Chapter Twenty-Four: Raising a High-Rise Building (Part II) (Four-in-One Debt Repayment)

Three days later, in the morning, Liu Yan came to Handan for the second time.

This time, he made all the preparations, first arrived at the Wei manor in the south of the city one day in advance, where he had a long talk with Gongsun Xun's client Wei Song, and then entered Handan City with full honor guards early this morning.

I have to say that the arrival of this Jizhou assassin seems to have also made Handan, which was already very lively, the icing on the cake.

After all, there is almost no such thing as the Son of Heaven going out on patrol in these years, and the local governors are not allowed to leave the station easily, so even if it is a big city like Handan, at most it will usher in the history of a state assassination.

Of course, compared to the people in Handan City, the people who were more surprised were Liu Yan and his state attachΓ©s.

"Wen Qi," in front of the public school, as soon as Liu Yan got out of the car, he couldn't help but point to the towering library and ask seriously. "For a few months, I won't ask you how you raised a tall building from the ground? You're just telling me that there are 100,000 books hidden here, as rumored to be? ”

"Uncle Fang laughed," Gongsun Xun, who had brought a group of people to greet each other, smiled knowingly after saluting. "It's just 10,000 books, in 10 copies."

"Oh......" Liu Yan looked abrupt. In this way, it can be regarded as a big deal, it is ten thousand books, where can it be easily gathered in this world? Moreover, although I have heard of the printing of the printing before, 100,000 volumes at a time are enough to shock the world! ”

"Everything is like this," Gongsun Xun said disapprovingly. "It's always unbelievable the first time, and that's what it looks like when you get used to it."

Liu Yan twisted his head slightly, but looked around again, which frightened many local wealthy and powerful families to bow their heads and pretend not to see: "I heard that the world-famous Cai Bojiao is also here, I have admired his name for a long time, but I have never had the opportunity to see ......."

"Gong Cai is indeed here, and he has served as a public school to sacrifice wine, if Uncle Fang is interested, he can go and see him at any time. But ......"

"But what?"

"But the past two days have been complicated," Gongsun Xun chuckled. "There are a lot of places that need to be bothered by Uncle Fang, and Cai Gong is afraid that he will also bathe in incense as a sacrificial wine, and prepare for tomorrow's sacrifice, if you want to talk about it deeply, you have to talk about it later."

"It doesn't hurt." Liu Yan naturally didn't care...... The word sacrificial wine originated from the elder who held the wine during the sacrifice, and the Taixue sacrificial wine doctor of the Han Dynasty also meant this, and the sacrificial wine, this year is a very sacred highlight, and the Son of Heaven must maintain respect, so it is understandable that Cai Bojiao bathed in incense and did not see guests.

And besides, Liu Yan's trip is complicated, and I am afraid that he will have to stay in Zhao for a while, but he doesn't care about this time...... In fact, participating in the 'opening ceremony' of Handan Public School tomorrow is one of the purposes of his trip. Even today, he has to do something for Gongsun Xun in the public school according to the agreement.

In this way, Liu Yan took all the people in the state to greet the people who came to greet him one by one, even in the face of the group of Zhao Guohao who asked him to send his concubine in the past, he didn't care, and he looked like a corporal of Lixian...... It took about half an hour to go directly to the gate of the public school at the invitation of Gongsun Xun.

However, after stepping into the door, as soon as he passed the shadow wall full of notices, this Jizhou assassin was stunned on the spot.

It turned out that the gate of the public school was a spacious courtyard, in which a large number of horizontal and vertical lines were drawn with white ash, and a bunch of squares were divided, and each grid had a grass futon and a small number of cases...... Of course, there is also a student with different costumes and indefinite ages, who are either sweating profusely and reading the papers, or have a relaxed face and a pen.

Looking at it roughly, there are more than three or four hundred people!

"Is this an exam?" Liu Yan was stunned for a few breaths before he suddenly reacted, and what he saw and heard in Wei's manor was also vivid.

"It's just a test for admission." Gongsun Xun immediately laughed. "It's better to divide them into classes and teach them according to their aptitude, right?"

"I'm afraid it's more than that, right?" Liu Yan, who has eighteen years of experience in running a school, of course, knew what it was called a thorough exam as soon as he heard it, but when he thought of the bottom that Wei Song had handed over to him last night, he couldn't stop chuckling. "Didn't Wen Qi say that filial piety would be publicly launched today? And let me come today to be a witness for you. ”

Gongsun Xun chuckled again, but did not refute.

It turned out that long before Cai Yong, Lu Bu and his entourage arrived, when the library building had just been erected, Zhao Guoxiang, who had never gone out, suddenly said that since he wanted to establish a public school, the filial piety of the middle school this year would be recommended by the public school, and he would naturally be recommended to the imperial court at that time.

Of course, this sounds a bit out of tune.

However, just a few days ago, the soon-to-be-established public school simply passed down a few documents through official channels and stuck them in various pavilions in the country, while naturally saying that they would continue to recruit students or something, and called on local scholars to report in the public school; On the other hand, he simply said that because the minister of state has a fate, there will be a preliminary examination the day before the opening ceremony, and everyone will have to take the ...... He also specifically said that as long as he is a child of Zhao, whether he wants to enter school or not, and whether he has a job or not, as long as he can rush to Handan Public School this morning, he can participate in this 'thorough examination'.

This implies ...... It is almost equivalent to telling everyone clearly that the previous rumors are true, and this year's filial piety, regardless of anything else, at least has to take this exam.

Of course, the real filial piety has already been arranged, and the children of the local wealthy families in Zhao have already enrolled in school, and even Gongsun Xun has already demarcated the youngest son of Zhang Shu, the former county prince, from the list sent by the Zhang, Wang, and Lu families in advance...... This is because Zhang Shu performed the best before, and he also died a Zhuangzi person.

However, this does not mean that Gongsun Xun cannot use this as bait to further improve the style of public schools and the gold content of public school students.

In fact, looking at the scale of the examiner in front of him, he knew that for the local students of Zhao Guo who heard about this at first glance, this matter was indeed exciting, and many in-service middle school officials also asked for leave to participate in this 'exam'.

There is no way, this is filial piety, and it is the fundamental road to the Han Dynasty...... Once a school is explicitly and covertly linked to this thing, they can't help but be impressed.

Even, Liu Yan actually saw the student of Wei Song who scolded their father and son in front of the Wei Manor before, and seemed to be the student of Wei Song who was bent on avoiding the exam rankings!

"Wen Qi is really whimsy." Liu Yan immediately lowered his voice and carefully withdrew the guard of honor.

Gongsun Xun smiled but did not speak...... He can't say that everything from the library to the exam is the plan given by his wife, right?

Of course, even Gongsun Xun himself thinks that his wife's idea of the final exam is 10,000 good. You know, when he issued temporary access permits to those people before, his head was already swollen by the names and origins of those scholars from all over the world.

Of course, in order to test the true level of these people, the questions are very difficult, and there are many of them......

"Wonderful!"

Rao knew that he shouldn't speak out more at this time, but when Liu Yan got a printed volume, he couldn't hide the instinct of an eighteen-year-old private teacher, and he actually praised it in public. "From the dictation of the original scriptures to the exposition of the sage's righteousness in the passages, to the independent composition, and then to the criminal law questions...... In particular, this last question is even more exciting, taking the previous Zhao Guoqing's investigation of acres of land as the original case, first counting the number of hidden acres of land, and then counting the year's arrears, but also to combine the "Spring and Autumn" to explain the subtle meaning of the country's middle school, and integrate arithmetic, law, and scriptures...... With all due respect, I beg you to say that this book could not have been compiled by a single person. ”

"It is the hard work of many celebrities in the public school." Naturally, someone next to him interjected to explain. "The last question is a ...... made by working together with Duke Wei without worry"

"I see." Liu Yan became more and more emotional. "In fact, the excellence of this paper is not only in a certain question, but also in the fact that the whole text is simple and complex, which can show the gap between the test takers......"

"What Uncle Fang said is very true," Wei Song also said with a smile. "Although my son Wei Chang has no intention of being filial piety this time, he also let him try it in the middle of the game...... How much does it take to see what level he really is? After all, this test paper is made of engraving, so it doesn't hurt to print one more copy. ”

Liu Yan slowly bowed his head when he heard this, staring at the test paper more and more, and at this moment, following Liu Yan's guard of honor here, a young man with tied hair standing behind Liu Fan looked panicked, and then slowly retreated......

"Ah Fan is old, so forget it, Ah Zhang." Liu Yan didn't look back, but raised his hand to hand the scroll back in his hand. "You haven't been crowned yet, go down and try!"

The young man with the bundled hair panicked, but he could only take the test paper with a bitter face, then took the paper and pen sent by others, and sat down in front of a few cases where no one was around...... Everyone didn't know that this must be the son and nephew of the Assassin Shi family who only arrived in Yecheng in the past few days, and even listening to the words, it is likely to be the son of the Liu Assassin family. As a result, the gaze inevitably became playful.

Of course, Gongsun Xun's eyes were particularly playful.

After all, the exam could not last all day, or even half a day, and at noon, a group of students got up nervously and respectfully handed the test paper and their answer paper to the front of the teacher.

After handing in the papers, the public school did not let these public school students leave, but let them stand in court and wait for their results...... It turned out that the public school actually had to read the papers on the spot, and thirty first-class people were assessed to participate in the banquet of the assassin in the middle school in the evening.

What does this mean, it goes without saying...... The minister of state does not ask about political affairs, and the princes below are helpless, so filial piety can only come in this strange way - first select thirty people based on talent and learning, and then talk about virtue and origin from these thirty people, and there is a history of thorns to supervise the whole process.

And this, in fact, is an important purpose for Gongsun Xun to invite Liu Yan here, he needs the other party to endorse the deviant matter of his 'election of filial piety' throughout the whole process!

That's right, it's for 'deviance', not for private grants of filial piety...... The latter is too ordinary, but it will not attract gossip, but Gongsun Xun's method of pretending to use exams to determine filial piety, even if it is only a primary election of thirty people, it is even more difficult for the world to accept, and it is necessary for a state assassin to come to the town.

Of course, the test papers are not vague at all, and even the results of the primary selection cannot be too fair...... The only thing Gongsun Xun can guarantee is that if there are really outstanding people among them, then pay more attention to it so that they can be pocketed.

The selection of materials for the country is false, and the selection of materials for oneself is true...... Tian Feng's eyes are like torches.

Due to the early preparation, dozens of top figures in the middle school and public school joined hands in the hall to mark the papers, the former was responsible for the objective topics, and the latter was responsible for the subjective discussion topics that had been discussed for a long time.

By evening, everything was ready.

Gongsun Xun personally put a few prepared names into more than 20 people, and then calmly led everyone out of the lobby and began to call people from back to front in person......

"Twenty-fourth, Handan Zhang Huai Zhang Zirong." Gongsun Xun shouted. "When I heard my name, I stepped forward to salute the princes and prepare for the evening banquet!"

Hearing this name, some people who knew the roots couldn't help but look sideways, and Zhang Huai, the youngest son of Zhang Shu, the former county Cheng, was even more overjoyed.

But soon, shrewd as Liu Tingshi didn't have time to guess.

"Twenty-third, Jiangxia Liu Zhang." Gongsun Xun paused slightly, but suddenly lost his hand. "Public school student Jiangxia Liu Zhang, come forward!"

Liu Yan in the house was stunned for a while, with his shrewdness, he couldn't guess Gongsun Xun's ghost idea, but at this time, he couldn't speak out again, and could only watch his youngest son Liu Zhang, who had been following his eldest son Liu Fan outside the hall, running out blankly to salute Gongsun Xun.

And sure enough, without waiting for this Liu Zhang to speak, Gongsun Xun chattered with a pleasant face: "Liu Zhang, right? Although Jiangxia is not easy to come by, since your father specially let you worship under our Handan Public School, then you must study diligently, live up to the hard work all the way, and live up to your father's hard work...... Do you have a place to live? ”

Liu Zhang, who is only sixteen or seventeen years old this year, looked at Gongsun Xun blankly, and then looked blankly at the lobby to find his own father...... And Liu Junlang stood behind the door, wanted to speak several times, closed his mouth a few times, but just pulled off another beard!

"I see." Seeing this, Gongsun Xun became more and more emotional, and actually stepped forward and patted the other party's shoulder. "Since your father let you enter our Handan Public School, then he is also my student, I will naturally treat you like a parent and nephew, it is better to live in my house for the time being......"

That's not all, saying this, Gongsun Xunfu dragged the other party again, and Zhengse introduced hundreds of students in the audience, as well as Zhao Guo's officials and celebrities who came to the exam...... Only then did everyone suddenly realize that Liu Tingshi of Benzhou knew that Handan Public School had a large collection of books and many famous teachers, so he actually sent his young son who was still tied his hair over and handed it over to teach here.

Looking at his stupid son, who was still dazed, Liu Yan in the door simply turned his head...... Anyway, he has many sons, not worse than this one! And besides, Gongsun Xun didn't want to leave his eldest son Liu Fan behind after all, just a young son who really needed to go to school, but it really didn't hurt.

The county official temple was deserted, and Xiang Xu still did not show up, so the banquet in the evening was held in the county temple...... To be honest, it's very shabby, and there are few kinds of food and drinks. But this is also something that can't be helped, after all, Liu Yan took the honor guard and subordinate officials to officially perform the duties of the assassin, and the assassin is to supervise the governors of the counties, many times, in order to avoid suspicion, some assassins will not even accept the hospitality of the county, but just live in the pavilion according to the regulations.

Of course, people like Liu Yan will not be like this, but they will not drink as much as they did in Gongsun Xun's private house before, so that they were successfully tested by Gongsun Xun.

But then again, there are also bad benefits to poor food and drink, at least it will be much easier to deal with business.

For example, choose filial piety...... Thirty candidates, except for seven or eight scholars from other places, most of the rest were nervous, but in this era when family background is generally recognized as a hard condition, when the Wei family, Handan family, and Li family are not involved, then the designation and recognition of Zhang Huai and Zhang Zirong will not have any waves.

"Wen Qi is really generous today." Probably because he was cheated in the matter of his son Liu Zhang, when Xiaolian was selected, dozens of scholars left together, and Liu Yan seemed a little unhappy at the empty banquet. "It's okay if you have some funding for these outstanding scholars, and it is naturally good to reward the good and punish the bad, but so many students in the public school actually have to be free of board and lodging, and they also have to provide clothes, aren't you afraid of going too far?"

What Liu Yan said was the promise made by Gongsun Xun just before sending those scholars away...... Of course, it is also a plan provided by Aunt Gongsun, which is probably some kind of scholarship, free school uniforms and other things.

"Uncle Fang is too worried." Gongsun Xun didn't seem to notice Liu Yan's attitude, but immediately explained. "The public school is so big, there is actually a quota for students, we are ready to use 300 as the standard, clothes, crowns, belts, food and lodging, all with this as a quota, and I will help the students with private money. Now it's just a start-up, in order to make a name for itself, it is inevitable to recruit more, and many students are brought together from the original children of the professors in the school, so it is difficult to divide, so there is a bit of an excess...... As for the future, if there are many people coming, they can only let the middle school teachers inspect and choose the best ones to form a system. ”

"That being said, there's something wrong with that." Liu Yan still shook his head. "Wen Qi, after all, you are only here for a handan order, if you are here for a year or two, you will either specialize in other counties, or enter Luo as an official, or ...... In short, do you still want to help this public school in Handan at that time? Moreover, there is only one public school in Hebei, and there is such a library here, if it only recruits three hundred, will it attract resentment for a long time? ”

"Why not still help?" Gongsun Xun smiled slightly, pretending not to understand what the other party meant. "Do you have to let go of the matter of student assistance because you can't make political achievements for yourself? Besides, I donated 100,000 books, and I only had food and clothing for 300 people every year, and I still have this money at home...... As for the matter of the 300 quota, with all due respect, it is not what Uncle Fang thinks. ”

"What does that mean?" Liu Yan, who was sitting at the top, was puzzled for a while.

"Since it's a public school," Gongsun Xun said. "It's just for Zhao Guo, at this time there is only one in Hebei, maybe you can accept students from other places, but the quota of 300 is just the quota of Zhao State in my heart...... In the future, whether I will transfer to Shita County, or not to Shita County, I will also start to study. ”

As soon as these words came out, not only Liu Yan, but also other people in the audience also looked sideways.

Wen Qi laughed. Liu Yan came back to his senses and shook his head again and again. "And it's the other way around, with a capacity of 300, Zhao Guo only has a population of 180,000......"

"Two hundred and thirty thousand!"

"What?" Liu Yan was puzzled for a while.

"In the past, we recruited bandits from the mountains in the summer, and cleaned up the fields and household registration before and after the autumn harvest, and the registered population of the country is now 230,000." Gongsun Xun replied proudly.

Liu Yan first bowed his head slowly, and then shook his head gently: "Wen Qi is in power, it is indeed amazing." But with a population of 230,000, where did so many people come from? Your system and ideas are good, but you can't help but lose impatience. ”

"There's always someone who wants to read." Gongsun Xun still held his head high and argued. "It's just that I don't have a chance. The Han Dynasty continues to this day, and there are many tired states, the first is that the court is not solemn, and the second is that the people are displaced...... But there are also reasons why there is a blockage up and down, and the people have no way to advance. The more they don't have poetry and books, the more they need to read and write, so that they can ask for something and make progress! Just like this Zhao State, don't just talk about the children of the family, Haoqiang, and big families, just ask those county officials and businessmen, if I allow their children to come here today, and see if they are willing to send their children here? If this is not enough, there are not enough 300 people, and there are many people under my command who are eager to learn and read......"

Gongsun Xun talked eloquently, whether it was Liu Yan next to him, Wei Song and others, but they gradually fell silent...... This is actually the reason why these people are really afraid of Gongsun Xun and are willing to tolerate him.

Something...... Whether it is the monopoly of the official position of the clan, or the strong and powerful concealing the household registration, or everyone working together to make the common people have no way to live, they are not unaware, nor do they understand the stakes, nor are they really shameless enough to be unwilling to change the status quo. They are the real elite in this big empire, and to say that they have no morality and no vision is to insult them!

But they always have all kinds of fears and scruples, so they don't want to say these things and do these things.

But the young man in front of him not only dared to say and do, but also did really well...... The so-called obstacles and difficulties that I am afraid of like a tiger are like jokes under the vigor and courage of this person!

It's like this household registration, Zhao Guo's 180,000 population seems to have become 230,000 in the blink of an eye, and there are 50,000 more tax-paying people all of a sudden...... But behind this is the combination of grace and power, where do Liu Yan, who is the history of a state assassin, and Wei Song, who is watching from Handan, not know?

Gongsun Xun first exterminated the Shen clan, then killed a county magistrate next door, and forced the Wei clan and the Handan clan to 'concede' the two filial piety, and forced powerful people in the country to sign and agree to the 'two-year plan', and finally cleaned up the Taihang Mountain bandits in Zhao to win the trust of the people...... But even so, when it was time to clean up the household registration, even if most of the powerful patriarchs and elders had already nodded, it was still difficult to implement it within the clan.

What filial piety, what official position, to put it bluntly, is still the benefits of the core of the clan, and what does it have to do with other people? On the contrary, it is the hidden vains and fields that are the foundation of these people.

As a result, throughout September to October, almost the entire Zhao State was rumored, and the name of Gongsun Xun was also circulated everywhere in Hebei, even if Liu Yan had set the tone for Gongsun Xun's killing of Zhen Du before, there were actually some alternative remarks at this time; On the other hand, there are even more open swords and hidden arrows among the countryside of Zhao State, and every family is using various means to fight to the death.

Last night, Liu Yan and Wei Song were blunt when they discussed this matter, and if they were replaced, they might basically give up, Wei Song was frank that he didn't have the ability to solve it, and Liu Yan ...... said that he was also very incompetent, but in fact, people like him would not have done such thankless things in the first place.

However, Gongsun Xun in reality has no scruples.

He opened the killing ring again...... Not only the Wei family, the Handan family, the Li family, the Zhang family, the Wang family, and the Lu family all had their heads on the ground, but the Qin family, who had just married Gongsun Xun, actually had three people abandoned the city!

From beginning to end, the righteous man riding a white horse rampaged all over the Zhao country, and he had no intention of stopping, which frightened every household to change their complexion, and even the officials of the other four counties were also under the direct intervention of the two postal governors, and they all cheered up and stepped up their cooperation with the investigation.

On the other hand, this Handan Ling, who was as sharp as mowing grass, hurriedly accelerated the construction of this library building, and used 100,000 books and this public school, as well as this just-implemented filial piety and honesty to promote the promise, and forcibly pulled back his reputation!

Thinking of this, Liu Yan also remembered the library again...... I have to say that these 100,000 books, like the 200 righteous followers under Gongsun Xun, are all things that people can't resist at all. He just endured the matter of his youngest son Liu Zhang, although he felt that his son didn't care, but why didn't he want his son to make progress in a school with 10,000 books?

One article and one martial arts are indeed convincing.

In this case, the speech is a little sideways, the power is a little more independent, and the style of action is a little beyond the so-called 'limit'...... What about you?

"Uncle Fang, Uncle Fang!" Gongsun Xun shouted repeatedly.

"Oh," Liu Yan suddenly responded, but his depression suddenly disappeared, and he even raised his glass kindly. "Wen Qi has something to say."

"I take the liberty of asking," Gongsun Xun looked around and asked seriously. "Uncle Fang, have you made up your mind?"

The feast was stunned again.

Liu Yan also swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and put the wine glass back again: "Wenqi, be cautious!" ”

Gongsun Xun looked disapplieving: "Duke Ming is the uncle of Jizhou, I am a county commander under the rule of Jizhou, Maocai is certainly decided by Duke Ming, but don't I have the right and responsibility to recommend the subordinates?!" ”

What do you say...... It would be strange if there were!

Jizhou has nine counties, hundreds of large counties and small counties, and only one Maocai a year, why should a county order be 'recommended' when one mouth is closed?

I think that Gongsun Xun made a special honor in Liucheng at the beginning, and he was recommended by his father-in-law Liaoxi Taishou and Youbeiping Wang Taishou, as well as his own family background, teacher and other backgrounds...... Then Liu Yu hesitated for a long time before he reluctantly agreed to a Maocai, not to mention Jizhou, which has more people and fewer official positions?

"Wen Qi." Liu Yan was speechless, he still hoped to use this Maocai to win over several big clans in the state, but he really didn't want to offend the other party, so he could only try his best to lie. "This year, Wang Tingshi left too quickly, I came in a hurry, and the date was approaching, so I had already allowed Mao Cai out in a hurry......

Gongsun Xun became more and more sullen: "Wei Changminggong, the son of Duke Wei, also saw it with his own eyes, such a character, is Ming Duke so disdainful?" ”

Wei Song was dumbfounded, Liu Yan was even more embarrassed, and everyone at the banquet was completely at a loss.

But when it came to this, Liu Junlang could only continue with a shy face and continued to say that he had indeed settled Maocai, and since Wei Chang had just left with those scholars, Wei Song had no choice but to get up and resign. But Gongsun Xun still looked angry, as if both sides owed him a Maocai.

It can only be said that there are also Hebei celebrities such as Anping Leyin during the banquet, as well as other people in the state and Zhizhong, as well as people such as Lu Fan, Xianpei, Lou Gui, Wang Xiu and others...... Everyone went into battle together, and after repeated persuasion, Gongsun Xun's face changed.

"It's not for no reason," Gongsun Xun sighed. "I really think that Uncle Fang is a little underestimated by our Zhao Guoyingjie characters."

"Absolutely not." Liu Yan was helpless. "Wen Qi has outstanding vision, I don't know, there is really only one Maocai, but the candidate has already been decided......"

"Is the state full?" Gongsun Xun suddenly asked coldly.

Liu Yan was slightly stunned, but he was not angry but happy: "Yingjie in the seat, who does Wen Qi want to recommend to me?!" ”

The Han system, engaged in the state, is the assistant official of the history of the state thorn, the rank is very low, and the same as the post superintendent, only a hundred stones...... This is also something that can't be helped, after all, the state thorn history is only six hundred stones! However, another feature of the same peculiarity as that of the Superintendent of Mail is that the duties of this office are extremely heavy, and generally speaking, it is engaged in the regular handling of things in the state!

As for the source of this position, it is said that when a state assassin patrols a certain county, he will often select a low-level official with outstanding ability from the local area to do it for himself, theoretically one for each county, and then this person will be in charge of the daily affairs of the county...... The nine counties of Jizhou are generally engaged in nine states.

However, in reality, it is not so simple and straightforward.

First of all, with the permanent establishment of the state assassin history and the permanent state governance, the engagement in this position has also become institutionalized and permanent, so many assassins will leave a lot of work when they leave office, and it is impossible for the new assassin to say that all the previous occupations will be replaced as soon as they take office, and it is unlikely that they will be re-promoted as one county and one is engaged in.

Second, the power and responsibility of this position are very heavy, and the original system of selecting low-level officials from various localities has gradually become outdated...... In fact, it is generally possible to talk and laugh with a county magistrate in a state, and there are often cases where the Qianshi county commander is recruited by the state to engage in it after returning home.

Later, this position lost even the characteristics of localization, and gradually became the place where the state assassin appointed private individuals.

Of course, having said that, Gongsun Xun openly asked for a position, and Liu Yan was particularly surprised...... After all, now is not the time for Liu Tingshi's son to go straight to Handan with a donkey, let alone the time for Gongsun Xun to lead two hundred cavalry light cavalry to take office.

It can even be said that Liu Yan has long been extremely greedy for the trial, Lou Gui, Wang Xiu and others.

"Bongxian!" Gongsun Xun nodded slowly, and then raised his hand to signal that he was sitting in the corner and came out alone.

Lu Bu took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, and got up to go out.

"This is the state uncle Liu Gong." Gongsun Xun Zhengse introduced. "Gong Liu, this is Cai Bojiao's disciple Wuyuan Lu Bu Lu Fengxian...... He is good at the piano, has the ability of Boya, and is proficient in martial arts, such as flying will be reincarnated! Both civil and military, nothing more than this! Israel is engaged in separation, and he is already very wronged! ”

Lu Bu bowed in front of the hall and was very respectful.

Liu Yan was stunned for a while, and then nodded helplessly: "Since he is a disciple of Cai Bojiao, and he is recommended by Wen Qi, and there is a shortage of people in the state, I will ask him to be a member of the state, and in the future, the affairs of the Zhao country will be handled by you for the state!" ”

Lu Bu was overjoyed...... He really didn't expect that he couldn't even ask for a county official that day, but now he has become a disciple of Cai Yong, and with the recommendation of Gongsun Xun, he can actually become a state, and it is a big state like Jizhou.

After years of hard work, is it time to operate?!

Surprised, he didn't even understand Liu Yan's tone, let alone Gongsun Xun and Lou Gui looked at each other slightly at this time.

That's right, this is Lou Zibo's suggestion - be gracious, recommend, and use it elsewhere.

This suggestion is based on the disposal of Cheng Pu, Gao Shun, Cheng Lian, and Xu Rong...... The Han Dynasty is in full swing, and it is impossible to say that all these competent generals have been with him, but Gongsun Xun rarely worries about what will happen to these four people in the future.

First of all, Cheng Pu is a township party, and he was almost single-handedly picked up by Gongsun Xun, from serving as Gongsun Zhao's assistant to Gongsun Xun's two recommendations, that is, a while ago, his fake Sima was transferred to a full-time post Sima from other departments, and he was Gongsun Xuntuo's favor, which can be called Gongsun's protΓ©gΓ© and hometown party...... This kind of person, unless Gongsun Xun is incompetent and immoral to the extreme in the future, is really called to come and go!

Secondly, Gao Shun is a person, one naturally takes a fancy to this person's loyalty and innocence, and the other is Gongsun Xun, who also has great kindness to him...... From a military companion, he was promoted to Qu Junhou in one fell swoop, this kindness is enough for him Gao Suqing to pay off for two lifetimes!

As for Xu Rong, he is actually somewhere in between.

The Amway moved east to Liaodong, giving them some feeling of the township party, but it was not as close as Cheng Pu; The father and son were both born in the promotion of Gongsun Yu, and they made meritorious contributions under Gongsun Xun, and they are also standard protΓ©gΓ©s of the Gongsun family, but Gongsun Yu is a branch of Liaodong after all, and it is still not as solid as Cheng Pu; In addition, during the conquest of Goguryeo, Xu Rong was ignorant and troubled several times, but Gongsun Xun also tried his best to protect it, even if he had some kindness, but it was not as deep as Gao Shun...... But all together, what is there to worry about?

Becoming an incorruptible ...... To put it bluntly, Gongsun Xun doesn't care, he was raised as a hunting dog from the beginning, not worse than one or two!

Then Lu Bu's disposition is inspired by the disposition of these people, the so-called comprehensive disposition of distance, kindness, and personal perception:

First of all, it is recommended, the most important thing in the Han Dynasty is this, there is no need to say more, once Lu Bu's career starts here, then Lu Fengxian will inherit the love of Sun Xun and Liu Yan for a lifetime...... It's as if theoretically he needs to be grateful to Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo for the rest of his life.

Second, this disposition puts the two at a distance that is not too far away for easy observation.

After all, although Lu Bu is theoretically a subordinate of Liu Yan, he is responsible for the affairs of Zhao State, and Yecheng is too close to Handan, so the state does not need to be fixed in Yecheng, which means that he is actually working for Gongsun Xun and Liu Yan at the same time.

In addition, the term of office of the state assassin is relatively short, Liu Yan himself is the 'elder of the clan' favored by the Son of Heaven, and he may be promoted and leave at any time, and according to Gongsun Xun's suspicion of his teacher, I am afraid that the other party will not let him go to the border county easily, and the eunuchs are not very happy to return to the center by themselves, so it is very likely to continue to work in Hebei...... In other words, Liu Yan may get out at any time, and Lu Bu, a border county from the state, must be attached to Gongsun Xun if he wants to continue to maintain himself in Hebei.

At that time, if Gongsun Xun really observes enough, he can completely use it for his own use.

In the end, if Lu Bu kicked his nose on his face, he would not look down on himself as soon as he climbed up to Liu Yan, but would follow Liu Junlang loyally for a lifetime, and Liu Junlang felt that Feng Xian was a good person, and he recognized a godson or something and brought it all the way to Chengdu...... Then let him follow, just worry-free!

Of course, Lou Gui originally provided two plans, one was to recommend it to the state, and the other was to ask Zhao Ping to come forward to find a source for Lu Bu among King Zhao's subordinates...... However, the latter is actually no different from direct appointment, and more importantly, Gongsun Xun respects the weight of the word Lu Bu, the state is engaged in a position with great power and responsibility, and the officials of King Zhao, if they are not more than a thousand stone court officials, they are basically abolished, but I am afraid that it will make Lu Bu resentful.

But for the time being...... After Lu Bu bowed to Liu Yan, he hurriedly thanked Gongsun Xun and saluted...... is still polite, and seems sincere and reliable, as if he is indeed grateful to Gongsun Xun.

It can only be said that the days have been long, and I have seen it.

Once this was done, there was no more trouble with the feast.

After everyone dispersed, Gongsun Xun personally took Lu Bu to send Liu Yan to rest...... The latter still gave face, and actually stayed in Gongsun Xun's mansion.

However, just when Gongsun Xun thought that everything was broken today, Liu Yan took the initiative to hold him and withdrew everyone, including his son, and regained his honesty in the small courtyard where they had a good conversation that day.

"Wen Qi." Liu Yanzheng said. "You and I have a relationship, and if I ask you something, you have to speak to me bluntly......"

"If Ming Gong has something to say, he will say it." Gongsun Xun didn't care.

"Thou hast soothed and appeased, and recruited the homeless; Check the household registration and clear the acres; Nowadays, schools are being built to promote filial piety and ...... What else will be done in the future? Liu Yan asked seriously.

"Ming Gong seems to already know." Gongsun Xun said disapprovingly. "Could it be that Duke Wei told you?"

"Then the rumors are true, do you really want to build water conservancy and control the Qilu River next?"

"Exactly!" Gongsun Xun replied without hesitation.

"Wen Qi." Liu Yan sighed. "I have been to Julu, Anping, Changshan, and Bohai in the past few months, which is an eye-opener...... Bohai is the largest county in Hebei, with a population of more than one million, and has the benefits of fish and salt, but the rule of officials has collapsed, and the people are constantly displaced in the blue sky and daylight; Changshan is on the left and right, and the thieves are wandering, and it has only been a few months since you cleaned up the Black Mountain, and it has become a den of thieves again; Anping is the land where the Son of Heaven is prosperous, but because of this, there are so many lawbreakers who contact the palace there, and it is really difficult to control; As for Julu, it's by your side, I don't believe you don't know about the Taiping Dao, a person who has rebelled, colluding with Haoqiang everywhere and collecting disciples to confuse the public, isn't Zhao Guo affected? ”

"What exactly does Ming Gong want to say?" Gongsun Xun said helplessly.

"Zhao Guo, you govern very well." Liu Yan said seriously. "If the water conservancy can be completed in the future, it will be needless to say. But your previous warning to me in this courtyard was even more correct...... Where can the prosperity of a country be worthy of the collapse of the whole world? It is that the world has not collapsed, only in terms of Zhao Guo, Julu Taiping Road is on the side, once something happens, aren't you afraid that your hard work will come to naught? ”

Gongsun Xun didn't know how to reply to Liu Yan, a pessimist for a while...... He can't say, I know that the world is going to collapse, and I am more convinced than you that the collapse of the world will come soon, but I need to accumulate political experience to solve the troubled times, and I need to convince everyone around me that I have the ability to rebuild order, so that more people can choose themselves after the collapse of this world.

Therefore, even if there is chaos at that time, your efforts will come to naught, it will be worth it.

Surely that can't be said.

However, if you don't say that, how do you reply to the other party?

"Since it's the right thing, then you should do it," Gongsun Xun frowned slightly, and said in a perfunctory tone that he wasn't very sure. "The eldest husband was born in the world, and when he sees that the building is about to collapse, can't he sit idly by?"

Liu Yan was silent for a while, and only after a long time did he speak: "Actually, when I came back from inspecting the four counties last month, I didn't mention the bandits and homeless people, but I had already told the court about the Taiping Road, but it was sunk in the sea...... The Son of Heaven is just enjoying himself in the West Garden, not asking about political affairs, but Yang Gong (Yang Ci) wrote to me, saying that in the spring of this year, when Taiping Dao took advantage of the expansion of the epidemic, he and Lingshi Liu Gong once wrote a book together about this matter, but the song was sparsely served, and the Son of Heaven probably didn't read it at all. ”

Gongsun Xun was speechless for a while.

"I think you're all right, but you haven't dealt with the Taiping Dao in Zhao Kingdom," Liu Yan reminded in a low voice. "It's better to be careful...... I've worked so hard to do so much, and how long can I save it. ”

Gongsun Xun slowly bowed his head...... He had never dealt with Taiping Dao before, firstly, there were not as many Taiping Dao in Zhao Guo as he imagined; Second, I felt that the deer was beside me, and I didn't dispose of it.

Two ambivalences, which only missed this question...... In fact, according to Wang Xian's candid disclosure that day with Han Dang and Lou Gui who came back, the ambitions of the Zhang Jiao brothers in Taiping Dao were actually well known to passers-by in Taiping Dao. And the reason why Wang Daoren chose to take refuge in Gongsun Xun was precisely because he was born in the Taiyuan Wang clan and did not want to be a thief.

"So be it!" Liu Yan waved his hand helplessly. "Talk about each other in private, stop here, you and I can do it ourselves."

Gongsun Xun immediately came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Communicate in private, God knows you know and I know...... There is a heavy gift in the house, and the right is an elegant matter, and Liu Gong does not have to refuse. ”

After that, he said goodbye and left.

Liu Yan didn't know why, but after calling his son and attendant to the hospital, and then returning to the bedroom where he had already lit the lamp, he was suddenly stunned!

It turned out that the bed was neatly tidy, and there were countless books stacked on top of it, and there was a piece of paper pressed on it, Liu Yan hurriedly reached out and took it down, but saw a sentence clearly written on it:

'Once the bereaved person is given a thousand gold, Uncle Fang will accept a bribe of 10 million yuan from me, and he should be beheaded according to the law. ’

Liu Yan laughed for a while, but he couldn't help but be overjoyed, all kinds of forcible patience and unswerving patience with Gongsun Xun before, and even the pessimism and anxiety about the situation just now, all disappeared in front of these ten thousand books.

Of course, this is Liu Junlang, who has bullied the mountains for 18 years, and he doesn't understand technology.

The difference between the consumption of one copy and ten copies of 10,000 books is not large, and ninety percent of the hard work is in the printing and engraving of these 10,000 books...... And those are the places where the Amway Bookstore has worked hard for several years since Gongsun Xun obtained the collection of books in Cai Yong's house.

As for the difference between 10 copies and 20 copies when printing, I am afraid that the gap is smaller than the former, Liu Kuan, Lu Zhi, Tian Feng, and Fu Zhu actually received one copy at home, and there are many in Liaodong, that is, Yanmen Pingcheng, Cheng Pu, they all received a lot of books from Amway.

It can only be said that Aunt Gongsun has collected papermaking technology from the beginning of Amway's construction to the present, and has accumulated a lot of hard work, but it has finally broken out after decades of hard work, and it is also a son who admires it.

People are like this, there is no conflict with their relatives, and they are far away, so they can't help but always think about the benefits of the other party.

Turning the corner and saying goodbye to Lu Bu, for some reason, Gongsun Xun seemed to be preoccupied, and he didn't know until he reached the brightly lit backyard.

As soon as he raised his head, he saw that his wife Zhao Yun was actually chatting happily with a young white-faced man in the backyard hall at night...... It also made Gongsun Xun in a trance for a while, and he couldn't figure out if he had drunk too much before.

Of course, Gongsun Xun reacted immediately, and the main hall was given to Cai Yong's family, and his wife could only be here if she wanted to meet guests. Moreover, after walking over, he saw that it was not only his wife and her maid, but Cai Yan was also playing with the two big cats here, and I thought that Zhao Yun specially asked her to come over to avoid suspicion when she was a guest.

"Husband!" Zhao Yun also smiled when she saw Gongsun Xun coming back. "There is good news from Liaodi, in the middle of last month, Yu'er added a daughter to us...... Mother and daughter are safe! ”

Gongsun Xun suddenly realized...... His little Ah Li was born, and he became a father, so the news should indeed come now.

However, for some reason, Gongsun Xun, who had been prepared in his heart, didn't have much surprise at this time, so he just nodded with a slight smile...... At the same time, I also have a little bit of clarity and understanding of my wife's excitement.

"That's good." No matter what, Gongsun Xun couldn't hide his joy after all. "I am also relieved that their mother and daughter are with their mother...... This is the Messenger, how is he born? ”

"I've seen the king!" The young man who had already stood up next to him hurriedly saluted. "Under ......"

"Fujun, this is not our family, but a messenger on the way." Zhao Yun was probably afraid that her husband would misunderstand, so she hurriedly explained. "He is a villager of our Qinghe, isn't my father a feudal Hou? They Qinghe Zhu happened to have lived in Xiaocheng for generations......"

With the introduction of his wife, Gongsun Xun completely realized, it turned out that this person was a fellow villager of Zhao Yunqinghe's hometown, after the first battle in Liucheng that day, his father-in-law became famous all over the world, because of admiration, and because he was a very close villager, this person simply went to Liaoxi to join his father-in-law after being crowned, and served in the county. However, recently, his father-in-law considered that his term of office might expire and his future was uncertain, and Zhao Yun had written home about the public school and the library, so his father-in-law suggested that this young villager come here to enroll while he was still young, and it was also to wait for his father-in-law's new place to go to school, and then let this person chase him......

The people of Qinghe belong to Jizhou, not far from here; His wife, the protΓ©gΓ© of his father-in-law, is not an ordinary family, and his background is not low, otherwise he would not have come forward to entertain him; And then I have been out today, and the news brought by the way is so heavy, and I still need to introduce this person, so my wife has been waiting for this person with this person until now......

"Your surname is Zhu?" Gongsun Xun asked.

"Qinghe Zhu Ling, small character Wenbo, I have seen Jun Hou." This person waited until Zhao Yun finished chattering and introducing, and Gongsun Xun asked a new question, before he bowed to show respect. "I am a retainer in the next place, and please wait for the king not to see outside!"

Gongsun Xun bowed his head slowly, and could only say that looking at this temperament, he is a safe person.

"Can I go back to sleep?" At this moment, Cai Yan suddenly picked up his big white cat and got up to ask.

"Thank you for your hard work." Gongsun Xun was a little embarrassed...... This year, the sun rises and the sun sets, and it is not authentic for children to stay up late.

The little girl picked up her big white cat, hurriedly walked to the front yard, and walked to the door, but suddenly looked back and bowed: "The prince is above, you have encountered such a happy event now, I wonder if you can stop bullying my father in the past few days?" ”

Gongsun Xun's embarrassment was completely gone, but he waved his hand again and again, and he couldn't catch up.

"The art of engraving, or the Taizu saw the Xiping Stone Scripture and gave birth to righteousness, and returned to the Queen Mother of Liaoxi Yan to make woodblock hammering and rubbing, and recorded Gongsun paper. However, the cost of an engraving is several times that of copying, so it was not heard of in the world at first. In the later Han Guanghe period, Taizu greatly promoted culture and education in Handan, with more than 10,000 volumes of books and engravings at home, reproduced more than 30 records, obtained 300,000 volumes, each divided into 100,000 volumes of Handan, Xiangping, and widely presented to the great Confucian masters, for a time the sea was booming. In other words, the former Taizu begged Zhao to assassinate Liu Yan in Jizhou, but he did not allow it, and repeatedly looked at the Handan Library. Taizu knew what he meant, and secretly sent people to leave thousands of books on the couch. Yan returned, and sighed: 'It is better to give someone a thousand gold, it is better to leave a person, and now Handan has ordered me to bribe me with tens of millions of gold, why not obey?' When the world hears of it, it is known as the Handan Library and the 100 million gold building. - "New Yanshu". Biography of Wen Yuan
