When the victory report came from the front, Pei Gai was feasting Wei Zhan and Li Ju without Du, it was very good that his body and bones could survive to Chang'an, but he moved directly to the couch from the carriage, and it is estimated that he will not recover These two have been arriving for a few days, and they are bargaining with Pei Gai and asking for a good official to do.

Since they are in-laws and good families, both parties brought their wives, and the banquet was happy. Pei should know that Li Ju writes well from Wei, and the Wei family has been calligraphers for several generations (except Wei Zhan), if Li Ju is not good at writing, how can he marry Mrs. Wei as his wife? However, you can't let it go outside......"

Pei Gai's original intention was to make Wei Zhan and Li Ju both the first county guards and state ministers, although their level is average, but they have experience in governing the county and the country in the past, so they shouldn't be out of the big basket, right? He took advantage of the opportunity to call back the two brothers and gave them a heavy responsibility. But who would have thought that these two wanted to be officials, but they were impatient with the complicated affairs of the magistrates, and they were only willing to serve as idle officials in the court.

Just as the victory of stability was reported, Pei Cai wanted to appoint Li Ju as the stability of the Taishou, Li Maoyue shook his head again and again, and said: "Its place is close to Hu, I am afraid it will be difficult for me to take on the heavy responsibility...... and then asked Wei Zhan, Wei Daoshu has the same caliber. Pei Cai cursed these two goods 10,000 times in his heart, and said in his heart that if I didn't have enough people to use, and I would be re-in-married in this life, I wouldn't bother to deal with you at all! On the surface, they are still smiling. In the end, after discussing for a long time, he promised to let Wei Zhan take over as the minister of Fufeng and transfer Pei Zhan to be stable and too guarded; As for Li Ju, he really wants to learn to write with him, so he should stay in the capital for the time being as a Chinese scholar.

Soon after the two resigned, a report came to the door, saying that there was an Anding Hu clan to worship. Pei Gai took the famous thorn and took a look, this person's name is Hu Yan, the word Ziyan, and he used to be a yin county magistrate.

The surname Hu is said to be Hu Gongman, originally lived in Henan, the branch moved west to Linjing in the Han Dynasty, Cao Wei had a car cavalry general Hu Zun, Hu Zun's son Hu Fen because of the respect of his relatives (his daughter is the favorite concubine of Emperor Sima Yan of the Jin Dynasty), promoted to the left servant shooting, plus the town army general, Kaifu Yi with the three divisions, in addition to five brothers, but also out of three two thousand stones, also regarded as a famous family for a while.

However, Pei Gai was most impressed by Hu Fen's nephew Hu Yuan, who was found in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", who murdered Zhong Hui with Wei He...... Hu Yuan was finally killed by Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu, in the "Rebellion of the Eight Kings", and the Andan Hu clan gradually sank.

But even so, in Anding County today, there are no high-ranking families over Hu and Liang, and Linjing Hu is still ranked above Wushi Liang. Pei should have heard that most of the Hu family fled south in the war, but he didn't expect this to turn back? I was very pleased and immediately summoned Hu Yan.

Hu Yan is the eldest son-in-law of the Hu family of this generation, about thirty years old, long and jade, handsome appearance, into the main hall to take a look, only to see Pei Gai standing on the top, sitting sideways a secretary, in addition to the two behind, there are also two subordinates, shy chest and belly, holding a halberd guard. Hu Yan was about to get closer, but Pei Gai ordered him to sit down in front of the door, and there was a gap of six or seven steps between the two.

Hu Yan was a little unhappy in his heart, so he didn't sit down, and arched his hand upward: "Pei Gong has no ambition in the world?" Why snub the sage? ”

Pei Gai smiled: "Qing is a sage? When we first met, I couldn't tell the difference. ”

Hu Yan replied: "That is, I am not virtuous, I am a scholar after all, I want to see Confucianism in the past Han Dynasty, and I almost lost it; Today's chaos is still in chaos, if Pei Gong has the ambition to recover, he should not be so rude! ”

Pei Gai sighed helplessly: "I have to do it, I was just assassinated a few days ago, so I have to be cautious." ”

His prudence is the current arrangement. Since it is impossible to arrange Wang Zhuo, who can penetrate the killing machine, by his side at any time, he had to call Guo Pu and said in his heart Guo Jingchun, you can see faces after all, even if you are not as good as Wang Zhuo, you can always help me take a few more glances and make a reference, right? In addition, the two of them will be guarded at any time, so that the wife does not have to do it herself. Third, for strangers, it's better not to get too close, just sit at the door first.

Wen Lang once mentioned that anyone who entered to see the lord, we all searched the body in the hall before letting them go, but they were repelled by Pei Gai. You must know that ordinary people have no qualifications and opportunities to see themselves, and those who can enter the court are basically scholars, so you dare to search scholars? The rumor will go out, how can I save face, and how can I recruit the world's talents?

If it is really an assassin, it will not be a long weapon at all, and there is no dagger hidden anywhere, just like the "Pei Tan" last time, Pei should indeed keep his promise and give him a quick death, but he still ordered to split his body to vent his hatred Even if the official enters the court, in the face of the Son of Heaven, there is no reason to search his body in advance. Then how could he General Pei search for the body of a scholar?

Pei should really miss the future life, take a metal detector and shake it on his body, and he can search for the weapon without touching it or even taking off his clothes. In these years, apart from the metal, there is really nothing that can be used for assassination, have you ever seen an assassin use a stone knife? It seems that he attacked Shile and used jade on the day, what do you think will happen?

Of course, it is also impolite to order people not to come close and sit down in front of the door, but Pei should not give in anymore, so he had to explain: "I have to do it, I was just assassinated a few days ago, so I have to be cautious." ”

When Hu Yan heard this, he couldn't help but be taken aback, and asked casually: "Isn't it sent by Hu Kou?" ”

Pei Caixin said that your news is really closed, is it true that you just returned from the south? He didn't answer that he didn't have this obligation, but just waved his hand: "Please sit down and come to me today, what is the matter?" ”

Since he was assassinated not long ago, it is reasonable to be cautious now, Hu Yan is not good to ask for approach, otherwise the other party will definitely wonder in his heart, what do you mean? Are you really an assassin too?! So he arched his hand, sat down on his knees, and then replied: "Because I heard that Jiao Song rebelled against the county and fought against him, I came to ask for advice." My Hu clan is a big clan in Linjing, and I am quite popular, and I can sneak to capture Jiao Song and dedicate the city to the imperial court......"

Pei Gai said with a smile: "Qing came late, so I got to report, Jiao Song has already been awarded." ”

When Hu Yan heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little stunned, so he had to say: "Thanks to Pei Gong, Linjing is out of the hands of rebellion. ”

Pei Caixin said that he has come to meet these days, and there are more scholars who want to beg for officials or take refuge in me, although I am short of people, it is impossible to accept all the orders, "What is Qing good at, how to work for me?" ”

Hu Yan replied: "There is nothing else to do, only to manage the people, in the past, in the Yin County, for three years as a chief, the test test is said to be ......."

Pei should ask him: "Why did Qing abandon his official position?" ”

Hu Yan's face was slightly red, and he replied: "In the midst of chaos, the Son of Heaven is covered with dust, Zhao Ran rebelled in Puban, Liu Yao came to invade Guanzhong, and the King of Nanyang (Sima Mo) was trapped in Chang'an, and he couldn't send a soldier to save him, so I had no choice but to return to Linjing, and because of the fate of the clan, I migrated south with a ......."

Sima Mo, the king of Nanyang, was in the first year of Yongjia (307) to replace Sima Zhen, the king of Hejian, who was murdered by him, to guard Guanzhong, when there was a great hunger in Guanzhong, and Pei Bao disobeyed orders according to Qinzhou, and Sima Mo's ruling foundation was quite weak. But even so, when the elder brother Sima Yue summoned him back to the dynasty to serve as Sikong, Sima Mo still politely excused himself Although Guanzhong is poor and far away from Hu Shang, now that the Hu army from all walks of life has the potential to encircle Luoyang, how can I dare to go to the east?

But who wanted to be soon, Hu Hanjun immediately captured Luoyang, captured Emperor Huai of Jin, and then plotted against Guanzhong. Sima Mo sent the tooth gate general Zhao Ran to garrison the Puban ferry, Zhao Ran encountered the enemy, could not ask for help, and surrendered to Liu Can, and then Liu Cong ordered Liu Cang and Zhao Ran to cooperate with Liu Yao to attack Guanzhong. When the news came, the generals scattered, and Sima Mo had no choice but to open the city to surrender, but he was first humiliated by Zhao Ran and killed by Liu Cang.

Yin County, where Hu Yan served as the county magistrate, was seventy or eighty miles northeast of Chang'an, between Xinfeng and Bacheng, just on the road of Hu Kou's invasion. At that time, his three-year term expired, his performance was good, and he was waiting for the transfer, so he didn't have the intention of carrying Hu Jun at all, even if he had the courage, he had no strength, so he simply used this as an excuse to return to Chang'an City. Immediately saw the chaos in Chang'an City, Sima Mo was unable to control it, knowing that the general trend had gone, so he fled back to his hometown to settle down in Linjing......

Of course, now in front of Pei Gai, Hu Yan is inconvenient to make a mistake with himself, so he said vaguely that it was because he couldn't ask for help and it was difficult to defend it, so he abandoned his post and fled.

Pei Cai didn't hear the flaws in the other party's words, he just pinched his fingers and counted, Luoyang and Chang'an fell five years ago, and at that time, Hu Yan had been the county magistrate for three years. ”

Hu Yan replied yes, and then explained: "Yangxia Zhuangzi (that is, Hu Fen, Fengyang Xiazi, died as "Zhuang") is my uncle's ancestor, and since his death, Shilu is ...... absolute

Hu Fensheng had a son and a daughter, but the son died early, so when his daughter was later named a nobleman, he cried and said: "The old slave does not die, only the second son, the male enters the nine earths, and the women go above the nine heavens!" "When Hu Fen dies and the main branch is cut off, no one will be able to inherit the title of Yang Xiazi.

Hu Yan tactfully said that he was not because of the protection of his ancestors, so he could start an official and be different from Pei Cai. Then he said: "I am eighteen-year-old and middle-class, and at the age of twenty-two, I am a showman, and I am not allowed to go to Luoyang because of Hu Xiangfang, but I will ...... Chang'an."

Filial piety and talent, the Han Dynasty's inspection system, to the Jin Dynasty, to the nine products of the right way to elect officials, but the above two still retained. According to the example, the states and counties recommend filial piety and Xiucai, and they have to go to the capital to take the exam, basically the Son of Heaven himself will make the questions.

However, although Hu Yan was recommended as a talent on that day, because of the chaos in the world, the road was blocked, and he could not go to Luoyang, so he was forced to go to Chang'an to accept Sima Mo's exam. Soon passed the exam, and he couldn't be a lang, so he was appointed by Sima Mo as the yin county magistrate.

Pei should have been in the shadow of his father to enter the official career, he has never experienced this kind of exam, so he couldn't help but be curious, so he asked Hu Yan: "What is the question of the Nanyang Wang Kaoqing in the past?" Hu Yan replied: "When the king of Nanyang was not long in Guanzhong, he was not rich in age, and the epidemic was combined, which caused people to eat each other and thieves to rise one after another. I suggest taking the Zhongding bronze man and casting it as a kettle to ...... Yi Gu" As he spoke, he quietly raised his eyes to observe Pei Gai's expression.

Pei Gai couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart that you came up with this idea for Sima!

At that time, there was a great hunger in Guanzhong, and the treasury was empty, but many wealthy families hoarded grain and rice, and refused to supply it to the official market, so Sima Mo took out the bronze people of the Han Dynasty, as well as the heirloom Zhongding treasures, melted them and recast them into kettles, which were used to exchange rice, grain, and copper for precious metals in these years, and could be used for barter, but the problem was that you can't sell the treasures that the country only deserves to have to private individuals, right? If you cast it as something else, it will not be a violation.

However, although it was not in violation of the law, this move destroyed a lot of antiques, and Sima Mo was criticized by the people of the time for this, and some people even said that he was later killed by Hu Kou, which was the retribution for destroying the country's heavy weapons......

Hu Yan secretly observed Pei Gai's expression, wanting to see if this General Pei would be angry, whether he would just throw his sleeves and blast himself out. However, after Pei Gai was stunned at first, he just smiled: "Now Chang'an's grain and straw are not sufficient, but unfortunately Zhong Ding is melted by Qing's words, and this plan cannot be reused." ”

It is indeed a pity that those antiques and treasures were destroyed, but Pei Gai felt that no matter how precious the antiques were, no human life was important, and if the price of food could be stabilized because of this, so that some people could live a few more days, it would be a supreme merit. Besides, antiques are placed there just to look at, in fact, there is no value, and to systematically study them, you have to wait until after the Song Dynasty, and now I really can't regret it......

When Hu Yan heard this, he was deeply excited, and took the opportunity to say: "Today's Guanzhong is slightly better than in the past. First, Pei Gong expelled Hu Kou, and settled in Henan, there were no foreign police, and the people's hearts gradually calmed down; Second, if the people can be cultivated in peace and happiness, it will not be difficult to recover; Third, most of the old homes are dilapidated, there are no two or three out of ten, there are many wastelands, and there are few landlords and tenants...... If a person has been infected for a long time, his illness is temporary, although the body is extremely weak, if he is well recuperated, he can only become stronger day by day, and will not die. ”

To put it bluntly, he believes that the productivity of Guanzhong can be said to have bottomed out and rebounded, and there is hope for recovery.

Pei Cai couldn't help but feel interested in this person, so he immediately asked: "As Qing said, how should I govern Guanzhong?" ”

Hu Yan immediately replied: "I have three strategies, Pei Gong carefully thinks about one is to Fu Rong, the second is to settle the people, the third is to reclaim the people, and the fourth is to kill the soldiers." ”

"Furong" and "Anmin" are both easy to say, and in order to resume production as soon as possible, it is reasonable to reclaim land. Regarding the "four soldiers", Hu Yan explained: "Now Liu Yao has been driven away by Pei Gong, and Pingyang is also surrounded by three sides, and its momentum is declining. If we are in a hurry to chase the death and chase the north, the manpower and land resources in Guanzhong will be exhausted, and then Pingyang will be restored and Hu Kou will be destroyed, and there are still thieves in Hebei and Banu in Yizhou, and it is easy for them to take advantage of my fatigue and invade them. It is better to stick to the four stops, according to Guanzhong, Henan and slowly recover, so that Hu Koujin can not go deep and disturb, retreat the people's hearts are gradually dispersed, and wait for Jin Rong to be safe, after the treasury is full, and then with the power of thunder, in one fell swoop! ”
