Ups and downs (No. 1)

The reason why Dou Jiande worked tirelessly to bring all the virtuous people with him when he inspected the place was to use the reality of Ping'en and other places to teach the so-called "celebrities" a lesson, so that they could know that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky. Even if these people refused to cooperate, Dou Jiajun was still able to govern the place in an orderly manner. It will not become more and more chaotic and lose the will of the people.

In other words, he wants people to understand. At present, he needs the family clan to a far lesser extent than the family clan needs him. Even if he kills the rich and scholars like Gao Shida, the former chief of Hebei Lvlin Road, the momentum of Dou Jiajun's rise is still unstoppable. And if the family and scholars don't seize the last opportunity to catch the high-running carriage of the Dou family, I am afraid that there will not be such a good opportunity in the future. The positions of the shogunate of King Changle are very limited, and the number of local officials is also very limited, and the virtuous and famous people are unwilling to do it, so Prince Dou can naturally find someone who is willing to do it. It's a big deal to send all the cronies under his command who don't read much, have average ability and reputation, but are loyal, to Ping'enlai, and under Cheng Mingzhen's account for half a year. After these people have completed their studies, they will be able to overcome the shortage of local shepherds.

At that time, even if King Changle is still as polite to celebrities and virtuous people as he is now, it will be difficult to guarantee the interests of the family behind the celebrities. There is a saying that the current official is not as good as the current management, there are really officials who do it and wear a few pairs of small shoes for the big families under their rule, can Wang Ye Dou still blame his loyal ministers for a few celebrities who are used as decorations?

The above truth does not need to be explained, a little bit, and the two parties immediately understand it in their hearts. Therefore, the next journey was not unpleasant, and everywhere he went, he did not wait for Dou Jiande to set an example. There have been sages and celebrities rushing to communicate with the officials and people in Tuntian. From the time of loan repayment, to the scope of government support. From the scale of each tuntian point at the beginning, to the final tax payment ability of each tunzi, there are all kinds of things, lest you miss something.

He also said that since the virtuous people can make a name for themselves in the local area, their understanding and learning ability are indeed far from ordinary people. After passing through several Tuntian spots with different exhibition times in a row, they immediately ate all the Tuntian decrees in Ping'en County. Not only that, in the Tuntian norms that Cheng Mingzhen and others have figured out, there are many government decrees and implementation methods that are very negligent, and it is entirely dependent on the proper use of people and the people who know how to be grateful, so as to avoid borrowing without repayment, and punishing the lazy and lazy people. The celebrities combined the records of the military tun and the mintun left since the Wei and Jin dynasties, as well as the experience of handling various government affairs, and soon put forward appropriate suggestions, blocking the possibility that after the expansion of the scale of Tuntian, there was a possibility that Diao Min would take the opportunity to exploit the loopholes.

Now that the goal of taming the "talents" has been achieved, Dou Jiande does not want to delay too long on Cheng Mingzhen's territory. After patiently looking at four or five more tuntians, he found an appropriate opportunity, and suggested with a smile: "Watching others plant trees and eat peaches, it is better to go home and dig a pit yourself." At present, there are barren places in Hebei counties, and everyone can take advantage of the arrival of spring to learn while doing. If there is any trouble, write a letter directly to Cheng Junshou and ask him for advice, presumably he will not hide his secrets from everyone! ”

"Hehe, hearing the lord say this, the ministers are really a little itchy! It's just that I don't know if Chitose can allocate one or two small tunzi and let Wechen try what he learned on this trip? Hao Mengzheng was the most clever, and immediately stepped forward to ask for help.

At this time, the one who refuses to come down with the shelf again is a fool. Yang Deqing, Liu Wenshan and others also took a few steps forward and echoed loudly, "Weichen is not talented, I am willing to be a field official, dedicated to Chitose, and seek happiness for the people!" ”

"No hurry, no hurry!" Dou Jiande's heart is so happy, it is more transparent than drinking rock sugar water on the dog days, "With such talents, how can you just be a local official?" Under the rule of our Dou Jiajun, there are now five counties and more than 30 counties, and the counties are all short of people to govern. In the future, our Dou family's army will get bigger and bigger, and you will have to govern the county, the road, and then the country. As long as you are willing to do things wholeheartedly, and peace will be restored in the future, you will not forget your assistance! ”

"The lord is benevolent and righteous, and the ministers are unforgettable!" No matter what the sages thought in their hearts, at least at this moment they all lowered their arrogant heads.

There is no way, the Great Sui Dynasty is like an old lady in the twilight, seeing that every day is not as good as the day. At this time, it is purely unwise to serve the imperial court; Li Mi in the south claimed to have fulfilled the mandate of heaven, but he killed Zhai Rang, who single-handedly supported him to the throne. Who in this world can give Li Mi more credit than Zhai Rang? Since he knew that he was not as good as Zhai Rang, he still forced himself to make do with Li Mi, isn't that boring?

Further south, Du Fuwei's strength is not as good as Dou Jiande. Zhu Can is an ogre. Li Yuan in the west is huge, but there is Qu Tutong in front and Liu Wuzhou in the back, and the future is not clear for a while. Abandon Li Yuan, and then count down to Li Zhongjian and Luo Yi in the north. But Li Zhong insisted that he was too upright, and when the water was clear, there were no fish. Luo Yi is arrogant and uninhibited, and whoever sends it to the door may not be welcomed.

After careful calculation, Dou Jiande has become the best choice. Not to mention that he is generous, knowing that everyone is deliberately coping with it, he is still respectful. With the peaceful scene of Xiangguo County under his rule, he faintly revealed a bit of imperial capital!

The big family that can survive the hundreds of years of turmoil in the two Jin Dynasty and the Northern and Southern Dynasties naturally has its extraordinary ability to adapt. At the moment, all the sages and celebrities stepped forward one after another, taking the opportunity to discuss with Dou Jiande how to govern the place and show their loyalty. Cheng Mingzhen doesn't like this set very much, but as a minister, he can't say nothing at all. After everyone's sycophants subsided slightly, he walked out from behind the crowd and bowed down: "These days, the minister feels that he has benefited a lot. Why don't the lord stay a few more days, so that the ministers can receive more allocation? ”

"No, no, there's still a big mess on the other side of the river. Besides, so many people have to eat and live with you, and after a long time, the local government will definitely not be able to stand it! Dou Jiande shook his head with a smile, his expression was like an old man who was full of relief when he saw that his son and nephew were promising. You have done a good job, and you deserve to be the first minister to control chaos under the lonely command. This year, Xiangguo County was first built, and I dare not bother you more. When the local situation is completely stabilized, all affairs are on the right track. You still have to come to Lonely, be a strategist or a general, Lone as you like! ”

"How can the minister dare to let the lord be so serious!" When Cheng Mingzhen heard this, he hurriedly bowed down and excused himself. He now believes that Dou Jiande has no ill will towards him, but he always feels more down-to-earth in his heart when he guards his roots. Besides, at present, more and more talented people and sages around Dou Jiande are gathered, and if they really enter the court, they may not be able to show any skills, and their lives will not be as casual as in Xiangguo County.

Dou Jiande smiled, and the light in his eyes flashed, "Don't worry, don't worry, that's all in the future." Now Xiangguo County is indeed inseparable from you. In the future, even if you are lonely, the affairs of Xiangguo County will have to be taken care of by you, others are not familiar with this place, and if you come rashly, you may not be able to do things safely! ”

"The lord is ashamed to kill his ministers!" Cheng Mingzhen bowed down to thank him, with a sincere expression of fear on his face.

The conversation between the two was listened to by all the Wenchen word for word, and it aroused a look of envy. Everyone knows in their hearts that Xiangguo County's position under the rule of the Dou family army is very unique. As long as Dou Jiande is under his banner in various places, he will not interfere in the election of officials, the distribution of taxes, and local government decrees. And Dou Jiande's sentence "Even if you are lonely, you will be in charge of the affairs of Xiangguo County", which is equivalent to a disguised promise to give Cheng Mingzhen the power to crack the soil and seal the grass. When you enter the court, you can be the prime minister, and after you go out of the court, you can lead a place and a country! Counting the ancient Zhou Gong and Zhao Gong, the status is nothing more than that!

If you are grateful, Dou Jiande doesn't need to listen too much. smiled and continued to ask, "Why didn't I see Hao Wu this time?" Is he not idle, and where has he gone to bend his bow and hunt? “

Cheng Mingzhen thought about it and responded with a smile, "Fifth Uncle has not been in good shape in the past two years, and when it comes to winter, he coughs nonstop. Uncle Sun Liu said that the cold was in his lungs, and suggested that he should not keep guarding the puddles all the time, and go to the south to find a dry and warm place to recuperate. Therefore, he went to Handan this winter to avoid the cold at the turn of winter and spring, and only after the weather is warm can he turn back to Pingenlai! ”

"Ha, he is still more and more delicate!" After listening to this, Dou Jiande felt ridiculous. "He Hao Laodao walked shirtless back then, and he didn't freeze to death in the blizzard, but now it's good, a little cold can be avoided for thousands of miles!"

"If the prince must see him, please stay in Ping'en County for a few more days, and the minister will send someone to take the fifth uncle back!" Cheng Mingzhen accompanied the smiling face and said in a low voice.

"No need! Hey, this Hao Wu is really unproductive, he will be old so soon! Dou Jiande shook his head with a smile, feeling sorry for Hao Laodao's weakness. Back then, Lone used to drill ice holes in the giant deer with him in the winter to catch fish, and he could squat in the ice water for half an hour in one breath. It's only been a few years, and he didn't wait for the lonely head to see him, but he didn't use it first! ”

"The thousand-year-old dragon walks in a tiger step, and the body bones are naturally extraordinary!" Cheng Mingzhen smiled and patted Dou Jiande's ass. Regarding Hao Laodao's situation, he really didn't lie. Since the beginning of the previous year, not only Hao Laodao, Du Scar, Sun Huozi, these giants and elders of Juluze, have also been worse day by day. According to Sun Huozi's own analysis, it may be because he has lived in the field for a long time, and the moisture has penetrated into the internal organs. If you want to get rid of the disease in a short period of time, it is basically impossible, and the best way is to find a dry and warm village to recuperate for a long time.

"What a dragon and a tiger, you are really good at talking!" Dou Jiande shook his head, as if he remembered the past years, his face was full of depth, "I think back then, I was in charge with Sun Da, Zhang Jin, and Hao Wu were all good brothers who knocked their heads to the ground. Hey, who would have thought that it would be made later. By the way, the grave of Master Sun is still in Juluze, can you arrange it and let me add a handful of soil to his grave! Hey, he was forced to fall into the grass when he was helpless, and he was bent on clearing his name and living a stable life again. If he was still alive, he would not know how happy he would be to see us like this. ”

As he spoke, his eyes became moist, and tears were faintly visible. Cheng Mingzhen thought for a while and persuaded in a low voice: "The lord doesn't have to be sad, the minister will send someone to explore the way in Juluze." After three to five days, I will definitely find the route to Irisawa again. ”

"Trouble or not? Is three or five days enough? Dou Jiande's spirits lifted slightly, looked at Cheng Mingzhen's eyes, and asked expectantly.

"The lord must know the situation there. Water levels change throughout the year. Since he burned down the Juyi Hall last year, the minister hasn't sent anyone in for a long time. The road has to be refound, so I don't know how long it will take! But don't be anxious, the lord will send more capable manpower, and in five or six days at most, he will definitely be able to clear a passage! ”

Dou Jiande listened, and the expression on his face was so disappointed. "Forget it, next time, when I have more time next time, I'll go and worship my old brother!" As he spoke, he turned his face to the northwest where the clouds had risen, and his eyes showed infinite nostalgia. "Right now, you're busy with official business, and you can't mislead your business because of personal relationships."

"You can speed up the cleanup as much as possible!" Cheng Mingzhen continued to stay, "Maybe it won't take five days, but it's possible in three or two days!" ”

"Forget it, you're short on manpower here!" Dou Jiande smiled and very consciously restrained his private emotions. "My old brother has a spirit in the sky, and I guess I won't blame me for not going to see him!"

These words fell on the ears of the sages who accompanied them, and naturally they were indispensable to the emotion of the monarch and the minister. No one saw it clearly, Dou Jiande and Cheng Mingzhen had already tumbled over, and secretly didn't know how many tricks they had dismantled!

In fact, the reason why Dou Jiande cares so much about Hao Laodao is not because of the friendship between the two. It's because this person's martial arts and cavalry archery are first-class, if Cheng Mingzhen tries to reorganize the Zhaozhou army, this person will be the best choice for the head of the cavalry archery sect.

If Cheng Mingzhen keeps Hao Laodao by his side, it means that Cheng Mingzhen has not given up his efforts to restore the Yuzhou Army. Dou Jiande naturally has to take more precautions in the future. And Hao Laodao is so sick that he can't climb on horseback, which means that it is more difficult for the Zhaozhou battalion to recover to its heyday, no matter how much power Dou Jiande gives Cheng Mingzhen, he can give it back, and he can take it back at any time, and he doesn't have to be careful about turning elbows and armpits.

As for Juluze, what Dou Jiande wanted to go in to see was not only Sun Anzu's mausoleum. Because of the complex terrain and unstable hydrology, it was often used as the last shelter by the heroes of the green forest to escape from the pursuit of the officers and soldiers. If Cheng Mingzhen really burned down the camp in Zedi with a fire as rumored and abandoned it, it means that the Chaozhou camp completely gave up the idea of cutting the land for itself. If Cheng Mingzhen wants to enter Ze and can enter at any time, it means that this son is still secretly operating a retreat, and he has to guard against it.

After many attempts before and after, Dou Jiande got a satisfactory answer. The heart is good, and the more witty the words are when you speak. I saw that he would quote scriptures and classics with Hao Mengzheng, Yang Deqing and others for a while, and talk about the rhetoric. After a while, he pointed to Xiong Kuohai, Wu Tianxi and others, and said a few vulgar slang words, which was exhaustive, which made everyone feel like a spring breeze.

chatted until the palm lamp was very ten, Dou Jiande was still unfinished, and ordered everyone to disperse at will, leaving Cheng Mingzhen alone to talk with candles. "You've been married to Juanzi for a few years, why didn't you come out of anything?" After all the idlers dispersed, he poured a cup of tea for himself and Cheng Mingzhen and asked cordially.

"Hey! Shame on you! Cheng Mingzhen didn't know what Dou Jiande meant by asking, so he had to smile and shake his head. I don't know what's going on? Uncle Sun has prescribed a lot of medicines, but it has not worked! ”

"It stands to reason that this is your family affair, and you shouldn't meddle in it. But you and Juanzi are both Lone's juniors, so Dou Jiande smiled and leaned forward slowly, "So Lone just ask." If you need to call a famous doctor, just ask. Even if Lone kidnaps the ticket, he will be tied up for you! ”

"Thank you for your concern!" Cheng Ming shook his head for a moment, and hurriedly smiled and arched his hand, "To be honest, among the famous doctors I have seen, none of them are stronger than Sixth Uncle Sun." And the sixth uncle said that this matter is completely left to fate, and it is useless to be in a hurry! ”

"That's right!" Dou Jiande smiled and nodded, "With Lao Sun's big hand, it is true that he can't find another famous doctor." However," he thought about it, and said earnestly, "There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest." Why don't you marry a concubine again? Is Juanzi not allowed? Or you didn't encounter anything yourself! ”

"The minister didn't care about it for a while. Humble Jing didn't say anything! Cheng Mingzhen was stunned again, and immediately spoke out to defend Du Juan.

"That's good. That's good. I don't think Juanzi is that jealous woman! "Dou Jiande is like a woman with a long tongue, entangled in one thing." If she's jealous, I'm going to talk about her. Since it's not, you might as well look around. If I can't find it, I can ask Mr. Song to help me find it! ”

'You're waiting for me here!' Cheng Mingzhen pondered for a while, and his heart instantly brightened. His face was slightly red, and he thanked him, "Thank you for your care." But the minister is a vulgar person, and he is content to marry Juanzi. Don't dare to wronged others to be small! ”

"Then what grievances are not wronged, you are a hero in the world, no matter who you marry, can you still humiliate her?" Seeing Cheng Mingzhen's helpless appearance, Dou Jiande laughed. "If you are reluctant, let the newcomer be a flat wife. The two ends are big, and naturally no one can say anything! ”

"The five fingers are still long and short, how can there be a flat wife in the world? After a long time, there will inevitably be a gap in idleness! Cheng Mingzhen shook his head, and he couldn't wait to completely block Dou Jiande's thoughts with a sentence, "Besides, have you ever heard the words 'poor and lowly friends must not be forgotten, and the wife of the bad chaff will not go to court'?" ”

Hearing that Cheng Mingzhen suddenly dropped his schoolbag, Dou Jiande was also stunned. Fortunately, he reads a lot and dabbles in a lot of things. Soon understood what Cheng Mingzhen wanted to express, smiled, and shook his head in response. "Qing wants to emulate Song Hong of the Han Dynasty, and Lone naturally does Guangwu. I won't mention this, when Lone never said it! Hehe, it's a blessing for Juan Zi to meet you! ”

"The grace of the lord and the princess, the minister will never dare to forget!" Cheng Mingzhen stood up and said.

"Haha, haha!" Dou Jiande held his arm and laughed heartily. The two monarchs and ministers looked at each other, and there was an indescribable relief in their hearts.

Note: Han Guangwu's sister took a fancy to Song Hong and wanted to marry him. Guangwu made an appointment with Song Hong and asked him, "Rich and easy to make friends, expensive and easy to wife, what about people?" Song Hong thanked the husband and wife for their kindness, and replied: The ministers should not forget the friends of the poor and the lowly, and the wives of the chaff will not go to court. Guangwu had no choice but to persuade his sister to give up the idea of marrying Song Hong.

In the book, Cheng Mingzhen guessed Dou Jiande's meaning, so he quoted Song Hong's original words. Dou Jiande has read a lot and knows this allusion between Guangwu and Song Hong. So he immediately gave up his plan to give Cheng Mingzhen a matchmaker. Therefore, Cheng Mingzhen was grateful, and Dou Jiande also expressed his appreciation to his subordinates.
