Chapter 12: Trolls

Pei should ask Tao Kan how he planned to start and govern the country of Pi, and Tao Kan replied: "Make the people timely." *With* Dream *Small* Say .lā" Pei Cai smiled: "This is also a cliché, can you be more specific?" ”

Tao Kan raised his eyes, glanced at Pei Gai slightly, and then said slowly: "The people have nothing to desire, but they are just full of warmth." Therefore political affairs must not be cumbersome, so that the people are at a loss, and labor must not be taken lightly, so that the people are exhausted. It is necessary to supervise the cultivation of agriculture and mulberry, so that the army and the people can be diligent in the crops, and the natural family will give people enough. The government should store more rice and grain when the autumn is ripe, and if there is a famine, it will be sold at a reduced price, and the people will have no worries about food and clothing all year round, and naturally their hearts will be directed to the official family, and then they can guide it, so that they can know the etiquette ......"

"What if thieves sow chaos or if the enemy is coming?"

"If there is a literary matter, you should be armed. There is no need for many soldiers, they must be in the elite, and they can also be trained in the slack time. If the people have property and food and clothing, they will naturally not become thieves. If the enemy army attacked, it would go against the dangerous place and make it impossible to enter the country, and the people were afraid that their food and clothing would be robbed by the enemy, so they were naturally happy to lose rice and grain, and even dared to serve in the army. As far as the current situation is concerned, there are no strong enemies around Xiapi Kingdom, and there are a few rogues, and Kan does not take it to heart, but it can be accumulated for two or three years, and it can be worry-free. ”

Speaking of this, Tao Kan turned his head to look at Xiong Yuan: "However, in the territory of Xiaowen's Pengcheng Kingdom, there are copper and iron benefits, and I am afraid that there are thieves who covet it, so you should station a soldier and horse there to protect it." ”

Pei should glance at Xiong Yuan, what does that mean: What do you listen to what people say? Although there are not too many new goods, after all, the content is rich and clear, which is like you, just a sentence "should make the people know etiquette", which is simply a rotten saying.

His first impression of Xiong Yuan and Xiong Xiaowen was very bad, and he always felt that this was a waste bureaucrat who was a master with low eyes, who could only talk about big things but didn't do practical things, maybe he was still a troll. I don't know if he sprayed the Wang family, the Yu family, or the Diao family, or the Liu family in Jiangdong, so he was sent to Jiangbei, or is Jiankang Chi small and can't accommodate him, the big king?

Obviously, they threw Tao Kan over because that guy might threaten the interests of overseas Chinese, and put it in Jiangbei, just like the original history of throwing it to Guangzhou, no different from distribution. And as for throwing the bear away, it must not be the same reason......

But it doesn't matter, anyway, he is going to Peng Chengguo to take office, and he stays in Huaiyin, and from then on there are only official correspondence, and he may not have the opportunity to meet each other for a year. As Tao Kan said, Pengcheng has the benefits of copper and iron, which are extremely precious, and they will definitely be coveted, Pei Gai has already sent Liu Yetang to lead the "Lifeng Battalion" to garrison nearby, and once he encounters the police, he can also instantly gather three or four thousand local armed forces. With such a force of soldiers and horses near Xuzhou City, can Xiong Yuan still do anything? It's hard to mess things up.

However, he pondered, and later wrote to Pei Shi, asking her to investigate the origin of this Xiong Xiaowen, and why did he send this person to take up the post of Pengcheng's internal history?

Let's say that after listening to Tao Kan's "governance speech", Pei Cai asked: "I know that Tao Jun is a general, repeatedly breaking thieves and bandits, and Jiangzuo is invincible, but I don't know if Tao Jun has ever managed civil affairs in the past?" "It seems that according to historical records, Tao Kan was later in Jingzhou, and he was governed by the road and the night, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, but I don't know if it was practiced later, or if he has this ability now?

Tao Kan nodded: "I once served as Wugang Ling and Jiangxia Taishou, but I have been in office for less than a year." ”

"Okay," Pei Gai nodded, "then I will entrust the Xia Pi Kingdom to Tao Jun for three years, Tao Jun must not only provide the people with food and clothing and know etiquette, but also train a strong army to come out in order to garrison Xu Fang, and even go north to the Central Plains - is it possible?" ”

Tao Kan sighed softly: "I'll do my best." ”

Pei Gai asked Xiong Yuan again: "How is Xiong Xiang, have you ever dealt with civil affairs before?" ”

Xiong Xiaowen replied: "He was the chief secretary of Yuzhang and Gong Cao, and later led Wuchang Taishou, but he failed to take office. ”

The corners of Pei Gai's mouth twitched, and he smiled slightly: "Then I'll wait and see, how Xiong Xiang makes the people of Pengcheng know the etiquette." ”

——————————

In a sense, Pei Shi, the princess of the East China Sea, was the intelligence leader that Pei should have stayed in Jiangdong - although she was not very competent - she used her noble status to naturally have access to every member of the upper class society in Jiankang City, whether it was Beiling or Nan Raccoon Dog. However, Pei's daily contact is naturally with the noble women of various families, so the information she passed on to Pei Gai involved a lot of things related to the inner curtain, the Zhang family and the Li family, and to be honest, the value is not high.

No way, after all, there is no formal training—anyway, there are no intelligence subjects these days—and it's remarkable that a woman with a deep girl can do it to this extent.

But as long as Pei Gai clearly specifies the content to be investigated, the information that Pei can give is quite detailed. For example, this time, just half a month later, the reply letter was sent to Huaiyin, and the letter clearly listed Xiong Yuan's resume - but only for three generations, because this Xiong Xiaowen was not even a scholar three generations ago......

It is really the magical origin of the house sparrow jumping on the branch and becoming a phoenix, which is even more wonderful than the former Han Dynasty Gongsun Hong's struggle from a pig herding baby to the prime minister, and there is probably only Shi Le, who has gone from a slave to a general, can be compared with it.

Xiong Yuan's grandfather's name was Xiong Qiao, who was originally just a slave in Shi Chong's family, but it is said that he is knowledgeable and courteous, and he also has an honest and upright personality - I really don't know how the Shi family could have such a number one slave - but he was seen by Pan Yue once, and he was very surprised and admired, and persuaded Shi Chong to release him as a commoner. Xiong Qiao returned to his hometown in Nanchang, after all, he came out of a big family, and the waist pole must be harder than the land in the countryside, and he didn't know how to be among the ranks of scholars.

When his grandson Xiong Yuan grew up, because of his high reputation in his hometown, he was called by the county as Gong Cao. Xiong Yuan didn't want to go at first, but the county commander forced him to put on a deep coat, put on a scarf, and escorted him to kowtow to himself, so he was dragged out of the mountain. Then after only serving for more than ten days, Xiong Yuan was recommended to the county as a literary scholar - it can be seen that this person's literary talent should be good.

However, Xiong Yuan still refused to go, saying: "Say goodbye to the big and not the small." "You might as well let me stay in the county. The county guard inspected it and felt that this person was quite capable, and even promoted him as filial piety.

A few years later, the county guard was ordered to go to the west to crusade against Diqiang, and asked Xiong Yuan to follow, Xiong Yuan said that I didn't know how to fight, and refused to obey the order, but I didn't come back until I sent the county guard to Longyou. Later, the new county guard Xia Jing appointed him to do gongcao again, and when Xia Jing left office, Xiong Yuan sent him back to his hometown to Huiji before returning to his hometown - it seems that he is a very affectionate person. But maybe it's just a superficial effort, just to raise hope.

Since then, Xiong Yuan has risen all the way, has been the state master, don't drive, and has been promoted as a showman. When Hua Zhi was the assassin of Jiangzhou, he even appointed him as the Taishou of Wuchang and the general of Ningyuan, and thus entered the ranks of high-ranking officials. But Hua Yi was later pacified, and it is said that the one who cut off his head was the Wei Zhan Wei Daoshu that Pei Gai was familiar with - the brother of the calligrapher Mrs. Wei and the cousin of the beautiful man Wei Yu - Xiong Yuan didn't know what role he played in it, and he escaped without being implicated.

Then not long before that, Sima Rui took office as Prime Minister Zuo, and ordered Xiong Yuan to be recruited into the curtain and made the main book. Pei Cai didn't guess correctly, Xiong Xiaowen really didn't spray the person in power with the surname Wang Yu, but sprayed Sima Rui in front of him, so he was driven to Jiangbei......

The letter also attached Xiong Yuan's performance of Sima Rui, and I don't know how Pei got it. Pei should open it up and read it, I damn it, it's really a brilliant troll!

It turned out that not long ago, news reached Jiangdong, saying that after Liu Yao burned Luoyang, he also sent troops to excavate the mausoleum of Sima Yan, Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty. Sima Rui naturally cried bitterly when he heard the news, but Xiong Yuan said that the news may not be true, are you crying now? You should temporarily sign a Henan Yin and send him to Zhongzhou to investigate the matter, if the news is true, it will not be too late to cry when the time comes. If it was just these few words, Xiong Yuan said next:

"That is, it is advisable to go to Luo, repair the garden mausoleum, and get rid of the rebels. In the past, the Song Dynasty was fearless, and King Zhuang rose up, chasing each other in clothes, and the army became under the Song City. Besides, this is a great shame of humiliation, the day of the courtier's gallop! The husband repairs the garden mausoleum, and the filial piety is also; Rebel and obedient; Save the community, and the righteousness is also; Compassion for the bereaved Li, the most benevolent. If you cultivate these four paths, the world will respond, and you will not be convinced. In the past, Xiang Yu killed Emperor Yi as a crime, Han Zu cried for righteousness, and Liu Xiang survived in one fell swoop. A pack of thieves and wolves, weaker than ever; The wickedness is so great that it is heavier than the hills. The Great Jin Dynasty was ordered and did not change it; Zhaoshu groaned, and Side was below. Today, the heart of the world, the people of Pixiu, the front of the ring, the army is coming, the majesty is impressive, the sound is vibrating the wilderness, then the love of the righteous people of the West Tu, and the hope of extending the neck of the sea. ”

Roughly speaking, troops should be sent to the north immediately, repair the garden, and exterminate the rebels. The restoration of the garden can demonstrate filial piety, the extermination of the rebel thief can conform to the will of heaven, the rescue of the community is a righteous act, and the compassion of the people is a benevolent thing. As long as you do these four, the world will naturally respond, and all will obey - please hurry up and send troops, don't chill the heart of the Central Plains army!

Sima Rui immediately replied, who wouldn't say empty vernacular, now that the turmoil in Jing and Hunan states is still unsettled, where do I have troops for the Northern Expedition? Yu Liang took the opportunity to suggest, saying that since Master Xiong wanted the Northern Expedition so much, it was better to send him to Jiangbei to take up a post......

Pei Gai held Pei's handwritten transcription of Xiong Xiaowen's recital, read it three times, and felt that this person really had a wonderful pen, you see how skillful this pair of battles can be, the meaning of the text is layered up, and it is really magnificent. It's just a pity, it's not sprayed hard enough.

In his previous life, he believed that the first big spray in ancient and modern times was Hu Quan, a famous minister in the Song Dynasty, Hu Bangheng, Hu Quan once wrote a "Wuwu Shang Gaozong Feng Shi", opposing the Jin people to call the ministers peace, and asked Zhao Gou to send troops to the Northern Expedition to restore the Central Plains. But you heard how people sprayed Hu Quan:

"Today, I induce the captives for no reason, in the name of the edict to Jiangnan, I want to be a concubine, and I want Liu Yu!"

"Those who are in the world are the world of their ancestors, and the position of their majesty is also the position of their ancestors. But why take the world of the ancestors as the world of the golden captive, and use the position of the ancestor as the position of the vassal of the golden capsule?! ”

"A dignified country, worshipping dogs and pigs, once a child is ashamed, and His Majesty endures evil?"

"Your Majesty has the assets of Yao and Shun, (Qin) Hui can't make Your Majesty like Tang and Yu, and wants to guide Your Majesty to Shi Jin!"

"The ministers are subordinate to the cardinal, and the righteousness is not to share the sky with the juniper. The heart of the district, willing to cut off the heads of three people (Qin Hui, Sun Jin, Wang Lun), and the pole of Gao Street. Then the envoy was detained, blamed for being rude, and Xu Xing questioned the guilty division, and the soldiers of the three armies were angry without a fight. Otherwise, if the minister goes to the East China Sea and dies, he would rather deal with the small court to survive the evil! ”

To put it bluntly, just one sentence: kill Qin Hui, stop the peace discussion, and seek restoration, otherwise Your Majesty, you are Shi Jingjiao, and this Lin'an government is just a "small court"!

Compared with the two, Xiong Yuan's recital is not enough. But you can't ask too much, after all, Sima Rui didn't make a move to claim to Hu Lu, and Wang Dao was not as shameless as Qin Hui. It is said that during the Southern Song Dynasty, many scholars pointed out that we have now lost the Central Plains and are forced to retreat to the south of the Yangtze River, which is a helpless move, but you at least have to learn from the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Eastern Jin Dynasty has never bowed its head to the Hu people!

Although comparing the Eastern Jin Dynasty to the Southern Song Dynasty is fifty steps and a hundred steps, after all, although Wang Dao and others are timid, their bones are still hard, and they are not the same as his cousin Wang Yan, let alone Qin Hui and Zhao Gou. Therefore, although Xiong Yuan's recital cannot be as eternal, it can be regarded as commendable in this year.

Pei should have seen it, although Tao Kan is also a famous general in the world, his ** recovery of the Central Plains is really not as strong as Zu Li, especially when he was demoted to Jiangbei this time, then he was discouraged and perfunctory. In fact, compared with Jiangbei, Jiangnan is like Peng Zezhi compared to the ocean, the pond is small and difficult to accommodate big fish, and only in the sea can the whale swallowing the boat be born. Tao Kan is in Jiangzuo, but he is just a country, if he is willing to fight in the Central Plains, he may have a chance to pacify the world - after all, he will live much longer than his ancestors.

Compared with Tao Kan, although Xiong Xiaowen's ability is a little worse, his ambition is enough to succeed his ancestors, which is commendable - he is simply an outlier among the southerners, so he was driven to Jiangbei. Is it because his ancestors were Shi Chong's slaves, so his feelings for the Central Plains are deeper than ordinary raccoon dogs?

From this point of view, Xiong Yuan cannot be regarded as a keyboard warrior, at least people dare to show their faces and dare to come to Jiangbei, instead of directly resigning their appointment like Zhou Za. Tao Kan was just defeated and guilty, so he didn't dare not come; Xiong Yuan can theoretically not be killed, it's a big deal to resign and return to his hometown, since he has done 2,000 stones before, and he also has a certain reputation, then he still has the opportunity to be reinstated after a few years of dormancy - it is also a common practice in these years.

He dared to come, and as soon as they met, he said that he would recover, and he wanted to recommend him to follow Zu Li, and this courage alone was enough for his admiration. Pei should always think that if the ability is insufficient, he can exercise, if his ambition is not high, and he follows the rules, then the person will be completely wasted - Xiong Yuan is not wasted, you can observe for a period of time to see if you can really use it for yourself, whether it is really a talent that can be created.
