Chapter 366: Politics
As expected, more than a month has passed since Guo Bin sacrificed Liu Tao in the southwest of Yangzhai County, but the court is still calm, and there is no news at all. Whether it was Liu Hong, the Son of Heaven, or the eunuchs who threw Liu Tao into prison, they all seemed to have not heard the news.
Although there was no movement in the court, this matter was spread in the Shilin. In all fairness, although Liu Tao has repeatedly written books, he is to the point and famous, but if he says that his prestige in Shilin is not half a star, not only is it far from the leader of the party at the beginning of the disaster of the party, and Chen Yu, who is now the only surviving fruit, but it is also difficult to reach Lu Zhi, Cai Yong and others.
But such a person who was not so famous was framed and imprisoned for opposing the eunuchs' use of power, and finally committed suicide to show his loyalty. This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that after his death, not only did his fellow villagers collect the body for him, but Guo Bin, the famous Yingchuan County Shou who was both civil and military, personally escorted his coffin back to the countryside for burial, and even built an ancestral hall outside Yangzhai County, the seat of Yingchuan County, to enjoy eternal admiration, which can be regarded as a legend.
For ordinary people, the word fame and fortune are only sought in life, and for scholars, sometimes fame is much more important than profit, and the eternal life is even more coveted by scholars. There are thirteen states and one hundred and five counties in the Han Dynasty, and there are really not many people who value scholars like Guo Bin, and there are even fewer county guards who can say like Guo Bin that "the life and death of the country are profitable, and they should not be avoided because of misfortune and fortune".
Even after 2,000 years, the characteristics of the Chinese who pay attention to regional origin have not changed, and their sense of identity with "fellow villagers" is among the best in the world. The ancient Chinese who worshiped their ancestors were extremely family-oriented, and at the same time had a strong sense of identity with their fellow villagers who grew up in a common area, and if they met during their travels, they were likely to help and support each other.
In ancient society, fellow villagers have always been an important part of personal connections, and it has always been the social atmosphere for fellow villagers to promote each other. For example, Zhu Jun and Sun Jian, when the Yellow Turban Rebellion first started, the imperial court worshiped Zhu Jun as the right middle general, and led the army to exterminate the Yellow Turban Army on the South Road together with Huangfu Song. At this time, Zhu Jun was considered to have made a fortune, so he recommended Sun Jian, who was known as the Jiangdong Tiger, to the imperial court as the Sima of the Zuojun, and the imperial court naturally did not disagree, and since then Sun Jian has been regarded as a leader. Although Zhu Jun and Sun Jian are not fellow villagers in terms of administrative division, their hometowns are very close to each other, but they can be regarded as fellow villagers in terms of geographical location.
However, although mutual support between fellow villagers is quite common, there are not many people who can do this with the respect of the county guard like Guo Bin. People are talking about Liu Tao's deeds, and more people are praising Guo Bin for being modest and cautious and courteous despite his high position, and they will discuss with envy the fact that he personally went north to welcome Liu Tao's coffin back to his hometown. In this way, Guo Bin accidentally became a popular figure among the Beijing teachers again, and the result was that his speech in front of the Martyrs' Shrine was copied by the scholar group with the Tai students as the main body.
It is no wonder that although the meaning of Guo Bin's words is not far-reaching, and the words are not precise enough, they are magnificent and have a great pattern, and they are sought after by young students, which is reasonable. It's just that the bigwigs in the court are silent about this matter, and even Cai Yong and Lu Zhi, who are good friends with Guo Bin, have not publicly expressed their attitude towards this matter.
However, Guo Bin, who was far away in Yangzhai, did not care much about the affairs in Beijing, but there was a change in Yingchuan County that made him overjoyed, one of the four chiefs of Yingchuan, one of the party leaders in the disaster of the party, the father of Dahonglu Chen Ji, Degao Wanglong, and the elder Chen Yu of the Chen family in Xu County, who was over 80 years old, actually wrote a letter by himself, so that his grandson Chen Qun personally sent it to the county guard in Yangzhai County to pay homage to Guo Bin.
In the letter, Chen Yu expressed his appreciation for Guo Bin's promotion of his fellow villagers, and spoke highly of Guo Bin's establishment of the ancestral hall to worship Liu Tao, and highly praised Guo Bin for defending the Han family and sparing no effort to appease the place.
Chen Yu did this, which Guo Bin did not expect, but happiness came too suddenly, which made him a little overwhelmed. Guo Bin made such a big show outside the Martyrs' Shrine before, one of the purposes was to befriend the party members and pull Chen Yu, who is the leader of the party, to his side. And as long as Chen Yu is recognized, the Chen family can be regarded as standing in their camp. At that time, the Yingyin Xun clan, the Changshe Zhong clan, and the Xu County Chen clan will stand on their side, so the entire Yingchuan County will be regarded as in their hands.
However, nine times out of ten, things are unsatisfactory in the world, the so-called plan is in people, success is in heaven, people set goals are one thing, whether they can achieve it, when they can achieve it, but it is not up to them to have the final say. Although Guo Bin also wanted to use Liu Tao's matter to win over the Chen family, in fact, he was fighting the idea of a protracted war. With such a big family, such a big event related to the future and destiny of the family, how can the change in its attitude be completed overnight?
If it is according to common sense, no matter what, we must communicate with each other, and when the time is ripe, Guo Bin will have to visit Chen Yu, the party leader in the famous book, and after reaching a tacit understanding on a major matter, it will be the exchange of high-level personnel. Thinking about it, based on Guo Bin's actions in Yingchuan County through a series of actions such as making good connections, joint development, and cooperative entrepreneurship, the increasingly close economic cooperation and integration process in Yingchuan County will make substantial progress in less than a year and a half.
In the original plan of Guo Bin and Xi Zhicai, the progress of things should be like this: the economic integration of Yingchuan County will promote political and even military integration, and gradually integrate the forces in Yingchuan County, so that it will gradually and completely fall under the leadership of Guo Bin. In this process, the attitude of Chen, Xun, and Zhong is very important, and only by firmly controlling these three families will other wealthy families in Yingchuan County give up their worries and follow Guo Bin with peace of mind. Governing the local area and leading troops to fight are completely different things, and if you can integrate Yingchuan County in one year, you must be regarded as Guo Bin shrewd and capable, and his means are superb.
But who would have thought that Chen Yu would be so upright, just taking the initiative to write a letter to Guo Bin, a younger generation, would be enough to shake Shilin if it was passed out, not to mention that Chen Qun, who was only seventeen years old but already had a small reputation, the undoubted third-generation head of the Chen family in Xu County, was put in Yangzhai County and handed over to Guo Bin for discipline, and this face was a little too big. Chen Yu is undoubtedly swearing to the outside world that Guo Bin's status in Yingchuan County, which has been fully recognized by the Chen family of Xu County, is clearly standing in line.
Later, Guo Bin and Xi Zhicai sat down and analyzed it carefully, but they had to admire Chen Yu's scheming and clever methods.
Compared with the Zhong family of Changshe and the Xun family of Yingyin, although the Chen family of Xu County and Guo Bin did cooperate, they were far away after all. Yingyin Xun had already hooked up with Guo Bin, who was still in the position of commander of Yangzhai County, before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and Xun Yu, the outstanding sons of the Xun family, and Guo Bin had already known each other in the capital. Later, when the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, the Yingyin Xun clan can be said to have taken refuge in Yangzhai and escaped the most tragic and crazy period of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and the Xun family's family and property were also well protected. This move not only greatly improved Xun Yu's status in the Xun clan, but also maintained the vitality of the Xun family. Therefore, the Xun family was the least affected by the Yellow Turban Rebellion among the three existing families in Yingchuan.
Let's talk about the Changshe Zhong clan, because Changshe City was the command center of the South Road Army in the Yellow Turban Rebellion. The Battle of Changshe, a strategic battle that had a great impact in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, was a landmark battle in which the imperial court shifted from a defensive position to a strategic counteroffensive. Tens of thousands of well-equipped officers and soldiers were besieged by more than 200,000 Yellow Turban troops in Changshe City, and neither side could do anything about it. For the Zhong family, although the industry outside the city is certainly not guaranteed, the grain, treasures, and belongings in the Zhong Mansion in the city have been extremely protected.
Even if he is the commander of the army of Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun South Road, he must have a good relationship with the Zhong family in order to defend Changshe City without losing it. Therefore, although the Zhong clan's losses were much greater than the Xun clan, after all, the strength was still there, and after the battle of Changshe was over, the industries outside the city could also operate stably.
Who would have thought that after the war, the old barracks of the Yellow Turban Army, which housed more than 200,000 Yellow Turban soldiers, were not abandoned, but were taken down by Guo Bin after the camp was vacated. Construction began on a large scale, and several of the original walls made of logs were demolished and replaced with a rapidly emerging masonry manor. There is no agricultural production in the manor, but warehouses, restaurants, teahouses, and a very large wharf has been built near the river. That's not all, at the same time, the construction of a new highway from Yangzhai County to Changshe City, through this "highway", Yangzhai and Changshe connection is deepening day by day.
Of course, because Xun Yu was running back and forth in the middle, things went extremely smoothly. This most outstanding young man of the Xun family is really extraordinary, not only did the work of the major wealthy families in Yingchuan in a very short period of time, so that they invested grain as shares, and jointly built and developed the three cities outside the Saiwai, but also played a great role in the construction of the manor outside the Changshe city. As the largest wealthy family in Changshe City, the construction of this manor has undoubtedly been helped by them, and the status of Changshe City as a satellite city of Yangzhai County has also made the connection between Zhong and Fulong Villa more and more close, and the degree of cooperation between the two sides is second only to the Xun family.
Therefore, in comparison, the cooperation between the Chen family of Xu County, which was originally the strongest and most influential in Yingchuan County, and Guo Bin of Fulong Villa, had to wait, which to some extent inadvertently formed the phenomenon of the Chen family being politically isolated by the major wealthy families in Yingchuan. Thinking about it, the Chen family has been waiting for a suitable opportunity to strengthen cooperation with Fulong Villa, because if they rush to the past, they will appear to be not reserved enough, and it will be difficult to get the corresponding respect. Until now, at the critical moment when Guo Bin continued to support and solidarity, Chen Yu did not hesitate to throw an olive branch and sent Chen Qun as well, undoubtedly demonstrating his determination to cooperate in an all-round way.
Since Chen Yu has shown his intention to cooperate in an all-round way, Guo Bin is just to set up a positive example and arrange a good future for Chen Qun, so that everyone in Yingchuan County and even the whole world can see it. Since then, the cooperation between the Chen family in Xu County and Fulong Villa is bound to be closer, and the Chen family has officially boarded Guo Bin's ship through this incident. This is Chen Yu's means, upright, upright, and not allowed to be opposed, it is a real conspiracy.
Sometimes politics is like this, the two sides don't need to meet, they don't need to talk, and one action completes a mutually beneficial deal. Of course, Chen Yu is modest and cautious, and Guo Bin can't take it big. Personally going to Xu County to visit his old man's home is also the proper meaning of the question.
