Guo Bin returned from Huangfu Songshuai's tent and came to the command post of the Yueqi battalion, only to see Xi Zhicai analyzing information with Guo Jia. The Yellow Turban Rebellion has subsided, and the focus of the intelligence department of Fulong Villa has shifted from collecting military intelligence to collecting information within the officialdom.

In addition, a number of wealthy families in Yangzhai County are currently negotiating with the clans in Yingchuan County. Led by Xun Yu, all the wealthy families responded together, collected and sorted out the economic information, folk customs, geographical environment and other information in various places, and compiled them into a book, which was distributed within the major wealthy families in Yingchuan County to achieve the purpose of information sharing.

Don't doubt that the wealthy people of Yingchuan County can have such great energy, Yingchuan has always been a large county in history, and since its establishment, it has been one of the most populous and prosperous places outside of Beijing. Especially after Luoyang, the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it highlights the importance of its location. In this era of extremely inconvenient transportation, the importance of Yingchuan is like that of Tianjin in later generations, and most people who want to enter Beijing have to go to Yingchuan.

And the local wealthy families in Yingchuan are not just farming. It can be said that at this time, the wealthy family shouted that agriculture and business were suppressed, and at the same time guided their family to carry out all-round management. Farming is fundamental, in this era, there are naturally very few families who live by buying grain, and the so-called food in their hands is not panicked. It is the food eaten by the clan that lives in Kyoshi, and most of the food is grown in their own fields, except for rice. Although it is not cultivated by hand, after all, it is safe to eat, right?

However, at this time, the economic form of the manor, which was based on agriculture and engaged in commerce and trade, determined the diversification of the products produced by the manor. At this time, the manor, like Fulong Villa, was not completely farmed. Many local conveniences will take advantage of their own advantages to carry out a variety of production and operation. For example, Fulong Villa not only produces grain to supply the rations of the people in the village, but also produces animal skins and furs, and also carries out a series of side businesses such as brewing, brick burning, and cement burning.

Of course, there are many side hustles like Fulong Villa, and the perverts who make a lot of money from each side hustle are a minority after all.

Needless to say, most of the world's wealthy families are engaged in business activities. Merchants traffic all over the world, and what they see and hear is not much higher than the old peasants facing the loess with their backs to the sky, and their business acumen is also beyond ordinary people. In addition, many of the world's great clans are interconnected, and it is not too difficult to obtain information about customs and even geographical environments that are not worth keeping secret in the eyes of the locals.

Therefore, the book "The Map of Kyushu", which was presided over by Xun Yu, although it has gone through many difficulties, with the full cooperation of the wealthy families in Yingchuan, is not as difficult as Guo Bin imagined at the beginning. Although the book has not yet been fully finalized, the original manuscript has already been sent to Guo Bin's desk. Although the title of the book is the same, the one on Guo Bin's desk is more detailed and the information is more abundant.

In Guo Bin's view, although this book is still difficult to use for military purposes, it is more than enough to popularize the knowledge of human sociology and geography to the children in Yangzhai County School. Therefore, he sent a letter to Xun Yu and asked him to print this book in large quantities by engraving printing, in addition to the exchange of wealthy families, the geography course in Yangzhai County School was used as a textbook. Guo Bin, who received Sima Hui's letter from far away in Quyang, could even feel the joy and excitement he revealed through the letter.

Not only that, at the same time as the compilation of this "Kyushu Yutu", Guo Bin also sent a letter to Xun Yu and Sima Hui, asking the two to cooperate to publish a monthly magazine for "Kyushu Yutu", which published the contributions of businessmen or students from all over the world. Its content is either a record of local landscapes, or an introduction to local customs, or excellent prose or poetry.

According to Guo Bin's character of making a lot of money, but being extremely picky, the money for the establishment of the monthly magazine naturally cannot be made by the government. Selling is one of the ways to make money for the monthly magazine "Kyushu Yutu", and in addition, the product advertising that is trying to survive in the various cracks of the monthly magazine is another way to make money.

Not only is Guo Bin calculating, but Sima Hui, as the principal of Yangzhai County, is also unambiguous in matters for the benefit of students. Whether it is the "Kyushu Yutu" or each issue of its monthly magazine, there are collections in the prefectural library adjacent to the prefectural school for citizens and students of the prefectural school to borrow. Of course, with the current literacy rate in Yangzhai County, the people who come to borrow books are not only soldiers but students.

The idea of this library was inadvertently said by Guo Bin when he was chatting with Sima Hui. Sima Hui felt that the poor students had no books to read, and felt that this was a good idea, so he pestered Yang Zhai County to help Zhao Yun govern Xu Shu in the county and discuss this matter. Xu Shu took into account Guo Bin's emphasis on the adult literacy rate, and felt that the county's school-age children had implemented a compulsory education system, and it was indeed a bit unreasonable for adults to be literate but not have a place to go. And if there is a library, then adults who want to improve their level will also have a place, so they agreed to Sima Hui's request.

Not only that, Xu Shu also asked Sima Hui to let the students in the county school take advantage of the work of school to come to the library to organize night studies, and the specific content is to popularize Chinese characters for adults. Sima Hui naturally raised his hands in favor of such a good thing that could train students, not only sending outstanding students from the county school, but also opening the lecture hall in the county school at night, especially for adults who want to read and write.

In this way, with the efforts of many parties, the literacy rate in Yangzhai County has reached an astonishing height, which is unexpected. Naturally, that's all for later.

Here, Guo Bin told Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia about Huangfu Song's letter to the Son of Heaven to intercede for Lu Zhi, and they were also overjoyed. Because Lu Zhi's status among the vast number of scholars is very high, especially in the minds of Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia, Lu Zhi is afraid that he is already at the idol level.

Because Lu Zhi and Cai Yong are masters of scripture in the court, their academic status is far higher than that of their peers. However, the two are two very different types. Cai Yong focuses on Qing talk, playing the piano and writing poems, dancing and writing, acupuncture and disadvantages, and even academic research, which is his strength; Lu Zhizhi's study focuses on practicality, and pays attention to the application of the world, the so-called articles are written for the time, and songs and poems are written for things, just like the Song Dynasty's Hengqu Zhang Zai, or the Ming Dynasty's Wang Yangming.

Therefore, Lu Zhi can not only participate in the compilation of scriptures, but also lead troops to fight, which is a real civil and military performance.

Therefore, Lu Zhi's personality and academic views are exactly the right appetite for people like Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia who don't look down on the powerless sassy scholars.

But when it came to the matter of Zhao Zhong, the permanent servant in the impeachment of Huangfu Song, everyone fell into deep thought. After a while, Xi Zhicai said: "Lord, in my opinion, General Huangfu just wants to save himself." ”

Guo Bin said: "Oh? What do you mean by that? ”

Originally, Huangfu Song had already exterminated the Yellow Turban thieves, and he had achieved great success, and he was powerful in the sea. It is not incomprehensible to show a sense of existence appropriately, and to try the importance and favor that the Son of Heaven values and favors himself. Taking advantage of the opportunity to lead the army back to Beijing to fish out Lu Zhi is also an extremely suitable time.

However, at this time, if you bully an ordinary official and take a fly, it is not a big deal, but if Zhao Zhong is offended, it will really be a rhythm of death. Why?

Because Zhao Zhong is one of the ten permanent servants, he is a close minister of the Son of Heaven! The so-called Hades is aggressive, and the imps are difficult. The Son of Heaven may still be afraid that you have just made great contributions to the Han Dynasty, and he can tolerate your unruliness in a short period of time, but Zhao Zhong may not be. After all, your so-called meritorious service, its allegiance is to the Son of Heaven, what does it matter to me as a eunuch? But once you provoke me, if I don't retaliate and come back, wouldn't it be too shameless? How will this little brother take it in the future?

The eunuchs of the Han Dynasty were far from those of the Song and Ming dynasties, and many of the eunuchs of the Song and Ming dynasties were well-informed and proficient in scripture and history, while Zhao Zhong was born in a poor family. People are greedy and cruel, where have you read so many books? Therefore, there is no apparent harmony on his body, but what he plays is the normal state of high-level struggles in his sleeves, and what is often shown is hand-to-hand combat when the ruffians in the countryside invite to fight. This kind of person will repay his eyes, and he is often unscrupulous because he has the trust of the Son of Heaven.

Not only that, but there is information that Zhang Rang, the middle attendant, once asked Huangfu Song for 50 million money, but he did not give it.

This can be regarded as offending the ten permanent servants to death, as long as Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong give him some eye medicine when facing the scene in the future, even Huangfu Song, who is the general of the left chariot, will be unable to withstand it! What's more, he, the general of the left chariot cavalry, is quite jealous of the Son of Heaven, and his merits are difficult to appreciate?

Thinking of this, Guo Bin was shocked, and looked at Xi Zhicai, his face full of incredulity.

Seeing Guo Bin's expression like this, Xi Zhicai knew that he had also thought of the key to the matter, so Fang picked up a note and handed it to Guo Bin.

Guo Bin stretched out his hand to take it, only to see that it was written: "In November, the Qiang people Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou rebelled, robbed the Liangzhou overseers to engage in Bian Yun and Liangzhou to engage in Han Yue hostage, and they were not returned. After attacking Ayang County, he turned to attack Jincheng County, and killed Chen Yi, the Taishou of Jincheng County, and Bian Yun and Han Yue were thieves. ”

After seeing it, Guo Bin said angrily: "The Qiang people rebelled peacefully, they really should be killed!" Then he exclaimed: "What does Zhicai mean?" ”

Xi Zhicai nodded and said, "Yes, General Huangfu is originally from a wealthy family in Liangzhou, and he must have received the news earlier than me." I'm afraid this is his plan to get out. ”

Guo Jia said slowly: "First of all, I offended the ten permanent servants, and when he returns to the court, the ten permanent servants will not be allowed to be in the court, and nine times out of ten they will go to Liangzhou to suppress bandits." The so-called more do more wrong, as long as General Huangfu goes to the front line, the ten permanent servants can handle it as they want, and at that time, as long as they find a random crime, they can cure General Huangfu's crime. And as long as it can be dragged out at that time, as soon as the official position of the emperor's chariot is reduced, the jealousy of the Son of Heaven will naturally not exist. The so-called Shen Sheng died inside, and his ears were safe outside, which is a good strategy! ”

Guo Bin nodded, the reason why Huangfu Song offended Zhang Rang is not counted, but also to impeach Zhao Zhong at this delicate moment. This is obviously because he is afraid that Zhang Rang's strength alone is not enough to pry himself as a left-handed general, and to let Zhao Zhong also play a role in this matter, it seems that offending the close servants of the Son of Heaven is an act of looking for death, but after all, he has just made a great achievement, and the offense is only two eunuchs, no matter how serious the consequence is, it is just a demotion to an official, but his life and reputation are not hindered.

In this era, reputation is everything, as long as the reputation is not bad, the status of the scholar class will not be shaken, and it may even become famous for offending the eunuchs. As long as there is no obstacle to his position in the scholarly class, the day of recovery will not be far away. Guo Bin has to admire the cleverness of Huangfu Song's methods: this is probably the best strategy for self-protection without damaging his reputation, right?
