Chapter 275: Reward
The huge Dragon Boat Festival movement has swept across Yingchuan County, whether it is restaurants, inns, merchants, shops, or ordinary people, they have hung wormwood to repel mosquitoes. In addition, each household sprinkled the courtyard to remove, drank realgar wine, sprinkled lime water, stirred turbidity and derotten, sterilized and prevented diseases, and the use of lime in the entire Yingchuan County was also greatly increased for a while.
In addition, business travelers from the southern epidemic areas, whether people or livestock, are closely monitored, and their feces and food and clothing are extremely careful. After a few days to see that there is no illness, the lockdown will be lifted. Although everyone doesn't know much about the ins and outs of these rules, since they are set by the government, naturally only those who follow them honestly.
However, the official of Yingchuan County has never reported that Artemisia annua can treat malaria, but it is rumors that Artemisia annua can treat miasma in Jiangnan has spread among the people of Yingchuan. Since then, the chopped Artemisia annua has been mixed into glutinous rice, kneaded into balls and steamed for eating, and has gradually become a famous food in the Yingchuan area.
The news that Artemisia annua has a miraculous effect on malaria was a decision made after careful deliberation and careful consideration by the upper echelons of Yingchuan County. Guo Bin has made great contributions repeatedly, and he is extremely popular in the court, and his performance in the Xiongnu and even the Xianbei tribe, even Huangfu Song, who has contributed to the suppression of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, seems to have been suppressed. However, although Guo Bin has won the trust of the Son of Heaven, after all, the way of being an official is still to be the same as the light, the so-called wood show will be destroyed by the forest wind, and it will not be better to act higher than the people, and it is not beneficial to be in the limelight too much.
If he had just returned to Yingchuan now, it would have been revealed that Guo Bin had found a way to treat malaria, and the limelight would have been too much. Although the special medicine that can treat miasma is a great kindness to the people of Jiangnan, it is of great use to the imperial court to develop the Jiangnan region, and even to the expedition to the Southern Barbarians, and even Guo Bin thought that it is of great strategic significance for the founding of Sun Wu and the founding of Shu Han in the future (of course, now after Guo Bin's stirring, it is still extremely difficult to determine how the situation will go). However, who proposed it and how it was proposed is still a matter of great consideration.
If it was proposed by the Yingchuan official or in the name of Guo Bin himself, the imperial court would naturally give Guo Bin a very heavy reward and would greatly commend him, but except for awarding him two big red flowers, the Son of Heaven would never give him substantial benefits. But if Guo Bin is really greedy for this false fame, then what he will gain more will be the suspicion of the court and the Son of Heaven.
This kind of well-being that benefits all the people should naturally be put forward by the Son of Heaven, so that all the people can thank the Son of Heaven, which is the political logic of the feudal era. However, if it is raised by a courtier or even a person from the grassland, it will become a crime, and at worst, it will be called a conspiracy to misbehave, and at worst, it will be called a deliberate usurpation, because this is an act of challenging the authority of the Son of Heaven, and whether it is right or wrong in principle, it is a mistake in the political line.
At this time, Guo Bin is the county guard of Yingchuan, with a high and powerful position, if he wins people's hearts like this, then no matter how much the Son of Heaven believes in you, he will be jealous. Let the Son of Heaven give birth to jealousy, and the result is naturally obvious. Such examples are not uncommon in the national dynasties, and the famous ones in history include Dou Xian, Deng Qiu, Liang Ji and other relatives who once leaned towards the government and the opposition.
And if Guo Bin is just a common man who wanders the rivers and lakes, this reputation will help him become a tycoon of the rivers and lakes such as Zhang Jiao and Yu Ji, and the demagogic hat is for you.
Therefore, after many rounds of consultations, Guo Bin decided that it was better for him not to be in vain, as long as it could benefit the people of the world and enable Yingchuan to survive this crisis safely. In this way, Guo Bin gave up such a great credit that could have won the popularity of the world, and turned to the popular world in the form of folk earthwork and even local specialties, so that it would not be too eye-catching.
But those who know the inside story are all sighing for Guo Bin's high style. To be honest, such a big thing, no matter who it is on, needs to be carefully considered. Aren't people living in the world just for fame and fortune? Guo Bin is for the great interests of the people of the world, and abandons the small profits of one person, which makes the civil and military under his command feel deeply.
Xun Yu once said to Xi Zhicai: "The world is expected and the world is praised, but the lord is like a piece of, and he doesn't see it in his eyes at all, which really makes me admire." Its mind and magnanimity and belly measure can compete with the sun and the moon. If the winner of life is like this, he can do one or two things for the people of the world, what more can he ask for? ”
In this way, this plague, which was enough to threaten the life and death of the entire Yingchuan County, was quietly lifted. And just when the civil and military forces in the county were busy with this matter, the edict of the Son of Heaven also came down.
"The strategy said: Yingchuan County guards Guo Bin, ordered out of the fortress, quelled the delusion of Xianbei Dadan Yu and Lian's southern invasion, killed Helian in front of the battle, and repelled 50,000 Xianbei troops, loyal and brave, and very wise. Tebai is the general of the Xianbei Zhonglang, increases the number of households in the city, increases the number of guards to 2,000, and allows him to open accounts and set up a house, reward the god horse Wu Hu, and still serve as the county guard of Yingchuan. In addition, Sima Guan Yu of the Yue Cavalry Battalion Army, slashed and the company, bravely passed the people, worshiped as the Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion, and still stayed in front of Guo Bin's army to serve. The rest of the generals will be rewarded according to their military exploits. ”
The merit of repelling the 50,000 Xianbei army is great, and the matter of beheading a clan chief is unheard of. Therefore, the court's reward for Guo Bin can be regarded as a pick-and-roll. Or in order to make up for him, the imperial court gave Guo Bin the Wuqi BMW that was originally dedicated to the Son of Heaven to Guo Bin, and gave him the right to open accounts and set up a government, which is a real benefit.
As for Guan Yu, the Son of Heaven is much more generous. Let's not talk about his background, let's say that the common people are all putting gold on their faces, but Guan Yu escaped by committing an accident in his hometown. The imperial court first agreed to him as the military commander of the Yue Cavalry Battalion at the beginning of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and now he beheaded Helian, and even named him the Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion. Putting a pavilion marquis under his command and listening to him at his disposal doesn't this show the court's favor to Guo Bin?
Of course, this does not exclude some people's careful thinking. Since Guan Yu was named the Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion, his title is second only to Guo Bin in Yingchuan County, which is the first among the civil and military forces under Guo Bin. Naturally, there is an element of Guan Yu being enveloped by the imperial court, but more of them are still waiting to see Guo Bin's jokes. If Guan Yu doesn't know what to do, pick it up in front of Guo Bin and see how Guo Bin ends? If he takes the opportunity to suppress, he will be too narrow-minded, and if Guo Bin ignores it, it will be out of order, which will be a big disaster.
This kind shows that Guo Bin's current merits have aroused the jealousy of some people in the imperial court, and whether it is Yuan Shao in Beijing, or the general He Jin, they have never stopped him, and they have not even reminded him in private messages, which is very revealing. And the Son of Heaven is smart and wise, and he has a lot of political experience, although this arrangement is based on the situation, it can be seen that he is not as relieved as Guo Bin is before. Indeed, where there are so many warm veins in politics, once political interests are involved, trust and a little personal friendship are extremely insignificant.
The emperor's heart trick is to a large extent about balancing all parties, even if it is as close as father and son, it is difficult to trust it in many cases, let alone the feudal officials who guard the place? Even if Guo Bin is so valued by the Son of Heaven, he must make him feel the grace of the Son of Heaven while trying to contain and set up enemies for him, this is politics.
Regarding this stake, Guo Bin didn't understand it at the beginning, but now after being reminded by Xi Zhicai, it is also a caveat. It is true that he has someone in the court, but now that this situation has occurred, no one has awakened him, which is quite difficult to think.
Cai Yong is not sensitive enough in political affairs, only caring about being happy for Guo Bin, and he does not think too deeply about deeper things, nor lacks interest, so he cannot see this. Although Lu Zhizi is extremely upright, his vision is unique, and he has been in the court for a long time, and many things are like fire. This time the matter must not be hidden from him, but he did not write to remind Guo Bin, according to Guo Bin's analysis, it may be because he saw it clearly that he did not write to remind him. After all, many things involve the Son of Heaven, and it is not appropriate to fall on paper, and if there is no reminder, it is a reminder, which is to ask Guo Bin not to act rashly, but to pretend not to be clear.
When Xiao Huangmen, who was sent by the Son of Heaven to announce the decree, handed over the holy decree to Guo Bin, Guan Yu remembered what Zhang Fei said to him: "Brother Yun, if the son of today appoints you as the Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion, although it is a reward for your killing and great achievements, why not to add to the obstruction of the lord?" The lord is humble and will not care about this little thing, but what do the people below think? ”
"If you say that you are close to the lord, you can't get closer to Guo Jia and Zhao Zilong; If you say that you have followed the lord for a long time, you are not longer than the military advisor. But you see, Guo Jia is still white, Zilong is just a county commander, a military advisor, and only has a job. Xu Yuanzhi is talented, but he is just a county man, such as Mr. Sima Decao, Xun Wenruo, Chen Shuzhi and others, all of whom are white. ”
These words made Guan Yu frightened and shocked, and there was only a cold sweat left when he was full of pride. After the announcement of the little yellow door was completed, Guan Yu bowed to the authentic and said: "It is a fluke that the minister was able to kill Helian." If the lord is present in person, or if one of Yide, Zilong, and Shuzhi is present, he will also be able to take the head of Helian. Yu is now the Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion, which is not only the kindness of the Son of Heaven, but also the fulfillment of the lord, the humility of all colleagues, Guan Yu is not talented, and he does not dare to be sealed! ”
When the little yellow door heard it, he was at a loss, and he didn't know how to deal with it, where did he listen to the book and the officials didn't do it? I have to look at Guo Bin, this person has a special identity and a very high prestige, if he can get an idea, then it will be no better.
Guo Bin naturally knew Guan Yu's concerns, and said to Guan Yu at the moment: "Yun Chang, you and I are like brothers, and I, Guo Bin, have never treated you as an outsider. In Guo's heart, you, Guo Jia, Senior Brother, Yide and others are all my siblings and relatives. You have to be named the Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion, I can only be happy for you, so you don't have to worry about it anymore. ”
After repeated pushing, Guan Yufang finally accepted the reward, and since then he has become more and more respectful of Guo Bin.
