Chapter Ninety-Five: Rejected
Chen Gong hurriedly introduced: "This is Zhongmu County Gong Cao Ren Jun Ren Da, Boda is the famous family of Zhongmu, benevolent and generous, familiar with political affairs, I rely on his help, so that the people in Zhongmu are stable, and there is little hunger." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Since entering the realm of Zhongmu, Jin Liang found that the situation in Zhongmu County is very different from the situation in other counties where thieves are rampant with hunger, everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, and is thriving everywhere, starvation is rare on the road, and thieves are rare on the road. Jin Liang suddenly remembered, Ren Jun and Ren Boda, aren't they the pawn farmers in charge of Tuntian under Cao Cao in history?
Seeing the two talents today, Jin Liang was overjoyed, but he didn't know if they would go to Jingzhou with him.
After entering the county office, according to the etiquette at this time, he had to kneel on both sides, Jin Liang had long been tired of this kneeling salute, waved his hand to let his subordinates move the chair over, put it behind Chen Gong and Ren Jun with his own hands, and motioned for them to sit.
Ren Jun seemed to have heard of this kind of Hu chair and Hu bed, knew that Jin Liang came from the border county and was deeply affected by Hu Feng, and also knew that this chair was for sitting on it to rest after being tired from riding, so he didn't mind and sat down safely. But Chen Gong looked at the chair for a long time, and was stunned that he didn't sit down, but instead stretched out his hand to move the chair aside and sat down on his knees.
When Jin Liang, Chen Lin, and Ren Jun all sat on the chairs, only Chen Gong knelt aside, the atmosphere suddenly became awkward, and Jin Liang hurriedly asked people to remove the chairs, and also followed Chen Gong's knees and sat down. Jin Liang's face was as usual, as if he didn't mind, but he had a very negative evaluation of Chen Gong in his heart, and in this troubled world, it was difficult for people to change from time to time, and Jin Liang suddenly wavered in his plan to invite Chen Gong into the scene.
Jin Liang then thought that it was this kind of persistence that made Chen Gong unswervingly follow Lu Bu after abandoning Cao Cao and defecting to Lu Bu.
Chen Gong also had some dissatisfaction with Jin Liang, who did not follow etiquette and acted without permission, so he ignored Jin Liang's previous invitation, and his tone was extremely blunt: "The county is not under the jurisdiction of Jinzhennan, I don't know what is the noble matter of Jinzhennan to Jinzhennan?" ”
Jin Liang saw that Chen Gong's face was serious and cold, and it was not good to continue the invitation just now, so he had to take a detour to the topic: "Jin Liang led the army to suppress the yellow scarves all over the world, and everywhere he went, he could see it, only everyone in Zhongmu County lived and worked in peace and contentment, the people were rich and rich, the thieves were gone, and the road was not left behind. ”
Jin Liang originally thought that his praise would win Chen Gong's favor, but who knows, Chen Gong's face was not half relaxed, and he replied coldly: "Jin Zhennan can't help but have a little too much. Shicai Chen has already said that the county is just a stable people, and there are few starvations. And all this is thanks to Ren Gongcao's help, and it is really not the power of Chen alone. ”
Ren Jun saw a trace of embarrassment flashing on Jin Zhennan's face, afraid that this fierce general who exuded boundless murderous aura would be annoyed and angry, so he explained with a smile: "The general doesn't know, my county commander is humble by nature, and he never wants to be greedy for people's merits, but he often divides his own credit with his subordinates, in terms of governing the locality, although my county order is not involved in practice, but he has insight into the current situation, and has a big mind. Split it fifty-fifty with it. and the income from the cultivation of the displaced people was returned to the large households; Train county soldiers. He removed the thieves from the worst crimes, pardoned the sins of the thieves, gave them seeds and farming tools, and ordered them to plough the fields with the exiles; Suppress the strong, win over the local wealthy families who reward the good heart and protect the people, and crack down on those who hurt the people and harm the people; In this way, in just three years, Zhongmu suddenly became a happy party. It's just that my county is jealous and hateful by nature. He never handed over the traitorous eunuchs such as the Ten Standing Attendants, and offended the Yuan family because of his attack on local tyrants, so he has always been in the position of county commander. ”
When Jin Liang heard Ren Jun say this, he couldn't help but look at Chen Gong with admiration, he has a strategy and a talent for governance. Ren Jun later suggested with Zao Yi that Cao Cao should rejuvenate the tuntian, which should have been influenced by Chen Gong's recruitment of homeless people and thieves to cultivate the fields at this time; Chen Gong was jealous and hateful, and suppressed the local heroes, which was the same as Lu Bu's plan. The reason why Chen Gong did not show his talent in governing politics in history is that Lu Bu did not believe in Chen Gong at all and failed to use Chen Gong's strategy.
Such a talent who goes on the horse to unify the army and dismount the herdsmen. It is very rare, and what is even more commendable is that he and he have a lifelong relationship. He is humble and fair, and he is very relieved to use, but will he agree to his invitation?
Without waiting for Chen Gong and Jin Liang to say anything, Chen Lin hurriedly told Lu Bu's analysis of the general trend of the world and his idea of recruiting displaced people in the future, he wanted to recommend such a far-sighted lord with the world to his clan brothers.
Chen Lin not only has a wonderful pen, but also has a lotus tongue, his mouth is like a river, and after a word, Jin Liang's words and deeds have been endowed with a tall and majestic image of worrying about the country and the people, and serving the country with loyalty, which made Chen Gong's eyes change when he looked at Lu Bu, and there was a faint disdain, but now it has become a faint admiration.
Jin Liang noticed this change, and his heart was overjoyed, so he opened his mouth to invite: "Brother Gongtai, now that the first emperor has passed away, the Son of Heaven is young, the Han family is weak, and the local princes have many different aspirations. Jun has great talents, living in a county is enough to protect one side, but it does not help to improve the general trend of the world, it is better to come to help me, I want you to be Jingzhou don't drive, you and I work together to save the country and help the danger, report to the country, and go down to Lishu. ”
Chen Gong fell into deep thought, nodded for a while, shook his head for a while, and after a long time, he was undecided. Jin Liang couldn't help but sigh a little, no wonder Xun Yu said in history that Chen Gong was late, saying that although Chen Gong was resourceful, he thought too much and made too slow decisions and often missed the fighter.
Chen Lin waited on the sidelines, and decided to add another fire, and he must help the lord to subdue Chen Gong today. Chen Lin took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, it was the world map drawn by Jin Liang for him, Chen Lin motioned for everyone to come over and watch, when everyone else was at a loss, Chen Lin told Jin Liang that Jin Liang was struck by lightning but fortunately the emperor gave him the ins and outs of the world's terrain and products. Chen Gong and Ren Jun couldn't help but be overjoyed when they heard that there was thousands of catties of grain per mu in the world, but they both adhered to Confucian education and were skeptical of the so-called Emperor of Heaven's gift, but their worries about the country and the people made them very willing to believe that it was true.
When Chen Lin talked about Jin Liang's ambition to turn the East China Sea and the South China Sea into the inland seas of the Han Dynasty and the northern grasslands occupied by Xianbei into the Han pastures, Chen Gong and Ren Jun couldn't help but be moved. Chen Gong and Ren Jun didn't know how to describe Jin Liang, was he too young and ignorant to speak wildly, or was he ambitious and ambitious, so Lingyun Zhuang's ambition only moved that talented Chen Lin, and it was impossible to impress Chen Gong and Ren Jun, who were familiar with history books and understood the difficulties of the battle. Characters like them can't be dismissed by just saying a few bold words.
Chen Lin said that Jin Liang was given by the Emperor of Heaven, this sentence was very harsh in Chen Gong's ears, and now Liu Wei, the "son of the Emperor of Heaven" in the Luoyang Palace, has not been given by the Emperor of Heaven. Jin Liang's ambition has also become a symptom of "wolf ambition and bad intentions" in Chen Gong's eyes.
Chen Gong's eyes when he looked at Jin Liang were immediately a little unkind, if it weren't for the fact that your Jin Liang's status was higher than mine, otherwise I would immediately punish you for the crime of disrespecting the imperial power.
After all, Jin Liang was a student who graduated from college, and he had been on the battlefield all day long in this life, and his ability to figure out people's feelings and sophistication was far behind, and he couldn't notice that Chen Gong's attitude had changed again, and he didn't know that Chen Lin's bragging was self-defeating. Chen Lin has lived for more than 30 years and has been in officialdom for a long time. Naturally, it can be seen that he is painting snakes to add to the dissatisfaction of Chen Gong. But he didn't know how to make up for it. I had to be stunned there.
Chen Gong didn't want to offend Jin Liang to death, so he used Chen Lin's pretext to play: "If Jin Zhennan can really take the so-called sweet potatoes, corn, and potatoes from the so-called South America, then it proves that Jin Zhennan is indeed the person who is blessed by the Emperor of Heaven. ”
When Jin Liang heard Chen Gong say this, he knew that he was making excuses to shirk and not help him, but he didn't want to miss Chen Gong like this. insisted on persuading: "It may take as much as three years to go back and forth from Jingzhou to South America, so will Gongtai have to wait here for three years?" Jingzhou is a hundred wastes waiting to be revived, I am the time to employ people, if the public platform comes, I will entrust the military and political affairs, in order to show the talent of the public platform in the world. Life is like a white horse passing by, fleeting, how many three years will there be in life, when this is a good age to make contributions. Gongtai Anrenwo is not known to the world in this small county?! Brother Gongtai, there are 100,000 people in Zhongmu. There are tens of millions of people in Henan (generally referring to the north of the Yellow River), and what is important is the most important thing to think about. ”
Chen Gong actually closed his eyes and shook his head vigorously: "If it weren't for those three things, it would be Jin Zhennan who deceived me, how could I, Chen Gong, be a liar." If there are those three things, I don't need you to invite them, I will go thousands of miles away. ”
Jin Liang saw that he had no hesitation in what he said, so he could only leave in disappointment. Since he decided to refuse Jin Liang's call, Chen Gong was determined to the end, and he didn't even send it, only Zhongmu Gong Cao Renjun sent Jin Liang and others to the south gate of Zhongmu County.
Jin Liang was unwilling to think that Mou's trip was empty, so he opened his mouth to invite Ren Jun to Ren Boda: "Boda, I am going to Daxing Tuntian in Jingzhou, but unfortunately there are few talents under my command who are familiar with agricultural affairs. ”
Ren Jun was born in the Zhongmu clan, and the entire clan has nearly a thousand people, who have been deeply rooted in Zhongmu for hundreds of years, so he is naturally reluctant to move far to Jingzhou, and he is suspicious of what Jin Liang Chen Lin said, so he decided to unify his voice with Chen Gong: "I am willing to follow my county order, if the general Zhennan can really take sweet potatoes, corn, and potatoes from that South America, and Chen county order to go to Jingzhou to follow the general, I will definitely go to serve the general." But before the three crops came to Middle-earth, I Ren Jun only wanted to stay in his homeland and do a good job. ”
From the last time he was shunned by Xun Yu and the four of them, and today he was rejected by two people in a row, Jin Liang lost some patience, so he changed color angrily and said: "The gentleman is quick to say a whip, you two must not break your word and get fat, when those three crops return to Jingzhou, the two of you must come to my command and let them go, otherwise don't blame me Jin Xianting's ruthless sword." ”
Ren Jun smiled faintly: "The general underestimated the two of us, Chen Jun and I are both trustworthy people, although it is abrupt to make today's promise, but the two of us will fulfill it with our lives." ”
Jin Liang had no choice but to turn his horse's head, leave Zhongmu County, and head to Yangzhai in Yingchuan County.
Out of Zhongmu County, I felt that the eyes were full of desolation, and the people were not living in a bad situation, although there was no tragic situation of "white bones exposed in the wilderness, thousands of miles without rooster crowing", but it was also Jin Liang in the 21st century in the harmonious years of the unprecedented witness, if there is a comparison, it is like Africa in the harmonious years, full of war and famine. A large group of homeless people helped the old and the young to walk to Zhongmu County, there was a woman in it, with a vegetable face, dry and thin, unclothed, the exposed R room was shriveled up into a ball, the baby in her arms was crying, the mother had to helplessly stuff the R head into the child's mouth, but the shriveled R room could not squeeze out a drop of milk, and the baby cried even more sadly.
Seeing this, Jin Liang hurriedly ordered some food to be sent to the mother, so that she could eat more, and maybe produce some milk for the baby. When the Red Guards handed the food to the mother, a reckless and rude man among the homeless people stepped forward and snatched the food and shoved it into his mouth, but the mother could only cry speechlessly.
Jin Liang was furious when he saw this, and ordered someone to take down the man, but the woman fell to her knees: "Engong, he is my man, don't embarrass him." ”
Jin Liang was stunned, sighed, and ordered someone to let the man go. Chen Lin saw that Jin Liangyi was happy, and hurriedly admonished: "Lord, there are many miserable people in the whole world like this woman's family, can the general save one, can he save thousands?" It is better to recruit the talents on the lord and the Han Dynasty to Jingzhou earlier, and then hoard grain, build up the fields, and quickly pacify the troubled times, so as to truly help the tens of millions of suffering people in the world. ”
Jin Liang nodded sadly: "Kong Zhang's words are extremely true. Let's go to Yingchuan Academy early. ”
Jin Liang led the Red Guards to give more points to the family and the refugees. Turning the horse's head, the horse quickly whipped and went straight to Yingchuan Academy.
After walking for half an hour, I came to a mountain col, which is the remnant vein of Songshan Mountain, the mountain is rugged and rugged, the mountains and forests are dense, and there are bursts of wild beasts roaring inside. Although Jin Liang came out of the Taoyuan Fairyland, he was out of cultivation at that time and rarely went up the mountain.
Chen Lin sighed and said: "Before the Yellow Turban Thieves rioted, I used to go to Yingchuan Academy from this road, at that time, the road was full of traffic, and the wild beasts were extinct. ”
Jin Liang estimated the time and asked Chen Lin: "If you take a detour, how long will it take to get to Yingchuan Academy?" ”
Chen Lin thought about it for a while: "If you bypass this mountain col and take another official road, it is estimated that it will take a day and a night to arrive. It's just that there are a lot of poisonous snakes and beasts here, so let's go around as a precaution. ”
Jin Liang smiled loudly and looked back at the Red Loyal Guards: "We are all battle-hardened warriors, thousands of troops are not afraid, why not be afraid of snakes, rats, insects and ants, you protect Mr. Kong Zhang, he is a weak scholar, but he is worth a thousand troops, I don't want Mr. Kong Zhang to have any mistakes." ”
Chen Lin blushed: "General, I, Chen Lin, also uphold the way of Confucius's six arts of etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics, although the martial arts of archery are far inferior to those of generals, but self-protection should be more than enough." ”
Jin Liang then remembered that it was the Confucian scholars after the Song Dynasty who gradually weakened, and the Confucian scholars before the Song Dynasty, especially the Confucian scholars between the Qin and Han dynasties, were mostly civil and military scholars who were rampant in the world with a book and a sword, such as Xu Shu, Liu Ye, Lu Su, Yu Chuan and others were extremely swordsmanship, and they took the image of Confucianism in the Ming and Qing dynasties to Chen Lin's head, and said busily: "Kong Zhang, since you have such confidence, let's rush through this barren forest together." Having said this, Jin Liang still motioned for a few Red Loyal Guards to follow Chen Lin closely.
Just as Jin Liang was about to dismount and fight with the Red Guards, a Red Guard suddenly shouted: "Tiger! (To be continued.) )
