Jia Cheng is very busy, not only to meet with foreign guests, but also to arrange Gao Shun's time to the fullest.

On the twenty-second day of the lunar month, Gao Shun gave a banquet to the people who were imprisoned, Zhang Zhao's attitude was slightly better, which made Gao Shun feel very happy in his heart, while the others were very indifferent to Gao Shun, and they didn't even have the proper etiquette, which was a loss of their identity.

Gao Shun was very annoyed, and continued to confine down these stubborn scholars.

The scholars had a firm moral purity, did not intermarry with the Shu people, and even sat at different tables.

Scholars attach great importance to the name of the scholar (that is, personality fame, character and integrity, and intellectual ability), once they become a celebrity, utilitarian official positions will follow one after another, so the scholar may focus on righteousness, self-cultivation, family, governance, and peace in the world, and abide by the feudal program and the famous religion; Or flashy socializing, forming friends, boasting to each other, and selling fame.

They are participants in national politics, and they are also the creators and inheritors of traditional Chinese culture.

Scholars are very important to the rulers of the country, and the management of the country is inseparable from the support of these scholars, but for Gao Shun, they are a cancer of society, an obstacle to social development, and must be eliminated.

Of course, Gao Shun doesn't want to adopt Cao Cao's tough approach at present, but only needs to cultivate a part of the new clans, secretly suppress them and weaken them, and let them disappear silently from the stage of history.

As for their resistance, in the face of powerful force, Gao Shun was full of confidence.

For the new clan, it is necessary to achieve complete control, and cannot go to the old enemy and create new troubles.

On the twenty-third day of the lunar month, in the small year, Gao Shun invited the families of senior military and political officials to stay in Taoyuan Fort according to the arrangement of the family, because they were all female family members and children, Gao Mu and Xu Ting were the mainstays, and Li Qiang and Zhao Xiong's daughters-in-law were accompanied; Gao Shun came forward to toast, and then left.

Gao Shun now has two sons.

The eldest son, Gao Rui, and the youngest son, is called Gao Xiang.

Gao Rui was very close to Gao Shun, and when he saw Gao Shun, he grabbed it, Gao Shun got up and returned to the small restaurant in the study, and Gao Rui followed; Gao Xiang is still young, he likes to be with his mother or grandmother the most, and he doesn't have much affection for Gao Shun.

It is estimated that Gao Rui's height is more than one meter three, much taller than children of the same age, his body is very strong, he can eat, he is active, and he is very smart, and he is deeply liked by Gao Shun.

In the small restaurant, Zhao Xiong, the old village chief, Gao Jian and others were waiting.

After Gao Shun's power grew, he hadn't eaten with the old village chief for many years.

Gao Jian has always wanted to see Gao Shun, hoping to get an official and a half-job, he hasn't had time to see Gao Shun for a few years, and he has some complaints in his heart, but now Gao Shun is no longer the time, he doesn't dare to scold anymore; What made him happy was that his son Gao Qiang was very motivated, now he was a military horse, now he was married, and his grandson also had a lot less complaints about Gao Shun, so he took care of his grandson with peace of mind and assisted the old village chief in managing many affairs in Bibo Fort.

There are four villages in Bibo Fort, each village has hundreds of households, a total of more than 1,200 households, nearly 10,000 people, all kinds of miscellaneous things are still a lot, the old village chief alone can no longer cope with it.

In addition, many of these people have family members of military officers, and they must handle all kinds of affairs carefully, fairly, and justly.

These villages are mainly planted with vegetables and breeding, and the harvest is basically supplied to the garrison, plus the taxes collected are low, and there is no forced labor and bullying by foreign officials, so they are very rich and peaceful, and it can be regarded as Gao Shun's special care for them.

As soon as Gao Shun entered the door with his son, Zhao Xiong, the old village chief and others immediately saluted.

"Meet my lord! Meet the Son! ”

"I've seen the prince, I've seen the prince!"

Gao Shun hurriedly stopped the old village chief and said, "Uncle, don't be polite, take a seat." Uncle, take a seat, too! ”

The waiter hurriedly added a chair to Gao Shun's side for Gao Rui to sit; Gao Rui seemed very well-behaved at this time, just looking at everyone and not speaking.

After everyone sat down, Gao Shun said: "Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, so I will invite my uncle and uncle to come and spend a small year together, some small things, let's negotiate together." ”

When I saw the old village chief again, I found that the old village chief was much older now, the wrinkles on his face were deeper, his hair and beard were all white, and he began to hunchback, but he was in good spirits.

Gao Shun couldn't help but sigh, time flies so fast.

The old village chief said politely: "The prince is polite, if there is anything to order, it is just a matter of direct order." ”

"Uncle and uncle don't have to be so polite, just call me Zhenyuan."

The old village chief was quite satisfied with Gao Shun's attitude, and said with a smile: "Haha, then take what Zhenyuan said!" ”

Gao Shun asked again: "Uncle, didn't Gao Yuan come over with Gao Qiang and the others?" Why didn't you come? I haven't seen them in a few years, and I miss them a lot. ”

"Haha, Zhenyuan is very busy, how can I let them make trouble."

Gao Shun didn't care about this matter anymore, but looked at Zhao Xiong and said: "Zizhuang, tomorrow the order will go down, and in the future, children under the age of eight in the jurisdiction will be called by their names, before the coming-of-age ceremony, they will be called by their names, and after the coming-of-age ceremony, they will be called by their names, don't think it's an insult; Second, Gao Rui is not allowed to be called the prince, and the children of Meng Zhen, Meng Wen and others are not allowed to call Gongzi, they are all the same as the public, and they can be called by their names; Don't let them rely on their parents from an early age, and if they want to be respected, they must rely on their own efforts. ”

Zhao Xiong said: "Lord, this is not in line with etiquette, I hope to make a prudent decision!" ”

Gao Shun is very fond of Gao Rui, he feels that he is a good seedling, and he hopes that he will not grow crooked, and he must be strictly educated in the future, and become a civil and military all-rounder.

Previously, Gao Rui only learned writing from his mother or Jiacheng, and did not receive systematic education.

Gao Shun came back this time, hoping to choose an ideal teacher for him, and train him together with the children of Li Qiang's family as Gao Rui's companion.

And when I invited all the people who were imprisoned at the banquet last night, Gao Shun had a choice.

As for martial arts, Gao Shun felt that he would still have to wait a few years to practice again, and now he or Zhao Xiong could be responsible for simple training and laying a foundation.

Gao Shun said firmly: "This move is only implemented in the jurisdiction, and it does not harm the interests of others, it doesn't matter!" ”

Zhao Xiong no longer insisted on his opinion, and said, "Yes, lord! ”

Without further ado, Gao Shun raised his glass and drank with a few people.

Gao Shun put the dishes into Gao Rui's bowl, and Gao Rui ate quietly by himself.

After three rounds of drinking, Gao Shun said again: "Uncle, Shun thanks for taking care of the Shun family before, I have been slow to treat you in the past few years, and I salute you!" ”

"Haha, it's all a family, Zhenyuan doesn't need to be so polite." However, the old village chief was still happy to drink a full glass.

Gao Shun then toasted Gao Jian again.

The old village chief said: "Zhenyuan, thanks to you all these years, not only the people of our Taiping Village have lived a good life, but even the entire northern Xinjiang is safe and sound, the people do not seek to be rich and noble, they can be stable and safe, and they have stuttering, thank God, this is the honor of our Gao family." ”

Gao Shun hurriedly said politely: "Uncle, over the years, I have been busy with everything else, and I have not taken good care of our Taiping people, this time I invite you and my uncle to come over, just to hear your opinions." ”

The old village chief is now more satisfied, his son Gao Yuan has not developed well since joining the army, martial arts and strategy are not his strengths, he was transferred to civilian positions by Gao Shun, and now he is a county magistrate.

The old village chief said: "Zhenyuan, it is easy to start a business and difficult to keep a business, our Gao family, we must lead by example, and will never hold you back; In the early years, such days were unimaginable, and everyone was very satisfied. ”

Gao Jian no longer has the ambition he had back then, and if his son is good, he will be good, so he also echoed: "Zhenyuan, don't think too much, such a day is already very good." ”

His dedication can be accepted by everyone, Gao Shun is very happy, relieved the knots in his heart, and said: "Hehe, thank you uncle and uncle for your understanding, the day after tomorrow, let the partners in the village go home for the New Year to come, I want to test them carefully to see what progress has been made in the past few years." ”

In this regard, the old village chief and Gao Jian were very happy, and Gao Shun did not forget his roots.

Afterwards, a few people drank freely, and said some common words, the old village chief and Gao Jian drank a lot, stayed in the guest room in the front yard of the city lord's mansion that night, and happily returned to Bibo Fort the next morning.

Gao Shun was very pleased with the understanding of the old village chief and Gao Jian, and he was afraid that his peers or nephews of the Gao family would take advantage of his status and make him embarrassed.
