Mr. Cai recommended the county

Fang Furuo shoulders a heavy responsibility

Liu Lin is actually not familiar with the other party's letter and widow, and during the period of returning to his hometown Jiangxi to keep filial piety, he was introduced by Fu Bocheng in eastern Zhejiang. This Fang Xinru is a native of Xinghua Army (now Putian, Fujian), and was born in a family of eunuchs. Born heterogeneous, young can read books, write essays at the age of nine, and are called geniuses. In the fourth year of Qingyuan (1198), he supplemented the county lieutenant of Panyu County (now Guangdong) with his father's shadow. His father's name is Fang Songqing, in the first year of Longxing (1163), he was a jinshi, an official to the west of Beijing, a judge who was diligent and honest, and easy to win the people. This person is the son-in-law of Prime Minister Ye Hao, and now he has become a minister. In other words, he is Ye Hao's grandson.

This Fang Xinru is full of poetry and books, and he is extremely smart. Someone said to him, with your knowledge and talent, Jinshi and Di are not yet handy, why do you want this shade?

He said that if I participate in the imperial examination, although I dare not say that I can be caught, but I have studied hard for three years and five years, and there is no problem in passing the middle examination, since I can make up for it, why waste time in the pile of old papers, instead of spending a few years studying hard, it is better to do more practical things.

The man also said that people who have no background look down on him, and his promotion will be slow in the future.

He smiled, whether it was a shadow supplement or the imperial examination, it was just a step and a transition, all in order to enter the officialdom. Instead of reciting the Four Books and Five Classics all day long, it is better to go into the people and hone oneself in practical affairs.

Soon after arriving in Panyu, Fang Xinru found that the county government office and barracks were dilapidated, so he went to the magistrate to reflect, and the magistrate replied helplessly: I don't know this, but the county government is financially embarrassed, and there is no money to build it.

Fang Xinru said eagerly, then we have to find a way to solve it, now like this, what the boss thinks, what Li Min says, it will damage the prestige of your county.

The magistrate saw that he was strong, so he said to him, Fu Ruo, I see that although you are young, you are a person with ambition and blood, and this matter will be handed over to you, and I will report it to my boss. Fang Xinru's newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, so it's next.

The construction of the official office and the barracks needed money, Fang Xinru took it from home, first find someone to do it, and then said, the box soldiers and government servants did not have military weapons, and they could not do official business, so they borrowed money from the rich merchants in the county to buy some, and then asked the craftsmen to do the same, and then, he personally supervised the training of the box soldiers, and formulated three chapters of the law. Only half a year later, the image of Panyu has changed, petty theft, fewer fights and brawls, the people live and work in peace and contentment, the market is prosperous, and the county's taxes have been collected.

One day, a group of pirates robbed the property of a merchant at sea. After learning the news, he took the van soldiers and went to arrest him by boat. At this time, the pirates were gathering on the beach to divide the property and loot, and Fang Xinru shouted: "Stop! Scoundrel rat, how dare you be so bold! Is there any royal law? ”

The pirates never imagined that the county magistrate would come in person, so they panicked and ran around, trying to get weapons on the ship to fight them. Who knows, Fang Xinru had already sent someone to tow the thief ship away, cut off its way, and shouted again: You all be honest with me, obediently raise your hands and surrender, if anyone doesn't know what to do, it doesn't matter if they are killed!

Seeing that the soldiers were fully armed and their swords and guns were shining, the pirates knew that their stubborn resistance would not end well, so they were all captured, and all the property they had stolen was taken to the government.

Fang Xinru is both civil and military, loyal to his duties, and unconventional. When Xinhui (now Xinhui District, Jiangmen City, Guangdong) county order was short, and the Guangzhou government issued an order to let Fang Xinru act as his agent. The imperial court required all prefectures and counties to pay corn, and the task given by the Guangzhou government to Xinhui County was more than 30,000 stones. As a small coastal county, 30,000 stone corn is a big number, and in the past, this county was at most 20,000 stones, and his boss and colleagues sweated for him.

Fang Xinru was not in a hurry, and issued a notice: Those who donate ten stones of corn will send two acres of barren land and will not pay grain for three years. It turned out that there were tens of thousands of acres of wasteland in the east and west of the county, which were not cultivated. Guangzhou Prefecture, Guangping East Road Cao Si, and Cang Si greatly praised his approach, and more than a dozen government officials jointly recommended it to the Ministry of Officials as Zengcheng Zhixian.

As a result, after three years of rank, the officials were changed to Xiaoshan County (now Zhejiang) County Cheng for their meritorious work in catching thieves.

Soon after arriving in Xiaoshan, Qian Xiangzu, the envoy of eastern Zhejiang, and Fu Bocheng, who was sentenced to prison, were ordered to consolidate the Qingyuan (now Ningbo, Zhejiang) seaway to prevent the Jin army from invading from the sea. Hearing that Fang Xinru was resourceful, he was recruited to deal with coastal defense matters. Because of his ability and orderliness, he repeatedly recommended to the imperial court to be a subordinate officer of Huaidong with the army, and returned to Xiaoshan County after the incident.

In Panyu, in-depth investigation of various places of interest and historic sites, enough to Xinhui, Dongguan, Zhaoqing (now part of Guangdong) places, as "South China Sea Hundred Songs" seven unique hundred songs, Ji Sheng Yong history. Each poem has a solution to the question and research, showing its literary talent.

"Jin Zhiyan"

Biluo Sanzhou is strange in the world, who in Xiancheng reacquainted with Jin Zhi;

Pity the partition of Huangmao Road, and you can't give a poem.

Fu Tixing said to Liu Luan that the young man is really good, he is in his twenties, generous and cheerful, regards money as dung, and every time he goes out to play, the car is crowded with friends.

Considering that it was necessary to send an envoy to Jinbang, the imperial court required the internal and external ministers to be eclectic and recommend talents. Cai Huanshang, the general manager of the Huaidong Consulate General, recommended Fang Xinru, saying that he was "talented, strong and sensitive, and literary and talented, all of which are considerable." "Be generous and daring, do whatever it takes, and do what you do." believes that "his people are young and vigorous, have the intention of fame, are motivated, and do not choose dramas." If you don't cultivate it, you will be successful. The internal and difficult ministry, and the external side of the border can be tried. Cai Jian finally declared: "In the future, after the imperial court is promoted, it is better to do what you say, and be willing to serve the dynasty." "Take responsibility by yourself.

Han Yanxuan took Cai Huan's recital and asked Liu Lan, look, is this the person you are talking about.

Liu Lan took it and browsed it again, nodding, it is this person, Pingzhang, you know, who is Cai Huan, he is the great-grandson of Cai Xiang and Cai Junmo, they are fellow villagers. Fu Tixing praised him very much, saying that the state government recommended it year after year, but the officials just didn't reuse it, just because he was unborn.

Han Yanxuan deeply agrees, I have said a long time ago, this background kills people. Since this is the case, Zhongshu will issue an edict to let him come.

In fact, Liu Luan said it comprehensively, Cai Jian is not only Fang Xinru's fellow villager, but also Fang Xinru's elder. Fang Xinru's wife is Cai Huan's niece.

Speaking of the marriage between these two, there is another good story.

Spring is coming, and the flowers in the back garden of Fangfu are blooming one after another. Fang Xinru invited a few Confucian students to watch the begonias, and while they were happy, they composed poems and recited. Everyone unanimously rated Fang Xinru's "Yongxi Courtyard Begonia" as the best.

A few pearls are the deepest red, embellished with home remedies to make chemicals.

The good thing is that the year of the transfer of Shu seeds, the beauty of the dawn out of the Wu Palace.

When can the enchanting be rewarded, and the scattered will eliminate the night wind.

I don't know the people who have the incense, and the embroidery is all covered with brocade smoked cages.

A few days later, a man named Cai Pu brought Fang Xinru a poem.

The begonias in the backyard of the pavilion are beginning to open

And with the peach and plum for a while, leaning on the fence all day long to the fragrant bush,

The shade of fragrant spring is drunk and the glow is half-green and red with the wind and rain,

Hun is the beginning of Huaqing's bath, and the blue silk obliquely covers the spring and is full of thoughts,

In the middle of the night, I suddenly remembered that the southern branch was good, and the piano came to the bright moon.

Fang Xinru chanted again and again, even claiming that it was good, fresh and refined, there was a scene in the painting, and there was love in the scene, which was much stronger than my one. Brother Boyong, is it your new work?

Where, you look closely, is this my word?

Look again, the font is not like, although it is a little immature, but it is delicate and dignified. Who wrote that?

This is my sister's work, and I specially brought it to you to see. Cai Pu's second sister is called Ah Zhen, only sixteen years old, named her boudoir Si, and after her brother got back Fang Xinru's poems, she wrote them in rhyme.

Since then, this girl named Cai Zhenzhen has left a good impression in Fang Xinru's heart. Coincidentally, after Yin Bu became an official, someone came to the matchmaker, and the introduction was this Cai Zhenzhen, Fang Xinru's mother was reluctant, she knew that this girl had a disability, when she was a child, she unintentionally fell and injured her left leg, and she walked with a slight lameness.

The matchmaker said that this problem is okay, the Cai family said that they would give more dowry and accompany the two girls who had sex with them, but Fang's mother still did not nod. Fang Xinru walked in and said to the matchmaker, my mother agreed, I have no opinion, it doesn't matter how much the dowry is, don't accompany the girl, my family won't even be able to take care of the girl.

Seeing her son's nonsense, Fang's mother pulled into the house and asked him: What nonsense are you talking about, I don't know that this girl has a disability.

Mother, I know, isn't it just a little leg, and there is no lack of arms, it is not in the way, I have heard that this girl is virtuous and talented, and she is also good-looking.

In this way, a marriage is done, and the relationship between the two is very good after marriage.

After receiving the imperial edict, Fang Xinru packed up his makeup. His wife Cai Zhenzhen said: Xianggong, I still don't have a solid heart, or we won't go?

Fang Xinru helped his wife to the chair and sat down, Ah Zhen, it's okay, the two countries are at war and don't kill it, let alone negotiate peace, I will come back safely.

Then why didn't so many civil and military officials from the top and bottom of the Manchu Dynasty go?

You usually say that I am a pearl secret investment, I haven't met Bole, and now the court trusts us, isn't this a good opportunity to show off your ambitions?

Seeing that your wife is still unhappy, hold her in your arms, and you can put a hundred hearts in your arms. Let me tell you the story of a cattle dealer who retired from the army.

During the Warring States Period, Qin Mugong wanted to go to conquer Zheng State, so he worshiped Meng Ming as a general, and Xi Qishu and Bai Yibing as deputy generals.

When the army arrived at the boundary of Huaguo (south of Yanshi County, Henan Province), there was a report from the Malay: Zheng Guo's envoys asked to see him. Meng Mingshi was taken aback, and thought to himself: Could it be that Zheng Guo already knows that we are going to conquer them? Just as he was thinking that Zheng's envoy had arrived, he said, "My name is Xiangao, and when our king learned that the three generals were going to Zhengguo, he sent me to send twelve fat oxen to the soldiers. Meng Mingshi replied: We are not going to your country, you don't have to worry. Xiangao seemed to be a little unconvinced, and Meng Mingshi stammered, "We...... We're here to conquer the Slippery Country, so go back and restore your life. "Xian Gao handed over the fat cow, thanked Meng Mingshi and went back.

The next day, he was supposed to continue to march towards Zheng Guo, but Meng Mingshi ordered to attack the Slippery State, which made Xi Qishu and Bai Yibing inexplicable. Meng Mingshi said to them, now Zheng Guo sent envoys to reward the army, which means that they are already prepared, and persuade us not to go any further, it is better to destroy him while the Slippery State is not prepared, bring some property back, and give an explanation to the king.

The fact is that Meng Ming saw the big dang of the string high, the string high is a Zheng Guo, but he is not an envoy at all, just a cattle dealer, he was going to Luoyang to do business, and met the army of Qin on the way, when he knew that Qin was going to attack Zheng Guo, he was very anxious, and he was in a hurry: while pretending to be an envoy, he sent Niu Drafts to the army and saved Zheng Guo.

It's that short, it's over?

It's over, you say, I'm not as tall as that cattle dealer? Sun Tzu's Art of War said, the first army is to fight, the second is to attack the city, and then the city is attacked. The soldiers who surrender without a fight, and the good ones are also good. A wise man relies on wisdom to convince people, not his fists.

Of course I know this, and I will also tell a story about Zhan Xi's retirement.

One summer, Duke Qi Xiaogong led his troops to attack the northern border of Lu.

Lu Fu Gong sent Zhan Xi to reward the Qi army, and asked him to ask Zhan Yu for advice on the words of the reward. Before Qi Xiaogong entered the territory of Lu State, Zhanxi left the country to follow Qi Xiaogong and said to him: "Our monarch has heard that you have worked hard and will deign to come to our country, and I will send our ministers down to reward your attendants." Qi Xiaogong said: "Are the people of Lu scared? Zhanxi replied, "The common people are afraid, but the gentleman is not afraid." ”

Qi Xiaogong said: "The people's homes are empty, like hanging rocks, the fields are bare, there is not even a single grass, of course there is no need to be afraid, but you adults have gold and silver treasures, mansions and beauties, why are you not afraid?" ”

Zhanxi replied, "By the order of the previous king." In the past, the Duke of Zhou and the Duke of Qi assisted the Zhou royal family, assisted King Cheng in governing the country, and King Cheng comforted them and gave them a covenant, which said: Generations of descendants should not kill each other! This covenant is kept in the league mansion and is in the hands of Taishi. Therefore, the Duke of Qi Huan gathered the princes to discuss and resolve their disputes, make up for their mistakes, and help them from disasters, which was to carry forward the duties of the Duke of Qi. When you become king, the princes are looking forward to saying, 'He will inherit the deeds of Duke Huan!' Because of this, we did not dare to defend the city and gather people, and people would say, 'Did he abandon his mission and his duty after only nine years of inheriting the throne of Duke Huan?' How did he explain to the ancestors? The king would not have done that. People are not afraid by that. ”

When Qi Xiaogong heard this, he didn't say a word, and led the troops back to China.
