The 293rd Episode The Monarch and the Ministers Meet
There is a valley in the south of Xiangyang City, called Wanxian Valley, it is said that this place is a deserted place, because of the arrival of Yang Zhai Sima Hui, it is renamed Wanxian Valley. www.biquge.info It is also strange to say that this place is barren, and there are no farmers except passers-by, but after Sima Hui came, it was lush and bamboo, and there were many farmers who farmed nearby.
This place is hidden in the mountains, and cannot be reached without the guidance of locals; There are also people and clouds, and there is a large array here, and people who are not destined cannot go. Liu Bei was able to enter here at the beginning, maybe it was because of the number of days!
Under the guidance of the locals in Xiangyang, Xun Gang came to the outside of Wanxian Valley, but saw that the cultivated land here was fertile and the farmers were singing, looking like a paradise. Xun Gang found a farmer and asked respectfully, "Little brother, dare to ask where Mr. Sima Hui's family is?" ”
The farmer looked Xun Gang up and down, and saw that he was brilliant and dazzling, thinking that he was a son of a famous family, and he was dissatisfied, so he pretended to be deaf and dumb, and ignored Xun Gang.
This scene made Xun Gang quite embarrassed, he felt that this man had obviously heard himself speak before, but now he was pretending to be deaf and dumb. Helpless, Xun Gang could only find someone else to ask; Of course, this time Xun Gang remembered it for a long time, first reported to his family, and then asked.
These idle farmers didn't bother to pay attention to these bureaucrats, but when they heard that this person was Xun Gang, the new assassin of Jingzhou, they showed a kind smile on their faces and kindly showed Xun Gang the way. Most of these people had heard of the new policies issued by Xun Gang, and they treated Xun Gang differently from other bureaucrats.
"If General Xun wants to find Mr. Sima, this valley goes down along the stream, you can see a bamboo forest, there is a big array in the depths of the bamboo forest, if the general and Mr. Sima have a fate, you can go out of the big array and meet Mr. Sima."
Xun Gang thanked him, but thought to himself, where did so many big arrays come from? However, thinking of the fact that he was played by Zuo Ci in many ways before, it doesn't seem strange that he has many Qimen Dunjia arrays.
Xun Gang led Chen Zhi and Lu Xun to continue to move forward, all the way to the bamboo forest that the farmer said; It is also strange to say, Xun Gang has been deep for a long time, and he didn't feel the existence of any big array, and he clearly saw five or six thatched huts standing on the water in front of him, looking like a paradise.
"Now it seems that this big array is just made up by Mr. Sima for the sake of tranquility!" Lu Xun said.
Xun Gang shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Maybe Mr. Sima knows that we are coming, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for us to get out of the big array, so I closed the big array!" ”
Everyone was talking, and then came to the side of the bamboo house, but saw that the mountains and forests here are lush, the birds are singing green, the stream is murmuring, the hanging spring is flying, only listening to the flowing water, and there is no trace of noise, what a quiet and secluded place!
"More than ten years ago, I met Mr. Sima, and now that time is flying, Mr. Sima is still a man of temperament!"
Suddenly, hearing the sound of books, Xun Gang looked from afar, and it turned out that Sima Hui was teaching; Xun Gang was not in a hurry, so he and the two of them found a clean place on the spot, sat down, and waited for the end of class.
The time came from early morning to noon, three hours passed, and it was late summer, even though the weather was still much refreshing, but it was noon, and it was still extremely hot. Chen Zhi and Lu Xun were already sweating profusely, but Xun Gang was still sitting in place as if he was nothing, and it was strange to say that mosquitoes didn't bite him.
Finally, in a noisy voice, Sima Hui left class. Xun Gang led the two of them slowly into the hall and sat at the back. Xun Gang knew that Sima Hui already knew about his arrival.
Sure enough, Sima Hui saw that Xun Gang took the initiative to come, so he said to the students: "Ladies and gentlemen, Jingzhou was chaotic before, if it weren't for the clever tricks used by the Jingzhou assassin history today, I am afraid that Jingzhou will suffer another unwarranted disaster." In recent days, Jingzhou Thorn History has issued a new decree, changing the conscription policy, business policy, and agricultural policy, I don't know what you think? ”
This Sima Hui doesn't seem to care about others pulling people away from him, when Liu Bei was there before, Sima Hui used the dragon as a metaphor for Liu Bei, looking for his own assistant for Liu Bei. Finally, Liu Bei dug Pang Tong away, and this is what is now the four counties of Jingnan.
Now Xun Gang's clever trick to take Jingzhou is already a well-known thing; For this matter, some people will say that he is too ambitious, and others will say that he is scheming and has mixed reviews. However, there are not many people who oppose many of Xun Gang's new policies.
Sima Hui's school often discusses the facts of the world, so everyone did not have many doubts and explained their opinions one after another.
Boling Cui Jun (Zizhou Ping) said: "Jingzhou Assassin Shi changed the conscription system this time, from one out of ten to a reward and punishment system. At that time, only one out of ten households was drawn, and the other nine households supported one household; Now it is supported by the Jingzhou government, and is encouraged to join the army by the reward and welfare system; In case of evasion of military service, the evader shall be beheaded and the livelihood of his family shall be blocked. It's just that although this plan is good, the Jingzhou government's confession is bound to increase, and the evasion of military service is the fault of one person, why does it affect the family? ”
Runan Meng Jian (word Gongwei) said: "Zhou Ping's words are too hypocritical, military service is the great of the country, how can you avoid it at will because of beheading?" It is precisely because of this policy that people who serve in the military do not dare to run away at will because they care about the livelihood of their families. In the past, the system of ten dings and one was exempted from paying 50% of the tax for the nine households, and if the 50% tax was contributed to the Jingzhou government, coupled with the current business policy, how could Jingzhou lack welfare funds? ”
After a pause, Meng Jian said again: "Since the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the imperial court has valued agriculture over commerce, and because of this, there is more grain and less wealth; Merchants contributed nearly half of the Han Dynasty's taxes, and if they could promote their status, they could expand the treasury. Now Jingzhou Thorn History knows its reason, all those who engage in business can be blessed by Jingzhou Mansion, if there is a waterway business, the boat ride is free, but the tax must be paid to Jingzhou Mansion. The merchant is greedy for profit, and the merchant ship has a lot of money, and he will not refuse this. ”
Sima Hui smiled and said nothing, and suddenly saw a person doing contemplation, so he asked, "Yuan Zhi, what do you think?" ”
Xun Gang was shocked when he heard this, and then he remembered a person many years ago, and he asked that person to apprentice with Sima Hui, so many years have passed, why did he almost forget?
Xu Shu asked with some puzzlement: "Sir, where is this Jingzhou Thorn History?" These commercial and trade measures have not been feasible since the reform of Yuzhou, so it is difficult to ......"
When everyone heard this, they said yes, and only the policy proposed by Xun Gang expanded the treasury of Yuzhou, and the banknotes were all the rage; Now there are also banknotes in Jingzhou, which can't help but remind them of the previous Yuzhou incident.
The name of the Jingzhou Thorn has not been released now, because it is Cao Cao's secret letter, not the emperor's edict, so it is just rumored that the Jingzhou Thorn History has been replaced, but no one dares to be sure.
Hearing this, Sima Hui nodded and said to Xu Shu: "Now the history of Jingzhou is the Yuzhou pastor, Xun Gang. ”
After Xu Shu heard the old tears, everyone was shocked, you must know that the ancients often said: Men don't flick when they have tears, and now Xu Shu is crying like a tearful person, which makes everyone quite surprised and asks the reason.
Xu Shu wiped his tears and replied: "It's not a secret, Yuan Zhi was a subordinate of Yuzhou Mu back then. Yuzhou Mu has the grace of reinvention and recommends Shu to study with Mr. Sima. Now...... It's been almost a decade! Yuan Zhi thought that he had no chance with Yuzhou Mu in this life, and he never thought that Tiangong would have eyes, so that he would meet the master again! ”
Everyone persuaded one after another, but they thought to themselves how much power this Xun Gang had, which made Xu Shu feel emotional? You must know that in Sima Hui's school, Zhuge Liang is the first, Pang Tong is the second, and Xu Shu is the third; The person who can move the third person undoubtedly makes the rest of the people feel puzzled.
Everyone was comforting, and suddenly saw a person with a lupine scarf, his face was like powder, his expression was elegant, and he said slowly: "Yuzhou Mu Xungang...... Taifu Xungang, Da Sima Xungang...... Jingzhou Thorn Shi Xun Gang? Hehe, what a Xun Gang! ”
Zhuge Liang's eldest brother Zhuge Jin is now an official under Sun Ce, Zhuge Liang specially got rid of him to inquire about Yuzhang at the beginning, and learned that the person who caused Zhuge Xuan's death was Xun Gang! It is the creation that makes people, this Xun Gang is now in Jingzhou as an official, and he is in Xiangyang!
Zhuge Xuan is Zhuge Liang's uncle, when Cao Cao invaded Xuzhou, Zhuge Liang's father Zhuge Liang died of illness, Zhuge Jin took Zhuge Liang and others to leave Langya to vote for his uncle Zhuge Xuan. But as soon as Zhuge Xuan died, Zhuge Liang and others suddenly lost their backers, and could only temporarily attach themselves to Liu Biao and cultivate in Longzhong.
When the enemy meets, he should be very red-eyed. But Zhuge Liang is a calm person, he is not a fool blinded by hatred. And at the beginning, each was its own master, and Zhuge Liang can be regarded as thinking about it now.
However, it is absolutely impossible for him to be an official under the enemy!
He Zhuge Liang was loyal to the Han family, and would rather go to Xu Du and be a Langzhong by the emperor's side, rather than be a separate driver under Xun Gang.
After listening to Xu Shu's words, Xun Gang was deeply touched, it's been almost ten years! Thinking that when he was only three years old, he took Xu Shu to Luoyang to visit He Jin, and now that time has passed, He Jin has long been a dry bone in the grave, and Cao Cao also occupies two thirds of the world...... It's really a creation and a man!
"Yuan Zhi ......"
Xun Gang said it casually, but he didn't expect the school to suddenly be quiet, and everyone looked at Xun Gang directly, including Xu Shu, who was crying.
"Lord...... Lord? ”
The changes in ten years are too great, Xun Gang has already changed from a four or five-year-old child to an adult, but the white hair on the top of his head has not changed so far, so Xu Shu can rely on the only clue to recognize that this is his master.
Xu Shu was no longer calm, and rushed forward to knock Xun Gang for a while, and still read in his mouth: "The criminal minister Xu Yuanzhi, knock to see the lord!" ”
"Yuan Zhi, hurry up!"
Xun Gang really couldn't bear to let Xu Shu go down like this, after all, he had a life-and-death relationship with him; At this time, I was extremely emotional when I recalled it, but for Xu Shu, it may be extremely painful......
Xun Gang deceived Cao Cao, but only a few people knew about this, and Xu Shu might not know too much, so even if he returned from his studies, he didn't dare to take refuge at will, in case he was pulled away by Cao Cao, he would really be ashamed of Xun Gang.
Fortunately, Xun Gang was witty and did everything possible to get the governor of Jingzhou, so that the two could meet again today.
They've been waiting too long......
