284. Fishing
>,!
Although it is spring, Chang'an is much colder than Jingzhou.
The newly appointed Sizhou Don't drive Xu Shu is not used to the climate of the north, so he stood under the corridor with his hands down, listening to his own lord speak to more than a dozen newly appointed county commanders who were about to take office.
"The county order of other places can be summed up as nine characters for the official: Xingjiao persuades Nongsang to break the prison lawsuit!" Deng Jizheng, who had just eaten in the court, said to a group of county magistrates: "You have been in Jingzhao for several months, and under the rule of Zhi, the county magistrate is completely different from other places, and there is no need to bother to educate and persuade Nongsang. ”
At the end of last year, Shi Tao was appointed as the Didao Order of the Longxi County Governor, Li Yi was appointed as the Wudu Zhizhi Decree, and Yan Gan was appointed as the Longxi Daoist Order, the three most important positions, and the rest were slightly inferior, and they were all small counties.
In addition to these outsiders, more than ten qualified scribes have also been selected from various counties in Sizhou, and they have also been appointed as county commanders of the three counties of Xiliang, and they have already taken office first.
The county order under his rule requires at least Deng Ji, the lord, to meet and know each other.
In the face of Shi Tao, Li Yi, Yan Gan and others, Deng Ji said: "I don't want the people to know the name of Deng Mu'an, I just want the people to understand the various laws they do, get their benefits and live in peace." You go to the west of Liang, in addition to the above things, there is still a need to soothe the Qiang under the rule, don't think that the county order is low, in fact, there is a long way to go, hard work and tiredness, do not quit the hardships, focus on things! The two counties of Longxi Wudu are still lacking too guard, but there are outstanding political achievements, a certain should be used for both rewards! ”
Since he came to defect, he has to be enterprising, Deng Ji is short of people, not to mention the vacancy of the two counties, and in the future, there are still many county guards.
Inspired by this, Shi Tao and the others replied loudly: "Wow! ”
There are few people under the rule of Liangzhou counties, and many of them live in Qiangdi, and now they are not even, and they are indeed more fortunate than in Sizhou, but they have more opportunities for promotion.
Deng Ji also has arrangements. There are a total of 30 counties in the three counties of Liangzhou, and the number of government officers in each county is much more than that in Sizhou, and the smallest small county has 200 people, which can be used on behalf of the county soldiers. In order to make up the six or seven thousand errands required by the three counties, and even slow down the formation of the Hedong Armed Guards, in addition to the old soldiers in the army, the adult sword and shield soldiers are now adults. Most of them will be sent to fill the position.
Fortunately, with the increase in the population base under the rule, the number of new soldiers added every year has also increased, and this spring there have been nearly 10,000 newly selected soldiers in Sizhou, and the halberd soldiers have filled the gap in the four armies, and there are more than 4,000 sword and shield soldiers and bow soldiers, and 3,000 have been transferred to Liangzhou for the county errands. The rest went to Hedong to form a military guard.
Liangzhou is a place where the people are fierce, and after the Hao tribe is free, the three counties of Tianshui, Longxi, Wudu, not counting the surrendered Qiang tribes, although the population of the Han people is only just over 100,000, they can also pick out nearly 3,000 soldiers, and some more are transferred from the army to which Jiang Xu, Liang Kuan, and Zhao Qu belong. to have enough money.
When a group of county magistrates said goodbye, Deng Ji loosened his face and said back to Xu Shu: "Today's business is over, I'll wait and go fishing!" ”
Xu Shu couldn't cry or laugh, and secretly regretted that his fishing tackle and wine jug were thrown away earlier that day.
This lord who is eager for quick success and quick profit, the means of winning people's hearts are too rough, and when he heard that he likes to fish in Huayin, he often uses this to please him. The words that were about to buy people's hearts came out bluntly.
However, Xu Shu is not good at admonishing on this matter, Deng Ji at least remembers the identity of the lord, and every time he goes to the river to fish, he takes it with him - he will invite guests to go with him, and most of the time he will set up a banquet in the evening to entertain him.
The two old men invited by Deng Ji were Wei Duan and Lu Hu'er.
These two are the fathers of the former Liangzhou Thorn Shiru who is appointed by the imperial court, such as today's Shuitai Shou Kang; First, the small brain of the Qiang people has sent a message for Deng Ji to recruit several Qiang people to vote. They all lived in Chang'an as hostages, and Deng Ji invited them every time he fished. Contacting feelings, showing sincerity, and the hearts of scholars of different races in Anliangzhou are considered serious in Xu Shu's eyes.
Compared to those two. His own family is only incidental, so he can't be admonished because Deng Ji is content with pleasure.
A wise man knows people. With Xu Shu's wisdom, after a period of close contact, he naturally saw the shortcomings of this lord's body, and sure enough, as the scholars of Jingzhou said, Deng Ji didn't know what was going on, and he was not sensitive to thinking.
If you are kinder, slow to react and unclear, you can also say that you have the style of a gentleman, and you have a bit of a flirtatious temperament, which makes people unconvinced.
However, the various systems created with benevolence in the past seem to contain great wisdom. The existence of this contradiction makes Zhiru Xu Shu a little incomprehensible.
Deng Ji's advantages also made Xu Shu impressed.
In Xu Shu's view, the biggest advantage is that this lord is broad-minded, good at listening to the words of his subordinates and people, and can listen to and change things when he hears them.
With him by his side, he can often see that Tian Feng is the only one, and Jia Xu also dares to face the blame, Deng Ji listens honestly and does not think it is a crime.
There were two people in front, and Xu Shu was not polite. He has admonished him several times for the behavior he is not accustomed to on weekdays, and some Deng Ji who admit that he is not wrong will explain the reason in detail, and there may be arguments, but he will not be angry; When there is a mistake, it will be corrected, and it will not be made or less in the future.
Xu Sheng, the general of Wuwei appointed in Hedong, after starting to build the army, was too troubled to do so, and it was not his wish to stick to one place, so he asked Deng Ji to return to his original post in the army, and wanted to lead the troops to fight again. For this one-person remark, Deng Ji first asked Yu Zangba, and after obtaining his consent to be replaced as General Wuwei, he discussed with the two military advisors, with Che Huang Xu Sheng's two meritorious achievements, and they have been with each other for a long time, and they only have some grievances in the position of captain, and make an exception to change the two to General Guo Yi, or the Guo Yi School in the army, but the position is only below the main general, and it is still higher than Gu Sheng, Wu Ning, Yin Feng, and the three partial generals.
With such an attitude towards people and things, benevolence and love for the people, and no time to hide flaws, there are big shortcomings, and compared with other princes, it is more worthy of Xu Shu not to give up.
I sent someone to ask the two military advisors and Jingzhao Yin Tianchou, and the three of them were entangled in official affairs and couldn't go to the city to relax. Deng Ji and Xu Shu drove out of the house, sent the black iron guard to Weiduan Lu Hu'er's mansion to invite people, gathered on the street, and then went outside the city.
It is rare to see Wei Duan's young son Wei Dan with a weak crown today, Xu Shu smiled and said: "Although the Zhong General is only a weak crown, his writing is already commendable. ”
Zhong will be Wei Dan's expression, and he also replied with a smile: "Why is Xu Gong greedy? The day before yesterday, I inscribed a plaque for your house, and now I ask for it? ”
Xu Shu began to play a scoundrel: "The writing under the rule of the lord makes the two brothers Wei Boru the best, and now there are Zhong generals who can be compared!" The first two are in Tianshui, and the other is an Anyi order, which is difficult to find. If you don't ask for it, wouldn't you give up the near and seek the far? ”
Wei Duan is old, but his ears are good, he heard the conversation between the two in the ox cart, and interjected to Xu Shu: "The dog is still not sharpened, Yuan Zhi should not praise again, make him proud!" ”
Xu Shu replied with a smile: "A certain and Zhong will forget about the New Year, Wei Gong don't say anything!" ”
Calligraphy does not have room for Deng Ji and Lu Hu'er to interject from the two semi-illiterate people, and after listening to it for a while, Deng Ji smiled and said to Xu Shu: "If Yuan Zhigong wants to ask for words again, you need to take advantage of the recent convenience!" General Zhong is already weak this year, and he will soon be appointed as a foreign county commander! ”
The two sons can be used, it is obvious that Deng Ji's vigilance is gradually disappearing, it is a good thing for his own family, Wei Duanfang is happy, Wei Dan has already refused: "I want to ask the envoy, the eldest brother is an official abroad, the old father is old, there is no one on his side, and he only wants to stay in Chang'an to be raised, and he does not want to go out to work!" ”
Wei Dan's words didn't turn around at all, fearing that Deng Ji would be displeased, Wei Duan hurriedly reprimanded: "Although I am old, I am not immobile, and there is no shortage of child servants at home, so why do you need to stay by my side?" Make the king carry love, but I don't know how to thank you, why do you say such rude words? ”
In front of outsiders, reprimanded by his father, Wei Dan didn't dare to argue and silently stopped talking.
Looking at his appearance, he knew that he was unhappy in his heart, Deng Ji smiled: "Why is this difficult? If the middle general is out of office, he will go to the land with his father to raise him, how can he be loyal and filial! ”
Hearing this, the father and son were suddenly surprised and unbelievable, and after a while, Wei Dan couldn't help but ask: "Is what you said true?" ”
Deng Ji laughed, deliberately teased him, changed the topic to other things, and did not mention it again.
When the party got out of the city gate, Wei Dan was more and more itchy, and asked vigorously, Deng Jicai said: "If you believe it, it's true, if you don't believe it!" ”
can be arranged in this way, Yun Wei took out of Chang'an City, and the ban order had been lifted, and Lu Hu'er was envious, Wei Dan came back to his senses and asked, "Where does the envoy want to take a certain post?" ”
Deng Ji replied: "There is still a lack of a county order in Hedong Yishi County, can General Zhong be willing to take office?" ”
Wei Duan knew that his eldest son was appointed as a taishou in Tianshui, so he naturally would not appoint his young son to Liangzhou, so he was satisfied with this arrangement, and hurriedly said to Wei Dan: "Don't thank you for your kindness?" ”
Wei Dan really thanked him on the left side of the road, not for his own family, but for his father. Deng Ji suffered, and a group of people went to the river again.
Seeing that Wei Duan, who was also imprisoned, had been freed, Lu Hu'er had no intention of fishing anymore, but Deng Ji didn't mention his own family affairs, so he had to follow the team listlessly.
When he went to the river to sort out the fishing tackle, Deng Jicai said to him again: "Qiang Di has not yet begun to accept livestock, but your army has sent out eleven soldiers, and they have all gone to the Xiao cavalry army. ”
Lu Hu'er immediately smiled, and forced to listen to Deng Ji continue: "Your tribe lives in the third auxiliary, and the clansmen are also familiar with farming, and they have already made meritorious contributions before, so they should be rewarded again: if there are people who are willing to abandon herding and change to farming with the policies of the fourth-class people, they can be naturalized according to the Han people's example!" ”
Deng Ji levied a very heavy tax on the Qiang foreign tribes, if he could get into the fourth-class people's policy, it would be considered a good thing, so why not abandon animal husbandry? Unexpectedly, there was still such an unexpected joy, Lu Hu'er didn't care whether the clansmen were assimilated by the Han people a hundred years later, so he nodded hurriedly and responded: "Our department wants to change to farming, thank you for the grace of Duke Deng!" ”
Today's fishing is all happy, Wei Duan and Lu Hu'er The two old men have changed their dull past, and their words are cheerful and do not listen, so frightened that the fish in the river will not take the bait again.
Xu Shu couldn't do it, so he sat away from them alone. (To be continued.) )
