Chapter 9 The Three Elders Wu Qin
Just when Pingyuan Jun was giving advice to Xinling Jun, Duan Ganchong ushered in an uninvited guest in the Dongjun County Guard's Mansion. Wu Qin, a doctor in the reign of King Zhao of Wei, sent someone to hand over a letter of worship and ask to see Duan Ganchong, the new county guard of Dongjun.
Although Duan Ganchong and Wu Qin were once officials in the same dynasty and worked together with King Wei Zhao, the friendship between the two was really weak. Because in the Zhao Dynasty, Duan Ganchong was just a minor official in the Prime Minister's Mansion who was not well-known, and Wu Qin was a celebrity in front of the Zhao Dynasty at that time. If it weren't for Wu Qin's wrong position on the throne of the crown prince and offended the later Wei Wangyu, Duan Ganchong even doubted whether he could become an important minister next to Wei Wangyu second only to Xinling Jun.
Of course, feng shui takes turns, and there is no if in history, and today's Duan Ganchong has absolute qualifications to command the visiting Wu Qinyi. After all, in the eyes of uninformed people, Duan Gan admired current affairs, took refuge in South Korea in time, and kept his fame and fortune. Among the courtiers of King Wei Zhao and King Wei Yu, Duan Ganchong was the most beautiful. As for Wu Qin, he is just an outdated old minister, or the kind that is about to die.
But in Duan Ganchong's eyes, his surface scenery may not be as good as Wu Qin, who is unofficial and light! The position of the county guard of Dongjun is a bit hot, as a Wei person, but he has to accept the orders of the king of Han to govern the counties of Wei, Duan Ganchong is psychologically unwilling to accept it. But King Han's order was irresistible, and Duan Ganchong was greedy for wealth and nobility, so he could only do his duty against the infamy of the unwitting countrymen as traitors to him.
Duan Ganchong is naturally not a traitor of the Wei State, although in fact, Duan Ganchong has deeply harmed the Wei State! After meeting with King Han, Duan Ganchong finally knew why the Qin army's plan to attack Luoyang had failed, and why more than half of the 100,000 troops led by Jin Cong had been damaged under Xinzheng City.
After King Han deliberately released such a rumor. Duan Ganchong has clearly realized that he has no other way out than to play for South Korea. Otherwise, having lost power, angry countrymen who had illusions about Wei would tear themselves to shreds.
Duan Ganchong could only silently accept the "fact" that he had taken refuge in South Korea a long time ago. Fortunately, there was Lang Zhong who made Wei Qing, the new county guard of Dangjun, difficult for each other, and Duan Gan Chongcai found that life was not as bad as he imagined. As for Wei Wangyu, he learned that his two most favored ministers had accepted the appointment of King Han. What will be the reaction after becoming the county guard of Dongjun and Dangjun, Duan Ganchong no longer cares.
For today's Duan Ganchong, there is only the idea of becoming a king or losing a villain in his mind. If it is South Korea that finally dominates the world, he is the minister of the dragon, and with his own cleverness, he can't win a high position?! Those who laugh at themselves for their traitors are not going to crawl before them like dogs! What's more, there is nothing wrong with good birds choosing trees to perch on, and switching to South Korea by themselves. Jiang Ziya did not switch to King Wen of Zhou and help King Wu of Zhou overthrow the rule of the Shang Dynasty. Famous?!
Duan Ganchong, who recognized this, quickly put aside the frustration in his heart and began to think about how to govern Dongjun well and live up to the first important task given to him by King Han! As a Wei person, Duan Ganchong naturally knew that the Wu clan had influence in the local area, and he had no grievances with Wu Qin, so Duan Ganchong naturally treated the visiting Wu Qin with courtesy.
The two sides were seated, and Duan Ganchong said with a smile: "Mr. Wu is not resting in the manor outside the city, how can he have time to come to the city?" ”
Wu Qin's eyes narrowed. knew that Duan Gan Chong had seen through his own fears. The other party even knew the secret thing that he said he couldn't get sick and actually moved to a manor outside the city, and the local wealthy families of Nadong County all appeared on their manor. How can you hide it from each other?!
But the words on the scene still have to be said, Wu Qin pretended not to know, bowed his head and coughed a few times, and said bitterly: "Lord Lao is worried." The old man's body became more and more uncompetitive in the winter, and the city was in a panic, so he simply moved to his own manor. The picture is quiet. ”
Duan Ganchong actually "believed" Wu Qin's explanation, nodded and said, "What the old gentleman said is that the medicinal materials in the manor are all complete?" If it's not complete, the official will send someone to send it! The old gentleman is the third elder of Dong County, and he is in charge of education. Take care of yourself! Or if the official sent someone to Xinzheng to invite some famous doctors, the official heard that the Qin doctor of the Tai Hospital was very good at ancestral medical skills, and was known as the third Bian Que! If the old gentleman is willing, the official can go to the king and ask him to cure the old gentleman's stubborn illness for many years! ”
(Note: Bian Que's real name is Qin Yueren, because doctors treat diseases and save people, wherever they go, they bring health there, just like a flying magpie, wherever they fly, they bring good news there.) Therefore, the ancients used to call those doctors with excellent medical skills Bian Que. During the time of Emperor Xuanyuan, there was also a famous doctor named Bian Que. It can be seen that the Qin Yue people are already the second Bian Que; Bian Que also claimed that he was inferior to his two brothers, but he was the third in medical skills. From these two perspectives, the third Bian Que is already the greatest praise for a doctor! PS When I was in junior high school, I learned Bian Que to see Cai Huangong, Cai Huangong is Qi Huangong, however, this Qi Huangong is the Qi Huan Gong of the Tian family, not Xiaobai, the son of the Jiang family's Qi State, who appointed Guan Zhong to change the law during the Spring and Autumn Period. The Tian clan was a very important thing during the Warring States period, so if you are interested, you can check it. )
Wu Qin hurriedly politely refused, he had a heart disease, and if he let the world-famous Doctor Qin diagnose the disease, it would be a joke. What's more, heart disease also requires heart medicine. It's just that when did he become the third elder in charge of education, why don't you know!
Duan Ganchong didn't insist, just smiled and said, "This official is just about to send someone to congratulate Mr. Wu!" Now that Dongjun is preliminarily decided, it is the time for South Korea to employ people! Mr. Wu is highly respected and is the pillar of our East County. This official wrote to the king ten days ago, asking the king to appoint Mr. Wu as the third elder and take charge of education, and the king has agreed, and awarded you the title of cloud cavalry captain. From today onwards, we will be officials of the same dynasty and serve the king! Mr. Wu, congratulations, congratulations! ”
Wu Qin barely squeezed out a smile, now that the shape is stronger than people, King Han has made a will, can he still refuse?! Do you still dare to refuse?! If you can't help yourself, I'm afraid Doctor Qin will rush over to treat you! The only way to do this is to agree first, and take one step at a time.
"Xiaguan has seen Lord Junshou!" Wu Qin, who accepted the reality, changed from a lobbyist to Duan Ganchong's junior official in a blink of an eye, and when he met his immediate superior, he could only get up and salute again.
Duan Ganchong waved his hand and said with a smile: "The three elders don't need to be polite, I don't know what the three elders are looking for this official this time?" ”
Wu Qin groaned slightly, and said tentatively: "Xia Guan heard that the new law will be implemented in Dongjun, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”
Duan Gan Chong secretly said that the other party really came for this matter, presumably a few days ago, the local wealthy families of Dongjun gathered at Wu Qin's manor, just for this matter! Thinking of this, Duan Ganchong nodded and admitted: "But there is such a thing!" South Korea is strong because of the change! If South Korea does not implement new laws, how can it dominate the world? Dongjun already belongs to South Korea, for the sake of the people of Dongjun and for South Korea, it is natural to implement law changes! ”
After hearing this, Wu Qin shook his head again and again, and sighed: "The lower officials think that the time is not yet ripe, and the matter of changing the law should be slowed down!" ”
"Oh?" Duan Ganchong smiled, made an interested look, and asked rhetorically, "I don't know why the third elder said this?" ”
Wu Qin got up and gave a salute and said, "The Wei State is newly destroyed, and the Marquis of Wei is trapped in Anling. The reason why the king did not stop the society of Wei was because of the king's benevolence and righteousness, and he gave Wei Hou a place to sacrifice to his ancestors! However, those who believe that Lingjun is outside will inevitably try to restore the country! The county keeper should know that under the Putian, it is not the king's land; On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister. A considerable amount of land in Dongjun is in the hands of local wealthy clans, and if new laws are implemented, local tycoons will inevitably have different intentions, and killing them will damage the benevolence and righteousness of the king, and the people's hearts will become more and more uneasy. If you don't kill, you may be in trouble. It is better to slow down the implementation of the new law, and wait for the general trend of the world to stabilize, and then it is not too late to change the law. ”
Duan Ganchong nodded, acknowledging that this was a problem. There is a limit to how much land can be owned by a title, and these local tycoons who are accustomed to colluding with local officials to act as prestige and annex land under the rule of Wei will definitely bleed and lose a lot of benefits.
Naturally, they know that the land is state-owned, and they also understand what it means for South Korea to allow leases for up to fifty years. As long as there is no rebellion and no rebellion, the land will always be one's own. Belonging to the state is more of a nominal and legitimate, and King Han did this out of consideration for maintaining his own rule. It's just that for the local tycoons of East County, such a system would strip them of their privileges.
First of all, the tenant farmers, who were originally dependent on them, had their own land and could be self-reliant. If they wanted to continue to be big landlords, they had to convince the tenant farmers to lease land to them. And, every fifty years, something like this is repeated. Their leisurely status in politics is gone forever. If you want to restore your former superior position in politics, you need to contribute to Korea and obtain a certain title.
Second, they have lost the privilege of influencing the selection of local officials through their intertwined connections. Without power, without the land as a rallying basis for people's hearts, they are nothing more than much richer peasants! This directly speaks of them falling from heaven to earth! How can the local tycoons accept it?!
Of course, it is actually very simple to solve this problem, that is, South Korea rewards these local wealthy families with a certain title. With the title, the status of the wealthy families has gone up, and the amount of land they can own has increased, and they will naturally not make trouble anymore. However, in doing so, it violates the fairness of the new law and undermines the authority of the new law. If everyone follows suit, who will want to make meritorious contributions to South Korea! (To be continued......)
