Chapter 12, Rabbit Dead Dog Cooking

Because of this, Wei Xunwei was not low, but because he was a concubine, he was not valued by the family, and he was only sent to engage in maritime trade. Therefore, he didn't have any thoughts at first, just pondering the income from commerce, ninety percent of it was paid to the clan, one percent was kept for himself, and he struggled for decades, but it was not expensive, but there was no problem with being rich, and when the time came, he bought a few acres of good land, which could be passed on to his descendants.

However, when Shixun was conquering Liaodong, he mobilized sea ships to escort the coast, because one of the ship's owners was guarding a soldier, and he was entrusted with the task of commander. Wei Xun was greedy for a while, left his post without permission, and almost smashed the errand, but after rushing back, he was a blessing in disguise, and broke the Liaodong Navy near Chrysanthemum Island. During the battle, Wei was frightened half to death and almost abandoned the army and fled, but when the battle was over, he became excited-it turned out that this is the feeling of water warfare, interesting, interesting.

Wei Xun is less than 30 years old this year, and young people are most greedy for novelty and excitement, especially these maritime merchants, who have a stronger psychological tolerance for risks than others, and can defeat the enemy, and can't help but excite all their enthusiasm. After that, he was ordered by Xiahou Yuan to transport grain and straw by sea, and strongly supported the war of Xun and Liao. After returning to Youzhou, you will be rewarded for meritorious deeds, and you will not be punished if you set up the enemy at first, so that the enemy will cut off my back road, and then you will break it, and you will be punished for the crime; As for the merit of carrying grain and grass, it shall be rewarded—say, what do you want? Do you want money, land, or fame?

What did Wei Xun hear? Can you still get fame? He knelt on the spot. Yes Xun said that I will give you two road options: first, I recommend you to go to Jingshi Taixue, and after you complete your studies, you may be able to teach Lang - don't think about filial piety, I have a limited number of places in my hands, and it is not your turn; Second. I'm going to formally establish a marine division. You have experience in naval warfare. I can make you governor.

In these years, most of the officials in the prefecture and county were self-appointed by the governors, and some of them had official titles, such as supervising the post, don't drive, etc., but there were also many temporary settings, and there was no grade specified by the imperial court. This kind of position, in fact, to put it bluntly, is still a guest of the chief. It's just a chance that when the commander is transferred or promoted, he will have an official title. Besides, in troubled times, civil service is not as good as military position, if you really want to be able to make military achievements, the chief can sponsor the imperial court, and you will have the opportunity to officially embark on the eunuch journey.

So Wei Xun agreed and said that I am willing to serve the water master and the envoy - go to Taixue? With these two brushes, no matter how hard I try, I can't read the results.

So Shi Xun appointed Wei Xun as the commander of Bohai Sea, and asked him to cooperate well with Liu Jie, the captain of the harbor. Do your best to train the water master out of a look. Wei Xun is also smart, although he doesn't understand how to train a sailor. But the usual training of sailors was understood after all, so the recruited sailors, on the one hand, practiced watching the wind, using the rudder, handling the oars, carrying sails, and swimming, and then picked the strong ones, practiced bows and arrows, throwing (baking), fighting, and releasing the levers.

Besides, after Xun made a plan, he waited for Cao Cao's reply with peace of mind. After waiting for more than ten days, I first received a letter from Cao Cao, saying that the front line was difficult and difficult to advance, and tentatively said Hongfu, how about you come to Nanyang to help me? This was originally Jia Xu's plan, if Xun took the initiative to ask to resign from the post of Youzhou Assassin and go to assist Cao Cao, but Xun was shocked, and said that the front line was really so miserable? Looking at the tone of Cao Cao's letter, there will be at least half of the red cliff! Hurry up, it's better to act than to move, and I'll lead the boat division south!

In fact, Cao Cao had to wait for several days before he received a plan from Shi Xun asking to disturb the enemy by sea, and then waited for Xun You, Jia Xu and others to discuss and allow him to play, but the letter was still on the way.

It's Xun who can't manage so much, Keri set sail and set off for the south. He entrusted all the government affairs of Youzhou to Sima Yi, and all the military affairs to Xiahou Yuan, and he only took Zhuge Liang, Guo Huai, Qin Yi, Shi Jun and others, and twenty sea ships were sent directly to Dengzhou.

In advance, you have your own boat as a guide, and you will be notified of the place. The boat went to Huangxian in the next day, threw down the iron anchor, and was Xun and Jun who abandoned the ship and went to meet Dengzhou Thorn Shi Shiyi.

The four counties of Dengzhou: Donglai, Changyang, Buqi, and Beihai, the state was originally set up in Jiaodong, an important town in Beihai. But later, it was Xun Thorn Shi Youzhou, vigorously developing maritime trade, Donglai County Zhihuang County became more and more prosperous because of its good port, and the merchants were divergent, and Shi Yi simply moved the state to govern it. The reason is that it was Xun who wrote a letter to teach him a set of methods for collecting business taxes, and how to squeeze as much oil out of merchants as possible under the premise of ensuring prosperity - "Qingdeng has repeatedly experienced wars, the people have fled, and the fields are barren, and now the taxes are paid by the merchants, but the farmers can also be interested", Yi felt that it made sense, so it was natural to place the government in the most convenient place to collect business taxes.

So this time, since Shixun and Shijun landed in Huangxian, they must go to see Shiyi - if Yiyi is still in Jiaodong, he will definitely not go, there is no leisure. The group landed in the afternoon, rested outside the city for a night, and entered the city the next morning to pay respects. When I went to the Assassin's Office, I made a notification, and I opened the door to greet him.

All the brothers in the family have already come out, except for the eldest is the author, that guy can only read dead books and has no practical ability, Shi Yi simply uses the excuse of needing his children to serve, and always takes him with him. I once begged my father, you give me a filial piety, but the result is that you don't have a good face, and you kid is not qualified! If I don't return it as an official in the court, now that you are a thorn in history, whether I raise you, or ask other states and counties to raise you, it is all favoritism. Do you think it will be good for you for Daddy to leave a reputation as a cronyistic mediocre?

is to retreat and seek the second, saying that Daddy is now qualified enough, then go to the court and shade me as a lang. What is the urgency that Yi said, I don't discipline and discipline you while I'm still alive, and when I take my breath one day, you will become a man in the court, and as a result, you won't be able to do anything except read the book of death, won't the face of the family be lost to you? Let's wait a few years.

There is no way to do it, so I have to stay by my father's side to have children with peace of mind, and be a chance to pass on the lineage. Fortunately, his only interest is reading, since he built a bookstore, but there is a new book, Cao Cao is to be offered, and the Son of Heaven cannot be left behind, as for his uncle is Yi, that is the third thing that needs to be considered. It is in the Yifu, and now there are a lot of books, which is enough to pass the boring time every day.

Let's say that the father, son, uncle and nephew reunited after a long absence, and they couldn't help but cry with joy when they looked at each other. Immediately set up a family banquet, and his wife personally cooked, sorted out a hometown-style meal for the uncles, and brought a large group of children over to kowtow to the two uncles - Yes Xun and Jun gave out countless money as a meeting gift. The gossip during the banquet is commonplace, and it is to say to Shixun that you are only one son and two daughters, far worse than me, for the prosperity of the clan, you have to have more lives; Shi Yi told Shi Jun a lot of principles about being an official, and asked him to follow Seventh Brother to do a good job; Yes Xun and Yes Jun persuaded Yes Yi together, you have to be served when you are old, and you are not ready to continue the string, then take a few concubines, Yes Yi pointed at it, saying that I am a foolish and beautiful woman by my side, what do you want a concubine to do?

After three rounds of drinking, I finally got down to business. Shi Xun didn't come by empty ship this time, and he didn't know how long he had to stay in Guangling, and he couldn't always rely on Chen Deng for grain and materials - local protectionism was also very strict in those years, if he kept eating and drinking Xuzhou, even if Chen Deng didn't say anything, the Xuzhou officials would not give them a good look - so he carried some special products by the way, and planned to sell them here with Dengzhou first, and then change them into Dengzhou's specialties and ship them directly to Guangling.

Shi Yi said that this is no problem, Huang County's business has developed recently, and I can eat no matter how many goods you have, and whatever you need, I can do it for you within three days. After finishing it, he suddenly frowned, lowered his voice and said to Shi Xun: "Hongfu, you set Liaodong in the past, and now you are in the south to attack Wuhui, the position is both respectful and high, so you have no worries?" ”

Shi Xun smiled slightly, he understood what Shi Yi meant, he was afraid that his high merit would shock the master, and when the world was too peaceful, it would inevitably be the disaster of "rabbit dead dog cooking". In fact, he has not considered this problem, but as long as he thinks about it deeply, he can see that this is not a difficult hurdle to overcome.

"The birds are all gone, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooking", similar situations are not uncommon in Chinese history, but if you analyze the specific problems in detail, you will find that they are often mixed with other reasons, which are not covered by the words "high merit and high shock". That is, in terms of the source of this language, Gou Jian kills the literary species, although there is a suspicious side, but also because the literary species was not a Yue nobleman, he is a Chu person, and he has only been mixed for one generation, and his foundation is shallow, so it doesn't mean that he will be slaughtered? Jin has Liuqing, Qi has Gao, Guo, and later Tian, Lu has Sanhuan, no matter how to shock the lord, who does the monarch dare to move?

Let's talk about Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, he punished Han Xin and Peng Yue, in fact, strictly speaking, it was not to kill heroes, but to kill kings with different surnames. The disaster of the king with a different surname, did you see less when Chu and Han were fighting? Liu Bang himself also started with a different surname Wang. Zhang Liang, Xiao He, Fan Xu, Zhou Bo, those who are not kings, how many do you see he killed?

Speaking of which, crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, going to the house to draw a ladder, cooking a dog when the rabbit dies, and can't find any other reason to whitewash, then there is only one Zhu Yuanzhang. But the centralization of power in the Ming Dynasty has reached its peak, and it is difficult for you to find a second emperor with unlimited power like Lao Zhu - even the prime minister does not want it at all, the monarch directly controls the six ministries, who else dares to do it?

In these years, Cao Cao dared to kill and may have a great future in the future, but Zhou Budo, who is still a child at the moment, may not dare to kill the minister because of his high merit. Besides, no matter how much he makes meritorious contributions, it can't compare to Xun Yu who sits in the center, the world has not yet been decided, do you need to consider this kind of problem?

You see, if Han Xin hadn't blackmailed Liu Bang to make him king many times, and when the world was calmed down, he would resign as the king and give up the army directly, how could he fight, and Liu Bang wouldn't have found an excuse to kill him. No matter how rogue he is when he fights the world, after winning the world, Liu Bang has to have a little face, not to mention Cao Cao.

So Shi Xun didn't take Shi Yi's words to heart, and of course he didn't give detailed examples, but just smiled faintly and said Uncle, don't worry, I will take care of my own protection. Now except for the eldest brother, the brothers have all come out, if the next generation grows up and is also an official, then I will be as safe as Mount Tai.

Yeshun is disgusted with the clan, but that doesn't mean he won't try to make the Shishi clan a new world-famous surname of the fourth and third dukes - his ass has long been crooked. (To be continued......)
