Volume 3 Study Tour Chapter 229 Zhu Jun who is righteous and light on wealth
Huiji is named after Huiji Mountain. Legend has it that Xia Yu has the name of Huiji Mountain, which means accounting. "Historical Records" recorded a popular saying in the Han Dynasty: "Or Yan Yu will be the princes of Jiangnan, and the merit will collapse, because of the funeral, the fate will be Ji." Auditors, accountants too".
Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty built Wuzhong and changed Ye County to Dongye, and then analyzed the waiting officials. In the first year of Emperor Zhanghe, Huipu Township of Xiyin County was Zhang'an County, that is, Huipu County of the Western Han Dynasty.
Emperor Shun Yongjianzhong, Yang Xian ordered Zhou Jia and others to write a letter to seek the division of the county because of the vast jurisdiction of Huiji County and the remoteness of the county.
Yongjian four years, the analysis of the thirteen counties in the north of the Ji to Wu County. Wu County, the original seat of Huiji County, belonged to Wu County, so it was moved to Shanyin County.
In the third year of Yonghe, Dongou Township, Lizhang'an County was placed in Yongning County. At this time, Huiji County led fifteen counties: Shanyin, Cheng, Wusheng, Zhuji, Yuji, Taimo, Shangyu, Yan, Yuyao, Juzhang, Yin, Zhang'an, Dongye, Yongning, and Houguan.
Wu Yong wanted to travel in a low-key manner, but the news of his arrival in Wu County was still spread by the children of the Wu family. In order to avoid trouble, Wu Yong left Wu County overnight.
I didn't want him to just arrive in Huiji County, so he was sent by Taishou Yin Duan to invite him to the Taishou Mansion in Shanyin County. Cen Sheng followed Wu Yong in Luoyang for three years, and he is quite familiar with today's Han officialdom.
At this time, Yan Zhan drove the carriage to follow the people from the Taishou Mansion, and Cen Sheng introduced the origin of Yin Duan, the Taishou of Huiji County, to Wu Yong in the carriage.
"Speaking of which, this Yin Duan can also be regarded as a celebrity in Liangzhou...... "Yin Duan, a native of Liangzhou, was recruited by Wuwei Taishou Zhang Huan for a long history because of his bravery, and later because of his meritorious service in fighting with the Qiang people, he was promoted to Sima of other departments.
In the spring of the tenth year of Emperor Huan's reign, Dongqiang and Xianlingqiang five or six thousand cavalry attacked Guanzhong, surrounded Qixu, and plundered Yunyang; In the summer of the same year, the Qiang people re-attacked two battalions and killed more than 1,000 people; In the winter of the same year, the same kind of people in the east Qiang shore and the tail waki, reinstated the banknote three auxiliaries.
At this time, Zhang Huan, who served as the general of the Huns, sent Sima Yinduan and Dong Zhuo to attack, defeated the Qiang people, beheaded their leaders, captured more than 10,000 Qiang people, and achieved peace and stability in the Sanfu region.
Zhang Huan was meritorious because of his broken Qiang, and he applied to move his home from Dunhuang Yuanquan in the border county to Hongnong Huayin in the interior, and obtained permission from the imperial court.
Yin Duan was also promoted to the post of Huiji Taishou because of his meritorious service. Speaking of this, Cen Sheng sighed with emotion: "In recent years, due to the staggered avoidance stipulated in the 'Three Mutual Law', the taboo is too strict, which often leads to a difficult situation. The history of thorns and Taishou in the two states of Youzhou and Hebei have not been filled for a long time. The election of the three governments is uncertain for more than a month. Therefore, those who have been indecisive for a long time are all because they avoid three mutuals, and there are prohibitions in eleven states, so they should take two states. "During the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were clear regulations on the recusal of officials from their place of origin.
Not only is the recusal system quite strict, but the scope of recusal is constantly expanding. In addition to the recusal of the magistrate from his or her home address, the matrimonial family must also recuse from each other's place of origin, and the two states are not allowed to supervise each other.
Emperor Huan's place of origin avoided expanding the scope of restrictions, and the taboo was stricter, and even formulated
"Three mutual laws". The specific content of the three-mutual law is that the marriage family and the people of the two states are not allowed to interact as officials.
The summary is as follows: If a person from State A is an official in State B, and a person from State B is an official in State C, then a person from State C must recuse himself from State A, State B, and State C.
As he walked, Wu Yong and his entourage soon came to the Taishou Mansion in Shanyin County. Wu Yong's arrival made Taishou Yin Duan overjoyed.
He excitedly greeted the door and treated Wu Yong as a guest.
"Wu Shiyu can come to the cold house, it's shining!" Wu Yong looked at Yin Duan and saw that he was about forty years old, with an elegant appearance and a tall figure.
Unlike the scholars of later generations, the scholars of the Eastern Han Dynasty did not have pure scribes, but both civil and military training.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Wang Lang and Kong Rong, who looked like weak chickens in TV series, actually learned swordsmanship and could go into battle to cut people.
"Boy Wu Yong, I've seen Lord Yin!" Wu Yong respectfully stepped forward and saluted.
"Wu Shiyu, he is really good-looking, a talent! Hahaha~" Yin Duan looked at Wu Yong and did not hesitate to praise and encourage him.
"Lord Taishou is too prestigious~" Wu Yong was modest, and then asked: "I don't know if the adult recruited the boy, what is the so-called matter?" Yin Duan smiled: "Without him!" This recruitment is only for two things. One is to meet the world-famous Wu Shiyu, and the other is to thank the people of Liangzhou for Wu Shiyu's teaching. Wu Yong was stunned for a moment, not understanding where his gratitude came from.
Yin Duan then opened his mouth to explain: "It's because of cotton and sugar beets!" Wu Yong suddenly realized, it turned out to be these two crops!
So he smiled and said: "The credit is not enough!" Lord Taishou is so enthusiastic that the boy is really embarrassed. Yin Duan shook his head and said, "Wu Shishu has lived in the Central Plains for a long time, and he may not understand the importance of this cotton and sugar beet to the people of Liangzhou. "In the past, because of the barren land in Liangzhou, the grain production was limited, and the people's lives were also poor.
Especially in winter, because of lack of food and clothing, people often freeze to death. But this year, because of the popularization of sugar beet and cotton in the imperial court, Liangzhou suddenly became different.
It turned out that those who refused to plant because of their low vision immediately regretted the cotton clothes and syrup made after the cotton and sugar beet were harvested.
The cotton clothes are strong and warm, and the yield of syrup is extremely high. As a result, these items sold quickly in Liangzhou, and the people's harvest in one year was worth several years.
Especially those big clans in Liangzhou, who occupy a lot of land. Now with these two crops, they will no longer be the existence that the Central Plains Shi clan looks down on in the future.
Wu Yong, as the soul of later generations, certainly knew the importance of cotton and sugar beets to the northerners. Native to the western and southern coasts of Europe, transplanted from Sweden to Spain, sugar beets are a major source of sugar in addition to tropical sugar cane.
Moreover, the cultivation of sugar beet as a sugar crop began in the second half of the eighteenth century in that world. Therefore, where do the current northern Han people know the usefulness of this cotton and sugar beet, most of them have never seen it before!
Wu Yong had to teach many Han Chinese in the north how to grow sugar beets and learn to grow cash crops such as cotton, so that even if they could not grow food, they could exchange it for grain from the producing areas, thus reducing the risk of starvation.
Just like in the early days of the founding of New China, the country's industrial base was weak, its agricultural strength was not strong, and the farmland with extremely low yield had to grow grain to ensure the need for food, and survival was the first element.
Only a limited number of fields can be used to grow cotton and sugar beet. Meet the needs of the people for clothing and food! Therefore, precious cotton and sugar were also important strategic materials at that time!
Wu Yong listened to Yin Duan's statement, and thought a lot in his heart. With sugar beets and cotton, he believes that even in the face of troubled times, the people's lives will be better in the future.
After a while, a sumptuous banquet was set up in the house, Yin Duan and Wu Yong sat down, Cheng Zhao was also taken by the servants to the backyard maids, and Cen Sheng stayed to accompany him.
Yin Duan saw that Cen Sheng was a little uncomfortable, and sent someone to call his master Bo to accompany him. After a while, a young man with a thin face entered the door, led by a servant.
Seeing that Yin Duan was feasting, he was stunned for a moment before he arched his hand: "I've seen Lord Taishou." ”
"Gongwei is here! Let me introduce you to it. Yin Duan smiled and introduced: "This is the current Son of Heaven Wu Yong and his staff Cen Sheng." After that, Yin Duan introduced Wu Yong again: "Wu Shiyu, this is Zhu Jun, the lord of this county, my right-hand man." "Zhu Jun?
Isn't that a leading commander in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms who quelled the Yellow Turban Rebellion? is a famous general on the same level as Dong Zhuo and Huangfu Song!
It turns out that this big guy is from Huiji County, and he was once Yin Duan's subordinate? So Wu Yong smiled and said: "Lord Yin's master is thin, his bearing is extraordinary, and his future achievements will definitely be immeasurable. Zhu Jun was neither humble nor arrogant: "Xiaguan Zhu Jun has seen two nobles. Yin Duan nodded, and explained with a smile: "I hit it off with Wu Shiyu, there are still many things to discuss, and I am afraid of snubbing his staff. As he spoke, he beckoned Zhu Jun to the table,
"You can sit down too, don't be restrained."
"Yes, sir." Zhu Jun responded and sat down next to Cen Sheng.
"Serve!" With Yin Duan's command, the banquet also began. In the staggered meeting, everyone talked happily.
During the banquet, Wu Yong asked Zhu Jun's family background by the way. Zhu Jun didn't hide it, and replied one by one.
It turned out that Zhu Jun was a native of Shangyu County, Huiji County, and was born in a cold family. His father died when he was a teenager, and his mother used to sell silk as a family business.
Although he was a businessman who was despised by scholars, Zhu Jun was extraordinary since he was a child, and he was famous for his filial piety to his mother.
When he grew up, Zhu Jun was a good person and a righteous person who was light on money, so the villagers respected him very much. Due to the special living environment, Zhu Jun has a strange character, which is very good
"Light wealth and good righteousness", to say that it is not good, it is to have a good face and increase its strength. Once, Zhou Gui, a scholar from the same county as Zhu Jun, had borrowed millions of dollars from the government to decorate his clothes when he was requisitioned before.
Later, Zhou Gui could not repay it because of his poor family. After Zhu Jun learned of this, he used his mother's silk to pay off Zhou Gui's debts.
When his mother learned about this, she was very resentful and blamed him for being too loser, and not knowing the high cost of firewood, rice, oil, and salt.
Zhu Jun comforted his mother with the truth that he was poor first and then rich, and calmed his mother's anger. After hearing about this incident, the county governor of Shangyu County at that time saw that Zhu Jun was a talent, so he recommended him to Wei Yi, the Taishou of Huiji County.
As a result, Zhu Jun began to serve in the county. After Yin Duan took over the post of Taishou, he also admired Zhu Jun very much, so he promoted and appointed him as the lord of Huiji County.
Generally speaking, the head of a county is appointed by the imperial court, and the county lord Bo who assists the Taishou in ruling is mostly recruited by the Taishou to serve as the son of a local family.
In this way, the county Taishou can borrow the power of the local heroes. Yin Duan used a son of a poor family to serve as the county lord, and he inevitably offended those powerful families.
That's why those heroes are secretly making trouble. Zhu Jun did not live up to Yin Duan's trust, and he was very serious in his work, so that people could not make mistakes.
Wu Yong didn't expect that Zhu Jun, a famous general in the late Han Dynasty, would have such an experience in his early years.
So he smiled and said to Zhu Jun: "Today's gathering is fate, and if you encounter any difficult things to solve in the future, you can go to Luoyang Houfu to leave a letter." During the banquet, after Yin Duan's continuous praise, Zhu Jun also knew Wu Yong's feat of caring for the world, and he was also very impressed in his heart, and immediately patted his chest and promised: "In the future, Wu will read but have orders, and he will go to the soup and go to the fire." ”
