Wei County, Guangping County.

Jizhou land, the door of the scholar clan is very many, the branches are huge, each has its own basic plate to adhere to, among which the land of Wei County, from the south of Zhangshui, the east of Yecheng Guangping, Feixiang, the land of Guantao, to the Fu family first.

The current father-in-law of the Fu family is Fu Zhu.

Like Tian Feng, Fu Zhu is also a Maocai from Jizhou, with a family history, and his family has studied "Dai Shengli" for generations, and he can become a Maocai in a state, and his own ability and the political energy of the family behind him are naturally not to be underestimated.

Today's frustration is entertaining a heavyweight at home - Tian Feng.

As a Maocai of a state, Tian Feng and Fu Zhu met, not like others to indulge in wine, but in the small pavilion in the courtyard of Fu Zhu's house, set up a chessboard, heat a pot of grass soup, play chess, and talk about all things in the world.

"A billion dollars?" Frustrated with a sunspot, he looked at Tian Feng in a little surprise: "Is it the new envoy of Jizhou who said it to Brother Yuan Hao?" ”

Tian Feng held a white piece in his hand, turning it between his fingers, his eyes stared at the chessboard tightly, and said, "Hehe, if I didn't hear it with my own ears, how could I talk about it?" You know me, Tian Feng has never been in vain, and what can be said from my mouth will not be wrong. ”

With that, he rolled up the sleeve of his right hand with his left hand, reached out and reached forward, and landed the white piece on the chessboard.

"Gonghe thinks, what is the meaning of this move?"

"Less." Fu Zhu smiled faintly: "If I am in my position, I should open my mouth and ask for five billion yuan, hahaha." ”

Tian Feng seemed a little surprised: "Why? ”

"If you can't come here left or right, why don't you want more?"

Tian Feng frowned: "Don't make such a joke!" ”

Frustrated Zhu once again landed a sunspot on the chess card, and said: "Yuan Hao misunderstood me, I didn't mean to joke, but a solid word, a billion money, for Liu Yuanjun, it is just a superficial temptation, this gentleman is not here, I want to have a future move." ”

Tian Feng sighed: "Gong and this are similar to me, although this Liu Yuanjun is young, he is not an ordinary person. ”

"In the past, in Changshan, Liu Yuanjun cut off the means of the three wealthy families of Zhending, and set the situation in one fell swoop, so that the three families of Zhending did not have the slightest power to turn around, just this hand, it is beyond the reach of ordinary teenagers...... Now, he has come to Jizhou as a pastor, and the hopes of these four counties are afraid that they will not be able to live in peace. ”

Frustrated and smiled: "Everything should also be looked at from two aspects, this Liu Yuanjun has great ambitions, he came to Jizhou this time, in order to expand the fact, it is also common sense to do things in the well-dressed and huge rooms of various counties." But on the other hand, if Liu Yuanjun can take the throne in Jizhou, won't the clans who worked with him in Jizhou also benefit the world because of this? ”

Tian Feng raised his eyebrows and said, "He is already a shepherd, how else can he get out of the position?" ”

"Brother Yuanhao is a far-sighted and strategic person, why do you need to ask me about some things? The world's major events, isn't it not in the heart of Mr.? ”

Tian Feng's face was expressionless, and he glanced at the frustration: "It's time for you to fall down!" ”

"Oh! Ashamed, ashamed. ”

Frustrated Professor then picked up a black piece again, looked at it for a moment, and landed on the chessboard.

"It is rumored that among the Beijing divisions, the Son of Heaven is seriously ill, time is short, his relative He Jin is in charge of the army, and the eunuch is above the eight schools of Xiyuan, the land of Liangzhou, Huangfu Song, Dong Zhuo and other Kansai soldiers are holding heavy troops, today the son is under his knees, the two sons are young, and the queen is a butcher, and she has little knowledge.

Tian Feng stroked his beard: "If this is the case, our Emperor of Heaven, who serves as a shepherd in Jizhou, is really the top priority in this pattern." ”

Frustrated, he said: "Since the Yellow Turban Moth thief was exterminated, the thieves in the counties of Jizhou are rampant, the wild people are flourishing, and the Shihao has suffered heavy losses. I'm afraid the outcome is unpredictable. ”

Tian Feng said: "In this way, you seem to value this Liu envoy quite a lot? Could he have changed the situation? ”

Frustratedly said: "It depends on what kind of chess move Liu Yuanjun plays next, if he really has the heart to play a big game of chess!" What if someone is frustrated and helps him with all the power of his clan? But if he is not good at chess, I can't accompany him...... After all, my Guangping Fu clan is also a century-old scholar clan, and this foundation cannot be destroyed in my hands. ”

Just as the two of them were talking, they saw a servant in the Fu Mansion hurrying outside the pavilion.

"Father-in-law, the people over there in Yecheng have sent a message back."

With that, the servant handed a copy of the abridged reading to the frustrated.

Frustrated Professor took it casually and unfolded it.

He was just looking at it casually, but after looking at it for a while, he saw that his expression became a little solemn.

After looking at it for a while, he saw that he slowly put Jian Mu down, stared at the chessboard in front of him, and muttered: "Good chess." ”

When Tian Feng heard this, he also looked at the chessboard and said curiously: "Where is this move?" How did I not see it? ”

Fu Zhu shook his head with a smile and said, "It's not that this game of chess between you and me is good, but that Liu Yuanjun's game of chess is quite exquisite." ”

"Oh?"

Tian Feng looked curiously at the scroll in his hand and asked, "Can you borrow a certain view?" ”

Naturally, he would not be stingy, so he then handed the slip to Tian Feng.

Tian Feng looked at it carefully for a while and said, "This Hebei Business Association is quite novel, it's the first time I've heard of it." ”

Frustrated and sighed: "This Liu Envoy Jun doesn't seem to be in a hurry to form an army for the time being, nor is he in a hurry to ask for money, but he simply established this so-called Chamber of Commerce, which is still based on many cold families in Hebei, which is really a long-term layout." ”

Tian Feng sighed lightly: "Once this so-called chamber of commerce comes out, it is not clear what it will develop into in the future, and how much weight it will have in Hebei's industries, let alone whether it will have much impact on all ethnic groups." ”

Fu Zhu smiled: "But what is certain is that within five years, our pastoral office of Liu Envoy Jun should not be short of money." ”

"When this move, it can be seen that this Liu Yuanjun is a good chess player, such a masterpiece, I should worship him personally."

Tian Feng seemed to be slightly surprised and looked at Fu Zhu, and said, "Gonghe, when you go to see Liu Yuanjun at this time, do you mean to bow your head to the envoy?" ”

"Why can't you not bow your head?"

Frustration pointed to the slip and said: "Brother Yuan Hao should be able to see that now Hebei is a lot of businessmen and the Han clan has begun to move closer to this Liu envoy, in the past, a group of wealthy businessmen dominated by the Liu family of Zhuo County have monopolized Hebei Ma City, and now they have established a chamber of commerce, absorbing the cold men of Zhuzhou, and controlling the industry of salt, iron, grain and wood. ”

"This state is not too guarded than a county, the authority is very heavy, everything in the court and the central government is to be alone, Liu Yuanjun should have figured out how to make use of the identity of this domain town to determine all things in the state."

Tian Fengyan said: "At this time, if the clans hold their own identities and do not take the initiative to move forward, I am afraid that after the foundation of this chamber of commerce is built, if the family of the well-dressed scholars wants to enter it again, there will be no chance." ”

"Well, this is a heroic method!" Frustrated's eyes lit up a little: "What a heroic character!" ”

After that, he looked at Tian Feng, but saw that Tian Feng was not surprised, but was also smiling.

Frustrated and said suddenly: "It seems that Brother Yuan Hao has long had the intention of surrendering to the king, but he has not been able to get it?" Or is it the same as Frustration, intending to observe? ”

Tian Feng said with a smile: "Yes, it's just that Wei Jun and Julu Zhuwang clan, most of them should be reluctant to give in at this time, only you and I go to visit, will you blame others when you turn around?" ”

"The eldest husband should be bright and upright in the world, and his ambitions are in all directions, and if he has the heart to achieve great things with this new envoy, how can he do the things that are both ends of the rat and cower? You and I have never harmed the interests of all families, but we are sincere, is this also wrong? ”

After listening to the frustrated words, Tian Feng immediately stroked his palm and praised: "Gonghe can say this, which shows that I am a like-minded person, and I can't hide it, Liu Yuanjun asked for a billion money, I said it to the families in the four counties, no one agreed, and no one could analyze Liu Zhijun so pertinently." ”

"When change does not change, it suffers...... One billion is too much, but as a local patriarch, if you don't have a penny, wouldn't you have to make an enmity with Liu Yuanjun? At this time, others can be confused, Brother Yuan Hao and I, we can't be confused! ”

Tian Fengyan said: "After I left Yecheng, I have written back to Julu and ordered my family to collect money and goods...... The amount of goods that can be donated to the Pastoral Department shall be 30 million. ”

Frustrated with a sigh in his heart, Tian Feng's vision is really smart.

As a bridge between the Jizhou Zhuwang clan and Liu Jian, he communicates back and forth with each other for the two parties, and his behavior is impartial, but in fact, he has already let the family start to prepare goods, which shows that in his heart, he is still inclined to Liu Jian.

Fu Zhu and Tian Feng are both understanding people.

Nowadays, there are frequent wars in Jizhou, and thieves are flourishing, although the Jizhou Wangwang clan is close to each other and seems to be in the same spirit, but it is actually not solid in the season of crisis.

The signs of chaos in the world have appeared.

In this chaotic season, if you continue to stick to the old way of resisting the governor of the state and county, you will inevitably be unbearable.

Anyone can win when the local governor and the local dignitaries are pitted against each other, but there is no doubt that once they fight to the death, they will eventually lose both.

And the two heads of the county, Fu Zhu and Tian Feng, are still quite far-sighted.

Although they didn't know that the world would be "in chaos", with their unique vision, they were able to predict that the world would be "chaotic".

As for the extent of the chaos, it's hard to say, but it's definitely chaotic.

Since the world is about to be chaotic, as a state, you can no longer use those methods of dealing with things in peacetime.

In troubled times, since there is going to be chaos, there is bound to be a cost, and this cost cannot all be shared among the local government offices and other classes of people.

The era of a county hoping to only take benefits and not contribute is long gone.

In the era of gradual chaos, the well-dressed giant will inevitably have to pay a certain sacrifice.

Don't be afraid of sacrificing too much, once the troubled times have passed, and in times of peace, families that can follow the heroic monarch to establish themselves in the era of chaos will inevitably gain great benefits after the war is over.

The only thing that is uncertain is that once the world is in chaos, you must not follow the wrong person.

The cost of following the wrong person is very high! It will even lead to the decay and destruction of the clan.

But people leave their hometowns and are cheap, as the local county of Jizhou, once the world changes, their first choice must be Liu Jian, who has become the pastor of Jizhou.

If Liu Jian can really lead the local family to contribute to the imperial court in the future, then the family that follows him will inevitably take a step forward on the original basis.

Therefore, Tian Feng and Fu Zhu have been observing Liu Jian's actions.

After all, it's about the whole clan, so you have to be careful.

But after observation and analysis, this Liu Jian seems to have no problem!

……

Driven by ideas, Tian Feng and Fu Zhu went to Yecheng together to meet Liu Jian.

As the actions of the well-dressed warriors in Jizhou, the Guangping Fu clan and the Julu Tian clan can even become the vane of the Jizhou scholars.

Compared with Tian Feng, the weight of the power of the Guangping Fu clan of Wei County in Hebei is more important.

In history, after Yuan Shao took over Jizhou from Han Fu, he valued two people most to Jizhou.

One is frustration, and the other is trial.

When he was under Yuan Shao, he supervised the internal and external commands, and shocked the three armies.

When he was under Yuan Shao, he was in charge of the shogunate.

These two people, one is frustrated to accompany the army in every battle, and his prestige in Yuan Shao's army is very high, and the other is to serve as a counselor, acting for the rear government office of Governor Yuan Shao, and is in charge of logistics grain and grass.

The reason why the status of these two people is so high, talent is only one aspect, and more importantly, Yuan Shao reuses frustration and matching, also because the families of these two people can really help Yuan Shao live in Jizhou.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, no matter who was sent to the local area, it was inevitable that several local families would be reused in the early stage in order to be able to effectively manage the prefectures and counties.

For Liu Jian, it's the same.

However, after he came to Jizhou, he did not immediately throw an olive branch to these scholars.

Although this was an inevitable path to take in the early days in order to effectively hold power, Liu Jian could not give up the initiative.

It is important who goes to whom first, and who comes first to whom to show goodwill.

……

Frustrated's home is not far from Yecheng, and it only took him two days to come to Yecheng.

The prestige of the Fu family in the Wei County Shimen, Liu Jian is naturally clear.

And Liu Jian is also aware of his own ability.

If the Fu family and the Tian family can get closer to Liu Jian together, then Liu Jian will be completely established among the scholars in Hebei.

Of course, it is impossible for there to be no benefit transfer, which Liu Jian knows very well.

In the history books of the previous life, for the late Han Dynasty, the relationship between the local warlords and their subordinates and the strategists of the noble clans, most of the records are more poetic, similar to the people like Fu Zhu, Tian Feng, and Xianpei, and the history books only record that they sacrificed their lives for Yuan Shao, were loyal and righteous people, and died for the monarch.

But the history books will not record how many political interests these representatives of Jizhou are transferred to each other with Yuan Shao in their daily lives.

Loyal ministers and heroes have been there for generations,

But loyal ministers do not appear in vain.

There is no practical interest as a shackle, the two of them chatted casually for a night, chatting about the world, scattering the king's domineering, and leading the leader of the Shimen Gao clan to bow down and shout: "My lord is also!" ”

You can't say that there are no such idealized situations, but mostly in the political-military blocs of the lower echelons.

A generous righteous man who is willing to die for you is not born a generous righteous man who is willing to die for you.

Why did the monarchs and ministers of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms period have the most romantic and tragic colors?

Because the identity of this group's subordinate system is the lowest, most of them start from the end of the micro and work together in times of trouble.

Liu Guanzhang's life and death are shared, Zhao Yun and Liu Bei know each other, and Zhuge Liang's dedication is gone.

But now, if you want people like Tian Feng and Fu Zhi to have some romance with you, you can't say it's impossible, but it's certainly not easy.

……

When he arrived in Yecheng, Tian Feng introduced him to Liu Jian.

The head of the Fu family came to see him, and Liu Jian greeted him personally.

At this time, Liu Jian could probably guess the purpose of Fu Zhu's coming.

The monarch chooses the minister, and the minister also chooses the king.
