Chapter 276: Be a Good Man
At this banquet, Yang Chuan quickly made a decision: he would never let go of Guo Jie's portion, and he had to find a way to cook it into a snack of the Han Empire.
If the emperor, the court, the magnates, and the officials are the superstructure, the army is the thing that supports and protects the building.
However, these things alone are not really useful.
Yang Chuan stubbornly believes that the Han Empire, without the background of the common people, no matter how grand his narrative, how magnificent, and how exciting it is, it is nothing.
Guo Xie and his three thousand ranger brothers are not pure people, but compared to those big dogs in Chang'an City, they are still people at the bottom after all, and in this life, or in the next dozens of lives, I am afraid they will not turn over and be the master, pointing fingers and pointing at the country above the court.
In the final analysis, the Han Empire, in the next two thousand years, is actually just a game of customs clearance for wealthy families after all, even if the Ming Empire is like a bowl at the beginning and a rope at the end, isn't it still from the end of the micro and finally extravagant?
So, seeing this 'Guanzhong Ranger Guo Jie', Yang Chuan suddenly figured out one thing-
Since you are a Han chef, you can't pick and choose, just cook a few meals that meet your taste, if that's the case, you will eventually get tired of eating one day; Therefore, in addition to large meals and hard dishes, with a few flavored snacks, plus some desserts, drinks, fruits and other 'complementary foods', is the direction he should strive for.
So.
He changed his mentality, looked at Guo Xie very coldly, and continued to flicker...... cough cough, continue to enlighten: "Guo Jie, do you know, what is the original meaning of chivalry? β
Guo Xie had a dark face, and said very coldly: "Chivalrous and righteous, uneven, not enough?" β
Yang Chuan shook his head: "There are many injustices in the world, and when it is time to make a move, it is indeed chivalrous, even if Ben Hou is not a ranger, when he encounters some injustices, he may also act angrily, kill a few bad people, and give the weak a fair;
However, is this a hero?
Guo Jie, I have heard of your reputation, you are upright, righteous, and have clear grievances, you are indeed a man, even if you are called Guo Daxia, it is actually okay. β
After Yang Chuan raised himself, he poured himself a large bowl of wine and continued: "However, there are so many injustices in this world? In this world, how many places do you need Guo Daxia? The question is, can you handle it?
Therefore, in Benhou's view, the so-called great man is the meaning of the great man, so what does the so-called great man of chivalry mean? β
Yang Chuan's eyes were blazing, staring at Guo Jie's big black face, and he said slowly: "The great man of chivalry is just for the country and the people." β
When he had finished speaking, he was silent.
He is actually better at this kind of thing than Cao Xiang, but he is busy with specific affairs on weekdays, and he has always been cautious, for fear that pretending to be forced will be struck by lightning, he has always restrained himself......
Sure enough, the phrase 'the great man of chivalry, for the country and the people' was thrown out, not only Guo Xie was a little confused, but even Huo Quzhi, Sima Qian, Dongfang Shuo, Zhang Tang and others in the audience also fell into a long period of contemplation.
The great man of chivalry is for the country and the people.
The problem is that the way of chivalry is not high in the Han Empire, and even, there are many civil and military ministers and great scholars, and they have more than once admonished the court and the emperor, asking to sweep the rivers and lakes, and the horses to step on the spring and autumn periods, and directly erase those unstable factors.
How can this be done.
Chivalry violates the ban with martial arts, there is nothing wrong with this sentence, the question is, what level of 'ban' is the ban of your court? Only let the powerful family eat meat and drink wine, knock bones and suck marrow, but let the people of the world eat chaff and vegetables, live silently, and die quietly, just like the lamb to the slaughter?
This damn is too disgusting!
Yang Chuan slowly sipped the bowl of wine, casually observing the expressions of everyone in the seat, and was actually a little sad in his heart.
Except for Dongfang Shuo, it seems to have gained slightly.
The others, after some shock, gradually turned flat and even cold; Obviously, sentences like 'chivalrous man, for the country and the people' sound very uplifting, but in fact, in the eyes of the readers of the Han Empire, it is nothing.
"Go sick, what do you think?" Yang Chuan looked at Huo Quai's illness and suddenly asked.
"Listen to the boost, in fact, ......" Huo Quaijian's eyebrows frowned slightly, thought about it again, and said: "Actually, it's really a bit of a boost, and when I turn around, I'll tell those Yulin Erlang, the great soldiers, for the country and the people!" β
Yang Chuan was speechless for a while.
This fool, you can't talk nonsense or mess around, this sentence 'the great soldier, for the country and the people' reached Liu Che's ears, will there be any bad ideas popping up?
However, for a rather flavorful snack, Yang Chuan didn't care about thinking so much.
He casually glanced at Dongfang Shuo, set his eyes on Guo Jie, and said with a smile: "Ben Hou has eaten too much wine, and he is a little unscrupulous, talking nonsense, Guo Daxia, come and come, drink wine, eat meat." β
Guo Xie took a bowl of wine, but he was slightly distracted, and he didn't drink it, but frowned and asked: "Changning Hou, you scholars, I don't understand the words of a coarse person, can you explain it clearly?" β
Yang Chuan sighed and said, "Actually, Ben Hou just felt it. β
"Ben Hou came to Tuntian in Shuofang County and faced too many difficulties, whether it was money, grain, farm tools, or manpower, there was no shortage of them."
"However, in the final analysis, what Ben Hou lacks most at the moment is a grain protection team that can protect the achievements of Tuntian; If you think about it, over the Yin Mountain, it is the Mobei grassland, which is the nest of the Huns. β
"The current Shuofang County is barren, whether in the eyes of the imperial court or in the eyes of the Huns, it is just a pasture suitable for sheep and horses, but once we reclaim millions or millions of fertile land, and the harvested crops are piled up, will it become a piece of fat?"
"The cavalry of the Huns, in one or two days and nights, can enter Shuofang County, who will protect our food? Who will protect our people? β
After saying a few words, Yang Chuan himself was a little melancholy, and he couldn't help but pour himself several large bowls of wine, sighed, and continued: "The imperial army guarding Yanmen, Yunzhong, Dingxiang, Shuofang and Jiuyuan City is just a big move for the Huns.
Everyone here understands that the Hun cavalry will never confront the imperial army head-on, they will go deep into our Han border county, it is nothing more than a plunder, and they will flee away, what can the hundreds of thousands of troops of the imperial court do? I can only stare dryly. β
"Therefore, Ben Hou wants to organize a county soldier to keep an eye on the small group of cavalry of those Huns, once they come in and plunder, we can beat those wolves out of the and urine, so that they dare not step into Shuofang County half a step......"
After a big circle, he finally told his true intentions.
There is no way, the man in the Weiyang Palace in Chang'an City is too shrewd and too terrifying, although the county is too shou has the 'military power' to recruit county soldiers and maintain local law and order, but he has to find a proper excuse to make what he does seem logical and natural, this is the effect that Yang Chuan wants.
As for whether Guo should agree or not, is it important?
However, Yang Chuan's words seemed to have really touched Guo Jie's heart: "Marquis Changning, even if Guo wants to help you do this favor and protect the fertile fields and people of Shuofang County, but ...... A certain family has a heart but is powerless. β
Yang Chuan let out an 'oh' sound, turned his head sideways and asked, "Would you like to hear it?" β
Guo Xie sighed and said: "Don't hide it from Changning Hou, Guo has done a few things because he helped Lord Liu Lingweng, and now, his reputation is not very good, this is one of them;
Second, the good sect chief Ning Hou and everyone here know that I, Guo Jie, have long been reduced to a stateless savage, as long as someone denounces me, you can arrest me Guo Jie, go to Chang'an Mansion to receive a reward, and you can also sell Guo. β
At this moment, everyone's faces became exciting.
Unexpectedly, the world's largest 'head of the slave hunting group', Guo Jie, the hero of Guanzhong, turned out to be a stateless savage himself......
'Poof'.
Pingyang Hou Cao Xiang couldn't help laughing at first, pointed at Guo Xie and scolded: "You guy, you are a stateless savage, and you catch people and sell people all day long, hahaha, you said that you Guo Xie earned all the dirty money, can you sleep?" β
Guo Jie's face was blue and white for a while, and he arched his hand and said to Yang Chuan: "Since the business has been negotiated, it is inconvenient for Guo to stay for a long time, so I will leave......
Yang Chuan couldn't help but smile and waved his hand: "Don't be busy leaving, the deal between the two of us hasn't been negotiated yet." β
Guo Xie darkened his face and remained silent.
Yang Chuan turned his head to look at Zhang Tang and asked with a smile: "Zhang Tang, you are familiar with the laws and regulations of the Han Dynasty, if you want Guo to solve such a situation, do you have room for mediation?" β
Zhang Tang said coldly: "It's simple, he sells his body once and becomes a slave of someone else's family, and then asks the master's family to sign a document and abolish the previous deed of selling his body, so that he can get a clean household registration." β
Yang Chuan smiled and asked, "It's so simple?" β
Zhang Tang said expressionlessly: "How complicated does Changning Hou think? β
Yang Chuan smiled bitterly: "At the beginning, when Ben Hou returned to Han, he thought about selling himself to Zhang Qian first, and then asked him to issue a deed to return me to a clean household registration, but unexpectedly, God made people, Ben Hou was not only suspected and used by my Uncle Zhang Qian, he traveled all the way to the desert north to help him find his wife and children in the depths of the lost grassland, and was also locked in a cage by Sima Qian and starved for three days and three nights, almost ......killing people."
As he spoke, he glanced at Sima Qian, who had an ugly face, and continued: "It seems that Ben Hou was also unladylike back then. β
"However, it is nothing to suffer a little hardship and suffer some crimes, it is nothing more than to make Ben Hou make up his mind and work hard to make his official rank and title high, so that the people who pit me back then can only look up and no longer bare their teeth easily, hehe!"
Yang Chuan smiled and ordered Zhang Tang: "Zhang Tang, then write two deeds, and Benhou will give Guo Daxia a clean household registration today." β
Everyone present was stunned.
This kind of thing, how to say it, for the big dogs of the Han Empire, in fact, anyone can easily make a person a person, and in the same way, it can also make a person a pig and a dog in one sentence, and he can't turn over for a lifetime.
The problem is that in many cases, there is no burden on people to turn a person into a pig or a dog, or a human animal, and everyone is doing it anyway, and no one says anything about it.
As for making a person human......
None of us seem to have much experience.
Yang Chuan rubbed his cheeks a few times, and laughed: "Guo Jie, Guo Jie, Ben Hou will give you a clean household registration, if you old boy commits any unforgivable crimes, Ben Hou will be hurt by you." β
The Han law inherits the Qin law, and the emphasis is still on continuous sitting......
Guo Xie opened his mouth and stammered for a while, and then refused: "Changning Hou, you are so kind, I Guo Xie understands it, people like me are easy to violate the ban by force, Changning Hou has such righteousness, how can he harm you......"
Guo Xie was about to continue talking, but was interrupted by Yang Chuan waving his hand: "Zhang Tang, let's write the deed first." β
So, after a stick of incense.
The two deeds were signed with the names of Yang Chuan and Guo Jie, and at the same time, they also pressed their fingerprints, and the rest of the process was to send the two deeds to the county government yamen for review, filing, and archiving.
These jobs happened to be the scope of Sima Qian's authority, and Yang Chuan didn't say anything, so Sima Qian had a bitter face and worked on the spot......
Call!
The spell of hoop was put on this Guo Daxia, and in the future, it will depend on how this guy acts.
"Okay, Guo Jie, you now have a clean household registration, and you are a common person under the rule of my Shuofang County," Yang Chuan chuckled, and looked at Guo Xie with a smile: "Of course, it's not enough to have a clean household registration, Benhou is a good person and does good deeds to the end, so let's do it, I will give you 3,000 acres of fertile land, if you have a heart, sooner or later you will become my good family." β
This operation made the old Jianghu Guo Xie confused.
He arched his hand and asked, "Marquis Changning, you are helping me this time, but do you have someone to ask me Guo to?" β
Yang Chuan sighed and scolded with a smile: "What are you asking Guo Xie to do?" This Hou Gui is the Marquis of Guannei, and his official rank is even greater than that of Pingyang Hou Cao Xiang, with 20,000 or 30,000 county soldiers under his command, and he is still the military Sima of the Yulin Army, even if he wants to announce his personal vendetta to kill people, it seems that it will not be your turn Guo Jie, right? β
Guo Jie's face darkened for a while, and he opened his mouth to speak.
However, he still didn't say a word after all, to be honest, he was led by Yang Chuan to the rhythm, and he signed two deeds in a daze, and now he has become a 'good citizen' under the rule of Shuofang County?
WhyγIt's a little confusing!
Not only Guo Xie was a little confused, but even Sima Qian, Zhang Tang, Dongfang Shuo and others were also a little confused, and they always felt that Yang Chuan's actions were too child's play.
It's very unstable.
This was the unanimous idea of everyone present, however, Yang Chuan didn't seem to care, turned his head to Sima Qian, paid out of his own pocket, and bought a piece of 3,000 acres of watered land for Guo Jie, which was located on the edge of the big river twenty or thirty miles away from Shuofang City, which belonged to the first-class fertile land.
"Okay, the roasted whole sheep has been eaten, and the wine has been drunk, so you can go back and get busy."
After finishing Guo Jie's matter, Yang Chuan was in a good mood, stretched his waist and said with a smile: "From tomorrow, we will prepare for spring plowing and spring sowing, you guys will be busy first, Ben Hou will sleep well and then talk ......."
