Chapter 62 State and Family Affairs
Looking at the people in the hall who were biting the pen and frowning, He Bai was amused, this time the questions are not only ordinary middle-level officers and staff officers can answer, most of the questions are from the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Western Jin Dynasty in the past hundred years, some examples of the Three Kingdoms period, if you want to answer all or most of them, at least at the national level. Even the fledgling Zhuge Liang is afraid that he will bother with it, let alone them.
He Bai's move also wanted to tell Zhu Shizi not to think that he didn't know much about ancient culture, so he underestimated his own boss. Let them know that they don't have much knowledge on the surface, but the dry goods in their hearts are beyond your imagination.
He Bai believes that as long as he can answer the first three calculations, astronomy, and geography questions correctly, he will be a super-qualified staff officer. After a period of experience in commanding troops, it is not bad to be a military commander. If he can answer the five questions well, he will be able to do his job as a lieutenant. If there is such a talent, then He Bai will be overjoyed.
Time passed minute by minute, He Bai was closing his eyes and recuperating, thinking that there were only ten months before Dong Zhuo entered Beijing. Is it based on this Taiyuan County and seizing the entire land of the state? It is better to take this time to change places, in order to have more resources, change to a better development base, and get more opportunities in the competition for hegemony.
The advantage of Bingzhou is that it is close to the production area of war horses and the vast number of people who know how to fight, as well as the dangers of mountains and rivers, which is easy to defend and has the tendency to build from a high position. The disadvantage is that it has a population of only 660,000, and the production capacity is too low, and there is a major threat from the surrounding nomadic peoples.
If he really seizes and merges the state as a business, I am afraid that in the next four or five years, because of internal affairs, he will not be able to send troops to fight for world domination. Especially when the Southern Xiongnu and Hetao Xianbei were not really purged, I was afraid that I would be trapped in Bingzhou for the rest of my life and would not be able to move.
In other states, Youzhou is the world of Liu Yu, Gongsun Zhan, and Gongsun Du, because of the relationship between Gongsun Linglong, He Bai doesn't want to face Gongsun Chan early. There are Han Sui and Ma Teng in Liangzhou, and the situation is similar to that of the state, so it is not considered. Yongzhou was Dong Zhuo's own land, and there were too many soldiers and horses in the early days, so it was not easy to fight with him. Needless to say, Jiaozhou.
Shu is good, but surrounded by mountains, the lessons of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang tell the world that entering Shu is equivalent to falling into a desperate situation, and can only be settled in a corner. Yangzhou also has the disturbance of Shanyue, the economy at this time is not good, the deeds of the Sun family also show that Yangzhou at this time is by no means a good place, and since ancient times, there are few forces in the south to win the north.
In the Central Plains, Jizhou has long been Yuan Shao's target, and with Yuan Shao's huge political prestige and connections, he can't compete with him in the early days. Yanzhou's Cao Cao's ability is too strong, and He Bai is not easy to compete with him when he is not too sure.
Yuzhou is Yuan Shu's own place, in the early stage, there was a fierce man Sun Jian to fight with him, and in the later stage, with the help of Yuan's prestige, he could fight. Jingzhou has Liu Biao, but it is after the discussion of Dong. And it's hard to say that Liu Biao's ability is good, some say that he is strong, and some say that he is weak. Cao Cao's evaluation of him was that he was a dog guarding the household, but during Liu Biao's lifetime, he couldn't beat too much land. It can be seen that this dog guarding the household, when guarding his own house, should have the power of a rabid dog.
There is Tao Qian in Xuzhou, the power has been consolidated, and it is difficult to seize it in a hurry, and it seems that there is only one place in Qingzhou. Qingzhou is the land of the old Qi country, surrounded by the sea on three sides, with the help of Mount Tai of the Yellow River, the defensive position is good, and there are the benefits of fishing, salt and iron, and the population is as much as 2.9 million.
If you want to occupy Qingzhou, you need to do it when the Qingzhou Yellow Turban has not been completely launched. Otherwise, after the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, there will be a huge population of 2 million, and Qingzhou will become a piece of chicken ribs. It's a pity to discard the tasteless food.
He Bai nodded secretly, it seems that it is time to send someone to Luoyang to operate. Especially when the ten permanent servants still have great power, they get the post of a county in Qingzhou. It is better to have the majority of the population in Beihai Province or Dongnae County.
"It's ...... time," shouted a time-keeping Wang servant.
He Bai woke up from his contemplation at this time, looked up at the ladies in the hall, and saw that all of them were as dead as ashes, all of them were depressed, and they had lost their initial spirit.
Le Peng turned his head to look at everyone, wiped the cold weather, the beads of sweat that still appeared on his forehead, stood up, bowed deeply, and said: "Lord Duwei, your talent is outstanding, rare in the world. Most of the questions are something that we have never learned in books, and we are so shallow that we are basically unable to answer them. Lord Commander wants to summon us as adjutants, but I'm afraid that we won't be able to do it. ”
He Bai smiled secretly in his heart, but with a look of self-reproach on his face, he said apologetically: "No, no, it's not that you are only sloppy, but I have too high requirements for you." Most of the questions I came up with are things that have only been thought about by veterans in the court, and I propose at this time that it is really unfair to you and others who have no experience in politics and the military. In this case, you first submit the answer sheet to our office, and I will first hire all of you as professors, 30 stone a month, and you will help me teach first. Wait for me to slowly examine your actual ability, and then make a transfer, can you? ”
Le Peng glanced at all the gentlemen, and all the gentlemen immediately stood up in a knowing opportunity, and bowed their hands: "My subordinates meet Lord Duwei." ”
"Good, good, good." He Bai couldn't help but stroke his palms happily and laughed, this trip not only won the peerless beauty Xiao Diao Chan for nothing, but also got nineteen ancient high-knowledge talents, which can be regarded as a worthwhile trip.
He Bai collected the answer papers, and then slowly inspected them in the evening, summoned the little Diao Chan, who had been waiting in fear for a long time, and said goodbye to Wang Jing, the master of the Wang family, and led the guards and nineteen subordinate clerks to look at Jinyang together.
Le Peng rode on an inferior horse, looked at He Bai, who was riding a horse with the little sable cicada in front of the queue, and sighed: "Lord Duwei is full of talent, and without the help of his family, he was in a high position of more than 2,000 stones at the age of twenty-three, which is not without a reason." ”
Zhu Mian nodded and praised: "Indeed, if Lord Duwei has the help of his family background, even if he is the position of the third prince in this life, it is an idle matter to take it." Even without the help of his family background, it is easy for him to become a general in the court one day, but it may take a little longer. ”
Le Peng smiled: "I want to follow Lord Du Wei from now on, I don't know what Jingzhi thinks?" ”
Zhu Mian pondered for a while, and suddenly smiled: "There are too many people in the Wang clan, and there are not a few young heroes, I don't have too outstanding talents, I am afraid that I will not get anything by following the Wang family, it is better to follow Lord Duwei, and I can gamble on a future." ”
"Yes, yes, yes. Brother Zeng," Lepeng turned to look at Luo Pei again and asked, "What do you think about it?" ”
Luo Pei still had a sad face, and when he saw Le Peng's inquiry, he asked rhetorically: "Does Lord Du Wei know about the twenty problems he asked?" Or is he trying to use this as a reason to find available talent for him? ”
Le Peng glanced at Luo Pei strangely and asked, "Even if Lord Du Wei doesn't know everything, he will know most of the things, otherwise how can he judge our talents?" Lord Commander was originally looking for talents with this, but I am only shallow in my studies, and I can't answer. What's the difference? ”
Luo Pei shook his head again and again: "No, you don't understand. The matter ...... Alas, I'd better personally consult Lord Duwei, if it's really like my thoughts......" Luo Pei suddenly laughed and said, "Lord Du Wei is really my Lord Luo Pei. ”
As soon as He Bai returned to the Governor's Mansion in Jinyang City, he saw a servant who claimed to be from the Zhen family in Zhongshan come to pay a visit. He Bai asked, "Who are you from the Zhen family?" Why did you come to me? ”
The servant bowed and said, "The villain greets my uncle, and the villain is Zhen Ge, the son of the Zhen family." The villain came this time to give good news to his aunt, who had given birth to a young lady on August 15, and Madame, Madame Man, and Madame Qi on September 17, September 19 and September 23 respectively. When the villain came, Mrs. Gongsun was also about to give birth, but Mrs. Anova had a letter to send to her uncle, so she didn't wait any longer. ”
He Bai couldn't help but be happy and worried when he heard the words, and he was happy that as soon as he got the news, he was the father of four babies. The worry is that Anova, as a wife, gave birth to a daughter, and the other three concubines gave birth to three children. This is not much in the future life, but in this life, it will indeed lead to a future dispute between the concubines and the big question of who will be the heir. But it's still a long time, so let's figure it out slowly in the future.
He Bai took the letter and opened it to see it, but it was written by Zhen Jiang, who was dictated by Anova and was a little good at writing. The letter read: Gongsun Zhan knew that his sister Gongsun Linglong had been abducted by He Bai, so he ordered his cousin Gongsun Fan to lead the troops to Zhongshan Zhen's dignitaries. But after seeing the pot-bellied Gongsun Linglong, Gongsun Fan was also embarrassed, and he didn't listen to the order to forcibly rob people.
Gongsun Fan ordered someone to repay Gongsun Zhan, and when Gongsun Chan learned about it, although he was furious, he had no choice but to order Gongsun Fan to negotiate with He Bai. However, He Bai was far away in Taiyuan County, and the Taihang Mountains were cut off by Black Mountain thieves, and there were many inconveniences in the detour, so Gongsun Fan negotiated with Anova. Anova agreed, and from then on voluntarily gave up the position of his wife, gave the position of his wife to Gongsun Linglong, and asked He Bai to send Gongsun Linglong's dowry to Liaoxi as soon as possible, thinking that it would make up for the loss.
After He Bai saw the letter, he was angry at Gongsun Zhan's domineering, Gongsun Fan's insidiousness, and even more rejoicing at Arnova's generosity. Although He Bai was unhappy with Gongsun Zhan's actions, he also knew that it was wrong for him to kidnap Gongsun Linglong, and it was retribution at this time.
And in the future to dominate the world, it is indispensable to need the cooperation of Gongsun Chan in Youzhou, with Gongsun Linglong as his wife, which also has a lot of benefits, and it seems that this matter can only be like this. It's just that this matter is too aggrieved Anova, she came to Han with herself, which is already inconvenient, and at this time, she has to let the position of his wife be small, and she is too aggrieved. In the future, I will definitely have to compensate for my good life.
