Chapter 109: A lot of convergence
"Your Majesty, Minister"
Xun Miao's face was full of tears at the moment.
Xun Miao is the great-grandson of Xun Shuang, Sikong of the Later Han Dynasty.
Born in a prominent background, the son of a super family.
But when he was very young, he lost his parents.
He was sent to his grandfather's house.
Zhong Xuan was very fond of this grandson and thought that he would definitely be able to establish an extraordinary reputation.
He was able to write at the age of ten, read the classics, and was talented.
It's just that life under the fence is not easy, especially when there is a jealous uncle who grows up.
After Zhong Yu died, Zhong Yu tried his best to teach him.
It's just that no matter how close he is, he can't be like his father after all, which has developed Xun Miao's almost cowardly character.
Xun Miao has been careful and vigilant all his life, in history, every time there is an edict he has participated in, even if it has been announced, he has never said it, not wanting others to know that he is involved, and his close people have persuaded him many times.
His brother Xun Liang once advised Xun Miao: "If you lose the trust of everyone, you should say it if you have done good things to others, so that there will be more people who are grateful to you." ”
But in the end, he refused on the grounds that he should be vigilant in doing things.
At this moment, he looked at the emperor blankly.
Since losing his father's protection, it has been difficult for him to straighten his waist anymore, and he often bends helplessly.
Say something insincere and try to protect yourself from any persecution.
He has said a lot of good things and flattered a lot of people.
But this time, he willingly bowed his head towards Cao Chao.
"Your Majesty Shengming!!"
Cao Chao pulled him up again, "Now, let's talk about your predictions." ”
"Liangzhou."
"There may be a drought in Liangzhou."
Xun Miao said, hurriedly took out those documents, quickly placed them in front of Cao Chao, and talked about the recent predictions of their Prepared Mansion.
Cao Chao frowned and looked at the many documents.
The drought is predictable, and the rainfall is clearly starting to decrease, which is a sign of this.
The historical drought in Liangzhou did not appear suddenly, it was a gradual process, getting drier and drier, until there was no harvest.
But puzzlingly, the Western Jin Dynasty at that time did little to make any decent moves to relieve the effort.
They didn't even transport food there, but rather sent troops there in a very puzzling way, saying that there might be a rebellion
They were quite accurate in their predictions!
It seems that the prelude to the great drought in Liangzhou is about to be opened.
Cao Chao took a deep breath and said solemnly: "You have to make a lot of preparations in advance, you will do this yourself!" Do it all! I will ask all the departments to fully cooperate! ”
"Yui!!"
Xun Miao then talked about his thoughts on prevention.
At this moment, artificial rain cannot be carried out, and Xun Miao did not say that he would propose to go to the sacrifice for rain or anything like that, he thought that it was necessary to build more water conservancy, carry out water transfer, build more reservoirs and reservoirs to store water, and at the same time set up more granaries in the local area, transport and hoard grain, and prepare for the migration of people.
Cao Chao listened to his story very carefully and thought it was true.
It wasn't until Xun Miao resigned and left that Cao Chao stayed alone in the East Hall.
He looked a little worried.
Although he can prepare from now on, he doesn't know how far he can go in the face of such a huge natural disaster.
Hopefully, I can defeat this scourge in the same way that I defeated the enemies of the past.
Next.
Zhong Hui was eating, looking at the thick paperwork that was placed aside, and then at Pei Xiu who was standing in front of him.
"That's so good."
"Every time, you have to wait until this time to do your best, can you become a famous minister like you?"
Pei Xiu didn't dare to say anything.
This guy is in power now, and if he wants to deal with himself, no one will be able to protect him except the emperor.
Zhong Hui ate unhurriedly, and then opened the paperwork that Pei Xiu had brought up.
He looked at it for a long time, then nodded slightly.
The plan that Pei Xiu is providing now is a little different from what he thought in history.
Historically, Pei Xiu chose to refine the title, further clarifying the inheritable and non-inheritable titles, and at the same time adopted a decreasing approach, based on the fifth-class title.
However, his plan at the moment is to refine and reduce the original lordship system, which does not include the clan.
Zhong Hui narrowed his eyes and looked at it several times.
Actually, this guy is quite talented.

The version he is coming up with now is also a disguised version of the historical title reform, because there is no fifth-class lord at the moment, and the eighth-class lord system is used.
At the beginning, Cao Chao set up the liehou, the marquis of Guannei, the marquis of the name, the marquis of Guanzhong, the marquis of Guanwai, and the five doctors to replace the twentieth rank of the Qin and Han dynasties, and later Cao Pi added the king and the duke.
Together, it is the Cao Wei eighth-rank lord system.
And decreasing does not mean that if you are king, your son will become a prince, because there are also superior and inferior within the same title.
Not to mention the king, the king is not in the decreasing range, just say the duke, the duke is also divided into the country, the county, the county, the township, etc., and the liehou also has the county marquis, the township marquis, the pavilion marquis, and so on.
Therefore, this decline must be organized and cannot be messed up.
Speaking of which, the knighthood system of the Great Wei is also strange and complicated, and it is not as easy to remember as the original twentieth rank lordship.
Zhong Hui looked at Pei Xiu, "How long will it take for a generation to descend to a lord and a townsman to become a commoner." ”
"Pei Xiu, Pei Xiu is at this time, do you still want to benefit the big clan?"
Pei Xiu immediately couldn't sit still.
If it was in the past, I would have admitted that I was making profits, but this time, I have clearly considered it from the perspective of the whole world, and this still says that I am making profits?
What's the matter, do you want to downgrade eight levels in one generation?
The father is a father, and the son is directly demoted to a concubine??
Look at the ministers everywhere or not!
Pei Xiu took a deep breath, "Shizhong, it's not that I have selfishness, but because this kind of decline is the most appropriate, you just took the township duke as an example, how many township dukes are there in Dawei?" Most of the dukes are given to the clan, you should look at it from the marquis, a county marquis who has made great contributions, if the descendants have not made meritorious contributions, it takes four generations to become five doctors, and five generations to lose the lord, I think it is more safe. ”
"Although Your Majesty's prestige is extremely high, it can't chill the hearts of meritorious people like this."
Zhong Hui subconsciously wanted to reprimand.
But for some reason, he hesitated again.
A man suddenly flashed in front of him, as if staring at himself and sighing.
Pei Xiu looked at Zhong Hui's face, which gradually returned to calm from annoyance.
"Improving it again, it's not that you have to be a hero, but you can't delay it too much, the three generations of Fuze are enough, and the fifth generation is a little too long."
Pei Xiu was helpless, but he also knew in his heart that this was already a concession made by this one, otherwise, it would have to be broken in one generation.
"I'll go back and make some changes."
"Give you fifteen days."
"Thank you."
"Pei Kai will arrange for me to be a lang first."
"Yui!!"
Pei Xiu left this place dejectedly.
Liu Yuan personally sent him out, and then returned to Zhong Hui's side.
"Teacher, in fact, I think what Pei Xiu said also has some truth, how many people in the world can be county marquis? If they can achieve this point, they will definitely have made great achievements, and there is nothing wrong with giving them more rewards. ”
Zhong Hui glanced at him and said with a sneer: "Once wealth lasts for a long time, it will breed all kinds of disasters. ”
"The first generation is a masterpiece, the second generation may be good, the third generation is arrogant and conceited, and then after that, it is to lose the face of the ancestors, this is not to protect their descendants, this is the way to take trouble."
When Zhong Hui was drinking with Cao Chao, he heard Cao Chao talk about the evolution theory of the children of the big clan in a joking way.
Zhong Hui deeply thought of this, but he felt that he was the first generation and his brother was the second generation, because his brother inherited his father's title, and he himself did not belong to him and opened a title on his own.
Similarly, Cao Chao is also considered by Zhonghui to be the first generation, after all, he is the first monarch of great unification.
Zhong Hui glanced at the pensive Liu Yuan, "I heard that Lu Kang also accepted a disciple, which was also arranged by His Majesty. ”
"My brother held an official position at the age of fifteen, and I was a scholar at the age of twenty, and you have to participate in the next imperial examination, if you can't get the first place"
Liu Yuan frowned, if everything else is fine, but this classic is not his strong point.
But he was not afraid.
Can a celebrity be afraid?
"Set first!"
As long as you can pass the first two assessments and go to the third level, you are not afraid that you will not be able to get the first, after all, it is impossible to test the classics in the palace examination, and Your Majesty will definitely take the test to govern the country.
Zhong Hui quickly went out the door.
This title is just one of the many things that the Bell Club is responsible for today.
There were many more things he had to do, the most important of which was the matter of sending envoys to the west.
Zhonghui has already found a few suitable candidates, and Yongliang has sent a few Futu monks, these people have been in the Western Regions for many years, and have personally been to the Dayue Clan.
They are absolutely qualified as guides and translators.
The scripture scholar who had met Cao Chao before was also found as one of the guides.
In terms of the chief envoy, Zhong Hui directly bypassed the Ministry of Rites and arranged candidates.
Zhong Hui felt that it was most appropriate to go from Zhuge Xu.
This envoy Yueshi is not a good errand, this guy originally made mistakes in Yongzhou, so he can make up for his mistakes, not to mention that he understands the classics, knows diplomacy, is good at words, and his identity is not humble and not too young, he can bear this journey.
Since Zhuge fell ill, the Zhuge family has been a little downhill, Zhong Hui feels that this guy will not dare to go all out, this is a good opportunity for them to rise again, if they can successfully complete this matter and reopen the trade route to that side, maybe their family will have a chance to raise their heads.
Otherwise, as long as Zhuge dies, their family will have to usher in a complete reckoning.
