After another round of courtesies from emperors, saints and ministers, Yang Huai and the others left, but Fazheng paused and hesitated to speak.
Seeing this, He Sian said: "Xiaozhi, if you have anything to do, it's okay to say it!"
"My lord Zhengjian always frowns when he mentions Li Hui and Shi Xie. Could it be that my lord is worried about their identities?" Fa Zheng asked tentatively.
"Xiaozhi is not an outsider. Just like that, the biggest reason why Gu was able to set up Salesian divisions, schools, martial arts halls, and military camps in Yizhou and Liangzhou so smoothly was that there were no constraints from clans. But as time goes by, With the arrival of the Zhen family and the successive appearances of the Nanzhong Cuan family, Jiaozhou Zhixie, etc., Gu Shi... doesn't know how to deal with it!" He Sian didn't beat around the bush, but told the truth.
"With all due respect... Lord, are you worrying too much?"
Looking at Fazheng's expression, He Si'an's head moved and he asked: "According to what Xiaozhi said, is there something hidden in it?"
Fazheng cupped his hands and replied respectfully: "My lord is worried about nothing more than land annexation, big tail and other factors. When the Zhen family first came to Yizhou, they had no foundation, so they would definitely look at me with my lord's head, and the Cuan family has been living in the southern borderland for a long time." The land not only has to guard against the plunder of the southern barbarians, but also has to deal with natural disasters such as wild beasts and poisonous insects, so it is natural to stick together to keep warm.
However, unlike Yizhou, where the land is fertile, the south is full of miasma, so the locals do not value the land, and more often go north to hunt in the forest and pick fruits and vegetables in exchange for food.
As for the Jiaozhou scholar family, the lord does not need to care. Not to mention the inconvenience of travel, the local population is not prosperous, and most of the local people make a living by fishing. Most of the land is idle, and there is no need for wealthy people to consume it. It takes time and effort to annex land. In addition, Zheng also wants to ask the Lord for someone. "
Before he could finish listening to what Fazheng said, He Sian stood up suddenly. The mental illness that had troubled him for many years seemed to disappear, and his whole person suddenly became enlightened!
Since coming to this era, He Sian has always fallen into a misunderstanding, that is, the issue of land annexation in ancient times. Looking at the problem from the perspective of an experienced person, the demise of the dynasty was almost always caused by land annexation. In this way, the existence of the clan is like a The mountain pressed on He Sian's head, making him unable to breathe.
But He Sian ignored that it was not too long ago from the Warring States period when a hundred schools of thought contended. Leaving aside the long-lost Xia, Shang, Zhou and the Qin Dynasty, the Han Dynasty could be said to be the first true Central Plains dynasty, and he had no It is necessary to go against the clan now. As Fazheng said, there will be no problem of land annexation in Nanzhong, Jiaozhou and other places.
To put it bluntly, the biggest feature of the ancient Chinese dynasty was its agricultural civilization. Once unified, they could vigorously develop industry, animal husbandry, etc., and use their own knowledge and knowledge together with the efforts of the whole country to create rails, steam engines, cement, textile machines and other objects It is not difficult. When the people have more choices, the so-called land annexation will naturally disappear.
"Xiaozhi is worthy of being a person with perfect statistics in the internal affairs of the Three Kingdoms. It is Si'an's good fortune to have Xiaozhi!" As he said that, He Sian didn't care about his manners and came directly below. He embraced Fazheng in a bear hug and patted him hard. Slap the other person on the back.
"Ahem, cough, cough! Lord... Lord, what are the Three Kingdoms? What does the full value mean?" Fazheng's mouth twitched. After all, in this era, it is still very unsightly to be hugged by someone of the same sex.
"I lost my temper. Fa...ah, don't worry about that. What did Takanao just say? Do you want one person?"
He Sian secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and his excited way of speaking almost returned to that of his previous life.
Fazheng could certainly see He Si'an's joyful mood at this moment, which is why He Si'an said: "It is indeed He Si'an's good fortune to be filial and upright!" 'Pleased! It can be seen that He Sian said this completely from the bottom of his heart, which made Fazheng feel the urge to die for his confidant, even regardless of his identity...
After recovering his thoughts, Fazheng raised the corners of his mouth and said respectfully: "Zheng, I want Li Hui to help with government affairs!"
"Oh? Is there something special about this person? Xiaozhi, please tell Si'an!"
Fazheng nodded and said, "Yes, Li Hui, whose courtesy name is De'ang, has followed his uncle Cuan since he was a child and studied all kinds of books! Not only did he acquire good calligraphy, he was also proficient in government affairs, and even involved in the art of war and strategy. It can be said that he is a true all-rounder in both civil and military affairs!”
"If it is true as Xiaozhi said, then Gu will definitely use Li Hui! Also, from what Xiaozhi said, Cuan Xi is also quite talented?" He Sian asked with interest.
"Of course, my lord came to Yizhou for the first time, so he may not know much about the situation here. Cuan Xi is a master of calligraphy, and he can be regarded as the number one calligrapher in Yizhou! In addition, my lord may not know that Mr. Shi Xie is a disciple of Liu Tao. Mr. Liu’s understanding of Zuo’s Spring and Autumn Annals is absolutely second to none among us, and his Commentaries on the Spring and Autumn Classics astonished even Cai Yong and others after reading them!”
'Calligraphy...Commentary on Spring and Autumn Classics...'
An idea flashed in He Sian's mind: 'Printing! '
Thinking of this, He Sian quickly ordered Zhou Cang to find Xu Shu. After a while, He Sian explained the method of movable type printing to Xu Shu and Fazheng.
The principle of movable type printing is very simple. He Sian briefly explained it and the two of them understood what He Sian said!
"Wonderful!" they both blurted out in unison!
"According to what the Lord said, both methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. Although block printing is relatively simple, it is far less durable than movable type printing. Although movable type printing takes longer to prepare, it can be used flexibly and saves a lot of unnecessary work. What a waste!" Xu Shu analyzed.
After the three people discussed it, He Sian summoned Li Hui and Shi Xie respectively. Li Hui readily agreed to Fa Zheng's recruitment without hesitation. After all, Fa Zheng only served as chief bookkeeper under He Sian's account, but anyone with a discerning eye could do it. It can be seen that in He Sian's camp, Fa Zheng is a prime minister-like existence.
Later, when he met Shi Xie, He Si'an truly sighed that there were such extraordinary people in the world!
When they first met, Shi Xie gave He Sian a sense of familiarity with Zhang Daoling. Although the age gap between the two was nearly fifty years, with the experience of later generations, many of He Sian's theories seemed to Shi Xie to be unconstrained and very novel. It can be said that the two sides met each other late! Soon, He Sian raised the issue of printing and said that if Shixie agreed, he would use Shixie's Commentary on the Spring and Autumn Classics as the content of the first engraving printing.
After hearing this, Shi Xie was very happy and suggested that Cuan Xi's calligraphy was far better than his own. He took the initiative to invite Ying to invite Cuan Xi to inscribe the calligraphy in person as a template.
Fazheng and Xu Shu still had a lot of things to deal with, so they said goodbye and left soon after. However, He Sian and Shixie talked about everything from their understanding of literature to local customs, humanities and geography, and they had a great time talking. , did not return home until late at night. During this period, He Sian directly ordered someone to deliver dinner to the hall.
The next day, everyone gathered together. Since Jiaozhou and Zhuyazhou did not belong to the Han Dynasty in name, He Sian did not report to the court, but instead conferred the title himself. Since Gan Ning was dead, Gan Gui, Gan Ning's son, was granted the title of General Zhennan and Marquis of Hainan, and was left to guard Zhuya Prefecture.
Feng Shixie was appointed as the governor of Jiaozhou, General Annan, and the leader of Guangxinhou!
Yang Huai was granted the title of Grand Administrator of Jianning and appointed General of Pingnan.
Li Hui was granted the title of meritorious service officer. Mainly in charge of Chinese books, and also assisting in history.
After the enfeoffment was over, each set off for their respective fiefdoms.
Half a month later, Shi Xie not only came to Cuan to study, but also ordered his son Shi Yan to personally lead a large number of craftsmen and treasures such as pearls and ivory, as well as exotic fruits, bananas, coconuts, longans and other items to come to see He Sian.
Shi Xie bluntly said that he would fully assist He Sian in the construction of the school and the publishing department. Seeing that both Shi Xie and Cuan Xi had plans to stay in Chengdu temporarily, He Sian, in line with the principle of bringing out the best value of the two, appointed Shi Xie as the teacher of Xiaojing. One position for supervising education. Cuan Xi is a doctor of the Five Classics of Chengdu Taixue. At this point, the rewards for this southern expedition have come to an end for the time being.
Looking at the entire Central Plains, He Sian's victory in the southern expedition and Yuan Shao's destruction of Gongsun Zan caused quite a stir, but the focus of the world at the moment is on Runan, because tomorrow will be the day when Yuan Shu announced to the world that Bagong Mountain was sealed .
The so-called "Feng Chan" actually has two meanings, which should be understood separately.
"Feng" refers to building an altar of earth to offer sacrifices to heaven. The ancients believed that emperors on earth should offer sacrifices to the emperor of heaven at a high place to express their orders from "heaven". They built a round altar and decorated it with five-color earth to repay heaven for their merits. The current Temple of Heaven in Beijing was built by Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Di completed the construction in 1420 AD and was called the Temple of Heaven and Earth at the time! Since then, the Temple of Heaven and Earth has replaced Mount Tai and become a place where emperors worshiped heaven and earth.
"Zen" refers to worshiping the ground. It was held at the foot of the mountain and a square altar was built to repay the earth for its contribution.
After the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty unified the six countries, he toured various places and led 70 people including charioteers, civil and military ministers, and Confucian scholars to Mount Tai to hold a Zen ceremony.
The First Emperor renovated the mountain road and climbed the mountain from Mount Taiyang. The ennobling ceremony was held at Daiding and a stone was erected to praise his virtues. Descending from the shadow of Mount Tai, he performed the Zen ceremony at Mount Liangfu. When Qin Shihuang granted the title of Mount Tai, the sacrificial texts and rituals were kept secret.
Feng and Zen are usually performed at the same time. But the sealing ceremony is more important than the Zen ceremony. This is because the sky is above and the earth is below. People think that the sky is yang and the earth is yin, and the sky is higher than the earth.
Of course, since Mount Tai is located in Yanzhou, Yuan Shu would not go to Cao Cao's territory to seek trouble, so he settled for the next best thing and chose Bagong Mountain, the most famous mountain in Huainan, as the place for this consecration.
After half a year of repairs, the road on Bagong Mountain is now flat, with several rather gorgeous tents erected on the mountainside, and a straight mountain road leading directly to the altar on the top of the mountain!
After all, there will be a Zen ceremony tomorrow morning, and the time may not be enough, so Yuan Shu and other people participating in the ceremony will rest here tonight. Hundreds of personal guards are on duty outside the tent and near the mountain road, and the surrounding area illuminated by torches is as bright as Day!
Yuan Shu was sitting alone in the big tent in the middle. It was already late at night. Although Bagong Mountain was located on the south bank of the Huaihe River and the climate was suitable, the mountain wind at night still made people shiver with cold and made it difficult to sleep.
"I, Yuan Shu, will Yuan Gongli become the emperor tomorrow?"
Yuan Shu stood up, raised the curtain, looked at the stars in the distance, and murmured to himself...
