Chapter 268: Qingzhou’s Virtuous Government
Worry when the world is worried first, and rejoice when the world is happy later. ----------"The Story of Yueyang Tower" by Fan Zhongyan of the Northern Song Dynasty
It is said that Chen Long's large ship encountered a huge storm, the cable was cut off, and the people on the ship lost their way overnight. Fortunately, Chen Longguang was able to compare the chart route in his mind the next day and find the right direction. He headed west along the Yellow Sea and returned to the mainland in ten days. The ship docked in a beautiful bay near Yantai in later generations, not far away. At that time, Huang County, Donglai County, Beihai State, Qingzhou was not far away.
Chen Long immediately thought of Donglai Tai Shici. He was near Donglai, so why not visit him. This time, as God provided, we were looking for dragons in Qingzhou, and of course we had to visit Kong Beihai.
Chen Long left more than a thousand people behind to carry out maintenance on the large ship on the spot. The rest, mainly special forces members, put on makeup and boarded a small boat to land. This time, Chen Long had a disguised identity as a South Sea pearl merchant. Although neither Taishi Ci nor Kong Rong had ever seen him, Chen Long still followed his own ideas and made up to look like a big man in rich brocade clothes. He was slightly fatter, with swollen eyelids and a hairy complexion. Bai, who looked like he was too drunk and had a real beard, even those who had seen him once or twice would not dare to recognize him.
Chen Long changed his name to Longzhu, Zhen Mi pretended to be his wife, Li Shishi led a group of maids and servants, and Lu Chang, Zhou Buyi and others all dressed up as Ziyi followers. Lu Chang was carrying a bag of authentic seawater pearls from Sanya, Hainan. The pearls are round and plump. They are called "walking pearls". That is, they can roll freely when placed on the plate with a slight movement. They are as famous as the Hepu South Pearls. The pearls absolutely shine. , each one moves on the disk. Among them, some of the most beautiful and elegant ones were translucent, giving people a soft and hazy feeling. Their value was far greater than that of gold, so they were naturally reserved by Chen Long as a magic weapon for bribing senior officials.
The coast is full of barren mountains and ridges. As Zhou Buyi walked, he kept the mountains and rivers in mind so that he could satisfy his taste for making local maps and come back to find ships. After walking for a whole day, everyone finally walked on a narrow path. Chen Long identified the direction and led the team straight to Huangxian Avenue.
Li Shishi was good at climbing mountains and crossing water. This time he had a deeper understanding of sea travel and boating. He pestered Zhou Buyi to teach geography and learn drawing. Chen Long's heart moved. This girl is of the same age as Zhou Buyi. I wonder if she can find a lifelong destination for the child prodigy?
During a break on the road, Li Shishi's voice came: "The sea route is actually the most suitable for surprise landing operations. Like us, we can hide behind the enemy without knowing it, and even enter the heart of the enemy." Followed by Zhou Buyi. Voice: "Well, naval warfare is indeed a new method of warfare worth studying. There is no one stationed on this long coastline at all. Surprise troops can come at will, and no one can imagine where the enemies on the sea come from?" The two of them said one sentence each. , the discussion was in full swing, and the people around him, including Chen Long, all laughed secretly in their hearts. This young man and woman are indeed a wonderful couple.
Chen Long stood up and said with a smile: "This matter will be officially handed over to you for study today. Each of our large ships can carry thousands of soldiers and sailors, together with supply counterweights, and it will take a few days to set off from Qiongya or Yizhou. Arrive at the scheduled landing site along the coast. Then which route to conduct a sneak attack, everything can be customized in advance. As long as we have a successful plan and understand the opponent's intelligence, our pace of unifying the world will definitely be greatly accelerated. .”
Zhou Buyi and Li Shishi nodded to accept the instruction. Li Shishi said crisply: "General, don't worry, leave the naval battle to us!" Chen Long said happily: "That's good! From now on, you will be responsible for training the navy in Qiongya. Let Zhou Buji accompany you. I am the Commander of the Qinglong Navy, you are the Executive Deputy Commander of the Navy, and he is the military advisor. In fact, the main thing is to train a group of soldiers who can not vomit on the sea, haha!" Master Li He shouted: "Let Military Advisor Zhou accompany me, and don't break your promise!"
Everyone was infected by the relaxed atmosphere and laughed one after another. Suddenly Zhou Buji said cheerfully: "Master, how come Master Li's official is older than me!"
After walking and walking like this, we entered a small village where there was some trading of carriages and horses, so we bought an ordinary carriage for the female family. After asking the villagers, it turned out that they were in Longkou Village, which was only a few dozen miles away from Huang County. Chen Long couldn't help but smile, it turned out that he had arrived at the base camp where fans are produced in Shandong.
Although Longkou Village is small, it has all the necessary features. The small square in the center of the village is where the villagers usually gather. They chat and play here during the off-season. There are also spontaneous markets on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month. This small village is actually filled with an atmosphere of harmonious and happy life, and the faces of the villagers seem to be written with satisfaction and satisfaction. Chen Long and his entourage naturally attracted special attention. As a big businessman, Chen Long found the best small restaurant in the center of the village and sat down for tea and dinner.
The waiter set up a square table in the middle, and only Chen Long and Zhen Mi sat down. It was noon. The small shop was also full of guests. The nearby tables were obviously full of local villagers looking curiously at the loud and beautiful lady. Chen Long couldn't help but laugh. said loudly. Invited, fellow villagers. It is a great pleasure to come to Guibao Land today and meet you all. This lunch is my invitation. Feel free to eat whatever you want.
When the villagers heard about it, they shouted loudly! They are all smiling. They all came over to toast. Chen Long also took the opportunity to start chatting. asked a middle-aged man who was pulled over for a toast. This big brother. Gao's surname.
The man's hair was already a little gray. Holding a glass of wine, he spoke in dialect. My name is Ren Kui. I don’t know what to call Mr. Chen Long smiled and brought Xiao Longzhu, a businessman from the south. This is my first time coming to Qingzhou. Well, I would like to ask my brother to introduce to me what I need to pay attention to when doing business in Qingzhou.
The man had a big, shaky head. It turns out to be Mr. Long. Mr. Long, it turns out that he doesn’t know the rules of Qingzhou. I am Beihai Xiang Kong Rong. He even loves his people as his own children. We are even more respectful to guests like you who come. Kong Beihai practiced benevolent government in Qingzhou, which was well known to everyone. Sir, you don’t have to worry about it. As long as you follow the rules and obey the law, no one will dare to bully you.
Jackie Chan was very pleased when he heard this, he had known Kong Rong was the one. one. An upright gentleman. Sure enough the rumors were true. Then he asked. The empty sea is currently in Beihai, waiting for me to visit in a few days.
The man shook his head and said, he really didn't know this. But Kong Beihai often travels to Qingzhou, so maybe you can meet him on the road. But I'm afraid he has just been appointed as the governor of Qingzhou, so he may not be in Beihai. You can check it out yourself. Jackie Chan nodded. asked again. Sir, do you know that there is a Taishi Ziyi in Huang County, Donglai? His mother had a relationship with my mother. Wudang went to visit Huang County.
That guy is so funny. It just so happens that Magistrate Huang and I have relatives. I have heard that a person named Taishi is an official in their county, but I don't know what kind of official he is. Since Chen Long is so happy, I just need to go to the county government office to find him. Thank you very much for this big brother. The man toasted again before going.
The dinosaur towns are all living and working in peace and contentment. It seems that the Yellow Turban Rebellion did not have a great impact. This should be inseparable from the dinosaurs' implementation of good governance.
Kong Rong, courtesy name Wenju, was a native of Lu. With outstanding literary talent, he was one of the "Seven Sons of Jian'an" in the late Han Dynasty. He had a good family background and was the 20th grandson of Confucius and the son of Kong Zhou, the captain of Taishan.
He is a rare talent, diligent and studious, good at poetry and prose, and is famous in the world together with Pingyuan Tao Qiuhong and Chen Liubianrang. After Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty came to the throne, he served as Zhonghou of the Northern Army, Zhonglang General of Huben, and Prime Minister of Beihai, and was called Kong Beihai at that time. During his six years in office, he built cities, established schools, promoted talents, and demonstrated Confucianism. Later, he also served as the governor of Qingzhou. In the first year of Jian'an, Yuan Tan attacked Beihai, and Kong Rong fought fiercely with him for several months before finally being defeated and fleeing Shandong. Soon after, he was recruited by the imperial court as a general and a master craftsman, moved to the Shaofu, and was appointed Taizhong doctor. He has a good nature and likes to criticize and discuss current affairs. He often hits the shortcomings of the times and speaks fiercely, but he treats the people like his own son.
At the beginning, Kong Rong was recruited as a vassal of Sikong because of his talent and was awarded the title of Military Marquis of Beizhong. After serving for three days, he was transferred to Huben Zhonglang General. At a time when the powerful minister Dong Zhuo was in charge of the government and wanted to depose Liu Bian, the young emperor of the Han Dynasty, Kong Rong argued with Dong Zhuo, using heated words and often making corrective remarks. Dong Zhuo held a grudge and transferred Kong Rong to Yilang, and then hinted that the three palaces (Taiwei, Situ, and Sikong) recommended Kong Rong to be the prime minister of Beihai, where the Yellow Turban Army was most rampant.
After Kong Rong arrived in Beihai, he summoned soldiers and people, gathered troops to teach martial arts, issued proclamations, and wrote letters himself to communicate with various states and counties and plan together. Due to the defeat of the Yellow Turban Army Zhang Rao, he transferred to protect Zhuxu County. Slowly gathering the men and women who were bewitched by the Yellow Turban among the officials and the common people, the number reached more than 40,000, and then established cities and schools to demonstrate Confucianism, and recommended virtuous Zheng Xuan, Peng Qiu, Bing Yuan, etc. Treat fellow countrymen with courtesy, even if there is only a small act of kindness. When the countrymen had no descendants and the travelers from all over the world died, they helped bury them. Therefore, he had quite a political voice and was called "Kong Beihai" by people at the time.
Kong Rong was tolerant by nature, not suspicious of others, valued talents, and liked to guide and promote young people. Even after retiring from his idle position, the house was still full of guests every day. Kong Rong often sighed: "The seats are always full of people, and the wine in the wooden bottle is not empty, so I have no worries." When I hear that others have good deeds, it is as if they were done by themselves. If there are words that can be adopted, they will be expanded and completed. Tell people face to face their shortcomings and praise their strengths. He recommended wise men and rewarded progress, so all the talented people in the country admired and believed in him.
The one whom Kong Rong loved to ridicule was the traitor Cao Mengde. According to the official history, Cao Cao was full of suspicion and jealousy, coupled with Xi Lu's frame-up, so he ordered the Prime Minister's army to plan a wine sacrifice. Lu Cui wasted on Kong Rong in order to "recruit his disciples", "want evil intentions", and "slander". Kong Rong was executed in the 13th year of Jian'an on charges of "slandering the imperial court" and "not complying with Chaoyi", and his whole family was implicated. Kong Wenju was only fifty-six years old at the time.
Chen Long expected in his heart that after meeting Tai Shici, he would naturally go to find Kong Rong. With his presence, he would ensure that Kong Rong could escape Cao Cao's murderous hands. However, it is also more difficult to deal with Kong Rong, who practiced virtuous government. If war cannot be used, how can we persuade him to surrender to us?
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
