"Alas," Sun Qian sighed after a long silence. At this time, brothers Mi Zhu and Mi Fang both looked over and stared attentively.
They had a very deep understanding of Sun Qian, and they knew him thoroughly from an early age.
Even if he has worries in his heart, he will never fail to see Liu Bei's excellence. They didn't know how difficult it was for him to gain fame in his early years, but now what is before his eyes is his sudden success.
Liu Xuande is definitely not an ordinary person. How could Sun Qian not see that? No matter what concerns he has, he should consider them carefully. There will be a result tonight!
Mi Zhu and Mi Fang had had in-depth discussions countless times and decided to persuade Sun Qian to defect to Liu Bei and follow him together in the future to seek fame.
After a moment, Sun Qiangang continued to speak, saying: "If Duke Xuande can be called a hero of the world, he is eager for public justice, good at governing, and peaceful... How can he be benevolent if he governs millions of people and implements policies to gain millions of stones of food and grass?" What about good deeds?”
"Of course..." Mi Zhu and Mi Fang were both stunned, and at the same time they kept thinking in their minds whether such people existed in the world.
"Then, is it benevolent and righteous to carry out benevolent orders and military laws and order the army of a state to conquer the places without harming the people and giving food to the refugees?"
"This, if this is not a benevolent and righteous king, how can anyone in the world dare to call him benevolent? Gongyou's words are too mysterious. I don't know that there are such heroes in the world, but even if there are, they should have the connections and reputation of officials for many generations, otherwise How can you decide the order of a state with just one word?"
Mi Zhu and Mi Fang sighed secretly, I am afraid that a person with such a reputation for political achievements would not be lower than Liu Yu of Youzhou, and his background would not be much different, so how could he compare with Liu Jun.
In this era, Han clan clan members were everywhere. With this status, Liu Jun was able to start a business and gained a reputation as a virtuous person. If he had been born into an imperial family and had nobles close to him, wouldn't he still have achieved these achievements?
"No, he was born in the military and was a refugee in troubled times."
Sun Qian sighed. Mi Zhu was shocked by these words, that such a person actually existed, but he immediately realized it and frowned: "With this background, you should not follow him."
Sun Qian glanced at the two of them and nodded: "Normally, this is the case, but don't you think it's strange? He can actually keep such a feat that is enough to make him famous."
Uh, that's weird.
Both of them were stunned for a moment and thought about it carefully. This was indeed true. According to past experiences, any achievement that could bring fame and wealth would naturally not fall on a white man.
Usually there are layers of hints, and what falls on Bai Ding is just a little bit of petty profit.
But Bai Ding can actually get all the credit. This is because there is no one from above to compete with him, or because troubled times have come, and those rigid rules no longer work.
"Gongyou, who is this person you are talking about?"
"Zhang Han, Zhang Bochang," Sun Qian didn't show off and spoke immediately, but Mi Zhu was obviously confused by this name.
He had never heard of it, so he looked at Sun Qian blankly, as if asking for advice, and asked seriously: "Zhang Han, what kind of person is he?"
…
"I am a person who knows books and respects etiquette."
Xiaopei, Zhang Han and Xi Zhicai seemed to be in a quarrel in the government office. Today, he was wearing a decent dark robe and a hat. He was handsome and handsome. He waved his hand to Xi Zhicai and said, "I don't I'll go find the camp trick with the sacrificial wine."
Xi Zhicai smacked his lips and said: "I'm not going to do that. It's just that there are more people living in exile in Xiaopei recently. Many weak women and innocent children have nowhere to go because of this. The camp can be changed into a shelter to allow these The woman who no longer had her family was able to live in peace.”
"Orphans and widowed mothers, fearful of the world. I once thought it would be better to take them in and learn the skills of ordinary people in weaving, sewing, and sericulture. If the men are strong, they can build city walls, dig trenches, or send them to farm in the rear. Picture storage."
"You and I can go there, maybe we can get some ideas and strategies."
Xi Zhicai's expression remained as before, without any hint of joking. Zhang Han had only seen this kind of sincere look in the eyes of Xun Wenruo, a gentleman, and the handsome man when he looked in the mirror, which showed that he was serious.
"I made the mistake of blaming the wine sacrifice." Zhang Han immediately handed over his hand.
"That's right," Xi Zhicai smiled and was about to pull him along.
But Zhang Han refused again: "I still can't go. I'll have to go by myself or find someone else to offer wine."
"I have some things to do at home these days, so I won't go," Zhang Han immediately smiled wryly and clasped his fists.
In fact, he has unexpectedly obtained another achievement. If he arranges it properly, he may be able to accumulate a large number of rewards in the future, and even become an extremely important part of the strategy.
But now, it is not easy to tell the wine sacrifice immediately, because it is still just a looming tree-lined path. Zhang Han will wait until Zhang Han opens it up before informing the wine sacrifice for discussion.
"Forget it, Bo Chang is indeed a gentleman. He is as old-fashioned as Wen Ruo. He never goes to places like this. But if you don't go, how can you know the pain?" Xi Zhicai said with his hands behind his back. He just stepped away with waning interest.
There is a kind of melancholy and regret at losing a "comrade".
Zhang Han returned to the mansion immediately after taking office. Gao Shun had been waiting for a long time. Seeing Zhang Han's arrival, he immediately came forward to greet him, cupped his fists and said, "Sir, the news has been returned."
"Okay, let's go into the room and talk." Zhang Han quickened his pace and immediately entered the room, where the two sat opposite each other.
Gao Shun's face was cold and solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "According to Sir's instructions, I sent flying cavalry to Chen Liu to question Gao Huai. There is an official named Dong Fang, with the courtesy name Wen Ding. Zhang Miao's staff are nothing more than this. The person belongs to the Dong family of Jiyin, and the Dong family had already taken refuge when the troubled times arose."
"He has an elder brother named Dong Zhao, also known as Gongren. I don't know where he is, but he is more talented and famous. He should be a direct descendant of the Dong family in Jiyin."
That is, the leader of this generation.
Zhang Han knew that this was not only an era of warlords fighting, but also an era where major families were intertwined with each other and invested in each other. Those who bet successfully will prosper; those who fail to bet will rely on backhand to ruin their prosperity, but in other places they are not I can still survive.
In an era of great reshuffle, no one will refuse the merit of Congden. I am indeed very lucky.
Boss Cao did not need Gao Shun for the time being and asked him to be at my disposal, so he got the news about the Dong family in Jiyin from him during a chat, and immediately asked him to check and found out that Dong was visiting.
By going with the flow, he can catch up with his elder brother Dong Zhao.
Dong Zhao, Dong Gongren... this person is very important!
Zhang Han vaguely remembered that he had a place in the history books, and there were a few colorful strokes about him, but he couldn't remember clearly.
But even so, the direction of this line is already known, and after a little straightening out, we can start to advance it.
When he was thinking, Gao Shun was always waiting by the side without disturbing Zhang Han's thoughts. After a long time, Zhang Han raised his head and said: "General, send someone to help me again and inform the current deputy Chen about this matter." Cheng Zhongde was left as the prefect."
"After you are secretly convinced that this matter is feasible, then discuss it with him and ask him not to inform others for the time being."
Zhang Han was constantly thinking in his mind at this time. Before Gao Shun left, he said again: "When I write a letter to the lord, I will send a close friend to help me deliver it to Juancheng."
Zhang Han used cloth as paper, and wrote with ink like a flying dragon or phoenix. He wrote in one stroke, and a eloquent policy statement appeared on the paper.
Gao Shun took a closer look and was shocked.
He rarely saw such ugly words on Confucian scholars.
Not to mention the twists and turns, a lot of ink stuck together to form a "little black dot", but you can still vaguely identify what is written.
Mr. Guan's solemn and self-admiring expression, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have thought that he had written some masterpiece of literary style and calligraphy that would be handed down from generation to generation.
Just this word makes my blood boil.
…
Xiapi, inside Sun Qian's mansion.
The three of them drank and talked, and it was late at night before they knew it. Sun Qian told Zhang Han everything about his guesses about Zhang Han, the process of their acquaintance, and his status in Cao's camp.
Finally, he also told a lot of news that Xi Zhicai had revealed to him. Among them, the most noteworthy ones were two things.
First, he saved the life of Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin.
Second, he saved the life of Cao Cao's father, Cao Song.
These two things alone are enough to ensure Zhang Han's status in Yanzhou.
"Unexpectedly, this white body is actually a strange person..."
"Cao Cao uses his strategy and formulates it as a decree. How many years can it be implemented?" Mi Zhu asked with concern.
Government orders are followed and revised continuously. Once they are implemented for several years, they can become major policies. This achievement is enough to be passed down from generation to generation and written into geographical annals and history books.
"Last year, Yanzhou received millions of grains of military grain, and the people's houses were full of food and clothing. Even this year, they continued this policy with slight improvements in taxation. However, millions of people never complained and just lived in peace, as if they were born in a stable country. World."
"Moreover, he once said that a gentleman's opinions do not matter his heart. At this moment, I feel that when we follow the Ming Lord, we should not only listen to his reputation, but also look at his political achievements."
Sun Qian took a sip of wine, wiped it with the back of his left hand, and then smiled and said, "Do you two know why he came to this place?"
"I don't know," both of them looked at Sun Qian curiously.
After he had done enough, he raised the corner of his mouth and smiled slightly, "It is Mr. Cao's meritocracy. Talent is the most important thing in troubled times! Only those who can calm the people can win people's support."
"And it is precisely because of meritocracy that we have gained people like Zhang Han and Xi Zhong, as well as countless brave soldiers in the army. We have always thought about how to win the favor of the nobles, so that we can become famous and gradually climb the ranks. And up."
"But I never thought about it, why should I cling to them? The Yanzhou where Duke Cao is now is a path that is more suitable for you and me. I hope you two can think about it and don't have to be blinded by a leaf."
Mi Zhu and Mi Fang nodded silently, each with their own thoughts in mind.
But after a while, he suddenly woke up.
Eh? No, aren’t we here to persuade him?
Why was he swayed by his lobbying...
