In the middle of the night, Zhang Han was still awake, holding a sword to teach Jia Shenjun in the atrium.
Jia Xu was so tired that he couldn't even lift his hands. He collapsed on the ground and gasped for air. He waved his hands quickly: "I won't practice anymore."
"I really don't want to practice anymore."
"I understand the kindness of the Lord. However, as you get older, you need to rest. You cannot focus on keeping fit as you did when you were young."
"Tsk," Zhang Han put the long sword on the weapon rack.
During this period, Chen Deng left Hanoi and led his troops to Guangling to take up his post.
Therefore, Chen Deng's achievements in Hanoi were settled in the "account book" of the system's adoptive father, and he exported [Swordsmanship] and [Swordsmanship] to Zhang Han, which are all basic martial arts.
And he only has a little proficiency, and he is not good at weapons.
But from this we can also know that if he recommends talented people and makes merit, Zhang Han will also be rewarded, but the effect will be far less than if he did it himself.
Of course, there is another reason that is also very possible: Chen Deng's actual merits were shared by others, so the fame and fortune do not belong to him.
Naturally, there are less. To put it bluntly, Chen Deng was probably prostituted by "my uncle Zi Lian" for half a year in Hanoi.
That's why I was so ambitious when I went south to Guangling.
Jia Xu lay on his back for a while, then propped up his whole body with both hands, sat up on the ground, and continued: "Dong and Fu are far away, and the Yang family has been able to restrain them. Zhong Yao has long stayed out of the matter and is devoted to serving the public. Right now, The current situation is..."
"No one of His Majesty's old ministers is in charge anymore. The ones we need to be careful about now are the Eighth Colonel and those close to the Han who have troops outside."
"These people can see His Majesty and obey the orders of the Han Dynasty to the point where they can still be controlled. But those who need to worry should be those who have great ambitions but can only be close to the Han. Such people are very likely to be won over."
"Just name it, who?"
Jia Xu looked sharply and said: "Liu Bei is temporarily living in Liang State. After I arrived in Xudu, I won the trust of the princes and became a spy to collect intelligence."
"This month, I added a piece of information that all those who are pro-Han must be reported, including Liu Bei."
"When we paid attention again, he followed Sikong after the Xuzhou Rebellion. He was a guest minister at first, but later he made great contributions and was promoted to the Prime Minister of Liang Guo."
"Since taking office, people's livelihood is peaceful, public order is impeccable, grain harvests are abundant, and the fish market is prosperous. Every time people mention it, they always praise it, but he has never claimed credit for it."
"This person is more noteworthy than any other minister in the court, because his talents are truly outstanding."
Zhang Han also sat down lazily, shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Both of the two wine sacrifices, I persuaded Sikong to kill him no less than three times."
"Sikong is unwilling to give up. No matter how hard he tries to persuade him, it will be in vain. Unless Liu Xiang makes some mistake, otherwise he will lose his life by killing and give someone a handle. Sikong would not do it back then, and it is even less possible now."
However, after Jia Xu said these words, Zhang Han liked him even more. Having an old man in the family is like having a treasure.
Jia Xu's vision and thoughts were vicious enough, and he could tell at a glance that Liu Bei was abnormal. He made many achievements, but he never came to ask for credit or reward. He just worked quietly and took the lead in everything he did.
He is generous, benevolent, and heroic to his subordinates and people, has a heroic demeanor, and is a benevolent king with an upright appearance.
"No, no," Jia Xu stretched out his hand and grabbed his beard. He gasped and lost his mind in thought, and murmured, "I must kill him."
"But it should be used to consume the secret accumulation. If it is to be consumed, I can strongly recommend it to conquer Yuan Shu this time."
"Information shows that since he claims to be the Liu family of Zhuojun, he is the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan and the grandson of Emperor Jing, so he is a clan member of the Han Dynasty."
"There were many royal family members back then, but there were very few who were still fighting. This name was all over the streets back then. I could see a lot of them in Xiliang, but now there are very few."
Jia Xu raised his voice and raised his head with gleaming eyes: "If you want to use him, since he is a clan member of the Han Dynasty, so he dare not disobey the emperor's order, so you can order him to send an army and go out to conquer the rebels!" "
Zhang Han frowned. He had not yet figured out what Jia Xu was going to do.
"What you mean is that if you want to destroy Liu Bei's military strength, wouldn't this mean that he should be exchanged for merit?"
Zhang Han subconsciously felt that this was not a good thing. Liu Bei's ability was very outstanding, so perhaps giving him merit was not a good thing.
Jia Xu said sadly: "Your Majesty, as long as you go to the battlefield, life or death is unpredictable."
"Moreover, even if you return to the court in victory, you will not be awarded a title unless you have merit. You can use the title to reward your merit."
"Let's talk about it later," Zhang Han did not immediately give a positive answer. Others did not know Liu Xuande, but he knew the answer, so he was always on guard against the envoy's rise.
They just asked him to stay in Liangguo's small land to make peace for the people, but he didn't expect that Jia Xu would notice him.
I don’t know if it’s Jia Xu’s vicious vision or Liu Bei’s really outstanding charm that makes him praised everywhere he goes.
But now, if there is a conspiracy to kill Liu Bei, it is a bit unfounded. He is currently no threat at all.
…
After going to court the next day, Zhang Han went to Dali Temple to take office. He was forced by Zhong Yao to practice a few calligraphy articles.
In the afternoon, I left my post and left several cases to the people below to decide on their own.
The euphemistic name is to train new people, give them a chance, and then go to Xiaolinshan outside Xudu to inspect the winter irrigation of the fields.
In fact, I went to a fellow villager's house to make a living.
In the evening, Zhang Han and Dian Wei, who burped after eating, took a leisurely stroll back to the city. As soon as they arrived at the door, they were blocked by school officials.
He was so frightened that he thought something had been reported again, and almost got angry. Unexpectedly, the school officials had been looking for him for a whole day but couldn't find him. Now that they were blocked, they immediately asked him to go to Sikong Mansion.
Today, Sikong has been summoning him all day long. Zhang Han quickly drove away in a car and arrived at Sikong's mansion not long after. After the notification, there were angry curses inside.
Looking at Xu Chu standing at the door, Zhang Han suddenly felt like he had seen it before, "This scene... is too familiar."
"Zhongkang, how is your mood, my lord?"
When Xu Chu heard this, he immediately changed his direction and murmured in a low voice: "I have something to worry about. I'm afraid it won't be easy to get through today."
Zhang Han rolled his eyes and curled his lips.
That's it, I can get by on weekdays basically because Boss Cao is in a good mood, and Little Boss Cao is always around, so it's not easy to get angry.
There is something bothering you today, but you can't find me. The more anxious you are, the less likely you are to find a solution. You must be filled with anger now.
If he didn't have any achievements to offer, he would not be happy. Zhang Han thought hard and "searched the intestines and scraped the belly", but he really couldn't scrape it out.
There was no good news except for the bad news. The incident involving Yang Xiu the day before yesterday was probably over.
"What should I do?" Zhang Han glanced at Dian Wei.
"Are you Junhou asking me?" Dian Wei's eyes widened and he spread his hands.
At this point, they could only bite the bullet and go in. Zhang Han and Dian Wei stepped towards the lobby stairs, and Cao Cao's angry curses could be heard from far above.
Then one person stumbled out, fell out of the door, then immediately got up, straightened his clothes and walked out.
He was a young man holding a sword and wearing light armor. The beard on his face was like ink stains. He was quite handsome, but his helmet fell a little crooked, covering half of his face.
When he saw Zhang Han, he immediately felt as if he had seen a savior. He ran over and said, "Shaoqing, you are finally here. Today, the master is furious and wants to remove you from your post."
"So serious?" Zhang Han leaned back slightly and subconsciously avoided the young Su Wei's hand.
"It's really serious. It seems that there is something bothering me. My lord can't make a decision. I asked Jijiu and Fujun successively. They had different opinions, so you are the third person."
"oh!"
I can actually play a decisive role. Zhang Han touched the stubble on his chin, wondering what could make Cao Cao so upset.
"By the way, who are you?"
"I am the newly appointed deputy commander of the Suwei Camp, Xia Houen. His courtesy name is Yuanmiao. I have heard about Shaoqing's name for a long time. Please take good care of me in the future."
Oh, Sword God Xiahou En!
Zhang Han immediately stood in awe, and was really embarrassed to see the Sword God being kicked out.
"It's easy to talk about. You go ahead and I'll go in and persuade my dear father-in-law."
My, what, father-in-law? !
Xia Houen was stunned and stared at Zhang Han dumbfounded. He didn't understand why he could say such words openly.
Not ashamed at all? You should always feel embarrassed.
"Master, please come in."
…
When Zhang Han entered the hall, Cao Cao threw a volume of books three steps in front of him.
"Zhang Shaoqing, you are so difficult to invite. I sent people to Dali Temple three times to look for you, but even the temple officials don't know where you have gone."
"You handed over all the case responsibilities to the newly appointed subordinate officers and ran away by yourself?!"
"Zhang Shaoqing, I don't ask you to dedicate yourself to your duties. You are in the official office after all!"
Cao Cao was about to flip the table now. When he couldn't find anything on weekdays, he imagined that one day, when there was an emergency and Zhang Han couldn't be found, he would be so angry that he would scream.
Unexpectedly, this day finally came.
However, every time this happens, Zhang Han always has a new reason, but Cao Cao still has some expectations in his heart.
What if Zhang Han can still come up with a reasonable reason this time?
At this moment, Zhang Han walked towards him quickly with a smile on his face, groveling and showing his joy, his eyes almost narrowed like crescent moons.
"I went to survey public opinion, listen to what the people said, and see about the winter irrigation. I have already told the temple minister about these things," Zhang Hanlian changed and immediately became serious, "Did he forget that he was old!?"
"Or is someone trying to harm me secretly?"
"What does it have to do with you?" Cao Cao looked at him angrily, "What does the irrigation of winter water have to do with you now? Won't Xu Dufu Yin go and see it himself?"
"You just neglected your duties and went to have fun and eat wild game in the mountains, right?"
"Come on, come on, tell me what the situation is like. I'm all ears." Cao Cao waved him to sit in front of him, so angry that he even became interested.
After Zhang Han sat down, he said with a smile: "After these years of military settlement, the people have a lot of food in store, but there is still not much minced meat at home."
"The butchers on the street can only buy some when they slaughter pigs and sheep every year, or exchange them with grain."
"But it's not much." Zhang Han came closer with interest and said, "Father-in-law, my son-in-law heard about a method. As long as you cut off the little pig... you can gain 200 kilograms a year. , if we can come to the whole township and county to try raising them, maybe there will be surprises next year."
"Haha," Cao Cao laughed out of anger for a moment, "He left his post without permission and ran out, and then he sent me this news."
When you say "gathering pig" in front of me, are you swearing? !
Cao Cao's breathing stagnated, and he felt extremely awkward, staring at Zhang Han expressionlessly.
But soon, he shook his head secretly. He knew that Zhang Han would not have such thoughts. He was already Cao's son-in-law. If he really wanted to scold others in secret, wouldn't he also scold himself?
Although Zhang Han often misbehaves, he is not this kind of person.
This should be true. This method can really increase the production of minced meat, enrich the food of the people, and increase the number of butchers and merchants.
"You don't have to try it. The male pig doesn't think about lust. He only knows how to eat and sleep. He doesn't do any serious work. He can indeed become fat and shiny. He is somewhat similar to some people." Cao Cao looked up at Zhang Han with disgust.
Zhang Han was stunned. He felt that he had been scolded, but there was no evidence.
At this moment, Zhang Han came up with some interesting discoveries, which are worthy of implementation. If it can really increase production, it will be a good strategy, so that all the people can eat minced meat, and the butchers on the market can sell more. The food stored in that house can be exchanged for other things.
"The pig's teeth are good", this is a saying stated in the Book of Changes, which means that after the boar is castrated, even if it still has sharp teeth, it will not cause harm.
Cao Cao generally understood this truth, but since the beginning of the Han Dynasty, there has been no one better than doctors who use this method. However, doctors do not bother to do this. There should be another type of folk workers who can learn the techniques from doctors and then walk in the world. The village pavilion is used to perform castration.
In this way, it can be implemented and let Man Chong do it. Zhang Han can notice the details of the people in these villages, which shows that he has really observed it. It shows that he is not only derelict in his duties, but also a dog trying to catch a mouse. have a finger in the pie.
Thinking of this, Cao Cao rolled his eyes at him again.
When Zhang Han saw this look, he immediately understood. It should be almost done, so he cupped his hands and said, "Father-in-law, why are you calling my son-in-law today?"
Cao Cao's face wrinkled when he heard this title. He called him "lord" when he had nothing to do, "teacher" when he was flattering, and "father-in-law" when he made a mistake.
"There is indeed something that is quite troublesome," Cao Cao said with a gasp, "Liu Bei was the Prime Minister of the Liang Kingdom. He did everything personally and benefited the people. He won the hearts of the people. Last night, the local elders sent a letter of ten thousand people to the emperor. I am grateful and praise Liu Bei for his abilities."
"This matter is not simple."
The local elders belong to the gentry and wealthy families, which shows that these people have been attracted by Liu Bei. It would be okay if he did not have such charisma, but relied on coercion and inducement in secret. What is most worrying is that he really has such charisma and talent.
Only then can we win the hearts of the people.
"Liu Bei's ability to win over the people is only half a point away from catching up with me." Cao Cao said worriedly.
Zhang Han next to him glanced at him. His face was sullen at first, but for some reason he wanted to laugh, and he almost laughed out of his tense face.
Whatever comes to mind.
Zhang Han immediately repeated what Jia Xu said yesterday.
After hearing this, Cao Cao relaxed his brows and nodded thoughtfully: "Yes, this plan can eliminate Liu Bei's family background, but it can also make him meritorious."
Zhang Han thought for a while and sighed: "My lord, fighting for the Han Dynasty is not a waste of time, but what he wants. If you give this opportunity, in fact, Xuande Gong will be ecstatic, and he will definitely thank you. , This will destroy his family fortune, needless to say."
"Well," Cao Cao squinted his eyes, and then a smile appeared on his face. When he looked at Zhang Han, he suddenly felt comfortable again.
Hey, this kid is really... At times like this, he can always come up with some clever ideas. The troubles that were originally tangled were solved instantly, so he took Liu Bei to the battlefield and entrusted him with important tasks to make contributions to the big man. !
"As for the meritorious service, if we are defeated, don't think too much. If we return with a great victory, your Majesty will definitely summon the meritorious officials. We will talk about it when the time comes," Zhang Han said sincerely as he handed over his hand.
