Afraid!
The reason why Jushou left Guangchang at this time was that he was afraid.
He was not afraid that Zhang Sheng would do something bad to him. He was afraid of aristocratic families, wealthy families, big families, and the court. He was afraid that these people would unite to deal with Guangchang and the Anping Army.
He just said that Guangchang Xingyi Granary, borrowing grain, and giving porridge are not as good as Zilu.
Among them, Zilu giving porridge is an allusion. The story happened in the Spring and Autumn Period. Zilu served as the county magistrate of the Ji Sun family in the State of Lu. At that time, the Ji Sun family ordered the people to dig a long trench because these people needed to work for the country for free and the country did not To provide food, Zilu saw the hard work of the people, so he used his own savings to buy rice and cook porridge for the people digging trenches.
After Confucius heard about it, he was very angry. He sent Zigong to smash the pot where Zilu was serving porridge, and asked Zilu why he did this.
Zilu thought he was practicing benevolence, but Confucius explained that according to Zhou Rites, the emperor should love the princes, the princes should love the nurses and officials, and the scholar-officials should love the people. However, Zilu's behavior exceeded the scope of his duties and was suspected of exceeding his authority. Confucius also He pointed out that even if you are benevolent, you must abide by the etiquette. Later, Ji Sun's envoy came to Confucius and accused Confucius of condoning Zi Lu. In order to maintain the etiquette and his own reputation, Confucius had to apologize to Ji Sun and let Zi Lu leave. Lu State.
Jushuo used this allusion to secretly remind Zhang Sheng that his righteous deeds should be the responsibilities of the country. What Zhang Sheng is doing now is ultra vires, an invitation to win people's hearts, and a naked contempt for the court's laws. How can it be clear that the contrary intention is clear? Can it end well?
Of course, Jushou's reminder finally fell on his last words, which is really a blessing for the people of Guangchang.
Blessings and misfortunes depend on it!
Yes, what he said was a blessing was a curse. What he really wanted to say was that Zhang Sheng's actions were not far from causing death.
This is also the reason why Zhang Sheng thinks that Jushu, a famous person from a small family, still has a little conscience in his heart. Jushou secretly nodded at Zhang Sheng with what he thought was profound words in order to reassure himself. However, he did not know that the thieves in front of him with a humble background knew exactly the allusion of Zilu giving porridge to Zigong and smashing the pot.
Zhang Sheng turned around and looked at Jushou intently for a long time, already having some calculations in his heart.
In the eyes of others, he is just a thief, so why should he pretend to be a gentleman?
"Hahaha, listening to the words of the county prince, I am relatively satisfied with the current measures taken by Guangchang. Hehehe, this is good. At least it shows that the results of my hard work and effort to share the county prince's worries are not bad, and no trouble has been caused. , in this case, the county king might as well stay in Guangchang for a while. Now, the territory of Guangchang is not very peaceful. I am afraid that the county king will be robbed when he leaves. Therefore, from now on, if there is no accident, The county prince had better not step out of Guangchang City easily."
Zhang Sheng pretended to be dumbfounded and climbed directly along the pole. After saying a few words, without waiting for the surprised Ju Shou to react, he turned to Lin You at the door of the main hall and ordered: "Captain Lin, from now on, the county and temple will send more manpower." , Take good care of Lord Juxian and his family."
"Well, don't worry, Junhou, I will take care of the county prince later."
Lin You had heard Zhang Sheng's words to Ju Shou just now. When he heard the Junhou's instructions to him, he immediately realized what the Junhou meant by taking care of him, and loudly agreed to take up the task.
"Zhang Sheng?"
Jushou had already realized at this time that he was under house arrest. He was anxious and shouted out in a hurry.
"Juxian Jun, I forgive you. You are the county king personally appointed by the imperial court. If you leave your post easily without permission, wouldn't you be betraying the favor of the king and the people? Furthermore, you are so willful that you are the pick of the county king. How can you live up to the sages and ancestors if you just throw your ass away? This is also for the sake of the county king. I'm sorry, it's getting late, so the county king will stay here, so there is no need to send him far away."
Zhang Sheng glanced at Ju Shou, who was approaching him anxiously, and warned him with the words he just said, and then turned around and left the county temple.
Sample, you can stay if you want and leave if you want. Where do you think Guangchang is? Do you think the Anping Army is just a decoration?
Looking at Zhang Sheng disappearing into the night, Jushu's mouth felt astringent. He really wanted to give himself a mouthful. It was a good thing, why should he talk too much?
Whether it's Zilu or Zhang, they just distribute food and porridge, and cause trouble and behead their heads. Why should I talk too much?
Zhang Sheng had no intention of paying attention to Jushou anymore. He visited Jushou at night today. It can be said that he gained a lot. Jushou's reaction made Zhang Sheng realize one thing.
information!
Originally, Zhang Sheng thought that he could occupy Guangchang, stabilize the four passes, and that he could use the troops to cover up the water and earth, and develop himself with peace of mind. Now it seems that this is a bit passive. The Anping Army still needs to have an advanced source of information in order to deal with an issue. If the situation can be responded to earlier, the construction of information channels will follow up.
"Lao Chuang, select people, choose people who are loyal, down-to-earth, smart and capable. It is best to have family members in Guangchang. There is no limit on young or old. The selected people will be grouped into teams and sent to Lingqiu and Puyin one after another. , Yu County and Yixian, let them integrate into it with various identities. Their work does not require fighting, as long as they can collect information from all parties, filter out the ones that are useful to us or that we want to pass back. "
The first time he returned to the general's mansion, Zhang Sheng asked everyone to rest, leaving only Zhou Chuang to explain his mission. In this era without instant communication, all sources of information can only rely on manpower.
Zhou Chuang, who already understood Zhang Sheng's character, looked at Zhang Sheng helplessly and said, "Careful work? Mr. Lang, can you change it to someone else?"
For someone else?
No need to change!
There is no accumulation, and there are only a few people available. Who should I replace?
"Lao Chuang, this matter must be yours. These people are only under the command of you and me. Unless there are special circumstances, their identities will be kept confidential." Zhang Sheng directly rejected Zhou Chuang's request for substitution.
"Okay, how many people?" Since he couldn't refuse, Zhou Chuang could only accept it.
"For the first team, let's select fifty people first. The states and counties outside Guangchang will all send people there..." Zhang Sheng explained to Zhou Chuang one by one what he could think of.
"Lang Jun, actually, there is a person more suitable than me for this matter, but I don't know if you dare to use it?" After listening to Zhang Sheng's explanation, Zhou Chuang thought about it and did not agree to the matter in one go. Instead, he proposed it again made his own suggestions.
"who?"
Zhang Sheng was confused, how could anyone be more suitable than Zhou Chuang? I searched my mind and counted all the crooked melons and jujubes under my hands. After thinking about it, it was Zhou Chuang who had some loyalty and experience. How could there be anyone more suitable than him?
"Zhen Ping!"
Zhang Sheng said a person's name lightly...
