Great Wei Nengchen

…………

Facing different guests, different etiquette should be used. To Liang Xiaoyu, it is a friend's loyalty, to Sima Fang, it is a junior's respect. Xiao Yi led civil and military officials, and personally greeted them in a big tent. , and there are attendants playing gag music!

Sima Fang is over sixty years old, his beard and hair are all gray, but he is tall, walks like flying, and speaks with a strong voice. Behind him are two young men, both of whom are handsome. They are the third son - Sima Fu and the fourth son - Sima Kui!

The Sima family has a profound heritage. Its ancestor was Chongli, the son of the great emperor Zhuanxu. Later, Xia Guan was changed to "Sima", and his descendants took Sima as their surname.

After the Xia, Shang, Zhou, Qin, and Han dynasties, the Sima family has been officials for generations, and there have been countless princes and generals. , Sima Ang was the king of Yin and his capital was Hanoi, so Sima’s family had a prince.)

Sima Fangju was born in Xiaolian, served successively as prefect, Luoyang magistrate, Jing Zhaoyin... He is fair and upright, and good at supporting the younger generation, so he has a very good reputation in the officialdom. His eight sons are all talented people, and the world calls him "Sima" Bada', Tsukatora-Sima Yi is the second son!

It's just that he came from a noble background and was a clean official, so he didn't get such respect from Xiao Yi. For more than ten years in the world, Xiao Yi has met and killed many important people, such as the elders of the three dynasties, the elders of the four dynasties, the Xiongnu Shanyu, and King Hujie ... What is a Jing Zhaoyin?

Sima Fang's greatest asset was when he was serving as the Luoyang Order, he recommended a young man with dirty background and unattractive appearance to take up the position of "Luoyang North Captain". This young man later rose up by taking advantage of the situation, took the emperor to command the princes, and became the uncrowned king --That is Cao Cao!

In other words, on Cao Cao's official career, Sima Fang was his guide. In other words, if he had the kindness of knowing him, he should repay him with a fountain. Now that Cao Cao is the prime minister and Duke Wei, he can He still respects Sima Fang, and takes special care of his family!

Xiao Yi is Cao Cao's son-in-law, so he naturally has to respect his seniors. From this point, it can be seen that the court really put in their best efforts to invite Sima Fang to be the shepherd of Yuzhou. Can't deter this greedy wolf!

Next, everyone returned to the big tent, and after the guests and hosts were seated, Xiao Yi asked someone to set up a banquet to cleanse Sima Fang from the dust. While drinking and eating meat, they discussed business matters...

"The battle of the Southern Expedition failed, the army suffered heavy casualties, Sun and Liu Erni were extremely rampant, and the people of the imperial court were panic-stricken, thinking that the lands of Jingxiang and Wanluo were difficult to defend, and they all wanted to move their capitals to Hebei to avoid their edge!

Fortunately, Da Sima was ordered to meet the enemy with his strength and perseverance. He defended Xiangyang in the first battle, defeated the enemy's spirit in the second battle, and lost his famous general in the third battle.

On the way to the triumphant return of the army, Da Sima killed corrupt officials to clean up the government, and dug mines to save the people. Countless people survived, and their kindness was manifested.

An old man who is about to die, he wants to spend his time in the forest and take care of himself, but he doesn't want to be recruited by the imperial court, and he entrusts a big official to seal the border. , Let the people live and work in peace and contentment? "

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Sima Fang started to make moves, and his words were airtight. He not only praised Xiao Yi's achievements, but also made his own demands. He is indeed a veteran of the officialdom!

What does it mean to use the land of Yuzhou to raise the people of Yuzhou? It is to ask for the interests of the mining area as the state shepherd, and he is worried that he is not enough, so he moved Cao Cao out.

Don't forget, Cao Cao is from Yuzhou-Peiguoqiao County. No matter how much achievements a person has made and how powerful he is, he should work for the well-being of his hometown, otherwise he will be infamous. As a son-in-law, Xiao Yi should naturally do his part mind.

"It is the duty of a soldier to put on a strong and persistent head and lead the battle without worry. How dare he be praised by Duke Jiang? As for punishing corrupt officials in a small way, and searching for mines to help the people, it is just accidental.

Now that I think about it carefully, governing the people is a major matter for the country, and it is planned by the princes of the court. I don't have to worry about a warrior who meddles in it randomly.

Everyone in the world thinks I'm cruel, and secretly calls me the "God of Killing". They don't know that Wuchou is kind by nature and doesn't like killing at all. Jiangong is a veteran of the four dynasties and an important minister of the country. "

Xiao Yi knew in his heart that it was impossible for him to monopolize the huge benefits of the mine, and the seemingly gentle old man in front of him could not be easily offended:

For one thing, I was just passing through Runan County, but Sima Fang was Yuzhou Mu. As the saying goes, a strong dragon will not overwhelm a local snake. Once the army leaves here, many important things in the mine cannot be done without the support of the Yuzhou Mufu.

Second, most of the official positions in the 37 counties of Runan County are taken over by students. If they want to have a smooth career and a higher career, they cannot do without the care of Sima Fang, the state herdsman!

But the mine that I have worked so hard to dig, how can I share it easily? It has to be exchanged for benefits. I have offended a lot of people by killing corrupt officials before, and meddling in the administration of Yuzhou at will will also attract courtiers The impeachment, this matter must be settled by Sima Fang.

"As an important minister of the imperial court, Da Sima purged the officials and cared for the common people, which is just and proper. How can he talk about overstepping his position? If all the officials in the world were like this, the great man would have already achieved peace in the world!

To eliminate corrupt officials, it is inevitable to use some thunderbolt means, which is also reasonable. Whoever dares to impeach indiscriminately, even if I risk my life, I will have to debate with him! "

After many years of ups and downs in the officialdom, Sima Fang had already cultivated into an old fox, and immediately acted like he was filled with righteous indignation. He slapped the table, but he had other thoughts in his heart...

Everyone in the world said: Xiao Lang is both civil and military, black-bellied and ruthless. He has both the strategy of governing the country and the means of fighting for power. '

"Jiangong understands righteousness, and this junior is very grateful. Come here, take two of the roasted 'land sheep', and ask Jiangong to taste it carefully. This is a rare delicacy!"

With Xiao Yi waving his hands, the soldiers brought two pieces of barbecue meat, both weighing three to four catties, golden in color and emitting a strong aroma!

Ground sheep, also known as zokor, is a burrowing animal about the size of a rabbit. It feeds on plant roots and seeds, and has the habit of storing grain for the winter. Its meat is delicious, and its bones, liver, and gallbladder can be used as medicine.

Half of the food in the army was used to help the hungry people, but the soldiers couldn't go hungry either. There are many hills in Runan County, which are rich in various burrowing animals. Xiao Yi ordered the soldiers to dig the ground to get meat to supplement the shortage of army rations!

Bringing up two sheep now is not for Sima Fang to "have fun" with the soldiers, but for Xiao Yi to imply that this kind of "good thing" dug up can be divided into two for guests, that is, two of the mine. Income!

Pingdingshan is rich in mineral deposits and has huge profits, [-]% of which is already an astronomical figure. Sima Fang secretly weighed it up, thinking that it can stop the mouths of civil and military officials and noble families.

So he gladly accepted this delicacy, regardless of the gentleness of the elders of the four dynasties, he directly picked up a ground sheep, and the mouth was full of oil, just for this good appetite, it would be no problem to live another 20 years. People seem to have a long lifespan?

Next, the two sides chatted for a while, Xiao Yi felt that it was almost done, and was about to serve tea to see off the guests, but unexpectedly, another unexpected 'surprise' happened...

"In the past, Emperor Gao conquered Qin in three years and destroyed Chu in five years. After a hundred battles, he finally won the world. Afterwards, he criticized the civil and military officials, and took Wen Zhonghou (Xiao He) as the first hero. All the officials admired him!

I heard that Da Sima was born noble, he was the direct descendant of Marquis Wen Zhong, but because of the turmoil in the court, he lost his hereditary title and was living in the wilderness, what a sigh!

Now that Da Sima has achieved great success, why not rebuild the genealogy and announce it to the world, so as to comfort the ancestors of the Xiao family. The Sima family is not talented, and I would like to form a good family with the Xiao family, and the descendants will help each other from generation to generation! "

Sima Fang didn't speak much, but it was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky. Xiao Yi's soul trembled, and he became alert instantly. He didn't expect that the noble family group had such a big appetite, not only wanting the interests of the mine, but also pulling Xiao Yi's family Join?

Aristocrats is a collective name for 'family status, family history', referring to the famous families who have been officials for generations. They have a deep foundation and a large number of talents, forming a huge political group and almost monopolizing the career path!

Especially during the Han Dynasty, the clan group was so powerful that it could decide the national policy, the candidates to replace the emperor, and even change the dynasty. Some people even commented: Ten years of power, a century of dynasty, and a thousand years of clan!

For example, Lu Chan, Tian Fu, Huo Guang, Liang Ji, He Jin... are all influential figures in the Han Dynasty. ruined.

The Xia, Shang, Zhou, Qin, and Han dynasties opened up territories and lands, and their names are recorded in the annals of history. However, their lifespans were short for decades, and they lasted for hundreds of years. For a long time, even dating back to the period of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors!

Of course, the number and members of clans are not fixed, and some political struggles failed, and they ended up beheaded, such as Wang Mang's family and Dou Xian's family, they withdrew from the stage of history!

There are also ordinary families who become members of powerful clans as their power continues to rise, such as the families of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. Before the Eastern Han Dynasty, they were not well-known.

Of course, if you want to become a member of the clan, you must not only be powerful, but also have the same interests as the clan group, gain the approval of the old clan, and form a relationship that hurts all and prospers all!

Don't look at Cao Cao's majesty, but in the eyes of the gentry group, he really didn't like this troubled hero, because according to the development model of the Cao family, he would prosper for decades at most, and then he would disappear. At that time, the world was still a gentry The world of powerful people!

Xiao Yi is different, he is invincible, invincible, and has the power to run the government, he is already the top dignitary, what is even more powerful is that Xiao Yi founded the Zhengming Academy, breaking the tyranny of the gentry. monopoly!

The school has been established for six years, and has trained a large number of students. They are capable of governing the country with literature, peace with martial arts, prosperity with business, and education with farming... They are all useful talents, and they are gradually becoming official careers. The great purge in Runan County, That is the best proof.

If things continue like this, more and more children from the school will gradually move towards the military, government, agriculture, and business strata, and take the dominant position, forming a huge school group, replacing the current powerful group, and becoming the new controller of the country!

The living space was oppressed, the powerful group was terrified, and there was nothing they could do about Xiao Yi, so after repeated discussions, they decided to turn the enemy into a friend and a family, and offered Xiao Yi an olive branch through Sima Fang's appointment as the shepherd of Yuzhou!

The heads of many powerful clans also discussed that as long as Xiao Yi nodded in agreement and became a member of the clan, and then transformed the Zhengming Academy into a school for noble clans, they would fully support Xiao Yi, replace Cao Cao's political status, and become the new uncrowned king , and even help him start a new dynasty!

Chapter 1361 Recruiting Talents, Growing Wings ([-])

"Jianggong is a veteran of the four dynasties and an important minister of the country. Today, he came to the army, and you have not come forward to toast!"

"I'm waiting to wish Jiangong good health and a long life!"

"Successful drink--Successful drink, let's get drunk today!"

…………

It was about the family's future and the country's destiny, Xiao Yi was also a little flustered, while making his subordinates toast to delay time; while trying to stabilize his mind, he carefully weighed the pros and cons!
