Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 370
Huang Zhong took the initiative to vote. Generally speaking, he is more happy than worried, which is a great thing.

Moreover, in Wang Zheng's mind, although General Zhonglang is different today, he still has some weight after all. In addition, Huang Zhong has left his hometown and traveled thousands of miles to Xuzhou. Even if he has not joined the team for the time being, Wang Zheng is also confident. That's all.

Leaving joy and worries aside for the time being, looking sideways at Zhang Zhao, Wang Zheng stood up at his desk, and asked warmly, "By the way, sir, is there something wrong to visit at this time?"

"My lord, I see." Zhang Zhao nodded and said, "When I was at the government office in the afternoon, I heard the officers talking about what happened in the afternoon. May I ask my lord, have you ever sent someone to the city to inquire about it, how is the reputation now?"

"That's not true." Wang Zheng shook his head: "Mr.

Having said that, Wang Zheng paused for a moment, thinking for a while: "Can we do something about this matter?"

"Exactly." Zhang Zhao cupped his hands and said, "My lord traveled from Qingzhou to Xuzhou at the beginning of the year, and in less than a year he managed to conquer the whole territory. It can be said that he has great martial arts skills. This warrior surnamed Huang came all the way to vote, which proves that the lord is now famous. Solid, there is the image of a gathering of shadows."

"It can be predicted that there will be many heroes from all over the world who will go to Xuzhou in the future, but today I heard that when this man clashed with my officials, the people on the sidelines looked like they were gloating, but it reflects that today, the hearts of the people in Xiapi are still not satisfied. what."

Where is "not yet done".
It's like treating me like a hater.

Thinking of what he saw in the afternoon, Wang Zheng felt a little unhappy, and his face turned slightly cold: "What you said is true, sir, is there any way to alleviate it?"

Since he entered Xuzhou, Pengcheng, who had just been wiped out by Cao Cao, had the quickest support among the people. Kaiyang also had both grace and power, and with the cooperation of the aristocratic family, the results were also extremely fast.

This is the first time he has come across the situation here in Xiapi. If we talk about the reason, on the one hand, the imprint of "Qingzhou" of the Tianjun is too deep, and in the eyes of these Xuzhou people, it is an uninvited guest from outside; on the other hand, I am afraid it is Liu Bei. The charm value is too high, very popular.

Taking a peek at autumn leaves, since Xiapi City is like this, other cities in the county may not be much better, and even Donghai will have such hidden dangers.

"Report to my lord." Zhang Zhao was refreshed when he heard the words, and he started to talk eloquently after being prepared: "After hearing this, before coming to the lord's mansion, I also went to the streets with a few followers in person to find some people to gather in the streets and alleys. Wherever you go, listen to the opinions of the people.”

"However, in some restaurants and teahouses, or where Zhangtai is located, the people are all talking about it, and most of them still praise the wiseness of the lord."

Seeing that Wang Zheng's expression softened a little, Zhang Zhaofang continued: "Of course, occasionally there are some ignorant people who make some strange complaints, such as those who live in the inner city, or say that the Lord's actions are to buy people's hearts, such as those who live in the outer city. It is said that the punishment of the lord is too light, and there is a suspicion of exalting it lightly."

"The same kind of rice feeds a hundred kinds of people." Wang Zheng didn't care about this point: "Who can satisfy everyone? Just as the master said, Xiapi was newly attached soon, and the people felt nostalgic for the old master, and they gave birth to me. The heart of resentment and hope is common sense of all people, and it would be understandable."

"However." Speaking of this, Wang Zheng said solemnly: "If you don't clear it up early, disaster will happen sooner or later."

"My lord sees it clearly." Zhang Zhao nodded happily when he heard the words: "The embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed by an ant's nest. My lord sees it and knows it. It is very wise to have such concerns."

"If you want to dispel grievances and repay people's hearts, this cannot be solved by martial arts. Therefore, in my opinion, the next step is to focus on literary matters."

"Oh?" Wang Zheng asked: "In my opinion, sir, how should we go about this writing?"

"It's better to be quick rather than late." Zhang Zhao stared at Wang Zheng, and said word by word: "It's better to be slow than urgent!"

Wang Zheng was taken aback, these two sentences seemed contradictory at first glance.

He looked solemn, straightened his body immediately, and looked at Zhang Zhao with burning eyes: "I would like to hear the details."

"Among the Lilu, the rumors are very fast. Those who hold resentment and those who speak rudely are a small number. It doesn't matter at all, but if the government does not immediately issue corresponding countermeasures to guide the people, it will inevitably accumulate and form an ant colony. , spread and spread, so now that this matter has been discovered, it is necessary to make a decision and respond quickly, sooner rather than later."

"However, people's hearts cannot be changed overnight. No matter what the strategy is, it is impossible to achieve it overnight. Therefore, I must first make it clear to the lord that this matter should not be rushed, let alone rush, otherwise it will be too late."

"Therefore, it's better to be slow than hasty."

Wang Zheng nodded again and again, agreeing to this basic principle, but how to operate it?
He thought of some methods just now, but he always felt that it was not perfect enough, so he looked at Zhang Zhao eagerly, and said with a smile, "Mr.

Raising a problem without a solution is a big taboo, whether it is between today's ministers or in the workplace of future generations.

It’s easier to say in the workplace, making your superiors and bosses think you are an idiot and incompetent, at most you will lose a job, and in this feudal age of monarchy, the price of making the lord feel dissatisfied is not so light.

Wang Zheng didn't think Zhang Zhao would make such a low-level mistake.

"I think education is the first thing to do to rectify customs. In order to win the hearts of scholars, didn't my lord ask all the states and counties to recommend talents and send them to Xiapi?"

Zhang Zhao took out the written note from his pocket and handed it to Wang Zheng respectfully. Of course, because of the rush of time, the note there was written in a rather brief manner. At this moment, he sorted out the thoughts in his heart and wrote them one by one: " I have six counties in Xuzhou, and there are nearly a hundred counties. It is expected that there must be a lot of scribes sent from various places. If we only rely on the vacant positions in our mansion to accommodate them, first, it may not be enough. Second, how can these people be? I don’t know, if you promise to be an official in a hurry, if the virtue is not worthy, it will easily make the people resentful.”

"I think that the lord can take this opportunity to choose good and practical people, and form another mansion. In the name of emphasizing education, we will practice the reality of customs and do a lot of education."

While looking at Zhang Zhao's note and listening to Zhang Zhao's eloquence, Wang Zheng probably understood the opponent's strategy.

The key is to take advantage of the situation and show favor.

To put it simply, we used false names to win over the local gentry in Xuzhou, use their mouths to promote the wisdom of the king's government, and pay less and more love to the common people.

After careful analysis, in fact, Wang Zheng has been implementing this plan intentionally or unintentionally for reasons of later generations. Perhaps Zhang Zhao also guessed Wang Zheng's intentions from the previous clues, not only proposed it on his own initiative, but also made the policy concrete and clear. .

Of course, the difficulty in turning from a vague idea into a practical plan is sometimes very great, and those who can complete this step are actually the real leaders in every era.

Looking at Zhang Zhao, Wang Zheng became more and more satisfied. It is no wonder that later generations are as proud and arrogant as Sun Ce. When he was dying, he could say "Ask Zhang Zhao if the internal affairs are undecided". In terms of internal affairs, it is indeed much better than Mi Heng.

"Mr.'s opinion is exactly the same as mine!" Wang Zheng laughed and stood up, clapping his hands and praising him: "A true genius."

Fenghou is the title of Xiao He, the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty.

"After the gathering of civil and military personnel tomorrow, after the discussion, it will be handled according to this!"

Zhang Zhao was overjoyed, the more the two talked, the more speculative they became. It was the time when the monarch and his ministers met each other, but suddenly there was a strange sound, Wang Zheng was startled, and followed the sound and forgot.

It was Zhang Zhao who came to discuss the matter without having dinner, and at this time the internal organs protested.

Wang Zheng was quite moved: "Sir, you put your heart into it!" Immediately he ordered his personal guards to buy meals and send them up.

While waiting for dinner, Zhang Zhao remembered something and asked:

"My lord's new warrior, I only heard that his surname is Huang, but I don't know what his name is? Where did he come from?"

"Huang Zhong, from Nanyang, Jingzhou."

From Jingzhou?
Zhang Zhaoxian was taken aback, there is still a Yangzhou between these two places, the distance is more than a thousand miles?It can be seen that the other party is very determined to contribute, so he nodded:
"Good name, I hope he will be both a general and a loyal minister in the future, how will the lord plan to arrange it?"

If it was just a person with extraordinary bravery, Wang Zheng's original plan was to send him to the army, starting from a pawn. After all, the ancients had already summed up the way of employing people.

But Huang Zhong is not an ordinary person, not to mention that the other party made such a big sacrifice in order to rely on him, and the reason why he left Liu Biao was that he was not reused.

While thinking about it, Wang Zheng tapped the keyboard and said after a while: "Let him be a captain first, and then send him to Langya after a year."

Hearing this, Zhang Zhao hesitated for a while, is the offer too high?
But after thinking about it again and again, he still didn't say the words of admonition.

For one thing, he brought up this topic for the sake of chatting, rather than really interfering in military affairs.

Second, it was indeed too high to give the captain at the beginning, but the appointment of Langya after the year, combined with Zhang Zhao's knowledge of Wang Zheng's strategic plan for the next year, the intention is already obvious.

This is to let Huang Zhong go to the battlefield to make meritorious service as soon as he joins the army, it can be said that he does not value it.

According to Zhang Zhao's guess, Wang Zheng was sure that Huang Zhong would perform well in this battle, and then he would continue to promote this person in a grand manner.

That being the case, why should he be ignorant?
So in the end Zhang Zhao nodded again and again, as if he was very appreciative.

"Extraordinary people do extraordinary things."

"My lord is wise."

Three days before New Year's Day.

For a whole day, many carriages came to Xiapi city, and there was an endless stream.After entering the city, there were yamen servants in the front to clear the way, and there were Qingqi guards in the back. They made a big noise and went around the city for a circle. Then they turned to the south of the city and rushed towards the newly built government school.

Xiapi originally had a ready-made official school, but the area was too small, and because there were too many big households in the inner city, it was not easy to expand it. , named "Boju"

Bo Zhe, Bo Le Ye, Ju Zhe, Maxima Ye, Wang Zheng chose this name to imply that he hopes that countless good talents and beautiful jade will emerge here, and he will never let them be buried.

Of course, as soon as the foreign scholars entered the venue, it was naturally impossible to enter the pavilion directly. The nearby post stations and dwellings had already been repaired by Zhang Zhao, and they were only used for reception temporarily.

A few days ago, Wang Zheng ordered all places to recommend scholars. At that time, there was a special request. Except for Taishan County, which is not in Xuzhou, scholars from all counties must send a batch before New Year's Day, so as to participate in a series of sacrificial ceremonies held on New Year's Day. .

Youdao is "new year, new atmosphere". Doing so will also help to declare to Xuzhou's aristocratic families and people that the newly established Xuzhou government respects Confucianism and culture, and facilitates the development of governance in the coming year.

With such political factors included, the work of receiving scholars is very important. After Wang Zheng thought about it, he handed it over to Chen Yu.

Chen Yu is the patriarch of the Chen family, the largest family in Xiapi. His father is a Taiwei, and he himself was the governor of Yangzhou. His nephew Chen Deng is currently the No. 1 among the younger generation in Xuzhou. No. 1, who is doing his part in Wenburi under his command, can be described as perfect.

Chen Yu has indeed done a good job. The aristocratic families in the Han Dynasty are well-known and well-known to the world. Regardless of other things, the way of Confucian classics must be extraordinary. Chen Yu is not only excellent in Confucian classics, but also good in etiquette and appearance. In terms of attitude, Chen Yu Yu also attaches great importance to it.

The so-called old people are not old, the older Chen Yu is, the more he pays attention to the gains and losses of fame and fortune in his mind. Confession, Chen Yu really tried all his strengths, never seeking the best, only seeking better.

Efforts must be rewarded. After this day, Chen Yu talked with scholars from all over the world about the scriptures and the Tao. There is a wave of presence, which is full of praise. It is said that Mr. Gongwei is a real countryman.

Between the frothing, it was already busy from day to night.

Finally sent another group of scholars out of the gate, Chen Yu rarely had a moment of leisure, ran to the inner hall to pick up a tea bowl and had a meal of beef, and when he came out again he resumed his calm and celebrity demeanor.

"Is everyone here?" He looked at the official who was checking the roster in front of him and asked, his voice was a little hoarse, but his spirit became more and more excited, as if he was not tired.

Chen Yu likes to communicate with these young scholars, and the eyes around him are full of admiration and admiration, which makes him feel like a fish in water, as if he has regained the feeling of being surrounded by stars when he was in Yangzhou.

Moreover, although there are many talents in Xuzhou, the average level is not high due to the years of war. When communicating with these people, Chen Yu can easily gain a sense of superiority.
A subordinate official flipped through the roster and replied: "Scholars from Kaiyang and Pengcheng have arrived, only two counties from Donghai have come, and only those from Huaiyin County have not come from Xiapi."

Chen Yu frowned slightly when he heard the words, people from Kaiyang Pengcheng came, but Donghai only came to two counties now?Xiapi is even more outrageous. There is still a Huaiyin county that is the closest?

Huaiyin thought of this, Chen Yu thought for a moment, looked around and said, "Is there a Bu Zhi over there?"

The subordinate officer glanced at the album, looked for Huihui and said, "Mr. Chen, there is indeed such a person in Huaiyin."

"Then send two people out to wait." Chen Yu thought for a while and said.

He has heard of this name before, and this son is considered outstanding among the younger generation in Xuzhou, and has a good reputation. This time, he has a high possibility of becoming a shepherd in the state, so he must not neglect it, so as not to offend future colleagues.

"When the scholars from Huaiyin arrive, come and inform the old man immediately."

"Here."

The subordinate officer responded, and as soon as he walked to the door, he turned around and asked: "It's getting late, and a scholar came to urge me just now. May I ask Mr. Chen, when is the meal?"

Chen Yu thought for a while, and said: "We'll talk about it when everyone is ready, you go and tell the chef to serve some refreshments first."

"Here."
