The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Xun Zhen never imagined that Yuan Pan, a follower of Taiping Dao, and a member of Taiping Dao who would take up arms and rebel in a few years, would sigh for this, because he disliked civilian weapons. Too much and sigh!

Yuan hoped that his words were sincere, his attitude was sincere, and he did not seem to be falsifying.

Xun Zhen agreed and said, "Yes! Folks are martial, and their customs are aggressive. It is not a good thing to be light-hearted and good at the end. But if the folk customs are like this, what can be done?"

Yuanpan said: "Xunjun's famous disciple, who has read history books, should know the story of Gong Bohai in the former Han Dynasty. Jun is now the head of Fanyang Pavilion. Although he only has jurisdiction over ten miles, he is also regarded as a political party. Why not imitate the former sages and persuade What about the people?"

"Gong Bohai? Did the original teacher say Gong Shaoqing?"

"Exactly."

"Kong Gong was very virtuous and persuaded people to sell swords to buy cattle, and knives to buy calves. I have no virtue, and I'm afraid I won't be able to learn the deeds of former sages."

"I heard that Xun Jun has the will of Chen Liuqiu and Jizhi, and he is not willing to be an official, but willing to do things for the people. Since he has such an ambition, are you afraid that there will be something that cannot be done?"

In order to obtain Xun Qu's consent to be the pavilion chief, Xun Zhen once cited the example of Chen Liuqiulan. When Qin Qian and Liu Ru came to the pavilion before, they had already praised him face to face, and now they have been encouraged by Yuanpan's criticism. He didn't know whether to be happy or to smile bitterly. Heaven and Earth's conscience, when he said those words to Xun Qu, he never thought that he would pass it on to gain a reputation.

He knelt straight on the seat, put his hands on his knees, and said solemnly, "What the original teacher said is very true, I know I was wrong."

No matter where Yuan Pan was from, whether he was a Taoist from Taiping or not, or whether he would rebel in a few years, at least his words were "the words of the elders". Yuanpan smiled and said: "I'm just a scumbag in the countryside. I've read a few books, and you can't compare with Xun-Jun. If you say a few casual words, if Xun-Jun thinks it's right, it's a blessing; if you're wrong, I also ask Xun-Jun to correct me."

"Since I came to the pavilion, my thoughts day and night are how to benefit one side. But firstly, I am young and inexperienced, and secondly, I am not familiar with the place. So far, I have not been able to have a mature idea. The original teacher, please you teach me."

Xunzhen sincerely asked for advice, Yuanpan did not hide it, and said, "There are six li in Fanyang Pavilion with more than a thousand inhabitants. It is not difficult to say that it is difficult, and it is not easy to say that it is easy."

"Please ask the original teacher to teach me what to do?"

"The ancients said: 'If you don't follow the rules, you can't make a square and a circle'; and they said: 'If the name is right, the word is right.' In my opinion, it is enough to be able to do these two things well."

"Appreciate further details."

"There are many wild people in the village who don't understand the law. Xunjun can send people to each li and teach them separately. The law is like rules. With rules, the people know what can be done and what can't be done. Everything in the department is in order.”

"and then?"

"On this basis, Xun Jun can lead by himself again and teach the people what is the root and what is the end. When the people distinguish between the root and the end, and know what is important and what is not important, the pavilion will naturally It was so peaceful."

There is nothing particularly surprising about Yuanpan's two suggestions. They are just old-fashioned words, but they can be described as "dignified and righteous". If Xun Zhen followed this practice, he might not see results in the short term, but after a year and a half, there would be results. But he was not satisfied, and asked again: "The principle of farming is the foundation and the rest is the last is easy to make clear to the people, but after making it clear? How should I act? How should I lead by myself?"

"Does Xunjun really not know how to lead by himself?"

"really do not know."

"But you've already started doing it!"

"..., what did I do?"

"Isn't Xun Jun detaining Wu Gui by himself?"

"What does the original teacher mean?"

"The young chivalrous rogues in the countryside, who form gangs in groups, play games all day long, disagree on a word, draw swords at every turn, and shed blood for five steps, which is the biggest scourge in the countryside. When Qiu Jizhi was the chief of Puting, first of all, he was serious. Do you want to rectify the light chivalrous men? All of them will be consecrated to Tian Sang, and the punishment system will be strictly stipulated. Those who violate it will be severely punished."

"Oh, the original teacher wants me?"

"Yes, since Jun Xun admires Qiu Jizhi, then it is enough to govern Fanyang Pavilion according to his method of governing the pavilion!"

What Yuanpan said was a wise saying. If it was a peaceful and prosperous age, there would be no problem in governing the pavilion in this way, but unfortunately, Xun Zhen knew that the troubled times would come, and in order to gather the crowd to save their lives in the troubled times, it was too late for him to win Qingxia, so how could he punish them severely?

He sighed secretly and thought: "It was the Taiping Dao believers who started the troubled world, but now the people who persuade me to punish Qingxia are also Taiping Dao believers. I have to say, this is really an irony." He thought of Qin Gan again, "Qin Qian Treat him as the enemy, but in the rectification of Qingxia, the two of them coincidentally and have the same meaning. Hehe, hehe." Thinking so in his heart, his face did not show a half, and praised, "Xian Zaiyuan division!"

"With some crude knowledge, how can you dare to be a 'virtuous'?"

"In addition to punishing Qingxia, what else does the original teacher think I should do?"

"Andingli is rich not only because they have a lot of fields, but also because they have planted a large number of mulberry trees. With mulberry trees, silkworms can be raised, and silkworms can be woven. If a woman does not weave, she may suffer from the cold. According to the calculation of a family of five and two women, there are enough pieces of cloth to be woven in a year. One piece of cloth is four feet long and two feet and two inches wide. An adult's clothes. In this way, not only is it enough for one's own use, but the extra money can be sold to supplement the family."

"Does the original teacher want to suggest that I mobilize the people and plant more mulberry trees?"

"The imperial court has a decree, and the number of mulberry trees planted is also a criterion for evaluation. If you persuade the people to plant mulberry trees, it will make the people rich and satisfy the evaluation. The best of both worlds, why not do it?"

There is a sentence in Yuanpan's words just now: "If one husband does not cultivate, he may suffer from hunger; if one woman does not weave, he may suffer from cold." if. It is not easy to read in the current world as compared to the later generations, and Xun Zhen was surprised that he could casually cite sentences from historical books and classics. At this time, I heard him say that "the imperial court has laws and regulations", and he was not only familiar with the classics, but also familiar with the laws and regulations of the imperial court. Xun Zhen could no longer treat him as an ordinary Taiping Dao leader.

He wanted to test Yuan Pan's talents further, and said in a deliberately embarrassing way: "It is certainly good to persuade the people to plant mulberry. However, buying mulberry seedlings and planting them in the soil requires organization and money. Organization is nothing but money. What about gathering?"

Yuanpan smiled and said, "Don't you see the patriarch Yin monument outside the bomb room door?"

Every household contributes money, and according to the amount of money, the number of mulberry seedlings is different. Xun Zhen pretended to be surprised, patted his forehead, and said with a smile: "If it wasn't for the teacher's reminder, I really didn't think of this method." Asking Yuanpan, "Since the teacher has such a good plan, why didn't he implement it in your house? ?"

"Today, Duke Zhou, Saburo, Shiro, and Aqing gathered in the bomb room to discuss this matter."

Zuo Ju didn't speak for a long time, and he couldn't hold back for a long time. At this time, he finally found an opportunity and hurriedly interjected: "I haven't been able to go to the pavilion for two days to apologize to Xunjun, and it is precisely because of this busy matter."

"Oh? That's it! It's a good thing! ..., I don't know how the negotiation went? Is there anything that needs my help?"

"It's almost been negotiated, and the amount of money each household will pay has roughly been determined. Just wait for the money to be collected, and then go to the county and city to buy mulberry seedlings. After the snow this year, it can be planted before the beginning of spring. It's gone!"

"If you need my help, please speak up."

"If there is any difficulty, you must trouble Xun Jun."

Having said that, basically everything that needs to be said has been said. Seeing that it was getting dark outside the house, Xun Zhen got up and said goodbye. Yuan Pan, Zuo Ju, Zhou Lan and others sent him out. Zuo Jugeng kept sending them out of the inner door before turning back.

…

Back at the pavilion, Du Mai, Chen Bao and the others had not yet returned. Huang Zhong greeted them and led the horse into the stable. Seeing Xun Zhen in a trance, he asked with concern, "Mr. Xun, what's the matter? Are things not going well?"

Xun Zhen came back to her senses: "Not really. ... Mr. Huang, you have been in the pavilion for a long time. You should know Yuan Pan better, right? What kind of person do you think he is?"

Yuanpan is a local celebrity. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Huang Zhong really knows him very well. He replied, "He's a good person. . . . Why do you ask this?"

"I have only met the original teacher twice. The first time we met, because of Qin Jun and Liu Jun, there was a lot of trouble, but he didn't hold any grudge for it, but met me sincerely. , he gave me a few suggestions for managing the pavilion, all of which are good strategies!" He relayed Yuan Pan's words to Huang Zhong.

Huang Zhong said: "It is indeed a good plan! So, does Xun Jun plan to act according to this?"

Xun Zhen avoided the important and avoided the "rectification of light chivalrous men", and only talked about the promotion of mulberry trees, and replied: "When the people from each li are gathered together and the training of pirates is on track, I will start to mobilize the whole pavilion to plant mulberry trees."

Huang Zhong said: "Xun Jun, although you have only been here for a few days, I think you are much stronger than Zheng Jun."

"How do you say that?"

"Zheng Jun has been a pavilion chief here for several years, and he has never talked about promoting mulberry cultivation." Huang Zhong, who was born in a farmer, is very old, and of course he knows the benefits of planting mulberry trees for farmers.

"You can't say that. Last year's big epidemic was entirely due to Zheng Jun, and Ben Ting didn't suffer too much damage. I can't compare to this alone for saving lives."

The red sun was setting in the west, and Xun Zhen stood at the gate of the house, watching the official passage. Unknowingly, he spent most of the day in the Respect for the Elderly. He was already hungry with only the breakfast in the morning. He asked Huang Zhong with a smile, "Mr. Huang, when do you plan to have dinner?"

"Are you hungry?"

"I came out in the morning and returned near Mu Fang. I was already hungry. Du Jun, A Bao, A Yan and the others must be hungry. Huang Gong, let's cook early."

Huang Zhong has no excuses.

Looking into the distance, there were people coming and going on the official road, Xun Zhen said to herself, "I don't know when Du Jun and the others will come back?" What he wanted to know more was how many people Du Mai and the others had summoned.
