For more than half a month, Xun Zhen visited the famous people in all the counties in the county. While showing goodwill to the local scholars, she also took the opportunity to visit the counties in the county. Customs and so on have a general understanding.

Seeing that Xunzhen went to the county, he did nothing, first "Xiao Gui Cao followed", then he visited the scholars and "inquired about the people's feelings". Full of compliments.

When Xun Zhen did this, they would benefit the most.

First of all, the power of Zang Hong, Yuan Sui, Qin Song and other officials in the prefecture remained unchanged.

Secondly, most of them came from the nobility, and of course they were happy to see Xunzhen actively building a good relationship with the local nobility.

Although it is said that Xun Zhen was also born in a gentry, but generally speaking, a "local chief" who was born in a gentry may not necessarily have a good relationship with "a gentry serving in the locality", because this involves a game of power, such as " If the gentry working in the locality is too "indulgent", it will obviously infringe the power that the "local chief" should have. Therefore, it is said that although the gentry is born in the gentry, but the "local gentry" has a suppressive attitude towards "the gentry working in the place". There are also quite a few "chief officials". In fact, Tao Qian is even one, and Xun Zhen also did similar things in Zhao and Wei Shi, and suppressed many local gentry and aristocrats.

Objectively speaking, local nobility and aristocrats are a problem that any "local chief" cannot avoid. It is impossible to suppress them with all their strength, and it is also impossible to blindly allow them. The correct method should be both soft and hard. Now, in order to get the full support from the local government as soon as possible, and to prepare for the upcoming "Dong Dong" battle, Xun Zhen had to "hold the sword in the scabbard and temporarily hold back the eyebrows". ” For the time being, he has put away his behavior in Zhao and Wei, and can only act like this.

But having said that, Xun Zhen's "temporary bridging of eyebrows" for more than half a month was not his usual style of governing, but at least he had achieved good results.

On this day, Xun Zhen returned from a visit from outside the county.

Among the counties in Guangling, this county was the last one that Xun Zhen went to.

Just like when he went to other counties, Xun Zhen visited the famous scholars and Confucian scholars in this county, and removed two or three children of the nobles and aristocrats in the county, filled them into the prefecture, and brought them back to the mansion together.

Zang Hong, Yuan Sui and others greeted him outside the county.

Since this was the last county that Xun Zhen visited, Zang and Yuan felt that the matter of "Xun Zhen getting off the bus to visit the scholars" should be over, so after welcoming Xun Zhen back to the county government, they ordered the county government officials. All Cao Cao officials came together, and each presented a recent Cao case slip for Xun Zhen to read.

Xun Zhen didn't look at it.

Zang Hong and Yuan Sui are very strange.

Zang Hong asked, "Hong Dao dared to die to ask him: When Duke Ming got off the bus, he visited the middle-ranking scholars in the county. This is because Duke Ming's respect for civility and virtue, but now that he has finished visiting scholars, why is he still ignoring the county's affairs?"

"Although the interviewer is over, I still have one thing to do!"

What is so important?

Yuan Sui asked, "Dare to ask Duke Ming, what's the matter?"

"I haven't been to the county school in this county. All the students in the school are the seeds of my future study in Guangling. How can I not go to see it before I look at it?"

Zang Hong and Yuan Sui glanced at each other and bowed down together with all the officials of the Cao Cao, and said in their mouths, "Guangling has Ming Palace, and Guangling's great fortune!"

What does Xun Zhen want to do most now?

Recruiting troops to buy horses.

If the "visiting scholar" can be regarded as helping him establish a foothold in the county and lay a solid foundation for future development, then why is the "visiting county school" so important? Do you have to do it immediately after the "visitor", can't you wait?

This is because Xuzhou has a Zherong.

Xun Zhen had already learned from Liu Bei that Zhe Rong was one of the few Buddhist believers today, and he was a particularly fanatical one. If Zhe Rong was just a commoner, he would have followed his belief in Buddhism. He is also Tao Qian's close confidant and Tao Qian's right-hand man. In this way, his status as a "Buddha believer" is a bit subtle.

There are many differences between the current Buddhism and the "sinicized" Buddhism of later generations, but in the final analysis, this is another belief besides Confucianism after all. However, now there are many Buddhist believers in Xuzhou, especially in Xiapi, where Zherong is located, and there are even more Buddhist believers. In order to fight against Taiping and compete for folk beliefs, Tao Qian tacitly accepts this. , Even secretly supporting the attitude, but through this visit to the famous scholars in the county, Xun Zhen found that there are quite a few scholars and Confucian scholars who hold a disgusting attitude towards this. It is not difficult to understand. First of all, the Buddhist worldview and Confucianism The world view is different. Secondly, Zhe Rong is a fanatical Buddhist believer. He withheld and detained a large amount of food and money from the three southern prefectures of the prefecture, including Guangling, and used it to worship the Buddha. As a result, in such a situation where the court situation is unstable and there are giant thieves watching from outside the state, it is inevitable that many people of insight will be deeply dissatisfied and extremely disgusted by this.

There are many scholars who are disgusted with this kind of behavior of Cheng Rong, and Tao Qian is silent to this kind of behavior, and even secretly supports it. Guangling scholars, even in the eyes of Xuzhou scholars, have extra points.

Then, how can he make use of this?

Of course, the best way is to show his firm stance on "respecting Confucianism or Buddhahood".

So how should he show his position?

The best way is of course to "visit the county school".

All the Confucian classics are taught in the county school. As Xun Zhen said, the students in the county school are the seeds of future reading in Guangling. In other words, they are all future Confucian disciples in Guangling. The first thing he did after that was to visit the scholars, and the second thing was to visit the county school. This was a clear statement of his position.

In fact, Zang Hong, Yuan Sui and other county officials praised Xun Zhen just now. Although they came from the heart, they were indeed happy that Xun Zhen attached great importance to the culture and education of Guangling, but they were only praised because of happiness. Can't see Xun Zhen's true intentions.

It doesn't matter if you can't see Xun Zhen's true intentions now. All Xun Zhen needs is to give them the impression that "Xun Zhen values ​​Confucianism". There really was an irreconcilable contradiction between them, and as long as this impression persisted, they would naturally favor Xun Zhen to a certain extent.

But she said that Xun Zhen came to visit the county school this time, no longer as a private person, but as the county governor.

Zang Hong, Yuan Sui, and Qin Song all the officials followed.

When I arrived at the county school, I saw that the county school took up a lot of space, but it seemed very deserted. There didn't seem to be many students in the school.

This is because of the Yellow Turban Rebellion last October.

During that incident, many teachers and students in the county school died in the chaos, and many of those who did not die went home. Now there are not many scripture teachers and students left in the school. .

There are only two or three sutra teachers left, and no more than a hundred students.

Xun Zhen walked along the road, watching the desolate school building beside the road, and sighed uncontrollably.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of books in front of him, Xun Zhen walked over with the others.

After a short walk, I saw that there were four or five teenagers sitting under the tree in front of them, reading and reading from the scroll.

As Xun Zhen's personal guard, Dian Wei and Zhao Yun were both by Xun Zhen's side, Xun Zhen stopped and called Zhao Yun forward, pointing to the living beings under the tree, and said with a smile, "Zilong, when I first met you in the past years. , I remember that you were sitting under the pear tree, reading and reading the scriptures. Although this tree is not a pear tree, and the living beings under the tree are not gentlemen, but looking at this, I don’t realize it. The scene, as in front of you."

Zhao Yun replied, "The monarch and the marquis had a long sword in black clothes, and they were valiant and valiant. Yun Yi has never been forgotten or forgotten, and it is still in front of me."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Xun Zhen and Zhao Yun looked at each other and smiled.

Xun Zhen then ordered the sutra teacher who was accompanying him to come forward, summoned several students under the tree, and asked their names.

All the students were not very old, the elders were seventeen or eighteen, and the young were only eleven or twelve. When they heard that the person in front of them was the new prefect, Xunzhen, the Marquis of Yingyin, most of them were immediately apprehensive, but only one person was calm and unhurried. Be polite.

And this person happens to be the youngest one among all the living beings.

Xun Zhen was quite fond of this son's demeanor, and remembered that when he answered his name just now, since Chen was from Guangling County, his surname was Wei Mingjing, because he asked: "There is an official in the prefecture who is also from Guangling County, with the same surname as the son, but I don't know that he is a relative. ?"

Wei Jing replied, "The Wei clan in Guangling all have the surname Ji. Although they are of the same origin, they have been divided into many sects earlier, but Jing and Wei Jun in the prefecture are not of the same clan."

The ancestor of the Wei family was Ji Feng, the ninth son of King Wen of Zhou. At the beginning, Ji Feng was enfeoffed in Kang State, so he was also called Uncle Kang, and later changed to Wei. He was the first monarch of Wei State. Country is.

Wei Jing was only eleven or twelve years old. Seeing such a child talking about the origin and branch of the surname "Wei" in a childish voice, Xun Zhen didn't feel dumb and found it very interesting, so she smiled at Gu Zanghong, Said: "Ziyuan, this child is not only of the same origin and different sect from the prefecture's Weijun, but also of the Qing!"

The Zang family also has a line that comes from the surname Ji.

Xun Zhen's words were abusive words, Zang Hong was heroic and chivalrous, he didn't care, he just smiled. Hearing that Xun Zhen used his words to make fun of him, Wei Jing was not happy, he was just abiding by his identity, not good. He got angry on the spot, turned his face away, and stopped looking at Xun Zhen in anger.

Zang Hong, Yuan Sui, Xi Zhicai, Xun You, Dian Wei, Zhao Yun and others who were walking beside Xun Zhen all laughed.

Hearing the laughter, Wei Jing became angrier. He clenched his fists and tilted his face.

It is rare for students in the county school to be 11 or 12 years old~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Wei Jing can enter the county school at this age, he must be young and smart.

Seeing that he was angry, Xun Zhen immediately regretted treating him as an ordinary child. She immediately put away her smile, apologized solemnly, and saluted, "I just made a slip of the tongue. It's my fault, I hope you don't get angry."

Wei Jing was smart, although he was not comparable to an ordinary child, he was still a child after all. Hearing that Xun Zhen apologized to him as a guardian, his anger subsided, he turned his face, and gave a serious salute, saying: "Jing Wen In the county of Mingfu, do not do anything, first visit the wise men and observe the actions of Ming Gong, thinking that he wants to promote literature and education. After the war, it is the right time to promote literature and education! Since you want to do this, you must open The corporal, although the jing is young, it is also a living thing, how can there be anyone who hears that he wants to promote culture and education, but abuses all living beings?"

Xun Zhen was amazed at his answer, looked around, and said, "This son will be a horse of a thousand miles in my county!" Immediately, a decision was made, and Wei Jing was appointed on the scene to enter the county mansion as a boy official.

Wei Jing was unwilling, but declined, saying, "You have not yet completed all the classics, you are young and shallow, how dare you take on this important task."

"Okay, okay! I'll wait for you to finish studying the sutras. Until then, if I'm still in Guangling, I will definitely come to invite my son again! If I leave Guangling, I will definitely raise my son's name and spread it in Yizhou. ."

I visited the county school and saw that there were not many teachers and students in the school. Xun Zhen immediately ordered the county government to invite more learned and virtuous Confucian students from the county to become scripture teachers. The school supplements some food expenses and the like, and improves the lodging, food, and housing treatment of teachers and students, in order to attract children from poor families to study again.

Once this decision was made, Zang Hong, Yuan Sui and other county officials had no objection even though Guangling was short of money and food.
