Chapter 95 Recommending Filial Piety

Wuxian has been the most prosperous city in the Wuyue area since ancient times, and its scale of urban construction is not small.

After Gu Yong became the county magistrate, he was even more harmonious and arranged a large number of soldiers. The craftsmen's wives and daughters entered the city, which further increased the population.

So, not only Sun Ce is concerned about how many families are there in Wu County, but also Zhu Zhi and He Kui, who are also present, are also very curious.

Gu Yong immediately introduced to everyone in detail: "General Sun quelled the war, made no wolves in the wild, and the rivers were clear and the seas were peaceful. Wu County was full of waste. Not only were the people resettled in the city, but several powerful families moved to the city. Now there are eighteen squares and one city in the city, with a total of 3,600 households and about 20,000 people."

A yard is basically a liter. Usually, the inside is in charge of the keys of the yard and the inside is open so that the people can enter and exit the inside and outside the yard during the day, so the demographic statistics of Wu County are still very easy.

Nearly 4,000 households, it is indeed much more magnificent than the small Tucheng City with four or five hundred households like Shicheng County.

Sun Ce asked with interest: "Which family moved to the city?"

"The children of our clan all served in counties and counties, so their wives and daughters were brought to the city. In addition, there are Lu, Zhang and other clans."

"Zhang?" Sun Ce was quite surprised. He remembered that Zhang Yun, the chief of the Zhang clan, was a hero who was a noble man with a low wealth and heavy talent. He had thousands of people in the clan: "How could he leave the fort and move into the city?"

Gu Yong smiled and shook his head, saying, "I don't know this, maybe it's because of the convenience of the city. The city is prosperous and all kinds of supplies are easily available. This is very attractive to the powerful people who have been hiding in the fort and relying entirely on self-sufficiency. The abundant supplies are actually the most lacking in the fort."

Sun Ce nodded slightly, which makes sense. Don’t underestimate the impact of war on the living standards of the powerful.

Since Dong Zhuo, money and goods were out of reach, and the commodity economy was withered, and no caravan would visit various forts. Relying on self-sufficiency, if a fort does not meet the production conditions, even porcelain and oranges would be rare.

If Zhang determines that Wu County will be stable and prosperous in the future, then moving to the city early is also a reasonable choice.

At this time, Zhu Zhi smiled and said, "Maybe I know the reason for this matter. Zhang Yun, the chief of the Zhang clan, may have intentions about Xiaolian."

Everyone in the hall was paying attention to it. It seemed that people were passively waiting for the prefect to recommend it.

But in fact, how could the inspection system that has been running for hundreds of years be so simple and direct?

The powerful and powerful families have long been integrated into this set of rules. Every year, filial piety and honest people are filled with the exchange of interests among the great families.

The prefect also used this method to win over local tyrants and consolidate his position.

Sun Ce immediately became interested and asked, "Is Zhang showing kindness to us? Is Mr. Zhu interested in referring to Zhang Yun as a filial and honest person?"

Zhu Zhi pondered and said: "Zhang Yun was righteous and wealthy, and was famous in Yangzhou County. It is enough to convince people by filial piety and honesty. Therefore, the key is whether filial piety and honesty is conducive to the general's rule over Wu County."

"The Zhang family is a large family in Wu County, with a thousand troops. If they can get their support, Wu County will be more stable." Sun Ce said that the power to recommend Xiaolian was completely handed over to the county government, so he did not intervene too much. He just talked about the current rule with Zhu Zhi and said, "Now we still place Wu County first."

Having a stable and prosperous county is enough for Sun Ce to wipe out any rebellion with more than 10,000 troops, so the most important way is to consolidate the foundation.

Zhu Zhi immediately expressed his opinion and said, "The last quota of filial and honest people did not consider the other twelve counties and left them to Wu County. There are many wealthy families in Wu County, and among the great families that have not yet sent anyone to join the general, the Zhang family is indeed the most suitable."

Sun Ce raised his eyebrows and found that there was such a relationship.

In addition to the Lu family and the Sun family, some of the Gu family and Zhu family joined Sun Ce and became members of the ruler of Wu County.

The Zhang family has no clan members to hold important military and political positions, but has mastered a lot of wealth. They inevitably feel uneasy and worry that they will be excluded from the ruling class.

At this time, he would continue to command thousands of turtles in the fort. I am afraid that both sides would not trust each other, and it would inevitably lead to disaster.

He moved to Wuxian, probably because he wanted to eliminate Sun Ce's grudges and suspicion about him.

Sun Ce smiled and said, "I am not Yuan Shu, and I will not do anything like plundering and governing me."

Sun Ce smiled directly and asked with interest: "Editing filial piety and integrity is the power of the county government, so Mr. Zhu can make a decision by himself. Just now, Mr. Zhu said this is the last quota? I remember that Wu County has a population of 400,000, and he can sing two filial piety and integrity every year. Who is the other county government recommended?"

Zhang Zhao has introduced many talents. Sun Ce is very curious who can have such talent, surpassing the interests of countless powerful and aristocratic families, and be directly selected by the county government and be called filial and honest?

Speaking of this, Zhu Zhi laughed with relief and said, "The county government is still to recommend talented people who are genuine and practical. He was previously cited as a filial and honest man, with his surname, his name is Yi, his courtesy name is Jicai, and he is from Dongguan, Langya."

"A native of Xuzhou? Not from Wujun?" Sun Ce instinctively spoke up. According to the principle, the county government recommended talents should be the ones in this county.

Zhu Zhi smiled and said, "I don't agree with this general's words. What do you mean by Xuzhou? Xu Yi took refuge in Jiangdong and when the household registration was counted, he would be a household registration in Qu. Could it be that the people who are a household registration are not the people under the rule of Wu County?"

This statement was resounding, and all the officials present were excited.

Sun Ce laughed and slicked his hands, and said with a generous tone: "What Mr. Zhu said is so true! When I first heard about it, I became paranoid. Yes, among my household registration, I am the people under my rule. Anyone who moves to Wu County should treat everyone equally and even welcome them eagerly. Otherwise, where would the joy of moving in the world come from?"

The Central Plains has been happy to move in the house since ancient times. If there is no dispute over interests, the generous and enthusiastic Zhu Xia will naturally welcome people from afar.

However, there have always been factional disputes in Jiangdong, and the Jiangdong gentry and the Jianghuai factions have been fighting endlessly, so it is naturally because outsiders seized their interests.

Now is a good example. If there were no large number of northern scholars going south, the two filial and honest places would have belonged to the powerful and powerful people in Jiangdong.

It is actually very simple to avoid such conflicts, just expand to the north. In this way, the disputes of interest will become exchanges of interests. The gentry in Jiangdong can also hold important positions in the north and will not focus on the local interests.

Therefore, Sun Ce said: "If you can gain the power of the scholars in the north, I will recommend their earnest feelings to pacify the Jianghuai River and make those who miss homesickness return to their hometown."

This sentence is naturally said to northern scholars like He Kui and Xu Yi, to show that they are never biased and contented in a corner.

Sure enough, when he heard what Sun Ce said, He Kui had a little more hope and longing in his eyes. If he was poor, he would be safe and he would be able to help the world. Now he has established himself in Jiangdong, so he naturally hopes to lead his army back to his hometown and make his hometown peaceful again.

He naturally had a good impression of his colleagues who were also from the north and asked, "How is Xu Jicai?"

Zhu Zhi straightened his chest and stroked his chin. He was obviously quite content to recommend this talent for himself. He smiled and said, "He is noble and harsh. He was a wise man for a time and was named after his loyalty and trustworthiness. He is comparable to Yan Yi, a famous minister in the Han Dynasty."

Can it be compared to the ancient appearance?

Everyone immediately had a clear understanding of Xu Yi.

Yan Yi is the protagonist of the secret slander. Because he has no virtue and integrity, Zhang Tang wants to cure his sins, but he really can't find a reason. So he said that although he didn't say it, he might not have slandered him (and slandered him without saying anything). He was imprisoned for his crimes and then executed him.

Compared with Yan Yi, Xu Yi is at least a noble and selfless wise man.

Sun Ce was particularly attentive.

Because of this Xu Yi... it seems that he has looked down on the little bully in history!

This kind of thing is quite normal. The three monarchs of the Three Kingdoms all have one or two talents with disagreement and are unwilling to serve them.

The most famous one is of course Liu Bei. Liu Ba was reluctant to serve him even though he was alive. He hid from him and ran away from most of China, but in the end he was unable to escape and was forced to fall into Liu Bei's hands in Yizhou.

There were more boss Cao. He personally persuaded him to surrender, but Chen Gong refused to bow his head. In addition, Guan Yu, Zhang Hong and others were all courtesy to him.

Of course, Sun Ce, who has a lower background, cannot avoid this kind of treatment, and Xu Yi should be the most famous and regrettable one among them. It is comparable to Liu Bei's missed Taishi Ci.

In history, the little overlord sent people to order him with courtesy, but he didn't know whether Xu Yi looked down on Sun Ce but was just a small lieutenant under Yuan Shu or he hated Sun Ce for a heavy murder, so he directly refused, changed his name and fled back to his county in vain.

Xu Yi, Cui Yan and Mao Jie were both as famous as they were, and they were both famous for their integrity and integrity.

It is well known what status these two people are.

Cui Yan was both civil and military, and once sat on a chair on behalf of Cao Cao to accept worship from the Huns. Cao Cao personally caught a knife and stood behind him. He was respected by all the civil and military officials of the court, and his reputation was even feared by Cao Cao, and he was eventually killed unjustly.

Mao Jie was the key figure in Cao Cao's ability to determine the Northern Central Plains. Cao Cao's two most critical strategies, "supporting the emperor to order the emperor to despise the ministers" and "cultivating farming and raising military funds" military camp strategies were all formulated by Mao Jie alone for him.

If you can pass it on to these two people, you can roughly understand Xu Yi's identity and ability.

After Cao Cao defeated Ma Chao, he appointed Xu Yi as the chief minister of the Prime Minister's Office and pacified Xijing.

Zhang Zhao can tell what the status of the Chief Secretary is. As the Chief Secretary of the Prime Minister's Office, he was in charge of the Xijing, which was the entire Guanzhong area at that time, all civil and military officials, including Xiahou Yuan, had to be controlled by Xu Yi.

In Eastern Wu, this is at least a person of Lu Su and Lu Meng.

Of course, as the Minister of the Interior, his reputation is not as prominent as that of a strategist, so his reputation is not as good as that of Guo Jia. But you should know that Guo Jia's identity was just a priest in the Sikong Mansion from beginning to end. He was a government official who had no specific practice and only provided advice. The gap between him and Xu Yi, who was in charge of military and political power in the entire mansion was even greater than their biographies.

Of course, the whole thing about ability depends on whether the record is comprehensive.

When I read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", I feel that there are five generals and the assistants of the lie-off dragons and phoenixes. It is a pity that Shu Han failed to unify the world.

But when you read "The Three Kingdoms", you will feel that Cao Wei is full of talents, his five sons are so brave, there are so many peerless famous generals who are invincible, and so many outstanding strategists who are completely invincible, but they are simply regretful that China has failed to unify.

And reading "Book of Wu"... Sun Ce just wanted to kill Sun Quan.

All the talents in Jiangdong are all romantic and amazing people, including Zhou Yu, Lu Meng, Lu Xun, Bu Zhi, Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong and so many other famous generals and ministers throughout the ages, and you have been assisted by famous officials throughout the ages. You have led an army of more than 100,000 and have failed to return six times under Hefei City. It is no exaggeration to kill them.

So in the final analysis, the Central Plains has been in short supply since ancient times. Liu Bang and several people who killed chickens and dogs in Pei County were able to sweep across the world. Zhu Yuanzhang and twenty-four fellow villagers in Haozhou who spoke local dialect were forced to wander in a foreign land and start a business, but defeated the arrogant Mongol Empire.

The ultimate key to the achievement depends on the power lord.

Sun Ce felt that the talents under his command of Jiangdong were no worse than those of Xiao He, Xu Da and others.

Zhang Zhao was majestic and upright, and was well-managed and was completely comparable to Guan Zhong.

Gongjin is a genius, and is a heroic figure. He is known as Zhuge Liang for a while. Even if he cannot reach Han Xin and Zhuge Liang's height of the ten philosophers of the Wu Temple, the seventy-two will definitely sit firmly, and no one will question it.

In addition, which one of Lu Meng, Cheng Pu, Xu Kun and Zhu Huan is not worthy of praise?

Especially Zhu Huan, it is not an exaggeration to brag.

After all, others said, why do you think Cao Renlun is comparing with me?

Then everyone is going to argue. This number one general of Cao Wei, known as Cao Tianren, has defeated countless people such as Liu Bei. Why is he not as good as Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and even Lu Su and Lu Meng?

But even if Zhu Huan said this, no one could question it.

After all, he really brought five thousand people to defeat Cao Ren after talking wildly, and directly defeated Cao Ren on the way to the team. He didn't even have the chance to make a comeback and compete again.

As Sun Ce saw, all the civil and military officials under him were outstanding, and they all obtained the same method in governing the military and governing the government. Especially those talents who have gained fame in history have all had great talents, and none of them are mediocre.

The only mediocre person is his worker, Cao Zheng Yuan. This guy is really mediocre except for carving saddles. He has not achieved much success in the production of ordnances so far, so Sun Ce had to set up a military weapon supervisor to improve it.

Of course, there is no doubt about the talent of the famous officials of Cao Wei in history, such as He Kui and Xu Yi.

At least Sun Ce was not appreciating He Kui's local regulations, and he was simply shocked and ecstatic. The Wujun business under his control is now the top priority.

Sun Ce said: "Xu Jicai is such a famous man from a different county but he is willing to settle down in Wu County and accept the enlistment of the county government. It is because we were in Wu County and we were practicing law and practicing culture and virtue. Therefore, we cannot slack off. We must continue to carry on moral education, practice things and change the wind, and be good at the politics of Wu County."

"Today we will gather a few people to talk about the matters of governing the place and facilitating the people."

"What do you think about the roads in the county and the towns in Wuxian? You can speak freely."

Thanks to book friends for their bows and their 1500 starting coins for their rewards.
