Sometimes the focus of whether a family can prosper is not on how capable one is, but on whether the descendants are successful.
The son belongs to his own family. Whether he can become a talent or not actually has a certain fate.
But the son-in-law belongs to others, so there is more choice.
The most typical example is right in front of you.
Yuan Shu also felt that life had hope, not because of his son Yuan Yao, but because of his son-in-law Huang Yi.
Who would have thought that the seemingly loss-making marriage eventually became the biggest reliance of Yuan’s family.
Of course, Yuan Shu can escape the disaster, and there is a stronger Yuan son-in-law Yang Biao.
Yuan Shu was deeply benefited from it and told him this secret to Zhang Xun.
Zhang Xun knew very well what his son was. Although he was not a big traitor, he was not a young hero. With their abilities, it was difficult to defend his family business, and it was basically impossible to go further.
At this time, it is very important whether you can find a good son-in-law.
Zhang Xun and Yuan Shu chatted for a long time, left excitedly, and went to discuss with Yang Hong.
Yang Hong is a child of the Yang family of Hongnong, and the news is far more informative than him. Perhaps he can know what young talents there are around the emperor.
But Yang Hong was concerned about another thing.
"Want to retire on the road?"
"ah."
"But... he is not yet fifty." Yang Hong stroked his beard, feeling a little sad.
Yuan Shu didn't want to retire, but wanted to avoid disaster and clear obstacles for them.
Yuan Shu did not resign. They were restricted by the status of the monarch and his subjects and could not move freely. They could only wait for Yuan Shu to recommend it like Yan Xiang was the prefect of Lujiang.
If Yuan Shu is very capable, or if the Yuan family in Runan has not been severely damaged and has a strong backer behind it, this is of course a good thing that cannot be obtained.
However, the Yuan family in Runan has been defeated and Yuan Shu has limited ability, so such an opportunity is very rare.
This time, the recommended person went to Luoyang to participate in the big reading, so he could only let Xian Yufu go.
When Yuan Shu retired, they became free and perhaps they could find some opportunities to make contributions in this war.
Zhang Xun also reacted and sighed for a while.
"If you make contributions, you must not forget him in the future."
"This is nature, this is nature." Zhang Xun said repeatedly: "As a king and a minister for a day, he will never stop his righteousness for life."
Yang Hong nodded and thought for a while. "Is your little daughter a good reader?"
Zhang Xun showed a smug smile on his face. "I know a little about poetry and books."
"If you want her to have the opportunity to see the talented people around the emperor often, the best way is to enter the officialdom. I think there are at least two choices: first choose the female camp, followed by Lantai. If neither of these works, you might as well let it go
She first went to the bookstore to work for a while, and then saw if she could get the recommendation of Concubine Xun."
Zhang Xun nodded repeatedly and bowed to thank him.
Liu Xie led his troops to the east, first passing Chenliu, and then to Dongjun.
While in Chenliu, he accompanied Ren Jun, inspected the nearby county town.
Ren Jun is from Zhongmu, Henan, and was very comfortable for him as an official in Chenliu. Cao Cao left him here for many reasons.
Ren Jun’s wife is Cao Cao’s sister-in-law, and she can take care of her family nearby.
In addition, there is another more important reason.
Ren Jun was not only proficient in military affairs, but also good at farming. Being the prefect in Chenliu can give full play to his advantages than joining the army on the frontier.
After Liu Xie inspected the event, he was very grateful to Ren Jun's political achievements.
Although Chenliu has not yet implemented the land on a large scale, he has fought many times before, with a large population loss and a lot of free land, so it is very convenient to concentrate on land. As early as when Cao Cao controlled Yanzhou, Xiahou Dun had cultivated land here and obtained
Good results.
Ren Jun took a step further on the basis of Xiahou Dun, controlling most of the mulberry fields and dye production areas, and had sufficient reasons: he wanted to rebuild the three-servant officials and provide clothing for the court.
Chenliu Xiangyi has the best textile industry, known as Jinxiu Xiangyi, and has three wardrobes, providing clothing and clothing for the palace.
But this is just a cover.
Liu Xie deliberately controlled the scale of the harem and even canceled the eunuch's staff, so he needed to build a special three-servant official to provide clothes.
Only a small part of Xiangyi's products entered the palace, and most of them were sold by Ren Jun.
Xiangyi's silk products are of good quality and new colors, and are very popular among Hu merchants. Some people even come to Xiangyang to wait in order to get the goods as soon as possible.
This also led to Chenliu's recovery.
With money in hand, it is naturally easy to do things. Ren Jun used this money to dredge water conservancy, increase efforts to reclaim wasteland, and build a school to recruit poor children.
After hearing the news, most of the refugees returning from all over the country were arranged by Ren Jun to work in the workshop, with the condition that children of appropriate age could be admitted to school for free and receive three years of education.
Three years later, you can recommend studying in the Imperial Academy, or you can work as an official in a county or a local workshop to become a technical worker with certain literacy and writing skills.
Chenliu's county schools not only teach reading and literacy, but also teach all the techniques related to textile printing and dyeing. After leaving the school, they are a qualified worker.
Refugees are very satisfied with this. The income from work is more than farming, and the opportunity for children to study is more rare.
Ren Jun was also satisfied.
With sufficient workers, the labor costs of the workshop are reduced, but the output is booming.
After listening to Ren Jun's introduction, Liu Xie was very satisfied.
Even if Ren Jun's political achievements have a certain degree of water, his ideas are desirable. He is definitely not comparable to those of famous scholars and prefects who are whistling.
Such people are the people needed by the court, with both beliefs and the ability to realize them.
Liu Xie asked Ren Jun to write his political methods into an article, publish it in the diary, and submit it to the Situ Mansion for discussion, in order to promote it in more counties and counties.
One of the major drawbacks of the current system is that people die and the government will stop. No matter how well Chenliu governs, it is Ren Jun's own business. Once Ren Jun leaves Chenliu, the next prefect will likely overturn all these rules.
Liu Xie hopes that such a policy will be formed into a system that cannot be changed easily.
He had received a report from Situ's Mansion that Chenliu County ranks relatively high in it, but he did not mention any specific policy measures.
This is not because Situ's Mansion intends to ignore it, but because the previous plan was done, only asking about the increase or decrease of household registration, the area of land reclamation, the amount of taxes, whether there are thieves and other specific achievements, and not asking about the policy measures.
All of these are attributed to the prefect and the county magistrate’s personal morality and ability will affect their personal future, but there is no possibility of forming a system.
Liu Xie wanted to slowly change this and use systems to manage it instead of relying entirely on the personal abilities of officials.
Just like he built martial arts lecture halls and agricultural schools, he did not rely on the inspiration of individual geniuses to make progress, but focused on knowledge accumulation to provide soil for more geniuses to appear.
When it comes to governance, Ren Jun talks happily. When it comes to writing articles, Ren Jun is a little embarrassed.
He had never written such an article. Or he had never thought that these trivial matters could be written into articles and published in newspapers for more reference.
Liu Xie told him very seriously, "Don't underestimate yourself." If all counties in the world can find the industry that is most suitable for your development, why worry about the kingly way of going forward like Chenliu?
The kingly way is not spoken, it is made.
In order to show importance, Liu Xie arranged for Cao Ang and Zhuge Liang to assist Ren Jun in sorting the records.
He also said to Cao Ang, "Understand these are valuable experiences you will find in the future when you work in the local area and you will not be able to learn from books."
