Chapter 62 This is the first punch against the overseas Chinese family
Dudu Huo and Cui Heng's Northern Expedition was like a joke.
After entering Jiankang, Dudu Huo and Cui Heng met the Holy Spirit and saw that Queen Wang controlled Emperor Yongkang and Dazai took the Taiyuan Wang family to have exclusive power. They couldn't help but shake their heads.
With such selfish people around, the Jin Dynasty may not be able to regain its lost territory in the north.
Since Taiyuan belonged to Bingzhou, Bingzhou was annexed by the rebellious princes.
At Cui Heng's invitation, Governor Huo prepared to move the Huo family to Qinghe County.
But at the moment they were about to set off from Jiankang, a letter was sent from Longxi County.
It is Xie Yuan's own handwriting.
The letter said that there was going to be chaos in the north, and there was no one living in the area south of the Yangtze River. He wanted to take the Li family and the Luo family from Longxi to move to the south of the Yangtze River, and asked the Huo family and the Cui family if they would like to move south with them.
Cui Heng thought that Qinghe and the ancient books left by Taigong Cui had not been taken away, so he could not move south for the time being, so he declined Xie Yuan's invitation.
Governor Huo didn't care, so he agreed.
So they moved south together.
In the twelfth lunar month, three aristocratic families gathered in Kuaiji County, Jiangnan.
As they expected, the south of the Yangtze River was deserted and sparsely populated.
Xie Yuan looked at this almost deserted place and couldn't help but rub his palms.
The slaves that Huo Qubing sent here earlier have been settled in the manor he bought in advance and planted rice.
From now on, this will be his base camp.
After they separated, Xie Yuan took all the disciples to the new Longgang Academy.
Looking at this grand academy, the diners were speechless.
"It turns out that my lord has been thinking of moving south for a long time." Huo Qubing looked at the recently completed academy and sighed.
"Chaos in the north is a foregone conclusion. I should make some plans." Xie Yuan said with a smile.
After everyone sorted the ancient books brought from Longxi into the new library, the prefect of Kuaiji County sent a letter asking Xie Yuan to recommend talents.
Since the great chaos in the north, northern aristocratic families have moved to the south one after another to avoid the chaos.
In the south, there were formed a family with overseas surnames, headed by families who migrated to the north, and a family with the local surname Wu in the south.
Because they feel that the Wu family is very rustic and they are from southern barbarians, the overseas Chinese family can't stand the Wu family very much.
Similarly, the family with the surname Wu also dislikes the family with the surname Qiao - they eat the rice provided by them in the south and say that the southerners are bumpkin. Are there such people?
Then they began to fight for power and gain in the court.
The family surnamed Wu knew that the family surnamed Qiao looked down on the poor family and themselves, so they vigorously supported the children of the poor family and their own children to enter the court.
Anyway, now that the imperial court is in Jiankang, it belongs to them in the south, so they have the power to intervene no matter what.
The prefect of Kuaiji County is a true southerner, and he only wants to let the Wu family step on the Qiao family——
Therefore, after hearing that Xie Yuan had established Longgang Academy in Kuaiji County, he immediately compiled a book and asked him to recommend his disciples to become officials.
Xie Yuan readily agreed.
This played right into his heart.
After moving to Jiangnan, he was free to do what he wanted to do.
No matter how long the hands of the Qiao family are, they are not willing to reach south of the Yangtze River - they feel dirty.
Xie Yuan wrote a few names and was about to give them to the prefect of Kuaiji County when Lu Zhong came to the door.
"Sir, I also want to become an official." The young man lowered his head, making it difficult to see the look in his eyes.
"Shaohan also wants to become an official?" Xie Yuan frowned.
Lu Zhong's current status is very sensitive, and even if he becomes an official, he will not be promoted to a high official.
He thought for a moment, changed his identity for Lu Zhong, and wrote it in the recommendation letter.
At that time, the Wu family was anxious to use people from poor families and local children to fight against the children of the Qiao family, so they specifically told Dazhongzheng to select more children from poor families.
Dazhongzheng had received the favor from the Wu family and immediately agreed.
So Xie Yuan recommended all the children from poor families to become officials.
In March of the second year of Yongkang, Lu Zhong rushed to Jiankang, found Shangshu Ling, who had been friends with the head of the Lu family, and took refuge with him.
The minister took pity on Lu Zhong and made him Duan Gong.
This could be regarded as an errand that allowed him to get up close to the emperor. Lu Zhong didn't expect anything extra and just hid behind the scenes.
Hearing that Lu Zhong had become the imperial censor, Huo Qubing was sincerely happy for him.
This is a very high starting point. Even if you are not promoted to the rank of San Gong in the future, you can still reach the level of Zhongshu Ling.
While he was happy, Huo Qubing also began to feel sad.
Although his father was not in a hurry for him to become an official, he wanted him to get married as soon as possible.
At his age, my father already had an eldest brother and a second brother, and he was already in my mother's womb.
Fortunately, he had his lord as a reason, so he could always refuse, but he was often beaten with a military stick because of this.
Oh, his poor ass.
Another day, General Huo cried miserably to Xie Yuan, holding his swollen buttocks.
At that time, Xie Yuan was developing medicine to detoxify Cui Xunzhi.
Yes, after knowing that Cui Xunzhi was unable to speak because of poisoning, he searched for ancient medical books from Jiangnan to find a medicine that could detoxify Cui Xunzhi.
Hearing Huo Qubing cry miserably, Xie Yuan smiled and joked: "Uncle of the Huo family has been looking forward to the bride's arrival for a long time, why not fulfill his wish and get married as soon as possible. With your appearance, there must be many noble ladies rushing to get you."
Entering the Huo family's mansion."
Huo Qubing curled his lips: "You asked me to get a bride, but why didn't I see the master marrying Miss Cui into the mansion? I looked at the Miss Cui, and it was clear that she was interested in the master."
Xie Yuan: "..."
He can sit and lie down with his gun.
"I only treat her as a disciple like a disciple, or at most a younger sister." Xie Yuan shook his head.
Cui Xunzhi is very smart. He taught her the art of war and strategy, and she was very good at it. She could even draw inferences from one instance - it can be said that her intelligence was on par with Luo Chen's.
During the Northern Expedition, she insisted on going with him, saying that she wanted to record the war, so he let her observe in the army.
This girl actually guessed all their strategies without knowing it, and even wrote them down.
She said that if she could, she wouldn't want to be buried in the backyard and get jealous with the warblers.
While Xie Yuan was surprised, he thought of the tolerance of women in this era and couldn't help but agree with her words.
In this era, women could also be officials, but it was slightly more difficult than men.
However, it should be quite easy for Cui Xunzhi to become an official, because she is a noble daughter of a well-known family, but she cannot speak well, so she will inevitably be criticized in the court in the future.
So after moving to Jiangnan, Xie Yuan asked Cui Xunzhi if he wanted to be an official, but Cui Xunzhi refused.
She said that Xie Yuandu had not yet become an official, so she was not in a hurry.
The day Xie Yuan waited was also the day she and brother Yu Zhi waited.
"Yuzhi" is Cui Heng's word. It seems that Cui Heng talked to her a lot.
Xie Yuan stopped asking any more questions, thinking that detoxifying Cui Xunzhi would make her less criticized, so he often studied medical books.
While studying medical books, Xie Yuan also prepared to vigorously exploit the southern economy.
Only he knew that this was the first punch against the Qiao family. This chapter has been completed!
