Shu Chen

Chapter 405
Luzuo people, if they want to get ahead, often have to pay more hardships.

In particular, Wei Guo's nine-rank official system has been implemented for many years.

However, Shi Bao never imagined that he finally got a chance to enter the high school, but was kicked out in a daze.

Is it because my words are inappropriate?

Or is it because I don't know the current policy well, so I am regarded as a boaster?
He returned to the market full of melancholy, but also doubting himself.

When he was young, the Xuanmen Xiahouxuan who recommended him rushed to him, half to apologize for humiliating him because of his good intentions, and half to say goodbye to him when Xiahouxuan returned to Luoyang.

The few secretive words made Shi Bao finally know the reason why Xia Houxuan chased away the guests.

When he spoke freely about the current situation, he praised Sima Yi, the governor of Yongliang, for his military talents, especially for the measures of opening ditches and farming for self-sufficiency.

Although it was a case-by-case discussion, it also offended Xia Houxuan's rebellion.

Such a reason made him laugh and cry.

He really didn't know that Sima Yi had conflicts with Xia Houxuan.
However, it’s okay not to know.

He felt that he was as famous as Xiahou Taichu, but that's all!

Seeing the back of the doorman leaving in a hurry, Shi Bao comforted himself.

right!He suddenly felt that it was a blessing not to be under Xia Houxuan's sect.

Because some people see it clearly, and they take it lightly.

It doesn't matter whether he is a celebrity who is well-known in the capital, or a noble queen.

Scholars should do it with all sincerity.

Regardless of the conflicts between Xia Houxuan and Sima Yi, Xia Houxuan can't deny now that he is inferior to Sima Yi in terms of talent and scheduling.

That being the case, why not learn from each other's strengths to benefit our own weaknesses?

Mount Tai does not let the soil, so it can become big; the river and the sea do not choose trickles, so it can be deep.

How can such a person be worthy of entrusting himself to someone who hears about the strengths of others, but does not want to make progress but blames others!

Shi Bao, who lost his mind, continued to wait for the opportunity to come.

While bored, I also wondered in my heart whether I should compromise with reality.

Yes, he has another option.

When he was a small official in Jizhou, he met Deng Ai.

However, Deng Ai, who also came from a poor family, had a much better fortune than him.Not only was he appreciated by Sima Yi, but he was also brought from Jingzhou to Guanzhong and promoted to be a school lieutenant, treating him like a confidant.

When Shi Baofu first arrived in Guanzhong, he also had the idea of ​​seeking Deng Ai's recommendation.

But then I thought about it and gave up.

First, his friendship with Deng Ai is only mediocre.

Deng Ai may not be able to do his best to find a future for him if he suddenly went to ask for him after not seeing him for many years.

Secondly, today's Deng Ai is no more than a school lieutenant, and he is still a soft-spoken person. If you ask him to recommend him, you may not be able to get Sima Yi to summon him.

Just like Shi Bao had previously met Xu Yun, Cao Lang of Shangshu Xuan, and asked him to recommend him to obtain a post in a county, but Xu Yun, who appreciated his talents, was helpless.

Furthermore, Deng Ai was self-confident and devoted to fame, so he was never liked by his colleagues in Yongliang.

Even if he is recommended to enter the official career as he wishes, he may be jealous of others, and it will be difficult to act in the future.

Under many scruples, it was not possible.

But now after being rejected by Xia Houxuan, Shi Bao's thoughts once again arose in his heart.

Without him, he has wasted too many years from working as a "Ginong Sima" in the countryside to a small official in Yecheng, and now he is more than two years old when he entered Guanzhong, and he no longer wants to be famous and be appreciated by nobles.

Simply, go to the south of Helan Mountain to see Deng Ai, and see if there is an opportunity.

Whether it is successful or not, there is no longer a thought.

Shi Bao, who hesitated for several days and finally settled down, was about to resign from his post as a small official to put it into action, but there was another turning point.

Just at this time, Sima Yi returned to Chang'an to dispatch Yongliang soldiers and horses into Jingzhou, and asked Yongzhou governor Guanqiu Jian to supervise the field officials and the people to transfer the grain, fodder and supplies to Jingzhou first.

At this time, the director would certainly not agree to Shi Bao's resignation.

Even if you want to agree, you have to wait until the transfer of food, fodder and supplies.

Shi Bao, whose duty is inevitable, can only urge Li Shu to go south to Wuguan according to the law.

The law of Wei is strict, and those who miss the deadline must be executed.

Therefore, Shi Bao, who was tired all the way, saw the sorrowful faces of Li Shu in the daytime; at night, he heard them singing the poem "Buddhist feathers" in the pre-Qin period: Su Su bustard wings, gathered on the bud spines.The king's affairs are exhausted, and he can't share millet. How can his parents eat?The sky is so long, so wonderful
Complaints abound, nothing more.

Among them, Li Shu who migrated from Jizhou is the most miserable.

At that time, the Luoyang Temple decided to implement the policy of Shiguanzhong in Jizhou, and offered many benefits such as land registration and tax reduction and exemption for enlisting in the army, which attracted many poor tenants who had no place to stand.However, after they came to Guanzhong, they found that their livelihood was even more miserable than Jizhou.

When they were in Jizhou, they could still rely on the aristocratic and wealthy families to survive.

However, in Guanzhong, where wars are frequent, most of the granted fields are classified as civilian villages, and the grain and fodder transferred to the government's grain depot after the autumn harvest every year is no less than the amount paid per mu.

And corvee is too frequent!
For example, in this battle, from the late winter of last year to the autumn harvest of this year, the government has never stopped confiscating Li Shu to transfer grain, fodder and supplies!
It was not easy for Bashu to strike back and go back, but they had to transfer to Jingzhou again.
oh~~
The sky is so long, so wonderful.

The most deplorable thing is that the Luoyang Temple took the Guanzhong Sanfu as the theater of operations, and promised to Sima Yi, the governor of Yongliang, to use military law to control it when necessary!

It is the kind of strict law that prohibits and punishes those who violate it, but it is applied to the herdsmen!
In fact, the common people knew that Luo Yang had granted Sima Yi the right to act cheaply based on the lessons learned from Cao Zhen's previous experience when Cao Zhen's troops left Longyou because of the lack of food and strikes back because of civil unrest in Guanzhong.

But knowing doesn't mean enjoying yourself.

How can they live and work in peace under the fear of being killed at every turn?
Shi Bao, who was born in a humble background, knew clearly the courage and anger of the Li Shus.

Therefore, when "The Bustard's Feather" was sung in the mouths of the townspeople in Jizhou, and when the sorrow filled the night and the stars disappeared sadly, he was also deeply saddened.

The children of poor families have no way to seek official positions; the common people of Li and common people complain a lot.

Cao Wei Daihan, is it really the destiny?

I continue to wait for the opportunity calmly, will I really usher in the day when my talents and learning can be displayed?
Tossing and turning without sleep, he was quietly asking himself.

It's just that the dark night didn't give him an answer, only the insects who didn't know the joys and sorrows in the world were singing happily, and the water that ran day and night was twirling.

Well, the water at the exit at the northern end of Meridian Valley.

Coincidentally, Li Shu, who was far away in the two prefectures of Yanyu, also complained.

From Wei Wen Cao Pi's three expeditions to Jiangdong, to the bandit Wu's frequent invasion of the bandits, Huainan, where there is almost no war at all ages, has made them unbearable.And this time the thief Wu broke through the new city of Hefei, surrounded Shouchun with soldiers, and the war spread to the north of the Huai River, and they were even more panicked all day long.

Can the Son of Heaven conquer the enemy as soon as possible?

Li Shu, who was transporting food, fodder and supplies, looked at the dozens of miles of banners and had no answer in his heart.
