Picked up a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 372
It wasn't until Wang Fu ordered Zhang Jiao to come that the soldiers realized that Zhang Jiao had passed away a long time ago. He sat quietly under the tree and could no longer talk about his fairy island to everyone. They were stunned for a long time before rushing to report to Wang Fu. After thinking for a while, Wang Fu asked Huang Zhong to deal with Zhang Jiao's funeral, while he went to their village with the natives.

Huang Zhong only brought four or five soldiers back, because he didn't know much about this place, and Wang Fu didn't know if there were any enemies here, or if there were any powerful forces like Guishuang, so he didn't dare to disperse the soldiers too much. Huang Zhong returned to his old place, looked at Zhang Jiao who passed away with a smile, he saluted heavily, and asked people to lift him up and carry him back to the shore. After seeing this, the soldiers who stayed behind kept asking questions.

Knowing that Zhang Jiao was dead, they kept silent and carried him back to the big boat.

After the death of a Han person, close relatives usually put a piece of jade or gold and silver in his mouth. Huang Zhong searched and found a piece of platinum, which was not too big or small, and put it in Zhang Jiao's mouth. After being taken care of, he went to Wang Fu's place again.

Wang Fu did not disclose Zhang Jiao's news to the soldiers. Those natives were driven by the soldiers. In the front were some former mountain people, led by Youtu. They lived in the mountains for a long time. The living environment is not much different from here. In order to be able to resist the humidity and the jungle pests in the south, Huang Zhong recruited more soldiers from the mountain people and even the barbarians, and the rest were all southerners.

There was no unacceptable situation.

Especially those mountain people, who have been in the woods all year round, are very familiar with traps and various obstacles. The traps of these native people are much worse than theirs. Several times, these native people wanted to lure them to The traps were all seen through by Youtu. Youtu followed the traps and searched little by little, and found the village of the aborigines before dark. With Wang Fu's order, the soldiers attacked the dilapidated village. .

Since the natives did not fight, Wang Fu did not order them to be killed. Instead, he began to search the village. First of all, he searched for those individual wooden houses. These wooden houses are obviously much more luxurious than the surrounding ones. If there are any valuable items here, they must be in these wooden houses. Wang Fu did not personally participate in these, so he was a little worried. He had noticed that Zhang Jiao was unwell earlier, and he might not be able to hold on for too long.

But he didn't expect that this horn would be so useless, he just went out to sea and died, so who should lead the way, Zhang Jiao is one of the few officials who knows the sea area going south, besides him, But no one can safely lead this fleet to the south to search. They are hundreds of large ships, which can be regarded as gathering almost all the strength of the navy in Yangzhou. If something goes wrong, is it okay?

It seems that this time, I am going to return in vain. Without Zhang Jiao, Wang Fu will not take the risk to continue sailing. The current plan is to return to Funan first, and use a small fleet to explore the surrounding waters. Only by cultivating a new batch of talents who are familiar with the surrounding waters as soon as possible can they continue their plans. Wang Fu sighed helplessly. Huang Zhong, who had just arrived, happened to see Wang Fu's melancholy sigh.

Huang Zhong was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help thinking that everyone said that Wang Jie believed in traitors, but he didn't think that he would also sigh for Zhang Jun's death. It seems that he is also a loving person.
The voyage from March to September in 18 in Jianning lasted for six months and was stopped due to the death of Zhang Jiao. However, Wang Fu did not return to Yangzhou, and continued to stay in the Funan area, sending small boats as scouts For the use of the surrounding sea area, Wang Fu also wrote a memorial report truthfully, and posted it to the temple. In the memorial, Wang Fu first wrote down the harvest of this trip to the south, such as how many islands were discovered, how many areas were explored, and the latest maps were drawn. Maps and the like.

Afterwards, casualties, shipwreck, etc. were indicated, and finally it was indicated that Zhang Jiao was dead and unable to continue sailing.

Hearing about Zhang Jiao's death, even though he shouldn't have, the Son of Heaven still felt an inexplicable excitement in his heart. Ever since he ascended the throne, he has been worried and always on guard. All officials know that there are tens of thousands of envoys in embroidered clothes. But I don't know that ten to eighty percent of the embroidered clothes envoys are in Jizhou, and they are constantly monitoring the alchemists in various counties and counties. In recent years, it is the alchemists who have executed the most by Zhang He. The emperor was so angry at the matter of Wang Fen in Jizhou before. Because of the fear of the opponents.

For so many years, he has been hesitating in his heart whether he wants to kill or use. He Shi repeatedly dissuades him, and the country is peaceful, but the evildoers will not come out, but he still has the killing intent for Zhang Jiao in his heart. Now, he is like a giant boulder. Landing on the ground, his heart felt extremely relaxed. What was recorded in the heavenly book never happened. Zhang Jiao, the rebel who was supposed to disturb the world, died for a big man.
On that day, the emperor was very happy to spoil Wang Meiren.

The death of Zhang Jiao did not cause any waves in this magnificent world. There are always people who are about to die, and there are always people who are born. The people and officials don't have so much time to cherish the memory of a dead alchemist. In the temple, Only Yuan Gong lamented for him. If he hadn't died, at this time, maybe a large amount of wealth would have already boarded the boat and headed to the treasury.

All the affairs in the south were suspended because of this, while Cui Shi did an excellent job in disaster relief in the north. Under his unified coordination, Xing Ziang, Lu Zhi, Tao Qian, Jia Xu and others showed their full abilities Originally, Cui Shi was not in charge of directing these people, but Jia Xu told the little fat man that if he wanted things to go well, he had to stand behind Cui Shi and let Cui Shi make overall arrangements, and he must not intervene.

Although the little fat man also wants to make a career, he has self-knowledge. A child like him is absolutely incapable of discussing important matters with these big bosses. After all, a child like Xun Yu is still a minority. Facts have proved that Jia Xu The persuasion is correct. After the little fat man supports Cui Shi, Cui Shi can completely command the officials in the whole north. In the name of the prince, the officials dare not refuse.

Even officials like Lu Zhi, Xing Ziang, and Dong Zhuo who are extremely discordant, and Cao Cao and Tao Qian, who have been rivals for a long time, can only listen to Cui Shi's orders. He carried out new measures on items such as stoves, clothes, houses, roads, ink stones, dry firewood, etc. Some items required a lot of hoarding, while others needed to be improved and advocated.

By October, Cui Shi was already very confident. He had already done a good job in all the measures for the snow disaster. He even wrote three books, one for disaster relief, which was for the temples. The emperor's book mainly tells about how temples should react after a local disaster. The emperor simply read it. Although the writing is a bit rough and not exquisite, it is enough for latecomers to use.

The second book was written for local officials, and naturally it taught them how to carry out disaster relief affairs as soon as possible. The last book may be the worst book ever written by Cui Gong. It is full of common sayings, which is because, This book was written for what the common people learned, and it also has an educational effect. Nowadays, most of the common people have also come out of government schools, and many people can read and write. Therefore, Cui Gong did not let the officials popularize it for them, but directly distributed it. When it comes to the people, let the people learn spontaneously.

With the completion of the three books, the scholars copied them one after another, and they flowed into the people. Cui Gong's prestige soared, and he became the only great Confucian among the masters of Confucianism who could compete with Zheng Xuan and Cai Yong. They all worked or studied in Liangzhou. At that time, the common people called them the Three Confucians of Xiliang.
