Country and Beauty

Although Xie Fei was under suspicion because of the rise of his empire, it still did not stop the famous scholars of Luoyang from backing down.

Due to Xie Fei gradually understanding the actual situation of the Jin Dynasty, he had instead set a certain threshold for the Scholars's surrender. Many of the famous people in Scholars were originally not mediocre, many of them had a history of education, and their standard of education was rather high. But they were better suited to the salon and the arts than to the council chamber. For example, Wang Hui, the son of the Scholar Wang Xizhi, was extremely skilled in calligraphy and painting. However, he was just like the majority of the disciples of Scholars. Although he might be suitable to do many things, she was just not suitable to be an official. However, he was from the Lang Xie Wang family, so she could of course get herself an official according to her privileges. He became a commander-in-chief in the cavalry of General Huan Chong, the equivalent of a cavalry staff officer. However, he was fine, her hair was a mess every day, and she did not do anything proper.

Wang Hui's foolishness was far too out of line. One day, the boss, Huan Chong, deliberately asked him: "What do you care?" Wang Hui thought for a moment and replied, "I don't know. But sometimes I see people leading horses in front of me. "Maybe I'm in charge of horses?" The cavalry army, saying that she was the one in charge of the horses? To be described by future generations, this is simply an international joke.) With a good temper, Huan Chong did not call him a pig. Instead, she asked, "How many horses do you care about?" Wang Huizhi said: "But I've never asked about this, how do I know how many horses there are?" "Do you know how many horses have died recently?" Wang Huizhi thought his question was stupid, "I don't even know how many live horses there are, how do I know how many dead horses there are?" If they met such a subordinate, logically speaking, they should have changed their job. However, Huan Chong did not have the courage to take on a Scholars just because she had failed her duty.

Since ancient times, when cultured people spoke of a scholar, they were extremely impressed. If a scholar could not become a high official, then it was said that the government was blind. For example, Liu Yong, who was good at transcribing words, the emperor thought he was only suitable for writing and refused to work for him. Later on, some scholars complained that the emperor had destroyed culture, as if culture was just for cultural officials. A lot of people who drink too much, do not work too well, and are always accompanied by the frustration of being unable to achieve their ambition, and being unable to return to the country. Perhaps some people are like this, but it seems to me that more "sluts" are simply alcoholics who don't go to the country to drink, they are just simple drunkards. They did not do their work because they did not have the conditions to display their talents. It was only because they were used to idling around. Amongst the officials of the Jin Dynasty, the percentage of talents was probably the highest in the entire history of China. But what about the politics of the Jin Dynasty? Culture and politics are the two forces of society, and the confluence of the two only leads to a perverted social structure.

The Jin Dynasty's "administrative officials are proud for not asking about administrative matters, the local officials are proud for not asking about the hardships of the people, the judges are proud for not asking about the litigation, and the generals are proud for not asking about the military."

The fact that the Scholars produced such a atmosphere had a lot to do with the historical background at that time. The Scholars relied on their family's leader to obtain an official position, if they were asked to take care of official matters seriously and enforce the law, it would be equivalent to placing them and the Han Family officials under the same assessment criteria. The average political talent of the Han Family, who were able to earn a place in the rankings against them, was definitely above that of the Scholars. One did not have a elimination mechanism, while the other had a elimination mechanism. If the officials of Scholars came here to take the examination on the same criteria as them, their stupidity and incompetence would certainly be made clear.

Xie Fei used his talent, he had offended even more Scholars, even with the help of Bi Zhuo's calligraphy, he was still a newcomer. Father, I said. He was a famous drunkard in history, so he ignored all political affairs. It would be difficult for such a person to obtain Xie Fei's favor by coming to Xie Fei's side, and leave the Duke of Qin's Palace with his face covered in dirt.

Bi Zhuo Feng then said: "Xie Fei is now just a stray dog, even after fighting a few victories on the battlefield. So what? In my opinion, it's just a last ditch effort. Please don't even think about me helping him! "

When Xie Fei heard the members of the Shadow Clan reporting this information, Xie Fei was speechless. He thought to himself, in terms of shamelessness, Bi Zhuo is considered the best in the world. "

However, Xie Fei understood that since a strong military man had founded an empire, how was he supposed to manage it? If he could not send enough officials to the various places, if he could not take the test to control these officials, then the only way was to entrust power to a local aristocrat. He could take over these nobles, and he could strike down those who were unfaithful to him. However, he could not conceal the fact that he could not truly control these nobles. As time passed, this noble would surely accumulate his own strength. This power was a centrifugal force for the Empire. As the ancient Chinese people only had direct descendants who could inherit the heritage of their ancestors, the direct descendants of the Scholars were not as successful as they were, creating idiotic emperors and idiots generals. The powerless thorny history, the powerless scum.

At this time, if Xie Fei wanted to implement complicated administration, he had to fill up and support large and meticulous bureaucracy. What Xie Fei needed to do was to use a bureaucrat to replace a noble. The most important means of doing so is the system of examination. Although the matters of the school did not come to fruition, this did not stop Xie Fei from enforcing the examination system. In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the imperial examination system was introduced, and it was in this era that the aristocracy came to an end and the imperial power became supreme. This trend has never changed. The content of the Imperial Examinations is not important. What is important is that the system subverts the hereditary tendency in a gentle way. The winner of the examination was not a nobleman, but a bureaucrat. Scholars from all over the country were selected and evaluated on the same scale and incorporated into a common bureaucracy. Its impact on Chinese history cannot be overemphasized.

In order to avoid scum from the administrative team, Xie Fei tested the examination method of the imperial examinations. The first priority was to be virtuous and then to be talented.

However, what surprised Xie Fei was that, not only did the Scholars respond to his lack of knowledge, even the Humble Class teachers were pitifully few in number. It was because Xie Fei's reforms in the Azure Province had touched upon the bottom line in the hearts of the world's scholars. Furthermore, there was Xie Fei's massacre on the ground, which made Han Shi very dissatisfied. After all, in Han Shi's opinion, Xie Fei's actions were against the path of mercy.

However, in order to enrich Xie Fei's administrative team, on account of his younger brother, Xie Pou recommended Yang Man, Yang Gu, Xie Kun and a large group of talents to him.

After Xie Fei, Sima Shu and the others got married, they stayed at the Luoyang until March 311 AD.

After staying in this world for so long, Xie Fei had no choice but to develop the style of an official. He was also at ease and at ease, no longer feeling so uncomfortable all over.

Zhong Chang Servant Chang De brought two young eunuchs into the courtyard, and smiled at Xie Fei from afar: "I haven't seen His Highness Duke of Qin for a while, I miss him a lot!

Hearing that soft and flattering voice, Xie Fei unconsciously felt goosebumps all over his body. He quickly waved his hands and said, "It's best if you don't think of me, and think of how to serve your majesty!"

Chang De laughed: "His Highness Duke of Qin must be joking, serving the emperor is this old servant's duty, I miss you, His Highness Duke of Qin is this old servant's respect for the His Highness Duke of Qin! These are two different things, and should not be confused! "

Xie Fei knew that if he continued to bicker with Chang De, the one who would suffer the loss would always be himself, so he seriously asked: "If it wasn't for the matter of the regular attendant coming here, what is it?"

Chang De hurriedly brought along a young eunuch as he bowed and greeted, "Welcome, His Highness Duke of Qin!"

Xie Fei followed Chang De into the palace and entered the palace. Chang De chanted in a loud voice, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the Duke of Qin has arrived.

At this time, Sima Chi and Xie Fei talked a lot. In the end, the Empress spoke with teary eyes, "His Highness Duke of Qin, this trip to the Qin Province was a long one. The journey took a thousand miles, and along the way, we encountered difficulties and twists and turns, but my Princess Zhu`er grew up in the palace and didn't go far. Not only did she have to suffer the pain of separation, she also had to suffer this pain.

After she finished speaking, the empress waved her sleeve and lowered her eyes. Her teary eyes revealed a sorrowful expression.

Although Sima Chi deliberately hid the pain of parting from his heart, his expression was still despondent.

Xie Fei sighed helplessly, and cupped his fists: "Please rest assured Empress, since the princess has entered our Xie Clan, this subject will not be negligent in the slightest, as long as I am present, I will ensure Princess An Ning's integrity! As long as I, Xie Fei, still have one breath, even if my body is smashed to smithereens, I will ensure that there is no worry at the northwest border of Da Jin. "

Yong Jia, for five years, was also the year when Sima Chi became the ruler of a country. This year, Liu Cong attacked the Luoyang three times, capturing thousands of people under the Jin Wai Di Si Ma, and then burned the Luoyang to the ground.

Xie Fei brought Sima Shu, Zhuge Mingyue, Shui Ruyan and Woman Wan to the center of the carriage, while he led the six hundred odd soldiers of the scout camp to the front to clear the way. They travelled westward, and under the lead of the army's guide, they passed through the Taihang Mountains. Although the Taihang Mountains road was extremely difficult to traverse, compared to the Blood Blade Camp, this place was like a fish in water. The Huns and the Xianbei member were both cavalry, and the mountain road was small, not conducive to a large number of cavalry charging.

In Xie Fei's army, there was a bright and beautiful scenery, which was Xie Fei's female barracks. Considering that this female barracks was too general, Xie Fei changed the name of the female barracks to Luan Wei Fang. Actually, in the East Han Dynasty, there was also a Luan Wei Fang. Emperor Guang Guang Wu deeply loved her imperial concubine Yin Hua. He had to kowtow to her imperial concubine and empress when they met … Emperor Guang Wu didn't want Yin Lihua to suffer this humiliation, so whenever he sent troops to war, he would bring Yin Lihua with him. It was not in accordance with the rules to bring a woman into the military camp. There were also many inconvenience... Emperor Guang Wu later thought of a way to make Yin Lihua form an army, all made up of women. On the surface, Yin Lihua was the commander of the army, but in reality, he was trying to calm down the criticism in the barracks. However, Yin Lihua was indeed a great lady. After taking over this army, he actually trained to a certain extent. Once, in the midst of a great battle, they had defeated the enemy's elite forces. However, their side had suffered heavy casualties. Emperor Guang Wu praised them very much. He said that he wanted to keep this troop and even gave them the name Luan Wei Fang … The meaning behind his words was that the guard battalion, which protected the phoenix, was made up entirely of female soldiers.

Moreover, this palace also required eunuchs and palace maids. However, Xie Fei was a descendant of the later generations, and had a deep taboo towards eunuchs. The late Eastern Han Dynasty's Zhang Jean, the late Ming Dynasty's Wei Zhongxian, and Li Lianyin. Therefore, Xie Fei did not plan to set up a eunuch in the palace.

Xie Fei intended to use the female barracks as an inner palace guard and servant.

In fact, it was not that Liu Cong did not plan to ambush them while they were on their way to the Huns Kingdom, but considering the Black Shirt Army's terrifying fighting strength, he felt a bit of lingering fear. He thought that back then, Xie Fei had dared to use a thousand of his men to create trouble for the Pingyang, and now that he had over a hundred thousand men under his command, wouldn't that be like adding wings to a tiger? He was afraid that Xie Fei would use any means to take revenge and forcefully reject the idea of a strategist.

Although Liu Cong did not plan to take action, Murong Zheng could not, because at this moment he knew that in the battle of rami cordis, only Murong You and tens of thousands of his men had managed to escape. Even if he wanted to use troops against Xie Fei, he couldn't. Due to the severe injuries caused by the, various tribes in the Northeast had started to make unusual moves. Murong Clan had no choice but to gather their army in the Liaodong to prevent any changes to the people. However, not doing anything was equivalent to letting the tiger return to the mountain. After making the enemy's foundation stable and strong, then using the army on them would undoubtedly be raising the tiger. After thinking about it, Murong Hou decided that no matter what, he would take revenge for his own people, for the sake of Big Yan's future. He would definitely not let Xie Fei leave peacefully, or else, he would definitely be annihilated by the Black Shirt Army.

However, he had no time to bother with this matter, and could only ask Gao Xu. At this time, Gao Xu had already gotten rid of the Murong father and son duo from the Murong Army. They could be considered to be fairly influential people, and thus, Murong Xiang had listened to everything Gao Xu said. It could be said that he was a wise man with many talents in the army. He was a tactful military advisor.

Gao Xu laughed: How difficult is this matter? As long as our army sends out a thousand light cavalry soldiers to ambush at a certain place in advance, disguised as a local villager, even if we cannot deal with a hundred thousand Qin Army s, with the help of the Qin Army's spies, we can promptly understand the arrangements for the retreat of the Qin Army's troops. As long as Xie Fei is able to make an ambush, it will be best to kill Xie Fei and the other wives, if he manages to escape, it will be a huge blow to his life, and as a result, his weakness will be that he values his wife and feelings too much, and will not die from it! "

"Huh?" If he couldn't kill Xie Fei, then he would have to kill several of Madam Xie. That would be a huge blow to Xie Fei, you have to understand that Xie Fei had always valued relationships with people, so if several of his wives were killed, wouldn't that mean he would collapse? This plan was really vicious, but towards someone like Xie Fei who valued friendship too much, it was the most effective.

Actually, Xie Fei's goal was very simple, it was to pass through the Southern Mountains, pass through the Wu Capital, pass through the River County, arrive at the Zhang Ya, and after going through rest and recuperation, take the way to enter the Qin Province. It wasn't that Xie Fei wasn't wary of Murong Ta. With Xianbei member's personality, it would be strange for him to not take revenge after suffering such a huge loss in rami cordis. However, Xie Fei had traveled through the Southern Mountain Range (called the Southern Mountain Range because it was south of Tang Changan City) and met with another strange occurrence.

When he first entered the Southern Mountain Range, he could still figure out the direction, but after going in deeper, Xie Fei realized that the foot of the mountain was like a maze, it made people feel dizzy. In the mountains, there were venomous vipers, clouded leopards, and other ferocious beasts. They often attacked their troops. It was a good thing that Xie Fei was a member of the special forces in the future and was not the best at attacking from the front, but in the jungle or in street fights in the cities. It was also a Big Dipper locator. Although the role of the locator had been lost, it could still be used as a compass.

Especially in the camp at night, there were often poisonous bugs that attacked them, and it was only a short ten days. Nearly a hundred people had died. In the end, it was Xie Fei who found a plant in the forest according to the memories of the later generations, allowing the soldiers to free themselves from the poisonous insects. But for Xie Fei's group. This venomous bug was merely the beginning, the true test. It came quickly.

How could he determine the direction in this maze of mountains? How to keep the communication smooth for thousands of people? A series of questions was placed in front of Xie Fei. Especially the question of direction … The group was more than ten miles apart. It was inevitable that he would fall behind and get lost. Sometimes, a small group of people would disappear without a trace. The farther up the mountain they went. The more the soldiers slipped away, the more serious it became.

Xie Fei sat beside the bonfire, holding a long black rock in his hands. He played with it over and over again, deep in thought.

"Hubby!" What are you doing with a magnet? " Zhuge Mingyue asked in confusion.

"Yue Er, you know it!"

With Xie Fei's understanding of the compass, although the compass was one of the four great inventions of ancient China, it was recorded in the "Han Feizi Wen" and the book "Ghost Valley Zi". It was recorded in "Ghost Valley Zi" that when the people of Zheng went deep into the forest to collect the jade, they brought "Si Nan" in order not to get lost. This "Si Nan" was a machine like a compass. Wang Chong of the Eastern Han Dynasty described "Si Nan" in "A Discussion on the Balance". The guidebook was first proposed by Zhang Heng in the book of Tokyo. It passed through Wei Jin, Nan Bei Chao, Sui and Tang dynasties, and only gradually developed after more than a thousand years in the Song Dynasty. Shen, an outstanding scientist in Song Dynasty, gave a detailed account of the state of the development of the compass in her book, A Discussion on Dreaming Creek. Therefore, the compass should have been invented by the Song Dynasty. That was why Xie Fei had a question.

Zhuge Mingyue laughed: "How can I not recognize you? This magnet had existed during the Warring States Era, and the Mountain and Sea Scripture also recorded it. It said that there were magnets on the mountain, and gold and copper beneath them. Heh heh, wasn't this how Si Nan was made? "Master, you can't be thinking of using this to be Si Nan, right?"

Xie Fei nodded, then shook his head: "No, I'm thinking about how to let every army be equipped with this item. at least it will allow us to avoid getting lost in the wilderness. "

Zhuge Mingyue shook her head repeatedly, "It's difficult, very difficult... It might not be easy for every hundred of them to defeat Si Nan. Not to mention other places, such a magnet could only make one Si Nan. One hundred people for a set of Si Nan, that would require at least two hundred of equivalent magnets. "If it were in the ordinary course of events, it would be easy to deal with it now …"

However, Xie Fei seemed to have heard it, but also seemed to not have heard it. A compass? In his previous life, he was a special forces soldier, and this was a specialized training on how to make simple compass. Right now, Si Nan was actually the previous body of the future generation's compass. However, it was very big and carrying it was also very troublesome. Moreover, even if he was Si Nan, the conditions here would not allow it. Xie Fei knew how to make a compass, but the biggest problem was the magnetic needle.

Xie Fei suddenly had an idea, and thought that he had it. Xie Fei shouted: "Qi Yu!"

"This lowly general is here!"

"Go and ask the soldiers of the Luan Wei Fang if they have anything to do with sewing needles. A girl! They will definitely carry these things with them. "

Zhuge Mingyue asked curiously, "Master, are you going to sew clothes? Just do it for those women! "

Xie Fei shook his head and did not answer.

Not long later, Qi Yu ran over with a bag of needles.

Xie Fei took out a needle and lightly rubbed it on the magnet. This is a very simple method of artificial magnetization.

He picked up a dagger and started to ponder. Soon, a simple compass was made. Xie Fei first used the dagger's compass to identify the direction, and then took out the self-made compass, but there actually wasn't any difference. After distinguishing between the north and south, Xie Fei drew a conclusion based on the experiences of future generations.

North, south, left, right, east. As long as he could discern the north, then the other directions would become simpler.

Zhuge Mingyue was still a little confused at first, but sshe quickly guessed the theory behind it. One had to know, if Zhuge Mingyue was placed in the future, he would be an outstanding genius. Towards this kind of thing, the most surprising thing was that even though the future generations would even know something that was only meant for primary school students, they were actually questioned by the great daughter for an entire night.

For the time being, these eight words were enough to have a huge impact.

Xie Fei had people create more than three hundred sets of simple compass in the middle of the night. Each of them had sixty people creating a set, and after trying for a period of time, the effect was very obvious. The number of people who lost their way had obviously decreased. Everyone looked at Xie Fei differently. Xie Fei still wanted to do more, so with his plans, it would be best if each class had one set. But the Luan Wei Fang's female soldiers and the Woman Wan's female servants also only brought this many needles, as long as they could barely use it!
