Three Kingdoms, at the beginning of the game, recognize the thief as the father, hit the spectacle,

After a long time, he let out a sigh of satisfaction, and inserted himself between Mi Fang and Wang Lang.

Different from Wang Lang, who has a relatively serious and rigid image, Chen Deng is only 25 or [-] years old this year, but he is elegant and easy-going, very easy to get along with.

If outsiders don't understand, they may still regard him as an ordinary rich man, and they can't see how noble the other party's background is.

But such a scholar in his twenties is the right-hand man under the command of Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, and he works under Tao Qian's tent together with his father Chen Gui and brother Chen Ying.

At the same time, he was also one of the two civil officials Tao Qian "loaned" to Zhang Yan from the Xuzhou area this time at Zhang Yan's request.

Back in Luoyang, when Zhang Yan met Mi Zhu for the first time, he discussed with Mi Zhu whether he could ask Tao Qian, the lord of the other party, to lend him some scribes to help him read the most embarrassing book that no one could use in the early days. period.

And considering that Zhang Yan holds a heavy army and has an almost unshakable backer in the court, Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, after learning of Zhang Yan's request from Mi Zhu, gritted his teeth and removed himself from Mi Zhu and Chen Gui. Apart from such important officials, the two most capable assistants were all lent to Zhang Yan.

It can be said that Tao Qian spent a lot of money this time in order to be able to make friends with the other party.

Of these two, Chen Deng naturally did not say that he is the son of Chen Gui, the second largest family in Xuzhou. He has read poetry and books for a long time since he was free, and has received special military education. He is a rare person in Xuzhou who is both civil and military .

As for Wang Lang, he studied with Taiwei Yang Ci since he was a child, and later became a doctor because of his proficiency in Confucian classics. Three years later, he became the county magistrate of Zhiqiu.

What's more, although Wang Lang's temper is a bit weird, the other party has a strong scholarly ambition, and he will definitely complete everything he wants to do.

Except for a few times when you will be half-killed by your own weird temper, this kind of personality can be said to be the most reassuring kind of personality for the superior.

He uttered a voice to stop the quarrel between the two, and Chen Deng pointed to the certificate in his hand, which brought the previous topic of the two to this.

"Zi Fang, speaking of this matter, let me ask you, has there been any war in Lujiang recently, or has there been any rebellion by rebels?"

Smiling and asking Mi Fang, Chen Deng's eyes seemed to fall on the other's face, but the admiration and curiosity in those eyes were obviously not for Mi Fang, a guy he played with since he was a child.

Mi Fang was taken aback when she heard the words, then subconsciously shook her head, and answered Chen Deng's question.

"Um, probably not?"

"In the past few years, I heard that there were quite a few troubles in Lujiang, but after Lu Kang of the Lu family in Wu County came to power, I didn't hear that the other party had any conflicts with those forces."

"Before I left, I heard Lao Pei, a general under Zhang Yan, said that Mr. Zhang planned to send troops to forcibly clear the mountains and rivers around the Lujiang River. It's just such a thing to suppress bandits. It's different from a formal war."

You know, Mi Fang grew up with Chen Deng since she was a child. Although there has never been a big gap between him and Chen Deng in terms of leading troops to fight and training, but in terms of brains, Mi Fang is far behind Chen Deng. .

Therefore, when Chen Deng was present, Mi Fang also habitually developed the habit of acting according to Chen Deng's ideas without using her brain.

In this regard, Mi Fang can be said to be very similar to Chen Deng's elder brother, Chen Ying who trained soldiers for Tao Qian.

Then, Mi Fang turned her puzzled eyes to Chen Deng who was aside.

"So, Yuanlong, there is no war in Lujiang. Does it have anything to do with the identification you just mentioned?"

Some curiously asked Chen Deng. Before Mi Fang could get an answer from the other party, she heard a disdainful and disdainful voice from her side.

"Hmph, how stupid!"

Chapter 27 The Details See the Truth

"Hmph, how stupid!"

Somewhat disdainfully choked at Mi Fang, before Chen Deng could continue to elaborate, Wang Lang turned around in front of the two of them, and explained to Mi Fang.

"Zifang, just imagine, if there is no war in Lujiang, but we ask for identification when we enter the city, and register our purpose of coming, hometown and other information, what does this mean?"

"This means that in Wancheng, or even in the entire Lujiang River, identity verification is not an isolated case, but happens to every commoner who comes and goes."

"At the same time, who comes to Lujiang every day, who leaves, and whether there are any important people or special status among them, all are under the control of Zhang Yan, the prefect of Lujiang."

"If Lujiang is in wartime right now, it's fine. After all, the city is closed during wartime, and it's not surprising that people entering and leaving the city are strictly controlled."

"But this is a time of peace! Zifang, can you imagine that if this situation has lasted for a month or even longer, then for Mr. Zhang, the entire population of Wancheng may have been wiped out?" He's almost crawling."

He explained to Mi Fang with a serious expression that Wang Lang was different from the other party. Before he resigned, he was also the head of a county. Naturally, he knew how terrible it would be if a consul knew all the resources under his command. What a rare thing.

And it wasn't until this time that Mi Fang showed an expression of sudden realization.

"Hey! I said, why is it different from the previous checkpoints in the north when we checked our identities, and actually asked about our place of origin..."

"Feelings are not to verify our identities, but to use this excuse to collect all our information into Mr. Zhang's hands!"

She clenched her right fist and tapped lightly on the palm of her left hand, only then did Mi Fang realize what the simple, seemingly innocuous scene just now meant in the eyes of Wang Lang and Chen Deng.

After all, unlike him who is already familiar with Zhang Yan, Wang Lang and Chen Deng have not had direct contact with each other before, so they subconsciously try to understand Zhang Yan from the details of various scenes in the city after entering the city. What kind of person is he.

At the same time, Chen Deng, who had never had a chance to intervene, nodded, and then continued following Mi Fang's previous words.

"That's right, Zifang, you were in a hurry to enter the city just now and didn't notice that after the official who was in charge of registering our information made the identity certificate, he also copied two copies by the way, and didn't give it to us, but He took it away by himself."

"This information is either Zhang Shijun's plan to organize it into a book to improve the population information of Wancheng and even the Lujiang area, so that he will be able to govern in the future, or he intends to select some talents he needs from it to meet his needs. own needs."

"Of course, my personal inclination in this matter is that both purposes exist at the same time."

Pursing his lips and explaining to Mi Fang, Chen Deng didn't look at Wang Lang at the side until he had finished speaking, and finally came to a conclusion for Zhang Yan.

"Zi Fang, if my guess is correct, this Mr. Zhang may indeed be as your brother said..."

"The behavior of the other party can almost be said to be thirsty for talents."

Looking at the distant city gate, Chen Deng's eyes showed some approval again.

He still remembered that when he was waiting for someone to be called to collect the information, the official in charge first asked everyone to write down their names and places of origin, then he glanced at himself and began to register some other information. information.

This little action seemed a bit redundant, or even unnecessary, but in Chen Deng's eyes, it represented another meaning.

"He is determining whether we are literate, or...whether we are scholars from a family background."

The corners of his mouth raised slightly, Chen Deng was not a half bottle of water like Mi Fang, after seeing the other party handing him a pen and paper, he immediately thought of it, if he waited for someone who couldn't write, then what should he do? .

And this was something that Mi Fang hadn't noticed at all before.

Perhaps for Mi Fang, being able to read and write is his most basic ability as a scholar. It's like asking a farmer how to plow the field or a blacksmith how to forge iron. These are all answers that can be answered without using the brain. The problem.

But you must know that the city gate they just entered will register the identities of all pedestrians who come and go.

Just such a small action made the three of them a little different from ordinary people in the eyes of the official.

What's more, I'm afraid that when the two backed up identity certificates are handed over to Zhang Yan's desk, a "scholar" mark will be added to everyone's profile.

……

The short journey was spent in the sound of Chen Deng and Wang Lang's analysis of your words and my words, and soon, a group of three people came to a house that Mi Fang bought in Wancheng when Mi Fang was temporarily living in Wancheng. Inside the residence.

It was also at this time that Mi Fang sent her own envoy to send the three people's invitations to Qiao Mansion where Zhang Yan was located.

After that, the three of them relaxed their bodies and minds, and sat in the main hall of the folk house, chatting about what they had seen and heard today.

"The above and this situation show that the envoy Zhang who parachuted to Lujiang must be a smart person, and he must have literati assistants who are proficient in governing political affairs. After knowing that he came to a place he was not familiar with, Where should the most important work begin."

"Even I think, combined with the fact that the envoy said that he lacks the assistance of scribes, it is very likely that this person who is proficient in political affairs is himself."

"Hey, I just don't know what kind of person this Ambassador Zhang is."

Looking out of the window with some curiosity, Chen Deng seemed to be very interested in Zhang Yan's image, so the topic along the way never moved away from him.

Only this time, Wang Lang, who had always had the same opinion as Chen Deng, shook his head and interrupted the other party's conjecture.

"Yuanlong, you said he is proficient in government affairs, isn't that true?"

"Don't forget, both Zi Zhong and Zi Fang have told us that although the envoy Zhang lives in two thousand stones and is a first-class prince, his background..."

"He's the godson of the one in Luoyang, a half-born yamen, what chance does he have to be proficient in government affairs?"

Chapter 28 Tao Gongzu doesn't know people, why don't he change jobs together

There seemed to be a little disdain in his eyes. Although Wang Lang praised his previous experience at the city gate, the praise was for the entire Zhang Yan and his team, not for Zhang Yan alone. .

For Zhang Yan, the marquis who has been quite famous recently, Wang Lang always held a somewhat contemptuous attitude.

It wasn't that he looked down on the other party himself, but that he didn't believe that a guy who had become a monk half way and got up by hugging the eunuch's thigh could do a series of actions that surprised him even by his own ability.

In Wang Lang's eyes, he obviously believed that whether it was checking the population or screening out hidden scholars for use through population checking, it was the choice made by Zhang Yan's "counselors" for him.

"Yuanlong, if you ask me, you don't need to belittle yourself like this."

"The three of you and I are all from famous families. Even if Zifang is a little ignorant, he is still a real Mi family child. How could he not be able to get into the eyes of the eunuch?"

Slowly speaking in Chen Deng's direction, Wang Lang's expression at this time was still quite serious, but in that seriousness, there was a hint of arrogance.

This is the fact, and it is an almost eternal truth that the warriors in the world are more important than the literati.Although Wang Lang and Zhang Yan did not know each other, this did not prevent Wang Lang's arrogance as a traditional literati from playing a role.

When Chen Deng heard this, he frowned, apparently disapproving of Wang Lang's speculation just now.

"Jing Xing's words are wrong. Do you remember that Zhang Shijun once bluntly said that he lacked someone to help..."

……

"But people are different. For example, this businessman, perhaps for people like Zizhong and Zifang, if the annual expenditure is less than ten thousand yuan, it can almost be said to be frugal, and the life is extremely unhappy. .”

"But for those ordinary families, even if a family of five spends all their energy for a year, it may not be half as much as Zi Fang's."

"Who can say for sure, does this envoy already have a large number of civil servants to assist him, but the other party values ​​talents and always feels that he has not enough scholars, so he has the cheek to borrow someone from Tao Gongzu?"

You say what you say, Chen Deng and Wang Lang seem to be two different aspects of the same political opinion. Whether it is in the cognition of Zhang Yan or in the judgment of some things, the two are pessimistic and optimistic , One cautious, one arrogant, it is a joy to argue.

Until the end, Mi Fang, who was still sitting in the middle, couldn't stand it anymore, and then she spoke to break the logical theoretical atmosphere between the two.

As a young man who wholeheartedly seeks refuge with Zhang Yan and wants to prove himself by making achievements under the other party's command, Mi Fang doesn't need to wait so much, as long as he can understand one thing, it is completely enough.

……

"So, Yuanlong, you think that Zhang Yan...shijun has outstanding personal ability, but he is a little worried that I may not be able to meet his needs, while Jing Xing thinks that Zhang Yan's personal ability is average, but his subordinates must Is there someone to help you?"

"Please, what's the point of arguing about it, isn't it a good thing for us!"

"I don't know about you two, but I made it clear in advance that I'm going to hang out with Zhang Shijun. Before I set off a few days ago, I told Tao Gongzu about this matter, and my resignation has already been handed in. In Tao Gongzu's hands."

"Whether Zhang Shijun has outstanding personal ability or is eager for talents, and has many talents under his command, this is a rare opportunity for me!"

Excitedly, she patted the table, and Mi Fang's cheeks turned red at the moment.

You know, he intends to work hard with Zhang Yan. It is best to get a higher and more powerful official position under the opponent's hands, and prove to the opponent that he is not worse than the opponent at all. .

If Zhang Yan's team is stronger, it means that the other party will definitely rise to the top for a period of time in the future, and even raise his own status.

Thinking of this, he even turned to look at Wang Lang and Chen Deng beside him, and his expression became a little excited.

"Let me tell you, Yuan Long, Jing Xing, why don't you two just follow Zhang Shijun and do it together!"
