The Three Kingdoms Of The North Are Proud And Heroic

In the hall, Liu Taishou took a sip of the teacup slowly, frowning slightly and thinking about Zu Zhao's words.

It's just that during his tenure, and even in his life, he has never encountered such a thing, and he has never heard of Zu Zhao's arrangement, which is really contrary to common sense. He has always advocated keeping to himself, even if it is not about himself, then he must follow the rules and regulations in everything, and there is no room for any transgression.

But after all, he himself still attaches great importance to virtuous people, on the one hand, it is due to nature, and on the other hand, he also has to worry about his reputation as a "corporal of courtesy", although Zu Zhao is still young, but he is a famous young talent, since the other party can bring this matter up so seriously, he has to listen to it anyway.

Immediately, he put down the teacup, slowly bowed his head, and asked, "Zu Zhao, since you have this idea, you might as well come to this mansion to listen to it." If it is really a good policy to protect the territory and the people, the government will definitely make a promise.

Zu Zhao then gave out all the thoughts in his heart, his plan was not complicated in the first place, it was nothing more than to continue to use the set of thieves in the winter every year, and the most important thing was to obtain the name promised by the county government, and then he could logically form a private army. In fact, it is not difficult to form a private armed force nowadays, not to mention that the powerful clans have a store of disciples, and even the county governments in various places sometimes have insufficient recruits and soldiers, and they are all filled by the disciples of the county monarch and the county lieutenant.

Even Zu Fan, who is a tour payer, because Xu Wuxian is not a wealthy county, the county government does not have extra expenses to arrange a deputy for him. Zu Fan's subordinates are all supported by the ancestral family and recruited by him personally.

There are not many customers in the ancestral village, mainly because the ancestral family is prosperous. With the strength of the ancestral family, privately recruiting five or six hundred people and horses is not a big problem at all, whether it is armor or grain and grass, it can be supplied sufficiently. It's just that because of the large number of people who need to be recruited, it is necessary to have a reasonable name anyway.

In his plan, Zu Zhao deliberately emphasized that in the past, the civilian defense against thieves and huma did not have much disadvantage in numbers, and the key was that the equipment was too backward. Except for a few doormen who have short knives to defend themselves, most of them can only use sticks and farm tools instead. After all, the children of a family like Zu Zhao who have bows, horses and halberds, especially those who have Xi martial arts since childhood and dare to fight, are even rarer. And the thieves are mostly unexpected, and Huma is able to ride and shoot, and it is difficult for ordinary people to deal with it.

After listening carefully to Zu Zhao's introduction, Liu Taishou fell into contemplation again, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "Zu Zhao, don't you want to distribute military armor to every household?" According to the law, each county government originally had a treasury, but in case of emergency, it could distribute armor to the arsenal, arm the righteous soldiers, refuse thieves, and be conscripted. But afterwards it is necessary to take back all the armor in case of contingency.

Zu Zhao sighed: "My lord, the county Hyogo system was still promising decades ago, and now it has long existed in name only. In the counties of the Central Plains, the Hyogo was in disrepair, and most of the armor in the warehouse was damaged, and there was no new armor to fill. On the northern border of our country, there were thieves and Hu people from time to time, and the armor of the Hyogura in each county was exhausted early by the officers and soldiers who went out on each expedition, and there was nothing to help at all.

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, changed to a more serious tone and continued: "Today, there are countless people who carry their own swords, and all the gentry and doorman rangers have the custom of wearing swords and carrying knives. Hiding troops from the people is not something to be taboo about. What's more, as the late student said, although the armor is heavy, but diligent training is the first to have the effect of preventing problems before they happen.

Liu Taishou nodded slowly, and said slowly: "Understood... However, there is still a lot to consider in this matter, and after thinking twice, I will definitely give you an answer. Now that you are going to the county government to participate in the inspection, it is better to focus on this matter first, okay? "

Zu Zhao didn't have much hope, anyway, his purpose was to say hello to Liu Taishou first, and one day Liu Taishou would know the stakes. He bowed respectfully and responded: "It should be so, the right is the time to make it late." "

Retired from the public hall, accompanied by the officials of the county government. The officials first took Zu Zhao and his party to an official post in the city to stay, and the county government was responsible for all the food and lodging during the inspection period. In the afternoon, you can be led by the officials to walk around the county, and before the evening, you have to rush back to the Taishou Mansion to participate in the dinner of the Taishou Mansion.

Tonight's dinner is just an ordinary banquet, mainly to facilitate the acquaintance of righteous people from all over the world. Generally speaking, the number of square scholars selected for inspection is not fixed every year, and the admission is based on the actual vacancies. Even if the county government can't check it, you can still serve in the county government after returning to the county. However, there are quite vacancies in the county government this year, so those who can keep people serving in the county government will be colleagues in the future, and therefore there will be the traditional Xi of holding banquets one after another.

However, although the Taishou dinner is not considered a formal evaluation, the attendees are all county officials and local elites, and every move during the banquet will still leave an impression on everyone.

Before evening, Zu Zhao still made a little preparation, changed into clean clothes, and dressed neatly.

The dinner was held in a hall in the north courtyard of the Taishou Mansion, which had been specially arranged since the day before yesterday, and although there was no luxury to speak of, all kinds of tables and seats were neatly arranged, and the mats were divided into different colors according to the different seats; There are incense incense inside and outside from time to time, showing the dignity and luxury of the Taishou Mansion, and there is a unique style of a scholar gathering.

After receiving the notice from the official post, Zu Zhao set off to Taishou Mansion. Before the banquet officially began, he was taken to a small hall in the north courtyard to wait for a while, he arrived quite early, and after waiting in the small hall for a while, the servants of the Taishou Mansion soon attracted two more guests. The two guests, both young men in their early twenties, were the same people who had been recommended by other counties this year.

The county man who came with the second guest specially introduced to Zu Zhao: "Zu Gongzi, you are new today, these two are the righteous people of Wuzhong and Guangcheng counties who have arrived in the county government yesterday. This is Li Xin, whose name is Xianyan, and he is a righteous man who was elected by Guangcheng County to enter the brave and Founder Branch at this age.

Zu Zhao glanced at Li Xin, and saw that the other party was more than seven feet tall, half a head taller than himself, with a strong and well-proportioned figure, cheeks like a slash, and eyebrows like a sword, at a glance he was a righteous person. It's just that a coarse cloth coat is too simple, and there are several patches on each sleeve, which shows that the family is very poor. It is almost difficult for a poor family to raise a man with the strength of Kong Wu, and strength also means a large amount of food, a strong man like Li Xin, who is tall and strong, has at least three meals a day, and three meals require four or five people's meals.

Therefore, this made him feel very surprised, and he couldn't help but guess that either this Li Xin was in the middle of the family recently, or he was a real natural miracle person.

Li Xin was also refreshed, smiled and hugged his fist to Zu Zhao and saluted: "I heard the name of Zu Gongzi earlier, and I was very pleased to see him today. Fortunately, I will be glad to meet you!

Zu Zhao politely returned the salute and said: "Brother Li is serious, and he is ashamed."

Jun Cheng turned to another person who was neither tall nor short, but had a very good figure, and introduced: "This is Tian Kai, the righteous man of Wuzhong County, whose name is Zihui." It is also a subject of brave and square.

Zu Zhao moved his brows slightly, in his opinion, this young man named Tian Kai should be the oldest of the three, the other party has not been shocked from beginning to end, neither without any flattery nor any ease, just let go of the Buddha can not have any interest in the things around him, and it seems that he is tepid on the surface, and there is still a little bit of contempt for others in the inside.

The reason why he paid great attention to this person was not because the other party was not enthusiastic, but because he was likely to be Tian Kai, the general under Gongsun Zhan in the future. After Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao broke up, he sent Tian Kai and Yuan Shao to attack, and the two sides fought for two years with large armies, but they were not divided between the top and bottom, which shows that Tian Kai still has some ability.

Tian Kai just gestured to Zu Zhao slightly, and didn't say a word from beginning to end.

Zu Zhao was still able to maintain etiquette, bowed his hand in a proper manner, and said, "Fortunately." "

[Tian Kai (?) -199), a subordinate of Gongsun Zhan, Qingzhou Thorn History. Tao Qian was attacked by Cao Cao, and Kai led Liu Bei to rescue.

Later, Yuan Shao's son Yuan Tan went to Qingzhou, Tian Kai was defeated in the battle with Yuan Tan, fled to Youzhou, and was later killed in the Battle of Yijing. 】
