Wei and Jin Cooks

  Chapter 1119 Mind floating

   "Chu Zhong didn't come back on New Year's Eve."

  As soon as these words came out, everyone was quiet, and couldn't help feeling worried.

  Chu Zhong is Wang Dun's name. Most of the troops in Langya King's hands are controlled by him, and he is Wang Dao's brother. If Langya King is not at peace with these two brothers, how can Jiangnan and Jiangdong live in peace?

After being quiet for a long time, someone whispered: "I heard that Zhao Hanzhang gave preferential treatment to the gentry returning from the north, but if he has talent and virtue, he would personally invite him to the court. She also gives preferential treatment to scholars who are not willing to be a handsome and decent gentleman, and the rewards of land and houses are secondary, and the most important thing is that she will also pay for the printing of poetry and anthology, regardless of faction."

   "What do you mean by whatever faction?"

   "No matter which school of Confucianism you belong to, as long as there is no distorted meaning in what you write, she will print it. Except for Confucianism, Legalism, Military School, Farm School, Mohism, etc., she will print books for free."

  It costs money to print a book. At present, most people need to pay a large sum of money to the bookstore to print the book, and the book may not be able to be placed in the bookstore after it is printed.

  Before they left Beidi, there were very few bookstores. There might be bookstores in a few counties in a state, but most of them sold the Four Treasures of the Study, and few sold books.

  Many books are not circulated in bookstores, and most of them are collected by the nobles themselves.

  They like to collect the books left by the sages, and they are stingy to share with others, but they like to write a book that can be widely circulated. It is best for everyone in the world to have one, so that everyone can hear their names.

  So, printing books for free and disseminating their ideas and talents is really exciting.

   Several people's eyes overlapped, but no one said the words "Then let's go back".

  They fled from the north to the south, and suffered great losses on the way. They also paid a lot to gain a firm foothold in the south of the Yangtze River.

  Even the Wang clan, protected by the army of King Langya and Wang Dun, suffered many casualties on the road, and the number of people displaced by the clan is now unclear, let alone their clans?

  They can't afford a big migration.

  But it doesn't mean they don't do anything.

After returning from the restaurant, they found a few young men with strong abilities but rarely appeared in front of people, and asked them to take them back to the Central Plains, "If you can gain a firm foothold in the Central Plains, then the clan can slowly move back. "

   "Then whose relationship do you want to enter the court?"

A patriarch said: "Our family has a relationship with the Zhao family. I will write a book. You can take it to Zhao Hanzhang. You don't need to ask her to let you into an official. As long as you show your face in front of her, you are talented and she will use you. .”

  A patriarch said: "Our family has a relationship with the Zhao family by marriage, but the relationship is far away, and we have not contacted for a long time. If we are related to the Zhao family, it is better to go to the recruitment examination. You should go to Luoyang to participate in the recruitment examination."

  A patriarch said: "You bring more money, and the Beidi clan will not be able to help you when you return. Everything depends on you. However, I heard that the seventh grandpa of the Zhao family loves to have fun, so you may give it a try."

  These three families, one is the Hongnong Yang family, the other is the Fanyang Lu family, and the other is the Chenjun Yuan family. The children of the three families decided to go together.

  Of course, it cannot be said that they returned to the Northland, otherwise, they might be taken down before leaving the city, and the family would be targeted by King Langya for this.

  So they thought of a good excuse, the summer is bright and the harvest is good, it is a good time to go out and play, so they want to travel together.

  But some things can be hidden from the superiors, but it is difficult to hide the people who live on the same ladder or the next ladder.

   Besides, there is still Yuan Li, a troublemaker in Jiangnan.

   Almost as soon as he found out the news, he had the choice to pass on the news.

Xie Kun, who was the governor of Jiangzhou at the time, heard some specious news, but he was a smart person with a heart, and after a little thought, he understood that those big nobles wanted to find another way out, or in other words, after leaving a way for themselves road.

   After meditating all night, Xie Kun went out overnight to find his brother Xie Yan.

  Xie Yan was very surprised, "Brother came here late at night, what happened?"

   "I heard that Yang's and Lu's and Yuan's children will go on a trip in a few days. There are many followers. You might as well go together."

   Xie Yan laughed, "I'm much older than them, and I don't usually play together, what should I do?"

  He came to this point and frowned slightly, "Aren't they traveling?"

  Xie Kun nodded and said, "They want to return north."

   Xie Yan was surprised, and then fell silent.

  Xie Kun said: "In the current situation, unless Zhao Hanzhang is as proud and self-satisfied as the previous princes and generals, and self-destroys the foundation, otherwise, it will be a matter of time before the north to south is unified."

   "Second brother, we need to make plans early."

  Xie Yan turned around and sat on the mat, turned his head aside and said, "Brother, don't say any more, I won't leave. I am joining the army of the king, and the king has given me the grace to know him."

   "You can seek other ways to repay the kindness of knowing you. You are the son of Xie, and you have the responsibility to revitalize the family; you read the books of sages and sages, and you should have the task of helping the country. You can't ignore other responsibilities just to repay the kindness of knowing you."

   Xie Yan opened his mouth, but was speechless for a while.

Xie Kun stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Young Ru, I know that you have a deep relationship with the King, so you can see the current situation better. The King can gain a firm foothold in Jianye, all relying on Director Wang to guide him." mediation."

   "If there is no Wang Dao, how can the gentry in Jiangdong and Jiangnan recognize him? If there is no Wang Dao, how can Wang Dun bring Qingzhou and Xuzhou troops south to protect him? But in just one year, the king and Wang Dao have a lot of quarrels..."

   "That's because the Wang family is too domineering. If the king wants to appoint an official, he has to look at Director Wang's face, and he has almost no place to stand by the Wang family."

"But the people recommended by Director Wang are all available people, and their ability is still higher than the talents selected by the king," Xie Kun said: "He can neither appoint people on merit, nor has the prestige to appoint others. In Jiangdong, the gentry have not all returned their hearts, and the court has great power. When he was on the sidelines, he fought against Wang Dao Wang Dun, how far do you think he can go?"

   Xie Yan opened his mouth to argue, but he didn't know how to argue.

  Xie Kun said: "You know that he must fall into the deep pit, but you can't persuade him. Are you going to jump down with him just to repay the kindness of your knowledge?"

   "Why don't you find another way out and strengthen yourself?" Xie Kun said: "In the future, when he is falling into a pit, you can reach out and give him a hand. Even if you can't save his life, you should save his blood."

   Xie Yan fell silent, and asked after a while: "Will Zhao Hanzhang agree?"

"How do you know if you don't try?" Xie Kun said: "Judging from her actions over the years, she is very trustworthy once she employs people, and she is not stingy with power. If she can really unify the north and the south, but leave an extra lineage of the Jin Dynasty, Nothing is impossible."
