Han Dao world

Chapter 485
Mrs. Tang and Xun Yun looked at each other, only feeling that God was playing tricks on people.

I'm really worried about what's coming.Xun Yu didn't want Xun Wenqian to give birth to the prince the most, but Xun Wenqian gave birth to the prince, and even Hua Tuo, the genius doctor, was mistaken.

If this is not providence, what is providence?

"You don't have to worry, the Son of Heaven makes his own decision." Mrs. Tang calmed down first, and persuaded in a harmonious voice: "Speaking carefully, this is inevitable. Even if this time the baby is an imperial daughter, how can you know that the next time you will give birth to an imperial daughter? The matter has come to this, it is better to face it calmly.”

Xun Yu turned to look at Mrs. Tang, and smiled helplessly.

He agrees with Madam Tang.Because the emperor was young, the empress Fushou, the nobles Song Du, and Dong Wan were not of childbearing age, and among the women around the emperor, only Xun Wenqian was suitable for childbearing.Even if the first child got his wish and gave birth to a daughter, who can guarantee that the second child will still be a daughter?

Therefore, it is almost inevitable that Xun Wenqian gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor.

Perhaps, the emperor also expected this possibility, so he was obviously very calm.

Xun Yu picked up the emperor's edict and read it again, savoring the meaning between the lines carefully, only seeing a trace of joy, but not any worry.

But he couldn't believe his feelings.

He thought about it, and decided to go back and discuss it with Liu Ba.The only person who can give him advice right now is Liu Ba.

"Within three days, I will send the contribution to the city," Madam Tang said.

Xun Yu nodded and hurried out.Xun Yun didn't even have time to say goodbye to Mrs. Tang, he trotted all the way out the door with Xun Yu, got on his horse, and galloped away.

"Changqian, it's okay for you to escort the queen." Xun Yu said suddenly.

Xun Yun froze for a moment, then nodded. "Here."

Back in Anyi, Xun Yu went straight to Anyi County Court.As soon as he entered the door, he saw Liu Bagao sitting in the hall, scolding the officials.

"The number of mulberry fields is only more than half of the plan. What do you do to persuade the farmers? Don't talk about the lack of labor, so that you can recruit troops to garrison the fields, and explain clearly the commission first." Liu Ba said, and put a The stack of documents fell in front of the miser who persuaded farmers. "I've already checked, and the commission you give is only half of the rated price, and the remaining half is swallowed by you."

The farmer was advised to kneel on the ground, trembling.

"Don't say I won't give you a chance." Seeing Xun Yu and his son come in, Liu Ba raised his hand to signal to wait. "I'll give you five days to spit out the money I swallowed. If you can complete the task before the new year, I will spare your life, otherwise your whole family will go to the funeral on the first day of the new year. Get lost!"

The miser who persuaded the peasants kowtowed as if he was being amnesty, and walked away scrambling.When he was going down the hall, he almost knocked Xun Yu down.

Liu Ba looked around. "Who else wants to report? Before reporting, first think about whether those reasons can convince yourself. If not, go back and think about it, and complete the task first."

"Here." All the officials agreed in unison, and filed down the hall.When they passed by Xun Yu, they saluted one by one, but no one dared to stop.

Xun Yu frowned, watching the officials from Anyi County go out, and then stepped up to the hall.

"Zichu, have you always been so overbearing in governing?"

Liu Ba stood up to meet him, and laughed. "How many of these people do you know?"

Xun Yu thought about it carefully, but he didn't seem to know each other. "Have you changed?"

"Most of them have been changed. These people are all selected from the field soldiers. They are proficient in writing and ink, and are familiar with official affairs, but they have a strong military spirit. If you talk to them well, they will not take it seriously. Only murderous ones will work."

"Soldiers in the field?" Xun Yu was even more surprised.

Many field soldiers were placed around Anyi, which played a key role in the stability of Anyi.But he didn't know that Liu Ba selected officials from the field soldiers. After all, most of the field soldiers were illiterate and could not undertake official duties at all.

Most of the officials in the prefect's mansion and the county court came from several families. In essence, the number of people who could read and write was limited, so they could only be selected from those big families, and there were no more choices.

"There are talented soldiers in the field." Liu Ba smiled proudly. "Many of these soldiers who have experienced many battles are smart people, but they didn't have the opportunity to study before. Nowadays, enlightenment is highly praised by the generals, and the generals are the most active in responding. There are many people who are proficient in literature and ink among the soldiers in the field. If one does not do well, you can change to another at any time One. Unlike those children from rich families who have family support behind them, even if they make mistakes, they cannot be easily punished."

Seeing Liu Ba's beaming eyebrows, Xun Yu couldn't laugh or cry.

He suddenly remembered one thing, the emperor had a handwritten letter before, mentioning one thing, intending to implement an examination system in the army to replace the recommendation system, and do everything possible to recruit talents.At that time, I felt that the emperor's move was a bit radical, but now it seems that the emperor had already made such preparations, and the promotion of enlightenment in the army was a foreshadowing.

After two or three years of enlightenment, it is easy to select hundreds of officials who are proficient in writing and ink among the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the field.When there are more people available, there will be more room for choice. There is no need to be controlled by others, and you can no longer be controlled by others.

"Zi Chu, you're quick to respond." Xun Yu half-truthfully praised.

Liu Baneng found that there were a large number of available talents in the Tuntian soldiers, which was naturally closely related to his contact with the Tuntian soldiers.In fact, Liu Ba used to dislike those generals from humble backgrounds, not to mention taking the initiative to make friends with others, even if they came to visit him, they might not be willing to meet them.Now seeing that there are available people in the field soldiers who can help him get rid of the constraints of the Hedong clan, he took the initiative.The speed of turning around is astonishing.

"Gentlemen and leopards change, but the only way is to follow." Liu Ba disagrees. "It's rare for Dayin to come to the door, so he didn't come to make fun of me, did he?"

Xun Yu nodded calmly. "I want to hear your opinion on something."

Liu Ba understood, and waved his hand to signal his followers to retreat, and led Xun Yu to the study beside him, where he served tea.

Xun Yu took out the edict he had just received, put it on the case, and pushed it in front of Liu Ba.Liu Ba took a look, his eyes flashed, and he suddenly smiled. "Your birth is a prince?"

Xun Yu smiled wryly. "Why?"

Liu Ba didn't accept the edict, picked up his teacup, and took a shallow sip. "Are you worried that Zhang Xi's generation will not be willing to give up, and wants to push your father and daughter to the top, so as to make eyes for the people of Kanto?"

Xun Yu nodded and sighed.

"It's indeed a little troublesome, but it's just troublesome." Liu Ba persuaded: "Da Yin, whether to push or not is their business. Whether to approve it is the emperor's business. Even if the emperor agrees, you don't have to accept it." Well. Of course, I don't approve of your refusal."

"Huh?" Xun Yu looked at Liu Ba puzzled.

"The emperor values ​​you and entrusts you with the important task of revitalizing the king's way. This is something that everyone can see. Even if the nobleman does not give birth to the emperor's eldest son, you will be a minister in the future. This is the emperor's trust in you, and it has nothing to do with Xungui , and has nothing to do with the eldest son of the emperor."

"But the disaster of foreign relatives..."

Liu Ba interrupted Xun Yu unceremoniously. "Can you command and cool the elite?"

Xun Yu's eyes flickered, but he hesitated to speak.

Liu Ba smiled. "For relatives who don't hold military power, even if they are threatening, they are limited. If the emperor doesn't even have this confidence, how can he talk about Zhongxing? Dayin, as long as you don't seek military power, you don't have to worry about the emperor's suspicion."

"But Gongda..."

"That's the real hidden danger." Liu Ba sighed.
