Chapter 996 Convince People With Virtue
Yang Biao asked Xing Yong to convey the emperor's entrustment.

Xing Yong was surprised. "The emperor really said that?"

Yang Biao smiled. "Do you not believe in me, or do you not believe in the emperor?"

Xing Yong quickly shook his hand. "How dare, how dare. I just feel that the Son of Heaven is very imposing, and I can't believe it for a while. Yang Gong, this is a great event for generations to come, and I'm afraid I can't accomplish it."

"Of course you can't do it alone." Yang Biao stroked his beard with burning eyes. "But you can come forward and invite famous scholars and scholars to discuss big plans, which can be regarded as contributing to the court. Learning should be done at the right time. The great man has a hero like the emperor, and once again revives, the Confucian sect also needs a figure like Dong Zhongshu to speak for the great man .”

Xing Yong was excited, but he still said modestly: "The bird has no head and cannot fly. Such a big event must be presided over by Yang Gong."

Yang Biao smiled slightly. "If I hadn't been living in Situ and couldn't get away, I wouldn't have given this opportunity to you. Even so, I couldn't stay out of it. You make arguments, and I will report to the emperor and choose good deeds to prove its effectiveness. Knowing and doing Unite to achieve the best."

Xing Yong nodded slightly, and then said: "After Lu Guo Kong Rong was a sage, he was knowledgeable and upright, just..."

Before Xing Yong finished speaking, he was interrupted by Yang Biao.

"He is too old to take on such a heavy responsibility. You young people should be brave enough to take on the heavy responsibility and live up to what you have learned in your life."

Seeing that Yang Biao's complexion was not good, Xing Yong was puzzled, but he didn't say anything.

-

The imperial edict issued by Liu Xie did not receive any response.

Kong Rong didn't come, and the ministers didn't respond, and the suggestion of rebuilding "Emperor Xiaohuan Ji" was collectively ignored, as if it didn't exist.

This incident is like a small stone thrown into a pond, causing a ripple, and then returning to calm, as if nothing happened.

The only change is that Kong Rong never showed up again, and no one knows where he went.

On the contrary, Liaodong is very lively.

According to the edict, Xun You implemented Dutian in Liaodong, and the progress was very smooth.

Most of the big families in Liaodong were killed by Gongsun Du before, and the rest became Xun You's captives because of their attachment to Gongsun Du, and were sentenced to exile overseas.The rest were ordinary people, who couldn't ask for Dutian, and cheered enthusiastically.

After learning that the Central Plains has not yet fully cultivated land, and even Jizhou has Bohai to implement moral government, most of the people chose to settle in Liaodong.

Although Liaodong is cold, the land is fertile.Even if it is only planted for a season, it is better to have food and clothing than to go back to the hometown and rely on others.

Many people hold a wait-and-see attitude and do not have much confidence in whether the emperor can implement Dutian in the Central Plains.They have never met the emperor, but they know the strength of the Central Plains family.

Liu Bei rested on the spot and wrote a letter to resign as the governor of Xuzhou.

Liu Xie worshiped Liu Bei as the general who conquered the East, awarded him the axe, and gave him the responsibility of the East.

Sun Ce led his troops back to Qingzhou to rest and wrote a letter requesting to see him.

Although Liu Xie was puzzled, he still agreed to Sun Ce's request and agreed to his trip.

After receiving the edict, Sun Ce set off early, made a detour, and stayed in Nanpi for one night.

-

Zhang Zhao walked into the post house with square steps.

The busy post officials all slowed down and saluted Zhang Zhao.

Zhang Zhao answered one by one, and sometimes stopped to ask a few words, without the slightest airs of the eunuch.

Even so, the post officials still looked respectful and did not dare to be slighted.

On the second floor of the main courtyard, Sun Ce leaned on the railing to watch, the third younger brother Sun Yi and the fourth younger Sun Kuang stood aside, and the younger sister Sun Shangxiang was not as tall as the railing, so she could only look down through the gap in the railing.

"Old Master." Sun Shangxiang muttered.

"Don't be presumptuous." Sun Kuang scolded seriously. "People should have three fears."

"I've only heard that people have three urgencies." Sun Shangxiang retorted, and before Sun Kuang could say anything else, she turned her neck and hid in the next room.

Sun Kuang smacked his lips, and said old-fashionedly: "If you don't learn etiquette, you won't be able to stand up. It's time for my little sister to learn to read, or else I don't know what troubles I will cause when I get to work."

Sun Ce and Sun Yi cast a glance at Sun Kuang at the same time, and laughed dumbfoundedly.

There was a sound of stairs, and Zhang Zhao had climbed the stairs.Sun Ce immediately put away his smile, hurried to the stairs, and greeted him with arms folded.

"Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Zhao looked up, didn't say anything, went upstairs, came to Sun Ce, shook his sleeves, tidied his clothes, and bowed his hands.

"Chen Zhao has met Marquis Wu."

"How dare, how dare." Sun Ce said repeatedly: "Mr. Zhang is now a minister of the emperor, and you and I are ministers in the same dynasty. We dare not establish diplomatic relations with the emperor and minister. If the Duke does not give up, Ce should be the son of the son."

Zhang Zhao nodded in satisfaction. "I haven't seen you for a year, and Junhou has become more and more calm. Congratulations."

After a few polite words, the two came to the main hall hand in hand.

Sun Ce's mother, Mrs. Wu, and his wife, Mrs. Xiao Wu, all came out to pay respects, and even Sun Ce's son and daughter came out to pay their respects. Only Sun Shangxiang hid in the room and did not come out.

After exchanging pleasantries, Mrs. Wu and the others retreated, leaving Sun Yi and Sun Kuang to wait on them.

Sun Ce first explained the purpose of his visit.

Liaodong is pacified, Liu Bei will continue to march to Sanhan, and he is going to go south.But the emperor promised that his warship hadn't moved yet, and the main reason for going to see him this time was for this matter.

Hearing that Zhang Zhao's implementation of moral government in Bohai was very effective, he came here specially to congratulate Zhang Zhao and ask for some advice on governance.

Zhang Zhao nodded slowly after listening. "Your Majesty has traveled all the way, what do you think of my folk customs in Bohai?"

Sun Ce said in an almost exaggerated tone: "Although Zhou is a small country, its virtues are great. The public conducts moral government, so that the world's scholars and bureaucrats know what they want, and their merits are immeasurable."

Zhang Zhao showed a contradictory smile, and said a few words modestly.

Sun Ce then said again: "I have something, I want to ask you about the arrangement."

"Your Majesty, please speak frankly."

"After I leave Bohai Sea, I'm afraid some pirates will come back. Is there a way to appease you?"

Zhang Zhao was startled. "Thanks to the majesty of the king, haven't the pirates been wiped out?"

"Most of them are like this, but there are still some stubborn bandits who refuse to bow their heads. They hide in the mountains by the sea, frightened by the might of our army, and dare not act rashly. When I move to the south of the Yangtze River, they are bound to be dispatched again to plunder along the coast. You still need some Just get ready."

Zhang Zhao nodded and pondered for a moment. "Thank you for reminding me, Junhou. I will arrange people to be vigilant. Although Bohai has limited household registration, but the will of the people is united and the hearts of the people are available. They will definitely be able to repel these pirates and keep everyone safe."

Sun Ce praised a few words, and took advantage of the opportunity to ask about the specific content of Zhang Zhao's policies.

From the time they met in Jiangdong, Sun Ce respected Zhang Zhao and treated him like a teacher and friend.He has always had an idea that if he can establish a country overseas, he should ask Zhang Zhao to be his prime minister.

Therefore, Zhang Zhao's governance in Bohai was to prepare for the future. Sun Ce was more concerned about whether the effect was good than the emperor, and asked very carefully.

The more he asked, the more his heart sank.

The folk customs in Bohai are indeed good, even postmen and pawns are polite, but there is one thing that cannot be ignored. As a county, Bohai has limited household registration, and the supply of soldiers, money and food it can provide is even more limited.

To put it bluntly, Bohai can't even support an army of [-] people.

Sun Ce couldn't help interrupting Zhang Zhao. "Mr. Zhang, there are more than [-] households in Bohai, nearly [-] people. Why is there so little money and food? These money and food cannot guarantee that thousands of people will fight."

Zhang Zhao asked back: "There is only one county in the district, and there is no need for foreign conquests. Why bother with tens of thousands of people? Even if there is a problem of pirates, three thousand people are enough to make peace. Monarchs, it is better to conquer people with strength than with virtue."
