Master Kong Zhongni

Chapter 192 Tu Qiu Liangzheng (4K)

Early this morning, Zai Yu held an enlarged high-level meeting of Tu Qiuyi.

Calling it an enlarged meeting is actually putting money on one's own face.

Because the participants of this meeting are only those few people.

However, although there are not many people, they are all the essence, gathering the top leaders of Tuqiu politics, law, army, education, and business.

In detail, they are the four heavenly kings of Tuqiu: Ran Qiu, the governor of Yi, Sima Shen of the town, Kou Gaochai of the town, Kong Li of the town of Yi, plus Zigong, the representative of the business community.

As for why Zigong is qualified to participate in the high-level meeting of Tuqiu City, it is naturally because he has "joined the ranks" and became a businessman appointed by Zai Yu to use Tuqiu.

Zai Yu has repeatedly expressed in public the argument that "Zigong is my brother, as long as there is me, there will be one day with him".

And because of Tuqiu's policy strategy of concentrating on the development of the handicraft industry, the power in Zigong's hands was even higher than that of Shen Sui, Gao Chai and others, and was on par with Yizai Ranqiu.

Although Zigong never officially acknowledged that he served Zaiyu, the doctor of Tuqiu, the people of Tuqiu seemed to regard him as Zai's housekeeper.

Some people even speculated that Zaiyu never appointed a housekeeper, is it just to reserve this position for Zigong?
But for this kind of speculation, Jae Yu can only say that you are really thinking too much.

The reason why he didn't appoint a housekeeper was simply because his fief was too small.

There is only one tuqiu under his command, so it is really unnecessary to have a magistrate and a house magistrate.

But even if he plans to appoint a housekeeper in the future, there is a high probability that Ran Qiu will be on top.

Although Ran Qiu looks indifferent and has a cowardly personality, is the first place in the Confucian political affairs department a waste of his reputation?

In another timeline, this kid has been Ji's housekeeper for decades, which is enough to show his ability to govern.

As for Zigong, this kid's skill points are mainly added to business and talking.

It's not impossible for him to govern the country, and he even took photos in Lu and Wei successively.

But this kid speaks freely, he likes to publicize others' strengths, and he doesn't hide others' faults, so he is easily hated by others, and he hasn't worked in Lu and Wei for long.

And when Zaiyu read "Historical Records", he saw that Zi Gong was said in it: Chang Xiang Lu Wei, his family has a lot of money.

Taken alone, these two sentences are fine.

But together, it made Zaiyu suspicious.

Xiangluwei is Xiangluwei, followed by the sentence "Family is rich, what does it mean?"
Is this kid corrupt?

Therefore, instead of letting Zigong accept the test of unhealthy atmosphere, it is better to let him work hard to get rich with his own hands.

Besides, Zigong himself is quite satisfied with his current job.

He is now a businessman on the surface, but secretly the No. [-] figure in Tuqiu's intelligence system.

With the continuous development of Tuqiu industry, there are more and more business trips affiliated to Tuqiu, and their scope of activities is becoming wider and wider.

While these people went to various places to do business, they also gradually established an intelligence network exclusively for Tuqiu under Zaiyu's instruction.

The information brought back by these business travelers is even more worth pondering than the information obtained from Lu Guogong's office.

Because the information of the office and Sanhuan basically comes from the communication between the upper class, the advantage of this kind of information is that it is short and accurate, and the disadvantage is that it lacks information.

The news brought by the business travelers came from the lower levels. The disadvantage of this kind of information was that it was complicated and trivial, but its advantages were also unmatched by the upper-level sources.

That is, this type of information basically involves all aspects of the target country, from the basic necessities of ordinary people, to the rise and fall of commodity prices, to the local customs, and even this year's fashion, and the recent changes in women's makeup. I can find out.

The most noteworthy piece of information recently was brought back by the caravan of the defending country.

They said that Marquis Wei recently took a break from his busy schedule and went to the Taoyuan with Mi Zixia.

Mi Zixia saw that the peaches were white and red, delicious and attractive, so she picked the peaches and took a bite.

He probably thought the peaches were quite sweet, so he handed the half-eaten peaches to Marquis Wei, wanting to share them with him.

When Wei Hou saw it, he couldn't help being moved and said: You are so greedy and let me eat the delicious peaches, you really love me!

After Zaiyu heard about this incident, his first reaction was, are you guys fooling me with fake news?
So he went to the library overnight to check, but it was a good thing he didn't check. This search directly found an allusion about breaking a sleeve and dividing a peach.

By the way, I also briefly learned about the complicated love history between Wei Hou and Mi Zixia.

He used to only know that Mi Zixia is a world-renowned virtuous doctor, who has always enjoyed the virtuous name of "wisdom enough to govern a thousand chariots, trustworthy enough to keep it".

First, he was highly valued in the state of Jin, and he was granted the title of Dafu Wu. Back then, when his uncle Sun Ruo, Shangqing of the state of Lu, went to the state of Jin and was imprisoned, it was Mi Zixia who helped intercede before he was released.

After that, he went to Cheng Zhou with Zhao Yang and others to help the Zhou royal family put down the rebellion of the Prince Dynasty.

Later, he left the state of Jin and went to the state of Wei, where he was favored by the Marquis of Wei and appointed Doctor Qu Mou.

Zaiyu just thought that Mi Zixia was favored by Marquis Wei because of his virtuous ability.

But, I didn't expect it!
did not expect!
This old boy actually went through the back door and engaged in nepotism!
But what Jaeyu couldn't figure out was that Mi Zixia could make a living by his ability, why should he rely on his face?
For this reason, Zaiyu repeatedly confirmed the news to Zigong, the head of Tuqiu's intelligence and also a guard.

Zigong's answer was simple: the relationship between Mi Zixia and Marquis Wei should not be classified as a simple exchange of interests, it may be love, or fetters.

After hearing this, Zaiyu was greatly shocked, and immediately rewarded the caravan of the Weiguo who brought back this information.

And instructed them, in the future, for this kind of lace news, they must vigorously dig deep.

And Zigong protested against Zaiyu's behavior of increasing his workload.

Because the classification of these intelligences was done by him.

The huge and complicated information from all over the world has already annoyed him, but Jae Yu still wants to dig out worthless gossip. Isn't this nonsense?
Zi Gong blasted directly on the spot at this morning's meeting, speaking bluntly to Jae Yu.

"What's the use of collecting these useless information every day? Could it be that if you know the secret between Weihou and Mi Zixia, you can build Tuqiu well?"

Zaiyu said: "Zigong, this is not what you know. The sales of newspapers are all supported by these things!
Besides, after this kind of lace news becomes more, a bound volume can be published later. Think about it, how much can these things sell for? "

Upon hearing this, Zigong immediately bowed his head to Zaiyu to admit his mistake, and then immediately asked about the specific release time of the bound edition.

However, Zi Gong's doubts were suppressed, but Ran Qiu was not happy again.

He protested to Zaiyu and said: "Tuqiu's financial situation is already very difficult to maintain daily administrative expenses.

It is really overwhelmed to spend a large sum of money on information now!
If there is any valuable information, such as the rise and fall of commodity prices in various places, the money will be accepted.

But now even some trivial things have to be paid, isn't it too much? "

Zai Yu also had his own way of saying this: "Duke Huan of Qi wanted to ask for the help of a sage.

But after a year, no sage came to visit.

At this time, a countryman from Dongye came to see Duke Huan of Qi with a ninety-nine algorithm.

Duke Huan of Qi was overjoyed and said, "How can you be qualified to come to see me with something as simple as the ninety-nine algorithm?" '

The villagers replied: "I didn't come to see you just based on ninety-nine calculations. I heard that the king set up court officials to receive scholars. It has been a year and still no scholars have come."

The reason why scholars do not come is because the king is a wise and wise ruler of the world, and all the scholars in the world think that they are not as good as the king, so they dare not come.

As for the ninety-nine algorithm, it is indeed a meager and superficial algorithm skill, but if the king still pays attention to it, those more than ninety-nine algorithm skills will be presented to you. '

Mount Tai does not push away small earth and rocks, so it can become majestic and tall.

Jianghai does not reject small flowing water, so it can become a long river.

"Poetry" says: The ancestors had something to say, and they asked about it.

The ancients said that we should be taught to the woodcutter who mows the grass and collects firewood.

This means that the value of truth or information should not be judged by the value of it. Only by listening to opinions from many parties can we get a truly broad truth.

If you don't pay for small information, how can you get really valuable information?
This is the reason why I want to give rewards regardless of the value of the news! "

Ran Qiu burst into tears after hearing this, and he said: "My son, although what you said is correct, how do we fill the financial hole of Tuqiu?"

Zaiyu could also understand Ran Qiu's difficulties, so he immediately said, "One-year franchise of Tuqiu Ironware..."

Unexpectedly, before Zaiyu finished speaking, Zi Gong immediately emphasized the connection between Duanmu's industry and Tuqiu's development, and discussed with Zaiyu the possibility of further deepening cooperation.

In short: Duanmuci can add more money, when will he sign the oath agreement?

And after sorting out the progress of the intelligence work, it was Sima Shenzhi's work report.

During this period of time, Tuqiu's standing garrison has officially expanded from 50 to 300.

And because of the recent population growth in Tuqiu, the new rural people who joined Tuqiu filled the labor gap.

Therefore, these 300 people can conduct half-time military training.

The previously stocked weapons and equipment have also been assembled into their hands one after another. Although the armor rate of the newly recruited soldiers is less than one-third, but because of the existence of the carpenter's workshop, these people can at least equip everyone with a shield.

The main training subjects that Shen Shu has assigned to the soldiers recently are hunting in the mountains, collecting large animal skins, and collecting raw materials for making inlaid iron armor.

As for why inlaid armor was chosen instead of iron armor, it is also out of practical considerations.

Because although the defense of iron armor is high, this thing also requires high craftsmanship, and it is time-consuming, labor-intensive and labor-intensive to build.

Zai Yu had tested it before, among the men under his command, the only ones who could march in iron armor were the two fierce men, Shen Shu and Ji Sheng.

Others carried a full set of weapons and equipment and carried dozens of catties of armor and ran for three to five hundred meters before they were so tired that they rolled their eyes.

Therefore, instead of equipping iron armor, it is better to get some iron pieces and use them to make inlay armor for the cobbler.

In this way, it saves time and effort, and secondly, it does not delay the march.

After all, Jae Yu's men currently only have three chariots.

In other words, except for a few chariot soldiers, the others are all infantry red deer.

And Zaiyu didn't buy the chariot, not because he was stingy, but because he felt that the chariot was about to be retired.

Instead of spending a lot of money to build chariots, it is better to just buy some horses and get cavalry.

It's a pity that Qi State is about to overwhelm the border with soldiers, and there is not much time left for Zaiyu.

The state of Lu is not a good place to raise horses, and the real good horses still have to be imported from the Zhao family in the state of Jin.

Even if he bought the horse from the Zhao family, the training of the cavalry did not happen overnight. If it weren't for these various factors, Zaiyu's entire cavalry company would have come out.

After Shen Shu finished his report, Gao Chai and Kong Li's report will follow.

During this time, Gao Chai was mainly promoting Tuqiu's legislative work. He even made a special trip to Qufu in order to revise the law, to find his master and several senior brothers for advice on ancient allusions.

As the saying goes, hard work pays off, as a dwarf in reality and a giant in action, Gao Chai finally found the legislative basis for the jury.

This basis comes from the ancient sage kings Ge Tian and Wu Huai.

When Gao Chai presented this report to Zaiyu, Zaiyu was stunned.

Because these two holy kings are too ancient.

How old is it?

According to legend, Ge Tianshi was the ancestor of Taihao (Fuxi).

For Jae Yu, Tai Hao is early enough, after all, he was a character in 4000 BC.

Ge Tianshi was active 2000 years earlier than Taihao, and he was a figure who called the wind and rain around 6000 BC.

According to the saying passed down by Confucian scholars from generation to generation, Ge Tianshi's greatest achievement was the invention of "music and dance".

With such a simple activity, Ge Tianshi composed eight tunes, he is indeed a great musician.

The Wuhuai family is relatively younger than the Ge Tian family, who was active around 5000 BC.

Wu Huai did not have any particularly great achievements, that is, he did a little bit of work.

In short, this is the first recorded king who enshrined Zen in Mount Tai.

If there are any other achievements, it is to serve as the first emperor of the Fuxi clan.

Gao Chai moved out these two heavyweight guests, and the jury's legislative work was immediately unanimously approved by Tu Qiuyi's senior management.

After all, no one has the guts to challenge these two. These are the ancestors of their ancestors, and the three emperors and five emperors are all juniors in front of them.

No one dared to pick the thorns of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, let alone these two.

Gao Chai's work is progressing smoothly, and the new Yi Situ Kongli has experienced for the first time in his life what is meant by the warmth and coldness of human relationships.

Today's meeting, he was bound to attend.

As soon as Kong Li arrived in Tuqiu, he was told about the birth policy here.

After being horrified, Kong Li's first thought was to abandon his official position and run away.

But Zai Yu had already prepared for this.

Before he could run out of Tuqiu, he was caught by Shen Shun on the spot.

Kong Li still wanted to struggle, but when he saw his father's letter, the boy's eyes finally lost their light.

If the husband is over thirty and does not marry, he will be punished. This is good government.
