Waves at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 11 Through the Adaptation Period

In Gongsunzhuangyuan, Huang County, Donglai County, Qingzhou, Chen Wentian will be like a straight man when his girlfriend is angry and cold in later generations, trembling and even breathing carefully
After returning from morning class on behalf of the goddess, Chen Wentian frowned when he saw that Lin Lin was still sitting on the stool without saying a word, as if her posture hadn't changed.
It was all because of yesterday. In fact, what he saw yesterday was also very shocking to him, but at least he read a lot of history and read a lot of novels before traveling, and he has a little understanding of ancient times and has some resistance.

Although the scene yesterday was bloody and brutal, I think of those massacre scenes and those heads being hauled by wooden carts.
But after calming down, I can understand that this era is not like this?In the original history, before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the population of the Han Dynasty was about 5000 million, but it was less than one million after three points returned to Jin Dynasty. It may be inaccurate, but it is enough to explain the problem. The so-called troubled times are worthless.
Looking at his bandaged left hand, he was very worried that Lin Lin would not leave any serious mental sequelae, right?

----

Yesterday, the Ouyang brothers led one hundred cavalry, three hundred infantry and more than one hundred Taiping believers to encircle and suppress Nanshan Village. In order to increase their "knowledge", Chen Wentian, Lin Lin and Tai Shici watched from a distance behind the team.

In fact, in his opinion, there is no need to mobilize the crowd like this. The big leaders in the village have already been captured and heard that they have surrendered, so why don't they just come over and recruit them?

Seeing that Ouyang Jun is still pretending to be in high spirits and arranging troops, he is also a little over the top.
As a result, hundreds of people stood in formation for a long time, and a group of Taiping Taoists in strange clothes escorted Qin Hu to the front of the village to shout out. Naturally, the village was in chaos. In the end, only the second leader of the village and a few people resisted a little. They were quickly killed by them, and then the arrest and compilation work began.

Seeing that Zhang Bao brought the Taiping disciples forward to take over the cottage and the captives, Chen Wen finally understood why Ouyang Jun went to war. Anyway, the final profit seemed to be the deal he gave to the Taiping sect, so it didn't matter if he killed more people. I just want to show my strength to deter Taoist Taiping, maybe I have other ideas, but pretending to be X is the most important thing.
Brother Ouyang left with the troops soon after, and agreed with Chen Wentian to meet up in Yizhou in January. Jiao learned about Qin Hu's two treasures, and there was one in the village, so they decided to come back and wait for everyone to leave before taking it out, so that they could get some start-up capital for starting a business in the future.
Although they knew that Qin Hu had returned to Longwei Mansion after seeing Qin Hu shouting in front of the formation, their hearts were already cold, but they still wanted to try their luck, in case Qin Hu pretended to surrender, in case
But just when they felt that there was nothing to see and they were looking forward to the lottery, a shocking scene happened.
After those Taiping believers took control of everyone, they began to separate the young and old from the old and young, and then half of the believers escorted the young and left the village, chanting the slogan "The sky is dead and the sky should stand." Brainwashing began, about [-] old and weak people in the village were gathered together and tied up with ropes by the remaining believers, and then they suddenly raised their knives and started killing.
For a moment, screams, cries, and curses were intertwined, and the whole cottage scene was bloody and chaotic, and the three of them were stunned. Unlike the shock of Chen Wentian and Tai Shici, Lin Lin was stunned for a while and then yelled loudly. To rush to stop.

The two of them woke up instantly when they heard the cry, and quickly grabbed Lin Lin, but Lin Lin still kept shouting. Chen Wentian had no choice but to throw her down, and hugged her desperately with his right hand, and tightly covered her waist with his left hand. Lin Lin bit his palm while struggling, and his hand and Lin Lin's mouth were dripping with blood for a while.
Fortunately, the scene was chaotic and noisy, and the Taiping believers who were going crazy didn't notice them. When all the old and weak fell to the ground, they rested for a while, checked and lit a fire.
There was no way, the three of them could only go back quietly when they saw this, and waited for a few days for the fire to subside before digging for treasure.
----

"Okay! It's meaningless for you to behave like this. This is ancient times, this is a troubled world, and people's lives are worthless in troubled times! Regarding those 'Guizhou heads', everyone in the family doesn't say anything on the surface, but treats them as slave property in their hearts. We think so much It’s useless! What needs to be done now is to think of ways to strengthen yourself as soon as possible to change all this, otherwise there will be more people like this in the future!” After thinking for a while, Chen Wentian grabbed Lin Lin’s shoulder with his right hand and shouted loudly road.

"Then will you help me?" Lin Lin's eyes regained some light, and she looked at Chen Wentian's bandaged hands and asked gently.

"I will always try my best to help you. Now go and eat something first, and then have a good sleep." Chen Wentian said as if ordering.

"You don't need to sleep. We chat while eating. After eating, we have to get back Qin Hu's hidden treasure. The other yellow scarf thief sent the correspondence between Cao Ke and Qin Hu. The evidence is convincing. Let's go to the county government to expose him. There should be some rewards, right?" Lin Lin suddenly kissed him on the cheek after speaking, then walked out with a sweet smile
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In Longwei Mansion of Yizhou, the sun shines through the window into a corner of the house, feeling the dazzling light, Ouyang Qi smiled slightly, closed the black ancient book with the big characters of Tianlong warning the world and stood up.

"Come here, go and invite Brother Bo, Manager Fan, and Uncle Yong, and tell me that I have something important to discuss, um, and Ling'er. In addition, inform Madam that you don't have to come here today, and I will go back to my room to rest later." Ouyang Qi lay down under the service of his servants for half a year, and starting today he was going to be a director again, so he called a meeting of the old officials in the mansion.

Yes, Ouyang Qi has been pretending to be sick, except that he did have a slight cold at the beginning, that is, a common cold. After coughing for a day, he had the idea of ​​pretending to be sick
This method was taught to him by his father, but at the same time, he also said that this method is also risky. It can test the loyalty of subordinates and dig out hidden and lurking opponents, but it is also easy for some weak-minded, utilitarian, Self-interested people misjudge the situation and make mistakes, resulting in serious damage to their own strength and the loss outweighs the gain.

What, since he is not absolutely loyal, why bother with pity, it's all cut off!Many second-year-old teenagers in later generations will have this idea, including Ouyang Long in the early days of time travel. After repeated losses and injuries, he came to his senses and told his son that the so-called doubting people and employing people without doubting them is just an ideal state.
Just like the big companies of later generations, it is quite normal for employees to change jobs. In order to reduce the loss of this problem, some companies continue to improve their salaries, some companies give dividends to employees, and some companies give employees who are in contact with the core. Many security measures, some companies obtain information in advance through industrial espionage
But not a single company said it didn't hire new employees because they weren't sure about their loyalty.

The reason is very simple, this is not a strategy game, no one can pull out the panel of his subordinates at any time to take a look, and those so-called observation skills are often unreliable
In the Han Dynasty, the superiors had even less choice. The most important reason was that knowledge was in the hands of a few people, and most of these people belonged to or at least attached to the family, and the goal of Longwei Mansion could not be achieved by the family. Complete, even in Ouyang Long's view, the aristocratic family is the main reason for the decline of the great man, and it must be eradicated
At first, Ouyang Long thought that as long as he could find and win over a group of wise, brave and loyal underprivileged soldiers, and then accumulate strength to gain fame, as time went by, the loyal generals recorded in later generations would be drawn one by one under his command, and this problem could be easily solved.

But the facts proved that he was wrong, especially after returning to Yizhou to start local development, he found that besides the lack of population and materials, what he lacked most were grassroots and middle-level intellectuals.

Due to the extremely low rate of knowledge popularization in the Han Dynasty, the high-ranking people could only rely on aristocratic families to fill the gaps in the management of local and grassroots personnel. As a result, the power of the aristocratic families was deeply rooted in the localities through marriage and other methods, and the selection of talents for filial piety was even more difficult. It encourages the grouping of family officials, and finally forms a huge political group that threatens the ruler, and often the vicious circle repeats itself.
Therefore, absorbing, cultivating, and accumulating all kinds of talents has always been one of the main tasks Ouyang Qi has done in the past few years in Yizhou, and it is also a matter that his father Ouyang Long emphasized. People went to the Han Dynasty to discover the intelligent and brave children of Qianshou from a poor family, and to get acquainted with some famous generals and advisers in advance, etc.
Although the number of talents is still insufficient, it can be regarded as a small amount of accumulation. Originally, Ouyang Qi planned to develop steadily according to the route he discussed with his father before his death. Screen and screen the talent pool in Fuchu
However, this route has now been broken under the advice of the sons and the acquiescence of several important ministers.

But in fact, Ouyang Qi had already expected it and planned to let it go. He thought he understood the three sons very well, especially the elder son Ouyang Jun. Just turn to the dark to observe the performance of all parties in the mansion, and do a screening. In addition, you can also exercise yourself as the heir at that time, which can not only beat his inflated mentality but also allow him to establish some prestige.
Although there would be a lot of risk in doing so, Ouyang Qi still made up his mind to implement it. This is actually not his style. However, due to minor illnesses, his physical function is not as good as before.
No one admires his father more than him, no one understands his father better than him, no one wants to fulfill his father's long-cherished wish more than him, this has become his lifelong dream, for this he can only Take a risk because time is running out
After a while, he got up and changed his clothes after being rewarded by the servants, and walked into the meeting hall with a smile under the support of the servants.

"This time I lay down a little longer, thank you all for taking care of the mansion." After exchanging pleasantries, Ouyang Qi got up and saluted again.

"Your Majesty must take good care of you. According to the scriptures, I have found Dr. Zhang, and he is on his way now. It should be beneficial to your health. Uncle Yong and General Bo are helping you with various government affairs in the mansion. This year is also a great one." Make progress, and when the prince recovers in the future, the legacy of the old prince will be fulfilled." Several people present also got up to return the gift, and after the others sat back in their chairs, Fan Shan, the Prime Minister of the General's Mansion, said.

Fan Shan, courtesy name Wenying, is the second son of Ouyang Long's sworn brother Fan Sheng. His position was bestowed by Ouyang Long himself. He belongs to the core dignitaries in the mansion, and of course he is also the most loyal to Ouyang's family.

"There's Lao Wenying, what's the current situation in the mansion?" Ouyang Qi was also looking forward to Zhang Zhongjing mentioned by his father, but he still asked with a very friendly smile at this time.

"Last month's autumn harvest has been successfully completed, and the output of various places has been steadily increasing. All the values ​​are being counted, and winter rice planting has been actively carried out. In addition, the National Canal in Taipei County Town is about to be completed. After that, more than 200 mu of fertile land will be added in Fuzhong; The profit of restaurants and shops has increased steadily, and more than ten new ones have been opened. However, some counties and counties in several prefectures in Shandong were affected by the flood, and it is expected that there will be a slight decline in the next few months. The Liaodong base has newly opened an iron mine, and the business routes with the northern tribes such as Goguryeo and Fuyu have been established. The Far East base has been planned to be rebuilt. The caravans of the Poison and the Western Regions have been formed and set off in a few days; the half-year-old assets of the various ministries in the government have a total profit of [-] billion yuan, which is the situation of various income and expenditure; in addition, General Bo of the Navy Department has discovered the Philippine Island and has opened Yizhou to "Zhuyazhou Airline" Fan Shan reported for a long time like a government work report, but all matters were well-known and extremely shrewd.

Hearing that the navy found out what his father said about Philippine Island, Ouyang Qi also looked at his younger brother with a little excitement: "Brother Bo, this is an unworldly achievement, but in your opinion, what is needed to occupy this island?"

"This trip is all clearly stated in the heavenly scriptures, and the soldiers must be united, so they dare not say their merits. The island of Philippines is densely forested, and some barbarians are extremely weak in combat power, but the land is extremely hot and difficult to travel, poisonous insects and beasts are everywhere, and there are many attached islands. If If you choose a location and only build a base in the long run, more than a thousand troops with a little money will suffice, but if you want to control all of them, you may be involved for a long time; It's too big to miss the rest of the government's plans." After Ouyang Bo slowly stood up and raised his hand to salute, he thought for a while and then said cautiously. He is Ouyang Qi's half-brother. Because of the influence of his mother, he loved sailing and traveling since he was a child, and later took over. The navy of Longwei Mansion is mainly responsible for ascertaining sea charts and establishing new routes.

"Bodi's previous strategy is very suitable for me. My father once said that the Philippine island is rich in gold. I have Lao Bodi to lead my troops to go there to capture barbarians, build camps, and explore gold mines. I will prepare all the necessary English and Chinese. If I can It will be a great achievement to carry the gold back next year."

"Decree!" Ouyang Bo and Fan Shan stood up and responded.

"Are you all worried about the general changes in the mansion? I know all about it, and it's all his brothers' arbitrariness, so I don't want to do anything with you." Ouyang Qi stared at Ouyang Ling with sharp eyes while talking.

"My child knows the crime, and I am willing to accept the punishment." Ouyang Ling quickly knelt down and confessed.

"This is the end of the matter. I've thought about it over and over again. Since there is a celestial warning, I will leave it to you. In this way, the preparations in the government will bother Uncle Yong and Wenying to make corrections. The matter of Liaodong and Shandong will be discussed in detail after Jun'er returns. Linger said first. Go to the south of the Yangtze River." Ouyang Qi resumed his previous expression and said, then got up and bowed to Ban Yong, this treatment is only for him, the only surviving elder in the mansion, who followed Ouyang Long in the Southern and Northern Wars. up.

Ban Yong also nodded politely. Apart from his outspoken character, he also has superb martial arts and military command ability. Therefore, he has been in charge of the majority of the Longwei Mansion's military force for many years. Although he is old, he is very strong.

"In this way, the child will report to his father and all the uncles, uncles, and brothers about the situation in various places in the south of the Yangtze River and the Sun family."

It wasn't until the evening that everyone left the conference hall one after another, and finally Ouyang Qi walked slowly to the door, looked at the red sunset and murmured: "Father, I have almost made up for the loopholes you left behind due to the discomfort of time travel. The goal, I will embark on the journey again, you who go back to the future know!"
