Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 544 Be friendly with Chen

In the previous meeting, Murong Xin, the Shanyu of the Murong Clan and the head of the clan, mentioned that He Jing brought good news, which reassured everyone present and gave them confidence amidst their worries.

But in fact, He Jing's return this time happened to be on the way to the meeting. Murong Xin and He Jing have not clicked to communicate directly, and it is impossible to know what news he brought. The so-called good news is basically stability. popular.

Only now, when the representatives of other tribes have retreated and only his confidants are left, can the leader of Murong Xianbei sit down and listen to He Jing's account of what he saw and heard in Daijun.

"I heard from Kui'er that he went to Daijun with you, and then left early to go to Jixian to meet Wang Jun, while you stayed in Daijun to observe. With your temperament, if Daijun did not exist, it would be enough to let you I’m afraid I’ll be back long ago because of my stay.”

When Murong Xuan spoke, he stared into He Jing's eyes. The Murong leader looked calm, but there was a faint coercion that continued to emanate along with his words.

He Jing stood up from his seat, bowed respectfully, then lowered his head slightly, confirming his guess: "Yes, I gained a lot from the trip to Daijun, and if it hadn't been for the Governor Chen personally seeing him off, I'm afraid I I will continue to stay there, so I may miss Shanyu’s big event.”

"You won't miss it," Murong Xin waved his hand and smiled, "You are an important figure in my Murong tribe. Many things in the past were planned by you. We are going to go to war with other tribes, so why don't we miss you? Moreover, not only my Murong Department knows your abilities, but also several other departments are also familiar with you. If you are really left out, Yuwen and Duan will definitely have bad intentions, so I have sent people there a long time ago. , I will give you a notice, and I will pick you up at the same time, but looking at the situation now, it may be that you came first before the people arrived, and let them rush to nothing."

First, he used words of praise to win over him, and then he followed up with Murong Shan Yucai and said: "From your point of view, the average Central Plains county governor or governor is probably hard to look at. Why do you miss Daijun? Then? I have been to Daijun a few years ago, and not long ago I visited Guangning County, which is very close to Daijun. Although there are many merchants, it is still a barren land on the frontier of the Central Plains. Compared with Dajidu, There is something lacking.”

"Because of this, you can see the ability of a politician," He Jing's attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, "The Great Thorn City prospered because of Shanyu. It was originally a nearly barren place, but now it is the most prosperous among the tribes. That’s performance.”

Murong Xuan's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes showed relief.

He Jing then changed the topic to Daijun——

"Chen Zhi, the governor of Daijun, is a true wise man with abilities that are incomparable to ordinary people."

"This ability does not mean how talented he is. The name of his talent has long been spread all over the country. Almost everyone knows about it. Now he even has a comprehensive book, attracting people from the capital of the Han Dynasty. The people of Luoyang are so arrogant, and there are many aristocratic families dominating the world, but these aristocratic families have sent enough members of their families to Daijun, just to get a copy of the Tongdian and take it back to observe, not to mention there are many Famous people from the Central Plains traveled thousands of miles to come here in person."

"But what I want to talk about today is not the talent of this prefect, nor the canon that will surely shock the world, but his ability to govern the people. I also want to mention another book of his. As far as I know , his book is called "Essential Techniques for Elevating the People."

He Jing's words reached the ears of Murong Xian, Murong Huang and others one by one, making them confused, because what they needed He Jing to answer was actually about war allies, and what they wanted to know was Chen Are Zhizhi ready for war and will he join forces with them?

In the midst of doubts, it was Murong Huang who spoke first and asked: "Sir, you have extraordinary vision. Since you pay attention to this book "Essential Art of Qi Min", is it because this number can solve the current crisis of my Murong tribe? Could it be that this is a military strategist? Book? I also heard that Chen Taishou also had opinions on military strategists. Could it be that he recorded the methods of military training? However, just hearing this name, it seems that there is a discrepancy. It is named after the people, and it has something to do with military strategists. How many contacts?”

His question was also to excuse He Jing and lighten the atmosphere. After all, the room full of people sitting here did not want to hear He Jing introduce Chen Zhi's experience in governing the people.

"The young general is right," He Jing also understood what Murong Huang meant and said with a smile: "This book is indeed not a military book, and the reason why I recommend this book is not because it can change the current situation of our Murong Department. Shanyu has made it very clear where the root of the situation, the situation at hand, is. In fact, it stems from a struggle for interests. This cannot be reversed by a book, but the reason why I mentioned this book is Because this book really opened my eyes. There are many farming methods and farming techniques in it that can be applied even if you bring them to Great Thorn City!"

"Oh? So powerful? It must be extraordinary for you to care so much and want to say it at this time." Although he was more concerned about the affairs of the Bing family, Murong Xin, as the leader of the tribe, still instinctively The reason why they care about this farming method is very simple. After a long period of evolution, their tribe has been in a complex state of survival. They have been involved in fishing, hunting, and nomadic herding. Since Murong established the city, there has also been farming around the Great Thorn City. .

The climate and landforms at that time were different from those of later generations. Although the farming area began to shrink southward during the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was still a lot of land suitable for farming in the northern areas, even outside the Great Wall and the Pass, and some places could be called fertile soil. , very suitable for farming, and it is also one of the important reasons for these tribes outside the Central Plains to choose the place to establish their city.

He Jing nodded and said: "Yes, my subordinates have actually recorded some, and they have been sorted out by others. After the sorting is completed, they will be presented. In fact, although Taishou Chen's "Qi Min Ya Shu" is exquisite, it is not the same as "Si. Compared with "The Book of Sheng" and other farm books, there are many similarities. What I really care about is the farming tools and methods of farming machinery. According to the descriptions, as long as they are used properly, they can be used in unstable and cold climates. Dry places can also be used for farming." These words finally made Murong Xin's expression change, and everyone else also understood.

Isn't this a place with an unstable climate and cold and dry climate like Great Thorn City?

Moreover, the climate here is not only unstable, but also tends to become colder and colder. Although the land is fertile, if you are not careful, the harvest will be poor or less, and even in bad years, it is not uncommon to have no harvest.

Before this, Murong had to deal with the most troublesome aspect of governing his people, but now it has given way to war preparations.

However, after hearing He Jing's comments, Murong Xuan still attached great importance to it, and immediately nodded and said: "When the book you mentioned is compiled, send it to me immediately so that I can review it. If it can really be effective, wait Once we get through this difficulty, we can implement the law in accordance with the law. When the time comes, we have defeated the enemy, our strength has greatly increased, and with this method and endless food and grass, it will really be time to rise!"

The war hadn't started yet, but he talked about how it would be after the war. His words were full of confidence.

"However, what I summarized is not the original version of the book." He Jing added at this time, "No one has seen the original version of the book yet, because it is said that Taishou Chen has not actually finished writing it. In addition, he had to be distracted by the Luoyang people and the people from the south who came to ask for the ton. Therefore, it was slow to enter the mirror. I only collected a few scraps and combined them together. But even so, under the guidance of these trivial words, The farmland and farmers in Daijun are extremely busy, and there may be a bumper harvest next year! After this bumper harvest, the money and food will increase. With Chen Taishou’s ambition, of course he will have strong soldiers and horses, and become a powerful force! Even if he is not as good as Wang Jun, he will not be allowed to do so. He was underestimated, not to mention that his power has now grown! It is enough to contain Wang Jun!"

After going around in a circle and praising Chen Zhi, when everyone else was a little impatient and wanted to urge Murong Xuan to get down to business, He Jing's words finally touched the real core.

"How do you say this?" Murong Xin sat up straight and stared at He Jing.

"Just before I returned, Governor Chen had already taken over the power of Daijun. Then there was news that he had forced the aristocratic families to bow their heads and asked all Daijun aristocratic families to hand over their own martial arts and make unified plans. So many people When Wu Ding gathered together, they had an amazing force. As a soldier, Wu Ding's logistics and equipment were mobilized by the family and the government. It may not be enough to attack north, but it is more than enough for defense, and with such a The troops and horses are in the west of Youzhou. Even if Wang Jun doesn't think about it, he won't be able to send troops with peace of mind, so he must make some arrangements."

"What else happened? How long ago did Chen Zhi unite Dai County, force the aristocratic families to bow their heads, and gain military power?" When Murong Xin was surprised, he looked at his son Murong Huang, because not long ago, this person When Chen Zhi came back from Jixian, he talked about Wang Jun's malicious intentions and mentioned his trip to Daijun. There was inevitably some regret and disappointment in his words. He felt that although Chen Zhi was famous, he could not help the military affairs. From Murong Department.

"At that time, my son didn't stay for long after all." Murong Hao knew what his father was thinking, and hurriedly expressed his opinion.

Murong Xin waved his hand and said: "Let's not talk about this for now. According to what you said, Governor Chen can be an ally? A reinforcement?"

"No, no," He Jing shook his head, "He currently only has the ability to protect himself and has no ability to send troops. When he talked to me, although he expected the war in Northern Xinjiang, he also stated that he had no intention of forming an alliance with us. "

Murong Xuan narrowed his eyes, thoughts racing in his mind.

"But Shan Yu doesn't have to be disappointed. With Chen Zhi's soldiers and horses included, even if there is no alliance, as long as his soldiers and horses are there, there will be an alliance effect, which is enough to contain an army, and there may not be any possibility of alliance in the future. ! Therefore, you should be friendly with Chen!"

He Jing smiled slightly, seeing that everyone was paying attention, and grasping the rhythm of the proceedings, he continued to analyze and explain his opinions.

These people did not know that every scene in this hall was recorded by the horse-shaped origami in the corner.
