Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 777 Congratulations to the Lord, your name is worthy of the name

Chen Zhi couldn't help but laugh when he saw the unexpected look on Zhang Kang's face.

In fact, some people are aware of this concept now, but it is not very obvious. At most, they use ancient events to criticize the current situation. Even in later generations, there are few similar accusations. They just change the three ancient generations into imaginary ones. other countries.

But now, when Zhang Kang suddenly heard this statement, he would inevitably feel a little uncomfortable.

After thinking about it, Chen Zhi said: "Zhang Jun, this matter is actually very easy to understand." Chen Zhi put down the document in his hand, "Just like the adopted son of a noble family, he also changes with time. He needs to be literate when he is young. Distinguish between right and wrong, and then teach them knowledge. If they are in good health, they can also guide them to strengthen their bodies, or to learn the six arts of a gentleman. When they are older, they will be introduced to them as disciples, and sometimes they will have to rely on them. Following the trend, talking about mysticism or Buddhism are all divided into categories. If this is the case for educating people, how much more for politics?"

When Zhang Kang heard this and thought about it, it seemed that this was true.

He thought for a while and said: "Yangyuan New City is beginning to take shape, but many of them are nomadic remnants. These people may seem like foreigners, but they have also taken root in the local area for nearly a hundred years. After all, Yangyuan County was withdrawn because As nomads moved south, coupled with climate change, some of the herdsmen who went south stayed and are now farming along the Sanggan River. It was difficult to expel them. However, they relied on their tribes and identified with their tribes higher than those of counties and dynasties. Therefore, some It is better to be tough than to be gentle, let them fear the power, understand the consequences, and then know how to advance and retreat. When the situation stabilizes in the future, these people will learn to agree with it and then change their handling methods."

But when he said this, Zhang Kang frowned and said with some worry: "But in this way, the requirements for the people who govern are too high. Now that Chen Zi is handling it, there is no doubt about his ability. What can he do? If a mediocre person comes, wouldn’t it mean that it will come to a standstill?”

"This involves the method of selection," Chen Zhi laughed. "Because I am worried that there will be mediocrity, I want to use a system to solve the problem once and for all. This is a choice that avoids reality and replaces the truth. Why are there mediocrities?" People? It’s nothing more than a problem with the training and screening of talents. What should really be formulated is the selection method, rather than focusing on the management method. It must be difficult for a long time, otherwise it will be a headache."

Zhang Kang listened and felt that it made sense, but then he thought about it. Most of the current selection methods are based on rural character, that is, those who are filial and honest. Most people also need to have character to stand out. This is all He is from a high-ranking family, he has studied at home, and I think he is capable, so he seems to be relieved.

But at this time, Chen Zhi said again: "However, people with talent and learning may not necessarily have good character, and people with bad character may not be able to do practical things, but how they do things cannot be clearly monitored. You know, so there are still many things to be built, and these all involve people. No matter how well you set the rules, people still need to do it. So in the final analysis, it is how to manage people and mobilize people, rather than pushing this matter to one party. system."

At this point, he suddenly smiled and said: "Actually, what I'm most afraid of is that I think I have a set of perfect rules that will never be easy to change, but I don't have enough to screen out people who are truly capable of governing. If these two are combined, it will be like... An ever-expanding dream will sooner or later lead to disaster.”

As they were talking, someone came over to report that Wang Jun and King Jiangdu's envoy had settled in. The two asked when they could meet the prefect.

Chen Zhi thought for a moment and said with a smile: "People from King Jiangdu, do you have anything to say?"

The messenger shook his head.

Chen Zhi said, "Then you can ask again." After the others left, Chen Zhi smiled and said to Zhang Kang, "I heard about this man sent by King Jiangdu when I was in Xuzhou. We must have met him, he is a talented person, and the King of Jiangdu also offered Huanyi a central official position, why do you think he came here this time?"

Zhang Kang pondered for a moment and said: "I'm afraid it has something to do with the real name requested by the Lord a while ago. In addition, he has thoughts about the various productions of our Daijun."

"Yes," Chen Zhi nodded, "Then Wang Jun of Jiangdu and Wang Jun had a private agreement, so they both sent people over. I can understand what Wang Jun was thinking. He had just calmed down the commotion in Pingzhou and needed some time to repair. He sent people to negotiate with me, firstly for Wang Chen and Wu Jie, and secondly to confuse me, but what King Jiangdu wants is different, maybe he is someone we can negotiate with."

Zhang Kang hesitated for a moment after hearing this, and finally said: "King Jiangdu is quite fickle, and he is too high-ranking and looks down on others. He often breaks promises. Now that he has just signed a secret agreement with Wang Jun, he immediately sent someone over to negotiate. , I have seen his heart, if you want to associate with such a person, there may be hidden dangers."

Chen Zhi looked at Zhang Kang. He knew that behind Zhang Kang, there were people from the Zhang family in Hebei who chose to serve as officials under the King of Jiangdu. This was an act of betting from many parties, but there was no way to accuse him. It was a common thing, and he was willing to reveal it now. The news can be said to be very rare.

But after saying this, Chen Zhi said: "Cooperation is to get what we need, we can't just take advantage of one side, besides, there is Wang Jun and Shi Le between me and the king of Jiangdu, and we don't border each other. Contacting him now is a long way away. You can still give it a try, the key is to see how others choose."

After the words fell here, the man who just went to report came again, but this time, he brought a letter.

Chen Zhi took it and opened it, and after looking at it, he showed it to Zhang Kang. After a cursory look, the latter suddenly showed joy and said to Chen Zhi, "Congratulations to Mr. Fu, this Huan Yi is here with the title of Captain of the Three Cavalry. The imperial edict was issued to give real power to the prince. From then on, he was worthy of his name as General of the Northern Conquest. Then he opened the palace and established his teeth. He was no longer controlled by Wang Jun. It was just right to recruit Hu Cong from Xianbei to change his name. Not to mention, if Wang Jun wanted to attack, he would no longer What’s the point of justice!”

"Whether Wang Jun comes to attack or not is actually irrelevant. To resist this person, we don't rely on his name, but on real military strength, city defense, money and food. But you are right. We will govern Daijun in the future, and we will still use the name of Daijun Taishou." The leader, but managing the tribe, organizing and training soldiers and horses, you can directly act in the name of General Zhengbei. Including the reconstruction of Yangyuan County."

As Chen Zhi said this, he summoned another person and said, "Go and tell Mr. Huan Yi that Chen will be at the mansion to receive the order tomorrow morning."

As soon as they left, Chen Zhi said again: "Zhang Jun will have to work hard today. He will write down his words of thanks and receive orders tomorrow. All the officials from the county will be present."

Zhang Kang smiled and said: "This is what should be done."
