Johime Three Kingdoms

Chapter 254 Governor Candidates

"What does Mr. Guan want to teach him?" Bai Tu was impressed by Guan Ning's sincerity and did not refuse directly.

But you still have to ask...

"Education" is Guan Ning's strong point. When he was avoiding disasters in Liaodong, he used "precepts and deeds" to drive the people around Liaodong to be polite and righteous. This is something that Guan Ning should brag about for a lifetime.

It's just that... although Han and Hu people live together in Liaodong and are at the end of the Han territory in the chain of moral contempt, the situation is still fundamentally different from the situation of the Dongbo people in Yizhou.

"At the beginning of man's nature, he is essentially good...get rid of the shape, get the reality, and adapt to the local conditions." Guan Ning first quoted the opening chapter of the "Three Character Classic", and then stated that he would pay attention to "reality" and combine it with the situation in Yizhou .

Bai Tu couldn't help looking at Guan Ning in surprise...

Originally, he was worried that even if Guan Ning had a pure heart to educate the Touhou people, his behavior might be too pedantic, and would he lead the Touhou people to read scriptures with their heads shaking?I'm afraid...it's hard to convince the Dongbo people with this.

However, Guan Ning's answer was beyond Bai Tu's expectation.

Guan Ning accepted Bai Tu's surprised look calmly and looked at Bai Tu calmly.

What he saw and heard in Jinling during this period also had a subtle change in Guan Ning.

It's true that Guan Ning is a person with a moral cleanliness, but... Guan Ning's cleanliness is also an idealist's cleanliness - he is not hindered by his family, he will not consolidate his ideas for profit, and he is famous all over the world. It’s long past the time to seek fame.

At first, Guan Ning was dissatisfied when he saw a large number of uncultivated people stealing high positions in the general's mansion, but then he gradually discovered that it was these "uncultivated" people who were doing practical things, such as unwillingness to The name of Mr. Hua was revealed.

As for those officials who have passed the threshold of "virtue" and have really failed to cultivate their moral character, not only one or two officials were taken down by the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Punishment.

Regarding the brutal interference of the Ministry of Punishment in the clan's internal affairs, the evaluation of officials by the Ministry of Officials blindly using "profit", and the Ministry of Rites who did not want to be named Kong and You... don't mention it!
Guan Ning had many dissatisfactions.

However, Guan Ning did not lose sight of the common people in Jinling and even Yangzhou because of his own dissatisfaction. Even though they are in troubled times, their lives are getting better and better. To understand when to contact the government.

Even more and more powerful people from aristocratic families began to "expect" these common people to have some knowledge, making the resistance of township schools and county schools less and less.

After all, workshops are all short of people. An apprentice who cannot read a single word will be looked down upon in any workshop!

As a celebrity born in the common people, Guan Ning has already fallen into the arms of a noble family since his literary name Xiaocheng, otherwise he would not be as famous as he is now, but... what about the stubbornness of a wealthy family? Do you really not understand?
Therefore, while Guan Ning was dissatisfied, he also recognized Bai Tu and the General's Mansion.

This kind of recognition made Guan Ning have some thoughts in his mind after learning the news about Yizhou—after all, Hua, who has always been at the bottom of his moral contempt chain, has done a lot of practical things, but he is still just "auspicious" things".

Especially when the previous ones spoke, Guan Ning's disgust at the idea of ​​slavery made him completely determined.

Maybe Guan Ning is indeed pedantic in some respects, but at least in terms of simple values, he is not a person who puts interests first—he really does not put interests first, not that he does not care about the interests of others!
It would be fine if Bai Tu had appointed Wei Teng, Gu Yong and others before, but since Bai Tu also had this intention, Guan Ning thought that he should also do something.

Not for anyone or any benefit, just to verify myself.

"Since Mr. Guan has this intention, it is indeed a blessing for Yizhou! It seems that the position of governor of Yizhou has been decided." Bai Tu said happily.

Now that Guan Ning stood up, I was surprised, but... no one dared to say that they could do better than Guan Ning in terms of education.

"However, Yizhou has high mountains and deep forests, and there are still many dangers. Another general, An Yi Zhonglang, will be sent to assist the governor's department...Bo Yan." Bai Tu said, calling Lu Xun.

Lu Xun is now a rising star of the Lu family. Not only does Lu Kang support him, but he is also a student of Lu Su. He is also very capable. He has a literary name and martial arts, and he is already able to participate in the Moon Festival.

However, after all, he is still young, just 17 years old, and he is only at the bottom of the company. Usually at the monthly party, he seems very "steady" and has no sense of presence.

At this moment, Lu Xun was startled when he suddenly heard Bai Tu calling him...

Immediately afterwards, Lu Su and Lu Kang were found to be looking at him encouragingly. After swallowing his saliva, Lu Xun summoned up his courage and said, "I am here." The Marquis of Chu, claiming to be "subordinate" at this time, does not count as overstepping for Bai Tu.

"You have been following your teacher for three or four years. You should have some knowledge about fighting in complex terrains such as mountains and dense forests, right?" Bai Tu asked.

"What the teacher has learned, Xun only knows a little bit about it...but if I go to Yizhou, I would like to issue a military order." Lu Xun was modest at first, but considering that he was young and too modest, he would inevitably avoid it. I mean, so I added one more sentence.

The decision for Lu Xun to go to Yizhou was not Bai Tu's whim.

Even with Lu Xun's ability, just Yizhou is not enough, but that refers to Lu Xun's potential... For Lu Xun now, Yizhou can not only make him famous, but also his testing ground!

Once the Dongbo people rely on the mountains and forests to become enemies of the governor-general, they will have the same trouble as when they faced Shanyue. However, for Lu Xun, taking advantage of geographical advantages is his strength.

More importantly, not only in terms of martial arts, Lu Xun is all-rounder in both civil and military affairs, so letting him temporarily be under Guan Ning's subordinates can also be regarded as allowing him to accumulate experience in governing the local area...

In a few years, Bai Tu will be able to "harvest" an almost complete Lu Xun!
"Okay, after half a month, you will go to Yizhou with Xingba. If you have any requests during this period, you should prepare as much as possible in advance and report to the General's Mansion. The Sixth Department will fully cooperate." Bai Tu said.

As for Gan Ning sending them to Yizhou and completing the handover, he will start a new mission - heading north to Liaodong!
Once successful, it will alleviate the problem of "insufficient war horses" encountered when taking the route of unifying the south and the north, and lay the foundation for future competition with the northern princes.

After the matter of Yizhou was decided, Bai Tu asked as usual: "In the past month, have you discovered anything worth noting? Do you have any suggestions for improving the administration of the General's Mansion?"

After Bai Tu finished speaking, the middle hall became noticeably quiet—any comments?Of course there are opinions!
For example... sitting in the third place from the left of Baitu, the one who is considered "very near the front" in the seats at the Yuedan Club is a woman wearing a white gauze.

Because what she said before had nothing to do with her, Huang Yueying lifted her veil and ate the preserves on the table.

Now that the topic of Yizhou is over, everyone's eyes are focused.

Seeing this, Huang Yueying wiped her mouth silently, and then put the veil down again...
