Johime Three Kingdoms

Chapter 258

After Bai Tu led everyone to "dream", and with the trend of "labor is the most glorious", the trend of encouraging women to work in workshops during the off-season began to spread across Yangzhou from Jinling... but it was only limited to the area controlled by the General's Mansion.

Of course, the most important thing is that when a woman works in a workshop, the commission can be up to half of that of a man!
One day's wages, if calculated in linen or silk cloth, is comparable to several days of weaving at home. Even if you don't know how to add, subtract, multiply and divide, everyone can understand this calculation.

At the same time, the Ministry of Punishment has also focused on the second-rate men who harass women at work, including employers. Once caught, they will be sent directly to the county for trial!

Once obstruction by the county is discovered, the annual performance of the county magistrate and county magistrate will be directly calculated from grade C, and the person in charge of the county punishment hall will be suspended from duty and held accountable.

Confidence and interests have led more and more manpower to step away from the model of "men farming and women weaving".

Correspondingly, in the Central Plains, Jingchu, Guanzhong, Hebei, Bashu and other places... all kinds of smear campaigns against white pictures have followed the trend and continued in an endless stream.

In their mouths, Baitu hangs around with actors all day long, and is dishonest; he spends money and food to send the navy to sea in order to find the elixir of life; he even accuses the general's government of forcing girls into prostitution, buying and selling women into workshops, and It’s called a workshop, but it’s actually a place where filth and evil are hidden; there’s also a rumor that Bai Tu arranged the woman he was hanging out with as a senior official on his staff...

Always...almost meets all the flags and characteristics of the Last Emperor.

Less than a month had passed since the Lunar New Year meeting, and all kinds of slander had already come to life.

However, this kind of thing is propaganda, and not everyone believes it.

Moreover, propaganda by forces such as Jingzhou Prefecture and the Prime Minister's Office is actually not as effective as the instigation of local nobles. However... most of the nobles, unless they have "studied" other princes, will not be willing to do so even if they are not optimistic about Bai Tu. So offending.

So basically everyone talks about it, and it will definitely have an impact on Bai Tu's reputation. It's not as flawless as it is within the jurisdiction of the General's Mansion, but it won't be infamous in other areas just because of some rumors.

After all, Bai Tu is not the Yangzhou shepherd who took up the post five years ago alone and "just" with his adoptive father. Now Bai Tu's "shame" is very thick - Kong Rong is on the first level, Guan Ning and Bingyuan are on the first level. Layer, Wang Su is the first layer, "Killing a person is like killing my father" is the first layer...

On the left and right levels, it is not that easy for others to attack!
In fact, this is also a common method. There are even some wild theater troupes under the general's government, performing plays such as "Aha's Private School Results Are Not Satisfactory". Bai Tu has always condemned this kind of behavior...

What's more, even though the princes from all sides made it sound like their enemies would die suddenly on the spot in the next second, no one actually came to defeat the paper tiger Bai Tu.

On the contrary, more and more nobles are moving to Huainan - as for rumors, they have even less impact on the judgment of the nobles.

On the one hand, between the Central Plains and Huainan, neither Cao Cao nor Liu Bei would be stuck too seriously. After all, we are members of the "White Cao Liu Alliance". If you are too outspoken, others will think too much. As for... why... If they move more southward and less northward to the Central Plains, then Cao Cao and Liu Bei need to reflect on it themselves!
On the other hand... as for Jiangdong, the local gentry were too strong. On the contrary, in Huainan, which had just suffered a disaster, the influence of the local gentry was greatly weakened because a large amount of unregistered land was taken over by the General's Mansion after the wealthy families fled.

Many non-Yangzhou nobles who were optimistic about the General's Mansion also moved out of their branches, established themselves in Huainan, and sought officers in the General's Mansion.

Even the old fox Chen Gui from Xuzhou arranged for his second son Chen Ying to be sent to Guangling County...

The base camp of the Chen family was originally in Guangling County. Instead, after Guangling was included in the jurisdiction of the General's Mansion, a large part of the direct lineage of the Chen family began to travel north to Xiapi County, and their strength returned to Xuzhou.

Bai Tu was not sure whether the Chen family was really influenced by Liu Bei, or whether they wanted to concentrate their efforts and prepare to "sacrifice" Liu Bei as a gift for his promotion to Cao Cao...

It is said that Chen Gui and Chen Deng are both crazy fans of Cao Cao, but Liu Bei, as a generation of heroes, is more charming than his aunt Baitu in various Three Kingdoms games. He has been stable in Xuzhou for so many years, and he is able to bring Chen and his son together. It is not impossible to re-brainwash back to your own camp!

If Chen and his son really have any ideas, taking advantage of the fact that Liu Bei lacks a "backbone" in Xudu and Xuzhou should be their best opportunity.

As for Chen Ying coming to Guangling...

Bai Tu didn't have any doubts. If Chen Deng came in person, Bai Tu might consider whether the old and young foxes wanted to cause trouble, but... Chen Ying's words obviously did not share the Chen family's "cunning" ", but Zhongrenzhi is an honest child who is still mentally disturbed after seeing Sun Quan, so he is very grateful to Bai Tu.

After he took over the power of the Chen family who stayed in Guangling, in order to show goodwill to the General's Office, he made the government orders of the General's Office much smoother in Guangling.

Therefore, Bai Tu also appointed him as the Cheng of Guangling County. Judging from the training method, he is quite likely to appoint him as the prefect in the future...

Of course, if that day comes, Bai Tu will definitely not forget to appoint Sun Quan as the county magistrate to make up for Chen Ying's lack of ability - considering his age, when Chen Ying can be the prefect, Sun Quan should have no problem becoming the county magistrate. !
Bai Tu did this for his own good...

Most people from aristocratic families are not as lucky as Chen Ying to have such a high starting point.

Neither the Chen family has the influence over Guangling, nor is it like Chen Ying who could go in and out of the General's Mansion many times on the pretext of thanking Bai Tu for saving him (while turning a blind eye to the Sun Mansion).

Talented people naturally don't worry about being buried, not to mention being from a noble family, even from a poor family, there are people who are exceptionally appointed from time to time, such as Lingling Jiang Wan who has been heavily publicized recently...

After passing the talent selection test, he was favored by Bai Tu and immediately entered the imperial staff!
As for the children of some aristocratic families who are not very talented, it is more uncomfortable - under the rule of the General and the Marquis of Chu, they are indeed prosperous and have many opportunities, but... these opportunities must have excellent abilities or strong connections to "take" them.

It is said that mutual recommendation between aristocratic families is an inherent routine in various places. However, most of the wealthy aristocratic families under Bai Tu's rule were from Jiangdong, so they were xenophobic. The only "outsiders" were real nobles, or people related to them. Only those with good relationships with certain important staff members under Bai Tu can get direct recommendations to Bai Tu. For the rest... just work hard on your own!

And today Bai Tu has to meet with a related family again...

Moreover, the "door" of this family is strong enough, it was Lu Bu who personally asked Bai Tu to recommend it.

"Father, why do you have time today to come have lunch together?" Bai Tu asked curiously.

"Hard disk, do you have time after dinner?" Lu Bu asked directly.

"Usually after lunch, I will practice for an hour. My adoptive father taught me the Nine Transformations of the Black Bird. But...if my adoptive father is busy, I will naturally have time!" Bai Tu said that he practiced hard every day. look.

Lu Bu did not go out of his way to expose him, but said: "A close friend of mine when I was in Bingzhou brought his family to Huainan not long ago. He was embarrassed to speak at first, but he suffered a lot in Naxian Hall one after another. Come to Jinling and find me, and you can meet him later!"

When recommended by others, regardless of whether it is true or false, they always praise the recommended person and try to show that they are not recommending because of the relationship. However, Lu Bu directly told Bai Tu that he was his close friend and old friend...

ability?

In Lu Bu's words - Generally speaking, there is no problem in suppressing the rebellious Huns tribe during the merger...

However, in Shouchun's Naxian Hall, although he was not directly eliminated, his performance was mediocre. At least the appointment he received was not satisfactory to his adoptive father's old friend.

Lu Bu has already said this, so naturally he has to see Bai Tu. Not to mention that he can beat the Huns, even if he can only be beaten by the Huns, he still has to see him!
But at this moment, Su Wei suddenly reported that it was Jiang Wan, the chief clerk of the Ministry of Personnel, who asked to see...

Lu Bu also knew that there must be something important to meet him at this lunch stall, so he said: "If there is something wrong with the hard drive, deal with it first. Uncle Ya's matter is not urgent."

Uncle Ya is not Lu Bu's uncle, but the cousin named "Uncle Ya".

"Then I'll go see what's going on with Gongyan first. Foster father and Lingqi, you guys can continue eating without waiting for me." Bai Tu said, getting up and leaving the dining table to go to the central hall.

Gongyan is naturally Jiang Wan's cousin.

At this time, Lu Bu looked at Lu Lingqi who was still eating, frowned and said, "Aren't you serving as the captain of the guard? Why is Hard Drive alone?"

Lu Lingqi was so angry that she put down her chopsticks, glared at Lu Bu, and followed him.

It was pointless for Lu Bu to eat alone, so in the end... Jiang Wan also saw Lu Bu in the middle hall.

"I have met my lord, and I have met the privy envoy." Jiang Wan saluted.

Jiang Wan was discovered by the Jinling Naixian Hall and recommended to Bai Tu. The standards of the Naxian Hall were already higher than those in the talent selection test.

After all, the talent selection test is held on schedule. If you are not outstanding in ability, just wait for the talent selection test!

Even if they "break out of the siege" in the talent selection examination, they will only be filled into the local petty officials. Promotions can only rely on the quarterly assessment of the personnel department...

The talented people discovered by the Naxian Hall will even be sent directly to Jinling and Bai Tu will be interviewed in person.

It was after Jiang Wan came to Jinling and recommended himself through the Naxian Pavilion, Bai Tu caught his eye, and went directly from a commoner to the sixth department of the Great General's Mansion!
It's not that Bai Tu is bragging. Bai Tu had already discovered Jiang Wan's talent before he even met him...

That's right, he recognized it by his name - one of the four prime ministers of the Shu Han Dynasty, the successor of Zhuge Liang, and the second prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty!
Although among the four prime ministers of the Shu-Han Dynasty, the last three and the first Zhuge Liang are inevitably suspected of "forcing the same name", but when it comes to internal affairs, no one is in vain.

You can understand by just saying one thing - including Zhuge Liang, who was born in Nanyang, all the four prime ministers of the Shu Han Dynasty were from Jingzhou!

If the most difficult point in Soochow's internal governance is the mutual game between the aristocratic family, the upstarts, and the royal family, then the difficulty of Shu Han's internal governance is the game between the foreign Jingzhou faction and Yizhou's native Bashu faction...

However... in comparison, the Shu Han Dynasty can be called "harmonious", at least it is not as ugly as the "Second Palace Controversy", and the four consecutive generations of prime ministers are all Jingzhou people. In the overall situation, it can be said that the local factions It is always suppressed!

Although it is thanks to the foundation laid by Zhuge Liang, but... the methods of the last three cannot be underestimated.
