The big man has a living father

Chapter 132 (Big Chapter) Bole's Arrangement

December twenty-eight.

The Huo Mansion was decorated with lights and colorful decorations.

No one had ever seen such a festive atmosphere.

Red paper, red gauze, red lanterns.

Golden cups, golden lamps, and golden tables.

Huo Qubing was flirting with the guests while Huo Hai was preparing in the inner room.

From today on, Huo Hai can wear a hat.

Although you don’t have to bring it with you in the future, it’s still better to bring it with you on this day.

In the research institute, there was a researcher who had no scientific thinking at all. However, when everyone else was learning to draw engineering design drawings, he took a different approach and learned how to draw with lines.

So, this person also came to the scene today and wanted to paint a portrait of Huo Hai.

This is just like taking photos in later generations.

Huo Hai, who was adjusting his hat, saw Huo Guang walk in.

Huo Guang smiled and cupped his hands: "Second brother, from today on you are an adult."

Huo Hai: "You can't wait long."

"You've arrived, so it must be His Majesty. Why didn't you come here with His Majesty?"

Huo Guang: "Let me come and see my second brother first."

Huo Hai was happy: "You are here to see Xiaoqi, right?"

Xiaoqi is the little girl that Huo Hai rescued on the day when the refugees first entered Chang'an.

This little girl is quite fierce.

Although Huo Hai didn't pay attention to what was going on at home, he stayed at home every day, so how could he not know? Every time Huo Guang went to bathe, he would come back and hang around Xiao Qi. Anyone with a normal eye could see it.

Huo Guang smiled shyly, and then said: "I'll go."

Huo Guang left, and Huo Hai looked at Xiang Xu at the door: "Has Kong Anguo arrived?"

Xiang Xu: "Kong Anguo is here."

Although Huo Hai had no evidence in the Zhang Ou case, he was very sure that Kong Anguo was involved.

Because Lu Bushu is a stupid person, he can be a knife, but it is impossible for him to hold the knife, let alone be the mastermind behind the scenes.

Although Lü Bushu was an official in the court, he was actually a scholar with no connections and not many friends.

And Kong Anguo was the man he knew, who was both ruthless and resourceful, and who might have connections with other dignitaries.

What's more, when Kong Anguo ran away and took Zhang Zuo away, Huo Hai suspected Kong Anguo at that time.

Although Kong Anguo sent Zhang Zuo back the next day and seemed to have cleared his suspicion, Huo Hai still felt that there was something wrong with him.

Huo Hai: "Keep an eye on Kong Anguo and see who he is talking to in secret."

"Remember, it doesn't matter how long you talk. If someone deliberately avoids you or speaks in a very low voice, pay attention."

Normally, it would definitely be safest for these people to communicate through correspondence. If they met in private, they could not escape the surveillance of the Embroidered Uniform Envoys, because except Liu Che himself, no one knew exactly how many Embroidered Uniform Envoys there were.

So, they must have communicated through letters to do such things.

Now that they have the opportunity to have a face-to-face meeting, they will definitely have one. If they haven't had one, then they have agreed to keep a low profile. They will also meet briefly after leaving the Huo Mansion today.

This way, the reason is appropriate and will not attract attention.

Kong Anguo would definitely talk to other people and communicate with many people to clear his suspicion before talking to the real culprit.

But no matter how they try to hide it, they will eventually talk where others can see but not hear.

……

Liu Che entered the Huo Mansion, laughing as he walked.

Huo Qubing was accompanying him, saying, "Your Majesty, you are joking. How can I be called a great master?"

Liu Che: "How many disciples did Confucius have?"

Li Cai next to him: "Three thousand."

Liu Che: "Didn't Huo Qubing also have 3,000 disciples?"

Huo Qubing's core troops consisted of a total of three thousand people. These three thousand people were all taught by Huo Qubing himself, so they were three thousand disciples.

Everyone knew that Liu Che was joking, and they all burst into laughter and cooperated very well.

Liu Che continued: "How many wise men are there among your three thousand disciples? One hundred principals, right? Confucius only had seventy-two wise men."

Everyone laughed.

You are doing this on purpose, are you trying to put Confucius down?
Huo Qubing smiled and said, "There are not a hundred. To be exact, there are ninety-six. We originally selected a hundred, but four of them did not want to retire and wanted to serve the country, so we selected four more outstanding ones from the others to fill the gap."

Liu Che laughed loudly: "These one hundred principals, with one thousand teachers, are now teaching tens of thousands of students."

At present, on average each primary school teacher has 30 students, and technical schools have about the same number of students. In addition, the number of students enrolled in night schools has increased recently, and the number of students in a class has increased from 50 to nearly 80.

When the class starts in the evening, there are braziers everywhere on the ground.

If you don’t know, you might think it’s a Holy Fire Cult gathering.

Huo Qubing said: "Your Majesty, please stop joking about Confucius. My second brother admires Confucius the most. If he knew, he would be angry with me."

Everyone around looked down on him after hearing this.

My goodness, everyone knows that Huo Hai likes to use Confucius as an excuse to show off his power. When did he start to admire Confucius?

Although they always respect Confucius in their words and deeds, aren't all they do digging up the ancestral graves of Confucianism?
Isn’t Confucius the one in the ancestral tomb of Confucianism?
But no one could refute it. After all, on the surface no one could find any fault with it.

A group of people walked forward. As they walked, Liu Che looked at the door leading to the main courtyard. There were two vertical pieces of red paper with words written on them.

Liu Che also learned simplified Chinese characters and recognized what was written above.

"The sound of wind, rain, and reading are all pleasant to the ear."

"Is that how it's divided?"

Zhang Ou next to him: "I care about everything, family affairs, national affairs, and world affairs."

"Hey, the words written on these two pieces of paper have a special rhythm when read."

Liu Che laughed: "This little bastard."

Didn't Liu Che know Huo Hai? He was sure that Huo Hai wrote this just to show off and to demonstrate his eloquence, and that what was written was definitely not his true thoughts.

No matter what the family affairs, national affairs or world affairs are, he just goes to bed early and late, sleeps every day, and is always confused.

Huo Qubing explained: "Oh, my second brother said that this is a new way of playing that he and Sima Gong have researched. It is the same as the previous idioms, poems and two-part allegorical sayings. This is called a couplet."

"Couplet means two sentences that are in parallel with each other, also called couplets or parallelism."

"Normally, when people play around verbally, one person comes up with the first line and the other person comes up with the second line. The first line must have some mystery or rules, and the second line must match."

No one understands yet.

Huo Qubing: "For example, if the radicals of all the characters in the first couplet are the same, then the radicals of the second couplet must also be the same. If the keywords of the first couplet are all five colors, then the keywords of the second couplet can be five sounds. If the first couplet is a pun, then the second couplet must also be a pun."

Liu Che responded: "Oh? Now that you mention it, it's quite interesting. It's more interactive than writing poetry."

"But this red paper looks like a peach charm when it's pasted on the door."

Taofu originated in the Qin Dynasty. It consists of two signs hung on the door with the names of two gods written on them.

It was not until the Tang Dynasty that this thing was broken down into two parts. The door gods were directly painted and pasted on the door, while the characters became longer and turned into couplets.

Huo Qubing: "Oh, Huo Hai said that these couplets that are usually written can also be used to express auspicious words. They can be written on red paper and posted on the door for celebration. They are specially posted during the Chinese New Year and are called Spring Festival couplets."

"The couplets posted in other courtyards of the Huo Mansion are all auspicious words, this pair of couplets will be posted at the entrance of his courtyard."

"But I feel that this couplet is more meaningful than just a simple Spring Festival couplet. Plus, his coming-of-age ceremony will be held in the main courtyard today, so I moved this couplet to the main courtyard."

Everyone suddenly realized.

Everyone is familiar with auspicious words. The last time Huo Hai and Dongfang Shuo performed crosstalk, didn’t they say a lot of auspicious words? Writing couplets with auspicious words, isn’t that easy?
In the second row of the team, Dongfang Shuo looked at the couplet, thoughtfully.

Dongfang Shuo has been studying foreign languages ​​so hard these days that he has become stupid. After all, he is really studying foreign languages.

After seeing the Spring Festival couplets, Dongfang Shuo wanted to change his mind.

As they walked, Dongfang Shuo said: "It smells so good."

Dong Zhongshu next to him said, "Are you kidding me? We smelled the fragrance when we entered the yard. You only smelled it now? The fragrance just floated up, right?"

Dongfang Shuo laughed out loud: "If everyone smelled it, why didn't anyone say anything?"

Who would dare to say that? After all, we are all nobles and officials. We have to be proud. We can't say anything even if we smell something delicious, otherwise others will think that we have never eaten anything good.

Dongfang Shuo didn't care about this and said directly: "This smell is good!"

Liu Che smiled and said, "You may not know that Huo Hai invented a new cooking method called stir-frying."

"In order to cook, a wok was invented. This wok is much more convenient for frying and cooking than the previous pots, so Changan cooking has become popular now."

"You may have been too busy recently and haven't paid attention. There are quite a few stir-fry restaurants in Chang'an City."

The last time Liu Che attended the annual meeting at the coal mine, he had fried dishes, so he sent the imperial chef to Huo Hai to learn from Huo Hai's chef.

But the news about others came later.

It has only been a few days since cooking became popular in Chang'an City. These high-ranking officials have few holidays, so they have no idea about these things while on duty.

Dongfang Shuo: "What a treat!"

There were more and more people in the yard before Huo Hai walked out.

As soon as Huo Hai came out, Princess Wei Chang came over holding a box.

When Liu Che saw it, he was shocked. He said, "Wow, you've been here for a long time and I didn't see you come out. You came out as soon as Qing Ke came, right?"

When Huo Hai saw Princess Wei Chang, he went up to her and asked, "What is this?"

Princess Wei Chang blinked her eyes and said, "It's a birthday present for you."

Huo Hai whispered: "Can you open it now?"

Princess Wei Chang nodded.

Huo Hai placed the paper box on the high table and picked it up.

This paper shell box is a specialty of the paper mill and has not yet been mass-produced, so it has not been widely circulated.

However, the dairy factory has already started using this kind of cardboard box, so the one Princess Wei Chang used was of course custom-made.

After opening it, Huo Hai saw a very good-looking cake.

There are also some fruits on it, all of which are produced in the south and are probably transported here at full speed.

There was a message "Happy Birthday, Huo Hai" on the cake.

This was obviously made by Princess Wei Chang herself. Huo Hai looked at Princess Wei Chang and said, "Thank you! I like it very much."

Liu Che poked his head out and said: Okay, okay, this is the first time my daughter cooks, and I’m not the one eating.

Princess Wei Chang took out a candle and said, "Come and make a wish."

Huo Hai: "Make a wish at night. It's daylight now, so why not light some candles."

Cakes have become quite popular in Chang'an, and now many children from wealthy families will order cakes for their birthdays.

After all, the prince eats cake on his birthday, so of course everyone follows suit.

There are actually quite a few cake shops in Chang'an City. Although ordinary people have not had the chance to enjoy them, princes and nobles are quite familiar with them.

However, everyone still rushed to see the cake made by the princess herself.

When Liu Che heard this, he was surprised that this bastard wanted to drag Princess Wei Chang to be alone with him at night?
"Huo Hai, there are so many people here now, why don't you make a wish, blow out the candles, and then divide the cake?"

Zhang Ou, Dongfang Shuo and others: "Yes, yes, let's eat some too!"

Huo Hai: "This cake is so small and there are so many people, how do we divide it?"

Huo Qubing: "How to divide it? Of course, the first to come has it, and the later ones have nothing."

"Those that came first have to be divided carefully. Your Majesty gets the most, as does your birthday. As for the others, the elders can each have a piece. There won't be much left, so give each of them a little as a token of appreciation."

Everyone looked at Huo Qubing.

You'd better say really divide the cake.

Huo Hai thought for a moment and said, "In theory, the rules of the coming-of-age ceremony should still be the same old rules, but Chang'an has changed a lot now, and the rules can't always be the same."

"Then let's start with cutting the cake."

"Invite the guests to take their seats and set off the cannons!"

Liu Che sat down first: "Let them take their seats."

Eunuch Wang announced the decree loudly, and everyone else immediately sat down in their respective seats.

At this time, near the door in the courtyard decorated with lights, Zhang Li and Ge Nan spread out a roll of firecrackers and lit it.

“Crack~Bang~! Crack!!”

The sound of firecrackers startled many people.

Butler Chen shouted loudly: "When the firecrackers go off, there will be a fortune!"

"The auspicious time has arrived, and the guests are in their seats!"

With the sound of firecrackers, all the noise became quieter, and everyone's attention was focused. Butler Chen immediately began to follow the procedures: "The second son of the Huo family, Huo Hai, has come of age. The head of the Huo family, old man Huo Zhongru, is enjoying his life in his hometown Pingyang, so the eldest son of the Huo family, General Huo Qubing, will preside over the coming-of-age ceremony!"

"The host welcomes His Majesty, long live His Majesty! We welcome His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, long live His Royal Highness! We welcome Her Royal Highness Princess Wei Chang, Your Highness..."

"Welcome all guests."

"Please let the Second Young Master cut the cake first!"

At this time, many people in the back were looking at the cake with envy.

"Why are you so jealous? It's not like you haven't eaten cake before. Just go out to the store and order one."

"You know nothing. What kind of cake is that? What plate is it on? What ingredients are in it? What kind of cake is that? What plate is it on? What ingredients are in it?"

Look at the white jade plate as big as a wheel underneath the cake.

Check out the fruit and dried nuts on this late winter cake.

Look at the size.

Not to mention that this was made by Her Royal Highness the Princess herself.

But this statement always feels a little wrong.

“I don’t know if we can get a piece of the pie.”

The person next to him smiled and said, "The knife is in the hands of Second Young Master Huo Hai now. Second Young Master Huo will divide the cake. If you have a high enough status and are capable enough, you will naturally get a share."

"Oh? Status aside, can you get a share if you have the ability?"

At this time, Huo Hai first kept a portion of the cake for himself, one for Liu Che, one for the prince, and one for the princess.

Then one each for his eldest brother and third younger brother.

At this time, Huo Qubing's concubine, who had not yet married into the family, was sitting at a table far away with a bulging belly. Huo Hai also cut a small piece and asked Xiang Xu to send it over.

All the guests' attention was focused on her.

Huo Qubing shouted: "My son will be born in a few months. I will treat everyone to wine and meat then."

There was a burst of congratulations at the scene.

Then Huo Hai cut another piece and handed it to Huo Guang.

Huo Guang took the cake and went to find Xiaoqi.

Almost half of all the rich and noble people in Chang'an have come. Anyone who can get a piece of cake at the banquet today is a celebrity.

Everyone's attention was on the little girl in ordinary clothes.

"Who is this little girl?" "I don't know, but there's not much cake left, and those who can get it are all big shots."

Next, Sima Xiangru and Lei Lin got their share of the cake.

Zhao Po Nu, Mei Hefu, Bu Shi, Chen An, Yang Liancheng and others sat at the same table, and everyone got a piece of cake.

"That person is General Zhao Po Nu, the Eagle Strike General's right-hand man and Huo Hai's partner. It is said that he holds 1% of the Tongguan Coal Mine, the smallest share among the major shareholders of the Tongguan Coal Mine, but also the largest total share among the minor shareholders."

"This man is Meihefu. Although he looks ordinary, he is the real manager of Tongguan Coal Mine. He controls 50,000 miners and 30,000 drivers, and has an annual capital flow of 10 billion. With just one order from him, the price of grain in Tongguan will skyrocket a hundredfold. Similarly, if he takes a fancy to your family's products, whether it is grain, vegetables or meat, no matter how much you raise, he will buy out all of them with one word. No matter how much you raise, it will not be enough for the Tongguan Coal Mine to eat."

"Oh? This is a big shot. If we cooperate with him, wouldn't it be easy to make a fortune?"

"Nonsense, forget about cooperation. Even if a little bit of it leaks out from between his fingers, it will be enough for you and me to eat for ten lifetimes!"

"Have you seen this man? He is Bu Shi, the commander of the grain industry. Currently, 30% of the land around Chang'an is in the hands of His Majesty and Huo Hai, and he is in charge of 20% of it. He mainly manages pastures. He is in charge of the sterile milk, goat milk, dairy products, and wool that are popular in Chang'an. I heard that he plans to increase the number of sheep in his hands by more than six times in the new year and expand the scale of breeding."

Among the people who came to the banquet was a noble whose vassal state had a particularly large sheep production: "Oh? Can he eat 10,000 sheep?"

Others looked down on him: "Ten thousand? Three hundred thousand!"

"hiss!"

"Keep your voice down. I heard that two Xiongnu kings on the grassland have learned that wool is valuable and are trying every means to contact Bu Shi. But I don't know if Master Huo will do this business."

"This person is Chen An, the descendant of Lu Ban and now the vice president of the Technical College. All these strange and bizarre products in Chang'an City are made by the craftsmen he trained."

"What's so great about it?"

"The dean is His Majesty, and the other vice dean is Master Huo."

"Fuck~ sorry to bother you, that's really amazing."

"This person is Yang Liancheng, the vice president of the Royal Research Institute. I heard that the people in the institute are more powerful than each other. They can fly into the sky and hide in the ground, and they can be as strong as an ox. It is rumored that this person is the Hidden Ink Master, but it has not been confirmed."

When some people discussed this, they looked at Confucianists, especially Dong Zhongshu and Kong Anguo.

Dong Zhongshu pretended not to notice these glances.

Kong Anguo had a very provocative look in his eyes, but he did not get angry.

After he had divided the profits among his own people, Huo Hai began to cut small pieces and give them to the nobles and officials who had participated in the investment and were present.

Some officials of the two thousand stone level, who were also at the Nine Ministers level, got the cake because of their business investments, even if they were at odds with Huo Hai, they still got it, such as Li Gan and Li Guang.

But some people have a good relationship with the Huo family, but they didn’t invest, so they didn’t get a share of the cake.

For example, the left general Gongsun He’s right-hand man was supposed to be a relative of the Huo family, but he did not get any share of the cake.

Everyone was paying attention to the movement of dividing the cake: "Those who got the cake all have big commercial investments in Chang'an County or Chang'an City, or have joined the Chang'an Street project. It seems that there is a purpose for dividing the cake."

After these people had divided the cake, one person still got a share of the cake and everyone was surprised.

A piece of cake was placed in front of Dong Yan.

Who in Chang'an City doesn't know that Huo Hai chased Dong Yan with a sword?

He also said that he wanted to be made a marquis, and then kill Dong Yan to use the title of marquis to atone for his crime?

Dong Yan brought the jade-like small plate, saw the cake on it, raised his head and said loudly: "Huo Hai, I wish you great wealth and honor, but the title of Great Shuzhang is good enough, don't make it a marquis."

Many people are laughing.

Dong Yan was venting his dissatisfaction in the form of a joke, but at the same time he was also grateful, after all, he was wishing Huo Hai great wealth and power.

Huo Hai continued to cut the cake: "I will definitely be granted the title of Marquis. If you don't cause any trouble before I am granted the title of Marquis, I will not look for you."

Dong Yan: "It is not clear who was granted the title of nobility first."

In the end, the whole big cake was divided up.

There were too many tables in the yard, and because it was the first time there was a large-scale sharing of tables, many strangers were arranged at the same table.

Before the dishes were served, the others looked at those who got the cake with great envy.

It is obvious that those who got the cakes are all influential figures in Chang'an. Even though some of them got small cakes, only the size of a date and without cream.

But if you can have this bite, you will be a big shot in Chang'an who is highly regarded!

Many people at the same table looked at the plainly dressed man and complimented him: "This brother, since he can get a share of the cake, he must be a great man!"

Zhang Li, who was eating cake, laughed and said, "I am just an ordinary alchemist. I didn't do anything. I just made some gunpowder."

When others heard it was medicine, they said, "Oh? It seems that this medicine must be very powerful!"

Zhang Li nodded: "It's quite impressive."

Everyone at the table became interested. What kind of medicine is so powerful? "What does it cure?"

Zhang Li was stunned for a moment, then thought for a while: "Cure...all diseases? Cure phobia."

When you die, everything will be cured.

A group of people were also amazed.

After finishing the cake, Huo Qubing stood up and brought a bowl of wine: "Everyone, the wine is good but don't drink too much. This wine is a highly distilled wine specially brewed by our Huo family. You are used to drinking rice wine and are not used to this kind of strong liquor. It's best to drink less."

A group of people raised their glasses.

Huo Qubing: "Back when I was on the grassland, I had a pot of wine, but it was not enough for everyone, so I poured the wine into the spring, and all the soldiers drank together, and we conquered the grassland in one fell swoop, and later the Jiuquan County was established there."

"Today, there is plenty of wine, everyone, drink as much as you can!"

"Back then, one pot of wine conquered the Jiuquan Spring. Today, we need a thousand pots of wine. After we drink together, we can develop the economy and make the Han Dynasty more and more prosperous. Then, we can conquer thousands of countries wherever we go!"

"Come!"

People who didn't know what strong liquor was thought it was rice wine and took a gulp of it, almost spitting it out.

Many people's faces turned red as they forced themselves to hold back their gulps of wine.

Seeing Huo Qubing laughing so happily, I admired him from the bottom of my heart.

A good man drinks strong liquor, travels around the world, and is a hero.

Huo Qubing did not say anything about declaring sovereignty from beginning to end, but his words and deeds implied that those present should follow Huo Hai, as they would definitely receive benefits in the future, just like the soldiers who had captured Jiuquan were rewarded.

Huo Qubing: "Everyone knows that my second brother was taught by me personally and he writes well."

The whole audience burst into laughter.

Everyone knows that the Huo family’s offspring are good. Is it really because you, General Huo, taught them so well that they became useless?
Huo Qubing: "But this guy has devoted all his time to leading the people of our Han Dynasty to prosperity."

People who are familiar with him couldn't help but roll their eyes, while those who are not familiar with him admired Huo Hai's hard work.

Huo Qubing: "I tried to persuade him, saying that you have reached adulthood, so why don't you write an article? Finally, he wrote an article."

"Everyone, listen to this."

Huo Hai put down the bowl and stood up.

Many people at the scene also became interested.

When it comes to writing, the only people who can compare with Huo Hai in ancient and modern times are Qu Yuan and Sima Xiangru.

Even if the conditions are relaxed a little, there will still be a Jia Yi and Zhuang Zhou.

I haven’t seen a good article for a long time, and some people are really itching to do so.

Huo Hai stood up and smiled: "This article is for myself, for everyone present, and for the students I will accept."

Everyone looked at each other.

Huo Hai just came of age and he’s going to accept students?

Although I'm not accepting disciples, it feels similar.

Who is this person?
Huo Hai: "My student is Zhang Zuo, the son of Xuanping Hou Zhang Ou. Although Zhang Ou is not a good father and a good marquis, and not a good official of the Han Dynasty, he is a good father and found a good teacher like me for his son."

As soon as these words came out, everyone at the scene looked over.

There's no way. Zhang Ou's story is too well-known. It's impossible not to know about it.

Now that Zhang Zuo has been accepted as a student by Huo Hai, does it mean that Zhang Ou will be dealt with soon?

Zhang and Ou were convicted and stripped of their titles? Zhang Zuo was conferred the title afterward? To preserve this lineage?
Everyone was thinking.

He didn't notice at all that Huo Hai was bragging about himself crazily.

Huo Hai took out a piece of paper with a smile.

Many people can see through the back of the paper that the article is not long.

Huo Hai: "【There are good horses only when there are good horse trainers. Good horses are common, but good horse trainers are rare.】"

Everyone looked at Huo Hai, each with their own thoughts and ideas in their eyes.

Bole? A thousand-mile horse?

“[Thus, although a horse is famous, it is only humiliated by the hands of slaves and dies in the stable, so it cannot be called a thousand-mile horse. A horse that can run a thousand miles may eat a stone of millet in one meal. The person who feeds the horse does not know that the horse can run a thousand miles and feeds it. Such a horse, although it can run a thousand miles, is not full of food, lacks strength, and its talents and beauty are not visible. Moreover, it cannot be equal to ordinary horses, so how can it be expected to run a thousand miles?”

Many people present knew the story of the first Bole and were wondering about Huo Hai's intention in writing this article.

Huo Hai continued: "[If you don't use the right way to whip a horse, you can't use the best of its potential when feeding it, you can't understand its meaning when it neighs, and you hold the whip and look at it, and say, "There are no horses in the world!" Alas! Is there really no horse? It's because you don't know horses!]"

While everyone was still waiting for the sequel, Huo Hai had already smiled and put away the paper: "'Horse Talk'."

"Is it over?" Liu Che asked before he began to think about it.

This article is really wonderful. Although it is short, it is really powerful.

A good horse needs a good horse trainer.

Nowadays, who doesn’t like a thousand-mile horse? Even Liu Che himself likes a thousand-mile horse.

Liu Che has already found three groups of people to find a way to get the Ferghana horse.

But Huo Hai said in a unique way that there are always good horses and they are everywhere.

What is lacking is a mentor.

The more important point is this sentence: "Thus, even if a horse is famous, it will only be humiliated by the hands of slaves and die in the stable, and it cannot be called a thousand-mile horse."

Wei Qing took a sip of wine before putting down the empty glass: "I also raise horses."

Everyone looked at Wei Qing.

Wei Qing: "I don't know if there are any good horses among the horses I raise that I have missed. But I only know that if it weren't for Your Majesty, I would have been raising horses all my life. So Your Majesty is my Bole."

Everyone nodded.

Wei Qing, the war god of the Han Dynasty.

If it weren't for Wei Qing, no one would have been able to defeat the Huns. Who knows if the border is threatened by the Huns every day now?

But even Wei Qing was just a horse herder at the beginning, and no one knew that he would become a general in the future.

If Your Majesty had not met Wei Qing, Wei Qing would still be a horse herder, and the Han Dynasty would be lacking a great general!

Many people suddenly thought of a question.

There are so many talented horses in the world, but no one has discovered them.

Is it possible that there are so many talented people in the world, but no one has discovered them?
These talented people did not receive a good education, had no chance to display their talents, and ended up mixed in with inferior people, living their lives in confusion.

In fact, the reason why Huo Hai wrote this article is to make people think about this issue.

Although it is said that kings, princes, generals and ministers are not of different species.

But after the dynasty stabilized, the nobles gradually felt that they were the talents and had noble status, and ordinary people had nothing to learn. What could ordinary people learn? What could they do?

This mindset has already taken shape and is deeply ingrained.

Also, after listening to “On Horses”, will people discover that they are indeed good horses, and then study hard and eventually become successful?
This article goes both ways.

The story of Bole and the Thousand-Li Horse is worthy of deep thought.

Huo Hai: "This article is called "On Horses"."

"Before I wrote about him, there was another story. Many people in the research institute were studying how to march secretly. One of the research directions was how to dig out a smokeless stove with a strong fire, which could be used for cooking while marching and not be discovered by the enemy on the grassland."

"There was a man who had a smokeless stove, and thick smoke billowed out."

Everyone laughed: "Hahahaha!"

Making a smokeless stove produces thick smoke, isn't that a waste?

Huo Hai: "I transferred him from the smokeless stove research group to the beacon tower communication research group."

The laughter at the scene stopped abruptly.

Everyone seemed to be strangled by the throat.

Yes, the smokeless stove produces thick smoke, which shows that he is not a talent in making smokeless stoves, but he is a talent in setting off beacons!
Know people and use them well!

Huo Hai smiled and said, "Zhang Zuo, this little guy, has a bad temper, is murderous, likes to speak without thinking, and doesn't respect others."

"But! I think he is very suitable to be an envoy."

"I will accept him as my student and send him to the Confucius Institute to learn foreign languages. He may become a famous envoy in the future, leaving his name in history and bringing honor to the family!"

Everyone was stunned.

Everyone knows that Zhang Zuo is a naughty kid.

But no one really realized that he was suitable to be an envoy.

But...others who serve as envoys only sacrifice themselves to seek benefits for the entire family and for the Han Dynasty.

But this Zhang Zuo is a descendant of Empress Lü! He is the one who should enjoy the benefits and the beneficiary of the entire family!

If he became an envoy...

However, everyone present felt that being an envoy was the best job, and if one could really be trained to become an envoy, that would be great!
Everyone feels that something is wrong, yet everyone also feels that everything is right.

Zhang Zuo, can't he become an envoy?

He has a bad temper, is easily angered, and is arrogant, making him the most suitable person to be an envoy. As long as he angers the enemy and the enemy kills him, we will send troops to occupy the other side... and take revenge.

cough cough.

Isn't it quite appropriate?
At the scene, only one person's expression changed.

Imperial Censor Zhang Ou immediately realized that Huo Hai was serious.

My strategy was broken!

Yes, Zhang Zuo is the last bloodline of Empress Lu and should be protected, and his noble position should not be lost.

But, if he became an envoy and dedicated his life to the Han Dynasty, what would be wrong? !

No noble would find anything wrong with this.

Even if it's a bloodline issue... at worst you can just give birth to a son before you go on the diplomatic mission, Zhang Zuo.

You can get married and have children at the age of thirteen, and it is not too late to go on a diplomatic mission at the age of fifteen.

Zhang Ou stared at Huo Hai. He didn't expect that his strategy would be broken so easily.

Huo Hai put away the paper on the stage and looked at the audience.

No matter what conspiracy or trickery you use, no matter how you mobilize anyone's emotions or stir up public opinion, you can't hinder an event.

That is to serve the country.

No matter what the reason, serving the country is always the right thing to do.

If you don't serve your country, everything is wrong.

In today's day and age, serving the country is an honor that must be fought for. Even the nobles who weigh the pros and cons behind the scenes cannot say that there is anything wrong with this.

Not only can't I say it, I can't even think about it.

Because the interests of the larger group are the foundation, everything else is internal conflict.

No matter how powerful the branch of Empress Lü is, they want the original share representative. That is also internal profit sharing. How can there be any profit sharing before the external interests are obtained?

After Huo Hai stepped down, many people felt that the way Huo Hai found for Zhang Zuo was a good one.

You see, I am the person who knows how to use talents and found a good home for Zhang Zuo. He now has to thank me.
