The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 25: Prepare for thieves

Today is different from the former Han Dynasty, the pavilion chief is not only responsible for the security of the "ben pavilion", but also responsible for some civil affairs.

On the first day of her tenure, Xun Zhen encountered the "Murder Case of Xu Zhong", which disturbed the county, and was busy with it for several days. According to the county's order, they sealed up Xu's family, detained Xu's mother, searched the pavilion, and hung Xu Zhong's portrait on the wall of the house. Now, the county lord's orders have been completed, and Xu Zhong has also seen it. Knowing that he will go to Yangzhai Huang's house, he can be safe in the short term, and he does not need to worry about his arrest. Xun Zhen suddenly relaxed and relaxed a lot.

Last night, I spent the night talking with Mother Xu, but he was young and could stay up all night without being sleepy. After eating in the morning, he sat under the Chinese table in the front yard, wondering if it was time to free up and do something else. ?

He calculated the harvest after coming to the pavilion, and thought: "I haven't been here for a long time, but I have a good understanding of the temperament of the people in the pavilion, and they respect me. The young chivalrous man is also not well-known, and he is slightly respected in Andingli and Nanpingli, which is regarded as a first-time prestige. The respectful old man is a believer of Taiping Dao, so we can't take it lightly, we should start the next step earlier."

Hua Biao is facing the courtyard gate of the pavilion.

Xun Zhen sat against the Huabiao and looked out of the house.

The sun is rising, and the farmers in the fields are busy. Many children followed and played in the fields.

Three or four little girls gathered on the opposite side of the road, kneading soil for rice, making some muddy water as soup, placing some wood and **** as meat, chatting and playing house games.

This game has a long history, Xun Zhen remembered that this game was described in "Han Feizi", and in his memory, children thousands of years later still like to play this game. Children grow up with adults, hear and hear, and learn to imitate family life, which is reasonable and interesting to watch.

Xun Zhen thought in her heart: "Qin Gan wants me to promote education and send all children to school. Although it is not realistic, it is indeed a good intention. Children's ability to imitate and learn quickly, they can learn by themselves without a teacher if they follow their parents. Learn to play at home; send it to school, if you can meet a good teacher, close to Zhu Zhechi, you will become a pillar of the country when you grow up."

However, although "promoting education" is also one of the duties of the pavilion, and if you do it well, you can get a good reputation, but for now, it is not a top priority.

He then pondered his "next step". His next step is to "organize the people and prepare for the thieves".

"The prestige has been established, you can prepare thieves, take advantage of the situation to gather people and build a team." This was one of his plans before he came, but now there is a problem, "If you organize the people, you must choose each ri People, and the respectful elders are full of Taiping Dao believers, how should we treat them?”

Respect for the elderly has the background of Taiping Dao, and always has a heart attack. When organizing preparations for bandits, how should we treat them?

The sun is shining, the wheat fields are green, and the children are playing happily. He put his elbow on the knee of his bent left leg, supported his chin with his hand, rubbed the stubble that appeared, and looked out of the house in a trance.

A burst of children's shouts came, and four or five children rode bamboo horses and ran past the courtyard gate.

Unlike girls who like to play house and house, boys like bamboo horses, playing flags, ranks and other games related to military activities. These few children riding bamboo horses are seven or eight years old as young as they are ten years old.

The first one seemed to be the oldest, about eleven or twelve years old. He beat a flag made of rags, carried it on a bamboo pole, and used it as a military flag. He rode a bamboo horse and ran in front of him while shouting a password. He led a group of people and turned a corner in front of the door of the pavilion, and rushed to the three or four little girls across the road in a majestic and arrogant manner. : "I'm the general! You still don't bow down and greet each other?"

The girls squatted on the ground and looked up at them, but they refused to sell their accounts, and no one paid any attention.

The "General" was immediately annoyed, waved the military flag, and ordered: "Throw their things!"

The "subordinates" swarmed up, some grabbed the wooden blocks, threw the dirt away, and some pushed the girl down. The powerful girl jumped up and wanted to fight them, the timid girl grinned and cried.

The cries caught the attention of the farmers in the distant fields, and two or three strong women rushed and yelled, "Little Laizi! People of twelve or three, they even lead children to play with bamboo horses! Bullying! What's your face? What? ..., don't run, let's see how I beat you!"

The "General" was not afraid of them, he laughed, waved the flag, and ordered: "Today's great defeat of the Qiang thieves, all the generals have credit. And when you return to the court, I will ask the emperor for you credit. Let's go, let's go. , Triumph!" and ran away with this group of boys giggling.

Xun Zhen smiled unconsciously.

"Five-year-old pigeon car, seven-year-old bamboo horse". Bamboo horses are usually played by children in their 78s and 10s. The leading "General" is 12 or 13 years old, and he is also playing with a large group of children. A strong woman scolded.

Because of this scene, Xun Zhen remembered an anecdote. When he was studying from Xun Qu, he heard him mention it, and he was talking about Tao Qian, a famous scholar in Danyang.

Tao Qian was so lonely and playful, until he was fourteen years old, and he brought all the children of the whole city to wear silk banners and rode bamboo horses to play, and was ridiculed by the villagers. However, his later father-in-law was very knowledgeable. He met him on the way. Seeing that his appearance was different from ordinary people, he stopped the car and talked to him. The conversation was very pleasant, thinking that he would become a great thing when he grew up, so he put Daughter married him.

Sure enough, when Tao Qian grew up, he was upright and disciplined. Shizhou County, Chu Maocai, and county magistrate rose to the top.

Thinking of this, he stood up, walked to the door of the pavilion, looked out, and saw that the group of boys on bamboo horses had already run away. Probably because he was afraid of being overtaken by those strong women, he ran too fast and didn't pay attention to the ground. The leading "General" tripped over the ridge and fell to the ground, ignoring the pain, got up and ran again. It made the people watching in the field burst into laughter.

Xun Zhen also laughed.

Tao Qian's later success was due to his own talents, but his father's old relationship and the support of his father-in-law could not be ruled out. Tao Qian's father was the magistrate of Yuyao, and his father-in-law was the prefect of Cangwu, both of whom were officials. The combination of the two aspects has made Tao Qian, but it does not mean that every playful child can become Tao Qian. UU reading www. uukanshu.com

He stood at the gate of the courtyard for a while, thinking to himself: "Children play without any scruples, so they are happy. Although Jing Lao has a background in Taiping Dao, it is still a few years before the Yellow Turban uprising. Of course, we need to be vigilant against them, but You don't have to be too careful. As far as compiling and training pirates, it's just like treating other gangs." Then he thought, "I didn't talk to them when I went to them last time. This time I can take advantage of gangsters' words. , go and find out about them."

Huang Zhong cleaned the front yard and the back yard, came over and asked him: "Xun Jun, what should Wu Gui do?" Like Du Mai, he only remembered Wu Gui today, and he was uneasy. He couldn't help it. Ming was asking how to deal with it, but he was alluding to what happened last night.

Xun Zhen had a plan for this last night.

After Wu Gui was locked in the pavilion, he didn't suffer much. He was only starved for two days and beaten twice. If it hadn't happened last night, it wouldn't matter if he let him go, but now he can't let it go.

"Xu Zhong hasn't been brought to justice yet, and Wu Gui doesn't report it. Let him be locked up for a few more days." Wu Gui has no relatives, and he has a bad reputation here. people questioned.

Huang Zhong was an old man, he hesitated to speak, sighed and said, "That's the only way." He asked Xun Zhen, "Master Xun, do you still want to inspect the pavilion today?"

"Yes, of course!"

Now that it has been decided to start the next step, "organizing the preparation of pirates", of course, it must be implemented immediately without delay. Xun Zhen said: "But before, I have something to discuss with you. Mr. Huang, please go and call Du Jun, and then call A Bao, A Yan and others. Let's go to the backyard to discuss matters."

"Preparing for bandits" is a major event, and it is related to the residents of Quanting. Huang Zhong, Du Mai, Chen Bao, Cheng Yan and others have been in the pavilion for a long time. They are familiar with the local situation and need to discuss with them.
