Volume Four, Volume 13, Dragons and Tigers in Spring and Autumn Chapter 1413 Branch
No matter how turbulent there is outside, Luoyang is still calm in April...≦
Luoyang is actually a bit heavier in history than Chang'an. It is the old place of Shang and Zhou dynasties, the starting point of Chinese civilization, and part of the Silk Road of the Han Dynasty.
In the Tang Dynasty, it finally came to its peak season and became known as the capital of God.
Unlike Chang'an, its geographical location does have some advantages, with north-south convergence and east-west integration, and the Sui and Tang Canals also converge here.
In terms of economy and culture, other capitals are probably inferior.
But then again, because it is in the world, it becomes the so-called place where military strategists must fight for each other in war, causing great damage to this thousand-year-old capital.
To this day, the scenic spots of the Tang Dynasty are no longer heard, let alone the ruins of the Han Dynasty. Most of them are only ruins left, and of course, more are destroyed in the torrent of history and no longer seen.
Now, Luoyang has only less than 80,000 households left, which is just a fraction of the peak season.
As spring was in full bloom, a group of people slowly passed through the main gate of Luoyang Xicheng and left Luoyang City.
Near the city gate, there is a porridge shed.
The ragged people gathered near the porridge shed, waiting for the porridge to be put on. When they saw the group of people in fresh clothes and angry horses coming, they all hurriedly hid on the side of the road.
The number of hunger people is increasing, which is just a microcosm of the Heluo land.
Winter has passed, and the people of Heluo are facing the most severe test.
Zhao Shi looked around with expressionless face, looking at the hungry people who helped the elderly and Europe, and did not make him feel any compassion.
After the war, this was the case. He had seen more and had long regarded it as normal.
Compared with the Han people in the east of Hebei and under the rule of the Jin people, who were wailing for countless years, the people in the Heluo area were obviously too comfortable...
After this chaos, it is not a bad thing for the rule of the Qin Dynasty.
After the chaos, people feel at ease, and no one is born to be a shameless person. He thinks about ways to get along with himself.
But in the eyes of Bao Yong, who was with Zhao Shi, the people of Heluo were just a bunch of bad bones.
It has been almost ten years since the Qin army entered Heluo. Not to mention that the Qin army did not commit any crimes at the beginning of the year, but after that, they were also very tolerant of the people of Heluo.
But when it comes to the forefront, the people of Heluo stabbed hard behind the Qin army, and now they still have to rely on the Qin Dynasty to survive. What if they are not a bad bone?
If Zhao Shi is just indifferent, Bao Yong is very disliked by the hungry people in Heluo.
However, Bao Yong glanced at Zhao Shi and felt a little uneasy because he knew what this spring meant to Heluo.
This year, people here in Heluo will have a hard time.
No matter how generous the court is, it will not do its best to help the hungry people in Heluo. Could it be that they will be able to eat and drink enough, and then turn the table up again?
However, as a general in the army, Bao Yong was not very concerned about this matter. He has gone to many things he has to worry about now.
First of all, at the banquet that welcomed Duke Jin, Duke Jin praised him in public, which made him ignorant for a long time.
It was so sudden that his position was a total of 108,000 miles apart from the Duke of Jin. I never expected that he would not only meet Duke of Jin himself, but also receive this honor...
If he serves in Hezhong and Hedong, he will be praised by the general in person and will be able to rise to the top in the future, it will be no problem.
But... this is Heluo. He is not the confidant of General Zhang, but he is also part of Wei Huaide and Wei Jianjun. The reason why he was safe and sound after the battle of Yanshi was due to Wei Huaide's good words in front of the general.
The Great General Zhao Shi is indeed a towering tree, but not everyone can lean on it.
The entanglement is here. It is appreciated by General Zhao. For him, the pros and cons are really hard to say.
What worries him the most was that General Zhao Shichu entered Heluo and everyone didn't understand what he had made. If he wanted to interfere in Heluo's military affairs and win over the hearts of the people, then he would not know how to live his life in Heluo in the future.
Once General Zhang is annoyed... the power struggle in the army never pays attention to gentle wind and drizzle, and listens to thunder in silence. At his level like him, he only needs to find a reason during the war, and the process of losing his head will be particularly straightforward.
What worries him even more was that afterwards, General Zhang Peixian personally sent an order to follow him to Duke Jin, called him a guard but actually a guide.
He was really frightened by the two generals.
He understood that his current situation was a bit too dangerous.
Following General Zhao Shi, the Jin Guild may regard him as a spy. If he cannot repay General Zhao's words and deeds, then General Zhang will also regard him as a traitor.
He still doesn't understand why he suddenly fell to such a point.
But under the gaze of those two pairs of high-ranking eyes, he really had no choice but to accompany Duke Jin carefully.
Today, the Duke of Jin seemed to be in good spirits and wanted to visit the Guowujian Branch located in the west of Luoyang City.
Luoyang Guowu Supervisory Branch... Bao Yong had a headache when he thought about it. He burned a lot of fire. He is still the supervisor of the reconstruction of Guowu Supervisory Supervisory.
If the Chang'an National Martial Arts Supervision was the face of Duke Jin, then the Luoyang National Martial Arts Supervision was similar to the General Zhang Peixian.
Now the face of Duke Jin is well preserved, while General Zhang's face is messed up.
When Duke Jin wants to go there and take a look, isn’t this obviously slapping General Zhang in the face?
He reported this matter directly, but did not hear the reply, so he could only lead the Duke of Jin to the west of Luoyang City with trepidation.
In fact, his concerns were a bit unnecessary.
People like Zhao Shi and Zhang Peixian will not completely tear their faces if they are not necessary.
That's how it is now. Since the two first met and talked, they have never met and had a deep conversation alone.
Zhao Shi knew that Zhang Peixian was still hesitant... Zhang Peixian was so tempted by this and delayed, which made Zhao Shi increasingly bored.
Just like now, this is a difficult problem that Zhang Peixian has thrown over. Zhao Shi didn't know whether Zhang Peixian wanted him to help the reconstruction of the Luoyang National Military Superintendent, or did he say a few good words about this matter in the court and put out a fig leaf for General Zhang.
But General Zhang brought up the matter, and Zhao Shi still patiently and took it.
However, this feeling was really not very comfortable. When Zhao Shi replied to Zhang Peixian, he also revealed his dissatisfaction.
In fact, Zhang Peixian was also confused when he was old. In such a matter, it caused great dissatisfaction with Zhao Shi, which was almost unnecessary. In many things afterwards, he never received Zhao Shi's support, which was not worth the loss.
But whether it is for the sake of his own dignity, for testing, or even for giving himself more time to consider, Zhang Peixian did this.
The two generals have no way to know the open and secret struggles, and there is no way for outsiders to know about Bao Yong's grade, so he can only think about it by himself.
Soon, the stone tablet of the Luoyang Guowujian Branch appeared in everyone's sight.
Zhao Shi was not ignorant of Luoyang Guomart Supervision Branch. On the contrary, he had always heard news about Luoyang Guomart Supervision Branch from time to time, and was more familiar with this place than many people.
In Zhao Shi's view, the Luoyang Guowujian Branch is more like a college, but it is just named Guowujian.
Most of the students recruited here are from the nephews of the Qin generals. Of course, General Zhang brought in the children of the Heluo clan in order to appease the Heluo clan. This was also the main cause of the civil strife in the Luoyang Guowu Supervisory Branch last year.
With a kind heart, Zhang Peixian's face was almost swollen, but I have to say that this is really a funny thing.
Zhao Shi could almost understand Zhang Peixian's embarrassment, but understanding is one thing, cleaning up the mess is another.
Zhang Peixian is famous and his original intention of establishing the Luoyang Guowujian Branch was actually not right.
And there were no obvious places to see the origin of the students who were admitted later.
In the past decade, Luoyang Guowujian Branch has only existed as the face of General Zhang Peixian and has little practical significance.
Many young people practice literature and martial arts here, but the young people who come out of here can only be said to be a group of scholars who can play with swords and guns.
At that time, some people came to Chang'an Guowu Supervisory Commission and built the Luoyang Guowu Supervisory Branch. But to be honest, it has a strong color as the Imperial College. General Zhang took this into consideration and gained a good reputation among the Imperial College literati.
Of course, the Luoyang Guowujian Branch is still well-known in Heluo. After all, there is a general here who is the mountain chief. In this regard, it is very similar to the Chang'an Guowujian. Many people send their children and nephews to prison. The picture is probably just a false name for a general's disciple.
However, after all, no matter what kind of virtue the Luoyang Guowu Supervisory Branch is, there was still the shadow of Zhao Shi in it at the beginning, but this time he did not do it himself.
In Zhao Shi's view, the appearance of the Luoyang Guowujian Branch was to prepare for the future. Only Zhang Peixian, who was also a general, had this motivation and power to set up the Luoyang Guowujian Branch.
The facts proved that it was not satisfactory, but there was nothing to complain about. Although Zhao Shi’s own military surveillance was prosperous, there were still many coincidences in it. If the Tiger Martial Arts and Victory Army had not appeared, the Chang'an Martial Arts and Victory Army might not be much better than the Luoyang Martial Arts and Victory Army.
