Chapter 1214: Travel
It has been seven or eight months since Xiahou Xuan arrived in Bingzhou, and when Fang Bu escorted him back to Jinyang, Xiahou Xuan really had a feeling of escaping death, and when he saw Cao Liang, he was full of emotion.
If Cao Liang hadn't come to the rescue, at this moment, Xiahou Xuan would have become a ghost under Sima Shi's sword.
Li Feng and Zhang Ji were tragically killed, hundreds of his subordinates were buried with him, and thousands were exiled to Hexi.
Hearing this news, Xiahou Xuan couldn't help but be in a trance, in fact, he had already walked around from the ghost gate, Sima Shi knew their actions well, Li Feng Zhang Ji even if he made waves, he could not escape Sima Shi's claws, so the fate of failure was already doomed, and Sima Shi wanted to kill nothing more than himself, in this power struggle, he could only be a victim in the end.
When the time of trouble, he saw the truth, and at the critical time, Cao Liang was not afraid of hardships and dangers, rescued by the tiger's mouth, and brought Xiahou Xuan's family of three to Bingzhou safely, such a friend is a real friend, and he has this best friend in his life, Xiahou Xuan feels that this life is worth it.
Cao Liang did not arrange any official position for Xiahou Xuan, and after staying in Jinyang for a few days, Cao Liang proposed to let Xiahou Xuan go out to travel to relieve his boredom. Of course, the scope of travel was limited to Youzhou, a state under Cao Liang's rule.
Xiahou Xuan did not brush off Cao Liang's kindness, although deep down he still hoped that Cao Liang could give him an official and a half position, this was not that Xiahou Xuan had any desire to be an official, but that he wanted to do his part to help Cao Liang, and he was very grateful, Xiahou Xuan felt that he could take out his ability, even if he started from the smallest county guard, he had to repay Cao Liang's kindness.
But Cao Liang asked him to go out to travel, and Xiahou Xuan couldn't refuse, so he could only accept it.
This trip was not a one-man trip for Xiahou Xuan, Cao Liang equipped him with a team of hundreds of people, including guards, engaged in and assistants, such a battle did not lose Xiahou Xuan's identity at all.
The route of the tour has been arranged in advance, from Jinyang to the south, straight to Hedong, then around to Shangdang, and then all the way to the north, through Leping to Yanmen County, straight to Youzhou, and as far as Liaodong, and finally back to Jinyang.
This trip will pass through all the states and counties under Cao Liang's rule, everywhere he goes, let Xiahou Xuan is eye-opening, he appreciates, not just the scenery along the way, see more of the people's customs and people's feelings, under Cao Liang's governance, Heqing Haiyan, the people live and work in peace and contentment, the so-called peaceful and prosperous times, but so.
Bingzhou and Youzhou, in Xiahou Xuan's eyes, these are all bitter and barren places, it should be rampant bandits, rampant Hu people, and the people are not making a living, but the scene of prosperity and happiness in Guotai and the people in front of him made Xiahou Xuan also in a trance, making him suspect that he had returned to the rich land of the Central Plains.
Oh, no, even in the rich land of the Central Plains, there can be no such peace and tranquility, where there are homeless people and beggars, and the so-called wealth is only that the rich are rich, and the poor are still poor.
And in the state, there is no such phenomenon at all, there are no homeless people, there are no beggars, the people live and work in peace and contentment, the family has more than Qing, and there is no place where the heroes are rampant in the township, and the people are really peaceful and prosperous that everyone expects.
Although the situation in Youzhou is worse than that in Youzhou, the order in Youzhou is being restored, and the intensive cultivation method that has been promoted in Youzhou for many years is also vigorously promoted in Youzhou, and the results are remarkable in the first year, and I believe that the life of the people in Youzhou will get better and better.
This is completely a great achievement, Cao Liang solved, not only the people's livelihood problems of the two states, this is simply a model for all states and counties in the world, if Cao Liang's governance methods can be extended to the world, it is definitely the well-being of the people in the world.
Back in Jinyang, Xiahou Xuan couldn't wait to see Cao Liang, Cao Liang personally set up a banquet for Xiahou Xuan, and said with a smile: "How about it, can Brother Tai Chu gain anything from this trip?" ”
Xiahou Xuan said excitedly: "Eye-opening, eye-opening!" Ziming, you are really amazing, and the people of Youerzhou are rich and prosperous, and Qinghai Yan, this kind of change is simply earth-shaking. ”
Cao Liang smiled faintly and said: "It's nothing, as long as you have the people in your heart, you can naturally do everything well." Mencius has clouds, the people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light, but unfortunately this sentence has been just talking for hundreds of years, no one really takes it seriously, if we in power can really think about the people, there will be no poverty in the world. ”
When Xiahou Xuanzhi heard this, he fell into deep contemplation, and in the middle of the sound, he got up, bowed to Cao Liang, and said: "Listen to your words, it is better to read for ten years, before I was just obsessed with metaphysics, thinking that it is noble learning, is the foundation of governing the country, and now I understand how ridiculous this is, metaphysics is empty talk, can not save the country, can only mislead the country." In the past six months, I have traveled to many counties and counties, only to know that hard work can prosper the country, Ziming, in this regard, you are my teacher, please accept the students' worship. ”
Cao Liang smiled and said: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, Tai Chu brother is full of experience and outstanding knowledge, how dare the younger brother get an axe." ”
Xiahou Xuan said solemnly: "If you are a threesome, you must have my teacher, and you can really be my teacher." I'm in a hurry to come back this time, but I have a reluctant request, and I hope Ziming can agree? ”
Cao Liang sighed and said, "Brother Taichu, you and I are friends of life and death, and if you have something to say, you can speak bluntly." ”
Xiahou Xuan said: "This time I traveled all over the country, I have learned a lot, and I also invited Ziming to be an official position, preferably to be the guardian of a county, and I also want to personally practice the way of governing the Ming Dynasty." ”
Cao Liang smiled and said nothing, Xiahou Xuan was a little anxious, and said: "If there is no vacancy in the position of Taishou, the order of a county can also be done, so idle for a long time, I really want to find something to do." ”
Cao Liang smiled and said: "Brother Tai Chu is a big material, the order of a county, the guard of a county, how can he be worthy of the identity of Brother Tai Chu, isn't this a pearl secret investment?" This time, the younger brother deliberately arranged for Brother Tai Chu to travel to the counties and counties, which lasted for half a year, in fact, he wanted Brother Tai Chu to have a detailed understanding of the various places in Bingzhou and Youzhou, so as to facilitate Brother Tai Chu to perform his duties. ”
"Duty?" Xiahou Xuan was a little puzzled, this trip, Cao Liang did not reveal anything in advance, but asked him to look around, there was no substantive task, and now it seems that Cao Liang has another important use for him, but now there are no vacancies in the history of the state and the history of the Youzhou assassin, Xiahou Xuan really doesn't know what position Cao Liang will arrange for himself.
