[The third update, ask for red tickets, collect]

Yesterday, Han Gang sold a pass, and did not say his plan. just left a sentence and asked Wang Shao and Wang Hou to wait for a day. Wang Shao can endure his temperament, but Wang Hou can't. Although he followed his father's example, he waited all night. But the next day, he couldn't help it anymore, so he wanted to go over to find Han Gang, intending to ask for an understanding.

Who knew that Han Gang didn't wait for Wang Hou to find it, so he took the initiative to come to the door. In Han Gang's hands, Wang Hou didn't see any tricks, but saw a man in his forties. The wrinkles on the man's face were like deep furrows, and there was dust between the ravines, a veritable gray face.

"Yukun, who is he?" Wang Hou asked in a low voice.

Han Gang asked rhetorically: "I don't know if Brother Dao has heard of the Tian family in Pizhou?" ”

"The Pizhou Tian family? I haven't heard of the big family surnamed Tian in Pizhou. Wang Hou lowered his head and thought for a long time, and finally remembered the Tian family's field in Pizhou, where is the 'Tian': "It's the Tian family who sells clay?!" He asked strangely, what does Han Gang's strategy have to do with the Tian family who are clay figures?

The clay figurines of the Tian family are indeed sold at a high price, a pair is often worth several guan, and a set of seven, that is, more than a dozen guan can be won, which is equivalent to the price of a few acres of land. Wang Hou once wanted to give a few to his younger siblings who stayed in his hometown of De'an, but after asking the price, he immediately dispelled the idea.

But no matter how high the price of the clay figurines is, it is impossible to have anything to do with what Han Gang said. Wang Hou immediately doubted his guess, shook his head and said, "It can't be the clay man Tian family." ”

"No, what the little brother is talking about is the clay man field in Pizhou." Han Gang stretched out his hand to Wang Shao and Wang Hou to introduce: "This Tian member is a distant branch of the Tian family in Pizhou. ”

"Tian Ji visited Wang Guanren, Wang Xiaoguanren." Tian Ji stepped forward and saluted Wang Shao and Wang Hou.

Wang Shao didn't see anything unusual on his face, he knew that Han Gang would not joke about business. Han Gang brought Tian Ji over, it must be of great use. owed a debt, and motioned for Tian Ji to sit down and speak.

Wang Hou looked at Tian Ji a few more deeply. is still a forty-year-old village farmer who is honestly afraid, there is nothing special about it horizontally and vertically, and the clothes on his body should be expensive. Hearing Han Gang call him a field member, it is obvious that he has some net worth.

But what does this have to do with the problems Wang Shao is facing?

"Ji Yi and Brother Chu Dao still remember Chunniu, right? In the past ten years, the spring cattle used for spring worship every year have been made by the field members. Han Gang sat down and continued to introduce Tian Ji. He believed that Wang Shao and Wang Hou could remember the spring cattle at the Lichun Festival.

Wang Hou recalled that he saw the sacrificial spring cattle in the south of the city a few months ago, and after being robbed by the people, there were only a few pieces of soil left. But Wang Hou still didn't understand why Han Gang brought Tian Ji to mention this matter?

"Yukun, don't sell it, hurry up." Wang Hou urged, he was impatient. Although Wang Shao didn't say it, his slightly forward posture also revealed the impatience in his heart.

Han Gang smiled and uncovered the mystery: "Yesterday Han Gang already said that if you want the Son of Heaven to believe in the right words, you must let the Son of Heaven understand the geography of Qinzhou better. However, Ji Yi also said that it is not possible to use a map, the Son of Heaven may not be able to understand it, and it is impossible to distinguish between mountains and valleys on the map. Therefore, to see things for the Son of Heaven, it must be intuitive and clear, easy to understand, and clear at a glance. ”

Wang Hou was suddenly startled, pointed to Tian Ji, who was good at sculpture, and asked Han Gang with his mouth open: "What does Yukun mean?" ”

"Yukun is planning to use clay to sculpt a map of a city with mountains, rivers and rivers?" Wang Shao asked slowly.

Han Gang nodded, all he had to do was the sand table. Although Han Gang didn't know whether the practical sand table of Lu Dao had appeared now, and the prototype of the sand table could be found in the history books, he could be sure that at least there was no one on Qin Feng Road.

"Reappear the Qinzhou Mountains, Rivers, Cities, and Passes on the table and present them in front of the Son of Heaven, presumably the Son of Heaven will no longer be confused by the slanderous words of Dou Shunqing's generation."

After Han Gang explained his thoughts, he recommended Tian Ji to Wang Shao and his son, "But if you want to do this, you have to do it outside the field." On the day of the beginning of spring, a clay cow was shaped like the real thing. Such a plastic worker is the best choice for making sand tables. ”

If you want to make the sand table so that it can attract the Son of Heaven, it is impossible to rely on a layman like Han Gang in terms of technique, and you have to find an expert to do it. When Han Gang started to make a sand table yesterday, the first thing that came to mind was the craftsman who carved the spring cow vividly.

Although it is only a distant branch of the Pizhou clay man field, the field skills are not under his own family, and he is also rich in craftsmanship. Ordinary is also known as a field member. But how can Tian Yuanwai compare to Tian Guanren? Han Gang went directly to the door last night, talked to Tian Ji, and promised, "Li Ding, a Tibetan man, offered a crossbow, and the official family personally nominated him as a god arm bow, and Li Ding also won the official because of this." If Tian Yuanwai can handle this matter well, his merit is not under the bow of the divine arm, and he must not be an official. ”

Tian Ji caught the hook for Han Gang like this, and Wang Shao also nodded when he heard Han Gang say it in front of him, "The merit of this matter is definitely not under the bow of the divine arm, if Tian Ji you do this matter well with your heart, this official will protect you as an official." ”

One is Han Gang, who wiped out the Chen Ju clan without much effort, and the other is Wang Shao, who made the general of the capital to have a stroke of the treasure, both of whom are extravagant figures in Qinzhou City. They all made promises, and Tian Ji had no reason not to believe it.

That night, after receiving Han Gang's guidance and Wang Shao's private collection of Qinzhou maps, Tian Ji stayed at Wang Shao's house, and sent people home to get tools and customary soft clay, and hurried to work with candles. Early the next morning, I brought out a prototype for him.

On the three-foot square wooden board, the appearance of the mountains and rivers of Qinzhou is molded with soft clay, whether it is Weishui borrowing water, or Qinling Liupan, or Qinzhou Prefecture City, and the edge of the hundred villages, all of which have been marked on the sand table - Wang Shao and Wang Hou have traveled all over Qinzhou and abroad in the past two years, and they are the supervisors, but the correctness of this sand table is higher than any map.

Wang Shao stood in front of the sand table, leaned down and looked down, taking a look at the mountains and rivers. He smiled at Han Gang and said: "Zulong 'uses mercury as a hundred rivers and seas, starving each other, with astronomy and geography', now there is no need to ask Zulong, just look at the three feet in front of him, it is a corner of the river and mountains." ”

Han Gang replied: "Ma Fubo 'gathers rice for the valley, points to the situation, shows the roads and paths from which the armies come and go, analyzes the twists and turns, and it is clear that it is clear', so Guangwu said, 'Captured in my eyes'." ”

Wang Shao twisted his beard and smiled: "If this is presented to the Son of Heaven, it will be in the eyes of the Son of Heaven." He said to Tian Ji who was standing on the side, "It's also thanks to Tian Ji you, otherwise, it wouldn't have gone so well." ”

Tian Ji worked hard all night and was exhausted, but when he heard Wang Shao's praise, he immediately perked up and thanked him: "More officials praise him." Then he sighed again, "But clay sculptures are not easy to carve, and some details are difficult to shape." It is best to make it with beeswax mixed with wood chips. ”

When Wang Shao heard this, he turned his head and glanced at Han Gang. Han Gang nodded knowingly, "I'll go get both of these today." ”

"Better find more." Wang Shao reminded.

"Han Gang understands." He nodded. This three-foot sand table is just a preliminary template to see the effect. If you want to impress the Son of Heaven, you must make a more elaborate sand table.

Han Gang believed that as long as the beautifully made sand table was sent to Zhao Ji, Dou Shunqing would not believe anything Zhao Ji said. No words or words are more convincing than physical objects.

For what kind of work report Han Gang made in another era, all changed from documents to slides? It's not because charts are more intuitive than text. It is difficult to win a war of words, but changing to a more intuitive sand table model will give Zhao Shao a refreshing feeling, and greatly enhance the credibility of Wang Shao's words.

"This time I made a sand table for the Son of Heaven to compete with Dou Shunqing, but the bigger use of the sand table is for the generals. In every aspect, the sandbox is more useful than the map. Even if he only saw the trial works, Wang Shao could already determine what kind of help he would bring to the generals.

"That's what Ji Yi said. However, in order to give the Son of Heaven a royal view, there are some places that need to be emphasized again. For example, the valley on this side of Guwei should be a little bigger......"

"Yukun!" Wang Hou was shocked when he heard this, "The valley where Gu Wei is located is not so big!" ”

"Second brother, you have to know Lu Dao, this is for the Son of Heaven to see. Let the Son of Heaven know how long the river is from Weiyuan to Qinzhou, and how geometric the land on both sides of the river bank ......"

Wang Shao didn't continue, but Wang Hou understood. What is shown to the emperor is not the same as what is shown to the general. To show the Son of Heaven is to get his support, of course, there must be a trade-off in the content, and to show the generals, it is to win the battle, and it must be accurate.

In fact, in order to make the sand table standard and consistent with reality, it is necessary to draw the contour map. But Han Gang only has a very superficial understanding of this, although it is the basis of the sand table model, but if he doesn't know the way, he doesn't know the way, so he can only think about it slowly in the future. It's just like a recital, anyway, it doesn't matter if it's true or not, the key is to be convincing.

These words are understood in each heart, but they cannot be spoken. Wang Hou smiled knowingly, and watched Tian Ji modify it according to Han Gang's meaning.

"This sand table is still a little smaller, and only a little bigger can people see it clearly." Han Gang demanded that the sand table should not be small, and if it was too small, it would not reflect the existence of Wang Shao's thousands of acres of wasteland.

"But it's too big to transport, and it's bumpy all the way, and it's already broken down when it arrives in Tokyo City." Wang Hou shook his head and said.

"That's easy, split into pieces. After being sent to the ground, they are put together piece by piece. Tian Ji worked hard to come up with an idea, "It's a big deal to make two more sets, and when I get to Tokyo, I will pick up the ones that are not broken and put them together." ”

"It's best for Tian Yuanwai to go to Beijing with the sand table." Han Gang said to Wang Hou, "It's inconvenient for Ji Yihe to leave his post without permission, but Brother Dao can walk away." It is better to let Brother Chu Dao escort the leaders of the Tuoshuo Department to Tokyo to sacrifice prisoners, and by the way, send this sand table with Tian Yuanwai. ”

"Yukun, this is your credit, do you really want to give it to the second brother?"

"Brother Chu Dao and Zai Xia are not reluctant to share each other."

"Yukun!" Wang Hou was extremely moved.

Wang Shao said with a long smile: "Yukun's credit can't be taken, after the sand table template, engrave the names of Yukun and Tian Ji, so that no one can take it away." However, let the second brother also attach a name, and it is good to be polished. ”
