Chapter 496 I Am Fa Xiaozhi! [Seeking Monthly Votes]
In Chang'an City, the intelligence center.
Jia Xu sat on the ergonomic chair given by Li Yu, unscrewed the thermos cup and took a sip of tea. He looked up at the young man standing upright in front of him and asked:
"Bo Miao, what do you think is the significance of sending a mission to an enemy country?"
The young man was Deng Zhi and Deng Bomiao who came from Xinye. After a few days of familiarity, he finally adapted to the life in Chang'an City and learned a lot of modern knowledge.
Today, he finally met Jia Wenhe, the man behind the Han Empire.
After hearing Jia Xu's question, Deng Zhi recalled a series of historical allusions related to envoys such as "Yan Zi's Envoy to Chu", "Zhang Qian's Departure from the Fortress", "Su Wu Shepherds Sheep", "Tang Ju Fulfilled His Mission", and then replied:
"Under the premise of not humiliating our country, we can achieve the court's intention."
It's still too conservative... Jia Xu screwed on the lid of the thermos cup and said slowly:
"What you said is just the most basic. Even if you are not a diplomat, but just a businessman, when you arrive in the enemy's country, you must still maintain an integrity that is neither humble nor arrogant."
After speaking, he stood up, pointed to the Eurasian map hanging behind his back and said:
"My personal understanding of envoys is very simple. When the country is weak, we seek peace; when the country is strong, we promote kingship...Besides the Han Dynasty, there is still vast land waiting for us to conquer and cultivate, but our military strength is limited. It is unrealistic to directly send a large army to sweep away, and it is also a waste of force. Someone needs to find out the details of the enemy country in advance, so that we can send troops in a targeted manner. "
Deng Zhi understood now:
"The envoy also needs to collect intelligence on the enemy country, find out the state of the country's strength, and point out the direction for the army... Mr. Wenhe, is my understanding correct?"
"Yes, but you can't just collect intelligence, you must also have a keen sense of fighter aircraft. To put it simply, a diplomat must be able to fight, understand intelligence, be able to draw, and be good at analysis... Now that the war is about to stop, you first go to the Secrecy Bureau. I will train with Guo Fengxiao for a while, and then go to Xun Gongda to learn military strategy in the spring of next year.”
In order to cultivate excellent diplomats for the Han Dynasty, Lao Jia planned to let Deng Zhi train in various fields such as intelligence, law, military, and economy, and accumulate some military merits, and then he could officially start his diplomatic career.
As he was talking, Guo Jia came upstairs with a cigarette in his mouth, said hello to Wei Xu at the door, and then opened the door and walked into Jia Xu's office.
"Fengxiao came just in time. I plan to arrange for Bomiao to go to the Secrecy Bureau for some training. You two can have a chat."
Jia Xu didn't like the smell of smoke, so he got up and opened the window.
But he did not stop Guo Jia from smoking. After all, after leaving the world of the Three Kingdoms, the burden of intimidating officials would fall on Guo Jia's shoulders.
Guo Jia wisely put out the cigarette butt, looked at Deng Zhi up and down, and asked with a warm face:
"Are you still used to living in Chang'an?"
"I'm used to it. General Cheng Lian took great care of our family and gave us a lot of daily necessities."
"Are there many clansmen in Xinye's hometown?"
"With a population of about a thousand, it is the most populous family in Xinye."
"How much farmland is there, and is there enough food to eat?"
"The entire Deng clan has never thought of it. Our family has a thousand acres of land, several cattle, and about five or six thousand kilograms of grain surplus every year. All of them were donated by my father to the Deng clan."
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, when aristocratic families rose, they helped and supported each other within the family. They used their official positions to flatter each other, exchange benefits, accumulate political resources, and pave the way for the family.
The system of promoting filial piety and honesty established in the early Han Dynasty has become a tool for aristocratic families to help each other. You praise my children for their abilities, and I praise your children for their sincerity. Then suddenly, both parties have official status, and the family can continue. .
After some pleasantries, Deng Zhi was full of affection for Guo Jia.
He felt that this young man, who was only a few years older than him, was as cordial and enthusiastic as a big brother. He did not have an obvious sense of alienation like Mr. Wen He, nor was he as majestic as other courtiers.
Although he didn't know Zhancha Kungfu just now, he was like an old friend for many years. No matter what he said, Guo Fengxiao could give a positive response.
Working with such amiable people is truly a blessing in life!
Just as he was thinking about it, Guo Jia sat on the sofa next to him and said seriously:
"Deng Zhi, named Bo Miao, is seventeen years old this year. He is a direct descendant of the Deng family. He was once engaged to a wealthy family in Jingzhou, but the engagement was annulled later, so he broke off the relationship... Zhi's father is the head of the Deng family, and he is kind-hearted. He takes great care of his people and has a spirit of sacrifice. If I were a local bandit and used people from the Deng clan to threaten Father Zhi, I would definitely be able to get a lot of food. "
Jia Xu nodded approvingly:
"For those who have a spirit of sacrifice, they must accurately grasp their weak points and threaten them to get twice the result with half the effort... Bo Miao, through the chat just now, how much do you know about Fengxiao?"
Deng Zhi:? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Wasn't this just an ordinary greeting among colleagues?
Why do you collect information in complete sets?
Thinking of the conversation between the two, Guo Jia was very easy-going. He first looked for topics about food and accommodation, and then gradually talked about the Xinye Deng family. He thought he had met his close brother and revealed all his family wealth.
As for Guo Jia... He didn't seem to say anything, he just kept chatting along his own topic. No wonder the more he talked, the more speculative he became!
Thinking that Jia Xu had just emphasized that diplomats should pay attention to intelligence, Deng Zhi laughed at himself and bowed to Jia Xu and Guo Jia respectively:
"Thanks to these two gentlemen, Zhi has been taught a lesson!"
Guo Jia laughed:
"No need to be so formal, I'm just joking with you. Haven't you eaten yet? Brother Facai opened a mutton soup restaurant at the gate of the palace. Let's go. While Brother Facai hasn't come back from Hedong yet, I'll take you there for a meal. Just treat it as a welcome for you."
Deng Zhi: "..."
On the first day of work, you're learning to eat and drink for free?
Seeing that he was a little bit hesitant, Guo Jia said:
"If you want to get intelligence, you can't be too rigid. Why aren't you as lively as Xiao Ma Dai? You need more practice. How about this, in the afternoon you pretend to be a new instructor and give a class to the students of the Military Academy. Do you dare to try it?"
Deng Zhi opened his mouth, a little bit unable to keep up with Guo Jia's rhythm.
I always feel that this way of getting intelligence is completely different from what I imagined.
He asked hesitantly:
"It's easy to be attacked by a group, right?"
Guo Jia laughed:
"You treat them as those small countries in the Western Regions. If you can form alliances and not be attacked by them, you will be the next Ban Dingyuan!"
Ban Chao led 36 people to the Western Regions and wiped out 50 countries in the Western Regions from the map in 20 years, leaving only the Western Regions Chief Secretary's Office.
Such a great achievement was made without spending a single soldier of the Han Dynasty. No wonder such a great man was written about by the historian.
Hearing this, Deng Zhi's blood boiled.
Seeing that the time was almost right, Guo Jia patted him on the shoulder and said:
"Mr. Wenhe will have an intelligence meeting in ten minutes. Let's go and have some mutton soup. A bowl in the middle of winter is so comfortable... Bo Miao has tasted mutton chili, right? You should eat more, it's good for your health."
After the two left, Jia Xu closed the window, took the thermos bottle to refill the thermos cup, and went to the meeting room downstairs to start summarizing the intelligence from all over the place.
The first thing to discuss is Sun Jian's death in Jiangxia.
Lu Bu's response plan was correct. When the court's focus was on the north and Yizhou, he let Sun Ce muddy the water first, and when the army marched south, no matter whether it was a local snake or a dragon crossing the river, they would all be cleaned up.
At the gate of the intelligence center, Guo Jia got on the police patrol car driven by Ma Dai and explained to Deng Zhi:
"This car is supported by Mr. Li in the real world. It can run after charging. The disadvantage is that it has low horsepower and slow speed. It can only be used for patrolling in the city."
Deng Zhi has seen many similar cars in the past two days, but today is the first time to ride. It feels stable and fast, much better than an ox cart.
Guo Jia couldn't sit still. He first lit a Furongwang and took a deep breath, then picked up the walkie-talkie and contacted Li Yan:
"Brother Zhengfang, what are you busy with?"
"I am studying law with Mr. Xiaoxian. What do you want from Mr. Fengxiao?"
Li Yan is both civil and military, so Jia Xu did not let him take classes at the military academy, but followed Mao Jie to sort out various legal provisions to deepen his understanding of the law, so as to avoid doing things that ignore the overall situation in the future.
Guo Jia said:
"Come to the mutton soup restaurant, let's have a meal together. Ask Xiaoxian what he wants to eat, and bring him some later."
After Li Yan agreed, Guo Jia turned to Deng Zhi and said:
"You just came to Chang'an, don't just think about studying, eat and play, ask if you don't understand anything, it's not too late to study after you adapt to the life in Chang'an."
If you want to make a name for yourself in Chang'an, you must first try to adapt and integrate. Once you are familiar with this place, you will learn more efficiently and with great efficiency.
When they arrived at the mutton soup restaurant, Guo Jia said to the waiter in the store:
"Give me three big bowls of mutton offal, ten sesame sesame cakes, and three pounds of mutton with sauce, and add more garlic paste."
"Okay, it's coming right away."
Soon, the mutton offal, sesame cakes, and cooked mutton were all brought over.
Deng Zhi asked in a low voice:
"Mr. Fengxiao, can we really eat and drink for free?"
"Yes, Brother Facai didn't open this shop to make money, but just to make it convenient for everyone to have a meal after the morning court... Eat quickly, when Li Yan comes, there will be no sesame cakes and mutton left, they will all be snatched up."
However, when the three of them finished eating, Li Yan did not show up, but the intercom on the table rang:
"I'm sorry, Mr. Fengxiao, I can't go to this meal today. There is information from Meiwu, and Mr. Xiaoxian and I have to go there. I'm really sorry, I will treat you alone next time."
Guo Jia drank the last mouthful of soup in the bowl, and then asked:
"What happened? Do we need to dispatch our secret service?"
"No, there is a young man who went to Meiwu to make trouble, saying that according to the newly promulgated land use regulations of the court, the land occupied by Meiwu needs to be compensated to the people."
Guo Jia was happy:
"Wow, there are still people complaining about this?"
"It's not complaining, it's that our legal provisions don't have the years written in them, and they just pointed it out... The trial version of the land use regulations was hastily pushed out to deal with the noble families. Now someone points out the mistakes, which is a good thing."
The land use regulations were pushed out by Liu Xie after praying for rain, and the purpose was to take back the land of the noble families, so this is a legal provision that shoots arrows first and then draws the target.
I didn't expect that no one from the noble families would find fault with it, but some people started to plead for the people by taking advantage of the regulations.
Guo Jia thought this person was quite interesting and said with a smile:
"See if this person is an official. If he is, transfer him to Chang'an. If not, recruit him... The court is in need of talents now, and no talent can be missed."
"Yes!"
After the call, Guo Jia packed up the remaining sesame cakes and mutton and gave them to Deng Zhi to carry, and then give them to the officers on duty in the Bureau of Secrets as a snack.
Deng Zhi followed him and officially became a clerk in the Secret Service.
At the same time, in the real world.
Li Yu pulled the water pipe and sprinkled water on the cement road that was poured two days ago.
It was hot, and the water evaporated quickly. Although a layer of film to retain moisture was laid on the concrete when it was poured, the watering and maintenance link was still necessary.
Mu Guiying liked this way of playing very much and took the initiative to help.
"Husband, are we going to pick furniture in a few days?"
"Yes, pick out all the furniture, install the appliances, buy all the clothes and bedding, so that they can move in when they come... What, you want to make it royal style again?"
"No, I want to go with you to broaden my horizons and build a new home in Muke Village in the future."
Li Yu used the shower head to wet the road surface, and then said:
"Wait for your sister Zhou to come, she will be responsible for buying these things, then you can go with her, and give some advice by the way."
"Okay, okay, I like shopping with sister Zhou the most!"
After the two wet the road surface, they put away the water pipes, and then went down the mountain along the path next to them to return to the B&B.
When they came to the study, Li Yu saw the dog and told it a general rule that he had recently summarized:
"Through subtle education and influence, the character settings of the original plot can be changed."
When Dao Ge heard this, he ran around excitedly, and then lay down in the study and fell asleep.
The rules in the book are like rules and regulations that support the whole world. What Li Yu has to do now is to find out these rules and regulations so that Dao Ge can better control the world in the book.
Once all the rules are found, the whole world can be changed at will according to Dao Ge's wishes. This is the "complete control" that Dao Ge needs to upgrade.
It's a pity that I can't see the progress bar, and I don't know how much the dog has completed.
It would be great if there was a system that could be checked at any time, so there would be no need to think hard and speculate.
In the Conferred God World, Qiong Xiao was eating all kinds of snacks made by Li Yu, feeling happy:
"I knew my brother-in-law would not give up my elder sister. One of them secretly missed me, and the other secretly showed his goodwill. Don't think I don't know who those tiger bone wines are for... Tsk, I can eat this candy for a billion years!"
She was feeling proud, and Bi Xiao, who was standing beside her, pinched a piece of yellow rice jelly and put it into her mouth, and asked Qiong Xiao:
"Sister, who do you hate the most in the Chan Sect?"
"Do I need to ask? Of course it's that shameless, bullying Yuan... Yuan Xie Te Tianzun, what's wrong, third sister? Do you want to help me vent my anger?"
You think too highly of me... Bi Xiao held her cheek and chewed the jelly in her mouth expressionlessly.
She secretly demonstrated many times that even at the cost of burning her soul, she could only hurt Yuan Shi Tianzun at most, and she couldn't kill the saint at all.
But if she couldn't kill the saint, she could start from someone else.
So Bi Xiao wanted to hear her second sister's opinion.
Qiong Xiao was eating fried mushrooms with a crunchy sound, and a candidate came to his mind:
"The White Crane Boy next to the Nanji Immortal, he killed both of us with the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi. If I have the chance, I must pluck all the feathers of this crane and let my elder sister make a crispy roasted crane to taste!"
White Crane Boy?
Hearing this name, Bi Xiao immediately made up his mind to start with the White Crane Boy.
Other gods can still be included in the list after death, but this White Crane Boy was killed before the Conferred God Platform was built. After killing him, his soul was destroyed, so that he could not even reincarnate.
While she was secretly planning these, Nanji Xianweng, who was on the top of Kunlun Mountain, suddenly heard a warning from his master:
"From today on, Baihe Tongzi is confined to the courtyard and cannot go anywhere."
Nanji Xianweng was very curious and wanted to ask the reason, but thinking of the temper of his master Yuanshi Tianzun, he would not say anything even if he asked, so he could only nod and agree:
"Yes!"
After agreeing, he walked out of the room and saw Baihe Tongzi showing off his magic weapon with Chang'er Dingguang Xian and others, so he took the opportunity to issue a house arrest order:
"Magic weapons are used to save people from suffering, how can you show off? From now on, you are not allowed to step out of this courtyard for a hundred years!"
I didn't expect that he was confined to the courtyard for a hundred years just for showing off the jade ruyi that he helped his master keep. Baihe Tongzi was very dissatisfied.
He was still waiting for the Conferred God Platform to be built and he wanted to kill a few Jiejiao immortals. If he was confined to the courtyard for a hundred years, it would be too late.
It seems that I can only sneak out... The White Crane Boy put away the jade Ruyi and planned to find an opportunity to go out for a walk. With his extreme speed, he would teach the Jiejiao immortals living in Chaoge some lessons!
In the real world, Dao Ge turned over in his sleep, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, looking like he had done something bad.
In the Three Kingdoms world, Li Yan and Mao Jie took a four-wheeled tram, adjusted to the long-range mode, and drove on the newly built official road.
After a year of construction, hundreds of thousands of Xiliang troops have repaired most of the official roads in the Guanzhong Plain. Now some people have started to transport coal, and the other part has gone to the north of Chang'an to build a road from Chang'an to the oil base.
After speeding all the way, they finally arrived at Meiwu in the afternoon.
Now two signal towers have been built here, and it will become the broadcasting center of the Han Dynasty in the future.
As soon as the car was parked, the person in charge of Meiwu came over, pushed the car aside and started charging.
Mao Jie asked:
"Where is the person who proposed the compensation? Is he far from Meiwu?"
"It's not far away. It's in the city of Yi County, less than ten miles away from here... I will send someone to fetch that bastard right now and ask him to explain the matter clearly so as not to have a bad impact on the court."
What you are doing is discrediting the court... Mao Jie waved his hand impatiently:
"Just find someone to take us there."
New legal provisions are being revised. If this person can check them from beginning to end, he may be able to find many loopholes in advance.
The group changed horses and quickly arrived at Xi County. They knocked on the door of a house. The official from Xiwu pointed at a young man about fifteen years old and said:
"This is the person who went to Xiwu to demand compensation for the people."
Mao Jie did not look down upon the other party because he was a young man. Instead, he raised his hands and bowed seriously:
"I am Mao Jie, Mao Xiaoxian, who worked in the Department of Law of the dynasty. Dare I ask my surname?"
"My dear, Fa Xiaozhi!"
