Chapter 14 A Worthless Trip
Gao Shi is not old, and this year he is exactly twenty years old. He has previously celebrated his elders.
People like Gao Shi have certain plans for their own life.
He plans to travel around first to increase his experience, and then go down to study and enrich himself at the right place, and wait until the time is right before he can go to officialdom.
Historically, after Gao Shi traveled to Chang'an, he chose to settle down in Songcheng and farm and get the money. Until the 19th year of Kaiyuan, he set out north and planned to join Shuofang Jiedushi Wang Xin'an Wang Li Yi or Youzhou Jiedushi Zhang Shougui.
But today is different from the past. After Gao Shi traveled to Chang'an, all he heard was the name of Pei Min and the huge changes in Longyou.
The opening of Wushaoling Mountain Road and Longshan Ancient Road is not only convenient for the Lianglong area, but Chang'an in Guanzhong is the biggest profiteer. The end of the Silk Road is always Chang'an.
Even if Pei Min is not in Chang'an, Chang'an still praises him in all kinds of praises, leaving his legend.
Gao Shi went to Longyou on a whim and saw the legendary miracles... Wushaoling Mountain Road and Longshan Ancient Road.
Looking at the already unobstructed Wushaoling Mountain Road and Longshan Ancient Road, Gao Shi couldn't help but think of another feat of Qin Zhidao.
Qin Zhidao starts from Yunyang Linguang Palace, the military important place in Xianyang, Kyoto, and ends in Jiuyuan County in the north. It travels through fourteen counties and crosses more than 1,600 kilometers, and chasing mountains and valleys. It has been successful in two years.
Most people in the world slander such feats, which wastes the people and causes money.
Gao Shi's grandfather was Anton's gubernator Gao Kan. Because of this, Gao Shi had been exposed to military knowledge since childhood and had certain military insights, but he knew that Qin Zhidao was a feat that was in the present and accomplished for thousands of years.
If there is no Qin straight road, the Qin and Han dynasties want to control Shuofang, Jiuyuan, and the clouds, it is like a fool.
Wushaoling Mountain Road has similar effects, the ancient Longshan Road and the Qinzhi Road, deepening the Tang Dynasty's control over the West. What's even more rare is that it also promoted the development of business roads, allowing Liangzhou, Longyou and Guanzhong to make great profits, even the Qinzhi Road does not have this.
The most rare thing is that due to the improvement of technology, the Tang Dynasty had a divine object called "Bo Tian Thunder", which minimized the damage of Kaishan and Xiuling.
It is completely different from the scene where white bones were in the wild when practicing the Qin straight road.
Gao Shiyu was full of infinite admiration for Pei Min, who was not far from Liangzhou, and couldn't help but come to Guzang, Liangzhou.
As Pei Min's articles were circulated, Gao Shi admired him even more, thus changing his historical choices, settling down in the suburbs of Guzang City, farming and studying.
After living here for half a month, I also met some local literati and poets, and made an appointment to attend this grand ceremony together.
It's gold that will eventually shine.
Pei Min brought Zhang Jiuling, Wang Changling, Wang Wei and others here. On the one hand, they were allowed to contact Hexi Shilin to lay a solid foundation for promoting the Tang Dynasty culture and educating the local people. On the other hand, they also wanted to find some talents to see if there were any dusty pearls waiting to wake up.
Gao Shi is far less outstanding than history at this moment, but he has begun to show his strength and has a lot of insight in his conversation.
After Wang Zhihuan appeared, he talked with him for a while. Seeing that he was calm and his words were extraordinary, he introduced him to Pei Min.
When Gao Shi saw his idol, he felt a little excited in his heart and bowed: "I have met Duke Pei!"
Pei Min smiled like a big bad wolf and said, "No need for politeness, there is no difference between superiority and inferiority at this moment. If you can get Ji Ling's own eyes, Dafu must be extraordinary..."
His words not only praised Wang Zhihuan, but also brought him closer to Gao Shi.
Wang Zhihuan said: "I heard Brother Gao talk before, and Brother Ji Gao talked about Hexi education, and I had a deep understanding."
Pei Min was interested and said, "Dafu might as well talk?"
Gao Shi bowed and said, "The Duke of the People's Republic of China advocates education, and some people have said that it should be promoted in full. However, the late child has different opinions. Hexi has always been a deserted place in the West. It is related to accepting the West and the East. Without the investment of Western merchants, the merchants in the East of our Central Plains would not invest in the remote Hexi. Once the merchants on both sides leave, the Hexi economy will suffer heavy losses and even affect Chang'an. Moreover, Hexi is a border area, and the strong customs of the people is not a bad thing. On the one hand, it improves the quality of the source of troops. When war comes, you will always wave your arms and all the people can form an army. These two points are the characteristics of Hexi. Give up their characteristics and blindly seeking reform. It is truly a wise move."
Pei Min nodded in a hurry and said, "Then what are your opinions?"
Gao Shi said: "I dare not take it for my opinion, but I just feel that it is too extreme and unbeautiful. The control in this place is so simple that I dare not speak nonsense."
Pei Min slightly moved his right arm without good luck and said, "What an extreme and unbeautiful thing, it expresses what I think. This ancient saying says, 'Warring will lead to death, forgetting to fight will lead to danger'. If the soldiers are not brave, the generals are not strong, and the people are not strong, how can we subdue the surrounding areas? Tweets must not abandon martial arts. This is a taboo in ancient times, and what Duff said is reasonable."
"As for Western culture, we cannot reject it. If we are determined, we will only fall into the dilemma of a frog in the well and will not benefit the long-term situation. It is important to work hard to develop ourselves, and absorb the essence of others is also a way to improve ourselves. However, there is one thing you are wrong..."
Gao Shi said with sincerity: "I would like to ask the Duke of the People's Republic of China for advice."
Pei Min smiled and said, "Even if I am not bad, I will not be able to get to the point where I will force the people in the territory to take over."
This is common in history to force the people to fight, but it is something that happens when forced to fight. Moreover, the people have not been trained, have low combat effectiveness and extremely poor morale. It is not much different to lead them into battle than to kill them.
Pei Min felt that if he had an army of 140,000, he would be better off than committing suicide by wiping his neck.
His words were extremely confident, and combined with his invincible achievements, they were particularly convincing.
Gao Shi smiled and bowed and apologized: "It was the late student who said the wrong thing."
Pei Min said straight to the point: "I am short of talents now, so why don't Duff come and help me!"
Gao Shi instantly widened his eyes. He chose to settle in Guzang because he had the opportunity to become a member of Pei Min's shogunate in the future and enter the official career.
Now that I have not settled down to enrich myself, I have been invited by Pei Min. In an unexpected situation, I feel a little nervous, worried that I have not done well enough.
"Why, don't you?" Pei Min asked with a smile. He could see that Gao Shi was already moved and said this on purpose.
"No, the Duke of the State misunderstanding!" Gao Shi hurriedly said: "I thanked the Duke of the State, but I was not knowledgeable after I was born late, and I was afraid that I would be humiliated by the Duke of the State. I originally planned to study hard in Guzang, and wait for the learning to be successful and then consider the future, but now..."
Pei Min smiled and said, "I believe in my vision. I have always seen people very accurately. You have great potential. Maybe you can't see it now, but as long as you train them well, you will definitely become a great man. Moreover, reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. Instead of studying hard, you might as well come to me to practice."
Gao Shi said excitedly: "In this way, it is better to obey your orders than to be respectful in your later years!"
Everyone around looked at Gao Shi with envious eyes.
Pei Min knew that he had picked up the treasure.
