At the beginning of February, the order from the central government arrived at Handan as expected. Gongsun Xundian, the Marquis of Wuluting, took up the post, encouraged learning and promoted education, built canals and cultivated fertile fields, held the title of Lang, and entered the court to discuss his merits.

No matter what, I have to enter the court.

Because regardless of the Three Gongs, two thousand shi means that a Han official has reached the end of his official rank. Compared with two thousand shi, two thousand shi, the middle two thousand shi, the real two thousand shi are both two thousand shi. In essence, they are the same class, and

The Three Dukes require age, virtue and classics. So no matter how you organize an inspection, or you have to pay the emperor money to buy an official position and then turn around, you have to go through this journey.

When the dignitaries from all walks of life in the Zhao Kingdom heard about this, they naturally came to congratulate him!

Can you not congratulate me? A boy from a noble family in a border county will become a man of two thousand stones at the age of twenty-five. He will become the recognized 'lord of a country' under the current trend of 'taking the county as the country'. The key is that these two thousand stones are not yet

The position in the border county...is really amazing.

Of course, these people are bound to have their own limitations when looking at this matter. What they are thinking in their hearts or discussing privately is probably whether the Gongsun family in western Liaoning will make a breakthrough and become a real family due to the sudden rise of Gongsun Xun.

The top family? In other words, where is Gongsun Xun's personal upper limit? Will he finally surpass the whirlpool among eunuchs, relatives, and scholars and truly achieve something, or will he die worthlessly like many capable ministers and officials one day?

Is this political turmoil going on?

To be honest, Gongsun Xun didn't even bother to pay attention to this...it's meaningless after all, isn't it?

However, this does not mean that Gongsun Xun is in a happy mood, even though he has been looking forward to this day for a long time.

This not-so-pleasant emotion is not because I am nervous about having to deal with Zhang Jiao soon. As a person with rich combat experience, who can even be said to have been trained as a child of a border military noble from a young age, this matter

Since the matter has been planned, there is no need to think too much, it will still have to be a fight when the time comes.

In fact, this sad mood comes from Gongsun Xun's regret for his achievements during his tenure in Zhao State, or it can be said to be an enlarged version of his feelings for the migrant workers building the embankment on the river embankment that day... To put it bluntly, when I think about it, no matter how early it was,

The large-scale Handan Public School, the fertile land cultivated after the construction of Xia Di, the hidden household registrations that have been painstakingly identified, and even the Taihang Mountains that have just been cleared may all become worthless in the coming war. Gongsun

Xun felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

These things he worked hard for, although they had utilitarian purposes at the beginning, just for promotion, for training, for people to notice his administrative talents, and to highlight his "ability to control chaos" on the Hebei plain...

...But when things come to a close, how many people can remain indifferent when they think that all their hard work will be wasted? Not to mention that it is not just his own hard work. Is it fair to the rest of the people if he leaves it alone?

But, how to control it?

"Everyone!"

As a temporary venue for holding a practice banquet, the spacious front yard of Handan Public School was already filled with more than a hundred people, but the person in the first place could only be today's protagonist Gongsun Xun. "Thanks to you all.

Come and practice, you should drink wine and sing loudly, and leave generously, but if some words cannot be explained clearly, I am afraid that it will be difficult for you and me to feel at ease, right?"

Everyone laughed for a moment, but then became quiet again.

"I made an appointment with you all that day. Most of the things are for two years. But now that I have to leave my post less than a year after taking office, I feel sorry for you all." Gongsun Xun put down his wine glass and continued. "However, fortunately, that day

Most of the things we have agreed to do have been settled, but there is still no conclusion yet on the announcement of the announcement at the beginning of winter this year..."

Compared with the time when the appointment was made that day, the number of people in the public college is inevitably complicated at this time, so we can only stop there. Of course, the relevant people will naturally understand.

"Please rest assured." Wei Song did his part when he heard this. "I will reiterate it in front of you today that the appointment of that day will not be changed because of Wu Wuhou's resignation. I, a descendant of the Wei family, will still not participate in the national affairs this year.

Recommended for being filial and honest."

The Li family and the Handan family also expressed their opinions one after another.

"I also discussed this matter with the Prime Minister and Uncle Fang." Gongsun Xun saw this and said. "Both of them particularly agreed with the method of recommending Xiaolian last year, so this year Xiaolian is still selected from the public school.

, after the autumn harvest, there will be a general entrance examination, and the top thirty candidates who are locals of Zhao can participate in the selection... And Mr. Zhang, your youngest son is now a man in Luozhong, but he is half the same level as me.

I will definitely make arrangements and recommendations for this trip."

As for others, the three families of Zhang, Wang and Lu were naturally overjoyed, but except for the former county magistrate Zhang Shu, the other two families could not stand up publicly to express their gratitude.

After drinking the wine that Zhang Shu stood up to toast, Gongsun Xun could have stopped there, but as the wine entered his throat, he couldn't bear it any longer: "Everyone, the words I promised must be true to their word, but I promise you

I hope you can abide by my words! Don’t be strict with others and lenient with yourself.”

What he said was unclear, and it was quite inconsistent with the atmosphere at hand, so the public school that had just been about to get noisy suddenly became quiet.

"I wonder what the Lord is talking about?" After everyone looked at each other, Wei Song, still the leader of the local people, avoided the table after several cases and asked seriously.

"I'll speak frankly." Now that he had spoken, Gongsun Xun no longer needed to cover up. He glanced at the people in front of him, simply and directly. "After I leave, the two thousand hectares of fertile land will be distributed to the local people.

, are you going to divide it up immediately? Can you please slow down for my sake?"

There was silence in the courtyard for a while, but soon someone tried to speak up to defend himself.

"No need to say more...this is not something you can promise just by insisting. You must know that you are officials, officials, wise men, and powerful and wealthy households. And some of the two thousand hectares of land have been allocated by me to build canals.

Some of the coolies who have spent a lot of effort are given to the refugees recruited from the Taihang Mountains, and some are given to the people who lost their original land because of the river construction... These people are simply taking everything from you!"

"I know what you are thinking in your heart. It's nothing more than that you think I'm troublesome, that I'm mean, that I treat you nobles harshly, that I still make things difficult for you even though I'm leaving... But I have to tell you, I

This move is really for your own good!”

"Bao Qin wore millions of armors, but from Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and a group of prisoners, the prisoners began to be destroyed; Wang Mang also wore millions of armors, but from Chimei and Lulin he began to die and his people were wiped out... Is this a coincidence?! What are you doing today?

If the Shan family is better to the common people in the country, they may be able to avoid the disaster of genocide in the future! Do you understand?!"

"..."

"What do you want me to ask you?" Gongsun Xun knocked the wine glass on the tables in front of him, but his face could not tell whether he was happy or angry. "Why don't you say anything?"

"We must keep your advice in mind." The head of the Handan clan was the first to react and quickly bowed his head. "Please..."

"Your 'keep it in mind' is just on your lips," before anyone else could respond, Gongsun Xun suddenly sneered and ridiculed. "Actually, I'm already impatient in my heart...right? Ignorant people are fearless!"

The head of the Handan family just thought that the other party wanted to do something before leaving. He was so frightened that he could only quickly avoid the table and kneel down to apologize: "Your Majesty, what Zhen Du said before he died that day was indeed slander.

, there is absolutely no disrespect from the Handan family to the monarch!"

"I'm not taking advantage of the topic, nor am I targeting you." Gongsun Xun continued to sneer. "I'm saying that everyone here...from gentlemen like Duke Wei to people like you, are actually ignorant fools! I sincerely say

I sincerely remind you, but you have no self-awareness at all! You are all short-sighted, and you are not aware of the impending disaster!"

Everyone looked at each other... If you said you were criticizing your own morality, you could still argue a few words. But if you were to criticize IQ, especially everyone else's IQ, then you don't know what to say. As for saying something like a disaster is imminent.

, it sounds even more ridiculous.

In this case, just don't say anything and let the other party act drunk and crazy!

"Forget it," Gongsun Xun let out a long sigh when he saw this. After pouring himself a drink, he finally stopped talking drunkenly. "I won't explain it to you anymore... Just remember one thing. I, Gongsun Xun, will enter Luo this time, 80% of the time.

I still have to be an official in Hebei, which is probably not far from you! Xiadi is where my political achievements are, and whoever dares to tamper with my political achievements, I will make him look good immediately!"

This threat actually gave the local powerful people some peace of mind... After all, they are used to it!

"Also, after I leave, the funding committee of the public school will remain as usual, but Mr. Cai is pedantic and unsure of himself. I hope that Mr. Wei can properly assist him and save this public school."

Cai Yong, who had nothing to do with himself, immediately turned pale and red, but he did not dare to shout in public with the drunk Gongsun Xun. In addition, the other party actually gave away the entire house to him, so he could only hide his face and drink.

Already.

"Please rest assured, Lord." Wei Song sighed helplessly. Unlike others, 80% of his recognition of Gongsun Xun came from this public school. When he heard the other party explain the matter so solemnly, there was something in his words.

I can only accept the disrespect for Cai Bojie. "After Song was appointed as the Prime Minister of the State of Lu, he had given up his ambition to pursue an official career and only focused on running schools. Thanks to the monarch, he donated this building

If I build this public school in the library, I will have no other ideas for the rest of my life and will focus on this place wholeheartedly!"

Gongsun Xun nodded slightly and turned to look at Zhao Ping again, causing the latter to tremble and quickly avoid the table to face each other.

However, Gongsun Xun looked at this person for a long time and just said nonsense: "Master, please take care of yourself!"

"Here!" Zhao Ping was still serious.

"Forget it!" Gongsun Xun looked around and couldn't find anyone he wanted to explain to. He just felt it was boring, so he poured himself a glass of wine again, and then stood up proudly. "You all can do it for yourself!"

After saying that, he actually left the banquet without paying attention to the hundreds of guests in the courtyard.

"Junhou." As soon as he went out, Lou Gui, who followed him, couldn't help shaking his head. "Why bother to mention these people?"

Gongsun Xun shook his head and said nothing.

"Junhou." Lu Fan on the other side said something else. "Chu Yan is also here. It seems that he wants to follow Junhou and change places. Do you want to meet him?"

"It's gone. Let him work under Dong Gongren with peace of mind." Gongsun Xun said unconcernedly. "But you can tell him that if Dong Gongren is really unfair to him, then he can come to me at any time whether it is Pingyuan or Zhongshan.

!”

"What about Mr. Ju?" Lu Ziheng continued to ask.

"Has he made up his mind?" Gongsun Xun still didn't care.

"Yes." Shen Pei quickly interjected. "He said that as long as Ming Gong is still in Hebei, he is willing to continue to follow..."

"Don't force me." Gongsun Xun glanced at Shen Zhengnan, but he still seemed unconcerned. "Let him stay in Handan with Zi Heng and take care of my family. Then after I decide where to go, or follow Zi Heng.

It doesn’t matter if you get up and look for me, or return home calmly.”

"It's just right." The judge also breathed a sigh of relief. "The best of both worlds."

Gongsun Xun didn't say anything more, but went straight back to his mansion to rest for the night.

Early on the next morning, he first handed over the county's seal and ribbon to Wang Xiu, leaving Lu Fan, Wang Xiu, and Ju Zong to guard Handan City and the family members left here.

Leave Handan and head south.

There is no way... In fact, if possible, Gongsun Xun would certainly want Chu Yan, Ju Zong, and even Dong Zhao to go with him.

However, this idea seems unrealistic.
To be continued...
