Taiyuan, Jinyang.

City guarding the government office.

"Wen's son has left the city?" Cui Jun held a brush and splashed ink on the paper. The pen was like a dragon and snake, while asking slowly, "When did you go out?"

"The envoy, I left the city at noon today."

Cui Jun stopped writing and nodded, "I understand."

Cui Jun is relatively old. If he were to be in the future, he would be at a critical juncture of promotion. If he was promoted, then he could work in the senior officials for a few more years, or even more than ten years, until he could not become an official. However, if he had not been promoted in recent years, his official position might have been terminated in the position of Taiyuan Prefect.

Although the prefect of a county is already a very high position for most people, but...

Just as someone said, people always have some ideal pursuits, otherwise what is the difference between them and salted fish?

Is Cui Jun smart?

Quite smart.

But this smart person is inevitably infected with a habit, just likes to comment.

Of course, Cui Jun likes comments, which is also related to the customs of the Han Dynasty.

After all, from the disaster of the Party and the Counterattack to Yuedan Comments, it is all inseparable from comments. Among these incidents, these people who like comments have read a lot of books and learned a lot of things, but they are still a little far from the great scholars.

Whether it is the commenter who caused the turmoil in Taixue or the commenter who raised the beard by Yuedan, it is basically a little more than half a bucket of water. So what they like most is to comment half a bucket of water, which means that someone is good, but what, or what, or what, what is the idea of ​​something good, but what is wrong, so in order to seek a better pleasure than half a bucket of water.

Cui Jun has some of this problem.

For example, in the debate on the Confucianism in Qinglong Temple, Cui Jun felt that there was no need for this.

Because Cui Jun thinks that the only one learning in China is "Tao".

Why? Because Cui Jun felt that during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it was actually derived from Taoism. Other military genres, Legalists, Confucianism, and even schools, as well as later miscellaneous schools, etc. were all derived from Taoist thought. Therefore, the origin of China comes from Taoism, so what else needs to be discussed?

Those who debated in Qinglong Temple for a long time and said that the serious explanations are all those who learn but do not think, and those who think but do not learn will be in danger. They are all those who have only one understanding and have a glimpse of the leopard in the universe.

For example, Cui Jun also felt that some of the strategies of the cavalry were not very good and did not conform to the actual situation of the Han Dynasty. If it were later, it would violate productivity and production relations.

But when Cui Jun criticized others for not understanding, he forgot something.

He himself didn't understand it very much, or he really understood it.

For example, this "Tao".

Tao, it’s my own, that’s right.

There is nothing wrong with many people in the hundreds of schools of thought who are studying under or indirectly learning from me.

But where did my thoughts come from?

Cui Jun either didn't know, or just pretended to be stupid and didn't mention it anymore.

If others have learned Lao Tzu's thoughts and expanded new ideas and ideas, it is considered Lao Tzu's merit. If it is to be classified into Taoism, then where did Lao Tzu learn knowledge, what books did he read, and expand Taoism from it, should Taoism be classified into the books he learned, or the system of the original creators of the knowledge?

Of course, at this time, the double standard can work.

Does Cui Jun have double standards? Some are a little bit more? After all, aren’t people just repeat the school and rebirth, and reincarnation of double standards?

Cui Jun was very disgusted with his old man using money to buy an official, and he openly commented and mocked his father for being "copper smelly", but on the other hand, Cui Jun did not express that he had been away from the low-level interest from now on. He still took the official position and still took the money, and did not want to be a person without any "copper smelly".

At the same time, Cui Jun beat and scolded his father and avoided him, saying that it was "Shun's father's service, and if he was a small stick, he would take a big stick, and if he was a big stick, he would leave, which was not unfilial." But on the other hand, he ignored those who mocked his father and did not settle the score with those people after his father was insulted. Could it be that he could find some "non-unfilial" statements?

From these aspects, Cui Jun is actually more like some people from later generations, not those who are more rigid and stubborn in the Han Dynasty. He is smart and sleek, and likes to comment and instruct others. He may not stand up when he should stand up. When he notices that danger is coming, he may run away first.

Just like in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Mr. Luo also said that Cui Jun looked down on Liu Bei because Liu Bei was indeed in trouble at that time.

Therefore, when all these things happen in Taiyuan County, Cui Jun’s attitude is subtle and it is not difficult to understand.

Of course, this is not saying that Cui Jun is not capable, it is just that he is used to it.

As a county prefect, Cui Jun is generally qualified. Whether it is dealing with people's livelihood and political affairs or organizing agricultural, labor and water conservancy, there is no big problem. However, as a typical Han Dynasty, a child of aristocratic family who passed down from classics, he was impeccable in dealing with people and handling government affairs in a very orderly manner. However, his three views are naturally somewhat different from Fei Qian, and they are also different from Pang Tong and others.

Cui Jun felt that even though Wen's son left Jinyang, he still did not leave his own control, so he didn't care too much. He felt that everything was in his plan.

For Cui Jun, he thinks that if the local officials want to manage a good place, they can either suppress the local local snakes and force these local snakes to bow their heads, or they just have the same interests as these local snakes and have the same convergence.

And his plan is to take two steps...

There are two risks in this matter.

First, being implicated.

Since Cui Jun learned that there were signs of smuggling, he began to investigate and placed the main suspects on Wang and Wen. At the same time, he strictly controlled the control of smuggled items around Jinyang, forcing these smugglers to purchase outside Jinyang.

The smuggled objects did not come from around Jinyang, and there was no private exchange between Cui Jun and Wang Wen. Even if there was a problem with the smuggling in the future, Cui Jun would not have any financial responsibility. Just like there was a smuggling dealer in a certain place in later generations, the local chief could not be shot directly, unless it was proved that these smugglers had any transactions with Cui Jun. Cui Jun eliminated the danger from the beginning.

As for why Cui Jun doesn't report specific problems, it is because no one likes that his colleagues around him are a report, right? Cui Jun knows that most of these guys' artifacts are collected from Xihe and Shangdang, but if Cui Jun reports that something was wrong with Shangdang in Xihe, then Du Yuan from Xihe and Jia Qu from Shangdang will think that Cui Jun is a good person and will say that Cui Jun's behavior is right and worthy of praise, and then will his relationship with Cui Jun become deeper?

Maybe, but most likely not.

Cui Jun felt that there was no need to do such a thing that was not much reward and had the risk of offending his colleagues.

Second, the risk of malfeasance.

There is indeed a little risk.

Cui Jun did not deny it, but he felt that it was still within an acceptable range.

The reason is very simple. Cui Jun wants a stage. He wants a bigger and better stage. If he wants to go to this stage, should he show some ability? And ordinary things, such as agriculture and sericulture, such as water conservancy, and that county is not like this, how can he widen the gap with other county prefects and show his own uniqueness?

It's like a pot maker.

When the pot leaks, people in later generations usually throw the pot directly, but in the era of lack of supplies, many people still choose to make up for it and continue to use it.

At this time, the skill of the pot maker is shown.

To repair the pot, of course, you must first scrape the dust and check the leaks. The pot repairer must be skillful in his hands, secretly expand the gaps and leaks, and then point them to the owner, saying that the pot cannot be repaired. Fortunately, you found me today, others will definitely not be able to do it!

I immediately took some effort to make up the pot, and I could not only charge more money, but also received praise from the owner...

Well, if it is not easy to understand, it will be generally similar to those who repair the phone.

It’s fun to smash it secretly!

This shows how superb the skill of the pot maker is!

"Come!" Cui Jun had decided to think about it, and felt that the gap between the pot could be bigger at the moment, so he called his confidant, "I heard that Wang's daughter Ying received the order of the cavalry and wanted to come to Taiyuan to thoroughly investigate the smuggling... Go and secretly spread the news..."

…(?′?`?)…

On the other hand, there was also a pot leaking.

The No. 1 Tubingji, the eldest prince of the Southern Xiongnu, wanted to preserve the pot as complete as possible.

But the second pot repairer felt that he would not let him repair the pot, so he would smash the pot.

Therefore, the eldest prince was turned over by the third prince, not because the eldest prince had no supporters, but because the eldest prince also had to consider the control and suppression of the periphery, so his supporters must also be placed on the periphery to prevent if his father Yu Fuluo kicked his legs that day, someone would attack the royal court with his men.

Perhaps the only thing the eldest prince did not do was not attacking the third prince at the first time.

But now I feel regretful, and it has no meaning.

Although the pot of the Southern Xiongnu was rotten, there were still many people eating inside, and they were really smashed. What others thought was that the eldest prince Liu Bao didn't know, but he felt it was a pity.

Therefore, the eldest prince felt that he might not be able to defeat the third prince that night, so he did not choose to fight to the death, but chose to temporarily avoid it.

Just as the eldest prince felt that the Southern Xiongnu could not defeat the Han people, he could also choose to temporarily avoid it.

The eldest prince felt that war is not the whole of life. If he took himself and the people in the tribe to accomplish something that had no hope at all, would it be right or wrong?

Yes, right where?

What's wrong?

Even if we don’t talk about the current Southern Xiongnu, can the previous and complete Xiongnu beat the Han people?

Have such a huge army and such a strong tribe won?

Did the arrogant Maodun Shanyu win?

Then even now, even if the third prince controls all the people from the Southern Xiongnu, who can they win?

Can Li Dian beat Yinshan?

Or Fei Qian from Chang'an?

Or can you beat all the Han people?

In this case, why do you still choose war? Instead of choosing a way to allow tribes and people to not shed blood, to adapt to the changes of the times and the changes in the environment?

"I think that at this time, we should ask the Han people to send troops to quell the rebellion quickly!" The elder of the Southern Xiongnu, Gerkin, said in a deep voice, "You must pacify your third brother before you have completely grasped power, otherwise the situation may be worse!"

The eldest prince also knew the seriousness of the matter, but he thought that he could only rely on the Southern Huns Elder Gerkin, his father-in-law, to handle it, and did not need to ask the Han people to take action.

If the third prince walks in the old school of Southern Xiongnu and the style of military force in the grassland and desert, then the eldest prince Liu Bao walks in a political strategy of mutual negotiation and compromise and balanced routes.

Just looking at the eldest prince being beaten by the third prince and being scared away, you may feel that the eldest prince is cowardly and incompetent. However, everything in the world cannot be just one aspect. Although the eldest prince’s force is not as good as the third prince, the eldest prince’s understanding of the political situation is obviously above the third prince.

『Ask Han people to send troops…』 The eldest prince sighed, 『Then the third brother will definitely die… Moreover, it is easy for Han people to send troops, but it is probably not that easy to withdraw troops… As much as possible, it is better for us to solve the problem ourselves…』

Gelkin thought for a moment, nodded and said, "What do you think you should do?"
