Wei and Jin cooks

Chapter 537 Progress is embarrassing yourself

Fu Zhi moved into Zhao's house, and Zhao Hanzhang asked Fu Tinghan to take care of him. The grandfather and grandson talked while she took Ji Yuan to find Xia Houyan.

The Xiahou family's house was also burned down, so he found an empty house near his home to stay temporarily and leave tomorrow.

There were only three servants around him, a charioteer, a coachman, and a guard.

When he saw Zhao Hanzhang and Ji Yuan coming to visit, he was stunned for a moment, then asked them to sit down and asked straight to the point: "Why did General Zhao come to see me?"

Zhao Hanzhang sat upright and said respectfully: "Sir, you are a great talent. Hanzhang is very happy. He would like to ask you to take up the post of chief historian in Ruyin County, Yuzhou."

Xia Houyan shook his head directly, "I'm old and don't like running around. I have General Fu's favor."

Zhao Hanzhang glanced at Ji Yuan, and Ji Yuan advised: "Mr. Xiahou, now the Xiongnu and Xianbei are eyeing each other, and the world is in chaos. As long as we control the Central Plains, the Han people in the world will have a chance to breathe."

"But Yuzhou has suffered several times, and it is very difficult. It is the time when you need your husband," Ji Yuan said: "Your Majesty avoided Yuncheng and Luoyang was empty. The first one to bear the brunt was Yuzhou. If we don't seize the time to make Yuzhou stronger, I'm afraid that if the Xiongnu and Xianbei go south again, they will march in."

Xia Houyan shook his head slowly, still refusing.

Going to Yuzhou, are they the ministers of Jin or her retainers of Zhao Hanzhang?

He didn't even go out to conquer the emperor, and Zhao Hanzhang invited him, and he wouldn't go out.

The world is hopeless, don't worry about it, just let nature take its course, so Xia Houyan just said that he was in poor health and old and didn't want to be an official.

No matter how Mr. Ji and Zhao Hanzhang tried to persuade him, he just refused to let go. Seeing that Zhao Hanzhang could not persuade him, he could only say regretfully: "I heard that Mr. Ji is going to join Mr. Zhang Jingyang?"

Xia Houyan looked at her warily, "Who did General Zhao listen to?"

Zhao Hanzhang said: "When my grandfather passed away, thanks to Mr. Zhang's righteous words, Hanzhang always remembered it in his heart. When he had to leave Beijing, he thought about thanking Mr. Zhang properly, but he never found the opportunity. I wonder if Mr. Xiahou would be willing to introduce Hanzhang to him. ?”

Xia Houyan thought deeply. He also knew what happened more than two years ago. After Zhang Xie scolded the King of Donghai, he couldn't stay in the capital anymore, so he simply went back to the mountains to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, not caring about worldly affairs.

Xia Houyan went to keep him company this time.

He thought for a moment and finally agreed. This was Zhang Jingyang's good fate and there was no need to turn him away.

Seeing that the two things finally became one thing, Zhao Hanzhang left with satisfaction.

Ji Yuan and her led the horse back slowly, "Girl, seeing that Xia Houyan is determined, I'm afraid he won't agree easily."

Zhao Hanzhang said: "It's okay. I don't have to ask him to go to Yuzhou. Once I know where they live, as long as it's not far away, I can often go to Yuzhou in the future."

"When Zhao Kuan arrives, let him get acquainted with him. If there is anything you don't understand in the future, go up the mountain and ask the two old gentlemen for advice." Zhao Hanzhang said: "Sometimes, their words are ten times better than ours." Things still work.”

Ji Yuan smiled and said, "Girls are also very understanding of the world."

Zhao Hanzhang turned to look at him, "Sir, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly."

Tinghe, who was following behind, also felt that Ji Yuan's praise was a bit false. Their girl was so thick-skinned and so sophisticated, did she need such praise?

"The girl didn't talk to the eldest son much today, but do you mind the eldest son's words of advice yesterday?" He said: "Fu Zhongshu lives in Zhao's house. In his eyes, the girl should be nicer to the eldest son, otherwise how can he rest assured? I leave the eldest son to you."

"What's more, what happened yesterday, even if the eldest son didn't dissuade me, I would still persuade him. The eldest son..."

"Stop, stop, stop," Zhao Hanzhang quickly interrupted him and asked, "When did I stop talking to him? You don't think we are having trouble, do you?"

"Isn't it?" Ji Yuan said, "I see that the girls didn't talk to the eldest young master much this morning. I thought it was because the eldest young master spoke out loud yesterday and made the girls unhappy."

Zhao Hanzhang: "Am I that narrow-minded person?"

Ji Yuan smiled and said: "Of course not a girl, but everyone in this world likes to hear nice words. Who wants to listen to words that don't obey their own wishes?"

Zhao Hanzhang: "But disobedience is often the most beneficial to people."

Ji Yuan smiled and said: "Girl, it is too difficult for me to do this. There are many counselors in this world who can obey the master in their words and deeds."

"Submit? That's an idea that even I can come up with, so why do they need to waste their brainpower? From this it can be seen that they are incomparable." Zhao Hanzhang looked at Ji Yuan suspiciously, "Mr. Ji, you usually There are many people who refute my words. Why did you suddenly mention this today? Is it because you are afraid that I will not be able to listen to your words of advice?"

Ji Yuan burst out laughing, "Of course not. I know that the girl is generous and won't mind our usual offensive words, but Mr. Fu is different after all. Since he has been with the girl, this is his first time." One objection to your words.”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Hanzhang waved his hand and said indifferently: "Studying means constantly embarrassing yourself, competing with and integrating with the world. This is also the essence of education. Tinghan is helping me. It's not that I don't know. Anyway."

Ji Yuan: "Reading and literacy is obviously a very happy thing, how can the girl make it sound like suffering?"

"It is a very happy thing, but that is after you have achieved results. Didn't you suffer during the learning process?" Zhao Hanzhang said: "Copying books in the cold winter and endorsing in the scorching heat are constantly embarrassing myself. It is a joy to gain something in the process, but it is undeniable that these gains are obtained only after hard work and suffering.”

Ji Yuan was slightly stunned.

This was the first time he had heard such an idea.

He thought thoughtfully, "So as long as the girl gains something, she is willing to suffer no matter how much she suffers?"

"The reward must be proportional to the pain, otherwise I will be unwilling to accept it, and it will seem like I have suffered in vain."

Ji Yuan then said: "Then I have to tell the girl something."

"What's up?"

"Of the more than 200,000 people you left in Xiangcheng, there are only about 100,000 left. The news arrived yesterday. After two days on the road, there may not even be 100,000 left."

Zhao Hanzhang: "...Where have they gone?"

"Some people went to Yuzhou on their own, some went south to visit relatives, and some... they went to Yanzhou," Ji Yuan said: "There are too many people, Fan Ying and the others can only make large dishes and pay attention to many details. Unexpectedly, some people infiltrated into the crowd, and they learned about the news that His Majesty was moving the capital. Coupled with Gou Xi's reputation, many people took their belongings to Yanzhou."

In Zhao Hanzhang's heart, a group of alpacas galloped past.

Ji Yuan looked at Zhao Hanzhang and sighed: "Some of the girl's methods are still too gentle. If you ask me, if we saved more than 200,000 people, we should have immediately looted their belongings. Without the money, they thought You should think more carefully before leaving."

Zhao Hanzhang: "...Mr. Ji's proposal is very cruel."

Mr. Ji said: "Luoyang is poor. Girl, you don't have much money now. To rebuild Luoyang and ensure the stability of Yuzhou, money is indispensable."

Zhao Hanzhang asked: "Where is Shi Le now?"
