Chapter 168 Hanoi Sima's
I see one or two people every day, take the exam for their talents, ask them what they think, negotiate the matter of replacing the fields, and then start practicing martial arts, which makes the resources of mature fields short of resources, which is not that easy to change, but Huo Hai's daily life this summer.
Today, Huo Hai was going to meet the Sima family of Hanoi. They sent a young man named Sima Chong. After asking, Huo Hai realized that this was Sima Yi's uncle. His brother was Sima Yi's father Sima Fang. Now he was only about the same age as Huo Hai, and he was in Luoyang as a cavalry commander.
As for Sima Bada, most of them were still naughty children of a few years old at this time, and there was no need to recruit them.
"How many mature fields should the Sima family change?"
"Three thousand tiles."
Huo Hai was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Sima Chong and said, "You have a little too much appetite! If you change it to your family, the other families may not accept it."
Sima Chong smiled and said, "General Huo did not deny it at all. It seems that the mature fields in his hand are far more than three thousand qing. Otherwise, what if it is exchanged for three thousand qing?"
"The head of the Sima family sent you here, probably not to make fun of me. Let's talk about the Sima family's plans! If it is beneficial to you and me, why not 30,000 yuan?" Huo Hai still said without saying anything.
You should know that the land development rate in this era is low, and all the mature fields in a county may not be ten thousand yuan. Sima Chong first 3,000 yuan, and then jumped directly to 30,000 yuan, which is a land larger than the three counties. If some places that cannot be cultivated are eliminated, 30,000 yuan 30,000 yuan 30,000 yuan ripe fields must be at least one county in Bingzhou.
Sima family wants to upgrade to the county?
They don't seem to have such strong strength and so many people.
At present, only the Zhongyang family, the Wang family in Taiyuan, the Cui family in Qinghe, the Lu family in Fanyang and the Zheng family in Xingyang have not yet made a fortune. The rest, such as the Chen family in Yingchuan, the Xun family, the Han family, and the Guo family in Guo family. Although the influence is great, the family bases are only as large as a county.
After eliminating this possibility, there is only one possibility. Sima wants to bet on himself, and it is a illegitimate child like Sima Chong.
"It's so good. Our Sima family wants 300,000 yuan to spend fertile land." Sima Chong's face turned right and changed his mouth.
Three hundred thousand yuan, let alone a county, even in Bingzhou, there may not be so many mature fields at present. After all, most of the mature fields have already been in the hands of major families. Is Sima Chong trying to see his ambitions?
"I really want to know if the Sima family has so much food." Huo Hai also had a righteous expression.
At this time, he had basically confirmed that Sima Chong was here to defect to him.
"Not now, but there will definitely be one in the future. Of course, our Sima family is not the land we want to have with the general now. We hope that the general will give it to us in the future." Seeing that Huo Hai still did not refuse and was still talking to him seriously, Sima Chong had already confirmed that the person in front of him was very ambitious and even ambition to the world.
"Is Sima's intention to have a home in Hexi?"
"The Sima family is confident that they can help the young master manage Hexi well."
The atmosphere was very subtle between the two of them. Huo Hai knew that he had met a smart person. After thinking for a while, he said, "There are many families who want to serve me, but there is only one in Hexi. Why should I choose the Sima family?"
As soon as Huo Hai said this, he took back the initiative in the conversation. Sima Chong smiled and said, "If I say that the Sima family has advantages, then the young master will definitely ask, where is the advantage? Then, why not tell the young master directly what is the advantage of our Sima family."
Huo Hai smiled and nodded, "Wenyuan, please speak."
Wen Yuan is Sima Chong's word "大天". Huo Hai did not call him just now because the two people who met for the first time were still unfamiliar. Now Huo Hai shouted him out to express his recognition of him. This is a person who really talks about things and does things.
"First of all, our Sima family is a large family in Hanoi and a family of Zhongming Ding Food. The talented people among the younger generation are like crucian carp crossing the river, and have the ability to manage the local area..."
"Stop, add real goods."
"Dry stuff?"
"It's just that it's useful."
"Hexi and Henoi and Hedong are adjacent to each other, and there are many trade deals. Our Sima family has grown and grown because of bartering with the Huns. The tribes there all give our Sima family a little bit of thin air, and our Sima family doesn't want to lose this piece of fat."
"It would be easy to understand that I said this earlier! However, I don't understand one thing. If your Sima family wants to protect the existing interests, it should be to stop me from the Western Expedition. Why should we provide assistance?"
"Haha, it was Sima Fang who stopped the general from expeditioning the west."
"If you don't put the eggs in the same basket, the aristocratic families do this kind of routine." Huo Haiming said afterwards.
Sima Chong smiled and nodded, "General, your metaphor is very appropriate, but few people are as straightforward as you."
"I have come into contact with many big families. If I don't understand your thoughts, then I'm not stupid. However, I still want to know how Sima Fang and others will stop me from expeditioning the West." Huo Haida looked at Sima Chong with a deep meaning.
He did not object to the support of the children of aristocratic families to support two different camps. After all, they were just seeking survival, but he did not allow his subordinates to be loyal to him.
Sima Chong seemed to have been ready to answer Huo Hai's question, and said with a smile, "It's just that the imperial court's financial resources are limited and the war cannot be easily started, so he advised the emperor not to allow you to fight westward. Oh, by the way, they will also secretly communicate with the Quqi. The general is preparing for war now, and the Huns should have known about it."
"It's really hard for him to do something." Huo Hai complained.
If the Huns had been prepared for a long time, their chances of winning in the Western Expedition would have been much lower. After all, that was a nomadic people, and they could evacuate in minutes and consume their opponents by extending the opponent's front.
"This move is actually easy to solve. The general only needs to give money to the ten generals, so the emperor will never stop the general from expeditioning the west. Those party members who regard themselves as clear water will only point fingers at the government, but will not give the emperor benefits. The emperor will not like them, so the resistance from them is actually very small.
As for the chances of winning the troops! The general doesn’t need to worry.
After so many years of dealing with the Huns, our Sima family is naturally somewhat energetic. Before the general's army sets off, there will be a large-scale rebellion within the Huns.
I believe that by then, they are determined to fight with General Huo, they will definitely be caught off guard by these rebellions."
Sima Chong's answer shows his attitude towards politics. He does not like those party members. Of course, this may also be because he did not take office and had different positions.
The subsequent military suggestions are to show Huo Hai his actual value.
"If our army can recover the Hexi land, I will report you as the governor of Hexi County. As for the land, as much as you can drive in Hexi, I will allow you. It would be better that you turn the entire Hexi land into fertile land. It would not be 300,000 yuan, but 3 million yuan." Huo Hai nodded with satisfaction and said.
Sima Chong, who was shocked, said in surprise, "Say I am a county magistrate? That is an official position of two thousand stones, without regulation..."
"At this time next year, the entire imperial system may not be what it is now. In short, just remember my promise." Huo Hai interrupted him.
Be an official and go through the procedure?
That happened a few years ago.
Now as long as you have money, you can become a 2,000-stone official in your life.
There is no need to be a filial and honest person or a counselor.
Even as long as Liu Yan's premeditated things were successful, the governor of the prefecture could appoint the county magistrate himself. In other words, under the promotion of Guo Tu, Liu Yan had been planning for this matter for a long time. Maybe he would not have to wait until next year, and he would take up his post in Yizhou this year and become a separatist prince from then on.
Huo Hai himself might have to give Zhang Rang another big gift, and he is bound to win the position of the Bingzhou Governor.
After discussing the Sima family, Huo Hai's government affairs have been handled today. After coming to the residence, he saw several envelopes on the table. This grass-gray envelope was only used by the internal letters of Heishan Village. Huo Hai picked it up and saw that it was the letter written to him by Chu Yu.
"I'm very good, Bao'er is very good, and Miss Zhaoji is very good, I just miss you a little, and I hope everything is fine."
With just a few sentences, a piece of letter paper was written with thunder-striking handwriting, which made people like Huo Hai, who didn't write well, feel a little sore when they read it.
However, Chu Yu was able to write a letter, which is also a kind of progress. Many people in Heishanzhai may have such progress!
Soon, Huo Hai saw another letter under this letter, Feibai style, with beautiful fonts, but the strokes are very powerful. At first glance, he was specially practiced. Who said that his father was the founder of Feibai style?
"You're a liar."
Cai Zhaoji's first sentence made Huo Hai a little stunned. Then, the content behind made Huo Hai realize that this girl who had only seen one or two faces was in her innocent years.
"It turns out that you took me to Heishan Village for my father's collection of books.
However, your plan succeeded.
Because, I like the books and printing workshops here so much.
I have completed the dictation and layout editing of most books. I believe that it won’t take long. No, now, your Heishan Village is the place with the most books in the world.
Are you curious why I wrote to you in such straightforward words?
Because Yu'er and the others said that you don't read many books, and you always think that the book left by Zhang Jiao is obscure and difficult to understand.
Moreover, the paper you have is worth, so I have to write as much as possible, as it is a benefit for you to deceive me into Heishanzhai!
However, you have so many benefits here…”
This girl must have been too curious about herself, and she talked endlessly. However, from her letter, Huo Hai realized the perspective of an outsider looking at Heishanzhai.
It turns out that a person who first arrived in Heishan Village would think that there was a good place.
It turns out that a person who lived in a Tongdu Dayi like Luoyang since childhood did not have any sense of superiority in Heishanzhai.
Cai Zhaoji only stayed there for a month and then worshiped seven masters. Now, she has been there for 30 or 40 months, so the number of masters has reached 30 or 40.
Because she felt it was wonderful everywhere, she wanted to understand, and she wanted to learn.
Of course, the number of her masters is far less than that of her students. Even though she did not formally teach in the temporary school set up by Huo Hai, hundreds of children from Heishan Village have learned to recognize words, arithmetic, etc., and these people will be of great use to Huo Hai in the future.
