Chapter 31 Civil and Military Affairs
In fact, Zhang Hao was not very interested in talking with Cai Yong and others about the pros and cons of the Han Dynasty's current affairs, and what is the calculation of learning classics, literature and history. But there was no way. For the sake of future development, Zhang Hao could only accompany him with all his heart.
It was also lucky to listen to Cai Yong playing the piano in person, and he also recorded it on his mobile phone.
Unfortunately, for him, if Cai Yan had played the piano, he would have been more interested.
After getting familiar with Cai Yong, Zhang Hao made indirect comments and learned that Cai Yan was still in the Wei family in Hedong at this time, which means that her short-lived ghost husband might not have died yet, which made Zhang Hao feel a little regretful. Well, it seems to be a bit bad to say this, but there is no way, this is his true thought.
These talents are very interested in the various affairs of Zhang Hao’s manor. After all, I have seen too many unheard things here. The objections to Zhang Hao’s advocacy of engineering have also changed with the results they have seen with their own eyes.
In addition, Zhang Hao found a suitable job for these great talents, which was to compile new laws. Zhang Hao mentioned the various negligences of the Han Dynasty, which aroused the interest of these great talents.
Before, he had been watching coldly and watching Zhang Hao use familiar routines to win over his relationship with these talents, Tian Feng, who was mixed but always silent. After Zhang Hao mentioned this matter, he finally stopped silent.
Although it was a bit unrepentant to the rebellion of Zhang Hao, Tian Feng knew that he had no way to stop him. It didn't mean that he didn't understand the truth before, just because he received education since childhood, he was a little unacceptable.
But what Zhang Hao mentioned this time really touched him. What a grand cause it is to compile a new law! There is no doubt that if the compilation is successful, it will definitely be left in history. This is a huge temptation for any literati. Especially if you understand Zhang Hao's various advantages and know that there is no accident, Zhang Hao will definitely succeed. Then this law will become the foundation of the law of a new dynasty, and the temptation will be even greater.
Consoling that everything was for the sake of the people, Tian Feng, who had been reserved for two days, finally couldn't stand it after Zhang Hao personally begged for mercy.
Compared with Cai Yong and others, Tian Feng came earlier, read more modern information, and knew better about the various defects of Han law. In particular, Tian Feng knew Zhang Hao's goals and could master the tone of this law.
So Zhang Hao was very happy that Tian Feng was willing to help.
Originally, Cai Yong and others had a bad impression of Tian Feng. After all, after they came, when they met Tian Feng, Tian Feng always had a stern face and didn't like to talk. This attitude made people think that he was arrogant and looked down on others. Naturally, others could not be too hot and cold. They were all literati and had a good face.
This time, Tian Feng participated in it personally, and saw Tian Feng's talent and learned that he was not arrogant, but his personality was a bit tough, so his relationship with each other became much better.
A group of people, combining the laws of the past dynasties and loopholes discovered by the past dynasties, and together with the laws of various dynasties downloaded by Zhang Hao from the modern times, began to study a law suitable for today's era.
There is no doubt that this law was intended to be used by Zhang Hao for rebellion. With such a law as the premise, the benefits of rebellion are self-evident.
Zhang Hao also specially selected a group of young people to follow Cai Yong and others to receive teaching.
This group of young people were selected by Zhang Hao from private schools. The so-called private schools were just that they could not find a more suitable name. In fact, it was more suitable to call it the Zhengshi Hall, but it was obvious that such a name was somewhat beyond the rules, so they could only be named an inappropriate private school.
This is the seeds of future officials prepared by Zhang Hao. They are all poor scholars selected from refugees and those who know how to read and calculate. They specialize in teaching the Chinese law and telling the behavior and experience of famous officials in history.
As for the effect, Zhang Hao is not clear. But it is much better than rushing to recruit officials and scholars in the future. At least these people know Zhang Hao’s requirements better.
This aspect is a literary matter, and Zhang Hao will not ignore the military matter. Since Huang Zhongdianwei established the guard team, Zhang Hao has participated.
With the teachings of experts like Huang Zhong, coupled with sufficient nutrition and top-notch military ordnance, the guard team grew rapidly and the number of people increased. Zhang Hao, who lacked a sense of security and had great ambitions, did not care about the huge consumption of the army at all and was working hard to expand.
After the escort team was skilled in training, they began to take turns serving as caravan guards and endured some tests. But this was obviously not possible, and they still needed practical training.
According to Xi Zhicai's proposal, Zhang Hao sent 3,000 people to Youzhou by boat. Whether he was acting as a horse thief or an escort, he would conduct some practical training first.
Zhang Hao still couldn't bear it when Xi Zhicai suggested pretending to be a thief or the Yellow Turban.
Whether it is acting as a thief or the Yellow Turbans' help to Zhang Hao is obvious, but in that case, it will inevitably cause harm to the civilians. Zhang Hao feels that he is not a good person, but he cannot bear to do such things. He even did not do anything to contact the Yellow Turbans.
If you want to train in practice, there are many opportunities outside. Just like being at a stronghold on the border of Youzhou, Zhang Hao doesn’t care about it when facing foreign races.
Later, after discussing with Xi Zhicai, Zhang Hao was ready to wait until the guards adapted to the battle and simply attacked Sanhan through warships. Sanhan is not a country now, but it is more like a tribal alliance, but it is still enough to be used as a whetstone.
That way, not only the army, but also the navy can train.
The three-Han side has not started yet, but the stronghold on the Youzhou border has been very smooth.
The Wuhuan in Youzhou suffered heavy losses in the previous rebellion and was recruited by Liu Yu. However, there were too many alien races on the border, such as Goguryeo and the Xianbei often took advantage of the situation to rob. Zhang Hao simply asked the guards of Youzhou to rob Goguryeo and other tribes.
Although there are quite a few casualties, the harvest is even greater. At least the guard can be called an army.
Through this series of measures, the strength of Zhang Hao's army has increased rapidly, and the number has also increased rapidly.
Nowadays, if all the armed personnel are counted together, there are more than 20,000 people. However, a group of people have set up strongholds on overseas islands with the navy, practicing artillery and other killing weapons in such a desolate place.
There are only a few thousand people who stayed in Linshui County, which is not very eye-catching. In this era, wealthy families have all raised a large number of guards. In addition, the business in Zhanghao Manor is becoming more and more developed, and the entire Wu County knows that there is a wealthy merchant in Linshui County, so it is normal for more guards to be more.
Since Zhang Hao began to use mystery to increase his prestige, when the guards were formed and were about to go to Youzhou to exercise, Zhang Hao would show the guards a miracle. He told the lie that he was Zi Wei who came down to earth to revive the universe.
Although many people have vaguely heard that Zhang Hao was a celestial being descended to earth before, this time it was Zhang Hao who personally declared it to them.
The so-called miracle is that Zhang Hao used the storage space to collect things out of thin air. A large amount of white rice flour and big money weapons fell out of thin air, which gave people a particularly strong shock.
Most of these guards were selected from refugees. Zhang Hao gave them a stable life so that they could support their parents, wives and children, and their loyalty was not low. After the miracle, Zhang Hao promised some statements such as going to heaven after death, and those who have meritorious will become gods. This made the guards burst out in morale and loyalty.
The reason for using this method is that Zhang Hao must firmly grasp the army. And the army with firm belief is the most terrifying army. Moreover, the escorts are far away from Youzhou, and Zhang Hao cannot let go without this method.
Although I believe in the loyalty of Taishici and others, Zhang Hao still added this insurance. Perhaps this is a common problem for the superiors?!
Many guards were stationed in various places, but they would take turns to take vacations and return to Wujun to rest. Zhang Hao showed several miracles, which allowed most of the guards to witness them with their own eyes. Even though some of them had not seen them, they had their own opinions and influences, and they had already chosen their faith.
Under all kinds of means, Zhang Hao's power is thriving and everything is developing in a good direction.
Now it can be said that Zhang Hao has passed the most difficult stage of his starting work. He is lucky. He has not had any omissions in his development process, nor has he been suspected, but he has barely suppressed it through bribery, assassination, and even pretending to be a thief.
Finally, I have reached the moment when I have a certain foundation now.
What made Zhang Hao even more happy was that Cai Yan came to Wujun.
Wei Zhongdao, a short-lived ghost, died after all. Cai Yan was considered to be abusing her husband and was not welcomed by her husband's family and could only return to her parents' house.
Cai Yong lived in seclusion in Wujun, so she chose to come to Wujun to serve her father.
