Dawei Fanghua

Qin Liang walked back to the city.The total distance is only two or three miles, and it takes less than two seconds to walk.

This road should be the one that Qin Liang takes the most.Enter the city from Jianchun Gate and go straight west until you reach a crossroads and you will see Cao Shuang's General's Mansion.Then turn left and turn south. To the west is Caoshuang Mansion, and to the east are Buguangli and Yongheli.

To the north of this place are Yong'an Palace, Taicang and the Arsenal.Qin Liang has discovered that if you want to go to Taicang and the arsenal from the city, you must pass by the General's Mansion.

Because it is close to the palace and various government offices, there are very few people on this stretch of road. Most of the people who pass by from time to time are riding horse-drawn carriages.Qin Liang walked silently. Most of the time, he could only see the monotonous inner walls of earth and wood on both sides.It is these walls that divide the city into countless sections.

After a while, Qin Liang saw that a section of the double-slope eaves on the inner wall on the left was broken, and he immediately had psychological expectations.Sure enough, as soon as we passed the broken wall, we immediately smelled the distinct scent of osmanthus.

The day he arrived in Luoyang, he smelled the fragrance of osmanthus. In just two days, the natural flowering period had not passed.

When walking alone, the boring process reminded him of many things.Even those past events that took place nearly 2000 years ago, he remembered very clearly, and he felt more and more trance-like unknowingly.

He could think of the struggles and perseverance in his previous life, and those feelings seemed like they happened yesterday.He couldn't return to his hometown, so he tried his best to buy a house in the city, just to put down roots in a fertile place. His hope that the house would not be auctioned was the hope he held on to.

At least there is some hope.But after he came to Wei State, he saw that the attached farmers worked every day but had neither enough food nor clothing to keep them warm. The land was not theirs and most of the fruits of their labor had been taken away. A slight disaster would destroy their families. He really couldn't think of it. Find out where people's hope lies and how they persist in surviving.

It is said that people's ability to empathize is innate. Qin Liang thinks it makes sense. He is probably a person who is naturally more likely to empathize.

In fact, he didn't want to think so much, he just couldn't control himself.Because he is the owner of the manor and not a peasant, so what does it have to do with him that others are miserable?Therefore, during the two years that Qin Liang was in Pingyuan County, he did think about living in seclusion and becoming an ostrich.But that was just a deliberate evasion, and he never felt at ease.For a period of time, he often went to work in the fields himself, probably to make up for this feeling of guilt...

This street is wider than the Miyagi corridor, and the inner walls on both sides are not as tall as the corridor.In the next many days, Qin Liang walked almost every day, but after that he was always on the carriage and rarely observed the scenery outside.

Only the scent of osmanthus comes to my nose every time.

According to Chen An's kind reminder on the first day, the first thing Qin Liang did after arriving at the General's Mansion every morning was to visit Sun Changshi.This happens every day, never an exception.

Then what he did most was to read books, such as Liu Tao, Wei Liao, Qi Sun Tzu, etc., which just made up for the blind spots of knowledge in his previous life and matured the theory first.Of course, he would also read some documents from the imperial court. You can see various memorials in Cao Shuang's mansion.

At this time, powerful people and nobles usually had family education, and their families should have a lot of books. Ancient books were something that many people could see, and they were not considered scarce.However, being able to read the memorials and documents of the current dynasty is the privilege of a few people.

Qin Liang's official position is Cao Shuang's assistant and counselor, and of course he can read various documents.Come to think of it, being an idle official is not completely without benefits.

As long as someone has read the classics thoroughly and has a good foundation in ancient prose, there will be no obstacles in reading ancient books and memorials. Qin Liang has practiced in Taixue, so of course there will be no problem.In his eyes, ancient documents are much simpler than codes, and there is basically no difficulty.

However, the information in memorials and documents is relatively complex, and often contains irrelevant information and obscure and unintuitive content. Therefore, if you want to truly understand what you see, you also need some comprehensive information capabilities and experience. Not all officials have the talent.

Today, Qin Liang entered the General's Mansion with his waist badge as usual.Passing through the west corridor of the front courtyard, you will arrive at the official office of Chang Shi.

Chang Shi Sun Li was already in the hall, maybe it was too early, he was the only one sitting on his knees and writing.Qin Liang first said at the door: "Liang, please see Mr. Sun." Then he walked in and bowed his head and saluted.

Sun Li also stood up to return the courtesy, and then knelt down behind the tables again.Qin Liang found a cushion on the side and sat down, preparing to say a few words to Sun Li and ask if there were any special errands today.

At this time, Sun Li paused the pen in his hand for a moment, raised his head to look at Qin Liang, and suddenly called out: "Zhong Ming."

Qin Liang bowed deeply and immediately responded: "Liang is here."

Sun Li said: "You don't have to be so attentive, I won't be able to stay in the General's Mansion for long."

Qin Liang was stunned for a moment.Sun Li was indeed very straightforward in his speech sometimes, which suddenly made Qin Liang lose his ability.

If the answer is careless, doesn't it mean that Qin Liang comes to see him every day to flatter his boss?Although Qin Liang is no longer as noble as the previous rumors, after all, everyone is a decent person, and it is not good to make the atmosphere too vulgar.

Or does it mean that the tea will cool down when people leave?As long as Sun Li is no longer his boss, can Qin Liang disrespect Sun Li from now on?Qin Liang was silent for a while and then said: "Liang heard that Gong once followed Taizu in the north and south. Although Liang was born as a scholar, his ambition was to serve in the army, so he respects Gong Sun in particular."

"Oh?" Sure enough, Sun Li was a little surprised by such an answer. He put the brush in his hand directly on the inkstone, apparently interested and ready to say a few more words.

Qin Liang not only did not follow Sun Li's words and flatter him, but he also did not say anything like "Sun Li should be respected even if he is not a long history man." Qin Liang only put the reason on the difference between being a civil servant and a warrior, at least on the surface, it was gone. Obviously meant as a compliment.

It was not unusual for Qin Liang to say that he aspired to serve in the army. In this era, there was not much distinction between civil servants and military generals. In fact, many of the people who led the army were nobles and scholars.Not to mention Zhuge Liang, even Sima Yi, the most capable fighter in the Wei Kingdom today, was born in a noble family in Hanoi and started his official career as a civil servant.

Sun Li asked: "Why do you want to lead troops?"

Qin Liang found that Sun Li was staring at him and asking questions seriously.His gaze made Qin Liang a little nervous.

When I met Cao Shuang before, I didn't feel much nervous, because Cao Shuang said at the beginning that Qin Liang was very considerate, and he obviously passed the interview.On the contrary, at this time, Qin Liang felt like he was going to a company to answer questions for an interview.

Qin Liang said: "China is in dire straits and the people are suffering. If we want to bring order to the world, we must first end the wars, and then we can reduce military disasters and reduce internal friction. Today's Wei Dynasty is located in the Central Plains, with a vast territory and a large number of people. It has the unshirkable responsibility to unify the world. Only the army can That's the solution, everything else can only scratch the surface at the moment."

After hearing this, Sun Li smiled slightly and said casually: "The ambition is not small, but Zhong Ming is young, so it should be so."

When Qin Liang saw this, he felt that Sun Li might be a little dissatisfied with his words.

Sun Li's reaction was also normal. At this time, people did not have many national concepts, and the spiritual beliefs of the ministers were nothing more than loyalty and filial piety.However, Cao Wei usurped the Han Dynasty and did not promote loyalty; filial piety was not very particular. For example, when Cao Pi died and had a funeral, his son Cao Rui simply didn't go because he thought the weather was too hot. There were no taboos about wine, meat and women.

Therefore, most of the ministers of the Wei Kingdom lacked faith. Whether they were serving as officials or fighting in wars, they were mostly doing it for their own power and to protect the interests of the group. After all, it was only a purely logical relationship to overthrow the nest without leaving any eggs intact.The soldiers were probably forced to survive in order to survive.

However, Qin Liang did not talk about loyalty and filial piety, only about suffering.So Sun Li didn't take it seriously at first, and then he started to think deeply, not knowing what he was thinking.

There was silence in the hall for a while. Sun Li glanced at Qin Liang again, as if guessing Qin Liang's true heart. Sun Li then asked: "Then what do you think a soldier is?"

Soldiers are the place of life and death, the path to survival.This is the definition of grandson.

Qin Liang didn't want to fool Sun Li, nor did he want to treat Sun Li, an ancient man, as a fool who didn't understand anything.Qin Liang's attitude was at least very serious. He thought for a moment and said: "A few days ago, I saw someone fighting on the street. One was strong and the other was thin. They had a disagreement at first and then got into a fight. The strong one knocked the thin one to the ground. Just as he was about to leave, the thin man picked up a stone from behind and suddenly hit the strong man with a bloody head."

Sun Li did not interrupt him and listened with interest.

Qin Liang added: "The strong man turned back and beat the thin man again until he was covered with bruises and unable to move. He also asked the thin man to promise in public that he would listen to him from now on. The two of them agreed. The fight ended."

Sun Li let out a laugh.

Qin Liang said: "Soldiers mean fights expand. When there are too many people fighting, if you don't pay attention to the rules, it will become a tactic or a chaos. Many people form an army and fight with rules and orders. It can be effective, and the purpose is to relieve the other party's resistance and force the other party to unconditionally comply with one's wishes. When the two parties cannot negotiate, this is the final way."

Sun Li said: "The way to survive or die must be observed. Zhong Ming's statement is a bit novel, but it is true."

Qin Liang immediately said: "Liang once studied Confucian classics in Taixue, and there is no family tradition. Only Qin Gong (Qin Lang) was a general and served in the imperial court. Today's gentry are very fond of metaphysics, so Liang can't say much. It's too late to meet Mr. Sun."

Sun Li was not from a noble family. Hearing this, he nodded slightly subconsciously, seeming to have a closer impression of Qin Liang.

At this time, there were clerks waiting outside to deliver documents. Qin Liang remembered that it was morning and the Chief Minister had some official business, so it was not convenient to talk too much.Qin Liang then stood up and said goodbye to Sun Li.Sun Li also stood up, and the two bowed to each other.

It was another ordinary day, and Qin Liang was going back to his office to read something.
