Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Page 182

The young scholar froze for a moment, frowned and said impatiently: "What Beihai Chengguo? I don't know it at all. You guys leave here quickly, and don't interfere with my teaching for schoolchildren."

Liu Xi was well-known in Jiaozhou, and this was the first time he was deflated in front of Confucian scholars, but he didn't know that the person in front of him was from Qianshou, and he didn't even know the celebrities who were praised by the gentry.

"It doesn't matter if we don't know each other. We just passed by here, and just now we heard the sound of reading loudly and the elegant style of writing. I wonder whose masterpiece the children are reciting?" Liu Xi asked politely, clasping his hands.

The teaching scholar saw that the clothes of the two people were not like ordinary people, but he didn't know where they came from, so he didn't want to show the thousand-character prose lightly to others. Children can be sent, and they learn to retell the two..."

Yao Qi immediately became angry when he heard that, he pointed out his fingers and said, "You are so rude, Mr. Cheng Guo is a virtuous corporal, but you make things difficult for us for no reason, how can you be so unreasonable?"

The teaching student also lost his temper, and he replied coldly: "Are you here to make trouble? Meng Xuetang does not allow you to act wildly, if you don't leave, I will sue the government."

After hearing this, Yao Qi looked at Liu Xi and smiled, his white beard shaking in the wind with joy.

Chapter 387 I'm Not Sleepless

After laughing, Yao Qi said cheerfully, "Are you really going to sue the officials? I am Yao Qi, the Panyu Commander. I passed by here today in a micro-fu. Let's go to see the Luo County Magistrate together?"

Although the professor of Meng Xuetang is young and lacks experience, he is an intellectual who has read books, so he is not that hard-headed.

Seeing Yao Qi's self-identification, he asked cautiously: "The Lord Fu once said when he founded Quanling Academy, 'Academy needs a quiet environment, so that we can concentrate and benefit from it.' Quanling Academy has a school guard. However, there are too few students in Meng Xuetang, so there is no allocation, and I hope you will forgive me if I am rude."

"Mr. Lan Fu attaches great importance to running a school. I have traveled all over the world and I have never seen such a feudal lord. It is really gratifying to think about it." Liu Xi sighed.

When the professor heard Liu Xi mentioning Lantian, his immature face instantly turned into a look of admiration.

"Mr. Jiu Gongyan, the representative of Quanling Academy, said that Mr. Xuan Xiao, the governor of the government, wants to apply righteousness to the world, and whether he succeeds or fails, it will be the credit of the whole world."

Seeing that Liu Xi was at a loss, Yao Qi quickly explained: "The wine offered by this little gentleman should be Jiang Wan and Jiang Gongyan from Xiangxiang Township in Lingling, who are now the directors of the Quanling Book and News Agency, offering wine on behalf of the Quanling Academy. "

"I've heard the name of this person, and his evaluation is very pertinent." Liu Xi nodded.

"It is inconvenient for us to send the children to the school. Mr. Cheng Guo is a guest invited by the Lord Fu. Can I borrow the 'textbook' in your hand?" Seeing that the atmosphere eased, Yao Qi immediately raised the banner of Lantian.

Seeing that this young man admired Lan Tian so much, Yao Qi would definitely not refuse his request now.

"Since you are a guest of the Fujun, what else do you need to say? The two of you just browse through it at will." As expected, the teacher quickly brought a thousand-character text book from the house.

At that time, paper was not widely used, and bamboo slips were still used for records in various places. Liu Xi was very curious when he saw books made of paper, but he was quickly attracted by the contents inside.

Liu Xi finished reading the thousand-character prose quickly, then sighed leisurely and said, "Although these thousand-character prose are all commonly used characters, they cover a comprehensive and profound meaning. It's really great for enlightening wisdom. I don't know which genius wrote it?"

"It must be someone Mr. Cheng Guo knows."

Yao Qi hurriedly bowed his hands to compliment him. There are countless scholars in the world, and he is definitely someone Liu Xi knows.

"Thousand-Character Essay was written by the Lord of the Lan Mansion. Although he pretended to be written by an unknown family member from his hometown, everyone guessed that it was the Lord himself, including Quanling Jiang Jijiu." The teacher said.

Liu Xi nodded, "I heard that Mr. Lanfu is from Xuzhou. I have never heard of such a talent. Jiang Gongyan's analysis is no problem. Mr. Lanfu does have the talent to help the world, but he has such talent but he doesn't want to be famous. Seriously." There are strange people in the world."

Seeing that Liu Xi praised Lan Tian for his affection, the teacher became more polite, bowed his hands and asked, "The two gentlemen have come from a long way, do you need me to take you to see Luo County Magistrate?"

Yao Qi's main purpose of this trip was to accompany him. He looked at Liu Xi to see what the other party meant. Liu Xi shook his head and replied, "Oh... let's not bother the county magistrate Luo. How about going back to Guangxin? I suddenly changed my mind."

"Have you agreed to Fu Jun's request?" Yao Qi was overjoyed.

Liu Xi nodded affirmatively, "Mr. Lanfu holds Jiaozhou Qiankun in his hands. As long as he doesn't rush for quick success and quick profits to take the Central Plains, there is still a great chance of success. I would like to have a talk with him."

"If the Lord Fu knew it, he would be very happy, but it's already getting late, why don't we leave tomorrow morning?" Yao Qi reminded.

"Let's go now, let's rest on the boat." Liu Xi hadn't been this excited for a long time.

Yao Qi stroked his beard and nodded: "Mr. Duyi."

The two bid farewell to the young teacher and went straight to the Yushui Wharf outside the city.

At this time, the sun had already slanted to the west, and the clouds in the sky glowed with golden light, and the cloud shapes with little scales formed a pair of huge wings spread out.

Mengling is relatively close to Guangxin, and it only takes an hour by boat with smooth wind and water. If the sailors on the boat work hard, they can arrive there without taking too long a night road.

Liu Xi said suddenly on the boat: "I forgot to ask about the paper book recording the Thousand Characters, and I don't know where this paper book came from. Such a convenient thing is too convenient for recording."

Yao Qi replied: "I have heard about this. It should come from Jiang Gongyan's Book and Newspaper Office. This new government office was also established by the Fujun."

Liu Xi stroked his beard and nodded, thinking, "Lan Ziyu, Mr. Xuan Xiao, who is he? Why did the old man never hear of it in the first half of his life? How can such a person be unknown?"

Yao Qi sighed and said, "From the thousand-character prose, you can see Fu Jun's thoughts. He likes to do practical things and not to seek fame, so he has not become famous all over the world."

Liu Xi smiled wryly: "If Sun Zhongmou hadn't tested his depth, I don't know how long this Mr. Xuanxiao will have to hide."

"Sun Quan originally threatened Shi Xie to return the Nanhai badge, but after the Shi family gave Nanhai to the Fujun, there was no further movement on the Jiangdong side, but he heard that Sun Quan demoted Shi Xie's eldest son, Shi Qian, to a common man, but he dared not speak to the Fufu. Don't you think it's ridiculous for you to say something cruel?" Yao Qi asked.

Liu Xi shook his head: "It's a pity that the bloody Sun Wentai..."

There were very few bandits under Lantian's rule. Whether it was the former Quanling or the current Guangxin, he delayed the closing of the city gates and opened night markets in the city, which not only gave the people more opportunities to make a living, but also Let the city's fireworks last longer.

During the Chinese New Year, Guangxin did not close the gates of the city all night, and it did not return to normal until the end of the fifteenth day.

Yao Qi and Liu Xi entered the city not long after nightfall, and the brightly lit streets were still full of tourists, because the government did not collect taxes and fees at night, so there were a lot of small merchants doing business.

Such a picture is unbelievable in a troubled world.Not only are Panyu and Shixie extremely difficult to see, even Xudu where the emperor is located is not common. It takes a lot of effort to do all this. On the one hand, it reflects the strong control of the government, and on the other hand, it also reflects The sense of security of the local people.

The gentry officials all have mansions and courtyards, and their nightlife is much richer than that of ordinary people. At present, the city has lit the lights for the people. Although they don't have big houses and bright lights, the bustling street market can also give people comfort.

"I don't want Jiaozhou to have such a night scene. It seems that the old man made the right decision today. Brother Yao should have been here before. Was there such a scene back then?" Liu Xi asked curiously.

Yao Qi shook his head, "Wu Ju was lucky enough to come here when he was the prefect of Cangwu, but there was no such excitement back then..."

Liu Xi guessed that it might have something to do with Lantian. Because he and Yao Qi hadn't had dinner yet, they simply bought food on the side of the road to satisfy their hunger. They got definite news from several stall owners that Guangxin changed drastically after arriving in Lantian. It took less than three months for this night market to emerge.

The two stopped and walked on the street until the number of pedestrians on the street gradually decreased, and then they returned to the post house to rest. Liu Xi couldn't sleep that night, and the image of Lantian was always in his mind.

Liu Xi kept repeating a question in his mind: Who did Lan Ziyu learn from?

Chapter 388 A Loving Mother with a Stick in Her Hand

In the early morning of the next day, Liu Xi dragged Yao Qi to the door.

At this time, Lan Tian is still in the back house with his wife and children. He has given full power to Xia Houqi in the government affairs of Cangwu County. Except for the occasional intervention by the new government departments such as the Medical Administration, most of them are left to the free use of officials at all levels, just like raising children. There are opportunities for trial and error, and the ability of the subordinates will grow only if they have enough room for growth.

Lan Tian likes to constantly cultivate talents and let the subordinates share his work, instead of doing everything by himself like Zhuge Liang. He didn't expect to die of overwork in ancient times.

A healthy working environment means that each person performs their duties. The county magistrate has the responsibilities of the county magistrate, and the state shepherd has the affairs of the state shepherd. This is like grasping sand with bare hands.

Lan Tian didn't work in the main hall, and Yao Qi didn't dare to disturb him in the back house, but he was lucky to see Gao Yuan, the chief guard.

"General Gao, is Mr. Lan Fu now at the house?" Yao Qile stepped forward and asked.

Gao Yuan had discovered the two of them a long time ago, but he complained in his heart that Liu Xi was ignorant of flattery, so he ignored them at all.

Now that Yao Qi took the initiative to ask the question, Gao Yuan replied coldly: "Sir, he has worked hard for Jiaozhou all day, and at this time he is still resting in the back house..."

After Yao Qi's experience in officialdom, he immediately saw that Gao Yuan's expression was wrong, and immediately said with a smile, "Then let's wait for a while."

Gao Yuan continued to patrol the courtyard, and when he walked a little further, Liu Xi smiled awkwardly: "It seems that the old man rejected the Fujun yesterday, which made the guard beside him displeased."

Yao Qi immediately stopped him: "Sir, be careful, this person is always with the lord, not an ordinary guard..."

Liu Xi suddenly remembered that Gao Yuan was the one who rode wildly that day, so he shook his head and smiled wryly: "What brother Yao said is very true, then let's wait a while..."

Patrolling aimlessly on the plateau, he walked into the back house without knowing it. At this time, Lan Tian was doing morning exercises with his two sons. Although the climate in Guangxin was warmer than that in the Central Plains, it was still cold in the early morning of the first month.

Lan Tian and Lu Lingqi were playing Wu Qin Xi in the yard, while the two children practiced footwork beside them.

Lu Lingqi taught her son just like Lu Bu taught him. Before practicing weapons, he had to practice footwork and footwork. When he was older, he had to practice riding, bow and arrow, and finally practice halberd technique based on spearmanship.

"Mother, when will we be able to practice weapons? It's no fun for me and my eldest brother to practice footwork. We will fight on horses in the future. It's useless to practice this, right?" Lan Ji practiced for a while and was a little overwhelmed.

Lan Tian stopped his movements and asked with a smile, "Do you want to learn Wu Qin Xi?"

Wuqinxi is a health-preserving skill, and it was not prestigious in that era of slaughter, so Lan Ji showed a look of disgust. Seeing this, Lan Yuan said: "Mother said Wuqinxi is not good at all, she let me play it when I was older. It’s better to lay a solid foundation, besides, Wu Qin Xi is quite simple, we both know how to watch it..."

Lu Lingqi glared at Lan Yuan, thinking what are you talking about, kid?Your father is very good at practicing Wu Qinxi. Hua Tuo's kung fu can be learned by everyone and does not need to be practiced since childhood. It can be said that the difficulty of getting started is extremely low.

"Husband, don't listen to Yuan'er's nonsense, Wu Qin Xi is still very good..." Lu Lingqi quickly explained.

Lan Tian shook his head and smiled slightly: "Practicing martial arts requires children's kung fu. Xiaojun taught me a little late, and I was always busy in Jingzhou, so I chose Mr. Hua's Wu Qinxi, but I insisted on practicing for half an hour every morning and evening. , I haven’t been sick all these years, and I’m still full of energy.”

"Yes, yes, Mr. Hua's Wu Qin Xi is very suitable for you." Lu Lingqi agreed.

"It's a pity that my elder sister is not active, or she should learn the Wu Qinxi. She drifts around with her brother-in-law, and I don't know if getting older will affect it." Lan Tian sighed.

"Mother, what kind of kung fu is suitable for us now?" Lan Ji suddenly interrupted and asked.

Lu Lingqi found a small bamboo stick in the courtyard, then pointed to the two brothers and said: "I am using this bamboo stick as a weapon now, you two only need to dodge in front, if you can avoid being touched by the bamboo stick, I will teach you weapons. "

"Good." Lan Ji was overjoyed.

Lan Yuan asked suspiciously: "We are all children, mother's martial arts are so high, how can we stop..."

"Brother is right, why don't you let father dance the stick?" Lan Ji suggested.

"Then how?" Lu Lingqi frowned.

Lan Tian thought not to be looked down upon by his son, so he asked for a bamboo stick from Lu Lingqi and said, "If I come, I will come. You can rest assured that you will be a husband."

Lu Lingqi will not stop father and son from getting close. She is not worried that Lan Tian will hurt her sons, but she is worried that it will be difficult for the bamboo stick to touch Lan Yuan and Lan Ji. After all, these two children have been practicing footwork for a year. As alert as a monkey.

"Husband, use the dog-beating stick method." Lu Lingqi whispered in Lan Tian's ear.

Lan Tian was startled when he heard that, "It's all fabricated, there is no dog-beating stick in this world..."

"Ah? Is it true? Then you should be careful, don't underestimate these two brothers, if it doesn't work, replace me." Lu Lingqi still doesn't quite believe it.

At this time, Lan Yuan and Lan Ji were posing in the courtyard, waiting quietly for Lan Tian's stick attack.

Although Lu Lingqi was teaching children basic skills at the age of three or four, they were still weak children in Lan Tian's eyes. Lu Lingqi told herself not to be ironic, right?

Holding bamboo sticks in both hands, he exhorted kindly, "Children, you should be careful."

Lan Tian used the bamboo stick to sweep away thousands of troops first. Because he was worried about hurting the legs of his two sons, he intentionally slowed down the speed of his moves. Unexpectedly, both Lan Yuan and Lan Ji avoided it easily.

Lan Yuan and Lan Ji looked at each other, thinking that this is too simple, right?

Lan Tian saw that the two had some skills, and the speed of their moves became faster and faster, but Lan Yuan and Lan Ji dodged with ease, and they did not touch the corners of the two children's clothes after attacking more than ten times in a row.

how can that be?Lan Tian doubted himself a little, why are the two children so sensitive?

"Husband, let me attack. It's not good to pamper them all the time." Lu Lingqi walked to Lan Tian's side to rescue him.

Lan Tian couldn't help handing over the bamboo stick. He really wanted to say that he had tried his best. In this spacious yard, there was too much room for the two children to move around, and his short bamboo stick couldn't reach it at all.

"Enough is the point," Lan Tian instructed.

"I can save it." Lu Lingqi nodded.

Lu Lingqi held the bamboo stick in a completely different manner. The bamboo stick looked like a spear, like a halberd drawn by Fang Tian. Flowers bloomed at every step of her feet, and her slender waist twisted to drive the strength of her arms, turning the 'weapon' in her hand into a part of her body .

The bamboo stick sometimes spits out letters like a spirit snake, and sometimes spreads its wings like a big roc, Lu Lingqi moves like a rabbit, walks like a dragon, and the intensive rushing and attacking is as smooth as a swallow dancing.

clap clap clap...

Lu Lingqi pressed, swept, stabbed, or picked. Although the children tried their best to dodge, half of the sticks fell on the flesh.

There is a saying: a loving mother slaps a stick in her hand, and a wanderer slashes on her body, twelve sticks in one second, and the stick strikes critically...

Chapter 389 Although the road is far away, it is approaching

Because Lu Lingqi used force but not strength, although Lan Yuan and Lan Ji were beaten many times with bamboo sticks, they only suffered some pain in the skin and flesh, and did not hurt the muscles and bones.

Lan Yuan and Lan Ji had relatively good comprehension skills. After Lu Lingqi survived the same attack twice, she began to consciously dodge with her practiced footwork.

"Mother, don't attack, let's continue to practice footwork." Lan Ji stepped aside when he saw the opportunity, and the flesh under his clothes was made hot by Lu Lingqi's fried pork with bamboo shoots.

After Lan Yuan supported Lan Ji with two independent moves, he found that his mother, Lu Lingqi, had stopped attacking.

"Will you continue to practice footwork in the future?" Lu Lingqi asked meaningfully.

Lan Yuan and Lan Ji nodded at the same time. Without the blessing of footwork practiced for a long time, the whipping on the two children would be half as much.

Lu Lingqi looked at Lan Tian's brows tightly furrowed, knowing that he still loves the child from the bottom of his heart, but she couldn't let Lan Tian lose his father's majesty, so she said in a deep voice: "It was your father who was reluctant just now, otherwise I don't need to take action, no matter what I do Worry, if you don't lay a solid foundation, you will suffer in the future, do you understand?"

"Understood." Lan Yuan and Lan Ji replied in unison.

Lan Tian saw that the two sons looked calm and knew that Lu Lingqi's stick was within the strength they could bear. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of Gao Yuan standing aside blankly.

"Didn't you go to patrol the courtyard? Why did you come back so soon? Is there something wrong?" Lan Tian asked continuously.

Gao Yuan pondered for a moment: "Magistrate Yao and Mr. Cheng Guo are here again. I told them that you are still resting in the back house, so let them wait obediently outside the main hall..."

Lan Tian was overjoyed when he heard the words, "Didn't they go to Mengling yesterday? It should be good news for the two of them to return now. I will go to the main hall after I change my clothes."

"Sir, what are you in a hurry for? If Liu Xi doesn't know current affairs, let them wait a little longer." Gao Yuan suggested.
