Chapter 368: The Confucian Library

Whether it is Cai Yong or Tian Feng, they are now in Liulin Village and quickly put into work.

In Liulin Village, Liu Xian gave them a high degree of freedom to show their talents. The most important thing is that the living atmosphere in Liulin Village is very good and makes people feel very comfortable.

In Liulin Village, the people there are different from the people in other places, they are full of vitality, everyone is working hard, busy for their new life, and living a full and comfortable life.

After Cai Yong and Tian Feng arrived in Yangshi County and Liulin Village, the first thing they did was to understand some of the explicit regulations that Liu Xian had formulated for the people in these places. These were all made in accordance with the Han Dynasty law, and finally some regulations were set for the people to follow.

Liu Xian also drew on the basic laws of China in later generations to revise them. In the future, it will also be the basic national law of the Han Dynasty.

Now, it is only implemented in Yangshi County and Liulin Village, which Liu Xian can control.

After Cai Yong and Tian Feng read it, they thought it was very good, and they even felt that it was better than the current Han regulations.

Under the guidance of these policies, the people can feel the benefits of complying with these basic regulations, and they can see the hope of a better life. Then it naturally creates a relatively rich living atmosphere.

Whether a place is good or not depends mainly on how the local people live.

In this way, Cai Yong and Tian Feng will fall in love with Yangshi County and Liulin Village, and they are willing to contribute to the people in these places.

For them, if the county and the place develop according to the rules set by Liu Xian, it will soon make the place prosperous and powerful. So what about the same strategy elsewhere? Does this also allow other places to prosper? Can it make life better for the people?

They are all famous people with a lot of wealth, and they will naturally see more and farther things. They all already admired Liu Xian, a young man, and felt that it might be a good choice to serve Liu Xian. Because it also gives them hope for the revitalization of the Han Dynasty.

Now this Tao Qiuhong, Liu Xian is sure that he also has ideals, at least, he will have a lot of enthusiasm. Otherwise, as soon as Wang Fen lobbied in history, he immediately agreed to participate in the uprising and wanted to destroy the emperor and set up a new emperor. The guy who even the emperor dares to kill is definitely not a person who is willing to be ordinary.

As long as he arrives in Liulin Village, Liu Xianneng can provide a platform for him to show what he has learned. When the time comes, Liu Xian believes that this Tao Qiuhong will definitely be like Cai Yong and Tian Feng, and he will not be able to leave.

Tao Qiuhong, as Liu Xian's matchmaker, represented Liu Xian to discuss some specific details of the marriage with the Kong family.

These Liu Xian were handed over to Tao Qiuhong. After talking about this, Huang Zhong personally sent the dowry gift to the Kong family from the Liu Mansion caravan camp outside the city, and these naturally asked Tao Qiuhong to hand over to the Kong family.

The Confucian family banquet ended in a stunning poem by Liu Xian, and after listening to this poem, no one was interested in continuing to eat and drink, and they were all thinking about the beauty of this poem.

Then after Cai Yong wrote Liu Xian's poems, everyone remembered them and dispersed.

Liu Xian naturally didn't want to be ugly, and his calligraphy really couldn't be on the table.

After that, Liu Xian did not leave, but at the invitation of Kong Rong and his wife, he went into Kong Rong's study to talk.

Liu Xian and Kong Xue's family affair actually has a little bit of a political marriage.

If it weren't for the family affairs that Ma Guiren of the Plains Mansion said to Liu Xian, then Kong Rong really wouldn't have agreed to marry his daughter to Liu Xian, he had to think about it for so long at that time, and even Ma Guiren thought that Kong Rong would not agree, and they all planned to target Cai Yan.

Liu Xian and Kong Xue got married, this is not to say that Liu Xian sent a dowry gift, even if he had some interests.

In this ancient era, any famous family, family or powerful family, they will definitely have their property, otherwise the family is big, how can they have so much money to maintain? Where is there so much money for them to live a leisurely and luxurious life?

And what kind of industry does the Confucian family have?

Liu Xian really doesn't know much about the Kong family's industry, and the tentacles of his intelligence system have not yet reached the Beihai. Historically, there is no information about what Kong Rong's Kong family did.

In ancient times, agriculture was valued over commerce, but it does not mean that there is no business. It's just that no one in the upper echelons of society in this era is willing to tell others that they are in business.

Sitting down in the study, Mrs. Kong personally poured a cup of tea for Liu Xian.

"Uncle Kong......"

"Your child, still called uncle?"

Liu Xiancai spoke, and Mrs. Kong interrupted with a disgusted face.

"Uh...... Then, the son-in-law will change his mind now. Father-in-law and mother-in-law are on top, please bow to your son-in-law! Liu Xian was suffocated, so he had to stand up, officially salute the two, and change his words to call them father-in-law and mother-in-law.

"Hehe, okay, sit down and talk. However, from now on, we will be a family. Therefore, we have some things that we can put forward and talk about openly. Kong Rong said with a satisfied smile.

"That's natural, if your father-in-law and mother-in-law have any other requests, please feel free to ask. As long as I Liu Xian can do it, I will definitely not push it back. Liu Xian also showed sincerity.

"Xian'er, Xue'er is indeed our sweetheart, usually a little spoiled, after she marries you, if there is anything that is not so thoughtful, you have to be more responsible. Mother knows that there are many women around you, like Cai Yan, the daughter of Lord Cai Yong, she is no worse than Xue'er, and even Cai Yan is still a talented girl. Mother said this, I just hope you still have to love more Xue'er, in your family, Xue'er's status also depends on your attitude towards her. Mrs. Kong said to Liu Xian with a hint of teaching.

"Please rest assured that Xue'er is the wife of the younger son-in-law and the eldest lady after all, so she will not be wronged. In the future, I will be in charge of the outside affairs, but if Xue'er wants to worry about the affairs at home, she can also be the master. ”

"Well, you just have to have that heart." Mrs. Kong said with confidence.

"Okay, don't talk about the long and short ones in these families." Kong Rong didn't let Mrs. Kong continue, waved his hand and said to Liu Xian: "Virtuous son-in-law, there are some things that I have to tell you clearly. This, in the eyes of others, our Kong family can be regarded as a thousand-year-old family, a famous family, and has a very high reputation among the people. However, these are actually superficial, in fact, our Kong family is also walking on thin ice, and if we are not careful, we may fall into a situation from which we will never recover. ”

"Oh? Can your father-in-law be clearer? ”

"Alas......" Kong Rong sighed and said with a bitter face: "The world only sees the surface scenery of the Kong family, but they can't see the potential crisis. In fact, other families are similar, the existence of a family depends on whether there are people in the court. Because no matter how famous and prestigious you are, a holy decree in the middle of the court can make your family go up in smoke. Therefore, the family must have someone in the court. But in Kong's generation, only Kong can enter the court as an official, but now the court is full of traitors, and Kong's official can't go on. ”

When Kong Rong said this, his eyes froze, and he looked at Liu Xiandao: "It's not that Kong doesn't want to stay in the court as an official, but it's really Kong who has offended people, and he can't speak in the court. Once this is convicted, then the entire Confucian family will be implicated. Therefore, Kong had to retreat and resign due to illness. ”

Liu Xian listened, and his mind kept reading some experiences about Kong Rong that he had seen in later generations. I was relieved in my heart, because the person Kong Rong offended this time was He Jin, the general of the current Han Dynasty.

However, Liu Xian pretended to be abrupt and said: "I see." ”

Kong returned to the Confucius Mansion in Beihai and desperately promoted his fame, the purpose of which was to let the people in the court who wanted to put Kong to death know that Kong had a good reputation among the people, and if there was no real tenable charge, they generally did not dare to move Kong and the Kong family easily. This is also the real reason why the Confucian Mansion was so crowded during this period. Kong Rong explained again.

"The son-in-law understands. Kong Jia...... It is true that some trees are making a big move, and the father-in-law offended the powerful people in the court, and he resigned and was not in the court. If you really want to put the Kong family to death, this is really a bit troublesome. Liu Xian answered.

"So, Son-in-law, now that we are a family, please do us a favor. You can write to Ma Guiren who has already gone to Beijing, and ask Ma Guiren to be sure to contact the remnants of the original dynasty. And ask Ma Guiren to help pay attention to it, in case someone in the court is really unfavorable to the Kong family, ask her to use her connections to resolve some crises for the Kong family. The main thing is to slander the Confucian family in front of those traitorous villains, and when they want to condemn the Confucian family, someone must say a good word or two to the Confucian family, as long as the emperor is not sure and does not really give an order, then the Confucian family will be fine. If the holy decree is given, then the Confucian family is finished. ”

Liu Xian is indeed only seventeen years old, Kong Rong is worried that Liu Xian does not understand the stakes, so he deliberately said in detail how Liu Xian needs to do it and how to help the Kong family.

Those traitors in the imperial court have no moral bottom line, for the sake of profit, they say that they will get whomever they want, and they will get more benefits from whomever they want. Whether anyone is guilty or not, it's all up to them.

Kong Rong's worries are indeed not unreasonable.

Liu Xian also understood that when he was in the Plains Palace, the main reason why Kong Rong agreed to his family affairs was because he wanted to do so.

Historically, Kong Rong and the Kong family will be fine this time. Therefore, Liu Xian can do nothing even if he doesn't do anything.

But on the surface, Liu Xian still agreed and said: "Father-in-law, please rest assured, these are all the things that the son-in-law does, and the son-in-law will write a letter when he goes back, asking you to send it to the capital and to the hands of Ma Guiren, and will implore the righteous mother, she will definitely pay attention to the situation at all times, and once someone wants to put forward something unfavorable to the Kong family in the court, she will immediately stop it and dispel the idea that those traitors want to deal with the Kong family." ”

"That's very good, then please leave it to the virtuous son-in-law."

"Father-in-law is polite." Liu Xiandao.

"Okay, so be it. In addition, I want to tell you that some of the main industries of our Confucian family, some industries, may need to be taken care of by your son-in-law. ”

"Oh? Do you need a merchant too? These are okay, my Liu Mansion caravan, I will often do business in the future, if it is the Kong family's industry, my Liu Mansion caravan will protect it together. ”

"Well, the main industry of our Confucian family is actually the production of books and books, so to speak, many books and books in various parts of the Han Dynasty are made by our Confucian family. It's a pity that now that the Han world is chaotic, it's not easy to make a living from this book. Therefore, Kong thought that in the future, when your Liu Mansion caravan was merchant, Kong would send someone to escort some books and books to follow your caravan to sell elsewhere. ”

"The Confucian family is mainly making books and books?" Liu Xian was a little surprised, a little surprised.

"Isn't it normal for the Kong family to do this? After all, the Confucian family is a scholarly family, and in the whole world, who has more books in our Confucian family? From ancient times to the present, this includes some books of the hundred schools of thought in the Spring and Autumn Period, as well as books left by many well-known or unknown people, and so on. ”

When Kong Rong said this, he said with some pride in his expression: "Virtuous son-in-law, we are a family, this secret will tell you, the Kong family has a library pavilion, which has collected many books, and the direct children who are not the head of the Kong family, as well as the direct children of the real good character, will not know where the library is, and except for the head of the family and a few people, even the direct children of the Kong family are not allowed to enter the library pavilion." If you want to read any book, you just need to report it to the head of the family, and the head of the family will take out the book. ”
