Chapter 524: Teaching Guangwu in Jiyang City
Liu Xiu reluctantly left Geng Xiaofan's tent, but Liu Fei'er became "excited".
"This Guangwu Emperor is really not simple, at such a young age, he knows so much! Husband, aren't you curious about what Zhuang Junping's book is? You say, will Zhuang Junping also know that he will be the emperor in the future, so he went to him......"
"Fei'er!" Geng Xiaofan interrupted Liu Fei'er's chatter, "If you want to read that book, send him home in person tomorrow morning, and take a look by the way." As for Zhuang Junping, he does have some skills, although he doesn't necessarily know that Liu Xiu will be the emperor in the future, but he must have discovered something. Otherwise, it will not be easy to go to a county commander's home to visit. Some of the knowledge and kung fu of Taoism are still very mysterious, and people who have Taoism can often see some things that others can't see, such as Wangqi ......"
"I know this, and I will too!" Liu Fei'er interrupted Geng Xiaofan.
"Do you know what Wangqi is?" Geng Xiaofan glanced at Liu Fei'er curiously.
"Look at the clouds and know the weather, everyone on the grassland will do! If you don't know how to read the clouds, you will get drenched sooner or later, and it is difficult to say if you lose your life! Liu Fei'er was a little proud.
"What a hope! Well! Yes, you will be angry, and you can be regarded as a god! Fairy sister, you see it's not too early this day, shouldn't we rest in peace. Ha ha! Geng Xiaofan was amused.
However, Taoism's hope may really start from "looking at the clouds and knowing the weather".
Liu Fei'er did not give up, and still pestered Geng Xiaofan. Geng Xiaofan had no choice but to patiently tell her about people's temperament and aura, and his mouth was dry!
finally came to an end, and Geng Xiaofan found that his beautiful wife had slept sweetly in his arms.
The next morning, everyone packed their bags and prepared to go. Liu Fei'er was curious about the book Liu Xiu said and decided to send him home in person.
Geng Xiaofan had no choice but to accompany him. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the city, he met the county officials who were looking for Liu Xiu everywhere.
"Young boy, I can find you! Hurry home, my lord passed away last night! ”
"What!" Liu Xiu and Geng Xiaofan froze for a moment.
"Young Master Xiu, birth, old age, sickness and death are inevitable, let's mourn!" Geng Xiaofan looked at Liu Xiu in a daze, and didn't know how to persuade him.
Liu Xiuqiang endured his sadness, didn't let the tears fall, and solemnly saluted Geng Xiaofan, "Sir, my family has suddenly suffered misfortune, and I am afraid that I will not be able to accompany you today." ”
"Master Xiu, I'll go back with you. Although I only have a one-sided relationship with Ling Zun, I cherish each other. The old gentleman drove the crane to the west, and I should come to the door to hang myself. ”
So far, Geng Xiaofan really can't go. After a brief discussion with Fei'er, let her go back first, and take everyone to hurry slowly first, Geng Xiaofan had to help deal with Liu Xin's aftermath in Jiyang County.
Jiyang Ling Liu Xin, although he was a prince, but after nearly two hundred years, the family road has long been lost. It was not easy to survive until he was half a hundred years old to obtain the qualification for probation, and he went to this small Jiyang to be a county magistrate.
Liu Xin is loyal and upright, although he has no great talent, and he has not done many practical and good things for the people of Jiyang, but he often helps the poor and sympathizes with his subordinates. Therefore, he has been an official for many years, but in addition to word of mouth, he has not accumulated much money.
What's more, as soon as he died, only Liu Yan and Liu Xiu were left in the family.
Liu's mother is frail, Liu Xiu is young, and although Liu Yan is a few years older, he has never experienced such a "big event", and the entire county government is in a mess for a while.
Geng Xiaofan had no choice but to make a temporary "cameo" and preside over the funeral.
On the one hand, he arranged for people to quickly report the funeral to Cai Yang's "hometown", and on the other hand, he began to set up a mourning hall.
Work all day until it's dark.
"Lord Geng, thanks to you this time!" Brother Liu Yan kowtowed to Geng Xiaofan to thank him.
"Hurry up!" Geng Xiaofan helped the two brothers up, "Although Ling Zun and I met late and had little friendship, after all, we were officials in the same dynasty, and since we have caught up, this is also what we should do." ”
"I have already sent a letter to Cai Yang, presumably your uncle will come soon, and I still have to ask them to call the shots here. But after all, this is also a family matter for the two of you, you two should have a preparation, where to go in the future, and make an idea as soon as possible. Geng Xiaofan patiently advised.
The brothers were silent.
"Hey! Go eat something first, and have a wake in the evening. Geng Xiaofan sighed, he still had to go and see the report written by the county Cheng to the Taishou and the imperial court.
After finishing these, it was already the third watch, and Geng Xiaofan was full of exhaustion. went back to rest, and when passing by the mourning hall, Liu Xiu walked out.
"Sir! That's the book I'm talking about. Liu Xiu took out a book from his arms and held it to Geng Xiaofan.
Although sleepy and tired, this book still attracted Geng Xiaofan.
The binding of the "book" is simple, but the paper used is very detailed. Geng Xiaofan took a closer look, sniffed, and determined that this was not a "modern" product, and it should be produced by a handicraft workshop during this period.
But is it really Zhuang Junping? How could he make paper of higher quality than Shaofu? Could it be that Li Shaojun taught him?
With doubts, Geng Xiaofan began to look through it, and when he saw that it didn't matter, he was directly startled!
The entire book is written in simplified Chinese with some Arabic numerals and Latin symbols!
This is definitely something that Zhuang Junping can write!
Geng Xiaofan felt that the blood in his body was boiling!
"Can you understand, sir?" Liu Xiu saw Geng Xiaofan's abnormal expression and asked carefully.
"Young Master Xiu, tell me what that old fairy looks like? How old are you and what are the characteristics? Geng Xiaofan took Liu Xiu's hand, and he felt that his whole body was trembling with excitement.
"He's of medium height, crane-haired, slightly thin, kind and kind-eyed, I can't tell his age."
Liu Xiu's description does not match Li Shaojun at all, but it is somewhat similar to Zhuang Junping. It is very likely that this book was left by Li Shaojun to Zhuang Junping.
"Is that the god you know?" Liu Xiu asked cautiously.
"Perhaps!" Geng Xiaofan was sleepy at this moment, and pulled Liu Xiu to the study.
"This is a very useful book! You must put it away, don't show it casually! Geng Xiaofan was ready to give Liu Xiu a good talk, and unconsciously said the words left by the old immortal again.
"You really understand?" Liu Xiu's eyes lit up.
"This is a book of mountains and rivers of the Great Han! Not only the geographical location of each prefecture and county is recorded, but also the size of the pass, the amount of land, and the climate of the four seasons are clearly remembered......"
Geng Xiaofan said, flipped through the pages and found Chen Liu, "Look, these pages are Chen Liu, look at this picture, this is Jiyang, you see if what is recorded here is accurate." ”
"What's going on with these words?" Liu Xiu looked at it, but he couldn't understand the letters and numbers at all.
"This is, this is a long-lost Taoist mastery, these symbols are all representations of numbers, and it is very convenient to calculate with these symbols......"
In order for Liu Xiu to understand this "strange book", in the following days, Geng Xiaofan had to teach Liu Xiu "mathematics" and "geography" from scratch!
Fortunately, Liu Xiu was smart enough, and although Geng Xiaofan didn't fully understand what he taught, he quickly entered the door.
