Chapter 238: Top Talent
Guan Ping left Ma Jian to live in Nanzheng for a few days, and let Ma Jian and Ma Liang get together. Speaking of horses, it's pitiful enough, Ma's five constants, white eyebrows are the best.
Three sons are in Xinye, two sons are in Hanzhong, and Ma is shooting in Fangling.
In the future, let alone raising children to prevent old age, if there is a headache and brain fever, you need to rely on the help of subordinates and colleagues.
Five days later, Guan Ping personally sent the horse away. At the same time, Guan Ping, with the position of General Yang Wu, issued an order to Fangling and Hanzhong to recruit 2,000 scholars to study in Fangling.
Take care of the people of the Di and Ba ethnic groups who can understand Chinese, or the scholars who know the Ba language and the Di language.
When the scholars of the second county heard the news, they were naturally confused. What's the point of sending someone to study? Still, there were a lot of people who signed up.
Because the pay is good.
In this era, there are many poor scholars, and they really have nowhere to go, and it is very good to be able to support themselves. Besides, there are many people who think that this is a training course for officials or something.
For example, after completing the study, you can come out and become an official?
Hanzhong Guan Yang Wu version is too learned?
All in all, Guan Ping was in Hanzhong, and the matter of recruiting 2,000 scholars as teachers in the second county of Fangling was done extremely quickly. In the blink of an eye, the matter was done.
As for Jiangxia, Shinno.
For now, forget it. Those two unlucky places are too front-line, and after the war started, a lot of work could not be spread.
Later, when Guan Ping occupied Jingzhou, he considered the issue of carrying out education in those two places.
Far away, Guan Ping's current goal is to resist Cao Cao's possible southward invasion first, as well as to occupy Bashu, and other things will be talked about later.
said that after Guan Ping was in the autumn harvest, things got better. The problem of Fangling education is only one of them. In the name of the county guard, Yan Pu issued Guan Ping Chongxin Taoism, recruiting people with Taoism, whether they are famous or famous, as long as they come to defect, they can be treated preferentially.
There are no other Taoist priests in Hanzhong, but there are a large number of Taoist priests in the Qinling Mountains, Daba Mountain, or the Bashu area.
After these Taoist priests learned that there were still princes who believed in Taoism in the world, they were all happy as if they wanted to marry a daughter-in-law, and they took their disciples to Hanzhong County.
However, after the Taiping Dao, Taoism and the imperial court had a formal conflict, and Taoism made the rulers jealous. The princes of the world have never heard of anyone who believes in Taoism and wants to be treated preferentially.
One Zhang Lu is five buckets of rice to teach himself to play, and others can't share the cake.
Suddenly, I heard the order issued by Hanzhong County, not to mention the Taoist priests in Bashu, Daba Mountain, Qinling and other places, that is, even the Central Plains, Jiangdong, in short, many Taoist priests came to Hanzhong.
However, it is said that the land of Bashu is indeed the central activity area of Taoism in this era. Mainly the Zhang family preached here, Zhang Daoling, Zhang Xiu, Wudou Mijiao, Tianshi Dao, and countless other sects.
At that time, Zhang Lu's mother was active in Chengdu, relying on the art of ghosts and gods, and she had a little tolerance, and entered and exited Liu Yan's mansion, and Zhang Lu made a fortune.
I don't know if Zhang Lu's mother has a leg with Liu Yan.
Later, Zhang Lu did not listen to the order, and Liu Zhang killed Zhang Lu's family in Chengdu, but the Zhang family was not affected.
can't be affected, the Zhang family is a very large family.
Many people don't even gather in one place, they are all over the world, and the link between them is Taoism.
There is a heavy city in the north of Chengdu, called Mianzhu. This Mianzhu was originally the seat of governance in Yizhou, and Liu Yan built many forbidden things in Mianzhu, such as Luanyu, the Son of Heaven.
Later, Mianzhu suffered a fire, which burned these contraband and affected many people. Liu Yan was worried about getting sick because of this, and then moved the administrative office to Chengdu.
The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and Mianzhu is still a heavy city. In this city, there are also people preaching. This person is also a member of the Zhang family, called Zhang Yuan.
The Zhang family is scattered, and the generations have long been chaotic. This person is of the same clan as Zhang Lu, but has a closer relationship with Zhang Xiu, the founder of the Five Doumi Sect.
Zhang Yuan's lineage is martial arts, charms, inner pills, and practices. Zhang Yuan is very good at being a man and doing things, he is only in his thirties this year, but he has thirty or forty disciples, who enter and leave the mansions of the great families and are the guests of many nobles.
But Zhang Yuan is very ambitious, he not only hopes to be a guest of honor, he hopes to spread Taoism, so that Taoism can be carried forward.
And to do that, you have to have the support of the big guys. If you are in the prosperous age, you will find the Son of Heaven. And now in troubled times, it is necessary to turn to the princes.
But Liu Zhang hated Taoism very much, because the Wudoumi Sect was against him. Although Liu Zhang did not attack other Taoist factions too much, it was impossible for Taoism to develop in Bashu.
Therefore, Zhang Yuan hopes to go out one day, out of Bashu, to the Central Plains, to Jianghuai to see, I heard that Yangzhou has many mountains, if you can find a beautiful peak, sit and preach, it is really fast.
Zhang Yuan has a Taoist temple in Mianzhu City, called the Seven Stars Temple. Daily worship of his ancestor Zhang Liang portrait, Lao Tzu portrait, there are thirty or forty disciples in the view, the older one has come out to do things, the general practice of things, the treatment of diseases.
The younger ones learn martial arts, inner pills, charms, rituals, and so on.
The Zhang family is not taboo to marry, and Zhang Yuan has a wife and two sons. At present, his two sons are learning the Tao with him.
And since the disciple began to take charge of himself, Zhang Yuan no longer appeared often, and spent all day cultivating the Tao in the Taoist temple, the so-called Bigu, divided into food and qi and taking medicine to Bigu.
Zhang Yuan's first pulse is to take medicine Bigu, and when he is Bigu, he does not eat grains, but only eats various Chinese medicines.
I can't often open the valley, and I can't stand it often.
Zhang Yuan is very interested in Chinese herbal medicine and belongs to Taoist medicine. Occasionally, he would hang a pot to help the world, but people believed in his charms, not in his medical skills.
Isn't it fragrant to see a doctor and go to a doctor?
Of course, if you find a Taoist priest, ask for the protection of ghosts and gods, or let the Taoist priest use the magic of charms to cure diseases.
Sometimes Zhang Yuan himself is quite helpless, he believes that Neidan art and martial arts can achieve the purpose of prolonging life through these two things.
I don't really believe in charms, rituals, ghosts and gods.
But it can't stop the people from believing it, and even some scholars believe it. There is no way, Zhang Yuan can only make a living from this. On this day, Zhang Yuan meditated in the ashram.
He was dressed in gossip clothes, holding a whisk and wearing a lotus crown on his head. He was very fair-skinned, handsome, with three long beards and a slender figure.
Cultivators from time to time open valleys, are very bitter, and generally do not get fat.
Overall, the fairy wind bone.
Not long after, Zhang Yuan opened his eyes. Because the time for an hour of practice has arrived, he has been cultivating for many years and has a very accurate grasp of time.
At that moment, there was a knock on the door outside the room.
"Master. There was a message from Hanzhong. It is said that Hanzhong is too guarded, Guan Yang Wu believes in Taoism, recruits Taoist priests from all walks of life to go to Nanzheng in Hanzhong, and gives him generous treatment regardless of fame and widowhood. ”
Zhang Yuan's disciple, Huang Song whispered outside.
"Is there such a thing?" Zhang Yuan's state of mind was immediately broken when he heard this, and he must know that his lifelong ambition is to carry forward Taoism.
"It's true, a lot of people are talking about it." Huang Song said.
"Pack your bags immediately, let's go to Nanzheng." Zhang Yuan couldn't wait.
Huang Song just thought about it, but Zhang Yuan said, "Wait, I'll talk about it when I come back." With that, Zhang Yuan sat up from the ground, opened the door and walked out.
"Where is the master going?" Huang Song asked. This is a Taoist priest in his twenties, and he is also extraordinary.
"Go see your uncle." Zhang Yuan said angrily.
Huang Song showed a look of understanding when he heard this, and thought to himself, the master really can't rest assured that the master is still not at ease.
Zhang Yuan's younger brother is actually Zhang Yuan's younger brother Zhang Yuan.
The two brothers followed their father together, but the path of cultivation and the subsequent situation were very different.
Zhang Yuan has his own understanding of Taoism, and only delves into the inner pill arts, martial arts, medical skills, charms, and rituals. These are useful things, either to prolong life or to support a family.
After his father's death, Zhang Yuan became independent, relying on his ability to be a man and do things, his eloquence is good, his Taoist skills are superb, and he is impressive.
What about his brother Zhang Yuan?
Specializes in the study of outer pills, that is, alchemy.
Daydreaming all day long, wanting to live forever.
Coupled with laziness and unsociability, you can mix as badly as you want. It is often necessary to rely on Zhang Yuan to help so as not to starve to death.
The refined Dan was all poisonous, he didn't dare to eat it himself, so he caught the mouse and took the Dan, the mouse naturally would not obediently obey, after catching the mouse, he starved for two days, and then put in the Dan for the mouse to eat, the mouse smelled the real fragrance, and then ate it in one bite.
So far, there are not fifty rats that have been poisoned, but thirty or forty.
Poor mouse.
All in all, it's a wonder.
Zhang Yuan was very persistent in developing Taoism. As soon as I heard that Guanping, the Taishou of Hanzhong, was a person who believed in Taoism and was willing to treat cultivators well, he naturally wanted to go to Hanzhong.
And since you have something to eat, you have to go with your brother, right?
You can't watch your brother starve to death, can you?
So Zhang Yuan went out, planning to bring his younger brother with him first, and then take his younger brother and his disciples over the mountains and mountains to Hanzhong to find the Taishou who believed in Taoism.
Zhang Yuan and Zhang Yuan's two brothers separated very early, Zhang Yuan was impressive outside, and established the Seven Stars Temple, so he lived in the temple.
and left the old house to his younger brother.
This old house is actually not bad, a two-entry house. There used to be slaves and maidservants. As a result, Zhang Yuan kept buying materials because he wanted to make alchemy, and the more he bought, the poorer he became, and the poorer he became, and later he couldn't even afford to raise slaves and maids.
simply gave the slave maid to Zhang Yuan. Later, eating became a problem, and Zhang Yuan needed help.
Zhang Yuan came to the outside of his old house, pushed open the door and walked in. Such a big house is going to be dilapidated if no one cares about it, and there are cobwebs in many places, not to mention dust or something.
Zhang Yuan really found Zhang Yuan in the Danfang, and this kid didn't expect Zhang Yuan, so he regarded the Danfang as a bedroom, spread the futon, and fell asleep.
During the day, I slept heavily, and the dark circles under my eyes were severe.
There was an iron cage on the floor nearby, and inside the cage was a mouse. Zhang Yuan took a closer look, and the rat was dying, foaming at the mouth, exhaling more and inputting less.
It must have been poisoned.
Zhang Yuan was a little angry, went to the yard to fetch a little water, and then poured it on Zhang Yuan's head. Zhang Yuan finally woke up and was puzzled: "Brother, why did you splash me with water?" ”
