In the autumn and August of the first year of Yanhe, a carriage came on the galloping road.

The shape of this carriage is quite unique, which is completely different from the carriage ridden by ordinary scholars and nobles.

The canopy is oval-shaped, resembling a tortoiseshell, and the carriage is divided into two parts, and a beaded curtain hangs down, separating the passenger and the driver in two worlds.

Moreover, the carriage is much wider than that of ordinary carriages, and can even allow people to lie down.

Needless to say, this is a carryover.

The so-called chariot is the car that Sun Bin rode in Qi during the Warring States Period.

It is generally used by the elderly, women, and aristocratic men with disabilities, and others generally do not ride in chariots.

The Han nobles even preferred to ride in a small carriage that could only stand and hold it, even though the chariot was actually far superior in comfort and reliability to most other carriages.

On the left and right of the chariot, there were more than a dozen horsemen riding horses, closely guarding.

Even the chauffeur of the chariot was dressed in purple, with a jade pendant around his waist, and a virtuous crown on his head.

"Teacher, the front is the territory of Xinfeng......" The coachman said respectfully to the person behind the curtain, his tone humble and respectful.

"Oh......" An old muffled voice came from inside the carriage, and a thin, vine-like hand lifted the curtain to reveal the man sitting in it.

He's old.

He was so old that his hair was white, and his teeth were almost gone.

He was so old that he was thin and thin, as if he had run out of oil and dried up.

So much so that I had to travel by car.

But everyone who was around him looked at him with admiration and admiration.

It seems that this old man exudes endless light and heat, which can make people involuntarily approach and obey.

"Let's go!" The old man gently commanded: "Go to the Xiangting!" ”

"No!" The driver bowed and continued to drive slowly.

It can be seen that the coachman's driving skills have reached the peak, no matter whether the road is rough or flat, the carriage can always walk in the most suitable place, the flattest place.

The speed of the car is not fast or slow, just enough to keep the carriage from jolting.

Soon the carriage drove into the territory of Xinfeng.

Just entered Xinfeng, and the situation ahead is refreshing.

In the fields, you can see wooden signs standing up everywhere, and the wooden signs are written in official scripts and words.

The old man sat upright in the carriage, leaning on the soft cushions, tilting his head and looking at the words on the wooden signs (this is also one of the characteristics of the car, with windows on both sides to see the outside world).

These words are simple and easy to understand, clearly visible, even if they are dozens of steps apart, even if the old man's eyesight has greatly decreased, but he can still see clearly.

"If one person doesn't lift, the whole family will sit ......"

"If you don't raise her son, the law of the country won't tolerate ......"

One by one, the old man was frightened, and secretly said in his heart: "It's really Zhang Chiyou, his governance is like a tiger and a wolf!" ”

Such naked intimidation and threats to the people made the old man feel a little uncomfortable.

In his more than 70 years of cognition and three views, the old man has long firmly believed that only by practicing benevolent government, exercising good governance, and being convenient with the people, can he govern a good place.

For the people, they should focus on exhortation and guidance.

This should also be the duty of a scholar.

Scholars and scholars who read the books of the sages and know the way of the kings should use the righteousness of the sages and the way of the kings to educate the people.

Guide the people to goodness, and the wind is a poem with etiquette.

But soon, the little unhappiness and dissatisfaction in the old man's heart immediately disappeared.

Because he saw that in this autumn day, on what should have been a barren land, countless men, women, old and young, were busy in the fields.

Patches of land have been formed into strange strip-shaped ridges, and there are deep ditches on both sides of the ridges.

Cattle and horses were driven, and a strange three-legged farming tool was pulled through the fields.

In the farther field, cows and horses, driven by farmers, pulled a strange plough and plowed the land quickly.

In just an instant, the oxen and horses pulled the plough and walked a dozen steps.

The old man's eyes were about to pop out.

"Stop!" He said immediately.

"No!" The coachman immediately stopped the carriage smoothly.

"Get me out of the car!"

"No!" The coachman respectfully opened the car door, then bowed down and said, "Teacher, slow down......"

But the old man was a little anxious, grabbed his disciple's hand and got out of the car, not caring at all that he was already very old and his bones were already brittle.

"Teacher, don't ......be in a hurry," the coachman immediately supported his mentor, bowed his head and said, "You are seventy-eight years old this year, and you can't be like twenty years ago......

"How can I not be in a hurry?" The old man's eyes were stunned, looking at the field in front of him, and tears flowed down his face: "First master! The avenue is on the line! ”

The equipment in the distant field was like a lightning bolt, a holy light that fell from the sky, making his soul seem to have been baptized.

He is seventy and eight, about to be ancient, every day in his hometown, looking at the rolling Yellow River, and many times like Confucius, his heart is full of sorrow: "The phoenix bird does not come, the river does not come out of the picture, Luo does not come out of the book, I am already a husband!" ”

The avenue is unheard, and there is no shadow of peace.

He has worked hard for more than 70 years in his life, but he can't change the world.

Facing the old age of his life, the bitterness and sorrow in his heart are in his chest day after day.

But at this moment, at this time, he saw the light, he saw the light, he saw the new world.

The smiles and joyful expressions on the faces of the farmers in the fields also made him almost want to dance like a child.

With the support of his disciples, he approached and saw the close-up appearance of those triangular farming tools.

What a beautiful product!

What a perfect instrument!

Even more perfect and beautiful is the seed sown by this agricultural tool - wheat.

For him, he has done two things in his life.

The first is to educate disciples, promote scholarship, let more people know the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period, and let more people understand etiquette, righteousness and honesty.

The second is to spare no effort and to recommend him to everyone to grow wheat.

He even set an example by planting wheat on his own land in his hometown.

Then take the lead in eating wheat rice, even if the teeth are all gone, and he can't chew at all, he must see wheat rice on the dinner table at every meal, and the disciples are eating wheat rice, so he is willing to use chopsticks.

Otherwise, don't eat it!

It's just a pity, despite his example and his strong appeals.

However......

Except for his disciples and nephews, outsiders rarely responded to his calls and calls.

Growing wheat?

Whoever is stupid and who plantes!

But the old man was still stubborn.

Because of his teacher, Dong Zi's lifelong pursuit was nothing more than restructuring, changing, and planting wheat.

He is not virtuous enough, he is not talented, he can't afford the heavy task of restructuring, and he can't do more things.

The only thing that can be done for the teacher is to promote and call for wheat planting.

But even this thing is a great failure.

This made him very decadent and sad.

But now, today, in Xinfeng, he sees thousands of peasants, with the help of brand-new equipment and farming tools, ploughing the land and sowing wheat at an astonishing rate.

This made him uncontrollable and unspeakably excited.
