9 Money & Food (M)

"There is a lot of hesitation in Cheng Ze's words, which is very strange." Seeing Liu Feng running away like a rabbit, Tian Feng couldn't help but be a little puzzled.

A penny is difficult to defeat a hero, Tian Feng, who is a consul in the state and supervises the consul of money and grain in various counties, has lost more than half of his hair in the past few days, and he is not reluctant to support it. What particularly worries him is that in the blink of an eye it is September, and the county governments have not been able to recover much grain and cloth, and the treasury is seriously insufficient.

As the second seat of the clerk of the state, Zhong Xuan was naturally very clear about the predicament, took out a piece of silk paper from the side, handed it to Tian Feng, and said worriedly: "Gongsun Boqi sent his younger brother Gongsun Yue to lead three thousand Youyan elites and go south to help Sun Jian crusade against Zhou Ang, and the outcome is still unknown." ”

Although Tian Feng always gives people an aggressive feeling, Zhong Xuan is not a careful person, and he admires Tian Feng's intelligence and insight, and admits that he is not as good as Tian Feng, and he has always respected Tian Feng, and the two get along, he has always been optimistic, and he can't help but be infected by Tian Feng, speaking and doing things in an orderly manner, and a little depressed.

Tian Feng frowned slightly, this is not good news, took the silk paper and glanced at it slightly, and said with an angry face: "Gongsun Zhan should be damned!" Although Zhou Ang is a mortal, Yuan Shao will never sit idly by and watch Yuzhou fail, but the two families have been at odds since then, so how can he deal with it? Even if Yuan Shu seized Yuzhou, what good would it do to him!" After a while, he said slowly: "You and I will go to see the lord, no matter what, we should be careful, at least within half a year, Liu Yu cannot be defeated!"

Yuan Shu successfully won over Gongsun Zan to work for him, which was equivalent to hanging a sharp blade on Yuan Shao's head, which was a good move. It is by no means good news for Liu Bei, especially what makes Tian Feng and others angry is that Gongsun Zan himself is still arguing with Liu Yu on the other side of Youzhou, and Yuan Shao, a strong rival in Pingkong, is really stupid to send troops across Yizhou to help Yuan Shu at this juncture. Once Yuan Shao and Gongsun Chan go to war, with the relationship between Liu Bei and Gongsun Zhan, the state will inevitably be affected, and with the current situation of the state, the ability to undertake a war does not exist at all.

Fortunately, Yuan Shao also took Jizhou as a new leader, but his reputation is far greater than Liu Bei's, and he does not need to make drastic personnel adjustments like Liu Bei to consolidate the rear. However, there should be no actual action against the state in the short term.

"Liu Yu is erected, I am afraid that before the messenger of the Lord has arrived, he will already hang his head on the head of Gongsun Zhancheng. At that time, even if Yuan Shao didn't want to send troops, he couldn't send troops. ”

One is juxtaposed and the other is pressed on the top, and Yuan Shao can sleep, which is really strange.

Tian Feng's eyes flashed with a look of determination: "No matter what, we should strongly persuade the lord not to send troops, and within a few years, it is only advisable to wait for the time." ”

Zhong Miao stood up with a wry smile and went to find Liu Bei with Tian Feng.

Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan have both been kind to Liu Bei, but now these two families have reached the point where they are incompatible, and it is by no means that Liu Bei can send them away with a letter. Zhong Xuan didn't hold out much hope, but Tian Feng had always been stubborn, and once he decided on something, he would bite it, and the lord Liu Bei had always been obedient to him, maybe he had a way.

The scale of Zhengxin Academy is not large, covering an area of more than 100 acres, except for more than 100 hastily built school buildings and the library that stores Liu Feng's private collection of books from Luoyang, the other places are still desolate, and there are several houses that are still being built in turn, which seems very incongruous, and it is not at all compatible with her possession of thousands of secret books and royal books. At first glance, there is a feeling of being deceived.

However, according to Liu Feng, this is only the "early stage", and the academy will continue to expand with the gradual increase in students and famous teachers. 3 At the gate of the academy, a huge stone tablet written by Cai Yong was erected high, an inscription of just 81 words, but it gave people a strong self-confidence: "The mountain is not high, there are immortals, and the water is not deep ............"

Everyone who passes through Zhengxin Academy, regardless of whether he is qualified to enter it or not, will remember this "Burrow Inscription" deeply and be greatly encouraged. However, when people asked around who the author of this strange article was, no one could answer, only knowing that this was by no means Cai Shanchang's work. When people were surprised that who made such a magnificent essay and could be stood at the gate of Zhengxin Academy in front of Cai Yong, Cai Yong kept silent, only a piece of admiration for the author was overflowing, and he claimed that even if he wrote his own article, it was far from the same.

Regardless of asking, it can be known that this strange article is naturally Liu Feng's "work", but the sentence "Nanyang Zhuge Lu" was replaced by "Fuchun Yan Lingse", which brought out Yan Guang, a high-sage hermit who refused to be an official and cultivated in Fuchun Mountain during the Guangwu Emperor period, although it was far less appealing than Zhuge Liang. As for the reluctance to write his name, Cai Yong was only "impressed", admitting that he was inferior, and was willing to ghostwrite for him. It's not that Liu Feng is embarrassed, but it's just to add a little more mystery to Zhengxin Academy.

In the blink of an eye, it has been more than a month since the opening of Zhengxin Academy, but there are only more than 200 students recorded, which is still the reason why Liu Feng implored Cai Yong to be extrajudicial and gracious, otherwise according to Cai Yong's meaning, it would be good to leave one-tenth of it. There is only Cai Yong as the lecturer, and Cai Yong has sent a lot of invitations in the name of the mountain chief, but even Lu Zhi, who is the closest to this, is now living in seclusion in his hometown Zhuo County, even if he has the heart to exert his residual heat, he will not be able to arrive for a while.

As for his teaching, he chooses an open space on a sunny day, and the students sit around on all sides, and Cai Yong talks for several hours in the center. As for other times, they are laissez-faire, each holding a bamboo plaque to borrow books from the library, to understand it themselves, and to consult Cai Yong if they don't understand. Cai Yong is an encyclopedic genius in the world, he was also valued by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty in his early years, and was allowed to enter the inner to borrow the royal collection. Of course, this is limited to ancient scriptures, and he still can't do it if Cai Yong solves arithmetic and deduces physics.

Today is not the day of Cai Yong's lecture, Liu Feng rode a horse and passed the door number and entered smoothly. He was dressed in a plain robe, very brief, and no one paid attention to who he was, and everyone looked at their books, and occasionally talked softly, but there was no noise. Liu Feng didn't talk to anyone, so he borrowed a book and came out, and randomly picked a place to sit down and read. He had read the roster of students in the academy, but it was a pity that he couldn't pick out any names that he had an impression of, and they were all locals from Bingzhou, and people from other places came here to see him, and he couldn't catch up for a while, and Liu Feng was not in a hurry about this.

I didn't turn a few pages before I felt someone watching me. Liu Feng looked up, and couldn't help but be stunned, there were two people sitting not far from him, it was Wei Xing and Cai Yan, who was incarnated as a man. Wei Xing just nodded politely, but with a look of caution in his eyes, Cai Yan was holding a book in his hand, and he actually got up and walked towards him.

Liu Feng didn't want to be known by the people around him that he was Liu Feng, the Marquis of Zhu Xu, who had been in a uproar recently, so he hurriedly greeted him, bowed down and said, "Fa Zheng has seen Brother Shi!"

Cai Yan came in disguised as a man, and Liu Feng didn't know what name she used, so he didn't call her directly, so he borrowed Fazheng's name in a hurry. Cai Yan was stunned at first, then understood, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he replied: "Cai Yan has seen Brother Law!"

The two looked at each other knowingly, and were about to speak, only to hear a "boom", Wei walked too quickly, and actually knocked over a person who was reading a book while walking with his head down. Seeing that the man was unsteady and fell backwards, and his arm was thrown towards Cai Yan, Liu Feng rushed forward and held the person up. Wei Xing was already a weak body, and under this collision, the soles of his feet floated, and he fell straight down with a "plop". Cai Yan didn't expect this startled change, and saw an arm screaming and smashing down on him, and a coquettish cry suddenly frightened his face, but fortunately, Liu Feng's hand was fast, and it was unhindered.

All the students who were reading the book looked at it together, Cai Yan's coquettish voice was extremely crisp, and his skin was like clotted fat, and his face was as moist as jade, and all the students were stunned. Liu Feng smiled bitterly and helped up this unlucky guy who was knocked out, this person was as thin as a thin bamboo pole, no wonder Wei Xing knocked him over.

When the man saw that the book he was reading hit the ground, he cried out in heartache, hurriedly picked it up, pulled up the placket and wiped the soil off it one by one, revealing the patched undershirt but still unaware, seeing that a few pages were torn, his heart ached for a while, and he forgot to thank Liu Feng.

Liu Feng looked at him and had a good impression, and he didn't blame him, he smiled slightly, his eyes fell on a piece of dough on the ground, it should have fallen from this thin scholar, Zhengxin Academy provides room and board, and the dough is today's meal. Wei Xing trembled all over, and with the help of others, he got up tremblingly, Cai Yan exclaimed that his daughter's body was exposed, his face was red, and he didn't want to come over to help. Wei Xing came to his senses, bowed to the unlucky ghost who was bumped into by himself, and said, "Brother Tai is fine, Wei Xing is rude, please don't blame Brother Tai!"

The man came to his senses at this time, and saw that Wei Xing was dressed in a beautiful body, with a graceful demeanor, and was extremely free and confident, and he actually had a little fear, and his black and thin face instantly turned red and embarrassed, and he hurriedly returned the salute to Wei Xing: "How dare you, you are walking carelessly, causing Wei Gongzi to fall, and you should confess to Wei Gongzi." As he spoke, he bowed down again, and his attitude was extremely respectful.
