In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, he talked about Chibi and bragged about a group of little radish heads, so that a celebrity like Cui Zhouping listened to it, and he felt somewhat unrigorous.

It's also that Cui Zhouping is not the kind of stereotypical old pedant, otherwise, this matter would be over today.

"Joking, if you tell them the real battle of Chibi, they have to be willing to listen." Liu Yi welcomed Cui Zhouping into the study, looked at Cui Zhouping and smiled.

Next time I talk about the story, let's talk about the Romance of the Gods, after all, it's a long time.

Cui Zhouping scolded Liu Yi with a few words such as misleading people's children, sat down with Liu Yi, looked at Cui Zhouping and said with a smile: "You are a busy man, how can you have time to come to my humble room?" ”

"Entrusted by someone." Cui Zhouping took the teacup handed by the Deng family, looked at Liu Yi with a smile and said: "But you are very comfortable coming back this time, what's the matter, then Uncle Liu Huang captured Yizhou this time, and the land of the two states is in full swing. They all assisted him, why did they run back to Jingzhou? ”

"Homesick." Liu Yi picked up the teacup, took a sip silently and said, "And it's not good to live so freely?" ”

When Cui Zhouping heard this, he looked at Liu Yi carefully.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Liu Yi was a little uncomfortable with him.

"Yuting Hou, will be a master craftsman, General Annan, and now he is also the Taishou of Yueyang, with the power of Boyuan, it is indeed time to take a rest." Cui Zhouping smiled.

Although most of these positions are fictitious and do not have much power, if you talk about honor, Liu Yi's officials are not much worse than Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, which is not a good thing for Liu Yi as a foreign minister.

"Originally, I was worried that you didn't know how to advance or retreat, but now it seems that you are too worried." Cui Zhouping drank the tea soup, shook his head and sighed.

"My lord, it's not harmful to me." Liu Yi shook his head and smiled.

"Just because you don't have it now doesn't mean you won't have it in the future." Cui Zhouping sighed and said: "Uncle Huang, the young lord is young, after a hundred years, the young lord will inherit the throne, and it is inevitable to worry about you important ministers." ”

"The world is undecided...... Maybe it's you and I who are overthinking. Liu Yi was silent for a moment and said, this kind of thing is always difficult for people to accept.

"Then why are you coming back?" Cui Zhouping glanced at Liu Yi and said indifferently: "Don't say anything about homesickness, if you really want to, you can connect your wife and children into . All. ”

Liu Yi was silent when he heard this, when he asked Pang to determine the five elements of yin and yang and establish a manor, he originally wanted to connect his wife and children to Shuzhong, but the matter of rewarding made Liu Yi have a sense of vigilance in his heart, and he chose to come back.

"Don't talk about this, you won't come here this time just to talk about it, right?" Liu Yi shook his head, he has already returned, temporarily out of Liu Bei's inner circle, and the crisis has been lifted, in fact, there is no need to continue to talk about this matter, what's the use? Boasting about your ability to retreat from rapids?

"What? Can't you come here if you're fine? Cui Zhouping said with a smile.

"Naturally, you can, but don't you say you're entrusted by someone?" Liu Yi looked at Cui Zhouping and asked.

Belch......

"I am indeed entrusted by others, then Zhao Xu asked me to come, please raise your noble hand." Cui Zhouping said with a smile.

"Who?" Liu Yi looked at Cui Zhouping blankly, who is Zhao Xu? Why does he want me to raise my noble hand?

"Yueyang's predecessor is too guarded." Cui Zhouping looked at Liu Yi's expression, and suddenly laughed: "I know that he is a thief." ”

"Yue Yang Taishou?" Cui Zhouping mentioned it, Liu Yi remembered, there is indeed such a person, he also sent someone to urge him to take office before, but Liu Yi casually sent him away, and let Zhao Xu serve as Yueyang County Cheng, continue to deal with his own affairs, don't bother him if you have nothing to do.

"He wants to calculate against me?" His eyes narrowed slightly, he was not a stupid person, and he quickly came back to his senses, probably because Zhao Xu thought of some crooked idea, but he didn't get on it, so he caught him: "How can you speak for this person?" ”

Liu Yi looked at Cui Zhouping with some puzzlement.

"This person has some ability to govern the place, but he is quite selfish, and during his reign, he has made a lot of personal gains." Cui Zhouping said with a smile: "This time you came back, concurrently serving as Yueyang Taishou, he was somewhat unwilling, he should have done something in the account books and household registration, and wanted to give you a dismount, who knew that you came back to Yueyang and went back to the fishing village directly, he thought you saw through his strategy, so he ......"

Liu Yi didn't speak, just looked at Cui Zhouping silently, such a person is really difficult to like.

"I moved my branch to Yueyang, this person has contributed a lot, my Cui family wants to gain a foothold in Yueyang, and I have to deal with this Jingxiang gentry." Cui Zhouping said after a moment of silence.

This thing, it's a little dirty to say, but that's what happened, Cui Zhouping moved to Jingzhou to develop, Zhao Xu helped, at this time Zhao Xu was in trouble, please Cui Zhouping to help, if this favor is not returned, it is difficult for the Cui family to open up the situation in Jingzhou and gain the recognition of Jingzhou scholars, after all, the circle is so big, you Cui Zhouping and Liu Yi are good friends, no one will say anything, but if the favor is not returned, then it will break the rules.

"The Cui family moved to Jingzhou?" When Liu Yi heard this, his eyes lit up and he looked at Cui Zhoupingdao.

"It's just me." Cui Zhouping shook his head, this is equivalent to self-reliance, of course, it also shows that Cui Zhouping has a new view of the current situation in the world, and the Cui family is no longer blindly supporting Cao Cao, of course, among them, Cui Zhouping's attitude is also very critical, if he is unwilling, no one can force him.

"Okay, tell that Zhao Xu to do a good job of his county, and don't take it as an example." Liu Yi thought for a moment and nodded.

"I thought you would be selfless." Cui Zhouping looked at Liu Yi and said with a smile, if Zhuge Liang is here, I'm afraid this matter will not be so easy to solve.

"When the water is clear, there are no fish, and there is no absolute cleanness in this officialdom, black and white...... Not for officialdom. Liu Yi sighed, in this world, there is never absolute right or wrong, now the situation in Jingzhou is more complicated, and it is necessary to face the pressure of Cao Cao and Jiangdong at the same time, and the internal should also be based on appeasement, as long as it is not angry and resentful, it is not good to exert too much pressure at this time, even if he investigates it to the end, Zhao Xu can be killed, but his sins are not so bad that they are all over the house.

So what will the Zhao family's family think? If at this time, because of this incident, the Zhao family held a grudge against themselves, not to mention secretly voting for Jiangdong or Cao Cao, even if he continued to use his influence in Jingzhou to make a stumbling block for himself, then Liu Yi would not want to have a good life.

He is not Zhuge Liang, he doesn't have the ability of Zhuge Liang, and his principles and bottom line are not here, as for Zhao Xu, the evidence Liu Yi will slowly collect and keep it, which is also a handle, if Zhao Xu can be obedient in the future, these things will not appear again, but if Zhao Xu still dares to use small means with himself, then it is not a strange thing to settle accounts after the autumn.

"Thank you." Cui Zhouping nodded silently, just as Liu Yi said, people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes, since he has decided to set up his own door, many things can't be done by himself.

"Why do you have to do this, you have come just in time, and I have something to discuss with you." Liu Yi took a few thread-bound books from the bookshelf and handed them to Cui Zhouping: "I am going to open a academy here, the textbooks I have compiled for these things, but I am definitely not enough for this academy alone, I want to invite a few highly educated people to come and show all kinds of knowledge into categories, these scholars teach together, and select suitable disciples to teach, what do you think?" ”

The method of rubbing, Liu Yi has told Cui Zhouping before, recently Liu Yi has nothing to do, the hydraulic printing press has been drummed out, and the paper has also been improved, he is ready to start from himself to promote printing step by step, but since Liu Bei has been unable to make up his mind for a long time, Liu Yi can only do it himself, but his own ability is limited, and it is impossible to completely stand on the opposite side of the scholars, Liu Yi needs to find like-minded people and promote it with himself.

From another point of view, if you can get the support of some scholars, it may be more helpful for promotion, but in this way, you can't directly promote it all over the world, but start to promote it little by little, first from the students, and then little by little like the whole Yueyang, the whole Jingzhou, Bashu and then promote it to the whole world, this time span will be very long, so that people can slowly accept it, maybe decades or even hundreds of years, but it is the most secure way.

"Do you know ......" Cui Zhouping looked at a few books, and said with a complicated gaze: "If it's just an academy, I can help invite a few friends from poor families to come and teach, in this Jingzhou land, there are not many people who are willing to teach apprentices so openly." ”

Although there are also academies in this era, such as Yingchuan Academy and Lumen Academy, they are all private in nature, and they are used to maintain and consolidate personal connections.

This is also the reason why Liu Yi has established academies in Mocheng, Yueyang, Chengdu, and Hanzhong, but has not been able to really build them.

So even if it is Cui Zhouping, he can only find some old friends from poor families, but the celebrities and scholars don't even think about it, even if they are these poor scholars, they are mostly attached to the Cui family's poor families, and giving these people to Liu Yi can be regarded as Cui Zhouping's best efforts.

"It's good to have someone." Liu Yi looked at Cui Zhouping and said with a smile: "Everything is difficult at the beginning, let's take my time in the future." ”

This kind of thing is to break the current old concept, and it is not in a hurry.

"Is Brother Ping willing to go out to the mountains to help?" Liu Yi looked at Cui Zhouping and asked with a smile.

"I'm afraid not for the time being." Cui Zhouping shook his head, this time is different from the past, now he has brought all the people of his own branch out of the self-reliance portal, and then, it is time to consider the survival of the family, even if he is not ready to go out for the time being, he must recommend the clan to become a member of the clan to consolidate the position of the Cui family: "But disciple, I can help you recruit more." ”

"That's great!"
