After dispatching the Shadow Members, Su Xiu went to the major military camps to check the progress of the soldiers' training, as well as the effect of the tuntian in the major cottages, and the effect was not satisfactory. Seeing Taishan's orderly development, Su Xiu was full of comfort that his hard work in the past few years had not been in vain.

Now that it is August, the autumn grain is about to enter the harvest season, Su Xiu rarely has a leisure, so at Cai Yong's request, he went to Cai's house to discuss the matter of Taishan Academy. Originally, Su Xiu was reluctant to meddle in the affairs of the academy, after all, he had already delegated power to Cai Yong, and it was easy to cause misunderstanding if he intervened again, but Cai Lao said that he was the shopkeeper of the house, and he didn't care if he threw an old man to him in the big academy.

In desperation, Su Xiu had to go to Cai's mansion to make amends. Speaking of from the movable type printing let him make after he rarely met with Cai Yong, Taishan was in ruins, he had a lot of affairs in his hands, and he really lacked skills, and he has always believed in the principle of employing people without suspicion.

Cai Mansion is actually not far from the county guard's mansion, through two streets to arrive, when Cai Yong was abducted to Mount Tai by him, this mansion is still he personally searched, but after basically not came, this has been a few years, if it is not for the big Cai Mansion on the lintel, he will go to the wrong door, it is too much change.

The gate of Cai's house was not closed, because this courtyard was not large, so the sound of the main hall could be faintly heard at the door, and it sounded as if there were guests here in Cai Lao. Su Xiu was a little surprised, when the housekeeper of the Cai Mansion came to inform him, he didn't mention that there were other people, presumably this person's visit was not in Cai Yong's plan, it should be just a temporary change.

After following the housekeeper into the main hall, Su Xiu insisted on a disciple salute to Cai Yong, and Cai Yong did not get up to return the salute, after all, in the Han Dynasty, the number of rites was still very valued, no matter how noble the status of a disciple was, it was natural for a teacher to receive a disciple ceremony. Besides, Cai Yong was only invited by Su Xiu to take care of the academy, and there was actually no subordinate relationship, so naturally there was no need to pay etiquette to his subordinates.

After Su Xiu sat down, he began to look at the guests in the hall. There are three people in the hall, two of whom are about 30 years old, and they are also Confucian scholars. Behind these two middle-aged men stood a young man of sixteen or seventeen years old, about one meter seven tall, with a long sword hanging from his waist.

"Pingdi, these two are old husbands and friends, Shanyang County Manxu Manwenxin and Manfang Manwenyuan, they are well-known Confucian scholars in Shanyang County and even in Yanzhou. Behind them was their nephew Manmanman, who was full of favors, and this time he was taking Berning out to study, passing through Mount Tai, and stopping by to see my old bones. ”

Then he turned his head to the three of them and said: "Wen Xin, Wen Yuan, this young man is Su Xiu Su Pingdi, the Shou of Taishan County, doesn't Bo Ning want to meet the real person, hey, it's in front of you." ”

"Old Cai, who are you talking about?" Su Xiu was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, jumping up from the futon. "You say they're all from Shanyang?"

Seeing Su Xiu so rude, Cai Yong was slightly angry, but after coming to Mount Tai for so long, he knew that the young man in front of him was different from many officials in the Han Dynasty, at least what he saw was a real parent official who worked hard to improve the lives of the people. And there are not many officials under him who are capable, and most of them are military generals, and there are almost no internal affairs, and almost everything needs to be done by him, the Taishou.

Thinking of this, Cai Yong didn't blame him too much, but just gave Su Xiu a look of disgust. Su Xiu knew that he was rude, so he hurriedly straightened his clothes, hugged his fists and apologized: "The kid is rude." It's all because of your fame, and the boy met here unexpectedly, and he was too surprised. ”

Man Xu Manfang was also taken aback by Su Xiu's movements, they may have a little reputation in Yanzhou, but it is an exaggeration to say that they are famous. But seeing the appearance of the young county guard did not seem to be a fake, but he had heard the reputation of the two of them before, so he was not overly suspicious.

In fact, Su Xiu didn't know about Man Xu and Manfang at all, but he knew this young man too well, he was full of favors and Boning, and he was one of the typical representatives of Yunwen and Yunwu in the history of the Three Kingdoms. Since being conquered by Cao Cao, he has repeatedly offered suggestions to clear many obstacles for Cao Cao, and performed well in the Battle of Red Cliffs. Later, when he assisted Cao Ren in defending Fancheng, he urged him to retreat, and finally waited for Xu Huang's reinforcements. Later, after Cao Pi Cao Rong ascended the throne, Manzhong repeatedly defeated Sun Quan's army and was named a former general.

After Cao Cao welcomed the Son of Heaven to Xuchang, Man Chong once served as the county magistrate of Xuxian County, and because of his uprightness, he was appreciated by Cao Cao many times, saying that he strictly enforced the law.

Su Xiu really didn't expect to be able to meet Man Chong here, as far as he knew, Man Chong served as the local superintendent at the age of eighteen, and now he looks at his age, but if he has taken office, Man Chong should not have much time to come out to study, so Su Xiu is so excited because a talent in the opposition has been met by him again, and such opportunities are not available every day.

He didn't know how Su Xiu lived in Cai's mansion at all, and all he was thinking about was how to persuade Man Pet to come to Mount Tai. Cai Yong saw Su Xiu's performance in his eyes, and knew that it was impossible to talk to him about business today, so he had to stop there, and he beckoned the two Manchu brothers and asked Su Xiu to take Man Zhong to Fenggao City for a walk.

Su Xiu couldn't ask for it, he didn't have anything in his head now, full of ideas about how to fool Man Pet into working for him. Out of Cai's Mansion, Su Xiu took Man Pet to observe around Fenggao City, especially the things that the Zhao Xian Pavilion, the Skillful Craftsman Workshop and Taishan Academy and other big Han people did not have, Su Xiu introduced Man Pet to a detailed one, and almost did not say the names of the people inside one by one.

In fact, the reason why Man Pet is willing to come to Mount Tai, a place where birds don't before, is mainly because the performance of the Taishan Army in the Yellow Turban Rebellion conquered many people, and at the same time, it also made Mount Tai, a former barren land, break into the sight of many people.

Full Pet wants to see what kind of person this legendary young county guard is, who can resolve the trouble of Taishan bandits, who are all headaches in Qingyan and Xu Sanzhou, in just a few years, and also create a strong army in the world.

Young people are always curious about the unknown. With Su Xiu's explanation, Man Chong was even more impressed by the county guard next to him, not to mention the rest, just these pioneering policies and measures made Man Chong worthy of this trip.

"Berning, what do you think Tarzan is lacking right now?" Su Xiu and Man Pet went shopping for most of the day, and found an inn to settle down at random, and at the dinner table, Su Xiu began to ask Man Pet's opinion.

"Master Su has lifted me, I am just a teenager, what can I think of. This Mount Tai is already rich and strong under the rule of adults, and the pet is very surprised, and the adults are talented through heaven and earth, how dare I comment on it? ”

"Berning, don't be arrogant, I know that you have thousands of ravines hidden in your chest, and you are even higher than me in terms of talent. Today I sincerely seek advice, even if it is a wise man's thousand thoughts, there will be a mistake, let alone me, a mortal? I think I can't compare to a saint, I just want the people under my rule to be able to eat and wear without worry, food and clothing without worry, and I want my Han to be rich and strong, and foreign enemies dare not face me up to China, and my life is enough. ”

Hearing Su Xiu's plain and magnificent wish, a slight ripple suddenly rippled in Manzhong's heart. Although this wish does not seem to be big, but the Han world has been weak for many years, why are these not the common aspirations of people with lofty ideals in the world? But no one has achieved it for so many years, and it is really too difficult and too difficult to do.
