Chapter 966: Apricot Grove

Zhou Yu walked out of the apricot forest and came to a hidden mountain col and instructed Zhou Shang, the captain of the guard beside him: "Quickly assemble the tiger guards, guard outside the apricot forest, and when Liu Lan appears, be sure to kill him on the spot."

"Assemble your team!"

As soon as the captain of the guard roared, a healthy horse galloped in the distance, came to a nearby place and turned over and dismounted, and said, "General! ”

Zhou Yu looked at Tanma, saw that his face was cloudy, and asked, "What's wrong!" ”

Tanma said: "A group of people and horses were found outside the apricot forest, like the Xuzhou army, and the number was about 5,000!" ”

Like a lightning strike, Zhou Yu felt bitter in his heart, if Liu Lan found out that his team sneaked into Xuzhou, he was afraid that it would be dangerous! When he was thinking about how to resolve the crisis, the captain of the guard on the side leaned over and whispered: "General, if you show up so rashly, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape the tiger's mouth." ”

If Liu Lan only had 100 people in the forest, Zhou Yu was confident that killing him would be like digging for something, but there were 5,000 people outside the village, so he couldn't act rashly.

"And!"

"And what?" Zhou Yu's heart sank, and a sense of foreboding filled his chest.

The captain of the guard frowned, and said in a low voice: "There is new news from Pengcheng, Zhang Xiaowei and his people who went to Pengcheng to pick up Sima have all been detained, and the last general is worried that the general's whereabouts have also been leaked, at this time, the general should make a decision, whether to leave or stay." ”

"Why didn't you say it sooner!" Zhou Yu's eyes suddenly became deep, although his face was still flat, but his tone made the captain of the guard not know how he was going to kill, his heart was flustered, and he hurriedly said: "The last general also heard that he was about to pass the general, and the general was going to gather the tiger guard!" ”

A ray of light flashed in Zhou Yu's eyes, and then he nodded silently, his answer made Zhou Yu accept the murderous heart, but this matter is not important, the important thing is that the two Qiao girls are still in the apricot forest. If you don't say goodbye like this, wouldn't you lose the style of a gentleman, but if you enter the apricot forest again, if there is an accident, you will be captured by Liu Lan. Zhou Yu was undecided, and he didn't know whether to leave or stay for a while.

Falling into contemplation again, the captain of the guard on the side became more anxious: "The general makes a decision quickly." It's too late. ”

~~~~~~~~~~~

Since the Han Dynasty, family studies have prevailed, but they have been trapped by family studies, and they have to pass on a scripture from generation to generation. Since the Han Dynasty, the government of inspection and examination violated the Confucian law of election in townships, and its power was vested in the local governor rather than the local people. If the chief is virtuous, he will interview public opinion and select real talents. But the chief cheated for personal gain. Regardless of local public opinion, private individuals can be elected. The second election was sent to the central government, and how to distribute it was subject to the orders of the imperial court.

And with the creation of holidays, in order to curb fraud for personal gain, the imperial court conducted another assessment of the selected people. But in this case, isn't it true that the right to vote in the imperial court is actually completely controlled by the top, which is completely contrary to the Confucian township election? Although there is a Han dynasty that wants to be an official, the first must enter the order of the Xuan before he can be supplemented, and after the supplement. before he was prosecuted. This is elected by the Educational and Administrative Internships, and by the Administrative Internships. Then the stages of election and examination, and appointment by examination, suddenly seem to be very reasonable, and they are implemented in earnest, as if there will be no major problems, but there are still problems.

In times like these. It is extremely difficult to get the opportunity to read, first of all, books are not easy to get, ancient books are written on bamboo silk, there is little paper, and there is no printing. The great contribution of printing to the spread and evolution of human culture. It should be far better than the atomic bomb, which was newly invented in modern times. This is the greatest invention of mankind in the world, although this invention began in China, but it was not until the Tang and Song dynasties that printing began.

In the Han Dynasty, books had to be copied, and a piece of bamboo slip could only write about 20 characters, and it would be expensive to copy a book. Silk is a silk fabric, and its value is more knowable. In particular, if you want to copy a book, you have to travel thousands of miles to find a teacher. Therefore, there are huge restrictions on studying and studying. But if you were born into a family of students, then all difficulties will be easily solved. Therefore, although the title was not hereditary at that time, the book could be hereditary. Although it is not a generational hairpin, it is a generational scripture. After generations of learning, you can run into the political circle from generation to generation, and it is tantamount to a feudal aristocracy. At that time, the political system did not allow society to be rich and poor, and allowed industry and commerce to become capitalist. But knowledge and books have become a kind of capital in disguise. Therefore, there is a proverb in Sulu that it is better to leave a son when it is full of gold. This is the capital value of a book, better than the capital value of a basket of gold.

Therefore, at that time, a family of scholars could easily become a family of officials, and at the same time, it was a rich and powerful family. At that time, there was a so-called family background of 2,000 stones. As long as there is an official in the family who has achieved 2,000 stones, he can be the governor of a county, and he has the right to be punished. If he has been the chief keeper of several counties, he will have traveled all over the world, and those who have been inspected by him in various places will be his protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials, and in the future, he will be politically proud, at least he will repay some personal favors to his original lord, and if anyone comes to his county to be a taishou, he will certainly also be inspected by his descendants. Therefore, if the children and grandchildren of those who have been examined are examined, it is possible that they will be easily examined.

In the Han Dynasty, it was divided into counties, and there were only a few places in each county, so they would always fall into these families, if so, each county must have a few decent families, which caused the so-called world family in the future, that is, the world family door must have the origin of the county.

It is precisely because of this reason that Confucianism such as Ma Rong and Zheng Xuan will appear, at first they just did not want to be trapped by family learning, and only learned one classic, but if they want to learn the Five Classics, they are bound to break through the restrictions of family learning, and even the restrictions of states and counties.

"I see!"

"Therefore, under today's party, the wind of student study tours will flourish, and this is the case, such as the old man's study tour week, the capital of Qin, the south of Jingyang's Guo, and the domain of secluded, and, Yan, and Henan, and won the incumbent Tongren, and the great Confucian, the proud, the salty, handy, and suffered, and then the six arts......

Liu Lan asked about recruiting Zhang Zhao, but Zheng Xuan talked about him left and right, knowing that the old birthday star liked to hit the side, and he didn't care, just listened patiently.

"The Zhang family has a way of learning, but it is far inferior to the Chen family father and son as an official, that is, it is too much worse than the Mi family brothers who have always despised it.

Because of this, the Zhang family's education has declined, and the so-called blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and if you want to change, you must change. One is out of office, Xing family; The two study tours, rich in knowledge. For this reason, Zhang Zibu will abandon Tao Xuzhou and insist on studying abroad, but he will continue to send troops today, and only Yangjing will benefit Shang'an in Sizhou. That's why he insisted on going south!

Although the Zhang family is a family in Xuzhou, it is famous for its family learning, and now the family learning is sluggish, so it naturally falls behind, which seems to be full of glory, but in fact it has been hit hard, which has strengthened Zibu's determination to move the family south.

In addition, those families in Xuzhou seem to be united, and the shady deeds they do behind their backs are extremely shameful. Although Tao Xuzhou is dizzy, he is not stupid enough to listen to the slanderous rumors of the Chen family father and son to kill Zibu in vain, of course, Tao Xuzhou is to keep the late festival, but more importantly, it is to balance the interests of the Xuzhou family.

The Zhang family was in trouble, and the so-called Zhangmen students all fell into the ground, but at the time when Deran entered Xuzhou, and Zhao Yu risked his life to intercede. If it weren't for De Ran's release and his return home, I was afraid that Zibu's life would be difficult to protect! ”

"I see. No wonder Mr. Zibu swore not to die, it turned out to be for the purpose of studying in the south, but at his age, did he also want to study like a bachelor? ”

Zheng Xuan said with a smile: "Traveling to study and traveling with a sword, it is a ranger and a student to break the family learning." Broadcom's six arts, just like Confucius traveled around the world, but how can the present world be compared with the ancient world, like me, if it is not for the family's meager assets. How can you travel the world! ”

Zheng Xuan sighed: "It's just that those poor students are suffering, if the children of the poor family can enter the family to study, how can there be any surplus money to study, as for those slightly cold scholars, in order to learn the learning of the sages, they have to sell their houses and land, and they have to make a trip!" ”

But this travels around the world, and how can it be to travel a few counties, it is not a walk of thousands of miles to do it, and this is also a rich family can be, like poor students, although the name is a study tour, but also only in the nearby states and counties, if you can worship the great sage, knowledge may be able to grow, if you can't find a famous person, in the end only end up bankrupt.

For example, in the apricot forest of the old man, if it were not for the disciples who often helped, and the students opened their own fields, half-ploughing and half-reading, I am afraid that this apricot forest has long been lonely, how can there be scenery at this time.

And like Zhang Zhao, a world-famous Confucian, go south to Yangzhou naturally does not need to be burdened by wealth, let alone be rejected by virtue, without a few years, his family is naturally prosperous, so De Ran wants to recruit Zibu, even if the old man is afraid that it will be difficult to succeed, this matter De Ran has already known the reason, when how to act, the heart must be clear, the old man will not go to Pengcheng with you!

"If it weren't for Mr. to solve the puzzle, De Ran would have known that Zibu went to Jiangdong for this reason, but it would be difficult to do!"

Liu Lan smiled bitterly, but heard Zheng Xuan say: "Why don't you think about it too much, you will come to Xinglin today, why don't you listen to a Qing discussion?" ”

Clear discussion, clear talk, misleading words, think so in my heart, but Liu Lan did not refuse Zheng Xuan's kindness, and said: "You should listen to it!" ”

"The old man won't go with you, just go alone!" Zheng Xuan looked a little tired and waved his hand.

Liu Lan immediately retreated, and after going out, Xu Chu and a few people greeted him, looked around, but Gan Qian and the others were gone, and asked, "What about her, did she send someone to follow?" ”

"Junyi and they followed, and now she is on a high platform, listening to the students' discussions!" Xu Chu looked adoring, and he couldn't wait for himself and Zhang Jaw to change identities and let him listen.

Since Elder Zheng asked me to listen to it too, it must be an eye-catching debate today, otherwise I wouldn't have deliberately reminded me of this. Immediately said: "Let's go, let's go listen too!" ”

With Xu Chu came to the high platform where Zheng Xuan lectured on weekdays, the stage was empty at this time, and I didn't know whether it was a lecture or a failure, but the crowd around was like a cloud, all kinds of people, men and women, old and young, all of them were Confucian, but in one place, they were separated from an area, where there were hundreds of 'white-eared soldiers' guarding and even monitoring Gan Qian.

The Bai'er soldiers are the elite under Liu Lan's account, under the command of Xu Chu, with Xu Wu and the Zhen family's good hands as the predecessors, plus the army's repeated military exploits and strong skills, this army is less than 1,000 people, but the combat power is recognized as the second in Xuzhou, only slightly inferior to the dragoons, and at this time with Liu Lan into the apricot forest, but only more than 100 Bai'er people.

Liu Lan waved his hand to signal the soldiers not to be polite, and then came to Gan Qian and his party alone, and whispered behind him: "Have you talked about it?" ”

"......" Gan Qian immediately recognized Liu Lan's voice, she hated him very much in her heart, ignored him, and turned a deaf ear.

Ignore me? Liu Lan smiled bitterly and said again: "Have you talked about it?" ”

Still no response

"Hey, why do you have ash on your head!"

"Where!"

"Ignore me!"

"Humph!" Gan Qian instantly understood that she had been fooled, and snorted and turned her head again.

Liu Lan was bored, looked at a few people beside him, the beautiful man was gone, but I don't know when there was another young young student, it seemed that he was fifteen or sixteen years old at most, as for the sister who was frightened before, there was no reaction except for listening to her snort coldly when she came, and the little sister next to him frequently peeked at him, although it was well hidden, but how could it hide Liu Lan's fiery eyes. With a shy face, he approached the little sister and said softly, "Girl, have you argued?" Or has there already been a debate? ”

The little lady turned her head and saw Liu Lan, who was like a big bad wolf, with a sincere face, and was about to answer, but her sister on the side reached out and pulled her sleeves, and immediately like a child who made a mistake, she didn't say a word, lowered her head and turned to the side.

Yes, Gan Qian ignored it, this sister was even more offended by us, I didn't expect that this sister was also eaten to death by her, smiled bitterly, but looked at the little fart on the side, and said with a smile: "Little pot friend, has today's Qing Discussion been opened?" ”

"No ......"

Before the little pot friend finished speaking, he found a murderous eye light projected, and after seeing the gaze of the eldest sister, Mo said that Qiao Ji was silent and didn't dare to say any more, even Liu Lan was really startled and didn't dare to ask again.

Good guy, if eyes can kill, this glance and his brother will be buried deep in the loess!

No wonder the predecessors said that they would rather offend the villain than the woman, and the ancients would not deceive me. Liu Lan sighed in his heart, but found that a middle-aged man had walked on the high platform, and with the appearance of the middle-aged, the noisy surroundings were immediately silenced, and instantly became silent.

The middle-aged man was very satisfied with the order of the 'venue', nodded with satisfaction and said aloud: "Today's topic will be kept secret for the time being, but before this discussion, I would like to invite a few students who have traveled all over the world to talk about what they have seen and heard during this trip, so as to throw bricks for today's topic!" ”

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he retreated, but Liu Lan heard the sister on the side whisper to his younger brother Qiao Ji, and said: "You have to behave well when you go up in a while, don't lose face by stage fright!" ”

I didn't expect such a little kid to be able to give a speech on stage, Liu Lan sighed twice in his heart, and heard what his sister said later, and said secretly: Listening to the tone of his speech, who would have thought that the little girl would be eighteen or nineteen years old. And looking at the little kid Qiao Ji again, he looked eager to try, and said, "Sister, don't worry, I'm ready!" (To be continued.) )
