Many of Zheng Xuan's disciples were born in the generation of Qingdao, Henan and Xuzhou, but more of them are Confucian scholars like Cui Yan who came thousands of miles away to study, and Zheng Xuan's place of marriage is also increasing because of the gradual increase in disciples, which makes him have been migrating until he arrives in front of the small mountain village in front of him, the growing small mountain village is surrounded by mountains and rivers, the scenery is beautiful, and the disciples are planting peach trees and apricot trees, the scenery is not only beautiful, the atmosphere is more peaceful, just like Tao Yuanming's paradise.

At this time, in the peach orchard, Liu Lan, who walked out of Zheng Xuan's thatched house with Cui Yan slowly, laughed and said to Cui Yan on the side: "With Ji Jue helping me, it seems like a fish in water, and you and I will definitely complement each other in the future." ”

Cui Yan smiled slightly and said: "The lord has won the award, I originally wanted to follow the teacher for a long time, but the teacher wants to make Ji Jue out of the ranks, how dare Ji Jue refuse?" "Even if the master doesn't say it, I will definitely help 'her' if I want to be a teacher. Secretly glanced at Liu Lan, no matter what, since he hoped that she would be well, he would naturally do his best to help Liu Lan.

Liu Lan found that Cui Yan was distracted when he spoke, and after coughing a few times, he retracted his mind and asked, "What was Ji Yan thinking just now?" ”

Cui Yan's face turned pale, as if the thoughts in his heart had been discovered by him, and he waved his hands again and again, and said, "No, it's nothing, it's just cranky." ”

While the two were talking, they walked towards the entrance of the village, and suddenly saw Cui Yan turning to the side, Liu Lan asked in surprise: "Where is Ji Qi going?" ”

"I'll go pack up and go back to Xiaopei with my lord."

Liu Lan immediately called out to him and said, "Ji Jue, I'll send someone to help you clean up in a while." I still have to consult with you. ”

"Something important?" Cui Yan's spirit was shocked, and he didn't dare to slack off: "What is the important thing for the lord?" ”

Liu Lan said solemnly: "I talked to Mr. Zheng before. When it comes to the distribution of Pei County's opening and cooking, let's not talk about the former. Now the most troublesome thing for me is how to distribute these familiar land, if it is directly sold at a price, I am afraid that the poor peasants will not be able to buy it, if it is Tuntian, but I have no clue about this matter, so I want to discuss the matter of Tuntian with Ji Jue, I don't know if Ji Jue has a good plan? As he spoke, he looked at Cui Yan expectantly. Although the situation in Peixian County is quite similar to that of Liaodong, after all, one of the two places has a small population. One is that the population is small after experiencing war or death or migration, but there is one point is the ownership of the land, Liaodong is facing the need to open up the Qianmo, this can be simply dealt with, distributed according to the person, because few people can be divided into the anointed land, there is no interest in it, and how can the land of Peixian be comparable to Liaodong, which makes some ownerless anointed land distribution after the war become fat in everyone's eyes. If you change it, you want to get the land instead of going to open the land, and after a few years, the land will become mature and the field will not be, so as long as the things in this world involve interests, it is too difficult to do, so this is why Liu Lan is so desperate to find internal affairs talents. And such as Jian Yong, although he has been presiding over the internal affairs of Liaodong and Huangxian with Tian Chou and Yan Rou for so many years, the three of them are more of strategists. And Jian Yong is even more vertical, that is a real expert who relies on his mouth to fool people. And the only one who can really think of a way for him is a scribe like Cui Yan, who only listens to him say: "Since the collapse of the well field. Countless ancestors have not been able to recover in their lifetimes, if there can be a saint in the world who came out of the world, and can restore Jingtian, the lord will no longer have to rack his brains for this. ”

No way. Liu Lan scolded in his heart, this is the first time I have heard that I am going to restore the well field today? Thinking about this, there was a trace of doubt in my heart: "Is the Ida system really so good?" Can it really solve the problem of arable land for the common people? Since he has a subversive understanding of Confucianism, he has a trace of thinking that he is biased towards Jingtian, at this moment, only to hear Cui Yan sigh and say: "Now Pei County has more land and less people, the lord is troubled by this, but this is also my Han Dynasty a hundred years of rare happiness troubles, but for the long-term plan, whether it is to divide the land with the people or sell the land with the people is not a long-term plan, according to my opinion, the lord should carry out the system of Tuntian, but the matter of Tuntian is under but inevitably lonely and unheard of this Tao is not proficient, but I know that there is a sage in Xuzhou." , is the grandson of Chen Taiqiu, Chen Qun Chen Changwen, the son of Chen Zi, if you can invite this person to Pei, you will be able to solve the urgency of Tuntian. ”

Liu Lan woke up like a dream, slapped his forehead and said, "How did I forget him." ”

"Does the Lord know this man?" Cui Yan looked at Liu Lan inquiringly.

"I don't know each other, but this person's name is like thunder."

"If the lord is interested, Ji Jue should go to Xuzhou to bring this person to Xiaopei."

"Really?" Liu Lan was overjoyed in his heart, looked at Cui Yan and then shook his head slightly, and said: "The last time I met this person on the road under the account, I invited him to come to Xiaopei, but unfortunately he was refused, I'm afraid it will ......."

"The lord can rest assured that he will come to Xiaopei and discuss major matters with the lord." Cui Yan said with a confident look.

"Could it be that Ji Jue has an old relationship with this person?"

"It's not a secret, Ji Jue and Changwen are old friends, and I expect him to come to help each other."

"Great, great." Liu Lan smiled, he didn't expect to kill two birds with one stone when he came today, not only kidnapped Cui Yan, but also bought one and got one free, and even took Chen Qun into the account.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The group left the place where Zheng Xuan knotted and walked forward along the stream, enjoying the beautiful mountain scenery all the way, only to hear Liu Lan suddenly ask: "Ji Qi, what do you think the people want most?" He looked at Zhang Fei and said, "Yide, you can also talk about it." ”

"This ......" Cui Yan looked at him in surprise, but he didn't know how to answer for a while. In the eyes of a clan like them, as long as they can be fed, it would be fine, but what about the common people? And what do they have to think of? At most, it's just a meat, right?

As for Zhang Fei, his thoughts are similar to Cui Yan's, but he has followed Liu Lan for a long time and knows what the lord is concerned about, so he said with a little weakness: "How many acres of thin fields are there to live in peace?" ”

"Yide is right." Liu Lan sneered and said: "Actually, they are easy to satisfy, it is nothing more than a hot kang head for wives and children." "Speaking of which. But he shook his head imperceptibly, Grandpa Mao said: There is no right to speak without investigation. Maybe he should go to a private interview before he can come to a conclusion, after all, he is now a complete layman in matters such as people's livelihood. And with the qualifications of the trainees to command, not to mention that the result is twice the result with half the effort, even if the work is not effective, it may be good.

"Let's go and visit." Liu Lan, who thought about this, immediately said to everyone.

"Visiting?" Cui Yan didn't know why.

"Yes, if you want to know what the people want most, you can only ask them in person, you and I are here to measure, I am afraid that we are working behind closed doors, not only can we not understand the suffering of the people. On the contrary, it will make the people miserable. ”

Cui Yan's eyes suddenly ejaculated, and he arched his hand and said: "It turns out that the lord wants to imitate the sages and sages in order to understand the people's feelings. ”

"Imitate the sages?"

Liu Lan was speechless for a moment, how could he be hooked with the sage even if he was a visitor? I didn't learn Kangxi Weifu to go on patrol, but Kangxi is also the king of sages in the future, and he is not a sage before the Three Kingdoms......"

"Mencius once said: 'If you are clear enough to see the details, but you don't see the salary, then the king will let it go?' The lord is sympathetic to the people, and Ji Jue worships him. He bowed to the end.

Liu Lan's eyes were like copper bells, and while he helped Cui Yan up, he sighed in his heart: These Confucian students, they should be said so......"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The group came to the mountain village where Gan Qian was. Mulberry trees are planted in front of the village, but there are wheat fields with a wide range of left and right behind the village. Seeing the people working hard, Liu Lan didn't want to come forward to disturb him, until the sun was up. The scorching sun shone his sweat like a fireball, and peeked at the two of them. Zhang Fei seemed indifferent on the surface, but his face couldn't see anywhere. As for Cui Yan, he has long been crumbling under the scorching sun.

Looking at the farmer in front of him, Liu Lan sighed and shouted, "That old brother, let's rest and rest in fertilization first." ”

When the man heard the shouting, he looked back and smiled, "I'm really thirsty." As he spoke, he walked up to the strangers as he walked cautiously so as not to step on the crops, and said, "You look at the noodles, aren't you locals?" ”

"No, we're just passers-by."

The farmer's face changed suddenly, and he remembered the assassin who was rumored today, and secretly said that he wouldn't let himself meet him, right? Suddenly, as if he had discovered something, he smiled and said, "Mr. Cui, why are you here?" ”

"This is ......" Cui Yan was about to explain that he was accompanying Liu Lan to come, but he didn't want to be stopped by him, so he just heard him laugh and said: "We were passing by, and we happened to see my brother farming in the field." ”

"It turned out to be passing by." The farmer muttered to himself, but he walked over and put the bucket of swill in his hand at his feet.

Liu Lan and the others suddenly smelled a pungent stench, looked around, only to find that it was the farmer's fertilization bucket coming out, if it was a little stinky it would have been, but when his eyes fell on the swill bucket, he immediately swallowed dryly, fortunately he endured the tumbling in his abdomen, so he didn't vomit on the spot, but just this also made him gasp for breath, and frequently reached out to move up and down on his chest. to relieve tumbling in the abdomen. Cui Yan on the side didn't have the concentration of Liu Lan anymore, and he was just about to say hello to him and retire, but before he finished speaking, he covered his lips and hurriedly ran to a place where no one was.

"This scholar is too squeamish." Zhang Fei whispered as if he had nothing to do.

Cui Yan ran away, the farmer man reacted, and lifted the swill bucket to the side with a slightly embarrassed expression, until he could no longer smell the stench, Liu Lan's tumbling internal organs finally returned to their places, at this time, I saw the peasant man coming over, although she had a strong smell, but she couldn't see the things in the swill bucket, Liu Lan didn't care at all, and smiled: "How is it?" Must be tired, right? As he spoke, he raised his eyes and looked at Mai Didao behind him.

"It's only three acres of land, if you are tired, you will come to three acres, and you will not be tired." While speaking, he smiled heartily.

"Then it's okay to rent another three acres of land to my brother?"

"Are you here to find ......?"

While speaking, his eyes were shining, and he hurriedly said: "Look at my body, I have a lot of strength, don't say three acres, and then ten acres, it's no problem." ”

"Okay, in a few days, I'll rent you ten acres of land."

"Seriously." The farmer was overjoyed.

"Seriously." Liu Lan smiled, suddenly thought of something, and said, "However, it is a wasteland. ”

"What? Is it a wasteland? The peasant man's happy expression immediately made a dejected expression and said, "You are here to tease me."

Of course, Liu Lan understands why he reacted so excitedly, if you want to rent familiar land, everyone is willing to do it, but if it is wasteland, isn't it equivalent to opening up the wasteland for you, and in the end it will be thrown over to the family, and the surplus is minimal, who will agree? He smiled: "That's the case, if this land is cultivated by you, you can be allowed to buy it for yourself after five to ten years, are you willing to open it?" ”

The farmer immediately came to his senses: "Really? ”

"Of course it's true." Who cares what will happen in five to ten years' time, first of all, whether it is worth it now, of course, if you can find a field for tenant farmers to rent and plant, it is not too late to go to the wasteland. said: "Yes, yes, of course I do." As he spoke, he asked, "This laughing brother, you won't lie to me, how can there be such a person in the world?" Could it be a barren land? "If it is a barren land, although the first few years are equal to nothing, but it can survive the last few years, if you can really buy it with money, it will be a big profit, the old farmer's heart is big, but it will not really be taken seriously, after all, such a good thing is impossible, it is estimated that this young man makes her happy, if he didn't follow Cui Yan, it is estimated that the old farmer has turned his face.

"I won't fool you."

Liu Lan's face turned pale, and he said very seriously, "Brother, like you, in addition to hoping for more fields, what else do you want?" ”

"What more could you hope for than more fields?"

The farmer shook his head and smiled: "There is nothing else, as long as you can give me a few more acres of land, there is no other request." ”

"It's as simple as that?" Liu Lan looked at the crop in disbelief.

The farmer smiled honestly and said, "How can this be simple, in my situation, I don't know what year and month it will take to buy more land, and I only hope that my mother-in-law can spin a few more pieces of cloth." ”

"How many more pieces of cloth to spin?"

Liu Lan muttered in his mouth, suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly asked: "If the government organizes your mother-in-law to weave, will you let her go?" ”

The farmer was shocked in his heart, his body was shaking, and he was really panicked: "Is the government going to increase forced labor again?" Or is it a girl? ”

"No, no." Liu Lan saw his panicked expression, thinking that he was also tortured by the government's forced labor system, and said with a smile: "It was hired by the government." ”

The farmer said without thinking: "Since it is not a conscription, of course I won't let her go." As he spoke, he scratched his head, and said with a smile: "I plough the land, and she weaves very well at home." (To be continued.) )
