Chapter 108: A Family of Scholars

Before leaving, Cao Cao took all his soldiers and horses with him, and his soldiers and horses were all temporarily recruited from the Eight Gates. The order given by the imperial court has been completed.

When the imperial court did not issue further orders, they could only follow Cao Cao back.

Soon after Liu Fan returned to Yangzhai, the envoys of the Son of Heaven arrived.

Liu Fan received the edict from the envoy of the Son of Heaven, and the seal ribbon and scepter.

The scepter was eight feet long, and was topped with a feather, and was made of bronze and red.

Su Wu shepherded sheep and did not give in for 19 years. Ma Riyan was deceived by Yuan Shu and died of deception. Many ministers valued the scepter more than their own lives.

The edict stated that Liu Fan was ordered to be the general of the expedition to the north, open the mansion, and hold the festival. Exercise the right to cut first and then play, and have full authority to arrange the extermination of the Yellow Turban.

In addition, the envoy of the Son of Heaven sent Liu Fan a private letter, saying that it was Liu Hong's handwritten letter.

Liu Fan opened it and saw that the letter directly called himself the emperor's brother, and it was full of praise and encouragement to himself. Seeing that Liu Fan was slightly moved.

If other people read this letter, they would definitely be dead set on Liu Hong. But Liu Fan knew Liu Hong's various vices.

He can only guarantee that Liu Hong will enjoy these last few years to repay the kindness of this monarch and minister, and he can't guarantee the rest.

His Majesty was considerate, and Liu Fan was moved. I should write a letter, and I hope that the envoy will convey it to Your Majesty. Liu Fan said gratefully.

"It is an honor to be able to deliver a message to General Zhengbei." The envoy of the Son of Heaven said with a flattered face.

Everyone in the court knows that Liu Fan, the general of Zhengbei, is a popular figure around His Majesty. The Son of Heaven is very fond of Liu Fan, who he has never met.

Liu Fan asked people to bring pen and paper, write a letter on the spot, and hand it to the envoy of the Son of Heaven.

After the envoy of the Son of Heaven left, Liu Fan began to make arrangements for the expedition to Yanzhou.

The first thing to arrange is the more than 80,000 yellow scarves. He couldn't have taken these yellow scarves with him. Food cannot be consumed.

He used some money to dismiss more than 30,000 people and let them return to their villages.

The remaining 50,000 people scattered to various parts of Yingchuan with their families to build houses in Tuntian. The population of Yingchuan was enriched, and the population of Yingchuan County was larger than before the war.

It took Liu Fan ten days to arrange these yellow scarves. After all, it is necessary to take into account the customs and customs of each county and the land resources of each county.

For the arrangement of these yellow scarves, it is still the same as last time, with the township as the organization. Avoid conflicts with local people.

When Liu Fan arrived in Yingyin, he also specially went to visit Yingyin Xun's family.

Yingchuan two families, Yingchuan Xun family, Yangzhai Guo family. Yingchuan Xun is a family of scholars, and the family is higher. The Guo family declined during the Three Kingdoms period, but the Xun family had many talents and dominated the Cao Wei political arena. Xun Yu, Xun Yu pushed Xun to the top.

In the Han Dynasty, classics were prevalent, especially in the Eastern Han Dynasty, when classics reached its peak, and those merchants were like nobles compared to Ruying, a family of great families.

Shinong Industry and Commerce. Scholars, farmers, craftsmen, merchants. The scholars had the highest status, and although the merchants were wealthy, they were looked down upon by the scholars.

The Eastern Han Dynasty classics advocated the "family law", which gradually formed the "family study". Passed down through generations.

The inspection system is to learn from the scriptures, so that the family of scholars and the combination of the scholars, from the generations of scriptures to the successive generations of ministers, and finally formed a family of scholars.

For example, Yuan Jiazhi "Meng's Yi" in Runan, and Hongnong Yang Jiazhi "Ouyang Shangshu" for generations. It can be said that in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the top families must be governed by the scriptures. If it weren't for the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, the reputation of the Yuan family in Runan would not be as good as that of the Hongnong Yang family. In essence, Hongnong Yang is more famous.

Yingchuan Xun is not as good as those two now, Xun is a little late, and Xun Shuang, one of the eight dragons of Xun, started to govern the scriptures.

Xun's Eight Dragons, Ciming is unparalleled. He has written more than 100 scriptures and is the most knowledgeable scholar.

Lu Zhi, Zheng Xuan, Cai Yong, Yang Ci, etc. are also masters of scripture in this era.

The study of scriptures is the study of exegesis of the scriptures. Jing refers to books, but not all books, but to Confucian classics.

The content of the scriptures is difficult to understand and full of controversy, but they are also the source of norms and legitimacy that include the explanation of the cosmic order, politics, moral norms, and even daily life, so the study of the scriptures has become the most important scholarly activity since the Han Dynasty.

This time when he came to Yingchuan Xun's family, Liu Fan was very disappointed and did not meet Xun Yu and Xun Yu. Even Xun Yu's brothers Xun Yan, Xun Yue, and Xun Chen didn't see it. Xun Shuang, the most famous Xun family today, did not meet, Xun Shuang lived in seclusion on the shore of the Han River because of the disaster of the party, after the disaster of the party was lifted, the court summoned Xun Shuang as an official, Xun Shuang did not stop. Still living in seclusion on the shore of the Han River.

After entering Yingchuan Xun's family, after two teas, Liu Fan left. In the eyes of outsiders, he just paid a visit out of courtesy.

Now the time has entered June, which is the period when the grains are ripe, but the harvest in the counties of Yingchuan is pitiful, especially those towns and counties that have been mutilated by the yellow turbans.

Fortunately, Liu Fan distributed food to every household of the common people, otherwise he would not have survived the autumn harvest, and I don't know how many people would have died.

On this day, Yingchuan Taishou Huang Wan led a large number of officials to Yangzhai.

This means that Liu Fan can shrink his forces and go south and north.

"The general of Zhengbei is not only a fierce general who quells the chaos, but also a capable minister who governs the world, and I sit back and enjoy his success." After Huang Wan and Liu Fan met, they took the lead in speaking.

Huang Wan passed through Mi County, Yangcheng and other counties, and he had already learned about the customs and folklore of Yingchuan.
