Chapter 259: The Passing Year (I)

Walking out the door, the sun is brilliant and mild.

In the late spring and early summer season, the eyes were full of greenery, the cool breeze was gusting, and the milky reading sound of a group of children led by Fang Xue and Li Lang on the private school side came faintly, which sounded particularly leisurely and comfortable.

Let Ke Hai Zhao Qian and others go out to write letters to Zhang Mancheng, Jian Yong, Xun Shuang, Shiren and other people representing Qingzhou, Jingzhou, Yuzhou, and Luoyang, Liu Zheng and Huang Zhong, Xun Di, and Xiahou Sheng who were about to go out to gather people to set off from various places chatted a few words, and after separation, they asked Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to prepare their bags, and when Xun Yu and Xun Yu walked towards the backyard, Xun Shu rode a wooden bicycle and went back to the courtyard to study privately in the eyes of everyone crying and laughing.

The bike was made a few months ago, but there were no brakes, and there were two small wheels on either side of the rear wheel to help stabilize the balance, and if you really talked about it, except for the size, it looked like a toy bicycle for children to play with in later generations - and of course it was only for play.

Brake pads Liu Zheng can also do, but the wooden bicycle itself is not very reliable, now to build ironware, Liu Zheng did not waste steel in these relatively inconsequential aspects, plus this year is still based on horseback riding, the bicycle at most let everyone draw a fresh, naturally there is no need to spend effort.

Largely out of boredom, Liu Zheng actually tinkered with a lot of these things during this time.

However, like bicycles, most of them are semi-finished products, and some are occasionally used as teaching equipment.

Of course, doing these things is also Liu Zheng's desire to create an atmosphere about scientific and technological inventions, stimulate the interests and hobbies of these young people, and train some people to change the existing poor conditions in the future.

After all, technologies such as papermaking, iron smelting, and crossbows have now fallen into a certain bottleneck.

Although some of those craftsmen are skilled, many of their ideas still can't break through the original limitations, plus there are always people who can't stand the boring days, and some centrifugation, so as not to leak their skills, Liu Zheng also wants to be able to train a few henchmen to supervise these things.

Speaking of which, Kong Ming lanterns and magnetic power generation, as well as research and development work such as improving papermaking and looms, in fact, Xun Cai and Geng Qiuyi are also doing it, but the two are pregnant one after another, and they are already a little inconvenient to move after more than six months of pregnancy.

Even if he had no scruples in the dream, Liu Zheng was still a little distressed, so he let the two girls read and write in it, and focused on Li Lang and others in this regard.

When I was doing this, I also thought of a few inventors of this era, and Liu Zheng also asked people to inquire about Ma Jun. However, Liu Zheng only remembers such a person, he doesn't even know when Ma Jun was born, plus these years are in chaos, the people are not living, and the people are very mobile, trying to find Ma Jun is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

Naturally, regarding the capable people in this area, Liu Zheng not only thought of Ma Jun, but also asked Jian Yong to send people to secretly observe Huang Chengyan.

Later generations spread that Huang Yueying and Zhuge Liang were good at the art of organs, but he sent someone to inquire about the Zhuge family, and no one was good at this aspect at all, but Huang Jun and Huang Chengyan, as a famous man in Nanyang, cultivated Nanyang, and had some involvement in some organs related to people's livelihood.

But this dabbling is not as extensive as Liu Zheng, Liu Zheng is also quite disappointed, thinking that it is better to find someone else than to cultivate himself, in addition to cultivating the interests and hobbies of the younger generations in the village, he also opened some related courses in the private school of the farm.

However, regarding Huang Jun, Liu Zheng is a little puzzled.

When Huang Jun was not confused, the main room was dead, and the Xuxian Cai family was also in his thirties, and he heard that the children under his knees had died in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and he had not seen a daughter born.

And this year, Zhuge Liang is seven years old, Pang Tong is also nine years old, where is Huang Yueying?

Thinking of the sentence that was widely circulated in later generations, "Wen Jun chooses a woman, has an ugly woman, yellow head and black head, and is worthy of it." Liu Zheng occasionally calculated the meaning of this sentence, and came up with a certain creepy and strange result, but he also felt that he was thinking too much, and then asked Jian Yong to try to befriend Pang Degong and others, and waited for that strange result to be finally revealed.

At this time, looking at Xun Shu far away, Xun You reminded him, remembering the new bicycle system before, this kid tried to ride a bicycle down the mountain to show off, because there were no brake pads and fell halfway, suffered a lot of injuries, shook his head and smiled helplessly: "You are harming others and yourself." My family is clamoring for this, and they are more excited than learning to ride a horse, but they haven't heard my ears out of the cocoon in the past two days. Can't you just get something safe? He also said that he would make a balloon that could fly, and that he wanted people to go to the sky, why didn't you go up yourself? ”

Liu Zheng rolled his eyes, "What you said is too polite, do you have to put on the posture of an uncle?" ”

"It's useless to put it out."

Xun Yu interjected with a smile: "What has my junior of the Xun family made you a scourge. These are all not good at learning. My Yun'er is only six years old, so he doesn't kiss me, but kisses you. If you are injured one day, you can wait for me to let Uncle Tzu Ming break your legs. ”

"Uncle Wen Ruo is right. This kind of person should not be good to him. ”

Xun You teased, "Uncle Weng came over to send him the holy decree, and he even made a friendship with him." Gongsun Boqi is also his classmate, and Zidu still comes and goes from time to time. It's good for him to be quiet, and he has long thought about inviting them into the game. ”

Xun Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head when he heard this, "This matter is not kind after all, if the pillars of Uncle Weng's principality have a mistake...... Alas, don't talk about him, just Zidu, I'm afraid I'm going to fall into a dilemma. ”

The angels who came over this time were led by Ma Riyan, the grandson of the Ma Rong clan and the captain of the shooting school.

Uncle Weng, the word Ma Riyan, Lu Zhi studied Ma Rong in the past, and later supplemented the "Dongguan Hanji" and corrected the "Taixue Stone Scripture", all of which intersected with Ma Riyan, and the two can be said to have a deep friendship.

Ma Riyan is outstanding in learning, and his character is also extremely virtuous, Xun Shuang also had dealings with the other party when he was an official, plus Xun Di once temporarily acted as a lieutenant of the shooting voice, it can be said that the arrival of Ma Riyan this time can be regarded as Dong Zhuo's "right medicine" for Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng, as a disciple of Lu Zhi and the son-in-law of the Xun family, although the holy decree in Ma Riyan's hand actually came from Dong Zhuo's mouth, he did not dare to make it difficult for Ma Riyan who was ordered to come.

Liu Zheng not only did not maliciously make things difficult, but also cooperated with Ma Riyan's task, and after the three concessions, he gladly accepted the holy decree, and also bribed all the angels, including Ma Riyan, and played the attitude of complimenting Dong Zhuo to the fullest.

Liu Zheng also revealed his intention to pursue fame and fortune. After all, only obsessed with something is easy to control in the eyes of others.

In his opinion, Ma Riyan must have seen through these at that time, but the old man was very cooperative with the implementation of this matter, Meiyu faintly disliked Liu Zheng's flattery, and when he turned his head to greet Xun You, who accompanied him, it was vaguely revealed between the lines that Liu Zheng told Xun Shuang, stabilized the hearts of the scholars in Shandong, and united the inside and outside to support the Han family.

It's just that, as Xun You said, "the overall situation is the top", no matter how good Ma Riyan is, he is still controlled by Dong Zhuo, and the other party did not mention his views on Liu Yu's entry into Beijing, whether it is with other plans, or he feels that he has nothing to say with Liu Zheng, at least Liu Zheng will never watch Youzhou change hands, so that Youzhou's current good situation is moving towards an uncertain future.

In recent years, Liu Yu has served as a pastor in Youzhou, although Liu Zheng's attitude towards Liu Zheng makes Liu Zheng very disgusted, but he is really good to the people.

The situation is as Lu Zhi said in the past, the Hu market in Shanggu County has been opened, and the salt and iron business in Yuyang County has been officially taken over by Liu Yu.

This also directly created Liu Zheng, Lu Zhi and others who were taking precautions to get a piece of the pie, but because of the Hu people, the contradiction between Gongsun Chan and Liu Yu became deeper and deeper.

After all, no matter how friendly the Hu people are, they will always cause some trouble because of the prejudice of the Han people and their own concepts, plus Zhang Ju's rebellion a few years ago, Xianbei Wuhuan also participated in it, Gongsun Zhan was angry, so he advocated the expulsion of the Hu people and violent suppression, which was contrary to Liu Yu, who advocated not to blame the Hu people in the past and applied benevolent government.

Gongsun Chan was ordered to ride the lieutenant to stay in Youzhou Youbeiping, grain, grass, and military supplies were subject to Liu Yu after all, and once Liu Yu left, no matter who came, it was impossible to be more authoritative than Liu Yu, so Gongsun Zhan, who had 20,000 soldiers and horses, might not be able to be suppressed.

But Liu Yu didn't leave, the two had deep contradictions and long-standing grievances, and more intense conflicts would always break out like the history that Liu Zheng knew.

Therefore, when Xun You proposed to stop the angel from going north, Liu Zheng did not agree to his own people pretending to be thieves, or let the local Black Mountain thieves and Yellow Turban thieves stop him, but planned to see Liu Yu's reaction and lead Gongsun Zan to take action by the way.

The method is not difficult, that is, to tell Gongsun Yue Angel, who lives in Zhuo County, to visit, so that Gongsun Fan, who lives in Zhuo County in the past few days, knows about it, so that Gongsun Chan can know.

It's hard to say that Gongsun Chan will definitely do something when he knows that the angel is visiting, after all, Liu Yu is really leaving, and he can be out of sight and out of mind.

But in Liu Zheng's opinion, no matter how stupid Liu Yu is, he will consider it for a while before deciding whether to leave or stay, I am afraid that Liu Yu's subordinates will also dissuade him from staying, and Liu Zheng plans to let Zhang Mancheng and Zhang Yan lead people to seal the official road and leave Liu Yu here.

In these cases, as long as there is some rumor, if Gongsun Chan really has the heart to confront Liu Yu, there will be no movement, so if he wants to develop around Liu Yu, the great Sima and Youzhou Mu, and even does not listen to Liu Yu's arrangement, it is a good choice for Gongsun Chan to be self-reliant, arrest angels, and overhaul officials.

The court is now in power by Dong Zhuo, and for the powerful gentry in various states and prefectures, there is no authority, and the matter of holding angels hostage and self-proclaimed official positions has even been thought about when Liu Zheng heard about the angel's visit today, not to mention that Gongsun Chan himself is not a pedantic person, and he holds military power.

It's just that the embarrassment is the embarrassment in Gongsun Yue.

Whether it is Liu Zheng preparing to go north to join Liu Yu, or the possible future obstruction of Gongsun Zhan's willfulness, Gongsun Yue is caught in the middle, and it seems extremely embarrassing after all.

Speaking of which, Gongsun Yue was arranged by Gongsun Chan to stay here to take care of the industry, which can actually be regarded as a legitimate eyeliner arranged by Gongsun Chan by Liu Zheng's side.

On weekdays, Gongsun Yue and Liu Zheng move around a lot, Xun Yu also agrees with Gongsun Yue's frankness and honesty, thinking that Liu Zheng is already planning to sing against Gongsun Zhan, and he also has some sympathy for Gongsun Yue.

What's more, Xun Yu knew that although Xun Yu used this to ridicule Liu Zheng, he actually agreed with Liu Zheng's ideas - even these things, he also heard Xun You and Liu Zheng have long deduced in private, many of Liu Zheng's ideas actually have Xun You's will in them, knowing that Gongsun Yue will be pitted by Xun You and Liu Zheng, he feels miserable.

Of course, the most important thing is that Xun Yu himself decided to take advantage of this matter to completely win over Gongsun Yue, and when he decided to do it, he couldn't help but have some sympathy for Gongsun Yue's possible struggle and swaying in the future......

There is also some schadenfreude.

After the words, the expression finally became gloating, after being teased by Liu Zheng and Xun You, Xun Yu also reminded again and again that he must not let the angel have anything, and he must not violate his bottom line to shoot at the loyal ministers of the court, Liu Zheng happily agreed and said goodbye to the two and walked back to the room.

At this time, the room is warm in the sun and the dust is stirring.

Someone was silently busy in the house.
