Chapter 127: Travelers

After Ma Hong learned from Wei Yan that Deng Zhi was from Yiyang, he asked Wei Yan to write a letter of recommendation for him, but Wei Yan refused to write it, and wrote a letter of recommendation only after Ma Hong forced him. Ma Hong personally came to invite Deng Zhi as an official, Ma Hong learned that this Deng Zhi was originally a descendant of Deng Yu, Ma Hong thought that it would be a little difficult to invite Deng Zhi, but he didn't expect this Deng Zhi to be simple, after reading Wei Yan's letter, he simply packed up his salute and went to Xinye.

Ma Hong and Deng Zhi are also the same age, and their words are also speculative, and they also learned from Deng Zhi the reason why Wei Yan was reluctant to write a letter of recommendation. This reason is indeed a bit difficult to say, in fact, in the early years, Wei Yan fell in love with a woman, who was Deng Zhi's unmarried wife. Wei Yan was unhappy in his heart, and found Deng Zhi and wanted to slap Deng Zhi, but was stunned by Deng Zhi's mouth cannon. It's not the key to being stunned, the key is that Wei Yan was sprayed by Deng Zhi, and then he didn't like that woman. [Deng Zhi Baidu Encyclopedia does not have an exact age, but the glorious game data is 182 years, according to the life calculation, it is 182 years, when he was 18 years old, the older Ma Hong is one year old, and Ma Hong's birth date is 183 years. 】

Deng Zhi's ancestor Deng Yu and Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu were friends and assisted Liu Xiu in conquering the world, Liu Qi, as a descendant of the royal family, naturally could not snub Deng Zhi, and Deng Zhi was known as a virtuous person in Yiyang. Liu Qi asked Deng Zhi to be the Cheng of Xinye County and handle the government affairs of Xinye County. Because Liu Qi had just entered Nanyang and there was an urgent shortage of talents around him, Liu Qi asked Chen Zhen, a famous man in Nanyang, to be the commander of Xinye County.

Ma Hong also learned that Liu Qi's illness was not leaked, and after Liu Qi was rescued from the water, although he was unconscious at the time, he woke up before the doctor was still alive and did not let the doctor check his body.

After Ma Hong returned to Xinye, he began to do several things:

The first is to build a large number of houses to appease the displaced people, so that the military and civilians can work together to reclaim wasteland and distribute land to the displaced people. In this era when there are few people in the land, as long as there are people, there is land, and Ma Hong can't help but think of the price of land thousands of years later in the process of dividing land.

The second is to build a school, strengthen education, and invite Wang Cang, a famous scholar who lives in Xiangyang, to study in Xinye. Wang Cang was originally from Shanjun, Shandong, but because he was an outsider, he was not willing to do anything in Jingzhou, so Liu Qi responded as soon as he opened his mouth.

The third is to establish military academies to train some low-ranking officers and the children of non-commissioned officers who want to join the army. However, it did not go well at first, due to the lack of funds, and the Xinye wealthy family was unwilling to sponsor, and the students were difficult to collect, Ma Hong put it on hold for the time being after consideration.

The fourth is conscription, which is carried out among the displaced people who have moved from the north, and in a few months another 3,000 new soldiers have been recruited, and Li Yan is responsible for training.

The fifth is to formulate a strategy for attacking Hanzhong. Liu Zhang of Yizhou and Zhang Lu of Hanzhong have a feud, and if they attack Hanzhong, they can allow Liu Zhang to divide Hanzhong equally. Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang have been in constant friction in recent years, and if they promise heavy profits, Liu Zhang will inevitably agree in order to get rid of the thorn in his eye.

Ma Hong sat in the newly built school and drank tea and waited for Wang Cang, Wang Cang and Ma Hong said that they would give the poems written yesterday for Ma Hong to enjoy. As soon as Ma Hong drank half a cup of tea, Wang Cang came, and as soon as Wang Cang arrived, he couldn't wait to show Ma Hong the "Gongyan Poem" he wrote last night.

After Ma Hongbai read Wang Cang's poems, he was amazed: "After Hongbai read Mr.'s masterpiece, I was ashamed, the poems I wrote were compared with Mr., they were really rubble and jade, and I was embarrassed to let Mr. read the poems." ”

"Don't be modest, show me the poems you wrote."

Wang Cang was praised by Ma Hong, and he was overjoyed and wanted to see Ma Hong's works.

Ma Hong didn't give in, so he presented the poem "Red Bean" he wrote with both hands.

"The jade hand boils red beans, the love gradually turns sad, the delicate don't cry, when will the tears stop?" [Although it is original, it is embarrassing]

Wang Cang looked at the poem and read it out loud, and Wang Cang smiled after reading the poem.

Literati all hope that what they write can be appreciated by others, and they also hope to be praised by others, Ma Hong saw Wang Cang reading his poems, his heart jumped non-stop, and asked a little nervously: "What does Mr. think of the poems below?" ”

Wang Cang stroked his short beard, cleared his throat, and said with a smile: "I thought you were young and vigorous and would write heroic poems, but I didn't expect to write this lamenting poem in a woman's voice, which is really interesting and interesting." ”

"Let Mr. see it and laugh, it's really ...... to get an axe at the door of Mr.'s class"

"Oh, don't be modest, your writing is also quite romantic! From your poetry, I see your budding spring heart, it seems that you have to marry the daughter of the Kuai family as soon as possible! ”

"Haha, Mr. is laughing again."

Ma Hong smiled, although he didn't know whether Wang Cang really praised his poems or complimented him, he was very happy. Ma Hong was a teenager who loved literature when he was in school in his previous life, and he often took out the articles he wrote for the people around him to read, but there are very few people who really read his articles seriously. Although he knows that his literary attainments are far from Wang Cang, he is also very happy to communicate with Wang Cang, and he will never fool Wang Cang with those Tang and Song poems that have been passed down through the ages in order to get the recognition of the other party, which is not only an insult to himself, but also an insult to literature.

"If you are writing poems in the future, you must bring them to me to watch!"

Wang Cang touched his beard and said with a grin.

Ma Hong was overjoyed, and immediately stood up and bowed to Wang Cang and said, "Thank you, Mr. Hong, and please give me advice in the future." ”

Wang Cang hurriedly got up and replied: "There is no need to detain the number of courtesies, there is not much difference in age between you and me, and you and I will be brothers in the future." ”

Ma Hong laughed and said: "Before I saw Mr., Hong thought that Mr. could write chic poems and live a chic life, it seems that Hong did not guess wrong." ”

"Hey, there is no need to be detained between us, you can call me Brother Cang, you can call me Zhongxuan, don't open your mouth and shut up Mr." Wang Cang laughed.

It seems that this great writer who likes to learn donkey barking is really different, and he lives really chic, Pang Tong said a lot of interesting things about Wang Cang in private, Ma Hong remembered that Pang Tong told him that Wang Cang was obsessed with the days when the donkey barked at school, and often led the donkey to the bedroom, and his wife had a headache for Wang Cang's habits, and one day finally couldn't help but say to Wang Cang that you like donkeys so much, you will move to the donkey shed to live! Who knew that Wang Cang really rolled up the cover and lived in the donkey shed alone, Wang Cang lived in the donkey shed and got along with the donkey all day long, and finally imitated the donkey three months later, and imitated the vividness of the imitation, making it difficult to distinguish the true from the false.

Wang Cang invited Ma Hong to sit down, touched his beard and sighed: "Speaking of which, I still want to thank my brother, I have been idle for several years, and this time I can only come to this Xinye City to realize my ambitions thanks to my brother's recommendation." ”

Ma Hong said: "Mr. is talented, Hong has admired him for a long time, and the gentleman who can be invited this time is really a blessing for three lives." Hong believes that Mr.'s masterpieces will be able to last for centuries, and Mr.'s talent and learning will be able to drive the world's scholars. Mr. Hong hopes that he can award his full stomach to the scholars of the world, and can use his talents to serve the Han family. ”

After listening to Ma Hong's words, Wang Cang held Ma Hong's hand tightly and said: "Brother, don't worry, I will not disappoint the court, nor will I disgrace my ancestors, I will definitely show my talent and learn and pull this style of learning." It's just a brother! Let's not say that we won't call Mr. well, let's call Brother Cang in the future! It's comfortable to listen to. ”

Ma Hong laughed, if he called Brother Cang in his previous life, it would sound normal, but in this era, it is really a little embarrassing to call a scribe Brother Cang with a head and a face. But it was difficult to resist the enthusiasm, Wang Cang insisted on letting Ma Hong call him Brother Can, so Ma Hong opened his mouth and called Wang Cang twice. Wang Cang was very happy when he heard this, and pulled Ma Hong to say some interesting things. Wang Cang said interesting things, and when he talked about it, he talked about his acquaintance Pang Tong, Wang Cang said that Pang Tong told him that Ma Hong was not confined to the world and was his good brother Pang Tong. Pang Tong often calls himself a phoenix, and also calls Ma Hong a bird, a bird that accompanies the phoenix.

After Ma Hong visited Wang Cang, he was thinking about how to write good poems and sentences for several days, and every time he wrote a poem, he had to ponder carefully for a long time before he showed it to Wang Cang, and Wang Cang would also point out Ma Hong and put forward some suggestions after reading Ma Hong's poems. Ma Hong humbly asked Wang Cang for advice, and Wang Cang also taught him without reservation. Ma Hong opened two university halls in Xinye, all of which were handed over to Wang Cang, who was also busy with official duties every day, and occasionally invited Ma Hong to recite poems together to make the wind and the moon.
