Chapter 223 Thousand Words
The winter of the thirty-fourth year of the First Emperor was very cold!
On the eve of the arrival of midwinter, a heavy rain not seen in 30 years caused the Sihong area to enter winter ahead of schedule.
On October 7, this time of year, Sihong was still very warm. But this year, the steep drop in temperature caught Sihong residents off guard.
In Peixian, Fengyi, Liuxian, Xisang and other places, there were cases of people freezing to death one after another.
The sudden bad weather also made the county guard of Surabaya County anxious. Originally, the personnel in his hands were not enough, and this kind of thing made him a little helpless. A large number of officials from each county were urgently dispatched to discuss how to solve this thorny problem.
Among the many problems, the most important is the food problem.
As a result of the heavy rains that had earlier occurred, many farmers were experiencing shortages in their homes. The surroundings of Xiangxian are fine, but along the coast of Surabaya, including Xiapi Pengcheng, there are beginning to be homeless people. Since ancient times, displacement has been a big problem. If it is not handled well, it will inevitably turn into a huge disaster. In desperation, Yingzhuang finally reported to Xianyang and requested the opening of the warehouse reserve to alleviate the crisis.
There are now more than 100 large warehouses and nearly 1,000 grain cellars.
According to the regulations of Daqin, a grain cellar can store 3,000 stone of grain. Nearly 1,000 grain cellars, that's almost 3 million stone of grain.
Of course, these grains are used as strategic reserves.
It also undertakes the grain road hub of Donghai, Surabaya and Jiujiang County.
Open the warehouse and release the grain. Definitely a big deal. Even if it's strong. Two thousand stones, a large man. I don't dare to make decisions on my own.
Good at this time. Warehouse Order. Liu Kan, the governor of Surabaya, led his troops back to Loucang.
Since the warehouse was at the beginning of construction. It takes into account various natural factors. Densely packed with ditches. Successfully protected the safety of the building. Meantime. A heavy rain. It has also put the Xinxing Suishui dam to the test. Even if it's low-lying. But it was not affected.
After hearing about the disaster in Xiapi and other places. Liu Kan convened the trilogy. Open private warehouse. In order to alleviate the disaster situation in Xiapi.
Meantime. Lu Wen, Chen Yi and others live in Loucangdi. through their own channels. Buying grain and grass from other places. Liu Kan even sent people to Shu urgently. Ask Jiangyang for help. October 20th. The southwestern canon belongs to the Ba Thorn. Raise 100,000 stones of grain and grass. From Jiangyang. Sail to Yi County.
Whether it is Liu Kandi's private warehouse. It was Lu Wen who donated grain in a righteous manner.
Including the grain and grass of Bashu that has not yet arrived, it has alleviated the disaster in the Surabaya area to a large extent.
As of November 17, the victims of the disaster in Pei, Xisang, Huling, and Xiapi counties. More than 80,000 people have been properly resettled and returned to their hometowns. By the time Xianyang's edict agreeing to open the building for grain storage arrived in Xiangxian, the disaster had been fully controlled. There is no need to open a warehouse to put grain anymore......
In the midst of this unexpected disaster, Loucang Town has become the most dazzling pearl in the Sihong area.
Yingzhuang played Shu Xianyang again, and wanted to ask for credit for Liu Kan and others.
Many people came to the door to say hello to Liu Kan. For a time, Loucang Town was full of people, but in the cold winter, it was particularly lively.
Liu Kan was very unhappy!
He sat in the hall of the government and listened to Lu Shizhi's report.
The dark skin is gloomy like water, which makes people feel an inexplicable coercion.
"Brother-in-law. I have found out in Xiapi that Zhang Liang did live there...... He is known as Han Liang, and he is not eye-catching on weekdays.
According to neighbors, this Zhang Liang did not socialize with people most of the time in the past few years in Xiapi, but only buried himself in reading. However, in August last year, Zhang Liang left Xiapi and never returned. No one knows either. Where exactly did he go? ”
"So you can't find him?"
Liu Kan tapped the bookcase lightly, and his voice was a little low
Lu Shizhi said: "From the current point of view, it is indeed missing...... However, brother-in-law, don't worry. I have secretly arranged for people to secretly monitor in Xiapi. As soon as there is a clue, I can get the news immediately. It's just that I don't understand, why do you value this Zhang Liang so much? His layout in Binh Duong. Not very clever...... It's not enough to make you pay so much attention to him. ”
How do you know? What a great reputation this good future will be?
Liu Kan muttered silently in his heart, thinking secretly: This time. Zhang Liangdi's plan is indeed not perfect. But resourcefulness is not innate, and it is not something that can be achieved by reading a few books. Zhang Liang in history, when he really became famous, was when Chu and Han fought for hegemony.
Time, only time is the key to cultivating a strategist.
When this person has enough time and enough experience, he will definitely show amazing energy.
It's not smart now, but it doesn't mean it's not smart in the future. Liu Kan subconsciously clenched his fists and lightly slammed it on the bookcase.
No matter how much time there is left before the Chu Han hegemony fights, something must be done......
Before, I didn't have this ability.
And now, Liu Kan has secured the position of Surabaya's lieutenant and has his own team in his hands, it is time to take the initiative.
"Little Pig, go and find Mr. Kuai, and say that I have something important to discuss with him in the evening...... Well, come over here! ”
"Whoa!"
Lu Shizhi complied and exited the room.
Liu Kan picked up the pen and paper from the bookcase, and after a moment of silence, he worked hard to write.
The letter was addressed to Barman.
The situation in Bashu has become clearer and clearer.
After the First Emperor succeeded in regaining control of Bashu, he generously granted Baman many privileges. Of course, these many privileges are not the same as the privileges given to Qin Qing back then. But for Baman, it is enough to build a force to confront Qin Zhi.
The Ba people in Shu were then divided into two factions.
Although Qin Tong lost the support of the imperial court, he held a large amount of wealth. In addition, Qin Tong has a close relationship with many indigenous Ba people, so a force has been faintly formed. And Baman, with the power of the Ba people's trading house and the privileges given by the first emperor, his career is also thriving. However, Baman's main exhibition direction is in Shu County. After all, Ba Thorn is in Shu County and can give her a lot of support.
So, in the past, Bashu was bounded by Jiangyang. It is divided into two parts.
With Tang Li's help, Baman was not in a hurry to expand his power, but to develop step by step.
Today, Baman's main focus is on the Moshui and Tsing Yi water basins. Moshui and Tsing Yi are both tributaries of the upper reaches of the river. The basin is also dominated by the Ba people. According to Tang Li's plan, when Baman gained a firm foothold in the Liangshui Basin, he would infiltrate the upper reaches of the river. In this way, Baman can completely gain a firm foothold in Shu County, and then slowly show himself to the southeast Qiongdu Yelang National Exhibition.
If it is summed up in one sentence, it is: first Bashu, then Yungui!
Tang Li's plan is also quite in line with Liu Kandi's meaning. It is impossible for Baman to show to Ba County. Nor can it be extended to Bajun.
What the First Emperor needed was a divided and fighting Bashu, not a single-handedly Bashu.
But. Baman wants to exhibit, and the resources in his hands are relatively lacking. Talent, in particular, is a big flaw in Baman. Counting with his fingers, he was not injured in the trial, and because of his official status, it was impossible to come forward to help. Zhang Cang is old, and he has the identity of a wanted criminal, so he is not suitable to come forward. As for Tang Li, he can strategize behind the scenes. However, there are not many people who actually handle it.
Jiangyang Zuoshi Li Xing recommended a few people to Baman. It's just that behind Li Xing, there is a huge family.
This person is a descendant of Li Bing, the Taishou of Shu County, and most of the people he recommended are also from the Li family in Chengdu. If all of them are appointed, it will inevitably lead to a situation where the tail is not over. There must be another force to come forward to restrain it in order to better develop it.
Tang Li suggested. Liu Kan transferred a few people from Loucang to Shu County to assist.
After some deliberation, Liu Kan decided to send the two ascetics of Zhou Chang to Shu County. Coupled with Cheng Miao, who had already set off to Shu County to assist in papermaking, in a short period of time, Baman did not need to worry about human affairs. As for later? Let's talk about it then!
"Father!"
A childish voice came from outside the door.
A five-year-old boy walked into the study.
"Peace, is there something wrong?"
Seeing this boy, Liu Kan's face. A slight smile immediately appeared.
Lad. It was Liu Kan's son, Liu Qin. Ping An is Liu Qin's nickname, and he is only five years old. Very intelligent, already able to read and write.
Lu mentioned it to Liu Kan more than once and wanted to find a teacher for Liu Qin.
It's just that after Liu Kan returned to Loucang, he caught up with the disaster. After that, I was so busy dealing with various things that I didn't have time to think about it.
Speaking of which, there are many people in Loucang Town who can read and hyphenate.
Whether it is Chen Ping, Cao Shen, or Jia Shao, including Liu Kan, they can all teach Liu Qin.
But Lu was not satisfied.
"The Taoist is good at conspiracy, and he has learned the yin owl; Quacher Jia Shao is good at sophistry, and he is not a good teacher. Brother Cao is normal, but a few days ago, I am actually teaching the art of Ping An Lao Zhuang...... I'm not saying that Lao Zhuang's skills are not good, but Ping An is only five years old.
I think he should be taught something normal, something appropriate for his age.
Too profound knowledge is really not suitable for Ping An's current age...... Kan, you still have to think of a way to see if you can find another person? ”
Ha, this is really difficult for Liu Kan.
He is also very busy with official business now, how can he have time to think about this?
Besides, most of the scholars he knew, except for Lou Cang, who were good at intrigue and trickery, were all officials in the court.
Liu Qin walked up to Liu Kan's side, "Father, grandma asked you to come over." ”
"Now?"
Liu Qin nodded, "Also, my mother asked the child to ask you, when will you find a gentleman for the child?" "Oh......"
Liu Kan put down the pen, folded the official document and put it away, and then picked up Liu Qin.
As he walked, he said with a smile: "Ping An likes to read and write? ”
"Yes!"
Liu Qin scratched his head, but smiled shyly, "But I don't like what Uncle Daozi taught me, it's so boring!" ”
Think about it, Cao Shen taught the Tao Te Ching, Chen Ping Kuaiche taught the land, it was the Yin Fu Sutra, and the Shang Jun book...... The Anji period is better, and it is the Yellow Emperor's internal scriptures that are taught. These things even give Liu Kan a headache, let alone a child who is only five years old.
"When Daddy is free, he must make up a book that Ping An likes!"
The words came out. But you have to do it.
But what to teach Liu Qin?
English or something like that is certainly unlikely...... And most of the things Liu Kan learned in his previous life were not in line with the times. Liu Kan hugged Liu Qin and thought as he walked. racking his brains, when Liu Kan was about to walk to the door of the back house, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind.
Chen Ping: They taught Liu Qindi something, and it can't be said bad!
in this world. Intrigue is an indispensable existence.
Liu Qin learned those things, and it was not without benefits. But before you can learn those things, you must first learn how to behave......
There is an article that is quite in line with Liu Qindi's age.
Liu Kan thought of this, and made up his mind.
At this time, he had already walked into the back house, and saw Old Madam Kan sitting on it, smiling and talking to Lu in a low voice.
In the past two years, the son has indeed been successful.
But it was time to accompany the old lady. Relatively reduced.
Therefore, the old lady was not very happy, so after Liu Kan walked in. The smile on her face vanished.
"The child has seen his mother!"
Liu Kan put down Liu Qin and stepped forward to salute Mrs. Kan, "I just don't know, what important things does the mother have to tell when she is looking for a child?" ”
Liu Qin ran to Lu's side and snuggled in Lu's arms.
The old lady said, "Ah Kan, your eldest brother's body and bones have been seen...... But his marriage can't always be dragged on like this.
Originally. At the beginning of the year, I wanted to do it for them. But Wang Ji said, you are in charge, and it is not good if you are not at home.
Now that you're back, I'm thinking about it, let's get your brother's business done early. There is no one in our family, so we simply choose a good day and let your brother and Wang Ji handle the marriage first. Also, what Wang Ji means. I want the letter to go to your brother's knees.
It's called Liu Xin, what do you think? ”
Liu Ju's body lock slave mark has been successfully removed. The operation was successful, and after a year of recuperation, Liu Judi's body and bones were also healed. However, he still didn't go out of the door, and he didn't step out of the second door. I accompany the old lady at home all day long, and sometimes I go to the barracks to wrestle with Zhong Liwu, Guan Ying and others. And his marriage to Wang Ji. But because Liu Kan was not at home. Dragged all the time.
Liu Kan thought about it and felt that over the years. Running around by herself, she took care of Liu Ju so that her mother would not be lonely.
Although there are still some doubts about Liu Ju's identity. But judging from the current situation, Liu Ju has no unfavorable actions against him. Even on some occasions, he did not hesitate to help. After a few years of living, Liu Ju has integrated into his family.
Thinking of this, Liu Kan nodded.
"What the mother said was that the child was negligent...... In this way, I will let Xiang Lao choose a good day and let the eldest brother and Wang Ji get married.
I don't have an opinion on the matter of changing the surname of the letter.
The Liu family is not prosperous, and many people are more lively. Besides, I like to believe it...... Hehe, this guy has the demeanor of a big brother, and now in the barracks, everyone calls him Xiaozhen. Two days ago, Zhongli was discussing with me to let Xin join the old camp. ”
When Mrs. Kan heard this, she also smiled.
"Ah Kan, Ah told me just now, I want you to find a gentleman for Ping An, do you have eyebrows?"
When Liu Kan heard this, he couldn't help but glare at Lu.
But seeing Lu smiling at him, Lilac spit lightly and made a grimace. Although she is a mother, Lu is still like a naughty girl most of the time. This smile is full of charm. Although Liu Kan was angry that she had caused trouble, he couldn't say anything.
Without waiting for Liu Kan to speak, Liu Qin spoke first: "Grandma, my father just said that he wants to make a book for me?" ”
"He? Writing a book? ”
Mrs. Kan couldn't help but laugh dumbly, "Instead of letting him teach you to read, it's better for grandma to teach you...... Kan, don't mess around. ”
Liu Kan smiled and said, "Mother, don't worry, the child won't mess around."
It's not easy to find a suitable gentleman for Ping An. The people the children know are all educated. It's a bit overkill to let them come and teach peace...... The child thought that he would first ask someone to write a sample of articles such as "Cangjie Chapter" with a small seal and a lishu respectively. These articles are easy to understand and not too difficult. When the child has time, ask someone to write a "Thousand Character Essay" for peace. ”
The Cangjie chapter is a Qin period character book, compiled by Tingwei Li Si.
In later generations, Li Si's "Cangjie Chapter", Zhao Gaodi's "Calendar Chapter" and Taishi Ling Hu Wujing's "Erudite Chapter" are known as the stereotyped characters of Qin Xiaozhen. Later, these three articles were collectively known as "Cangjie Chapter" and became children's enlightenment books. It's just that most of the Cangjie chapters that have been circulated in later generations have been mainly written by Lishu, and Qin Xiaozhen's Cangjie chapters have been lost. And in this day and age, there are not many people who read. So the number of people who know these three articles is also very rare. Liu Kan planned to ask Li Si and Zhao Gao to write the book himself.
Hu Wujing is dead, but he can ask his uncle and grandson to ghostwrite. Li Si, Liu Kan can ask for pen and ink through Li Youbai. It's just Zhao Gao...... Liu Kan really didn't have a good impression of this dead eunuch, but considering the authenticity of this history, Liu Kan still decided to ask Yingzhuang to come forward and ask for pen and ink on his behalf. However, the value of these three texts is far greater than the value of the collection itself.
Lu Guang's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but ask, "Ah Kan, aren't you telling the truth...... No, you have to explain today, what are you going to teach peace? Don't teach him some nonsense. In that case, I'd rather ask my mother to teach peace. ”
It seems that if you don't say that you are ugly, Mrs. Kan and Lu will not agree.
Liu Kan sighed, sat down, and stretched out his hand to signal Liu Qin to step forward.
He gently stroked Liu Qin's black and supple hair, closed his eyes, and tried to recall an article he had learned in his previous life.
"Heaven and earth are yellow, and the universe is desolate. The sun and the moon are full of sun and moon (sound ze, four tones), and the sun and moon are in full swing.
The cold comes and the summer comes, and the autumn harvest is hidden in winter. The leap is more than an adult, and the law is adjusted to the yang.
The clouds cause rain, and the dew turns into frost. Jin Sheng Lishui, jade out of Kungang.
The sword number is huge, and the pearl is called luminous. Guozhen Li Ji (pronounced nai, four tones), vegetable heavy mustard ginger ......"
Liu Kan chanted softly and sang a song of "Thousand Character Text" made by Zhou Xingsi, a loose horseman during the period of Emperor Wu of Liang in the Southern Dynasty, which slowly flowed out of his mouth.
None of these thousand-character texts are the same, but every sentence contains deep meaning.
That week, Xingsi turned white overnight in order to make "Thousand Character Essays", which shows the hardships. Its writing is gorgeous, the meaning is profound, and it is easy to learn and catchy. Liu Kan felt that this thousand-character text was far stronger than the so-called vernacular enlightenment reading that was popular in later generations.
And it meets the requirements of this era, Liu Qin is the most suitable to learn.
Mrs. Kan and Lu looked at Liu Kan blankly.
After a long time, Mrs. Kan suddenly smiled and said, "Such an article actually came from my son's mouth? Ah Kan, if you hadn't seen it with your own eyes and heard it with your own ears, my mother really couldn't believe that this article was actually from you...... Anyway, such a gorgeous text is indeed suitable for the age of peace.
Akan, what's the name of this article? ”
Liu Kan said: "This article has a total of 1,000 words, so let's call it a thousand-character article." If my mother thinks it's appropriate, I'll ask someone to write a notebook. ”
"Very good, very good!"
Mrs. Kan and Lu Lian praised again and again.
Liu Kan gently rubbed Liu Qin's head, and smiled bitterly in his heart: My son, your son is for you, but you are shameless to be a big thief. I only hope that it can be beneficial to you, and don't let down my hard work...... A thousand-word text, what a swan song!
