The next day, Lu Ren received a telegram from Zhao Yu.

Lao Cao's troops to Jingzhou are imminent, and Zhao Yu, who has been staying in the north in the name of building the Nanpi Trade Wharf, has naturally a very heavy intelligence task, and in addition to some major intelligence, some messy small information also has to help Lu Ren inquire.

For example, when Lu Ren and Zhang Zhongjing met a few days ago, as soon as Zhang Zhongjing was reminded of a few words, Lu Ren remembered the matter between Hua Tuo and Cao Chong, and then asked Zhao Yu to inquire about the news of these two people. And Zhao Yu's movements were also fast, and he replied to Lu Ren in just a few days...... Of course, it is mainly because Lu Ren just wants to know if these two people are still alive, and second, these two are not confidential personnel, and it is not difficult to find out about them.

According to Zhao Yu's return, Hua Tuo was not killed by Lao Cao as in the original history, but continued to be a small speaker by the side of Emperor Liu Xie. Lu Ren has his own analysis of this point, that is, in the original history, Hua Tuo originally wanted to be an official, but because he had no way to enter, he couldn't do it, and he happened to meet Lao Cao who wanted Hua Tuo to become his personal doctor, Hua Tuo played a careful eye with Lao Cao because he didn't want to be a doctor, and Lao Cao killed Hua Tuo in anger.

But the current situation is that Hua Tuo was recommended by Lu Ren and successfully became an official, which can be regarded as having achieved his long-cherished wish, even if he is just a meaningless little arguer, at least he is a serious official. And the most important one is that Hua Tuo is a direct official next to Emperor Liu Xie, Lao Cao hinders the face of Emperor Liu Xie, and many things can't be done too much, such as giving the people around Emperor Liu Xie to leave at will.

You must know that at this time, Lao Cao Ke has not yet reached the level where he can do whatever he wants in front of Emperor Liu Xie, and some of the face that should be given still has to be given. Besides, Hua Tuo is just a small speaker, unlike some other people who have any significant influence on Lao Cao, and Lao Cao will not even be able to tolerate such a petty official.

On the other hand, because Hua Tuo has the main position of a court official, then helping people to see a doctor has become an amateur deputy position, and it is easier for him to accept it psychologically.

At that time, the humanistic concept was "Shinong Industry and Commerce", and in addition to selling the face of Emperor Liu Xie, Lao Cao could not downgrade his status at will for scholars and officials who were not at fault. If you really want to remove Hua Tuo from the position of an official and become his personal doctor, Hua Tuo's social status has dropped by two layers, which is too easy to have a bad impact on the scholar class. After unifying the north, Lao Cao still counted on those scholars to rule and govern, and this kind of public anger could not be easily offended.

In short, Hua Tuo's life was saved, and the little prodigy Cao Chong, a character related to it, should have escaped because of this. According to the news sent back by Zhao Yu, Cao Chong had a sudden illness at the beginning of spring, when Cao Cao sent people to take Hua Tuo from Xuchang to Yecheng almost by forceful means, and cured Cao Chong of this emergency illness. Fortunately, Hua Tuo is now an official of the court, and Lao Cao has some scruples to sell some face, otherwise it depends on Lao Cao's temper...... Huh.

When Lu Ren received these news, he actually just said "hehe" a few times. If Hua Tuo is not dead, it is obviously unrealistic to want to abduct him to Yizhou, and this Nima also has to see if Lao Cao Ken refuses to nod, right? So for Hua Tuo, Lu Ren is staring at Hua Tuo's "Green Capsule Book", and Lu Ren believes that with the relationship between himself and Hua Tuo, it should not be a problem to turn this set of books over.

As for the little prodigy Cao Chong, Lu Ren is just waiting to watch the play. Cao Pi's methods can play Cao Zhi, but if you want to play Cao Chong, you are obviously not up to the level. And after more than ten years, if Cao Chong takes over Cao Cao's class, I really don't know how much impact it will have on the course of the current situation. However, Lu Ren believes that after more than ten years, he will be able to organize his territory into a strong territory, and at that time, he should have enough confidence to call Cao Chong a board.

These are just a small episode for Lu Ren, and yesterday he sent Liu Ye to preside over the Spring Ploughing Festival, and now he should also go to all parts of the city to see, just think that he is idle, and go to implement the order of "public security inspection".

After saying hello, Lu Ren went out with his guards and entourage. And while strolling around, Lu Ren unexpectedly ran into a few women of different races...... It's really an alien race, because Lu Ren encountered the humility of the second generation of Yamatai, and the current title is a bit ridiculous "sub-inferior".

It is said that Gan Ning went around the Yamatai area at that time and captured a bunch of prisoners, including Cibei, and it has been more than half a year now. During this period of time, Lu Ren adopted a very open strategy towards Cibei and others, that is, in addition to not allowing Cibei and them to leave Yizhou, the basic personal freedom was not restricted, and at the same time, he also borrowed a few students who were good at scripture from Zheng Xuanzheng to teach Cibei and them to study.

Is this right or wrong? Lu Ren has his own opinion.

Lu Ren had read a lot of fiction novels, and many of them were full of a kind of cultural blockade of Wajima, that is, the idea that nothing should be taught to Wajima. To be honest, Lu Ren also had a supportive attitude towards this view when he was a grassroots resentful youth. But after so many years of mixing in the late Han Dynasty, Lu Ren's view of this has changed to a certain extent. Let's put it this way, Lu Ren clearly understands that this aspect of things cannot be done too absolutely, but must distinguish what can be taught and what cannot be taught.

For example, cultural things such as culture, music, and religion can not only be taught, but should also be actively taught, because this is related to the cultural influence of a country and a nation on the outside world. And what is the use of cultural influence? To put it nicely, it is to increase the other party's sense of identity and admiration for their side; But to put it mildly, it's actually a soft aggression, a kind of aggression that assimilates spiritually.

It's just that when he thinks of this, Lu Ren's heart is very unhappy. How many good things did the ancestors of China leave behind? But how much can we really see in modern society? Let's talk about martial arts, Chinese martial arts are broad and profound, but in modern society, what can be seen and learned is really pitiful, and the more common thing in the city is the so-called taekwondo or karate and the like, this Nima is actually invaded by other people's cultural influence, okay? Even the Olympics have official competitions such as taekwondo or judo, but what about Chinese martial arts? Where are the official competitions of Chinese martial arts?

There are also Korean dramas, Japanese dramas, American blockbusters and the like, from anime cartoons to all kinds of games, which have actually been deeply invaded by others in the cultural field. The resulting reflection is the arrogance, complacency, backwardness and ignorance caused by the Chinese continent being too closed for centuries. This is also fortunate because the Chinese civilization is extremely profound, and those messy things cannot shake the foundation of the Chinese civilization, otherwise I am afraid that the Chinese civilization will become like the Egyptian civilization...... Egypt's native civilization can be said to have died out completely.

It's a bit far, anyway, Lu Ren's idea is that something with cultural influence should be boldly disseminated. To put it mildly, even if Lu Ren doesn't do this, aren't those feudal emperors who claim to be the heavens/dynasties at every turn, and they will put on a posture of being a leader and spread all their good things? And in Lu Ren's hands, at least there will be some control.

But but! In terms of science and technology, Lu Ren has to strictly control it. At this point, Lu Ren adheres to a point of view, that is, if you fall behind, you will be beaten, but what is the reason for backwardness? It's because you don't know how to improve yourself! Isn't that what modern China looks like? I always think that my own country is a heaven/court state, and I always feel that other countries are not as good as my own barbarian foreign countries, and I don't know that I should continue to strive for self-improvement, which has caused a large backward situation.

However, the things involved in this are not the slightest bit, and Lu Ren himself is not a "brick family", so it is tantamount to nonsense to ask him to explain these things clearly. In short, Lu Ren's principle is that I will teach you the text, and use cultural influence to influence you; As for Wu's, hehe, I'm sorry! When I'm done with the replacement here, I'll consider selling you the old stuff that I've replaced.

It is precisely because of this dominant ideology that Lu Ren will find a cultural teacher for Cibei and teach Cibei those traditional subsets of scripture and history. As for some other things, Lu Ren controlled them very tightly.

But then again, the level of studiousness of these Evil Matai nobles really made Lu Ren feel ashamed in his heart. Perhaps this is indeed a kind of nature in the bones of the people of Wajima, a nature that is extremely aggressive due to their own territorial factors. Although Lu Ren actually hates the Wadao people very much in his heart, he has to admit that the Wadao people's instinct to seek knowledge and learn for the sake of self-improvement is indeed much stronger than the traditional Chinese national mentality of being rich and peaceful, and at the same time, it is too aggressive.

This reminded Lu Ren of the decisive transformation of Wajima in modern times. In fact, Wajima has always followed the footsteps of the Chinese mainland in terms of political system, but after the strong ships of the European powers opened the door of Wajima, Wajima decisively gave up following the footsteps of China, and then moved out of the "take-it-or-leave-it" doctrine to learn from the European powers, and then became a powerful country in East Asia. Others can decisively improve themselves through change, but what was the Huaxia Continent like at that time!?

(PS, I wanted to write more about this bottle, but there were too many things involved, and the bottle itself felt that it was not good to write, and there was a suspicion of deception if it was really written, so it was almost on the line.) (To be continued.) )
