Zhuye Jian is subordinate to Shaofu, but he is also proficient in Shaofu.

In fact, under the rule of Shaofu, there are two official offices with very special surnames. One is the official office of the Captain of the Water Scale, supervising the construction of boats and equipment; The other is the official office of the Captain of Zhuye, supervising the manufacture of weapons and armor, as well as various iron tools. The lieutenant of Shui Heng is now a virtual reality, and Liu Ye of Shaofu is concurrently serving as him. However, Zhuye Duwei is indeed a real yamen, on the one hand, it is subordinate to Shaofu, and on the other hand, it is under the jurisdiction of Sikong Mansion.

However, on the whole, Zhuye Mansion is still under the rule of Shaofu, at least nominally, it must obey the supervision of Shaofu Liu Ye.

Due to the nature of the work, Zhuye Mansion did not set up an official office in the imperial city, but set up a separate office in Xudu Xili Xu. It is adjacent to the Xudu Xiuchun Gate, covering an area of 0.6 inclination, about 40,000 square meters. The door is very high, and on each side there is a stone sculpture of an ancient gold-swallowing beast.

Walking inside, all the matters of Zhuye Mansion are handled in the vestibule.

Three in and three out, in the center is a central hall, and the façade is set up with statues of great craftsmen such as Gong Yi Pan and Ou Yezi.

Liu Ye usually doesn't manage the Zhuye Supervisor very much, and after the Zhuye Supervisor was upgraded to the government, he came even less. But today, Liu Ye is going to look up a piece of information. He is also a master of the organ, and some information about the news of the organ is usually hidden in the library of Zhuye Mansion. Therefore, even a person like Liu Ye, who has a huge collection of books at home, needs to go to Zhuye Mansion when looking for professional information.

The work of Zhuye Mansion is very complicated.

The smelting of the whole country, as well as the needs of all kinds of baggage equipment, must be reported by the Zhuye Prefecture and then distributed.

There are more than 100 officials and miscellaneous servants here, and it can be regarded as a very specific functional department. When Liu Ye came to Zhuye Mansion, the officials were busy. Cao Ying ordered Zhuye Prefecture to speed up the production of weapons, and make sure that the soldiers and horses in Yuzhou, especially in Yingchuan Chen County, including Chen Liu, could change their equipment before the end of the year. At the same time, Zhuye Mansion also undertook the supervision of the construction of agricultural tools such as Cao Gong plows. On the first day of the new year, Haixi asked for 3,000 Cao Gong ploughs...... These things must also be supervised by the Zhuye Mansion.

In short, Zhuye Mansion is not a big thing, and there are small things.

Although more than 100 people are busy, they are well organized and there is no chaos.

"What's going on with these signs?"

Liu Ye pointed to the signs hanging at the doors of each room and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Back to Liu Shaofu, this is Cao Duwei's order to create it, so that the people who come to deliver the news and submit the official documents can find the people they belong to without asking."

Liu Ye nodded slightly, and asked the entourage, "Is everything normal in the house?" ”

"Everything works."

When the officer finished speaking, he suddenly couldn't recognize the laughter.

"Laughing at what?"

"It's just, it's just...... Cao Duwei seems to have been more interested recently...... Also, we found out that Cao Duwei was literate. ”

"Oh?"

"Cao Duwei has been like a demon recently, muttering all day long, and I don't know what to talk about...... What is the heaven and earth, and the universe is desolate...... It's kind of funny anyway. Everyone is speculating about what kind of book Cao Duwei is reading, and they are all very curious. ”

"I'm curious, too."

When Liu Ye heard this, he couldn't help but smile slightly.

He is not very familiar with Cao Ji.

However, because Deng Ji recommended Liang Xi at the beginning, Liu Ye felt a little uncomfortable. As a result, even Cao Ji was implicated, and he was not treated well by Liu Ye. Fortunately, Cao Ji had been working in Xingyang before, so Liu Ye couldn't find his trouble. Now that Cao Ji is back, and Deng Ji has indeed made outstanding achievements in Haixi, Liu Ye's little resentment has disappeared.

"What is Captain Cao doing now?"

"It's like reading a book in a public house in the back......"

"Take me there."

Liu Ye suddenly became interested and asked the official to take him to see Cao Ji.

The group walked through the path and came to the backyard public house. The place where Cao Ji works is actually a cross-courtyard with two rows of wings on the façade. One side is used to receive guests, and the other side can be used for Cao Ji to rest. The door of the public house was open, and Cao Ji was not in the room.

The handyman said that Cao Ji had just gone out and would be back in a while.

Liu Ye thought to himself: Anyway, this Cao Junshi is also an official under my rule. I haven't seen him since he took office. Anyway, there is nothing to do today, so the surname Suo will wait and meet him. It is said that the three captains of the Cao family want to see it...... Thinking of this, Liu Ye waved his hand and motioned for the officials to retreat.

Standing in this public house, he looked around and nodded slightly.

Cao Ji's public house, that is, the office, is about 200 square meters. There are no elegant utensils, a case, a few couches. The shelves are not full of books, there are drawings, and crude models of various utensils.

Come to think of it, it was Cao Jiping who studied in the room.

The room was big and plain.

Outside the window, there is a bamboo forest, lush and green, which makes people feel comfortable.

The wind blew in and it felt very comfortable. Liu Ye sat down on the couch, glanced at it, and saw a booklet on the case.

About ten sheets, bound with silk thread.

Above: 800 characters.

There is also a line of small words next to it: Chaowen said, Xi Ke died. Jiaer's expectations, especially unbearable.

What my precious son expects, I, as a father, must not let my precious son down.

Liu Ye couldn't help but laugh when he saw it.

He reached out and picked up the pamphlet. Turning the title page, I saw that the first page read: Daddy doesn't work hard, and Granda is very sad. If you work hard, how can you regret it?

The most interesting thing is that every two lines, there is a comic sketch.

One is a teenager with tears streaming down his face; The other was a black-bearded man, grinning.

This is a typical comic painting method of later generations, the picture is extremely cartoonish, but it is clear at a glance. Liu Ye couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw it.

He shook his head again and again, and said in his heart: This Cao father and son are interesting people.

However, Chaowen said that Xi Ke could die...... Well said, well said!

Liu Ye turned a page and saw it written: Heaven and earth are yellow, the universe is desolate, the moon is shining, and Chensu is listed. The cold comes and the summer comes, the autumn harvest and the winter are hidden, the leap is more than the age, and the law is adjusted to the sun.

At first, Liu Ye didn't pay much attention to it, and watched it all the way with the idea of killing time.

There is a column for every eight words, and a group of four words.

Each page has eight columns and a total of 64 words. Including the cover, title page and bottom, there are a total of 16 sheets, about 800 words.

Liu Ye gradually found that after reading all the way, none of the 800 words were repeated.

The combination of 800 characters covers astronomy and geography, military history, fishery and agriculture, and ancient allusions. The more Liu Ye looked, the more surprised he became, and the more he watched, the more incredible he felt. 800 square words are combined into a good article that has never been seen before, which is easy to understand, but has profound implications.

It can be seen that the person who wrote these 800 words took care of the factors of Cao Ji's low cultural level and did it deliberately.

Lenovo with the two cartoons on the title page, and the weird five-character quatrain. Liu Ye immediately guessed who wrote it.

"Ah, Xiaguan Cao Ji, I don't know that Liu Shaofu is coming, I haven't greeted him from afar, I hope I ask for forgiveness."

At this moment, Cao Ji came in from outside.

Liu Ye shuddered and looked up at Cao Ji.

I saw Cao Ji, eight feet tall and burly. Wearing a dark cyan robe, he showed a touch of elegance in his burrow.

Liu Ye's gaze suddenly softened.

At this time, Cao Ji became very cute in his eyes.

Especially Cao Ji's beard, he immediately thought of the grinning portrait in the comics, and couldn't help laughing.

"Junshi, don't be polite, I also pass by occasionally today, why are you guilty?"

As he spoke, Liu Ye actually stood up and walked over to grab Cao Ji's arm.

This also made Cao Ji suddenly feel flattered. And Liu Ye's entourage was dumbfounded one by one. Who doesn't know that this Liu Ye and Liu Ziyang are extremely arrogant people. Even if he is with Kong Rong and those celebrities, he is rarely so kind.

How do you ...... "Junshi, is this Zhuye Mansion still used to it?" ”

Cao Ji scratched his head and smiled innocently, "I'm not used to it." After being in the workshop for a long time, I was used to hearing the sound of striking iron, and suddenly it became so quiet...... Hehe, but it's okay, it'll be fine later. ”

It's no wonder that it's always a little uncomfortable for a person who has been working at the grassroots level for many years to sit in an office.

Liu Ye didn't care, and gossiped with Cao Jiyou for a while, and suddenly the conversation changed and shook the booklet in his hand.

"Junshi, who wrote this."

Cao Ji was stunned for a moment, and immediately replied: "It's my family...... Oh, the book written by Cao Peng, the commander of the horse. Hehe, he wants me to read and write, but I'm so old that I'm not used to it. Ah Fu, oh, the dog thought hard all night, drove out this eight-hundred-character essay, and asked Mr. Kan Ze, a staff member next to him, to teach me. Mr. Kan said that the 800-character essay of the dog is a strange text, and it may not be published once in 500 years.

I don't understand, but I think it's catchy and easy to remember.

I memorized twenty words a day, and then went home and wrote dozens of times silently, but I also gained a lot of knowledge......"

"Not to mention that once it comes out in five hundred years, since Gaozu Xinghan, I'm afraid that even Sima Xiangru and Dongfang Shuo may not be able to write such articles."

Liu Ye said with a straight face: "Junshi, how can you enjoy such a good article exclusively."

I want to borrow it and copy it at home, I don't know if it's possible? ”

Cao Ji nodded ignorantly and said, "Why not, Ah Fu, the dog has written three volumes for the lower officials, one in his hand and one in the hand of Mr. Kan Ze." Shaofu just take it, and let the dog copy a copy for me when I go home, so why be polite? ”

He really didn't understand the meaning of those 800 words.

Liu Ye let out a sigh of relief, looked at Cao Ji with complicated eyes, and felt a little envious in his heart.

Such a good son, how can he be the son of this muddy man? However, with such a good son, this guy will have a bright future.

Regarding the fact that Cao Ji and Cao Ying are of the same sect, Liu Ye is not clear.

At the beginning, Cao Ji only mentioned this matter to Xun Yu and Guo Jia by chance, and later Cao Nan mentioned it to Mrs. Wu, and then Cao Ying, Cao Zhen, Cao Pi and Xiahou Zhen knew about it. And after Cao Ji returned to Xudu, Cao Ji didn't have time to talk to him. In addition, this matter of returning to the ancestors and recognizing the ancestors does not mean that returning to the ancestors and recognizing the ancestors will be returned to the ancestors, and a lot of things need to be done to verify it...... The reason why Liu Bei was able to return to his ancestors and become a legitimate member of the Han family was because of a sentence from the Han Emperor.

The clan is weak and needs to have strong people. Liu Xie himself also hoped that the clan could become stronger, so he pushed the boat along the river.

But for the clan, sometimes it's more complicated than the royal family.

Cao Peng didn't tell Cao Ji either, but just asked him to read and write to prepare for the future.

In order to improve Cao Ji's interest in learning, Cao Peng took great pains. is really fortunate that his father in his previous life was an ancient Chinese scholar. Cao Peng's enlightenment readings in his previous life were thousand-character texts, hundred family names, three-character scriptures and disciple rules. However, in comparison, the Three Character Sutra and the Disciple Gui are a little far away from this era, so many of the contents are not suitable. However, the thousand-character text is different, it was written in the period of Emperor Wu of Liang in the Southern Dynasty, and the author is Zhou Xingsi, a member of the Wai Scattered Cavalry. The time when the thousand-character text was written was only three hundred years away from this time, and both the use of the text and the format of the book were in line with the habits of the late Eastern Han Dynasty. But even so, Cao Peng wasted a lot of energy.

First of all, he had to write down all the 1,000-word texts silently.

Then we must erase the content that does not fit the background of this era...... After going back and forth, he crossed out 200 words, and it became the current 800-character text.

As soon as the eight-hundred-character essay came out, regardless of Kan Ze or Huang Yueying, they were all shocked. Huang Yueying immediately copied a copy and put it around her to study, and she could also use these 800 words to explain and teach to Zhang and Cao Nan, which can enhance the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law on the one hand, and strengthen the academic cultivation of Zhang's mother and daughter on the other hand. After all, these 800 characters are from Cao Peng's hand, as Cao Peng's mother and sister, how can he be illiterate?

Not only can Zhang and Cao Nan know only half of it, but they also need to be familiar with it, and they need to memorize it backwards.

This is the foundation of the rise of a family...... In the future, it can even be used as the inheritance of the Cao family.

When a family has something that can be inherited (the inheritance here is not a material inheritance, but a spiritual and cultural inheritance), it is equivalent to having the capital to become a family. Huang Yueying is from a family, so she naturally understands it very clearly.

Coupled with Cao Peng's unique views on the "Analects" before, it also has the significance of inheritance.

Although he only wrote one article "Xueer", in Huang Yueying's opinion, if Cao Peng can really comment on the "Analects", it will be enough to become everyone.

Cao Peng and Huang Yueying's painstaking considerations, Cao Ji didn't understand.

But Cao Ji, who was burdened with Ai'er's ardent expectations, also made up his mind not to disappoint Cao Peng.

It's just that Cao Ji doesn't know what kind of changes this 800-character essay will bring to him.

When facing Liu Ye, he still showed a trace of trepidation out of instinct, but compared to the beginning, he has made great progress.

Liu Ye got this volume of "Eight Hundred Character Text" and had no intention of staying any longer.

After a few more words with Cao Ji, he said goodbye and left.

With the "Eight Hundred Character Text" in his arms, Liu Ye hurriedly walked out of Zhuye Mansion. He boarded the carriage and said to the driver, "Let's go, go to Sikong Mansion immediately." ”
