The Du Shi that Wang An knows is the Du Shi Du Jun Gong who improved and promoted blast iron smelting in Nanyang and left a mark in history textbooks. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 After asking, this is also called Du Shi Du Jungong, a native of Ji County, Hanoi. Could it really be that one, and not the same name and surname? There are too many people with the same name and surname in the Han Dynasty, such as Wang An's deceased uncle Wang Feng, the Marquis of Yangping, and Wang Feng, the commander of the Green Forest Canal twenty years later. People like to use auspicious characters to name names, so there are many people with the same name, such as Li Yanshou, Du Yanshou, Li Yannian, Du Yannian. In order to show respect for officials, the documents of the imperial court would only write names. When Wang An reads the newspaper, he often thinks that it is the same person. I hope it's the same person, Wang An said silently in his heart, this is really a talent that can be met but not sought. A Confucian disciple who understands all kinds of work.

Nanyang is Liu Xiu's birthplace, most of the 28 generals of Yuntai are from Nanyang, Du Shi is neither Liu Xiu's descendant, but also a native of other counties, but he can die well in the position of Nanyang Taishou, and his ability cannot be underestimated. Also because the Nanyang people control the court, Du Shi cannot enter the center. Even Zhuge Liang has to say, "Chenben cloth, ploughing in Nanyang ......", and Zhuge Liang's county is Langya Zhuge clan. Wang An felt that the greatest contribution of the Yellow Turban Dong Zhuo Rebellion in the late Eastern Han Dynasty was to sweep away the Nanyang wealthy clans who controlled the court and vacate a large number of official positions for the wealthy clans in other places.

Du Shi's ox cart led the way in front, Wang An's carriage followed, and after walking for about half an hour, the carriage stopped, and Du Shi said, "Please San Langjun get off." Wang An stepped out of the carriage and found it parked in front of a large house. Du Shi said: "This is a house arranged for the main family, because no one has come to the main house, so it has been empty." A few days ago, the prince sent a letter, informing San Langjun that he would stay here, and then arranged for someone to clean it, and if there was any mistake or omission, he also looked at Haihan. ”

"Have you ever been paid?"

"I don't know if Lang Jun is satisfied, but he hasn't paid it."

"My preferences, how do they know, let my people take care of the rest." Wang An told the eldest girl to settle the salary, and arrange the room, and then move in when the follow-up people arrived.

"Does Saburo-kun want to rest?"

Wang An shook his head: "My lord told me to come here to meet Mr. Cui first." ”

Du Shi looked up at the sky and said, "Mr. Cui has just started class, and it will take about an hour." Zhuangzi's materials are all in the study, why don't you go there first? ”

"No".

There were already a lot of bamboo slips in the study, Du Shi pointed to the bamboo slips and introduced them to Wang An: "This is the information of tenants, Zhuangzi has a total of 187 tenants, nearly 1,000 people. ”

Wang An asked, "Are there any displaced people in Zhuangzi?" ”

Du Shi replied: "The homeless people are all hidden households and do not pay taxes, so they are not registered. ”

"When I came, I was asked to fill in the gaps, plug the loopholes, and not give people a handle. It's an eventful time, so if you can do less, you can do less. ”

Du Shi thought for a while: "There are about nearly 1,000 hidden households on the Zhuangzi, and it will take a lot of time to register them all." ”

"Of course, it takes a lot of time for a person, so let's just find more people who can read and break words."

"Then I can only find Mr. Cui."

"Jun Gong is from Ji County, Hanoi, and Mr. Cui is from Qing Ha County, how did Jun Gong worship Mr. Lao as a teacher?"

Two years ago, Liu Xiang's son, Liu Xin, the son of Hanoi, invited the teacher to go to the county school to teach, and he was a student of the county school at that time. After Liu Mingfu left Hanoi County, the teacher took a certain to Chang'an, and the new capital Marquis returned to Fengguo, and the teacher also went south, but he was unwilling to stay in the Hou Mansion, so the prince arranged for him to live here. ”

"Mr. Cui will accept students as soon as he comes?"

Du Shi shook his head: "No, the teacher took a certain person to visit Nanyang Taishou, Wancheng Order, hoping to help a certain find an official and a half-job, but he was politely refused." The teacher said to a certain person, the time has not come. After that, he closed his door to thank customers and practiced martial arts and swordsmanship. ”

"Mr. Cui also knows martial arts?"

"The teacher was a ranger for nearly ten years, and he didn't return to Qinghe County until he was thirty years old, married a wife, had children, and took over as the head of the family.

"The old gentleman is an old man with an old heart and an active heart."

Du Shi laughed when he heard this.

When Du Shi stopped laughing, Wang An asked, "How many students does the old gentleman have now?" ”

"Now there are only about twenty of them."

"So little?"

"The teacher is strict, not only to be able to write articles, but also to practice martial arts, and those who can persevere are able to write and martial arts."

In Mr. Cui's study, Wang An saw the paper of the Han Dynasty for the first time, Wang An wanted to try the quality of the paper, sat down in front of the desk, picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and fell on the paper was a black ball.

Du Shi picked up the brush, demonstrated to Wang An, wrote three words on the paper "Zi Xufu", and then explained to Wang An: "This paper is easy to absorb ink, so the pen should be stable and the pen should be fast, otherwise it will be a ball of ink." ”

"Old man, this is a pen as a sword."

"Yes, people who practice martial arts should be like this."

An old man walked in, Wang An only felt a momentum coming towards him, is this the so-called coercion? Then this momentum suddenly disappeared again, is this the call to come, lingering away?

"Teacher".

"Mr. Cui".

Du Shi and Wang An sat down on both sides of the desk and bowed respectfully.

After the old gentleman sat down, he looked at Wang An: "Wang Jujun wrote a letter to the old man, asking me to accept you as an apprentice, are you willing?" ”

Wang An shook his head: "I don't have time." Mr. Cui laughed: "Stretch out your hand." Mr. Cui took the pulse and said, "You come to me in a month and practice martial arts with me." ”

Wang An knew that this was the old gentleman's biggest concession, so he replied respectfully: "No."

The old gentleman was very happy: "Your Chang'an Zhengyin is very good. ”

"It's all teachers who teach well."

"That old girl knows, like her mother."

The eldest girl only said that she was an official maid and never talked about her family. Knowing books and answering courtesies and understanding officialdom is something that only wealthy families can do, not something that ordinary eunuchs can do.

"What did you do when you came to the old man?"

Wang An told the old gentleman that he wanted to count the hidden household, and also expressed his worries, afraid that someone would make things difficult for the Wang family in the future, so he hoped to solve it as soon as possible. I hope that the old gentleman can explain to the students that they will be paid one day a day, and the doubling will be completed within five days.

"Isn't the kid afraid that my disciple will feel insulted and refuse to do this?" The old gentleman looked at Wang An.

Wang An bowed, and said: "Zilu was persuaded to be virtuous, and Zigong refused to be good and stopped." ”
