Chapter 32 Arrangements Before Departure
Wang An was not surprised at all when Deng Hua stopped him halfway. www.biquge.info He already knew from Wang Mang that Deng Hua was also recommended for office, and the official position he recommended was also to be the head of Yang, so he should want to touch Wang An's situation. Since his family knows his own affairs, the ink in Wang An's stomach is so little, and it will be gone after shaking it. This is not a dynasty that will win a full house by memorizing Tang and Song poems, this is a dynasty that reads poems and writes poems, and it is hundreds or thousands. Wang An was very glad that he didn't go to the banquet that day, and he accidentally showed his stuffing.
After Wang An came back, he first went to visit Mr. Cui and asked him to help take care of Zhuangzi, and by the way, he pointed out Yin Lu. Yin Lu is young after all, and he is a child of a big family, so it is inevitable that there will be some mistakes, and I hope that Mr. Cui can correct him in time. and assured Mr. Cui that he would find a way to let Miss Xia step into the door of Cui's house and let Cui Wei return to Cui's house.
Then he called everyone to a small meeting and announced that his wife had agreed to the marriage of Er Ya and Tian Da Lang, and returned Er Ya's deed of sale to her, which meant that Er Ya got rid of the cheap and became Qi Min again. Everyone congratulated the two of them one after another, and then Wang An asked those who wanted to return home and those who wanted to go to Chang'an to hand over their affairs clearly, and there should be no omissions.
After everyone dispersed, Du Shi suddenly returned, and he told Wang An that he wanted to go first: "Most of the people led by my uncle and grandson move slowly, and I haven't seen my parents for a few years after leaving home, so I want to return to Ji County first." ”
Wang An calculated in his heart that Du Shi had been away from home for a few years, just to find a half-official position, and now that he was going to Chang'an, he felt uncomfortable in his heart, and when he heard that Erya and Tian Dalang were married, I am afraid it would be even more difficult. Negligent negligence, Wang An muttered in his heart, it would be good for Du Shi to take the first step. Wang An asked, "Everything is left to Yin Lu?" Du Shi nodded yes. Wang An asked again: "Is the prince coming back?" Du Shi did not answer. Wang An promised to let Du Shi set off first.
Du Shi is leaving, Wang An feels uncomfortable, after all, Du Shi has helped him for nearly a year. Wang An wanted to practice calligraphy to get rid of this negative emotion, but he didn't have the energy, so he had to go out to breathe. The harvest day is approaching, and farmers are preparing for the autumn harvest. Wang An found Yin Lu and told him to kill a few pigs, two catties per household, and one catty for more than six people in the family. Wang An sighed: "Jun Gong is going home, I don't know if he will come back, even if it is for him, after all, I have been here for more than a year, I want to let the farmers know that Jun Gong is good, and in addition, I will give two five baht coins per mouth." Yin Lu nodded effortlessly.
Wang An looked around, found the figure of the old man again, and said to the other side: "The old man is still wandering around here?" Yin Lu looked over there: "He appeared when the farmer went to work, and he was still there when the farmer finished work, and the old man's health was really good." "Why don't you go to alchemy, one of the four great inventions is still waiting for you! Thinking like this in his heart, Wang An said, "Old man, you have come out to check the crops again." ”
The old man looked very angry: "The old man is less than sixty, don't call the old man." We are three brothers, I am the eldest, the second line of medical treatment, the third line of alchemy, the master named us Uncle Wei, Wei Zhong and Uncle Wei, you know how to call us, right? ”
Could it be that you still want to learn from Feng Tang and live to be over ninety years old? Wang An respectfully shouted, "Mr. Wei." ”
"It's like a word," Wei Bo stroked his beard, "boy, the old man asks you, why did you think of curing the crops?" Wang Anxin said, he can't say that there will be a lot of pesticides to protect crops in the future, so he has to say: "Mr. Big, please look, Mr. Yan said that the seeds have been soaked in fertilizer and grow, and the kid thinks that people will get sick, and the crops will also get sick, and the doctor will prescribe medicine to treat people, so is there anyone who prescribes medicine to treat crops?" There is always a first time for everything. ”
Wei Bo looked directly at Wang An: "Boy, those Confucian scholars don't like to hear what you say, they will say that it is the king's fault, and God has condemned the king." ”
"Isn't Confucianism just to be an official, Confucius traveled around the world to seek officials, Mencius lobbied the king to seek officials, but unfortunately those kings knew very well that it was the army that could keep them, and it was the army that could resist the Xiongnu. Can Confucianism defend the country? Can Confucianism feed the people? The Three Emperors and Five Emperors are remembered by the people, not because of what they said, but because of what they did. ”
After talking to Mr. Wei Da, Wang An felt very satisfied and felt a lot more relaxed. I can finally say my opinion, Confucianism in the Han Dynasty was not dominant, otherwise Dong Zhongshu would not have lived carefully.
Wang An happily returned to the study, but saw that Miss Xia and the eldest girl were in the study, and the eldest girl said: "Miss Xia has something to ask Langjun, in order to avoid suspicion, so I asked the maid to accompany her." Wang An nodded, and Miss Xia continued: "I am the king of the mountain in Wangwu Mountain, there are more than 200 people in the village, no matter whether I can enter the Cui family or not, the cottage is going to give up." But the uncles and brothers, sisters and sisters in the cottage can't bear to leave it alone. Lang Jun is an official, and he also needs some people under him. Miss Xia stopped and looked at Wang An, "I heard the eldest girl say that when the Yang bandits are seriously affected, I want to find a career for my subordinates." ”
"What do you mean by that?"
Miss Xia said: "When the Yang bandits are seriously affected, Lang Jun will definitely deal with them after taking office, can Lang Jun trust those Dangyang officials and soldiers?" If these officers and soldiers can do it, the bandits in Dangyang will not be extinguished for many years. The one who knows the bandits best is the bandits, and they have been in this village for decades, and they have been fighting with the nearby bandits for many years, so they can be described as experienced and will definitely be able to help Lang Jun. ”
"How do I know that they are truly obedient to me?"
Miss Xia said: "I am willing to take it with me, and I will give you those who are willing to eat official food, and I am not willing to go."
Wang An interjected: "Let's stay first, maybe we can use it in the future." Miss Xia nodded yes.
After sending Miss Xia away, Wang An realized that he had neglected a lot of things. According to Wang Mang, he is the head of the yang, but he doesn't know anything about the situation there; Yang Xiong is a native of Chengdu and likes to drink tea, but he has never seen the tea and tea sets of this era. The stepping stone is ready, but it still needs to be done. Failure, really failure, Wang An rubbed his forehead and said to the eldest girl: "Prepare pen and ink and write a letter to Li Tong and Li Jiyuan." "I hope Li Tong can prepare things in Chang'an.
Wei Bohui went to the residence and told the two juniors what Wang An said, and Wei Zhong listened: "It seems that this kid really doesn't like Confucianism, but now that scholars call themselves Confucian disciples, won't the world be in chaos in the future?" ”
Wei Bo said: "This kid said that Confucianism knows the most about current affairs, if the Huns win the world, there will also be Confucian students who will jump out to sing praises for the Huns, anyway, as long as they can be officials." ”
