However, it stands to reason that Liu Xin remembers that Ma Rong died of illness in 166 A.D. and died in his eighties, and Ma Riyan, who is now standing in front of Liu Xin, looks less than thirty years old, so this shows that the old man Ma Rong in this world has a son in his fifties.

Liu Xin touched his chin and fell into deep thought, this old man Ma Rong is really in good health. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo。。

Having said that, Liu Xin now knows Yuan Kui's plans, I'm afraid he wants to trade Ma Riyan as a bargaining chip for himself, after all, now that Ma Rong is dead, it is reasonable for Ma Riyan, as a brother-in-law, to follow his brother-in-law Yuan Kui.

Therefore, Liu Xin estimated that Yuan Kui would make up some nonsense to fool himself into accepting Ma Riyan's effectiveness.

Sure enough, Yuan Kui continued at this time: "Lord Wang, you should also know that the old man's father-in-law has passed away, so the old man's brother-in-law wants to inherit his father's name and become a new generation of Confucianism in the Han Dynasty, so he wants to go out to experience and accept some disciples to follow his father's example and become a Confucian master first. ”

Liu Xin smiled and nodded, because Liu Xin also knew that Ma Rong had a lot of disciples, and there were also many disciples who were still serving as high-ranking officials in the court, including Lu Zhi, and it was not an exaggeration to say that there were countless people who could have a relationship with Ma Rong among the historical figures of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Xin felt that if Yuan Kui was willing to introduce Ma Riyan to himself, it would be a good thing, after all, in this way, Liu Xin could effortlessly make friends with most of the historical figures of the Three Kingdoms.

Therefore, Liu Xin nodded with a smile and said, "Oh, this king naturally knows, but this king also has a question now, that is, Lord Yuan, you don't just want to introduce Mr. Ma to me today, right?" ”

Since Yuan Kui called Ma Riyan a Confucian teacher, Liu Xin simply called Ma Riyan a gentleman.

Yuan Kui knew that Liu Xin was hinting at what he was doing, so he stopped selling Guan Zi, and said with a smile: "Hehe, Lord Wang, you are joking, the old man not only wants to introduce Ma Riyan to the prince today, but also hopes that the prince can look at the face of the old man and the deceased Mr. Ma, and give Ma Riyan a chance, so that Ma Riyan can recruit apprentices in Yizhou and enlighten the people, after all, you should also know that Yizhou is located in a remote area, except for those children of big families, The local people are basically ignorant, especially some barbarians in Yizhou, and Ma Riyan is willing to go to Yizhou to assist the prince to enlighten the people, so that the people in Yizhou are no longer ignorant, so that the Yizhou area can develop rapidly. ”

Yuan Kui's words can be said to be deeply righteous, but Liu Xin is wary of Yuan Kui, after all, the education work is sloppy, because as Yuan Kui said, now the people in Yizhou are located in a remote area, and there is very little communication with the Central Plains, so the people are used to a relatively closed life, so in some aspects with outsiders are a little incompatible, if it is placed in the Central Plains people's statement, that is, the Shu people are ignorant.

Therefore, Liu Xin is also ready to educate the people of Yizhou and let them accept more modern knowledge and habits, after all, ignorance is not entirely a bad thing, because this means that Liu Xin can better and more conveniently change the world view and outlook on life of the people in Yizhou, so that he can better accept new things.

And Liu Xin knew that Yuan Kui's thoughts were also like this.

As Yuan Kui's brother-in-law, Ma Riyan is naturally on Yuan Kui's side, but the question also arises, will Ma Riyan adhere to the discipline of a scribe and not carry private work in his own education work, such as carrying out all kinds of propaganda for Yuan Kui or the Yuan family?

You must know that in this year, as long as you have read a book, you have the opportunity to accept the recruitment of local officials and become a local official, just like the county seat Li Xu that Liu Xin killed when he was in Chengdu.

Therefore, if Ma Riyan accepts apprentices to teach in Yizhou, then Ma Ripan's disciples should enter various places in Yizhou to hold various official positions according to their ability after completing their studies, and these disciples of Ma Riyan will become grassroots officials in Yizhou at that time.

Then when the time comes, if Ma Riyan entrains private goods and makes his disciples become officials of the Yuan family, these disciples of Ma Riyan may not listen to Liu Xin's advice, and maybe they will find an opportunity to come out and do things when the time comes, and Liu Xin's Yizhou is afraid that it will not be peaceful...

Therefore, Liu Xin had to consider this question, whether Ma Riyan wanted to send spies to his side to seize his management of grassroots officials in Yizhou.

You must know that there are too many ants and can bite the elephant to death, if the grassroots officials in the Yizhou area rebel against the Yuan family at that time, then it may put Liu Xin in an extremely disadvantageous position, especially when the Yuan family has not yet fallen, maybe the Yuan family will make some moths for themselves, such as jointly writing a letter to themselves to rebel in Yizhou or something...

After all, Liu Xin will definitely vigorously develop armaments in Yizhou in the next first grade, and if you really want to say it, it can be regarded as a rebellion...

However, there is only one year left.

After Liu Xin had asked Tang Zhou to return to Zhang Jiao's side, he immediately collected evidence of Zhang Jiao's possible rebellion, and when it was the beginning of spring next year, Tang Zhou would find a way to return to Luoyang, report directly to the government, and report Zhang Jiao's attempt to lead the Taiping Dao rebellion with his real name.

The reason why Liu Xin chose to expose Zhang Jiao's rebellion at the beginning of spring was to force Zhang Jiao to lead the Taiping Dao uprising while the believers of Taiping Dao had not yet started spring planting, so that the grain and grass of the Yellow Turban Rebel Army would be affected.

And it is impossible for a Confucian teacher like Ma Riyan to teach apprentices without a few years for students to become teachers, so Liu Xin does not think that Ma Riyan can teach a group of apprentices to be undercover agents before the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

Therefore, Liu Xin smiled, nodded, and said: "I see, then this king is respectful and obedient, I hope Mr. Ma can cooperate happily with this king, it just so happens that this king also wants to establish a school in Chengdu, Mr. Ma can just come to help this king." ”

After Liu Xin finished speaking, Ma Riyan also nodded happily and said: "Thank you for your love, I will definitely work hard to cultivate a group of suitable talents for you." ”

Liu Xin smiled and nodded, but secretly complained in his heart: "As long as Ma Riyan doesn't make a lot of undercover agents for me." ”

However, Liu Xin still recognizes Ma Riyan's ability very much, after all, as the son of the great Confucian Ma Rong, and he has inherited Ma Rong's knowledge completely, Liu Xin feels that the current Ma Riyan should be much higher than Yuan Kui in terms of knowledge, if he can go to Yizhou to teach with peace of mind, then Ma Riyan will definitely be able to cultivate a large number of talents for Liu Xin, but Liu Xin is also a little worried that Ma Riyan is a rotten Confucian, full of words, such a rotten Confucianism is not a person who is counted as a person with Liu Xin.

Therefore, Liu Xin decided to hand over this issue to Su Jia, after all, Su Jia must be stronger than Liu Xin in terms of knowing people, and it is a good choice for Su Jia to monitor Ma Riyan.

After discussing the time of going to Yizhou with Liu Xin, Ma Riyan decided to leave first, because according to Ma Riyan, he has to go home to pack his luggage now, because Ma Riyan has a large number of books and materials to sort out at home, and it is estimated that it will take five or six days to pack up, and then he can follow Liu Xin to Yizhou and Chengdu.

Of course, Ma Riyan, as Ma Rong's son, naturally belongs to the descendants of the Ma family, because Ma Riyan needs to follow Liu Xin to Yizhou Chengdu to teach, so Ma Riyan will also bring his own share of the family property to Yizhou Chengdu together, so what interests Liu Xin the most is a series of ancient books edited and sorted out by Ma Rong, these precious ancient books in history were lost in the war, and now they are still under Ma Ripan's hands, so Liu Xin is ready to ask Su Jia to go to Ma Riyan to borrow these books, Talking about scanning and sorting these books, after all, the books compiled by a great Confucian like Ma Rong also have great literary value.

On the other hand, Liu Xin, who accepted Ma Riyan to teach and educate people under his rule, naturally chose to agree to Yuan Kui's request, and when Liu Xin officially became the pastor of Yizhou, Liu Xin would write a fold and hand it to Emperor Ling of Han, recommending Yuan Kui to re-emerge as an official and serve as the pastor of Yuzhou.

Although Yuan Feng, who was sitting on the side, did not want to see such a result, Yuan Feng was helpless now, after all, Yuan Feng and Yuan Kui still needed to maintain a good brotherly relationship on the surface, so Yuan Feng was not good to stand up and dismantle Yuan Kui's platform now, so Yuan Feng could only watch his younger brother reach a cooperation with Liu Xin, and he also looked at himself with a smile, and the mockery in his eyes could not be concealed at all.

And although Yuan Feng is very angry now, he still needs to keep smiling, and by the way, he also congratulates his younger brother on being able to become an official again, which makes Yuan Feng feel very aggrieved...

However, Yuan Feng still prepared some back-hands that were not considered back-hands, that is, preparations specifically to prevent Yuan Kui from making a comeback, and Yuan Feng felt that it was time for him to go back and prepare to use these back-hands.

After all, Yuan Feng wanted Yuan Kui to know who had the final say in the Yuan family!

But what Yuan Feng didn't expect was that his son Yuan Shu was about to cheat his father again...

Yuan Kui, who was proud of the spring breeze, was not ready to stay here for a while longer, after all, Yuan Kui had to go back to make other arrangements, because with Liu Xin's support alone, it was not enough for Yuan Kui to re-emerge as an official and serve as the pastor of Yuzhou without pressure, so Yuan Kui had to make more preparations, especially to find a way to deal with his brother Yuan Feng's possible means.

So, Yuan Kui said goodbye to Liu Xin with a smile on his face, and Liu Xin didn't plan to be polite, so he sent Yuan Kui directly to the door.

Of course, it was impossible for Yuan Feng to continue to stay here, so Yuan Feng also left with Yuan Kui.

As soon as Liu Xin closed the door, Yuan Feng snorted coldly and said to his younger brother Yuan Kui: "Second brother, what a means, you actually pretended to avenge me as an elder brother, but in fact, you wanted to use Liu Xin's ability to make a comeback and become an official again, and also returned to Runan, the old land of our Yuan family, to be the pastor of Yuzhou, it is really calculating, no wonder you will bring Ma Riyan over today." ”

The reason why Yuan Kui was able to bring Ma Riyan to find Liu Xin was because Yuan Kui said that he wanted to bring his brother-in-law to see and understand, but Yuan Feng didn't think too much, so he agreed to Yuan Kui's request, after all, in Yuan Feng's opinion, Ma Riyan and his father Ma Rong are just a corrupt Confucian scribe who doesn't know how to be flexible, but he didn't expect Ma Riyan to become an important bargaining chip for Yuan Kui to persuade Liu Xin to help, which made Yuan Feng also very annoyed.

But how to say it, Ma Riyan is Ma Rong's son after all, and although Ma Rong has been dead for many years now, his influence in Dahan has not weakened because of this, because Ma Rong's students are still struggling in the officialdom, and together they are also a force that should not be underestimated.

Therefore, Yuan Feng wanted to retaliate against Ma Ripan, and then forced Ma Riyan to break the contract and no longer follow Liu Xin to teach and educate people in Chengdu, Yizhou, but Yuan Feng himself denied it, after all, if Yuan Feng dared to move Ma Ripan, it would be to offend Ma Rong's disciples and friends back then, even if he was the head of the Yuan family and one of the three princes of the Han Dynasty, Yuan Feng couldn't withstand such a counterattack, so Yuan Feng didn't dare to go to Ma Rong's trouble casually.

Therefore, Yuan Feng, who couldn't swallow this breath, naturally began to choose to scare his younger brother, Yuan Kui, who was the root of all evil.

And Yuan Kui is naturally not a soft persimmon, as soon as he came up, he was scolded by his brother Yuan Feng with a gun and a stick, naturally he was in a bad mood, so that Yuan Kui was still in a happy mood, and instantly became a little unhappy, so Yuan Kui also snorted coldly and said: "Oh, my dear brother, do I have to tell you in advance about everything I do now?" Can't I make my own decisions? And I'm not doing my last bit for the development of our Yuan family in Dahan, our Yuan family has transported too many things from Runan to Luoyang City in recent years, and our control over Runan has begun to decline, so I want to go back to Runan to serve as Yuzhou pastor and re-operate our Yuan family's industry in Runan, is there anything bad about this? ”

Yuan Kui's unbelievable words made Yuan Feng feel aggrieved, and he didn't know how to refute it for a while.

And Yuan Kui looked at his brother Yuan Feng's deflated expression, and his heart was secretly refreshed.
