Chapter 412: Deng Ai's Story
Liu Xin stayed in the living room for a while, and saw Su Jia walk in with a plainly dressed, but tall young man. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Liu Xin casually looked at this young man, that is, Deng Ai, his face is very good, he is a cultural person at first glance, but there are also some traces of wind and frost on his face, and Deng Ai's hands are also covered with calluses, it seems that just like Su Jia just said, Deng Ai has not had a good life in recent years because of his family's downfall, and if nothing else, Deng Ai often goes to the fields to farm in person.
Liu Xin nodded lightly, this Deng Ai's first impression on himself is still very good, at first glance he is a down-to-earth and hard-working young man, and he should also be good in terms of cultivation and knowledge, of course, the most important thing is that Liu Xin feels that Deng Ai should be able to be qualified for the position of captain of the agricultural school.
So, Deng Ai just walked into the living room under the leadership of Su Jia, Liu Xin stood up and said: "This is Deng Ai Deng Wenze, this king heard Mr. Su say that Brother Wen Ze wants to work for this king?" ”
Deng Ai saw that Liu Xin was so enthusiastic, and he didn't react for a while, but Deng Ai's good tutor made him come back to his senses immediately, nodded busily, and said a little respectfully: "Wen Ze has seen the prince, Mr. Su is right, although his family background is not obvious, but he has been familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics since he was a child, and he is proficient in all kinds of agricultural knowledge, and he thinks that he has also studied the marching formation, so he has the courage to recommend himself to the prince, hoping that the prince can allow him to serve under the prince!" ”
Deng Ai looked at Liu Xin a little nervously, and kept beating the drum in his heart, after all, for Deng Ai, Liu Xin's identity and status are completely incomparable to himself.
Deng Ai was born in a declining family, when Deng Ai was still very young, Deng Ai's father died of illness, and then there was a rebellion in the local area, Deng Ai's mother immediately decided, decided to pack up the soft, with a part of the people who were willing to follow him to leave to Luoyang, although Deng Ai's family has a connection with some of the big families in Luoyang City, but after all, Deng Ai's family has declined, and it can even be said that it has been broken, so those big families are symbolically given some consolation, And then even if it is to sever all contact between the two sides.
In desperation, Deng Ai's mother could only use the only money to buy a piece of land in the suburbs of Luoyang, and began to take in tenants to farm to support the family, because Deng Ai's mother is still talented in management, so Deng Ai's family is also stable in Luoyang, although life is a little unsatisfactory, but in general it is not bad, Deng Ai's mother still has spare money for Deng Ai to go to Yingchuan Academy to study.
That's right, Deng Ai was sent to Yingchuan Academy by his mother when he was a child, because Deng Ai's talent is good, so he was fortunate to meet Chen Shi who had not gone far away from Yizhou at that time, and Chen Shi was also very optimistic about Deng Ai's student, after all, Deng Ai's talent in learning is not the top batch, but Deng Ai can read books quietly, and work very hard to learn all aspects of knowledge, even if it is agricultural knowledge that has not been valued, Deng Ai has also studied hard, Therefore, Chen Shi was very optimistic about Deng Ai's future at that time, and gave Deng Ai a table in advance - Wen Ze.
It's a pity that Chen Shi later left Yingchuan Academy for some reasons (Deng Ai didn't know why Chen Shi was forced to leave Yingchuan, nor did he know that Chen Shi went to Yizhou), and as a student valued by Chen Shi, Deng Ai was also implicated to a certain extent, so he could only be forced to leave Yingchuan Academy and return to his home in Luoyang.
Deng Ai, who returned home, met a disabled veteran begging by chance, and Deng Ai, who was moved by compassion, took in the veteran, but he didn't expect the veteran to be a veteran captain, but unfortunately because he stood on the wrong team that year, he was kicked out of the army after being attacked and broke his leg, so he could only live on the street and live by begging.
In order to repay Deng Ai, this veteran taught Deng Ai some martial arts commonly used in the army, as well as some skills for marching and fighting and camping, so although Deng Ai's military knowledge is not as "academic" as Jiang Wei, he pays more attention to "actual combat".
However, in the past two years, due to various natural and man-made disasters, Deng Ai's harvest has become worse and worse, so he can only reduce manpower, and Deng Ai has also begun to personally go to the field to farm, so Deng Ai has also learned in farm work in the past two years.
In the past two days, Deng Ai heard the news that Liu Xin was named the king of Chengdu, and then learned that Liu Xin had acquired Chunyi Building, preparing to transform Chunyi Building into Yizhou Restaurant, and was buying ingredients from the surrounding areas of Luoyang, so Deng Ai immediately rushed to Luoyang City, came to Chunyi Building, and prepared to become a raw material supplier of Yizhou Restaurant, because this is a profitable business in Deng Ai's view.
As a result, when Deng Ai was looking for Liu Xin's spokesperson in Chunyi Building, that is, Su Jia, when Deng Ai had just reported his name and background, he found that Su Jia suddenly frowned and looked at himself thoughtfully, which made Deng Ai's heart a little worried and secretly said something bad, but before Deng Ai asked Su Jia why he was staring at him, he saw Su Jia suddenly nodded and began to ask about his experience over the years, and finally Su Jia directly invited him to join Liu Xin's team instead of Liu Xin.
This surprised Deng Ai, but also a little caught off guard, of course, Deng Ai was also a little happy, after all, Liu Xin is now hot in Luoyang City, many families are currying favor with Liu Xin, and many people say that Liu Xin is now soaring, can be compared with Yuan Feng, He Jin and others, plus Liu Xin is now not only the king of Chengdu, but also the history of Yizhou, which can be considered that Liu Xin is a feudal official, so if he can join Liu Xin's subordinates, it will definitely be a promising thing.
Therefore, Deng Ai agreed to Su Jia's suggestion without thinking about it, and then followed Su Jia out of Chunyi Tower, preparing to meet Liu Xin.
At this time, Deng Ai began to react, all this seems to be a little too smooth, but now, Deng Ai can only take one step at a time, after all, he can't retreat halfway and be a deserter, right?
So, Deng Ai followed Su Jia to Liu Xin's house, and when Su Jia went in to report the situation to Liu Xin, he let Deng Ai be at the door of the compound, and introduced Deng Ai to two new friends - Zhong Hui and Jiang Wei, and Su Jia also told Deng Ai and Zhong Hui and Jiang Wei that they would definitely become "good" friends.
This can be regarded as Su Jia's rare bad taste...
So, when Su Jia went to Liu Xin to report the situation, Deng Ai and Zhong Hui chatted with Jiang Wei, and I don't know why, Deng Ai and the three of them didn't talk a few words, they felt that there seemed to be an inexplicable connection between the three of them, and it could even be said that it was a kind of bond, Deng Ai and the three of them quickly chatted together and became familiar with each other.
Of course, Deng Ai was soon impressed by Jiang Wei and Zhong Hui's erudition and strong memory, as well as their ability to speak well, Deng Ai felt that Jiang Wei and Zhong Hui were his teachers, that is, the geniuses in Chen Shi's mouth.
However, before Deng Ai had any inferiority, he was praised by Jiang Wei for his erudition, after all, Jiang Wei and Zhong Hui did not know much about agricultural planting, and Jiang Wei and Zhong Hui did not look down on this knowledge, after all, Jiang Wei and Zhong Hui were both instilled by Liu Xin with the concept of "people take food as the sky", plus the black potatoes and purple potatoes that Liu Xin took out a few days ago, Zhong Hui and Jiang Wei both understood that Liu Xin now needs Deng Ai's agricultural talents very much.
Therefore, Zhong Hui also specially instructed Deng Ai to remember to point out his advantages in agriculture when introducing himself, so that Deng Ai would definitely be able to pass Liu Xin's next "interview".
After a series of conversations, the relationship between Deng Ai and Jiang Wei became better and better, and it can be said that they had a very happy conversation.
After all, the intelligence level of Deng Ai and the three of them is on the same line, and then plus the "bonds" of Deng Ai and the three of them in history, and the historical figures of the Three Kingdoms who were also called to this world in advance, so Deng Ai and the three of them are naturally very compatible.
Especially when Deng Ai and the three of them were talking about military issues, Deng Ai, a "practical combat school" who had studied with veterans for many years, naturally let Jiang Wei and Zhong Hui, who had studied through various military books, broaden their knowledge and be thoughtful.
After all, in the military aspect, the "academic school" and the "practical school" have their own strengths and weaknesses, and it is impossible to say who has more advantages than the other, so mutual integration is the king.
Therefore, Deng Ai and the three of them can be regarded as learning from each other and understanding each other, and Deng Ai and the three of them all feel that they have comprehended their military capabilities.
As for Yuan Shao, who had been observing Deng Ai and the three of them on the side, he couldn't help but complain at this time, bluntly saying that Deng Ai and the three of them were like each other at first sight, so why not learn to "Taoyuan Three Alliances" with Liu Xin and Cao Cao?
As a result, Yuan Shao's words were recognized by Deng Ai and the three of them, so Deng Ai and the three of them agreed to marry in Taoyuan tomorrow, and Yuan Shao was also happy to say that he would persuade Cao Cao to provide them with a venue.
Of course, if Liu Xin saw this scene, Liu Xin would definitely be unable to help complaining, after all, in Liu Xin's opinion, Deng Ai, Jiang Wei, and Zhong Hui can be described as "loving and killing each other" in history, first Zhong Hui and Deng Ai teamed up to get Jiang Wei, and then Jiang Wei separated Zhong Hui and Deng Ai, and joined forces with Zhong Hui to falsely accuse Deng Ai and put him in prison, and finally Deng Ai was also "buried" together because Jiang Wei and Zhong Hui failed in their rebellion.
Liu Xindu felt that if some rotten girls were allowed to look at the series of events of Deng Ai and the others, they would definitely be able to make up a million-word Tanmei novel, and then be "adapted" into a romance novel by some authors who don't want Bilian, maybe it could be adapted into a TV series, which is manually funny.
Getting back to the point, Deng Ai felt that even if Liu Xin refused to work for him today, it would be worth it for him to have two brothers, Jiang Wei and Zhong Hui.
Of course, Jiang Wei, as the first "old man" to follow Liu Xin, is still very optimistic about Deng Ai, a newcomer, and Jiang Wei also knows that Liu Xin is worried about the candidate for the position of captain of the agricultural school, after all, Jiang Wei is also Liu Xin's confidant, so Liu Xin has also discussed some things with Jiang Wei.
So under the guidance of Jiang Wei and Zhong Hui, Deng Ai was full of confidence at the beginning, but in the moment he faced Liu Xin, Deng Ai had to admit that he was a little cowardly.
The reason is very simple, Deng Ai has been photographed by Liu Xin's prestige, after all, Liu Xin is now one of the best existences in Luoyang, and Deng Ai feels that he is a child of a declining family when he says it is good, and if it is ugly, then Deng Ai is just a farmer now.
Therefore, when Deng Ai faced Liu Xin, he had a kind of unprovoked worry in his heart, or he was afraid, afraid that Liu Xin would not look down on his identity.
However, Liu Xin is not the kind of person who only values identity, but a person who is meritocracy, so Liu Xin doesn't care about Deng Ai's current identity, only Deng Ai's current ability.
Therefore, Liu Xin smiled again and said: "I see, then so be it, this king is about to return to Yizhou to take office, and this king also intends to set up such a position in Yizhou - Diannong School Captain, although this position belongs to the military position, but the main work is still in how to farm the land, so here involves a military system proposed by this king." ”
Speaking of this, Liu Xin roughly told Deng Ai about the general's tun system, and Deng Ai nodded again and again.
After Liu Xin introduced the military tun system, Deng Ai looked at Liu Xin with admiration, and said respectfully: "Sure enough, it is worthy of the prince, and he can think of such a perfect tuntian system. ”
Liu Xin looked at Deng Ai with some embarrassment, after all, this military system was the credit of the person in front of him, and he was the first to put forward it, which made Liu Xin have a feeling of "plagiarizing" the fruits of other people's labor.
However, Liu Xin can't tell the truth, this military system should have been proposed by Deng Ai decades later, it would be a bit ridiculous, so Liu Xin could only accept Deng Ai's praise with a cheeky face.
However, Liu Xin did not forget his original intention, so Liu Xin's face was straight, and he said: "Okay, since Wen Ze has also learned about the military tun system that this king is going to implement in Yizhou, then Wen Ze, do you have anything to say now, for example, Wen Ze, do you have any suggestions for this military tun system?" ”
Deng Ai knew that Liu Xin was testing himself, but because the military tun system was originally a very perfect system and was very in line with the current situation, Deng Ai really couldn't think of what else he could suggest about it, so Deng Ai also told the truth and said: "Lord Wang, please forgive the villain for being stupid, I really can't think of anything worth revising this military tun system." ”
