Chapter 44: An Eventful Season (I)
Langya Academy was successfully opened, Liu Cun put down a heavy heart, the whole person felt much lighter, although he did not participate in any affairs of the academy, but he was awarded the title of "Famous Scholar of the World" presented by the Han Rulin, and quickly spread to all parts of the Han Dynasty, and the most basic purpose was finally achieved. =
As groups of scholars flocked to the caravan, news from all over the country continued to reach Liu Cun's ears, and Lu Pei, who was in charge of intelligence, also left the caravan that had been trained for more than half a year and returned to Liu Cun's side again.
Lu Pei, who was only eighteen years old, was originally from Yanzhou, and was a wanderer since he was sensible, and he was also one of the rangers who lived in a daze all over Xuzhou.
Rupe is seven feet five inches tall, and at first glance, his body is relatively thin and ordinary, and he belongs to the kind of person who will disappear if he is thrown into the pile.
Different from ordinary people, Lu Pei has two extra-long arms and a pair of dexterous hands trained from petty thieves, he has a natural vigilance to danger, and is good at seeking good fortune and avoiding harm, and knows who is really good to him, which is also the root of his hard work in Zhushan for a month, he was called by Liu Cun to talk alone for only two quarters of an hour, and then he was willing to kneel down to Liu Cun.
From Liu Cun, he felt the long-awaited trust in his heart, and from Sun Wan's motherly care, he found the family affection that he had never obtained, so Lu Pei, who had the worst cultural foundation, worked harder than any senior brother, cherished the hard-won opportunity more than any senior brother, and was also the disciple who made the most progress in all aspects and received the most praise from Liu Cun.
Lu Pei and Xu Sheng didn't know each other, so when they entered the study of Liu's Mansion in Fenghuanggang, they were stopped by Xu Sheng, who was on duty, and Lu Pei immediately stopped and explained very kindly: "Little brother Lu Pei, I was summoned by the master to report back." ”
Xu Sheng immediately opened his eyes wide, and looked up and down at Lu Pei, who was not amazing, but was praised the most by Qin Yi, the chief of the guard: "You are Lu Yupu?" Just rushed back from Liaodong? ”
Lu Pei nodded: "Brother must be Brother Wen Xiang." ”
Xu Sheng had a good impression of the amiable Lu Peiton, and took a step sideways to politely get out of the way: "My lord is writing, Brother Lu, please!" ”
"Brother Wen is polite, just call me Yupu in the future."
Lu Pei nodded and strode into the study, and saw that Liu Cun was still writing, so he quietly walked to the wall, lifted the exquisite porcelain pot on the low table, and went to the back room lightly, filled a pot of hot boiling water, and returned to the study to make Liu Cun a new cup of tea.
Liu put down the brush, took a sip of hot tea, pointed to the chair next to him and ordered: "Sit down, the newly made Nanmu chair, your master is not used to it, have you seen your master and wife?" ”
"I saw it, and I also saw the junior sister and the little junior brother who had just finished school, the little junior brother is so cute, pink, and strong." Rupe laughed.
Liu Cun grinned: "What did you see and hear all the way back?" ”
"It is rumored that Jing Zhao Yin Liu Tao couldn't take out 10 million money to buy his position, so he committed suicide in shame; After Cao Cao, the prime minister of Jinan, resigned and went into hiding, he appeared in Yecheng ten days ago, and he happened to pass by Yecheng, and listened to the locals talking about him visiting friends to relax, but Cui Lie, the handsome man of the Cui family in Zhuo County, was very powerful, and bargained with the emperor through **, cut off half of the emperor's offer, and finally paid 500 gold to become a big Situ, I heard that the emperor regretted that his intestines were cleared. Lu Pei's slightly ridiculous tone was like a storyteller, which made Liu Cun laugh.
Liu Cun smiled and then asked, "How is the business of the Gongsun family in Jizhou?" ”
Lu Pei then became very serious: "They are doing very well, the business is indeed to do the outside of the prairie, our Zhushan goods are very popular in Jizhou, the price is five times that of Xuzhou, and they are still sold out, and I am afraid that it will be even worse when they arrive in the prairie." In addition, the Gongsun family attaches great importance to the master's two suggestions, has gradually reduced the sale of iron to the grassland, and increased the amount of refined iron and pig iron supplied to us. ”
Liu Cun nodded: "I have already instructed Mr. Lu, now the land trade is quite peaceful, add some freight and ask the caravan of the Gongsun family to send it over, they will be willing, after these two thousand horses come back, let the horse farm pick two hundred horses first, and the rest will be distributed to the cavalry that is being formed, I have called your uncle back from Dongguan to train the army, as soon as he came back, he complained that there were not enough horses, and urged me to ask for horses all day long, just to satisfy him, saving him from looking at him all day long with a creditor's face and upset." ”
Lu Peile thought for a while and asked, "Master, are you going to Liaodong with the fleet this time?" ”
Liu Cun shook his head helplessly: "I can't go, now the saint has sent an angel again, asking me to send exquisite ceramics, Langya tribute wine and the four treasures of the study, I need to go to the royal city to discuss with the monarch, if Mr. Zizhong can't go to the royal city to meet me, I have to go to Xiapi." Lord Ziyang and a group of scholars from the academy asked to go to Liaodong with the fleet to open their eyes, and General Manager Lu was in charge, you Mu Heng and other sixteen people interned with the fleet this time, and originally wanted you to go to Liaodong again, considering that the surrounding situation is becoming more and more unstable, I had to transfer you back to form the 'Lingshan Battalion', the training camp at the northern foot of Lingshan has been built, and the fifty people selected from the army have been stationed for training, they are about eighteen years old, they are good, and most of them know some words, so they are waiting for you to take them. ”
Lu Pei immediately stood up: "Disciple, let's rush to Lingshan." ”
"Don't worry, I will accompany your wife to dinner tonight, she always misses you, makes you a dress, and says that she has fallen in love with the daughter of Mr. Meng Xuedu's family and wants to be a matchmaker for you, alas! She doesn't worry about you, she often complains that I am cruel, and she tortures you children who have not grown up, but she is anxious to arrange for your marriage. Liu Cun said with a smile.
Lu Pei's eyes were red: "Then go and talk to my wife." ”
"Go ahead."
Liu Cun sighed and continued to revise the military law regulations, secrecy regulations, and training plans of the "Lingshan Battalion", and the "Lingshan Battalion" was since separated from the caravan intelligence network in charge of Lu Jiu, and Liu Cun planned to train hard for another three years to expand the "Lingshan Battalion" into a military intelligence agency under his command, and become a sharp sword hidden in the darkness.
