Chapter 237: State and Family Affairs

Tai College has a huge garden, the garden is full of flowers all the year round, competing for beauty and purple and red, whenever tired students step into the central garden, facing the warm breeze in autumn, wandering in the flowers will temporarily forget the troubles in their hearts. ︽

Surrounding the large garden is a wide canal, which was originally planned to excavate a huge artificial lake, but the construction period was too tight to complete the set task, and after many modifications and cutting, it became a water channel.

The workmanship of the channel itself is very fine, it is by no means a simple digging deep ditch to tamp the land, the people have accumulated engineering scraps inside and outside Chang'an City in recent years, especially the large stones are all put into the bottom of the river, and then use the large stone roller to repeatedly compact the pad leveling, the amount of work is less than one-third of the traditional rammed earth, and the degree is faster and the effect is better.

The canal water is clear and transparent, from the natural river water pumped by the Wei River and the Feng River of the two of the eight rivers in Chang'an, bypassing the Taixue District to the northwest to build a ramp road directly to the main channel of the Feng River, half of the Taixue teaching area is in the range of the Weihe River channel delta, that piece happens to be the residential area of the students, leaning on the building to overlook the turbulent river in the north to converge and flow into the Wei River, quite a wonderful scenery.

The garden is connected by four wide stone bridges from east to west, north and south, and four main roads extend around the four functional areas of Taixue.

"The worker Lu Banshu can also be a hundred arts, the sharp arrows of the army and the heavy weapons of the country are all from the hands of hundreds of workers, the art of work can be fed and clothed, the art of middle work can inherit the skills, and the art of work can be passed down for centuries......"

Liu Che casually opened the opening preface of the "Engineering" reading book, and couldn't help but feel a slight shock in his heart halfway through reading, the preface made by Cao Shi himself was really different. A strong personal style and a distinctive point of view make the reader's eyes shine, and after reading the preface, they realize that industry is so important. Previous prejudices and discrimination were so naïve.

Wei Wan stood aside and watched cautiously, hoping to read the meaning of approval from the eyes of the Son of Heaven. Although Cao Shi proposed a package of basic frameworks, he had to personally supervise and urge him to do it when it came to the end.

For the compilation of textbooks, Wei Juan's head basically turned white, and he looked like a thin seventy old man. However, he has just turned 60 years old this year, and he has worked hard to create Taixue, and the preparatory organization for Taixue led by him has visited hundreds of thousands of people to collect a large amount of information and materials, and invited more than 1,000 people from dozens of industries to form a textbook compilation team. Thousands of minor repairs were made to finally settle on this first printing.

Liu Che did not understand the difficulty of compiling textbooks, especially the most basic "literature", "science", "agriculture", "engineering", "commerce", "theology", "law", "medicine", and "military science", and the basic tomes of six or seven hundred pages in one book. The content of the content is inevitably biased and incorrect, considering the urgency of teaching, I had to print the first edition, only through the guò Taixue lecturer teaching process problems. Then gradually summarize and summarize the solution as a manuscript for reprinting.

After reading the basic introduction of engineering for a while, Liu Che suddenly felt overwhelmed. Close your book and walk out onto the balcony to enjoy the view.

On a sunny afternoon, a gentle breeze blew into the third floor. Liu Che enjoyed the short period of comfort, and at this moment he was calm and thoughtless.

"I heard that the Faculty of Arts has a language major, specializing in the spoken language of Xiongnu, Yueshi, and Southwest Yi, and specially invited the marquis from Chang'an City to give lectures to the students.

"The Faculty of Arts and the Faculty of Science are strictly compiled, and many students sign up for the name of the two colleges, regardless of whether they are suitable for the two colleges, and the entrance examination in June this year has been strictly tested, and those who fail to pass one course are retaken, those who fail two courses are transferred to another department to restudy, and those who fail to pass three courses are persuaded to quit, and it took several twists and turns to twist the imbalance of the faculties back."

Liu Che didn't care, he didn't care how violent the turmoil was in his words, thousands of students were forced to transfer to the academy to redistribute their studies, Taixue adopted a semi-military management system, and the school rules were basically equivalent to the two armies of the north and south, but there were holidays and rests, and the management of students was slightly looser.

The idea of changing the distribution of faculties came from Cao Shi, and the original intention was to change the situation of the two academies of arts and sciences coming back, and the logic of being an official when studying is not right at all, and there are only three ways to elect officials according to the Han system.

"Ren Zi Order" stipulates that the official rank is more than 2,000 stone and has served for three years, regardless of the ability of his children, regardless of the quality of his children, they can obtain the qualification to appoint their children as officials, in addition to Ren Zi, sometimes they can also be appointed as grandchildren, nephews and other relatives, the number of Ren Zi is generally one or two, but there are also unrestricted, for example, Wan Shi Jun Shi Fen has two thousand stones for four sons, and the five fathers and sons have a total of 10,000 stones, so it is called Wan Shi Jun.

In the past, there were a large number of princes and military meritorious lords who controlled the government and basically monopolized the selection direction of Renzi, and in the past ten years, the power of the princes has declined significantly, and Renzi has gradually spread to the ordinary bureaucratic class.

The former is the selection system set by the founding of the country, and the latter is the new policy that was made today, the original intention is to break the monopoly of the government and select more fresh blood to enter the central government, and the side that breaks it knows needless to say that it must be the meritorious liehou group, and the liehou has acted as the fierce rival of the emperor Yan zhòng all the year round, and the direction of this suppression cannot run.

Cao Shi will never allow Taixue to become a bureaucratic selection field, which will only make the good Taixue become a miasma, and lose the original purpose of cultivating all kinds of professional talents, the two colleges of arts and sciences are each limited to 3ooo students, and the transfer of surplus students to other faculties can not only remove the chaff, but also provide enough students, anyway, he is only responsible for making suggestions, and the specific implementation is a matter of sacrificing wine and guarding. There is no need to worry about the Son of Heaven having an opinion.

Liu Che walked around Taixue, feeling both happy and disappointed.

Happily, everywhere I went, there was a thriving scene. The lecturers did their best to impart knowledge, and the students listened attentively without the slightest carelessness. The Son of Heaven is very pleased that the talents cultivated by Taixue do not belong to any of the filial piety, virtuous and upright, or Fengyin Renzi, the students are cleaner and purer, there is no dispute over academic ideas, and everyone's eyes are full of thirst for knowledge, which is very shocking.

Disappointing is that Taixue is spotless from top to bottom, and the students he has cultivated are only senior talents who specialize in the group art industry, and there is still a big gap between him and his ideal all-rounder, and he has not appeared for so long, even if any seedling has the natural characteristics of that person, the feeling of disappointment is like blowing out the wishing candle with his eyes closed. Unwrapping the birthday gift is now just a beautiful dress that I once liked, not the same as the luxury seven-day trip I was looking forward to.

Liu Che turned his head, Taizhong Doctor Sang Hongyang was guarding the door meticulously, this kid is fifteen years old this year, just like the age when he first saw that person, he was born in a well-known wealthy merchant family in Luoyang, he has an excellent talent for mental arithmetic, and his sensitivity to business can always allow the emperor to understand the quality of an economic strategy as quickly as possible, and every time he is sent to do things, he will always arrange a qiē in an orderly manner. It can be observed that he is trying to imitate that person, but unfortunately there are some things that cannot be imitated.

That person is the minister of the humerus of the Son of Heaven, Liu Che's brother-in-law, and the general of the chariot cavalry. Pingyang Hou Cao Shi.

"When did the gap begin?"

Liu Che was sometimes very confused, and he clearly remembered that the happy days of the monarch and the ministers were just around the corner, and it felt like a flash of divine effort. The relationship between the two suddenly became estranged, and the feeling last year was not so obvious. This year's feeling is very different, is it really the unfavorable changes brought about by the replacement of the three princes and nine kings to suppress the liehous?

The Son of Heaven really wanted to return a mistake to Tian Wei. At the beginning, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty trusted Zhou Yafu in every way, but in the end, suspicion and vigilance gradually changed the relationship between the two sides, and Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty unconsciously wanted to depose the Marquis of Tiao, and unconsciously wanted to kill the Marquis of the eyes.

So, Tiao Hou really died, and left that nursery rhyme after his death, Liu Che still remembers the last chapter of that nursery rhyme: "...... Good man, ask for the king! ”

Liu Che was unsettled.

He wondered if he was nervous, always unconsciously suspicious of the people around him, he felt that the liehou was plotting against him, felt that Dou Ying was suspicious, felt that Tian Wei was obedient on the surface and treacherous in his heart, and without the dedicated assistance of Cao Chang's side for two years, the Son of Heaven faced the penetration of various voices and influences in the court alone, soaked in the backwater of Chang'an for too long, and washed the simple young Son of Heaven into an emperor full of suspicion and contradictions.

"Repair the relationship?"

Liu Che's mind flashed with a thought that only lasted for a blink of an eye, he was no longer the little boy who apologized to his brother-in-law with a sad face, he was the emperor of the Ninety-Five, and the road to reconciliation was only Cao Shi's initiative to succumb, and there would never be a second way to choose.

But to his disappointment, Cao Shi neither complained nor was dissatisfied, as if he was a nobody, he was at ease in front of the general, Cao Shi's silence made the Son of Heaven very disappointed, and at the same time confirmed the fact that the relationship between the two sides could not be reconciled as before.

"Your haughty head hasn't really been lowered, has you?"

Twenty miles away, in the eastern suburbs of Chang'an, Pingyang Houfu.

The family of five went out on an outing, and after a long retreat, they sailed into the southern wilderness, where the jungle was lush adjacent to the Nanshan Mountains.

Xiao Cao Xiang is about to turn one and a half years old, with the special spirit of tiger head, waving his chubby little hand and shouting "Daddy", every time he holds the child, Cao Shi's heart is about to melt.

"Yesterday, Chun Yu Sanniang gave Xiang'er a pulse check again, our Xiang'er is in good health, and she is faster than ordinary children, and she is more than two years old and more than two years old on top of her head." Liu Wan was very relieved to hold the child, her own kid has never been alive when she goes out, and she can always compete with her friends of the same age, and she has made the older child cry many times, and this kid is still stupidly waving his little hands and is very excited.

Li sent it to the Hou Mansion to see it a few times, and he was very happy when he saw Cao Xiang, and said in person: "This kid is born bold and powerful, and he is a great general when he grows up." ”

For this sentence, Liu Wan was angry, and Cao Shi recently quarreled awkwardly and was unhappy, Liu Wan thought that Cao Xiang could grow up peacefully, and be a peaceful prince, with the favor of the royal Son of Heaven, as long as she lived a long life, she would be blessed for a long time, and she was not willing to send her little baby to the battlefield to fight.

Cao Shi's disappearance for more than half a year hit her very hard, and she had to cry a few times almost every night, if it weren't for the child in her belly supporting her will, her body would have collapsed eight times.

Eat a trench and grow a wisdom, now she is very afraid of war, she is afraid that her husband will go out to fight again, what if her husband bumps into it, what if she eats badly and lives well? What if you get injured and sick in battle? What if the battle is lost? What if I don't come back? There were some things she didn't dare to say, for fear that her husband would get angry and say what she was a woman said, and she understood that military affairs were not something that she, the eldest princess, could control.

Her husband went out to fight to contribute to the country, even if she had more dissatisfaction in her heart, she couldn't criticize it, but her son was different.

"I am Xiang'er's mother-in-law, Xiang'er is the meat that fell from my body, and eating my milk is my big one with a handful of and urine, I can't let Xiang'er go to the battlefield to take that big risk, and a hundred concubines depend on their husbands for other things, but Xiang'er's future way out must not depend on you." Liu Wan's willow eyebrows were upside down, like a tigress who only protects her cubs, Cao Xiang was hugged by her, waving her little arms stupidly and calling "Daddy", this kid doesn't know the severity of the situation.

Cao Shi said embarrassedly: "Hehe, I didn't say anything!" You see that our children are strong and strong, and sooner or later they will grow into a majestic figure as tall as me, can they not learn some martial arts for self-defense? In case I encounter a fight with my peers or something, I will not be bullied, he always has to learn my archery, and he also has to learn riding skills, and he must have basically what he should have. ”

"The concubine doesn't care, in short, you can't go to war."

"Okay, good, if you don't fight, you won't fight, I'm a father who works hard to finish all the fights I can, and let this kid sit back and enjoy his success!"

Liu Wan suddenly smiled: "Well, the gentleman loves to listen to this, the gentleman is so powerful, he doesn't need our Xiang'er to take risks." ”

Wei Junru hugged her daughter Cao Yan and giggled, the youngest daughter was not yet half a year old, sleeping quietly in the quilt, she had just been breastfed half an hour ago, following Liu Wan's breastfeeding habits, Cao Jin ate Wei Junru's milk.

Under the protection of hundreds of guards, a few families went to Nanshan in a carriage to talk and laugh, where there is a bee farm belonging to Pingyang Houfu, natural honey and rare royal jelly are nourishing holy products, and it is the only high-grade condiment that sweetens in Han land, sweet honey is the favorite of Liu Wan and Wei Junru, and it is also the favorite of high-ranking officials and ladies in Chang'an City, and the favorite of everyone's ladies.

"Look, Xiang'er, the bees there are back in the hive."

Xiao Cao Xiang stared at the bee with wide eyes, he didn't know what a bee was, but he knew that there was sweet food in the big wooden box, and Cao Xiang's saliva flowed down when he thought of the delicious one: "Mom, Mom, that sweet, I want it!" ”

"Gluttonous boy, be careful to eat the little fat man." Xiao Cao Xiang's face was rubbed back and forth by his father.

Liu Wan took away her husband's hand, glanced at him and said to her son, "Baby Xiang'er, do you want to eat that sweet?" My mother will send someone to pick it for you to taste, remember that you can only taste a little, and no matter how much your mother will be angry! ”

Cao Shi lay on his back, hugged Liu Wan's shoulders and said with a smile: "You are also in good health, why don't we have another baby?" ”

Liu Wan rolled her eyes: "I want you to raise it again!" I don't even know if we're raising a little baby! I'm not in the mood for the time being, I'll talk about it when I pull this kid up. ”

"That's okay, in three years, when the child grows up, let's have another child, and we need a few more if the body of the gentleman and the child is well cultivated."

"The concubine listens to the gentleman's orders."

Liu Wan didn't look back, hugging Xiao Cao Xiang and feeling sweet in her heart. (Want to know more exciting news about "The Great Han Liehou"?)
