The army has been stationed in Anyi, and it has been more than a month in the blink of an eye.

In the past month or so, Liu Wei handed over the training of soldiers and horses, the takeover of urban defenses in various places, and the construction of villages and the distribution of land to Xu Shu, Zhao Yun and others, and his own family was left to rest.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the real summer is just around the corner.

Summer brings heat and dryness, but it can also bring vitality to the earth.

The flowers and plants glow with verdant greenery, and in the small pond dug by the backyard, the lotus flowers bloom with pink smiling faces, adding a bit of delicate charm to the green pond.

Liu Wei squatted on the edge of the pond, holding a handful of corn in his hand, watching a few fish frolic in the water.

Not far behind Liu Wei, two maids folded their hands in front of them, bowing their heads and waiting on the side. Only a few steps away from the maid, four soldiers pressed the hilt of their swords and couldn't stop their eyes in the backyard.

Twisting a handful of corn, Liu Wei threw the yellow-orange-orange fine millet grains into the water, and a group of fish churned and splashed, scrambling to eat the food he had just dropped.

"Your Highness!" was watching the fish snatching food and grabbing fun, and Xu Shu's voice came from behind Liu Wei.

Someone spoke by the pool, and the fish were startled, and swam to the bottom of the pond in all directions, and soon disappeared in front of Liu Wei's eyes.

"Scare the fish away!" Turning his head and glancing at Xu Shu behind him, Liu Wei stood up with a smile and said to him: "The military advisor has been working all day, how about sitting on the bank of this lotus pond with this king today and watching the fish play?" ”

"Your Highness is so Yaxing!" Xu Shu smiled, clasped his fists and bowed to Liu Wei, then walked up to Liu Wei and whispered to him: "The change of defense in the partial camp has been completed, the handover of the 50,000 Hedong Army is complete, and the soldiers and horses of the original Hedong Army have now arrived ten miles north of Anyi City!" ”

"So fast!" After listening to Xu Shu's words, Liu Wei turned his head to look at him and asked him, "What is the news from Dongjun?" ”

Liu Dai killed Qiao Mao, annexed the soldiers and horses of Dongjun, and assigned Wang Qiu as the Taishou of Dongjun. It's just that there is another matter at the moment, Your Highness can take the opportunity to send troops! Speaking of Dongjun, Xu Shu said to Liu Wei: "The Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army has already advanced north a few days ago and is heading towards Yanzhou, Liu Dai is also preparing for war at this time, and it will not be long before he will engage the Yellow Turban!" ”

"It's a great time to go east!" Liu Wei nodded, furrowed his brows slightly, as if he suddenly remembered something, and asked Xu Shu: "This king entrusted the military advisor to recruit talents, I don't know if there are great talents now?" ”

"There is one!" Xu Shu stretched out his hand and twisted his chin, and muttered for a moment before he said to Liu Wei: "This person is from the Plains clan, and he is quite famous. The "Parrot Fu" is the world's swan song. It's just that this person is arrogant, I'm afraid ......"

"There are many crazy people, if he is really capable, he is arrogant, what can he do?" Looking at Xu Shu, Liu Wei smiled slightly and said to him, "What is this person's surname?" and the commander of the army led the king to meet him. ”

"This person is Shandong Famous Scholar You Heng. I heard that His Royal Highness is recruiting, and I am here to serve! When answering Liu's argument, Xu Shu shook his head and said with a smile: "In terms of age, he is not as good as a weak crown, but in terms of talent, he can really be called a great talent." It's just that he is young and vigorous, and he speaks arrogantly, so he is afraid that he will offend the world's celebrities, so he has not placed the official! There is a debate in the clan today, and it is the way to govern the world! Your Highness can go and watch it first, and if His Highness thinks that this person is available, it is not too late to use it! ”

"Baume & Mercier is mostly tired of arrogance, let's go and see!" Liu Wei nodded and said to Xu Shu: "The military advisor can go to prepare first, don't say that this king is coming, this king will pretend to be a Confucian today, so that he can see through!" ”

"Your Highness said yes!" Xu Shu clasped his fists and arched at Liu Wei, and said to him: "Your Majesty, retire!" ”

Liu Wei nodded, and watched Xu Shu leave the backyard and leave the county government, and then shouted to the soldiers standing not far away: "Go and invite General Zhao!" ”

The newly built Zhaoxian Hall is located in the most prosperous street in Anyi City. Both sides of the street are full of liquor shops and teahouses, and many idlers in the city like to sit here. Walking down the street, you will be filled with the shouts of drunkards and the singing of singers from time to time in the wine shops.

Compared with the noisy wine shops, the guild hall with a taller door is much quieter, and it does not match the noise of this street, which seems to be extremely out of place!

Liu Wei, who was wearing a crimson deep coat, stood at the door of the hall, looked up at the three gilded characters on the door, and said to Zhao Yun, who was dressed in a royal blue dark coat beside him: "I don't know who the three words of this Zhaoxian Pavilion came from, but it is quite atmospheric!" ”

"This is written by the military advisor himself." Standing beside Liu Bian, Zhao Yun also looked up at the three big characters on the door, and said to Liu Bian: "But it's just a recruitment, it's a little girly!" ”

"Zilong is a military general, and he is arrogant, and he feels a little softer when he comes to this place where literati gather!" Liu Wei smiled, stretched out his hand to pull Zhao Yun's forearm, and said to him while dragging him inside: "Don't care about his civil and military affairs today, just follow this king into the house to watch the debate!" After writing for a while, this king asked the military advisor to build another martial arts hall, and I think Zilong will like it! ”

As soon as the two of them entered the gate of the Zhaoxian Pavilion, two soldiers guarding the gate stepped forward to stop them, and one of them clasped his fists and said to Liu Wei and Zhao Yun: "Two gentlemen, this is the place where His Highness recruits talents. Please write down the names and surnames of the two gentlemen, and we will wait for the placement of the position! ”

"Presumptuous!" As soon as the soldier's words fell, a soldier in deep clothes who followed Liu Wei and Zhao Yun stepped forward and glared at him, and shouted in a low voice: "Blind your dog's eyes, Your Highness is here, who dares to write down your name and surname?" ”

Hearing the words "His Highness is here", the two soldiers were taken aback, Xu Shu had already greeted them earlier, saying that Liu Wei was coming, but they could not have imagined that Liu Wei would wear a linen coat and only lead a few entourage.

"Knock to see ......" learned that it was Liu Wei standing in front of him, and the two soldiers were weak on their knees, and they hurriedly knelt down and bowed. But before they could finish speaking, Zhao Yun, who was beside Liu Wei, flashed, jumped in front of them, held their armpits one by one, and dragged them up.

Glancing at the two soldiers, Liu Wei didn't speak, and led a few soldiers in deep clothes to the main hall of the Zhaoxian Hall.

"Your Highness came lightly, but you don't want people to know, you two just don't know!" Liu Wei had already entered the main hall, and Zhao Yun glared at the two soldiers, and lowered his voice to order.

The two soldiers were already frightened and almost lost their souls, and after listening to Zhao Yun's orders, they just kept talking.

In the main hall of the Zhaoxian Pavilion, there are many low tables neatly arranged, and there are people sitting behind almost every low table.

Most of the people sitting in the hall were bookish, and a few of them even looked almost pedantic.

After entering the main hall, Liu Wei didn't look for a seat to sit down, but led Zhao Yun and the others to the corner of the wall, standing in the hall and looking at the two low tables on both sides of the top seat.

Behind the two low tables sat an old man and a young man.

The old man sitting behind the low table on the left hand side was about fifty or sixty years old, and his hair was a little gray. The silver and black goatee on his chin has a silver-gray hue, which makes it seem that his beard is not very clean.

And sitting behind the low table on the right hand was a boy who was at most eighteen or nineteen years old. The young man was dressed in dark blue clothes, his skin was fair, and even his fingers were as slender and white as a woman's. If he was holding a woman's hair in a bun, I'm afraid most people would think he was a woman.

"To govern the world, rule by virtue comes first!" As soon as the old man on the left spoke, Liu Wei knew that he must have read too many books from the Taoist school, so he only listened to him talk eloquently: "The Yellow Turban caused chaos in the world back then, which was caused by the lack of morality and politics and the people's lack of livelihood. If the king loves the people and educates with morality, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, why did the Yellow Turban Rebellion come about? ”

After listening to the old man's words, Liu Wei pursed his lips and whispered to Zhao Yun on the side: "If you hadn't come here, this king would really think that since Dong Zhongshu, this world would really depose a hundred schools and respect Confucianism." Now, it seems that this is not the case! ”

"His Highness doesn't seem to agree with his words." Looking at Liu Wei with a disdainful face, Zhao Yun whispered: "I also feel that his words seem to be full of loopholes, but I don't know what's wrong!" ”

"Governing the country by virtue, to put it bluntly, means that laws and regulations do not work, and laws are not followed." Liu Wei pursed his lips, lowered his voice and said to Zhao Yun: "Everything is about personal feelings, the world breaks the law, and you always have to find a reason to rule by virtue to excuse it, and in the final analysis, it is a fart theory that the world is both loved!" Governing the country with this theory will only lead to the loss of humanity in the end, and the relatives will not kiss, and the evil will run rampant! Scammers are everywhere! Villains are everywhere! ”

Speaking of this, Liu Wei snorted lightly and said: "Even if this person has the talent of heaven, this king will never use him!" I can't say that he will come up with a small country or something when he turns around! ”

Zhao Yun nodded, and when he looked at the old man, his eyes showed a trace of compassion.

It seems that he chose the wrong thing to learn, even if he learned to die of old age, it is impossible to be valued by the master, this old man came to Anyi this time, he must be disappointed.

"Haha As soon as the old man's words fell, the young man sitting on the right side raised his head and laughed a few times, and said to the old man with a look of disdain: "Since the beginning of Emperor Wu, Dong Zhongshu proposed to depose the Confucianism of the hundred schools of thought, and all the scholars in the world practiced Confucianism. ”

Turning his head to look at the old man on the left, a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of the young man's mouth, and he said to the old man: "The sky is round and the earth is square, and the heaven and earth are still round, how can the world be unruly?" National Demand Avenue! Jun's Avenue! What is the Avenue? Gang is always the way! ”

Looking at the young man who spoke, Liu Wei nodded slowly, with a bit of approval on his face. The Gangchang mentioned by young people is exactly the theory of the monarch standard put forward by Dong Zhongshu by combining Confucianism and Legalism.

Although this theory deprived the majority of people of free thought in the eyes of later generations, it was very suitable in the period of stability and development of feudal society in the late Han Dynasty.

In seizing Hedong, Liu Wei distributed the land, and did not engage in equal distribution. He ordered people to measure the land, claiming that the land belonged to the clan and the imperial court, and that the people only had the right to use the land, and that although the clan could not deprive it at will, it could transfer the land to other clans, which also retained the fundamental interests of the clan.

However, occupying Hedong, most of the original clans in Hedong have become rebellious ministers and thieves, and all these people's lands have been confiscated. As for those who take the initiative to work, their interests remain unchanged, and Xu Shu and others also have the right to control the land. It can be said that the people's livelihood changes that Liu Wei initiated in the Hedong area did not affect the interests of the family, so they could be implemented at a very fast speed.
