The land of Liaodong is a magical land.

In the turbulent era of the late Eastern Han Dynasty, it presented a rare wonder.

Well, if it weren't for some damn little butterfly, the scene here would indeed be a big man.

"The emperor was shocked, Qi was Xun, and they were separated from each other. To the service is Kun, the words are fulfilled, the war is dry, the labor is difficult, and the words are ......"

"The emperor was shocked, Qi was Xun, and they were separated from each other. To the service is Kun, the words are fulfilled, the war is dry, the labor is difficult, and the words are ......"

The sound of reading reverberates in this beautiful valley, and from time to time there are farmers who go out to work passing by, they will unconsciously light their steps, occasionally stop slightly, listen to a few words of reading, and then leave with a satisfied smile, and the steps of leaving seem to become lighter with this heartfelt smile.

This is a hilly area located in the southeast of Xiangping, the seat of Liaodong County, which was originally sparsely populated, and only in certain seasons will hunters or mountain people appear, looking for gifts from nature from the mountains.

However, with the continuous turmoil in the Central Plains, a large number of displaced people poured into Liaodong, a place just across the sea from Qingzhou, some of them were natives of Qingzhou, some were from Xuzhou or Yanzhou, some were dragging their families, and some were alone.

Although the imperial court continued to use various methods to control this large-scale population movement, one thing after another caused the ruling system of the imperial court to continue to collapse, and finally became a dead letter under the continuous impact of displaced people.

Perhaps the power of those wealthy families over their tenants far exceeds that of this country.

Some people go from the south to the cold north, and some people go from the north to the hot and humid south, perhaps in response to the classic old saying - the tree dies, the person moves, and only the flow can maintain enough vitality. It's not just about water.

By the way, as we all know, the countries of the Central Plains never seem to be very thirsty for the sea, and the earliest naval battle that broke out in the Central Plains Dynasty recognized in modern society was the Baicun River during the Tang Dynasty, or the Battle of Baijiang Estuary.

This was mainly due to the fact that, unlike the European Mediterranean, which had to rely on maritime trade due to its topography, the vast land hinterland of the Central Plains Dynasty made sea and land trade insignificant. It was only in the Southern Song Dynasty that the overland Silk Road passage was almost completely blocked, and the northern core area was completely lost, so it had to ask for help from the sea, which eventually became the beginning of large-scale ocean trade in the Central Plains Dynasty.

But even so, it cannot be said that the Central Plains Dynasty was completely devoid of maritime trade and maritime transportation.

In fact, according to modern research, the waterway route from the Jiaodong Peninsula to the Liaodong Peninsula did not appear even later than bypassing the Bohai Sea, and even compared to the seemingly endless ocean, the poor traffic conditions of the Liaodong Corridor are even more troublesome.

Therefore, from Huang County of Donglai County (which is the boundary of today's Penglai) to the southern tip of Liaodong County (which is the boundary of today's Dalian), it can be said that it has become a relatively mature route in the Han Dynasty and has become an important sea channel for communication between the Central Plains and Liaodong.

The caravans who traveled this route not only had a very detailed understanding of the sea conditions and climate in the area. It also uses the Shamen Islands, which are now known as the Miaodao Islands or the Long Island Islands, which are stored between this route, to ensure that sea vessels can reach the ports of Liaodong or Donglai accurately under normal circumstances.

It is worth mentioning that Changshan Island in the Salmon Islands is likely to be the legendary "Three Divine Mountains" in ancient China: Penglai, Yingzhou and Penglai Immortal Island in the abbot, and it is also the place where the Taoist Tongtian Sect Master, who once "worshiped the Buddhas and came to the court".

It needs to be reminded here that in today's China, if you talk about Changshan Island. It can be divided into four Changshan Islands, of which the north and south Changshan Islands belong to the jurisdiction of Yantai Changdao County. The large and small Changshan Islands are under the jurisdiction of Changhai County in Dalian, the core islands of the Changshan Islands, located in the northern waters of the Yellow Sea on the east side of the Liaodong Peninsula.

Changshan Island in the north and south is a national AA-level tourist attraction. The big and small Changshan Island is an AAA-level tourist attraction, and the scenery is great, but friends who want to travel must not be dazzled, and the result is different.

Because this sea route is not an extremely dangerous and unknown road, it is the case that great turmoil breaks out in the Central Plains. Countless people have traveled to Liaodong on the other side of the sea through this sea route, bringing a considerable number of people, technology, and naturally talents from all walks of life to Liaodong.

For this primitive hilly area, which was originally unpopular, it has also changed because of this wave of displaced people.

The first thing that triggered the change was just a seemingly ordinary person.

This is a very tall man, eight feet tall, he has a thick and supple long black straight beard, whether it is walking or talking, he looks extremely elegant, but the people who intersect with him do not feel that he has the feeling of being high and high that those families are used to, although he does not like to laugh very much, but he always gently curls the corners of his mouth when listening to others, leans forward slightly, and seems to be able to listen to the words of the person he talks to very patiently and carefully, and the more ordinary people are, This will soften your friendly smile and allow you to relax and open up your heart to talk to you.

It can be said that if it weren't for the villagers' pity on him, he might not even be able to get the money for the burial of his parents, but in addition to the money needed for the burial of his parents, he returned all the remaining wealth to the villagers, leaving their concern and slowly turning into a grateful heart in their hearts.

He was a learned scholar, and he followed the ways of the sages he had learned—instead of living in the most prosperous city in eastern Liaodong in the luxurious dwellings built by the ruling Gongsun clan, he came to this most primitive hill, opened the mountains and split the forests, and cultivated the land leisurely, and occasionally passed by the mountain people who could hear his own songs.

His voice was average. But he is very angry, and he sings with a different taste, which makes it easy for people to feel that the song is from his heart, expressing his satisfaction with this country life.

He is a learned man, which is very famous in his hometown of Qingzhou, but a teenager whose parents have died can take the initiative or travel to study all over the world. Or humble and courteous in his hometown, such a person is still eye-catching even in this era of chaos in the world, and his posture like the bright moon is sought after, and people regard him as the purest destination of the soul, as a rare pure land in this dirty era, even if the ambitious princes have to bow their heads in front of him.

As a result, people who were familiar with his homeland continued to come to him.

He doesn't take the initiative to help these people, but he doesn't drive them away, like a bystander. Quietly looked at these native villagers with similar accents, these fallen people who had to leave their homeland and come to a foreign land like him.

He was a bystander, but he was more than just a bystander.

In his spare time, he would read in the fields and under the shade of the trees the precious books he had brought from the south, which had been sponsored by his elders during his travels. Transcribed by yourself.

Every time I see these precious hand-copied books, I think of the experience of studying abroad. He may have experienced a lot of difficulties at the beginning, but now that he looks back, he not only feels that it is a rare memory, but also allows him to continue to survive in this strange land far from his homeland, instead of becoming the mistletoe he saw on the seaside that can only cling to other things.

The words on the books are all very neat official scripts, very beautiful fonts, round and square. It is neat and orderly, so that people can easily recognize the content of the book as soon as they see it. This beautiful calligraphy was still practiced when he was studying under Chen Yu, the head of the Chen family in Yingchuan, even if it was only a few words of guidance from this famous confucian, but he felt that he had benefited immensely.

He didn't do anything superfluous, but he behaved like a standard. Everyone who is new to this place must abide by the standard, everyone may not be able to be as calm and elegant as him, but for the villagers who originally defected here because of his existence, imitate him, learn from him, and then reach the pure land that their hearts pursue in this imitation and learning.

Although he is lonely overseas, his heart has been at peace in this long time.

The peach and plum are self-explanatory.

He never said anything, and he would patiently give answers when people asked, but he became the recognized master of the place, and the villagers gradually became humble and courteous under his example, and even if there was a dispute, when they came to his ordinary earthen house, they would die down, humbly give in to each other, and then return home with red faces, and never mention the dispute again.

It has gradually become a paradise in the hearts of the villagers living abroad.

And the mountain, which was originally a little lonely, has now become lively.

It's just that he knows that the human heart is complicated.

When there are few people, relying on one's own actions alone can influence them, so that they can respect the actions of their "forerunners" and follow suit. However, when there are more people gathered here, when the people who come to settle here are no longer just to pursue his good virtues, and most importantly, when the large number of villages has made it difficult for the new people to see his elegant and courteous daily behavior, the role of example becomes very limited.

Be prepared for danger in times of peace.

Although it seems that people still maintain respect for him and try to abide by certain rules that he did not set in words, such inaction will not be able to manage the growing population, and once the accumulated problems are detonated, the consequences will be unimaginable.

He was a visionary, just as he had chosen to leave his homeland when he noticed the instability of the situation in the Central Plains, and this time he also had a premonition of the coming crisis.

Practice what you preach.

This is the best way to sum up education, and in this word, words are put before example.

In fact, this is quite normal, because language was originally created to communicate information, and it is clear that language, which has been used by humans for thousands of years, is more conducive to communication between people, in fact, for the vast majority of people. Unless they can't communicate with words, they will try to use other methods, which shows the importance of language for communication.

Speaking guò language, he can communicate his thoughts and hopes to the villagers in the vicinity. He could likewise use words to spread the way of the saints among the villagers, and then use his own body to act as an aid. Let everyone know what the way of the sages is really like in their daily lives.

If there are words but no example, the content of the words has no carrier and cannot be convincing. And if there is no word and only rely on example, then in the end it can only be seen by a few people, and only a few people can experience that for this place that has become a lively settlement, it is no longer possible for everyone to understand the truth by example alone, and some people will even turn a blind eye to his daily behavior.

And this may also be the meaning of the order to save zài.

Tell everyone the right thing. Warning everyone not to do incorrect behavior, and then practicing the correct norms in his own body, he can stop or even punish when someone does wrong behavior.

Words and deeds, for this settlement, have reached the point of urgency.

Thus, the quietest and most noisy part of this lively settlement was established.

It was the only private school in the community, and he was the only teacher here.

In fact, there could have been more teachers in private schools. If he hadn't chosen to settle here.

Whether it's forward-looking, or just a helpless move. All in all, because of the extremely destructive Yellow Turban Rebellion, not to mention the powerful sons of the family who came to Liaodong, even if they were outstanding people in the Han family, as the Gongsun clan who was rooted here and had broken ambitions, they naturally would not let go of the opportunity to invite them - even if the hands that expanded to the Central Plains were blocked by Gongsun Zhan, and the other was repelled by Yuan Tan. But it's no problem to be a local emperor in Liaodong.

At least Buyeo and Goguryeo are not the opponents of the Gongsun clan at all.

However, Gongsun Clan's stronghold in Qingzhou was broken by Yuan Tan, and all the forces were expelled across the sea by Yuan Tan.

It is precisely because he knows this very well that Gongsun Du, who wants to be the "king of Liaodong", actively recruits those scholars from the Central Plains, hoping that they can be born in the Gongsun clan of Liaodong. Contribute to his overlord career.

Although they live in a foreign country, how can the separatist forces in the border areas be able to enter the eyes of those far-sighted scholars, who come to the border just to escape the war, as long as the situation in the Central Plains is stable, they will return to their hometowns.

It is precisely for this reason that many people did not choose to live in Xiangping, but came to the area of Yushi and Pingguo in the south.

He was the only one who didn't seem to have a strong desire to return to his hometown, but for most people, they still preferred to believe that it was due to Gongsun's imprisonment of him, and they were unwilling to take some despicable means to let such a good person go.

Regardless of the facts, unlike the vast majority of the Beidu Shi clan who lived in the south of Liaodong County, the place where he settled was located in the north of Liaodong County, not far from Xiangping, the seat of governance in Liaodong, and within a completely acceptable range for the Gongsun clan.

In his private school, children of school age can learn for free, even adults can stand by and listen at any time if they wish, and adults with understanding and wisdom can also study with children.

When he had some free time, he would also set up a large lecture hall in an open area to tell the villagers about the ways of the sages.

Or to be more precise, it's more like some of his insights into life. It is not extravagant to expect everyone to be as happy as he is, but from a certain point of view, such a code of conduct has evolved into a code of conduct that the settlement as a whole abides by.

There was no road on the earth, but when many people walked, it became a road.

There were no villages in the valley, but there were many people gathered here, and they became new villages under the norms.

The most conspicuous place in this village is the east end of the village. There is a large ancestral hall there, which is used as a place for teaching his students on weekdays, and as a place for various festivals when it is important.

Gradually, the villagers have become accustomed to the sound of reading almost every day, and they have gradually become accustomed to coming here from time to time, perhaps to see his calm and elegant posture as a teacher, or to listen to the simple and understandable truths he taught, or just to learn a few more words and show off to their neighbors while resting in the fields.

In order to keep his own children from delaying his lectures, many children had to walk more than ten miles of mountain roads from nearby villages before dawn to come here, and those villages also arose after he settled here, like the stars around the village where he was, not necessarily completely abiding by the rules of behavior he had set, but the villagers were quite harmonious with each other.

That's all the credit of his accumulated words and deeds.

Of course, it is also a kind of spontaneous protection of the villagers who they admire.

It can be said with certainty that he is a well-deserved leader of tens of thousands of people in more than ten villages within a radius of dozens of miles.

It looks like a kingdom of its own, but no one dares to invade it.

"Life is also what I want; Righteousness is also what I want. You can't have both, and you can't give up your life to take righteousness. ”

"Life is also what I want; Righteousness is also what I want. You can't have both, and you can't give up your life to take righteousness. ”

"Alright, that's it for this lesson."

Usually the study time is only half a day, in the afternoon the children also need to go back to help the family to do some work within their ability, the older children have even picked up bows and arrows, follow the elders of their father's or uncle's generation into the mountains to hunt, or go to the mountains and forests to collect some precious medicinal materials or mountain treasures, some of these things will become the food they rely on for survival, and most of the output will be sent to the most prosperous city in eastern Liaoning, and then exchanged for the necessary materials for them to continue to survive.

He, on the other hand, would use the time to manage the fields he had cultivated, or to meet with his friends who were still stranded in the north.

Of course, now that he had turned the fields into a kind of leisurely pleasure, the simple villagers did not know how to repay the man who not only provided them with a paradise-like place to live, but also gave their children a chance to change their fate.

Helping the venerable teacher manage his land became a spontaneous act of the villagers.

This spontaneous act of gratitude from the simple villager has been going on all the time for several years, and he always tells the villagers that he does not need such help at all, that he has not given much land to support himself, that he is not the kind of person who is insatiable, so he does not need the help of others, and even if he occasionally needs to work hard, he feels that only when he tastes the fruits of the harvest will he feel satisfied and happy.

It's a pity that in the face of these enthusiastic villagers, even he has to accept this kind of well-intentioned "corruption".

Oh, by the way, this man who has made this land change 5 so magically is called Guan Ning.

Guan Ning, Guan You'an, a native of Xuanxu County, Beihai County, is now living on the land opposite the sea in Liaodong.

He has experienced too much when he travels to study, and he doesn't have too much desire for this era, just like Hu Kongming who lives in Bingzhou, they don't pursue fame and fortune very much, even if fame and fortune take the initiative to come to the door, they often turn it off.

Their moral character is noble, although they were born in this filthy world, they can still preserve their noble hearts, when it is really "out of the mud without staining, clear ripples without demons", they can be called a rare conscience in this decadent era.

It is precisely because of this person's existence zài.

The southern Sanhan and Hao people are constantly harassing Lelang County, Goguryeo and Buyeo are encroaching on Xuansu County while constantly sharpening their knives against Liaodong, and the Karasuma people in Liaodong vassal countries in the west are also ready to move. But in such an environment, among the hills south of Xiangping, there is still a hidden peach blossom source, a real paradise. (To be continued......)
