When a few friends walked back, Liu Kuo, Guan Ping, Judge, Zhang Bao and others obviously had different attitudes towards Liu Ji.

Although their relationship is still as good as before, it is obvious that these children seem to have regarded Liu Ji as a child, and they all ask him about how to explain to Shizun when they go back.

Liu Ji didn't feel any smug because of these things, but told a few children very calmly and kindly, and went home first, don't act rashly, and after he thought about it all night, he would inform the teacher about it in class next day.

Liu Ji was just very gentle, and told his friends about this matter in a consultative tone, who would have thought that he would immediately get their response, and no one raised objections, and they all went home according to Liu Ji's instructions.

It's surprisingly obedient.

Liu Ji returned to the mansion, hungry in his stomach, and was about to find a servant to ask for some preserved soup and fruit, and an entourage from the attached middle school came to see Liu Ji and said to him: "Shaojun, the general is looking for you." ”

"Where's my father?"

"Wait in the attic."

Liu Ji listened to the attendant's words and was very curious.

Liu Jian's attic is the place where he rests and calms his mind alone on weekdays, and when he goes up every day, he will let people remove the ladder and recuperate alone on it for one or two hours, even his mother rarely lets him go up.

Liu Ji, under the leadership of his attendants, went up to the attic, but saw that in the attic, there were several oil lamps, illuminating the inside, and in the attic, there were many wooden bookshelves, on which were the latest well-printed books.

As far as the eye can see, there are thousands of paper books.

Liu Jian sat at the table, saw Liu Ji coming, and scolded him.

There was a bowl of hot soup and a bowl of quinoa rice on the table.

"Hungry, eat."

"Thank you, father."

Liu Ji respectfully bowed to Liu Jian, then sat down opposite him and began to eat.

Although Liu Ji is young, he has a good upbringing, eats without saying a word, and has a straight back.

After eating, Liu Ji set the dishes and chopsticks in an orderly manner, and then bowed his hand to Liu Jian in an orderly manner.

"Father, the child has finished eating!"

"Have you ever played with a sword before?"

"My mother hired Yu Wei as my cavalry and archery master, and I have practiced wooden swords with Yu Shi in the past few months."

Liu Jian gently knocked on the table: "After just learning swordsmanship for a few months, do you have the ability to stab people with a sword?" What a bold strategy. ”

When Liu Ji heard Liu Jian say this, his body shook slightly, and he said nervously: "Does my father already know?" ”

"I just happen to know." Liu Jian said lightly: "After all, I am the general of Fuyuan in the four states of Hebei, and there is nothing to hide from me on the one-third of an acre of land in Yecheng, let's talk about it, what do you think?" Why do you want to assassinate the princes and kings' subordinates? ”

Liu Ji lowered his head, bit his lip, and said nothing.

"Why don't you speak?"

"My mother taught me to be honest, but I didn't want to lie to my father......"

"Do you not want to or don't dare?"

"The child doesn't want to!"

Liu Jian picked up the tea set on the table, blew the hot water, and then raised his head and drank it all.

"Some things, after all, need an end, as a man's husband, you are full of pride when you stab people, but in the face of your father, you dare not speak, if there is something today, why did you stab people in the first place?"

In the face of Liu Jian's inquiry, Liu Ji was not frightened or nervous, but he thought about it seriously, and then saluted: "What my father said is that the child knows that he is wrong, and I will tell my father the truth!" ”

"In fact, although the child is only seven years old, he is mostly trained and guided by his mother and uncle on weekdays, Weng Weng, but he still knows a lot about eunuchs......

"Hehe, Ah Weng, uncle, mother, teacher...... What do you tell about eunuchs on weekdays? ”

"The five candidates are chaotic, the party is in trouble, the king's festival is in trouble with the country, and the ten permanent servants bewitch the first emperor...... Therefore, today, the eunuch of the palace of the king insulted my friend's mother, even if I am only seven years old, I should also insult my friend's blood! ”

"You're not afraid of being infamous all over the world?"

Liu Ji said seriously: "According to the child's understanding, notoriety may not be ......."

"What do you mean?"

"A seven-year-old child, avenging his mother, assassinating the princes and princes of history and becoming famous all over the world, is not impossible...... Especially since the man is still a eunuch......"

Liu Jian sighed when he heard this.

"Good boy, at such a young age, you know what to do, and you have the wind of a father!"

Liu Ji seemed to see that Liu Jian's expression was a little helpless.

He blinked and asked, "Father, are you unhappy?" ”

Liu Jian shook his head: "No, I can't say I'm happy...... Alas, if you are an ordinary high-ranking family, or a scholar, even if you are the son of a family of military generals in border counties, your father must praise you three times for today's trip, and be proud of you, because what you do today is an act of hope...... It's just that you are the heir of the Liu family in Zhuo County, different from others, the heavy responsibility you have to bear is far from being comparable to ordinary families, wealthy families, and scholars. ”

Liu Ji blinked his eyes inexplicably, but he promised.

However, Liu Jian knew that although he was only promised, he didn't understand his deep meaning in his heart.

Liu Jian's ideal is to make the Han nation stand on top of the world through the identity of a traverser!

It's just that this kind of thing may not be done by one generation, it needs to be continued from generation to generation, and it needs successors to pass on this ideal.

Liu Jian can't see how far the sons and daughters of China can do thousands of years later, but he knows what he can do now, and at the same time, he also sees hope in Liu Ji.

The quality that Liu Ji has shown today is of great use.

It's just a pity that this kid is following Zheng Ci, Zheng Xuan, and the scholars in Yecheng, although these people are also well-intentioned, but judging from Liu Ji's simple words today, Liu Jian knows that this kid is a little inclined to those scholars who are hopeful.

It's not that it's not good to be a scholar who is good at raising hope, but for Liu Jian, he hopes that his son's horizons can be broadened and seen further.

Of course, these things are no wonder Zheng Ci, Zheng Xuan, Zheng Yi, Jiang Ji and others, they live in this era, and Zheng Xuan is a person who regards the scriptures as his life, and his children's words and deeds and values must also be deeply affected by it.

It is impossible to say that Liu Ji is not more influenced by them.

Moreover, Liu Jian has been fighting abroad all the year round, and it is impossible to always be by Liu Ji's side.

But Liu Jian didn't want his eldest son to be influenced by the ancients more than by him.

Especially when Liu Jian saw that this child carried the hope of the next generation, Liu Jian's expectations for him were even higher.

"Ji'er, from today onwards, every day after class, you come to my attic for an hour to eat and read with your father."

Liu Ji's eyes widened when he heard this.

This attic in the mansion belongs to Liu Jian's own secret base, and few people can get along with Liu Jian here, let alone spend a whole hour with Liu Jian here.

"Can the kid?"

"Wouldn't you like to be with your father?"

Liu Ji was stunned for a moment, and then grinned.

"Yes!"

……

……

Subsequently, Liu Jian took out a sample book from his bookshelf that Qingzhou Printing and Defense had just been printed in the factory, called "Atlas of the Northern Regions", which was a collection of geographical knowledge about the northern Han Dynasty compiled by Liu Jian to find people in the northern border counties to find Han people who had perennial contact with Xianbei, Xiongnu, Karasuma, etc., and at the same time to come and go between various ethnic groups, to provide past experience, and compile a collection of geographical knowledge about the north of the Han Dynasty.

This kind of book generally does not sell well in Han China, and it is normal that it will not sell at a good price.

But Liu Jian still went to print.

Books that do not sell well do not mean that they are not valuable, such volumes will have a profound impact on future generations, and to a certain extent, this kind of book that is worthless in the eyes of the scholars and the poor, as well as the general public, is actually the most valuable.

Liu Jian planned to set up libraries in each county and divide them into ranks.

Including state-level, county-level, county-level libraries, and the cost of maintaining the operation of the library is borne by the localities, and the books and volumes collected in the library list the evaluation scope and official evaluation indicators of the magistrates.

Moreover, it is not enough to just collect scriptures, including literary books, scientific and technological books, Mongolian books, books, and educational books, all of which have different requirements for the scale of collection according to different counties.

Every year, the supervision and inspection team of Yecheng will inspect and assess libraries in various places.

Among them, the classic books will also be rubbed and presented to Liu Jian's collection.

This "Atlas of the Northern Regions" is one of them.

Liu Ji looked at the book in his hand, very strange, and didn't understand why Liu Jian asked him to read this book.

Liu Jian explained: "If you want to achieve great things, it is useless to just blindly read the Bible and cultivate hope, you have to understand your enemies and opponents, you must understand those places that you have never wanted to involve, or even despise, and you must understand each other better than yourself, which is the first step to achieving great things." ”

Liu Ji is very obedient, very smart and sensible.

He nodded vigorously in understanding.

……

……

Half a month later, Yecheng ushered in a messenger.

It is the messenger of Xuzhou.

This envoy represents not Xuzhou's Thorn Shi Taoqian, but the Mi clan of the Donghai Wang clan.

It's Mi Fang.

The current Mi Fang does not have an official position, because Mi Zhu is an official position, so Mi Fang mainly assists his brother in the clan to manage the affairs of the clan.

And this time he came north to Yecheng, and it was also Mi Fang who sent Mi Fang to come under the pretext of doing business with the Hebei Business and Trade Association.

To be honest, there are too many wealthy people in the world who want to see Liu Jian, and if Liu Jian sees them one by one, he won't be busy at all.

The Mi family may be very powerful in the East China Sea, but in Hebei, in the Fuyuan General's Mansion...... They're just a piece of.

Therefore, Mi Fang, who has no official position, wants to see Liu Jian, and must find a side channel.

And this channel is the Zhen family's Zhen Yan.

The relationship between the Zhen family and Liu Jian is remarkable, and Zhen Yan has handled a lot of things for Liu Jian in the Hebei Commerce and Trade Association over the years.

So if Zhen Yan comes out, Liu Jian still has to give more or less this face.
