The thunder is loud and the rain is small.

Hold it high and put it down gently.

You can't make people go crazy on the spot, you can't be irritable like thunder, and you can't make people completely relaxed, like a powerful villain, kicking your nose and trying to ride your face.

This is Yang Chuan's favorite way to deal with people.

Well, it's almost like stir-frying with a spoon, watching a fire dragon crackle and burn, the sound is amazing, in fact, the meat, vegetables, eggs and so on in the pot, under that slight topsy, just form a condensed but not scattered, fierce but not chaotic appearance.

A good cook also has to take into account different ingredients and need different heats.

Treat the scholars of the Han Empire, you can't start too lightly, let those two balls think you are weak and angry, and ensure that someone will climb up the pole and directly give you a face output;

At the same time, the start should not be too heavy.

Poke it down, let those guys hurt into the bone marrow and forget it for life, generally you can't kill it directly, then if you fry a dish, you will definitely be scolded.

In addition, Yang Chuan always remembered a sentence, and he didn't know who said it, anyway, he felt that it made a little sense, so he simply came to half-believe.

Ominous Killer......

……

"Dong Gong, when the Japanese Hou once asked you, whether you sign or not, whether you draw or not, what's the matter, why is it that Ben Hou is still to blame today?"

In the face of Dong Zhongshu's crazy output, Yang Chuan was not afraid of dead pigs with boiling water, and directly began to rot: "Say, what do you want to do?" ”

Dong Zhongshu's beard was open, his two eyes were as wide as copper bells, and half of his face was gray and his beard was more and more chaotic: "Yang Chuan, you would rather let those bullshit little scholars stay in Shuofang County, give them a fortune, and let them become teachers, but you abandon my Dong Zhongshu and more than 100 disciples?"

Come on, come on, let's talk about it today. ”

Yang Chuan opened one eye and looked at Dong Zhongshu: "Ben Hou asked you if you want to sign and draw a charge, you yourself refused, and now you regret it?" ”

Dong Zhong snorted and scolded: "You obviously set a trap, and even coaxed and deceived those people to sign and draw a mortgage, and if you sell the rest of your life to you Yang Chuan; Do you think the old man can't see it? ”

Yang Chuan was also a little annoyed, turned over and sat up: "You accuse me of Yang Chuan being a big liar for a while, coaxing those people to sign a deed of sale, and then feeling unfair to you Dong Zhongshu, scolding and begging to sign a letter and draw a pledge, I just want to ask, what do you want to do?" ”

Dong Zhongshu sighed and said: "The old man wants to stay in Shuofang County for a period of time and help you be a teacher for a year and a half, but he doesn't want to be tricked into it by your paper deed and sell you the rest of his life." ”

In other words, you want to take advantage of it, but you don't want to be responsible?

Yang Chuan couldn't help but laugh.

"You scholars, why are you so stinky?" Yang Chuan scolded with a smile and lay down again, "I want to be a kiln sister for a period of time and earn a lot of money, but at the same time, I don't want to ruin my reputation, and I want others to set up a memorial arch for you?" ”

"Dong Zhongshu, just tell me, why are all the good things in the world for you to take advantage of, and there is nothing else to do?"

Dong Zhongshu stiffened his neck and began to sprinkle directly: "No matter, the old man just wants to stay for a while, and he still doesn't sign your deed of sale!" ”

Yang Chuan said lightly: "Get out." ”

Dong Zhongshu was furious, suddenly stood up, and pointed at Yang Chuan's nose: "Okay, you dare to scold me, right?" I'll let you scold enough! ”

The old thief shook his clothes, stood with his hands in his hands, and said, "Okay, this time the old man is ready, please teach Changning Hou a lesson and insult ......"

Yang Chuan was stunned, and couldn't help moaning: "Dong Zhongshu, why are you more shameless than Benhou?" ”

Dong Zhongshu smiled and said indifferently: "As long as you can help the old man print books, even if you want to punch and kick a few times, don't worry, the old man is not only thick-skinned, but also thick-skinned and thick-skinned, and your Yang Chuan's body bones can't break the old man at all." ”

Yang Chuan scolded with a bitter face: "I, Yang Chuan, know you Dong Zhongshu, it's like you've been bleeding for eight lifetimes, you said that you, the government and the opposition, even the emperor saw you Dong Zhongshu had to be downgraded to greet him, and he enjoyed the courtesy of the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, why bother with you jumping up and down!" ”

Dong Zhongshu sat down and said without changing his face: "History will eventually give the old man a fair statement, the Han Dynasty needs my Dong Zhongshu's exclusive Confucianism, and finally achieve great unification."

Yang Chuan, just wait and see, one day, my Confucian disciples will take control of the government and formulate some etiquette, etiquette and code of conduct, so that the whole world will return to the heart......"

Yang Chuan shook his head directly: "I don't read much, so I can't understand." ”

Dong Zhongshu turned his head, stared at it very seriously, and said word by word: "What the old man wants, it's a rule!" ”

Yang Chuan smiled and didn't say a word.

To reason with Dong Zhongshu, it is better to go out, find a stubborn stone on the side of the road, and talk to it about etiquette, etiquette, guidelines and rules.

The Han Empire needs a unified idea, which is also a historical necessity, but Yang Chuan stubbornly believes that Dong Zhongshu is not qualified enough, this person is frank on the surface, but in fact he is black-hearted, once he takes power, there is absolutely no one else's way to live.

In other words, Dong Zhongshu's books are well read, and he can be called the first person in the Han Empire.

However, he is not yet a saint.

Even, it is not as good as Mencius and Xunzi, and some of the great scholars of later generations known to Yang Chuan, such as Zhang Hengqu and Wang Yangming, are also quite inferior.

Of course, Yang Chuan is just a cook, and many ideas are just self-righteous feelings, thoughts, and estimates, and he can't do it accurately.

But he always felt that in Dong Zhongshu, what Confucius talked about about forgiveness, benevolence, mercy and so on, was relatively lacking......

……

Dong Zhongshu still stayed in Shuofang City after all, without him, just to rub his books.

On that day, Yang Chuan was fooled, and even coaxed and deceived more than 200 scholars to sign and draw the post, and directly asked Yu Linjun to escort him to a rather spacious compound.

Early the next morning, the group of students realized that something was wrong.

Because, Shuofang County Supervisor Shi Zhang Tang, County Cheng Dongfang Shuo, and Du Lieutenant Sima Qian, led a group of subordinate officials, brought a batch of black official uniforms, black gauze crown belts and belts inlaid with jade, and rushed in, and ordered a group of scholars to change into official uniforms, official hats and official boots.

This commotion directly blinded a group of readers.

This is、Directly an official?

Some scholars are secretly happy, you know, many of them, even if they are very good at learning, are only a scholar, and it is not easy to get an official body; This is also the fundamental reason why they can be driven by those powerful families at will, which is nothing more than seeking an official.

Of course, they are still more confused and confused in their hearts.

Everyone came to Shuofang County to make trouble, even if they couldn't plot to seize Yang's papermaking and rubbing, and find a way to bring down the Yang Chuan thief, this is the right thing, right?

Why did you just become someone else's subordinate in a daze?

The scholars came forward to inquire one after another, but were told by Zhang Tang, who had a cold face, that these people had already signed a 'contract of sale' with Yang Chuan, the Marquis of Changning, and were willing to stay in Shuofang County to teach and educate people for ten years......

"You're selling yourself?"

"What about Yang Chuan? Where is the thief now? ”

"Liars, all liars, no, the old man wants to write to the court and impeach Yang Chuan for being a thief and kidnapping!"

"Impeach Yang Chuan! Impeach Yang Chuan! ”

The readers made noise, and the scene was a little out of control for a while.

The toughness of the scholars comes largely from the fact that there are people above them; And some scholars, who have a big family and a big business, have quite some connections in the court, and belong to people from top to bottom.

Therefore, the scholars of the Han Empire are actually very difficult to mess with.

Especially if you come to Shuofang County to make trouble this time, if you take out any of them, you may be the kind of 'scholar' second only to Dong Zhongshu, which is extremely difficult.

Zhang Tang took a step forward with a cold face, and took out a booklet with an expressionless face: "In black and white, there are signatures and drawings of all of you, notaries, and the seal and signature of the Taishou of Shuofang County, don't you recognize it?" ”

Readers flocked to the booklet.

As soon as Zhang Tang heard the order, hundreds of county soldiers rushed in, one by one like wolves and tigers, staring at the scholars in the field with faint eyes.

"You are all scholars, if you have any grievances, you can look for me at any time, and absolutely enforce the law impartially; Of course, you can also write to the imperial court and the emperor, and the imperial palace should send me Zhang Tang to try this case and give you a satisfactory answer. ”

After Zhang Tang finished saying these words, he waved his hand to those county soldiers: "These people are all teachers hired by the Marquis of Changning, and their status is noble, and they will be rude in the future." ”

"Of course, within the ten years of the contract period, if these people dare to leave Shuofang County for half a step, they will be killed!"

After Zhang Tang said these words, he turned around and left, ignoring the cursing behind him.

Call.

"No, the old man wants to write to the emperor and report what happened to Shuofang County this time!"

"Yes, yes, yes, write to the court!"

"If you can find a relationship and find a way, hurry up and think of a way, just sell yourself to Shuofang County like this for ten years, and the little thief in Yangchuan has lost his conscience ......"

The readers scolded for an hour or two, and finally slowly stopped.

To be honest, everyone was hungry and thirsty, and their throats were about to smoke, so they couldn't stop cursing, so they gradually stopped scolding.

At this time, Sima Qian and Dongfang Shuo, who were quietly hiding aside to enjoy the cool and drink tea, finally appeared.

Dongfang Shuo greeted with a smile: "Come on, first clean the courtyard for all the scripture masters and grandmasters, clean up, and start cooking." ”

Sima Qian was also kind, and kept greeting those scholars, shushing and asking for warmth: "Who are you, Mr. Wen, you are old, you live in the upper room of Jiazi No. 1, and then let the county soldiers come over to pick you up clearly, you need pen, ink, paper, inkstone or something, just open your mouth." ”

The two sang and harmonized, soothing the wounded hearts of the readers, but in the end there was no trouble.

That night, a group of scholars discussed and wrote letters to the nobles of the imperial court and Chang'an City, denouncing Yang Chuan for being cruel and murderous, greedy for money and lustful, inferior in character, and abducted and deceitful...... And so on and so forth.

These people also wrote an impeachment document to the emperor, and reluctantly bit one of their thumbs, and pressed their own bloody handprints on that 'Chen Qing Table', thinking that they could bring down Yang Chuan at one time.

Unexpectedly.

Early the next morning, when they were led to their respective study rooms in the school, and looked at the room full of thread-bound books, they all regretted it a little, and began to hesitate whether to send out the impeachment papers they had written last night; Then, when each of them filled out a form, they could choose three books by themselves, and the Taishou Mansion could help them print them for free;

What's even more excessive, but Yang Chuan not only settled their ten-year fortune at one time, but also gave each of them an additional three heavy and golden horseshoe gold, and allocated 500 acres of high-quality water to each of them......

Well, lie flat.

The little thief Yang Chuan gave too much!

As a result, Dong Zhongshu regretted it, and chased after Yang Chuan to promise to stay, but he was unwilling to sign the 'deed of selling himself' who had been teaching in Shuofang County for ten years......

……

After some trouble, the problem of vacant teachers in Shuofang County School was temporarily solved.

Yang Chuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Why are you so tired of dealing with these readers?

Not much, compared to those old thieves in the court, the scholars of the Han Empire are generally relatively honest and honest, as long as you give enough, they will soon lie flat.

Only Dong Zhongshu!

That's it, with the old thief's usual practice, even if he foolishly asked him to sign a 'deed of sale', he directly came to deny it, and Yang Chuan really couldn't do anything about this old thief.

Then let him jump first, and wait for an opportune opportunity, and then reason with the old thief......

Next, there is Shuofang City and the medical halls in the ten counties under its rule, which are almost all built now, but because there are not enough doctors, they are wasted.

Education and medical care are equally important, and Yang Chuan doesn't want Shuofang County under his rule to wipe out all his efforts after a plague.

'Where are you going to kidnap a group of healers?' ’

'Those doctors in Chang'an City will definitely not come, and even if they come, they are all uncles, looking at people with their nostrils, so it is better not to. ’

'It's a pity that I'm just a cook, and I don't know much about pharmacology, medicinal properties and the dialectic of yin and yang......

Just when Yang Chuan was worried about the affairs of the medical hall, someone from Luding City came.

I haven't seen it for nearly a year, Ah Shi, Ah Tu, Ah Tie and other half-sized children, who are nearly a foot tall, and now they are almost as tall as Yang Chuan.

Seeing these boys, Yang Chuan's mood suddenly became very good, and he cooked a few specialty dishes for these guys, but it was nothing more than fried lamb with green onions, spicy lamb trotters, hand-grabbed lamb ribs, braised pork ribs, chicken stewed mushrooms, etc., plus a few plates of cold vegetables, but these boys' favorite cold-cut chicken gizzards, cold salad tripe shreds, etc.

As for the small wild vegetables, they are naturally dominated by dandelions, gray cabbage, bitter herbs and fern root powder.

Looking at Ah Shi, Ah Tu, Ah Tie and other teenagers gobbling up, the corners of Yang Chuan's eyes always contained a hint of a smile, and occasionally laughed and scolded: "Eat slowly, look at your eating appearance!" ”

He didn't ask about the situation in Luding City.

From the joyful faces of these teenagers, he knew that the development over there should be quite smooth.

"Childe, guess what, how many people does our Luding City have now?" Ah Shi asked with a grin.

"Twenty-five thousand?" Yang Chuan replied with some uncertainty.

Several teenagers laughed.

Ah Tie stretched out his hand, pinched his thumb, index finger, and middle finger together, and said with a smug smile: "Of the 70,000 people, more than 6,000 are young and middle-aged, and more than 60,000 are elderly, women and children. ”

Yang Chuan was taken aback: "Where are so many people?" ”

Luding City is a bitter cold land, although there are enough pastures, woodlands, and a huge North Sea for large-scale fishing and hunting......

Ah Tu, who had been silent, opened his mouth, and said angrily: "We exchanged porcelain for some old and weak women and children, and in addition, we also attacked King Ding Ling's royal tribe, killed King Ding Ling, and deceived seven or eight of their tribes to Luding City......"
