Wen Wen Peng is one of the subordinate officials at the central and local levels, mainly in charge of culture and education, and the promotion of Confucianism. During the Wei and Jin dynasties, literary flourishing was widespread, and many celebrities held this position, the most famous of which was Sima Yan's grandfather and the founder of the Jin Dynasty, Sima Yi. At the beginning, Cao Cao repeatedly thought of using Sima Yi, but Sima Yi just didn't agree. Later, Cao Cao gave Sima Yi one last chance to be the literary leader of his prime minister's mansion, and told his subordinates that if he disagreed, he would be killed immediately. Sima Yi had no choice but to do Cao Cao's literary peng. What Cao Cao didn't expect was that Sima Yi showed his talents from then on, rose all the way, and finally emptied the Cao family, laying the foundation for his descendants to replace the Cao family.

is also a literary peng, Shu Yan's is far worse than Sima Yi's, that is a subordinate of the prime minister who leans towards the government and the opposition, and this is just a subordinate official of the small county country Ruyin.

Shu Yan entered Ruyin City, and when he arrived at the back office, he first found his lower place, put his luggage and other dry items into the house, and hurriedly dug two pits in front of the window, planted the two flowers dug from the house, and watered them, and then went to work non-stop.

On the first day of taking office, Qiu Guoxiang called Shu Yan over and said to him: "Shu Wenxue, I have something to explain to you." ”

Shu Yan asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Qiu Guoxiang said: "Since the end of the Han Dynasty, because of the warlords' secession, decades of war, the Xuan order schools in various places have been abandoned and ruined. Nowadays, although the sea is unified, the world is peaceful, and all kinds of waste are waiting to be revived, but the people of the world are uneducated, there are few courtesies, and the road has been lost for a long time. Therefore, His Majesty now wants to rule the world with filial piety, expand Taixue, and promote Confucianism and Taoism, and all counties must rebuild the order of the Xuan Dynasty to educate the people. ”

Shu Yan said: "This is a good thing, although the counties in the world have been stable for a long time, but the schools are still dilapidated and have not been rebuilt in time. ”

Qiu Guoxiang sneered: "That being said, it is easy to learn from Jianzhen, but where does the money come from? Where can I find a teaching assistant? The imperial court just said that, that is, it did not give money, and let the counties settle it themselves. You also know that the world has only been peaceful for a few years? The common people have just settled down, and the treasury of which county is not empty. Don't look at our Ruyin climate and fertile land, but we are a small county after all. Although I have just had a little tax income in the past few years, there are too many places to use the money, and it is simply overstretched. ”

Shu Yan frowned and said, "If I can build a school, I'd rather donate my money." ”

Qiu Guoxiang smiled and said: "Shu Wenxue, you are too naïve, your Yulu is less than 100 stones a year, what is enough?" ”

"What then?"

"People always come up with solutions, in short, since you are my subordinate, you have to share my worries." Qiu Guoxiang paused, "It's not just to share my worries, the most important thing is to do something practical for the people of our Ruyin." ”

"What time limit does Assassin Shi Gong require?"

"That's not true, but although our Ruyin is a small country, I don't want to be left behind than other counties."

Shu Yan thought to himself: What a Qiu Shoutai, aren't you embarrassed for me! You nominally called me to be your literary leader, but in fact you gave me a big burden to pick. At that time, if this thing is done, you will have merit in front of the state assassin Shi Gong; If I can't do it, it's my fault, not only my reputation is ruined, but even filial piety is not guaranteed.

Shu Yan withdrew from the hall, returned to the back office, and first looked at the two flowers transplanted in front of his window. After a day of sunshine, the leaves of these two flowers evaporated a lot of water, and they were all drooping, looking listless. Fortunately, when I first dug the roots, I brought more soil, which was not too painful. He quickly poured water on them again, and they slowly came to their senses again.

After eating some food indiscriminately, Shu Yan lay on the bed and thought about Jian Zhenxue: Qiu Guoxiang doesn't give money, and I don't have any money, where can I find money...... I can't think of a way to do it. In the haze, I suddenly saw Zhixin appear in front of me and said to him: "The banquet of the general horn, smiling and smiling, swearing, not thinking about the opposite." Brother Yan, I have believed that I am your person since I was a child, and I will not succumb to the wealthy! ”

Shu Yan just wanted to speak, but when he was in a hurry, he woke up, but found that it was a dream. Shu Yan thought that it must be because he missed Zhixin too much during the day. 'Submit to the wealthy' - the wealthy, yes, the wealthy have money, why not ask those wealthy families, those wealthy families have money, as long as one family is willing to donate money, things will be easy to do.

The next day, Shu Yan went to the office early to paint. Qiu Guoxiang told him that he didn't have to take care of anything during this time, he was in charge of the reconstruction of Zhenxue, and as long as he ordered it every day in the future, he could move freely. He went out of the office and thought as he walked: If you want to talk about a wealthy family, I only know Shi De's family, and his family is also the biggest wealthy family in Ruyin, why don't I beg him to go? He made up his mind and walked in the direction of Shifu. Shu Yan is no stranger to the Shi family, and has been here more than once. His house is high and wide, the courtyard is wide and deep, and there is a lot of traffic in front of the door, and all kinds of people come in and out, in an endless stream. When I arrived at the door of Shi's house today, I found that his house was much more deserted than before, with two vermilion gates closed, and no carriages and horses in front of the door. Shu Yan wondered, he didn't dare to go up and knock on the door, and he was not willing to go back like this, so he stood under the valve reading pillar in front of the mansion and looked at the words on the pillar. Although Shu Yan knew that the Shi family was a gate lord clan before, he had never carefully read the content on the valve reading column, and when he took a closer look today, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised. It turned out that according to what was written on the valve reading pillar, the ancestors of the Shi family were very prominent, otherwise the Shi family would still be so glorious.

Shu Yan was admiring himself, and suddenly, the corner door by the gate opened, and a well-dressed little maid came out, holding a package in her hand. Immediately after, several family members drove over a carriage. The little maidservant threw the package into the carriage and was about to turn and go in. Shu Yan saw that he knew, and hurriedly shouted, "Sister Ayan, please stay." ”

Ah Yan heard someone calling herself, so she stopped, looked back, and knew that it was Shu Yan, she asked in surprise: "Yo, it turned out to be Shu Xiaolang, you-why are you dressed like this?" Ah Yan thought to herself: This poor boy has seen him many times before, although he looks talented, but he is really shabby in his dress, except for dressing a little more decently on the day of the Shangshi Festival, every time he sees him, he is always dressed as a farmer or woodcutter, why is he wearing an official uniform today?

"Sister Ayan, I'm now working as a literary student in our county mansion, so I have to wear an official uniform."

"Really? Congratulations! ”

"Where, where, it's not worth mentioning, it's just a small subordinate officer." After chatting for a while, Shu Yan was afraid that she would go in, so she hurriedly asked, "Sister, why is your house not as lively and deserted today as before?" ”

"Why, you don't know yet? The general of my family is now an official in the court, and he has long wanted to take the master mother and the young master to live in Beijing, but the master mother didn't want to go, so she had no choice but to put it on hold. On that Shangsi Festival three years ago, because of Han Zhixin's death, something happened to the young master, and then our family moved to Jingshi. Soon after, when the young master reached the age of eighteen, the head of the family sent him to study in the Jingshi Taixue School. The decent subordinates of the house also went to Jingshi, and only one of the cousins of the head of the house and some of the subordinates were left here to guard the old mansion. ”

"Oh, I see. Hey, no, since Shi Gongzi and they all went to Jingshi, why are you still here, sister? You are the first proud person around Shi Gongzi. ”

Ah Yan listened to Shu Yan's flattery, and was very useful, and said with a smile: "Of course, Luoyang where we went together, the young master, he naturally can't do without me, and he will take me wherever he goes." I happened to come back today to do some errands, and I was met by you. ”

"Is Shi Gongzi back too?"

"Also back. Are you looking for him? ”

"Hmm."

"Then you're in a hurry today, you're going to be a little late, and we're going to leave soon. What are you looking for the young master? ”

Shu Yan told Ayan about wanting to donate some money to build a school. After hearing this, Ah Yan agreed to go to the young master for him.

Shu Yan hid on the side of the gate. And in a moment, he heard someone in the porter's room.

"Shu Xiaolang has now done our Ruyin's literary work."

"Literature? Hmph, what's so great about a small county literature! ”

As soon as the words fell, the door of Shi's mansion opened, and a large group of people hugged Shi De and walked out. Shu Yan looked at it from afar, he hadn't seen him for a few years, Shi De was more chic than before, oily and powdery, supported by others, and did not stay for a moment, and got into the carriage directly. If it weren't for being in front of Shi's mansion, if he wasn't very familiar with Shi De's voice, Shu Yan would almost not recognize him.

"Let's go." Shi De urged the coachman.

Seeing that Shi De was leaving, Shu Yan hurriedly ran forward, stood outside the car and said to Shi De: "Shi Gongzi, please stay!" ”

The carriage did not move, and there was no speech in the carriage.

The other party did not respond to himself. Shu Yan knew that Shi De had always been so arrogant and rude, and he had no way to deal with him, so he then said: "Shi Gongzi, now that the imperial court has issued an order, all counties and counties in the world must establish a school of learning, so that the people can be taught etiquette and learn literature." Our Ruyin Mansion Treasury is tight, there is no money to run a school, and this task is very urgent, the Minister of State asked me to raise funds by myself, so I asked Shi Gongzi to donate generously. ”

"You have books to read, I have books to read, what else can I study!"

"You have books to read, and I also have books to read, that's right, but those Shu people can't afford to hire a gentleman at home, they don't have books to read!"

Shi De said contemptuously: "Hmph, do the people of the Hanmen Shu clan need to know etiquette and study?" What's the use of reading a book? ”

Shu Yan thought that the Shi family had always looked down on the poor family, but he didn't expect that after going to Luoyang now, not only did it not change, but it became even more intensified, so the atmosphere of the Jingshi can be seen.

"Shi Gongzi, you can't say that, people from poor families don't need to study? The reason why foreign countries regard us as a state of etiquette, a great country in the Celestial Empire, is because all the people in the world respect etiquette and religion, if only a few high-ranking officials and nobles know how to count etiquette, the majority of the people are stupid and stubborn, reckless people in the mountains, try to ask which state in the world can not do it? Also, which of your wealthy families is not from a poor family? Of the 3,000 disciples of Confucius, how many people from humble backgrounds are among the seventy-two sages? How do you say that it is useless for people from poor families to study......? ”

"Drive, go!" Said impatiently in the car.

The coachman shouted, and the carriage moved slowly. Shu Yan saw that he knew it and talked for a long time, but the other party was indifferent, and he was so angry that he stayed in place and couldn't speak. scolded in his heart: "The people of the wealthy are really unkind to the rich, have no sympathy, and are unreasonable!" ”

Shu Yan was scolding in his heart, and suddenly saw that the car had not gone far, and stopped there again, and when the curtain opened, a large bag of money was thrown out, and then he got up and drove away.
