"Did you hear that? Qingzhou Liu Yuanjun is coming to Xuzhou, and it is said that he will discuss with Tao Yuanjun to settle 100,000 hungry people in the East China Sea. ”

"Really? Tao Envoy Jun would actually settle the hungry? I remember that last time he drove the hungry people to Qingzhou. ”

"Shhhh Don't talk nonsense, Tao Envoy Jun drove away the Yellow Turban thieves. ”

"Nonsense! I can still tell the difference between the thieves and the hungry. ”

"In any case, it is also a benevolent act for Tao to make Jun Ken settle the hungry people in the East China Sea."

"If there is no appeal from Liu Yuanjun, how could Tao Yuanjun settle the hungry people in the East China Sea? Liu Yuanjun is going to Yangdu City, right? I'll have to see it with my own eyes. ”

"I heard that there is a shortage of talents in Qingzhou, and Liu Yuanjun has issued many orders to seek talents, and even opened an official school, only recruiting Junjie who is under the age of the crown to enroll, and the money and food subsidy of 600 stone per year is subsidized!"

"Six hundred stone a year? Really fake! I'm thrilled to say it. ”

"Heartbeat? After completing your studies, you have to be a county magistrate for three years before you can leave, not to mention this constraint, do you have the talent to be a county magistrate? ”

"The smart one has already gone to Qingzhou, Langya Zhuge Jin has heard of it, right? I left the day before yesterday. ”

“.”

Xiapi.

Chen Deng, the captain of the Diannong school, hurried and came to the ancestral house of the Chen family.

"Where's my father?" Chen Deng asked the old servant.

The old servant pointed the way and said, "The old master is reading in the pepper room. ”

The pepper room is named after the wall painted with pepper and mud, taking the meaning of warmth and fragrance.

The luxury houses of the rich and powerful, even in winter, are as warm as spring indoors, which is unimaginable for ordinary people.

Even in the Chen family, only Chen Qi and his son can freely enter and leave the pepper room.

Walking to the pepper room, Chen Deng's tone was a little eager: "Father, there is a big event in the East China Sea. ”

Chen Qi quietly put down the book in his hand, his expression was a little displeased: "Yuanlong, you are nearly thirty years old, why are you still so flustered?" ”

"The wise man does things, Mount Tai collapses in front and his face does not change."

"How can you achieve great things with a temperament like yours?"

Chen Deng was reprimanded by Chen Qi, and hurriedly bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "What my father taught me is that the child is reckless." ”

Chen Jue picked up the warm wine next to him, moistened his throat, and asked lightly: "But Tao Gongzu, are you going to apportionment money and grain again?" ”

Regarding Tao Qian's impression, Chen Qi was still just a vulgar martial artist in his mind.

Relying on his military exploits, he became the assassin of Xuzhou, but in essence, he was just a small martial artist.

If Tao Qian can be courteous to the Magi, Chen Qi can still have a good impression of Tao Qian.

But Tao Qian is greedy and favored, and he trusts villains.

In particular, the Xiapi Xiangzhu Rong, in the Guangxing Buddhist temple in Xiapi County, the people of Xiapi County were required to recite Buddhist scriptures day and night, so that the monks and nuns from the nearby counties moved into Xiapi County one after another, and there were more than 5,000 households before and after.

He also spent a huge amount of money to hold a "Buddha bathing meeting", which was extremely extravagant.

Chen Qi was very dissatisfied!

Rich food is not used to persuade farmers to teach mulberry, but is used for false Buddhist scriptures.

Can reciting Buddhist scriptures solve the problem of food and clothing?

On the one hand, he asked the people of Xiapi County to recite Buddhist scriptures to reflect on their sins, and on the other hand, he collected the money of the people of Xiapi County to fill his pockets.

Chen Qi has never seen such a brazen person!

Chen Deng shook his head: "It's Qingzhou Liu Envoy Jun, who wants to discuss with Tao Envoy Jun in the Yang capital of Langya Kingdom about the resettlement of 100,000 hungry people in the East China Sea Kingdom." ”

"Huh?" Chen Qi looked up in some surprise: "Tao Qian will settle the hungry?" Or 100,000? Isn't he afraid to kill himself? ”

The money and food for raising soldiers have to be apportioned by Tao Qian, who is from a wealthy family, and now he wants to take the initiative to settle 100,000 hungry people, who believes this?

Chen Deng nodded: "The details are not clear, I only know that this is Tao Yuanjun and Mi Zizhong discussing and planning together." ”

Chen Qi couldn't help frowning: "Mi Zizhong of the East China Sea, although he was born in a family of reclamation, his virtue and talent are far better than those of ordinary families. This man was also good at business, and there must have been other reasons for being so keen to bring about the resettlement of the hungry. ”

Chen Deng respectfully knelt in front of Chen Qi and asked, "Father, does the child need to go to Yangdu City?" ”

Chen Jue pondered for a moment: "It's okay to go for a trip!" If Liu Tingshi is really as rumored, Chen is also willing to make friends with Liu Tingshi. ”

Compared with a wealthy family like Mi Zhu, Chen Qi, who was born as a minister for generations, is more inclined to make friends in officialdom.

If this Liu Bei is really virtuous, then Chen Jue doesn't mind sending a favor to Liu Bei.

Favors are exchanged, and if you send favors, Liu Bei will repay this favor one day.

Chen Jue is well versed in this regard.

Chen Deng suddenly said: "The child understands!" ”

Looking at Chen Deng's departing back, Chen Qi couldn't help but sigh secretly.

"Although Yuanlong is smart and can govern the people and the army, he is arrogant and too sincere, if this is placed in the court, I don't know how to die."

"Alas!"

Chen Qi was a little worried in his heart.

can't be well versed in the way of officialdom, no matter how strong the ability to govern the people and the army is, he can't stop the villain's hidden arrow.

Because he knew Chen Deng's temperament, when Tao Qian recruited Chen Deng, Chen Qi only let Chen Deng take the position of captain of the agricultural school.

The purpose is very simple, let Chen Deng supervise farming under Tao Qian, and avoid Chen Deng falling into the whirlpool of officialdom power struggle.

"Liu Bei, Liu Xuande." Chen Qi picked up the pen, wrote Liu Bei's name list on the book, and fell into deep thought.

Gwangneung-gun.

Two young Confucian students sat against each other.

There is a person on the left, surnamed Zhang Minghong, and the character Zigang.

He once traveled to Luoyang, studied "Yi Jing" with Dr. Han Zong, studied "Shangshu" with Dr. Ouyang, and studied "Han Poems", "Book of Rites" and "Zuo's Spring and Autumn" with Puyang Min.

After returning to Guangling County, he was recommended as Maocai, and even the general He Jin, Taiwei Zhu Jun, and Sikong Xun Shuang all wanted to recruit Zhang Hong, but Zhang Hong refused to answer the call, and he has been studying in Guangling County to cultivate his temperament and make friends.

There is a person on the right, surnamed Zhang Mingzhao, the word Zibu, a native of Pengcheng.

The young man is studious, and he studied "Zuo's Spring and Autumn" with the famous Bai Hou Zi'an, and intersected with Zhao Yu, a native of Langya, and Wang Lang, a native of the East China Sea.

After the crown, Zhang Zhao was promoted to filial piety, but Zhang Zhao did not accept his resignation, but discussed with Wang Lang about the king's avoidance.

Tao Qian admired Zhang Zhao's reputation and promoted Zhang Zhao as a Maocai, but Zhang Zhao refused.

Zhang Zhao was also imprisoned by Tao Qian, who felt that he had lost face, and was only released after being rescued by his friend Zhao Yu.

But even so, Zhang Zhao did not openly express his resentment towards Tao Qian, and his virtue was even more admired by Xuzhou scholars.

The chess pieces fall lightly, and the chess game is confusing.

For a long time, Zhang Zhao pinched the chess pieces in his hands, looked at the confusing chess game, and couldn't help but sigh:

"The world is in turmoil, and the future is uncertain. The assassins and taishou of various states and counties, in order to chase vain fame and profit, let the people suffer, and I don't know where else in this world can let me and other scholars live in peace. ”

Scholars hope to apply what they have learned, to cultivate themselves, to work together, to govern the country, and to level the world.

But in this world, not every scholar can realize this ambition in his heart.

Most of the scholars either followed the torrent and changed from dragon slayers to evil dragons; Either go to the mountains and forests, and be a hermit who writes a book and speaks.

If you want to uphold your original intention and not be infected by the torrent of the world, and still be able to hold the power to serve the country and the people, how easy is it to talk about it?

Zhang Hong's demeanor is calm, and Zhang Hong has already seen the officialdom in this world.

Whether it is a political party or a minister, it is impossible to get rid of the struggle for power and profit.

The Son of Heaven is mediocre, the courtiers are treacherous, and the vain names abound, how difficult it is for the truly talented to stand out in this worldly torrent!

"Zibu, the chaos of the world is not something that a scholar like me can reverse."

"If the Lord of Ignorance is born, even if he is in a high position, it is better to be intoxicated with the bamboo forest, writing books, drinking, and playing chess, how fast!"

Zhang Hong chuckled and dropped the chess piece.

In Zhang Hong's eyes, although this chess game is confusing, it is not without a path that cannot be taken.

Zhang Zhao sighed.

It is said that he stands in his thirties, but Zhang Zhao is already in his thirties, but he still has not been able to stand in the world.

While he was talking, a letter was delivered.

"Hey, it's Yuanda's letter." Zhang Zhao was a little surprised.

After offending Tao Qian, Zhang Zhao took refuge in Zhang Hong's house in Guangling County.

Glancing at Zhao Yu's letter, Zhang Zhao's eyes gradually became deeper.

"Zibu, what did Yuanda say in the letter?" Seeing Zhang Zhao's expression change, Zhang Hong couldn't help asking.

Zhang Zhao smiled slightly: "Yuan Da said that he was going to Qingzhou to respond to the order of Qingzhou Thorn History, and he wrote to ask me if I had any intention of going with Brother Zigang." ”

Zhang Hong was slightly surprised: "Qingzhou Thorn History? Liu Bei, Liu Xuande? ”

Zhang Zhao nodded: "It's this person!" Yuan Da said that Qingzhou Liu Thorn Shi was very courteous to the Magi, and when he heard that Jizhou Zi Huigong was coming, he went out of the city for ten miles, waiting for the arrival of Zi Huigong in the cold wind. ”

"He also said that Liu Tingshi had a benevolent and righteous heart, and after defeating the Yellow Turban thieves in Qingzhou, he sheltered nearly 500,000 hungry people, and even more at the cost of his own reputation, he also wanted to save these 500,000 hungry people."

"Now Liu Tingshi is going to Yangdu City again, and he wants to discuss with Tao Envoy Jun about the resettlement of 100,000 hungry people in the East China Sea."

"Yuan Da thinks that Liu Tingshi can govern the army, govern the people, and have a heart of benevolence and righteousness, and there is more Kang Chenggong and his son to help him, which can be called a rare hero in the world!"

"Yuanda admired it in his heart and decided to go to Qingzhou."

Zhang Hong was shocked in his heart: "Yuan Da has always had a very high vision, and he actually has such an evaluation of Liu Tingshi? ”

Zhang Zhao got up and paced, and suddenly had an intention in his heart: "Brother Zigang, I originally wanted to go to Jiangdong to visit famous people, but since Yuanda has sent a letter, if I don't go to see this Liu Thorn History, it will inevitably make Yuanda feel cold." ”

"It just so happens that Liu Tingshi is going to Yangdu, why don't you go to Yangdu City with Brother Zigang and me for a few days?"

Zhang Hong pondered for a moment: "Then let's go together!" Yuan Da is a good friend of Zibu and a talented Langya talent I admire. If Liu Tingshi's name is not true, we have to persuade Yuan Da to calm down. ”

Immediately.

Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong prepared a carriage and headed for the capital of Yang.

And in the eastern city of Xiapi.

This is already the southernmost border of Xuzhou, and further south is the Huainan area.

And in Dongcheng, there is a wealthy Lu clan.

Lu Su, the head of the Lu family, lost his father at an early age and was raised by his grandmother.

This Lu Su was born with a burly appearance, a bold personality, likes to read, and is good at riding and shooting.

In troubled times, wealthy families from all over the country frantically annexed land, but this Lu Su did the opposite.

Not only did he not manage family affairs, but he did not learn from other wealthy families to annex land, but instead gave a large amount of money, sold his land, helped his neighbors, and made friends with past talents.

When the news came that Liu Bei was going to Yangdu City to discuss with Tao Qian about the resettlement of 100,000 hungry people, Lu Su, who was only eighteen years old, immediately came to the inner courtyard to ask his grandmother.

"Grandmother, grandson got the news that Qingzhou Liu Tingshi wants to discuss with Xuzhou Tao Tingshi about the resettlement of 100,000 hungry people in Yangdu City."

"Such a hero, how can my grandson not go and have a look?"

Eighteen-year-old Lu Su is the age of blood.

When I heard that the officials of this world actually took the initiative to settle the hungry, how could they not be curious?

Most officials, let alone resettle the hungry, can give some porridge and rice is considered benevolent.

When the old lady heard this, she was also quite surprised: "Is there really such a benevolent gentleman in the world?" ”

Lu Su said with a smile: "It is precisely because my grandson doesn't believe that there is such a benevolent gentleman in this world, that my grandson wants to go to Yangdu City to find out." If Liu Tingshi is also a person chasing fame, the bow in his grandson's hand will inevitably ring three times. ”

The old lady couldn't help but scolded: "Su'er, your father died early, you are the only male in the Lu family, don't be rash!" ”

"You give money and sell the fields, grandmother won't care about these things, but you can't care about the affairs of the Lu family!"

"You are allowed to learn martial arts, not for you to learn rangers!"

"If you have this idea, don't go to Yangdu City, stay for the Lu family first."

Lu Su smiled: "Grandmother, your grandson will also make you happy, how can you really learn from a ranger." ”

"Is there anyone like you amused?" The old lady stared.

Lu Su suddenly didn't dare to talk nonsense, and made an oath, which made the old lady agree.

Lu Su, who had obtained permission, immediately summoned more than ten knights and headed towards the capital of Yang.

In the counties and townships of Xuzhou, not only Chen Deng, Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, and Lu Su are admired, but there are also more talented and talented people, either alone or in groups to gather in the capital of Yangyang!

Kaiyang City.

This is the place where Zang Ba cantoned his troops.

Yangdu City is in the north, and Kaiyang City is in the south.

As early as a few days ago, Zang Ba got a sharply worded letter.

The letter was sent by Liu Bei, and the meaning was simple and straightforward.

I hope that Zang Ba will restrain military discipline, and if anyone dares to rob the people in the south, Liu Bei will raise the troops of Qingzhou to attack Kaiyang!

No negotiation, it's all announcement!

This tough attitude made Zang Ba angry and a little weak at the same time.

Even Shi Taoqian, the assassin of Xuzhou, didn't dare to speak to Zang Ba like this, but Liu Bei said so!

"Zang Shuai, this Liu Bei thinks that if he defeats the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, he can not take us seriously?" Wu Dun said angrily: "Liu Bei won't let us plunder, we will go to plunder." ”

"I don't believe that he really dares to raise the soldiers of Qingzhou to open the yang!"

Yin Li was also angry: "Zang Shuai, we came to Kaiyang from Mount Tai, who is not polite to us?" Then how can Liu Bei dare to be so rampant? ”

"Isn't he going to Yangdu City? Let's go to the north gate of Yangdu City, scare him, and see if he dares to use force! ”

Zang Ba didn't speak, but looked at Sun Guan, who was also meditating on the side.

Long.

Sun Guan came to a leisurely sentence: "Zang Shuai, if we move troops with Liu Bei, who do you say Tao Thorn Shi will help?" ”

In the first year of the first peace, there were really many talents who could dig!
