Chapter 35

After Zhu A's incident, Shilou regained its original calm, and nothing else happened after that.

During this period, Liu Jing took the time to go to Shibei District, which is mainly engaged in handicraft industry, and asked a carpenter to make dove carts for his nephew Hutou, and made a few toothbrushes along the way.

After hearing his description, the carpenter felt that it was not difficult to make this object, so he agreed.

The problem of brushing teeth that has been bothering him is about to be solved, which makes Liu Jing in a good mood all day long.

After returning home from work, he dug out the manuscripts immediately, intending to choose the best among the best, and must choose the best work from among them, and present it to Zhuge Liang as a gift.

In terms of regular script, after a long time of consideration, he chose the first part of "On Passing the Qin Dynasty" by Jia Yi, a famous scholar in the former Han Dynasty, and the two classic articles "On Accumulation and Storage".

"Guo Qin Lun" is full of thousands of words. Even the first chapter has nearly a thousand words. "On Accumulation and Storage" is a little less, about [-] words. In order to write these two articles, Liu Jing did not know how much wasted. Pen and ink, how much sweat.

The reason why he chose "Guo Qin Lun" and "On Ji Chu Shu" was not because of their elegant rhetoric and rich literary talent, but because both of them were political theories. Liu Jing had countless poems and songs in his hand, but He thinks these things are of no benefit to Zhuge Liang.

In terms of running script, after careful consideration, he chose the two classic proses of "Ma Shuo" and its companion "Long Shuo" written by Han Yu, a great master of the Tang Dynasty.

"Ma Shuo" says that "thousand-mile horses often exist, but Bole does not often have them", which means that talents are not met;

The two articles are not many words, only more than a hundred words, but the reasoning is profound, the implication is borrowed, and even involves mythical creatures.

And it also hides Liu Jing's thirst for Zhuge Liang's talent, but unfortunately the other party is destined not to understand his intentions.

Zhuge Liang never thought that he would become the most outstanding person of this era in the future. Even those emperors who created dynasties could not conceal his brilliance.

These four articles can be described as the best of the best, and he couldn't wait to see Zhuge Liang's surprise.

With such thoughts in mind, Liu Jing fell into a deep sleep.

The next day was a beautiful day, and finally it was no longer cloudy and rainy. The sky stretched as far as the eye could see, with white clouds wandering in it, and the warm morning sun dispelled the dampness of many days in one fell swoop.

After breakfast, Liu Jing carried the paper scroll to the marketplace, passed by the Dongshi Gate, and smiled and nodded with the gatekeepers Dynasty and Ma Zhou.

After Liu Jingyuan left, Ma Zhou, the "desperado", said, "Brother, I have lived for 20 years, and I have never met such a humble and kind gentleman as Liu Jun. Is it because I am from a small county and I don't know much? "

Wang Chao shook his head slowly, and said: "I have lived in the county for nearly thirty years, and this is the first time I have met someone like Liu Jun. Liu Jun's 'plowing and raising guests' has been passed down among the villagers, and he can even serve his own servants and guests. It’s no surprise that you’re being kind and being humble and courteous to me.”

Ma Zhou said curiously: "It is said that Liu Jun and Liu Boxi are brothers of the same clan."

"Yes, they are all from Longqiu Liu clan." Chao said: "Longqiu Liu clan is not only the bloodline of the Han family, but also the crown of my Changsha nobility. There have been two third princes. Only such a high-ranking family, Only then can we cultivate two gentlemen and heroes like Liu Jun."

Ma Zhou pursed his lips when he heard it, and said loudly, "Brother, don't you hear that 'princes and generals, I would rather have a kind'?"

Before the dynasty could react, the passers-by couldn't help but burst out laughing. It was so ridiculous that a lowly city gate guard would say such bold words.

"Ah Zhou, speak carefully." Wang Chao persuaded with embarrassment.

Ma Zhou's face turned red, and he said dissatisfied: "Zhou Bo Zhibo, Fan Kuai slaughtered dogs; Wu Han horse dealers, Ma Wuliu thieves, these generations were all humble and simple people, and their talents were mediocre, but when they met Gaozu and Shizu , Immediately skyrocketed, made a marquis and worshiped a general, and became famous all over the world..."

Although he doesn't know a single word, he has loved listening to stories about ancient times since he was a child. He especially loves stories about reckless achievements. He always puts himself in them. If they can succeed, so can he.

There was silence first, and then burst into laughter.

Wang Dynasty was dumbfounded, not knowing what to say for a while.He knew that Ma Zhou's ambition was very high, but he didn't expect it to be so high, it was just a daydream.

Ma Zhou simply closed his eyes, he didn't bother to look at the mocking faces around him, and said in his heart: "The sparrow knows the ambition of the swan!"

Liu Jing didn't know anything about what happened at Dongshimen, he walked briskly into the building, and no accident, Xie Liang came one step earlier than him.

This man is a well-known workaholic upstairs and downstairs in the city. He heard from the city officials privately that he takes only a handful of vacations and returns home throughout the year, and his vacations are often not used up.It's not that no one persuaded him, and even the above forced him to take vacation, but after that he still went his own way.

This kind of person who regards work as his life, Liu Jing can only express his admiration, and is willing to bow down.

But admiration is all admiration, he will never give up the position of supervisor.It's not that he is pretentious, if he becomes a city supervisor, he will help the market a lot more than Xie Liang.

Therefore, for the future development of the market, you should honestly be your city history.

Liu Jing greeted Xie Liang calmly, and sat in the house to sort out the scrolls he brought, except for the first part of "On Guo Qin", "On Accumulation and Storage", "Ma Shuo", "Long Shuo", etc. "Four articles, he carefully selected a few equally outstanding articles and kept them as backup. From this, we can see his hard work, and there is no one else except Zhuge Liang.

Liu Jing didn't wait too long, Zhuge Liang arrived soon, and this time Zhuge Jun also came with him.

Just as Liu Jing expected last night, Zhuge Liang was ecstatic when he saw the articles. These articles seemed to have a magical power, which made him read them over and over again, unable to extricate himself.

Zhuge Jun had little knowledge, and felt that Liu Jing's handwriting was extremely beautiful. He especially liked running script, and fell in love with this beautiful and elegant calligraphy style at a glance.

Zhuge Liang watched it for a long time, and couldn't help but sigh: "Brother Liu's articles are higher than the articles stored in the bookstore in the city, and I can't evaluate it."

Liu Jing smiled and said, "It's good that Kong Ming likes it."

"On Guoqin Lun and Lun Ji Shu Shu written by Jiasheng in the former Han Dynasty are beautiful essays on politics through the ages, and I studied them at an early age," Zhuge Liang asked, "but I have never heard of the two essays "Ma Shuo" and "Long Shuo". I don't know which Gaoshi it is from?"

Liu Jing waved his hand and said: "There is no such thing as a master, this is my game."

"Brother Liu is a great talent." Zhuge Liang admired.The implication of borrowing things in the two texts, alluding to the Han Dynasty, is full of anger, but also carries a trace of fantasy and hope. This is not just Liu Jing's idea. In this era, any person of insight may have Same mixed feelings.

Since the beginning of Xiaohe Emperor in this dynasty, the nobles and surnames plundered the land of the common people.The people have no land, or they are slaves of the wealthy clan, and they are used like animals, and their lives are involuntary;

The sky does not pity the Han, and then two fatuous monarchs, Huan and Ling, appeared one after another, causing the world to shake, the society to be shaken, and almost collapsed.Now the emperor is trapped in Chang'an, controlled by the rebels from the border, and the majesty of the Han family has been swept away.

The prophecies have always said that the period of Han Zuo is 400 years. Now that the period of [-] years is approaching, some people have completely lost confidence in the Han Dynasty, and some people still have illusions about the Han Dynasty.Zhuge Liang belongs to the latter.

When Zhuge Liang was four years old, the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, and his hometown Xuzhou was destroyed for several years. Therefore, since he can remember, he has seen chaos, and then he experienced the massacre of Xuzhou by Cao Cao. He had to leave his hometown and go south to avoid disaster.

Zhuge Liang's parents died at an early age, wandering in troubled times, and his mind was precocious. He regards Guan Zhong and Le Yi as his role models and goals, and aspires to become a unparalleled national warrior just like them. .

Liu Jing is a clan member of the Han Dynasty, and Zhuge Liang believes that he should be the same kind of person as himself.
