Chapter 622 Newly edited by Yuefu
Jingzhou Shepherd Liu Biao welcomed two guests at the same time.

One is Yin Kui sent by Yuan Shao, and the other is Zhou Zhong sent by the imperial court.

After Yin Kui entered the city, he went directly to see Liu Biao, talked about Yuan Shao's military strength, and promised that as long as Liu Biao was willing to respond to Yuan Shao, he didn't need to go all the way to Pengcheng, as long as he could restrain Zhang Ji so that Zhang Ji could not act rashly , is meritorious service.

After Zhou Zhong entered the city, he was not in a hurry to see Liu Biao.

He came to Wang Can's residence immediately.

Wang Can is the great-grandson of the former Taiwei Wang Gong and the grandson of the former Sikong Wang Chang.Liu Biao had studied under Wang Gong, and was a party member with Wang Chang, so he took good care of Wang Can.

Although Wang Can failed to take up an official position, he lived in Anyi in Jingzhou and had a big house.It is very pleasant to talk and laugh every day with great Confucianism and no white people.

When Zhou Zhong came in, Wang Can was talking about poetry and Fu with a group of people, and they were very happy.Seeing Zhou Zhong walking in, Wang Can was startled, and quickly got up to greet him.

"When did Duke Zhou come? How dare you bother me, let someone inform you, and I will go see Duke Zhou."

Zhou Zhong waved his hand, went straight to the hall, looked around, and smiled slightly.

"They are all young talents. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Wang Can said with a smile: "Young talents have been taken to the court by Duke Zhou. How can I get into the eyes of Duke Zhou?"

Everyone laughed at the same time.

It didn't take long for Zhou Zhong to take away Zhuge Liang from Longzhong with a shot, and it didn't take long for the news to spread in Xiangyang, and was taken as a joke by many people.There were so many people gathered in Xiangyang, Zhou Zhong didn't take any of them, but he took Zhuge Liang with him. I don't know if Liu Biao was watching too closely, or Zhou Zhong had no vision.

Zhou Zhong smiled and said nothing, and when the laughter of the crowd subsided, he said: "Zhongxuan, I came to see you today because I was entrusted by someone."

"I don't know who Duke Zhou is talking about? I don't seem to have any past in the court."

"Cai Bojie's daughter, Cai Yan, is now an official in Lantai Lingshi."

Everyone was stunned and looked at each other.

Zhou Zhong made it clear that Cai Yan was an official in Lantai Lingshi, which meant that Cai Yan was not an ordinary harem official, but a formal court official.It is no longer a rumor that a woman is an official, but a fact.

"Cai Bochi sent you a lot of books back then, and Cai Lingshi wanted to ask Zhongxuan to keep these books safe, so she might want to borrow them in the future. In addition..."

Zhou Zhong hooked his fingers, and a follower came over and handed a small book to Zhou Zhong.Zhou Zhong put the books on the table, opened the delicate clasp, took out a bound book, and held it up high.

"This is a new Yuefu compilation collected by Cai Lingshi. They are all ancient songs that have been sung by the Han and Qiang people in Liangzhou for hundreds of years. Some of them coincide with the classics of the Central Plains and can be used for mutual reference. This is a special gift to Zhongxuan. Please correct me. "

Wang Can frowned slightly, and took the book from Zhou Zhong's hand.As soon as he started, he sighed.

"Good paper, good ink, good calligraphy."

Zhou Zhong nodded. "The paper is Xuan grass paper from Hedong Bookstore, the ink is Jishan pine smoke ink, and the calligraphy is Liang Menghuang's handwriting."

"Liang Menghuang went to Hedong?" Everyone was quite surprised.

Liang Hu Liang Menghuang also took refuge in Jingzhou and was famous for his calligraphy, but his character was not very good and he was not praised by others.After the emperor settled the border, Liang Hu left Jingzhou. It is said that he went back to his hometown to settle down. He didn't expect him to be in Hedong Bookstore.

But Wang Can didn't participate in the discussion. He could read ten lines at a glance, quickly flipped through a book, and praised it. "The style of this book is very good and convenient. It's just that the content is a bit vulgar. It's not enough for entertainment or academics."

"This is to maintain the original appearance, and retain a lot of ancient sounds." Zhou Zhong said lightly: "Zhongxuan only reads the text, and has never heard it recited by anyone. It is normal to be puzzled by it."

Wang Can's face turned red immediately, and he couldn't help but choked back: "There are ancient sounds in the land of barbarians?"

"A land of barbarians?" Zhou Zhong twitched his lips. "Do you know where Fuxi's Longxing Land is?"

"where is it?"

"In Tianshui, which is now Hanyang County. This is the latest conclusion Cai Lingshi came to during his visit to ancient times in Hanyang. He is writing an article, and you will see it soon. If you have any objections, please speak freely at that time. You are welcome. But You haven't been to Tianshui, so you probably can't tell why."

"I..." Wang Can was suddenly at a loss for words, his eyes widened, but he couldn't say a word.

Zhou Zhong, is this saying that I am ignorant?
"You guys mentioned Zhuge Liang just now." Zhou Zhong said again: "Do you know what position Zhuge Liang is in now? He is a servant by the side of the emperor, gets along with the emperor day and night, and trains in government affairs. My old eyes are dim, and the emperor is a sage, so I can't make a mistake. people?"

Everyone laughed awkwardly, speechless.

"Also, when I passed through Guanzhong, Liu Zichu, a native of Jingzhou, had just been transferred from Anyi Ling to the chief minister."

"Oh—" someone exclaimed.

Liu Ba is a well-known scholar in Jingnan, and many people know him.It was heard before that he went to Hedong and served as the magistrate of Anyi. Many people thought that the imperial court would not employ people. Such a celebrity was actually just a small magistrate of Anyi.Even if the Son of Heaven establishes his capital in Anyi, the Anyi Order is still very important, after all, it is only a Qianshi official, and it is not considered important.

But now Liu Ba has changed from Anyiling to Dasinong in one step, which is a bit outrageous.

It stands to reason that An Yiling has done a good job, and the next step should be to become a prefect.Only by doing a good job as the prefect can he be transferred to Jiuqing.

Zhou Zhong showed a satisfied smile. "The Son of Heaven does not stick to common etiquette when employing people. Do you know why Liu Zichu became the chief minister?"

"Dare to ask."

"When Liu Zichu was in charge of Anyi, he vigorously encouraged mulberry planting, and he did not hesitate to borrow money for it. At that time, many people thought his actions were absurd, but now that the commercial roads in the Western Regions have resumed, the supply of silk and silk is in short supply, and there is not enough mulberry leaves in all counties and counties. , only Anyi produces the most. Now the people of Anyi are rich, all thanks to Liu Zichu."

Someone couldn't help asking: "Sibo's market is so good?"

"The supply exceeds the demand. Now the silk on every loom in Hedong and Guanzhong has been ordered away, and it can't be completed. The weavers can't wait to give birth to eight hands. There is a young craftsman surnamed Ma in Guanzhong who invented A new type of loom can increase the efficiency by [-]%, and as soon as the test was successful, someone came to order it, and within a few days, only a deposit of [-] yuan was collected."

There was a lot of discussion. "No wonder the price of silk in Xiangyang has risen again and again this year. That's how it is."

"Not only in Xiangyang, but also in Jiangnan. It is said that silk is still unavailable. I wanted to make two new clothes, but I haven't made it until now."

Zhou Zhong looked at everyone with a smile. "You guys, don't even think about making new clothes. Even if you have tens of thousands of wealth, if you don't earn money, you may not be able to wear silk in the future. It is said that those silk are transported to the Western Regions, and they are equivalent to gold, and they are considered dignitaries. It’s hard to resist its temptation.”

Wang Can raised his hand and interrupted the debate. "Duke Zhou, you are coming to Xiangyang this time to do business, right?"

"That's not true." Zhou Zhong said with a smile: "I was here to recruit students, but I didn't expect you to be so interested in business, so it went too far. Now that I'm talking about business, I'll say a few more words. What masterpiece do you want to publish in the world? The quality of Hedong Bookstore is the best, I can help you contact, it is fast and good, and the price is still low."
