Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 388 Hit a Wall
A scholar needs an environment. Lan Tian didn't know if Liu Xi was pretending to be modest, so he didn't give up easily. After all, people at that time liked to play the routine of asking three times and rejecting three times.

Lantian is not as patient as Liu Bei, and Liu Xi is not as talented as Zhuge Liang, so he is going to let Liu Xi choose by himself, after all, facts speak louder than words.

"Sir, don't rush to refuse. There are two Meng schools in Guangxin City. Mr. Yao might as well take him to visit. Maybe you will change your opinion." Lan Tian looked at Yao Qi and said meaningfully.

"Your Majesty's words are very kind. Since you have come to Guangxin, sir, why don't you take a look around?" Yao Qi quickly added knowingly that he dared not refuse as a subordinate of Lantian.

Yao Qi could see that Lantian was very interested in Liu Xi, and he felt that he had made the right bet, at least for a short period of time, Panyu Ling could sit firmly.

"Okay then." Liu Xi and Yao Qi were old friends, and they agreed to come down.

Lan Tian originally wanted Xiahou Qi to arrange someone to accompany him, but Liu Xi directly refused because he was worried that it would not be true enough. He also sneaked out of Guangxin with Yao Qi, took a boat to the west and went straight to Mengling County. There is Meng School, so Liu Xi has to choose one by himself.

After Lantian got the news, he couldn't laugh or cry, did he dare to cheat?

"Liu Xi is so ungrateful, it's fine if you don't beat him out with a stick, why did you let him go to Mengling County? Do you need General Li Yi to send a navy to intercept him?" Gao Yuan was furious. asked loudly.

Lan Tian smiled slightly: "Liu Chengguo is not a scourge, and we don't have any secrets to speak of. Why do we need to send a navy to stop it? Besides, Yao Qi is with us."

Gao Yuan shook his head, "Yao Qi and him are on the same side, and may not be of the same heart and mind as Mr.

"It's okay, real gold is not afraid of fire." Lan Tian didn't care.

"I heard that Liu Xi can write beautiful articles. If he tells the world about your layout in Jiaozhou, then it will be fine."

Lan Tian interrupted Gao Yuan, "There's nothing to worry about. I don't think Liu Chengguo is a villain. Besides, we have the Book and News Agency. Who can spread the news?"

"Yes." Gao Yuan nodded.

On the surface, the Bureau of Books and Newspapers is published in newspapers, but it is actually a huge intelligence network. They can not only collect external intelligence, but also intercept internal confidential information, so Lantian is not afraid of the planting technology being leaked to other countries.

Besides, the scholar failed to rebel for ten years, and Lantian didn't believe that Liu Xi could cause any disturbance. In fact, his original guess was correct. Liu Xi was testing Lantian in his own way. He and Yao Qi didn't go straight to Mengling after arriving in Mengling. Instead of a school, he went deep into the countryside to observe the suffering of people's livelihood.

Mengling is located on the north bank of Yushui, bordering Yulin County to the west.Because of the flat terrain and fertile land, it has become the main food producing area of ​​Cangwu County. When Wu Ju and Lu Fan were the prefects of Cangwu, they had a feud with Lai Gong. Mengling stationed a large number of soldiers and horses in Cangwu for a long time. I have to pay taxes, so life is very difficult.

In the first month, the people have not started working, and every household is still filled with the joy of the New Year.

Liu Xi and Yao Qi visited several villages and found that the people here are full of praise for the new agricultural officials and township officials, and those young people are all from Quanling Academy. Whether it is dealing with the affairs of the village, or guiding scientific planting, each has its own unique method.

During Liu Xi’s stay in Jiaozhou, he was mostly in Jiaozhi County. Shi Xie’s governance was a bit like governing by doing nothing. Occasionally, the tax was lowered as if it was a blessing from heaven. The smiles of these ordinary people in Mengling did not appear at all.

Although these young people have only been in office for half a year, Yao Qi feels that they have received more praise than himself, and those cultivated by Lantian seem to have magical powers.

The two visited several villages in low clothes. On the way, they were discovered by the village pavilion because they asked questions. Yao Qi had no choice but to reveal his identity, and was finally released by the pavilion. (Tinghou is a grassroots township official, and his duty is to wait and check passers-by)

Mengling County opened a Mengling school in a secluded place in the south of the city according to the unified arrangement of the prefect Xiahou Qi. Because of the constraints of old ideas and the inseparable chores at home, few people are willing to send school-age children to study.

The Meng School has been open for half a year, and there are only nine children from the whole county who have come to study and study. This is the result of the efforts of the township officials. The teachers in the school are young Confucian students from Quanling School. When Liu Xi and Yao Qi walked to the door, there was a There was a catchy reading sound.

"The heaven and the earth are mysterious and yellow, the universe is prehistoric. The sun and the moon are in full swing, and the days and nights are arranged. The cold comes and the summer goes, the autumn harvests and the winter hides. The leap is full of age, and the law and the sun are adjusted."

Both Liu Xi and Yao Qi didn't know the Thousand-Character Classic. They stopped outside the window and listened for a long time, but they kept repeating the previous ten sentences, so they could memorize it before long.

"I don't know who wrote this article, but it contains everything in it, and it is full of charm. It is indeed a good book for Kaimeng." Liu Xi sighed.

Yao Qi shook his head, "Maybe Lord Lan Fu asked someone to compile it, otherwise where did these children get the textbooks?"

"Brother Yao is right, but the compilation is really good. I really want to know the content behind it." Liu Xi said with a smile.

Yao Qi disapproved and said, "Why is this so difficult? Wait for me to come into the house and fetch it from my husband."

"The school is an important place, who is making noise here?" The two of them startled the young scholar in the classroom because of their loud voices.

Liu Xi and Yao Qi hurriedly clasped their hands in salute, Yao Qi pointed to the people around him and introduced, "This is Mr. Beihai Chengguo."

The young scholar froze for a moment, frowned and said impatiently: "What Beihai Chengguo? I don't know it at all. You guys leave here quickly, and don't interfere with my teaching for schoolchildren."

Liu Xi was well-known in Jiaozhou, and this was the first time he was deflated in front of Confucian scholars, but he didn't know that the person in front of him was from Qianshou, and he didn't even know the celebrities who were praised by the gentry.

"It doesn't matter if we don't know each other. We just passed by here, and just now we heard the sound of reading loudly and the elegant style of writing. I wonder whose masterpiece the children are reciting?" Liu Xi asked politely, clasping his hands.

The teaching scholar saw that the clothes of the two people were not like ordinary people, but he didn't know where they came from, so he didn't want to show the thousand-character prose lightly to others. Children can send it, and they learn to repeat it to the two."

Yao Qi immediately became angry when he heard that, he pointed out his fingers and said, "You are so rude, Mr. Cheng Guo is a virtuous corporal, but you make things difficult for us for no reason, how can you be so unreasonable?"

The teaching student also lost his temper, and he replied coldly: "Are you here to make trouble? Meng Xuetang does not allow you to act wildly, if you don't leave, I will sue the government."

After hearing this, Yao Qi looked at Liu Xi and smiled, his white beard shaking in the wind with joy.
