The frail counselor you said, you fight against three heroes alone?

Chapter 215 When Pang Tong first arrived in Xuzhou, Zhuge Liang led the way
At this moment, outside the government office, Xi Yu stood with his hands behind his back, nodded to Chen Deng approvingly, and said, "It's very good that Yuanlong can understand righteousness so deeply."

"From today onwards, I allow you to directly enter the school to do the teaching work without the assessment. Zhuge Kongming is in charge of the teaching staff. You can ask him for advice on the corresponding matters."

"Thank you, Mr. Xi."

After saying that, Chen Deng bowed deeply to Xi Yu, his face full of righteousness.

But in his heart, he felt extremely uncomfortable, like a drop of blood: I think Chen Deng is a man who has studied Confucianism, but now he has to bow his head to the drama master for the position of a deviant teacher.

It's ridiculous and sad.

……

Xi Yu was very happy with Cao Ang's arrival, and said with a smile, "Ang'er, follow me, you and I will go to the government office to talk."

"Okay, uncle."

Cao Ang smiled, and then followed Xi Yu into the government office.

After Xuzhou's school-running strategy spread rapidly, various forces responded differently.

Some people were curious, some were amazed, and some were very angry. These people came to Xiapi City with their own minds.

Countless horse-drawn carriages gathered outside the city of Xiapi. According to Xi Yu's regulations, the carriages were only put into the outer city after checking that there were no weapons or suspicious persons in the carriages.

Most of the people living in the outer city are ordinary people and merchants.

At this moment, several carriages came slowly and came to the gate of the post house, and then a group of Confucian scholars got off the carriage.

The leader is a little older, and he is a famous family in Wancheng, Mr. Qiao.

Before that, there were constant wars. Mr. Qiao heard that Xuzhou implemented a policy of benevolence. There were no bandits and bandits in Xuzhou city, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. So Qiao abandoned his family and came to Xuzhou.

Mr. Qiao planned to live in seclusion in Xuzhou, but he heard that Xi Yu was a talented person with profound knowledge and a high reputation.

The common people in Xuzhou even voluntarily farmed for the sake of Xiyu's strategy, and helped each other with ten farming households as one.

Mrs. Qiao was very curious about such a god-man, so she came to inquire about it.

But this time there was another person who was heartbroken with him, this person's name was Huang Chengyan.

Huang Chengyan was Liu Biao's brother-in-law, and the three people attached great importance to fame and integrity, and rarely interacted with people from Jingzhou.

At this moment, behind Duke Qiao and Huang Chengyan, followed a scholar with a very haughty expression. This person had a wretched and ugly face, and his skin was as dark as carbon.

This person's name is Pang Tong, and his character is Shiyuan.

Speaking of Pang Tong, there is a well-known thing.

Sima Hui in Yingchuan is the most elegant and good at knowing people. Before Pang Tong met Sima Hui, Huang Chengyan had a very good personal relationship with Pang Tong.

Sima Hui praised Pang Tong, saying that he is afraid of extraordinary people in the future, but it still needs to be discussed before it can be concluded.

Therefore, many people are looking forward to Sima Hui and Pang Tong's real strategy, and they are also up for grabs.

Most of the silver ornaments near Xiangyang live in seclusion somewhere. After they become famous, if they find a wise master and want to be an official, the onlookers will go out of the mountain and get a more satisfactory status and identity.

If you fail to meet the Ming Lord, you will have to live your life peacefully, but you will be quiet and at ease.

Now, they are the closest to Xuzhou, so they naturally became the first batch of Confucian scholars who arrived in Xuzhou.

After entering the posthouse, Huang Chengyan said, "Mr. Qiao has worked hard all this time. How about I treat you to dinner tonight?"

Hearing this, Qiao Gong gently stroked his beard, shook his head and said with a smile, "This is impossible."

"Now, I'm just a first-class homeless person. I planned to find a residence in Xiapi City. After I settle down, I will invite Mr. Huang and Mr. Shi Yuan to sit together."

"It's... so good."

Afterwards, the three of them stayed in the post house, Huang Chengyan and Pang Tong stayed, and Mr. Qiao continued to look for a house to live in.

Pang Tong and Huang Chengyan said, "This place seems to live in peace and tranquility, and it is indeed commendable, but it cannot be compared with the nine counties of Jingxiang, which has a vast land and abundant resources!"

"There is also this master of opera, who may indeed have the talent of mastering the world, but wants to abolish Confucianism himself. This policy will definitely be criticized by everyone. I, Pang Shiyuan, will be the first to discuss it with him!"

"Mr. Huang, stay alone for the time being, I'll go meet Mr. Xi right now."

Seeing this, Huang Chengyan smiled and said, "Shiyuan, you and I have known each other for many years, and I am not an outsider. I have money, so you can live here with peace of mind, and you don't need to worry about money..."

His thoughts were seen through by Huang Chengyan, Pang Tong was taken aback for a moment, turned his head very proudly, and gave Huang Chengyan a blank look, "I, I..."

"Why did you say that, sir? How did I ever say that I have no money to stay here... This is..."

Pang Tong stammered, "I want to justify the name of Confucianism! I won't joke with you, I'll go to the Academy of Sciences to have a look."

After finishing speaking, Pang Tong walked outside. After walking a few steps, he turned around and said to Huang Chengyan, "Remember to reserve a room for me!"

Afterwards, Pang Tong walked straight towards the Academy of Sciences.

After Pang Tong left the post house, Huang Chengyan also had some ideas about Xi Yu's school-running strategy.

Like other scholars of Confucianism, when he was still in Jingzhou, Huang Chengyan was also very angry when he heard about Xuzhou's deviant school running.

However, on the way to Xuzhou, Huang Chengyan's anger gradually calmed down, and instead he thought about the matter of running the school carefully.

Although Confucianism is good, in today's troubled times where wars continue, most of the generals and soldiers have never studied Confucianism. If you want to restrain the battle with virtue, it is extremely difficult.

Could it be that when the soldiers are approaching the city, they can retreat by relying on high-spirited talk and fighting with each other?
In today's troubled times, if you want to help the Han Dynasty, only practical learning is possible!
Huang Chengyan really admired the wonder of Xi Yu's school-running strategy.

However, other famous scholars in the south still cannot understand how engineering, agriculture, and business can be compared with Confucianism.

……

On foot, Pang Tong came to the gate of the inner city, which was guarded by guards and heavily guarded, making it impossible to enter easily.

Looking at the entire city of Xiapi, compared with the previous years, the fortifications are now high-strength, and the city is much thicker, almost half as high, and the city is much thicker.

It has become a real big city.

Pang Tong thought to himself: The city is still like this. Compared with the city, it has been expanded a lot. I am afraid that the city alone can accommodate 10,000+ people. It is really unimaginable, "My lord, there is really a lot of money..."

Pang Tong stood at the door for a long time, thought for a while, and then said to the guards, "Pang Tong in Xiangyang, come to pay a visit to Mr. Xi, please let me know."

Hearing Pang Tong's words, the guards at the door all looked embarrassed, and replied, "Your Excellency has already ordered me to beware of famous people, especially people like you who claim to come to pay a visit. , but with empty hands and nothing..."

Nowadays, Master Xi is not something anyone can see easily.

"Even if it's a banquet, you still need to bring some handkerchiefs, and you need good wine, meat, and good tea to treat you..."

"If the people from the outer city come to pay a visit, the Master Xi will meet naturally. As for the celebrities, the Master Xi has something to say, so they won't see each other."

Hearing this, Pang Tong was taken aback for a moment, and even blushed from his face to his neck: "Master Xi, what's so important about this?" !
But...it does make sense.

"Shi Yuan?"

Just when he was in a dilemma, Pang Tong suddenly heard someone calling him.

He looked back and saw a man who was about to enter the city, followed by a book boy and twelve black armored cavalrymen who had been made of steel.

This person is wearing a white robe, with long hair tied behind his head, and he is delicate and energetic.

"Kong Ming? When did you come here?"

As soon as Pang Tong finished speaking, the guards in front of the gate bowed deeply when they saw Zhuge Liang, "My lord, have you just finished patrolling the fields?"

Zhuge Liang said to the guards, "That's right, you open the city gate quickly, this gentleman is my friend."

The guard looked stunned for a moment, then opened the city gate, "Okay, my lord."

Seeing that Zhuge Liang was respected by the guards, and now his status is not low, Pang Tong felt really uncomfortable. He never thought that he was about the same age as Zhuge Liang, and was also recommended by celebrities in Jingzhou, but now...

After the city gate was opened, Zhuge Liang led Pang Tong into the city. Pang Tong's face suddenly changed, and he was shocked by the novelty around him.

Before that, Pang Tong also came to Xiapi City. At that time, only the government office used stone materials in the houses in the city, but now, almost all houses use stone materials.

Seeing Pang Tong's surprise, Zhuge Liang immediately explained to him, "This material is made of concrete, designed by the Academy of Sciences."

Although Pang Tong didn't know what concrete technology was, he could only nod his head repeatedly, "Oh, that's how it is..."

Soon, Pang Tongyou noticed the novelty of the ground, and he was even more surprised: the ground was all bluestone slabs, neat and flat, without any bumps, and his thin bottom was as comfortable as a palace when he stepped on it.

When he was in the outer city just now, Pang Tong noticed that there were still gravel on the road, and there were traces of wheels of carts and horses. Now that he was in the inner city, the difference is quite different.

Pang Tong was amazed and asked, "Kong Ming, are you an official under Mr. Xi?"

Zhuge Liang nodded and replied, "Well, although I am young and have insufficient qualifications, Master Xi appoints people on their merits. He doesn't think I came from a poor background, so he appointed me as the head of the Academy of Academic Affairs, in charge of many teaching matters in the school."

Zhuge Liang said with a bit of pride in his words, "Master Xi even asked me to take charge of the farming affairs in Xuzhou. Now, the situation in Xuzhou is very good, and this autumn will surely have an unprecedented bumper harvest."

Pang Tong was slightly startled, and exclaimed, "Now that summer is about to begin, many places in Jingzhou haven't had rain for many days. I'm afraid a drought is coming."

Zhuge Liang showed no signs of worry, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, the rainy season in the hinterland of Jingzhou is after January and February. At this time, you must be cautious when planting the land according to the solar terms. It is not suitable for large-scale farming. It is better to be separated by a few meters."

Zhuge Liang was very puzzled, "Mi? What is... rice?"

"Hehe, one meter is about five feet." Zhuge Liang explained.

Pang Tong was very puzzled, who created this "rice", but he had never heard of it before.

"Oh..." Pang Tong nodded slightly in response.

Seeing that Pang Tong seemed to be thinking about it, Zhuge Liang continued, "Farmers use Xiyu numbers to record and compile, and then match it with Chinese characters to prevent mistakes. Then we can get the number of all farmers, so everything can be clearly seen."

Pang Tong asked in a daze, "The number of dramas? What is this..."

Pang Tong felt that Zhuge Liang had changed a lot.

A few years ago, when the two met for the first time, they talked about the heroes of the world, commented on the princes in troubled times, and talked deeply about the rise and fall of the Han Dynasty.

But now Zhuge Liang couldn't understand what Zhuge Liang was saying...

Pang Tong suddenly felt very uncomfortable, but he could only suppress it in his heart.

"Kong Ming...can you please enlighten me on the number of dramas you have said?"

Zhuge Liang was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "The number of dramas is not a mystery, and now a six-year-old in Xuzhou city can memorize it backwards. Come on, let me go to my government office and tell it."

"Oh... well."

Hearing this, Pang Tong felt more uncomfortable and curious.

Pang Tong knew very well that Zhuge Liang seemed to be indifferent to fame and fortune, but in fact he was arrogant and felt that it was difficult to meet a wise master.What is the reason that made him willing to commit himself to his subordinates, taking on several roles, and being busy day and night.

Pang Tong was very puzzled.

Zhuge Liang saw through Pang Tong's thoughts early on, but he didn't say much, so he took him to the Xuzhou government office.

At this moment, Dian Wei was standing at the gate of the government office, like a giant tower.

As soon as Zhuge Liang walked to the door, Dian Wei smiled and said, "Kong Ming, you just got off work, right? Hehe, I'm already on the night shift!"

In words, Dian Wei was very proud.

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang smiled, and then introduced to Pang Tong, "Shi Yuan, at this time General Dian Wei is one of the three great generals under Mr. Xi."

Dian Wei seemed displeased, straightened his back immediately, and said loudly, "Kong Ming, what you said is wrong, I am the number one fighter under your command!"

"Hehe... yes, number one, number one..." Zhuge Liang glanced at Dian Wei and immediately affirmed.

Afterwards, he smiled and patted Pang Tong on the shoulder, "Shi Yuan, you wait here for now, I will go in and report."

"Okay." Pang Tong replied.

……

When Zhuge Liang came to the government office, he saw Xi Yu, Guo Jia, Jia Xu and Zhao Yun playing mahjong.

The sound of mahjong rattling continued, the four of them were playing vigorously, and the surrounding guards couldn't help but stepped forward to watch.

At this time, Xi Yu noticed Zhuge Liang, and immediately said to him, "Kong Ming, do you want to come over for a while too?"

Zhuge Liang hurriedly replied, "Thank you, my lord. I have a friend from Xiangyang. I have come to report to my lord. I need to accompany him to have a drink tonight."

"Mr. Zhuge's friend?" At this time, Zhao Yun who was on the side interjected.

Zhuge Liang nodded in response.

Zhao Yun has always respected Zhuge Liang, so he immediately suggested to Xi Yu, "Since you are a friend of Mr., why don't you go to the front camp to have a barbecue tonight, and I'll call Lord Pufeng?"

"Zilong's proposal is very good." Xi Yu laughed.

You have to do your best to do things, and you have to spend time after get off work as a good pastime. Xi Yu thinks this is the correct and interesting way of life.

Zhuge Liang quickly declined, "My lord, Zilong, I won't go."

"My lord doesn't know, my friend is Pang Tong, a well-known scholar in Xiangyang, ranked...after me, and also appeared in the silk book list of brothers Xu Jing and Xu Shao."

However, what Zhuge Liang still doesn't know is that the silk script was written by Xi Yu.

And Xi Yu ranked Zhuge Liang before Pang Tong, just because Zhuge Liang is a great talent in governing the country, but this does not mean that Pang Tong is inferior to Zhuge Liang, it is because he is a minister of governing the country, but it does not mean that Pang Tong is inferior to Zhuge Liang.

From Xi Yu's point of view, Zhuge Liang and him have similar personalities, and they are both cautious people.

And this Pang Tong was more courageous, dared to try, and won by surprise.

Xi Yu had already planned to recruit some talents to be by her side.

Moreover, before the battle of Guandu, Xi Yu planned to completely get rid of Lu Bu's three family slaves.

At this time, Xi Yu also saw through Zhuge Liang's recommendation, so he said with a smile, "Kong Ming, since he is a celebrity in Xiangyang and your friend, you will arrange for him to live in the Engineering College tomorrow."

"At the same time, if it is possible, let him be a teacher in the engineering college. I think Pang Tong's coming this time must also want to make a difference."

Zhuge Liang was very excited immediately, and bowed deeply to Xi Yu: "On behalf of Pang Tong, I thank you for your love!"

……

After Zhuge Liang came out of the government office, Pang Tong talked with Zhuge Liang for a long time that night. After reading the map of the design institute, Pang Tong was deeply shocked, but couldn't help but sigh.

"Master Xi is really a rare talent, but he is not much different from others, and he doesn't show much love to famous people. He has the status he has today because he has many capable people around him."

Zhuge Liang smiled faintly, "Shi Yuan, what you said is wrong, you have wrongly blamed Mr. Xi."

"Oh, why did you say that?" Pang Tong asked.

Zhuge Liang glanced at Pang Tong with a smile, and said, "Just now I just said your name, and my lord immediately invited you to the front camp for barbecue."

"What you don't know is that the front camp is on the outskirts of Xiapibei City. There is a [-]-mile camp with [-] soldiers and horses. Your Excellency's supply camp is also there. Your Excellency invited you to go to such an important place. You said that your Excellency is so generous. Isn't that enough for a corporal?"

Hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Pang Tong was very ashamed, and he knew that he was a villain who saved the belly of a gentleman, "Then why don't we go to the front camp now?"

Zhuge Liang smiled, "I have already told my lord that you, Shi Yuan, are not sociable, so my lord will stop forcing you."

"Kong Ming, you..." Pang Tong's heart sank, deeply regretful.

But Pang Tong was suddenly overjoyed, and asked, "Listening to what you said, Master Xi intends to reuse me?"

Pang Tong is very interested in the school now, especially the academic called "mathematics".

Zhuge Liang replied: "Of course, my lord has promised that you can be a teacher in engineering. If you can help develop armaments, you will make great contributions in the future."

"Engineering? But, what I learned is Confucianism..."

Pang Tong was quite surprised, but he thought for a while and said, "Engineering is engineering. As long as I can stay and do things, I will definitely be able to do well."

"Very good, let's go, you come with me, I will show you Haosheng to visit the Academy of Sciences."

"Kong Ming, Mr. Xi and you... really moved me..."

Pang Tong's nose suddenly became sour, and his heart was very excited.

He didn't expect that he could get such generous treatment from Xi Yu.

Before coming here, Pang Tong had already heard that the Academy of Sciences is the foundation of Xuzhou. Xi Yu allowed him to be a teacher in such an important place, and Zhuge Liang personally showed him around...

This move really excited Pang Tong!
Later, Zhuge Liang took Pang Tong to visit the entire Academy of Sciences, but both Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong were refused entry to the most gorgeous Tiangong Academy.

Pang Tong was very shocked, and asked excitedly, "You are not allowed to enter here. In this way, there are secret ordnance hidden inside, or is it a wonderful workmanship?"

Zhuge Liang said in a deep voice, "We also have such speculations. Please remember that only adults can enter this place. We must not try to break in without permission, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable."

Zhuge Liang looked at the gate of Tiangongyuan with a serious expression...
