Chapter 261

Southern Xinjiang?

Lu Anran paused for a while to dip the tea, the floating and sinking tea leaves were reflected in his pupils, and he couldn't help but think of the person from last night, who seemed to be the daughter of Mrs. Jinhua, with a good-looking appearance, enough to match his second brother.

It's just that Miao Jiang is only one of the three southern Xinjiang tribes, so I don't know how powerful they are.

"Forget it, I won't take away your love, and if you send someone to buy it for me, your money is indispensable." Liu Shi lightly nodded her teacup and said with a smile.

The shopkeeper's face was overjoyed, and he quickly bowed and saluted: "Yes. My lord, madam, Cao Min will take my leave first." It was obvious that the current occasion was not for him to stay, so he politely bowed.

After people left, Lu Anran slowly put down the teacup, and glanced at the so-called "maiden's family" in the lobby, each of them had different expressions, with hundreds of colors.

Qing Huan handed over the list and said softly: "Master, this is the family tree of the Liu family. There are 210 and 20 people in total. More than [-] people escaped and died, and [-] people sold their children. The remaining men, women and children are all here."

Licheng's paper has already been sold, and the price is low, but it is not widely used by outsiders.

So the other party's genealogy is a scroll made of silk cloth, which can easily be two meters long when spread out.

It is densely packed with names, and many of them have been crossed out with vertical lines. At first glance, it looks like the book of life and death in the hands of the king of Hades.

Those who crossed out were sold or evicted from their homes, and those who died wrote a small death, mourning, or death on the side.

"Those who have achieved fame will come out." After reading it, Lu Anran spoke.

Dozens of members of the Liu family looked at each other, walked out alone or under the push of their relatives, and bowed their hands in salute.

"Student Liu Zhenglin."

"Student Liu Chengfei."

"Student Liu Jianghong..."

"See your lord."

There are a total of 13 people. In a clan of hundreds of people, there are more than a dozen people who have achieved fame.

But ability and character are two different things, and her own character and the character of her family members are two different things. She can accept a person with poor knowledge, but she cannot accept a person with poor character.

Therefore, after scanning all the students present, her eyes finally fell on Liu Luming, who was her so-called uncle!
Meeting her scrutinizing gaze, a trace of embarrassment was fleeting in Liu Luming's eyes, while he was angry, but at the same time felt like a glow on his back, a sudden chill.

This niece is not easy!
Lu Anran narrowed his eyes, retracted his gaze, looked at them, and said indifferently: "Be compassionate to the peasants, loyal to the king, good at people, the king is good to people, the people are good, the king is to the community, the people are determined, the king is to the land, the people are wise, the king is to the people If the common people live, the world will be unified. What do you mean?"

As soon as these words came out, the members of the Liu clan who were present immediately became excited, and at the same time, their hearts were raised in their throats.

Especially for the dozen or so students, this question is clearly a test for them. If the answer is correct, they may be able to work under the Lord Lu's subordinates.

So, someone bowed their hands and saluted, and immediately opened their mouths to answer: "My lord, the student's explanation:
As an official, love the people, be loyal to the emperor, do good deeds, and treat people like a gentleman. In this way, the people are kind; if you practice the righteousness of a gentleman in the world, the people will be stable; if you practice the righteousness of a gentleman in the country, the people will be wise and intelligent; if you practice the righteousness of a gentleman In the world, the world will return to its heart, and the world will be united. "

Hearing this, the faces of the other students who were preempted changed for a while, and they gave him a look of hatred, stopped talking, and racked their brains to think about whether there are other angles to explain.

Lu Anran glanced at him, neither agreed nor refuted, just nodded slightly.

Seeing that she didn't speak, the student felt uneasy, but he didn't dare to say anything more, so he retreated into the crowd after doing a scholar's salute.

In the crowd, a dirty child glanced at him, curled his lips involuntarily, and muttered in a low voice: "The way of the emperor is not so simple."

The woman next to him slapped him on the head and said in a low voice, "Don't mess around!"

On the side, seeing the student back, Liu Luming's eyes flickered slightly. This niece can achieve such a status, and she must be a person with deep gaps in her chest. The literal interpretation may not be the real meaning, it can only be...

"My lord." Thinking he had found the right direction, Liu Luming stood up, even if it was Lu Anran's uncle, he still performed the scholar's salute with an extremely respectful attitude.

This gesture made Lu Anran look at him with admiration, he did everything without leaking, so that others could not find a reason to correct mistakes. This uncle is a bit scheming, but that's all.

As soon as he opened his mouth, all the students looked at him, feeling dissatisfied but they didn't dare to speak. There was no way, his knowledge was the best here, and more importantly, he was Master Lu's uncle!

Really incomparable!

"The lower officials believe that an official should be fair and honest, fulfill his duties in the temple, and face the king with loyalty; if he is far away from the rivers and lakes, he will love the people and worry about the suffering of the people; I can return to my heart."

This explanation made all the students look ugly for a while, especially the first student who came out to explain, at this moment, his face was ashen.

His explanation is relatively general, while Liu Luming's is much more detailed than his. It can be said that he has picked the rough and picked the essence and added his own opinion, which is indeed good, but...

He glanced at Liu Luming resentfully, this person is really a villain, and he modified his interpretation!

Seeing the different looks of the crowd, Lu Anran suddenly felt uninterested. Among the ten or so students, none of them could give the answer she wanted!

Can't help but secretly sighed, and then slowly said: "Is there anyone else to come forward to answer?"

There was a commotion in the crowd, and soft whispers also rang out, that Liu Luming is the most educated person in Liujia Village, and he is also a Juren, why can't he answer?
As a result, each of them looked at Liu Luming full of doubts and sarcasm.

Liu Luming felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles under such eyes, but he was also a little dissatisfied. He looked at Lu Anran, his eyes gradually became threatening and cold.

Lu Anran closed her eyes, the color of her pupils became dark and inexplicable, then slowly got up, and said in a deep voice: "Since no one can..."

"As a commoner, you should be good at farming and cherish food; as an official, you should be diligent in government and love the people, and treat others with the courtesy of a gentleman; the people are diligent, the officials love, and the monarch is kind, this is still good, um... ..."

A child's voice suddenly sounded, speaking extremely fast, it seemed very abrupt at this time, but it disappeared in the middle of the sentence, as if his mouth was covered.

However, that voice has already attracted everyone, including Lu Anran, looking around, he saw a woman wrapped in a scarf tightly covering the dirty child beside her, with a nervous expression.

Seeing this, the people next to him scattered away, revealing a circle of open space.

The woman couldn't escape, she knelt down with a bang, and kowtowed vigorously: "My lord, forgive me, my lord, Zhan'er is ignorant and offends my lord, I hope my lord will forgive me!"

She begged for mercy while pulling the child to kneel down. The child pursed his lips, as if he was unwilling, but after glancing at his trembling mother, he still knelt down and said weakly: "Caomin shouldn't offend adults. I hope you will forgive me."

"Get up." Lu Anran sat down, watched them get up after thanking them, and then slowly said: "You are a filial person. Continue to talk."

The child was stunned for a moment, and after being pushed by his mother, he understood, and then he slowly opened his mouth: "People work hard and have a good harvest to live a stable life; officials are diligent and caring for the people, so the people will love them.

Farmers plow their fields, workers sharpen their tools, merchants trade their trades, scholars specialize in their merits, do their job well, be loyal, fulfill their duties, and benevolent and orderly. "

This explanation stunned everyone present except Lu Anran, even Lu Anran's mother, Liu Shi, slowly put down the teacup in her hand, looked at the child in surprise, then turned her eyes to look at the child. Lu Anran.

quiet!
No one spoke at this moment, they just quietly looked at the boy and the person in the first position.

The surroundings seem to have quieted down, light and shadow interlaced on the ground, and then shifted...

After a long time, she said, "What's your name?"
