I, Liu Bian, Sanxing Han Dynasty

Chapter 316 County School
Early summer is not the season for killing people.

However, the emperor wanted to kill people.

Liu Hong was one of the Nine Qings after all, and he had to be given some dignity, but his disciples who participated in it were different, including some of the most popular scholars who preached that "Ma Rixi and Yang Xu were punished by God for being greedy for power." , were all dragged to the horse market east of Luoyang.

Of course it's not to parade in the streets, it's just to prevent them from saying such things again.

Some of the accomplices either moved to the border or worked as laborers.

For a time, the entire Luoyang became much quieter.

People finally realized that even if eunuchs were not used, the emperor's wrath was not something ordinary people could bear.

Although not everyone is in danger, some people who are used to talking loudly always think about it before speaking and touch their necks.

In the eyes of the courtiers, Taifu Lu Zhi, the only one qualified and capable to stop the emperor, avoided talking about the matter throughout the whole process.

In fact, it is acquiescence.

But the state affairs are heavy, how can we let them go?

Personally speaking, Ma Rixi was Lu Zhi's good friend. Although there were some differences in political opinions in the past two years, gentlemen are harmonious but different. At most, the two of them reduced their private contacts to avoid suspicion, and their friendship was not shaken by this.

But the other person Lu Zhi disappeared without thinking, but when faced with Zheng Xuan's visit, Lu Zhi couldn't refuse.

In subsequent decisions, it was decided that Guang Luxun, who was left vacant after Liu Hong's death, should be replaced by Wang Qian, the official of Guanglu and Wang Can's father. In fact, Liu Bian's preferred candidate was Huang Wan, the imperial servant, but Guang Luxun involved the selection of officials. Especially the most common investigation is that Xiaolian became the county magistrate, and Huang Wan has now arrived in Xuzhou, beyond his reach.

Lu Zhi's external explanation was that he was busy cleaning up the two messes in Taiwei's Mansion and Situ's Mansion.

"I intend to move Yang Gong to serve as a servant. I don't have to perform my duties, so I can rest assured and recover first. I will move Jin Wu Cui Lie to be a disciple. Cui Gong was a disciple. I will regain control of the palace and avoid chaos."

Although there were subordinate officials in the Sangong Mansion, and sometimes the powers of the three Gongs could be exchanged with each other, two of the three Gongs lost their lives due to illness, and the remaining one, Fan Ling, lacked prestige because of his past collusion with eunuchs. The Sangong Mansion cooperated upwards with the Chancellery, and downwardly with the appointment, removal and punishment of officials from the five states who were at a critical moment.

Neither Lu Zhi nor He Miao had any objection to this decision.

It makes sense.

Lu Zhi sighed softly. He knew his body well.

Lu Zhi is obviously not much older than Zheng Xuan, but compared to Zheng Xuan, he is clearly older.

From a public perspective, compared with his status as Grand Tutor and Imperial Master, Lu Zhi's family was not a burden to him at all, nor a vested interest at all, but at most a potential member.

The next day, in Yuntai Hall, Liu Bian said to Lu Zhi and He Miao: "According to Hua Tuo's words, Situ Yanggong's health will be difficult to improve in a short time and needs to rest."

What Zheng Xuan could notice, Liu Bian also noticed.

Zheng Xuan originally wanted to say something about the chaos in Luoyang during this period, but looking at Lu Zhi who could not hide his fatigue and old posture, he swallowed his words and asked with concern: "The Taiwei and Situ are both ill. Be careful, Ziqian must pay attention..."

Liu Hong ruined the country's strategy and directly caused Ma Rixi to lie on the hospital bed again. Lu Zhi was already very upright without taking the initiative to be cruel.

The vacant candidates of Zhijinwu and Guangludafu can be used to appoint internal and external ministers who will make great achievements in the future. They are not related to official administration like Guangluxun and need to be decided urgently.

As for the post of Taiwei, if Ma Rixi remains ill for a long time, the Taiwei will be reserved for the cavalry general Huangfu Song. After all, the general of Kaifu is a temporary move, and there is no need to set up more.

...In Xuzhou, not only Huang Wan arrived here, but He Jin also arrived.

He Jin's first stop for inspecting the restoration of local county schools was Yingchuan.

Private schools in Yingchuan were the most prosperous, but his county schools were run very well, and most of the people who benefited were poor children. Li Min, the prefect of Yingchuan, would also invite famous scholars from Yingchuan to come to the county to give lectures, which looked particularly beautiful.

The only problem is that the literature and other knowledge taught in the county school are not as good as those of the local scholars. Most of the students in the county school yearn for private schools, and there are even some who are county students but often attend classes in private schools.

Problematic, but acceptable.

But after leaving Yingchuan County, He Jin felt that one place was not as good as the other.

Runan County is a county with a large population, but the number of students in the county is only about the same as that of Yingchuan County. But in fact, the population of Runan County is six to seven million more than that of Yingchuan County. This means that there are three more filial piety quotas every year.

Xu Qiu, the prefect of Runan, had a reputation as a virtuous man. The number of students in the county was not as high as that of Yingchuan, but the proportion of poor children was still considerable, which made He Jin optimistic about the upcoming trip.

Although Chen Guo's school is not very good, it is not too outrageous because Luo Jun, the former prime minister of Chen Guo, had a good foundation.

Liang Guoxiang was Zhao Yan, the former governor of Qingzhou. He was deposed because of the Yellow Turbans caused by the late emperor during his eastern tour, and was later reinstated. He was an honest man, and the population of Liang State was not large. He was at the top when the floods occurred in the past, so the disaster situation It's considered light.

The situation is similar to that of Pei State, which is affiliated to the Yuzhou Governor's Department, except that it has more land and population, and Pei's Prime Minister Chen Gui is quite talented. The county schools in the two places are not comparable to Yingchuan, but they are both decent.

During the whole process, except for warning Prime Minister Chen Guoguo, under the persuasion of Wang Lang and Bing Yuan, he did not give random instructions and did nothing.

Until this time, He Jin felt that Liu Bian was overqualified for sending him to do this.

But he didn't realize that this was the peak from the beginning.

Immediately afterwards, he came to Xuzhou.

Because of the disasters that hit the four counties in the past, Xuzhou has been in the stage of restoring production in recent years. Some of the people who fled originally simply did not come back after finding a living in the surrounding counties.

The overall people's livelihood is poor, and it is not surprising that the schools in these four counties are in poor condition.

Especially for He Jin, who had just arrived from Yuzhou, the difference between the two situations was too obvious.

Wang Lang was a native of Donghai, so he felt ashamed when he saw this situation.

Ba Zhuan, the governor of Xuzhou, was very busy. After entertaining Huang Wan, he was busy entertaining former general He Jin.

Facing the half-collapsed school building in front of him, Ba Zhu also said plausibly: "When I was studying in the past, the conditions were even more difficult. Didn't I achieve something in the end?"

These words made Wang Lang couldn't help but hold his forehead. He and his friends Zhao Yu and Zhang Zhao didn't like Ba Zhuan for this reason.

Being frugal is not a bad thing, but it doesn’t always mean you should be frugal.

However, the matter of the county school involved two thousand stones, and strictly speaking it had nothing to do with the governor. What Ba Zhu said was at most a defense for Donghai Prime Minister Ha Xi.

But now it is early summer, the grass and trees are beginning to grow wildly, and mosquitoes are beginning to breed. These school buildings, which were overturned by floods a few years ago, are still here, which is ironic in contrast to Ba Zhuan's words.

I don’t know if Ba Zhuan really excused Donghai Xiang.
