Cao Thief

Chapter 271 A Great Transcript of the World’s Articles (13)

Zhuyejian is subordinate to the Shaofu, but independent from the Shaofu.

In fact, under the rule of the Shaofu, there are two government offices of a very special nature.One is the official office of Captain Shuiheng, which supervises the building of boats and equipment; the other is the official office of Captain Zhuye, which supervises the manufacture of military equipment, armor, and various iron objects.The captain of Shuiheng is now in name only, and Liu Ye, the Shaofu, is concurrently in charge.But Captain Zhuye is indeed a real yamen. On the one hand, it belongs to the Shaofu, and on the other hand, it is under the jurisdiction of the Sikong Mansion.

However, generally speaking, the Zhuye Mansion is still under the rule of the Shaofu, at least in name, and must obey the supervision of the Shaofu Liu Ye.

Due to the nature of the work, the Zhuye Mansion did not set up an official office in the imperial city, but set up a separate office in Xilixu, the capital of Xu.Adjacent to the bank of Xudu Xiuchun Gate, it covers an area of ​​0.6 incline, about 4 square meters.The door is very high, and there is a stone carving of an ancient gold swallowing beast on each side.

Going inside, all matters of Zhuye Mansion are handled in the vestibule.

There are three entrances and three exits. There is a nave in the center, and there are statues of great craftsmen such as Gongshu Pan and Ou Yezi on the facade.

Liu Ye didn't usually manage Zhuyejian very much, but after Zhuyejian was upgraded to a mansion, he came less frequently.But today, Liu Ye is here to find a piece of information.He himself is also a master craftsman of the mechanism, and some information about the mechanism is usually hidden in the library of Zhuye Mansion.Therefore, even a person like Liu Ye who has a huge collection of books at home needs to go to Zhuye Mansion when looking for professional information.

The work of Zhuye Mansion is very complicated.

The smelting of the whole country, as well as the needs of various supplies and equipment, must be reported by the various smelters, and then distributed.

There are more than a hundred officials and miscellaneous servants here, which can be regarded as a very specific functional department.When Liu Ye came to Zhuye Mansion, the officials were busy.Cao Cao ordered Zhuyefu to speed up the manufacture of military equipment, so that the soldiers and horses of Yuzhou, especially Yingchuan Chenjun, including Chenliu, could be replaced by the end of the year.At the same time, Zhuye Mansion also undertook the supervision of the manufacture of agricultural implements such as Cao Gongli.Haixi submitted a form in the first month, requesting [-] Caogong plows... These things also have to be supervised by the Zhuye Mansion.

In short, there are no major issues in Zhuye Mansion, but there are many minor issues.

Although more than a hundred people were busy, they were organized and there was no chaos.

"What are these signs?"

Pointing to the signs hanging on the doors of each room, Liu Ye couldn't help asking curiously.

"Back to Shao Liu's Mansion. This was built by Captain Cao, so that those who come to deliver news and submit official documents can find the people they belong to without asking."

Liu Ye nodded slightly, and asked the accompanying official, "Is everything normal in the mansion?"

"everything is normal."

After the official finished speaking, he suddenly burst out laughing out of recognition.

"What are you laughing at?"

"It's just, it's just... Captain Cao seems to have an extra interest recently... Also, we discovered that Captain Cao can actually read."

"Oh?"

"Captain Cao has been in a state of obscurity lately. He has been muttering all day long, and he doesn't know what he is talking about... What is the mystery of the world, the prehistoric universe... Anyway, it is very interesting. Everyone is guessing that Captain Cao read this What books, and they are all very curious."

"I am also very curious."

Hearing this, Liu Ye could not help but smile slightly.

He is not very familiar with Cao Ji.

However, because Deng Ji supported Liang Xi, whom he had recommended, Liu Ye felt a little uncomfortable.Ever since, even Cao Ji was implicated, and Liu Ye didn't like him very much.Fortunately, Cao Ji had been working in Xingyang before, so Liu Ye couldn't find any trouble with him.Now that Cao Ji is back, and Deng Ji has indeed achieved outstanding achievements in Haixi, Liu Ye's little resentment has disappeared.

"What is Captain Cao doing now?"

"It seems to be reading in the public room behind..."

"Take me over there."

Liu Ye suddenly became interested and asked the official to take him to see Cao Ji.

A group of people walked through the path and came to the public house in the backyard.The place where Cao Ji works is actually an independent courtyard with two rows of wing rooms on the facade.One side is used for receiving guests, and the other side can be used for Cao Ji to rest.The door of the public room was open, but Cao Ji was not in the room.

The handyman said that Cao Ji had just left and would be back in a while.

Liu Ye thought to himself: Anyway, this Cao Junshi is also an official under my rule.I haven't seen him since he took office.Anyway, there is nothing to do today, so I simply wait and see him.It is said that the third captain of the Cao family, I want to see it...

Thinking of this, Liu Ye waved his hand to signal the officials to back down.

Standing in the public room, I looked around and nodded slightly.

Cao Ji's public house, that is, the office, is about 200 square meters.There are no arty utensils, just a table and a few couches.Not all books are placed on the bookshelves, but there are blueprints and rough models of various utensils.

Thinking about it, it was Cao Ji's daily research.

The rooms are large and modest.

Outside the window, there is a bamboo forest, which is lush and refreshing.

The wind blows in and feels very comfortable.Liu Ye sat down on the couch, glanced around, and saw a booklet on the desk.

About ten sheets, bound with silk thread.

Letter: Eight hundred characters.

There is also a line of small characters next to it: If you hear the Tao in the morning, you can die in the evening.What Jiaer expects is especially not to be missed.

What my precious son expects, as a father, I will never let my precious son down.

After Liu Ye saw it, he couldn't help laughing.

He reached out and picked up the booklet.Turning over the title page, I saw the words on the first page: My father doesn't work hard, Ah'er is very sad.If you work hard every day, is there any day of regret?

The most interesting thing is that there is a cartoon sketch every two lines.

One is a teenager with tears streaming down his face; the other is a black-bearded man with a big grin.

This is a typical drawing method of later generations of comics, the picture is extremely cartoony, but it is clear at a glance.After Liu Ye saw it, he couldn't help laughing out loud.

He shook his head again and again, thinking: The Caos and his sons are interesting people.

However, if you hear the Tao in the morning, you can die in the evening... well said, well said!
Liu Ye turned a page, only to see that it said: Heaven and earth are mysterious and yellow, the universe is flooded and desolate, the sun and the moon are full, and the celestial constellations are listed.Cold comes and summer goes, harvested in autumn and stored in winter, and the rest of the year is a year old, and the law is adjusted to the sun.

At first, Liu Ye didn't pay much attention to it, and read it all the way with the idea of ​​killing time.

Each column of eight characters, a group of four characters.

Eight columns per page, 64 characters in total.Including the cover, title page and bottom, there are a total of 800 sheets, about [-] characters.

Liu Ye gradually discovered that after reading all the way, none of the [-] characters was repeated.

The combination of eight hundred characters covers astronomy and geography, military history, fishing and farming, and allusions from ancient times.The more Liu Ye looked at it, the more surprised he became, and the more he looked at it, the more incredible he felt.Eight hundred square characters are combined into an unprecedented good article, easy to understand, but profound in meaning.

It can be seen that the person who wrote these [-] characters deliberately took into account Cao Ji's low level of education.

Think about the two cartoons on the title page, and that weird five-character quatrain.Liu Ye immediately guessed who wrote the book.

"Ah, my subordinate Cao Ji, I didn't know Liu Shaofu came here, and I never greeted him from afar. Please forgive me."

At this moment, Cao Ji came in from the outside.

Liu Ye shuddered Lingling and looked up at Cao Ji.

I saw Cao Ji, who was eight feet tall and burly.Wearing a dark blue gown, he revealed a touch of elegance in his burly body.

Liu Ye's gaze suddenly became softer.

At this time, Cao Ji became very cute in his eyes.

Especially Cao Ji's beard reminded him of the grinning portrait in the comics, and he couldn't help laughing.

"Jun Shi, don't be too polite, I also passed by occasionally today, what's your fault?"

After speaking, Liu Ye stood up, walked over and grabbed Cao Ji's arm.

This also made Cao Ji suddenly feel flattered.And Liu Ye's followers were all stunned.Who doesn't know that Liu Ye and Liu Ziyang are extremely arrogant.On weekdays, even if he was with Kong Rong and other celebrities, he was rarely so kind.

how……

"Jun Shi, are you still used to this Zhuye Mansion?"

Cao Ji scratched his head and smiled honestly, "I'm not used to it. I've been in the workshop for a long time, and I'm used to the sound of blacksmithing, and it suddenly became so quiet... Haha, but it doesn't matter, it will be fine after a while."

It is no wonder that it is always uncomfortable for a person who has worked at the grassroots level for many years to sit in an office.

Liu Ye didn't care, and chatted with Cao Ji for a while, then suddenly changed the subject and shook the booklet in his hand.

"Jun Shi, who wrote this?"

Cao Ji was stunned, and immediately replied: "It's my family's Fu... oh, it was written by Cao Peng, the captain of the cavalry. Hehe, he wanted me to read and write, but I'm so old, I'm not used to it. Fu, oh, Quanzi thought hard all night, and came up with this 500-character essay, and asked his aide, Mr. Kan Ze, to teach me. Mr. Kan said, Quanzi’s [-]-character essay is a strange one, and it may not come out once in [-] years.

I don't understand it, but I find it catchy and easy to remember.

Memorize twenty words every day, and then go home and write dozens of times silently, but I have gained a lot of knowledge..."

"Not only once in 500 years, since Gaozu Xinghan, I am afraid that even Sima Xiangru and Dongfang Shuo may not be able to write such articles."

Liu Ye said seriously: "Jun Shi, how can such a good essay be enjoyed by itself.

I want to borrow it and copy it at home. Is it possible? "

Cao Ji nodded ignorantly and said, "Why not, Ah Fu, Gouzi wrote three volumes for the officials, one in his hands and one in the hands of Mr. Kan Ze. The Shaofu just take it, I'll go home Let Quanzi copy a copy for me later, why be polite?"

He really didn't understand the meaning contained in these [-] words.

Liu Ye heaved a sigh of relief, and looked at Cao Ji with complicated eyes, a little envious in his heart.

Such a good son, how could he be the son of such a fool?However, with such a good son, this guy will have a bright future.

Liu Ye is not clear about the fact that Cao Ji and Cao Cao are of the same clan.

At the beginning, Cao Ji only mentioned this matter to Xun Yu and Guo Jia by accident, and later Cao Nan mentioned it to Mrs. Wu, and then Cao Cao, Cao Zhen, Cao Pi and Xia Houzhen knew about it.And after Cao Ji returned to Xudu, Cao Cao didn't have time to talk to him.In addition to the matter of returning to the clan and recognizing the ancestors, it does not mean that returning to the clan and recognizing the ancestors means returning to the clan and recognizing the ancestors. A lot of things need to be done for research...

The reason why Liu Bei was able to return to his clan and recognize his ancestors and become a legitimate Han family clan was because of a sentence from the Han Emperor.

The clan is weak and needs strong people to appear.Liu Xie himself also hoped that the clan could become stronger, so he pushed the boat along.

But as far as the clan is concerned, sometimes it is more complicated than the royal family.

Cao Peng didn't tell Cao Ji either, but just asked him to read and write to prepare for the future.

In order to improve Cao Ji's interest in learning, Cao Peng took great pains.It's really thanks to his father in the previous life, who was a scholar of ancient Chinese.Cao Peng's enlightenment readings in his previous life were Thousand Characters, Hundred Surnames, Three Character Classic and Disciple Rules.However, in comparison, the Three Character Classic and Disciple Rules are a bit far away from this era, so many of the contents are inappropriate.The thousand-character prose is different. It was written during the period of Emperor Wu of Liang in the Southern Dynasty, and the author was Zhou Xingsi, the servant of Sanqi.It is only 300 years since the writing of the Thousand-Character Classics. Whether it is flat or flat, or the format of the writing, it is in line with the habits of the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.But even so, Cao Peng also gave up a lot of energy.

First of all, he had to silently write down all the thousand-character essays.

Then we need to erase the content that does not fit the background of this era...

After going back and forth, he crossed out [-] characters, and it became the current [-]-character text.

As soon as the [-]-character text came out, both Kan Ze and Huang Yueying were shocked.Huang Yueying immediately copied a copy and put it by her side to study. On weekdays, she can also use the [-]-character text to explain and teach Zhang and Cao Nan. On the one hand, it can enhance the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and on the other hand, it can also strengthen the knowledge and cultivation of Zhang's mother and daughter. .After all, the [-]-character text was written by Cao Peng. As Cao Peng's mother and sister, how could he be illiterate?

It is not only Zhang and Cao Nan who can only know half of it, but Bu Luan and Guo Huan need to read it well and recite it backwards.

This is the root of a family's rise...

In the future, it can even be used as the inheritance of the Cao family.

When a family has something that can be passed on (the inheritance here is not a material inheritance, but a spiritual and cultural inheritance), it means that it has the capital to become a family.Huang Yueying came from an aristocratic family, so she naturally understood it very clearly.

Coupled with Cao Peng's unique insights in the "Lun", it also has the significance of inheritance.

Although he only wrote one piece of "Xue Er", in Huang Yueying's opinion, if Cao Peng can really comment on "The Analects of Confucius", it will be enough to become a master.

Cao Ji didn't understand Cao Peng and Huang Yueying's painstaking efforts.

But Cao Ji, who bears the ardent expectations of Ai'er, is also determined not to disappoint Cao Peng.

However, Cao Ji didn't know what kind of changes this [-]-character essay would bring to him.

When facing Liu Ye, he still showed a trace of fear out of instinct, but compared to the beginning, he has made great progress.

Liu Ye got this volume of "Eight Hundred Characters", and he didn't want to stay any longer.

After chatting with Cao Ji for a few more words, he took his leave and left.

Carrying the "Eight Hundred Character Essay" in his arms, Liu Ye hurried out of Zhuye Mansion.He boarded the carriage and said to the driver: "Go, go to Sikong Mansion immediately."
