The Nameless of the Common Clans

When Chen Jin returned to Chang'an, it was also the beginning of the third year of the Han Dynasty. After saying goodbye to Pang De and thanking Pang De, he went to Zang Hong's mansion to meet with Zang Hong. As his father's teacher, this etiquette was necessary. In Zang Hong's mansion, After lunch, Chen Jin went to Chang'an Academy with his luggage.

Except for the annual holidays, Chang'an Academy is basically not allowed to go out, and outsiders are not allowed to come in casually. Food and accommodation are all managed by the academy to prevent the academy students from being disturbed by the outside world. This academy is guarded by special soldiers and horses. .

After showing his identity card as an academy disciple, Chen Jin entered the academy, only to find that there was a depressing atmosphere in the entire academy.

"What happened?" Chen Jin returned to his dormitory. While making up his bed, he looked at his roommate in confusion. He was older than him and had been in the academy for three years. His name was Guo Huai, the son of the governor of Bingzhou. : "Why do you feel so depressed?"

"Sir, haven't you heard about the re-editing of the Minutes of the Three Studies?" Guo Huai looked at Chen Jin and said with a wry smile: "Nowadays, many students in the academy feel that even if they are successful in their studies, they may not have the opportunity to become officials. Although Mr. Ni Zhengping argued hard in the court, he was ultimately unable to do it alone. "

Chen Jin's identity is unknown to most academy disciples, but Guo Huai, as the son of Guo Mian, cannot be unaware of it. Even his arrangement as Chen Jin's classmate was arranged by the academy in order to protect Chen Jin and avoid Being bullied by some blind people.

"My father was quite in favor of these three studies. But you were not in Luoyang at that time. I don't know that the entire Luoyang scholar crowd was very angry at that time. My father avoided Xingyang, and the three princes came to visit him. There were some things that made my father very embarrassed. "Chen Jin sighed. He was still at home at that time, and celebrities from Luoyang kept coming to his door, disturbing his mother's purity. Chen Jin was also very annoyed about this.

Guo Huai nodded: "This academy was founded by the general. The Minutes of the Three Studies can be said to have organized the academy in the most perfect way. If there was no great resistance, the general would not be able to do this, alas~"

Strictly speaking, Guo Huai is considered a scholar. After all, Guo Jian is now the governor of Bingzhou. However, the Guo family is a family of generals. Guo Jian's attitude on this matter is also somewhat wavering. On the one hand, he wants to protect his wife as a scholar. However, on the other hand, Guo Jianjiu led troops at the frontier and knew that if he completely negated the Three Learning Minutes, it would definitely be a devastating blow to the morale of the army's officers and men. After all, hope has been seen before, but now someone has completely shut down this hope. No matter who it is, it will not be easy.

This is also the fundamental reason why the academy is rejected by aristocratic families. Most of the students in the academy are from poor families and have meritorious service. Like the children of aristocratic families, they are well-educated. There is no need to send their own children to the academy. It is impossible for the professors in the academy to be as good as Home is better.

Just like when Chen Jin was a child, Chen Mo personally helped him lay the foundation and taught him knowledge. In order for Chen Jin to understand the truth, he took Chen Jin to experience farm life. Ordinary people did not have this condition. After Chen Jin entered the academy, regardless of knowledge, They are among the best in the academy in terms of their moral character. This is one of the reasons why aristocratic families look down on the academy.

Without a famous teacher, the disciples he taught could not compare with the outstanding talents cultivated by aristocratic families. Chen Mo sent Chen Jin to the academy because he wanted Chen Jin to learn how to get along with others.

However, what makes the aristocratic family feel threatened is that the dozen or so disciples sent into the official career from Luoyang Academy are no worse than the heirs trained by the aristocratic family, and they have achieved outstanding political achievements. Facts have proved that family background is important, but it is not dominant. Many talented people, It's just that they have no way to get in, but as long as they are given a way, they can still reach a point where they are no worse than the children of the aristocratic family.

"This is how the game between the DPRK and China is." Chen Jin smiled and said: "I don't think you should be too pessimistic. My father spent ten years of hard work on the academy. Everyone can understand the minutes of the three studies. How could my father not understand? Now it is just a hindrance. Because of the obstacles, we have just compromised for the time being. Mr. Zhengping is still arguing with others in the court. These three principles of study will definitely be re-implemented. We just need to do a good job in learning. "

"What the young master said makes sense." Guo Huai nodded. He was not too worried. With his family background, he would be able to become an official in the future no matter what.

"But people's hearts must be appeased." Chen Jin felt that he should help to appease the emotions of the academy disciples. He looked at Guo Huai and said with a smile: "I will discuss this matter with everyone when I go to have dinner later."

"I will accompany the young master." Guo Huai nodded.

…

Naturally, Chen Mo is not too clear about the matters at Chang'an Academy. Cai Yan's mood has stabilized a bit in the past few days. Another year of spring plowing has arrived. Chen Mo is already presiding over the spring plowing. The disputes in the court have also come to an end for the time being. The Qiang rebellion in the northwest was suppressed by Xu Rong and Hua Xiong with iron-blooded means. Chen Mo did not let go of the rebels who appeared in various counties because of their restraint this time. Since they have emerged, they must be eradicated.

If it hadn't been for the Minutes of the Three Studies, Chen Mo would not have known that there were so many bandits and bandits under his rule. Even though he knew that these were probably related to the wealthy families, it still made Chen Mo angry. This was a denial of his ability. , a bit of a slap in the face, Ma Chao, Zhang Xiu, Pang De and other generals who had nothing to do for the time being were sent out by Chen Mo to suppress the bandits.

"Bang bang~" Chen Mo held a crossbow in the Luoyang school field. As the mechanism was triggered, two arrows were fired one after another, crossing a distance of sixty steps and accurately hitting the target. However, the two arrows were not on the target. The position was a bit far away, and the first arrow could still hit the bullseye, but if Chen Mo hadn't pressed it firmly, the second arrow might have missed the target.

"good!"

Even so, Chen Mo was a little happy. This was a repeating crossbow rather than a salvo crossbow. On the battlefield, firing two arrows in succession would have a better suppression effect.

After handing the repeating crossbow sent by the craftsman camp to Dian Wei, Chen Mo looked at Ma Jun beside him and said, "It's just that I can't control the strength. The second shot deflected badly, and once I pulled the trigger, the two shots Although they are shot one after another, they are not controlled by anyone. Can this be improved? Is it possible to achieve three consecutive shots, four consecutive shots or even more?”

"My lord, forgive me!" Ma Jun bowed quickly and said: "Once the repeating crossbow mechanism is triggered, it is difficult to stop; as for more consecutive shots, the crossbow body is too small and cannot accommodate so many. If you want to fire consecutively, The crossbow body must be enlarged. Once completed, it may not be smaller than the bed crossbow.”

"Bed crossbows can also be used. With such sharp weapons, if you put up a few of them when defending the city, it will be more difficult for the enemy to break the city. Even if the two armies confront each other, they can also gain the upper hand." Chen Mo waved his hand with a smile and said: "It is quite extraordinary for Deheng to be able to make this thing. What crime is he guilty of? Send an order to reward Deheng with a hundred pieces of brocade and one hundred thousand dollars. This thing is made and has contributed to the country. How can he be punished?"

"Thank you, Lord!" Ma Jun quickly bowed to thank him. During this period, the scholars made dirty remarks on the Three Studies and began to criticize Chen Mo for bringing the craftsmen into the court. Ma Jun, as the master craftsman, was the first to bear the brunt and was punished. There was a lot of pressure, which made Ma Jun quite panicked.

"As for the words of those in the court, Deheng should not take it to heart." Chen Mo comforted: "Do your own thing well, and I will take care of other things!"

He postponed the matter of the Minutes of the Three Studies, not because he was afraid of these people, but because he was worried that the attitude of the powerful families in Jizhou would affect the resistance he encountered in the fight for Jizhou, which would give Cao Cao an advantage. However, some people saw the success of the Minutes of the Three Studies. Later, he began to push further and couldn't see himself clearly, and began to attack the craftsman Zhonglang general and Diannong Zhonglang general that Chen Mo had set up before.

For these people, the trouble was too much. Chen Mo didn't mind just pressing him to death. Did he really regard his concession as weakness?

Because of the Minutes of the Three Studies, Chen Mo was holding back his anger. If these people wanted to suppress Chen Mo further without thinking about life and death, they would be hitting Chen Mo's knife edge.

"Thank you so much, my lord!" Ma Jun and others said gratefully.

"Make more things like this, whether they benefit the people or the army, as long as they can be made, it will be the greatest contribution to the court." Chen Mo said with a smile: "And this continuous crossbow, it is best to wait between two shots. The time can be longer, allowing people to reposition, and it is better to be able to shoot three shots in a row. After all, two shots are still less. "

Once the repeating crossbow is made, it will be very effective on the battlefield, especially the precise range and penetration of 60 steps. This power is not small. When the two armies are confronting each other, with three rows of such repeating crossbows, they can even directly Decide the outcome of a war.

Ma Jun nodded. The two-shot repeating crossbow was just a preliminary test. Although it was difficult to achieve the ten-shot continuous crossbow as Chen Mo said before, some modifications could be made to the three-shot crossbow. It was not impossible to meet Chen Mo's requirements.

"Don't worry, my lord, I will try to improve things right now!" Ma Jun saluted Chen Mo and bowed to leave.

"There's no rush." ​​Chen Mo nodded and said with a smile: "If you can really make a three-shot repeating crossbow, make more of them and let the army officers become more proficient."

"Here!" Ma Jun bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please retire!"

Ma Jun and others left. Chen Mo was still studying the new crossbow when he saw Dian Wei striding over and saluted Chen Mo: "My lord, Wen Yi is here."

"Let him come over." Chen Mo nodded and smiled.

Soon, Li Ru quickly came to Chen Mo, saluted Chen Mo and said: "My lord, Jizhou is here to report."

"A fight started?" Chen Mo's eyes lit up when he heard this and he asked.

"Never." Li Ru shook his head and said solemnly: "Yuan Shang ordered General Zhang He to lead his troops to Dai County. It seems that he wants to recapture Dai County."

Chen Mo frowned when he heard this. This is not good news. Zhang He led his army to the north. It is not just that Dai Jun is threatened. It also means that Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan seem to have reached a consensus. Yuan Shang actually started to dispatch troops from the hinterland to rush for reinforcements. Youzhou? If these two brothers join forces, it will not be easy for Jizhou to win.

"Go back home!" Chen Mo stood up and said, this matter needs to be studied carefully.
