Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 575

After Liu Chang rewarded Liu Wu, he hurried to the Tang Palace to participate in the banquet. Guan A was the last one in the group of sages to get married. At this banquet, the group of sages also discussed how to hold this wedding. They are all grown up, and they no longer have to obey the arrangements of their elders, but have to make their own decisions.

They drank wine and made up their minds that it would be lively and lively, singing, dancing and laughing all the way.

This is a good opportunity to gather a group of sages. However, it is still somewhat difficult to get all the sages present. Apart from other things, Zhou Shengzhi and Fan Husband must not be able to come back. Zhou Shengzhi still holds the Liu Chang's graffiti is looking for body poison everywhere, while Mrs. Fan is watching monkeys baring their teeth on Wa Island.

They all have bright futures.

After the celebration, Liu Chang, accompanied by Lu Lu, returned to the palace again. Walking on the road, Liu Chang suddenly sighed, looked at Lu Lu, and said with emotion: "I never thought before that if I am missing you, I will really do it." Nothing is convenient, in the future, you'd better follow me and never leave."

Hearing His Majesty's sincere words, Lu Lu's heart warmed up. Although His Majesty always extorts his money, beats himself to vent his anger when he is angry, blames himself for not getting things done well, and always makes himself bear the bad name, but Putting these aside, His Majesty is still very kind to himself.

At the very least, His Majesty regards himself as his absolute confidant, and takes himself with him wherever he goes.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, no matter where you go, I will definitely be by your side, even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire."

Liu Chang patted Lu Lu's shoulder in relief, "That's good."

"By the way, Lu, I've been a little tight recently. The main reason is that I just rewarded Liu Wu, and now I'm poor and penniless."

Lu Lu patted his chest, "Just open your mouth, Your Majesty, how much did you reward him?"

"Fifty gold!"

Fifty gold, to Lu Lu, is nothing at all. Lu Lu's family property is quite rich, and the Wuding Building has been opened to South Vietnam. With the development of business, various industries are getting bigger and bigger. In a textile factory in Xiting Kingdom, the annual tax paid to Xiting Kingdom accounted for [-]% of the tax revenue of the entire country of Xiting Kingdom.

Lu Lu probably doesn't know how much money he has now, anyway, everyone in Chang'an said that after Jian Jianhou, he could use gold to build a mansion for himself.The abuse of gold in the early Han Dynasty was very common. They used a large amount of gold to bury themselves and create various luxury goods for themselves.

This led to the fact that China has been in a state of serious lack of gold, and gold has changed from real gold to brass.
Lu Lu waved his big hand and borrowed it directly. Liu Chang was even more moved and held Lu Lu's hand tightly, "With a virtuous minister like you, what else do I need to worry about? Even if I send troops to fight against poisonous people, I am not afraid. As long as you are there, the body poison can be defeated!"

If other ministers heard this sentence, they must have been extremely excited and saluted, but Lu Lu heard it a little harshly, and he asked suspiciously: "Didn't your majesty want to steal my house to be poisoned?" "

"We brothers don't distinguish between each other, what's yours is mine, how could I copy your home?"

"That's right, why does His Majesty need to raid the house? His Majesty rewards the Marquis of Huaiyin every year. The Marquis of Huaiyin's house is worse than the one that was quarreled with. Your Majesty really doesn't need to raid the house, just take it."

"Hey, by the way, I haven't seen the teacher for several days, and he also disappeared. The teacher dragged him outside the city and buried him?"

"I went to pick up my wife's house. The Marquis of Huaiyin seems to be with the Marquis of Quni. There are some old dogs in the court. I don't see Marquis Huaiyin and Marquis Quni getting along well. There is a lot of talk about them. I worry about the Marquis of Huaiyin all day long. Colluding with Qu Nihou to plot rebellion"

"These old dogs, really have nothing to do?"

Liu Chang was a little angry, and then he asked again: "Speaking of the old dog, I suddenly remembered, Xia Wuqie, has he come back?"

"Not yet. It is said that the medicinal properties of the medicinal materials he cultivated in other places have changed. Therefore, he decided to change his strategy, divide the plantations according to special products, and send his disciples to plant them on a large scale to reduce the price of medicinal materials."

"Well, remember to let me know if he comes back."

Lu Lu pursed his lips. He felt that the old man was probably going to die outside.

"By the way, send someone to protect Wu's scorpion, so that they won't trouble him again."

"only."

Liu Wu came to the gate of Taixue, watched the scholars coming in and out, and was filled with emotions. He used to hate reading the most, and even took pleasure in teasing scholars. When he was young, he ordered his father's Several doormen beat each other until one of them died.

The guests refused, so he asked the soldiers to hang it on the tree and beat them with a whip. Later, the elder father learned about this and wanted to beat him severely. The mother cried and begged for mercy, and was punished for him and was whipped.

Liu Wu had never experienced the feeling of being whipped. Until these four years of corvee, as long as he worked a little slower, the whip would come over him. He did not know how much he had suffered. Zhongdu was healed, he had already died in the corvee.

When he was whipped for the first time, Liu Wu just wanted to beat the whips back. After that, he just kept silent until the third year, when he stroked the healed wound on his body at night, he felt inexplicably guilty. , It turns out that being bullied and whipped is what it feels like.

All the past made him regret.

He himself has experienced a lot and seen a lot. He saw that people were frozen to death because of corvée. Although the temple had subsidies and officials were punished, the subsidies were not as good as the money Liu Wu spent on his first trip. He saw Some people took the initiative to ask for corvee labor because they could not eat.

There are people who have committed crimes and served corvee for five or six years. Their whole body has become like a skeleton, as numb as a dead person, completely empty, unable to talk or negotiate. They will only obey the orders of officials and continue to do things until they die.

Liu Wu felt unprecedented fear at that moment, and for the first time he understood the power of the criminal law.

Now, standing in front of the Taixue, he looks at those enthusiastic people walking together with laughter and laughter. There are no officials holding whips, no ruthless soldiers, no mourning civilians, no one who fell to the ground and died. Prisoner, what a place this is.

Liu Wu took a deep breath, and walked into Taixue surrounded by several soldiers.

The Taixue is very large, with four Shangfang at the top of the scale. In Chang'an City, it is probably the largest building other than the imperial palace. There is a Northern Army Academy in the suburbs, which may surpass it, and nothing else.

The scholars inside seemed to be busy, and there were no officials who came to receive them. Liu Wu had experienced a lot, and he was not afraid of unfamiliar places. He directly found a person and asked where to report. Guided by enthusiastic students, he quickly found the place to report.

The person in charge of registering the new students was a white-haired old man, his hearing was not very good, and he had to repeat a sentence two or three times. If Liu Wu had the original character, he would definitely be humiliated, but at this moment, Liu Wu is very skilled. Talk to him, Liu Wu knows how to communicate with such a person.

Because there were many similar people among his original companions.

After learning of Liu Wu's identity, the old man couldn't help being startled. He raised his head to look at Liu Wu, and said a few words indistinctly. Liu Wu smiled wryly and nodded.

The soldier couldn't hear the old man's words clearly, but Liu Wu could hear them clearly.

The old man took out a few wooden signs and placed them in front of Liu Wu. These are optional courses, and the classification is very complicated. There are Mo, Huang Lao, and Confucianism. Of course, each of them has a detailed division. There are music, soldiers, yin and yang, five elements, medicine, agriculture
Liu Wu originally wanted to get a farmer's sign, but he suddenly noticed a brand new wooden sign beside him. He picked it up and looked at it, "What is this for?"

On the wooden sign, there are two characters written, "Kan Yu".

The old man said ambiguously: "The geologists look up at the sky, look down at the geography, Luo, sun, Xuan, burial, shape."

"That's it."

The old man was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "There are not many people who are hard to learn."

"No problem, just this."

Soon, Liu Wu found the teaching place, which was indeed relatively remote, and was already close to the courtyard wall. He stood at the door and looked inside. There were only three or four students inside, and a middle-aged man with a shaking beard. The middle-aged man was short in stature, his eyebrows were almost connected together, but his beard was very long, and his beard would tremble constantly when he spoke.

The man was talking hard, when he suddenly saw someone standing outside the door, he stopped talking, walked up in a hurry, grabbed Liu Wu's hand, "Well done, well done, I'm at the point where I'm talking The beauty, come and listen, listen to it!"

A few students in the classroom suddenly woke up, raised their heads, and looked towards the door, their eyes were full of sadness, good guy, another unlucky guy was caught.

Before Liu Wu could speak, he was directly dragged into the classroom by that man. The man was not tall but had great strength. The soldiers stepped forward suspiciously, and the man looked at the soldiers again, "Oh, There are so many people, come, come, come in and listen too!"

He went forward to arrest the soldier again, but the soldier was dumbfounded.

"No.. I'm here to protect, I'm not a student."

"It's okay, it's okay, it's better to protect it when you come in, and who said that only students can learn? Come on!"

The teacher enthusiastically pulled them in, and with a smile on his face, he stood on the top again, looking at the people below, with some relief in his eyes.

That's great, it's the first time there are so many people in Kanyu's church!
As soon as Liu Wu sat down, the students on the side sighed in a low voice, "Jun, you shouldn't come near here. I just came here to study. When he found out, he dragged me in and didn't let me go. From now on I will be Will never come near here again”

"Why would he do that?"

"This Luo Gong is also a strange person in Taixue. He is pulling someone to see. A few days ago, a servant brought food to their young Patriarch. He got here because he got lost, and he was directly dragged in to study for two hours. Kanyu, I heard that the servant was about to cry, so Lord Luo let him go."

"The kanyu family was quite famous in 400, but now, who will learn from them? There are five elements to study astronomy, construction, Mohism, geography, and Yinyang school. Which one is not more famous than their kanyu school? Which is not better than them?"

"Moreover, you can enter Shangfang if you learn Mohism, and you can go to Shaofu if you learn Yinyang and Five Elements. What do you think you can do if you learn Gemyu? Where can you go?? To do corvée?"

Liu Wu frowned, "The corvee is also very important, but when it comes to governing the country, how can you do without the corvee?"

The student was taken aback for a moment, and then ignored him.

Suddenly so many people came, the teacher was very happy, he danced and started to talk about the knowledge of geography, their geography is completely different from the geography of the Yin-Yang family, the geography of the Yin-Yang family is about the region The division of the world, the cognition of the world and so on.

And their geography is based on feng shui, where they can break ground, where they are suitable for burial, where they are suitable for building a city, and where they are suitable for digging canals. The teacher spoke very hard, and he even took out several maps and explained in detail, "Actually The five elements learned from us, they say that warehouses belong to soil and should be built on dry land.”

"This is because the warehouse is prone to fire, and the damage will be extremely high."

The man spoke dryly, but the students below just lowered their heads, absent-minded. They didn't come to learn this, and they didn't have any interest in it.

Only Liu Wu, frowning, listened to his analysis seriously.

He then talked about the project. He used Longxi as an example. He used the map of Longxi to explain the geomantic omens of various places in Longxi, and then talked about his own cleaning plan. If he made it, how would he repair the roads? Wait, the more Liu Wu listened to it, the more he felt it made sense.

The teacher talked for more than two hours, and the soldier who accompanied Liu Wu was in a daze. This is too good to say. Seeing that everyone was almost unable to hold on, the teacher just finished it Course, and then persuade those students one by one.

"Remember to come again in the future. Our course is also very good. In fact, there are many things to learn. Observing astronomy will help you know when to start construction, and you will know how to avoid those disasters. Observing geography is fine."

The Tai students are still qualified, even though they were forcibly pulled here, even though they were very unhappy, at least they smiled and nodded in agreement when facing the teacher.

There is still respect, but it's hard to say whether I will come again next time.

The teacher finally looked at Liu Wu, took his hand, and said the same way, "In the future, you should come often, our school."

"Teacher, I only choose this course at present."

Liu Wu took out the wooden sign, but now it seems that this proof of reading is no longer needed. This teacher doesn't care whether you have the wooden sign or not, once you come, you can't leave.

When he saw the wooden sign in Liu Wu's hand, the teacher was stunned. He quickly grabbed the wooden sign and looked at it carefully. He looked at it for a long time, and then asked uncertainly: "Did you choose this course?" class??"

"Yeah, I'm very interested in these, and I chose this course on purpose."

"Then you will come again?"

"I may have to stay in Taixue for two years, and I will definitely come to study with you during these two years"

The teacher's expression changed from surprise to surprise, then to sadness, and finally to surprise again. His expression changed very quickly, and he adjusted quickly.

"Okay, okay. I thought the Kanyu family would be broken in my hands."

"My name is Luo Jian, and I am the contemporary leader of the Kanyu family."

Liu Wu paid him a serious visit, "Student Liu Wu is the prince of Chu. He made a mistake before, but he has corrected it now. He will definitely study hard in the future."

"Prince Chu??"

"Okay, good people are alive, everyone will make mistakes, the most important thing is to be able to correct mistakes, then from now on, you will be my big disciple."

"Big disciple?? Teacher Kanyu, how many people are there?"

Luo Zuo was silent for a moment, and said bitterly: "There are many out there, but they all went astray, because a lot of knowledge collided with other great sects, so they all gave up and began to specialize in tomb studies with less competition. Specially select a favorable burial place for nobles"

"But they have given up on astronomy, geography and engineering, which we regard as fundamental. I am the only one who is still studying these things."

From the teacher's mouth, Liu Wu heard a deep sadness.

There are still many schools today, some are on the way to prosperity, some are on the way to decline, but he has never seen the ones that are really on the verge of extinction. No wonder he can't wait to pull everyone in to learn
"Teacher, don't worry, many people despise engineering, but they don't know that this is the foundation of governing the country. I have never seen the knowledge of the Mohists, but I have seen the people in charge of the corvee. Many of them are not Not proficient, don’t know how to save effort.”

"Such a useful school of thought will surely not perish."

"Hahaha, okay, wait a moment"

Luo Jian dug out a lot of books, most of these books were bamboo slips, and they were dated at first glance, he handed all these books to Liu Wu, "Take all these and read them, these are the classics of our school , you must go back and take a look.”

"only."

"You will come tomorrow, right?"

"Teacher, I will definitely come"

"well"

When Liu Wu left here, the two soldiers had already picked up the thick bamboo slips, and their faces were not very good. They would rather go to Xiting Kingdom to fight than listen to the old man's nagging here, which is too much. It's terrible, I have to try to rotate with others tomorrow.

Liu Wu frowned, still thinking about what the teacher said just now, he had personally been to those places in Longxi, thinking about the teacher's analysis, it seemed that it was really the same thing
As for Luo Jian, after finishing today's class, he left here with a smile. Along the way, almost all the Tai students who knew him would hide their faces and avoid them, because these people had promised him to attend the class again, but they all Did not go.

This situation is very embarrassing. Every time a student goes there and sees the teacher sitting alone, and then greets them with a smile, they can only bite the bullet and sit down and listen. They are really embarrassed to leave
Luo Zuo didn't pay attention to these dishonest people, and returned to the mansion happily. He couldn't help but took out his best wine, then sat in the study, and ate the wine in big gulps.

He laughed loudly and for a long time, then bowed his head and began to cry.
