Han Dao world

Human appetite is always limited.Too little to live on.But after reaching a certain amount, there is no point in having more.

If the yield per mu can be increased, much less land is needed to support a family, and the need to save land will not be so urgent.

Compared with lectures, perhaps agricultural schools are the real hope to alleviate the land problem.

It's just... It's a bit embarrassing for the realization of the kingly way to depend on such a villain as marrying a scorpion.If this is the case, who will care about the teachings of saints in the future? Are such scholars still disciples of Confucianism?

But I have to admit that the method Shi Tao mentioned is indeed one of the best methods so far.

Xun Chen's mind was a little messed up.

"Studying agronomy may increase the yield. But if the yield is increased, the household registration will also increase. After all, you still have to spend the land." Mao Jie pondered: "Besides, even if you spend the land, this problem cannot be solved. How can you realize the kingly way? ?”

Shi Tao praised: "Mr. Mao is worthy of being a famous person with political experience, and his words are right. It is true that agriculture cannot solve all problems, but at least it can help. My ability is limited, and I am satisfied if I can do my best to realize the kingly way. As for the fundamental avenue, let such great talents as Xun Jun and Mao Jun think about it. As the Son of Heaven said, if the monarch and his ministers are of one mind and the four people work together, they can always think of a solution."

He raised his teacup. "Welcome to Taixue, both of you, to rejuvenate the kingly way together."

Xun Chen and Mao Jie glanced at each other and raised their glasses in embarrassment.

-

After eating a fairly sumptuous lunch in the agricultural school, Xun Chen and Mao Jie bid farewell to Shi Tao and went out together.

Along the spacious street, passing through the hustle and bustle of people, the two walked slowly, each silent, with a heavy heart.

Especially Mao Jie.

He has been in Taixue for a few days, and he also visited the School of Confucianism, knowing that the conditions of the School of Confucianism are far inferior to those of the School of Agriculture.According to Shi Tao, the food in engineering school and business school may not be as good as that in agricultural school, but it is definitely not worse than that in classics school.

As for the lecture hall with the best conditions, that's not to mention.

The students in the lecture hall have to practice martial arts and have better food, which is directly arranged by the emperor.Some scholars from poor families who cannot support themselves chose the lecture hall because the food there is good.Even if they can't enter the lecture hall, they will give preferential treatment to choose the agriculture school and the engineering school instead of the classics school.

Therefore, the imperial court seems to be equal, but in fact it pays the least attention to the Confucian School. In the future, the number of students applying for the Confucian School will inevitably be limited. Most of those who come here for lectures may end up in the lecture hall, agricultural school, and engineering school. , Students of business school.

Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

I really couldn't tell for a while.

But one thing is obvious, doing so will help alleviate the helplessness of Tai students who go to the door of power and wealth in order to become an official, and can spend more time on study.

But from another point of view, this may also be a hidden danger.

Most of the time is spent on learning skills such as industry, agriculture and business, ignoring morality, will it be more important than morality, and then pay more attention to profit than righteousness, or even mercenary?

Mao Jie was very anxious.

"You Ruo, Shi Guangyuan and others were invited by Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, but they didn't care about lectures. They either entered the lecture hall or the agricultural school. Could it be that they were influenced by Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong?"

"It is indeed possible." Xun Chen said: "So I want to meet them, especially Zhuge Liang. I have no objection to some people studying agriculture and engineering, but too much is too much. Too many scholars focus on these trivial skills. It's putting the cart before the horse."

"It's better sooner than later." Mao Jie agreed.

"Well, I'm going to lecture hall tomorrow, to see Xu Shu, and to visit Yu Fan by the way. When I was in Hedong, I heard Shedi Wen Ruo mention this person, saying that he is a rare genius. My confidant, who served as the sacrificial wine in the martial arts hall, must have some reason. Listening to what he said, maybe it can be enlightened."

Mao Jie took it for granted.

He also wanted to go, but he felt that it was not suitable, after all, he had just met Xun Chen not long ago.

The two returned to the residence, and before entering the door, they glanced at each other, and then said in unison: "I want to sit with Cui Jigui and listen to his opinion."

Then, the two looked at each other and smiled.

Xun Chen said: "In that case, let Cui Jigui come over, and I will be the host."

Mao Jie agreed.

Xun Chen sent someone to go to Cui Yan, and went back to the small courtyard by himself to prepare tea and snacks.Mrs. Tang was very thoughtful and had already sent people to deliver a lot of things.It seems that Xun Chen couldn't help but think of the military rations he had just eaten at the agricultural school for the snacks on the case, and secretly smacked his tongue.

This... how to fight?Strength is not at the same level at all.

Chapter 761

Cui Yan will come soon.

After listening to Xun Chen's visit to Shi Tao, he immediately made a request.

He wanted to go to the lecture hall with Xun Chen.

He has competed with Xu Shu in martial arts and discussed Taoism, and the two hit it off very well.They haven't met since Xu Shu went to the lecture hall.He really wanted to see why Xu Shu took the exam in the martial arts hall, and what happened now.

Xun Chen didn't dare to agree immediately, so he wanted to inquire first.

It is said that the lecture hall is different from other halls. It is built in Shanglin Garden, unlike Taixue, where you can come and go as you please.

He and Cui Yan both have identities in Jizhou, so they may not be able to enter.If necessary, I may have to meet Xun Wenqian first, ask her to make arrangements, and ask the emperor to agree.

Cui Yan also knew what was interesting, so he didn't follow up with the question, but talked about other things.

"I just heard the news that the crazy student Mi Heng has come to Chang'an, and he will arrive in three to five days."

Xun Chen's mind was full of thoughts, he didn't care who Mi Heng was at all, so he answered casually.

Cui Yan smiled and reminded: "Brother Youruo, Mi Heng is from Hanyang."

Xun Chen understood immediately, and became energetic immediately.

Hanyang and Hedong are two special counties, one is in charge of Yang Xiu, and the other is in charge of Xun Yu, both are talents that the emperor places high hopes on.They carry out the kingly way in their own ways, and which one does better is not only related to individuals and families, but also related to the promotion of the kingly way in the world in the future.

In this sense, it has a different meaning for Mi Heng to come to Chang'an from Hanyang.

"Who did you hear?"

"Kong Rong. He received a letter from Mi Heng, saying that Mi Heng has been in Hanyang for half a year, she has been reborn and has made great progress. After coming to Chang'an, she will surely become a blockbuster."

"And—" Xun Chen dismissed it.

Mao Jie also smiled and remained silent.

They all had close contact with Kong Rong, and knew that Kong Rong often said too much.Mi Heng and Kong Rong came to Chang'an together. It was expected that Kong Rong would praise Mi Heng, but it couldn't be taken seriously.

King Zhuang of Chu did not sing for three years, and became a blockbuster.What is Miheng, just a madman, can he be compared with King Zhuang of Chu?Even if he is very talented, it will only be a few months to go to Hanyang, what can he gain, so that he can change his bones?

Crazy big words are not enough to win credibility.

"Let me tell you a piece of news. It may be more meaningful than Mi Heng's coming to Chang'an." Xun Chen joked with ease, telling Shi Tao and others about the trial production of military rations.

Before he finished speaking, Cui Yan's expression changed.

Jizhou is a plain, there is no danger to defend, and the only thing we can rely on is the big and small cities.If the court attacked by force, the cavalry could drive straight in, but the infantry could only attack the city step by step.

Without the cooperation of infantry, the power of cavalry advance is limited.

Cavalry cannot attack the city.

Therefore, as long as the big families in the counties and counties of Jizhou refused to surrender, even if the imperial court used heavy troops to attack, they would not be able to advance to Yecheng at once.

This was Yuan Shao, Shenpei and others' last bit of confidence.

However, if the imperial court has made major improvements in the military rations, and even the infantry have the ability to attack long distances, even if Yecheng cannot be captured, the threat will be greatly increased.

The hinterland of Jizhou is no longer safe, so it can only defend with heavy troops, and dare not relax at all times.

Over time, it will be a test for the morale of the army.

"Is there really such military rations?"

Xun Chen smiled. "We just tasted it ourselves, and it tasted pretty good."

Cui Yan pretended to be disdainful. "Even if there is, I'm afraid the court can't afford it. I heard that the salaries of officials are not fully paid again."

"I don't know about that." Xun Chen spread his hands, in a good mood.

He was very fortunate that Yuan Tan accepted their suggestion, seized the last chance, and risked the reputation of being unfilial to negotiate peace with the imperial court.

-

"Your uncle?" Liu Xie was taken aback, raised his head, and looked at Xun Wenqian.

Xun Wenqian is very self-conscious and usually would not take the initiative to find him, especially for matters outside the palace.

"Yes, I have received a letter from my father. When my uncle went to Hedong, besides visiting his relatives, he was also speaking for Yuan Tan."

"What happened to Yuan Tan?" Liu Xie put down the book in his hand, turned to Xun Wenqian, and took Liu Tai.

Liu Tai could already walk, and he was so energetic that he never stopped.As soon as he broke free from Xun Wenqian, he climbed onto Liu Xie, drooling with joy.

Xun Wenqian hurriedly handed over the handkerchief.

Liu Xie took the handkerchief and wiped Liu Tai's mouth.Liu Tai hugged Liu Xie's neck, and said in a childish voice, "Fly, fly."

"Don't make trouble!" Xun Wenqian turned pale and raised her palms. "Father is tired and has no time to play with you."

Liu Xie picked up Liu Tai, turned around in a circle, avoided Xun Wenqian, then threw Liu Tai up, and caught him firmly.

Liu Tai smiled all over his face, never tired of it.

"You say what you want, it doesn't matter." Liu Xie said.

Xun Wenqian was just putting on a show, seeing that Liu Xie loved her son and was happy, she was very happy, and took the opportunity to explain Xun Chen's reason for coming.

She brought her son here because she knew that Liu Xie liked Liu Tai, and it was more convenient to speak in this atmosphere.

Liu Xie was playing with Liu Tai while listening to Xun Wenqian.

He had already received letters from Xun You and Yuan Shu, and he knew about Yuan Shao's border patrol, but he didn't know that Yuan Shao was under house arrest by Yuan Tan.I don't know whether Yuan Tan did a good job of keeping secrets or Xun You didn't report it.

As for Yuan Shu, Liu Xie never took him seriously.

Even if Yuan Shu reported it, he would not dare to believe it.Who knows if Yuan Shu will exaggerate and falsely report his military exploits.

That person is unreliable.

In contrast, Xun You is more credible.After all, given the Xun family's current situation, it would be unwise to tie up with Yuan Shao again. It is the most reasonable choice for Xun Chen to come to Chang'an at this time.

It seems that the Ruying family is going to quit jobs collectively.

But he didn't welcome it.

Compared with middle-aged and old people like Xun Chen and Guo Tu, he is more willing to accept young people like Xu Shu and Shi Tao.

Young people are more passionate, more willing to take action, and idealistic, without so many interests.

People like Xun Chen talk about morality and righteousness, but they think about interests in their hearts.It's not an easy task to get them to turn their minds around before they hit their heads and bruises.

Therefore, it is usually young people who can really change an era.

Xun Yu probably also realized this, so he tried his best to encourage Xun Chen to come to Chang'an to have a look.

"It's good if you come." Liu Xie said, "Go and see you when you have time. We haven't seen each other for many years, and maybe a lot of vicissitudes have passed. In addition, write to Xun Yin and ask him to arrange the affairs at hand and come to Chang'an to participate as much as possible." Discuss."

"Wei." Xun Wenqian bowed to accept the order.

"Also, the resettlement of the naturalized Xianbei and Huns is a major event this year. Let him make more preparations. There may be disputes at the court meeting."

"Wei!" Xun Wenqian cheered up.

The naturalization of the barbarians is a major event. The Xianbei and Huns who were resettled in Bingzhou were the first batch, but the emperor handed this matter over to Xun Yu. Naturally, he trusted Xun Yu.

In fact, this is to let Xun Yu act as an agent of Bingzhou affairs. If he can handle it properly, Xun Yu will not be far from being promoted.

In the face of this gift, Xun Chen's visit to the lecture hall is not worth mentioning, let's talk about it later.

Zhuge Liang walked in. "Your Majesty, I beg you to see me."

Liu Xie picked up Liu Tai, sent him to Xun Wenqian's arms, and said in a low voice, "You go back first, we'll talk about it tonight."

Xun Wenqian understood, flushed slightly on her cheeks, bowed to salute, and backed out with Liu Tai in her arms.

Liu Xie tidied up his clothes.

"pass!"

Chapter 762

Mi Heng walked into Weiyang Palace and walked along the spacious avenue.

The Wei Young in front of her is both familiar and strange at the same time.

The first thing that caught his attention was the newly renovated pavilion beside the road, tall and majestic, brightly lit.Although it was already night, there were only a few people there, and it looked extremely lively.

Lang Guan who passed the edict saw that Mi Heng was fascinated, and said without any surprise: "This is the Tongwen Museum that just opened."

"Tongwenguan?" Mi Heng was startled. "The same text in the same text?"
