"Why did Mr. Xing come back?"

Xing Yong was silent for a moment. "After traveling in Chang'an, I opened my eyes and felt that teaching and educating people is the most suitable for me. Circling in the government and bowing my head to the office is not the life I yearn for."

"Any more?"

"The other thing is that it is close to home, so it is convenient to take care of parents, wife and children, and saves the pain of lovesickness."

"You can take it easy." Liu Xie patted his knees, with a somewhat joking tone. "As a teacher in the county school, the salary is not high, not as good as half of your wife's income in Yinfang. Aren't you worried about your husband's decline?"

A trace of embarrassment flashed in Xing Yong's eyes, and he said with some embarrassment: "Your Majesty is joking, although my wife is not a high-ranking student, she is also a person who knows the book and respects the etiquette. How can I judge a hero by the level of income."

Chapter 978

Liu Xie didn't ask any more questions.

Can not say that Xing Yong lied, but he certainly did not tell the whole story.

There is Yinfang in Hejian, and it is successful in Junzhi.If Xing Yong just wanted to reunite with his family, he could stay in the county school to teach instead of returning to Xing County.

Deliberately returning to Wu County should have something to do with the serious loss of talents in Wu County.

During the Battle of Yecheng last year, Zhang Yun was exiled, and most of the people who followed him were from Hu County.Xun You and Xin Pi were spending their time in Hejian and killed another group of people.In general, even if the big clans in Wu County were not uprooted, at least half of their vitality was injured.

Xing Yong rushed back to the county to teach, and he should have the idea of ​​cultivating a group of talents for the county as soon as possible.

But he didn't have to say it.

This kind of rural concept is an idea that everyone will have. As long as it is not out of line, the court does not have to forcibly stop it.

To a certain extent, he also hopes that more scholars like Xing Yong will take root in the grassroots and use what they have learned to serve the village, instead of running to the county government and the capital.

He asked some more information, such as course schedule, students' learning progress and so on.

Xing Yong answered one by one.

When it comes to teaching, Xing Yong is like a different person, energetic and eloquent.

Finally, Liu Xie asked him what he wanted.

Xing Yong glanced at Sima Lang, and Sima Lang nodded calmly.

Xing Yong left the table and gave a big gift to Liu Xie. "I take the liberty to ask Your Majesty to exempt the county from taxes for one year."

Liu Xie looked at Sima Lang and remained calm. "What's the reason?"

"The children of Yanxian County are grateful to His Majesty for their benevolence, and they are actively studying, so that the scale exceeds expectations. Although the county allocated 50 yuan, it was only used for the construction of school buildings. The teachers' monthly salary has not yet been paid. It has not been paid in full for three consecutive months. Yes. If you can exempt from tax for one year and use it to pay the teacher's monthly salary owed, the difference will not be much."

"You didn't pay the full amount?"

"Yes."

Sima Lang added: "Your Majesty, Jun Xing has not received a monthly salary yet, he has been supported by his wife all along."

Suddenly, Liu Xie looked at Xing Yong meaningfully.

Xing Yong was a little embarrassed and avoided Liu Xie's eyes.

"You make an account, and the county will submit it to Situ Mansion." Liu Xie scratched his head. "Although not every county is as large-scale as the county school in Wu County, you are not the only one who owes your salary. The Situ Mansion is considering a unified solution, and you should report it as soon as possible."

Sima Lang was overjoyed and agreed repeatedly.

Xing Yong was a little disappointed, frowning slightly. "Will His Majesty refuse to show mercy to the one-year tax of the county?"

Sima Lang's complexion changed, and he quickly stopped him with winks, but it was already too late.

Liu Xie looked at Xing Yong quietly, the corners of his mouth twitched, he wanted to laugh but didn't. "Mr. Xing, do you want me to keep my promises and be arbitrary, or do you want me to serve the three princes and rule?"

Xing Yong was speechless, and retreated embarrassingly.

-

After leaving the county school, Liu Xie got on the horse and walked slowly.

The spring breeze is pleasant, and the face is not cold.

Zhen Mi followed on a bay red horse. "Is Your Majesty really planning to practice it by himself and return the rights to the three princes?"

Liu Xie nodded. "It's better to let go now than to let go when you're half dead tired. Everyone shows some sincerity."

"What about military power?"

"Military power depends on whether they can handle it." Liu Xie turned his head and glanced at Zhen Mi, the corner of his mouth twitching slightly. "Tell me, can they handle it?"

Zhen Mi met Liu Xie's gaze and smiled silently. "In front of His Majesty, I can't stand it. But what about Your Majesty after a hundred years?"

Liu Xie and Zhen Mi looked at each other for a moment, unable to bear it.

With Zhen Mi accompanying her this time, the ministers all guessed that she would enter the palace soon, and some people had already started writing letters.Although Zhen Mi didn't say anything, her eyes showed it clearly, which made him a little unbearable.

Sure enough, when a woman is brave, there is nothing wrong with a man.

Liu Xie looked into the distance and thought for a moment. "It's too early to say what will happen a hundred years from now. I don't believe there are any definite rules that can be set for a hundred years. Right now, we can only take one step at a time and start from the basics."

There was a snicker at the corner of Zhen Mi's mouth, and she echoed: "What Your Majesty said is that this matter is not in a hurry. I am rich in talents, and Your Majesty has a good understanding of people, so I can always find a more suitable candidate. Even if no one can With the world in mind like His Majesty, it is always no problem to sit on one side."

Liu Xie didn't answer Zhen Mi's topic.

He knew what Zhen Mi wanted to say.The Zhen family of Zhongshan had waited for so long and couldn't wait any longer.

Her eldest brother Zhen Yu and her second brother Zhen Yan both died early, leaving only the third brother Zhen Yao.Zhen Yao took the exam last year, but his grades were not outstanding. Now he is an ordinary official in Zhongshan County, which disappointed the whole Zhen family.

Zhen Mi was about to enter the palace, which was a rare opportunity for Zhen Yao, Zhen Mi didn't want to miss it, hinted several times in front of him, but was rejected by him.

It's not that he doesn't want to give Zhen Yao a chance, it's just that he doesn't want to be so urgent.

Zhen Mi is very smart, but her smartness is exposed, she is not calm enough, and her temper is a bit impatient.

If she can't change it, the matter of entering the palace may have to be discussed again.

It's like this before entering the palace, when she enters the palace, competition for favor is almost inevitable.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Sun Quan rode over, holding a document in his hand. "Western Region Military News."

Liu Xie took the document, opened it and read it.

Zhen Mi closed her mouth in dismay.

After a while, Liu Xie finished reading the military newspaper, and his complexion was a little unhappy.

Is there a Roman camp on the northern shore of the Black Sea?

Anthony, a profiteer, never mentioned it.Had he known the reach of the Romans so far, he would not have been in such a hurry to move west.

He is not as confident as Xun Yun and Shen You. He knows how powerful the Roman Empire is, even though the current Roman Empire is not in its heyday, it can even be said to be in decline.

But a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and the legacy of Rome is still there.If you underestimate the enemy, setbacks are entirely possible.

The victory or defeat of the first battle is not only related to morale, but also to the entire public opinion.If the Western Expedition is frustrated and the losses are heavy, the attitude of the ministers of the DPRK and China towards the Western Expedition is likely to change, and the morale that was so easily boosted will also be weakened.

Xun Yun and Shen You alone may not be enough. Can Cheng Gongying take on such an important task?

But this matter cannot be decided lightly.

Changing generals before the battle will also affect morale and make Han Sui suspicious.

Liu Xie took a deep breath and let it out slowly, forcing himself to calm down.

Thousands of miles apart, it is useless to worry.

The current battle is to figure out how powerful the Romans are on the northern shore of the Black Sea.If there are not many troops, Cheng Gongying, Shen You, and Xun Yun may be able to handle it.

After all, from the military report sent, it can be seen that Shen You and Xun Yun are cautious, and they are not brave and foolish people.

Liu Xie regained his composure, and ordered Sun Quan: "Call the Dispersed Riders to discuss the matter, and let Taiwei Changshi also participate."

"Wei." Sun Quan responded, turned his head and was about to leave when he remembered something again and quickly reined in his mount. "Your Majesty, Minister Cao Ang of Ganling seeks an audience."

Liu Xie was surprised.How did Cao Ang come here?

"Did you say something?"

Sun Quan shook his head. "He used Xiu Mu to visit his concubine and younger brother. He asked to see him by the way. It's not a big deal. He just asked for a meeting as usual."

Chapter 979 The End of Qingping

Cao Ang stood in the courtyard, watching Cao Zhang practicing martial arts in the courtyard.

Cao Zhang is only 13 years old this year, but he is born with supernatural powers, and the sword and shield in his hand dance vigorously.It's just that the knife is a bit long, and it's not easy to handle. It cut the ground in a mess and the soil flew up.

"Okay, okay." Mrs. Bian walked over while arranging her clothes, and softly reprimanded: "Stop making a fool of yourself in front of your brother. You have nothing to look at except your strength."

"Auntie, Ah Zhang's martial arts are very good." Cao Ang was overjoyed, walked up to Cao Zhang, and stroked Cao Zhang's head lovingly. "He's a born fierce general. In the future, he should take an exam in the martial arts hall, learn the art of war, and then serve in Yanran Dufu."

"Is it really possible?" Cao Zhang raised his head and looked at his elder brother with some admiration.

Madam Bian also held her breath.

"Of course." Cao Ang said with a smile: "You have such a talent, it would be a pity not to be a general. But, Azhang, you have to remember that loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness are the first things to be a general, followed by wisdom, and courage. After that, if you only have the courage of a man, you will not be able to become a real famous general."

"Your Majesty, can he... really be able to take the martial arts exam?" Madam Bian asked in a low voice.

"It's definitely possible." Cao Ang thought for a while. "I am here this time, and I have to report something to the emperor in person, and I will ask about it when the time comes. If I can't take the test directly, I will take him to my post and ask a famous teacher to teach him, and then take the test."

Madam Bian breathed a sigh of relief and patted Cao Zhang's face lightly. "I still don't thank you brother."

Cao Zhang happily opened his arms, hugged Cao Ang, and turned around twice.

When Cao Ang turned around, he saw Cao Pi with a worried face, and his heart moved immediately. "Zihuan, let's go together, we will take care of each other."

Cao Pi turned his worries into joy, and quickly agreed.

Seeing this, Mrs. Bian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Cao Cao didn't care about her. She was so busy all day for making a living that she really didn't have time to take care of Cao Pi and Cao Zhang, especially Cao Zhang, who was strong and loved to fight, and had caused her a lot of trouble.

If Cao Ang is willing to take Cao Pi and Cao Zhang away, she will be much more relaxed. The third son Cao Zhi is much quieter, as long as he has a book to read.

The family was talking, someone came to report, and the emperor had an oral order to call Cao Ang to see him.

Cao Ang didn't dare to neglect, he immediately tidied up and rushed to Xingzai.

After entering the camp, come to the tent and sign up loudly.Before the words fell, Liu Xie's voice came from inside.

Cao Ang entered the account and saluted Liu Xie.

Liu Xie looked up at Cao Ang, and stretched out his hand to signal Cao Ang to sit down. "Come back to see your brother?"

"Yes." Cao Ang said: "The two younger brothers are not young, but they haven't been admitted to school yet. I don't feel at ease. Come and take a look while I have time off."

Liu Xie smiled.

Cao Ang is a loyal man, not at all like Cao Cao's son.Cao Cao just ignored Bian's mother and son, as if there were no such people.Cao Ang, on the other hand, just took care of them when he was driving, but now he is released, and he still takes them into his heart.

"Your second brother Cao Pi is in his teens this year?"

"Fifteen, third brother Cao Zhang thirteen, born with supernatural power."

Liu Xie nodded. "I know him, he fights very hard, and several people who are a bit older than him were beaten and cried by him."

Cao Ang was a little surprised.He didn't know that Cao Zhang was so famous that even the emperor knew about it.

"Are you going to take him back to Ganling?"

"I do have this idea. My aunt is busy with business and has to take care of the three of them. It's just... the third brother Cao Zhang is a good general, and I would like to ask His Majesty to allow him to take the martial arts exam in advance. "

Liu Xie smacked his lips and shook his head. "The lessons in the Martial Arts Hall are too deep, I'm afraid he is not suitable."

Cao Ang had been prepared for a long time, but he was not too disappointed. Just as he was about to speak, Liu Xie said again: "Let him come to me and be a boy boy."

Cao Ang was taken aback and looked up at Liu Xie.

Liu Xie smiled and said, "I don't want to?"

"No, no, I can't ask for it." Cao Ang reacted and thanked him quickly. "I just...don't dare to think about it."

Liu Xie waved his hand, signaling Cao Ang to get up.

After all, Cao Ang is still too kind, not as cunning as Cao Cao.It’s not that Cao Cao really didn’t care about Mrs. Bian’s mother and son—even if Mrs. Ding was domineering, how could she block the sky with one hand and prevent Cao Cao from taking care of her son—but he knew that Mrs. Bian’s mother and son would go with them and would not suffer.

Cao Cao, as the guardian of Youyan, holds a heavy army and shoulders heavy responsibilities. How could the court not take care of his children.

Just waiting for an opportunity to sell favors.

Cao Ang served as Yin'an Ling last year, and his achievements were outstanding. At the beginning of the year, he was promoted to Minister of Ganling to preside over the affairs of a county.With his age and resume, this is an out-and-out reuse.In addition to Cao Ang's own ability, it is also a reward for Cao Cao.
