Han Dao world

Although he knew that Wang Can was a man of communication and didn't care much about etiquette, but it was too much for him to be so presumptuous.

"It's as Zhongxuan said." Song Zhong looked at the portrait on the wall and sighed. "Because of the portraits of the sages, the emperor was displeased. The emperor emphasized education. He went to Nanyang for several months, but he didn't set foot in the county to learn."

The corner of Wang Can's mouth twitched, and he pointed at the portrait in front of him.

"Because of this picture?"

"Exactly."

"Is it because of my grandfather, or because of Liu Jingzhou?"

Song Zhong frowned slightly.

Wang Can's words were rude, fearing that the visitor was not kind, which was contrary to his original intention.

Seeing that Song Zhong was silent, Wang Can smiled even more, and then asked again: "Most of Jijiu's understanding of this question comes from Liu Jingzhou, right?"

Song Zhong frowned and nodded.

For the conversation between Wang Chang, Liu Biao, teachers and students, he did listen to what Liu Biao said.Hearing Wang Can's meaning, could it be that there is something else hidden?

"I don't know what Liu Jingzhou said, but I can tell you a little bit. As far as I know, my grandfather did not accept his advice. If this story has value in historical records, it is also in my grandfather's Biography, not Liu Jingzhou's."

Wang Can smiled. "Of course, my grandfather may not remember such a trivial matter."

Song Zhong's face suddenly became very exciting.

The meaning of Wang Can's words is clearly that this question is definitely not something to be proud of for Liu Biao, but more like a shame.

Biography has always been a taboo tradition for sages. Unless the subject is the object of criticism, things that are not good for the subject will not be recorded.If you have to remember it, you will also record it in other people's biographies, thinking that you can see each other.

He wanted to speak out for Liu Biao, but engraved Liu Biao's scandal here. How would Liu Biao feel if he knew about it?

The more Song Zhong thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, recalling the expression on Liu Biao's face when he said this, he also had a completely different feeling.

"For the sake of sacrificial wine and Liu Jingzhou's sake, let's change this portrait."

Wang Can cupped his hands and walked away.

-

Leaving the county school and coming to Xingzai, Wang Can reported his name, and found a place in the vestibule to sit down.

The same seat is a young man, travel-stained, with a tired face.

Seeing that Wang Can went straight to his seat without saying hello, he couldn't help but look at Wang Can more and frowned.

Seeing this, Wang Can was a little unhappy.

He became famous at a young age and was very talented, but because of his poor appearance, he was often despised by others, so he was particularly sensitive.Seeing this man's expression, he subconsciously felt that the other party thought him ugly, and couldn't help feeling angry.

"Shanyang Wang Can, named Zhongxuan, dare to ask your step wise?"

The young man froze for a moment, and subconsciously bowed his hand in return. "Qin Mi in Guanghan, whose name is Zixi, is a planner for the prefect."

Wang Can smiled with a trace of disdain. "It turned out to be a talented person from Yizhou. It's very fortunate."

Qin Mi was not in a good mood, but she was not interested in competing with Wang Can.When he came to the Central Plains, he had seen too many such people. When he heard that he was from Yizhou, he subconsciously felt that he was an illiterate barbarian.

The unique arrogance of the Central Plains people.

Seeing Qin Mi ignoring him, Wang Can was even more upset, and asked: "Since Jun Qin is highly valued by the eunuch and ordered to plan, he must be very talented. I don't know what the rule of Qin Jun is?"

Qin Mi raised his eyelids, and asked slowly, "There are thousands of ways, but not only in the scriptures? Looking for chapters and excerpts, the brilliant head and poor scriptures are the work of bookworms, are they admired by scholars?"

Wang Can raised his eyebrows. "In that case, can I ask Qin Jun a few questions?"

Qin Mi cupped her hands lightly. "Compared with each other, dare not teach."

When the people on the side saw Wang Can coming in, they subconsciously took a second look.When Wang Can reported his family name, more people followed him.When Wang Can lived in Xiangyang, he wrote a lot of poems and essays, and later published a collection of essays, which was widely read.Seeing that he was going to have a discussion with a senior strategist from Yizhou, although he didn't get up to watch, they all stopped what they were doing and listened intently.

For a moment, the already quiet vestibule was silent.

Wang Can deliberately stopped for a moment, waiting for this effect.He smiled slightly, and after asking a few common questions, he suddenly changed the topic.

"Dare to ask Qin Jun, does the sky have a head?"

Everyone was stunned and looked at each other.

What kind of problem is this?Is there such an answer in the Five Classics?

Sun Quan came out from the inside and was about to ask Qin Mi to go in. When he heard this question, he was stunned for a moment and stopped in his tracks, wanting to hear how Qin Mi would answer this question.

Qin Mi remained calm and said calmly, "Of course."

Wang Can immediately asked: "Where is the head?"

"It's in the west." Qin Mi said unhurriedly: "The poem says: It's the west, the dimension and the house. Inference from this, it's naturally in the west."

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help laughing knowingly.

Although it is far-fetched and suspected of forced interpretation, it is also interesting.To deal with such tricky questions, there is only this kind of answer, as long as it can be justified.Qin Mi was able to quote the Book of Songs and respond to them, and he was even more witty and quick-witted.

Wang Can blinked, and asked unwillingly, "Does the sky have ears?"

"The poem says: The crane crows in Jiugao, and its sound is heard in the sky. If it has no ears, how can it hear?"

"Then... is there enough in the sky?"

"The poem goes: The sky is difficult, but the son is not hesitant. If he has no feet, how can he walk?"

Wang Can raised his eyebrows lightly, clapped his hands and smiled, stood up and bowed again. "If you cover your eyes with a leaf, you won't see Mount Tai; if you plug your ears with two beans, you won't hear thunder. Can is ignorant and ignorant, so he doesn't know that there is Lord Qin in Yizhou. I was rude just now, and Lord Qin please forgive me."

Chapter 1049

Qin Mi got up and met Wang Can again.

He didn't know that Wang Can's family background was prominent, so he only thought that Wang Can was an ordinary scholar, or that he was here for tricks like him.The appearance is not good, but there is talent, so there is a sense of sympathy.I wanted to talk about it in depth, but seeing Sun Quan by my side, I didn't dare to delay, so I made an appointment with Wang Can to talk about it later.

Wang Can readily agreed.

Qin Mi entered with Sun Quan.Sun Quan asked casually: "You are proficient in "Poetry", can there be good poems handed down?"

Qin Mi kept silent.

Sun Quan hit a soft nail and felt upset, but it was hard to get angry.

When he came to the hall, Liu Xie sat in the chair and glanced at Qin Mi with a smile on his lips.

Others didn't know about Qin Mi, but he knew a thing or two.But in his memory, Qin Mi was a hermit when Liu Zhang ruled Shu, and he became an official after Liu Bei entered Shu.It is somewhat strange that he has now become a top strategist.

I don't know if it's the butterfly effect or something else.

But seeing Qin Mi's proud expression, he vaguely guessed something.

Qin Mi's arrival was not friendly, Shi Sun Rui might have misjudged her.

Or, Shi Sunrui knew that this person was a thorn in the side and couldn't stay in the local area, so he deliberately sent him here.

This kind of pleading for the people, although there are thousands of people, he has seen too much of my heroism.

Sun Quan led Qin Mi to the hall, but he did not back down, but walked behind Liu Xie, and whispered what Qin Mi had just argued with Wang Can.Liu Xie listened quietly, without expressing his opinion, he just waved his hand and signaled Qin Mi to take a seat.

"The specific matters on the plan will be handled by the Situ Mansion. You can save time by talking about things that the Situ Mansion can't handle."

Qin Mi cupped her hands and saluted. "I heard that your majesty appointed three princes to rule. Soldiers will be Taiwei, people will be Situ, and water and soil will be Sikong. Your majesty only educates. I dare to ask your majesty how to educate Yizhou's Qiang and Diyi old men."

Liu Xie frowned slightly, and the smile in his eyes grew stronger.

Sure enough, he came prepared.

But then again, Qin Mi's question really hit the point.

Yizhou has a wide range, including not only Sichuan in later generations, but also most of Guizhou and Yunnan.Except for the Chengdu Plain, most of the areas are mountainous, with inconvenient transportation. Until the beginning of the [-]th century, it was a relatively closed and backward area.

With inconvenient transportation, the Central Plains Dynasty could not rule effectively, and could only restrain it.

Even after the land was reformed, those areas were still separated from the central government.

It wasn't until the infrastructure maniac went online, built bridges deep in the mountains, and dug tunnels, that geographical barriers were broken through, forming a game of chess across the country.

Now, huh, huh.

Even if the imperial court tried to force the Confucian scholars to trek through mountains and rivers to serve as rural teachers at all costs, do you think those barbarian leaders would accept it?

Even if they accept it, they will teach their own children to read and further enhance their own advantages. Ordinary people have no chance.

"What you want to talk about is not teaching, but saving the land?" Liu Xie said unhurriedly.

Qin Mi didn't come early or late, but he came when Shi Sun Rui was promoting land saving in Guanghan. The purpose could not be to educate, but to save the land.

As for whether he opposes land saving out of self-interest, or out of so-called morality, he opposes forced land saving, then it is uncertain.

Qin Mi was slightly taken aback. "Why does Your Majesty bother to talk about him?"

"Education is really difficult." Liu Xie fought back. "But because it's difficult, why don't you do it? Back then when Wenweng started to study, was it difficult? If you didn't promote enlightenment because of difficulty, Yizhou is still barren, and you may not have the opportunity to study."

Liu Xie snorted softly, and his face sank. "The predecessors planted trees, and the descendants enjoy the shade. Now you enjoy the legacy of the predecessors, read some books, but come to persuade the court not to educate more people. Is it appropriate?"

Qin Mi was a little dazed, and quickly explained: "Your Majesty speaks seriously. I don't intend to dissuade the imperial court from educating people. I just feel that the mountains are high and the roads are far away, and education is not easy. I want to ask the imperial court if there is a perfect plan."

"Then I would like to ask you, besides your own children, who else have you taught to read?"

"This...the minister is lazy and has never set up a library to teach."

"That's right. The mountains are high and the roads are far away, and it's not easy to teach. In the final analysis, it's just laziness." Liu Xie smiled lightly. "Then, what is the purpose of making you, a lazy person by nature, work so hard to come here? I just want to ask the court if there is any perfect plan? If there is a perfect plan, what does it have to do with you? Will you participate?"

Qin Mi was choked by Liu Xie's series of rhetorical questions, and looked at Liu Xie in astonishment, not knowing how to answer.

It wasn't in his plan at all.

The emperor not only did not answer his question, but asked him many questions.

There are no sayings, no poems, but every sentence points to the vital point, making it impossible for him to avoid it.

Liu Xie ignored him, and then said: "Whether you care about Dutian or not, I can tell you clearly. Dutian is just a means, not an end. The purpose of the court is to let the tillers have their fields, the weavers have their clothes, and the people Everyone can live and work in peace and contentment, instead of the rich who have lands and fields, wanting extravagance, and the poor who have no place to stand and can only rise from the sky. If you have a better way, I am very happy to hear it. If you have no better way, just simple If you don’t want to fight against the land, then I can only tell you..."

Liu Xie paused, his eyes became sharp. "Don't open your mouth. Don't talk about citing scriptures, even if you call a saint underground, it's useless."

Qin Mi was frightened by Liu Xie's eyes, and broke out in cold sweat.

"Is there anything else to say?"

Qin Mi forced himself to calm down, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I just want to ask for enlightenment."

"Really?"

"In front of Your Majesty, how dare I speak nonsense?"

"You are lazy by nature, even if the court has a perfect plan, are you willing to participate?"

Qin Mi gritted her teeth. "I am willing."

Liu Xie was silent for a moment, then nodded, his expression slightly relaxed. "A gentleman should act in harmony with knowledge and action. Empty talk is useless. You stay in Nanyang for a while, look around, and then we can discuss this issue, how about it?"

Qin Mi blushed and could only bow down to accept the order.

Liu Xie signaled that Qin Mi could leave, and ordered Sun Quan to pass Wang Can to see him.

Qin Mi went out, found a vacant seat in the vestibule, and sat down, gathering herself.Wang Can got up and glanced at Qin Mi, seeing that Qin Mi's forehead was covered in cold sweat and his face turned pale, he couldn't help being horrified.

Is this still the wit he talked about just now?What did the emperor say to him to make him lose his composure?

Wang Can didn't have time to ask any more questions, so he just told Qin Mi not to leave in a hurry, and waited for him here for a while, then followed Sun Quan into the door.

When he came to the hall, Wang Can greeted him.

Liu Xie glanced at Wang Can as usual, and picked up the famous stab on the case.

"You have been in the party?"

Wang Can said: "After Zhong Yao left office, Xiaomin left Shangdang, traveled to Taiyuan, Yanmen, and Xihe counties, and stayed with Pei Qian for several months."

Liu Xie was somewhat surprised that Wang Can actually went to see Pei Qian.

But it's not surprising if you think about it carefully. Pei met Wang Can when he was in Jingzhou, and he learned his drawing skills from Wang Can.

It was normal for Wang Can to go to Pei Qian after losing Zhong Yao's protection.

He is a scholar who cannot lift his hands or shoulders. Apart from sending food, he has no way of making a living.

It's not that there is no way at all, it's just that as Wang Can, he doesn't bother to do it.

Liu Xie then asked another question. "See you for what?"
