Lu Bu: My wife comes from two thousand years later

Lu Bu knew that several people had misunderstood him. If this had happened in the past, he would not have bothered to make any explanation and let others think whatever they wanted.

But it’s not possible now. If he wants to retain talent, he must explain the misunderstanding clearly, but he doesn’t want to go and tell a few little brats that you misunderstood me, I’m not a tyrant.

So I thought of using snacks to introduce the lotus flowers and the pond.

Seeing everyone pick up the snacks and take a bite, Lu Bu said, "The ingredients for these cakes are all taken from the lotus pond outside. It used to be a coal mining area. After the coal was mined last year, A-Mo had water brought in to plant lotus and raise fish."

"The lotus is a treasure from head to toe. The rhizome can be used in cooking and ground into flour to make vermicelli. I'm sure you haven't seen what vermicelli is. This is the first time I know that lotus root can be made into flour."

"However, making noodles is still too wasteful. In winter, when there are no vegetables to eat, the lotus roots in this pond are the main source of vegetables for the entire Jinyang and even the surrounding counties. In summer, the flowers can be used to make tea, the lotus seeds can be eaten, and even the leaves can be used to cook."

Several of them were from the south. Jingzhou had many water bodies, so naturally there were lotus flowers planted there, but most of them were planted for viewing by wealthy families. Almost no farmers would take the trouble to plant lotus and sell lotus roots.

Of course, there are many people who eat lotus roots and lotus seeds, but they are also wealthy people. Therefore, when they saw such a large lotus pond, they misunderstood that Lu Bu was a luxurious person.

After hearing what Lu Bu said, several people looked ashamed, especially Pang Tong, who stood up and bowed solemnly to Lu Bu.

"As the old saying goes, 'Those who see and hear before they hear are not confused by things, and they see the big picture from the subtle.' As we journeyed north, all we heard and saw was benevolence and benevolent governance, which clearly shows that the envoy is a wise ruler. However, to misunderstand the envoy because of a pond of lotus is truly unwise and is entirely at fault!"

Shi Tao followed suit and bowed. "The sage said, 'What we trust is our eyes, but they are still unreliable; what we rely on is our heart, but it is still unreliable. I have read the books of the sages in vain!'"

The other two also stood up and cited classics to express their own mistakes in jumping to conclusions without verification.

Lü Bu only half understood what he heard, and his head was tingling. He thought to himself, "Dealing with scholars is such a hassle. They should just admit their mistakes, but they have to start with a bunch of flowery nonsense."

He thought this in his heart, but he smiled nonchalantly and said, "I have been misunderstood countless times in my life. I don't take such trivial matters to heart, so you don't have to worry about it."

He then changed the subject and asked the guard at the door, "Where's Aunt Xu? Hasn't she arrived yet?"

The guard at the door said, "I'm already here. I was afraid that the prince was talking about something important, so I didn't dare to disturb him."

Lu Bu said, "How can we let her wait? Come in quickly!"

Lü Bu's open-minded, wise, and warm performance today left a deep impression on the four men. Pang Tong couldn't help but sigh, "Who said Lü Bu was a reckless man? He was clearly a wise man!"

If such a sentimental, righteous, open-minded and wise person is not worth following, then who else in the world is worthy?

Aunt Xu was quickly invited in. Having not seen her son for many years, she could not hide her excitement. Lu Bu stood up and said, "I will not disturb your reunion with your son."

Then he said to Shi Tao and the other two, "You guys come with me to the earth building and settle down first."

The three of them greeted Aunt Xu and followed Lu Bu to the earth building.

After the mother and daughter finished talking about their mother-son relationship, Xu Shu also learned from A-mu that the little boy he saw in the morning was A-mo's eldest son, Xiao Baozi. However, the little guy didn't like people calling him by his nickname, so he denied that he was Xiao Baozi. In addition, the little guy was particularly tall and strong, so he caused Xu Shu to misunderstand.

…………

In Jinyang City, Zhang Mo, a geography teacher at Hongguang Academy, had just finished a class and was about to go to the office to visit Mr. Cai.

It has been almost four years since Hongguang Academy was established. It was not very popular in the first two years until Lu Zhi was invited to be a teacher. Then it gradually started to pick up. With the arrival of Cai Yong last year, the reputation of the academy spread quickly, attracting many students. Now it has become the largest institution of higher learning in Bingzhou.

Zhang Mo was committed to establishing the college as a comprehensive institution, so she set up many courses. In addition to classics, there were also mathematics, law, agriculture, and geography, which were compulsory courses. There were also elective subjects such as military strategy, calligraphy, foreign languages, music, and painting. Among them, foreign languages ​​included Xiongnu, Mongolian, and Kucha-Shanshan Tocharian.

Cultivating talents proficient in foreign languages ​​is a preparation for opening up the Western Regions in the future. However, some foreign language courses have not yet started because they have not found suitable teachers.

Geography is still being improved because the climate, hydrology, crops, etc. of this era are slightly different from those of today.

As for the subject of law, it is still mainly based on the original laws, but some adjustments have been made in certain aspects.

As for agronomy, it is actually a branch of geography, which includes five industrial forms: planting, forestry, animal husbandry, fishery, and sideline industries. Sideline industries are the processing of agricultural and sideline products.

All students of Hongguang Academy will be sent out to serve as local officials in the future, so these compulsory courses not only require a theoretical basis, but students must also participate in social practice on a regular basis. The most important of these is agricultural practice, which means they must know how to farm.

In this agriculture-based era, an official who does not understand the seasons and cannot distinguish between grains is really not qualified to be an official.

The academy is now headed by Cai Yong as the president and professor of several subjects. For agronomy, several local farmers with rich planting and breeding experience were invited to give oral accounts, which were compiled into books and then taught part-time by Han Hao. Sima Zhi teaches law part-time, and Zhao Zi teaches mathematics. In the past two years, Lu Zhi's health has been getting worse and worse, and he has stopped teaching. Geography and military tactics are shared by Zhang Mo.

Many students were initially disdainful and unconvinced by the fact that she was a woman teaching military tactics. Even after learning about her historical achievements, many people were still not convinced. However, after taking one class, these ignorant students were completely conquered by her, including Fa Zheng, who considered himself a genius.

Fa Zheng is now half student and half teacher. Although he is only seventeen years old, he is very knowledgeable. Sometimes when a teacher is unable to come due to something, he will take over the class. The one who takes leave most frequently is Zhang Mo. Fa Zheng is helpless about this. He once protested that he came here to study, not to do hard labor for her.

Zhang Mo told him that only by becoming a teacher himself could he think about problems better and more deeply, thereby knowing more about his shortcomings and learning more purposefully. Then, during his substitute teaching, Fa Zheng discovered that he did have many shortcomings, especially the impact of various weather conditions and various terrains on different arms and tactical options.

From then on, he was willing and happy to substitute for her because he found that she had countless battle examples in her head that could be used as case studies for analysis. Every time he went to her to get the lesson plans, it was the happiest moment of his day.

Zhang Mo walked into the office and saw Cai Yong and Fa Zheng copying classics from memory. When Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an, many of Cai Yong's family books were lost on the way. Since coming to Bingzhou, except for attending classes, he spent all his time copying books from memory, with Fa Zheng writing them down while he dictated.

Whenever she saw Cai Yong, Zhang Mo couldn't help but think of Cai Wenji. She wondered if this talented woman would divorce her ex-husband as happened in history.

Seeing Zhang Mo coming over, Cai Yong and Fa Zheng hurriedly greeted her. Zhang Mo returned the greeting to Cai Yong and asked casually, "Have you received any letters from Sister Cai recently?"

Cai Yong looked at her strangely, then shook his head. "She's a married girl, why does she keep writing letters home for no reason? Madam seems to care about her a lot."

Since Cai Yong came to Bingzhou, Zhang Mo has asked Cai Wenji several times. The two of them had never met before, so Cai Yong found it very strange.

Zhang Mo explained, "I just heard that Sister Cai is very talented and has a photographic memory, so I'm particularly curious about her."

In fact, he was so concerned about her news because he was afraid that she would be kidnapped after the divorce.

In history, this talented woman was abducted by the Hu people and gave birth to two children for them. She was not redeemed until Cao Cao pacified the Huns.
