Liu Xin's plan is to dominate the world in about ten years and prevent the entire nation from falling back into the Three Kingdoms and a century of war history. Therefore, in his opinion, ten years later, the world is already stable, and by that time, students of Xiangyang Academy They have graduated for several terms, and Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang have just grown up, so they are of little use. However, Liu Xin still respects the hermits like Huang Chengyan very much. He humbly asked, "What do you mean by this sir?"
Huang Chengyan smiled and said: "If you think so, ten years from now, all the deacons in all counties and counties in Jingzhou will come from Xiangyang Academy. The adults are foreseeing the situation. I don't need to say more about this."
Liu Xin thought about it. In some important departments and monopolistic enterprises in later generations, there is such a phenomenon. Alumni from the same college promoted each other and occupied many important positions in these departments and enterprises. These departments and enterprises can be said to be Monopolized by these colleges and universities, if you can really dominate the world in the future, the graduates of Xiangyang Academy will naturally be reused and hold important positions in the court and the local government. These people will naturally be easy to group together and ensure the smooth flow of government orders. Also, because they formed a group, if some of them were selfish, they would be more likely to deceive and cover up illegal things. Liu Xin quickly stood up and gave a deep salute to Huang Chengyan, and said, "Mr. , So that Liu Moussed up, please accept Liu Mou’s worship,"
Huang Chengyan didn't expect Liu Xin to be so kind, and hurriedly return the courtesy, saying: "The adults have been in charge of Jingzhou for several years. It is the blessing of the people of Jingzhou. Forgive the people to speak boldly. If chaos will arise today, why don't adults think of the people of the world and raise their arms. With one call, I can turn the tide,"
The expression on Liu Xin's face remained unchanged, and he said faintly: "Being not in his position and not seeking his own government will allow the people of Jingzhou to live a good life. Liu is enough in this life."
If Huang Chengyan has a point, he won't say anything any more, and stand up to say goodbye.
After leaving the door of the prefecture and animal husbandry, Cai Hao said: "Sister-in-law, go to live at home for a few days and then go back, how about it?"
Huang Chengyan smiled and said: "Don't stay, I'm anxious to go back and tell Ah Chou the good news."
Now the road is smooth, and Baishui County is only a short half-day away from Xiangyang by horse-drawn carriage. As soon as Huang Chengyan arrived at home, he pulled Cai Yue into the house and whispered: "Ma'am, there is something I can’t decide on. You can refer to it for details. ,"
Cai Yue said strangely: "You don't always have a high self-esteem. Please ask me to see how you think of it today."
Huang Chengyan didn't care about the ridicule implicit in her words, and said: "This matter is about Yueying. I want her to stop changing her appearance in the future, but it is difficult for her to make this decision."
Cai Yue became even more weird, and asked: "Back then, you insisted on making Yueying look like this. Why did you change your mind today?"
Huang Chengyan sighed and said, "Today I saw Master Zhou Mu. He has promised to let Yueying go to the academy to be an auditor. I think Zhou Mu is very popular, and his ambition is definitely not in Jingzhou. After a long time, he will not be in the pool. The thing is that your little sister is smart and visionary."
Cai Yue couldn't understand what he said, and asked: "What does this have to do with the little girl, don't mention her, she has such a good relationship with the third wife, and she is not willing to ask her for help with Yueying."
Huang Chengyan smiled and said: "If you are like your brother, and you will take her home when you hear the rumors, how can the prefecture have a place for the younger sister? The royal people hate politics in the harem, and the younger sister does not help you. This is exactly her. She must have seen Master Zhou Mu’s high ambitions because of his cleverness."
Cai Yue was shocked, and said, "You let Yueying restore her appearance, do you want her to be a little girl, to please adults, no, no, how old Yueying is, how can you have such nasty thoughts,"
Huang Chengyan said irritably, "Where did you want to go, I'll ask you if Yueying and that kid from the adults' family are quite fun,"
Cai Yue also understood, and said: "Master meant to be married to an adult, which is strange to say, not to mention Liu Yu, a child, even Mrs. Zhou Mu did not dislike Yueying's appearance. We have to discuss it carefully,"
Huang Chengyan and his wife made a small calculation here. Diao Chan was not idle in the prefecture, she knew that Wang Yun sent her to Jingzhou because she had received Cai Yan’s paper and porcelain. She had a kind of betrayal. She feels that she has already forgotten the task that Wang Yun explained, just want to prove her charm,
Diao Chan observed for a few days and found that Liu Xin’s wives had one thing in common. They were not like the wives and concubines of other big families. They were pampered at home all day long. Liu Xin’s wives seemed to be very busy and each had their own affairs. To do it, probably this is what they can attract Liu Xin, but besides pleasing men, they really can’t do other things. Diao Chan thought about it for a long time and decided to study art. She first looked for Zhu Qian because of several people. Among the ladies, Zhu Qian is the most kind and best to speak, as if she has never been angry.
Zhu Qian took Diaochan's hand and looked at it for a long time, and said with a smile: "The girl's hands are like jade bamboo shoots, her fingers are like lush white, how can you do these rough jobs, I think you should go to the third lady, she wrote good words, I play the piano well, and I am learning to draw recently, so it should be more suitable for you."
Diaochan finds Cai Yan helplessly, and Cai Yan is also very busy, because Ma Yun has taught her some of the knowledge she has, and she has to sort it out and teach her father. Ma Yun knows that there will be no peace from next year. Liu Xin will inevitably have to go abroad to fight. She needs to focus a lot of energy on the stable rear. There is no time to go to the academy. Not only that, because Cai Yan is a talented girl, the important task of enlightenment education for many children, big and small, is also left. On her shoulders, Cai Yan said to Diao Chan very politely: "Sister, you see that I am so busy now that I don’t have time to play the piano. Where can I teach you? Sister Yu is in charge of the family’s business. , She is short of staff, or you can help her,"
Since the last time Liu Xin was in danger, Ma Yun has been thinking about it. Now hundreds of people in the house are tied to Liu Xin. All the golden armored gods are Liu Xin's nonsense, although Ju has given them the trust. But Ma Yun couldn’t believe it. Even if she didn’t think about it for herself, she had to think about it for the children. So Ma Yun started her own industry. Now the prefecture and animal husbandry not only has its own farms, but also its own shops. Everyone sent family slaves to operate there. As the business grew, someone at home naturally had to be supervised and supervised. Bian Yu volunteered to take on this responsibility.
Diao Chan held the report that Bian Yu handed her. Although she was literate, there were strange symbols on the report, and she didn't recognize any of them.
Bian Yu glanced at the sad Diao Chan, and said with a smile: "Sister, I think you can't do these tasks, so let's go to Madam Qian to see if she needs help."
After turning around like this, Diao Chan was kicked back like a ball.
Cai Jue is not envious of Diaochan anymore. She can help Cai Yan do things every day, and she has more opportunities to meet and contact Liu Xin than Diaochan. What she is most worried about now is whether Liu Xin will remember whether she promised After that, arrange a separate courtyard for her, and then she regrets it.
However, it is said that Cao Cao fled to Chen Liu, and discussed with his father Cao Song to disperse the family wealth and recruit volunteers.
Cao Song said: "This little money at home can't help much. There is a huge wealthy named Weitz here, who is an offshoot of Hedong Wei's family. If he is willing to help, things will be easier."
Sure enough, Cao Cao invited Weitz to his home and made a straightforward remark.
Weizi said in deep thought: "Meng De gave up his righteousness and helped the community, and Wei should help each other. However, Wei has a small request. I hope Meng De can agree to it."
Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard that Wei Ziken was willing to help, and said: "Zixu is willing to help Cao with a certain arm. Cao is not very grateful. If you have any requests, just say it directly."
Weizi said bitterly: "Jingzhou Mu Liu Xin killed my nephew, I want to eat his flesh, if Meng De wants to revitalize the soldiers, please help me get rid of this person."
Cao Cao thought about it. He knew that it was absolutely impossible for him to stand alone against Dong Zhuo. Therefore, he had to organize his own armament first, and then sent an edict to invite the princes of the towns to discuss Dong Zhuo. Liu Xin, as a pastor of Jingzhou, With a heavy hand in hand, and sufficient food and grass, if he helps him, the chances of winning will naturally increase. Moreover, Cao Cao has coveted the beauty of Liu Xin's wife and concubine for a long time. He is also ready to use this opportunity to let Liu Xin and Dong Zhuo fight both losses. Taking advantage of the fisherman’s profit, Cao Cao could not help but hesitate after hearing Weitz’s words, but if there is no money, then nothing can be said about it. Thinking of this, Cao Cao gritted his teeth and said, "Zixu, wait for me to be the first one except Dong Zhuo. The matter is that Liu Xin’s official position is gone, and he will be taken to Beijing to ask for guilt, and he will definitely avenge your nephew at that time."
Just a few days after Cao Cao raised the banner of righteousness, brothers Xiahou Dun and Xia Houyuan led more than two thousand cavalry to Chenliu, and then Cao Ren and Cao Hong also brought more than a thousand strong men to come. I kept my mind and asked them to train soldiers and horses secretly, so they could rush over in such a short time.
Cao Cao’s imperial edicts have also been sent to the princes of the towns, and Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan, Sun Jian and others have risen to respond.
In the city of Xiangyang, Liu Xin was also waiting for Cao Cao’s corrections, but neither did he wait for the left nor wait for the right. However, the phantom spies from all over the country kept getting news back to Xiangyang, and the princes everywhere were fighting hard, eager to prepare. Have a big fight,
Upon hearing the news, Liu Xin understood that his waiting was lost again. However, this time he had learned well and was already prepared. If Cao Cao didn't play with him, he would do it alone. Anyway, he had already spent a lot of time. The materials were accumulated in Wancheng, not too far from Luoyang, it was used as a supply base for the army to advance, and Liu Xin knew that the 18th Route princes crusade against Dong Zhuo, and finally returned without success, waiting for them to enter Luoyang City. It’s been a long time, so Liu Xin intends to stay at home after a new year before setting off.
As usual on New Year’s Eve, Liu Xin took his wives, concubines and children into the weird two-story building that was used as an ancestral hall.
Cai Jue looked enviously outside the courtyard,
Diao Chan asked incomprehensibly: "How can Madam and the others enter the ancestral hall,"
Cai Jue's eyes were still shining with stars, and she said without hesitation: "Master said, our Liu family does not have this rule, women can still worship their ancestors,"
Diao Chan gave a "hum" and didn't speak any more, but she contempted Cai Jue in her heart. Before marrying Liu Xin, he called him the master, and even dared to call himself "Liu's family", and didn't take a mirror to look at himself. , In fact, she herself is not sour,
At this moment, a maid hurried over and shouted outside the courtyard: "Mr. Ju has an emergency military situation to see the master,"
