New Story of Lv Bu

: : Letter from Luoyang (2)

After expressing some emotion, Zheng Xuan suppressed the excitement of the pig and continued to watch.

"We finally ended the argument. The first stop was to go to the construction site of the water conservancy project outside the city. We got in a large carriage and set off. This carriage is four-wheeled and it is very wide inside. The three old men of us can lie down and talk face to face. It was covered with thick felt and a thin bamboo mat, neither cold nor hot. There was a small room in the corner of the car, and there was a twelve or three-year-old child who saw us getting on the car. He came over quickly and stuffed a soft cushion on our back, and then pressed a certain place like magic, and a small square table appeared in the middle of the carriage. The boy took out a thick cotton pad from under the table. The big teapot poured a large bowl of bitter tea for each of us, then returned to his corner, picked up a book and read it."

"I took a sip of tea. It was warm and very comfortable. I noticed that there are many drawers and bookshelves on the side of the carriage. Cai Yong said that there are books, pen, ink, paper and inkstone in it. This must be a deception, such a small place. How could it be possible to put down so many bamboo slips? Lu Zhi smiled slightly, opened the drawer and took out a book, printed on the kind of paper that printed "The Analects of Confucius", dark blue sheepskin cover, bound Exquisite, I have never seen such an exquisite book in my life. It was annotated by old man Cai, and it is a thin one in his hand. I am really old, and I should think about their purpose of inventing that kind of paper."

"Finally arrived at the construction site. Tens of thousands of people are working in full swing. No one is lazy. Soon it’s lunch time. I didn’t stay with the two old liars, but sat with three laboring farmers. At the same time, the two old crooks didn’t stop me. I’m surprised. In front of each of these farmers is a pot of tall vegetables with four or five pieces of fatty meat, a large thin-noodle steamed bun, and a piece of meat. There is also a dish of pickled vegetables, a spicy dish and a vinegar dish, and a large-scale millet porridge. I feel hungry when I see it. I see Old Man Lu is laughing again, and Old Man Cai called a small official to point me to me. Soon the little official brought me food, the same as theirs, except that there was a small bowl of lamb. I looked at it and the two old men were the same as me in front of them."

"I picked up the bowl and ate it. The meal was really delicious. After I finished eating, there was still more than half a bowl of green vegetables and half a bowl of mutton left. I pushed the rest of the vegetables forward and invited the three folks. Eat. The three people politely expressed their gratitude, and then the three of them took out a clay pot, divided the lamb and greens, added their own sesame cakes, and carefully placed them in the clay pot. The three picked them up. I don’t know where to go, I filled a large bowl of whole grains and ate it. I ate it quickly, and I had a half-hour break at noon. I made the most of this time and chatted with them."

"They eat basically the same thing every day. They can eat meat once every five days. Each person can have a small bowl of meat. Of course, they can also share a piece of meat to eat at home. That way, the amount will be five more points. The daily dishes are enough. They eat, but there is not much fine rice and noodles. Everyone takes them home for their families. Coarse grains are enough. Their daily wages are from one to five buckets of rice. Of course, they can also be exchanged for Bingzhou five baht for five days. Knot. For them, this is simply a good job for Tianzi No.1."

"When I asked them why no one was lazy, they told me that Lu Feng first came up with an idea called pay by piece. For example, they are picking soil, and each load of soil is given to a lottery. Every five days, the lottery is exchanged for money. , The money is a lot, of course no one is lazy. I asked them how the life at home was. They said that when Taishi Dong was in power, it was terrible and they couldn't survive."

"Later, Lu Feng came first, and the next day it was flat. The price of corn has now returned to six hundred wen per stone, which is much better than before. Lu Feng first brought grain from Bingzhou. The fleet can transport two or three hundred thousand shi of grain. Now the imperial court has grain in its hands. He is flat, and the big merchants who are hoarding rice dare not put down their positions, otherwise they will not be able to get the grain in their hands. Stabilize food prices. This incident made hundreds of thousands of people in Luoyang city full of praise."

"Now they can come out to work, eat well, and be fair. They are very happy. There is a man who took out a Dahan Dibao from his arms and pointed to the article,'Try to see who is in the world today?' Ask me, can Lu Feng be the emperor first? If the people have the final say, all of them want Lu Feng to be the emperor first. At this time, a person behind interjected:'More than a real Luli? I think people in Chuan'an would want him. Be the emperor! "Old friend, this is my experience in one day. I'm going to be with those two old liars. No, old friends, it turns out that they are not liars. I will go to the village elementary school. I will write to you again."

Seeing this, Zheng Xuan couldn't help but feel a little at a loss. To be honest, he didn't have any deep feelings for Emperor Heng and Ling Emperor. The two misfortunes of the party caused the court and the eunuchs to stand firmly together, kicking the scholars away with one foot. Zheng Xuan himself was imprisoned at the age of 45, and he was not pardoned until the age of 58. He was imprisoned for a full 14 years. It is impossible to tell him how well the court is. However, the emperor must have a destiny, and it cannot be controlled by the people.

When Xinma Youfan thought of this, Zheng Xuan couldn't help but think of the famous admonition: "Dai Han people should be Tu Gaoya!" This advocacy, Yuan Gongdao explained: Tutongtu, the passer, the road, Yuan Shuzi highway, he thinks he should be For the emperor. However, Zheng Xuan's disciples brought him a new explanation, which came from Cai and Lao Wang. Dangdang, the car, there are draperies on the car, the tall, the double mouth! Together they are the word Lu Bu. This explanation is much more reliable than Yuan Gonglu's explanation.

It is said that Lao Wang Shu also predicted the life span of the Dahan based on the number of Dayan, which is the "number of four to seven". Based on the context, it should be twenty-eight years. Could it be that the big man is really going to finish his calf? Although it has been said that the people who win the hearts of the people have won the world since ancient times, it is just a fig leaf. Since ancient times, the struggle for hegemony in the world has relied on aristocratic families. What to do with the ordinary people?

Everyone compares with someone who is cruel, cruel, and thick-skinned, turning his hands for the cloud and covering his hands for the rain. As long as there is a huge benefit, there is no bottom line and no promises are kept! Only in this way can we break a path in the world of great controversy. What Lu Fengxian did was for the people of the small people. Almost all the family members didn't care about him. Can such a person flatten the princes and set the world?

"Yesterday afternoon, we went to a rural elementary school. Cai Boxie said that this is also an invention of Lu Fengxian. God knows why he has so many inventions! Here I want to introduce the education system designed by Lu Fengxian. The elementary school only learns to write. The school’s learning ability and self-reliance are mainly aimed at young children. The school is all free and provides board and lodging. Students with excellent academic performance will be rewarded. Intermediate schools begin to divide subjects, such as arithmetic, law, military, etc., with the goal of graduation upon graduation You can work or enter a senior school to study. Those with excellent grades can be exempted from paying tuition, and those who are qualified can reduce tuition. Senior schools are equivalent to Taixue. After graduation, students work at the grass-roots level for one year, and then go back to the high school for one year after passing the examination. After graduation, he was assigned to be an official of about six hundred shi. My understanding is that Lu Feng is first cultivating a bureaucratic system that agrees with his ideas."

"This elementary school is responsible for the reading of children in five nearby villages, and three gentlemen are responsible for teaching more than fifty children. Old man Cai said that this school has just been opened for seven days, and there will be children who will be sent over. According to his idea, a teacher should teach two. Ten students. Three gentlemen are young people, one is from Bingzhou, and two are recruited in Luoyang City. They all smile shyly and work swiftly. The children are under twelve years old, I noticed that they are all wearing new uniforms and their bodies and nails are clean. There is a child who has just been sent here, just after taking a shower, and coming to collect his own things. A set of bedding and two sets of inner and outer clothes are very thick. It’s very warm. A few textbooks were printed on the paper of Old Man Cai’s "The Analects", but without a sheepskin cover. There are toothpaste, toothbrushes, soap, etc."

"I flipped through their textbooks, and they used easy-to-understand nursery rhymes, which were much easier to understand than surnames and thousand-character essays. I asked Old Man Cai if he had compiled this textbook, and he smiled and said, yes Lu Fengxian edited it. He just polished the text. I'm not surprised. I suddenly want to see Lu Fengxian as soon as possible."

"The children all live in the school. They have a holiday every six days and they can go home. I saw more than 20 children practice queuing, gathering, and walking under the command of a one-armed man. Old man Cai said that it was the instructor. After retiring, the disabled veteran, who became a local instructor after Xun was transferred to the first rank, his salary is higher than that of the county magistrate. This placement allows him to teach his experience to the next generation, so that they can stand on their own as soon as possible. Lunch At that time, I chatted with the instructor. He was full of nostalgia for life in the barracks. He turned out to be a county soldier who had experienced many wars. After retiring, he had a very high salary and married a wife. He said that his son would also join the army. "

"The children’s dinner is very rich. There are eggs and meat. Old man Cai said that the children are growing up and they must keep up with nutrition. Milk and eggs are indispensable every day. You can eat meat once every three days, just like we are in A small bowl like the one eaten on the construction site. Old man Cai said that these little things are like bean sprouts now. With such food and proper exercise, they will grow up into young men in less than half a year. When he said this, old man Cai’s His face is full of love, just like looking at his little grandson. This old guy has finally found a job to realize his lifelong dream, and I should really be happy for him."
