Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

Today, the biggest impression of Chang'an on Jian Yong is chaos.

But this kind of chaos is not the chaos of troubled times, but a strange vitality that bursts out because the people are full of longing for the next life.

The former center of Sanfu, the former capital of the Han Dynasty, was full of princes talking and laughing, and the high seats in the hall were all ministers.

Now the Three Qin Dynasties have been restored, the ruined capital has been resurrected, the sky streets are full of Guizhou, and the family of General Zhongping and Prime Minister are nowhere to be seen.

The prosperity of Luoyang was burned to the ground, and the princes' fight against Dong finally left the city full of scorched earth. It is really difficult to find a family of public officials in Chang'an today.

The people gathered in Taixue were noisy and loud, but inexplicably Jian Yong did not hate this kind of chaos and noise, but enjoyed it.

Xianhe?

The voice calling his name was so familiar that Jian Yong didn't even need to turn around before he laughed and said:

I haven't congratulated Kong Ming for his achievements in this battle.

Kong Ming had a faint smile on his face, and he couldn't help but pull Jian Yong and squeeze towards the gate. With the help of his personal guards, it was not too difficult for the two of them to enter Taixue.

Entering inside, Jian Yong found that it was even busier inside, with people repairing walls, rebuilding houses, and carrying baskets carrying meals, etc. busy coming and going.

Kong Ming led Jian Yong through this busy scene lightly. At the same time, Jian Yong also briefly mentioned some of his thoughts on the trip:

Did the spring plowing go well?

Kong Ming nodded slightly:

When I left Chengdu with my lord, I recruited agricultural officers to Hanzhong. After Chang'an was recovered, I immediately went to order agricultural officers from Chengdu and Hanzhong to enter Guanzhong.

At the end of April, we should be able to do our best not to miss the spring plowing.

Jian Yong laughed and admired Kong Ming's self-confidence. He had made this arrangement when he left Sichuan, which showed that he was determined to win Guanzhong:

What about the entrance of Taixue?

“If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools.”

As he spoke, Kong Ming shook his head and said:

Chang'an is different from Jiangling, Chengdu, and Hanzhong. They are almost empty cities. If you want to prosper Chang'an, the people should have the skills to make a fortune in addition to Toyota.

Jian Yong agrees with this point. After all, Gong'an Jiangling is located on the bank of the Yangtze River and blocks the main trade route between Yizhou and Jiangdong.

Chengdu had the treasury accumulated by Liu Yan and his son. Hanzhong was captured very quickly, and Zhang Lu, who fled in a hurry, did not have time to carry too many valuables.

That's not the case in Chang'an. This place was almost an empty city a few years ago.

But thinking about it from another direction, as long as Chang'an can prosper again, sit on the fertile land of Guanzhong, control Hexi in the west, and reach out to the Central Plains in the east, there is a lot to do.

But it goes without saying that Kong Ming must have known better than he thought, and maybe he already had a long-term plan in his head.

Therefore, Jian Yong changed the topic and said:

Kong Ming also summoned students from Yizhou?

Jian Yong didn't know the boy and girl who bumped into him at the city gate, but Jian Yong had traveled north and south for many years, and he could tell from his accent that the boy was from Yizhou, while the girl's accent seemed to be from both north and south, but there was no Guanzhong accent at all.

Kong Ming's steps did not change, but he also said with a smile on his face:

The little Taixue from Chengdu put a lot of effort into it.

Jian Yong also understood the meaning behind the words. Since Emperor Guangwu, the Han Dynasty's high academic style has given rise to countless classics scholars.

Over the years, everyone has understood that a good teacher is hard to find, and a good talent is even harder to find.

Moreover, Jian Yong vaguely remembered that when he was in Yongliang, Yide also said that when Shi Yuan entered Yongliang, he left Xiao Jiang Wei in Hanzhong, which meant showing weakness to Kong Ming.

Of course, this statement was vehemently denied by Shi Yuan, but considering that Kong Ming now also has disciples, it is normal to teach one person and teach a group of people.

We're here. Kong Ming's voice prepared Jian Yong's thoughts.

Looking up from his perspective, the most conspicuous things are the bamboo slips and wooden slips.

After living under Duke Xuande for a long time, Jian Yong was now accustomed to paper, but when he saw the slips occupying nearly half of the house, he was suddenly shocked: he should have been used to this in the first half of his life.

Although Taixue, a former academic institution, was in a messy state, the house had been carefully taken care of. At a glance, the slippers could still be faintly shimmered with oil - this proved that these slips had been maintained by humans.

Jian Yong was well-informed and almost guessed it quickly:

Is this the book collected by Zhong Sili?

Having lived in Yongliang for a long time, Jian Yong has naturally heard all kinds of weird rumors about Zhong Sili.

These rumors all point to Zhong Yao's most well-known hobby: loving books as much as his life, and loving words like crazy.

In this city of Chang'an, which is in dire need of development, Zhong Yao is the only one who can produce so many carefully maintained books.

The room full of slips and scrolls made Jian Yong more interested, but these good moods were quickly wiped out by Kong:

There happens to be a shortage of manpower here. The characters of Xianhe are as handsome as a human being, so it is suitable for me to copy them together.

Jian Yong smiled bitterly, but he would not refuse this job, but he did not forget to ask before writing:

Where is my lord?

My lord went to Chiyang today to organize spring plowing. He will return at dusk. There will be a banquet in honor of Xianhe.

Kong Ming has already begun to copy, writing and writing at the same time.

In this case, Jian Yong found a table and sat down, dipped his pen in his ink, took a scroll of bamboo slips, carefully identified the handwriting on it, and copied it onto the prepared white paper.

Occasionally we have small talk when we are busy:

What explanation did Kong Ming find that allowed him to copy the books in Zhong Sili's room?

It's quite simple. It's just a promise of a hundred rolls of good paper, and the writing of later generations' fonts seen in the light curtain as a gift to Zhong Sili.

Then Zhong Sili is going to be so angry that he forgets to eat and tear apart the character bones?

I haven't seen Zhong Sili for ten days.

Otherwise...it's better to send someone to check on Zhong Sili.

When Jian Yong looked up again, dim sunlight had already cast its light on the wall.

Hurriedly pulling Kong Ming, who was still unfinished, to stand up, Jian Yong was thinking about the banquet in the evening as he ran all the way.

The busy Imperial College in the morning has become quiet, and the people gathered at the door have dispersed, but the streets are still busy.

There were peddlers hawking goods, but more of them were soldiers patrolling with their swords drawn, and people using the last bit of light to repair their houses.

Following Kong Ming's instructions, he continued forward, and finally came to a general's mansion, opened the door and walked in.

This mansion is still dilapidated, but it has been improved a lot after repairs. And who is sitting in the courtyard now if it's not Duke Xuande?

Xianhe is here!

Before Jian Yong could react, Liu Bei came up to him with a big smile, but immediately became a little suspicious:

I just sent a messenger yesterday to urge Xianhe to come to Chang'an, but Xianhe arrived today?

Jian Yong laughed and said that he missed his lord and came to see him.

This rhetoric made Liu Bei laugh out loud. Apart from Yide, I am afraid that only Jian Yong could say such words without any pretense.

After sitting down with each other, Jian Yong also briefly described his experiences during the trip.

Liu Bei was also very interested in this. After all, defeating Xia Houyuan in the military formation was only the simplest part of the big plan of running Guanzhong.

Liu Bei's mid-term goal is to make the people in Guanzhong forget the pain of chaos, to make the warehouses full, to have enough food and clothing, to have a place to live, a house to shelter from the cold, and to have skills at their disposal.

And any one of them is much more difficult than defeating Xia Houyuan.

Otherwise, Cao Cao would not have looked at a Guanzhong that was almost free of charge. It was too broken.

Listening to Jian Yong's emotion about the Jing'an Temple in Linwei, Liu Bei also promised:

This year, we will also build a Jing'an Temple in Yangpingguan, Jiangzhou City, Jiangling City, and Fancheng to commemorate the fallen Han'er.

These words made Jian Yong slightly surprised:

Is General Guan so powerful? Is Jingzhou already determined?

Liu Bei was overjoyed when he said this, and took out a few letters from his arms and laughed:

Important news from Yizhou, Nanzhong has been decided. Wu Yi said that he will lead the army into Yunnan in collaboration with Sima Yi. It is expected that Yunnan will be at peace in May at the latest, and then the southwestern corner of the Han Dynasty will be worry-free!

Also, Wu Yi wrote a letter saying that he met a drugged merchant in Qinzang County and got a bag of improved seeds. According to his description, there may be cotton.

Kong Ming was immediately happy and wished he could fly over to have a look now.

Liu Bei took his time and continued:

Go to Luo to report urgently. Zilong defeated Zhang Liao at Changbanpo and rushed to Jiangling's aid; Zhang Ni and Samoko joined forces to kill Han Dang and sent troops to aid Jiangling; Lu Meng was beheaded by his generals in order to ask for surrender. Jiangling has no worries, the thief The head will be passed down to Wancheng, and Jingbei will be safe.

The amount of information in this nonstop paragraph was too great, and the joy in the corners of Liu Bei's eyes could no longer be suppressed.

Kong Ming immediately cupped his hand and took the secret letter. He read each word carefully, and finally said only one word good with a mixture of praise and admiration.

Of course he also saw the simple line at the end of the letter:

With Zhao Yun as commander and Zhang Yi as deputy general, the combined forces of Jiao, Yi and Jing prefectures defeated Jiangxia.

Kong Ming wrote down the name Gan Yi with great interest, and then saw that there was a Jingzhou coalition army among them, Kong Ming had already guessed:

Zhang Boqi can use the road to communicate with the state and travel thousands of miles to support Wuling. He is truly a flying general!

Liu Bei nodded with joy on his face. He could see Zhang Ni's talent as a general. Therefore, it was a pity that Zhang Ni fell ill and died in battle as recorded in later generations. Fortunately, this fierce general now has a brighter future.

As for the inconspicuous sentence in the urgent report, Zhang Yi and Ma Zhong joined forces to kill Pan Zhang, Liu Bei easily ignored it, and just lamented that Zhang Yi was really a fierce general!

Holding this emergency report, Kong Ming sorted out the situation in his mind and easily made a conjecture:

The envoy from Jiangdong requesting peace talks should already be on the way.

I'm afraid how to deal with it still needs to be discussed with Shiyuan.

Over there, Liu Bei had put the matter aside for the time being and smiled with Jian Yong:

With such good news, a banquet should be held to celebrate. Xianhe should stay for a long time. In more than ten days, the curtain will be opened, so we can watch it together.

Jian Yong happily obeyed this order, and it can even be said that he was looking forward to it.

And just when the banquet was in full swing, a fast horse stopped outside the mansion, and soon a general came over to report to Liu Bei:

General Ma is outside the city now, sending an envoy to praise his lord.

Praise?

Liu Bei was stunned for a moment. Unexpectedly, Ma Mengqi, who had not been heard from for nearly a month, suddenly appeared at this time.

Who did he catch?

The guard bowed and said: Cao General Zhang He.

Jian Yong was the first to react, cupping his hands and saying:

Congratulations, Lord, now Guanzhong is settled, there are no more hidden worries!
