The portable magic tower of the Three Kingdoms

This is what Xun Yu is most worried about, for fear that Guo Jia will be affected.

"I'm different from you. I have nothing. Because of this, what I can pay is everything I have." Guo Jia shook his head, "What's more, what he lacks now is a trusted scribe."

The icing on the cake is worse than sending charcoal in the snow.This statement may not appear in this era, but everyone understands the concept.

"What else can I say, I can only hope that your choice is not wrong." Xun Yu is actually struggling, but he has too many burdens and he has no choice.

Even now, his identity is only a county official, and he can leave that kind at any time.

"Wen Ruo, let me ask you..." Guo Jia gradually calmed down when he heard the words, "We have buried our heads in our studies, and besides planning to make some achievements, is there nothing else?"

"Who knows... Since I was a child, I only know that our family has been emphasizing to us, either explicitly or secretly, that we are part of the Xun family in Yingchuan." Xun Yu sighed, family things are sometimes so troublesome.

It can give me a lot of convenience, for example, there is no shortage of expenses since I was a child, and I don’t need to worry about making a living.There are many books, many of which are not even outside, and the notes inside are the essence left by generations of ancestors.

Therefore, the children of big families are born with better background than ordinary people, and it is easier to become an official.Besides, there is a saying in the officialdom itself, that a high-ranking official with two thousand shi can shade an heir, or even a nephew as an official.

However, the family is also a bondage. The family, the country, and the world all know that this is taken out of context, but without the upbringing of the family, how can they get their current glory?After all, this is the era when benevolence and filial piety are paramount. If even the family is not loyal, how can they guarantee loyalty to the country? !

Suddenly, Xun Yu only felt a sense of powerlessness, which began to fill his body.

"I've seen a lot of refugees..." Guo Jia said slowly, "I've seen too many natural and man-made disasters, people starved to death on the side of the road, and rich people's families were still singing and dancing. I don't understand, is this the prosperous age of the great man? Then I felt wrong, this is definitely not the peaceful and prosperous world in my impression."

He looked at Xun Yu: "Wen Ruo, don't you want to see a peaceful and prosperous world where the big man dances and dances?"

"I..." Xun Yu choked up, not knowing what to say, his mind was in a mess.

Chapter 258 Cai Yong is Here

Xun Yu suffered from insomnia, this was the first time he suffered from insomnia.When he woke up the next day, he was very listless. Xun Yue and others could tell that this clan brother (brother) seemed to have something on his mind.

"Wen Ruo..." As the eldest brother, Xun Yue was naturally the first to speak, "If you have anything to say, we can help you share the burden."

"Thank you, brother, for your concern." Xun Yu thanked, "Actually, I'm more confused..."

Xun Yu narrated the conversation with Guo Jia last night, but of course withheld some of the content, so as not to cause trouble to Guo Jia.

"Everyone has his own aspirations. If he wants to join Liu Tao's family, let him do it." After hearing this, Xun Yue also had a strange look on his face.Xun Yu's words really touched a certain chord in his heart.Hidden under his indifferent appearance, there is a certain emotion in the deepest part of his heart.

It's just that he is 37 years old, and he has already passed that passionate age.

After a pause, he said: "Liu Tao is very kind to the people of Li. But it is based on harming the interests of the family. He never imagined that governing the world would be possible without the help of the family."

The officials below are mostly from gentry or aristocratic families. If they deliberately oppose Liu Tao, they can completely turn his measures that benefit the people into measures that harm the people.After offending such a family, the people below will not benefit, who will support him?

Why did Wang Mang's innovation fail at the beginning? In the final analysis, this is the case.

"Brother seems to have forgotten that he plans to open a library in the cloud." Xun Yu sighed, "I'm afraid he did. He expected this possibility early on, so he planned to cultivate talents himself for his use."

After a pause, he said solemnly: "What we know is that the prefect opened a paper-making workshop in Luoyang. This workshop is getting bigger and bigger, and the output is getting higher and higher. The price of paper has dropped significantly. Some less wealthy families , can also afford.

Everyone in Luoyang probably only thought that he wanted to make money. Now that he wants to open a library here, the purpose of opening a paper workshop has been exposed. "

With cheap paper and a library, it means that there are countless poor families, and there is a place where they can read and copy books.Perhaps one day, Yunzhong will become a place with the richest culture, and it will also be his biggest talent production place.

"That should have happened years ago, right? Could it be that he had already started planning at that time?" Xun Yue couldn't believe it, did Liu Tao plan so deeply?

"Brother Yu was tossing and turning on the bed last night, thinking about when he started to make arrangements, when he started to have special ideas, and then found that he might have been planning since the appearance of Jiuxianniang. That is to say, two years ago , even earlier, he had already started planning...but it doesn't make sense." Xun Yu shook his head.

"It really doesn't make sense, there is a problem with the logic." Xun Yue nodded, "Without the Yellow Turban rebellion, there is no possibility of him rising. The previous layout was just for making money."

"That's why I feel terrible..." Xun Yu said in a low voice, "If illogical speculations are to be made reasonable, then the only possibility is the prefect, who seems to be able to predict the future. He foresaw the Taiping Sect a year in advance. To rebel."

"Hiss..." When Xun Yu said that, several members of the Xun clan around him gasped.Being able to divination can only get a vague result at most. If you can really predict the future, it will be terrible.

"I even suspect..." Xun Yu added, "He knows me and Guo Jia because of some kind of future."

"This can't be just a joke!" Xun Fai reminded, after all, this is too unbelievable, unimaginable to terrible!

"Wang Zuozhicai..." Xun Biao said suddenly, "Do you still remember the prefect's evaluation of Wen Ruo at the banquet? When did Wen Ruo have the title of Wang Zuozhicai? Knowing this title, he still recruited Wen Ruo... ..."

From another perspective, can it be explained that Liu Tao has the idea of ​​becoming king?Not to mention, according to Xun Yu, it is estimated that Liu Tao sent people to Yingchuan for the purpose of attracting Xun Yu and Guo Jia to Yunzhong.

In fact, the two of them were indeed not in the queue going north, they just followed them out of curiosity to have a look.In a sense, the two of them were indeed successfully 'fished' by Liu Tao.

"However, all of this is just our speculation!" Xun Yue clapped his hands, reminding these clan brothers who were starting to think wildly.There is no real evidence in itself, if random thinking can convict people, then the world will be over long ago.

"Then, shall we still stay in the cloud?" Xun Biao looked at Xun Yue.Since Liu Tao's policy is to benefit the world at the expense of the aristocratic family, it is already considered a class enemy.

"Why bother? There are Youruo and Gongda at home!" Xun Yue shook his head, "When we first came, we hung up our seals and left, but we kept our testimony. Since we went north, we said that we would work hard for the prosperity and stability of the big man. , so how can we give up halfway?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard the words. Indeed, among the people of the same generation, there was another Xun Chen and Xun Youruo.There is another one, Xun You, Xun Gongda, who is older than Xun Yu even though he is a nephew.

With the support of these two people in the family, they can be less worried on Yunzhong's side.

"I'm curious..." Xun Yue concluded, "What kind of future the prefect has seen, what preparations are he making, and what will he do in the future. The conditions here in Yunzhong are indeed terrible, but again, there is no With so many forces entangled, you can smear it here at will."

In other words, the talents and learning of people like myself can be brought into full play.Whether it is an official or an official, this is a very comfortable thing.

"However, this library is the only one where we can't be the leader." Xun Yue exhorted. Liu Tao approached him several times later, hoping that he would take the lead, but he refused all of them. auxiliary.

"Well..." Of course everyone knew that they helped Liu Tao, at most it was their own business.If you help to build the library, then you will be the public enemy of the gentry in the world, and this should be counted on their family.

What they didn't know was that at this moment, in Liu Tao's mansion, he was receiving a special guest.

"Abducting the old man's daughter to this place in the cloud, Liu Taishou is really capable!" Cai Yong looked at Liu Tao with a strange expression, and now he didn't know what emotion he should use to face him.

Because of his daughter, he returned to Luoyang early and did not wait for Dong Zhuo to conquer.But in the same way, in the correspondence with Cai Yan during this period, Liu Tao, the general of Yubayashi, and his old father, can feel that his daughter likes him.

His daughter became a widow not long after she got married, and he was also somewhat indebted. His daughter wanted to find another partner, and he had no objection.It's just that this person already has a marriage contract, and she is somewhat dissatisfied with wanting to be an equal wife.

The result was good. When I returned to Luoyang, I heard that Liu Tao moved to the prefect of Yunzhong, the general of Zhenbei.That's not counting, he abducted his daughter.

After tossing and turning in the bed all night, he finally rejected His Majesty's conquest and traveled all the way to come here.

Then, as an old man, he took a good look at the young man in front of him.

Chapter 259

Yes, he owes a lot to his eldest daughter, so he won't interfere with her daughter's finding a partner for him.But as a father, he needs to test Liu Tao to see if he can really give his daughter happiness.

So he came, mainly because he had some distrust of the court.In case he stood by Liu Hong again and charged forward for him, not only would he have to face the attack from the aristocratic family, but at the critical moment His Majesty gave up on him for certain benefits...

Yes, yes, His Majesty may be able to believe it, but he doesn't trust the ten servants around him.These people are nothing in front of Liu Hong, but they are used to domineering in front of others.Even forgetting that everything about them was only given by His Majesty.

Cai Yong discovered this problem, that is, Shi Changshi unknowingly planned to monopolize Liu Hong's attention.If you want to replace them, you have to face their suppression.This is also the root cause of his unwillingness to stay in Luoyang.

"I'm not afraid of Master Cai's jokes..." Liu Tao could only smile apologetically when faced with the aggressiveness of the 'old man'.
