I am not in the position of Zen [Three Kingdoms]

Chapter 18 Chen Gong enters the city

Luoyang closed the city gates and cleaned up Dong Zhuo's remnants.The sentencing lasted for six full days. Except for Xu Rong and his subordinates, all the Liangzhou soldiers were pulled out to confess their crimes. A total of more than [-] people were beheaded, and thousands of people were punished as coolies for more than five years.The rest were dispersed and incorporated into the army, and the horses in Liangzhou were also confiscated, and distributed to the newly established horse farm in Shaofu, Lu Bu, and the Imperial City Army.

When Luoyang opened the city on the seventh day, the city of Luoyang had taken on a completely new look.The bloodstains on the ground were cleaned completely, and the domineering soldiers in the city were never seen again.

Chen Gong was delayed for more than a month on the way to Beijing due to some incidents, and only then did he arrive in Luoyang.I happened to meet Luoyang Kaicheng, and when I entered the city, what I saw was a well-ordered Luoyang.People in civilian clothes, work badges around their necks, and red armbands pinned to their sleeves, men and women, old and young, seemed to be responsible for cleaning and patrolling the streets.

Some civilians were not afraid to shrink back when they saw them, but greeted them with a smile.Chen Gong was a little curious, and hurriedly bought a steamed bun on the street, and asked the owner about it.

The shop owner called them the newly elected "urban management" by the emperor's decree, and there was no lack of envy in his words. These people are common people with good conduct. You can support your family with your work.

According to Liu Xie's long-standing idea, these people were selected from the sentencing day by Xun You and Liu Bei to be local good people in Luoyang who never looted money.These people are still civilians and are not given official positions. They are responsible for maintaining order in the city, so as to prevent officials and soldiers from bullying civilians and causing conflicts when maintaining order.

Chen Gong was amazed.

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "You can tell you are a foreigner just by listening to this accent. You don't even know it. It's changed now!"Seeing Chen Gong dumbfounded was even more proud: "The little old man was lucky to be in the front that day, and saw the emperor slaying evil spirits and Dong thieves with his own eyes. It really is a god who came to save the suffering!"

Chen Gong digested a large amount of information, and saw that not far from the city gate, there was a bright red flag with four characters "Recruiting the Red Army" written on it. The flag was fluttering very clearly.As there were only three people registering, there was a long queue there.Chen Gong stepped forward to take a closer look, and saw the stone stele explaining the conscription. Anyone who kills one enemy, no matter men, women, old or young, will get ten mu of fertile land and will never be taxed. .

He shook his head: "Where did General Tian come from?" After inquiring about the location of Luoyang School, he went straight there.

After the day when the verdicts were pronounced, the Luoyang Menxue School resumed its normal exchanges. There was an endless stream of people who came to copy books and hammer out books, and there were also merchants who came to hammer out books and sold them all over the country.

Chen Gong walked around the Luoyang Gate School and saw many masterpieces such as "Mozi", "Laozi", "Zhuangzi", "Xunzi" and "Hanfeizi". Since the beginning of Confucianism, the theories of these schools of thought can hardly be found in the official traces. Now that they stand here majesticly, it is worth pondering the thoughts of the one who is in charge of the court.

He was walking around here with his luggage on his back. After a while, a kind aunt with a red armband came over: "Is Da Lang here to copy books? Go ahead and turn around in the alley. There is a street full of sellers." Pen, ink, paper and inkstone."

Chen Gong saluted quickly: "Auntie, I'm here to wait for someone."

"Oh, if you have an appointment with someone to attend school, go to the red pavilion to register," the aunt pointed out: "If you wait for someone to leave school, go to the corridor and sit, and you can't block the door."

Chen Gong agreed, but he didn't want to block the door, so he continued to stroll, and saw many people gathered in front of Yihuangbang, discussing, they all looked like scholars, some spoke with high voices, as if they were arguing about something.

I took a closer look, but saw that there were four big words "recruitment notice" written on the list, recruiting doctors, lecturers and gentlemen of Luoyang School (equivalent to modern professors, lecturers and ordinary teachers).Below are ten test questions, and the test question ranked first is impressively "On the Laws of Merchants in the Early Han Dynasty".The next thing to write is the salary and treatment. Nowadays, these positions do not have official positions, but the treatment is excellent. In addition to the respectable status, generous treatment, and the lonely books in the royal library can be borrowed at will.

What these scholars are arguing about is the idea of ​​​​solving the problem.Chen Gong listened quietly for a while, then went to the pen, ink, paper and inkstone street that Auntie mentioned, thinking about writing a letter to his family.This street is also extremely lively, not only selling pens, ink, paper and inkstones, but also books.Some scholars who don't have money, just pick up some books in the bookstore.

Among them, there is a Luoyang bookstore which is extremely tall and has three floors. The first floor is connected by three or four large rooms. It is very spacious. The walls around the room are filled with exquisite books. stool.

Chen Gong was displeased: it would be too indecent to sit with legs spread apart in such a clean place.When I looked carefully, I saw that the sitting people did not reveal any unsightly places. It turns out that trousers have become popular among the people since they were promoted among civil and military officials.Literati and refined scholars would wear a pair of leggings under their robes, but common people would go there to buy new clothes when they saw that the Luoyang garment factory sold short brown and coarse linen trousers cheaper than cloth.

Just a little thirsty, Chen Gong entered the private seat on the second floor.Xiaoer immediately brought up the boiled tea, fragrant and soft peach blossom glutinous rice cake, melon seeds and peanuts.After Chen Gong took his seat, he turned to the back and said, "Brother, why don't you come out and say something?"

The man from the shadow of the stairs came out and said with a smile: "Sir, you have good eyesight. The city guards below recognized you when they saw Lu Yin. My master has been waiting for you to enter the capital for a long time."

"I don't know who your master is?" Chen Gong's thoughts changed sharply, several names flashed in his mind.

City guard: "The villain doesn't know either, it's just what the superiors told you. Please stay calm, we've already reported your news."

"Thank you for your trouble, Chen Gong will wait for you at the Luoyang Inn."
