Fall in love with the technology tree [Three Kingdoms]

In the dormitory area to the east of the school palace, Meibinge is one of the few palace-sized buildings.The little emperor and his eunuchs moved here.

Plum ice, also called borneol and borneol, refreshes the brain, dispels silt and disperses fire, and also treats convulsions and fainting in children.The reason why Meibinge is called Meibinge is because there is an extremely rare borneol camphor planted in the yard, which is known as the crown of a hundred medicines.The tree is thirty feet high, and two people can hug each other. It is an old tree.

"Does Your Majesty feel that the orientation of the Meibing Pavilion is a bit off?" A woman who seemed to be in her forties closed the window and saluted in a standard manner.She was the only servant sent by the Cao family to Liu Xie's side, but her words were not reserved at all.

The little emperor was still wearing a full suit of formal attire, and nodded reservedly: "It's a bit off."

"This is to accommodate the ancient tree in the courtyard. When the academy was built, all the trees that had grown here were cut down. Only this dipterocamphorus is rare in the Central Plains. Duke Zhonghua lamented that it was not easy to grow. , deliberately changed the blueprint, and built a pavilion around this tree, which caused the orientation of Meibing Pavilion to be different from other places."

Liu Xie showed a look of surprise on his face. "I saw that tree was ordinary, but I didn't expect there to be such an allusion." He took two steps towards the window, "Can I have a look again?"

"This..." Xiao Huangmen hurriedly dissuaded, "Your Majesty, it's very windy outside."

Liu Xie ignored him, turned his head, and only looked at the woman: "You..."

"My servant's name is Luochi."

"Luo, I'll just take a look."

Luo Chi first took a fur, wrapped it up for Liu Xie, and then took him to the window to enjoy the scenery.The sun had already set, and even the sunset glow had faded away, only some dim light fell on the courtyard.A thin layer of snow accumulated on the trees, but it couldn't cover the green underneath.

"Your Majesty, camphor trees are mostly grown in hot and humid places in the south, and they don't shed their leaves in winter. But camphor trees are not resistant to cold, and it is difficult to see them in the north of the Yangtze River. This borneol camphor tree has survived hundreds of cold winters before it grows. What we see now. Mr. Zhonghua said that no matter what kind of hardships the children living in this yard may suffer, they will be as green as a camphor tree, evergreen in all seasons.” The woman’s gentle voice said, Eloquently explained, ironing people's hearts like warm water.

Liu Xie couldn't help muttering: "The heart is green, evergreen all the year round..." He turned around and wiped his eyes. "Liu Xie knows the deep friendship between the two Dukes Cao."

Luo Chi closed the window to keep out the winter air. "It's getting late, it's time for your majesty to change clothes. The school has prepared hot water, and you can go to soak after your majesty has dinner? It's better to relax when you go back to your dormitory after working all the way."

Liu Xie: "Okay. Reward..." Reward didn't say anything, and all the things he could give to reward people were left in Chang'an.

"Your servant is not someone who will be mean to His Majesty without a reward." Luo Chi smiled, pretending not to see Liu Xie's embarrassed face.

In short, the future is long.

As soon as the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is over, the special training class for the children of high-ranking officials in the academy begins.The protagonist is Liu Xie, accompanied by a large group of second-generation officials.A new life is about to start, and it is impossible to say that Liu Xie is not disturbed.

Expecting and fearing at the same time, Liu Xie didn't even have a good dinner at the Lantern Festival.And Wang Yun, Dong Cheng and others said some things at the table, which made his little head dizzy.

"Luo." After a few days, Luo Chi had already gained the little emperor's initial trust. At this moment, he subconsciously looked at the bright and capable female official with pleading eyes, "Luo, tell me, What kind of person is Zhonghua Gong? Is she strict or generous? I heard that she is a child prodigy, so I knew it from birth."

Luo Chi swiftly took off layers of cumbersome emperor's court clothes for the little emperor. "Mr. Zhonghua is indeed smarter than ordinary people. When I served her, I was also fortunate to listen to her lectures. I remember one time when she gave a lecture on 'the theory of the circle of the earth'. Sixth, No. 70 people, only Master Kong and Mrs. Yan understood it. Now Those two are both pioneers, only I am still a failure."

"Ah." Liu Xie covered his mouth, because he was only wearing regular clothes at this time, which made him less cautious and more innocent.

But at this time, Cao Sheng's voice sounded outside the door: "That's your weakness in arithmetic, don't arrange me."

All the eunuchs serving in the room shivered, only Luo Chi, who was caught upright, remained calm and knelt down to salute.

"Your Majesty." The voice outside the door continued, "Is it convenient for me to come in?"

Liu Xie hurriedly straightened his clothes, ran to sit on the seat and knelt down, coughed twice: "Cao Zi, please come in."

Only then did the little yellow gate open the palace door, and a woman wrapped in a white cloak was ushered in. She was no longer young, but her complexion was still snowy, and her temperament was so perfect that her age was even blurred.

After the host and guest had finished seeing the ceremony, they continued the conversation just now.

"I came here tonight to give His Majesty the books and ink for tomorrow. The homework for the first two months is not difficult, so Your Majesty need not worry."

The books are four thin paper-bound books, "Elementary Mathematics", "Kyushu Geography", "General Knowledge of Farming and Water Conservancy", and "Children's Reading History", all of which have added a lot of illustrations, colored drawings, which are interesting to look at.In this era when most people read bamboo slips, wherever there are picture books to read, Liu Xie couldn't bear to put them down.

Luo Chi saw that he was fascinated by it, so he had to persuade him in a low voice: "Your Majesty, night reading hurts your eyes. And Duke Zhonghua is still waiting for you."

"Cao Zi..." Liu Xie raised his hand, "Student..."

"As long as your Majesty likes it, it's worth the hard work of the children who made up books and pictures." A Sheng pressed Liu Xie's hand, "In addition to textbooks, there are also pens and inks, which are not expensive compared to those in Luoyang Palace in the past. But it’s durable. Besides, here’s a schoolbag and a pencil case.”

Both the school bag and the pencil case are made of linen, which look rough when placed with the exquisite books, but the size is just right for the books and ink.

"When I opened a school in Liaodong, some students were from poor families, and their schoolbags and pencil cases had to be sewn by their mothers and sisters. After the student became famous, this custom has been preserved. Even my nephews I used a sackcloth bag sewn by my sister-in-law. It is not uncommon for students to compare the craftsmanship of their mothers and sisters. This time, the majesty’s enrollment is different from the previous regulations, but my sister-in-law said that no matter whether your majesty needs it or not , Your Majesty can't lack what others have."

Luo Chi took the initiative to take the linen materials, and looked back and forth: "It's really Mrs. Ding's handicraft, I haven't seen it for several years."

When she said this, Xiao Huangmen, who was originally disgusted, had no choice but to swallow the ugly words down his throat, and instead muttered in a low voice: "Such a shabby thing, I'm afraid it will lose your majesty's status."

Liu Xie glared at Xiao Huangmen: "Where can you talk nonsense about Cao Gonggong's wife's intentions? What kind of person are you? Why don't you put it away properly?"

Ah Sheng's eyes flickered, but he didn't say anything after all.

The time spent with the children always goes by so fast.In a blink of an eye, it is March when the grass grows and the warblers fly.As the weather got warmer, Ah Sheng changed his lecture location to the South Hall, which had the best lighting. The curtains around the classroom were all drawn, and outside was the square with a forest of stone scriptures and steles.

Yang Biao, Cai Yong, Xun Shuang, Zhong Fu... all the bigwigs who are holding empty positions in the academy are sitting in the south hall to listen to lectures.Some squares further away were crowded with scholars studying, and even families of merchants mixed in.

"Yesterday, we learned how to measure the upper limit of conscription. Conclusion, Your Majesty, do you still remember?" Asheng asked with a pleasant face.

Liu Xie stood up, first bowed to Cao Sheng, and then faced Xia Houchong, Xun Yun and other students. "Conscription is limited, one is population, and the other is grain and grass. If Qing and Yanzhou are all young and strong, they can get 60 people; however, the three armies will go first before mobilizing grain and grass. If the fields are to be cultivated and there will be no famine in the coming year, at most only It can mobilize 10 people. Now there are more than 15 standing troops in Erzhou, so the people live in hardship."

"Yesterday, I didn't say how many troops there are in Yanzhou and Qingzhou. Your Majesty has gone back to do your homework. It's very good."

The little emperor couldn't help laughing when he was praised, and sat down happily.

"Now that you are young, let's just talk about rough calculations. When it comes to government affairs, things are much more complicated: field soldiers are different from armored soldiers; civilian husbands are different from regular soldiers; the fertility of the land in each city and county is different. For conscription The bearing capacity is also different. The values ​​obtained are not so exact as integers, they have to be meticulous and meticulous. Mr. Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, Cheng Yu and others are doing these tedious tasks under Meng Degong's account. Small sight."

The children, from the age of twelve or thirteen to the age of seven or eight, all replied in unison: "I want to be taught."

Liu Xie also took a smug look, and looked more solemn on his face.

A Sheng turned his head to comfort him: "Your Majesty has studied for less than three months. If you can know that the supply of food and grass is the shortcoming of conscription, and know that Yanzhou is currently over-armed, it can be regarded as meeting my expectations. Wait until the "Agriculture and Water Conservancy General Knowledge" "After finishing the study, we will study the volume "Garrison Field", so that Your Majesty will have a clearer understanding of the current situation.

"By that time, the spring plowing just happened to be over. Let's go to Tuntian Village in the east and let you identify the five grains."

Xia Houchong was an active child, and he couldn't sit still when he heard that he could go out: "Second Uncle, I heard that you can eat roasted locusts when you go to the fields. We can also hunt wild rabbits."

Ah Sheng closed his eyes, and said in a light voice, "If you fail the mid-term test, Ah Chong will not be allowed to go, and you will be punished to copy books."

Xia Houchong's face immediately collapsed, causing the students to burst into laughter.Even Liu Xie grinned so hard that his teeth showed.

"Yesterday I had a hard time doing the calculations. Today I will talk to you about some popular things. I will raise a topic, and everyone can speak freely. There is only one article. When the three sticks of incense are burned out, those who have not spoken will be fined a page." Cao Sheng's words Immediately cheer up the kids.

"As the saying goes, a wise man will lose a thousand things, and a fool will gain something if he has a thousand things to worry about. It has always been said that Qin Shihuang was tyrannical and that Qin Dynasty II died. Today, we will do the opposite and discuss the achievements of the first emperor... ..."

This question is not difficult. After Xun Yun was the first to answer "Unify the whole world, divide the prefectures and counties", answers such as "Repair the Zhengguo Canal" and "Attack the Huns in the north" came up one after another.Finally, after Asheng emphasized the shaping significance of "unified weights and measures" and "unified characters" to the nation-state, the discussion class came to an end.

The children went to the back in twos and threes to have lunch and prepare for the afternoon riding and archery lessons.

The crowd listening in the square slowly dispersed at this time, although for those who sat far away, they could only hear a few vague words, and the people in front had to repeat them.But they still persisted until the end of the course.

Jokes, one is the orphan of the former emperor, and the other is a famous scholar, who would be difficult to meet at other times.

Ah Sheng stayed at the end, packed up the teaching tools, and then slowly walked down from the high platform.The sun is a bit harsh, but this year's eyes are better than last year, it is no longer a white and black situation.

Teaching and educating people is a relatively easy day.

When I met Yang Biao head-on, I bowed to her at the bottom of the steps, bending very low.Ah Sheng quickly threw the debris in his hands to the guards, and raised Yang Biao up with both hands: "What does the captain mean?"

"I have been listening to Duke Zhonghua's lectures for more than two months, and I have seen with my own eyes that His Majesty has changed from being panic-stricken to being generous, confident and discerning. I owe Duke Zhonghua this bow." He finished the gift regardless of the obstruction. , and then stared at A Sheng's face with an extremely serious expression: "If the Han Dynasty can be revived, it must be the merit of Brother Xian."

Ah Sheng took half a step back and returned a big gift: "I'm terrified."

Xun Shuang stroked his already white beard, with a happy smile on his face: "Zhonghua's lectures are easy to understand and progressive, which is a hundred times better than boring lectures, which makes me ashamed. I don't think -- I didn't pay enough attention to teaching you before. .”

"Master Xun is making fun of me. What I teach them is always eager for quick success, not as good as what Master Xun taught back then."

"Ah." Xun Shuang sighed, "Times have changed, but in troubled times, it's better to survive. Now he is obsessed with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and claims to be a madman. What use is he to his family and country?"

Several old ministers sighed at each other again, and finally waved their hands.

"Don't mention these bad things. Go to the city and have a bowl of herbal tea."

As the reputation of the academy gradually expanded, celebrities and heroes from other states and counties began to come here.The county seat of Xu County has also expanded and expanded again and again, with restaurants, inns, and shops, a scene of prosperity.It is only said that the height of the outermost new wall and the number of troops stationed have reached the size of the county capital.

It was in this spring that Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei led their horses into the tall new city gate of Xu County.
