The flood receded, but there was still continuous autumn rain, as if it was falling continuously.Raindrops flow down the grooves between the tiles, forming a large water curtain.Ah Sheng half leaned on the table, looking at the three-color sketches brought back by Yan Wen one by one: the twenty-seven and Tian Niu who is already an adult, the Qin Liu who grows up and looks better, and the tanned A Xiu ; the beautiful Shengang, the well-ordered buildings in Haikou, the endless rice fields and neat windbreak forests, and the savage tribal structure of the South Island.

"Is Ah Wen safe and sound all the way?" Ah Sheng's face was gentle.After the number of people belonging to the South Island exceeded [-], she could no longer feel uncomfortable if it wasn't for a major event such as the sinking of a sea ship or the outbreak of a plague that lost hundreds of people.Even though more than a dozen third-phase students were killed in a surprise attack on the South Island just now, her attention was still more focused on the follow-up suppression.

The first-term student is the first old man who came out of Luoyang Yuyingtang. He followed her from Luoyang to Qiaoxian to Jiaozhou and Qingzhou, and his relationship was extraordinary.In addition, group leaders like Nian Qi, Qin Liu, Zhao Qi, A Bai, and Tian Niu have been trained to be independent, and girls like Ding Xi and Nu Qu also manage the weaving workshop and the paper workshop. What is missing? Either one would make her heart ache.

The number of second-term students whose number swelled due to the Yan and Qing epidemics was also brought by herself.When she was in Qiao County, she had to teach the second-term students in person every few days. Whether it was philosophical thinking, scientific common sense, or the mental health of teenagers, she personally worried about it.

When she was in the third period, she had already left Qiao County to study in Yingchuan.Therefore, apart from the relatives like Cao Yu, or the outstanding children who were sent to Yingchuan for special training, her impression of the third-term students was only vague figures and the results of the final test paper.

As for the thousands of fourth-year students brought about by the famine last year, they have just completed the first round of brainwashing.Just by looking at the quantity, one can tell that she has no way to take care of them one by one.We can only build a more institutionalized school system to ensure the education and development of these children.

"I can trust the troops led by the [-]th. Whether it is the military appearance in Ah Wen's painting, the military discipline reported by Ah Shi, or the record of Tian Niu, all of them have exceeded my expectations. Tian Niu's administrative integrity is enough, he is an honest man. How about Qin Liu being the principal...?"

Yan Wen paid homage: "Qin Langjun is becoming more and more majestic, but he likes to use the sword to take the edge, and the natives are afraid of him."

Ah Sheng closed the sketchbook. "I haven't seen Sister Wen for many years, and we have a quarrel with me. Although you don't talk much, your ideas have always been very righteous. If you have any ideas, just say them."

"Don't dare to be the master, sister." Yan Wen bowed again, then straightened his body and frowned slightly, "Qin Liu is in the South Island to stir up disputes among the natives. Those who love money use money to drive them, and those who love others use righteousness to kidnap If there were grievances among the tribes, they would not let them go. In the past three years, dozens of native tribes have been destroyed by chaos on the island, and there are many people who want to move to Haikou Port because of the fear of war. However, he He pretended to shirk on the grounds of lack of food, and severely restricted the number of places. Therefore, all the natives who were incorporated into slavery were grateful to him. There was an endless stream of people who came to defect while fearing. On the other hand, the natives in the school who were severely punished by him Children will become extremely fond of him, and no one is allowed to say that he is not good at all. I have never seen a person who plays so frequently with a big stick and a sweet date. This person is too fond of playing with people's hearts, and he is easy to lose control when he is away for many years."

Ah Sheng smiled self-deprecatingly: "You just got more people, so you should start to guard against your own people?"

This made Yan Wen uneasy: "I don't mean that. Qin Langjun is still very loyal to the master. It's just that his somewhat evil personality, the master has to consider..."

"A Shi." Ah Sheng interrupted Yan Wen's words.

A Shi is still dressed in unremarkable dark linen clothes, standing with a sword in the posture of a girl, and the years seem to have stopped on her body. "What is the master's order?"

"Thank you for bringing Ah Wen and others over from the south."

"promise."

"I just need to trouble you to continue sending letters."

"promise."

As he flipped through the archives in the space, Ah Sheng issued an order: "Let Du Mi from Qiao County and Qin Liu from Nandao come to my side. The population has increased, so it's time for us to build a spy team. Du Mi was monitoring Workshop, Qin Liu also likes to do this, so let's institutionalize it."

Neither Yan Wen nor Ah Shi asked what the "spy team" was, and listened quietly to Ah Sheng's continued talk.

"The school in Qiao County is empty, so it will be abolished. Let the original principal of Qiao County, A Bai, go to Nandao to replace Qin Liu, and give them at least one year for the handover, so that there will be no trouble."

"Ah Kui has already led people to explore the location of Nandao Stone Green Iron Mine and Jiaonan Coal Mine. Carpenter Ai said that it is enough for the time being, so let him be transferred back too. Ah Kui and Qin Liu have been on good terms since they were young, and it happened to let them The two go north together."

"Finally, Tian Ma has been by my side for too long, and it's time to go out and see the world. Mr. Kong is busy building ships, and he said that he can't do enough for Weihai Academy, so let Tian Ma be the vice principal of the airborne. I remember you a few years ago Getting angry with Ah Bai, thinking that his school discipline is not strict, how about trying to lead students by yourself this time?"

There were no objections from the few people in the room, and this personnel transfer was finalized.Ah Shi's action efficiency is at the S level, and he picked up Tian Ma and set off that day.Those who stayed in Yingchuan to take care of Ah Sheng's daily life became Yan Wen and Luo Chi's two original maids.

"Ah Wen has been living outside for a few years, do you have any plans to get married?" Ah Sheng asked her, "You are a slave, and you don't have to pay extra taxes to the court just because you are old enough to be unmarried. But if you have someone you like, Just tell me, don’t worry. If you don’t get married, you’re painting for me; if you’re married, you’re still painting for me. It’s no different.”

Yan Wen casually mentioned the names of a few family servants, and when she said A Sheng, she understood that Yan Wen was not a love supremacist, and her husband candidates were all very pragmatic: they could understand her within the system, and the family could understand her. Being weak will not interfere with her freedom, and she is honest, responsible and willing to work hard, so that's fine.

"I see. Later, I will ask the mother of the Zen family to find out about these people."

Yan Wen smiled slightly: "Thank you." Then she consciously went out to prepare hot water, which was her old profession.

When she came back, she happened to run into Xun You, Xun Chen and Xun Yu who were visiting on the day off at the door.

Xun Yu has already greeted Yan Wen in a serious manner: "This elder sister has an extraordinary bearing, but Yu has never seen it before."

Yan Wen held the kettle, teacup and other objects with both hands, and slightly bent his knees.

"This is Yan Wen." A Sheng introduced generously, "I'm from the same group of old people as Luo Chi. Because Tian Ma is going to study to become a steward, she came from her hometown to take care of me."

A Sheng spoke candidly, and it was her family matter, so none of the Xun family members asked any more questions, only Xun Yu, who was still young, looked at Yan Wen a few times curiously: "I thought Luo Chi was a special case, now it seems that Ah Sheng is really generous to his servants. Regardless of Tian Ma's ability to read and write, even the maidservants have a good manner."

Ah Sheng didn't answer, leaning on the table and laughing: "It's raining, why do you have the time to come to me?" She has been well nourished since she was a child, so she started to suffer from strokes last year, and her chest also has heaves that can be seen if you look closely. The way of reclining from time to time can especially reflect the slender figure of the girl.

"Cough." Xun Chen coughed, and looked away slightly: "Come here to eat and drink."

Xun You still looks like a gentleman who doesn't look sideways, and speaks with a three-pointed smile: "What spices are burned in Ah Sheng's house? It's so refreshing."

"Xian's little quadruple." A Sheng said lazily, "It's made of orange peel, pear peel, etc. After all, I'm an ordinary person."

Xun You still respects her very much: "Ah Sheng is noble and pure. Whether it is studying music theory, etiquette, history, or Hexiang, he can break the stereotypes and return to the basics."

"Ayou lifted me too high."

Xun Chen knocked on the table, interrupting the business exchange between Xun You and Cao Sheng, and his eyes fell on Ah Sheng's chin. "I'm thirsty. Ask Ah Sheng for a cup of tea first."

There is nothing wrong with drinking brewed tea instead of sencha.Of course, Ah Sheng would not take out the glass teapot and teacup, it would be too much to show off his wealth.She used her usual clay pots and cups.Such a cup of tea is not as good-looking as a glass, but the taste is still the same.

"Good tea, but a bit weak." Xun Chen drank three cups in one go, then smacked his lips to comment.

"I'm wronged, Ah Chen. I can't drink green onion, ginger, and corn in the tea soup. Let me make another pot for you." Ah Sheng pretended to get up to make tea.

Xun Chen quickly reached out to stop her: "No, it's better to cook the meat."

Although Ah Sheng also thought Uncle Mi's braised pork was delicious, she really didn't know why Xun Chen had such a big obsession with meat.Every meal must be ordered, no meat is not happy. "Understood—where's Yau? What do you want for lunch?"

Xun You turned to look at little Xun Yu: "What would Uncle Yu want to eat?"

Ah Sheng had a toothache. This is not good for a big family. It is very common for seniority and age to overlap. The 11-year-old Xun You wants to call the five-year-old Xun Yu Uncle, but at this time, everyone has no words. As Xun Yu grows up, it is not appropriate to call "A Yu", so I can only call him "Uncle Yu". .

Xun Yu knelt down on the seat in a dignified manner, like a little grown-up. "I want to eat baked tofu, and the tofu here at Asheng is the best tofu."

"Then bake tofu on an iron plate." Ah Sheng nodded to Yan Wen, and Yan Wen bowed out of the room and went to the kitchen to place an order.

While waiting for the meal, everyone chatted about the latest current news.

To say that the most vigorous topic of the Xun family this year is not last year's severe drought or this year's flood, but the scourge of the party.

The party is not fresh.The party is good and beautiful.In ancient times, this word had multiple origins, indicating relatives, household registration, friends, and even as a verb to express learning, which is difficult to distinguish when mixed together.But fortunately, at this time at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the word "Dang" had initially acquired political significance, and its mainstream usage was almost the same as that of later generations.

The scourge of party imprisonment can be summed up in popular words, that is, the emperor believed that the scholars formed party members to endanger the imperial power, so he announced a list of party members-people on the list were not allowed to be officials!

Deprivation of political rights for life will kill the old family.Aristocratic family, Shiqing Shilu is the aristocratic family.One generation is not an official, two generations are not an official, after three generations, who will recognize you as an aristocratic family?Without political power, it's just a local rich man who can be bullied by everyone.

What is even more frightening is the signal revealed in this order: the Eastern Han Dynasty, which was established with the support of the aristocratic family, has stood on the opposite side of the aristocratic family.The emperor didn't trust scholars, he trusted eunuchs more.

This coup d'état, which shook families of all sizes across the country, was called "the scourge of the party's imprisonment".From the day the decree was promulgated, the counterattack of scholars has never stopped.Having lost the high ground of politics, they still have public opinion.Just like the opposition parties in later generations rely on newspapers to find fault with the ruling party all day long, and it is a reason to use this to gain a sense of existence.

There were no newspapers in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but there were clear discussions in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Didn't the emperor think that some people were not good enough to prevent them from becoming officials?We have to say good things about them.All of a sudden, all kinds of titles came out, such as "Three Monarchs", "Ba Jun", "Ba Gu", "Ba Chu", "Ba Ji", and their own brand characters from various places. extraordinary.

But what are the criteria for judging?It's not just about family background, face, who can brag, and who scolds eunuchs very much.After all, a super-scholar like Xun Shuang was not rated as an "Eight Talents", and Xun Yu, who is so smart and funny and doesn't do things all day long to make friends and scold eunuchs, became an "Eight Talents".So these "Ba Gu" and "Ba Ji" can be used as a joke to tout a few sentences.You can tell by looking at the numbers. In order to forcefully make up four eights, there must be a few fake embroidered pillows mixed in like Xun Yu, plus the current name itself is crooked, tsk tsk, don't say it.

Oh, who is Xun Yu you ask?His greatest achievements that will be recorded in the annals of history will be Xun Shu's nephew, Xun Shuang's cousin, Xun You's grandfather's elder brother, Xun Yu's...a distant relative.

"Ayou's great-uncle is one of the freshly baked 'Eight Talents'? Is there any story?" Asheng joked.

If it were Xun You who was on the original historical line, he might be proud of it; but after hanging out with Ah Sheng for a long time, he has heard her harsh views on history and politics more or less, and now Xun You can naturally hear the meaning in Ah Sheng's tone. Nine points of joking and one point of ridicule, so he said with a stern face: "We focus on learning now... Uncle Ci Ming said that the current discussion is too impetuous, and it will take another two years to get objective comments."

It's okay, it's not easy knowing you.
