Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 775 Liu Bei's Substitution Intention

Lan Tian shook his head and explained: "Is there any limit to learning? Boyang and Zhongling are too young, if you find their shortcomings in the future, you must point them out and let them correct them because of your friendship with me, Prime Minister.

The ready-made disciple mentioned just now is actually not my dog. His surname is Jiang, his name is Wei, and his style name is Boyue. He is a famous unicorn in Tianshui. "

Zhuge Liang suddenly realized: "Could it be that Jiang Wei was captured by Yide from Liangzhou a few months ago? It is rumored that he is General Ma's enemy and was sent to Yangping Pass by Yide. Why..."

Lan Tian smiled slightly and said: "It should be that Yide deliberately concealed it from the outside world. Jiang Boyue and Ma Mengqi have no enmity. At this time, he is studying with Shi Zai in Mianyang and farming. He has some prestige in Tianshui County. Yide should attack Liangzhou again." Take him with you."

Zhuge Liang looked up and thought, how could someone who could be favored by Lantian be worse?But I have been mainly engaged in internal affairs these years, and I don't know if accepting this disciple will delay the other party.

"The military commander should be clear. Not long after I accepted Shizai as my disciple, Boyang and Zhongling were born one after another. It is really inappropriate to accept another disciple, otherwise I wouldn't leave it to you." Lan Tian deliberately joked.

Zhuge Liang cupped his hands and thanked him: "How can Ziyu live up to his kind intentions? Since Bo is going to Liangzhou with Yide on a date, I will ask Shiyuan to inspect it later, and I will accept him as a disciple if he is really a talent."

"Oh? Aren't you afraid that Shi Yuan will get there first?" Lan Tian asked suspiciously.

Zhuge Liang stared at the sand table and shook his head, "One is that Shi Yuan didn't have such an idea, and the other is that the master (Pang Hong) is almost an adult, and his situation is very similar to that of Ziyu..."

Ancient poems and books can be passed on to the family. If there is a son in the family, the one who has learned in his life will be passed on to the son first.

In history, when Zhuge Liang surrendered Jiang Wei, his adopted son Zhuge Qiao had just died, and his biological son Zhuge Zhan was just one year old. He had no time to wait for his son to become an adult, so he passed on what he had learned in his life to Jiang Wei.

Zhuge Liang just mentioned Pang Tong's son, and Lan Tian realized that Liu Bei sent Zhuge Liang to celebrate the opening of the Huben Martial Hall. Could it be that he had the same purpose as Xu Shu?

Xu Shu's wife is from the Xi family in Jingzhou, and they are close to Zhuge Liang's wife Huang's family. Xu's mother probably recommended Hua Tuo to the Huang family. In addition, Hua Tuo relieved Fazheng's heart disease and successfully extended the life of the military adviser. Liu Bei deliberately stopped him. If Pang Tong is replaced by Zhuge Liang, all this can be explained.

After Lan Tian figured it out, he suddenly proposed to Zhuge Liang: "There are still two days before the opening of the Huben Martial Hall. Tomorrow, I will take the Prime Minister to have a good look around the city of Guangzhou."

"The Liucao system in Guangzhou is very good. Liangzheng wants to take a good look at it. In addition, he has to go to Guangzhou Academy. Shiyuan (Pang Tong) brought some things to Jushi (Pang Hong), and I want to hand it to him." Zhuge Liang nodded in agreement.

"Well, the Prime Minister must come to give advice, and Guangzhou Medical College also has to go. It is our old tradition to ask Mr. Hua to check the pulse of distinguished guests..." Lan Tian said with a smile.

"Uh... that's okay..." Zhuge Liang's speech speed obviously changed.

The two chatted for a long time in the war room, and when they opened the door, there was only a faint light left in the sky.

Zhao Yun was sweating profusely and was panting under the tree with his gun on his gun. Lan Yuan and Lan Ji stood beside him and whispered to each other. Zhuge Liang came out from under the eaves and asked curiously, "Zilong looks very tired. These two brothers are not easy to deal with." ?"

"What the prime minister said is very true. The so-called boxing is afraid of being young, so Zhao Yun has to obey the old man. The future of the Lan family brothers is limitless." Zhao Yun pointed to Er Lan and sighed.

Lan Tian asked in amazement: "Zilong is in his prime, how can he say he's old? Gou'er has always been a little naughty, and Zhongling was sent to Yunchang for a few years to discipline him. Just now I asked you to teach me..."

Zhao Yun shook his head and smiled wryly: "The waves behind the Yangtze River drive the waves ahead. Zhongling's halberd technique is fierce and powerful. It is indeed related to the general's style. Sooner or later, he will be the enemy of thousands of people. Boyang's halberd technique is both offensive and defensive. Maybe it is similar to the old Marquis Wen? "

"Congratulations, you have produced two heroes from one school. Brother Ziyu, you can teach a pair of good sons." Hearing Zhao Yun's high evaluation, Zhuge Liang couldn't help congratulating Lan Tian.

Lan Tian clasped his fists to salute Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun: "Their achievements today have nothing to do with me. Their mother supervised them since they were young, and they couldn't do without the guidance of Yun Chang, Yi De, Zi Long, and Bo Ping... ..."

Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "What Ziyu passed on to them is not necessarily weaker than martial arts. This is the luck of the Lan family, the king, and the country."

"Boyang and Zhongling, why don't you thank Prime Minister Zhuge for your compliments? In the future, you will ask him for advice when you are undecided. Mr. Wolong has the ability to manipulate the world, turn the world around, and make unpredictable plans. You will definitely benefit a lot." Lan Tian Call the two brothers to ask.

"Thank you, Prime Minister, I'm willing to listen to my teaching..." Lan Yuan and Lan Ji clasped their fists in salute.

Zhuge Liang loved the brothers of the Lan family very much. He wondered if he would raise them so well if he had a son. He held the hands of the two of them with a feather fan and joked: "Don't be too polite, your father, Mr. Xuanxiao, why did he praise you just now? Liang, let’s not be fooled by how we evaluate ourselves, and we shouldn’t look far away..."

"Uh..." Lan Yuan and Lan Ji were at a loss.

Seeing this, Lan Tian smiled and said: "Zi said that three people must have my teacher, why should the prime minister be so modest? If you are afraid of losing money, I will teach you in the future and it will be even..."

"Ziyu's eloquence is outstanding, I'm speechless, but don't worry, Liang treats them like nephews, and naturally knows everything. It's getting late now, and we're going back to the posthouse."

After Zhuge Liang finished speaking, Zhao Yun leaned over, and Lan Tian immediately told Lan Yuan: "The conditions of the post house are still poor, Boyang, you take them to the Wanghai courtyard to rest, and it's just on the way to visit the academy and college tomorrow."

"Wei." Lan Yuan clasped his fist and swung his right hand towards the door of the mansion, "Prime Minister, Uncle Zhao, let's go."

"Then I will lead the way with the son-in-law." Zhuge Liang replied politely.

Lan Yuan led Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun to the south gate of the mansion, while Lan Tian led Lan Ji around to the right side of the courtyard and walked along the path towards the back house.

Zhao Yun was born tall and mighty, wearing a white robe and silver armor is very heroic. Lan Ji liked Zhao Yun's attire and martial arts since he was a child, and he was very satisfied after dozens of moves with Zhao Yun just now, and his face was still full of excitement color.

"Zhongling, General Guan and General Zhang have taught you. After fighting Zilong today, I found that your mood is a little different?" Lan Tian asked curiously.

Lan Ji smiled and said: "Uncle Zhao is different from them. Although the martial arts skills of the three are not equal, Uncle Zhao's moves are dexterous and changeable. I will think about it carefully tonight, maybe the boy can make some progress."

"I have given you an analogy. Practicing martial arts is like writing on the spot. The Lu family's halberd technique is the foundation for you and Boyang. On the basis, you can comprehend and innovate by yourself, and finally form your own style by learning from the strengths of other families. I am very pleased to be a father for you to have such an understanding." Lan Tian patted Lan Ji on the back lightly, his expression of appreciation and affirmation beaming with joy.

Chapter 776 Great Potential for Master Pang

In the early morning of the next day, Lan Tian went to Wanghai Courtyard to pick up Zhuge Liang, and went to Guangzhou Academy to visit and search for people.

Zhiyuan Liu Xi and Deputy Zhiyuan Zhao Shuang received the news and greeted the distinguished guests in person at the gate of the academy.

After Zhuge Liang stepped into the gate of the academy, he could immediately feel the fragrance of books.

The entire layout of Guangzhou Academy is planned by Lantian according to the layout of the university, with teaching areas, activity areas, dormitory areas, and living areas well arranged.

Zhuge Liang walked through several classrooms, feeling like an enlarged version of Quanling Academy. At this moment, he understood Lantian's persistence, and behind any seemingly successful success was a lot of hard work.

At the beginning, Quanling Academy focused on cultivating craftsmen, but now places like Guangzhou Academy have become the only way for Jiaozhou to become an official. Lantian seems to be laying the groundwork from the beginning, and its strong control is terrifying.

After visiting the dormitories of the college, the doors of the dormitories are all open or concealed, and no one locks or closes them at all, because the college often comes to inspect discipline and check hygiene conditions.

Zhuge Liang dismounted on the porch and found that the dormitory was clean and tidy. The bedding and quilts were neatly folded, and the household items were stacked in an orderly manner. There were two long tables lined up between the two rows of beds.

Pang Hong's class took turns in the morning, and the seven roommates were all reading in the dormitory. Zhao Shuang quickly stepped forward and called Pang Hong out.

"You..." Pang Hong showed a rather surprised expression when he saw so many big people, and quickly bowed his hands to everyone.

Zhuge Liang took out Pang Tong's letter and asked with concern: "Master, you have been in Guangzhou for a year. Are you getting used to life in Guangzhou Academy? Have you made progress in your studies? This time your father is coming, but the King of Hanzhong has a temporary appointment." Let me see you on his behalf."

Pang Hong clasped his hands and replied: "Thank you uncle for your concern. After Hong came to Guangzhou Academy, he realized what it means to look at the sky from a well. Zhiyuan and all the teachers are all well-educated people. Hongzhi's studies are improving every day. We will see each other after he finishes his studies." , will definitely impress my father."

"Ambient, it seems that the master has indeed learned well. Remember to write more letters to Shiyuan when you have time. You will write three or two letters throughout the year, so that your relatives at home will miss you." Zhuge Liang reminded.

"Uh... my nephew came late, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep up with the students of the same period, so I can save it in the future..." Pang Hong replied awkwardly.

Zhuge Liang frowned after hearing this, thinking that Pang Hong's tutor couldn't keep up with him, thinking who would this Guangzhou College accept?Didn't it mean that the common people in the head of Guizhou are the main ones?

Seeing this, Lan Tian gave Zhao Shuang a wink, and Zhao Shuang clasped his hands and explained: "Reporting to the prime minister, the schooling period of Guangzhou Academy is five years. Because of his good foundation, Master Ju didn't let him start from the first grade E class, but directly transferred to the class. Follow the D-grade class to learn..."

"I think it's a bit difficult for the master. Is there such a big gap between one level? It is rumored that most of the academy are the children of ordinary people? Then why..." Zhuge Liang asked.

"Guangzhou Academy accepts a limited number of students each year. After completing their studies at Meng Academy, there is an exam. After passing the college's selection exam, they must pass the college's selection exam. Only after passing both times can they be admitted. Most of the students selected in the end are smart and hardworking. Soon, the other is my main subject, numerology, which is a bit difficult for the first time..." Zhao Shuang continued to explain.

After hearing this, Zhuge Liang looked at Lantian in surprise. He began to select the best from the best in Meng Xuetang, and then passed the assessment to continue to select the best. Those who finally enter the officialdom will definitely not be too bad. This system is better than the inspection system in other places. And the nine-rank Zhongzheng system that Wei Guo is now implementing is much more sophisticated, allowing real talents to serve the country.

How did Lantian come up with such a perfect system?

"Then you should study hard and don't embarrass your father." Zhuge Liang patted Pang Hong's shoulder to encourage him.

Pang Hong clasped his hands and replied sonorously: "Uncle, don't worry, Hong will be able to catch up. When he graduates in three years, he will try to be on the list in the selection of Li Cao."

"Master Ju is planning to become an official in Jiaozhou?" Zhuge Liang was very surprised after hearing this. With Pang Tong's status in Liu Bei's heart, Pang Hong could get a good official position without taking the exam at all.

Pang Hong nodded and said: "Jiaozhou is actually pretty good. I believe that under the governance of General Lan, all counties in various places will have great potential."

"Ziyu, you are really powerful. You abducted Shi Yuan's son in such a short time. He will trouble you in the future, don't blame me for not reminding..." Zhuge Liang joked with a smile.

"The sky is high for birds to fly, and the sea is wide for fish to leap. How can parents care about it forever? If Shi Yuan really wants to blame him, I can only send Ju Shi back to Chengdu..." Lan Tian spread his hands in response.

"Don't..." Pang Hong looked very excited.

"Don't be alarmed, Master, I'm joking with General Lan..." Zhuge Liang comforted with a smile, then looked at Zhao Yun, and Zhao Yun immediately handed the two boxes of things to Pang Hong.

"This is a local product from Chengdu and Jingzhou. Shi Yuan was afraid that you would not be used to living and eating in Guangzhou, so he asked me to bring it here to relieve your nostalgia. We will not disturb your studies..." Zhuge Liang said goodbye after explaining.

Pang Hong took the special product with both hands, with a grateful expression on his face, then nodded and said: "Thank you uncle, you are busy, please forgive my nephew for not being able to send it away, I will take it back and give it to my roommates to taste."

"Uh... Master, please help yourself..." Zhuge Liang smiled slightly.

On the way out of the dormitory area, Zhuge Liang asked Lantian: "Just now, by observing the expression of the master and talking with him, I can feel that he is doing well. Ziyu, your academy is really good. Can you share the secret of success?" tell me?"

"Prime Minister really wants to know? Junqing, take us to Zangshu Pavilion." Lan Tian instructed Zhao Shuang.

"Wei." Zhao Shuang answered with cupped hands, then walked to the front of the line, stretched out his hand to lead the way and said, "Prime Minister, please go this way..."

Different from the open state of other places, there are guards standing guard in front of the door of Zangshu Pavilion. When you push the door, you enter a small back courtyard. In several rooms on the east and west sides, there are dozens of adults wearing teaching clothes. Discuss, write together...

Zhuge Liang glanced across the courtyard, and then followed Zhao Shuang to the big house in the north. There were rows of bookshelves inside. Except for one shelf full of bamboo slips and paper books, most of the other bookshelves were empty.

Zhuge Liang picked up a volume at random, and found that it was an unnamed history book from the pre-Qin period, and pulled out another paper book titled "Annotations to the Book of Changes". Computational Commentary"...

"These are all..." Zhuge Liang was shocked.

Zhao Shuang cupped his hands and explained: "Some of the bamboo slips in Zangshu Pavilion were donated by teachers, and some were collected and bought back by General Lan entrusted by the caravan for the study and study of the academy. The paper books are new books compiled by teachers. It was selected as the textbook of the academy, and the rooms on the east and west sides of the passerby just now are all the research and teaching staff for the academy."

"Researchers?" Zhuge Liang encountered a new word that he didn't understand.

"They are those who specialize in studying ancient Chinese classics and compiling and expanding the library for the academy." Zhao Shuang added.

Zhuge Liang turned his head and asked Lantian: "I know that Ziyu is running a good school in Jiaozhou, but where did you find so many researchers and teachers? There are so many well-educated people in Jiaozhou? It's incredible..."

Lan Tian smiled and said, "How can there be so many talents in Jiaozhou? They all come from all over the Central Plains and Jiangdong."

"Come here because of the name?" Zhuge Liang didn't understand again.

Lan Tian continued to explain: "The remuneration of the academy is very good. After the arrangement of the housing, there is also a family allowance. Some of them are introduced by the teachers. For example, Junqing (Zhao Shuang) wrote a letter to call two friends, and more They are children from poor families in the Central Plains, and they were attracted to come here when they saw the promotional leaflets in Guangzhou City."

"So it's like this..." Zhuge Liang suddenly realized, and said to himself that your meticulous work is too strong, and besides causing damage, you can actually poach people.

Chapter 777 Dripping Water Pierces Stone Run Silently

Zhuge Liang roughly flipped through a few books, and felt that the level of commentary is generally very high, and the classics from the pre-Qin period have been understood by today's people here.

"The library in Guangzhou Academy is so big, will it fill up all the bookshelves in the future?" Zhuge Liang asked his soul.

Lan Tian nodded slightly: "I hope it will be completed in ten years."

"If talents keep coming to Guangzhou, it may not necessarily need to wait ten years, maybe seven or eight years will be enough." Zhao Shuang nodded and analyzed.

Hearing the two people's answers, Zhuge Liang knew that they were not talking big, so he sighed with emotion: "The students of Guangzhou Academy are so lucky. The students have already passed the exam and become officials. Ziyu is still adding new books. It seems that there are other ideas. ..."

"I once said this question to the king. There are visible soldiers and invisible soldiers in the world. There are soldiers who are most strong and invincible in the world. There are soldiers who are soft and soft and moisten things silently. Our books are the soldiers that moisten things silently. Soldiers." Lan Tian nodded solemnly.

What Lan Tian said was very meaningful. Zhao Yun, Liu Xi, Zhao Shuang and others in the same company couldn't fully understand it. Rao Zhuge Liang, the smartest, seemed to understand it. He asked curiously: "Ziyu uses books as soldiers? Really?" It’s an astonishing statement. Can you explain it more clearly to clear up the confusion?”

"Mister, please clarify." Liu Xi and Zhao Shuang also followed suit.

Lan Tianzhengse said: "The first emperor unified the world and implemented the same text. This policy unified the cultures of all ethnic groups in China, and books are the utensils that carry culture. My big man has followed this policy for hundreds of years. Now no one regards people from Chu and Qi as people. , The people of Yan state themselves, right? Because the culture along with the continuation of life has weakened the influence of the original tribes, clans, and vassal states, and they all call themselves the people of the Han Dynasty, right?"

Zhao Yun frowned, with a puzzled expression on his face: "Is there any connection between what Mr. said just now and using books as soldiers?"

"Haha, of course there is. Zilong's hometown is Zhending in Changshan. Foreign races such as Wuhuan and Xiongnu outside the Great Wall often cross the Great Wall to plunder. No matter how many times they kill the opponent, they will never be eradicated, right?" Lan Tian asked again.

"That's true, but this has nothing to do with books..." Zhao Yun hesitated to speak.

Lan Tian continued to explain: "Conquering by force can only make the enemy surrender superficially. The northern grasslands have been invaded by nomads since ancient times. In the Shang Dynasty, there were ghosts. In the Zhou Dynasty, there were dog soldiers and Xiongnu. I also have Xiongnu in the Han Dynasty. Now there are still people in the north. The Xiongnu, as well as Wuhuan and Xianbei, are always enemies of the Central Plains. The main factor is the difficult conditions of the nomadic tribes, and because of the differences in language and culture, they have to fight for supplies and population.

In the future, wait for the king to unify the world, send troops to completely wipe out the threat of the northern grasslands, and promote the culture of the Central Plains in the grasslands, let the herdsmen of the grasslands learn our characters, learn the cultural knowledge of our Han people, and cultivate their recognition of the Chinese language of the Central Plains, wait until you When I have you among me, will the grassland people still fight with us?If you encounter difficulties on the grassland, you can ask the emperor of the Han Dynasty for help. If there is a famine in the Central Plains, the people of the grassland can also support the cattle and sheep. "

"Ziyu wants to tame the alien race in the north?" Zhuge Liang was quite shocked.

Lan Tian shook his head lightly: "It's not taming but cultural identity. Just treat them as big men. You are all well-educated people. You should know that Huo prostitution, Yao Fenglang and Xuxu, we have fought against the Huns for hundreds of years. , have not been able to completely eliminate them until now, and other new threats have emerged, so military conquest cannot be done once and for all.”

Zhao Yun was the least educated among the crowd, he clasped his fists in embarrassment and asked, "Mr. Yunmao suddenly understood, but the foreigners in the north are all cunning and greedy, and they don't understand our language. Even if they intend to send the books from the Central Plains there, they may not You can understand it, but you may not be able to learn it. Although the cultural identity you mentioned is inspiring, it is too difficult to realize it..."

Everyone couldn't help but nodded, Zhao Yun's doubts were also everyone's doubts, and they all looked to Lan Tian for answers.

Lan Tian smiled leisurely: "First, use iron and blood methods to make them submit, second, migrate the Han people to northern Xinjiang to live with the Hu people, and finally select those who know current affairs from among the Hu people as role models, and promote the technology and culture of the Central Plains in the grasslands.

Compared with the hunger and death on the prairie, Hu people will not suffer from learning something from the Central Plains. If the older Hu people don’t want to learn or can’t learn, we will start with the young Hu people and directly adopt the current model of Jiaozhou, through running schools and selection Official promotion, what do you think? "

"Ziyu has a lot of ideas, but I don't know whether the feasibility is high, otherwise you have worked hard to plan for decades..." Zhuge Liang looked serious.

"Cultural invasion is like water dripping through stone, and it will take at least a few generations to truly realize cultural identity. As for whether it is feasible or not, it will be tested by time.

I have sent hundreds of Han officials to Nichinan. They will set up Mentorship Schools in Nichinan counties, and outstanding Zhanren students can also come to Guangzhou Academy for further studies. After decades, you can see the changes in Zhanren.

Even if the cultural invasion fails in the end, the actions of the Guangzhou Academy today can benefit the people of the Han family to open up the wisdom of the people, so that scholars and Li Shu can read and know the etiquette. "Lan Tian clang replied.

"Cai..." Zhao Shuang was the first to applaud when he heard his blood surging, and the rest followed suit.

"Using culture as a weapon, this idea is refreshing, this trip is really worthwhile, please accept my bow..." Zhuge Liang bowed and saluted.

Lan Tian supported Zhuge Liang, and said modestly: "Prime Minister, don't be like this, whether it will be successful or not is yet to be verified..."

"Ziyu never disappoints. We have been staying in Guangzhou Academy for a long time, now we change places?" Zhuge Liang pointed to the door and suggested.

"Alright." Lan Tian then walked out of the Library Pavilion side by side with Zhuge Liang.

Zhao Shuang originally wanted to keep the distinguished guests for lunch at the academy, but in the end he gave up under the gaze of Zhiyuan Liu Xi. Both Lantian and Zhuge Liang are hard-working people, and they will definitely not waste their time on eating and drinking.
