Chenggong returned to his hometown quite low-key, and did not tell anyone that he did not like the scene of officials and elders greeting each other, and his old friends were arrogant at first and respectful at the time. He still changed into patched clothes when he was poor and humble. He only hired a coachman and drove a bicycle back to Wugong County.

His house was too small, and he didn't even have a carport, so he could only park under the big locust tree next to his home. His wife happened to hear the horse neighing and walked out to see it. Unexpectedly, her husband came back at this time. She was so shocked that the ladle in her hand fell to the ground. After being surprised, she turned her head and wiped her tears.

Because many idle people in the village say that if you pass the imperial examination in Chenggong, you will never come back if you get rich!

"Time is tight, I entered the palace after the exam, and I didn't have time to return home until today."

Although she was still wearing coarse cloth clothes, Chenggong's entire mental temperament had changed significantly. The poor Confucian scholar in the past is now a celebrity around the King of Wei. After a brief period of warmth, Chenggong also added a silver bun bought in Dongshi to his wife, with a pearl on her head.

Chenggong did not avoid the source of this thing: "I heard that this was a thing from the Han Palace, and I don't know which beauty was worn by the concubines. When the King of Wei evacuated Chang'an, some people entered the palace to take it. Recently, the world has been famine, and food is tight in Guanzhong. Such a good hairpin can be exchanged for only one bucket of rice."

As a 200-stone man, Chenggong's salary ate more than five dou of rice every day, and their family no longer has to live a poor life of hunger and fullness.

It was noon that the disciples came to hear the news one after another. Some of them took the talismans and went to the general Wan Xiu army of the guards to work as pen-pal officers. Some of them were unwilling to give up and decided to take the exam again in two years.

Chenggong naturally did not forget his disciples and asked them to go to the car to move the load of good things to share.

"Brush, ink, calligraphy, and paper, and a lot of paper!" The disciples read the brochures distributed by the King of Wei, but the current production capacity is limited. After Chang'an, paper is still a rare thing.

The scholars of Wuling loved silk, and disciples of the Taixue School were fond of heavy bamboo slips that "have the flavor of painting when they were smelled". They regarded paper as cheap things and believed that they were not worthy of carrying good words and articles.

But the poor people in the countryside don’t care. How could there be too many extravagant demands for a group of poor people who often can only practice calligraphy on the sand?

The wife was amused and laughed. It turned out that the big boss of the palace salary was invested in these things again, and their family's life might not be able to be better in the future.

The disciples sat in the courtyard and asked curiously about everything in the palace - Chenggong and others were trained in the fifth reunion for more than a month, and those who passed the qualifications could be sent to various government offices and counties for "internship".

What have you learned in more than a month? Could it be that it was the study of Yangzi?

Chenggong shook his head. He didn't expect in advance that King Wei always wanted to carry forward the teachings of his predecessors, but there was no part of it during the two months. If he insisted on giving the things they learned, he would temporarily call them "Five Studies".

"First, Zong Zheng, the eighth Jiao, came forward and told us the foundation of the establishment of the Wei State!"

"Zong Zheng studied Shangshu when he learned the Imperial Academy, so he started with a song "The Song of the Five Sons."

The wife shook her head and went to cook with rice. As soon as her husband came back, he became the teacher again. Before it was dark, they were reluctant to part.

"Do you know "The Song of the Five Sons"?"

The disciples looked at each other, and the family background was the best and had a wide range of knowledge and answered: "For the "Shu Shu", it was because of the loss of Xia Hou Taikang, and the five princes of Xia Hou clan wrote a song about Dayu's teachings."

Chenggong nodded: "The first song begins with such a sentence. People can approach, but not down. People only have the foundation of the country, and the foundation is solid and the country is peaceful!"

"He also said: I am the one who is in the eyes of the people and is stolen and steered as a rotten rope. How can I be disrespectful to those who are the best people? What do these two sentences mean?"

The disciples should say: "The people can get close to each other, but not underestimate them. The people are the foundation of the country. Only when the foundation is solid can the country be peaceful."

"How Yu, who governs the people, was as afraid as if he was riding six horses with a bad rope; how could a monarch not be respectful or afraid of the people?"

"That's right!" Chenggong held his palm: "The King of Wei also came in person and said, 'I not only respect the heaven and ancestors, but also the people; I am not afraid of the green forest and the red eyebrows. You guys, I am only afraid of one thing, that is, the people of billions of people'!"

Reverence of the people was something that the ancients realized long ago, but it was forgotten again and again in the changing dynasties. The fifth reunion is now extracted again as the opening idea of ​​the "Five Studies".

The song of the Five Sons is also interesting, and there is another paragraph: "Only the Tao Tang Dynasty has this Jifang. Now that the Taoist path is lost, the discipline and principles are disrupted, and then the destruction of the divine destruction is destroyed."

It is about the Tao Tang clan originally had a vast land, but it was destroyed because of its lack of virtue and destruction, leading to its demise. Didn’t people often regard the Liu Han Dynasty as a descendant of Tang Yao? This corresponds to it.

The disciples listened with relish. It would be great to have a master in the system. Maybe the next civil servant exam will be the subject of these things. Even if the question is not approved, they can still understand the concepts and trends of the court and write articles that suit the King of Wei when making the proposal.

There is another class that Chenggong couldn't forget. It was mentioned publicly by the King of Wei when he was inspecting the Lin area and summoned local elders.

"The king said that the people are the foundation of the country, and the crops are also the foundation of the people. Therefore, the sages of ancient times all valued agricultural affairs."

"Suiren drills fire to make fire to change the fishy smell, and the people please it and make the king of the world."

"Fuxi set up nets to teach people to catch fish and raise wild animals to be livestock."

"Shennong doesn't have to say anything. He cultivates corn, makes pottery and axes, and makes agricultural tools to cultivate grasslands and then gets the grains to store them."

"Therefore, those who can fill the world will be the Emperor of Humanity!"

After these two things, Chenggong admired the King of Wei more and more, and he spared no effort to teach these principles to his disciples.

By highlighting the story of the Three Emperors who value agriculture as the most respected, the Fifth Reunion suddenly promoted the agricultural official to a very high position, which was also related to the new job of Chenggong.

"Now that Guanzhong is famine, everyone is counting on the wheat ripening in May, so I am ordered to return to Youfufeng to supervise the summer harvest."

...

"Sure enough, there is no difference between it and the local officials. The wheat in Youfufeng summer is almost gone."

At the end of April, at the Weiyang Palace in Chang'an City, Di Wulun frowned at the memorial of Chenggong's return.

The direct reason is that in the twelfth month of last year, Zhou Yuan, which produced the most grain in Youfufeng, was once a battlefield. Tens of thousands of people trampled and fought in the fields, destroying all the wheat seedlings. The farmers in those fields were still waiting for the fifth remit to provide relief.

However, even if we don’t fight that battle, the Youfufeng was in Wei and Long forces last year, but he could not farm with peace of mind. He could only plant millet in spring in order to make up for the loss of sheep.

"Can Longyou's detailed work be transmitted back to the thread?"

Huang Chang, Sizhi, reported: "Since the Long Army retreated, Wei Xiang was able to take over the power. This man was not good at fighting and did have some skills in governing the county. He allowed the Long Army to return to his hometown to farm and preserve the spring farming."

"But Longyou land is barren and has few ditches, so we can only count on rain. The drought lasts for more than a month. I heard that Liu Zijun is old and rushed to Longxi to seek rain..."

When talking about Liu Xin, Di Wulun thought that this old man was ridiculous and sad.

"Liu Zijun has done something similar before."

The fifth reunion heard Yang Xiong mention that during the reign of Wang Mang, there was no drop of rain for several months in a row. There was a severe drought in the world and the crops were not harvested. Just when Wang Mang was at a loss, Liu Xin asked to practice magic and make a "earth dragon" to ask for rain.

So Old Liu Xin was serious and piled up the props "earth dragon" for the rain-seeking site, which was ten feet long. He also invited a group of bells, drums, music officials to blow and beat, and he drew gossip and cast spells with his head.

"Huan Tan learned about this matter, so he went to question it."

"Liu Xin replied: The dragon can make clouds and rain. Now the real dragon has not appeared. I have made the earth dragon to be like its kind and pray for the wind and rain."

"Huan Tan said that for real tortoiseshell, magnets can be used to rub the needle to pick up mustard. If it is a fake tortoiseshell, magnets, can it still be used to pick up mustard? By the same token, even if a real dragon can make clouds and rain, how can a fake dragon make up wind and rain?"

"Huan Tan's metaphor is easy to understand, and Liu Xin could not deal with it, so he had to end it hastily."

"Now that Liu Xin has no memory and is asking for rain again, could he ask Wei to build a earth dragon for him?"

It was Du Du, the knowledgeable and knowledgeable man around him, who said: "King, Huang Si said that Liu Xin was in Chengji in Longxi. Chengji is said to be the hometown of Fuxi. Fuxi Longrui, who was named Longshi, was named Longshi."

"Liu Xin probably thought that Cheng Ji had a true dragon, and asking for rain might be more effective!"

So that's it! The fifth reunite suddenly realized that he suffered another loss of uneducation.

With the increase of intellectuals in the court, the Fifth Reunification formed a team of royal literati to help him find classics and official official edicts were indispensable.

As for the edicts that I want to pass to the grassroots level, I will still write the fifth ethics myself, which is easier to understand.

This embarrassment was broken by the Taiguan order who came to deliver the meals. The fifth lun laughed: "Anyway, Liu Zijun can't ask for real rain. The situation in Longyou is not better than that in Guanzhong. Wei Cui has passed away. Wei Xiang is afraid that he has no time to take care of him. By the way, can the two nobles eat together?"

Huang Chang and Du Du could only grit their teeth and agreed to eat with the king. This was originally a favor and honor, but Du Du's face turned green all the time.

The ones served were still green steamed alfalfa. The Fifth Reun was a man who kept his word and insisted on eating alfalfa for a month. But this thing was not too hungry. The Fifth Reun also ate some snacks from the queen at night. We can't stand until the sudden death of fainting and become the first king in history to die suddenly due to 996.

Just now, when he talked about another person, the fifth reunion thought of that old friend for a moment. Although Huan Tan always spoke sarcastically, he still admired his simple materialistic thoughts.

Wu Lun stopped chopping and thought came from it: "I still have alfalfa to eat, but I don't know what Huan Tan is eating? He returned to Peidi last year because of his mother's death. There is no news yet. Is there any news about Huaibei in Sizhifu recently?"

Huang Chang swallowed a ball of alfalfa rice: "Pei land, Huaibei has been occupied by Red Eyebrows for half a year. I heard that all the local heroes and right people were slaughtered by Red Eyebrows and had eaten up all the food... Doctor Huan would better escape to another place, otherwise..."

There was no detailed work sent there, so I could only indirectly inquire from the Green Han territory, so I naturally would not hear any good things about Red Eyebrows.

The fifth reunion only felt sorry. If Huan Tan was in Chang'an, he would have to let him occupy a place in the Imperial Academy, play music well, and study materialistic thoughts. Huan Tan's thoughts were more radical than Yang Xiong, and he could provide a little guidance to make it an important part of the "Five Studies". It's a pity.

Wu Lun only ordered: "The situation in Yuzhou and Nanyang should be more concerned. The local famine is the most serious. The red eyebrows either surrender to the green forest or there will be a battle!"

After saying that, looking at Huang Chang, Du Du's face turned sour after eating alfalfa, and only smiled:

"I'll hold on for a few more days. After May, the wheat in the north of Weibei is ripe. I and the relatives and the people of the country do not need to use alfalfa as the staple food!"

For the May Sumai Harvest Season, the fifth reunion has made a lot of preparations, such as letting Du Shi build a water mill in various counties in Weibei in advance. The wheat rice is not much better than alfalfa. His fifth reunion can also inherit the unfinished career of the Three Emperors and change the dietary structure of northerners...

Just as he was thinking, Zhang Yu, the chief embroidered commander, hurried into the greenhouse hall, and after saluting, he came straight to the side of the fifth reunion, with his ears in his ears:

"The king, the water mill on Baiqu in Chiyang County, Weibei was smashed by local unfair people!"
Chapter completed!
