Taking Suiyang is not easy to save roads, but it saves time. Suiyang has become the most important town in Yanyu, with all the roads in all directions, and the quality of the roads in the territory is also high, wide and flat, and there are many places where four carriages can be used to travel in parallel.
All of this is attributed to Huang Yi.
Han Sui was ordered to supervise the two prefectures of Yan and Yu, use Sui Yang as the governor and Huang Yi as the chief minister. It can be said that he obeyed the rules. Huang Yisui suggested that he should use the 20,000 elite Xiliang under Han Sui as the main force to summon the people and repair them.
A trunk road network with Suiyang as the core.
These trunk networks can be used for marching in wartime, and are usually used for people to walk, especially for business travelers from south to north.
Suiyang has become a commercial center and is surrounded by all directions.
After crossing the river, Zhou Zhong personally felt the convenience brought by these roads and also heard a lot of praise for Han Sui and Huang Yi.
The praise for Han Sui was concentrated on military governance.
The Xiliang Army, famous for its tiger and wolf army, not only did not harm the people under Han Sui's command, but instead became the main force in paving bridges and building roads. Every autumn flood, it will also go to the embankment to protect the safety of the area and make the people grateful.
Praise to Huang Yi is focused on being able.
Many people may not know that Huang Yi was the first graduate of the martial arts lecture hall and had gone out with the wolf cavalry to the frontier. But they all know that the road Huang Yi was responsible for the construction was solid and flat, and each maintenance fee was small, which made countless convenient.
people.
Even Qiao Rui praised Huang Yi and praised Zhou Zhong as soon as he met him.
Zhou Zhong and Qiao Rui are old friends. They often met when they were the governor of Yuzhou. Now Qiao Rui is idle at home, but a pair of twin daughters are by the emperor and the queen, and have endless potential. He did not become an official, so he has opened a few at home.
A workshop was very lively.
"The autumn harvest is approaching, and the autumn flood is very important. Even the general of the Fu Army has personally gone to the embankment." Qiao Rui explained with a smile: "I am an idle person. I am ordered to welcome Duke Zhou and accompany Duke Zhou around."
Zhou Zhong waved his hand. "I don't need to go anywhere else. Come with me to the dike and take a look. I am Sikong, and it is my responsibility to do things about the water and soil. How can I pass without asking?"
Qiao Rui laughed. "The general of the Fu Army knew that Zhou Gong would definitely go up the embankment, but there is no need to hurry. Stay in Suiyang for one night today and go to the embankment tomorrow." Before Zhou Zhong's answer, Qiao Rui whispered again:
"Someone wants to see you."
Zhou Zhong was very surprised. "Who?"
"Xun Yue, I just came back from Mount Tai." Qiao Rui smacked his lips. "It seems that he has been hit. He has been in Suiyang for half a month. He has been to thank the guests in a closed door, but no one has seen him."
Zhou Zhong suddenly realized that he did not persist anymore.
He also heard about Xun Yue's trip to Mount Tai. When he met Zhuge Liang, he specially confirmed the matter. Now Xun Yue has returned from Mount Tai, and neither returns home nor Wancheng, but is stranded in Suiyang, which is somewhat strange.
.
"Let's go to Yinfang first." Zhou Zhong said.
Qiao Rui smiled and said, "I know that Zhou Gong is concerned about education and the reception banquet is in Yinfang."
——
Suiyang Seal House is not large in scale, at least not as large as several Seal Houses in Jizhou, but it is very well operated and well organized. The printed books are clear and elegant. Even the almanacs that target ordinary people, the agricultural books are quite textured.
.
Zhou Zhong originally thought that Jizhou Seal House was already good, but after seeing Suiyang Seal House, he felt that there was still a gap.
Concubine Zhen is very smart. Compared to Yuan Quan, she still lacks some demeanor.
Standing in the Yinfang, Zhou Zhong was very satisfied. "Although the highway is rogue, having such a daughter and son-in-law is enough to be arrogant."
Yuan Quan took a beautifully-bounded scroll and handed it to Zhou Zhong with both hands. "This is the fourth volume of the Luoyang scroll hosted by my father. Please give Zhou Gong a review and correct me."
Zhou Zhong took the scroll, laughed, but didn't look at it, and handed it to his accompanying son.
"Although I haven't read this fourth volume, the first volume and the second volume can be remembered in history." Zhou Zhong's smile gradually calmed down, and his laughter turned into a sigh. "It's just a pity.
Liu Jingsheng.”
Yuan Quan smiled and said, "My father is indeed not a good doctor. He only has the intention to save people, but has no ability to cure diseases."
When Qiao Rui saw that the words were wrong, he quickly interrupted. "Liu Jingsheng's flaws did not hide his elegance. He was awarded the title of emperor, which was also considered a mourning and honor for death."
Zhou Zhong smiled bitterly and had to follow Qiao Rui's topic.
After all, the final evaluation power is still in the Emperor. The Emperor set the posthumous title for Liu Biao. Although it is not a beautiful posthumous title, it is reasonable.
In the chaotic times, how many can escape without being spotless and unscrupulous.
Liu Biao has made achievements and demerits, and such a result can be considered a good ending.
What he was worried about was that Yuan Shu was just acting indiscriminately and took the initiative to cater to the emperor, which made Liu Biao so angry.
I was a fellow practitioner, but the internal struggle ended here.
This is because Yuan Shu is not successful enough and has more than enough failure.
Everything was ruined by internal strife. Whenever he thought of this, he felt very depressed.
Zhou Zhong cheered up, visited Yinfang, and participated in a lively welcoming banquet.
Qiao Rui invited many local families and famous scholars who have traveled here, including Xun Yue.
Xun Yue originally closed the door to thank the guests, but when he heard that Sikong Zhou Zhong was about to go to the court to invite him, he happily accepted the invitation. He didn't say anything during the meal, but just didn't say anything. After the banquet, he entered the back hall with Zhou Zhong and cooked it.
After serving tea, the two of them sat opposite each other, and they truly opened their hearts and told Zhou Zhong about his troubles.
There are two things that bother him the most:
First, he climbed Mount Tai and experienced it personally that the mountain was colder than the bottom, but he couldn't find the answer.
What made him even more uncomfortable was that when he first arrived at the foot of the mountain and asked the porters about this, there was an unspoken joke in the eyes of the porters looking at him, as if saying that another fool came.
Because for the porters, this is simply a matter of course.
This caused his self-esteem as a scholar to be severely damaged.
Second, the so-called Confucius climbed Mount Tai not on the top of Mount Tai, nor even on the side of the mountain, but at the foot of the mountain.
Wherever you climb the East Mountain, there are mountains on all sides, and you can’t see the State of Lu even if you climb the East Mountain.
What is Confucius climbing the East Mountain and the Small Lu Mountain and the Small World? It's simply nonsense.
If it is so simple, the fact that you can falsify it with just a trip has been passed down for hundreds of years, but no one pointed out how many records of Confucianism are still true and credible?
Is it because everyone is ignorant and unwilling to prove it, or is it that someone has known it long ago but just makes mistakes and pretends not to know?
No matter which one it was, it made him have great doubts about Confucian classics.
When he was facing the emperor and directly criticized the Confucianism for his defiance and falsehood, he was still unwilling to accept it and swears to defend the Confucianism to the death. Now that I think about it, it is just that the ignorant is fearless, no wonder the emperor is too lazy to talk to him.
"Duke Zhou, is Confucianism really a false and false knowledge?"
Facing Xun Yue, who was almost mentally collapsed, Zhou Zhong was shocked and pondered for a long time. "I don't think so."
"Why?" Xun Yue's eyes showed a hopeful light.
"The Confucian school may have hypocrites, but Confucianism is not a hypocritical knowledge. Otherwise, why should the emperor stick to Confucianism?" Zhou Zhong said slowly: "It is Mencius who said that Confucius climbed the East Mountain and the Small Lu Mountain and the Small World is Mencius, and the Emperor is the Emperor.
But he admires Mencius's doctrine the most."
"Why is that?" Xun Yue became even more confused.
Zhou Zhong leaned over and patted Xun Yue's hand. "Zhongyu, your ancestor Xunzi once said: It is better to learn in a short time than to think about it. You think hard all day long but cannot get it. It is better to follow me and ask the emperor for advice.
