Zhong Yao glanced at Zhou Zhong and laughed. "Duke Zhou, among the martial arts you mentioned, your son and the descendant, are you?"
Zhou Zhong smiled but said nothing.
He dared not say how his son was. But since his son Zhou Yu, he still had great hope.
I'm just a little sorry for Kong Rong.
However, judging from the letters sent by Kong Rong, except for being a little colder, Kong Rong is still very comfortable in Mobei, at least there is no need to worry about someone causing trouble for him. In that almost wilderness, the learned Kong Rong is like a saint.
Generally, it is worshipped by everyone.
This is related to Zhou Yu's arrangement.
If there was no continuous Han caravan to transport goods to the Central Plains that the barbarians were in urgent need, if they could not get discounts when taking care of Kong Rong, if learning Confucian classics was not a shortcut to entering the Central Plains, Kong Rong's life would definitely not be so comfortable.
After all, behind Kong Rong, the entire man was standing, and what he enjoyed was the welfare brought by the great man's strength.
Zhou Zhong and Zhong Yao chatted all the way. After talking about Kong Rong, they talked about Liu Bei and Yuan Xi.
Liu Bei has been busy recruiting talents recently, and many young people crossed the sea to Zhongshan Kingdom. They built schools and workshops, which made them very exciting. As for the expansion of territory, Liu Bei handed over almost all of them to Yuan Xi, and he was a general.
The meaning of Japan giving it to Yuan Xi.
Such news will naturally reach the emperor's ears, but the emperor has no intention of opposing it, so he should have acquiesced.
Facts have proved that Liu Bei's ability is limited, and it is not easy to control the three Koreans. He may not be able to conquer the east of Japan during his lifetime.
Zhong Yao was satisfied with this result.
This at least shows that the emperor did not intend to kill all the aristocratic families. As long as they did not cause trouble in China, they went overseas to explore, the emperor was even willing to help them.
It is reported that the Yuzhang ship officer may provide Yuan Xi with a new type of warship, but it is limited by production capacity. He must first provide enough warships for Sun Ce before he can consider Yuan Xi.
Zhong Yao suspected that this was a martial arts lecture hall to interfere.
Those Jiangdong people are very smart.
The emperor invested in the establishment of Dongting Ship Officer, which also meant to increase production capacity.
As he spoke, he talked about Sun Ce and Panyu.
"Don't there also be a ship officer in Panyu?" Zhong Yao said.
"Yes, there are also Hou officials. The scale is not small, but there are no qualified craftsmen." Zhou Zhong explained, "I originally planned to draw some people from the Yuzhang ship officer, but Dongting ship officers need excellent craftsmen to build a new one.
.There is obviously a chance nearby, but who would like to go to such a remote place? When the students from the boat school graduate, the situation may be better."
"The craftsman is so popular?"
"It's beyond your imagination. Changsha and Wuling schools have also added many students. Many children of the people go to school to study for a year, learn some basic mathematics, recognize a few words, and then transfer to the boat school.
Learn to build a ship. After three years, you can earn a good salary and support your family will not be a problem. If you are smarter or have a better family background, you can study in school for three years and then go to boat school to earn more in the future.
”
Zhou Zhong became more and more excited as he spoke, waving his arms and saliva flying.
"Is Zhou Sikong ahead?" A voice suddenly came from behind, interrupting Zhou Zhong's commentary.
Zhou Zhong and Zhong Yao turned around and saw a Confucian scholar in his thirties rushing over, panting.
"Who are you?"
"In Xiapei Kingdom Xue Zong, whose courtesy name is Jingwen, studied under Liu Shichengguo, Beihai. He just came back with Liu Shishi to check the new location of the school. He heard that Sikong was visiting, and Liu Shishi ordered me to come and take a look, but he didn't expect to catch up with him."
After hearing this, Zhou Zhong shook his sleeves and walked back with Zhong Yao.
"Where is the school going to be built?"
Xue Zong smacked his lips and showed a hint of dismay. "The place I went to see today is by the Xiang River. The location is very good, with mountains and rivers, but there are many workshops around it, which are very noisy."
"Then let's change the place."
"No, most of the students who want to enter school live there. If they are far away, they will refuse to enter the school."
Zhou Zhong and Zhong Yao looked at each other. Zhong Yao then reacted. "Those students are all children of craftsmen,
Reading is just to be able to calculate literacy, so that you can go to the workshop to work in the future?”
"It's almost the same. There are not many people who are interested in studying the classics. Master Liu originally wanted to find a quiet place, but he never had a suitable place."
Zhou Zhong said nothing.
He was a little guessed why Liu Xi was so anxious to see him, and most of them still hoped to use the power of the court.
Liu Xi is also an official, so Zhou Zhong knew exactly what they would think.
Seeing that Zhou Zhong was not talking, Zhong Yao and Xue started chatting, and in a few words, they talked about Liu Xi's article.
Xue Zong was a little nervous. "Did Zhong Ling also see that article?"
"You can see it when you post it in the newspaper." Zhong Yao smiled and said, "In less than half a month, even if you are far away from overseas, you can see this masterpiece by Mr. Liu. As for how many people respond, it is not
It's easy to say."
Xue Zong thought about it. "Will Zhong Ling respond?"
"Me?" Zhong Yao shook his head repeatedly. "I have never been to Jiaozhou and I don't have any feelings about the customs and customs of Jiaozhou."
"Is it rare for Zhong Ling to have a happy land in the Central Plains when the Central Plains is in chaos?"
"It's rare, but I am a Confucian scholar, and I am not a Taoist scholar. In the world, I should not avoid the world and seek peace, but I should take the initiative to seek governance." Zhong Yao's tone was light, but very firm. "I stay away from Jiaozhou and see the suffering of the people in the Central Plains. I am happy.
Don't get up. Furthermore, if knowledge cannot help the people, even if you study it deeply, what's the use?"
Xue Zong's face suddenly turned red.
Zhou Zhong coughed. "Yuan Chang, there is no need to blame the wise when reading books. Not everyone should actively enter the world with the seventy-two wise men of Confucius. Besides, the Master is full of knowledge and does not use it in time, and instead compiled the Spring and Autumn Period and scheduling.
The Six Classics also bring virtue to future generations.”
Zhong Yao smiled. "What Mr. Zhou said is very good, but I am biased."
Xue Zong didn't say a word.
The three of them returned to Tianzhu Inn and came to the yard where Liu Xi lived. Zhou Zhong looked around, then laughed silently, and exchanged a knowing look with Zhong Yao.
Liu Xi's teacher and student have been avoiding disaster to Jiaozhou for many years and are not engaged in production. Now they can still have so much money. I think it is because they have received a lot of funding from Shixie brothers. It is reasonable for them to excuse Shixie.
It's right.
Liu Xi ran for a long time and was exhausted. Seeing Zhou Zhong and Zhong Yao walked in side by side, he heard Xue Zong say it roughly, and his envy was beyond words.
"It's really not easy for Brother Jiamou to be at this age and still have such physical strength."
"Brother Cheng Guo is indulging in learning and not diligent in all four bodies." Zhou Zhong joked.
Liu Xi smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Brother Jiamou, don't make fun of me. I am not a person who has given me great responsibility. No matter how hard I work, I can't become a pillar. I can only be a bookworm, teach some children, and be fine.
Power.”
Zhou Zhong took his seat. "Teaching and educating people is also a good thing. The man is unemployed and the most lacking is those who read and read. Cheng Guo’s brother is full of students and will be listed in the Pantheon in the future."
"I dare not think, I dare not think." Liu Xi shook his hand repeatedly. "I just want to build a school now, collect some bunches, and support myself."
"I just heard Jingwen say that there are many craftsmen who are willing to enroll in school, and are you still worried about it?"
Liu Xi sighed and was silent for a moment. "It's not that I don't want to teach, it's really... I haven't had many days left my knowledge that I haven't studied for many years, taught me about children, and planned for rice and beams."
