The sun hung high in the sky, and in the autumn woodland, there were no fish looking for food in the stream. Suddenly, there was a sound of horse hooves, and the flowing stream water was suddenly trampled by the horse's hooves and splashed.
There were about a thousand knights, including two carriages. Among the withered vegetation, the team moved forward slowly, and Liu Cong was lying on the horse.
"The waves in the rivers and lakes are surging, look at how carefree I am wandering around..." Liu Cong lay on the horse and experienced the environment that had not been spoiled by civilization. The horse moved forward leisurely, and Liu Cong unconsciously
Started humming.
Although Duan Kun didn't understand, his body on the horse began to swing unconsciously.
"Old Duan, what are you doing there?" Xing Daorong asked with a dog's tail grass in his mouth.
Duan Kun came back to his senses, "I have never heard such a melody as the song my lord hummed, but for some reason, my body unconsciously wanted to move along with it."
"Scoff." Xing Daorong sneered, "Why can't I hear it?"
Duan Kun looked at him with some contempt, "You pig-killer know nothing."
Xing Daorong hates people calling him a pig butcher, "You are still a barbarian! Although I am a pig butcher, no matter how good I am, I have captured Liu Bei's general Chen Dao."
Duan Kun said with disdain, "First, you were attacking someone secretly. Second, Chen is still the lord's general. And I am a barbarian, but I still know how to read. What about you? How many big characters do you know?"
Xing Daorong chuckled, "What bothers me the most is reading those words."
Duan Kun said helplessly, "My lord, there are requirements in the military orders and regulations. Senior officers must be literate. There are also teachers and professors in the army. It's not like you can't afford to read. It's better to study hard. Otherwise, if someone says
You don’t even know the words, why are you following the lord? What should you do?"
Xing Daorong's determination was broken, "I really can't learn that thing. It's impossible for the lord to not want me, right?"
Duan Kun glanced at him and ignored him, "Drive!" He clamped the horse's belly and headed forward.
Liu Cong's target today is the three elders Sima Hui, Huang Chengyan, and Pang Degong. If he wants to strengthen the establishment of education in Jingzhou, he needs the reputation and support of these three people.
When they arrived at the village where the three of them were, Liu Cong looked inside. Sima Hui and Pang Degong were playing chess, while Huang Chengyan was lying on his back on the millstone in the yard, holding a wooden gourd and pouring a sip of wine into his mouth from time to time.
On the carriage behind Liu Cong, Zhang Zhongjing was dressed in white plain clothes. Although he looked older, his legs and feet were extremely nimble, and he even jumped out of the carriage like a young man.
In another carriage, Duan Kun had already picked up the two children Deng Ai and Zhou Yuan.
Liu Cong led his two children and Zhang Zhongjing into the courtyard, "I want to meet the three elders. I came uninvited. I hope you will forgive me."
Sima Hui and Pang Degong smiled at him and nodded. Huang Chengyan, who was sitting on the millstone, sipped his wine and said, "Boy, you defeated Cao Cao and then expelled Liu Bei. Why are you still here now? Do you want us three old men?"
Is this guy coming out?"
Liu Cong bowed to Huang Chengyan and said, "Inviting the three of you to come out is indeed part of this trip."
Huang Chengyan smiled sarcastically, "You came to us for more than one thing?"
Liu Cong nodded, "I want to open a school in Jingzhou and hire three people to teach students. In addition, with the reputation of three people, it will be easier to build a school."
"Your father also invited us when he started the school. Why do you think you can invite us out?" Huang Chengyan sat up and said with some disdain.
Liu Cong continued, "The school established by Gu is different from the previous ones. It was funded by the government, and all the teachers and teaching materials were provided by the government."
"Nine years of compulsory education are provided free of charge to children of school age. If children in need want to study, the government will also provide help."
"Pa da." The chess piece in Sima Hui's hand fell on the chessboard, and he turned to look at Liu Cong, "Is what you said true?"
Liu Cong nodded, and Pang Degong also said, "If this is true, it is a benevolent policy that benefits the country and the people, and is the first of its kind in the world."
Huang Chengyan sobered up slightly and asked doubtfully, "Do you have that much money?"
Liu Cong once again expressed his reform ideas to the three of them. The three of them were greatly surprised by all kinds of fantastic ideas!
Sima Hui stroked his beard and said, "The other three old men don't care. If the school is really what you said, just wait until you build the school and send a message to us old guys."
The three of them have taught countless people in their lifetime, and they strongly support this policy of encouraging education.
Liu Cong nodded, then pointed to the people behind him and said, "These two children, I would like to ask three gentlemen to teach them in person."
Sima Hui smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "The three of us are old and we originally planned to take over the mountain, but we didn't expect that the Marquis of Chu would have such a method."
Pang Degong continued what he said, "If Chuhou School is established, we will teach no less than these two children."
Huang Chengyan stood up and squatted in front of Deng Ai and Zhou Yuan. He smelled of alcohol when he spoke, "What are your names?"
"Deng...Ai...Ai" Deng Ai bowed to Huang Chengyan.
Huang Chengyan squinted his eyes and looked at Deng Ai, "How many Ai is it?"
"Fengxi, Fengxi, it's the same Phoenix." Deng Ai seemed to understand the importance of this moment, and he didn't even stutter when he spoke.
"Hahaha." Sima Hui and Pang Degong laughed, "This little guy is quite quick-witted."
Although Zhang Zhongjing has been treating Deng Ai with medication, the stuttering problem cannot be solved immediately.
Huang Chengyan looked at Zhou Yuan again and asked, "What about you? What's your name? Why do you want to study?"
Little Zhou Yuan also bowed to Huang Chengyan and said, "Zhou Yuan, I study in order to prevent my parents from suffering."
In Zhou Yuan's heart, if he could study well, his parents would suffer less.
Huang Chengyan touched Zhou Yuan's little head with some relief, "Brother Liu, just leave these two children here. Tell me what else you have to do?"
Liu Cong introduced Zhang Zhongjing to the three of them, "This is the miracle doctor Zhang Zhongjing. I invite him to come and take a look at your health."
These three old guys must be put to good use, and Liu Cong is reluctant to let them die too quickly.
"I'm interested." Huang Chengyan looked at Liu Cong and said.
Zhang Zhongjing grabbed Huang Chengyan's wrist and said, "Don't move!"
Huang Chengyan, who had just wanted to move, calmed down after hearing this.
"Open your mouth!"
"Lift your legs!"
After Zhang Zhongjing examined Huang Chengyan for a while, he shook his head and said, "Drink less from now on. I will pay attention to you when I enter the house. You are still drinking at your age."
"A pale tongue with white coating, a sore waist, weak legs, ringing in the ears, and hot palms. These are signs of liver and kidney yin deficiency. Pay more attention to sleep and eat a light diet."
Seeing Zhang Zhongjing staring at him, Huang Chengyan raised his gourd hand and put it down, "I go to bed after drinking every day, and I sleep well."
Zhang Zhongjing snatched the wine bottle from him and poured a large sip into his mouth, "Xinghua Village."
"My wine!" Huang Chengyan was very worried.
"Don't drink anymore. Sleep after drinking. Too much sleep is not a good thing. Walk around every day, play chess like those two people, and cultivate your sentiments." Zhang Zhongjing said and pointed at Sima Huihe.
Pang Degong, then walked towards the two of them.
Sima Hui and Pang Degong quickly stood up and saluted. Zhang Zhongjing was older than them. "I have heard of Zhang Ji's name for a long time and have admired him for a long time."
Zhang Zhongjing nodded in return, and Huang Chengyan, who was behind him, approached Liu Cong and asked, "Boy, this Zhang Ji is indeed a miracle doctor. He is older than the three of us old guys. How did you clear him out?"
Liu Cong smiled and told him about his plan to establish a medical school and hospital. After hearing this, Huang Chengyan looked at Liu Cong in surprise again, "I'm afraid you are the only prince in the world who really takes the people into his heart.
!”
While the two were talking, Zhang Zhongjing had already checked Sima Hui and Pang Degong, and there was nothing serious. Liu Cong left the two children on Zhuangzi and went down the mountain with Zhang Zhongjing.
