It turned out that Huang Chengyan had been visiting Cai Mao's Mansion at the end of the past two months. The main purpose was of course to take a look at the Jingzhou briefing for that month. And A Chou would take the opportunity to go back to the Zhou Mu Mansion every time he came.
I don't know whether to go see my aunt or to play with Liu Yu.
However, Ma Yun took the opportunity to observe her twice. Sure enough, the position of the birthmark on this little girl's face changed slightly. Although this change was very small, ordinary people could not detect it without paying attention, but Ma Yun
Her eyes were very vicious. She had seen through Liu Xin's clever disguise, and naturally this flaw could not escape her eyes. Not only that, Ma Yun also found that A Chou's skin color and hair color were slightly different compared to the two times.
The differences. These differences can only be discovered by Ma Yun who pays special attention and is as meticulous as hair.
When Huang Chengyan heard Cai Mao's question, he couldn't help but feel angry and funny, and said: "Degui, can't I come before the end of the month? I'm not here to read the briefing, but to help you with your advice."
Cai Mao said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, sister-in-law, you came just in time to help me give me some advice. I can't make any mistakes this time."
Huang Chengyan was shocked when he received the good news sent by Cai Mao. He didn't understand why Liu Xin valued Cai Mao so much and gave him such an important position as the prefect of Xiangyang. He was also a prefect, and as the prefect of Xiangyang in the city, he was more
Compared with the other eight counties in Jingxiang, the status of Xiangyang is obviously higher, just like the mayor of an ordinary prefecture-level city compared with the mayor of a provincial capital city. Since it is a state city, the personnel and social relations in Xiangyang are definitely much more complicated.
Naturally, we need to be more careful when handling it. Huang Chengyan is very afraid that Cai Mao won't be able to handle it.
Everything has two sides, but Liu Xin looked at the appointment of Cai Mao as the governor of Xiangyang from another angle. Cai Mao represented the Cai family, the leading family in Jingzhou, and as soon as he arrived in Jingzhou, the Cai family stood clearly
On his own side, the position given to Cai Mao should not be too bad, otherwise it would be unjustifiable. Liu Xin now also discovered that Cai Mao did not have the ability to lead troops. However, he was quite competent when he was the magistrate of Xiangyang County. Now let him be a
There should be no problem with being the governor of Xiangyang. Besides, Liu Xin felt that with him in charge of Xiangyang, he didn't have to worry about Cai Mao causing any trouble.
Sitting in the hall of Cai Mansion, Huang Chengyan felt relieved after hearing Cai Mao's plans for the future. As the saying goes, diligence can make up for weakness. Although Cai Mao is a little less capable, as long as he thinks twice before acting, nothing will go wrong.
Huang Chengyan came alone this time. After understanding Cai Mao's current situation, he relaxed and said: "Degui, you are now the governor of Xiangyang. There are two places in Xiangyang city that I haven't gone to yet.
Yes, can you take me for a walk?"
Cai Hao knew that every time he came, in addition to reading the briefings, wandering around the city was also one of his compulsory courses. He couldn't help but wonder: "The stone slabs on the streets of Xiangyang City are about to be broken by you. Is there anywhere else you haven't been to?"
?”
Huang Chengyan smiled and said: "It's Xiangyang Academy and Jingzhou Research Institute."
There are three hospitals in Xiangyang city, medical school, academy and research institute. You can enter the medical school at will. Huang Chengyan has already visited twice. He has heard about Zhang Ji's medical skills for a long time, and now Zhang Ji has brought many disciples.
, there are patients coming in and out of the medical school from time to time. Regardless of whether they are rich or poor, Zhang Ji and his disciples treat them equally. This makes Huang Chengyan admire him. Especially the plaque hanging on Zhang Ji's clinic - The Doctor's Parents
Heart, it is said that Liu Zhoumu put forward the moral requirements for medical practitioners, and it was written by Cai Yong, the dean of Xiangyang Academy. Seeing this plaque, Huang Chengyan respected Liu Xin even more, and now he has changed without knowing it.
He no longer addressed Liu Xin by his first name. Huang Chengyan also wanted to visit the academy and research institute, but they were heavily guarded and he couldn't get in.
When Cai Mao heard that he wanted to see these two places, he couldn't help but mused: "Sister-in-law, if you want to see Xiangyang Academy, I can take you there in the afternoon. As for the academy, even I can't go in without the lord's warrant."
Huang Chengyan was deeply surprised. He didn't expect that this institute was so mysterious. Even Cai Mao couldn't take a look at it, so he could only say angrily: "Well, forget it if you can go to the institute. I have nothing to do in the morning, so just take me to the academy."
, why wait until the afternoon again."
Cai Hao shook his head and said: "It's definitely not possible in the morning. Mrs. Zhou Mu teaches the children in person. How can outsiders come in so easily?"
Ma Yun now goes to the academy every morning and the research institute in the afternoon. Ma Yun herself doesn't mind being in front of others, and Liu Xin doesn't care about these scruples. He often encourages Bian Yu, Cai Yan and the others to go out more often.
, there is nothing wrong with giving lectures and doing research to Ma Yun, not to mention that Ma Yun is doing this to help him. However, Liu Xin's subordinates don't think so anymore. They have to avoid it when they should avoid it.
unambiguous.
Huang Chengyan couldn't help but be secretly surprised. He always thought that Liu Xin was already very talented. He didn't expect that even his wife could teach the children in the academy. No wonder Liu Xin's son was so smart. Huang Chengyan knew that A Chou always made trouble every time
When I went to see my aunt, I actually wanted to fight with Liu Yu. Huang Chengyan often gave his daughter advice behind his back, but in the end, the two sides fought evenly. It seemed that Liu Yu must have some expert advice behind him.
Huang Chengyan has been to Yingchuan Academy many times, but after seeing Xiangyang Academy, he was hooked. Not only does it occupy a larger area and have more houses than Yingchuan Academy, but it is also not because the facilities here are better than Yingchuan Academy.
It was much better, but it was about the teaching methods and content taught here. Especially Huang Chengyan saw a mathematics note taken by a student here. This course was taught by Mrs. Zhou Mu herself. The various symbols in it were like heavenly books.
He was so amazed that he wished he could secretly take away the students' notes.
In the eighth month of the golden autumn, Cai Yan gave birth to a daughter. As early as half a month ago, Cai Yong and his wife had been busy. Mrs. Cai frequently went in and out of the backyard of the Zhou Mufu, preparing this and that for her daughter. Ma Yun saw that,
Bian Yu's eyes grew hot, she was so lucky to have her mother's family. Mrs. Cai was also experienced. Looking at her daughter's pointed belly, she thought she was pregnant with a boy, but she turned out to be a girl. She couldn't help but be disappointed.
Cai Yong was also patriarchal in his thoughts. It was his lifelong regret that he had never been able to give birth to a son. Even the memorial to the emperor mentioned that he had no children. This time, Cai Yong was more open-minded, since Cai Yan could give birth to a daughter.
, he will be able to give birth to a son one day, and all he cares about is whether Liu Xin will let his son take his mother's surname.
In this era, it is very deviant for a child to take his mother's surname. Cai Yong can be regarded as a defender, but now he is cheering for Liu Xin to do such deviant things. This can also be regarded as another kind of butt that determines the head.
, his butt is sitting on the side that continues the fragrance of the Cai family. Naturally, it is not that important whether the child takes the father's surname or the mother's surname. Just like the current debate on whether to ban firecrackers, some people have always supported setting off firecrackers.
Carrying the banner of national traditional culture, once a child in his family has to take the high school entrance examination or college entrance examination, he immediately transforms into the most determined person who prohibits liberalization.
When Liu Xin walked into the room, Cai Yan's face was still stained with tears. She always felt a little disappointed after giving birth to a daughter. Cai Yan was not worried about what Liu Xin would think. She was secretly talking about herself and Bian Yu.
Compare. Liu Xin knew what she was thinking, grabbed her hand and comforted her: "Yan'er, don't think too much. In fact, I like both boys and girls, and I even prefer girls."
Cai Yan's big eyes flashed, as if he didn't believe it, but he didn't speak.
Liu Xin looked at her appearance and said angrily: "You take good care of your body obediently and keep the green hills, so you don't have to worry about running out of firewood. From now on, if we work harder and give birth to ten or eight children, we won't have to worry about it."
Son?"
Next to them, Ma Yun and Bian Yu had already covered their mouths and kept laughing. Cai Yan was so ashamed that she didn't dare to say a word.
As time passed, the debate between the government and the public about Liu Xin gradually faded away, and Liu Xin also tried his best to keep a low profile and did not introduce any new policies. Now that Jingzhou has a unified government and people, bandits and bandits have nowhere to hide, and all counties have entered a period of chaos.
A period of rapid development.
Compared with Jingzhou, other places in the Han Dynasty were not so stable. In the past two years after the Yellow Turban Rebellion subsided, all counties in the world had a short period of recuperation. But this calm did not last long. First, the various ethnic groups in the north
Frequently invading You, Bing, Liang and other states, rebellions broke out in various places. There was a border attack in Xiliang, Han Sui rebelled, and the Black Mountain bandit Zhang Yan in Jizhou gathered a crowd of millions, and the court mobilized troops and generals everywhere, and was exhausted. Changsha bandit Qu Xing
After escaping from Jingzhou, he disappeared for a while. Taking advantage of the war in the world, he raised his flag to rebel again. He actually captured Lujiang City and proclaimed himself the prefect of Lujiang.
When the news reached Xiangyang, Liu Xin was furious and gathered a crowd to discuss, wanting to send troops to attack Lujiang. Jushou, Tian Feng, and Kuai Yue all tried hard to persuade him to stop him. It was already winter, the weather was severely cold, and the transportation of grain and grass was inconvenient. In addition, troops were sent across the border.
, I’m afraid Quan will once again arouse criticism from both the government and the public.
After Liu Hong got the unknown spice, he really felt the joy of love between men and women. From then on, he indulged in women's sex all day long, ignored the government affairs, and handed over all political affairs to ten people headed by Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong.
At the same time, a steady stream of memorials from the courtiers denounced the ten permanent servants were sent to Liu Hong, and they all accused the ten permanent servants of being the main culprits of the chaos in the world. Although these memorials were suppressed by Liu Hong,
However, Shi Changshi still felt a deep sense of crisis.
Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong once fought openly and covertly on the issue of Liu Xin, but now they have put aside their previous differences and are back together again. They know very well that in order to silence the courtiers, the first thing is to calm down the rebellion in various places. Zhang Rang and others are now
With great power in hand, after a conspiracy, he repeated his old plan. He first sent a false edict to recruit Zhang Yan and made him the general of Pingnan Zhonglang. He also appointed Zhang Wen as the general of chariots and cavalry, and Dong Zhuo as the general of Polu, and went to Xiliang to conquer the border.
Zhang, Han Sui. Then he issued another corrective edict, appointing Sun Jian as the governor of Lujiang to attack Qu Xing.
