Han Dao world

Chapter 1223

Kong Rong was silent for a while, hesitating.

He understood what Zhou Yu meant.

Those people must be from the Central Plains, and there are a large number of them, which are completely different from the local tribes.But it is almost impossible to see documents such as Jiantou silk from their hands.

Even if it ever existed, the Yin and Shang Dynasties have long since perished for nearly a thousand years.

If you want to get these ancient books, you can only find them from their language and customs, especially the prayers and stories sung by the priests.

Does he have the patience and ability?

Zhou Yu said that it is difficult for him to achieve anything, perhaps because of these two points, especially the latter.

Even though it was true, it still made him very hurt.

All his life he was conceited about learning, but now he is being questioned by a junior.

But he had to admit that for him, understanding those barbarian languages ​​was really difficult, not an easy task.He was old, his energy was failing, his memory was not as good as before, and it seemed too late to start learning the language of the barbarians.

If it was an ordinary ancient book, he would choose to give it up now.

But that is the Yin Shang suicide note, it may even be the legendary Three Graves and Five Classics, Eight Suo Jiuqiu.If you just slipped away from my eyes like this, how could you be reconciled?

"I... think about it." Kong Rong sighed, and said with a wry smile, "I'm old, and I'm 30 years younger..."

He smacked his lips, but stopped talking.

Zhou Yu nodded understandingly. "Don't worry, Mr. Kong, you can think about it slowly. If you want, you can live here for a year and learn their languages ​​by the way. In fact, these languages ​​sound very different from those in the Central Plains. In fact, the difference is not as big as you think. It only took me more than half a year to get a rough grasp of its meaning. With Duke Kong's intelligence, it will surely come true."

Kong Rong was skeptical. "So easy?"

"In front of Duke Kong, how dare you speak nonsense?" Zhou Yu smiled and toasted. "If Duke Kong really complained to my uncle, would I dare to return to the Central Plains in the future?"

Kong Rong laughed and raised his glass too. "Okay, you go to your Western Regions, I will live here for a year. However, there is one thing, you have to promise me first?"

"what's up?"

"I have to keep my tea. I eat meat and cheese every day, so I can't do without tea."

Zhou Yu laughed. "Don't worry, I will arrange someone to serve Konggong here, but everything you need will be guaranteed." He thought for a while, and then said: "I have another suggestion, just for Konggong's reference."

"tell me the story."

"Since you live here for a long time, you might as well teach some children to read. Firstly, it is convenient to learn their language, and secondly, it can also relieve boredom. As a descendant of Duke Kong and the sage, educating the barbarians here is not only to fulfill the will of the emperor to educate the world. , It is to follow the legacy of the saints who teach without discrimination. The imperial court should reward him, and the Confucian school should also be proud of Kong Gong."

After hearing this, Kong Rong beamed with joy and nodded again and again.

These few words of Zhou Yu have reached his heart.

That's how things settled.

Zhou Yu found the nearby tribes that day, and said that the most learned scholar of my great man, the descendant of the sage, will build a school here to teach your children to read.If you accept enlightenment, you will be the subjects of my Dahan, and you can get preferential treatment for doing business in the future, enjoy the transaction price inside Dahan, and you can also travel on Dahan's boats.In case of a disaster, you can also ask the court for relief.

When the local tribe heard about it, they were overjoyed. They honored Kong Rong as the honored guest, and specially arranged two households to serve him. They also found a dozen and a half-aged children from the tribe to study with Kong Rong, hoping to enter the Han court in the future.

After everything was arranged, Zhou Yu took a dozen or so entourages and rushed to the Yanran Governor's Mansion day and night.

-

Dragon City.

Yan Ran guarded Cao Cao standing outside the station with his hands behind his back, looking to the south.

The sun shone on his face, illuminating his eyes like morning stars.

He was holding a letter in his hand, which was just received from Mou Caoang's family.In the letter, Cao Ang said that he was transferred to serve under the command of Ding Chong, the general who conquered the South, and the order came from the emperor's oral order.

The emperor also said that he thought Cao Ang could assist Ding Chong in governing Guilin County.

From the lines, Cao Cao could feel the excitement of Cao Ang, which was completely different from the frustration expressed in the last letter from home.

This made Cao Cao feel very complicated, he was happy about Cao Ang's fate, but also inexplicably lost.As a father, he failed to help Cao Ang's career, but caused a lot of trouble.Fortunately, Cao Ang was appreciated by the emperor, and this saved the day.

Invisibly, the emperor replaced him.

"Guardian, all the envoys have arrived." Guo Jia walked over and reminded.

Cao Cao responded and turned to look at Guo Jia. "Feng Xiao, what do you think about the emperor's southern tour?"

"The great cold is coming, and the property will be affected. It is only natural to develop the south of the Yangtze River to make up for the shortage, and to plan ahead. The emperor has always been far-sighted and has a long-term plan. It is only normal for him to do so."

"Then why is he marching west at this time?"

Guo Jia shook his head. "I can't think of it. But I think it must be that we are not standing high enough, not that the emperor is wrong."

Cao Cao grinned. "It's rare for Feng Xiao to be so humble, and there are times when he thinks he's not as good as it is."

Guo Jia laughed. "Guardian, although I was conceited in the past, it wasn't that I had no one in my eyes, but that no one could come into my eyes. But I still admire everything that is truly superior."

"Then what do you think is so special about the Son of Heaven?"

Guo Jia thought about it. "Hundred crafts are a cheap industry, but the emperor is expensive. Saibei is the land of the barbarians, and the emperor occupies it. Today, the guardian can ride ten thousand people across Mobei on foot, but the barbarians bow their heads and proclaim their ministers, and dare not fight. It is the emperor's rebellion. The beauty of following the Tao. The Son of Heaven can be said to have grasped the essence of the movement of the Tao.”

Cao Cao pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement. "Now that the northern border has been settled, it is indeed the result of the emperor doing the opposite. It's just a pity that the soldiers don't fight and waste money and food. Feng Xiao, I plan to write a letter to lay off the troops. What do you think?"

Guo Jia laughed. "The Protector must have thought about it carefully, so why should I stop it? It's just that before leaving office, has the Protector thought of a successor? The Son of Heaven is exploring the south, so he may not be interested in taking care of the North."

Cao Cao looked into the distance.

Cao Ren was talking to the envoys from various tribes who were waiting to be interviewed.Those envoys all arched their hands, bowed their waists, and were a full two feet away from Cao Ren, showing awe.

"How about filial piety? He is in his prime, brave and resourceful, and able to rule the army according to the law, which coincides with the way the emperor governs the country."

Guo Jia nodded. "I think it's feasible, I'm afraid Miao will have an idea."

"Miao Cai is brave and sharp, but he is too careless. He is good at attacking but not good at defending." Cao Cao said lightly: "I plan to take him to the west to march on the west. His sons are all talents. It would be a pity to stay in the Central Plains." , when you go to the Western Regions to make meritorious deeds, become a marquis and a general, and establish yourself in the world."

Guo Jia sized Cao Cao up and smiled. "The Duhu's sons are not bad, especially the third son, Cao Zhang, who will also be a great general in the future. When we go to the Western Regions, the father and son will fight together. Not to mention the feudal lord, it is not a bad idea to be called the king."

Cao Cao glanced at Guo Jia and laughed loudly.

"Those who know me, Feng Xiaoye." He paused, and then said: "However, what I am most optimistic about is not Zhang'er, but Chong'er. Zhang'er has courage, but no strategy. Although Chong'er is young, But he has the appearance of a famous minister. If he can be taught by the emperor, he will not be weaker than Zhuge Kongming and Pang Shiyuan, and he will stand shoulder to shoulder with Liu Shizong's nephew Zhou Yuan."
