Han Dao world

Chapter 913

Liu Biao repeatedly shook his hands and refused.

He didn't dare to get rough with Yuan Shu, this bastard really could do it.I was nearly sixty years old, and I was injured by him, and I was bedridden, which was uncomfortable.

"Then according to what you mean, draw it truthfully, without changing a single bit?"

"Don't change it." Yuan Shu raised his hand and said loudly: "Since you are admitting your mistake, you have to admit it quickly. What's the use of covering it up? You don't have to save face, just start here, from the three doors in front of my house. Let's go out."

Liu Biao frowned and didn't answer Yuan Shu's words.

Ever since he knew that Yuan Shu was coming to Luoyang to preside over their drawing scrolls, he knew that it was a bit troublesome.

The emperor's dissatisfaction was secondary—no matter how dissatisfied he was, it was impossible for him to preside over this matter himself—but Yuan Shu was a big trouble.

One is that he is too familiar with Luoyang, and the other is that he has no bottom line in life.

Yuan Shao just underestimated his shamelessness. First he lost Lujiang and Yan Liang, and then he was captured by him, and died after being humiliated.

This guy doesn't save face for his own family, how can he be expected to save face for others?
If you really want to turn all those over-the-standard houses in Luoyang into picture scrolls and label them with names, the reputations of countless people will be ruined in one fell swoop.

Confucianism attaches great importance to etiquette, and exceeding the system is the most unacceptable behavior of Confucianism.A scholar-bureaucrat who regards himself as a moral man overruns the house, which will cause huge damage to the hearts of the people. This is something Liu Biao, a scholar-bureaucrat, cannot accept.

Yuan Shu is not a scholar-bureaucrat, so if he does not consider these issues, he, Liu Biao, cannot but consider them.

But how to deal with Yuan Shu is a big problem.

"Gaolu, if you really want to put everything in front of you into a picture book, I'm afraid that Yuan's disciples and old officials will not agree." Liu Biao persuaded patiently: "As the head of Yuan's family, how will you convince the public in the future?"

"People are not sages, so who can do without faults? If faults can be corrected, there is nothing good about it." Yuan Shu raised his finger to the sky, and said loudly: "Although I, Yuan Shu, am not talented, I can face my own faults. Why can't I convince the public? Don't they just obey the taboos and taboos? A hypocrite, a real gentleman who refuses to accept his mistakes and can correct them?"

Liu Biao almost laughed out loud.

Are you really a gentleman?This may be the biggest joke I've ever heard in my life.

But he dared not speak, nor did he dare to laugh.

He was afraid that Yuan Shu would become angry from embarrassment and directly use violence.

After laughing in his heart, Liu Biao's head hurt even more.

This dog is hopeless, I'm afraid it doesn't make sense, so I can only test the waters with Yuan Shi.

"In this case, it's up to you to draw the picture scroll of Yuan's former residence first, and then other things." Liu Biao thought for a while, and then said: "Although there are many houses in Luoyang City, there are not many houses that can compare with Yuan's former residence. Many. When I think about it carefully, it seems that there are only Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong’s former residences. How about painting their former residences after painting Yuan’s former residence?”

Yuan Shu turned his head to stare at Liu Biao's eyes, the corners of his eyes twitched twice, and said through gritted teeth, "Okay, let's do this."

"Also, with so many houses in Luoyang, I'm afraid I won't be able to finish painting them in a short time. I plan to draw one volume and print another volume to see public opinion. Do you think it will be engraved by Hedong Yinfang or Suiyang Yinfang?"

"Why do you want to go far away and go to Hedong?"

"Hedong Yinfang's technology is better, but the price is more expensive." Liu Biao smiled slightly. "Since it is to be handed down to future generations, the more exquisite the better, the better. It is worth spending more money."

Yuan Shu blinked his eyes. "You draw first, and I'll find out about printing."

"Okay." Liu Biao stood up. "I'll arrange it immediately, and I will start redrawing Yuan's former residence today, and you happen to be there. I may need you to mention some damaged places."

After speaking, Liu Biao cupped his hands, turned and left.

Yuan Shu squinted his eyes, staring at Liu Biao's back, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter.

When Liu Biao's news was outside the door, Chang Nu came over and said in a low voice: "My lord, if you really paint the Yuan's former residence truthfully, I'm afraid you will be cast aside by others. In the future, you..."

"It's okay if they don't accept me. Anyway, the glory of the fourth and third Yuan family is over." Yuan Shu raised his hand and said through gritted teeth: "But if the emperor is not satisfied, I will be miserable. If it doesn't work, the Yuan family will rise up again. There is no chance. Liu Jingsheng, an old thief, uses me, Yuan Shi, as a shield, how can I let him get what he wants. Even if it hurts both sides, I can only smash my teeth and swallow it."

Chang Nu sighed and said nothing more.

When Liu Biao went out, a group of scholars surrounded him, looking at him expectantly.

"Redraw." Liu Yang raised his sleeves. "Start from the former residence of Yuan's family, and start from the three gates. Draw whatever you have, don't save face. If you don't know anything, just ask Yuan Gonglu. Everything is important, and every room is drawn. "

A middle-aged scholar was in a hurry. "When will it be painted?"

Liu Biao glanced at him. "Are you in a hurry? If you have other things to do urgently, you can do them first, and I'll find someone else."

The scholar smiled. "What can I do. I'm just worried that the emperor will be dissatisfied if the time drags on for too long."

"No, we are doing it according to his intention." Liu Biao said lightly: "It took half a year to paint Yuan's former residence, and another half a year to paint Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong's former residences. For other things, one year has passed. In one year, many people will return to Luoyang and can do many things.”

Suddenly, everyone raised their thumbs up in unison.

Liu Biao's move was clever. With the stability of Luoyang and the entry of Jingzhou into the imperial court, more and more people are returning home.After returning home, seeing that the house was dilapidated, it was natural to repair it.In this case, those parts that are beyond the control are naturally the focus of the inventory.

As long as the delay is long enough, those over-managed mansions will disappear naturally.Without it, naturally there is no way to draw a scroll.

In the future, only Yuan's former residence and the residences of Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others will be handed down to the world.

Since Yuan Shu is shameless, let him be ignored.

"Go to Nangong." Liu Biao called a few more people and told them to go to the North and South Palaces to investigate, to see which palaces were intact, which palaces were damaged, and what the damage was like, and whether it was necessary to draw urgently, so as not to collapse before drawing.

Those people understood and went with tools.

Although Liu Biao didn't say anything, they all knew that Qingsuomen, which Yuan Shu had set on fire, was the top priority.Since Yuan Shu wants to claim credit from the emperor, he should first announce his evil deeds.If Yuan Shu burned the palace, it would be fine, even if the others were a bit over the top, the emperor would have no reason to punish him severely, otherwise it would be unfair.

Although Yuan Shu is a scoundrel, but if he wants to compete with Liu Biao, it is still not as good.

Everyone acted separately with the pride of a tacit understanding.

After a while, Yuan Shu came out and looked around. "Liu Jingsheng, how many people do you have under your command?"

Liu Biao sighed. "After the chaos, all the waste was waiting for work, and the emperor sent troops to Jizhou again. He spent a lot of money and food every day. I can only allocate a lot of people. I really can't hire a few people."

"Then we have to draw until the year of the monkey?" Yuan Shu frowned. "According to your progress, I'm afraid that the emperor has pacified Jizhou, and you haven't finished painting yet."

Liu Biao asked, "Then what do you think we should do? Do you have money? Only with money can we recruit more people and buy more materials."

Yuan Shu put his hands on his hips, turned around, and spat. "There are only ruins left in Luoyang City, and there is no place to rob it. Where can I get money?"
