Picked up a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 648
Xing Ziang stood up slowly, raised the crutch in his hand, and slammed it on Xun Yu's back. Xun Yu was shocked, and quickly let go of Guo Jia, who was pressed under him and beaten violently by him. Getting up and standing aside, Guo Jia gradually got up, and stood beside Xun Yu with a bruised nose and swollen face. Xing Ziang looked at them angrily, and leaned heavily on the ground several times with the crutch in his hand, "Get out!!"

The two were driven out, walked to the door, glanced at each other, snorted coldly, and left here.

Not long after driving them away, another young man arrived here. The young man stood in front of the mansion and looked at it for a long time, feeling uncertain in his heart. He looked around and found that there was no one to ask. This young man The man stood in front of the door and thought, should he knock on the door?The gates of the four or five mansions here are all the same, but I was only told one vermilion gate, how can I find it?
Standing in front of the door, the young man hesitated for a long time. Fortunately, a servant opened the door and was about to go out. When he saw a person standing in front of the mansion, the servant was a little surprised, and quickly put his hand on the hilt of his waist. It was Luo Yang, he felt relieved again, frowned, and asked: "Where did you come from, what are you doing standing here?" The young man was overjoyed, and asked: "Do you dare to ask, is this the mansion of Duke Xing? "

The servant nodded and said, "Are you here to see Mr. Xing?? He's very tired, come back tomorrow." He was about to close the door, and the young man quickly said, "Wait a minute, old man, I was sent by the emperor. , I should know that I call Zhong Changtong Xinggong." Hearing his words, the servant finally understood that it seemed that he was out of touch and not visiting for private matters. He nodded and walked into the mansion with Zhong Changtong .

Originally he wanted to go out to buy some meat, but he was worried about letting Xing Ziang meet the guests alone, so he took Zhong Changtong into the courtyard and went to report by himself. When he heard his name, Xing Ziang nodded and said, "Let him in." stop"

The servant led Zhong Changtong into the inner room. The emperor had already said that this son was quite similar to the prince, but when Xing Ziang saw this young man for the first time, he didn't feel any arrogance from this young man. It can be said that this is a very humble and polite young man. The young man is still a little shy. He bows to Xing Ziang and sees him. Xing Ziang is also a little puzzled. Doesn't he mean that he is similar to the prince? ?Could it be that his talent is as good as Wang Fu's?
Xing Ziang waved his hand to make him stand up, looked at the servant beside him, and said, "You go about your own business, I will chat with him alone for a while." The servant nodded, turned and left, waiting for him After leaving, Zhong Changtong just laughed and said: "I have heard Xing Zi's name for a long time, and it is really a blessing for the younger generation to meet today." Xing Ziang smiled and asked: "Do you know why you came here?"

"Your Majesty told me that I came to learn how to build Chidao from Xing Gong. When Xing Zi passed away, I will be responsible for continuing to build it." Zhong Changtong said with a smile. Xing Ziang glanced at him and shook his hand. Head, said: "It's a bit similar. Your Majesty recommended you to me, but I have never met you, and I don't know whether you can take on the heavy responsibility. I called you here to inspect it myself."

Zhong Changtong suddenly realized.

"Then, did you learn it from Tai Tai, or from Menzi?" Xing Ziang asked.

Zhong Changtong touched his head, and said with some embarrassment: "I dare not hide it from Mr. Xing. I have been ill since I was a child. I have been thinking and thinking a lot since I was a child. Therefore, when it comes to some choices, I can't do it earlier. When I made a decision, I was thinking at the time whether I should go to Taixue or Menzixue. After thinking about it for three full years, I still couldn’t make up my mind, so I couldn’t go to both.”

Xing Ziang was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Is there such a strange disease? Well, then tell me, where should I start building this road?" Zhong Changtong was a little confused Asked: "How do I know this, His Majesty never told me."

"Can't you make a guess?"

"No, if I let me formulate all these, then why should I follow Mr. Xing?"

Xing Ziang frowned and thought for a long time before asking the last question.

"I went to Xizhou this time. The journey is far away. There are bandits, deserts, and bad winds. You and I will eat and live with the peasants. Can you bear it?" Xing Ziang asked, but stared into Zhong Changtong's eyes, There was no trace of fear in his eyes. Instead, he smiled and said, "Of course. When I was young, I visited Qing, Xu, Yu, Yan, Ji and other counties, only Youning and even Liangzhou. Xizhou, and the South have never been to this place, and they don’t need to spend their own money, so they are naturally happy.”

"Oh?? You have been to so many areas?? How old are you this year?"

"Mr. Xing, don't look at my immature appearance. In fact, I'm already in my early twenties."

"cough cough"

Looking at Xing Ziang who was coughing violently in front of him, Zhong Changtong asked in a daze, "Mr. Xing, what's wrong with you?? I know a little about medicine, so you want me to see it?"

The next day, Xing Ziang left Luoyang with Zhong Changtong, and he didn't stay here for too long. He didn't want to waste his time chatting with many officials in Luoyang. He still had a lot of business to do. Needing to get busy, he took Zhong Changtong and left without even saying goodbye to the emperor. It was only at the court meeting the next day that the officials found out that Xing Ziang had come to Luoyang and had completed the Ningzhou road.

The officials were astonished, but sighed, unable to meet him.

Following this incident, the center of gravity of the temple gradually shifted to the north. At this moment, the five northern states were linked together by Xing Ziang. With the gradual rise of commercial activities, these roads quickly played their role. Countless merchants transported their goods to Ningzhou for external sales. On the roads built by Xing Ziang, people came People go.

Of course, the initial construction of Chidao was only for the convenience of the temple's management of the place, and also for the disaster situation in the north, the military, and the temple's relief and rescue in a short time. However, what Xing Ziang did not expect was that the traffic brought Convenience not only plays an extremely important role in these aspects, but also in civil matters, in commerce and trade, and even in agriculture, mulberry and water conservancy.

The materials needed for the construction of the place were transported from all directions, and the whole north seemed to be one. The coal from Youzhou was transported to Jizhou, the timber from Jizhou became houses in Bingzhou, and the fish and shrimp from Ningzhou were praised by Xinzhou people. It was only in the first year after the completion of the construction that everyone saw the earth-shaking changes in the north. In that month, Situ Cao Cao played the emperor, hoping that the temple would greatly support Xing Gong and build Xizhou Chidao.

Naturally, the Son of Heaven did not object, and used the budget that was going to be used for official education, and used the budget on Chi Dao. This can be regarded as making Xing Ziang's affairs less difficult. , then mobilized the prefects and county magistrates in various places, and began to scout various areas. The capable people of the country of Wa, who had been helping him all the time, had already rushed to Liangzhou and other places to start exploration when Xing Ziang went to Luoyang. .

In front of Taixue Gate, in front of Jianning Stele.

A child stood in front of the stele, looking at it blankly. There were a lot of students coming and going. Seeing this child, they couldn't help but stepped forward to tease him. However, this child looked a little stupid. He, he didn't answer, and as time passed, no Tai Xue would pay attention to him anymore, let him play here, and he didn't go to Tai Xue, he liked to look at the stone monuments here all day long.

Near evening, a man in official uniform would come and take him away.

On this day, the young boy stood in front of the stele again, looking at it seriously.

"Can you understand these?" Someone suddenly asked, the child turned his head, and a young man who was not a few years older than him stood behind him, and asked curiously, the child looked at him for a moment, just now Said: "I can." The young man was a little shocked, looked at him, and said with a smile: "Not bad, at this age, you can understand these, you are very good!" The child smiled disdainfully, He didn't go to see him again, and continued to stare at the stele.

"What's your name? Judging by your appearance, you don't look like the child of some high school student."

Indeed, the child's clothes were very ordinary, without the aura of a wealthy family, but the young man who asked later, dressed in beautiful clothes, was by no means the heir of an idle family, the child said helplessly: "What does this have to do with you? ? If you want to play, go to play in the distance, how?? I still want to study!"

"Hahaha", the young man laughed and said, "Does it take so long to read the five classics above? It's useless to read them. You can enter Taixue. There are quite a few in Taixue's library. A good book is much more meaningful than reading the Five Classics. The Five Classics are just five interpretations of the classics. However, the so-called classics, different people will have different feelings when they read them. You read these and understand There is nothing wrong with other people's interpretations, but you have to have your own opinions."

Hearing what the young man said, the child was a little surprised. He turned his head and looked at the person in front of him. This person didn't seem to be much older than himself. He asked curiously, "May I ask how old you are?"

"I'm sixteen, I just look younger." The young man smiled and asked, "What about you?"

"I'm already twelve." The child said seriously.

The young man frowned and said, "It's too late to read this at the age of 12. If you are interested, follow me to Taixue in the future. I can teach you."

"Heh" the child didn't answer. He has been called a child prodigy since he was a child. At this age, he can already delve into the contents of the Stone Scriptures. Do you still need to teach me?

He thought in his heart that at this moment, his father had already arrived.

"Vill, why are you standing here??"

The official held his hand, and then he saw the young man in front of him, looked at the young man's clothes, and said with a smile: "My family is young, have you never offended you?"

"It's never happened before, but... your child is already 12 years old, why don't you send him to Taixue?"

"Tai Xue???", the official was taken aback, looking at his face, is this person making fun of me? ?He didn't answer, took little Jiang Wei's hand, and left here quickly.

Watching him leave, the young man felt a little helpless, and was about to say something, but a student from the side stopped him.

"Cang Shu, don't go, if you go again, you will be beaten."

"Why??"

"Let me tell you again, during these years of Taixue, you are the only one who entered the Taixue at the age of six, do you understand?? Don't let a young child come to Taixue!! We mortals are all young You can only come in!!! If you say one more word, even if your father is Situ, we will fight with you!!"
