Bronze door through time and space

Chapter 615: The Best Cattle and Horses
Yan Xu was very concerned about his future employees and prepared three sets of teaching materials, one from a great scholar in the world, one from a scholar in the late Qing Dynasty, and one from a professor in the modern world.

The world of Smiling Proud Wanderer is set in ancient times, so it mainly studies the art of war, and is also responsible for copying the ancient books he collected from other worlds.

The world was in a period of change in the late Qing Dynasty, but complete Westernization was obviously not advisable. Yan Xu was willing to help preserve some things, so he asked his mentors to spend a huge amount of money to build a bunker-level library and hired a large number of scholars to be responsible for sorting and classifying.

It is easiest to deal with in the modern world. Yan Xu donated a modern library with 100,000 books and 300 computers to a university. Since then, his words have been more effective than those of the principal, especially when he took out a large sum of money to study ancient sociology. Then, the professors gathered hundreds of students, opened a subject, and became obsessed with piles of old papers, ignoring the principal at all.

The three worlds, respectively targeting the art of war, tactics, and internal affairs, have begun a massive integration, starting with 100,000 words, with no upper limit, and it is expected that the first part will be completed within ten years.

Although what Yan Xu explained was only the introductory part, it was also quite professional. He stunned everyone as soon as he opened his mouth. The effect was comparable to when chicken soup articles first came out, and everyone stood in front of the screens at airports and stations to drink chicken soup and undergo self-improvement.

Even an illiterate person would be fascinated by what he said, not to mention that everyone present was talented. Even Huang Zhong forgot the purpose of his visit.

When it got dark, a bell rang and the lecture ended successfully.

Zhang Fei clamored for a grand banquet, and Liu Bei wanted to deepen their relationship, so he went with everyone, including Huang Zhong who was hesitant to speak.

In fact, Yan Xu had already prepared what Huang Zhong asked for.

Huang Zhong is a man without much ambition, otherwise, with his martial arts, he would not have remained unknown until now. But he also has things that are difficult to talk about and cannot let go.

Huang Zhong is now in his forties, which is not young even in modern times. In ancient times, he could even call himself an old man. However, he still has no children. How can he not be anxious?

So the reason Jian Yong persuaded him to come was that there was an old Chinese doctor here, who was a living god and could cure infertility.

Fortunately, he did not say that he specialized in treating infertility, otherwise Yan Xu would have let him experience what Tang Monk had experienced in the Kingdom of Women and specially gave him a bucket of water from the Zimu River to keep him full.

Huang Zhong couldn't sit still when he heard such good news.

When one is desperate, one will try any possible means to cure an illness, let alone someone like Huang Zhong who is already forty years old and still has no signs of improvement. He was even more anxious than Jian Yong.

In fact, Huang Zhong’s problem was that he damaged his essence and meridians by practicing martial arts improperly when he was young. It’s not that he was incapable of having a baby, but that the probability was too low. This is also the reason why he didn’t have a child until he was fifty, and the child died young.

After taking the elixir for fertility and good fortune, Huang Zhong's face was flushed with joy. He immediately went back to resign from his post and bring his family here to settle down.

I am grateful on the one hand, and on the other hand, Yan Xu's teaching quality is so high that if he has a child
Although I don’t have any children yet, I already have the desire to have a successful son.

Yan Xu also had plans for this. After all, the power of cattle and horses cannot be confined to one generation, but needs to be passed on to future generations.

In fact, Yan Xu did just that. In addition to asking everyone to bring their families over, he also opened a private school to give lectures.

There are not many people, mainly Guan Ping, Ma Chao, and a few younger generations from side branches.

Thinking of this, Yan Xu felt that he should prepare a pill for Liu Bei, and Zhang Fei's marriage should also be put on the agenda.

If there is no war, then get married and have children quickly to pass on the excellent bloodline. Otherwise, where will the high-quality cattle and horses come from?

Among the younger generation, the most promising ones are naturally Guan Ping and Ma Chao.

Although Guan Ping was not as good as his father, he was loyal and filial. Moreover, if Guan Yu had not been away from him during his critical teenage years, resulting in a gap in his education, he would not have become a first-class military general.

However, Yan Xu's focus was on Ma Chao, the famous filial son. He was determined to rebel and killed his father, brothers, wife, children, and more than 200 people from the clan. He was a great example of filial piety, and even blew up his ancestral tomb.

Moreover, he didn't want to let Lu Bu take all the credit. Before he died, he planned to acknowledge Han Sui as his father. This was truly a filial act.

After meeting Ma Teng, Yan Xu understood what was wrong with Ma Chao's filial piety.

By the time of Ma Ping, Ma Teng's father, the Ma family had fallen to the bottom of society and could not even marry. Otherwise, Ma Ping, who considered himself a descendant of General Ma Yuan, would not have married a Qiang woman.

With his family in such decline, he naturally did not have good educational conditions, and he even had no way to become an apprentice. In this respect, he was even worse than Liu Bei.

So although Ma Teng learned some good martial arts, that was all.

Fortunately, thanks to my father's words and deeds, I did not go astray, at least in the early days, but later on I became arrogant.

Ma Chao was not good enough. It was bad enough that he had a wild temper and was a naughty kid like him, but the biggest problem was that when he was sensible, Ma Teng was at his most arrogant. Therefore, he was obsessed with separatist regime and becoming a king, which was also the reason for the tragedy of the Ma family.

Fortunately, Ma Chao is still young, and Yan Xu, in addition to academics, is also proficient in boxing and medicine.

Fists and feet speak of benevolence and righteousness, weapons speak of morality, and combined with medical skills that can revive the dead, it will surely be able to correct the situation, because if it is not changed, the person will really die.

What’s even better is that because of his excellent medical skills, he can revive a person even if he was beaten to death, and there is no visible injury at all.

Unless it is Nezha who dares to cut himself into pieces, Yan Xu doesn’t think there is any naughty child that he cannot teach.

This time Liu Bei had an additional Huang Zhong who was in his prime. Lu Bu would tremble whenever he saw Huang Zhong at this time. After all, one was at the peak of his vitality and the other had not yet grown up. The confrontation between them was like a father beating his son.

However, it is hard to say what happened at Hulao Pass a few years later. At that time, Huang Zhong began to decline from his peak, while Lu Bu was on the rise.

Even so, Huang Zhong's existence is like a stabilizing force.

In comparison, although Ma Teng is a little inferior, he is also a first-class talent, not to mention that he has a top-notch general and two second-rate generals. This family alone is enough to form a force.

The only problem is that, not only do we not have any advisers, we don’t even have anyone who can handle domestic affairs.

This is embarrassing. They recruit talents to solve domestic problems.
Not only Liu Bei was troubled by this, but Yan Xu was also troubled because he did not expect that those smart people were so difficult to fool.

In fact, the smart people of this era are either from aristocratic families or from humble backgrounds, and those who truly come from the lower classes are rare.

When smart people think about things, they won't bow down impulsively like warriors do. Family background, talent, potential, these are all within their considerations. So even though Liu Bei is now a little famous, he is only a little famous.

In the eyes of these smart people, the best person for the younger generation to turn to is the second son of the Yuan family. The value of a family with three officials in four generations is really worth using.

This is also the reason why Liu Bei had many brave generals but very few counselors.

The second son of the Yuan family not only had a bunch of generals under his command, but also so many counselors that they were even prone to fighting. Cao Cao became so powerful because he picked up three top counselors from his good brother Yuan Shao.

This forced Yan Xu to think of a solution again. At least Jian Yong should not be idle and should go out to recruit talents.
