Three Kingdoms: Marry Sun Shangxiang at the beginning

Chapter 285 Shang Cai, Deng stutters in Tuntian

"Deng Ai?"

Surprise flashed in Liu Feng's eyes.

That's right, in Deng Ai's records, it is true that he followed his mother and was moved from Xinye to Runan by Cao Cao in his early years.

Now after he captured Xiangyang, Cao Cao began to migrate people northward from Xinye and other places.

In this way, it is really my own butterfly effect.

But fortunately, before Deng Ai joined the army, this territory was taken down by himself.

Otherwise, he will have to face many generals of Cao Cao later.

Needless to say, Sima Yi, a general in the later period of Wei State, Deng Ai and Zhong Hui are the first-class people.

"Sister-in-law, just borrow from the library in the county and copy the books to bring back to read. This is not acceptable. You have to be taught by a famous teacher to become a talent."

The woman gave a wry smile, "I made the nobleman laugh, my family is poor, and I don't have much savings for my son to study in the academy."

"In this life, I only want to guard these [-] acres of fertile land, and a house with two acres of land for a lifetime."

Liu Feng smiled, "Why don't I go and study the son, if he can pass the test, I will bring him back to Xuchang, where I live, and let him study in Xuchang Academy, how about it?"

"Xuchang?" The woman's face was beaming, and she immediately sensed Liu Feng's background. She ran out of the rice field in a few steps, left her ox and iron plow behind, and waved towards the rice field in the distance.

"Ai'er, come here quickly, there is a nobleman to see you."

"Okay, mother."

Deng Ai came out of the rice field. He was a little dark and thin at the moment when he planted rice seedlings, but he was still quite energetic.

Being bookish all his life made Xue Zong nod his beard.

"Deng Ai, let me ask you three questions. If you answer correctly, you will be admitted, and you will be admitted to the Imperial College in Xuchang. I wonder if you dare to answer?"

Deng Ai looked at Liu Feng deeply. He was not as timid as those folk children, but rather unusually bold.

"Small... small people naturally dare to agree, but elders, if Deng Ai only answered one or two questions correctly, will he not be able to enter the Imperial Academy?"

Liu Feng grinned, "Then don't make a mistake."

"Then please ask the elder... the elder to ask questions." Deng Ai bowed to Liu Feng.

Liu Feng clasped his hands behind his back, "Can you answer questions about military skills, world governance, astronomy and geography, Qimen Dunjia?"

"nature."

"Then let me ask you the first question, if you govern a county, what should you do?"

"Can Cai give an example?" Deng Ai asked subconsciously.

"can."

"Shangcai County, 120 seven households, [-] people."

"Relying on Caishui to irrigate the fields, there are Nanman slaves who dig ditches and help with irrigation."

"But I heard that there are still many captives in the Nanman. Our army is continuing to advance southwest. If the Shangcai County Government is willing to invest millions of dollars to buy [-] Nanman slaves, and then buy [-] strong cattle for farming. Every mu of land can be irrigated and cultivated, and rice, chestnut rice, and potatoes are alternated every year to make full use of the fertility of the land."

"How to make up for Cai Wanwan?" Liu Feng asked again.

"I've heard that people's taxes are only twenty to one. If the people are willing to borrow cattle and slaves, the ratio can be raised to fifteen to one or ten to one. However, if one person is rented, he will have to cultivate ten acres of good land and borrow one more ox. Add another ten acres."

Liu Feng stroked his beard with one hand, "Aren't you afraid that you will use up the fertility of the land this year, and the harvest will be less next year?"

"There are many locust plagues and droughts in the Central Plains. If this year's... harvest is good, the common people can eat...the next year, and the year after. There will be...surplus, and they can even be sold."

"What happens in the coming year, you have to prepare for it in the coming year."

"What if there is a military disaster?"

Deng Ai hesitated for a moment, "Shangcai Nanman's [-] can be immediately charged into the new army to fight, which is enough to repel the incoming enemy."

Liu Feng laughed suddenly, "You boy, if you govern a county, you won't apply this method to a county."

"One county is certainly possible, but it's like Shangcai, with flat terrain and fertile land."

"What state?"

Deng Ai glanced at Liu Feng and bowed slightly, "Forgive me for speaking bluntly, under the rule of a big man, a county needs [-] barbarians, and a state probably needs a million people. Our army, why do we have millions of barbarians? Where are the captives?"

"interesting!"

Liu Feng laughed suddenly, "Well, there are two remaining questions, and I don't need to continue asking."

"Then I...can...can I pass the test?" Deng Ai asked curiously.

"Of course it's a pass."

"I recommend you to study in the Tai Academy. The tuition is free and room and board are provided."

"If you can successfully pass the examinations of the various subjects of the Taiyuan Academy, you will be appointed as Cai Ling for one session. According to your statement, you will be allocated [-] cows and [-] barbarians."

"If you can manage it well, then you will be transferred to the Six Departments."

After finishing speaking, Liu Feng walked back to the carriage on his own.

Xue Zong was left with a shocked face.

This Nima?
Don't those scholar examinations all have to pass the county examination, county examination, state examination, and palace examination to become an official?

And the No. 1 champion is only an official position of six hundred shi.

This kid has been the county magistrate of Cai, a county magistrate with 7 people?
What the hell, isn't that comparable to a Jinshi and a county magistrate?

And the second step is directly transferred to the Sixth Ministry as an official.

Even if he is the number one scholar, he has to spend four or five years in the officialdom before he can be transferred to the sixth department.

This Nima...

Is this kid lucky?

"Sister-in-law, it's not as good as the fields in your family. Let my servants take care of them. There is also my manor nearby. Your harvest is indispensable every year. You can go to Xuchang and live in my other courtyard, and concentrate on studying with Deng Ai." ,how?"

Mrs. Deng was a little confused, "This...how is this good?"

"We have no relatives and no reason, how can we be so valued by our benefactor."

"You don't get paid for nothing, Ai'er, this..."

Liu Feng smiled, "It's okay, when your son grows up, he can serve me."

With that said, Liu Feng pointed to the carriage next to him, "I'm riding a horse, you two get in the carriage."

"Here...the old woman still has some soft goods in her home, and there is also a memorial tablet of her deceased husband."

"It's okay, I'll let the guards get it right away."

On the way to the north, in the carriage, the mother and son hugged each other.

Try not to dirty the brocade throne on the car.

The old woman looked at Deng Ai in her arms with some trepidation.

"Ai'er, we girls really met a noble person."

"Is... a noble person?" Deng Ai smiled, "Perhaps, this one is... the biggest... the biggest noble person in the world."

"what?"

The old woman was stunned.

She hadn't thought about it that way, but she thought about it again. Those who have manors in remote areas such as Shangcai, who can easily send them to Xuchang Tai Academy, aren't they the noble man with the highest status in the big man?

"Mother, don't worry."

"Baby...it will make you a master in Xuchang." When he said this, Deng Ai paused intentionally, but he didn't stutter.

And the look in his eyes at this moment is extremely firm!
