Royal Road

Chapter 97: Mao Sui

After the Shangsi banquet was over, Liang Feng did not immediately rush back to Liang's Mansion, but stopped in the Wang's Mansion for a few days.

On the one hand, the outing is too exhausting, and it takes a few days to rest for a few days to continue to drive on the road. On the other hand, it takes some time to "collect talents." This is also something that Liang Feng only discovered recently. In this dynasty full of high-ranking dignitaries, technology is a kind of entertainment.

Because of the extravagant and extravagant life style, the Wei-Jin masters were curious about new things while having fun. For example, Emperor Wu was fond of female sex, and had more than ten thousand beauties in the harem. Therefore, some people offered movable sheep carts that could sit and lie down for Emperor Wu to enjoy. There are also "guide cars" and "jili drum cars", the previous generations can only be seen in historical frames, and now there are real objects. Many aristocrats fostered craftsmen to show off their riches and fight against each other and thought it would be a pleasure.

Precisely because of this atmosphere, many poor students also try their best to make fresh utensils to get in. When Luoyang was prosperous, countless poor people gathered in front of the high gate mansion. As long as there were servants to go out, they would step forward to promote their inventions. It was a scene.

However, Jinyang is not Luoyang, and now it is not in the Taikang period. Before Gaomen there were no moving heads. However, those whimsical inventors in the early years have not completely disappeared. Liang Feng ordered Jiang Ni to investigate, and if it was available, he would find a way to recruit him to the mansion.

The addiction of invention and creation is quite difficult to quit. Jiang Ni didn't have to spend a lot of effort, but found a few of the poor fellows who stayed outside the high gate every day. After Liang Feng checked their inventions one by one, he finally selected two mobile machinery as the research direction and included them in Fuzhong.

Although the invention of the machine tool is still early, some simple assembly lines should still be possible. In this way, the staffing in the workshop is complete. There are inventors with broad ideas, craftsmen responsible for implementation, and scientific research personnel supported by data. If they have brought the team up, they should be able to do a lot.

After handling all this, Liang Feng said goodbye to Wang Wen and left Jinyang.

"Lang Jun, why don't you stop for a few more days at Wangzhongzheng Mansion?" Lu Zhu took the drink and looked at Lang Jun's sunken cheeks with heartache. It took a long time to raise, but after a trip to Jinyang, he lost weight again. He had to drink medicine on the road, and Lang Jun was even more reluctant to make good use of his food.

After receiving the medicine drink, Liang Feng drank it cleanly. This is the motion sickness medicine Jiang Da prepared. Even if the carriage is changed, the return journey will take several days, so it is better to prepare early.

After drinking the medicine, he handed the bowl back to Luzhu: "Rong'er is still waiting at home. It would be better to go back earlier."

And Gu Yu is coming soon, and the farm is about to enter the busiest season of spring plowing. There will often be locust plagues after severe droughts, so we have to prepare early.

I don't know how many things are waiting when I return to the mansion. Liang Feng is closing his eyes and thinking about the affairs of the mansion. A loud voice suddenly came from outside the car: "But Shenmentinghou frame? Boy Yang Qu Duanqin, come to meet Lianghou!"

How can anyone stop a car on the road and ask for a meeting? And Liang Feng has also memorized some genealogy, where does Yang Qu come from the Duan clan? Suspicion was only a moment, and immediately, he thought of another possibility.

"Yi Yan, stop."

The Jie Ren driving the car glared at him fiercely, his gray-blue eyes filled with murderous intent, and the guards at the front and rear of the frame also changed their formations, as if they were about to rush forward and tear him to pieces. However, in the face of this chilling scene, Duan Qin's complexion did not change, still standing in front of the car with his hands together.

Having such a guard just proves that Liang's tribe is well-trained but restrains self-discipline, which is completely different from other domineering and arrogant private soldiers. It seems that I did not choose the wrong one!

Duan Qin has read poems and books since he was a child, and he has learned well and has a heart to help the world. However, he was born in a concubine, and his ancestors had only been a county guard a few generations ago, and he was not regarded by the Bingzhou high sect at all, let alone hold an official position. If you want to get ahead, you can only do everything you can to make yourself famous.

Or imitating the generations of Shan Tao, using filial piety for several years in exchange for a virtuous name; or like Tao Kan and his ilk, they spent all their wealth to entertain the Shangguan, thus leaving a bad name. What's more, such as Zhang Hua and Zuo Si, study with great concentration and get into the body with wonderful poems.

However, Duan Qin did not choose these, just because he knew that the court was in chaos.

The brothers Ji Kang, Pei Wei, and Lu brothers were still unable to save their lives in the DPRK, let alone the common people. And to take refuge in the princess like any other poor family is not what he wants. Looking at the kings of Sima, they only know that they have been fighting for war and have never given the people a half favor. Once they have gained power, they will change the face of courtesy and corporal, become extravagant and unbearable.

If you accidentally encounter such a dark lord, you can do your best, and it will not harm more people. But returning to the mountains and forests was definitely not what he wanted. Therefore, Duan Qin could only secretly observe the dignitaries around him, and only hoped that there would be someone who could show his talents.

Until he heard of Liang Feng's name.

At the time of the Jinyang epidemic, the Duan family had relatives in Jinyang city. Hearing that a Buddha had rescued a city of people, Duan Qin immediately noticed that the incident was unusual, and went to Jinyang to investigate the medical laboratory in person to find out what happened. The anti-epidemic method is not the rumored "gift of God and Buddha", but the joint rescue by all the doctors and monks. Liang Feng himself sold paper in exchange for grain and asked Huai'en Temple to do charity on his behalf. These practices are not like what Gaomen did.

Although the story of the Buddha's dream is well known throughout the city, it is the phrase "Are you alive?" that really made Duan Qin interested.

A Tinghou who has no worries about food and clothing and has a fief and food town can even say such words. Is this an invitation for yourself, or is it from your heart?

However, the subsequent actions proved Liang Feng's uniqueness step by step. Publishing Buddhist scriptures, giving medical books; selling books to buy paper, sheltering refugees; and even the first battle in Gaodu shocked Duan Qin. A small county can also stop the iron hoof of the Xiongnu rebels. This is something that Shangdang county and city have not done!

Who is the credit?

So Duan Qin went south to Gaodu to investigate the situation. The sight of Gaodu County surprised Duan Qin. There was just a military disaster. Instead of a depression, Fucheng thickened its walls to accommodate the refugees. Just outside the city, hundreds of acres of wasteland have been cultivated, and there are also dumping ditches, which is thriving.

Such an act of benefiting the people was done by the Gaodu county magistrate? Duan Qin felt otherwise. Just the money and grain needed for land reclamation cannot be supported by a county treasury. Moreover, those newly attached refugees are not only talking about the county deity, but also the name of the Buddha in Liang Mansion.

When I saw the Gaodazhai Gate that stood outside Liang's Mansion, and the waterwheel that had just been erected in two nearby villages. Duan Qin thought about it. It's just that Dongying Gong's conquest made him a little worried, and I don't know if Liang Zixi will become a member of the general's mansion because of the lure of the official. However, once he didn't save him and asked the doctor once, Duan Qin was completely convinced that Liang Feng had no intention of serving Sima Teng until the good name that came out of the Shangsi banquet.

Such a sober-minded and broad-minded gentry's child is his good master. Even if there is no official or part-time position, it is only temporary. As long as the time comes, this son will be able to ride the wind!

Therefore, Duan Qin did not wait until Liang Feng returned to the house before visiting the house, but blocked the way to see him. This is a bit rude, but it is an opportunity to show your sincerity, and to see if the other party is really looking for talents.

Seeing the carriage stopped and the bamboo curtain hanging on the carriage was gently lifted by a maid, Duan Qin was shocked and raised his head. However, he saw a handsome Langjun who was half-leaning on Pingji, and looked at him with a smile.

This person's appearance is far better than rumors! Even if he had prepared in his heart, Duan Qin was still a little startled. Maybe it was for the ride. The man didn't wear a crown, he only covered his black hair with a scarf, and his shirt was lighter. But even so, it doesn't hurt its demeanor, and it makes people feel good.

But just for a moment, Duan Qin cleared up his thoughts and said loudly: "Liang Hou's style is really vulgar."

Looking at the man in the green shirt in front of him, Liang Feng nodded quietly. The other party obviously hadn't seen him before, so it was totally amazing at first sight. But soon, he calmed down his emotions and was not affected by this face. He was still stiff, his eyes piercing, and he didn't show any flattery.

With a slight smile, Liang Feng said: "Dare to ask Duan Lang why he stopped the car?"

Duan Qin said frankly: "I would like to follow the example of Mao Sui."

I really want to recommend myself! Liang Feng did not assume the posture of a courteous corporal, and asked: "Dare to ask what is Duan Lang's talent?"

"Poetry, calligraphy and history are all well-read." I didn't expect Liang Feng to ask so directly, but Duan Qin felt a little more sure in his heart. He didn't ask about his origin, he was a talented person!

"Oh? Did that Duan Lang have a good name?" Seeing the other party so confident, Liang Feng continued.

"A countryman, he didn't get a good name." Duan Qin answered neither humble nor overbearing, nor did he conceal it.

Liang Feng raised his eyebrows: "Full of economy, why do you leave the country behind?"

"My body is humble, but I am also a trustworthy person."

This answer is interesting. Liang Feng replied: "There is no official position in the lower body, and no statehood. Why does Duan Lang entrust me?"

This is the most critical question. Duan Qin said without hesitation: "It's only because Lianghou wants to live the people!"

This sentence is far more than a thousand words. Looking at the plain, but extremely determined face, Liang Feng smiled: "I still lack a teacher in my mansion. I wonder if Duan Lang is willing to give up?"

what? Came to cast an effect, but was arranged to teach? Duan Qin was stunned for a moment, but soon reacted: "Dare to ask who is he teaching?"

"Some of the villagers and soldiers who are learning to count, as well as orphans who have lost their loved ones." Liang Feng said lightly.

It turned out to be teaching these common people? No, Liang Mansion is cultivating those humble people, knowing numbers and words! If this strategy is realized, the Liang Mansion will naturally be able to obtain available talents loyal to its own family without relying on the wealthy and common people. What if this strategy is extended to states and counties? I am afraid that even the foundations of the rich will be shaken! What kind of courage, what kind of ingenuity is this? !

Coming from a common family, knowing that knowledge is not easy to come by, and thinking about the publication of medical books in the Liang Mansion, Duan Qin became excited at once, and said, "Want to give it a try!"

He responded. I didn't feel that my talents were underestimated, but at a glance saw the real power of basic education. It's just this insight and character, it's commendable.

Liang Feng smiled and nodded: "It's so good. Yi Yan, arrange for Duan Lang to rest in the back car."

Yi Yan glanced at the guy who appeared suddenly, did not refute, and led him to the back of the frame. Liang Feng asked Green Bamboo to lower the curtain again. He accepted the person, but he still needs to carefully observe how much he can do. Liang Feng doesn't have much sense of identification with the prevailing view of seeking talents in this society. For an official position, too many hypocrites and Taoists who have learned a lot can make a perfect posture. Talking, keeping courtesy, filial piety, and beautiful words... these are never necessary conditions for a good official.

I only hope that Duan Qin can be a truly useful talent.
