Chapter 380 Study hard
After temporarily settled down the housework, Wei Ba began his study career in the palace.
Perhaps because he knew Liu Chan's IQ so much that Zhuge Liang paid great attention to the difficulty of the textbooks prepared by Zhuge Liang. He not only explained the rules and regulations involved in the text, but also annotated some words with changes in meaning in ancient and modern times to ensure that people with medium IQ can understand it. However, in Wei Ba's opinion, Zhuge Liang's hard work was in vain, because Liu Chan was not unable to understand it, but he was not interested at all. He would rather call bored in the palace every day than to sit down and study these textbooks that have devoted Zhuge Liang's countless hard work.
Wei Ba believed that no matter whether Zhuge Liang really wanted to teach Liu Chan to become a wise king, at least half of his white hair on his head was white because of Liu Chan. Not to mention anything else, just these textbooks filled with imperial study rooms can be seen. These are all written by Zhuge Liang in one stroke. Even if you don’t have to think about it, just copying it is enough to make people jaw-dropping.
Wei Ba made a rough estimate. The textbooks are not worth one million words in total, and 500,000 is indispensable. In addition to Legal scholarship such as Guanzi, Shangjun Books, and Shenzi, there are also historical books such as "On the Former Han Affairs", and military books such as "Six Strategies". It can be said that Zhuge Liang prepared all the knowledge needed to become a qualified monarch for Liu Chan.
It’s a pity that Liu Chan was not interested at all. He was guarding a treasure mountain but still couldn’t become a wise ruler, and all his efforts were wasted.
Fortunately, he came, and Zhuge Liang's hard work was finally in vain. I just don't know if Zhuge Liang knew that all the hard work was cheaper, Wei Ba felt glad or sad.
Whether Zhuge Liang was glad or sad, Wei Ba really did it day and night, and forgot to eat. Just like he was self-abuse and hard to practice to change his body as soon as possible, he is now training his thoughts in hell. His diligence is enough to make Liu Chan... feel relieved that this gunman has found the right person.
Wei Ba was an engineering student and had limited understanding of politics and economy. The party’s years of indoctrination education failed in him. In addition to the famous "Socialist Economics", he only remembered a few clichés such as "Economics is the foundation, politics is the superstructure". He also had a slight understanding of what a market economy is. Seeing Zhuge Liang interpreting works such as Guanzi and Shangjun's Book in line with the needs of contemporary times, he truly opened the door to political economy.
Those who only know the power of power are politicians, and those who can govern the country are politicians. politicians who have not only practical abilities, but also have their own ideas are great politicians. These works are linked to Zhuge Liang's achievements in governing Shu, which is enough to prove that Zhuge Liang was not frivolous. Even if he squeezed out the exaggerated water, Zhuge Liang had enough qualifications to occupy a place in the long river of history.
Wei Ba studied eagerly. Except for the morning exercises every morning, he almost never left home. Every night when the lights are on until midnight, he must sit quietly and reflect.
This made Liu Chan happy and a little dissatisfied. He originally wanted to chat with Wei Ba, but Wei Ba was not interested. He just turned to the concept of governing the country with just a few perfunctory words. But when he heard this, his mind hurt and he could not avoid it. After several conversations broke up, Liu Chan weighed the importance and thought it would be better to let Wei Ba study hard and find another way to relax himself.
After the initial fanaticism and reading the textbooks prepared by Zhuge Liang for three days and four nights, Wei Ba slowly calmed down. No matter what, he was an intellectual who had been educated in modern times. Although he had a superficial understanding of politics and economy in addition to professional skills, he had a vision that Zhuge Liang could not reach. He had heard of some different economic models, especially those who had personally experienced the economic tide of reform and opening up, had a personal understanding of the differences between state-owned enterprises and private enterprises, and also had some understanding of the market economy and planned economy. Compared with these concepts of governing the country proposed by Zhuge Liang, his rationality eventually prevailed.
After carefully considering the words and sentences, he wrote the first article of experience. In order to avoid being misleading, after he finished writing, he asked Liu Chan to read it and explained the meaning of the article in detail to him, so as not to know Liu Chan’s question if Zhuge Liang wanted to test him.
Liu Chan patiently listened to Wei Ba's explanation. Although he might not be able to truly understand it, he had tasted a little bit, at least he knew that Wei Ba's experience was more skillful than his own. He was very happy and immediately asked someone to copy it and send it to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Then he pulled Wei Ba out of the study, saying that he wanted to reward Wei Ba and combine work and rest. The two of them drank halfway, and Liu Chan finally revealed his gossip and began to ask the details of Wei Ba and Guan Feng's single-handed challenge.
Wei Ba didn't care much at first, until Liu Chan asked Yuanjin a very professional question, that he realized that Liu Chan was not a simple gossip, but a very serious gossip. He was puzzled: "Your Majesty, why are you suddenly interested in martial arts?"
Liu Chan smiled, his fat body trembled all over his body, and he couldn't take care of answering Wei Ba's questions. Huang Hao smiled with a charming face and said flatteringly: "Wei Shizhong, your Majesty is not idle when you were studying hard. He climbed the palace every day to pay attention to Miss Guan's every move. Wei Shizhong, Miss Guan has been practicing hard every day these days, and I may not be sure when I will come to compete with you again."
"Hehe, are you very happy to compete with Sister Guan?" Liu Chan said with a wink.
Wei Ba then remembered that the Guan family was just outside the palace city, standing on the wall, you could see a corner of the Guan family's martial arts venue. I'm afraid that someone had seen the previous two competitions and it reached Liu Chan's ears. Maybe he had seen it with his own eyes, otherwise he wouldn't have watched it every day.
Wei Ba thought briefly: "Your Majesty, if you want to know the taste of the fish, it is best to taste it yourself. If you want to know whether you are happy with martial arts skills, Your Majesty can also try it with Miss Guan yourself."
Liu Chan's face froze. After a while, he shook his head repeatedly, shaking his head like a rattle.
"Then forget it. I also learned martial arts from General Zhao back then, but every time I practiced with Sister Guan, I was hit hard, and later I gave up. I felt so distressed when I saw her. I hadn't practiced for years, so I dared not fight her."
"Then Your Majesty is destined to be unable to know whether he is happy with martial arts competition."
"This is not necessarily the case. I can find a woman who is not as good as her martial arts." Liu Chan squeezed his eyes and said with a look of nostalgia: "Do you want to try it together? You'll be sure you will like it."
Looking at the Emperor of Shu Han who was dancing in front of him, Wei Ba shivered and finally felt a hint of Zhuge Liang's helplessness.
...
The Prime Minister’s Mansion is not far from the palace.
Zhuge Liang sat in the middle, and there were official documents piled up almost as high as a person on the table. The pen was placed on the table, and the opinions signed on the official document were still very wet, emitting a soft light under the reflection of the light.
Ma Su sat beside him, and Dong Yun knelt in front of him, for half a day.
After several days of entanglement, Dong Yun did not dare to hide it from Zhuge Liang, and took the initiative to explain the conflict that happened that day. Of course, he did not dare to say that Liu Chan left the palace. After all, there was no evidence, and the consequences were too serious, and he could not afford it at all. He just told the story of Hu Benlang being defeated by Liu Yu's entourage, and then by the way, Wei Ba spitting his saliva in his palm. Of course, the focus was Wei Ba's contempt for his ability to lead troops, and it was not related to Liu Chan's possible departure from the palace.
As he expected, Zhuge Liang was not surprised at all. He had known it a long time ago and was waiting for him to apologize.
It is precisely because of this that Dong Yun regrets even more.
When Zhuge Liang didn't speak, Dong Yun dared not get up, and sweated like a slurry. He knew very well that the reason why he could speak in the palace was because he was very obedient in the mansion. Without Zhuge Liang as his backer, he was nothing at all. His father Dong He could still make friends with Zhuge Liang as his friends, but in his generation, he could only lower his head in front of Zhuge Liang.
"Guan Xing, Zhang Shao trained Yulin Lang carefully, right near your Huben Lang office. I believe you have witnessed it with your own eyes, but what do you think?" Zhuge Liang turned his eyes to Dong Yun and asked in a plain tone. However, Dong Yun felt a mountain pressing on his back. He was silent for a while before he said dryly: "Yun is not good at military affairs. Huben Lang's training is beyond Yun's ability. Please arrange someone skilled in military affairs to help me."
"Isn't it good at military?" Zhuge Liang raised his voice unhappily: "Who is born to be familiar with military affairs? Before I was in the south, some people accused me of being unfamiliar with military affairs. Didn't I still fight south and north?"
"Yun is vulgar, how dare you look down on the Prime Minister?"
"Nonsense!" Zhuge Liang was really angry and slapped the table: "It's not impossible, it's not good. Xiang Lang is in the palace, Guan Xing and Zhang Shao are in front of you. You don't understand, why don't you ask them for advice? A gentleman is ashamed of not knowing. Only by knowing shame can he work hard and come from behind. When I first led the army, I was over vain. How old can you stop moving forward?"
When he heard Zhuge Liang shouting loudly, Dong Yun breathed a sigh of relief. "It's Yun who is lazy and will definitely follow the prime minister's teachings and practice hard after he goes back."
"Hmph!" Zhuge Liang waved his hand angrily: "Listen to his words and watch his actions, I will look at you."
"Here." Dong Yun bowed again, got up and retreated.
"Why are young people like this now?" Zhuge Liang shook his head in disappointment: "Youchang, do you think he can do it? He was at a disadvantage from the beginning, how can he fight with Wei Ba in the future?"
Ma Su gently stroked the short beard under his jaw and smiled slightly: "Prime Minister, there are not many people who can fight with Wei Ba, so why should you be demanding from Dong Yun?"
Zhuge Liang frowned, pondered for a while, sighed, and just about to speak, Guo Youzhi hurriedly walked in. Zhuge Liang immediately closed his mouth. Guo Youzhi bowed his hand, bowed, and respectfully handed a copy of the document to Zhuge Liang: "Prime Minister, this is Your Majesty's homework."
"Oh?" Zhuge Liang immediately took it, opened it on the table, glanced quickly, and a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his eyes. He handed the manuscript to Ma Su: "Youchang, look, you have made great progress."
Ma Su quickly read it, but did not laugh, but instead was a little confused. "Prime Minister, do you think he is really a talented person?"
"To be honest, I don't know either." Zhuge Liang thought for a moment, took the manuscript back from Ma Su's hand, read it again, and gently stroked his forehead with his left hand: "Youchang, today you can work hard and deal with these in advance."
Ma Su looked at Zhuge Liang worriedly: "Prime Minister, are you feeling unwell?"
Zhuge Liang was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud again. He shook his head: "No, no." He tapped the manuscript in his hand with his finger: "I want to take some time to comment on this experience. Some of the ideas are very interesting, while others are seemingly wrong. If he does not wake him up in time, it will be difficult to change it in the future."
Ma Su suddenly realized, he glanced at Zhuge Liang and said half-jokingly: "Prime Minister, are you so careful that you are not afraid of raising a tiger in the future and causing trouble for yourself?"
"Otherwise." Zhuge Liang shook his head and looked at Ma Su with a smile: "I haven't seen the harm yet, but the benefits are already in front of me. Youchang, don't you think that you have been more calm and more attentive in your work recently? If Dong Yun, Xiang Chong and others can do things with your heart like you, isn't that a good thing?"
