Chapter 250 A large copy of articles from all over the world
Zhu Yejian is subordinate to the Shaofu, but is independent of the Shaofu.
In fact, there are two official offices under the Shaofu that are very special in nature. One is the official office of Captain Shuiheng, which supervises the manufacture of boats and equipment; the other is the official office of Captain Zhuye, which supervises the manufacture of weapons, armor, and various iron tools.
The Shuiheng Commandery is now in name only and is concurrently held by the Shaofu Liu Ye. However, the Zhuye Commandery is indeed a real yamen. On the one hand, it is subordinate to the Shaofu, and on the other hand, it is under the jurisdiction of the Sikong Prefecture.
However, in general, the Zhuye Mansion is still under the rule of the Shaofu. At least in name, it must obey the supervision of the Shaofu Liu Ye.
Due to the nature of the work, Zhuye Mansion did not set up an official office in the imperial city, but set up a separate office in Xilixu, Xudu. It is adjacent to the Xiuchun Gate of Xudu, covering an area of 0.6 square meters, about 40,000 square meters. The door is very high, with two sides.
Each has a stone sculpture of an ancient gold-swallowing beast.
Walking inside, all matters of Zhuye Mansion are handled in the vestibule.
There are three entrances and three exits, with a nave in the center and statues of great craftsmen such as Gongshu Ban and Ou Yezi on the facade.
Liu Ye usually doesn't manage the various supervisors very much, and after the supervisors were upgraded to the government, he came less often. But today, Liu Ye is here to find some information. He is also a master craftsman of the agency, some information about the agency news
, are usually hidden in the library of Zhuye Mansion. Therefore, even people like Liu Ye who have a huge collection of books at home need to go to Zhuye Mansion when looking for professional information.
The work of Zhuye Mansion is very complicated.
The smelting needs of the whole country, as well as all kinds of equipment and equipment, must be reported to the various smelting governments and then distributed.
The total number of officials and handymen here is almost a hundred, which can be regarded as a very specific functional department. When Liu Ye came to Zhuye Mansion, the officials were busy. Cao Cao gave the order and ordered Zhuye Mansion to speed up the production of weapons.
, it is necessary to make sure that the troops and horses in Chenjun, Yingchuan, including Chenliu, in Yuzhou, can be replaced before the end of the year. At the same time, Zhuye Mansion is also responsible for supervising the manufacture of Cao Gongli and other agricultural tools. Haixi will be on the list in the first month
, requesting three thousand Cao Gongli... These matters must also be supervised by Zhuye Mansion.
In short, Zhuye Mansion has no major events but small ones all the time.
Although more than a hundred people were busy, they were organized and without any chaos.
"What's going on with these signs?"
Liu Ye pointed to the signs hanging at the door of each room and couldn't help but asked curiously.
"Go back to Mr. Liu's Mansion. This was built by Captain Cao, so that people who come to deliver news and submit official documents can find the person they belong to without asking."
Liu Ye nodded slightly and asked the accompanying official: "Is everything in the mansion normal?"
"everything is normal."
After the official finished speaking, he suddenly burst into laughter out of recognition.
"What are you laughing at?"
"It's just, it's just... Captain Cao seems to have developed an additional interest recently... Also, we discovered that Captain Cao is actually literate."
"oh?"
"Captain Cao has been acting like a demon recently. He keeps mumbling all day long, and he doesn't know what he's talking about... about the dark and yellow world, the vastness of the universe... Anyway, it's quite interesting. Everyone is guessing that Captain Cao is reading this.
What kind of book, and they are all very curious about it."
"I am also very curious."
When Liu Ye heard this, he couldn't help but smile.
He was not very familiar with Cao Ji.
However, because Deng Ji rejected Liang Xi whom he recommended, Liu Ye felt a little uncomfortable. As a result, Cao Ji was also implicated and was not well received by Liu Ye. Fortunately, Cao Ji had been working in Xingyang before.
, so Liu Ye couldn't find any trouble with him. Now that Cao Ji is back, and Deng Ji has indeed made outstanding political achievements in Haixi, Liu Ye's little resentment has disappeared.
"What is Captain Cao doing now?"
"It seems like I'm studying in the public room at the back..."
"Take me over there and have a look."
Liu Ye suddenly became interested and asked the official to take him to see Cao Ji.
The group of people walked through the path and came to the public room in the backyard. The place where Cao Ji worked was actually an independent courtyard with two rows of wing rooms on the facade. One side was used to receive guests, and the other side was for Cao Ji to rest. The door of the public room was open
Now, Cao Ji is not in the room.
The servant said that Cao Ji had just left and would be back soon.
Liu Ye thought to himself: In any case, this Cao Junshi is also an official under my rule. I have not seen him since he took office. Anyway, there is nothing to do today, so I will simply wait and meet him. They all say Cao's family.
Third Captain, I would like to see him...
Thinking of this, Liu Ye waved his hand to signal the officials to leave.
Standing in this public room, he looked around and nodded slightly.
Cao Ji's public house, also known as the office, is about more than 200 square meters. There are no arty appliances, just a desk and a few couches. The bookshelves are not all books, there are drawings, and
Crude models of various utensils.
I think it was the result of Cao Ji's daily research.
The room is large and simple.
Outside the window, there is a lush bamboo forest, which makes people feel comfortable.
The wind blew in, making him feel very comfortable. Liu Ye sat down on the couch, glanced at it, and saw a pamphlet on the desk.
About ten sheets, bound with silk thread.
Letter: 800 characters.
There is also a line of small words next to it: If you hear the Tao in the morning, you may die in the evening. You should not let down the expectations of a beautiful child.
What my precious son hopes for, I, as a father, will never let my precious son down.
After Liu Ye saw it, he couldn't help but laugh.
He stretched out his hand and picked up the booklet. He opened the title page and saw on the first page that it read: My father doesn't work hard, and my son is very sad. If you work hard every day, will there ever be a day of regret?
The most interesting thing is that every two lines, there is a comic sketch.
One is a young man with tears streaming down his face; the other is a black-bearded man with a wide grin.
This is a typical comic drawing method of later generations. The picture is extremely cartoony, but it is easy to see at a glance. After Liu Ye read it, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
He shook his head repeatedly and thought to himself: These Cao father and son are indeed interesting people.
However, if you hear the truth in the morning, you will die in the evening... Well said, well said!
Liu Ye turned over a page and saw the words: The sky and the earth are dark and yellow, the universe is vast, the sun and the moon are waxing, and the stars and constellations are arranged. Cold comes and summer goes, autumn harvests and winter hides, leaps and bounds become a year old, and the law LV adjusts the sun.
At first, Liu Ye didn't pay much attention to it. He just kept reading with the idea of killing time.
Every eight characters are in a column and four characters are in a group.
There are eight columns per page, with a total of sixty-four characters. Including the cover, title page and bottom, there are sixteen pages in total, with about eight hundred characters.
Liu Ye gradually discovered that after reading all the way, not a single word among the 800 words was repeated.
The eight hundred characters combined together cover astronomy and geography, military history, fishery and farming, and ancient allusions. The more Liu Ye read, the more surprised he became. The more he read, the more incredible he felt. Eight hundred square characters were combined into an unprecedented masterpiece.
The article is easy to understand, yet profound.
It can be seen that the person who wrote these 800 words took into account Cao Ji's low cultural level and did it deliberately.
Thinking of the two cartoons on the title page and the weird five-character quatrain, Liu Ye immediately guessed who wrote it.
"Ah, I'm a lower-ranking official, Cao Ji. I didn't know that Liu Shaofu was coming, and I didn't come far to greet you. I hope you'll forgive me."
At this moment, Cao Ji came in from outside.
Liu Ye shivered with excitement and raised his head to look at Cao Ji.
I saw Cao Ji, eight feet tall and burly. Dressed in a dark blue gown, he showed a touch of elegance despite his burliness.
Liu Ye's eyes suddenly became particularly soft.
At this time, Cao Ji became very cute in his eyes.
Especially Cao Ji's beard reminded him immediately of the grinning portrait in the comics, and he couldn't help but laugh.
"Juan Shi, don't be too polite. I occasionally passed by you today. What's your fault?"
As he said this, Liu Ye actually stood up, walked over and took hold of Cao Ji's arm.
This also made Cao Ji feel flattered. Liu Ye's followers were all dumbfounded. Who didn't know that this Liu Ye and Liu Ziyang were extremely arrogant people. Even if they were together with celebrities like Kong Rong
, and rarely so kind.
how……
"Juan Shi, are you still used to this in Zhuye Mansion?"
Cao Ji scratched his head and smiled honestly, "I'm not used to it. I've been in the workshop for a long time, and I'm used to hearing the sound of blacksmithing. It suddenly became so quiet... Haha, but it doesn't matter. It will get better after a while."
It's no wonder that a person who has been working at the grassroots level for many years always feels uncomfortable sitting in an office.
Liu Yehun didn't care and chatted with Cao Jyou for a while. Suddenly the conversation changed and he shook the pamphlet in his hand.
"Juan Shi, who wrote this?"
Cao Ji was startled and immediately replied: "It's my Ah Fu...oh, written by Cavalry Captain Cao Peng. Haha, he wants me to read and write, but I'm so old, I'm not used to it. Ah Fu, oh,
Quanzi thought hard all night and came up with this 800-character essay. He also asked his staff, Mr. Kan Ze, to teach me. Mr. Kan said that Quanzi's 800-character essay is a strange text and may not have been published in 500 years.
.
I don't understand it, but I think it's catchy and easy to remember.
I memorize twenty words every day, and then go home and write them down dozens of times, and I gain a lot of knowledge..."
"It only appeared once in five hundred years. Since Emperor Gaozu prospered the Han Dynasty, I am afraid that even Sima Xiangru and Dongfang Shuo may not be able to write such articles."
Liu Ye said sternly: "Juan Shi, how can I have such good writing to myself?
I want to borrow it back home to copy it, is that possible?"
Cao Ji nodded ignorantly and said: "What's wrong with this, Ah Fu, Quanzi wrote three volumes for Xiaguan, one is in his hand and the other is in Mr. Kanze's hand. The young man just takes it, I'll go home
Then I asked Quanzi to copy a book for me, why should I be so polite?"
He really didn't understand the meaning contained in these eight hundred words.
Liu Ye let out a long breath and looked at Cao Ji with complicated eyes, feeling quite envious in his heart.
How could such a good son be the son of such a fool? However, with such a good son, this guy's future will be bright.
Liu Ye was not clear about the fact that Cao Ji and Cao Cao were from the same clan.
At first, Cao Ji only accidentally mentioned this matter to Xun Yu and Guo Jia. Later, Cao Nan mentioned it to Mrs. Wu. After that, Cao Cao, Cao Zhen, Cao Pi and Xia Houzhen knew about it. After Cao Ji returned to Xudu
, Cao Cao didn’t have time to talk to him. In addition, the matter of returning to the clan and recognizing the ancestors does not mean returning to the clan and recognizing the ancestors. A lot of things need to be done to conduct research...
The reason why Liu Bei was able to recognize his ancestors and become a legitimate clan member of the Han Dynasty was because of the words of the Han Emperor.
The clan was weak and needed strong people. Liu Xie himself also wanted the clan to become stronger, so he followed the trend.
But for a clan, sometimes it's more complicated than that of the royal family.
Cao Peng didn't tell Cao Ji, but just asked him to read and write to prepare for the future.
In order to improve Cao Ji's interest in learning, Cao Peng took great pains. Fortunately, his father in his previous life was an ancient Chinese scholar. Cao Peng's enlightenment books in his previous life were The Thousand-Character Classic, Hundred Family Surnames, The Three-Character Classic, and The Disciples
Regulations. However, in comparison, the Three-Character Classic and the Disciples Regulations are a bit far away from this era, so many of the contents are not suitable. The Thousand-Character Classic is different. It was written during the period of Emperor Wu of Liang in the Southern Dynasties. The author was Zhou Xingsi, the minister of Sanqi, Yuanwai.
The time when the calligraphy was written was only three hundred years ago. Whether it is the use of straight or oblique characters or the format of the calligraphy, it is in line with the habits of the late Eastern Han Dynasty. But even so, Cao Peng also put in a lot of effort.
First, he had to write down all the thousand-character essays silently.
Then we should erase the content that does not conform to the background of this era...
After going back and forth, he crossed out 200 words, which became the current 800-character text.
As soon as the 800-character text came out, both Kan Ze and Huang Yueying were shocked. Huang Yueying immediately copied a copy and kept it by his side for study. On weekdays, he can also use this 800-character text to explain to Zhang and Cao Nan.
On the one hand, it can enhance the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and on the other hand, it can also strengthen the academic cultivation of Zhang's mother and daughter. After all, this 800-character text was written by Cao Peng. As Cao Peng's mother and sister, how can she be illiterate?
Not only Zhang and Cao Nan can understand it half-heartedly, but Bu Luan and Guo Huan also need to read it thoroughly and memorize it backwards and forwards.
This is the foundation for the rise of a family...
In the future, it can even become the inheritance of the Cao family.
When a family has something that can be passed down (the inheritance here is not a material inheritance, but a spiritual and cultural inheritance), it also has the capital to become a family. Huang Yueying comes from a family, so she naturally understands
very clear.
Coupled with Cao Peng's unique insights in "On", it also has the significance of inheritance.
Although he only wrote one piece of "Xueer", in Huang Yueying's view, if Cao Peng could really comment on "The Analects", he would be enough to become a great scholar.
Cao Ji didn't understand the painstaking efforts of Cao Peng and Huang Yueying.
However, Cao Ji, who was burdened with Aier's ardent expectations, also made up his mind not to disappoint Cao Peng.
However, Cao Ji didn't know what kind of changes this 800-character article would bring to him.
When facing Liu Ye, he still showed a trace of fear out of instinct, but he had made great progress compared to before.
Liu Ye got this volume of "Eight Hundred Character Essay" and had no intention of staying there anymore.
After chatting with Cao Jijian for a while, he said goodbye and left.
Carrying the "Eight Hundred Character Essay" in his arms, Liu Ye hurriedly walked out of Zhuye Mansion. He boarded the carriage and said to the driver: "Let's go to Sikong Mansion immediately."
