"Yeah...originally, I named him Zuoyao. However, one time he went into the water with his friends and almost died. He hired an alchemist. The man looked at his face and said it was him. There was a problem with his name, so he changed his name to Shou..." said an old friend from Yizhou helplessly. Qiao Zhou also knew the customs of Yizhou and said that Liangzhou people are fond of ghosts and gods. In fact, Yizhou people Not inferior at all, there are still people in Yizhou worshiping Wen Renggong!
Qiao Zhou also had a lot of respect for ghosts and gods. He was Zhong Changtong's mortal enemy in the court. He brought his old friend into the study and ate some food. Qiao Zhou chatted with him about things in his hometown. , "Changping? How about everyone in my hometown? Are you okay?"
"Mr. Li and Mr. Wang passed away... The others are all fine. You haven't been home for a long time, and your old friend misses you very much..."
"Oh, I couldn't see them one last time... How are your old friends? Are you doing well?"
"What a great blessing to the emperor. The new county magistrates are all very good young people. They built a few more canals in our area... and sent some cattle. Life has improved a lot. I have built three houses and two yards in my hometown, and I am just waiting for Da Lang and Er Lang to grow up..." The old friend was probably too excited to see Qiao Zhou and said happily. changes in my hometown.
Qiao Zhou also listened attentively, nodding his head from time to time, and chatting very happily. As they were chatting, Qiao Zhou turned around and saw that he was stunned. Xiao Chen Shou, who was only six years old, was very excited at the moment. Sitting aside seriously, listening to the conversation between the two of them, as if they were thinking about something. This look made Qiao Zhou very surprised. How could ordinary children have such certainty, and be able to listen to their elders' narrations without moving. Well, this kid...
"How old are you this year?" Qiao Zhou suddenly asked with a smile.
Chen Shou was stunned for a moment, then opened his eyes and replied: "I am six years old..." Hearing his answer, Qiao Zhou couldn't help but laugh, looked at his old friend aside and said: "You kid, It's extraordinary, you will definitely have great achievements in the future!" The old friend smiled sheepishly, and then said: "I came here this time just to trouble you about his affairs..."
"Oh? Just say it."
"This child loves to study. I also want him to make progress, so I want to send him to Luo County to study... But the people from Luo County Official School said that unless he settles in Luo County, he cannot study in Luo County. ....”
"I understand..." Qiao Zhou nodded. There were many people like my old friend. They tried every means to send their children to Luoxian County to study. Just because the official schools in Luoxian County were excellent, they were admitted to the Imperial College. The probability is also the highest, but... Qiao Zhou looked at Chen Shou and asked: "Tell me, do you want to stay in Luo County to study?"
"I think."
"Why didn't you go out to play just now, but why did you stay and listen to my conversation with your father?"
"I like to listen to other people's words, and I like to see more things..." Chen Shou said seriously.
"Hahaha, okay, your interest is good, very good, Changping! Just leave this matter to me. I still have some connections. I guarantee that this kid can enter the official school!!" Qiao Zhou said with a smile. , his old friend was also happy when he heard it, and hurriedly placed the gift he had prepared in front of Qiao Zhou. Qiao Zhou looked a little unhappy, "What are you doing? I just see that this kid is smart, you and I As a native, how can you do this??"
"They are all local specialties. If you just take them, it's not considered corruption..."
"You'd better take it back..."
"Take it, take it, just leave it here."
"Oh...that's...ok, then I'll stay."
Qiao Zhou was smiling and chatting politely with his old friend, but he didn't know that his lifelong reputation was destroyed by him personally today. A young child was sitting next to them, his eyes were bright and serious.
Looking at their actions, oh, by the way, he just said something less, he not only likes to observe, he also likes to record.
"Chronicles of the Great Han Dynasty. Biographies of Officials. Biography of Qiao Zhou: In the first year of Tianji, a countryman visited Zhou and bribed him with a large sum of money. Zhou resigned several times and accepted it, so he responded to his request."
With the support of the great businessman Liu Chan, the preparations for the so-called grand ceremony were carried out very quickly. Liu Chan had a lot of money in his hands. He had done a lot in these years. There were many people in Luoyang who were richer than him.
There were only a few merchants, so Liu Chan recruited a few more colleagues, and within a few months, he built a huge school grounds outside Luo County, where there was an observation deck belonging to the emperor.
This observation deck is five or six feet high, with various carvings and decorations. It is really luxurious. With this scale and such decoration, except for the emperor, no one else would dare to sit here again. Apart from the observation deck,
In addition, seats that can accommodate tens of thousands of people were set up around it, and various areas were divided. It cost more than 6 million yuan and nearly 100,000 manpower. In a short period of time, Liu Chan built it for the emperor.
A huge school grounds.
This is even better than what Liu Yi asked for. Many people are secretly laughing at Liu Chan and despising these merchants. No matter how much money they make, what's the use. Anyway, the emperor gives an order and still loses everything. But Liu Chan is not like that.
He thought that he saw huge benefits from this school ground. He wanted to build this school ground to be very luxurious and the more people it could accommodate, the better. In this way, the benefits to him would be extremely huge.
With this in mind, it was not until nearly August that the school grounds were delayed in completion.
During this period, Liu Chan withstood countless pressures. In order to build this school ground, he really had to sacrifice all his family property. He even borrowed money from everywhere. Even the Sun family lent him a lot.
Every time the emperor asked, the school grounds were under construction. Although it was not easy for Liu Qu to lose his temper with Liu Yi, it was always like this. Liu Qu's expression became more and more unkind, and Liu Yi was also anxious. Finally, after Liu Yi held the ceremony,
After a month's delay, the school ground was finally built.
After hearing the good news, Liu Yi hurriedly went to the palace to inform the emperor of the good news.
"It's built?? It's finally built!!" Liu Qu finally no longer looked unhappy, "I'm going to take a look. It's not that I don't believe my uncle, but I want to see how the construction is going..."
, Liu Yi originally didn’t want to take Liu Qu there, but he couldn’t stand Liu Qu’s pleading. This boy, who usually looked domineering, was still a child who had not grown up, so Liu Yi had no choice but to take him with him.
Watch him.
When he arrived at the school grounds by car, Liu Qu was shocked.
This is a school ground?? This is almost comparable to a small county town! In addition to the lack of city walls, this scale is so large that even the Southern Military Academy is not so large. Look at the high observation deck, Liu Qu
Almost speechless, Liu Yi stood aside, surrounded by embroidered messengers, watching Liu Qu ascend to the observation deck, then come down to sit on those chairs, and touch the ground, like a child
, Liu Yi shook his head helplessly.
At this moment, Liu Chan also arrived. However, as soon as he approached, he was directly stopped by the embroidered messengers. Liu Yi hurriedly stepped forward and let him in. Liu Chan greeted Liu Yi with a smile and asked some confused questions.
"What is going on?" Liu Yi pointed to the emperor in the distance and said, "Your Majesty has come to see this school in person..." Liu Chan was shocked and said hurriedly: "Oh, if I had known I would
Just clean up and come back..."
While the two were talking, the emperor noticed what was going on here and walked over calmly. As soon as he came over, Liu Chan bowed to him and said: "Liu Chan, a common man, pays homage to your majesty!", Liu Chan
Qu was stunned, looked at Liu Chan in front of him strangely, and asked: "Are you Liu Chan??"
"The grassroots people are exactly..."
"Ahem..." Liu Yi coughed hurriedly, and Liu Qu hurriedly said: "So it's my uncle...you were responsible for building this school ground? Hey, it was built so well. At that time, Duke Ling
Tell me, when my uncle came to build this school ground, in my heart, I actually had no hope for the ceremony... Well, I no longer worried about whether the ceremony could be completed. With my uncle here, of course it can be completed.
of!"
Liu Chan looked at the Emperor in confusion. Why did he always feel that there was something in His Majesty's words?
Sure enough, next, Liu Qu took Liu Chan and started chatting cordially, but the conversation was not about the school grounds, "Uncle Liu, what do you think of Zhuge Linggong?"
"Zhuge Linggong?? He is a generation of talents..."
"Then what do you think of Deng Pushe?"
"The common people have never seen him at all..."
The two chatted for a long time, and Liu Qu reluctantly let Liu Chan leave. Liu Yi stood aside and said angrily: "Your Majesty, he is also a member of the clan, and his seniority is higher than your Majesty. Your Majesty should not
How rude!" Liu Qu smiled and said: "I know, I know, uncle, don't be angry. Next time, I won't do this again..."
Ever since, Liu Yi informed the world about holding the grand ceremony. Not only the military, but also all walks of life can participate, and the temple will not interfere in any way. As long as you feel that you are doing well in this industry, you can
Come and participate! And the winners will be rewarded heavily. Even participants can also get some rewards. When Di Bao spread the news as quickly as possible, countless people immediately flocked to Luo County.
The roads in the Sili area were the first to collapse. I am afraid that the temple ministers did not expect that all the roads in the Sili area, the most developed area, would one day be like this. People from all over the country were blocked on the roads and could not pass.
, which triggered a series of problems, including fights, even collisions, and a series of deaths on the road. All of this made Zhuge Liang, who was sitting in the Hall of Houde, feel alert.
Immediately, Zhuge Liang asked to send soldiers to maintain order on various roads, and the emperor agreed, which made the road conditions in the Sili area improve.
And Zhuge Liang finally realized that just constantly building chi roads did not seem to be of any help to the roads. As the Han Dynasty became more powerful, there were more and more cars and horses, and the roads were often blocked due to crowding. This time, it was
The best proof is that the facts proved that the Han Temple must come up with some methods to solve the road problem of the Han Dynasty. Zhuge Liang quickly summoned Zhu Pu She and began to discuss the road problem.
