The previous position was narrow and low, so be cautious. Now he has a hundred miles of territory, with strong soldiers and strong horses. Liu Bei wanted to meet the mysterious old Xia for a while.

Then he said to Su Bo: Follow me to see Mr. Xia tomorrow.

Su Bo nodded slightly: Yes.

The white-skinned elite soldiers must be led by them, and the traitor who can fly over the eaves and walls, so they have long controlled the third uncle's blacksmith shop.

The Blacksmith shop is located downstream of Qingxi, southeastern. Before the mouth of Baihu Lake, it is adjacent to the dock. This area is a dense place for Lousang Workshop. The water mill and water pressure are on the opposite side of the left and right sides. Thanks to the well-connected underground pipeline network. High-hardness pottery pipes forged with copper and iron ore powder are sprinkled into the workshop's sewage after sedimentation tanks are settled into ditches and will not defile Qingxi Baihu. The sewage at this time is much cleaner than the chemical sewage in later generations. This is also the reason why Liu Bei did not want to build a paper workshop. Papermaking pollution is also very large.

Mr. Xia was the foreman. The craftsmen of the third uncle's blacksmith shop were all led by him.

Liu Bei walked into the blacksmith shop and saw Mr. Xia observing the heat in front of the furnace. How to judge the temperature of the flame with his naked eyes is a secret that is not passed down by good craftsmen. Liu Bei didn't need to know.

Su Bo was about to call him, but was stopped by Liu Bei.

After a long time, when Mr. Xia got up, Liu Bei stepped forward to salute: He had met Mr. Xia.

Mr. Xia also replied: The young master wants to see me, so he can just send someone to call me. Why do you need to come in person?

Liu Bei smiled and said: Old Gao Shi, Xia, should come here in person.

Mr. Xia nodded and asked Liu Bei to speak in the back hall.

The blacksmith shop was built by the water, and the backyard was the front hall. Liu Bei was a guest seat, and Mr. Xia took the east seat.

After sending out idle people, Liu Bei asked: How dare you ask about Xia Laogao's name?

Old Xia sighed: I am Xia Fu.

Xia Fu, whose courtesy name was Zizhi, was from Chenliu County. He was a famous scholar in the world. He was knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and was not a powerful man, and was hated by the nobles. He did not seek refuge in the court and lived in seclusion without office. He enjoyed a high reputation among the scholars and officials and ranked one of the "Eight Gu".

When he was young, the scholars were energetic and had a straightforward manner. The Gao family and the Cai family in the same county were all rich. The county people were afraid of them and served them carefully everywhere. Only Xia Fu lived with Gao and Cai, but never contacted them, so he was hated by the two families. In the early years of Emperor Huan of Han, he was recommended for bluntly and should not be conquered. Although Xia Fu did not make friends with eunuchs, he was afraid of the eunuchs because of his great reputation. He was falsely flattered by eunuchs and was arrested by eunuchs with Fan Pang, Zhang Jian and others. The court issued an edict to the prefectures and counties and was arrested as party leaders.

Xia Fu, Zhang Jian and others fled. Wherever they passed, everyone who had come into contact with them was arrested and questioned. The people involved were spread all over the world. Xia Fu paused and sighed: "The sin was done by himself, which caused good people to be killed in vain. One person escaped to death, and the disaster caused thousands of families. What are you doing when you are alive?" So he cut off his beard, changed his appearance, ran to Lin Lushan to hide his name, and was a servant of the smelter. He dealt with chimney smoke and charcoal all day long, and his appearance was ruined. No one could recognize it in two or three years.

My younger brother Xia Jing took a car to chase the city of Nieyang. When I met Xia Fu, I couldn't recognize it. When I heard the voice, I realized that the old iron smelting in front of me was Xia Fu. So I knelt down to Xia Fu, but Xia Fu avoided it and did not talk to him. Xia Jing chased me and fell asleep with Xia Fu. That night, Xia Fu quietly woke up Xia Jing: "I was framed by eunuchs because I was upholding the right path and hated evil. Now I just want to live a life. Why did I come to me with silk? This is a disaster!" I left at dawn.

I didn't want to come to me, Lou Sang.

Liu Bei's solemn greeted again: I forgave Liu Bei's eyes, but I didn't know it was Mr. Xia!

Xia Fu replied: I am hiding my name, but I don’t want to be recognized. How can I blame the young master? To thank me, it is also the kindness of the young master who brought it in. That day I left without saying goodbye to my brother. As soon as the Liu clan came to Nanyang to recruit smelting workers. I applied for the recruitment and arrived at Lousang with the craftsmen.

I see.

Since he was one of the "Eight Guests", Liu Bei said bluntly: Is Mr. Xia a disciple of the Mo Sect?

Xia Fu nodded and said: Yes. When the Party and the Corruption disaster occurred, I then broke up the disaster in Linwu Mountain (the name of the mountain) and became a domestic servant. During this period, I became a man of the Imperial Household.

It turned out that he joined the Mo Sect in Nanyang. Liu Bei's heart moved, could it be that Nanyang was where the Mo Sect was located?

Think about it, that's true. Isn't Du Shi, who invented the water drainage, the prefect of Nanyang? The great inventor Zhang Heng is also from Nanyang!

Nanyang is a good craftsman. In other words, the Momen had already emerged in secret in Nanyang.

He looked up again and saw Xia Fu staring at him. Liu Bei said: How dare you ask Mr. Xia, this is just a coincidence?

Xia Fu nodded first and shook his head: This was indeed the case before. Now that he had seen the methods of Shao Junhou, he had other ideas. Tower cranes, ladders, boats, wheel boats. Even the master of the despicable craftsmanship was also amazed. I wonder where the method of Shao Junhou's creation came from?

Liu Bei then replied: It was from the book that we saw things created by our ancestors, and learned from one example and used the past for the present.

Xia Fu nodded happily: It is a good thing for the present. The Mo family came from various schools of thought. After Mozi's death, the Mo family was divided into three branches, called the "Three Mo schools". There were the ink of Xiangli, the ink of Dengling, and the ink of Xiangfu family. Later, the Qin Dynasty was unified, and the two Han dynasties continued. The three schools of Mo family gradually merged into two branches. One was Ming and the other was scattered in the court and the other was scattered in the martial arts world. Those who were Ming and Yinzong were called "Shimo". Those who were obsessed with craftsmanship and called "Shimo". Those who were like Zhang Heng and Du poems were all "Shimo". And we were all "Shimo" in the Yin Sect. Whether it was Ming or Yin Sect, Mo people, Mo Bian, Mo Heroes.

Liu Bei understood: In this way, Momen Yin Sect is not in the court?

Xia Fu paused: That's right. We gathered together with Shaojunhou and Hou's fief, not because we wanted to become an official in Shaojunhou, but because we were obsessed with the craftsmanship.

Liu Bei nodded: That's great.

Xia Fu asked again: Can Shaojun take us in?

Liu Bei pointed to the sky as a vow: If everything is as Xia Gong said, the disciples of the Yin Sect are all obsessed with craftsmanship. They do not disperse the Mohist theory (the Mohist theory), do not compete for the world. They do not have ulterior motives and do other things. They are beneficial to the people and respect and love their neighbors. Liu Bei will protect the whole story.

Xia Fu then thanked her solemnly and said, "Young Master."

Seeing Su Bo, who had always called him "Young Master", he was also renamed "Young Master". Only then did Liu Bei realize that Su Bo was also a Mohist.

Liu Bei sighed and said with a smile: How painful is Su Bo hiding me?

Su Bo also worshipped: Everyone in the disciples knows that the young master is benevolent and righteous. However, it is related to life and death, so you must be careful and repetitive. Please forgive me.

Liu Bei stayed and helped him up.

Then he took Xia Fu to the school hall and met his mentor and others' secret room.

I heard that it was Xia Fu, the teacher and great scholars all burst into tears. I didn’t expect that the handsome young man who was once a scholar was now exhausted and could not bear to look at him.

The Party and the Fraud are not resolved now.

This spring, the imperial court held a ceremony for praying for rain (named: Dayun).

In May of the leap month, Cao Luan, the prefect of Yongchang County, wrote a letter saying: "Some of the so-called party members are old and noble, and some are handsome and talented among the literati. They should assist the royal family and participate in the major decisions of the court at your Majesty's side. However, they were imprisoned for a long time, not allowed to be an official, or even expelled to muddy areas, and were humiliated. If they commit serious crimes of treason and rebellion, they can be forgiven by Your Majesty, what are the crimes of party members? They cannot be forgiven? The reason why disasters in the world occur frequently, floods and droughts come one after another is all because of this. Your Majesty should give grace to conform to God's will."

After reading the memorial, Emperor Ling was furious. He immediately issued an edict, ordering Sili and Yizhou government to arrest Cao Luan, take him to Luoyang, Kyoto in prison, and tortured him to death. He also ordered the officials of various prefectures and counties to re-invest the party members' students and disciples, old subordinates, fathers, sons, and brothers, who were all officials, were dismissed and imprisoned, and were not allowed to become officials again. The disaster of party members and imprisonment expanded to include relatives within the five sermons in the party family.

The second party and fining reappeared. At this time, Xia Fu was inconvenient to announce his real name to the public.

So, under the witness of his mentors, Darui and Su Bo, Liu Bei worshipped Xia Fu as his family order.

The family order was a royal family official in the Han Dynasty, in charge of family affairs, and the vassal states also established this position.

"Book of the Later Han Dynasty: Biography of Xianbei": "The Marquis of Tsulu did not listen, so he abandoned him. His wife whispered to the family order to adopt him, and his name was Tan Shihuai." "Biography of the Three Kingdoms·Wei Zhi·Dong Zhuo": "Zhuo moved to the prime minister and was granted the title of Marquis of Ji, and praised him for his name but did not mention him. He went to the palace with his sword and shoes. He also named Zhuo's mother as the king of Chiyang, and established the family order and the chief."

This is what I meant by this position.
