1.83 The visit of the minister

Guo Zhi, who was obsessed with brewing wine, bought a clan house and settled in Lousang. He was preparing to bring his family to live with him, but he seemed not going to return to Nanyang.

That's right. Only by putting yourself in your shoes can you know the convenience of Lou Sang. Not to mention anything else, Tangchi and public toilet, these two items are far beyond those of the prefectures and counties in various places, and even among the Luoyang ban, there is no one above that.

In the afternoon of that day, a large ox cart drove slowly into Lousang by the official road in the west.

Unable to be troubled all the way, and there was no one to ask, so he entered the city without any obstacles. As soon as he stopped in front of the winery, a servant came, invited him to get out of the cart, and led the ox cart to the backyard. The passengers on the ox cart came smelling the fragrance. As soon as he stood in front of the winery, he saw a woodcutter sitting in front of the porch, taking off his straw sandals, stretching his feet into the sewer of the corridor, washing his feet in the stream, standing up barefoot, changing into a pair of communal wooden clogs, and entering the winery.

Seeing that the corridor was lined with wooden clogs for people to change, the visitor couldn't help but nod.

I took the bus all the way, and the shoes were free of mud. The visitors still followed the customs. They took off their shoes and socks, sat in the corridor, washed their feet and put on their clogs, and walked into the winery.

The first floor is full of beds. There are short rows of rows. The two rows are separated by screens. The drinkers sit in pairs and share a table. The ginger (gōng), goblet (gū), pots and cups are all made of celadon. In addition to drinking, there are also cakes, snacks, various side dishes for wine, and refreshing fish sashimi (sashimi). The drinkers either talk or laugh, and the atmosphere is warm.

The second floor is a elegant seat. Two high-backs sit opposite the couch. It forms an elegant space with the low table placed in the middle. There are lattice panes in front and back, which are transparent and bright and can ensure privacy. The elegant seat can be seated with four people. Hanlu, if more than three people drink for no reason, they will be fined four taels. Four people drink for drinking must have a reason. Of course, it is too simple to find a legitimate reason in Lou Sang. Moving in house, hiring, getting married, making friends... don't take too much. Besides, Shaojunhou has always been lenient to others, and his subordinates will never punish others for drinking.

The third floor is a private room. The huge hall is divided into two rows of exquisite and gorgeous private rooms in the north and south. The room has windows in front and back, a singing and dancing stage in the middle, and a main seat is set on the top, and several food tables are placed on the left and right. The food table is three feet long, two feet wide, and nine inches high. There are water blocking lines, black painted with black paint, and red painted geometric laces; four groups of red paint on the table, one group of black paint, and red painted nebula patterns on the black paint surface. The geometric patterns are painted with gold powder on the red surface; the nebula patterns are painted with gold powder and black paint. The base of the table is black painted with vermilion lacquer in the middle, and the "Lou Sang" is engraved with "hoof-shaped feet" on the bottom.

It is said that Lou Sang's birthday banquet and wedding banquet are mostly here.

The visitor walked along the middle corridor to a private room called "Changshui". He opened the door and looked at it, and his old friend was there.

Today is the teacher Lu Zhi’s banquet. How dare Liu Bei be negligent? He ordered his clan members to serve him well.

"Brother Zizhen!" The teacher hurriedly stood up to greet him.

"Zi Gan brother." Cui Qi walked into the room with a smile. The visitor was the former Shangshu who was exempted from the party's disaster. If it weren't for Liu Bei's use of magnetic pads to relieve his cold and paralysis, he would have passed away last year. It was late summer and the heat had not yet subsided. Cui Qi was exhausted all the way and rushed to Lou Sang just to persuade his friends.

"I don't know why my brother came from?" Lu Zhi, who was sitting in the east seat, had actually guessed.

"Brother Yu is here to be a lobbyist." Cui Qi sat in the west.

Lu Zhi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Is it a contract for the prefectures and counties?"

"That's right." Cui Shi wanted to persuade Lu Zhi to become an official. However, Lu Zhi, who was determined to educate Liu Bei into a talent, had no intention of this.

"Brother, I am the only one who is in office, and the honor and disgrace are the country." Lu Zhi compared Liu Bei to Guangwu, and his heart can be seen.

Cui Qi nodded: "My brother thought, how can I not know? However, cranes sing in Jiugao, and the sound of the sound is heard in the sky. There is a bird in the south of Chu. If it does not sing for three years, it will be amazing. If it does not fly for three years, it will soar into the sky. People's minds are in chaos, and thieves will rise. The heavens are changing. If Guangwu does not raise troops and destroy all the heroes, how can the Han Dynasty revive today?"

Lu Zhi was speechless.

Cui Shi said again: "Mencius said: There is a way in the world, and sacrifice yourself for the Tao; there is no way in the world, and sacrifice yourself for the body. What is the teacher? It is to prove the Tao with your body."

Lu Zhi bowed and said, "I know everything."

Both of them were great scholars in the world, and they were all the time. Lu Zhi thought about everything and then let it go. The wine and food were just like the evening breeze and rice waves outside the window, and the happiness of life was nothing more than this.

"No wonder my good brother is happy to be homeless. In such a fairyland on earth, I am afraid that my foolish brother doesn't want to return home." The 'I'm happy to be homeless' written by Cui Shangshu is still hanging high in the west palace.

Lu Zhi smiled and said, "What's wrong with staying brother?"

"In this way, Brother Yu stayed for a few days and saw Lou Sang, who is praised by everyone in the world."

Liu Bei knew about Cui Zhi's visit the next day. So he hurried to the backyard of the school building and visited him. Seeing Cui Shangshu's rosy complexion and spirit, he felt relieved. Chronic diseases such as cold and diarrhea are the most agitated. Many people are old and weak, and they cannot withstand the torture of the illness and die. The magnetic pads are miraculously effective for cold and diarrhea. Cui Zhi has no major illness, and the cold and diarrhea will be eliminated, so his body is naturally healthy. He is still almost done as usual and moves freely, but he cannot mix it with any falsehood.

The last time, the great scholar Liu Chong lived in a short life and became one of the three divisions in the school. Now that Cui Shi is here again, he probably won’t leave.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei suddenly realized that his mentor Lu Zhi was afraid he would become an official.

Liu Bei was prepared in his heart.

Otherwise, my mentor would not have quelled the Yellow Turban Rebellion later.

As expected, not long after, his mentor was conferred a doctor of ranks of 600 stones and officially entered the official career.

However, there seems to be another situation called: not to let go.

Although his mentor accepted the position of doctoral degree, he did not take office. He still taught and educated people in the school. There were four great scholars in the school. Three halls were obviously not enough. Liu Bei expanded the school hall again and became a unique round building, similar to the Hakka earthen building in later generations. It was named as the Academy. Also known as Lou Sang Xuetan.

The four great scholars opened the door to teach at the same time, and the world was shocked, and there was no difference at the moment.

According to my mother, this is Lou Sang's courage. There is no need to be any mistakes.

Liu Bei sent more people to change defense day and night. Fortunately, he was a round building, holding the Yuan and guarding the crooked, and there was only one door in and out. In addition, there were high walls outside the building and two palaces were set outside the door. Generally, thieves could not fly if they had wings.

Cui Wei is good at political and argumentative classics. He is known as a Confucian scholar. He taught most of the skills of political and civilians. He is highly praised by scholars of You Xuexi. The so-called "confucian scholars" is "Book of the Later Han Dynasty: Biography of Du Lin": "Book of knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and was called a Confucian scholar at that time." It refers to a great scholar who is well-versed in ancient and modern times and has a profound knowledge.

In terms of the age of the disciple, Lu Zhi is the youngest, Liu Chong is a little older, Cui is even older, and Chen is the oldest.

What we learn is different, and Lou Sang, young and old can learn it.

The powerful and powerful clans in the north all asked someone to post to Liu Bei, hoping that the children of the clan would come to Lou Sang to study. The letter was thanked and provided sufficient academic funds. What's more, Tian Shao from Liaodong actually donated millions of dollars to seek his son's admission to Lou Sang!

This seems to be a business.

Liu Bei, who was lenient in receiving the money, felt very ashamed.

It’s no wonder that Liu Bei was ashamed. The school funds collected by Lou Sang’s school even exceeded the bedding cushion! The school funds of a wealthy family are worth millions. It only takes ten people to collect tens of them! Lou Sang’s most inferior hemp cushion is only a thousand dollars. It takes ten thousand pieces to make up for the tuition fee of ten people!

I asked my mentor if this is unfair.

The teacher asked back: How many poor sons can tens of millions of dollars be funded?

Liu Bei suddenly realized.

My teacher also said: All wealthy and poor families are the common people. If the wealthy and poor families are the colder they are, it is a political failure. If the poor families can also have noble sons, this is the way to be the king.
