Chapter 865 Theoretical Basis
It is not enough to say more than half a sentence.
Li Liulang didn't want to say more to this person, but the other person's tone was polite, and even after his own retort, he was actually quite magnanimous. Naturally, he couldn't look down on him.
At the moment, he said a few perfunctory words, then turned and left.
Back at the guest house, Li Liulang took out the "Mock Test Questions for the Liangzhou Governor's History Examination of the Great Han Dynasty" and wanted to continue reading, but found that he couldn't stand it at all.
When I dug out the arithmetic book I bought specially from Nanxiang, I found that I had miscalculated two questions in succession.
Distraught, he couldn't help but sigh.
Although I had just argued with someone outside, it seemed that I had firm confidence in Feng Wenhe.
But Li Liulang’s own family knew about his own affairs.
In fact, he seems to be persuading others, but in fact he is just persuading himself.
A sister has already bet her whole life for herself.
I have no other choice, now I can only go one way to the end.
If it is true that Liangzhou is in ruins as Na Ma Tian said, then there is still a question as to how long the exams can be postponed.
The biggest fear is that things will change later, and if something goes wrong, such as canceling exams or something, it is not impossible.
At that time, my future may be in vain.
More importantly, my sister’s sacrifice will become meaningless.
Li Liulang’s sister is his sister.
That's why he couldn't help but stand up and argue with Na Ma Tian.
Speaking of disgust, the first person Li Liulang disliked was naturally the military leader.
But he is now his brother-in-law.
The second person I hate is Li Twelve Lang, the grandson of the eldest family member who caused him and his sister to be relocated.
Just as the bottom of the Li family's big house, he had no right to resist.
As for the third person who hated him, it was Feng Wenhe who exiled Li Twelve Lang to Hanjia.
But under the general situation, now I have to go to Liangzhou, which is really a huge irony.
This feeling of being angry but unable to resist left Li Liulang in a state of self-doubt and suffering all the time.
Of course, what Li Liulang didn't know was that his mentality actually represented the mentality of some children from aristocratic families who had to adapt to the trend.
It's true that I have secretly cursed Feng Wenhe in private, but if others really wanted to do something publicly, they would subconsciously refute him.
It is already regrettable that I did not keep up with the big trend in time.
Now I finally made up my mind and tried to get closer, but those stubborn people came to pour cold water on me again.
It’s even worse to cut off someone’s future than to cut off their money!
But after Li Liulang calmed down, he also understood that what Ma Tian said may not be unreasonable.
The exchange is now the most concentrated place for all types of bulk material transactions in Dahan.
Grains, beans, woolen materials, brown sugar, and even large livestock such as cattle and horses are available.
The fact is that the prices of grains and beans have increased the most recently.
It is rumored that the red line of no more than 200 yuan for food has been broken today.
What is happening to Liangzhou? This is a very worrying question.
Just when Li Liulang was thinking wildly, there was a noise outside.
A short and stocky figure strode into Li Liulang's house:
“Mukuro, I’m back.”
Li Liulang was overjoyed when he heard this voice:
“It turns out to be Brother Feng!”
But I saw that the short and stocky man who broke in had a sinister face. The most noticeable thing was that his left hand was missing. The entire palm of his hand was gone.
Only the bare wrists are left.
Although this man only has one hand left, he still has a long knife on his waist. He is a guard leader of Dongfeng Express.
His surname is Feng, and he is actually somewhat related to his brother-in-law.
The reason why Li Liulang called this martial artist brother is because he was able to arrive in Hanzhong without incident and easily because he was taken care of by him.
Of course, there are more important reasons:
Although this man looks like a martial artist, in fact, his arithmetic ability is actually very good, and he is still in the same vein as Nanxiang Academy.
I have improved a lot in arithmetic along the way, thanks to his guidance.
Even if there are no exams, just being able to teach him knowledge, this kind of friendship is worth calling him brother.
Heard, just heard, I don’t know whether it is true or false:
If the brother of the Feng family had not been unlucky and had his hand cut off by a thief, his status in the army would definitely be higher than that of his brother-in-law.
But without his left hand, he had no choice but to quit the army and join Dongfeng Express as a guard leader.
“Brother Feng, where have you been these days?”
For Li Liulang, if he wants to know the news about Liangzhou, the best channel is the person in front of him.
In the past few months since Hanjia came out, Li Liulang finally faced the huge power of the Xinghan Society in person for the first time.
Every important city has its warehouse base.
Most of the horse teams coming and going in Shu are affiliated with the Xinghan Hui.
There is a dazzling array of various supplies on horseback.
Even a guard leader has the ability to calculate the number of materials he escorts.
Although there have been rumors for a long time, Li Liulang was still shocked when he experienced it himself.
“Oh, isn’t the road to Liangzhou not open yet? So I took people back to Brazil County and transported a batch of grain back.”
Li Liulang keenly captured the message: "Food?"
“Yes, food. The Ju family and Huang family in Brazil collected some food..."
“Is it shipped to Liangzhou?”
"That's right." Feng Weiwei said carelessly, "Liu Lang, please pack up in the next two days, we are ready to set off."
As he said that, he smiled happily again, "Speaking of which, the military order from above is a bit strange. We are required to transport it directly to Liangzhou. In the past, we always transported it to Qishan and then turned back."
"That's fine, you can follow me all the way and entrust you to someone else halfway. I don't trust you."
Feng Huwei retired from the army, but some habits remained unchanged.
For example, the military order just now, I don’t know if it was a slip of the tongue.
Li Liulang’s heart skipped a beat:
The information about transporting grain directly to Liangzhou seems a bit special.
“Brother Feng, remember you told me before that the roads in Liangzhou will not be smooth until March?”
He asked tentatively.
“This year is different.”
There is nothing to hide about this matter. Feng Huwei explained, "Didn't Liangzhou suffer from a white disaster?"
“A death order has been issued from above. Now we, Xinghanhui, must do our best to ensure Liangzhou’s food supply. I heard that the order was given by the monarch himself!”
Speaking of this, Feng Huwei’s face lit up, “When I get to Liangzhou, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to see you again!”
Thinking of the king's defeat of the Wei thief Sima at Xiaoguan, Feng Huwei couldn't help but beat his left hand and said regretfully:
“Alas! This was my mistake!”
Seeing how the other party couldn't help himself when he mentioned King Feng Gui, Li Liulang always had a feeling of trembling in his heart.
Feng Huwei naturally didn't know what Li Liulang was thinking. After informing Li Liulang, he left first.
To **** the grain to Liangzhou, he still had a lot of preparation work to complete.
Li Liulang, on the other hand, after his heart trembled, remembered that he was also preparing to seek refuge with King Feng Gui, and his whole body suddenly felt relaxed:
With such a powerful force, King Feng Gui, will he lose?
Tell me how he lost?
Aware of this, and thinking of the civilian think tank just now, Li Liulang couldn't help but feel a sense of contempt in his heart:
The so-called grandiose words are nothing more than deceptive talk...
He didn’t know if Nanxiang was too evil, so he came up with this idea. He saw someone outside asking:
“May I ask if this is where Li Langjun lives?”
Li Liulang was confused and hurriedly went out and saw a man standing at the door, looking at him with a smile:
“Li Langjun, nice to meet you.”
Li Liulang felt slightly unhappy, but still asked politely:
“Why are you here?”
But seeing Ma Tian say cheerfully:
"I just heard what Li Langjun said, but I still have some unfinished ideas, so I came here to ask for advice again."
Are you not convinced?
Still sick?
Li Liulang had just received the inside information and felt that he and the other party had already opened up a rank. He said calmly:
"I am just making some superficial remarks and personal opinions. How can I be worthy of Mr. Ma's advice?"
Feeling the slight arrogance of the young man in front of him, Martin seemed to have seen his old self, and he didn't take it seriously at the moment:
“If the husband and the people are separate and listen, they will be foolish; if they are united and listen, they will be holy. There is another saying: The reason why the king is wise is that he listens at the same time; the reason why he is dark is that he is partial to faith.”
Speaking of this, he glanced around the room and his eyes fell on the test question book on the table that he had not yet had time to put away, but he did not stop too much:
"I see that Mr. Li Lang is also interested in Liangzhou. But do you know that if he is enrolled in the governor's office first, it will be of great benefit in future exams?"
Li Liulang was greatly surprised when he heard these words: "Is there such a thing?"
Martin smiled and said nothing.
Li Liulang was stunned for a moment, then he understood, his face straightened, and he said solemnly:
“When I came out of Hanjia, I brought some tea with me. It’s very fragrant. If you don’t want to give it up, please come in and taste it.”
Martin laughed, thinking it was very interesting.
Li Ming, although young, is still somewhat talented and even a little arrogant.
But at the critical moment, he was able to relax his posture, which is really interesting, interesting!
Li Ming led Ma Tian back to the table. When he saw the test question book still on the table, he was shocked and quickly put it away quietly.
Then he asked Ma Tian to sit down.
He asked for a pot of boiling water from the guest house, made tea, and then poured it for the guest. Then he asked humbly:
"I just listened to what you said: The reason why you are wise is that you listen to it; the reason why you are dark is that you believe it. What is the origin of this?"
“If husband and people are separate and listen to each other, they will be foolish; if they are united and listen to each other, they will be holy.” He knew that it came from "Guan Zi: Jun and Chen Shang".
But the latter sentence, he has indeed never heard of it.
Since Martin compared this sentence with the previous sentence, it must be from a certain classic.
"Wang Fu of the Later Han Dynasty wrote "Qian Fu Lun" more than a hundred years ago, but this book was not published in the contemporary world, so few people know about it."
"I see."
Li Ming nodded. He had never heard of Wang Fu, and he had never heard of "Qian Fu Lun". It was probably not an important book.
So he said casually:
“There are so many books in the world, I just wish I couldn’t read them all.”
Unexpectedly, when Ma Tian heard this, his eyes lit up slightly:
"If Li Langjun is interested in observing it, I can have a copy here."
Li Ming thanked me, and then started to ask about business: "How did you know that I was going to Liangzhou?"
Ma Tian chuckled, took out a book from his arms and put it on the table.
Li Ming took a look and saw that it was the "Mock Test Questions for the Examination of the History Department of the Han Dynasty".
He then realized: "So Mr. Ma is also going to Liangzhou?"
“Ran Ye.”
Ma Tian took a sip of tea and then continued:
“For the examination in Liangzhou, I heard that firstly, one needs to know the art of arithmetic, secondly, one needs to know the classics, and thirdly, one needs to know the affairs of Liangzhou.”
“It’s just that what specific regulations this is, we can’t know until the Liangzhou Governor’s Office officially issues a notice.”
Li Ming frowned when he heard this:
“The things that Mr. Cai said and did just now...”
Is it possible that this person came here to amuse himself?
“I have a brother who works in the governor’s office. Don’t worry, Li Langjun, this matter is definitely true.”
"It hasn't spread yet, but it will probably soon. I just have some advantage now."
"But the content of this line of examination is very particular. It is the first threshold for the examination of the governor's office."
When Li Ming heard this, he felt enlightened and secretly thought that this statement made sense. The textbook examination is to select talents for the country, so naturally one must have a certain amount of knowledge.
Moreover, there is no distinction between good and bad exams. If someone is lucky enough to go there regardless of their knowledge, how can the governor's office be able to cope with it.
Thinking of this, Li Ming looked at Martin with some suspicion:
“Why did you tell me this?”
“It’s just that after hearing Li Langjun’s previous remarks, I thought we could have a close relationship with him... Well, actually, I think that with Li Langjun’s knowledge, he can help me revise this document.”
As Ma Tian said, he took out two more pieces of paper from his arms, spread them out, and spread them on the table.
Li Ming looked at it carefully and saw it said: Grain price test.
“Is this a running scroll?” Li Ming asked blankly, “Then you still...”
“Hey, if you want to know the price of grain in the Han Dynasty, there are two places you must go to. One is Jincheng and the other is Nanxiang Exchange.”
“I am talking about food prices here just to get people’s opinions.”
Ma Tian smiled smugly, "And because of the Liangzhou White Disaster, food is what the Liangzhou Governor's Office is most concerned about now. If this is used as a policy, it will be submitted to the Governor's Office, haha..."
I see!
Li Ming suddenly felt a little stressed.
Liangzhou exams, the competition is greater than imagined!
With this thought in mind, he asked:
"Your vision is truly unique! Aren't you afraid that I might steal your ideas and end up with the governor of Liangzhou?"
Ma Tian waved his hand: "I don't want to hide anything from Li Langjun. If you steal my idea, I'm afraid you are just trying to imitate me."
As he spoke, he tapped the paper on the table and said, "The things I have collected from Nanzhong to Hanzhong in the past few months are not written on it."
“Even Li Langjun has to write a letter to compete with mine. The effort required is extraordinary. Does Li Langjun think it’s too late?”
Li Ming was speechless.
Seeing Li Ming's expression, Ma Tian smiled slightly: "If Li Langjun can help me complete this exam paper, I have something that can help Li Langjun."
Li Ming looked at the other party doubtfully, thought for a moment, nodded and said:
“Okay, deal!”
The suggestions given by people who are prepared to take the Liangzhou exam should be helpful to them.
After he read Martin's article carefully and repeatedly, he put forward his own opinions.
After receiving Li Ming’s advice, Martin did not hide his secrets and suggested:
"Liu Lang, don't look at the book "Qianfu Lun", which is not published in the world, but what is said in the book is very good at governing the people, and it has many similarities with Feng's way of governing."
“Therefore, if you can read this book thoroughly before going to Liangzhou to take the exam, it will be of great use to you.”
At this point, Ma Tian emphasized his tone, "Wang Fu is a stable person, so he has done a lot of research on the local customs of Liangzhou."
“The governance strategies he mentioned in his book mostly talked about how to govern Liangzhou…”
Before he finished speaking, Li Ming suddenly became energetic!
