In the Xiangyang Posthouse, Liu Qi came to see Cai Yan.

The two of them sat on separate tables in the courtyard pavilion of the post house. Cai Yan was chatting with Liu Qi while making tea to entertain the guests.

Cai Yan is completely opposite to the charming Cai Mi, and is also different from Du Yan, a woman who is purely beautiful and has a graceful figure.

The feeling she gave Liu Qi was what Liu Qi thought a classical woman should be like.

She is gentle and generous, her movements and conversation are very appropriate. It seems that every word she speaks is caring about the feelings of others. Every word she speaks makes people feel like a spring breeze.

Liu Qi knows that to achieve this, it is not just something that only people with high emotional intelligence can do.

There is another very important thing - that is education.

"Last time at the military camp, I had a quick meeting with Mr. Cai, but we didn't have an in-depth talk. Qi came here to pay a special visit today."

Cai Yan chuckled and said, "I was really ashamed when I met the young master for the first time before, but stopped him in public. Today, the young master is here in person, and Yan should confess to the young master."

Liu Qi waved his hand and said: "Master Cai, there is no need to be so polite. It was Cai Zhonglang who lent me the book in Jingzhou. Before Qi responded to the request of Cai Zhonglang and Master Cai, he wanted to touch the book rashly. It was indeed quite disrespectful. Master Cai stopped him."

."

Cai Yan used a long ladle to serve tea soup for Liu Qi, delivered it to Liu Qi, and said: "Young master, you don't have to be like this. Fortunately, Jun and his son are willing to set up a school in Jingchu, copy scriptures, and write "History of the Han Dynasty", so that they can make scholars all over the world."

If we have a pure land to study, since my father and daughter are from a family of scholars, we should support them without any shirk."

Liu Qi looked at the tea soup delivered to him by Cai Yan and hesitated.

Tea soup in the Han Dynasty was boiled with oil and salt in it. The taste was indescribably weird...

For Liu Qi, drinking tea soup from the Han Dynasty was like drinking traditional Chinese medicine.

But since Cai Yan had already handed the tea soup to him, it would be somewhat rude if he didn't drink it, so he had to drink some anyway.

Liu Qi picked up his wine glass and carefully took a sip.

After taking this bite, Liu Qi couldn't help but be stunned.

There is no peculiar smell of oil and salt. Although it is boiled tea, you can faintly taste some of the original flavor of tea made in later generations.

At least what you drink in your mouth is the air of grass and trees, not that kind of seasoning packet.

Seeing Liu Qi holding a wine glass, Cai Yan said, "Young master, you are not used to eating?"

Liu Qi came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "No, it's just that the taste...is different from ordinary tea soup."

Cai Yan smiled calmly and explained: "Yan makes tea and doesn't like seasoning. The taste is bland, but others are not used to it. Yan Jun never eats the tea soup I make."

"tasty."

Liu Qi blew at the wine glass, drank it all in one gulp, then handed the wine glass to Cai Yan and said, "Have another drink."

Cai Yan didn't expect Liu Qi to be so complimentary of her weak tea soup, and was quite surprised.

But looking at Liu Qi's expression, it doesn't look like he's faking it. Instead, he genuinely likes to drink the 'light tea' he brewed.

While serving tea soup to Liu Qi, she asked: "Young master actually likes to eat such boiled tea? In Cai Yan's impression, men seem to have strong tastes. Yan Jun usually likes meat smoked with strong wine and salt oil."

."

Liu Qi took the wine glass handed over by Cai Yan, thanked him, and said: "I also like to eat wine and meat, but drinking tea is different from drinking. Drinking is about being hearty, while drinking tea should be elegant. Shen Nong tasted all kinds of herbs.

When you encounter seventy-two poisons, you can get rid of them with tea...Tea comes from the nature of heaven and earth, and is born from spiritual energy. Drinking it carefully can make people sober and peaceful. Compared with the strong wine, tea should be light to make people sober.

Soothe the heart and cleanse the lungs, wash away the mundane world... Add a lot of food to the tea, and use the mundane taste to cover up the fragrance of the world. Then the tea is no longer tea, and what is the taste of eating it? "

Cai Yan sighed secretly after hearing this.

She doesn't like to make tea with seasoning, she only likes to boil it plainly, but the taste is bland at best.

She herself had never thought carefully about what Liu Qi said.

Unexpectedly, someone who makes tea would be spoken of so profoundly by him.

She never imagined that the person who was similar to her in terms of taste would actually be a man.

Cai Yan picked up his wine glass, took a sip, closed his eyes and tasted it carefully for a while, then said: "It is exactly as the young master said, it does have some artistic conception."

Liu Qi put down his wine glass: "Shu people drink a lot of tea, and most of the world's top-quality squid comes from the southwest. However, in the land of Jingchu, there is also a place where bitter tea grows everywhere. Does Cai Cai know that?"

Cai Yan laughed when he heard this: "Could it be Chaling County in Changsha that the young master is talking about? There are many people who have made tea and tea. Yan admires it very much, but it is a pity that he has never been able to go there."

Liu Qi smiled and said: "That's not entirely true... In fact, everyone Cai will have the opportunity to go to Changsha soon."

Cai Yan asked curiously: "Master, why did you say this?"

Liu Qi took another sip of light tea, and then told Cai Yan that Liu Biao intended to establish Jingnan Academy in Changsha and write "Han Ji" in Jingnan.

According to Liu Qi's idea, he originally thought that Cai Yan would be resistant to going to Jingnan. After all, based on the national conditions of the Han Dynasty, the further south you go after crossing the Xiangjiang River, the more economically and culturally developed areas you will find. Cai Yan is originally from

Chen Liu. It is the place where the world's economy and culture flourish. How could she be willing to go to the remote Jingnan?

But Cai Yan's performance exceeded Liu Qi's imagination.

She didn't hesitate at all, but readily agreed.

She nodded lightly and said: "Actually, Yan already knew that he would not be able to stay in Xiangyang for a long time. After all, the five professions in Xiangyang Academy were Zhong Zigong and Guang Minggong. Yan was just a girl, so how could he compete with the two?

Do you want to teach in the same palace? If you can go to Jingnan, it will be convenient."

Liu Qi asked her tentatively: "Jingnan is far away from prosperity and is a remote place. Many places are even barbaric. Don't you feel aggrieved when Cai went there to compile "Han Ji"?"

Cai Yan shook his head and said seriously: "Jia Yan and Liu Shijun are both famous people, but they are trapped in the court. They cannot study and establish education like Shijun. It is a pity in life. As the daughter of the Cai family, Yan should uphold the

How can the ambition of a strict monarch be timid due to the regional intolerance? It is Cai who can promote civil rule in Jingnan, make rituals and music, entertain people with classics, educate people, and make the southern territory politically stable, the customs are pure and beautiful, and the culture and education are brilliant... But it is Cai

Yanzhi."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Liu Qi did not expect Cai Yan to say such words, and he could not help but feel admiration in his heart.

He cupped his hands towards Cai Yan and said, "It is Liu Qi's great fortune to go to Jingnan with such outstanding women as Cai and show off his ambitions."

Cai Yan asked: "Young Master also wants to go to Jingnan?"

While drinking tea, Liu Qi smiled and said: "If Liu Qi doesn't go, how can the Cai family run the Changsha Official School alone?"

Cai Yan thought about it carefully and found that the secret path was indeed true.

Although he was appointed by Liu Biao to engage in five industries, he had no power to mobilize local funds and husbands to build a school, let alone recruit scholars to compile "Han Ji".

The only people with this ability are Liu Biao and Liu Qi.

However, as Liu Biao was the shepherd of Jingzhou, he naturally had to sit in Xiangyang and take charge of the overall situation. Although Liu Qi was the governor of Nanyang County, because Wancheng was in the hands of Yuan Shu, Liu Qi became a person without practical work and could move around at will.

In later generations, Cai Yan would be a female professor.

Liu Qicai is the board member and principal in charge of school operations.

"In that case, may I ask, Sir, when should we go to Changsha?"

Liu Qi smiled and said, "We will be able to make the trip after Yan Jun's memorial to Chang'an is answered."

…

Soon after, an edict from Chang'an was issued, ordering Liu Biao, the shepherd of Jingzhou, to be responsible for the overall planning and supplementary recording of "Han Ji".

The news spread to various states one after another, attracting the attention of scholars from all states.

The "Han Ji" supplemented in Jingchu naturally had to use experts in classics and history from various schools, and the history recorded in the "Han Ji" was, to a certain extent, equivalent to the official history recognized by the Han Dynasty.

volume, and the school of Confucian classics represented by those who can compile it will be invisible and recognized by society as the official school of orthodox classics and history.

Many celebrities in classics can't help but be eager to try and participate in this big project.

Liu Biao himself was a famous scholar. Since he had assumed the responsibility of supplementing the "Han Ji", it could not just be as simple as picking up people's wisdom and supplementing some chapters.

To him, it was just following in the footsteps of his predecessors.

In response to this matter, Liu Qi once made a pertinent opinion to Liu Biao, which won Liu Biao's approval.

While Jingchu recruited talents from various schools of Confucianism to compile "Han Ji", it could be extended to make a more accurate, more complex, and more comprehensive biographical chronological history in addition to "Han Ji".

Previously, Ban Gu compiled the "Book of Han"...
