Yao Qi smiled and said happily: "Are you really going to sue the magistrate? I am Yao Qi, the magistrate of Panyu. I passed by here incognito today. Let's go to see Magistrate Luo together?"

Although the teacher at Meng Xuetang is young and lacks experience, he is still a well-educated intellectual, so he is not that stubborn.

When he saw Yao Qi announcing his identity, he asked carefully: "When the emperor founded Quanling Academy, he once said, 'The school needs a quiet environment, so that we can concentrate our attention and achieve broad benefits.' Quanling Academy has a school and a guardian.

However, there are too few students in Mengxu Hall now, so we don’t have any facilities. I apologize for any rudeness."

"Mr. Lan Fu actually attaches great importance to running schools. I have traveled all over the world and have never seen such actions by princes. It is really gratifying to think about it." Liu Xi stroked his beard and sighed.

When the teacher heard Liu Xi mentioning Lantian, his childish face instantly turned into a look of admiration.

"Mr. Gongyan, the Jiu Gongyan of Quanling Academy, once said that Mr. Xuan Owl, the prince of the mansion, wants to spread his great righteousness to the world. Whether he succeeds or fails, he will make great contributions to the world."

Seeing that Liu Xi was a little confused, Yao Qi quickly explained: "The substitute wine that this young gentleman mentioned should be Jiang Wan and Jiang Gongyan from Lingling Xiangxiang. He is now the director of the Quanling Publishing House and offered sacrifices to Quanling Academy.

"

"I have heard of this talent, and his evaluation is very fair." Liu Xi nodded.

"It is inconvenient for us to send children to school. Mr. Cheng Guo is a guest invited by the emperor. Can I borrow the 'textbook' in your hand to take a look at it?" Seeing that the atmosphere had relaxed, Yao Qi immediately raised the banner of Lantian.

Yao Qi saw that this young man admired Lan Tian so much that he would not refuse his request now.

"Since you are the guest of Mr. Fu, what else do you have to say? You two can just browse through it at will." As expected, the teacher readily took the thousand-character text from the house.

Paper was not popular in that era, and bamboo slips were still used in various places to record records. Liu Xi was very curious when he saw books made of paper, but he was soon attracted by the contents inside.

Liu Xi quickly finished reading the thousand-character essay, and then sighed leisurely and said: "Although this thousand-character essay contains commonly used characters, it is comprehensive and has far-reaching meanings. It is really excellent for enlightenment. I wonder which talented person wrote it?"

"He must be someone Mr. Cheng Guo knows."

Yao Qi quickly held up his hand and complimented him. He said that if you count all the scholars in the world, you must be someone Liu Xi knows.

"The Thousand-Character Essay was written by Lan Fujun. Although he pretended that it was written by an unknown person from his hometown, everyone, including Quanling Jiang Jiejiu, guessed that it was Fujun himself." The teacher spoke up.

Liu Xi nodded, "I heard that Mr. Lanfu is from Xuzhou. I have never heard of such a talented person. Jiang Gongyan's analysis is correct. Mr. Lanfu does have the talent to help the world, but he has such talent and knowledge but he does not want to be famous. Seriously

He is a strange person in the world."

When the teacher saw Liu Xi praising Lan Tian, ​​he became more and more polite. He bowed and asked, "You two gentlemen have come a long way. Do you need me to take you to see Magistrate Luo?"

Yao Qi was mainly accompanying him on this trip. He looked at Liu Xi to see what he meant. Liu Xi shook his head and replied: "Oh... let's not bother Magistrate Luo. How about we start back to Guangxin? I suddenly changed my mind."

"Have you agreed to the Lord's request?" Yao Qi was overjoyed.

Liu Xi nodded with certainty, "Lan Fujun holds the whole world of Jiaozhou in his hands. As long as you don't rush for quick success and gain access to the Central Plains, there is still a great hope of success. I would also like to have a talk with him."

"If Mr. Fu knew about it, he would definitely be happy, but it's getting late now. Why don't we leave tomorrow morning?" Yao Qi reminded.

"It's better to leave immediately, let's just rest on the boat." Liu Xi hadn't been so excited for a long time.

Yao Qi stroked his beard and nodded: "Mr. Duyi."

The two said goodbye to their young teacher and headed straight to Yushui Wharf outside the city.

At this time, the sun was setting in the west, and the clouds in the sky were glowing with golden light. The scaly cloud shapes formed a pair of huge wings spread out.

Mengling is relatively close to Guangxin, and it only takes an hour by boat with smooth sailing. If the sailors on the boat work hard, they can reach it without having to walk too long at night.

On the boat, Liu Xi suddenly said: "I forgot to ask about the paper book that recorded the thousand-character text. I don't know where this paper book came from. Such a convenient thing is too convenient for recording."

Yao Qi replied: "I have heard about this matter. It should come from Jiang Gongyan's newspaper office. This new yamen was also founded by the emperor."

Liu Xi stroked his beard and nodded, thinking, "Lan Ziyu, Mr. Xuan Owl, who is he? Why have I never heard of him in the first half of my life? How can such a person remain unknown?"

Yao Qi sighed and said: "You can tell the prince's thoughts from the thousand-character essay. He likes to do practical things and does not seek fame, so he has not become famous in the world."

Liu Xi smiled bitterly: "If Sun Zhongmou hadn't tested him, I don't know how long Mr. Xuan Owl would have been hiding."

"Sun Quan originally threatened Shi Hui to return the South China Sea, but after the Shi family gave up the South China Sea to Fu Jun, there was no movement in Jiangdong. He just heard that Sun Quan demoted Shi Xie's eldest son, Shi Ren, to a commoner, but he did not dare to complain to Fu.

You said something cruel, don't you think it's ridiculous?" Yao Qi asked.

Liu Xi shook his head: "What a pity for that hot-blooded Sun Wentai..."

There were very few bandits under Lantian's rule. Whether it was Quanling in the past or Guangxin now, he delayed the closing of the city gates and opened night markets in the city, which not only gave the people more opportunities to earn a living, but also

Let the city's fireworks last longer.

During the Chinese New Year, Guangxin kept its city gates open all night, and it was not until the end of the 15th day that things returned to normal.

Yao Qi and Liu Xi entered the city shortly after nightfall. The brightly lit streets were still crowded with tourists. Because the government did not collect taxes and fees at night, there were many small merchants and hawkers doing business.

Such a scene is simply unbelievable in troubled times. Not only is it extremely rare to see it under the rule of Panyu and Shixie, it is also not common in Xudu where the emperor is located. To achieve all this requires a lot of effort, on the one hand it reflects the power of the government

Control, on the other hand, also reflects the sense of security of local people.

The noble officials all have mansions and courtyards, and their nightlife is much richer than that of ordinary people. Now the city is lit up with lights for the people. Although they don't have big houses and bright lights, the bustling streets can also give people comfort.

"I don't want to see such a night scene in Jiaozhou. It seems that I made the right decision today. Brother Yao should have been here before. Was there such a scene at that time?" Liu Xi asked curiously.

Yao Qi shook his head, "I was lucky enough to come here when Wu Ju was the governor of Cangwu, but there was no such excitement at that time..."

Liu Xi guessed that it had something to do with Lan Tian. Since he and Yao Qi hadn't had dinner yet, they simply bought food on the roadside to satisfy their hunger. They got the exact information from several stall owners. It was only after Lan Tian arrived that Guang Xin changed drastically.

This night market took place less than three months ago.

The two of them walked and stopped on the street until the number of pedestrians on the street gradually dwindled, and then they returned to the inn to rest. Liu Xi could not fall asleep that night, because the image of Lantian was always in his mind.
