It was rare for Zhang Xi to scold his daughter for once.
The kind that was very stern and made Xiao Xuan'er cry.
But Zhang Xi couldn't help it.
In this era, there are some things that my daughter's family really can't do too outrageously.
It's not that she won't be allowed to meet Zhuge Qiao. When Zhang Xi took Zhuge Qiao back to Chang'an, she had already thought about such a day.
Someday in the future, such as a lantern tour or an outing, which is originally a time for trysts between young men and women, Zhang Xi will also choose to turn a blind eye and let his daughter meet her lover.
However, you, a girl, went to the inn to see Zhuge Qiao without anyone accompanying you, and didn't go home until dark, did you still have some "courtesy"? !
Although this era is not the era of ritual cannibalism like the Ming and Qing Dynasties, "rituals" have been passed down for thousands of years. When a girl goes to meet a "strange man", she should know some taboos! ! !
If word spreads, the daughter's reputation will be damaged.
This is the real reason why Zhang Xi scolded his daughter.
Although Zhang Xi claimed to be the heir of "Book of Rites" to others, he took it seriously. How he got married to his wife, and the love between Deng Ai and Guan Yinping all showed that Zhang Xi's lineage was actually not Pay attention to the rules and regulations.
But my daughter has really done it this time. The rumors and rumors are still too harmful to a little girl who is only sixteen years old.
For this reason, after Zhang Xi scolded Xiao Xuan'er, he had to ask Fei Yi the next day to help control the rumors in Chang'an City.
Zhang Xi would let those who said nothing too exaggerated, but if there was someone who maliciously slandered his daughter's reputation, there would definitely be a place for him in Chang'an Prison.
Just using power for personal gain, what happened? !
Fei Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry about this matter, but he complied with it after all.
Although Fei Yi didn't think there was anything wrong with Zhang Xi and Zhuge Liang's marriage, considering a father's thoughts for his daughter, it was easy to do a favor.
It just so happened that Fei Yi also wanted to take this opportunity to purge Cao Wei's fine network in Chang'an City. It is understandable to take advantage of this matter, but if it is a malicious rumor, it has something to do with the people in the pass.
Catch first and ask later.
The espionage front these days is so simple and crude, there are not so many fancy methods, and there are not so many dead soldiers. Double agents are the mainstream these days.
Fei Yi's ability has always been good. The only difference is that this Fei Yi's painting style is a bit strange compared to the Fei Yi in history.
Fei Yi in history was a bit careless, but this Fei Yi still looked carefree on the outside, but in fact he was extremely thoughtful and every move in Chang'an City could not escape his eyes.
Just when Fei Yi was busy setting up Cao Wei's detailed network, Zhang Xi was already officially working in the government office and summoned Wei Yan, Huang Quan, Jiang Wan, and Chen Zhi for a meeting.
This time I went to Chengdu and finally won what I needed to fight for. Not only did it reduce Yongzhou's contribution to the imperial tax, but through Zhang Xi's hard work, he retained 50% of the smuggled grain and grass share.
This is already a very good result. After all, everyone is watching this smuggling of food.
After getting policy inclinations, Zhang Xi also needed to make some adjustments to Yongzhou's planning after returning to Chang'an.
Wei Yan represents the military, and Zhang Xi plans to allocate all of the smuggled grain and grass share to the military.
After all, Yongzhou is a border state and must be on guard against Cao Wei's attacks at any time. Only the soldiers on the front line can block Cao Wei's attacks, and the people and farmsteads in the rear can grow food with peace of mind.
Although Jiang Wan and Chen Zhi were somewhat dissatisfied at this point, they did not argue with Wei Yan much.
This made Wei Yan very satisfied, even a little proud.
After all, how much food he can get back this time is related to his prestige in the army. Wei Yan originally planned to have a good argument with Zhang Xi, but he didn't expect Zhang Xi to be so generous this time and just gave it to him. A share that exceeds one's expectations.
As for Jiang Wan and Chen Zhi, although they were not satisfied with the distribution of the smuggled grain and grass, because Zhang Xi fought with the court to reduce the share of taxes paid by Yongzhou, the extra money was enough for them to do many things. .
By the way, Zhuge Qiao had already reported to Jiang Wan at this time, and was mainly responsible for the repair of water conservancy facilities in Yongzhou's three major water systems.
However, his level is not high enough, and it is not his turn to attend such a high-level meeting.
As for Huang Quan, his main responsibility was to deal with the replacement of Zuo Fengyi's idle land. Of course, in the end, Zhang Xi felt that given Huang Quan's ability, it was a bit too easy to let him be responsible for such a matter, so he made the decision himself and took over the farmland. The affairs of the office were also handed over to Huang Quan.
Huang Quan, although he comes from a noble family and sometimes speaks on behalf of the family's interests, his moral character is still very good, and he would not collude with the noble family and annex the farmers. This trust, Zhang Xi There are still some.
In addition, most of these campers are from Shu, and Huang Quan, a Shu native, will manage this matter, which is more conducive to the resettlement of the campers.
After arranging all the things at hand, Zhang Xi felt that the pressure on himself was much less.
So, when working these days, it is really important to have a reliable helper.
Huang Quan, Wei Yan, Jiang Wan, and Chen Zhi are all great talents. Liu Yin and Hu Zun are also talented in both civil and military affairs. Now the Han Dynasty has set a national policy of recuperation and recuperation. It will not use foreign troops for the time being. The people of Yongzhou will slowly recover sooner or later. of.
During this period, Zhang Xi worked in the government office during the day and returned to the inner courtyard at night to formally teach Xiao Zheng'er.
It is not difficult for Sun Shangxiang to complete enlightenment education.
After all, she is the eldest lady of the Sun family. Although she has a "lively" personality, she has received top-notch education since she was a child. Sun Shangxiang's teacher is Zhang Zhao, a famous person in the world who even Sun Ce respects.
Therefore, although Sun Shangxiang's personality is a little off, and he doesn't look like a lady, his knowledge is not bad at all, and there is no problem in educating Xiao Zheng'er.
Now that Xiao Zheng'er is ten years old, it's time to formally teach him some knowledge.
Zhang Xi still starts teaching from "Book of Rites".
The book "Book of Rites" not only describes the behavioral norms that Confucian scholars should have in this era, but most importantly, it establishes the three views that a scholar should have.
Only by establishing the correct three views, with the constraints of "etiquette", and then teaching Xiao Zheng'er some of the messy knowledge in Zhang Xi's mind can Xiao Zheng'er not go astray.
This is how Zhang Xi taught Deng Ai, and it was considered a success story. It shouldn't be difficult to follow suit this time.
Then, Zhang Xi understood one thing - there is really an IQ gap between people.
When I first taught Xiao Aier, I didn't think it was that difficult.
How could Deng Ai understand something that was explained to him once, but he was still confused after explaining it to Xiao Zheng'er three times? !
If it is explained by Deng Ai's talent, then Deng Ai's intelligence is about ninety-six, then wouldn't his own Xiao Zheng'er only be thirty-two? !
Is this IQ a bit too low-level? !
Zhang Xi is really worried.
An IQ of 32, even in the late Three Kingdoms period, was still a third-rate existence. Zhuge Zhan, who has a high vision but a low hand, has an intelligence of over 70.
For this reason, Zhang Xi had to act like a strict father and seriously urged Xiao Zheng'er to study, which made Xiao Zheng'er cry several times.
Sun Shangxiang didn't show anything in front of Xiao Zheng'er, but he always complained to Zhang Xi in private, thinking that Zhang Xi's demands were too high.
When Mr. Zhang Zhao educated Sun Quan and Sun Shangxiang, he was not as strict as Zhang Xi.
Besides, you can't compare the little Aier back then with the Zheng'er now.
Before Xiao Ai'er studied with Zhang Xi, she had studied at home for several years. Moreover, Xiao Ai'er was already thirteen years old at that time, which was three years older than Xiao Zheng'er today. Children, the difference between three years old is huge.
But even so, Zhang Xi still felt that Xiao Zheng'er's ability to absorb knowledge was not as good as that of Xiao Deng Ai. When Zhang Xi taught Deng Ai's "Book of Rites", Deng Ai could basically recite the book after listening to it once. , Deng Ai was able to fully understand it very quickly.
Sun Shangxiang had nothing to say about this.
Sun Shangxiang also taught Deng Ai martial arts in his early years and recognized Deng Ai's learning ability. From this point of view, Xiao Zheng'er's learning ability is indeed not as good as Xiao Ai'er.
Looking at it this way, Sun Shangxiang also felt that he could not dote on his children too much.
Originally, I wanted to wait until Xiao Zheng'er was older and teach him martial arts when he was thirteen or fourteen years old, but now it seemed that he had to make preparations in advance.
There is no way, the child is not talented enough, in my husband’s words, the stupid bird will fly first.
Then. Poor little Zheng'er has enjoyed the experience of Deng Ai in advance. He learned martial arts during the day to lay the foundation, and fell asleep while studying literature at night. Moreover, Xiao Zheng'er was even worse than Deng Ai. From time to time, he had to be teased by his parents. Ai, this "other people's child", is exciting.
Those days were so miserable that even Deng Ai felt miserable when he saw them.
However, Xiao Zheng'er still has one advantage over Deng Ai.
At that time, Deng Ai was unable to do anything about the double oppression of his master and his wife. At least Xiao Zheng'er still had a sister to protect him, so at least he had a place to complain.
But such days did not last long.
Probably less than a year later, one day, my sister appeared in front of Xiao Zheng'er and told Xiao Zheng'er with joy that she was getting married.
Well, marry her lover, Zhuge Qiao.
