"By the way, I'll find Yu Zhongxiang in a few days and ask him to choose an auspicious day for your expedition." Lan Tian looked solemn.
Gao Shun asked in surprise: "Sir, I never believe this, why do you still..."
"Madam was worried about Boyang, so she strongly asked Yu Fan to do a divination. He had tested Sun Quan's divination, and the final result was exactly the same as the divination..." Lan Tian also found it incredible.
"Sir, are you talking about the hexagram 'A gentleman gains a public opinion, a villain strips his house'? I heard Jiang Gongyan mention that rumor before. If Lord Yu is really so miraculous, he should be allowed to test it." Gao Shun said seriously. .
Lantian chatted with Gao Shun for a while, and the sun was setting in the west when they came out of the military zone.
Most of the major yamen in the central administrative region were empty, and only the newly established Liucao yamen was almost full of candlelight.
Seeing this scene, Lan Tian felt emotional and thought, "You guys are really good. Are you taking the lead in this era?"
Among the six Cao Cao, except for the Bing Cao Cao, which is located in the military area, the other five Cao Cao are located in the core of the central government area, close to the state pastoral office and convenient for reporting work.
Lantian took a quick look around and saw that there were young people in all the yamen. Could it be that there were not enough people selected last year? Perhaps because he was not skilled at his job, he thought about discussing with Jiang Wan and Yu Fan first whether it was necessary to temporarily recruit a group of government officials based on the needs of each Cao Cao.
"Sir, why are you here?"
While Lan Tian stood there meditating, Xu Shuang happened to walk out of the Xingcao Yamen.
"I just stopped by to take a look. Why are you leaving now?" Lan Tian turned to look behind Xu Shuang and found that several entourage soldiers were locking the door.
"The Xing Cao is in charge of the security of the counties and Xing Prison. After all, he is not as idle as the Bing Cao. He has no busy work during his duty and can only spend more time after his duty breaks. But it is much better than the other four Cao Cao." Xu Shuang answered with a smile.
Lan Tian nodded, "I think it's easier for you to serve as the chief of the criminal cao than Xia Houqi. How do you feel after taking office for more than ten days? Are there any difficulties at all?"
Xu Shuang held his chin and thought: "The veterans of the enemy are very competent in public security and prison. There should be no big problem in performing their duties. The only difficulty is that there are too many clerical tasks. There are not enough literate soldiers for the enemy. You see? Don’t you want to be taught in the martial arts hall? Even if you go to the Mongolian School to learn literacy..."
"I have been thinking about this for a long time and plan to renovate the martial arts hall and upgrade it to an exclusive academy for military talents. Young people who have studied in the Meng Academy will not only be able to study in Guangzhou Academy and Guangzhou Medical College, but also multiple military academies to choose from. "After graduating from the military academy, you can join the army, or you can pass the selection and assessment of Li Cao, and eventually serve as Bing Cao and Xing Cao." Lantian answered seriously.
"This is great. Can you upgrade quickly? I can't wait." Xu Shuang was very excited after hearing this.
"The establishment of a military academy is different from an ordinary school. This matter requires me to write to the King of Hanzhong. I can only take action after getting a positive answer. Before that, you have to persist." Lan Tian patted Xu Shuang's shoulder to encourage him.
"As long as you can see hope." Xu Shuang nodded.
Lan Tian waved his hand gently, "You go home first, I'll take a walk nearby."
"only."
Xu Shuang and his entourage passed by Lan Tian. From the corner of his eye, he saw Lan Tian walking into Li Cao's Yamen.
Li Cao was responsible for the management of the school. Xu Shuang guessed that Lan Tian must have gone to Yu Fan to vent his anger. Being prepared for a rainy day has always been Mr. Li's forte.
"Won't Zhongxiang go home?" Lan Tian and Gao Yuan appeared at the door. Looking at Yu Fan who was sitting at his desk in the room, they felt that this man was really diligent.
When Yu Fan heard Lan Tian's voice, he stood up in excitement. He patted his robe with his hands and hurriedly greeted him.
"Master Fu, why are you here?" Yu Fan asked doubtfully.
"I passed by here by chance and saw candlelight burning in all the yamen. Is there so much to do?" Lan Tian looked curious.
Yu Fan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Fu Jun created Liucao Yamen. Everyone is doing things while groping. It is normal to do things slower, but Hucao is really busy at the end of the year and the beginning of the year..."
"Where is Li Cao?" Lan Tian asked again.
Yu Fan answered truthfully: "Li Cao is relatively relaxed, but I have found something to occupy my humble post."
Lan Tian was startled when he heard this, and said to himself, "You can find a job by yourself, I don't get overtime pay."
Yu Fan saw Lan Tian's expression was strange and explained: "I have seen that Cao Yamen's manpower is very tight. Jiang Biejia will report the situation to the governor sooner or later, and there may be a selection test, so Li Cao is sorting out the test questions. When the time comes, To prepare for the government’s detailed information.”
"Zhongxiang's performance is outstanding. Please forgive me if I have been negligent before." Lan Tian gave Yu Fan a fist-cup salute.
Yu Fan hurriedly returned the gift and said humbly: "The king of Fu defeated his subordinates. Fan sat in a well in the east of the Yangtze River and watched the sky. It was not until he arrived in Jiaozhou that he realized that the king of Fu was a great talent. If I have offended in any way, please forgive me."
Seeing that Yu Fan was so submissive, Lan Tian thought that he was more ambitious than Sun Quan, so he smiled and asked: "Zhong Xiang was born in a talented family and served as an official in many places. What do you think of Jiaozhou's official system? Please?" It mainly evaluates the relationship between the school and the court. Do you think this method is feasible? I am also crossing the river by feeling the stones."
"It's like crossing the river by feeling the stones. Since the Lord asked me to talk, I will be disrespectful." Yu Fan put his hands behind his back, raised his head and thought for a while before replying: "Sir, he made paper and printed books to popularize knowledge among the people. , setting up schools to open up people’s wisdom is an act of immeasurable merit. However, if you suspend the promotion of filial piety and integrity and use examinations to select officials in schools, you may not be understood by the world’s nobles..."
"Li Cao Yamen has ordinary people and also has children from poor families. Zhong Xiang, please tell me with your own experience, are they really not as good as the nobles' children? Or are they really not worthy of being officials?" Lan Tian asked.
"Well... to be frank, they are all diligent and conscientious, and they do things just like the gentry. I can't find anything wrong with them, but abandoning filial piety and honesty violates the ancestral system. This move is undoubtedly incompatible with the gentry in the world. We are enemies, I wonder if the King of Hanzhong..." Yu Fan started to speak but stopped.
"The King of Hanzhong asked me to do things easily." Lan Tian smiled mysteriously.
When Yu Fan heard about the expediency, he thought that Liu Bei and Sun Quan had reached a high-level dispute. If the old master had been more at ease with the generals, he would not have suffered so many disastrous defeats.
"Since the King of Hanzhong supports it, the prince can do whatever he wants. It won't have much impact if Jiaozhou is far away from the Central Plains, but it will indeed help development." Yu Fan sighed and continued to add, "I see that Xing Cao doesn't have the manpower. Too much, will the Lord consider allocating some to them during the next assessment and selection?"
"Xing Cao's affairs can be handled by Chief Xu. I will make arrangements if necessary." Lan Tian never expressed his idea of setting up a military academy. Although Li Cao was responsible for the management of schools and colleges in the state, Lan Tian wanted to make a military academy Discrimination.
"I understand, sir, do you have anything else to do?" Yu Fan continued to ask for instructions.
Lan Tian replied: "Gao Boping's expedition is about to begin. I heard that Zhong Xiang is proficient in divination. Can you choose an auspicious day for the army to go on the expedition? By the way, we can test the fortune of our army in this battle."
"Uh... Okay." Yu Fan originally wanted to refuse. The last time he performed a divination for Sun Quan, he ended up being demoted to Nanye, but at this time Lan Tian was so sincere that he couldn't refuse at all.
