Chapter 685: Same road, different people


    "Where is your city, junior brother?" Cai Yan stood tall and looked at Pingyang City in the distance, his gentle tone slightly revealing some curiosity and admiration.


    "So it is." Fei Qian did not point out the inappropriate wording in Cai Yan''s words. Although Pingyang City has not been officially included in the territory of the Han Dynasty, it was transformed by Fei Qian bit by bit, so it can be regarded as It is not wrong for Cai Yan to say that it is his own achievement.


    ??Cai Yan looked at it as if he were admiring a delicate artifact or a wonderful calligraphy and painting. He nodded and said, "Well, it''s really beautiful."


    Fei Qian couldn''t help but smile. It seems that women are the same in all eras. Everything in the world is divided into two types: beautiful ones and not beautiful ones...


    Since leaving Chang''an, Fei Qian has been arranging the itinerary of the Cai family and his daughter. Not long after Cai Yong left Chang''an after being conferred with the credential, Fei''s personnel who were lurking in Chang''an approached Cai Mansion and got in touch with Cai Yan. Then, taking advantage of the turmoil in Chang''an''s market, many people basically had no chance to pay attention to Cai Mansion. , simply took Cai Yan out of Chang''an, escorted him all the way, and finally arrived in Pingyang today.


    But the strange thing is that now that he has arrived in Pingyang, Cai Yan is unwilling to enter the city. He just says that he is tired from the journey and will go to Taoshan Academy after a short rest. Although Fei Qian feels a little surprised, since Cai Yan said so, he She is.


    At this time, the fields outside Pingyang City have been harvested, leaving only a short section of crop residues in the fields, waiting to be turned back into the soil to become nutrients for the fields when they are plowed again next spring. .


    "Sometimes..." Cai Yan said lightly, his voice was like a clear spring in the mountains. If you don''t pay attention, it might flow past your ears softly, "...I... would feel that even these grain seedlings are missing. Nothing can compare to it..."


    "Huh? What?" Fei Qian couldn''t react for a moment.


    Cai Yan said: "The cattails in Zepo can still be woven into seats, and the remaining crops can be used to feed the fields. But I... seem to have no other skills except reading more books..."


    ha?


    ??Is this one of the worries of female doctors?


    Fei Qian smiled hoarsely: "Senior sister, a book is worth thousands of gold. You have read so many books. To say that you are a priceless treasure, senior sister, is to underestimate you! If you are a little bit I lost half of my hair due to an accident. Not to mention that the master wants to settle the score with me. I guess there are many people all over the world beating their chests and feet, and they are in pain. "


    Hearing this, Cai Yan couldn''t hold it back and burst into laughter. Then he covered it with his hands and said, "Junior brother is talking nonsense again. I...how can I not be so rich..."


    Interrupted by Fei Qian, Cai Yan seemed to be in a better mood and did not continue the topic.


    “I have something I want to ask Senior Sister for help with…” Fei Qian said. Cai Yong was in charge of the academy''s grand ceremony, so he naturally had a lot of time to manage the affairs of the academy. However, Cai Yan was bored on Peach Mountain alone and returned to a life of reading and dictating. Although it suited Cai Yan''s temperament, But it''s a bit overkill.


    Besides, let’s find something to do for Cai Yan to distract this artistic young woman, so that she won’t be nostalgic for the past and looking for trouble like she just did...


    “What’s going on?” Cai Yan turned his head and looked at Fei Qian.


    "On Peach Mountain, it is not only a place for students from surrounding counties to study, but I also want to give military children and ordinary people a chance to read, so I want to compile a relatively simple and easy-to-learn literacy book. After much thought , only senior sister is worthy of this responsibility..." Fei Qian said.


    Fei Qian originally asked Huang Cheng to teach the low-level non-commissioned officers in the army. The effect is gradually showing. Now many soldiers no longer don''t know anything. After clearly understanding some basic numbers and words, they are more familiar with the army. The number of scribes required was greatly reduced, which greatly prevented the infiltration of nobles into the army and laid a shallow foundation for the next step in the army''s restructuring.


    But now Huang Cheng has been transferred to Huguan, and the military training has been temporarily handed over to Xu Shu, but Xu Shu also shoulders the responsibility of planning and related strategic planning, and is even responsible for part of the government affairs. The matter is also very heavy and there is no way to spare it. How much time does it take to teach at the military officer school?


    Therefore, Fei Qian wanted to publish such a book, and then he did not need Xu Shu or Cai Yan to teach him. He only needed to find one or two ordinary students and follow the text, just like the Three Character Classic and Qianzi Jing in later generations. Ziwen…


    ?But the problem is that Fei Qian doesn''t remember much of the content of the Three Character Classic or the Thousand Character Classic, not to mention that there are many things in the Three Character Classic and the Thousand Character Classic that are not suitable for the Han Dynasty.


    Because many things that have been given in the three -character classics and thousands of characters have not happened yet ... If Cai Yan is written, according to Cai Yan''s habits, you may unknowingly go in the elegant direction, and finally compile a copy of a book. Four different things, Cai Yan is undoubtedly the best person to compile such a book.


    Cai Yan blinked, obviously interested in this matter: "Junior brother, are you talking about the book of Mengxue? Isn''t there the "Shi Zhou Chapter"? Or the "Cangjie Chapter", "Ai Li Chapter", and "Bo Xue Chapter" can also be used Ah, my father also wrote an "Encourage to Learn" chapter, and the "Emergency Chapter" is also good, so why write a new one?"


    this…


    Fei has been searching in his latent memory for a long time, but he doesn’t have much impression of these books that Cai Yan kept in his possession. How could there be so many enlightenment books in the Han Dynasty?


    But now that he had said it, Fei Qian could only go down and circle back in a serious manner: "These are all good, but they are all clan studies, and it is a bit inconvenient to take them out directly. Also, for ordinary people, It’s too difficult to pronounce, and the number of words is a bit too much. It’s best to have about a thousand words, so that it’s easy to learn and teach.”


    After hearing Fei Qian’s words, Cai Yan didn’t doubt him. After thinking for a moment, he nodded slightly and said, “What my junior brother said seems to make sense... I wonder what kind of article is more appropriate in my junior brother’s mind?”


    "Hmm..." Fei Qian thought for a while, and then said according to the words in the thousand-character text in his memory, "The sky and the earth are dark and yellow, and the universe is primitive. The sun and the moon are waxing and waning, and the stars and constellations are arranged. The cold comes and the summer goes, the autumn harvests and the winter hides..."


    “It sounds good.” Cai Yan smiled, and then urged Fei Qian to continue reading.


    Fei Qian smiled dryly and said sheepishly: "Well...I just said these two sentences..."


    “…” Cai Yan glared at Fei Qian, and then said after a short while, “Okay, I’ll give it a try.”


    Suddenly having something to do next, Cai Yan seemed to have forgotten the sadness just now, and said that he had rested well and was going to Taoshan, otherwise his father would be anxious...


    Fei Qian naturally escorted Cai Yan into the carriage, then got on his horse and followed him to the carriage, heading to the academy together.


    "Junior brother..." Cai Yan suddenly opened the curtain of the carriage slightly, revealing half of his face and said.


    Fei Qian responded, then rode closer: "Sister, what''s the matter?"


    Cai Yan''s eyes seemed to be looking at Fei Qian or looking into the distance through Fei Qian. He seemed a little confused. Something seemed to flash in his eyes. After a long time, he suddenly smiled indifferently, like a spring flower blooming: "You know what? , I have walked this road before..."


    Cai Yan also arrived in Pingyang...


    Um…


    I know what you want to say...


    Well, the weather is not good today...
