In Yanshi, forty miles away from Luoyang, Liu Xiu saw the logo of Luoyang City: a gate, even if it is so far away, he can still feel its majestic and magnificent.

"That's Zhuqueque in Beigong." Lu Min stood up in the car, looked at Zhuqueque, and let out a long sigh: "When I first came to Luoyang with my father, I was stunned by it. I didn't say anything for a long time, and I was very funny."

Liu Xiu couldn't help but stick out his tongue and looked at the marvelous city like a dragon in the distance, feeling deeply moved. He didn't know if Luoyang City is the largest city in the world now, but he knew that it was at least one of the largest cities. He had used to seeing big cities in his previous life and never looked at the city of this era. Zhuo City was about eight miles in circumference, so it was naturally not worth mentioning. In comparison, Handan was much larger than Zhuo City, with a circumference of about twenty miles. However, Liu Xiu had no reaction to the scale except for the real authentic city wall. The first is that Handan has no tall buildings, and the tallest one is the city tower on the city wall. It was only five or six stories high. Compared with the buildings that were more than ten or dozens of floors in the previous life, it was really not majestic.

To put it bluntly, the office buildings of some town governments in the Tianchao are more majestic than the Handan City Gate Tower.

But when he saw Luoyang City, his disdain faded a lot.

Luoyang City still does not have too many high-rise buildings and still does not have the style of a modern city. However, when the city quietly lie down there, it shows a shocking power, a great demeanor of a great country, and a confidence and arrogance that looks down on the world.

Great and majestic city!

Liu Xiu sighed and became a little anxious inexplicably. He didn't know how many years it was the Yellow Turban Uprising, nor how many years it was there for Dong Zhuo to enter Beijing, but he knew that it would definitely not be too far away. Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, and the eighteen princes of Shandong attacked Dong, Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an, burning Luoyang into ruins. The Luoyang City, which seemed to never fall, disappeared from the long river of history. With the fire ignited by Dong Zhuo, the Han Dynasty, which had been more than 400 years, became history, and countless creatures were wailing in this war that lasted for decades.

I was really watching this, just caring about running away? Facing Luoyang City, Liu Xiu had questions about his plan for the first time.

"A few more frontiers come." Several pedestrians were laughing and passing by them, their words revealing the unique atmosphere and pride of the Kyoto people.

"Nothing is strange. Who made Luoyang City the only one in the world?" An old man wearing a scarf next to him smiled and looked at Liu Xiu and others. Seeing Liu Xiu looking at him, he gently raised the dust tail in his hand and nodded with a smile.

He spoke in Luoyang dialect. According to Liu Xiu, this is Henan dialect. When Liu Xiu thought of the situation of Henan people in his previous life, Liu Xiu was filled with emotion. Now Luoyang is the capital, Henan is the capital, and Henan people are the most proud people in the world. Once time passes, Luoyang is no longer the capital, and Henan no longer the capital, and Henan people become blind people. It is synonymous with liars. In fact, by extension, they are also Henan people, and the same is true for Han people. Nowadays, when Han people mention other ethnic groups, they are Hu people and barbarians. Who would have thought that they would become third-class people and fourth-class people in the future? Who would have thought that the Han people would become barbarians?

Not only the Han people, but also the Romans in the West today. They probably wouldn't have thought that one day they would be compared by the Gauls, Anglos, and Germanic people who are still barbarians.

"It's so smug." Mao Zong looked at him disdainfully.

"One day, I will become a Luoyang native." Liu Bei said enviously.

Lu Min couldn't help laughing. He waved his hand and signaled that they didn't need to be excited. He specially called Liu Xiu to the car and asked him to get on the car. Liu Xiu had no choice but to know that he could no longer walk freely when he arrived in Luoyang, so he had to get on the car and sit with him. People these days are more concerned about demeanor and calmness. Even if his mount is majestic, riding a horse is not as good as riding a cattle, even if it is a car pulled by a cattle.

"Deran, we will go to the Taixue in the south of the city later." Lu Min said, "After arriving at the Taixue, you should restrain yourself and not laugh loudly as on the road. Taixue is a place where Han students gather. If you lose your reputation in the Taixue, it will be difficult for you to gain a reputation among the scholars of Luoyang in the future."

Liu Xiu nodded. He knew what Lu Min meant. If you want a smooth career these days, it is very important to seek a good reputation. Think about Cao Cao's head is sharp and he has to mingle with Yuan Shao and the others. He forced Xu Shao to give a comment with a knife.

Lu Min looked at him and was still a little worried, and then reminded him: "When you arrive in Luoyang, especially after you arrive at the Imperial Academy, don't show your favorability to Duan Bing."

"Why?" Liu Xiu was stunned, and then understood: "Oh, I understand. He is a warrior and is also a member of the eunuch."

Lu Min smiled bitterly: "Not only that, he has the worst impression in the eyes of Tai students. There is another reason. In the first year of Xiping, Empress Hengsi Dou collapsed, and Eunuch Cao Jie and others wanted to bury him with the etiquette of noble people. Someone left words on the Zhuque Palace to tell the story of the eunuch and the government was in trouble for Empress Huan Si Dou. Eunuch and Eunuch were angry and forced the Sili Captain Liu Meng to arrest the person who wrote the letter. Liu Meng thought this was right and refused to pursue it with all his heart.

It took more than a month to arrest anyone because he didn't want to arrest him. The eunuch turned Liu Meng left to the counselor, and let Duan Jing, who was still the chief censor at the time, become the captain of the Sili School. Duan Jing went out to arrest him as soon as he took office, arrested many people, and finally even led his troops to the Imperial Academy to arrest thousands of Imperial Academy. The Imperial Academy is a holy place in the minds of scholars all over the world. He actually... actually led troops to arrest people. Do you think the Imperial Academy can have a good impression of him?"

Liu Xiu was shocked. Duan Feng had such a relationship. No wonder his reputation was worse than anyone else. Even Xia Yu and other old subordinates were despised. Zhao Yun and Zhang He were afraid that they would not be able to avoid Xia Yu. As soon as Lu Min resigned, they immediately left. Even if they had no official position, they would not be willing to join Xia Yu.

It turns out that this is the reason.

"Thank you for your reminder, I understand." Liu Xiu smiled bitterly, called Liu Bei and others to the front, and gave a few instructions one by one. Liu Bei and others also looked at each other.

The Taixue School is located in the south of the city, next to it, and is a major ritual area of ​​the Han Dynasty. The Taixue School is large in scale, with a circumference of more than 500 steps. It is simply a small town with walls around it, with one door in the middle of the wall, and a gate in front of the door, with extraordinary weather. When the Taixue School was at its peak, there were more than 30,000 Tai students. Of course, these more than 30,000 people could not all live in the Taixue School. Many people use farmhouses or inns outside, plus the markets and other supporting facilities serving these people, the scale is no less than a large county, which shows its prosperity.

There was still more than a mile away from the Imperial Academy, and Liu Xiu and his team could not enter the carriages and horses. The road was blocked by the carriages and horses, leaving only a walking space in the middle. Most of the people coming and going were scholars with wide clothes and crowns, each with their heads raised, confident and calm, some were joking loudly, some were soft and manic, and some were dressed simply, with Jian Ce in their hands, and passed by thoughtfully, but most of them were still talking big, as if no one was around, and they were no different from college students who were in love in their previous university and were studying as a secondary subject.

"Why are there so many people?" Liu Xiu grabbed a passing student and asked. This man was about forty years old. He was wearing a somewhat shabby dress, with a thin face, and looked malnourished. He heard Liu Xiu ask him, and he made some impatience. He didn't want to pay attention to Liu Xiu, but later he found that he was no match for Liu Xiu at all. If he didn't answer the question, he probably couldn't get rid of it. Then he said angrily: "It's not the Shi Jing that's the Shi Jing that's all here to spread the Shi Jing that blocked the road. It's really annoying."

Liu Xiu then realized that the reason why Lu Zhi closed the Taogu Jingshe and hurried back to the capital was because the Imperial Academy established the Stone Sutra, and as a great scholar, he failed to attend a grand event, so he rushed to the scene as soon as he received a letter from Cai Yong.

It's been so lively after so long? He scratched his head and felt a little surprised. In fact, this is normal. There is no printing technology these days, and books are spreading, so there are inevitably mistakes in copying. If you copy them over and over again, the more mistakes you make, you naturally accumulate more and more mistakes. Now you have to rely on knowledge when you enter the officialdom. If the textbooks you use are wrong, it will be expected to be embarrassing in the future. Now that you have official textbooks, of course, you have to take a look if you have the conditions. It is best to take a copy and take it back.

Damn, if I open a printing shop now, just like the wholesale textbooks of Xinhua Bookstore in my previous life, wouldn’t it be released? Liu Xiu suddenly came up with a plan. Not to mention anything else, just the tens of thousands of students in Taixue will be a customer group that cannot be ignored.

While thinking about opening a printing shop, Liu Xiu patiently squeezed forward with Lu Min and others. After a long time of hard work, he finally entered the Taixue School. As soon as he entered the Taixue School, he was immediately a little grateful. Originally, he felt that the outside of the Taixue School was already crowded enough, but when he saw the crowded atmosphere inside the Taixue School, he realized that it was quite relaxed outside.

You must open a printing shop, this is a matter of money. Liu Xiu laughed twice.

"Deran, why are you smirking?" Mao Qian came to the Central Plains from the northern border. He had already dressed a little more, but after squeezed so far, he was so hot that he was sweating all over. Suddenly, when he heard Liu Xiu's laughter, his whole body suddenly became cold, as if he had swallowed an ice cube.

"It's nothing, I suddenly thought of a way of wealth." Liu Xiu squeezed his eyes and said temptingly: "Are you interested in joining the company?"

"Finance enchantment." Mao Qian curled his lips disdainfully: "In a place like Taixue, I don't want to study hard and get into an official position, but I still want money. You are really out of salvation."

"Indeed, I think he is helpless." Mao Zong and others quickly put down the wrongdoing and expressed their contempt for Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu rolled his eyes and said, "Pretend, when I get rich and you want to benefit from it, I will ignore you."

"And—" Mao Zong dragged his voice long and looked at it disdainfully.

"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you." Liu Xiu shrugged, rushed over a few steps, and chased behind Lu Min. Lu Min looked at the crowd of people next to the stone scripture, and was also a little jealous, but he still knew his business. "Deran, I'll go find sir, you and Ah Qian are waiting here, watch out, don't let them cause trouble."

"Oh, go, don't worry if I'm here." Liu Xiu patted his chest and responded righteously.

Mao Zong curled his lips, "You are the one who causes trouble the most."

Liu Xiu was a little angry and pointed at Mao Zong's nose and shouted: "If you talk nonsense, don't blame me for revealing your true feelings."

Mao Zong was guilty and did not dare to talk more. He shrank his neck and pulled Liu Bei and Zhang Fei to read the Stone Sutra. Although Mao Qian was generous, he was a woman after all, and it was a bit inconvenient to let her squeeze together with a group of men to read the Stone Sutra. Liu Xiu had to stand by her with aside, chatting about gossip. Liu Xiu wanted to talk to her about opening a bookstore, but Mao Qian felt that Lu Min was about to become an official and left a talk to others at the business meeting. He was not interested in this topic, so Liu Xiu had to complain a few words in his own heart, keeping it for himself to make a fortune in the future.

Liu Xiuzheng looked at the lecture hall in the Central Committee of the Imperial Academy and guessed whether the lecture hall was as big as the school auditorium. Suddenly, there was a noise from the stone scriptures, and several people pushed and rushed, as if there was a dispute. Liu Xiu glanced at it and didn't take it seriously, but Mao Qian pulled him, "Deran, it seems that Chengming and the others have a quarrel."

Liu Xiu looked carefully. Sure enough, Mao Zong and the other two were surrounded by more than a dozen scholars, pushing each other around, their faces turned red. Zhang Fei stared at his eyes and clenched his fists to beat him up, but was pulled tightly by Liu Bei. It seemed that when he arrived in Luoyang, everyone was a little restrained, and even Liu Bei, who was usually brave and fierce, became careful.

"Stand here and don't move, I'll go and see." Liu Xiu quickly invited Mao to the side and rushed over in three steps.

"Sir, come and judge." Zhang Fei, who was already on the verge of storm, immediately shouted loudly when he saw Liu Xiu.

"Oh, the student is not good, sir is out." A scholar in his thirties and forties, wearing a Confucian shirt waved his hand, and the people around him immediately dispersed, allowing Liu Xiu to walk in. Liu Xiu laughed, bowed to him, pulled Zhang Fei and whispered: "What's going on? Didn't you tell you to be careful? This is the only thing that has happened, and you will start arguing with others?"

"Brother, you can't blame Yide, that man is so angry. We just squeezed him for a moment, and he said we were savages."

"Savage?" Liu Xiu became popular, and he was still a knowledgeable person. How could he hurt people if he spoke?

"Well, Yide retorted a few words, but we can't tell him." Liu Bei said ashamed, his eyes were full of annoyance, and it seemed that he had accumulated a lot of resentment. If he hadn't just arrived in Luoyang and was unfamiliar with the place, he would have probably broken the boy's stinky mouth. In the early days of Hu City, Ningcheng, he had a dispute because he saw the wind and snow angered Dou Hua.

"This gentleman..." The scholar reached out and patted Liu Xiu on the shoulder with smugness, deliberately stretching the word "sir" for a very long time. "Can I ask you a few questions?"

Liu Xiu's face sank, turned his head, looked at his white and delicate pair, and at a glance he knew that he had never held anything except the pen, and said slowly: "Please respect yourself, this girl, the saint's classics are in front of you. Don't you know the saying "Men and women will not kiss each other"?"

The man was stunned and then chuckled softly, shaking his head while laughing: "Sir, are you not looking good? I am not a girl, I am a student, these are my classmates, and they can prove to me that I am an absolute man."

The people next to him also laughed, and Liu Bei and others suddenly turned dark, thinking that they were waiting for Liu Xiu to rescue him, but they never thought that Liu Xiu would say the wrong thing just as soon as he opened his mouth.

Liu Xiu turned around, looked up and down for a moment, touched the back of his head, and said in surprise: "Man? No, I see that you have red lips and white teeth, and you will have fragrant powder. The fragrance is not exactly a handsome girl, how could it be a man?"

The man smiled proudly, and the pink on his face tended to fall, which made Liu Xiu feel disgusted. In fact, he also knew that men in this dynasty had the habit of applying powder, and in the next ten years, the feminine vulgarity of this man would become more and more intense. Although this guy in front of him was nearly forty years and had crow's feet at the corners of his eyes, he not only dressed up like a woman, but also spoke a little sissy, which made him very unhappy. In addition, he said that Zhang Fei and others were savages, and he would not speak a few words, which would be unreasonable.

"Sir, I'm a bearded man."

Liu Xiu smiled secretly, what you said was your words. "A man with a beard?" He touched his mouth and looked up and down twice, "I saw the eyebrow, where is your beard? Could it be... that... that... that?"

He spoke hesitantly, but the meaning in his words was obvious. The person next to him looked at the man's naked chin and understood what Liu Xiu meant. A few couldn't help laughing out loud. Only then did Zhang Fei and Mao Zong understand what Liu Xiu meant and immediately burst into laughter.

"So he's a castrator, hahaha..."

"You..." The man was furious and blushed and cursed loudly: "Where did the savage come from? How dare you hurt people at the Taixue exit? Do you think this is a wilderness? This is where my great man elites are."

"The Taixue is the elite. Can it prove that you are not... that?" Liu Xiu said slowly, glanced at the man's lower body with malicious intentions. The man was shocked, afraid that Liu Xiu would lift his clothes and cover him instinctively. Then he realized that this seemed to be more misunderstood. He was so angry that he trembled all over, "You...you..."

Liu Xiu shrugged and became more calm: "What's wrong with me? Is my beard really true? Do you want to try it?"

The man was crazy. He was born with a white face and almost no beard. He originally regarded this as a good thing, which made him look even more handsome. He didn't expect that he would be treated as a castration by a savage today. The one he scolded most often was castration. When he thought that he was a bit like those people, it was even more uncomfortable than eating flies.

"Don't talk nonsense." He shouted loudly, suppressed the laughter around him, strode to the stone scriptures, pointed to the scriptures above and said, "This is in the Imperial Academy, don't just talk. When we take the school and take the school scriptures, you must be able to recognize the source of a few scriptures and explain them correctly. I will take back the words of the savages and apologize to you in front of everyone." He glanced around and clasped his fists and said, "Please testify."

In ancient and modern times, there are many people who are afraid that the world will not be in chaos. Before they finished speaking, someone replied loudly: "Let's testify."

When he heard this, Liu Bei and others looked at each other, and the smiles on their faces became a little embarrassed. They turned around and wanted to leave, but were stopped by the people around them and could not escape.
