Chapter ninety-eight

"Cyan'er, play the guqin for your husband to relieve your boredom, I'm so annoyed."

"Here, I wonder if my husband wants to listen to Yayin, or what he taught to Chan'er... Xinyin?"

The elegant sound refers to the ancient music passed down since the Qin and Han Dynasties, and the new sound refers to the music taught by He Bai in later generations. He Bai saw Diao Chan doing nothing on weekdays and was afraid that she would be bored, so he saw her happy musical instruments and was good at singing and dancing, so he taught her many music from later generations.

Among them are military songs, love songs, folk songs, pop songs, and children's songs. There are only lyrics and singing methods, but no music scores. Unexpectedly, Diao Chan only regained most of the music scores based on He Bai's half-bucket water-style teaching method. Although there are some wrong things, it is already good in general. So when you have time, Diao Chan became He Bai's human-shaped singing stage.

"I'm naturally listening to light music. Here's the guqin song from "City of Sky"."

"Here." Diao Chan adjusted the strings of the piano, cleared her throat, and then began to play the guqin accompaniment, the beauty singing "City of the Sky".

He Bai was paced around the room irritably, with Diao Chan playing the guqin softly beside him, and his clear voice sang moving songs gently, gradually eliminating He Bai's upset.

I have been in Luoyang for a month, but I still can't open my door. It's okay to visit people with unknown names in history, but I often get rejected by people with famous names in history.

Everyone has their own social circle. They are not from their circle. If they have no reputation and no one introduces them, it will be difficult to get their meeting. He Bai could have visited Yuan Shao, but he didn't want to go there like this, otherwise he would have been underestimated by Yuan Shao and others, and he would have really become a person who was catching a knife and holding a halberd.

He Bai then sent someone to buy the golf in Luoyang City and spread his martial arts deeds everywhere. He also used Qin Qiong's name to change it to "Loyalty and righteousness is like Su Wu, making friends with Mengchang, invincible divine fist, double whip general, horses stepped on both sides of Taihang, whipped Baibo Hei Mountain, and Lingling He Bai He Tianming, which shocked half of the sky in Hebei."

However, in a few days, it was said that He Bai abandoned his wife and returned to the country in Youzhou for his loyalty, and was sent to the Wuhuan for his mission to be harmonious with the Han Dynasty. In the west town of Bingzhou, he suppressed the thieves and rebelled against Heishan in the east, defeated tens of thousands of thieves, visited the wise men, and slaughtered the refugees.

He Bai's name in Luoyang City has a name of loyalty and righteousness, and benevolence, but his reputation is still nothing. He originally wanted to copy the famous fu articles from later generations, but in later generations, he could not remember half of the articles. Finally, he took out the vernacular version of "The Goddess of Luo River" he recited when he was pursuing his favorite girl at school.

Because the vernacular version is different from the fu writing at this time, I feel embarrassed to give it a comment. Finally, I took advantage of the excuse of spring outings and posted several pictures in the official pavilion next to the road. I hope someone can see it when he is resting in the pavilion. So he spreads it to ten, and ten hundred are famous all over the world. Although vernacular writing can also make beautiful fu writing, He Bai also became the founder of vernacular writing.

It’s just a pity that more than twenty days have passed, and no one has ever been able to spread the vernacular "The Goddess of Luo River".

He Bai was a little annoyed. How many people who could come to Luoyang to become officials are ignorant people. I am afraid that after reading his handwriting just now, I will not have the desire to continue reading. Even if I don’t dislike my handwriting, I am afraid that I don’t want to read it again when I look at the beginning of the vernacular Chinese. The style is simply wrong.

He Bai thought about it and thought, what else can spread the reputation of literature? It’s not good to write poetry. It’s just a little trick for literati to do it in their spare time. No matter how much poetry is written, it’s not a good idea. It seems that it’s better to write a piece of advice to the court? It must be meaningful and deafening, and it must not offend people too much, and the literary talent must be good.

The counselor's article was helped by Luo Pei to help me polish it and copy it himself. But what was the topic? He Bai became a little irritated again. Finally, I thought about why the Eastern Han Dynasty was chaotic? In addition to politics, there were all kinds of natural disasters. Well, let's take the topic of guarding against natural disasters.

For example, in terms of sanitation and epidemic prevention: pay attention to environmental sanitation and personal hygiene, the "four pests" such as flies, mosquitoes, rats, cockroaches, etc., fasting for scavenger, drinking sewage, cold water, and disinfecting with lime. If there is an epidemic, filial piety cannot be too focused on, and special personnel must be sent to treat it after isolation, etc.

In terms of drought resistance: dig more water wells during drought, build more keel water trucks to draw water, and repair more canals for irrigation and flood discharge. Deepen river channels and strengthen dams during drought, so that they can be safe and worry-free during flooding.

In terms of locust control: Raise more natural enemies of locusts such as chickens and ducks. It is prohibited to worship the locust gods. The locust plague will be together, and the whole nation can resist locusts. When there is no food, locusts can also feed.

In terms of earthquake resistance: build more seismic instruments for Zhang Heng, one per state, preferably one per county. Especially strengthen the treatment after the earthquake. It is best to build charity warehouses in various places, specifically for disaster resistance.

Finally, I thought about it and added a problem of population growth and land merger. The problem of land merger could not be prohibited in ancient times, but the growth of population caused a large number of land lost refugees. If I wanted to completely solve this problem, the answer given by He Bai was to lead the disaster out of the water.

Through continuous foreign wars, if you win, you will take the enemy's land to support the people, and if you lose, you will reduce the population of the people in your country. This is a purely militaristic idea, but it is also a good way to solve the problem of large populations and small land. Even if He Bai is not successful, he must also let the Han people embark on a path of martial arts.

Through Luo Pei's polish, the total number of letters of advice was tens of thousands of words. After He Bai copied it carefully, he went to the Prime Minister's Secretary's Office to submit a letter. This is not a letter of advice for political struggles, but it seems that it will spread. It is also a testimony that he is not just a warrior, but also a good official with political ability.

In less than two days, He Bai's ten thousand words of advice began to spread throughout the court, including ordinary people. Those who first heard it were absolutely deafening and shocked. Legend has it that disasters came from heaven, because the emperor and the court were wrong in their governance, or because the emperor and the three dukes had lost their morality, then something disaster happened.

However, He Bai, the counselor, was not afraid of God's punishment. He wrote a tens of thousands of words of disaster prevention method with the theme of disaster prevention. Looking at He Bai's conclusive expression, it seemed very reasonable and confusing.

This made idealists extremely frightened, especially some famous scholars and great virtues who like to use virtue to advise the emperor to govern, and often use disasters and strange things to accuse the emperor of losing virtue. Now that he has been told by He Bai's disaster prevention letter, disasters and strange things can be prevented and cured, it is not a problem of losing virtue but morality at all, but a major problem of famous scholars and great virtues taking the opportunity to deceive the emperor.

Before the famous scholars and great masters in Luoyang City began to look for He Bai's hair, the ten regular attendants in the palace also came back to their minds. He Bai's letter of advice seemed to be a good idea for the sake of the country. Whether or not to use it in the court or not is He Bai's loyalty.

However, the focus of He Baizhi's letter of advice was to refute the theory of the induction of heaven and man that the great Confucian Dong Zhongshu made in his specific answer to Emperor Wu of Han. He overturned all the idealist theory about the relationship between heaven and man in Confucian theological terms. In particular, it refers to the sympathy between heaven and man. Heaven can influence human affairs, predict disasters and auspiciousness, and human behavior can also overturn all the theories.

This book of advice is no different from a fierce and hard punch for the entire Confucianism that has been "destroying all schools of thought and respecting Confucianism" since "they have deposed all schools of thought and respected Confucianism". But for the Ten Constellations, it is a weapon of killing. If the Ten Constellations use it well, the third party and culprit disaster may come again.

He Bai was unaware of this and was only proud of the circulating letters of advice in the entire Luoyang City. It seemed that he had gained a reputation this time. Even if the "Fu of the Goddess of Luo" was useless, he could still be famous all over the world.

Just as He Bai was happy in the mansion, his housekeeper Gongsun Ju suddenly sent a greeting and invitation, and wrote a letter to Chenliu Cai Boyi. The invitation was to invite the counselor He Tianming to go to Cai's mansion to discuss academic issues with him.

He Bai was startled and happy. Cai Boyi, isn’t this a famous writer and calligrapher Cai Yong? His name finally came to the ears of such celebrities. Invite himself to visit his mansion to discuss academic issues? It seems that this is a book that has become famous. If the answer is good, he can study the classics and articles under Cai Yong’s name, and then use the name of Cai Yong’s disciple to interact with others, it will definitely be extremely smooth.

He Bai was anxiously waiting for the night to come in his mansion until halfway through Shenshi. He did not take any followers, so he left the mansion and rode his horse to look at Cai's mansion. Cai's mansion was south of Luoyang City. According to the invitation, it was only three or four miles away from He Bai's mansion, and it took only ten minutes to ride a horse.

Luoyang City is a metropolis with a population of more than 300,000 in this world. In addition to the Yin area in Henan, it has a population of one million. The city walls are more than nine miles from north to south and six miles from east to west. But in later generations, this is only the area of ​​a county town. It is quite majestic to others, but for He Bai, except for the ancient style and taste, there is nothing else, but the most important thing is that the land is narrower and more people are.

The Cai Mansion is just a small courtyard in a group of officials living in the official residence, with only about 200 square meters, several times smaller than the He Mansion. For those who used to use small rooms in ancient times, this courtyard can accommodate more than a dozen people.

After He Bai dismounted the horse, he tidied up his clothes and then stepped forward and knocked on the empty door. Soon after, an old servant came to greet him, "Is the Lord He Yilang of Lingling?"

He Bai stepped forward and bowed and said, "That's right, I'm not talented and later graduated from He Tianming. At the invitation of Mr. Cai, Mr. Boyi, I came to Cai's Mansion to pay my respects."

The old servant also bowed deeply and said, "Please wait for a while, and Rong Lao Nu went to report to the head of the family and asked the head of the family to come and welcome the guests."

After saying that, he closed the door and turned around and went inside to look for Cai Yong. He Bai shook his head with a wry smile. It was so troublesome to interact with scholars. He was polite in everything. If he was rude, he wouldn't let you get started. If he was in the future, how could the guests wait outside the door?
