Chapter 183 The Book of the Later Han Dynasty

In the Xiangyang post house, Liu Qi came to meet Cai Yan specifically.

The two sat in the courtyard pavilion of the inn. Cai Yan chatted with Liu Qi while cooking tea for him.

Cai Yan is completely opposite to Cai Mi, who is charming and charming, and is also different from Du Yan's woman with pure beauty and graceful figure.

The feeling she gave to Liu Qi was the feeling that only classical women should have in Liu Qi's mind.

He is gentle and generous, with his actions and conversations very appropriately. It seems that every sentence is concerned about the feelings of others. Every sentence and every word he says makes people feel like spring breeze.

Liu Qi knew that to do this, it was not just a high emotional intelligence.

Another very important point is education.

"Last time in the military camp, I met everyone in a hurry and had no deep talk. Qi came to visit today."

Cai Yan chuckled and said, "Yan met with the young master for the first time, but stopped his journey in public. I am really ashamed. Today, when the young master arrived in person, Yan should accuse him of the young master."

Liu Qi waved his hand and said, "You don't have to be so polite, Cai Zhonglang borrowed books from me, Jingzhou. Before Qi gave Cai Zhonglang and Cai Zhonglang to reply, he wanted to make a rash move. It was indeed quite rude. Cai Zhonglang stopped him."

Cai Yan used a long spoon to serve Liu Qi and delivered it to Liu Qi, saying, "Young Master, you don't have to do this. Fortunately, there is a man, father and son who are willing to set up a school in Jingchu, copy the scriptures and write "History of Han", so that scholars in the world can have a Pure Land to study. My father and daughter are a family of scholars, and they should also support the responsibility."

Liu Qi looked at the tea soup delivered to him by Cai Yan, and seemed a little hesitant.

The tea soup in the Han Dynasty was cooked, with oil and salt in it, and the taste was indescribable...

For Liu Qi, drinking tea soup from the Han Dynasty is like drinking Chinese medicine.

But since Cai Yan has handed her tea soup, if she doesn't drink it, it will be a bit rude and she will have to drink a little.

Liu Qi picked up the wine cup and carefully sipped it.

After slapping, Liu Qi was stunned.

There is no odor of oil smoke. Although it is brewing tea, it can vaguely taste some of the original flavor of making tea from later generations.

At least what I drink in my mouth is the qi of plants and trees, not the oil and salt seasoning.

Seeing Liu Qi holding the oak and being a little tragic, Cai Yan couldn't help but say, "Young Master, can't help eating?"

Liu Qi came to his senses, shook his head and said, "No, it's just that the taste...is different from ordinary tea soup."

Cai Yan smiled indifferently and explained: "Yan doesn't like seasoning when making tea, and the taste is light, but others can't get used to it. Yan Jun never eats the tea soup I cook."

"tasty."

Liu Qi blew at the oak, drank it all in one go, and then handed the oak to Cai Yan and said, "Eat another oak."

Cai Yan didn't expect that Liu Qi would support her so much tea soup, and she couldn't help but be stunned.

Looking at Liu Qi's expression, it's not like being fake, but it's like drinking the "light tea" I cooked from the bottom of my heart.

While serving tea soup to Liu Qi, she asked, "Young Master Ju also likes to eat such cooking tea? In Cai Yan's impression, men seem to have a strong taste. Yan Jun usually likes meat with strong wine and salt and oil smoked."

Liu Qi took the cup handed over by Cai Yan, thanked him, and said, "I also like to eat wine and meat, but drinking tea is different from drinking alcohol. Drinking alcohol is about being refreshed, and drinking tea should be elegant. Shennong tastes hundreds of herbs and encounters 72 poisons a day, and gets tea to relieve it... Tea comes from nature in the world, and is born from spiritual energy. Drinking it with your heart can make people sober and calm. Compared with the strongness of wine, tea should be light enough to make people swell their hearts and lungs and wash away the world... Many foods are added to the tea to cover the fragrance of dust with the vulgar taste. Then tea is no longer tea, so what does it taste like to eat?"

Cai Yan sighed secretly when she heard this.

She doesn't like cooking tea and seasoning, she only likes to cook cleanly, but at most it's just taste, but she is as profound as Liu Qi, who has never thought about it carefully.

I didn't expect that in terms of taste, the person who is in common with me would be a man.

Cai Yan picked up the wine cup, drank it, closed his eyes and savored it for a while, and then said, "It's true that it has a little artistic conception as the young master said."

Liu Qi put down his cup of wine: "The Shu people drink more tea, and the best tastes in the world are mostly in the southwest. However, in Jingchu, there is also a place where bitter tea is produced. Can you tell me?"

Cai Yan smiled when he heard this: "Is what the young master said? Is it that Chaling County in Changsha? There are many things in the guise of Tu Mingqi, and Yan admires it very much, but unfortunately he has never had the chance to go there."

Liu Qi smiled and said, "It's not entirely true that I said... In fact, everyone Cai will have a chance to go to Changsha soon."

Cai Yanqi said: "Why did the young master say this?"

Liu Qi took another sip of light tea, and then told Cai Yan about Liu Biao's idea of ​​establishing the Jingnan Academy in Changsha and writing the "Han Ji" in Jingnan.

According to Liu Qi's idea, he thought Cai Yan would have conflicts with going to Jingnan. After all, according to the national conditions of the Han Dynasty, the more she went south after passing the Xiangjiang River, the more she was a region with backward economic and cultural development. Cai Yan was born in Chenliu. It was the place where the world's economy and culture flourished, so how could she be willing to go to the remote Jingnan?

However, Cai Yan's performance exceeded Liu Qi's imagination.

She did not hesitate at all, but instead agreed happily.

She lightly pointed her head and said, "Actually, Yan had known that he could not live in Xiangyang for a long time. After all, the five ances of the Xiangyang Academy were Zhongzi and Guangming. Yan was just a mere woman. How could he teach in the same palace with the two lords? If he could go to Jingnan, he would be able to do so."

Liu Qi asked her tentatively: "Jingzhou is far away from prosperity and is a remote place. Many places are even barren places. Can you feel wronged when you go there to compile the "Han Ji"?"

Cai Yan shook his head and said seriously: "Family Yan and Liu envoys are both famous scholars, but they are deeply involved in the court. They cannot establish education like envoys. This is a pity in life. As the daughter of the Cai family, Yan should uphold the ambition of Yan Jun. How can he be afraid of the narrow region? He can promote civil governance, rituals and music, entertain the hearts of the people in Jingnan, and educate people. It is the responsibility of making the political stability of the southern territory, the customs are pure and beautiful, and the culture and education are brilliant... but it is Cai Yan's ambition."

Liu Qi didn't expect Cai Yan to say such words, and a feeling of appreciation arose in his heart.

He bowed to Cai Yan and said, "It is really a blessing for Liu Qi to be able to go to Jingnan with a female hero like Cai and show his ambitions."

Cai Yan asked, "Young Master is going to Jingnan too?"

While drinking tea, Liu Qi smiled and said, "If Liu Qi doesn't go, just Cai, how can he manage the Changsha official school?"

Cai Yan thought about it carefully and thought that this is indeed the case.

Although he was appointed by Liu Biao's five ances, he had no right to mobilize local funds and his husband to build the Academy, and he was even less able to summon scholars to compile the "Han Ji".

Only Liu Biao and Liu Qi have this ability.

But as the governor of Jingzhou, Liu Biao naturally needed to take charge of Xiangyang and take charge of the overall situation. Although Liu Qi was the governor of Nanyang County, because Wancheng was under Yuan Shu, Liu Qi became a person who had no practice and could walk around at will.

In later generations, Cai Yan was a female professor.

Liu Qi is a member of the board of directors and principal in charge of school operations.

"Since that's the case, I wonder if you are the young master, when will we go to Changsha?"

Liu Qi smiled and said, "When Mr. Yan's memorial to Chang'an is answered, then the process will be completed."

...

Not long after, the Chang'an edict was issued, and Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, was responsible for the general preparation and supplementary collection of the Han Records.

The news spread to various states one after another, attracting the attention of scholars from various states.

The "Han Records" supplemented by Jingchu has to use the masters of classics and historical schools from various schools. The history recorded in the "Han Records" is to a certain extent equivalent to the official historical volume recognized by the Han court. The classics represented by those who can compile will be invisibly recognized by the society as orthodox classics.

Many famous scholars of the Confucianism were eager to try and eager to participate in this major project.

Liu Biao himself was a famous scholar. Since he had assumed the responsibility of re-recording the Han Dynasty, he could not be as simple as picking up people's teeth and placing the Han Dynasty. For him, it was just following the footsteps of his predecessors.

Regarding this matter, Liu Qi once made a pertinent opinion on Liu Biao, which was deeply agreed by Liu Biao.

While summoning talents from various schools of classical learning to compile the "Han Records", Jing Chu can be extended. In addition to the "Han Records", he will create a more accurate, more complex and more comprehensive set of historical dynasties.

Previously, Ban Gu compiled the "Book of Han"...
