System: I let you have children, not fight for hegemony

Chapter 13 Guan Chengzi

"Prime Minister Chen, Chen Xin! Come quickly!" Seeing the Chen brothers arriving in time, Xu Xing breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ms. Jun, the Chen family brothers once studied under the great Confucian Chen Liang, and later abandoned Confucianism to study agriculture. They are best at dealing with pests!" Xu Xing gave detailed introductions to many fish.

Many fishes were enthusiastic and welcomed the arrival of the Chen brothers: "Master Xu takes the decision on all agricultural matters. You can show off your talents."

Chen Xiang was very excited and asked: "Greetings to the female monarch. Does the female monarch mean that this land is managed by the master?"

"That's what it means."

The Chen brothers bowed deeply: "I am willing to serve the Lord!"

Since the last Peasant-Confucian Debate, Xu Xing has been scolded as a Southern barbarian, and Peasantism has been suppressed everywhere.

Although the peasants were expelled from the land and were promoted to agricultural officials, most of the land belonged to the nobles and their usefulness was not obvious.

Nowadays, many fish are willing to trust them so much, and they also have magical objects. How can the oppressed farmers not take refuge in them?

If the Chen brothers do what they say, they have made great achievements in eliminating pests.

The three members of the farm family stay in the farmland day and night, carefully caring for what God has given them.

Farmers live a simple life, wearing burlap clothes, wandering around and making a living by weaving straw mats and sandals.After receiving Xu Xing's letter, he traveled day and night to the fiefdom and cast many fish.

The reputation value of many fishes finally moved and increased to 50. Although they can't exchange for that item yet, there is a glimmer of hope at least.

Although Xun Shuang had a wide range of interests, he was still a Confucian and disliked farmers.

The farmer and Xun Shuang live in harmony, one on the mountain and the other at the foot of the mountain. The water in the well does not interfere with the water in the river.

But on this day, a group of outsiders broke into the school.

"I am Mao Xuetang's uncle, why don't you let me take the little lady away?!" A man with sunken cheeks and a sallow complexion took Mao Xue's hand.

Mao Xue was thirteen years old. She was very beautiful, intelligent and studious, and was deeply loved by Xun Shuang.

Mao Xue grabbed Xun Shuang's lapel and said in a stern voice: "Teacher, save me! I don't know him!"

Xun Shuang protected Mao Xue and shouted loudly: "Who are you? How dare you be so arrogant in the school? If you want to take away the students, you need the nod of the female monarch."

The man who claimed to be Mao Xue's relative looked like a naughty man, and said, "How can you be a master at such a young age? Could it be that you are a master of sexual intercourse?"

The men and women brought by the man burst into laughter. One of them looked at Mao Xue up and down with lustful eyes.

Xun Shuang was humiliated and his face flushed red, but he had never seen scolding in the countryside since he was a child, so he couldn't refute for a while.

When the other students in the school saw their teacher being humiliated and their classmates being bullied, they raised their fists and swung at the man.

They are both half-grown boys, how can they be the opponents of rogues?He was soon pressed down and beaten.

Xun Shuang was unable to defeat the four palms with his two fists. He was punched in the nose and blood flowed out.

"Who dares to act wild here?!"

With a roar, the farmers on the mountain rushed down the mountain holding their hoes.

Seeing that the situation was reversed in an instant, the crowd dispersed in a hurry, but they were surrounded by many fish and led the soldiers to capture it.

Many fish asked solemnly with serious faces: "Why did you break into the school privately?"

The sallow man knelt down respectfully and said, "Noble sir, it's not because we are making trouble unreasonably. Mao Xue is my niece. She has no relatives, so she should be taken care of by me."

"What evidence?"

"All the villagers can testify!"

Seeing someone coming forward, the villagers chattered.

"exactly."

"Fisting and caring, but he was brutally beaten."

"Mao Xue, are you trying to be a rebellious person?"

Black Dolphin shouted loudly: "Quiet! How can you make a noise in front of a female queen?!"

The villagers bowed their heads and trembled.

According to etiquette, Mao Xue can indeed be taken away by them, but...

Mao Xue kept kowtowing: "Please help me! This man killed my cousin, and he is a gambler. If he wants to take me back this time, he must have evil intentions!"

Xun Shuang's expression changed slightly: "Do you know this person?"

Mao Xue burst into tears and choked with sobs: "I know you."

The man raised his head and said proudly: "Your Majesty, please do it!"

Many fish are reluctant to push Mao Xue into the fire pit, but forcing Mao Xue to stay will bring trouble to the master.Mao Xue sobbed: "Thank you for taking care of me. Thank you for your careful teaching. Snow, I will repay you in the next life!"

After that, Mao Xue sprinted and was about to hit the boulder on the roadside!
"No!" A thin man with a beard and gray hair hugged Mao Xue.

"Xue, uncle is back!" The man's eyes were filled with tears.

Mao Xue opened her teary eyes, looked at the man in front of her carefully, and then cried out in pain: "Uncle! Why did you come back? Aweng died in the battle! My mother was seriously ill and died too!"

"Uncle is late. I am my uncle Mao Xue, Mao Ying." Mao Ying knelt down to worship.

When the villagers saw Mao Ying returning, their heads dropped even lower.

Many fish secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Since you have returned, take Mao Xue home."

"Here."

After this was done, everyone dispersed one by one.

Xun Shuang took the initiative to talk to Xu Xing: "Just now, Duo Xier and others helped me out of righteousness."

Xu Xing was not as eloquent as Xun Shuang thought, but instead was straightforward and straightforward: "When the road is rough, you should draw your sword to help. Besides, you and I are both serving the Lord and the Queen."

The sun was scorching, and Xu Xing led the farmers up the mountain to cultivate.

Xun Shuang stood there with confusion in his eyes.Everyone in the world has a Tao, the Tao of survival, the Tao of farming and warfare, Confucianism and Taoism...

Where is my own way?
"What are you doing standing here stupidly?" Many fishes were anxious to return to the military camp.

"Seek the way."

It sounds difficult, and many fish asked: "Have you found it?"

"No."

"Go on, I'll go first."

Looking at the retreating figures of many fish, Xun Shuang asked loudly: "Little lady, do you have your own way?"

Many fish turned around and thought for a moment: "The world is unified, and all the people are united. The people live and work in peace and contentment, and the country is prosperous."

"How does the young lady plan to realize her vision? Confucianism, Mohism, or peasantry?"

Many fish looked at it firmly: "Someone once said, it doesn't matter whether it's a black cat or a white cat, the cat that can catch mice is a good cat. The same is true for me. Confucianism and Mohism, as long as it can be used."

Xun Shuang was even more confused.

Many fish gave advice: "You must first set a goal and then find the way."

Xun Shuang was thoughtful.

As the sun set, many fish returned to the house. Mao Ying and Mao Xue waited outside the gate for a long time.

"Meet the lady."

Many fish were surprised: "Why don't you go home? But you are in trouble?"

Could it be that the villagers are causing trouble?
Mao Ying handed over something with both hands: "The lady has taken care of her, but Ying has no way to repay her. This small object is the result of Ying's many years of learning. I sincerely offer it to you!"

Many fish opened the wooden box, and there was a writing brush lying inside!
Use dead wood as the tube, deer hair as the pillars, and wool as the quilt.

Many fish looked confused: "What is this thing?"

Mao Ying's eyes were fiery and she said proudly: "Famous dragon bearded friend!"

Zhao Zheng, who was about to go out, was delighted when he saw Lie Xin: "Why don't you let me give it a try?"

"good."

Zhao Zheng spread out the blank bamboo slips, dipped his pen in ink, and wrote like flowing water: "Great kindness! Mao Ying is a genius!"

Mao Ying is very happy, thank you.

Many fish thought: "Mr. Mao Lang, what are your plans? Return to your hometown to work in farming?"

Mao Ying understood the idea and took the initiative to follow suit: "Ying has been curious about prostitution techniques since she was a child. She traveled away from home and studied hard. If the female monarch does not dislike it, Ying is willing to bring her family and become her disciple."

"With your help, Azheng and I will be as powerful as a tiger!"

Since she was one of her own, many fish told Mao Ying the performance and shape of future generations' writing brushes without politeness.

Mao Ying humbly asked for advice, and after receiving a few words, she wrote behind closed doors.

　Han Yu's "The Biography of Mao Ying" of the Tang Dynasty mentioned that Meng Tian attacked Zhongshan and captured Mao Ying. Qin Shihuang favored her and named Mao Ying "Guanchengzi".Later generations used "Mao Ying" and "Guan Chengzi" as the nicknames for the pen.In addition, the aliases of the writing brush include "Mao Zhuzi", "Zhongshu Jun", "Dragon Xuyou", "Pointed Slave", etc.
