Fall In Love with the Technology Tree - Chapter 157

      The natural and man-made threats are superimposed on each other, weaving into a giant net, which faintly compels Xuxian Academy, a newly born palace of knowledge.

    Only, all threats died down the moment they met that person.

    “An.” Ah Sheng smiled slightly, “I heard there are scholars giving lectures today?”

    Cai Yong almost trotted to her: “Exactly. In the third round of lots this afternoon, Zheng Zuo was drawn. He is a fourth-class student from the Fajia family.”

    “Yeah.” Ah Sheng nodded, followed Cai Yong’s footsteps, walked to the mat closest to the gate and sat down, “It’s me who disturbed you. Don’t worry if you continue. Me.” As if it was her sudden appearance that interrupted Zheng Chu’s lecture.

    “Oh, ah?” Mr. Cai was at a loss.

    A Sheng’s black and white eyes are curved, and they are full of unmoving peace.

    “Oh—” Cai Yong then reacted: What does Liu Bei do outside the door? No one stipulated that he had to give Liu Bei an answer immediately. It was supposed to be the time for “Lumingtai Lectures”, but it turned out to be a quarrel with the prefect of the school, and the speaker instead begged for mercy on the stage, what is the dignity of “Lumingtai”? What is the dignity of academics?

      If you have time, I will compensate you for two quarters of an hour, and the show will end at a quarter of noon. Zheng Sheng, what do you think?”

    Zheng Chu’s brain has been turned into tofu by the changing situation, he got up from the steps in a daze, and said hello in a daze.

    Cai Yong let out a long sigh of relief: “In that case, let’s continue. Zheng Sheng has just finished his round of lectures, do you have anything to refute?”

    With the scale of the school today, there are not a few cultural people who respond quickly. Immediately, a student from the Guliang School of Confucianism raised his arms and shouted, “I’ll come first. Dare to ask Zheng Sheng, if he gave birth to a child by mistake, why would Qi Huan and Goujian encourage fertility and dominate the world? (Note [1]

    Similar questions, Zheng Zuo was asked many times when he was sitting on the bench. If he could easily be questioned, he would not be a famous madman. “Qi and Yue, they dominate the world with one country, and they are exhausted. Even if production is encouraged, it is a blessing for a man to leave a son and a half daughter before he dies in battle. Where is the hidden danger of a hundred sons and a thousand grandchildren?”

    “So…”

    In this way, the off-track discussion became heated again, and the words were provoked on and off the stage, as if the sword had never happened. The soldiers looked at each other outside, neither advancing nor retreating. Zhang Fei was uneasy, and rubbed in front of Liu Bei: “Big brother?”

    Liu Bei knew that he had nothing to do today, and he seemed to annoy Cao Sheng, how could he have seen her act like this before. “How arrogant…” he sighed softly. However, the interjection just started, and a head guard in black came to pass the message.

    “Liu Taishou, General Zhang. The lord asked if the two of you were here to listen, and she left a few cases for the two of you.”

    Yes, the hard steps are coming up.

    Liu Bei looked at the bewildered soldiers and forced a smile: “Since Duke Zhonghua has come to invite, let’s go. It’s just me soldiers…General, look…”

    “You are also loyal to your duties, and you have worked hard for a trip,” the guard in black was neither arrogant nor humble, “The lord ordered the concierge of the school to prepare herbal tea for you to relieve the heat. Today’s Dragon Boat Festival will be distributed later. Bean dumplings, everyone has a share.”

    “Phew—” The big guy let out a sigh of relief and looked at Liu Bei eagerly. Some people even whispered: “If there is any misunderstanding, the lord and Zhong Huagong will talk about it and it will be fine.” “Yeah, yes, a poor family scholar, why should he mobilize the army to arrest him, the lord is sincere.”

    Liu Bei: … “You guys go.” The liver hurts, a group of simple-minded reckless people, hurry up and hurry up. At times like this, he lamented that he was missing someone under his command. Lack of counselors. The kind that is highly politically sensitive and can work with him. Fighting alone and encountering a monster like the Cao brothers is really a life-saver.

    However, now, Liu Bei has to be strong enough to meet the person who let him lose his life.

    Cao Sheng is older than him and is thirty-seven years old this year. She was well maintained, and at first glance she still looked in her twenties, but all the baby fat on her cheeks had been shaved off. Compared with the loving kindness when she first met, she was even more beautiful and more aggressive, and even Liu Bei gave birth to A feeling of not being able to look directly.

    “Prince Zhonghua…” Liu Bei alternately placed his hands in front of him and bowed deeply.

    Separated by two small tables, the woman smiled in return, and then made a silent gesture. Liu Bei had no choice but to shut up and follow her gaze to Lumingtai, who was arguing fiercely.

    The people who questioned Zheng Chu went forward, from history to morality, from debate to practical. For example, the medical student who is talking now: “Zheng Sheng, do you know how many people died in the two great epidemics during Emperor Huan’s reign? Famine, drought, insect plague, and how many people died of starvation? Having twenty-five grandchildren is just your imagination. How many small farmers can do it in reality? I came from a plague prevention background. I was taught a sentence on the first day of entry, and I gave it to Zheng Sheng today: Putting aside the data and talking about the population, it’s all hooligans.”

    Hearing this, Ah Sheng let out a chuckle.

    Zhang Fei pouted his lips disdainfully: “This is a fallacy and heresy, I can shut him up with my fists, how can I use Duke Zhonghua’s master?”

      Only then did I know you were wronged.”

      No chance at all. What’s more, Guan Yu was taken to the front line by Cao Cao, not to mention how uncomfortable Cao Cao’s hand made Liu Bei. Let’s run, the brothers are still in the hands of others; stay obediently, but not reconciled.

    The word “grievance” can speak to the heart of the heart, and Zhang Fei’s eyes are hot when he hears it: “It’s still Zhonghua Gongming.”

    Liu Bei burst into tears, looking like he was moved home: “Zhonghua, my heart is depressed…”

    “I am the host at noon today. It just so happens that a batch of spices has arrived from the south, and I invite Xuande to comment.” After she said this promise, she stopped talking and concentrated on listening to the debate on the stage. The debate between the pros and cons gradually came to an end. Zheng Zuo had already set up a flag, saying that he was going to conduct a population census and would fight again in a few years; the scholars on the opposing side rejoiced and raised their eyebrows, as if they had won a big victory. But in private, there are still some people who are muttering in their hearts, if there are no wars and plagues in a peaceful year, is it necessary to control the population? The lack of land and people is indeed a problem.

    Cai Yong, wearing a wine sacrificial uniform, held a brush and a bamboo board, and walked respectfully to Ah Sheng’s seat. “Today’s third session has been discussed. Does Duke Zhonghua have any comments on Zheng Sheng’s theory?”

    In an instant, the students who had just returned from worry and joy all restrained the expressions on their faces, and turned their ears in this direction to listen.

    A Sheng stood up and greeted the surroundings first. The thin figure was shrouded in the near-noon sun, so white that it was a little unreal. “I deny that truth cannot be turned into error; I admit, that error cannot be turned into truth. Removing falsehood and preserving truth and seeking common ground while reserving differences are the thoughts and exchanges of all the lords, not my own speech. What I can do for you,” She paused and looked around, “When I asked Duke Cai to serve as a sacrificial wine, I promised him that in the school, I would not be punished by words. I reiterate this statement today and share my encouragement with you.”

    The crowd was confused, the crowd was silent, and the crowd burst into cheers.

    Only then did Zheng Chu realize what a cruel fate he had just escaped from. He quickly ran down the Luming Terrace and kept kowtowing in the direction of Ah Sheng, his tears filled with smiles.

    Liu Bei closed his eyes and laughed along with the crowd, with a wry smile. He seems to have made an assist, helping Cao Sheng push his prestige to a new peak. But what can he do? The feeling of oppression from the woman standing under the scorching May sun and chuckling was so intense that since her appearance, the situation has been completely out of control.

    Fate is always harsh on him Liu Bei, this is the reality. Fortunately, God did not leave him no chance at all. There was an incense tasting meeting at noon, and even Cao Sheng had to make up for the loss of Yingchuan’s prefect’s face.

    The author has something to say:
