"What?" Xia Wan was stunned for a moment before frowning." I'm naturally learning the path of sages!”
"Heh, what a great Sage Path! Counselor Xia, let me ask you,'If the four bodies are not diligent and the five grains are not divided, who is the teacher?'”
Xia Wan was stunned because this sentence was indeed from the Analects of Confucius. Although it wasn't said by Confucius himself, the fact that it was recorded in the Analects of Confucius itself explained the problem.
He was stunned for a while before he angrily said,"You're sophistry!" Preposterous!"
With that, he flicked his sleeves and left.
Seeing Lu Peng shake his head and sneer, Xun You stood up and said,""County Magistrate Lu, I'm willing to do it."
"Thank you, Assistant Minister Xun."
The labor medal was carved out of wood. After all, it was difficult to start a business, so everything was simple.
Xun You handed the medals and money to the ten farmers with a smile on his face.
Lu Peng secretly nodded his head as he watched. This was a cultured scholar. As expected of a disciple of the Xun family. He was a hundred times stronger than Xia Wan.
After giving out the prizes, Lu Peng announced that the last event would be a wrestling competition.
The so-called wrestling competition was the sports meet he had envisioned. He would change the name later.
There were three projects for the first year: Sprinting, tug-of-war, wrestling. The three sports had a long history and had existed for a long time. They did not seem out of place and could arouse the interest of the public.
In the afternoon, a tug-of-war competition was held. The members of the competition were selected from the eight groups that had been divided during the distribution of food. The onlookers had a sense of belonging and participation. They cheered loudly and cheered hard. The atmosphere was extremely lively.
When the champion was finally decided, the cheers from the audience reached their peak. The young men who had won the championship stood on the stage. Everyone was excited and their faces were red.
Xun You looked solemn and thoughtful.
At first, he thought that County Magistrate Lu was being ridiculous, but the more he looked at him, the more shocked he became. He felt that his every move had a deep meaning and left a deep impression on him.
On the second day, the response of the two competitions was even more enthusiastic. The entire Yangquan City was immersed in the revelry of the harvest and the grand event. Many people had never been so happy since they were born.
Lu Peng, on the other hand, shook his head as he watched. It was too crude. This sprinting champion had actually thrown someone with straw sandals before the finish line, scaring his competitor before he took the opportunity to overtake him. This guy was still so proud of himself, bragging about his wisdom and bravery, and a bunch of people were actually admiring him.
In the next competition, there had to be a referee and a system. It had to be able to attract people's attention and also drive economic circulation.
As he pondered in his heart, Xun You stared at him from the side for a while before walking over and bowing deeply,""May I ask if County Magistrate Lu is from a family of generals?”
"Generals?" Lu Peng looked at him strangely and shook his head." No, I was born into a commoner's family.”
Xun You had not seen Lu Peng's methods of governance. From what he had seen and heard, he felt that this county magistrate was popular and was good at encouraging people. This event also had the style of a military strategist. Therefore, he had such a guess. He could not help but be puzzled when he heard this.
Lu Peng stood up and invited Xun You to a quiet place. He smiled and said,""Mister Gongda, forgive me for not being able to obey the Great General's conscription.”
Xun You nodded. Seeing his reputation here, he knew that he wouldn't accept this order. Regardless of his background, his ambition was definitely not small.
Lu Peng stared at him and slowly said,"Mr. Gongda has been in the capital for a long time. I think he knows the situation in the capital better than me." However, a wise man may make a mistake. What does Sir think of the current situation in the court?”
"What do you mean, Magistrate Lu?" Xun You frowned.”
"Ha, to be honest with you, Mister Gongda, from what I see, the court seems to be stabilizing, but in reality, it's in danger. Now that the Emperor is seriously ill, once something goes wrong, the Great General will definitely fight with the chamberlain. With this person's ability, I'm afraid it will be difficult to stabilize the court. Moreover, he had Yuan Benchu and Yuan Gonglu by his side, so why would he worry about the world not being in chaos?”
Xun You was dumbfounded. What the hell? You are just a small county magistrate, how can you say such bold words to me, the Great General's envoy? Let's not talk about whether it makes sense or not. What do you mean by that?
He immediately became alert. He looked around and said indifferently,"You don't understand what County Magistrate Lu means."
Lu Peng shook his head and smiled." I'll be frank. Xun Gongda, what do you think of my future?" How about following me?"
Xun You almost couldn't believe his ears and only came back to his senses after a while.
Xun You's official position was now the assistant minister of the Yellow Gate, which was several levels higher than this small county magistrate. Moreover, he was the man of the Great General He Jin, who was below one person and above ten thousand people!
This small county magistrate actually poached the general's men? There was actually such an awesome person in this world! Xun You couldn't help but be stunned.
"Mr. Gongda, please take my words to heart for the time being. Perhaps we will meet again next year at this time.”Lu Peng smiled meaningfully.
There were dates and there were no dates. Talents were rare, so she had to add some fuel to his heart. Perhaps when he saw Dong Zhuo being so cruel, he would really come and seek refuge with him.
