Chen Jin's marriage came to an end. After the young couple lived in Luoyang for more than a month, they went to Shouchun to take office. Chen Jin's identity has been exposed, but now Chen Jin has proven his ability. Now he is serving as the prefect, although he is not old enough.

, suspected of having insufficient qualifications, but he went to a place like Jiujiang where there are many weapons and wars. Although hundreds of officials in the court complained, it was not easy to stop him.

Chen Mo is now in his prime, but the second generation of the Chen family has also begun to show great talents. Not only is the eldest son Chen Jin both wise and brave, but the second son Chen Zheng is also unparalleled in bravery. This makes many political opponents who are hiding in the dark feel helpless and don't know what to say about Chen Mo.

Is it a good way to raise a child, or should I say that Chen Mo will give birth to a son?

But whether Chen Mo's position is becoming more stable or the Chen family has many outstanding people, it is not a good thing for those who stand opposite Chen Mo.

In the 14th year of the Han Dynasty, due to the civil war caused by books, Chen Jin recaptured Hefei and married the daughter of the Bu family. However, it was not that eye-catching. After all, for people who did not understand military affairs, Hefei was just Jiujiang County.

It's just a county town, not even a county town. What's so special about building such a city? As for Chen Jin's marriage, it's just a Jiangdong nobleman. He has no foundation in the Central Plains, and there is no need to worry about the other party.

How awesome.

The new year has passed, and the time has come to the fifteenth year of the Han Dynasty. I don’t know when it started. Time seems to have become faster. For Chen Mo, it seems that he doesn’t feel much. Time slips away so quietly, as if he has done something.

A lot of things, but nothing seems to have happened.

"Husband, what are you looking at?" Cai Yan was wrapped in a quilt, and her white jade jade sticks out from the quilt to help Chen Mo tidy up his clothes. She couldn't help but reveal a bit of spring. Seeing Chen Mo staring at her so straightly, even though they were an old couple,

Still a little shy.

"I see Madam is still so charming." Chen Mo said with a smile, but in his heart he felt that time makes people grow old. The young and beautiful girl in the past has unknowingly become a woman who still has charm. Although it still makes people feel comfortable to look at it.

, but the crow's feet at the corners of the eyes made Chen Mo feel a little distressed. He stretched out his hand to touch his wife's face. Chen Mo's voice was a little soft: "Madam, you have been hard at home these years."

"Why did your husband say such words?" Cai Yan didn't understand why Chen Mo suddenly said this. He shook his head and said: "I can be with my husband, and I won't have to suffer."

"When the world is at peace, my husband will take my wife to travel around the thousands of rivers and mountains. The sunrise in the East China Sea and the sunset in the Xiliang Desert have a unique charm. There are many places that I want to take my wife to see with me. My wife can

Are you willing to go with us?" Chen Mo said with a smile.

"Wherever your husband is, I will be there." Cai Yan lowered his head to help Chen Mo tidy up his clothes and said softly.

"Then it's settled." Chen Mo asked Cai Yan to lie down again and said with a smile: "My wife was tired last night, so please continue to rest. My husband will leave first."

"Hmm~" Cai Yan let out a slight sigh as he thought of the lingering night.

Chen Mo smiled, stood up and left.

"After the past two years of preparation, there are now more and more private schools in various states and counties. Some big families in various places have begun to establish their own academies, which has indeed had a certain impact on the three studies. Most of the academies are for concubines or poor families with some connections.

They will also be collected. The proliferation of books has made people no longer thirst for the three studies as before." In the meeting hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Sima Yi helped Chen Mo summarize the changes in the world in the past two years.

Before the proliferation of books, people wanted to learn, and students from poor families could only rely on aristocratic families. Chen Mo founded the Three Schools to give these poor families or the unappreciated common people another path, which can be said to have broken the monopoly of knowledge by some gentry.

status, but now there are so many books, the past days when a book was hard to find are gone forever. With the popularization of printing, you can buy books in decent cities. Although they are more expensive, at least they are

If you can't afford books from bookstores, you can also buy some cheap books from small bookstores. Although the quality is not very good, the content is the same.

As wealthy families began to open their own academies, they also stole some students from the imperial court. Many common people and poor families would naturally choose to study in their own academies or academies that were closely related to their own families.

However, there is only one Taixue family in Luoyang. Every year, officials are dispatched from Taixue, and they are also the only way to go to the official career through the academy. Therefore, these students will eventually gather in Taixue. As long as Taixue is in control of Chen Mo

In his hands, the more academies he builds, the happier Chen Mo is. He is not afraid that these new academies will threaten the three colleges. If one college is not enough, he can build two or three colleges.

"Very good." Chen Mo nodded and smiled: "In this way, we can cultivate more talents for the imperial court. Otherwise, how can we bring all the bachelors in the world back to the imperial court with just three studies?" Chen Mo said with a smile.

"The Prime Minister's magnanimity is rare in ancient and modern times." Sima Yi said with sincere admiration. He is now helping Chen Mo in charge of the statistics of students and outstanding disciples in various academies. He knows very well that in this seemingly aristocratic family regaining the rights of talents, in reality,

Everything above is the result of Chen Mo's secret promotion, and the aristocratic family may benefit, but Chen Mo is the final big winner. If these aristocratic families continue on their current path, they will only cultivate talents while Chen Mo is in office.

Because the final selection of talents does not occur in the Family Academy, but must go through the selection of the Imperial College. As long as he controls this, Chen Mo will be invincible.

"By the way, how is the investigation in Shu?" Chen Mo is not too repelled by this kind of flattery now. Even if he knows that the other person is flattering, he can't punish him just because he said good things, right? Keeping Sima Yi by his side, first of all,

He was worried about Sima Yi's rise, and secondly, he was also someone who wanted to study this fate.

At present, it seems that Sima Yi does not see any signs of being opposed to Chen Mo, but Chen Mo also knows the changes in fate. If he does not have this opportunity, he may not be able to show it in his life, but if he is given this opportunity, it will be different.

Well, just like Chen Mo, he didn't want to dominate the world at first. What he wanted at that time was to become a minister, strengthen the Chen family, and if possible, help the Han Dynasty and do something in his career. But sometimes in life, he can't help himself.

If you don't want those bad things to be exposed, the best way is to eliminate the possibility of him standing in this position in advance.

Sima Yi seems to be reused by Chen Mo now, but all he does is dig up the foundation of the family. After two years of observation, Sima Yi's skills are improving, but his destiny is declining. This also proves Chen Mo's guess in disguise that this destiny

It's not constant. It can only be said that Sima Yi has that trait, but if all the prerequisites for his backlash are taken away, even if he really has this opportunity in the future, he won't have the life to do things he shouldn't do.

.

"Back to Prime Minister, the people of Shu are rich, the food and grass are abundant, and the soldiers and armor are all ready. In addition, the terrain is difficult and dangerous. It is really not easy to invade Shu." Sima Yi shook his head and said: "However, there are conflicts between Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang in Hanzhong from time to time.

, I thought I could use this to make some articles."

"Then Zhongda, tell me what to do?" Chen Mo asked.

"I don't suggest attacking Shu first, but we can pretend to attack." Sima Yi bowed and said.

"How?" Chen Mo turned his head, looked at Sima Yi and said with a smile.

"Back to the Prime Minister, now there are not only the Prime Minister but also Liu Bei who are coveting the land of Shu. According to detailed reports, in the past two years, Liu Bei in Jingzhou has had close contacts with Shu. Liu Zhang is a kind man with a somewhat dark personality, and Shu

The dispute between the scholars in the Middle East and the scholars in the middle of Shu has been stalemate. If the lord pretends to attack Shu, Liu Bei will definitely not be able to sit back and watch. He will definitely try to enter Sichuan when the time comes. The lord can gather the main force to attack Jingxiang south. As long as Jingxiang is occupied, he will

If we can cut off the Yangtze River, then whether we attack Shu or Jiangdong, it will be difficult for the Sun and Liu families to help each other. As long as one of these two areas is captured, the remaining area will be difficult to support alone. It is easy to take!" Sima Yi!

Bowed.

Chen Mo nodded, looked at Sima Yi and said, "Keep talking."

"Well!" Sima Yi thought for a while and said: "If we can capture Jingxiang, Liu Bei's army will be trapped in Shu, and there will definitely be a conflict with Liu Zhang. The lord can take this opportunity to send a debater to persuade Liu Zhang to surrender to the court.

, then the danger of Jianmen and Jiameng's solid can be easily overcome. As long as these two passes are passed and the debaters are in the plain, our army can march straight into it and capture the land of Sichuan and Shu. Our army will occupy the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and reach the

If we can train a naval force at that time, from top to bottom, taking advantage of the geographical advantages, we will have an advantage, and the land east of the Yangtze River will be easy to acquire!"

Chen Mo nodded and knelt down. In fact, after Wu Yi told him Cao Cao's last words, Chen Mo also thought for a long time. Taking Shu was the safest way, but how? If Liu Bei intervened at this time, it would be equivalent to giving him away.

Opportunity for Liu Bei to enter Shu.

Sima Yi's strategy was similar to the one discussed by Chen Mo and Jia Xu, which was to conquer Jingzhou first, then take Shuzhong, and finally take over Jiangdong.

Although after capturing Jingzhou, it is very likely that Jiangdong and Liu Bei will attack from both sides, but the land of Shu is difficult to enter and exit. Chen Mo has seen the terrain of Jingzhou. If Jingzhou is really captured, Liu Bei will only need to attack a few important passes.

If you hold it in your hand, Jingzhou will be safe. As for Jiangdong, you can temporarily give up the land south of Jing and just hold Jiangxia in your hand.

After looking at Sima Yi, Chen Mo said with admiration: "Zhongda's vision and strategy are not bad."

Sima Yi smiled and bowed his hands: "Prime Minister, you are so complimentary."

"I've always judged people very accurately." Chen Mo smiled and said, "You deserve it. Looking at the world, Zhongda is as talented as anyone in the world."

Sima Yi didn't dare to speak anymore. Chen Mo's compliments were somewhat flattering. You could tell by looking at Yang Xiu on the side. In addition, in the past two years, many dirty things in the Prime Minister's Mansion were done by Sima Yi. Although

This is also a sign of trust, but Sima Yi knows very well that this is also a different kind of persecution.

"Okay, everyone should be busy with their own business. I'll go out for a walk." Chen Mo smiled, got up and walked out.
Chapter completed!
