Chapter 692 Daily Life in the Backyard

In the blink of an eye, winter has passed and spring has come, and it is the season when all things come back to life.

In Julu County, Jizhou, in the city of Yingtao.

Julu County was also the site of many historic events, such as the Battle of Julu, where Xiang Yu fought bravely and defeated the Qin army with a small force.

The Battle of Guangzong, which ended the Yellow Turban Rebellion, also took place in Julu County.

Now, Lu Cheng has also moved his government office to Julu County.

When he captured Julu County last winter, Lu Cheng asked his officials to recruit craftsmen here, start construction, and build an academy, which he named: Julu Academy.

During the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, at the suggestion of Dong Zhongshu and others, the Han Dynasty established the Central Imperial Academy, which was mainly used for the study of classics and the dissemination of knowledge. It also offered many courses such as "The Book of Changes", "The Book of Songs", "The Book of History", "The Book of Rites", "The Gongyang Commentary", "The Guliang Commentary", and "The Zuo Zhuan".

In addition to the central Imperial College, each state and county also established official schools to provide basic education and cultural dissemination.

Some local noble families also established private schools. The study of poetry, which was originally banned in the Qin Dynasty, also began to revive in the Han Dynasty.

However, the overall educational resources are basically controlled by aristocratic families and officials at all levels, and have nothing to do with ordinary people.

When Lu Cheng was in Liaodong, he was able to carry out drastic reforms and establish a complete education system from basic education to secondary and higher education.

However, in Jizhou, Lu Cheng did not plan to start from the basics, but planned to first establish an academy with cultural exchange as the main focus, referring to the learning and education methods of the Jixia Academy, to attract the children of Jizhou's noble families to come, let them here to expound their knowledge, communicate and collide with each other, and then select a group of suitable talents from them to join his team.

At the same time, Lu Cheng will also open a new military academy in Jizhou to train military officer talents.

When the time is right in the future and the complete education system is moved here, it will be enough to shake the foundations of those aristocratic families.

In the back garden of Lu Mansion.

With the help of Zhen Jiang and Diao Chan, Cai Zhaoji walked around the yard twice and returned to the eaves. Immediately, a maid put a cushion on a chair under the eaves and asked Cai Zhaoji to sit down.

After Cai Zhaoji sat down, she looked down at her growing belly, reached out and gently stroked it, revealing a gentle smile, full of maternal radiance.

"This little guy is getting more and more naughty. He just kicked me in the stomach again."

Zhen Jiang standing by looked envious: "Really? Let me touch it and see, it's true."

"Jiang'er, don't worry. When your husband comes back this time, it will be your turn."

"I...I'm not in a hurry. Come to think of it, I haven't seen my husband for another month."

"My husband is a man who does great things. He cannot indulge in the land of gentleness. We still need to be more considerate."

"I know, but every time my husband goes out, I can't help but worry. I don't know if he can eat well or sleep well when he's out there."

When Diao Chan heard this, her thoughts began to drift away, and she recalled the scene when they first met last year.

Since being brought to Liaodong, Diao Chan thought that her fate would be the same as before, moving to another place, continuing to be a singer, entertaining people with her beauty until she grew old and her beauty faded.

But after arriving in Liaodong, Diao Chan found out that there were no singing girls in Governor Lu's mansion, only two wives and some maids and servants.

After that, Diao Chan became Lu Cheng's concubine, but she never had the chance to sleep with him. Later, she learned a lot from Cai Zhaoji, and realized that her husband loved women and would not let them sleep with him too early.

However, Lu Cheng was often away on military campaigns, and they were rarely together, leaving Diao Chan with no chance to even speak to him.

However, life in the mansion was relatively free. Diao Chan could occasionally accompany the two ladies to stroll around the streets and see the outside world. It was much better than being trapped in Situ Mansion before.

Moreover, every time they went out shopping, Diao Chan could clearly feel the Liaodong people's heartfelt respect and gratitude for them.

All of this came from the governor Lu, who ensured that the people of Liaodong had enough food and clothing, and no worries about food and clothing, and did not have to be bullied by foreign races.

Because of this, as Lu Cheng's woman, Diao Chan gradually developed a sense of "honor" and had more respect and admiration for Lu Cheng.

As if she could see what was on Diao Chan's mind, Cai Zhaoji smiled and took Diao Chan's hand, and put it in her own hand: "Sister Diao Chan, you are just 28 years old this year, but according to what my husband said, it would be best for you to wait for another two years until your body is fully grown, and then you can serve me. Sister Diao Chan is born beautiful, my husband will definitely like her very much."

"Diao Chan is incomparable to her elder sister. She is stunningly beautiful and talented."

As the three girls were talking, a little maid ran over in a hurry, shouting, "Madam, Madam, the governor is back."

Upon hearing this, Cai Zhaoji also stood up quickly: "My two sisters, follow me to welcome my husband."

"Yes, sister."

In the front yard, Lu Cheng stepped into the mansion and the servants and maids immediately came to greet him.

When Lu Cheng walked into the side hall, a maid came forward and took off his robe, and another maid brought a copper basin and helped him wash.

Seeing Cai Zhaoji and the other two girls coming, Lu Cheng also smiled and said, "Zhaoji, Jiang'er, Chan'er, come here and let your husband take a good look at you."

Cai Zhaoji took a handkerchief from a maid and carefully wiped the wet stains on Lu Cheng's temples: "My husband has been running around these days, it's really hard."

"Zhao Ji, you have worked hard managing the harem. Has our son been naughty recently?"

"I was still talking about it. You were just helping me."

"Really? Let me hear it."

Lu Cheng supported Cai Zhaoji into the backyard, helped her sit down, and checked the situation again. Everything was normal.

In fact, Cai Zhaoji had already taken body-building pills, and her physical fitness was close to 20 points. She was very healthy, and the fetus in her belly was developing normally.

"Did your trip go smoothly, my husband?"

"Fortunately, I inspected the entire Jizhou, focusing on the farmland water conservancy facilities and the growth of grain. There are also many Black Mountain troops who came out of the mountains and have been allocated land. After the grain is harvested, the entire Jizhou will be more stable."

While listening to Lu Cheng talking about what he had seen along the way, Cai Zhaoji ordered her maids to boil water and cook.

Lu Cheng chatted with Cai Zhaoji for a while, and a maid came to report: "Master, the hot water is ready, you can take a bath."

Lu Cheng nodded, went to the bathroom, took off his robe, and was about to take a bath when he suddenly heard a familiar sound of footsteps approaching. Without even turning his head, he knew who was behind him.

"Cicada."

"My...my lady asked me to help you bathe and change clothes."

"Well, come here and give me a shoulder massage."

Diao Chan trembled, but she still walked over obediently and put her hand on Lu Cheng's broad shoulder...
