Ever since he knew that the person who organized these refugees was Lu Xun, Li Shushi no longer considered whether there was an extremely capable "old housekeeper" standing behind Lu Xun.
This is indeed not a problem.
Although he is young, it can even be said that at Lu Xun's current age, he is even younger than Li Shushi, who left home and came out to work. But even at such a young age, Lu Xun still exhibits some characteristics that make him perform far better than his peers. Even better than the young man who is several years older than him - he is the great nephew of Lu Kang, the governor of Lujiang, and he has the ability to think calmly like an adult.
The former point is due to the issue of birth. No matter how you look at it, this can only be a choice of fate. On the contrary, it is the latter. Li Shushi admires it very much, and there are already such existences around him - Yang Fu and Sima Yi can be counted. He is a top performer.
With such outstanding qualities and more than a dozen private guards, everyone will not despise him because he is a child. After the initial run-in, Lu Xun was proved to be extraordinary, and everything became logical for the rest.
Li Shushi was actually very confused as to why Lu Xun led a group of refugees to the north instead of going south to his hometown in Wu County. He clearly remembered that Lu Kang, the prefect of Lujiang, would kill his son Lu Ji and his father because of his father when he felt that his life was not long. Lu Xun, the great nephew who died early and came to seek refuge, was sent out of Lujiang to return to his hometown. Because Lu Ji, the uncle, was actually younger than Lu Xun, the nephew. Just like Xun Yu and Xun You, for a period of time, they were completely supported by Lu Xun, who was an official. Jiangdong Lu family.
Of course, even in the end, it was Lu Xun's descendants who had the say in the Lu family. Instead, it was Lu Ji. Although he had gained a lot of fame at a young age, his deeds of Lu Lang Huai Ju were even selected into the Twenty-Four Filial Piety. But I don't know if it was bad luck or something was wrong with the Lu family's genes. Like Lu Xun's father, he also died young. People don't know whether to be sad or speechless.
Having said so much, Li Shushi actually has only one meaning:
"You didn't accompany your uncle back to your hometown for refuge. Instead, you led the refugees north. Aren't you worried about something unexpected happening? No matter what happened to you or your uncle, Prefect Lu must have They won¡¯t be happy.¡±
"My uncle is escorted by his uncle's confidants, so it's no problem. Jiangdong also has his in-law Gu Yuantan taking care of him, so the family is fine. As for myself, although the south is relatively peaceful, it won't be long before it becomes a war-torn place. Come on. My great-uncle once told me about the current situation. Knowing that Cao Mengde in the north is unable to go south in a short time, Yuan Shu, no matter what his purpose is, must take the entire territory of Yangzhou to be able to compete with Cao Mengde. I don't want to In the future, I have to serve as an official for the enemy who is destined to become the family's mortal enemy, so I take the road to Bingshuo. Firstly, I can learn from many great scholars in the world. Secondly, I hope to learn the skills to become an enemy on the battlefield. Then you can use your own hands to protect the people you want to protect."
Well, Li Shushi had to sigh, Gu Yong, you are really loved by everyone. Luo Jun's widow originally planned to remarry you, but now the Lu family plans to defect to you because she is related to you by marriage. Sure enough, you can become the prime minister of Soochow not just because you are better than Zhang Zhao. This ability to easily involve a lot of relationships is probably only matched by the little Lu Xun in front of him.
"So now that you have met me here, will you feel very disappointed?"
"Lord Zhou Mu knows even a mere child like Xun, and he must be well aware of what is happening in other parts of the world. Since Lord Zhou Mu knows everything about this world, I guess your ambition is also in this world. Although Xun is not a smart person (Li Shushi said that he wants to go crazy), he still has a long time before adulthood. This time is enough for me to clearly see the current situation that is obscured by fog. I must make a choice. Before, enriching oneself was still the top priority. However, Xun also believed that judging from the ambition shown by the adults, by the time Xun had to make a choice in the future, the adults would have been able to give Xun the most perfect answer. By that time , I believe Xun doesn¡¯t have to think about how to make a choice anymore, right?¡±
"If a child like you can't be called smart, then most of the people here can only be called stupid. I am somewhat confident in judging people's abilities. You are a child with great potential. If in the future If you can maintain your current mentality in the past ten years, I will be very optimistic about your future.
Okay, don¡¯t look at me like that, I¡¯m very serious. Meeting is fate. Even if you don't understand this sentence, it doesn't matter. As an elder, I will give you something as a meeting gift. Tamago-chan, come over and give that set of books to Mr. Lu. "
Well, thisThe contents of this set of books are from the military books in Li Shushi's treasure illustrated book, but they do not include magic stick books like "Taiping Yashu" that Li Shushi can't understand at all and medical books like "Qing Nang Shu". Although it was unclear whether little Lu Xun was interested in this knowledge, considering Zhang Jiao's problem, Li Shushi felt that it would be more appropriate to keep some things sealed.
Of course, the cost of the book itself is not high. After all, with the advent of movable type printing, the cost of books has continued to decrease. This is also Li Shushi's request. Although some of his views are gradually revised, his desire to popularize knowledge is entirely based on Not stopped.
Therefore, compared with the cost of the book itself, what is truly precious is the content of the book. Even those military books can only be regarded as basic textbooks for students at the Zhan Zhan Academy (recently, Li Shushi feels that the name of the military academy is more impressive), but for non- For Lu Xun, who was born in the Bingzhou military system, it was definitely rare to see him - at this time, the popularity of books was extremely low.
"Sir Zhou Mu will be grateful for such a generous gift to Xun, and he will not live up to his praise of Xun."
Of course, the little girl next to Lu Xun who Lu Xun called "sister" also received a gift from Su Xiaololi. Although the little girl seemed to be very scared when looking at Li Shushi, she definitely had bad intentions in Li Shushi's eyes when facing the same smile. Su Xiao Loli was a completely different person. Not only could Su Xiao Loli make her laugh with just a word, but after a while, she seemed to have identified Su Xiao Loli and was unwilling to let go. Instead, Lu Xun, who had become a tauren, Very surprised.
In Lu Xun's words, "My sister is very familiar with life. I didn't expect that your wife would get her approval so easily." Anyway, Li Shushi was already immune to Su Xiaololi's incredible method of "picking up girls". I feel that without his annoying existence, Su Xiaoluoli would probably be the protagonist of a popular transformation novel in a certain place.
Um. Even if she doesn't change her body, she can still become the leading female lead in yuri-type works, a kingly type of work.
It is estimated that even Brother Cheng, who is known as a bulldozer, and Uncle Zhi, who is even more awesome than the bulldozer and can be called a fighter among bulldozers for countless generations, would have to kneel down and sing the song of conquest under Su Xiaololi's incredible pick-up girl. Yes.
With this kind of atmosphere. Li Shushi expressed the hope that Lu Xun could help him deceive as many refugees as possible from the Lujiang River to the north. No, he wanted to explain to them the benefits of the north, so that they could live and work in a safer place.
Regarding Li Shushi's request, Lu Xun nodded and agreed without thinking too much. Anyway, Li Shushi did not ask him to learn the "forced demolition team" that required super combat power to change jobs. Since the people themselves did not intend to stay in Lujiang, , why not let them go to a more stable place? It can be said that under Li Shushi's rule, it was a rare and relatively peaceful area at this time.
So Li Shushi¡¯s idea is not actually deception. Therefore, it is also very good to be a favor, which can relieve a lot of the huge pressure on Li Shushi's heart when he gave a heavy gift as soon as they met.
The revised letter serves as a token of Lu Xun¡¯s meeting with Cheng Yu, allowing Lu Xun to enter the official school in Bingzhou after completing the mission, and he can also choose to go to Huangfusong¡¯s Zhan Zhan College for further study according to his personal wishes.
In fact, according to Li Shushi's idea, he hopes to keep Lu Xun by his side, just like Yang Fu and Sima Yi, including Lu Meng, are always shrouded in Su Xiaololi's "loving" aura. It will be polished cleanly and become a brick of the revolution. The Bingzhou Army will go wherever it needs to go, and my mother will no longer have to worry about not having enough talent on hand - the most important thing is that even if the children of these aristocratic families want to engage in any series of connections in the future, the fear in their hearts will probably make them think twice before doing so. Rather than being like the group of powerful men in Yanzhou, even if they were wiped out, they would still deal a big blow to Cao Cao's army.
At least Li Shushi believed that those powerful Xuzhou families who were originally won over by Cao Cao would be shaken in their hearts at this time.
Of course, it was not something Li Shushi could guess whether Yuan Shao would take advantage of him. At least Yuan Shao dared to send a large number of troops south to assist Cao Cao, and among them there was a veteran general with great strength and thousands of troops. The elite Euphorbia warriors can tell that Yuan Shao is either trying to make a fool of himself, or he really still has enough energy left to divide his troops.
Li Shushi didn¡¯t have much contact with Yuan Shao. But it is also very clear that although Yuan Shao likes to put on a facade when doing things, he is actually a guy who knows everything clearly. If you really don't have the ability. He could have written money and food to make up for the difference. Anyway, given Cao Cao's current financial situation. Perhaps he would be happier if Yuan Shao gave him some money and food, but not necessarily.
And, if it can be confirmed?If Yuan Shao really has something to do with the Wuwan people or even the Xianbei people on the northern grasslands, then Yuan Shao's financial resources can easily obtain a large number of Yicon troops from the north. If it weren't for his generals, he probably wouldn't be too willing to do this. The situation has affected their meritorious service. Perhaps Yuan Shao can eliminate Gongsun Zan without dispatching his own troops.
At least judging from the battle that broke out in Youzhou a while ago, the effect of letting Yuan Shao's generals and counselors command the foreign troops was far better than the two of them commanding separately. Li Shushi did not believe that Yuan Shao would not see this and take advantage of it.
Of course, Li Shushi also believed that Yuan Shao could see clearly that the wolves in the north were not easy to serve. They were all greedy. However, Yuan Shao's main enemy now was Gongsun Zan and Li Shushi, both of whom were related to him. It can be said that the barbarians in the grassland have a blood feud. They are all hard-liners against the barbarians, and they are all meritorious nobles who climbed up by stepping on the blood of the barbarians.
Just like when Yuan Shu's threat was still great, even if Yuan Shao and Li Shushi thought each other would be a big trouble, they would not show their hostility so openly. At most, they would do some small actions in private. Even if Yuan Shao and Karasuma on the grassland The people and the Xianbei people have reached a certain degree of tacit understanding. It cannot be said that the two parties are really close. If they are good, they are just like a family.
Don¡¯t say anything else. Yuan Shao is a pure and pure son of a noble family. He must have a different heart for our race. This is also the idea held by this kind of person. He can regard the grassland barbarians as his subordinates. Treated as a slave, but absolutely impossible to be an equal collaborator. Even Li Shushi's status in Yuan Shao's eyes was slightly insufficient, so this was also the reason why Yuan Shao wanted to train his troops.
Otherwise, Yuan Shao, who is used to using foreign soldiers, will suddenly find that he lacks strong enough troops, just like the Eastern Han Dynasty who likes to play with foreign soldiers. Those military generals became very difficult to lose. Even if there were loyal ministers like Huangfu Song among them, they would be a thorn in the side of those in power.
So, Yuan Shao, who has his hands free, will obviously turn his attention to Xuzhou, which is currently in a power vacuum.
After all, apart from this, Xuzhou is still a no-man¡¯s land. Do you want Yuan Shao to cross the ocean to conquer the Korean Peninsula? Or do you want to make trouble with Li Shushi or Cao Cao? Or march into the grassland to occupy a place that is inhospitable to ordinary people.
Yuan Shao is obviously unlikely to take such a risk before Gongsun Zan is solved. This is really not cost-effective.
That night, Li Shushi and the refugees who followed Lu Xun gathered together and held an open-air party. Although the clothes on one side were bright and the other side could not be said to be ragged, it could be said to be dusty. Filled with noodles, delicious fish soup, and the vulgar but catchy country slang tune. Both the guests and the host were very happy.
And Li Shushi also used such a party to let his "people-friendly" image rely on the mouths of these refugees. It spread among the refugees from Lujiang, which made Lu Xun's deception, ah no, made the persuasion work a lot easier.
Early the next morning, I said goodbye to Lu Xun and his party, and also sent a lot of supplies to the team. Anyway, Li Shushi and his party had been enjoying eating fresh food from the river recently, and they were not interested in eating those rough dry foods for the time being, so they took them out and gave them to them. The favor actually made the refugees have a better impression of Li Shushi - even though everyone said that the south was a land of plenty. The usual thing is rice instead of various pastas, but under the pressure of survival. Even bark, grass, roots and even soil can be swallowed, let alone this fragrant food.
Su Xiaololi¡¯s emotions came quickly. It seemed to go quite quickly, and even after wandering around Lujiang for a few days, he seemed to be tired of the local mountains and rivers. Although he didn't argue about where he wanted to go, the bored expression on his face made Li Shushi uncomfortable. Cannot be ignored.
Naturally, when Li Shushi proposed his goal this time, although Su Xiaololi did not raise her hands in agreement, her expression of "I'm very interested" turned the whole boat over. The sergeants pretending to be sailors became You have to be strong all over.
Returning to the main stream of the Huai River and going down the river, I slipped through Shouchun under Yuan Shu's nose. I also stopped by Shaopi before and had a good tour and exploration of this city, which was named after the Chu State during the Warring States Period. The water conservancy facilities built by the minister Sun Shuao.
Moreover, Li Shushi also knew that after Cao Cao acquired the Huainan area, the Cao Wei regime renovated Shaopi many times, including famous officials such as Liu Fu and Deng Ai. After these renovations, not only did Shaopi's flood drainage and irrigation functions improve All have been greatly strengthened, and it has also become the most important water transportation artery for the Cao Wei regime to send troops to Jiangdong. When the Cao Wei regime confronts Jiangdong, it can continuously transport soldiers and food and grass from the rear¡ª¡ªHowever, after accumulation, even without the transportation of grain and grass from the Central Plains, the Huainan region has stored enough grain and grass for the army to conquer for several years, and this is all the credit of Shaopei.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT out of the way, he entered the Xiapi Kingdom of Xuzhou without encountering any obstacles.
At this time, Pi State was originally inclined towards Yuan Shu, and it was also within the sphere of influence of Zeo Rong, a Danyang native of Tao Qian's hometown. As the prime minister of Xia Pi appointed by Tao Qian, Zuo Rong had considerable power while Tao Qian was still there. Not only was there no one in Xiapi who could restrict his actions, even the surrounding Guangling County and Pengcheng Kingdom had to hold their breath, because in addition to appointing his fellow countryman Zuo Rong as the Prime Minister of Xiapi, Tao Qian also gave him The right to transport all taxes and offerings from these three places.
It can be said that even an honest official can gain a lot of wealth with such power, not to mention that Zuo Rong was originally a very greedy person. Therefore, even if all taxes were not blatantly intercepted, most of them went into his pocket. If the Mi family in Donghai County took several generations to become the top wealthy family in Xuzhou, then Zuo Rong It only took a few years of effort. He made himself the richest man in Xuzhou, even more powerful than Tao Qian, and he accumulated a lot of wealth. It is estimated that even if all the official warehouses in Xingyang were emptied to contain the wealth that Zui Rong had accumulated, it would be difficult to tell whether the official warehouses would be enough. This is what Li Shushi thought. As for the specific situation, no one could tell.
Because although this Zuo Rong is a huge corrupt man, with not very good abilities and extremely low-level character, he can still be regarded as a person who has left a great name in history - naturally he will not be the kind of person who records princes, generals and ministers in history books. It is among the various unofficial histories written by Buddhists that extol the virtues of Buddhists.
This person considers himself an extremely devout Buddhist and likes to promote Buddhism very much. Because there is money. Naturally, Buddhist temples can be built in Xiapi Kingdom, and people can be hired to copy Buddhist scriptures and order all men, women, old and young in Xiapi Kingdom to recite them morning and evening, just like morning and evening classes in a monk's temple.
Naturally, more temples require a large number of monks and nuns. Not only do many bald heads pour into Xiapi from the surrounding areas, but there are also a lot more local bald heads - staying in the temple does not require much work and you can still eat. In this troubled world, there really aren't many jobs that are better than this, especially for Buddhists these days. They were not harmed by that idle and boring guy like Emperor Wu of Liang. They were naturally not afraid of meat and fish, and based on the quality of these people . Probably even slaughtering pigs and sheep is not a big deal at all.
Even on the so-called birthday of the Buddha, an event called "Buddha Bathing Party" is held, where a flowing water mat is placed. Passers-by and merchants can just go to a nearby temple to kowtow and burn incense. There, they can eat and stuff themselves on the flowing water mats on the roadside. This makes the Buddha Bathing Ceremony so huge that it is probably not even the multinational sports games organized by Li Shushi. This is the opponent of the Buddha Bathing Association.
As for whether the so-called "Li Xue in the north, Zuo Rong in the south" is circulated in the world, Li Shushi said that he was wronged - his sports meeting can be used to make money in addition to entertainment, not like Zuo Rong. Spend money lavishly and make a prodigal son.
But that¡¯s probably why. Tao Qian turned a blind eye to Zuo Rong's serious corruption and disciplinary violations. I guess I have no other feelings except that this fellow countryman is too troublesome.
As long as you are not raising troops to respect yourself. The reputation of a mere Buddhist is really not worth mentioning in the eyes of Tao Qian.
It can only be said that Tao Qian is still too naive. He does not know that in modern society, whether it is Nestorian or Green religion, all kinds of sex bombs can fly, not to mention that Iranian Green religion believers can go to land mines hand in hand. He didn't take his own life seriously at all.
Of course, he also didn¡¯t know that just to the west of the Western Region controlled by the Han Dynasty, there was a country called Anthia, which also had a group of legions united by religion¡ªthe power of the Fars Guardian Corps. Li Shushi had personally tried it in the Western Region. Maybe Their individual combat effectiveness may not be able to surpass the Flying Bear Army led by Dong Zhuo or the Kushan Gandhara Army who fights wholeheartedly, but their fearless spirit is even inferior to Dong Zhuo's Flying Bear Army. With the blessing of religion, as long as the commander is willing, those people can transform into a group of madmen, real madmen.
Does a madman fear injury, illness, demoralization, or even death?
The only thing that can be called lucky is that Zuo Rong's ability is indeed bad enough, otherwise the history of the late Eastern Han Dynasty will definitely be rewritten.
But even so, in Li Shushi¡¯s view, the series of actions of such a messy Zuo Rong can actually be summed up in one sentence:
"Have money"??It's so willful! ¡±¡ª¡ªTypical second-generation prodigal style.
However, perhaps it is precisely because of this willful Prime Minister that even though it has only been a few years, the entire Xiapi Kingdom has a bit of the Liang Kingdom's style of "four hundred and eighty temples in the Southern Dynasty, with so many towers in the mist and rain". So even though his character was low, this Lord became what Buddhists call an enlightened monk and the reincarnation of the Buddha.
So what is the essence of religion? In the words of a certain chief architect, it is to let a small group of people get rich first, and then let the majority of people support them to continue to be rich - this is even better than the new capitalism after World War II. The exploitation is even more serious!
It can be seen from this that Buddhism is no different from Western religions. The blood and internal organs contained in it are very warm~ (To be continued)
