498.Chapter 498
Although there were some regrets in his heart, Guan Yu still did not continue to interfere with Guan Ping's choice. Even if Guan Yu encounters this kind of thing himself, he may have the same choice.
Guan Ping's clear grievances and responsible attitude made Guan Yu feel extremely relieved in his heart.
In fact, in Guan Yu's heart, he also has an extraordinary good impression of the general Chen Xu. Whether it is Chen Xu's actions, his personality, or his policies towards the people under his rule, Guan Yu has sincerely admired him.
However, they are now nearly forty years old, and although Liu Bei has occupied most of Yuzhou, his power is still a little thin compared to the other princes.
Moreover, Yuzhou is the land of four wars, and there are powerful princes next to it, and Liu Bei may be destroyed by the rest of the princes if he is not careful.
Looking at the princes of the world, Chen Xu, who pacified most of Liangzhou, took the Son of Heaven to order the princes to occupy the position of righteousness. In addition, he is densely populated and has a large number of generals under his command, and he is a well-deserved first prince in the world.
If Guan Ping really defected to Chen Xu, he would be able to achieve something, even if Guan Yu followed Liu Bei to defeat and die in the future, the incense of the Guan family would not be cut off.
Not only the Maison has the mentality of casting a wide net, but also the common people.
It's just that in comparison, there are many children in the family, and there are countless talented people. Even if they split up their votes among several princes, they would be fine.
On the other hand, it is extremely difficult for a civilian family to produce a talented person. What's more, compared to the children of the family, even if the children of the poor family have some talents, it is difficult to make a name.
Especially for princes like Yuan Shao and Liu Biao, they have an extremely strong view of the family, and most of them are reused by famous people.
According to Guan Yu's character, since he has identified Liu Bei, he will naturally do his best to assist him. Guan Yu would never let his son deliberately defect to other princes in order to achieve the goal of casting a wide net.
However, after Guan Ping himself strongly insisted on defecting to Chen Xu, Guan Yu would not block it too much.
Guan Yu secretly thought with some self-deprecation: "If the general can really succeed, maybe Ah Ping's achievements in the future will be higher than mine." ”
After determining their respective futures, Guan Yu was not in a hurry to take the Hu family to Yuzhou. In the following period, he devoted himself to teaching Guan Ping every day, hoping that he would become a great tool in the future.
"As a martial artist, only by practicing martial arts diligently every day can you always maintain a good condition. If there is a slight slackness, martial arts will be like a boat sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat. ”
"In the future, even if we are each our own master, you must remember that you are my son of Guan Yu. I don't want you to die in battle before we have father and son to fight. ”
For his only son, Guan Yu's requirements are extremely strict, and he teaches Guan Ping martial arts, and he is also proud of himself.
"Stop for a moment, another neighbor is coming to see you at home."
Guan Yu was teaching his son martial arts, and suddenly heard his wife's shout, and his face immediately showed a helpless look.
After the news of Guan Yu's return spread, many neighbors came to visit him during this time. Although Guan Yu has been away from home for 18 years, he has long been famous for his bravery and righteousness when he has not yet reached the crown.
At the beginning, Guan Yu killed people, and it was because the local tyrants bullied his neighbors that he acted angrily.
Although in recent years, because of the war, the former neighbors have left, there are still many people who have returned to their hometowns again because of the stable situation in Guanzhong.
Eighteen years later, many people still remember that dignified and righteous man. So, when the news of Guan Yu's return home spread, many people came to visit.
Later, people learned that Guan Yu had become an official, and now he held the position of Sima of other departments, and there were many newly immigrated people who wanted to have a relationship with Guan Yu.
After all, for ordinary people, the official position of Sima of the other department is already very high. There will be some benefits to being able to get involved with such a person.
Because this was under Chen Xu's rule, Guan Yu did not tell everyone that he was serving in Yuzhou.
Facing the enthusiastic villagers, Guan Yu naturally couldn't refuse. Although he is cold and arrogant, and he doesn't have a good face for the children of the family, Guan Yu is very kind to ordinary people and soldiers.
In addition, Guan Yu also has to deal with the family's farm property. Now that he has made up his mind to take the Hu family to Yuzhou, the family's fields naturally cannot continue to be planted.
Although Guan Ping will stay in Guanzhong, whether he enters Taixue to study or goes to join the army, he has no energy to continue to take care of the fields.
For the ancestral house, Guan Yu will not sell it anyway.
According to the law of Guanzhong, land cannot be bought or sold privately without the permission of the government. If a farmer leaves his land uncultivated, the government has the right to take it back.
Guan Yu's family background is not good, so even if he is an official now, he will not leave his family property at will. What's more, Guan Ping lives in Guanzhong and still needs an economic foundation.
Even if you can't farm yourself, you can rent out your land to others. In this way, the field will not be barren, and it will be able to leave a little family property for Guan Ping.
Guan Yu is not an evil landlord, and the rent he wants is naturally not too expensive.
And considering the possibility of famine, this rent is not immutable, if the tenants really do not collect, Guan Ping will not collect rent from them.
Guan Yu dealt with the miscellaneous things at home while teaching Guan Ping martial arts. Since Guan Yu was the pillar of the family, the Hu family rarely managed the affairs of the family anymore and became a virtuous wife.
During this time, Guan Yu lived a busy and fulfilling life.
On this day, after the family of three had just finished eating, Guan Yu suddenly heard someone outside who seemed to be making noise and calling for help. immediately let Hu stay at home, but he rushed out with Guan Ping.
"Kill someone, catch the thief!"
The old woman hugged a man with a meaty face, and shouted hoarsely. I saw that the man's body had been soaked in blood, and even his intestines were exposed, and he couldn't live anymore.
Next to the old woman and the corpse, a young man stood with a knife, and the people surrounded him, but no one stepped forward.
When the old woman saw that her son had died, she was immediately grief-stricken. She put down the body in her arms and threw her life at the murderous young man.
"Pay back my son, pay back my son, you pay back my son!"
The old woman punched and kicked the murderer, and Guan Yu, who was in the distance, was taken aback when he saw it, for fear that the murderer would hurt people. However, Guan Yu's worries did not happen, and the murderous young man did not fight back at all in the face of the old woman's fight.
Guan Ping looked at the murderer with a bloody face from afar, and immediately couldn't help but shout loudly: "Ah Wu, you, how can you kill someone?" ”
Guan Ping was not surprised, the murderer was Guan Ping's general friend Guan Wu, and he was also an authentic Guanjia villager, who grew up with Guan Ping since he was a child.
Guan Wu is only eighteen years old this year, but he is also powerful and likes to make friends with rangers. Although many rangers are ruffians and hooligans, Guan Wu is a person with pursuits and ideals, and will never mess with those pseudo-rangers.
He admires the spirit of true chivalry, is determined to hoe the strong and help the weak, and never bullies others. Last year, Guan Wu left his hometown to travel around, and there has been no news of him.
No, when Guan Ping saw him today, Guan Wu had already become a murderer.
Human resources are extremely valuable in troubled times, and when Wen Zhao formulated the law, the sentences for those murderers were extremely severe. Guan Wu killed people in the street today, and this kind of impact is also extremely bad.
Guan Ping had no doubt that if he was caught by the people of the government, the end would definitely not be too good.
