In the big tent in the river valley, Li Li and Li Xuan sat down.

Li Xuan's remarks before really made Li Li look at him with admiration.

Although Li Xuan's service time was very short, only a few days, Li Li took great care of him.

Every day when camping, Li Li would arrange Li Xuan's brothers and sisters around his tent, and told the military miscellaneous servants to try their best to meet the dietary requirements of the two brothers and sisters.

During the march, Li Li also specially made a simple carriage and covered it with thick animal skins, so that Li Xuan and Li Xin could rush with the army. However, Li Xuan insisted on marching on horseback, walked with Li Li all the way, and gave the carriage to his sister Li Xin to ride alone.

These trivial matters seem to be unremarkable, but Li Li takes these things as a serious matter, and after the order is issued, he has to personally inspect them to show his concern for Li Xuan's brother and sister.

There is no need to draw cakes between the lord and his subordinates to win people's hearts, and sometimes a little care and a little favor can be exchanged for a cronie.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Bei, the big ear, was well versed in this way, eating at the same table, sleeping together, treating Guan, Zhang, Zhao and Zhuge Kongming, and cultivating these civil and military generals into hardcore cronies, which shows how unfathomable his Taoism is.

In later generations, everyone is very smart, and they usually have small favors with colleagues and classmates, but they are never willing to be left behind at critical moments.

It can be seen that the Yanhuang civilization is broad and profound, taking the ancient times as a mirror, and all of them are smart people.

Li Li was nurtured in his previous life, but now it comes in handy.

It's just that his kind treatment is easy to make people think, I don't know if he really cares about Li Xuan, or if the drunkard's intention is not to drink, but to the pink beauty Li Xin.

There is not only Li Xin in this army, but also Teng Xiao's wife Wang, Teng Yu's fiancée Li Zhen and Meng Chong's widowed mother Teng, in addition to Teng Xiao's son Teng Yuan and others.

Peach Blossom Village is isolated from the world, and most of them married women from the same village when they got married, and they have been passed down for hundreds of years, and their blood ties are very close, all of them are aunts and cousins.

Therefore, many people die young, but as long as they can grow up healthy, their qualifications are good, their skills are extraordinary, they are all good at arching and shooting, and they are even better at hunting and setting traps.

Meng Chong's mother Teng is the aunt of the Teng brothers, and Teng Xiao's wife Wang is Li Xuan's cousin and Li Xin's cousin, and the relationship is very close.

Teng Yu originally coveted Li Xin and wanted to marry her as his wife, but his own appearance was very different, the elders in the village and Li Xuan did not agree, and Li Xin only had brother and sister feelings for him, but had no love at all.

Over time, Teng Yu also died of this heart, and then set up a marriage with Li Xuan's cousin Li Zhen, preparing to get married at the end of the year.

For the other villagers in Taohua Village, Li Li also said in advance, after the two thieves Li Kan and Cheng Yin were eliminated this time, the people who were willing to go out to live in the village would be properly resettled.

・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・

In the big tent, Li Li and Li Xuan sat opposite each other, drinking one by one.

"Yuan Zhong, come, drink a few more glasses, these days the saddle horse is tired, snubbing your brothers and sisters."

Li Xuan bowed slightly to Li Li, "The lord has won the award, and his subordinates are not rewarded, and I am afraid in my heart!" ”

Li Li smiled when he heard this, and after drinking the wine in the bottle, he said with a smile: "Yuan Zhong, excessive modesty is equal to pride. You have contributed to the camp in the valley, and this is your credit! What's more, with this incident, I can see that Yuan Zhong is as meticulous as a hair, although he is a scholar, he can put down his body and be diligent in farming, which is really rare. Hehehe! ”

"The army camping in the valley is by no means the work of the subordinates, but the trust of the lord to his subordinates! If the lord had the slightest doubt, I am afraid that we would have set up camp on the hillside by now. Li Xuan replied respectfully.

Li Li looked at Li Xuan meaningfully, and said softly: "Yuan Zhong, trust is two-sided. I trust Yuan Zhong because I think you are trustworthy and can make me trust. Does Yuan Zhong have something to say? ”

"This ・・・・・・ subordinates didn't ・・・・・・ subordinates didn't explain their life history to the lord, this is the fault of the subordinates, please punish the lord!"

Li Xuan wanted to answer almost without thinking. However, when he was about to speak, his mind suddenly woke up, and he immediately understood the meaning of Li Li's words, and immediately bowed his head and pleaded guilty.

Peach Blossom Village should have been a very ordinary small mountain village, but the young and strong people in the village practiced martial arts, all of them were extraordinary, and there were warriors like the Teng brothers who had the courage of ten thousand people.

In addition, Qingzhuang, Teng Brothers, Li Xuan and others in Peach Blossom Village are very proficient in marching and fighting, and they know the current military discipline without being taught.

If Peach Blossom Village was not an isolated mountain village, Li Li would not feel that there was anything wrong, but it was precisely this isolation that made him suspicious and curious about the life experiences of the Teng brothers and Li Xuan and others.

Perhaps the so-called isolation of Peach Blossom Village simply means that no outsiders enter the village; If you don't want others to come in, I'm afraid that the people in the village rarely go out.

Since then, how can the young people in Peach Blossom Village know the general trend of the world, and why are they familiar with the Han army system and military discipline?

Li Xuan didn't want to mention the name of the ancestor, because although the name was very loud, it had a bad reputation. Especially in the hearts of the old Qin people in the Jingzhao Liangzhou area, that name is the representative of betraying the Lord and seeking glory.

Li Li saw that Li Xuan's expression was a little hesitant, but this matter must be asked clearly. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to fully trust the people in Peach Blossom Village, and he would have to be on guard at all times.

In this case, once it is delayed for a long time, Li Li will inevitably develop suspicion of Li Xuan and the Teng brothers, and the master and slave will be separated from each other and distrust each other.

Suspicion is really a taboo for those in high positions. Employing people without suspicion, suspecting people without suspicion, this is the right way to employ people.

"Yuan Zhong, I know you may have something unspeakable, but this matter must be clarified. Otherwise, I can confess to you that I can't trust you completely! ”

Li Xuan's expression changed slightly, and he looked at Li Li in some surprise, but saw that Li Li's clear and deep eyes showed sincerity.

Suddenly, Li Xuan gritted his teeth slightly, and softly spit out five words: "Ancestor Tong Yougong." ”

"Tong Yougong? This is the font size, not the full name. Yuan Zhong, don't be spitting, hurry up, don't you just say your name? If your ancestors have a bad reputation, or if they act badly, it is also a thing of the past, what does it have to do with you? Everyone has their own aspirations, even siblings have times when they go against each other, let alone your family's ancestors? ”

When Li Li heard Li Xuan's ancestral name, he couldn't remember for a while what the "Right Gong" was, so he patiently explained Li Xuan, so that he didn't have to worry about it, and he could speak out as boldly.

After listening to Li Li's words, Li Xuan's expression suddenly relaxed a lot, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "My lord, the ancestor is Li Si, the prime minister of the pre-Qin Dynasty, and the words are all right. ”

"Lis?" Li Li instantly stood up and asked in surprise.

Li Xuan nodded solemnly and replied: "Yes, lord, the ancestor under your subordinates is none other than Li Si, the prime minister of Great Qin four hundred years ago!" ”

After being stunned for a moment, Li Li's expression gradually returned to normal, and after taking a deep breath, he sat back in the main seat.

Immediately, he stared at Li Xuan with blazing eyes, and said with sincerity on his face: "Okay, Li Si, the Prime Minister of Great Qin, is a very amazing person!" Implement the county system, abolish the feudal system, assist the first emperor to unify the six countries, unify weights and measures, merit in the contemporary, benefit in the future, and be the first phase of the ages! ”

Li Li's praise is by no means a word of truth and appeasement to Li Xuan, but a feeling of feeling.

Li Si is indeed a very remarkable ruler. He implemented the original county system of the Qin State throughout the country, which directly influenced the future generations for 2,000 years; strongly advocated the abolition of the feudal system, which directly killed the breeding ground of the princes and kings, resulting in the complete annihilation of the scene of 800 princes in the world during the period of Zhou Tianzi in the dust of history; The appearance of vassal states was minimized, and how many wars and killings were virtually eliminated.

However, Li Si is also a person with mixed reputations. He was brilliant and meritorious; But all his life, he believed in the way of life of a "mouse", seeking profit and avoiding disaster, and indulging in fame and fortune and could not extricate himself. So much so that in order to ensure his powerful position, he conspired with Zhao Gao to tamper with the edict of the First Emperor, resulting in the destruction of the Great Qin Empire, and the country was wiped out after only two generations.

Therefore, many old Qin people hate the traitor Zhao Gao to the core, and they hate Zhao Gao's accomplice Li Si even more.

However, 400 years have passed, and the Great Qin Empire has long been wiped out in the dust of history, and the 400-year-old Great Han Dynasty was established on the ruins of Great Qin.

Now that the dynasties have changed, the Han Dynasty, which has gone through the Western and Eastern Han Dynasty, is dying, the princes of the world are rising again, and the battle of the heroes is about to kick off.

"Does the lord really think that the ancestor can afford the praise you just made?"

Li Li's words of praise made Li Xuan instantly stunned. After a while, he came to his senses and asked in surprise.

Retracting his thoughts, Li Li said with a smile: "Of course it's true!" Although the ancestor Li Si finally became an accomplice to Zhao Gao's usurpation of power, his flaws are not hidden, his exploits will be remembered by history, and he is still a talented generation of celebrities.

There is nothing wrong with pursuing fame and fortune, as long as you are a person, you will like these things, and I, Li Li, am no exception. However, when it comes to fame and fortune at the root, it is actually something outside the body, and if you are too keen on this way, you will inevitably fall behind, and finally make a mistake into a thousand years of hatred, and your reputation will be ruined in one fell swoop, and the gains outweigh the losses!

Yuan Zhong, the merits and demerits have their own posterity. You don't have to be bothered by the bleak end of our ancestors, who have already been punished and wiped out. As a descendant of Tongyougong, it is not easy for you to retain your bloodline, you don't need to care about the merits and demerits of your ancestors, you just need to learn from the past and finish your life frankly. ”

Li Li's words moved Li Xuan extremely and made him a confidant.

Li Li saw that Li Xuan was so moved, a knowing smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and asked in a harmonious voice: "Yuan Zhong, since you are a descendant of the former Qin Gongqing, then the identities of the Teng brothers and Meng Chong and others must also be after the first Qin Zhongliang?" ”

Li Xuan turned his head and rubbed his eyes, turned around and responded, "That's right, just as the lord said." The Teng brothers are the descendants of the Great Qin Zhongliang, and Meng Chong is the collateral of the Meng family, and the entire Taohua Village is a descendant of the pre-Qin. Originally, there were only a few people, but after hundreds of years of multiplication, there are now 38 families, nearly 200 old and young. ”

Li Li excused himself and said: "This is still the number of people you are isolated from the world, otherwise, in hundreds of times, you can at least grow to the scale of a few hundred households, with a population of thousands." ”

As he spoke, Li Li suddenly paused, and said hahadaxiao: "Now I feel comfortable in my heart, since the people of Peach Blossom Village are loyal and good, they can be completely trusted!" Haha! ”

"Thank you for your appreciation! It is difficult for subordinates to repay the grace of the lord's acquaintance, but in the future, the lord has a life, and the subordinates must go all out to serve the lord to the death! Li Xuan bowed down and bowed earnestly.
