64. Entrenchment, friend?

Since he knew that the person who made these homeless people organized was Lu Xun, Li Shushi no longer considered the question of whether there was still an extremely capable "old housekeeper" standing behind Lu Xun.

This is really not a problem.

Although he is young, it can even be said that Lu Xun's current age is younger than Li Shushi, who ran away from home at the beginning, but even at such a young age, some of the characteristics shown by Lu Xun still make him far better than his peers, and even better than young people who are several years older than him - he is the nephew of Lu Kang, who is too guarded by Lujiang, and he also has the ability to think calmly almost as an adult.

The former point is due to the problem of background, no matter how you look at it, it can only be a choice of fate, but the latter, Li Shushi appreciates it very much, and there is such a storage around him - Yang Fu and Sima Yi can be regarded as a leader.

With such an outstanding Su zhì, and more than a dozen private guards, so that everyone would not despise him because he was a child, after the initial run-in proved that Lu Xun was extraordinary, and the rest of the time became logical.

Li Shushi was actually very puzzled why Lu Xun would take a group of homeless people to the north instead of going south to return to his hometown in Wu County, but he remembered very clearly that Lu Kang, the Taishou of Lujiang, would send his son Lu Ji and his nephew Lu Xun who came to join him because of his father's early death to return to his hometown when he felt that his life was short, because Lu Ji's uncle was younger than Lu Xun who was a nephew, just like Xun Yu and Xun You, for a period of time, he completely relied on Lu Xun to support the Lu family in Jiangdong.

Of course, even at the end. It has always been Lu Xun's descendants who have the right to speak in the Lu family, but it is Lu Ji, although he has a lot of reputation at a young age, and even his deeds of Lu Lang Huai Tang have been selected as twenty-four filial piety, but I don't know if it is bad luck, or there is something wrong with the genes of the Lu family, and Lu Xun's father also died young, which makes people not know whether to choke or be speechless.

Having said so much, Li Shushi actually wants to express only one meaning:

"You didn't accompany your little uncle back to your hometown for refuge, but led the displaced people north. Aren't you worried about accidents? Whatever went wrong with you. Or if something is wrong with your little uncle, presumably Lu Taishou will not be happy. ”

"Uncle is escorted by his uncle's confidants, so it should be fine. Jiangdong has an in-law Gu Yuansian to take care of him, and the family is fine. As for the inferiority himself. The south is calmer though. But it won't be long before it becomes a war-torn place. Uncle once told me about the current situation. Knowing that Cao Mengde in the north was unable to go south for a short time, Yuan Shu must take the entire territory of Yangzhou to have the ability to compete with Cao Mengde no matter what it was for. I didn't want to have to be an enemy destined to become my family's mortal enemy in the future, so I took the road to the land of Merger. First, I can learn from many great Confucians in the world, and second, I hope to learn the skills of becoming ten thousand enemies on the battlefield there, so that I can use my own hands to protect the people I want to protect. ”

Well, Li Shushi has 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 of their in-law relationship with you, sure enough, you can be the prime minister of Eastern Wu not only because you are better than Zhang Zhao, but also because you can casually involve a lot of relationships, but I am afraid that only the little Lu Xun in front of you can compare.

"Are you disappointed that you've met me here now?"

"The state pastor even knows a child like Xun, and he must know everything that happens in other parts of the world, since the state pastor has an understanding of the things in the world, I think your ambition is also this world. Although Xun is not a smart person (Li Shushi said he wants to go crazy), he still has a long time before he becomes an adult, and this time is enough time to see the situation that is obscured by the fog, and before I have to make a choice, I still make enriching myself the first priority. However, Xun also believes that with the ambition shown by adults, before Xun has to make a choice in the future, adults will be able to give Xun the most perfect choice answer, and at that time, I believe that Xun will no longer have to think about how to make a choice, right? ”

"If a child like you can't be called smart, then most of the people here can only be called stupid. I'm still a little confident in my ability to see people, you are a child with great potential, if you can maintain this mentality in the next ten years, I will be very optimistic about your future, and you may be in and out of the picture~

Okay, don't look at me like that, I'm serious. Meeting is fate, even if you don't understand this sentence, it doesn't matter, as an elder, I'll give you something as a meeting gift. Yuzi-chan, that set of books should be given to Lu Gongzi. ”

Well, the content in this set of books comes from the military books in Li Shushi's treasure book, but it does not include "Taiping Yaoshu" and medical books such as "Green Capsule Book", which Li Shushi can't understand at all, although it is not clear whether Xiao Lu Xun is interested in these knowledge, but considering Zhang Jiao's problem, Li Shushi feels that some things are still more appropriate.

Of course, the cost of the book itself is not high, after all, after the printing of movable type, the cost of books continues to decrease, which is also Li Shushi's request, although some of his views are gradually revised, but the desire to popularize knowledge has never stopped.

Therefore, compared to the cost of the books themselves, what is really precious is the content of the books, even if those military books can only be regarded as basic textbooks for the cadets of the War College (recently Li Shushi feels that the military academy is still more imposing with this name), but for Lu Xun, who is not from the military system of the state, it is absolutely difficult to see - the popularity of books at this time is outrageously low.

"The state pastor will be grateful to Huaide for giving Xun so generously, and he will not live up to the state pastor's evaluation of Xun."

Of course, the little girl next to Lu Xun who was called "sister" by Lu Xun also got a gift from Su Xiaololi, although the little girl seemed to be very scared when she looked at Li Shushi, but in the face of Su Xiaololi, who was definitely ill-intentioned in Li Shushi's eyes with the same smile, she was a completely different person. Not only can Su Xiaololi make her laugh with a casual word, but it didn't take a while, as if she recognized Su Xiaololi and was generally unwilling to let go, which made Lu Xun, who had become a minotaur, very surprised.

In Lu Xun's words, "My sister is very recognized, but I didn't expect Mrs. Zun to get her approval so easily" - anyway, Li Shushi is immune to Su Xiaololi's "pickle girl" method, and I always feel that if there is no such eye-catching storage zài as him, Su Xiaololi is probably the protagonist of the popular transformation novel at a certain point.

Well, even if you don't change your body, you can become the female number one among the royal works in the lily category.

It is estimated that even Brother Cheng, who is known as a bulldozer, and Uncle Zhi, who is known as a bulldozer and Brother Cheng, who is even more bulldozer than Brother Cheng, who is a fighter among bulldozers, and I don't know how many generations of ancestors have to kneel down and sing about conquest under Su Xiaololi's sister.

Taking advantage of this atmosphere, Li Shushi put forward the hope that Lu Xun could help him to fool as many displaced people as possible by taking the Lujiang River to the north. Ah no. It is to explain to them the benefits of the north, so that they can 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 let him learn the "forced demolition team" that required super combat effectiveness to change jobs. Since those people themselves don't plan to continue to stay in Lujiang. Why not let them go to a more stable place? Under Li Shushi's rule, it can be said that it was a rare relatively calm area at this time.

So Li Shushi's idea is actually not foolish. Therefore, it is also excellent to be a favor, which can just reduce a lot of the huge pressure on Li Shushi who gave a heavy gift as soon as they met.

Repair a book as a token of Lu Xun and Cheng Yu's meeting. So that Lu Xun can enter the official school of Bingzhou after completing the task, and he can also choose to go to Huangfu Song's War College for further study according to his personal wishes.

In fact, according to Li Shushi's idea, he hopes to be able to keep Lu Xun by his side, just like the current Yang Fu and Sima Yi, including Lu Meng, are always shrouded in Su Xiaololi's "loving" aura, no matter what kind of arrogance they have, they will not be wiped out for a long time, so as to become a brick of the revolution, and where the state army needs to go, my mother no longer has to worry about the lack of people in my hands - the most important thing is that even if these children of the family want to engage in tandem in the future, The fear in their hearts will probably make them think twice before acting, not like the group of heroes in Yanzhou, even if they are extinguished, it will still be a big blow to Cao Cao's army.

At least Li Shushi believes that those Xuzhou family heroes who were originally attracted by Cao Cao will definitely be shaken in their hearts at this time.

Of course, whether Yuan Shao will take advantage of the loophole is not something that Li Shushi can guess, at least from the fact that Yuan Shao dared to send a large number of troops south to aid Cao Cao, and among them there is a powerful old general and thousands of elite soldiers and euphorbia, it can be seen that Yuan Shao is either slapping his swollen face and becoming fat, or he really has the strength to divide his troops.

Li Shushi and Yuan Shao don't have much interaction, but they also know very well that although Yuan Shao likes to act as a façade, he is a guy who calculates everything very clearly behind his back. If he really doesn't have the ability, he can support writing money and food to make up the difference, anyway, with Cao Cao's current financial situation, Yuan Shao may be happier if he gives some money and food, but not necessarily.

Moreover, if it can be determined that Yuan Shao really has something to do with the Karasuma people and even the Xianbei people in the northern grasslands, then with Yuan Shao's financial resources, it is easy to obtain a large number of righteous troops from the north, if it were not for his generals, it is estimated that they will not be too willing to affect their meritorious service, maybe Yuan Shao can solve Gongsun Zan without sending his troops and horses at all.

At least judging from the battle that broke out in Youzhou a while ago, the effect of letting Yuan Shao's generals and strategists command foreign troops is far better than that of the two separately, and Li Shushi does not believe that Yuan Shao will not see this and take advantage of it.

Of course, Li Shushi also believes that Yuan Shao can see clearly that those wolves in the north are not easy to serve, and they are all insatiable, but Yuan Shao's main enemy now is Gongsun Zhan, and the other is him Li Shushi, which can be said to be a deep blood feud with the Hu people in the grassland, and they all belong to the hardliners against the Hu people, and they are all meritorious nobles who climbed up by stepping on the blood of the Hu people.

It's like when Yuan Shu's threat was still very big, even if Yuan Shao and Li Shushi felt that the other party would be a big trouble, they wouldn't show their hostility so explicitly. At most, if he makes some small moves in private, even if Yuan Shao and the Karasuma people and Xianbei people on the grassland reach some kind of tacit understanding, the two sides can't be said to be really close, and the good ones are like a family.

Not to mention anything else, Yuan Shao is a pure and pure son of a family, and his heart must be different for my clan is also the idea of this kind of person, he can regard the grassland Hu people as his subordinates and slaves, but it is absolutely impossible to be a collaborator with equal status, and even Li Shushi's status in Yuan Shao's eyes is slightly insufficient. So this is also the reason why Yuan Shao wants to train his soldiers and horses.

Otherwise, it will turn its face later. Yuan Shao, who was accustomed to using foreign soldiers, suddenly found that he seemed to lack a strong enough army like the Eastern Han Dynasty, which liked to play with razing, even if the excellent performance of the generals was barely supported, but it also made those military generals difficult to defeat in disguise, even if there were loyal ministers like Huangfu Song among them. It is also a thorn in the eye for those in power.

So so. Yuan Shao, who is able to free his hands, will obviously turn his attention to Xuzhou, which is now in a power vacuum.

After all, in addition to Xuzhou, which is still a borderland. Do you want Yuan Shao to cross the ocean to fight the Korean Peninsula, or tear your face to trouble Li Shushi or Cao Cao, or march into the grassland to occupy the place where birds don't for ordinary people.

Yuan Shao is obviously unlikely to be before Gongsun Chan is resolved. It's just not worth taking such a risk.

That night, Li Shushi and his group of people and the homeless people who followed Lu Xun's actions got together for an open-air party, although one side was brightly dressed, and the other side could not be said to be ragged but could also be called dusty, but under the help of the full bread and delicious fresh fish soup, as well as the vulgar but catchy rural slang tune, the guests and hosts were very happy.

And Li Shushi, through such a party, let his "close to the people" image spread among the refugees from Lujiang with the help of the mouths of these refugees, but it made Lu Xun's flickering, ah no, it was a lot easier to persuade the work.

In the early morning of the next day, he said goodbye to Lu Xun and his party, and by the way, he also sent a lot of supplies to this team, anyway, Li Shushi and his party have been eating very well in Hexian recently, and they are not interested in eating those rough dry food for the time being, and taking it out to send personal favors has increased the favorability of those homeless people to Li Shushi a lot - even though it is said that the south is the land of fish and rice, and the usual thing is rice instead of all kinds of pasta, but under the pressure of survival, even the bark, grass roots and even soil can be swallowed, not to mention this fragrant grain.

Su Xiaololi's love came and went quickly, and it seemed to go very fast, and before she turned around in Lujiang for a few days, she seemed to be tired of the local mountains and rivers, although she didn't argue about where to go, but the boring expression on her face made Li Shushi unable to ignore it.

Naturally, when Li Shushi put forward his goal this time, although Su Xiaololi did not raise her hands in approval, but with a look of "I am very interested", she directly overturned a boatload, and those sergeants who acted as sailors became powerful.

Return to the main stream of Huaishui and go down the river, slip through Shouchun under Yuan Shu's nose, and also went to Shaobi by the way before, to take a good tour and explore this water conservancy facility built by Sun Shuao, a famous minister of Chu during the Warring States Period.

And Li Shushi also knows that when Cao Cao got the Huainan area, the Cao Wei regime has rebuilt Shaobi many times, including many famous ministers such as Liu Fu and Deng Ai, and after these renovations, not only the flood drainage and irrigation functions of Shaobi have been greatly strengthened, but also become the most important water transportation artery for the Cao Wei regime to send troops to Jiangdong, so that when the Cao Wei regime confronted Jiangdong, it could continuously transport soldiers and grain and grass from the rear - although after accumulation, even if there was no grain and grass transportation in the Central Plains, The Huainan region also stored enough grain and grass for several years of expeditions, and this is all the credit of Shaobei.

Along the Huaishui all the way east, without encountering any obstacles, he entered the territory of Xuzhou Xiapi Kingdom, abandoned the boat and got on the horse, all the way south, because of the delay for a period of time, so Li Shushi can be said to be without pause, straight to the topic.

As the subordinate minister appointed by Tao Qian, the power in the hands of Di Rong was quite large, not only that no one in the country could restrict his actions, but even the surrounding Guangling County and Pengcheng Kingdom had to snort. Because Tao Qian not only appointed Zhenrong, his own countryman, as the prime minister, but also gave him the right to transport a qiē from here to the three places to pay taxes and make offerings.

It can be said that even if he is an honest official, he can obtain a lot of wealth with such power, not to mention that Zhen Rong was originally a very greedy person, so even if he did not blatantly intercept all taxes, most of them also went into his pockets - if it took several generations of operation for the Mi family in Donghai County to become the top wealthy family in Xuzhou, then it only took a few years for Zhen Rong to make himself the first rich man in the entire Xuzhou who was even more powerful than Tao Qian. The amount of wealth he has accumulated is estimated to be even if the official warehouses in Xingyang are emptied to fill the goods that have been amassed. It's hard to tell whether this official warehouse is enough or not - Li Shushi thinks so. As for the specifics, no one can say.

Because although this Zhen Rong is a huge greed, and his ability is not very good, and his character is even inferior, he can be regarded as a person who has left a great name in history - naturally it will not be the kind of thing that records princes and generals in history books. Rather, it is written by Buddhists in the history of various barnyard officials who sing praises for Buddhists.

This considers himself an extremely devout Buddhist. He is also very fond of promoting Buddhism. Because there is money. Naturally, Buddhist temples can be built in the territory of Xiapi Kingdom, and people can be asked to transcribe Buddhist scriptures and order men, women, and children in Xiapi to recite them in the morning and evening, just like doing morning and evening classes in monks' temples.

There are many temples, and there is naturally a need for a large number of monks and nuns. Not only did the surrounding areas pour into Xiapi a lot of bald heads, but even the local bald heads also increased a lot - staying in the monastery without much work and being able to eat, there are really not many better careers in this troubled world, especially the Buddhists in this year, but they have not been harmed by the idle and boring guy of Emperor Wu of Liang, and it is naturally not taboo, and with the vegetarianism of these people, it is probably not the same thing as slaughtering pigs and sheep.

Even every so-called Buddha's birthday, there will be an activity called "bathing Buddha", which is even more on the flowing water seat, passers-by and merchants, as long as they go to the nearby temple to kowtow and burn incense, there can be a meal on the flowing water seat on the roadside, so that the momentum of this bathing Buddha will be so huge, it is estimated that the multinational games held by Li Shushi are not the opponent of this bathing Buddha meeting.

As for whether there is a so-called "Li Xue in the North, Rong in the South" on the rivers and lakes, Li Shushi said that he was very wronged - his sports meeting can be used to make money in addition to entertainment, instead of spending money like Zhenrong and being a loser.

But probably because of this, Tao Qian turned a blind eye to the problem of Yan Rong's corruption and discipline violations, and it is estimated that he has no other feelings except that he feels that this fellow villager is too capable of tossing.

As long as it is not self-respecting to raise soldiers, the reputation of a mere Buddhist is really not worth mentioning in the eyes of Tao Qian, the world.

It can only be said that Tao Qian is still too simple, and he doesn't know that in modern society, whether it is Nestorianism or Green Religion, all kinds of × and meat bombs are flying, not to mention that Iranian Green Christians can go to the minefield hand in hand, and they don't take their lives seriously at all.

Of course, I also didn't know that in the west of the Western Regions controlled by the Han Dynasty, there was a country called Rest, and there was also a group of legions united by religion - the power of the Fars Cathar Legion, Li Shushi had tried it himself in the Western Regions, maybe their individual combat effectiveness may not be able to surpass the Flying Bear Army led by Dong Zhuo, or the Guishan Gandhara Army that fought wholeheartedly, but their fierce spirit of not fearing death, even Dong Zhuo's Flying Bear Army had to bow down. With the blessing of religion, those people can become a bunch of madmen, real madmen, if the commander wants to.

Do madmen fear injury, sickness, demoralization, or even death?

The only thing that can be called fortunate is that Zhenrong's ability is indeed bad enough, otherwise the history of the late Eastern Han Dynasty will definitely be rewritten.

It's just that even so, in Li Shushi's view, such a series of actions of such a sparse Rongrong can be summed up in one sentence:

"Rich, that's how capricious!" ——A typical second-generation loser.

However, perhaps it is precisely because of this willful state minister, although it is only a few years, the entire Xiapi country has a bit of the style of the Liang country's "four hundred and eighty temples in the Southern Dynasties, how many buildings are in the smoke and rain", so even if the character is low, this lord has become a monk in the mouth of Buddhists, and the reincarnation of the Buddha.

So what is the essence of religion, in the words of a certain chief designer, 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 stricter than the exploitation of the new capitalism after World War II!

It can be seen that Buddhism is no different from Western religions, and the blood and internal organs in it are very warm~ (To be continued......)
