Chapter 289: Unusual
As soon as the next day was dawn, the Luoyang Fangmen and the city gate were gradually opened with the sound of bells and drums that rang throughout the city. Li Ze led Gongsun Changming, Chen Changping, Li Mi and several guards out of the city gate and rushed west along the official road.
It was spring when flowers were blooming. On both sides of the official road, there were green trees and wild flowers dotted on the grass. Looking from a distance, there were large areas of fertile fields, and countless farmers were busy in the fields.
Spring is a good time for literati and poets to recite poems, but for ordinary people, it is the key to ensuring that they can eat enough in a year.
It can be seen that Li Xin is still very attentive in the management of Dongdu. At least, the gurgling streams in the ditches in the fields show that Luoyang is still doing a good job in water conservancy.
The blue sky, white clouds, blue and white flowers, the farmer who plows in the fields, the old cows who are struggling to pull the plow forward, the dogs running around on the ridges, the big roosters singing loudly, the hens and chicks that are cooing, and of course, the rising smoke of cooking, in Li Ze's eyes, the most beautiful scene.
In Wuyi, what he likes to see the most is such a scene.
Because this generation is peaceful and peaceful, representing Kangtai.
But it should have been the most common thing, but now it has become a landscape, because there are really not many places in this world that can achieve such a place.
The world was in turmoil, and the governors of all towns were desperately expanding their troops to prepare for war. A large number of young and strong men were taken away, turning the people working in the fields into old people, women, children and even children.
Li Ze didn't know how many people died in the battle between the governors in other places, but Li Ze knew very well that in the past two years, the attacks of the towns such as Lu Long, Chengde, Henghai, Hedong, and Zhenwu, the young and strong who died in battle were in units of 100,000. From the current perspective, this war was just beginning, and a bigger and more cruel war was still to come.
The labor that could have been used to create wealth has now been sent to the battlefield, and many of them have died worthlessly and turned into a pile of dead bones.
One person dies, the family crys, and the other pillar dies, which means that a family falls into trouble and sinks into decline. Li Ze has seen too many such tragedies.
He tried hard to change all this in Wuyi, but it was just within his ability.
It is too difficult to see such a peaceful and peaceful scene in the eastern capital Luoyang. For a moment, Li Ze even felt ashamed of his strategic planning. Because what he was looking forward to was to let such a peaceful scene be destroyed in the fire of war.
But it was just a moment.
For a patient who is already terminally ill, the medicine stone is ineffective, and no matter how good the medicine is, it cannot save his life. And Datang is such a patient. Even if he uses tiger and wolf medicine, he can only give him a trace of rebirth.
If you want to save the people on this land, improvement is basically useless. Only with a fire, burning everything that is old, can the new body become nirvana in the fire and be reborn in the fire.
The Tang Dynasty was established and had peace and joy for hundreds of years, but it was difficult for any dynasty to escape the end of prosperity and decline. Now, it has reached a new cycle.
Ending all this as soon as possible is the most responsible expression of people on this land, or it will sacrifice the happiness of a generation, but compared to the next hundreds of years or longer, Li Ze thinks it is worth it.
Without the burden of our ancestors, how can we have the peace and joy of our descendants?
I was born in this chaotic world and had the power to change the world in my hands. This is the great responsibility given to me and save the people from water and fire. Who else can I do?
Gongsun Changming didn't know that Li Ze actually thought of so much in the process of galloping his horse. At this moment, he pointed to a small village not far ahead and said, "Shishou, there is Mr. Zhang Hui's seclusion in front of him."
Li Zelema stood, looked at the small village in front of him, and smiled and said, "The master's vision is indeed extraordinary. This is a great place!"
The village is backed by the lush green mountains. The stream in front of the village is gurgling. Peach trees are growing on both sides of the stream. Now the flower bones covered with branches are in bud. Ducks jump down in groups and sometimes go down the stream and down the water. Shishan jumps to the shore again, pouting its flat mouth and shoveling something on the grass. A few big white geese flapping their wings and swaying out of the woods like arrogant princesses. They raised their heads and screamed a few times, and then frightened the ducks to jump back into the water one by one. Several dogs also rushed out and barked at the big white geese. The long wings of the big white geese stretched out and stretched their necks to run towards the barking dog. The dogs were scared and turned around and ran away. In an instant, they entered the village behind the peach trees.
Just looking at this place, it is indeed a paradise.
Li Ze turned over and got off the horse and walked slowly with the horse, "Everyone should get off the horse and walk. We are going to seek talent. When we have a humble attitude and gallop in, we will inevitably disrespect people."
The group got off the horse and led the horse slowly along the country road.
It is the spring plowing season, and farmers sweating everywhere in the fields are busy. They are obviously not ordinary people walking with luxury clothes on the road. They just glanced at them for a few more glances, then turned their heads and went to work on their own.
This is much better than people from other places.
"There are too many people coming to visit Mr. Zhang Hui every year, and the villagers here probably are no longer surprised." Gongsun Changming smiled.
After walking a while further, Gongsun Changming suddenly paused and stared at a field on the side of the road. A man wearing a vest no longer moved away. At this moment, the man also raised his head and looked at Gongsun Changming.
Gongsun Changming threw away the reins of the horse in his hand, walked forward two steps, clasped his fists with both hands, and bowed to the ground: "Brother Zhang, after leaving for many years, his style is still the same. Is it a joy to congratulate you! Is it always good?"
The man in the field looked at Gongsun Changming, but threw the hoe aside, and said coldly: "I'm very upset when I see you."
Li Ze looked at the farmer in front of him in a daze. Gongsun Changming never told him what Zhang Hui looked like, but this did not prevent Li Ze from outlining the appearance of this master in his heart.
Of course it is a feather fan and a slim face, holding a book in his hand, and the image is leisurely.
But the person in front of him had a beard with a beard on his face and the muscles on his arms were bulging, revealing the vest of most of his chest. The thick chest hair was extremely eye-catching. Li Ze would not doubt it at all, but if he wanted to say that he was a master with rich limbs and simple minds, Li Ze would not believe it.
Not only him, but even Chen Changping, Li Mi and others behind Li Ze also widened their eyes. Li Mi had been determined to marry a scholar very early, and she also succeeded. Now she is Cao Zhang's fiancée, and she could not imagine that a Yuan Taixue Jijiu who had been famous for a long time and had a lot of talents all over the world would look like this. She was not like a scholar, but more like a pig slaughter.
"Jie Shuai, this is Mr. Zhang Huizhang, who is famous all over the world." Gongsun Changming turned his head and introduced to Li Ze.
Li Ze stiffly clasped his fists to the black man in front of him and bowed. Speaking of which, this chapter was about the same age as Gongsun Changming, but he looked much younger, or it was because this chapter was unrestrained and Gongsun Changming was too worried.
"The later students came to Li Ze and met Mr. Zhang!" Li Ze saluted respectfully.
Zhang looked back at his son for a long time. Just when Gongsun Changming was worried that this person would embarrass Li Ze, Zhang Hui picked up the hoe and started hoeing in a quiet voice.
This man was very strong. As soon as he hoe went down, half of the hoe fell into the soil, stepped on it, shook it with his hands for a few times, and a large pile of mud was pried up, then turned the hoe and knocked it into small pieces. Behind Zhang Hui, a man who was also barefoot, rolled up his pants, rolled up his sleeves, looked apologetically at Li Ze and others, smiling, but he didn't say anything, but bent down to take out the green seedlings from the basket and planted them in the ground that Zhang Hui had just sorted out.
The atmosphere was a bit awkward. Even Gongsun Changming, who was spilling through on weekdays, was also slightly shrunk in front of this man. At this time, he was carrying his hands behind his back, but his eyes were looking at the horizon.
Li Ze was turned away and was not annoyed. He just stood on the path with a smile, watching Zhang Hui hoe the ground and hoe the ground. Seeing that there was still most of the land left, it was obvious that he could not finish hoeing for a while.
Chen Changping and several guards didn't know what to do. They were not unfamiliar with these farm work, but Li Ze did not speak, so they naturally wouldn't do anything wrong.
After a while, Zhang Hui suddenly put on a hoe, wiped the sweat beads on his forehead, looked at Li Ze and said, "Why don't you help me hoe the ground?"
Li Ze smiled and said, "Because I don't know."
"You can't even pretend to be?"
"I came to see Mr. Zhang to ask for advice sincerely, why should I pretend to be happy? Even if Mr. Zhang can see me, I can see me. If I can't see me, no matter how many things I do, it will be in vain. Maybe I will still fall into a hypocrite in Mr. Zhang's heart." Li Ze said.
Zhang looked back at Li Ze, but this time he smiled, "Are you Gongsun Changming's disciple? I didn't expect that the old fox actually found a good disciple!"
"Half-teacher and half-friend!" Li Ze shook his head and said.
"Encourage and advance together!" Gongsun Changming continued.
This time it was Zhang Hui's turn to be stunned. After a while, he laughed and carried the hoe on his shoulder, "It's very good, it's really good."
