Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Four
The long years are quiet, and there is nothing wrong with it.
The walls are shady, and time flows silently, and it is already early September in a blink of an eye.
Everything was mixed, and the beautiful husband was calm and waited. After sending away the Lu brothers and sisters from thousands of miles away, the green cow cried endlessly, the ox cart came out everywhere, and the moon shirt and green crown floated in Shanyin City.
First, he went to Xiao's Red House with Li Kui to visit Xiao Ran. A few days ago, Li Kui had a very happy contact with Xiao's manager. It was impolite to come but not come. Liu Nong naturally had to come and thank him in person and gave him two sets of glass tea sets, ink sets and wine sets.
There is a set of magnolia wine lords among them, which are the most precious. One pot of eight are jade-white in color, and the sunlight is attached to it, as crystal clear as crystals, and it is rare to buy a thousand gold. Xiao Ran looked very happy, and he was exploring the gentle and smooth wine lords as soft as jade, and he couldn't let go of it. The flowers and cherry blossoms are bright and red, but Xiao Ran only loved Qiulan in his life. When he was elegant in the Lanting, he once chanted a song of orchid to show his ambition. The next thing is that Liu Nong's mellow heart is to treat his friends, how could he not be happy?
When Liu Nong learned that Xiao also built a wine shop in Lanling, he ordered Li Kui to settle the matter with Xiao's manager. In the future, the sales of Huating Zhuyeqing in Lanling County will be sold by Xiao.
Xiao Ran was even more happy that in recent years, Huating Bamboo Leaf Green has been famous for its beautiful reputation in Jiangzuo. Whenever aristocratic families attend elegant gatherings, if they do not have bamboo Leaf Green to help, their poems and essays will be much more beautiful. However, the output of Huating Liu's bamboo Leaf Green has always been low, so most of them only smell the fragrance but not the taste. The Xiao family of Lanling naturally would not like these little profits, and the ones they are trying to be famous.
At that moment, Xiao Ran gave Liu Nong twenty pack horses back, and ordered the manager to reach an agreement with Li Kui. If Liu in Huating needs to buy another pack horse in the future, Xiao will choose to sell it.
Liu Nong thanked happily, and retired war horses also have excellent, good, and poor horses. Excellent pack horses may not be much worse than ordinary war horses. He thought to himself: "The Great Wall of Qin is not a one-day contribution. He will eventually be in one day, and the cavalry will be in the armor...'
From Xiao Ran's Red Mansion, both the master and the servant looked happy.
The autumn wind rolled up the fallen leaves and rushed into the curtains, and the wheels were smashed and all over the ground. Li Kui on the shaft of the car was smiling, and Lai Fu waved his long whip briskly, and the sound of the whip came into the alley from afar.
Liu Nong sat peacefully in the car. He smelled the faint smell of green wood in the autumn wind outside the curtain, his mouth slightly raised and his cheeks slightly wrinkled. After his clothes and hats crossed south, the four major clan kings Xie Yuan Xiao were all good at the scene like spring orchids and autumn chrysanthemums.
The Wang family of Langya had Wang Dao, and Wang Dun controlled the civil and military affairs in Jiangdong. Three percent of the book "Book of Jin" was written about the style of Wang family, and it was a route of being as noble as the emperor: Wang Dun had a rebellion, and if things were done, the Wang family would definitely be extremely noble; while Wang Dao pursued the "righteousness to strengthen the monarch and ministers" and devoted himself to the Sima family. Therefore, even if Wang Dun rebelled and failed, the Wang family could retreat and seek protection, so that they would not die as soon as they declined.
The Xie family in Chen County was not like this. At first, the literature did not control the court, and the martial arts did not build the army. They were only focused on teaching their children and nephews, and they accumulated a lot and became thin and uncontrollable. Looking at the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the elite children of the Xie family emerged one after another. If it were about the elegance and grace, the Xie family was even more prosperous than the Wang family. If it weren't for the five-dou rice rebellion decades later, the Xie family would be like an evergreen family, and welcomed the new face in the morning.
Yuan's family in Chen County advocates humility and integrity, and does not seek to be distinguished by the princes, and does not see swords or swords. It is like Taoist inaction. However, Wudai is not doing nothing. It is lost in the east and gains it. Although Yuan's family is kept in the inner world but not exposed, its foundation is the most secure. Therefore, Wang and Xie both like to marry Yuan's family. When they are in trouble in the future, there will be Yuan's family to rely on. Therefore, the Yuan's family married to all famous families, while the Yuan's girls married to all wealthy families. This is just like an old tree living behind Xinlin, allowing you to pass thousands of autumn winds, and you will eventually blow to my branches.
The Xiao family of Lanling was located at the end of King Xie Yuan Xiao, and its official position and reputation were the least prominent, but they had a large clan and had been doing business for generations. Therefore, they were actually the richest of the four major clans. In the early years of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Xiao family occupied a county in Lanling and worked diligently in business. They seemed to be secretly affiliated with the Wang family, but in fact they developed themselves. In just a few decades, their savings were just like mountain abyss. They were tolerant and did not make any progress. Once they made their way, they captured the world and established the Qi and Liang dynasties.
All aristocratic families that have been in a thousand years have their own way to strengthen themselves, but the last one is the greatest success! Thinking about it, Liu Nong's face is even more smiling, and he can have some contact with the Xiao family of Lanling. Even if he is just doing business, he will never stop. Today is a commercial pack horse, and it may not be a war horse in the future. Walk slowly and slowly, and slowly...
“Well…”
At this time, there was a "crunch" outside the curtain, and the wheels stopped and the ox cart had arrived at Ji's Manor.
Liu Nong picked up the curtain and looked at the Ji family manor with white walls and rich doors. He smiled slightly, waved his sleeves and entered, and visited Ji Zhan, and borrowed the last ten volumes of "Yi Tai Chi Lun".
Ji Zhan is very idle today and is in a good mood. It must be the matter of Jiankang and Liu Wei and Diao Xie. The discussion between the several parties has resulted in the results.
Liu Nong did not inquire and wanted to leave after borrowing the book. Ji Zhan refused and suggested that he would further deduce the military situation.
For two consecutive rounds, the Jiangdong army held by Ji Zhan was defeated by Liu Nong's Yuzhang Army. Just when Ji Zhan was in a state of depressed mood and his expression was slightly depressed, Liu Nong proposed a hypothesis to add another controllable strong army.
Ji Zhan made some preparations and then set up another army. The two of them made another deduction. However, they did not realize that with such a strong army, many changes occurred. Yuzhang's army no longer dared to go alone and directly aim at Jiankang.
There were fighting along the river.
In the end, although the Jiangdong army was still defeated by the Yuzhang army, it made Ji Zhan very relieved and smiled while stroking his silver beard.
Ji Zhan smiled and said, "The military force is the water force. If you add a single part of the shape, you will increase the momentum evenly. This is actually a way of endless changes! However, if you are nine-foot mountain, you will eventually fail. Can Zhan Gui have other methods to supplement it?"
What method is there? Liu Nong smiled faintly, gently put the thin bamboo in his hand, and smiled with his hands: "The saint said: Forty is not confused, fifty, know the destiny of heaven, and the ears are obedient to the ears of sixty. Life is less than a hundred, if it is not for the care of one's body to cultivate one's nature, how many people are there?"
"If life is less than a hundred, if you don't cherish your body and cultivate your nature, there will be more than sixty people..."
Ji Zhan narrowed his eyes, slowly stroked the silver beard on his chest, and chewed Liu Nong's words carefully. He didn't know what he thought of, his eyes suddenly became lit up, and then he looked at Liu Nong deeply without saying a word. Shaoqing laughed loudly. The laughter was extremely refreshing, and the echo was shaking.
Liu Nong smiled and said nothing, and they were tacit.
At that time, the lifespan of aristocratic families and civilians was short. It was scarce if they were over 60 years old. Like Ji Zhan, it was even rarer to live for seventy years. Wang Dun was over 50 years old, and he was extremely indulging in lust. There were hundreds of singers in the military palace, and he was determined to rebel, so his thoughts were irritable. Naturally, it was not in line with the way of nourishing his body. How many years could he live? As long as the Jin family was not defeated too badly, those aristocratic families who were on the verge of waiting will inevitably move. With one decline and the other rising, it is very possible to drag Wang Dun to death.
As far as Liu Nong knew, when Wang Dun rebelled for the first time, he took the initiative to kill Diao Xie and Liu Wei, in the name of "clearing the king's side". He rushed his troops along the Yangtze River to Jiankang, hoping to take over the Sima family and replace him. However, because the court officials and families were fiercely opposed, he imprisoned Sima Ruiyou until he died. During the second rebellion, because Ji Zhan introduced Xi Jian's Yanzhou army, Xi Jian took the initiative to attack and fought with Wang Dun. In an instant, many waiters saw the situation and stood up to support Emperor Ming Sima Shao, and finally dragged Wang Dun to death.
Ji Zhan became more and more excited as he thought about it. He hugged the silver beard and wandered around the long desk, his eyes were bright and dark, and his lips opened and closed without hearing the sound. Liu Nong knew that he was thinking, so he was not inconvenient to say more at this time, so he bowed deeply and said goodbye and left.
As soon as he left, Ji Zhan stopped and hid outside the door with Yueshan. But he asked, "Bo Ren, what do you think of this son?"
Zhou Yan turned out from behind the screen. Du went to Ji Zhan, looked outside the door and smiled, "Huating beautiful crane Liu Zhan is amazing, great! In time, he will be a pillar of the country!"
Ji Zhan nodded and said, "Well, I am young and have a bloody nature. I am not confused and sleepy. I am indeed a good talent. However, where can I find such a strong army?" As he said, Wei Ran sighed and thought to himself: "The situation is now subtle. If the army is built with great fanfare, it is afraid that it will not be completed yet, so Wang Dunchaining will rush his army down. How can he resist? Besides, this move will inevitably touch the aristocratic family...'
The Eastern Jin Dynasty was not a separate dynasty, but a family of northern regions established together. When the Northern countries moved south, it not only brought a large number of talents but also followed countless troops. The imperial family had no military power in hand! Looking at the Eastern Jin Dynasty, several northern expeditions and several rebellions, all the private armies of aristocratic families were controlled. This is the case.
Zhou Ying also frowned and said, "Cultivating an army is a major event. You must not be too hasty. Even if you want to build it, you must be justified. Otherwise, you and I may become sinners in the Jin Dynasty!"
"That's right..." Ji Zhan agreed deeply, and abandoned the path of building an army in his mind and found another way.
In the deciduous track, the wheels rolled.
Liu Nong also thought about the establishment of the army in the car, his eyes wide open and closed as if the stars fell into the lake.
During the rebellion between Empress Jia and the Eight Kings, the Qing Dynasty flourished, and the aristocratic families would rather indulge in the mountains and fields and return home from drunkenness than serve the court. They seemed to be indifferent to fame and fortune, but in fact they were deeply afraid: today, they still had a high-capped jade belt in the court, and tomorrow they would be beheaded and left in the downtown area. Therefore, after the Jin Dynasty moved south, the aristocratic families took power, although there was no clear law, the secret case had become: imperial power, no military power! Military power was controlled by the military and civil governors of the states and civil affairs.
At this time, the aristocratic families were free, straightforward and open-minded, because they no longer had to fear that they would suddenly die and be eaten by wild dogs. Even the Northern Army, which became famous in the world in the future, was under the name of Xie.
Liu Nong naturally dared not challenge the general trend. Whoever dared to go against the trend would definitely be broken. Therefore, he only dared to say to Ji Zhan: If there is a strong army, guide Ji Zhan to think about it himself and thus introduce Xi Jian. Xi Jian will inevitably lead his army to Jiangdong. This move can be used to sell Ji Zhan's feelings, so why not do it?
Moreover, Liu Nong provided three strategies to Xie Li, among which there was a matter of building a single army, which was to implement the Northern Prefecture Army in advance. This move was certainly feasible, because Xi Jian and Yanzhou Army entered Jiangdong in the future, and the aristocratic families were afraid that they would be as big as the Wang family. In order to balance the situation, they urgently needed to build another army to compete with the Yanzhou Army. This was why Huan Wen started.
Huan Wen, Liu Nong shook his head and thought to himself: "If I had too late, why would I let the Xie family... If the Xie family established an army, it would be Xie Yi or Xie Shang's leadership. Xie Yi was determined to go north, which is very good...'
In the east of the city, there is an alley called Peach Blossom.
There are no peach blossoms in Peach Blossom Lane. After passing through the alley, you will see a rotten golden sea after walking half a mile. In late autumn, the peach blossoms have already withered, but now the peach leaves are rotten golden.
Deep in this peach forest, there is a small villa, which is a Wang family living courtyard, which is built only to view peach blossoms in March. Although the courtyard is not big, it is staggered and vaguely visible sharp corners of red pavilions floating around the peach forest. The ox cart is slowly walking in the mud path, pressing the broken leaves to make a sound. Suddenly, the birds chirp outside the curtain, which immediately adds some vitality to this thick autumn.
Zhang Mai and others were at the entrance of the road, squatting at the foot of the snow-white puppy, and the eyes of each person and the dog were all casting their eyes in the peach forest. He represented the wishes of Zhang from Jiangdong and came to Kuaiji School Museum to study at the invitation of Director Wang. Therefore, his stay and all the requirements were provided by Wang. Yesterday, Liu Nong sent someone to send a famous post, which will be visited today.
Huating Meihe Liu Zhanfeng, Zhang Mai was very happy with his style. Although the two of them were studying in Kuaiji, they actually rarely met. While waving their heads, they were secretly thinking: After seeing Meihe, they must show him my whistle...
"Moo!"
At this moment, a long cry sounded, and the green cow carried the bevel horns, stepped on the golden leaves, pulled out the carriage with dark crabapple patterns, and walked slowly. The white robe on the shaft looked at the man and dog waiting in the distance, smiled, and shook an empty whip.
"Seeing!"
Zhang Mai was delighted, and strode towards the ox cart, followed by a barking little white dog.
Liu Nong picked up the curtain and bowed and smiled, "Luo Zhongren is waiting for the Tao, Liu Nong is very lucky."
Zhang Mai smiled and said, "Huating Meihe came, Zhang Mai was here to welcome him as he swept the bed."
"Woom!" The little white dog shouted at Liu Nong. It remembered him, and the former owner almost sent him.
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Zhang Mai seemed to understand how it was screaming. Xuxu kicked it, which scared the little white dog so much that it took several steps. Then he stood up and hugged Zhang Mai and Liu Nong, bowing.
"Ha ha……"
Zhang Mai laughed loudly, Liu Nong smiled.
The two walked side by side and walked into the yard. Zhang Mai led Liu Nong to the Zhuting Pavilion in the yard, with a cluster of new reed mats spread out. A piece of agarwood had been smoked, and the wine and food were all on the table.
While chatting, Zhang Mai pressed his knees and roared, his voice was like a rolling cloud, and his momentum was like thunder.
"How wonderful!"
Liu Nong laughed and praised: "The roar of Zhongren already shows the appearance of infantry!"
Zhang Mai drank a lot of wine, supported his vermilion face, and asked with a smile: "What is the image of infantry?"
Liu Nong narrowed his eyes and stared at the person in front of him, smiling: "But based on what he thinks in his heart and what he wants in his heart, it is the image of infantry!"
Zhang Mai was stunned for a while, then bowed deeply and said seriously: "Seeing the gift is really a soulmate! Zhang Mai used to learn howls people whistle, so he was not able to get the gods! Now, when he whistle, he will not learn from others, but only feel the meaning in his heart!"
Liu Nong clapped his hands and praised, "This is great kindness!" Then he remembered his purpose of coming, and his expression was stunned. Then he grabbed the wine glass and walked slowly to the side of the pavilion. He saw a rotten sea of autumn wind blew over, like waves rolling. Shaoqing had a certainty in his heart, and he looked back and said bluntly: "Zhongren, I really don't hide it. Liu Nong came today, but for one thing..."
...
