Sages often say: Simple desires can be obtained by indulgence; noble desires require patience and patience.
Some time ago, Liu Desheng diverted the disaster north for his own benefit, which really ruined the Lingyuan Mountains, a treasure land. When Liu Yi and others entered the mountains, the ground turned into a glacier, everything was silent, and all the beasts disappeared. OK.
It seems that within a few years of cultivation, this treasure mountain will not be able to recover its vitality.
Before the end of the year, Liu Yi eagerly led his troops north to Lingyuan for the noble desire in his heart.
The tomb built for Cheng Lao two years ago has long been washed away by the flood, and the whereabouts of the birds and animals in the mountains are also unknown. In just one year and a few months, the feeling that things are different and people have changed has flooded into me. In Liu Yi's heart, since he had nowhere to worship, Liu Yi simply piled a pile of stones under an ancient tree and said to the small pile of stones, "When I grow up, you and the land you love have become one!"
Overall, the Pingtian soldiers and horses led by Liu Yi who came out of the Lingyuan Mountains to the north are still quite capable.
Among the team, Li Erniu's 200 cavalry were temporarily under the control of Wang Dali. The mature and steady Wang Dali led the troops as a vanguard general and opened the way from the front; Ying Cheng and Yang Liu followed the tiger dead soldiers and hid on the flanks to take charge of reconnaissance and information. Pass; fifty bodyguards act as internal guards to surround Liu Yi; Li Erniu serves as the junior Sima of the Chinese Army and follows Liu Yi in the center; Qiao Miaoqing leads one hundred county soldiers to the rear.
In the team of nearly four hundred people, there were middle-level warriors, scouts, and commanders. They were all well-equipped. They were all in high spirits, with purple lightning and clear frost. The great masters of Lingyuan County gave Liu Yi plenty of face.
Sitting on the racing red rabbit, Liu Yi was moved by the scene. In the midst of emotion, he quietly told Li Erniu and Qiao Miaoqing about the joys and sorrows of a year's travels, from the blessing of old age, to the battle between gods and men in Shuihe Temple, to The deceased mentor Shi Chen bravely broke into the Qiling Gang, and then went to Zhangwu County where the two armies fought against each other. Then he talked about Dongfang Yu from Yi Xian, Gongsun Ling from Fan Tingnan, and Mou Xiao from Su Ran. Unknowingly, Then we came to the starting point in the story, Wanfo Mountain and Wanfo Temple.
Liu Yi pointed at the three broken houses on the top of the mountain with the small wooden stick in his hand, and said with a gentle smile, "I will stay here tonight and set off for Zhangwu County the next day!"
After learning from the last ambush in Yanshan, everyone was very cautious about camping in the wild. After receiving Liu Yi's order, Li Erniu immediately commanded the front troops to dismount their horses and build trenches, the escorts to chop wood to make fires, and the county soldiers to set up camps and traps. The soldiers explored all directions, and Li Erniu, the newly promoted little Sima of the Huaxing Armed Forces, kept the team of more than 300 people in good order.
...
Speaking of Yanshan, we have to mention Zhang Youxia, the main planner of the Yanshan ambush. After Liu Yi escaped, he felt that something was wrong, so he immediately framed the blame and placed all the charges on those who were killed. They massacred the local gangsters afterwards, and after being acquitted, they personally carried heavy gifts and went to Lingyuan City to apologize to Liu Yi. Liu Yi, under Liu Quansheng's instruction, only scolded Zhang Youxia with a few words.
Afterwards, Liu Yi asked his father the reason, and Liu Quansheng said calmly, "When Pingtian is established, everything will be prosperous. It is not appropriate to make too many enemies at this moment."
Liu Yi asked in surprise, "The wildfire will not burn out, and the spring breeze will blow again. Letting the tiger return to the mountain at this time is tantamount to asking for trouble!"
Liu Yi always remembers that when his father praised Liu Yi for growing up, he said to Liu Yi sincerely, "Zhang Youxia is courageous and incompetent, and does not know his own abilities. Such people will be killed if they do many unjust things. Do you think this matter will be over? Zhang Youxia How will my brother's life in Xuanhuai County be like?"
Liu Yi understood immediately. He suddenly remembered old Zhao Yao's fiery and thunderous temperament, and immediately burst out laughing.
...
Back to reality.
Everyone was talking and laughing. When they pushed open the broken door of Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, a green lantern was lit out of thin air from inside the house. Everyone was shocked and turned pale, looking at each other.
Yang Liu scratched his head and said cheerfully, "I've really seen a ghost!"
Qiao Miaoqing furrowed her brows, "When I scolded the dead men just now for investigating, I didn't find anyone in this house!"
After a moment's judgment, Li Erniu, Yang Liu and Qiao Miaoqing immediately knew that this person was not low-level, and quickly protected him in front of Liu Yi. Xia Qing, who was next to him, twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, but did not make a sound. He just looked timid and turned slightly to Liu Yi. Get a little closer.
"Having to plow at dawn, the cows are powerless and the people are silent. At that time, people did not see the hardships of the farmers, and laughed and said that the fields and grains grew on their own." When everyone was suspicious, an old and powerful voice suddenly came from the house, "Come in! Little friend Liu Yi , old man, I have been waiting for a long time."
Liu Yi thought for a moment, then turned around and smiled at everyone, saying, "If the seniors in the room want to kill me, I am afraid that I will be dead long ago. Don't panic, I will come as soon as I can!"
After saying that, she walked towards the house. The door opened by itself. Qiao Miaoqing secretly moved towards the house a few times, but was slowly blown back by a gust of breeze. She could only stick out her tongue and wait quietly.
In the eyes of everyone, Liu Yi was very stable at this moment. It seemed that he was born with a noble temperament of leading the group, which aroused everyone's admiration.
Everyone thought this, but Liu Yi didn't. At this moment, his true condition was that his limbs were numb, his expression was stiff, and he was extremely frightened. Apart from walking numbly towards Wu Nai, he no longer had the mood to show fear.
...
Entering the house, the door closes automatically when there is no wind. Liu Yi stepped forward, took a long breath, gave a junior salute to the old man who had his back turned to him, and said respectfully, "Junior Liu Yi, pay homage to my senior."
"Haha! Liu Yi, this name is inspired by the young emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty who died of illness after reigning for only seven months." A hale and hearty old man with pale hair, a taro leaf in his hair, turned around and made a greeting He made a gesture and said warmly, "There is no need to be polite. It would be rude of me to call my little friend here today."
"Obviously it's the junior who has thrown himself into the trap, so how can it be that the senior invites me out of the blue?"
Liu Yi smiled awkwardly and sat down on the futon, opposite the old man. From the corner of his eye, Liu Yi was surprised to find that the exposed land inside the house was actually lush and full of green plants and vegetables. This was completely different from the decaying greenery in northern Saibei in winter. And from the vigorous growth of the green plants, it can be seen that the old man has indeed been waiting for a long time.
After recalling his thoughts, Liu Yi carefully asked tentatively, "Senior, you have gone through all the trouble to wait for me here. What do you mean?"
"It's nothing. In the past few years, the old man has been opening up wasteland in Fengzhou. He has been very lonely. I heard that a young man here was ordered to implement the "Five Grain Civil Order". Old man, I came here to see the excitement." The old man smiled kindly. , "Old man, I have been growing taro all my life. If you don't give up, just call me Taro Old Man."
"Old Yu is energetic and energetic, and the younger generation will envy him."
Seeing that the other party roughly reported his name, Liu Yi felt confident. At least the old man had no ill intentions at the moment. Otherwise, with his level, the few people he brought would not be enough to fill his teeth.
"Haha! Look at your eloquent mouth, but you are the son of the leader of the 'Three Heroes of Quzhou'. I have a question for you. No matter how you answer, whether it is right or wrong, old man, I will wait for you to answer. Leave immediately after finishing."
Liu Yi slowly returned, "Senior, please."
Taro Lao plucked the taro leaves on his head and asked with a smile, "What do you think of the Five Grains Civil Order?"
Liu Yicai didn't believe that this old man would come all the way here to ask for just one answer. If he didn't answer what he wanted, I'm afraid his life would have to stay under this green light!
Thinking of what Mr. Yao had just said that he had been farming all his life, Liu Yi was inspired. His plans came from his heart and his words came from his mouth, "Old Mr. Tao, this order is vast and concise, covering all aspects of farming. Although the younger generation has learned a lot, it is not the same." Being proficient in farming and mulberry matters, it would be ridiculous for seniors to ask juniors to explain the "Five Grains and Civil Orders"."
After saying this, Liu Yi, who wanted to prevaricate, looked at Mr. Taro from the corner of his eye, and saw that he was still smiling, but the green taro leaf on his head was emitting a light green light. Liu Yi I judge that this is a sign that Mr. Taro is tempted to kill someone!
Liu Yi was shocked in his heart: It seems that what he expected was true. This old man has a very feminine character.
Thinking of this, Liu Yi changed the topic and immediately added, "However, since the junior is responsible for the Pingtian of the five counties, I still have some experience with the Pingtian chapter in the "Five Grain Civil Order". Otherwise, the junior will recite it to the senior. ?”
Seeing Yu Lao, his expression remained unchanged and he remained calm.
Liu Yi swallowed and spit. For him who had no power to restrain the chicken, this moment was a desperate situation. A desperate desire to survive showed in his eyes. Immediately, his eyes became firm and he said decisively. , "In recent years, the oxen have been working silently without resting their shoulders, plowing three-foot-long plows, and working hard to cultivate the gardens. The harvest has been harvested, and the grains have been returned to the warehouse, but there are still people who are hungry. What is the reason? In the final analysis, the fields cultivated are owned by some noble families. The fields and the warehouses returned are the warehouses of some noble families. The actions of the younger generation in the five counties to flatten the fields will definitely lead to life and death and offend the powerful. But if the people can regain their lost land, farm happily, and have enough to eat, Yijiu will die. not regret!"
What he said was off-topic, but what he answered was his true temperament. This is in line with Zhengdao Jianghu's inner righteousness.
The word "kindness" blurted out, and the taro old man had drifted away, leaving only a taro leaf on the table. An ethereal voice filled the room, "The sun and the moon look at the shadows, and the mirror is not empty. Take care, little friend, and keep this leaf, maybe you can Save you from danger, let’s see you another day!”
Liu Yi carefully put away the leaves, his back already soaked with sweat.
...
Perhaps, Liu Yi spent his whole life unable to understand why a farmer who was thousands of miles away came here to seek bad luck for a young boy like him.
This answer was hidden in the heart of his second uncle, who had already been renamed Jiang Ruisheng!
...
At dinner, everyone sat around a table in the middle of a bonfire. Liu Yi told everyone about the hidden murderous intent in the hut. The atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became much more depressing.
After all, Xia Qing is someone who has been through the world. After listening to what Liu Yi said, she said, "If my prediction is correct, the old man in the house today is one of the five old men in the farm, Mr. Yu."
Liu Yi asked, "Why do you see me? Boss Xia."
Xia Qing said calmly, "The vast expanse of China spreads into nine streams and enters Xuanbo. There are hundreds of schools of thought in the pre-Qin period, and the world has its own conclusions and rankings. Sima Tan, the historian of the Western Han Dynasty, summarized the 'philosophers' as Yin-Yang, Confucianism, and Mohism. , name, law and morality; Ban Gu added three new schools in "Hanshu·Yiwenzhi", which were combined into nine major academic schools, including Confucianism, Taoism, Yin-Yang School, Legalism, Farmers, Mingjia, Mohism, Politicians, Among the nine streams of Zajia, Confucianism and Taoism are the best, and together with Buddhism and Taoism from the Western Regions, they become the three upper sects. The title of 'Three Religions and Nine Streams' is still used today. As a prominent school in the world, the peasant family has a very respected status."
Taking a mouthful of hot water into his throat, Xia Qing continued to speak, "Farmers pay attention to agriculture. In the late Shang Dynasty, farmers of all generations have taken 'cultivating hunger, relieving famines, and eradicating the five pests' as their own responsibility. They have high popularity and are also among the disciples of the ninth stream. The most numerous sect. Its disciples are the sum total of the disciples of the above three sects."
Speaking of this, Xia Qing couldn't help but show admiration in her eyes, "The stronghold of the peasant family is not in Fengzhou in the west. After the Qin and Han Dynasties, most of the Western Region and the southwestern plateau that experienced heavy snowfall were included in the territory of the Han Dynasty. The leader of the peasant family at that time wanted to replace the Han Dynasty. The empire farmed, and led one hundred thousand peasants to leave the Central Plains and move to Fengzhou. From then on, they settled in Fengqiao County, Fengzhou, where they taught farming and mulberry cultivation. The previous generation of peasant leaders even lost their imperial skills. , nourishing the land with his own cultivation, and after more than forty years of hard work, Fengzhou's miserable situation of poor farming and desolation has been greatly improved, and it was called Northwest Jiangnan by the emperor. And the farmers are indispensable for this."
Hearing this, Liu Yi's heart surged, "With an inch of stem and a hundred feet of shade, you are a great farmer!"
Some people died, but not completely...
