Chapter Eighty-Eight: Conversation (II)
Xiaocui was puzzled: "Why can't you see the light?" ”
"Ahem"
Zhang Rui and Zhang Kaishan coughed embarrassedly twice at the same time.
Zhang Rui said: "We are all mountain people, not subject to the control of the government, do not have to pay taxes every year to serve the service, but there is no registration in the official book, if you come to the capital so recklessly, you will be caught but you will be beaten into the lowly nationality, the light one will be sold by the government, and the one will be a slave for a lifetime, and the heavy one will lose his head. ”
Mountain people, to put it bluntly, are barbarians who do not obey the discipline of the government, and the government naturally hates such people, and whoever is caught will naturally not end well.
Xiao Cui began to worry: "Then what should I do?" Knowing that your master is in trouble, how can you sit idly by and ignore it? ”
"yes!" Zhang Rui answered, "In fact, the most worrying thing for us is not the problem of this identity, as long as we go to the government of Yinzhou with the silver to pay all the taxes and silver owed according to age, there is no problem, the government will naturally register for us, in fact, what worries us the most is the cavalry that suddenly disappeared with 10,000 horses."
Xiao Cui has unconsciously clenched her fists, although Zhang Rui is reminiscing, but in Xiao Cui's ears, she is extremely nervous, as if she is immersed in this qiē.
Zhang Rui seemed to know the doubts in Xiaocui's heart, and he didn't sell it, and then said: "The girl doesn't know, the nine mountains and eighteen villages in Yinzhou have been a place of strict troubles since ancient times, and the imperial court used troops a little bit as early as when the former Wu State ruled this area. Therefore, the students and Deng Zhai were so nervous when they saw that the 10,000 cavalry suddenly disappeared under their noses.
But we don't have time to plan carefully, on the one hand, Master Xiaodouzi brought back the news, Master is in the capital, life and death are unknown, can not ask Master, on the other hand, 10,000 cavalry from the Moon Kingdom suddenly disappeared under our noses, Yinzhou has always been rumored, when the emperor Li Hongyi started back then, but the soldiers and horses borrowed from the Moon Country only have today's Li family, we strictly suspect that this is Li Hongyi united the Moon Kingdom. If you want to have a big sweep of our Yinzhou, I will have a chill on my back
Time. People are scared."
Speaking of this, Zhang Rui suddenly (5) ≡ dǐng (5) ≡ diǎn (5) ≡ small (5) ≡ said, .⊙.o●s_ (); He knelt in front of Zhao Ruoxin with a puff again, and repented sincerely: "Master, please also punish the students." Without your instructions. The student made the decision for you on his own."
Zhao Ruoxin hurriedly helped him up. There was a warm feeling in his heart, this Zhang Rui can make more than 30,000 people in Yinzhou retreat, no matter what kind of wrong decisions he makes. Where could she blame him?
Zhao Ruoxin smiled gently, and was full of relief to help him tidy up his wrinkled clothes: "Master, how can you blame you, you just say it, your decision can make more than 30,000 people survive, it's too late for Master to thank you"
Zhang Rui touched the back of his head innocently, he was praised by Zhao Ruoxin so much, obviously feeling a little embarrassed, you must know that in this year, when Zhao Ruoxin taught them when she was sober, she scolded them one by one for being stupid like a pig.
He then said: "Lord Deng Zhai shouted that he wanted to come to the capital to vent his anger for Master and Brother You, and the whole army of 5,000 was going straight to the capital, but the students couldn't stop him, and there was no choice but to go to the government office with the silver to clear all their identities."
Looking back, the students thought that if there was no protection from the lord of Deng Zhai, the remaining family members, old and young women and children would not be the opponents of the imperial court's soldiers and horses, so the students asked them to take away everything they could take away, and sell what they couldn't take away, and immediately go back to the land of Chuyang, where is the territory of our three major tribes, with 100,000 soldiers, and the steel city that we have built at the expense of this year
In this way, our soldiers were divided into two ways, one part of them were made up of students, Xiaodouzi and Deng Zhai, who dressed up as ordinary people and came straight to the capital, and the other part returned to the land of Chuyang, the land of Yinzhou and Yinzhou, Master, you have been working hard for more than a year, and you were defeated by the students."
Speaking of this, Zhang Rui's eyes dodged, and he didn't dare to look directly at Zhao Ruoxin anymore, his neck, which was not long, was about to shrink into his stomach, looking at his appearance, he was afraid that Zhao Ruoxin would get angry, blaming him for being a loser, maybe he would be hated.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Ruoxin laughed loudly, her good-looking eyes were shining, and her hearty laughter was definitely the most cheerful she had laughed in more than a year.
"Haha"
Zhao Ruoxin laughed non-stop, at least for a quarter of an hour before she gradually stopped, laughing so much that when Zhang Rui was already hairy, she saw Zhao Ruoxin regain her original style, and slapped him on the shoulder several times: "Little braincase, good look, really worthy of my Zhao Ruoxin's proud disciple, the ancients said that the sage Confucius had three thousand disciples, seventy-two, and now I Zhao Ruoxin also has three thousand disciples, but you Zhang Rui is enough!" ”
Zhao Ruoxin's evaluation is already the ultimate among the people Zhao Ruoxin has seen in this world, and with Zhang Rui's plan, Zhang Rui has completely scratched the same sign in her heart at this moment.
In terms of science and technology, perhaps people in this world will never be able to compare with her Zhao Ruoxin, but in such an overall situation, Zhao Ruoxin thinks that even if she is in a different place, if she does not have the help of the gene chip in her brain, her handling may not be as good as Zhang Rui, who is small and has a small head in front of her.
A former mountain bandit, after a year of teaching, has transformed into such a dazzling one, looking at the little brain case again, Zhao Ruoxin has more of a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction as a teacher and educating a proud disciple.
But to say that Xiaocui is not too much compared to this Zhang Rui, when Zhao Ruoxin was teaching at the foot of Yuping Mountain, the time of teaching was only two short months, and compared with Zhang Rui, there are naturally very few things to learn, but even so, she can pull Chujiazhai, a group of reckless people who don't use their brains, to the capital to gain a firm foothold, which shows that it is not something ordinary people can do.
Later, in the Q&A where Xiaocui always asks about key places. Zhang Rui explained everything clearly and clearly, it turned out that after they learned the news, they dismissed the people from Yinzhou and went to Deng Xuliang to come to the capital with the whole army, and there was a delay of almost ten days in the middle, which led to the fact that Zhao Ruoxin had not seen the news of Xiaodouzi in the capital.
You Xiaojiang went back to Yinzhou first to save people that day, in fact, he just ran out for a day and met Xiaodouzi on the boundary of Yuding Prefecture, and then a group of people went to the capital to settle down, You Xiaojiang was crazy during this time and seemed to be looking for Zhao Ruoxin's whereabouts, and he had been blasted out dozens of times in a row by the descendants of Qing'an Palace. He is still persevering in the night to visit the palace.
"Idiot"
Hear here. Xiao Cui burst into a foul language full of disgust, although she was scolding, but between her eyebrows, she still couldn't hide the joy of hearing You Xiaojiang be well.
"It's been thrown out dozens of times. He still has to persevere in exploring the palace at night. Did his brain get caught in the door? Didn't you think that Master and I weren't in the palace at all?
Hmph this tour of the river. It's really stupid, what about backbone? A big man, stumped, does not have a diǎn backbone. It's good for you to go straight into it with a real knife and a real gun, it's really enough to embarrass me and Master, look back and see that I don't screw his ears."
Xiao Cui muttered, looking like she hated iron but not steel, but between the words, she had already changed Zhao Ruoxin's title from Ruoxin to Master like Zhang Rui.
In this regard, Zhao Ruoxin didn't bother to bother with her, Xiaocui wanted to call her master, and of course she deserved it.
Seeing Xiaocui like this, the corners of Zhao Ruoxin's mouth curled, evoking a playful smile, and she always felt that this little girl's attitude towards You Xiaojiang seemed to be diǎn worth playing.
But just as she was holding back her laughter and looking at Xiao Cui seriously, Xiao Cui suddenly looked at her and snorted very seriously: "Master, what are you doing with You Xiaojiang all the time?" I've never seen a stupid person like him, tell me, has he ever won a battle since he followed you? ”
Zhao Ruoxin held back a smile, learned from Xiaocui's appearance, and shook her head very seriously: "I have never won once"
"Hmph" Xiao Cui stomped her foot, "What's the use of using him?"
Zhao Ruoxin thought about it seriously and said: "Except for eating more than others, it really doesn't seem to be useful."
"That's not the end, drive him away, don't want him"
"Puff" Zhao Ruoxin's smile trembled, "Really drive away?" ”
Seeing Zhao Ruoxin smiling suspiciously, Xiao Cui seemed to have just woken up, her pretty face turned red to the root of her ears, and she muttered for a long time before she could hold back a sentence: "I, I think he is useless, and he wastes food to drive him away, a tendon, a dead brain, has been thrown out so many times, and he actually has to go to the palace at night, do you say he is stupid?"
"Haha"
At the same time, Zhang Kaishan, Zhang Rui and Zhao Ruoxin's silver bell-like laughter sounded in the courtyard.
I only heard Zhang Kaishan say in a loud voice like a broken bellows: "If he wasn't a tendon, then he wouldn't be Brother You, Miss Xiaocui, you go and inquire, our people in Yinzhou, who is not persuading him to stop stealing dogs every day, but what about him, it's not like he's poisoned, as long as anyone doesn't pay attention to it, he steals dogs again."
When the black tiger, who was squatting aside and listening with relish, heard this, his shiny black hair suddenly stood upside down, as if he sensed that great danger was approaching, and he cracked open his bloody mouth and made a whining sound.
Everyone turned their heads to look at it, and the black tiger hurriedly hid behind Zhao Ruoxin with his tail between his legs, which caused everyone to laugh for a while.
Zhang Rui squeezed his eyebrows and said: "Brother You, this is called persistence, a man, it is better to be stubborn, it means that such a man is reliable and not easy to change his mind, Miss Xiaocui, don't you say?" ”
Xiao Cui's face had already turned into a red apple, and she was about to drip water: "Oh, what are you talking about?" Xiaocui don't pay attention to you, hum to cook, I won't cook it for you, and the master won't do it either, who told you to make fun of me"
After speaking, Xiao Cui ran to the kitchen as soon as she slipped away, and there was a sound of ping-pong in the kitchen.
Zhao Ruoxin and the three of them outside the courtyard glanced at each other, and they all laughed playfully, such a scene has the atmosphere of Wuzhen.
Looking back, Zhao Ruoxin was upright, and then asked, "Where did Deng Xuliang go?" ”
Zhang Rui smiled and said, "Master, you said that Master Deng Zhai, the student asked him to buy locusts."
"Buying locusts?"
Zhao Ruoxin was confused.
Zhang Rui scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "A few days ago, I heard that Brother You said that solving the locust plague is one of your great wishes, Master, after the student arrived in the capital, he thought hard for three days, and felt that this was a win-win deal, so he asked Deng Zhai to take people out to buy locusts. ”
"Win-win?"
Zhao Ruoxin's eyes lit up with a smile, she once wrote such a method to deal with the locust plague, but unfortunately she had no money in her hand at the time, and the response method written by the boss was handed over to Li Yong, so that this method has not been able to be implemented.
Zhang Rui said: "Master, didn't you once say that this locust is rich in protein, and after drying, it is ground into flour, and then some corn flour and rice bran are added, which can be made into a good feed.
Zhao Ruoxin was relieved again, yes, this is really a win-win solution, no wonder she heard that there were already people in the wheat field who were starting to catch locusts when she went all the way to the capital before, and it turned out that the root cause was Zhang Rui here.
Suddenly, Zhao Ruoxin frowned again: "How much money did you bring?" There are a lot of states and counties where the locust plague broke out this time, and there is less money, but it can't do such a big thing! ”
"Hehe" Zhang Rui smiled shyly, "It's not much, the money brought has already bought some properties on the side of Jinling Lane, and there are only 500,000 taels left."
"How much?"
Zhao Ruoxin's eyes widened with fright, she always knew that the private salt alone was very profitable, but she had been crazy before, and she didn't know how much money these mountain people made like two fools.
If there are really 500,000 taels, then it is really the locusts in the entire land of the Darong Dynasty have been bought, and there is a surplus, you must know that locusts are not comparable to grain, a copper plate to buy a catty, there will be a large number of people who are willing to do farm work all day long to catch locusts.
The three people in the courtyard were talking, and suddenly heard Xiao Cui in the kitchen snorting and shouting: "You guys say, what do you want to eat, Xiao Cui is going to make it for you!" ”
Hearing the sound, the three of them turned their heads to look at the kitchen at the same time, as if they had agreed, and had a tacit understanding, and said in unison: "Don't eat"
