Chapter 50: The Choice
After getting to know Liu Feng better, Guo Chongtao found that he was calm and ruthless. What is especially rare is that Liu Feng's various practices seem to have opened a door for him, a different world.
And what makes him hesitate now and decide whether to stay and serve Liu Feng has two things, one is that Cizhou is in the land of four wars, and Liu Feng's actions like this will eventually lead to trouble; Moreover, he is a little embarrassed now, because his previous remarks just contradicted Liu Feng's beliefs, and he rashly chose to stay, for fear that Liu Feng and others would underestimate him.
At this time, Liu Feng was also entangled, he deliberately stayed in Xianghe Cottage for a few more days, and talked with Guo Chongtao about the current situation on weekdays, which made him feel more and more that this bohemian scholar was a rare talent.
After Guo Chongtao introduced the current situation, he had a deeper understanding of the predicament in front of him, and he also felt that leaving this scholar who was both civil and military in Liujiabao would bring him more surprises. It's just that I don't know Guo Chongtao's attitude yet, and I'm afraid that my abrupt opening will make each other embarrassed.
The two seem to have some tacit understanding, but they don't make their words clear, and they are also teachers and friends who often discuss various issues together, but they often argue with red faces.
……
On both sides of Huangsha Lake, the mountains are resounding, reflecting in the lake, looking from afar, the quiet lake surface, the reflection of the clusters, can indeed make people's hearts calm. On the shore, six huge waterwheels are constantly turning under the traction of the old ox. A little farther away, there is a green fertile field, growing just right, with the green field looking, but there is a feeling of being on the grassland, marginal.
"This is Huangshahu!" Liu Feng said with a little emotion, the oil field, he couldn't help but be proud, this will become the grain production center of Cizhou, of course, it will also be an important base for him Liu Feng, and all of this was established by him and people.
"Are those the waterwheels made in the fort?" Guo Chongtao pointed to the waterwheel by the lake and asked,
"Not bad!" Liu Feng said with some meaning: "These are the craftsmen you built. When the two of them were together, the place where they often quarreled was the status of soldiers and farmers and businessmen all the way from Xianghe Mountain to Baoli, Liu Feng suddenly remembered to take Guo Chongtao to Huangsha Lake to have a look, so that he could truly realize the power of craftsmen to social development.
Guo Chongtao no longer spoke, on this issue, the two positions are different, and they can never be clear, as a representative of the scholar, he can't accept it, Liu Feng put the soldiers, agriculture and industry and commerce in the same position, but in his heart accepted Liu Feng, the leader of the descendants of the porcelain burner. This may also be a common problem among scholars in every dynasty, who can convince themselves to have different principles of treating others.
And when they arrived at Liujiabao, the shock in Guo Chongtao's heart was like a heavy drum, constantly beating in his chest. He has traveled to the land of Kyushu and seen extraordinary, but he has seen a situation here that he has never seen before.
Under Liu Feng's suggestion, eighteen concrete columns made of iron strips and bamboo strips supported the ten-meter-high hall of the Qilin Building, which was also an eye-opener for people who came and went to Liujiabao, and also allowed Guo Chongtao to chase Liu Feng and keep asking about Guan Qiao.
The seven craftsman workshops such as the Burning Camp and the Craftsman Workshop are even more of an impact on Guo Chongtao's beliefs, an efficient production relationship that he has never seen before, which happened here, and it is more thorough here than in the camp, he is a little self-deprecating, everything he does in the camp is more like a child showing his strength to a strong man.
Guo Chongtao, who was severely shocked, was in the camp and discovered Liu Feng's new creation, the Tiger Guard Medical Battalion, a medical camp established by doctors and women, which completely overturned all his cognition. Everything in the medical battalion in the army is so orderly, and the doctors and nurses in the medical battalion are all wearing the white cotton and linen coats issued by Liu Feng. The villagers who came and went to the camp, and the wounded sergeants who were training, all accepted it all with surprise.
Guo Chongtao lived in the camp for a few days in a somewhat chaotic manner, and Liu Feng also found that he was slowly accepting and understanding these new things.
Liu Feng realized that it was time to make it clear, that day, Liu Feng set up a table of wine in the camp and feasted Guo Chongtao, the food in the camp was not so fine, and some big fish and meat were made, and after cooking, they were served in large basins one by one. The wine on the table was bought by Liu Feng from the old man Zhaozhi, and it was a good wine from the previous year. This is also what Liu Feng deliberately changed when he remembered Guo Chongtao's good wine.
Guo Chongtao was accompanied by Pan Qingyun, Liu Yandong, Bayar, Zhaozhi and others. I also know in my heart that today will be the time to make my own choice. Pan Qingyun and the others also observed separately, this character who made Liu Feng so attentive, secretly made various evaluations in his heart.
After a while, Liu Feng, who was overwhelmed by alcohol, was already drunk.
At this time, Guo Chongtao stood up, dressed up, and said in a straight voice: "There is a problem below, I want to lead and solve the doubts, I don't know if it is possible?" ”
"It's coming, it's finally here!" Liu Feng secretly sighed and said: "What's the matter, these literati are really difficult, since they intend to stay, it would be good to bow their heads, but there is still a Longzhong pair." ”
But a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he said, "But it's okay to ask!" ”
Guo Chongtao looked at his nose and nose, and asked calmly: "After the commander organized and trained a strong army in this troubled world, and built a fort to protect himself, he also collected a wide range of displaced people. But I don't know if the commander has ever thought about what kind of person he wants to be? ”
Liu Feng stared at him and said in a deep voice: "What kind of person!?" ”
Guo Chongtao smiled faintly and said something earth-shattering: "Does the commander just want to guard this acre and three points of land and be a hero, or do he want to be a hero in troubled times?" ”
Liu Feng couldn't help but say: "How is Haoqiang? What about the heroes? ”
After saying this, he found that there was a quiet on the table, and everyone looked at him, as if this one decision would affect everything.
After a while, Guo Chongtao said: "If the commander only wants to live a strong life in this Cizhou, then please put it far away." ”
This made Liu Feng a little stunned, for a while, he thought that this life was going to be spent vigorously, but in the successive blows, he slowly gave up this idea. But I didn't know that his tossing and turning made the people in the fort have a future and inspire them to have greater ambitions.
I felt that I had been thinking about it for a long time, and suddenly woke up, but I was quietly waiting for his answer, took a deep breath, and said lightly: "How do you ask me to answer this word, it is difficult for us to protect ourselves now, let alone talk about the troubled times!" When we get to that point, it's clear. ”
Seeing that everyone was a little puzzled by Liu Feng's ambiguous answer, Liu Feng then said in a deep voice: "It's still the same sentence, if someone prevents us from living a rich and peaceful life, then we have to ask the steel knife in my hand, but at that time, I'm afraid it won't be possible to be this hero." ”
Hearing this, Guo Chongtao dressed up, bowed to the ground, and said solemnly: "When Guo An of Daizhou, meet the commander!" ”
Everyone at the table also said solemnly: "Meet the commander!" ”
Liu Feng helped everyone up one by one in the last issue, laughed and raised the wine bowl, and said, "In the future, I will rely on you to help me together, come, all pick up the bowl, and we will do this bowl together." ”
Everyone roared: "Respect the commander! ”
