Chapter Seventy-Six: Overseas Paradise Comes to a Stranger

Ouyang Shi listened to Chen Zhenghui's words and said in his heart: "This person is not only not a fool, but also very shrewd!" He didn't talk to Chen A'er and them, either he was disdainful, or he was pretending to be crazy and stupid for self-preservation! But he didn't answer Chen Zhenghui's words, and asked: "Listen to Brother Zhenghui's Bianliang accent, you are from the Central Plains, right?" ”

Chen Zhenghui said: "You are an overseas Yi clan, you can actually hear the Bianliang accent!" Hmph, I'm from Fujian, but I studied in Bianjing, so my words are elegant. ”

Ouyang Shi smiled: "I see, then we are a family." I'm not a Yi tribe! I'm also from Han. Seeing the disbelief on Chen Zhenghui's face, he asked, "Brother Zhenghui, you haven't been back to the Central Plains for a few years?" ”

Chen Zhenghui was stunned for a moment and said, "How many years? I can't remember, when I was exiled, it was the first year of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Ouyang Shi exclaimed: "The first year of Zhenghe! That was six or seven years ago! ”

Chen Zhenghui said: "Has your country also received the calendar given by my Great Song Dynasty?" I actually know that I am in the Great Song Dynasty. "The issuance of calendars to neighboring countries is a major diplomatic event in the Eastern world, and if neighboring countries receive calendars from China, they will be recognized by China in the international community.

Ouyang Shi smiled: "Our contact with Da Song has never been broken. ”

Chen Zhenghui heard it and asked: "Then do you know what has happened in the Great Song Dynasty in the past few years?" He inquired about this, obviously he was overseas and cared about the Central Plains.

Ouyang Shi said: "I know some." Last year was the seventh year of the Great Song Dynasty, and I heard that this year has changed the yuan, and it is the first year of Chonghe. ”

"Change the yuan?" Chen Zhenghui was shocked: "Has the emperor died?" ”

"This ...... It doesn't seem to be. Ouyang Shi said: "Emperor Daojun is still there." As for why he changed the yuan, I don't know very well. ”

Chen Zhenghui breathed a sigh of relief and muttered, "Seven years of political peace...... In the first year of Chonghe......" sighed long: "It's been almost seven years!" ”

At this time, the two approached, and Ouyang Shi found that he was actually still very young, about thirty years old, and said in his heart: "Actually, this person is quite pitiful, he should have been in his early twenties when he was exiled seven years ago, and seven years of youth were lost in vain on a desert island." ”

Chen Zhenghui asked again: "Has anything major happened in the Great Song Dynasty in the past few years?" ”

Ouyang Shi said: "Do you ask the imperial court, or the people?" ”

Chen Zhenghui hesitated for a moment and said, "The imperial court." ”

Ouyang Shi said: "Thinking about it, it seems that there is no change from seven years ago. Although the yuan has been changed, the emperor is still the same as before, and the prime minister is still Cai Jing, but the situation seems to be worse than seven years ago, and the people are living more bitterly. ”

Hearing the name of "Cai Jing", Chen Zhenghui snorted and said, "Treacherous appearance!" Bring calamity to the country and the people! How come he hasn't died yet! ”

Ouyang Shiqi said: "Do you recognize him?" ”

Chen Zhenghui snorted and didn't answer, and Ouyang Shi said, "Could it be that you just offended him and were exiled?" You were in your early twenties seven years ago, right? can actually offend Cai Jing, amazing, amazing! ”

Chen Zhenghui was not praised by him, and said: "You haven't answered my words just now, why did you lure me to the people of the Great Song Dynasty here?" ”

Ouyang Shi thought to himself, you are really a little sour! I don't want to think about what kind of exit I am now, and I actually talk to me like this. But thinking that Yang Yingqi has always been very elegant to readers, he can't lose to him! Then he patiently said: "Don't talk so badly about us! As I told you just now, we are not Yi people, we are all Han people. The political situation in the Great Song Dynasty has been very bad over the years, and we can't survive in our hometown, so we were forced to flee here from the Great Song Dynasty. When he said this, he changed his mood, and felt that he was respectful and virtuous, and he had the style of the ancients, and his tongue began to grow bigger: "I remember that in ancient times, there was a man surnamed Tao, who seemed to have written some kind of "Peach Blossom Story", saying that a group of people couldn't stand the tyranny of Qin and fled to a valley......"

Before he finished speaking, Chen Zhenghui corrected: "It's not "Peach Blossom Story", it's "Peach Blossom Spring". What is the surname Tao! That is the great poet and great hermit Tao Qianyuanming. ”

"Well, yes, it's the 'payout'." Ouyang Shi smiled: "We are similar to that Peach Blossom Garden here. Everyone is in the Great Song Dynasty...... Well, I couldn't survive under Cai Jing's power, so I had to go overseas. We worked hard and sweated to finally renovate such a place on this big island, and we could live. ”

He brought out Tao Yuanming's allusions, and Chen Zhenghui's face became calm when he heard it. The so-called harsh government is fiercer than the tiger, and the people avoid harsh government, which is an act that the saints also sympathize with.

Ouyang Shi said again: "And what you saw just now, it's not that we have any bad intentions to tempt the people of the Great Song Dynasty. This year, the southeast roads have been flooded, and I don't know how many families have died and been displaced. We are not as selfish as the people in the Peach Blossom Garden, and since we have a good way to live, we must let our brothers of the same race know. That's why I hired those boatmen to go to various places along the coast to spread news and pick up my father. As for Chen Ada's running to Salmon Island, it was not at my command. Then he explained the reason why Chen Aer went to Salmon Island.

Chen Zhenghui heard that the hostility was completely eliminated here, and there was even a little respect in his eyes: "I see. Then you are not outsiders, but righteous men. Fang Chen was abrupt, please forgive me. "I asked Ouyang Shi's name again.

Ouyang Shi smiled: "My surname is Ouyang, my name is suitable, and I am comfortable." The people here are shun, and they all call me General Ouyang. Brother Chen, I think you might as well stay here first. There is a Tang poem, how do you say it? 'The same is the end of the world, why should we know each other'? It's also fate that we met here. ”

Chen Zhenghui smiled slightly, and didn't pick a typo in Ouyang Shiyin's poem, thinking that these people were all compatriots, just to take refuge overseas, although they were not Confucian scholars, but they were also deeply influenced by my Han culture, and their hearts were a little more cordial.

When the two entered the village, Chen Zhenghui saw that someone was distributing tools and rations and arranging accommodation for the new immigrants, and said to himself: "He really didn't lie to me." "I have a good impression of Ouyang Shi.

Ouyang Shi arranged for him to live next door to him, and there were a lot of books given to him by Yang Yingqi in his house, which he never read, just gave them to Chen Zhenghui. Chen Zhenghui has been short of books for several years, and suddenly he got hundreds of books overseas, and he was so excited that he couldn't sleep and enjoyed them all night. These hundreds of books are mainly Confucian classics, and they are also full of orthodox learning, which is very much in line with his taste. On the second day, Ouyang Shi came and saw that he was actually holding the book and falling to the ground and dozing off, he couldn't help laughing, and said in his heart: "If this person goes to see Ying Qi, most of them will have an appetite for him." ”

Chen Zhenghui lived on the island with peace of mind. Ouyang Shi and others called themselves Hanbu, and the immigrants who came to the island also called themselves like this, Chen Zhenghui didn't care at all at first, but slowly saw some clues, and felt that Ouyang Shi was not as simple as he thought!

He spent a few days walking through the Jilong Harbor and the villages that docked at the port, inquiring about the people's conditions everywhere, and gradually realized that there was a strict system for the establishment of villages, the establishment of the system, and the judiciary. The heart of a saint! Did they unconsciously form it this way? Or is this Ouyang Shi a wise and foolish genius? Watching from the sidelines, seeing Ouyang Shi's means of commanding the sailors to fight pirates and deter the natives, he said in his heart: "This person is also a general." But it doesn't seem like you read much, so how can you build such a foundation? ”

Because he saw that the officials of the Han Ministry acted uprightly, he occasionally put forward some opinions on the side. He was a scholar who was easily provoked, but he had smoothed out the edges and corners of Salmon Island for several years. Because he inherited his family education at an early age, his foundation was already thick, and he was a smart person, and these days he was studying while watching, and in the words of a common political discourse in later generations, it was called "having theory and practice." The opinions put forward were to the point of the disadvantages of the military and political affairs of the island. Ouyang Shi listened to what he said and followed it one by one. This time, Ouyang Shi admired Chen Zhenghui's real ability, and Chen Zhenghui also felt that Ouyang Shi could know him, and the friendship between the two was deeper.

After Chen Zhenghui lived on the island for two months, he already knew the situation of the port and the villages well, and when Ouyang Shi saw this, he remembered the old practice of Yang Yingqi appointing Yang Pu, so he simply handed over all the government affairs to him. Chen Zhenghui did not shirk, in his opinion, governing such a small place is really a knife for himself. He didn't regard himself as an official of the Han Dynasty in his heart, but just regarded this matter as a sustenance during his exile.
