As far as Zhuangzi is concerned, according to the Zhuangzi who placed the fifty old soldiers.

If Shi Dazu didn't have to worry about it, he would give a New Year's gift to each Zhuangzi in the house, or give it to the villagers, but not for these fifty veterans, it would be chilling anyway.

Sometimes it's not that thing that people care about, it's an attitude.

Shi Dazu said: "Young Monarch, the lord of the mansion trusts me, so I also know some things recently. There is a saying under the door that Shaojun is not Li Xing of Zhen'an Houfu, and not many people know about this matter at the moment. But if Shaojun gains the trust of the old army of Zhen'an Houfu, it doesn't matter whether it is right or not. ”

Han Jiang asked: "This trust is afraid that it is a friendship that will lead to death." ”

"It's hard, it's not hard. What is the plan of being a soldier to eat food and receive salary, and what is the picture of being a military attaché, some people want to be glorious and rich, and some people want to be ......, alas! Starzu sighed.

Shi Dazu's sigh made Han Jiang hear the sadness in his heart.

Han Jiang poured a cup of hot water for Shi Dazu, and Shi Dazu took it: "Thank you Shaojun, my subordinates have not been admitted to the exam many times, and I was later taken in by the lord, in fact, I didn't win, and there is another reason, because I have a bad background." ”

"What's the explanation?"

Shi Dazu explained: "Convert people, have you ever heard this word Shaojun. ”

"I've heard it, but I don't know what it means."

"Reformers are divided into four categories according to the current court. In order, it is to return to the right, to the Ming, to the Shun, and to the court. I am a reformist, a former Bianliang person, but I didn't run away with me back then. Guishun is that there are still some tribes in the northwest in the original, and the heart is still in the Great Song Dynasty, and now the name is still Song Chen. ”

Shi Dazu took a sip of water and continued: "There is also the return to the dynasty, that is, the people from the Liao State, especially the Yanyun area, defected to the back then. In the end, he was not originally from the Song Dynasty and took refuge in the Great Song Dynasty. Civil officials are reformed, and they will be idle. The military attache is different, the military attaché is with soldiers and horses, the few soldiers and horses are scattered, and the more soldiers and horses are arranged on the front line. ”

It's interesting, Han Jiang heard the taste.

Shi Dazu smiled: "The young monarch asked the lord to open the main gate to welcome the new champion, this move is wonderful." I recommend it to Shaojun, Shaojun found him, and he could help Shaojun get twice the result with half the effort on Huainan East Road. ”

"Who?"

"Xin You'an, who founded the Flying Tiger Army back then."

"Xin Qiji?"

This really surprised Han Jiang.

Han Jiang had been thinking about how to win over Xin Qiji, but he didn't expect that people from the Han Mansion would also mention him.

It's clear that in this day and age, real talent still shines.

Hearing Han Jiang mention Xin Qiji's full name, Shi Dazu knew that this young monarch knew and even knew Xin Qiji.

"Yes, it's him, I want to come to Shaojun to know some people, he is a hero among the reformers, although he was suppressed by the imperial court, there were several ups and downs, especially north of the Huai River, the generals of the original Hebei and Jingdong roads respected him very much. Chen Tongfu and Xin Youan are good friends, and they have a very good relationship. ”

Han Jiang nodded vigorously: "Understood." In this way, the main force of Huainan East Road is the Guizheng Army. ”

"Yes."

Han Jiang asked again: "What about Zhen Anhou?" ”

"He's not, so it doesn't matter whether Shaojun is the son of Zhen'an Hou or not, this identity is just an opportunity for Shaojun to talk to the armies of Huainan East Road. However, Lu Yuanbo is, after he was reformed, his martial arts and courage were valued by the King of Wei, and he became the leader of the Wei Palace, and then released to lead the army. ”

"Understood."

Shi Dazu said again: "Shaojun, Yanzhou is arguing fiercely, you can ask the door, Shaojun knows that Yanzhou will fight, but still does this, what is the purpose?" ”

Han Jiang did not evade: "You see, the stewards of the Wu and Han families will fight, the old steward's upper family and the old craftsman's next family will also earn, and the old family will fight with the current steward." If they are united, not fighting or fighting, it is impossible to supervise each other, and it is impossible to want to be better than the other side, and more importantly, there were some things that made many people in Yanzhou resentful, and they were single-minded, so the target of resentment was naturally Han Fu. ”

After hearing these words, Shi Dazu admired it in his heart.

Although this young gentleman is young, he is also a person with means.

This may sound disgraceful, but it's a great way to do it.

Shi Dazu asked: "Shaojun, Huainan East Road, why don't you use this plan?" ”

"I think I need to gather more information about Huainan East Road, and enough intelligence."

Shi Dazu said: "Shaojun, two strategies. That one is better, Shaojun chooses by himself, and sees the fifty veterans as Li Xing. Or to make it clear, Shaojun has lived in Xiangzhou on Hebei West Road for many years. The subordinates don't know which one is better, but it is up to the young gentleman to choose. ”

Han Jiang asked, "Which one is worse?" ”

"Half."

"I'm going to think about it, or I'll see them before I decide."

Shi Dazu got up: "Shaojun, the subordinates can't accompany Shaojun, I have been to that Zhuangzi many times, and going with Shaojun at this time will inevitably make them suspect that I am spying on them." ”

"Understood, sir, let me think hard."

"Leave the door." Starzu gave a salute and withdrew.

The Zhuangzi who placed the fifty old soldiers was quite far away, and they had to go out of Lin'an Mansion and then take a boat from the West Lake to the west bank, about the northwest corner of the West Lake, where there was a continuous paddy field, and there was a lotus garden known as 10,000 acres by the Han family.

The New Year's gift in the Han Mansion was prepared, and the Zhuangzi's New Year's Gift Shi Dazu was also prepared in advance.

However, it will take a little time to move these to the ship.

Speaking of the Qian family, Meiwu Academy.

This is not the Meiwu town of later generations, this is the northeast corner of the West Lake a village built by the mountain academy, from the north city of Lin'an Mansion out of the Qiantang Gate, that is, the city gate of the Fengbo Pavilion in history, go out to the west along the lake less than a mile to cross the small bridge to arrive.

Because there is a small wharf in the middle of the plum forest, this wharf is a small wharf on the waterway connecting the West Lake to the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, so it is called Meiwu, the academy built here by the Qian family originally had no name, and after a long time, the people of Lin'an Mansion took the name of the place as Meiwu Academy.

Successive generations of students have continued to plant and prune plum trees, making the plum blossoms in the academy a unique sight.

Today, the weather has changed from haze for many days, the sky is bright, the blue sky is dotted with a few clouds, it is a good day to enjoy the plum lake.

Inside the college.

Qian Jingyi picked up the pen and drew a stroke on a blank piece of paper very casually, and then drew a plum branch with a few strokes and stopped writing.

An old gentleman who looked older than Qian Jingyi took the pen and drew a landscape in a corner.

Another stepped forward.

Finally, when facing the left, Zhou must be a big precedent.

This winter's plum blossom viewing party has officially begun.

Han Jiang may not know any of the four people who painted the painting, but eight hundred years later, three of these four people are collectively known as the four masters of the Southern Song Dynasty, and they have roots in the Yizhuang and the academy of the Qian family. After becoming famous, he also worked as a lecturer in the Qian family's academy and painting academy.

They are, Liu Songnian, Ma Yuan, and Xia Gui.
