The next day, when the Luoyang Fang Gate and the city gate were just gradually opened in the sound of bells and drums that resounded throughout the city, Li Ze took Gongsun Changming, Chen Changping, Li Mi and several guards out of the city gate and galloped west along the official road.

At the time of the spring flowers, on both sides of the official road, green trees and stars and wildflowers dot the meadows, and in the distance, there are large areas of fertile fields, and countless farmers are busy in the fields.

Spring was a good time for literati and writers to write poetry, but for ordinary people, it was the key to ensuring that they could eat enough all year round.

It can be seen that Li Xin is still very careful in running the Eastern Capital, at least, the gurgling and flowing streams in the ditches in those fields show that Luoyang is still doing a good job in water conservancy.

The blue sky, white clouds, blue and white flowers, red flowers, the farmers ploughing in the fields, the old oxen struggling to pull the plough forward, the dogs running around on the ridges, the big rooster singing and the hens and chicks cooing and following, of course, and the smoke rising from the cooking, in Li Ze's eyes, it is not the most beautiful picture.

In Wuyi, he likes to see such a scene the most.

Because, this generation is peaceful and peaceful, representing Kangtai.

But what should have been the most ordinary thing has become a landscape now, because in this world, there are really not many places that can do this.

The world was in turmoil, and all towns were desperately expanding their armaments, and a large number of young and strong people were withdrawn, so that the people who worked in the fields became old people, women, children, and even children.

Li Ze didn't know how many people died in the mutual conquest of the envoys of Jiedu in other places, but Li Ze knew very well that in the past two years, the attacks of Lulong, Chengde, Henghai, Hedong, and Zhenwu in these festival towns, the number of young people killed in battle alone was in units of 100,000. And this war, from the current point of view, is only just beginning, and a bigger and more brutal war is yet to come.

Labor that could have been used to create wealth is now sent to the battlefield, and many of them are worthless and turned into piles of dry bones.

When a person dies, a family cries, and a pillar dies, a family is in trouble and sinks, Li Ze has seen too many tragedies like this.

He tried hard to change all this in Wuyi, but it was only within his power.

Luoyang, the eastern capital, is not easy to see such a peaceful and peaceful scene. For a moment, Li Ze even felt ashamed of his strategic plan. Because what he was looking forward to was to let such a peaceful scene be destroyed in the flames of war.

But it's just for a moment.

For a patient who is already terminally ill, the medicine stone is already ineffective, and no amount of good medicine can save his life. And Datang is such a patient, even if he uses the medicine of the tiger and wolf, it can only make a little bit of a light return.

If you want to save the people in this land, the improvement is basically useless, only a fire will burn everything that is old, and the new body will be reborn in the fire.

The Tang Dynasty was founded and opened for hundreds of years of peace and joy, but it is difficult for any dynasty to escape a prosperous and declining end, and now, it has come to a new reincarnation.

Ending all this as soon as possible is the most responsible performance for the people of this land, or it will sacrifice the happiness of a generation, but compared to the next hundreds of years or longer, Li Ze feels that it is worth it.

Without the burden of our ancestors, how can we have the peace and joy of our descendants?

I was born in this troubled world, and I have the power to change the world in my hands, this is the great responsibility of heaven to save the people from fire and water, who else can I be!

Gongsun Changming didn't know that in the process of galloping horses, Li Ze actually thought of so much, at this moment, he pointed to a small village not far ahead, and said: "Jie Shuai, in front is Mr. Zhang Hui's hermitage." ”

Li Zelema stood, looked at the small village in front of him, and said with a smile: "The master's vision is really extraordinary, here, it's really a good place!" ”

The village is backed by lush green hills, the stream in front of Zhuangzi is murmuring, on both sides of the stream, overgrown with peach trees, and now the branches of the flower bones are waiting to be released, the ducks sometimes jump down the stream and go down the water, and the mountains jump to the shore again, pouting their flat beaks and shoveling something on the grass, and a few big white geese flutter their wings, like a proud princess, staggering out of the woods, looking up and calling a few times, and then the ducks are so startled that they are busy jumping back into the water one by one. A few dogs also sprang out and barked at the big white goose, whose long wings spread out, stretched out their necks and ran away at the barking dogs, but the dogs were so frightened that they turned around and ran, and in an instant they disappeared into the village behind the peach tree.

Just looking at this place, it is indeed a paradise scene.

Li Ze turned over and dismounted, leading the horse to move forward slowly, "Let's all get off the horse and walk, we are going to seek talents, when there is a humble posture, galloping in, it is inevitable to disrespect people." ”

The group dismounted and led the horses along the country road.

It was the spring ploughing season, and the fields were full of sweaty farmers who were busy, and it was obvious that the people who were not ordinary people were walking on the road with these richly dressed and leading horses, and they only glanced up a few times, and then turned their heads again to busy themselves.

This is much better than people in other places.

"There are too many people who come to visit Mr. Zhanghui every year, and the villagers here are probably not surprised." Gongsun Changming smiled.

After walking a little further, Gongsun Changming suddenly stopped, staring at a field on the side of the road, a person wearing a shoulder did not move away, and at this time, the person also raised his head and looked at Gongsun Changming.

Gongsun Changming lost the reins of the horse in his hand, took two steps forward, clasped his fists with both hands, and slammed it to the ground: "Brother Zhang, after a long time, the demeanor is still the same, congratulations!" Always good? ”

The man in the field looked at Gongsun Changming, but he threw the hoe aside, and said coldly: "When I see you, I feel very bad." ”

Li Ze looked at the farmer in front of him dumbfounded. Gongsun Changming never told him what Zhang Hui looked like, but this did not prevent Li Ze from sketching the appearance of this master in his heart.

Of course, it is a lupine scarf, with a thin face, holding a scroll, and the image is leisurely.

But the one in front of him, with a full beard on his face, and the muscles on his arms bulging one by one, revealing most of his chest under the shoulders, the thick chest hair is very eye-catching. Saying that he is a military general with developed limbs and a simple mind, Li Ze will not doubt it at all, but if he wants to say that he is an old master who is rich in learning and has five cars and has a good mind, Li Ze can't believe it.

Not only him, but even Chen Changping, Li Mi and others behind Li Ze also stared at him. Li Mi has long been determined to marry a scholar, and she has also succeeded, and now she is Cao Zhang's fiancée, she can't imagine that a long-lost and famous Yuan Taixue sacrificial wine with peach and plum all over the world actually looks like this. Where is like a reader, it is clearly more like a pig killer.

"Jie Shuai, this is the world-famous Mr. Zhang Huizhang." Gongsun Changming turned his head and introduced to Li Ze.

Li Ze was a little stiff and saluted the big black man in front of him with a fist. Speaking of which, this chapter is about the same age as Gongsun Changming, but it looks much younger, or it is precisely because this chapter is unscrupulous, and Gongsun Changming is worried too much.

"After entering Li Ze at the end of school, I have seen Mr. Zhang!" Li Ze saluted respectfully.

Zhang Hui looked at him for a while, and just when Gongsun Changming was worried about whether he would embarrass Li Ze, Zhang Hui picked up the hoe and started hoeing silently.

This man was full of strength, and when he went down with a hoe, most of the hoe sank into the soil, and when he stepped on it, he shook it vigorously with both hands, and a large lump of mud was pried up, and then he reversed the hoe and knocked it into thin pieces. Behind Zhang Hui, a man who was also barefoot, rolled up his pants, rolled up his sleeves, and looked much more delicate, looked at Li Ze and smiled apologetically, but he didn't speak, just bent down and took out the green seedlings from the basket and planted them in the ground that Zhang Hui had just sorted out.

The atmosphere was a little awkward. It is Gongsun Changming, who is sprinkled on weekdays, in front of this person, he is also a little shrunken, at this time he is holding his hands behind his back, but his eyes are looking at the sky.

Li Ze ate a closed door, but he was not annoyed, he just stood on the path with a smile and watched Zhang Hui hoe the ground there with a hoe and a hoe. Seeing that there is still most of this land left, it is obvious that it will not be able to hoe for a while.

Chen Changping and several guards didn't know what to do, they were no strangers to these farm jobs, but Li Ze didn't speak, so naturally they wouldn't make a mistake.

After a while, Zhang Hui suddenly picked up his hoe, wiped the sweat beads on his forehead, looked at Li Ze and said, "Why don't you help me hoe the ground?" ”

Li Ze smiled: "Because I won't." ”

"Can't pretend?"

"I came to see Mr. Zhang to ask for advice, why pretend to be happy? If Mr. Zhang can see me, if he can't see my words, no matter how many things I do, it will be in vain, and maybe there will be an image of a hypocrite in Mr. Zhang's heart. Li Zedao.

Zhang Hui looked at Li Ze, but this time there was a smile on his face, "You are a disciple of Gongsun Changming?" Unexpectedly, the old fox actually found a good disciple! ”

"Half teacher, half friend!" Li Ze shook his head and said.

"Promote each other!" Gongsun Changming continued on the side.

This time, it was Zhang Hui's turn to be a little stunned. After a while, he laughed out loud and put the hoe on his shoulder, "Very good, indeed good." ”

Watching Zhang Hui carry the hoe and move forward, Li Ze also followed with a smile.
