Chapter 346: Zhao Ji Part-time Job
- Outside the Joan Building
"Why haven't you come out yet? Isn't it okay? ”
"I don't see it, you look at the shopkeeper Yue, where is there a little sadness on his face? Does it take time to lead the mines? ”
"It makes sense, maybe it's an auspicious day, in this way, has this Jiang Zijun already calculated that today is a good day to use the thunder method?"
Outside Qiong Lou, the idlers were chatting in twos and threes, all speculating about when Jiang De inside would come out. And Jiang De, the protagonist of the topic, is still sleeping unconsciously, this thunder and lightning show will have to wait for the night, so let's make up for sleep during the day.
The people outside the Qionglou waited for a while, and saw that no one came out, and couldn't help but be a little anxious, at this time, Yue He walked out and said to the people around, "Everyone, my Xiaolangjun said, this thunder and lightning will not look good at night, so you don't have to wait during the day, if you want to wait here, but you have to wait until it gets dark, in this case, it is better to go to my Qionglou to rest for a while, no matter how much consumption today, all seven folds, please be!" ”
As soon as I heard that I had to wait until the evening, many people shouted, saying that this was Jiang De's delaying strategy, but there were also many people who obediently walked into Qionglou and ordered some wine and food while eating.
In the palace, Zhao Ji put on his Taoist robe, he was ready to show his skills today, Jiang De told him that he could also try the method of controlling thunder at that time.
"Daddy! Daddy!! A sweet heartbreaking voice came from outside the hall, and as soon as Zhao Ji turned around, a girl threw herself into her arms.
"Daddy, are you going to see that Jiang Xiaolangjun perform the Five Thunder Dafa? Would you like to take Xiao Fujin to see it too? As he spoke, Zhao Fujin shook Zhao Ji's arm, with mist in his eyes, looking like I would cry to you if you don't take me.
Zhao Ji hurriedly squatted down, touched Zhao Fujin's face and said, "Why does Xiao Fujin want to go?" If there is thunder at that time, are you afraid? ”
Zhao Fujin hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Don't be afraid!" Xiao Fujin covers his ears when the time comes, and with his father by his side, he is not afraid! As he spoke, Zhao Fujin covered his ears and pursed his mouth, looking like he couldn't hear it, Zhao Ji smiled and said, "Okay, Daddy will take you there!" ”
"Daddy, can you also take Sister Yupan there, she has been asking about this these days, I think she also wants to see the excitement. If it's just me, my sister will be unhappy. Zhao Fujin said with a righteous look, but Zhao Ji thought about it a little, this Zhao Yupan, as the eldest daughter, has reached the twenty-eighth year in a blink of an eye, and she can consider getting married.
"Daddy~~ Isn't it good!" Zhao Fujin began to be coquettish again, and Zhao Ji said helplessly, "Okay, okay, let's go together, let's go together." ”
Zhao Fujin jumped up with a sigh, and then jumped up and down to announce the good news.
Zhao Ji shook his head, Liang Shicheng walked in and said, "Official, Qionglou is still doing business, then Jiang Zijun didn't show up, asked Na Yue He, and said that he was still sleeping." ”
Zhao Ji smiled and said, "This lazy boy seems to be preparing to sleep until dark." ”
Jiang De had already woken up at this time, he was holding a letter in his hand, and Xu Guanzhong was sitting opposite, with a look of joy on his face.
"Wow, the Dead Leaf Island has been half defeated, counting the time, the Dry Leaf Island should already be icy and snowy at this time, and it will be four or five months when the next port is available. Senior Brother Lu said that there is a shortage of people there, what do you think, Mr. Xu? Jiang De brought the letter close to the fire, and the tongue of fire licked it down, and in a few moments, the letter became a piece of ashes.
"Lord, due to the repair of the Yellow River and Kutian, there is no shortage of displaced people in Hebei and Shandong, and in the south of the Yangtze River, there are I don't know how many people have been ruined by Huashigang, if you want to say ordinary people, there is no shortage at all, as long as the boat docks and gives food, you can pull people away." Xu Guanzhong said with confidence, since ancient times, the recruitment banner has been raised, and there are people who eat food, and in order to eat a full meal, there are many people who are willing to do the thing of killing their heads, not to mention that they just left their hometowns.
"At least 100,000 immigrants." Jiang Dequ smacked his fingers on the table and said, "Half of the Han people is the smallest proportion, and those local natives should also select the elite and strong army, and after many years of integration with each other, I am not afraid that Dry Leaf Island is not my Chinese land." ”
100,000 immigrants, easy to say, but extremely difficult to do, not to mention how these 100,000 people were transferred to the past, how to recruit, and not to make the court pay attention, just said that on the withered leaf island, building houses, opening up land, and giving at least one year of food and clothing are all extremely material-consuming things.
And 100,000 people, even in the Song Dynasty, which was well populated, was a large number, so many people went to sea, it was impossible not to alarm the government, and most importantly, these displaced people would have become the best source of tenants for the local gentry, but now they were taken away, how could those gentry be willing to do it?
"If you recruit secretly, how many people can be recruited in half a year?" Jiang De still wanted to be as quiet as possible.
Xu Guanzhong touched it and said, "If you want to recruit secretly, then it won't exceed 10,000 people at most." ”
Although there are many displaced people, there are still few who want to go to sea, and if you can't hype it, there are really not too many people.
Jiang De and Xu Guanzhong were talking, there was a knock on the door outside, and Li Zhong said, "Xiao Langjun, I want to see you." ”
"Biography!"
Shi Qian walked in, and after saluting Jiang De and Xu Guanzhong, he said, "Xiao Langjun, the imperial court is ready to send troops to Liangshan." ”
"Expected!" Jiang De waved his hand and said, "Liangshan has plundered so many literati this time, the imperial court claims to rule the world with scholars, and the scholars have suffered, so they naturally want to take revenge and come back, who proposed it?" How many troops and horses were dispatched? Who leads? ”
Shi Qian replied, "I don't know who proposed it, but I found out that it was the soldiers and horses of the Jingdong East and West Road, because I was worried that the Jingdong East and West soldiers would collude with Liangshan, so they sent foreign generals, headed by the capital of Runing County, surnamed Huyan, with a single name and a burning character, and two other deputy generals, I don't know who it is." ”
I went, why did I come back again, isn't the current Gao Yu in the Western Army? Why is it still a hot breath?
Maybe history really has a lot of inertia, Jiang De thought with a wry smile, this twist and turn is back in the Water Margin.
"Hu Yanzhuo? My lord, I know this man! Xu Guanzhong frowned and said, "This person is not easy to deal with." ”
Jiang De asked, "How is this person?" ”
Xu Guanzhong said, "This Hu Yanzhuo is the descendant of the founding general Hu Yanzan, and he also has a younger brother named Hu Yantong, all of whom are outliers among the nobles.
My lord, since Emperor Taizu released his military power with a cup of wine, most of those founding generals have become rich men, and these people have no power, and the court has rewarded them many times to relieve their hearts.
Other nobles will either turn into civil officials, such as the Yang family, or become the sons of gentlemen, but the Huyan family is a rare generation of insistence on being a general, and the court is also extremely relieved of his family, it is said that the court has been preparing for the future against the enemy Liao, and the enemy Liao needs an iron horse, and it is rumored that the chief general of the iron cavalry in secret training is Hu Yanzhuo.
If that's the case, this time it's not a good one. ”
It's really, Jiang De said with a wry smile, according to this, I'm afraid it is the legendary Song Dynasty version of the serial horse, that is the ancient tank heavy cavalry, where is it so easy to deal with. And this time, I'm afraid that Hu Yanzhuo will get a lot of foreign assistance, and it seems that he has to deal with this matter quickly and return to Liangshan to prepare for the war.
"That's it, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, let's not talk about these things first, wait for tonight, I'll wait for a good one!" There are too many lice to itch, so Jiang De decided to put everything down first and wait until tonight.
It was getting dark, and at dusk, the people who were waiting finally waited for a huge carriage to come out.
"It's out, it's out!"
Jiang De's motorcade came out of the back door and came all the way to the main road, many people surrounded him, and one of them boldly asked, "Is Jiang Weilang inside?" ”
Xu Guanzhong walked to the carriage and bowed around, and then said, "Fathers and fellow villagers, my little Langjun said, thank you for your support, this performance is to correct the name of Tianxiang Academy, you may have heard of it, my little Langjun because the business is a little big, in order to train his own manpower, he opened a primary school in his hometown, specializing in cultivating some people like Mr. Bookkeeper, and I also learned in that school for a while.
Thanks to the grace of the official family, the world is peaceful, and the business is easy to do, and many other masters also see that the people of my Xiaolangjun School are easy to use, and they also want to borrow some, so my Xiaolangjun expanded the school and built Tianxiang College in that Xingren Mansion, specifically recruiting some people who have no intention of fame, teaching them to read and write, settling accounts, and also teaching some of my Xiaolangjun's family learning.
But some scholars, listening to rumors, some time ago carried a battering ram to smash the academy, saying that the academy does not spread the words of the saints, what they say is a different learning, and it is the way to confuse the people. ”
"Wow, let's get started!"
"That scholar, you seem to be my Confucian disciple too, why do you help the abuse?"
"Heterogeneous heresies, strange and ingenious skills, how can they be compared with my Confucianism?"
"Bluff, I think today is the time when Jiang Zijun is ruined!"
Xu Guanzhong smiled, stepped out of the carriage without care, let the guards in front of him open the way, and went all the way to the open space in front of the Great Xiangguo Temple.
In the palace, Zhao Ji, who had been waiting for a long time, also got the news that Jiang De came out, he walked into the carriage, suddenly heard a sound of footsteps behind him, looked back, and saw seven or eight teenagers and girls walking over with a look of anticipation.
Zhao Ji looked at Zhao Fujin, who was the leader, and said curiously, "What are you going to do?" ”
Xiao Fujin crossed his waist and said, "Didn't Daddy say that everyone should go together?" We're all here. ”
Zhao Ji rubbed his brows, he only wanted to bring two or three secretly, where did he think about bringing so much, but when he saw that among these people there was his favorite son Zhao Kai, he thought about it and said, "That's it, let's go together!" ”
Jiang De's demonstration this time touched the heartstrings of many people, some lowly people don't care, they came in person, some high-ranking people don't want to show their heads, so they send a family member, but most of these high-ranking people also have an extra heart, leaving people to wait outside the palace, as soon as they saw that there was a carriage coming out, they immediately went back to ventilate the news, and then, these people who originally just wanted to listen to the broadcast went out and wanted to watch the live broadcast with Zhao Ji.
There is a high platform in front of the Great Xiangguo Temple, which is generally used by the Great Xiangguo Temple when doing the festival, but now it is occupied by Jiang De and others, Yan Qing and others are arranging things on the high platform, a group of officials are helping to maintain order, dare not maintain it, there are already thousands of people at this scene, I don't know how many people are rushing to see this lively, and this open space is big enough, otherwise there will be trampling, and I don't know how many people will be killed or injured because of this.
It was already dark, and one by one the torches were lit in the hands of the officials, Jiang De saw that everything was arranged, nodded, and was about to start, when he heard a familiar voice coming, "Brother Jiang, are you sure?" ”
Jiang De looked back and saw that it was Li Gang, it turned out that Li Zhong knew him and let him come up.
Jiang De smiled and said, "Brother Boji, when will I do something that I am not sure of, don't worry, this makes sense, I will tell you slowly in the future." ”
"Li Yushi really has a deep friendship with Zijun, and the old man is very moved." Cai Jing also walked up at this time, Li Gang saw Cai Jing, frowned, bowed for a while, and then said, "Xiaguan and Jiang Weilang are gentlemen's friends, friends but not parties, but they are lighter than Taishi." ”
Jiang Debai glanced at Li Gang, what are you talking about, doesn't this mean that he and Cai Jing are friends of villains, and this time he scolded himself too.
Cai Jing didn't care about Li Gang's words, and said to Jiang De, "The official family will be here soon, you wait a while." ”
As he spoke, a shrill voice came, "The official family has arrived!" ”
"The official is here? It seems that this Jiang Xiaolang may really have some ability. ”
"It's just right, let the official family see this villain's face clearly!"
"Haha, this fang must be killed this time!"
"I don't know what the official family looks like, I heard that he is very handsome, if only he could see one."
In the midst of the discussion, a group of forbidden troops separated the people, Zhao Ji got out of the carriage, and the dress of a Taoist priest made many officials and soldiers almost crush their teeth. The common people felt fresh, and they had heard that today's officials liked Taoism, but they didn't expect to wear Taoist robes.
Jiang De saw that Zhao Ji was also coming, so he got off the high platform and bowed to Zhao Ji, "I've seen the official family!" ”
Zhao Ji smiled and said, "Tianzun doesn't need to be polite, can you prepare properly?" ”
Jiang De nodded and said, "Everything is ready, you can lead the mine and control the mine at any time." ”
"Okay, this emperor will wait and see here."
Zhao Fujin looked puzzled and asked Zhao Yupan next to him, "Sister, why is our father called Jiang De Tianzun?" What is Tianzun? ”
Zhao Yupan looked at one place dementedly, without saying a word, there, a scholar was talking to a handsome young man, that scholar was thinner than the last time she saw her, I don't know what was tired like this, and the beard was a little more, but the body was still upright, the breath was still warm, everything I thought I had forgotten was all poured into my brain in an instant, Zhao Yupan covered his heart, only to feel a kind of soreness welling up, I don't know what it was.
