Chapter 081: Generous Gifts
Lao Zhu also seems to understand the truth of the poor Kou Mo Chasing, after defeating Chen Youliang, he did not go up the river and took the opportunity to capture Chen Youliang's territory. His army had been fighting for months, and it was not suitable to go on an expedition.
As for the strength of Huguangdi, the army has almost been hollowed out by Chen Youliang, and he is no longer able to fight, just like a piece of fat on his lips that can be taken at any time.
After Poyang Lake was slightly repaired, he entered Hongdu City, not to visit his nephew, and went straight to Xinchengmen after entering the city.
Looking at the strange symbols on the wall of the city gate tower, Lao Zhu smacked his lips strangely, rubbed his beard under his chin and asked Liu Ji beside him, "Mr. Xuefu Wuche, do you know what is written on it!" β
Ma Du was like a bright meteor in front of Lao Zhu's eyes, although it disappeared, it left too deep an impression on him, and he was still curious about Ma Du's origin and background. He blamed himself a little, he should have asked the bottom of the matter from the beginning, and he shouldn't have fooled the past with his heart.
Especially after Ma Du's disappearance, he became more and more suspicious in his heart, and even thought that there was a powerful organization behind Ma Du, and Ma Du was just a chess piece thrown out. Just like the book said about those hidden masters, they can't bear to be ruined in the troubled times, so they let their disciples go out of the mountains to choose the Ming Lord to assist, calm the chaos in the world, and build a prosperous dynasty.
He was not unfounded in his suspicions, and after defeating Chen Youliang, he took out Ma Du's things and showed them to others. A long and short convenient and sharp firearm, a telescope that can overlook several miles away, a crystal mirror that can be seen in the slightest...... All of them are breathtaking.
The old craftsman with exquisite craftsmanship said, "Ingenuity is beyond the reach of manpower." "The craft of the first half of my life was learned in vain, so I covered my face and retreated. Everyone else also said that even if a person can do it, it is not something that a person can do.
Such an organization can allow Ma Du to help him defeat Chen Youliang, and it can also let "Li Du" help Zhang Shicheng kill him Zhu Yuanzhang, thinking about it is extremely scary. At least that's what he thinks in his heart, how did he know that Ma Dujing caused him trouble, and without Ma Du, he would be as proud as he was.
He even suspected that Madu was not dead at all, but took the opportunity to leave. Lao Tzu's prosperous dynasty has not yet been established, why did he leave? Isn't Lao Tzu the master? Of course, these are his careful thoughts, and he has never mentioned them to others, and he came to Hongdu in the name of inspecting defense, in fact, just to investigate the clues left by Ma Du.
Liu Ji looked at the strange symbols on the wall, and shook his head with a wry smile, "The five techniques of metaphysics, the subordinates of Qimen Miscellaneous have all dabbled, but I don't understand it very well." However, some of the characters were recognized by some of the subordinates, and they were used by the officials of the color eyes when they were in the office of Meng Yuan, and they represented numbers (Note 1), which should be an arithmetic problem written on the wall. β
Zhu Wenying said: "Uncle said that this is indeed arithmetic, and he said that he used this method to calculate Chen Shan'er's approximate location." β
"The arithmetic that Ma Dushi learned seems to be self-contained, very different from the Central Plains, and not exactly the same as those who are colored people, and it is much more profound. His subordinates are also proficient in arithmetic, but they are ashamed of themselves. β
Lao Zhu nodded, "Wenzheng, where did he live before, take me over to see." β
Lao Zhu inspected Hongdu, and the guards of Hongdu naturally had to accompany him. The current Lao Zhu has not yet learned to put on a show, so he is only accompanied by Zhu Wenzheng, Deng Yu and Zhao Desheng, who is immortal.
Zhu Wenzheng replied: "Ma Dushi has been living in the small courtyard on the edge of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, please come with me with my uncle." β
He is Lao Zhu's nephew, and since Lao Zhu has recognized this brother-in-law, he should also call Ma Du's uncle like Zhu Wenying.
But this guy is arrogant, where can he pull his face, plus he used to be Ma Du's Shangguan, and he is called by his official title, and others have nowhere to find fault.
And they came down from the wall, and rode to the small courtyard where Madu, where he had lived. took Ma Du away, but failed to bring Ma Du back, Zhu Wenying felt quite uncomfortable, and slammed two fists on the courtyard door.
A shout immediately sounded inside, "Which one doesn't slam the door in broad daylight!" See if I don't beat your guts! Then there was the sound of the deadbolt twitching, and the door opened with a creak, and Zhang Wuliu's unbeaten face appeared in the sub-door frame.
When he saw Zhu Wenying at the door, he immediately turned into a face full of joy, and grabbed Zhu Wenying's arm regardless of the mud on his hands, "Lord Duwei, you're back!" The battle is over! Lao Liu, Lao Liu, hurry up and pack your things, we're going to Yingtian, haha...... Hey, why are there so many people! What about adults? Zhang Wuliu stood on tiptoe, and his eyes searched through the crowd.
Zhu Wenying's heart was suffocated, and her chest was unusually depressed, as if she owed this kid something, but she couldn't help yelling: "Get out!" With a flick of his hand, he pushed Zhang Wuliu aside and led everyone into the courtyard.
Lao Liu hurriedly greeted him with a hoe, and immediately knelt on the ground when he saw the comer, "The grass people meet the Guogong!" β
Lao Zhu looked at the person lying on the ground and asked in a deep voice, "Is it Liu Chujiu?" β
Lao Liu lay on the ground and didn't raise his head, "It's the grass people!" β
Lao Zhu smiled and said, "You old slippery head is not dead yet!" Why do you call yourself a grass farmer, and you don't want to be a soldier for your father?"
Lao Liu replied: "Returning to the country, the grass people have been removed from the army, and when the war is over, they will follow the capital to respond to the heavens as a guardian." He raised his head and searched the crowd for Madu, but he was nowhere to be seen, "Where is the capital?" β
Lao Zhu's smiling face froze, and he didn't reply to Lao Liu's question, and asked casually, "What are you doing with a hoe?" β
"The grass people are harvesting the crops, and the adults have ordered them before they leave, saying that they should be able to harvest at this time." Lao Liu casually pointed to a corner of the courtyard, and the original green vines had turned yellow at the moment.
Lao Zhu took a closer look, "What kind of crop is this, why hasn't my father seen it?" "He came from a peasant family, and he knew the crops in the field, and he reached out and pulled through the vines, but he didn't see the fruit.
Without waiting for him to ask, Lao Liu replied: "Lord Dushi said that this kind of crop is not in the original plains, but it was brought from overseas, and its fruit is in the ground, so the grass people will take it out for you to see." β
He picked up a hoe and cut off all the roots of the seedlings, and at the root was a hoe, a sweet potato the size of a baby's head, wrapped in mud, and rolled out.
Lao Zhu casually checked about three or four catties of seeds, and saw that there seemed to be some under the roots, so he directly reached out and gouged out another one, although it was not as big as before, but there were about two catties.
Lao Zhu suddenly became interested, and he didn't care about the dirt on the ground and used his hands to plan, ten seedlings dug out a total of more than 20 fruits, some large and some small, and the last scale was almost forty catties.
However, a piece of land the size of a palm can bear so many fruits, how much should an acre of land have? Lao Zhu was a little shocked, "Can you eat this thing?" β
Lao Liu said: "I haven't eaten this small one, but I heard that it is delicious." It can be eaten while boiled, and it is even better if it is roasted in the fire! Zhang Wuliu, stunned, why don't you go to boil water quickly. β
"Oh!" After Zhang Wuliu was pushed by Zhu Wenying, he stood at the door in a daze, and ran to boil water in a panic after listening to Lao Liu's instructions.
Lao Zhu took one of the youngest and asked Liu Chujiu to take it to cook, and it didn't take long for it to come out of the pot, Lao Zhu tasted it, it was soft and sweet, and he couldn't help but praise: "Good grain!" β
His brow was full of joy, he came from a peasant family, and he could imagine how many lives could be saved by such a high-yield and delicious grain. Although it can't help him fight the world, it can help him settle the world. Lao Zhu didn't expect that Ma Du would leave him such a generous gift.
"Liu Chujiu, you will grow this kind of food, right?"
Liu Chujiu nodded, "These grain plants are planted by the adults, and they are being taken care of by the grass people." β
"Okay, you two pack up all this food and follow my father to respond to the sky."
"Good!" Lao Liu was the most snorting for a while before he said: "Guogong, what is his lord?" β
Lao Zhu sighed and replied, "It's gone." β
When Liu Chujiu heard this, the porcelain bowl in his hand fell to the ground all of a sudden, and his bones rolled out of the distance, Lao Zhu saw Liu Chujiu's dejected appearance, and his heart was also pantothenic, and he was no longer interested, "Waste the grain, clean up and wait for me at the dock, and respond to me with me." And he got up and went out with the people.
Zhu Wenying felt a sharp sinking on his legs, looked down and saw Zhang Wuliuba catching a fish as if he had to hug his legs, crying with tears in his eyes, "You said you were going to bring him back!" We said that we would go to Yingtian to be his nursing home! You give him back to me! β
