- Dongxi Village

There are two villages outside the east gate of Yuncheng County, one is Dongxi Village and one is Xixi Village. There is only a large stream in between. Because of this big stream, the two villages can thrive, but there are often fights over the water problem of this big stream, in fact, the problem of fighting for mountains and water has often appeared in later generations in China, and even conflicts and even wars often break out between countries because of this problem.

In order not to cause any disturbances, Jiang De only took Xu Guanzhong and two warriors into Dongxi Village, and Chen Guang and others waited outside to answer.

"This is Chao Baozheng's home." A villager stretched out his hand to a courtyard and said to Jiang De.

Jiang De nodded and thanked him, and walked with Xu Guanzhong, as soon as he approached the gate, he heard a burst of laughter, Jiang De and Xu Guanzhong glanced at each other, Xu Guanzhong said loudly, "The king of heaven is very different, and there is no Tota in the world." The pride is still unstoppable, and he can be called a big husband! ”

There was a burst of laughter inside: "Which brother praises me so much? I'm sorry, come in and talk about it. ”

Xu Guanzhong pushed open the door, Jiang De walked in, only to see a wooden table under a big tree, a few side dishes on the wooden table, and a pot of local wine. Two people are dressed up in a show, born with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, a long white beard, and a rich man dressed up, tall and long.

The man dressed as a rich man had already taken possession, looked at Jiang De and the others carefully, confirmed that they didn't know each other, and asked, "Who are the two?" I don't know where I came from, did you come to Dongxi Village to find me Chao Gai? ”

Xu Guanzhong returned the salute and said, "The student and the lord are from the Daimyo Mansion, the student Xu Guanzhong, this Xiaolang Jun is my lord Jiang De, the two of us set up a factory by the Jishui River, I heard that there are many heroes at the foot of Liangshan, especially the most heroic one named Tuota Tianwang Chao Gai, so I visited. ”

The person dressed as Xiucai stood up and asked, "But what about Jiang De and Jiang Xiaolangjun of "The Legend of the White Snake"? ”

Jiang De returned the salute and said, "It's exactly below, what?" So "The Legend of the White Snake" has been spread here? ”

The person dressed up in Xiucai said, "Student Wu Yong, Wu Jialiang, I have heard of it, there is a teenager in Tokyo, and he writes about the people's suffering with the legend of gods and ghosts to enter the official's house to understand the people's hearts, stay away from ghosts and gods, there is the legacy of the sages of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the students still yearn for it, but I didn't expect to see it here today, it is really a great luck!" ”

Chao Gai also exclaimed in surprise, "It turns out that you are Jiang De and Jiang Xiaolangjun that Wu Xuexue said a few days ago, sit down quickly, I am just a rough person who loves to dance and play with guns, and I can actually get into the eyes of Xiaolangjun." ”

Wu Yong, who was next to him, took two stools, sat down with four people, and drank a glass together. Wu Yong asked, "I heard Xiao Langjun say, Xiao Langjun is going to open a factory and set up a workshop on the edge of Jishui, I don't know what kind of business he is doing?" ”

Xu Guanzhong said, "My father-in-law is doing business that no one has done for thousands of years, and what this factory wants to do is a thing called glass and cement, which is crystal clear and transparent, and can be used as a mirror, and the mirror can be used as a mirror, which is the favorite thing of the rich and noble."

The cement can be used to build roads, walls, and houses, and after this thing, there is no need to take bluestone from the deep mountains, and then the glass can get huge profits to reduce the people's endowment, and the cement can get a strong city to resist the foreign army! ”

Chao Gai and Wu Yong glanced at each other, Chao Gai sighed, "This is really an unprecedented deal, I have never heard of these two things, I Chao Gai can only take some stream water and appease the people of a village, but Xiao Langjun wants to benefit the world." ”

Wu Yong smiled, picked up the wine glass and said, "Xiao Langjun, Mr. Xu, the student has a word to tell, and I don't know whether to talk about it or not!" ”

Chao Gai said with a sigh: "Although Wu Xuezhu said that Xiao Langjun and the two of them came here thousands of miles to talk and drink with you and me, they regard you and me as friends, what can't be said between these brothers and friends?" ”

Jiang De also nodded in agreement with Chao Gai's words, and Wu Yong said, "Xiao Langjun's idea is very good, but it also depends on who the court is today?" If Renzong was alive in the past, it would be possible for Xiao Langjun to think like this, but in today's court, the official family is mediocre, addicted to birds, flowers, insects, literature, calligraphy, painting and ink, and supports a single husband with all the people. Officials of all sizes are Wen Tian and Wu Huan, ashamed of appeasing the people, and based on corruption, even if such a court really has the two gods of Xiao Langjun, I am afraid that it will only build glass in the palace and cement for the garden! ”

As he spoke, Wu Yong's eyes narrowed slightly, carefully observing the reaction of Jiang De and the others, and when he saw that there was no trace of anger in the eyes of Jiang De and the others, but a trace of joy, Wu Yong's eyes suddenly sudden, as if he knew something.

Chao Gai panicked, he also knew from Wu Yong's mouth that this Jiang De had an official background, and he could directly enter the palace to face the saint, if Jiang De and others felt that they and Wu Yong were dissatisfied with the court and sued him, then he really had to pull Wu Yong to his death.

Chao Gai hurriedly said to Jiang De and the others, "Don't blame the two, Wu Xuexue used to go to Beijing to take the exam, but because of this name, Cai Jing crossed out the name of the list, so he was a little resentful in his heart, but Wu Xuexue was loyal to me and the Great Song Dynasty, and he would never learn from a dog like Zhang Yuan to betray the country." ”

Jiang De and Xu Guanzhong glanced at each other, Xu Guanzhong smiled and said, "Chao Baozheng, don't be nervous, my lord and I also think that what Wu Xuezhi said is very reasonable, but this day has not yet come, and we still need to lie dormant with peace of mind." ”

Chao Gai is just a rough man, from the fact that he was later set up by Song Jiang all the way, he didn't have too much scheming, but he just listened to Xu Guanzhong's words and felt that something was wrong, but Wu Yong was happy in his heart, he has been unconvinced since he was painted in the imperial examination in the past, he felt that he was full of economy, and he had learned the way of marching soldiers, he should assist the Ming Lord, and he had to get the merit of Zhuge Wang Meng, but he was forced to teach in the village because of a name.

He has always wanted to find a chance to prove himself, but he has learned loyalty since he was a child, and he is unwilling to take refuge in foreign clans.

When Wu Yong heard Xu Guanzhong call Jiang De the lord, to be honest, Wu was full of envy in his heart, in his heart, a literati should find a lord, or assist in the cause of becoming a king, or be defeated and die together, so as to live up to his talent.

Wu Yong heard from Xu Guanzhong's words that Jiang De and Xu Guanzhong were not really loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, but they just felt that the fortunes of the Great Song Dynasty had not declined, his eyes rolled, and all kinds of thoughts flashed in his heart.

"Haha, Chao Baozheng really has a guest coming, you see, I said it, you bearded man still doesn't believe it, saying that I was wrong." A heroic voice sounded, Jiang De and the others looked, but saw two officials walking in, and a few officials behind them were standing outside the door.
