Lin Yi's words made me feel like I had been injected with a stimulant, and my spirit quickly lifted up, and at the same time, I felt ashamed of my low mood just now. It's just that although he said some truth, I still have a lot of questions, so I cautiously asked:

"What Brother Lin said seems to have some truth, but I don't have a single soldier in my hands now, how can I make a difference?"

"Huh! That's a mistake! Lin Yi has traveled all over the world, and he has heard of the reputation of adults for a long time, and he has admired him for a long time, but he just hates not having the opportunity to see each other. If the adults do not think that the villain is from a humble background and has limited talents, he is willing to be driven by the adults to follow the work of dogs and horses. After speaking, he slammed to the ground, and his expression was solemn and decisive.

Hearing this, my eyes lit up, and my heart suddenly had mixed feelings. I, the so-called Yunnan Xuanfu envoy, have fallen to such a point, and there are still people who are willing to follow me. As the saying goes, 'If you lose your horse, you don't know if you know it', if you can get such a talented and insightful master, what else do I have to complain about?

I rushed forward and held Lin Yi's hands tightly, my eyes were full of gratitude and admiration, and I was reluctant to let go for a long time.

At this time, Lin Tong next to him also stepped forward and said loudly: "Lord Li, what I have always admired the most is the eldest brother, since the eldest brother trusts the adult so much, I, Lin Tong, am also willing to follow the adult to improve my meager strength, please fulfill the adult." ”

Lin Qingliang, who had not spoken, shook his head slightly at this time, and sighed lightly: "You brothers are indeed a little sloppy, although I also have the same idea as you, but it must be agreed by your grandfather." If you act recklessly, I am afraid that it will get worse and worse, and then it will be a big basket. However, Master Li, don't get me wrong, I, Lin Qingliang, am also a person who reads poetry and books, and my original intention is still to the imperial court. Although this matter is a little tricky, it is a good thing for the people of Yunnan. It's just that without their grandfather's consent, I don't think it's going to be possible. Why don't we go to the wine tasting and talk about it in detail, and wait for the castle lord to return. ”

Lin Yi and I hurriedly nodded yes when we heard this.

Lin Tong, who was on the side, laughed disapprovingly: "Grandpa must agree with such a thing that benefits the country and the people." I am a good man, how can I spend my life in mediocrity, I must always show my lifelong ambitions. Ha ha! I think it must be the second uncle's wine worm coming up again. Fortunately, we will take this opportunity to drink all the good wine of the second uncle, so that he will feel distressed for a few more days. ”

At that moment, everyone hugged me with high interest and came to a delicate and elegant pavilion at the back, and after Lin Qingliang confessed, he turned to the back to Zhang Luo to drink and eat.

It was noon, and the food and drinks were quickly ready. Lin Qingliang is really a good drinker, and as soon as he sat down, he raised his glass to drink. I think I have a good amount of alcohol, and I heard that the alcohol content in ancient times was very low, so when I saw Lin Qingliang raise a glass to invite, I didn't hesitate to drink until the glass was dry, but I didn't expect the wine to be delicious, and I knew that I was fooled. It turned out that this wine was spicy and mellow, no less than the high-end liquor such as Wuliangye that I had drunk. It seems that the so-called saying that there was no high degree of alcohol in ancient times is pure nonsense, and I almost made a fool of myself.

Seeing my embarrassment, Lin Yi smiled and said: "It's all to blame, it's all overlooked, this is my second uncle's exclusive liquor, which is much more mellow than the wine on the market, and it is difficult for ordinary people to swallow it at all, so I didn't inform you in advance, and I ask for your forgiveness." ”

At this time, I had already relieved my strength, and said with a wry smile: "I really didn't expect that there would be such a mellow and fragrant wine in the world, which really opened my eyes." If the rebellion can be quelled, Mr. Lin will be invited to go to Ningzhou and open a large restaurant to ensure that the business is very prosperous. ”

When Lin Qingliang heard this, he was immediately excited, and said happily: "Lin's self-brewed wine has never been shown to others, if it can pour the world's drunkards, it will also be a great blessing." After speaking, he also took the cup and drank it.

The three members of the Lin family are all very proud of the amount of wine, afraid that I will not be able to drink, and frequently persuade me to stop tasting it, but I did not expect that I had already been mentally prepared at this time, and the wine was indeed tempting, and I had drunk more than ten glasses in a row, although the size of the cup was only about one or two, such a amount of wine was also very amazing. The three of them were dumbfounded, but they also admired me sincerely.

When the wine was hot, Lin Yi told me in detail about his plan. Although the population of Linjiabao is in the thousands, there are mostly old and weak women and children, and there are only three or four hundred warriors who are really brave and good at fighting, and the main force of this plan is still a little thin; Therefore, in order to increase the weight of victory, he had to persuade his mentor Ningzhou to sentence Qian Shitang, open the joint, and offer treasures to Sun Decheng, who was about to become king, in the name of merchants in southern Sichuan, so as to get close to Sun Decheng; Then Lin Yi contacted his close friend Yuezhou Wei to defend Jian Zheng and quickly control Sun Decheng's tooth soldiers, so that the warriors of Lin Jiabao could smoothly enter the Xuanfu Envoy Yamen and capture or even kill Sun Decheng. If all this goes well, Sun Thief will be able to give the first prize. The whole plan was very coherent and ingenious, and I listened to it with great convincingness.

But now, whether I can successfully recruit Qian Shitang and Jian Zheng for my use is the most critical issue. After discussing with Lin Yi repeatedly, it was decided that I would personally go out and go to Yuezhou Wei to meet Jian Zheng first, in order to show my sincerity and appease the soldiers of Yuezhou Wei by the way.

While discussing the details, an old man with a white beard and a fluttering chest walked in from outside the hall door. Lin Qingliang, Lin Yi, and Lin Tong hurriedly got up to meet them, and I immediately got up with everyone.

After listening to everyone's introduction, the old man slowly moved in front of me, and his eyes showed appreciation and approval. He said in a peaceful tone: "Old decay Lin Zongyi, I am fortunate to meet my Han champion, it is better to meet if I am really famous." Master Li has a strange appearance and extraordinary appearance, and he is worthy of being the pillar of my Han Dynasty! ”

I hurriedly thanked him: "Li Yi's late learner is already shallow and abrupt, how dare he be an old gentleman." ”

Hearing this, Lin Zongyi smiled and said: "The 'Four Great Talents of Lingnan' has a reputation far and wide, and Master Li is even more of a leader. Come, come, come, and please sit down and talk about it. While speaking, the guests and hosts sat down separately.

After Lin Zongyi sat down, he looked at me meaningfully and said: "The old man has lived in the mountains and forests for a long time, and he has never asked about the world, but he has also heard that my Han has four outstanding talents, who are the best talents in the past and the present, leading the wind of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and achieving many good stories in the world. Although the old man intends to marry, how can he close the mountain road and see each other indefinitely. Lord Li is among them, when there is an immortal talent, now that he has a fateful encounter, how dare he not ask for comfort for the rest of his life, I hope that Lord Li must not be humble. ”

Depend on! The ancients spoke very reservedly, so it was to test me. It would be fine if I were the so-called champion of the Han Dynasty, but I am a real impostor! I am not surprised that this Li Yi is one of the four great talents of the Southern Han Dynasty, although I am also keen on ancient poetry, but with the level of my three-legged cat, if I want to test my subset of classics and history, how can I hide from Old Man Lin's insight! Didn't this old man make me ugly with all sincerity? Thinking of this, I was covered in a layer of fine sweat, and I secretly complained in my heart.

I was about to say the right word, but Lin Zongyi continued to ask: "I heard that Master Li is preparing to take up the post of Yunnan Xuanfu envoy, I wonder if there is any effective measure to deal with the current chaotic situation, calm the hearts of the scholars, and comfort the hopes of the people?" ”

It turns out that this old man wants to understand my policy of governance, as long as it is not a test of me, how can this kind of official article be difficult for me. Thinking of this, my heart was a lot more steady, and after thinking about it for a while, I said loudly: "Although I am not talented in my later life, I also understand the truth of the sage's words 'the people cannot stand without faith', and Mencius also said, 'Those who are sincere, the way of heaven is also; Those who think sincerely, the way of people is also', as the saying goes: those who win the hearts of the people win the world. In the next opinion, the desire of the people is the desire of the official, if the official can not benefit one party, or even abuse the people, harm the people, how to talk about the parents of the people, for the pillar of the court. ”

"Although he is a scholar, he often thinks about the way of being an official, often thinks about the suffering of the people, thinks about it day and night, and gains something. That is, those who are officials, the first to believe, to treat the people with sincerity, to benefit the people, and to show the Quartet with faith and righteousness, why worry about the loyal and virtuous ministers who are not in danger of the country, and the dead soldiers who are in the Yasukuni disaster. Moreover, since ancient times, what the people of Li have hoped for is nothing more than comfort and food and clothing, and all dynasties have taken controlling the people as their own priority, and punishing the people's desires as the top priority. Yi thinks that opening up the people's prestige is the atmosphere of a great country; Developing people's wisdom is the strategy of strengthening the country. In his later years, he should follow the aspirations of the former virtuous businessmen and open up his way to expand the people's popularity; Set up schools to develop people's wisdom; Reward cultivation and weaving, promote industry and business, and use civil capital. If this is the case, then the peace and prosperity of the people and the wealth of the country can be expected. The boy said in vain, please correct the old gentleman. ”

After I finished speaking impassionedly, even I was moved by myself, I didn't expect that I really had two hits, and the ancient books of these years have not been read in vain! Hehe! Thinking of this, an indescribable desire surged in my heart, and the entangled anger was indescribable.

After listening to me, Lin Zongyi didn't speak for a long time, his face changed with complicated expressions, he didn't know whether he was happy or worried, he calmed down after a long time, sighed, and sighed: "The old man has lived for many years, and he never knows the horror of the next life." It is really admirable and lamentable, that Lord Li can have such a heart and monstrous ambition to help the world at the age of a weak crown. The old man often thinks that the court scholars sit day and night, and they are exhausted to seek advancement, and there are few talented people. Looking at it from an adult's point of view, the old man's posture is ridiculous. The light of the stars is incomparable, the sun and the moon, the old man is rotten, but the good lord is still there, and my Chinese people are fortunate to have no worries. ”

After saying these words, his eyes were filled with tears, but there was a lot of joy in his expression. When I saw this, my heart was full of doubts, so that I would not have burst into tears after listening to my remarks! How much more have I left to play?
