Chapter 454: A Coincidental Encounter with Wen Huanzhang
While chatting, the soldiers who went out to run cross-country had returned, and it was still early for breakfast, so Chao Gai arranged for them to go back to rest and wait for dawn to talk about anything else.
Chao Gai only stayed in Mangdang Mountain for two days, and the overall performance here was very good, the soldiers' drills were in place, and their gestures were all soldiers' demeanor, and there was no reckless atmosphere of the rivers and lakes. Fan Rui, Li Gon, and Xiang Chong do not regard themselves as cottage family members, but military officers, and they are much more mature in speaking and doing things than before.
In the past two days, Chao Gai and Li Kui guided their military training, pointed out some deficiencies, and asked Fan Rui to correct them. The next day, as soon as it was dark, Chao Gai said to Fan Rui: "Fan Rui, Xiang Chong, Li Gon, the soldiers sent by the imperial court may arrive soon, or they may arrive after the Spring Festival, you must be careful, I will leave tonight." ”
Fan Rui said, "Why doesn't my brother stay in the camp for a few days?" ”
"There are too many things, although several new state capitals have been obtained, but they are all messes, the people are poor, the people are poor, and it takes time to take care of it. As soon as this incident is over, you will officially return to the team, no, don't take it with you on the mountain anymore. Chao Gai said.
Fan Rui said: "Okay, everything is under my brother's command." ”
Immediately, Chao Gai and the others said goodbye to Fan Rui, walked dozens of miles, and came to Ruan Xiaoer's fleet waiting in the canal.
Ruan Xiaoer said: "Brother went out in the past few days, we rescued a few people from the river, among them there is an old man, who has an extraordinary bearing, and he is still in the capital, called ~ What Wen Huanzhang." ”
"Oh, Wen Huanzhang?" Chao Gai recalled this person carefully, and after thinking for a while, it suddenly dawned on him, isn't this guy a high-ranking military advisor? Could it be that he came to Jeju to investigate the situation and changed his career to be a meticulous worker, no, where is there a military advisor to do such a dangerous thing.
Chao Gai asked: "How did they save the people and where they were going, can you ask in detail?" ”
It turned out that this was the case, Chao Gai, Luo Yun, Li Kui and others led the team to Mangdang Mountain. Leaving Ruan Xiaoer's fleet dangling on Weishan Lake, which is not the territory of the Jeju Army, so he had to be careful and low-key, Ruan Xiaoer parked more than a dozen centipede ships in the harbor. There is nothing to do, Ruan Xiaoer's hobby is committed again, what hobbies does Ruan Xiaoer have, go into the water to catch fish, now it is late autumn weather, the weather is very cold, but Ruan Xiaoer is not afraid of this, immediately brought a few sailors, set up a centipede boat to the center of the lake, and found a deep place, Ruan Xiaoer changed his clothes, and a fierce man plunged into the water, good guy, there are really big fish more than ten catties of big carp in this lake can be seen everywhere, Ruan Xiaoer teased the big fish in the water, and finally caught a big carp of more than 20 catties on the boat, Ruan Xiaoer arranged for the sailor to say: "Put this big fish in a wooden barrel, and when my brother comes back, I will stew fish for my brother to eat." ”
It is this kung fu that a painting boat came to the south, what is a painting boat, in fact, it is a beautiful point for the boat to be dressed up, specially to pull guests, two boats on the painting boat, four guests.
On the back came a bird boat transporting wood, late autumn weather, foggy, it may also be that the boatman on the bird boat was napping, the bird boat drove fast, a guy hit the painting boat, the painting boat is just a boat, this collision directly overturned into the water, the two boats are okay, can still swim in the water, but the four guests are miserable, and they fell into the water in an instant.
Ruan Xiaoer saw that he couldn't be idle, and immediately ordered the sailors to save people, Ruan Xiaoer, these sailors are one in a hundred, and they began to save people as soon as they jumped into the water, and it didn't take long to rescue these four people, an old man, in his fifties, two young people in their twenties, it seems that they are entourage, and there is a child, like a teenager, it should be a scholar.
The sailors pressed and controlled the water, and quickly woke up the four people, the scholar and the two attendants were fine, but the old man was a little troublesome, after all, he was old, he was cold and frightened, and had a fever.
Ruan Xiaoer said: "Save people to the end, this old man has a fever, don't leave yet, find an inn at the dock for a few days before leaving." ”
The attendants said, "Thank you, strong man, let's go find the inn." ”
The group of four went to look for the inn, but it didn't take long for them to come back, and the attendant said: "Zhuangshi, you are a good person to the end, help us find an inn, these inns will not take us in." ”
Ruan Xiaoer said strangely: "Do you have no money, so the inn won't take you in?" ”
The attendant said: "There is still money for staying in the hotel, but the problem is that the three of us carry an old man with a fever, and the inn doesn't dare to accept it." ”
Ruan Xiaoer said: "Good people do it to the end, you come with me." ”
Immediately, Ruan Xiaoer took the four of them to the Tianya Inn, and the Tianya Inn was still very benevolent and arranged the accommodation of this group. Ruan Xiaoer said: "It is estimated that you don't have enough money, I'll hire a doctor for you, and leave you a few taels of silver, and go back as soon as you are cured." ”
Immediately, Ruan Xiaoer invited the doctor of the water army over, and after the examination, he said that he was just frightened, prescribed some medicine, and the fever was gone. The doctor immediately prescribed medicine and gave it to the old man.
The next day, Ruan Xiaoer was playing in the port, and the old man and the other four came over, came to Ruan Xiaoer's side, gave a deep salute, and said, "Thank you for the grace of the strong man for saving his life, please ask the strong man's surname." ”
Ruan Xiaoer said with a smile: "It's not worth mentioning the effort of raising your hands, anyone you meet will help." I'm just a boatman, just call me Ruan Xiaoer. ”
The old man said: "I listen to your accent, but you are a local, I don't know how far you have to go to that Yuncheng?" It turned out that the boat was damaged and was being repaired, and he was unwilling to continue north. ”
As soon as Ruan Xiaoer heard that this old man was going to Yuncheng, he paid attention, because he saw that the old man's temperament was like that of an official.
Ruan Xiaoer said: "What do the old people call you, do you go to Yuncheng to visit relatives or friends." ”
"The old man's surname is Wen, just call me Mr. Wen. I went to Yuncheng not to visit relatives or friends, but I heard that the people of Yuncheng have enough food and clothing, not only enough food to eat, but ordinary people can also afford to eat fish, meat, and even cars and horses, I plan to go over to see if this is true or fake. Mr. Wen said.
Ruan Xiaoer said: "Why is your old man so interested in this, not only in Yunseong, but also in the whole of Jeju. ”
Mr. Wen said, "Ruan Zhuangshi, can you tell us in detail how Jeju developed and why ordinary people are so rich." ”
"I'm a rough person, I'm afraid I can't say it well. But since the old gentleman asked, I'll talk about it briefly. First of all, there is public security, and the security in Jeju is very good, whether it is by land or water, it is very safe, there are no large groups of bandits and bandits, and occasionally individual cases can be basically solved. The second is the road, so how to say, if you want to be rich, you must first build a road. In the past two years, Jeju has built roads every year, and the pipeline can be repaired with six horse-drawn carriages in parallel, and even the rural roads can basically run two horse-drawn carriages in parallel. The waterways are also often cleaned up to dredge the harbor. As soon as the transportation is convenient, won't there be more merchants? ”
Mr. Wen said: "What you said is reasonable, but the security and transportation near Tokyo are good, and I haven't seen ordinary people rich." ”
"You don't know, security and traffic are just that, yes, the basics. After these two things were completed, the local government overhauled water conservancy and promoted rice and fish farming. Then the cattle and horses were sold on credit, and basically the cattle and horses ploughed the fields and pulled carts. New varieties of Tianwang rice, peanuts, cotton and other crops have been promoted, and more grains can be raised with more pigs and sheep, more pigs and sheep, more fertilizer, more fertilizer, and more grain, so such a cycle has been formed. Ruan Xiaoer said.
Mr. Wen said: "When the old man was young, he once mentioned that the theory of pig food security in the world, more grain for pigs, more grain and more pigs, forming a virtuous circle, the people have enough food and clothing, everyone has food to eat, and meat to eat during the New Year, so that the people are safe and the world is safe." The world is stable, the natural country is rich and strong, and there is no fear of the Great Liao and Western Xia. This time I went to Jeju and I was sure to meet the legendary Chaogai. ”
"Or is your old man knowledgeable, may I ask the old man's name?" As soon as Ruan Xiaoer heard that the old man wanted to see Chao Gai, he immediately asked for his name.
The old man said: "The old man Wen Huanzhang." ”
This is how Ruan Xiaoer saved this Wen Huanzhang.
Chao Gai recalled carefully, remembering that this Wen Huanzhang came, and the original book wrote: It turned out that this Wen Huanzhang was a famous scribe, and the ministers of the court had a lot of knowledge, and they were all ready to welcome him. At the end of the day, they dispersed, and they packed up and set off. There is a poem as proof:
Over the years, he has been teaching Yin Anren and holding the rope in front of the army.
The powerful and the Manchurian Dynasty have many old knowledges, but there is no one to recommend the sage.
Chao Gai secretly thought that Wen Huanzhang should not have followed Gao Yu at this time, and it would be good if he could arrange for him to be a person in charge of internal affairs, so he immediately asked his own soldiers to go on duty to take snacks and gift boxes and other items, and then Chao Gai changed into casual clothes, and only took Luo Yun to carry the gift box to Tianya Inn to find Wen Huanzhang.
There was a knock on the door, and soon a little scholar opened the door, and when he saw that Chao Gai and the others were not afraid of life, he asked politely, "Who are you looking for?" ”
"May I ask if Mr. Wen lives here?" Chao Gai said.
"It's here, who are you?" Scholar Road.
Chao Gai said: "In Lower Jeju Chao Gai, I specially came to visit Mr. Wen. ”
The boy said, "Please later, I will report to the master." ”
The guest room was very small, and the scholar quickly told Wen Huanzhang about the situation, and Wen Huanzhang greeted him at the door and said, "Is it the Jeju regimental training envoy Chao Gai?" ”
Chao Gai hugged his fists and said: "It is here, I am currently the enemy of the imperial court of Tianzihao, why did Mr. Wen still come to me from Tokyo, is he not afraid of being implicated?" ”
Wen Huanzhang said: "Please come to Jeju just to see how the people of Jeju are rich. As for being implicated, it should pass soon, and as soon as the imperial army arrives, the imperial court will accept the conditions for Chao Tuanlian. ”
"Oh, why is that, why is Mr. Wen so sure." Chao Gai didn't expect Wen Huanzhang to say that the imperial army would compromise as soon as it arrived.
