Chapter 234: The Down-and-Out Master Book
On the side of the street, Wei Shuo pointed to Liu Yu and gradually moved away from his back and asked Cui Hong: "Uncle Xuan, what do you think of this person?" ”
"Be a generation of heroes!"
However, Shuo also felt the same way. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Looking around the world, there are people who can be rivaled by Shuo, except for Tuoba Jue of the Northern Wei Dynasty, only this person is also!"
"That being the case...... Why not? As he spoke, Cui Hong stretched out his palm and gestured twice on his chest.
"Hahaha, Uncle Xuan is worried, Shuo doesn't get rid of this person, it's not pedantic, but it's more beneficial to keep him."
"I would like to hear the lord's opinion."
"Liu Yu's life is indescribably precious, and his luck is hundreds of times stronger than that of Emperor Zhaolie of the Shu Han Dynasty."
"But it's a pity that he comes from a poor family like Emperor Zhaolie."
"This point is particularly fatal in Jiangdong, where the family is in power, if there is no secret help from me this time, Liu Yu wants to become a general unless war breaks out, otherwise he will not want to come out in his life."
"But even so, it will be difficult for Liu Yu to ascend to the top."
"Moreover, Liu Yu is from a poor family, if he succeeds in ascending to the throne, in order to stabilize his rule, he will definitely purge the family on a large scale."
"The lord plans to use Liu Yu's hand to weaken the Jiangdong family?"
"This is one of them, and Shuo has another concern."
"Uncle Xuan has also been observing for a long time, I don't know what he thinks of Jiangdong?"
"It's just a day!"
"After Xie Anshi, the imperial court can no longer find a qualified prime minister."
"Sima Daozi wastes one, and the Great Jin will die at the hands of this person sooner or later."
"Yes, Shuo is precisely because of this concern, so he is reluctant to kill Liu Yu."
"The lord is worried that Jiangdong will be in chaos, and others will not be able to control the overall situation, and they will be reaped by the Northland Hu people?"
"Well, speaking of which, Shuo, who has a little fame in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, has already come into contact, except for Huan Xuan, who has some ability, the rest are all busy people."
"And Huan Xuan is far worse than Huan Wen, he is impatient, he has no far-sightedness, and he is not enough to make great things."
"Only Liu Yu is the only one who has extraordinary means and abilities, but his background is slightly worse."
"In the future, once there is a change in Jiangdong, if I am too busy to take care of myself, I can only rely on this person to maintain the overall situation."
"The lord is open-minded, unprecedented, and the minister is full of admiration."
This is Cui Hong's heartfelt emotion, he didn't expect Wei Shuo to take the overall situation into account so much.
In order not to let Hu Yu benefit, he would rather let Liu Yu go, not afraid that the other party would become a big trouble in Hexi in the future.
"Hahaha, Uncle Xuan's reputation is too high, but Shuo is not so noble. Although I won't suddenly kill him, I won't let Liu Yu go. ”
"I heard that there are many children of Lianghuai who live in Beijing, and many of them are from poor families."
"Therefore, I am going to go to Jingkou recently, ready to recruit some poor talents, so that I can save Liu Yu in the future."
……
A few days later, Wei Shuo set off for Jingkou under the guise of recruiting a shipmaster.
Jingkou is located in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, bordering the big river in the north and the steep mountains in the south.
It is the north mouth of the Jiangnan Canal, which is connected with the Jianghuai Canal across the Yangtze River.
Jin room south crossing, Zhengbei, Zhenbei, Anbei, Pingbei and other generals' mansions and Beizhonglang general's mansion are permanently located here, so there is the name of 'Beifu', even the famous Beifu soldiers are also named after the town of Jingkou.
Of course, this is not the reason why Wei Shuo went here, the real reason is that Jingkou hides a lot of talents.
Historically, many Wenchen generals who assisted Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty to create a great cause were all born in Jingkou, such as He Wuji, Wei Yongzhi and his brothers (Wei Shunzhi, Wei Xinzhi), Tan Pingzhi, Tan Shao and his brothers (Tan Daoji, Tan Yi, Tan Long), Liu Daolian (Liu Yu's second brother), Liu Yi and his brother Liu Fan, Meng Chang and his brother Meng Huaiyu, Zang Xi and his younger brother Zang Baofu, Zhou Anmu, Liu Wei and his younger brother Liu Qizhi, Zhou Daomin, Tian Yan, etc.
These were all accomplices who raised troops with Liu Yu in history, and most of them were born in Beifu or the children of official eunuchs, and it was almost impossible to be recruited by Wei Shuo.
After all, these people already have a stable foundation and family background in Jingkou, and it is impossible to abandon everything and go to Hexi, where the future is unpredictable.
Wei Shuo didn't target these people either, what he wanted to recruit was the poor talents who followed Liu Yu later, such as the famous Liu Muzhi, and the fierce general Kuai En.
……
In the winter of 392 A.D., when Wei Shuo arrived at Jingkou, it was rare for heavy snowfall.
At this time in previous years, Hexi and Shuofang were already white.
Therefore, seeing the scene in front of them made Wei Shuo and others feel more cordial.
Wei Shuo stretched out his hand to push the car window, and in an instant, a large cloud of snowflakes hit his face, and as far as he could see, the ground was already covered with a thick layer of snow.
"This is the first snow in the south this year, and I don't know how many snows have fallen in the north at this moment?"
Looking at the vast snow outside, Wei Shuo suddenly remembered Hexi.
He didn't know that with the joint efforts of Song Xuan, Cui Hao, Wang Zhenwei and others, the newly recovered Qinzhou had gradually become regular.
Looking at the crystal clear snowflakes falling on his palm, Wei Shuo remembered that he was afraid that he would not be able to go back to Hexi for the New Year this year.
At this time, the convoy stopped, and Cui Hong stepped forward to ask for instructions: "Lord, now that we have entered Jingkou, where are we going next?" ”
"Well, let's find an inn and settle down first."
"No!"
With the sound of ruts rolling, the convoy continued down the street.
At this time, the snow on the ground was almost a foot, and the sky was still falling in large clusters of snowflakes, and the wheels were stuck in the snow, and the movement became more and more difficult.
Finally, after walking for a long time, Wei Shuo and the others stopped in front of an inn.
Due to the freezing weather, most people can only stay at home, and only a few people go out, so there is almost no business in the inn except for a few guests who are drinking.
The shopkeeper was bored and roasting the fire by the charcoal basin, when suddenly a young nobleman dressed in gorgeous clothes opened the curtain and walked in surrounded by a large group of people.
The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and he suddenly felt a little more angry in the store, so he hurriedly got up and greeted, "Are you staying in the store?" Or is it a sharp hit? ”
"Live in the hotel, vacate all your upper rooms here, my family is all covered."
"Great! The guest officer waits for a while, and the small one is let people clean up. ”
Taking advantage of the shopkeeper to clean up the room, Wei Shuo looked around, except for a few idlers, only the depressed scholar sitting alone in the corner attracted his attention.
There was only a plate of side dishes in front of this person, and he was enjoying a pot of wine.
However, from the fact that he glanced at the big fish and meat on the opposite table from time to time, it can be seen that this person has a desire for a tongue, but he is just shy in his pocket.
However, although this person is very down-and-out, he has a free and uninhibited temperament, which is very attractive.
Perhaps not wanting to endure the temptation of food any longer, the reader drank all his wine and got up to settle the bill.
"Little two, little two, check out!"
Xiao Er came over when he heard the news, obviously he was familiar with the scholar, he only glanced at the other party, and said angrily: "Master Liu, you spent a total of 100 yuan this time." ”
"However, with the money you owe for drinks on the first few occasions, you will have to pay a total of two hundred yuan."
The main book? Wei Shuo didn't expect that the down-and-out reader was still a master book.
It doesn't matter which house you are doing, this size is also an official position, so you can't even afford to pay for a meal, right?
When Wei Shuo was secretly discussing with himself, Master Liu had already quarreled with his buddies.
The reason for the quarrel is very simple, this Liu master is shy in his pocket, not only unable to repay the past arrears, but also to keep the account this time.
Now Xiao Er is gone, just now he had to be ordered by the shopkeeper himself, and he had to let Master Liu write off the account no matter what.
Maybe there were too many people inside and outside the store, so Master Liu was a little ashamed to speak, so he had to stand gloomily in the present.
After a while, he sighed and said, "I can't tell you the truth, I can't afford to repay the wine money when I am short of money here, so you can let me turn around for a while, and I will personally deliver the wine money in a few days." ”
Speaking of which, Xiao Er is also out of line, so he won't report to the official for a few hundred dollars, right?
Besides, Master Liu's reputation is usually quite good, and besides, the Yue family is also rich, so in the end, isn't there still the Jiang family?
There was no way, Xiao Er could only shake his head and say: "Alas, the little one can see it, you are always planning to eat and drink for nothing in our store all the time." ”
"Didn't you always go to Yue's house to eat before? Why haven't you been going lately? ”
Listening to what Xiao Er said, Master Liu's face suddenly showed a look of pain, obviously unspeakable, and then opened his mouth to argue, "Look what you said?" I didn't say that I wouldn't pay back the money, but I was short of money these days, and I couldn't turn it over. ”
"Okay, okay, when you turn around, the daylily will be cold!"
