Chapter 59: Prestige and Repercussions

Prestige is a good thing, and the Xun family naturally needs to brush up on the prestige value, but this time the protagonist is Li Ming.

At the age of twenty, he became a taishou (although he bought it with money), and when he took office not long ago, he incorporated dozens of Shanyue villages outside the counties of Huiji County, adding a lot of people to the answer and eliminating many hidden dangers.

In the first half of last year, there was no large-scale rebellion among the Vietnamese people in Huiji County. At the same time, Zu Chong of Danyang County, as well as Yan Baihu of Wu County, the two heroes, have now been ambushed, Li Ming won more with less, pacified the bandits at the same time, indirectly led to the stability of Wu County and Danyang County, and the two counties were also happy to do a favor and publicize for him.

In fact, in the entire Central Plains now, as long as it is the Xun clan, and even the area involved in the Xin Chamber of Commerce, the news of Li Ming will be circulated. The twenty-year-old Taishou was originally an attractive chewer, let alone established such a feat in such a short period of time.

For a time, Li Ming's prestige in the Han Dynasty skyrocketed, and he himself successfully entered the ranks of 'celebrities'. At least in most of the major cities, the common people began to know that there was a Taishou named 'Li Ming' in the Han Dynasty.

"The year before last, my father used to be a soldier under him...... "I once joined Li Ming's soldiers in Yingchuan, and many of them may have been disabled, but when they mentioned Li Ming, they only had pride in their hearts.

"Daddy is amazing!" Listening to his father's words, the child cheered excitedly, and the vanity of the old man was satisfied.

"In charge, I heard that there is a big miasma in the south of the Yangtze River, there are countless snakes, insects, rats and ants, as well as demons and monsters, why did you say that adults went there? It can't be, it's belittled, right? The wife had just finished the work at hand and asked a little worriedly.

"Listen to what the outside is saying?" The old pawn was suddenly unhappy, "My lord is in Huiji now, how many big things have you done?" Since he chose to go to Huiji, he naturally has his reasons......"

"Boss, if Jiangnan is really okay, do you think we should move there too? You can also see that the Central Plains seems to be getting more and more peaceful......" The wife couldn't help but suggest.

"What else can I do now?" The old pawn gestured to his mutilated left hand and smiled bitterly. Fortunately, the adults were benevolent and righteous, teaching him the craft of making steamed buns, and they made a batch of steamed buns every day to sell them, and they also made a lot of money.

"Big deal, we continue to sell steamed buns in Jiangnan!" The wife suggested.

"That's good! I do miss adults a little bit! Now that he has a family, he doesn't know if he needs a family......" The old pawn slowly stood up, as if he had made a decision.

Similar things can be seen in many places, especially when the business travel advertised that Li Ming had developed an anti-insect medicine, and the demon (parasitic disease) in Jiangnan could finally be cured, many people had the idea of going south.

The homeland is relatively speaking, in February, Jiangxia rebelled, and the troops dominated by Zhao Ci captured Nanyang, and Nanyang was killed in battle; Qingzhou has Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, which seem to have become more irritable recently; The Yellow Turban of Montenegro is also ready to move, and His Majesty is ready to send someone to ask for it. I feel that there is no safe place in the Central Plains or even in Hebei, so maybe you can consider Jiangnan.

The humble scholars and warriors in the folk are also ready to move, and everyone can see that a new family is about to rise! It's just that this family is still very weak, and the ability to protect itself may still be insufficient. Especially I don't know where it came out, Li Ming copied all the books in Lantai at the beginning......

The truth is unknown, but he is dressed with a nose and eyes, and it is said that it is because of this that he has to retreat to Huiji County to avoid suspicion. Judging from Li Ming's history, I am afraid that this matter is true to a large extent!

"George, do you regret not following me now?" In the tavern in Luoyang City, Xin Ping poured a glass of wine for Xin Bi.

"No regrets!" Xin Bi shook his head, "There seem to be more and more capable people under Li Ming's command, my current level has passed, and it is impossible to get ahead!" It's better to take the opportunity to enrich the martial arts and culture in Luoyang, Your Majesty wants to conquer the Zhao Ci Department of Nanyang, I plan to fight in the past, and if I am lucky, I will go to Lantai to read a book! ”

"It's just that I'm worried that Li Ming won't be able to believe you when the time comes!" Xin Ping was quite worried, he was destined to take refuge in Yuan Shao, which was the decision of the Xin family, and the Xin family needed to rely on Yuan Valve for further development, but Xin Bi could not join him in Yuan Valve.

At least as he feared now, if Xin Bi wanted to take refuge in Yuan Valve, Yuan Shao or Yuan Shu might not be willing to believe him. Even if you join the command, you are always on guard, and even if there is no existence, what's the point?!

"Li Ming is from a poor family in the end, and many things are righteous first, as long as I treat him sincerely, why worry?" Xin Bi smiled, in the end, he had been by Li Ming's side for a while, and Xin Bi understood Li Ming's personality.

"Some things aren't being spread overtly, but you have to be a little prepared!" Xin Ping lowered his voice, "I heard that Li Ming has improved the formula of the medicinal bath, which can increase the effect by two percent!" It has already been used in the palace, but it doesn't seem to be widespread yet! In addition, there is news that Li Ming tamed a huge mountain boar as a mount, but it was a spirit beast! ”

"I didn't expect that in such a short time, he actually had such a high achievement......" Xin Bi was stunned for a while when he heard this, and then shook his head with a wry smile, he thought that he had worked hard enough, but in front of Li Ming's performance, it was still far from enough.

At the same time, on the other side of Luoyang, in the Zhou Mansion, Luoyang Ling Zhou Yi, his brothers Zhou Zhong and Zhou Shang are here. The eldest brother Zhou Chong attacked the Marquis of Anyang, and he was not here.

"Brother, with your talent, even if you are directly a county guard, it is not a problem, why do you agree to be a county commander?" Zhou Yi looked at his second brother Zhou Shang with a little worry, there are rampant miasma monsters in that place in Jiangdong, and there are even more demons and mountains to make trouble, unless those families in Jiangdong, or criminal officials who have committed crimes, who would like to be out there?

As for the order of the Han Emperor, it was directly hung and left, and there were many people who hung the seal and left it in recent years, and it even became a trend. There are still fewer cases of those celebrities hanging up and leaving? In the end, it's not the court that is dumbfounded, and invite others back?!

"I'm not interested in the county order, but I'm very interested in Li Ming!" Zhou Shang said with a smile, "I am very curious about the existence of a spirit beast that can tame it, what kind of impact it will have on the situation of the Great Han!" The point is that I'm also curious, who is he? A loyal minister, a traitor, or a complete careerist! ”

"So what? Who is he and how does he relate to us? Zhou Yi asked.

"Big problem!" Zhou Shang smiled and shook his head, "Although he is a county guard, who knows if he will become the assassin of Yangzhou in the future?" Don't forget, our ancestral land is Shu County, Lujiang County, under the rule of Yangzhou! ”

"Uncle, I also want to go to Jiangnan to have a look!" Xiao Zhou Yu stepped forward and said, it is said that as a junior, it is not easy for him to interject, but in the third generation of children, he is regarded as a descendant of the key training and is qualified to speak.

You don't see, the three generations of children around him, even if it is his brother, don't even have the qualifications to speak at this moment, so he can only watch Zhou Yu speak there with envy.

"Gong Jin, tell me what you think!" Zhou Yi has not yet spoken, and the fourth uncle Zhou Zhong has spoken.

"I heard that the Xun clan is going to open a Huiji Academy in Shanyin County, and the Xun clan's resources will gradually transfer a part of it to Huiji County, which is really an important signal. The key is that according to rumors, Li Ming is actually the honorary head of Huiji Academy, can his father and two uncles know what this means? Zhou Yu said slowly.

"Li Ming, this is cultivating a talent team for himself! Haha, it seems that there is no need to distinguish it, Li Ming is afraid that he is not a loyal minister, do you want to report it to Your Majesty? When Zhou Yi heard this, he quickly reacted and immediately laughed.

"Your Majesty was afraid that he already knew, but what he didn't expect was to condone him like this!" Zhou Shang shook his head, what Zhou Yu, who was twelve years old, could analyze, could it be that Emperor Han was a fool?

"Your Majesty's behavior is getting weirder and weirder, this is not the way to be a king!" Zhou Yi shook his head.

"Brother is too decent, so he suffers!" Zhou Zhong said suddenly. In his opinion, Zhou Yi is talented, but he is too upright, so that it is inevitable that he lacks some connections in the officialdom, otherwise it would not be just Luoyang Ling.

You must know that the ancestors and great-grandfathers, even their uncles, have all been the third princes! It's just that the three of them don't know that Zhou Zhong, the most taciturn and the youngest of the four brothers, actually became one of the three princes in history!

"Go on!" Zhou Zhong continued to look at Zhou Yu.

Yu has some interest in music, and has also studied the piano under Cai Gong for a few months. I heard that Cai Gong was also teaching at Huiji Academy, so he naturally planned to go over and listen to some teachings.

The key is the matter of spirit beasts, there are records of those who can tame spirit beasts, there are a few people such as Xiang Yu, Han Xin, Huo Quzhi, Li Ling and Duan Xi, these people are rare famous generals, Li Ming can tame spirit beasts, even if it is a mountain boar, it also makes Yu quite curious, take a closer look, what kind of existence he is! Zhou Yu arched his hand and said.

In the final analysis, it is still curiosity, but the three adults are not strange, Zhou Yu is only twelve years old, and it is normal for him to be curious.

"Hehe, this time I went south, let Gongjin follow me!" Zhou Shang said with a smile, "Besides, third brother, you are busy with official business, and you don't have much time to teach Gong Jin, at his age, it's good to go out for a walk!" Now that Li Ming has been able to solve the problem of demons, be careful, Jiangnan is also a dangerous place. ”

"It's good!" Zhou Yi hesitated for a while, "Gongjin, this time you go south, you must listen to your uncle!" ”

"Daddy, don't worry!" Zhou Yu got the reply, and immediately said happily, as for the other two cousins, they could only watch with envy that Zhou Yu got the opportunity to travel this time.

However, no one knows that some dark places, some people's attention is something else.

"Got it? According to the intelligence, Zhang Ning's slut seems to have entered Yan Baihu's territory, and now he is afraid that he has fallen into the hands of Li Ming! Yuan Kui looked at his brother Yuan Feng.

""Taiping Technique" and "Taiping Heart Sutra", I'm afraid that Your Majesty is even more anxious than us! Not to mention those yellow turban thieves! Yuan Feng smiled faintly, Li Ming really took Zhang Ning in, so it was equivalent to getting a hot potato.

"We can't sit back and watch someone else get it!" Yuan Kui said affirmatively.

"Of course!" Yuan Feng has retired from the position of the third prince, and his health has been a little bad in recent years, so he only hopes that before he dies, he can further expand Yuan Valve's influence, even if it is a little better.

At the same time, in the middle of Hanzhong County.

"I received the news, Zhang Ning is now in Li Ming's hands!" Shen Yue said excitedly, he knew what it meant.

"It's just Hanzhong County, it's too far away from Jiangdong!" Liu Ting naturally understood the seriousness of the matter, but they couldn't reach it, so they could only sigh silently.

"It doesn't matter, even if we can't get it, at least the other Yellow Turban thieves won't get it! Qingzhou Yellow Turban is said to have begun to move south, but I am afraid that it will soon enter the territory of Xuzhou, and it is only a matter of time before it enters Wu County! Not to mention, on the side of the Lang Evil Palace, can you face it calmly? Shen Yue's eyes rolled and she had already thought of a solution.

Anyway, let this hot potato, burn, it's best to burn Li Ming!

"Shen Yue, you're too bad!" Liu Ting smiled, but did not refuse. "Taiping Heart Sutra" is just a Xuan-level middle-grade exercise, it doesn't matter if you want it or not, the key is "Taiping Technique", which contains the cultivation methods of Yellow Turban Warriors, Yellow Turban Warriors and Shadow Guards, as well as the legendary Taoist Soldier Cultivation Method, and other methods such as Fu Seal are also drooling.

In other places, there are also many rangers, or warriors in the opposition, who have received the news. is different from those speculative existences, they are all existences with real talent and real learning, but they are just born and other problems, and they can't go through the formal way.

"The strongest martial artist of the younger generation? Interesting! "In the middle of Peiguo, Yuzhou, a ranger killed a group of thieves who blocked the road and robbed, and learned of Li Ming's existence in a conversation with the rescued caravan.

"I'll meet you when I come and go!" The man smiled, took the caravan's thank-you gift, and headed straight south.

There are many similar situations, among which the strongest response is actually the rangers or people in the opposition in Yangzhou.

"Zigang, Xuzhou is already a land of right and wrong, how about you and I move to Jiangdong? Huiji, it seems to be a good place! Zhang Zhao picked up the wine glass and leaned back on the Taishi chair to drink comfortably.

The furniture that has been circulated in Huiji is this kind of "livable" brand furniture, which has begun to radiate out to the surroundings, and some wealthy families in Xuzhou have ordered and even begun to imitate it.

"Let's go!" The man opposite Zhang Zhao, Guangling Zhang Hong thought about it and finally made a decision.

Xuzhou has no danger to defend, if the Qingzhou Yellow Turban goes south, then a small family like them is afraid that they will be directly unlucky. Instead of sitting back and waiting, it's better to plan early. Even if you don't move directly to Huiji, it's good to transfer property on a small scale.

As for Li Ming, I was afraid and didn't expect that his reputation had been publicized multiple times and completely beaten out. Not to mention that he is famous all over the world, he is also a famous person.

At this moment, he is still practicing martial arts every day, and then paying attention to the workshop and government affairs. Since he introduced Arabic numerals, they have been used in parallel with Chinese numerals, and it has become difficult for the officials to falsify their accounts. At least Xi Zhicai and Jia Xu are not in vain, and there are more Xun Biao checks on the top, which is foolproof.

Perhaps because the pregnant woman became more sensitive, Xun Cai's emotional fluctuations began to be a little strong. As a husband, Li Ming spends most of her time at home with her, which makes Xun Cai always maintain a good attitude.

After learning about this, Xun Biao and Xun Di, who had arrived in Huiji County, nodded with satisfaction, the two sisters, the resentment of Li Ming's brother-in-law was diluted a lot.
