Chapter 125: A Thousand Dollars Buy Horse Bones
The inside of the yellow blind man's room was very dark, which was understandable, after all, his eyes were inconvenient and he did not need light. But Yuan Xi and the others couldn't do it, as soon as they entered the house, Lu Fang went to open the window. The wooden window bar rattled and was pushed out, kicking up a cloud of dust inside. Lu Fang hurriedly blew on it, but a cloud of dust and mist flew in the air, choking himself until he coughed.
The yellow blind man was supported by Yuan Xi and sat down in a panic. There was a small table in the room, and they sat around it. Yuan Xi looked inside the house and found that there was nothing, and it was indeed a destitute house. It seems that although this yellow blind man is very accurate in fortune-telling, he doesn't make much money.
The yellow blind man touched the edge of the table with some unease, his rough fingers blending with the muddy tabletop.
"What else do you want to know? If you ask Xiao Lao'er if he has a way to crack his fate, please forgive me for not being able to do anything. At the beginning, my master only passed on my technique of touching bones and breaking my life, and did not say how to crack it. ”
This is also the reason why although he is popular, he has never become popular. Even if he can calculate other people's lives, no one can say for sure what will happen in the future, and no one will believe him. Second, if he can't say how to solve the disaster, that's the same as not saying it. Isn't it true that other people's fortune telling is just to avoid calamity, otherwise if they listen to it and don't solve it, wouldn't it be purely looking for sin. Therefore, this fortune-telling work can never make money, and you can only live in such a poor village.
It was only when I met Yuan Xi, a person who happened to know the direction of history, that his talent was discovered.
Yuan Xi said: "Old man, have you ever miscalculated your fortune-telling skills?" ”
The blind man Huang thought for a while and said, "If the calculation is right or wrong, the little old man is not sure." It's just a guess based on the bone physiognomy, just like the one before, the cheekbones are steady, the eyebrows are like rushing, the chin is round, and the earlobes are full. But this fate is changeable, and the old man doesn't dare to pack the ticket, there will always be some changes. ”
Lu Fang asked, "That is to say...... This can be changed, isn't it? This guy is worried about his own life, thinking that if he is not allowed, he may be able to take a step forward if he tries harder.
The yellow blind man said: "This is nature. My master once told me that the fate of all living beings is like climbing. When I was born, the mountain to be climbed was predestined. Some people are born prosperous and wealthy, and some people are born poor, which determines how high the mountain you want to climb. But no matter whether you are rich or poor, you will always be on the road, and if you don't walk and climb, you will never be able to reach the heights. This is also why the rich are not more than three generations, and the poor and lowly people have many tricks to leap into the dragon gate. It's a man-made thing. ”
Yuan Xi asked, "Who is your master?" This insight is very incisive. ”
The yellow blind man said: "It's just a wandering Taoist priest, passing by here, living in my house for a month, seeing that I am blind and pitiful, he passed on my set of life-breaking techniques." I don't know who he is, and I don't know his name. ”
Yuan Xi sighed: "If you can see through the world to such an extent, you must also be a master." It's a pity that I didn't have the opportunity to see it. ”
He looked at this raunchy blind man again, and originally wanted to invite him to join, but then he hesitated, although this person was accurate in fortune telling, but what he wanted was a strategist who could strategize, he just had to be taught some side skills, and his expectations were 108,000 miles away. But when I thought that his skill of breaking people was so magical, I was a little reluctant to let go.
"The new official of this son has taken office, and there is a shortage of talents in the government, Mr. Huang...... This one...... If you have a skill, you can benefit the people and serve the imperial court, are you willing to go to Ji County with me to take office? ”
The yellow blind man grinned and said, "What ability can the little old man have to serve the adults?" But I have a stupid way to make people of insight in Youzhou come to work for adults. ”
Yuan Xi perked up and asked, "Oh? Tell me about it. ”
The blind man said: "As long as you issue an order to seek merit and reward you with 100 gold, you can make people rush to it." ”
Yuan Xi was slightly disappointed and said, "I'm new here, even if it's a daughter, I'm afraid no one will believe it." ”
The blind man said: "Have you ever heard the story of a daughter buying horse bones?" ”
"I've heard ......"
"My lord, when you arrive in Ji County, as long as you issue a merit-seeking order, Xiao Lao'er will be the first to go over to receive the reward. In this way, the heroes on the boundary of Youzhou saw that even a blind man could receive a reward, wouldn't it show that the adults were sincerely seeking talents, and naturally gathered in Jingcong. ”
Yuan Xi thought about it carefully and nodded, thinking that it was a good idea.
Seeing that he didn't speak, the yellow blind man hurriedly said: "Naturally, the little old man will not take the adult's bounty in vain, and the bounty will be secretly returned to the adult at that time." ”
Yuan Xi waved his sleeves and said: "If this method works, and it really recruits talents for me, even if this hundred gold is my Mr. Xie's, there is no need to refuse." ”
When the blind man heard that he could get the money, he couldn't help but laugh happily, showing his mutilated teeth, and said, "It's a blessing for the little old man to be able to serve the adults." ”
Leaving the Yellow Blind Man's residence, Yuan Xi looked back at the mottled walls of the house and the peaceful village around him. I thought in my heart that there are countless such small villages in the vast land of Youzhou, and I will have to govern this land in the next few years. If you run it well, you will be your own foothold in the future.
Lu Fang asked: "Second son, is this yellow blind man accurate?" Why do you believe in him so much? In my opinion, this old man is only half-, alarmist. Moreover, he also spoke ill of Mrs. Zhen...... This is simply a sin plus a degree. ”
Yuan Xi said: "You don't need to talk about him first, did he say that you are rich, can you lie on the bed and count the money?" Isn't this life earned on your own? As far as you are concerned, just remember this and push yourself all the time in the future. And Zilong is also ......"
Zhao Yun said respectfully: "Huh." He was still convinced of what he had just calculated, and he also thought that he was able to appear like this because of his follow-up to Yuan Xi, and his favorability quietly rose by 2 to 85.
When he arrived outside the village and joined the people's army, Yuan Xi asked Lu Fang to write a merit order and asked him to take it to Ji County, copy a few copies, and distribute them to various counties.
Then he came up with another idea.
"Let the officials of Ji County send someone to inform all the existing county orders in Youzhou, and let them rush to Ji County to gather. I want to see them when I enter Ji County, and if anyone doesn't come, they don't need to be the county commander. ”
Lu Fangdao: "The county that is far away is several days away from Ji County, and it is not fair to ask the county order there to arrive in time?" ”
Yuan Xi said: "It depends on their initiative...... I will deliberately walk slower, I will soon arrive in Ji County, I will go around the neighborhood first, and go down to the grassroots level to investigate. ”
