Chapter 118 Bashu Comes
Tang Li said this, he really wasn't bragging.
Although Liu Kan has not been in the warehouse for a long time, it has only been half a year since he broke his fingers. But in the past six months, the oscillations caused by him may be something that many people cannot do in a lifetime.
The people of Loucang are afraid of Liu Kan, and at the same time they like this young man, but he has a lot of money and a bold temperament. After the iron-blooded means and bold temperament are intertwined, they form a very peculiar charm that attracts the people around them.
Moreover, Liu Kan's grange, which is located next to Gaogang and faintly forms a courtyard of the building, has been planned and will break ground at any time.
It is said that the annex will cost 300 gold eridium, which is an astronomical amount in the eyes of the Louting people.
At the same time, the overall urban construction of the warehouse will also start together. Unlike forced labor, those who participate in the construction of the warehouse are not forced to work, but sign up according to their own circumstances. Moreover, the construction of the barn is not unpaid labor, and the construction site will guarantee a lunch, and depending on the work of the individual, you can get three liters to one bucket of coarse corn. This really touched the hearts of many people.
Many families on the water, and even some women, children, old and weak, are looking forward to this day.
In particular, the elderly who are unable to engage in farm work due to old age or physical inconvenience are also eager to join in.
Therefore, when Liu Kan tied everyone together with interests, his prestige in Loucang gradually rose.
Zhang Cang lives here, and it is indeed very safe.
Of course. There is a precondition for this, that is, Liu Kan must agree.
In Tang Li's opinion, Liu Kan will definitely not refuse. In fact, Liu Kan did not refuse, but just smiled bitterly in his heart.
There was a Liu Ju earlier, and now there is another Zhang Cang......
If this continues, it won't be long before I am afraid that this place will become a fugitive shelter.
I hope Yingzhuang will leave Yu County sooner. In case when he came over to inspect and saw Zhang Cang. But it's impossible to tell if you're guilty.
Liu Kan agreed with Zhang Cang to stay, but he did not agree with him living in the official office.
"Ah Kan, Mr. Zhang is a celebrity, how can you let him guard the warehouse?"
After listening to Liu Kan's arrangement, whether it was Tang Li or Chen Yi, they all showed their anger.
Liu Kan was also angry: "Let him stay in the official office? Old Don. Do you know how many people come in and out of this government office every day? How many officials traveled between Xianyang and south of Huaihan? Not to mention anything else, since I have taken on the safety of the grain road on the front line of Loucang and Huaihan, the baggage of the transfer in Surabaya County alone will be endless. Do you dare to guarantee that those officials who come and go don't know Mr.?
Well, if you can guarantee it, I'll keep him.
It's amazing, everyone hugs and dies together, you can think about it yourself. ”
Liu Kan finished speaking. Go off in a huff.
Tang Li stood in the court stupidly, speechless for a long time.
Kui Che sighed, stepped forward and patted Tang Li, "Old Tang, the proprietor arranged it like this, all for the good of Mr. Cang Li's side. It was stared at by Lao Zhou. The gentleman pretended to be a petty official there, and he would not be noticed by people at all, and he was even safer than in the people.
If you think about it, officials from all over the country will live in the official office when they escort baggage.
Without waiting for them to enter the city, the baggage will be taken over by us, and after the inventory is completed, it will be directly rechecked in the warehouse, so who can be Mr. now?
What you just said is indeed a bit excessive. ”
Tang Li and Chen Yi. He bowed his head in shame......
After Kui Che left, Zhang Cang stepped forward and said softly: "Tang Li, righteousness...... Now, you have to be clear about one thing.
Kurage-sama, you're your superior. As Li said, he is the master of this warehouse.
I was good at making decisions before, and adults may not be able to take it to heart. But he is authoritative. But because of your behavior. And scattered. Whatever your reasons for before, friendship is good. Fame and fortune are not bad. But now, you must remember that your lord is an official of the imperial court, and he is your superior. Even if it's you...... Chen Yi can no longer look at him with the same eyes as before.
I'm now past the age of no confusion, and I'm well-informed.
I have seen many people who were good friends at the beginning, but when they became rich, they couldn't put themselves in the right position, and in the end they parted ways and became strangers. Lord Kura Ling is a man with means and ambitions, and I really don't want you to end up turning against him. ”
Location!
This was something Tang Li had never thought about before.
In his eyes, Liu Kan is very good. But no matter how good it is, it's all his friend, the little brother who was in a mess at the beginning.
Step by step, Liu Kan is changing, and Tang Li is also changing. It's just that at this stage, he hasn't shown up.
After all, Tang Li is now just a hairy boy in his early twenties.
Although it is said that the family has a family history, this experience is not too deep after all. Whether it is compared with Kuaicher, or compared with Cheng Miao, or even Cao Shen who is the same age as him, due to the starting point, Tang Li does not see some things thoroughly. But Zhang Cang saw it.
Nodded lightly to him, and then walked out of the courtroom.
Outside, Cheng Miao was already waiting for him. The two walked side by side and walked towards Gaogang.
On this day, whether it was Tang Li, Liu Kan, or even Chen Yi, they were all very silent.
"Kan, I want to go out for a walk."
Early the next morning, Tang Li found Liu Kan.
"Going out for a walk? Old Tang, do you want to ...... Yesterday I was also angry for a while, you don't have to go to your heart, I don't blame you. Tang Li shook his head and said with a smile: "Of course I know that you don't blame you, and I also know that you are angry not because of me, but because Lord Ren left and was in a bad mood." I want to go out for a walk, and it's not because of yesterday...... I'd like to go out and see it.
Book. I've read enough.
But people, I know too little, I can't compare to Lao Kuai, Lao Cao, and even you. {First Reading}
I told Chen Yi that following his caravan is to increase knowledge and broaden horizons. Earlier, when we were still in Peixian, Ah Qi said about me. He said I had learned enough. But if you talk about the understanding of the hot and cold state of this world, you may not even be able to compare with him.
Five or seven years at most, three or two years at the least, and I'll definitely come back. ”
Liu Kan was silent.
After a while, he stepped forward and hugged Tang Li, "Old Tang, since you have this heart." I won't stop you. You are a scholar, you go on the road alone, and you have to take care of yourself. Holding my amulet, although it won't be of much use, maybe, it will save you some trouble.
Get ready, I'll ask people to go to Pei County, find Wushu and his brother, and we'll leave after we get together.
In short, it is a sentence: there is a confidant in the sea, and the end of the world is like a neighbor. When I want to go home. This warehouse is your home, and you are my brother Liu Kan. ”
If in the past, when Liu Kan said this poem, Tang Li would definitely scold him for being unruly.
But this time, Tang Li didn't say anything.
The next day, Liu Kan finished practicing in the morning. Get ready to run errands.
But when he saw Cao Shen running in a hurry, he said as soon as he saw Liu Kan on the ground: "Ah Kan, Old Tang is gone!" ”
"Gone?"
Liu Kan immediately became anxious, "Didn't you say that you would wait for your brother and them to come?" I was just about to send someone over, why did he leave? He walked alone? ”
Cao Shen said: "No, it came out with Chen Yi." ”
"Chen Yi is also gone? Isn't he still staring at the construction of the Grange here? ”
"No, Chen Yi said that you are in charge of this matter, and he believes that you will not harm him. Also, when Don leaves, let me give this to you. ”
Cao Shen said. handed a package to Liu Kan.
Inside was a scroll of scrolls, and a piece of wood was pressed on it.
Mu Jian is Tang Li's heart to Liu Kan, which roughly means: confidant in the sea, if the end of the world is next to each other. Akan, I made a note of ...... Don't worry, I'll be back, because you and I are brothers. The book is the Great Qin State Captain Wei Wei before retiring. A gift to my grandfather. It is also the work of his life. I will give it to you for the time being, and I will keep it for me...... Keep it. I'm going to give it back when I get back.
Liu Kan closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
Tang Li has already begun to look for his own way......
First Ren Huan, then Tang Li.
One is to care for him and give him a lot of help to the elderly; One was his earliest friend after he came to this world. Now, it's all gone!
Liu Kan felt an inexplicable loneliness, and he was powerless to do anything.
or desperately practicing martial arts, or riding a red rabbit for a walk. At night, he sat alone under the oil lamp and quietly read the wooden tablet.
This wooden tablet is also the "Wei Xuanzi" that has been circulated in later generations.
Compared with Liu Kan's previous life, the scroll of wooden tablets in Liu Kan's hand is more complete.
From military affairs to political affairs, between the lines, the thoughts of the captain are invariably revealed. To be precise, Wei Yanzi is not a simple military book. In later generations, because the Song people included this book in the "Seven Books of the Martial Arts", they regarded this masterpiece as a military book.
"Wei Xuanzi" is a miscellaneous family.
At the same time, it also combines the theories of Confucianism, Mo, name, law, and soldier, forming its unique system. Fundamentally speaking, "Wei Xuanzi" is based on "The Book of Shang Jun", although it involves the art of war, but at the same time, it also covers all aspects of politics and economy, which is quite complex.
There are thirty-one articles in five volumes, which are respectively Heavenly Officials, Military Talks, System Talks, Strategy, and Offensive Power.
Liu Kan read it very carefully and experienced it seriously. In his previous life, he had indeed read this book, but it was the first time he had experienced it so carefully.
And just like that, unconsciously, another more than a month. The second batch of 200 immigrants arrived in Loucang.
There were about 1,100 people at the time of departure, and when they arrived at the building, a total of 1,048 people were counted. With the addition of immigrants, as well as the original residents of Louting, the small building warehouse, there are nearly 3,000 residents in a blink of an eye. The third group of immigrants was 300 households. 1,700 people, from Guanzhong Yiqu expedition, has now gone east to Hanguguan and arrived at Hubcheng. According to the officials who escorted him, he expected to arrive in the building in 40 days.
If this group of immigrants is added, the total number of people in the building warehouse will exceed the 5,000 mark.
By the time the second group arrived, it was past the farming season. But there is no need to worry, Liu Kan allocated the land first. Wait for spring ploughing next year. Then, using this second batch of immigrants, the construction of the warehouse began in earnest. Together with the locals, nearly 1,000 people were busy at the same time.
Some of them joined Xiangqiang to repair the embankment, while others began to build walls and granges.
At the same time, Yingzhuang returned to Xiangxian and transferred 400 soldiers as the foundation of the Loucang Guard. Other words. Liu Kan still had to recruit 400 people.
Liu Kan did not intervene in the matter of recruiting the Loucang guards, but handed it over to the baby.
After a period of depression, he had to pick himself up again.
Tang Li is already looking for his own way...... I can't be left behind either. My path has already been decided, and now I just need to move forward. With the advent of the hot summer, the whole Sihong has become more and more lively.
On this day, Liu Kan took Wang Xin to inspect the rebuilt Diloucang Guard Barracks. Now, the baby irrigation officer worships Loucang Bing Cao and enjoys a hundred stones. What about Lu Shizhi. Through the relationship of the second sister Lu, he served as a herald under the infant account.
The prototype of the Loucang Guard has been completed, and there is no need for Liu Kan to worry about it anymore.
The next thing is how to repair the ditches and divert the water after the autumn harvest. Again, this is no small matter. It must be well planned. Canal-building is a big project, and the cost of land and food is very staggering. Relying solely on the support of the county government, this ditch does not know how to be repaired until the Year of the Monkey. Therefore, Liu Kan must think of other ways to improve the construction project of the warehouse as soon as possible.
The streets inside the building are also planned accordingly.
It is built according to the warp and weft structure, and is a street horizontally, and is called a road vertically, with a total of ten streets and twelve roads, which are neat and tidy. Glance.
There are canals on every street to prevent flooding of the town. The ditch leads directly to the moat, which meets Liu Kan's requirements. However, after all, he is not a graduate of the Department of Civil Engineering, and Liu Kan's plan only stops there. At this time. You also need to ask someone for help.
Liu Kan remembered. That day, Cheng Miao seemed to say who he wanted to recommend, and he seemed to be an expert in this area.
So after inspecting the barracks and the construction site. Rode his horse to the government office.
"Letter, bring Mr. Cheng here...... What has he been up to lately? Could it be that he is still teaching Qi Ji and Xizi to read and write? ”
Wang Xin shook his head, "It doesn't seem to be!"
The gentleman has been a bit mysterious lately, and he has found someone to dig a pond at the Grange construction site...... Before, he had people collect things like bamboo, and I asked him what he was doing. He always smiled mysteriously and didn't tell me. Qi'er and Xizi couldn't answer either. ”
What the hell does this old guy want to do?
Liu Kan instructed Wang Xin to find that Cheng Miao, rode a red rabbit horse, and returned to the official office alone.
As soon as he got off the horse, he saw Sima Xi come forward, "My lord, there are guests coming." ”
"Guest?"
Liu Kan was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "What guest?" Where? ”
"I don't know, anyway, they talk weirdly, I don't understand. Now I am waiting in the court, and there is a woman. ”
Liu Kan frowned and nodded to indicate that he knew.
Let Sima Xi lead the red rabbit horse into the corridor, Liu Kan strode into the official office, and saw five people sitting in the court, one of them was a girl, about the same age as Lu, born with a spirit of water and beauty. The remaining four seem to be generals.
Lu accompanied each other in court, chattering with the girl and talking lively.
Seeing Liu Kan walk in, Lu Xian stopped talking, got up and said, "Ah Kan, this is Sister Qin Man, I've been waiting for you for a long time." The girl also stood up at this time, and the four people behind her got up at the same time.
Liu Kan scratched his head, took two steps forward and said: "Order Liu Kan in the downstairs warehouse, dare to ask the girl ......"
"My name is Qin Man, and I'm from Wu County. Earlier, there was a letter from the former Lord Ren Huan of Surabaya County and his ancestors, recommending that you and my family jointly build the Dongmen Que Salt Farm.
The ancestor of the family was in poor health, so he ordered the little girl to come and consult with the adults. ”
