Han Shizhong fell into deep thought. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

At first, Xu Lian said that she wanted to marry him as a concubine, he was extremely surprised, and then he couldn't help but feel a little fluttering.

If you talk about beauty, Xu Lian may not be stunning, but she is also a rare beauty. In the Western Army, when Han Shizhong and other military men faced such beauties, they could only watch from afar, even if they got closer, they would be drunk back by the general.

Speaking of Neixiu, Xu Lian is knowledgeable and gifted, proficient in chess, piano, calligraphy and painting, and more importantly, she is also quite resourceful, and Han Shizhong, who is known as the fifth of Han Wu, can complement each other.

As for women's morality, she was from a humble background and fell into the dust, but Han Shizhong is confident that if she really marries herself, her women's morality in the future will not be lost.

But Han Shizhong couldn't help himself, he thought about the problem, in addition to himself, but also the environment he was in now.

Xu Lian is a Manichaean and has a high status in his religion, she is now a captive of Zhou Quan, and the reason why she is willing to marry Han Shizhong as a concubine is really desperate and wants to take refuge in Han Shizhong. Therefore, if Han Shizhong responds, it means that he will take over her cause and effect, especially that after Zhou Quan forced her to confess, he could send her to the government - that almost means that Xu Lian will be tortured to death in prison, but if Han Shizhong should marry her, Zhou Quan will not be able to hand over her as a key person to the imperial court.

After thinking for a while, Han Shizhong looked at Zhou Quan: "Yanei thinks that I splash Han Wu's one hundred and eighty catties, but it is worth hiding from the court?" ”

Zhou Quan smiled dumbly.

Han Shizhong was obviously tempted, even so, he didn't care about this little thing.

"If you have to pour Han Wu seriously, don't say that you have concealed one or two things from the imperial court, that is, you have killed one or two rulers, what is the big deal?"

Hearing this, Han Shizhong immediately bowed: "Please give this woman to the villain as a wife!" ”

"For a wife?" Zhou Quan was stunned.

"Exactly, if you want to marry her, why should you be a concubine? I Han Wu is in the Western Army, I am not valued by the general, the lord does not give up, and I am willing to serve the lord and die. I have lived for nearly thirty years in this life, and there has never been such a woman who marries with pity, so I am willing to marry as a wife, and I will live up to her favor! ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Quan was moved!

Han Shizhong was depressed and unwilling, he joined the Western Army at the age of eighteen, and now it has been ten years, but he is still just a small officer, that is, an official, and he dares to call him around. Liu Guangshi is just a gentleman in the army, a straw bag, but he can regard Han Shizhong as a slave. Only in the hands of Zhou Quan, on the first day, he gave him thousands of dollars and let him gamble, so he made up his mind and was willing to serve death.

The same is true for this Xu Lian. If you win a soul, he will repay him with sincerity!

"That being the case, Fifth Brother Han, I can't insult you, I'll ask my mother to accept Miss Ah Lian as my daughter, even if I have an extra sister - Fifth Brother, you are my sister-in-law!"

Han Shizhong can be so frank, why can't Zhou Quan be a little more free?

Recognize a righteous sister, first, you can hold Han Shizhong's heart, and second, since they are all brothers and sisters, Ah Lian is embarrassed to hide something, and not leak out all the details of Manichaeism?

Compared with Han Shizhong's true openness, Zhou Quan's freedom is somewhat utilitarian, Rao is so, when he opened his mouth, Xu Lian still burst into tears.

Marrying Han Shizhong as Xu Lian's wife is somewhat unjustifiable, but marrying Zhou Quan's righteous sister is completely different.

She bowed down: "Thank you for making the ...... of the prime minister"

"Thank you, brother." Zhou Quan laughed, tilted his head and glanced at Han Shizhong: "Splash Han Wu, you are blessed, I married a sister, and the dowry is so rich that you can't even think of it...... Girl, do you know perfume...... By the way, you and the teacher are good, you must know. I originally wanted to use the perfume industry as a dowry for my teacher, but now that I have you as my eldest sister, I will take care of you first! In the future, I will tell you that there is not much in a year, but there will always be an income of two or three hundred thousand yuan! ”

As soon as he opened his mouth, he gave Ah Lian an annual income of two or three hundred thousand yuan as a dowry, Han Shizhong panicked: "Lord, this is not ......"

"What do I have to do with my sister! Money is a hero's courage, if you dare to bully her, she will kick you out of the house directly! ”

Han Shizhong is a cheerful person, and when he saw Zhou Quan say this, he no longer refused, but secretly thought in his heart that he had spared his life, and he had to do the things Zhou Quan explained well, so as to live up to his great kindness.

Over there, Ah Lian said: "Given by my brother, I shouldn't have refused, but this is too precious, and it was originally a little lady of the teacher, brother's affection, and the little sister understands ......it."

"Needless to say, I know the temperament of Po Han Wu, although he said that he wanted to quit gambling, but I'm afraid he couldn't quit ......"

When Han Shizhong heard this, he laughed twice. Zhou Quan glared at him, and then said: "Even if he quits, he is extravagant, and he has no overnight wealth in his waist, if you marry him, won't you have to follow him to suffer from poverty?" If that's the case, people will only say that I'm a stingy brother and mean! As for the teacher's side, you don't have to worry, with my means, wouldn't it be difficult to give her a dowry of 100,000 yuan a year? ”

Seeing that he said this, Ah Lian couldn't refuse anymore. She just frowned slightly, and secretly wondered in her heart, she knew what was going on with the little lady, but this brother didn't seem to notice it!

If the master knew that Zhou Quan was going to prepare a dowry for her, he would definitely be very angry.

However, this matter is not in a hurry, Ah Lian already has an idea in her heart, anyway, she wants to meet Zhou's mother, and then mention it to Zhou's mother.

Since the matter had been agreed, Zhou Quan did not ask, but Ah Lian opened his mouth and talked about Manichaeism.

It turned out that Manichaeism believed in the Great God of Light, and after it was introduced to Middle-earth by Persia, it spread widely, and many of them were ambitious, often taking advantage of the dissatisfaction of the lower classes with life, as well as various contradictions in the world, to launch an uprising, trying to establish a "kingdom of light" on the earth. But most of the time, it's just a tool for careerists.

During the Tang Dynasty, the Manichaean saint Chen Shuozhen preached in eastern Zhejiang and established herself as Emperor Wenjia, but was later defeated and tortured to death. However, she would rather suffer all kinds of humiliation and torture than reveal the secrets of Manichaeism, so that many key members of the sect were spared. This incident made the Manichaeans who were originally scattered extremely grateful, so all the tribes and sects regarded Chen Shuo as really benevolent to themselves, and secretly drew shadow figures and offered incense.

However, the appearance of the teacher is quite similar to the painting left by Chen Shuozhen!

This was originally just a coincidence, but Chen Shishi, the son of Fang La's son Xiao Shenggong and the leader of Manichaeism, clashed with the father and son of the Zhou family in Beijing, and once caught the teacher, and at that time felt that the childhood portrait left by her and Chen Shuozhen was very similar. They retreated to eastern Zhejiang, and after talking about it in the church, the military advisor Chen Hoopou had an idea.

Now Manichaeism is scattered all over the world, and there are not ten but six or seven who have established themselves as leaders, and neither of them obeys the other. The person they served, except for the Great Light God, I am afraid that the only one is Chen Shuozhen. Therefore, Chen Hoopou deliberately abducted the teacher, and in the name of Chen Shuozhen's reincarnation, he married Fang Shu, the son of Fang La, the little saint.

If this is the case, with Chen Shuozhen's appeal, he may be able to integrate the Manichaeans everywhere, even if they can't really be twisted into a rope, at least they can form an alliance. Raising things in various places at the same time is enough to make the Great Song Dynasty fall into the smoke everywhere, maybe Fang La's father and son can succeed in the chaos.

"It's really a fantasy!"

Hearing this, Zhou Quan couldn't help but be stunned.

This is because he thinks that an ancient person who has been dead for four or five hundred years cannot have such great influence. But I didn't think that although these high-level Manichaeans may not really take Chen Shuozhen to heart, those low-level believers have been brainwashed by propaganda for a long time, but they are very easy to be instigated.

Manichaeism wanted to do things, lacked money, food, weapons, talent, almost everything. The backbone of his teaching, although ambitious and organizational, lacks strategic vision. However, Chen Hoop Bucket, who is known as a military advisor, has a bit of strategy, and has been planning since he took refuge in Fang La more than ten years ago.

For example, he developed believers in Beijing, and even placed believers in the palace, stealing gold and jade from the palace, preparing to use it as military funds. For another example, when Ah Lian was placed in Xuzhou, he wanted to take refuge in the Xiang family's father and son, preparing to obtain steel from the Xiang family's smelting pit and secretly build weapons for Manichaeism.

Hearing this, Zhou Quan shook his head and laughed twice, after all, it was just "a bit of strategy", and his thoughts were the same as him, he wanted to make money and control steel, but the means were much rougher and clumsier than him.

Without Zhou Quan, Manichaeism's preparations could only be regarded as hasty. But after being hostile to Zhou Quan, Manichaeism targeted him, and some of Zhou Quan's practices gave Chen Hoop a lot of inspiration.

For example, Chen Hoop was personally responsible for the move of Rongcheng, pretending to be a merchant to go to Rongcheng to trade, one is to accumulate military funds for the incident, and the other is to find a way to collude with the Liao State, if they are in trouble, the Liao State will increase troops on the border, and the troops of the imperial court can be dispersed.

"The little sister is guilty, the little sister learned the sweater weaving method from the teacher and the little lady, and passed it on to the ****, now the north and south of the river, the east and west of the river, the sweater industry, mostly owned by Manichaeism. Nu also made a slight calculation that he could earn hundreds of thousands of yuan of income every year as military funds, and also raised a large number of believers. ”

Zhou Quan already knew a little about this matter, and Liang Tingfang came to Beijing to tell him. Thinking of Liang Tingfang, Zhou Quan thought of his sister Liang Hongyu, and he didn't know if it was the Liang Hongyu in the original history - if it was true, Han Shizhong married Xu Lian, I am afraid there would be nothing to do with her.

"Moreover, about the establishment of such a workshop, Chen Junshi secretly infiltrated his brother's workshop many times, and he said that there was a vague art of war in it, and the worker apprentices bound by this method could be pulled out during wartime and trained a little, and they could become soldiers!"

Hearing this, Zhou Quan's expression suddenly became solemn.

The advantages of industrialized society over agricultural society are not only in terms of science and technology and productivity, but also in terms of manpower.

Organized and disciplined workers are more likely to form an army and more disciplined than the peasants who are used to being loose.

Chen hoop bucket can see this, but he is really a talent!

It's good that he died.

"The leaders under the Holy Father, there are also a lot of different opinions on how to act in the future, Chen Junshi died in the Jingshi, how the sect will react, it is really difficult to predict!" Ah Lian said again. (To be continued.) )
