Chapter 135 Nie Yizhong

This head has just been busy, and Feng Dao has come to Li Cunhuan again.

"Lord, there are not many cotton seeds, and those rich people just use cotton as an ornamental object, and they don't plant much." Feng Dao looked at Li Cunhuan with an innocent expression.

Li Cunhuan has a headache again, the cotton seeds have to go to Guanzhong, maybe they have to go to Shazhou, Anxi, and other areas further west. But who to call for this?

Feng Dao naturally knew Li Cunhuan's thoughts, and after a moment of silence, he said: "I heard that there is a businessman in the west of the city, who is not very old, twenty-five or sixteen, but he likes to take risks very much, sometimes his family is rich, and sometimes he is poor. However, because of his generosity, he has made a lot of friends, and every time he is poor, he also gets help from others. I think if the lord wants cotton seeds, he can let this person go to Guanzhong to buy them. ”

"It's okay to do this, you go and arrange it!" Li Cunhuan took a long breath when he heard this, nodded, and spoke.

After a while, Li Cunhuan saw that Feng Dao didn't mean to move his steps, and asked other big questions, and couldn't help but ask with a headache: "What else is there besides this cotton matter?" ”

Feng Dao nodded a little hesitantly, and said with a little nervousness: "Xiaguan just met a friend, but he is penniless, and Xiaguan wants to let the lord take him in!" ”

"Oh? What kind of friend actually asked Feng Dao to come and apply for a job from me in person? Li Cunhuan looked at Feng Dao, who was nervous below, with some curiosity.

Feng Dao couldn't help but show a wry smile, and said: "My friend is good at everything, but his surname is too straight, although he was born in Jinshi, he is already fifty and nine, but he is just a Huayin Weizhishi. ”

"Oh!?" Li Cunhuan was even more curious, Jinshi's background was not a simple character, and in the Tang Dynasty, there were often words circulating that "thirty old Ming Jing, fifty young Jinshi". The number of Jinshi in each imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty is as many as twenty or thirty, and as few as seven or eight.

In terms of the population base of the Tang Dynasty, this imperial examination system is simply as difficult as a fish jumping into the dragon gate. And Jinshi has always been the favorite staff of those festival envoys. Even the famous Han Yu also served as a staff member of the Jiedu envoy. So Li Cunhuan heard that a jinshi couldn't find a job, and he actually asked Feng Dao to come and beg him, what kind of jinshi is this?

Feng Dao smiled bitterly, with a sad face, and said, "Maybe the lord has also heard his name." ”

"Don't sell it, who the hell is it?" Li Cunhuan, who was aroused by curiosity, couldn't wait.

"Nie Yizhong!" Feng Dao said helplessly.

"Who?" Li Cunhuan blinked, and asked a little blankly, "Is there anything special about him?" ”

Feng Dao was even more surprised, looked at Li Cunhuan carefully, and saw that Li Cunhuan was not pretending to be stupid, smiled bitterly, and said: "This is a great poet in Guanzhong, I will recite one of his poems to the lord!" Lord, you probably know him! ”

"The father ploughs the fields in the plains, and the sons go down to the mountains and the wilderness."

"In June, He Weixiu, the official family has repaired the warehouse."

"The hoe said that in the afternoon, the sweat dripped into the soil."

"Whoever reads Chinese food on the plate is hard work."

Li Cunhuan nodded when he heard this, and said with some excitement: "Ah! It turns out that this poem was actually written by him! What a man who has mercy on the people! ”

Feng Dao nodded and said: "Although Mr. Nie was born as a Jinshi, he was born poor and had a noble style, such as his "Gongzi Xing", which satirized the powerful son of Chang'an at that time and called Hengbahu, so he was removed from the official body!" ”

Li Cunhuan nodded when he heard this, he didn't know anything else, 'Whoever reads Chinese food on the plate, every grain is hard' just such a sentence has already explained Nie Yizhong's surname. Such a poem cannot be written without a certain realm. "Bring him tomorrow!"

Nie Yizhong is a very old man, although he is fifty-nine years old, if someone says that he is seventy years old, some people will believe him. But he has a very unique temperament, or style. He wore seven or eight patches of ragged linen clothes, but his clothes were white from washing, his hair was tied with a broken branch that he didn't know where to break as a hairpin, and he wore a pair of broken straw sandals that had been worn for some years. Although the clothes are shabby, Nie Yizhong doesn't think about it, his waist stands straight, and he doesn't know that he is from a military background, to put it simply, Nie Yizhong is a very stylish person.

Li Cunhuan's first impression of Nie Yizhong was very good, in fact, Li Cunhuan also respected a literati like Nie Yizhong very much, they pay attention to ideology and culture, which is what this era of moral decline needs most.

"Sir, please be seated!" Li Cunhuan stretched out his hand, made a gesture of please, and said with a bit of respect.

"Thank you, General!" Nie Yizhong was neither arrogant nor humble, sitting on the chair on one side, and as soon as he sat down, he arched his hand to Li Cunhuan and said: "The old man didn't come to see the general today because he wanted any official position, but I came to advise the general for the people of Lulong!" ”

Li Cunhuan couldn't help but be a little curious, others are eager to get an official body from me, the purpose of your coming is actually to admonish?

Nie Yizhong ignored Li Cunhuan's curiosity, and just opened his mouth to advise: "I came to Lulong, and I heard that the general has implemented a lot of good governance, such as dividing the land and increasing taxes on the big landlords!" Both rich and poor, but I want to go outside with the general today! ”

Li Cunhuan suddenly understood what Nie Yizhong meant, he pondered for a moment, and said, "Mr. wants me to pay a private visit to Weifu?" ”

Nie Yizhong half-closed his eyes and answered: "The general is wise! And I also believe that the general is dedicated to the people, but in the past, Wang Mang didn't serve the people? But in the end, he fell into the reputation of a tyrant! Why is that? ”

Wang Mang was a usurper in the late Western Han Dynasty and established a short-lived dynasty. He had a very good reputation before the usurpation, and immediately after the usurpation he issued some new policies that would benefit the people. However, there are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom. These new policies, which were originally beneficial to the people, eventually turned into tyranny, resulting in large-scale peasant uprisings, and Wang Mang's regime was eventually replaced by the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Li Cunhuan looked at Nie Yizhong's indifferent eyes, Li Cunhuan didn't know why he suddenly remembered someone, Wei Zheng!

Lu Long has so many civil ministers and military generals, he doesn't dare to say anything else, Li Cunhuan asked himself that there are a lot of capable people under him, Fu Cunxian, Zhou Dewei, Yang Shihou, Yelu Abaoji, Gao Siji, these people are placed in other places, that is not a well-known figure. Feng Dao, Han Mengyin, Han Yanhui, and the eldest grandson Chengliang, these people are all capable officials. However, no one said this about himself, and Li Cunhuan suddenly found himself in a feeling of being in a high place.

Li Cunhuan nodded and said, "I believe Mr. Nie's words!" Someone is here to prepare clothes! ”
