Chapter 12: My Brother (3)

I asked Feng Xian to help me get a map of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty and combine it with the map of China in later generations according to the impression in my mind. The place where we are now is Yangqu County, which was later known as Dingxiang County, the capital of Xinzhou, about 200 kilometers away from Datong. I pointed to the map and said, "In this part of Yanmen County in the north of Bingzhou, there are all kinds of rich mineral deposits, go back brother, you call three or five trustworthy villagers, let's set off overnight to the foot of Heng Mountain." ”

But when he saw him, he wondered: "What are you doing in Hengshan?" ”

I smiled and said, "Mining goes." ”

"Mining?" He was a little surprised when he heard this, but said, "Brother Xian, aren't you crazy, if this matter is caught by the government, you will be killed!" ”

I couldn't help but smile and said, "So what, brother, are you scared?" ”

He couldn't help but be stunned, but said, "It's not that I'm afraid of my brother, it's just how can we do this kind of stealing." ”

I shook my head and said: "This is not theft, these mineral resources should belong to the common people of the world, and those in power have no right to take them for themselves, not to mention that these officials do not give the people a peaceful life, so we have to stand up for the vast number of poor people and get back what originally belonged to everyone." ”

He blinked dumbfounded, but said, "Brother Xian, are you trying to rebel?" ”

I smiled and said, "Otherwise, what does my brother think we should do, whether to continue to sit back and wait for death, or to fall into the grass and plunder the weak, we have to find a way out, right?" ”

He shook his head and said: "It is absolutely impossible to fall into the grass, but if you want a certain family to gather a crowd to rebel, but it will not work, this matter should be discussed again." ”

I said, "Brother, where do you want to go, I didn't let you openly rebel under the banner, you think I will let you learn from Zhang Jiao's goods, and incite the people to gather and rebel everywhere?" I don't have time to do that kind of hurtful thing. ”

As soon as he heard me say this, he was immediately a little puzzled, and asked, "It's not a rebellion, what is it to do?" ”

I replied: "Didn't I say before, if the situation is like today, sooner or later there will be chaos again, we must set up a militia team in advance, first, we can lead everyone to take precautions when the time comes, and second, we can let my brother show his skills and make a reputation, and then I can let the court give you a half-official position." ”

He couldn't help but sigh with relief: "I see, I understand what you mean, but the copper and iron ore veins in the state are now under the control of the government, if I wait to go so rashly, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right?" ”

I said, "I know that the currency you use here is basically copper coins, but this time we are not going to mine copper, but to dig gold." ”

He couldn't help but say, "Oh? I've never heard of a gold vein in Honshu, I don't know where it is? ”

I pointed to a place on the map and said, "If I'm not mistaken, there is a small county town at the foot of Mount Heng called Fanzhi, and next to this county there is a small gold mine, the reserves are relatively scarce, only a few tons." ”

He nodded and said, "It turns out that in such a remote place, no wonder I have never heard of anyone mentioning it, and I didn't expect that the virtuous brother has such a wide range of knowledge and is admired by my brother." ”

I smiled and said, "My brother has won the prize, it's nothing; By the way, we have to lay out a plan before leaving, so as not to go wrong at that time, especially the helper who goes with us, must be a person with a strict mouth. ”

He said: "Don't worry, Brother Xian, I'll leave the matter of finding a helper to me, is it enough for just three or five people?" ”

I nodded and said, "Well, it's too dazzling for people to go too far, and it's easy to arouse the suspicion of others." ”

He nodded and said, "Brother I understand." ”

"By the way, this time we may not be able to come back for three or five days, what excuse will those helpers you find use to deal with their family?" Suddenly, I was a little worried that this matter would be a secret, and if their family found out about it and leaked it, it would definitely cause big trouble.

He said: "This is easy to do, every year at this time, I will go out hunting with my friends in the village, and it is not uncommon for me to go for ten days and a half without returning, and no one will be suspicious." ”

I couldn't help but nod and say, "That's good." ”

He suddenly asked: "It's just that you are still injured, can you make a long journey?" ”

I smiled and said, "Don't worry, you can see that I am good at marksmanship, you should know that I am fine, I am just a little weak, and now I have recovered a lot." ”

He nodded and said, "That's fine, then Brother Wei immediately go and gather helpers to come over, and Brother Xian, you can rest for a while." ”

Then, Bong Xian went out of the room. At this point, I couldn't help but wonder, was this meant to be, or did my arrival replace someone from history? I was amazed and puzzled. But none of that matters, what matters is that history will change because of me.

Perhaps, some people can't help but wonder, if we wantonly change history according to our own preferences, won't it make time and space chaotic? Actually, it's completely overthought to think like this. History has been changed, but it has changed its direction, and what should appear in the future will still appear, which is nothing more than the difference between earlier and later.

In addition, history is not something that anyone can change if they want to, unless you have enough knowledge, wisdom and ability, even if you know which direction the future of history will develop, you can only do it in vain. This is also the main reason why some wise men in history know how to change history, but they are powerless. They have knowledge and wisdom, but they lack power.

Also, it is still unknown whether ordinary people can pass through the wormhole unharmed.

The ancients often said that those who win the hearts of the people win the world. However, in fact, those who have won the world often may not really be able to win the hearts of the people. This may seem ironic, but it is true.

About half an hour later, Bongxian came back with a few people, and I was lying on the bed with my eyes closed. I heard their footsteps, so I sat up, and when I saw that I was not lying down to rest, he said, "Brother Xian can lie down and talk without scruples, for these are all his own people." ”

Those people looked at me, and they all smiled sincerely and said: "Yes, yes, Brother Chenglian, you are not feeling well, just lie down, we are all countrymen, although we know a few words, but we are not so particular." ”

I smiled and said, "Oh, it's fine. ”

At this time, Feng Xian brought a few wooden piers over and said, "Sit down, I'll sit down and discuss slowly." ”

When they were all seated, I asked, "I wonder what the brothers call them?" ”

At this time, a black man replied: "Oh, my name is Li Su, the word Heituo (pronounced "step"), the small character Heiwaer, and my family lives in the west of the village. ”

When I heard him introduce himself, I couldn't help but feel a burst of amusement immediately. Also, the history books will definitely not be written in such detail, after all, they are not big figures in history, and they are not worthy of historians' attention.

Another man who looked at some books and was angry followed and replied: "My name is Qin Yi, my name is Yilu, I was originally from Yunzhong, and I moved here to avoid chaos. ”

Immediately afterwards, a black and fat teenager also said: "My name is Wei Xu, and I am Brother Bu's future brother-in-law, I am nineteen, and I am not old enough to pick up words." ”

At this time, I felt a little puzzled: "Future brother-in-law? ”

Feng Xian explained to me, "Oh, he is the brother of my unmarried wife. ”

I nodded and said, "I see, it seems that my brother still can't let go of your fiancΓ©e." ”

Feng Xian smiled and said: "The so-called one-day husband and wife hundred days, although she has not passed the door, I can't forget it, otherwise I will be said to be a negative man." ”

But I heard Wei Xu suddenly say: "Brother Bu is a good person, and he values affection and righteousness, and my father gave him my Peugeot sister because of this." ”

I nodded and smiled and said, "Yes, it is good to value love and righteousness, and those who can value love and righteousness must also be people who can stick to morality; What is the name of this little brother in the end? ”

In the end, this person was also a teenager, and I only heard him say: "My name is Chen Wei, I am seventeen this year, and I am from Chenjiazhuang." ”

At this time, Feng Xian said again: "Brother Xian, these four people are the most faithful people next to Ping Suli as a brother, don't look at Wei Xu and Chen Wei's age, but they are also very sensible people. ”

I nodded and said, "Well, that's the best, my brother called you, I don't think I have told you what we are going to do, this time we are going to dig a gold mine, and when the time comes, the gold will be divided into two parts, one will be given to you as labor expenses, and the other will be used to recruit troops and horses and cast equipment; Of course, the purpose of our recruitment is not to gather a crowd to cause chaos, but to deal with a war that may break out in the future, so please remember that you must not reveal the whereabouts of our trip to anyone, not even your family, lest you get into trouble. ”

As soon as they heard that they were going to dig for gold, their eyes couldn't help but glow, and they all assured with a serious face: "Brother, please rest assured, we will definitely keep our mouths shut about this matter and never reveal a word to anyone." "That's right, that's right, we're not going to reveal half a word."

I nodded and said, "Very well, you go back at once and prepare the awl, hammer, shovel, and bag, and by the way, bring the bow and arrow for hunting, so that we may hide our eyes, and we will set out before dawn tomorrow." ”

"Okay!" And they departed.

"Wait, be calm, and make people think you're going to hunt, not to dig for gold." Seeing their excited expressions, I couldn't help but hurriedly ask them again, so as not to be seen by others.

"Understood." The people answered and departed.
