Chapter 41 Passing through the past and the present
Early the next morning, before Lu Shenyan and He Libo went out to inquire about this "sloppy Zhang", this sloppy Zhang actually came to the door by himself
Wang next to the usual morning is to tie the horse step, move the muscles and bones, at that time he was still pondering, I don't know how sloppy this sloppy Zhang is, hearing this sloppy Zhang to the door, the horse step is not tied up, straight to the living room
He thought that since this sloppy Zhang was named sloppy, he must not be clean, and he was even ready to come in and see a beggar covered in dirt, who knows
This so-called sloppy man is actually an old man with a fairy wind.
I saw that he was sixty or seventy years old, with white hair, a thin but ruddy face, kind eyebrows, bright eyes, a straight body, and a light gray robe without a little wrinkles, which couldn't help but remind Wang of Jiang Ziya in film and television dramas. This is sloppy, if you change into a robe, wouldn't it be a fairy Zhang.
The two met the ceremony, and this sloppy Zhang reported to his family: "The old man, surnamed Zhang Mingyi, is nicknamed "Sloppy Zhang" is an old friend of Lord Bao. I heard that the son was coming, and I came to pay a visit. ”
When Wang heard his voice, he was full of confidence and looked like a sixty or seventy-year-old family, and he was so modest, so he let him sit down for tea and asked: "Xiao Ke is indeed looking for Mr., I don't know how Mr. found Xiao Ke first." ”
Sloppy Zhang told the reason to the king. During the conversation between the two, Wang Bi learned that the name of "sloppy Zhang" was given by Master Bao.
Because Zhang Yi was a wealthy family in this county more than ten years ago, he had some savings in business for many years, and planned to live in Chenzhou in his old age. In the second year of Huangyou, it rained heavily for several days, and the areas around Yu and Bo were full of rivers, and many refugees became beggars.
Before Mr. Bao came to Chenzhou to release grain, Zhang Yi took out all the surplus grain from his house, not to mention that he also personally rescued the refugees, some refugees who starved to death, he helped bury them, and also organized beggar refugees to save themselves. I can't take care of it when I come and go, and I don't have time to deal with it, and I mix with those people every day.
Bao Zheng came to visit in civilian clothes, got acquainted with Zhang Yi, and saw that he was with beggars and refugees all day long, and had no time to take care of himself. jokingly called him sloppy Zhang, and thought it became a nickname, but everyone knew that he was sloppy, but no one knew Zhang Yi. Later, Lord Bao Chen Zhou released grain and relieved the people.
After the floods, some people returned to their hometowns to continue farming and business reconstruction. There are also some old, weak, sick and disabled people who make a living by begging, Zhang Yi still helps, and at the same time the old ones are raised, the dead are buried, and the young ones are slightly increased. Slowly, everyone called him sloppy. Later, the misinformation turned out to be the "head of the group".
And those beggars are also considered to be grateful for their kindness, and always give him some gifts, at first he did not accept them, but later saw that everyone was sincere, so he simply managed and placed them in a unified manner, and this beggar seemed to be a person with a "family". Zhang Yi set some rules for them, such as not being able to do illegal acts of robbing homes and houses; It is necessary to beg in a specific area or for a specific target in a standard garment, and to be bound by the obligations of the group, etc.
Wang Auditor's head is big, this "group head" he knows that the Song and Yuan Dynasty novel "Jin Yu Slave Stick Beats Bo Qinglang" describes the beggar group leader Jin Boss in Hangzhou City, the pole in his hand is the mark of the leader, and the one who rules the whole city is called Huazi, that is the earliest beggar gang.
Unexpectedly, if this Zhang Yi really held a green stick in his hand, Wang would definitely fall to his knees, and asked Zhang Yi to teach the dog-beating stick method or the eighteen palms of the dragon or something.
No wonder along the way, Zhang Yi actually found himself first, which can be attributed to talking to beggars everywhere on the road and rewarding. But what is the matter with such a great god looking for the king?
Wang asked Zhang Yi with doubts, and Zhang Yi explained that he had always wanted to visit Master Bao, but because he inadvertently became the "head of the group", he never had time to visit. I heard that Wang was looking for him, and he knew that he was Bao Zheng's righteous son, and he came in person.
As for the second, because there are robbers in Longhu in recent years, some young disciples in the beggar gang can't stand the suffering, so they join the robber business. Zhang Yizi will help.
Speaking of which, Zhang Yi asked Wang Bei, do you have any plans for this crackdown on bandits?
When Wang saw Zhang Yi ask this, a thought flashed in his heart, whether this Zhang Yi was true or false was not yet clear, but he saw that Zhang Yi and himself always looked at each other, their eyes were sincere, and what they said did not seem to be made up, and they had more love for the beggar disciples.
He said bluntly that this time he planned to find out the situation of the robbers first, so that he knew himself and his opponent, and secondly, he would catch the evidence of the collusion of officials and bandits, and rectify the county government. The third is that I heard that Zhang Yi is good at swordsmanship and wants to learn swordsmanship.
Zhang Yi said with a smile after listening: "There is no need to apprentice, I am in business is to inherit the family business, wandering around all the year round, the initial learning is to strengthen the body and have a good physique, and then there is to catch up with the chaos of the war can defend yourself, the kung fu of the three-legged cat, the virtuous nephew wants to learn to teach you is it." What's more, the virtuous nephew also did a great thing for the firm. ”
Wang was puzzled, Zhang Yi said, in the past half a year, official shops have been built in various places one after another, providing great convenience for businessmen. Many businessmen admired the king. When the king heard this, he was overjoyed: for the first time, he truly realized the benefits of modern people returning to ancient times. Although it is not said to do whatever you want, it is still very beneficial to the development and progress of society.
But then again, if he is not the son of Wang Anshi or the son of Bao Zhengyi, he will be appreciated by Emperor Renzong. I don't know when the "prototype" of the modern bank appeared.
This morning was full of surprises, Zhang Yi's appearance brought a lot of good news to Wang Pan, but the next conversation made Wang Pan ponder.
Zhang Yi talked about the situation of the robbers and told Wang that the leader of the robbers was the son of Nong Zhigao, who was named Nan Jifeng. Wang Bi was even more happy in his heart, if he caught this person, wouldn't it be a great achievement.
The king said: "If Mr. helps the little nephew capture this person, Xiao Ke will definitely ask the court for a reward for Mr." ”
Zhang Yi shook his head, his expression became serious, and he said: "It is said that Nong Zhigao rebelled, but in the eyes of the old man, it is indeed very wronged. This Nong Zhigao has a very high reputation in Guangyuan Prefecture, and he is a hero!"
Wang was shocked, surprised why Zhang Yi said this, and said it bluntly, but when he thought about it, there was freedom of speech in the court of Renzong, and the people expressed their opinions, and it was not too much to listen to the old man's thoughts. So he asked Zhang Yi for advice.
Zhang Yi said: "Nong Zhigao's hereditary father is the chief of Guangyuan Prefecture, unfortunately he fell into trouble in Jiaozhi, four years later, he rebelled, established the country and became the king, self-protected territory, supported the Song Dynasty, repeatedly asked for internal attachment, but was betrayed by the traitors of the Song court, poor and homeless, in a desperate situation, had to break the cauldron and sink the boat" Speaking of this, Zhang Yi stopped, thoughtful.
Wang Pan knew that this Jiaozhi was now Vietnam, and when he heard these words, he was at a loss, and he couldn't imagine that Nong Zhigao's anti-Song Dynasty had such a reason. He thinks that he is a person who admires heroes, Di Qing is a hero, isn't Nong Zhigao who fought against Vietnam a hero? According to Wang Fang's own point of view, this Di Qing is a hero of the Song Dynasty, and this Nong Zhigao is indeed a hero of the nation.
And now, I want to exterminate the descendants of national heroes, next to the king, next to the king, what kind of person do you want to be when you return to the Song Dynasty?
The king slapped the armrest of the chair and stood up, this traitor really deserves to be killed! He gritted his teeth and said these words resentfully.
Which Zhang Yi shook his head, "Taizu has been added from the yellow robe, and he is the most jealous of the military generals who support the army and respect themselves, this Nong Zhigao and Lord Di Qing are actually both self-harming this "martial arts" and the voice of the people."
The king said: "This emperor is so small-scale peasant consciousness!! What a t.md retarded"
When Wang heard what happened to Nong Zhigao, he was even more indignant, he was even more indignant when he fought against such a great hero as Nong Zhigao in Vietnam, and he was not appeased and even sent his mentor to fight. The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, and I couldn't help but blurt it out!
Zhang Yi didn't understand what he was saying. But when he saw that he was angry, he turned from his contemplation and looked at the king. This young man is calm, wise, and definitely not a treacherous person, and it was rumored from the outside world that he was killed by Bao Diqing, and he was already a little optimistic about him.
So he continued: "The life of the people on the border is very different from the capital where you are. The emperor is far away, and the local officials are very heavy in taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and Nong Zhi is highly energetic, and he is also a supporter of the people. ”
Wang Bi didn't understand what he was scolding, so he respectfully gave Zhang Yi a deep look and said: "Don't hide it, Mr., Xiao Ke originally planned to use the name of Zhao'an to exterminate the bandits." But listening to Mr. 's words, the younger generation was at a loss, so please ask Mr. for advice. ”
Zhang Yi saw that Wang was a little bit of true temperament, and he also praised Bao Zheng's eyesight to accept this righteous son. Zhang Yi got up and helped Wang Bian, he looked at Wang Bian's eyebrows, his appearance was dignified, he had been wandering the rivers and lakes for many years by himself, and he was this age. You can't be wrong to look at people, this child's future is limitless.
So he said: "I have a close friendship with Bao Zheng, and I will help you." There are two paths in front of you."
First: take the road of Di Qing
Second: take the road of Nong Zhigao.
When the king heard this, he frowned, I am respectful to this old gentleman, how can he point me out a dead end. "Is there no other way?" ”
Zhang Yi laughed: "You and I won't be able to wear the art of ancient and modern!" ”
Wang's eyes lit up, countless thoughts flashed in his mind, and he hurriedly asked, what did Mr. say was this technique of piercing the past and the present?
Zhang Yi smiled: "When I was young, I was like you, I loved to inquire everywhere I went, which is also a rumor." He saw that the king's interest in listening was strong, so he explained: "There is a legend in the land of Yanyun: there are two sacred stones, which are similar to Taiji Yin and Yang, one can be used to pierce the ancients, and the other can be used to get these two stones together in an unknown way, and you can go anywhere you want." ”
Wang Bei's heart was shocked, didn't he just have this black crystal stone? But he said: "Yes, whoever has this stone can go back to that time and persuade the emperor." ”
Zhang Yi looked at him, "It's naturally good to be able to get it, if you can't get two stones, it is said that those who only have one stone will have to wait until they die, and the stone will disappear with others." Of course, this is all a legend, no one has seen it with their own eyes, but the old man doesn't understand, this is easy to do, but this more modern stone, until a few generations later, the age of the two stones is worse and farther, and how can two stones get together? ”
Wang was also shocked when he was asked, but he immediately patted his head and said, "Xiao Ke thought of it~~"
