On November 5, Lin Yuan rewarded this meritorious minister.

In this Nanyang Campaign, the greatest credit is undoubtedly Zhao Yun, Shan Xiongfei, and Xin Qiji.

For these three people, each of them was knighted once and given an official position.

Zhao Yun was promoted from a ranger general to a general of Pingbei, and his official position was promoted from five to five grades, and he was given 100 taels of gold and two jade.

Shan Xiongfei gave a third-class baron, 300 households, and was named the general of Dangkou, and gave 80 taels of gold from the five-grade miscellaneous number;

Xin Qiji gave a third-class baron, 300 households, was named General Yang Wei, and was given 80 taels of gold from the five-grade miscellaneous number;

Zhu You, Zang Gong, Wang Ba, Gai Yan, Geng Chun, and Ma Wu ranked second in merit, and were given third-class barons, 300 households, and awarded the title of General of the Sixth Grade, and 50 taels of gold.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who had meritorious service in breaking the enemy, were awarded the title of General of the Sixth Grade, and were given 50 taels of gold;

Liu Bei, a second-class baron, 400 households, awarded the title of guerrilla general from the fifth grade, and gave 100 taels of gold;

Liu Bei almost did not make an inch of success in this Nanyang Campaign, but the rewards he received have surpassed Shan Xiongfei and Xin Qiji.

In the hearts of the generals, they all have their own scales.

Everyone didn't think that Lin Yuan was unfair, but they rejected Liu Bei one after another.

Among all the people in the audience, only Jia Xu and Wang Anshi saw through this, but they did not break it.

Huan Wen surrendered to sincerity, broke the enemy, gave a third-class baron, awarded the title of general of the sixth grade, and gave 50 taels of gold, which is the same grade as Zhu You, who was the first to surrender to Cheng.

As for Hu Luguang, Cen Peng, and Feng Yi, these all chose to surrender after the war.

For these generals, Lin Yuan only rewarded some gold and silver, and there was no reward.

The meritorious soldiers below, the promotion that should be promoted, and the reward that should be rewarded.

Lin Yuan's rewards and punishments were clear, which made the Nanyang army more cohesive.

After the reward is completed, Nanyang's affairs are basically over.

Jia Xu took over Nanyang County, and also successfully opened up the coal trade route in Pingdingshan, which could be continuously transported to Suizhou.

Lin Yuan became the shopkeeper and cultivated in Nanyang City.

On this day, Wang Anshi came in a hurry and reported: "The lord, Emperor Zhao of the Song Dynasty, sent Zhao Zhen, the king of Pingjiang, to bring the holy decree. ”

Lin Yuan dropped the books, sat up from the recliner, and asked, "Where is Zhao Zhen now?" ”

Wang Anshi said: "In Xiangyang City, I don't dare to leave Xiangyang City for half a step!" ”

Lin Yuan smiled coldly and said, "He is alert, knowing that if he leaves Xiangyang City, he will definitely die!" ”

For Zhao Zhen, Lin Yuan didn't have a good impression at all.

stole his fate from Lin Yuan, and the two became entangled with each other.

Lin Yuan asked, "What is Zhao Gou going to do when he gives the holy decree this time?" ”

Wang Anshi twisted his beard and said, "It's nothing more than one thing, send the lord to conquer the Zhong Chu regime!" ”

Lin Yuan nodded and asked, "Then what should I do?" ”

Wang Anshi continued: "The lord is injured, just call it sick. forced Zhao Gou to use Yue Fei, and when the time comes, we will just follow behind and pick up the leaks. ”

Lin Yuan nodded, he also felt that this method was feasible.

So, Lin Yuan sent someone to Xiangyang City to report that he was injured and couldn't bump, so he asked Zhao Zhen to go to Nanyang City to announce the decree.

When Zhao Zhen heard the news, his face turned green.

Even if he was given ten guts, he would not dare to go to Nanyang City.

Therefore, Zhao Zhen stayed in Xiangyang City, waiting for Lin Yuan to come and receive the order.

When the news reached Lin Yuan's ears, Lin Yuan smiled directly.

"He likes to wait, so let him wait."

Lin Yuan was recuperating from his injuries, and under the introduction of Sima Hui, he met some famous people who lived in seclusion in the mountains.

Before I knew it, another half a month had passed.

On this day, it snowed heavily in Nanyang County.

Under the guidance of Sima Hui, Lin Yuan only led Zhang Hao and Xin Qiji, wearing cotton clothes and mink wool, to the seclusion of the famous mathematician Zu Chongzhi.

A simple three-room bamboo hut with a small fenced courtyard.

The four of them walked through the snow and walked through the mountain trails.

Zu Chongzhi was also very happy to see Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan found that Zu Chongzhi's bamboo house was full of some arithmetic manuscripts and astronomical instruments he invented.

A simple telescope made of glass is sandwiched between bamboo tubes, as well as a globe and a geodynamic instrument......

Lin Yuan was slightly surprised.

After talking with Zu Chongzhi, he learned that his glass piece was inadvertently refined by a Fang Shi.

Lin Yuan was pleasantly surprised.

It seems that the telescope can be developed.

Once there are telescopes, many mediocre generals can compensate for some of the limitations of their vision.

A few people were in Zu Chongzhi's hut, around a small stove, scalding a few pots of good wine, and leisurely enjoying the snow scene.

Here in Zu Chongzhi, he stayed for three days before Lin Yuan left.

Before leaving, Zu Chongzhi agreed to go out.

The arithmetic and celestial phenomena he learned were not suitable for seclusion, and he needed to be dependent on the monarch in order to benefit the people.

Undoubtedly, Lin Yuan is the best choice.

After resigning from Zu Chongzhi, several people did not return to Nanyang City just like this, but continued to follow the mountain road and visit the deep mountains.

Sometimes it's getting late, so they stay at a nearby farmhouse.

After walking for several days, I came to a very tall mountain.

I only heard someone singing on the mountain: watching the chess Ke rotten, logging Ding Ding, and Xu Xing at the mouth of the valley by the clouds. Selling salaries and drinking, laughing wildly and cultivating himself. The path is high in autumn, and the pine roots of the moon pillow are bright in the sky. Recognize the old forest, climb the cliff and cross the ridge, and break the withered vine with an axe. Harvest into a load, in the song market, easy rice three liters. There is no competition, and the price is mediocre. will not be cunning, no honor and disgrace, and will prolong life calmly. Everywhere they meet, they are not immortals, they are Taoists, and they sit quietly and talk about "Yellow Court".

Lin Yuan was slightly frightened when he heard this, and hurriedly went up the mountain with Sima Hui, who was a woodcutter.

Wearing a hat on the head is the first kind of bamboo shoots to be shed. The cloth garment on his body is a veil of cotton. The waist is tied with a ring, which is the silk of the old silkworm's mouth. Stepping on the grass is the coolness of withered shacha. Holding a steel axe in his hand, he is holding a hemp rope. Pull loose and split dead trees, compete for this woodwork energy!

"What a handsome kung fu!" Lin Yuan praised.

Zhang Hao and Xin Qiji, who were on the side, also nodded again and again.

Sima Hui smiled indifferently: "This is just a layman's ear who has learned some fur Taoism." ”

So, the four of them continued to go up the mountain.

At the top of the mountain, a Taoist temple appeared in front of it, which was antique.

The smoke is scattered, and the sun and the moon shake the light. Thousands of old cypresses, ten thousand knots to repair the fence. Strange flowers outside the door, the grass by the bridge is fragrant. The stone cliff is abrupt and mossy, and the hanging wall is high and green and long. The cranes chirp, the clouds and mist steamed, the ape shook its head, and the white deer chirped.

Such a blessed land is truly like a fairyland!

Before Lin Yuan and the four of them approached, the door of the Taoist temple was opened, and out of it came a handsome and heroic white-clothed Taoist boy with a strange appearance.

"King Chu Jiang has come from afar, welcome to the extreme!"

Lin Yuan was slightly surprised and asked, "Do you know I'm coming?" ”

The white-clothed Dao Tong smiled and said, "Three days ago, the family teacher had already calculated that King Chujiang would come today. ”

Lin Yuan turned his head to look at Sima Hui.

Sima Hui shook his head and signaled that he hadn't given advance notice.

If this is the case, then the owner of this Taoist temple really has some ability.

Lin Yuan continued to ask: "Dare to ask the fairy child, what is the name of this view?" ”

The white-clothed Taoist boy replied: "Xuanzhi and Xuan, the door of all wonders!" ”

"Mystic view!" Lin Yuan was slightly surprised, and dared to use the Taoist "Tao Te Ching" mantra as the name, thinking that the master of this Taoist temple had a lot of ability.

So, the four of them followed the white-clothed Taoist boy and walked into the Taoist temple.
