More than a month later, at the beginning of the eighth month of the lunar calendar.

On the second floor of a restaurant on the bank of the Bianhe River, Li Hao and Mo Shiyun sat on the window seats.

From here, you can see the dots of white sails on the water surface of the Bianhe River. The Bianhe River is one of the main rivers that run through the capital from east to west, and the grain from Jiangsu and Zhejiang and the goods from the southeast are transported into the capital from the Bianhe River. The Bianhe River is the traffic lifeline of the capital, the cargo ships are like shuttles, day and night, and they are hot and busy all year round.

Zhang Zeduan's famous painting "Qingming Riverside Picture" has been handed down to later generations, which depicts the scene of the Bianhe River.

Outside the window, you can see a wide stone bridge across the Bianhe River, the pedestrians on the bridge are endless, this is the famous state bridge in Bianjing, standing at the head of the bridge, you can look at the Zhuque Gate in the south, look at the Xuande Building of the Imperial Palace in the north, and the middle is the imperial road, also known as the Heavenly Street.

The story of Yang Zhi selling knives in "Water Margin" happened here, fortunately, there is no chengguan in Bianjing, otherwise Yang Zhi will not talk about selling knives, it is estimated that he will be beaten and disabled by the chengguan after shouting twice along the street.

Li Hao looked at the scenery outside the window, but Mo Shiyun pricked up her ears to listen to the discussion of the four scholars at the next table, because the discussion talked about her brother Mo Fan.

"I heard that this Mo Fan is only in his twenties, in his twenties, and he is about the same as us, and he actually wrote "New Note on the Mean". When I first read this book, I thought he was a great Confucian in the south. ”

"Yes, I can't believe it, it's rare to be able to post an opinion that no one has posted before. Some of the views have subversive surnames, which may seem absurd at first glance, but when you think about it, they are in line with natural reason and human feelings. It is rare to have such an opinion at such a young age. ”

"I heard that some scholars in the DPRK and China also praised the book after reading it."

According to Mo Fan, many of the above are Li Hao's views, and he is just sorting out and processing. So when filling in the author's name, he put Li Hao first. ”

"The person who offered sweet potatoes and corn is also called Li Hao, do you say this is the same person?"

"No, I guess it's just the same name and surname. It is a merchant in Quanzhou who offers sweet potatoes and corn, a businessman, can he still understand four books? Hey? Mo Fan is also from Quanzhou, is it really that Li Gongzi? ”

"Brother, your news is too closed. Of course, this is the same person, you go to the southeast to inquire, who doesn't know the name of the East China Sea business? Who hasn't heard of Li Hao and Li Gongzi? You've always seen other people's photos, and even if you haven't, you've heard of the Tokai Tea House and the Wine Factory. These are Li Gongzi's properties. There is also the East China Sea Treasure Pavilion, and the things sold are only in the sky, and they are rare in the world. ”

"Yes, yes, I have a friend from Hangzhou who also talked about Li Gongzi. This is a generation of aliens, it is said that the stars in the sky go down to earth, the life is strange, since childhood to visit Penglai, abbot, Yingzhou three fairy islands, get the immortal teaching, learn a fairy art, and bring back a lot of immortal utensils. The ones in the Treasure Pavilion are the ones in the Treasure Pavilion, among which the sweet potatoes and corn are also the immortal seeds brought back from Penglai Immortal Island. ”

"Ridiculous, do you believe such a ridiculous thing?"

"What ridiculous? Aren't sweet potatoes and corn real? After more than half a year of trial planting, who doesn't know that the yield of sweet potatoes is so high, it is far beyond the species in the world, if this is not a fairy seed, how can there be such a high yield? Li Gongzi just donated this immortal seed, and he could live countless people during the famine, which is a matter of immeasurable merit. ”

"I didn't say that sweet potatoes and corn were fake, nor did I say that Li Gongzi didn't have much credit, I admit that this is indeed a matter of success. I'm just saying that everything in the fairy biography is to fool people, and the child is silent. ”

"Yes, Zi Bu is strange and confused, and the saint just doesn't talk about it, and he doesn't say that it must not exist. This is the attitude of a saint, and in the final analysis, it is better to believe in what is there than what is not. ”

"You're misinterpreting the meaning of the saint."

The scholars were arguing, and another scholar came up to him at the top of the stairs. The four people at this table quickly stood up.

"Brother Zhang, you're finally here! We're waiting for you to enforce the liquor order. If you're late, punish yourself with a drink. ”

The visitor hurriedly said: "Do you still have a leisure and leisure drinking order?" I got the news that the Jin soldiers went south and attacked the Great Song border in two ways. ”

"What?! Are you sure? ”

"It's true, yesterday it was said that above the court, the ministers were discussing this matter."

When several people at the next table heard the shocking news, they also came over to inquire.

It seems that within two or three days, the news of the Jin soldiers' southward movement will spread throughout Bianjing. Historically, the Jin soldiers had to go south more than three years late, not now, but the news of the Jin soldiers going south also made the court panic.

Song Huizong in the history of the main world was frightened after learning that the Jin soldiers were going south, and did not dare to continue to be the emperor to lead the resistance, so he hurriedly passed the throne to the crown prince Zhao Huan and fled south by himself. is so scared that he doesn't even dare to sit on the throne, although there are many faint kings in history, but it is really difficult to find another one who is so timid and cowardly.

Zhao Huan cried and cried, he was put on the throne by his father and became the Song Qinzong in history. It is said that he really cried and fainted, and was put on the throne in a coma, which is probably unique in history. This is really "a dog father without a tiger son", and both father and son are all the way.

Li Hao said to Mo Shiyun: "Let's go, I'll send you back to Quanzhou, Bianliang will be very chaotic in the next two days." ”

"Well, you...... Take care of everything. Mo Shiyun can guess a lot of things, because Li Hao does not hide a lot of things from her, she knows that Li Jiajun may have a big action in the next few days, "Don't worry, a small matter will be settled soon." Don't be busy for too long, I'll go to Egypt with you to see the pyramids when I'm free. ”

"Egyptian pyramids? That's where it came from. ”

Li Hao smiled: "One of the Seven Wonders of the World, you will know it then." ”

The two left Bianliang City, returned to Quwu's manor, and returned to Quanzhou by flying car. After returning to Qingying Bay, Li Hao immediately began a military operation codenamed "Heavenly Change". Four cargo flying cars shuttled back and forth, transporting all the more than 1,000 soldiers of the Li Jiajun to the previously selected valley.

All kinds of logistical materials were also transported to Kaifeng one after another, some unloaded in the valley, and some unloaded in the manor of Quwu of the Intelligence Department.

The soldiers set up camp in the remote valley and set up large tents as planned. After the firewood, rice, oil and salt were transported, the cooks began to cook rice.

That night, the battalion officer summoned his company commander and platoon commander to give a detailed account of the military operation. The soldiers have long known about the "big operation" and have conducted a number of exercises with specific surnames.

Although the soldiers were mentally prepared, they were quite surprised to learn that this operation was a "coup d'état" and a "rebellion". However, after a long period of training, they will unconditionally obey the orders of their superiors, which is already an almost instinctive reaction.

After the shock, the soldiers gradually accepted it, and even many soldiers became enthusiastic about it. Isn't it just rebellion? With an assault rifle in hand, which army is the opponent of the Li Jiajun? What's more, who is Li Gongzi? The person who can take everyone to fly to the sky, flying from Quanzhou to Kaifeng is only a meal time, this is a living immortal, how can he fail?

Li Gongzi has always been generous and helped him snatch the throne, can he not reward him heavily? Maybe you can make a great contribution in this battle and be a general or something, then this life will be infinitely beautiful.

The worst is that if you make a meritorious service, your military rank can also be improved. For the rank of sergeant and above, there is a monthly military allowance; The rank of second lieutenant and above can receive a generous pension, and the whole family will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives. The promotion of military ranks can get the most tangible benefits.

Soldiers have long been eager to fight a war, and it is difficult to rise to a military rank if they do not rely on fighting for meritorious service, and it is difficult to promote their ranks only by relying on the points of their usual training, and they do not know how long it will take to be promoted to one level.

That night, the tent barracks were loose outside and tight inside, Li Hao asked the iron sheet to turn on the scanning, if there were soldiers who escaped from the barracks, the iron sheet would be able to know at the first time.

There was no incident all night, and even if they knew that they were going to rebel, there was not a single deserter, which in addition to instilling loyalty in the soldiers in peacetime, was largely due to strict military regulations. It's a disciplined team.

Early the next morning, the soldiers finished their morning exercises, and after breakfast, they all assembled.

More than 1,300 people stood in several neat squares, and the soldiers were in high spirits, standing in a standard military posture, one by one with their chests and abdomen tucked, and their waists straight.

"Look to the right, look forward, stand upright, take a break, stand upright." Jiang Wulang tidied up the queue, trotted in front of Li Hao, and saluted, "Report to the head of the regiment, all the people have been assembled, there should be 1,366 people, but there are 1,366 people, no leave, no absence." ”

Li Hao returned a military salute, came to the front of the team with a megaphone, turned on the megaphone, and said loudly: "Take a break!" The emperor takes turns to do it, and tomorrow he will come to my house. Help me lay down this piece of flowers, I Li will not treat all the brothers. After the end of this battle, each person was given five times in cash first, and then the meritorious deeds were rewarded.

"If they are injured in battle, they shall be paid a pension according to the standard of the army; Those who died in the battle were raised by the funds of the Tokai Merchant Group for the rest of their lives.

"All teams that have completed their tasks will be promoted by one level in rank, and those who have performed well in battle will be promoted according to the size of their merits, and the whole army and their families will be notified for commendation, and the Medal of Loyalty and Courage will be issued. Those who have made third-class meritorious service will be rewarded with 50 strokes; Those who have made second-class meritorious service will be rewarded with 200 yuan and 10 acres of fertile land; Those who have made a first-class meritorious service will be rewarded with a thousand yuan and 30 acres of fertile land. The rank of second lieutenant and above is given the rank of official, which is equivalent to the nine-rank military general of the imperial court. When the rank is upgraded, the rank will also be adjusted accordingly.

"I'm looking forward to your performance. Well done, one day you can take the stage to pay homage to the generals and command the three armies; You can glorify your ancestors and seal your wife and son. The ambition of the husband in his life is today!

"That's it, disband!" These soldiers are not well-read and reasonable people like Liu Zhongting, so there is no need to talk about ideals and beliefs, and only by talking about the vital interests of the soldiers can they arouse their morale.

There was warm applause at the scene, and the soldiers and officers were very excited.

The soldiers thought in their hearts that the first-class merit, a thousand yuan and thirty acres of land, if they made a first-class merit, they would not have to worry about it in this life.

The officers thought that the military rank could be given to the official, that they could become an upright official of the imperial court, and that they might really be able to become a general. Born from the grassroots, if you can really get to that point, what do you want in this life?
