Chapter 3 Who wants to harm the Yuan family
Originally, when Yuan Pei was there, Li Hao had to go through him if he wanted to transfer people to do things, and it was very inconvenient to do anything.
Although Li Hao is still young now, he still can't mobilize much family strength, but it's no problem to do something small in the name of the Liang family.
First of all, Li Hao's first goal is to improve his life, after all, people live on food.
To say that the diet of the Han Dynasty is indeed a little simpler than that of the Song Dynasty, after all, the iron-smelting process was not developed at this time, and the output was also low, so even the iron pot had not yet appeared.
Nowadays, cooking utensils are mainly made of ding, kettle, cho, and oven, resulting in the cooking methods of cooks only staying at boiling, roasting, steaming, and pickling.
Even though the Yuan family's cooking skills are good and they can get fresh raw materials in time, there are not many tricks that can be played.
After eating it in the past few years, Li Hao is indeed a little tired of eating, and this time Li Hao plans to get out the pot for stir-frying.
Of course, Li Hao called a few blacksmiths and personally stared at the iron pots that were made.
By the way, I looked at the difference between the iron-smelting technology of the Han Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, and didn't look at Li Hao's personal work as a blacksmith.
But in order to make muskets and artillery, he also stared at the stomach courtyard and later the ordnance supervision workshop for a period of time, which was the place where the most powerful metallurgical craftsmen of the Great Song Dynasty were gathered.
I also know some things about iron-smelting technology, so I can tell the gap at a glance.
However, Li Hao didn't ask anyone to change it at that time, after all, he didn't have this content in his previous experience.
After all, there is still a prototype to explain the iron pot, and there is no generation difference in stir-fry technology, it is just a matter of concept.
But the improvement of iron smelting technology is not so easy, in a vacuum.
If Yuan Pei asks the reason in the future, he can't say that there is a god who has fallen into a dream to tell him, Zi Bu is silent, and the strange power is confused, which is also useful for lake ghosts.
After taking away the iron pot and handing it over to the cook, Li Hao clicked it twice, and then handed it over to him to study by himself.
And the kitchen of the Yuan Mansion did not live up to Li Hao's trust, and soon got the stir-fried vegetables out, after Li Hao tasted it, the level was indeed above the level, and he happily rewarded the kitchen with some five baht money.
However, Liang saw that the food on the table had changed its appearance, so he asked a few questions.
When he learned that it was Li Hao's proposition, he didn't say much, but just mentioned Li Hao: "Your mind should be spent where it should be used, and you shouldn't worry about cooking." ”
In this regard, Li Hao naturally hurriedly agreed, and said that he would not miss his schoolwork.
In the days that followed, Li Hao continued to live his own peaceful life, but he was also very leisurely.
But God didn't seem to be able to see Li Hao so relaxed, and suddenly one day, the guards of the Yuan Mansion came to report, saying that there was a bandit in Beihai, and more than 1,000 people gathered to raid various prefectures and counties.
Now that it has flowed to Jimo County, it is close to Jiaodong County, where Yuan's family is located, and the elders of the clan heard the news and hurriedly came to discuss the matter.
But now the problem comes, although the Yuan family has no shortage of guards, Yuan Pei, the only one in the clan who can lead troops to fight, is not in the mansion and goes to Bailu Mountain.
You must know that the Yuan family is in the struggle against Emperor Yan after all, and the main branch of the Yuan family is only Yuan Pei, the only seedling left, otherwise it would not have been in order to let him stay, so that Yuan Pei's father would have lost his life.
Of course, Yuan Pei did not live up to the expectations of the Yuan family, that is, he took the Yuan family through the troubled times, and chose the right Emperor Wen, the master who laughed to the end.
Therefore, Yuan Pei's prestige in the Yuan family is very high, if Yuan Pei is here, even if the bandits are doubled, the clan elders will not worry in their hearts, which is like being anxious now, and there is no sense of proportion.
Liang looked at this situation, but her face did not change and she did not panic, but she would not be able to lead the troops.
However, she did propose a method: "Elders, although the husband is not here now, the two righteous brothers Zhang and Wang, who assisted the husband in commanding the government soldiers, are still there, so it is better to invite them over to talk about it." ”
After hearing this, the clan elders also agreed, and then the Liang family ordered someone to invite them over.
As a result, before the person left for a while, he heard the next person come back to report, saying that it was Zhang and Wang, who were asking to see each other outside the house.
Liang wondered in his heart, why did this person come so quickly, but there was no movement on his face, but ordered someone to invite them into the mansion quickly.
After the others walked in, they heard one of them say: "Wife, there are thieves near Jiaodong, you already know about this." ”
As soon as they finished speaking, the two saw that the room was full of people, so they hurriedly saluted and greeted each other.
One of these two people is named Zhang Gui and the other is named Wang Ping, who were not very high in the background, and can only be said to be a local wealthy family, but they are extraordinary.
When Emperor Erdi was in the world of cholera, the two were also affected in their hometown, so they had to organize the villagers to protect their hometown.
At that time, it happened that the Yuan family, together with the Liang family and the Qu family, rebelled against the tyranny of the Emperor and took the lands of several counties in Jiaodong and Hedong, so the two found an opportunity to come to the Yuan family.
Yuan Pei also admired the courage of the two, and it happened that the Yuan family was scarce at this time, so he became brothers of the opposite sex with these two people, and was included in the Yuan family, assisting him in leading a number of tribes.
Seeing so many people in the house, Zhang Gui could naturally guess that the news should have been spread.
Inevitably, the two of them had some doubts, thinking that everyone was abandoning their deliberations, so the Liang family replied: "The elders of the clan came here just now, and they told me the news.
I have just sent someone to look for you, and it seems that I have missed the way with you. ”
After listening to Liang's words, Wang Ping said: "It's no wonder, when we came over just now, we saw someone leaving from the direction of the house from a distance.
At the time, I thought there was something going on in the house, but now I think it's someone who came to find us. ”
After saying this, Wang Ping asked: "How do you think the wife should deal with the matter of the bandits?" ”
Liang said: "I am a person in the house, and I have never been in contact with military affairs, how can I have ideas, I still listen to the two righteous brothers." ”
Wang Ping actually understood this, and after glancing at Zhang Gui, he said: "According to the news that came, the bandits who came from Xuzhou this time are about fifteen or six hundred.
Moreover, they had broken through the counties in Xuzhou at the beginning, although they were quickly recovered by the imperial court's soldiers and horses, but they were not weak in battle, and they were afraid that it would be difficult to deal with.
In fact, the best way is to withdraw all the tenants to the various forts, so as to gather the guards, and even the bandits will not be able to break through the forts.
Behind the bandits was the pursuit of the imperial army, and as long as we waited for a few days, the bandits would naturally escape. ”
Hearing this, Li Hao frowned, and then looked at the group of clan elders in the room, and some of them nodded in agreement, and couldn't help but shake their heads slightly.
This is a good way to do this, which may reduce casualties, but it is undoubtedly a self-defeating reputation.
The Yuan family has been in Jiaodong for more than 100 years, and their prestige is high, if they are in the base camp of Jiaodong, they need to show weakness in the face of this group of grass bandits, then what kind of leader will they have in the future.
The atmosphere of the Han Dynasty was different from that of the Song Dynasty, and such cowardly behavior made people know that they were afraid that the people of the Yuan family would be ridiculed in the future.
In the future, I am afraid that the imperial court's conquest and recommendation will bypass the Yuan family, which will cut off the future of the Yuan family and destroy the foundation of the Yuan family.
To be honest, Li Hao didn't have much contact with Zhang Gui and Wang Ping, but he also heard some news from Yuan Pei.
These two people have never been timid and cowardly, and today's sudden words made Li Hao a little suspicious, the true intentions of these two people.
Of course, the people present are not all lake worms, in addition to the reaction of the Liang family, some people among the other clan elders also said: "I'm afraid this move is inappropriate, now is the time of the autumn harvest, if you let the bandits run rampant, miss the farming time, it will be a big deal."
And this is in Jiaodong, if my Yuan family is in a corner of peace, and I can't protect the people, how to explain to Your Majesty, how to explain to the elders of Jiaodong. ”
The Liang family also answered: "Yes, in fact, there are many bandits, but my Yuan family must not be reluctant, since there are imperial soldiers and horses chasing behind, presumably they don't dare to waste too much time."
Can't we convene the tribe and keep it out of Jiaodong? ”
Wang Ping replied: "If you really want to stop it, it's not impossible, it's just that the bandits are running around very fast, and I don't know when they will rush into Jiaodong."
In this hurry, I was afraid that it would be difficult to fully assemble the troops, and I was afraid that there would be some damage if I was not fully prepared, so I thought about sticking to the help. ”
】
Hearing this, Liang had no plans for a while, after all, she couldn't say anything like ignoring the injury.
After seeing the silence in the hall, Li Hao said loudly: "I think that my mother and all the uncles and clan elders are too worried, I believe that the sons and daughters of the Yuan family will not all be greedy for life and afraid of death, otherwise they would not have rebelled against the tyranny of Emperor Yan in the first place."
I heard my father say that when Emperor Er sent a large army to conquer, my father led his sons and daughters in the family to resist layer by layer and was not afraid, could it be that this little bandit was even more terrible than the army of Emperor Er, I don't believe it. ”
Hearing this, the faces of the clan elders present suddenly looked much better, after all, recalling the eventful years, everyone was still proud in their hearts.
In addition to paying attention to the faces of the clan elders, Li Hao was still staring at Zhang Gui and Wang Ping to see how they reacted.
But to Li Hao's disappointment, the faces of these two people have not changed much from beginning to end.
After the discussion, with Li Hao's words as the foundation, it was finally decided to gather the troops and government soldiers to confront the bandits.
Of course, the clan elders meant that it would be best if they could not fight, and the main purpose was to drive them away from Jiaodong.
And the leaders of the troops are naturally Zhang Gui and Wang Ping, but Li Hao is a little worried.
Then he opened his mouth and said to Liang, "Mother, I ask to go with my two uncles this time. ”
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the clan elders were different, and they all spoke out to dissuade them, and it was dangerous to fight against the bandits this time after all.
The Yuan family is not a family of military generals, and now there is no danger of extinction, so there is no need to let Li Hao go out on an adventure.
After all, the descendants of the main branch of the Liang family are these two sons, and they still expect him to be able to spread the branches of the Yuan family.
Therefore, although Li Hao is not as brilliant as Yuan Shen, he cannot afford to lose.
As a mother, Liang was naturally even more worried, and said: "This matter is handled by your two uncles, why do you need a child to be strong." ”
Li Hao replied: "Mother, I am the son-in-law of the Yuan family, and since I have enjoyed the blessings of the Yuan family, I should naturally bear this responsibility."
Now that my father and brother are not here, it should naturally be up to me, and I can't fight for my life outside the Yuan family, but the people of the Yuan family are far away from the peace.
Although I can't take the lead, as long as I can stand behind them, I can let them know that the Yuan family is with them, and I can also let them swear to serve their lives.
And his son's martial arts have also been practiced well over the years, and this self-preservation power is still there. ”
Li Hao's words were high-sounding, but Liang felt that Li Hao's actual meaning was not these, but that something was wrong.
Although over the years, Li Hao thought that he had hidden himself very well, so that Yuan Pei and Yuan Shen didn't notice anything.
But this mother and son are connected, although Liang usually doesn't get along with Li Hao much, but it is precisely because of his cold eyes that he can see many different things, but he doesn't point it out.
This time, seeing that Li Hao had to go with him, Liang decided to believe in his son after being silent for a while, so he agreed.
But he still instructed: "Then you must follow the arrangements of your two uncles next, pay attention to safety, and do not act arbitrarily." ”
Li Hao naturally agreed to this, as for what he would do later, it would depend on the situation.
After that, Zhang Gui and Wang Ping went out to gather the tribes scattered in various villages and came to assemble with weapons.
And Li Hao is also preparing in the house, after all, he is going to go to the battlefield, this weapon and armor are useless or not, he must be prepared first.
Of course, Li Hao was not too anxious, anyway, it would take two days to convene the trilogy, and he had enough time.
And in the middle of this, Li Hao thought that the Liang family would have to find himself again, but he didn't see him.
It wasn't until the day Li Hao was ready to leave that Liang personally walked over with his things in his hands and said, "You have to go with you, do you think there is something wrong with it?" ”
Hearing this, Li Hao was stunned for a moment, but still pretended to be stupid and said: "No, I'm just doing my duty, could it be that my mother found something." ”
Liang Shi heard the words and said: "Forget it, since you don't want to say more, then I won't ask, I believe you have a number in your heart." ”
Then he paused, then pointed to the things he brought, and said: "I brought you a pair of gold silk armor, which is woven with gold wire mixed with fine Shu brocade, which can block sharp weapons and thorns, and you will wear it with you after you leave, don't take it off."
In addition, there is a short sword, which is said to have been made by Ou Yezi back then, which is extremely sharp, and you can also carry it with you for self-defense. ”
After finishing speaking, Liang left directly, ignoring Li Hao's somewhat complicated eyes.
Mainly because of Liang's previous sentence just now, it seems to have a deep meaning, and Li Hao always feels that Liang seems to have seen through himself.
Shaking his head, Li Hao put this down in advance, and waited for himself to come back and then study it.
Putting on the golden silk armor, Li Hao found that it fit quite well, it seems that the Liang family should be changing this thing in the past two days, after all, even if it was originally there, it should be an adult body, not a figure like himself.
