Volume 3 The Valley of Wu Wei Chapter 84 Weigh the pros and cons
Everyone was even more surprised when they heard it, Mr. Su could have such insight, after all, he was a scholar, and this Fan Cheng, who was born as a butcher, actually said that it was better than Mr. Su.
Hou Huaigu nodded at this time, stroked his two beards and said: "If you don't take it, you will be blamed for it!" Childe, what Mr. Su and Mr. Fan said is so good, now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you have to think carefully!"
Elder Long couldn't help but nod, "What everyone said is good! Sect Inheritance, now we are offending more and more people, each one is stronger than the other, how can we do without our own power! We can only continue to grow our own strength, so that they don't dare to do anything to us anymore." Otherwise, no single person would be able to guard against enemies like the Academy and Wuwei Valley every day!"
Doctor Feng finally said: "Childe, you just don't think about yourself, you also have to think about the people who are suffering now! I have been walking the rivers and lakes everywhere to practice medicine and collect medicine all these years, and I have some insight, and the Great Zhou has already turned from prosperity to decline. Officials are corrupt, the court is incompetent, local tyrants and powerful stand side by side, the magnates embezzle the land, the people are displaced, the strong can only rely on the strong, and the old and weak can only fend for themselves, this is the way to take chaos!
In addition, on the way, I also heard several senior brothers say that the south and north sides of the Great Zhou are not peaceful. A group of foreigners came from the Sanguang area in the south, and they are now desperately trying to annex the Jianghu sect there. Before I came to Wuwei Valley, I had already annexed all the Jianghu sects in Guangdong Province and Guangnan Province, and I don't know what they want to do, but it will definitely not be a good thing.
And the north is even more troublesome, they have a 'steppe eagle' there, called the rabble, he has unified the eastern half of the grassland, there are more than 100,000 people under his command, and now the strength is still growing. If they take advantage of the chaos to attack us and break through the northern frontier, then it will be a big trouble.
Based on the experience of previous dynasties, we can only end the war as soon as possible, and gather the strength of the whole country to defend them beyond the Great Wall before he unifies the entire steppe. Otherwise, the Huaxia clan is in danger of losing the country and extinction of the species! But at present, these powerful people in the country do not have such ability and appeal, so for the survival of the Huaxia clan, you must also think about it!"
Liu Jizu has studied history in both his previous life and this life, although this life is somewhat different from his previous life, but the situation is similar. He knew that the northern nomadic fishing and hunting peoples had always been a nightmare for the Central Plains Dynasty, and the integration of the Chinese people and the northern nomadic fishing and hunting peoples had continued until modern times. Although the border troubles in the north were alleviated by the construction of the Great Wall fortress, they were not fundamentally solved until the emergence of modern weapons and equipment, which caused them to lose their cavalry and archery superiority.
But before that, every major border trouble brought endless nightmares to the people of the Central Plains. Liu Jizu thought to himself that he had almost been killed many times not long ago, did he have this ability? How could these people trust him so much, and he was still on the run! But what they said seemed to have some truth.
Especially what Elder Long said, he is now alone, and Guangle Zhi Academy can't cope with it, not to mention the power of the Four Evils Family in the imperial court, he can only flee. Now I have to add a Wuwei Valley that is on a par with the Academy, and the assassination technique of the Lezhi Academy and the poison of the Wuwei Valley are all impossible to prevent!
In addition, after finding the ancestor, if the Yang Shengwu that Mr. Su said is the ancestor, maybe the king of Chu will have to be added, as well as the master's enemies in Zhige City. None of these people are easy to deal with, how can they be opponents on their own!
So he groaned for a while and said, "What you said is very reasonable, let me think about it!" After saying that, he returned to the team and finally thought about it carefully. When the team reached midnight, they came to a dangerous area, where Hou Huaigu's people had cut down a lot of trees on the side of the road and piled them up.
Liu Jizu was very satisfied when he saw it, and after the team had passed, he came to Doctor Feng and asked him to arrange for his six medical warriors to go to the front to prepare the same.
Doctor Feng knew that this was Liu Jizu's thoughtfulness, and he couldn't leave everything to Hou Huaigu and them, which would be unfair, so he hurriedly nodded in agreement and ordered a few disciples on horseback to go.
Liu Jizu asked Mr. Su and Fan Butcher to call a lot of people to come to Hou Huaigu to help, they cut down some more branches, and after the cars passed, they quickly sealed the intersection.
There are many people to do things, and the trees will soon pile up like a hill, and Liu Jizu will arrange for people to light a fire, and everyone will continue to go on the road.
In this way, they stopped and walked all night, and according to the situation at the different passes, some places were set on fire, some places were barried with tree trunks, and in other places they were barried with stones.
Hou Huaigu originally wanted to burn the bridge, but he was scolded by Doctor Feng, and Liu Jizu also felt that this was a bit excessive, mainly because it would affect the lives of the local people, so Hou Huaigu gave up.
In this way, they set up roadblocks as they walked, and Liu Jizu stopped the convoy at dawn, and he first arranged five martial arts guards at each end of the team, and then let everyone have a good rest.
They first unloaded the carts and saddles for the mules and horses, and prepared water and fodder, without which they could not travel. The rest of the people were busy packing up and preparing breakfast.
Liu Jizu had a chance to stop at this time and take a closer look at the situation of his team, he looked at this team of old and young, women and children, and had a lot of thoughts. Since listening to the persuasive words of the crowd last night, he has been weighing it all night long, and finally made up his mind.
He thought that since he had brought out so many people who trusted him, he had to take responsibility, and at least fulfill his promise to bring them to safety. As for the rest of the story, let's talk about it later, because plans don't always change quickly!
After making up his mind, he no longer hesitated and began to carefully consider how to organize and arrange so many people, after all, it was the first time for him to lead a team of several hundred people. In order to find out the specific situation of his current team, he used this rare spare time to find Long Yunfei, Wu Lun, Hou Huaigu, Feng Dingkun, Su Mengqi and Fan Chengdu to sit in a circle and learn more about them.
They now have a total of 387 people, including 6 people from Liu Jizu and his party, 5 from Elder Long's family, 24 from Feng Dingkun's party, 15 from Hou Huaigu's group, 75 from Su Mengqi's party, 128 from Fan Cheng's party, and 100 girls, 30 boys and four demons rescued together.
Among these people, there are forty people who know martial arts, namely Liu Jizu, Wu Lun, Elder Long, Four Demons, Hou Huaigu and his party of fifteen and Feng Dingkun and his party of eighteen. There are one hundred and thirty-eight adult males who don't know martial arts but are in good health, including two members of Elder Long's family, Feng Dingkun's party of the remaining six, Su Mengqi's group of seventy-one people, and Fan Cheng's group of fifty-nine people.
The remaining two hundred and nine people are either women, minors, sick, or old and weak, including three people from Liu Jizu and his party, three from Elder Long's family, four people from Su Mengqi's party, sixty-nine people from Fan Cheng's party, and one hundred girls and thirty boys. Liu Jizu estimated that when the sick ones recovered, there would be about 30 adult males who could use them.
The girls and boys were between the ages of 10 and 12, and fifty-three of them found their families, who heard the news and came to the Valley of Wuwei. But the remaining forty-seven girls and the thirty boys had no family to take care of them, and now Mr. Su and Fan Butcher arranged for someone to take care of them for the time being.
After making the people clear, Liu Jizu began to arrange.
He first thought that many children were idle and had nothing to do, and they were prone to accidents without family discipline and care, so he first arranged: "I have an idea and want to hear your opinions." These children who have no family are helpless, and there is no one to discipline and take care of them, which is not always the solution. I would like to entrust Doctor Feng with a few pharmacists to teach these girls some simple medical skills, especially the treatment and care of trauma and common injuries. Entrust Elder Long and Senior Hou to take a few medical warriors and poison warriors to teach the boy some simple martial arts, no need to be profound, it is best to focus on actual combat on the battlefield, I don't know what you think?"
Doctor Feng was very happy to hear this, "The son is kind-hearted and thoughtful, we have no problem!"
Elder Long also nodded, "This is a good way, organize them, and you can do a lot of what you can." ”
Hou Huaigu added at this time: "If a girl is suitable, she can also learn martial arts, so many go to study medicine, it doesn't make much sense!"
Divine Doctor Feng was unhappy when he heard this, thinking that he was targeting himself again, "Women's physical strength is naturally worse than that of men, and I am afraid that the effect of learning martial arts is not good!"
Hou Huaigu said: "That being said, but there are also masters among women, like Xiao Fluttershy and her daughter Jiang Meng, as well as Ling Sanshan of the Hengshan faction, I am not necessarily an opponent, not to mention that some light and small kung fu are more suitable for women!"
What else did Doctor Feng want to say, Liu Jizu was afraid that they would finally reconcile, and because of this new contradiction, he hurriedly smiled and persuaded: "The two don't have to fight, just like this, both men and women learn some medical skills, and they also learn martial arts, but they both start from the simplest and most practical ones." On the one hand, this can give boys the ability to heal themselves, and on the other hand, it can also give girls basic self-protection skills. When the teaching is almost over, look at their qualifications, suitable for learning martial arts, and then go to learn martial arts, and the rest will go to study medicine, how about the two of you?"
Both of them felt that it was quite appropriate when they heard it, so they nodded in agreement.
When Mr. Su saw it, he thought of his daughter and knew that the opportunity was rare, so he asked, "Then can our daughter also study with them?"
Of course, everyone agrees on this, so that these children have something to do.
Mr. Su was very happy, and then reported the situation of the property, "I have already counted the property we collected in Wuwei Valley on the way. In addition to the spent, all the gold and silver were converted into silver taels, and there were 32,550 taels in total, it seems that this Jiang Yao is really rich. In addition, there are many gold and silver utensils and antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and a bag of medicine. I think the things he has there should be good things, I don't know much about them, but they can definitely sell for a lot of money. In addition, since our destination is Jiangdong Province, it is better to wait until we reach the big cities of Jiangdong Province before selling, such as Jinling or Yangzhou, I heard that there are many rich people there, and they can sell it at a high price. ”
When Liu Jizu heard this, he suddenly thought that the bottle of Chunmeng was traceless, and he bought five thousand taels of silver for twenty pills, so a big bag of medicine would definitely be sold for more money. And they need a lot of money now, so they asked Hou Huaigu: "Senior Hou, I don't know what kind of medicine you collected, and how much can it be sold?"
