XXXVII Han Shu

"Do you know where the jade pit on the mountain is?"

Zhao Yu asked Han Shu: "You take me there, I can pay for it." ”

"Don't go. ”

Without waiting for Han Shu to reply, a child next to him smacked his eyes: "Brother Shu, the beasts on the mountain are vicious..."

Zhao Yu couldn't help laughing, these children were really precocious. Obviously because Zhao Yu was a stranger, he refused with the excuse that there was a beast.

"I'll take the elders with me. ”

Han Shu agreed.

Zhao Yu asked him curiously: "Why do you agree? I'm a stranger, aren't you afraid that I'll be bad for you?"

Han Shu shook his head: "I think the elder has a calm and natural temperament, and he must not be a bad person." Elders come to us as guests. As a landlord, you should be helped. ”

Zhao Yu stroked his palms and smiled: "What a good boy." ”

"Wait a minute, elder. ”

Han Shu made a gesture decently, called a few partners aside, muttered a few words, and then came over and said to Zhao Yu: "Elder, please come with me." ”

When the two of them went around the village and went up the mountain, the other children hurried into the village.

Zhao Yu heard it clearly before, and Han Shu whispered to them, telling them to go back immediately and tell the village elder about it. Yu didn't say much, but Zhao Yu saw the child's intelligence.

He is not really an ignorant child who is stupid and agrees to anything, but a teenager who can fully consider some problems. Polite and courteous, but not rigid, if you can be trained well, you will not be too bad when you grow up in the future.

"You shouldn't be a child of an ordinary family, right?" Zhao Yu said with a smile as he walked: "I have seen a lot of children of ordinary people, but there is no such thing as you." Or there are smart ones, but they are not as good as you. ”

The elder praised it. Han Shu lowered his head, a little shy, and said, "I'm just... Just read a few more books. ”

Zhao Yu nodded: "Call me Mr. Zhao." If you can read, it is not an ordinary person's home. Your surname is Han, do you have any origins in your family?"

When Han Shu heard this, he raised his head, and his little face showed some pride: "Sir, do you know Han Qian? This is my ancestor." ”

"Han Qian?"

Zhao Yu thought for a while and said apologetically: "I'm lonely and unheard, and I probably don't know the name of the Zun Gaozu. ”

Han Shu immediately said: "Gaozu Han Qian, who used to be Henan Yin, moved his family to Nanyang in order to avoid trouble during the pseudo-new dynasty. ”

"Henan Yin?" Zhao Yu smiled: "Then you have a family history." ”

Henan Yin's official position is not small. If you put it 2,000 years later, he will be the mayor of Kyoto and a high-ranking city official, with a high position of power. can do such an official position, it seems that this character named Han Qian is not idle.

The birth of the family family was gradually formed at the end of the Western Han Dynasty. And the Eastern Han Dynasty, that is, Guangwu Liu Xiu re-Xing Han family, the local wealthy family gave great support. The family is a collection of scholarship and power, often the ancestors have a high position, since then to the poetry and books heirloom, entrenched in the locality, if the past dynasties can produce a few academic or political talents, will become the world's great family. This is how the Runan Yuan clan was formed.

The family has the difference between the high door and the cold door, and the cold family is not a flat-headed common people, and they also use poetry and books to pass on the family, but they are just decayed. If Zhao Yu didn't guess wrong, this village under the mountain should be the Han family's Hanmen.

In the Western Han Dynasty, the Pingtou people still had a way out, and in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the rise of the wealthy families, with the difference between the gate valves, the Pingtou people gradually tended to be completely imprisoned, and humanity tended to be solidified.

The blockade of knowledge and academia, both military and political and power in the DPRK and China were controlled by the big families, so the Eastern Han Dynasty did not really give birth to a period of extreme prosperity.

In the Western Han Dynasty, such as the eternal champion Hou Huo Quai, the general Wei Qing, these people who were even slaves, all had such achievements, but in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was absolutely impossible.

The wealthy families have woven a huge net that encompasses everything, solidifying humanity and gradually disappearing its vitality.

According to Zhao Yu's calculations, the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, you came and went for hundreds of years, in fact, it was also mixed with the struggle between the common people and the wealthy families. But in the end, it was the Hao family who won. As a result, the society of the two Jin Dynasty was completely solidified, and there was no longer the slightest vitality, so it fell into decline.

This was the first Dark Age for the Han Chinese.

And before that, even if it was the Zongzhou, Spring and Autumn Warring States, the princes fought chaotically for hundreds of years, and they had never allowed the barbarians to persecute the Zhuxia Miao descendants to the extent of Wuhu Chaohua. Even before the princes of Qi Huan and Jiuhe came to the world, it was not so dark.

Just on the way up the mountain, Zhao Yu thought of a lot.

"Historically, Cao Mengde wantonly used the poor door, and also issued a recruitment order, meritocracy, regardless of background. In fact, Cao Mengde saw the harm of the wealthy family monopolizing everything. But it didn't work. Even if it's a poor family, it's actually a family. Cao Mengde did not dare to directly use the people of Pingtou, but only dared to retreat to the next best, and clamped each other with the cold gate and the high gate. But drinking to quench thirst, the Hanmen is essentially a family, and the rise of the Hanmen is another high-ranking gate. Changing the soup is not just changing the medicine. ”

"Maybe I can plan for Cao Mengde in this regard. ”

"Mr. Zhao, there is a pit ahead. ”

Han Shu's childish voice pulled Zhao Yu back from his contemplation.

Looking up, half of the cliffs in the distance were missing, and although the cliffs were not new, traces of mining could be seen.

Han Shu's face was flushed at this time, and he was panting for breath.

This way up the mountain, after all, is not close. Teenage children are a little struggling.

Zhao Yu looked at it carefully and said with a smile: "Thank you, Xiao Hanshu." ”

Touching his head and killing, Zhao Yu said again: "I will probably stay here for half a month and a month, you bring me here, I said I will pay you." Come here every morning, if you will, and I'll teach you something. ”

Han Shu made a gesture: "Mr. is a guest, I can't ask for Mr.'s payment." But I don't think the gentleman should be alone in the mountains. There are wild beasts on the mountain, and there is nothing to eat, so Mr. Zhao might as well come down the mountain to the village every day. ”

Zhao Yu smiled and shook his head: "I'm not a powerless person. And it's also inconvenient to disturb. That's it for my words. Come, and I will teach you. ”

Then he said, "Go down the mountain quickly, your parents and elders should be worried about you." ”

"Farewell, Mr. Zhao. ”

Seeing Han Shu's small figure disappear on the mountain road, Zhao Yu shook his head and smiled, and prepared to set up a hut here to survive temporarily.

The so-called remuneration is just a temporary idea of Zhao Yu. He felt that Han Shu, a child, could be cultivated, so he might as well give him a chance. But it also depends on his own choice, if he doesn't come, Zhao Yu won't force it.

According to Zhao Yu's ability, it is easy to build a hut.

In less than half an hour, a brand-new wooden house was erected outside the pit.

It probably looks like a house on stilts, but in fact, if you build a hut in the mountains, you will probably choose this way. One is to avoid hurting the body, and the other is to avoid snakes, insects, rats and ants.

Zhao Yu is in good spirits, and under the cycle, at least the rush will not make him tired. So after building the hut, Zhao Yu began mining.

Zhao Yu doesn't need any tools to mine.

Standing in front of the cliff, he raised his hand and punched, the strength was subtle and mysterious, poof, the cliff wall did not move, but in fact, a stone cliff with a radius of ten meters and a depth of seven or eight meters had been scattered by his punch.

Under the prying eyes of the spiritual sense, the fist avoided the jade hidden deep in the mountain stones, and only beat the useless stones into powder, and the jade was not damaged.

Then he stretched out his palm, made a grasping shape, and in the stumbling, the stone powder slipped off, and the mana was like an invisible hand, taking out the jade hidden in it. Stone powder slid off the cliff face, leaving behind a large hemispherical pit that was smooth as the bottom of a bowl.

In fact, this stone cliff, which is no more than two or three hundred meters high and one or two hundred meters wide, can be collapsed by Zhao Yu with one punch. But it's not necessary.

What he needed was jade hidden in the rocks, not to break down a rock cliff. Moreover, the spiritual consciousness that the divine soul had just conceived could only penetrate seven or eight meters deep into the stone cliff, covering an area of about ten meters, so one punch could only mine such a pit.

No matter what it is, whether it is a person or a thing, it is all good and few, and ordinary goods are mostly good.

This punch went down, hundreds of square meters, seven or eight meters deep in the cliff, only more than ten pieces of large and small Dushan jade were mined, but there was no good quality. There are only one or two pieces that can be slightly eye-catching. Zhao Yu was not disappointed, he knew that the reason why good things were good was because they were scarce.

In this way, the mining operation, which is extremely difficult in the eyes of ordinary people, is like a family play in Zhao Yu's place.

One punch and one pit, in order to avoid the collapse of the cliff, Zhao Yu did not pick indiscriminately, but picked from bottom to top. Plough out a series of vertical and smooth conjoined gourds composed of hemispherical holes on the cliff wall.

By the time it got dark, the stone cliff, the part that jutted out of the earth, had all gone.

In its place, there is a delicate stretch of sand, and a large pile of jade outside a lonely cabin.

Most of these jades are ordinary colors, and Zhao Yu can't look at them. Only select no more than two percent of them, and put them into the small world of Chaos Beads to store.

The jade collected by Zhao Yu is complete. The stone skin was peeled off by the subtle fist, and it did not hurt the jade inside. These jade stones have different appearances, some are not formed, and some are not of good quality, but the appearance is pleasing to the eye.

Or like mountains, rocks, plants and trees, or like flowers, birds, fish and insects, naturally generated, but somewhat ornamental.

"It's not very useful, it can be used as an ornament. ”

Zhao Yu also received some that looked good.

Nothing was said all night.

Before dawn the next day, Zhao Yu walked out of the wooden house, habitually punched, and when the sun just jumped out of the distance, he began mining again.

At about midnight, a small figure, carrying a bamboo basket, came up from the mountain with great difficulty.

It's Han Shu.

This kid didn't think about getting paid from Zhao Yu at all, he just brought Zhao Yu some vegetables and fruits.

But when I got to the mountain, I looked up, and the little man opened his mouth wide and looked confused.

Where are the cliffs?
