Chapter 194: It's about Berwyn
Jin Zi looked at the "family heirloom" in his hand with a smile, shook his head and said: "It is said that the ancestors made a fortune by cornucopia, but that is just a joke, incompetent people are jealous, so they use this reason to cover up the talent of the ancestors, and those in power covet it, so they use this reason to ridicule the ancestors." And the ancestors, how can they have the ability to erase the rumors of the world?"
"But he is a belief, the people in the village regard business as the foundation of life, they uphold the concept of their ancestors, go out to do business, many people in every era of the villagers become rich, of course, more will leave the world forever"
After Jin Zi finished speaking, his face was a little uncalm, maybe he was thinking of his relatives, Liu Yu looked at his frowning expression, and couldn't help patting him on the shoulder,
"It's not something you should be thinking about at your age"
"Always have to think about it"
Jin Zi smiled bitterly: "Whether it's himself, or the village chief and grandfather, they will think about it sooner or later."
Liu Yu was silent, he really didn't want to comfort Jinzi, after all, Jinzi's life experience was really sad, and his relatives left one after another, if he was a person who was not firm in mind, he was afraid that he would have collapsed long ago.
"Yes"
Jin Zi's smile disappeared, and he picked up the cornucopia and thought about the way to go, when an old man came over and said a few words to Jinzi, and Jin Zi turned his head and said:
"Big brother, I'm going to sleep!"
"Go ahead!"
Liu Yu bowed his head, and his eyes shifted to the village chief, it was obvious that the village chief must have something to do when he came to him.
"Mr. Liu, don't mind if you say a few words to you."
The village chief's body was quite tough, and his speech seemed to be full of energy, Liu Yu nodded, and he took Liu Yu to a side room, where there was already brewed tea.
"Mr. Liu, the gold is stubborn, it makes you smile"
The village chief handed over a cup of tea with a smile, Liu Yu hurriedly took it, shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter, it's just that Jin Zi's shoulders bear too much." It's inevitable."
"There's no way."
The village chief smiled and said: "The people in the village are all in business, although the family has become rich, but it has also lost its simple nature, if it weren't for our old man insisting on leaving gold, I'm afraid he has been driven away by the villagers."
"A man of business"
Liu Yu nodded approvingly, the village chief paused, and then asked:
"I don't know what the gentleman has to do with us this time?"
"Something important!?It's a big deal!"
Liu Yu nodded and said calmly: "I'm here to become an immortal!"
"Become an immortal?"
The village chief asked in amazement. Then he smiled and said: "Sir, don't be joking, even if this kind of thing is true, how can it have anything to do with our village."
"Yes!"
Liu Yu replied to him in an affirmative tone, "There must be!"
"Mister"
The village chief shook his head a little embarrassed, "If Mr. is unwilling to say the purpose of coming here, the old man will not be reluctant, but Mr. still don't tease the old man."
"I mean really, I'm here to seek immortals. I'm here because I need the opportunity to be here."
Liu Yu's face was sincere, which made the village chief a little surprised. Although these old people believe in ghosts and gods, they are all just Ye Gong Haolong, if you want to say that ghosts and gods, he naturally swears, but if there are really ghosts and gods, I am afraid that he will be the first to be frightened.
How can young people today believe in ghosts and gods more than they do in old people?
The old village chief was puzzled, but he was puzzled. But he still nodded and said: "We have only heard the legend of Chengxian this thing, and there is no way to help you."
"It doesn't matter"
Liu Yu smiled faintly, knowing that what the village chief knew was probably not of much use to him, but since he came here, he must have his own experience.
"But there are many legends about our village."
The village chief smiled kindly, and Liu Yu hurriedly asked, "I want to hear about it."
He paused, took a sip of tea,
"He must have told you about the cornucopia, what do you think about it?"
"I don't know"
Liu Yu responded calmly,
The village chief shook his head and said, "No one knows whether the cornucopia is true or not, but what is certain is that what Jin Zi said is just a fabrication made up by adults to motivate the teenagers."
"The historical statement is indeed the same as the lie, but like the adults, the ancestors also fabricated this lie, the so-called history, it is just the words of the people, and who can tell right and wrong!"
"Zhu Yuanzhang was ruthless to his ancestors back then, forcing his ancestors to change their names and surnames to live here!"
The village chief sighed and said helplessly: "Our village is actually a clan, but it is very down-and-out, and it is not until this era of rising commerce that it has a chance to raise its head!"
"In this era, ghosts and gods are not talked about, so the people in the village gradually abandoned the legend of the cornucopia and regarded the cornucopia as a kind of belief."
"Avoid trouble!?"
Liu Yu keenly discovered the key point, before Jin Zi also said that the ancestor came here to avoid trouble, so is the village chief just the emperor's persecution?
"Yes, avoid trouble!"
The village chief frowned, thought about it carefully, and then slowly spoke: "This avoidance is said to have two things, one is in the heart of the emperor, the ancestor golden cicada can stay away from the emperor only by shedding its shell, and the other is it."
"What's the second one?"
Liu Yu asked, a wry smile flashed on the village chief's face, and instead of answering, he asked, "Does Mr. know Liu Ji?"
"Mr. Berwyn!?"
Liu Yu was surprised, but saw the village chief nodding slowly, "The second is related to Mr. Berwyn!"
Liu Bowen, that is, Liu Ji, can be said to be Zhu Yuanzhang's greatest help to become the emperor.
In the book "The Dynasty Dragged Down by Interest Groups", it was mentioned that Zhu Yuanzhang asked Liu Bowen to go out of the mountain. Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Liu Bowen was recommended by another Shuo Ru, Zhu Sheng.
Zhu Sheng was also an official of the Yuan Dynasty and a fellow villager of Zhu Yuanzhang. After he was invited out of the mountain, he recommended the "Four Masters of Jinhua" to Zhu Yuanzhang. These four people are Liu Bowen, Song Lian, Zhang Yi and Ye Chen.
At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang was already a relatively powerful part of the peasant rebel army at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. Most of the people who followed him to uncover the uprising were buddies from Huaixi's hometown, such as Xu Da, Mu Ying, etc., who were all heroes who charged into battle with guns and sticks, but they were not good at judging the situation and strategizing. Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to recruit a few Zhiduoxing to conspire with him. After listening to Zhu Sheng's words, he appointed a special person to invite the "Four Heroes of Jinhua" to Nanjing.
For the arrival of the four people, Zhu Yuanzhang gave enough courtesy, in addition to the collective reception and banquet, but also talked with the four people separately. Liu Bowen took the opportunity to present the "Eighteen Strategies for Current Affairs" to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Many historians believe that the joining of the "Four Heroes of Jinhua" is one of the key factors for Zhu Yuanzhang to destroy the heroes and finally seize the world.
In fact, among the four, only Liu Bowen really played an important role.
This is a folk saying, and Liu Yu knows that Liu Bowen is absolutely extraordinary! )
