Great Song Pirate

Chapter 282
The two boats went down the Bianhe River, traveling relatively briskly, which saved a lot of time compared to traveling by land, and they were also much more comfortable. It is estimated that at this speed, it will not take long to reach Yangzhou City.

Although the two brothers Gao Jun are no longer at odds and seem to have nothing to do, but Xu Yi often sees Gao Xu often standing on the side of the boat in a daze alone, looking depressed, and Xu Yi knows that he is actually still alive. He didn't get rid of his heart knot, but he knew Xiaoyi very well, and he didn't want to make his mother angry, so he suppressed the depression in his heart and forced a smile.

"Can I have a chat with Brother Gao?" Xu Yi walked to Gao Xu who was standing alone on the side of the boat, and said to him with a smile.

Gao Xu looked at Xu Yi coldly, then turned his head and cast his eyes on the boats passing by on the Bian River. With a look of fading interest, he said lightly, "What are you talking about?"

Xu Yi didn't care about his attitude. He stood beside him and looked at the water while leaning on the side of the boat and said, "I think I can understand your feelings. I want to tell you a story about me. Do you want to hear it?" ?”

Gao Xu was a little surprised by Xu Yi's words, turned his head to look at Xu Yi, and then said: "Anyway, it's okay to be idle, just talk about it, shopkeeper Xu!"

"Brother Gao may not have imagined that I was actually not from the Song Dynasty. I have only been here for two or three years. When I first arrived here, I woke up and found myself alone, floating in the vast sea. In the meantime, everything about me was gone, including home, friends, boats and everything I was familiar with. I was left alone, and there were fish in the sea. It's a brand new world, can you imagine my mood at that time?" Xu Yi didn't look at Gao Xu, but cast his gaze to the far sky.

Xu Yi's words immediately aroused Gao Xu's interest. After thinking for a while, he replied, "I think you must be very desperate! You are not from Song Dynasty, so where are you from?"

Xu Yi didn't answer his question, but went on to say: "You are right. I was really desperate at the time. It can be said that I was very desperate. Later, after I was wandering at sea for a few days, I finally saw a boat appearing in the sea. If it is within my sight, you must not have guessed what kind of ship it is!"

Although Xu Yi didn't answer his question, Gao Xu was still aroused by his life experience, so he guessed: "I think it should be a merchant ship! Is it a military ship? Or an official ship?"

Xu Yi kept shaking his head, and finally told him: "It's a pirate's boat. After they pulled me aboard, they searched for everything on me, and then planned to throw me back into the sea. Can you understand me? How did you feel then?"

"Pirate? You mean a pirate ship! Then I think you must be very scared and even more desperate!" Gao Xu's appetite was really whetted by Xu Yi, and he answered according to his train of thought.

"Yes, I was terrified, and even more desperate, but they didn't throw me into the sea. There was only one reason, because I could read a few words, and they lacked an accountant who could keep accounts, so I escaped death, so I stayed on the small island of pirates. In the first days, I was immersed in pain, despair, and confusion every day. I didn’t know what to do, what to do, or what to do in the future! In short, every day I ate and slept, and I ate when I slept, I was like a walking dead, but it didn't take long before I started to cheer up, and until now, I have such a property!" Xu Yi then said to him.

Gao Xu looked at Xu Yi in surprise and asked, "You said you were a pirate?"

Xu Yi turned his head and stared into Gao Xu's eyes and said: "It doesn't matter what I do, what I want to tell you is that compared to me, you have a lot, you have a mother by your side, and you have a brother who cares about you." , and so many relatives, so you have no reason to be decadent!"

Gao Xu also looked back at Xu Yi and asked, "Why did you tell me these things? Aren't you afraid that I will report you?"

Xu Yi laughed, turned his head and lay down on the side of the boat again: "I tell you this because I don't want to see you destroy my future just like that, and I won't worry about you reporting on me, because you didn't kill your relatives righteously, go Report on your brother!"

Gao Xu shook his head and sighed: "Do you think I have a future? I didn't report on my brother because my brother has always been kind to me, and I don't want to make my mother sad!"

Xu Yi sneered: "Do you only see being an official as your future? Why do you want to be an official? Do you want to get promoted and get rich?"

Gao Xu's face was a little bad, and he said angrily: "I practice martial arts every day, study poetry and books hard, for what? I don't care about getting promoted and getting rich. I can flee to the south with you, but I can't do anything!"

"Is it possible that only being an official can do something for the people of the Song Dynasty? I don't think so. How many officials are really thinking about doing something for the people now? If all the officials think so, or If only half of them think so, I am afraid that the world will not be in such a mess, and although I am only the leader of a pirate, I dare to say that what I do is not even comparable to those who are officials, I am not afraid you know, So far, I have taken in more than tens of thousands of refugees and orphans from all over the world. Who cares about their life and death? But I let them have enough food and clothing, fields to grow, things to do, and books to read. Why is your brother so angry? Killing officials and rebelling? It's because he can't see those officials and those rich and unkind people ignoring the lives and deaths of those people, so I respect him. You even look down on yourself!" Xu Yi reprimanded him mercilessly.

Gao Xu was really stunned by Xu Yi's words. He stared blankly at Xu Yi, and asked after a while, "Then what do you think I should do? What can I do?"

Xu Yi turned around, stared at Gao Xu and said, "There are too many things you can do. There will be chaos in the north, and the Song Dynasty is at stake. As long as you are not blind, you can see clearly that the Jinren will soon be with you." Da Song turned against each other. Although I dare not say that I am very capable, I can provide you with a world to show your talents. As long as you are willing to do it, you can do a lot of things, instead of complaining or complaining about yourself every day Your brother!"

"Can you give me a chance to show my talent?" Gao Xu was moved by his words and asked Xu Yi.

"That's right! I now occupy a very large island overseas. It's so big that you may not be able to imagine it. I have accommodated a large number of refugees and let them farm and produce there. But what I lack now is the ability to manage them. Man, if you want, you might as well show me some skills, what you can do!" Xu Yi said loudly.

Gao Xu was really moved by what he said this time, the expression on his face changed a few times instantly, it could be seen that he was still hesitating.

"Xiaoxu! My lord is helping you! I don't care if I don't want to be an official now, but my lord will give you a chance to show your talents. You must seize it!" Just as Gao Xu was still there While hesitating, a voice came from behind them. It was Gao Jun who came here, heard the conversation between Xu Yi and Gao Xu, and finally couldn't help but come out.

Gao Xu's eyes lit up again, he looked at Xu Yi and said, "If it's what you said, I'd like to try it with you!"

Xu Yi laughed loudly, took Gao Xu's hand and said, "That is my honor, Xu Yi! It is also the blessing of those refugees! Welcome, I am a warm welcome!"

Because Xu Yi was determined to return home, the two boats basically did not stop at any place except to stop at the shore to replenish some food. Instead, they traveled day and night, took the Bian River straight into the Huai River, and then arrived in Chuzhou, diverted to Yangzhou, After more than half a month, they finally entered the Yangtze River and arrived in Yangzhou. Xu Yi was amazed along the way. How well-developed the canals and waterways were in ancient times. If it was by land, I really don’t know how long they would have to travel!I'm afraid the fatigue of the carriages and horses will throw them off their shelves!

Xu Yi was in a very comfortable mood along the way. If he had nothing to do, he would talk about the art of war with Yang Zaixing, Li Bo, Gao Jun and others, or talk about the way of governing the country with Gao Xu. .

After such a journey, Xu Yi also has a better understanding of their abilities. Among these people, Yang Zaixing is the most familiar with the art of war. After all, he is from a famous family and has read many military books and strategies. Not weak, but in this respect he is much worse than Yang Zaixing, and what makes Xu Yi even more happy is that this Gao Xu really is like what Gao Jun said, in addition to being familiar with the art of war, he also has a lot of research on the way of governing the country, saying When it comes to rectifying the place, it’s a set of things. Xu Yi couldn’t help nodding when he heard it. The two brothers of the Gao family, one civil and one military, are both capable people. This time he made a lot of money again. It was a windfall.

However, after Gao Xu had such a talk with Xu Yi, he immediately put away his contempt. Thinking about so many things Xu Yi has seen in later generations, he is already familiar with various political systems. He has never eaten pork, at least I also know how pigs run, and casually expressing some opinions on some methods of governing the country makes Gao Xu feel enlightened, and his eyes always light up when he hears it. Shocking the world, but felt that it was true and reasonable. Gradually, he began to approach Xu Yi unconsciously, always wanting to hear more from Xu Yi about his views on governing the country, completely gone from the first meeting. Feeling aloof, he seemed to be another die-hard supporter of Xu Yi.
