[Quick Crossing + Red Mansions] I have a strong desire to survive

The emperor asked Jin Yiwei to secretly arrest a few of the second batch of storytellers—it is not necessary to arrest all of them, the third batch will definitely jump out—to examine why they dare to continue the storytelling.

After asking, I found out that the owner of the teahouse spent a lot of money to invite them here for business.So the owner of the teahouse was arrested, and the owner of the teahouse called for injustice—they paid a lot of money to re-hire the storyteller because after the two story books started, the business of the teahouse was more than twice as good as before.How could they be willing to give up such a profitable book and talk about something else?

It doesn't work if you don't say it.The emperor had the Hanlin Academy, the Imperial College, and the Erudite Confucianism where several literati gathered. It would not be difficult for them to write a few eulogizing books for the emperor.The task Jin Yiwei gave to those teahouse owners was to let their teahouses stop talking about "The Story of the Heroes of the West" and "Legend of Ningyuan" and instead sing about the deeds of the emperor's benevolence and filial piety.

The emperor still has to face. He didn't let all the teahouses in Beijing spread his deeds immediately, but wanted to gradually open a few more teahouses every day, so that the people must not find out that the teahouses changed to benevolence and filial piety, and someone was behind the scenes. .

It really hurts only when there is a comparison.Compared with "The Legend of the Heroes of the West" and "Legend of Ningyuan" which were full, the teahouses praising the emperor can be described as sparsely populated.There is no way, the emperor is not a man of 24 filial piety, his so-called benevolence and filial deeds are nothing more than greeting the late emperor on time for many years, and tried the medicine for the late emperor. Compared with those two scriptures, they are nothing good , even the children of ordinary wealthy families can do it.

When all the teahouses in Beijing began to spread the story of the emperor's benevolence and filial piety, the enthusiasm of the people to go to the teahouses finally subsided.Speaking of which, the common people have their own wisdom in life. They can hear that the so-called benevolence and filial piety are things that everyone can do if they want to, but no one proclaims it.Everyone chooses not to listen, is that all right?

The emperor, who had successfully disgusted the people of the capital, was relieved to hear that the legend of Jia Daihua was no longer in the capital, and he hated to ask Jinyiwei to check whether the Ningguo Mansion was behind it.

In the end, it was found out that they were two candidates who came to Beijing from the northwest to rush for the exam. They had heard too much about Jia Daihua’s heroic deeds in their hometown, and when they had been in Beijing for too long, they didn’t have enough money to spend, so they came up with the idea of ​​writing a speech. The idea of ​​selling the book, those two candidates didn't even know where the gate of Ningguo Mansion opened.

For this reason, the two candidates were also dismissed from their honors on the charge of demagogy, and they were directly escorted back to their original places, and they were never allowed to participate in the imperial examination.If it weren't for the story of his benevolence and filial piety being circulated in the teahouse, the emperor would have wanted those two sons not to see the sun of tomorrow.

However, the person sent to escort Juzi was from Jin Yiwei, and the emperor felt that he would hear good news soon.

The words "Heaven does not obey man's wish" seemed to be tailor-made for the emperor. From the day he ordered Jia Daihua to return to the northwest border, he followed the emperor like a shadow.

Four or five days later, the commander of Jinyiwei, who had a more bitter face, appeared again in the Hall of Mental Cultivation: "Return to the saint, the carriage that escorted the two candidates overturned, and the carriage fell into a deep ravine. people……"

The emperor smiled slightly when he heard this: "This time, I finally did a good job." After the two exams died, he could also relieve the lump in his chest.

The commander was about to cry: "Saint, the bones of everyone in the car are gone."

Is there a difference?The emperor glanced at the commander, and didn't understand why he had the look of a dead old lady. Didn't he just kill a few guards in Jin Yi, and he just recruited again.The commander had no choice but to explain to the emperor: "There was no news on the second day of the escort's departure from Beijing. I didn't dare to be negligent, so I hurriedly asked someone to investigate. It was not until yesterday that the traces of the falling car were found."

"The place where the carriage fell was only a hundred miles away from the capital, and the carriage could reach it within a day. When the people sent by the minister checked, there were only, only the corpses of the escorts, not, not the two juveniles." figure."

"Boom—" the imperial case was flipped to the ground again: "Let me find out who is so bold that he dares to do such a rebellious thing at the feet of the emperor."

"Saint, could it be Jia Daihua..." the commander said his guess.In Jin Yiwei's eyes, anything that is possible is within reasonable doubt.Jia Daihua is the one who benefits from the actions of the two, so he is the most suspicious.

The emperor shook his head: "Jia Daihua has already gone to Shaanxi. When the two scripts were passed on in Beijing, he had already arrived in Shanxi. Besides, he is only a warrior. How could he come up with the idea of ​​inviting such a name?"

The commander didn't dare to say any more, the emperor was already having a headache: "Go and check on you, and I'll get back to you if you understand within ten days. If you want to check Ningguo Mansion, you can just check it, just don't let people find out. Otherwise, the Northwest Army's heart will be unstable, and I will only you." ask."

The commander Wei Wei retreated, and Dai Quan stepped forward to help the emperor: "The sage lies down and rests for a while, and this servant calls the imperial doctor to come and take the sage's pulse."

Jia Daihua, who didn't know that he was so angry with the emperor, went to Shaanxi at this time, just like the news the emperor had.But at this time, he had already had someone pretend to be him, and continued on his way with a hundred soldiers in a leisurely manner, but the deity came to the Zhuangzi where the orphans of soldiers were taken in.

Zhuangzi was built in a remote mountain village in Yulin. From a distance, it is impossible to find a manor hidden here. Only when they approached did someone stop Jia Daihua and his party: "There are fierce beasts in the front mountain. Take a detour."

"You bastard, why don't you hurry up to meet the master when you come, how dare you block the way." Jiao Da felt that these people really didn't wink at him, which made him lose face in front of Jia Daihua, and what he said was very rude.

The person who blocked the way was also very angry: "We don't know what kind of master and slave. We only recognize one master, but it's not like whoever dresses better can act as master in front of us."

He was so anxious that he wanted to kick someone, but Jia Daihua took out a token and raised it to the leader: "So, can I be your master?"

After a few plops, the people blocking the way knelt down when they saw the token, claiming to have seen the master.Jiao Da wanted to scold them for not knowing Mount Tai, but Jia Daihua stopped him: "They are responsible for the safety of the people in Zhuangzi, so it is reasonable to be more vigilant." He asked those people to get up and take his group to Zhuangzi have a look.

The people in charge of Zhuangzi were the ten people of Guizi generation. When they saw Jia Daihua coming, they all came up to salute: "I don't want the master to come here."

Jia Daihua smiled at them, and asked them to get up, "I think this Zhuangzi is quite old, how did it get into your hands?"

Gui Yi stepped forward and replied: "This was originally a villa owned by the former prefect of Yulin. Because of the poor harvest, the tenants could not pay the rent, so they all fled. The prefect of Yulin was also promoted to Xijing, so he sold the village. , it happened to be cheaper for us."

It's really cheap.Jia Daihua has seen along the way that the Zhuangzi is very solidly built and the place is not small. If it is such a big Zhuangzi in the mainland, it cannot be bought for ten thousand taels of silver.There is little rain in Yulin, and the land is not valuable. This Zhuangzigui got it for only 4000 taels.

"How many people are accommodated in Zhuangzi now? How old are they, but they all come here voluntarily?"

"Returning to the master, after we left Beijing, we visited several places where there were many dead soldiers according to the address given by the master. Many families couldn't afford food because they had no income, and some families had already started selling their children. We followed the master's instructions as a family. After paying ten taels of silver, and saying that the village is full of food, children from nine out of ten families are willing to come."

"But according to what I said, only sons are not accepted, and those with two brothers are only accepted?"

"Yes," Gui Yi replied, "It was all done according to the master's orders. It's just that there are many families who have nowhere to buy grain even with silver, and even if they are the only son, they want to send it to the Zhuangzi. There are also some brothers who fight over who stays at home and who comes to Zhuangzi. Everyone wants to come to Zhuangzi."

Apparently it was all due to lack of food.Jia Daihua was silent after hearing this.Jiao Shi then persuaded him: "Master wants to leave blood to the dead soldiers, but in the current age, staying at home is waiting for death, it is better to come to Zhuangzi, life and death are fate, wealth and honor are in the sky."

That being said, the people in Zhuangzi will all go to the battlefield with him in the future, and when the time comes, swords and arrows will have no eyes. If all the brothers and sisters in the family die, Jia Daihua still feels sorry for the dead.

"Send people to those people's homes again, and tell them that food will be delivered in a short time, so that they don't sell their children anymore."

"Master." Jiao Da was a little anxious: "The price of grain in Yulin is twice that of Jiangnan, so how much money will it cost to buy it even if it is available?"

Jia Daihua sighed: "Those are the children who fought with us to kill the Beirong Tongpao. Once they are sold, their blood will be cut off. The reason why the Tongpao fought the enemy bravely is not to let his family not suffer from the Beibei. The humiliation of the Rong. The Beirong people cannot be kept out of the border, and their children have to be sold into slavery."

Now not only Jiaoda had nothing to say, but all of Guizishi's eyes were a little warm: "Master, don't worry, the little ones will do it now." Following such a master, even if he has no family, he feels at ease.

Except for Guiyi, the remaining nine people withdrew. Guiyi began to report the specific situation in Zhuangzili to Jia Daihua. Now Zhuangzili has accommodated more than 100 orphans of soldiers and soldiers, and there are still Tiangan and Dizhi walking rooms. I met more than 800 orphans, and there are nearly [-] orphans in total.

"These children are able to endure hardships. Even if they only eat thick porridge every day, no one complains." Gui Yi secretly observed Jia Daihua's face, and said carefully: "It's just that food is hard to buy in Yulin now, and the word B is now gone. Rushed to the south of the Yangtze River to collect grain, and encountered many roadblocks along the way."

That is to say, it has to be done with silver.Jia Daihua nodded knowingly, remembering that the high-yield potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes in later generations should have begun to spread into China at this time, so he said to Guidao: "I will draw a few things for you later, all of which are high-yielding and drought-resistant. Let the people in Jiazi pay attention to collecting them in the south of the Yangtze River. Those few things can also be grown locally in Yulin, and with the seeds, next year you can eat the food you grow yourself."

Although I haven't seen what the master is painting yet, Gui Yi's confidence is greatly increased after hearing what he said, and he smiled at Jia Daihua and said, "It's too late for this Zhuangzi to start. If he had done it earlier Being able to grow some buckwheat doesn’t depend entirely on purchased grain.”

But Jia Daihua had other worries in his heart: "Yulin is close to Xiqiang. They produce cattle and sheep. You might as well buy some. Those children want to practice martial arts, and they can't stand it if they only eat thick porridge."

"Master?" Gui Yi was terrified. Since the founding of the Qian Dynasty, the border has always been closed. Once someone is found to be trading with foreigners, he will be punished as collaborating with the enemy.As the Northwest Guard General, my master is not ignorant of this truth.

Jia Daihua knew what he was going to say, and shook his head directly: "Don't panic, there have always been some people in the frontier who secretly traded with the Xiqiang people, but the amount was small to keep the government from knowing. You can buy from those who do business with the Xiqiang people." , it’s best to open up business routes by yourself.” It’s not easy to defeat these aliens militarily, but it’s not impossible to control them economically.

Guiyi still had concerns, but Jia Daihua dispelled his worries with a few words: "You can only use silver when buying and selling with Xiqiang, and you can't use iron or grain. In this way, the silver of Xiqiang will cost you more money." Spending money in the Central Plains is not considered an enemy.”

It's a bit far-fetched to say so, but Jia Daihua doesn't want to explain too much to Guiyi.Next year, he plans to buy wool from Xiqiang, let those officers and men's families spin it into wool and make finished products, and then sell it back to Xiqiang. In this way, the money Xiqiang got from Guiyi this year will definitely not be enough to buy what they look like. Luxury.Slowly transport the tea leaves and coarse porcelain that the Central Plains despise to Xiqiang to Xiqiang, and only let them exchange cattle and sheep, and Zhuangzi will become richer and richer, while Xiqiang will become more and more dependent on Zhuangzi.

In a few years, Zhuangzi should have the final say on what to raise and what not to raise in Xiqiang, and Zhuangzi can not only be self-sufficient, but also distribute money to support the rest of the Zhuangzi.

As for whether other Zhuangzi can do the same, it all depends on whether the experiment in Xiqiang is successful or not.

Jia Daihua himself was confident, Jiao Da was a blind follower, and Gui Yi had already begun to think about where people like himself should open up the trade route to Xiqiang.

"Master, Feng Tang, the guard of Yulin, is a side branch of the Empress Yuan's natal family, and has always been somewhat fond of money." These things were the first things Guiyi wanted to inquire about after arriving in Yulin.

It's really where we don't meet each other in life.Jia Daihua felt that he and Feng Tang really had a destiny. This person was an acquaintance he had met in several lifetimes, and he was also the one who stood by and watched him during the Beirong battle.It is undoubtedly a good idea to open the gap from him, and it is undoubtedly a good idea to be found to be responsible for Feng Tang in the future.

"Well, Feng Tang loves money, and you spend money to buy peace. Pay attention to getting along with him, and it's best for everyone to know that he is protecting you." Jia Daihua ordered.

Next, Jia Daihua, accompanied by Guiyi, watched the children's training.It has to be said that the dead soldiers are still very good at training, but in Jia Daihua's view, they pay too much attention to individual ability and lack the awareness of team fighting.

"It's not good to train like this." He immediately denied Zhuangzi's training results, making Guiyi's face look ashamed: "Return to master, the younger ones are taught by the master, so teach these children."

This is really my own negligence. Although the difference between a soldier and a dead soldier is only one word, the content of the training is very different.Jia Daihua had to live in Zhuangzi for a few days. He tried his best to recall and recall the military documentaries he had seen in modern times, wrote a thin booklet, and left it to Guiyi: "First follow the instructions above, I will write to you in detail when I return to the northwest camp."

In fact, there is nothing new in the brochure, but how to change the formation, how to cooperate with each other, and how to keep the formation in a large-scale battle. This has already made Gui's eyes shine, and he feels that his master is worthy of being 20 The undefeated god of war.

That's right, after such a long period of deliberate promotion, Jia Daihua's deeds have almost spread throughout the entire territory of the Qian Dynasty. Even the Guizi generation who lived in a remote place in Yulin heard about it in a teahouse when they went out to buy. The legend of their master.

Zhuangzi's affairs happened, Jia Daihua took Jiao Da, caught up with the large army at the border of Liangzhou, and sat in the carriage again.With the power of the soul, the spy in charge of monitoring Jia Daihua didn't find out that the master had changed at all, and the news sent back to Beijing was that Jia Daihua followed the rules all the way.

Liangzhou is only two hundred miles away from the Northwest Camp, and the guard stationed here is named Sun Meng, who is not under the control of the Northwest Camp, but under the control of the Governor of Gansu.This is also a person who is wise and safe when fighting against Beirong. Jia Daihua told Jiao Da: "Go and meet Sun Meng."

This person's surname was Sun, and he appeared in a place close to the northwest camp. Jia Daihua speculated that this person should have some relationship with the Zhongshan wolf.It's still very early before the opening of the Red Chamber, and Zhongshan Wolf Jia Daihua won't be able to see him anymore, so let's just meet this Sun Meng who has something to do with the Rongguo Mansion.

"Northwest guard, Uncle Ning Yuan pays a visit to General Sun of Liangzhou's defender." Jiao Da shouted directly outside the Liangzhou barracks.The battalion guards heard his call, and hurried forward to salute their subordinates: "Uncle Ning Yuan please wait, I have already gone to invite General Sun."

Jiao Da turned his nostrils to the sky: "Our uncle is waiting here." After speaking, he took a chair from the carriage and invited Jia Daihua to sit down.

Jia Daihua sat leisurely on a chair, and his soul force had already been put into the barracks. When a man in the big tent of the Chinese army heard the report from the small school, he asked the people around him in puzzlement, "How did Uncle Ning Yuan get to my place?" Is the camp coming?"

The man dressed as a counselor next to him said: "I have no way of knowing, the general should greet you quickly. I heard that Uncle Ning Yuan is the sanctuary for the cultivation of the mind, and he can enter whenever he wants, without waiting."

"These are just things that everyone praises, why bother putting money on other people's faces." The man with the wheel should be Sun Meng, and there was not much respect in what he said.

The counselor also laughed: "Uncle Ning Yuan is famous far and wide now, even a sage should treat him with courtesy, the general's posture should be lowered, and nothing will be lost."

Sun Meng laughed when he heard this: "Don't worry, I can still do this idea." He changed his official robes and asked the generals of Qi to meet Jia Daihua at the gate of the camp.When they were about twenty steps away from the gate of the camp, Jia Daihua got up, patted the wrinkles on his body, and turned to look at the dozen or so people who came over.

The official robes are also bright, and all of them have ruddy complexions. It can be seen that Beirong has not violated the border by this time this year, and these people are living a very nourishing life.As soon as they moisturized, Jia Daihua had some thoughts in his heart, but there was a smile on his face.

"I don't know that Uncle Ning Yuan has come here, and he will be disappointed in the end. Please forgive me, Uncle Ning Yuan." As soon as Sun Meng met, he performed the ceremony of being introduced by his subordinates, showing full face.When the people he brought saw him, they all saluted Jia Daihua as a subordinate. Jia Daihua, with a complacent expression on his face, asked everyone to stand up: "You are welcome, General Sun. You and I will guard the northwest defense line together. We will live and die together." Depending on each other, there is no need to perform such a great gift."

Sun Meng's gaze just shrank, and when he lowered his head and stood up, he retracted it, completely unaware that his every move was being watched by Jia Daihua.The other generals were not as calm as Sun Meng, and they all felt that Jia Daihua was a little too big, what's the use of talking nicely, when everyone saluted, didn't they just accept it in a big way?

Obviously, he didn't take the people from Liangzhou seriously.Therefore, there is more or less resentment on the face.

Jia Daihua acted as if he hadn't seen the expressions of the generals, he took a step forward and said to Sun Meng, "I've always heard that Liangzhou's soldiers are strong and strong, but it's a pity that I didn't get to see General Sun's majesty in the last battle."

The words were polite, but there was a sense of guilt in them.Rao is Sun Meng who is good at lowering his figure, and he didn't expect Jia Daihua to insinuate that the Liangzhou army and horses refused to save the Northwest Army when they met.

"Uncle Ning Yuan loves you." Sun Meng laughed: "The general knows that he is not good at learning, so he dare not fight in front of Uncle Ning Yuan."

He was still able to play haha, and the faces of the Liangzhou generals who followed were a little brighter: as a military general, he knew the truth of raising troops for a thousand days and using them for a short time, and he also understood that only by cooperating with the enemy can all the troops guarding the frontier fight against the enemy in order to protect the country for a long time .It's not that the Northwest Army didn't send someone to ask for help from the Liangzhou Army last time, but the Liangzhou Army didn't send their horses, and they did it very dishonestly.

Everyone had an idea in their hearts, that is, Jia Daihua came here to ask the Liangzhou Army for an explanation.Several people felt that it was kind of him to come to ask for an explanation in person. You must know that Jia Daihua came back from the middle of Beijing, and he really sued the Liangzhou army when he met Sheng, so they don't have to come to greet him now.

No wonder Jia Daihua accepted the gift just now so calmly, he has the confidence in his heart!Those who thought this way all lowered their heads in shame, and distanced themselves from Jia Daihua and Sun Meng.

Sun Meng, who was walking ahead with Jia Daihua, couldn't see the movements of those people. He greeted Jia Daihua's counselors together, but he clearly remembered the retreating generals, thinking that he would remind the general later, so as not to The hearts of Liangzhou generals were divided by Jia Daihua.

The counselor made a note of those who retreated, and Jia Daihua also made a note. He suddenly turned his head and looked back, then casually turned his head and continued to go to the camp with Sun Meng.

Along the way, I also asked about the situation of soldiers and horses in Liangzhou, and also asked whether the food and grass in the court were in place.

Sun Meng also sighed: "The officers and gentlemen of the Ministry of War, how do you know the hardships of us soldiers. Uncle Ning Yuan, please." He opened the curtain and invited Jia Daihua to enter.

I don't know how many disturbances will be caused once the Chinese military account enters.
