Chapter 118: People from Bashu(1/2)
Tang Li said this, it’s really not a bragging thing.
Although Liu Kan did not come to Lou Cang for a long time, it only took half a year to count by fingers. However, the oscillations caused by him in this half year may be something that many people will never be able to do in their entire lives.
The Lou Cang people were afraid of Liu Kan, and at the same time they liked this local rich man who was not old but rich and generous. The iron-blooded means and generous temperament were intertwined, forming a very strange charm that attracted people around them.
Moreover, Liu Kan's farm, which is located next to Gaogang, faintly formed a villa in the building and warehouse courtyard, has been planned and groundbreaking at any time.
The villa is said to have consumed 300 taels of gold, which is an astronomical figure in the eyes of Louting people.
At the same time, the overall urban construction of the building warehouse will also start together. Unlike corvee labor, those who participate in the building warehouse construction do not force the work, but sign up to join according to their respective situations. Moreover, building warehouses does not work freely. The construction site will guarantee a lunch, and according to their respective work, you can get three to one bucket of coarse millet. This really touched many people.
Many families on the water, even some women, children, elderly and weak, are looking forward to the arrival of this day.
Especially those elderly people who are unable to engage in farm work due to their age or physical inconvenience are also excited to join in.
Therefore, when Liu Kan tied everyone together with his interests, his prestige in Lou Cang gradually increased.
It is indeed very safe for Zhang Cang to live here.
Of course, there is a prerequisite for this, that is, Liu Kan must agree.
In Tang Li's opinion, Liu Kan would definitely not refuse. In fact, Liu Kan did not refuse, but just smiled bitterly in his heart.
There was a Liu Ju earlier, but now there is another Zhang Cang...
If this continues, it won't take long to make me afraid that I will become a fugitive shelter.
I hope Ying Zhuang will leave Tong County earlier. If he comes to inspect and see Zhang Cang, he will be guilty.
Liu Kan agreed to Zhang Cang stay, but he did not agree that he lived in the official office.
"A Kan, Mr. Zhang is a famous scholar. How can you let him guard the granary?"
After hearing Liu Kan's arrangement, whether it was Tang Li or Chen Yi, they all showed anger of liberation.
Liu Kan was also angry: "Let him stay in the official office? Lao Tang, do you know how many people are coming and going in and out of this official office every day? How many officials are there between Xianyang and south of Huaihan? Not to mention anything else, since I have taken the safety of the food routes on the Huaihan line of Lou Cang, only the Sishui County will be in a constant stream. Do you dare to guarantee that those officials who come and go do not know the gentleman?
OK, if you can guarantee it, I will keep him.
It's amazing that I've been discovered. Everyone will be held to death. You can think about it yourself."
After Liu Kan finished speaking, she left with her sleeves.
Tang Li stood in the courtyard stupidly and couldn't speak for a long time.
Kuai Che sighed and walked up to take a photo of Tang Li, "Old Tang, the boss's arrangements are all for the sake of the teacher's good. Lao Zhou is staring at the granary side. The teacher pretended to be a minor official there, and was not noticed by people at all, and was even safer than in the people.
Think about it, officials from all over the country will be escorted to the official office.
Before they enter the city, we will take over the baggage. After the inventory is completed, we will go directly to the warehouse for review. Who can find out about this?
You've said a little bit."
Tang Li and Chen Yi lowered their heads in shame...
After Kuai Che left, Zhang Cang walked forward and whispered: "Tang Li, Yi... You must first understand one thing now.
Lord Cang Ling is your superior. Just like Li said, he is the master of this Lou Cang.
Before, when Li Qian made a decision, the adults might not take it seriously. But his authority will be dispersed because of your behavior. No matter what the reason was, whether it was friendship or fame or wealth, but now, you must remember: the adults are officials of the court and they are your superiors. Even if it is you... Chen Yi, you can no longer look at him from the perspective of the past.
I am now over forty years and I am well-informed.
I have seen many people who were good friends at the beginning, but they were rich but could not get the right position. In the end, they parted ways and became strangers. Lord Kurara is a capable and ambitious person. I really don’t want you to turn against him in the end.”
Location!
This is something that Tang Li had never thought of before.
In his eyes, Liu Kan is very outstanding. But no matter how outstanding it is, he is his friend, the confused little brother at the time.
As he walked step by step, Liu Kan was changing, and Tang Li was changing. But at this stage, he had not yet discovered it.
After all, Tang Li is now just a young boy in his early twenties.
Although his family's origins are not very profound after all. Whether it is compared with Kuai Che, Cheng Miao, or even Cao Shen, who is the same age as him, Tang Li did not see thoroughly in some things because of the starting point. But Zhang Cang saw it.
He pointed him gently and walked out of court.
Outside, Cheng Miao was already waiting for him. The two walked side by side and walked towards Gaogang.
On this day, whether it was Tang Li, Liu Kan, or even Chen Yi, they all acted very silent.
"Akan, I want to go out for a walk."
The next morning, Tang Li found Liu Kan.
"Go out for a walk? Old Tang, do you want to... I was also angry yesterday. Don't take it to your heart, I didn't blame you."
Tang Li shook his head and smiled, "Of course I know you didn't blame you, and I know that you were angry not because of me, but because Lord Ren left and was in a bad mood. I want to go out for a walk, not because of yesterday's incident... I want to go out to see it.
I have read enough books.
But I know too little about people, I can't compare with Lao Kuai, Lao Cao, and even you.
I told Chen Yi that following his caravan will increase your knowledge and broaden your horizons. When we were in Pei County earlier, Aqi said to me. He said that I had learned enough, but if I had a good understanding of the world, I might not even be as good as him.
I will definitely come back from five to seven years or at least three to two years.”
Liu Kan was speechless.
After a while, he stepped forward and hugged Tang Li, "Old Tang, since you have this heart, I won't stop you. You are a scholar and you are alone, so you should take care of yourself. Although holding my talisman is useless, you may be able to avoid some trouble.
Let’s prepare for it. I’ll ask someone to go to Pei County and find Wushang and Brother Qi. We’ll leave after we get together.
In short, there is a saying: There are friends in the sea, and they are like neighbors in the world. When you want to go home, this Lou Cang is your home, and you are my Liu Kan’s brother.”
If Liu Kan had spoken this poem in the past, Tang Li would have been scolded for not following the rules.
But this time, Tang Li didn't say anything.
The next day, Liu Kanchen finished his exercise and was about to go out to do business.
But when Cao Shen ran over hurriedly, he said as soon as he saw Liu Kan, "A Kan, Lao Tang is gone!"
"Leave?"
Liu Kan immediately became anxious, "Didn't you agree to wait for Brother Qi and the others to come? I'm just about to send someone over, why did he leave? He left alone?"
Cao Shen said: "No, I set out with Chen Yi."
"Chen Yi is also gone? Aren't he still watching the construction of the farm here?"
"No, Chen Yi said that you will be the one who decides this matter. He believes that you will not harm him. Also, when Lao Tang left, let me give this to you."
Cao Shen said, and handed a package to Liu Kan.
There is a book silhouette inside, and a wooden silhouette is also pressed on it.
The wooden silhouette is the heart that Tang Li gave to Liu Kan, which roughly means: I have a confidant in the sea, and I am a neighbor. A Kan, I have recorded it... Don't worry, I will definitely come back because you and I are brothers. The silhouette is a gift from Wei Liao, the Wei of the Great Qin State, to my grandfather before he retired. It is also his lifelong hard work. Now I will give it to you for the time being and keep it for me... I will pay it back to me when I come back.
Liu Kan closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
Tang Li has already begun to find his own path...
For the next period of time, Liu Kan was a little depressed.
First it was Ren Xiao, then it was Tang Li.
One is the elder who cared for him and gave him a lot of help; the other is his earliest friend after he came to this world. Now, he has left!
Liu Kan felt an inexplicable loneliness, and was powerless in everything he did.
Either practice martial arts desperately or take a walk on a red rabbit. At night, I sat alone under the oil lamp and quietly read the wooden slips.
This wooden slip is also the "Wei Liaozi" circulated in later generations.
Compared to Wei Liaozi, whom Liu Kan saw in his previous life, the wooden slip in Liu Kan's hand was more complete.
From military affairs to political affairs, all of them revealed the thoughts of Wei Liaozi in the lines. To be precise, Wei Liaozi was not a simple military book. In later generations, because the Song people included this book in the "Seven Books of the Martial Classics", they regarded this masterpiece as a military book.
"Wei Liaozi" belongs to the miscellaneous family.
At the same time, it combines the theories of Confucianism, Mohism, name, law, and military, forming a unique system. Fundamentally speaking, "Wei Liaozi" is based on "Shang Jun Book" and although it involves military tactics, it also covers all aspects of politics and economy, which is quite extensive.
Volume 31 of 5, namely, Tianguan, military talk, system talk, strategy and attack power.
Liu Kan read it very carefully and experienced it seriously. He did read this book in his previous life, but it was the first time he experienced it with such a careful understanding.
In this way, it took more than a month without realizing it.
The second batch of immigrants was entrusted by Luoyang, the Qian family and Xincheng, and arrived at Lou Cang.
When they set out, they counted about 1,100 people when they arrived at Lou Cang, and a total of 1,048 people were counted. In addition to the first batch of immigrants, the original residents of Lou Ting, the small Lou Cang, there were nearly 3,000 residents in a blink of an eye. The third batch of immigrants, 300 households and 1,700 people, were conquered from Yiqu, Guanzhong, and now they have gone east to Hangu Pass and arrived in Gucheng. According to the officials who were escorting, they will arrive at Lou Cang in forty days.
If this batch of immigrants is added, the total number of people in the building warehouse will exceed 5,000.
When the second batch of immigrants arrived, the farming season had passed. But there was no need to worry, Liu Kan first allocated land to wait for the spring plowing next year. Then, using this second batch of immigrants to officially start building the building warehouse. As well as the locals, nearly a thousand people became busy at the same time.
Some people accompanied Xiangqiang to repair the embankment, while others began to build city walls and farmlands.
At the same time, Ying Zhuang returned to Xiang County and transferred 400 regular soldiers as the basis of the Loucang Guards. In other words, Liu Kan had to recruit 400 people.
Liu Kan did not interfere in the recruitment of the Lou Cang Guards, but handed over to Guan Ying to handle it.
To be continued...
