Chapter 270: All Plants, Bamboos, and Stones Can Be a Piano
Before setting out on the trip to Jingzhou, Li Su had to take a few days to prepare, so after seeing Liu Bei off that day, he immediately began to arrange it separately.
First of all, that night, he wrote a secret letter, asking the secret envoy to send it to Cai Yong's mansion in Jiangzhou in an expedition, and asked Cai Yong to convey it to Wang Can, who was studying with him. He immediately sorted out the contents of the first volume of "The Legend of Heroes", and then stuffed Liu Bei's deeds in the past year according to the outline given by Li Su.
Li Su issued a deadly order to urge the update, and the update must be completed within five days, and then the engraving plate of the Zhen family's printing shop was delivered. When he arrived in Jiangzhou, he had to see the engraving plate was completed. When he read it himself, he had to print it out and take it away.
This is actually risky, because if Li Su needs to be modified, he may need to adjust the board. The whole piece of carving is not as easy to modify as movable type. He can only hollow out a few pieces and fill it with other carved wood. He can only do it with masters with good carpenter skills. But who asked Li Su to make it happen. He could only strictly order Wang Can to check more, don’t make low-level literal mistakes, and try not to change the others.
After sending the letter out, Li Su had to ask Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and the Zhen family, Zhuge family around Chengdu for two or three days. They would first borrow thousands of wide Shu brocades by verbal white strips and pretend to go to Jingzhou to sell them, but in fact, they found a large warehouse in the fiefdom of Pi County and hid the main part of the cellar. Note that the verbal white strips would not even be left behind.
Because Li Su's purpose is to keep it as confidential as possible, and the best way to keep it confidential is to even hide it for two or three months. If he doesn't leave an IOU, it will not lead to their mutual understanding.
In this way, the shipments of all major brocade manufacturers have dropped significantly in the past three months. Even if the outside world hears a little news, it is known that a small batch of Shu brocade was taken to Jingzhou by Li Su, but no one will know how much total he borrowed, and he can continue to underestimate the output.
When financial information was not connected to the Internet in the early 21st century, all deadbeats could repeatedly mortgage loan fraud to deceive banks risk control, let alone the end of the Han Dynasty. However, Li Su didn't want to be a deadbeat, he was purely a lie for his comrades-in-arms.
In addition, there are some preparations for rectifying the personal guards and allocating some military supplies. Li Su did not intend to bring too many soldiers to support Zhao Yun, and no more than three thousand soldiers, including the security forces.
Because Li Su knew that morale and expense were a big problem for letting Yizhou soldiers go to Jingzhou to garrison for many years. In addition to elite combat soldiers, it is best to use local garrison forces with a large number of people.
Especially Jingzhou needs naval troops, while the barbarian soldiers of various tribes, which account for a considerable number of Yizhou's military sources, cannot fight in water. They must use Han soldiers. It is better not to serve thousands of miles away and waste the people and money.
Li Su just hoped to transfer Zhou Tai, Gan Ning and other naval generals who had nothing to do in Yizhou, and then give them a batch of weapons, and then train the locals on the spot after they arrived in Jingzhou.
These tasks are like raising Shu brocade. They must be completed within four or five days, and then set off by boat.
...
The next morning, after Li Su's secret letter was sent away by the messenger, he issued several orders in the morning and arranged the last two things (the dispatch of Gan Ning and Zhou Tai were dispatched by Liu Bei's king order, and Li Su had no right to directly dispatch troops)
He was idle and thought that he should appease his wife Cai Yan.
The year before yesterday, I was on a business trip for nearly a whole year. When I returned to Chengdu last fall, Cai Yan complained a lot, saying that I refused to take her out for a long trip.
But this time, because of the connection time, it was only three months in total.
Go to Jingzhou quickly. You can reach Jiangzhou in four days by waterway in Chengdu, Yong'an in seven days, and then "a thousand miles of Jiangling return in one day", and you can definitely reach Baqiu in Changsha on the tenth day. It will take at least half a month to come back. So it only takes two months to live in Jingzhou.
Li Su felt sorry for his wife's hard work, so she didn't want to take her. However, with the bad record of business trips two years ago, Li Su's credit value was reduced too low in his wife's position. He knew that he had to find a way to please him to stabilize the rear and make her believe that this time "I really only lived for two months and came back."
"How can I make Yan'er happy and let her not get entangled? She likes poetry and prose music. Why don't she copy one or two poems about love, petting poems from later generations? Anyway, we don't plan to let these poems spread and produce poetry collections. It's not a cliché to coax women in the harem. If it really doesn't work, it's better to make some Chinese-style music from future generations and pretend to have a new compilation for her."
Li Su wandered around her yard for a while, and for the time being, she only thought about these ways to deal with the work.
I was really afraid of anything I was going to do. Li Su just chanted in the garden and Cai Yan came in a bright gauze dressed in summer. Cai Yan asked with a smile:
"Husband, are you going to Jiangzhou recently? I see that you sent Cai Wu to deliver a letter to my father this morning, and said that you would have to accept it in some days. Could it be that you want to live back to Jiangzhou for a while? It just so happened that I haven't seen my father for a long time, let's go together."
The one who sent Li Su to deliver the letter to Cai Yong was of course the slave Cai Yan brought when she married, so it was definitely impossible to hide his lady from her trip. Cai Wu just didn't open the content of the secret letter and didn't tell Cai Yan what Li Su was going to do.
Li Su had long expected that his wife would know that he would go out, but she didn't expect that it would be so fast.
He had to hurry up and learn to make up his mind, regardless of whether he had used similar sentences: "Oh, my husband can understand it at this moment: the young woman in the boudoir does not know how to be sad. She put on the spring dress and went up the green building. Suddenly, she saw the willows on the street, and regretted asking her husband to find a title.
As the right general of the court, I am naturally inevitable to work hard on state affairs. I may indeed have to go to Jiangzhou in a while, so it is better to take you to your father-in-law’s place for a while..."
Li Su didn't let his wife travel thousands of miles away from the Three Gorges, but he took a boat to relax for hundreds of miles. He still couldn't stop reuniting with her father for a few days, so he just thought it was a medium- and short-distance trip.
It is April now, and it is actually early summer, but it is not wrong to say "spring makeup".
After hearing this, Cai Yan felt a lingering feeling in his heart. He suddenly felt that many grievances became like silk threads, like clouds and mist, dissipated and unpredictable, but they did not really dissipate.
After a few seconds of stammering, Cai Yan came over and pulled his husband's sleeve timidly: "You said 'It's better to stay for a while'. Then you must have to run around again after arriving in Jiangzhou. Maybe you can't take me?"
Li Su quickly turned around: "It's because things are not yet finalized. It will take a few days to prepare well. I will only know before I set off, but it's just based on the king's order. As long as you are not dangerous and tired, you must take you. It's not that you are weak and you are not unaware. Be good, let's talk about it when you arrive in Jiangzhou.
Moreover, in Pi County, the Hou Mansion cannot be watched without anyone. If a visitor from the King or Ziyu family comes to visit, you should also help me. I have recently entered a batch of Shujin borrowed verbally. Don’t care how many there are, as long as outsiders are not allowed to enter the treasury of our Hou Mansion. If no one keeps a person, the friends who borrow our things will be worried. Maybe they have to come to inquire about the news from time to time, which is not beautiful."
After hearing that my husband made it clear that he would take her to Jiangzhou first, Cai Yan's inner worries were temporarily delayed. After all, there was nothing to be coquettish now, so let's talk about it if there was a result.
Li Su's concerns are indeed very reasonable. He is suspected of "borrowing tens of thousands of pieces of brocade and fleeing with money". Although everyone knows that the identity of the Right General cannot be a deadbeat, if he leaves with his wife, it will be several months in a row, and others will definitely be confused in their hearts.
Even if Zhuge Jin and Zhang Fei would not be confused, what about the women in their family? Although it is not that women have long hair and short knowledge, most women in the late Han Dynasty did not study much and did not understand the government affairs. They knew that their family had a large amount of wealth and had borrowed money for a long time, and they could not see the wife of the borrower for a long time. They could not have had afternoon tea together, and they could easily think of it and spread it randomly.
Li Su needs Cai Yan to calm people down in the back. With Cai Yan here, it is better to make an appointment for the time, "only see one creditor at a time". To avoid creditors having no way to ask for a meeting, they come to sit in a day, and in the end, it will be bad. It is better to be distracted than to be blocked.
...
After persuading Cai Yan away, Li Su continued to quickly handle the work of borrowing brothels and soldiers and generals, and he was also surprised within a day or two. Then he was waiting for the specific staff in charge of the warehouse and military supplies to recover. Li Su had a last one or two days before officially leaving.
That evening, after the busy schedule, Li Su breathed a sigh of relief. She took another bath to relieve her fatigue, and then remembered the specific tricks to coax and spoil her wife.
When taking a bath, he found Jinse outside to play soothing and relaxing music through the curtains. So after changing his clothes, he waved his hand and greeted Jinse into the study and asked her something: "Jinse, since you are good at drums and sir, you may be able to record scores when you listen to people singing?"
Jinse was slightly surprised: "Of course, it is possible, but with a wife in front of her, how dare I show off my skills in this mansion?"
Nowadays, the most famous skill of listening to music is Cai Yong and Cai Yan, father and daughter. Cai Yan's talent for ear sound is extraordinary, which is a food for God. So Jinse didn't want to steal the opportunity to show his wife in front of his master, so as not to be suspicious.
Li Su smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I just want to give my wife a surprise and show her feelings, so it's not convenient for her to record the song. This song is inspired by my own chanting, and it may not be in tune. I don't know how to listen to the recording, so I want to make it perfect. I also learn how to play it roughly and let her know."
Jinse Yingying thanked: "For this reason, I thanked Mr. I appreciate it. Please sing."
Jinse was not curious about why Li Su looked for her, because she knew that although Xiu Se was weak and submissive, she was still quite persistent in art. She never touched vulgar tunes and only played elegant music. Li Su was not very elegant, and she probably had the things she hummed was vulgar.
Jinse is a typical example of being careless and not being confused about major issues. If you ask her to play an unsavory little song, she also agrees, but when she forces her to tell her about her family background, she doesn't want to say it, but she can always resolve it with softness and hardness.
Li Su went out and looked at it to make sure Cai Yan was not there. Then he closed the door, ensured sound insulation, and then started singing.
Li Su was born in the 1980s in his previous life, so he was most familiar with and best at humming, of course, Jay Chou’s Chinese-style songs, which are easily disguised as ancient music. But after thinking about it, Jay Chou’s songs are too unsuitable for people in the world of fame and fortune to show their feelings, "pretending to be idle, wild cranes", so Li Su decided to sing something more in line with his identity.
"It cannot tell the extravagant love in the world, and it cannot tell the grudges in the world..."
"Life is just a few short autumns, I won't stop until I get drunk. My beauty in the east, the Yellow River in the west..."

When Jinse first heard the beginning, she was not surprised at all.
Because the first two sentences are simple continuous climbing and Gongtu strings, and the end of the sentence is slightly turned and falls back, and there is not even a jump sound. At first glance, it is a beginner who is not at the level of composition. (You can look at the simplified score of "Love the Mountain and Love the Beauty". The beginning part is the 12356 verse note, because the two semitones of 47 do not count as the ancient sound, and Gongshang Jiao Zhengyu corresponds to 12356)
In other words, the song "Love the Country and Love Beauty" is just the first two sentences, which are actually the same as the jokes and videos on later generations of Douyin performing "Face Rolling Keyboard/Apple Rolling Keyboard" and playing "A Laugh in the Sea". They can be rolled out, and even the simple operation of "skipping a note when playing" does not require.
How could a master like Jinse be stingy about rolling the keyboard with his face?
But when she heard the ** part, she still sighed leisurely and was moved by the open-mindedness and brilliance.
"The great way is simple, which means that the gentleman is really omnipotent. Although he does not understand music theory, he can use such a vulgar tune to compose a song of ink and spirit. After listening to it, he will definitely be moved. This song can tell the gentleman in detail that he is trapped in the world of fame and fortune, but he is even more willing to give in to his heart."
Li Su sang it three times before Jinse successfully wrote down the score. After writing it, she couldn't help but sigh, and she actually burst into tears.
Jinse wiped his face and cheered up and smiled: "If you don't abandon me, I'll dare to teach you how to play this song."
Li Su was eager to please his wife, so of course he had no choice but to cheer up his spirits and learn.
It's true that he could only sing in his previous life, but he never used Se. Now that he played it himself, he found that the main tune of this song is indeed simple, because Se's basic notation is only 12356, so when he encounters a single note, he just needs to sweep the strings, and he doesn't even need to remember it. After Jinse corrected his fingering and rhythm, he quickly became slightly decent.
However, when Li Su was playing, he still encountered difficulties.
Because the word "drunk" in "I will not stop until I am drunk" and the word "My beauty in the east" are all the sounds of changing the stern that are rarely used when drumming and stern. They are from the sound of sliding the stern to the sound of changing the stern and then sliding back to the stern (that is, from 6 to 7 to 6 and then sliding back to 6). There are only a few ways to make a fuss about the whole song.
The Chinese styles of Jay Chou in later generations, such as the word "lonely" in the last sentence of the Chrysanthemum Platform "I am leaving me alone on the lake", is also a typical example of "A single change of the song is useless, and a change of the ending is used in a high-profile place". This is also a common method to express the lonely and lonely mentality in ancient style.
Li Su could only pluck the strings simply, but of course he couldn't play the change of signs. Jinse had to patiently teach him a few times. When the girl was plucking the strings, she quickly slid the palette under Se to control the vibration length of each string, so that the sound was sliding beautifully between the regular sign and the change of signs.
But this move was too difficult. How could Li Su learn it? He tried it a few times and even knocked down the support board that supported the strings.
"How can I learn this? Forget it, just think I sang the wrong song at the beginning, and use the regular command throughout this song! Or learn how to press the string directly with your fingers and temporarily shorten the length of the string vibration to raise the pitch!
Fix the pillar that sets the strings for me! I don’t believe that I have to move this pillar to fine-tune the pitch!”
When Li Su was anxious, he wanted to use physical means to solve the problem roughly.
He had never seen those middle school physics teachers who were forced to stand on the side by tightening a wire to adjust the vibration length and pop up the "chrysanthemum platform". According to the principles of physics, can we change the pitch just by adjusting the vibration string length?
Moreover, the guzheng guqin videos that later generations watched, weren’t those beauties who played the piano and played the sound change with their hands pressed the strings? They watched more of that kind of videos. The operation of moving the palette has long been outdated, just like no one can play the violin and guitar and adjust the tightness of the strings after halfway.
But Jinse didn't understand physics. She always followed the steps since she was a primary school student. Of course, she didn't know that she could use other methods to temporarily change the pitch of a string.
She just suddenly found it funny because Li Su's angry look happened to hit an idiom allusion that became synonymous with stupidity.
Jinse smiled cutely and said, "Isn't this sir? Isn't this 'Jiaozhu drum ser? The Qi people only learned Zhao Xueqin, and first adjusted the sound of the sound, and returned to Jiaozhu. Therefore, his serpent will never be played with the change of palaces and changes, and it will not be a song for three years."
Li Su was stunned: Damn it! It turns out that this is the case with the rubber guitar. Isn’t it equivalent to later generations who have found a tuner to tune the piano and make sure that they will not change the sound again? Isn’t it equivalent to glue the position of the twisting strings after finding someone to tune the violin guitar?
Of course, it is indeed risky to do this, because the heat expansion and contraction, the length of the strings will change in different seasons and different temperatures. In summer, the sound of the strings will be lowered when the heat is sent, and in winter, the sound of the strings will become higher.
However, Li Su only bounced for the time being, and the weather temperature did not change much in a short period of time, so there is no need to worry at all.
He also discovered that it was precisely because the ancients were too repulsive to the "glue column" and were too obsessed with the transformation of the moving string columns that until the end of the Han Dynasty, those who played the piano and the drums had not learned the simple technique of pressing the strings and changing the sound.
Fortunately, there are only a few notes for a song in the ancient song. If it is like the girls who use modern music to show off their skills, they will not be in a hurry.
Li Su suddenly realized that even though he was a tone blind man like him, he could even pretend to be a little bitch.
He waved his hand generously: "There are orders of hearing the truth, and there are specialties in skills. I am not as good as you in terms of piano skills. I am not as good as you in terms of studying things to know tomorrow's truth. As long as you master the laws of the heavenly sound of all things, why use pillars to change the sound!"
Then Li Su practiced several times and popped up "Love the Country and Love Beauties" in a "glue column" state.
Jinse was dumbfounded: "There is a thing in the world where rubber columns can be accurately changed? Why did I not expect that the Se had been playing for several years? Taishi Gong used this to mock the ancients for being obsessed with it, but with Taishi Gong's knowledge, he did not expect that? Why didn't he learn piano in his early years?"
