(I saw another comment about flying with a million words. Sorry to the Southern Dynasty. If it goes well, it will be over one million in March!)

Chen Sanlang did not leave Meihua Valley, so of course he would not leave without his own hands.

The situation in Plum Blossom Valley is a bit special, not as simple as an ordinary hermit, but is based on the Plum Blossom Society and forms a whole, like an institution.

In the general sense, the hermits lived in a hut and had only three or five servants. The real hermit was only one person, and if he did his job, he would be considered to have completed his tasks.

But now in the Plum Blossom Valley, there are dozens of people who can be called scholars. They gather together and live in various relationships with each other. Some make friends in the world, some are distant relatives, and some make friends with Qin and Jin...

If there is a relationship, there will be a conflict. No matter which family, it is difficult to make a unilateral decision. Because they have already agreed to unite and echo each other. If there is something, be sure to get together first, discuss and discuss, and then make the charter.

Now that Chen Sanlang comes to invite someone out of the mountain, it is a big deal and involves a lot.

In fact, it is to convince people. If it is relatively easy to convince someone, it is quite difficult to convince a group of people.

This is still a large group of experienced and famous intellectuals, and it is even more difficult.

So far, Chen Sanlang really spent his time recruiting only Zhou Jiancao. Zhou Hezhi and Song Zhiyuan were both forced by the situation, so naturally they didn't have to spend much verbal effort. Zhou Jiancao also visited the door twice before he persuaded him and followed him to Jingxian.

Gathering people is never an easy task. But many things must be gathered first before they can be accomplished.

To be honest, Chen Sanlang's situation is not much better than when he was in Jingxian. The position of Jingxian County Magistrate is justified, with a bonus for imperial destiny, and a sword of Shangfang. But his identity is a bit awkward. From the perspective of the official side, he has always been a little unclear when he left Jingxian. Normal procedures, the next step of the charter should be to go to Beijing to state the process, and then the court decides it.

But he was fine. He turned a corner, ran to Yongzhou, and occupied a palace, which seemed intriguing.

Although the court is willing to treat Yongzhou by itself, as long as it takes up a place and submits memorials, it can become an official. The problem is that Chen Sanlang's identity is sensitive. The current emperor is seriously ill and difficult to manage the affairs, which becomes mysterious. If the court approved Chen Sanlang's official position, it would be like a head start. If other state officials also came to Yongzhou, what should they do?

This is not impossible.

Another deep reason is that the court's attitude towards Chen Sanlang will act according to the face of Yuan Wenchang in Yangzhou?

Shi Pojun has rebelled. At this critical moment, if Yuan Wenchang is unhappy and rebels will rise, who can bear this responsibility?

In contrast, it is not unacceptable to sacrifice Chen Sanlang for the sake of national justice and taking into account the overall situation.

This is one of the main reasons why Chen Sanlang decided not to go to Zhongzhou and enter the capital. He did not want to hand over his wealth and life to others for trial. Whether he went to Zhongzhou, defected to Li Hengwei, or entered the capital, and met the emperor, as long as he passed, he would lose his right to be independent.

Only by turning the road into Yongzhou is the best choice. Just like a bird leaves the cage and a fish swims in the sea. At least until now, it has proved that his choice is right.

Choice is really unpredictable.

Now, it depends on the choice of the people in the Plum Blossom Club.

Chen Sanlang carried his hands on his back and walked around the valley. The personal soldiers followed him and had already handed over part of the gift box he carried to Lu Jing. There were still a lot left, it depends on whether there were other suitable people to send it out.

The Plum Blossom Valley is not big. Wherever they went, they attracted a lot of people to watch, whisper and discuss.

It can be seen that these people have moved into the valley for a while, and many places have opened up land and planted vegetables; some places have also built fences, which have pigs, sheep, and even cattle.

Chen Sanlang is standing next to the cow pen now, looking at the fat buffalo.

Outside the Plum Blossom Valley, grass is everywhere and it is very lush. Cooking cattle has good natural conditions.

When I was just looking for Lu Qingyuan, I saw some fields outside the valley and plant crops. But obviously, if the crops in the mountains are not suitable for the season, the harvest will be destined to be thin.

In a puzzled gaze, Chen Sanlang looked at the cow quietly, as if he was admiring a wonderful work of art.

What can I see in a cow?

Not only the people from Plum Blossom Valley, but even the subordinates who followed Chen Sanlang, found it difficult to understand. Or, this is the first time Chen Sanlang saw a cow, so he felt curious and fresh?

After almost half of the incense stick, Chen Sanlang moved away and went somewhere else without any satisfaction.

Suddenly, he stopped and looked at someone.

This man was digging a piece of soil, which was very difficult, and it seemed that he could not dig the ground, and his movements were very unfamiliar, even clumsy and twisted. Just after he moved the hoe a few times, he was sweating heavily and gasping for breath on the handle of the hoe.

When Chen Sanlang saw him walking, he immediately realized that the man was still a cripple, with his left leg broken and unable to exert force, so he could barely drag him to walk.

When Chen Sanlang saw this, he couldn't help but sigh with regret. This person's face is elegant and must be a scholar. From writing and writing to waving a hoe, it was a huge change.

Xia Yu's dynasty was established for two hundred years, and he valued literature over military affairs. Over time, he raised many scholars who were not diligent in five bodies. Not only were they weak in their bodies, but they were also stubborn in their minds. They believed that "all things are inferior, but only high in their studies." Therefore, they always tried their best to take the exam until they passed the exam. Even if their family was in decline and their fame was hopeless, they still couldn't put down their airs and would not put down their posture to make a living.

It's so pedantic.

In Chen Sanlang's opinion, the person in front of him was really rare. It's a pity that he was disabled and would be inconvenient no matter what he did.

Dongdongdongdongdongdong!

A servant walked over quickly, came to Chen Sanlang, bent down and said respectfully: "Young Master Chen, my master invites you to the house for a banquet."

This is a servant of the Lu family.

Before he knew it, it was almost noon and Lu Jing asked someone to prepare wine and food and wanted to have a big banquet.

Chen Sanlang replied: "Okay, I'll go now."

The servant did not leave immediately, and shouted to the lame man: "Guo Jinshi, the master has given him instructions, please come too."

Guo Jinshi?

Chen Sanlang was stunned and went to see him again. He didn't expect that this was a Jinshi, which was even more rare.

There are many scholars in the world, but there are very few Jinshi. Obtaining the Jinshi fame is equivalent to reaching the top. Having such fame is equivalent to having an official hat on the head. Except for a very few cases, most Jinshi can live well.

Now Guo Jinshi's clothes have been patched, and he has to drag his lame legs to the field to farm. There is no doubt that he must have encountered disasters in the war and fell to this point.

I heard Lu Jing say that there were three Jinshi in the valley, one Lu Qingyuan, and the second one, it should be this Guo Jinshi.
Chapter completed!
