Li Shanchang was not well. Didn't he say that Jia Lu besieged Haozhou not long ago? Later, news came out that a hundred thousand troops were scattered. Some people said that Jia Lu died in the army and no body was left.
After hearing the news again, the Yuan Dynasty commemorated this great loyal minister, erected a tomb in his honor, and wrote an emotional eulogy. The family also gave many rewards, which was a great tribute to him.
But this Mr. Jia, who was supposed to be in the grave, actually showed up in Lupai Village in a big way, and he came with Mr. Zhang!
Li Shanchang thought hard but couldn't figure out the reason.
And he also had some strange thoughts, such as Jia Lu faked his death in order to deceive other red scarves. Zhu Yuanzhang was invincible. He should have the support of the imperial court, otherwise where would he have so many armors... Then why would he come to seek refuge?
Didn't you just throw yourself into a trap?
Li Shan's neck was cold, half of his soul was gone, and he almost died of fright!
When he was unconscious, a hoarse voice suddenly appeared behind him.
"Mr. Li, the superior calls you!"
"ah!"
Li Shanchang let out a strange scream, feeling that the sky was falling and his legs were useless, so he fell down... Fortunately, Fei Ju had quick hands and eyes to hold him up.
"Mr. Li, are you sick?"
Li Shanchang grabbed Fei Ju's arm and finally did not fall down, but his hands were shaking violently, his forehead was covered with soybean-sized sweat, and he could not even speak.
Fei Ju couldn't figure out what was going on with this guy. Was he suffering from epilepsy?
Fei Ju was also worried. There has always been a shortage of civilian officials in the army. In the past, there was only one young gentleman. Finally, another one came. Nothing could happen!
In desperation, Fei Ju picked up Li Shanchang on his back and let Shuai Zhang run away... When he ran away, Li Shanchang was frightened... It was over, he couldn't get better, and his head was probably gone!
What does it mean to throw oneself into a trap, what does it mean to tie oneself in a cocoon... I have been smart all my life, but I suddenly got myself into a trap.
What's the difference between digging a hole and jumping into it yourself?
Lao Li regretted it too much.
In the handsome account, Zhu Yuanzhang was chatting and laughing, "Why did you bring Mr. Jia here?"
Zhang Ximeng said: "I heard that my lord captured Donkey Pai Village, opposite Hengjian Mountain. Coincidentally, Zhang, the magistrate of Hengjian Mountain, is a subordinate of Mr. Jia. I thought about asking Mr. Lao for help. It would be best to fight without losing any blood.
Just take Hengjian Mountain. If Dingyuan County falls into our hands, Chuzhou will be within easy reach."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded vigorously. This method was indeed a good one. He turned his attention to Jia Lu.
At this moment, Lao Jia's face was slightly red and he was still thinking.
Zhang Ximeng could naturally see Jia Lu's embarrassment...but he didn't take it seriously. You old guy, you did so many things for Yuan Ting, and you surrounded Haozhou, and you almost starved. In order to save you, I spent a lot of money.
Countless good medicinal herbs.
This is all a price to ask you to come up with some ideas. Why is it so troublesome?
Others care about Jia Lu's identity, but Zhang Ximeng doesn't care. As long as he brings up his uncle and asks if Yuan Ting is still worthy of nostalgia, he can make Jia Lu honest immediately.
Zhang Ximeng really wanted to speak, but unexpectedly Zhu Yuanzhang stopped him.
"I'm not busy with the attack on Hengjian Mountain... Mr. Jia, we have something to ask here." Zhu Yuanzhang explained the method Li Shanchang said. Jia Lu listened carefully. To be fair, he understood this idea very well.
He couldn't help but say: "Can this person work in the Yamen?"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "He is a scribe."
Jia Lu nodded thoughtfully, as expected.
"What do you think he thinks?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
Jia Lu couldn't help but chuckle, "If it weren't for him... this person would be the public's confidant!"
The old man pointed at Zhang Ximeng, meaning that without Zhang Ximeng, Li Shanchang could be reused as a confidant.
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and had an idea in his mind.
After all, the guy surnamed Li has different ideas than him, so it's hard to say whether it can be used.
While Lao Zhu was hesitating, Zhang Ximeng was curious, "Lord, who is this person?"
"My name is Li Shanchang, and he took the initiative to seek refuge in the first two days." Zhu Yuanzhang said it casually, as if it was not worth mentioning... But Zhang Ximeng was shocked when he heard it.
Why is this guy here?
Didn’t he say that he came to seek refuge when he was attacking Chuzhou?
Could it be that he was trying to make Lao Zhu famous, and the commotion became louder, attracting Li Shanchang to him in advance?
How would you rate Li Shanchang?
It seems difficult.
His ending was indeed tragic, and he did have some fatal flaws...but no one could deny that Li Shanchang's administrative ability was too strong.
When Zhu Yuanzhang conquered the world, no matter how many troops he sent or how big the battle was, he almost never lacked food. Even if he fought from Nanjing to Dadu in one go, there was still an abundant supply.
Just from this point, you can see the horror of Li Shanchang.
He is definitely a rare political talent in the world.
As for Li Shanchang's suggestions being different from his, Zhang Ximeng also understood very well. If Li Shanchang had the same idea as him, then what if he was a ghost?
"My lord, if you want to achieve great things, you must recruit talents and embrace all rivers. This is the pattern for achieving great things." Zhang Ximeng said with a smile: "If my lord is willing, I would like to talk to Mr. Li?"
Zhu Yuanzhang agreed and sent someone to invite Li Shanchang.
But Jia Lu was silent beside him. He looked at Zhang Ximeng and found that he was eager to try and seemed to be very interested in Li Shanchang.
Lao Jia took a deep breath and said, "Since this Li Shanchang has worked as a clerk in a government office, he must be a shrewd and difficult person...I want to talk to him first."
Jia Lu spoke, and Zhang Ximeng was startled. Do you look down on me? Do you think I can't deal with Li Shanchang?
Jia Lu met Zhang Ximeng's gaze and smiled slightly, I'm sorry, you are really not good at it!
Zhang Ximeng thought for a moment and could only nod helplessly. Li Shanchang was a fox, so he had to let the old fox take action.
…
So when Li Shanchang was carried in by Fei Ju, he only saw Jia Lu present.
Li Shanchang was stunned for a moment?
Did you really guess it right?
"My lord, meet my lord!"
Li Shanchang rolled off Fei Ju's back and fell to the ground, sweating profusely, as if he had been fished out of the water, and even his voice was filled with fear.
Jalu was also a little confused.
If you are afraid of being like this, why do you come to join the Red Turban Army?
"I am no longer a minister of the Yuan Dynasty. I am just a useless old man... But you, how do you recognize me?"
How could Li Shanchang dare to hide it? He said hurriedly: "Yes, when the Yellow River was regulated, I took the peasants to the river embankment and had the honor to meet the elder. The elder worked tirelessly and did it himself, which is admirable!"
"What is there to admire about the act of opening a river to convert money and subjugating a country!" Jia Lu said directly: "I heard that you are willing to take refuge with General Zhu and give advice to General Zhu. I thought you had met a wise master and should carefully assist you.
Achieve great things. As for the Yuan Dynasty, it is already in its last days, and your life will not be long, so you can be regarded as a hero in this world."
Li Shanchang was very surprised. Jia Lu persuaded him to join Zhu Yuanzhang?
Is it true or false?
At this moment, his head was much clearer. What was the point of Jia Lu pretending to die? The hundred thousand troops were gone. Even if Yuan Ting wanted to commit suicide, this was not the way to do it.
It was clear that Jia Lu was arrested and took refuge with Zhu Yuanzhang.
Li Shan has been in the government for a long time and has excellent psychological quality. He was just suddenly frightened by Jia Lu, so that he became confused and thought wildly. He couldn't help cursing himself for being confused. Fortunately, he didn't talk nonsense, otherwise he really wouldn't know how it would end!
Li Shanchang calmed down and felt that Zhu Yuanzhang was even more powerful. He could actually capture Jia Lu and let the old man work for him. He was really right about the person.
However, the pamphlet cast a big shadow on him and made him very uneasy. Therefore, Li Shanchang took the courage to say: "Sir, I saw a pamphlet that said something about the land in Dingkou. I dare to ask."
But it’s the boss’s handiwork?”
Jia Lu shook his head, "I can't write it. It was written by a little friend."
"Is that Mr. Zhang?"
"Yeah! That's right."
Li Shanchang took a deep breath and said again: "Sir, the matter of land and acres is of great importance. If the superior wants to achieve hegemony, perhaps he should find someone more mature and prudent. I'm afraid that Mr. Zhang is not very old?"
"He's really not that old. He should be thirteen years old this year."
Li Shanchang almost rolled his eyes when he heard this. His own son was much older than him!
"Sir, isn't this a bit of a joke?"
Jia Lu smiled, "Child's joke? If you knew the identity of that kid, you wouldn't say that."
"Then...who is he?" Li Shanchang asked cautiously.
"His great-uncle is Mr. Yunzhuang, who is my mentor."
Li Shanchang was stunned for a while before he figured out who it was, and was stunned.
"He, how could he take refuge in the Red Scarf?"
Li Shanchang felt that it was understandable for a petty official like him to seek refuge in the red scarf. How could the Zhang family seek refuge in the red scarf? The imperial court was not kind to them!
Jia Lu saw Li Shanchang's thoughts and smiled slightly. Fortunately, he came here, otherwise it would be difficult to talk.
"Have you heard of Zheng Sixiao?"
Li Shanchang smiled bitterly and shook his head, he really didn't know this.
"Then have you heard of Wen Tianxiang?"
Li Shanchang cried, and the three-year-old child also knew it!
Jia Lu took a long breath and asked again: "Do you have any fields at home?"
"There are...some." Li Shanchang said sarcastically.
"There must be, otherwise you wouldn't be able to study." Jia Lu said: "Then these fields are yours?"
Li Shanchang was stunned, wasn't he?
He rents it to tenant farmers and the rent is harvested every year. Why is it not his?
Jia Lu sighed, "But Zheng Sixiao doesn't see it that way. There is no root or soil in his paintings... The place of metaphor has been taken away by the Mongols. All Han people in the world are people who have perished!"
Li Shanchang was stunned and could only agree: "It is indeed the Mongols who dominate the world!"
"So we must take back the world!" Jia Lu suddenly said in a serious tone, "Prime Minister Wen is so loyal that he can't stand alone. The young emperor jumped into the sea and regretted the cliff. The Song Dynasty was finally dead! Now General Zhu leads the tiger and wolf army to restore the old mountains and rivers of the Han family.
Qingshi is lucky, the sun and the moon shine together. You can join General Zhu and achieve great things. You are indeed a visionary. Your future achievements are limitless!"
When Li Shanchang heard this, he was trembling all over and speechless. How could his choice be remembered in the annals of history and be remembered for generations? Then, do I still need to care about the difficult land?
