After hearing the conversation in the house, Di Renjie cheered up and listened carefully to the news about the Japanese slaves.
Li Zhi asked puzzledly: "Did you really find a silver mine there?"
He Bi nodded and explained: "They hid it at first, but after buying a few Japanese slaves, they learned its origins and the locations of the three silver mines. Later, we let them mine."
"It's just that later when the Japanese slaves rebelled, Wen Ting lost control and killed many, many people."
Why bother thinking and said: "It should be in the past years of the old man Wen Yanbo. He led the Liaodong soldiers and horses to massacre Baekje, and the Baekje people were almost extinct. Later, when he reached the border of Silla people, he took over
I have murderous intentions."
"After that, it's all about the Japanese slaves. In fact, we killed a lot of people. Wen Ting is a murderous lunatic. No one can stop him."
Why bother said with emotion: "Have you met Jin Chunqiu?"
Li Zhi nodded and said, "I've seen it."
"Jin Chunqiu is a sharp-sighted person. Now that Wen Ting has returned to Guanzhong, Jin Chunqiu is consulting with the governors of western Liaoning and eastern Liaoning on governance strategies, and wants to lead Silla soldiers and horses to attack the Japanese slaves again. If he succeeds,
Yes, the Japanese slaves should die as well."
Li Zhi was silent for a long time, wondering what the scene would be like and how many people would die.
Why bother told the King of Jin a lot about what he had learned during his travels to Liaodong over the years. Di Renjie listened carefully and did not want to miss these words that could increase his knowledge.
In the past, information about these distant places could only be found in classics.
Wonu is a place not suitable for long-term living. There are frequent seawater intrusions, earthquakes and fire-emitting mountains.
The terrain, water and soil there are not suitable for large-scale food cultivation.
The territory of Silla was merged into the territory of Tang Dynasty in the 17th year of Zhenguan. Jin Chunqiu wanted Silla people to become Tang people, so he still needs the household registration of Datang and incorporate the people of Silla into the household registration of Tang Dynasty.
Only then can one truly become a Tang person.
For this he needs merit and merit. Although Jin Chunqiu was very flattering to the Tang people, in fact he was a ruthless person with extremely huge ambitions behind his back.
He needed credit to register the Silla people in the Tang household registration, and the lives of the Japanese slaves were the straw for him to reap the credit.
With why bother to take them with them, Li Zhi and Di Renjie's life in Youzhou has become much better.
He Bi was a free and easy man. He didn't want to be accompanied by King Jin and a group of burdensome people. After taking care of them for some time with good food and drink, he sent them to the front of Yuguan City.
"After passing Yuguan, we will return to Chang'an City as soon as possible." Why leave such a sentence behind and stand aside with a straight face.
Li Zhi asked: "Uncle He, won't you follow us back to Guanzhong? It would be nice to meet Uncle Ding and my brother-in-law."
Why bother snorted coldly, "If there is trouble in Lishan, a certain family will bring Liaodong soldiers and horses to help him. If nothing happens, it is good for a certain family to live alone."
Di Renjie signaled King Jin not to ask any more questions and looked hard.
Why did he really want to lift Li Zhi and throw him to the other side of Yuguan City? He even thought of a way to throw him out while only causing some minor injuries to King Jin.
The guards following Li Zhi were also frightened. More than thirty of them fought together, but they couldn't defeat the hero in front of them.
This left an impression in everyone's mind that the people who worked for Lishan were fierce people, and this man was too fierce.
"Uncle He, how will we arrange Jin Chunqiu in the future?"
Seeing Li Zhi asking again, Di Renjie's brows jumped, and his fat face was full of entanglements. If there was a fight, he would have to run away first.
Why bother holding a horizontal sword, closed his eyes and said solemnly: "Since he wants to be Datang's dog, then Datang let him die, he should be grateful, but the Ministry of Rites naturally has arrangements for these things, in this person
While it is still valuable to the Tang Dynasty, do not touch it until it has no value."
This is the darker side of the Tang Dynasty. For someone like Jin Chunqiu who wants to change his life and identity, his thoughts will eventually harm him.
Li Zhi and Di Renjie arrived at Yuguan City.
"His Royal Highness King Jin, people like Jin Chunqiu will become a hidden danger if left unchecked."
Di Renjie always had a very accurate eye for seeing people. As long as he felt that someone was going to be in trouble, that person would definitely be in trouble.
Li Zhi firmly believed in this.
After a few people entered the pass, they planned to go to Hedong in the center of the pass first. It has been almost two years since they left, and it will probably be winter before they return to Chang'an City.
Along the way, Di Renjie began to study hard and bought books along the way. This time he was going to take the imperial examination.
The boundary of Hedong is Wenxi County.
The Fenjiu in Fenyang is very attractive, and Pei Xuanji would often drink it comfortably after finishing teaching.
In order to support education, the Tang Dynasty spent tens of thousands of money every year to support teachers in various places, and asked counties to check the results of teachers' teaching, and to conduct county examinations on the students they taught.
The supporting teacher is responsible for teaching, while the county is responsible for conducting county examinations.
This was the first time that the county examination was used for selection since the establishment of the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty.
After Pei Xuanji saw off the magistrate of Wenxi County, he poured himself a bowl of wine and drank it happily.
Every time he drinks, he always puts some empty wine bowls. He drinks to himself first, and after talking to himself for a long time, he drinks all the wine in these bowls.
There was always something hidden in Pei Xuanji's heart, which was that he had been doing nothing for half his life, met the Marquis of Lishan County, and then started the great cause of overthrowing the family. This lasted for six years and many people died.
These people have spent decades studying betrayal.
There is also a strong man who goes forward and is willing to die for him.
There is also a young man who is full of passion and rushes away with a knife.
Pei Xuanji held up the wine bowl and said: "Everyone, we have lived up to our expectations. The Marquis of Lishan County and Tian Khan did not betray us. The aristocratic family has fallen, the imperial examination has flourished, and your death has not been in vain."
At this time of year, he always says strange things.
Pei Xuanji's first wife was a very ordinary farm girl. She was used to her husband doing this every year and saying some incomprehensible words.
Pei Xuanji's teaching career went very smoothly, but there were also times when it didn't go well. He had a student named Lai Junchen.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This student named Junchen, who looked about thirteen or fourteen years old, ran over in a panic and said, "Teacher, a group of officers and soldiers are coming outside."
Pei Xuanji was over forty years old, and his wife had just given birth to a child. He was in his forties, the time when a man is most stable.
After hearing the student's words, Pei Xuanji said: "Junchen, have you done something bad again?"
Lai Junchen said: "I don't."
Pei Xuanji continued: "You should learn more from Li Youdao. Look at how hard he studies."
"Teacher, will you definitely get ahead if you study hard?"
After hearing the student's answer to this question, Pei Xuanji hesitated and said, "Probably..."
Pei Xuanji felt a little shaken and continued, "If you don't study, you probably won't be successful."
"Why?"
Pei Xuanji put down the wine bowl, put his hands on his knees, and patiently taught: "If you don't study, you don't know etiquette, justice, and integrity."
Lai Junchen asked again: "Then why does the teacher think that the student has done something bad?"
"The officers and soldiers are here, what are you feeling guilty about?"
"student……"
Pei Xuanji said again: "Before the officers and soldiers come to arrest you, tell me what you have committed, and I will see if I can rescue you."
Lai Junchen replied: "The student lost the official documents."
Pei Xuanji added: "It's not a big deal. You can just go back and inform the county magistrate and ask him to write a new document. Then the county magistrate will give me a bit of mercy."
"But... the student framed it to the county registrar."
"hiss……"
Pei Xuanji took a breath of cold air, and then felt that this child could be honest and it was not hopeless, so he began to teach.
The officers and soldiers who came to Hedong were not from North Korea, but from Youzhou.
The visitors were none other than Li Zhi, King of Jin, who had come from afar, and Di Renjie, who had returned to Chang'an City to prepare for the imperial examination next year.
Di Renjie said: "Your Highness, Prince of Jin, please don't disturb me. If I fail to pass the imperial examination, Liu Dewei, the Minister of Punishment, will beat me to death."
Li Zhi lost interest and sat on the shaft of the carriage looking at the scenery along the way.
After many years of governance in Guanzhong, there is still no change seen in the Hedong boundary. If it reaches Lishan, it will definitely have a different appearance.
It has been two years since we came out. From Youzhou to the border of Hedong, it is already winter in Guanzhong. By the time we reach Chang'an City, it may have started to snow.
Two years have gone by so fast that I still have a lot to say.
Li Zhi was concerned about his father and mother, and he was eager to return home at this moment.
After traveling, Li Zhi and Di Renjie saw a lot, but they were protected by their status and officers and soldiers.
This trip went smoothly and there were no setbacks along the way.
The magistrate of Wenxi County came to greet him personally and welcomed His Royal Highness Prince Jin and his entourage into the official office.
As soon as Li Zhi sat down, he saw a man leading a child.
The child's eyes first glanced at everyone, and finally his eyes stayed for a moment on Jin Wang Li Zhi who was sitting in the upper seat. Then he faced the county magistrate and said respectfully: "The student lost the document handed over by the magistrate yesterday and framed it for the Lord.
Book, the teacher brings the students to admit their mistakes."
There was silence in the county government office. Pei Xuanji stroked his beard and nodded. It seemed that Junchen was telling the truth honestly, so he felt that he was still young and still had a chance to correct the chaos.
Li Zhi saw this and asked curiously: "Is there such a thing?"
Pei Xuanji replied: "The county magistrate has always been close to the people. He will also ask the villagers to help with some things, and the villagers will not shirk."
The county magistrate smiled awkwardly and said, "His Royal Highness the King of Jin is laughing."
Li Zhi looked at the county journal in his hand and whispered: "I have no right to inquire, but I would like to ask why Hedong sent 500 soldiers to the southwest?"
The county magistrate explained: "It's a long story. Probably last year, the county prince asked Nanzhao to cultivate a food called Tremella fuciformis. The price of this Tremella fuciformis is extremely high. It is a very precious food. There have always been many mountain people in the southwest.
Make this your career.”
"At the beginning of this year, Nanzhao cultivated a lot of white fungus. After sending it to Guanzhong, it was exported outside the customs. Therefore, Nanzhao people and Guanzhong merchants made a lot of money."
"Among them, Lishan earned the most, but because of this, the price of white fungus in Guanzhong became cheaper, which caused dissatisfaction among many villagers in the southwest. Nanzhao had conflicts with several villages in the southwest. North Korea transferred soldiers from various counties in Guanzhong
Some soldiers and horses were sent into Zhechong Mansion to stop the chaos on Jiannan Road."
"This all happened last year. Under the arrangement of the Central Government, Nanzhao also handed over the cultivation methods to the villages in the southwest, and this matter was settled."
Listening to the county magistrate's speech, Pei Xuanji said: "The price of Tremella fuciformis remains high, making ordinary villagers unable to afford it or eat it."
Li Zhi understood that the cause of this incident was not just Tremella fungus. After Guanzhong was able to plant grapes on a large scale, the price of grapes became cheaper, and ordinary people could afford these rare meals.
This is what my brother-in-law has been doing since he became the minister of Taifu Temple, so that the people of the Tang Dynasty would have more sumptuous dishes on their tables.
Unexpectedly, my brother-in-law still insisted on doing these things after leaving the court.
Wisdom can make the Tang Dynasty richer, and applying wisdom to production can make crops more abundant.
My brother-in-law has been doing these things when he was the minister of Taifu Temple, and he will do the same in Taifu Temple in the future.
Carrying forward the past and looking forward to the future, the location of Taifu Temple will have a very important position in the court in the future, whether it is for new water conservancy projects or crop cultivation.
Pei Xuanji added: "The mountain people in the southwestern part of the country need to join in the production and labor. Now construction is going on all over Guanzhong. Even Longyou has begun to plant jujube trees, and walnuts, garlic, onions, ginger, grapes, etc.
Waiting for more and more crops.”
"In the past, we relied on the weather to make ends meet, but things are different now. Even in disaster years, we have the ability to withstand disasters."
Li Zhi was very satisfied with Pei Xuanji's words and said with a smile: "Lishan knowledge is like this. Fighting with people, fighting with heaven and fighting with earth, a beautiful life is created by our own hands.
, rather than what God provides for food.”
Pei Xuanji saluted and said: "It is said that the disciples of Lishan are different from ordinary people. Now I have seen it. I, Hedong Pei Xuanji, have met His Highness the King of Jin."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Li Zhi also stood up and saluted.
Back then, when I was following the instructions of the County Marquis, I only met the King of Wei and the County Marquis. As for the King of Jin, I only glanced at him from afar.
Now he has grown so big.
Pei Xuanji's work for Lishan has always been a secret move. Not many people knew of his existence, not even the King of Jin.
On the day when the aristocratic family collapsed, he returned to this old place and taught the children here, and he felt that he was living in the sunshine again.
As for the experiences of those years, they have become secrets in their hearts. No one will remember them anymore, and they will no longer have any contact with those people.
After life returned to normal, Pei Xuanji did not want to participate in those overt and covert fights, and wanted to live quietly.
After getting acquainted with the demeanor of His Highness the King of Jin, a disciple of Lishan, Pei Xuanji took Junchen to see him and left the official office.
If he continued talking, Pei Xuanji was worried that he would follow the King of Jin and leave Hedong to become an official in the court.
I finally stopped thinking about it in my heart.
"Teacher, don't you want to teach us anymore?"
Hearing Lai Junchen's words, I couldn't help but sigh. He is actually a very smart child, and he can tell in just a few words.
But it's not what he thought. If I leave, who will teach them how to read?
Then, Pei Xuanji said with a dark face: "I won't argue with you about today's matter. If you dare to do such frame-up things again in the future, I will definitely not take mercy lightly."
Lai Junchen said: "Students, please remember this."
"Go ahead and copy the first three chapters of Shangshu five times and give them to me when you're done."
"Students will go now."
The county government in Hedong is very dilapidated, and the roads are full of potholes and become muddy during the rainy season. People walking on the roads are mostly people who have just returned from work.
As the sun set over this small county, Pei Xuanji felt that it was good to live like this, so just live like this, the children here could still be taught.
