My life skills in Daming Liver

As soon as Liu Heiqi died, the mine thieves immediately surrendered on the ground.

But Su Ze didn't take it lightly. Instead, he asked them to throw down their weapons, and ordered Old Orion Lu to lead people to tie up the mine thieves before he stepped forward.

Standing beside Su Ze, the old Orion and his son saw a group of people wearing longbows. They were obviously not the same group as the mine robbers kneeling on the ground. They should be the descendants of Ye Zongliu's rebel army that the old Orion said .

"Where is the cottage?"

The old Orion said: "Liu Heiqi took over our village as a cottage, just behind that mountain."

The mountain was not far from here. Su Ze escorted them over the hidden mountain road, and they saw a small village.

There were still many people in the village who came out to watch when they heard the sound. At a glance, Su Ze saw that they were basically women and children.

Su Ze ordered the little Orion to call the people in the cottage to the square, and he said to the old Orion: "The bandit leader who followed Liu Heiqi committed a heinous crime and took human life on his hands is unforgivable. You lead people to push the bandit leader out."

The old Orion immediately stepped forward to read Su Ze's meaning, and after a while, more than a dozen mine robber leaders were escorted to Su Ze.

Su Ze said to Lin Deyang: "Seal them into the mine too, and taste what it's like to be killed by them."

The leaders of these mine robbers kowtowed to Su Ze for mercy, but Su Ze was unmoved. After dragging them out, Su Ze said to everyone:

"Those who are taken up the mountain by the mine robbers can go down the mountain."

There was a commotion in the crowd, but only a few people came out. They saluted Su Ze, turned their heads and ran down the mountain.

Lu Orion's son said to Su Ze: "Duke Xie Yuan, many people here have no way out when they go down the mountain."

Su Ze raised his eyes and saw that many of them were women. They were robbed up the mountain and lost their reputation, and there was no place for them to go down the mountain.

There are also some victims who have no land, and they can only starve to death after going down the mountain.

Su Ze looked at the village. There were ordinary thatched houses in the village, and there were not many fields on the mountain.

"What do you do for a living?"

The old hunter said honestly: "When the situation is good, you can barely survive by hunting and peeling some furs to sell in Jianning Mansion, but now it is difficult to make a living just by hunting on the mountains. If it weren't for Liu Heiqi If you call, it will be difficult for the people in the village to survive."

"Why don't you open the fields?"

"Xianxia Mountain has been mined since the Tang and Song Dynasties, and now there are illegal mining. The mountain has long been unable to farm."

Sure enough, there are landslides everywhere on the mountain, and the surrounding mountain tops are bare. In modern terms, the over-exploitation of mineral resources here has led to serious soil erosion and serious damage to the ecological environment.

The old Orion said: "However, bamboo can still grow on the mountain. The women in the village used to be bamboo craftsmen, or went to the mountain to pick bamboo shoots in spring, which is also a livelihood."

Li Zhi and the others were silent. They didn't expect the life of the mountain people to be so hard.

The location of this mountain village is hidden, and it is also very close to the most dangerous Xianxia Pass in the entire Xianxia Mountain.

Su Ze had the idea of ​​leaving behind here, and he asked Old Orion Lu, "How many people can the mountain accommodate?"

The old Orion said honestly: "At most a hundred families."

Su Ze saw the people behind him who were kidnapped by the mine thieves, including women and children, there were a thousand people. If these people did not steal and plunder, they would have no way to survive on Xianxia Mountain.

Su Ze said to everyone: "You are willing to stay here in Xianxia Mountain."

The sparse crowd separated, and those who were willing to stay in Xianxia Mountain were basically the residents of the original mountain village.

For the rest, Su Ze said: "If you believe in me, take my token and go south to Ningwei, the head of Nanping County, Yanping Prefecture, to find Lin Baihu, and he will settle you down."

There are more than 800 refugees who do not want to stay on the mountain. Some of them are refugees who followed the mine robbers up the mountain to mine, and some are people who were looted up the mountain. way to survive.

But the road from Xianxia Mountain to Changningwei is not close, and these people are also retreating.

After a while, a dark-skinned middle-aged man stepped forward, bowed to Su Ze and asked:

"Master, can you tell me your name?"

Su Ze said: "In the lower province, I will solve Su Ze, Yanping Mansion of Yuan Dynasty."

The middle-aged man was even more frightened and said: "I am Yan Dalang, a miner from the official mine. He fled into the mountains and was coerced by Liu Heiqi before he became a thief. He has never done anything to bully good people."

Everyone behind Yan Dalang nodded, sure enough, he was very famous among the refugees.

Yan Dalang stood up and said to the crowd behind him: "Since Mr. Xie Yuan is in person, Yan can trust me, I would like to go to Changningwei!"

Things would be easy as long as someone took the lead, and everyone expressed their willingness to follow Yan Dalang to Changningwei.

Su Ze called Yan Dalang to him, and asked Lin Deyang to take out a bag of new money and hand it to him.

Then Su Ze wrote another letter and handed it to Yan Dalang, saying:

"This is a letter to Lizhi County, Jian'an County. After you go down the mountain, you take my letter to him and ask him to use the money to buy food in Jian'an Mansion. You should be able to persist until Changningwei."

Su Ze sent another bodyguard to ride back to Changningwei to inform Lin Mojun to send someone to pick up the refugees.

Yan Dalang's eyes were moist, and he kowtowed to Su Ze with red eyes: "Jie Yuangong's kindness, Yan has nothing to repay, and he is willing to serve Xie Yuangong around to repay it!"

Su Ze heard him speak politely, and couldn't help but ask, "Have you ever read?"

"I haven't read the scriptures, I just know some words."

Su Ze said with satisfaction: "You take everyone back to Changningwei, and go north to catch up with me."

"Thank you, Mr. Xie Yuan!"

Yan Dalang took Su Ze's letter, the new money for buying grain, and the token to Lin Mojun, and led more than 800 refugees behind him down Xianxia Mountain, heading directly to Changningwei.

Su Ze looked at Old Orion Lu again and said, "Since you are willing to stay on the mountain, I, Changning Guard, will send a caravan to trade in the future. You can exchange fur and dried bamboo shoots for food."

The old Orion was overjoyed, he looked at his son again, gritted his teeth and said:

"Duke Xie Yuan, although my son is dull, he is very familiar with Xianxia Mountain, so he can lead the way for Duke Xie Yuan."

"When you get to Qinghu Town, if Duke Xie Yuan thinks this kid is useful, let him follow you around."

After being at a loss for a while, the old Orion's son also made up his mind to salute Su Ze. Su Ze helped him up and said:

"It's so good, I don't know your son's name yet."

"When his mother was pregnant with him, there was a sparrow that built a nest outside the house, and it was nicknamed a sparrow."

Lu Quexi cupped his hands at Su Ze and said, "Master."

Su Ze nodded, as if he had recognized this entourage. Su Ze also saw that Orion and his son had a high prestige in the mountain village, and they could control the mountain village through Lu Quexi in the future.

After everything is dealt with, it is natural to search for loot after the battle.

A lot of silver nuggets were found from Liu Heiqi's stockade, but the purity of these silver nuggets was too poor, and some were still black.

After counting, these silver nuggets would look like fifty taels of ordinary silver. Su Ze simply folded these silver into new money, and distributed them to the guards participating in the battle one by one.

There were only two wounded in this battle. One of them was Li Zhi's guard, who fell down because of the slippery mountain road, and the other was Huang Maochong's servant, whose arm was cut by the shrapnel from the firearm.

Su Ze used the "medical skills" skill to help them bandage.

In order to earn his reputation in the mountain village, Su Ze used the skill of the barefoot doctor to identify herbs near the mountain village. He took Old Orion Lu to collect herbs, explained how he used these herbs, and treated the village.

After finishing all this work, Su Ze led the team to continue to set off. Lu Quexi bid farewell to his father and took the lead to lead everyone to Xianxia Pass.

The closer you get to Xianxiaguan, the steeper the mountain road is, and some places can only accommodate one person.

It was raining again in the mountains, Su Ze asked people to wrap sackcloth on his feet, and finally arrived in front of Xianxia Pass before sunset.

In front of the pass, there is a huge boulder inserted into the mountain, and finally there is a flat place where we can repair and camp.

Seeing that it was getting late, Su Ze ordered everyone to camp.

"Brother Rulin, look, this is a stone carving!"

After camping, Zhao Bingzhong was wandering on the stone platform, and when he saw the stone carvings hidden in the moss, he called everyone in surprise.

It's just that the stone carvings seem to be old, and Xianxiaguan has been guarded by no one since the early Ming Dynasty, and the stone carvings have been eroded by half of the years.

Su Ze looked at the stone carvings and recited:

"My life is really a withering canopy. I have traveled all over the world and the road is not exhausted."

Everyone began to talk about the stone carvings, and when everyone began to research whose work it was, Su Ze said:

"This is Lu You's poem."

Li Zhi nodded and said, "It's indeed Lu Fangweng's style, but it's a pity that only half of the stone carvings are left."

The stone carvings have been eroded by the years, and the lower half can no longer be seen clearly.

When everyone was sighing, Su Ze read from memory:

"Temporarily listen to the imperial rooster's double que, and then ride a lean horse in the mountains.

Heavy fur loses to the power of Chenshuang, and old wood fights for night valley wind.

Don't look for the dream of Sanguan again, Zhu Yan will change to be strong and empty. "

Lu You never had a chance to fulfill his ambitions in his life. Seeing the hopelessness of regaining his homeland, he died in depression. Everyone present was young, so he still didn't like this kind of poems.

Only Su Ze had some sympathy for Lu You's poems. Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty is full of natural and man-made disasters, but Su Ze has no ability to change the world.

"Is there a small temple over there?"

Everyone walked over, only to see that a piece of the mountain in front of them had been dug out, and a stone statue was placed in it.

"This is an alcove, hey, isn't this a Buddha statue, or a Taoist one?"

Although Su Ze's "religious knowledge" is only at level 3, he can still tell that this stone statue is neither Buddha nor Taoist.

Huang Maochong saw a line of inscriptions next to the stone statue: "Soaring to the sky?"

"General Chongtian?" Su Ze walked over and took a look. Although the last two words were blurred, he could still recognize the word "general".

I see.

Seeing Su Ze's expression, Li Zhi asked, "Ru Lin, which statue of God and Buddha is this?"

Su Ze said: "General Chongtian, this is the stone statue of Huang Chao."

"Yellow Nest!?"

Everyone exclaimed, they didn't expect to see the alcove enshrining Huang Chao under the Xianxia Pass.

Su Ze murmured:

"The westerly wind is blowing and the yard is full of plants, the stamens are cold, the fragrance is cold, and the butterflies are hard to come.

If I were Qing Emperor in other years, the retribution and peach blossoms will bloom together. "

"Good poem, so bold!" Li Zhi and the others applauded, but they looked around the entire cliff, but they couldn't see a flower at all, but they didn't know why Su Ze wrote this poem?

It was only then that Su Ze remembered that he still suffered from being educated. This poem, which was well-known in later generations, was not widely circulated at this time.

The reason is naturally very simple. This is an anti-poem, and Huang Chao's deeds are not mentioned in much detail in the "New and Old Books of Tang", and this poem is not included.

When the people of the time wrote the whole Tang poems, they were naturally unwilling to include Huang Chao's anti-poems.

So much so that when Su Ze read it, Li Zhi and others thought that Su Ze had the inspiration to compose the poem.

Su Ze said quickly: "I didn't write this poem, it was written by the soaring general."

Huang Maochong read it a few more times, and found it even more exquisite, and the poem was unparalleled, everyone was young, and felt that it was written with heroic spirit.

Huang Maochong sighed and said: "If Huang Chao had been born a hundred years earlier, maybe he would also have a seat among the poets of the prosperous Tang Dynasty."

Su Ze said disapprovingly: "The court in the late Tang Dynasty was devoid of morality, and the corpses filled the court with vegetarians, and the scholars with real talents could only be left behind by the people. How can the world not rebel?"

"If you ask me, if you ask Huang Chao, he would rather be a rebel than a poet praising the prosperity of the world."

Everyone was silent again, Su Ze arranged for people to stay overnight at the camp, and Huang Maochong couldn't fall asleep because of Huang Chao's poems.

When Huang Maochong yawned the next day, he saw Zhao Bingzhong who was also yawning. They looked at each other and smiled, and each left a little tribute in front of Huang Chao's alcove. Xiaguan.

After passing through Xianxia Pass, the mountain road became much flatter. From this moment on, everyone officially left Fujian and entered Zhejiang territory.

Lu Quexi pointed to the winding mountain road ahead and said, "Following this road is Qinghu Ancient Town!"

Su Ze looked up and saw the cooking smoke in the distance, and everyone felt like returning to the world.

Li Zhi suddenly asked, "Qinghu Town belongs to Quzhou, right?"

Su Ze only had a map of Fujian in his hand, and this map was copied from the Fujian Chief Envoy's Yamen through his connections.

The governor's office of a province only has the map of his own way, and only the capital has the map of the whole country.

The map of Zhejiang in Li Zhi's hand only had an approximate location, and everyone could only look at Lu Quexi.

Lu Quexi nodded and said, "Qinghu Town belongs to Quzhou Prefecture."

Hearing about Quzhou, all three except Su Ze became a little excited.

Li Zhi said: "Mr. Yangming gave lectures in Quzhou many times back then. Quzhou Academy is now the master of mind studies. We can drop by Rulin to visit Quzhou Academy!"

Although Li Zhi was influenced by Su Ze, he was not so interested in Xinxue, but at least Xinxue is the number one academic in Ming Dynasty, and Li Zhi was naturally excited when he came to the holy place of Xinxue.

The same is true for Huang Maochong and Zhao Bingzhong. They don't have much contact with mind studies, but it is also good to visit the world-famous Quzhou Academy.

Su Ze also understood their mentality, so he said, "Take a rest in Qinghu Town, and then we'll go to Quzhou Academy."
