Farmer of Shu Han Chapter 856

Chapter 856 Chess player

Nongdong County, the county government of South Central Yunnan County.

Although it has entered September, the weather in Nanzhong is still uncomfortably hot.

Finally, the sun turned to the west, so Ma Di was able to lie down on the rocking chair, wearing short sleeves, waving a cattail fan, and enjoying the shade in the small yard.

The rocking chair was rocking back and forth, and one of Ma Di's feet was on the horizontal bar under the rocking chair.

One foot is raised up, the toes are hooked on the clogs, the clogs are shaking and shaking, and they are about to fall in the next moment, but they still stick to the feet.

This kind of behavior is not only without the style of a celebrity, it is simply out of etiquette.

In fact, when Ma Di first came to Yunnan, he was not like this.

In the past, he also served as the prefect in name of Yuejue, but because the Yuejuan rebellion continued at that time, the officials of the Han Dynasty could not enter at all. ) stay.

So Ma Su has actually never even gone deep into Yuexuan County, let alone Yunnan County, which is further south than Yuexuan.

He first arrived here three years ago, and after experiencing it personally, he discovered that Nanzhong was regarded as a barbaric place, not without reason.

It's okay for men to wear short sleeves as their daily clothes on weekdays, but sometimes they don't even want to wear short sleeves, and just hang around shirtless.

Even those Han Chinese who came from the Sichuan plains to Nanzhong to open plantations, many of them actually learned from the barbarians and used short-sleeved clothes as daily clothing.

This point alone has made Ma Di complain many times.

Unexpectedly, as the summer became hotter and hotter, Ma Dazui, who still wanted to wear a Hanfu shelf, was directly covered with prickly heat all over his body.

From the chin to the legs, there are dense white or red dots.

Not only did his body itch, but he even had a burning sensation, which almost scared him half to death.

Finally, at the suggestion of the interns of Nanxiang Medical College, I had to follow the Romans and wear short-sleeves.

I didn't know that I wore it, hey, I found it to be pretty good.

Not only did most of the prickly heat on my body disappear, but also I didn't have to be in danger of life and death because of the sweltering heat.

In the end, he not only wears short sleeves, but also sleeps on bamboo stilts in summer, which is becoming more and more barbaric.

Can't sleep without sleep!

Because there are insects and snakes everywhere, if you dare not sleep in the bamboo building, they will dare to climb on you at night and sleep with you in the same pillow.

Then Ma Di had to comfort himself: Actually, sleeping in a bamboo building in summer... feels pretty good, at least it's cooler than sleeping in a house.

Anyway, it's a barbaric place, so when you get here, don't laugh at anyone.

With the beginning, the indulgence will naturally be unstoppable.

So it's strange to wear clogs to enjoy the shade now?

While Ma Di was enjoying the gradually cooling breeze, someone outside the small courtyard suddenly shouted loudly: "Young Chang, You Chang!"

Before the voice finished, the visitor had already rushed into the yard.

Ma Su stood up abruptly when he heard someone's voice:

"But Bo Song? Aren't you in Wei County? Why did you come here to build a building?"

Zhuge Qiao walked over with clogs on his clogs, and sat down opposite Ma Di, ignoring Ma Di's words, his face was full of excitement:

"Youchang, good thing, great thing!"

At the same time, the paper in his hand was shaking so loudly that it was about to poke Ma Di in the face.

Seeing the appearance of Zhuge Qiao, who has always been prudent, Ma Di couldn't help sitting up straight: "What can make you lose your composure?"

Zhuge Qiao came over, but still couldn't suppress his excitement: "Hanzhong urgent report, Liangzhou victory, the big man has already taken back Liangzhou!"

"What?"

Ma Su's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly snatched it over to see that it was indeed an official document sent from Hanzhong, and it was already last month.

Although starting from the first emperor, from Jincheng to Hanzhong, many post pavilions have been built.

And in these years, with the increasing development of Nanzhong, the connection between Jincheng and Nanzhong has become closer.

However, it still takes a long time to deliver urgent mail from Hanzhong to here, even if it takes day and night.

After quickly scanning the above content, Ma Su couldn't help applauding: "Wonderful! Old General Zhao's attack is like the wind, and Feng Junhou's temple is like a god. This can be said that a good fighter has no great achievements?"

"The big man no longer has to worry about the future, he can concentrate on Guanzhong, and the ambition of the prime minister can be achieved..."

Ma Su paused suddenly when he said this, and he didn't know what to think of. The joy on his face was mixed with a little bit of bitterness, and he sighed unconsciously.

Zhuge Qiao knew that the other party most likely remembered the battle of Longyou again.

He smiled and said, "I have another piece of good news."

"Oh? It seems that today is really a good day. I wonder if there is any good news for Bosong?"

Ma Di quickly adjusted his emotions and asked.

"The queen gave birth to a prince, and His Majesty was overjoyed to pardon the world, you Chang, do you know? You are also included in the pardon!"

As Zhuge Qiao said, he took out another document from his bosom and stuffed it into Ma Su's hand:

"Before coming here, I have already handled all the paperwork for you in the county mansion. Now that you are no longer an exiled person, you can return to Jincheng at any time!"

Ma Di listened, and spread out the paperwork in disbelief.

There were not many words on the document, but he read it for a long time, and finally his hands trembled a little.

Then close your eyes, open them, blink vigorously, raise your head, and look to the horizon.

The courtyard wall had already blocked the sun, only a golden light fell on the root of the wall on the other side.

Ma Di took a deep breath, and smiled on his face: "Bo Song, thank you!"

Zhuge Qiao waved his hand:

"Thank you? It's just a handy job. Besides, thanks to your plan for Liu Zhou's rebellion, Yunnan no longer has any worries about chaos."

"According to your talents, even if you don't have this pardon, you will still be reappointed in the future."

Ma Di shook his head, smiled wryly and said: "Bo Song don't praise me again, I know my own family affairs. What kind of plan is that, it's just following the old wisdom of Prime Minister and Feng Junhou."

Thinking about myself in the past, I claimed to know about military affairs, but I was just talking about it. The battle at Jieting almost became the laughing stock of the world.

How dare you call yourself talented now?

Seeing that Ma Di was not in a good mood, Zhuge Qiao gave a "tsk" and took out a piece of official document from his bosom.

This action made Ma Su's eyes widen: How many things does this Zhuge Bosong hide in his arms?

"Young Chang may wish to guess, what is said in this official document?"

"What? Could there be a third happy event?"

Ma Di said jokingly.

"Ha, yes! This is the third happy event!"

Zhuge Qiao laughed.

Recovering Liangzhou and being pardoned, in Ma Di's view, it is already the greatest joy.

This third happy event could surpass the first two.

"The Great Han announced to the world that the Liangzhou Governor's Department wants to take a test to select talents. Anyone who is willing to serve the Great Han, regardless of whether he is good or bad, can go to Liangzhou to take the test."

"Anyone who can pass the exam will be selected by the governor of Liangzhou according to his merits and demerits, and he will be appointed as an official, from the county guard to the village chief."

As soon as Zhuge Qiao said this, Ma Su's eyes burst into light: "Whether good or bad?"

"You don't need to be so surprised. The official document said that there are many Qiang Hu people in Liangzhou, and this Feng Junhou is good at caring for Hu people. If these lowly people are talented, why not let them deal with Hu people? ?”

Ma Su nodded when he heard this: "I see..."

Shit!

As soon as the words were spoken, Ma Di already felt that something was wrong.

Now the aristocratic families in Shu are either dismembered into a pile of mud by the prime minister and Feng Mingwen, or they are divided and bought and become lackeys. How can they have the confidence of the late emperor when he entered Shu?

The sharp weapon of differentiation and buying is the wool harvested from the hands of the barbarians?

Prime Minister, that's all. While Feng Mingwen dismembered the aristocratic families in central Shu, he was able to make those aristocratic families willing to pay money and food to restrain the barbarians.

One move, "Fighting and Star Shifting", is unique in the world, and it is unmatched by anyone.

I'm afraid that Murong Fulai, the land of Wu, also...

Huh?

Why do I know Wu Di Murong Fu?

Ahem, forget it, you should read less ranger novels in the future.

Ma Di reversed his thinking as quickly as possible:

Under Feng Mingwen's rule, dealing with Hu people is simply a fat job, okay?

Changed to a family in central Shu, they wished they could fill up with their own people.

Thinking of the complicated relationship between the aristocratic families in Liangzhou oppressing the Hu people, and often using the Hu people to make trouble.

Ma Su couldn't help but feel a jump in his heart!

This Feng Wenhe...isn't planning to lure the family from Shu to compete with the family from Liangzhou, and then reap the benefits for himself?

He looked down at the official document in his hand for the examination and recruitment of talents, and only felt that the words "regardless of good or bad" were too eye-catching.

This Ghost King Feng is really the only one in the world among disgusting people.

You want to hold the barbarians to self-respect, I will directly introduce the aristocratic family from Shu to Liangzhou, and let you dog eat dog, full of hair.

You don't want to do the job of dealing with barbarians? The aristocratic family in the Shu region can't wait for you not to touch a hair!

Familiar techniques are so familiar!

It was so familiar that Ma Di seemed to have seen it with his own eyes somewhere.

I think back then, the barbarians in Nanzhong were also exploited by the government and the rich, plus they were deceived by Meng Huo and others, so they turned against the big man?

After the prime minister pacified Nanzhong, Feng Guiwang lured him into Nanzhong for profit, attracting the Xinghanhui, the aristocratic families of Shu, and even the relevant government offices of the imperial court to enter Nanzhong in a large scale.

Over the years, not only the official roads built by the Qin State and the former Han Dynasty have been reappeared, but even the surrendered Dudu Mansion is still preparing to continue to expand the official roads to Yongchang County, the southernmost part of the Han Dynasty, with the support of various forces.

While being continuously developed, Nanzhong also sent traditional materials such as lacquer, rhinoceros hide, and cattle to the Han Dynasty.

And newly discovered copper.

The most important thing is that it has become a sugarcane producing area for making brown sugar.

During this process, some of the wealthy and barbarian Qushuai that existed in Nanzhong disappeared, and some cooperated with the Dudu Mansion, which greatly maintained the stability of Nanzhong.

It can be said that as long as there are no accidents, it will take nearly two years for the big man to completely control Nanzhong.

Nanzhong has become a sugarcane producing area, so what about Liangzhou?

I am afraid that while it will become a place for horse production, it will also become a place for wool production.

Look at the Xinghan Society, the family of Shuzhong, and the Governor's Mansion of Liangzhou. The three forces have all poured into Liangzhou, and then look at what they did to Nanzhong back then. Does it look like it?

It's a replica!

So Ma Di can almost see that the Liangzhou nobles and Hu people either cooperate with Feng Wenhe, or... just disappear!

At most, it is the difference between disappearing directly or gradually disappearing.

Even some things that he couldn't figure out before, he now fully understands.

Why did Feng Wenhe vigorously support aristocratic families like the Li family and the He family when suppressing the aristocratic families in the Shu region?

Isn't it for this time?

Because families like the Li family and the He family are fundamentally different from traditional families.

Their expansion is mainly based on wool.

If there is any incompatibility between the aristocratic families in Liangzhou, the Li family and the He family are the most vicious dogs under Feng Yong's men who bite people, and they are the kind that will never stop dying.

Probably the only difference between Liangzhou and Nanzhong is the evaluation of Feng Wenhe.

The legend of King Feng Gui was passed down from mouth to mouth among the barbarians in Nanzhong.

The Hu people in Yongliang praised Feng Langjun, the descendant of the mountain god.

The more Ma Di thought about it, the more excited he became. Regardless of Zhuge Qiao's surprised eyes, he stood up abruptly, took two steps back and forth, and muttered to himself:

"Using the world as a chess board, using Yizhou and Liangzhou as chess corners, holding the aristocratic family as chess pieces, and competing for the world, this is what a man of the world does!"

The more he talked, the more excited his voice became. Under the turmoil of his heart, he finally couldn't help but let out a long roar:

"Woohoo! The great man is in danger, the common people are upside down, the great man should calm the troubled times, and make great achievements..."

Unexpectedly, Ma Di hadn't finished his impassioned words, but a scream sounded from outside the courtyard gate:

"Ma Su! Good thief, let me catch you!"

When Ma Di heard this voice, his expression changed dramatically on the spot. His impassioned voice seemed to be pinched by the neck:

"Didn't she go back to Dianchi Lake? Why did she come back?"

Zhuge Qiao let out an "oh" and replied from the side: "I was the one who called her back..."

"Bo Song harmed me!" Ma Di looked at Zhuge Qiao's innocent eyes for no reason, and cried out, "I will die without a place to bury me!"

As soon as the words were finished, there was only a sound of "Peng", and the gate of the small courtyard was knocked open, and the figure of the flower garland appeared in the small courtyard, with lights shining between the palms of both hands.

Ma Di saw her appearance, was so frightened on the spot, turned around and ran away.

"Where are you going!"

Seeing him like this, Hualan shouted coquettishly and raised her right hand at the same time!

Ma Su knew that this barbarian girl was not inferior in martial arts, and she even had the flying knife stunt that she had learned from her mother, Mrs. Zhu Rong.

There was only a "Zuo" sound, and a flying knife sank into the trunk of a tree not far from him.

"Hua Niangzi, it is the governor's mansion's business to put down Liu Zhou's chaos. Why are you being so unreasonable?"

The heat has not dissipated, but Ma Su only feels cold.

It's okay if he didn't say this, but when he said this, Hualan gritted her teeth and said:

"The matter of the Dudu's Mansion was your scheme. You deceived me into my ignorance! At the beginning, you talked well with me and lied to me to appease the barbarians, but later you used a poisonous scheme to lure the barbarians to rob my cavalry!"

"It caused me to lose a lot of horses, and a lot of money and food. I am not a son of man!"

Also, it was his idea that the Dudu Mansion had not sent troops for a few months, and it cost his cavalry less business trip.

This loss can be huge!

Although in the eyes of others, Hualan is also a barbarian girl, but she said the word "Yiren" very smoothly at this time.

Because in her opinion, only those barbarians who refuse to be educated can be called barbarians.

My lord is Yushi Zhongcheng, my uncle is the leading general, and I have the second largest cavalry team in Nanzhong. Whoever dares to call me a barbarian girl will kill him!

Anyway, I'm not afraid of being killed!

At worst, they ran to Hanzhong and cried to Grandpa Zhuge, saying that they looked down on people and did not abide by the rules that Grandpa Zhuge set up, "Han and barbarians are the same".

And... besides Grandpa Zhuge, there is also that so-and-so who owed me favors back then!

Ma Di naturally didn't know all the cards in Huahuan's hand, but he had been in Yunnan for three years anyway, so of course he knew that this barbarian woman could walk sideways in Nanzhong.

In addition to the Ping Liuzhou Rebellion, some arrangements were really not very authentic, and I was feeling guilty. How dare I be tough with her at this time?

Fortunately, the Confucian scholars of the Han Dynasty are used to speaking with their fists, and their skills are much better than ordinary people.

Seeing Hualan glaring and stalking up, Scholar Ma, who is short-sleeved and long-pants, looked at the short wall of his house.

Gritting his teeth and making a run-up, he turned over onto the courtyard wall, jumped off the top of the wall and ran away.

Only one broken cattail fan was left, which slowly fell to the ground.

Garland:…

She really didn't expect Ma Su to be so shameless.

"Uh...Hua Niangzi?"

Zhuge Qiao watched the scene dumbfounded, swallowed his saliva, and then came back to his senses, and asked a tentative question cautiously.

"Oh, I met Mr. Zhuge Lang."

This is Grandpa Zhuge's son, so he can't be neglected.

Hua Wan hurriedly pulled back her clothes and gave a salute, very ladylike, and at the same time quietly hid the throwing knife that hadn't been thrown yet on her body.

Zhuge Qiao: …
