Xu Zhong walked through the corridor. He lowered his head and didn't dare to look at anything. He could hear birdsong and smell the fragrance of flowers, but he was not in the mood to appreciate all of this. He walked very fast, as if someone was behind him. chasing him.
"What are you doing? Are ghosts chasing you?" The man standing in front frowned at him.
Xu Zhong was so frightened that he almost jumped up. When he looked up to see the man, he quickly lowered his head and said, "Brother Lu."
Lu Zhao said to him with a stern face: "raise your head, did your family teach you that?"
Xu Zhong's face was flushed with shame, and he finally raised his head.
He is good-looking, with big eyes and a pointed chin, like a little white rabbit. Although he has surpassed the weak crown, he is always regarded as a teenager. He is not temperamental and courageous, and not many people like him at home. , The brothers felt that he was unmanly and his parents felt that he was different from his family.
Not good at reading, not good at doing things, even in terms of looks - not one of the best.
So he was sent to Lin Yuan's side.
Lin Yuan also observed and found that Xu Zhong was reading sour books, and there were two types of readers.
The first type is the students taught by Suanfuzi, who are pedantic and honest, who can't do anything bad but can't do good things. They hold the book as a golden rule.
The second type is smart people. They read and read books, but books are just tools.
But the first kind is common, the second kind is rare.
Xu Zhong was the first one, and he said that his appearance was neither heroic nor out of the way like Chu Lin.
He doesn't have the dynamism of a man, nor the innocence and liveliness of a young man. His eyes are big, but because of his pointed chin, he is a bit petty.
He can neither deal with people nor do practical things. He is the kind of person who lives in modern times and must be a squat at home.
And has a very strong self-esteem.
He committed suicide when he first arrived at Lin Yuan's mansion, and was rescued by his roommate. He cried a few times, and was sick for several months, and now he came out of the house again.
Lu Zhao rushed to him and said, "What are you talking about? If your commander finds out, I am afraid that you will be removed from the family tree immediately!"
Xu Zhong was stunned for a moment, his nose was sore, and tears were in his eyes, and he said aggrievedly: "I don't want to come, it's not me..."
Lu Zhao sighed: "Then you ended yourself up with a white silk ribbon."
Xu Zhong didn't say a word, and looked at Lu Zhao, his snot flowing from his nostrils, with a silly face, making people feel pitiful and ridiculous.
Lv Zhao: "Han Xin was able to endure the humiliation of his crotch back then, but now you can't bear it anymore? Nan Bodhisattva never really recruited us to serve him, so where did he have to die or live?"
"If you are concerned about your reputation, you should have cut yourself off when you came here. Now who do you want to see it by making this appearance?"
"Look at that Chu Lin? He's very different from before." Lu Zhao's expression contained a bit of envy, "He is now a ritual official, and he is next to Nan Bodhisattva, and he can even ask politics! He is just like us. It was just a joke to begin with.”
Xu Zhong said in a low voice, "How can Israel serve people for a long time?"
Lu Zhao looked at him and snorted coldly: "Some people don't even have the ability to handle people in Israel. If you only talk about your face, you may not be able to reach Chu Lin? If you don't talk about Chu Lin, how are you better than Jiang Xu?"
Xu Zhong turned his head away: "Then Nan Bodhisattva should let me go home!"
Lu Zhao felt that he was playing the qin to the cow, so he couldn't bear it any longer: "I will protect you if I don't let you go back!"
Xu Zhong: "What's the point of this?"
Lv Zhao thought, the Xu family had raised such a son, maybe they hadn't raised it since the beginning. If they wanted to harm someone, they just had to let Xu Zhong out and become a son-in-law for others, and it would take half a year to disturb the family. Got the chickens and dogs restless.
"There are so many people here, you can see who has gone back?" Lu Zhao, "If you are the first, let alone you, it is your family, and you can still have a place in Taizhou? No one cares if you think about it or not. When I go back, I will only feel that this person is rejected by Nan Bodhisattva, which must be bad, and if someone offends Nan Bodhisattva, will they still give you and give your family face?"
"Even if you want to go back, you have to go back in a beautiful way."
Lu Zhao straightened his collar and smiled at Xu Zhong: "At least you have to be like Chu Lin before you can go back."
Xu Zhong was taken aback: "Brother Lu... you..."
Lu Zhaozhi said with satisfaction, "Anzhi I'm not the second Chu Lin?"
—
Chu Lin became a newcomer. He returned to Gaoyou with Ha Cizhang and soon became Lin Yuan's guest. He was afraid that Lin Yuan would tell Ha Cizhang the truth. After all, he was a liar, but he had never been a liar. what! The only time he'd lied at this age was to Hazazhang.
He had never done anything that was not a gentleman before.
He fidgets, feeling like a thorn in the chair under his hip.
But Chu Lin's appearance could not tell his uneasiness. When people handed tea, Chu Lin smiled politely at the little maid, and the maid's face instantly flushed red. When he raised his head again, he looked at Chu Lin like After giving birth to hooks, even the eyes are hydrated, and they look a little more beautiful than before.
It's a pity that Chu Lin has always been puzzled by the style. He was looked at like this since he was a child, so he thought that everyone was like this.
At this time, Lin Yuan was in the same room as Ha Cizhang.
Hatzhang is Mongolian, but not as rough as most Mongolian civilians.
He can be regarded as a model of thick and thin, with a face like a knife, high eyebrows and deep nose, and deep eyes. Because he is not young, just looking at his appearance does not seem aggressive - it is estimated that his ancestors have Hu people. Gene, otherwise most Mongolians will not grow like this, it is said that Xinjiang people still look like some.
As soon as Ha Cizhang entered the city, he was ushered into the government office, and he understood what was happening almost instantly.
He was tricked, and the realization made anger well up in his chest.
But he turned his head to look at Chu Lin beside him, saw Chu Lin's completely innocent face, and the anger slowly subsided again.
When he got to the study, he was completely out of breath.
Just confused.
His family is no longer a dignitary, so what is the benefit of this Nan Bodhisattva wooing him
Always have a purpose, then there will be action
Just when Haszhang was at a loss, he heard the young man with a face as white as jade say, "Your father has been rescued by me."
Haszhang's hands and feet were stiff.
"You... you..." Haszhang couldn't believe it, he thought he would never see his father again in this life!
Lin Yuan smiled and said, "But he's really not very obedient, so he can only be locked up now, have you persuaded me to your father?"
Ha Zizhang stood up instantly and stared at Lin Yuan murderously: "Why are you imprisoning my father?! What is your motive?!"
He has a lot of questions: "You let Brother Chu blind me! Why don't you keep blinding me? Tell me now, so you won't be afraid that I will take your life at this moment?!"
Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Young Master, please come, if you can get close to me, why should this life be given to you?"
Lin Yuan looked at the young man in front of him, arrogant, but vigilant. He said, "I also sent the people who saved you. If I asked them to bring you, would you accept me?"
Ha Cizhang snorted coldly, "Do you think I will obey you now?"
Lin Yuan smiled: "Eldest son, in the past few months, it may not be that you have no feelings?"
If he had sent someone to rob Haszhang at that time, Haszhang would not have been grateful to him, and even if he was grateful, he would not have done anything for him.
Only when he clearly realizes that the world is so big that there is no place for his father and son except Gao You, will he lower his noble head.
The places where Chu Lin took him were all impoverished villages. He had seen the world from the poorest to the miserable, and he had also seen the richest and the richest. He saw that Chu Lin was innocent, and he was able to do the real thing in front of Chu Lin. Own.
He used to be in the sky, and it was a matter of national importance, and the accident happened suddenly, but the accident was too big.
Only in this way can his feet fall to the ground, and his eyes will look at others.
Ha Cizhang looked at Lin Yuan, his eyes were like wolves: "Nan Bodhisattva has a clever plan, I am afraid that we have already made the idea of our father and son?"
Lin Yuan shook his head: "It's not your father and son."
Ha Zizhang looked at him mockingly.
Lin Yuan: "The eldest son may not think too much of himself, I see only your father Tuotuo."
Hastaka calmed down.
Hatzhang: "My father will not fight for you."
Lin Yuan shook his head: "It's not a war, I want to ask your father to take care of farming and water conservancy."
Ha Zizhang's eyes widened.
He thought that Lin Yuan had tried his best to make his father go against the imperial court, but... Farming and water conservancy
Lin Yuan: "In this way, it can not only let him show his strengths, but also let him live up to his ancestors, isn't it good?"
Tuotuo is a capable minister, he can fight, and he is also quite accomplished in agriculture.
But he's politically...
Before the Yellow River burst, the finances of the Yuan Dynasty could not afford the money for repairs. In fact, this happened from time to time. From the perspective of the people, it should be taken care of, but from the perspective of the court, it should not be taken care of, because the world was in chaos at that time. , the money will be spent on military procurement.
It is to do away with all opinions and advocate repairs, but there is no money.
So Tuotuo came up with a solution that was easier said than done, but had a lot of problems in practice. He issued new banknotes, which directly inflated the already inflated currency. Since then, banknotes have become waste paper.
Lin Yuan is not going to let Tuotuo participate in politics, he wants to let Tuotuo become a technician.
After the Yuan Dynasty has no strength to fight again, they will be able to let Tuotuo go to the battlefield, and if Tuotuo is there, it will also give the Mongolian people some confidence.
Ethnic integration is a major trend, and he doesn't want to be like the Qing Dynasty, who is clearly sitting in the world, but still has to pay for Mongolia.
Out of so many princesses who were married off to the border, how many lived to the end of their lives
Lin Yuan sighed, and said to himself in his heart, "Slow and steady, slowly and slowly, you can't be in a hurry."
He also doesn't know how much he can do in his lifetime, and how much he may do.
God told him to cross the road, not to let him sit and eat and wait for the dead.
