Chapter 376: Zhan, Pei Yuanzhang's North-South Strategy

"Where do you get so much money?"
Hearing me asking this sentence, I do n’t know why, Liu Saner's face was a little darkened, and he whispered: "There is no money at home. I went to the pawnshop in town to make a little money. But ... "He said, frowning slightly, and he didn't seem to want to mention it again, and then he waved his hand, saying," Nothing, it's all over. You're fine now. "
After that, he smiled at me.
Looking at his clear eyes, I suddenly felt a bit overwhelmed.
Just now in the back room, those words that Aunt Liu said to me, many of the dramas will have such a "life-saving grace", although I don't think that Liu Saner will ask me for that, nor will he It may have been this idea to save me, but these days, he took such meticulous care to me, anyway, I feel that I have owed an unclear debt.
Just then, a soft voice suddenly came from outside--
"The third brother."
As soon as Liu San'er heard it, he hurriedly went out to open the door, and saw Yun Xiang standing in the door wearing a new blue skirt, and when he opened the door, his cheek smiled slightly pink. The two returned to the room while talking, and I also stood up holding the table and smiled, "Ruxiang, you're here."
"Ah, lightness is with you."
This was a bit of a plain word, but I didn't care, just stood there with a smile. Ruxiang asked Liu Saner with concern again: "How is your injury? I said that these two days let me help you, and you are not willing."
Liu Saner smiled heartily, moved the injured hand, and said, "Look, it's really okay, don't worry. The doctor said, don't take too heavy things to let the wound open. It won't be a problem. I I plan to go to town tomorrow. "
"You going to town? That's great, let's go together."
"what are you going to do?"
"My mother is going to take me to the town to find a fortune teller and write a letter to my brother." Ruxiang said happily, looking at Liu Saner's eyes watery and shining.
Liu San'er frowned. "Why do you need to go to that fortune teller? He will write twenty letters for a letter. It's not worth it. I can't write for you."
"But your hand--"
Liu San'er looked down at his hand, only to remember that he was still injured, and sighed.
I have been standing beside me silently watching, and then stepped forward and said gently: "If not, let me write for you."
They both turned their heads and looked at me at the same time: "You-?"
"Ok."
"Lightness?" Liu Saner was startled: "Are you literate?"
"Recognize it."
Liu Saner smiled with surprise and said, "You are amazing. Few of the people I know know how to read."
He patronized me by saying this, but did not notice that Ruxiang's face next to him was a little white, and he bowed his head awkwardly. I hurried round: "Girl Ruta, what do you want to write, just tell me."
"I'll go back and ask my mother." After talking, Ruxiang went out without looking back.
I looked back at Liu San'er and wanted to say something, but I didn't know how to say it, and I just sighed softly. He heard it and immediately turned to look at me: "What's wrong?"
"No, nothing." I asked casually: "Have you ever read a book?"
He nodded: "Well. When I was a kid, my father and mother sent me to study for a few years."
In these days when I temporarily lived in Jixiang Village, I found that there are very few people studying here. The whole village seems to have only one talent, and now he is old. He has a lot of books in his house, which are actually used by his family to set fire. The stove is a pity, and most other people are as ignorant as Ruta.
Unexpectedly, Liu Saner actually literate.
"I don't think many people study in this village."
"Yeah, I do n’t know why my father and mother offered me to study, but they did n’t know the words themselves. But I have n’t studied for a few years, and I still remember that my husband just finished" University "and I did n’t go again Now. "
"why?"
He smiled slightly: "No money, I can't read it anymore."
I froze, seeing that he was smiling, but the smile was not as bright as usual, but a little lonely. However, it was only an instant, he immediately covered up the past, and laughed: "But it's okay, fortunately, I know a few words, not to be an open blind, confused by those corrupt officials. You probably don't You know, before they bullied the people in the village, they took some undocumented documents and asked everyone to pay some messy taxes. Fortunately, I just came back from Yangzhou at that time and saw through their treacherous schemes. "
He said, and gritted his teeth again: "Those people like fish and meat will definitely not end well!"
Looking at his angry look, I was speechless.
The affairs of the south were not overnight, nor could they be understood by ordinary people. Pei Yuanzhang was in the upper position. Although he had a good intention to govern the south, administration and governance could not be achieved overnight, especially now that he had destroyed Sheng Jing's negotiations with Jiangnan also indirectly showed his attitude. In fact, as long as people who understand the situation a little can see that it is impossible for Shengjing to watch the Central Plains sit up or to abandon the glory and wealth that Jiangnan taxation brings to them. , We must get rid of Sheng Jing's restraint on him in the north. In this way, most of his energy will be scattered to some extent, so he is still somewhat powerless to the south.
However, if this continues, I do not know where the situation in the south will go.
.
Just after chatting for a while, someone came outside, but it wasn't that Ruxiang went and returned, but Ruxiang's mother Zhao Ainiang walked straight in.
Zhao Auntie and I can't say strange, but even if she usually sees me, she doesn't talk very much. I didn't know why at the beginning, but now I can understand.
When Liu San'er saw her, he hurried up to her: "Ma'am, why are you here? Ruxiang?"
"She, suddenly said it was uncomfortable, so she just came."
"Oh."
Speaking, Aunt Zhao turned to look at me, frowning slightly: "Listen to Yun Xiang, will you write a letter?"
I hurriedly laughed, "Yes."
"You a girl, can you read?"
"Teached something from a young home."
"..."
Looking at Zhao's expression, I didn't seem to believe it, but I still asked Liu San'er to go to the dead old show in the village to borrow pen and ink and paper. Spreading the paper on the table, I dipped some ink with a pen that was almost going bald, and asked, "Ma'am, what would you say to Linglang?"
Auntie Zhao has been watching me get cold, and at this time it seems as if I have suddenly returned to my mind: "Ah? Just tell them to be wary and don't patronize desperately. Ruxiang and I are still waiting for them to come back."
"Ok."
"Also, the trustee brought me two cotton coats in the past, asked them if they fit well, and came back, if not, I will do it again. It can be cold in the north ..."
"Ok."
I nodded and promised to write while writing. At this time, Liu Saner said, "Madam, didn't you say that Brother Zhao and Brother Zhao should come back this year? Why should we fight?"
"Hey, God, I don't know what happened in the north, not only did not let them come back, but I heard that many people were sent, so they can't come back this year! This winter, the north side is going to go down It ’s snowy, I heard that even people's ears will be frozen! Pity my sons ... "
Aunt Zhao was still thinking about it, and I could not help holding the brush tightly.
Still fighting in the north? Still sending troops?
The fishing ban was promulgated, which means that Pei Yuanzhang has been in Yangzhou. It has been more than a month since the negotiations between him and the South should have a result. Although I did not deliberately care about things over there, but In recent days, Yangzhou City has been very calm without any turmoil, which also shows that their negotiations should be progressing.
If this is the case, coupled with Pei Yuanzhang's bombardment of Empress Yin's ship, then the royal family and Shengjing should have embarked on a path of breaking!
At present, troops are still being sent to the north. Could it be said that-there is a big war in the north?
I was thinking to God, Liu San'er looked at me: "Lightness, what happened to you?"
"Ah?" I snapped back, looked at them, and immediately laughed: "Nothing, I'm almost done."
A letter was finished in a short while. I picked it up and dried the ink, then folded it into a plate and handed it to Aunt Zhao: "You always get it, and you can give it to the people in Yilu."
Aunt Zhao looked at the stationery in her hand and looked at me again. She was very shocked. She was silent for a moment, stretched out her hand, and found twenty money from her arms and put it in my hand: "Here you are."
"What are you doing?"
"I can't keep you busy. You're not healthy."
I looked at her stiff expression, and there was a touch in my heart. In fact, I know she doesn't like me very much, because of her daughter Ruxiang, but she still cared a little about that sentence just now. This is the simplest ordinary people. Without conspiracy or calculation, love should be loved, hate should be hated!
I hurriedly refused, but she insisted that I accept it. The two insisted for a while, and I finally said, "Let's do that, I'll charge you ten dollars. Don't you insist anymore?"
She thought about it and agreed.
I took the ten money and turned it over to Liu San'er.
He hesitated for a moment before asking. I said, "Go and tell the family, we will buy the pen, ink and paper. In the future, someone in the village will write a letter, so there is no need to rush to the fortune-teller. I will write for you. Ten letters in one letter, no matter how many words. "
As soon as he heard it, his eyes lightened, and he immediately laughed: "Okay!"
