Ming Zuo

Chapter 31 Windfall
under……

Of course not.

"The younger generation thinks about it day and night, and only gets so much. The rest, I'm afraid it will take time."

Liu Zongzhou was very dissatisfied, and slapped the manuscript very solemnly.

"Everything in the world, learning is the first class. Everything can be delayed, but this one has to be a matter of time. With this article alone, you are enough to be famous in history. Put aside other distractions and quickly complete this article."

Liu Zongzhou said that, firstly, he was happy to see the hunter, and it was difficult to wait; secondly, he was also a little selfish, hoping to bring Zuo Menggeng back to the right path.

This young man is good at everything, but he has no reverence for imperial power.

Now that the world is in chaos, he is really afraid that this young man will be deceived and go astray.

If you can tie Zuo Menggeng with the way of learning, it is really good.

How did he know that Zuo Menggeng's heart could be tied down by knowledge?
And this knowledge was actually used by Zuo Menggeng to catch his big fish.

"Niantai Gong, it's late at night. Why don't you take a break?"

Liu Zongzhou was still not satisfied.

"I'm getting old and it's hard to sleep. If you're tired, go and rest."

How dare Zuo Menggeng go.

"Junior served you to wash first?"

Liu Zongzhou was impatient to drive people away.

"When the old man doesn't have inconvenience in his legs and feet, let's go."

Zuo Menggeng was driven away in the end.

Back in his bedroom, he was quiet, and he sat in the dark and meditated.

The appearance of Hou Xun and Liu Zongzhou was an accident that he did not expect.

But the performance of these two people made him see different possibilities.

Liu Zongzhou is profoundly knowledgeable and has unique insights into the current society.

The most important thing is that although Liu Zongzhou was famous, his career was not smooth.

Obviously, he is splendid but unable to show his strengths. There is no doubt that Liu Zongzhou will have a lot of regrets in his heart.

This is the opportunity.

Zuo Menggeng took out The Wealth of Nations and opened a window for Liu Zongzhou.

Next, just wait patiently.

When Liu Zongzhou completely gave up on the Ming Dynasty, it was the beginning of his recruitment of talents.

As for Hou Xun, Zuo Menggeng didn't have much contact with him.

However, judging from the records of this man in historical materials, Hou Xun is definitely a pragmatist.

Hou Xun was later imprisoned for several years.

When the Ming Dynasty was shaken by Li Zicheng, Chongzhen released him in order to encourage Zuo Liangyu to do his best.

But Hou Xun did not thank Dade for this, nor did he force Zuo Liangyu to go to Kaifeng to fight Li Zicheng recklessly.

Because he knew that Li Zicheng at that time had become a climate.

Although Zuo Liangyu was the most elite in the Ming army, he was no longer Li Zicheng's opponent.

He did not force Zuo Liangyu to die, which made Zuo Liangyu preserve his strength and was even more grateful to him.

History books say that Zuo Liangyu's army passed by Guide three times and did not enter, and his generals were not allowed to loot.He even came to visit in person and kowtowed to Father Hou Xun.

Later, in Hou Fangyu's "Peach Blossom Fan", there was a lot of space about Zuo Liangyu, and there were a lot of praise. The reason is also here.

Since Hou Xun is a pragmatic person, it is easier to win.

As for Qian Qianyi who will arrive in a few days...

This gentleman is more famous in history, but it is not a good reputation.

A tree of pear blossoms presses the begonia, the water is too cold, the scalp is cold, and there are a lot of grooves.

For these anecdotes, Zuo Menggeng will not fully believe.But what kind of person Qian Qianyi is, we will see later.

He hopes to absorb the Donglin Party for his own use, but he doesn't want all the dross.

Zuo Menggeng couldn't understand how important the purity of the team was.

In the wild thoughts, Zuo Menggeng fell asleep in a daze.

The next morning, he was woken up by Zuo Gui.

Zuo Gui was sneaky and deliberately lowered his voice.

"Master, guess what I saw on Zhuangzi's side?"

Yesterday, Zuo Gui got Zuo Menggeng's order and sent a batch of grain to the farmers.

Without this batch of grain, the farmers could not survive this winter.

Only the master family has been exploiting it desperately, and this is the first time I have seen the master family deliver food to the farmers.

The villagers burst into tears and kowtowed in the direction of the state city.

After Zuo Gui delivered the food, it was late.As soon as he could not come back, he stayed on Zhuangzi.

"I slept until the middle of the night, and the dogs in the village barked wildly. I was worried, so I got up, for fear that robbers would enter the village. But when I came out, the dogs were barking in the distance. It was dark at night, and nothing was wrong. I couldn't see clearly, so I walked over. After I walked, I walked to the village next to Feng Yuanwai."

Feng Yuanwai was the nephew of the eunuch Feng Lun. From a political standpoint, he was the enemy of the Zuo family.

Zuo Menggeng couldn't help but cheer up and listen to Zuo Gui's details.

"The village in Feng Yuanwai was not peaceful, and there were torches lit behind, and many people were busy. I was afraid of being discovered, so I didn't dare to get too close. As a result, when I saw Feng Yuanwai, he was bringing people to put the wooden trees one by one. The box is buried in the soil."

Although the winter was extremely cold during the Little Ice Age, Linqing has not yet reached the real winter months.The river water has not yet frozen, and the land has not frozen solid.

"Okay, what's he doing secretly burying the box?"

"I was surprised, too, so I kept an eye on it. Later, some of them were irritable, and they turned over when carrying the box. All the things in the box fell on the ground. Master, guess what?"

Without waiting for Zuo Menggeng to ask, Zuo Gui's eyes were full of light.

"Silver, it's all silver. It's all gleaming at night, so scary."

Zuo Menggeng was also shocked.

Although Zuo Gui didn't say how big the box was, it needed two people to carry it, so it was definitely not small.

If this is all silver...

"How many boxes are there?"

Zuo Gui is really careful.

"I went late, I don't know how long they buried it. But I counted thirteen boxes later."

Zuo Menggeng was heartbroken.

Even if there are only thirteen boxes, I am afraid there will be hundreds of thousands of taels.

This is a coveted wealth.

Zuo Menggeng is not so superficial, he thinks a lot.

Why did Feng Yuanwai bury the silver by the river at night?
His uncle is the eunuch guarding, who dares to provoke him?
wrong……

Zuo Menggeng immediately thought that Feng Lun was Li Chaoqin's godson and a member of the eunuch party.

Chongzhen dealt with the big eunuchs such as Wei Zhongxian and Li Chaoqin. As a guard eunuch, he was afraid that the rabbit's tail would not grow.

Besides, no matter how much money Feng Yuanwai could make, it would never be possible for him to accumulate so much wealth.

It is very likely that the money belonged to Feng Lun.

The guarding eunuch is probably preparing for the future.

This is a big matter, Zuo Menggeng can't be careful.

"Go get ready, and after noon, let's go to Zhuangzi."

Zuo Gui took the order and went away.

There were also two distinguished guests in the mansion, Zuo Menggeng packed up and hurried over.

As a result, when he arrived at Liu Zongzhou's side, Liu Zongzhou's old servant was already better and came back to serve him.

According to the old servant, Liu Zong and Zhou slept in the morning, and it must have been great in the morning.

Hou Xun was already up, but more visitors came here.Not to mention Zuo Menggeng, Zuo Liangyu can't even get together.

Zuo Menggeng was relaxed and went back to see Xu Ruolin.

With the arrival of Hou Xun and Liu Zongzhou, Xu Ruolin was no longer a distinguished guest.Nestled in the backyard, coping with Zuo Xianmei helplessly, she was extremely bored.

Zuo Menggeng said: "Niantai Gong is here, and I talked about you last night."

Xu Ruolin looked happy.

"Ah, is Grandpa Liu here? Then I have to visit quickly, lest he see Yaya and call me disrespectful."

Zuo Menggeng hurriedly grabbed her.

"Niantai Gong went to bed very late and won't get up for a while, don't be so anxious."

Xu Ruolin thought of something.

"Is the distinguished guest that Uncle Zuo said a few days ago, is Grandpa Liu?"

"And Duke Hou Ruogu."

Xu Ruolin nodded, obviously familiar.

"The two bosses must have returned to Beijing to resume their jobs. In this way, I will follow me back to Beijing, and I will be safe."

Zuo Menggeng gave her a thumbs up.

"intelligent."

Zuo Xianmei held her heart in both hands, and her eyes were full of stars.

"Niantaigong is the best in the world, and the scholars of morality look up to it. If you can meet him and get his advice, it will be worth dying immediately."

Zuo Menggeng and Xu Ruolin shook their heads together, they really didn't know how to complain about this girl who was becoming increasingly poisoned.

Zuo Menggeng was even more determined to find an opportunity to bring his sister back to the right path.

After lunch, Liu Zongzhou woke up, and Xu Ruolin happily went to visit.

Zuo Menggeng took Zuo Gui out of the house and went straight to Zhuangzi.

On Zhuangzi's side, the villagers were all happy.

After all, with food, it will be easier to survive the winter.

Seeing Zuo Menggeng coming, Lao Qintou and Zhang Yan greeted him, thinking that something had changed.

"Be careful, don't tell anyone we've been here."

Since the harvest of grain, the loyalty of the villagers to the Zuo family does not need to be said.As soon as Zuo Menggeng instructed, the two of them kept the entire Zhuangzi in charge of the wind and rain.

Zuo Menggeng saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart.

At night, after it was completely dark, he and Zuo Gui quietly left Zhuangzi and went to the river.
