Qian Song

Chapter 60
...

Li Cun and Chen Kuutong talked very late.

——The two reconsidered the northward plan that Li Cun and Lu Jiang had made before from beginning to end. During this process, Chen Kuutong helped Li Cun perfect the plan with his old-fashioned experience and outstanding wisdom. plan.

After the talk, Li Cun didn't arrange for Chen Kuutong to rest elsewhere, but arranged for the master and apprentice to rest in his own guest room. Li Cun also specially ordered someone to prepare a banquet for them.

After arranging everything properly, Li Cun came to the backyard, and saw Fang Baihua leading a dozen young women waiting for Li Cun.

Seeing this, Li Cun pretended to smile bitterly: "You won't ask me to rest for a day?"

Fang Baihua didn't talk nonsense to Li Cun, she just waved her hand, and the group of Yingying and Yanyan rushed Li Cun into the room, and then they helped Li Cun wash up under Fang Baihua's guidance.

After Li Cun finished washing, Fang Baihua began to teach these young women who were waiting for Jin to do foot massage for Li Cun according to the method Li Cun taught Gu Lin and them before.

At this time, Fang Baihua said: "In a few days, the officials will lead the army to go out, and they may not be able to return. The parents, brothers, and relatives of these dozen or so sisters are still in prison waiting for the public trial. In case the officials After leaving, General Lu became jealous, and sent the parents, brothers and relatives of these dozen younger sisters to the public trial, so doesn't that make these dozen younger sisters unfilial daughters?"

As soon as Fang Baihua said this, all the young women from Jin Dynasty immediately served Li Cunlai more diligently.

Seeing this, Li Cun really didn't know if Fang Baihua was helping the young women who were waiting for Jin, or was he helping himself?

Fang Baihua said again: "If the officials want to rest, there is nothing they can do. The order issued by the officials is canceled, and the parents, brothers, and relatives of the dozen or so sisters' families are released. When they are here, the officials can rest as they like."

Release those talents who haven't been trained well, and manage such a large site by myself?Or rely on Zhou Zan, Wu Fang, Zheng Nan, Hu Tu and other market literati with a little knowledge of books and history to manage such a large site?
So, if you don't temper the temperament of those talents, if you don't completely tie them together, Li Cun will definitely not let them out.

Seeing that Li Cun didn't answer Fang Baihua's remarks at all, these young women waiting for Jin who thought they could save their families without sleeping with Li Cun immediately dismissed this unrealistic idea and continued to serve Li Cun hard. In order to get Li Cun's favor.

Seeing that Li Cun refused to let him go, Fang Baihua said: "When you are here, the officials should work harder."

There was no way, Li Cun could only go back to the bedroom to rest with his arms around the two most well-behaved young women waiting for Jin.

Unexpectedly, Li Cun entered the bedroom with his front foot, and Fang Baihua pushed two young women who were waiting for Jin into the room with his back foot, and then closed the door for Li Cun from the outside.

Then Bai Hua said to the remaining ten or so young women who were waiting to be promoted, "Don't worry, sisters, before the officials leave, I will make them all fulfill their wishes."

At this moment, Fang Baihua's image was so tall that all the young women waiting for Jin thought, "Is this the responsibility of the mistress?"

……

When Li Cun slept until midnight, he suddenly felt everything around him.

Li Cun did not act rashly, but secretly prepared for a sneak attack that might come at any time.

But Li Cun waited for a while, but what was waiting was not a surprise attack, but a thin figure quietly went down to the ground, then grabbed a quilt and wrapped it around herself, then tiptoed to the table by the window.

To Li Cun's great surprise, after he found a place where the moonlight was bright, he picked up a pen and began to write on the desk.

"What is she writing?"

Li Cun's eyesight is excellent, and in this dim environment, he quickly recognized this thin figure as the new young woman Qian Shi.

This Qian family is said to be a descendant of Qian Liu.

When it comes to Qian Liu, many people may find it unfamiliar.

However, if you give a few well-known examples, you will know that Qian Liu is a historical existence like a god.

Qian Liu served in the army with martial arts, made many military exploits, and became an extremely personable minister. In the second year of Emperor Zhaozong of Tang Dynasty, Qian Liu was granted the title of King of Yue, and later changed his title of King of Wu.

Zhu Wen usurped Tang and proclaimed himself emperor, established Houliang, made Qian Liu the king of Wuyue, and concurrently served as the governor of Huainan.

Later Liang Ying Wang Zhu Yougui killed his father and usurped the throne, and respected Qian Liu as "Father Shang".

Shangfu first refers to Jiang Ziya in the Zhou Dynasty, meaning a respectable father, and later generations use it as a title of honorable minister.

Three years later, Zhu Youzhen, king of Houliang Jun, launched a coup and seized the throne.

The world was divided, and after the addition of Liang emperors, the emperors changed frequently, so the princes of Xichuan, Huainan, Lingnan, Fujian and other places established their own kingdoms and proclaimed themselves emperors, and they all persuaded Qian Liu to separate Wuyue and proclaim themselves emperors, but Qian Liu declined them all.

In the third year of Longde in Houliang, Qian Liu was canonized as king of Wuyue by Houliang, thus formally establishing Wuyue Kingdom.

The capital of Wuyue Kingdom was Hangzhou, which was also the earliest time when Hangzhou became the official capital.

The terrain of Wuyue Kingdom is flat, lacking natural barriers, narrow area, surrounded by powerful enemies on three sides, and relying on the protection of the powerful Central Plains Dynasty is the best way for Wuyue Kingdom to survive.

Qian Liu has always been sober about this, so he kept his integrity, respected the Central Plains court, and paid tribute as usual, which also won the respect of several generations of emperors in the Later Liang Dynasty. , Qian Liu was able to protect the environment and the people, and build internal affairs with peace of mind.

In those years, Qian Liu has been committed to expanding Hangzhou City, inheriting culture, building Buddhist temple pagodas, and ordered to expand land reclamation, set up water conservancy troops, recruit a large number of soldiers and migrant workers, build seawalls, dredge inner lakes, dredge Xizi Lake, and dredge Qiantang Lake is connected with the canal.

Qian Liu made great efforts to control the water, and was called the "Dragon King of the Sea" by the people of Zhejiang and Zhejiang.

The improvement of water conservancy will benefit both tourism and irrigation, so that Hangzhou, Suzhou, Jiaxing, Changzhou and other places can enjoy the benefits of irrigation and promote agricultural development.

Therefore, in the Wuyue area, there are many fields and ponds, the land is fertile, the fishing salt and silkworms are well developed, and the years are ripe.

As a result, the economy, culture and people's livelihood in the Wuyue area have been thriving, prosperous and prosperous, the culture is prosperous, the literati are gathered, the talents are abundant, and the literature and art are famous in the world.

Qian Liu has thus become the person who has made the greatest efforts to develop the Jiangnan area and made the most famous development contribution in Chinese history, laying a solid foundation for the reputation of "Suzhou-Hangzhou Paradise".

Throughout his life, Qian Liu has been facing turbulent, complex and changeable situations, and many crises, but he was able to stand still, rule for decades, die in bed, and achieve outstanding achievements in governance, which can be called a historical miracle.

The Wuyue Kingdom founded by Qian Liu was hereditary from descendants, and has always paid tribute to the Central Plains Dynasty, so it was named a royal family by the Central Plains Dynasty, which lasted for three generations and five lords.

When Qian Hongchu, the king of Wuyue, continued to respect the Central Plains dynasty, conforming to the current situation, he gave up the independent status of the king of Wuyue and returned the land to the Song Dynasty, so that the Song Dynasty could achieve a peaceful unification and the people of Li could not suffer from wars.

Zhao Kuangyin said that "loyalty and filial piety are grand, only the Qian family".

Therefore, in the "Hundred Surnames" compiled by the Song Dynasty, the beginning is "Zhao Qian Sun Li", and the "Qian" surname is second only to the emperor's surname "Zhao".

Historically, the small imperial court of the Southern Song Dynasty was grateful for Qian Hongchu, the grandson of King Qian Liu of Wuyue, who returned to the Song Dynasty for his achievements to the Song Dynasty and Qian Liu’s historical contribution to Hangzhou, and named Hangzhou as "Lin'an Mansion" with his hometown "Lin'an". The capital is set in Lin'an Prefecture.

From this we can see how powerful the Qian family is and how famous they are in Hangzhou.

In fact, the Qian family of Wuyue has been recognized as "a famous family for thousands of years, the first family in Zhejiang and Zhejiang" until later generations.

And this Qian family is the only daughter of the Wuyue Qian family in this generation.

General Lu even secretly suggested that Li Cun marry Qian as his wife, in order to reassure Wu Yue's hearts.

But Li Cun felt that marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous person should not be made a regular wife just because of her family background, which may also cause foreign relatives to interfere in politics.

Moreover, this Qian family looks cute and cute, and he doesn't look like he can manage Li Cun's backyard that is destined to be extremely complicated.

In addition, Li Cun did not forget his promise to Baihua.

The point is, Li Cun's goal is the whole world, how can Li Cun see it in such a tiny place like Hangzhou?

So Li Cun rejected General Lu's suggestion.

Not only that, but because Li Cun was worried that Fang Baihua would think too much, he hadn't touched the child-like and tender-looking Qian Shi for so many days.

Of course, this was also because among those in the Qian family, there were indeed a few diehards, and Li Cunde worked hard on them.

But today, Fang Baihua pushed the Qian family in, and Li Cun also heard from General Lu that those diehard members of the Qian family have loosened up a bit in the past few days.

Considering that he was going to leave soon, and the remaining dozen or so had to be eaten before he left, Li Cun took advantage of the opportunity to eat Qian Shi as well.

The process of eating Qian's is still fresh in Li Cun's memory.

Others are either shy, or afraid, or pretend to be shy, or pretend to be scared.

But when she came to Qian's place, she was dumbfounded, and she would do whatever Li Cun asked her to do. If it weren't for Li Cun's rich experience, she would even suspect that Qian's is not the original one. Isn't this too cooperative? !
At this moment, Mrs. Qian did not sleep in the middle of the night, but wrapped herself in a quilt to write and draw, which made Li Cun very curious: "Who is she sending some news to? For example, my four daughters are not tired at night, and my body is extremely strong. You can't wait for me to die, so I have to adopt a more effective assassination method or something?"

Li Cun lightly removed the arms and thighs of the other three newly promoted young women, then quietly came behind Qian, and took a closer look.

Li Cun's jaw almost didn't drop after seeing what Qian's wrote clearly by the moonlight...
