Wudang Xiaodao Boy

Chapter 190 Qingtian Has Liu Bowen

Regarding Li Shanchang's inquiry, Liu Bowen did not give a positive answer. Liu Bowen was a well-known teacher, and he was full of ambitions at the beginning. At the age of 23, Liu Bowen rushed to the Dadu capital of the Yuan Dynasty to take part in the general examination. In the wilderness and turmoil, the war continued, and he lived at home for three years.

Later, he was awarded the title of Prime Minister of Gao'an County, Jiangxi by the Yuan Dynasty government, and assisted the county magistrate in handling government affairs.He was diligent in his duties, enforced the law strictly, and quickly made political achievements.

He went deep into the countryside, observed the people's sentiments, and discovered that some gentry and landowners in Gao'an County colluded with corrupt officials, lawless, defrauding people of money, taking away their wives and daughters, and committing all kinds of crimes.

After Liu Bowen listened to the cries of the people, he was filled with righteous indignation and determined to eliminate harm for the people.After unannounced investigations and real evidence, several tyrannical bullies with notorious deeds were resolutely punished severely, and corrupt officials in the county government were also rectified. The social atmosphere in Gao'an County soon improved.

Liu Bowen is upright and upright, and his uprightness has won the praise of the people.During his five years as an official, the principle of handling local affairs was "strict but sympathetic", and he was sympathetic to the people's feelings, but did not condone illegal behaviors;

Therefore, he was loved by the local people, but because of his integrity, the local gentry hated him deeply and always wanted to find trouble to frame him. Fortunately, the chief and his subordinates trusted him as a man, so they were spared the disaster.

After resigning from office, Liu Bowen returned to Qingtian, ignoring worldly affairs, living a happy life, waiting for the Ming Lord.

Seeing that Liu Bowen didn't answer his words, Li Shanchang didn't take it seriously, and continued: "Then do you think that Zhang Shicheng can be regarded as the master?"

"Things flock together, and people are divided into groups. You can almost know who he is by looking at the people around him. Looking at the soldiers just now, you know that Zhang Jiusi must be arrogant and domineering. How could this kind of person be the master?" Liu Bowen took a sip of tea and said calmly, "Junior brother, it seems that you have already found the master, so why are you testing me here?"

"Hahaha, brother knows me! How about you and me going together?" Li Shanchang smiled lightly, and Liu Bowen smiled without answering, and changed the subject without a trace, talking about a subset of classics and history, and exchanging knowledge.

Li Shanchang gradually became a little anxious, "Senior brother, I have indeed found the Ming Lord. Now is the time when he is hiding in the abyss, and it is also the best time for us to assist him, so I came to invite senior brother to come out of the mountain with me to help Ming lord!"

"The red dragon is strong and violent. It can start in troubled times, but it may not be a wise master in the future. Junior brother, be careful." Liu Bowen shook his head and smiled, and then said no more.

Li Shanchang played with the tea bowl in his hand, he refused to put it down for a long time, and then said: "Senior brother's words are also reasonable, I don't know who the senior brother is interested in, why don't you tell me and let me have a look at it?"

Liu Bowen pointed in one direction and asked, "What do you think, Junior Brother?"

Li Shanchang's face changed slightly, "Are you optimistic about those gangsters in the southwest? Brother, are you out of your mind?" Li Shanchang asked in surprise.

Li Shanchang just stared at Liu Bowen, hoping he could give him an answer.

"Don't you think they are very interesting? I really want to see them." Liu Bowen said very seriously.

"You are a Confucian, how can you go to that kind of place? Besides, who do you go to help, they don't even have a leader in name!" Li Shanchang was really anxious.

What Li Shanchang said is not unreasonable. The land of the Southwest is really a situation without a leader.

Is Qingfeng the leader?No, have you ever seen a leader who had nothing to do and went to fight in the palace of the enemy's capital?He spends more time lazily, drinking, and having fun.At most it's just an idea.

Is Chen Youliang the leader?No, he is mainly responsible for training the army, and of course he will also be responsible for fighting in all directions in the future. His position is more like a marshal.

Sister Xiao'e and Yang Yiyi are responsible for the martial arts training of people in the Jianghu.Teaching the right exercises to the right people, teaching Zhang Sanfeng Jiuyang magic skills, and teaching young children Taizu Changquan are all within the scope of their accusations.

Yan Qianxun is responsible for the affairs of the intelligence agency, the establishment, collection, aggregation, and analysis of the intelligence network.Persuading surrender, instigating rebellion, assassination, and sabotage are all under her control.

Zhu Jiuzhen is in charge of business, internal and external trade, and the opening of business routes are all her business.

Zhu Changling became the Minister of Education, and led Weibi and others to teach and educate people. He really taught people without discrimination. According to his words, I will not allow illiterates within our jurisdiction!
The Wudang and Emei factions are responsible for weapon manufacturing and ground security in the southwest most of the time.

Mingjiao is just a cooperative relationship, and the two parties do not belong to each other, but only a relationship of mutual exchange.

As for government affairs, everyone is discussing and setting a policy, and the subordinates will implement it step by step.

If there is a disagreement, it is usually decided by a vote of these few people at the top.

The candidate that Qingfeng thought of was Liu Bowen, and Qingfeng was on his way to Qingtian at this time...

"A group of dragons without a leader means that everyone in the world is a dragon, and the world belongs to the people in the world. Isn't this the world of great harmony that my Confucianism pursues?"

Li Shanchang also knew what the situation in the Southwest was like. They actually required the daughters of the tenants to be literate over fifty.Is my Confucian knowledge used to be so bad?The way of Confucius and Mencius is such a profound study, how can these mud legs learn it.

And the Southwest doesn't care if you are a Confucian scholar or not, as long as you have talent, you can be an official. How can the Confucianists who are all low-ranked and only educated can bear it?
There is a saying that imperial power does not go to the countryside. This has been a tradition for more than 1000 years from Qin Shihuang to the present, but these reckless people don't care about it at all.

Do you think you are a landlord, so you dare to be a tyrant in the countryside?Then I will beat the local tyrants and divide the land!
Do you think you are the patriarch, so you dare to let someone else's beautiful girl marry your stupid son?Then I will hold a bitter memory meeting, let everyone accuse you, the incompetent patriarch, tell all the dirty deeds you have done, and then destroy you on behalf of justice.

As long as you violate the law, no matter who you are, you will be punished by the law. Why can't you be punished by a doctor?Sorry, we are vulgar warriors, never heard of it!

All kinds of concepts have formed a huge conflict with Confucianism.It has to be said that Confucianism was taken aback by Zhao's support.The Zhao Song Dynasty claimed to rule the world with the scholar-officials, remember, it is the scholar-bureaucrats, not the people of the world to rule the world together!
So even if Zhao Song died, this group of Confucian scholars still miss them, why?Because their Confucian scholars are so-called scholar-bureaucrats!

Most of the Confucian scholars and literati headed by Li Shanchang now look forward to finding a master who can restore the rule of the world with the scholar-bureaucrats, but the east, west and south want to rule the world together with the people of the world. Although this is a difference in words, it is It's a world of difference, no wonder he objected so much.

But the Southwest seems to be short of you great Confucians, it seems that it is not impossible, there is no material for teaching and educating people?There is Zhu Wu Lianhuan Zhuang. Dali’s royal collection is basically there. Without some Confucian cultural confinement, it develops faster.

Without you gentry and local tyrants, without your set of monarchs and ministers, would we not be able to live on?Hey, don't mind, we unite the working people at the bottom who you look down on the most, and we live better.

Li Shanchang only saw the interests of Confucianism, and was blinded by these interests, so he couldn't see the rapid development of the Southwest. Although the Southwest is not rich now, at least everyone has food, and there will be no phenomenon of selling children and selling women , children can read books, the elderly are also taken care of, and it can barely be regarded as a paradise on earth.

These are different changes in Liu Bowen's eyes. Liu Bowen is different from ordinary orthodox literati, perhaps because he has been an official for several years and has seen the darkness of officialdom, so he doesn't care so much about the interests of Confucian scholars. He mostly cares about the interests of the people in the world, and his mind is much wider than others.

He is a wise man, and he is also gradually summing up why the world cannot get out of the vicious circle where one dynasty replaces another, so he hopes that he can go to the southwest to see if there can bring him new inspiration .

However, Li Shanchang said that this incident was unimaginable, "Brother, if you go to the Southwest to become an official, it is tantamount to cutting yourself off from the scholars, and you will not have a place in Confucianism in the future. Brother, you must think carefully!"

"No hurry, it's still early, listen..." Liu Bowen chuckled, "Someone is here."

"Huh?" Li Shanchang stood on the spot, closed his eyes, and opened them after a while, "38 horses, [-] people."

"Wrong, there are 38 horses and [-] people. Tonger..." Liu Bowen whispered outside the house, "Tonger, hurry up and get ready. A distinguished guest is coming, go prepare some good tea, and I need to change clothes."

"As for what? What kind of character can senior brother attach so much importance to?" Li Shanchang was very curious about Liu Bowen's actions.

"Who do you think can deceive the ears of junior brother?" Liu Bowen smiled mysteriously, after finishing speaking, he straightened his clothes and went out, and came to the intersection to wait for someone to come.

After a while, I heard two horses running over first. "If you two are not in a hurry, you can take a rest in the hut below." Liu Bowen bowed his hands and saluted.

"Huh? There's an ambush here? Are you with the group of people behind?" These two people are naturally Qingfeng and Yang Yiyi. Ever since they left Xiangyang City, they have been targeted by the Mongols and beat them away. One batch will come and another batch will come, hanging so far away, doing nothing, and not knowing what the purpose is.

Liu Bowen shook his head with a smile and made a gesture of invitation.

"Okay, it's interesting, let's take a break for now." Qingfeng looked at Costin in the sky again, which was also the reason why they couldn't get rid of the Mongols behind them. "We are imperial court offenders, aren't you afraid that we will cause you trouble?"

"Hehe, what kind of trouble might it cause? At worst, I'll go to Xiangyang with you. It's nothing to worry about. Please come inside!" Liu Bowen laughed.

"Eh? You know me?...So, you are Liu Ji? Liu Bowen? Liu..." Qingfeng looked at the middle-aged Confucian scholar and asked.

"That's right, it's me." Liu Bowen led the way and brought Qingfeng and Yang Yiyi into the hut.

"I said, it's not bad here! This tree is like Qimen Dunjia, learned from Zhuge Liang?" As soon as Qingfeng came in, he found that the arrangement of trees outside Liu Bowen's hut was very strange. It should be the eight secrets of Zhuge Wuhou. Array diagram.

"That's right, I didn't expect the Taoist master to be proficient in this way?" Liu Bowen understood the formation at a glance when he saw Qingfeng, thinking that Qingfeng was also proficient in the formation.

Unexpectedly, Qingfeng shook his head and said: "I don't understand, she will, I just saw her pose, which is similar to yours." Qingfeng pointed at Yang Yiyi, and Yang Yiyi nodded and smiled in response.

"Oh? Miss, what do you think of my formation?" Liu Bowen asked.

"That's right, it's just a little smaller, but there aren't many changes, but it's enough to deal with some thieves. Don't worry about talking, the gang outside can't get in." Yang Yiyi casually glanced at it and said .

"A master! I didn't expect that the girl is a master of this way. When I arrive in Xiangyang, I will definitely ask the girl for more advice." Liu Bowen clasped his fists and saluted again, and Yang Yiyi returned the salute and nodded in agreement.

"Hey! Hey! Hey! I haven't planned to invite you to Xiangyang yet?" Qingfeng was a little confused about the situation.

"Then why are you here?" Liu Bowen asked back.

"...plan to take you back to Xiangyang." Qingfeng said a little depressed.

"It's not over, I agreed, what kind of official do you plan to give me? When will you leave?" Liu Bowen continued to ask.

"Of course, the sooner the better. Before we came here, we discussed it and planned to let you be the governor of the Southwest, in charge of all government affairs in the Southwest. Of course, the sooner the better." Qingfeng answered every question.

"Hiss..." Li Shanchang breathed a sigh of relief, what courage!Without any test, directly handing over such a great power to a person who met for the first time?Outstanding?Reckless?
Liu Bowen was taken aback when he heard this, and then he sobered up and said, "Okay! I agree! Let's go!"

"No, wait a minute, I'm a little dizzy, I'll take care of it! I came to ask you to be an official in the Southwest, you agreed, and then we will go back to the Southwest...Mr. Liu, why do I always feel that something is missing?"

"What's missing?" Liu Bowen asked in confusion, then came to his senses, and laughed loudly: "Oh, I see, is it because the process of you persuading me to go out of the mountain is missing, and the plot of visiting the thatched cottage three times is missing?"

"Yes! Yes! Yes! That's it! I prepared a whole lot of words, and I didn't say a single word, so you're going to run away with me, isn't it too casual?" Qingfeng also suddenly said.

"do you need?"

"Don't you need it?"

"Is it really necessary?"

"Is it really necessary?"

"Then say something."

"I...I'm talking nonsense, you are planning to leave with me, what else am I talking to you about, go, pack your bags! There is no sense of accomplishment at all." The more Qingfeng said, the more depressed she became.

"Hahaha, doesn't it seem that the Southwest King is so charming! Just stop at random and make people willing to follow and be driven." Liu Bowen joked.

"Where is the King of Southwest? Our principle is to build high walls, accumulate food widely, and become king slowly. Besides, who is the King of Southwest? It's not me anyway." When Liu Bowen called himself the King of Southwest, Qingfeng twitched the corner of his mouth, Said disdainfully.

Both Liu Bowen and Li Shanchang's eyes lit up, they didn't expect Qingfeng to say these nine words.

Especially Li Shanchang was the most shocked. Logically speaking, he should have brought this up to Zhu Chongba, and he is just having such an idea in his heart now.Unexpectedly, Qingfeng and the others have already started to practice.

Seeing Liu Bowen in a daze, Qingfeng asked, "Is there any question?"
