Wei and Jin Cooks

  Chapter 674 Wei Jie

  His friends huddled beside him and sighed: "Next time we meet bandits, if they don't have a good eye and don't look at your face, then we will surely die."

  Wang Xuan's face turned dark, and said: "My father is dead, I have to go back to collect him, not to mention my sister is still missing, I have to go back to Luoyang."

   "Now I've added another one," he said, raising the booklet in his hand, "I'm going to defect to Zhao Hanzhang, avenge my father, and recover the lost land."

   "Whether it's public or private, I have to go back to Luoyang."

   Seeing that he had made up his mind, his friends sighed and stopped persuading him.

  Wang Xuan also knew that the road was dangerous, so he didn't ask his friends to go with him, he said: "This place is not very far from Langya, why don't you go to Langya and join Langya King."

  He said: "There is no peace in the Central Plains, but there is Qingzhou above Xuzhou to block it. For the time being, it will be fine, but there are many thieves on the road. Be careful."

  The remaining three people were shocked, "You want to go to Luoyang alone?"

  Wang Xuan pointed to the servant who collapsed on the ground beside him and said: "I still have a long follower, that's enough."

   That's enough shit, there were more than 30 of them including guards and servants before, and now only twelve survived, which is how many times they escaped from the hands of bandits.

   Really let the two of them leave like this, maybe they will die quietly at the hands of bandits sometime.

   Several of his friends hesitated for a moment, and immediately someone said: "I will walk with you."

  Wang Xuan could see that he had no reason to go to Luoyang, put his hand on his shoulder, and laughed loudly: "Forget it, don't follow me around, if you really want to go together, I have to take care of you."

  Wang Xuan patted him on the shoulder and said: "I'll go by myself, hurry up, even faster."

  Pei Yang asked hesitantly, "Where did you get the horse?"

  The other two also turned their heads to look at Wang Xuan, yes, where did you get the horse from?

  Constantly being robbed, encountering bandits, and they just ran out of the bandit's den, let alone horses, they didn't even have money for food.

  Wang Xuan also froze, but he quickly became optimistic, waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, I will find someone and write a fu with them."

  Thinking of Wang Xuan's words, the three of them lifted their spirits and became optimistic.

  Wang Xuannai was the leader of their generation, he wrote Fu well, and his handwriting was even better. Although his handwriting was not as good as his father's, it was not far behind.

  As long as you can find the local gentry, write a picture, write your name on it, and you will be able to pay for it. Maybe you can even have a horse and a cart.

  So everyone stood up one after another, and shouted happily: "Let's go, move forward quickly, don't waste time, it's hard to find someone after dark."

  Everyone surrounded Wang Xuan to find someone who seemed to be living a good life.

  Like Zu Ti and Wang Xuan, many gentry were moved by Zhao Hanzhang’s paper. The general trend of the world she discussed in the article was recognized by many people, and the future she envisioned also touched the hearts of many people.

   Among them, the gentry who were forced to move south were the most.

They are the gentry who moved south one after another due to the turmoil in the past two years, but their life in the south is not easy. Although there is no war here, they are excluded and despised by the local gentry and gentry, and they have suffered a lot both physically and psychologically. hit.

   If you want to say who most wants to regain the lost land and stabilize the North, it is none other than these gentry.

  The elders have no fighting spirit, but many young people have great ambitions.

  Although the Great Jin Dynasty was in chaos at this time, it was not as decadent as it would be ten years later, so many people, like Zu Ti and Wang Xuan, closed their books and packed up their things and headed north.

  Some people decided to go to Zhao Hanzhang, and some decided to go directly to Yuncheng to join the emperor and Gou Xi.

   Anyway, no matter who it is, the two parties must cooperate in the end to regain the lost ground together.

In a quiet small courtyard in Poyang County, Yangzhou, Wei Jie leaned against the window and read the booklet over and over again, until the sound of walking outside the house, Wei Jie slowly closed the booklet, but he still held it in his hand and refused to let it go .

  Seeing his mother coming in, he immediately wanted to stand up and salute, but he only moved a little, and Mrs. Wang quickly stepped forward, held him down and said, "Mother and son, why do you need to be so polite, just sit down and don't move."

  She took the goat milk from the maid, put it on the table in front of him, and said softly: "You eat less in the morning, so you should use more, so that your body will have vitality."

  Wei Jie responded, put the booklet on the table, picked up the bowl and drank gently.

   Mrs. Wang glanced at the brochure, sighed and asked, "You've been reading this brochure for three days, why are you still reading it?"

   Wei Jie finished drinking the goat milk, lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, and said, "Mother, I want to go back to Luoyang."

   Wang's face didn't change much, he just asked, "Why?"

  He said: "Originally, I took my mother to the south and separated from my brother in order to give the family a chance to live. He is loyal and I am filial."

"But I'm from the north. Even if I receive more courtesy in the south, it's not easy for the Wei family to get ahead here. You have seen the situation in the past two months. My Wei family wants to buy a piece of land, no matter how high the price is. No one would dare to sell it to us unless the local gentry let go, even if I, Wei Jie, have a good reputation here, it will be in vain."

Wei Jie's fingers pressed **** the booklet, and his light-white fingers were a little **** under the sun. He said: "I heard that Zhao Hanzhang has opened recruitment examinations three times. In her eyes, she is not stingy with official positions; "

"I also heard merchants who came to Jiangnan say that the commercial tax in Yuzhou is extremely low now, and it is the lowest among the major prefectures. She also sent Zhao Jiajun to clean up the bandits on both sides of the official road to ensure the safety of merchants." Wei Jie. Said: "Since she has such a heart, then her great wish to recover the lost land may come true."

   Wang said with a dazed face: "With such great ambition, how many men can't make it, can she do it?"

   Wei Jie clenched the booklet in his hand, pursed his lips and said, "I think it is possible, and I want to try it."

   Wang didn't speak for a moment.

  Wei Jie said softly: "Mother, this is for the sake of the family. Originally, my elder brother was loyal to His Majesty. I took the family south. One is to survive, and the other is to find another way out. Now it is just replacing the south with Zhao Hanzhang."

  He said: "My elder brother and I go east and west. In the future, no matter whether Gou Xi takes power alone or Zhao Hanzhang makes a step forward, the Wei family will have a safe place."

  Wang saw that he had planned so much for the family and his eyes were firm, so he knew he couldn't stop him, so he sighed and asked, "Are we all going to move back?"

   "No," Wei Jie said, "Mother and clan brothers go to Kuaiji, and I will take one or two clan members back to Luoyang."

  Ms. Wang was startled, "Aren't we going?"

Wei Jie nodded, with sad eyes, held her hand and said, "Mum, I'm afraid I can't be as filial as before. There are strong enemies in the north. Once Zhao Hanzhang and Gou Xi can't work together to regain their homeland, the Central Plains will fall. Yanzhou, Yuzhou and Sizhou will not be spared, let the family foundation stay in the south of the Yangtze River temporarily, if my brother and I...then there are still members of the Wei family, if my brother and I have good news, then the clan will be moved back."
