Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 736

Although he didn't leave Niuzhuji and went down the river to Suzhou directly, but the waterway was smooth and news exchanged, and Fang Jun also knew the rumors about him among the current market in Suzhou.

Blood is like life, killing is like hemp, and human life is reckless... Said that this battle of his own not only killed tens of thousands of rioters in the mountains, but also engulfed thousands of Han people in Xuanrun and Erzhou.

What's more, he said that he specially hunted and killed young boys, and then smashed their heads to suck their brains. He was even more cruel than Shi Sui, the emperor of Zhao who cooked nun's meat mixed with cattle and sheep. He was simply a humanoid beast. .

Fang Jun knew that this was a counterattack launched by the Jiangnan gentry unwillingly. It seems that the dead soldiers killed by Niu Zhuji did touch the pain of the Jiangnan gentry.The gentry in the south of the Yangtze River have always regarded themselves as "Chinese clothes". To a certain extent, they do represent the most authentic Han family tradition.Compared with the increasingly mixed blood in the north, they are purer. Therefore, most of the time, the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River have to pay attention to face. Such a blow would not cause him to launch such a counterattack regardless of face.

Bad reputation, slandering charges, this is the most despicable method...

Reputation is very important in this era. Defilement of a person's reputation is like murdering one's parents. This is a death feud.Without a good reputation, it is a bit exaggerated to say that it is difficult to move an inch, but it does have a great impact on Fang Jun's subsequent Jiangnan layout, and the negative effects are very obvious.

But right now, Fang Jun still has no time to be upset and angry.

When the war is over, the battle damage must be counted in detail.The soldiers who stayed on the mountain died 24 people, and most of them were killed in the previous few times when the Shanyue people charged. In the final decisive battle, because of the armor protection, the morale of the Shanyue coalition army collapsed in the blink of an eye. On the contrary, the casualties were almost can be ignored.

These soldiers who died in battle must report the list to the Ministry of War and ask for credit for them. Although a person is dead, the credit can be extended to his family.For a civilian family, the merits of sacrificing their lives for the country and quelling bureaucratic chaos are enough to ensure that they do not have to pay various taxes and land rent within three generations, allowing the family to live happily and stably.

The most troublesome thing is the method of coking... This is really new, and Fang Jun is also blinded.In desperation, I can only use his big move - anyway, I know the principle, and let the craftsmen below to test the rest, as long as the direction is correct, there will always be research results...

Just when he felt dejected and regretted why he didn't read more miscellaneous books or take more homework when he was in school, Xi Junmai came to report that a farmer Yuming from the country asked to see him.

"Yuming's family?" Fang Jun was stunned, what kind of weird surname is this?He had never heard of it, and was upset about coking, so he waved his hand casually: "I haven't heard of it, I don't see it." Immediately, he frowned and thought hard, trying to search for even the coking information from his increasingly fading memory. A tiny bit of clues...

Xi Junmai turned around and exited.

After a while, the knock on the door sounded again.

Fang Jun interrupted his train of thought, and said angrily, "Don't bother me!"

"Hehe, the Master said: Isn't it a joy to have friends coming from afar? Why does the Marquis disrespect favors and reject the guests?" A voice sounded very refreshing even though it was old.

Fang Jun was taken aback, got up and opened the door.

An old man with a wide robe and a high crown on his head stood in front of the door with a smile on his face.The old man was tall and thin, with a big frame, and the loose robes he wore fluttered down his sleeves, giving him a somewhat fairy-like charm.

Fang Jun's heart tightened, and he subconsciously looked around.

Xi Junmai was standing behind the old man with a strange expression...

In order to prevent the Jiangnan gentry from retaliating, the iron factory has long been heavily guarded by soldiers. Why did Xi Junmai bring the old man here even though he refused?
"Mountain man, pay homage to Lord Hou."

The old man bowed and saluted perfectly, then straightened his waist, smiled warmly, and the creases on his face seemed to be like blooming chrysanthemums: "It's really abrupt to visit here. But Lord Hou is a man of great wisdom, and his bones are very insightful." Extraordinary, if you think about it, you won't be like those ordinary people, rejecting people thousands of miles away."

Although this old man is not young, his speech and demeanor give people a kind of comfort and kindness like a spring breeze, and it is difficult to feel bad.

Fang Jun glared at Xi Junmai, who was worried, and said with a smile: "The old man is absurd, how can I be so good, can I call it a comment with a pure bone? As for the great wisdom, I am laughing at it."

Uncommon at the root?

Could it be that this old man is a master in the hidden world, and he couldn't bear to lose his unique skills. Seeing that he is a martial arts prodigy, he came out of the mountain and wanted to accept him as an apprentice, and teach him all his peerless cultivation bases?

Then he can punch Li Yuanba, kick Pei Yuanqing, and bloody Yuwen Chengdu?
Your mother!
This is a time-traveling novel for me, not fantasy, let alone "Shuo Tang"...

However, the old man looked weird, but he seemed innocent, so he turned sideways and said: "I'm a guest from afar, if the old man doesn't dislike the shabby house, why not come in and talk about it?"

The old man laughed loudly, and entered the letter: "The old man has been poor all his life, and he has been with rotten wood and stubborn stones. He is simple or prosperous, and I am just a passing cloud!"

While the old man walked into the house, Fang Jun stared at Xi Junmai and said in a low voice, "Didn't you say you didn't see him, why did you let him in?"

Xi Junmai looked terrified, swallowed his saliva, and murmured: "It wasn't put in, he walked in by himself! This old man... is so evil, he walked ten steps from the iron furnace to here ..."

Fang Jun opened his mouth wide, stretched his neck to look at the iron furnace behind the iron factory, and then looked at the house on the edge of the mine behind him. It's hundreds of meters away, right?
ten steps?

Is this "eight steps to drive the toad" or "fly on the grass"?
But guessing that Xi Junmai didn't have the courage to play tricks on himself, he had to order him to stand outside the door, and if he found any movement in the house, he would immediately rush in to rescue him!
Xi Junmai nodded fiercely, still feeling that he was not safe, so he repeatedly waved and called a pair of soldiers patrolling not far away, and stood in front of the door, waiting in full force.

Fang Jun turned back to the room, and the old man sat on the chair by himself, swayed leisurely a few times, and was amazed: "This kind of long-legged chair is very comfortable to sit on, and the back can bear the force, even if you work for a long time. Shaped in a copybook, it can also maintain physical strength to the maximum. It is really a wonderful workmanship! This long-legged scorpion was designed by Lord Hou, right? Wisdom, we can all kill ourselves..."

"It's just a plaything, how dare you call it wisdom?"

"Your Majesty is ridiculous! What is great wisdom? Cars on the road, boats in the water, fire made from trees, and soil plowed. These things seem ordinary and worthless, but which one can't be created by a man of great wisdom? Seeing waves everywhere is great wisdom!"

The old man has a straight face.

Fang Jun froze for a moment, could this old man be a philosopher?
"There is no need to praise me for a little bit of trivia, and if I continue to praise, I will feel ashamed." Sitting on another chair, Fang Jun said.

This old man is too strange, as the saying goes, "Being courteous, one must expect something from others", what is the purpose of all kinds of compliments as soon as they meet?
The old man obviously disagreed with Fang Jun's words, and said displeasedly: "Then, among Lord Yihou, who can be called great wisdom?"

Fang Jun thought for a while, and said: "In the subtle places, the mustard seeds are hidden in the mustard seeds, and the mustard seeds are contained in the mustard seeds, which can be called great wisdom; in the vast places, the sun rises and the moon sets, and the stars revolve, which can be called great wisdom."

In fact, this is not Fang Jun’s original intention. The power of science is everywhere. Going to Mars is great wisdom, but is it not great wisdom to make fire by drilling wood?Discovering the God particle is great wisdom, but understanding why one plus one equals two is not great wisdom?
The old man's words are right, seeing waves in ordinary places is great wisdom!

But Fang Jun always felt that the old man was mysterious and weird, so he didn't follow him, just to raise an argument!

The old man also seemed to be aware of Fang Jun's state of mind, he chuckled and didn't take it seriously: "It seems that Lord Hou is still hard to let go of the old man's presumptuous visit. Well, the old man will not go around in circles, let's just talk about it."

As he said that, he stared at Fang Jun with shining eyes, and said slowly: "This old man has been immersed in all kinds of mechanical and strange skills all his life. The old man has dabbled in iron making and casting, but he can't do it if he wants to break his head." I don’t know how Hou Ye can cast hundreds of armored riding gear overnight! I wonder if Hou Ye can tell me?”
