Water Margin people

"Foolish Old Man Moves Mountains?"

Yu Yunwen was stunned. The story of Yugong moving the mountains was just a legend, but the mountains in Shu were real mountains, and that mountain range was much higher than the Taihang and Wangwu mountains.

"Yes, this is not an easy thing to do. It will take at least 10 to 20 years to achieve any results. And it is best for one person to do this all the time. Otherwise, if the official is replaced in a few years, how can this thing be accomplished?"

Sun Lei nodded and said that he had been thinking about developing Shuzhong. How could he just leave such a good place alone?

But he really didn't have any suitable people. The brothers of Liangshan were good at fighting and killing, but it was really difficult to ask them to engage in development.

As for those who are capable, the problem is that they are old and may not have decades to spend in Shu.

Sun Lei looked at Yu Yunwen in front of him. The more he looked, the more he felt that he was suitable. This guy was young, smart, and from Shu.

“It’s so fitting!”

Sun Lei thought to himself, how could he let go of such a suitable and ideal young talent?

"I can hold on! It is my dream to make Shuzhong prosperous!"

Yu Yunwen hesitated for a moment before speaking with a firm look.

"Remember what you said!"

Sun Lei looked at Yu Yunwen and said.

"Brother, you are joking. I am just talking nonsense after drinking!"

Yu Yunwen shook his head repeatedly. What he said was just a dream. It was okay to think about it, but if he took it seriously, he would be laughed at.

"Haha, it's not against the law if you think about it!"

Sun Lei did not reveal his identity, but just picked up the wine glass and smiled.

"By the way, I haven't asked your name yet! I am Yu Yunwen from Shuzhong!"

Yu Yunwen asked while looking at Sun Lei with a smile.

"My surname is Shi!"

Sun Lei just gave a fake surname.

"Brother Shi? You have the same last name as the brother who made the decision!"

Yu Yunwen spoke up. He remembered that the candidate who submitted the absolute vote was also a candidate named Shi, but he thought it was just a coincidence. If the absolute vote was submitted by the person in front of him, how could he not show up today?

"Haha, just the same last name!"

Sun Lei said with a smile.

"Brother Shi, have you ever been to Shu? It seems that you know a lot about Shu."

Yu Yunwen looked at Sun Lei and asked.

"Shuzhong! Of course I've been there. It's a great place, and the name of the Land of Abundance is well-deserved."

Sun Lei said with a smile.

"Haha, brother, you have good vision!"

Yu Yunwen was very happy to see the person in front of him commenting on his hometown in this way, and he raised his glass to toast Sun Lei.

Sun Lei naturally accepted all the drinks and started drinking from the glass.

On the other side, Lu Zhishen and Wu Song were also drinking happily. Lu Zhishen was talking about Buddhism to people, while Wu Song was talking about various things he had seen and heard.

Lu Zhishen has been meditating and worshipping Buddha in recent years. Although he fishes for three days and rests for two days, drinking, eating meat and practicing martial arts all day long, he has real wisdom and has learned a lot from Buddhism.

Sun Lei was actually a little curious. If Lu Zhishen really practiced Zen and sought enlightenment seriously, would he really be able to become a famous monk?

Wu Song has fought many battles over the years, and his knowledge and experience are far beyond the reach of those scholars who turn a deaf ear to the world outside and only focus on reading the books of sages.

"These two are truly amazing, with great bearing and broad knowledge. No wonder they can come up with such an absolute answer!"

Yu Yunwen also looked at the lively crowd in the distance.

"Haha, you look so impressive? I think you are just a good-for-nothing!"

Sun Lei glanced at Lu Zhishen. This monk did nothing but drink and eat meat every day. As for being majestic and imposing, he was not at all.

"Hey, Brother Shi, how can you judge people by appearance? Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. Although those two people's literary talent is average, their knowledge is really admirable."

Yu Yunwen spoke.

"Haha, that's the truth!"

Sun Lei said with a smile. After drinking for a while, Yu Yunwen and Sun Lei got along better and better, and it seemed like they had met too late.

"Brother Shi, there are too many people here, why don't you go to the small courtyard I rented and have another drink? I'll introduce you to some friends!"

Yu Yunwen looked at Sun Lei and invited him.

"Oh? Your friend? Is he from Shu?"

Sun Lei asked.

"No, they are all candidates I know in Liangshan City! They are all very knowledgeable and talented people."

Yu Yunwen spoke.

"Oh, then I'd like to go and meet him."

Sun Lei said with a smile that he didn't really know much about the candidates taking the spring examination. It was difficult to understand a person just by looking at the test paper.

"Then let's go there!"

Yu Yunwen immediately called Sun Lei to join him.

Sun Lei gave a look to the guards who were accompanying him and left.

Sun Lei followed Yu Yunwen to a small courtyard in the outer city. Although Yu Yunwen's family was rich, this was Liangshan City. It was the spring examination period, and the rental prices were rising sharply.

However, Sun Lei had already made arrangements. Candidates could stay at the official station with their admission tickets, and the fees were very cheap.

"Brother Yu, this courtyard is nice!"

Sun Lei looked at the quiet courtyard and said with a smile.

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Brother Shi. I just wanted to have some peace and quiet. The posthouse is too noisy."

Yu Yunwen clasped his fists hurriedly. He was not a person who sought pleasure, but when he lived in the inn, people came to his house every day to try to get close to him, which made him very annoyed. In the end, he had to rent a small courtyard with his own money.

"Understood! Understood!"

Sun Lei said with a smile that too many visitors would definitely be annoying, especially for candidates taking the spring examination. They hate irrelevant interruptions at this time, except for those who like-minded people discussing study problems.

Not long after the two arrived at the courtyard, many people came to visit.

"Brother Shi, I just happened to have an appointment with them to discuss some knowledge today. I'll excuse myself for a moment!"

Yu Yunwen smiled and stood up and went to the door.

A moment later, Yu Yunwen brought many people into the courtyard.

"Everyone, this is Brother Shi, he is very knowledgeable and experienced!"

Yu Yunwen smiled and introduced Sun Lei to those people.

"Brother Shi."

Those people naturally smiled and saluted Sun Lei. Anyone who was so favored by Yu Yunwen must not be simple.

"Brother Shi, these are Hu Quan, Zhou Bida, Wang Shipeng, Zhao Ruyu, Chao Gongwu, Li Tao, Liu Zheng, Yang Wanli, You Mao, Chen Juren, Wang Zhi, Zhao Shanjun, Qiu Wan..."

Yu Yunwen introduced them to Sun Lei one by one.

Sun Lei looked at these people in surprise. These people could be said to be all-encompassing.

In terms of age alone, there are those who are nearly 40 years old and those who are 17 or 18 years old, with a span of 20 years.

It can also be seen from their clothes that these people come from different backgrounds. Some are from rich families, some are from poor families, some are from schools, some are from academies, and the oldest may even be self-taught at home.

"Brother Yu, I am so honored today to be able to make friends with so many learned people!"

Sun Lei looked at Yu Yunwen and smiled. He discovered another advantage of Yu Yunwen. This guy has a wide range of friends, from people as young as ninety-nine to children.

"Haha, it's an honor for us to meet Brother Shi!"

The crowd said with a smile.

"Let's sit down and talk. Let's sit down and talk."

Yu Yunwen asked everyone to sit down and asked the servant to prepare tea.

A literary exchange meeting started just like that. This was Sun Lei's first time attending one, so he found it quite strange. (End of this chapter)
