Chapter 285: God’s calculation "Ah" "Hiss" Zhang Yi and Song Ke staggered a few steps as if they had been hit in the head, and almost fell down.
It would be fine if both of them were rotten Confucians who only read one Analects of Confucius throughout their lives.
Liu Bowen's words would not have any impact on them.
It just so happens that these two are both well-read and knowledgeable.
They all clearly remember the decades-long turmoil in the late Han Dynasty, which brought disaster to China.
According to historical records, the population in the late Han Dynasty once reached more than 70 million.
By the time Cao Cao cut off the northern heroes and eliminated all the Yellow Turban tribes, the total population of the country, including those under Liu Bei and Sun Quan, was less than seven million.
The Biography of Zhang Xiu in Wei Zhi describes, "At this time, household registrations in the world were reduced, and one of the ten tailors was here."
The book of Jin described it even more tragically, "From the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty to the end of Jian'an, in the past thirty years, thousands of people with surnames Dispersion, death, and extreme chaos."
In other words, what Cao Cao said in Hao Li Xing, "White bones are exposed in the wild, and there are no roosters crowing for thousands of miles" is not an exaggeration at all, but a bloody fact.
Later, although the Sima family briefly reunited the country, China's vitality had been lost due to decades of warlords.
Then, there was the Wu Huan Hua, which lasted for more than 130 years.
The five barbaric tribes of Nu, Xianbei, Jie, Qiang, and Di have been wreaking havoc in northern China for a long time, killing people and massacring cities as if they were commonplace.
The descendants of China were either slaves or serving as military rations, and were almost exterminated.
It is already late spring, but the spring breeze is as cold as a knife, constantly cutting into people's bones.
For a moment, all three people lost the courage to speak and stood blankly in the pavilion, each thinking about their own thoughts and trembling.
There is no order.
The policies implemented by Zhu Fozi in Huaiyang brought incredible prosperity to the region in a very short period of time.
However, it did not reflect any order.
The old concepts of seniority and inferiority, the virtuous and foolish, the noble and the humble, the scholar-peasant, the industrialist and the merchant, were all smashed to pieces by him, intentionally or unintentionally.
But he himself seemed to have no interest in establishing a new order at all, and he did whatever he wanted.
Just live like this without tomorrow, being a monk for a day and ringing the clock.
Who can guarantee that he will not break the clock one day or bring all his followers and the people under his rule into the abyss?
While he was thinking sadly, several concerned questions suddenly came to his ears, "Bowen, Sanyi, Zhongwen, what's wrong with the three of you?
You are so crazy.
It's such a hot day that you are actually holding your arms and shivering."
"Uncle Master, Mr.
Sanyi, Zhong Wen, what's wrong with you three?
Why are your faces so pale?"
"Ah" Zhang Yi and Song Ke realized where they were at this moment.
They both turned their heads and handed over to Shi Naian and Luo Ben.
"An Gong, Qingyuan, I'm really ashamed.
I just talked to the Qingtian layman."
Talking about the past and present, I accidentally got distracted and didn’t see you coming back.”
"It's rare to tremble when talking about the past and the present."
Shi Naian returned the greeting with a smile, and then quickly changed the subject, "My lord heard that the three of you were coming, and came to visit you personally.
He is waiting outside the gate right now. , I wonder if the three of you are in the mood to go out and have a drink with my housekeeper."
"Ah, it's Zhu, is it Mr.
Zhu?"
Liu Bowen was okay, but Zhang Yi and Song Ke shuddered again and asked stammeringly.
Zhu Fozi personally came to seek help.
In ancient times, this was the standard etiquette for a scholar.
Lord Xinling's visit to Hou Ying and Zhu Hai was nothing more than that.
As for Hou and Zhu, after receiving such courtesy from Lord Xinling, they could only retaliate with death.
Otherwise, you will become the laughing stock of the whole world.

"Why, do you three have any worries?"
Luo Ben, the prefect of Yangzhou, immediately noticed that things had changed.
He was stunned and asked with a forced smile.
"If you have concerns, you might as well say it clearly.
Maybe Luo can be of help or explain a little bit."
"This" Zhang Yi glanced at Robben ashamedly and hesitated.
At this point, if he regretted it, he would not be able to say it out loud.
But he was very unwilling to put himself and his whole family on Zhu Chongjiu's bet.
I always feel that my previous decision was too hasty and I should take it slow to see if there is another option.
Song Ke was much younger than Zhang Yi, and he personally organized people to rebel against the Yuan Dynasty, so his performance was far more efficient than the latter's.
After hesitating for a moment, he made up his mind again and responded loudly, "Brother Qingyuan is serious.
How could Song have any concerns here?
In short, it is only one life.
He will die to expel the Tartars and he will never regret it.
As for what happened next It’s up to future generations to take care of the matter.
At this moment, Song has no time to think more.”
"Yes."
Infected by Song Ke's sharp energy, Zhang Yi smiled, with a bit of color on his face, "General Manager Zhu treats you like this, why should Zhang hesitate to leave?
Go and ask for a bowl from Manager Zhu first."
Let’s talk after drinking water and wine.”
"Junior brother, what about you?"
Although Shi Naian is very bookish, he has been on the run for many years and has met many heroes.
So a little later than half a beat, I realized that the root of the problem was Liu Ji.
He smiled and went straight to the rightful owner.
Liu Bowen did not evade, nodded, and responded with a smile, "Manager Zhu invites you at every turn, how can Mr.
Liu go without any resistance?
Let's all go and pay homage to this famous hero."
"Well, you guys, come with me."
Shi Naian smiled slightly again, turned around, and led everyone straight out.
Liu Bowen, Zhang Yi, and Song Ke looked at each other and followed up.
Not long after, we arrived at the gate of Jixian Hall.
Looking out, I saw a tall, dark-skinned, bald man with a shaved head, standing outside the door chatting with Lu Kun, the director of the school bureau.
When he noticed everyone was walking out, he immediately greeted them with a smile.
"This" Liu Bowen and others were slightly stunned again.
I had heard that Zhu Chongjiu was originally a pig butcher, and I didn't expect him to be very polite.
But among those who have read the song "Qin Yuan Chun", some of them have some expectations in their hearts.
I always hope that everyone who can write such wonderful words will be a suave Confucian scholar.
Who would have thought that the gap between expectations and reality would be so huge.
Just as everyone was slightly stunned, Zhu Chongjiu had already walked up the steps.
He bowed down first and bowed his head to the ground, "Remnants of China, butchers of Xuzhou, did not know that distinguished guests were coming, and did not step aside to greet them.
It is really rude and rude."
These words made people laugh and cry.
The word "remnants" refers to the people left behind by the previous dynasty, or the old and young.
It has been more than seventy years since the Southern Song Dynasty fell.
Where are there any survivors?

Besides, Zhu Chongjiu regarded himself as a survivor, so he should be a survivor of the Song Dynasty.
How could he use the word "Huaxia"?
But upon closer inspection, there is nothing wrong with using these two words.
In the Zhou Dynasty, the people who observed etiquette and righteousness were called "Zhu Hua, Zhu Xia".
The barbarians who do not understand etiquette are called "four barbarians".
Since he, Zhu Chongjiu, had rebelled against the Yuan Dynasty, he would certainly no longer agree that the Mongols were also Chinese orthodox.
Therefore, it is not a bad idea to claim to be a Chinese remnant.
It's just that when these words came out of Zhu Chongjiu's mouth, it was extremely awkward.
Especially when combined with the sentence "The Butcher of Xuzhou", it is definitely neither fish nor fowl.
As for walking backwards to greet each other, the allusion really fits the situation.
But the next sentence has become a vernacular again.
Unless you see it with your own eyes, you can't believe that it came from the same person.
Fortunately, Liu Bowen reacted very quickly.
After being stunned for a moment, he returned the salute with a smile, "General, your words are serious.
I am a man from the mountains and wilds, who happened to be a man and passed by your place.
How dare you trouble the general?"
"Junior brother is talking nonsense again."
Before he could finish speaking, Shi Naian interrupted.
"My lord, this is my junior brother.
He is a bit old-fashioned.
My lord, please don't argue with him.
This is Longquan Zhang Sanyi, and this is Changzhou Song Zhongwen.
The three of them are all famous talents in Jiangnan. " "I have admired these three great names for a long time, but in the past I was busy with military affairs and could not come to ask for advice.
Seeing them today brings comfort to my life."
Zhu Chongjiu once again handed over his hands and saluted with a smile according to the tone in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in his memory.
This sentence was spoken much more smoothly than the previous one.
Zhang Yi, Song Ke and Liu Bowen finally calmed down and stepped forward to greet him again.
Although Zhu Chongjiu has little education, he has Shi Naian on the left and Luo Guanzhong on the right, and behind him is his father-in-law Lu Kun, who has a two-legged bookcase, so he does not show too much cowardice.
After a few pleasantries, we got to know the three guests smoothly.
"The food in Jixian Hall is quite crude.
Now is the time when the sea bass is delicious.
You three might as well go to a nearby restaurant with my lord.
Let's talk while drinking."
Robben and Zhu Chongjiu have been getting along for a long time, and they know that their manager is not I'm not very good at talking to strangers, so I took the initiative to extend the invitation on his behalf.
"In this case, I am disturbing General Zhu."
Liu Bowen, Zhang Yi, and Song Ke looked at each other again and nodded together.
Although the time they spent together was short, all three of them realized that Zhu Fozi had probably not read many books.
As for why a relatively young man could come up with a famous line like Qin Yuanchun, I'm afraid it's either a miracle, or someone had prepared it in advance so that he could memorize it, and then made it public in an arty way.
Anyway, Zhu Chongjiu is not the only reckless hero doing this right now, everyone just understands it tacitly.
Having said that, deep down in their hearts, the three of them still felt a little disappointed.
Especially Zhang Yi and Zhang Sanyi were hesitating whether they should stay in Yangzhou and were in a dilemma.
In desperation, the idea of taking the exam was revealed in his words unknowingly.
Zhu Chongjiu is self-aware and knows that the halo of his protagonist is not strong enough to make the hero bow to him with a shake of his body.
As a result, I don't care much about others testing my depth.
Whenever I have questions, I will respond truthfully.

Even if some questions are difficult to answer at the moment, or they involve the core secrets of the Huaiyang relationship, try to explain them as much as possible to avoid the guests feeling that you are deliberately neglecting them.
As a result, Liu Bowen, Zhang Yi and Song Ke were impressed.
They each thought to themselves: "Although this Zhu Chongjiu has little education, he is also open-minded and generous, and he has a bit of the style of Henkel.
If he can continue like this, he may not be able to achieve great things.
We will assist him first, and then we will pull him back.
It's better to go on the right path than to help someone like Chu Bawang and end up with hatred."
