"At the beginning of human beings, their natures are good, their natures are similar, their habits are far apart, and if they refuse to be taught, their nature will change."
In a small mountain village outside Y City, Song County, there is a thatched house. There are several young children reading poems and books, shaking their heads and looking very cute.
Outside the thatched house, there was also a young pioneer with good features, wearing a black gown, lying lazily on a rocking chair, bathing in the afterglow of the sunset, and snoring slightly.
In the evening, when the villagers returned from working in the fields, they saw the young gentleman looking like this and did not bother him. They tiptoed into the thatched house and took away their children.
A few days ago, there was a heavy rain in Song County. The young gentleman came here to take shelter from the rain. Seeing that the children here were ignorant, he stayed here and became a teacher.
Although the young man likes to be lazy, he has a lot of poetry and articles at his fingertips, so the villagers think that the young man is very knowledgeable, probably as tall as a seven or eight-storey building.
The gentleman is easy-going and does not have the arrogance of a scholar. He is also willing to teach the children in the village to read and write for free. The villagers really like this young gentleman.
The children dispersed, the sound of reading also disappeared, and the thatched house returned to silence. Lu Xuanlou opened his eyes and looked at the scattered rice, vegetables, and even a few pieces of bacon at his feet.
Half a month ago, Lu Xuanlou came out of Xiaoyu and became the teacher here by some combination of circumstances
Looking at the rice beams, vegetables and bacon at his feet, Lu Xuanlou shook his head slightly, feeling warm in his heart. To Lu Xuanlou, these rice beams, vegetables, and bacon were just ordinary things, but for the villagers, they were rare and good things that could only be eaten during the holidays. a little.
"The folk customs are simple and ancient. Why are the people in the Song Dynasty like this?"
Lu Xuanlou sighed slightly. He defended the county and entered the Song Dynasty. The defended county and the Song Dynasty were all destroyed. But there is a world of difference.
In Wei County, there are rich families who are full of wine and meat, and wealthy young men spend a lot of money just to make beautiful women smile; in Song County, there are only 800 miles of rivers and mountains in a mess, and the people are in rags and have no food to eat.
"Alas, time is also destiny"
Lu Xuanlou lamented again, no wonder there are still people who try to revive the Song Dynasty after twenty years of subjugation
Carrying many things, he left the thatched house and saw smoke curling from the kitchen in the distance. Lu Xuanlou walked into the village and came to a rough house and knocked on the door gently.
After waiting for a moment, an old man in his 60s pulled out his head. When he saw that the person coming was Lu Xuanlou, he immediately smiled and showed endless enthusiasm.
"Sir is here, come in quickly"
The old man brought Lu Xuanlou into the house, waved his sleeves and wiped the tables and stools again, and then asked Lu Xuanlou to sit down. Next, he asked, "Sir, those little bastards were disobedient and made Sir angry."
"The children are very sensible and obedient."
Lu Xuanlou He smiled and said, "I'm a little lazy. I'm ashamed that I didn't teach them to read and write seriously."
"What did you say, sir?"
The old village chief said, "This Scholars of the YearIt is more precious than gold. If your husband can teach those little bastards to read and write, that is their blessing. ”
“Teach me whatever you want, sir, teach me whatever you want. Anyone who dares to talk nonsense will have to pull out his tongue.”
Lu Xuanlou smiled, put down the rice and vegetables in his hands, and said to the old village chief, "The villagers here are very enthusiastic, and there are too many things for me to eat. I accept your kindness, but these I'd better trouble the old village chief to return the things to the villagers."
"No"
The old village chief said sincerely, "Sir, I deigned to come to this remote place to teach children to read and write. Thank you very much.
"This rice, grain and vegetables are vulgar food, and I don't like it, sir. But we are poor here, and there really is nothing we can do to make my husband laugh."
"Village chief, you "You misunderstood me."
Lu Xuanlou smiled and said, "Sending goose feathers thousands of miles away is a light gift but a heavy affection. How can I, Lu Xuanlou, not be a good person? Song County is already poor, and the people don't have enough to eat, but they give up the food." "Leave it to me, how can you make me feel at ease?"
Lu Xuanlou was resolute and refused to let go despite the old village chief's persuasion. The old village chief had no choice but to agree and summon the villagers early tomorrow morning. , and ask them to take their things back.
"Old village chief, I have something to puzzle about, and I hope you can clarify it."
Lu Xuanlou said, "Song County is adjacent to the river, with thousands of miles of fertile land, and the Qinhuai River crosses it. Song County has abundant water resources, why are the people of Song County so miserable?"
"Sir, I am an outsider. I don’t know that there are only ten rooms in Song County and nine empty houses, but few living people. I don’t know that the women in Song County are old, weak, young and strong. The county tax is too high."
The old village chief sighed and said, "Twenty years ago, the Wei Dynasty destroyed the Song Dynasty and massacred hundreds of cities. After the Wei people destroyed the Song Dynasty, the young people in the Song Dynasty were almost wiped out. The aristocratic families poured into Song County and took the thousands of miles of fertile land mentioned by Mr. as our own. We ordinary people are still alive."
"The destruction of Song Dynasty by the Wei Dynasty was a national war. I can't say much, but The aristocratic families of the Wei Dynasty prey on the people of Song County, and the Wei court doesn’t care about it?" Lu Xuanlou asked.
"Wei people call the people of Song County Song people. If we don't regard us as their own people, how can they care about our life and death?"
The old village chief said helplessly, "Sir, we are from Wei. He is also a good person, but not all Wei people are like Mr."
Lu Xuanlou remained silent, with gloom growing in his heart. Putting aside the remnants of the Song people, the people of Song County had no regard for the Wei Dynasty. The heart of belonging, the turmoil is just around the corner, the situation in Song County is worse than he imagined
"I heard people say that the current Majesty of the Wei Dynasty was a king who cared about the people the most."
p>Lu Xuanlou said, "I know a few prominent people in Daliang. I will write a letter to ask them to inform me, His Majesty the Emperor of Wei, about the affairs of Song County. This may help the people of Song County escape from the sea of misery."
"You must not do it. Sir, please don't get into trouble and get yourself burned."
The old village chief tried to dissuade him by saying, "Song County officials colluded with the Wei family. It took more than a day or two for someone to report this matter." The imperial court discovered in the Qinhuai RiverHis corpse, this kind of thing is not uncommon."
"It doesn't matter."
Lu Xuanlou smiled and said, "Since I dare to write a letter, I am not afraid of anyone's revenge. I want to take a look. How lawless the Wei family could be in Song County. ”
Back at the thatched cottage, Lu Xuanlou wrote hard for a long time, and then asked someone to send the letter to the Daliang Mansion Order, asking Zhou Zheng, the Daliang Mansion Order, to deliver the letter to the Wei Emperor Lu Qi.
In the early morning of the next day, the sound of reading began again in the thatched cottage. Lu Xuanlou patiently taught the children to read and write, seeming to have forgotten that the real purpose of his coming to Song County was to wipe out the remnants of the Song people.
Three days later. When the Daliang Mansion received the letter, they did not dare to delay at all and immediately forwarded it to the Wei Emperor Lu Qi.
"I just want to kill Song Liancheng. Xuanlou wants to do it once and for all."< /p>
The Emperor of the Wei Dynasty Lu Qi said, "The ambition is not small, but the people will return to their hearts and the world will be peaceful. Xuanlou can understand the affairs of Song County clearly." The military and political affairs of Song County are all decided by the King of Shu. If there is any disobedience, he will be punished.
