Huang An took the letter and looked up at the sky. The sun in the sky was glaring at this moment.
After ten breaths, he passed the letter to Zhang Jiuling.
Zhang Jiuling looked at it and sighed before placing the letter on the table.
Wei Yue Feng looked at the few of them and reached out to take it. No one stopped him. He happily took it in his hands and frowned as he read.
"Is the situation not good?" Tan Shui looked around. She was surrounded by her people and wanted to mobilize the troops again.
"You will know when you read it. Sigh!" Wei Yue Feng had a sad expression.
"Fine, I will read it." Tan Shui grabbed the letter and placed it in front of her eyes. She read, "Unrighteous riches and honor are fleeting clouds. Sound the drums and fight together. The Great Dao has not changed. "
After reading it, she looked at Wei Yue Feng, "You don't understand, do you?"
"Please enlighten me!" Wei Yue Feng cupped his fists. Yes, I don't understand.
"Listen." Tan Shui rolled her eyes at Wei Yue Feng and turned to Zhang Jiuling, "Zhang Jiuling, what are you talking about?"
"Yan Jie asked others to attack him. Confucius said, 'Unrighteous riches and honor are fleeting clouds to me.'
He also said, "The conduct of a gentleman is to be generous with propriety, to be generous with it, to be generous with it, to be humble with it."
Then Confucius targeted Ran Qiu and the Ji Family. He said that Ran Qiu was not his disciple and that he should attack him. "
Zhang Jiuling explained to Tan Shui and Wei Yue Feng. Yan Jie did not say anything practical but told everyone what to do.
"I still don't understand." Tan Shui was vexed.
"Yan Jie gave an example of the Ji Family amassing wealth and called everyone to attack Zhang Jiuling. He said that this was following the path of a saint."
Huang An explained it in simpler terms.
"Why is he so evil?" Tan Shui finally understood.
She turned to Zhang Jiuling and said, "Zhang Jiuling, don't be afraid. I will ask someone to mobilize the troops. Although Guangzhou has two to three hundred thousand people, there are not many who can fight."
"It's good that you have this intention. There is no need to mobilize the troops. My Dongguan County will not listen to Yan Jie's lies. As long as the other counties are not stupid, they will not make a move."
Huang Lun was shocked. 'Don't! You can transfer soldiers from there. Three thousand is fine, but more than ten thousand can only be submitted to the Imperial Court.'
"Tell them that I, Lu Zhou, have a coal mine. There are more than 40,000 people working on it. When they're done, I'll send them here and sell them to you at a cheap price.
When the time comes, you can use it to do blacksmithing work, and we can start to refine ironware. It's very useful.
I'm a man of my word. My Tan family has never lied to anyone. In the past, we were always cheated. It's better to trust Li Dongzhu than to trust your government. "
Qin Shui didn't know who Huang Lun was. Looking at his official robes, he guessed that he was just a county magistrate.
"Alright, thank you Miss Tan." Huang Lun didn't mind Tan Shui's tone.
He knew how useful coal was from the newspaper. The newspaper taught him how to use coal to make coke, and then use coke to smelt metal.
If the temperature was high, one could stir-fry the steel if one wanted to. There was no need to beat the tempered steel.
They could not find coal locally, but Lu Zhou had it. They could ship it over by water so that the people in the county could use good kitchen knives and farming tools.
It could even be traded to the barbarians, as the barbarians didn't have any good steel.
"Don't worry, it's a small matter. Do you understand now? "Tan Shui said to Wei Yuefeng.
"Thank you!" What else could Wei Yuefeng say? You don't understand either. You actually …
"Eh? If this letter is sent to the Li Family Zhuangzi, will Li Dongzhu be angry? "Tan Shui suddenly thought of a good idea.
"There's nothing wrong with this letter. He didn't say anything directly. You can say that he's talking about Confucius." Zhang Jiuling shook his head.
"I see. No wonder I couldn't understand what he wrote. There's nothing I can do about him. "Tan Shui gritted his teeth.
"That's the case for now." Huang An chose to side with Yan Jie. He had to. Yan Jie was going crazy.
"Dongzhu, Dongzhu, Li Dongzhu has sent a letter." Zhang Jiuling's steward ran over with two bamboo tubes in his hands.
"Sit down and eat. I'll see what's written." Zhang Jiuling's tone was gentle as he asked his steward to sit down.
When they left Chang 'an, it was just a family. The steward was busy, and then the people from the Li Family Zhuangzi caught up with them.
It felt like it was yesterday. It was not that far away.
Zhang Jiuling opened the two bamboo tubes and compared the letters inside. Needless to say, it was written by a woman. Needless to say, it was written by Princess Yongmu.
After comparing, the content was the same. Even the punctuation was the same.
He could even feel that she was very happy when she wrote it. When he looked at the content, he knew.
"It's okay." Zhang Jiuling handed one copy of the letter to Huang An and the other to Tan Shui.
"Gold and pearls, people's hearts fall, thousands of waves … … it's this again. Can't you write a simpler letter?"
Tan Shui read it and felt that it was really good. But he didn't know what it meant.
"Mr. Zhang, what kind of rhythm is this?" Huang An finished reading and gave the letter to Huang Lun. At the same time, he asked the poem.
"It was written by Li Yi in the past. He wrote a few poems with the same rhythm. Only then did I realize that this is a double rhyme. The rhyme of the first three lines of the first verse and the first three lines of the second verse are the same.
The last four rhymes of the first verse and the last four rhymes of the second verse are the same. But in this letter, Li Yi also rhymed the parts that don't need to be rhymed.
I wrote one for him before. It's about Nanyue, mountains, sea breeze … … "
Zhang Jiuling laughed. Scholars liked to write like this. He wrote a letter to provoke him.
In the end, he replied. He was probably sightseeing with Princess Yongmu, so Princess Yongmu wrote it.
"Mr. Zhang, Li Yi's reply is more magnanimous than yours." Huang Lun read it and spoke the truth.
"I heard this rhythm from him in the past. Yes, he copied it. Who knew that he would change it."
Zhang Jiuling was depressed. It was true. He wrote a kind of bitterness, but Li Yi's reply was not.
It was full of killing intent, tolerance, and magnanimity.
"Mr. Zhang, what did he write? I just found it interesting. I don't understand. "Tan Shui started to hate scholars.
"Li Yi asked me to ally with the local mountain people and give them benefits. He wants to use them to deal with the local clans.
If we give in to the clans, the clans will be greedy. If we seek benefits for the mountain people, the mountain people will repay our kindness. "
Zhang Jiuling learned his lesson and said it bluntly.
"Li Dongzhu understands us. Yes, give us some benefits and we are willing to listen.
Our stronghold listens to Li Dongzhu. He doesn't lie. He is so rich and powerful. He doesn't need to bully us. "
Tan Shui immediately praised Li Yi. Her family's words were very useful in that area.
The three of them went to Chang 'an and met the three Chancellors. They brought back a lot of things and exchange coupons, as well as the location of the mine.
The surrounding strongholds were using new coal to make coke and then making tools and weapons.
The key was to repair the road. They brought back many good steel drills, hammers, shovels, hand gourds … …
The three of them had a high prestige in their own stronghold. They could speak in other strongholds.
"From the information we received, Doctor Li is indeed dedicated to the people. He is virtuous." Huang An replied to Song Jing every month.
Song Jing would mention Li Yi every time. He would talk about what Li Yi was doing.
For example, when people found that there were worms in the bean fields and wanted to trample them to death, Li Yi would tell them how to raise them, how to eat them, and how good it was for the body.
In the last letter, he said that when the weather was cold, the bean worms would be buried in the soil and mailed to him for him to try.
