Chapter 74
Han Qiang was stimulated by the Cai family's marriage and became eager to win.
When they were resting that night, Song Yuniang happened to come to Kuishui. Han Qiang volunteered to pull up the willows several times, and she was so tired that she was dripping with sweat.
"Aqiang, why are you doing this?" Although Wei Shi enjoyed it, he also felt sorry for Han Qiang's hard work and wanted to let it go, but Han Qiang complained.
"Wei Lang, if Mrs. Cai marries Liu Jingzhou, she will be a widow in a few years. I wonder how she can survive without a man by then?" Han Qiang bit her lips lightly, her tone was very unkind.
When Wei Shi heard Han Qiang say the word "Ao", he was startled:
"Is it sad for a woman to sacrifice her marriage for the sake of her clan?"
Cai is now only in her early twenties, thirty or forty years older than Liu Biao, and it is difficult for an old man and a young wife to stay together.
In five years, Liu Biaoyi will die of illness, Cai will have no support, and the Cai family will no longer need her. By then, Cai's hard days will come.
"Wei Lang, tell me, is this Mr. Cai too busy and cares so little about things?" Han Qiang felt something in her heart when she saw Wei Shi wandering around. Her delicate and fiery body clung to her and refused to let go.
"What does Mrs. Cai think, and what does it have to do with me?" Wei Shi was surprised by Han Qiang's enthusiastic behavior. This woman was jealous, otherwise she wouldn't be so entangled.
Why!
Dry!
Wei Shi, who was furious, couldn't help but beat Han Qiang with two strikes.
When Wei Shi went out arrogantly the next morning, Song Yuniang happened to come over to serve him. Seeing Han Qiang still lying on the bed, she couldn't help but make fun of her.
——
Zhang Song didn't stay in Shangyong for a few days before he left for Xudu.
He was going to try his luck with Cao Cao and see if he could get support. If, as Wei Shi said, Cao Cao didn't like him, it wouldn't be too late to return to Wei Shi.
Meng Da followed Zhang Song, but somehow he chose to stay.
One day later, Meng Da took the initiative to find Wei Shi and enthusiastically introduced the situation of their Meng family.
According to Meng Da, their Meng family is actually a family from Fufeng in Guanzhong. Because of the chaos in Sanfu, they had to move all the way south, and now they have moved to Yidu and Yiling.
There are nearly ten thousand people in the Meng family, including thousands of children of the right age. If Wei Shi is in need, he will immediately bring his clan members to join them.
Meng Da was coming to Dongsan County, and Wei Shi immediately became vigilant.
Historically, Meng Da received Liu Bei's order and set out from Yidu to attack Kuai Qi on the trail from Yiling to Fangling. Kuai Qi was careless and was killed by Meng Da.
Wei Shi didn't want to be the second Kuai Qi.
"Zijing, of course the Meng family wants to multiply and develop in the three eastern counties. However, you have also seen that compared to the wealth of Jingzhou and Yizhou, the land here is sparse and barren. If the Meng family comes, it will be very difficult.
Suffer a lot?"
"In addition, the Han people, the common people, and the barbarians in the three counties live together. If they cannot treat each other fairly, there will be riots. Therefore, if Zijing comes, he must abide by the laws of the Han Dynasty and must not violate them."
Wei Shi looked at Meng Da who looked hopeful and said in a deep voice.
If the Meng family moves here, it will indeed enhance Wei Shi's strength, but there are many obstacles, and the biggest problem is that it is difficult to control.
In view of Meng Da's character, Wei Shi thought it was better to be cautious.
"Haha, Mr. Wei is an honest man. To say so would be outrageous." Meng Da laughed, bowed his hand to Wei Shi and said goodbye.
This time he came with Zhang Song, his purpose was to find a place for the Meng family to move forward and retreat freely.
The opening of the Wushan Road from Shangyong to Yuyi made Mengda's eyes light up. With this road connecting Jingshui and Hanshui, it would be much easier for merchants from the north and the south to travel.
Such a way to make money, if possible, Meng Da would also like to get a share of it.
But judging from Wei Shi's reply, although this man was young, he acted very vigilantly. Meng Da felt that the chance of replacing Wei Shi was slim for the time being.
After sending away the ambitious and uncontrollable Meng Da, Wei Shi took some time to accompany Sima Hui on a tour of Shangyong, Fangling and Neixiang.
The restoration of Yuyi Salt Spring, the planting of Wuxi tea trees, and the mining of Junshan gold mine...
Wei Shi introduced these matters concerning the people's livelihood related to the development of Dongsan County in detail. In order to convince Sima Hui, he also asked Chen Xiaonan, Han Wu Auntzi and others to narrate it personally and talk about their lives after moving here.
When Sima Hui began to listen, he was still quite puzzled. Wei Shi did not talk about it himself, and did not let the scribes or officials in the government record it in their slips. This was really disrespectful.
But when he talked face to face with the villagers, he found that Wei Shi's appearance was really different.
"Wei Fujun, you have been prepared for a long time. Hui originally wanted to find some omissions, but it seems that there is no need now. However, it is really difficult for Hanmen and Buyi to succeed..."
Sima Hui sighed and said.
Seeing is believing. At this moment, in his heart, he was actually very impressed with Wei Shi's achievements in governing Fangling, Shangyong and other places in just half a year.
"Mr. Shui Jing, you are a well-educated man. You should know that the reason for the decline of the Han Dynasty is that the powerful nobles monopolize the court. There are learned and talented people who have no way to serve. The common people have lost their land and become homeless, and their lives are difficult and difficult."
"Nowadays, His Majesty did not consider that Shi was born in a poor family, but gave Shi the land of a county and the characters of Shi Biao. If he cannot put it into practice, how can he be worthy of His Majesty's favor?"
When Wei Shi talked about Liu Xieci's words, his tone became even lower.
"Your Majesty..., Mr. Wei and his Majesty know each other, it really makes Hui feel ashamed. If there is an opportunity to do something for your majesty, Hui has no choice but to do something, but I just ask Mr. Wei to give you orders."
The calm expression on Sima Hui's face gradually disappeared, replaced by deep regret for the decline of the Han Dynasty and the fall of imperial power.
Over the years, he has been looking for loyal ministers to support the Han Dynasty, but even Liu Bei, who was committed to the Northern Expedition, his real purpose was to replace him and proclaim himself emperor.
In comparison, Wei Shi had a loyal heart and the idea of finding a way out for the poor in the world, which was enough.
"With the help of Mr. Shi, the people of the three counties will be like a gentle rain, and Shi's situation will be even better. Mr. Shi's resting place in the city has been arranged by Zhuo Jing, and it is right next to the prefect's mansion."
Sima Hui's words made Wei Shi feel elated, and his excitement was beyond words.
Talent is rare.
Sima Hui is not only talented, but also good at understanding people.
Crouching dragon and phoenix chick, one person can make the world peaceful.
This sentence is what Sima Hui said.
With the addition of Sima Hui, Wei Shi's small group finally had a real strategist.
