Chapter 4 Plan early

In the evening, someone from the Li Mansion made a bet to see if Young Master Li could stay in Wanling County for one month, three months or half a year. After all, the longest stay in Wanling County was half a year, and he was the one who came back disabled.

I was injured and went outside to seek help. It took three months until help came.

There are also exaggerated claims that it will not last three days.

Abandon your official position and run away! According to the laws of the Jin Dynasty, it is impossible. It is a serious crime to flee from an official position, and your family will also be implicated.

As long as he wants to give up his official position, the old man will probably personally pressure him to go to Lingnan.

From the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Southern and Northern Dynasties, many people abandoned their official positions. According to the "Book of the Later Han", from the Eastern Han Dynasty to the death of Emperor Guangwu, a total of more than 600 officials abandoned their official positions and returned to their hometowns.

However, since the founding of the Jin Dynasty, strict regulations have been imposed on those who abandon their official positions. Any official who abandons his official position and flees while in office is the same as a soldier who flees. The government can arrest his wife, torture his children, and hold his family responsible.

Hunted throughout the Jin Dynasty.

Even if you don’t want to take a job, you have to apply after you have been hired. You cannot run away privately, otherwise it will be treated as a crime of abandoning an official position, which will implicate the entire family. This is why a Jinshi committed suicide after being selected!

Li Changxian didn't want to go, and he also planned to give up his official position halfway and go to a rich place to become a rich man. At first, he was wondering why more than a dozen Jinshi who had gone there in the past few years had died, and why there were still people who came forward to succeed him. In the end, some people went crazy.

, committing suicide, abandoning the official position, and not leaving will be enough!

It wasn't until someone told Li Changxian that he realized there was such a law.

Since the official has designated it, it must be done and it must be done!

Young Master Li Changxian is depressed, he has to go there himself!

Young Master Li Changxian was embarrassed. When he called on the Li family, only three people signed up!

In the early morning, everyone in the Li family found Young Master Li squatting at the door of the courtyard, looking up to the sky and sighing: People's hearts are not as old as they used to be!

Money is not everything, but nothing is impossible without money.

In his previous life, Li Changxian was a poor man. After graduation, he could not give up his boring job just for the four to five thousand yuan a month. When his wife divorced, he was not worried about his hemiplegia due to stroke. Besides, there are many people who have recovered from stroke and hemiplegia. The key is money.

! If like now, Li Changxian holds a hundred thousand banknotes, which would be worth tens of millions in RMB. Even if he puts it in the bank and earns interest, his wife will not get divorced.

It is no exaggeration in any dynasty to say that money can make the world go round. If he went to Lingnan, a wild land, without more money, Li Changxian would not feel safe.

Li Changxian looked at the 100,000 yuan in silver notes in his hand, and felt that it was still not enough, and he had to find a way to get money.

There are still people, especially people with strong military skills. Whether you leave Beijing for Lingnan or establish a foothold in Wanling County, you need a team that can protect you, so the next step is to recruit people. There is still a date for leaving Beijing.

For more than twenty days, we must hurry up on recruiting people.

I also need to prepare some things to be prepared for some accidents on the road. I have been running around in various pharmacies these days, which is to collect medicines to stop bleeding, prevent dysentery, plague, etc.

As for self-defense weapons, Li Changxian also asked someone to find a sharp dagger on the market.

It would be great if there was a wooden warehouse! With a wooden warehouse in hand, I have the world. Wooden warehouse? Gunpowder?

If you don’t have a wooden warehouse, you can make gunpowder by yourself! Li Changxian knows the formula of gunpowder. Gunpowder is composed of sulfur, saltpeter and charcoal, and the formula of gunpowder is: mononitrate, disulfide, and triple charcoal.

You can make a few bombs, and if you encounter someone who doesn't like it on the road, give him a taste before talking about it.

First of all, I need to test the power myself. I can't do it in Li's Mansion. After all, Li's Mansion is in the center of Kyoto. I need to find a safe place. I wonder what the Zhuangzi I got a few days ago is like?

Thinking of this, Li Changxian stood up and greeted Li Zhu: "Go find Master Li and come with me today."

Before Li Zhu went out, he asked: "Master, where do you plan to go today?"

"Go to Zhuangzi in the suburbs and have a look. You can arrange for someone to prepare the horse... carriage." Li Changxian was about to ride a horse, but suddenly he thought that he couldn't ride a horse. Li Changxian, whose father was a general, actually couldn't ride a horse.

In the eyes of everyone in Kyoto, the eldest young master of the Li family is a waste.

It’s not that I don’t know how to do it, but I don’t dare. When I was a child, the scene of a galloping horse suddenly going crazy on the playground has always been imprinted in Li Changxian’s mind. Another reason is that the general always rode away on horseback.

, many years of looking forward to his father's return on horseback have turned out to be disappointing. This made Li Changxian hate horseback riding and vowed that he would never ride a horse in his life.

Every time he goes out, Li Changxian would rather stay in a closed carriage.

The incense formation soaring into the sky penetrated Chang'an, and the whole city was covered with golden armor.

The air is fresh on March 3rd, and there are many beautiful people by the waterfront in Chang'an.

Hearing the sound of singing and playing in secret, he knew it was Chang'an Road.

Hundreds of houses are like a chess game, and twelve streets are like vegetable beds.

The nine heavens closed the palace, and all the nations wore clothes and bowed their heads.

The Wei River receives evening rain, and there are many new lakes everywhere. The palaces and gardens are surrounded by bright mountains, and the cloud forests bring a green sky.

The locust flowers dance in the wind and fall into the ditch, and the scenery of Zhongnan Mountain enters the city in autumn.

Chang'an Avenue is connected to Xiaoxie, with green oxen, white horses and seven-scented carriages.

Li Changxian was sitting in a rickety carriage, looking at the spacious streets, bustling commerce, and endless crowds of people in Chang'an, the capital of the Jin Dynasty. He suddenly thought of Lu Zhaolin's poem "The Ancient Meaning of Chang'an".

The Jin Dynasty had been established for more than 200 years, and the commercial development of the capital Chang'an had reached its peak.

Suddenly, Li Changxian saw a huge crowd in front of him. They were all rushing towards one place. The onlookers were surrounding him three floors inside and three floors outside.

"Li Zhu, go to the front and see what's going on?" Li Changxian ordered that the carriage could only park aside and wait for the crowd to disperse before leaving. Upon hearing Li Changxian's order, Li Zhu, the first legionnaire, jumped out of the carriage and got out of the carriage.

Join the crowd.

Before Li Changxian could see clearly what was going on, Li Zhu emerged from the crowd.

"Master, the government has caught a runaway slave and is preparing to whip him. I heard that this slave ran away twice and was finally caught again!"

"Let's go and have a look!" Li Changxian thought about recruiting people and led Li Zhu towards the crowd. If he could meet a useful person, he might as well redeem his life.

A young male slave of fifteen or sixteen years old was tied hand and foot to a wooden pole where horses were tied in the street. A strong man with a fleshy face was whipping him hard with a whip in his hand. Next to him was a fat man wearing a black toga with long sleeves.

The man was rolling up his sleeves and cursing.

"If you dare to bite me, beat me to death!"

"Let's see if you can run away!"

"You little brat, if you dare to glare at me, I'll dig your eyes out later!"

The young male slave who was being tortured did not say a word while being whipped vigorously by the sturdy man, and stared at the obese man. Li Changxian suddenly became interested and curled his lips at Li Zhu beside him.

"Stop!" Li Zhu, prompted by Li Changxian, shouted to stop the strong man who was torturing him, and pulled the fat man aside to discuss.

"My eldest young master is very kind-hearted. Can I cede this slave?" Li Zhu took out the name of the Li family and showed it to the fat man.

Li Mansion, the Vice Minister of the Hanlin Academy, Li Mansion is dominated by the second master to the outside world.

The obese man looked at the name card and then at Li Changxian.

"Oh, it turns out to be Master Li, whose name I have admired for a long time."

The obese man suddenly thought of Young Master Li Changxian. Although he had never met him, Young Master Li had a reputation in the capital. Especially in recent times, a series of things that happened in the Li Mansion have been widely circulated. Although he somewhat despised Young Master Li,

, but the Li Mansion and the Imperial Academy's attendants were not something that he, a little official slave master, could provoke.

"Everything is fine. Master Li, if you want to buy it, I'm waiting for you at any time."

"Then take it off, I want this person!" Li Changxian said calmly.

"Master Li, be careful. This kid is very powerful. He even injured three of us when he escaped this time." The obese man reminded from the side.

Before the fat man could dissuade him again, the young male slave who was being tortured knelt down in front of Li Changxian.

"Please save my sister, I, Cao Yun, would like to respect you as my master."

Li Changxian was a little confused and turned to look at the fat man.

The obese man, Zhang Tu, the head of the official office in the capital, carefully explained that the young man's slave and his sister were both slaves plundered from Goryeo. At the beginning of this year, the Jin Dynasty launched a war against Goryeo, led by Zhao Yuanwu, a lieutenant general in the Ministry of War.

Two hundred thousand soldiers captured the capital of Goryeo in four months.

The plundered young man slave was sent to Kyoto's official residence along with his ten-year-old sister. During the period, the young man tried to escape with his sister, but was caught and beaten.

Since young male slaves were a burden, many buyers were unwilling to buy two of them at the same time.

The government had no choice but to send the young man's slave's sister to Yuchun Tower, and then the young man's slave escaped for the second time.

A friend said that gunpowder is not the exclusive property of men from science and engineering! Don’t always mention men from science and engineering when talking about gunpowder! The recipe for gunpowder is written in the junior high school chemistry book! Those who don’t know must have never been to junior high school or high school.

I believe it! I deleted the words "science and engineering man". I'm sorry, I insulted all the science and engineering brothers! I am a liberal arts student!

But I really didn’t see the recipe for gunpowder written in the chemistry book. Maybe I didn’t think about it when I was young. If I had known about it earlier, why would I have gone to junior high school, high school, and college for so many years?

sorry!
Chapter completed!
