Chapter 2 Inkstone

Hey... A loud shout sounded, dragging the sound, and then many people shouted: Hey!

Xue Chongxun was riding the old boatman's boat and just crossing a stone mountain.Because the boat was small, the group had only five or six people, and there were still a dozen guards waiting on the north shore.

The boat sailed for a while, and soon many large ships on the river surface entered their sight.

Not only were there boats, but countless people were trekking on the rugged rocks on the shore, and cables were connected to the large hull in the river. Those people were boatmen who were pulling boats with manpower.

This section of the river is extremely turbulent and is going upstream again. It can be seen that the boatmen are struggling to pull.

Xue Chongxun estimated that each grain ship had hundreds of trampoline boats.

The shouts I heard at Yamaguchi just now were from these boatmen.

There is a leader in every boat. The man shouted for a long time, and then the boatmen shouted hard and tried hard together.

So the river bank was so lively, and there were people crying in the middle, appearing faintly in the rushing water.

The small boat that Xue Chongxun was riding approached the large grain transport ship because there were not many people coming, and they didn't look like bandits, and the people on the ship ignored them.

There are many small boats among the big ships, and the people above are searching for something with long poles.

So Xue Chongxun turned his head to look at a big ship in the beginning. On the deck, there was a middle-aged man with a head wearing a head, lying on the side of the ship, looking at something and crying, Wulang!Goro Ah, you heard a response...

It seemed that someone was not rescued in the water, and several small boats were searching everywhere.And the boats behind were busy salvaging things, and it seemed that some of them had sunk.

At this moment, someone shouted: Over there, I really want to see someone appear!

The middle-aged man on the side of the boat stopped crying and shouted: Is it Goro?

Others hurriedly shouted to go into the water to touch it, and someone on the boat shouted: The water is turbid, it is all mud and sand. Those who go down should be careful of their lives!Put the rope!

No one cared about Xue Chongxun and others. They watched the busyness on the river and continued to walk eastward in the boat.

At this time, Xue Chongxun saw something appearing not far from the boat, and he immediately turned around and said: Who has the best water quality? That location!I seemed to see someone.

I am from Jiannan. I am a little boy. I will see me!

When Xue Chongxun looked back, the guard had already jumped into the water with a plop.

Xue Chongxun hurriedly said: The water of the Yellow River is not as good as the water in Jiannan. We are saving your people on the boat. Throw a rope down!

A rope was quickly dropped from the big boat next to him. After a while, the guard rose from the water and shouted as he fluttered: Catch it!There is indeed a person in the water, throwing the rope!

Fang Yuzhong took out an inkstone from his backpack, tied it to one end of the rope, and threw it into the river with a fierce force.

When Xue Chongxun saw the guards grab the rope, he breathed a sigh of relief and helped him to pull him over.

The guard was still laughing: Ha, the water of the Yellow River is muddy!

Xue Chongxun and others pulled the man who fell into the water onto the boat in a row, and saw that he was covered in yellow mud, like a clay man.

He leaned softly on the boat, not knowing whether it was death or life.

The guards were busy pressing his chest to perform first aid again.

At this moment, the people on the big ship put down the rope ladder and shouted: There is a doctor on the boat, hurry up and get the people up.So Xue Chongxun's guards carried the man who fell into the water and supported him and carried him onto the big ship.

Goro!The middle-aged man who was crying on the side of the boat just now ran over and touched the face of the man who fell into the water. The middle-aged man suddenly burst into tears. Goro Ah, how can you explain to your sister-in-law if you ask me to go back!

The doctor was quickly invited out of the cabin. When Xue Chongxun saw it, he said in surprise: Li Guishou!Ha, I didn't expect to see you here.

Who is the immortal-like and wise man who came out is not Li Guishou?Yuwen Ji's master.Li Gui clasped his fists and said: Save people first.

Everyone said in a lingering manner: From the Zhang family, let it go, it is not too late to cry if you can't save it.

Hold it and lift it upside down!

Li Xuanyi said.

A man next to him hurriedly hugged his thigh from behind Wuro and lifted the person upside down.

Li Xuanyi quickly pulled out a silver needle from his waist, pointed at another person and said: He hugged Wulang's chest with force, and hugged it hard.

The man next to him acted according to his words and actions. After the two of them did this, muddy water kept flowing out of Goro's mouth.

At this time, Li Xuanyi squatted down, stretched out his fingers and pressed hard near Wulang's collarbone, and suddenly inserted a needle.

puff!Suddenly, a lot of dirty things were spit out of Goro's mouth.

Cough cough... I just now, a person who looked like a dead person actually coughed a few times.Very angry!Everyone immediately cheered, Li Guishou deserves to be a famous doctor in the world!

At this time, the middle-aged man walked over with a young man in his twenties and thirties. Without saying a word, the two kowtowed three times: Save life, I will accept my Zhang family’s three betrayals first, and in the future, wherever there is something useful to us, just say a word.My name is Zhang Yueran, and my ancestral home is Qujiang, Shaozhou. This is my nephew Zhang Jiuling...

ha!When Xue Chongxun heard the three words Zhang Jiuling, he immediately exclaimed, thinking that the Five Mountains of Shenzhou are not that big.

The middle-aged man Zhang Yueran said again: Doctor Li Guishou is my good friend. I know him, but I don’t know what kind of yamen he is and his benefactor who went to the water. If you ask for your name, we can also know who his benefactor is.

Xue Chongxun helped Zhang Yueran up: We were hitting here and happened to see someone falling into the water next to us. It was just a matter of raising our hands. Don’t make it so serious. Just live, get up quickly.I am... Li Guishou knows me, they are all acquaintances, haha.The one who went into the water was my follower Zhao Er.

When he heard the middle-aged man ask you which yamen you are, Xue Chongxun thought that the people from the Zhang family really had some knowledge, probably because he saw the ornaments on my waist.

Li Xuanyi also helped to help the two people from the Zhang family up and said: I know both sides, so I will introduce it. This man is Duke Wei, his current nephew, the eldest son of Princess Taiping's family, and his name is Xue Chongxun.Hey, I remember you are the Minister of Taichang Temple, how did you come to the world?

While observing Zhang Jiuling's appearance, Xue Chongxun said: He has been transferred to an official position, and the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue will be the Transfer Author, and come down to see the canal transportation.

I saw that Zhang Jiuling had a long face, small eyes, and big ears. However, his facial features were matched in a coordinated manner, his face was also relatively straight, his two eyebrows were sharp in shape, and there were three vertical and horizontal lines between his eyebrows, which looked very serious.

Li Xuanyi sneered: Manage the canal transportation?Come on, what good things can you do with your people? Look at the boats in the river, they all come from Lingnan. It took them ten months to get here!There is also Liu An, who is under Luoyang, and his group of "slant-sacred officials" who will not do anything except make money.

The so-called slanted official is the official given by Princess Taiping. She put the official name in a letter and handed it to the emperor for approval and appointed an official position. Because the seal is slanted, those who enter the official career through this way are called slanted official and have always been despised by other bureaucrats.

Among these people, there are also talents, but most of them are evil people, and the most people give money to buy officials. In short, the quality is mixed.

Zhang Yueran said: Mr. Li, let alone this. It’s not like a big court in the Tang Dynasty that people want to eat. If we don’t transport grain, where will the country and the country be placed?Let's go and sit in the cabin.

At this time, Zhang Jiuling said: My uncle's house was ordered as a grain transporter. I happened to be dismissed from office and stayed at home. So I followed my uncle through this journey and passed through the entire canal transportation route. I thought of a way to change it... But the powerful and powerful could only sigh.

Li Xuanyi next to him suddenly picked up the inkstone that Fang Yuzhong had tied to the rope to borrow force, picked it up and looked carefully, and smiled and said: Duke Wei is valuable, it is really a waste of use like this... Inkstone, a rope to save people, haha, interesting.

Xue Chongxun understood what he meant, it was nothing more than a big villain like me who was surprised to do good deeds, and he couldn't say anything at the moment, so he kept silent.

At the same time, I saw Li Guishou's wide social relationship again. Although he was not in the temple, Yao Chong and Song Jing were his friends. Now Zhang Jiuling seems to be his friends, which is quite amazing.

Birds of a feather flock together, and making friends is not something that everyone can speak with.

Because of his acquaintance, Xue Chongxun was not in a hurry to rush, so he asked someone to pay the old boatman who brought him over and stayed on the grain transport boat.

Xue Chongxun did not break his promise to pay twice the price after the old boatman was successful.

The Zhang family uncle and nephew, other people on the boat, including Li Xuanyi and others. The crowd sat on the boat for a while and then Xue Chongxun called Li Xuanyi to the deck for an interview.

Xue Chongxun worshiped: No matter what, I dare not forget you last time you saved me.

Li Xuanyi looked at the turbid Yellow River water and said lightly: Didn’t you agree? I was treating you for the Yuwen family, otherwise I wouldn’t have taken care of you.No need to mention this matter... But today, Duke Wei took action to save a person he didn't know, which shows that he still has kindness, good, good.The inkstone has the fragrance of books and is used to save people. The fragrance of books and loyalty is such a good thing. I hope Duke Wei can understand something.

Xue Chongxun bowed humbly: I will always miss my conversation with Mr. Li today.But I also have something I want to say to Mr. Li.

Speaking.Li Xuanyi's attitude this time is much more kind than last time.

Xue Chongxun said: To cure diseases, one person can only cure a few people; but governing the country can help more people avoid dire straits.Can Mr. Li agree?You have the skills to cure diseases and treat the country, so why do you preserve the small meaning and give up the great meaning?

Li Xuanyi laughed at the Yellow River: What is the art of governing the country?Being an official is not enough to be virtuous and righteous. I am not suitable to be an official and I can do nothing. As long as I am a little righteous, I will only protect myself. Without me, Li Xuanyi, there are Huang Xuanyi and Yao Xuanyi in the world... I have specialized in my skills and can only stop me.

After laughing, Li Xuanyi turned around and looked at Xue Chongxun and said: I said something unpleasant. If I really want to join the world, I will not assist Duke Wei or Taiping. The prince is the blessing of the country.Haha... Duke Wei, I would like to advise you, this is the same principle as being an official and being a doctor. No matter how good the technique is, it is the last. Don’t forget the word “benevolence and righteousness”, this is the original.Wei Zheng said back then, "Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn the boat." Now I will give you this sentence, kind-hearted.

Xue Chongxun pondered endlessly.

Li Xuanyi said again: Who is not a person who has sealed his hands and has read poetry, books and classics?My Chinese classics are like the sea. When I open each book, the words "benevolence and righteousness" are revealed between the lines. Why do you think that people in the world can't see it?
