031 The Bottom Line Still Needed
In this era, the relationship between fellow villagers was very important, so Taishici did not agree to Liu Bei's recruitment and traveled thousands of miles to join Liu Yao, so Dong Xi simply trusted Yu Fan.
This is not without reason. Generally speaking, the villagers are very reliable. If they are unfaithful and unrighteous to their fellow villagers, they will be criticized by the villagers.
Cang Yaozu naturally knew that Dong Xi, the tiger general, Huang Longluo, who was close to Taoist Yu Ji, and his good brother Zhou Bo, were killed by Dong Xi in history.
Because of the suppression of the Shanyin bandits, Dong Xi was appreciated and valued by Sun Ce when he first defected to Sun Ce and became one of the twelve tiger generals of the Eastern Wu. Unfortunately, Dong Xi's internal affairs were not good and his wisdom was slightly poor, so he was only suitable to be a pure general.
Such a simple general is actually very useful. As long as he can put him in the position he is good at, he will do a great job.
Among the twelve tiger ministers in Jiangbiao, only Dong Xi and Gan Ning were not granted marquis, and they were not posthumously enfeoffed after their death. Gan Ning was the enhanced version of Dong Xi, with stronger command and force than Dong Xi, worse internal affairs than Dong Xi, and higher intelligence than Dong Xi.
Gan Ning was not appointed as a marquis because of his poor resume and bad temper. Dong Xi was because of his poor family background and died early, so the tea became cold as soon as he left.
Cang Yaozu actually attaches great importance to family background, because the education of the children of these aristocratic families is indeed good, and this must be admitted.
But Cang Yaozu also values everyone's abilities. He will not pay attention to family background like Liu Yao. He is not good at treating aristocratic families, but should not treat martial artists underestimate them. This is related to Liu Yao's origins in the royal family. Liu Yao is a noble child and cannot be polite to the genius.
Xu Shao, a famous Runan scholar who is currently in charge of the "Yuedan Review" and commented on Cao Cao's "capable ministers in governing the world and treacherous heroes in troubled times", is living under Liu Yao's tent. Those who can get into Xu Shao's eyes are all children of aristocratic families and knowledgeable people. They will never look at warriors like Taishi Ci in front of their eyes.
Someone suggested that Liu Yao use Taishi Ci, a talented man in the same county, as a general and command the army. Liu Yao's answer was, if I use Taishi Ziyi, would Xu Shao not make fun of me?
So Liu Yao only asked Taishi Ci to investigate military information and used him as a scout. Poor Taishi Ziyi had such high martial arts and such good archery skills.
After Liu Yao's defeat, Taishi Ci, who had no talent, no longer expected to surrender to these famous scholars of the dynasty to stand up, but instead hid in the deep mountains and dense forests in the southern part of Danyang to establish his own business. He called himself the prefect of Danyang, formed an alliance with the local Zongshu Lang, and became the mountain king in Jingxian.
Of course, that was the future. Liu Yao was just gaining a foothold in Qu'a, and Taishi Ci had just come from Xuzhou and had just joined Liu Yao's tent for a few days.
When the time is right, Cang Yaozu is ready to go over and recruit him. Taishizi Yiyao is definitely a talented person, but he is a little ambitious and not so calm.
Cang Yaozu would not underestimate anyone, let alone Taishi Ci and Dong Xi, who have higher martial power than him.
Cang Yaozu now has no warships or troops to Dong Xi, mainly because there is no money to recruit soldiers to build ships. Huang Longluo said that Sheng Xian, the prefect of Wu County, is very wealthy, and Cang Yaozu wants to make a vote.
Alas, it’s not appropriate, there must be a bottom line, unless it’s a bad person.
At this moment, Cang Yaozu had a little hope that Huang Longluo would go back on his word, so Cang Yaozu would have a full meal. Oh, why is it a little evil? Be careful of being alone and be careful of being alone.
Huang Longluo said that Sheng Xian's ship also entered the Yuyao River, probably following the Jukun. The Jukun ship was very fast, even if it was going upstream, Sheng Xian and his team would not be able to speed up, and it would have to rely on manpower to row the oars.
You can't turn evil and rob money and grain. Cang Yaozu is actually not very interested in famous scholars like Sheng Xian. Empty talk can ruin the country. Only by working hard can you prosper the country. Yu Fan is famous for his hard work, which is also what Cang Yaozu admires most.
Shipbuilding still has to rely on these aristocratic families for the time being. Cang Yaozu planned to place an order for the Wu Hui family to build ships, and he needed both sea and building ships. He could come up with some ideas and techniques. If steel ships are not easy to build now, then build a packaged iron ship.
In this era, the catapults had not yet boarded the ship. At most, the attack methods for water battles were to hit the corners, beat the rods, burn them with fire, shoot them with arrows, and underwater chiseling ships and hand-to-hand combat. If you can't do it, just pull a few iron cables in the river, or use a shipwreck to block the channel.
Speaking of these technical and tactical issues, Cang Yaozu is certainly not afraid, Cang Yaozu is mainly because there is no one or no money.
Hey, you said, the system doesn’t send a gold mine? Cang Yaozu knew that there were several gold mine veins in Qingzhou, but it was still impossible to get through for the time being, and the distant water cannot quench the near thirst.
When Jiangdong is settled and there are soldiers and boats, I will definitely use a leapfrog tactic to grab Qingzhou. Anyway, Yuan Shao will be almost finished by then.
Tons of gold must be dazzling. When I think of the joy, Cang Yaozu couldn't help but hum a song. He sang "Dingjun Mountain":
Life and death are just like weeds
Wait for the wind to roar and spark the fire to burn
Fate is unpredictable, and all fools are drawing the ground to make prison
A voice of laughter and proud, with the sunrise in the east as the sign
Head drum, fight rice
Two-way drum, tight robe
Tee drum, knife unshelf
Four drums, hand over the soldiers
The Great Pass of the Thousand Miles, the Beacon Fire and the Wolf Smoke
Over a thousand mountains, overlooking the sky like an eagle and a falcon
Turn the tide, and the grudges are broken
Praying is not our own way
The Great Pass of the Thousand Miles, the Beacon Fire and the Wolf Smoke
Women are brave, this great map of territory is to be revealed
You should have gotten used to this triumphant battle
Looking back on the railing, I will be quiet and far-reaching.
In the doom, who can truly be free
Wait until the rain is gone, wash away your desires
It also looks at the moment, all the heroes are heroes
A laugh and proud voice, I follow my right path
Head drum, fight rice
Two-way drum, tight robe
Tee drum, knife unshelf
Four drums, hand over the soldiers
Cang Yaozu was so beautiful in his heart, and his humming sound became a little louder, and he was heard by Yu Fan and Zhao Dali.
Yu Fan felt that the small tune that Cang Yaozu hummed was very fresh, with a unique rhythm, and he had no more thoughts. He could understand that Cang Yaozu's happiness. Dong Xi was indeed a tiger general, and it was definitely a blessing to get his allegiance.
Zhao Dali is different. She thought the song was weird and beautiful, so she asked Cang Yaozu what song it was.
"Ding...well, this is a new song I wrote, which is for you, the heroine. When you achieve great success in your magical skills, you will help me expand my territory and protect the country and the people!"
"Ah, the song I wrote for me? Can you write it for me?"
"Of course." Cang Yaozu couldn't help but feel proud when he saw Zhao Dali like this song. He wanted to talk about cultural entertainment, he was professional. Well, taking time to hold a solo concert in this man would definitely shock these local tycoons.
Unfortunately, there is no lighting and sound equipment. No, there is a very professional audio equipment on Jukun, which can be used completely. There is no problem with accompaniment. The lighting is dazzling, but the lighting is absolutely fine. If it really doesn't work, it can be used. Anyway, people in this era have no concept of lighting at all.
