Chapter 493 Sun Jian Is Dead? [Seeking Monthly Votes]

“Robbing the landowner!”

As soon as Wukong finished speaking, the Mountain God, who got three twos and a small king on the side, hurriedly started to grab. Three twos and a small king. This lineup is definitely worth a try.

However, as soon as he shouted, Wukong deliberately picked his ears:

"What did you say? The wind was a bit strong, and I didn't hear clearly. Are you trying to steal the landowner from me?"

Mountain God: "..."

If you threaten like this, you've lost the essence of Landlords.

However, the situation was stronger than the gods. As a low-level god, the mountain god finally wisely chose to give up:

"Ahem, it's not about robbing the landlord. What I just said was about missing Zhang Wu... Immortal Taibai, do you call me the landlord?"

Taibai Jinxing looked at his cards, shook his head and said:

"I don't have any good cards, so let's forget it. Lord Monkey King, I hope you will be merciful and don't let us lose too ugly."

Wukong grabbed the trump card and laughed:

"It's easy to talk about."

He arranged the cards and then started playing cards.

First go out with the company, then go out with the pair, and finally go out with three and one.

The mountain god wanted to use his three-two to beat him several times, but he was worried about retaliation, but if he didn't play his cards, he was afraid of making Taibai Jinxing angry.

It’s really not easy to play cards with the leader!

There were only two cards left in Wukong's hand. The Mountain God felt that it would be somewhat unjustifiable if he didn't stop him... It would be okay if he lost in a fight, but it would be too fake to let the opponent run away without playing a single card.

Just as he was about to throw out three twos, Taibai Jinxing suddenly took action and threw down four threes first:

"I'm sorry, great sage, little old man, I have a bomb!"

Wukong looked at the only pair of four left in his hand and couldn't help but scratch his ears.

This old man, couldn't you just take apart the cards and give them to me?

Now it's good, these two cards in my hand are now in my hand.

Just as he was thinking about it, Wukong caught a glimpse of Zhang Daoling falling from the sky. He quickly threw away the cards in his hand, disrupted the fallen cards, and welcomed him warmly:

"Lao Zhang, welcome, I was talking about you just now... Little mountain god, don't be stunned, hurry up and make tea."

The mountain god breathed a sigh of relief, put the cards in his hand into the poker pile, and hurriedly made tea for Zhang Daoling.

Fortunately, the great sage went to seek help right away. Otherwise, if he continued to play like this, his life would be in danger... The workplace rules are indeed correct. Never play with your boss, it's not good!

Zhang Daoling gave the banana to Wukong and said with a smile:

"Your master, Tang Sanzang, has just arrived at Shuangcha Ridge. He should stay at Liu Boqin's house for two days. After delivering salvation to Liu Boqin's father, he will come to take you out of seclusion."

Wukong peeled a banana and ate it into his stomach in a few mouthfuls:

"Nowadays, the entire Tang Dynasty is based on Hinayana Buddhism. Isn't it impossible to achieve salvation?"

"Buddhist scriptures cannot save you, but your master is the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi. He chants the sutras himself. Not to mention a mere mortal soul, even a thousand-year-old ghost can be saved easily."

"The relationship is good. After he finishes studying, I will take him to Huaguo Mountain to give salvation to those monkeys who died in vain...Old Zhang, if I become a disciple, do I need to prepare a gift?"

Zhang Daoling sat down with a smile:

"Why did the Great Sage say this?"

"The information given by His Highness the Holy Son said that you need to prepare gifts and various rules to become a disciple. Now I have nothing. The robes I snatched from the Dragon King of the Four Seas have all turned into ashes. I am left empty-handed. What should I do?"

You guy hit me on the head with the autumn wind, right... Zhang Daoling said quickly:

"In urgent matters, there is no need to prepare a gift. Instead, I have prepared a gift for you. Tang Sanzang will give it to you when you get out of trouble."

Wukong threw the banana peel far away and rolled his eyes:

"It can't be a golden hoop, right? Don't forget, I, Old Sun, have just read the original text of "Journey to the West" and will not be deceived again!"

In the original work, Xuanzang, who never lied, took the little flower hat given by Bodhisattva, lied that it belonged to him when he was a child, and tricked Wukong into wearing it on his head.

Wukong, who had an exquisite heart with seven orifices, didn't notice the clues, and took the initiative to put the tight band on his head. From then on, his weak spot was pinched by Xuanzang.

Now that Wukong has read the original work, he will naturally not be fooled again.

Zhang Daoling waved his whisk and said:

"Don't worry, Monkey King, the empress will not do that. She hopes that the Monkey King who will appear in front of the world in the future will be the Monkey King who dares to fight against heaven and earth, rather than the Buddha who wears a golden hoop to fight against the enemy... She will target your shortcomings and use her innate The spirit bead has refined a magic weapon that can make up for all your shortcomings."

When Wukong heard this, he was so excited that he didn't even bother to eat the banana:

"When I, Sun, fight in the fire from now on, I won't need to use the fire-avoiding technique with one hand?"

"Need not."

"What about in the water? Don't you need to use the Water Avoidance Technique?"

"Yes, it is protected from fire, water, smoke and dust. All your shortcomings will be made up for."

Wukong was so moved that his eyes were red, he threw away the banana in his hand, raised his hands and bowed to the sky:

"Thank you, Madam. I, Old Sun, will do my best to protect the human race and not let go of any demons and monsters that harm the human race!"

Taibai Jinxing pulled Zhang Daoling and asked in a low voice:

"Tianshi, what does the plot of the great sage mean?"

Zhang Daoling explained with a smile:

"We are actually characters in a book. This book is called "Journey to the West". I will give you a mobile phone. If you don't be busy, read it and you will understand everything."

The world of Journey to the West is different from the world of Fengshen.

The world of gods is about going back to the past and starting over, so all the gods there know their own destiny and have made choices based on their own interests.

The Journey to the West world develops in a normal order, and the characters in it almost don’t know the storyline, so Taibai Jinxing looks confused.

While Zhang Daoling was explaining this, in the real world, Li Yu was having a video call with Zhang Ping:

"Mom, are all those branches alive?"

"Yes, the original leaves fell off soon after they were planted, but now they have sprouted again. When we take them back in winter, they will continue to grow in the yard of the B&B."

Zhang Ping went to the balcony to show her son the green plants in the pots, and then asked:

"It's almost the end of the month. When will Tongtong's parents come to the B&B? If the date is confirmed, your dad and I will adjust our shifts and take leave as needed, and quickly settle your marriage."

Li Yu took a sip of the cold brewed tea on the table:

"Why are you so anxious? Are you afraid that I will be snatched away by another girl?"

Zhang Ping rolled her eyes at her son:

"Your dad and I are afraid that Tongtong will not want you one day, and will be with another girl. If you dare to do something to let Tongtong down, I will break your dog legs overnight!"

Mom, your attitude is not conducive to the development of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law conflicts.

Li Yu said:

"I was just joking. It's not easy to find a girlfriend, so I will definitely spoil her to the core."

"Let's do this for now. Your dad and I are going to the park for a walk. Don't eat sweets and fruits all the time. Exercise more. Don't indulge in food just because you are handsome."

Okay, I can't refute what you said.

After finishing the chat, Li Yu found that cold brew tea is quite interesting. Cold water plus ice cubes can actually brew tea flavor. Drinking it can relieve summer heat and satisfy tea addiction. It's the best of both worlds.

Putting down the teacup, he looked at the time. Just as he was about to go downstairs for dinner, he ran into Lu Bu.

"Brother, I'm in Wancheng. They plan to build a hydroelectric power station by themselves. Just let me prepare the materials... Gongming has done a good job in Wancheng. Once the grievance meeting was held, the enthusiasm of the people was also aroused. The iron mine also tried to make a batch of farm tools, which are very convenient to use."

The steel of the Han Dynasty was almost all used in weapons. There was not much innovation in farm tools. Most of them were made of wood, such as wooden shovels, wooden plows, wooden shovels, etc.

Li Yu said:

"I bought a large cart of shovel heads, all in the warehouse. If there is a need over there, you can transport some."

When Lu Bu heard this, he planned to go to the warehouse to take a look.

Wancheng is a bridgehead for promoting the policies of the Han Dynasty. The more advanced the farm tools of the people are, the better their lives will be, and the more they can attract people from Runan and Jingzhou.

In fact, since Huang Zhong sent some soldiers from Jingzhou back, people have been coming to surrender.

When Pang De brought Xinye and other counties back under his command and held a grievance meeting, more people were attracted.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao's promotion of poor people was already despised and excluded by the gentry. Those illiterate people were not even considered human beings in the eyes of the gentry.

Now the court held a grievance meeting, not only to encourage everyone to speak out about the injustice they had suffered, but also to uphold justice for everyone, bring those who had committed heinous crimes to justice, behead those who should be beheaded, and confiscate their homes.

After these things spread, the people naturally supported them enthusiastically.

When Guan Yu was stationed in Jingzhou, he had only tens of thousands of troops, but he beat Cao Wei to defend with more than 100,000 troops all year round. Cao Ren, who was known as the offensive kaleidoscope, was forced to become a defender by Guan Yu because Guan Yu had been promoting literacy among the people in Jingzhou.

This kind of rebellious behavior in the eyes of the literati won the hearts of the people, so that from that time on, there was a worship of Guan Yu among the people.

Unfortunately, the historical materials of Shu were destroyed in large quantities, and there is no detailed information about what Lao Guan did in Jingzhou. Only a few words can be found in the biographies of generals of Cao Wei and Sun Wu.

When Lu Bu came to the warehouse and saw the pile of shovel heads, he smiled and said:

"I saw some people on the Internet saying that Lao Guan had been defeated all his life, and I don't know how he became a god. This kind of speech is really funny."

Li Yu nodded:

"In 219 AD, Cao Cao repeatedly increased troops along the Jingzhou line, and even transferred troops from the Hanzhong front line. If Lao Guan was really as stupid as modern people understand, wouldn't Cao Cao's arrangement be unnecessary?"

The battle report will lie, but the battle line will not.

At the beginning, Lao Guan pushed the battle line to the north by himself. At the closest time, the troops were less than 200 miles away from Xuchang, which frightened A Man so much that he almost moved the capital.

This kind of victory can't be achieved by others.

Lu Bu asked:

"Are there a few people with ulterior motives who are deliberately slandering the beliefs and culture of the Han people?"

"Yes, let alone Lao Guan, a few years ago, even Yue Fei and Wen Tianxiang were expelled from the list of national heroes, saying that they were sinners who destroyed national unity, but now there are fewer such arguments."

Lu Bu became interested:

"Why? Did those people find their conscience?"

Li Yu shook his head:

"No, they found that the Han people began to mourn Ran Min."

Compared with the nearly perfect Yue Fei, Ran Min had many shortcomings and could even be described as a tyrant, but he issued an order to kill the Hu people, calling on the Han people to take the initiative to kill the Hu people.

As soon as the edict was issued, the Jie people, who were raging in the north at that time, were killed by the Han people who rose up and became an endangered nation in just a few years, and eventually disappeared completely in the long river of history.

In the darkest period of the Five Barbarians' Rebellion, the order to kill the Hu people was like a lightning that broke through the night sky, bringing a ray of light to the Han people.

Based on this alone, Wudao Tianwang can occupy a place in Han cultural beliefs.

Lu Bu slapped his thigh when he heard this:

"What a great order to kill the Hu people. We must put Ran Min's story into the university curriculum in the future. Students from all colleges must study it seriously and carry out this spirit to the end!"

Brother, don't cultivate a bunch of national fanatics... Li Yu counted the materials in the warehouse and put together a complete set of small hydropower station equipment.

Although the power generation will not be too large, it is enough for the Wancheng mine and steel plant to use, and even a flour mill can be built to increase the efficiency of the people's flour milling.

Compared with the ancient stone mill, even the most basic flour milling equipment can increase the efficiency by more than ten times.

In order to prevent Xu Huang and others from working behind closed doors, Li Yu planned to let the people who had built the hydropower station in Chang'an go to Wancheng to be responsible for the construction. Unfortunately, the chief engineer Cai Yan was about to give birth and could not come to the site to guide.

After looking at the equipment, Lu Bu planned to start moving over there after dinner.

When he arrived at the restaurant, dinner had been served. Tonight, he had beef pie hot and sour soup. The hot and sour soup relieved the heat and stimulated the appetite, and at the same time, it could replenish the body's necessary water.

Li Yu had just picked up a beef patty and started eating when Liu Xie came over:

"Sir, are you calling me for something?"

"Yes, have your wind turbines been set up?"

"All right, Zhang Daoling is amazing, with a simple wave of his hand, all the wind turbines have been erected. Now the power generation is super high, and Du Ji is going to build an industrial zone next to the salt pond for convenient electricity use."

The transmission of electricity requires high and low voltage electricity, which is relatively complicated. Relatively speaking, it is much more convenient to build an industrial zone next to a power station.

Li Yu told Liu Xie about the construction of the hydropower station in Wancheng, and Liu Xie agreed as soon as he heard it:

"When I go back, I will issue an order to Chang'an to let all those involved in the construction of the hydropower station go to Wancheng, and also let the Royal Academy of Sciences send some experts to accumulate experience."

Lu Bu asked about salt:

"How much salt have you produced?"

"One hundred thousand bags, now the packaging bags are used up, waiting for new bags to be customized by you."

Hearing this number, Lu Bu looked incredible:

"One hundred thousand bags were made so quickly?"

"Yes, the machine processing can be non-stop day and night, and we have also tried the three-shift system. Everyone is very receptive, but unfortunately there are no bags, so everyone has to open up some salt fields."

The salt pond is surrounded by typical saline-alkali land, where crops cannot be grown. There are a lot of wastelands, and thousands of acres of salt fields can be dug at random.

After the packaging bags were delivered, Liu Xie and Sun Facai left Hedong and returned to Chang'an.

After leaving the capital for so long, Liu Xie had to go back to take charge of the overall situation, and Sun Facai also had to prepare for Cai Yan's childbirth.

Li Yu had already bought maternity supplies and infant clothing, and Mu Guiying had taken them to Muke Village, where she first cleaned them with dust-repelling beads, and then asked Zhang Daoling to purify them with divine power to avoid any harmful substances remaining.

Lu Bu said:

"Send me 10,000 bags of salt later, and I will give them to the officials in Wancheng as a reward to boost morale."

"Okay, I'll prepare it when I get back."

After dinner, Liu Xie filled a large insulated lunch box with a full box of hot and sour soup, and took away a large basket of beef pies, so that Sun Facai and Lu Zhi could enjoy the delicious food from the real world.

Lu Bu drove an electric five-wheeler and first took away the water and electricity equipment, and then took away dozens of tons of construction steel bars, two large carts of cement and various construction equipment.

In addition to these, he sent a tank of diesel to Wancheng for the excavators there.

While he was busy, Liu Xie sent 10,000 bags of Han official salt, and Lu Bu drove the car away directly and sent it to Wancheng, asking Xu Huang to reward the meritorious officials.

In addition to Wancheng, Chang'an, Luoyang, Hanoi, Taiyuan, and Shangdang will also send some Dahan official salt as a year-end reward, and by the way, let the officials get in touch with these products in advance to prepare for the future salt and iron monopoly.

"I never thought that salt could be so exquisite and beautiful. I can't bear to eat it."

In the Wancheng prefectural government, Pang De took a bag of Dahan official salt and looked at it carefully. Not to mention eating it, he even wanted to put it in a box as a family heirloom of the Pang family.

Lu Bu said:

"Look at your useless look. Salt will be a common thing in the future. Why do you collect this thing?"

He sat down and drank two sips of tea, then asked:

"Did Deng Zhi go to Chang'an with his whole family, or did he go alone?"

Xu Huang picked up the teapot and continued Lu Bu:

"The whole family went. Mr. Wenhe personally ordered it, which made Deng Zhi very happy. The whole family took a bullock cart and went to Chang'an along the Wuguan Pass. They arrived the day before yesterday. General Cheng Lian replied and told us not to worry."

Xun Chen on the side added:

"When he left, Deng Zhi's family specially prepared a new set of clothes for him and told him not to disgrace the name of the Xinye Deng family."

Deng Zhi was from the Xinye Deng family, which was considered a direct lineage. As for whether Deng Ai was a member of this branch, it was hard to say.

Lu Bu felt that it was still early for Deng Ai to be born, so he could wait a little longer.

He put down his teacup and asked:

"Is there any news about other famous generals in Nanyang County?"

Xun Chen said:

"I have heard about Wen Pin. He seems to be a low-level officer in Jingzhou. We have sent people to look for him. If there is any trace, we will definitely find him."

Although Wen Pin is not well-known, he is a governor who is both civil and military. He has guarded Jiangxia for more than ten years in history. He can be said to have made great contributions.

If he can be captured, there will be another general to govern the area.

Lü Bu instructed:

"Don't forget Wei Yan. Zhuge Liang said that he has a rebellious nature. I have searched through the original book, but I can't find where this guy's rebellious nature is."

Wei Yan in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is simply portrayed according to the appearance and personality of Guan Yu, so he has always been known as the Little Guan Yu. How could such a person rebel?

Relatively speaking, Meng Da likes to rebel. He was first a subordinate of Liu Zhang, and later became Liu Bei's guide. After Guan Yu's death, he surrendered to Cao Wei and was immediately promoted.

When he was beheaded, he was about to lead his troops to surrender to Western Shu again, but unfortunately Sima Yi did not give him this opportunity and directly executed his entire family.

While chatting, Hou Cheng rode to the prefect's mansion and brought the intelligence he had just discovered:

"Report to the general, news came from Jiangxia that Sun Jian is dead..."
