Three Kingdoms: The Guan Family's Rebellious Son, Long Blessing Jing Xiang

Chapter 366 Isn't the ideal state in Kong Ming's heart like this?
The dangqu, which the Wei army put in countless efforts and placed high hopes on, was breached overnight.

Wang Ping was still fighting in the corner. He faced the attack of Wu Lan, Gao Xiang, and Wu Ban alone. He had already been injured and staggered, but he still fought desperately.

"Get out of the way—" Wei Yan joined, subconsciously, Wu Lan and the three quickly moved out of the way.

Wei Yan took the opportunity to slash Wang Ping's leg with his broadsword, creating a huge wound.

Unable to support himself, Wang Ping knelt down on one knee.

"die-"

Accompanied by Wei Yan's cry, he saw that his sword was about to fall from Wang Ping's forehead, but at this moment, a voice of "wait a minute" came from behind.

Wei Yan turned his head and saw Liu Bei and Fazheng coming behind him. It turned out that Wei Yan was not the only one who attacked Dangqu at night. Liu Bei and Fazheng came to support them with [-] soldiers.

"My lord? Xiaozhi?" Wei Yan asked in surprise.

Liu Bei nodded to him as a gesture, and then quickly walked in front of Wang Ping.

Wang Ping raised his head. From Wei Yan's words, he knew that the person who came must be Liu Bei, the new master of Sichuan, and he glared at Liu Bei angrily.

Liu Bei expressed compassion, and said sincerely: "I heard that General Wang is the leading warrior in the Jiaoren tribe. He is both wise and brave. I admire him. May I ask General Wang to help me rejuvenate the Han Dynasty? How about it?"

"Hahahaha..." Wang Ping laughed, supported the ground with his sword, dragged his injured leg, and walked slowly towards Liu Bei. He said with a wry smile, "Mr. Cao has kindness to me. I can't repay Mr. Cao, and I have the entrustment of General Zhengxi. I can't lead my people to take a new path. Then... I only have this way..."

Liu Bei thought he was going to surrender, so he relaxed a little, but unexpectedly, Wang Ping had other intentions in closing the distance with Liu Bei. He suddenly thrust his hand, as if exhausting all the strength in his body, and suddenly stabbed at Liu Bei with his sword.

Now, Wei Yan, Wu Lan, Gao Xiang, and Wu Ban were shocked...

Liu Bei was also surprised.

Only Fazheng, he was the closest to Liu Bei, and reacted quickly. He immediately dodged in front of Liu Bei. Wang Ping's sword had already hurt Fazheng.

On the other hand, Wang Ping raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, saying intermittently: "Mr. Cao appreciates me. I am a minister of Wei, and I will die as a ghost of Wei. Seeking benevolence and getting benevolence!"

After all, he didn't resist, and went to die willingly...

Seeing that Wang Ping was about to be chopped into flesh, Fazheng held his wound, and said to Liu Bei in an extremely weak voice: "Wait a minute... this is a loyal man, the Lord can use it!"

Even though he was injured by a sword, Fazheng was still thinking about his good friend Liu Bei.

I still want to find helpers for my good friend Liu Bei's great cause of revitalizing the Han Dynasty.

And this Wang Ping, he is not only a person, but also an extremely important branch of the Jinren tribe. Fazheng cannot let him die here. If he dies here, the Jinren tribe... that Dangqu, that Sanba will deeply bury hidden dangers.

Liu Bei's gaze only met Fazheng once, and he had already realized the profound meaning of Fazheng.

"Everyone stop—"

Following Liu Bei's voice, the weapons of Wei Yan and others were pressed against Wang Ping's neck, and Wang Ping's head was decapitated by just a little.

Liu Bei said with emotion at this time: "General Wang is a general of Wei. Doesn't what he did just now show his loyalty? Such a righteous man? How can I, Liu Bei, bear to kill him?"

"Take it away, and call the medical officer to heal the wound. Such a loyal person, no matter what his position is, is my guest of Liu Bei, and he must not be neglected—"

This…

Following Liu Bei's words, Wei Yan, Wu Lan, Gao Xiang, Wu Ban and others were startled.

Wang Ping was also shocked.

He didn't expect that his assassination of Liu Bei would be taken away by Liu Bei's words so lightly, without any intention of blaming him, and he even mentioned his righteousness!

At this time, Wang Ping's mind turned violently...

Cao Cao's sentence "Every brave soldier under his command, their lives are not worthless" and Liu Bei's sentence "What he did just now, doesn't it just show his loyalty? Such a righteous man? How can I, Liu Bei, bear to kill him!"

Two sentences in a row began to alternate and collide rapidly in Wang Ping's mind.

Wang Ping, as a concubine, did not have a high level of education, but he had also heard of Cao Cao's massacre of the city, and of Liu Bei's benevolent and righteous behavior.

I even heard that when Liu Bei was the Pingyuan Commander, an assassin wanted to assassinate Liu Bei, but Liu Bei received the assassin sincerely, which moved the assassin, and confessed that he was instructed to assassinate Liu Bei.

Wang Ping had never read a book, so he naturally didn't know what it means to "get more help if you are right, and less help if you are not right", but inexplicably, he was influenced by Liu Bei's charm just because of Liu Bei's words and actions, and his thoughts of Wei Chen and Wei Hun began to shake in his heart.

have to say…

What Liu Bei was born with is his unique charm, the kind of unique charm that climbs up from the bottom step by step, goes through hardships, but always treats others with kindness and benevolence...

Liu Bei was born at the bottom, and he can best understand the hardships of these bottom people!
"Liu...Liu..." Wang Ping opened his mouth in a murmur, as if... You looked incredible.

But Liu Bei waved his hand, "Don't say anything, the most urgent thing is General Wang's injury, and Xiaozhi's injury...everything, we'll talk about it after you've been healed!"

Having said that, Liu Bei glanced back at Fazheng, seeing that Fazheng was covering his wound, he was also looking at him, and nodded at him.

Between good gay friends, they can understand each other with just one look and one movement.

But at this time...

"Boom...boom..." Fazheng Wanruo didn't bring it up in one breath, and he fainted...his body fell heavily to the ground.

Liu Bei's pupils suddenly widened, and he hugged Fazheng, the worry on his cheeks was palpable, "Xiaozhi, Xiaozhi... quickly pass on to the medical officer, pass on to the medical officer—"

In this voice, the sincere concern for his subordinates could not be hidden, nor could it be pretended, and all these were reflected in Wang Ping's eyes.

Not long after, Fazheng and Wang Pingping were taken down to heal their wounds, and Liu Bei carried Fazheng on his back with a worried expression.

For a while, only Wei Yan, Wu Lan, Gao Xiang, Wu Ban and others remained in the busy official office.

With his chin in his hands, Wei Yan walked to the place where Fazheng fainted, and murmured, "Although Fazheng was hit by a sword, it seems that Fazheng's injury is not serious! Could it be..."

Thinking of this, Wei Yan clicked his mouth again, and he raised his head slightly to glance at the figure who was being carried away, and then said softly: "Could it be that Fa Xiao is just pretending? Is it pretending to be seen by Wang Ping?"

For a while, Wei Yan pondered.

My lord, Fazheng... Now there is another Zhang Fei, why all of them have a hundred minds!
It was Gao Xiang and Wu Ban behind Wei Yan who were discussing.

"Why did my lord suddenly appear here?"

The only one who knows all the answers is Zhang Fei's subordinate - Wu Lan!
It's just that at this moment, he is looking at his nose with his eyes, and his heart with his nose... a feeling that he can see through but can't explain clearly.

He knew in his heart that this battle started when the three generals got drunk and cheated Zhang He, and it was not over yet!
...

...

Mianshui Villa, this is Huang Yueying's home.

It's just... Now it seems that this place is more like Zhang Xingcai's home.

In fact, this winter, under the ravages of the Little Ice Age, it snowed for several days in Jiangling City. The heavy snow crushed hundreds of houses in Jiangling City, and greatly affected the progress of building a new city, so that Mi Fang had to rush back from Xiangyang City quickly to deal with a lot of troublesome things.

only…

The more disastrous the weather, the more "unique" this Mianshui Villa is. At this moment, under the guidance of Zhang Xingcai, Huang Yueying, Huang Zhong, and Xia Houjuan walked into this villa.

Looking at the entire villa, countless people are working hard in each workshop... Sometimes they concentrate, and sometimes they chat.

Heavy snow, natural disasters, winter, cold, these terrible rhetoric do not seem to affect their life in case.

Seeing the endless stream of people...

Xia Houjuan couldn't help asking when he saw that the workshops were full of people sweating profusely.

"How many people are there in Mianshui Villa?"

Zhang Xingcai suppressed the smile on his lips, and said truthfully to his mother Xia Houjuan: "There were already more than 6000 people before, most of whom were exiles and beggars. Everyone who wants to enter this villa needs to be inspected for three generations, inspect various relationships, and need someone to guarantee... Now it seems that the number of people is even more, I am afraid it has exceeded [-]!"

"So many..." Xia Houjuan was astonished at the number he heard.

You know, this is just a mountain villa, but there are 8000 people gathered in it, which is already the size of a small county town.

But it seems that this Mianshui Villa not only has workshops, but also places where these common people live, as well as schools, dining halls, horse stables... and even farms.

Even in winter, there are still sheds on the farm, and it seems that Youzi is growing those melons, fruits and vegetables that are not hardy.

There is the sound of reading in the classroom;

The cooks in the dining hall were preparing meals for nearly 8000 people at noon...

The horses in the stables are also fat and strong...

In the workshop, each craftsman is like a line, everyone is just repeating the fixed process, and at the end of the line, there are continuous completions of large or small ordnance manufacturing.
The entire Mianshui Villa performed their duties, and different people were doing different processes... in order. Although each of them looked very busy, it was obvious that they had satisfied expressions on their cheeks.

In this chaotic world where "the bones are exposed in the wild, and there are no chickens crowing for thousands of miles", having work, food, clothing, and a place to live is already too satisfying.

Not to mention... the workers in Mianshui Villa can still save money, the children of these workers can still go to school, and they can continue to live such a comfortable and peaceful life in Mianshui Villa when they grow up.

After all, the people of this era are still too miserable...

Only after suffering and living in the open air can we realize that Mianshui Villa is a paradise. Even if we have to work for six hours a day, even if we don’t have a few days of rest in a month, it is also a paradise, and it is a blessing!
The deeper you go, the more Huang Yueying feels...

It's not that I'm impressed by the size of this studio...

She was thinking, recalling the day when she married Zhuge Liang, the two of them were in the bridal chamber... chatting with each other about ideals, aspirations, and the prosperous age of his fantasy.

For a moment, Huang Yueying couldn't help muttering in her heart.

——"Isn't the Utopia that Kong Ming always mentioned to me like? 』

——"Let this world with broken etiquette be reshaped, everyone has clothes to wear, everyone has food to eat, everyone has work to do, and establish an ideal peaceful and prosperous world with good governance and harmonious people... At least, Guan Yunqi did it in Mianshui Villa!" 』

The more Huang Yueying looked at it, the more emotional she felt...

However, Huang Zhong couldn't help but ask: "Did the crossbow that shot and killed [-] soldiers of Cao Wei at that hour come from the hands of these coolies?"

Huang Zhong asked this casually, but Zhang Xingcai paused after hearing the words, and she stopped completely, then quickly turned around, and said solemnly: "They are not coolies, brother Yunqi said, they have a brand new name."

"What?" Huang Zhong was curious.

Zhang Xingcai blurted out: "Workers, Brother Yunqi said that they are all workers, and they can also be called craftsmen!"

"Worker? Craftsman?" Huang Yueying and Huang Zhong looked at each other, as if they were a little surprised by this title...

Zhang Xingcai explained: "According to Brother Yunqi, the so-called workers refer to those who rely on manual labor or skilled labor to get paid... They don't occupy any production resources, and can only get paid through labor!"

Zhang Xingcai gave a brief introduction...

Of course, when Guan Lin told her about the concept of workers, she was also confused.

However...Huang Yueying seems to have realized something, "In the "Guoyu" Zhouzhi "Zhiguan" there is a saying: "The enemy's guests come, and Guan Yin will tell... the people of the house offer food, Sima Chen Chu, and the workers show their cars. Hundreds of officials come with things, and guests are like home. There is a saying in "Xunzi Confucianism"...Set rules, Chen Shengmo, then spare, a gentleman is not as good as a worker..."

She directly cited "Guoyu" and "Xunzi", which seemed to be the basis. Huang Yueying's tone was much more certain, "Most of the workers mentioned by Yunqi have the same meaning as the workers described in this book."

actually…

Regarding the topic of "workers", Zhang Xingcai and Huang Yueying's experience is only one-sided.

But to distinguish whether a person is a worker or not?
It does not depend on what kind of labor is engaged in, but depends on whether the individual occupies the means of production, has no land and tools, and sells his labor power for a living!
Of course, Huang Yueying hadn't realized this level yet. She silently wrote down Zhang Xingcai's words and the worker's theory, and planned to discuss it with Kong Ming in detail when she returned to Bashu.

What she didn't know was that as early as in the previous answer sheet, Guan Lin explained to Zhuge Liang what the working class is, how to vigorously develop the working class, and how to use the working class to create a brand new and irreversible force to overthrow Cao Wei's rule.

"Well, it's a worker, not a coolie..."

Huang Zhong also followed Zhang Xingcai's words and changed his words.

Only then did Zhang Xingcai give up, because he hadn't met Huang Chengyan and Liu Ye for the time being, so as he went further into Mianshui Villa, Zhang Xingcai began to explain the magical weapons one by one.

"Old General Huang, the crossbow you mentioned that killed [-] Cao's troops in one hour is this one... Its range can reach [-] paces, and its power is astonishing... Before the battle of Xiangyang, it was our Mianshui Villa. In more than [-] days, we built more than [-] crossbows and a million crossbows... This is how the thief general Pound's army of more than [-] arrows was shot to death by ten thousand arrows in one hour, and no one survived the feat!"

Following Zhang Xingcai's introduction, Huang Zhong's eyes rested on that strange "stretching crossbow"...

His eyes gradually narrowed.

But before he could take a closer look, Zhang Xingcai introduced it again.

"Old General Huang, look at this big guy again. This is called the Eight-Ox Crossbow. Its range can reach eight hundred paces. The bolts it shoots can be buried deep into the city wall. When attacking Xiangyang City, it was relying on this... There is no need for a ladder at all, and you can easily ascend the city first! This Eight-Ox Crossbow is the invention that I admire the most from Brother Yunqi!"

Hmm... the three-hundred-step range of the crossbow.

The eight-hundred-step range of the eight-ox crossbow.

Following Zhang Xingcai's explanation, Huang Zhong recalled another past event, an unbearable past event.

It doesn't take [-] steps or [-] steps. Once upon a time, he, Huang Zhong, was only short of saving his young son:

—Twenty steps!

Only twenty steps away!

At this time, Zhang Xingcai's voice uttered again, "Actually, if the wind is favorable, the crossbows can take more than [-] steps, and if the wind is favorable, the crossbows can take more than [-] steps... If you use the wind direction, their power can actually be even stronger!"

Zhang Xingcai's original intention was to introduce Guan Lin's "great" invention...

But at this moment, her voice seemed to be piercing Huang Zhong's heart, making his heart ache... and all he could think about was the "twenty steps"

The "Twenty Steps" that almost saved his son!
...

...

The shadow of the remnant lamp swayed in the strong winter wind.

Seems like it's because it's too fast...

The city of Dangqu is especially hung with the banner of "Wei", which has not had time to change.

But Dangqu has changed its owner during this time.

Wang Ping's wound had already been bandaged by the sent doctor, and there were no extra guards outside his room, but a group of thugs surrounded him.

These people were recruited by Liu Bei when Liu Bei entered Shu and was sent by Liu Zhang to Jiameng Pass...

At that time, Liu Bei spread benevolence and righteousness in the places where he passed through Bashu, which won the favor of many people here, including these ethnic minorities, such as the Di people, and some tribes of the Jin people.

Some of the men of these ethnic groups took refuge in Liu Bei, and served as generals and pawns under Liu Bei's command!

Liu Bei specially asked them to meet Wang Ping.

In name, it was to appease him, but in fact...it was to let these swindlers persuade Wang Ping for him.

The words of Fazheng, a good friend, are vivid in my memory.

——"This Wang Ping can be used! 』

At this moment, a scorpion man talked in Wang Ping's ear: "It's true. Uncle Liu Huang has abolished the poll tax in the entire Bashu area, and implemented the sharing of people into mu... It is equivalent to, from now on, no matter how many children we sang people have, we don't have to pay taxes. Only landlords who own land and acres of fields need to pay taxes..."

Another person added: "At first, I thought that after Liu Zhang abolished the preferential treatment given to our tribe by King Qin Zhaoxiang, it would be good for Uncle Liu Huang to restore our preferential treatment. I never thought that he not only restored us, but also gave us preferential treatment. We hunt for a living. We have no land at all, and we don't need to pay taxes at all... Also, is there anything better than this?"

"What's more..." Another humane said: "Uncle Liu Huang is really good to the people. This is not pretending at all. Those big clans are hoarding and the prices are skyrocketing. He tries to set up a commercial bureau to stabilize prices. Those meritorious ministers ask him for land and acres. None of the ten..."

At this moment, a sentence of words from fellow villagers came to Wang Ping's ears.

Originally, he was shaken because of Liu Bei's words, because of Liu Bei's actions, because of Liu Bei's concern for his subordinates... because of the charm that radiated from the inside out.

If we say...Cao Cao's words, then "the lives of every brave soldier under his solitary subordinates are not worthless"...It's more like Cao Cao's value for the bravery and soldiers of his opponents.

But Liu Bei, what he values ​​is completely different, not military bravery, not soldiers, what he cares most about is the people in suffering!
It is precisely because of this special concern...

Let his whole body exude an incomparably gorgeous glow!

At this time, the voices of the surrounding people came out again.

"Patriarch... Patriarch, surrender to Uncle Liu Huang. Maybe he is not as strong as Cao Cao now, but... but Cao Cao is strong, it has nothing to do with us. Uncle Liu Huang is strong, and our clan can live a good life!"

"Patriarch, my family still has an eighty-year-old mother, so we really can't relocate, so let us stay in the canal here with peace of mind, and be under Uncle Liu's rule with peace of mind!"

"Patriarch, in fact... there have been a lot of news recently that Cao Cao suffered repeated setbacks in Jingzhou and Huainan. Many Wudoumi believers regretted following the leader and taking refuge in Cao Cao. Times have changed... times have changed!"

With these voices...

Wang Ping's heart trembled again and again, shaken again and again.

Finally Wang Ping got up slowly, because his leg was wounded and bandaged, he was leaning on a wooden stick.

"You guys wait, let me...let me go to pay a visit to this Uncle Liu."

...
