Chapter 665 Hometown
Huang Zhong's funeral was very grand. After all, he was a veteran of two dynasties. Liu Chan personally asked people to come to worship on behalf of the emperor. Most of the generals and officials in Jingzhou area also came. In addition to fighting in recent years, Huang Zhong taught military tactics and trained soldiers in the academy. Most of the middle and low-level generals and officials in Jingxiang area had listened to classes under his sect. On the day of his burial, it was really lively.
But everyone has left, what's the point of being lively?
After helping with Huang Zhong's funeral, Liu Yi began to work like a machine. He went to Jiangdong or Guangling area every day to urge construction. Bulks of money were transported from the court and invested by Liu Yi. At the same time, because of the investment of a lot of money, the business in this area began to become rich.
"Tao Fu, take a break. If you continue like this, your body will not be able to bear it." After the New Year's Eve, Ma Jun arrived at the shipyard. On the one hand, it was to see the progress of these dredgers. On the other hand, the preliminary preparations for the Yangtze River Bridge have been completed. Thousands of craftsmen are on both sides of the Taiwan Strait to prepare for the next step of construction.
"While I still have some energy, as soon as possible, I promised my wife that she would take her to see a broader world in her lifetime!" Liu Yi shook his head: "Besides, this daily thing is decided. Today's things are done today, and I will leave a tail for tomorrow every day. With the accumulation of time, how many things will be delayed."
"What the Taifu said is very true." Ma Jun nodded with a wry smile: "Now Xiaguan understands why the great man has developed so rapidly over the years."
If they are like Liu Yi, it would be reasonable for the Han Dynasty to go from the weakest of the Three Kingdoms to the strongest of the Three Kingdoms in recent years to the strongest of the Three Kingdoms to the final pacification of the world. Look at the current major cities of the Han Dynasty, compared with the Lingdi period, it is completely different from the time of Emperor Ling.
"Don't say these flattery words, it's easy to take it seriously when people get old." Liu Yi grinned and said, "But this ship has been built and was specially built for the construction of the Yangtze River Bridge. You will do the next step in supervising the construction of the Yangtze River Bridge. I really need to rest for a while."
"Where is the Grand Tutor going?" Ma Jun smiled and said, "I'll ask someone to arrange a guard."
"It's considered a success and a success. It's time to return to my hometown to see those people back then. I don't know how many more I can see." Liu Yi said with a smile.
In fact, he had no hometown in this era, but the Mocheng, Wolonggang, and fishing town of the past can all be regarded as his hometown? Huang Quan also died last year. Cui Zhouping had been the governor of Jingzhou for so many years, but now he is going to Chang'an to take over the position of Taiwei. With Cui Zhouping's qualifications and abilities, it is also appropriate. This time he happened to visit his old friend.
"It is true that the Grand Tutor will go by himself, so the officials here will definitely take good care of them." Ma Jun said with a smile.
"I'm working hard." Liu Yi nodded and asked Ma Jun to arrange the staff. He took the guards to the fishing town, the lonely house in Yueyang. Even though the prefect of Yueyang has added a lot of servants and maids to him now, he still can't feel the feeling of home. Perhaps the fishing town will feel more comfortable.
In fact, the fishing town is no longer a township. It is considered to be the nearest county in Yueyang. Because Liu Yi made the city wall back then, it was also a very prosperous city. However, after returning to the fishing town, there were not many familiar faces that could be seen.
After hearing Liu Yi's arrival, the county magistrate of the fishing town hurriedly came out to greet him. There was a little bit of flattery and flattery, but there was a little bit of favor. Liu Yi walked around the city with the county magistrate, but he saw not many acquaintances.
"The Grand Tutor has been leaving this fishing town for more than 20 years." The Fishing County Magistrate looked at Liu Yi with a wry smile: "Some of those people in the early years have passed away, and some have moved to Yueyang to live. Most of them have settled down here over the years."
"That's right, it's good. People go to high places and water flow to low places. Yueyang is the first city in Jingnan after all. There is nothing wrong with choosing to go there." Liu Yi came out of the Fishing Township Academy and nodded. He couldn't find what he wanted. This Fishing Township is a place where talents are easy to produce. I think those people who had accumulated some wealth at home back then, so it was understandable to go to Yueyang.
But I didn't see any acquaintances in Yueyang.
"The county magistrate doesn't have to pay attention to me. My house is here, go and do your business." Liu Yi brought the guards into his former home, and the cleaning was quite clean.
"If the Taifu needs it, the subordinates will obey orders at any time!" The county magistrate hurriedly bowed.
"Well, go." Liu Yi came to the pavilion, looked at the familiar scenery around him, waved his hand, and signaled the county magistrate to leave.
Wangcai was still there back then, and Wukong's monkey was also there. Although the courtyard was not big, it was quite lively. His two children were born here.
Groping through the doghouse where Wangcai lived, Liu Yi remembered that Liu Ming was naughty back then, but Wangcai was worried. Liu Ming held Wangcai's child and played with Wangcai's anxious but helpless expression. Thinking about it now, it seems like yesterday, but now, his daughter is married, and Wangcai is buried in Dayuan...
Staying in the attic for a whole night, the next morning, Liu Yi took the guard to take a boat and headed straight for Mocheng. However, the situation in Mocheng was similar to that in the fishing town. He didn't see any acquaintances. Liu Yi returned to the Jiangxia construction site with a little disappointed mood.
"Tao Fu, see who is coming?" Ma Jun hurriedly stepped forward and smiled when he saw Liu Yi.
"Madam?" Liu Yi looked at Lu Lingqi behind Ma Jun, and his lost and lonely heart suddenly became warm: "Aren't you helping Cheng'er take care of the child?"
"I ask Mrs. Zhao to take care of Cheng'er's child, and my sister is here, it's okay." Lu Lingqi shook her head, her hair full of hair and an old face, no longer as beautiful as before, but that kindness and attachment made Liu Yi's heart extremely fulfilled in an instant.
"I have been working hard for my children for most of my life. Now I just want to spend more time with my husband." Lu Lingqi said with a smile.
"Okay, take your wife to Wolonggang tomorrow. That is the hometown of Kong Ming and me. It's just that the house was sold to Cui Zhouping, but you can go to Kongming's old house to spend a stay and go to visit Cui Zhouping in two days. He is going to be Situ in the court, so I should send him off!" Liu Yi said with a smile.
Ma Jun suddenly realized that Liu Yi, who rarely laughed, suddenly laughed too much today.
Originally, Liu Yi was not going to Wolonggang again, but after seeing his wife, he suddenly changed his mind. That was his first place to settle in this era. The place where he knew Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei's brothers was half his roots. It was time to go and see it, at least let his wife recognize the family.
That night, after the couple rested in Jiangxia for a night, they took a boat to Wolonggang, Xiangyang the next morning.
Compared with Mocheng and fishing towns, Wolonggang has not changed much in recent years. Firstly, the local area is in a remote position, and secondly, when Liu Yi was in Wolonggang, the only thing he built was the house sold to Cuizhouping. Even though it is still a property in Cuizhouping, Liu Yi has regained a lot of the feelings he felt back then.
What surprised Liu Yi even more was that many of the villagers who were living in the past were still alive, but most of them were gray-haired, but the stingy three elders had passed away.
The eldest brother Wang next door also had a son. He still remembered that Mrs. Wang was thinking about the wall in front of his door and confessed that he had not given the Wang family a child. Now his son is over 20 years old.
Just looking at the somewhat sensible old woman, Liu Yi didn't know how to express his feelings for a moment.
"Let me tell you, old brother, Sikong in the dynasty knows, Liu Yi, the one who destroyed Wei!" The old woman grabbed Liu Yi's hand with a bright smile on her face. She obviously didn't recognize Liu Yi, or she could no longer recognize anyone.
"Don't blame the grand tutor. My mother became like this after my father died a few years ago." The honest young man looked a bit like Brother Wang next door, and explained in awe.
"It's okay." Liu Yi sighed, and did not break free. He sat beside the old woman and smiled, "I know, sister-in-law, what's wrong?"
"I lived next door. At the first time, I knew that he was definitely not an ordinary person. Look at the dragon carved in the yard, it was like a living person." The old woman said mysteriously: "Now my companion has gone, I don't have to worry about laughing with you, brother. Back then, I was the number one beauty in Wolonggang. Don't look at Sikong's current position and power, I was fascinated by me back then."
"Yes... is it..." Liu Yi's smile on his face was a little stiff. The number one beauty in Wolonggang back then? Who judged it, why don't you know?
"Mom, stop talking!?" The son was so scared that his face was pale. He quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Liu Yi, "Don't blame me, my mother..."
"It's okay, don't do this, get up." Liu Yi shook his head.
"Sister, what about later?" Lu Lingqi, who was standing beside the old woman, sat next to her with interest and asked.
"That Sikong, don't look very famous. Back then, it was so bad. Zeng Yuexia wanted to follow me..." The old woman covered her face and smiled.
The Wang family Dalang's face turned pale. Regardless of whether this was the case or not, he said this in front of the main leader. If this one is not done well, he will destroy the three tribes?
"No way?" Lu Lingqi looked at Liu Yi in surprise.
Liu Yi: “…”
I have to quit!
"But I already have the dead ghost in my family. I can't do such a thing, but I can understand that Sikong was young and was just in his prime, and he met me like me again~ I tell you, it's not just me, but Sikong couldn't make a happy love, but..."
Seeing his wife listening to her romantic affairs with relish, Liu Yi suddenly felt that returning to Wolonggang was a wrong decision.
Shaking his head and letting his wife ask about the unofficial history. Liu Yi chatted with several old men.
"Don't blame her for being a tutor. She has been suffering all her life. After finally having hope, the man died and went crazy." An old man and Liu Yi listened on the side and sighed.
"It's good to be not that stingy." Liu Yi shook his head, smiled and called the Wang family Dalang and said, "I heard that you are also a craftsman?"
"Yes." Dalang bowed and said, "I didn't have the chance to study, so I went to the city to learn some craftsmanship."
"Are you interested in being my disciple?" Liu Yi said with a smile.
"Ah?" Wang family Dalang looked at Liu Yi in shock, but he didn't react for a while.
"Don't?"
"Why are you still standing stupidly? Get a disciple!" an old man kicked him and cursed.
"Oh~ Meet the teacher!" Wang family Dalang quickly became obsessed with his body and kowtowed to Liu Yi.
"Get up, there are not so many rules. Get rid of it first and take your mother to Jiangxia. This is my token. With this, the people over there will take you to the construction site. I will go back in a few days and then officially become a disciple!"
"Thank you, my teacher!"
"Let's go and accompany me in Wolonggang. I haven't come back for a long time and can't recognize the way."
"Yes...uh...here~"
