Anecdote of Niu Zhaolian

1926, Liu Zhenhua led 100,000 Song Jun into Guanzhong and besieged Ann. Xi' an burned, killed and looted the people, causing many evils to urban and rural areas, which made people angry. At the beginning of the besieged city, Liu Zhenhua heard about the fame of Niu Caizi for a long time, and prepared a gift to hire Niu Caizi to work for him in the bookstore on the south slope of Lantian County. Who knows, when Liu Zhenhua arrived at the door of the library, he saw that the door was closed and there were two dogs barking. Liu Zhenhua didn't understand the reason, so he stopped. His men wanted to kill the dog, so he forced to scare him and stood outside the door holding his hand and waiting impatiently. After more than an hour, the door of the library was opened and someone came out to introduce Liu Zhenhua into the library. Liu Zhenhua said loudly at the sight of a talented cow; I've heard a lot about you, Mr. Wang. I'm glad to meet you today. Today, I visited Mr. Xi for advice. I hope Mr. Xi can go out of the mountain and help the incompetent achieve great things. Niu Tiancai answered unhurriedly; Tell the general that I am just a poor scholar, and I have no ability to bring back the dead, and I have no ability to help the general achieve great things. Only from books; The people are the country and the country is better. I hope the general will be kind to the people, think of the people all over the world, have his own happiness and know nothing else. Liu Zhenhua saw this and said; It is rumored that Mr. Wang has foresight. I hope Mr. Wang Can will tell me the good and bad news of the besieged city. Niu Caizi answered; The outside rumors are not credible, all of which are the words of rural beauty. The situation of besieged city before us; General Ergouzi is unwilling to use force, let alone Erhu. (At that time, Yang Hucheng was guarding the city, and together with Li Huchen, the two generals were called the two tigers guarding the city. ) the general is helpless, in a word; The general should be kind to the people.

When this was said, Liu Zhenhua, who was in a panic, swore and immediately sent someone to catch the genius cow. At this time, Liu Zhenhua is like a cat on hot bricks, and the ups and downs in his heart are hard to calm down. When it came out, he couldn't hide it, but he wanted to withdraw and was afraid of making people laugh. Soon, the soldiers who caught Niu Caizi came back to report that Niu Caizi had not come back after a long journey yesterday morning. The news annoyed Liu Zhenhua and made Niu Caizi laugh. Later, Yu Youren, Feng Yuxiang and others led an army attack, and the troops of Zhensong in Liu Zhenhua retreated, and Ann was cleared. It's been 80 years, and whenever people mention the siege of the Eastern Army, they all admire Niu Caizi. It is said that the daughter of Niu Caizi is busy (called busy for a period of time after the summer harvest every year). One night, when she went to the toilet, she heard her father talking to himself in the yard: "North and south of the Tianhe River, it's cool to cut wheat in summer, so you can eat enough with big irrigation and small irrigation." After autumn, every household can fry a bucket, and the bucket becomes a success! Then I went back to my room. His daughter went back to her husband's house and asked her to plant autumn crops on all the land in the house.

Sure enough, there was a bumper harvest of beans in autumn. Niu's in-laws were overjoyed and thanked him with harvested beans. I don't know why. After the in-laws explained the reason, Niu Caizi lost his temper and never allowed his daughter to come to the door again. It is said that Niu Caizi walked on the beach, looking at the sand on the ground and telling pedestrians; There is silver on the ground, and some lucky people find it. At that time, people were puzzled, but today, people know that this old gentleman's foresight has made future generations admire him.
