One year, Liu Bowen read a rare art book in the bookstore, which opened his mind. He analyzed the general trend of the world at that time and knew that the Yuan Dynasty was about to run out of luck and change its vitality. The new owner came from the people. He is determined to travel around the world, find a person like Liu Bei, be a counselor like Zhuge Liang, and help him conquer the country and secure the world.
Liu Bowen put on a cassock, dressed as "Mr. Feng Shui" and wandered around the rivers and lakes. In Huiji, there was a very famous man named Wang Mian, who lived in Shaoxing and Zhuji, Zhejiang today. Wang Mian was born in poverty, herded cattle during the day, stayed in a temple at night and studied under the ever-burning lamp. He is familiar with the art of war, and he paints with great style. Everyone in the countryside says he is a great man.
When Liu Bowen talked with Wang Mian, he felt that he was knowledgeable and ambitious. However, farmland is not easy, and Wang Mian always seems to lack something. One day, Liu Bowen invited Wang Mian to take a walk in the bamboo forest. I don't know who set off a firecracker outside the bamboo forest. Wang Mian suddenly heard a loud bang, and he was at a loss, so he got a fright. Liu Bowen beside see Wang Mian body a slight quiver, and then a sigh. Wang Mian asked him why he sighed, but he refused to say anything.
The next day, just as the sky was a fish-belly grey, Liu Bowen left Huiji. His conclusion to Wang Mian is: "You don't have enough courage."
Liu Bowen went to Haichang again, which is today's Haining area in Zhejiang. There is a Jia Ming who is also a famous figure. His men gathered a group of people, educated and armed, but a little farmland.
Jiaming has built a new house, and the hall has just been painted, with a strong smell. Liu Bowen was invited into the hall and vomited as soon as he sat down. Jia Ming saw it and was very angry. He left and went back to the kitchen without saying any polite words. Soon, a group of family members came out. They were busy flushing and washing, and no one paid attention to this guest from afar.
Liu Bowen frowned, shook his head and left. His conclusion to Jia Ming is: "The amount is too small."
Liu Bowen couldn't find talents in Jiangnan, so he crossed the Yangtze River all the way north to Haozhou, which is today's Fengyang area in Anhui. At first glance, this place is very different from the south. Pedestrians walking on the road are very kind and full of energy. They are very generous to others. On one occasion, Liu Bowen deliberately went to a meat stall to buy meat, and bargained with the meat seller, so he cut off a piece of meat and changed his head. Without saying anything, the butcher cut a big piece, threw it on the anvil and said, "Here!" " "If you don't ask for more money, you will meet another customer.
Liu Bowen, I thought to myself: People in this place are really courageous. Liu Bei, who has made great achievements, must be here. So, I visited there carefully and finally found Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang got Liu Bowen like a tiger with wings; And Liu Bowen found Zhu Yuanzhang as a refuge, also like a phoenix perched on a phoenix tree branch. Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Bowen and Qi Xin worked together to finally overthrow the rule of the Yuan Dynasty and establish a new Zhu Ming Dynasty.
