I thought it was just the past and the present

105

The rapid development in the territory is actually thanks to the aristocratic families and sects in this world. Their rule allows ordinary people to look around and only see their own village. The language has long been unified, and there is no written language at all, let alone the concept of nation and country. Even the concept of region is very weak, so there will be no sense of hostility towards "invaders" or "colonists".

Therefore, they adapted quickly to changing rulers.It doesn't matter whether the Xiao family is finished, the unknown monk who appeared later, or Xiao Qi who came out now.They are lazy, full of complaints, and refuse to cooperate in various ways, but in fact, no one has made any real resistance.

Facing the bean soldiers and the stewards, they are all good citizens.

Xiao Qi hates their laziness, but actually he hates their obedience even more.

Even if someone stood up and threw a stone? !Xiao Qi would be so happy that he would pull his pillow and dance the bear dance!Mortals have been domesticated so successfully that they are completely bloodless.

With the establishment of each house, the mortals in the territory were clearly informed that the activists in each group were the first to move into the new home.Now the enthusiasm for labor has completely exploded. Now men, women, and children live separately. Although there are rotations every once in a while and a couple's hotel, how can it compare to my own home.

Everyone works hard every day and is exhausted to death. Who has the energy to mutter and curse all day long?

The monks who have been observing the Yuan Xiao family's land have been watching helplessly, watching these mortals go from being raised to decadent, dispirited, walking staggeringly like in a dream.Up to now, the brilliance in the eyes is shining, the spirit is uplifting, and the walking is firm and powerful.

Xiao Qi is dissatisfied, he is planning to conduct military training this winter, but first he has to train the manpower to lead the military training, the problem is that he is managing everywhere now, how can he recruit manpower?

Mu Zhen persuaded him: "Your Majesty, let the teenagers do military training first. Let the adults go for now."

Xiao Qi sighed: "That's the only way."

The manpower for training young people can still be spared. Xiao Qi was preparing these manpower when a monk came to him and asked him: "What's the use of you now? What we want is for them to read our Alright, give us merit!"

The monks treat mortals just like the managers of chicken farms treat their own chickens, they only care about whether the chickens can lay eggs.If abusing one's own chickens every day can make them lay eggs faster, the manager will definitely do so.The same is true for the monks. They don't care about the standard of living and spiritual outlook of mortals. The most important thing is to gain the belief of mortals and let them send them to become immortals.

Xiao Qi was disappointed with these immortals again and again, and gradually got used to it.

This is how the practitioners of the righteous way in the great world look like. Even if the heavenly way does not cause a catastrophe, the righteous way will not prosper for long.Xiao Qi is not a monk, and he can see that these people are already stunned.With these people who have no sympathy and sense of responsibility for the same kind, still want to understand the way of heaven?Feel the magic way.

"It's time for the summer solstice, and you'll know when the time comes."

The mortals at the two urban construction bases have long known that the summer solstice is a day of worship, and from this day onwards, they will rest for three consecutive days.At that time, the people in charge will organize the sacrifice on the first day, and the common people can also prepare separate sacrifices, and worship at home or in temples.

"Bah! Pull me to work, and let me go to worship him?! I won't go! What kind of sacrifices are you going to prepare for him? They are so beautiful!" Someone threw a basin in the collective dormitory that was upgraded to a straw hut smash the bowl.

Some people agreed, feeling that these monks were too shameless.

But some people objected: "We have been dragged to work, but life is much better now than before, right? Eat and drink well, have new clothes and new shoes to wear, and the new house will soon be able to live in." gone."

"Isn't that what we got for working?!"

"We work, and people give things. Isn't that what we should do? Otherwise, what do you think? Give it for nothing?"

"Why can't they give things that their immortals can do with just a few clicks of their fingers? Didn't those immortals just give it to us for nothing?"

"It's really raising people and raising hatred. Forget it, we can't talk together." The opponents shook their heads. Those who still miss those days are proper lazy people.Is it really a good thing for the immortals to give in vain before?Everyone is lazy, the house is dilapidated, the clothes are dirty and not washed, and they are all unkempt and unkempt on the kang, waiting for the immortals to bring spiritual fruits or food.

But their spiritual fruits and food are not as delicious as the food these immortals teach them to make themselves.The only advantage is that it is "free", but thinking about the past now, people with a little brain feel shuddering - at that time, they really became useless people!I live day by day, but my head is a mess, and I don't know how the days pass.

In contrast, even though he works every day, he is living a serious life with hope.Regardless of whether they are men, women, old or young, their faces are full of red light...

Thinking about the sacrificial offerings, many ordinary people thought in their hearts: It is time to thank the immortals today. The immortals are really doing it for our own good and allowing us to live a truly good life.

The place of worship for the common people is divided according to the area. Everyone only needs to pay homage to the Earth Temple on a certain street and the Town God's Temple on a certain road.

——The function of the land at this stage is basically equivalent to that of the captain of the production team in the 70s and [-]s of the last world, taking care of all kinds of people's livelihood affairs.Chenghuang is the director of the local police station.

The function of the city god has not yet been revealed, because the captain of the production team, no, the small official (commonly known as the steward) assigned by the land is currently very tight in all aspects, and the accident is just a simple dispute in the verbal dispute, and no real crime has been committed. of.

There will be a Temple of Medicine in the future, which is the Health Bureau.Wenshen Temple is in charge of education.And a large number of various departments have been established in the name of temples and in the practice of management.

After the common people enter, no matter whether it is the Earth Temple or the Town God's Temple, what is enshrined is not a portrait, but a tablet with a certain street or a certain road written on it.

The monks could clearly see that, except for a very small amount of golden merit attributed to specific people or immortal officials, the rest of the large amount of merit first flew to the tablet, and then passed into... Xiao Qi's hands?

Xiao Qi was sitting in the yard of his own yamen, holding the jade seal openly - what other people saw was just a bigger seal than Liu Xing and the others. Qichang".

But Xiao Qi didn't take all these merits into his own. Although he didn't know how he did it, but after a certain amount of merit was collected in the seal in his hand, a golden arrow shot out and fell into those bean soldiers Immortal officials, ordinary people in charge, and even some leaders in charge.The process of collecting and giving back is not complete until the end of the three-day sacrificial holiday.

Xiao Qi, who had been in the courtyard for three days, stood up, raised his head and said to the sky: "You immortals, you can ask for anything from mortals, so that no matter whether they are smart or stupid, hardworking, lazy, kind or vicious, they can all get the same rewards and benefits." , this will not make mortals appreciate you, it will only make the lazy even lazier, and the hardworking will completely lose the motivation to work hard. If you want mortals to praise you, then you must establish goals and directions, and then become their goals and directions This is how I became a fairy, I have confessed everything in front of you, as for the choice or not, that is your opinion."

"Of course, if you don't understand some of my actions, you can come down and discuss them together."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Qi went back to the house.But until late at night the next day, no one came to ask Xiao Qi what to do. According to Yuxi's feedback, only Mao Qian was left on top of his head this time.

For several days in a row, Xiao Qi's mood was obviously depressed.Seeing him like this, Mu Zhen knew that he had no expectations for the immortals, but he was still hurt by the reactions of those immortals, right?

"His Majesty……"

"Ok?"

"You are Your Majesty, why don't you choose to rule the world, and then repaint the world according to your wishes?" strong.

"Hey? Don't you know? But when I was in ancient times, I didn't occupy America." Xiao Qi, who was about to fall asleep in a daze, immediately regained his energy.

"In ancient times, the Americas were not occupied. Wasn't that because of communication and transportation problems? Now that His Majesty is in the big world, he has taken the initiative to stand at the front desk, using himself as a teaching material, and teaching these monks how to govern the people. The monks are not stupid. It's just that I didn't think in that direction. With His Majesty leading the way, even if these monks are not as good as His Majesty, the raw resources they have mastered are far stronger than His Majesty, and they will soon establish their own civilian power. Your Majesty, this is not for you. Make yourself an enemy?"

"I just want to make enemies." Xiao Qi touched Mu Zhen's face, "I know that I still have another choice - to develop silently, gradually annex small forces, become a big force, and then swallow the surrounding world Cannibalization. The existence of Fengxianbang, if I want to do this, the chance of success is very high. But I have thought about it for a long time, unification is not good for this world. Big pillow, now our power can develop benignly, it is all because of me And you two outsiders. We laid the track in advance, and then pushed this car on it. Think about it, if there is no us, how will a completely unified world develop in the future?"

"It's nothing more than their turn to set the rails. They... Your Majesty is spreading risks? I hope that the future will be a multi-polar world, and all forces will serve as examples and references for each other."

"Yes. What I am most worried about is that the immortals in this world will repeat the same mistakes after going around in a circle. Immortals want merit, in fact, just like some modern politicians want votes. The best way to please voters is Improve welfare, but the state's finances are limited. The leaders in the front have raised the welfare from generation to generation, and the people have regarded it as a habit. Once the country's economic situation fluctuates, the leaders behind will take over a very headache. It’s a mess. So either the country’s finances will collapse, or it will try frantically on the brink of collapse, or try to transfer internal conflicts to the outside.”

Xiao Qi is a stable faction. If his experience of making reforms in ancient times was written into a book, it would definitely be a hit on the street when readers scolded "the pace is too slow!"He only made some head-scratching decisions in the early stages, and the subsequent steps are all trembling.All major decisions are made among a small number of people, in the special zone, and after repeated tests, they are fully rolled out across the country.

Because the history of the development of countries in the world that he has seen in modern times is the best teacher - or the kind of teacher who likes to use frustration education the most.There are not a few countries that were prosperous and powerful decades ago, but are now impoverished and ignorant, with frequent wars.It is not just one or two actions that were cheered and praised by the crowd decades ago, but now they are scolded and cursed.There are not a few former national heroes who are now regarded as sinners.

As a person, it is personal freedom to choose a lifestyle, and the final result should also be borne by him personally.But the choice of a country's path determines the fate of countless people, many of whom may not have been born at the time, and are truly innocent bearers.

"This big world is worthy of being called a big world. Its area is too large, and there are terrifying variables such as aura. Even Changsheng has things that he can't do, and I never think that I will always be wise and correct." Saint. I'm just an ordinary ruler. All I can do is to choose the one with the least loss or the biggest gain among as many paths as possible. Then, I will turn around and check for my own choices. fill a vacancy."

"So, my choice this time is to give the mortals in this world more choices in the future. When countless sects and families in this world are launching changes together, even if the road I have laid out now The road will go crooked or come to an end, but there will always be a correct road paved by others, right?"

"Your Majesty!" Mu Zhen's voice became louder.

"Ah?" Xiao Qi was immersed in his own thoughts, and was suddenly taken aback.

"You are the fattest!" His Majesty is a Mingjun, and he is also a Mingjun who does not care about dominating the world or ruling the world. What he always thinks about in his head is how to let the present and future people be able to Have the best time.The only selfishness in his life...may be a pillow—(*/ω＼*) Thinking of this, Mu Zhen was a little excited!

"Hmm!! Of course!"

The two look at each other!Look at each other... _(:з」∠)_Go to sleep, you are all children, what else can you do?

The two breathed out and slept together, but when they opened their eyes, they would feel no pity, this is... back to modern times.

Mu Zhen's after-traveling symptoms still exist this time. Compared with the first time, the soreness is obviously reduced, but he still can't move.Xiao Qi's massage skills are very good now, he even twisted a hot towel to wipe Mu Zhen's body.

After a busy day, the two of them lay back on the bed side by side again. After all, it was only past one o'clock in the morning.

"The current time travel... It seems that there are no triggering conditions. It is probably arranged by Changsheng. Are you afraid?" Xiao Qi asked. Need to care so much.As for whether Changsheng is deceiving him... Even if he is a liar, Xiao Qi can't help it.

After all, Changsheng can be an existence that allows him to travel between the three worlds, and what Xiao Qi is doing now also fills him with a sense of personal satisfaction.

But Mu Zhen obviously bought one and got one free for Changsheng. Either Changsheng was worried that Xiao Qi would not work hard in the big world, or he was worried that Xiao Qi would be separated from Mu Zhen in the big world for a long time, and his work ability would decline. On the other side of the world, it will take 500 years to seal the Immortals, and the Immortal World and the Underworld are both under construction, which is also a big project.

If Mu Zhen is unwilling to jump left and right, Xiao Qi thinks that he should be able to bargain with Chang Sheng.

"Of course I'm not afraid." Mu Zhen's tone was weak, "It's just that I stayed there for a long time. This time I came back and felt that the gap between the two worlds is too big. And... the big world, because of age, I can't It’s all just to have a good time with you. After arriving here, the body is old enough, but I found that I was too happy before, and I can’t continue to be happy, which makes people very unhappy.”

"..." Xiao Qi was sure that his pillow was really unhappy, and he could say such awkward words.

"And I just remembered that you're going to film tomorrow, and I'm going to participate in a variety show to promote the movie tomorrow!" Mu Zhen turned over and buried his head in the pillow, he was really irritable!

Xiao Qi: My big pillow is... Is X dissatisfied?He is obviously a good young man who loves work, but now he is full of resistance to work, what a sin...

Xiao Qi's face is covered with blood... How can his pillows be so cute!My heart really melts into water.

He rushed over and kissed Mu Zhen's earlobe: "In fact, we both have this problem. I really don't have a drop of me in this world. Even if you can do it now, I can't do it."

Mu Zhen, who was still depressed just now, burst out laughing: "Your Majesty... without you being so self-deprecating, not even a single drop, what's the point?"

"It means not even a single drop." Xiao Qi kissed his smiling lips again, "Pillow, let me raise it for a few days. Only by recharging your energy can you have a higher quality married life."

"Okay, I promise you to take good care of it." Mu Zhen raised his head and pressed his forehead against Xiao Qi's. The two pushed back and forth, occasionally rubbing their noses, like two wild beasts playing intimately...

After such a tumultuous period, the two became more and more energetic, and later they were both hungry. Xiao Qi got up and cooked instant noodles with eggs, meat and vegetables—there were other ingredients at home, but when he entered the kitchen and saw instant noodles, Xiao Qi Suddenly I want honey juice!

So the two ate it. Instant noodles are also magical.

After eating, the two wrapped themselves in a blanket, nestled on the sofa in the living room, and watched sand sculpture TV series.

"How can you say that, don't we also shoot these ourselves?"

"That's why I'm the only one who doesn't sand sculpture!" Xiao Qi said triumphantly.

When I got tired of watching TV dramas, I played games. The two spent the second half of the night happily, and also regained a sense of modern life.At dawn, the assistants came, no matter how reluctant Xiao Qi and Mu Zhen were, they could only say goodbye to each other.

"Be careful on set." There are many things in the big world, and they are all big things, but they are all obvious. In the modern world, although they are small things in comparison, there are too many dangers hidden in the shadows.Lu Xiaomeng with unknown friends and enemies, the reborn person with unknown identity, even Jiang Ming, the protagonist of the original world, and Su Qu, who frequently made cheeky tricks, were all troublesome.

However, two of the four people are definitely concentrated in the production team of Qingluojian. It is also very possible that the unknown reborn person is also in the production team of Qingluojian. official announcement.

"Well, contact me every night. If something happens, you have to come and rescue me immediately."

"Of course!"

"Cough!" Zhou Qian and Sun Xiaoxiao who were in the background both coughed, looked at each other and smiled, and finally separated.

The filming of "Sword of the Blue Luo" restarted... a different film and television studio was changed.

→_→Director Liu was really scared, and because the actors changed by one-third, many scenes shot before had no choice but to be cancelled.

As for why the troubled Qingluo Sword still has investment?On the one hand, although there are many actors who have left, the male lead and the third male are definitely not changed, which is barely stable.On the other hand, this matter requires reverse thinking, because of the many disasters, so the attention of Qing Luojian is very high.Although Xiao Qi came out of the closet...but Qingluo Sword itself is a drama, so Xiao Qi's identity is actually a bonus?

"Hey? Didn't Su Qu say he was leaving?" Xiao Qi was reading the script on the road while listening to Zhou Qian tell him about the crew's situation during this time. And all kinds of hype?"

After the snow disaster, Xiao Qi made it public with Mu Zhen, and they were all ready to quit the circle. Of course, they would not follow the news about Qingluojian, but they still knew about the more popular related news.Su Qu's public relations team was quite lively before. According to their urgency all the time, Su Qu should be about to say goodbye to Qing Luojian. .

"I was going to tell you about this matter in detail. At the beginning, Qing Luojian's efforts to persuade him to stay were unsuccessful. The contract had already been confirmed to be terminated, but suddenly Su Qu changed his mind again. With Su Qu's performance all the time, he will definitely not be There is nothing to ask for. So this time I will join the team with you, and I will respond as soon as possible if there is anything."

Zhou Qian thought it over and over again, if Su Qu wanted to make a fool of himself, he would definitely turn towards Xiao.Although they had the upper hand in their previous responses, it's better not to be careless.

"Trouble brother Zhou." Xiao Qi nodded to Zhou Qian.

"Should be."

In addition to Su Qu, Lu Xiaomeng also joined the group again, but this time she changed her role and played the role of the junior sister of the second male, Ming Yushang.

In Xianxia dramas, there is always a little junior sister, either the heroine, or Bai Yueguang, or a god assist.The little junior sister in Qingluo Sword is God's assist. Although she has a crush on Ming Yushang, she is still a fool, but she is very self-aware, not coquettish and self-willed, she trusts Ming Yushang, and even found out that Qi Qingluo is a nice guy.

The author has something to say: Su Qu will be completely resolved tomorrow~~~
