Blade of Wind

The place where they talked was in the main hall of Li's house.

Since Ah Tian helped me develop my spiritual power, although I haven't deliberately done much practice, I still feel that my hearing and vision are much better than ordinary people.Just like the last time Aao and Xiu Huang could be heard talking in the corridor, this time it was the same, they could almost be heard talking in the yard.

So I didn't go any further, I just pretended to be walking in the yard, concentrating on listening to the discussion in the main hall.

In the main hall besides the patriarch, there were four or five men who were chattering at this moment.

"The weather is right now, so much farm work can't be done, so what's the point of calling us to repair the embankment?"

"That's right, the water has receded, and I don't know when the next rainy season will come. If the crops in the field are not taken care of, what will happen to this year's harvest?"

"Only relying on women and children, how can we be so busy? Everyone managed to save a life from the flood. If this continues, won't we starve to death?"

"Building embankments during the day and doing farm work at night...I can't take it with my iron body."

"Master Patriarch, please go and ask the officials who repaired the river to spare us these two months of hard labor? At worst, we will work twice as hard after the wheat is harvested..."

"Stop talking nonsense. When it snows in winter and it's freezing, how can we build a river?"

"But if we don't care about the farm work at home, and just build the river and pay that little wages, we don't know if we can live until winter."

"Besides, the group of people from above said they came from the palace. They don't understand anything, they just boss around and drink around. I don't know when the river will be repaired. It can't just be wasted forever, can it?"

"I don't think the patriarch can do anything, and those people won't listen to her."

"It's better not to go."

"After working so hard and dying, the whole family still starved to death, and even built a ghost embankment!"

"Don't be impulsive." Hearing what they said, the patriarch became more and more excited, and quickly dissuaded him, "Think better. Harnessing the river is a great cause for thousands of years, and it will benefit future generations. We have worked hard this year, and the next rainy season will be the next one." You don’t have to worry about the rainy season. Otherwise, what will you do if there is another flood?”

"Besides, you quit on impulse today. If the higher-ups blame you, won't you also implicate the whole family? There is no difficulty in this world. Look at that kind of flood, didn't we survive it? Let alone now The new king is different from the previous king, there will always be a way."

Hearing what the patriarch said, I couldn't help but smiled wryly.

I'm really sorry, if I had a way, I wouldn't have made it like this.

Maybe it was because we were worried that we were here, the patriarch said a few words of comfort, and then sent those people back first, asking everyone to stay calm and make a long-term plan.

I figured they were going to come out, so I hurried around to the other side of the yard, but I ran into Li Guang.

He was holding a bunch of hay in his hands as if he was going to feed the horses, but when he saw me, he smiled and said, "Look, the men here are really just conscripted to build the river."

...It turned out that he was also eavesdropping.

I couldn't help being startled, and gave him a blank look, "I thought you were really going to feed the horses."

Li Guang laughed, gave me the hay in his hand, and said, "I can't eavesdrop when I stand so far away like Xiaojie. If I'm found out, I have to have an excuse."

"Don't say it so easily, what you just heard is the internal meeting of our Fangguo government agency." I said with a straight face, "Your behavior has constituted the crime of espionage. I reserve the right to pursue it at any time."

"Oh, it's really scary." Li Guang pulled me to the stall where the horses were tied, and asked, "What is the crime of espionage?"

I sneered, "You don't even know what the crime of espionage is, so what's there to be afraid of?"

"From your expression, you can probably guess that it is a very serious crime."

I was explaining to Li Guang that the patriarch and those men had already walked out of the main hall.

The patriarch greeted us with a smile, while the men eyed us warily and distrustfully.

If the group of people who came out of the palace were indeed as domineering as they said, it would be understandable for them to be wary of outsiders.

So I just smiled and went to feed the horses with Li Guang.

When walking back, he said softly: "Li Guang, do you mind staying here for two more days?"

Li Guang looked sideways at me and asked, "What do you want to do?"

"I want to work for a few days on the construction site of the river."

Li Guang didn't ask the reason, just looked at me quietly for a while, then nodded, and said, "Okay, I'll go with you."

When I returned to the room, I saw that Ao had got off the bed and was sitting at the table writing something, looking very serious.He didn't realize until I walked behind him, and hurriedly covered the things in his hand.

I didn't pay much attention at first, but he covered it with his hands, which made me curious and leaned over to look, "What? Are you writing a love letter?"

He calmed down and raised his eyes to look at me. Although there was a blush on his face, his voice was very calm, "If what I wrote is really a love letter, would you dare to read it?"

I was choked directly, wishing to bite my tongue off.

——I really need to correct my problem of speaking without thinking.

Ah Ao didn't pay attention to my expression any more, and handed me the notebook in his hand to read.

Ah Ao's handwriting is already beautiful, even if you change the brush, it's not like me, it's like a ghost drawing.It's nice to be able to recognize what it is.

But what he wrote, probably, is really not easy for others to see.They are all summaries of reforms in ancient and modern China and foreign countries, important political moves and the like.

I looked over and couldn't help frowning.

"When I talked about the Green Sprouts Method last time, I was thinking, while I still remember, let's write it all down. Whether it's useful or not, it's good as a reference." Ao explained.

"Actually... there's no need to work so hard..."

When I said this, Ah Ao slightly lowered his eyes, and said, "I know it's a bit stupid, but... I can't think of what I can do..."

"No, that's not what I meant." Seeing that he was a little frustrated, I quickly waved my hand and said, "I mean, you don't have to memorize it so hard by yourself. In this world, Qilin can use cheating tools."

Ao frowned, "What cheating device?"

We were talking in the room, but Li Guang, who was very sensible, didn't follow.But at this time, he probably heard a word he didn't understand, so he stopped at the door instead, tilting his head slightly and looking at us with interest.

"It's Ming Xi." I didn't want to avoid Li Guang, and went straight on. "What about you, fly to a place where there is no one on the virtual sea, and go there with a Ming eclipse, and then just touch a few copies of "24 History", "Zi Zhi Tong Jian", "42 Chapter Classics" and come back. Writing one by one by yourself is so hard?"

Ah Ao was stunned for a moment, but Li Guang laughed. He hesitated for a while after laughing, and then said: "There is something... I think it's better to remind you."

I looked back at him and asked, "What?"

Li Guangdao: "Actually, over the years, you are not the first to want to introduce the policies there."

I frowned: "Did the others...fail?"

Li Guang didn't directly say yes or no, but said: "Some reforms seem to be very good, but...the foundation of the country here is actually different from that of the other side, and the specific situation cannot be generalized. ...On the contrary, it is very likely to backfire. There are not no kings who lost their way because of this."

Also, if there is success, the Twelve Kingdoms will not be several generations behind Penglai.

I shrugged and returned the notebook in my hand to Ao, "It's okay, we just need to pay more attention."

Ah Ao didn't say anything, but his mood was visibly depressed. He took the notebook, but silently put it away without continuing to write.

My heart throbbed inexplicably, but I didn't know what to say, so I could only laugh twice in the end.

The author has something to say: Yo~

Everyone has been waiting for a long time~
