Rebirth of Buddhism

"Once the river is connected, it is a big project that benefits the country and the people. First, it is for business, second, it is for flood control, third, it is for diversion to irrigate the surrounding fields, and fourth, this river course is also a business. Digging ponds by the river can be used to raise water. Fish, you can grow water chestnuts." Fu Zhiyu led Xi Danwang, and sighed while watching, "It is not easy to dig to this level within a few years."

King Xidan also watched seriously from the sidelines, touching here and there from time to time, not to mention other things, the irrigation problem on the grassland is indeed a problem that he has been worrying about for a long time, if the canal can be built, it will be a good thing.

The canal is very long, and it will take at least three or four days for Fu Zhiyu and his party to travel this way. This is just a rough look at the route. If you look closely, it may take longer.

"It will be very different after you get through it," Fu Zhiyu said. "You can also plant willows by the river. When you watch it, it will be a scene."

A few days ago, he saw that it was quite good, and King Xidan also saw that the plan was almost drawn out. He had a general idea of ​​where the canal would go and how many cities it would pass along the way.

But at the end, they saw someone they hadn't seen in a long time.

Four years ago, after Xie Ke was discovered by him, he really honestly never came to Jiangnan again. Anyway, Fu Zhiyu never encountered any strange things again, so it was assumed that he never came again.

This time, it should also be a coincidence?

When he saw Xie Ke, Fu Zhiyu was standing on the side of the road. After all, the canal hadn’t been opened yet, and the last section was still being dug. He also ordered some to eat by himself, although it was not delicate, but it had the flavor of farm food, but the food here was rather spicy, Fu Zhiyu was so spicy that he couldn't eat it after a few mouthfuls, and even drank several sips of water.

"If you can't eat spicy food, don't eat it. Do you still have the time to experience this?" King Xidan glanced at him, and then pointed to him not far away, "Then there is another person who is as strange as you, look look."

Hearing this, Fu Zhiyu took a look in the direction he was pointing at, and saw Xie Ke at this moment.

There were also some soldiers who were digging the river. They not only had to work, but also to maintain order. Xie Ke was sitting among the group of people, dressed very plainly. Fu Zhiyu didn't pay attention to it, and didn't even know that he was there, that is, King Xidan. He has sharp eyes and loves to watch other people's excitement, otherwise no one will be able to see him.

He is like an ordinary soldier, eating and living with other people, and he does not feel wronged by eating steamed buns with his head down.

As if feeling Fu Zhiyu's gaze, Xie Ke looked over quickly. He seemed to be stunned for a while, then stood up, walked towards Fu Zhiyu, and trotted all the way behind.

King Xidan felt that he had finished his business and now it was time to watch a play, so he quickly stood aside.

When Xie Ke came this way, he took advantage of the time on the road to tidy up a little bit, but he was driving the river road worker, his body was covered in dust, and he couldn't clean up in such a short time.

Fu Zhiyu doesn’t eat spicy food very much. The river worker’s food doesn’t look spicy, and it’s okay when he eats it, but it has a lot of stamina. The longer the time, the hotter he feels. His throat is burning. Too much, and coughed twice from time to time, and looked a little embarrassed.

It was really embarrassing for these two people to meet under such circumstances. Xie Ke even ran to him, not knowing what to say.

"I..." Xie Ke was silent for a while, and because he missed him, he couldn't help looking at him, but he didn't dare to look at him, and finally he could only say, "I didn't expect that you would come here, I'm sorry, I don't know , did not make any preparations."

Fu Zhiyu looked at him: "What are you going to do to prepare?"

"Zhiyu, don't you want to see me?" Xie Ke said nervously, and couldn't help explaining, "I don't usually come here, but the construction period is approaching, and someone must be watching. I came by myself, and I didn't expect you to come."

Fu Zhiyu: "..."

"I'm not too much," he said, "You can go anywhere, I don't care about that, today is just a coincidence, why do you feel like you saw a scourge?"

After Fu Zhiyu said this, he was silent for a while, and then said: "I know that most of the repairs are done by you, and you should keep an eye on it."

He also knew very well that it was indeed Xie Ke who did all of this.

Hearing what he said, Xie Ke finally breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that he had been so busy during this period of time, and all that he had paid was a result.

"When this river is connected, you don't have to worry anymore," Xie Ke whispered to him, "The thing you miss will really never happen again."

Fu Zhiyu glanced at him, and happened to see the flattering and cautious look in his eyes.

He thought that Xie Ke probably knew what his original intention of building this canal was, after all he was one of the few people who knew.

"Will you come to see the river when it gets through?" Xie Ke mustered up the courage to ask him again, "...it's not my work in vain."

He waited anxiously for Fu Zhiyu's reply, then stared at him closely.

Fu Zhiyu thought for a while, then nodded, and said, "Okay."

He wanted to witness all of this, and it didn't matter if Xie Ke was there or not.

The two of them didn't talk any more, they passed by side by side, but King Xi Dan smacked his mouth, and didn't taste anything.

"Look at it," he looked at Xie Ke's back, and said to Fu Zhiyu with emotion, "He will do this in front of you."

Fu Zhiyu didn't answer.

King Xi Dan saw that he obviously didn't want to speak, so he shut up very tactfully.

But Fu Zhiyu obviously felt his probing gaze, which became more and more intense, and he couldn't stand it after a long time, and said, "Don't look, just say what you want."

"I'm not even curious about what happened to you, but I really want to ask, what is the result you are looking for with such wasted work?" King Xi Dan asked him, "Look, Xie Ke is not married, and neither are you. If you don't get married, the two of you actually don't like others, so you just make do with it, why bother."

"Who says one has to get married? I'm good alone," Fu Zhiyu retorted, "Besides, everything is not for the sake of a result. Most of the time, we can't tell each other clearly, so then How about this."

Take his own mother as an example, in fact, he has known Lin Yan's thoughts for a long time.

Mother should also know that Lin Yan runs to the mansion every day for trivial matters, and when he meets mother occasionally, he doesn't know where to put his hands and feet, and he stutters when he speaks, a fool should have noticed it.

Fu Zhiyu doesn't care, he completely depends on his mother's choice. Although my mother has the title of concubine, how many years have passed since Emperor Qingyuan died? If my mother really wants to, there are many ways to operate. The problem is , Mother doesn't want to.

She was already very tired of this kind of relationship, and she just felt tired and troubled by Lin Yan's overtures.

Yuan Wanyun's mood is very similar to Fu Zhiyu's. This mood can't be explained to others, probably only he knows it.

On the day when the river was connected, Fu Zhiyu went to see it as agreed, and also met Xie Ke.

But he always felt that Xie Ke looked much more haggard than before. The last time he saw him, he didn't notice when he was disheveled. Today he put on formal clothes, and the tiredness between his brows and eyes couldn't be concealed.

He also took the initiative to explain to Fu Zhiyu: "There were too many things when the river was opened, and I didn't sleep for a few days."

But he doesn't look like he hasn't had a good rest.

Fu Zhiyu glanced at him, but found that his temples already had white hair. The two of them were not standing close together, but he could still see clearly.

At Xie Ke's age, long gray hair is nothing. Most important officials in the court have young gray hair. They are stressed and busy, but Xie Ke is not an ordinary person.

He is not from this world, logically speaking, this world will not let him grow old.

Fu Zhiyu's abnormal data has not changed in the past few years, even the mother and Yuan family who took his pills have not changed, but Xie Ke has changed.

...don't know what he did.

Fu Zhiyu lowered his eyes, and then realized that none of this had anything to do with him.

This summer, it really rained heavily, but the repaired dams and canals played a big role. The catastrophic flood did not happen, but because of the heavy rain, several villages in low-lying areas were still affected by disasters, and there were also disaster-affected grains. However, the imperial court was strong in disaster relief, and the relief money and relief food arrived soon, and nothing happened in the end.

Fu Zhiyu's nightmare never happened again, and since then, he felt as if he had been opened up, and he felt much more at ease.

Five years later, the Deng family's boat was finally built.

Fu Zhiyu also went when he got into the water, and this time he saw Deng Jinghe again. He was tanned a lot, and he still stared at Fu Zhiyu for a long time, but this time, he came up to talk to him.

"Thank you," he said, "Next year, I plan to take the caravan to sea. This ship is really good. I'm sorry for the previous things. Now that I think about it, I was really too narrow-minded at that time, hurting others and myself. The things brought by conspiracy and tricks are actually meaningless."

To go to sea is to leave this continent to see the outside world. The risk is extremely high. Even Fu Zhiyu doesn’t know what is beyond this continent. The original book only writes a sentence at the end, saying that it was sent out The fleet has news, and there are other continents besides the mainland, and the road ahead is still farther away. This is a blank wording. I didn't expect that someone would actually try it now.

"I still liked you, I looked at you that way, I thought about it for so many years," Deng Jinghe said, and he smiled, "But Xie Ke appeared, I knew I couldn't compete with him, and it was over, but I didn't expect , he didn’t succeed either, thinking about it this way, I’m quite psychologically balanced.”

Fu Zhiyu: "..."

Before he had time to answer, Deng Jinghe left after finishing speaking, and jumped onto the deck in a few steps. He used to be a little gloomy, but now he seems to be a different person.

Fu Zhiyu stood on the pier for a while, thinking about something, and finally left after a long time.

The four major merchants have all changed, and even the status of the merchants has changed. In recent years, doing business is not so shameful outside, and everywhere has sprung up like bamboo shoots.

On this basis, many schools can also be opened. After all, only when everyone is full can they have spare energy to do other things.

The school that Fu Zhiyu wants to set up is comprehensive, and there are also students who study, and it doesn't matter if you learn a skill, and there are many choices in the future.

He has already found a group of teachers, and when the time comes, he will try it now in Jiangnan, and if he is good, he will write a booklet to Fu Yanran.
