"Go back early and don't miss the curfew. ”
At this time, the coachman drove the rattan cart to Yan Ji's side, and Yan Ji told Xu to ask, and turned around to get into the car.
Xu Wen subconsciously glanced at Lin Xie beside him.
Lin Xie didn't move, and he didn't mean to get into the car.
This means that Lin Xie wants to walk back to the Ziyi Mansion with them, and will not take Yan Ji's car?
Do you want to do the same on the road tomorrow?
It's a lot of money......
"The information of several of them will be sent to the public office tomorrow, and there will be no delay on the road. Qin Lianying said a few words to the middle-aged man and the eight-character nonsense, and turned to Yan Ji and said.
"Trouble as soon as possible, without this, we can't go. Yan Ji said.
"I saved. Qin Lianying nodded, glanced at Lin Xie deeply, but didn't say anything, just said to the person next to him, "Two adults, it's not early, let's go back and rest first." ”
“...... Well. The two of them were also looking at Lin Xie, and they were also a little hesitant, but they didn't say anything, and turned around to enter the Dragon God Temple.
"Wait a minute. Seeing that everyone was about to disperse, Xu Wen suddenly spoke up and stopped them.
"Lord Qin, please stay for a moment, I have a few words I want to say to you privately. Xu asked.
"Oh?" Qin Lianying stopped, raised his eyebrows and asked, "About Jingying Mansion?"
"Exactly. Xu Wen nodded.
"Hmm. Qin Lianying whispered a few words to the person next to him, nodded to Xu Wen, lifted the kerosene lamp, and walked out first.
Xu Wen hurriedly followed.
In fact, he originally just planned to "borrow one step to speak", and it was enough to take two steps out, but he didn't expect Qin Lianying's footsteps to stop, and he walked to the front of the archway, on the edge of Fenshui.
The night is quiet, so the sound of the Fen River running water is particularly loud, lapping the river bank in waves, with a reassuring rhythm.
Xu Wen stopped on the bank, and there was a pile of plaster at his feet, which was the residue left by the burning of the dragon god after the dragon god sacrifice, mixed with the rising river water, leaving only a few traces.
Qin Lianying obviously saw it as well, and realized what it was. He stared at the pile of debris for a while, and sneered, "Hey, Dragon God." ”
Then, he turned around and asked, "Do you know why the Fen River flooded every year, but why it has been rare in recent decades?"
Of course, it can't be because of the dragon god manifestation of the Dragon God Temple, thinking of Qin Lianying's identity and emotional background when he spoke, Xu Wen easily guessed: "Because of the governance, there is the participation of the Jingying Mansion?"
“...... It's not a bad thing to play dumb properly. Qin Lianying glared at him and said.
"Yes, we'll find out next time. "Xu asks from the good.
Obviously, he guessed right, and Qin Lianying's depression was also dispelled by Xu Wen's "incomprehensible style". He sighed and said, "You're right. The Fenshui flooded, causing hundreds of miles of damage and killing and injuring more than 10,000 people. The government and the opposition were shaken, and the ancestral emperor ordered the ministries to end the matter. The Ministry of Industry led the newly established Jingying Prefecture to take charge of governance.
"Jingying Fu built another canal south of Fenshui and dug Wufen Lake to regulate it. When digging the canal, there was a huge rock in the river, weighing more than 10,000 catties. There was an ordinary craftsman surnamed Li in Gyeongyeongfu, who used to be a stone farmer. He was good at the art of lifting weight, erecting a frame in sections, bulldozing and filling stones, digging out the boulder, and finally dragging it to the vicinity of Jincheng and setting it up as a city mark. ”
When he said this, he glanced up at Xu Wen and said, "You may still be able to see it when you go out of the city with the team tomorrow." ”
Xu Wen nodded immediately.
He was really interested, in this era, there are no cranes, no large-scale equipment, and ordinary craftsmen rely on their own hands, how to deal with that kind of natural giant/thing that exceeds the limit of manpower?
Be sure to remember to watch it when you pass by tomorrow.
It's also interesting to think about, the people built dragon temples and held ceremonies, wanting to use divine power to suppress the dragon god.
But it was the people themselves who were craftsmen who really suppressed the dragon god. And this, in turn, is subtly in line with this dragon temple and the monthly dragon god sacrifice.
"At that time, the Jingying Mansion was really a gathering of heroes from all over the world, known as 'nothing in the world cannot be controlled'. But the original Jingying Mansion did have such courage!" Qin Lianying said with emotion.
"At the beginning?" Xu Wen sensitively heard the key words.
"Nearly 100 years later, a lot of things have changed. Qin Lianying sighed.
"That's why there is a pavilion of inner things?" Xu Wen suddenly realized something.
“...... You are sharp. Qin Lianying said with some surprise.
"This lamp is also produced by the Inner Pavilion?" Xu Wen's gaze fell on the kerosene lamp that emitted an orange and yellow light.
"Yes. Qin Lianying said.
"The glass is beautiful. Xu asked.
"You have a good eye, did you listen to what your master said? Although Gu already has medicinal jade, it is extremely rare to be able to achieve such a crystal clear state. The Uchimonokaku introduced good recipes from overseas, and it was only after several reforms that it was able to be stably produced. Therefore, it is specifically named glass, which is separated from glass. Qin Lianying was a little surprised that Xu Wen would know this, and he also knew its current name, but after thinking about it, he made up the reason in his brain.
"In other words, this kind of glass can now be mass-produced?" Xu Wen heard him mention his master, and his heart moved, and he wanted to continue to ask, but after thinking about it, he decided to let it go first.
"The palace has been completely replaced with glass windows, and the capital will be able to open it next year, but it is estimated that it will take another two years to spread to Jiangnan. It may be an old friend, Qin Lianying answered almost everything.
"It's been fast...... Didn't you use it in the palace before?" asked Xu Wen with a little impression in his mind.
"Some of the halls can be used, the main hall can be used, most of them are imported products, far less than now. Qin Lianying said.
It was the same as he remembered...... Xu Wen nodded thoughtfully.
Jingying Mansion used to be very glorious, but now it is a little outdated for various reasons, and the birth of the Inner Pavilion will definitely not be less related to the struggle for power and profit, but in the final analysis, it is because Jingying Mansion is no longer suitable for the current development, and it just can't keep up.
So Yan Ji went to the Inner Pavilion, and judging from the content of the conversation between Di Lin and them before, Qin Lianying was intellectually inclined to the Inner Pavilion, but stayed because of some emotions or feelings.
He wanted Jingying Mansion to be better, but he obviously hated iron and steel, and this time the "competition" of the Dragon Temple also came.
The victory of the Ximo team was originally in his expectations, but in the end, the result really turned out to be like this, and Lao Qin was a little uneasy.
"Thank you, Lord Qin, for your answer, but I have one more question I would like to ask you. Xu asked.
"You say. Qin Lianying bowed slightly.
"I want to ask, if Lord Yan is not here today, or if there is no trustworthy person like him at all, how does Jingying Mansion deal with such a thing?" Xu Wen asked.
"Jingying Mansion is a collection of geniuses and heroes, and although people like the Divine Eye Hades are rare, they are not unique. Qin Lianying said.
"But after all, it's rare. What if there are no more of them one day, or is it that all such people have been collected by the Inner Pavilion?" Xu asked.
Qin Lianying looked at him and stopped talking, and after a while, he asked, "What other way do you have?"
"Three stooges, one for the race...... Wise man. I just think that betting on one person is not very reliable in short. ”
Xu Wen only remembered halfway through the speech that he remembered that there was no Zhuge Liang in this world, and he forcibly braked, and he couldn't care about rhyming. But that's what he really thinks. He didn't intend to tell the Jingying Mansion what to do, but he just felt that they seemed to be on the wrong side and wanted to remind them.
Qin Lianying was silent again.
After Xu Wen finished speaking, he saw that it was not early, said goodbye to Qin Lianying, and took the wooden box and prepared to leave.
At this time, there was only about half an hour before the curfew, and the Dragon Temple was fourteen or fifteen miles away from the Ziyi Mansion, and the time was still a little tight.
After only taking two steps, Xu Wen suddenly stopped, then turned around, and asked with some hesitation: "My master and they...... Is the itinerary the same as ours?"
"Hmm. Qin Lianying bowed slightly.
In an instant, an extremely bright smile bloomed on Xu Wen's face, saluted again, and then turned to leave. His steps were distinctly brisk, and he really looked like a young man at this time.
Qin Lianying didn't leave him, and when his back disappeared completely, he walked back with the oil lamp.
After taking two steps, he stopped again, stared at the spot of light cast by the oil lamp on the ground, and muttered, "Three stinkers...... Does it mean that with the power of many people, the things that can be done by one person can be divided?
