514 Sculptures

It has been three seasons since Xiao Lotian left the Ryukyus, two wars, and rumors of life and death have been tossed and turned several times, and the official documents waiting for him to deal with have become a mountain.

But no matter how busy Xiao Lotian is, he can't leave the people in the city today, because he knows that he has experienced so many people's feelings, and he urgently needs to go to their side to appease them.

Xiao Letian doesn't have to do anything, as long as he walks into the middle of the crowd, lets the people see him, hears his work, and even touches the corner of his clothes, people can feel great safety and are full of hope for the future.

It was the prime minister who led everyone to live a good life, and it was the prime minister's encouragement that allowed everyone to defeat the strong enemy, and now the prime minister has returned safely, back to everyone's side, so what are we worried about.

"Prime Minister, it's good to come back, let's not leave this time......"

"If you don't go, if you want to go, you're going to go around East Asia, and you won't go far......"

"That's good, that's good...... A gentleman does not erect a dangerous wall, you are our backbone..."

"Prime Minister, when will the new army be expanded, we will join the army...... I can't be beaten passively anymore, I'm really aggrieved..."

"Stinky boy wants to be a soldier? Have you learned the culture class well? If you kid dares to promise to know 2,000 Chinese characters, and can add, subtract, multiply and divide, I will escort you to the military academy ......."

......

Xiao Lotian walked through the crowd, answering people's questions, he was like a super terrifying emotion, as long as the neighborhood he passed, as long as the people he had comforted, he could sweep away the haze on his face, and the sun returned to them.

Behind Xiao Letian were members of the expeditionary officer corps, the civil and military ministers of the Shang Dynasty, and many more new army soldiers who were responsible for law and order.

Although everyone had a tired face, they would not disappoint the expectations of any of the people, and the procession passed through one street after another, even if the soles of their shoes wore through Xiao Letian, they hoped to comfort more people.

"Huh...... Isn't that the rice boss? our Naha's rice bag, our big housekeeper in the rice tank...... What are you hiding, don't forget that I saved your life......"

Xiao Letian saw Boss Mi dodging in the crowd at a glance, and when he greeted Boss Mi, he was so frightened that cold sweat flowed out of his face. He got out of the crowd, and he knelt on the ground, "I've seen the prime minister, kowtow to the prime minister......"

Xiao Lotian picked him up, "Mi Fu, you and I are old acquaintances, why bother?

Boss Mi's anxious tears were about to flow out, "I'm sorry Prime Minister, I can't take care of the new army's military rations, there was a rice riot before, and the old shopkeeper Fan calmed down, but then it was shelling, and it was the French soldiers who set fire...... Two-thirds of the rations were destroyed...... The price of grain in the Ryukyus is now more than double the usual ......"

"I'm ashamed, I'm not interested, I'm sorry for the prime minister, I'm sorry for the big guy...... Woo woo woo..."After saying that, Boss Mi covered his face and cried.

Xiao Lotian already knew the whole process of the rice riot on the boat, and he sighed and dragged the rotten rice boss up, "Don't say it, I already know it, this is a sin in the war, I don't blame you, I don't blame you..."

"Come, take me to the place where the trampling took place at that time, I heard that a mother was trampled to death while protecting her child?"

Boss Mi wiped the tears on his face with his sleeve, and took Xiao Letian to the steps of a street, "This is it, I was standing on the roof at that time, I saw the whole process, when the trampling happened, people panicked, I jumped on the roof and said that I would not be punished, so that everyone should not panic, but the words were slight, and the trampling still happened......"

"Unfortunately, in the end, we didn't find out who the dead mother and son were...... All I remember is that the woman and the child fell to the ground, surrounded by dark figures, and the mother hunched over and shoved the child into her arms, and she wanted to exchange her life for the child's life......"

"Woooooooooo......oo But there are too many people, and the mother and son didn't move after a while...... I didn't even cry until I died, and I didn't even ......," Boss Mi said this, covering his face with his hands, squatting on the ground and crying.

There was a dead silence around, and none of the people who had experienced the rice riot could stand at this moment, and they all knelt down as if the spirits of a mother and child were looking down in the sky.

A sense of grief and indignation rushed left and right in Xiao Letian's heart, this was a murder case where the murderer could not be found, and the poor mother and son died under people's greed, fear and selfishness.

"Where is Xiang Ying?" Xiao Letian suddenly asked in a low voice, Xiang Shaolong hurriedly turned around and searched the crowd, it was impossible for Xiang Ying not to come to such a big scene today, and after a while, Xiang Ying trotted all the way to Xiao Letian's side.

Xiao Letian looked at the young man in front of him with satisfaction, he never thought that in this Battle of the Ryukyus, the student soldiers would suddenly rise up in the whole battle, and they played a role no less than Cai Mao and Liang Kun.

It seems that talents still have to be cultivated by themselves, and the critical moment is to rely on the descendants to rush up, which is the real heart to think together, and use it together.

"You're doing a good job and you've lived up to my teachings...... I'll give you a task, go back and count the most decorated student soldiers, and make a list for me......"

"But I tell you in advance, I have no gold or silver treasures, and I can only give you more hard studies and more difficult tasks that I have given you...... And there's only one payoff..."

"You people, you can call me the principal in the future, and you have the privilege of seeing me and not worshiping... That's how I reward you......"

Xiang Ying's face turned red all of a sudden, and the surrounding soldiers and civilians were also stunned, where is there no reward, this is more valuable than any gold, silver and jewelry high-ranking officials in the world, this is the identity of the lineage is revealed...

"It's... Headmaster..."Xiang Ying's face was red and was about to drip blood.

Xiao Lotian waved his hand, "Don't call me the principal yet, let me ask you, I heard that your student soldiers were donating money before, saying that they wanted to make a bronze statue for me, is there such a thing?"

Well, I'm not criticizing you...... Now take out the money, and make a bronze statue of a mother and a child here, according to the scene of the day of the rice riots......"

"I'll invite you to Italy's top sculptors, and if you don't have enough money, I Xiao Letian will pay for it out of my own pocket...... Not only here, but all the memorable events in the normal battle, I will make bronze statues to commemorate..."

"The bronze statue of mother and son outside the rice shop, the water ghost who forgot to die in the village house of Guotou, the dead soldier who counterattacked the French in the middle of the night, and even the Japanese samurai who made great achievements, I will give them a bronze statue......"

"Nani?" Shimazu Daro and their sword drawing team members were stupid at the time, if you want to say that the Asian nation values honor the most, it belongs to the Yamato nation of Japan, for the sake of honor, they can laugh at life and death, it doesn't matter if they are disemboweled.

Now Xiao Letian wants to make bronze statues for them, which are the kind of bronze statues that are immortal for hundreds of years and thousands of years, so that countless future generations can admire their exploits and get the incense offerings of all the people in later generations.

"Hai...... Please accept our loyalty, Prime Minister..."Shimazu Daro and a group of them knelt on the ground, and their heads hit the stone slab all of a sudden, and this time they were so hard that even blood rushed out.

The alfonsino and his subordinates in the crowd were all dumbfounded, "Look, you see, how correct Lao Tzu's judgment is, Xue Ying, these Japanese pirates are actually going to be commemorated by a bronze statue......?"

"People have left a name, geese have left a voice, we are also good men born and raised by our parents, why don't we fight to leave a name for eternity......?

Xiao Lotian looked back at King Shangtai and Cai Mao Lin Yuanmiao, a group of Ryukyu ministers, and asked with a smile, "Your Majesty, the minister erected this statue of mother and son here, may I ask why?"

King Shang Tai was sweating like pulp, and his knees were weak in the face of Shang Father's invisible pressure.

"Shang ...... Father Shang... You want to kill the hearts of the people, you want everyone to see every day the big mistakes they once thought were greedy, selfish, and stupid...... You want to remind those who come after you that if you want a new country, if you want nationalism to rise, you have to lose the ego and achieve the big self......"

King Shang Tai peeked at Xiao Letian's face as he spoke, but he couldn't see the joy and sorrow at all, and finally King Shang Tai gritted his teeth and stomped his feet and said, "The student has understood... The student really realized... Shuri Castle Treasury provided funds, and we also erected statues on the docks, telling the scenes of how we were deceived and how we broke through forever..."

Ay...... Xiao Letian breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it's not bad that King Shangtai is clever enough, Lao Tzu, I just want you to fix your mistakes in the hearts of the people forever, this is your confession to the people, this is the evidence of the black crime in my hands.

Don't think that if you learn a few tricks from me, you will be able to collect the hearts of all the people, with my Xiao Lotian here, it is impossible for the hearts of the people of Ryukyu to be distributed to you.

However, Xiao Letian's ambition is not to grab the title of King Shangtai, all he wants is to control zhì, he smiled and helped King Shangtai up, "Your Majesty is enlightened, it is good...... Who in the world is not wrong? If there is, it will be changed, but His Majesty can go out of the city to reward the people, regardless of the danger of his life, and share the fate with all the people, this is a virtue that only the ancient benevolent monarchs had..."

"Your Majesty is still benevolent, this is the blessing of all the people, please accept the worship of Weichen...", said Xiao Letian with a big bow of ninety degrees.

King Shangtai was 'happy' and cried, and hurriedly returned the salute, "The prime minister is not polite, the prime minister is the Ryukyu Sea Purple Gold Beam, and the Dinghai Divine Needle of the East China Sea, in my eyes, you will always be Shang's father..."

How could King Shangtai not cry, Xiao Letian only talked about his benevolence, and he didn't mention that he was wise and decisive, smart and clever in life. This is to set the tone for himself: 'This is an emperor with a good heart, but his ability is average, and it is okay to expect him to defend the country, but if he wants to strengthen the country, it is a dream'.

There are often only one or two words for masters, but these two words can determine the fate of a person's life.

Now Xiao Lotian has the strength to decide the fate of King Shangtai's life...
