Shangdang County.

Spiegel Division, back hall.

The table was still full of a large pot of meat and a few stir-fried vegetables.

"You know the news that Yuanye County was attacked by barbarians!"

Lu Guangxin reached out and grabbed a piece of fatty meat, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly.

Lu Taishou, I know. ”

Li Xian replied first, and hurriedly swallowed all the remaining meat and vegetables in the bowl mixed with rice, and then sat upright.

Okay, look at you like this, if your master sees it, he will think that I have done something to you. ”

Lu Guangxin saw it and immediately scolded with a smile.

What about the future...... When the two of us are here, you can just call Uncle Lu. ”

Li Xian had a smile on his face and said, "Uncle Lu." ”

"Stinky Boy ......"

Lu Guangxin shook his head and ate the remaining food in his bowl in one gulp.

picked up the teacup and took a sip, the expression on his face was neither sad nor joyful:

"This time, I will arrange for Cui Sheng to take you to Yuanye County...... It's a bit weird over there, there's a lot of cat in it, and if you do it well, you can probably go up a liter. ”

That face without sadness and joy has always lingered in my mind.

Since Lu Guangxin arranged for me to come here, it means that he must know something! So what is my role in this?'

'And Cui Sheng, what is he thinking?'

......

Outside the government.

Brother Li ...... Brother Li ......"

Xiao Liuzi's call pulled Li Xian's thoughts back.

"Huh?"

Li Xian came back to his senses, spit out the dog tail grass in his mouth, and said with a smile: "What's wrong?"

Xiao Liuzi smiled, picked up the tightly wrapped lotus leaf in his hand and shook it, and said, "I heard that a steamed bun shop here is very good, and today they came out of the stall, so I went over to buy some." ”

Untie the lotus leaf, the hot bun is steaming, Xiao Liuzi stretched out the spread lotus leaf in front of Li Xian, and said:

Brother Li ...... You taste it. ”

With a bright smile on the corner of his mouth, Li Xian reached out and took a bun and sent it to his mouth, and couldn't help but squint his eyes.

Tender and juicy, very fragrant!

"You also eat ......"

"Hmmm......"

Soon, a few buns, one by one, were quickly eliminated.

Squatting next to the stone statue of the pig that is still intact in the palace.

Li Xian asked:

"Are they done well in the mansion?"

Xiao Liuzi replied:

Almost...... The task on our side was quickly completed, and the inner hall was in charge of General Cui's personal guards. ”

Li Xian nodded.

The Shanzi battalion did not garrison a military camp outside the city in Yuanye County, but replaced the original political and legal system, changed to military control, and more than 10,000 soldiers were stationed at the four gates of the county seat, and the task of repairing the city fell on their heads, and they were responsible for the restoration of the government office.

Fortunately, with the help of the Mo family this time, they are not confused, under the command of the disciples of the Mo family, the mansion was quickly rebuilt, the strength of the soldiers is far beyond ordinary people, and the speed of work is much faster, and most of the work has been restored in a few days, and the lobby in the front yard has been repaired.

Li Xian looked at the people who were passing by in a hurry.

Twitter ..... twitter......

Distance

A few gray swallows flew down from the sky, landed on the eaves, jumped back and forth, spread their wings, and fell quickly.

With a creak, the eaves that had been burned by the fire suddenly shattered, and fell to the ground to stir up dust and mist, and several gray swallows chirped twice and spread their wings and flew away.

Their original home was destroyed in the fire, and they had to find a new home.

On the rather dirty streets, there are already merchants carrying sugar gourds and carrying goods to walk the streets and alleys, and the stalls on the street unveil the steamers, steaming, and the shouts of the shopkeepers are heard.

Stretching out further, there are several strong men in khaki clothes who are carrying wood to help the people rebuild their homes, and everyone is reawakening the city in their own way!

No matter how sad or painful it is, people always have to move forward, and painful memories will be sealed in the deepest part of the mind with the passage of time.

Sighing secretly, he shook these useless feelings out of his head.

"What about the two or five hundred lords?"

Xiao Liuzi thought for a moment and said, "The speed of repair on the city wall is also very fast, and with Qin Lao taking the lead, it should be repaired soon." Qin Lao was the old man who came with the disciples of the Mo family day and night.

"Okay, over there of the Bright Sect, did Lao Chen find anything?"

Xiao Liuzi shook his head helplessly, and said: "This Guangming Sect has a good reputation in Yuanye County, and the investigation on Lao Chen's side is not going well, we have only been here for a long time, and the progress is very slow, but Lao Chen said to go back and catch a few local snakes and ask." ”

Licking his lips, Xiao Liuzi thought for a moment, and then asked:

"Brother Li, is there anything wrong with this Bright Sect? I feel that they are all very good, since we first came, they have been giving porridge and charity, and now they are helping the people rebuild their homes. ”

I heard that the Bright Sect's porridge charity was specially financed by contacting several big clans in the city. ”

Li Xian did not answer.

Xiao Liuzi could only hide his doubts deeply, in comparison, he believed that there must be some reason why Brother Li did this, so there was no need to think that this Bright Sect must be strange.

Illuminati!

Believe in Jiufeng, the god of light.

Its teachings are more like a fusion of Buddhism and Mohist characteristics, pay attention to the equality of love between people, advocate thrift, oppose extravagance and waste, as long as you do good deeds and accumulate good deeds during your lifetime, you will be thrown into the arms of the God of Light after death, and the good fortune accumulated in those previous lives will be extended to future generations.

In fact, about the accumulation of good fortune, to be honest, it is very sought after by the poor people at the grassroots level, for them they can't afford to practice martial arts, can't afford to learn, if they do more good deeds during their lifetime, even if it is a trivial thing, they can give their descendants a little chance to break away from the civilian class, they are still very happy.

Because they spend their whole lives in toil, thinking every day whether they can eat enough and whether they can live, sometimes faith is a sign of hope for them, and they do not want their offspring to spend their lives like cattle and sheep like themselves.

Secondly, there are very many members of the Bright Sect, spanning Yanzhou, Jizhou, and Youzhou, there are at least hundreds of thousands of followers, it stands to reason that such a huge force, why can the government tolerate them again and again.

Because this sect is really doing good!

Every year, if there is a drought or flood in various parts of the three states, people from the Guangming Sect organize the congregation to help the government in disaster relief.

It's just that Li Xian has always maintained a skeptical and distrustful attitude towards the Bright Sect, since Lu Guangxin said that Yuanye County is tired, it means that many places are suspicious.

In fact, there is a vague guess in his heart...... It's just that there is not enough evidence to confirm it!

Secondly, this aside, conspiracy theories or not, especially the doctrine of this kind of doctrine could not make him feel good.

The reason is simple, he doesn't believe it. There is no love in the world for no reason!

However, nothing is absolute!

In this day and age there is really love for no reason.

For example, the Mo family...... This is a school with leaders, doctrines, and organizations.

They follow in the footsteps of contemporary Mozi, and they do not ask for anything in return but only dedication in their lives, especially the disciples of the Mohist faction who really treat the common people as their beloved relatives and friends.

Most of these Mo people came from the lower strata of society, and many of them were orphans under war or disasters who were adopted by the Mo family, so they knew more about the people's suffering, endured hardships and stood hard work, and were strict with themselves, and regarded upholding justice and morality as an unshirkable responsibility.

These children of the Mo family are still very popular in the officialdom of the Great Jin Dynasty, because this is a group of people who have their own thoughts and ambitions, and really want to do practical things and do something for the people.

Li Xian can only sigh at this.

No matter what world you are in, there will always be sparks of ideas that make this era more interesting.

I have to say that this is actually very good, maybe because there is no competition for hegemony like in the previous life, the Great Jin Dynasty obeys the mandate of heaven to unify the land of China, and the main idea of the Mo family is how to use their knowledge and ability to better let the people live a good life.

Therefore, Li Xian's impression of the Mo family is still good.

......

Li Xian glanced at the sky and said:

"Let's go to the south gate and have a look. ”

Okay. ”

All the way to the gates of the city.

From a distance, you can see the old man in a short shirt - Qin Tianhe, Qin Lao! Don't look at the old man's white hair, those strong and powerful arms are enough to beat some young men who don't know the height of the sky.

However, Li Xian came over to have something to do, and led the dog to the city gate tower.

After a few steps up, I saw Shi Sen hurriedly coming.

Brother Xian...... Two or five hundred, the Lord has commanded me to come down and fetch you. ”

Li Xian smiled: "I'm tired." ”

"Brother Xian. ”

"Brother Xian. ”

"Brother Xian. ”

The soldiers patrolling the city wall were all Situ Leopard's personal guards, and when they saw Li Xian, they immediately shouted affectionately.

The army only looks at the strength, you can show the ability to serve the public, many things are easy to say, not to mention a title, the month of suppressing bandits as a unit together, they can say that they know Li Xian's strength very well, plus they have a lot of relationship with Situ Leopard, when there are no outsiders...... That's how everyone screamed.

Went up to the city gatehouse.

Brother Xian...... How can I have time to run over today. Situ Leopard, who was dressed in armor, was already waiting beside him, and when he saw Li Xian, he said affectionately.

Li Xian asked, "Brother Leopard, how was the matter that I asked you last time?" ”

Situ Leopard retracted the smile on his face, retreated from the left and right, and said: "It may be a bit boring here, the people under my command have specially inquired, and they all say that the people on this side of the South Gate died when the barbarians broke the city." ”

Click...... Click

Li Xian frowned deeply and bent his fingers to tap the city bricks.

Situ Bao scratched his hair on the side, and with his ingenuity, he didn't know what to do next.

Whew-

Li Xian breathed a long sigh of relief, and cast his gaze under the city wall, and could see from a distance that under the command of Qin Lao, the damaged city wall was about to be repaired, and the final step was being made, which was to paint mud.

To say that this rammed earth wall is also exquisite, first put together a thick plank, every two planks outside the insert of a column called "Zhen". Ropes were also tied between the columns, which held the planks in place like sticks so that they would not collapse. As a result, four wooden walls are erected to form a long and narrow square frame, which looks like the scaffolding of the building in later generations.

Since only part of the city wall was broken, the task of the soldiers was to constantly shovel the soil with shovels, put it in bamboo baskets, and let people follow those "scaffolding" to the wooden walls, and keep filling in the soil, under the command of Qin Lao, they passed in turn, very orderly and efficient.

And when it was full of earth, the soldiers worked in groups of three or four, picked up the heavy rammers, and smashed them against the loose mound!

Picking up the pestle again and again, smashing it into the soil, the loose dry soil was slowly tamped, more and more stiff, and the back was sprinkled with water and coated with a layer of mud, and this section of the city wall with a large hole exposed was repaired.

When the construction is completed, the scaffolding is removed, and the rods pressed in the rammed earth can also play a reinforcing role.

Then

There was a cheer from downstairs in the city, it was repaired!

It's just that Li Xian's attention was attracted by something else.

There are hundreds of acres of fields outside the south gate, but most of them have been completely trampled by horses' hooves, and the ridges have also been destroyed.

A branch river from the Salembir Prairie flows slowly through the sky, and villagers can be seen in the distance holding urns to irrigate their fields.

Back and forth, back and forth.

Brother Xian...... You say what to do next. Situ Leopard asked.

"Brother Xian?"

Situ Leopard suddenly found that Li Xian's eyes seemed to be stunned, looking straight into the distance.

"Oh! I didn't think of that. ”

Li Xian slapped his thigh hard, and directly turned over and got off the city wall.

There was a slight noise when he landed, and he straightened his armor.

Now the walls are repaired...... But the homes of the people in the city were destroyed in the fire, so after we rested, we helped the people rebuild their homes. ”

The old man's firm and powerful voice could be heard from afar.

Li Xian waited for Qin Lao to finish speaking, found a gap, walked directly to Qin Lao's side, hugged his fists and said:

"Elder Qin, I'm Li Xian, the head of the Shanzi Battalion, and I have something I want to tell you. ”

Qin Lao drank the last sip of water from the bamboo tube in his hand, and said with a gentle smile on his face:

Child, you say. ”

"That's ......"

Li Xian pointed to the villagers and farmland in the distance, and then began to raise his hand and gesture in midair.

As time passed, Qin Lao's eyes became brighter and brighter.
