Again, Xiao Qiang also asked why Nancheng was so empty that there were no houses in such a large place, and all bamboos were planted. It's a ridiculous question, like a person pointing to a tree and asking why it grows here. However, Cen Chi not only did not show a boring expression on his face about this question, but still slowly answered it.

Following his introductory explanation, the two Feng and Tian, who had been behind them and listened quietly, also realized that under all the green bamboos in the southern city, the filling was all the construction waste left after the new construction of the old city. In such soil, only plants with strong rhizomes, such as bamboo, can survive and grow well.

When the old city was pushed down, two hills were piled up of broken bricks and rubble. At that time, the reason why the urban construction team of the Ministry of Industry had to spend a lot of effort to pull this huge building to the south of the city was because under this quiet bamboo forest, there was once a mudflat.

This mudflat has always been a problem for the imperial court, and the Great Zhou ruled for more than 300 years, until the imperial capital moved here, and this problem has not been solved. The key point is that the Ministry of Industry cannot measure the depth of the bottom of this mudflat, so it cannot calculate and formulate a dredging plan, and connivance at this silent abyss-like quagmire of people for hundreds of years.

Later, when Wang Chi entered Beijing and became a new country, the first thing he considered was to pick out the problems around the imperial capital.

Emperor Zhao thought of the same method as Emperor Zhou, which was also the method of filling and filling. It's just that the measures of the two dynasties to govern the world are slightly different, the Zhao country is newly established, full of vitality, and what is in the social planning will soon be put into action. At the same time, thanks to a great talent in this area in the court, not only did he dare to think, but also made the emperor reach a consensus with him...... After the old city wall was dismantled, all the waste materials were filled in here to level the mudflat. The enormity of the project is evident, and it also reflects the terrible existence of this geographical existence.

For hundreds of years. I don't know how many lives have been swallowed up in this mudflat. After the reign of Shokoku, the Imperial Court spent a lot of money to fill in the area, and while expanding the area of the inner city of Kyoto, it also solved the problem of evacuation of waste materials nearby, forever removing the security threat posed to the residents of Kyoto by the place of execution in the south of the city, and it was also a success of manpower against natural threats.

However, although the mud swamp is flat, the unnamed lake next to the mud swamp remains. I don't know if it's because the mire has swallowed up too many people's lives, and the resentment is still gone, or if it has its own bad soil problems, and the water of Weiming Lake adjacent to the mire shows a dark green color all year round.

The Ministry of Industry was appointed emperor. The question now is how to clean up the lake from its strange colors, rather than filling in the mire, which is straightforward and costly, as was the case in the past.

People can't live without water. Most people who have dug ditches and built ponds know that it is not possible to retain water by digging a pit anywhere. Lakes are the spiritual eyes of the earth, and any lake that naturally forms on the ground and has the ability to store water is a God-given resource. The mud swamp next to the unidentified lake is of no use, but this huge lake is huge. If the governance yields results, it is a heavy fortune for the Zhao country.

After Cen Chi explained this problem, Xiao Qiang, who was walking in the bamboo forest, thought that the land under her feet had swallowed many lives, and she couldn't help but shudder. Fortunately, she didn't walk on the shore of the dark green water-colored Weiming Lake, otherwise she would have trembled all over.

However, because of Cen Chi's answers, Feng and Tian, who were in the same company, thought of the Ministry of Industry demolishing the old city and building a new city. Taking into account the grand scene when filling this murderous quagmire, the mood can't help but be a little high-spirited. From this large area of quiet bamboo forest, thinking that this large area was once full of man-eating swamps, these two famous Xiangfu Nursing Homes couldn't help but be shaken.

In fact, Cen Chi answered this question. It's not that far away, it happened about seven years ago. However, because the imperial court took the initiative to keep this matter secret, and the place was not built into a prosperous commercial area in the end, the flow of people was not large, so after a few years. Few people talked about it, and few people were interested in it. These pasts are like stones in a wall. Quiet and cold pressed underground, obscured by the tightly intertwined rhizomes of a patch of green bamboo. It was obviously just a few years ago, but when it was mentioned in its entirety, it seemed to have been sealed in the dust for a long time.

Perhaps only when the water of Weiming Lake is no longer green and no longer affects people's vision and body, this place will naturally become a lively business district, and some people will have a heated discussion about the pioneering work of this place in the past!

However, this does not mean that no one can know and mention this matter here, but there are very few people who mention it. And when Cen Chifu mentioned this matter, the two Xiangfu Nursing Yuan, who were not as narrow as a woman at all, immediately felt shocked.

However, the thing that shocked the two along the way seemed to be just this one.

This is mainly because Cen Chi's answer is all for Xiao Qiang. Although Feng and Tian walked together all the way, they did not interject a word. And Xiao Qiang, just a maid in the Prime Minister's Mansion, what big questions can she ask? It's just the kind of trivial questions that women have in their hearts.

When the group of four arrived at the small temple, even such trivial and boring questions were gone.

Soon after arriving at the temple gate, Cen Chi and Xiao Qiang were not behind the compact cascading buildings of the small temple. The two Xiangfu nursing homes who couldn't leave their bodies couldn't enter the inner house, and the two people who stayed in the quiet room finally felt the real boredom and boredom. Along the way, the respect for Cen Chi that had just been ignited in their hearts was also diluted by this boredom and boredom, and more importantly, they suddenly had another opinion on Cen Chi.

After the conversation just now, which was only two sentences in total, Feng and Tian, who were sitting opposite each other at the table, fell silent.

The two of them are the test of Prime Minister Shi Jing, and the people who have taken on heavy responsibilities, of course, their temperament is different from that of ordinary servants in the Prime Minister's Mansion, at least not the type of people who talk a lot. However, silence did not mean that they did not think in their hearts, and after a while, Feng Jiu, who was sitting on the left side of the table and spoke first, said: "I am very puzzled, how can such a talented person like to come to such a place and become friends with a monk. ”

"Who knows?" Tian Qi, who was sitting upright on the right side of the table, was looking down at the saber resting on his lap at this time, and said casually: "Those guests in the mansion seem to have their own hobbies that are different from ordinary people, we can only be responsible for the things arranged by the Xiangye, and we don't care about other things." However, this Mr. Cen is really good-tempered, and it seems that it is precisely because of his frequent contact with monks and Buddhas that he is relatively weak, which does not seem to be a bad thing. ”

"I hope he doesn't overdo it." Feng Jiu suddenly smiled and said, "If he has the idea of being born because of this, Xiangye may have a headache." ”

"You're thinking too much." Tian Qi withdrew his gaze from the horizontal knife on his lap, looked sideways at the next door, shook his head slightly and said, "I think that only people who can't think of it will escape into the empty door, this is an act of evasion." And I don't think a person with a mind like him can't think of anything. Xiangye has so many problems to ask him for solutions, he can deal with them every time, how could he let himself fall into that kind of dilemma. Fundamentally speaking, we should not doubt Xiangye's vision. ”

"That's just as well." Feng Jiu smiled slightly when he heard this, "Being thin is also the norm of life, but I have moved because of the place." However, if Cen Chi had more exchanges with the monk, would he be fine, but the monk would be vulgar? ”

"You can't just say that." Tian Qi's eyes showed a hint of color, his face was slightly solemn, and he said slowly: "Xixin's prestige in this temple is very high, and this small temple and Xixin's prestige have also won the approval of the current emperor, let's not joke about this matter casually." ”

"Okay, no kidding, let's be serious." Feng Jiu, who had been a little frivolous since he spoke, smiled on his face, and after a pause, he lowered his voice and said solemnly: "You know what? Last year, Cen Chi left the Prime Minister's Mansion and traveled abroad for almost a year, during which he was inseparable from the fourth and fifth day of the road, so as to fulfill the responsibility of the Xiangye to protect him. However, in the last days when he was about to return to the Prime Minister's Mansion, the fourth and fifth children stayed in this small temple for a few days, and by an unexpected chance, they discovered that Xixin's martial arts cultivation was far higher than that of outsiders. ”

Tian Qi was surprised when he heard this: "The two sides have fought each other? ”

"Not really." Feng Jiu shook his head, "You know, this small temple doesn't allow people with sharp weapons to enter. The fourth and fifth were responsible for secretly protecting Cen Chi, but they only hid outside the temple and did not follow closely step by step. However, they didn't expect to meet another master of unknown origin on the way, and when they were about to fight, Xixin came out. After a slight pause, he finished the last sentence, "Xixin only showed a little, and the other masters retreated by themselves." ”

Tian Qi groaned and asked again, "Do you know who that master is going to?" ”

Feng Jiu thought for a moment and said, "It's like coming to Xixin, because they may not know Xixin's true cultivation like us; Some of them seemed to be going to Cen Chi, because they might not know that someone was protecting him secretly, and in short, they would not be looking for the monks in the temple. Dozens of monks who eat fasting and chant Buddha are extremely bland, and there is no need to alarm such a master to kill them directly in the temple. After the fourth and fifth came back, they said that they could only feel it when they met the two masters head-on, and they should be chasing the unknown third passerby, but they only felt the breath of the third passerby. ”

"In this way, the third passerby who disappeared is a little stronger than the fourth and fifth old-fashioned martial arts cultivators, which is a bit strange." Tian Qi knocked on the table with his fingers, paused for a moment before staring at Feng Jiu's face, and said, "Xiangye should already know about this, so naturally there will be a strategy, but I don't know, what do you mean by telling me that Xixin's martial arts are unfathomable." ”
