The weather in Wuzhou is much colder than in the Central Plains, but in recent days, it has been sunny and the temperature has warmed up.

Tianlan Religion is the state religion of the Dashi Empire, but all the people in the area under its rule must be believed, Wuzhou has been ruled by Dashi for so many years, whether voluntarily or forced, the vast majority of the people are converted to Tianlan Religion, there are many teachings, and there are naturally more temples, so there are many Tianlan Temples in Wuzhou City.

Li Xun walked on the streets of Wuzhou, looking at the buildings on both sides that were obviously different from the Dajin Dynasty, as if he was in a foreign country.

The architectural style of the Great Jin Dynasty has always been square and atmospheric, while the architecture of the Dashi Empire is different, generally with a dome, and almost every residence will have a courtyard, surrounded by rooms or arcades, and there will often be a patio in the center of the courtyard.

"Boss, these people look at us awkwardly, and I look at them awkwardly."

Li Xun went out and took Jiang Daxiong and Ouyang Li to follow.

All three of them were riding horses, moving forward without speed or slowness all the way.

In Dajin, unmarried women will not often go to the street, not because the law does not allow it, but in the traditional concept, a young woman often shows her head outside, which is a frivolous performance and will be gossiped about by others.

The male and female fortifications of the Dashi Empire are very serious, so serious that Li Xun is breathtaking, women go out, they have to wrap their headscarves, just show a pair of eyes, on the street, men on the left and women on the right, each going their own way, it can be said that it is distinct, seeing Li Xun and them, many people are looking at them curiously, some people even point to Li Xun and others and point fingers, Jiang Daxiong said that he is awkward, this is the reason.

Ouyang Li also said: "Here, I really don't feel much of the breath of home. ”

The home Ouyang Li said refers to the Great Jin.

Li Xun smiled: "It's been a while since you've been here, and you haven't gotten used to it yet?" ”

Jiang Daxiong shook his head and said, "It's too strange here, it's hard for me to get used to it." ”

Li Xun glanced back at him, smiled, and didn't say anything, I'm afraid I'll have to stay here for a few years, and I have to get used to it if I don't get used to it.

In the north of Wuzhou City, there is a large-scale Tianlan Temple, but it looks a little dilapidated, and few people usually come here to worship.

"Daddy Alepf, you're busy with those broken books in your hands again?"

Walking into the temple, there is a large courtyard, and in the courtyard, an old man with a white beard and hair over 70 years old is carefully placing books on the ground, bathing in the sunlight and removing the moisture from the books.

Li Xun stepped forward and wanted to help, but the old man named Alepf hurriedly stopped Li Xun's actions: "I'll do it myself, don't help me." ”

Li Xun was dissatisfied: "Father Alep, I am kind enough to help you, your old man has such an attitude towards me?" ”

Alepf glanced at Li Xun and said angrily: "With your help the day before yesterday, several books were damaged, and I have to work hard to re-copy and repair them, you are clumsy, don't help, it's best to stand there and not move." ”

Aleph is a Dashi man, but he speaks Chinese fluently.

Li Xun was not angry, and said with a smile: "No one reads these broken books, you still treat them as treasures, I think, you might as well sell these books and improve your living conditions." ”

Alepf said disdainfully: "In addition to eating and sleeping, people must also have ideals. ”

"What is your ideal?"

"Save this knowledge and spread it."

Li Xun nodded, with some respect in his heart.

Fan Zhongyun said that he met a friend here, and that person was Alef.

Alepf was once one of the nine leaders of the Tianlan Sect in the seven states in the western part of Longyou, and ten years ago, Alef stopped meddling in the management of the congregation, came to Wu'an County, and bought the dilapidated Tianlan Temple.

Aleph has a big hobby, that is, he likes to collect all kinds of books, this hobby has lasted for decades, as a religious leader, he is worshipped by thousands of congregants, and some congregants will donate money generously to him, so Aleph used to be very rich, but his hobby has made him impoverished now.

Li Xun shook his head and said, "There are frequent wars, people are uneasy, and they can't even eat, who still has the heart to read these books?" ”

Alepf glanced at Li Xun and said stubbornly: "Peace will come one day, I don't want this knowledge to be interrupted in our generation." ”

"Li Xun, you're here."

Fan Zhongyun walked out of a side room with two books in his hand, and saw Li Xun at a glance.

Li Xun smiled and nodded: "Come and have a look." ”

It has been ten days since Li Xun arrived in Wuzhou, and his official business is still very busy, this is because the Wuzhou Governor's Mansion has just been established, and many equipped officials have not yet been in place, and too many things are pressed on Li Xun alone, and Wang Chengxi and others are not cooperative, and they have always been lukewarm to Li Xun.

"Can you read their books?"

Li Xun pointed to the book in Fan Zhongyun's hand.

"Both of these books are written in Chinese characters, but the content has nothing to do with our culture, I read it, it is somewhat interesting, and it is okay to read it in my spare time."

Fan Zhongyun handed the book to Li Xun, and then said to Alepf: "Father Alepf, I'll take these two books back and read them, and I'll give them back to you later." ”

"You take it, but keep it and don't damage it."

Aleph's attitude towards Fan Zhongyun is much better, after all, they are both knowledgeable people, and although there are great differences in culture, they still have some common words and ideas.

Fan Zhongyun led Li Xun to the room and poured him a cup of hot tea.

Li Xun took a sip, and the tea was bitter with a little sweet taste, which was very special.

"Haven't you been busy lately? How do you have time to run here? ”

Li Xun put down the teacup and said dissatisfiedly: "You are idle all day, either reading here or leading You Min around, I am very busy in the Governor's Mansion alone." ”

Fan Zhongyun smiled and said: "The Governor's Mansion has just been established, the officials are not in order, it has not yet been fully operational, there are not many things, you alone are enough to deal with it, why should I bother with that idleness, and if you achieve this position, you will definitely have to be in charge of it alone in the future, and you can't let others help you in everything." ”

"You're making excuses for yourself."

Li Xun said this, but he was just talking, he had already achieved the position of governor, in charge of the military of a state, and talents like Fan Zhongyun could help come up with ideas, but the final decision was still on him, without sober cognition and independent thinking, he could only achieve nothing in the end.

The two chatted for a while, and suddenly there was a quarrel outside.

Li Xun pushed the door out in surprise, only to see a man in his thirties, stopped by Ouyang Li and Jiang Daxiong.

"What's the matter?"

"Boss, this person said that he was from the county government yamen and wanted to see you."

The man was full of big faces, panting, and shouted loudly: "General Li, the yamen of the county government is surrounded by the army led by Gan Tuyuan, and the Zhou County Order cannot enter or exit, I have no choice but to come and ask for help from you." ”

This man's name is Feng Jiming, he is the county governor of Wu'an County, he first went to the governor's mansion, but did not find Li Xun, and found Li Xun's whereabouts from the soldiers, and rushed all the way here.
