Chapter Forty-Eight: Reason Returns

Ever since Wangjiazhuang's wealthy man joined the Cult of Light, it seems that he has changed people overnight. no longer bullied men and women, but gave a lot of gold and silver to the people he had hurt, and came to apologize. Whenever the people in the neighborhood talk about this matter, they are amazed, and it becomes the main point of everyone's discussion after dinner. And under the guarantee of the Cult of Light God, the kind people still temporarily forgave this little rich man who usually does nothing evil.

After Liren woke up, gradually everyone in Chaozhou began to believe in the Cult of Light, and for a time the limelight of the Cult of Light overshadowed the momentum of the local religion. Every monk and Taoist priest has a sense of crisis, because their incense money has been reduced to half compared to the original.

Under the leadership of their own hosting, the monks came to the Chaozhou Mansion to complain about the now popular Cult of Light. The prefect of Chaozhou thought that Hou Ye had asked people to come to greet him secretly some time ago, so as not to let himself interfere in religious affairs. He could only comfort every monk who had attained the Tao, and then respectfully sent them back, and finally directly ordered the officials outside the palace gate: "In the future, if there is such a thing, I will say that I am not there." After instructing this matter, the governor of Chaozhou went to the Hou Mansion.

In the Hou Mansion, Li Ren smiled and said to Chaozhou Zhizhou: "Xiong Zhizhou, the current affairs are not something you and I can manage, think about Buddhism, Taoism, and various religions that have just come out, can you manage it?" The best way is to let it develop, and we don't care about it, as long as our one-third of an acre is stable, and we don't care what religion it is. Are you saying I'm right? Xiong Zhizhou Xiong? After listening to what Liren said, Xiong Zhizhou felt that it made too much sense, and immediately nodded fiercely in agreement.

After the matter was dealt with, Xiong Zhizhou simply felt that his life was too good now, he didn't have to use his own brain, and he would find Hou Ye if he had something. No matter what happens, Hou Ye will definitely be able to do it very properly, so that he has a lot of time to drink flower wine and enjoy the flower moon with his beloved aunt and wife.

After Xiong Zhizhou left, Zhang Lei came, and Liren asked him: "Did the assassin catch it?" ”

"The assassin was stabbed to death by the lord, and he was never caught." Zhang Lei also said regretfully.

Rihito asked, "Did the assassin's sword ever remain?" ”

"The swords have been well preserved by our people, just waiting for the lord to check them." Zhang Lei waved his hand outside and said, "Bring me something." ”

Immediately, a sergeant came up carrying two large boxes, and Rihito hurriedly came to the box to open it and took a look, and immediately said with contempt: "Sure enough, it's a Toei ninja." ”

Zhang Lei asked incomprehensibly at this time: "May I ask what the lord is a ninja?" ”

Rihito took out the only scroll in the box and unfolded it to look at it carefully. After closing it, he said to Zhang Lei: "Ninja is a kind of organization in Dongying that focuses on assassination, espionage, protection, and protection. ”

"Isn't that the same as us?" Zhang Lei asked suspiciously.

Li Ren walked to the table and unfolded the scroll just now, looked at the picture on it, and said to Zhang Lei: "Yes, their task is basically the same as what you are doing now. ”

Zhang Lei asked even more incomprehensibly now: "Lord, why don't we have so many famous names when we spy on intelligence and kill people?" ”

"They are all people who have been specially trained to do these things since childhood, and generally only a third of a hundred children can become ninjas in the end, or only one or two people." Rihito recalls the information he had given to the ninja in his previous life.

"And what about the last ones who didn't become ninjas?" Zhang Lei is also very curious now.

Li Ren smiled and said: "In the end, those who didn't succeed were all accompanied by Lord Yama early." ”

When Zhang Lei heard this, he immediately knew the cruelty of the other party, and immediately asked: "Then how to protect these ninjas?" ”

"Now you go and find ten good hands for our gang to protect the little prince, I already know their style of behavior in the last time I fought with them, isn't it just some shady tricks. Hehe, that's why they're coming again, I want them to come back! "Rihito is not afraid of these aliens at all.

Zhang Lei was still very worried, and said: "Lord, last time they were able to break into the garden with so many people guarding, this time only ten good players are too big?" ”

Rihito smiled slightly, walked up to his side and said, "Hehe! You don't have to worry that what you see may not be true. Ten good hands are enough. Little Wako~ Hmph! ”

Zhang Lei didn't talk nonsense anymore, and hurriedly went down to find someone. At this time, Fang Ning came to Liren's room and asked, "Lord, when will we start building a city south of Sangpu Mountain?" ”

"Hehe, don't you say that I still forgot, so let's wait for Zhang Lei to make arrangements, we will start to set off for Sangpu Mountain." Rihito said with a smile.

At this time, Chen Lin also came to Liren's room and asked, "Lord, we are very short of manpower now, and the original instructions you originally ordered to recruit craftsmen and laborers are not enough now." ”

Li Ren thought for a while and said: "Now that there is a war in Xiangyang and other places, the imperial court will soon negotiate peace again. Generally, the people who can't stand the oppression of the Northern Yuan Dynasty will definitely flee south. Just start recruiting laborers and craftsmen halfway through. As soon as Chen Lin thought about it, he took the order with Fang Ning.

The Divine Servant Chen of the Bright God Sect in Linhai Village had already received a letter from the Chief Sect and came to the entrance of the village early this morning. After waiting for a long time in the morning, he finally saw the distance to confirm that it was coming here, and he hurriedly rode the donkey under his crotch towards the group.

After settling the five thousand soldiers, Li Ren followed Chen Shenfu to the seaside, looking at the endless ocean, Li Ren said happily: "Chen Shenfu, you said that it would be good to build a city that is unique in the world. ”

Chen Shenfu didn't think about it and said, "As long as the adults say it's good, then everything will be fine." ”

Li Ren shook his head and said, "Divine Servant Chen, let me tell you a secret, this secret must not be told to anyone. When it happens, you'll see if what I'm saying is accurate. ”

Chen Shenfu knew Liren's true identity, and hurriedly nodded and said, "Okay! I swear that the god of light will do what the adults say. ”

At this time, Liren looked at the sky and said: "Chen Shenfu, our current Great Song Dynasty will be completely occupied by the Northern Yuan, and the people of the entire Great Song Dynasty will be tortured and killed by the Northern Yuan." After saying that, Rihito didn't speak again, just stared at the faint coastline to the west.

Chen Shenfu immediately opened his mouth wide, drew a cross on his chest, and prayed to the gods: "God of Light bless, God of Light bless." After a long time, he asked Liren: "Merciful bishop, you have now issued a prophecy that you will save the entire people of the Great Song Dynasty!" ”

Hearing him call himself the bishop directly, Liren smiled a little and said, "This place is surrounded by the sea on both sides, and the mountains on one side. As long as our armada is on the sea, we don't have to worry about the enemy on every sea. This side is a mountain, and all that is needed is another small city with high and thick walls. To block the enemy's coming, we only need to face one side of the enemy, and here I am ready to build the last safe place for our Chinese nation. While talking about Liren, he drew a map for Chen Shenfu on the ground and analyzed the enemy's movements.

Ten days later, the craftsmen came here one after another, and the first materials arrived. Rihito began to plan with the craftsmen sent from the desert island how the city would be built.

After discussing for a long time, a craftsman asked Rihito: "Big island master, why do you have to make the city wall twenty zhang now?" Isn't it good to be ten feet high in the current city? You have to know how thick the wall of 20 zhang is. ”

Li Ren listened carefully to his narration, and said to him patiently: "Let me tell you something, and you will know why I built the city wall twenty zhang high. Far to the north, the Northern Yuan now has a kind of return cannon, and its range is more than 500 steps. If they come to attack the city, I ask you how we can defend them with the walls. ”

Suddenly, the craftsman didn't speak anymore, but listened attentively to Liren's explanation. Richhito added, "Not only did I ask for a very high wall, but I also asked for twice the thickness of the wall as it is designed now. ”

"Ahh Immediately, all the craftsmen were shocked and couldn't close their mouths.

It took three days just to plan the city wall, and during these three days, Rihito personally guarded the craftsmen's side, and whenever there were questions that the craftsmen did not understand, Rihito answered them one by one, such as why the foundation was so deep, why this kind of cement thing sticks to the bricks, and so on.

Three days later, the first group of migrant workers arrived, more or less with their families. Liren hurriedly assigned 500 soldiers to take charge of the accommodation of these migrant workers who arrived first. It's been five days of busyness, and Rihito is already tired. At this time, the soldiers under his command came to report: "Hou Ye Qi, Hou Ye Lixin has returned from the sea with people." ”

"What? Reason is back? Liren suddenly lost any fatigue, and walked back and forth happily. He immediately asked, "Did he go back to the island first?" ”

"On the island where the Marquis of Reason returned first, he said that he would come to the construction site tomorrow. He also asked me to report. The steel cannon on the island has been successfully tested, and it is waiting for the raw materials to be cast in batches. The soldier finished reporting and stepped aside.

Li Ren hurriedly said to Zhang Hu: "Quick, prepare a boat for me, and by the way, tell Mr. Fang, let him guard here for a few days first, and I will come back in a few days when I return to the island." ”

In the evening, Rihito happily returned to the island, and as soon as he arrived on the desert island, Lixin gave him a big hug. Li Ren hurriedly asked: "What did you see when you went to Taiwan Island this time?" ”

"Huh! The eldest brother is really anxious, and when he walked back to the house, our two brothers talked about it, and this trip to Taiwan had a great harvest. Hehe" Lixin is very mature at this time.

Li Ren smiled and patted his head and said, "Hey! I'm so busy right now. Walk back inside! ”

When he came to the house, Lehi also followed Rihito's side. At this time, Li Xin said excitedly: "Big brother, don't you know, I have seen a lot of people in Taiwan, where they have fled, I heard them say that the more you go to the middle, there are many local aborigines inside, divided into large and small ethnic groups." ”

"Oh! Where did the people of the Great Song Dynasty flee to, I really can't imagine what kind of tribulation they went through to get over! Liren said with emotion.
