"Your Majesty, Lin Maolin and Phantom Chime ask to see you." The father-in-law shouted in his usual loud voice.

A while......

"Hustle! General Lin and the phantom chime go to the temple! The father-in-law's voice came again.

Lin Maolin and Phantom Spirit Chime walked into the hall.

This time, both of their hearts were tightened, and they didn't know what the result would be this time, but it was still necessary to meet the Holy One.

Lin Maolin's cobblestone hall, although the two sides are not as good as the palace, but the place where half of the courtyard was built here is still worth nostalgia, after all, this will be the most beautiful place in the whole Luoyang.

"Your Majesty, your subordinates have come to disturb Your Majesty's rest, and your subordinates have come to make amends." Lin Maolin walked in and bowed to Zhou Jingyang and said respectfully.

Zhou Jingyang sat on the main stage, glanced at the two of them, and expressed his love with a solemn and simple attitude.

"General Lin, it's good that you're here, I also want to go and see you, but because of my official duties, I can only meet here."

"Report to Your Majesty, the Phantom University Scholar is famous, and the future is bright, I, Lin Maolin, am just a general, let the Phantom University Scholar and me, it is really too tyrannical, my subordinates came here for the marriage, please think twice before acting."

Zhou Jingyang glanced at the phantom spirit chime and said, "Scholar, you are also here for the marriage of Nazhuang?" ”

Phantom Chime is dressed in formal clothes, but he also has a bit of energy.

"Your Majesty, I am also here for this matter, in my opinion, it is not that I am much higher than General Lin, but, I think that a person's marriage cannot be hastily handled, and it is related to a lifetime of things, please think twice."

Zhou Jingyang glanced at them and stepped down from the chair with the dragon's head tattooed.

"General Lin, Phantom Scholar, you are all talents of my Great Zhou, I don't want you to think twice, it's just that now that the national crisis is at hand, I hope you will focus on the overall situation, men and women love something, of course I understand, but feelings can be cultivated slowly, a week later, Wu Dier finished the marriage, and you will go to the front line. After all, now that the war is in an emergency, I also have a headache. ”

"Then ......" Lin Maolin was interrupted by His Majesty before he could say a word, "Don't be in a hurry to refuse, I'll take you to a place where it may help you think." ”

Following Zhou Jingyang through the palace, as soon as he left the main hall, a group of people followed behind them, all of whom were soldiers in iron armor and war knives.

"General Lin, who do you think is the easiest for us to win over in today's world? In other words, where will the development of Da Zhou start? ”

Lin Maolin shook his head and said, "I don't know, my subordinate is just a general, and I have no right to think about the major affairs of this country, all I can do is to practice military affairs and lead troops to fight, and I don't know much about the rest." ”

Zhou Jingyang asked Phantom Lingqi again, what is the best way to develop military national strength in the world today?

Phantom Lingqi said: "Back to Your Majesty, in today's world, marching and fighting are nothing more than people, food and weapons, these three are the most, and the second is land, planning and people's will. ”

Zhou Jingyang asked again: "Then how can I get these?" ”

Phantom Chi Da: "What the public wants, what the ministers point to, is to win the hearts of the people." Scientific production, proficient in farming, is the grain road. On top of these two, the development of weapons and the grinding process are the way of war. With all three, the country can be strong and prosperous. Exchanges with foreign courtesies and exchanges with each other are the way to achieve both. ”

Zhou Jingyang nodded, "Still Phantom Spirit Chi knows this truth, General Lin, you have to learn from other Phantom Scholars, this is your shortcoming, if you have changed it, you will be encouraged." General Lin, do you know? ”

Lin Maolin nodded, "Your Majesty, your subordinates know, and your subordinates will definitely not violate their expectations." ”

It's a long road that requires reckless effort and perseverance to reach the other side of success. The growth history of little people requires countless blood and sweat to pave the way. On such a road, the results may not be too good, but the process is worth appreciating, isn't it!

"Here, this is the place where I brought you, where work is started all year round, here, people work hard day and night, here, people work hard and work hard, here, the simple earth and the piety of flowers, here, everything is possible, because the road under his feet, he is both down-to-earth and steady."

With Zhou Jingyang's gaze, here, the sun is shining, because there are no tall crops, here is endless, on this land, one after another, one after another, one after another, the seeds of labor are sprinkled here, and the sweat of hard work is shed here. Here, people live happily, here, no one complains, and the sound of laughter wafts through the fields.

There are men, women and children here, sweat and tears here, but the most thing here is emotion, the yearning for love.

"You see, I come here every once in a while, looking at the joy on their faces, I know that my share of the effort is worth it, because of my own efforts, they got this peace, because of our strength, they live carefree, here, in this land, we are the masters here, General Lin, do you say yes?"

Lin Maolin nodded.

Zhou Jingyang walked out of the field, and even turned around, "General Lin, let's go down and have fun and experience the pastoral life."

Zhou Jingyang took off his shoes, and Lin Maolin also took them off

Shoes and military uniforms were dropped.

The moment the two walked into the field, the freshness of their feet hit instantly, and the feeling they will never forget, it was a kind of pleasure from the ground, from the soil, and they felt comfortable, natural and simple.

"How should this seed be planted?" Lin Maolin asked.

Zhou Jingyang's smile was a little pleasant.

"Now the tools are not complete, and I can't hit yet, hey, old uncle, can I ask you for something?"

The old uncle turned around, looked at the two of them, and showed a simple smile from the peasant uncle, "Okay, what do you want?" ”

Zhou Jingyang said: "I want some seeds and two small irons." ”

Uncle Farmer smiled, "Okay, you guys later, I'll go find them to make up for it." ”

Zhou Jingyang said: "Okay, we'll wait for you, you slow down." ”

The two looked at the figure of the peasant uncle in the distance, and there was silence here, and the two yellow finches were playing in the air, jumping happily, all at ease.

"You probably don't see much of this kind of sight?" Zhou Jingyang said.

Lin Maolin nodded and said, "Back to Your Majesty, I really don't see such good land and crops very often. Although it was not very good, except for the master, it was the miserable childhood in Chang'an City. I was able to come here because of Your Majesty, the land here is very cool and pleasant, it is quite suitable for people to live here, and it should also be due to Your Majesty to be able to quickly resume production from the palm of Dongying people. ”

Zhou Jingyang laughed and said, "It seems that General Lin still doesn't understand, is this my credit?" This is clearly the credit of the Phantom Scholar, General Lin, when you jumped into the river, the Phantom Scholar had already considered this land in Luoyang at that time, it has been barren for a long time, and the water in the river has not been well used, if this river water is used, the restoration of the barren land in Luoyang will be just around the corner. ”

Lin Maolin looked behind him, but the Phantom Scholar was no longer there.

Lin Maolin asked, "At that time, how did he tell you about this matter?" ”

Zhou Jingyang said: "You have invaded Luoyang, we have not entered, naturally we will not be idle, and after a while, we will mingle with the people outside Luoyang City, that uncle is a very good friend I know." ”

At this time, the farmer uncle also came, "Hello, the tools and seeds are ready for you." ”

Zhou Jingyang turned out to be iron and seeds, and Lin Maolin also took it over.

"You learn from me, you can't just use brute force to reclaim the world, skill is the most important, in this kind of benign land filled with water, you just need to shovel it lightly with an iron, and then bury the seeds in it, and then bury it gently with soil."

Lin Maolin has learned everything, and soon he understands, here, it is also easy to get started, after all, he is not a rich child, if he has to say that he is a rich child, at most, even if he is a son of a few days, Lin Maolin didn't pay attention to this prosperity that came and went quickly.

"General Lin, your face is splashed with mud, and you are now like a big cat." Zhou Jingyang laughed and laughed at Lin Maolin unabashedly.

Suddenly, his feet slipped, and he didn't know if it was retribution or he was too unlucky, so he fell on all fours, sitting on his buttocks in the dirt, and the mud splashed everywhere, which made Lin Maolin jump and jump straight behind him, dodging the dirt that was attacking him.

Lin Maolin stood far away and laughed at Zhou Jingyang, "Your Majesty, it's embarrassing now, don't distract yourself while working, you don't listen, now it's okay, make it look like this, I know I regret it, hahaha." ”

Lin Maolin couldn't help but laugh.

"Lin Maolin, give me a serious attitude, I don't have an open-minded and studious attitude at all, how will I cultivate the fields and farm in the future?"

Lin Maolin closed his mouth, but he was still happy in his heart, this moment, no matter what, he would not forget, because, in the future, he can brag in front of his friends again, that who, who, who, that His Majesty the Emperor, fell on all fours when he was plowing the field, isn't that a very interesting thing?

Just as he was thinking, Zhou Jingyang looked at his eyes, and the meaning was very clear, Lin Maolin, if you let me know, if you kid secretly discussed my past with Chen Ren behind my back, Lao Tzu won't beat you to death.

Lin Maolin was silent, time passed quickly, it was already past noon when they came, at this time, the sun also set, through the afterglow of the setting sun, looking at a pale red sunset, a woman's voice came: "Your Majesty, General Lin, the meal has arrived, come and eat something, it should be called a day at this time." ”

Zhou Jingyang walked up the ridge, and Lin Maolin also followed the ridge.

The delicious flavor of the meal is on the nose and the enticing aroma is the best flavoring for a busy day.

A few villagers are eating rice from the countryside.

Zhou Jingyang shouted loudly: "Brothers, come here, there is delicious food here." ”

After hearing this, the people of the heavenly world looked in Zhou Jingyang's direction, but no one was willing to move, because the ironclad soldiers behind Zhou Jingyang made their hearts move.

This meal is dedicated to all busy people, life is wonderful because of labor, we are willing to work hard for this beauty, we will guard for this beauty, this is us, the reason for our labor.

The old man came over, he was the old man who helped Zhou Jingyang find tools, and when he saw this old man coming over, the villagers were divided

Ready to move.

"Old uncle, do you often work here?"

Uncle farmer said: "Yes, there are few people in the family, the limited labor force in the family is so little, if you don't work, these acres of land at home will be wasted, the current policy is so good, heaven and earth are given to farmers for free, thanks to today's leadership, if it is not for the wise leadership of the leader, there will be no such a happy and beautiful life for us." ”

The farmer was crying as he spoke, as if he remembered some sad past.

Lin Maolin comforted: "Is there something to say, in this beautiful day, I should be happy, why are I still sad?" ”

Uncle Farmer had a smile on his face and said, "That's it, that is, when you should be happy, you look at me, blame me, and spoil this atmosphere." ”

Lin Maolin looked at the farmer's uncle's smile, and he unconsciously smiled on his face.

"Here, eat more." Lin Maolin handed a piece of fine pastry to the farmer's uncle.

"Thank you, you're all good people." Uncle Farmer said as he ate.

At this moment, the people next to the ridge gathered more and more, and Zhou Jingyang ordered: "Come and distribute the remaining grain to the people." ”

"Yes." A soldier delivers baskets of grain to the villagers.

When the villagers saw the food in front of them, they reached out and grabbed it, once or twice, twice or three times, and the food they caught was chewed in their mouths, one bite or two, the food went down their lips, and some of them were still in their mouths, and the crumbs slipped down their lips little by little, maybe the bread was too big, maybe they were too tired, but these didn't matter, some ate, some drank, no need to rush, and lived a life of avoiding disasters, this is the best life, this is also the life they want, in this world, what they want, The state has given it to them, and now they don't want much, a plain life, a different taste, this is their most urgent idea now.

"Thank you, General Lin." In the crowd, a young, young man in plain peasant clothes shouted at Lin Maolin in the crowd.

Soon, the young man who called him came to Lin Maolin's side and said, "General Lin, you are my idol, I admire you very much, thank you for saving us, can I join the army with you?" I also want to be like you, mighty, kill the enemy and serve the country. ”

Lin Maolin looked at the young man and said, "How do you know me?" Where did I save you? ”

The young man took off his clothes and said in a crying voice: "General Lin, look here, the group of people who escaped in Luoyang at that time, thanks to your help and guidance, we went up to the bandit mountain and had a place to stay, and thank you, thank you for your help, so that we are now, I wanted to join you at that time, but, you see, the scars on my body are the ones that make me have no chance to join the army directly, and now I see General Lin again, I think, I will always grasp the last chance, if there is no chance, It's better to give up at the end, after all, I want to hear General Lin's opinion. ”

Lin Maolin glanced at this little thin child, his short figure, if he hadn't taken the initiative to lift his clothes, no one would have thought that there was such a scar hidden in this weak body that even adults might not be able to bear, but he really endured it like this, and there was no discomfort.

The phantom spirit chime came to Lin Maolin's side and said, "General Lin, how pitiful do you think he is?" At a young age, he inherited what ordinary people could not bear, so you should take him in for his pity. ”

Lin Maolin nodded and said, "It's not that you can't join the army now, it's just that there aren't so many options for the troops, are you willing?" ”

The young man nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice.

Lin Maolin said: "Then you will follow me, in the future, you will act as an army reserve in the army, responsible for the production and processing of food, you have to work hard, take care of your body and come out again, and then you will be able to contact martial arts like your brother in the army." ”

The young man jumped up happily, bowed and said, "Thank you, General Lin, thank you, General Lin, I want to tell my mother this good news, he will be very happy to hear it." And my future father......"

Lin Maolin thought about the meaningful words of the young man, but he didn't know what to say, because he also knew that children of his age were often left-behind children. The days with my mother tend to be the longest.

Looking at the back in the distance, Lin Maolin thought thoughtfully, he hoped that things like this would happen less in the future, because the beautiful yearning in his heart, he and everyone else, they are all children who yearn for happiness, and in the face of this desire, anything that hinders them to beauty will be their enemy.

Phantom Chime asked, "General Lin, what's the matter?" Why is there so much sentimentality all of a sudden? ”

Zhou Jingyang glanced at the two of them on the side, and then continued to chat with the villagers about their parents.

In the dark, a group of people observed the situation here one by one.

Since Xu Jingchen's death, Zhou Jingyang's reputation has spread all of a sudden, and everyone knows it, so naturally no one will try to sneak in and assassinate His Majesty the Emperor.

Could it be that this majesty is even more powerful than the Great Swordsman? They didn't dare to think that whoever gave them food, they would do it with whomever they wanted, or rather, it wasn't necessarily not food.
