The originally harmonious and tranquil tea house suddenly became tense, and a deep chill directly soaked into every pore of Zhao Zi's body, making him feel that in this and dog summer, there is a kind of cold winter cold.

But Lu Shi's anger disappeared in a blink of an eye, and his reason regained his clarity again, Chunlan, who was about to draw his sword against each other as soon as he held it down, shook his head lightly at her, but the original light smile did not appear again, and now Lu Shi, with the safety of hundreds of thousands of followers on his shoulders, and the hope of struggling to survive in this last Ming Dynasty with them, how can he still be as angry and desperate as he was in front of Zhangjiabao, and Zhang Yuan's son,

took a deep breath, then turned his head to Zhao Zi, who was already frightened, and said coldly, "Mr. Zhao." This salutation has lost its previous respect and closeness, and what is revealed is only a kind of alienation and hatred.

Zhao Zi was a little overwhelmed in the face of Lu Shi's change in demeanor, but the arrogance of the literati in his bones was still there, and in the face of possible death, Zhao Zi not only did not retreat, stood up, straightened his waist, and also calmly bowed his hand and said: "Mr. Lu, please speak." ”

"Thieves, although they are called thieves by the court, in fact, they are a group of iron-blooded and loyal brothers, everything they do is for what should have been done by the damned court, they pick up knives and guns, protect the lives and peace of the people in the world, they pay their blood, for that oath, for the people of the world to build a new world." When he said this, Lu Shi no longer paid attention to Zhao Zi and the master who looked confused, but raised his head, and cast his gaze far away to the fresh, no haze world outside, his eyes passed through the endless mountains, as if he was looking at a new world outside the mountains, the world they were building with blood and life, Zhao Zi obviously saw that as soon as this oath was mentioned, the cold Zhao Xing, the Chunlan who had turned red with anger, their expressions slowly returned to normal, and then became infinitely clean, there is already a blurry intoxicated brilliance in the eyes.

"In that world, the peasants were no longer taxed and subsidized, the public was paid for their work, the children were given free education and were no longer worried about hunger, the officials were called public servants, not to be powerful and prosperous, but to serve the people with trembling fear, the people were wronged by the law rather than by the preferences of the superiors, the merchants gathered wealth for the purpose of circulation, and the peasants and artisans produced for the purpose of increasing the wealth of society. The government levied reasonable taxes not to fatten the officials and emperors, but to build schools, so that all children in the world could study, to repair the roads of the whole world so that people could travel conveniently, to build water conservancy, so that people could have land to plant, work, new clothes to wear, and enough to eat. There everyone is created equal, there is no subordinate management, there is no poverty and inferiority, freedom, yes, freedom, freedom, the atmosphere of freedom permeates every corner of the world. ”

Quiet, this small and simple tea house is quiet in the empty valley, bursts of warm wind combined with the fragrant aroma of wild flowers and earth, gently blowing in, blowing the faces, body and mind, bursts of birdsong, in this breeze, like the strings in the sky, sweeping every heart that has been dirty by this last days.

"Little sir, where is such a world, is it still far away?" Zhao Zi muttered, squinting his eyes and asked.

"Isn't there already one in the four counties of Weinan?" Lu Shi didn't look at Zhao Zi, who was confused, his eyes turned, and he slowly turned to the direction of the four counties of Weinan, and replied confidently.

"Of course, there are still such and such deficiencies, and there are also such and such filths, but after all, with the efforts of those pickled things in your mouths, in my eyes, the brothers of heroic people have begun to create that world, and they have taken the first step."

Zhao Zi turned his head, followed Lu Shi's gaze, and turned to the place where there was already hope, and involuntarily asked again: "That's already good, isn't it good?" ”

Lu Shi shook his head lightly, and replied confidently and melancholy: "Things in this world, no matter how close to perfect, are not really perfect after all, and all imperfect things still need us to make the greatest improvement in continuous struggle and continuous frustration and exploration. ”

Looking at Zhao Zi, who was speechless, Lu Shi stared at his eyes and said firmly: "Therefore, those pickled things in your words, in my eyes, in the hearts of the people of the world, are great heroes, and they are well-deserved heroes." ”

Zhao Zi was under the gaze of Lu Shi, his face was full of shame, yes, they are such a group of men, they are really different, what they are doing now, and they have been partially successful, isn't it the same that the aspiring scholars and literati in the world seek the most? Isn't it the world of great harmony that the saints pursue, but don't know how to achieve? They really shouldn't be described by the word pickled, and the cause they do should indeed be called by the word hero, hero, which is very appropriate.

He took a step back, solemnly bowed his hand, bowed down deeply to Lu Shi, and sincerely apologized: "I apologize for my ignorance and offense, and apologize to those real heroes, hoping to be forgiven by the heroes." ”

Lu Shi didn't help, just stared at his deeply lowered head with his eyes, for a long, long time.

Zhao Zi couldn't afford to give a deep salute, and after a long time, he said softly, but firmly: "If you can, let me also experience, the process of building the world of great harmony, where the thoughts of the saints will be verified." ”

Lu Shi smiled, a smile that used to be the same once again covered his cheeks, and his eyes were full of sincerity again.

took a step forward and helped Zhao Zi up with both hands, Zhao Zi also looked at Lu Shi with sincere eyes, at this time, inside and outside the tea house, the sun was shining, and the clouds were light and the wind was light.

A small unpleasantness, with the frank communication between the two sides, has been thrown out of the clouds, and the original little estrangement and mustard have also disappeared, not only that, but the two sides feel closer.

Lu Shi pulled his chair to get closer to Mr. Zhao Zi, and the master also put down the distance between him and the proprietor, and also found a chair, sat down behind Zhao Zi, opened the paper fan, and waved it gently.

"Little sir, I don't know why I have to do everything possible to give my brothers tea when the base is newly built and there is a shortage of materials?" Again, the conversation went back to before. "What's more, tea doesn't play a role in the brothers' combat effectiveness."

Lu Shi was just about to explain, but at this time, Zhao Xing became warm and sunny, but he was about to move, and wanted to show it, Lu Shi smiled slightly when he saw it, and gave in with his hand.

Zhao Xing's performance Zhao Zi has already seen it in his eyes, and he can't help but feel unhappy in his heart, as a subordinate, although he is trusted by the officials, although you also say that everyone is equal in the oath, but there is still order up and down, don't you understand the truth that there is no rule and no circle? Why do you want to grab the conversation like this? This is in your place, and if this is in the court, a great sin of contempt for the upper officials will not be able to escape.

But looking at Lu Shi, he didn't mind at all, but smiled and humbled a little, and Lu Shi's performance at that time was as if this was normal and deserved.

From this small action, Zhao Zi once again admired Lu Shi in his heart, and at the same time envied their brothers, the reason for his admiration was Lu Shi's insistence on principle, and he had an open-minded and friendly mind. Zhao Xing glanced at Lu Shi with a smile, and then explained to Zhao Zi: "First, those brothers, they suddenly have meat, they are fat and ruthless, and they can't stand it if they don't drink tea. Saying this, look at Zhao Zi's disapproving face.

In fact, this Zhao Xing's words had to be despised by Zhao Zi, "Blow you, there is meat all of you?" Looking at the world, can a small rich family do it? I know that your family is rich, but after deducting your extravagant equipment, you will maintain your full food, and if you can eat enough, this is already the happiest army in the Ming Dynasty. ”

Seeing Zhao Zi's expression, Zhao Xing didn't explain, just followed Lu Shi's appearance, smiled faintly, and just wanted to continue.

At this time, Chunlan, who had been pretending to be a lady, kneeling on a chair on one leg and gently shaking on Lu Shi's shoulder, couldn't hold back any longer, grabbed the conversation, and proudly announced her insight: "There is also the fact that this tea can cure soil and water discomfort, and——"

As soon as Chunlan's words came out, Zhao Xing suddenly paused, and immediately felt Chunlan's gaffe, look at Lu Shi, this is a military secret, whether to say it or not depends on Lu Shi's eyes, but Lu Shi still smiled lightly and watched everyone talk, there was no nervous look at all, in fact, this tea can prevent things that are not suitable for water and soil, and it has been said to Zheng Hongda's brother last time, Zheng Hongda's expression at that time was very excited, put down his business, and rushed to the Ming army camp in Yunnan overnight to judge the rebellion of luxury. Tell this great news to Zhu Xieyuan, the governor of Sichuan in the Ming Dynasty, who presided over the judgment, so that the encirclement and suppression of the Ming army will be prosperous, and now, in order to show openness and honesty to the allies, it doesn't matter whether this secret is said or not.

Lu Shi smiled and shook the fan and nodded slightly.

With the permission of King Lu Shi, Zhao Xing did not stop Chunlan's little trumpet.

Chunlan didn't look at the eyebrows of the teacher Zhao Xing, only saw the expression of Zhao Zi, who opened his mouth wide in surprise, and twittered even more proudly: "Not only can it treat water and soil adaptation, but he also treats sepsis and night blindness, and now, our brothers can fight at night, as long as there is a little moonlight." Speaking of this, when I saw this kind of open mouth again, I was even more proud, jumped out of the chair, and announced loudly: "Since everyone started drinking tea, even the diseases of athlete's foot, rotten corners of the mouth, etc., have disappeared in our place, and tea is magical." ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Zi and the master made an uproar, tea still has such an effect? Really? First of all, this water and soil adaptation and night blindness, they know that as the Ming guest army, the army has been at war with the barbarians in the south for eight years, and the casualties are very serious, even now, with the help of the sabre and spear that does not rust the army, but it can only save the decline, so that the battlefield has some improvement, the reason is that the water and soil are not adapted, the Guizhou army is too unbearable, and the local people in Yunnan are much more sick and die than those who died in battle, and at the same time, even if they died in battle, most of them were in the time of the aborigines' night attack, once the night attack, do not shoot torches, That is the blind man and the blind horse, and once the fire is raised, it is the living target of the natives.

Now, if these two problems are solved, will the rebellion of the Nanban aborigines end? That will save millions of military salaries for the Ming Dynasty every year, which is great news for the imperial court.
