After breakfast, Yuan Xi said goodbye to Bun Dun and others, and the two walked to the entrance of the village, where they entered the valley yesterday.

He suddenly said: "Let's go, Brother Xian has to be more careful." There is a strange place in this village, and I think I have never seen a village on this road several times. He lowered his voice: "I heard that some villages were razed to the ground in the war, and the spirits of men, women and children have lingered for a long time, and it is very strange ......"

Do Wuhuan people also believe in yin and yang, ghosts and gods? Yuan Xi also thought that they believed in the prairie wizard shaman. However, this kind of thing is not terrible in the eyes of his materialist, he smiled and said: "After the eldest brother goes back, find out the terrain well, I will quickly find someone to take over Yuyang, and then we will develop that grassland together." Remember the way out, right? ”

In the morning, Yuan Xi specifically asked Tian Chou for the way out, but he decided to stay and observe the operation of the village. In his opinion, maintaining such a utopian society in the fields and mountains, this field is quite thoughtful.

Badon hugged him warmly and whispered in his ear, "Take care of my sister......"

Yuan Xi was stunned for a moment, and thought: "Lou Jingshu's outfit was still seen through by him in the end." ”

At this time, Badun had already led his people away with their horses one by one. Lou Jingshu, the bearded girl, raised her head in the crowd and took a deep look.

Yuan Xi said: "You really want to follow me?" ”

Lou Jingshu didn't speak.

Yuan Xi said: "If you really want to follow me, why did you run away from the marriage that day?" If you marry me, you can follow me now, it's better than such a setback, and you have to worry about your mother and brother. ”

Lou Jingshu suddenly pulled out the knife from his hand, and a cold light flashed. Zhao Yun hurriedly took a step forward and blocked in front of Yuan Xi.

Yuan Xi hurriedly said, "Okay, let's not talk about this matter." But in the future, you will be my bodyguard, and you will always be by my side to keep me safe. How about a monthly salary with two meals? ”

Lou Jingshu retracted the knife into its sheath.

Zhao Yun looked at him suspiciously: "She can't draw a knife at every turn, and you still use her as a guard?" "It's no wonder that Zhao Yun and the others are worried, a bodyguard will pull out a knife at every turn, God knows how Yuan Xi can rest assured that she will follow her. However, Yuan Xi has a favorability system, so he naturally knows whether Lou Jingshu is really unfavorable to him.

Moreover, there are many advantages to having an unsympathetic alien to protect him. Zhao Yun is naturally a natural candidate for a guardian, but he still has the sea of stars to conquer, and Yuan Xi's generals are extremely scarce, so he can't be wasted here. With Lou Jingshu, Zhao Yun can be liberated to lead the troops. And Lou Jingshu is very relieved, not only is his combat effectiveness strong, but also he has no complicated social relations.

Lu Fang said: "Second son, now that we have been out for a month, we can't stay forever, Ji County, I'm afraid Lu Da can't hold it down alone." ”

I don't know what happened after the announcement of the merit-seeking order, and those county orders have already arrived in Ji County to wait, and the political affairs under the jurisdiction are all about to be abandoned. If they don't go back, they'll have to complain.

Yuan Xi said: "It's okay, we'll leave in a few days." The village was nice to stay for a few days. ”

In the afternoon, Tian Chou came to see Yuan Xi. At that time, Yuan Xi was taking a bath, he asked people to draw some water from the well, took a gourd scoop, and poured it on his body, in the winter, it made his whole body tremble, but he hadn't taken a bath in Wuhuan for a long time, and Yuan Xi was itching all over.

Tian Chou rushed in, and when he saw the smooth Yuan Xi, his face suddenly changed.

"Damn, the well water we used to irrigate the fields was actually used by you for bathing? What a......"

There is a lack in the north, especially in this valley, and sometimes the wells dry up if there is a great drought. In such a place, water can be said to be extremely precious. And Yuan Xi used to take a bath, which was simply a tyrannical thing.

Yuan Xi wiped his head with a dry cloth, finally put on his clothes, looked at Tian Chou's unlucky look, and asked, "Mr. Tian, don't you have to take a bath?" ”

Tian Chou said: "I wash when it's hot, and the last time I washed it was last summer...... What does this do, you ask? ”

Yuan Xi pinched his nose and said, "No wonder you have a musty smell on your body......"

However, in this era, there are not a few people like Tian Chou who do not take a bath for a year, the north is dry and has little water, and the ancient people did not have many cleaning needs, when everyone did not have the awareness of bathing, it was nothing, and everyone could tolerate the smell on their bodies. Just like diamonds, if everyone doesn't think that diamonds are related to marriage, then diamonds are just a very expensive stone in the eyes of people, and no one needs such a stone. Yuan Xi is doing things that everyone thinks are unnecessary and very luxurious.

"What is Mr. Tian looking for me?"

Yuan Xi shook the drops of water on his hair, since he had long hair, it was very troublesome to take care of it every day, and he really wanted to cut a short haircut.

Tian Chou said: "What you said in the morning, the more I think about it, the more I feel ......."

Yuan Xi said: "Hehe, don't you think it makes sense?" ”

Tian Chou said: "I think according to what you said, it is naturally an unfeasible dead end." But it's still easy to get down the road. Now there is no such situation, because the people here are all looking at me, but in case I am not there and someone is restless, there will still be a situation like what you said. It's hard ......."

Yuan Xi was in awe. If it was an ordinary old man, he would probably laugh when he heard the conclusions in his textbooks on sociology and economics, but this Tian Chou actually carefully deduced the possibilities and came to a conclusion that he didn't want to believe, which was really fair and objective.

"Mr. Tian, the development of things themselves has its own laws, and it is not what we think, and it is not transferred by human will. It's good that you bring so many people together, that everyone loves each other, that they help each other, that everyone has a field to plant and something to eat. But human nature is insufficient, and it is inevitable to always want to pursue more and better. If one person takes a step forward, your pattern will change, and this is an unstoppable trend. ”

Tian Chou said with a bitter face: "How can this be? Obviously, I'm also doing it for everyone's good...... If such a thing happens, wouldn't it be a return to the old ways? Tell me, don't we Han people have no hope? ”

Yuan Xi smiled secretly: "Of course there is hope." This requires a mechanism. ”

"Mechanism? What do you mean? ”

Yuan Xi said: "It is a system that allows those who can work more, work more, and allocate resources to those who need it more, so as to maximize the use of resources." For example, farming and raising chickens, let the people who are the most powerful in farming go to farm, and the people who are the most powerful in raising chickens should raise chickens. Finally, through the invisible hand, they exchange the remaining resources in their hands. ”

Tian Chou said: "But how can it be so simple? Don't you see how many officials who are on the ground and how many high-ranking families who oppress the people, do they deserve everything in their hands? You say I'm idealized, but I think yours is idealized. ”

Yuan Xi said: "Although what Mr. Tian said is right, this step must be taken out after all." The momentary gains and losses can not be calculated, if the governance of the country is small, you have to plan in advance, and the rest is to cook on the fire, go with the flow. I am about to return to Ji County to preside over the overall situation, the government still lacks capable governance talents, Mr. instead of taking care of a small village here, it is better to follow me to govern the entire Youzhou, I believe that at that time, the confusion in Mr. 's heart will naturally be solved. ”

Yuan Xi bowed deeply and shook his hands.

Tian Chou said: "I'll go ......"

"Huh? To go or not to go? ”

"I'll go."

Yuan Xi, who was ready to grind hard and foam, raised his head in surprise and looked at him.

"This ...... To go, or not to go? ”
