I don't know how far he walked in the storm, and Li Yong, who was exhausted, was finally carried to the bottom of the lighthouse by the messenger and Zhao Yong.

Zhao Jiaren pushed hard a few times, but the closed door did not move at all. He felt to the right side of the door, reached in and grabbed the head of the rope in the pit inside the wall, and tugged hard.

Li Yong watched Zhao Jiaren's actions inexplicably, and when he saw that the door was not open, he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart. On such a rainy day, I was locked out and couldn't get in. The people inside the lighthouse want the people outside to be drenched? It's just that Zhao Yong is exhausted, and his physical strength can't support his body to generate anger at all.

Later, Zhao Jiaren's inexplicable actions, Li Yong was too lazy to understand. Zhao Jiaren himself is a mystery, and Li Yong is just waiting for the mystery to be revealed.

Not long after, the gate of the lighthouse opened, and Li Yong didn't know where he got his strength, so he stepped away from his legs, which were already numb, and rushed into the door. The four of them entered the lighthouse, and the keeper immediately closed the door tightly. Li Yong sat on the bed on the first floor, feeling the soft straw, and didn't want to move.

Then Li Yong saw Zhao Jiaren take the lead in taking off his wet coat first, and Zhao Yong and the messenger did the same. The brother guarding the lampstand next to him was wearing only a pair of shorts, and he picked up something that looked like clothes and blocked it in the crack of the door. As the crack in the door was sealed, there was no feeling of wind blowing on the first floor. Despite the sound and vibration of drums coming from the walls outside, it was only movement outside, and there was only silence inside the lighthouse.

Zhao Jiaren took the lead, and the three of them took out the strips of cloth stuffed in their ears, and the servants also helped Li Yong take out the strips of cloth in his ears. Li Yong, who had finally managed to breathe, suddenly found himself still drenched on the lighthouse keeper's bed. He was also a man who had read the books of the sages, and he struggled to hold on to the servants, and stood up with ten thousand unhappiness in his heart. Zhao Jiaren had already climbed up the stairs with the lighthouse keeper at this time.

When Li Yong climbed to the top of the four-zhang high lighthouse with soft hands and feet, he saw that the guardian above was only wearing shorts, and his clothes were used to block the gap in the passage leading to the downstairs. The lighthouse is made of stone, the walls are very tightly sealed, the windows are open, and the wind and rain blow in, but I don't feel the unacceptable feeling outside.

The huge gong-like thing was placed against the wall away from the window, and a large fire was lit in front of it, and the light of the fire was reflected by the gong, and the yellow light illuminated the room. Li Yong felt a burst of warmth, and he actually felt a little drowsy. In a drowsy state, Zhao Yong heard Zhao Jiaren ask, "Is there a ship entering the port?" ”

"Back to County Lieutenant Zhao, most of the local ships have come in. Ships in the vicinity, as long as they have seen the lighthouse, have also entered our port. The guardian said excitedly. With the lighthouse, you can know where to go more than ten miles away, walk through this waterway, know how far away, and you can get in even if you feel dark......"

"County Lieutenant Zhao, in the past, we thought that the lighthouse was only convenient to enter and exit the port. Today, when the wind passed, I realized that the lighthouse can still save lives! ”

These were not the words of a saint, and they were not the words of the Great Dao of Science in Li Yong's ears, which made him feel unclear. The only thing that can be understood is that the lighthouse seems to have really saved a lot of people. The Lighthouse Keeper's words sound heartfelt and are not simple compliments. The Great Song Dynasty is very serious and evaluates every year. Everything in each county is part of the evaluation.

Among the evaluation content that Li Yong saw was a ship. Fuqing is close to the sea, and many families rely on the sea for food. If the ship is damaged and the personnel are drowned, it will be a great loss to Fuqing County. It's just that everyone doesn't know when the storm comes every year, and the prefectural ordinance must be based on the traditional accumulated meteorological conditions, and the fishermen must be prohibited from going to sea.

From the words of the guardians, it can be heard that the lighthouse built by Zhao Jiaren can greatly help local fishermen, and even help boats from other counties passing through Fuqing County. As the county magistrate of Fuqing County, Li Yong's credit can't run at all.

Thinking of this, Li Yong's mind cleared up a lot. He took two steps forward and asked the lighthouse keeper, "Where are the ships?" ”

The lighthouse keeper walked to the window, pointed outside and said, "Li County Order, the boats are all over there." ”

As soon as you stand at the window, you can immediately feel how strong the wind and rain are outside. Looking out condescendingly, I could only see that it was dark outside. Li Yong knew that he liked to stay up late when he was studying, and he couldn't see things in the distance clearly enough to get his eyes. After looking at it for a while and finding no results, Li Yong returned to the warm position in the middle.

There were a few chairs upstairs, and Li Yong initially listened to Zhao Jiaren and the lighthouse keeper chatting in the local dialect, and after listening to it for a while, he actually fell asleep in a daze. I don't know how long it took, Li Yong saw himself sitting at the table hungry and eating and drinking, but the aroma of the food was strong, but he couldn't eat enough. The more he ate, the more anxious he became, and he woke up violently.

The smell of food came to his face, and Li Yong saw that he was lying on the grass bunk on the first floor and sleeping sweetly. The previously closed door was open, and a cool breeze blew in through the door. Candles with veils were lit in the room, and food was already on the small table by candlelight. This is where the aroma Li Yong smells comes from.

Seeing Li Yong turn over, Zhao Jiaren smiled and said, "Li County Order, if you don't dislike it, let's eat some together." ”

Li Yong was hungry at this time, no matter how many false tricks. I ate with everyone. After eating, he went out to take a look, only to see the road in the distance sparkling in the moonlight. After walking around the lighthouse at a high place for half a circle, I saw a faint yellow pillar of light shining out from the top of the lighthouse. It didn't take long for the irradiation to disperse and it was not visible. If you go further, you can see that the window at the top of the lighthouse is very bright in the night.

Turning his head to look in the direction of the pillar of light, a rough outline could be seen in the moonlight. In that silhouette, a little light appeared. The lights were scattered, and when he saw it suddenly, Li Yong suspected that it was a sea of stars. Standing on the hillside and looking at the beautiful scenery in the bay, Li Yong didn't know what to do for a while. Not so long ago, it was a raging storm.

"It is suspected that the Milky Way has fallen for nine days." Zhao Jiaren walked up to Li Yong and said loudly, his voice full of joy.

Zhao Yong's heart moved, and he pondered for a moment and asked a question, "County Lieutenant Zhao." As a county magistrate, I have been lamenting all night for the affairs of the county. Why am I so happy when I see you? It makes me feel envious. I don't know if County Lieutenant Zhao can give advice. ”

"I can't talk about teaching. Li County Order, if you think that the result is what you want is the result, you will probably suffer from gains and losses. If you feel like you've made a start, you're bound to face the end. All you have to do is work hard from start to finish. I just do my best, and when I look back, I feel that I have a clear conscience every step of the way, and that's it. As for what the specific result is, Zhuge Wuhou has a saying, planning things is in people, and things are in heaven. I'm just a mortal, where can I have so much power to make an unknown prophet. Zhao Jiaren looked at the lights on the boat in the bay and said very happily.

Originally, his plan was to eat the credit for repairing the canal in Mulan Pi Beiyang, but he was calculated. Zhao Jiaren was also very dissatisfied in his heart, but he forced himself to let go. After arriving in Fuqing County, in addition to doing a good job of the county lieutenant's theft, he visited the people and inspected the terrain and climate of the county. Then he soon found his own opportunity to repair the lighthouse.

Fortunately, the weather was shining, and there was no bad weather when it was built. Not long after it was repaired, the lighthouse was functional. Zhao Jiaren felt that the path he was taking further forward was communicated again, and the ease in his heart was indescribable.

Listening to Zhao Jiaren's words, the county commander Li Yong's heart was churning. He thought that Zhao Jiaren was a calculating person, but he accidentally listened to the remarks of 'doing everything to obey the destiny of heaven'.

As a disciple of the great masters of science, the concept of 'preserving heavenly principles and destroying human desires' is completely different from Zhao Jiaren's idea. Li Yong immediately wanted to argue. But when he looked back and thought about what Zhao Jiaren had done, he had no way to compare with it at all. Thinking left and right, Li Yong was speechless for a while.

The cool sea breeze blew, and Li Yong felt refreshed. However, my heart seems to be weighing on a big stone, and I can't be happy.
