Under Lin Che's gaze, the scholar trembled.

"Retreat. ”

Lin Che said lightly, and then brushed his sleeves away, regardless of those ministers who seemed to have unfinished words, maybe some people would think that he was stubborn, but it didn't matter, time would tell.

But this also poured cold water on Lin Che, I don't want to learn martial arts in politics, as long as you blindly strive to be brave and diligent, politics also pays attention to balancing the forces of all parties, and even sometimes the people who support you will stand on the opposite side of you.

From then on, Lin Che planned to hand over most of his political affairs to Su San, he was going to concentrate on retreat and cultivation, before the sword slashed the golden body, so that he left a Dao injury, and now in the golden body, Lin Che's cultivation has encountered an unprecedented bottleneck, and he can't take a step forward in life or death, and Chu Xiu's Zhenyuan internal force that has been practiced hard for seven hundred years has been absorbed by him, and there is still a part of it hidden in his flesh and bones, which has become his potential, and it also needs to be developed.

Lin Che looked at the deep blue sky and sighed softly in his heart.

There are still thirteen years, and I hope I can become stronger! strong enough to protect my relatives and friends, and to protect the people of the Ming Kingdom.

......

Time flies like a white horse, and in the blink of an eye, three years have passed.

In the past three years, the rivers and lakes of the Ming Kingdom have suddenly become much quieter, and the Ming Kingdom has also undergone many earth-shaking changes.

Qingzhou City.

The city has changed dramatically, with walls nearly three times taller than three years ago, and a thick layer of iron armor covering the outside of the walls, making the whole city look like a steel chariot.

A man wearing a hat and a black robe entered Qingzhou City, as soon as he entered the city, he felt a completely different prosperity, the streets became orderly, everyone wore clean clothes, and the children ate white and fat, full of laughter.

In the center of Qingzhou City, there is a statue, is an unusually handsome man, far-reaching, clothes fluttering, this is the statue of Emperor Ming, Qingzhou is the hometown of Emperor Ming, Qingzhou people are proud of this, this statue is the people feel the merits of Emperor Ming and spontaneously raise money for sculpture.

The man with the hat stared at the statue for a long time, then sighed.

"Lin Che, in that position, you are indeed doing better than her. ”

The voice was clear and soft, it turned out to be a woman, the sun illuminated her face, revealing a heroic face, it was Qin Lengyue, who had been secretly let go by Zheng Xiaowan.

In the past three years, she did not leave the Ming Kingdom, but traveled all over the world, she practiced martial arts hard, and wanted to avenge her master, but as time passed, she found that her desire for revenge in her heart became weaker and weaker.

In the past three years, she was particularly sensitive to the changes in the Ming Kingdom, and the Ministry of Agriculture, which Lin Che had set up, found a food called potatoes, and printed and distributed the cultivation methods into a book, this kind of food tasted good, and the yield was extremely high, and the people rarely worried about food after it was popularized to various places.

The Ministry of Industry has invented a lot of strange things, such as the machine car that can automatically plough the land, instead of the ancient ox cart, the amount of cultivated land in one day is up to half a month's effort, and then the machine bird that can artificially rain, where there is a famine, the machine bird will fly with a water bag on its back, and stab the water bag in the air, as if it was really raining.

What makes Qin Lengyue even more admired is that Lin Che not only filled the stomachs of the people, but also gave the poor children a ladder to enter the court.

In terms of martial arts, Lin Che, as a great grandmaster, used his prestige to establish a school called Imperial Capital University.

In the Imperial Capital University, in addition to the many martial arts created by Lin Che himself, there are also exquisite martial arts of various sects, and the teachers here are either elders of various sects, or famous rangers and heroes, their stories are widely spread in the rivers and lakes, which also shrouds a halo for the Imperial Capital University.

"Hahaha, Wu'er has been admitted to Imperial Capital University, come and meet the statue of your future principal, and the greatest majesty of our Ming Kingdom!"

A middle-aged fat man dressed as a wealthy businessman said loudly, as if he was afraid that others would not hear him.

The people around him were envious, and a friend of a wealthy businessman said: "Old Zhu, you really gave birth to a good daughter, you are too competitive, unlike the kid in my family, who was only admitted to Qingzhou University!"

The rich businessman laughed, his face was proud, but his mouth was commercial nonsense: "Qingzhou University is also very good, and your kid is also very competitive." ”

"Hey, it's still not as good as your daughter, this gentle I have thought she has an extraordinary bearing since I was a child, and now I see that she is really a dragon and phoenix among people!"

The rich merchant couldn't help but laugh again.

There was a girl in a white samurai uniform standing beside him, the girl tied her long hair into a ponytail, very neat and clean, and her delicate face had a bit of heroism that was completely different from everyone's ladies.

There was a trace of helplessness in the girl's eyes, and she didn't say that before, the girl's name is Zhu Wenya, but she didn't like female red since she was a child, but she liked to dance with knives and guns, especially like to listen to the old man Li in the teahouse tell the story of the heroes in the rivers and lakes, her favorite is the biography of the Ming Emperor told by the old man Li, she is simply tired of listening, she doesn't like to read, but everything that has recorded the past of the Ming Emperor, she bought them all, what "The Legend of the Ming Emperor", "The Story of the Ming Emperor and His Seventy-two Concubines", "The Unknown Secrets of the Ming Emperor", "Shocked! Emperor Ming actually did such a thing to me......

She worshiped Emperor Ming since she was a child, determined to practice martial arts, she used the pocket money she saved to secretly go to the martial arts hall to learn martial arts, and was scolded by her father after being discovered, despite this, she still secretly learned martial arts, and persevered for more than ten years, taught hooligans and ruffians, and killed a tiger outside Qingzhou City, the name of the girl spread all over Qingzhou, her father turned his face with her, and felt that the girl's family practiced martial arts into what system, so he forcibly arranged a marriage for her, just when Zhu Wenya was about to run away from home and wander the rivers and lakes, Qingzhou Taishou came with a letter stamped with the imperial seal, Qingzhou Taishou, who looked down on merchants in the past, actually showed a kind smile to her father, and then held hands and shrugged the cold to ask for warmth.

She was admitted to Imperial Capital University!

Once she secretly went to the imperial capital several times to participate in the annual assessment, the first three times failed, this is the fourth time, she thought she still failed, but she didn't want to, this time she succeeded!

Since then, she has become the baby bump in the family, the pearl of the palm, the father has thirteen concubines, nine sons and four daughters, she was the most unpopular one, but now she only needs a word, the resources in the family will continue to supply her, one hundred taels of gold a bottle of Qi Pill Daddy bought her a hundred bottles in one breath!

Zhu Wenya looked at the statue of Emperor Ming with some obsession, these are the merits of Emperor Ming, if it wasn't for Emperor Ming who founded the Imperial Capital University, how could she have today's creation?

And...... Looking at Emperor Ming's handsome and dusty face, Zhu Wenya's face was slightly red.

His Majesty Emperor Ming is the president of Imperial Capital University, will he have the opportunity to meet His Majesty with his own eyes when the time comes......

There are many people like Zhu Wenya who change their fate, although some people can't go to the Imperial Capital University, but they are admitted to the local university, Lin Che ordered to build universities in the state capitals, teach knowledge and martial arts, and also have additional allowances for students in difficulty every year.

Looking at Zhu Wenya's young face, Qin Lengyue could sense that although this little girl's cultivation was not very high, her qualifications were extremely good, her roots were good, and the most important thing was that her temperament was very good for her appetite, and for a while, Qin Lengyue actually had the idea of accepting apprentices, but she immediately dispelled this idea.

Qin Lengyue took one last deep look at Lin Che's statue, and then continued to walk forward, coming to the slums of Qingzhou City.

When Qin Lengyue was still the head catcher of the six doors, she had been here for handling cases, and the slums at that time made a deep impression on her, and there was a group of old people in tattered clothes lying on the dry and cracked land, with broken bowls in front of them, and there was not a single copper coin in them, and the old people's eyes were cloudy, and their white hair was like a pampas reed that had been exposed to the sun.

At that time, the children in the slums were so hungry and thin that they could see protruding ribs under the shabby cloth shirts, staring at her with big eyes, timidly.

There were almost no women and young people in the slums, because they were all gone, and the women who were a little more beautiful or the young people who had some strength were gone, leaving only the old people and children.

Qin Lengyue walked in the slums, and the appearance of this place had changed greatly.

The ground is leveled, the surroundings are clean and tidy, and there is a plaque with five big characters written on it - Qingzhou Nursing Home.

In the nursing home, the grass is green, the children are playing games, bouncing, and the old people are practicing the simplified version of Tai Chi promoted by the imperial court in the sun, which is peaceful and beautiful.

Qin Lengyue noticed that although the people here were still wearing plain cloth clothes, their clothes were very clean and tidy, and the children's faces also had flesh, and they were no longer skinny.

What shocked Qin Lengyue's heart the most was that there was something in the eyes of the people here that had never existed before, and that thing was called hope.

"This sister, can you help Erya get a shuttlecock?"

A pair of big eyes with three points of fear and seven points of longing, looking at Qin Lengyue with his little head raised.

Qin Lengyue smiled gently, then jumped up slightly, and immediately took down the shuttlecock hanging on the tree and handed it to the little girl.

"Wow, big sister is amazing!"

Qin Lengyue squatted down and stroked her head, and said, "Little sister, what's your name, is it called Erya?"

The little girl nodded vigorously, and was about to speak when she heard her grandmother calling her.

"Erya, I'm coming back for dinner!"

Grandma leaned against the wooden doorway, beckoning to her, and the wrinkles on her face were rippling with a kind smile.

Courtyards, cooking smoke, the elderly, young children...... For some reason, seeing this scene made Qin Lengyue, who had been alone on the rivers and lakes for three years, feel a little like crying, and a kind of sadness permeated her heart.

"This girl, if you don't dislike it, let's eat some coarse tea and light rice together. ”

Grandma smiled at Qin Lengyue.

Qin Lengyue silently swallowed her sadness, and when she raised her head again, she was already smiling.

"Old man, do you have enough food for yourself? ”

Grandma waved her hand and said with a smile: "Enough to eat, enough to eat, it's just a bit monotonous, except for potatoes are rice, I don't know if you eat or not." ”

Qin Lengyue wanted to refuse, but was warmly pulled closer to the house by the old man.

"Erya, go make a cup of tea for the guests. ”

Erya immediately ran out to pick some tea leaves, and there were tea trees planted in the small yard.

The meal was ready, it was mashed potatoes mixed with rice, perhaps because of Qin Lengyue's arrival, grandma deliberately put on the freshly marinated bacon.

"Thanks to this potato, Erya and I will not starve, and now our life is getting better and better, my house and yard were repaired by the people of the government for me, and I don't take a penny. ”

After a pause, grandma sighed softly: "It's a pity that the old man didn't catch up with the good days, walked ahead of me, at that time this place was still called Chu State, Qingzhou had a drought, many people died, the old man also starved to death at that time, there was only one sentence before he died, that is, let me take care of Erya, at that time Erya was like a puppy baby, and almost starved to death." ”

Grandma looked at Qin Lengyue's somewhat sentimental face, and said busily: "Look at what I said about this, come on, come on, eat quickly, now the days are getting better and better, the government will also assign me some weaving work every month, the salary is not much, but I can also buy some new clothes for Erya every year, the government also exempts the tax in my field, and from time to time there are students from Qingzhou University who come here to farm and say that they are doing some experiments, and every year is a bumper ......harvest."

After a pause, grandma sighed with emotion: "I never dreamed that I could live such a good life, now my biggest wish is for Erya to study, fortunately there is a private school of the government, the annual tuition fee is only ten copper plates, if the baby is more competitive in the future, it will be the glory of the ancestors if he can be admitted to Qingzhou University, and then the old body can rest assured to find my old man......"

Maybe it's because no one communicates all year round, grandma opened the conversation box and talked to Qin Lengyue about the shortcomings of the family, Erya had already made tea, and while eating mashed potatoes, she stared at the bowl of bacon beside Qin Lengyue, and her saliva was about to flow out.

Qin Lengyue's eyes were warm, without a trace of impatience, and she quietly listened to her grandmother's nagging.

Sir, the world I had dreamed of back then, you have finally realized......

After dinner, Qin Lengyue stayed until the evening, and only then took advantage of her grandmother's inattention, left ten taels of silver and then drifted away, not leaving too much, ten taels of silver was enough for this small family to live more prosperously.

Leaving here, Qin Lengyue was going to find a remote and poor place to open a private school, specializing in recruiting poor and poor children with no money, and giving them hope.

Roll over and get on the horse.

Qin Lengyue took advantage of the night to go west, wearing a strong suit and carrying a long sword, like a dashing chivalrous man who indulged in the rivers and lakes, at this time she seemed to have untied some knots in her heart and completely let go of her hatred.

Sir, let me also contribute to the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty built by you......

Although the rivers and lakes have been far away since then, and you will never see you again, Qin Lengyue will never forget that night, a white-clothed scholar talked with her by candlelight, and the two talked about a prosperous era, a prosperous era that only belongs to the people.

The scholar's white clothes were as bright as the moonlight tonight.
