Chapter 32 Let it go
After patiently listening to Yang Jin's statement in the study, Li Qian of the county guard looked sideways at Li Qian and asked, "What do you think?"
Li Qian knew that this was his father testing himself, so he hurriedly said: "Xu Yi can't do this, let the guards of the death row camp be removed, and also set up official positions, and let the death row prisoners manage themselves, isn't it tantamount to rebellion?"
Li Yan smiled slightly, noncommittal, and only said to Yang Jin: "I know, you go down, Xu Yi is the captain of Wu Yi, he should be in charge of the death camp, and everything will be done according to his wishes." Yang Jin bowed and retreated.
Li Qian wanted to say something, but Li Qian raised his hand and stopped: "Later, you can listen to Xu Yi's reasoning." ”
Sure enough, a moment later, Xu Yi came to ask for a meeting, and Li Yan immediately ordered him to enter the study.
Xu Yi entered the house and bowed to Li Yan, and Li Qian reprimanded: "Xu Yi, don't be rude, you are now a member of my Li family, and when you meet your father alone, you should kneel and salute." ”
Xu Yi sighed, did he really think he was a slave of their family? At that moment, he said: "Lord County Guard, whether a person is loyal or not depends on the weight of his courtesy, if some people kneel and kowtow to you on the surface, but in their hearts they are cursing your ancestors for eighteen generations, what should I do?"
Li Qian was furious, a teacup was thrown over, Xu Yi caught it lightly and skillfully, and said with a hippie smile: "Thank you for the deputy county guard's tea, I'm thirsty." After that, he actually drank the tea in a big gulp.
Li Qian was so angry that he smoked, but Li Yan laughed and said: "Interesting, what you said has some truth, but if I force you to kneel and salute, will you scold my ancestors for the eighteenth generation in your heart?"
Xu Yi put down the teacup and said with a dry smile: "Do you guess it will?"
Li Yan smiled slightly: "But how can you see that others are truly loyal to me?"
Xu Yi said: "Actually, it's very simple, Lord County Shou, you have the mustard seed in your hands, that is, you have the general trend of the world in Donghai County, the so-called general trend, I don't know others, anyway, I will recognize it, whoever has great power, I will be loyal to whom." ”
Li Yan nodded and smiled: "You told the truth, yes, I have the momentum." After a pause, Li Yan said: "In this case, my subordinates will only exempt you from kneeling." ”
Xu Yi bowed down and thanked him, and Li Yan asked again: "I heard that you only went to the death row camp this morning, and you caused a lot of trouble?"
Xu Yi nodded and said: "Lord County Guard doesn't know, although these bastards from the death row camp are used as cannon fodder, well, cannon fodder is the person who is sent to death in front, it is my hometown." Let's go on, using these people as cannon fodder, although it is a bit clever, but it is actually dragging the expedition team back. ”
"What do you mean by that?"
Xu Yi cleared his throat and said: "You think, those few people have been locked up for a year or two, and many have been locked up for more than ten years, they can't eat well and wear warmly, and they have long had resentment in their hearts, once they get out of the enchantment, they also know that they are going to be sent to death, once the spiritual power is unsealed, I am afraid that the first one will turn back and kill the people of the expedition team to vent their hatred, in fact, they resent their compatriots more than the sand devils, even if they die, they have to pull their compatriots on their backs, how can they be willing to fight with the sand devils?"
Li Qian sighed slightly when he heard this, this question was something he had never thought about.
Li Yan touched his chin and beard and smiled slightly: "You go on." ”
Xu Yi said: "These people are locked up there, as if they are pigs being raised in captivity to be slaughtered, but unfortunately the pigs don't know when they will die, but these death row prisoners do." I don't want to take them on an expedition, and when it comes time to unlock their spiritual powers, I'll be the first to be killed. So I'm going to do some reforms in the death row camps, at least to make them live like human beings first, and then to know that there are still concerns in this world. Once people have concern and hope, they will be afraid of death, and they will not take risks. ”
Li Yan frowned slightly and said, "What are you going to do?"
"Human life is actually very simple sometimes, it is basic to be well fed and clothed. Then I'm going to train them well, give them some hope, so that they don't despair and self-harm, and then let them see their families or something, let them know that they still have hope in this world. If you have expectations, you will want to survive, and if you want to survive, you have to be united. Once you leave the barrier, the only way to survive is to unite everyone. Xu Yi said simply.
Li Yan nodded and said, "The idea is good, you can do it." But remember, if something happens to the death row camp, you, the captain, are responsible. ”
"This is natural. Xu Yi nodded, glad that Li Yan was still a good leader who could listen to reason.
"How's the dynamite going?"
"Well, I started to teach Huan Yi and Chang Ling the principles of their explosions, but their foundation was too poor, and they didn't even know basic chemistry, so I had to teach them from scratch. Xu Yi sat down uninvited, took a sip of tea and said, "Don't worry, Lord County Shou, now I have asked them to memorize the basic periodic table, and I will answer it in detail later." ”
Li Qian couldn't help but shout: "Xu Yi, what kind of heart do you have? Let you teach them how to make explosives, what do you teach these to do?"
Xu Yi frowned and said: "I see that these people sent by the county guard are all elites, and they plan to teach them all the principles. If you want to learn quickly, you don't need to send these people, just let the gold spirit masters and craftsmen come over, and Baozheng will teach them in one day!"
Li Yan also frowned and said, "If you continue to teach like this, how long will you teach?"
"Fast is half a year, slow is a year, it depends on their understanding. Xu Yi said sincerely: "County guard, I want to learn in my chest, all-encompassing, if I don't leave more useful things within a year, I'm afraid that everything I have learned will be wiped out after my death." ”
Li Yan bowed slightly: "I see, I know, then tomorrow I will select another gold craftsman to go to you to learn how to make explosives, and there will be people from the nine major clans." ”
Xu Yi smiled gloomily, looked around and whispered, "Lord County Guard, there are no outsiders here eavesdropping on us." Li Qian knew that what he said was not himself, but he felt very uncomfortable.
"But it doesn't hurt to say that. "Li Yan likes Xu Yi more and more, and he has a bad stomach.
Sure enough, Xu Yi smiled ill-intentionedly: "Tomorrow, all the nine major clans will send the golden spirit people over, I will teach me like this, I will divide the process of making explosives into nine steps, and each clan spirit will only teach a part, and then tell everyone that each clan has mastered a key step, and no one can do it without it, so that there will be no worries about the secret of the explosives leaking out, and it will also make the nine clans feel at ease. Of course, I will write a separate copy of all the steps and give it to Miss Li Xiang, so that the county guard Li Shi only masters one step on the surface, which seems fair, but in fact, all the steps have been mastered by Li Shi. ”
Li Qian wanted to reprimand Xu Yi at first, but after hearing the last sentence, he couldn't help it, and only asked: "Do you really teach all the steps to your little sister?
"I wasn't a county keeper on my last trip, but now I am, so naturally I want to plan for the Li family, right, Lord County Guard. ”
After thinking for a moment, Li Yan nodded with a smile and said, "Do what you want." ”
It turned out that after Xu Yi briefly described the principle and power of explosives to Li Yan and others that day, in order to appease the Duan family, the Huang family, the Chang family and other clans, Li Yan still persuaded the other clans to share the explosives production method among the nine clans, and then according to Xu Yi's method, the patent fee was charged, and everyone shared the dividends equally.
At that time, Xu Yi felt that it was inappropriate, if the nine clans had mastered this explosives making method, no one could guarantee that no one would make explosives privately for profit, so he came up with this nine-step assembly line operation method at that time, but in the end, because there were many people present, he didn't say anything.
After Huan Yi and Chang Ling came to Xu Yi's house, Xu Yi started to teach them from the periodic table, planning to delay it for a while, and then tell their plans when the time is right. Sure enough, as soon as he said it at this time, Li Yan agreed, and everyone tacitly agreed.
Xu Yi said again: "As for Huan Yi and Chang Ling, I plan to set up a Donghai County Science Research Institute at home, and I will hand over all my miscellaneous studies to them, hoping that the county guard will allow it." In the end, Xu Yi added: "There are many things I have learned that are more useful than explosives." ”
Li Yan naturally agreed, and even wrote an official letter to Xu Yi for the establishment of the Donghai County Terran Academy of Sciences with a stroke of his pen at that time, and asked him to organize it himself.
After the discussion, Xu Yi took his leave and left. Li Yan looked at Xu Yi's back and said to Li Yan: "If this person can come back from the expedition safely, you will definitely be a confidant, he is insatiable, as long as you can satisfy him, you can control him." But if you can't control him, you have to kill him without hesitation!"
Xu Yi hummed a little song and returned home, before entering the front yard, Huan Yi and Chang Ling and other people surrounded him.
Chang Ling, this little girl is twenty-nine years old, a little older than Li Xiang, but her temperament is even colder than Luo Ming.
"Xu Yi, when did you teach us how to make explosives?" Chang Ling glared at Xu Yi coldly, every time this bastard talked to himself, his eyes were staring at his chest and then looking.
This time was no exception, Xu Yi looked at the undulating waves, and said lightly: "You don't have to learn, Lord County Shou has an order, and tomorrow I will let the Nine Great Clans send another gold craftsman to learn how to make explosives with me!"
Huan Yi and Chang Ling were trembling with anger when they heard this, and Xu Yi hurriedly said: "As for a few of you, just stay with me, in the future, I will set up a Terran Academy of Sciences here, and I will teach you more knowledge, which is a thousand times more powerful than making explosives!"
Li Xiang heard that he was back, and he had been waiting on the side for a long time, and sneered when he heard this: "You bastard, you are a fancy talker, none of them are true, don't believe him!"
With a shake of the brush, Xu Yi put Li Yan's official letter on the front door, Huan Yi and Chang Ling hurriedly put away the spell, this official letter was really stronger than the defensive power of the frost alchemy.
Everyone gathered around in disbelief, and after reading the official letter, Chang Ling couldn't help but squat down and cry.
Xu Yi said inexplicably: "Isn't it just to let you learn knowledge from me? As for crying? Okay, okay, don't cry, I'll show my hand today and let you see the power of knowledge!"
Xu Yi rolled up his sleeves and said: "Who is that, Lao Cheng! Yes, it's you, don't hide, you haven't forgotten the bet between the two of us last time, it just so happens that my microscope has been done, let the students of our Academy of Sciences come to see it for a long time! Everyone come with me!"
