"I took a rough inventory and found that there are quite a few things that need to be done now." Zhang Yuan clasped his hands around his chest, leaned on the table and said, "First of all, there is a problem of manpower, and now we can only gather it near Xishan City first." According to my observations, the upper echelons of Shicheng are relatively lax in the management of Mucheng and outside Mucheng, which is a favorable condition, and I will leave the specific implementation to Taimeng. ”

"Okay, boss, I'll take care of this for you." Tae said as he patted his chest.

Zhang Yuan glared at this unserious guy and warned: "The most worrying thing for me is that you guy, you usually pay more attention to me when you go out." Remember, you should never go near the area around Stone City, and you should be careful not to be recognized when you are in Wooden City. ”

Now that everything is created, there are few people, and Zhang Yuan is reluctant to lose anyone. Tai Meng saw Zhang Yuan's serious appearance, and quickly nodded frantically like a chicken pecking rice, assuring Zhang Yuan that he would pay attention.

"In addition, we don't have any kind of income now, and without money, we can't grow at all, let alone realize our business." Zhang Yuan couldn't help but raise his hand and rub his brows when he said this, food, equipment, medicine, these things all cost money to buy, and Shen Cheng on the side also nodded with a worried face when he heard this.

Tai Meng showed that he was not worried at all, and said, "It's okay, boss, just take the amount of money directly from my house." ”

"It's not as simple as you say." Shen Ying shook his head and answered Tai Meng's words for Zhang Yuan, "What you see is only the five of us, and then we may have ten, twenty or even more." When we develop, it will not be a small amount for people to eat horses and chew, and it is a drop in the bucket to rely only on the help of the owner of the Taizhuang. ”

Zhang Yuan listened to Shen Ying's words and bowed his head slightly, turned to Tai Meng and continued: "But I have an immature idea, isn't the grange of the owner of Taizhuang planted with crops eaten by silk slaves?" Do you think we can not sell these crops to the Mucheng side, we will find a way to raise silk slaves ourselves, and even the spinning and weaving of cloth will be covered, and we will rely on the sale of cloth to maintain the finances? ”

"No, boss. The risk of raising silk slaves is too high, every silk frame needs someone to watch, and often there are problems with silk slaves if they are not careful. As for the technology of weaving with silk silk, all of them are in the hands of the nobles of Shicheng, and we have no way to get them. Tae said with a shake of his head.

Originally, it was a negative word, but Zhang Yuan's eyes lit up when he heard half of it, and he quickly looked at Shen Ying, only to find that the other party's eyes were radiating the same brilliance as him. Zhang Yuan excitedly patted Tai Meng's shoulder and said, "Just look at me, although Tai Meng is usually unreliable, sometimes he can say it." ”

"I, what did I say?" Looking at Zhang Yuan, who was dancing, Tai Meng asked with a confused expression.

"Well, don't you understand? You said that the technology of weaving is in the hands of those nobles in Shicheng, then this technology, it must have a carrier, it may be a book, it may be a machine, in short, it must be some kind of entity. And don't we have a ready-made flying thief here now? Zhang Yuan smiled and explained to Tai Meng that as long as there is Shen Cheng, the Star Moon System Snitch, stealing a technology or something is a trivial matter.

After talking to Taimeng, Zhang Yuan turned to Shen Ying and asked, "If this matter is handed over to you, is there any difficulty?" ”

Shen Cheng spread his hands, and the word relaxed was almost like written on his face: "There shouldn't be anything tricky, it's just that I need to spend some time to prepare, after all, I don't know how big it is to come back." If it's really some kind of machine, I think it's better to analyze it on the spot and bring it back. ”

"Okay, stay safe. Also, don't leave any traces, otherwise it will be a sin if you implicate the owner of the Taizhuang. Although Zhang Yuan believed in Shen Cheng's ability, he couldn't help but instruct the other party two sentences.

After communicating with Shen Cheng for the second time, Zhang Yuan obviously felt that the other party was much more active in the affairs of the team, and changed from a semi-spectator to a real participant. This is naturally what Zhang Yuan is happy to see, but now Zhang Yuan still has one more thing on his mind, that is, Xuan Zijun who was brought out by them.

Since Xuan Zijun woke up, he was like a demon, he had been sitting there not knowing what to think, and the food served to him had not been touched until now. Zhang Yuan also ended the discussion at this time, and after sending the other people away, he pulled over a stool and sat opposite Xuan Zijun.

"Hey, hey, hey." Zhang Yuan stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Xuan Zijun, who raised his head to look at Zhang Yuan with a blank expression.

Seeing that Xuan Zijun was stunned there and didn't speak, Zhang Yuan shook the other party's shoulder again. Xuan Zijun looked at Zhang Yuan's eyes and then had an obvious look, he looked at Zhang Yuan blankly and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"No, I'm just here to ask you, what's next?"

"Plans, my plans?" Xuan Zijun repeated what Zhang Yuan said, and then shook his head sadly and said, "I don't know, my head is a mess now, I don't know what to do, I don't know, I don't know, woo woo woo......"

Shen Cheng didn't know when he had stood behind Zhang Yuan, and he opened his mouth and shouted, "Boss." ”

"Well, why are you still here?" Zhang Yuan turned around and asked in some surprise.

"I knew what you were going to do when you told us to leave. Boss, every conversation you've had so far has been with someone alone, which isn't really a good practice. Just like in this situation, since we have decided to make Xiao Xuan our partner, then each of us has an obligation to help him. ”

Zhang Yuan bit his lip, smiled a little embarrassedly, and said, "Okay, I'm sorry to leave you all aside, you can pull a stool over and sit together, let's see how to talk to Xiao Xuan." ”

After Shen Cheng sat down, he looked at Xuan Zijun, who was holding his head in front of him, and said, "No, you can't communicate with him normally in this situation, you have to calm him down first." ”

I saw Shen Ying's palm facing down, and his fingertips clasped a white light cluster, and he tapped the light ball on Xuan Zijun's shoulder, and the latter's body was immediately shocked, and it seemed that the magic trick had played an effect. Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yuan found that the white light cluster had disappeared, but Xuan Zijun's body was surrounded by soft light, and the whole person was shrouded in a peaceful glow.

"How?" Zhang Yuan couldn't help but ask.

Shen Cheng said without raising his head: "He has been bound by the rules for a long time, playing the strictest enforcer of order, and it can be said that those rules and regulations are the whole of his world." But the recent experience has clearly taken him out of all the rules, he has seen that there are people in this world, and we have given him another dose of medicine to bring him out of the prison he sees as the shape of order. ”

"So we destroyed his original world with our own hands?" Zhang Yuan touched his chin and muttered, if it was really himself who caused Xuan Zijun's worldview to collapse, then no matter what the other party was, he couldn't sit idly by. In other words, since the matter of redeeming Xuan Zijun has already been started by Zhang Yuan, it has become an obligation to make up for the remaining unfinished parts.

"Boss, you don't have to blame yourself for this, there is nothing wrong with us saving him from his wrong perception." Sweat was slowly oozing from Shen Cheng's forehead, "But he obviously couldn't accept such enlightenment for a while, like, there is a tree in front of your house, and you know it's a tree because everyone tells you so." But if one day, half of the people around you start saying it's a flower, and the other half still say it's a tree, you will start to waver and doubt. ”

As Shen Cheng spoke, the light on Xuan Zijun's body had begun to gradually retreat, and seeing that the other party was no longer moaning, Shen Cheng withdrew his hand and continued: "He is now facing not one or two such judgments, and there is no reference here that allows him to distinguish between right and wrong, so he can only fall into endless confusion and pain. Fortunately, I have stabilized his emotions, but it has only temporarily deprived him of the ability to doubt and freed him from right and wrong. Boss, take advantage of this gap to guide his thinking on the right path! ”

Zhang Yuan nodded, turned his face to Xuan Zijun, and opened his mouth to call, "Xiao Xuan." ”

"Ah, Zhang Yuan, what's the matter?" Xuan Zijun raised his head and asked with a normal expression, and there was no longer that painful look between his eyebrows.

Looking at Xuan Zijun's sincere eyes, Zhang Yuan knew that he had to be cautious in every word he said next, because the current Xuan Zijun did not have the ability to doubt. If what he said to Xuan Zijun was mixed with some strong personal colors, then after the magic lasted for a long time, the other party would either fall into deeper chaos or form another complete set of wrong worldviews.

After thinking about it again, Zhang Yuan still met Xuan Zijun's gaze and said firmly: "I want to talk to you about some topics about rules." I know that you have always been serious about following the rules, but the rules you believe in should not be a certain person or a certain group, because there is no independent person or thing in this world that can interpret all the rules. As long as you believe in a rule, then you yourself become a part of that rule and have the responsibility to correct its irrationality! ”

After recalling what he had just said in his mind, and after confirming that there was no big problem, Zhang Yuan continued: "The law stipulates that it is guilty of hurting people, and you obey this kind of law not because the law says so, but because you recognize that it is correct, and this rule is indeed reasonable. But if there is a law that says that hurting others is not guilty, you should also be soberly aware that it is wrong, and look at the question of whether you can hurt others according to the justice of your own heart.

So your chief can't represent justice, the mine prison can't represent justice, and I'm the same, only what you pursue in your own heart can represent justice. The premise of your observance of the rules is that you approve of them, and just because the mines and prisons treat slave workers like pigs and dogs, you should realize that what is represented there is a broken rule, which enforces false justice, which is contrary to the truth expected of every ordinary person in this world, and which you must abandon! ”

Xuan Zijun listened to Zhang Yuan's words, looked at the latter blankly, and said, "I ......"

"Shen Cheng, can you cancel the magic now?"

"Okay."

The moment the magic was lifted, Xuan Zijun's pupils were obviously open, obviously his thoughts were impacted. Soon he reacted to Zhang Yuan's words just now: "But, but if my commander and the place I stay don't represent the rules, what are the real rules?" ”

"You, yourself, can represent the rules, it's just that you don't want to believe that." Zhang Yuan stared at Xuan Zijun and said, "You once became a regular soldier because of your meritorious service as a militia to suppress bandits, which shows that you had a true heart of justice at that time and had the courage to fight against mistakes." But when you were at the bottom of the mine, you didn't dare to be the one who led everyone, and you even believed whatever I said, which shows that you have always regarded the rules as something that exists independently of you. ”

"I, I'm outside the rules?" Xuan Zijun said incredulously.

"No, you're not outside the rules, what you breathe, what you stand, every proof that you exist is also proof that you live in the rules. It's just that what you see is not the rules that belong to you, but the rules that belong to someone else, and that's why you have a conflict with the world. ”

Zhang Yuan said and stretched out his hand: "I know, it's a bit difficult to figure this question through at once, but you can learn to think about what justice is with your own will first." So, would you like to join us in our search for true justice? ”

"I, I...... I do! ”
