The chariot drove away on the fire cloud, and Tang Luo and his party could finally relax and return to the city.

It's just that this plain is cracked and collapsed because of the battle, so the group plans to go back to the Fox Immortal Temple and back to Xiling.

Along the way, Xu Laoying and Mi Bai talked happily, like old friends for many years.

In this era of martial arts, qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, are all small roads, only martial arts are the highest, but after obtaining a very high quality of life through martial arts, people always have to pursue some spiritual food, such as Xu Laoying, who has loved calligraphy since he was a child, because he feels that the pen and the sword are almost the same.

But having said that, the words written by Xu Laoying are like a dog crawling, which makes him puzzled, obviously every word is written with his heart, and it is neat to look at a single one, how to look at an article but how to look awkward.

Most of the conversation between the two revolved around calligraphy, and Tang Luo and a group of children were groggy to hear.

The pen is lucky, the display is sorted, Xu Laoying has a feeling of hating to see each other late.

"Listening to Brother Bai's words, it's really exciting!" Xu Laoying's peach blossom eyes were full of light, and he had the posture of picking up a pen and writing now.

Bei Bai waved his hand and said: "This is just some of my experience when practicing calligraphy, as long as Brother Xu does not give up practicing calligraphy, the future can be expected." ”

When it comes to calligraphy, scholars always exude a grandmaster bearing, which is convincing.

"It's a pity that Brother Bai has to rush to Qingshui County, otherwise I will have to ask Brother Bai more about calligraphy. Xu Laoying's tone was full of pity.

Tang Luo, who was following behind, asked curiously, "Qingshui-gun, why are you going there?"

Mi Bai turned his head to Tang Luo and said, "I heard that Qingshui County is peaceful and peaceful, and I want to take the children there to beg for a living." ”

When he first saw Tang Luo, his heart was full of resistance, because the Tang family was the culprit behind the destruction of Mijia Village after all.

But after getting along, he found that Tang Luo did not have the domineering appearance of a family member, although he spoke more straightforwardly, he was a good person.

The hatred of the previous generation should not continue to this day, so Mi Bai also returned to a bland attitude towards Tang Luo.

Tang Luo glanced at Beibai, turned the child in his arms into a comfortable position, and said softly: "I'm afraid your decision is a little hasty?"

As soon as these words came out, Mi Bai's face changed dramatically, and he hurriedly asked, "Why did you say this?"

Xu Laoying was also a little puzzled and asked: "I heard that Qingshui County is also a county town that has been peaceful for a long time, and there is a female Bodhisattva-like lady, Mi Bai wants to go there to beg for a living, is there anything wrong?"

Tang Luo looked at the simple Xu Laoying and Mi Bai, and said lightly: "The peace of Qingshui County is all thanks to the strength of Xiling, and this small city is also the most feared by Xiling's force, so the county lord of Qingshui County has to make offerings to the Tang family every year to ensure safety." ”

As the youngest patriarch of the Tang Clan, this is not only a title and honor, but also means that you can attend various important councils of the Tang Clan and read a lot of secrets.

Therefore, he knows the situation in Qingshui County very well.

"Xiling, as the most famous city of peace in the west of Longzhou, has an endless stream of refugees who want to come to Xiling every year to seek a living, but there is not one person who comes to Xiling. Do you think that these people, who have avoided even natural and man-made disasters, will die on the road?"

Tang Luo sneered at the corner of his mouth and said softly.

Xu Laoying thought for a while and replied: "Because of the existence of Xiling in the western part of Longzhou, there has not been a major battle for a long time, maybe that group of refugees saw that the rest of the cities were also very peaceful, so they stayed in other cities." ”

When Mi Bai first heard Tang Luo's words, he was also confused, and he only felt that there was a dangerous place outside, but after listening to Xu Laoying's words, he suddenly felt reasonable, and echoed: "Yes, maybe that group of refugees will live in other cities." ”

"Well, that's reasonable. Tang Luo nodded and asked, "But why hasn't the population of the cities around Xiling grown over the years?" It's a good thing that those children living on the streets have been rescued by a certain clan lady, but why don't you ask where the parents of those children have gone?"

Since the appearance of the Wancheng treasure ship, the Tang Mi Er clan no longer competes with the common people, which is why Xiling is now prosperous. It can be transferred to other cities, and the powerful family is eager to make everything their own, whether it is resources, exercises, or population. The people enshrined at the top of the pyramid suck the blood of the people under the tower.

If you want to see if a city is vibrant, just look at whether its population is growing year by year or stagnating, this simple truth, Tang Luo believes that Xu Laoying can understand that if he really wants Mi Bai to be good, he should not let him go to Qingshui County.

"You mean, those refugees were all detained by the towns around Xiling?" replied Xu Laoying, frowning.

Tang Luo nodded and said lightly: "Reclaim wasteland, build cities and strike iron, and practice martial arts." Population is not enough. ”

"It seems that this Qingshui County is really not a good place to go. Xu Laoying figured out the joint and spoke.

Mi Bai listened to the conversation between Tang Luo and Xu Laoying, his heart was extremely flustered, when he was extremely disappointed in Xiling, Qingshui County was the peaceful holy land in his heart, but now it sounded, where it seemed to be a sinister place, the huge contrast made him can't believe it, and muttered: "No. No, it won't. ”

Tang Luo looked at Bei Bai's confused and painful face and let out a sigh.

Most of the rumors of peace in the outer city are news spread by the wind media of the tavern, but they don't want to think about it, most of this wind media has received money, and the news spread is credible.

If the dark side of Xiling is one, the dark side of the surrounding cities is ten, and in the eyes of the families in the outer cities, civilians are no different from slaves.

If Mi Bai really took this group of children to Qingshui County, he didn't know if there would be anything wrong with this group of children, and if Mi Bai was like this, something would definitely happen.

"Let's stay in Xiling. Xu Laoying said to Mi Bai: "If the righteous qi helps the high-level to die, the Feng family will not come to trouble you again, you can find a place to live on the edge of the city, reclaim a few acres of wasteland and find a job, it should not be a problem to feed this group of children." ”

Mi Bai raised his head, looked at Xu Laoying, and said with a wry smile: "There are rules in Xiling, civilians are not allowed to reclaim wasteland to grow grain. ”

Xu Lao Ying was shocked, he had never heard such a strange rule, and looked at Tang Luo with a gaze full of inquiry.

Tang Luo nodded, indicating that there was indeed such a rule.

Xiling only allows clans to cultivate fields, and there is a limit on the number of acres, and civilians are not allowed to grow grain, unless they rent land from the clan to grow grain.

"Then how does this make the people live?" asked Xu Laoying in disbelief.

Tang Luo said indifferently: "Quarrying, logging, animal husbandry, and carrying bags." Xiling is so big and there are so many clans, you can always find a job. ”

Xu Laoying couldn't believe that Xiling was such a place, where civilians could only buy grain to survive if they couldn't farm, if there was no longer grain for a day, how would these people live?

"That's not right. Xu Laoying looked at Tang Luo and said seriously.

"I know. ”

"If it's not right, change it. ”

Tang Luo pondered for a long time and did not respond.

If you make a mistake, you have to change it? There is nothing wrong with this, but if the person who makes the mistake is too strong to resist.

If he is unwilling to change, who can force him.
