Chapter Ninety-Three: Governing People and Omens
At the beginning of the lanterns, the simple and unpretentious government is also decorated with splendor, in addition to the torch sentry post in the outer corner of the village, some colored lanterns are also added.
Compared with the downscale and simplicity when Li He first came, it has been greatly improved now.
Under the merchant trade, Li Li, as the main person in charge, purchased a batch of decorations for the government and renovated the houses.
Although some of the arrangements seem to be inconsistent with the style of the palace, they are a little more ornate and easy to despise after looking at them, but they have little effect.
In this world of the Dao Law, what can I really detect with the ordinary soldiers stationed there? If the strange attack that Liu Ruhua didn't even notice was coming, even if it reached the walled tower, I am afraid that no one would find it.
Instead of that, it's better to put on some nice decorations to ease the tension and give everyone a little courage. As long as they look at the lights of the mansion, the people of Lingmin will not be worried and afraid, and they will be able to calm down.
Li He was dressed in green clothes and climbed to the top of the building along the walled road, where the view was the broadest, and he could have a full view of the situation in Kuchaling.
Of course, it can't be compared with the top of the bitter tea spiritual spring, but this place can better see the appearance of the people in the mountains.
In addition to the original main street, two auxiliary roads were extended, one leading to the market and the other to the busy area.
After nightfall, the lights of ordinary people's homes are extinguished, but the newly built prosperous area is brightly lit and people come and go.
There are many foreign merchants, hired guards, restaurants, hook fences, casinos, although the sparrows are small, people indulge in them, drunk and dreaming of death.
Li He looked at it, and suddenly said, "Was it the same for Li Zhen before?" ”
A woman walked out of the darkness, dressed in a floral cloth skirt, wearing gold, silver and jade ornaments, but at a glance it seemed to be unharmed by the day, really born beautiful, rich and noble, that kind of grace is difficult for ordinary people to compare.
Some women are not bad-looking, they wear heavy makeup, wear gold and silver, and are more charming, and even the kung fu of observing words and emotions and understanding has long been perfected, but they can't learn this indifference.
It is a natural reincarnation technique, a wealthy family, accustomed to the power of wealthy families, and there is no shortage of wealth, so that this Qinggao can be raised. However, if it is only like this, it is just a caged finch and a golden silk bird, which can only be used as a collection, and if it is truly intelligent, it must have the courage to survive in a desperate situation.
Li Li looked at the slightly bustling area, blinked, and just wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Li He: "I want to hear the truth." ”
Li Li was silent for a while, and then said: "Compared to ordinary Lingdi, it may be better, but compared to Li Zhen, it is very different. ”
She said it very bluntly, just that this is the slum. After all, Li He was once the heir of the big family of Li Town, and he had seen the prosperity of Li Town, a town of tens of thousands of people, and a mountain range of thousands of people, there was no need to compare it at all.
However, Li He still asked, what does it mean? Want to hear compliments, perhaps?
After all, male creatures are competitive by nature and like to show off in front of the opposite sex. In particular, her special status can highlight her desire to conquer.
However, Li Li also has to inherit people, Li He is definitely a masterpiece of Li Zhen.
When he was persecuted, he came to Kuchaling in poverty, and when he heard that he had just arrived, he was attacked by a bad omen, and he carried it alive. Integrate the territory, discover auspiciousness, honor the lord of the alliance, clear the danger, build a strong enough defense force, and most importantly, cultivate to be successful.
Eight Rank Taoist Priest, how amazing and glamorous is this? Even in the original Li Town, he was the best, not to mention that he was so young and talented, no one knew what he would achieve in the future.
Maybe the disaster in Li Zhen can really be solved by Li He, and it is not impossible.
Therefore, when she heard the request of the mountains to discuss during the day, she couldn't help it, after all, no matter how she hid it, she would never forget the bloody storm that day.
If the mountains work together and the Lord of the Li Mansion takes the lead, maybe ......
As if he hadn't noticed Li Liming's expression, Li He continued to ask: "I heard that this prosperous area was also established by you, and everyone was more cautious at the beginning.
Later, it was released, and the flowers that should be played and spent, although the stores were unofficial, they also relied on taxes to get the lion's share. ”
Listening to Li He's emotionless inquiry, Li Li hesitated, but still replied: "In this kind of entertainment place, the government is not suitable for direct appearance, but it needs to be controlled indirectly.
The main person is a local merchant of Kucha, and he has an inextricable relationship with the official shop, and Zhen Hao also acts as a mediator in it to ensure that he will not get out of control. ”
Li He shook his head and said, "You did a good job in this matter, I just want to hear it, why do you think you want to build these venues, you must have also experienced the turmoil in Li Town, do you think that the threat of bad omens has receded?" ”
Li Li looked at Li He, and his eyes gradually brightened: "No, I know very well that the danger of bad omen is only lurking, and it has not disappeared, and even the current prosperity of Kuchaling is only on a fragile wooden platform, which may be subverted at any time."
However, it was precisely because I experienced the night of Li Zhen that I realized that the string in the hearts of these displaced and fleeing people was almost at the limit.
Every night when I rest, I will close my eyes and think of the terrifying paper figures, the sky is full of blood, and the endless ghouls seem to come to me in the next moment, devouring the living alive. Even the closest people turned into strange and kept approaching. ”
As he spoke, Li Li's body trembled slightly, and his voice was a little hoarse.
"There is a way, but in front of them, they are as powerless as an ant, and they may be crushed to death at any time.
This burden accumulates until one day, when it is really uncontrollable, it will go crazy and crazy, and even death cannot stop the uncontrollable emotions.
So they need to vent, they need to indulge, if it's peaceful, there can be a better solution, but now the danger is at stake, and the internal and external realms are not friendly.
As I said, the construction of Kuchaling may be good, but the wanderers from the outside will naturally not have a high sense of satisfaction.
Rather than letting them get out of control, it is better to guide them and give them hope again. This hope may be temporary, even toxic, but the desperate are willing to accept it. ”
Li He's eyes were dark, and he could even see the men and women with blank eyes on the side of the fence, but smiling, they squandered the spirit coins, but begged for a spring supper.
"Secular, but effective.
If they just raise money and worry about food every day, their survival is not guaranteed, and they are not far from the walking dead.
It doesn't matter if this vent is alcohol, gambling or something else, it does need channels, because banning them will have more explosions.
But this is not a long-term way after all, if people can live happily, without fear, can achieve their goals through fair efforts, can be needed, who wants to go crazy and be an outsider? ”
Li Li also admitted: "Treating the symptoms is not the root cause, and the bad omen must be solved after all." ”
Li He looked at the slightly prosperous ridge, but his face did not contain a trace of emotion: "In the daytime, all the mountains invite the alliance, presumably you all have thoughts in your hearts, thinking that if you gather the land of the mountains and call for bitter tea, you can destroy the rye ridge in a devastated manner, completely solve the food problem, and establish the status of the leader of the alliance."
However, as you said, there is a limit to what people can endure, and sometimes they have to make some compromises, but this is not the case with bad signs.
It's eroding, spreading, and coming in ways you never expect. We need to be tolerant of living beings. But for bad signs, we have to be vigilant all the time, to perceive the hidden veins, to perceive the breath of calamity, they are all foremen. ”
Beside Li He, I don't know when a woman in red appeared, she didn't touch the dust, she looked like a fairy, even if she looked dressed in gaudy clothes, she also suppressed Li Li's nobility.
Before walking to the walled tower, Ruhua drew a paper painting in the air.
Kuchaling, which glows in the dark, Li Town, which is hidden in the corner, and the desolate post road is littered with strange paper figures, but what is different from the past.
A new ridge appeared on the side, the ground was barren, and in a certain cave, there was a faint smell of smoke wafting, gathering the sound of repeated prayers.
Madness, madness!
