Bai Suzhen has a very shallow impression of Dong Xiaowan, and thinks she is a very beautiful woman with a gentle personality. And this kind of weak woman will generally be grateful to the life-saving benefactor, as long as the benefactor is not too ugly and has no obvious disability, it is easy to develop the urge to make promises.

And Dong Xiaowan's benefactor is Daoran, this is a person who even if he doesn't do anything, just standing there, there will be countless women willing to make a promise.

"He said that he can't use bullying, so it's better for me to come forward, otherwise what's the difference between using a beautiful man and bullying the weak?"

Bai Suzhen happily persuaded herself in this way and decided to negotiate with Dong Xiaowan.

Early the next morning, Dong Xiaowan, who was dressed in an egg yolk gown, came to the painting boat.

Her appearance is still amazing, and her figure is still so beautiful, but today she looks around by the railing, there are many less grievances in the past, and she has a confident smile on her face.

Standing on the side of the boat, Dong Xiaowan showed a nostalgic expression, she hadn't been on the painting boat for several months. Since the establishment of the manor on both sides of the strait, Dong Xiaowan has been busy on the shore and has hardly been on the painting boat.

For the people of Qiandeng River, the river and the shore are already separated by immortals, just like the difference between the fairy world and the mortal.

At this time, the old place was revisited, and Dong Xiaowan couldn't help but think of the day she met Dao Ran for the first time.

Although Dao Ran used a blindfold to change his appearance at that time, Dong Xiaowan had a strange Ji Dong when she saw him for the first time, and there was something else besides her face that was deeply attractive to her.

Later, after a few shocks, Dong Xiaowan found that he was not a human, but a human Gu who had been refined by spells.

This is what hit her the most, in the education she received since childhood, non-human is always not a good thing. Later, she was surprised to find that Dao Ran had no taboo about inhuman things, and even liked them very much.

originally thought that he could stay by Daoran's side, even if it was just to be a maid.

Who would have thought that this holy monk was really so clean and self-conscious, and he was not close to the slightest woman, obviously as long as he had a look, the girl in the painting boat was willing to recommend himself for a pillow seat, but he didn't do anything.

This compassion and nobility made Dong Xiaowan a little ashamed of herself.

Later, the appearance of Bai Suzhen made Dong Xiaowan understand that it was not that Daoran was completely unmoved, but that he was not in his eyes. Compared with that Sister Bai, whether it is appearance or temperament, Dong Xiaowan feels that she has lost.

Life may be like this, there are always many unsatisfactory things. Dong Xiaowan also figured it out later, there is a difference between immortals and mortals, so why bother to force it.

Therefore, Dong Xiaowan devoted himself to cross-strait operations.

Zhu Wei's chamber of commerce is external, while Dong Xiaowan is internal, managing the manor in an orderly manner.

was suddenly summoned by Bai Suzhen today, which made Dong Xiaowan a little apprehensive.

She only has a one-sided relationship with Bai Suzhen, and she only knows that she is the head of Qiandeng River, but she basically doesn't see anyone on weekdays, and she doesn't know what the sudden summoning is for.

For mortals, immortals are always so high that Dong Xiaowan doesn't dare to look at them directly.

However, Dong Xiaowan is also a person who has experienced strong winds and waves, so she calmed down after taking a few deep breaths and walked into the cabin.

Compared with the previous time of doing business, this dragon head painting boat is naturally not so magnificent, many gorgeous decorations have been replaced, although it is much simpler, but it looks very elegant, it can be seen that the person who arranged it has put a lot of thought into it.

….

The hall that was originally a hall of singing and dancing became extremely empty at this time, leaving only a table in the middle, and Bai Suzhen was already waiting here.

Dong Xiaowan hurriedly stepped forward to salute, but she didn't dare to sit opposite Bai Suzhen, looking a little restrained.

Bai Suzhen said to Dong Xiaowan slowly, "Miss Dong doesn't need to be polite, I invite you here today, in fact, I have something to discuss with you."

Seeing that Bai Suzhen said politely, Dong Xiaowan was a little relieved, and said to Bai Suzhen, "Sister, please speak."

Bai Suzhen simply told Dong Xiaowan about Daoran's plan, hoping that she could agree to let the tenant farmers in the manor be literate and practice martial arts.

Dong Xiaowan was originally a little surprised, with Bai Suzhen's status, why should she ask her

A mortal asks for advice. Directly using fairy means, can they still refuse these girls from painting boats?

Bai Suzhen explained: "The stakes are very high, and if this matter is carried forward, I am afraid that the estate will be greatly affected. The Buddha sees that all beings are equal, and we should not only help the tenant farmers, but also consider your ideas."

Dong Xiaowan saw that Bai Suzhen was so solemn, so she seriously pondered everything Bai Suzhen just said. After a moment, Dong Xiaowan frowned and said, "Sister is right, this matter has a great impact on the manor.

"It's not that our sisters don't want to let the farmers live a good life, but if they are literate and martial arts, their pursuit will naturally be greater, and they will no longer be willing to be farmers who work in the fields. When the time comes, we will either keep them for a greater price, or we will find new tenant farmers to work for us."

Bai Suzhen nodded, people go to high places, this is inevitable.

After reading and reading, the horizons will naturally be broadened, and after strengthening the body, clothing, food, housing and transportation will naturally keep up, and this change in desire is also human nature.

Dao Ran also knew that there would be such a change, and he did not ask thousands of tenant farmers to have the heart to study Buddhist scriptures after they were idle, but as long as there were about a dozen, it would be a good start.

A spark can start a prairie fire, as long as there is a beginning, there will be more and more later.

Daoran does not want them to be monks, but to let them become tinder, so that Buddhism can survive among the people, no matter how it is distorted, there are also true scriptures circulating.

Dong Xiaowan said, "Sister Bai, you should know that our sisters are all people who have suffered a lot, and the only thing we can do is the money we get in exchange for our bodies. Nowadays, most of the money has been turned into fields, and this is the foundation of our lives.

"Qiandeng River promotes literacy and martial arts, and it will definitely continue, that is to say, it will be difficult for us to recruit tenant farmers and long-term workers in the future, how will you let our sisters live?"

The output of the field is Dong Xiaowan's biggest source of income, once a large number of tenant farmers leave, their cost of recruiting new people will increase significantly, then their income will be greatly reduced. If there is another disaster, I am afraid that there will be a big problem.

Bai Suzhen smiled and said to Dong Xiaowan, "Miss Dong, the situation you said will indeed occur, the tenant farmers will leave, and they will pursue a better life. But you're getting one thing wrong, and the cost of recruiting new people will not increase, but it will decrease a lot."

Dong Xiaowan asked strangely: "Why did my sister say this, they have a better way out, if we want to keep people, we will naturally have to spend more money, how can we reduce it?"

….

"Because you can recruit new people, the Qiandeng River Chamber of Commerce has opened up the national trade routes, as long as you cooperate with Yaxing, there are countless people in the world who are homeless and have no land to cultivate, and they can replenish new manpower for you at any time.

[Recommended,@

I didn't hesitate."

Bai Suzhen feels a little wrong, this statement of peace of mind is too illusory, a group of hard-working women, how can they be at ease for a lifetime?

"Peace of mind?"

Daoran heard Bai Suzhen's report, and he was also a little confused.

Isn't peace of mind a sense of security?

What Dao Ran is most afraid of is hearing the word security.

When a woman tells you, "I want security," it's probably "I want it all."

But Dong Xiaowan should not be such a person, her so-called peace of mind may be serious.

Dao Ran asked Bai Suzhen, "Sister, what do you think?"

Women understand women better, and Bai Suzhen also thought about this issue carefully, so she said to Daoran: "I also understand why Miss Dong said that she was uneasy, because whether we admit it or not, the entire Qiandeng River is under the protection of you and me. If one day, we are not here. No matter how much money they have, a group of women is not capable of protecting themselves."

Bai Suzhen is talking about a very cruel social reality.

Before Bai Suzhen asked Ran, why are there so many girls around him, Dao Ran replied that he is just a Pudu world, and most of the poor people in the world are women.

Although Daoran was making excuses at the time, this may not be true.

In ancient society, no matter how high the status of women was, they relied on men after all.

Without a strong backer, even the law can't protect these girls.

It is conceivable that once Dao Ran disappears, Qiandeng River will be torn apart and divided by many people who are eyeing him, and it is absolutely impossible to resist Zhu Wei as the president of the Chamber of Commerce.

….

Moreover, their methods are also legitimate, and they can definitely make people unreasonable.

In this society, it is difficult for women to survive independently, even if they are rich and can hire home bodyguards, but if there is no other backer at all, these home bodyguards will become vicious wolves that bite back.

But on the other hand, as long as there is one person in Qiandeng River, most of these problems can be solved.

The rules of this world are so interesting, even if it is just a powerless scholar who becomes the master of the Thousand Lights River, others will have scruples.

Because this is the unspoken rule, when a man is the master of the house, many means cannot be used indiscriminately, but when dealing with women, they can not follow the rules.

The world is so cruel, Dong Xiaowan's worries are not unreasonable.

Daoran sighed and said, "It's a pity, Zhu Wei didn't marry Dong Xiaowan."

Zhu Wei is in the right eye with Master Li, and married Master Li as a concubine, although it is said to be a concubine, but Zhu Wei is not ready to marry a wife, Master Li is the wife of the president of the Chamber of Commerce.

But Master Li lacks prestige on the other girls' side, and Zhu Wei can only be a good partner, but he can't be a person from Qiandeng River.

This feeling of separation will make the rich women of Qiandeng River uneasy, and they feel that Zhu Wei is not 100% reliable.

Therefore, the best solution is to let Dong Xiaowan find a wishful man.

A man with ability and responsibility, marrying Dong Xiaowan, many hidden troubles in Qiandeng River can be solved.

However, even the gatekeepers of Qiandeng River knew that Dong Xiaowan had only one person in her heart, and it was impossible for that person to marry her.

After all, immortals are different.

Bai Suzhen looked at Dao Ran, who was frowning and thinking hard, and felt pantothenic acid in her heart. In fact, as long as Daoran gives Dong Xiaowan a promise, things will be fine. But if you really do this, I'm afraid you'll be the one who feels uncomfortable.

What's more, Dao Ran is still a monk.

Yes, that's right, a monk can't move his heart, Dong Xiaowan's girl can't even think about it.

Bai Suzhen would rather be in the era of the end of the law than let Dao Ran move his heart to ruin his cultivation.

But unexpectedly, Daoran quickly thought of another way and said to Bai Suzhen, "They just have absolutely no way to protect themselves, and they don't necessarily need a man. In that case, why don't we let them have the power to protect themselves?"

"Self-preservation?

」

Bai Suzhen was a little strange.

"Yes, self-preservation, if they also know magic, how can mortals hurt them? Is this a solution once and for all?"

Bai Suzhen said, "This is impossible, how can it be so simple to practice. I've seen these girls, and most of them aren't even suitable for martial arts."

Not to mention that cultivation requires extremely high talent, just exercising muscles and bones and staying up to strength requires laying a solid foundation. These girls are all born in the painting boat, and have been trained in various dances since childhood, but the dance on the painting boat is injured, in order to make the body soft, their bones are brittle, and now they have long been stereotyped, and it is impossible to practice martial arts.

Unless, Dao Ran directly took out dozens of peaches and replenished their bodies, so that it was possible to practice good martial arts.

But martial arts alone are far from enough.

Only by becoming a cultivator and completely distinguishing oneself from mortals can one be regarded as having the power of self-preservation.

Dao Ran shook his head and said, "There's no need to be so troublesome, they don't need to be able to practice, as long as they can use spells."

Bai Suzhen is even more confused, she can't cultivate, she can't refine the aura of heaven and earth and turn it into her own mana, how can she use spells?

Dao Ran said mysteriously, "This is just a preliminary idea, and it can't be solved so quickly, I originally thought that I would wait for three or five years and then arrange it slowly. Now that it's time for the meeting, I will let Xuanjizi work overtime and strive to produce results within half a year.

"As for the promotion of literacy and martial arts, it will be implemented according to the original plan for the time being, and the girls should not object in the short term."

The two discussed, and the plan was finalized.

And counting the days, the *** held by Pang Taishi is also coming.

The position of the commander of the Beidou Guard also has a pivotal position in this catastrophe, and Dao Ran is too busy now, so he can only hope that Shenxiu can give some strength.

The little monk is dedicated to returning to the world.
