Before the rainy season in the south of the Yangtze River, the main force of the 200,000 troops of the three major battalions of the Beijing camp began to march in a mighty way.

It is said that it is the main force, but in fact, it is mainly the infantry of the five military battalions.

Because before this, the Shenji Battalion led by Liu Sheng as the chief soldier, as well as the sappers who were responsible for opening roads and building bridges in the mountains, had already set off one step ahead.

Although the Shenji Battalion is the smallest of the three battalions and is equipped with a large number of mules and horses, it can be regarded as a mule and horse firearms unit, but the marching speed is still worrying.

The reason is also very simple, that is, the road surface is not good, and from Nanjing to Beijing, this way through the Huanghuai Plain often need to cross the river, cross the river to take the bridge, no bridge to build a bridge, often wait for several days.

And now mules and horses pull the vehicle, the wheels are all wood, is the use of spokes and rim to strengthen the wheels, the passability is not strong, if there are rubber tires will greatly increase the marching rate, but unfortunately not.

Nanyang does have natural rubber, and some of it has been brought back, but the craftsmen in Nanjing have not yet studied how to use natural rubber to make tires.

But it doesn't matter if you go a little slower, anyway, the Shenji Battalion will leave first.

Needless to say, the three thousand battalions were mostly cavalry, and the speed of the march was certainly not comparable to that of the infantry walking on their feet, so they were divided into two parts, one part of which was to advance with the five battalions, responsible for reconnaissance and covering the flanks, and the other part was responsible for the rear of the palace.

In fact, the choice of this time is not the best.

The best time to do this is in the spring, after the snow and ice melt, when the ground begins to regain its hardness and not get too hot.

Unfortunately, this year's weather was not normal, the spring rains came early, and the ground was muddy, so we were forced to delay the march until the end of spring and early summer.

This is the final window, and while the weather will be hotter and lead to some non-combat attrition, it's better than marching in the rain, which would be hellish.

For the work of clearing the fields around Nanjing all the way to the entire Nanzhili, the work of clearing the fields of Xungui was carried out quite smoothly, and before the northern expedition of the army, it had been basically completed.

Relying on the clear fields, the imperial court obtained land wealth calculated in 10,000 acres.

These fields were not directly allocated to the Huangzhuang, because there was also a problem involved, that is, the land had the original owner.

But this problem has to be looked at from a different angle, it doesn't mean that you claimed that you used to be the owner of this land, and then you were taken by Xungui, and this land will not be repaid to you now.

Because there's also a certification thing in it.

Many lands have no information about the transaction, and some of the parties have died, and in the face of these borderless lands, many people have coveted them and come to claim them.

So it's very difficult to identify clearly, but Jiang Xinghuo always has a way.

The solution is also very simple, since the land has been seized by the nobles, then it is likely that they are tenant farmers who do not have their own land, or yeoman farmers who have started again through hard work and luck and have a small amount of land.

Therefore, these lands are now under the ownership of the royal family, so the royal family will return the land that can be traced back to the previous landowner's information, combined with the family's declaration, to the hands of these tenant farmers who have lost their land due to the occupation of the powerful, and the lease period ranges from three to five years, compared with farming for the landlord, the rent is not high, and after the lease period, the land will return to the hands of the "original owner".

The question here is what happens if the land is not leased and cultivated by the original owner, but has been claimed by someone in various ways?

It is also simple, because the declared family cannot have more than five acres of land under its name, which must be strictly verified, and it must also be combined with land transaction information that can be traced back to the past.

If you can complete the claim under such conditions, and cultivate for three and five years, and pay the land rent on time, then even if you give these few acres of land, what can you do?

Because those who can complete the fraudulent claim under such harsh conditions are actually micro-landowners or simply sharecroppers, for such people, it is not a bad thing to let them own more land after their own labor, but it can discourage land annexation.

As for the remaining land, which could not be traced back to the landowner and was not claimed, it was leased to tenant farmers for cultivation as a royal estate, and the royal family collected the rent on time.

There are two reasons why it is under the name of the royal family, not the imperial court.

First, it is the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the era of "I am the state", and the royal family has de jure ownership of all land.

Second, from the present point of view, in the next thirty or forty years, it will be much more efficient for land to be handed over to the royal family than to the civilian court.

Because these emperors in the early Ming Dynasty basically did not indulge in personal enjoyment, profligate mediocre monarchs, for their own country to spend money, is very willing to spend, this is why the early Ming Dynasty internal money and the warehouse are managed by the household department, so the rent is collected into the internal money, when the household department needs to use, as long as the emperor nods, it can be used directly, not even "borrowed", can only be regarded as the emperor's own contribution to the state use, these money do not need to be with the civil officials, very convenient.

For these two reasons, industrial assets, including workshops and workshops, were placed under the royal family.

The royal family, the clan, the nobles, and the military ministers constituted the main supporting forces of the first industrial revolution of the Ming Dynasty.

These interest groups benefited greatly from the dumping of goods from the Industrial Revolution, and at the same time, foreign expansion also satisfied their demand for military merit.

In fact, if it is a Wenchen who has received a traditional Confucian education to become the country, then there is a high probability that it will repeat the situation of the Sanyang government in the Renxuan period in Jiang Xinghuo's previous life, that is, the overall external contraction, the light on the small endowment, the reduction of unnecessary military expenditures, and the implementation of the policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business.

In this way, the civil officials and doctors were able to achieve the state state that the gentry class most coveted, without war, without trouble, without the need for forced labor, and at the same time collecting less taxes, all wealth was produced from the land under their control, and the main body of the economy was naturally able to control the temple through the imperial examination.

Therefore, don't look at Jiang Xinghuo's main efforts in the temple, but the power of the Fa Changing Sect is still not strong.

Therefore, these riches were handed over to the royal family, and the big bloodsampire was the main beneficiary, which could not only strengthen his determination to support the reform, but also ensure that in the next twenty years, the money could basically be used at any time after meeting the needs of the big bloodsuckers such as "the Northern Expedition, the construction of Beijing City, the repair of the Yongle Grand Canon, and the Western Ocean", which was already the optimal solution.

Jiang Xinghuo thinks about this very openly, it is definitely unrealistic to put it in his pocket, and although Zhu Di is very able to spend money, can you say that any of these things he spends money on are useless? Definitely not.

So since the money has to be spent anyway, in addition to opening up a lot, it is to reduce expenditure and avoid waste.

And Jiang Xinghuo's next step is to pick money from taxes.

On the one hand, it is necessary to extend the work of clearing fields to the entire Nanzhili, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and Huanghuai, and on the other hand, it is necessary to start the pilot project of tax guards in the countryside from Nanzhili, so as to put an end to the greed of the bottom in the tax collection.

"When I go out this time, it will be more than a month, and the long will be three or two months, and you will have to take on more responsibilities for the things in the yamen."

Upstairs in Heming, Jiang Xinghuo looked at the scenery of the willows in the distance and said to Xu Jingchang.

In fact, in the president's legal affairs yamen, Yao Guangxiao, who is in charge of the commercial department, and Zhao Yi, who is in charge of the city's shipping department, have both gone on a business trip to Zhejiang, and Jiang Xinghuo is going to Jiangnan again, and only the young Xu Jingchang is the largest.

Now Xu Jingchang's title is the Duke of Dingguo, the military rank is a one-star general, and the title is Qincheng Zuye Tui Cheng Fengyi Wuchen, Special Jin Ronglu Doctor, Right Pillar Country, and 2,500 stones.

Throughout Xu Jingchang's life, if there are no major changes, then he is responsible for building the Fengyang Imperial Mausoleum and palace, taking charge of a certain governor's mansion, being responsible for garrisoning the rear, and accompanying the driver to follow the personal expedition, and there is no great work such as pioneering work, but he is diligent and studious, and the affairs assigned to him can be completed well.

You can't seem to expect Xu Jingchang to do anything big, but you can always trust that Xu Jingchang will do the little things he has explained well.

So after half a year of observation and remarks, Jiang Xinghuo felt that it should be no problem to let Xu Jingchang take care of the house for two months.

After all, he is a national prince, although he is the most rookie in the country, but he is also a national prince!

If you don't use Xu Jingchang and use someone else, what does Xu Jingchang think?

Therefore, since Xu Jingchang is a stable boy and has no problem guarding the house, Jiang Xinghuo also handed over the task to him.

"Yes, Teacher."

Xu Jingchang took a deep breath and did not question himself, but bravely took the task.

The catkins were flying all over the city, but Xu Jingchang had no time to enjoy these scenes, because there were more important things at the moment, and he asked, "Does the teacher have anything to explain?" ”

After Zhu Di left Nanjing City with a large number of noble and military ministers, Jiang Xinghuo consciously or unconsciously relaxed, he got up and held on to the railing of the third floor of the Heming Tower, and looked into the distance by the railing.

These restaurants run by the imperial court are all under the management of the Ministry of Rites, and they usually have good business and even need to make an appointment to queue, and this floor is the highest, and the view is also the best, and you can see half of Nanjing City from a high vantage point.

The chai car helped Jiang Xinghuo make an appointment on the first floor, but he had shown his face once in Song Li's place before, and the junior official who was in charge of managing the Teaching Department belonged to the more proficient ones, so he was directly transferred to the third floor with the best view, half of which was a box and half a terrace, which was more private and convenient for conversation.

Jiang Xinghuo usually doesn't come to this kind of place to participate in banquets, but this time is the first time he has been serious, and after insisting on paying, he can be regarded as having an experience.

In this era, because buildings have regulatory requirements, especially the height, it is very taboo, so in addition to this kind of restaurant built and operated by the imperial court itself, the folk restaurant and teahouse are not so high.

Jiang Xinghuo didn't explain anything to Xu Jingchang, but asked, "Do you say it's good to stand so high?" ”

"It's cold in the heights."

Xu Jingchang hesitated for a moment and replied.

The reason is this truth, his own ability is not outstanding, and he is young, all relying on the shadow of his father, coupled with the care of his teacher Jiang Xinghuo, he has the opportunity to reach this position at this age.

To put it bluntly, he, the prince of the country, is actually the same as the prince that Zhang Fu can get in the future, both of them are the fathers who sacrificed their lives for the sake of appeasement, and they have made great contributions to Zhu Di's ascension to the throne, Zhu Di has to remember this merit and treat them preferentially, otherwise, it will chill the hearts of others, and no one will follow Zhu Di.

But for Xu Jingchang, there is a feeling of unworthiness.

However, this kind of thing, people are sharpened in position, as long as there is talent, whether it can match the position is only a matter of time.

For the vast majority of ordinary people, in fact, the most important thing is not whether they have talent, but that they can't reach a position similar to Xu Jingchang at all.

"If you stand tall, you can see far."

Jiang Xinghuo said slowly: "There is a law trial temple on the legislative side, and you don't need to worry about the treasury bonds and banks, what you have to focus on, in addition to the production of low-phosphorus steel and concrete in your own hands, is the development progress of flint." As for other things, there is a lot of chaos in the ideological circles now, but you don't have to worry about it, and someone is responsible for the promotion of science, so you don't have to pay too much attention to the yamen. ”

"But there's one thing I'm going to explain to you."

Jiang Xinghuo summoned Xu Jingchang, and whispered in his ear: "If there is news of Emperor Jianwen when I am not in Nanjing, you must inform me quickly." ”

Xu Jingchang's heart trembled.

Two years ago, there was a fire, and the life and death of Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen were unknown.

Externally, it must be claimed that Emperor Jianwen is dead, otherwise Zhu Di will not be able to sit on the throne.

But in fact, as long as anyone who knows a little bit of the inside story knows that Emperor Jianwen did not find the body at all.

You know, even if it's a fire, you can't leave all the corpses, and you won't even have bones and dregs left.

To put it mildly, even if it is a crematorium with high temperature treatment in a confined space, it is impossible to wipe out the ashes of human refining, not to mention that the palace originally has fireproof design and materials, even if it is deliberately arson, the overall structure is almost complete in the end, which is inevitable, designers and craftsmen do professional work, don't use the nine clans to challenge their professionalism.

So there is only one truth - Emperor Jianwen is not dead at all.

The previous emperor didn't die, he couldn't be found, and he disappeared for two years without realizing it, and although everyone tacitly kept silent about it, it was an open secret after all.

And since Jiang Xinghuo clearly told Xu Jingchang in this kind of private space, and deliberately emphasized this point, it shows that from Jiang Xinghuo's information source, Emperor Jianwen is definitely not dead and may be found.

"Understood."

——————

Before leaving Nanjing for a short business trip, Jiang Xinghuo went to inspect the workshop area again, and visited Jingqing's two daughters, and also went to the Great Heavenly Realm Temple to see the little beggar he picked up from the roadside last winter.

The children are growing up very well, and the little beggar has no father or mother, and he lives and practices with his brothers and sisters in the temple, which can be regarded as a stable life.

When he returned home, Jiang Xinghuo also had to say a short goodbye to his relatives and friends.

Jiang Xuan was packing his bags, a change of clothes, underwear, shoes and socks, as well as his daily necessities and some necessities.

The little milk cat sent from the Wei Mansion has now changed its appearance in a blink of an eye, and has become long, and it is sleeping hard at this time, I don't know what I dreamed of, and its tail is shaking.

When Jiang Xinghuo entered the door, the cat on the windowsill was awakened, and he was not afraid of him, and his whole body arched and yawned.

"Meow~"

Jiang Xinghuo rubbed its head with the palm of his hand, and the kitten jumped and ran away.

"Brother, when are you coming back?" Jiang Xuan asked, she was in a good mood these days, because the school had a few days off.

This is the case with young people, who look forward to the holidays when they go to school, but if they stay at home for a few more days, I am afraid that she will want to go to school.

"It is estimated that it will not be long before supervising the collection of summer taxes, and then going to Zhejiang to see the construction of the business road, and then going to Ningbo City to take a walk, and finally coming back by boat from Ningbo, a month or two?" Jiang Xinghuo thought for a while and said.

Jiang Xuan nodded: "Then you pay attention to your body and come back early." ”

"Don't worry, at most toss a little, Li Jinglong is coming back with the soldiers soon, and there will be no accident with the heavy troops."

Jiang Xinghuo rubbed her sister's head, and Jiang Xuan dodged away, because she always felt that Jiang Xinghuo's posture was the same as touching a cat, and she was not a cat.

"By the way, brother, are you free when you come back, let's go out and have fun together!" Jiang Xuan suddenly remembered something and said.

"Where to play?" Jiang Xinghuo asked curiously.

The word "play" is unfamiliar to Jiang Xinghuo like a thing in his previous life.

"Of course I went to Yangzhou, didn't you promise me to take me last time?" Jiang Xuan said excitedly.

"Okay."

Jiang Xinghuo thought about it, Yangzhou was not far away, and it would soon arrive by boat down the river, so he readily agreed.

"When there's a break, we'll go straight by boat."

"Well, thank you, brother." Jiang Xuan said movingly, it seems that she is about to go crazy.

However, compared with those ladies who don't go out much, Jiang Xuan is lucky, she can go out, go to school, and usually cook and clean up at home, Jiang Xinghuo doesn't care much about her.

Jiang Xinghuo smiled, said a few more words, and went to find Yuan Heng.

He didn't feel tired, on the contrary, he was in a relaxed mood.

Although Jiang Xuan's life is no longer as simple as when she was in the countryside, under the influence of the living environment, her personality is now more cheerful, and she has changed a lot.

For example, her temperament has become more and more calm, and she no longer likes to make trouble from time to time as before.

Similarly, she is no longer pestering him all day long like before, she just silently helps Jiang Xinghuo and takes care of his daily life.

Watching her brother leave, Jiang Xuan felt a sense of loss in her heart.

But soon it was gone, for the kitten excitedly took a struggling mouse in her mouth and showed it off to her, her eyes full of pride.

"Ah!!h

——————

"One gets God, two gets fun."

"What, did it affect your ascension?"

In Yuan Hui's room, the old man was drinking tea.

As the number one minister in the world, it is not surprising that Yuan Heng is a little chattering, there are a lot of compasses and various mysterious props in his room, and Jiang Xinghuo doesn't know what to do.

"How do mortals become gods?"

Yuan Heng smiled, put down the teacup, invited Jiang Xinghuo to take a seat, and poured Jiang Xinghuo a cup of tea.

"I'm going to Jiangnan tomorrow."

"I heard."

Jiang Xinghuo turned the teacup in front of him, watched the tea leaves rise and fall, and asked, "Have you thought about it?" ”

The thing Jiang Xinghuo asked was, of course, whether Yuan Heng was appointed as the secretary of Taichang Temple.

Yuan Hui left the court as a squire in the Hongwu Dynasty, coupled with the example of Qiu Xuanqing in front, as a person in the Taoist Sect and a long-time eunuch, it is very suitable to serve as the secretary of Taichang Temple.

But Yuan Heng has been noncommittal about this.

First, at his age, he himself can't say how long he can live, it stands to reason that he can't wade through this troubled water when he is old, after all, Yuan Hui has no pursuit of fame and fortune; The second is that there are some things he hasn't figured out, and he has been thinking about it almost recently, and he has to confirm with Jiang Xinghuo.

The two of them drank tea and were relatively silent for a long time.

"After this trip to Jiangnan, how do you plan to treat the gentry?" Yuan Heng asked solemnly.

Among these people, Yuan Hui is actually the least involved in changing the law.

Others don't mention it, not to mention each one's life, it can be regarded as fighting bravely, even if it is Zhang Yuchu, although he doesn't dare and can't help Jiang Xinghuo do something in the temple, but at least he desperately advocates Jiang Xinghuo's led change in the Daomen, many Taoist temples are the same as Buddhist temples, and now they have the business of helping to distribute pamphlets to believers to publicize the change, and Zhang Yuchu obtained a new theory of mind from Jiang Xinghuo, and he was already quite famous in the ideological world, and he became the successor of the mind and Taoism after Lu Jiuyuan, and successfully shook the absolute dominance of science.

And Yuan Heng has come all the way from the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and has seen too many ups and downs of the court's upstarts, just the waiters and scholars he has met with each other, each of them has crossed the dragon gate like a carp crossing the river, and then suddenly falls, which is really countless.

Yuan Heng knew that Jiang Xinghuo was very special, and he even knew that Jiang Xinghuo's fate was unpredictable by his physiognomy, even if the heavens and men came into the world, it was nothing more than that.

But this does not prevent Yuan Heng from being cautious.

Therefore, in addition to writing articles, Yuan Heng has never been too deeply involved in changing the law.

Yuan Heng knew very well that Jiang Xinghuo wanted to pull him into this boat, and his qualifications and connections in the court meant that as long as he officially joined the camp of the law-changing faction, then the balance would be equivalent to investing a lot of weight, which would inevitably affect the balance.

After all, Yuan Hui not only gave Yao Guangxiao and Zhu Di a face-to-face back then, predicting that Zhu Di would turn into a dragon at the age of forty, but also had a lot of intersections with those generals in the Yan army. After all, the warriors of this era were generally very superstitious about these things.

This is equivalent to the Xungui group, which is already inclined to the second prince Zhu Gaoxu in terms of position, and is deeply tied to the reform of the law in terms of interests, and will further get closer to the reform in terms of human feelings.

Because just like Zhang Yuchu contributed a little Dragon Tiger Mountain Secret Tonic Pill to Qi Guogong Qiu Fu from time to time, many things in the Daomen, such as pills and talismans, are very popular among the noble group, and whoever has something to do also likes to invite Yuan Heng to do a ritual.

Yuan Hui belongs to the kind of archmage who is recognized as a profound and respected archmage with a wide range of contacts.

In a sense, it is similar to the old Chinese medicine with countless banners.

Jiang Xinghuo also thought clearly, Yuan Heng lacked nothing, and he saw things so thoroughly, it can be said that he was a typical example of being a thousand people who had no desire and were rigid, and it was definitely impossible to pull him into the gang and not answer the questions he was concerned about.

So, Jiang Xinghuo said frankly: "For the gentry, it is natural to divide and disintegrate, and to win over one dial and one to press. ”

Jiang Xinghuo thought about this question, and at this time, it was clear and effortless to answer.

"The key to the transformation of the gentry lies in two points, the first point is the economic source, although most of the gentry are currently landlords, relying on the land economy, but people are not fools, with the extensive development of maritime trade, see new interests, some of the gentry near the sea, will definitely invest in marine trade, and then gradually transform, and the transformation of the gentry, the basis of interests is different from the gentry with land as the main source of economy, the butt is different, the head is naturally different; The second point is the upward channel, because the Guozijian is in Nanjing, so generally speaking, only a few scholars from the surrounding political envoys of Nanzhili have the conditions to come to the Guozijian to study, and most of the gentry children in the country rely on the imperial examination to enter the official career and realize the feedback to the family, but with the opening of the new, more and more extensive upward channel, the imperial examination with some changes is no longer the only upward channel for the gentry, so in the future, such as expanding the scale and establishing the Guozijian of the sub-prison, as well as the Daming Administrative School, It will attract the children of the gentry to enter, and at that time, the position of these people will naturally change. ”

Yuan Heng nodded thoughtfully, but he didn't speak, he seemed to be caught in some memories, and only spoke after a while.

"Your talent is unparalleled."

"If you use the theory of learning, it is to force the five sons of the Northern Song Dynasty and enter the ranks of the sons, I am afraid it is not a difficult thing."

"You have the courage to take responsibility, you are shocked when you encounter problems, and you have foresight, you can tolerate compromise, not a short-sighted person."

"You have a lot of capable followers, you have the right medicine, you give them what they want most, these people may not be nothing in history, but in the world, they are enough to be called capable ministers."

"But do you know what you're missing? Maybe you didn't see it yourself. ”

Facing Yuan Hui's question, Jiang Xinghuo thought about it and shook his head again.

The bystanders may not be clear, but the authorities are likely to be confused.

In the game, even if you try your best to be strategic, you will inevitably be trapped by your vision and position, and consciously or unconsciously think about problems from your own perspective.

"That was nearly fifty years ago, when I was still your age."

Yuan Jue said slowly: "When Emperor Taizu Gao crossed the river, he annihilated Jiqing (Nanjing's name in the Yuan Dynasty) the main force of the Yuan army in Quarry Rock, and later all the way to Huizhou, Emperor Taizu Gao asked Zhu Sheng for his opinion on his future strategy, and Zhu Sheng only said nine words at that time - build a high wall, accumulate grain, and slowly claim the king. As a result, Emperor Taizu Gao gradually became afraid from his complacency. ”

"What you lack is fear."

"Last year, I calculated a hexagram for you, the hidden dragon hexagram in disguise, I didn't think it through at the time, but then I slowly understood."

"The earthquake is thunder, and the gentleman repairs the province with fear."

"Your Dao heart or belief is too firm, too indomitable, and you have no fear of everything, if you can't do what you want to do, you can't turn this world upside down as you want, you won't give up, right?"

Jiang Xinghuo said calmly: "Yes, when I left from the foot of Jingting Mountain in Xuancheng, I swore that I would not succeed in this matter and would not return it." ”

"Do you have anything to fear?"

Jiang Xinghuo thought about it and shook his head.

In the final analysis, he is not afraid of anything, the physical body is destroyed, the people close to him are separated, and the deeds collapse There is nothing that can make him afraid.

Since ancient times, it has been difficult to die alone, but he Jiang Xinghuo is really not afraid of death.

"Try to make yourself fearful, or rather awe-inspired."

Yuan Hui's words seemed to be very reasonable and tempting.

Yes, in life, is there really anything that you are not afraid of? If so, is it still a person?

As Yuan Heng just said, "How can mortals ascend to the gods? "The same, on the contrary, Jiang Xinghuo's body, does he want divinity or mortality?

But Jiang Xinghuo pondered for a moment and asked rhetorically, "Is this the condition for you to join?" ”

Yuan Jue smiled and only said: "You can understand it this way, if you are old and old, you can't board a chariot driven by a madman, you will fall to pieces." ”

Jiang Xinghuo put down the teacup, got up slowly, looked out the window, turned his back to Yuan Hui, and only read a paragraph.

"What I have changed and changed is not to the ears and eyes of the world, and the mouth of the world, but to be in line with the government of the previous kings.

Because of the power of the world to give birth to the wealth of the world, collect the wealth of the world for the expenses of the world, since ancient times, the world has not been a public disaster due to insufficient wealth, and there is no way to cure wealth.

The incumbent talents are insufficient, and there are few available talents between the alleys and grasslands, the trust of the society, the defense of the frontier, Your Majesty can take the good fortune for a long time, and there is no worry? May the prisoners follow the shortcomings and make the ministers clear, so that they can gradually adapt to the changes of the world. ”

"History of the Song Dynasty: The Biography of Wang Anshi." Yuan Heng said.

This is the first large-scale quotation of Wang Anshi's article after introducing Wang Anshi's early experience in the biography of Wang Anshi and others in the Yuan Dynasty.

"Yes."

Jiang Xinghuo turned around, looked at Yuan Jue, and said softly: "The sky is not enough to be afraid, the ancestors are not enough to be afraid, and the words of people are not enough to be compassionate, although it is not what Wang Jinggong said, but its meaning is probably like this." ”

"Is there a Heavenly Dao, Heavenly Principle, or Heavenly Providence in this world? I can't tell, and you can't tell. ”

"But I know one thing, if there is really a Heavenly Dao in this world, then I am also the chosen one."

"I am the chosen one and only."

"I'm here to change."

"If you want me to be in awe, the only thing I am in awe of is the unenlightened sentient beings."

"What else am I afraid of?"

"Here's my answer, are you satisfied?"

The afterglow shone on Jiang Xinghuo's body through the window lattice, and Yuan Heng was a little difficult to look at for a while.

(End of chapter)
