Heavy snow covered the city, and the days were getting slower.

In the past, the surroundings of the Inuyama Castle Jinyi Household House were extremely quiet, but now they are unusual, becoming crowded with people and bursting with laughter.

A Confucius Temple, funded by the Yamen of the Xuanwei Division, appeared next to the household.

The two buildings are only a few dozen feet apart, and in the western suburbs, where there are very few residents, they can be regarded as living next to each other.

In front of the Confucius Temple, a group of ragged teenagers gathered together, holding a set of brand-new Confucian shirts that they had just received in their hands.

A young man named Terao Li, standing at the edge of the crowd, looked blankly at the bright smiling faces in front of him.

"Eat and live, no longer have to eat and sleep", "Brainstorming, live an upper-class life", "Go to the empire to work, see the stars and the sea".

In addition to 'food and shelter', other words that were not easy to understand floated into the ears of the temple tail, making him subconsciously frown.

"Master has given me a new name, do you have one?"

A taller teenager shouted excitedly.

"You have it all, of course everyone has, but the master is the fairest."

"Don't call me Hotaru Takagi anymore, I'm called Takamatsu now. The Master said that from today we will have a new name, so that we can have a new life. ”

"Yes, yes, don't call me Su Yongji, my name is Xu Chen now!"

"From today onwards, I, Ogasawara Nu, have officially changed my name to Li Yuannu, and you all remember it for me!"

These teenagers, who have no 'workstation' inheritance and no money to modify their prosthetic limbs, are cheering at the moment, and seem to be waving goodbye to the unbearable past.

At this moment, someone finally noticed the temple tail gravel, who had never spoken, and asked with a smile: "Shrine tail gravel, you haven't told everyone yet, what is the new name that the master gave you?" ”

"yes, that's the only one you haven't said yet."

"Say it quickly, or what will we call you in the future."

Suddenly surrounded by laughter, Terao Li, with a hurried expression on his face, twisted his body unnaturally, and said in a muffled voice: "I don't like this name very much." ”

"But the master said that as long as you change your name, you can enter the temple to study, and you can also take care of food and housing."

The young man named Gao Song was puzzled: "You can eat enough and dress warmly, why don't you like it?" ”

yes, why wouldn't I like it?

Terao's stunned gaze looked around, and a pair of puzzled eyes stared at him.

Isn't that what I've been longing for?

Terao Gravel scratched his head, and a smile slowly opened into a smile on his face that was red from the cold wind.

"The name given to me by the Master is Shi Le. From today onwards, my name is Stone Music! ”

"I really don't understand, it's okay for Xuanwei to implement the new policy, but why should the Confucius Temple be opened next to our house?"

In the office of 100 households on the top floor of the western suburbs, Fan Wuji, who was standing by the window, withdrew his gaze and said puzzledly: "We are Jinyi guards, not doormen, isn't it the job of the Security Bureau to protect the safety of Confucius Temple?" How did it fall on our heads. ”

"Do you think the Guards can be trusted?"

Xie Bi'an, who was standing beside him, said angrily: "Don't complain, the order of the Thousand Households Office is for us to fully cooperate with the work of the Propaganda Division, and we can only obey." ”

"Okay, but the scale of this Confucius Temple is too huge, right? Xiaobai, you look at how many people are down there. ”

Fan Wuyi gritted his teeth and said, "Don't these people need to work?" When I was twelve years old, I was already working in a factory. ”

"The Propaganda Division has issued a decree that the entire Inuyama City must enter the temple to study for teenagers who have not yet reached the age of bundling, and what you see now is just a pilot."

"Can their families agree?"

"They don't have a choice, if they don't send people to study, the guards will go door-to-door to arrest people."

Xie Bi'an said: "And after entering the temple, not only will you pay for food and lodging, but also pay a monthly treasure money subsidy." If there is potential to break the lock and advance to the order, you can also be sent to the large academy of the empire for free at the expense of the Xuanwei Division. Who wouldn't do this kind of good thing? ”

"With a knife in one hand and sugar in the other, our Yang Tongzhi's methods are really powerful."

Fan Wuyi sighed, and suddenly asked curiously: "Xiaobai, what do you say are taught in this Confucius Temple?" Will you really teach the gentleman the six arts? Those big masters in the court can't really be so kind-hearted, right? ”

"See for yourself."

Xie Bi'an took out an electronic case slip from his sleeve and handed it to Fan Wuyi.

"The Journey of the Restoration of the Japanese District"

Fan Wuyi took it and flipped it through at random, raising his eyebrows and saying 'hey'.

"Emperor Longwu, his old man, probably never thought in his life that he would one day become the emperor who rescued thousands of Japanese people from the dire situation, right?"

"For all the time, you'd better be careful when you speak, lest you be caught."

"Xiaobai, you are too timid, what is there to be afraid of? We are far away from the emperor here, and even the Huangliang Dream Realm is not interconnected with the empire. Now that the current chief of the Xuanwei Division is Brother Jun's little brother, who will tell me the secret? ”

Fan Wuyi grinned and said, "Besides, I don't believe that the 'Three Law Divisions' will have the energy to play a small role like me." ”

Xie Bi'an saw that the more he said, the more outrageous it became, he simply ignored it and turned his head to look at Li Jun, who was sitting behind the desk.

"Brother Jun, after the New Year, the Xuanwei Division Yamen under the auspices of Yang Baize drastically implemented various new policies."

"This time, not only the Confucius Temple was piloted to collect these helpless young people. Moreover, in the local part of the empire, the major companies under the Confucian Gate Valve began to recruit a large number of young and middle-aged people in the Japanese area, and there was only one requirement, that is, they could get a workstation if they could explain the language. ”

Xie Bi'an said in a deep voice: "This is a fatal temptation for those who lose their jobs for various reasons. At present, this decree is only open to our Inuyama Castle, and many people in other big cities have quietly infiltrated it. ”

"Brother Jun, this Yang Tongzhi is indeed a bit ruthless, doing so is tantamount to digging up the roots of the Japanese people, and I am afraid that there will be no less trouble in Inuyama City in the future."

Take away the young adults with stable three views, and leave a young man who is easy to cultivate.

Yang Baize's good means!

Li Jun pondered for a moment and asked, "Are there any abnormal behaviors on the part of the four major companies and Honghu now?" ”

"There hasn't been any movement from the four major companies, but Honghu has been very active recently."

Xie Bi'an took the electronic case slip in Fan Wuyi's hand and handed it to Li Jun.

"Brother Jun, this is the newspaper of the Thousand Households on the first day of the second month."

Li Jun slid the screen up and down, and his eyes were full of frightening scarlet characters.

Without exception, it's all about the Bird Attack.

"In just a few days, there were Honghu attacks in other major cities. Among them, Kanazawa Castle suffered the most serious attack, and even the Yamen of the Xuanwei Division was bombed, and the Tongzhi who was in charge of implementing the new policy was killed on the spot. ”

Xie Bi'an said solemnly: "Now Qi Qi is like crazy, with red eyes and frantically searching for the traces of Honghu. He even sent a message to the major households, as long as anyone could help him find the mastermind of the attack, he was willing to give half of this year's Ministry of Industry quota. ”

"Looking at it this way, the big city that hasn't been attacked yet, and we're the only ones left?"

"Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, and Honghu will definitely not exclude Inuyama City alone, not to mention that we are still the first pilot of the implementation of the new policy."

Xie Bi'an said: "There is no movement yet, there is only one possibility left. They're planning a big attack! ”

"Fuck, let them come, as long as these Honghu dare to show their heads, Lao Tzu will shoot one at a time!"

Fan Wuyi took out a handful of 'backstabs' from under his skirt robe, and smiled fiercely.

"Disperse all the brothers in the two places, collect the news on the ground, and don't let go of any trouble."

Li Jun said coldly: "The mountain rain is coming, it is a critical moment, let them not be soft, and if there is any abnormality, they will throw people into the edict." ”

Xie Bi'an received the order and retreated with Fan Wuyi.

In the huge office, only Li Jun was left.

He paced to the window and stared at the Temple of Confucius in the distance, where laughter erupted.

Whether the empire's new policy is correct or not, Li Jun is not interested.

He doesn't care if it can be implemented smoothly.

What Li Jun cares about is just Honghu.

All kinds of things in Chongqing Mansion in the past are now like flowing water across his heart.

Not only because of Gong Qinghong's calculations, but also because of Yan Bahuang's death, there was an indelible mortal feud between him and Honghu.

Li Jun's palm behind his hand was slowly clasped, and the power contained in it was like climbing a tall building, climbing layer by layer.

Clang!

The sound of the copper lock shaking has not been cut off since the moment he injected it into the heavy building technique.

"Now that the high-rise building has been built, the stop is full. What is the next ritual of the fifth solitary martial arts? ”
