In the past few days, Yang Xiaoyang has not been on the street again, and has been staying in the mansion, only occasionally going to the kitchen to ask the chef of Duanfu for advice.

If it hadn't been for the grandfather's explanation, he would have been thrown out by the cook.

Yang Xiaoyang didn't go out because he was annoyed and angry because of the events of that day, in fact, his reputation didn't stink at all, but Grandpa Duan's reputation stinked even more.

The people of Chang'an have spread the word, saying that the person invited by Grandpa Duan did not stop bleeding from his nose when he visited the Qinglou, and it has become a joke of the Qinglou.

As for who is invited, no one cares, and the people love to watch the big guys' ugliness.

Now there are few places in the city that can add a smile to Grandpa Duan, which makes Grandpa Duan a little afraid.

Yang Xiaoyang was going to take out the letter as soon as he had time these days, and the patriarch meant very clearly, he wanted to seek a new path for the cultivators of the world.

It's just that Yang Xiaoyang doesn't understand that the ancestor, as the only earth immortal in the world, should be able to do whatever he wants.

Isn't it beautiful to look at the white snow of Kunlun in the morning, listen to the sound of the waves in the East China Sea at night, pick the stars with your hands, drink fairy dew in the morning, have a sunset meal at dusk, live with heaven and earth, and sit and watch the wind and clouds rise and fall in the world?

Yang Xiaoyang has no ideals since he was a child, and he thinks that it is good to mix up his life plainly, even if Xiao Di has an accident, he just has a small goal, to cultivate to the immortal, at most, plus take Xiao Di to eat all the world's food.

He never had the idea of taking the initiative to help others, and he never felt that people in the world had anything to do with him, and how many people who had intersected with him so far had become strangers.

Yuantian's family, Wang De's old man, Xiaohua's flower cat, the father and son in Heshan City, the Xiangma brothers, Fusheng and Qingcao, and even Jingyuan are all like this, but the ancestor's letter made this idea shake a little.

Some people say that it is difficult for a person to become difficult, but sometimes what is missing is just an opportunity.

On this day, Duan Qing brought a piece of news, "The imperial court wants to build a new city in Yuezhou, but there are too many water thieves in Dongting Lake, and every time the construction starts, there will be water thieves to make trouble, so the imperial court has recruited heroes from all over the world to enter Dongting to suppress bandits, and it is said that many heroes have already set off." ”

"The imperial court has given a heavy reward?" Yang Xiaoyang glanced at Li Congwen, who was a little eager to try, and asked.

"There is no heavy reward, just a small boat in the past to take care of food and shelter. ”

Li Congwen couldn't wait, "What kind of reward do you want, my generation of Jianghu people is just a righteous word first." Duan Qing hurriedly prepared fast horses and dry food for us, and went to suppress the bandits together. ”

Yang Xiaoyang felt that it was better to ask clearly, "Why didn't the imperial court send a sailor over? How many water thieves are there?"

"The strength of the sailor lies in the huge ship, but the big ship can't enter the depths of Yunmengze, and the water thieves are all small boats, and when they see the big ship of the sailor drilling into Daze, they will disappear, and the sailor can't help them. As for the specific number of water thieves, it is not clear, but it is estimated to be around 30,000. ”

Yang Xiaoyang was taken aback, "Where did so many water thieves come from?"

Duan Qing sighed, and the flesh on his face trembled, "They are all poor homeless people who can't afford to eat, and they live by robbing on water. They can be called pitiful people, but they have done a lot of bad things, and the necessary punishment is still needed. ”

Looking at Li Congwen, who was beckoning Lao Chen to prepare his luggage, Yang Xiaoyang sighed and didn't say more.

"You'd better leave in a few days, so I can prepare something for you. When Duan Qing said this, he had the momentum of a grandfather.

..............................

An Yan twenty-three years, summer, capital.

Recently, a new student came to the school, named Chen Kang.

The young masters in the school didn't know which Chen family came from, they only knew that he was introduced by Li Xiang.

asked the eldest son of the Li family, Li Yunxian, and the second son, Li Sizhe, but they didn't know, and only said that Li Xiang brought them back from Guanzhong.

Li Yunxian is seven years old and is the most popular student of Mr.

He memorized the classics backwards and could recite poems against each other, but Li Xiang said that this child could only read but could not be an official, and he had been taken back to teach himself, saying that he wanted to see if there was any salvation.

So Chen Kang has been following Li Sizhe, he goes wherever Li Sizhe goes, and he also reads whatever books Li Sizhe reads.

Li Sizhe and his brother are both extremely gentle people, and although they have some troubles, they still take care of Chen Kangduo.

Originally, after Li Yun left first, Li Sizhe became Mr.'s favorite student, and now there is another Chen Kang.

Although Chen Kang is not as good as the Li brothers on the back of the book, and he can't write poems, his husband likes his aggressiveness and is not afraid of making mistakes.

Chen Kang often had to ask his husband for advice in the school, and would debate with him when he encountered differences of opinion, until he really understood before apologizing to his husband and thanking him.

Mr. never blamed him, but asked the students in the school to learn from him, saying that this is the attitude of learning.

Li Sizhe and Chen Kang are completely two types of people in the eyes of other students, one is gentle and the other is radical, the other is polite and the other is rude.

Mr. Today asked you a question, saying that if you were asked to be the local assassin after the war was over, how would they govern the state and county.

The students are all children of the family, and they have heard a lot from their parents about local governance, and they all say that they should cultivate more farmland, reduce taxes and labor, and have as much food as possible.

Li Sizhe also thinks so.

Only Chen Kang said that the farmland should not be cultivated too much, and that the grain stored in the granary would be enough to cope with the two-year famine, and then let the farmers who did not have much land to grow raise chickens and ducks.

Some students disagreed, saying that they could just eat chickens and ducks.

Chen Kang said that as long as he sells chickens, ducks and eggs to large households, he can buy grain to eat.

He also said that it is best to let the uneaten rice from the south be transported to the north, so that everyone can live well by selling things without farming, and the government can still receive a lot of commercial taxes.

The students were a little unconvinced, and they always felt that there was something strange about it, and that there were people who could eat enough without farming, but he couldn't find a reason to say that Chen Kang was wrong.

Mr. did not evaluate Chen Kang's method, but Chen Kang never came to the school again the next day.

I heard that I went to accept Li Xiang's teaching with Li Yunxian, and only Li Sizhe honestly finished the school.

...................

Autumn Rong withered green feathers, Hezhou Town is the source of the Han River, and the willow hammer on the bank swings in the wind by the river.

Yang Xiaoyang and Li Congwen sat in the cabin of a small boat, which was said to have been modified from a small warship that Duan Qing's sailors had retreated from, and was more suitable for several people to fight on the water.

On each side of the ship was a small bed crossbow, on which were set siege chisels, and ropes were attached to them, for people to jump.

The sails on the boat were not raised, because the current of the Han River was very fast, and the wind direction was uncertain, so it was good to control the direction of the boat.

Duan Qing didn't send the people to Hezhou Town, and after preparing the boat and weapons for them, he separated from the three of them in Chang'an.

Yang Xiaoyang knew that his mother was not in good health, and his wife was pregnant with a child again. So it was impossible to travel far.

couldn't help but sigh that he was the only one left, and he was living in Chang'an with his family trembling, Li Congwen comforted him and said don't underestimate Duan Qing, so that Yang Xiaoyang felt better.

Duan Qing said that there are basically two ways to fight the water battle between small boats, shooting people to death with arrows and jumping on the opposite boat to kill all people, so he prepared a five-stone strong bow and a strong crossbow.

Li Congwen and Lao Chen didn't want it, saying that they wouldn't use it, and in their opinion, jumping was enough, and they didn't know where they got their confidence.

Yang Xiaoyang's bow is used less, and the accurate head is not good.

Although his eyes are much stronger after cultivating immortals, his eyesight is eyesight, and his quasi-head is quasi-head, so he practiced a little when he was in Duanfu, but he didn't improve much.

In fact, Yang Xiaoyang also felt that there was nothing that the jump gang couldn't solve, wouldn't it be nice to punch one at that time?

The boat is fast down the river, and the green mountains and green waters are speeding by.

The days on the boat were very boring, Lao Chen wanted to be in charge of the boat, Li Congwen was talking to Xiao Di while fishing by the boat, and he didn't know which fish he was hanging so fast on the boat.

Yang Xiaoyang could only use arrows to shoot the birds in the sky and the fish in the water to pass the time, but the bird that he finally shot fell into the water, and he realized a very serious problem.

"Congwen, Lao Chen, do you know how to swim?" Yang Xiaoyang felt that he regretted agreeing with Li Congwen's idea of patting his head, and a group of people who couldn't swim went to suppress water thieves, and he didn't know if he couldn't think of it.

"Xiaoyang, will you?"

"No, it won't. ”

"Then if I fall into the water, can you fish me out?"

"That should do. Yang Xiaoyang felt that it was still okay to run the aura on his feet and walk dozens of steps.

"That's fine, if I fall down, you can catch me up, why do you want to be able to swim?"

The world is so big, Yang Xiaoyang feels that it is no bigger than the piece of heart that Li Congwen is missing.

Lao Chen agreed twice.

Yang Xiaoyang's face darkened, "You won't know Lao Chen?"

"The old man can't swim, but the old man can't fall into the water. ”

Well, there is one who is more open-minded than Li Congwen.

Yang Xiaoyang had nothing to say, and stepped on the water to pick up the bird in the hanging water, not knowing if the bird was delicious when roasted.
