Xiong Daiying smiled self-deprecatingly: "Lord Shenzhu said that he was laughing, I am a little shadow guard, how can He De help Lord Kumamoto?"

After listening to what Jian Xian had just said, Chris felt sorry for Xiong Daiying, and said in his heart: If I were Daiying, I am afraid that I would never be able to forgive my father for the rest of my life. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Jian Yan said: "Whether you can help or not is not the key. The important thing is to find an opportunity for your father and son to rebuild their relationship. Maybe he will know your heart and care that you are his blood and blood, and he will be able to restore your identity and recognize your ancestors in the future!"

"No need!" Xiong Daiying said gloomily, "Thank you for your kindness!"

Although Chris felt that what Jian Shi said made some sense, Dai Ying still had a knot in her heart! She stretched out her foot and wanted to touch Jian Shi's foot, signaling him not to say anything, but Jian Shi dodged it at once, and took the opportunity to add: "If Brother Xiong has figured it out and changed his mind, maybe I can help you think of a way when the time comes!"

Chris faintly felt that something was wrong, and said in his heart: It's a bit strange for Jian Shi to suddenly mention such a thing today. What does it mean that he can help figure it out? Is he testing something? No, no...... Let me think again...... Isn't it ...... By the way, this guy is the prince's person, and he is hinting at letting Dai Ying's father look for the prince's big thick legs? Kumamoto is also a person from the Jade Buddha Hall, okay, he dares to dig my corner in front of me!

Jian Shi didn't care at all to be stared at so viciously. He knocked on the table, his eyes catching a glimpse of Chris's notebook. "Let me see, let's get it. ”

Chris handed over the notebook very neatly.

The sword was opened, and it was densely written, but he couldn't read a word. He frowned, looked up at Chris, and asked, "What kind of mess is this?"

She pouted and said secretly: English, you can understand it!

Unfold the middle page, and there is a map of the capital on it. It's just that dozens of circles of varying sizes are drawn on the map. There are many symbols marked next to the page, but I can finally see the Chinese characters. The words written by the stinky boy's strange pen are very neat, and the font is also very slender.

Zhaoqingfang, dwellings, taverns;

Jiapingfang, paper money shop, gambling house......

The content recorded above covers the forty-six squares of the entire old city, and the order of the symbols is also the route that he took Lan Yuanxiao to patrol the night in the past few days.

Jian Shi looked at the words, and his heart suddenly lit up, this record was all about the fires that happened in various parts of the capital last year! He raised his head and looked at Chris in surprise, he really didn't expect that this stinky boy who had been busy with his life was actually related to firefighting.

Jian Yan just wanted to praise a few words, but he saw that handsome little face was full of smug expressions, so he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.

Chris snorted twice with his nose and asked, "I didn't expect the master to work so hard!"

Jian Yan said contemptuously: "This is what you should do, and you are still complacent? This is just the fire that happened in the autumn and winter seasons of a year! I think you should at least go through the four seasons of the past ten years!"

Chris had already read all the fire information in the past ten years, but at this moment he deliberately said: "Come on, it's enough for me to just watch these two seasons!"

Looking at his arrogant appearance, could there be anything special about the fire in these two seasons? Jian Yan looked at the data listed on it again, and faintly felt that there was something different in his heart, but he couldn't be sure. "I remember Jiapingfang, the fire in the gambling house! That day, I happened to go to the gambling house to arrest the murderer, who knew that the backyard of the gambling house suddenly caught fire, I took my subordinates Kuaishou and the people in the gambling house to fight the fire, fortunately everyone acted quickly, and the fire was extinguished before the submarine fire army arrived. ”

Jian Yan read a few articles, raised his head suddenly, looked at the person in front of him meaningfully, and asked with a serious face: "What do you mean by the circles on your picture, and the places where they intersect are painted gray?"

Chris thought about it, I have to talk to him about this sooner or later, and since he asked, I won't sell it. So he said: "After walking with you for a few days, I have almost traveled every road and alley in the forty-six squares, and I am familiar with it." I studied the map of Bianliang City again, and suddenly found some problems and figured out some things. ”

"What's the problem?"

"The four major drawbacks of firefighting in the capital!"

"The four major drawbacks?" Jian Xi looked incredulous, looked Chris up and down, and then said, "Look at what you said, and tell me about it in detail, I'll listen!"

The "Look here......" map is like the location of the crime marked by federal agents when they search for serial murderers, with many coordinate points. These coordinates are then connected into a circle. "The fires that have occurred in these places have been particularly serious and have caused heavy damage. Chris pointed to a circle marked with an asterisk and said, "We passed by yesterday here." Both sides of the road are full of large and small restaurants, and every family uses flower buildings to welcome guests. ”

Jian Yan remembered that not long ago, he slashed down the flower building that was on fire, and said: "The flower building is all paper, and I love to start a fire! Sometimes, I really hope that Master Yin will order the restaurant to demolish the flower building in front of their respective doors." ”

"The continuous fire every day is not the sin of 'Hualou'. A friend of mine once said that the flower building adds color to the city, and the people like it, but it is not practical to demolish it, and even if the flower building is demolished, it may not necessarily improve the fire situation. Chris paused, and then said slowly, "The houses are all wood, and they are also prone to fire, so are all stone houses built? The temples in the capital are all high-fire areas, so are all the temples closed? Besides, you told me that many fires in homes are caused by the fire of the Buddhist shrines dedicated to the Buddha statues, so don't the people be allowed to believe in Buddhism?"

Jian Yan nodded, did not speak, but said in his heart: There is some truth in this.

"This is the first drawback, I think it's a 'squeeze' word. ”

"Squeeze?"

"In Bianliang City, the space is crowded, the streets and alleys are narrow, and the buildings and houses are all crowded together, and they burn one after another. Therefore, after fighting the fire five times, more attention is paid to 'demolition', cutting off the fire source first, and then extinguishing the fire. ”

Jian Yan nodded slightly, and listened to her quietly.

"The more serious problem is 'occupying the road'! We patrol most of the night in the middle of the night, and we can still see many restaurants staying up all night and opening their doors to welcome customers, and which of the flower houses of each family does not encroach on the streets? During the day, there are many guests in the hotel, and the seats in the restaurants are often placed on the side of the street. I also heard from Uncle Da Geng that other shops can be seen everywhere!" she pointed to the door of this small shop and said, "You see, there are light boxes and signboards in front of such a small restaurant to attract business, and those big shops are even more exaggerated. Opening the door to welcome customers and soliciting business is the demand of the shopkeeper, but the government can regulate the management, such as stipulating the size of the flower building, and stipulating which main roads are not allowed to be encowned...... For example, there was a fire last autumn because the shops on the entire street set up flower buildings blocked all the roads from the reservoir to the point of fire, causing the submarine fire army to have to make a detour to fetch water.

Jian Yan knew that she was right, but he still had to make it difficult: "Speaking of which, I want to ask you a rhetorical question." Do you know what kind of people in the capital love to 'occupy the road' the most? Do you know which 'big family' is the 'occupation of the road'?"

Chris frowned and muttered, "The 'big family' of 'occupying the road'......"

"Compared with the liquor shops and shops you mentioned, it is those 'noble mansions' that occupy a large area of land, and their owners are all wealthy and powerful kings, grandsons, nobles, and wealthy families. Which of them built a government and built a building and a temple, did not occupy a large area of land. Some mansions have more than 100 acres of land alone, and the garden is even more overcast, looking like a cloud......" Jian Yan sneered and continued, "And if you mention 'big households', I am afraid that it is not the queen's maiden family, but the Xiang clan! At the beginning of the year, the official family approved a large piece of land and asked the Xiang family to rebuild the mansion. Do you know how much land they occupy in excess of the standard? But there are very few of these powerful people who do not build privately without exceeding the standard! Just return the land that does not belong to them, and maybe there will be more room in the streets!"

"Xiang clan!" Chris remembered the Empress Xiang he had seen in the royal back garden and the uncle Xiang Guo that he had met in Yuxian Tower.

Seeing her suddenly change her face, Jian Yan asked with some disdain, "What?

Chris replied, "Don't dare." ”

"You answered that question very well!"

"The high-ranking and powerful people, not only occupy a large area of land, they are still in charge of the world's interests, holding the power of life and death, I should see the wind and rudder, bend flattery, in order to live at least decent!" When he said this, Chris's eyelashes blinked slightly, and there were waves in his heart: In fact, which onion is that Xiangjia is counted? Which garlic is it? If you want to say that those who occupy the wealth of the world, form parties for personal gain, and use power for personal gain, I am afraid that I am the powerful queen mother!

"Hmph, you don't hide it!" said to her with a sarcastic smile, "What a noble little Lan-sama!"

"Thanks for the compliment!"

"You praise me for you? I don't know how to be polite...... Hmph!"

"You want to say that etiquette and honesty are shameful, right?" Chris was amused, "Etiquette and honesty can be eaten as food? Lord God has always acted recklessly, isn't it relying on the power of the prince? Aren't you a noble?"

"You!" Jian Yan slapped the table and stood up, reaching for her collar, but Xiong Daiying blocked it.

Xiong Daiying said in his heart: I said it well just now, why did I do it again without saying a word!

Chris scoffed and said, "It seems that King Chang is also one of the people you said, right? The large garden outside Tianbo Mansion is not his mansion? Why don't you let him give up some space?"

The proprietress heard the tinkling of plates and bowls, and walked out of the back kitchen, just in time to see the two arguing, and didn't dare to say anything at the moment, so she quickly retreated.

Jian Yan breathed a sigh of relief and sat back down.

The scene was silent for a long time, and Chris opened his mouth: "The world is like this, I call it following the trend." Lord Shenzhu is also a person who is mixed with officialdom, how can he not understand the truth of this?"

"If everyone in the world thinks like this, the world is decaying and people's hearts are degenerating, what is the way out for the common people?" Jian Yan said angrily, "Even if the world is cold, but people live for a lifetime, shouldn't they try their best to do something to change the status quo?" The last few sentences, as if talking to themselves, are no longer talking to Chris, it seems to be talking more about themselves.

Change the status quo? You're too idealistic, aren't you?

If you want to change the way of the world, how many people will have to move the cake? And the biggest piece of the cake is mine! Do you want me to put myself in order and divide the vested interests in my hands among everyone? Even if I am willing, I am afraid that the subordinates in the Five Buddha Hall will not agree. Besides, I still have to rely on the convenience of the Five Buddha Hall to form an excavation team as soon as possible, and then find a way to let the imperial court send troops to the north.

That's my selfishness.

No matter how beautiful it is, people are driven by their own selfishness. After thousands of years, whether it is ancient or modern, it is the same. Why do I have to change the way of the world? Not only is it not good for me, but it may be bad for me. In the Great Song Kingdom, I am just a passerby, and I have to leave after all......

She coughed lightly, calmed down, and said softly: "Even if I look at the scenery in front of people now, it's just a small servant, and I can't get half of the benefits from the powerful Xiang family." I, Lan Yuanxiao, don't have such lofty ambitions, and I don't have that ability, instead of taking risks to provoke the powerful, it's better to do something practical!

She pointed to her notebook again and asked, "Do you still want to listen to me?"

Jian Yan sighed and said, "That's it, you can say it!"

"As far as the fire the day before yesterday is concerned, there is a lot of land outside Stone Village, but I see that those workshops are still very densely built, and once one fire breaks out, it will soon spread to other families. I heard from the shopkeepers and foremen that because the street was so cramped and narrow, the craftsmen found it very oppressive and unbearable, and often complained: If it was to be rebuilt, the road between the workshops should be 'widened'!" ......Chris said, "As for the streets in the city, it is really difficult to widen, but they must be 'straightened'! Don't pile it up at will, and don't let the street, which is not wide, be bent and difficult to walk again. Every street, no matter how narrow each lane is, must have a 'straight road' leading to the end for the submarine fire army to pass. ”

Jian Shi nodded, and then agreed, and then asked, "What does the gray part you paint represent?"

"The second major disadvantage of firefighting is the overlapping jurisdictions!" Chris said, "and that's what I thought of that day from the question you asked me." In the old city, there are three inspection offices in Xinlingfang, and there are even commanders from each military camp to supervise the formation. ”
