Liu Yunxiang and the beggar went to the outskirts of the city for a few days, and as he said, the land here was barren and uncultivated.

Zhenbei Pass is not far from here, and it is the same drought, but they grow grain there, because there is a wooden river flowing there, and the young and strong soldiers can carry water for watering.

Liu Yunxiang found a map and pointed to a place: "If we dig a river here that leads to our Yangui City, we can solve the problem of irrigation." ”

The beggar pointed to the map, "Do you think this section is not as wide as a little finger, it should be very short and easy to dig through?"

"What do you want to say?"

"I would say ten years or eight years is not a problem. ”

Liu Yunxiang shook his head, "If tens of thousands of people dig here, how long do you say it will take?"

"Where did the tens of thousands come from?"

"Walking down the street is full of people. ”

"Huh. ”

"You said that if I gave them food and let them dig rivers, would they do it?"

Remember https://m in a second.

The beggar thought for a moment, "Let's do it." ”

"After that, the land is cultivated, they are given seeds, they are allowed to plant, the family manages a piece of land, the grain planted is enough for the family to eat, and the rest is handed over to the grain store, are they willing?"

"In the current situation, everyone is hungry, and they must be willing, but are you too whimsical, this unchanging tax for the imperial court, you don't want it anymore?"

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "So I have to buy these wastelands on the outskirts of the city first." ”

The beggar stroked his beard, "You have to buy it from the government, and it seems that the new Yangui City Mansion is about to arrive." ”

The two of them came down the road while talking, and when they came to the official road, they saw a group of ragged beggars gathered together, and there seemed to be someone inside.

"Why don't you give them food and not give it to us? If you don't give it today, you don't want to leave!"

"Yes, everybody's hungry, and no one is to mess with. ”

"It's okay to give money if you don't have food, it's true that we are beggars, but if we give less, we don't look down on it. ”

The beggar snorted beside Liu Yunxiang, "It must be from outside, I don't know the situation here." Kindly gave a few beggars to eat, and the other beggars saw it and swarmed to beg for food, but when there was no more, they stopped doing it. ”

Liu Yunxiang sighed, she had also encountered this situation, but there were officials in the city, and they didn't dare to be too presumptuous.

Those beggars were noisy and wanted to rob, so they heard a coquettish shout inside: "I see which of you dares to step forward, my man has practiced, what Shaolin boxing, what flying eagle legs, known as the first master of the rivers and lakes, if he doesn't do it, he will definitely see blood when he does it." ”

There were too many people, Liu Yunxiang only saw a wooden stick stirring in the group of beggars, and then the crowd moved back a few steps, and then a man and a woman climbed a large rock.

The woman is wearing a smoky gown, carrying a medicine box on her back, and the man is wearing a plain robe, wearing a square scarf, and carrying a book cage behind him.

The beggars were obviously not convinced, and surrounded them tightly.

Liu Yunxiang looked at it fixedly, and couldn't help but wonder: "Why does that woman look so much like Doctor Qu?"

The beggar sighed, "Not really." ”

Liu Yunxiang's eyes widened, "Who is the man next to you?"

"Shen Yunzhou. ”

The stone was uneven, Shen Yunzhou stumbled back, and Qu Moran grabbed him.

He coughed dryly and said to the beggars: "I don't make a move easily, and I have always persuaded people with virtue." ”

"Hmph, you guys just steal the fun, otherwise you would already be a corpse at this moment!"

"Ahem, don't scare them, ma'am. ”

"Husband, these people are too arrogant, kill one or two, let's relieve our anger. ”

"Who can you kill?"

"The one who rushed to the front!"

Qu Moran pointed a stick at the tall and sturdy male beggar who rushed to the front, the beggar looked at Shen Yunzhou, obviously with the face of a scholar, but his eyes were extremely cold, revealing a cold murderous aura.

His heart trembled, and he unconsciously took two steps back.

Shen Yunzhou sighed, "That's it, he's still young and ignorant." I am accustomed to convince people with virtue, and in this case, I will make it easier for you to reason. Zi said: How to repay virtue? Repay virtue directly, repay virtue with virtue. What do you mean, it is not right for us to influence them with our own virtue when we are being bullied. Rather, we are to repay them in our own way, with Dharma and thanksgiving. For example, now, we feed those beggars within our ability, and they thank them, which is to repay virtue with virtue. And we have no food, but you don't let us go, you still want to rob us, and even hurt us, I hurt any of you, this is called direct retribution. Do you understand?"

Beggars, you look at me, I look at you, and then they all looked at Shen Yunzhou, all of them looking confused.

"I will tell you again about the teachings of the Buddha, the Sutra of Miscellaneous Aham, which says: What is good and knowledge? If there is a good man, who does not fall into place, does not let go, is not vain, is not dangerous, if knowledge can be good and comforting, if there is no sorrow, if there is no sorrow, if there is sorrow, if there is no enlightenment, if there is unborn joy can make a quick life, if there is joy that is born without losing it, then a good man is good and knowledgeable. ”

Liu Yunxiang heard this, turned his head and said to the beggar, "Should we go over and help them?"

After all, it's a cold day, and all living beings in Pudu have to pick a good weather.

The beggar glanced back, "Not really." ”

Liu Yunxiang followed and turned around, and saw a small group of officials dressed up.

"So he's been stalling." ”

The official messenger came, and immediately dispersed the group of beggars.

Some people were confused, and they didn't forget to ask Shen Yunzhou: "Master, what does this Buddhist saying mean?"

Shen Yunzhou smiled, his eyes shining, "How do I know what it means, I don't worship Buddha." However, I can give you a piece of advice, that is, read more books in order to be less fooled. ”

Waiting for Shen Yunzhou and Qu Moran to get down from the big stone, Liu Yunxiang passed.

"Sister Qu!"

Qu Moran followed the prestige, and when he saw that it was Liu Yunxiang, he was first surprised and then happy, and hurriedly ran to meet him.

"Yunxiang, why are you here?"

Liu Yunxiang smiled, "I have been going north since I came out of Shengjing, and I have lived in Yangui City, and it has been half a year in the blink of an eye." ”

"Great, I'll keep you company in the future. ”

"Well, I'm so happy to see my sister. ”

Qu Moran pulled Liu Yunxiang to the side, "Jinyan has already taken the child to the Medicine King Valley, you can rest assured." ”

Liu Yunxiang clenched Qu Mozhi's hand, her eyes couldn't help but turn red, she missed her son so much, but no matter how much she missed it, she could only hide it in her heart.

"There will always be a time when your mother and son will meet. ”

"Hmm. ”

"Thank you, sister. ”

"Among our sisters, you don't have to be polite. ”

Qu Moran was introduced, and Liu Yunxiang stepped forward to salute Shen Yunzhou.

"Shen Futai, it's been hard all the way. ”

Shen Yunzhou had already raised the arrogance and demeanor of a civil official, and he bowed slightly, "Liu, no, it's time to call Mrs. Jing'anhou, poor Jing'anhou will give you filial piety." ”

Qu Moran twisted Shen Yunzhou's arm, "Don't talk nonsense if you don't know anything." ”

Shen Yunzhou snorted lightly, "Mrs. Jing'an Hou and Boss Yan's affair, this official has also heard of some things, although I don't know if it's true or ......not."

"Really. Liu Yunxiang said.

Shen Yunzhou sneered, "Madame dares to act." ”

"If Lord Shen has a long tongue, he can write to Xie Zi'an immediately. “

Shen Yunzhou flicked his sleeves, "This official is not so idle." ”

Liu Yunxiang smiled, "Then it's better to talk about some serious things." ”
