Chapter 177 Observation
"I heard from your servants that you have been here for the past two days." Li Ruoshui handed a pancake in his hand to the middle-aged man and continued: "You have also been a big shot in the prime minister. You have no worldly experience." I’ve seen it before, what’s so interesting about this?”

"You don't understand, this is really beautiful." The middle-aged man took the pancake. It happened to be almost noon. He had been standing all morning and was feeling hungry.He didn't care about the bloody public trial in front of him, and just started to eat the pancakes.

"I really don't see what's so interesting about this. It's just Chen Jiajun declaring force and winning over the people." Li Ruoshui sneered. In his opinion, instead of doing these things with a lot of hard work and money, it is better to Seriously do some work to accumulate force.

In Li Ruoshui's view, people are ignorant and forgetful. No matter how many good things you do for them, they will be forgotten soon, but as long as you do an evil thing that cares about yourself, you will be remembered for a lifetime.

As long as the people can have enough food to eat, wear warm clothes, and a little publicity, it will be a prosperous time.

"You are right. It is indeed a declaration of force and winning over the people's hearts, but you don't see how unique the people's hearts won over by Chen Jiajun are." The middle-aged man replied.

"What's the difference?" Li Ruoshui asked doubtfully.

"Look over there, look at that old lady." The middle-aged man scanned the square casually, then pointed to a corner in front, and said to Li Ruoshui, "Look carefully."

Li Ruoshui followed the middle-aged man's fingers and quickly saw an old woman. There was a six or seven-year-old child next to the woman. The woman was carrying a water jug, and the child next to her was holding a stack of pottery. bowl.

The two of them were in the corner where they watched the prisoners of the Jin soldiers. There were dozens of Jin soldiers waiting for the public trial. They were guarded by Chen Jiajun soldiers around them. Their armors were neatly arranged and they stood like benchmarks.

"They are indeed strong soldiers!" Li Ruoshui sighed, remembering the middle-aged man's emphasis, he withdrew his thoughts and looked at the old woman again.

I saw that the woman was pouring water for the soldiers. Every soldier who took the bowl would first give the woman a military salute with fists and chest bumps, and then he would drink all the water in the bowl.

Li Ruoshui was able to confirm that there was water in the bowl because he knew that Chen Jiajun strictly prohibited drinking while on duty, and the punishment was very severe.

"What's the difference? The Chen Jiajun just hired ordinary people to deliver water to the soldiers on duty. Are you talking about the military salutes of the Chen Jiajun soldiers?" Li Ruoshui looked at it carefully for a while, but still puzzled: "I do know this. The scope of use of the Chen Jiajun's military salutes is indeed Broadly, as in this case, someone who serves him will indeed be required to bow."

"You are wrong, this old woman is not hired." The middle-aged man replied.

"How do you know?" Li Ruoshui was a little surprised. The common people spontaneously gave water to the soldiers. In a social environment like the Song Dynasty, where soldiers were despised, it was really strange.

"Because I saw this old woman yesterday. Her son and daughter-in-law were killed by the Jin soldiers. She came on stage yesterday to identify them and planned to take revenge with her own hands. However, due to her weakness, the Jin soldiers were miserable." Middle-aged No one could describe it in detail, but Li Ruoshui could imagine it.

Scraping the flesh with a thin knife is called "Ling Chi" in punishment!
"In that case, it is very reasonable for her to repay her kindness today by giving some water to the soldiers!" Li Ruoshui replied, still not understanding what the middle-aged man meant.

"What you see is only this place. If you look over there, there is also over there, over there..." The middle-aged man pointed to several places in succession. Many Chen Jiajun soldiers had a lot of food and drink piled at their feet, but they didn't take any of them. , still standing upright: "I've seen no less than a hundred places in the past two days."

"Look at the child next to the woman and pay attention to the way he looks at the soldiers of the Chen Army." Before Li Ruoshui could continue to ask, the middle-aged man reminded him again: "What did you see?"

Li Ruoshui looked over and saw that the child's eyes were very innocent, as if his thoughts were written on his face, and his eyes revealed infinite yearning and longing.

"He wants to be him!" Li Ruoshui didn't elaborate on the two of them. They both knew what they meant.

"Yes, have you seen this kind of public sentiment?" the middle-aged man asked.

"Your Majesty is so wise that I have never seen him before." Li Ruoshui was convinced. He already understood what the middle-aged man meant.In fact, he also discovered it before, but he didn't see it so carefully. He only saw that Chen Jiajun was a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, and he might go far in the future, but he didn't see it so carefully.

He had recommended Li Gang to Chen Xun before because he wanted to invest in Chen Jiajun and planned to test Chen Xun's tolerance and overall view.

Li Ruoshui knew exactly what Li Gang would bring to Chen Jiajun and what consequences it might cause, but he still gave his advice.

He wanted to see what Chen Xun would do.

If Chen Xun could not tolerate Li Gang and killed him, Li Ruoshui would leave the Chen family army and assist the new emperor supported by the Song court.

If Chen Xun could tolerate Li Gang, he would choose to speak unanimously to the outside world first.Then Li Ruoshui will choose to stay in Chen Jiajun and help Chen Xun achieve his great cause.

This is a very difficult choice for both Chen Xun and Li Ruoshui.

After two battles in Kaifeng, Li Ruoshui was very disappointed with the Zhao family, but he was unwilling to surrender to the Jin people because they were a foreign race and because he still maintained his bottom line. "Those who are not of my race must have different minds!" He did not think that the Jin people could make the Han people live a good life, and he was unwilling to help the evildoers.

But Chen Xun was a standard Han Chinese, and he was still willing to sacrifice small profits for the greater good. The ambitious people who traveled thousands of miles north to fight against the Jin Dynasty voted for him without going against their will.

"I introduced you to General Chen Xun of the Chen Family Army. He wants to meet you first. Would you like to come over?" After today's instruction, Li Ruoshui has realized the gap between himself and Li Gang and started to use honorifics again. .

"Don't be so polite, the two of us are close friends, you will be out of touch if you are so polite." Li Gang knew that his current status was far worse than that of Li Ruoshui, and he was not a senior: "You lead the way, I just happened to I also want to meet this ‘Heavenly King descends to earth’ Chen Xun.”

"Have you heard about it too?" Li Ruoshui followed suit.

"It doesn't matter if you don't want to hear it. It's spread all over the streets and alleys. It's so magical. As long as you go out, it's everywhere. I can recite several paragraphs for you." Li Gang chuckled.

"Don't tell me, I've seen it with my own eyes, it's indeed extraordinary." Li Ruoshui replied seriously.

"Can you really change a living thing? Isn't it a magic trick?" Li Gang's face became serious when he saw that Li Ruoshui was not joking.

"It's absolutely true. A few days ago, the army generals didn't have enough meat. He conjured more than 1 old horses on the spot. Not only was there enough for the soldiers to eat, but some were also distributed to the people of Kaifeng." Li Ruoshui replied.

"Horse meat is so sour, can you eat it?" Li Gang smacked his mouth.

"Why don't you eat minced meat? In today's world, some meat is very good. But don't tell me, the horse conjured by General Chen is different from ordinary horses. Not only does it taste delicious , eating it is also very beneficial to the body." When Li Ruoshui said this, the secretion of saliva in his mouth intensified, and his voice changed: "I ate a few pieces, and I feel that my eyesight has improved a lot, and my energy every day has improved. It’s also more abundant.”

In later generations, the price of horse meat was very high, containing very rich nutritional value, and had the effects of restoring liver function, preventing anemia, promoting blood circulation, and enhancing human immunity.

The benefits of the strengthened Mongolian horses in the Wonderful Zoo will only be stronger after eating.
