Chapter 127: An official document

Gao Jian works very quickly, whether he is cutting meat, chopping trees, or moving things, he is very fast and can do the work of hundreds of people.

The physical body of a third realm warrior seemed particularly capable at this moment.

Moreover, during these ten days, Gao Jian also taught them some simple farming skills. Combined with the flesh and blood of monsters, many villagers made rapid progress and became much stronger.

Farm skills are easy to learn, and most of them are just some tricks.

Things like how to save effort when carrying a shoulder pole, how to train to allow qi and blood to stimulate muscles, etc., do not involve any advanced techniques, but can only be regarded as some fragments of first-level techniques, and are learned very quickly.

After about ten days of preparation, the entire village was demolished.

The wooden boards and beams of the house were used to make trailers or boxes.

Many more trees were chopped down. Gao Jian was very fast at processing wooden boards. With his knife skills, he could chop a log into boards of uniform specifications in just a few seconds.

Some vines were twisted into hemp ropes, which was mainly done by Gao Jian. It was very troublesome for ordinary villagers to twist hemp ropes. They had to use a hammer to continuously hit them to separate the fibers, and then weave the hemp ropes. But Gao Jian just had to pinch and twist them in his hands. His hands were as strong as those of a machine tool.

Together with the assembly and placement work of other villagers, after ten days, all the necessary things had been packed.

Finally, we are about to set off.

Because everything was ready and everyone was just waiting to be ready, so on the eve of departure, Gao Jian chose to talk to the children from the academy.

Most of these children are only about ten years old, with a few teenagers occasionally, but they are all well-mannered and well-educated.

After working together for more than ten days, many children have become familiar with Gao Jian. Therefore, although they respect Gao Jian, they are still a bit childish and lively.

Gao Jian was now saying to these children, "When you arrive at the Divine Dynasty, you must be careful. Things in this world are sometimes false, sometimes straight, sometimes crooked, sometimes straight, sometimes right, sometimes wrong, sometimes partial, sometimes just, sometimes half, sometimes full, sometimes big, sometimes small, sometimes difficult, sometimes easy. If you want to live a good life, you must learn to think, and you must carefully discern everything. You must analyze specific cases specifically, and you cannot generalize them with one word."

"In a nutshell, although it is convenient, it is also easy to do stupid things. You know, there is no key in the world that can open all doors."

One child immediately raised his hand and said, "But Mr. Zhou told us that there is a great way in the world. If we follow the way, everything will go smoothly. If we are impartial, everything will be successful. Mr. Gao, is this wrong?"

"Mr. Zhou is right, but the truth is in the heart, not in the world." Gao Jian pointed to his heart and said, "Every person sees different things. If you have the truth in your heart, you will be impartial. Even if ten thousand things happen, you will not be shaken. Although the way of dealing with ten thousand things is different, the truth is the same. If you can't do it, it's a problem of ability, not a problem of handling."

"The foundation of life cannot be shaken. Man is the foundation. Regardless of the current situation or future developments, regardless of the short term or the long term, it is what you can truly rely on. You all live by the lake, so you should have swum in it, right?" Gao Jian pointed to the lake.

"Yeah!" The children nodded naturally. They have lived by the water since they were young, so they are naturally good at swimming.

"It's just like swimming. The waves, wind direction, undercurrents, and water depth are all different at all times, so you need to make more judgments and observations. It all depends on how you swim and how you do it. It all depends on whether you take risks or seek stability. Your swimming skills and strength are the foundation of your life."

"What if I don't know what to do? There are many things in swimming that I don't know what to do." Another child raised his hand to ask a question.

Gao Jian spread his hands and said, "What should we do? Then use your brain to think about it. If you really can't figure it out, there is nothing you can do, right? Human power is limited, so be open-minded and do it when you have a way. Look at me, there are many things I can't do, don't I have to take my time? Fine gold and beautiful jade must be forged in the raging fire, and great achievements that shake the world must be walked on thin ice. Don't be impatient, find a way."

"But don't be impatient. This doesn't mean you can just lie down and wait for death! Even when you are busy, you should always check yourself when you are free. Think about it all the time, check yourself all the time, and go from more to less, from having to having nothing. After a while, the answer will be born in your heart."

Gao Jian said so.

Listening to Gao Jian's words, the other students nodded and began to think.

At this moment, Zhou Sheng suddenly came and said, "Mr. Gao, everything is ready, let's go!"

Gao Jian stood up: "Okay, let's go!"

Following a few calls.

The villagers dragged their trailers and began the long journey.

This place is about a thousand miles away from the border of Cangzhou. At this speed, it will probably take more than ten days to walk.

If we can get there in ten days, it will be just in time to prepare for the next wave of spring planting, right?

Gao Jian was not going to get involved in what happened afterwards. He just wanted to let them develop on their own. He would just take these academy kids and Zhou Sheng to the outer city of Cangzhou.

Gao Jian was not going to deal with the affairs after the outer city.

He knew that he was not cut out to be a leader and that he would never be able to accomplish these things.

Besides, he can be said to be a big tree in the outer city of Cangzhou now.

If it is various small seedlings with thin leaves, it would be nice to shelter under a big tree to enjoy the shade.

But under a big tree, no other big tree can grow.

Gao Jian still hopes that they can grow into big trees.

Otherwise… even if the blood sacrifice is ended, there will be other sacrifices, and there will be other ways to drain their blood.

--------

Twelve days later, Cangzhou capital.

At the junction of the outer city and the inner city, where the city wall is located, an inconspicuous official document is hung.

Letter:

"There are more and more impeachment documents nowadays, which is a sign that the established law is completely destroyed. The court is well aware of the harm and has ordered an investigation and punishment. The announcement is as follows:

Subordinates of the Temple Priest:
The chief priest of the ancestral temple was Zuo Wang.

Yuanwailang Zuolong.

Ceremony Zuowu.

Secretary: Zuo Shuangshi, Zuo Liu.

Monks and nuns: Left white.

The divination officer: Zuo Zhuoduo.

The people mentioned above have seven faults.

Being favored by the emperor, he gave protection to all kinds of evil gods and would rather let the treasury be empty and the labor service be scarce than to indulge in lewd and excessive sacrifices. This was one of the mistakes in his policies.

He implemented corrupt policies, promoted hundreds of redundant officials, regarded official positions as personal connections, disregarded titles and salaries as dirt, and promoted incompetent and trusted cronies. These were the second mistakes in his policies.

Accepting bribes, making peace with evildoers, causing subordinates to follow suit, taking evil ways as the right path, and treating laws as waste paper - these are the three failures in government policy.

He arbitrarily examined sacrifices, sent officials to inspect several times, led people to do labor, and harassed the local areas. The people in the capital were already suffering greatly. How could they bear it? This is the fourth mistake of the government.

The private love affair with the clan members caused the Zuo family to be arrogant and occupy the land, implicated the family, ruined the family property, and caused the voice of injustice and hurt the harmony. This is the fifth mistake of the government. He misled the land administration, joined forces with thieves, and robbed the treasury. His crimes were extremely serious. He relied on the power of his family and repeatedly impeached them, but he did not retreat. The criminal code has not been corrected until now. This is the sixth mistake of the government.

He secretly controlled the official army, secretly supported the military craftsmen in the palace, privately transferred troops from various warehouses, and asked various government offices to retain them, using the state's barracks for private use. This was the seventh mistake in his government orders.

It is not easy to mention all of these. Previously, they relied on their family power to impeach loyal ministers and watched helplessly. This shows that they are hurting the harmony of heaven and earth and undermining the country. Now that their crimes have been exposed, they should be strictly warned and executed in the market according to the national law to thank the people. "

This official document just hangs there, but few people pay attention to it. After all, it seems to have nothing to do with everyone's life.

The people from the outer city paid more attention to the restaurants nearby.

The entire capital city of Cangzhou is basically not self-sufficient in food, so it needs to rely on water transportation and transfer it from many counties throughout Cangzhou.

For this reason, there are many sailors in Cangzhou who often travel thousands of miles by boat to transport all kinds of things to the outer city of Cangzhou to meet the food and clothing needs of tens of millions of people in this city.

As a result, some restaurants were developed based on the canal transportation, which provided meals for those who did the hard labor, such as porters and boat trackers.

Among them, the place with the most restaurants is at the junction of the inner and outer cities, because this is the largest river and the most supplies are unloaded here.

These bitterlings do not eat for the sake of taste or any kind of nourishment. They just want to fill their stomachs and feel warm and full in their stomachs after eating, so most of them eat soup noodles.

They have done their work, even coming here from thousands of miles away, and have just unloaded the goods. Then they sit in the restaurant and eat a bowl of soup noodles with some toppings and some rotten meat like offal and blood neck. They finish the meal with a slurp and then burp, as if all the hardships they have experienced along the way have turned into a breath of foul air and they wipe their mouths after eating and leave, and then they can devote themselves to the next job.

Therefore, most of the people walking around in these small restaurants are these people.

But today is a little different.

There are dozens of dolls sitting in the restaurants nearby.

The youngest ones were six or seven years old, and the oldest ones were eleven or twelve years old. They sat in a row on stools, looking around, as if they had never been to such a huge city before, and had never eaten these offal soup noodles.

There are two adults beside these dolls.

One was a dark-skinned, well-proportioned man with thick calluses on his hands and feet, looking like he had been worked a lot.

This man is a celebrity. Everyone working at the surrounding docks knows him. His name is Li Jun, and he is the foreman of these thousands of docks.

Another one looked like a scholar, carrying a backpack, as if he had just come from a long journey. He was wearing leggings and straw sandals with a lot of mud on them, and was also holding a bowl of soup noodles.

Li Jun patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I have prepared a house for you. Although it is not a big house, it is also the kind of dormitory where the laborers lived in the past, but it can still accommodate dozens of people."

"You already have a realm, and you are also a scholar. Why don't you use that place to open a private school right here?"

"Opening a private school is no problem, but I'm still too new to this place, and I'm afraid I don't know the details if I contact outsiders rashly..."

"Why should a private school teach outsiders? I happen to have a lot of rough guys here who can't read a single word. I've been thinking about letting them read some books and learn a few words. I just want to hire a few teachers. Why not use your private school? The tuition fee is whatever it is. How about it?" Li Jun suggested immediately.

Zhou Sheng nodded repeatedly. Since he could make money by teaching, he would not refuse. "Of course, then, just put the money for the house on record. I will pay it back every month."

"Okay, we've settled all the accounts that need to be settled. By the way, this is the first time I see a high school captain bringing people here. What's going on with you? Why are there such a bunch of kids here?" Li Jun asked curiously.

"This is a long story." Zhou Sheng considered for a while.

"It's okay. We've already arrived at the outer city of Cangzhou. We have plenty of time. Tell me in detail. Don't be afraid." Li Jun looked familiar.

"Then I'll tell you." Zhou Sheng was not on guard, or rather, he was not that wary of the outside world, especially since Li Jun was introduced by Mr. Gao.

So, he told him everything about the blood-raising food in the Dragon Palace, his senior brother Mr. Zhou, and what happened in Baishan River.

This story, along with the embellishments of the children nearby, recounted what Gao Jian had done by the lakeside.

After hearing this story, Li Jun looked confused.

No?

So outrageous? !
But if you think about it, there doesn’t seem to be any problem.

Especially when it comes to things involving "God", I heard that many government agencies are now tracking down "evil gods".

Li Jun had heard about this a long time ago. Just in the past ten days, the prefect personally issued an order to hunt down all the evil gods who oppressed the people in order to correct the atmosphere in Cangzhou.

The official documents were still hanging on the city gate, and Li Jun could still recite them. After all, these official documents were things that he needed to pay attention to all the time.

Many times, a piece of official document can decide the life and death of many people.

He still remembers what was written on it.

Li Jun recalled the official documents and heard Zhou Sheng narrating those events, which made him guess some things.

if it is like this……

The lieutenant of the university really did a great thing.

Moreover, Li Jun was not the only one who was surprised.

Even the boss who was cooking soup noodles nearby was stunned. They had rarely heard such bizarre and tortuous things when listening to storytelling in the teahouse.

The storytelling in teahouses is mostly about things like gods and immortals, kings, princes, generals and ministers, but there is no such shocking thing as raising human beings. What's more, the stories are told very vividly, such as what the patrolling yakshas do and how they eat people during the New Year festivals.

Furthermore, Mr. Zhou claimed that this was "real", and the children around him kept adding various details, which made more and more people around listen.

Soon, a bunch of people gathered around who came to eat, some were just passing by, and some just followed because there were so many people.

Despite the presence of so many people, Zhou Sheng was not at all stage-frightened. He remained quiet and told the story in a calm and composed manner.

This way of narration is also very new to people in the outer city of Cangzhou. Other storytellers prefer to say something and then slap the wooden stick to stop talking. In order to attract attention, they would like to make something shocking and not stop until their words are shocking.

This indifferent style, on the contrary, attracted another group of people, especially since the matter involved the college lieutenant.

These days, the news about the university lieutenant has spread far and wide.

I heard he can ride a dragon!

When Zhou Sheng finished speaking, Li Jun stood up and clapped his hands: "Okay, okay, the story is over, let's go, I'm going to take my people away."

Li Jun was also a famous person. Compared with the high school lieutenant who was far away, the foreman Li who was right in front of him was obviously more effective in speaking, so the crowd quickly dispersed.

Seeing that everyone had dispersed, Zhou Sheng suddenly asked, "By the way, Brother Li Jun, why can't I see Mr. Gao?"

"The boss? He went to the inner city." Li Jun smiled, then he turned his head involuntarily and looked towards the inner city.
