Chapter 1411 Immortality is boring
Author: Sugar water pineapple
All the way to Zhufengfang, Xia Zhaoyi and Shen Lie were chatting.
Starting from the literary trend, we talked about more culture, and finally got involved in education, politics, geography, industry, agriculture, thought, economy, urban construction, military...
How long does the longest line need to be stretched and how far can the largest step take? Xia Zhaoyi always said ten years, twenty years or one hundred years before. In fact, she felt that with the vision and knowledge of these people now, it might be two hundred years. It will be very confusing.
Xia Zhaoyi joked: "I think it might be possible if I bribe some people like Tang Xiangsi, Wei Xingchuan, and Feng Qingang, whose powers of immortality come from unknown sources, and ask them to help me look after them. "
Shen Lie smiled lightly: "If they watch, they might steal the country."
"Really? I always feel that if I can achieve immortality, I no longer need power. Immortality is boring enough."
"But do you think Wei Xingchuan is boring?"
Xia Zhaoyi paused and smiled: "Yes, how can he be boring? He has to deal with the Qiao family every day, and he has to control the Fang family, the Jin family, and the Chen family. He is also deliberately trying to find Tang Xiangsi. He is busy Very.”
"Being busy means you have intentions. If he is so busy, he must have a big agenda behind him."
Xia Zhaoyi nodded thoughtfully and said with a smile: "Actually, what I said just now was not mentioned casually. I was thinking before that if immortality is really so boring, they should be yearning to change their appearance and find a new world. "
As she said that, she slowly stopped and looked at the bustling night market across the bridge: "Look, this place will be completely new from now on."
To be called prosperous does not mean that there are fish and dragons dancing in the long streets like Hengxiang, with all kinds of stalls lined up and shouting. Instead, there are people everywhere who are busy, knocking, pushing carts or delivering water.
In front of these crowds, brand-new houses are being built one after another, and children are jumping around and playing around, and from time to time they are chased away by bored craftsmen.
"They are people from the Ministry of Industry," Xia Zhaoyi said, "and those beggars are building houses for them."
"Cover it here?"
"Well, this is a very good area," Xia Zhaoyi looked around, "it's also lively. Beggars are the most vulnerable to abuse and harm. If they are placed in a busy city, there will be many fewer people who dare to use knives. But..."
Xia Zhaoyi looked south. Her large warehouse in Hejing was just south of the bridge across the city river.
There was more than one warehouse there, as well as other merchants' or officials' hoards. All the way out from the river across the city was the largest ferry in Hejing.
"I hope these beggars will be good people in the future and not become thieves or robbers." Xia Zhaoyi said, stepping onto the stone bridge.
The stone bridge is made of ancient bluestone slabs, with a lot of green moss growing in the gaps between the platform and steps.
Shen Lie followed up: "Even if you give them a livelihood, people who should steal will still steal. They may not be beggars, there are many ordinary people who are good at stealing."
"So the legislation must be strict and left to the officials in the Ministry of Civil Affairs who are still arguing endlessly."
Thinking of the officials he had heard in the past few days who were so noisy that they even tore up their books, Shen Lie said casually: "They have legislated laws, can you read them?"
Xia Zhaoyi walked lightly and climbed up a few times. After hearing this, she looked back at the highest point of the stone bridge and said with a smile: "This method must be judged in the end. My master is sitting here. If he doesn't want to take care of it, he can still If you have me, you can also help me refer to it."
Shen Lie raised his eyes and looked at her. It was rare to see her from such an angle. The wind in the river was strong. The girl was wearing a light yellow shirt fluttering in the wind. Her condescending smile revealed a hint of playfulness, and her eyes were filled with trust and warmth. It's like mist and rain, and it's bright because of the lights in the distance.
Shen Lie smiled slightly: "Okay, I must have a lot of imperfect thoughts, but I will read more books."
Xia Zhaoyi's smile deepened, and a hint of mischief suddenly appeared in her eyes. She put her hands behind her back, bent down, and looked into the heavy eyes without blinking, looking down at him who suddenly became flustered and then quickly pretended to be calm. 's black eyes.
Under the light of the starry night, the clean and cold outlines are diluted by the soft light, the eyebrows are clear and handsome, the spirit is handsome, and the frivolousness of the horse is not visible. It is still as cold as a snow-capped mountain, but it is a snow-capped mountain illuminated by the moonlight. .
Another strong gust of wind blew up, and the girl's ponytail was blown from behind, causing her skirt to fly. Her eyes were shining with a cunning brilliance, and were moist and crystal clear.
Shen Lie's lips parted slightly, his voice was hoarse, and he said in a very low voice: "...Ali?"
No matter how calm he pretended to be, Xia Zhaoyi could clearly see a faint blush climbing up his cheeks and ears. Xia Zhaoyi pursed her lips and smiled softly: "Well..."
She turned around and said with a bright face: "It is indeed good to read more, but there are some books that cannot be read. The more you read, the more pedantic you become."
Shen Lie's chaotic heartbeat finally stopped and he followed: "A few days ago, your master gave me several gifts, some of which I have never seen before. He said he wanted me to ask you."
"Huh?" Xia Zhaoyi looked at him curiously, "My master? Not Sect Master Gu?"
"Well, it's your master."
"It's strange..." Xia Zhaoyi muttered, "My master doesn't like to talk about things. He usually just says what he needs to say, so why beat around the bush."
"I do not know either."
"Okay then, I'll take a look when I get back."
"Um."
There is a flat area on the stone bridge, and across this flat area, there is a stone step going down.
A bunch of children were running around, several of them holding candied haws. When passing by Xia Zhaoyi and Shen Lie, almost every child would slow down and look up at them.
As soon as the overly eye-catching two people got off the bridge, the directors of the Ministry of Industry over there noticed it. They were not sure at first. As the two people got closer and closer, some people finally couldn't hold it anymore and came over to ask if it was Miss Ali and Shen. General.
Xia Zhaoyi smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about us, we are here to enjoy and find something to eat."
"Miss Ah Li, I heard there will be fireworks tonight, is it true?"
Another person also said hurriedly: "Yes! It is said to be here in Zhufengfang. I was supposed to have a rest tonight, so I came here specially to see it!"
Xia Zhaoyi looked at the sky and said, "It's still a while, it's the time of Xu."
"It really does!"
"some."
"Okay, then I'll go tell the brothers!"
Others also said goodbye and left. After a few steps, one person suddenly turned back and gave Shen Lie a thumbs up: "General Shen, you are so beautiful!!"
Shen Lie: "..."
Xia Zhaoyi lowered his head and chuckled.
Seeing that she was in such a happy mood, Shen Lie smiled and said, "I was praised."
Xia Zhaoyi said: "Even your enemies, no matter how much they hate you, they won't dare to call you ugly. Because you are really good-looking, and your beauty cannot be questioned."
Shen Lie's cheeks turned red again, and he smiled: "...I was praised again, thank you Ali."
Xia Zhaoyi raised his hand and cupped his fist lightly: "Today you praised me for being extremely beautiful, thank you Shen Langjun!"
As soon as she finished speaking, her eyes fell on a riverside inn to the right of Shen Lie. There was a man standing on the railing on the second floor. He was wearing a dark gown, neat and sharp, and his dark eyes met hers.
