"Ah owe-"
In the backyard of Jinchengfang Mansion, Li Ang sneezed, and the milling cutter suspended in his palm slowly stopped cutting the metal plate.
On the other side of the metal plate, He Fanshuang, who was wearing goggles, raised his head and asked calmly, "What's wrong?"
"nothing."
Li Ang shook his head, suppressed his doubts, took the coat from Chai Chai, and put it on.
Most of their classmates in the academy have gone to work in other places. Li Ang and He Fanshuang, who are still in Chang'an, want to do their best to do something for the Yu State.
For example, improving the talisman board of the next generation Reiki machine will improve efficiency and save manufacturing costs.
Originally, this project was supposed to be done in collaboration with Dr. Su Feng, but for some unknown reason, the latter had been staying in the mountain chief's original study during this period and rarely went out to meet people. Li Ang and the others visited several times, but were rejected.
“How about cutting this area thinner?”
"Increase the spiritual energy flux. Well, then this place needs to be thickened."
The two discussed the configuration of the talisman board, and the tacit understanding brought about by years of getting along greatly improved efficiency.
Before you know it, the sun has set, and the carving progress of the talisman board has reached three-quarters. In another two days, a preliminary plan will be formed, and the next step will be to improve it step by step until the finished product is released.
"It's time to eat."
The call of Chai Chai rang out in the living room. Li Ang took off his goggles and asked He Fanshuang, "Do you want to eat here?"
"No."
He Fanshuang shook his head, took off his gloves and put them on the grapevine stand nearby, "My brother and sister-in-law are back today and will eat at home."
He Siping had already made an engagement with his long-time lover and fellow student at the Academy last year. He originally planned to get married in June this year, but had to postpone it because of the floods in Xingzhou.
However, this did not affect He Siping's official marriage and moving to a new house in Changlefang.
In this case, Li Ang stopped trying to hold him back and looked at He Fanshuang's back as he walked out of the courtyard.
He walked back to the living room, finished dinner with Chai Chai, wrote something in the study as usual, and at the same time put his thoughts into the cave outside Chang'an City.
rumble--
In the well-insulated cave, the roar was deafening.
Hundreds of tentacles made of ink silk are forming some kind of huge structure.
not enough.
Even if Mo Si is completely released and can compare to a martial arts master, it will still not be enough to cope with the stormy waves in the next few years.
More power is needed
——————
Shengpingfang.
"I'm back."
He Fanshuang opened the door. Her parents, her brother He Siping, who had not been home for a long time due to busy work, and her sister-in-law Ying Banqing, who was about to leave home, were already waiting at the dinner table with sumptuous dishes.
"Going to Jinchengfang again?"
He Siping teased and said, "Let's eat."
"Business in the academy." He Fanshuang explained seriously before sitting down next to Ying Banqing.
Ying Banqing was born in a school, one year younger than He Siping, lively and cheerful, and good at talking. She currently works in the palace and is responsible for protecting the preschool princes and daughters.
At the dinner table, the family chatted while eating, and they talked about official business.
"Those Haotian believers are really annoying, because now it is inconvenient for them to enter and exit the city gate."
Ying Banqing held up her chopsticks and complained nonstop.
During this time, Haotian believers continued to rush to Chang'an from all over the Yu State. These people came in groups, neither resisting the government nor harassing others, but just went to pay homage to the Haotian Temple in Chang'an City and pray for Haotian thousands of miles away.
The leader prays for blessings.
During the day, every step of the way is blocked,
They dispersed in the evening, either staying at the homes of relatives and friends, or staying in restaurants and inns.
The imperial court was quite hesitant about this, because the Yu State did not prohibit Haotian's belief, and there was no law prohibiting people from making pilgrimages. They could not just catch it, otherwise it might cause a bigger disturbance.
"In the words of Shentu, these fanatical believers in Haotian are like languid, thin wolves in the wilderness. Courage is related to quantity."
Ying Banqing waved his chopsticks and said: "One or two horses is nothing to be afraid of. Even if you are traveling alone as a businessman, you can easily drive them away with a wooden stick.
But if they gather together, nine or ten horses, they will dare to choose people and devour them.
If the scale is hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands, even a strong and tough army would dare to charge head-on.
Even though they are docile now, once they exceed a certain number, we still don’t know what they will do.”
"Then what should we do? Is there no way to control them?"
He's mother asked quickly. Her children have all received education from the academy, and her son and daughter-in-law also serve in the court. Of course, they must support the State of Yu unconditionally.
"There are methods. They are already being done."
Ying Banqing said: "I heard from my classmate that the imperial court plans to first raise the prices of accommodation, meals, and drinks in the Chang'an Inn. Haotian is a lie, but hunger is real. Believers without money will naturally leave.
Then find the leader of the group and exploit their weaknesses."
"Weakness?" Father He asked curiously.
"There will always be people they value."
Ying Banqing put down the clean bowls and chopsticks and said casually: "For example, let's say there is news that the parents are sick at home, the brothers and sisters were beaten, the children are missing, etc. Even if the news is true or false, it must be known.
You need to go back and take a look to feel at ease, right?
In this way, another group of people have been screened out. When they want to come to Chang'an again, just block their tickets and issue a written ultimatum to prevent them from coming.
Without the support of my subordinates, the die-hard believers who remain in Chang'an City will not be able to cause much trouble."
Ying Banqing explained the inner secrets with a relaxed expression, but his tone did not hide his disgust for these crazy followers of Haotian.
As a child of the Academy, she has traveled to other countries and seen with her own eyes the living conditions of ordinary people under the rule of other countries.
The Zhou state, which retained slavery, regarded people as commodities that could be bought and sold in the market at will.
Turkic serfs have been working as cattle and horses for their lords for generations, and they are no better than livestock.
The people of Jing are ignorant and numb, and regard Haotian as the only way to escape. Farmers are even willing to burn grain to worship Haotian.
Taking the whole family to endure hunger.
These are all kingdoms that believe in Haotian,
Ying Banqing couldn't understand at all how people living in Yu country could want their country to become like this.
It would be okay to say that these fanatical believers are all powerful people. After all, they will not be hungry if they are hungry. However, according to observations these days, the most fanatical group of people are mostly civilians.
"Okay, okay, it's rare to go home and stop talking about these unhappy things."
He Siping stood up with a smile, picked up the dishes on the table, and took them to the sink to wash the dishes.
Zheng——
The imperial palace badge on the side of his waist made a crisp sound. He Siping used his mind to lift the bowl and chopsticks, picked up the badge and looked at it.
"What's wrong?"
Ying Banqing noticed the solemn expression on her fiancé's face and asked with a frown.
"Taihao Mountain,"
He Siping put down his badge and said solemnly: "I have published a petition to criticize Yu."
