As night falls, lights gradually light up in Chengdu, first in sporadic drops, and then into a lake of light that spreads out one by one.
The results of geophysics that have been nurtured for more than ten years since Ning Yi's arrival, two years after the large-scale explosion in Chengdu, have made this place one of the most special existences in the entire era.
The industrial zone on the outskirts of the city is spreading into the distance. The little lights illustrate the fact that many factories have not stopped working even at night. With the military industry of the Chinese Army as the core, a large number of outsiders have also detonated the city's domestic demand.
, cement, masonry, silt, firewood... Various industries related to construction and people's livelihood are booming, and with the large-scale open technology sharing of Huaxia Army, countless foreign businessmen have begun to take root here, learn and promote
With various industrial and handicraft technologies.
Sichuan and Shu have been a land of abundance since ancient times, but during the peace period, due to the prosperity and prosperity of the Central Plains, it was at most a good place to retire. However, both the Central Plains and Jiangnan fell, and after war broke out, the Chinese army defeated the Jurchen West Route Army
The success finally attracted a large number of wealthy gentry and merchants to enter.
Business in the Wu Dynasty was quite developed in the past. Nowadays, as long as there are still some merchants with some ambition and some property, most of them will want to come to the southwest to take a look. Once they see the technology disclosed by the Chinese Army, people will be more or less interested in it.
Shaodi will also make an investment here and lay down a foundation. Because any discerning merchant will know that even if they can't make money in the southwest, the accumulation of technology and efficiency exploration here will determine the future of an industry.
life and death.
After two years of rapid development, the industrial areas on the periphery of the city still look messy, and some places are crowded with shacks. However, the scene of a large number of people gathering together, and the dots of light melting into the night still show a strange and lively atmosphere.
.
And between the industrial zones, there are still a large number of passers-by passing through even at night. At the north and south ends of the city, what forms a strange scene are two paths spreading with dots of light. This is a carriage track that was just built in the middle of this year. It is made of logs
The track is paved with sand and gravel as the base, and large carriages with modified wheels are placed on it. Packhorses are used as power to haul heavy objects. The lanterns set up by these large freight carriages will stretch out into a patchwork of dots at night.
The exceptionally orderly light path is also pleasing to the eye.
This kind of wooden rail trailer was initially considered a beautiful and useless "eccentricity" by critics in the city. Some people thought it was just Ning Yi's "eccentricity". However, after several months of operation, these large trucks were
The efficiency shown in the shipping data shocked everyone.
With the same number of packhorses, railcars can even easily pull twice as much cargo at twice the speed; now that they have been recently installed and have experienced several breakdowns, the railcars' cargo transport efficiency is still as high as that of ordinary freight carriages.
This data once made the discussion of efficiency a hot topic in the city for several months, and also greatly alleviated the cargo throughput problem after the efficiency and quantity development of various industries outside the city.
The light in the outer factory area at most comes from the overtime work of the factory. After passing through the quaint city wall, reaching the inner city, the light of lanterns on some of the bustling streets becomes more dense. There are all kinds of food, theater, and a
Restaurants and teahouses make up the bustle of nightlife in this city. Old Confucians and New Confucians wearing long robes are talking loudly in the buildings, and new cultural people are reading newspapers and communicating in the halls of teahouses and discussing current affairs. This
It is a city of change, and there are many things to exchange every day.
And among the lively streets, the high-rise boats on the waterway and the public carriages walking between important blocks bring the flow of light, like important blood vessels in the city, with blood flowing endlessly. Some pedestrians on the road mention
Holding lanterns, they walked gracefully while talking among the ancient trees. There were also merchants in a hurry, or travelers who had just arrived in your land... some were in ragged clothes, alone, or in groups, calling for friends and looking at each other.
Watching the bustling city at night or the weird scenes on the streets, I was shocked.
A clash of cultures is taking place here.
As the two poles of this cultural conflict, one end is naturally the group represented by Confucian scholars in the city. This is the elite bred by both the old culture and the essentially mainstream culture. Their basic characteristic is usually wearing elegant long robes, which is suitable for young people.
A person with high moral integrity is usually called an old Confucian in a society where it is extremely difficult to change his thinking;
Corresponding to the old Confucianism is the relatively young "New Confucianism". Many young people are often disciples of the great Confucianism. They read the books of sages and look forward to the day when heaven and earth will bring peace to the emperor's family and bring peace to all generations. However, when they are in conflict with the Chinese
During the military debate, they also gradually accepted part of the influence of efficiency thinking and object thinking. In terms of external characteristics, the "New Confucians" often wore Chinese military-style boots or shoes when wearing long robes.
, some of them will also carry relatively convenient graphite pens with them, and carry notebooks for writing at any time, which are matched with more convenient pockets sewn into the gown;
The thinking that corresponds to Confucianism is naturally the dialectical materialism that Hua Xiajun has always advocated, the four peoples, and the dialectical materialism that not many people can clearly grasp. The dialectical materialism emphasizes efficiency and empirical evidence, and everyone is equal and downplays superiority and inferiority. Dialectical materialism requires teleology and teleology.
Methodological support, in short, is that Confucius's remarks are his assumptions about how to reach the Great Harmony society in the Spring and Autumn Period. It has the limitations of one moment and another. Anyone who cannot see the teleology and thinks that what the sage teacher said is all the truth
People who think that a methodology is correct for everything are big fools...
The conflict of cultural viewpoints is of course complicated, and the external manifestation of the thinking of the Chinese army is mostly reflected in the bunt outfit with pockets sewn on it.
In the past culture, the elegant long gown was a symbol of nobility, while the short dress mostly belonged to lowly manual workers. On the one hand, this is because educated people can slow down and look good, on the other hand, it is also because of the development of the weaving industry.
Soft fabrics often look better only when made into long gowns.
After Ning Yi rebelled, he first put forward a large number of new requirements for military uniforms. The Su family's weaving industry background catered to these requirements. After more than ten years of innovation and improvement, the military uniforms of the Huaxia Army are now straight and straight.
Handsome. This development gradually entered the civilian clothing industry, which gave birth to a large number of "short" clothes that are clean and convenient for work, and will not be hung up by mechanical hooks, and have become a symbol of cultural confrontation.
Now in Chengdu, the young people who support Ning Yi's four-people thinking and efficiency thinking mainly come from a series of officers who have participated in the Chinese military training courses. They are either members of the army or government servants.
I am not necessarily obsessed with the symbolism of clothing. But at other levels of society, a large number of workers and managers who are literate, able to write and do arithmetic quickly become the main force in the ideological confrontation of the Huaxia Army.
Some of these people were poor people in the past, and more were ordinary people from poor families. There were also a small number of low-status merchants and accountants. In the years after the Chinese army jumped out of Liangshan, various training courses were held.
By absorbing people from the bottom of society into factories, they can be easily literate, hyphenate, and learn arithmetic. During this process, many smart people were discovered while working or studying, and then there was a process of active learning, and they began to understand this
the reality of the world.
The training courses of the Huaxia Army attach great importance to performance, and the people who stand out have superior IQs. In the process of the rapid development of the Chinese military industry base, these people have gradually become unique figures in their own fields. Some of them have an understanding of assembly lines and overall planning efficiency.
Profoundly, some have made rapid breakthroughs in the field of mathematics, and some have discovered the principles of management on their own. These people began to spontaneously contribute to the "theoretical legitimacy" of the Huaxia Army.
Their knowledge is relatively scientific, and their attitudes are also relatively extreme. However, in the discussions and quarrels, these "quickly achieved" cultural people in work and life are also rapidly strengthening their three views.
and logical structure, and the symbol of their unity is the Chinese military dungarees uniform with full pockets and suitable for work. Most of them will cut off the long hair of their "parents" for the convenience of work and management.
Instead, they have shaved heads or even shaved heads. This is also something they are often criticized for in public disputes in the city.
During the fierce written debate, Ning Yi deliberately exported private goods in several anonymous articles and defined these people as "new cultural people". Now this term has gradually been accepted by the public, but we still don't know.
In this era, will this term eventually become a derogatory or a complimentary concept?
Based on the dispute between these two poles, more strange costumes appeared in the city.
The conflict of cultures was fierce and chaotic. It was knocked off the track of Confucianism, but it did not enter the direction that Ning Yi was familiar with. New thinking and the old culture tore at each other, but parts of them gradually merged, and various
Weird ideas are also appearing one after another.
But in any case, amid such fierce cultural debates and rapid construction and development, the entire Chengdu is now showing a "between heaven and earth" style. Even the conservative old Confucian who is most opposed to Ning Yi cannot help but admit it.
, now it has become the political and cultural center of the entire world.
On an October night, a political and cultural storm was brewing over this city, making countless people whisper and feel uneasy.
In the north of the city, the most precious dining garden is called "Yingzhou". The lanterns in the garden have already been cleverly lit up among the old pines and cypresses, and the corridors and rockeries. At midnight, the carriage enters from the hidden side door of the garden.
Lin Qiu, smelling of alcohol, ran out of the car, found a corner, and retched several times while leaning on the wall.
There were several people in Langyuan who were preparing to come over to greet them. Seeing this scene, the leader also hurried over, and the middle-aged fat man who followed Lin Qiu out of the car waved his hand: "Lin Chu drank too much. This is the second game. I have been beaten by him."
Hu Haiwen and his gang were dragged over from the grandson's dinner party, so that's enough face for everyone, so please take it easy."
"Let's make another date for the second match." The person who first greeted Lin Qiu gently patted Lin Qiu's shoulder, feeling sad and said, "Old Tan, why don't you take care of Lin Qiu."
Everyone who greeted him agreed: "Yes, another day, another day!"
"I was wrong. You were in a hurry to see Lin Chu." The middle-aged fat man apologized and retorted.
My health has gotten worse...
Holding on to the wall, Lin Qiu felt the changes in his body. He was absent-minded for a moment, but then he waved his hand and turned around: "Brother Chen still loves and protects me." There was a slight smile on his face, "But it goes without saying that Lao Tan
, Firstly, Brother Chen summoned me, the director of the department, how dare I not come? Secondly, the place where the person named Hu invited me got tired of eating, so I wanted to sit here."
He was a little bit smiley, and his words were not very kind. The other party immediately clasped his fists: "No, no, Lin Chu's status is not in the same position as us. Don't we all rely on Lin Chu?
There has been a big move recently, and I really want to see him. This makes Lao Tan..."
"Can't I see you in the office?" Lin Qiu looked at him. After a moment, he turned into a smile and patted the other person on the shoulder: "Okay, okay, eat, eat, actually...Brother Chen
, I’ve been really busy recently, but it’s a good thing for you. I don’t know why you are so nervous. Take a walk and let me have a good meal..."
His expression softened, and everyone felt relieved. They immediately gathered around him and headed inside. After a while, the group went up to the large private room on the second floor and sat down in front of the luxurious round table. All kinds of dishes were served like water.
The leader surnamed Chen among the crowd put a piece of golden tofu into Lin Qiu's bowl.
"I know that Lin Chu likes tofu. The new dish here, Bazhen Tofu, uses eight kinds of delicacies from the mountains and the sea. What stands out is its simplicity! By the way, can we still serve wine?"
"Come on, you can't put on airs in front of your brothers."
"It's the greatest honor for Lin Chu to come here. Then drink a little."
With a smile, Lin Qiu poured the wine, moved his chopsticks to the tofu, and then said: "Lin Chu, it's not that we can't hold our breath. In the past two months, our hearts have been surging. Seeing that the Chinese army is really going to take action.
, to open it - a feat that has not happened in a thousand years, we all want to help if we can, aren't we just waiting for Lin Chu and the superiors to give orders -"
The delicacies were soothing to the eyes, the lights were intoxicating, and the room was elegantly decorated. Everyone in the room burst into agreement. Lin Qiu raised his glass and laughed too...
…
"The storm is gathering. The storm is about to come."
While Lin Qiu was taking time out of his busy schedule to rush to one meal after another, in a relatively quiet courtyard in the southwest end of the city, Yu Hezhong was opening the curtains by the window and looking at the lights intertwining in the city.
Not far behind him, Li Shishi was sitting at the desk finishing an essay at hand. The Huaxia Army has been extremely busy recently, and land reform is imminent. Propaganda work is a big part of it, and most of her staff have been redeployed.
She went to help various working groups. In addition to the diplomatic work she had performed in the past, this time the Huaxia Army said it wanted to take over the land, and many gentry and landlords whom she had recruited in the past also came to look for her in turn, making her want to be alone these days.
Break it in half and use it: half for working, and half for complaining to Ning Yi.
Yu Hezhong's visit was one of the things that she didn't need to expend too much energy to deal with. Many times she could hear some gossip from the other party that others didn't dare to tell her.
Of course, compared to this friend's restraint and lack of confidence at the beginning of the reunion, after having been a man of the hour in Chengdu for more than a year, Yu Hezhong was at the peak of his life at this time. Now his magnanimity and words,
What he sees and hears is even calmer than that of more than ten years ago. He often talks about it, and always brings many fashionable new words to his mouth. In Chengdu, he has several regular confidante.
It is said that his demeanor in conversation has impressed many foreign ladies.
In essence, he is now one of the most important relationship brokers in the city. This is because on the one hand, he can control Yan Daolun with Dai Mengwei's back, and on the other hand, he is an old acquaintance with Ning Yi and Li Shishi.
The actual affairs should be handed over to Lin Qiu. In this way, whether they are old or new Confucianists or the cultural upstarts of the Chinese army, he can contact and talk to them as a middleman, and due to his tool-man nature, there is no problem in any aspect.
Being too careful about him actually made him aloof in the entire environment and gained countless benefits.
"...Now in the market, people are panicking." Looking at the lights, Yu Hezhong said, "The old scholars outside say that Ning Yi has lost his mind and gone crazy. If he wants to achieve eternal hegemony, this is not how he does it."
"He has never lost his mind." After listening to Yu Hezhong's words, Shishi laughed, "From the regicide back then, to the attack on Xixia, then on the Jurchens, and on the killing of Lou Shi, and then on to the Xiaocang River
In the past few years, until the last Southwest War, he would go crazy every few years. Just get used to it and you'll be fine."
"That's not what I said. This time, everyone feels it is a pity." Yu Hezhong said, "Look at the light outside, Master, do you think it is more beautiful than Bianliang back then? Look...
…The east wind blows thousands of flowers and trees at night. Even more, the stars are falling like rain. The fragrance of BMWs and carved cars fills the road. The sound of phoenix flutes, the light of jade pots, and the dance of fish and dragons all night... Two hundred years of Bianliang is gone, and everyone has lost their talents.
It’s a pity.”
"Numerically speaking..." Shishi paused, "It has indeed exceeded."
"That's what it means. It's been two years since Chengdu and more than two hundred years since Bianliang... Recently, those old and new Confucian scholars outside have very complicated moods. Master, do you know that the great Confucian He Rongchao said two days ago that he wanted to talk to his disciples and friends?
Let's write a letter together, asking Mr. Ning to take back his life. The country seizes people's land and says they will fight landlords for the sake of fairness. It sounds very beautiful, but when this country reaches its second or third generation, who will stop the country's corruption? He Rongchao has always been a
Those who are against the new culture are a bit reluctant to eat Zhou Su, but when Ning Yi wants to do this, he panics, fearing that if he doesn't live a good life, he will suffer a setback."
"That's true." Shishi pursed his lips and smiled, "There have been a lot of people handing me over recently. Many people who didn't want to talk to us in the past couldn't help but come to persuade us this time. This is
It's a good thing, Mr. Ning said, this is an affirmation of our work in the past two years."
"Of course it's for sure. Regarding the situation in Chengdu in the past two years, especially the theory of efficiency in physical studies, those Confucian scholars said privately that Mr. Ning did have a vision. Even if they are unwilling to acknowledge Ning Yi's contribution, now the Confucian scholars are not
They also strongly promoted Mozi, saying that Mozi would be ranked alongside Confucius and Mencius and become a saint through the ages... But they were really worried. This time, they didn't mean to say harsh words, and people actually started to give in to Ning Yi.
, you just have to worry about it, don’t waste it in Chengdu..."
As Yu Hezhong spoke, he couldn't help but laugh. After a while, he said: "Master, Ning Yi, is there really no fear at all? These old and new Confucian people, using new words, that's a lifetime.
For those engaged in education, I have seen the recent propaganda, which says that the enlightened people should control the government, but... this is a beautiful word, a gentleman is virtuous, a villain is virtuous, what do those rural farmers know? We need to teach them to understand.
It is necessary to understand rationality on a large scale, but if you look at those great Confucian scholars, most of their children cannot be taught to understand rationality, and only a few of them become talented people. They are the ones who know the most about education, so they are afraid...
"
Shishi stopped writing and was silent for a moment, and Yu Hezhong also paused: "And... to put it bluntly, what do you need? Isn't it just such a peaceful and prosperous age? Shishi, I am dull by nature, but lately I have heard,
I also understand that those Confucian scholars are speaking against Ning Yi, because Ning Yi said that he wanted to destroy Confucianism. He destroyed Confucianism because he wanted to develop the study of things, but the study of things has already been developed. Now that he has strong troops and horses, what can those rockets do in the future?
Development, one day he will defeat the Jurchens, conquer the world, and spread the prosperity of Chengdu. I think he shouted to destroy Confucianism, and those Confucian scholars can really bear it. Ning Yi has opinions on them, and if he has opinions, he has opinions, and he can compromise
Yes, but why bother with this step of land reform? Look at what has become of all those who have divided their fields..."
"And... to be honest, Master, I'm also afraid... that the prosperity of Chengdu will suddenly disappear like Bianliang. It's okay to be here now, it's really great...
…”
After saying this, the room became quiet. Shishi thought for a while, wrote a few strokes on the paper, and then said with a smile: "Who are you helping to find out the information?"
"Yan Daolun, who else could it be?" Yu Hezhong did not hesitate, "According to your propaganda, if this matter is really done, it will certainly be a great achievement that has never been seen in the ages. It will be like the great unity of the world.
Who is not the emperor of the ages? The saint of all ages? But if you can't do it, you will die. Look at Ning Yi's desperate efforts, which scared the scornful scholars who opposed him. Of course, others are also afraid... Yan Daolun and the others are busy recently.
In order to open a factory and make money, he also hopes that the development of Chengdu can last forever. I think he has almost forgotten the mission given to him by Liu Gong. He is happy here and does not miss the Central Plains."
"...So what does Yan Daolun want to know?"
"He just wants to see how determined you guys can be. Then, if the land is really taken up, how will it be used in the future? Can everyone get a share of it...what else can be done?"
Master thought about it for a while.
"The aspect of land use is indeed the focus of this work, but as you know in Hezhong, this charter will definitely change according to the situation of land resumption, so it is currently an ideal basic framework. If the land resumption goes smoothly, the land resumption will be successful.
This will lead to the emergence of a large number of new plans. Which land will be allocated to villagers, which land will be used for commercial development, and which access roads will all require an overall plan, so for the time being I can’t think of anyone who can get the benefits. Of course, if he is referring to land resumption
What loopholes can be exploited in the process? We also want to know this now."
"What Yan Daolun mainly wants to find out is probably how determined he will be to retake the land this time, whether he will compromise, whether he can negotiate, and even whether he will kill people and how many people he will kill. Let's put it this way... Back in Bianliang,
Anyone in Ning Yi's position would probably not choose to kill the emperor, but he would kill him if he said so..."
"...Later, when we arrived at Xiaocang River, the Xixia people invaded, and the Chinese army did not amount to more than 10,000 people. As far as I know, Zuo Duanyou persuaded him, but he said he would fight, so he fought anyway...Then the Jurchens went south for the third time,
Lou Shi was the commander-in-chief, and Xi Yin sent people to Xiaocang River to persuade Ning Yi to surrender in name. You also know the result... Until several years later, including the war at Xiaocang River and the Southwest War, the entire world had fallen. Xi Yin
Yin still sent someone to say that everyone could talk, but Ning Yi just said, if you come to the southwest, I will bury you..."
"He Zhong, Hua Xia Jun's attitude is very gentle every time he recuperates. When Ning Yi does business, he upholds a good attitude toward others. Before these big decisions, Hua Xia Jun worked hard to develop like Chengdu in the past two years.
Working hard to do business... Including the two years in Chengdu, we opened the door to accept everyone. Ning Yi even let these great scholars speak casually in newspapers. Many people were opposed to it, but in the end we ushered in great development... Now those Confucian scholars are very
Cherish the development of Chengdu, as if the development of Chengdu has anything to do with them, and as if Ning Yi's heart has been with them in the past two years of Chengdu's development. In fact, it is not the case. Ning Yi's attitude has always been his.
Sometimes these people understand what he wants to do, and sometimes they don't understand him. When they can't understand, it doesn't mean that Ning Yi's attitude has changed in any way..."
"Actually, sometimes, I can't understand him. There have been arguments in the past..." Shishi smiled, "But over the years, many things have proven that he is right. Hezhong, you can tell Yan Daolun and let him take a look.
As for the operation of politics in this city, in August the National Congress officially passed the proposal to promote the implementation of the Four People's Thought. After mid-term, more than 600 representatives raised their hands to adopt the basic ideas of land reform. Next, seven departments met one after another to establish the basic ideas.
Framework, issued orders, researched methods, and then began to mobilize working groups from the middle and lower levels. The Propaganda Department compiled promotional materials and formulated publicity strategies. The working groups held trainings after meetings, and Ning Yi participated in every actual training..."
"It took two months and tens of thousands of people to work. Three days ago, the list of the first batch of one hundred villages was announced. The first batch of personnel has been dispatched. In fact, we have already prepared for what will happen next.
We have a plan. The 6,000 people transferred from the Seventh Army have already completed the defense changes at various points. The person in charge of leading the troops this time is Ning Yi’s Mrs. Liu. Do you know what this means? Over the years, she has
She has always been the person who supports Si Min the most, so why let her take the job?"
"During this period, some of the big landowners who came to Chengdu threatened to go up the mountain. We collected information here, but the army did not move at all, and did not take any measures or preventive measures. You can see what will happen next.
In this matter, the arrangement of the plan is very clear. If anyone dares to take action, the Chinese Army will take action."
"The scholar outside handed Ning Yi a note, hoping that he would take back his life. Ning Yi thought it was funny. Do you know what he said about this? This is a... machine that has been activated. Thousands of people are like this.
As for the parts of the machine, if someone stands in front of the machine, the machine will crush him. If someone wants to cause some problems to the machine internally, someone will come to repair it and clean it. Chengdu's two-year prosperity has made people outside think that he is very important.
Wen, thinking that the Chinese Army is a moderate...big market..."
"But when it comes to deciding what to do, the Chinese Army has been more determined than anyone or any force since more than ten years ago. If we want to use the enemy's words to describe it, the Chinese Army can do things fairly.
Party members are even more ferocious. He Wen has been attending classes in the Southwest for several years. After leaving, he made a mess, but he still became a tyrant. But don’t forget that Ning Yi has been thinking about this matter for ten years.
For many years.”
The words spoken by the person sitting behind the desk were soft, even the word ferocious, as light as telling a fairy tale to a child, with a strange gentleness. Yu Hezhong was stunned. In two years, he was in this gentle place in Chengdu.
In the countryside, he suddenly thought that the Huaxia Army had become a group that was kind to others, and then seemed to be rich and wanted to put on shoes and walk ashore. But it was at this moment that Shishi really reminded him that this was a group
There are many people who have done incredible things in the face of adversity.
He thought for a while and finally nodded.
"Recalling that more than ten years ago, I met Li Heng and had a talk with him. It really felt like a world away..."
The master thought for a while and smiled: "As long as you want to see it, you can see it next time. Brother Yu, the Huaxia Army... has its own ideals, and has been doing things down-to-earth over the years. Although the place has become bigger recently,
But there is an urgent shortage of manpower. If you..."
At this point of her words, Yu Hezhong waved his hand: "Oh, I know, but... I have been stupid all my life, Master, you... this... let's not talk about this, okay. In fact, it's up to you
In front of me, I don’t want to talk nonsense anymore. Tell me, if Liu Gong’s battle in the Central Plains goes well and Zou Xu is captured, can I be promoted to an official or something? This is what I am murmuring about now..."
Shishi raised his forehead and said, "I don't understand this."
She said she didn't understand, but in fact she understood Hezhong's troubles. In the past year, he had enjoyed great happiness in Chengdu as the middleman between Liu Guangshi and the Huaxia Army, and had a status he had never had before, but this was also
Liu Guangshi wanted to make good friends with the Huaxia Army, and she was supporting the Huaxia Army. Once the outcome of the Central Plains War came to an end, the relationship between the two parties would probably undergo new changes. As he was not very capable,
, it is natural to feel anxious.
But in fact, Shishi’s plan for him had already existed in the previous words. He had refused. As a friend, Shishi could not say much anymore. As a middle-aged man in his forties, many
After all, he needs to bear the consequences of his decision.
She lowered her head to write, and the two chatted a few more words. Yu Hezhong changed the subject: "You said Ning Yi... what is he busy with now? There should be endless meetings every day, right?"
Shishi raised his head, thought for a while, and smiled: "I've been really busy lately, but at this time today, it's hard to say, maybe I'm busy or not..."
"Huh? What kind of riddle is this?"
"It's not a riddle," she said with a smile, "The eldest lady is here, maybe she's shopping with her."
After saying that, he lowered his head and started writing the composition.
Yu Hezhong took a long breath and turned to look out the window. The city in the night was blurred with light and shadow. He recalled the various opinions of the people about the Ning family's eldest lady, especially among the many businessmen he had recently come into contact with.
There are more and more specific descriptions of the terrifying character of one person: "The head of the Su family is a powerful character that most people can't even see..."
Looking back, there were countless worried words in his mouth that he wanted to say, but in the end, his desire to survive stopped him from doing this.
"Then...should I say goodbye first?"
"Go ahead."
Under the light, Shishi shook the tip of her pen and said with a smile. As she smiled, her bangs swayed in the shadow of the lamp and were dyed yellow by the lamplight. She still vaguely looked like the yellow-haired girl in the fan building back then. However, time flew by, and in the
He Zhong knew that they would never be able to go back after all...
…
The flowing lights were reflected in the sky, as if they were intersecting with the stars in the sky. Just when Yu Hezhong walked out of the courtyard where his master lived, and felt uneasy about the arrival of a certain person, a group of people were standing on a wall at the northwest end of the city.
Looking at the night view of the city in the distance from a height.
In the distance, the lights on the rail carriages outside the city are like a long line of ants lining up, which is amazing to the eyes. And in the inner city, countless lights spread, and the buildings on the waterway
The boats, carriages on the road, and the carved beams and painted buildings in the courtyards are all like exquisite models.
Nowadays, Su Tan'er, the eldest lady of the Ning family, who has been regarded as a terrifying existence by people in many rumors, is currently wearing a simple white dress and is standing on the city wall watching all this with wide eyes. She has always been a woman from the Jiangnan water town.
She has an oval-shaped face and a small frame. She is slightly taller than the average Jiangnan woman, but she is more feminine than the northerners. Although she has experienced many things over the years, she appears graceful and calm in front of most people, but when facing Ning Ning
Yi Shi, but still has a relatively lively and outgoing side.
"Already more beautiful than Jiang Ning..."
She stood by the city wall, looking into the distance and sighing.
After the Chinese army captured the Chengdu Plain, this was the second time she came to Chengdu for sightseeing. Compared to the last time, everything had changed dramatically.
Ning Yi handed her a telescope from the side.
"It's already more beautiful than Bianliang! Look over there, the track carriage, I told you about it, haven't you seen it? In the future, the tracks and carriages will be replaced with iron ones, which will scare you countrymen."
Tan'er laughed: "Every time Xi'er goes home, he always tells me about Datong Chengdu. Is there anything strange about it? By the way, the last time he went back, he told me about you stealing his roast chicken.
…”
"Ah... the treacherous son."
"You stole his food and raked it over."
"Okay, let's not talk about the unpleasant things about this traitor." Ning Yi patted her on the shoulder and naturally changed the subject, "I'll show you the feats of another traitor."
"What?"
"Qian Laoba and his gang sent news back to the Fair Party from Jiangning. The brigade moved slowly, but they sent a few reports back first, with some newsprint in between. I read them twice, but I still didn't understand them.

As Ning Yi spoke, he took out a few small folded newspapers from his pocket. Tan'er took them and asked someone to bring the lantern closer and read them under the light.

Tan'er lifted the newsprint and held it up to the light to see if there was any interlayer.
"well……"
Ning Yi looked at her actions and sighed.

"Create...evil...ah..."
Tan'er looked at his expression, frowned and thought for a moment, then looked at the wanted reward, her face changed several times, and finally said: "Another... another traitor... you, you don't mean... Ji'er

"Ah?" Ning Yi was stunned for a moment, then took a breath of cold air and smiled with his cheeks twitching, "You, you... this is a point of view... I will help him promote it after I come back..."
