Rows of simple work sheds were actually built along both sides of the road. Most of the work sheds were dark, with snoring heard from time to time, and only a few of them still had lights on.
Even the largest office shed had very dark light. There was only an oil lamp on the table. After closing the official documents, Su Ziji squinted and yawned, and heard someone say: "Mr. Su, it's late at night, you can't
You’re too tired, why don’t you take a rest?”
"It turns out it's you, Gao Mo!" Su Ziji turned around and saw that it was Gao Mo, one of the three clerks who had been beaten during the day. Although his legs were a little crooked, he still came over with hot water and towels, and his heart moved: "Towels"
Give it to me, no need to wash your feet, you are also an official."
Gao Mo responded, waiting for Su Ziji to wipe his face, wash his feet, sit on the couch, and said: "Sir, I have already found the manuscripts you want for the palace."
"They are all articles written by former Jinshi scholars."
Su Ziji took it, took out the catalog, took a look at it, and said slowly: "You were beaten today, do you have any resentment in your heart?"
Gao Mo smiled and said: "Sir, how can one avoid being beaten in the officialdom? Not to mention us lowly officials, even serious officials, who has not been demoted or punished?"
"It's normal for you to get punished if you don't do your errand well. How can you feel resentful?"
Su Ziji nodded. Regardless of whether his words were true or false, this man had a very upright attitude. He held three documents in his hand and read them under the candle. After a long time, he said: "The storm is coming, and the water conservancy is almost finished. The supervision is
That’s right, but it’s wrong to cause trouble.”
"I know you are also in a difficult situation. You want the horse to run fast and not eat grass. But if there are more than 7,000 people, it will be a big deal. Not to mention you and me, even the governor will be relegated and demoted. There is no way to help it.
No punishment.”
"Sir, I understand that if I meet another official, I'm afraid the punishment will be more severe. You are already protecting us and taking on some responsibilities."
"It's late at night. You can rest. I'll sleep not far away. If you need anything, just say hello." After that, he left.
Su Ziji watched this man retreat and let out a long breath: "There are heroes among the people, but it's a pity that no matter how talented they are, it's useless."
Although the Zheng Dynasty did not completely stop promoting officials, as long as they are officials, they can only be in the lower ranks. Even if they have extraordinary abilities, they will only be in the eighth or ninth rank, and they cannot even be a county magistrate.
After sighing, but not falling asleep, he took out three more books and just took a picture.
"You learn from "The Biography of King Zhuang", "Li Wen Zhi", and "New Songs of Spring Terrace"."
"[The Way of Government] 550, level 6 (18/5000)."
"[Four Books and Five Classics] 600, level 18 (17930/18000)"
"The Way of Government has been promoted to level 6. The Four Books and Five Classics are actually of little use now, and even the articles written by the three Jinshi scholars do not have much experience. I only added 600, and each book only gives 200 experience. It can be seen that my external demands are already minimal.
It all depends on persisting in reading every day.”
"Since my intelligence is as high as 19, it takes me 3-4 experience points to read a chapter. It all depends on my daily compulsive experience. Now I am only short of 70 points. It's just a matter of reading it aloud 20 times."
"Read to upgrade."
Thinking like this, he read aloud in a low voice: "If you attack the enemy and attack the enemy, it will not be far away. If you hold the enemy to attack the enemy, and look at it, it will still be far away. Therefore, a gentleman governs others by changing them. Loyalty and forgiveness are not far away.
.If you don’t want to do it to yourself, don’t do it to others either.”
After reading a chapter, [Experience 4] floated.
“Good luck!”
After waiting for half an hour to read, Su Ziji suddenly fell silent and looked at the prompt: "[Four Books and Five Classics] has been upgraded to level 19 (37/19000), the way of sincerity 1!"
"The Way of Sincerity 1?" Su Ziji thought about it carefully, and it didn't seem to have changed much. He blew out the lamp and lay down on the couch, seeming to have fallen asleep.
At night, the river wind blew, and the river waves stirred up water on the embankment, but then receded helplessly. It seemed that everything was lost in a dream.
I saw thick clouds like ink, surging and rolling, and ripples appeared in the void. It seemed like just a moment, and it seemed like a long time passed. Su Ziji was a little confused: "Did I forget something?"
He didn't want to fall asleep, so he mustered up his energy, turned his attention away, and looked out the window: "It's going to rain and thunder, this thunder..."
There was a "boom", and suddenly, a bolt of lightning fell. In the lightning, a familiar young dragon suddenly fell down and fell heavily to the ground.
"Ah!" Su Ziji sat up immediately, opened his eyes, sat up silently, and looked around.
"It's not raining, there's no thunder... no, it's a little drizzle." Su Ziji turned sideways and saw the familiar office shed: "Was this a dream just now?"
Although it was a dream, Su Ziji couldn't sleep anymore. After thinking for a while, he got off his bed and walked around the camp. There was a sound in the distance, and there was a night watchman holding a lamp. He didn't want to disturb it, so he moved to a slightly remote shantytown.
, only after taking a few steps, his color suddenly changed, and his eyes suddenly turned cold.
"There really are monsters who worship me here."
Perhaps it was the Panlong mentality, or the literary mind and the carved dragon. Su Ziji was very sensitive to evil spirits and mental fluctuations. He approached with a sullen face and saw that it was the work shed where the officials lived.
A monster like a civet cat was lying on the roof of the shed, with traces of black air seeping down.
"This is the work shed of the beaten clerk. These monsters can really choose their partners." Su Ziji immediately woke up. At this time, the civet cat seemed to be aware of it, and looked back, and happened to meet Su Ziji's eyes.
"Meow..." The civet cat was frightened, turned around and was about to run away, then jumped up, Su Ziji just a little bit, and said: "Boom"
"Boom" thunder exploded, deafening the surroundings. Everything went dark. In the blink of an eye, a civet cat half-kneeling on the ground appeared. It was stunned to realize that it had fallen in the sky. Where it fell, a large building with a large area could be faintly seen.
Big palace.
There are squares, palaces, and stairs, but if you look carefully, many of them are dilapidated.
It froze immediately, and a gust of wind blew with spiritual energy. It shuddered, and then realized something was wrong: "Where is this, why am I here?"
"No, this is the Dragon Palace..."
The instinct imprinted in the monster's blood immediately made it know where this place was. It didn't have time to be happy or surprised, and looked straight at one person: "It's you!"
The civet cat recognized the man who appeared in the Dragon Palace. It never expected that it would meet the acting prime minister of Shun'an Mansion under such circumstances. Isn't this man an ordinary person?
Just as he was shocked, a white light flashed past, and with a "ouch", his mouth opened wide and he swallowed the monster in one gulp.
"Meow..." The poor cat demon only let out a half scream before disappearing.
"It's such a small amount, only one, huh?" The white light fell to the ground and turned into a dragon, Luo Li. She was a little dissatisfied. This time the ration was a bit small, and it was gone after just one bite.
"Hey, it tastes very good." The young dragon seemed to take a long time to taste it, and after a long time, he respectfully but cheerfully called Su Ziji: "Teacher!"
Then he looked at him as if he was waiting to be fed.
"..."
"Let me ask you, do you know what's going on with the recent rampant activities of monsters?" Su Ziji was speechless, touched the young dragon's head, and asked directly.
Now is not the time for small talk, the matter has not been clarified or resolved yet!
