At a Huai River embankment in Huaizhong City, the person in charge of the construction site was replaced by Young Master Jia of the State of Yan. The servants were busy and had to learn "Chinese characters" every day, which was quite tiring.
In the past, Yan people would argue with others, but now if they encounter a bastard in trouble, they would just say "haha" with an expressionless face and say goodbye.
The Yan people who used to draw swords and kill people at every turn are now quite calm.
Working overtime...very tiring.
Mr. Gongsun, who had just returned from the bathhouse, put his hands in his sleeves. The thick leather jacket was made of extremely solid materials. This was specially given to him by Li Jie. A large piece of the black bear's skin was modified to keep him warm.
He let out a "tsk" and blew his nose. After Mr. Gongsun took a bath, his whole body was still a little soft. He was a veteran swordsman, and he only took a bath for who knows how often in the past. He was away all the time, and the conditions were so bad.
When you arrive in Huaizhong City, no matter how bad it is, there will always be someone supervising the bathing.
Bathing in the North has a great relationship with fuel, climate, and water sources. In fact, those who take baths diligently are only a minority. There is so much water on both sides of the Huai River. The only one who pays attention to hygiene is Li Jie.
There are more than thirty large and small bathhouses in the entire Huaizhong City, both inside and outside the city. The space for boiling water is huge. If coal, firewood, and charcoal were not used as fuel, there would be no way to support such a large amount of hot water baths.
"Master, please."
The hut with rammed earth walls doesn't look like much from the outside, but it's transparent inside and has lights.
Rooms that can light up are, without exception, of a certain class.
Mr. Gongsun took out a plate of candied fruits from the jar. This was also a kind of subsidy rewarded by Li Jie because he was a swordsmanship instructor.
In addition to helping Young Master A, he also had the task of teaching swordsmanship, and actually received a salary from Li Jie.
The master and the servant sat on the kang. The fire kang was not very large, and a little firewood was left in it to keep them warm all night.
Rooms with a heated kang also have different statuses. They are all at a high level, starting with squadron leaders.
I poured some rice wine, a plate of candied fruits, a plate of salted bamboo shoots and broad beans, and just chatted while eating.
Mr. Gongsun's hair was a lot grayer, but he was still in good spirits. He picked up a bean, clinked the wine glass with Young Master A, and then said: "I heard from several 'crocodile men' that plums want to dominate the world."
"..."
Young Master A has also heard Li Jie say this, but it sounds so crazy that he should take it as a joke.
But the "crocodile people" are so honest, they take it seriously.
Therefore, the "crocodile man"'s standards for himself are really different from those of a righteous man and a righteous obedient.
They really want to rule the world one day.
"This...how is this possible?"
"Master, Master, have you forgotten that Li Zi once said: Everything depends on human effort?"
"..."
The speechless Young Master A sighed: "Li Jun said that as long as you do something, it is possible; if you don't do it, it is absolutely impossible. It's just..."
"Why do you care about Li Zi's ambitions? Now that you are staying in Huai River, why don't you think about it? Li Zi once said that if one day he could go north to the Yan Kingdom and wanted to support him to enter Yan, what would he do..."
As he said that, Mr. Gongsun took a sip of rice wine by himself, then filled it up, and clinked the glass with Mr. A, "There has been a lot of commotion in the city these days. The Chen people are still starting construction in the northwest. It seems that they are going to build a small town heating pavilion.
The people of Qin live in the state of Qin. The women in the boudoir are still fighting bravely, but the young master is not as good as the daughter-in-law?"
"Ashamed..."
He lowered his head in shame. Master A drank all the rice wine in his glass. Mr. Gongsun immediately filled it up for him. The master and servant were silent for a while, just eating and drinking.
After a while, Master A obviously regained his energy. When he was focusing on doing things before, he didn't think about the way forward. When he took a short rest, he thought too much.
When I arrived at Mr. Gongsun's place, even though I didn't say a few words, I had a lot of ideas. After thinking about it myself, I finally understood.
If Li Jie's idea of "unifying the world" is an idiot's dream or a delusion, what does it matter? Just think about it. Is it wrong to think about it?
So why shouldn't he, Yan Jia, want to take over the Yan Kingdom one day? Why should he feel uncomfortable and entangled about this?
All kinds of weird emotions came to mind, and they were finally suppressed by Young Master A. He didn't understand it at the moment, but he had a very direct goal.
Just as Mr. Gongsun said, in Li Jie's harem, the princesses of Chen and Qin and other female figures are busy working hard for themselves. As a noble son of a country, he really shouldn't be.
After drinking three glasses of wine, they did not drink any more. The master and servant did not talk nonsense. Mr. Gongsun took the newly issued Wu Gou and sent Young Master A back. He was quite happy on the way.
I have worked hard for a long time, but I still can't convince Young Master A to succeed, but now he has made great progress.
"Huaizhong City..."
The streets at night were quite deserted and lonely. Wherever there were bright lights, there were sentry boxes. When the guards in the sentry boxes saw someone walking, they immediately shouted: "Who is that?!"
When Mr. Gongsun came closer and saw his face clearly under the light, the guards respectfully said: "Master Gongsun?"
"I just sent my young master home. Did you just change your shift?"
"Yes, I must have just passed by him and never saw the coach."
Both sides spoke extremely strangely, completely deviating from their previous language habits.
"It's hard work, hard work."
"The duty lies."
After the two parties said goodbye, Mr. Gongsun smiled and shook his head on the road. If he were still in Yan State, the two guards who were from Huaiyi just now would not be qualified to talk to him.
Mr. Gongsun even thought that in the past, such a low-class person was not worthy of having a direct conversation with him.
Now, it's really strange that I don't have any such thoughts at all.
"Unify the world..." murmuring to himself, Mr. Gongsun thought to himself: It may not be impossible.
…
The construction of the small town northwest of Huaizhong City started very quickly. A large number of Chen people suddenly went south along the Ying River and Pu River. "Peach Blossom Girl", with a big belly, visited several large construction sites in the city in person.
, the engineering teams that had not dispersed were all invited by her.
The money did not come from Huaizhong City, but from "Peach Blossom Fairy"'s own pocket. This made the workers who originally wanted to work hard all winter suddenly became energetic.
"Peach Blossom Fairy" gave me a lot of money, and she also took care of food and accommodation, so it wouldn't be difficult to get by in a winter.
Soon, news spread throughout Huaizhong City. "Peach Blossom Princess" heard that Princess Qin was going south to Suzhou, so she built a warm pavilion in advance so that Princess Qin could rest here.
Being so kind, affectionate and righteous really makes people feel good about him.
The reputation of "Peach Blossom Fairy" in Huaizhong City has risen to a new level.
As for those who knew that the Princess of Qin had actually hooked up with Li Jie, they secretly admired her because she was acting as a landlord to entertain the Princess of Qin as a guest.
There are differences between guest and host, priorities and priorities. Whether the Princess of Qin accepts her or not is actually quite disgusting.
"I never thought that 'Peach Blossom Princess' could have such means."
"Even if the people of Qin know the deep meaning, it's hard to explain it."
In Huaizhong City, people from the Ziche family are already working and living. As the rumors say, when faced with the "enthusiasm" of "Peach Blossom Fairy", the old Qin people really can't say much and can only stare...
