"Ah, thanks—"
In the backyard of the 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, wearing goggles, raised his head and asked plainly, "What's wrong?"
"nothing."
Li Ang shook his head, suppressed his doubts, took the coat from Chai Chai, and put it on.
Most of the students who were in the academy had already gone to work in various places. Li Ang and He Fanshuang, who were still in Chang'an, wanted to do their best to do something for the country of Yu.
For example, improve the talisman board of the next generation of Reiki machines, improve efficiency and save manufacturing costs.
Originally, this project should have cooperated with Dr. Su Feng, but for some reason, the latter stayed in the original study of the head of the mountain and rarely went out to meet people. Li Ang and the others went to visit several times, but they were all rejected.
"How about cutting this area thinner?"
"Do you want to increase the aura flux? Well, then it must be thickened here."
The two discussed the configuration of the rune board, and the tacit understanding brought about by years of getting along has greatly improved the efficiency.
Unknowingly, the setting sun has set in the west, and the carving progress of the talisman board has also reached three quarters. In two more days, a preliminary plan can be formed, and the next step is to improve step by step until the finished product is released.
"It's time to eat."
Chai Chai's call sounded 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 vine shelf beside him, "My brother and sister-in-law are back today and will eat at home."
Last year, He Siping made a marriage contract with his lover who had been with him for many years and was also a classmate of the academy. It was originally decided to get married in June this year, but because of the flood in Xingzhou, it had to be postponed.
However, this did not affect He Siping's official marriage, and moved to the new house in Changlefang to live first.
Since this is the case, Li Ang didn't want to keep him anymore, and walked out of the courtyard looking at He Fanshuang's back.
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 cave with complete sound insulation, the roar is deafening.
Hundreds of tentacles made of moss are forming some kind of huge structure.
not enough.
Even after Mosi is completely released, he can be compared to a martial arts master, but it is still not enough to deal with the turbulent waves in the next few years.
need more power
———
Shengping Square.
"I'm back."
He Fanshuang pushed open the door of the house. His parents, his elder brother He Siping, who had been busy with work and hadn’t returned home for a long time, and his sister-in-law Ying Banqing, who was about to leave the house, were already waiting at the dinner table with rich dishes.
"Go to Jinchengfang again?"
He Siping laughed and said, "Let's eat."
"The school's business." He Fanshuang explained seriously, and then sat down next to Ying Banqing.
Ying Banqing was born in a school, one year younger than He Siping, lively and cheerful, good at talking, currently working in the palace, responsible for protecting the preschool princes and daughters.
At the dinner table, the family chatted while eating, and talked about official business while talking.
“.Those Haotian believers are really annoying, because of them, the city gates are now inconvenient to enter and exit.”
During this time, followers of Haotian continued to rush to Chang'an from all over the country of Yu. These people gathered in groups, neither confronting the government nor harassing others, they just went to worship the Haotian Temple in Chang'an City, and prayed for the Haotian Headmaster thousands of miles away.
During the daytime, one step at a time, blocking the road,
In the evening, they go away separately, or stay at relatives and friends' homes, or go to restaurants and inns for accommodation.
The imperial court was rather hesitant about this, because Yu State did not prohibit the belief in Haotian, and there was no law prohibiting people from pilgrimage.
"In Shentu's words, these fanatical followers of Haotian are like sluggish thin wolves in the wilderness. Courage and quantity are related."
Ying Banqing waved his chopsticks and said: "One horse and two horses are nothing to be afraid of, even if you are traveling alone, you can easily chase them away with a wooden stick.
But if they gather together, nine horses and ten horses, they dare to choose someone and eat them.
If the scale is hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands, even a strong army will dare to charge head-on.
Don't look at them being docile now, when they exceed a certain number, I don't know what they will do. "
"Then what should we do? Is there no way to control them?"
Mother He asked quickly. Her sons and daughters have all been educated by the academy, and her son and daughter-in-law also serve in the imperial court. Of course, she must support Yu Guo unconditionally.
"There is a method, and it is already being done."
Ying Banqing said: "I heard from my classmate that the imperial court plans to raise the price of accommodation, meals, and drinks in Chang'an Inn first. Haotian is fake, but hungry is real. Believers who have no money will naturally leave.
Then find out the leaders of the group and pinpoint their weaknesses. "
"Weakness?" Father He asked curiously.
“There will always be someone they value.”
Ying Banqing put down the clean bowls and chopsticks, and said casually: "For example, there is news that the parents at home are sick, brothers and sisters have been beaten, and children are missing. Even if the news is true or false, it must be Go back and take a look to feel at ease, right?
In this way, another group of people were screened out. And when they want to come to Chang'an again, they just have to get their tickets and certificates. Just don't let them come over.
Without the support of his subordinates, the die-hard believers who remained in Chang'an City could not make much trouble. "
Ying Banqing talked about the way inside with a relaxed face, but his tone made no secret of his disgust for these Haotian fanatics.
As a student of a school palace, 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 state of Zhou, which retains slavery, regards people as commodities, which can be bought and sold in the market at will.
Turkic serfs have been used as cattle and horses by the lords for generations, and they are worse than livestock.
The people of Jing State are ignorant and numb, and they regard Haotian as the only way of liberation. Farmers are even willing to burn their grain to worship Haotian.
Take the whole family to endure hunger.
These are all kingdoms that believe in Haotian,
Ying Banqing couldn't understand how people living in Yu country would want their country to become like this.
It’s okay to say that these fanatics are rich and powerful, after all, they can’t be hungry, but according to observations these days, the most fanatical group of people are mostly civilians.
"Okay, okay, it's rare to go home, let's not talk about these unhappy things."
He Siping stood up with a smile, picked up the bowls and chopsticks on the table, and took them to the sink to wash the dishes.
Zheng—
The palace badge on the waist made a crisp sound, He Siping lifted the bowl and chopsticks with his thoughts, and picked up the badge to look 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: "A document to discuss Yu Yu has been released."
