Chapter 358 [Hope in the Ruins]
Although the temperature is low, people here are still used to opening windows even in winter.
This small restaurant is also the same, the windows are set high, and Fang Chang looks out from the window on the second floor, and he can clearly see the street outside, the sea in the distance, and the sails on the sea. The wind is blowing and the waves are blowing, the sun is blazing, and the water and the sky are the same color.
He wrote the letter just now, and he threw it out of this window. As a result, another paper airplane flew over, passed through the window, and landed on his hand.
"Reply so fast?"
Fang Chang was slightly puzzled. With the deepening and development of the catastrophe, he could no longer sense the current state of the two protagonists. He could only know the current situation from the communication, but the speed of the paper airplane was not fast. He did not expect their reply to be so fast quick.
After drinking the daughter red in Qianqian's wine cup, Fang Chang pushed the wine jar aside, unfolded the paper airplane and laid it flat on the table.
"To Mr. Fang:"
"The letter has been received, sir's feat is of great benefit to the world, and it must be praised by future generations. May the catastrophe end sooner."
"The demon clan has not been able to unite most of the idle monsters in the world, nor has it united with the monster clan in the sea. In addition, the two training halls that Mr. destroyed, they are short of manpower, especially the shortage of well-trained manpower, which has become their main problem. Achilles' heel."
"We will also try here, starting from this weakness, and make some targeted arrangements. In addition, I have also observed monster activities in southern Xinjiang, and the lord has already summoned people to deal with it."
"It's a pity that the catastrophe has already spread to the whole world. People everywhere are devastated, and the situation of the world has changed drastically. The two of us followed the lord, cleansing the dust of the universe, sweeping away the evil, and the momentum has been destroyed. We have already occupied one third of the world. The remaining third Two, half of them are warlords from all walks of life, and half of them are the old imperial court."
"Knowing that Mr. has arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, I hope I can stop by and meet with you."
"Book by Yu Qingling and Liu Yuande."
Fang Chang nodded silently, then folded the piece of paper and put it away, and continued to drag back the wine jar not far away, and filled it into the wine cup.
The remaining shrimps were a little cold, but the eel noodles were still hot, so he poured a few shrimps into the eel noodles bowl, and drank the noodles. Fortunately, the temperature did not affect the deliciousness of the crab fins. Fortunately, he had already drank the three shredded fish soup just now, and that one was even more afraid of the cold.
He called the boy next to him and asked, "What's going on in the world recently?"
The little fellow is very smart. Hearing Fang Chang's question, he said with a smile: "Did you just come back from the sea, sir? The situation in the world has indeed become serious recently. If you stay at sea, you will miss many new rumors."
"Don't look at our support for the peace and tranquility of Hong Kong. We are actually very lucky. The surrounding counties have been ruined by military disasters in the past two years. I often hear merchants lamenting that the surrounding businesses are not doing well when they come here for dinner. I can only go further. I can often see the common people from the surrounding prefectures, dragging their families and bringing their mouths here to find work."
"And then there is the world, heroes from all walks of life are fighting endlessly, there are always new ones appearing, and old ones are often defeated, it is very chaotic. The imperial court has lost most of its country, but it is said..." The young man subconsciously looked around and lowered his voice. The voice said, "...It is said that the imperial court is still fighting endlessly. The few troops below are not even supplied with cotton clothes and food, and they are hungry and full."
Fang Chang asked: "In your opinion, which side can win the world?"
The little boy straightened his body, and said with a little pride: "This matter is also known in the world, and it is the most obvious thing."
"There is a hero named Liu Dan, who started an incident in southern Xinjiang, cared for the people, had boundless benevolence, and was invincible. One-tenth. We support Hong Kong, and we are already under the rule of this great king."
"Speaking of which, Fuyinggang has changed several kings over the years, and it was in chaos before. It wasn't until King Liu Dan took over that the market became peaceful and life became easier. Several prefectures and counties around were destroyed by military disasters. , and there are people to help, it is estimated that it will be back to normal in the spring of next year."
"Everyone with a bit of knowledge praises it. King Liu is a wise king, and he might be the next emperor."
Prophet of the Spring River Plumbing Duck, sometimes, for those battles that seem to be too far away from the ground, the little people use their own personal experience, and they can more clearly feel which side the general trend is on, although it is difficult for them to say clearly like this little guy come out.
Many times, the rise and fall of the world is hidden in the ordinary conversations of old farmers such as "how many bowls of rice have you eaten" and "how is the harvest this year".
Chang Fang settled the account, asked about the approximate location of the front camp, and went straight out of the restaurant, leaving Fuying Port.
………
"Sure enough, it's devastated." Fang Chang sighed.
The several prefectures and towns that passed by were all dilapidated. Fortunately, the temperature here was not too low.
In the spring of next year, as long as the treasured seeds are planted and the wild vegetables all over the mountains and fields are used to last until autumn, they will be able to live normally again. After all, King Liu, who is in charge of this place now, has sent his subordinate Prime Minister Liu to help the disaster. Prime Minister Liu is a good official. He promised to give relief until the autumn harvest and exempt from taxes for three years.
This is what Fang Chang heard in the conversations of the surrounding people when he was on his way.
Although it is dilapidated, there is already hope, so the people with pale faces have more smiles and longing for the future.
What is particularly noticeable is that children and the elderly often get a little more food and are supervised to eat it on the spot.
Moreover, there are young male and female scholars from afar, looking for a place in this disaster area, gathering the children together, and teaching elementary literacy classes. The children were very curious about it, and they came here one after another, and if the adults came to listen, the scholars would not stop them.
It is said that these scholars all came from Mr. Jian's school in Xingqing Prefecture.
They accepted the truth that Mr. Jian had learned, and came here in the name of the rebel army. Some of them reported to Prime Minister Liu to be in charge of the party, and some refused to take up the post. They followed the example of the two gentlemen and set up schools everywhere to teach children to read. In order to be able to practice the principles learned from the teacher.
Seeing the whole leopard at a glance, based on what Fang Chang has seen and heard on this road, this Liu Dan is worthy of being assisted by the two protagonists, and it seems that he is indeed a man of the world.
After all, construction and development have always been more difficult than destruction, much more difficult.
