The tea room was half shadow and half light. Fan Zhongxuan sat on the side of the shadow and had become one with the shadow."

Why are you helping Su Zisi like this?" The current Shizhong, who has been in high positions for a long time, has not much condescending pride in the face of past political enemies who have been a civilian.

Fan Zhongxuan said: "We who have lived in the temple for a long time naturally will not favor people because of their temporary enthusiasm. Therefore, although Su Zisi's style is enough to charm the world, it is not enough to influence my choice. I just think that this world is no longer suitable for the old style of the past."

Master Shizhong said calmly: "You tried the new policy, intending to demarcate prefectures and counties and reorganize household registration. What is the result? The world has always been like this, how could it be changed because of you alone?"

Fan Zhongxuan smiled slightly and said, "It may not be true that this has always been like this, let alone how the world has always been like this. If it has always been like this, I should always lower my head and speak to aristocratic families like you, rather than looking at them right now."

The Master Shizhong said, "Because you are noble, and most people are born lowly."

He paused and added: "Nobility not only lies in his origin, but also in his soul, so people are born with wise and foolish."

Zhong Xuan said leisurely: "In fact, there are no real wise and foolish people. The reason why wise people are wise is because they are doing what they are good at. Su Zisi said very well, 'I am born with talent and will be useful'."

The zhongda master said: "You have your reasons, I have my choices, and I will not owe you in the future."

The Shizhong left with clear and mysterious steps, and his shadows seemed lofty and outspoken. Fan Zhongxuan was quiet in the shadows, indistinguishable from the earth under his feet. He was both dust and all living beings.

...

Su Ji had never been to Baidi City before. He always thought that this was the beginning of the Three Gorges, and it should be the towering mountains and rivers and valleys, which were similar to Zigui's landforms, and even more sinister.

But he was wrong.

It is a paradise opened up in the mountains and valleys.

Baidi City has the wealth of the Jiangnan water town, but there are not as many hills as the south of the Yangtze River. At first glance, they are all plains with good eyesight. You can see the peaks at the end, which are the gateway to guard this peach garden.

Fang is not suitable for raising horses, but Baidi City has a large pasture. Su Ji glanced at it quickly and had no doubt that tens of thousands of cavalry could be formed here in a short time.

On the grasslands of northern Mobei, tens of thousands of cavalry may not be anything, but in the south, such a number of cavalry is difficult to cultivate in a short period of time.

What's more, there are also navy soldiers in Baidi City that can block the river.

Wu Yong, the young master of Baidi City, said: "No wonder Gongsun Wudi had the confidence to fight for dominance in the world."

Wu Yong said: "However, Baidi City now only wants to protect itself."

He pointed to the people who were working on the fields and said, "They lived happily when they were sunrise and sunset. And we did not exploit them like other aristocratic families, but just wanted to protect this peace and prosperity."

Su Ji said: "You will not exploit their wealth, but you will gain more."

Wu Yong smiled indifferently. Su

Ji means that once a war occurs, these people will not hesitate to die for Baidi City.

There is a derogatory or positive meaning.

For the sake of efforts and rewards, they should be equal.

What most people in the world want in their lifetime is nothing more than these.

But what should have been like this is not always like this in this world.

Next they got on a black carriage. The people in Baidi City advocated white, and black, as the opposite side of white, has always been the only one for the city lord's mansion.

When the pedestrians on the side saw the black carriage, they took the initiative to give in and showed a respectful look.

I have seen many children from aristocratic families traveling in their fields, flying eagles and domineering, and pedestrians avoiding them out of fear, not respect.

Let him look at Baidi City even more differently.

Knowing that this situation takes time to accumulate.

Once it collapses, it may only take one day or a few small things. Because if a person who has done good things for his whole life does something bad, no one can see the good things in the past.

It’s not because people’s hearts are so vicious, but because it’s too difficult and too difficult to do good things for the rest of their lives!

People may not hate good people who have done something bad, but they hate that they cannot be so outstanding.

Under the dome, shouldn’t all beings be equal?

When Su Ji thought to himself, he said, "Baidicheng did this not because of morality, but because of strict constraints. We would work very young."

He paused and said, "It was real labor. At that time, our martial arts skills were insignificant and our bodies would not exceed that of ordinary people. Only then could we understand the hard work of them and empathize with each other."

Su Ji said: "Who formulated these regulations?"

Wu Yong smiled and said, "Of course he is the first city lord of Baidi City."

Su Ji said: "My master Tianyangzi once evaluated famous generals from ancient times to the present, saying that those who are good at fighting have no great achievements. The first recommendation is this first Grand Marshal after the founding of the country. I saw that his military strategy was not as outstanding as his predecessors, and his military power was not the best in the world, so I wondered something. Now I understand it."

When the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty, there were not many heroes and veterans who were able to start and end well, but this Grand Sima of Wu and Han will live forever.

Wu Yong continued: "Now I think Su Xian, you must be curious about why our people in Baidi City still seek the interests of Mingyue Villa." Su

Ji said: "Somewhat strange." Wu

He said: "Because Mingyue Villa is not Baidi City, we are only kind to our own people, not to everyone."

Su Ji was relieved. He understood that the people in Baidi City lived like paradise, not because they were not fierce, but because they understood where to use ruthlessness.

Just as some men can scold him at home, whether they are wives or parents, but outside, he is a man and a lion, and no one can humiliate him.

This is how Confucianism calls sages inside and kings outside.

The car slowly drove into the city, full of bluestone streets, clean, tidy and orderly.

There are all kinds of teahouses and various shops, and of course Su Ji has also seen many products produced by Mingyue Villa.

Wu Yong said: "The products at Mingyue Villa are very popular, both light and convenient, and are affordable but not expensive. It is admirable for the noble village to be so good at managing." Su

Ji said: "But Mingyue Villa still has many places to learn from Baidi City."

If he still doesn't understand Baidicheng's intention to form an alliance with him, he is a fool. Wu Yong is not Wu Yong, nor Wu Wei. He is the qualified young master of Baidicheng.

Very good negotiator.

At that time, Su Ji could not even find any reason to refuse the show of goodwill in Baidi City.

But why choose him?

Baidi City is not a power of the Taoist sect. And

Su Ji had a lot of right and wrong.

Even if it is for Taoist Qingshan, Taoist Qingshan is Taoist Qingshan, and Baidi City is Baidi City. If the public and private are not clear, Baidi City will never have the achievements it has today. Wu

Yong said: "Each way of heaven has its own strengths and weaknesses, and each one needs them. Su Xian must still have some doubts about us, which should be true, but Wu Yong feels that as time goes by, this kind of doubt will disappear in the future."

Su Ji did not express his doubts, but Wu Yong took the initiative to explain.

Su Ji said: "After seeing and hearing all the way, I want to see Lord Li even more now."

Wu Yong smiled and said, "My father may actually be different from what Su Xian imagined." Su

Ji said, "You don't have to call me Su Xian anymore. You can call me Zisi, Su Ji or a more close name." Wu

He said: "Elder and younger generation are orderly. If I interact with Su Xian, it will be bad." Su

Ji smiled and said, "Each person discusses his own." Wu

Yong Saran said, "Okay, I'll call you Brother Su."

After a while, someone came to welcome Wu Yong and Su Ji.

"Mrs. I was very happy when I heard that the young city lord and Marquis Su were coming. Please come inside and talk." The man said. Wu.

He smiled and said, "Speaking of this, Jiaci likes Brother Su's poems very much."

Su Ji was not surprised that he had seen many such things.

Soon he was surprised.

When he arrived at the inner courtyard of the city lord's mansion, a lady with a charming charm was standing on the steps, and Su Ji looked familiar.

The noble lady smiled and said, "Brother Su, I haven't seen each other for many years." Su

Ji Man was stunned and connected the noble lady in front of him with the little Taoist nun brought by the Taoist Taoist in Huangshan on Luofu Mountain many years ago.
