Chapter 719: The Gift of a Foreigner

Fang Xie picked up Sang Sasa and put it away, and pulled the brocade quilt from the side to cover her gently. His movements were extremely gentle, as if he was carefully caring for a peerless treasure. Fang Jie's palm rubbed a few times on Sang Sasa's cheek, and smiled apologetically at her.

All kinds of embarrassing things that she experienced before, for a girl like her, there will always be an unforgettable memory that she will never forget in this life, at this time she shrunk in the quilt, covering most of her face and only revealing a pair of eyes, and a pair of beautiful hands pulling the corners of the quilt, as if she was afraid that Fang Xie would lift the quilt again.

This kind of cute gesture made Fang Xie can't help but look a little stupid.

The breath exhaled from the small nose is so sweet, like the refreshing aroma of orchids.

This birthday may be the most memorable birthday in her life.

Fang Xie handed her a glass of water, Sang Sasa slowly shook her head, hiding in the quilt, but looked at Fang Jie's face without blinking. Fang Xie lay down next to her, smelling the fragrance of her hair.

"What is the ending of that story?"

Sang Sassa got into Fang Jie's arms like a well-behaved kitten, and rested his head on Fang Jie's chest.

"Whatever......

Fang Xie tapped Sang Sa's cute nose with his finger: "That's someone else's story, we have our story." ”

"Hmm"

Sang Sassa nodded vigorously and got into Fang Jie's arms.

At this time, she is not a great teacher of Meng Yuan, she is not the inheritor of the Sang family's bloodline, she is not a natural body, she is just a girl who has found the direction of her happiness.

"Sometimes I wonder if I can never go back when I came out of the house. I don't really know if I was really disappointed and walked away at that time, or because I was really full of guilt. Every time I think back to the look on their faces when they left home, I feel as if I had left a wound in their hearts. ”

She spoke softly, with a distinctive, slightly hoarse voice. She just spoke like this, but for Fang Jie, it was heavenly.

"If you want to go back, I'll accompany you in the future."

Fang explained.

Sang Sasa shook his head slightly: "I don't know what kind of way I should go back, is it guilt or something else." Then I thought, maybe I just want to get out of that place and walk out of the world. Our people have not left their homeland for a long time because of what happened many, many years ago. Maybe it's because they were hurt so badly before that they all have a fear in their hearts that they don't want to say it. ”

Sang Sasa looked at Fang Jie, and the meaning in his eyes was distressing.

"We use the excuse of guarding this smell to numb ourselves and deceive ourselves. Tell every child who is just getting sensible not to leave at will, because the outside world is full of unknown dangers. In this description, every danger can easily lead to death, and they have no room for resistance. So every child has been instilled with such a mindset from childhood to adulthood...... The safest and most secure place is at home, and there is no place to trust but the home. ”

Sang Sasa said: "I know that such indoctrination is not necessarily wrong, because they are for the purpose of protection. The belief back then led to the believers to start killing so easily, so this belief will not be easy to give. Everyone in the family cherishes every day of life, living in memories and vigilance of the past. Although life seems to be very comfortable and comfortable, I always have a feeling...... Everybody there is hard. ”

Fang Xie can understand Sang Sasa's feelings.

At the beginning, because Sang Chao trusted his subordinates too much and never guarded against his subordinates, everything seemed so unguarded when the rebellion occurred. But we can't deny the chaotic personality because of this, because being able to give selfless trust to others is actually a height that few people can reach.

It's just that there has never been a simple human heart in this world.

"Then when you want to go back."

Fang explained.

There was some sadness in Sang Sasa's eyes, and she hugged Fang Xie tightly, as if she wanted to find warmth in Fang Jie's body. When she left home at such a young age and began to walk the world, Fang Xie could not imagine how much fear she had in her heart at the beginning. Although Fang Xie had almost the same experience, he faced a greater danger. But Fang Xie always had people around him that he could trust, such as Mu Xiaoxiao, Shen Tilting Fan, Big Dog, and Qilin.

A little girl, left home alone.

What kind of upheaval was it in those years?

Fang Xie didn't dare to think about it, and the more he thought about it, the more heartache he became, the more scared he became.

So he also hugged Sang Sassa tightly and gave her warmth.

"Before, I always allowed myself to feel the temperature of the cold wind. Then I can deceive myself that my cold is not because my heart is cold, but because the weather is too cold. Although I can't fool myself every time, I do such a ridiculous thing over and over again, and even I find it a little incredible. ”

She said.

"There will be no cold wind in the future."

Fang Xie said slowly but in an extremely firm tone: "Never." ”

……

Halfway through the procession, the team encountered a rain, which was not heavy, but fine, and long-lasting, so the team stopped in an abandoned town. The town is fairly well preserved, although a small number of houses were still burned down in the rebellion, but perhaps because the people in the town had fled before the people came, the people did not stay long.

The guards placed around the town by the people of the Riding School to relieve them of resting in a very spacious house. On the fifth day out of Yongzhou, the rain seemed to be a little annoying. But for the people, this rain is just like a birthday present. Many refugees have already returned, and some of the people who have been forcibly relocated from the other three ways have also arrived, and it is the time to open up the wasteland, sow the seeds, and then come to this good rain, this year must be a bumper harvest year.

The rain fell from the eaves and continued in a straight line.

Several women gathered together and chattered, among which three women were relatively quiet, and the fans were as cold as ever, and Mo Ning, who didn't know why she had to come with the army, stood under the eaves and looked at the gray sky outside. And Sang Sasa, sitting on the side with her head down, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth that only she understood.

"The Great General......

Chen Xiaoru, who came back from exploring the road in front, took off his hat and took off his coat: "Thirty miles ahead is Qingshan County, and the officials of the county town were going to come to greet them, but I stopped them. The county order was an official appointed by the general a while ago, called Wei Xiting, who turned out to be a scribe under Sun Kaidao. Because Qingshan County is hundreds of miles away from Yongzhou, the number of refugees returning is not large, but there are some people who already live in Pingshangdao who are clearing the wasteland. ”

"Suren?"

Fang Xie frowned slightly.

"Hmm!"

Chen Xiaoru nodded: "There are many people who did not return to the jungle after the fall of the Shang Kingdom, but stayed to farm with the locals, they have almost lost the brutality of the people, and they were also killed a lot in the rebellion of the people. A while ago, the general ordered that the people be allowed to rent farmland, and they also went to the government to report. Wei Xiting did not stop it, but after taking people to inspect their identities, they all distributed the land to them according to the rules formulated by the general. ”

Fang Xie nodded and did not speak.

"The subordinates asked him to take off his official hat and wait for the general to arrive in the county office."

Chen Xiaoru said in a low voice.

Fang Xie glanced at Chen Xiaoru, and then smiled: "If it weren't for your words, I would have taken off your official hat first." ”

Chen Xiaoru said with a smile: "Where do your subordinates dare, this Wei Xiting has done nothing wrong, the Su people are willing to stay, of course, it is not that they can't distribute the land, but his fault is that this matter should not be hidden." Conceal it, and all good things are done wrong. ”

"That's why I'll hand over the Riding School to you."

Fang Xie praised: "You are very thoughtful and understand the rules." ”

Chen Xiaoru lowered his voice and said, "General, do you want to give your subordinates a higher salary?" ”

Fang Xie glanced at him, and Chen Xiaoru hurriedly smiled and stepped back: "This rain is estimated to be unable to stop today, so my subordinates will go back to Qingshan County to prepare first." ”

"Go ahead, tell Wei Xiting, let him think about what he was wrong with, and write a submission when he thinks of it, if he can't think of it, he doesn't have to wait for me to go to Qingshan County, let him go home and farm by himself."

Chen Xiaoru answered, turned and left.

When Chen Xiaoru left, Fang Xie couldn't help but wonder, was he too harsh on weekdays, so that these magistrates didn't dare to report it truthfully even though they had done the right thing? Fang Xie pondered for a while, and suddenly thought of something. In order to ensure the absolute obedience of the Ping Shang Dao, Fang Xie has been using absolute power and toughness to suppress the place for a long time. Now, shouldn't we let go of some rights, otherwise the local officials will tremble one by one, and it will not be good for the development of the Black Flag Army.

In fact, Fang Xie understands that the most difficult to manage in this world is not the people, but these officials who manage the people. If the management is too strict, these officials will be timid and do nothing. If you put it too loosely, you will do whatever you want. It is easy to raise the people, but it is difficult to raise officials. He couldn't help but think of Sun Kaidao again, this person is talented and insightful, but it is not because of the bad habits that have existed from beginning to end that he always thinks that when he is an official, he should accumulate wealth for himself, and he will be stable in the future.

How many officials are eager to take back all their previous efforts after taking office. It's still time to fight the country, and the people below are still in order. If it is in the future, I am afraid that those dirty things in the officialdom will emerge in endlessly.

Should officials be poor or rich?

Dali City

The Weiran Hall of the Southern Yan Imperial Palace

Emperor Murong of Southern Yan looked curiously at the few blonde and blue-eyed foreigners standing below, and said in his heart that these people were called devils by the merchants of Eastern Chu, and they were really ugly. Look at the strange-shaped clothes on their bodies, look at the strange-shaped weapons hanging from their waists, and look at their unsightly appearances...... Murong Yan couldn't help but wonder, these foreigners introduced by the Emperor of Eastern Chu really have such great ability?

"Your Majesty the Emperor."

One of the foreigners below was led by one arm on his chest and leaned over slightly: "My name is Pokov, and I am from the powerful Rus' principality. We are here at the invitation of our good friend, the Emperor of Chu, to help you. We have heard that your empire is now in crisis, and perhaps, our arrival can resolve it all for you. ”

"How do you know you can help me?"

Murong asked.

"Your Majesty, please come and show me something."

Pokov pointed to the outside of the temple: "We have brought you a gift that will surely make you happy." The last thing that the people of the Rus Principality are afraid of is that there are many enemies, because the more enemies there are, the more we get. I believe that with our help, the Yan Kingdom will also make all enemies submit to the Rus, just like the Principality of Rus. ”

The civil and military officials in the hall were all sneering, looking at these foreigners like clowns.
