Chapter 375: Helping You "Help"
Following.
Wang Li was worried about the matter of Pure Lotus, and found Wang Zhongchen again.
"You said that Jinglian, do you really want to see us?"
Looking at Wang Zhongzhong, Wang Li raised his worries, for Na Jinglian, he always felt that this person could not be trusted.
Wang Zhongchen closed his head and replied: "This is natural. "Regarding the previous incident of the Rotten Ke Temple, he naturally did not tell Wang Li, so as not to reveal his identity.
"In that case, have you ever asked him why he never entered the government and accepted our control?" Wang Li asked again: "After all, his strength is not bad, if he just messes around outside the city like this, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of trouble, isn't it?"
"Alas. Isn't it because of the past? Na Jinglian once told me that the reason why he rejected the government was because he had been oppressed by the government before, so he was forced to leave and come to this great master's mansion. And although you are thinking about the people, because of what happened before, he thinks that you are like the corrupt official, so he will be rejected. Wang Zhongchen shook his head, explained helplessly, and recompiled what happened last night, and told Wang Li vividly.
After Wang Li heard this, he calmed down a little and replied, "So that's the case?"
Wang Li did not have any doubts about Wang Zhongchen, after all, they had also grown up since childhood, and they also trusted each other quite a lot, and they never thought that Wang Zhongchen would also lie.
Wang Zhongchen closed his head and replied: "That's nature. And I saw him last night and told him about you, so that I might dispel the blockade in your hearts. If you visit now, he won't refuse. ”
"If that's the case, that's for the best. Wang Li clapped his hands and laughed.
He immediately bid farewell to Wang Zhongchen, intending to report the matter to Guo Shoujing, so that he could summon Na Jinglian into the official palace, so that the magic she possessed could be more effective.
Seeing Wang Li so excited, the corners of Wang Zhongchen's mouth were slightly upturned, and he thought to himself: "If you let that Jinglian mix into the official mansion, you must be able to get more news." At that time, every move of the Yuan army will be under our control. As long as they provoke it, they can naturally sabotage their plans, so why make a big move?" Thinking of this, he was even more proud, raised his teacup and took a sip, only to feel extremely comfortable all over his body.
............
The Daimyo's Mansion.
Guo Shoujing looked at Wang Li with a surprised expression and asked, "You said that Jinglian, is she really willing to help us?"
After seeing Jinglian show his skills before, Guo Shoujing was thinking about this person, so he repeatedly sent people to invite Jinglian, hoping to invite this person into the official mansion and serve the Yuan army, but unfortunately these actions made Jinglian lively, and directly chose to leave the Daimyo's Mansion and live in the Rotten Ke Temple instead, so as to avoid the people of the official mansion.
In the face of Jinglian's refusal, Guo Shoujing felt distressed, but he could only accept it.
"That's right. It took a lot of energy to convince him. Wang Li replied.
Guo Shoujing's eyebrows furrowed, and he read: "Wang Zhongchen?"
"That's right. It was Wang Zhongchen. It was also a loss that his tongue bloomed with lotus flowers, so he persuaded Jinglian. Wang Li said with a smile.
If there is a pure lotus, then they can reduce the losses of the people under their command a lot, so that they will not be like before, once they are injured, they can only wait quietly to die.
Guo Shoujing hurriedly said: "If that's the case, then let him in quickly?"
"This ......"
Wang Li was stunned, his face was full of embarrassment, and seeing Guo Shoujing's view, he replied: "Qi Guo Governor's Mansion, although that guy was said to be moved, he said that he needed me to go over in person before he was willing to go out of the mountain." Otherwise, even if he was always entrenched in the countryside, he would definitely not accept it. ”
"That's just as well. In ancient times, Liu Bei looked at the thatched house, and since he had such talent, he should also go in person. Guo Shoujing replied with his head closed, and had no opinion on this matter, and then stood up from the desk, took off the hanging clothes, and planned to change into a formal set of clothes, and went to pay homage to Jinglian.
Wang Li also bowed down and said, "Since Lord Guo has a heart, then I will go down and order the servants to prepare the carriage." ”
He immediately walked down, and after a while, he came to the mansion with a carriage, and waited until Guo Shoujing entered it before urging the war horse to walk in the direction of the Rotten Ke Temple outside the city.
After inquiring, they learned that Guo Shoujing had gone to find the Jinglian monk who had recently become famous, and they also applauded, thinking that if Guo Shoujing and Jinglian joined forces, they would definitely be able to change a peaceful and harmonious environment in the Daimyo Mansion, instead of being the same as usual, corrupt officials were arbitrary, petty officials were rampant, and there were even exists such as bandits and Song Jun, which caused the entire Daimyo Mansion to be in flames.
They have long had enough of this turbulent environment and desperately need a savior to restore peace to all.
After leaving the palace, Guo Shoujing and Wang Li also came all the way to the Langke Temple, compared with Wang Zhongchen who came before, more people came here, and they were obviously waiting for the healing of Jinglian.
After the spread of those who had been cured before, these people naturally knew the means of purifying lotus, and rushed here impatiently, hoping to be cured, instead of suffering from diseases as before.
"Governor Guo, do you need me to take action and drive them away?" asked Wang Li.
Guo Shoujing waved his hand and replied, "No need. These people are also suffering, if they are not desperate, how can they come back here, or should not disturb them, so that they can also recover their health. After all, we still have a long way to go, so we can still wait for such a little time. ”
In this way, the two waited outside the temple for three hours, and when it was dark, the people here left.
At this time, Guo Shoujing had just stepped into it, Jinglian raised her eyes, and her eyebrows immediately wrinkled: "It turned out to be Governor Guo, but it's a pity that it is an idle cloud and wild crane below, but I can't stand Governor Guo's love." ”
"Master Jinglian is polite. ”
Guo Shoujing replied embarrassedly: "Before, I had no eyes and no beads, and I didn't know the master's methods, so I collided with the master, but I made the master suffer. If the master does not give up, I wonder if he is willing to accept my invitation to help more people?"
"Huh. According to what you mean, if I wasn't here, I wouldn't be able to save the people?" Jinglian replied angrily.
"This ...... This...... Of course not. ”
Guo Shoujing looked slightly stunned, and glared at Wang Li sideways, he thought that Wang Zhongchen had persuaded Jinglian before, but he didn't expect that he came here, but he was rejected, this feeling is really sad.
Wang Li was also embarrassed, and asked in a low voice, "Master Pure Lotus." Didn't you say you were willing to join us? Why did you suddenly change your mind at this time?"
"Who said to join?" Jinglian was slightly dissatisfied, and replied, "I just said that I am willing to meet you, but it doesn't mean that I am willing to join you." You two, didn't you hear it wrong?"
Wang Li only felt ashamed, because when he asked Wang Zhongchen about this matter before, what the other party said was indeed to meet, not join.
"I see? But I'm too anxious. ”
Guo Shoujing laughed at himself for a moment, and after calming himself down, he said to Jinglian: "Indeed, you can also save the people here." But even if you spend your whole life, at most you can only save 800 people, but if you join me, I can help you save more than 10,000 people. ”
"Really?"
Jinglian looked at Guo Shoujing with suspicion in her eyes.
Guo Shoujing closed his head and replied: "Naturally. ”
"Then what kind of method do you say?" Jinglian sneered.
"Very well, then let me ask you, who is more in this world who dies of illness or those who die of hunger?" Guo Shoujing asked.
Jinglian's expression was solemn, and then said, "Naturally, there are many people who die due to hunger. "In the Central Plains, due to years of war, many of its water conservancy facilities have been damaged, resulting in a decrease in grain production, coupled with frequent disasters in the near future, which has naturally caused a lot of grain production to be reduced.
As a result, many people end up starving to death due to lack of food.
As one of them, whether it is Jinglian or Guo Shoujing, they also know this.
"That's right. Hunger! Because of the lack of food, many people starved to death. Even if you have great ability, you can't conjure food so that they can live. Guo Shoujing's expression was gloomy.
He also has the intention to control the antenna, but it is a pity that the war has not been settled for a day, and the people in the Central Plains have been repeatedly oppressed, and they have long been overwhelmed.
Jinglian was also deeply touched, and her tone was not as excited as before: "Since this is the case, what are you going to do?"
"It's simple. That is to dredge the canals and restructure the waterways. ”
Talking about what he did, Guo Shoujing was very happy, and quickly explained: "You should also know that there is a huge difference between the north and the south. If it is in the north, it will be harvested once a year at most, but if it is changed to the south, it can achieve two harvests a year or even three harvests a year, and the gap in grain output can be described as huge. If we can dredge the canal, then we can naturally transport grain from the south of the Yangtze River to the north to solve the problem of food shortage. In this way, how can tens of thousands of lives be saved?"
Speaking of this, Guo Shoujing suddenly gloomy, and said: "It's a pity that dredging the canal is too dangerous, and people often die in it." That's why I begged the master to intervene so that those people could be protected from losing their lives. Isn't it?"
"There is some truth to what you say. Jinglian nodded slightly, quite agreeing with Guo Shoujing's words.
It was too dangerous to dredge the canal, and it was because of the flood that caused the death of his brother that he became what he is today.
Thinking of this, Jinglian looked at Guo Shoujing with a somewhat complicated expression, after all, he had become like this because of this person before, but now he wanted to help him, which made Jinglian feel a little strange.
Guo Shoujing hurriedly asked, "Then are you willing to help me?"
"Forget it. Think of it as revenge. And if I can bring those people under my command, I will have more chances if I want to succeed then, won't I?"
After making up her mind, Jinglian raised her head and replied, "Since this is the case, then I will promise you to help you." ”
