I don't want to be a saint

Chapter 194 Monkey spirit!

Guo Yi took Zhuzi and Jiang Xu to 'Shangyan Village' to find Ye Huaiwu, the three of them went.But when they came back, they expanded the team to six people!
And one of them is surprisingly a gentleman...

The title of Xianggong cannot be used indiscriminately in the Great Zhou Dynasty.This is a special title for the prime minister.

At this time, the term "Xianggong" has not yet become a flood, but it is a respectful title for the prime minister and other first- and second-rank officials.

A group of six people returned along the original path of the old river.Walking fast and walking slowly, we finally arrived at the 'Donghu Village' at the time of Bangwan.

After spending the night at Hu Shunli's house again, the next morning, several people went on the road again, continuing to walk eastward along the old river.

The sun has just come out, sprinkle a piece of orange.

Young Master Pei carried the burden on his back, and followed lazily at the end. Looking at the orange clouds in the sky, he lamented feebly: "Father! Where are we going? Wouldn't it be better to find a road to ride in a mule cart?"

Pei Xianggong and Guo Yi walked in the front side by side, and he replied without turning his head: "Go to the sand dunes and take a look. Look at the two sides of the river bank, is there a way?
As for the mule cart, I have already sent someone to inform Liangzi to go directly to Jiangling City! "

Liangzi is the strong man driving the mule cart.Because the river is full of fine sand, driving is not allowed.

Pei Xidao asked him to wait at 'Ueno Village' and return to 'Ueno Village' after watching the river digging, and left in a mule cart.

But who knows, by coincidence, they met Ye Huaiwu and Guo Yi.

Later, he was abducted here by Guo Yi.

So, he directly asked someone to inform Liangzi, and asked him to drive the mule cart to Jiangling City directly.

But at this time, when Mr. Pei heard this answer, his face was full of color, and he continued very sadly: "Father, this is nothing more than a broken river without water. What's there to see?"

"Look at your virtues, you don't have the vigor of a young man at all! In a weak crown year, you are still incapable of writing or martial arts, just like a piece of useless wood!
Look at you, and then look at Guo Erlang.Before reaching the weak crown, he has already assisted His Highness the King of Chu to defend against this drought!

Before reaching the weak crown, he is already famous in Jinghu!
Look at you again, look at your weak and lifeless virtue, as the eldest son of the Xianggong's family, you don't have any achievements to speak of!

If I were you, I would have no face to live in the world, and I would just crash to death here! "

scare!
Under Pei Xianggong's stern reprimand, Pei Ruyu suddenly trembled, and the originally hazy drowsiness suddenly dissipated.

Instantly woke up.

Immediately, he shut his mouth tightly, not daring to speak out, and silently followed at the end.But his eyes involuntarily glanced at the handsome young man in front of him.

At this time, Guo Yi felt very refreshed.

Finally, unexpectedly, one day I will become someone else's child!
In the mouth of my parents in the previous life, it has always been, look at the son of the old Wang family next door, from elementary school to high school, has always been No.1 in the class, and look at you, there is no advantage at all!
Or, look at your uncle's cousin, who is only two years older than you, but his monthly salary is twice yours!
He couldn't bear to listen to it either, so he used dung to paint the walls for a while, but in the end, he was still not as good as others.

And now, finally, he has become someone else's child too!Rare!

This belated honor.

I thank you eight generations of ancestors!
This was the first time he sincerely thanked this dog system.

While walking, Pei Xidao looked at the ditch and said, "According to your words, after this ditch is dug for water, it will be used as an import for transporting carbon from 'Donghu Village'.

After frying the salt, it will be transported along this ditch to Bashui, where it will be shipped? "

"Yeah!" Guo Yi nodded and agreed: "It takes a lot of firewood to boil the stew and salt, and this is a barren land, there is no firewood to burn, so we can only bring in coal.

But you see, there are no roads to travel here.If it is done now, it will not only cost money, but also delay time.

Even if the road is built, we have to wait until later. "

He didn't say anything else. Now is the time when money is scarce. Only after the salt farms produce salt and sell it for money can they have money to build roads.

Pei Xi nodded knowingly: "Yes! Since it is next to the river, the land route is the second choice. Taking the water route is not only convenient, but also reduces the expenses of mules and horses.

Well!When the river swells due to heavy rain in Bashui, it can also discharge flood here to mediate the water flow.

At that time, another ditch will be dug to lead to the water-scarce land in the north.

It can kill many birds with one stone! "

"Yes! Anywhere is good, but it costs money! Your Highness is living with his belt tightened."

When Pei Xidao heard the words, he couldn't help smiling, shook his head and said in agreement: "We have come to Jinghu North Road a long time ago, and when we first came here, we heard rumors that the King of Chu emptied the treasury of Jiangling and wanted to deal with the drought in advance.

He Tongpan is even more of an up-and-comer, saying that the king of Chu is extravagant and wasteful, and he doesn't know how to save money.

hehe!Now it seems that people in this world have underestimated His Royal Highness King Chu. "

The last rebuttal is not easy to answer, it can neither be admitted nor denied.

If you admit it, others will guess whether King Chu has other ambitions because he is so capable.If you don't admit it, you are so self-effacing, are you planning something secretly?
Therefore, Guo Yi remained silent.

But Pei Xidao didn't hear the reply, so he couldn't help raising his eyebrows and glanced at him, this kid, you monkey spirit!
His last sentence was added on purpose.Let's see if Guo Yi will continue to praise King Chu.

After all, young people love nothing more than boasting and bragging.

And this kid not only held back, but also made the best response.

It's getting more and more interesting.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing and continued to say: "When I first came here, I thought I would see starvation everywhere, and my heart was very heavy.

But who knows, the appeasement envoy of Jinghu North Road has already started many self-rescue measures, and the results have been remarkable.

His Royal Highness the King of Chu defied the disapproval of the world by resisting the judgment and emptying the treasury.

However, there is still one thing I don't understand, can Erlang clarify one or two things? "

There is a pit!

This was Guo Yi's first reaction.So, he didn't want to respond.

But the other party was Mr. Pei, so he had to answer.Moreover, he also had to dig a hole and drag the other party into the hole.

"Excuse me, as long as the kid knows, he must talk endlessly!" He wanted to ask others, so he kept his posture very low.

Fraud!

This was Pei Xidao's first reaction.

Agreeing so happily is not at all in line with the rigorous character of this monkey spirit.At such a young age, he knew how to keep his mouth shut.

But now, to actually agree so happily, there must be fraud.

have to guard...

With this in mind, he couldn't help but become more cautious, glanced at Guo Yi next to him again, and said carefully: "It has been rumored for a long time that the King of Chu emptied the treasury. But now, the appeasement officer on Jingbei Road is still doing various constructions.

Not only vigorously promoted the plunder and hydraulic thresher, but also recruited more than 3000 laborers to dig out the old river.

Where does this money come from? "
