Me and countless me

Chapter 208 Destiny...?

Although he was kicked off the carriage, Li Ke was not angry because he had a guess.

"Brother Yin and Liu Xiu know each other?"

Li Ke asked, and the 'Yin Lihua' in his eyes took a breath, and then turned his head.

"Ah, you can consider him an acquaintance, he is my friend."

The corner of Liu Xiu's mouth twitched, and then he retracted his foot.

She just couldn't hold it back, but now Liu Xiu didn't dare to tell Li Ke her real name.

Not because of anything else, but because she arrived in the county town. Although most people in the county town knew her and knew her name was Liu Xiu, as long as Liu Xiu herself did not call herself Liu Xiu, the government would not come to trouble her.

This was the tacit understanding of everyone, but what surprised Liu Xiu was that when he kicked this guy named Wang Mang to the ground, the other person was not angry. Could he really be a fool? No, a gentleman?

But why would a gentleman curse someone behind their back?

And he still scolded himself.

So Liu Xiu asked out of curiosity.

"Do you have any grudge against Liu Xiu?"

Li Ke shook his head.

"It's not really a grudge, it's just a matter of stance..."

Standing up, Li Ke subconsciously wanted to say that the power of his Wang family had come to an end. If he wanted to move forward again, he would have to infringe on the interests of the Han clan, large and small, and various aristocratic families.

At that time, the Han clan clan, which was still very powerful in this era, would immediately notice the problem and then resist themselves.

To put it bluntly, Liu Xiu's success has a lot to do with these Han clan clan members.

But it is a pity that for the imperial power, Liu Xiu had to rely on the power of the aristocratic family, and the Western Han Dynasty was ruined from the beginning.

only……

Li Ke stood up and patted the dust on himself and looked in the direction of Chang'an.

If he leaves, he will probably become a puppet.

His reforms will not only affect other aristocratic families, but also have a great impact on the Wang family.

He, Li Ke, can betray his own class, but others may not.

So once I get there, there are really very few things I can do.

Li Ke sighed. This was the result even if he didn't ask for immortality. This was why he wanted to be alone before, and even gave many things to his brother to make him famous.

But now...

Li Ke got on the carriage again, looked at Liu Xiu who looked confused and spoke.

"If I were in power, I would try to be gentle when letting people devour these common people, without making them unable to wear clothes, without having to change their sons in the winter, and all the wealthy families can eat with their mouths full of oil."

He smiled and expressed his thoughts, which was the only thing he could do.

Machiavellian schemes and power structures always require people to operate, and then they will corrupt and collapse, but productivity will not. As long as you can put forward scientific concepts and improve productivity while you are alive, then many problems can be solved, at least...

The life of the common people at the bottom will be a little better.

However, this cannot be told to other people, so although Li Ke has a natural trust in Yin Lihua, Li Ke did not express his knowledge.

but.

As Wang Mang, Li Ke had a lot to think about, but Liu Xiu only had to speak out.

"It's useless. Even if you manage it for ten or twenty years, you will eventually be unable to manage it. At that time, it will still return to the way it is now. After people are full, they will think about eating meat and putting on clothes. After that, I want to wear something comfortable and beautiful. After I have shoes, I want to ride a horse. After I have land, I want to be a landlord. Greed is endless.”

Putting the straight branch on his shoulders, Liu Xiu tilted his head and looked at Li Ke, showing a disdainful smile.

"Or do you think Confucianism can make people not want to eat, wear clothes, or even want land?"

Her face was full of sarcasm, giving Li Ke a strange feeling, a feeling that she shouldn't be Yin Lihua at all.

But how could Liu Xiu be a woman?

"Then we need to find ways to increase gross production. To put it simply, it means making farming easier and yielding better yields."

Li Ke revealed part of his plan, while Liu Xiu spoke with a piqued attitude.

"Then the aristocratic family will have more servants, raise higher taxes, and earn more money."

However, Li Ke just smiled gently, but he still concealed part of his thoughts.

"Then let a wolf king who is willing to do this become a wolf, and he will eat whoever crosses the line."

But Liu Xiu just sneered.

"With so many strong wolves, it is impossible for the new Wolf King to have this opportunity and ability."

Both of them knew what they were talking about, but neither of them wanted to explain it clearly. Under the bright sunshine and breeze, the hair of Li Ke and the 'Yin Lihua' in his eyes were blown by the wind and intertwined. Li Ke looked at the sky.

I don’t know why, but I still couldn’t hold back my words.

"Then let the Wolf King have this power..."

He stretched out his hand, and on it was an exquisite musket.

He made this with the help of many brothers in Lingtai Fangcun Mountain and Xieyue Sanxing Cave, but it would be very troublesome to mass-produce it, as it was completely made by hand.

And before coming, he had ordered people to pay attention to the whereabouts of these brothers. When they come down the mountain, his people will find them immediately, and then bring these craftsmen with good abilities into his command.

After all, those who can be accepted into the disciples of Patriarch Bodhi will at least have no problem with their IQ, and their vision will not be too bad either.

But before that, he must have a subordinate who belongs to him completely, and Yin Lihua in front of him is the best person.

Li Ke never thought that a random girl he met would have such thinking ability.

So Li Ke suddenly pulled the trigger under Liu Xiu's strange gaze.

The next moment, Liu Xiu's red eyes widened because she saw thunder and fire. Thousands of thunder suddenly erupted in the sky at this time. A wonderful feeling suddenly enveloped the two people, even Li Ke. I also felt that there were countless eyes and other things looking at me.

Li Ke knew very well that he had created a weapon in this world in advance that could cause countless killings, so he would naturally be noticed, but it didn't matter.

Whether a weapon is good or bad depends on the person.

Even if it is a spear of kindness, its owner may not necessarily be someone who has never killed anyone.

The projectiles propelled by the gunpowder directly broke the branches beside the road, breaking the thick branches in an instant, leaving Liu Xiu stunned.

Her eyesight was quite good and she could clearly see the crossbow arrows coming, but she could not see clearly or understand this strange thing.

But she was very sure of its power.

It can definitely penetrate armor!

She grabbed Li Ke's arm with some excitement and asked seriously.

"These are the minions you gave the Wolf King?! But the Wolf King's teeth and claws have long since fallen out!"

Li Ke looked at Liu Xiu and smiled.

"So it belongs to the new Wolf King."

Liu Xiu opened his eyes wide and subconsciously retracted his hand.

"You want to be the Wolf King?"

As she spoke, a gust of wind appeared out of thin air around her. The wind was so strong that the guards around Li Ke and others could not hear the conversation between the two people. Even those who were shocked felt that the sound just now, It's thunder.

Because, in the next moment, countless thunder bombarded the tree that Li Ke had just hit, causing the tree to burn.

"I don't want to. To be precise, I just want the wolves in the world to be gentler when eating, so that the sheep can be more comfortable. As for whether I can be the wolf king? I don't care. However, my wife, my mother, and my sister-in-law are innocent, so I need someone to help me protect them."

Li Ke grabbed the hand of 'Yin Lihua' in front of him. He was not a fool. If the girl in front of him could give him such a strange feeling, she was definitely not a mortal. In addition, this lightning and thunder was definitely his. The reason why the destiny and Liu Xiu's destiny collide.

"So, can you follow me and become my assistant? I want to make you one of my closest people, one of my most important helpers."

Liu Xiu was stunned. She blushed a little, so she subconsciously asked.

"Why one."

Li Ke looked at the girl with a strange expression.

"My mother is definitely the closest person to me, and my parents are definitely the closest people. Just because I invite you doesn't mean that I want to abandon my parents."

Liu Xiu: "…………"

She rubbed her temples, feeling that the man in front of her was really intolerable, but he also had a kind of magnanimity, coupled with the kind of involuntary attraction to her, that made her want to grab his neck and use The feeling of drinking in his head...

Liu Xiu's memory flashed back to his elder brother drinking wine with the lips of those dancers, and his face turned red.

But soon, Liu Xiu woke up amidst the thunder.

She looked at the gun in Li Ke's hand and knew one thing very clearly, that is, the existence of this thing would change the war, and such a small tube could release such terrifying power, so if this thing was enlarged and shot out If the small projectile becomes larger, wouldn't it be able to destroy even the city wall? The so-called catapult is nothing in front of this thing?

Isn't it just a matter of day and night to attack a city?

When Liu Xiu thought of this, the wild wolf's mind occupied the high ground again. He looked at Li Ke and asked with a cold attitude.

"Let me be your assistant..."

Liu Xiu pointed to the firearm in Li Ke's hand.

"Tell me where this thing came from and how much it cost?"

Li Ke smiled. After thinking about it, Li Ke no longer cared whether he could survive or not.

He wished that the steel formula for making firearms and the forging method of steel could be spread throughout the world. Steel is the backbone of industry and the basis of everything. Before the emergence of materials that can replace steel, the output of steel is the backbone of a nation.

"Of course, if you are willing, all my knowledge can be handed over to you, but the price is that you must ensure the safety of my family, at least the safety of my mother and sister-in-law."

The aristocratic family, the Han Dynasty that was about to perish, he Li Ke didn't pay attention to, but the destiny was different.

He looked at 'Yin Lihua' in front of him. If anyone could protect Liu Xiu, it would be Yin Lihua.

If you really can't defy destiny, then you can work hard to protect your relatives, but it doesn't matter to you, as long as you can show the benefits of scientific research and promoting productivity to these wealthy families before you die.

"Your knowledge?"

Liu Xiu was stunned for a moment. She didn't think this guy in front of her, who didn't know how to get along with and talk to others, had anything to teach her.

"Yes, for example, better breeding methods, better weaving methods, better farming methods, if I try my best, if the raw materials are enough, I should be able to increase the output of steel and cloth. Ten times."

Li Ke spoke very calmly.

Liu Xiu's first reaction was disbelief, but when she looked at the gun in Li Ke's hand, its exquisite appearance and powerful power made her choose to believe it.

then--

"Okay, you teach me and I'll help you."

Liu Xiu spoke. At this moment, there was lightning and thunder in the sky, as if there were dragons and phoenixes singing, and Li Ke held Liu Xiu's hand.

"Okay, may I ask your name."

Liu Xiu hesitated for a while, thinking of Li Ke's attitude towards him, looking at Li Ke's sincere and handsome face, and finally spoke with trepidation.

"Liu..."

Thunder flashed and thunder exploded. Li Ke didn't hear what Liu Xiu was saying at all. After the lightning and thunder, he looked at the girl and found that her face was blushing and she spoke in an awkward manner.

"Yin, Yin Lixiu."

Li Ke nodded. He had never heard of the name at all, so...

Arrogant?

Recalling the girl's performance, Li Ke gave a thumbs up.

"What a name! Good brother!"

Liu Xiu rolled his eyes and couldn't help but look at the sky.

At this time, rain continued to fall from the sky. Although it was not a good thing for them, the farmers on the side shouted excitedly.

Because the rain finally came.

This year, no one will starve to death.

——————————

But what Li Ke didn't expect was that 'Yin Lihua' would come alone, and her group of men would follow. It's just that the names are quite nonsense, and you can tell they are fake names at a glance.

But Li Ke didn't care either. What he cared about most was Yin Lihua.

It would be best if Yin Lihua could marry herself. If she couldn't marry herself, then it would be good to keep her knowledge and skills.

So Liu Xiu stayed by Li Ke's side. Li Ke taught Liu Xiu science and other things, as well as some classic routines in officialdom.

These were all things he learned when he was a child, but he hasn't used them for a long time.

Liu Xiu, on the other hand, eagerly absorbed the knowledge taught by Li Ke and continued to learn the science of this world. The superficial science of this world that Li Ke combined with the teachings of Patriarch Bodhi explored.

only--

"Brother, brothers naturally have to take a bath together and sleep together! Don't you think of me as a brother?"

Liu Xiu blushed and stammered as she spoke to Li Ke.

Li Ke looked at her and sighed helplessly.

Because of this ‘Miss Yin’.

Pretending to be a man.
