The people are most afraid of chaos in the world. There are several signs before chaos in the world. First, the officialdom is corruption, followed by the powerful and powerful, and then the frequent natural disasters and thieves arose, and then the people are living in poverty.
Chen Lian felt that he was probably still at the stage of corruption in the officialdom.
However, with people like Jiao Zijin in trouble, and Pei Mang and Xiao Ziqing don’t seem to be very smart, this speed will be infinitely accelerated.
But the national collapse will not last overnight, and this process will last for at least ten years.
Therefore, the ten years given by Yin Ju'an is too little.
He would choose Xuanye, which was shorter among the four kings and taller.
If there is a better candidate, he will give up Xuanye without hesitation - after all, this person is a bit of a love-minded person in Chen Lian's memory.
In fact, strictly speaking, Jiao Zijin is also considered a master of being an emperor.
However, such people who are skilled in power to this extent can be regarded as heroes in troubled times, but cannot be benevolent monarchs in peace and prosperity.
As for Pei Mang, a time traveler, although he reformed, although he was useful to the people, he took too fast, which instead touched the interests of some people and caused the regime system to collapse.
He favored the princess of Yue, but the main reason for the chaos in Wei State is that the main reason for the reforms.
But he was almost certain that Pei Mang would be scolded in the future, and that Princess Lin Duruo of Yue would be regarded as a person who was like a beauty.
Bao Si smiled, Xi Shi praised her heart, Daji torture, and her beauty... After the reputation of every peerless beauty, there is a collapsed country and an unkind king.
Chen Lian finally found a small mountain village after sleeping in the suburbs with Le'er several times.
They were traveling north from Pi County, a small town on the border of Wei State, preparing to go to Loulan.
"Young master, I'll knock on the door!" Le'er was probably too excited and ran into the village.
Chen Lian walked slowly and narrowed his eyes when he saw the towering locust tree with a lot of red cloth at the entrance of the village.
If you look closely, it was just dusk. However, there was no smoke rising in the village. If it weren't for the occasional sound of chickens and dogs barking, it might have made people feel that there was no one in this village.
Chen Lian came to the well at the entrance of the village and looked inside, his eyes slightly condensed.
He stared at the well for a while, then looked around the well carefully before walking into the village, and his mount, the yellow donkey Xiaohua, followed him obediently.
The name Xiaohua was chosen by him.
He thought it was better than Le'er's name.
As soon as Chen Lian entered the village, he saw Le'er walking towards her. Behind her, a woman with a pale complexion and skinny look was followed.
"Young Master, Young Master." Le'er walked to Chen Lian and whispered, "This village seems to be a little different." The woman was five steps away from them, and Le'er told Chen Lian straight.
"After I entered the village, I knocked on the doors of several families. There were obviously people inside, but there was no reply. There were several families who opened the doors, so it was difficult for me to go in. Only this woman opened the door and asked if we were passing by and if we wanted to stay overnight."
Le'er finally said pitifully: "This village is a bit strange, why don't we sleep in the wilderness, my son."
"Live here." Chen Lian's eyebrows were as bright as an ancient well, without any slight waves. "Does this woman have any requirements?"
"Yes, I just need to collect ten taels of silver." Speaking of this, Le'er's expression was a little strange.
Ten taels of silver can make her stay in the best inn in Longding for two or three nights.
This woman asked for such a price, which is also an important reason why Le'er didn't like this place.
She could see that these people were very poor and were willing to give the money they should, and even didn't mind giving more.
But it is not unpleasant to say such a lion's mouth.
"Give it to her."
Le'er curled her lips and honestly gave the woman ten taels of silver.
The woman's eyes were so excited that she burst into tears, and she almost knelt down to kowtow to Chen Lian and Le'er.
Le'er: "This person doesn't look like a bad person."
Chen Lian did not answer and followed the woman toward her home.
On the way to the next journey, Chen Lian did not take much effort to find out the woman's identity.
The woman's name is Shu Niang, she is a widow and has a six-year-old daughter.
But I don’t know if my daughter is asleep, but when Chen Lian and Le’er went to her house, they didn’t see her daughter.
Shu Niang lives in the middle of the village. The house is made of mud and the area is not large or small. After entering, Chen Lian found that apart from the dried vegetables placed in the yard, the family was very poor.
"Young Master Fu, Miss Le'er, the farmer has this food, don't dislike you." Shu Niang rubbed her hands and looked at the two of them with some anxiety.
Le'er looked at the dough soup, vegetable dumplings, and a plate of pickles on the table, and her good feelings that aroused from Shu Niang's warm words just now were completely gone.
Her face sank, her hands tightly holding the chopsticks, as if she was about to lose her temper the next moment.
Chen Lian picked up a dish dumpling and took a bite. It was very astringent, but he ate it expressionlessly, and took another sip of dough soup: "Auntie has a good skill, please find some hay to feed my donkey."
Hearing Chen Lian's praise, Le'er was like a deflated ball, and she was also eating the coarse grain honestly.
Shu Niang breathed a sigh of relief and left with a smile.
Le'er put down the chopsticks and looked at Chen Lian with distress: "Young Master, if you can't eat, don't force yourself. This Shu Niang really can't tell from her appearance. She gave her ten taels of silver, and she only gave us this one!"
Chen Lian is very fond of his mouth and has been nourishing the delicacies of mountains and seas over the years. Even the side dishes of Qingpin are made by the hands of Baizhi that turn into magic.
After Chen Lian finished drinking the dough soup, he ate half of the dish dumplings, and then put down his chopsticks and said, "At most, I go to the cottage a few times. If I don't eat it, Shu Niang will feel unpleasant."
Le'er was stunned and could not see that Chen Lian was so kind to his beauty.
It's not right. Chen Lian was in the hall and personally admitted that he liked men, but everyone in the four countries knew it.
Even if Le'er knew that those words were just for excuses, she still felt that Chen Lian was unfaithful and did not care about the charm of the people.
Why do I feel so pity for Shu Niang today?
She thought about Shu Niang's appearance carefully... She didn't know how she was when she was in the mood. Now she is skinny and has a yellow face, and she really has no appearance at all.
The only difference is that she is a widow!
Le'er felt as if she had seen something secret, so she quickly lowered her head and absent-mindedly ate the noodle soup and the croquette and pickles.
Chen Lian went to his room calmly without a changeable look in Guan Le'er.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Fu, I only have a house where I can live. Can I trouble you and Sister Ling live in the same room?"
Shu Niang, who had just fed Xiaohua in the yard, said embarrassedly.
Le'er came out and happened to hear this. She was so angry that she laughed. This was the most unfair ten taels of silver she spent.
