Someone thousands of miles away thought of him, so Zhou Xing would naturally not know about it, and there would be no symptoms such as sneezing. Of course, if he knew that it was a man who was thinking about him, he might not sneeze or something, but make the hairs on his hair stand on end.
He didn't know Jordan's predicament thousands of miles away. He was a little embarrassed, but it was much better than Jordan.
Since the public verdict of Huang Ang and Guo Gui that day, the name of Gao Qingtian that he had expected did not appear. More people looked at him with a sense of alienation in addition to the previous awe.
As for Guo Gui's younger brother Guo Wen, although his attitude towards him is more respectful, he can still feel that he no longer has the closeness to him that he showed in his words and deeds before. And because he sent Guo Gui to the county government, he felt uncomfortable every time he looked at Guo Wen these days, as if he had done something sorry for Guo Wen, as if he had done something wrong.
Even the mother and daughter whom Guo Gui used to occupy, after Zhou Xing did this, they were not grateful like Hu E, but were confused, and then cried loudly that without Guo Gui, our mother and daughter would be gone. I can't go back to my previous home, so how will I live in the future?
Hu E was found hanging from a tree the day after his verdict. She committed suicide. The mother and daughter Guo Gui occupied were also found the next day. Their mother committed suicide by throwing herself into a well, while her fourteen-year-old daughter was kneeling on the roadside, willing to sell herself to bury her mother.
This made Zhou Xing even more at a loss, and even more doubtful about life, and whether his previous three views were right or wrong.
Faced with these results, poor Zhou Xing was completely confused.
He is just an otaku who has been educated by the government system of that world since he was a child. He has some simple and simple worldview values, some values that he thinks are without any doubt.
But now, he suddenly discovered that those simple values are actually contradictory to each other, and he was not aware of it before.
This discovery really frightened him for several days.
"My lord, you have done nothing wrong." Du Chou, who had been officially employed as his boss, explained to him: "The Book of Changes says: The way of heaven is bright and goes down to help, and the way of earth is humble and goes up. My lord, you are the king here in Bodao, You should follow the way of heaven. As a minister in Shangluo, you should follow the way of earth."
"Walter?" Zhou Xing looked confused when he heard this sentence for the first time, and couldn't help but spit out a language from that world, "What is the light of heaven? What does this mean?"
"Lord, look, does God have feelings?"
"No." Zhou Xing shook his head.
"That's right. Heaven's behavior is always consistent. Yao will not survive, and Zhou will not perish. God will not give you more sunshine just because you are the Holy Lord, nor will it give you less sunshine just because you are a tyrant." Du Chou said. There was a pause here, and after seeing Zhou Xing nodding to indicate that he understood the truth, he continued: "Then what is the truth expressed by God?"
"It's fair, it's selfless, it's holistic, it's free of subjective feelings, it's the great road."
When Zhou Xing heard Du Chou's words, he felt as if a light flashed through the busy darkness in his heart. Then he tried to look for it, but found darkness again. Vaguely, he understood something, but he just couldn't figure it out.
"My lord, you are like God to the people of our kingdom. You only look at the whole and don't care about individual joys and sorrows. If you don't handle what Huang Ang did like this, then everyone will follow Huang Ang's example. Ang, how will our kingdom be governed in the future? How will it be run? If everyone takes advantage of your status as the lord like Guo Gui to take advantage of the situation, then my lord, do you think the people in our kingdom will follow Guo Gui's example in the future?"
"If you pity the woman who Guo Gui snatched and committed suicide instead of trying Guo Gui like that, Guo Gui and the woman would not have to suffer such a tragic fate, but what about the others? Everyone will follow Guo Gui's example, and the Hou Guoguo will change What's it like?"
"So, my lord, the way of heaven is bright and beneficial. All you need to do is follow the way of heaven. Does God care about the wealth or poverty of an individual? Does it care about the misery or luck of an individual? Does God care about whether the individual hates God or not? Love God? Heaven behaves in its own way. When it should be summer, it will be summer, and when it should be winter, it will be winter. It will not change summer into winter just because some individual says that I am going to die from the heat. right?"
At this moment, Zhou Xing suddenly became enlightened.
"I dare to ask, sir," Zhou Xing's attitude was even more modest: "What does it mean to be humble and ascend?"
I was really ignorant before, Zhou Xing lamented in his heart again.
The rough singing of the boatmen rang out on the vast river, and it resonated in the ears of Jordan, who came to Bodao alone.
"Who composed the lyrics and music of this song? The artistic conception is both tragic and solemn, and it also reveals the meaning of indifference and tranquility. It is really wonderful."
Jordan had tried every means these days, and even got the support of his two uncles at home, but he was still unable to implement it due to his father's firm opposition.
According to his father's original words: "Since your great-grandfather became a great Confucian, everyone in our Qiao family has studied the scriptures intensively. Don't I know that the starting point of this policy is to benefit the country and the people? But how can things in the world be the same as others? What you want? The world has changed. In my father's opinion, this policy will not only not benefit the country, but will cause chaos. Everyone says that Deng'er will greatly rejuvenate our Qiao family in the future, but in my father's opinion, your future Not only will it fail to prosper our Qiao family, but it will lead our Qiao family to a path of no return."
Jordan couldn't convince his father, but he wouldn't be convinced either.
"As long as we can rejuvenate the country and benefit the people, what if our Qiao family suffers? When a man lives in the world, he should sweep the world away, how can he only care about his own room!"
He doesn't like Zhou Xing, very much. From the first moment he saw Zhou Xing, he didn't like this person. There was no reason, he just didn't like him. The education and training in his family since he was young allowed him to hide this dislike very well, at least not visible on the surface. Although he disliked the other party very much, and although he thought in his heart that the things Zhou Xing did in Bodao were nonsense, there was one thing about Jordan that he was sure of. That is, it can be seen from those few things that this Zhou Xing is definitely an unconventional person, and the things he does are also things that benefit the country and the people. Therefore, after Luo Shang had sent people to recruit Zhou Xing twice but failed, Jordan took the initiative to come to Bodao to invite Zhou Xing himself.
Now on the river, looking at the vast river and listening to the unknown lyrics and music, the boredom of these days seems to have disappeared with the wind, and I feel comfortable again.
"Brother Du," there were two monks standing side by side on the other side of the ship, one wearing a fifth-grade brown robe and the other wearing a sixth-grade green robe. It was the sixth-grade green-robed monk who spoke at this time, "I heard that the lyrics and music were composed by Marquis Gaoting?"
"Exactly." This fifth-grade brown-robed monk is Du Chou. This time, he went to Bajun and invited his friend Ling Pu, a doctor, to come to Bodao to sit in charge of Zhou Xing's medical clinic. "Brother Ling, do you know the story behind this song and lyrics?"
"I would like to hear the details." Ling Pu was obviously very interested in this.
"Didn't my lord sentence his steward Guo Gui to death that day? When my wife found out, she was furious and said that Guo Gui was a slave of the Jinyang royal family. It was a death sentence and it would never be your turn." Du Chou discussed his lord's scandal behind his back without any scruples, and said cheerfully: "Guess what happened next?"
"I heard that Guo Gui was also handed over?"
"Yes, my lord insisted on removing Guo Gui from his status as a slave before handing him over. The lady was naturally furious and did not let my lord in for several days."
"Hahahaha." Ling Pu laughed loudly after hearing this, "What does that have to do with this song and song?"
"In order to make amends, my lord asked the county magistrate's wife to invite my wife to come and play on the river, and it was on that day that he sang this song on the river.
Jordan over there was so sophisticated that he could hear the words of the two men word by word even in the roaring river wind. When he first heard that the lyrics and music were composed by Zhou Xing, his already cheerful mood became less smooth. Later, when he heard about the marital affairs between him and Wang Tianyun, his mood became even worse.
Although he had recently forced himself to forget Wang Tianyun, this kind of thing could not be easily forgotten. The beautiful figure behind the sword pavilion is still clearly visible in my heart, but the lady is already married.
He took a long breath and suppressed his extremely uncomfortable and irritable mood. Then I heard Ling Puqi say: "Why are there so few trackers? We have many more trackers pulling boats in Jiangzhou than here."
"There were a lot of people there originally." But the boatman said: "These days, Gaohou's side has been constantly constructing. Not only does it have enough rice every day, I heard that after the work is completed, Gaohou will also give a certain amount of money based on the speed and quality of the construction. Bonus. Many trackers have gone to Gaohou to work. It is much more comfortable than pulling boats here."
"Hmph, it's just a small favor." Jordan couldn't help but think after hearing this: "Compared with the great things I have done to benefit the country and the people, it is like a firefly compared to the moonlight."
Several people waited for the boat to dock, and each led their own horses to get off the boat. Du Chou and Ling Pu rode for a while, and when they saw Jordan following behind, they couldn't help but ask, "Is this brother also going to the Bodao Kingdom?"
"That's right." Jordan secretly screamed with shame. Before boarding the ship, they saw that he was also a monk, so the two of them intentionally or unintentionally expressed their friendship to him. However, he was always arrogant, so after nodding, he stood alone and proudly. . Seeing him like this, Du Chou and the others would naturally not invite him again. At this time, he landed on the shore and couldn't help but ask for directions, so he could only follow closely behind the two people. "I just came here and didn't know where to go, so I followed the two brothers. I hope you won't be surprised."
"Hahahaha." Du Chou heard the words and laughed heartily: "When we go out, we are brothers all over the world. It seems that this is probably the first time for this little brother to go out alone? My name is Du Chou, and I am now appointed as the Marquis of Bodao. My lord, Bo, is from Jiangzhou, Bajun, and his name is Lingpu."
"Oh, I've admired them for a long time." In fact, Jordan had never heard of these two people at all, so he said politely: "My name is Jordan."
"Qiaoden?" Du Chou and Ling Pu were shocked when they heard the name: "Qiaoden from the Qiao family in Shu County?"
"That's right." Seeing the reactions of these two people, Jordan's mood finally brightened up again.
"It turns out that he is the eldest son of the Qiao family in Shu County. It is a great blessing to meet him today." Du Chou and the two men said sincerely, clasping their fists on the horse and saluting: "Dou once attended a class under the ancestors for a period of time and benefited from it. There are many things that I still remember in my heart. I haven’t visited you for a long time, and I feel very ashamed, but I wonder how my ancestor is doing these days.”
"Brother Meng, please tell me that our ancestors are in good health and everything is well."
With this relationship, the three of them immediately became familiar with each other and chatted and laughed for less than half an hour. From a distance, Jordan saw two flat boulders over one foot high erected on both sides of the official road.
On one side it says: Welcome to the Kingdom of Bodao!
On one side it says: Welcome to the land of tea!
Seeing both Jordan and Ling Pu looking puzzled, Du Chou coughed a few times and said in a slightly embarrassed voice: "This is my master's wish. He must let someone get a few at the border of the Hou Kingdom." this thing.
"When did Bodao become the hometown of tea?" Jordan was very dissatisfied, but looking at Du Chou's slightly embarrassed expression, he finally suppressed this sentence in his stomach, "Isn't this Zhou Xing It’s all nonsense.”
He had just passed by on horseback, and when he turned around, he finally couldn't help but laugh. It turns out that there are two lines of words behind these two huge rocks.
On the other hand, he wrote: Welcome to visit us next time!
While writing: I wish you a happy journey!
He couldn't help it, so he smiled and said: "Fortunately, the word is really beautiful!"
"Ahem," Du Chou coughed twice more, "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed. These words were written by Du."
Qiao Deng Du Chou and the others walked for a while, and then saw a crowd of people and dust flying not far to the left of the official road in front, where a group of people were busy going back and forth.
The first thing that caught Jordan's attention was that many people were pushing a very strange vehicle. The vehicles were large, small, deep, shallow, and flat. But most have just one wheel underneath. This completely subverts Jordan's impression that vehicles are all with two wheels or four wheels. Some of the workers were wearing tattered clothes, but most were bare-chested, pushing a wheelbarrow filled with sand or stones and placing them in the corresponding places.
Du Chou obviously saw Qiaoden and Ling Pu's curiosity, and said with a hearty smile: "Those are called unicycles, and my lord designed them himself. I couldn't even imagine that one wheel could run. My lord said this was too official. It was narrow and even muddy on rainy days, so he had to build another official road on the other side of the official road."
"This construction of officialdom is a big project," Ling Pu frowned and said, "Your kingdom only has a few members, and he is doing so much construction. How many years and months will it take to do this?"
"Hahahahaha," Du Chou laughed when he heard this: "Brother Ling is compassionate and compassionate. I understand it very well. When I first heard that my lord wanted to cultivate officialdom, I objected immediately, saying that this manpower was simply useless. Not enough. Since ancient times, only the government has been able to organize enough manpower to build this kind of thing. As a result, what do you think my lord said?"
This time, not to mention Ling Pu, even Jordan was already interested. But with his arrogance, he naturally wouldn't ask. His mind was running wildly, thinking about what he would do if he wanted to do this. He was thinking hard here, but Ling Pu had already asked: "What did your Marquis Gao say?"
