"Well, I understand."
After hearing Old Man Hua's answer that didn't seem like an answer, Xiao Han nodded, slumped back into the chair again, and stared blankly at the beams above his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Boy!"
When Old Man Hua saw Xiao Han like this, he hesitated for a moment, then sighed, and slowly said: "Manpower comes and goes! You don't have to feel guilty for what you can't do! When you are my age, Only then can we understand: It is more important to live well and do the present well!"
Having said this, the old man paused for a moment, looked at Xiao Han with a meaningful look, and then continued: "Moreover, right and wrong in this world are not as simple as you think! What you think is right is not It must be right! What you think is wrong may not be wrong! Master, I know that you pity the people! But is the person above you the same as Jie and Zhou?"
"What I think is right may not be right? What I think is wrong may not be wrong?"
After hearing Old Man Hua's words, Xiao Han's confused eyes finally gradually revealed a glimmer of clarity.
At this moment, the question that had been confusing him suddenly opened a gap in the middle!
Yes, why do you think that what Xiao Lizi did is wrong and that he is wasting the lives of the people?
These aristocratic families today have long become the fundamental hidden danger to the entire dynasty! If they are not eliminated, the seemingly powerful Tang Dynasty may collapse one day in the future!
Since long-term pain and short-term pain are all pain!
No matter how you look at it, no matter how you look at it, this deal is a worthwhile one.
As for those people who were displaced or even lost their lives due to the war, they are indeed innocent!
But at the end of the Sui Dynasty, weren't the nearly 40 million people who died innocent?
Choose the lesser of two evils! Why couldn't I understand such a simple truth before?
——————————————————————
God knows why the county magistrate went crazy. He suddenly asked everyone to waste all their time to build the walls of this new city! He even offered a salary three times higher than before!
This is triple the reward!
They say money can make the world go round!
With such high remuneration, those penniless refugees who were eager to save some money became jealous at that time!
Working under the sun during the day and under the moon at night, the progress of the entire project more than doubled in an instant!
"Uncle Fatty, why are we building this wall in such a hurry? There's nothing inside."
At the foot of the new city, King Luo Bin, holding a stack of accounts, curiously asked the fat man next to him.
Hearing this, the fat man grinned and said, "What else can you do? Just be on guard against enemies! It's not like you don't know how chaotic it is outside now. Hurry up and build a wall around it. If something happens, people can hide in!"
"Then why not hide in the old city? Doesn't the old city have a ready-made wall?"
"Idiot! How old is the old city? How can it accommodate so many people? Besides, if we don't build the city wall, what will so many people be doing? Let them make trouble with nothing?"
"oh……"
After hearing the fat man's answer, King Luo Bin nodded his head as if he understood.
Seeing King Luo Bin nodding, the fat man first smiled with satisfaction, then suddenly remembered something, frowned and asked: "Huh? I forgot to ask just now, why did you run out to work again? Didn't the Marquis say that you mother and son Are all your expenses recorded in the Hou Mansion?"
"Hehe, isn't this kid already accepting the great favor from Lord Marquis and living in the city! Why do you still have the nerve to eat and drink for free? My mother just happened to have settled down, so I came out quickly to see if anything happened. I can help!" Seeing the fat man asking him, King Luo Bin scratched the back of his head and replied sheepishly.
But when the fat man heard this, he straightened up and pretended to be angry: "How can you, a little kid, help? Go and have a rest. Go back to the inn and stay there. Be careful here, a brick will open the pot for you again!"
"It's okay, I'll hide when the bricks come!" King Luo Bin grinned with a naive smile. He didn't look like a child prodigy at all, but looked exactly like the silly boy next door.
"Can you hide? Do you have eyes on your head that can keep staring at the sky?" The fat man was unmoved and snorted coldly, holding the little guy by the collar like a chicken. Go to town.
"Hey, slow down, slow down!" The little boy was being carried by someone, and his legs couldn't reach the ground. He could only kick and shout randomly: "I just thought of a way to build the city wall faster. !”
"Um?"
Sure enough, this sentence still works! As soon as he heard that he had a way to speed up the progress, the fat man, who knew some secrets, was immediately stunned, and subconsciously relaxed his hold on the little boy.
However, in this way, it will be a hardship for the little King Luo Bin!
He didn't have any defense at all. At that time, he only felt a lightness in his body, and then the next second, he sat down on the ground. The pain was so painful that he grimaced and had tears in his eyes.
Moreover, what is even more irritating is that the fat man who caused King Luo Bin's injury, not only did not feel the slightest bit ashamed, but instead stared suspiciously at the little King Luo Bin who was constantly rubbing his butt on the ground.
"Are you lying to me? So many people haven't thought of any solution. Do you have any solution?"
"Why did I lie to you? Ouch, my ass..."
"Stop howling, your butt is still growing on your body! Come on, what can you do? If you can't tell me something, humph, your butt may really tell you. Bye now!"
Seeing the fat man looking at his butt maliciously, King Luo Bin was shocked. He immediately did not dare to mess around anymore, and pointed to the city wall being built with a grin on his face and said:
"Actually, my method is very simple! Look, Uncle Fatty, isn't the purpose of building this city wall now to protect against dangers from the outside? Then let's light the outside first and leave the inside first! We can even make a big slope inside first , it’s so convenient to send supplies for city defense to the top of the wall! In this way, won’t the city wall be built faster?”
"Huh? What you said seems to make sense! We don't have to do it all at once. Let's get the outside done first, at least to bluff people? As for the inside, no one else can see it anyway!"
After hearing King Luo Bin explain this method, the fat man immediately reacted and slapped his thigh heavily!
Why didn't he think of such a simple question?
"I'm going to find the county magistrate right now. You, please hurry back to the inn for me. Don't dare to get hurt outside! It's no wonder that the Marquis values you so much. You have such a good and smart mind. If you are knocked stupid, That would be a pity!”
(Belated blessing: Brothers and sisters, happy Mid-Autumn Festival!)
