"Yes, accept"
"[The Way of Government] has been learned, +1500, and the host's original scattered knowledge and insights have been discovered. Should they be merged?"
"yes!"
"[The Way of Government] merge, gain understanding, +2758, level 4, 1258/4000"
All kinds of knowledge flowed into it instantly, and Su Ziji could feel that in his original system, this knowledge was considered old, but once it was translated into concepts that he could understand, a lot of knowledge became youthful, and it was like an enlightenment in his mind. It unfolds clearly and broadens a new knowledge system...
"It turns out that knowledge is of course old and new, and there is progress."
"But the difference between ancient and modern times is mainly in productivity, rather than backwardness in management knowledge."
"The term "obscene sacrifice" is replaced by the term "future". It is just a change of the soup but not the medicine. It is just that the noun is replaced by mainstream thinking. The essence is still the same."
Su Ziji was receiving the information when a sudden noise interrupted the interaction between the two. Before that, Li Zheng hurried to Qi Hongxin, glanced at Su Ziji in surprise, and reported anxiously: "The rebels have arrived, thousands of them. People have already surrounded the Water God Temple, otherwise you should evacuate quickly from the back door! Seeing how aggressive they are, and some of them holding weapons, I am afraid that if they cannot achieve their goal this time, they will not give up!"
Qi Hongxin woke up from his trance and realized that he had almost fallen into a nightmare just now, and what he said didn't sound like himself at all. Fortunately, he didn't say anything he shouldn't have said, he just introduced the obscene priest.
Taking a deep breath, Qi Hongxin gradually changed his expression, regaining his dignity and indifference. After hearing these words, he stood up and said coldly: "Evacuate? I am the prefect of Shun'an Prefecture. If such a battle can force Isn’t it ridiculous that I have to escape? Just right! I want to see what it is like for a Juren who has received favor from the emperor but leads a group of foolish men and women to cause trouble!"
After saying that, he turned around and strode outside.
"Sir, you really can't just go out and take risks. There are still people gathering here... Duan Xiuwen, the leader, wants to change the Water Temple into the Locust God Temple. Why don't you let us comfort you first? You still..." Li Zheng was afraid of Qi Hongxin, the prefect, had something happen here, so he followed him out of the main hall and tried to persuade him as he walked.
Qi Hongxin suddenly stopped, but it was not because he was persuaded by his words, but because a school captain came in with his boots on the soft mud and saluted Qi Hongxin: "I pay my respects to the magistrate, the county camp. Already dispersed, the Lord Lieutenant hurriedly ordered his troops and asked us to catch up first and obey his orders."
When the soldiers finally arrived, Qi Hong felt relieved and asked: "How many of you are there?"
"One hundred people are all the best in the army."
"One hundred people are enough." Qi Hongxin smiled ferociously and turned to look at the side hall where someone had opened the door. Soldiers were pouring into the courtyard, holding torches. Even though it was night, it was very bright. He knew that I saw the ugly and ferocious statue of the locust god in the side hall.
Although it is not accurate to use beauty and ugliness to judge whether a god statue is good or bad and whether it is a wild god, but neither the previous dynasty nor this dynasty canonized a god like the Locust God, and he was portrayed as a pest that harmed both parties. How do you think about this god? Not pleasing to the eye.
Qi Hongxin sneered: "Of course the water temple is across the border, but locusts are wild gods, how dare they ask for a temple?"
"Didn't that article of revision want to change the Water Temple into the Locust God Temple? Then let him come to see me!"
"This..." Satozheng hesitated.
"Tell him that if he can convince me, I will grant his request. If not..." Qi Hongxin's eyes, which seemed darker and darker because of his thinness, flashed with murderous intent.
Li Zheng hurriedly responded, went out and raised his voice to calm down the noisy people, and told Duan Xiuwen Qi Hongxin's request.
Duan Xiuwen is a young man who looks to be less than thirty years old. He was able to pass the imperial examination in his twenties, which is already extraordinary for ordinary scholars.
His appearance is a bit thin, and he has a refined air. In addition, he has a good reputation, so even if he cannot pass the Jinshi examination, it is not difficult to become a country squire and marry a daughter of an official family.
In Li Zheng's opinion, the only shortcoming of this man was probably that he was stupid at studying. He didn't want to study hard to get into the imperial examination or live his own life, but got involved in this kind of thing.
But at this juncture, with his upright status, he might not be able to persuade him even if he wanted to. I was thinking that maybe Duan Xiuwen could be persuaded to change his mind if he met the prefect.
After hearing what Li Zheng conveyed, Duan Xiuwen sneered: "Okay! In that case, on behalf of the villagers, I will go and pay homage to Magistrate Qi! I have long heard that Magistrate Qi is a good official who cares about the people. I believe that as long as The prefect knows that this is the wish of all our people, and he will definitely help it come true!"
With that said, he walked out of the crowd with a victorious look.
At this time, Qi Hongxin, accompanied by soldiers holding torches and a school captain in armor, walked out of the water temple, stood on the steps, and watched the young scholar walking towards him.
At this time, Duan Xiuwen also saw a thin black man in official uniform and a dozen heavily armed soldiers. He knew that this was the new prefect Qi. At first, he was a little scared subconsciously, but when he thought that there were people coming forward behind him, he I came here for the Locust God Temple. I have the support of the people and the blessing of the gods. There is no need to be afraid of a prefect.
Since the new prefect arrived here overnight and saw their formation of thousands of people, he must have been frightened, but if he did not want civil unrest within his jurisdiction, he would agree to his request.
From the perspective of this revision, he is neither plotting rebellion nor attacking the government, and his demands are very reasonable. It is not an embarrassment at all. It is just to change all the water temples in Shun'an Prefecture into locust god temples, and it can have What is difficult to do?
With this thought, Duan Xiuwen raised his hand to Qi Hongxin in a neither humble nor condescending manner: "Student Duan Xiuwen, I have met the prefect."
"Duan Xiuwen?" Qi Hongxin looked at him with a cold expression and asked, "Are you a judge?"
Duan Xiuwen replied: "Yes, the student is the candidate who passed the exam last year."
"Since you are a judge, you should know that it is a serious crime to take the lead in making trouble and intimidating the government. Could it be that you have studied hard for more than ten years just to be convicted of this matter today?"
However, Duan Xiuwen was dissatisfied and defended: "What you said is wrong! Duan Xiuwen studied hard in a cold window, so that one day he can obtain fame, make decisions for the people, benefit the country, and be a good official!"
"But the government is now killing locusts and letting the people suffer for the sake of fame. Little do they know that if they kill the locusts, they will offend the locust god. You officials, you don't have to go to the fields to farm on weekdays, so you have nothing to fear. But The people have offended the Locust God and will lose their harvest every year, which will cost them their lives!"
"Sir, please take back your order, promise to the students, and promise to the people behind the students that Shun'an Mansion will no longer kill locusts! You must also order that the Water Temple be changed into the Locust God Temple, and the people are allowed to worship the Locust God! As long as you agree to this With two conditions, we will disperse immediately and we will not embarrass the government!"
