"Oh, don't talk nonsense."
"Why did the fox talk? Can the fox talk? It's so funny that it breaks people's stomachs."
A woman was holding her belly with a cheerful smile on her face.
There are many people washing clothes by the river, and they often wash and talk together, so they don't have so many worries.
Who has something to say or news who doesn’t share it with others?
There are probably no miscellaneous people in this world who are more informed than these women.
A woman squatting next to her silently lowered her head and kept beating the clothes in her hands, but the expression on her face did not change at all.
It was as if she wasn't listening to what others were saying and was only concerned with doing the laundry.
A woman next to her raised her head, a look of curiosity flashed across her face. When she was about to ask, the woman next to her who kept her head down pulled her.
The little lady was startled, then lowered her head and did not dare to speak.
After a while, when everyone had washed their clothes and left, the two women walked towards the house together.
The younger woman on the road asked, "Brother and sister-in-law, why are you pulling me?"
The older woman glanced furtively at the person still talking by the river, and sneered: "That thing has always been a woman with a long tongue."
"You dare to say such nonsense?"
She sighed, looked at the young lady and said, "I've also heard about the fox talking."
"It's nothing. It sounds like God wants His Majesty to implement some kind of enfeoffment system. It seems that the governor is replaced by the king."
"Just like the King of Qin before our Qin Dynasty, he divided the world into several large areas."
The young lady was a little surprised: "Brother and sister-in-law, what can't you say?"
The woman looked at the young lady with a look of disdain: "Is there anything you can't say? Do you think life is better now, or after the enfeoffment?"
Seeing that the young lady fell into silence, the woman said seriously: "You haven't experienced that time, you don't know."
"It's only been three years since the world has been together. When I was young, it was still a time of war."
She raised her head and looked into the distance, seemingly lost in long memories.
"The world was in chaos at that time, and my mother and I couldn't even get enough to eat."
"This is because our King of Qin is all good and didn't take away our money."
"Do you know how miserable people live in other places?"
There was sadness in her eyes: "You also know that I am not originally from Qin. I escaped from Zhao."
"Zhao and Qin have a deep hatred. If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't survive elsewhere, how could I have escaped here?"
She lowered her head and looked at her feet: "Actually, my mother was also fleeing with me, but she died on the way."
"So, Cuizhi, that enfeoffment of Lao Shizi is really not a good thing."
"We are just talking nonsense. What if, while we are talking, others believe that this is a letter from God, and then want His Majesty to divide it?"
"For those high-ranking officials, there must be no difference."
"But what about us?"
She looked at Cuizhi and said, "We finally lived a good life, do we have to go back?"
"Sister-in-law has also read a few books and knows a few words. If you trust her, just listen to her. If they say such things again in the future, you can just leave."
She pointed to a few women standing up by the river in the distance: "How many stupid people are there in this village?"
"Look, everyone is gone except that stupid ass!"
Cuizhi turned around and saw that all the people by the river had left, leaving only the person who wanted to tell the "fox" rumor squatting there, looking lonely.
"I'll listen to you."
Cuizhi turned around and put on her clothes
Fu and his sister-in-law went back together.
And the world is not just here in Bajun.
With some merchants traveling around, the rumors of this fox have spread all over the world.
It's just that the reactions are different in different places, or in other words, the anger is different.
Therefore, several counties in Zhaodi
The Guizhou leaders who were busy in the fields sat under the trees, chatted, and rubbed their hands from time to time.
In the middle of winter, if they hadn't been given some grain seeds that could grow at this time, they really couldn't rest assured that they wouldn't be in the ground at this time.
An honest-looking man let out a sigh of relief: "I'm just saying, why are you guys joining in the fun?"
"Do the ladies in your family want you to grow this thing?"
Chen Ergou looked at the man and curled his lips: "You think you are the only one in charge of your family? Our ladies can't control me."
He looked at the vast white land outside, with a pair of simple eyes filled with simplicity.
"That girl in my family said that Governor Chen and His Majesty will definitely not trick us."
"This thing must be real."
"Although life is getting better now and I can afford to eat, so the whole family won't go hungry."
"But who would dislike having a lot of food at home?"
He scratched his head honestly: "So I definitely want to plant it."
A few people were talking, and an old man carrying something came slowly from a distance, with a smile on his face.
Several people saw this with curiosity on their faces: "Hey, Old Man Li, why are you here at this time?"
"Is there something new?"
This old man is a traveling trader from several nearby villages. He usually makes a living by selling some things. The several surrounding villages take care of each other with him, which can be regarded as a somewhat incestuous relationship.
Old Man Li wiped the sweat from his forehead, with a sneaky look on his face.
He looked left and right, and then said cautiously: "I came here to tell you something. When you go back, please tell the ladies at home."
These words aroused the curiosity of several people: "What's wrong, Old Man Li?"
Old Man Li sighed: "I don't know what's going on recently, but there are a few human-looking things that don't care about others."
"The people who have been leading them are looking for you everywhere."
He curled his lips and said, "It is said that there is a fox from Ba County who can speak human language. He also said that the fox said something like, 'The world is divided, and the kings of each place are divided. The counties are in chaos, and they are divided and settled.'" "
A few farm men didn't understand. They scratched their heads and looked at Old Man Li: "Old Man Li, what do you mean?"
Old Man Li didn't say anything, but pointed to the bare ground and said, "Did our people here have such a good life before?"
"Can we have land to plant crops and food to eat?"
Several people shook their heads instantly.
Old Man Li said again: "Now, if you were asked to return to King Zhao, would you be willing?"
Several people's heads turned into rattles in an instant, and one of them even said angrily: "Is there another Zhao thief?"
"We have connections in several villages. Now I'm going to say hello and tie up those people and hand them over to the government!"
Old Man Li looked at several people with a kind smile on his face: "There is no Zhao thief."
He said quietly: "Someone wants to implement enfeoffment..."
Enfeoffment?
When Old Man Li saw that a few people didn't understand, he immediately spoke more clearly and simply: "In the past, there were kings everywhere because of enfeoffment."
"To enfeoff is to send another person to be the king. From now on, we will no longer be under the control of His Majesty, but will be under the control of the future King Zhao!"
As soon as these words came out, those people stood up instantly, with panic on their faces.
"How can we deal with that? I still want His Majesty."
"That's right, Your Majesty is so good now. Not only do we no longer have to fight, but we can also have enough to eat."
"If it weren't for Your Majesty, I wouldn't even be able to get my mother-in-law."
Old Man Li looked at these men, narrowed his eyes and said, "We don't need to worry about it, the county guards will take care of it."
"As long as we don't spread any random news."
"If anyone comes to your village and complains about the mess, you should find someone to tie them up and hand them over to the county governor's house."
"The current county governor is a good man, he will definitely take care of it!"
"Besides, even if the county magistrate doesn't care, isn't there still the general judge?"
"If no one really cares, we will tie up people and go to Hedong. I heard that the county guard over there is Governor Chen's apprentice!"
Several men looked at each other and nodded.
This matter is a big deal and must be kept in mind.
Old Man Li said again: "You go back and talk to your mothers-in-law. They are all very well-informed. If anyone talks nonsense, remember to ask them to tell you."
"Mother-in-laws always like to play tricks on those whose parents are short-lived."
Several men nodded again. Old Man Li smiled when he saw this, and then stood up unsteadily with the burden on his body.
"Then I won't stay any longer. There are still a few villages I haven't visited yet."
"Our life has finally gotten better. If anyone dares to let us continue to be hungry, we won't be able to make him feel better even if we die!"
With these sonorous and powerful words, Old Man Li slowly walked away into the distance carrying his burden.
There was some muddy ground under his feet, and there were some snowflakes floating in the sky, but the snowflakes were not very big and would not hinder the footsteps of pedestrians.
A lonely figure walked slowly in the field.

Penglaizhou, Linzi County
"bump!"
Ying Ku slapped the table with an angry look, and said with anger on his face: "What kind of ecstasy soup did Chen Ke fill them with?"
"No one wants to come to the banquet?"
Yesterday, he sent letters to several officials in Penglaizhou, inviting them to a banquet. He didn't even mention the reason for the banquet.
However, no matter whether it was the commanders of several departments, the county guards from various places, or even some county magistrates and county lieutenants, they all refused directly.
He said that the governor had an order not to leave his post without permission, so he could not attend the banquet.
How could Ying Ku not see that this was a perfunctory excuse, but what could he say?
At this time, he couldn't say anything.
He pressed his forehead, while Ying Luan beside him sneered: "What kind of *** did you drink?"
"I told you a long time ago that there is no need to move here in Peng Laizhou."
"Chen Ke has only been here for a year. Which of the major officials in Penglai Island has he not single-handedly brought up?"
"Manufacturing Department? Municipal Materials Department? Or that Publishing Department?"
"The people you invited are either Chen Ke's direct disciples or Chen Ke's confidants. How could they come?"
"We'll just watch people from other counties take action."
"I see those people are coming to Peng. When the time comes, do these people still want to control the rumors among the people?"
There was a bit of evil in the corners of Ying Luan's mouth.
"If they want to control, they can only restrict people's speech, but how can they restrict it?"
"Humans are rebellious."
"The more you don't want them to do something, the more they will do it."
"The less you want them to talk, the more they'll talk in private."
"Unless you kill someone."
"But after killing people, will Chen Ke spare them? Will those Guizhou leaders still be like this?"
Ying Ku turned around, looked at Ying Lun and said, "What if they don't pass it on?"
Yinglun smiled slightly: "Is the person we are looking for a job? This is not a big deal. If it is directly aimed at Chen Ke or
Your Majesty, they will react. "
"But some specious rumors can be spread to make them feel that they are not targeting the person in their hearts."
"They will naturally feel relieved."
"But what these stupid people don't know is that some of the words they think are okay are just a knife stuck in their hearts."
"People are always stupid and easily provoked."
"No matter what time it is."
"For their own selfish interests, they will waste time on right and wrong and waste on human ethics."
"When their emotions reach a certain level, with just a little provocation, they will become like a flood and attack the place that originally protected them."
"And when that place gets washed away, they start to get scared."
"But the way they are afraid is to strike and rebuke the places that were meant to protect them, but were destroyed by them."
"Because they dare not admit that it was their fault."
Yinglun smiled, placed the chess pieces in front of him somewhere, and said with a magnanimous expression, "This is the principle of the game."
"Look, the chess piece has now fallen on it."
"The chess game has changed."
...........
Zhangtai Palace
A chess piece landed on the chessboard, making a crisp sound.
The person playing the game with Ying Zheng was Chen Ke. Chen Ke smiled and placed the chess piece in his hand in a certain position.
The two were playing chess and talking.
"Your Majesty, look."
"When this chess piece lands here, it's like it changes the entire situation."
"But that's not the case."
Chen Ke said leisurely: "In the chess game, the most important thing is not the decision of the "Hand of God". "
"Sometimes, the "hand of God" can change the entire chess game. This is correct. "
"But most of the time, it's impossible for humans to unleash God's hand."
Ying Zheng also had a smile on his lips: "Yes."
"The final victory is decided one by one, like here."
Ying Zheng slightly rolled up his sleeves, then pointed to the chess pieces in the distance and said, "Look, these chess pieces have been connected together to form a climate."
"Even if he drops the chess piece here, it will be cut off by this life-long chess piece."
"This is a game."
