In addition to Li Jincheng and the changes in the attitudes of outsiders in the village, Hu Dingyong was not idle either.
After bringing the army back to the camp that day, he went to Lijiacun alone to investigate the truth.
Unfortunately, when he arrived at Lijia Village, Zhao Lei was already in retreat.
Unable to contact Zhao Lei, he had no choice but to continue observing the situation in the village.
Go to the inn in Xuanyang City to stay overnight.
Return to Lijiacun in the morning to continue observation.
Fortunately, he didn't gain anything.
He saw that the villagers in Lijia Village were all living in an orderly manner. There are fixed working hours, fixed class times, and fixed meal times, all allocated appropriately.
And he also learned that these were arranged and distributed by Zhao Lei himself.
This made him secretly amazed.
His understanding of Zhao Lei has reached a new level. He is sure that Zhao Lei's intelligence is very high, and is not comparable to the monsters he has seen before.
No, don't call it a monster.
Even some of the court officials he knew, or even himself, could not distribute the lives of four to five hundred people in an orderly manner.
In addition, he also took the time to see the construction ordered by the tiger demon.
Overturned cars, ditches, pig sheds, etc.
Some small parts and construction details amazed him even more after the villagers introduced their functions to him.
I lament that Zhao Lei's IQ can no longer be described simply as high or low.
I secretly gave Zhao Lei a position in my heart. Even if he is not a god, he must be a wise man!
After watching the construction, he began to observe the lives of the villagers.
Although everyone seemed very busy, with watering, firewood cutting, construction, and classes to attend, Hu Dingyong could still feel the indescribable sense of happiness from the villagers.
Everyone has a smile on their face.
This made him feel sad and ashamed again.
Throughout the entire Chechi Kingdom, he had never seen anywhere where the people lived so happily.
The corruption of the imperial court, the inaction of the government, all kinds of corrupt officials, the oppression of powerful gangs and families, taxation, corvee labor, horse thieves, and so on, all the low-level people in the Chechi Kingdom are struggling to breathe, and they are laughing if they can survive. , where is there any happiness to speak of?
On the contrary, what about the tiger demon?
Lijia Village has only been under the management of the other party for less than a month, and there have been such big changes.
Someone (Li Ergou) even took the initiative to invite people to build a brand new residence for the tiger demon in order to express his gratitude to the tiger demon. He said that he wanted to give the tiger demon a surprise after he came out of seclusion.
He has never seen any court official or emperor who was so loved by the people!
If you tell him, why don't he, a latecomer, feel ashamed?
After seeing the construction and the life of the villagers, in order to better understand Zhao Lei, Hu Dingyong began to inquire about Zhao Lei.
Finally, he traced it back to the source, Cuihua and Yangyang.
After some questioning, I learned that after Tiger King rescued Cuihua and Yangyang, he originally wanted to take them back to the village. But because the two women were afraid that the Tiger King would harm the people in the village, they refused to lead the way for the Tiger King.
In the end, the Tiger King had no choice but to take the two girls back to his cave.
Later, the Tiger King forced the two girls to read and read, and told the two girls that he preferred to eat scholars. Then the news that the Tiger King liked to eat scholars came from this.
But what can be confirmed is that the Tiger King, including the Deer King and the Sheep King, have never eaten a single person until now.
Moreover, the Tiger King once told everyone that as long as they were obedient, he would not eat them.
Some people speculate that maybe this is just a stopgap measure for King Tiger.
I say this just to make them become readers as soon as possible before they start talking.
So now the villagers' attitude towards the Tiger King is that they are grateful to the Tiger King, but they are also afraid that one day they will wake up from their dreams and the Tiger King will start eating them.
…
After learning the relevant information about Zhao Lei and seeing with his own eyes how helpful White Deer and Black Sheep were, Hu Dingyong concluded that what the villagers said was true.
In the following time, with nothing to do, he began to attend classes and study with the villagers.
It was rare for a villager from outside the village to come. In order to show off in front of Hu Dingyong, many villagers would show off the knowledge and principles they learned from Zhao Lei in front of Hu Dingyong from time to time.
This made Hu Dingyong even more surprised.
Not to mention the improved simplified Chinese characters, even the various insights in the book were something he had never heard of.
What's even more frightening is that he actually feels that the tiger demon's views are more reasonable than the so-called Master's explanations.
In his mind, Zhao Lei's status as a wise man continued to deepen.
In this way, the days passed day by day.
Time quickly came to noon three days later.
On this day, he came to Lijiacun to attend class as always.
However, he did not intend to go to class today. Instead, he planned to find Li Jincheng after class and discuss Li Jincheng's views on the tiger demon with Li Jincheng.
After all, apart from Cuihua and Yangyang, the person who has been in contact with the tiger demon for the longest time is Li Jincheng.
Soon, the noon class ended.
The villagers still came to Hu Dingyong enthusiastically to show off.
Among them, there are many old men and grandmothers.
"How's it going? Is there anything you don't understand in today's class? If you don't understand, just tell me. Your Majesty said, I'm a top student!"
"Hey, young man, it's a pity. The king is not here these days, otherwise you will see how far the gap between the king and Jincheng is."
"That's right, I can't do it~ The teachings are serious and hard to understand."
"Indeed, I can't do it~"
Seeing these two old-fashioned rural old men and grandmothers comparing their knowledge in front of him, Hu Dingyong couldn't help but feel furious.
But the most hateful thing is that these old men and grandmothers are really better at learning than him.
This made him want to find a hole in the ground and crawl into it.
Fortunately, he was not the one who was most embarrassed.
But it is Li Jincheng who is standing behind these old men and grandmothers now. Everyone said this in front of each other without any scruples.
Moreover, the other party seems to be used to it.
Not even a rebuttal.
After finally getting rid of the group of old academics, Hu Dingyong walked up to Li Jincheng and said, "I'm sorry. I guess everyone is just judging the matter based on the matter. Don't take it to heart."
Li Jincheng paused.
Can you speak?
If you can't speak, don't speak.
But he quickly regained his composure: "It's okay, your Majesty is indeed more knowledgeable than Jin Cheng."
"I heard that, besides Cuihua and Yangyang, you were the first person to come into contact with the king. What do you think of the king?"
Li Jincheng frowned slightly, then looked up at the sky: "So far, Jincheng doesn't know what the king wants. But Jincheng knows that as long as he can follow the king and learn from the king's knowledge, he will definitely benefit the people in the future! So no matter what No matter how difficult it is, I won’t give up after entering Chengdu!”
Hu Dingyong was stunned.
Unexpectedly, Li Jincheng is still such an ideal young man.
A few years earlier, when the gang was very ambitious, he might have invited Li Jincheng to join the gang on the spot.
Unfortunately, there is no if.
He patted Li Jincheng on the shoulder. It was a pity that Li Jincheng, a good young man, was born in such an era.
"Thanks a lot."
Li Jincheng suddenly turned his head and looked at him seriously: "As the saying goes, Confucius said it was benevolence, and Mencius said it was justice! It is Jincheng's duty to benefit the people, so how can it be said that it is hard work?"
At this moment, someone in the distance suddenly shouted: "The king has come out of seclusion! The king has come out of seclusion!"
However, before everyone could react, someone in the forest shouted: "It's not good! It's not good! There are monsters on the other side of the river! Many villagers have been injured!!"
