Quanzhen Little Daoist starts

Chapter 258 The World Is White
and so……

If the "heaven" of the big men is broken, and their own "yellow sky" cannot be erected...

In the future, it is estimated that he will rely on others, but he has never experienced it, so it is not good to say.

Zhang Jiao never told him how to establish "Huang Tian", but every time he mentioned this matter, he always looked confident, and Qiu Zhiqing chose to believe him.

Now thinking about his own narrative, he should have traveled to many worlds, but he has basically never succeeded. I don't know where his confidence comes from?
Regardless of Zhang Jiao's thoughts, Qiu Zhiqing still prefers his own way.

Before he has no strength, it is better to maintain the "heaven" of the big man, not to mention the small risk, as long as his high-yield crops can be continuously improved.

Then they will have plenty of time to transform this so-called "heaven"!
……

Qiu Zhiqing dragged a large cart of food into the Sheriff's Mansion, but Xu Rong was still looking at Liu Hong's reply repeatedly.

It's like trying to figure out something from it.

Qiu Zhiqing ignored him and followed the cart straight to the warehouse behind.

He also wanted to see how these more promising grains were different!
An hour later, when Qiu Zhiqing reappeared in the lobby of the Sheriff's Mansion, he found that Xu Rong hadn't left yet, but was sitting on the guest seat, thinking about something.

Seeing Qiu Zhiqing coming out from the backyard, Xu Rong quickly raised his head, looked at Qiu Zhiqing seriously and said:

"Brother Chong, brother just now figured it out, we really can't have people from the Shaofu, these master craftsmen! But we can't let them go!"

A smile flashed in the corner of Qiu Zhiqing's eyes, he kept walking, and said in his mouth:
"Oh? Brother Xu, what's your opinion? Let's hear it!"

At this moment, Qiu Zhiqing was not joking, but really wanted to know how he would deal with it.

After all, Xu Rong is still much more familiar with some operations in the court than he is. Maybe he has a different opinion, maybe?

"We should tell Your Majesty that in order to deal with the Xianbei invaders, armor craftsmen who know how to repair swords are still needed.

However, I don't need the master craftsmen of the Shaofu at all. I only need some with relatively ordinary craftsmanship to meet my needs, otherwise it would be a waste to have too many! "

A trace of surprise flashed in Qiu Zhiqing's eyes, this guy is really not ordinary cunning.

It's no wonder that Sun Jian, who was able to live and die in Xiliang several times later, suffered a big loss.

For correct suggestions, Qiu Zhiqing has always been generous with praise, nodded in agreement and said:

"Brother Xu is so insightful, I admire it! If that's the case, then I'll thank you, Brother Xu, to draft the memorial. When the time comes, you and I, brothers, can directly sign and submit it!"

Xu Rong was also impolite, and ordered the guards on the spot to bring the memorial, and then began to write.

Qiu Zhiqing looked at it, feeling very happy in his heart, what does this mean?
This shows: the first year of Guanghe (the eighth year), the end of June!
After he arrived in Yanmen County, nearly three months later, he finally stabilized the interior, suppressed the assassins, and established authority at the same time!

Next, you can enter the governance phase!

……

After signing his name on Xu Rong's memorial and using his seal again, Xu Rong didn't wait for Qiu Zhiqing to say anything, he asked Qiu Zhiqing to stop, and he walked out of the county guard's mansion with a calm pace and strides.

While taking over the reins of his war horse from the guard, Xu Rong turned his head and glanced at the slightly downcast Sheriff's Mansion.

A smile flashed in his eyes, the smile was very sincere, and there was a trace of joy...

Life in this world is nothing more than a choice. Since it is a choice, it is nothing more than two kinds of good and bad. At least for now, he is very satisfied!
Xu Rong jumped on the horse lightly, and went to find someone to deliver the memorial...

Xu Rong was laughing, and Qiu Zhiqing was also laughing. Naturally, he would not treat people as fools, he would only put choices in front of others!

And he believes that as long as he is a normal person, he will not choose wrong!

……

Now, in the entire outer city of Pingcheng, houses are rising from the ground, towers of the outer city stand tall, and the city walls of the outer city are also beginning to take shape.

On the tall wooden frame, a huge stone pier weighing thousands of catties was slowly pulled up. The use of pulley blocks was used on a large scale in ancient China.

Naturally, he couldn't be absent at this moment. The stone pier weighing thousands of catties was slowly lifted up by the four of them with little effort.

Then the people below started debugging and fell asleep: "Let go!"

Those who drag the stone pier, let go immediately...

"Bang~~"

The hard and heavy stone pier collided with the rammed earth that had been hammered many times, making a dull sound, and a circle of ripples formed rapidly at the same time as the impact, spreading to the surroundings.

Xu Rong, who was watching the construction scene in the distance with Qiu Zhiqing on the tower, couldn't help feeling:
"These people, after practicing that simple breathing method, are no worse than cattle. No wonder it was so difficult to popularize farm cattle from the grassland before!"

This is what popularized farming cattle before making fun of Qiu Zhiqing.

He also heard it from hearsay. He heard that Qiu Zhiqing fought Xianbei not long after he took office.

After a big victory, they captured countless cattle, sheep and horses!
Speaking of this, Qiu Zhiqing wanted to complain, these people's level of bragging is not bad at all, it is obvious that there are only three to five thousand in total, and you have to say that there are countless cattle, sheep and horses...

It's like a monthly salary of [-]. When people ask about it, they always ask first, it's less than [-]!

There was no market at that time, so Qiu Zhiqing built a wool spinning machine for those sheep, and now there are special people in charge of those sheep.

And those cattle were leased out by Qiu Zhiqing as the property of the government.

It was okay at the beginning, but then no one used it. Those who belong to officials are naturally happy and leisurely.

But this made Qiu Zhiqing a little depressed, so he asked Zheng Yan to do a public opinion survey, which of course was not as detailed as the later generations.

In the end, first of all, everyone had many reasons, such as a big temper, disobedience, etc. Qiu Zhiqing could understand all of these.

However, the common reason mentioned the most is that the cows eat a lot, but when it comes to work, they can't pull the plow as fast as they do!

What is this reason, how can you compare with a cow?
No, how can you do better than a cow?
It turned out that Qiu Zhiqing's breathing method passed on to the villagers in order to let them come out to work in winter worked.

The aura of heaven and earth is already strong here, so if you want to cultivate to a certain level, you may need to keep polishing.

But Qiu Zhiqing's breathing method was originally used in conjunction with Qi and blood training, that is to say, the more they worked, the faster their strength increased.

Over time, the farm cattle that were rented by others at the beginning have reached the point where no one cares about them.

Qiu Zhiqing couldn't help but smile bitterly about this.

In the end, I could only put nose rings on the cows to make them behave, which made them more popular!
Speaking of which, the breathing method Qiu Zhiqing gave them may be more edible at the beginning, after all, it is in conjunction with the cultivation of qi and blood.

But later on, when the practice becomes natural and you don't need to maintain it deliberately, you will actually eat a lot less.

Because they will inadvertently increase the absorption and utilization of spiritual energy.

Therefore, some people will say that the cattle eat more than him and do less than him.

As for later, it is natural to discover that the cows wearing the cow nose rings are much more obedient. At the same time, with the help of the cows, one cow can plow the land.

If there is no ox, then two people will be required, and one person will be the ox. It is really stronger than animals!
"Speaking of which, the Mohists are still good at building the city. I heard that they are good at defending the city. The city they built matches their method of defending the city.
It is the most difficult to conquer, because the Mohists' methods of building and defending the city are regarded as the standard by the world. This is why there is a saying of "sticking to the rules". Is it true? "

After finishing speaking, Qiu Zhiqing looked at Xu Rong, wanting to see what his answer would be.

Xu Rong looked into the distance silently. This is the outer city wall that is under construction, and he has a design credit for it.

As if remembering something, after a while, he sighed faintly.

A soothing voice, accompanied by the slight cool summer breeze, rang in Qiu Zhiqing's ears: "Are you stuck in the rut? It's a pity that the times are always developing,

When more powerful weapons of war appeared, the Mohist's method of building and defending the city was no longer applicable to the new battlefield.

And those who think they have the core technology of the Mohist still regard the experience of the Mohist thousands of years ago as the standard,

This also led to the word 'rule' behind the word 'conformity', from the original standard to a decadent stubbornness..."

Looking at the outer city in the distance, city towers, urns, Qianjin gates, horse faces, trenches, formations, and other new and old things appear one by one on the outer city walls.

Xu Rong was silent for a moment, and said firmly: "Mohists, there has never been, and there should be no 'rules'. It has always been adapted to local conditions, different from person to person, and from time to time!"

Having said this, Xu Rongguang turned his head to look at Qiu Zhiqing seriously, and said word by word:

"But those who really stick to the rules are those who are high above and talk about it every day!"

When he finished saying this sentence, his whole body was filled with zhenqi, his eyes were shining brightly, his eyes were piercing, and his power was frightening, and the cyan zhenqi lingered around him!

Every time it circles around, the true energy will be a little less, a little more solid, and the color will be a little darker.

Until the end, true energy is like ink, pitch black, yet soft and bright...

Not long after, the zhenqi was suddenly restrained, and the whole person seemed to be completely reborn compared to before. The long waist that had some signs of rickety became proud and straight.

A gentle breeze blew his clothes and disturbed his hair, but Qiu Zhiqing knew that his heart... had calmed down!
"Congratulations, brother Xu, after being in a cage for a long time, it's unnatural again!"

Xu Rong smiled, and responded: "Chong and the real person have gone wrong!"

Qiu Zhiqing didn't refute. He felt the cool summer breeze, put his hands in his sleeves, and observed the movement of the outer city happily, and replied indifferently: "Oh? I would like to hear more about it!"

Xu Rong stretched out his hands and looked up at the cloudless sky.

At this time, the sun deflected, and the shadow of the city tower just covered the two of them!

At this moment, Xu Rong opened his mouth and said something that was appropriate for the occasion: "The world is all white! I am the only one who is black!"

Qiu Zhiqing didn't say a word, the city tower fell into silence for a while, the wind... seemed to be much stronger, and the big banner with the word "Han" on the city wall was blown loudly.

Even the dust on the city wall wants to soar into the sky when the strong wind blows and embrace the sky, not asking for eternity, but only for having once had...

On the top of the city, a person folded his hands in his sleeves, lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, as if he had fallen asleep.

One person looked into the distance with his head held high and his hands behind his back, while the two fell into silence as if they were intoxicated in their own world.

The sun was westward, at this time a few black clouds fringed with golden light suddenly floated in the sky, Qiu Zhiqing felt it for a moment.

He took the lead and said: "Brother Xu, I'm afraid the heavy rain will fall, so I will leave this side to Brother Xu. I will go back first."

The rain came in a timely manner. At this time, it was time for everyone to dry their food. At this time of the year, it almost always happened.

It seems that food that has not been soaked in water is not considered good food.

As for Xu Rong's identity, in fact, Qiu Zhiqing had been a little guessing before, because this guy's behavior was indeed a little different.

If it was Qiu Zhiqing who never cared about his own salary and just had enough to eat.

Xu Rong is just the opposite. He cares about his salary very much, but he doesn't care about his salary very much.

Why do you say that?

He cared a lot because every time he received his salary, he was very active, but after taking it back, he didn't save it for himself, but after leaving rations for himself.

So he distributed the food to some poor people in his eyes, those who couldn't afford to eat!

Listen to what he says, watch what he does!

This has always been one of Qiu Zhiqing's criteria for judging people.

And Xu Rong's method is exactly in line with the Mohism's love and mutual benefit for its disciples!

this code of conduct.

It's just that Xu Rong always hides his identity intentionally or unintentionally because Confucianism suppresses Mohism the most, and abandons some traditions.

Such as clothes, and shoes!

He did not come according to the regulations. According to the regulations, he was not allowed to wear fancy clothes or shoes!

Yes, you heard that right, in Qiu Zhiqing's memory, he was not allowed to wear shoes...

But this shouldn't affect it. It stands to reason that Quanzhen Taoist priests can't drink alcohol. Although Qiu Zhiqing doesn't usually drink, he sometimes breaks the precept.

For example, when they were entertained by guys like Zhao Xu and Zhao Yun, they drank a lot.

He remembered the first time he broke the precept to drink, it seemed that Hong Qigong invited him to drink, saying that it was a tribute in the imperial city...

Now that I think about it, it seems like it was many years ago.

However, the times have changed, and Qiu Zhiqing didn't realize that he violated some regulations. It was a big deal, and he himself just obeyed subconsciously.

In essence, there is any fear or fear of violating the religious rules.

This may have something to do with him, who has never been punished by the canon.

Therefore, Xu Rong insisted on implementing the regulations that he thought were right, and abandoned some regulations that he thought were unimportant, or almost out of date.

Qiu Zhiqing agrees very much, as Xu Rong himself said:

"Mohist, there has never been, and there should be no 'rules'. It has always been adapted to local conditions, different from person to person, and from time to time!"

He was looking for change and the way, but he had gone astray before, couldn't see the goal, was a little tired, and wanted to take a rest...
