"What are you afraid of? My lord is giving you a chance to be a critical minister."

"A villain can't be that admonishing minister..."

"If you can't do it, you have to do it. In addition, you can improve this idea and bring it up in the discussion." Lin Bei said decisively.

Bian Ji was silent for a long time, then quietly said: "My lord, can I let the students look back at Haicheng?"

"What's the matter? Are you unhappy staying by my lord's side?"

"No..." Bian Ji grimaced, thinking that it would be strange if he didn't, and he, a close minister, should be the first to do everything.

"Don't make a sad face. This is a good thing that will benefit in the present age and benefit in the future. When we mention this welfare system in the future, the common people will be grateful to you, Bian Ji. Think about thousands of years and tens of thousands of years, there will still be you Bian Ji." Ji's spirit is floating in the universe, what a sight it is."

Bian Ji could only cough.

"The students have seen Lord Heshen and this Lord Bian." A voice sounded from the side again.

Bian Ji and Lin Bei took a look, and it was a coincidence that it was that middle-aged man and that boy again.

The eyes of Lin Bei and Bian Ji fell on the young man's hand at the same time. At this time, the young man was no longer carrying a medicine bag, but a jug of wine.

Seeing the jug of wine, Bian Ji was furious and shouted, "You are using the money and things given to you to buy wine? How old are you? How dare you drink alcohol? Have you reached the legal age?"

Lin Bei was speechless: "Master, you have traveled through time, the lines are wrong..."

Well, in fact, Bian Ji didn't say that, but looked at the two with vigilance in his eyes: "Who are you two? Why are you following Lord River God? What is your intention?"

"The student and my nephew were passing by here just now, and they happened to hear Lord River God's brilliant remarks. They were so sublime, and they stopped on the spur of the moment, not following them." The middle-aged man was calm and composed, not at all because of stealing Listening to other people's conversation and feel that something is wrong.

Lin Bei just nodded, his eyes still resting on the jug of wine.

"Students are a little confused. I wonder if Lord River God can explain it?" The middle-aged man said with a smile.

"tell me the story."

"My lord said that this welfare system is a system established to provide life security for special groups such as the elderly, orphans, and disabled people who are living in difficulties. Is that what you said?" The middle-aged man read it slowly.

"Well, your memory is pretty good." Lin Bei nodded.

"Students don't doubt the heart of an adult, but now that the Central Plains is in chaos, the common people are displaced, and cannibalism occurs in various states. The state and county governments can't even provide relief money and food, and even the young and strong will starve to death. What's more Even if Xiangyang is rich and prosperous, there are a lot of these...specially difficult groups from the perspective of students. It is not easy for a city to afford this task. Dare I ask you, have you ever thought about it? , if the refugees from all the prefectures hear about this and come to Xiangyang, how will Lord River God deal with these refugees? Like students, can the adults give ten gold to each of them?"

Bian Ji couldn't help but said: "You also know that the lord gave you ten gold? You don't want to make a living, but use it to buy wine and drink. You are called a scholar in vain."

The middle-aged man ignored Bian Ji's words, instead he took the flagon from the young man's hand and took a big gulp, "Please ask Lord River God to clarify..."

Lin Bei looked at the middle-aged man, then at the young man next to him, then at the sprinkler, and suddenly chuckled, "Guess!"

"Ahem..." The middle-aged man was choked by Lin Bei's astonishing words, and the alcohol entered his trachea. The cough made him shake the world, and his face began to blush. The boy hurriedly patted him on the back.

After a long while, the middle-aged man recovered his breath, and said with a wry smile, "Master River God is just joking with the students?"

Lin Bei said lightly: "Think about it as you like, but for this kind of thing, the answer given by others is not as profound as thinking about it yourself. I see that you are also a child of a poor family. You can also think about it. Just now, my god What's wrong with the welfare system mentioned, maybe next time we meet, you can say some thought-provoking words, by the way, drink less alcohol, alcohol and sex are all harmful things, Bian Ji, let's go."

Being advised by Lin Bei, the middle-aged man was a little stunned.

Bian Ji took one last look at the middle-aged man, and he didn't like him very much.

After Lin Bei and Bian Ji left, the middle-aged man came back to his senses, shook the jug, and said to the young man next to him: "That Lord River God just now seems to be trying to persuade me not to drink too much?"

The young man took the jug over without any hassle, and took a sip himself: "So this wine belongs to me."

"There is no wine in life, why do you want to have it, let's go and make another pot."

"No money..."

"Didn't the pot of wine just use up eight gold pieces? How about two gold pieces?"

"I gave the two golds to that old woman..."

"That??"

"This Lord River God will definitely not be short of money for drinks..."

"Exactly, exactly...go."

.....

"My lord, are those two still following?" Bian Ji asked in a low voice.

Although Lin Bei can perceive the range of ten miles around, if there are many people around, it is difficult to distinguish certain specific people, so he usually doesn't bother so much.Always pay attention to the surroundings, and shook his head when he heard the words: "I didn't pay attention."

"Then if you meet them again next time, let the sergeant arrest them. This kind of green-skinned rascal, let them work for a few days and they will be honest."

Lin Bei was speechless: "Didn't you see that these two are masters?"

"I don't see it, he looks like a tuberculosis ghost." Bian Ji shook his head.

"It's right if you don't see it. Usually people can't see the demeanor of a superior person." Lin Beishen said.

"Yes, isn't your lord just an ordinary person..."

"Well, children can be taught..."

Bian Ji was speechless, feeling that this lord really liked to hit him more and more.

Talking all the way, Lin Bei and Bian Ji arrived at the pier soon.

"My lord, compared with Wanghai, Xiangyang City is indeed much more prosperous."

There are not many Wanghai people who go to sea every day, but the population base is indeed not as good as that of Xiangyang City. The most common people in the east and north of the city are boatmen.People rely on water for food, so there are many people at the pier, and boats come and go, sending the caught fish back to the city.

Now fishing is all done with fishing nets. Fishermen take boats into the river, look for places where fish gather, and then cast their nets, which is actually similar to modern sea fishing.Not very efficient, generally speaking.It is impossible to catch big fish. The fishermen can catch forty to fifty catties of fish every day, which is considered a good harvest. The small fish will be eaten by themselves or made into fish sauce, and the big fish will be sold. The rich in the south and west of the city There are many people, and there is no need to worry about sales.

When Lin Bei and Bian Ji arrived.There are more than a dozen small boats docking, but there are no fish on board, but sand dredging boats. Now Xiangyang City is building roads extensively, and the price of river sand is very high.There is no need to worry about sales. Compared with fishing, sand dredging is obviously easier, so many fishermen have changed their careers to become sand dredgers.

"Master, you said that after I captured the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, wouldn't our fishermen in Xiangyang City be able to go fishing?"

"There must be a steamboat, and the boat must be big, otherwise it won't be able to withstand the waves, and it will take too long to go back and forth."

Lin Bei nodded, and suddenly asked: "The last time the fleet came, how many cities wanted to attack our fleet? Master, do you remember?"

"My lord, the students will naturally remember."

"Now that I think about it, our Dawei Dragon King ship is the biggest ship today. Can we just take down all these cities along the river? First, take down the cities on both sides of the Yangtze River, and then take down the cities on both sides of the Yellow River." What do you think of the idea of ​​besieging the hinterland of the Central Plains?"
