The whole world is cultivating qi, only I am cultivating the body

Zeng Wenyu laughed when he heard Li Qi's words. He was not laughing at the fact that Li Qi was wrong, but at what Li Qi said about the Liang royal family.

"What are you laughing at? Am I wrong? Who in power would want the people below to have other beliefs? Especially in a dictatorial regime like the royal family."

"But people's hearts cannot be stopped. Since you don't want the people below to have their own thoughts, why don't you let them live a better life? As long as the people can live, they will not rebel against the regime. But when the people can't live, why should they be loyal to the rulers?"

Zeng Wenyu's words made Li Qi think. She was born in a privileged family and grew up in such an environment. To her, the Liang State's oppression of the lower-class people was the most common thing. She had seen too many people being oppressed without even resisting. Her thinking had never been from the perspective of the lower-class people.

"Do you remember the reaction of the people in the city when our army entered the city that day? The Liang people are tough, do you really think they have no ability to resist? But Goudan just shouted a few words in the front, and they just let us in to cause trouble. Do you really think the people at the bottom have no anger?"

"But here in Kangguo..."

"As you walked along, you must have seen the lives of the people on Dakang Street, right? Have you seen how pale and skinny they are? You should know that even beggars are in much better physical condition than Goudan, so what I wrote may be circulated in Dakang, but at most it is just a different idea from the above. As long as the people live well, they will not rebel."

Li Qi was silent. She had indeed seen different scenes on her way from Liang to Kang. The lower-class people in Liang lived a hard life. People like Goudan, who was pale and thin, could be seen everywhere on the streets. But in Kang, at least in the border city, she had never seen such a person.

"So you think what I wrote is not right? Ideas need a breeding ground. Without a breeding ground, ideas can take root and sprout. What I wrote is at most just an idea."

Looking at Li Qi who was constantly thinking, Goudan, who was sitting on the ground, said that he agreed with Zeng Wenyu's words. After all, who would choose to face the threat of possible death at any time if they could live? They just wanted to have enough food and warm clothes.

Seeing that it was getting late, Zeng Wenyu was not going to argue with Li Qi anymore. He turned to look at Hua Nongyu and said, "Captain Hua, I have finished my work here. How about you send them away first?"

"wait a moment."

"Waiting for whom..."

Before Zeng Wenyu could finish his words, the curtain of his tent was lifted, and Hua Wu Yue, Lan Qian Hu and Zhang Qing walked into his tent, talking and laughing.

Zeng Wenyu was stunned when he saw the three people. He knew it was not easy to run away now. He needed to find a reasonable excuse to leave the tent: "Hey? Sister Hua, you are here? Zhang Qing is here too? It seems that everyone has a good relationship. I'll go to the bathroom first, and we can talk when I come back."

Hua Wu Yue looked at Zeng Wenyu with a smile. She did not stop Zeng Wenyu from going to the toilet. She just watched Zeng Wenyu leave the tent. Of course, Hua Nongyu also left at the same time. She wanted to send Goudan out of the military camp and also arrange a tent for Li Qi.

Zeng Wenyu walked out of his tent and fell silent when he saw the situation outside the tent. There were more than a hundred people outside who began to stare at him as soon as he walked out of the tent. It seemed that no matter where he went, these female soldiers would follow him.

After stepping back from the tent, Zeng Wenyu sighed helplessly at the half-smile on Hua Wuyue's face, "We don't have to do this, do we?"

"Why not? Little brother, you are so thoughtful. I must arrange more people to keep an eye on you."

"More than a hundred people are staring at me? Sister Hua, I really want to thank you!"

"You're welcome, you're welcome, brother. Didn't you say you wanted to go to the bathroom? Why aren't you going?"

"More than a hundred people are watching me using the toilet? Sister, I don't have that kind of hobby!"

After saying this, Zeng Wenyu sat on the chair helplessly and wanted to pet Xiaoli, but Xiaoli? It struggled and jumped out just after he held it in his arms. It didn't want to be affected. It was very clear about its position. It was just a cute little cat.

Looking at Xiaoli who was struggling to jump out of his arms, Zeng Wenyu sighed helplessly and reached out to hug Xiaoxue. However, Xiaoxue twisted her body, swam under his feet, and huddled in the corner of the tent with Xiaoli.

Looking at the two little ones who didn't give him any face at all, Zeng Wenyu spread his hands and complained in his heart that neither of them could be relied on at the critical moment.

It was getting later and later. Looking at the three people in front of him, Zeng Wenyu asked in a low voice if they wanted to play mahjong. Among the few people, only Zhang Qing, who didn't know what mahjong was, was somewhat interested. However, Hua Wu Yue refused. She said that she had let him use this to get away last night and would never play mahjong today.

"Since we don't want to play mahjong, how about we play another game? I know there's a game that can be played by three people. It just so happens that the three of you are all beginners. With me by your side to guide you, maybe you will have more fun."

Looking at Zeng Wenyu, Hua Wu Yue narrowed her eyes and said, "Okay, you make it first. If it's fun, I'll promote it to the camp. Usually, the sisters don't have many entertainment activities, so it's not bad to have more."

Zeng Wenyu's eyes lit up, and he immediately took out a few large pieces of paper: "This thing is called playing cards. Although we only have black ink in our tent and cannot reproduce it very well, it is enough!"

He divided the paper into small pieces of equal size in a few strokes. The method of making playing cards is much simpler than mahjong. Soon a deck of cards was made by him. After telling the three people the rules, he sat down again and watched the three people playing Landlord on the table.

"Huh? What game is this? It looks interesting!" After playing just one round, Hua Nongyu and Li Qi walked into the tent from outside.

Seeing Li Qi, Hua Wu Yue sent a questioning look to Hua Nong Yu. Hua Nong Yu walked up to her and whispered a few words to her. Hua Wu Yue nodded and said, "Okay, since you agree, let's go together. I asked the firemen to prepare some food before I came. Let's eat first. By the way, since you think it's interesting, do you want to come over and play?"

"Okay, okay, but you have to tell me the rules."

After Hua Wu Yue told Li Qi the rules, she stood up, gave her seat to Li Qi, walked out of the tent and prepared to tell the firemen that it was time to eat.
