7855 - Sawdust

In front of a maple leaf forest.

Luo Xingchen hid on the hillside and looked at the camp below.

"Yanziwu, I didn't see any swallows, but I saw a pile of stones and sand."

Luo Xingchen whispered.

"Yanziwu is an ancient name. There should have been swallows in the past, but then the people nearby cut down the trees and engaged in slash-and-burn cultivation. The number of trees became less and less day by day. It's strange that there are still swallows."

Shi Yiyun pointed to the maple leaf forest in front and continued: "Look at the maple leaf forest over there. It was planted later and is not very big."

"Planting trees is good governance and brings blessings to future generations." Luo Xingchen said.

"The problem lies with the descendants of Fuze. Once you serve as an official, you only get free money. When you are in office, you can't see the benefits and get no tangible things. How many officials are willing to do it?" Shi Yiyun

The corners of his lips raised.

"I figured it out."

Luo Xingchen suddenly felt enlightened.

At that time, he did not understand the reason for the demise of the Liao Kingdom mentioned by Shi Yiyun. Suddenly, he thought of the key point from Shi Yiyun's analysis of planting trees.

Why does Shi Yiyun, a saint from a martial arts sect, have such far-sighted views on government matters?

Is this her personal hobby? Or maybe...

This is the common goal of the top leaders of Zoroastrian Cult!

What goal?

It is obvious that Zoroastrianism not only wants to cooperate with the Liao court, but also wants to subvert the Liao court and establish a dynasty belonging to Zoroastrianism.

Raising the flag from the bottom up means confronting the Liao Kingdom head-on.

After all, the Liao Kingdom has been established for hundreds of years and has a profound foundation. In addition, Da Qi in the south is eyeing it, and the northwest grassland tribes are also ambitious. If they were to face each other head-on, the Zoroastrian Cult and the Tuoba clan of the Liao Kingdom would fight to the death, and the result would be an advantage to others.

This is called the precursor to the king.

The top leaders of the Zoroastrian Cult are not stupid, and they certainly will not do such things that harm others and do not benefit themselves. In this case, the only way they can choose is to erode the Liao Kingdom from within, weakening the Liao Kingdom bit by bit, and finally achieve the goal of replacing it.

Thinking of this, Luo Xingchen felt shuddering.

The Zoroastrian Cult has such a grand plan, how could they allow someone to destroy their plan?

Shi Yiyun next to me is still the great saint of Zoroastrianism, and is the real high-level leader of Zoroastrianism.

Seeing Luo Xingchen's expression change, a smile appeared on Shi Yiyun's face.

"Don't be afraid, I won't harm you because of this."

"There are many reasons. One of them is that this matter is not too secret. At least the senior officials of Liao Kingdom have guessed it."

"Secondly, I don't agree with their ideas. In other words, although I am also a member of Zoroastrianism, I am not from the same group as them."

Shi Yiyun spoke slowly.

At this time, Luo Xingchen's expression had returned to normal.

"Since the senior officials of the Liao Kingdom have guessed it? Why do they still want to cooperate with the Zoroastrian Cult? Why don't they try their best to get rid of the Zoroastrian Cult?" Luo Xingchen asked doubtfully.

"Do you think they don't want to get rid of the Zoroastrian Cult? Really, they can't do it. Now the Liao Kingdom is infiltrated by the Zoroastrian Cult like a sieve. There are Zoroastrian Cult people everywhere. How can he get rid of him? Unless the Emperor of the Liao Kingdom takes over

All the civil servants and generals who are doing the work must be killed, otherwise, he will not even think about getting rid of the Zoroastrian Cult."

"This is a conspiracy, a plan that left the Emperor of Liao helpless." The corners of Shi Yiyun's lips rose.

"Since the Zoroastrian Cult's plan is very likely to succeed, why don't you agree?" Luo Xingchen asked his second question.

"It's very simple. Even if such a Zoroastrian religion succeeds in replacing the Liao Kingdom, it will not be a true Zoroastrian religion, but will become a group of pitiful people fighting for power and profit."

"You don't know the foundation of Zoroastrianism, so you don't understand what I mean."

"Zoroastrianism originated in Persia. It is generally used to save the world. The foundation of saving the world lies in physical salvation. Martial arts are only used for self-defense and are not fundamental to the doctrine." Shi Yiyun said slowly.

"Since the teachings of the Zoroastrian Cult are to save the world, then if they want to seize the Liao Kingdom, they can save the world after gaining power." Luo Xingchen said.

"Look at those blood-clothed thieves, are they saving the world?" Shi Yiyun said with sarcasm on his face.

Changping Village.

Hearing that Yang Yongqing's wedding was scheduled for September 26th, Yang Yongzhi discussed it with Taoist Yuan, then said hello to Yang Ruoqing, and asked for ten days' leave to come back and help Yang Yongqing build furniture.

Not only himself, he also called two carpenter friends to come and work together. Of course, he himself did not need wages, but the wages of the two friends also included three meals a day, which Yang Yongqing had to cover.

Jin was suffering from recurring illnesses, but when he heard that Yang Yongqing was getting married, he was so happy that the illness miraculously healed itself.

Yang Yongqing then asked Zhao Liuer to help him cook. Of course, the third brother could do it for free because they were brothers.

Asking the third sister-in-law to help cook is definitely not in vain. After all, cooking is also a very tiring task.

The matter was settled like this. Jin and Zhao Liu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were cooking, and brothers Yang Yongzhi and Yang Yongqing, together with their two carpenter friends, got into making furniture in full swing.

Old Yangtou also became more fulfilled. Every morning, he would go to the old house to supervise the work at three or six hours a day. He would watch the progress of making furniture. The old man would often put forward some of his own opinions.

In the afternoon, I went to the fish pond to fish, and went to see Lao Suntou and the others to smoke dry cigarettes and brag.

Ms. Liu was not idle either. Every day she went to pick up the scraps of wood that Yang Yongqing and others had plowed out of the wood.

"Fourth Aunt, what do you want these things for?"

On this day, as usual, Mrs. Liu took another bamboo basket to sweep away the wood debris, and she also picked up some fist-sized wood lumps into the basket. When she was leaving, Yang Yongqing couldn't help but catch up and point at them.

The basket asked curiously.

Ms. Liu laughed and said, "Pick it back and make firewood for burning!"

"You can put it in a brazier to keep warm in the winter. Let's see, your fourth aunt and I can live a good life!"

Yang Yongqing shook his head when he heard it, "Fourth Aunt, this thing is made of raw wood chips. When it burns, the smoke will be so big that it can blind you with ten pairs of eyes!"

Ms. Liu curled her lips and said, "My eyelids are strong and I'm not afraid of smoke."

Mrs. Liu picked up the bamboo basket and was about to leave, but Yang Yongqing caught up with her again.

He reached over and grabbed the bamboo basket, smiling so hard, "Fourth Aunt, you come to me every day to pick up these sawdust for nothing. This is Chi Guoguo taking advantage of me!"

When Mrs. Liu heard this, she puffed up her chest like a coffin board and glared at him: "Young boy, you bastard bastard, look at how stingy you are, I had to break a few legs before telling you to come here."

As for the marriage, I don’t see half a penny of your hard-earned money, so what’s wrong with you taking scraps of wood that you don’t need? What’s wrong?”
