I can see the book of life and death

Late at night, everything is quiet.

Zhang Mingtu was lying on the bed, silently calculating the gains and losses in his heart.

Negotiations between father Zhang Jishi and the family went extremely smoothly.

Under the witness of many ancestors of the family, Zhang Jishi paid for the secret recipe and received a three-cent dividend from the future Yu Hu Chun.

Well, the distilled rice wine no longer simply has no name, but is named Yuhuchun by the family.

The name is high-end and classy, ​​also to facilitate sales.

Even though Weiyuan Escort Bureau is famous in Jianyi for its martial arts, in fact there is no shortage of educated people in the family.

The family does not only know how to use force, but also knows how to keep things flowing smoothly.

Training the young people in the family every year to practice martial arts and strengthen their bodies was a suggestion put forward by a far-sighted person in the family.

Once there is a talented person among the younger generation who can receive the family's key training, at least there will be no shortage of many elixirs and food needed for martial arts training.

This was quite impressive for an ancient family in the feudal period. At least Zhang Mingtu secretly admired it.

Zhang Mingtu had to admire the fact that the family did not tyrannically occupy his family's secret recipe, but chose to cooperate for a win-win situation and give 30% of the profits to Zhang Mingtu's family.

"This family is so good. No one is targeting it, and even heroes have no place to play."

"Why haven't we encountered those situations of suppression by the main line of the family, discrimination by slaves, and lack of food and clothing?"

Zhang Mingtu sighed in his heart. If this was really the case at home, he would have less scruples when doing things. At least the trouble with the county magistrate's son would have been put on the agenda, instead of being trapped in hesitation and entanglement.

"Well, each has his own good, each has his own wonderfulness."

Staring at the ancient book in his mind, Zhang Mingtu's mind became clear.

During the day, his mentality was calm. After he understood his mentality, he no longer struggled with it. As a result, the words recorded in the book of life and death in his mind disappeared at a greatly accelerated rate.

At this time, many of the words displayed above "The Magical Art of Wedding Clothes" have almost disappeared.

The book of life and death seems to change according to his mind.

The firmer his thoughts are and the more doubts he has in his mind, the faster the words disappear from the book of life and death, and the more he can show the scene after his change of mind.

And if Zhang Mingtu hesitates or has no definite idea in his mind, the words on the Book of Life and Death will disappear very slowly, and the delay in showing what changes his choice will cause in the future will happen.

Wait until the moon is at its zenith and the silver-white moonlight shines all over the sky and the earth.

All the words on the Book of Life and Death disappeared, and the ancient book shook, revealing a brand new picture.

Black and white intersect with each other to form a strange balance.

The gray and white parts form a strange gray tone, which is strange and weird.

That part of gray separates the title of the book, revealing the title - "Balance"

On the left is the word "ping" and on the right is the word "heng".

Zhang Mingtu was shocked and became more and more certain.

As long as the idea in his heart is firm and his mind is firm and determined to execute something.

Then the Book of Life and Death will quickly give relevant answers or experiences, which are related to his original mind and nature.

With the answer in mind, Zhang Mingtu looked down intently.

There is indeed something wrong with the dam. It is repaired every year and the height is increased every year. It is just empty talk.

But when I went to take a look, I found that the embankment was in disrepair for a long time. Every time someone repaired it, it was mostly just for show.

There has been no major flood disaster for many years. Except for the villagers living around the dyke who are worried and strengthen the dyke on their own every year, no one else cares much.

I asked the villagers around the dike. Since the new county magistrate took office two years ago, he has ordered that the dike be strengthened.

Every year, more labor is recruited from the village, but there are often very few sandbags, stones, money and grain to strengthen the dams.

Having experienced floods all year round, the elders in the village knew how terrible floods were, so every time the county magistrate issued an order, both the big households in the village and ordinary villagers would take the initiative to contribute money and help.

Thousands of taels of silver are collected for repairing dams every year, but the results are minimal.

The construction of the dam was all done, but the thousands of taels of money and food were spent cleanly every time.

On the contrary, the big households in the village are building more and more dams and producing more fields. The county's Taiye Mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and they are nowhere to be seen.

Zhang Mingtu was shocked when he saw this.

Inexplicably, I thought of the famous saying that made the bullets fly: The common people's money is divided into 30 and 70, and the money of the big families is returned in full.

As for the dam collapse and causing disaster, who cares?

The county magistrate lives in the county government office. The mountain is high and the emperor is far away from floods, so no matter how they break out, they cannot harm him.

As for the big households in the village, the rest of the houses are built on very high ground.

The silt brought after the flood will not only not damage his house, but will make the fields more fertile.

Zhang Mingtu was shocked. These words were not thought of by him, but said by an old man from a poor family in the village.

It is no secret to many villagers that the dikes are in danger.

It is recommended that although there have been no major floods in recent years, there has been a lot of rain, and there have been gaps in the dike in several places when the water rose.

The villagers living around the dam tried their best to block it with sandbags and other objects. It did not cause any major harm, but it did flood dozens or hundreds of acres of farmland.

And this kind of thing doesn't just happen in one dam.

As for the people who reported to the government, they all returned without any illness. The one who caused the most ferocious trouble was the old man's son, who died in the county government office.

"this……"

The more Zhang Mingtu looked at it, the more shocked he became.

He relied on the unfolding of the future without knowing whether he was alive or dead, so he knew that there was probably something wrong with the grain depots and dams.

Many villagers living around the dam have long known this fact, but they are unable to resist. They watch helplessly as the dam collapses little by little, and death gradually comes.

After taking several deep breaths, Zhang Mingtu calmed down.

Keep looking down.

The wealthy or smart households in the village have long since moved away, but many people have their farmland, children, and families here.

Their wealth and accumulation throughout their lives are on the edge of the dike. Even if they know that they may die if they stay here, no one can move away.

If they move away, they will only be able to farm. They have no skills. If they take care of their children and take their daughters to other places, they will just starve to death. Death now or death in the future. Most people choose the future.

And if you stay, you may not necessarily die. What if the county magistrate becomes kind in the future and repairs the dam?

Zhang Mingtu clearly knows that there will not be many changes in the future. In fact, many villagers in the village probably also know that there will not be many changes in the future.

But they have no choice but to gamble on other people's consciences.

They had no chips and didn't want to gamble, but they were forced to the gaming table.
