In the Heavens
Chapter 82 The Heir's First Lesson
After listening to Ning Qingyu's words, Li Mu's three views were refreshed.
The hero walks the rivers and lakes with righteousness, and fights violence and peace in the world with his sword.
Eat the best food, drink the best wine, ride the fastest horse, sleep with the most beautiful woman...
These are the dreams of youth and frivolity.
Everyone wants to spend a lot of money, but it's a pity that they lost to the few pieces of silver in their pockets.
In a sense, there is no difference between rivers and lakes disputes and local clan fights. In essence, it is all about competing for resources and reducing the population by the way.
It's not that no one wanted to change all of this, but those who took this step lost to reality in the end.
Either become a new evil dragon, or be turned into a member of the "Evil Cult" that everyone hates.
The imperial court does not allow it, the martial arts factions do not allow it, and the people of the world do not allow it.
After contemplating for a while, Li Mu bowed to Ning Qingyu, and said bitterly: "Master, this disciple understands what to do."
"No, you don't understand yet."
Ning Qingyu shook his head and said.
"This world is more complicated than you imagined. Do you think we are indifferent?"
"That only shows that you know too little!"
"This martial arts world never lacks passion. I was young too, and I wanted to change this cruel world. Let me tell you a story:
Twenty-five years ago, I was not the head of Huashan.
At that time, there was a severe drought in Guanzhong. In order to alleviate the drought, I ignored the opposition of the elders in my family, and with the support of my brothers and sisters, I led the gentry in Guanzhong to contribute to the restoration of the Zhengguo Canal.
You should know that the construction of water conservancy has always cost a lot of money.
According to the plan in advance, we plan to wait until the restoration is completed, and collect the water fee from the beneficiary fields to slowly recover the cost and use it for later maintenance.
Everything went well at first, but trouble arose towards the end of the project. On the one hand, there is insufficient water, and on the other hand, it is the pink eye disease of the family that has not invested in it.
Originally this is nothing, as long as some effort can always be resolved. It's a pity that at this time, the imperial court transferred a high-ranking "Qingtian" master to succeed the governor.
The aristocratic families who did not participate took the opportunity to instigate the public to make troubles and demanded that the water fee be exempted on the grounds of the disaster.
This Liu Daqingtian immediately received the pleadings, and did not know the specific situation, so he directly ordered the prohibition of charging water fees.
You must have guessed the following things, let alone such a huge initial cost, and the later maintenance is not a small expense.
The imperial court was unwilling to allocate funds, and we organized repairs by ourselves and came out to make trouble, and conflicts naturally occurred.
The two sides stalemate for several months, and finally we made a concession and put forward a condition to the court: as long as the court pays the project expenses and bears the later maintenance expenses, the project will be handed over.
Guanzhong has been exhausted for many years, and the local treasury can run away mice. The Ming Dynasty was also a well-known poor court, so naturally it was unwilling to bear this expense.
No one pays, and of course we don't pay attention to a mere governor. That's how things were put on hold.
It's just that when the water was released at the end, Governor Liu directly led the people to the scene, and the most tragic fighting in Guanzhong broke out in a century.
This governor Liu was also staunch. Seeing that things were getting serious, he knew that he couldn't get out, so he just plunged into Zheng Guoqu and committed suicide.
This happened, and the participating gentry backed away. For the sake of reputation, my Huashan faction also had to give up.
Afterwards, Governor Liu was awarded the title by the imperial court and became the world-famous Lord Qingtian. As the price of his fame, he suffered eight million passers-by. "
Li Mu was dumbfounded. It never occurred to him that the head of the sect, who only had profit calculations in his eyes, would have such a secondary side.
That's right, it's "Secondary Two".
Although the plan is good, the problem is that the court cannot agree.
In an agricultural society, if you control water conservancy, you control people's livelihood.
Originally, the Huashan faction had great influence in the local area. If the Huashan faction were to use the water conservancy project as a link to tie the eight million people in Guanzhong together, the color of the mountains and rivers would change in just one thought.
From the standpoint of the Ming court, I'm afraid they would rather watch Guanzhong decline than an uncontrolled existence.
The second class belongs to the second class, but this plan is definitely beneficial to the people.
Even if it failed in the end, the repaired water conservancy project has benefited many people, which is far beyond the reach of the famous heroes in the rivers and lakes.
Now Li Mu understood the reason why no one objected to Ning Qingyu as the head of the Huashan faction, where the sword qi was opposed.
"You don't have to be sad as the leader, we have done everything we can, and we have a clear conscience."
Li Mu comforted him.
Deep down, he had made up his mind to learn his lesson.
It's just that Ning Qingyu didn't buy it, and gave him a hard look, and said, "You don't need to comfort me, I've figured it out a long time ago.
Fortunately, the plan back then failed, otherwise how could the imperial court let me go.
As for the Ming court, if it does not build water conservancy projects for two hundred years, it will pay a price sooner or later. Since they have given up Guanzhong, what will change the color of the mountains and rivers one day must also start from Guanzhong.
Telling you this story is to let you understand that we cannot do some things even if we know they are right.
As the heir of the Huashan School, you are different from others, and you must put away your poor sympathy.
You must weigh the pros and cons when you encounter problems, and you can only take care of your own affairs within your ability, and it is best not to take care of any of them.
You can learn Fangzheng and Chongxu, especially Fangzheng's performance in this area is particularly good.
If you become an enemy with them, you must kill them immediately; if you are not sure, then be friends first! "
The situation has become more and more complicated. Judging from the present, the conflict between the Huashan faction and the imperial court is not just a matter of the beginning of the founding of the country.
From the standpoint of the Huashan faction, it is natural to hope that Guanzhong will be more prosperous. Only when Guanzhong becomes rich can the pockets of the Huashan School be bulged.
It's a pity that the Ming Dynasty couldn't do this. Not only did it have no money in its own pocket, but it also didn't want others to invest in the place.
The ruling class has always been very small-minded, especially for those who can threaten their own existence, they can't tolerate the slightest.
Perhaps in the eyes of the imperial court, Ning Qingyu is the number one careerist. Fortunately, the top of the Shaolin Temple was in front to attract firepower, otherwise the Huashan faction would definitely become the number one target of the imperial court.
From this point of view, there is one more behind-the-scenes man who might provoke the sword qi dispute in the original book.
Li Mu was too lazy to analyze who was more suspected. Anyway, they are all potential enemies. As long as the Huashan faction reveals its weaknesses, the enemies will definitely pounce on them.
Now the situation of the Huashan faction has undergone a fundamental change, and the most direct fuse, the successor dispute, has come to an early conclusion.
The original two sects of sword qi are no longer monolithic. Both himself and the leader Ning Qingyu are trying to disintegrate these two groups.
The next east out plan is the biggest turning point.
If the plan is successful, the problem in the door will be solved; if the plan fails, the person who caused the problem will be gone.
