Chapter 46 The rotten internal organs
"His surname is Xue and he is a musician. Every time there is a clear sky, he comes here to play the flute. I arrested him because of the curfew and asked him why.
He said, I want to use moonlight to cleanse the sound of my flute. Only in this way can I play music without a trace of human fireworks. From that day on, I stopped arresting him. Instead, I helped him cover up his violation of the curfew." He said this. As he spoke, Zhang Xiaojing's ferocious face flashed with a special look.
"Is this what you call Chang'an?"
"Yes, this is the real Chang'an. The real Chang'an people. He is a very ordinary person, just the kind of person bullied by the Xionghuo Gang. I have been a bad handsome man for eight years. I have never really liked this city. Those The families who were forced to have no other choice, the children who disappeared inexplicably, the girls who were forced into prostitution, but in the end had no choice but to surrender. All of these are the original sins of this city. Sometimes, I even feel that I hate this. I love this city more than I love it."
"Then you haven't thought about changing him?" Lu Xuan took a few steps forward, stood on the bridge, and looked at the river in the distance.
"Of course I tried. But I failed. The Five Palaces of Yama can only scare some young people. I can't change this city. Over the years, I have worked hard to support it, but I just barely managed not to be swallowed up by it."
"It's pretty good to be able to maintain oneself in this kind of quagmire."
"But it's not enough. There are some things that I can't do, but adults can. Today the bad guys received a new batch of ordnance. It's a gift from the Prince's Mansion. Sir, you now have a chance to change this city. Sir, you can If you eliminate the Bear Fire Gang, you can do more."
This is probably the only time Lu Xuan has shown his true feelings since he met Zhang Xiaojing. It can be seen that the Xionghuo Gang incident still caused a huge shock in his heart. Maybe he once hated this city. But Lu Xuan has no doubt that he is actually more He still loves this city. He loves it more deeply than anyone else. But his way of expressing it is different from others.
"Change this city. Do you really think I, a little county captain, can do it?"
"Your Excellency, your knowledge is far superior to that of those in the court. And with the favor of the prince, you will surely prosper in the future."
"Maybe. But maybe in the process, I was swallowed up by the city you mentioned and became a part of it. You have to know that there are few people in this world who can fight against those around them all the time like you. environment. People always have to adapt to the environment."
However, when Lu Xuan said this, Zhang Xiaojing became less excited.
"No, I believe you can do it. I, Zhang Xiaojing, am never wrong when it comes to people. You are the most out of place person in this city. No matter how many novel dishes you make or how popular you are, Strong drinks. Deep down in your heart, you have never integrated into this city, or even into this country. I can feel your loneliness just by looking at your back. I don’t know where that loneliness comes from. .But I am certain that this is not something that this city can make up for."
Lu Xuan must admit that the protagonist in the original work has a sharp vision that is indeed beyond imagination. Although he only has one eye, he is the kind of person who can truly see through the fog and see through the truth. He can even be keen. I feel that Lu Xuan is incompatible with this world. You must know that Lu Xuan has worked hard to integrate into this world.
The sound of the flute in the distance gradually became louder. The melodious melody penetrated the tranquility of the moonlight. Mixed with the moonlight, it sprinkled on the Tianjin Bridge at your feet. It was a poetic and picturesque scene.
Lu Xuan stood on the bridge, looking at the lights of the imperial city in the distance.
"Chang'an... Datang... It's not that easy to change all this. It will take a long time. Are you sure you can wait?"
"Until death."
"Until death? Nothing can be changed after a person dies. Haven't you noticed? I'm actually already doing it. I'm trying to change something. If domestic pigs can grow fatter and bigger, then the people will
You can get more meat and more oil. If hens can lay more and bigger eggs, then people can have more food. If the rice in the fields can grow better and more,
Then the people will have more to eat.
If this person is not full, then whatever you say is in vain because they cannot hear. On the contrary, if they are all full, they will start to think. Think about what they should do next. Think about their next step.
What should we get? When people learn to think for themselves, some things will naturally change."
What Lu Xuan said was very vague. Zhang Xiaojing was confused when he heard it. But he understood clearly that Lu Xuan in front of him was already trying to change this city, and even this country.
Lu Xuan, who has experienced the baptism of the information explosion in later generations, naturally knows the shortcomings of the Tang Dynasty at this time. To be honest, the problems of the Tang Dynasty are far from as simple as the few words he said casually above.
At this time, the Jiedushi envoys from various places have become a phenomenon. They hold great power and support their troops. They have become an invincible force. At the same time, the armies of these Jiedushi envoys have been fighting for years and are extremely brave. In comparison, the armies in the mainland are
It was already decayed. No matter the Sixteenth Guards or the local armies in various places, they were vulnerable. More than ten years later, An Lushan rebelled. The inland army had no resistance, which is the best evidence.
This is a military issue. There is no possibility for Lu Xuan to intervene in a short time. The second is government affairs. Li Linfu is becoming more and more powerful. He is almost the whole court. For a country, this is
A very abnormal behavior. Li Longji lost his enterprising spirit and became obsessed with Yang Yuhuan's beauty. All over the country, it seemed that the country was prosperous and the people were safe, but secretly there were many contradictions.
The entire Tang Dynasty is like a giant on the surface. But the internal organs have begun to rot. It can barely maintain a balanced situation now because Li Longji is still in his prime. An Lushan is not prepared enough. In a few years
, he would submit a letter requesting the construction of Xiongwu City. With such an obvious sign, Li Longji actually agreed without hesitation????
In fact, so many shortcomings cannot be solved by the strength of one person. Even though Lu Xuan is a time traveler, he is not a top student in the history department, and secondly, he does not have a golden finger in the system. He feels quite unable to start. So Lu Xuan
In fact, the first link in Xuan's plan is not the prince, but Li Longji. For this, he needs an opportunity, an opportunity that is about to come.
On the Tianjin Bridge, the sound of the flute gradually became soothing and eventually disappeared. In the distance, the musician named Xue bowed towards the two of them, then turned and left.
