Chapter 489 Taibai Jinxing: I Also Want to Make a Contribution! [Seeking Monthly Votes]

In the evening, Li Yu drove to the village and asked Wang Shengli to find a few people to pour concrete for the yard on the top of the mountain.

In addition to Xiaoju's yard, the front and back of the house, the road in front of the house, and even the road up the mountain must be hardened with concrete.

Anyway, I have a mixing station at home, so it is more convenient to use this thing.

After the road surface hardens, it will be much easier to go up and down the mountain. Then Zhao Feng will be equipped with a scooter for the elderly. This will not allow him to live a retired life in advance.

Li Yu originally planned to hire people in the village to do this work, but when Wang Shengli heard that he was building roads on the mountain, he said he would not charge any money:

"This is a matter for the village. How can I get you to pay for it? All the workers who are not working at home tomorrow will go to work in the mountains... Building roads and bridges is a good thing. I have to find a TV station to interview you."

Li Yu quickly refused:

"No, no, no, I'm just doing it for my own convenience. I'm embarrassed if you make it so formal."

Wang Shengli laughed:

"You young people are thin-skinned. If you want to put it aside, the people who paid for the road construction are the ones who want to erect a monument."

After finalizing the matter, Li Yu was just about to go back when he met Xiaoju driving an electric tricycle and taking her parents-in-law up the mountain with a flashlight and other things on the car.

"What are you going to do?"

Xiaoju said:

"My parents are not busy right now. They go to the mountain to clean the room...Boss, the rent you paid is too much. Please change it to two years."

"Your house is a new house, nothing can be done without it."

The mountain was dark and the electricity was not connected. Li Yu did not let the family of three go up the mountain:

"I can just find someone to clean it up during the day. It's so late at night, what if I get bitten by a venomous snake or scorpion? Go back, we'll talk about it tomorrow if you need anything."

Xiaoju was indeed a little scared when she heard about poisonous snakes.

She thought about it and decided to switch shifts with Xiuhe, who was working the night shift tonight, and go to the mountain to clean the room during the day tomorrow.

If the boss wants to rent his own house, he must clean it up and not be careless.

Xiaoju asked her father-in-law to drive the electric tricycle back, and she got into Li Yu's car and returned to the B&B.

On the way, she revealed a piece of gossip:

"Boss, Xiaochen, who is in charge of the front desk, seems to be pregnant. I heard that her mother-in-law bought a bunch of nutritional supplements and asked her to quit her job to raise her baby at home... If Xiaochen quits, our B&B will have to recruit new people, right?"

Oh, I have to follow the etiquette again... Li Yu said:

"There may be new people coming in a few days. Then you and Sister-in-law Xiuhe will take care of them... A distant relative of mine is going to come to the scenic spot to work, and he also wants to transfer his child to our village primary school."

"Okay boss, no problem!"

After Zhao Feng's family arrived, they first made up extra classes at the B&B, while Zhao Feng's wife went to work at the B&B, so that they could integrate into the real world faster.

As for Zhao Yun's sister Zhao Xue, she can find a high school to study in then... I hope she can study with peace of mind and not have the lively and cheerful personality of the Queen.

Back at the B&B, dinner has been prepared and everyone eats together.

Li Yu cut the pork rind jelly that he cooked in the afternoon, poured it with sesame oil, vinegar, garlic chili oil, and mixed it for a while to make a refreshing cold dish.

Mu Guiying came over with some rice in hand. She loved the shiny food so much:

"Why is it so transparent? It's like crystal."

Li Yu said:

"Simmer it over low heat, don't let the water in the pot boil, and it will naturally become translucent... Of course, it's best to steam it. Use cold boiling water to steam it, and it will be in a completely crystal state."

Li Shimin, who also came to eat, was a little puzzled:

"Can't you use cold water?"

"Cold water tends to become turbid. This is the same principle as freezing ice cubes. If cold water freezes directly, the ice cubes will not be translucent enough. If you boil it with cold water, the ice cubes will look like crystals."

Xiao Shimin didn't expect that there were so many ways to make ice cubes. He planned to wait until winter, get a basin of cold water, and make a crystal lantern for Sister Wugou... However, he was a little depressed when he thought about the eldest grandson's family leaving for Chang'an. .

I won’t be able to see my sister Wugu for a while, I hope she won’t forget me!

Early the next morning, villagers from Shitouzhai Village who were resting at home came to the mountain in small groups and began to level the land and plan the mountain road. A few villagers who knew how to design even adjusted the slope of the mountain road.

In the past, almost everyone in the village worked on construction sites, and some even became technicians.

However, with the downturn in the construction industry, everyone lost their jobs. Fortunately, the scenic spot was built and the people in the village had new jobs.

Now that the road on the mountain is being re-planned, everyone is trying their best to thank Li Yu in this way.

The owner of the small supermarket in Cuntou couldn't come, so he sponsored dozens of boxes of mineral water and eight cartons of cigarettes; Wang Shengli's son Wang Shaojie bought fifty kilograms of meat and was responsible for the big pot of food at noon; Wang Shengmin and Wang Shaojun, father and son, brought half a truck of beer and Lots of drinks…

Everyone worked hard and contributed their own strength to road construction.

After Wang Shengli dispersed the cigarettes for everyone, he asked Li Yu:

"Can this mountain be developed in the future? The houses here can be lived in if they are tidied up. It is a pity that they are abandoned here."

Li Yu nodded and said:

"Yes, I can ask Wang Chunxi later to transform this place into a tourist attraction displaying Taihang folk houses. Interested tourists can rent it for a few days."

With the development of the world in the book, Lu Bu's family and Jia Xu's family will come to settle in the real world. It will be impossible to have no place to live by then.

It's a perfect place to develop this place. It will not only provide them with a place to live, but also show the living environment of the Taihang Mountain people in the past.

While the two were talking, Xiaoju's family and several women who came to help put on masks and tied towels on their heads and began to clean the house prepared for Zhao Feng's family.

Walls, glass, floors, roofs... all corners must be cleaned.

A layer of soil in the yard must be shoveled off so that concrete can be poured. Otherwise, the terrain of the yard is too high and it is easy for water to flow back into the house on rainy days.

After a day of hard work, the house became clean and tidy, and the road in the yard and up the mountain has been hardened. After purchasing furniture, it can be lived in.

Lu Bu walked up the mountain with his hands behind his back, leaned on the wall to look, and said to Li Yu with a smile:

"When I come to the real world, I will have such a yard to live in... Is the configuration of the house complete? Can flush toilets and other things be arranged?"

At this moment, the yard is full of concrete, and he can't go in to see it, so he can only get close to the wall to enjoy the sight.

Li Yu said:

"All the facilities that a homestay has can be arranged here, don't worry... When you are done with the Three Kingdoms world, this village may have been developed into an ancient village attraction. At that time, you may even be able to open a small shop to do business."

When Lu Bu heard this, he became even happier:

"That's great. I'm afraid that I will become a lazy waste in the real world."

A dignified general of the cavalry, a big man of the three dukes, can't be a waste who just sits on the sofa and orders takeout in the real world, can he?

After looking around, Lu Bu followed Li Yu down the mountain.

At this moment, the concrete has not solidified yet, so you can't step on it. You can only walk along the roadside.

Li Yu asked:

"Have you left Hanoi?"

"I left. After the signal tower in Hanoi was built, I contacted Lao Huang, Cao Xing and Song Xian. The three of us were free to look at the topographic map of Taihang Mountain. We found a small trail through the mountain that could smoothly reach the city of Longli County. We planned to send a small force to try. If we can take it, Guo Yuan's defense line can move forward."

Several militants got together and they really couldn't sit still.

While Yuan Shao was not in Yecheng, it would be good to take Longli County. Hanoi and Shangdang would be completely connected, and it would be more convenient to attack Jizhou in the future.

"Luoyang is now in ruins. I will build the signal tower and drive to Wancheng first, and then get some solar panels there."

The original plan was to build a hydroelectric power station and let Xu Huang and others develop slowly, but now a large area of ​​​​territory has been conquered quietly, and Xu Huang has to put the attack on Runan and the threat of Jingzhou on the agenda.

"After we get the equipment, let them use it themselves. I'll rush back and enter the Guanzhong Plain. I'll visit Hedong on the way, and then go back to Chang'an with His Majesty and Brother Fa Cai."

When they get to Chang'an, Zhao Yun and his men are probably going to arrive soon. Lu Bu will take a short break, and when Zhao Feng's illness is cured, he will send Zhao Yun and his family to the real world, and then go to the oil base to upgrade the equipment there.

If there is time, I have to go to Jiuyuan again and install the oversized water pump that Cao Wenfeng helped buy in the Yellow River, so that the people of Jiuyuan can open up wasteland and grow crops, and no longer worry about food.

"I've been busy in Hanoi and Luoyang, and I don't know what's going on on the grassland."

So many people were sent to the grassland, and top strategists Cheng Yu, Tian Feng, and Xu Shu followed them. If there is no victory, it will be in vain.

Li Yu said:

"Zhang Liao's troops fought nearly a thousand miles north and destroyed four or five relatively large foreign tribes, including Xianbei and Xiongnu, with remarkable results... Cheng Yu and his men in Dai County successively wiped out the troops of the Tuge tribe. Now the remaining Tuge tribe has fled eastward and entered Youzhou to hide."

If things continue like this, Liu Yuan, who opened the prelude to the Five Barbarians' Invasion of China, will most likely not be born.

Lv Bu felt itchy after hearing this:

"I should have switched with Wen Yuan earlier, let him fight here, and I would go to deal with the foreign tribes... Without the Tuge tribe, the Xianbei and Wuhuan over there will probably rise faster, right?"

Li Yu nodded:

"According to the deduction, when we have time, we can let Zhang Liao kill Tadun. As for the Xianbei, Cheng Yu should have more than ninety-nine ways to exterminate them."

After arriving at the B&B, Lu Bu had dinner and returned to the world in the book. He drove an off-road vehicle out of Luoyang and rushed to Wancheng, more than two hundred miles away.

Zhao Yun and others had already arrived in Yuci and were warmly welcomed by Han Rong and Xun Yan.

Everyone had a meal together, and Xun Yan even opened a bottle of Fenjiu, which he usually didn't want to drink, to welcome the arrival of the generals.

After learning that Gao Shun had occupied Shangai County and Jingxing Pass, the two immediately sent some officials to assist Gao Shun and try to trick more people from Jizhou.

Hao Zhao didn't have a meal with everyone. As soon as he arrived in Yuci County, he took a cavalry team and a carriage to Zhongdu County to pick up his family.

Taking advantage of this trip to Chang'an, he planned to place his mother and sister in Chang'an City, so that they would not be bullied in the future.

After a full meal in Yuci County, everyone rested in the post house, and Ma Chao and Zhang Xiu took the opportunity to visit this small county town that had just regained its popularity.

The city was quite lively, and the goods in the market were varied, and there was no trace of war at all.

Ma Chao exclaimed:

"It's better not to fight, the people can live comfortably...Brother Xiu, what are you going to do after the war?"

"Return to my hometown in the north, be an idle rich man, and when I'm not busy, go to the tree at the entrance of the village and tell the younger generations the story of the northern spear king."

Zhang Xiu's ambition is simple, just to have a place to settle down.

So in the original novel, he guarded Wancheng, neither expanded the territory nor trained his troops. He guarded his one-third acre of land and lived the life of a rich landlord with the assistance of Jia Xu.

When Cao Cao attacked, he chose to surrender quickly and planned to continue his life. However, Ah Man felt that victory came too easily and was a little arrogant.

He first married Zhang Xiu's aunt, and then secretly contacted Hu Che'er, a general under Zhang Xiu, and showed goodwill in various ways, openly poaching.

This behavior made Zhang Xiu very angry. Old Jia also found that his side surrendered too quickly and did not play the value of united front, so he instigated Zhang Xiu to rebel again and killed Cao Cao's most beloved general, the son who was most suitable for succession, and the horse he loved to ride the most...

It was because this battle hurt Ah Man enough that he respected Jia Xu until his death, fearing that he would neglect him.

Even in the choice of successor, he listened to Jia Xu.

So after Cao Pi came to power, he wanted to kneel down to Jia Xu on the spot and shout "father above".

The official position was directly given to the Grand Commandant of the Three Dukes; the title was directly promoted to the county marquis, and even Jia Xu's children were properly arranged.

Since joining the Cao Wei Group, Jia Xu has been cautious in his words and deeds, and has no contact with all court officials, no marriage, and no family group.

But when he died, the Jia family became a big family, and was rated as one of the Eight Gentlemen of Wei and Jin, which is much higher than the reputation in modern society.

In the world of Journey to the West, Xuanzang led two porters to travel in the morning and sleep at night, and rushed west all the way.

When he stopped at Famen Temple, he made a vow to "burn incense in every temple, worship Buddha when he saw it, and sweep the pagoda when he saw it", and his determination to obtain scriptures was strengthened step by step.

After lecturing on scriptures at Famen Temple for two days, he continued to go west.

In the sky, Zhang Daoling followed him all the time, intending to rescue Tang Seng when he fell into the tiger's den, establish a good relationship with him, and by the way, give him the Phoenix Wing Purple Gold Crown prepared by the Queen Mother for Wukong.

Before arriving at the Five Elements Mountain to rescue Sun Wukong, Tang Seng will encounter two dilemmas, one of which is being caught in the trap of the tiger spirit, and the two porters were eaten.

In the original book, Taibai Jinxing was responsible for resolving this chapter. He secretly let Tang Seng go and returned the horses and luggage to him. Only then was Xuanzang able to set off, and then he met Liu Bochin, the mountain guardian.

Now the fundamental setting of the journey has been changed. Zhang Daoling was worried that Taibai Jinxing would add insult to injury, so he deliberately followed.

First, to prevent Taibai Jinxing from deliberately standing idly by and causing Tang Seng to have an accident, and second, to kill the tiger spirit, the wild bull spirit, and the bear spirit that eats and harms people.

These monsters have taken over the mountains and treated passers-by as food. They are extremely evil... This is a great merit. We must catch them quickly, otherwise others will take them first.

As he was walking with Xuanzang, Zhang Daoling suddenly saw a Taoist dressed in white floating down. It was Taibai Jinxing, the foreign minister of the Heavenly Court:

"Greetings, Heavenly Master!"

Zhang Daoling put away his whisk and asked:

"What are you doing here? Are you trying to harm Xuanzang?"

Now that he has torn his face with the Heavenly Court, the gods of the Heavenly Court have quietly approached Xuanzang. Zhang Daoling doesn't think they are here to send warmth.

Taibai Jinxing bowed:

"I am here to respond to the calamity. Please agree, Heavenly Master."

Taibai Jinxing's calamity is relatively simple. It is to protect Tang Monk to pass this level safely, and then continue to travel west.

Seeing the old man hesitate to speak, Zhang Daoling blocked the nearby heaven and earth:

"If you have anything to say, you can say it now."

Taibai Jinxing saluted again:

"Please ask the Heavenly Master to say hello to the Queen on my behalf. Although I am in the Heavenly Court, my heart is with the Queen. If the Heavenly Master needs anything, please tell me. As long as I can do it, I will never refuse."

Is this... showing loyalty?

Zhang Daoling said:

"Our purpose here is different from that of the Heavenly Court. We must love and support mortals. All gods and monsters that are not good for mortals will be eradicated."

Taibai Jinxing quickly expressed his position:

"As long as the Queen gives me a chance, I can also protect mortals."

Who in the world doesn't have common ground... Lao Zhang teased in his heart, thinking that he could ask the Great Sage to try whether Taibai Jinxing was sincere or not.

Of course, he could also ask the Queen to directly explore this guy's heart. No matter what secrets he hides, they are all visible in the eyes of the saint.

But the Queen has been busy with other arrangements recently and has no time to take care of these things.

Zhang Daoling pointed to Xuanzang who was on the road below:

"If we walk for a few more days, Xuanzang will fall into a tiger's den, and then watch the two porters being eaten... How are you going to survive this disaster?"

Taibai Jinxing was very single:

"Kill all the monsters, leaving no one alive!"

"Yes, you have mastered the essence of protecting mortals, and I hope you can continue to carry it forward!"

"Thank you for your advice, Master!"

When they served in the Heavenly Court in the past, Taibai Jinxing did not think Zhang Daoling was anything special, but now that he saw him again, he found that his merits were as much as the sea.

"May I ask Master, is this how you get all your merits?"

"It's about the same. It's mainly because I can't sit still. I run back and forth between several worlds, do things within my ability, and then I have accumulated so many merits without realizing it... You belong to the Heavenly Court, and even if you earn merits, they will be confiscated."

Taibai Jinxing: "..."

No wonder I tried to be a good person, but there was no feedback.

I hope Her Majesty can issue an imperial decree as soon as possible to transfer a small Taoist priest like me to the Empress Wa Palace to serve, so that I can feel the fulfillment of having so much merit.

When the two chatted, Water Margin told the story of Yue Fei. Outside the city of Weizhou, Zhang Fei, Yue Fei, Lu Junyi, Qiao Daoqing, Shi Wengong, Yang Zhi, Li Ying and other generals led 10,000 regular troops and 10,000 hastily formed auxiliary troops to prepare to attack the city of Weizhou.

The defender in the city, Yelu Guobao, sneered:

"With such a small number of troops, you still want to attack the fortified city. It's really a foolish dream. Brother, how about I gather the troops and kill these bandits?"

Yelu Guozhen disagreed:

"So many troops suddenly appeared. I think it's better to keep the troops in place and then send someone to report to the capital to ask His Majesty to decide."

Yelu Guobao was so anxious that he stamped his feet:

"Brother, when His Majesty's troops come, will there be any credit for us? Let's go, let's kill them quickly, and the credit will be ours!"

Hearing the word credit, Yelu Guozhen was also moved:

"Okay, let's go and meet these rebels who suddenly appeared!"
