Yan Li smiled and scratched Li Xiangjun's nose with his hand. "Little fool, how can you still be so naive? Those rulers, the Emperor, the Confucian orthodoxy, the King of Shanzhai, and the head of a clan, they only hope that the ruler is a little more stupid. It's best if they don't even have any thoughts, so that no one can threaten their rule. Once people become smart, they will not be satisfied with the status quo and will be dissatisfied with the various phenomena at the moment. This kind of dissatisfaction will cause social upheaval. History has proved that no matter how glamorous the policy of fooling the people is, its essence is the same. "
Li Xiangjun was a little unconvinced. "But if everyone is not smart, who will help the Emperor govern the country?"
Yan Li smiled. "There is a saying that goes, there will always be a grain of gold. Let's take Dragonorder City as an example. It has a population of two million. As long as we pick out two hundred useful talents and two thousand ordinary people who aren't smart enough but are a little smarter than most people and are good at various fields, and put them in the corresponding positions, the whole city can function normally. "
Li Xiangjun thought of the heads of the merchants and sects who came to visit during the day and said in surprise, "Thinking about it, it's true!"
Yan Li smiled. "Now you know that Ouyang Bo's behavior is purely retarded. At least in this era, those ideas of his can't be realized. However, he can make Liumu Bingjian change his set plan. He does have some outstanding points, although I don't intend to cooperate with the Heavenly Measures Tower. "
The next day, after meeting Shi Dong and his daughter, Liumu Bingjian came as promised.
Yan Li showed him the tea. Liumu Bingjian took a sip and put it down. Seeing that Yan Li's appearance had changed a lot, he guessed that Yan Li might have suffered a lot in the battle to destroy the city. It was not convenient to ask for details, so he could only ask, "Is Jiang Mingcheng not easy to deal with?"
"He has hostages. Those people from the Court Of Sword are all 'talents'. You know Xu Longxiang." Yan Li shrugged.
Liumu Bingjian could roughly guess what had happened. He smiled bitterly and said, "With Brother Yan's temper, it must have been difficult for him to let them return alive."
"If it wasn't for Eldest Senior Brother, I would have to betray the Court Of Sword." As Yan Li spoke, he waved the manuscript. "Bingjian, you and I have known each other for a long time. I'm not saying this because I want to cooperate with you. I'm afraid this person is not worthy of being entrusted with such a big task. You should be more vigilant."
"Brother Yan, are you worried about me? What a surprise." Liumu Bingjian pursed her lips into a smile. She looked very heroic when she was dressed as a woman, but she was acting like a little girl. There was a strange sense of beauty to her. "Actually, it is not as Brother Yan thinks. This person's' General Theory of Literature 'is not the work of a master, and has the suspicion of playing to the gallery. Otherwise, I would have paid attention to it two years ago, and would not have waited until today. In my opinion, pursuing the truth is more active than participating in a battle. Although the original intention of establishing the Heavenly Measures Tower was to deal with the Fengtian Sect, the Book of Heavenly Secrets was indeed to seek the truth for the common people. Everyone is human, and humans have needs. The most common need after a full stomach is a sense of security. Wouldn't it be a terrifying thing if one were to encounter a calamity at any time without knowing it? Therefore, I want Ou Yangbo to carry out the plan of revising the Book of Heavenly Secrets. I want to split the monotonous book into several categories, reporting on wars, diseases, influential families, grudges, natural disasters … There will be a separate page for some of the more important categories. This way, the common people can obtain useful information from it, and allow them to have some control over their own destiny. "
Yan Li listened carefully.
After listening carefully, he could not help but shake his head and smile, "What a romantic idealist. Bingjian always surprises me. "
"I'll take that as a compliment." Liumu Bingjian had a smile on his face. He stuck out a small part of his tongue, which was rarely seen as cute. "I single-handedly established the Heavenly Measures Tower. I can't drag it into the whirlpool of war just because I hate the Fengtian Sect. Therefore, one of the three principles of the Heavenly Measures Tower, 'permanent neutrality', cannot be changed. I also don't want to see those who echo my ideals, ah, the romantic idealists you mentioned, fall into a dangerous situation because of my selfishness. "
Yan Li said, "So, apart from telling me the reason why you want to abolish the Pact of Misery, what else do you need my help with?" He spread his hands. "I've just conquered Longling City. I'm a busy man now. If you don't give me enough benefits, forgive me for being unable to help even if I want to."
"It's like this." Liumu Bingjian directly ignored Yan Li's witty remark. "Ouyang Bo and I have discussed a separate special page, which is for people like you who are powerful, have a special identity, have greater influence, and can stir up a storm in the Three Realms. Then, the conversation will be compiled into an article and announced to the world. A famous person like you will attract many ordinary people to read. They will get the truth from it, understand the causes and effects of famous people, and understand the temperament and preferences of famous people. As long as they can understand something from it, it will not be in vain. Ouyang Bo believes that the strong should make corresponding contributions to the advancement of the world by seizing more of the power of heaven and earth. I also think that this is right. The greater the power, the greater the responsibility. More importantly … "She raised a finger." Isn't it better to let the people of the Three Realms recognize what kind of person Yan Shifang is on their own initiative than to argue with others? "
Yan Li saw a kind of light shining in Liumu Bingjian's eyes at this moment. It was the embodiment of a firm will to move forward with a clear goal. It was completely different from what he had seen before. That was when Yang Qingning was executed on the double nine execution ground. At that time, her eyes were full of pleasure, indifference, mockery, and malice. His nature made him stay away from people with such emotions.
"Revenge is really an ugly phenomenon …" he said subconsciously.
"What?" Hearing an answer that was completely unrelated to the discussion, Liumu Bingjian was stunned.
"Nothing, I just think that you look very charming right now." Yan Li smiled and held up one of Liumu Bingjian's hands. "Charming Miss Bingjian, please allow me to agree to your request, because I can't wait to serve you."
Liumu Bingjian felt that her hand was grabbed by a strong force. She could not help but be stunned. She remembered that when she first met Yan Li, she was taken advantage of by all kinds of excuses and methods. But from a certain moment, Yan Li suddenly stopped being polite to her and no longer made physical contact with her. Now that she was taken advantage of after a long time, she actually felt very nostalgic. Her pretty face burned for a moment, but she quickly returned to normal as if she did not notice. She said, "Of course, I will arrange it immediately. If it is a public interview, we need to prepare a platform so that the public can see the process of the interview. In addition, I will invite influential people from all over the world and ask them to witness it together."
"What is the name of our special page?" Seeing that Liumu Bingjian did not withdraw his hand, Yan Li was secretly delighted. He liked to take a mile when given an inch, so he caressed her hand as if it was a treasure.
Liumu Bingjian could not pretend anymore. He forcefully withdrew his hand and did not dare to look at Yan Li.
"The Light of Stars."
"This name is not nice. How about calling it the Light of Ten Directions?" Yan Li smiled evilly and bent down to look at the faint red clouds on Liumu Bingjian's face from the other side.
"Then, then it will become your special page …" Liumu Bingjian was a little embarrassed. She shrunk to the back of the chair anxiously. "Also, Brother Yan, can you stay away from me? It's not convenient to talk like this …"
"Why are you suddenly afraid of me? You never used to be like this. Oh, could it be that you have fallen in love with me now?"
"Have, have I?"
"Let's try kissing and you'll know."
Liumu Bingjian's eyes widened as she looked at Yan Li who was getting closer and closer to her. She even pouted her lips and begged for a kiss. Her breathing quickened and she actually had a slight desire. She was at a loss and pushed Yan Li away abruptly and fled. "The visit conference is in three days. You should prepare well …"
Yan Li watched with a smile on his face. He only felt that his whole body had become very relaxed after this farce. He was pleasantly surprised by Liumu Bingjian's' growth '. He was happy with this change and hoped that the other would become better and better.
Three days later, on the ruins of the former Dragon Order Mansion, a high platform was temporarily built in the middle of the empty space. Surrounding it were hundreds of thousands of spectators who came because of the fame.
The young man sitting opposite of Yan Li was Ouyang Bu. He was dressed very simply and somewhat slovenly. It seemed that he was not a person who paid attention to his image. There were more than a dozen tables behind Ouyang Bu. Sitting there was a person holding a pen and waiting with rapt attention. They were the spies responsible for recording conversations.
Ouyang Bu looked at the booklet in his hand and then smiled at Yan Li. "Mr. Yan, you look very good today."
"It's just so-so," Yan Li said.
"As the saying goes, the onlooker sees more clearly," Ouyang Bu said with a smile. "Can I be a little narcissistic and think that you are looking forward to this visit?"
Yan Li smiled. "You've successfully made me laugh."
Ouyang Bu said with a smile, "We are very grateful that you took the time to accept the visit. Before we officially start, please allow me to introduce the distinguished guests who have come to be witnesses today."
Yan Li nodded. He saw that there were five chairs juxtaposed on the red carpet below the stage.
Ouyang Bu stood up and faced all the spectators. With great passion, he shouted, "Now, let's welcome the first distinguished guest. As the founder of the Heavenly Strategies Tower, she once achieved outstanding military merits in the Demon-Buster Conference. She is known as the Ice Lotus War Goddess and is the idol of all the young ladies in the Three Realms. At the same time, she is the perfect goddess in the hearts of all the men in the Heavenly Strategies Tower. She is — Lady Liumu Bingjian!"
Wow, I can see the War Goddess!
Where is she? Where is she?
Amidst the excited chatter that could topple mountains and overturn seas, Liumu Bingjian appeared in splendid attire. She was as bright and clear as a snow lotus on the Tianshan Mountain. She smiled and showed off her perfect figure. She waved at the spectators and walked to one of the chairs to sit down.
"Alright, let's welcome the second guest, Su Xingyu." Ouyang Bu was like a mountain of flames that had been destroyed. He instantly lost all his passion and very simply introduced the second guest.
