Chapter 266

The autumn rain is continuous, falling in every yard as far as the eye can see.

Incense was burning in the room, and a bamboo curtain separated the middle of the house. Beside the window on the side of the bamboo curtain, Ning Yi was drawing numbers with a brush in front of the long table. The notebook is sorted aside.

There are not many notebooks on the table, half of the time is not over yet, if in later generations, more than half of those notebooks have been processed before two o'clock.The bamboo curtain seems to be doing the same job, and after a while, a woman's laughter came: "Ha ha."

The voice of laughing was not high, as if he had seen or thought of something interesting, he laughed to himself, Ning Yi lowered his head and wrote, and ignored it until a moment later, the woman over there seemed to remind him With another "huhu hum" chuckle, Ning Yi just closed the book in his hand, threw it aside, and asked casually: "Why is the lord laughing?"

"A few days ago, a stone was transported from the mountain. It was blue and looked pretty..."

The voice was not loud, and he stopped halfway through. Ning Yi was used to it, and didn't answer. He looked at the information in the book with a pen in one hand and his cheek in the other.After a while, another sentence came.

"I want to carve it into a big knife and put it at the door. Because I want to carve stones, I think of Wang Yin...you have never seen him. He is a stone chiseler. I think if you ask him for help, he will definitely be angry. If he is angry, he will be angry." fight."

"I may not be able to beat him." The figure on the other side of the bamboo curtain nodded, ended with this sentence, buried his head and continued to write, Ning Yi raised his eyebrows while writing: "I should be able to help you with the fight." .”

"Hmm." The woman didn't have a big reaction, she just kept silent for a moment, blinked her eyes at the curtain, nodded and said, "That's very good."

"Tsk, naturally it's very good..."

There is a bit of sourness in the words of one side, and the other side is basically casually finding a topic for entertainment. In this room where the rain is falling, Liu Dabiao, who already has the identity of "the lord", probably thinks that sometimes it should not be too much. Freeze, speak freely.However, she has a weird personality, and often has a different smile from others. It is said that the scholars in the Badao Camp used to deal with things with her, and they would only be more cold at this time.

Ning Yi is somewhat different.Of course, when encountering such a situation a few days ago, they often had to be stunned for a while, and then they generally understood that the other party wanted to respect the corporal and relax the atmosphere, so they nodded while answering a few words.

Both sides are people with somewhat peculiar temperaments in dealing with others. Liu Dabiao made a joke because she felt that the superior should give the hard-working subordinates a relaxing atmosphere, but she did not deliberately pursue the effect. Laugh as you please.Ning Yi sometimes treats people with calculations, and sometimes he doesn't care about others' acceptance.In a few words, sometimes he talked nonsense, sometimes he talked to himself, and in this big room where it was raining, it added a bit of coolness to the atmosphere.

The room was quiet for a long time because of these few conversations. The maid in soapy white clothes brought tea, walked under the eaves, and then went out silently.

"A few days ago, the batch of military supplies was sold according to the method you said. I didn't buy much food from Zhou Pingfu. Now that I have transported half of it back, I am afraid it is still not enough. Food is always a big problem... Some days, from the middle of July to the beginning of the month, so many of these notebooks were sent every day. I started to read them every afternoon, and then asked people to finish them until the lamps were in hand. After an hour, it was almost finished, and I felt that I was getting lazy, and in retrospect, this kind of thing started to happen a few days ago..."

The flat and straightforward tone does not sound like there is much emotion and feeling in it.Ning Yi has only seen the girl behind the curtain a few times. She looked like she was wearing a national dress with a bamboo hat on the streets of Hangzhou, and later in Taiping Lane. When he shot her, he vaguely saw the girl's eyes behind the veil. , but it is difficult to connect with the style behind the curtain that imitates the thinking and tone of men.

But after these days of contact, the girl behind the curtain is still quite powerful in this mode. On the one hand, she looks like a student who is actively eager to learn, and on the other hand, she has all kinds of strange things. In some respects, there is a naive way of acting, but obviously under the long-term cultivation, this behavior pattern has formed a unique temperament, at least from the reactions among the members of the Ba Dao Battalion today. For this Everyone has universal support and admiration for the woman who inherited her father's mantle. The former can be said to be the cohesion retained by his father, but the latter is by no means simple. The confidence and dependence of everyone in her must be long-term Only by being correct and not making mistakes can we be cultivated.

He closed the notebook in hand: "Is there any dissatisfaction with this, my lord?"

"A few days ago, Mr. Ning dealt with these matters, the questions he asked, and what he said were quite thought-provoking, but looking back these two days, Mr. Ning's methods of handling things were extremely conservative. Follow the rules, there is absolutely nothing really surprising If this is the case, I can ask anyone to do it, why should I ask you, please Mr. Ning to teach me."

Ning Yi glanced over there: "At the beginning, if you want to sell yourself, you have to say a few beautiful words to impress people. But when doing things, the most important thing is the rules. It's not an amazing move. A village with thousands of people , How many major events can there be, the rules themselves have their own rules, just leave it to the people below to compare with the previous examples, if everything is carefully weighed, in the long run, if the rules are broken by human feelings, it will be bad."

"So..." The girl inside paused slightly, as if she was a little annoyed, "I've been involved in everything these past few years, and I've done it myself, but am I stupid?"

"With such a heart, it's good to do things like this. Why don't you go to other places?"

"Why can't it be used here?"

"Compared to others, it is indeed much better, but I have seen how you dealt with it two years ago. In the village, Amao should have a good job. You have to think about it carefully. Agou married a wife. Where is he from?" , you have to be concerned about it. The handling of the matter is indeed comprehensive. I don’t think I can do it. Although you don’t usually show up, everyone knows that you have good intentions and hard work, and everyone acknowledges your kindness. Zhaizi is better than other places. There is a human touch. But the human touch overshadows the rules. Everyone does good deeds and knows that you are behind them, but what if they do bad things? They don’t think about the rules, they only think about how you will deal with them after you know? You can't bear to deal with things, and you want to be merciful at your own discretion, who is willing to follow the rules in the future, such things have happened several times in recent years..."

The blunt words on the other side of the curtain interrupted Ning Yi's speech: "The law is nothing more than human feelings. The people in my village, I treat them as my brothers and sisters. Under the command of Shenggong, they are the bravest in war. Yes, they rushed to the forefront and bleed the most. In Tiannan Wulin, no one dared to provoke my Badaozhuang people. Everyone likes this very much. They have a good life. They can't see me, but what I did, They will all see that if we only follow the rules, one day my congregation will be deserted."

The first half of her words seemed to be a little angry, and then she calmed down and simply stated her own thoughts. Ning Yi smiled: "Human favors and rules must be there, and there is no such thing as human favors. But There are rules in the village, and laws in the country. Let me tell you, what is the easiest way to measure whether a place is healthy or not: When a person has some conflicts and commits a crime, the first thing he thinks of is through the rules if he wants to solve it. , I still want to directly find someone to take the lead, just see how much this proportion is. If he only thinks about rules and everything is about litigation, this world is impersonal. Of course, I have never seen such a place, no I've heard of it, but if he only wants to find someone, then the law is useless. If you want to manage this village, you must have both. Now that there are more people killed and injured, and more things happen, everyone All looking at you, you are just exhausting yourself to death..."

Chirping, chirping, chirping, the rain was still falling, the two people in the room argued for a long time about this matter, but in the end, it seemed that there was no result.A few days ago, after reading some information, asking some questions, and understanding some things, Liu Dabiao behind the curtain was a little amazed at his dedication to this village. Few people can match this level.

In today's world, whether it is managing the village or ruling the world, after all, human feelings are more important than rules. It is natural that his modern management philosophy that pays attention to triangular checks and balances is not accepted.But theory belongs to theory, and doing things depends on the results. These days, Ning Yi's seemingly conservative but clean handling and classification methods have indeed made Liu Dabiao, who is currently in a hurry, heave a sigh of relief.This point, the girl on the other side of the curtain is also well aware, so the two sides argued for a long while, she snorted coldly: "I will consider your argument." , Start doing what you are about to finish.

After a while, the other side of the curtain said: "In the past few days, I heard that Mr. Ning is making friends with outsiders? Do you have entertainment every day?"

Ning Yi thought for a while and nodded: "Well, since you want to live here, you should know some people."

"I thought you would stay in the Badao camp all the time, and you wouldn't get involved in miscellaneous things, that's fine. But now you want to go out to meet people, but the people you make friends with are all of the same rank..."

"Mostly they are businessmen." Ning Yi made a slight correction.

Liu Dabiao snorted softly: "Anyway, they are people who are not worth making friends with. Mr. Liu said, you are degrading yourself. As I said, since you have entered my Ba Dao camp, I can keep you safe. You I have handled a lot of things for me recently, I want to thank you, I don’t need you to do things you don’t want to do, if you don’t want to go, the day after tomorrow at the Baiguan Banquet, you just say you are sick, I promise you not to go .”

When she said this at this time, Ning Yi blinked his eyes a little funny. In the three or four days after the Mid-Autumn Festival, he started to go out to meet some people and participate in some small entertainments.In today's Hangzhou city, there are all kinds of people from all walks of life, three religions and nine streams gathered, and there are still such opportunities.However, once you start to communicate and get acquainted with those around you, you will gradually be drawn into this circle, just like participating in the official banquet. Once you are marked by the government, if something happens in the future, he will not be able to escape as a scholar. .

If he was unwilling to make friends with people in Fang La's system from the very beginning, it would be noble, but it would be difficult for people to really trust him, but taking the initiative to make friends with all kinds of people is tantamount to starting to give credit.Liu Dabiao called it self-defilement, although it is not appropriate, but the meaning is always clear.Ning Yi also admired the girl a little bit, and naturally smiled and insisted on his own affairs, and the other party didn't force it, just hummed softly: "As you like."

Although the two are talking and arguing every day, but if they are close, it is naturally not counted. After finishing the matter in a while, and discussing a few more words, Ning Yi got up to leave, and told him to take the umbrella away from the curtain.After Ning Yi left, someone came in from the side door. This man was tall and burly, and he was Liu Tiannan, the head of the Badao Camp. When Hangzhou was not occupied, he followed Liu Watermelon into the city, and he also had a relationship with Ning Yi. It was once considered that he was Liu Dabiao himself.Just now Ning Yi was in the room, and he waited for a while outside the side door. When he came in at this time, he mainly wanted to ask about the handling of various things in Badaoying every day.

Today's Badao Villa followed Fang La's rebellion, and the family members were distributed in Badao Villa and Hangzhou. The young and strong who were really able to fight and resist were still participating in the war in Jiaxing.Every day, big and small things are reported, and Liu Xigua is a person who does everything by himself. He was injured recently, and Liu Tiannan, who is tired all day, is also a little anxious.But the girl is very strict with herself, and she regards this kind of thing as a test for herself, even if Liu Tiannan wanted to persuade her, the girl would just skip it casually.

In fact, Liu Tiannan can be regarded as a shrewd person. He is an old man in Badao Camp. minister.But recently there are indeed a lot of things. Although he and Liu Xigua put in the most effort, they are still very busy every day.On the contrary, after Ning Liheng came, he pointed out "you go here" and "you go there" for a while, the situation seemed to have eased, and he saw it.

"Speaking of which, this Mr. Ning is indeed a man of talent and learning. It's just that when I saw him in Hangzhou back then, he was so brave, and when he led the crowd to break through the siege in Huzhou, he was also brave and resourceful. An uninhibited person. But these days, it seems that he is more organized than those old pedants. Haha, owner, if this person is sincere, he has found a treasure."

"So what if it's not true." The girl sat on the big bed, took a bullet in her hand, and opened the window with a bang, "He has made many friends now. Someone must have pointed him out. I asked him to attend the Hundred Officials Banquet, and he understood in his heart, and started to do these things."

"It's... a bit more decisive." Liu Tiannan frowned. He had seen people who would rather die than submit, and he had seen people who were greedy for life and afraid of death, but he didn't see much emotion in the things Ning Yi did. This kind of thing makes people feel a little weird.

"We follow the rules in everything. We killed him. He helped the court beat us. He was arrested. He started to help us. I asked him to participate in the official banquet. He knew he couldn't push it, so he just did it thoroughly. These days , The same is true when dealing with things. He knows what should be done, but he doesn't care what he wants to do. But at this point, he should also know that he has no way out." Liu Xigua thought for a while, "...boring man of."

People in this world have their own persistence and their own desires. There are many bad people under the Holy Duke, who are full of selfish desires, have dirty ideas and do dirty things.But there are also people who are admired, even though everyone's ideas and persistence are different, such as Fo Shuai who is working hard for this foundation, Lou Minzhong who wants to be famous forever, and Chen Fan who seems reckless but is careful, but in some things, he is the same. With a fiery temperament, An Xifu is indifferent, killing others like cutting grass on the battlefield, but he has his own efforts and persistence.

When she was in Hangzhou, she knew that there was someone like Ning Liheng who set up a bureau for the court. Later, in Taiping Lane, she watched him blow up the entire alley to nothing. Then to Huzhou's vigorous counterattack.She also thought that this person might be a free and unrestrained, romantic celebrity who can decide everything when talking and laughing, just like the Mr. Wolong that her father said when she was a child, but now it seems that the other party doesn't take those things to heart at all.

The most important thing is the rules, what should be done, not what you want to do.He killed himself, and he wanted to set up a trap to save his life, so he almost killed himself and others. In Huzhou, he was among the fugitives, so he manipulated people's hearts and made those remnant soldiers rise up, beheading more than [-] people on his side He was arrested, and he asked him to do something, but he couldn't push it, so he continued like this, and let him participate in the official banquet. He knew that things could not be avoided, so he simply went out to make friends with all kinds of people, even if he didn't like it—— If my life is like this, what's the point.

As she thought this way, Liu Tiannan knew what she was thinking, and laughed: "If he's so interesting, we probably won't be able to ask him to do things for us."

"Hmm..." Liu Xigua nodded.But I always hope that he is more interesting... Don't be too thorough. I originally thought of many ways to make him succumb or move him. In the end, he readily agreed. When she probably felt the other party's temperament, it was as if a knife had been slashed in the empty space, and she couldn't help but feel a little bored.

But no matter, such a person is what the villa needs most. If he works hard in the future, he will naturally treat him as the owner of the villa, and he will never treat him badly. As for the others, it doesn't matter.

Of course, I really want to know what this person really wants to do.But it's not urgent, just take your time...

Curiosity ends here, I already know what kind of person the other party is, and there is probably nothing to explore in the future... She thought so.
