Zhao Lin said calmly, "I can't stop because of them. The enemy is advancing. If I'm a step slower, they will be devoured. Neither they nor you will have a good ending."
Fu Wenqi was stunned for a moment and said, "Zhen...you are all family, it shouldn't be that serious, right?"
Zhao Lin smiled and said, "Why not? I just received news that Princess Yu was attacked on her way back to the capital and was nearly abducted. Fortunately, Zhao Chenhan arrived in time and risked his life to save her, but he himself was almost hacked to death. Can you guess why they were so timely?"
Fu Wenqi thought for a moment and said, "Zhao Chenhan?"
Zhao Lin said, "It must have been him. I told him about Zhao Mingzhu's arrival, and naturally he was furious. To maintain his place in their hearts, he planned this attack. But he's a ruthless man, and he almost got himself killed."
Fu Wenqi was silent and sighed deeply: "Why do this? Why do this?"
He stopped trying to persuade her.
Although Fu Wenqi was a bit pedantic, he had not yet gone to the extent of advising Zhao Lin to stretch his neck and wait for death.
"I can't control these things, and I won't. Don't worry about the affairs of Jiujiang Province. I will handle it for you. As for the rest, you, you should be careful."
There was only so much Fu Wenqi could do.
Zhao Lin stood up and bowed deeply to Fu Wenqi: "Thank you for your support, brother."
Although he is just his brother-in-law, and although Fu Wenqi doesn't know how to clear out everything, he can do this and is no different from a real brother.
"No need to thank me, just don't let Qing'er down." Fu Wenqi said.
Fu Wenqi took over all the political affairs of Jiujiang Province, and Zhao Lin felt much more relaxed.
"Xiong Hui will never give up. If he fails in the open way, he will definitely try secretly." After everyone left, Zhao Lin said to Su Di and Song Huaian.
Sudi asked, "What are you going to do?"
Zhao Lin said, "It's easy to catch a thief, but hard to guard against him. Find someone to kill him."
Sudi was surprised and said, "You can use the letter from Tongdi to threaten and use him..."
Zhao Lin shook his head: "No, I don't believe in that. I only believe in common interests."
When doing business in his previous life, Zhao Lin only believed in profits and did not believe in gratitude or hatred.
Because of this, he avoided several traps designed for him by the enemy.
Sudi was thoughtful.
Zhao Lin said, "It would have been best if we could have negotiated peace this time, but he's too greedy. He wants both money and the Qingzhou army. We can only send him to his death. Huai'an!"
"Sir." Song Huaian responded.
Zhao Lin said: "You go and do this, and go directly to the northwest after you are done. I will let Chen Huai contact you if there is anything."
"Yes." Song Huaian said briefly.
After Song Huaian left, Su Di said unhappily, "We entrusted such a confidential matter to him. What if he betrays us?"
Zhao Lin smiled and said, "No, because he also has interests in me."
"What benefits?" Sudi asked curiously.
"His pursuit." Zhao Lin said.
Sudi was puzzled: "What is he pursuing?"
Zhao Lin said: "He is a traditional scholar, and his pursuit is naturally to cultivate oneself, govern the country and bring peace to the world."
Cultivate oneself, manage the family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world.
As for self-cultivation, Song Huaian has been well-read in poetry and books since childhood, which is enough.
Qi's family, his parents and family are all very nice, and he hasn't started a family yet, so they don't need him.
Song Huaian had been influenced by the way of governing a country since he was a child. He knew that it was difficult for him to govern this corrupt country with his own abilities, so he had been traveling around.
All that remains is peace in the world.
There are many ways to pacify the world.
Some are patched up, while others are started from scratch.
Obviously, Song Huaian chose the second option.
Of course, he didn't trust Zhao Lin that much, so he worked for Zhao Lin while observing him.
If Zhao Lin's actions disappoint him, he will give up Zhao Lin without hesitation.
Before that, Song Huaian will be a very qualified ally.
"You're still an idealist," Sudi scoffed. "The world has always been like this, unless we meet a wise ruler. No, even if we do meet a wise ruler, life will only be marginally better, and the people will return to poverty at any moment."
Zhao Lin nodded: "So, what we have to do is to tear down this world and reshape a new one."
"What's the new method?" Sudi asked.
Zhao Lin smiled faintly. "A new world that still has the old world's shortcomings of poverty, hunger, oppression, crime, etc., but will not cut off the ability of ordinary people to make progress."
No matter what world it is, as long as there are people, there will be all kinds of things, which is inevitable.
However, as long as the upward channel exists, everyone has the opportunity to rise, and the world is full of ideas.
Sudi was thoughtful.
"Currently, whether it's Daqi, Beidi, the Nanzhao Kingdom in the south, or the Dayuezhi in the northwest, they all share a common problem: the path to upward mobility is blocked, and everything is controlled by the powerful. Ordinary people are unable to rise through hard work, and naturally all sorts of problems arise."
Zhao Lin said lazily, "So, what we need to do is to open up this channel. Only when this is opened up, all problems will be solved."
There were all kinds of lights flashing in Sudi's eyes.
"You are indeed the number one scholar. I admire you."
Zhao Lin laughed heartily: "How hypocritical of you, a third-place winner, to say such a thing."
Sudi said, "I truly admire you. I've never thought about the realities of this. I only know that people fight for power, but when new powers come to power, they exploit the people just like the old ones. At best, they'll pretend to be powerful in the early days, but their true colors will show later, and the people will still have trouble living. But after hearing what you said, I understand that the people can't survive not because of hardship, but because of a lack of hope."
