The walnut is tiny, floating up and down on the water surface, Gu Nanyi's slender figure rises and falls with it, but does not tilt or tilt, his clothes, which are as blue as sky and water, float in the sea breeze like flowing clouds, the morning sun hits him On his shoulders, his whole body glowed with light water-colored brilliance, like a gentle jade statue, he stretched out his fingers, and the glow that fell on his fingertips shone brightly like diamonds.

The people of the South China Sea have never seen such a person and demeanor, and for a moment they forgot to do long-distance arm throwing exercises, and opened their mouths wide, thinking they saw a fairy descending.

The eyes of ten thousand people fall on one person, and others are a little bit clueless about how to move their hands and feet, but Young Master Gu has always been scumbags except for Feng Zhiwei, so he stretched out his hand unhurriedly, and there is an extra basket in his hand.

basket.

Tens of thousands of people opened their mouths so wide that they didn’t even realize their saliva was falling—this person riding a walnut across the sea is already terrifying enough, and riding a walnut across the sea with a basket on his back completely breaks through the image of a fairy .

Uh, in fact, although I have never seen a fairy crossing the sea with a basket on its back, it seems to be quite beautiful.

The fairy took out the magic basket, and slowly flew down the walnuts floating in the sea one by one. Wherever they passed, there were edible vegetables, eggs, dried fish, and crabs, all of which were picked up in the basket.

Tens of thousands of people opened their mouths wide and let out an "Ah", and a thunderstorm rolled up on the pier—it turned out to be a fairy who rode a walnut basket across the sea to collect the broken things.

Young Master Gu wandered around along the walnut road, pocketing all the food he could see in the basket, and at the end he quickly skimmed around the sea to take back all the walnuts—it can't be wasted, it's walnuts.

His sweeping arc was graceful, and his phoenix-like figure flew across the sea with splashes of light blue water, and more than ten thousand people sighed in unison.

Young Master Gu didn't know that he had performed a stunt for the people in the South China Sea that they would never forget until their death. He only focused on completing Feng Zhiwei's task, and flew back to the big ship with the basket in his arms, and handed it to Feng Zhiwei.

Feng Zhi took it with a smile, and then the corners of his mouth twitched—Master Gu doesn't know good or bad when buying vegetables, he wants as long as they are in the water in front of him, so there are rotten vegetables in the basket, smelly shoe uppers, and a bunch of unlucky ones swimming in the water. jellyfish.

She threw the inedible things back into the sea, and said with a smile: "Today, I will let you have a taste of my craft." Then she said a few words to Gu Nanyi.

Young Master Gu stood on the side of the boat, all the people had already forgotten their purpose of coming and what they were going to do, and all looked up at him.

"Your Highness said that the people in the South China Sea are so rich." Young Master Gu relayed Feng Zhiwei's words dryly. His voice seemed low, but when he spoke, tens of thousands of people could hear him clearly.

Feng Zhiwei saw with clairvoyant eyes that in the crowd, Zhou Buzheng, who had been reading a book as motionless as a mountain, finally put down his book and raised his head.

"The chief envoy of the South China Sea petitioned the imperial court a few days ago, saying that the South China Sea was affected by the disaster and the grain production was reduced, and asked the imperial court for disaster relief." Gu Nanyi has an excellent memory and can recite every word, "The imperial envoy came here to understand the disaster situation in the South China Sea, and if necessary At that time, they planned to open a warehouse to release grain and reduce or exempt taxes. Now, as soon as they arrive in the South China Sea, they collect five catties of dried fish, ten crabs, and a few dried vegetables and eggs. It can be seen that the people in the South China Sea are not in danger of running out of food. It is necessary."

More than ten thousand people let out another "ah" and turned their heads to glare at the government.

The South China Sea officials looked at each other, and Zhou Xizhong stood up.

"Your Highness said, I don't understand why the people in the South China Sea are so wasteful of food?" Gu Nanyi continued to memorize, "Your Highness went out of Beijing all the way, passing through the three provinces of Jianghuai, Longxi, and Longnan to the South China Sea. In addition to the land of fish and rice in the Jianghuai area, Longxi has experienced severe drought this year. , the people in the three places suffered disasters, the mountain torrents in Longnan cut off the road, the people in the seven counties still have no food and clothing, tens of thousands of people are waiting to be fed, and countless hungry people are on the road. All members of the guards cut down on rice and rations, and went along the road to help disasters. Even His Royal Highness stopped eating vegetables, just to save one more bite and save one more life. I don’t want to see all the people greeted with dried fish today when I came to the South China Sea. It's too grand, His Highness thought of the suffering of the people in the south and south of Longnan, so he didn't dare to waste it, so he thanked the elders for the gift and used it as a meal."

The whistling of the people in the South China Sea subsided, and they looked at each other in blank dismay, never expecting that the imperial envoy would collect food to eat and say such a thing. Zhou Xizhong stood there straight, with a gloomy face.

"Your Highness, thank you for your gift, and dare to ask the elders of Nanhai—we are all people in the world, some people are wandering on the road and cry of hunger and cold, and some despise food and fish into mud. Don't you feel that you are hurting the nature? Don't you feel ashamed?"

The crowd was a little disturbed. When the self-righteous reasoning was completely overthrown and suddenly became an unreasonable troublemaker, everyone was panicked. In addition, everyone has a heart of compassion. Hearing the suffering of the people in Longxi and Longnan, As common people, I feel the same way, and feel that the imperial envoy's words are really special and touching, much more real than those official-mouthed imperial envoys before, most of them calmed down, showing some shame.

He Lianzheng looked at Ning Yi and Feng Zhiwei with his mouth wide open—it is a fact that Longxi and Longnan suffered disasters, but it seems that one of you drank bird's nest soup yesterday, and the other gnawed on a bastard's leg, right? Who doesn't eat vegetables

Han people, oh Han people... It's terrible.

"I would also like to ask the governments at all levels in the South China Sea to report disasters when there is no disaster, to report no food when there is food, to deceive the superior and the inferior, and to ignore God's power. Don't you feel ashamed of the imperial envoys who came from afar to rescue the disaster? Your Majesty, the emperor who is devoting himself to planning and saving the disaster in the South China Sea?"

This sentence, Young Master Gu raised his tone according to Feng Zhiwei's prompt, but it was a pity that his tone was not ups and downs, and could not achieve the effect of shocking and killing. Fortunately, language itself has its power, and the group of Nanhai government officials obviously had a commotion.

"We are here today, eating the food given by the people before disembarking." It was the first time in Young Master Gu's life that he had said so much, and he was already impatient, and dryly issued a final declaration to 10,000 people, "and invite South China Sea Chief Let Mr. Zhou, board the boat to eat this food that should not be wasted. The government has the duty of enlightenment. The people in Nanhai do not understand the value of food. Then the imperial envoy and the government of Nanhai will demonstrate it by themselves. His Highness will personally arrange the chopsticks, and Mr. Wei will cook in person. , and invited Mr. Zhou to board the boat and light the fire."
