Chapter 557 Zhou Xian receives the order
"Master Zhao! Master Zhao?"
In front of the blackboard, Zhao Zhenggang wrote down all the mathematics-related content he could think of that could be used in the work of the Ministry of Households, and was wondering if there were any omissions or errors.
When I turned around, I saw Zhou Xian coming towards me, trying hard to suppress his excitement and completely unable to control his eyes.
"what happened?"
Looking at his expression and the direction of his eyes, Zhao Zheng expressed his doubts and at the same time had an idea in his mind.
"Sir Zhao, just now a gentleman, I don't know which gentleman it was, suddenly handed me some account books without telling me what they were supposed to calculate."
"I am afraid of delaying important matters, so I came to ask."
"This... has not delayed Lord Zhao, I am guilty!"
Zhou Xian immediately pretended to come over and ask how to do things so as not to delay the emergency, but he accidentally interrupted Zhao Zheng's thoughts, his face full of panic and anxiety.
"It's nothing big, just some thoughts left by our ancestors and some research summaries on classics."
"I'm thinking of putting it away. Why not put it in the Ministry of Revenue to help my colleagues improve their efficiency? It would be even better if it could improve and predict taxation and natural disasters."
"We can't just stand still and fail to live up to the taxes paid by the people of the world."
Zhao Zheng, who was hiding his thoughts, of course saw through it but didn't say anything. While explaining, he frowned as if there was some difficulty involved.
"Yes, yes! Of course! That's good."
"We eat the emperor's salary and share his worries. The common people are also the parents of us who provide us with food and clothing."
Zhou Xian, who was afraid that Zhao Zheng was implying that he was guilty but was also greedy for the holy truth, naturally hurried to speak, and nodded while trying to suppress the trembling of the mixed two emotions.
"I really admire Lord Zhao's broad-mindedness!"
"It would be a pity if these holy principles were to remain buried forever, just like a pearl covered in dust."
However, the word "foreknowledge" in Zhao Zheng's words just now was so tempting that it overturned the balance in Zhou Xian's heart in just a few breaths.
After praising Zhao Zheng's vision, he immediately turned to the sacred principles on the blackboard.
"Lord Zhao! I may not have any awareness, but I definitely still care about the people of this world!"
Listening to the inexplicable passion in this sentence, Zhao Zheng almost thought that he had misjudged the person. Fortunately, he made a sharp turn immediately.
"Master Zhao! Did you... predict something through the Holy Principles? That's why you took out all the Holy Principles and prepared to help the people of the world overcome the difficulties in advance?"
On the slope of life, as long as you don't give up climbing and want to make a difference, you will constantly encounter forks in the road. One of them is your inner persistence, nothing else.
One is like Zhou Xian, who placed foreign objects along the way.
And this external object is divided into two ends, which is another fork in the road regarding desires and ideals.
The other end is closer to fantasy and the mysterious.
Zhou Xian is at this end and is also the choice of many people.
At this moment, the presence of Saint Zhao Zheng in disguise, coupled with the two words of foreknowledge just now, undoubtedly urged Zhou Xian to go deeper.
Therefore, before Zhou Xian could wait for Zhao Zheng to answer, he already felt that Zhao Zheng's whole body seemed to be emitting golden light.
Slowly, true faith appeared in his eyes.
If he believes, then he exists.
"Can't say."
Faced with this question, Zhao Zheng naturally nodded and shook his head, and only wrote the three words "you understand" on his forehead but did not say it.
The fact was not what he predicted, but what he planned.
"The secret cannot be leaked."
"I understand! Of course, the secret cannot be revealed directly!"
Zhou Xian understood Zhao Zheng's hint and finally couldn't "pretend" any longer. All he could see were Zhao Zheng and the writing on the blackboard that Zhao Zheng had just written.
"How about it, how far can you understand?"
"I am ashamed that I only know the basics and can't use the treasure."
Now that you have seen the magical power, why don’t you learn it?
Zhao Zheng thought of these eight words, then looked at the blackboard he had written from beginning to end. He went from being able to write annotations to only being able to make a few points, and he shook his head and smiled bitterly.
To remember the general meaning of these nouns, I have to rely on the cheating loopholes left by jumping back and forth when I first got the puppet.
No matter how deep the lesson was, he could only stare at the blackboard in a daze. He also wanted to learn.
But the expressions and movements on his face and the deliberate forced turn just now looked different in Zhou Xian's eyes.
Modesty! Obviously modesty!
You just admitted that you can predict the future!
Zhou Xian thought again, there are so many saints in Zhao Sheng Mansion, and each saint became a saint through different causes. Doesn’t that mean there are many ways to become a saint in Zhao Sheng Mansion?
And the most important thing is that, at the moment, this information is still just a shadow to others. Others only know it roughly, but he has already confirmed it!
The sacred principles he learned at the Academy of Human Sciences and copied were a collection of countless paths, but the path given to the Ministry of Households was obviously very clear!
"Comrade Zhou Xian, let me explain to you..."
"who!"
Just when Zhou Xian was extremely excited, the man who had handed him the account book but forgot to explain to him how to calculate it came over.
Zhou Xian, who was so nervous that he could hardly see anything, subconsciously began to nervously protect the gold mountain he had just discovered.
It was not until he saw who was coming that he finally came to his senses and realized that he had lost his composure.
"It's okay, you go first, I'll explain it to Master Zhou."
Zhao Zheng tried to smooth things over, and the visitor naturally left with peace of mind.
This action made Zhou Xian excited again.
Could it be that Lord Zhao...
Zhou Xian felt that he couldn't find any other reason. Zhao Zheng had explained so much to him, it was obvious that he wanted to use him!
That’s right, I am a typical example of someone who has abandoned darkness and turned to light!
It is the best candidate for a reason!
"Master Zhao!"
"Master Zhou, don't get too excited. From this to this, the first half is fine, and I can still explain it one, two, three, but as it goes on, I can't help you much."
"Master Zhao is so modest!"
"Hey! But...Since Lord Zhou is so enthusiastic, I see that you obviously have some experience with the first half, so how about letting Lord Zhou be in charge of these two blackboards?"
Seeing that it was almost done, Zhao Zheng continued to persuade Zhou Xian patiently while putting his hands behind his back and holding him tighter and tighter until Zhou Xian was almost pressed against the blackboard.
call!call!
"Leave it to me!"
When it was Zhou Xian's turn, his brain went blank when he heard what Zhao Zheng said.
Looking at the blackboard so close to me, I felt that it was so wide, so big, and the pressure it gave me was so strong.
It was not until Zhao Zheng pulled him back to normal position that he noticed that he had been too close.
"Yes, I'll leave it to you. I just happen to have some other things to do in the Ministry of Industry and cannot be away for the time being."
"I am relieved to leave the task of imparting these researches to the Ministry of Revenue, Mr. Zhou. If there are any difficulties, Mr. Zhou can come to me to discuss them. Is Mr. Zhou willing to help me take on this burden?"
"Yes! Of course I do!"
"No... I don't dare to discuss it. I'm asking for your advice! I'm asking for your advice!"
Zhou Xian immediately thought of what those treacherous ministers had discussed at the gathering in the courtyard just now, about the possible wrongdoings that Zhao Zheng might have caused in the Ministry of Works.
'Lord Zhao is very magnanimous. Not only does he have no intention of punishing them, he is even thinking about them right now. It is obvious that he hopes they can change their ways and that is why he is unwilling to take action. But they don't know how to repay him!
