When it was completely dark, the convoy finally arrived at the village that Li Guangbi mentioned.

The village is very small, with only a few dozen families in total. Looking around, you can almost see the end of the village from the beginning.

Although the village is very small, the protection is very good. I saw stone walls all around the village, and thorny vines were covered with vines. However, it was early spring and the vines had not yet sprouted spring buds, so they looked a little dry, giving people the illusion of weak defense.

Guo Ziyi looked at it from a distance, and felt a little curious. He couldn't help but say, "The stone wall of this height is completely useless and cannot prevent adults from climbing. Since he can't resist climbing, why do you have to make great efforts to build it..."

Yang Yuhuan lifted the curtain, looked at it from a distance, and said curiously: "Yes, this wall does look useless."

Then Princess Linglong, as well as the two little maids Doudou and Lingdang, also exposed their heads from the carriage and pointed at the stone wall from afar to discuss.

Suddenly, Wang Yue's voice sounded in the convoy and said with a smile: "Do you think the people in this small village are fools? The lower officials just heard a few words and found that you and your wife don't seem to understand the people's sentiments."

Guo Ziyi turned her head and looked at the young county magistrate who came from a wealthy family and said deliberately: "You are born in the Wang family of Langya. You have been almost in a wealthy way since childhood. If you say that we don't understand the people's sentiments, do you understand the people's sentiments?"

But Wang Yuezheng pointed out and said, "The county magistrate asked well, and the Xiaguan really understands this. Although I came from a wealthy family, can't the wealthy people understand the sufferings of the people? The Xiaguan has set his ambitions since he was a child, and I want to..."

"Okay OK!"

Guo Ziyi waved his hand and interrupted, pretending to be arrogant: "Your great principles don't have to be polite every day. I know you have lofty ambitions, and I also know that you want to save all people. You are noble, you sage, you benevolent, and you are philosopher, you are kind and righteous, and you are fraternal. Is it okay?"

"But even if you are so amazing, you can't talk in front of me. Don't forget that I am the magistrate of Lanling County, you are just the magistrate of Lanling County. I am the eldest, you are the second, do you understand the rules?"

"Forget it, why do I tell you this? If you understand the rules, you wouldn't come here to show me a special way, right?"

"Oh, it's really hard to be a boss. Especially with a scholar under his command, his mind is full of twists and turns. He always talks about the big truth, and he doesn't think about whether a martial artist like me can understand it."

Wang Yue was stunned, and his pretty face turned red quickly.

After a long time, I made a difficult decision and said, "Mr. County Magistrate, the official is not going to make a fuss with you. The reason why I came here specifically is to tell you about the defense of this small village. I think our Lanling should be like this place so that every village can build a circle of stone walls... County Magistrate, the official is now telling you about the benefits of stone walls..."

But Guo Ziyi glared again and said, "What are you talking about? Did you tell me? As the top martial arts scholar in the world, do I need defense in the place where I am in charge? I worry about eating radish and eating salty radish, just be your own county magistrate."

Puff!

Yang Yuhuan and Linglong burst into laughter at the same time.

Both women knew that Guo Ziyi was deliberately pretending to be rude and looked arrogant and unreasonable, but her real hidden intention was to stimulate Wang Yue to make more proactive comments.

Literature has problems, and a noble literati have problems. The more rude you are, the more he wants to teach you to be a master.

Of course, there must be a prerequisite. First of all, this literati must be sincere. The reason why he wants to turn you into a person in his mind is because he has great hope for you.

For example, Wang Yue is like this.

This young county magistrate had great ambitions in his heart, but he knew that he was unable to change anything in the troubled times, so he longed for Guo Ziyi to become a towering tree.

He is a gentle Confucian scholar.

He is also a Confucian scholar who inherits true Confucianism.

"My magistrate, please apologize to you first. My tone just now was not good, which made you feel a little unhappy. This is a mistake for the lower official, and he will definitely change it in the future."

"But the county magistrate, the minister must tell you about this small village. I really highly recommend the defense of this village, and I think this defense should be followed."

I was so tired of it that I said it again, and my tone was very gentle, like a good teacher who taught me.

If Guo Ziyi continues to pretend to be rude at this time, it will be a bit too sorry for his sincerity.

But his rude character cannot collapse and he must be maintained at all times. Therefore, someone needs to smooth things out at this time to let Wang Yue have a natural way out.

But who will cooperate?

The woman around Guo Ziyi!

Sure enough, Yang Yuhuan spoke gently and asked with a smile: "Mr. Wang's tone is so sincere and sounds strong. Obviously, you will not give up until you achieve your goal. You must let your county magistrate listen to the truth, right?"

Wang Yue's face was solemn, but his posture was extremely respectful, and he politely said: "Mrs. Guo is right. The subordinate must let the county magistrate listen to the truth."

Yang Yuhuan nodded and smiled again: "It can be seen that you really admire the situation in this small village."

"Yes, the officials highly respect it!" Wang Yue's face became more and more solemn.

Yang Yuhuan felt that the preparation was almost done, so he suddenly reached out and gently grabbed Guo Ziyi's ear, deliberately pretending to be angry, and scolded: "Can you reckless man, can you restrain your temper in the future? County Magistrate Wang has sincere, why don't you listen to him to reason..."

Guo Ziyi was pulled into her ears, and her face seemed to be red and embarrassed, and she kept saying, "Daughter-in-law, can you save me some face?"

Yang Yuhuan became stronger and stronger, and said angrily: "If you want to save face, you can listen to others' opinions. If you dare not listen, don't blame me for catching your face."

Guo Ziyi shivered and said hurriedly: "Listen, I will definitely listen."

Yang Yuhuan loosened his fingers, gently let go of Guo Ziyi's ears, then smiled and looked at Wang Yue, and said with apologetic tone: "Mr. Wang, don't go to your heart. You should know this guy's temperament. It's okay to let him charge in the battle. It's harder to let him listen to the truth than to reach the sky. The girl Linglong once begged to let him study, but as soon as he picked up the book, he took a nap and went to bed..."

Wang Yue hurriedly bowed and said, "Although this is the case, due to his personality, please do not blame the county magistrate too much. He will do his best to protect him after he is appointed."

Yang Yuhuan said 'um' and said, "My sister Linglong and I are female scrolls. It is not convenient to listen to your government affairs, so let him follow you around."

As he said that, he kicked Guo Ziyi out of the carriage. Yang Yuhuan had a pretty face and deliberately pretended to be cold and stern: "Let's listen to the truth well, and you won't be able to learn it and come back."

Guo Ziyi said twice in disappointment.

Wang Yue hurriedly led the way forward and said, "Mr. County Magistrate, can we go somewhere else?"

This young man with simple mind thought he was helping Guo Ziyi smooth things over.

Guo Ziyi nodded with the flow and muttered, "Okay, okay, my wife has given the order anyway. I am not afraid of anyone in this world, the only thing I am afraid of is my wife. You are a kid who can make my wife the backstage for you..."

Wang Yue was stunned for a moment, then a surprise arose in his heart, and he said intimately: "So you are also afraid of people."

This simple Confucian scholar was surprised and felt that his life would be better in the future.

If you meet the county magistrate again, he will not listen to advice.

I must ask the county magistrate’s wife to support me...

...

The silly Confucian scholar is very cute.

But this Confucian scholar is not stupid, he has real talents and knowledge available in his heart.

"Sir, the height of this stone wall is about six feet, and one zhang can be divided into nine feet and nine, and six feet is already a good height."

"Maybe in your opinion, six feet is nothing. After all, you have the courage to be a thousand men and can climb high walls with great ease... But have you ever thought that all the people in the world can compare with you?"

Wang Yue's opening remarks are very simple, and he is not as good as a scholar. Instead, he starts from reality and even makes an analogy with Guo Ziyi's situation.

Guo Ziyi also acted very appropriately, deliberately pretending to be confused and looked at the stone wall not far away, saying, "Even if others can't compare with me, this stone wall will still be in trouble."

As he said that, he took a few steps forward, reached out and gestured for a moment, and said, "Look, how high is this?"

Wang Yue seemed to have expected him to be like this, and smiled and said, "Xiaoguan knows what you mean. You mean that ordinary people can climb, right?"

Guo Ziyi shouted and said, "No, that's what we mean. So I think you are very annoyed and can't understand why you attach so much importance to it."

Wang Yue still smiled and slowly walked to the stone wall.

He also stretched out his arm and gestured towards the stone wall, and then explained: "The wall is six feet high, only a little taller than an adult. If you raise your hand and stretch it a little, you can hold the wall of the stone wall. Then it will be easy to climb over with it with the force."

"So the county magistrate thinks that this stone wall is meaningless, right?"

"My County Magistrate, your idea has fallen into a misunderstanding."

"If you face this stone wall alone, it is indeed easy to climb and climb over, but have you ever thought that this stone wall is guarding against a single person?"

When Guo Ziyi heard this, he had a vague guess in his heart. However, he did not show it, but continued to pretend to be confused and said, "What does it mean? Can you say it directly? I finally felt a little patient. It is best to say what you have to say immediately."

"good!"

Seeing that he was willing to listen, Wang Yue was extremely pleased and hurriedly said, "Bandits, this stone wall is guarding against the bandits. When the bandits invade the village, the number of people will definitely not be too small..."

"At this point, the officials first need to talk about the situation of the bandits."

"Since ancient times, military books say that if there are ten, they will surround them and five, they will attack them. Although this military strategy refers to siege cities, it is also applicable to describe robbers and robbers."

"For example, the number of bandits exceeds ten times the number of villages, so they have the courage to siege a village in broad daylight. Surrounding a village is the most harmful way for bandits, because their power can easily slaughter villages and destroy households."

"If the number of bandits is only five times more than the village, then the method they use is to attack at night. If they are allowed to siege the village, they do not have the courage to..."

"As for the reason, it is easy to understand. When the people are facing the threat of death, the ruthlessness of the people is also very scary. Kill one is enough, kill two of them and make a profit. If a bandit with five times the strength is surrounded and slaughtered in the village in the daytime, it is easy for the people to fight to death by some people."

When Guo Ziyi heard this, she suddenly asked, "You have said so much, and we probably understand. Could it be that what you want to tell me is that this stone wall is mainly against the bandits attacking the village at night?"

He said that, and then said, "Five times the bandits attack the village at night, and attacking the village means resistance. This stone wall is to resist the bandits of the five times the force, right?"

"If you encounter a bandit of ten times the power, the defense of this stone wall will be useless, because the gap between them is too big, and the defense of the people is meaningless, right?"

Wang Yue was stunned at first, then he was a little happy and said, "The county magistrate can learn from one example."

Guo Ziyi shouted and deliberately pretended to be proud: "My wife often tells me that I am actually very smart."

Wang Yue stood there immediately, and for a long time, he couldn't find the word to answer the conversation.

Fortunately, the Confucian scholar was quick enough to quickly turn the topic to the stone wall and said, "We just said that the height of this stone wall cannot prevent people. That is because there are no people standing on the wall. If there are people standing, they will definitely fight back."

"When a large number of bandits climbed the stone wall, all the people in the village must come out to defend. The scene can be understood as one attack and one defense, which is very similar to a war of siege."

"Can the siege party climb down below, can the siege party allow them to climb easily?"

"By the same reason, even if the stone wall is only six feet long, this height can be condescending."

"Xiaoguan is an analogy, and we are the two of us as an analogy. For example, now you are a thief, and Xiaguan is a villager. When you are about to climb the stone wall, Xiaguan knocks down with a stone in his hand..."

"Mr. County Magistrate, you can imagine who wins and who loses in this kind of situation?"
