#1079 - Chapter 1079 It's not a natural disaster, it's a man-made disaster

"What? That brat dares not to come back?" Marquis Liehuo's beard bristled with anger after hearing this.

"Send a few people to bring him back to me! Tell him that if he doesn't come back, he doesn't need to come back ever again!"

The servants had no choice but to rush to find Lieyan.

"This! Did Father really say that?" Lieyan asked softly, standing beside the forest outside the house.

"Yes! Young Master. The Marquis is very angry, please go back quickly," the servant said with a mournful face.

"This…, alas!" Lieyan sighed and had no choice but to obey.

So he returned to the house, briefly explained the situation, and bid farewell before leaving.

In the following months, Lieyan came to find Yaotao almost every day.

Although they had not yet made substantial progress, they had already pledged their love for life.

Blue Star Era, Nata Calendar, March 1289.

Cheng Bang returned to the capital of the Jin Kingdom, Jin Di, to meet with Jin Ji.

However, he changed his appearance, so Jin Ji did not recognize him as the Immortal Master.

"This Agong, you say that the Jin Kingdom has a great disaster, what do you mean by this?" Jin Ji asked.

"The people in all directions know that the King of Jin loves his character. This is very dangerous," Cheng Bang said.

"What do you mean by this?" Jin Ji frowned.

"I once heard that you like to eat salted fish from La Di in the south, so the Marquis of La Di sends you a 'dou' every month, and this has been going on for several years, is this the case?" Cheng Bang asked.

"Indeed, this is the case," Jin Ji admitted frankly.

"Then do you know that now the people of La Di are finding it very difficult to eat salted fish? Even in the rivers there, it is now very difficult to catch white fish suitable for making salted fish," Cheng Bang said.

"Really? Could it be that there has been a natural disaster there?" Jin Ji had never heard of this.

"It is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster!" Cheng Bang said.

"A man-made disaster? Could it be that the Marquis of La Di is bullying his own people? That's impossible, right?" Jin Ji didn't quite believe it.

"It is not. The real culprit is not in La Di," Cheng Bang shook his head and said.

"Then where is it?" Jin Ji was confused.

"In Jin Di," Cheng Bang replied.

"In Jin Di? Who is it? Please tell me, I will definitely punish him severely!" Jin Ji said with certainty.

"You can't punish him. Although he has committed a crime, he cannot be sanctioned at all," Cheng Bang shook his head.

"How can there be someone in the world who cannot be sanctioned? Tell me, and I will surely sanction him!" Jin Ji didn't believe it.

"It's difficult! This person is high above, like the sun in the sky. He is too hot and too dazzling, no one has such ability," Cheng Bang was still shaking his head, keeping him in suspense.

"Agong is joking. I am the King of Jin, no one can be higher than me," Jin Ji smiled, a confident smile.

"Then what if this person is you, Your Majesty?" Cheng Bang asked.

"Me??" Jin Ji looked dazed.

"That's right," Cheng Bang nodded.

"Impossible! I can't even eat one fish a day, how could I make the salted fish of La Di disappear?" Jin Ji didn't believe it.

"The nobles all know that Your Majesty loves to eat salted fish, and the nobles also know that Your Majesty has noble character. Then, people of noble character naturally need to eat salted fish. Therefore, in addition to supplying you, the salted fish of La Di must also be supplied to all the nobles. In that case, do you think there is still enough salted fish in La Di to eat?" Cheng Bang analyzed.

"This…" Jin Ji was speechless.

If the salted fish of one place is to be supplied to all the nobles, then it is obviously not enough to eat.

"Not only is it not enough to eat, but the people of La Di are now suffering unspeakably in order to catch more salted fish," Cheng Bang said.

"There is such a thing!" Jin Ji also learned something new.

Just liking to eat salted fish can cause such a big disaster, it's simply unimaginable.

"So, do you still think that cherishing your character is a good thing now?" Cheng Bang asked.

"This Agong, if we don't promote character, then the people will be even more at a loss!" Jin Ji understood a little, but still didn't quite understand.

"It depends on whether you love your own character more, or whether you hope that everyone can love their own character," Cheng Bang said.

"I don't quite understand," Jin Ji shook his head.

"What you promote will become the shackles that bind the people. Therefore, if you promote character, then character will become the shackles that bind the people. If you want your people to promote character like you, you must not promote character," Cheng Bang explained.

"Then what should I do?" Jin Ji asked.

"You should pay more attention to your people than to yourself, you should promote the people more than you promote your own character," Cheng Bang replied.

"I am enlightened!" Jin Ji immediately woke up and bowed.

"I travel around, and I saw a woman in the northern Yan Di, named Yaotao. Her skin is as white as congealed fat, and her color is like beautiful jade, what does Your Majesty think?" Cheng Bang asked.
