Chapter 70: Saints and powerful officials?
"I didn't do anything. I just gave them another chance to survive." Li An said quietly.

"It is almost the end of summer, and it will be the autumn harvest season. Fortunately, the war between the two countries has ended, but many people have died on both sides. Although the people who returned to the fields did not delay the autumn harvest, the seeds planted in the land still need people to carefully cultivate, weed, water and fertilize them. It is not that you will get a harvest as soon as you plant them. Therefore, it is foreseeable that the land will be poor this year."

"These are just the conditions around Kyoto. If it's still like this, what will it be like if it's further away? Did you know that there are slums in Kyoto? My eighteen disciples came from there. There are many more such cases, just take the eunuchs in the imperial palace for example."

"There are probably two thousand eunuchs in the entire palace. But outside the palace, there are many who cannot survive. There are 20,000 people who want to enter the palace after they castrate themselves! Of course, they can't get in, and their lives afterwards."

"Have you ever thought about this? Why did we come to this world? I have heard that those who have broken free from the frozen slumber came to this world to guide and help people develop civilization, pass on the torch, fight natural disasters for the people here, and overcome difficulties."

To be honest, Ang Lee never thought highly of Fan Xian and his mother.

Ye Qingmei came to the mortal world, thinking about the equality of all beings. She invented and created many things and developed commerce, but how much of it really went into the pockets of the people? She created the inner treasury, which is now the royal financial power. She created a monster called the Supervisory Office, which is now just a place for all parties to play games. The rules have not changed at all, and the class is still solidified.

Ye Qingmei was just playing around in the world, moving herself and thinking highly of herself.

She didn't bring about change, she was just a small splash.

And what about Fan Xian? He has so many inheritances and resources, but he is still so naive, because he is kind.

Of course, it's not that kindness is bad. It's just that when everything was settled, he took his family and retired to the mountains, giving up all the fruits of victory. When people look back, the world has not changed at all. He just left behind a story of his own. Even his traces and stories are known to few people!

After witnessing quite a few tragic situations over the past two years, Ang Lee wanted to do something.

Even if you are a grandmaster, you are still weak and can only train some disciples, teach them some new systems and ideas, do your best to improve the productivity of the people, and open up medical disciplines to make people's lives no longer so fragile. Although the impact is still very small, there will always be a time in the future when all this will explode!

"I don't have any big ambitions." Fan Xian shook his head. "I just want everyone around me to live a good life and live a happy life. My thoughts have never changed. I just want to live this hard-earned new life in wealth and health."

Li An knew about Fan Xian's past life, and just now he was just expressing his simple views on this world. He used his limited knowledge to try to understand and find a way for the people.

He is not noble, he just doesn't like suffering.

"I can understand you." Li An nodded and said, "But I also have things I want to do now. If, I mean if, if our paths diverge in the future, I hope you can understand me and don't stop me."

The two souls from another dimension fell silent and sat facing each other in silence.

"Hahahaha," Fan Xian laughed, "So, now that you have become a Grandmaster, your new pursuit is to become a saint like in ancient China?"

Li An also started to laugh, his tone vague, he propped his chin with his right hand and looked at the field ridge not far away, and said: "Is it impossible? I think this pursuit is pretty good. It's tasteful, worthy of me!"

"It's pretty good." Fan Xian affirmed, "But do you have experience? This world is not simple. My mother couldn't change it either. I don't know if it's too late for you."

Li An said in a firm tone: "If you want to do it, just do it. Why is it too late?"

The convoy left. Looking into the distance, Li An seemed to be able to see Fan Xian's back, and he did not look away for a long time.

'Others can protect you for a while, but how can they protect you for a lifetime?'

Hearing the voices of the disciples coming from inside the courtyard, Li An turned around and went back into the courtyard.

Looking at the disciples staring at him, their faces becoming more mature, Li An shouted, "Let's eat!"

As soon as the voice fell, several younger disciples were already swallowing. It was so delicious! This strange thing called seasoning that the teacher had just made was so delicious after adding it to the food!
That’s right, Ang Lee made MSG.

Looking at the disciples who were enjoying their meal, Li An continued, "We'll have a test after we finish eating!"

"Ah!" Suddenly there was a cry of grief in the room.

······
"Every place has its own set of rules. Li An, how can I not understand the story you are telling? If you want to live a stable life, you must have power in your hands!"

Fan Xian said to himself in his heart.

"Officialdom is like a raging sea, dangerous and treacherous. Officials must be distinguished between corrupt officials, and ministers must be distinguished between treacherous ministers, loyal ministers, slanderous ministers and powerful ministers." Fan Xian, who was sitting in the same carriage with Fan Ruoruo and Fan Sizhe, had a colder expression. He ignored the strange looks from his younger brothers and sisters and made up his mind!

"Since you want me to be a minister, then I will be a powerful minister! A powerful minister with power over the government and the country, even the royal family can't do anything to me!"

The carriage drove towards Kyoto, going farther and farther away from the courtyard until it turned into black dots, taking Fan Xian away with him, whose heart was becoming heavy.

Li An didn't know what impact his words would have on Fan Xian. He was busy checking his disciples' schoolwork at the moment!

"Everyone is good and has done a good job on their studies, but I have to single one out for special mention."

In the courtyard, Li An was in a good mood and said with a gratified expression: "That's Little Fifteen, Chen Xiao."

"Chen Xiao has made great progress recently. Although he is still young, his grades have caught up with his older brothers and sisters. Not only that, he has also shown a talent for numbers and business. This is rare and precious. Everyone should learn from him and find their own strengths." Li An encouraged his students, "As the saying goes, everyone has their own shining points. I have decided to cultivate his talent and make him a useful person in the world!"

The other disciples were all looking at Chen Xiao happily. This was the first time the teacher had praised someone like this! Everyone's hands were clapping red, their eyes full of envy.
"Thank you, teacher!" Chen Xiao said shyly. The teacher's gentle words gave him a lot of confidence. He spoke more forcefully. He asked Li An in a happy tone, "Teacher, how are you going to cultivate my talent? Are you going to teach me new books? What do I need to do?"

Li An shook his head cheerfully and said, "No, no, no, you don't have to do anything. I don't plan to teach you any new knowledge from books."

"Teacher, I'm going to give you away!"

"Huh?" Chen Xiao's face was full of question marks.
