Chapter 5 A Little Picture Book of Harmony and Joy
【5th - A small album of harmony and joy】On the new role of the boss
The vast mountains are undulating and overlapping. The people only know that there are bandits in the mountains, but they don’t know that the bandits are divided into different gangs. Moreover, Zhao Yue, who made them most terrified, never went down the mountain, let alone burning, killing, looting.
"What should I do next?" Lu Zhui asked.
"Let him go." Zhao Yue knocked on the table, "Even if he intervenes now, the portrait has been covered in the vast city, and you and I can't guess what the government wants to do this time." So the safest way is to stay in the mountains and watch the changes. At this moment, only the reckless man will rush down the mountain.
Lu Zhui nodded, "There are brothers in Cangmang City. Once there is any new trend, you should receive the news soon."
"It smells so good." When passing by the kitchen, Mu Qingshan stopped and couldn't help but look in.
"Master." A man dressed as a servant was burning a fire beside the stove. When he saw him, he stood up and greeted him.
"Why is it you, Aunt Wang?" Mu Qingshan had some doubts when he knew that he was the person next to Shang Yunze.
"Aunt Wang is going to buy vegetables." The servant smiled, "My housekeeper thinks the food in this mansion is too light, so he asked me to make a few other dishes."
"So that's it." Master Mu swallowed.
Inside the study, Wen Liunian sat at the table with a thoughtful look on his face.
"Hey, where is the Lord Shangbao?" Mu Qingshan pushed the door and came in. "I heard from the yamen runners that the lord was discussing with him about the suppression of bandits."
"There is no hurry to suppress the bandits." Wen Liunian said, "Now the disciples of Tengyun Castle have been ambushed in the city. If the bandits do not come, the people in the city will naturally be at peace and happiness. If they come, they will take the opportunity to catch them all. Whether they come or not, Cangmang City will not suffer any losses."
"That's right, but if the bandits don't come down for three or five years, wouldn't the Tengyun Castle Lord always live in the government office?" Mu Qingshan frowned.
"It's okay." Wen Liunian said, "The Lord of Shangbao will bring his own food."
Mu Qingshan paused for a moment and said, "I mean, it doesn't seem good to bother others like this."
"If you don't want to live in the government office, then go to the mountains to suppress the bandits." Wen Liunian put down his wolf hair, "After all, before the bandits are completely eliminated, the Lord Shangbao will definitely not, and he cannot leave Cangmang City." Zhao Yue's portrait has been posted. Logically speaking, if he is really a bandit, he must have received the news in the mountains. In other words, Liangzi has already formed. As the person who proposed, if Shang Yunze leaves now, then what will happen in the city in the future will be no one can tell you.
Mu Qingshan's eyes were full of admiration.
This new adult has a great ability to eat big players!
However, Shang Yunze was not in a hurry to go back. First, he was considered a trustworthy person, and it would be fine if he didn't agree before. Now that he agreed to suppress the bandits, he would definitely not withdraw from the middle and abandon the people. Second, the government office was not far from Duanyun Mountain, and it took less than three days to go back and forth, so if something happened in Tengyun Castle, he could still know at the first time, which was no different from living at home.
Besides, there are not so many nerds in Tengyun Castle.
The Lord of Shangbao collected his sword and fell back to the ground, feeling very good.
Lord Wen was in a good mood because he discovered a new purpose of Zhao Yue's portrait.
Mu Qingshan:...
After painting countless portraits, Cao Dai was already familiar with Zhao Yue's facial features and could draw people vividly without Wen Liunian's description! So in the afternoon, he had already drawn... After drying, he could have a large stack!
Shang Yunze is using it to hold the tree in the yard and smile.
"Not bad." Lord Wen was very satisfied and ordered the yamen runners to hand over the portraits to the other painters, so that they could speed up their copying.
Shang Yunze hasn't laughed so happily for a long time, so he generously stated that all painters' wages will be doubled by Tengyunbao.
"Thank you, the Fort Lord." Wen Liunian quickly accepted this favor. Although the Master Zhuiying Palace had given him a lot of money before leaving for Cangmang City, he had recently repaired the Good Hall in the city and helped the poor neighbors. There was not much money left, so he still had to save a little.
If you have a skin, it will be thicker. Lord Wen was in a happy mood and turned to the study to check the artist's progress.
Because of the doubled wages, the artist's efficiency is naturally extremely high, and he was still writing as if he was late at night! At noon the next day, he had already drawn all the numbers, and even had more than a dozen more pictures.
"I'm sorry, everyone." Lord Wen was very satisfied.
In the afternoon of the same day, these portraits were sent out. Of course, in order to avoid being pulled home by the people, Lord Wen specially set up a large wooden board in the place with the most crowded people, pasted the portraits neatly, and sent troops to guard them. He specifically told everyone not to rush to tear them up first, as there will be a portable version in the future, which is for viewing only.
Of course, in order to avoid the people not being able to understand, Wen Liunian specially hired some scholars and stood in front of the wooden board to tell the stories one by one to the people. So later, people brought small stools to grab the front row early in the morning every day, so as not to be squeezed to the end, not only would they not be able to see the handsome face of the mysterious man, but they would not also hear what the teacher was saying.
More than a month later, a batch of brand new brochures were finally printed by the government and sent to the people in the city from door to door. Not only do they contain portraits of Zhao Yue, but they also have many short stories of virtues, teaching the people to respect the elderly and love the young, be honest and trustworthy, avoid extravagance and frugality, be gentle and respectful, worry about the world first, and be happy after the world is happy.
For a moment, unprecedented harmony and joy appeared in Cangmang City.
Lord Wen continued to work hard and relied on it, and organized a large number of young and strong laborers to dig canals outside the city to divert water, turn the ground and fertilize, hoping to turn a large area of barren land into farmland. Before, the people thought that there were bandits on the mountain outside the city, and they would die at some time. In addition, the previous officials and masters also only wanted to protect themselves, so everyone followed the people and calculated the meal, so naturally they would not have too many ideas about the future. But this time, under the influence of Wen Liunian, or under the influence of Wen Liunian and Zhao Yue, they realized that life would be more enjoyable - not to mention that there were rumors in the city that the lord of Tengyun Castle had been invited down the mountain to quell the bandits, and many people had seen him in the government.
I felt hope and motivated a lot. In less than a month, a large area of wasteland outside the city had been fertilized. After only one winter, I would sow grains in the spring of the following year.
"Is it okay for the boss?" A group of little brothers were very worried on the morning cliff of Cangmang Mountain.
I have been practicing martial arts calmly in the back mountain, so why don’t I even eat food?
"Did you look at those drawings?" asked the younger brother A.
"I saw it, why do I think it's pretty good?" said the younger brother, "What I saw is very touching."
"That's it." The little brother Jia was confused, "I don't know what the boss was angry about." Chao Muya had obviously done nothing before, but he was rumored to be a villain who was burned, killed and looted, and he had never seen him so angry.
"The Second Head!" Seeing that Landing chased the mountain, my younger brother greeted him one after another.
Zhao Yue stopped his move and walked towards him with a big strode, his face dark.
Lu Zhuinen laughed, "This time the government has not made any new tricks, so the boss doesn't have to worry."
"When will he make a fuss?" Zhao Yue gritted his teeth.
"Actually, as far as I see, the government's goal this time may not be to suppress bandits." Lu Zhui walked down the mountain with him, "just wanted to use his power to clear the customs of the people. Now the sound of books in the Cangmang City is full of praise, and everyone is proud of being respectful and courteous, which is also a contribution from the great boss."
Zhao Yue:...
"And there should be a good show in the near future." Lu Zhui smiled.
"What does it mean?" Zhao Yue asked.
"There are many bandits in the mountains, and they all have all kinds of tempers." Lu Zhui said, "Since they are bandits, they are naturally afraid of the local governments with strong soldiers and horses. Now this new magistrate is obviously not a good man, so he will definitely not let the bandits cause trouble. Therefore, the best way is to kill them before they have completely grown."
"You mean the rest of the people will act?" Zhao Yue frowned.
"For us, this is a great thing." Lu Zhui said, "There are many flies at the doorstep, and it is not bad to be able to be killed by the government." There was another sentence that was not said, which was exchanged for portraits...benefits.
In the Cangmang City Government Office, a large table of banquets was being set up lively. The chicken, duck, fish and meat were very rich, and there was even a jar of wine.
"Master has a drink?" Shang Yunze asked, "This is the best Zhuyeqing."
"Thank you, the lord of the fort, but I am really not good at drinking." Mu Qingshan frowned and embarrassed.
Then I have to drink even more... The corner of the Lord of Shangbao raised his mouth, "What if I only have this cup?"
It is hard to refuse the kindness, and the government office has indeed owe a lot of favors to Tengyun Castle recently, so Mu Qingshan still took the wine glass, "Then I'll respect the lord of the Castle."
Shang Yunze was in a good mood and touched him gently.
Wen Liunian sat aside to eat. Although she looked slow, she couldn't help but put down her chopsticks and her appetite was really not small. Shang Yunze sighed in his heart, no wonder the Lord of Qin proposed in his letter that he would send beef, rice, flour and oil to the government office on a monthly basis. According to this method of eating, most people could not afford it.
After drinking a cup of bamboo leaf green, Mu Qingshan's face turned red and his reaction became a little slow.
It was really a drink of drunkenness. Shang Yunze laughed silently and looked at him with great interest.
Mu Qingshan's eyes were shiny, but he was never excited before.
Shang Yunze was active and was about to take the opportunity to tease him again, but countless signal flares suddenly emerged from the air outside the city.
