The gentlemen are touting each other, and the black-clad officials are here again! Everyone immediately fell silent, quietly waiting for the black-clothed official to summon them. They all wish he could call his name.

"Which gentleman is named Wang Jun? Wang Jun who wrote "Ximen Leopard Zhiye"! The black-clothed official asked loudly.

When everyone heard this, they all looked at Wang Jun, who was sitting in the corner and had just been ridiculed by everyone, with very complicated eyes.

Wang Jun woke up like a dream, and hurriedly got up and saluted: "Down there is Wang Jun, what do you command?" ”

"Mr. Tsunashi of the county guard will meet in the study, please come with me!" The black-clothed official replied.

"Thank you, please lead the way!" Wang Jun said, straightened his chest, and in the eyes of everyone's envy, jealousy and hatred, he went with the black-clothed official.

When the princess saw that Montenegro was going to see a guest, she retreated to the inner house with interest, and Montenegro summoned Xiao He to meet Wang Jun together.

After a while, Wang Jun came and saluted Xiao He and Montenegro respectively. Wang Jun had seen Xiao He a few times, but it was the first time he had seen Montenegro, he didn't think that this person as young as himself was the county guard, but he wondered why this young man sat at the top of Lord Changshi.

Xiao He introduced: "This is the county guard of Tao County, the general of Montenegro!" ”

Wang Jun showed an incredible expression on his face, gave another salute, and said: "General Montenegro has a sword Hun Da Dan Yu, and he is powerful in the world, and the poems "Chasing Shan Yu on a Snowy Night" and "When is the Bright Moon" have long been sung all over the world. I thought he must be a Confucian general with both civil and military skills, but I really didn't expect it to be as young as us. It's better to be famous than to meet! ”

"This is the study, Mr. Wang doesn't need to be polite! But sit down and have a cup of tea?! Montenegro said with a smile.

The three of them sat down, and Montenegro poured a cup of tea for everyone.

Xiao He said: "The general has good eyesight, and among the soldiers who came to enlist, I admired Wang Jun's literary brilliance and talent the most. There is also a young man named Chen Ping, who is even more clever and changeable, and his mouth is like a river, but it is a pity that he ran back a few days ago! ”

"Chen Ping?" Montenegro was shocked when he heard this name, although he knew Chen Ping's name, he knew very little about the young Chen Ping, only knew that he had a bad reputation for stealing his sister-in-law, but it was not the same person. How could Montenegro let go of such a talent, and hurriedly asked Xiao Hedao: "Even if there is such a talented person, he should have recommended it to Ben Taishou a long time ago, do you know who Chen Ping is?" ”

"I only know that he is from Yangwu County. It's too late to ask for anything else! It's my fault! I'll go back and check the check-in and biography he registered when he checked into the library! Xiao He hurriedly apologized.

"Lord County Guard, although Chen Ping and the grass people have only been together for a few days, we have hit it off at first sight and have a deep friendship. Before leaving, he told me that his home was in Humu Township, Yangwu County. Wang Jun said, and told him about his relationship with Chen Ping again.

"Good! Now that you know his hometown, you can definitely find him! It's not too late to visit another day. Montenegro breathed a sigh of relief and said to Wang Jun: "I read the story you wrote, it is very exciting, very readable, and educational. Exactly what I wanted! I hope you can rewrite this story into the vernacular, so that the people of the world can understand it, and then let the painter draw the whole story, carve it into a carved plate, and print it into a book, and use it to educate the people of the world. Would you like to? ”

"I would, I didn't expect adults to ask us to write stories, and we had such long-term plans. Grass people are willing to serve adults! Wang Jun replied happily.

"Good! Wang Junbai is a first-class duke, served as the editor-in-chief of the book, and the rank is 300 stones, and the book "Ximen Leopard Zhiye" bought the copyright for 100 gold. After you make changes, let the artist draw a comic strip according to your storyline. If you see which artist is most satisfying to you, he is your deputy editor-in-chief. Tell other scholars, just use "Ximen Leopard Zhiye" as a model to write a wonderful story, and the government will buy it back with 100 gold! Montenegro said.

"No! Wang Jun is willing to serve adults! Wang Jun happily saluted Montenegro.

Montenegro ordered someone to take the official uniform and the headscarf symbolizing the prince, and said to Wang Jun: "Congratulations to the prince!" The corresponding reward, Xiao Changshi will handle it according to the law, you go back to the library first, I will let Xiao Changshi go to the library, bow to the lord in public and announce the order! ”

"No!" The two of them answered.

Montenegro immediately called the meatloaf and told him to immediately arrange two capable people to go to Humu Township, Yangwu County, to find Chen Ping, and not to disturb him, but to observe secretly. Report any news immediately. After explaining everything, I was relieved.

Truckloads of books and papers were sent from Tao County to all parts of China, and money and grain also flowed into Tao County. With money and food, all kinds of projects were carried out, and this winter, the whole Tao County was in full swing. In order to encourage newly settled male and female slaves to marry and start a family, Montenegro developed nearly 10,000 small courtyard houses, which were sold in installments to the new Qin people who had newly formed families. This move attracted a large number of Qi Chu civilians to settle in Taocheng.

Spring has just come, and the largest textile workshop in China has started in Tao County! Merchants carried books and paper by trucks to various parts of China, and from the northern counties they brought white cotton, but woven into soft cotton cloth and shipped to various places. In the year since the Qin State recovered Tao County, the city and population have doubled, and the Jishui Wharf has been unprecedentedly busy! It has also led to the prosperity of the local shipbuilding industry, and hotels and inns have sprung up! Taocheng has become the largest commercial market in China.

In the blink of an eye, on February 15, spring flowers bloomed, and willows and poplars began to sprout. The next day was the Qin State's Ploughing Festival, and the county guards should take the lead in cultivating a small piece of land, and the county guard's wife would also gather the wives and wives of the subordinate officials to weave a piece of cloth herself. Single women also go to the mulberry orchard outside the city to pick the latest tender leaves and feed the silkworm babies. This day has gradually developed into people going out for spring outings and outings. Single men and women can also take the opportunity to go on a blind date and find a match.

This was supposed to be an opportunity for county officials to gain fame, but Montenegro didn't like it! Then he asked Xiao He: "Does the Qin Law have provisions that the county guard must personally preside over the opening ceremony?" ”

Xiao He was already proficient in the Qin Law at this time, and replied, "The Qin Law does not stipulate it!" This is just the etiquette system of the Zhou Dynasty, and after a long time, it has become a custom. ”

"In that case, let you preside over the ploughing ceremony in my place. I don't want to show up! Montenegro said.

At lunchtime, the princess also expressed her reluctance to participate in the weaving activity, and insisted on going outside the city to pick mulberries, and asked people to buy a dustpan of freshly hatched silkworm treasures, as well as bamboo baskets and small wooden hooks for mulberry picking. Montenegro asked Haru with the child to replace the county guard's wife and gather the wives of various officials. Let the princess go out to pick mulberries in autumn, summer, and winter.

When she got up early in the morning, the princess put on a brand-new cotton flower dress, wore light cotton shoes on her feet, and tied a small flower cloth with a bun on her head. The ears are wearing a pair of beautiful pearl earrings. Turning around in front of Montenegro, he asked, "Is it pretty?" Like a beautiful village girl? ”

"You're the prettiest in what you wear! It's just a pair of pearls on your ears, worth hundreds of gold, and a discerning person will be exposed at a glance! Montenegro said.

The princess took off all her jewels and asked, "What now?" ”

"Now, you are the most beautiful village girl in the world!" Montenegro sighed.

When the princess heard this, she was very happy, kissed Montenegro on the face, and said, "It's cheap for you!" Married the most beautiful princess and kissed the most beautiful village girl! ”

Montenegro also wore a brand new blue cotton dress! Immediately became a rural youth who had just put on new clothes. In summer, autumn and winter, they also put on cotton clothes and take off jewelry. These four stunning village girls got together, and I don't know how many young talents they will be fascinated by.

The princess and the other four hurriedly finished eating breakfast, and then carried a small bamboo basket in one hand and a small wooden hook in the other, and went out together.

Black Mountain and Meatloaf, Meng Hao, and Brother A Hei followed behind them with a few plainclothes guards. There were also a few guards who always walked ahead of them.

Today is an important holiday of the year, and the whole county is closed. The people put on new clothes and took to the streets, which was very lively. The princess and the other four of them were very conspicuous when they went out of the south of the city. People were all fascinated by these four pretty girls, and some forgot to look at the road and fell into the ditch on the side of the road; There are also gorgeously dressed talents who crash into the farmer's dung bucket in front; There were a few girls dressed up in fancy, embarrassed to go other ways; Many husbands and wives come out together, and the husband looks stupid, and he doesn't feel it when his wife pinches his arm.

The princess and the other four ignored the fiery gazes cast around them, and talked and laughed along the way, and made trouble, and soon came to a mulberry forest three miles south of the city. There are already many young girls picking mulberries in the mulberry forest, and the songs are coming and going. Single youths also wander the woods! When you see the girl you like, you go over to sing together, or help pick mulberries, and you can leave each other's addresses and come to the daycare media to propose! There are also on-the-spot exchange of love tokens and mutual complaints. The princess and the other four came to a mulberry tree, hooked the mulberry branch with a small wooden hook with one hand and pulled it down, and gently picked off the young leaves with the other hand and put them into the bamboo basket. Montenegro and the others had no choice but to keep an eye on them nearby.

A girl's loud singing voice came from the mulberry forest:

"The mountains of mulberry leaves are ready to be picked,

The girls who pick mulberry are all beautiful.

My brother has the heart to come to the mulberry garden,

Why don't you have the courage to help?

Immediately a young man also sang:

"The girl who picks mulberry is fair-skinned, like a cold potato peeled;

My brother wanted to step forward and take a bite, but he was afraid that his sister would roll his eyelids. ”

Just now the girl sang again:

"You should not accept the bamboo, and you should not keep the bamboo shoots;

The flowers do not stretch out their hands in front of them, and they say that there is no oars to look at the flowers. ”

The singing in the mulberry forest is like the red thread in the hands of the old man, tying a pair of single men and women together! Only the princess and the other four people really came to pick mulberries, and after a while, she had already picked small semi-blue leaves.

There were four stunning beauties here that slowly spread, and after a while, dozens of young talents gathered around. Everyone is gearing up and eager to try!

There were a few sons dressed in silk brocade, standing beside Montenegro and others, staring at the princess and the other four beautiful "village girls", A said: "These four village girls are so beautiful, we just happened to be one by one." Which of you goes up first to confess, and if it succeeds, I will give him thirty gold! ”

B said, "Where are these four village girls!" It's like a fairy in the sky, I go up to confess, in case I am rejected, I will be sad for the rest of my life! ”

The four of them discussed and discussed, but no one dared to step forward.
