Chapter 20: Sir, I would like to ask you to come out of the mountain
Ren Tian was strolling around Nanxian with his hands on his back.
On the main avenue of Nanxian County, several officials stood aside, and the craftsmen were busy there, and they put the green bricks piled up on the side neatly into the ground and arranged them.
The renovation of the road is still in progress, from the main street of Nanxian to the west, the road is full of dust and tatters, and the east side starts along the city wall, but the neat blue brick road is paved neatly.
Although it is still an ordinary road, it is indeed much cleaner and neater than before, at least the dust and cow on it are gone.
A river runs through the city, and in the middle of the river, near a bridge, a group of craftsmen are also busy there, all kinds of materials are already piled aside, and the tavern is already being built vigorously.
The streets are full of people, and it is quite lively.
Ren Tian was satisfied.
As an emperor, the most rewarding thing is nothing more than looking at the joy on the faces of his people and watching his country gradually change.
But at this time, Ren Tian heard a dinging sound in his ears.
"Ding, Mi County's favorability towards Xinguo has decreased."
Ren Tian was stunned for a moment, opened the system panel and saw that in the diplomatic column, Mi County's favorability had indeed dropped by 10 points, it was 50 points before, and now it is only 40 points.
Although the reason was not written, Ren Tian could guess it, and the talks collapsed.
Ren Tian's brows furrowed slightly, and his face was a little unhappy, his first diplomacy failed like this?
He pondered for a moment, and finally decided to wait until tomorrow morning to talk about this matter, because the whole process, only Fang Ren could tell himself when he came back.
"Little Dengzi, where does the middle-aged gentleman I met live when I performed the pro-ploughing ceremony yesterday?"
The little eunuch on the side hurriedly stepped forward: "Your Majesty, this needs to be checked first." ”
"Go look it up."
"Yes."
The two guards behind him immediately went to investigate, and Ren Tian stood on the street of Nanxian with his hands in his hands, looking at the leisurely river.
Although Ren Tian has not yet set up a spy agency like the East Factory and the West Factory, but the new country is his own country after all, and it is quite easy to check a person, and soon, Ren Tian knew the address of the middle-aged man yesterday.
Ren Tian walked towards the outside of Nanxian County.
Going out along the eastern side of Nanxian is a small mountain village with beautiful scenery, lined with green trees, and shepherd boys leading cattle to pass by.
In this mountain village, under a hillside, there is a farmhouse, in front of which some chickens and ducks are raised, and when they see a stranger coming, they immediately quack, and run away.
The servant beside the middle-aged man was busy in the room, and when he saw Ren Tian coming in, he couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty the Emperor." ”
Although he said so, there was no element of respect in the servant's words, and he did not salute, after all, he is not a new country now, and if he insists on giving an identity, he can be regarded as a wanderer.
Ren Tian didn't care either, and asked, "What about your husband?" ”
"Mr. has gone to plow the fields, and he needs to wait until he returns."
As he spoke, the servant wiped the table for Ren Tian, and then took out a cup from the wooden cabinet on the side and poured tea for Ren Tian.
Tea is naturally not a good tea, but a bitter bowl of tea, which ordinary farmers drink.
Ren Tian looked at this farmhouse, although it was simple, it was also very clean.
"Good tea."
Ren Tian took a sip of tea and couldn't help laughing.
"Your Majesty said with a smile, this tea is just for me to ask Ma Huang to borrow from the farmers in the village, and it is not a good tea."
A voice sounded behind him, and the farmer he had seen before walked in with a smile, his hoe still leaning against the wall.
Ren Tian looked at the man: "The quality of the tea is naturally related to the state of mind, when I see Mr., I am naturally happy in my heart, even if it is a glass of water, it will feel sweet when I drink it." ”
The man was stunned for a moment, then looked at Ren Tian and laughed.
The servant named Ma Huang also took out the tea bowl and poured a cup of tea for the middle-aged man.
Then, the middle-aged man sat down opposite Ren Tian.
"I'm just a country man now, why does Your Majesty praise me so much?"
As long as you are a talent, don't talk about touting, even if I say dry throat, it's okay to say that I'm tired of these three inches of incorruptible tongue, anyway, my cheek is not worth anything to myself.
Ren Tian complained for a while in his heart, and said with a smile: "Mr. is really joking, I just met with Mr. in a hurry yesterday, and I felt that Mr. is extraordinary, so I came here today and wanted to have a good talk with Mr." ”
"What are you talking about?"
"Yesterday Mr. asked me what should be the new kingdom of the world now, and I replied sir, I wonder if the sir can also tell me what should be done in the present world?"
The middle-aged man said with a smile: "I am weak and shallow, naturally there is not much I can do, this troubled world is not my own decision, if Your Majesty wants to talk to me about some poetry and debate, I have some experience, what I can do is only to find a quiet place and be an ordinary farmer." ”
Ren Tian knew that the other party was going around in circles, after all, historical celebrities are not so easy to recruit.
He shook his head: "Mr. said jokingly, if Mr. is only willing to be an ordinary farmer, why did he ask me those words yesterday, such a troubled world, but all aspiring people should enter the WTO to pacify this troubled world, why should they be born?" ”
The man smiled and said: "In the troubled times, first seek self-preservation, and then talk about other things, I asked Your Majesty yesterday, just to confirm whether the new country is safe or not, so that it is convenient for me to live in the city for a long time." Come, Your Majesty will drink tea first. ”
Seeing the other party lifting a cup to drink tea, Ren Tian had no choice, so he also picked up the cup and took a sip.
Historical celebrities are indeed not impressed by wasting their tongues.
So after putting down the teacup, Ren Tian directly asked: "Sir, I want to ask you to go out of the mountain, become a person of my new country, and help my new country develop." ”
After speaking, Ren Tian stood up even more, and then bowed to the man in a full ninety degrees.
The man stood up and grabbed Ren Tian's hand.
He didn't receive it.
"Your Majesty, don't be joking."
Ren Tian was helpless in his heart, and the middle-aged man said, "If Your Majesty doesn't mind, let's sit down and have a good chat first." ”
Ren Tian nodded.
The middle-aged man pondered for a moment: "Your Majesty, do you know how many countries like Xinguo are there on the mainland?" ”
"Millions, perhaps?"
When "Jiangshan" started the public beta, the number of players in Huaxia alone exceeded 100 million, and a new country like Ren Tian naturally had hundreds of millions.
The middle-aged man said: "Very much, since the disintegration of several major dynasties, there has not been a unified country on the mainland, and a small country like Xinguo has been established on the mainland, but where there are one or two cities, one or two counties, you can call the country, Your Majesty, if you are in my perspective, will you agree casually?" ”
