Dongcheng District has a few days of natural rivers near Shu Town, which is a natural area because it has not been developed yet. There are abundant aquatic products here, fish are abundant, and many older people like to come here to fish, and they will have a lot of harvest at the end of the day, and then take it to the center to sell, they will get a lot of profits.

After a year of development, Baitang City is no longer the small village with dozens of people at the beginning, especially under the construction of the three Taishou, the economic system has gradually formed. It is expected that when the city is actually completed, many time-honored shops will appear, and a completed commercial chain will be formed.

And many of Tang Xiaobai's avant-garde business plans will also be able to be realized gradually.

He got out of the boat and found that there were quite a few people fishing here, many of whom were older. But he looked and looked, but he didn't find the old man with immortal wind bones described by Sun Quan.

He walked slowly along the river, and when he came to a corner, he found an old man hanging a fish in that corner.

Odd. It is indeed a little strange that this place has the least number of fish, so why did the old man choose to fish in this place?

Because of the experience of his master Zuo Ci the previous time, he also planned to repeat his old tricks this time, silently walked to the old man and sat down, without speaking, for fear of disturbing the fish, so he looked at the old man carefully.

To tell the truth, his current appearance is somewhat similar to his nowhere master, except that the old man in front of him has gorgeous hair and even his beard is blue and black. I couldn't help but complain in my heart, didn't I dye my master's hair with a dyeing tool, and then make a new character and release it.

Moreover, why do these mysterious old characters set by the system like fishing?

"Young man, you've been sitting here staring at the old man for a quarter of an hour. I don't see you with fishing tackle, could it be that you came to find the old man on purpose? ”

I don't know how long later, the old man pulled the rod and caught a fathead fish that was afraid to be about ten catties, so he turned his head to look at Tang Xiaobai.

Seeing that the old man finally spoke to him, Tang Xiaobai hurriedly got up, saluted him, and then said: "Mr. Yuan's eyes are like torches, and he is here for the old man, so he saw that the old man had already taken the bait, and he didn't dare to make a noise for fear of disturbing those fish." ”

"Oh!? You know my surname is Yuan, and I must have done a lot of homework before I came. ”

Tang Xiaobai smiled and said nothing.

Yuan Lao looked at Tang Xiaobai carefully, and nodded very satisfied: "Not arrogant or impatient, steady as a mountain, with the momentum of flying phoenixes and dragons, and even more dragon soaring nine heavens, rare, rare in this mottled and chaotic world with such a proud son of the sky." ”

Tang Xiaobai knew that Yuan Lao was praising himself, and said modestly: "Yuan Lao praised it. ”

Yuan Lao waved his hand again and again, and said, "Why do you need to hold more real dragons." So saying, he had taken out the hook of the fish, but then he put the fish back into the river.

Tang Xiaobai only saw that there was not a single fish in Yuan Lao's fish basket at this time. I couldn't help but ask with some surprise: "Why did Yuan Lao catch a fish, but he didn't accept it?" ”

Yuan Lao looked at Tang Xiaobai mysteriously and said: "The old man fishes, pays attention to a fate, this fish has nothing to do with the old man." ”

Belch.

is worthy of being an old fairy, and it is really incomprehensible. But think about it carefully, what Yuan Lao said about the fish of fate, could it be that he is talking about himself? This can be said to be the drunkard's intention, not in the wine.

"Mr. Yuan, I only returned to the town when I went out on an expedition recently, I heard that Sun Taishou talked about you, he was particularly impressed, and highly recommended, saying that the old man is a great talent in governing the world, and he came to disturb him today, and he also had the intention of inviting Yuan Lao out of the mountain, I don't know what Mr. Yuan wants?" Tang Xiaobai decided not to go around in circles anymore, for this kind of old fox who can analyze people's hearts, too much modesty and tactfulness may reduce points.

Sure enough, after Tang Xiaobai said what he meant, Yuan Lao's eyes flickered, but he didn't show any surprise, but hurriedly stood up and saluted Tang Xiaobai: "It turns out that he is the lord of the three towns, please forgive the old man's clumsiness." ”

Tang Xiaobai hurriedly helped Yuan Lao up, and helped him to sit down, and sat down himself, and the two knelt face to face. Yuan Lao is actually very tough, and Tang Xiaobai's support is completely out of politeness.

"Yuan Lao, the three towns of white sugar are about to become a thing of the past, nine towns will become a city, and nine important towns will be established in white sugar city. However, in the face of such rapid development, there is a real shortage of capable people under my account, and Sun Taishou, Cao Taishou, Zhuge Taishou and all the military divisions and generals are too busy to stand on the front foot. Mr. Yuan has a great talent for governing the world, and the boy really wants to invite Mr. Yuan to go out of the mountain and share this prosperous era with us. Tang Xiaobai said sincerely.

Old Yuan seemed to hesitate a little, and only sighed for a long time and said, "The old man is old, and he is afraid but he can't take on heavy responsibilities. ”

Tang Xiaobai shook his head and said, "Mr. Yuan's words are wrong. ”

Yuan Lao didn't speak, he knew that Tang Xiaobai still had something to say.

"Mr. Yuan, there is a general in Shu Town, his temples are white, and his one-foot-long Ran is even more snow-white. This year, there are five out of seventy, in order to protect the territory, they are still fighting on the battlefield, leading bows to kill the enemy, and there are brave young soldiers. ”

Yuan Lao obviously knew who Tang Xiaobai was talking about, and praised again and again: "Old General Huang Zhong is really the person that the old man admires the most, but the old man has no kung fu to accompany him, and it is really difficult to fight on the battlefield." ”

"As long as Yuan Lao has the heart to serve the country, where is it not a battlefield? Guarding a city, taking charge of one side, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the people's livelihood is happy, how can it not be a service to the family and country? ”

"Mr. Yuan, you have the talent to govern the world, but you are willing to live in obscurity for such a lifetime?" Tang Xiaobai said, just in time to see a boat in the distance carrying an old horse towards Shu Town. Presumably, it was borrowed as a military horse for digging rivers and transporting soil and sand.

Then he said: "The martyr is in his twilight years, and his heart is strong. Lao Ji is in the woods, and his ambitions are thousands of miles. Mr. Yuan, White Sugar City needs you. ”

Tang Xiaobai said with tears in his eyes, and Mr. Yuan was also moved. The corners of his mouth twitched for a long time before he said, "Lord of the City, answer me a question, and if you answer correctly, I will promise you." ”

Tang Xiaobai said in his heart.

"What is still missing in the construction of Wu Town?"

Tang Xiaobai was slightly stunned, he originally thought that Yuan Lao would ask some questions about the way to govern the world and the way to calm the people, but he didn't expect to ask Guan Yu's question about the way of development. What is still missing in this Wu Town?

In fact, this question has been thinking about Tang Xiaobai since he stepped on the blue battleship that was sailing to Wuzhen, and now the construction of Wuzhen can be said to be almost perfect, but for his high requirements, there are several necessary constructions, but they have not yet been planned.

Smiling slightly, he already had the answer in his heart.
