Chapter 432: Commitment
After the construction of the wide, majestic stone wall. The soldiers of the Shanzi Battalion had already begun patrolling and setting up sentry posts on the city walls, and being on duty on the stone walls was the favorite thing for the soldiers of the Shanzi Battalion to do.
On the high city wall, the phoenix cow flag flutters in the wind, and the back of the phoenix cow pattern is a big "Zheng" character, highlighting the prestige of the lord of the phoenix. Standing on the banner and looking into the distance, you can not only see the situation of Ouye Town and Qixing Town, but even the farther Dukang Town can also see a rough idea; The NPC vendors who enter and exit from under the city gate every day, as well as the incredible number of adventure players, are even more unique scenery; Some of the soldiers who were responsible for monitoring the city on the city wall could even see most of the buildings in Fengxiang City, and watching the joy and busyness of the villagers they knew well, the sense of mission of the soldiers of the Shanzi Battalion to guard the land and defend the people spontaneously arose.
On the third day after Ah Niu returned to the territory, the number of daily guards on the city wall increased by forty, which was obviously good news for many officers and soldiers of the Shanzi Battalion. The additional manpower was to open and close the newly built drawbridges, each of which required ten soldiers.
With abundant funds, the construction of Fengxiang's moat was maintained, and the construction of the expensive suspension bridge was quickly started, and the moat at the city gate was dug in advance before the moat outside the stone wall was completed. The suspension bridge was soon put into use.
From this day on, whenever the curfew comes, the drawbridge will be closed on time, covering the city gate that is closed on time, making Fengxiang a city isolated from the outside world. It wasn't until the next morning that the drawbridge was lowered again, allowing strangers and players to get through the moat from the bridge, and Feng Xiang began a busy day.
In fact, except for the suspension bridge, which has been delayed until now, other projects that can be built in secondary cities have basically been built.
A hay yard, a commercial hall, a stationery store, a bathhouse, a water tower, and a water spring have been built and are in normal operation. The temple and the Rakufu were not so lucky, as there were no monks and senior musicians yet, and the construction of these two buildings could not be started yet.
Although the research center has not yet met the requirements of multi-skilled talents, this building was built first, and only the territory will train an intermediate "blacksmith + carpenter", and the research center will be put into normal use immediately. Due to the temporary inability of the research center, the "type of equipment that the research center can build" that Niu wants to know is still a mystery.
Another new building that has been built but is not usable is the Theater. This place, which can provide entertainment performances for ordinary villagers, has attracted the attention of the majority of Fengxiang villagers since the day the construction began. Every villager is running to tell each other, "We can see singing and dancing!" "I've heard that there are musicians performing!" "Yes, yes, it seems that you can still see a hundred operas (acrobatics)."
The happy Fengxiang villagers eagerly hoped that the theater would be built soon, and the construction personnel couldn't hide the desire in their eyes, but when the building was completed, everyone was dumbfounded - in the empty theater, except for the villagers who were ready to see the strange, there was no performer.
"What about singing and dancing? What about musicians? What about 100 plays? ”
"Yes, where are the strange people, they can perform fire and swallow knives!"
"Does anyone know what's going on?"
No one knew why, and in the end they had to accept the fact that the theater was temporarily unusable, and the villagers certainly couldn't be entertained in the theater. This is a frustrating fact in order to solve this problem. The villagers of Fengxiang are looking for solutions with unprecedented enthusiasm.
How to use the theater normally affects the hearts of many villagers, and it seems that this is everyone's welfare.
"The lord of the city has spent money to build a theater for us, there is no reason why this theater can't be used!"
"I wonder too, is there something wrong with the construction process?" A farmer came up with an idea, but it was quickly refuted.
"Impossible! I Wang Er Mazi participated in the construction, where did I dare to be sloppy in this project? Since we were a small village in Fengxiang, I have started to build the territory, and I have personally participated in no less than 100 projects, and there have never been problems. ”
"The key problem now is that there are no performers, if we can invite singers, dancers, or even musicians and performers, the theater can operate." The words of a "thinker" woke up the dreamer, and the villagers suddenly realized that this was the crux of the problem.
"Where can I find singers, dancers, musicians, and opera performers? Even if we scrape together the money to invite ourselves, we have to invite a few people back! ”
"Almost hopeless. Those people are only kept in the mansions of the wealthy and nobles for their own amusement, where can we, the common people, see the singing and dancing performances? Even if everyone pooled the money to invite them to perform, those high-ranking men would not agree. "The one who spoke was an old Xiucai, who was said to have been a teacher in a wealthy family before joining Fengxiang, and was well-informed among the villagers.
Everyone can't help but be silent, as Lao Xiucai said, those high-ranking families do not lack that little appearance fee, and they don't want their entertainment teams to be enjoyed by ordinary civilians, which has involved the so-called "dignity of wealthy families". The villagers, who had been splashed with water head-on, began to become helpless, and after a long time, a young blacksmith said loudly:
"You can't help it, it doesn't mean that the city lord can't help it, Lord Niu will definitely be able to help us solve the problem!"
"That's right!" "That's right. Ah Niu-sama is omnipotent! ”
"There will be a way when Lord Niu returns."
As a result, less than half a day after a certain city lord returned to Fengxiang, the villagers who heard the news "surrounded" the administrative center, and extremely earnestly asked the "benevolent, generous and powerful" city lord to find a way to make the theater use.
Faced with a group of villagers who were full of interest, a certain city lord had to promise with a wry smile, "I will do my best", which made the villagers leave with great expectations. In fact, whether the theater can operate normally is not only related to the feelings of the villagers, but also directly related to the exhibition of the territory.
When the villagers dispersed, Ah Niu quickly sent a messenger to the state capital to ask Gong Jing for help, as far as Ah Niu knew, talents such as singing and dancing and Baiju were not the patent of the wealthy, and if there were no such talents in a state capital, it would be a joke.
Although Feng Xiang did not participate in the battle against Dong Zhuo, the city lord of the only second-tier city in the country still made a certain city lord unrivaled in the NPC world. Coupled with Feng Xiang's close trade contacts with Qingzhou Mansion, it is not impossible to ask Gong Jing for some singing and dancing girls for free, not to mention that Ah Niu did not ask for it for free, but exchanged it for the big yellow crossbow that the state government urgently needed!
As expected, three days later, Qingzhou Mansion sent five singers, five dancers, and two hundred opera players who could walk a tightrope and jump the fire ring. Although there are not many programs that these talents can perform, it is enough for the villagers who have never had the opportunity to watch, and the theater has brought great pleasure to the villagers of Fengxiang.
The efficiency of the Fengxiang city lord once again made the villagers extremely satisfied, and "it is difficult to find the city lord" has become the consensus of many villagers, but fortunately, such a statement does not mean that the villagers will push all the burden to Ah Niu, but simply express their trust in the city lord.
Just after the envoy to the state capital came out, a certain city lord came to Cai Yan's residence alone, and wandered downstairs for a while, Ah Niu still mustered up the courage to go up and knock on Cai Yan's door.
In a moment, the door opened.
Wen Ji's face is still so beautiful, Lu Zhi has been away from Fengxiang for a long time, and Xiaoxue was also ordered to lead the army to Julu some time ago, Cai Yan is quite lonely these days. Except for loneliness and boredom. The war in Luoyang also affected this talented woman of the Three Kingdoms, who combined beauty and wisdom, and her father Cai Yong was in Luoyang.
Cai Wenji was overjoyed at first when she saw Ah Niu coming to visit, but when she saw the heaviness on the face of a certain city lord, her mood couldn't help but sink to the bottom. Cai Yan's face was pale, and she bit her lower lip tightly, but she didn't directly ask Ah Niu about the outcome of the matter, although the stubborn talented woman vaguely guessed that things were not so smooth, but she still had a glimmer of hope.
There was silence between the two, and the situation was very embarrassing, until a certain city lord had to guiltily tell the things that happened in Luoyang City. Although the three city lord iron guards set out on the way home earlier, because one of them was injured, the return journey would naturally be extended by the carriage, and Ah Niu, who committed suicide and returned to the city, arrived in the territory earlier, which also made a certain city lord have to personally inform Cai Yan of the truth.
"Miss Wen Ji, the general situation is like this, Ah Niu has a negative trust."
"Lord Niu, don't do this, the chaotic situation in Luoyang is indeed beyond everyone's expectations, you haven't done anything wrong. In order to rescue his father, he also lost a strong man in Fengxiang, and it should be Wen Ji who should apologize. Cai Yan said quietly, with a calm look on her beautiful cheeks.
Although it was not very obvious, although Wen Ji was trying to control it, Ah Niu still noticed that Cai Wen Ji's body was trembling uncontrollably. In Ah Niu's eyes at this moment, the Wen Ji he saw was no longer a talented woman of the Three Kingdoms, but a weak woman who was worried about her father's safety and kept her composure, which also made a certain city lord feel that the mistakes he made were unforgivable, and a softest place was stung.
In fact, as Cai Yan said, Ah Niu did nothing wrong. The chaos in Luoyang exceeded everyone's imagination. Even if a certain city lord is no stranger to this history, but he has not personally experienced it, he can't understand how chaotic it was at that time, there were Dong Zhuo's rebellious soldiers everywhere, and in that case, if you want to bring Cai Yong out safely, I'm afraid that only a few of Ah Niu's brothers can make a move. The problem was that Liu Xing, the only one near Luoyang, tied his hands and feet for Huoyun City's point grabbing operation, and sent two iron guards from the Darkflower Army, which was already the best person that Ah Niu could send at that time.
According to the report of the iron guard who went with the knife, Ling Zun was not suspected by Dong Zhuojun, but thought that he had a gap with Yuan Shao and increased the manpower protection, even if he arrived in Chang'an, he would not be in danger for a long time. Wen Ji rest assured, Ah Niu will bring Mr. Cai to you safely, this is the promise of the Fengxiang City Lord! Ah Niu looked at Cai Yan, word by word, and said slowly but firmly.
The sincerity and resoluteness in the words of a certain city lord. Cai Yan received it clearly.
Raising his head, he bravely looked at Ah Niu, and there was clearly some crystal liquid circulating in his eyes, which made a certain city lord feel heartache. Cai Yan suddenly smiled, his resentful temperament was gone, and the hut seemed to be a little brighter at that moment, and he saluted Ah Niu gently: "Thank you, Ah Niu City Lord, Wen Ji is waiting for that day." ”
After a certain city lord solemnly returned the salute, he strode out without looking back, and behind him was Cai Yan's gaze, until Ah Niu's back disappeared from sight, and Wen Ji's gaze did not retract. Cai Yan understood that a certain city lord would definitely do his best for his promise, and the chaotic heart gradually settled down, for some reason, Cai Yan firmly believed in his heart that what Ah Niu said would definitely be able to do it!
That night, there were twenty martial artists of the Dark Flower Army, who were ordered to sneak to Chang'an. According to the progress of Dong Zhuo and his entourage, it will take a long time to reach Chang'an, and when the emperor, officials, and people are settled, and I don't know how long they need to stay, a certain city lord doesn't need to send people so quickly, but Ah Niu still did it resolutely.
"Even if you stay in Chang'an for a month, two months, or even half a year, you must bring Mr. Cai Yong back to Fengxiang safely!" A certain city lord gave a death order to the members of the Dark Flower, and when Dong Zhuo and his party arrived in Chang'an after a long journey, their vigilance should be relaxed, and that was Feng Xiang's chance.
Originally, Ah Niu also wanted to take the opportunity to ask Cai Yan if he was willing to help in Yuefu temporarily, but the situation at this time made Ah Niu's words impossible to speak. No matter how much a city lord hopes that Yuefu can start construction immediately, he can't bear to say to Cai Yan, who is still anxious and isolated: "While your father's life and death are uncertain, let's do a favor and play the piano to make everyone happy."
Ah Niu is not so cruel yet.
Because of this, Fengxiang's Yuefu still cannot be built, but fortunately, the construction period of Yuefu is not long. A certain city lord is confident enough to be able to solve the two major problems of "blacksmith + carpenter" before the moat is completed and the intermediate "blacksmith + carpenter" is solved. Find at least one senior musician for Le Fu!
