Chapter 4: The Dignity of the Mage
The next day, Yang Xiu woke up very early, on the one hand, he wanted to meet the local officials today, and on the other hand, he had not yet received the side reward for killing Yang Hu yesterday. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
After Yang Xiu woke up, he immediately opened the creation system, the task system column flashed brightly, Yang Xiu immediately clicked in, the side quest was indeed completed, there was a submission option below, Yang Xiu did not hesitate, and chose to submit.
"Drop, the side quest is completed, and you will get a chance to draw a lottery."
Then, Yang Xiu's eyes changed, and a translucent gorgeous turntable appeared, on which were a bunch of unknown and strange symbols, which looked extremely mysterious.
"Please remember the beginning and the end in your mind to conduct the draw."
Yang Xiu smiled and chanted silently, the turntable began to rotate, the speed of rotation was slowly accelerating, Yang Xiu closed his eyes, and after waiting for a while, the silent recitation ended.
The turntable immediately began to slow down, and finally slowly stopped under a symbol that flashed with golden light, and Yang Xiu also opened his eyes, waiting for the lottery results.
"The draw is complete, get the Sword: The Dignity of the Mage! The prizes have been distributed directly, please check. Then with a bang, an ancient light blue long sword fell from the sky and smashed directly in front of Yang Xiu's feet.
"It's a peculiar way of distribution, I thought there was some game backpack, bad review!" Yang Xiu muttered, reaching out to pick up the long sword, and at the same time, the data of this long sword appeared in his eyes.
Name: The Dignity of the Mage
Type: Sword
Grade: Black Iron Grade
Special Effects: Weak spell resistance; Slightly increases spell duration
Introduction: This is the sword of a certain legendary mage, but that legendary mage has never fought with this sword, so this sword has accumulated a lot of resentment. If you're a mage, be careful, this sword isn't that mage-friendly!
Yang Xiu's eyes lit up, it turned out to be a black iron-level weapon, and the attributes were also quite good, and increasing the duration of the spell was very good for Yang Xiu's Hanbing control skill, and as for the spell resistance, it was naturally quite practical.
"It's really a good sword, the fast horse flat sword crisscrosses the rivers and lakes, the wine and food are beautiful, what a wonderful feeling!" Yang Xiu stroked the dignity of the mage, and couldn't help but fall into a beautiful fantasy.
"My lord, Lord Yang and a few other adults have arrived and are waiting in the hall." The subordinates who came to report interrupted Yang Xiu's sweet dream.
"Got it, let them wait." Yang Xiu wiped the saliva from his mouth and said impatiently. Anyone who is interrupted when they fantasize about a wonderful life is probably not in a good mood.
Yang Xiu simply threw the wide aristocratic robe to the ground this time, pinned the dignity of the mage to his waist, and walked out in a pair of pajamas.
"What do you see, Young Master Ben is too lazy to change clothes, and then I will punish you for wearing pajamas and working all day long." Yang Xiu was a little annoyed, pretending to be fierce to intimidate these subordinates, but judging from the smiles on everyone's faces, it didn't seem to be of much use.
When Yang Xiu arrived in the hall, the few people who had been waiting for a long time were also surprised to see Yang Xiu's dress, and Yang Zhicai said bluntly, "Young Master, you are really dressed casually." ”
"Hey, I don't care about these etiquette, let's get down to business." Yang Xiu shrugged his shoulders, looking a little indifferent.
"Let's have a talent show first...... Oh no, Yang Zhicai, you came to introduce me. Yang Xiu said it smoothly, but the people below looked confused, and it was also thanks to Yang Xiu's quick reaction and changed his words.
"This is the dog Yang Ping, my lord saw it yesterday." Yang Zhicai pointed at Yang Ping and said, Yang Xiu nodded, which can be regarded as recognition.
This scene means different in the eyes of others, and they all squinted their eyes and looked at Yang Zhicai, the old guy, and didn't understand what kind of medicine Yang Zhicai was selling, this Yang Xiu was a well-known fool.
"This is Zhao Quan, the head of the garrison." Yang Zhicai pointed to a tall and thin man and said.
"I've seen the lord, little Gaoquan." Zhao Quan said flatteringly, with a flattering look.
Yang Xiu's face was expressionless, and he didn't pay attention to it at a glance, this kind of goods that looked like grass on the wall at first glance was obviously not what Yang Xiu needed to pay attention to.
"This is Chengzong, the commander of the garrison, and he has good skills." Yang Zhicai pointed to another person and said, and praised at the same time.
"My subordinates have become sects, and I have seen adults." Chengzong said neither humbly nor arrogantly, his face looking very calm.
Yang Xiu saw that this Chengzong was quite steady, and nodded with a smile, but this Chengzong looked surprised, showing a puzzled look, seeing Chengzong's expression, Yang Xiu was a little puzzled.
"Commander Cheng is not good at words, and his feelings are naturally worse, so my lord forgive me." Yang Zhicai explained on the side.
"This is Brother Gao Yang, and I are colleagues in the government government, and we are a great talent." Yang Zhicai pointed to another old man with slightly gray hair and praised.
"Brother Zhicai has a good reputation, and the old man can do something, and he must not be called a talent." Gao Yang was rickety, and he bowed to Yang with difficulty, obviously in poor health.
Yang Xiu hurriedly stepped forward to help Gao Yang up, stretched out his hand and pulled over a stool and handed it to him, and said sincerely, "Elder Gao has worked hard, you are not in good health, so let's sit down and talk." ”
Gao Yang was not easy to excuse himself, so he sat down in response, and Yang Xiu also waved his hand to Yang Zhicai, signaling that there was no need to introduce him again.
Yang Xiu looked around at everyone, his face was serious, and he said, "You are all veterans of the Gray Pigeon Port, and the time you have stayed is definitely not short, and you must have a clear understanding of the specific situation of the Gray Pigeon Port." ”
"Chengzong."
"The subordinates are here."
"How many soldiers does this garrison have?"
"There are about a thousand people in all, and there are eight hundred stationed in the inner city of the port, and the remaining two hundred are scattered in the surrounding villages." Chengzong replied honestly.
"Zhao Quan, what Chengzong said is true?" Yang Xiu turned his head to look at Zhao Quan.
"It's true, of course it's true." Zhao Quan hurriedly replied.
"Yang Zhicai, how much does the port earn in a year? Are there any minerals nearby? Yang Xiu then asked. Yang Xiu is also a good player in strategy games, Yang Xiu knows very well that the most critical thing in a territory is income, resources and troops, and the questions he asks are also very straightforward.
"The annual tax of Gray Pigeon Harbor is only about 5,000 gold coins, and there is an iron mine in the mineral, but because Gray Pigeon Harbor has never had a lord, this iron mine has been so idle." Yang Zhicai said with a dry smile.
"What about the vicinity of Grey Pigeon Harbor, are there any other minerals?" Yang Xiu had a plan in his heart, and then asked.
"The two families next door, Andu Ling and Yanwu Ling, share an iron mine, and there is also one in the Gray Pigeon City governed by the city lord." Yang Zhicai replied.
"I kind of get it. Elder Gao, what is the current situation of this gray pigeon port? What is the life of the people? Yang Xiu was thoughtful, and then asked Gao Yang.
"It's not good, and I don't know how to describe it to adults, but adults can see it themselves." Elder Gao looked very embarrassed and said helplessly.
"However, the old man is curious, the adult is obviously extraordinary and meticulous, why is it rumored inside and outside this gray pigeon city that the adult is an unlearned and unskilled gentleman?" Elder Gao glanced at Yang Zhicai, his eyes full of confusion.
Everyone present also looked at Yang Xiu with different faces, waiting for Yang Xiu's answer.
"The party fights the same and fights in the same room." Yang Xiu said concisely and clearly, which can be regarded as proving that he is completely consistent with what the rumors say
On the contrary, I'm afraid that some people don't understand.
The faces of the people were different, and Zhao Quan's eyes rolled from time to time, and his eyes were already aimed at the door; Cheng Zong's face was confused, as if he had failed to understand the meaning of Yang Xiu's words; Gao Yang lowered his head and pondered, as if pondering the meaning of Yang Xiu's words; Yang Zhicai and Yang Ping looked calm, the father and son had known for a long time, so they naturally seemed very calm.
Gao Yang raised his head, and just happened to see the expressions of the Yang father and son, and he realized something in his heart, and suddenly had a sense of proportion.
"I have gathered everyone here today, not only for the sake of Grey Pigeon Harbor, but also for yourself." Yang Xiu saw everyone's expressions in his eyes, and it was not bad as he expected, and he naturally made a decision on who should stay and who should not.
"In the future, this garrison will be directly under my jurisdiction." Yang Xiu continued.
"What do you mean, sir?" Zhao Quan was taken aback and said with a dry smile.
"I'm afraid I'm going to wronged Lord Zhao to be the commander in the future." Yang Xiu's expression was serious, and although his words were a little tactful, he put on an unquestionable posture.
"My lord, I'm afraid this is not in order." Zhao Quan said stubbornly.
Swish! Yang Xiu pulled out the long sword on his waist and pointed it at Zhao Quan's head, his face showed a fierce light, and Zhao Quan, who was frightened, sat on the ground, his hands trembled uncontrollably, and his eyes showed fear.
"The little one knows that he is wrong, the adult spares his life, the adult spares his life..."
"From now on, in this gray pigeon harbor, I am the rule. Yang Zhicai, Yang Ping, do you say? Yang Xiu said in a fierce tone, and kept giving the Yang father and son a look as he spoke, which looked really funny.
"That's what my lord said."
"It's all at your command."
Yang Zhicai and Yang Ping glanced at each other, and had to smile bitterly and said, this Yang Xiu really has a lot of ghost ideas, and he has to pretend to be so scary.
Zhao Quan listened to the words of the Yang father and son, and his heart was even more afraid, cold sweat flowed, his face turned into the color of pig liver, and he kept kowtowing to Yang Xiu.
"But don't be afraid, I'm a dictator, but I'm still very talkative. I also have clear rewards and punishments, I will definitely reward meritorious deeds, and I will not tolerate mistakes I make. ”
"What Grey Pigeon Harbor will become in the future depends on your joint efforts." After Yang Xiu knocked Zhao Quan, he didn't forget to appease everyone, a dictatorship lord with clear rewards and punishments was obviously easier for everyone to accept than a brutal and tyrannical dictator lord.
"Stay in the house at noon, I'll let my subordinates prepare more meals, I have a lot of questions to ask you." Yang Xiuzhan showed his trademark smile, looking like he didn't want to let these people go easily.
When everyone saw that Yang Xiu had said this, they didn't dare to refuse, and they all responded one by one.
