Volume 1 Yu Wanxiang Chapter 9 The Female City Lord
Qi Wang shook off the frost and snow on his body, slowly walked into the city, the city gate was wide open, although it was a cold winter, there were still people bustling, peddlers were endless, the snow on the roads in the city was swept properly, and pedestrians came and went in a hurry.
Sansheng Ancient Kingdom, the country lasted for thousands of years, the territory of nine counties and 22 cities, the current saint since the enthronement of the strong soldiers, the border of the north and south regions, with thunderous means, with less to win more, fought six classic battles in succession, deterring the surrounding hostile forces that have been ready to move for many years, and then cultivating life and recuperation, emphasizing agriculture and pragmatism, so that the perennial war of the country can finally be peaceful.
This sage, who is known as the most enlightened saint since the founding of the country, is now thinking of improving the national strength and wants to be promoted to a medium-sized country, so as soon as Qi Wang came, he saw the official notices posted on the streets and alleys, rewarding childbirth, joining the army to serve the country, opening up wasteland and farming, and so on.
A family can get 20 taels for each child, women can also get 10 taels, if it is difficult to raise them, they can report to the local government, daily expenses and school are borne by the government, men join the army 8 taels per month, 10 taels during wartime, and the pension of ordinary soldiers has even been raised to 521 people, which is more than many ordinary people earn in a lifetime.
If you don't want to join the army, you can also go to the official family to receive free wasteland, as long as you cultivate the land, eighty percent of the harvest will be your own, if the harvest is not good, you can also get the official subsidy.
Since Xuanhesheng changed the year name to Yuanchun, the entire ancient kingdom has shown a thriving style.
Qingyang City is one of the two cities of Baiyang County, ten years ago, Qingyang City ranked in the back row of the twenty-two cities of nine counties, counting down every year, nothing more than the barren land here, the number of people is scarce, until the amazing and brilliant female city lord was born, suppressed the rampant and domineering mountain forces, please lead the troops to suppress the bandits, and spared no effort to build a deserted post road, opened the road to the surrounding cities, and quickly built Qingyang City into a typical example in China, it is rumored that even the saint has crossed two thousand miles to visit this place in person to meet the female city lordγ
Blessed by it, most of the locals who changed their lives were grateful to this rumoredly beautiful and moving female city lord, but what made the middle and upper class of Qingyang City talk about the most was the various scandals and scandals of the beautiful female city lord, when the female city lord rose in the early years, she was ruthless, but she didn't have much strength, you must know that Qingyang City was chaotic in the past and was like a bandit nest, how could a female stream fight out of it?
Judging from the secret forces or leaders of all parties in Qingyang City who will jump out from time to time to cheer for her, the place where she "fights" is probably between the beds of these bigwigs, but even so, it is a skill to be able to wander under the crotches of various powerful men and be safe.
No matter what the outside world praised, she was named Qianxian and finally became the king of the city.
The castle lord's mansion is huge, so it's easy to find.
Qi Wang stood in front of the magnificent vermilion gate, thinking slightly, but he still gave up quietly touching in, after all, with his current strength, he couldn't do it to be able to wander around the mansion of the lord of a city.
The young man walked to a bookstore on the side, spent a copper coin, thought about it for a while, and wrote a line of words on the paper, and the boring bookstore guy on the side glanced at it casually, and was immediately shocked, glared and sighed: "Dude, I will serve a reader like you, and you are so elegant to play a hooligan." β
Qi Wang smiled slightly, dried the ink, and stuffed it into the envelope.
The second team of iron-clad slaughter sergeants fought against each other, and Qi Wang, who had returned here, slowly walked up the stairs, approached the vermilion gate under their stunning gaze, and a white-haired old man with a hunched waist walked out from behind the door, and asked lightly: "Who is coming, and what is the intention." β
Qi Wang said calmly: "I heard that the city lord of Qingyang City is unique, and he has a little cultivation in the next place, and he has reached the idea, and he has come to serve." β
At the same time, Qi Wang exuded a wisp of thought, the old man's eyes swept away, and he said casually: "You are lucky today, the big housekeeper will come back in the afternoon to preside over the assessment once every three days, go to the lobby and wait." β
The beginner is just a beginner, and he can hover on the level of the city lord's mansion, this is the spirit of a big city, if it is placed in a remote town, it is enough to be regarded as a local hero.
Qi Wang nodded, then took out ten taels of silver from his pocket, stuffed it into the old man's hand along with the envelope, and said with a smile: "I am tired of my brother to help, I have admired the city lord for a long time, and I hope it will be fulfilled." β
The white-haired old man glanced at him, he didn't smile, he had seen a lot of this kind of young man, these letters were either moaning without illness, showing his grandeur, or talking endlessly, expressing his love for the city lord, and some ingenuity, chattering a lot, he accepted the silver, and said lightly: "Things can be delivered, whether you see it or not is the city lord's business, she has a lot of opportunities, and she won't turn over these often." β
Qi Wang clenched his fists: "Thank you." β
The white-haired old man casually summoned a soldier and ordered him to send the letter to the cabinet, Qi Wang kept walking, the city lord's mansion was very large, but fortunately it could be reached by going straight in the lobby, the hall inside was empty, and there were a few people standing in the courtyard outside, there were more than 20 people, and when they saw someone coming, they habitually glanced at it, and they stopped paying attention after noticing the abnormality.
Qi Wang found a shady place to sit cross-legged and waited quietly.
It was not yet noon, and the chief butler would not return until the afternoon, but everyone present had no complaints, and they all waited silently.
The sun is three poles up, and it is already the afternoon sun.
In the deepest cabinet of the mansion, in the elegant courtyard, a slender figure slammed open the wooden door in front of him, carrying a wine jug, kicked off the embroidered shoes on his feet when he entered the door, stepped on the warm wooden planks paved on the ground, and threw his hands on the soft bed. β
A lazy voice came from inside the tent: "Just read it." β
Qingya maids heard the sound and read aloud slowly, but it didn't take long for them to find a slight snoring sound from the gauze tent, and they were immediately a little helpless, Qingya maids lowered their voices and continued to read.
After about an hour, the elegant maid who finally finished reading drank saliva to moisten her throat, and then walked to the desk and picked up a bunch of letters, walked to the front of the gauze tent to continue, and after half an hour, the elegant maid opened the letter in her hand, different from the previous long and large letters, this letter has only two short lines of words, the font dragon and phoenix dance, quite freehand, but this maid took a closer look, but the little hand shook, the delicate little face surged crimson, and there was a slight shame in the eyes, where did this come from, so bold?
The elegant maid walked to the side, handed the disassembled envelope in her hand to another person, and said in a low voice: "Tell the steward of the outer courtyard that he is so bold and bold that he must be severely punished!"
The woman hurriedly took it, and was just about to leave, when a voice came from inside the tent: "What is written?"
Qingya Ya gritted her teeth slightly, in the end, she was kind-hearted, she knew the moodiness of this master, and hurriedly said: "City Lord, it's nothing, it's just some ordinary boring words." β
The slender woman stretched, turned around, held her head and lay on her side and smiled: "Reading it, is it possible that there are still people who dare to scold me in a grand manner, this is not ten years ago." β
The elegant maid was in a dilemma, gritting her silver teeth, her face was red like blood, and she snorted: "Heart...... I miss ...... heart"
After a pause, the elegant maid mustered up her courage, closed her eyes and said quickly: "I miss Mu Yuti in my heart, but I want the fish to hydrolyze the lovesickness, and I will pay the money: Xiao Xianxian's doctor." β
Originally, all kinds of maids who were still busy with their movements were stiff, and for a while the needles in the room could be heard.
The elegant maid secretly opened her eyes and glanced at the curvy and moving figure on the bed, the latter did not move at all, she hurriedly said: "City Lord, I will let people investigate immediately!
Qianying slowly sat up and whispered, "No need. β
Seeing that the city lord didn't seem to be angry, the people in the house just breathed a sigh of relief, and the elegant maid's face suddenly changed drastically, because she saw that at some point, a black-robed man stood beside Qianying, as the closest personal maid of the city lord, they naturally knew who it was.
The female city lord said to the black-robed man, "You go." β
The black-robed man disappeared in an instant.
All the maids in the house suddenly fell to their knees, and they didn't dare to breathe, but they didn't expect that for the sake of a mere letter, the city lord would make such a big move, so that this one appeared, and now I am afraid that it will set off a bloody storm again, and the person who wrote the letter may end up so miserable, and he will take the blame.
Is it really true that this city lord of Qingyang City, who is famous for his beauty, is he a good stubble?
However, these trembling and not daring to raise their heads were not seen, and the fair woman sitting on the bed was just holding her chin with her hands, and her narrow eyes narrowed into crescents.
