26 The lord of the city

"Brother Zhao, Yi'er will be fine, right? It's been three days. Ye Wushuang said worriedly. In the past, whether it was Zhao Yi's cultivation or talisman making, it didn't take such a long time, and she didn't see Zhao Yi for three consecutive days, obviously she was in a hurry to be a mother.

"It's okay, didn't Xu Hu say it, Yi'er fell into an epiphany!" It turned out that they didn't see Zhao Yi the next day, so Ye Wushuang and his wife came over to investigate, and saw Zhao Yi sitting on the bed with a weak breath, and they were shocked and ready to wake him up. But he was stopped by Xu Hu, saying that this situation was an extremely rare epiphany and could not be disturbed. Everyone was still extremely convinced of the genius from Qinglan Academy, so they withdrew from the room and waited outside the room.

Zhao Yi walked out of the room with joy on his face, but saw his parents and a group of people waiting for him. After thinking about it carefully, I knew that my parents hadn't seen me for three days, and I was worried. Although I had already told myself that the study period would take a lot of time, it was difficult to hide the concern of parents for their children. Zhao Yi walked over and let his parents hug him, and after a while, he went to eat with his parents.

Although he has the soul of his thirties in his body, Zhao Yi is still willing to treat himself as a child in front of his parents, which is the love of his parents that he longed for in his previous life. He knew that he was a little greedy, in this life, Ye Wushuang and his wife gave him the love of his parents that he lacked in his previous life, and he wanted to hold on to it, and every more point would be more happiness. He rightfully enjoyed the pampering from them. He is already talented and intelligent, and he has put in much more effort than ordinary people, so he doesn't want to keep this family affection for a long time.

When his brother Zhao Ren also arrived, Zhao Yi spoke: "Father, the city lord's assessment is coming, do you need me to do something?" Zhao Wuregret didn't feel strange at all when his son asked such a question, first, this child has always given him the feeling that he is sensible and filial, second, this child has a fairy-like master, and this child reads a lot, so there are always some strange ideas.

Zhao Wuregret looked at his eldest son, and then said slowly: "The assessment of the city lord is divided into seven major items: officials, farmers, merchants, security, craftsmen, literature, and soldiers, which refer to the political achievements of Maple Leaf City officials, agricultural and commercial taxes, public security management, craftsmen and inventions, cultural and educational examinations, and military training. On the one hand, he answered his younger son's question, but mainly to tell his eldest son, because in two years, Zhao Ren would meet the conditions for assessing the city lord. After a pause, he continued.

"The most important of these is the tax on agricultural business, because with money, you can go more smoothly to other projects, hehe, for example, the auction house opened by Zhao Wangfu this year has continued to make profits for half a year, not to mention the profit for Zhao Wangfu, just the tax paid, while solving this year's commercial tax, you can also reduce or reduce the agricultural tax of one percent. Don't underestimate this tax, it is enough to ensure that the people have money in their hands, and when the people have money, they can improve their physical fitness, let their children go to school, and they will not have no food to eat. ”

Zhao Ren heard this and took over: "Soldiers are selected from the common people, and better physical fitness can ensure the quality of soldiers, and the more children who enter the school, the more places they will occupy in the imperial examination. ”

Zhao Wuregret nodded approvingly and said, "Yes, it can be seen that it has taken a lot of effort to have this understanding." Under his father's praise, Zhao Ren's face flushed, and being recognized by his father was enough for every child to be proud of, and he was inevitably excited.

Looking at his father's encouraging look, Zhao Ren continued: "As for the invention of this workshop, it will take time, but the warm baby brought by my younger brother should be able to solve this problem, and if the rune machine can be mass-produced and popularized, wouldn't it be ......."

Seeing that his father and brother were eager, Zhao Yi had no choice but to speak: "Father, brother, this rune machine is extremely simple to make, but the core requires aura and rune knowledge. "I didn't come up with a procedure because I was worried that my father and brother wouldn't understand.

Zhao Wuregret twisted his beard lightly, and said with a little worry: "Forget it about passing on our Yijin Sutra last time, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to pass on the secret of the master's qi training this time, right?" Zhao Yi knew that his father was afraid that the master would make trouble for him in the future, but when he learned some secrets from the Haoran Righteous Qi Diagram, he didn't worry, so he comforted: "I just passed on the first three layers, and the knowledge of runes is also a superficial thing, there is no problem." felt that it was not enough to convince his father and brother, and continued: "It's a big deal to let the people who learn from me worship me as a teacher, and they should establish a branch for the sect." ”

Zhao Wuregret thought that for a sect, it was always good to have one more inheritance, and he also put his mind at ease. Zhao Ren saw that his father and younger brother fell into a short silence, so he spoke: "Why don't you build a academy by Zhao Wangfu yourself, this time Tianhe Kingdom gave six shops to support the operation of the academy, and there are five million taels of silver materials about to be transported to Maple Leaf City, and then it will be better to divide a discipline as rune research!"

Hearing this, Zhao Yi couldn't help but admire this brother a lot, this not only solved the manpower problem for himself, but also made a steady stream of things for follow-up research, and brainstorming the study of runes was also of great help to his own practice of runes. Maybe the following apprentice's flash of inspiration can solve the problem he thinks about day and night?

What Zhao Wuregret thinks is that with his own academy, he can cultivate talents according to his own needs, and loyalty can be more effectively guaranteed, and the talents who go out of the academy in the future will be branded with Zhao Wangfu, and the reputation of Zhao Wangfu can be greatly improved!

The father and son glanced at each other, and they all felt that building a academy was beneficial to others and themselves. Immediately, Zhao Wuregret decided to hand over this matter to Zhao Ren. And Zhao Yi proposed to pick someone to form the rune discipline by himself, so everyone naturally had no opinion.

After some interjection, Zhao Wuregret continued to talk about the city lord's assessment: "The invention of this workshop has come to an end, and in the end, there is only one thing left to govern, because the Maple Leaf City does not worry about paying taxes, the task of the officials is not heavy, and the people are happy, there are few disputes, and the officials do not need to spend a lot of effort to rectify." The only problem is corruption, but there are dividends for the over-completion of taxes in Maple Leaf City, and no one has taken the risk to do it. Naturally, this is not a problem. ”

Seeing that all the questions had been answered, it seemed that there was really nothing that needed his own help, and his father's position as the city lord had been properly preserved, Zhao Yi said with a smile: "Then I will rest assured, this rune matter, when the brother academy is ready, tell me, and I will deal with it!"

After the city lord's assessment was discussed, everyone was relaxed. Zhao Yi pulled Zhao Wuregret and Zhao Ren down in their room, and took out a stack of papers: "Father, brother, I have good things for you, which one do you like?"

Zhao Ren glanced at his father, and took the paper curiously, this younger brother can always surprise people, every time he makes an extraordinary shot, since it is a good thing in his mouth, it must be very worth looking forward to. Spread out the paper, only to see a pistol painted on each piece of paper, black and platinum, black deep, white beautiful, gold atmosphere. At first sight, he was attracted to his eyes, and when he thought of his father, he handed over the paper and asked, "Brother, what is this?"

Zhao Wuregret was also very curious, but it was not good to grab things from his son, at this time, looking at the past, the perfect shape, the smooth streamline, and the awe-inspiring majesty could be felt on it, and he couldn't help asking: "This is a weapon, right?"

Zhao Yi gave a thumbs up: "My father is still well-informed, I call him a gun, not the kind of gun used by people who practice martial arts! Look! This is a handle, as long as you hold it and pull the trigger on it, you can shoot bullets from this hole, and it is very powerful!"

"It seems to be very similar to a hidden weapon like a rainstorm pear flower needle?" Zhao Ren asked suspiciously. "That's right, it's not bad to think of him as a hidden weapon, but this power is greater, and it can hurt people at a distance, and it can also intimidate people in a dignified manner, but it is not comparable to those hidden weapons. Then he took the paper and continued to introduce: "I call this black killer, I call the white knight, and I call the golden tyrant gold. ”

"The black killer, hidden in the shadows, kills invisibly, matches his blackness. Righteous and awe-inspiring, dignified and neat, in line with his whiteness. Palatial and powerful embodies his gold. Under the concession of his two sons, Zhao Wuregret chose the local tyrant gold, isn't he very compatible with the powerful and magnificent? Zhao Ren chose the white knight. The great man of chivalry, for the country and the people, why not start as a chivalrous man?

After talking about the pistol, Zhao Wuregret mentioned to his two sons that during the city lord assessment, their grandfather and uncle's son might come to live in Zhao Wangfu for a few days and leave. And Zhao Ren knew that his younger brother was going to start making a pistol, so he followed his father out of the room. Zhao Yi watched his father and brother go away, his eyes flickered a few times, and he silently put away the drawings, but he didn't know what he was thinking!
