Chapter 63: Fire Ceremony

On the way back, An Zhaoran stared at Li Changan and asked in a low voice, "These are all in your plan?" ”

Li Changan smiled and said, "Almost, don't you worship my brother very much?" ”

"How do you know that the three brothers of the Xiao family will use the public for personal gain?"

Li Changan said casually: "As far as the virtue of their three brothers is concerned, they have given them power, and it would be strange if they could endure it without accidents, but I didn't expect them to be so unscrupulous, and they were foolish just now, and I thought I would have to wait a few more days." ”

"But...... I think that's too easy. An Zhaoran still felt incredulous.

This is a person, it is Xiao Yue'er, a living young beauty, her family is actually willing to sell it, she has been following Li Changan's actions, and found that he has not done anything except for the loss of a little wine......

Li Changan said lightly: "Obviously, this is the benefit of power. ”

"Power?"

"Yes, power ......"

Li Changan's eyes showed a hint of complexity, and he sighed: "Who in the world can not make mistakes? But with power, you can suppress your own mistakes, and without power, you don't dare to make mistakes easily, otherwise you can only bow your head to those with power and admit your mistakes, there are countless warriors in this world, and there are endless capable people, but they don't dare to make mistakes easily, why, because they are afraid of royal power! ”

In his previous life, he knew the horror of power.

In this life, as the lord of the city, he can even more appreciate the horror of power, just the lord of a small border city, it is difficult for others to reach the sky, but he does not need to work hard, this is power, no wonder it will be sought after by countless people.

An Zhaoran looked at Li Changan vigilantly, and said with disgust: "I don't know what you're talking about, but I understand one thing, I have to watch out for you." ”

Li Changan rolled his eyes, turned his head to look at Xiao Yue'er, and handed her the deed of sale.

said casually: "Yue'er, you have collected your own deed of sale." ”

"Lord of the city, this ...... You, for me? ”

Xiao Yue'er looked at Li Changan in a daze, she was ready to be a slave and a maid for the rest of her life, after all, the deed of sale is different from others, with the deed of sale Li Changan can do whatever he wants to her, even ordinary men can't bear this temptation, Li Changan actually returned the deed of sale to himself?

"Well, but let me remind you, it's best not to lose this deed of sale, because if your parents or brother or brother come to pester you again, you can take out this deed of sale and scold them."

Li Changan reminded casually.

Xiao Yue'er took the deed of sale, "Thank you, Lord City, no matter what, I am the City Lord's person......"

In the end, her cheeks were flushed, and she didn't dare to look at Li Changan.

Li Changan looked at her appearance, and couldn't help but feel a wave in her heart, what she meant by this sentence was that no matter whose hand the deed of sale was, she could let Li Changan do whatever she wanted, she was really a good girl who knew how to repay her kindness.

Thinking like this in his heart, he said seriously: "As for the operation of Qianri Spring, everything is as usual." ”

Xiao Yue'er hurriedly said: "City Lord, I have already broken away from the Xiao family and become a member of the City Lord's Mansion, how can I continue to share, you just let me get my salary like Zhaoran, and I can save some dowry." ”

"This ...... Well, your salary is the same as Zhaoran. ”

Li Changan is also not polite, in this way, the City Lord's Mansion can have an additional four thousand taels per day, and this time the transaction is really worth it.

Moreover, Xiao Yue'er had taken into account the situation of the Xiao family before, the brewery was independent of the Xiao family, and all the civilians from the border city were recruited, and none of them were from the Xiao family, which saved a lot of trouble.

Returning to the City Lord's Mansion, Li Changan couldn't wait to go straight to the other courtyard, lying straight on the recliner, and then showed a happy smile, like a fish that had lost its water, and returned to the river and lake.

An Zhaoran was speechless when he saw it, and couldn't help but say: "If you are diligent, you will die, don't you code words?" ”

"Do you think codewords are easy? Inspiration, I need inspiration, I haven't thought about what to write about the new book yet, I have to give myself a vacation first, but you, have you completed today's cultivation task, hurry up. ”

Li Changan turned over, too lazy to take care of her.

"And how long will it take you to find inspiration?" An Zhaoran caused a book shortage, and it was a large-scale book urging scene for fans.

Li Changan said: "When you break through to become a silver intermediate level, I will think about it." ”

"Okay, that's what you said!" An Zhaoran was immediately full of energy, and immediately went back to the room to cultivate.

Li Changan patted the recliner next to him again, and said to Xiao Yue'er with a smile: "Yue'er, this year is the first day you officially joined the City Lord's Mansion, I will give you a day off on a special basis, come and lie down together." ”

"Okay."

Xiao Yue'er showed a charming smile, lay down, took a deep breath and closed her eyes.

At this moment, she felt like a bird that had just come out of the cage, the shackles of her whole body had been removed, and all her worries were said goodbye, and she was relaxed.

A new life starts anew, the future is full of beauty and expectation, and happiness is so simple.

Li Changan also felt this way.

The old book has just ended, the development of the city is proceeding in an orderly manner, and the funds of the city lord's mansion are enough, so there is nothing to worry about for the time being, and you can let it go with all your heart.

Originally, he thought that he could salt fish for a long time, but he didn't expect to come that night, but it was a good thing.

Just after dinner, Zhao Ancheng, Wang Defa and Wu Qingbo came over to see Li Changan, their faces full of excitement.

"Lord of the City, the first road of our border city has been built!"

Zhao Ancheng reported in a loud voice, his tone was full of achievements, after all, this is a meaningful road in the border city, destined to go down in history, from their hands, and honored.

"Oh? Is it? ”

Li Changan's eyes couldn't help but light up.

The cross road in front of the city lord's mansion was built first in the east-west direction, and after more than a month, this one was finally completed!

Wang Defa nodded and said earnestly: "City Lord, you can choose an auspicious time tomorrow to carry out the fire ceremony, and please ask the City Lord to preside over it personally!" ”

"Fire ceremony?"

Li Changan was stunned for a moment, and only then did he understand under Wang Defa's explanation.

The so-called fire ceremony is the last step after the road is built, which is to set fire to the earth stone!

After the stone is paved on the road, it only needs to be poured with oil, and then the fire is lit to make them fuse into a whole piece of pavement, which is very convenient and practical.

The significance of this step can be big or small, but for the first road in the border city, this meaning is naturally a big breakthrough, symbolizing the first fire, which must be completed by the city lord himself.

Li Changan had no reason to refuse, and immediately nodded happily in agreement.

Wu Qingbo proposed: "City Lord, should we name this road?" ”

"You reminded me that this is really necessary." Li Changan nodded thoughtfully.

An Zhaoran said directly: "It's better to call it the border road, which is similar to the border bookstore and the border college." ”

"Roads and buildings are different, so there's no need to name them that way." Li Changan shook his head and vetoed.

Xiao Yue'er said: "Since it is the road in the center of the border city, it is better to call it the center road." ”

This plan made many people nod slightly, and Li Changan also felt that it was good, so he kept it as an alternative.

Time passed little by little, and the big guys were all making plans and fighting for a name.

Only Li Changan was the most calm, he couldn't even come up with a name, and yawned and said: "I think so, you guys list the names you came up with, and then paste them on the notice board, and use the name with the highest voice among the people." ”

"This method is good, or the city lord has an idea."

"The will of the people comes first, and the city lord really loves the people like a son."

Li Changan waved his hand and scolded with a smile: "Okay, okay, don't pat yourself, dismiss the meeting, the city lord is sleepy." ”

Following.

An Zhaoran rushed straight into Li Changan's room, and a hungry tiger pounced on Li Changan's bed.

Then, Li Changan's screams came.

"Whew!"

", An Zhaoran, what are you crazy about, you bite early in the morning."

An Zhaoran snorted and said, "Today is going to give the road a fire salute, what are you going to sleep on, get up." ”

She took a bite of Li Changan, and immediately felt comfortable physically and mentally.

But she soon felt something unusual.

An Zhaoran suddenly thought of something, his cheeks suddenly turned crimson, he screamed "ah", jumped off the bed, and then ran out quickly, "Li Changan, you are obscene, stinky and shameless!" ”

"You broke into my room and climbed into my bed, only to end up calling me obscene, too double-standard."

Li Changan muttered unconvinced, being messed up by An Zhaoran like this, he felt completely awake, and Xiaohe had already walked in to serve him to change clothes.

She apologized: "I'm sorry City Lord, the slave maid failed to stop Princess Zhaoran. ”

"It's okay, it's none of your business."

Li Changan waved his hand, got dressed and went to breakfast, and when he came to the hall after eating, Zhao Ancheng and other backbones of the City Lord's Mansion were already waiting here.

An Zhaoran sat quietly and secretly looked at Li Changan, his eyes full of shame and anger.

Gonggong Hai put a piece of paper in front of Li Changan, "City Lord, the name of the road has come out, please take a look." ”

"Chang'an Road?"

Li Changan was slightly stunned, this is ...... My own name?

Gonggong Hai said with a smile: "Lord of the city, this name was almost unanimously approved, and those people didn't even look at other names, so they just shouted this." ”

"Who came up with this name?" Li Changan asked curiously.

Gonggong Hai bowed, "It's the old slave." ”

It's got to be you, Grandpa Hai.
