Volume 1 The Caged Sparrow Chapter 79 Welcoming the Spring Seal

Chen Ping'an has not yet come out of the mountain, he has already felt the earth-shaking changes in the town, in addition to looking at the town on the top of Dizhen Mountain, and found that it is dusty everywhere, but also in the area of Yuanmu Peak, he saw nearly 100 young people, most of whom were potters, outstanding strength, hard-working, and were cutting down giant trees in full swing.

Chen Ping'an leaned over, found an acquaintance who was burning porcelain at the mouth of the same kiln, and asked to know that the town was going to build four large buildings of the county government, Wenchang Pavilion, Wusheng Temple and Chenghuang Temple in one go, and the leader was a young new supervisor, surnamed Wu Mingyuan, as for the other county title, what kind of official body is it, and what kind of place is the county government, the people of the town don't understand, and they don't care, they only know that there is an iron rice bowl for the time being, and the salary is very attractive, and the surplus is more abundant than in the past in the dragon kiln.

Before the kiln was cut off, the kiln fire was extinguished, and the kiln workers were young and strong all year round, facing the loess with their backs to the sky, and they could only deal with the crops, and it was not easy to support their families, and they couldn't earn a few copper coins, so now the people in the town are excited, and they regard Wu Yuan and Lord Wu as the God of Wealth. Moreover, the rich and noble men of the four surnames and ten clans, compared with their younger generation or even two generations of Xiao Wu, their behavior is particularly respectful, and their words also reveal the closeness of the officials and the people, as for the more subtle eye sight, hiding the meaning of flattery, the eyes of the people in the town are not blind, even if they are frogs at the bottom of the well, so the depth of knowledge and the ability to observe words and colors are not bad.

Now the county commander Wu Yuan asked the head of the family of four surnames and ten clans to come forward, and hired five or six hundred young people in the town to go into the mountain to cut down trees and carry them out of the mountain. However, in this way, Yuanmu Peak is like a scar has been artificially cut on his face.

In addition to entering the mountain, there is also going into the water, and many men in the town are coolies, picking sand and transporting stones from the side of the creek, and using the east gate of the town as the site of the county government, knocking down Zheng Dafeng's yellow mud hut, re-ramming the foundation, and even the fence wooden gate that has suffered from unknown wind and rain has been completely dismantled.

When Chen Ping'an went out of the mountain, he did not choose the winding mountain path, but stepped directly on the stones of the stream and jumped downstream, which saved a lot of time. Some small town people will not make a fuss when they see the figure of a young man with a basket on his back, most of them know that there is an orphan in Mud Bottle Lane, who has been good at collecting medicine and burning charcoal since he was a child, and he is like a monkey when he enters the mountain, and no one can catch up.

Chen Ping'an stopped at the confluence of the two streams, it turned out that more than two zhang down, there was a pitted stone cliff, gathered a group of people, on the shore and near the stone cliff on a bluestone protruding from the water surface, each stood a burly young man, wearing a golden silk scabbard with a golden silk scabbard hanging from his waist, wearing a neat black robe, covered with a layer of cyan tulle, tied his hair and hairpins, and the two exuded a fierce atmosphere.

At the moment when the straw sandals boy appeared, the two of them suddenly shifted their gaze and stared at Chen Ping'an, who was born out of nowhere, and his hand had already pressed the handle of the knife.

Chen Ping'an, who was carrying a basket of herbs on his back, stood still, his face was as usual.

The young man has experienced two alley fights with Cai Jinjian and Fu Nanhua, wandering around under the pursuit of the mountain ape in Zhengyang Mountain, and finally adding the catch and fight with his peers Ma Kuxuan in the immortal tomb, the opponent is either a high-ranking immortal, or a great wilderness xenomorph who has experienced a hundred battles, or a lucky person who is destined to return, but Chen Ping'an still survived in the end.

Therefore, the gloomy gaze of the two saber men can make the people in the market tremble, but it can't make Chen Ping'an have too many emotional ups and downs.

However, Chen Ping'an did not want to be distracted, and just as he was about to go to the shore and return to the town along the mountain road by the stream, he found a young man who was overshadowed by the stars, and said a word to the saber servant standing in the creek with a smile, and the latter immediately let go of the hand holding the handle of the knife. The young man who was sitting cross-legged got up slowly, half a head taller than the two saber guards, his skin was fair like a woman, and his face was slightly feminine, he beckoned to Chen Ping'an, changed to the local dialect of the town, his expression was gentle, and he smiled: "Don't be afraid, you just continue to follow the original route, we are not bad people." ”

The town's dialect was slightly obscure and stagnant, but Chen Ping'an heard it clearly, hesitated, Chen Ping'an smiled at the tall man, and then stretched out his finger and pointed to the shore, signaling that he would go ashore soon and would not disturb their chat.

Without waiting for the man to say anything, Chen Ping'an's sturdy body jumped a few times, and he landed on the shore without dragging mud and water, and the emaciated figure quickly disappeared into the forest path with increasing greenery.

Some of the female men withdrew their hands stupidly, and the servants around them couldn't help laughing, and the man said embarrassedly: "That young man who picks medicine is not good, look, I will say that there are outstanding people here, so ah, don't complain that this place is not as prosperous as the capital, there is a small place with Zhong Lingyuxiu, and there is a special taste." ”

Not to mention that it's okay, this parent official has no three hundred taels of silver here, and it suddenly caused a burst of unbridled laughter.

The tall man is the God of Wealth in the eyes of the people of the town, Wu Kite, the kiln supervisor, and the first county commander of Longquan, in the face of the ridicule of his subordinates, he was not annoyed, and continued the previous topic after sitting down, "Longquan County Ya, Wenchang Pavilion, Wusheng Temple, City God Temple, buildings everywhere, just the plaque, scattered need at least fifteen or sixteen pieces, Your Majesty for this Lizhu Cave Tian'an fall, and the territory of Dali smoothly bordered, maintained the geographical panorama of seven or eight points, and there was no big bull turned over, so Longyan Dayue, the royal gift of a piece' The plaque was given to the Wenchang Pavilion ......"

When Wu Yuan said this, an elegant and elegant young man smiled and said, "Lord Wu, didn't you help our county government ask Your Majesty for a Mobao?"

Wu Yuan sighed and said: "Please, why don't you ask, but Your Majesty doesn't agree, what can I do." After all, if a small county government is given the golden pen by His Majesty, how can so many feudal officials who are county guards and assassins live in the future?

Everyone will smile.

Wu Yuan comforted everyone, "Fortunately, Mr. Liu and Guozijian Qi Da Sacrificial Wine agreed respectively, and when the time comes, people will send two sets of plaques, which will be hung in the county government and Wusheng Temple respectively, and now the problem is that Wenchang Pavilion is still three pieces away, and the City God Temple is also missing two pieces. Then I have the word earthworm crawling in one hand, that is even my husband is desperate, of course, if you are not ashamed, of course I don't care, the only opportunity in my life to make my ink treasure into a book plaque has finally arrived!"

The young man with a good temperament thought for a while, "Then I'll write a letter to my grandfather, my grandfather has a good relationship with the hidden Mr. Bai Qiu, see if I can find a way to win face for our Lord Wu." ”

Wu Yuan patted him on the shoulder, "The face of the official will be handed over to you, if the plaque is not enough, the face of the county commander will be thrown on the ground and cannot be picked up, only you will ask when the time comes." ”

The young man's face froze, and he felt like he had dug a hole for himself.

The rest of the colleagues who are not much different in age have shown sympathetic looks, our character of Lord Wu, that is famous for climbing up the pole, and dare to open the largest dyeing workshop in the capital with a little color, do you dare to compete with him whose face is thicker?

These young people who are not very official have an official position that prevailed in the northern dynasty of Dongbao Aquarius, Secretary Lang.

This official position is divided into two kinds of civil and military, Wen Secretary Lang, like a staff strategist, to give advice to the master, solve problems, and Wu Secretary Lang, is the two sturdy young men with gold swords hanging from their waists, serving as personal servants to protect the safety of the chief officer. However, the position of secretary Lang belongs to the Xu official class, and is not included in the Qingliu official of the imperial court, and the children of the wealthy lords of the family are often hired by the family or hired by the Qing Ke and enshrined as the secretary of the civil and military affairs.

Wu Yuan is from the Han clan, and he can't afford to hire a secretary Lang privately, these Wen Secretary Lang are all rationed by the imperial court, but Longquan County is just a big county on the territory of Dali, not even a county, originally it could only be rationed to one secretary of the civil and military affairs, but the two military secretaries who were wrapped in gold wire and scabbards were obviously masters of the Dali military who had won outstanding merits, otherwise they were not qualified to wear this knife at all.

In fact, Wu Yuan was able to serve as the first parent official of Longquan County, Dali, which has been able to explain a lot of problems.

The mentor of the young county order is the great national teacher nicknamed "Embroidered Tiger".

His future father-in-law is a certain Shangzhu country who has been on the battlefield of Dali border for half his life.

After the joke, Wu Yuan Zhengse said: "These four buildings, the amount of work is already very large, and the site selection of the immortal tomb and the old porcelain mountain, here in the town, from the sage Ruan Shi to the Taoye Lane of Fulu Street, where the four surnames and ten clans are gathered, it is very tacit and perfunctory. But the real big and troublesome thing, or the next three parties of the Imperial Court Rite Department, Qin Tianjian and the Academy will gather here to carry out the matter of sealing the mountain god and river god, if it is not the matter of the mountain god, the resistance is too great, so that Your Majesty is a little hesitant, otherwise even Your Majesty will come to our Longquan County in person. ”

Wu Yuan saw that their faces were more solemn than the other, took out the dry cake and bit it vigorously, and joked easily: "The big temple of the mountain god, can it be built on the Piyun Mountain in our jurisdiction in the end, and can it become the new Dali Beiyue, it is really not something we can mix, we are the small fish and shrimp in the county government, so don't gnaw on the dry cake and the heart of the central minister, and toss with those officials and men dressed in yellow and purple." ”

The mood of the people around me improved slightly.

Wu Yuan silently nibbled on the dry cake, hesitated, and said vaguely: "There is news, which is both good news and bad news. After the fall of the Lu Dynasty, how to settle those remnants of the country has always been a big problem, our Longquan County will receive 5,000 to 10,000 prisoners next, mixed with fish and dragons, three religions and nine streams, so the Dali military will closely supervise all the way, responsible for the relocation of this group of criminals who wear criminal bodies here. The advantage is that Longquan County is finally a bit of a big county, and the disadvantage is that it is a miasma, which makes us even more unfamiliar with the place even more unable to start, and we have to work hard to win over those local snakes who choose to stay in the town. ”

The young man who came from a family but became a secretary asked, "Can you divide and rule those big clans?"

Wu Yuan shook his head without hesitation and said, "It's difficult." Who wants to believe us?"

Wu Yuan said in a deep voice: "Instead of being self-defeating and startling the snake, it is better to take your time, we have come to this place where the historical origin is extremely complicated, you are naturally following me Wu Yuan to win a brilliant future, but we must be clear about one thing, the great tempering under the great predicament, in order to exchange for great wealth, so if any of you want to be promoted and make a fortune in a year or two, I think you can turn around and leave now, and I Wu Yuan will help you with the road expenses." ”

The six civil and military secretaries looked resolute, and none of them had the mind to retreat.

Wu Yuan said softly: "Remember, remember, don't act impatiently. ”

This is by no means Wu Yuan's empty words, but not long after entering the town, he suffered a loss, when the official forces of Dali were dispatched to suppress the Ziyanhe Qi practitioner, it was he Wu Yuan who insisted on going his own way, risking being held accountable by the imperial court, decisively cutting first and then playing, trying to break the deadlock, first win the favor of Ruan Shi, and then use the momentum of the saint to suppress the four surnames and ten clans in the town.

It turned out that His Majesty the Emperor was not held responsible, but the reaction of the sage Ruan Shi at that time made Wu Yuan sweat profusely, and he couldn't wait to slap himself.

Someone asked curiously: "Those remnant prisoners are used to work as coolies for qi practitioners and help open up barren mountains?"

Wu Yuan nodded and said: "In addition, the imperial court officials will also let the Qi Practitioner drive two young golden apes over, plus the Jieling armor and the mountain puppets of the Daomen Fu Gong Sect, and strive to open up all the more than sixty mountains within ten years, Taoist temples, pavilions, and pavilions." ”

The young people around Wu Yuan all showed fascination.

On the other side of the town, there are tall buildings everywhere, and in the deep mountains, there are more immortal mansions.

Everyone looked at each other and smiled, all without saying a word. As the first group of officials in the history of Longquan County, they are destined to be recorded in history, how dare they not work together and serve Wu Yuan, the backbone of the future who is destined to have a great future?

————

On the top of Piyun Mountain, a handsome young man with a mole on his eyebrows waved his sleeves casually, and the sea of clouds halfway up the mountain was pushed aside from side to side, trying his best to look into the distance, and at the end of the line of sight, an ox cart and a carriage appeared.

He smiled happily: "Bet and gamble." Qi Jingchun, if I win this bet, then the two incense sticks you left behind will be completely cut off. Poor and pitiful. ”

The young man twisted a seal with two fingers, and the seal text was "the world welcomes spring".

The smiling young man's fingers suddenly exerted force, and the seal cracked, turning into powder, and quickly dissipated between heaven and earth.

The reason why it is so easy to crush the seal is because of the true meaning of the four characters, such as people's hearts are frustrated and disappointed, so they have already dissipated automatically.

He quickly retracted his gaze, and finally saw a young man with a basket on his back, walking alone towards the town.
