Today seems to be a good day, the zodiac is weekly, everything is possible.

From Tian Shuhou of Caotou Village to Dai Yunong, and then to the golden-bodied villain of Feisheng City and Dai Yudai, it seems that they all have merit in opening the book, and they can understand it at one point.

Since everything is feasible, the old man naturally has to plan everything.

Dai Yunong of Caotou Village seems to have been idle because Song Qing'a left.

And the old man of Ascension City is just the opposite, if Yan Qing was there, he might not be so busy now if he borrowed her hand to manage it openly and secretly.

For example, the expansion of Caotou Village is quite troublesome.

To expand a city from a small matter, you have to pay attention to the local customs, sacrifice to the gods, and carefully consult the local records to see if there are any ancestral graves in this place to relocate in time.

In terms of major events, it is not money and labor, geography and feng shui, geology and soil, city wall diversion and reconstruction, etc., all things are complicated.

But fortunately, on the day Jun Xu stepped down, I don't know if he was instructed by a master, or he understood the phrase "slow hiding and stealing, smelting and prostitution" very thoroughly, and handed over all the money and treasures he benefited from during his tenure to the inner treasury of the city lord's mansion, leaving only three or four percent, and he had no merit and hard work.

With Jun Xu's fairy money, the latter few things are almost not a problem, even if there is no money, you can gather a large number of people just by relying on face.

Today, in the study of the City Lord's Mansion, only the vice president of the Sanjiu Academy was discussed, and the other deputy city lord who was like him had already been taken away by the old man.

This deputy city lord who was transferred from the Thirty-Nine Academy to Ascension City and was in charge of the finances of Ascension City was even more graceful and luxurious compared to the vice president of the White Deer Cave Academy.

These two people were born in different academies, and their roots are also very different, this vice president surnamed Yan Shu Zi Shouqian, was born in a scholarly family, and lived a prosperous early life, and several generations of his family were serious scholars, and his family was full of thousands of books.

When he was a child, he laid a literary foundation in a good family environment and was deeply rooted in Confucianism, which was obviously different from the vice president of Bailudong who was born in a poor family, whose name was Tao Qian, and his name was Yunbo.

One is in charge of finance, the other is good at personnel, and there is a clear distinction.

A scholarly family, a poor disciple, the difference between cloud and mud.

But the two of them are both scholars, the vice presidents of the academy, and the deputy city lords of a flying city.

Tao Qian and Yan Shu have worked together in this Ascension City for so long, although they are now similar, Tao Qian does not feel that Yan Shu is noble but now he is on an equal footing with him and has a sense of contempt.

In fact, Tao Qian's first acquaintance with Yan Shu was more of a restraint, and he still felt in his heart that the vice president from a poor family would always be inferior to a child of a family like Yan Shu.

Just like above Fang Yunzhou's temple, the son of a prime minister and the son of the six departments, both of them can really be on an equal footing?

"What about your Yanshu scholarly family, what about being immersed in famous books and thousands of volumes, isn't it just a vice president like him now?" On the contrary, from the first time we met, I admired Yanshu very much.

Because at that time, Yan Shu walked quickly to Tao Gan, held his hand and asked, "Your Excellency is a 'noble son of a poor family' Tao Qian's scholar?" Tao Qian originally thought that Yan Shu would either be lukewarm to him, and then suffer some cold words, but he didn't expect Yan Shu to be so enthusiastic.

This made Tao Qian very flattered, Sanjiu School is located in Fang Yunzhou, deeply affected by the temple atmosphere, the three words of scholar are very high in the local vanity, for example, sword cultivation is called sword immortal.

At first, Tao Qian thought that Yan Shu was selling his reputation and pretending to be like this, but in the next days of working together, Yan Shu not only taught Tao Qian 'the way to be an official', but also asked many times without shame.

For example, a few days ago, after Mi Zhengze was promoted to the position of city lord, Yan Shu specially asked Tao Qian, asking him whether he was wearing an orthodox Confucian shirt or was it good to be casual and ordinary?

In fact, Yan Shu had a plan in his heart at that time, but he was a little uncertain, thinking that anyway, if they work together together in the future, they don't have to look up and see each other, so they don't have to pretend to do what they want.

But Tao Qian told him that of course dealing with ordinary people is very real and casual, but this old gentleman was born in the Spring and Autumn Period not long after the collapse of Zhou Li, even if it has been ten thousand years, the wind and bones are still there, it doesn't matter what you wear, but wearing a Confucian shirt must be more good. Sure enough, Tao Qian and Yan Shu were both able to drink heartily in front of Mi Zhengzheng that day.

I have to say that this humble man is not a big man.

But the same treasurer Yanshu is also not an ordinary person. Make the best use of things, make the best use of talents, and use their strength, the Temple of Literature has always been a perfect master.

"Shou Qian, you have collected all my money, you can't be stingy with the cost of the expansion of Flying Ascension City. ”

Yan Shu was stunned for a moment, where is this? When did you receive a penny from your old man? From the first day your old man took office, the first wine and meal he drank were still sent by me and Tao Qian from our own pockets!

"Old man, where did you start?" Yan Shu, who came back to his senses, couldn't sit still and hurriedly asked, saying that the people below bribed their bosses, but they had never heard of Shangfeng bribing the people below, and they were Confucian disciples who valued the word reputation the most, and he didn't carry this black cauldron.

The old man snorted, put on a look of your kid pretending to be confused and scolding, and said: "Slow hiding and stealing, Ye Rong and prostitution" He and his husband Jun Xu understand you don't understand?

This time it scared Yan Shu, as the old saying goes, there are three fires when a new official takes office, and this old gentleman has been in office for so long, let alone three fires, and even wisps of green smoke have not come out, how can this feel like a fire is going to burn on his head?

Yan Shu thought in his heart, thanks to not sitting now, otherwise the words 'sitting like pins and needles' that he used to go to school when he was young would have to be used on himself.

Yan Shu was just about to speak, but the old man hurriedly continued to speak, if he wanted to spare people, he had to be reasonable, he could let Yan Shu open his mouth to defend?

The old man's face changed, he looked like a corporal of Lixian, walked out from behind the bookcase, pressed Yan Shu's shoulder, and forced Yan Shu back to his seat, and began to teach with a pleasant face, "Shou Qian, think about it carefully, he Junxu was wantonly collecting money during his tenure, you look at this study, I haven't touched a chair as it is." The old man pointed to the study, and Yan Shu looked at the study.

You don't need to look carefully to know that from the four treasures of the study, to the bookcase, to the bookshelf, to the chair, the tea table, and the teacup, everything is expensive, just like the teacup held by Yan Shu before, and it is known as the most orthodox "official kiln", which has the reputation of 'meat rot and bones'.

It can be seen how ugly Jun Xu's appearance is.

Looking at Yan Shu's thoughtful look, the old man smiled, a good boy can be taught.

"You think about it carefully, Jun Xu will eat so ugly when he takes office, and when he comes to leave, he will spit out all the food and return it to Feisheng City? Return it to you, the Minister of Finance? Return it to the Temple of Literature? If he returned it to the Temple of Literature, he would not have been so greedy earlier. He is not afraid that the old man will think that he is a poor donkey and a poor man, and he has to scatter all his wealth to buy people's hearts? He is not afraid that he will not be able to get out of this Flying Ascension City alive? Do you think that he can get me a zongzi by kowtowing to me a few times?"

Old man Mi's series of questions can be regarded as completely confusing Yan Shu, who was already restless, and really said that the black was white, and scared a vice president and deputy city lord into a white ding.

The old man changed his words and said: "You can collect this money into the inner treasury and report it to the Confucian Temple, and when you collect the money here, even if Jun Xu's husband comes back to settle accounts with you, you will have the Confucian Temple to support you, and there is no big problem." ”

The old man suddenly seemed to remember something, "Oh, I'm afraid that when the time comes, Jun Xu will have a merit in killing demons outside the Great Wall, and he will trouble you with a thick merit book, so it won't be good." ”

After saying this, the old man patted him on the shoulder with a look of enlightenment: "It's okay, it's okay, it's estimated that this city lord won't be able to be a long time, and you will be a decent dean when you go back, and then Jun Xu really doesn't dare to do anything to you." ”

The old man Mi's surprise seemed to hold Yan Shu's heart, pinched it tightly and slowly released it, which completely frightened him, plus the old man Mi had something to say in and out of his words, which not only made Yan Shu breathless, but also some of his brains couldn't turn.

If he Jun Xu was just a disciple of Liangyi Mountain, he Yanshu was not afraid of Jun Xu's trouble with him, but if Jun Xu went to the city for a few years and could come back alive, it was really uncertain.

Yan Shu's body went limp, and he almost slipped off the chair.

"Yo, what's wrong?

Seeing this, the old man looked at Yan Shu, who was pale, and shouted outside, and immediately a maidservant girl walked into the study and helped him out.

Yan Shu walked about a stick of incense, and Tao Qian came uninvited.

The old man frowned, what happened to the two old boys who were really tied together? Finally, they made an appointment to meet Yan Shu alone, and as soon as the front foot left, Tao Qian came on the back foot himself.

The old man hesitated for a moment, but after all, he still didn't let Tao Qian eat this closed door, he wanted to see how good this poor man was.

Tao Qian, who was dusty, walked into the study, and after saluting casually, he stepped forward and spread out the drawings hidden in his sleeves on the bookcase.

Tao Qian was not polite, he put the drawings and saw that there was still a cup of tea on the coffee table on the side, so he drank it clean and said with a smile: "Old gentleman, look at the drawings of this Flying Ascension City, I finally came back from Xiong Yuxian's kid." ”

Xiong Yu was a bricklayer of the Mo family, this Flying Ascension City was able to take root here back then, and his deceased master made great contributions, and now the drawings of this Flying Ascension City were naturally left in his hands.

With the drawings, the expansion of Ascension City can be twice the result with half the effort, at least it will save a lot of money.

The old man glanced at the drawings and then at Tao Qian, and said with a smile: "Just now I was still coaxing and deceiving Shouqian, you will come to relieve him from the siege?

Tao Qian immediately waved his hand and said: "Old man, what are you talking about? Your old man wants to expand Feisheng City, and the two of us, as deputy city lords, must have snacks in our hands, don't we? Shou Qian just has a lot of ink in his stomach, he is okay with abacus, and his handwriting is good, so he is worthy of the post of finance, and the old guy is pedantic, don't worry about him. ”

The old man laughed: "Not pedantic, not pedantic, a few words will make you smart." ”

Tao Qian only promised: "That's good, that's good." ”

"Yunbo, the old man had a good chat with Shou Qian just now, I would like to hear your opinion, I have a lot of money for you, you can take care of this matter. ”

Tao Gan nodded again and again: "The old gentleman found that the drawings have been brought to you, and the money is ready, and the king of heaven and Lao Tzu will definitely have to start construction when he comes." But. ”

Speaking of this, Tao Qian's face was embarrassed and he stopped talking.

The old man said arrogantly: "But it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

"I'm also being entrusted with it. ”

"It's Xiong Yuxian, right?"

Tao Qian nodded and said: "Although the drawings are in his place, but now he is no longer a bricklayer, so there is a reluctant request, I hope that the old gentleman can agree to hand over the expansion to him, and let him continue to complete the project as his master's last wish." ”

The old man touched his chin and asked, "How is this person?"

Tao Qian reported truthfully: "People are not very good, if you don't use him, the drawings can be kept by him, but there will definitely be trouble in the future." ”

If he really wants to find trouble, it is estimated that half of those people in the Mason Company of Feisheng City will stumble on the expansion of Feisheng City, unless the old man gives up their use of them and recruits a new group of bricklayers to go to Diaotai, but in that case, so many people travel through the two worlds, and they still can't get around the Temple of Literature.

Tao Qian continued: "Things come to things, people belong to people, what did he do and lost the identity of a bricklayer, you can not care, I Tao Qian can give you a packing ticket for his ability to do things." ”

"I have two reasons to convince you, one is that he is capable enough, and now he wants to revive his business. Second, because this Flying Ascension City has a lot to do with his master, out of affection, he will definitely put more effort into this matter, and you don't have to doubt this. ”

After hesitating, the old man said: "Since you have a proposal, it must be your consideration, as long as he can implement this project, I can find a way to put his hat on him again." ”

Since Tao Qian doesn't spare the bend, the old man is naturally happy, as for what kind of love there is between Xiong Yuxian and Tao Qian, he doesn't care, Tao Qian is a good person. Even if Tao Qian said that Xiong Yu's ancestors were not good, it would definitely not be really bad.

As for whether Tao Qian appreciates this Xiong Yuxian's ability, or whether the two have any previous relationship, he is even more lazy to mix, he just wants to be a hands-off shopkeeper, and today he said this to Yan Shu and Tao Gan, just to point out and tell them that the expansion of Feisheng City is now the top priority, and the Heavenly King Laozi has to start construction when he comes to this Feisheng City.

I will rob the Temple of Literature in front of you. I'll give you whatever you want, and I still have the incense I have saved after living a lot of years.

Sending Tao Qian away, he tore off the landscape and forbidden study and suddenly darkened, only to find that it was already in the dead of night, and the old man pulled up a mysterious Taoist method again, and suddenly the study was as bright as day.

He sighed and sat back in his chair His eyes were a little distracted, and the days without Lu Kang seemed to be an auspicious day for the zodiac, and everything went well.

In Caotou Village, Dai Yunong lit a candle, the faint candlelight can illuminate the corner of the bookcase, but it can't illuminate the gloom in his heart, and it has to be the book in his hand.

This miscellaneous book has been read, and the gains and losses in his heart, the confusion about the future seems to be disappearing together when he closes the book and exhales.

Without Mr. Zhan by his side, it seems that there are some roads that he can try to walk on his own.

At the end of the book, Zhan Xiaocheng left this paragraph: "I have four hatreds in my life, one hates crucian carp spiny, two hates begonias without fragrance, three hates human affection like paper, and four hates villains rampant." ”

Dai Yunong's mind has been echoing these four sentences, and even in his mind, he already has a picture of what kind of scene Zhan Xiaocheng wrote these four sentences in the first place.

He Dai Yunong understands very well why Zhan Xiaocheng hates crucian carp spiny, the old woman was born in Shangjiang Village, raised by Shangjiang, she grew up eating crucian carp with her mother since she was a child, she loves to eat since she was a child, and she is easy to be stuck in the throat by fish bones since she was a child.

So from Tieguan Road all the way to Shangjiang Village, the old woman was almost stuck to death by fish bones several times.

The second hates that the begonias have no fragrance, and when Zhan Xiaocheng returned to Shangjiang Village and came to the pear tree, he only smelled the fragrance of pear blossoms and did not feel the cold of the begonias.

The three hated people like paper, because the gentleman he admired the most, loved and admired the most, for some reason, never went to Shangjiang Village to take a look at the pear tree.

The four hats villains are rampant, they hate those who sell their fame and reputation, insult their senior sister 'shameless', and some people evaluate their words as 'making long and short sentences, which can twist and turn, light and new, full of postures, and the absurd words of the alleys, and the wanton writing. ’

But no one remembers that the old woman pressed the poem back then.

So back then, Zhan Xiaocheng, who had transferred from Taoism to Confucianism, took a very uncivilized word and pointed blood.

Zhan Xiaocheng's words are bloody.

From 'Begonia Bright Place, Drop by Ten Thousand Bloods'.

Dai Yunong reopened the last page, and he was a little puzzled, why did a person like Mr. Zhan hold a grudge against these four trivial things? Shouldn't it be the injustice of heaven? Shouldn't it be that the people are not living well? Shouldn't it be the bad manners? Shouldn't it be the unkindness of saints?

"Shopkeeper?" the door was pushed open, and You Yanji poked in a head.

It's better to come by chance.

Dai Yunong beckoned to You Yanji and asked him to read the four sentences on the last page. asked, "Where do you think Mr. Zhan's four hatreds come from?"

You Yanji was silent for a moment, his brows furrowed and furrowed, and then he shook his head and wrinkled again.

Dai Yunong sighed, indeed he and You Yanji could understand Mr. Zhan's thoughts.

Seeing that Dai Yunong was a little disappointed, You Yanji finally gave an answer that was the most unsuitable answer.

He was more like asking.

"Hate the world, it should be that you have suffered a lot of grievances in the world, right?"

You Yanji added: "It should be the people around you." ”

Dai Yunong's eyes were a little dim, and the candlelight seemed to be a little about to ember because of this.

He remembered the words of the man named Qi Maoying that day, and remembered the sentence that Zhan said in the city that day: "I have no energy, I am very tired." ”

It must have hurt a lot, but I couldn't find a chair to lean on.
