Seeing Fang Rou standing next to her, she looked at everyone with a smile, and she didn't sit down to eat together, and said, "Why don't you sit down Sister Fang Rou?" ”

Fang Rou smiled slightly and said, "I'll just stand." ”

Xu Yuan said: "She is a woman, and she can become a woman when she stands." Later, if you're hungry, go to the kitchen and get something good. The last sentence was said by Fang Rou.

Wanyue pursed her lips and said, "I'm also a woman, don't I also sit?"

Xu Yuan smiled and said: "You are the number one person in the leader, so naturally it is different." When she sat up, it was out of order. ”

Fang Rou also said: "Thank you, Sister Wanyue, it's not that my husband is unfair to me, in our hometown, women are not allowed to eat at the table, and there has always been this rule." ”

Wanyue muttered, "Okay......" This is in someone else's house, and she said that there is this custom, since this is the case, she can't say anything more.

Ji Qingji is big and has big hands, so he picked up a wine bowl, the bowl was not as big as his hand, he said, "Brother Xu, is there a bigger bowl?"

Xu Yuan was also frightened by his previous moment, and stammered a little: "This ...... This bowl is a big bowl...... Madam...... You go get a basin for Lord Ji......"

Ji Qingji waved his hand and said, "Hey, what a pot, if you don't dislike me for being rude, I'll take the jar and drink it!" Except for Chu Zhongli, everyone was stunned, and Xu Yuan sighed: "Lord Ji is really heroic, it's okay to drink it, it's not enough, I'll call the servant to buy it." ”

After everyone drank and had fun, they dispersed, Chu Zhongli and Ji Qingji had a very good relationship, Ji Qingji lived in Chu Zhongli's room, every time the two slept together, Ji Qingji was too long, and his calves were hanging outside, Chu Zhongli moved two stools for him, and Ji Qingji stretched out.

Ji Qingji said to Chu Zhongli: "Brother Xian, we have settled the people's career these days, there should be no big deal in Linjiang City, I don't know what Brother Xian plans to do next, help my brother." ”

Chu Zhongli said: "Little brother really has something, my eldest brother Chu Zhongqian wrote to me a few days ago, saying that my father is about to be seventy years old. With his father's character and status, he will definitely not pass by casually, he should be in Yingdu, and this banquet will be given special significance. ”

Ji Qingji said: "What Brother Xian said is reasonable, for wealthy nobles, a birthday ceremony is not a birthday ceremony, I don't know what Brother Xian said?"

Chu Zhongli said: "My father, King Chu's birthday, naturally I want to send a congratulatory gift. Originally, there were two thousand taels of silver in the treasury, and I could buy some rare treasures and send them. Now the treasury and I have it here, but it's gone. Therefore, I am worried about the congratulatory gifts. ”

Ji Qingji pondered for a while and said, "According to what Brother Yu can see, even those two thousand taels are not enough. A small city, as long as there is no financial difficulties, the income of half a year is completely two thousand taels, and the city lord of Chu Guoguang has a city of less than 100 people, so even if you take two thousand taels of silver to buy a congratulatory gift, the value of the congratulatory gift is only equivalent to other marquis, if there is a marquis sealed in the fertile land, or the family has quite an asset, it may be given more. If you are just an ordinary marquis, it is indeed enough to give this, but with your status, others will inevitably compare you with the crown prince Zhongqian and the general Zhongkun, so it is not enough at all, and you should not give away treasures that can be bought with money. ”

Chu Zhongli thought about it for a while, and what he said was indeed that he still didn't think about it, if he bought a congratulatory gift for his father in the treasure store, others would definitely be able to see it, if he didn't have the reputation of being a waste, it would be easy to do, but in the past six months, although he exterminated a Niutou Mountain, it was not a very remarkable achievement, and it was equivalent to not overthrowing his reputation as a waste. If you give another gift of this kind yourself, and if you meet a soft-spoken person, you may have to laugh at two sentences: "Isn't this sold in a certain store?" said to Ji Qingji: "What my brother said is very true, so I don't know how to get a congratulatory gift?"

Ji Qingji asked, "What is Ling Zun's birthday?"

Chu Zhongli said: "September 17th. ”

Ji Qingji nodded, and muttered: "There are still two months to ......" Supporting his chin with his hand, he pondered for a long time.

Chu Zhongli asked in a low voice, "What is the best plan for my brother?"

Ji Qingji said, "Two months should be enough." I think without further ado, we can go to the Demon Domain in the territory of Chu State to explore, I am in the late stage of refining gods, Lu Chongxi is in the middle stage of concentrating essence, Wanyue is in the early stage of concentrating essence, and Zhang Yan is in the late stage of condensation, but he is a doctor, which is very useful. Brother Xian, your combat power when you don't summon gods, if I am not wrong, should be between the late stage of concentration and the early stage of god refining. If we were a demon hunting team, it would be very strong. When the time comes, I will be the main attacker, you will be the secondary attacker, Lu Chongxi will be the disturbance, Wanyue will be responsible for clearing the troops, and Zhang Yan will assist. We can be regarded as having a complete lineup, and with our strength, we will definitely be fine if we play some rare natural treasures!"

Chu Zhongli clapped his hands and said: "Good idea! Even if what I hit at that time is not priceless, it is also what I personally hunted for my father's congratulatory gift, which also reflects my heart, and at the same time, let those people of the three major families see that I, Chu Hou, don't just eat!"

The two discussed properly, then turned off the lights and went to sleep, Chu Zhongli was inexplicably excited, excited for two or three hours, and did not fall asleep until the second half of the night.

The next day, Chu Zhongli and Ji Qingji summoned everyone to the government affairs hall and announced the incident, and Wanyue jumped on the table excitedly and shouted, "Haha! Master is going to take me to the Demon Domain for an adventure!"

Lu Chongxi arched his hand and said: "Lu has just joined, and he has always wanted to play for the lord, and this is the opportunity." ”

Zhang Feizi said with a smile: "It's good, it's good, let's go, it's just that I can't see everyone for a while, I really want to think about it, so I can only relieve my boredom every day in Linjiang City." ”

Chu Zhongli looked at Zhang Feizi and said with a wicked smile: "Hehe, you want to be beautiful, you can't go this time, how useful you are, those who can work hard." ”

Zhang Feizi pouted: "Alas, I ran so far again, and my legs are tired." ”

Chu Zhongli said: "After the fight, let's go to Yingdu for dinner." ”

After Zhang Feizi heard this, a pair of eyes on his black and fat face instantly lit up: "Eat the feast?!

After Chu Zhongli finished arranging, he asked these people to go back to pack their things, and then in addition to him and Ji Qingji, there were still Feng Yi, Cai Tai, and Xu Yuan in the house. Chu Zhongli said: "The three of you are responsible for the affairs of Linjiang City, and the responsibility is equally heavy. Xu Yuan. ”

Xu Yuan said: "Yes!"

Chu Zhongli said: "After I leave, you are responsible for demolishing the city wall, and then converting part of the standing army into a security army, we don't need so many troops." ”

Xu Yuan was stunned after hearing this, not knowing why, but he still said, "Yes." ”

Ji Qingji looked at Chu Zhongli and said, "Are you doing this because of what happened last time?"

Chu Zhongli nodded and said: "Yes, I know from what happened last time, the small city of Linjiang is vulnerable in front of the Wu State, if it really fights, it cannot become a bridgehead against the Wu State, it can only become the grass ash under the wheels of the Wu State." I know the situation of the Chu State, it is impossible to defend itself against the enemy outside the country, and even if it is victorious, some cities on the border will definitely fall. In this case, it is better to set it up as a city that is open to all sides, develop the economy more, and let the other cities of Chu and Wu get the benefits of trade, so that even if the enemy captures it, I believe that this city will not be destroyed. ”

Ji Qingji was silent, Xu Yuan didn't understand much, but Cai Tai clapped his hands and said: "Clever plan, wonderful plan! If the value of this city is in the economy and not in the military, then it will not be destroyed militarily." Even if there is really that day, the common people will not be treated cruelly, Chu Hou really loves the people like a son!"

Chu Zhongli said: "Lao Cai, when the time comes, you will open up more economic areas, so that rich businessmen can pay to build all kinds of money-making places, we can make a lot of money by taking them to sleep, as long as the law and order are not chaotic." In addition, you have to open up two areas, one to build Buddhist temples and the other to build Taoist temples, and you have to stay away from those economic areas, especially casinos and the like, which must not be close. ”

Cai Tai arched his hand, waved slightly, and said, "Obey." ”

Chu Zhongli said to Feng Yi again: "Feng Yi, you let the brothers of Eagle Eye send a letter to the major temples of the Buddha forces, saying that Chu has long had the heart of the Buddha and wants to worship the Buddha in Linjiang City, so in the Linjiang City Buddhist Temple, I hope to use Linjiang City as a place for the Buddha forces to stay, and invite senior monks from all over the world to stay here." ”

Ji Qingji clapped his hands and said: "This is the stroke of God! Where the Buddha's power is located, it often transcends the secular law, and the Buddha's power is all over the world, and its overall strength is far stronger than that of any country, so it can be said that no single country in the world dares to offend them." If a part of Linjiang City is built into the territory of the Buddha's forces, then Linjiang City will not be so simple......! In this way, Linjiang City will not be all yours. ”

Chu Hou groaned: "Indeed, in this way, Linjiang City is not all my Chu Zhongli. However, my husband is only in the four seas, and my purpose is not only to stay in Linjiang City for the rest of my life, but after I leave, I can't let Linjiang City be ravaged by the war, and make it a non-military economic and cultural city, so that they can stay away from the war, this is what I did for the people of Linjiang before I left. ”

Ji Qingji showed an approving look and said, "Brother admires you even more now." Feng Yihe didn't have the talent of Chu Zhongli, but under Chu Zhongli's explanation, he also understood his intentions.
