"My Lord, what are you doing?"
One deep breath followed by another.
Qi Shan was afraid that his blood pressure would soar, and he would do something irrational under impulse - is it true that all his masters have such strange hobbies? Looking at all his masters, none of them had such a special liking for riding pigs as she did...
The previous lords all had different hobbies...
I like power, good wine, money, elegance, Cuju, good horses, and Huagai... At worst, I just like beautiful women. Regardless of the character of the previous lords, their preferences are not out of touch with the public aesthetic taste.
But the lady in front of him has a different hobby. She doesn't like BMW horses, she just likes riding pigs around.
Qi Shan felt a bit heart-broken whenever he thought about this.
But Chu Yao was still "comforting" himself.
Sighed and said: At least I don’t like playing in the mud.
Pray for goodness: …
Is there anything so comforting
(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
After entering Fugu City, Qishan watched his master become visibly busy and never approached the pigpen again, so he breathed a sigh of relief. But he was only half relieved, as his master "reverted to his old ways" and played with the mountain boar again.
Qishan couldn't help but doubt.
Were we the ones who neglected our lord
Or is it that it's boring for the lord because he has no peers to play with
The cunning boar wearing a saddle tried to hide its huge body behind its master, as if Qishan would not be able to see it. Qishan was almost amused by its cowardly look. What a pig that takes advantage of its master! Humph!
Shen Tang touched his nose with a guilty conscience: "Yuanliang, listen to my explanation - things are not as you see!"
Qi Shan waited leisurely for Shen Tang to talk nonsense.
"I am trying out the activity myself."
Qishan pointed at the mountain boar and was amazed.
"The activity is... riding a pig?"
He thought it was horse racing or archery or something like that.
If you don't have a horse, you can ride a mule or a donkey.
But why is it a mountain pig
Qishan was shocked and expressed his incomprehension.
Shen Tang choked when he heard this, and argued, "But, but isn't that more down-to-earth? Yuanliang, think about it carefully. Not to mention ordinary people, even among the private troops we have incorporated, most of them have not touched or ridden a horse, let alone horsemanship. To put it another way, they are very familiar with riding horses, but horses are also divided into different grades. How can a low-quality horse be compared with the warhorse of a brave and courageous warrior? The warhorses of a brave warrior are also divided into different grades. The higher the level of the brave, the better the warhorse... In an ordinary horse race, the outcome is completely unpredictable, and the one-sided situation is boring to watch..."
Qishan's look seemed to change.
What my lord said makes sense.
A well-matched match is worth watching.
Participants enjoyed themselves and spectators were satisfied.
Could it be that I really misunderstood my lord
He said seriously, "Please give me your instructions, my lord."
Shen Tang breathed a sigh of relief from an angle where he couldn't see, and continued to talk nonsense with his eyes open: "As the saying goes, 'experts see the doorway, laymen see the excitement'. If you want the common people to enjoy the show, there shouldn't be too many overly elegant and civilized events. Let the participants race horses to see who gets to the finish line first, or let the participants ride pigs to see who gets to the finish line first. Which do you think the common people would like to watch more?"
Qishan fell into deep thought.
Shen Tang answered on behalf of the common people.
"I definitely prefer the latter."
Common people don't know which warhorse is better, has better bloodline, or runs faster, but they definitely know which pig is fatter and runs harder. Under the condition of ensuring safety, various situations can cause more entertainment.
Shen Tang wanted to verify his own guess, which led to Qi Shan's blood pressure soaring. He had no selfish motives at all.
Qishan's expression did not reveal whether he had been fooled or not, and he said in an unclear tone: "In this case, Shan has misunderstood the lord."
"Yuanliang, you don't have to apologize. I don't blame you."
"..." Qi Shan thought about how many heart pills he should take later, and said helplessly, "But even so, the lord shouldn't go out to play on the ice - if the ice cracks and the water flow under the ice is unknown, what should the lord do if he is in danger?"
What made Qishan's blood pressure soar was not just the fact that he was riding a pig around, but also the place where his lord was running!
Her weight plus a boar's...
How can the ice surface withstand such treatment
Shen Tang always responded to soft words and not to hard ones. Seeing Qi Shan soften her tone and being worried about her safety, she naturally couldn't make any more jokes. She said, "Ahem - I just wanted to test how thick the ice was. I promise there won't be a next time!"
What else can Qishan do
Just believe her lies for now.
Shen Tang led the mountain boar back to the shore, walking very quickly, and even breathing heavily during such a short distance.
"I've tried the ice, it's absolutely safe. We can organize some activities on the ice later. Does Yuanliang know about ice skating?"
"Know."
"Do you know about the robbery?"
“I know that.”
“I think it’s good to hold such an event.”
The so-called "rushing to wait" is the modern "speed skating".
Everyone lined up, and when the arrows were fired, everyone rushed to one place.
The ranking is based on the time of arrival.
In addition to this, you can also play Cuju on ice - the collision of strength and strength, the competition of speed and speed, and when you get angry, you can even have a one-on-one fight. It is guaranteed to be very interesting.
"… Also, you can perform martial arts on ice! Things like the Thousand-Jin Pendant, Double Flying Swallow, Scorpion Tail Swing, Golden Rooster Stand… Dancing with swords and guns on ice is also pretty cool. It would be so cool if Bai Su could use her long spiked double swords on ice."
Shen Tang kept talking until his mouth became dry.
He took off the water bag from his waist and moistened his mouth and tongue.
Seeing that Qishan didn't respond for a long time, he urged him in dissatisfaction.
"Yuanliang, are you listening?"
Qishan then answered.
"I will remember the Lord's words."
Shen Tang said: "So what do you think of my idea?"
Qishan's tone seemed a little hard to describe: "In terms of how to play and have fun, Shan is far inferior to the lord."
Shen Tang inexplicably felt a cold wind blowing into his neck.
She shrank her neck, feeling guilty.
Qi Shan waited for a while and found that his master seemed to be silenced and remained silent, so he asked, "Besides what we just said, does the master have any other ways to play?"
Shen Tang didn't realize for a moment that he was asking her.
"Ask me?"
Qi Shan said: "Of course."
I must add that it is Shen Tang.
"Although Wuhui and Jishou have good ideas, they are too highbrow to be accepted by the public. They are definitely not as popular as the Lord."
The main purpose of this activity is to relax.
Picture the lively atmosphere.
The common people can enjoy the show to their heart's content, and the soldiers can also have fun.
Speaking of this, Shen Tang is no longer sleepy.
She has lots of interesting ideas in mind.
Many of them are still playable under the current conditions.
Qi Shan asked: "Is there any way for common people to participate?"
Shen Tang asked back: "Are you going to open the market as a banker?"
Qishan: “…”
Shen Tang: “…”
Qi Shan said in an inexplicable tone: "This is suitable for Kang Jishou."
When Kangshi bets on big, he bets on small; when Kangshi bets on small, he bets on big.
It’s really a good way to make a fortune.
A trip around the casino can make you lose so much that the casino cries out for help.
Qishan seemed to know that Kangshi had been wandering outside for so many years and had little contact with his family, so he wondered where the funds came from.
His literary skills are designed to exploit casinos.
Shen Tang chuckled guiltily.
In fact, she really wanted to secretly become the banker and organize a betting competition. On the surface, she was playing with the common people, gambling for fun, but in fact, she could make as much money as possible.
After all, she was really poor.
Although we are financially well-off now, we are still afraid of being poor.
Others are afraid of insufficient firepower, but she is afraid of insufficient money. Only by getting more and more money and food can this symptom be alleviated. If we go back and use Kang Jishou, the killer weapon, we will definitely make money, hehe.
only-
This idea was suppressed by Qishan before it could be implemented.
Who made Qishan so picky
Gambling is not a good job and gentlemen should avoid it.
Qishan went back to organize various sports events.
List the major and minor items one by one.
Because it is entertainment, the venue is relatively casual.
The onshore project was settled in the southwest corner of Fugu City where demolition was completed. The area was large and perfect for a temporary market.
Kang Shi has already met with several merchants who have been doing business in Fugu City for many years, and has offered to lend them money at low interest rates so that they can use the money to go to other places to purchase a batch of New Year goods. Some common people who have connections or a keen sense of smell have also followed suit.
Qishan cooperated with Kangshi's action and gave the green light.
The common people, attracted by the slogans of "high salary" and "full food", also actively applied and participated in the reconstruction of Fugu City.
As you step into the city, you can see busy people everywhere.
Everywhere began to come alive.
It was in stark contrast to the dead silence not long ago.
"Meet Mr. Shen, meet Mr. Qi."
"Meet Mr. Shen!"
"It's really Mr. Shen—"
"No need to be so polite, just go about your business. I'm just passing by." Shen Tang greeted everyone he met with a smile.
Her face was not unfamiliar to the common people of Fugu City who were working there, and was even very familiar.
Shen Tang himself was a humble person. He would take time out from time to time to come over and ask Chu Yao if he needed any help. Occasionally, he would lend a hand and help move bricks and carry wood. As the common people were working, they would find the short worker next to them looked familiar.
After a few visits, we became familiar with each other.
"Don't run around, be careful not to fall." Shen Tang was quick to stop the child who was running around on the road and almost hit his own child. Before he could say a word of advice, the child had already run away as fast as a flash, with other children following behind him.
"Slow down!" Shen Tang warned the receding figure.
But how can you listen to a child when he goes crazy
Neither parents can control me.
Seeing that it didn't work, Shen Tang helplessly put his hands on his waist and smiled bitterly: "These kids are really energetic."
Qi Shan looked at the children who were caught and punished by their parents, with their heads hanging down, and couldn't help but smile and sigh: "Isn't this great? This is all thanks to the lord. These children will also be the lord's most staunch supporters in the future."
Not long ago, the parents of these children were troubled by hunger. They drank a bowl of thin porridge every day, went to bed early, and reduced outdoor activities so that they would get hungry slower.
This is the case even for adults, let alone children.
It is a luxury to have enough energy to run around and play after eating.
But Shen Tang didn't think so.
He just shook his head: "It's good enough that they can live and grow up safely. Fans? If you become my fans, you will get killed at any time."
She did this not for the support of many people, but just hoped that there would be fewer tragedies in what she saw and heard.
Qishan did not comment on this.
As long as people's hearts are in favor, everyone will be a supporter.
His master will become a warm and bright red flame, and people in the dark will automatically gather around it when they see it. What needs to be done now is to add more dry wood to this flame to make it as big as possible!
Qi Shan thought about it and was lost in thought for a while.
When he came to his senses, he heard his master asking him, "Yuanliang, are you listening to me?"
Qishan: “…”
It turns out that—
You really can't be distracted in front of a talkative lord.
Not even for a moment.
No one knew how much she could say at this moment.
Qi Shan reluctantly said, "Shan didn't hear clearly..."
Shen Tang: “…”
The words of the scholar are indeed deceiving. When they were outside the city, they told her, "I will remember all the words of the lord." How come he has forgotten them in such a short while? She muttered to herself and repeated her inspiration again.
"I mean - we're already building something, so we might as well get on with it."
Shen Tang pointed at the common people who were working hard, and then pointed at the rough foundation with a rough outline - in the near future, a brand new and solid house will appear here.
"The reconstruction in the southwest corner is expected to be completed in late spring or early summer, but doesn't Yuanliang think it's discordant? This area is so neat and new, while other parts of Fugu are messy and dilapidated. Most of the common people's houses are still dangerous and may collapse at any time."
Qishan: “…”
He didn't know whether he should remind his master that most of the government office where she lived had collapsed, but the houses of the common people were still standing.
However, Shen Tang's worries are not unreasonable.
But the problem is—
Qishan said, "My Lord, we don't have enough money."
It is not enough to repair all the houses for common people.
Those budgets have other uses.
After the wasteland is reclaimed, it will all be rented out to the common people before spring ploughing, and the money will have to be used to buy enough seedlings.
Qi Shan's plan was to discuss the purchase with Wu Xian. As his lord's former good ally, good "brother" and current good neighbor, he had to help.
It’s not that they don’t pay, it’s just that the money they pay is too little.
If you don't give any -
Haha, Qin Li under Wu Xian was the first one to disagree.
In a nutshell, if you don’t have enough money, just give up.
Shen Tang was so disappointed that he tried to communicate with him by gesticulating with his hands: "Why is Yuanliang so stubborn? We should think divergently. Do you know what 'pre-sale housing', 'mortgage', 'developer', and 'mortgage' mean?"
Listening to a series of unfamiliar words, Qishan gave up trying to understand their meaning and just copied the homework.
He said, "I don't know."
Shen Tang: “…”
Qishan looked at her and humbly asked for advice.
"The general routine is this, come closer and listen." Shen Tang looked around to make sure that no one was trying to put a sack on him, then he waved to Qi Shan, motioning him to squat down and listen, "We don't have money now, and we have to spend money to hire common people to work. What does this mean? It means that the money has gone into the hands of the common people, do you understand? We take money from them and build houses for them, and the job will be done!"
Qishan: “???”
His expression perfectly illustrates what "subway grandpa face" means. He even couldn't help but use the back of his hand to measure the temperature of Shen Tang's forehead. Otherwise, why would he start talking nonsense out of the blue? ?
