"Have a side job?"
Kang Shi is also considered to be well-informed.
But I have never seen a lord who speaks so shockingly...
Shen Tang: "Isn't this just too poor to be helped?"
If there was any other choice, she wouldn't want it.
One job is tiring enough.
If you start a side job, it will be worse than 007.
Kang Shi was choked by Shen Tang's matter-of-fact response.
I couldn't help but start to seriously reflect on a question -
Are they really so poor that they need the lord to start a side job? Or is it that the Fugu fiscal deficit has frightened the lord, and he thinks that every territory he conquers in the future will have to repeat the current reconstruction path? No way
Kang Shi pondered for a long time.
He tried to find out: "My Lord, what kind of side job do you want to do?"
"Picture book!"
As we all know, she is a painter.
Before she traveled through this world and took up the post of lord, she was a painter who supported her family with her superb painting skills, and her professional ability was much stronger than that of a lord.
The paintbrush is her eating bowl.
Starting a side job and picking up the paintbrush again is definitely the best choice.
Kang Shi misheard.
"Storybook? Could it be that Gu Wangchao—"
Kang Shi thought that it was Gu Chi who led Shen Tang astray.
He also discovered that Gu Chi had this hobby by accident. At that time, he thought this person was really interesting. But now it seems that - Gu Wangchao, Gu Wangchao, you are really misleading the young people.
He said flatly: "This is not right!"
Shen Tang wanted to hear his advice: "What's wrong?"
What does it have to do with Gu Chi
Kang Shi's mind suddenly changed, and he quickly came up with an excuse that was not really an excuse: "Compiling a storybook takes a lot of energy, and in a poor and remote place like Fugu, no one can appreciate your masterpiece. Even if you can do it, I'm afraid no one will understand it."
Even if it rained knives from the sky, they couldn’t hit a single person who could read.
Even if one has great literary talent and writes beautifully...
Who can appreciate it
Not to mention paying for it.
Shen Tang gave Kang Shi a score of 99 for this reason.
He said with a disappointed look on his face: "You have a point. The people here may not be able to appreciate my art. I have to think of other ways. I have to do this side job..."
She took it for granted.
Her painting skills were very strong, but she overlooked two important points - the printing technology in this world was crude, and photocopying had to be done by hand; papermaking efficiency was low, quality was low, and cost was high.
This limited her ability to distribute picture albums on a large scale.
Even if it is forced to be sold, common people cannot afford it.
If they can't afford it, Shen Tang won't be able to make money.
so-
In order for her to run her side business smoothly, she had to solve these two major problems first. Only by lowering the sales cost of the album as much as possible so that ordinary people could easily afford it, could Shen Tang's side business be launched in full swing. She crossed her arms and lowered her head in thought.
But he didn't know that Kang Shi was also worried.
He realized that he had not completely dispelled Shen Tang's idea, so he prepared to go back and talk to Qi Shan - Yuan Liang had known the Lord the longest and had the deepest friendship with him, so his words should be effective...
Bar
Qishan, who was highly expected by Kangshi, said: "… "
If his words worked, would the lord be seduced by that cunning, crude and ugly boar again and again
"You said that the Lord wants to start a sideline business of painting books?"
Kang Shi said: "What should we do?"
It's not that the lord can't have personal hobbies, but this hobby can't affect his career! Doing the lord's main job well is also very promising. As long as the territory is managed, there will be a lot of people to make money for the lord in the future.
As long as you work hard, poverty is only temporary.
Qi Shan did not show the worry that Kang Shi thought he did, but the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and his eyes and eyebrows were full of indescribable expression.
"Don't worry about it."
Kang Shi said: "But the Lord's temper..."
Although they have been together for a short time, I know Shen Tang’s stubborn nature.
Once you make a decision, you must achieve it.
Qishan didn't want to explain it too clearly, so he just said tactfully: "No one is perfect. There are always some things that we are not good at."
My Lord, your painting skills...
It takes a lot of courage to appear in public.
The common people are just illiterate, not having problems with their aesthetic taste.
Kang Shi: “???”
Qi Shan said: "Ji Shou will know it later." The later you know it, the better, so that the filter of your lord will be broken later.
Kang Shi: “…”
As the opening time of the "First Fugu City New Year Sports Meeting" approached, Shen Tang's chores became less and less as she worked frantically. She was so busy that she still had to find time to secretly plan her side business.
Qishan just pretended that he didn't know about it.
Instead of caring about the sideline business that is doomed to lose money, it is better to talk to Chu Wuhui about the financial arrangements for the coming year, talk to Gu Chi about the progress and distribution plan of wasteland reclamation, and talk to Kang Shi about how many refugees he has taken in recently...
As for himself
Haha, I have to travel on business every now and then.
There is more than one mess in Heyin, Fugu City - Fugu City is the biggest one, but there are also problems in other places that need to be solved urgently. It's not that Shen Tang and his team don't want to clean up, it's simply that they have too few people on hand.
If we send out one, the rest will be exhausted to death.
If not for this, Shen Tang wouldn't have to take the lead in involution.
In addition to this, Qishan also had to go out and look for people who could be used, but there was no progress - people with real ability would not stay in the remote and poor area of Heyin. They would have gone out to explore the world long ago. Qishan really looked down on the rest.
I also need to go out and get some supplies.
Finally, he returned the day before the opening ceremony.
With everyone's concerted efforts, Fugu has made great progress every day. When Qishan came back this time, he saw that several places were completely different from when he left two days ago. With Zhao Feng and two powerful warriors, demolishing the house is the easiest job.
Apart from the surrounding environment, the people in Fugu City have probably seen the biggest changes - their originally skinny and sunken cheeks have become visibly fuller and more vibrant, and their clothes have been upgraded by one or two levels, becoming clean, tidy and thick.
Even Qishan felt a little satisfied.
The "First Fugu City New Year Sports Meet" is the biggest event in recent days, and almost everyone in the government is involved in preparing for it.
The entire process was handled by Shen Tang, who only had to talk and run around, and he also had to refer to the literature and make changes to the details.
Before Qishan stepped into the half-renovated government office, he heard arguing coming from the main hall, which stopped when they saw him appear.
"My Lord, Shan is back." His body was still covered with traces of dew from traveling under the stars and the fatigue on his face could not be concealed, but he still smiled and said, "What are you arguing about with Wuhui and the others?"
It’s strange that there are quite a lot of people here today.
Chu Yao, who had quickly gotten up and disappeared completely, was also there.
"Yuanliang is here. It's just right that you're here. Come and take a look." Shen Tang looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was him. He waved at him and said, "Come and see which of these Word Spirits is suitable for the opening ceremony."
Qishan: “???”
Is he not hallucinating
Why do we have to release the Word Spirit at the opening ceremony
Before he saw what was written on the book, he had already thought about the purpose of the book. He took it and asked, "My lord, are you worried about whether it will rain or snow tomorrow?"
If the weather is extreme, it will indeed affect the opening ceremony. If the weather is bad, the common people will not be willing to come out to watch the games or visit the small market, and the purpose of holding this sports meeting will be greatly reduced. In this case, the word spirit can indeed be used.
The only downside is its large range.
It is definitely not something that one or two literati can handle.
Even if it can, it won't last long.
Chu Yao smiled bitterly: "If it's really a weather problem, it's fine."
The lord has the national seal in his hand, and Fugu is her territory. As the economy and people's livelihood of the territory gradually improve, it is time to accumulate some "national fortune". With these foundations, the combined strength of the literary scholars present can guarantee the weather conditions in the next few days.
but-
That's not what they're arguing about.
Qishan also saw the title of Jianshu clearly, "Plan for the Fireworks Display at the Opening Ceremony of the First Fugu City New Year Sports Games."
"My lord, what is this?"
Shen Tang explained: "The opening ceremony should look like an opening ceremony. The atmosphere is very important, but at the moment there are only firecrackers..."
There was no such thing as gunpowder at the time.
Perhaps some alchemist in other countries on the mainland has come up with it by accident, but it is not available in a remote place like Heyin. The concept of "fireworks" in the market still comes from the spirit of the thief star, but no one knows how to make this thing.
The so-called firecrackers are real firecrackers, literally, burning dried bamboo to make crackling sounds. They are used to add to the atmosphere of happy events.
Chu Yao and the others suggested that they just light firecrackers.
If the sound of the firecrackers is not loud enough, let Gong Shuwu and the others think of a solution. There are many loud words used by Wudan warriors when they fight. If the lethality is not emphasized, the sound will definitely meet Shen Tang's requirements. However, this proposal was rejected.
Shen Tang took a different approach.
The Word Spirit of a Butan Warrior is a Word Spirit.
Are the words of literary scholars no longer spiritual
There's nothing wrong with the logic, but...
When Qishan read the first sentence of the letter, he was speechless - the east wind blows thousands of flowers into bloom at night, and blows down stars like rain.
Does this word spirit look familiar to you
Gong Xichou ate it twice.
Zhang's private troops stationed in the military camp also suffered a setback.
The unlucky ghosts who have met the King of Hell have the right to speak about its lethality.
My master is going to let Fugu go...
He didn't understand it at all and was shocked.
Shen Tang knew he had misunderstood as soon as he saw his expression, and hurriedly explained: "Can't Word Spirits be controlled? Moreover, different Word Spirits have different effects, not all of them have large-scale lethality, some may just look good, right? We need to find this kind of flashy and impractical ones now, maybe we can also open up a new way for Wen Xin Li Shi to make money."
The brave warriors go to farm the land, while the literary men make fireworks.
Qishan continued to read on.
Fire trees and silver flowers are blooming, and the iron locks of the star bridge are opened.
besides-
During the Lantern Festival last year, the lights in the flower market were as bright as day.
There are about twenty densely packed messages.
Each one has comments.
As soon as I saw the flamboyant handwriting, I knew it was the lord's. Her favorite was the first sentence, which was also the one that everyone opposed the most.
If things go wrong, she will burn down Fugu City.
Qi Shan didn't say yes or no, but just asked, "My Lord, why do you insist on adding this?"
Shen Tang said: "No fireworks, no celebration."
Another reason was that she felt the sports meeting was too simple.
The small market was run by many people, so it was not deserted. Common people also liked to go shopping whenever they wanted. The flow of people seemed okay, but it was far from the bustling and lively atmosphere that Shen Tang had imagined. After thinking about it, he felt that the atmosphere was not right.
However, she had limited funds and was pressed for time.
There is no time for a big show.
So he set his sights on Yan Ling.
Can we use the Word Spirit to create a scene where the night is as bright as day and the lights are shining brightly? It would be perfect if there were fireworks to help.
She lay on the couch and became more and more excited the more she thought about it.
I crawled out of my warm bed at night to write a plan.
As a result, the plan was thwarted.
Chu Yao and the others did not completely deny it. They were positive about Shen Tang's idea. If Yan Ling could succeed, it could be used as a gimmick to attract refugees. At the same time, it could also leave the Fu Gu common people who had suffered enough with a beautiful memory that would shock their hearts.
But it is too difficult to operate.
As far as they knew, there were no such fancy and flashy Word Spirits at present. In an environment where Word Spirits were widely used in warfare, no one would study how to use Word Spirits to set off fireworks, especially for the common people to watch. This was like there would be no brave warriors who would practice and climb up the ladder just to become an old ox to plow the fields for the common people. It was a fantasy.
The latter was only possible thanks to Shen Tang’s best efforts.
The former is too difficult to implement.
What if Fu Gu is accidentally destroyed
Surprise turns into shock
"Beautiful things are born with a healing power! People who have seen it will become obsessed with it. I think every commoner who sees this grand spectacle will yearn for a prosperous and peaceful world." Shen Tang said sincerely, "The fireworks are fleeting in the sky, but they can plant a flame in their hearts - I hope you can help me!"
Everyone was moved when they heard this.
Planting...
The flame of prosperity and peace
Shen Tang's previous persuasion and jokes had failed to sway them in the slightest, but these few simple words made Chu Yao, who had the strongest will, change sides first, and his eyes became more gentle: "My lord, what you said makes sense, we might as well give it a try."
Kang Shi said: "Try... But—"
How do I try this
Word spirits are not something that can be used arbitrarily.
Gu Chi: "My Lord, now that you say that, I am actually looking forward to the grand ceremony described by the many Word Spirits."
Not only him, but many literati and scholars are curious about this.
Hundreds of countries on the mainland have been fighting each other for more than two hundred years.
The troubled times never ended.
No one has ever seen what a peaceful and prosperous era should be like.
People can only guess a little from the few words spoken by the Word Spirit. The more they understand, the more empty and hollow they feel inside.
In their impression, words are used for war or power struggles, and they have never thought of other uses - words that are not used for war are also abandoned.
Kang Shi then asked a very fatal question.
"How do you try it?"
Yes, how to try
Without knowing the effect of the Word Spirit after using it, if I rashly use it at the opening ceremony tomorrow, I will accidentally send the common people of Fugu City who are here to watch the excitement to the sight of King Yama. Time is so tight, can the Word Spirit be fully controlled in just a few hours
Gu Chi heard Shen Tang's thoughts clearly.
He glanced at everyone with a smile.
Probe: "Gathering our strength, it shouldn't be difficult to resist the might of the Lord's words."
Everyone: “…”
After thinking for a long time, this is the bad idea
Gu Chi didn't think it was bad at all.
He was the one who knew Shen Tang's identity best - just based on the fact that Shen Tang woke up from a mysterious coffin, her identity was very mysterious - what ordinary people couldn't do, she might be able to do.
Before this, was there any scholar who was so good at fighting
