Behind me is the earth

Everyone was truly envious that Hu Jixiang could find a son-in-law like Chen Dachui.

As a businessman, if you have an official in your family, even if you don't collude with officials and businessmen, this means that you have one more channel, one more talisman, and one more layer of background.

Especially after the business grows, such a background can be dispensed with, but cannot be left out.

Because of Chen Dachui's existence, everyone has more confidence in investing in the west. Soon, the atmosphere in the private room became lively.

"Squeak~"

The door to the private room was pushed open, and a woman wearing stockings and a knee-length skirt walked in.

As soon as she appeared, she immediately attracted the attention of the men in the private room.

"Qiu Yun'er!"

A man wearing glasses couldn't help but take off his mirror when he saw the person coming in, rubbed his eyes and said in surprise.

"Good old friend?"

Hu Jixiang asked with a smile.

"No, Qiuyun is a famous singer in the Jiaofang Division of Nanyang City. When I was in the capital last year, I listened to Feng Geer's music in Lifeng Tower with a few noble people, and I still remember it fresh.

Unexpectedly, I could meet Qiuyun in Qidu! "

Glasses couldn't help but sigh.

"Isn't this just a chance to meet each other thousands of miles away?"

Others laughed.

"Qiuyun, thank you sir for your concern."

Qiuyun also heard the words of the glasses, held the pipa in his arms, and gave the glasses a blessing.

"Qiuyun, the Nanyang earthquake, how did you escape?"

Glasses asked curiously.

"The Li Feng Tower collapsed at that time, but the Nu family had some luck. It happened that the collapsed beam blocked the falling object from above, and it was buried underground for four days before being rescued.

After that, the Nu family was brought back to Yuzhou by General Zhao of Yuzhou. Later, as the people of Yuzhou fled, they moved to Qidu and settled down. "

When Qiu Yun talked about his life trajectory, he didn't say any unnecessary words. But everyone here has lived in this chaotic world, and naturally knows how hard it will be for a weak woman in such a world!

And Qiu Yun's experience is just a microcosm of countless people.

There are countless little people in this world who are even more miserable than her.

Hu Jixiang sighed: "It's finally the end of all the hardships."

"Yes, all the hard work has come to an end."

The people present sighed.

"Thank you all gentlemen for your concern."

A sincere smile appeared on Qiuyun's face.

For her, coming to Qidu was truly the end of all hardships.

In the whole world, only in Qi State and here in Wuzhou can ordinary people really live a decent life.

People in other places live worse than animals.

There is no dignity, no money, no food, and no freedom.

Since arriving in Qidu, she has no other skills, so she has returned to her old career, "playing, playing and singing" to entertain people with her art. Even the wealthy gentry and dignitaries did not dare to blatantly attack her while listening to the music. Move your feet.

This is completely different from the situation in Beijing where people were protected because they were being sold by Li Fenglou.

Here, the majesty of the law includes humble singers like them!

This is extremely reassuring.

"Gentlemen, what music do you want to listen to?"

Qiu Yun sat on the flower-legged bench in the front hall, with a gentle smile on his face, and asked everyone.

The glasses felt that Qiu Yun was a little different from the one she had been in Lifeng Tower, and she actually felt like she had been washed away.

"Let the girl choose the first song. Sing whatever you want to play and sing. This song should be dedicated to yourself, girl."

Hu Jixiang said.

After hearing this, Qiu Yun stood up and saluted again. After sitting down, he straightened his slender back, his hair fell gently, and his eyes moved, giving people a sense of perseverance, as firm as joining the party!

Gently pluck the strings with your bare hands, and a few "ding dong" sounds sound like flowing clouds and flowing water, which is refreshing and pleasing to the eye.

"At the end of the clouds, the immortal slays the dragon and comes to the world. The food is ripe and the earth is golden."

"It's not like the human world where people cannibalize other people. The divine light suddenly appears and a true immortal is welcomed into the world."

"He is a great hero of the people, he is a guiding light in the world..."

Qiuyun's singing voice is gentle and full of emotion. Sometimes it is gentle and high-pitched, making people feel as if they are in the sky. Sometimes, it is low and depressing, as if buried in the earth, making people suffocating.

But when she released her emotions and pierced out of the earth, people immediately felt like they were breathing happily, as if they were coming back to earth from hell.

When Chang arrived and made great achievements in his life, his voice became cheerful, as if the people were celebrating the harvest, singing and dancing, and being reborn in the new world.

Her singing voice actually makes people's moods fluctuate with her singing. Even her emotions are affected by her.

When she reached the second half of the song, her voice turned gentle, as if an invisible, warm hand was caressing the tops of their heads, massaging their hearts, so that their tiredness from the ups and downs of emotions could be relieved. became quiet.

After the song was finished, it took a long time for everyone present to open their eyes.

"Thank you Miss Qiuyun."

Hu Jixiang stood up and said to Qiu Yun.

Seeing this, Qiu Yun was flattered and quickly stood up to return the favor: "Sir, you are so polite!"

"The girl's singing made us feel deeply. Without the king, there would be no Qi State today. I think it would be like the northern land, occupied by the barbarians from the north.

You and I may have already lost our families in this chaotic world, or we may have become slaves of the Daru people.

How can I wait here to drink tea and listen to music, discuss investment policies, and find investment directions? "

Hu Jixiang said with emotion.

The rest of the people also nodded: "The country has issued policies, and patriotic businessmen like us should respond positively. What's more, it is something that is beneficial to both ourselves and the country? The soldiers on the front line sacrificed for the country and the people, and the people and workers in the rear actively worked for the country. Production.

Today, merchants like us enjoy unprecedented status and treatment in Qi State. If we don’t support us when things happen, do we have to wait until the king despises us before we think about showing off? "

After listening to Qiuyun's song, everyone present felt excited.

Hu Jixiang picked up the tea cup and took a sip. His eyes couldn't help but glance at Qiu Yun who was sitting on the flower-legged bench.

He felt that Qiuyun's singing seemed to have a magical power that could draw people's consciousness into the artistic conception she created with her voice, and thus affect people's emotions.

To say that it affects people's will is a bit reluctant.

Because these people in front of them are all real businessmen who support Qi State. At most, it resonated with them.

Those who can influence people's will are mostly spiritual aliens.

He felt that Qiuyun should be a strange person in the voice department, and it was impossible for ordinary singers to achieve this level.

"Perhaps I can introduce him to Zhang Fuyin. If I can recommend him to sing on the radio, it will definitely inspire people."

Hu Jixiang thought.

Zhang Qiushi, governor of Qidu, and he were from Le County. They were quite familiar with each other and had many dealings with him on weekdays.

He did not think of introducing him to his son-in-law because his son-in-law was a soldier and his status was not suitable for him to recommend a former brothel girl. As a prefect, it is very normal for Zhang Qiushi to recommend the people under his rule.

Next, Hu Jixiang ordered a song. Qiuyun never sang with such devotion again. His voice was still nice, but he no longer had such an attractive mood.

A few people invested in the development of the western region.

It was not until sunset in Xishan that everyone finally decided to go to Chujiang and Guangnan provinces with smooth roads, large populations, and good foundations to investigate.

Chujiang Province has a large population and smooth roads. As the original center of the south, there are countless nobles and gentry, with strong demand and sufficient manpower.

Although Quang Nam Province has a small population, it has an advantage that other places do not have - the port.

Just outside Guangnan, the Round Island not far away is the ocean trade center of the entire South China Sea. Businessmen from all over the world have gathered here and established a large number of ocean trade distribution points.

If you invest here, it will be very convenient for goods to be shipped to sea in the future.

After mutually agreeing on a time to inspect the two provinces, several people said goodbye to the singer Qiuyun and left the teahouse located on the bank of the Lan Yangtze River in the park.

As soon as they left the park and climbed up the steps on the side of the park to the Blue Yangtze River Bridge, they saw a dozen people walking on the bridge.

Most of these people were wearing Taoist robes, and all of them were injured. The white Taoist priest riding on the white horse in the middle had almost been dyed red with blood. Even the hair of the white horse beneath her was soaked in blood.

"Who are these people?"

Glasses said in surprise.

Under the strong governance of the government, Wuzhou has always been very stable, and most of the martial artists have been recruited by the government. Even the martial arts world has not been able to cause any trouble.

This kind of scene is rarely seen on weekdays.

Therefore, as soon as they walked across the Blue Yangtze River Bridge, they were watched by people.

"Holy girl, we are all here."

A tall man looked at the city in front of him, his eyes full of shock.

I haven’t been back to Wuzhou for many years, but when I came back, there were earth-shaking changes.

Mr. Ren, who called himself "Elder Brother" back then, has now become the king of this country.

On the way back, he was thinking, if Zi had not followed his father to Suling Mountain to seek scriptures, but had taken refuge with Mr. Ren in his memory, what would he be like now?

After wasting several years, I didn’t expect that I would take a long detour.

"Well, after entering the city, look for a hotel, wash and change clothes and burn incense, and then meet with His Highness King Qi tomorrow!"

Saint Zhou Zhi's voice came out from the scarf and bamboo hat.

"yes!"

Everyone said yes.

After walking off the Lan Yangtze River Bridge, you will reach the wide Qiwang Road.

The buildings, parks and prosperous streetscapes along this road fully reflect the stunning beauty of this city.

Zhou Zhi looked through the veil and observed everything outside.

The buildings that rise from the ground as if they are going to reach the sky, the cars running on the road, the beauty of the design of the man-made parks, people's healthy and full bodies and positive mental outlook, everything is breaking her Cognition.

After passing the Inner Ring Road and stepping onto the Yunshui Bridge, we arrived at the inner city of Qidu.

"Qingyuan Jishou, I wonder which fellow Taoist from Suring Mountain is coming to my Yunlongguan Taoist Temple? I am a poor Taoist who is not welcome from afar."

When everyone walked down the Yunshui Bridge, an old Taoist with outstanding charm stood on one side of the avenue and asked loudly.

"We have already passed the test of life and death, so why should Uncle Qingyuan come to force us again?"

Zhou Zhi jumped off the horse, walked to Taoist Priest Qingyuan, and said.

"Huh, Su Lingshan doesn't follow the rules, messes up my dojo, and destroys my layout. This is a dispute between the orthodoxy. If Su Lingshan insists on entering this city, the feud over the Tao will be forged."

Taoist Priest Qingyuan said coldly.

"Uncle Qingyuan knows that this is a dispute over orthodoxy, so why bother to stop me from entering the city?"

Zhou Zhi asked again.

After saying this, she walked past Taoist Priest Qingyuan and stepped into Wendeng Street in the inner city.

The people behind her followed her and entered the inner city one by one.

Taoist Priest Qingyuan stood on the side of the street, watching the people from Suling Mountain entering the city, his eyes growing colder. He knew that in the face of the battle between the avenues, the people of Suling Mountain who had already passed the life-and-death barrier would not stop because of his words.

With a flick of the dust in his hand, Feng Xu Yufeng returned to the city to watch Yunlong.

"Saint..."

A young Taoist priest of fifteen or sixteen years old clenched his fists as he watched the Qingyuan Taoist flying over their heads.

"These are all costs, but it doesn't matter. Meeting King Qi tomorrow is where our future and destiny lies."

Zhou Zhi said.

When I walked to Shangshui Fang, it was right next to the White Horse Temple and next to the Yunlong Temple, which was only separated by an alley from the hotel.

Xia Yuan, who was holding on to the wall, jumped down and said angrily: "Master, they in Suling Mountain bully people too much. They live next door to us as soon as they enter the city!

They are slapping you in the face, master! "

"Didn't the palace just send an order for you to go to the testing site? Why didn't you go?"

Taoist Priest Qingyuan glared at her and said.

"ah?"

Xia Yuan looked at the sky, the ground, and the old man, and said flatly: "It's already dark!"

"Then you pack up and go early tomorrow morning. Go to the test site to see more. If the king pays attention to it, it may be an opportunity for our Yunlong Temple."

"oh."

Xia Yuan nodded.

As a member of Yunlong Temple, she also has to do her part.

Taoist Priest Qingyuan sat on a lounge chair next to the Taoist well, looking at the sky.

He guessed that the king was happy to see the arrival of Suring Mountain.

Although the king is using Yunlong Temple, he does not fully trust it. This was the case when he supported Yunyin Sect at the beginning. Now the power of Yunmen has vaguely surpassed Yunlong Temple.

The king did not refuse the visit from Suring Mountain now, and the same is true.

"Your Majesty is really good at balancing."

He sighed.

Now, he is already considering whether to tell the Great Immortal Courtyard plan.

Because of the spread of the nursery rhyme, he was not sure if Sulingshan had released it, and he didn't know if Sulingshan would take the lead in explaining it in order to integrate into Qi State.

"Lan Feng!"

In the inn across the alley, Lan Feng heard someone calling him.

The voice was very familiar.

He opened the door, and it turned out to be Hai Dongqing outside.

"Commander Hai, come in quickly."

He quickly stepped aside and let Hai Dongqing come in.

Hai Dongqing shook his head and stood at the door and said: "No, Commander Qin asked me to tell you that you will go to the palace early tomorrow morning. You will preface it correctly!" (End of Chapter)
