Infinite Script Killing

"Buzz buzz~~"

The sun was shining brightly, and the cicadas on the trees were humming.

In the small courtyard, Guo Yi bare his upper body, revealing his strong muscles, and waved his fist tirelessly under the scorching sun.

Before the big beads of sweat fell on the ground, they were evaporated by the heat on Guo Yi's body, gradually forming a mist visible to the naked eye around Guo Yi.

Other followers in the yard were hiding under the shade of the trees, sitting together drinking tea, looking enviously at the heat surging around Guo Yi, but they were envious, but not yearning for it at all.

How difficult is it to be a Grand Master? For them, it is as difficult as the road of Shu, as difficult as climbing to the sky.

Practice three-nine in winter, and practice three-in-one in summer.

Without the secret skills of internal training, it is simply unimaginable to simply want to become a grand master through martial arts training.

Even if he usually jokes, everyone knows how slim Guo Yi's hope of becoming a grand master is.

However, in recent times, everyone has clearly felt the qualitative transformation of Guo Yi.

"Still practicing!"

Zhou Niang walked into the yard carrying a wooden bucket, which contained a change of clothes for them.

"Sanniang is here!!"

As soon as everyone saw Sanniang, they immediately stood up with smiles.

Although they are a group of rough old men who stink and sweat every day, in the past two weeks, everyone has gradually become accustomed to Zhou Niang's existence.

Although Sanniang looks ordinary, she is generous and clean. She arranges a series of trivial matters such as cooking, washing, cleaning, making tea and water every day in an orderly manner.

It was impossible to find a single fault, and even the people in the post house couldn't help but praise Sanniang.

"These are the clothes I washed yesterday. I brought them to you. The tea has been boiled in the kitchen. You can drink it yourself when you are thirsty later."

Sanniang said, taking out the clean clothes from the bucket.

The burlap clothes were washed cleanly, and after being dried by the sun, they still exuded a soapy scent when held in the hand.

The clothes this woman washes are more comfortable than those clumsy men like them.

After everyone thanked him for a while, Sanniang glanced at the room: "Where is the prince? Are you still sleeping?"

"Well, I didn't come back for a long time last night, so I'm probably still resting."

"Hey, building the river channel is not something that can be done in a day or two. The prince is so laborious and troublesome that he is not afraid of hurting his body. You don't follow my advice."

Sanniang couldn't help but feel worried.

"Hey, how can we persuade someone like the Crown Prince?"

When all the followers mentioned the prince, their eyes were filled with stars. They had never known the prince's methods before, but they had gained a lot of experience during this time.

Regardless of what the Yuyang Mansion wanted, they easily collected one hundred thousand taels of silver.

"It is said that gods can turn stone into gold. I think the prince's methods are not much different from those of gods."

one of the attendants boasted.

Not only did everyone not think it was too much, but they nodded their heads.

It turns out that since the end of the City God's Temple, Xu Tong began to call on wealthy businessmen in the city to donate money to build rivers.

After his call, good guys, all those wealthy businessmen who were usually as tough as a cock seemed to be on stimulants, donating money and materials.

Of course, the reason why they were so enthusiastic was definitely not because of Xu Tong's identity as the river inspector.

It was because Xu Tong promised them that anyone who participated in this fund-raising event would set up a merit monument for them in the main hall of the City God's Temple.

It will have their names written on it.

Now those wealthy businessmen were unwilling. The City God appeared again and again and seemed to have become the patron saint of Yuyang.

It is a great honor to be able to erect a merit monument in the temple of the City God.

Moreover, Mr. Li can borrow the hand of the City God to lower the fire from heaven and kill the river monster. This shows that Mr. Li's weight in front of the City God is stronger than that of the governor.

What do these wealthy country squires lack? ?

What is missing is this honor and this face.

For this reason, Xu Tong also thoughtfully helped them rank the third, sixth, and ninth grades on the merit monuments.

And the bidding will be based on ranking, and a person's name will be engraved on the top and most conspicuous place.

Xu Tong gave this position a name, called the position of immeasurable merit. The starting price is ten thousand taels.

The second level is called the Immortal Fruit Level of Fortune, Luxu, and Longevity. There are three positions, starting at 5,000 taels.

The third level, called the koi level with continuous wealth, has five positions and a starting price of 2,000 taels each.

There are a total of twenty other random merit positions, and three hundred taels are taken together.

At first, Guo Yi and others thought that the prince was out of his mind and that only a fool would buy it at such an expensive price.

Guo Yi also secretly pulled Xu Tong and asked him to lower the price, especially the one with immeasurable merit, which cost ten thousand taels of silver.

Your own prince can't even get so much money out of selling iron. Do you expect those wealthy businessmen and gentry to be willing to spend so much money to buy a piece of crap? ?

"Your Majesty, if you ask me, five thousand taels would be enough for this position." Guo Yi said tentatively. In fact, Guo Yi felt in his heart that he would despise fifty taels.

As a result, Xu Tong rolled his eyes at him: "You know a hammer, you have to study the psychology of customers.

People who are willing to spend five thousand taels to buy a place don’t care at all about paying another five thousand taels.

Did they buy the location?

What they buy is fame, appearance, status, and merit.

Do you think this location is expensive at 10,000 taels? Let me tell you, 10,000 taels is the starting price. If they want to win this position, it will take at least... 30,000 taels. "

What Xu Tong said was the same as the Book of Heaven. Even if Guo Yi and others' brains were almost turned to pulp, they couldn't figure it out. How could there be such a truth in the world? Isn't this a fool?

As a result, when I arrived at the donation site, I discovered that the fool turned out to be me.

The first donation price of 10,000 taels was raised to a sky-high price of 32,000 taels of silver in public.

The wealthy businessman who won this position was a famous local rice merchant in Yuyang.

Guo Yi and others still can't figure out why they laughed so happily on the spot after spending 32,000 taels of silver to buy a lonely fat man. ?

Could this be the legendary pure innocent?

The second class was named Fu Lu Shou by Xu Tong, and the price was about 10,000 taels each.

Although it is not as dazzling as the first class, the three words "Fu Lu Shou" still cannot stop the enthusiasm of these wealthy businessmen.

The same is true for the third rank and the wealth koi position, with 8,000 taels per position.

As for the last twenty or so random merit positions, the highest is one thousand two hundred taels and the lowest is six hundred taels.

In this way, the monument was erected, and one hundred thousand taels of silver were credited.

It is said that when Jiang Zhen, the governor of the first state, heard the news, he thought, shouldn't he, the governor of the state, come up with a name?

As a result, when I heard the quotation, I was stunned on the spot.

With the little money they had embezzled from their officials, it would be easier to get a stone tablet.

This has simply refreshed the outlook of many officials. It takes three years to clear the prefecture, and one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver. No, it doesn't even take three years for the money to go into their pockets.

Of course, the money goes as quickly as it comes.

Xu Tong established a ledger, and kept all the money raised this time intact in it. He announced the expenses every once in a while and posted them on the street for people to watch.

The expenses for building rivers, providing relief to the people, and repairing the City God's Temple were all clearly recorded.

Jiang Zhen and other officials could not help but feel relieved.

The twelve gold bars last time were indeed a test by Jiang Zhen, but Xu Tong actually said in public that those were the donations he had allocated.

At this time, Jiang Zhen and other officials began to wonder what the prince was thinking.

I thought that this time I was going to spend money to eliminate the disaster. I thought I was unlucky and spit out all the money I had embezzled. When building the river channel, Xu Tong turned stone into gold with a backhand move, which made everyone look stupid.

While they were happy that they didn't have to pay any money, they couldn't help but admire the prince's methods so much that some officials even swore secretly in their hearts.

Don't challenge this prince, he is very young and his methods are terrible.

In fact, Xu Tong knew very well from the beginning that the River Inspector made his name sound majestic, but in fact he was just a fifth-rank official.

It is unclear how the three previous river inspectors died?

Not only because the money to build the river had been completely stolen by Yuyang's officials, but also because of the river demon's rebellion and the river gods who fished the common people, it would be damning if those river inspectors were able to build the river.

If the river channel could not be built, it was natural to have to file a memorial. However, the memorial was not even sent out, so he was silenced in a muddle.

Of course Xu Tong was not afraid that officials like Yuyang would dare to attack him, but he also did not want to be used as a weapon by those invisible black hands.

So I simply found another way and created such a drama that turned stone into gold.

At this moment, a group of followers were chattering endlessly about how the prince turned stone into gold.

"Hey! Your Majesty, you're awake!"

Everyone was talking enthusiastically when they suddenly saw Xu Tong standing behind them. They were startled and hurriedly bent down to say hello.

"Hey hey hey, it's okay, keep talking, I'm listening very enthusiastically."

Xu Tong squinted his eyes and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, do you want to go to the river today?"

Sanniang stepped forward and asked.

"I won't go. Guo Yi will take them to the river later to check whether the wages are paid in time and whether the food is withheld."

In fact, I know nothing about digging rivers. In the past few days, I have completed the work of raising money, recruiting workers, and tools. The remaining tasks of building rivers are to be directed by a few veteran river workers recruited. It is a professional matter. , it’s better to leave it to professionals.

Next, you only have to go through the acceptance process to complete your identity task.

So there is no need to run to the river every day.

Guo Yi walked up after hearing this. Before anyone got close, everyone could feel the heat wave on his body.

"Brother Guo, wipe your sweat."

Sanniang took out a towel soaked in water and handed it to Guo Yi.

Guo Yi responded honestly, quickly took the towel and wiped himself before putting on the clean clothes.

"Your Majesty, let's go now. It's a hot day. Please sleep a little longer. I'm watching what happens on the river. If anyone dares to cheat, I'll have plenty of ways to teach him a lesson."

After Guo Yi finished speaking, he motioned for everyone to follow him to the river.

"Brother Guo, it's already noon, why don't we go after lunch!"

Sanniang hurriedly called him, but Guo Yi waved his hand: "That's good, let's go eat on the river and try the food on the river."

Unexpectedly, Guo Yi waved his hand and led the people out in a hurry.

"Oh, Your Majesty, Brother Guo is good at everything, but he does things in a hurry."

Sanniang turned around and complained slightly.

Xu Tong squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "That's just him."

After saying that, he stretched and yawned: "No, no, I'm going to take a nap again. Don't call me for lunch. I'll eat it when I wake up."

"Okay, then I'll leave it for you to warm in the kitchen pot."

"Anything works!"

Xu Tong said, walked back to the room, closed the door and window, took out a stick of yellow incense and lit it.

Then as soon as he lay down on the bed, his soul followed the green smoke of Huang Xiang and walked step by step into the hall behind him. He didn't have time before, but now he finally got some free time. He planned to give it a try and see the bastard and the two fat men. Sloutoutuo, can you make something good for yourself...
