This sound spread to every corner of the city, and the refugees who poured into the city were even more happy. They were not afraid of working, but they were afraid of not being able to find work. Now that they heard such good news, they became more and more excited, and some were wailing and strange.
Shouting!
In such a lively scene, the thousands of students scattered in the academy have come to various streets and corners, and like magic, they have taken out the food that had been prepared in the Dharma Ring, amidst the bursts of fragrance.
, start serving!
Today's main demon feast, however, is almost all liquid food. There is no meat, no rice, steamed buns, steamed buns, bran paste, etc.
Pour all kinds of liquid food into wooden basins, stoneware bowls, clay pots, jars, large tanks, etc. that have been prepared long ago.
As the aroma wafted out, many people were surprised to find that they were full just by looking at it. Their stomachs, which were originally hungry and had not eaten anything seriously for many days, were actually not hungry anymore.
"I understand. The officials have made it clear to us in advance. Those big monsters can only be boiled until they are cooked to death. We, the common people, will not get sick if we eat them!"
"It's overcooked. You sound like a country bumpkin. I don't know where you were born! It's called spiritual energy. The stronger and more ferocious the monster is, the more powerful the spiritual energy is in the body! We are not immortal masters. Ordinary people eat a piece of meat.
, your belly will be burst by the spiritual energy immediately, which will be harmful rather than beneficial! Therefore, adults neutralize and dilute the demon meat and herbs so that they will not get sick after eating it. It can be said that they have taken great pains. I have traveled around the world for more than ten years and have been to many places.
, I have never seen any Immortal Cultivation Sect treat the people so kindly, it’s really strange!”
"This brother is still very good. He is very literate and knowledgeable at first glance!"
"Isn't that right? Hancheng is a good place. When you stay in the city, you not only have porridge to drink every day, but you can also eat this kind of banquet for all demons. The adults of Hanchen Academy are very good at subjugating demons. They come up with this kind of fairy banquet."
Sharing this delicious treasure that can only be eaten at home with us, you have such a bodhisattva-like heart!"
"After eating and drinking, I will sign up later. Once I have the strength, it will not be a problem to build the city and build houses. That is the specialty of our brothers!"
"I don't know how to build a house, but I have good cooking skills. It shouldn't be difficult to find a job. If not, I can work as a cook for you brothers!"
"..."
There are also a lot of casual cultivators and rangers in this city. Their views are quite different from the common people, but they don’t say much. They just eat and drink well. This winter is not going to be easy. Although it is safe in such a big city, consumption is
It's not a small thing, and even eating is a problem, let alone training resources.
It is not difficult for casual cultivators and rangers to find a hard job when life is hard. Therefore, under normal circumstances, no matter how bad the environment is, they are not afraid of finding a job. Even if it is not possible, they can join a small sect or a noble clan.
Wealthy families who engage in eccentric activities rarely go to big forces, especially places like Hanchen Academy. These people are very well-informed. Hanchen Academy has offended too many enemies recently, and they are self-aware.
, the benefits here are hard to come by!
Many casual cultivators and rangers have a mentality of fighting against the autumn wind, planning to eat for nothing for seven days and leave immediately.
In Hanchen Academy, each instructor and student was also given a portion of blood food. At the same time, this was the meal, and they all had the all-demon banquet they had been looking forward to for three days.
"At the moment, the effect is pretty good!" Li Xiu sensed the hearts of the people around him and received conversations from some people from time to time. At the same time, he had a rough judgment on the people from all walks of life gathered in Hancheng.
.
"Those representatives of various factions and wealthy noble families are accompanied by several elders, which gives them enough face. Now it depends on who will jump out first and become the leader!" Pang Gu said.
"This is to be expected! Let's see how long they can endure it!"
"Brother Li, would you like to accompany Pang to meet an old friend?" Pang Gu suddenly changed his voice.
"Oh?" Li Xiu looked at Pang Gu with a sense of mystery. He didn't ask for details at the moment and said with a smile, "I'm just feeling bored. Dean Pang has a friend to introduce him to me. I'm very happy!"
Pang Gu said: "Not to mention the cost of this seven-day feast, we temporarily hired chefs from all over the country, and it took three days to barely cook a day's worth of food. If we continue to cook on the same scale as today in the next few days, I'm afraid I won't be able to cook the food on the same scale as today."
Is there any arrest?"
"We can separate the blood food and let various restaurants in the city do it for us!" Li Xiu said a little doubtfully, "This kind of thing is just a problem that can be solved in one sentence, so it shouldn't be a problem for Lu Zisheng.
?”
Pang Gu smiled with a beard and said: "Brother Li, although you are extremely intelligent and very good at judging the situation, you still lack a bit of magnanimity!"
"Oh?" Li Xiu was surprised.
Pang Gu said: "Although Hancheng is now dominated by our court, after all, it lacks the status. Where does the status come from? In the past, the three factions of Shangbei County could crush the Zhenbei Marquis in terms of strength, but we can't.
We still send a lot of manpower every year to accompany Zhenbeihou and listen to his orders! Brother Li understands the principles of dealing with the dark world and seduction, and it must not be difficult to understand the mystery!"
Li Xiu understood immediately and said, "Could it be that the friend you want to take me to meet is the mayor of this city?"
"Exactly! If we can get the support of the mayor of the city government, whether we expand Hancheng in the future or take in more people, it will be a great cause! In your words, it is legal!" Pang Gu said, "I just said
That's what I mean when I say you're a little less tolerant. In any case, these human officials have not completely lost their humanity. This was also the original intention of Emperor Ji Yuan to use people to rule people, monsters to rule monsters, and monsters to rule monsters.
Don't underestimate Mr. Ichiro. Although he has no soldiers and horses, he only has less than thirty diners under his command. He is a ranger and a casual cultivator, but his strength is not bad. Moreover, as long as he gives an order, at least
The eight counties within a hundred miles also have to listen, and in this regard, his prestige is higher than that of the Marquis of Zhenbei who is far away in Tianshui City!"
Li Xiudao: "In other words, no matter how strong Hanchen Academy is, it cannot mobilize the soldiers and horses from Baili and Eight Counties, although those soldiers and horses are not worth mentioning!"
"exactly!"
"In other words, if the surrounding sects and noble clans want to continue to obtain resources such as medicinal materials, food, and talents from the people, as long as the mayor denies their legality and asks us to get it back, even if he kills his entire family, there is a reason.
It’s useless even if we go to Tianduyuan!”
"That's right! That's the truth. This is the difference between robbers and officers and soldiers!" Pang Gu replied.
Seeing that Li Xiu understood, he immediately left the academy together with Li Xiu.
Li Xiu was deep in thought along the way. Pang Gu mentioned that this seven-day feast was difficult, and then brought the topic to the Municipal Lang's Mansion. It seemed that it was not that simple. This time he was invited to accompany him, so he had to show his strength.
In addition to gaining strength, you must also give the other party enough face. To put it bluntly, it means giving up benefits to the Municipal Government, but you must not let the other party look down on you.
It seems that they are competing for a feast, but in fact they are competing for future interests.
The city manager's office will arrive in an instant.
"Baili Shilang, whose name is only one character, Shui Cao Wang Miao, and the nine brothers of Chu Citang, are all heroes, capable of conquering and fighting. At the end of the previous dynasty, Baili Fu and Shui Cao Wang Miao were implicated in major cases and were deeply imprisoned.
Fortunately, with the help of the two saints, he traveled north and settled in Chu Citang. After the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, the former prince Tang Simao tried his best to protect Baili Fu.
The nine brothers of Chu Citang are better than a million navy troops!" Pang Gu introduced a few words hastily.
"Then Tang Simao is Tang Lianxian's grandfather, right? He should be Bu Lehou's first prince, I have also heard about it." Li Xiudao.
Pang Gu said: "At that time, Emperor Ji Yuan defeated the two saints, ascended the Dabao, moved the capital to Shangjing, and was unhappy with the founding of the country. Then he went on the Northern Expedition! Tang Simao, Ma Xingkong and others opened and closed the city to present the city, and the seller cut off his head. In terms of credit, Tang Simao was
a!"
"No wonder Ma Tiancheng later became the county guard and was granted the title of Marquis of Zhenbei. However, he did not do much, so he faked his death to avoid disaster. Both generations of the Tang family met a miserable end, except for Tang Lianxian, who is still jumping around!"
Li Xiudao.
Pang Gu said: "I know what you want to say. Since Baili Fu has been favored by Tang Simao, you have quite a feud with Tang Lianxian. You are worried that it will not go well when you come here. But you are overthinking, Baili Fu
In order to repay his kindness, he did fend off several disasters for Tang Simao's descendants, but ended up with a tragic end. Shui Cao Wang Miao was killed, and the nine brothers of Chu Citang lost three people. They had already turned against the Tang family. Now Baili Fu is more like a
A reclusive master who has never been promoted to a court official in the past ten years. He lives in seclusion with the six brothers from Chu Citang. He is quite accomplished in reciting poems and painting. My Five Thunder Mountain Spell is made from a picture of a hundred flowers blooming and a hundred miles.
You can get it in exchange for the talisman!"
"Oh?" Li Xiu nodded, feeling that it made sense.
As he was talking, a man suddenly walked out of the gate of the Municipal Lang's Mansion. He was a well-mannered man in his early thirties, wearing a long gown and a square scarf. He had an extraordinary demeanor. He saluted Li Xiu and Dean Pang from afar and said, "It's a shame that you are here as a distinguished guest."
Welcome from afar! My brother made a mistake because his servants smashed a pot of taro orchid. I hope Dean Pang will forgive me and make this knight Li laugh!"
Pang Gu said: "Baili Xiandi is really a gentleman among flowers. Pang is the one who disturbs his elegance because of his worldly affairs!"
Li Xiu also clasped his fists and said he didn't dare!
"Dean Pang is indeed my brother's best friend. My brother is waiting in the second hall. Please come in!" The man invited with a smile.
At that moment, Pang Gu and Li Xiu followed this man into the Shilang Mansion.
Li Xiu's face had a strange look.
This man has no aura in his whole body, just like ordinary people, but he also has an unfathomable feeling. Moreover, this is the mayor's mansion. Not only does this man have no official luck, but the whole mansion is also the same.
When I got here, I happened to see the main hall. There was a plaque with four big characters "Gong Gong Neat" and a bright mirror hanging high. Li Xiu glanced inside and could see that there were a lot of things that should be found in a court hall, and they were all dry.
It's clean, and it looks like it hasn't been opened in ten years. However, there is also a strange feeling.
That is, not only the people in front of him, but also this court is incompatible with the word "Shilang's Mansion". Instead, Li Xiu seemed to have arrived at the ruins of a mansion from an old dynasty. Everything he saw had become the past.
