The meritorious ministers invited to Chentian's banquet can be roughly divided into four groups: scholars, farmers, industry and merchants, among which the scholar class is the largest.
At the same time, the concept of scholars is also the broadest, and can be simply summarized as intellectuals. They rely on the platform of Jixia Academy to become officials at the top, and to work part-time at the bottom.
In short.
If the prosperity and stability of Yongtai City depends entirely on the workers and peasants, then the development of great ambitions depends on these scholars.
Of course, under Chen Tian's intentional guidance, scholars no longer had the pedantic stereotype they had among the world. Everything must be based on reality and seek the welfare of the people.
In particular, Lianzi Xin had the power to recruit officials in Yongtai City. With his nature, he paid more attention to applying what he learned.
Therefore, the scholars from all over the world who came from all over the world felt the down-to-earth style of Yongtai City and knew that a new force was about to emerge in Cangxi.
However, facing the neat and solemn ceremony of the nobles, Chen Tian just nodded casually in response, without paying much attention, and instead walked towards the Gongcheng Group on the left side.
"Master Luo, are you okay?"
Luo Di was originally an ordinary salt farmer at the foot of Luwu Mountain, but when he was clearing out mandrills in the cave, he accidentally discovered ground fire and oil, and thus became the salt production supervisor.
At the beginning, various industries in Yongtai City had just started to spread their wings. Not only did they have no output, but they also consumed Chentian's investment. Only Luo Di's salt industry was the first to make money day by day.
Even though the mining industry in Qianji Pavilion and Fenjin Villa is now on the right track, making huge profits in gold and silver, the salt industry still accounts for one-fifth of Yongtai City's tax revenue.
"Replying to the Lord, I am living a good life in Weizhi. Everything I eat tastes delicious." Rody was flattered and said excitedly, "Thank you very much for your concern."
Chen Tian patted him on the shoulder, indicating that there was no need to be nervous: "Isn't Si Yanzao always active near Yongtai City? Why did Mr. Luo come to the Makino front line?"
"I came here under the entrustment of the leader Cheng of Qianji Pavilion. It was said that I found traces of brine. After investigation, it turned out that another salt mine was dug out at the bottom of Xianyue Valley."
The Changhe River and Zishui converge in Muye, forming a swamp, and it is indeed easy to form saline-alkali land over time.
Then there must be rock salt nearby. No wonder there were 70,000 farmers gathered around the Makino tidal flat.
"Lord Luo has made a meritorious service again." Chen Tian smiled, waved his hand to summon Yang Niang, lifted the silk cloth on the tray in her hand, and revealed a jeweled medal.
He hung the medal on Roddy's chest and said solemnly: "You have made great contributions to Yongtai City, so you are given a public title to show your merits."
Hearing this, everyone was very excited.
You must know that Yongtai City has a total of twenty levels of nobility, among which Gongcheng is the eighth level, the highest level among civil nobility. This honor is not unfair.
Rody burst into tears of gratitude and hurriedly knelt down: "Weizhi is too stupid and can't speak. From now on, the god will ask me to go east and never to the west!"
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]
"Okay, okay." Chen Tian smiled lightly, "You are not a mule or horse, what are you doing going east to west?"
"You have a lot of abilities. You should train more disciples in Gongcheng in the future. As the area under Yongtai City's jurisdiction grows larger and larger, so does the scale of the salt industry. You have to take the lead."
"Weizhi obeys your orders!" Rody nodded heavily.
The music director played the chapter, and the hall was enveloped in harmony. In addition to Luo Di, Chen Tian also awarded medals to outstanding backbones from all walks of life.
From the migrant workers who pounded the city to build the city, to Liu Wenhui who presented the magical arrows, he did not bother and personally awarded honors to each of them.
Of course, it is not only honor, but also various treasures. According to the usual practice, it should be exchanged for Ancheng money, but the meaning given by Chen Tian personally is extraordinary. Everyone plans to leave it as a family legacy to comfort their ancestors.
In fact, it would have been better for Tong Ruoran to come forward to reward the female family members, but she is now in charge of the overall situation in Yongtai City, so she has to let Yang Niang come forward.
These female relatives never thought that women would also have the opportunity to receive awards. They had been in a daze ever since they boarded the treasure ship.
But when they saw Chen Tian carrying a tray and following Yang Niang, handing out rewards one by one, they knew that ordinary laundry and cooking were still a big deal.
Compared to the ecstasy of the men, these women were obviously much more sentimental. They quietly wiped away tears after receiving the medals. Apparently, they were deeply moved by Chen Tian's award that did not distinguish between men and women and only focused on merit.
Seeing this, a scholar sitting on the right seat sighed secretly.
Li Yunzi sincerely doesn’t deceive me. Yongtai City is indeed an anomaly that has never been seen in the Cangxi world. Even if it has experienced prosperity and decline for thousands of years, the historical records should still be full of color.
"Mr. Nie Qing."
"What's wrong?" Nie Qing picked up the wine glass and drank by himself, then looked at his companion Zhang Yi, "You want to ask Chen Tian how he is as a person?"
"Exactly, sir, the art of fortune-seeing has always been very clear. Is Chentian worthy of my surrender?" Zhang Yi and Nie Qing also came from a poor family, but he did not have the background of Nie Qing's apprenticeship in the political strategist's family, and his ability was far inferior.
Nie Qing.
Therefore, Cangxi from the Central Region rushed to Yongtai City to seek a way out. He always respected Nie Qing's advice and followed his advice.
Later, in the autumn examination of Jixia Academy, the two of them won the first place and the second place respectively, and were later sent to Makino Wubao to serve as the county magistrate and chief secretary, taking care of internal affairs.
If the more than 200,000 soldiers and civilians had not been managed in an orderly manner, Nie Qing and Zhang Yi would not have been invited to board the treasure ship and receive awards.
"Chen Tian's head is condensed with destiny, as thick as morning mist, vast and boundless. It is simply more nourishing to the godhead than spiritual energy." Nie Qing sipped his wine glass deeply and said firmly, "There is probably no other person in the world who has such a prosperous appearance.
.”
Zhang Yi was shocked: "Godhead? Mr. Nie..."
"No kidding." Nie Qing continued, "Brother Zhang must have heard of the hundreds of grass and flower fairies in the Shanglinyuan Governor's Hall, right? They are regarded as the only ones in the city's solitary temple and enjoy the power of incense and telepathy. Many of them are intentionally guided by Chen Tian.
.”
"...This? Conferred Zen gods?" Zhang Yi murmured. "Exactly, aren't the two evil snakes in Qu Si prison also revered as dragon kings? In the cave, there are stone statues of Suanni instead of blue water unicorns to guard the earth's energy."
Nie Qing spoke eloquently and said seriously, "All of this shows that Chentian already has
The ability to consecrate Zen gods.”
"Then it is reasonable for him to have cultivated the godhead himself. There is no need to question it."
However, Zhang Yi is still unbelievable. You must know that the Godhead is a harbinger of entering the true state and realizing immortality. How many people have cultivated the Godhead through the ages?
As a result, the rare godhead is vividly displayed in front of our eyes, and he is even drinking and talking to ordinary people?
Zhang Yi felt that her outlook on life was greatly affected. She pondered for a long time and suddenly said: "What is the luck above Chen Tian's head? Can we also practice together?"
"It's difficult, but it's not impossible." Nie Qing said slowly, "The luck of the people entering Taoism is far more pure than the essence of heaven and earth, and it is also more nourishing to the soul."
"What should we do?" "Be worried about the world's worries first, and be happy after the world's happiness."
