Yuansan has really undergone earth-shaking changes. Starting from the Shushang Pass of the mountain pass, the road up the mountain has been repaired. Now two ox carts will not hit each other. On both sides of the road, there will be a tea shed every other section.
Or a small wine shop selling large bowls of tea and the cheapest soju. These two items are obviously not for wealthy merchants, but only for busy workers.
Ox carts and people carts were going up and down the road, and a large number of livestock came out of the mountains. Everyone had a smile on their face. The tea vendor was happy that his big bowl of tea had more customers than the tea stall next to him.
The wine seller was happy that no one had noticed the water he had mixed with the wine. The workman and the porter were happy that they could earn a little more money on this trip and buy some delicious food for their children. The merchants were happy that they finally grabbed the long-awaited wine.
of goods.
Along the way, many people who knew Sun Er Mazi bowed to Sun Er Mazi devoutly. Sun Er Mazi accepted it as a matter of course, with a smile on his face.
"It seems that you have done well this year. Everyone respects you, which is good!" Su Ren patted Sun Ermazi's generous shoulder.
Sun Ermazi chuckled: "What a bunch of damn snobs, if I wasn't the leader of Yuanshan, they wouldn't do this to me! They all want to get their goods from Yuanshan, so they are groveling, and none of the merchants are good.
!”
As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I immediately realized that I had said the wrong thing, and quickly explained: "It's wrong, at least there is a good one!"
Su Ren smiled bitterly: "I am no longer a merchant, I am a captain. If you dare to say nonsense again, do you believe that I will lead my troops to destroy your Yuanshan?"
"Hahaha..., you don't need to lead troops, you alone are enough."
At the foot of Zhuiyun Mountain, Zhou Zhong gathered a group of people and brought out all the musical instruments that could be found on Yuanshan Mountain. Without any music scores, they just banged and made noises that scared all the small animals within a dozen miles away.
Trembling in the nest.
The old fox had gained some weight and looked no longer as brave as before. He smoothed his beard and beard. With the support of his two daughters, he stood next to Zhou Zhong: "Now Yuanshan is Yuanshan County, and you are also the county magistrate. You are doing this in such a big way."
Isn't it a bit disrespectful to welcome a captain?"
Zhou Chong glanced at the old fox: "Then why don't you come?"
"I'm here to pick up my daughter, and it has nothing to do with Captain Su!"
"Yeah?"
In a blink of an eye, Su Ren was approaching. Zhou Zhong dropped the old fox and took two steps forward. He bowed and swept the floor in front of Su Ren, who was still sitting on the horse. Su Ren quickly dismounted and helped Zhou Zhong up. The old fox was really as he said, no
He came to say hello to Su Ren and stood there waiting for his daughter to come over. He looked at the child in Twelfth Mother's arms with a smile on his face and a happy smile on his face.
There were people standing all over the mountain and down the mountain, and everyone was looking at Su Ren. Zhuiyun Mountain has expanded a lot, and the houses have been built to the foot of the mountain. The flat mountain roads go up in circles, and it looks very layered at a glance.
"Oh, I haven't been here for a year, and Zhuiyun Mountain has changed so much that I don't even recognize it anymore!" Su Ren sighed, waving to those in the distance.
"It's Mr. Su, Mr. Su is here!" The crowd shouted loudly, and Su Ren's image in the hearts of Yuansan people instantly grew taller.
Dong Qian looked at the men, women, and children all over the mountain, and looked back at Su Ren in disbelief. He couldn't figure it out. This guy had no martial arts skills, and had nothing to show off except his ability to talk. Why did the Yuanshan bandits support him so much? This was the first time.
, Dong Qian had an admiration for Su Ren.
The original Zhuiyunshan Dazhai on the top of the mountain was renovated and turned into the county government office of Yuanshan County. Zhou Zhong tidied it up very well and separated the front and back halls. The front is his office and the back is his home.
Sitting in the lobby of Yuanshan County, Su Ren nodded: "It is really gratifying for Mr. Zhou to be appointed as the magistrate of Yuanshan County this time. There are tens of thousands of people in Yuanshan, and they will all be official citizens from now on."
Got it!"
Zhou Zhong held up his hand and said, "This is also a gift from Mr. De. We, the people of Yuanshan, will never forget Mr. De's great kindness for generations to come!"
The old fox didn't speak from beginning to end, but just followed them. Su Ren glanced at him and smiled slightly: "Master Shizhai seems unhappy!"
"I don't dare!"
He said he didn't dare, but his eyes and face had already betrayed him. There was a reason why the old fox was angry. He also made great efforts in the construction of Yuanshan. I think that when I first went to Qiang land, he was an old fox who was in trouble. Now.
Now Yuanshan has become Yuanshan County, Zhou Chong and Sun Ermazi have both been granted official positions, but the old fox has not left anything behind. He does not ask for a county magistrate, just a county magistrate! But no one remembers him.
Twelve Niang stretched out her hand and pulled the corner of the old fox's clothes. The old fox glared at Twelve Niang: "Why, you won't let me speak anymore?"
Su Ren smiled and said: "Master Shizhai will live a long life this year?"
"Not high, fifty-two!" Of course the old fox knew that Su Ren had a purpose in asking: "Isn't it just that I am a little older? Mr. Su, do you remember that I accompanied him to the Qiang land two years ago?"
Based on the average lifespan of thirty years in the Han Dynasty, Old Fox can be said to have an absolute longevity. It is also Old Fox's ability to live such a long life as a bandit.
Su Rendao: "Then why don't you remember that the master of Shizhai is always strong and strong, no worse than those young people. What I want to say is that the master of Shizhai is about to live in the same house for four generations now. This is definitely a great joy for us big men. Now
This time I also brought a congratulatory gift from the prefect. With the longevity of the master of Shizhai, the prefect is going to report it to the imperial court, and the imperial court will naturally grant him a title!"
Upon hearing this, the old fox's eyes lit up: "Seriously?"
Sun Ermazi yelled: "When has Mr. Su ever spoken without counting? You old man, just wait and enjoy the blessings!"
Banniang glared at Sun Ermazi fiercely, and Sun Ermazi quickly changed her words: "Haha, my father-in-law is just waiting to enjoy the blessings."
The old fox let out a sigh of relief: "Oh, I didn't expect that my Shi family would also be ennobled one day."
Zhou Zhong smiled bitterly and stepped forward to salute the old fox and congratulate him. A civil strife in Yuanshan was thus suppressed.
Since Su Ren came, many people gathered outside the county government office every day. Those who knew Su Ren before were waiting outside the door to see Su Ren. Some were grateful and some were flattering. Su Ren was able to call them out one by one.
Dong Qian admired this very much. Sometimes Dong Qian wondered if Su Ren had been a bandit before, otherwise how could he be so comfortable among the bandits.
Finally staying up until night, Dong Qian and Su Ren were sitting in the yard. The night in Yuanshan is the most beautiful. There are occasional calls of night birds in the silence. The whole mountain is shrouded in stars and lights. It's beautiful to see.
It's particularly spectacular when going up.
In a house next door, a woman was lecturing her children, speaking very harshly, and using Su Ren as an example for her children. The two listened for a long time, and Dong Qian smiled and said: "It seems that you are very prestigious in Yuanshan! Can you tell me something about you?
How did you conquer the Yuanshan bandits single-handedly in the first place?"
"That's a long story! If you want to hear it, I'll tell you!" Su Ren took a sip of tea and slapped the table hard: "It is said that there were 108 cottages in Yuanshan back then.
, the first one is Guantouya, the owner of Dazhai calls Baoyi Mu Tianming..."
Dong Qian noticed something was wrong as she listened, but was attracted by the story Su Ren told. She held her chin with both hands and listened with gusto. When they just talked about the battle between the flower monk Feng Tuzi and the little white dragon Zheng Tianshou, Su Ren took another photo.
Table: "If you want to say who is more powerful, the flower monk or the little white dragon, let's hear the explanation next time!"
After being stunned for a second, Dong Qian turned around and said, "Is it over?"
"It's not over! I just don't want to talk anymore!"
"I don't want to hear it anymore!"
"Then you still ask?"
"It's nonsense when you first hear it. If these Yuanshan bandits are so brave, how can you conquer them?"
"You don't understand this, who am I? I am nicknamed the Dragon Crossing the River, and wherever I go I am a stomping, trembling figure!"
"Blow it!" Dong Qian curled her lips: "To put it nicely, it is not a good thing for tens of thousands of bandits to gather together. Have you not thought of anything else?"
"What's the meaning?"
"Asking even though you know it!"
Su Ren smiled: "Not really. Tens of thousands of bandits sounds like a lot. In fact, the number of soldiers who can fight is only about ten thousand. If you really have any plan, you are seeking death. Again, no matter how good Yuanshan is, it can't be compared to
Chengdu, let alone Chang'an, is not the end of the Qin Dynasty, and no one is willing to rebel. If you are willing to be a widow, I can give it a try."
"What does it have to do with me?" Dong Qian blushed and lowered her head and stopped talking.
The two chatted until midnight, and then reluctantly separated. Dong Qian walked to the door and turned back: "If you and I get old in the future, will we live here or in the capital?"
"Of course it's the capital. The capital is so prosperous, rich, and beautiful. It's a blessed land for men. Only a ghost would be willing to come to this place where no one can shit!"
"Humph! I have nothing to say to you!"
The next day was the day when Yuanshan County was officially established. Those noise makers once again gathered at the gate of the county government with their broken gongs and drums. Zhou Zhong was dressed as an official, with dark robes, a three-mountain crown on his head, and his hands
The lower abdomen was solemn and imposing. Sun Ermazi was wearing armor and looked majestic. He completely outshone the county magistrate and Zhang Dequan standing on both sides. After the drum beat, Su Ren read out the imperial decree, and Zhou Zhong led a group of newly appointed officials to kowtow.
After receiving the imperial edict, Yuanshan County was established.
In the exchange of congratulations and congratulations, the original leader of a certain village became a certain Cao Rong, and he became polite every time he spoke. Zhou Chong's face turned red as he was being called by one county person after another. Years ago, he had dreamed of having something like this.
position, and later he was forced to become a thief. He thought that this day would never happen again, but suddenly he really became a county magistrate. Zhou Chong drank a lot of wine.
Holding Su Ren's hand, Zhou Zhong's drunken eyes were blurred: "Mr. Su, I, Zhou Zhong, have never met any good people in my life. You are the only one who saved me from fire and water. On behalf of the whole family, Zhou Zhong thanks you!"
Zhou Zhong bowed and swept the floor, with tears on his face. Su Ren quickly helped him up: "Your Majesty, Zhou County, is too humble. They are all Han people..."
"No, no, no." Zhou Zhong waved his hand: "It's different. Sir is different from other big Han people. I leave my words here. No matter what happens to you in the future, as long as you say a word, I, Zhou Zhong, and this Yuanshan will obey you!"
