After experiencing the "Guiyuan Gong" incident, Zhang Baoer was originally a little worried about Xiao Ha, but after observing and finding that Xiao Ha seemed to be fine, he gave up the idea of taking him away.
"Forget it... maybe it's because Xiao Ha is an 'auspicious beast', so this kind of thing has no effect on it... I hope..."
After muttering these words, he flicked Tang Tiantian awake and left the basement.
Returning to the garden again, Tang Tiantian was so angry that she ate all the meat that was almost cooked while the two of them were away...
Zhang Baoer smiled bitterly and had no choice but to sit next to the barbecue grill and "cook" again. Of course, as a foodie, he naturally did not forget to kick the unicorn horse.
Time passed slowly, and it was already dusk in the blink of an eye. Just when Tang Tiantian, who was full and hungry, suggested to continue the barbecue dinner, Tian Xiao and Ru Hu led thirty-eight people into the city lord's mansion and came to the garden.
As he expected, none of the thirty-eight people were the leaders of the five major forces, but a few stewards and shopkeepers were from them, and some were from the original major forces.
Looking at the thirty-eight people who were trembling slightly, some old and some strong, Zhang Baoer smiled and pointed at the bench that Hong Qi and others brought over and said to them:
"Don't be nervous, sit down and eat barbecue!"
Those people hesitated a little, but only for a moment, because they did not dare to disobey the meaning of the 'harp demon' in front of them.
After sitting down, they all lowered their heads. Although they were nervous, they did not dare to raise their heads and look at each other. Naturally, they did not touch the tea, melons and fruits on the small table in front of them.
Zhang Baoer ignored them and was busy grilling meat. Tian Xiao and Ruhu also ignored them. They sat on the floor next to Zhang Baoer, reached out and took the barbecue skewers handed over by Zhang Baoer and started to eat.
Zhang Baoer was a little dumbfounded. These two were rough people, so naturally they didn't pay much attention to things. He had no choice but to interrupt:
“Give it to the guests first!”
"Uh...hehe!"
Tian Xiao and Ru Hu quickly stood up with silly smiles, and distributed the meat skewers in their hands to those people, no more, no less, exactly thirty-eight skewers - this was what he had already prepared.
Seeing that those people were accepting it but not speaking, Zhang Baoer took a towel and wiped the sweat on his head and said harmoniously:
"Eat first and then talk about things... By the way, this is lion meat, everyone should eat slowly!"
After saying that, he ignored them again, turned around and told Hong Qi to get some more charcoal and meat, while he kicked the unicorn that occupied the shade under the willow tree, then put down the deck chair there and went to his own business.
He lay down and drank the herbal tea brought by Mingyu.
Seeing that Zhang Baoer was not facing him and was so content, the thirty-eight people couldn't help but look at each other. Of course, they couldn't help but swallow quietly during this period, because the meat skewers in their hands were not only
They have never eaten high-grade lion meat, and it smells delicious.
Suddenly, after one person glanced at Tang Tiantian, who was already greasy from eating, he gritted his teeth and bit into a small piece of meat. Then his eyes, which were a bit cloudy due to his age, shone brightly, and he looked wide.
took a bite...
Seeing that he seemed to be 'all right', everyone no longer hesitated and started eating one after another.
In their eyes, filled with joy over the barbecue, there was also a look of astonishment, because they saw that Tian Xiao and others had no distinction between superiority and inferiority. A group of people crowded together and made a noise, grilling meat, serving meat or eating meat...
They all couldn't help but said in their hearts:
"The piano demon and his people...are all weirdos."
An hour later, the setting sun took away the last ray of afterglow, and Zhang Baoer also invited those whose faces were glowing from the healing to the hall.
Those people had become less reserved. After everyone sat down, Zhang Baoer, who was in a high position, said with a smile:
"I'm glad to meet you all. You must have a lot of questions, right? If you want to ask anything, just ask."
"No……"
"Don't dare..."
Zhang Baoer had a headache, but these people actually said they had no problem!
When they didn't say anything, he thought for a while, organized his words, and then slowly spoke out his thoughts and opinions.
In the brightly lit hall, time passed slowly with Zhang Baoer's narration, and those people became more surprised and happy the more they listened, because Zhang Baoer's ideas were too alternative...
Whether it was shocking or whimsical, whether they could understand it or not... Later, Zhang Baoer changed his mind. It was no longer a "solicit" tone of discussion, but an order!
He also knows that what he said may not all be suitable for this world, but he doesn't care. As long as he controls the highest power, what's the harm in using this chaotic city as an experiment?
Feng Qing and Mingyu took notes on one side, writing down every word Zhang Baoer said. In Zhang Baoer's words, this is called a 'memo', 'a good memory is not as good as a bad pen', 'the more you accumulate, the more
It is wealth. Looking back in the future, it can help you understand your shortcomings and areas of improvement'...
This talk lasted more than three hours. Zhang Baoer was tired and felt that he had almost finished what he said, so he stopped and asked those people if they understood.
They didn't dare to say that they didn't understand, so they naturally nodded.
Zhang Baoer smiled mysteriously, and then asked them if there was anything they didn't understand. They all shook their heads.
But just when Zhang Baoer nodded and was about to leave, the old man who was the first to eat barbecue stood up and saluted and asked:
"Lord City Lord! I want to ask a question..."
Hearing this, Zhang Baoer was overjoyed and urged him to speak out.
"Since eighteen of us are the decision-makers and the other eighteen are the promulgators, then... well, who will implement it?"
"The Internal Affairs Bureau of the City Chaos Army that I just mentioned now only has Director Qingshan, Deputy Directors Yan Tie and Mao Er, a total of three people. The remaining people and those who are at your disposal will be selected tomorrow... Yes
Oh, I forgot to tell you that you are treated well..."
Hearing this, everyone looked forward to it, with worries and expectations in their eyes.
"Ten percent of the tax will be shared equally among you..."
"What?!"
"this……"
They all couldn't sit still. They didn't need to calculate it carefully to understand how many benefits they would get...too many!
Zhang Baoer smiled and paused for a moment. After they suppressed the ecstasy in their hearts, Zhang Baoer continued:
"But there is one condition... all current employees must be full-time, that is to say, you cannot have to give up other identities! If there is malpractice for personal gain, the crime will be added to the crime and will not be tolerated!"
This sentence caused them to fall into silence, because some of them were 'employees' of others, and some of them had their own careers.
Zhang Baoer stood up and let them go home and think about the things they were thinking about. There was no need to waste their time here.
"May I have your name?"
The person he asked was the old man who was the first to eat meat and the first to speak. He thought this old man was very good. He didn't know and didn't care whether he was smarter or not. What he valued was: this man dared to do what others did not.
thing.
"So that the adults know, the villain's name is Huo Rong..."
"good!"
Zhang Baoer nodded, looked at him and smiled:
"Huo Rong! From now on, you will be the president of the council. Work hard! In addition to the fixed salary, I will personally reward you with another hundred medium-grade spiritual stones. I hope you can break through the golden elixir as soon as possible and add longevity!"
"Sir! This..."
"Stop talking!"
Zhang Baoer smiled and interrupted Huo Rong, who suddenly knelt down, raised his head and shouted outside the hall:
"Yan Tie!"
"exist!"
Yan Tie, who was dozing outside, suddenly jumped up and trotted in, clasping his fists and waiting for orders!
Zhang Baoer pointed at Huo Rong and said:
"This is Huo Rong, the chairman of the upper council. Today you and Mao Er will go back with him. On the one hand, you will protect him. When someone is selected tomorrow, you will be replaced. On the other hand... you should know more about it!"
"yes!"
Zhang Baoer nodded, and in the eyes of everyone who was extremely envious, he walked over and helped Huo Rong, who was kneeling on the ground, and then took out a hundred middle-grade spiritual stones from the space ring and gave it to him.
Huo Rong was naturally frightened. Although he was deeply reluctant to give up, he was still saying words of refusal. How could Zhang Baoer allow him to refuse?! This is a horse bone bought for thousands of dollars!
After forcing one hundred middle-grade spiritual stones into Huo Rong's arms, Zhang Baoer personally sent everyone out of the city lord's mansion.
…
"The Lord of the City not only appointed the charcoal seller next door, Huo Duwu, as the president of the upper council! Moreover, he also gave him a hundred middle-grade spiritual stones! He also sent two guards!"
"Don't let me sleep with you... eh?! Damn it, kid, you... what did you say?!"
"When I was closing the stall just now, I heard someone say that the city lord not only appointed Uncle Huo next door as..."
…
"Shopkeeper! What did you say?! This happened?!"
"Haha... it has spread throughout the whole chaotic city, so of course it is true!"
"Oh my god...one hundred...one hundred pieces of medium-to-medium grade spiritual stones?!"
…
"Dad! I'm going to sign up to join the City Chaos Army tomorrow!"
"Haha, let's go, let's go! You and I will go too!"
"Daddy?! You..."
"Hey! The city lord will never treat the city rebels badly. We, father and son, are no worse than others. How can there be any reason to give people such an opportunity?!"
…
"Master... do you see this?!"
"Let me think about it again, think about it carefully..."
"Master... I'm afraid it's too late. All those slaves have escaped! Didn't the city master declare that 'everyone is equal and free'?!"
…
That night, the people in the chaotic city had no sleep, some were eager to try, some were sighing and fearful all day long, some were lost and full of regret... and so on.
They gathered together with their relatives, friends or people below to talk, and all the topics revolved around the city lord, Huo Rong and others.
The lights in the chaotic city were brightly lit that night, the inns and restaurants were overcrowded, and the poor people borrowed the light outside the door and sat on the ground...
I don’t know who started it, but before dawn, there was already a long queue in the central square. Everyone looked eastward, wishing that the sun would rise earlier.
Because only when the sun rises will light and warmth come to this world, and only when they come to this world can some good luck come to us - human beings are accustomed to calling this mentality: hope.
