Chapter 1110 Chapter 1110: King of Thunder and Lightning [Asking for monthly votes]
Qishan seemed to find his words unconvincing, and added some small details: "A marriage between two surnames is no better than other marriages. Whether it succeeds or not does not depend on the wishes of both men and women, but only on the interests of the family. If the family who is married to the He family knew He Shu's brother is only happy. What a good excuse for the marriage between the two families. Even if the woman doesn't want to accept it, her parents will let her accept it. However, there was no sign of reluctance in his speech or behavior..."
The Lord has always been a soft-hearted person.
He explained specifically because he was afraid that the Lord would be uncomfortable hearing it.
Although in Qi Shan's opinion, there is no need to feel uncomfortable. In this troubled time when men were accustomed to have three wives and four concubines, and women were criticized for their debauched behavior, it was reasonable for the lady to have two husbands, but it was impossible for the two of them to have concubines. No matter how much wealth the two brothers save in the future, the heir will only be the child she gave birth to. This alone can make many wives who are deeply involved in backyard competition for favor and worry about the inheritance of their children envious? It is more important for the three of them to live a peaceful life_(:з」∠)_.
Shen Tang's reaction was not as big as expected.
She just nodded to show that she understood.
“If I have the chance, I would like to get to know him.”
Perhaps she is a woman with an interesting personality.
Qishan said: "The Lord wants to see you, and you can see him now."
Anyway, the whole family is now in their own territory.
"It's still not possible. I don't want to spoil the fun. Let's leave some time for the three of them to get along." Shen Tang felt that this was a bit awkward to say. If you disturb the reunion of a couple after a long separation, you will get kicked. Not everyone is like this group of singles under her account. People like me don't have a friend who knows what's hot and cold. "I also have to think about how to deal with the mess caused by the battle in Shangnan."
With the timely evacuation and the special thunder and lightning, the civilian casualties were small.
The biggest losses in Shangnan County were the city defense buildings, residential buildings in the city, garrison guards, and those aristocratic families who chose to stay indoors during the war. Fang Yan's act of borrowing people in name, but actually committing robbery, successfully forced some families to commit suicide. These families lost their guards and were worried that someone would take advantage of the situation and rob them.
They had to clear their way before large-scale evacuation of the people from the inner city.
In other words, this is a blind cat meeting a dead mouse.
Accidentally avoided He Shu's massacre of the Shangnan family.
Shen Tang looked at the news presented by Fang Yan and was speechless for a long time. His brain began to hurt. He wished he could treat the table as a congratulatory statement and poked through it with his finger: "No, just look at this result. If I am the superior, All ethnic groups in the South, I also wonder if 'I' and He Shu have reached a tacit understanding! Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence? I'm convinced, it's so yellow mud that it's not just shit, it's shit. ! Even 30 to 50 years of soliciting congratulatory messages and squeezing me can’t restore the damage to my reputation.”
Fang Yan hasn't slept well these past few days, and his face looks very bad.
The eldest brother has not left many thoughts for his brothers in this life. Shangnan County holds too many beautiful memories of his brothers. Seeing the once familiar place turned into ruins, Fang Shengsheng has the idea of eating congratulations.
Hate returns to hatred, he also knows that if the congratulatory letter is there, He Shu will not die, and Shen Tang will not kill the hero because of a congratulatory letter.
At least I won’t kill you in the middle of starting a business.
Even if you want to kill them, you must leave them until the day when the birds are gone and the cunning rabbits die.
Fang Yan understands Shen Tang's difficulties and tries to suppress his emotions with reason. By the way, he reminds Shen Tang that the surviving clan members are trying to find ways to unite! Even if He Shu's life could not be taken, the blood feud would be transferred to the He family.
When you send a letter of congratulation to someone who has become an official, you will naturally have countless enemies.
Even the descendants of the He family will be targeted if they join the officialdom.
As long as the bloodline is not extinguished, the hatred of ten generations can still be avenged!
Shen Tang said: "Are there many people?"
“There are not many people who survived, but aristocratic families from all over the country have been married to each other for so many generations, and there are many families involved with them.”
“Tsk, then it depends on He Haogu’s ability.”
Shen Tang thought about it in his mind.
Finally, he waved his hand, indicating that he would not mention it for the time being.
After Fang Yan retreated, Shen Tang stared at the candlelight in trance for a moment, until Qi Shan caught her fishing. Qishan's right arm had just recovered and lacked a grip, so he could only continue to use his left hand. Without the interference of Cui Xiao, the snail girl, Qi Shan can handle official documents more smoothly with his left hand.
Shen Tang refused to admit that he was fishing.
“I’m obviously thinking about big things.”
“Can the Lord help you share your thoughts and worries?”
Shen Tang blurted out: "I was wondering whether the deal of soliciting congratulatory letters and keeping congratulatory statements was worth it. When Fang Yan came, I felt that I was losing money. I just reset my calculations and found that it is quite worth it. Use magic to deal with magic. , use the aristocratic family to deal with the aristocratic family. He Shu has made countless enemies, and there is no possibility of reconciliation in the blood feud. The He family has also been pushed to the forefront. If the He family and the aristocratic family are to be completely separated, they have no choice but to continue. You have surrendered to me wholeheartedly, right?"
Qishan said: "This is natural."
"He Shuhui is a very useful knife." In the future, if she wants to appease the aristocratic family, she only needs to support the He family and incite hatred. She does not have to worry about the He family's betrayal, because the He family has no way out. Supporting one group and then suppressing another group, it makes my heart warm.
Settling the accounts from this perspective, Shen Tang felt balanced.
Qishan said: "He will be."
It seems that the Lord did not slack off in his work.
Shen Tang didn't close her eyes at all that night. She met the heroes who had made meritorious service in this battle one by one. She also went to meet several generals who were recovering from their injuries in person. It was already late at night when Beijiu came back. As soon as he entered the camp, he saw someone waiting for him.
She was startled by Yun Ce who suddenly jumped out.
“Hey, why are you so scary?”
Bei Jiu was angry and punched Yun Ce.
Hearing rustling noises behind him, he turned around and saw a group of Mohists watching the fun. He asked them to chase them away: "What are you looking at? If you feel free, go work in the fields for another two hours."
They need to cooperate in the construction of temporary residences for the victims, and the demolition of the ruins in the city is also a heavy task. Beijiu has not had much rest in the past few days, and he has to guard against the lightning rods that have not been removed on the battlefield. I travel all day long and only come back every day or two. The other Mohists heard this and dispersed reluctantly.
Until there were only two people left nearby.
“Say, what’s the matter?”
What Yun Ce said was not what Beijiu expected.
"The Lord is looking for you, I'm waiting here."
Beijiu entered office mode: "When did the Lord come?"
“It’s been a few hours since I arrived.”
Before he finished speaking, he saw Bei Jiu rushing towards the main tent: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? You could have sent someone to call me!"
Yun Ce followed quickly and whispered as he walked: "Don't be in a hurry. Your Majesty has been meeting other people before and didn't say it was an emergency. I will just come and wait for you. Zhoukou, I have been waiting for you for several days." I haven’t seen you, but I want to say a few words to you.”
After the battle in Shangnan, Beijiu's attitude towards him became much better.
It’s just that I don’t talk as much as before.
Obviously still angry.
Bei Jiu glanced at him sideways: "I've never seen you talk much before! Even if you wanted to talk, you wouldn't look at the time..."
Yun Ce smiled broadly: "Are you not angry anymore?"
Bei Jiu stomped on him angrily: "I'll deal with you later."
Yun Ce said: "I'll wait for you."
Bei Jiu was so angry that he warned Yun Ce with his eyes.
By the time he entered the tent, Beijiu had already straightened up his expression.
When she came in, Shen Tang almost pressed his face against the cloth. The latter knew who had come in without raising his head. He raised his hand and said, "Zhou Kou, come closer and take a look at this. What do you think?"
Bei Jiu approached out of curiosity.
The cloth is covered with crooked lines that are familiar to the painting style.
Shen Tang pointed to the line on the top of the cloth: "This is a thunder cloud." Shen Tang pointed to the lightning line in the center of the cloth: "Thunder and lightning."
Finally, he pointed to the frame under the cloth: "As far as I know, He Shu's scribe's way can summon the sky thunder and transform the sky thunder into stable martial armor. I have an idea, can the martial armor be in another form? For example, a battery... is a thing that stores lightning, and then draws the thunder out of the 'battery' for use?"
Thunderstorms can also fix nitrogen, which is beneficial to agriculture.
She racked her brains to squeeze out the original value from He Shu.
Beijiu picked up the cloth and looked at it for a long time. He didn't have a clear idea for a while, but the Lord's proposal was not impossible to implement.
If He Shu could control it, things would be much simpler. If He Shu could only turn thunder and lightning into armor and stimulate the combat potential of the soldiers, she would have to think of a way to fix the "battery". Bei Jiu was just confused, what did the Lord want with this thing?
Shen Tang thought about how to explain.
Give the simplest example: "lighting."
Beijiu said: "Candlelight will do, too."
“This kind of convenient promotion can be used by ordinary people.”
Bei Jiu was even more confused and had to remind Shen Tang in a low voice: "If I remember correctly, Ling De's house seems to sell a kind of plant lamp that can illuminate, right? It's quite bright and the price is cheap. It's very popular in Fengluo and surrounding areas. Popular with students.”
It seems that this kind of plant lamp is still a big improvement for Lin.
Just looking at the written process, the overall cost of "battery" is much more expensive than that of plant lights. It doesn't seem very cost-effective if you put this into daily use. When used in war, its power is not as good as others.
Beijiu feels that the price/performance ratio is not good.
Shen Tang said: "Lighting is just an insignificant item."
Sigh, it’s really inconvenient to have no electricity.
Bei Jiu heard the words and said no more.
It's a good thing that the higher-ups have assigned tasks. There are so many people who are going to be incarcerated, and the project is big, and the budget is big. What can you do for free? As long as the funds are in place, all requirements are not a problem.
Bei Jiu agreed without even thinking about it. Before Shen Tang could show joy, she whispered about how much the budget could be.
Shen Tang’s smile froze.
“Ahem, I’ll ask the Ministry of Household Affairs to give you a budget later.”
Bei Jiu nodded and turned to talk about the posts that would serve as supervisors, that is, the establishment. In recent years, as Mo Zhe established himself as a general supervisor and contributed to several major projects, his status and salary have also increased. The reputation spread, and Mohists from all over the country heard the news and came to seek refuge one after another. The number of Mohists who will serve as supervisors has been expanded several times, but there are always too many monks and not enough staff!
Many talented Mohists can only have a supernumerary status.
It not only affects salary, but also affects cultivation.
As a master craftsman, Beijiu naturally wants to hire more positions.
These words fell into Shen Tang’s ears in just two words—
Make money!
She bit the bullet and said, "Let's go back to the officials."
Bei Jiu retired with joy, leaving Shen Tang holding his head in pain.
“Money, money, when will we not be short of money?”
Qi Shan came in with a pile of new official documents and heard her wailing. He swallowed the comfort on his lips and cruelly pressed the last straw. He took out the budget for rebuilding Shangnan County. Shen Tang skipped a bunch of raw material and labor quotations and looked directly at the final total amount. Suddenly, his vision went dark and he wanted to grab the land with his head.
He turned He Shu and Wu Xian over and over and cursed.
“By the way, there is also Wu Xian.”
Hitting Gao Guo can bring back a wave of blood.
Wu Xian had many aristocratic families under his command, and the aristocratic families were notoriously fat.
“Poverty will indeed drive people to a dead end.”
She couldn't wait to raise the butcher knife.
Having said that, water far away cannot save the fire nearby.
Shen Tang looked at the ruins in the city. Everywhere she looked was a series of numbers. Every stroke made her feel pain. It would be great if she could build houses and build roads without spending money. She thought so and said so, causing Qi Shan to laugh at her.
“Without spending money? How can Xun Hanzhang reconcile the accounts?”
Shen Tang pointed to the ruins and said, "The spirit of words can solve all sorrows."
“Using the spirit of speech to build houses and roads?”
“Look for it, maybe—”
Shen Tang suddenly paused when he said this.
Qishan didn't hear what happened next. He turned to look at her and saw his master looking thoughtful, as if he was remembering something. Shen Tang said: "I remember that there was this spirit of speech."
At that time, she was killed by this speaking spirit.
At that time, I was lacking in literary skills. Now, over the years, I have made progress in my cultivation. The Chinese national seal has abundant luck. Even if it is not good, there are so many "mobile power banks", so I may not be able to give it a try! She doesn't want to build many houses or build many roads in one go, she just wants to be successful. There is no way, who told her to be poor now.
Save a sum of money.
“Lord?”
Shen Tang suddenly laughed stupidly: "Why don't you give it a try?"
Even if you fail, you have nothing to lose.
Qishan looked confused and had a bit of an ominous feeling in his heart.
"try what?"
The letter of congratulations, immersed in the joy of reunion after a long separation, shuddered, and an inexplicable chill ran down his spine. Before he could figure out the source, a fragrant wind drifted into his nose. He lowered his head, saw a pink and purple cloak draped over his shoulders, and knew who the visitor was: "Brother, are you asleep?"
“I fell asleep, but it wasn’t very stable.”
The letter of congratulations thought of He Shu's obvious white hair on the temples and sighed: "Last time he launched the scribe's way and sacrificed longevity..."
The wife was sent, and the congratulatory letter did not continue to imprison the brother.
Let He Shu come out in the form of a literary person to have some fresh air, so that he can talk to his wife and learn about the trivial matters at home these days.
Madam Madam raised her voice: "Shouyuan?"
The congratulatory letter was worried about how to explain it, but then the lady said with hidden anger: "Well, if he has to be so uncaring, what can I say? Anyway, he is a literary scholar. If he lives a long time, he may still be able to walk away if he consumes more life span. In front of me, an ordinary person.”
He Xin knew that she was angry and did not force an explanation.
The lady said: "Do you really want to become an official?"
The implication is to ask if the congratulatory letter is still leaving.
Kang Guo is ready to destroy Gao Guo. Once the meat grinder of war is started, it will not be easy to stop. He Xin will have to go with the army to fight in the north and south, and he will definitely not be able to stay with her and her children.
“If I don’t serve as an official, my eldest brother won’t be able to keep his job.”
“Is Mr. Shen so domineering?”
The letter of congratulations looked at the lady who was leaning over and said softly: "She is a superior person. She will take life and death as long as it is necessary."

Today I was cleaning up my keyboards and found a lot of them that were useless after I bought them. They had been sitting there gathering dust for almost a year. I was thinking about taking the WB lottery to avoid wasting it.
