Chapter 285

this result.

Within a few days, it spread to the imperial capital of the Nanyu Empire.

court.

Early in the morning, there was a report from the minister.

finished listening.

The queen mother, who was listening to the government behind the curtain, couldn't help but feel happy.

"good."

"good."

"Jinzhou Mu is a rebellious thief, and sometimes he suffers. In the future, pay more attention to this new governor. Maybe, one day, he will be of great use."

"yes!"

The ministers agreed.

indeed.

The existence of the new governor has brought some more variables to Jinzhou.

Jinzhou has disgusted them for so long, and now let Jinzhou Mu have a taste, like a stick in his throat.

. . .

Jinju.

state capital.

When something like this happened, Zhou Mu could imagine how Nan Yu made fun of him. A group of reckless people forced him to appoint him as governor.

beat?

Don't dare, he can't afford to lose.

and.

According to the news sent back, those people are very good at buying people's hearts. In the current Qu Mansion, the people are very dissatisfied with him because of what they did in the past.

Up and down.

Resentment is heavy.

The hearts of the people are lost.

have no choice!

After weighing it over and over again, he agreed to those conditions.

autonomy!

Tribute!

Thirty thousand taels of gold a year, and one million catties of grain. Thinking of this, Zhou Mu couldn't help but feel hot. In the past, the Qu Mansion paid less than half of this tribute a year.

Now doubling it is a big profit.

never mind.

Think of it as selling an official, anyway, it's not like I haven't done it before.

Today, what is ultimately required is stability and nothing can go wrong.

. . .

The success of the 'Uprising' in the Qu Mansion has activated many people's minds, and they wanted to follow suit, but soon realized how ridiculous their own ideas were.

want to succeed.

First, the local area is chaotic.

Second, popular support is lost.

Third, its own strength.

Obviously.

It is very difficult to find those who meet this condition.

Hundred cities?

Disaster!

Because most of them are city-states, the family is powerful, and the power of the government is even attached to the family. In such a place, it is a dream to rely on false edicts.

Qianzhai?

Ah!

It is more closed than a hundred cities, ruled by the clan, and there is no outsider's share.

two countries?

Don't even think about the Dayan Empire. Although the old emperor died and the vassal kings were separated, they still maintain unity. Once there is a rebellion, it will be suppressed directly.

at last.

It is the Nanyu Empire, orthodox difference, rebellion is death.

that's all.

Analysis comes, analysis goes.

Everyone found that only Qufu in Jinju met all the conditions, and even other places in Jinju did not meet the loss of popular support.

have no choice!

This single seedling was pulled out first.

As for strength? Many people think that to control a government, there is still a shortage of soldiers?

Pirates can also be killed by piles of people.

. . .

No matter what the outside world thinks, Qu Mansion is moving forward according to someone's plan.

a certain village.

A large number of villagers were called together.

"Starting today, in order to facilitate travel, the road will be repaired. All villages will work hard to level and widen the road from the village to the official road. The standard will follow the official road."

"..."

"To prevent bandits, each village forms a guard."

"..."

"As long as one person joins the guard team, the family can be exempted from land tax. There is a limit of 30 people in a village, and there is a subsidy. Every three days, they go to the town to train for one day."

"..."

"The government will distribute poultry breeds to various farmers, and after they are raised, they will be purchased uniformly."

"..."

"In the future, Qufu will fully implement cheap first-class salt, and other low-quality salt will no longer be allowed to be sold. In order to distribute it reasonably, the population will be registered."

"The quota is based on the number of people, and the price has already been set, ten copper coins per person."

"..."

A large number of new rules made the villagers' minds a little buzzing.

but.

But I am overjoyed, because they are all good things.

build roads.

guard.

duty free.

poultry species.

First class salt.

…

Every item is actually related to their interests. They are not afraid of suffering, but they are afraid of not running ahead. Now, the new governor is obviously a hard worker.

For example, first-class salt was previously priced in taels of silver.

Today, it can be purchased with copper plates.

For the new governor, they are all in support.

. . .

A certain county.

Population registration has already started one step ahead, and the grain sale has already been sold out, and there is only one benefit of registration at the moment—cheap first-class salt.

To this.

The people were very enthusiastic.

quota system.

Registered, within the monthly quota, it can be cheap, if it exceeds, you have to pay a high price, mainly to combat private salt dealers who bought it and sold it in Beppu.

Roads in the village.

The county seat is also repaired.

Having been destroyed by pirates for many years, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the entire Qu Mansion is in ruins.

. . .

Earth.

shop.

Since it was the beginning of the month, Shu Fu opened as usual.

Spring Festival is approaching.

beaming.

Red lanterns were also hung at the entrance of Shu Fu's store, and there was even a woodcut red knot in the window, which attracted the attention of many passers-by, who came to take a look.

talk.

Photograph.

surprise.

Because the engraving is too fine, even if you look closely, it is difficult to see that it is wood, because Shu Fu used micro-carving techniques and extensive use of hollowing out techniques.

Plus almost full-level coloring technology.

In the end, this work was achieved.

That's right.

work!

A Chinese knot.

It seems simple, but it is the pinnacle of Shu Fu's craftsmanship at present. The carving knife in his hand is the smallest, just like an ordinary sewing needle, for this knot.

Shu Fu spent twenty hours.

"Boss, how much is this?"

"five hundred?"

"one thousand?"

"One thousand and five?"

"..."

Later, the man asked two thousand.

"Young man, are you stupid, two thousand to buy Master Shu's work? Just came back from another place?"

Many people around smiled in good faith. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and many people have returned from working outside. Naturally, they lack understanding of Shu Yi, who became famous in the second half of the year.

"Just this work, there is no 10,000, don't even think about it."

"..."

The man froze for a moment.

Silly!

Ten thousand to buy a piece of wood, his salary for two months.

only.

The next moment, he realized that he couldn't understand the world anymore.

"Xiaofu, can you sell it for 100,000 yuan?" An old man came in.

"Not for sale."

"..."

Well, the old man could only shrug his shoulders, expressing his helplessness. No matter how much money Shu Fu wanted to sell, no one would let him go, at least he couldn't break it.

Pity.

Such a fine carved work cannot be owned.

I wanted Shu Fu to carve one for me, but he refused.

Currently, Shu Fu only accepts engraved portraits.

"One hundred thousand? Master, isn't this being taken advantage of?" The man came back to his senses, looking at the expression of a fool.

heard the words.

The old man smiled at him.

"Yes, but I can't even be taken advantage of."

finished.

Continue to admire the miniature carvings in the window, the more you look at it, the more you like it, this kind of craftsmanship, he dares to say, it is the only one in the whole country, there is no other semicolon, it is amazing!

Miniature carving is difficult.

What's even more difficult is such a large miniature carving. After searching for a long time, I couldn't find any place where the engraving was damaged.

Even if you let those woodcut masters come, don't even think about engraving it well, and it is difficult to be so perfect.

If he didn't know that Shu Fu didn't want to buy it, he would be willing to pay hundreds of thousands.

For those who don't like it, it's wood, but for those who like it, it's craft.
