The next day, when it was dawn, Xiang Yu and the Xiang family's children ate something in a hurry, and then went to Shangjun's courtyard.
More than 500 people had gathered at the entrance of Shangjun Courtyard. This is after yesterday's screening of net worth and innocence.
Xiang Yu took a casual look and found that the selected people were all strong and strong, and he was suddenly a little puzzled. Could it be that those who commit crimes are all weak?
At this time, a craftsman came over slowly, holding a trumpet made of rolled iron, and shouted to everyone: "Everyone, form your team and come in in order. No one is allowed to fight. Our Shangjun Courtyard, It is a harmonious place, and everyone in the courtyard has been inspired by the banished immortals, and they are all gentlemen. If you can't be polite, then there is no need to come in."
The powerful and powerful people who were watching the excitement nearby almost vomited. Shang Jun's other courtyards are no different, his shamelessness is indeed the best in the world.
While everyone was lining up, Xiang Yu kept staring at the craftsman. Suddenly, he said with emotion: "This man is really talented. His voice is so loud that it can be heard clearly hundreds of meters away."
Someone next to him glanced at him and said with disdain: "Brother, you are not from Xianyang, right?"
Xiang Yu was stunned for a moment and said as politely as possible: "I am from Chu. In order to avoid the war, I followed the caravan to Xianyang."
The man hummed and said to Xiang Yu: "The craftsman just now is not gifted, he just borrowed some immortal weapons."
Xiang Yu looked at this man in surprise: "Immortal weapon?"
The man said: "This thing is called Xiankou, commonly known as a loudspeaker. It is a production method passed down from the banished immortal. Just hold it in your hand and speak to it, and your voice can be amplified several times."
"According to the Exalted Immortal, this is only the first edition. There are more advanced people in the Immortal Realm who can make sounds for miles. It's a pity that Da Qin's products are poor and the people are stupid. If a fairyland on earth can be built in the future, we can also experience this. It’s a fetish.”
Xiang Yu nodded slowly, and then felt a little puzzled: This Huaiguzi does have some skills. But when he was in Chudi, why was he so calm that no one noticed him? Has he been pretending, or has he encountered another adventure after arriving in Qin?
The descendants of the Xiang family chatted with the people around them, firstly to pass the time, and secondly to gather information.
As a result, the descendants of the Xiang family discovered that these people highly respected Huaiguzi.
The more Xiang Yu listened, the more depressed he became. He felt that there was still a long way to go to counter Qin's great cause.
Not long after, it was Xiang Yu and his group's turn.
The craftsman responsible for this matter checked their bamboo tags and after confirming their identity, they casually gave him a farm tool and asked him to stand aside and wait.
An hour later, the sun rose, the sky was bright, and the chill of the morning had been swept away.
The craftsman has already registered everyone. He walked up to a high place, raised his trumpet and said, "As the saying goes, a day's plan begins in the morning, and a year's plan begins in the spring. Now that spring plowing is coming, it is a good time to do farm work. You want to enter Shangjun To be an employee in another courtyard, you must be proficient in farm work."
Xiang Yu couldn't help but say: "But I want to be a guard..."
The craftsman glanced at him and said calmly: "Then you can put down your tools and leave now."
Everyone around looked at Xiang Yu with encouragement. After all, one less person means one less competitor. But Xiang Yu endured it and said nothing.
Seeing that he was being honest, the craftsman continued: "The banished immortal is a versatile man in both civil and military affairs. He knows astronomy at the top and geography at the bottom. Everyone in the craftsmen in Shangjun Courtyard follows the banished immortal as an example, even though he cannot banish him. Even if you reach the height of immortality, you should move forward with all your strength."
"Therefore, whether you want to be a farmer or a guard, you must follow the requirements of Shangjun Courtyard. Maybe you will find your strengths after you try it."
The people around him nodded in agreement with a look of flattery on their faces.
Xiang Yu frowned: Farming? I don’t know how, what should I do...
After the craftsman said something, he pointed to the farmland outside Shangjun Courtyard and said: "As we all know, Shangjun Courtyard vigorously promotes the field farming method. Today, you will fill the top of the ridge with soil and fill it into the ditch. You only need to fill two inches. . We will choose two hundred and fifty people from among you, these people will not only do it fastest, but also do it best."
When Xiang Yu heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief: It turned out to be just filling in the soil. Fortunately, this work is not difficult, and I can see it well.
The craftsman continued: "Besides, it doesn't matter if there are no chosen ones. Banished Immortal will pay everyone their wages according to the market price."
After hearing this, those people all burst into tears and muttered, "The banished immortal is really a generous person."
The craftsman waved his hand and said, "Everyone, go ahead."
So the group of people ran to the ground in a hurry. They have been sorted and numbered there. Xiang Yu found his number and started doing it happily.
Although he was young, he was naturally strong and strong, which was different from ordinary people, so he quickly reached the front of the pack.
But doing farm work is not just about strength, there are also various skills involved. Soon Xiang Yu slowed down, and there was even a tendency for someone to catch up to him.
Xiang Yu gritted his teeth, gathered strength, and rushed forward desperately. After rushing for a while, I was exhausted, and I could only stop to take a breath, and then continue to rush forward... There is nothing more tiring than working like this. Unfortunately, by the time Xiang Yu figured this out, it was already too late.
The experienced farmers took their time and chased after Xiang Yu. They all laughed when they saw such a young boy grinning tiredly.

In the palace, Li Shui was writing a book with Weiyang again. Today I happened to write about the Kingdom of Women.
There is a characteristic of these two people writing books. Li Shui always tells the general plot, which is equivalent to having branches. Weiyang then added dialogue and specific descriptions to make the story flesh and blood.
After Weiyang listened to Li Shui tell the story today, she didn't write anything for a long time. In a daze, she felt that Li Shui had become the alchemist who went to Kunlun Mountain to seek immortality, and that she was the king of the daughter country.
Thinking that both of them were deeply in love with each other but were destined to miss each other, I couldn't help but feel my eyes turn red and shed tears.
Li Shui sighed: "How can I still cry while listening to Journey to the West?"
He smiled dryly and comforted Weiyang: "This is just a story, don't take it seriously. What's more, this is a story about the immortal world, which is different from Great Qin."
When Wei Yang heard this, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Li Shui thoughtfully.
Li Shui felt terrified when she saw him, always feeling that something bad was going to happen.
Wei Young suddenly spoke: "Is the story of Journey to the West your own story?"
Li Shui was confused: "What?"
Weiyang added: "Are you that alchemist? Do you have a loved one in the fairy world? She is the king of the daughter country?"
Li Shui: "Huh?"
Weiyang added: "In the past, when you talked about the Three Kingdoms and Red Mansions, you always finished it in one go. But this time when you talked about Journey to the West, I always felt that you were hesitant, and some plots were missing a lot of things. It was obvious that you deliberately concealed something. You Did you hide your identity on purpose?"
Li Shui: "..."
This woman's brain power is really...
In the end, Li Shui could only rack his brains and persuade Weiyang to believe that this was a story widely circulated in the fairy world and had nothing to do with him.
As for why he was hesitant when speaking, it seemed as if something had been deleted. In the end, Li Shui was forced to have no choice but to explain with a blushing face: "It's just because the person who made up this story added a lot of unhealthy things in it in order to spread it more widely."
Wei Yang's innocent eyes widened: "What is unhealthy?"
Li Shui said: "It is just for the purpose of spreading widely, some passages that adults like."
Speaking of this, Li Shui felt a little ashamed. He had changed Journey to the West into the List of Gods before, but now he was going to develop in the direction of Jin Pingmei.
Wu Chengen, I'm sorry...
Weiyang became even more curious: "Did you add it to spread the word? Tell me quickly. If everyone likes it, I will write a book in the future and I will also add it."
Li Shui imagined the scene of Princess Weiyang writing a small book under the lamp. It was really exciting...
Li Shui coughed dryly and said to Wei Yang: "Since the princess must listen, then it is better for me to be respectful than to obey."
Then, he told a joke with a relatively low yellow content.
After hearing this, Princess Weiyang was stunned for a long time. She suddenly covered her face with her hands, turned around and ran away.
Li Shui watched Wei Young disappear at the door and sighed slightly, thinking: Qin people are not very tolerant.
Just when he thought of this, Wei Young suddenly came back. Li Shui was greatly surprised: How did you...
Before she finished speaking, Princess Weiyang picked up the manuscript next to her and slapped Li Shui hard on the head with the pile of paper: "Indecent."
Then she ran away holding the manuscript.
Li Shui said aggrievedly behind her, "You asked me to tell you."
Wei Young disappeared, Li Shui stretched, walked out of the house and began to bask in the sun.
Just when my body and mind were warm from the sun and I was feeling a little sleepy, Wujiao came.
Li Shui looked at the sun, it was probably noon, and asked, "How's it going?"
Wu Jiao said: "In just one morning, a lot of farmland in Shangjun's courtyard has been plowed. It is estimated that the farm work will be completed in one day. This move to banish the immortal is really wonderful."
Wujiao was very happy. When he established Shangjun Villa, he had original shares. Now Wujiao can be regarded as the richest among eunuchs.
Li Shui smiled and asked, "How are Xiang Yu and those people?"
A look of disdain appeared on Wu Jiao's face: "They look strong, but they don't know how to do farm work. Especially this Yu, he is so stupid. At first, he did it very quickly, but now It has been gradually overtaken. Moreover, the soil he filled was of uneven thickness. Either the soil was too little, not enough to grow the seedlings, or the soil was too much, suppressing the seedlings."
Li Shui was a little different: "In order to take care of him, I specially chose the simplest job for him. He can't even do this well?"
Wu Jiao sighed: "From my perspective, this person is a waste."
Li Shui always felt that this scene was a bit funny. Xiang Yu, who would be powerful in the world in the future, was actually called a waste. He smiled and said, "Just think of a way to let him barely pass."
Wujiao responded and went to explain to the people in Shangjun's courtyard.
…………
At the same time, in Ying Zheng's study. A messenger is delivering a battle report. The battle report sent by Wang Jian.
The content inside made Ying Zheng sneer: Xiang Liang rebelled, and Xiang Liang rebelled again.
According to Wang Jian, after this man escaped from the cage, he wandered around Chu. He first arrived at Xiangjia Village and persuaded the Xiang family there. Relying on blood ties, he encouraged people in the village to rebel.
Later, Xiang Liang went to Xiaoxiang Village, Liuxiang Village, Qianxiang Village...
As long as they are in the Chu region and have the surname Xiang, regardless of whether they are blood relatives or not, Xiang Liang will cling to them and then encourage them to rebel.
At the beginning, he was weak and tried to persuade the villagers to rebel. After he gained more troops and generals, he coerced the villagers into rebelling.
Xiang Liang now has an army of 3,000 men, and is looting nearby villages and towns, forcing the refugees to rebel. And there are countless thieves who are defecting to Xiang Liang.
Wang Jian led his army and fought more than ten battles with Xiang Liang, winning one after another. However, after Xiang Liang was defeated, he was unable to annihilate him and hid in Chu.
At the end of the battle report, Wang Jian implored Ying Zheng to kill all the people named Xiang in Chu so that Xiang Liang would no longer have a place to hide. Only in this way can the disaster be eliminated forever.
Ying Zheng looked at it with a sneer, and then said to the messenger: "A few dozen days ago, Wang Jian made it clear that the Chu land had been pacified, and Xiang Liang would never be able to stir up trouble again. Why is the Chu land in chaos again today?"
The messenger was trembling and did not dare to answer.
Ying Zheng waved his hand: "That's all, please step back."
The other party was just a pawn delivering a message. Although Ying Zheng was annoyed, he would not care about such a person. It would not reflect the emperor's majesty, but would appear embarrassing.
Ying Zheng thought for a while and said to the eunuch on duty: "Pass this to everyone in Wang Wan."
The young eunuch responded and hurried away. Having been on duty with Ying Zheng for a long time, the young eunuch naturally knew that the so-called people refer to the banished immortal Li Xin, Li Sichun Yu Yue, Zhao Teng and others...
About a quarter of an hour later, everyone arrived in a hurry. They had heard from the young eunuch that Xiang Liang had rebelled again, so they were worried and hurried over.
When they arrived at the door of the study, they found Li Shui waiting there.
Everyone knows that Li Shui has been staying in the palace recently. A quarter of an hour is not enough for him to enter the study?
He delayed deliberately, clearly waiting for the courtiers and wanting to show off his foresight.
Anyone who guessed this couldn't help but curse inwardly.
Sure enough, when Li Shui saw everyone had arrived, he sighed faintly: "Oh, unfortunately I am right."
Li Xin also sighed faintly: "Yes. It's unfortunate that the two of us were right."
Chunyu Yue looked at Li Shui and was speechless: "Exiled Immortal, this is a troubled time, but you are here to be complacent, how can you behave like this?"
Then, he looked at Li Xin again: "You just follow what others say. Isn't it glorious?"
Li Xin said aggrievedly: "That day, I did predict that Wang Jian would rebel."
Li Shui turned around, looked at Wang Wan and said, "That day, the Prime Minister seemed to have said that Wang Jian would not rebel."
Wang Wan coughed dryly and said: "What I mean is that if there is no battle report, it is impossible to determine whether Wang Jian has rebelled. Now that the battle report has come, Wang Jian...most likely rebelled."
Zhao Teng said worriedly: "Now Xiang Liang has three thousand people, and he is secretly assisted by Wang Jian. They are getting stronger day by day. It is not easy to pacify the Chu land."
Chunyu Yue said: "Wang Jian has rebelled. This man must not be left here. He should be captured immediately and taken back to Xianyang to be punished."
Li Si said next to him: "I'm afraid it's too late. Wang Jian should have taken control of the army by now. If he is forced to return to Xianyang, I'm afraid he will occupy the Chu land and split the territory. Even if his Qin soldiers are unwilling to rebel, , he can also occupy the mountain and become the king. In either case, the imperial court will lose face."
Li Xin sighed: "It's a pity that no one believed me that day."
Li Shui suddenly let out a sigh and said, "My lords, why didn't you go in when you arrived at the door? What are you discussing outside? Your Majesty must be impatient to wait."
Everyone looked at Li Shui speechlessly: If you hadn't stopped us and showed off your foresight, we would have gone in long ago, okay?
Chunyu Yue said: "Exiled Immortal, give way and don't block the door."
As if Li Shui had just come to his senses, he shouted, turned around, and entered the study room immediately.
