Seven days later, Shangjun Courtyard’s screening of farm laborers finally came to an end.
During this process, many people from Xianyang City came to watch the fun.
These people watching the excitement are either rich or noble, and they have money and leisure. After all, in this era, poor people may starve if they don't work for a day. Anyone who can be a spectator here has some assets.
These people had already thought about it when they came. They were just watching the excitement. As long as Shangjun Villa dared to sell tickets and wanted to collect money from them, they would leave immediately. They had been deceived by Shangjun Courtyard too many times, and this time they were determined not to let Huaiguzi earn a penny from them.
However, until the results came out, Shangjun Courtyard did not ask for money. These people are a bit strange. Shangjun Courtyard... has become a good person?
As a result, they soon heard that Shangjun Courtyard did not charge them money, but it had planned 3,000 stalls nearby in advance. The vendors who set up stalls, whether selling food, selling toys, or even performing tricks, Performers must pay venue fees to Shangjun Courtyard.
This is understandable, because the place where the vendors set up their stalls is also the land of Shangjun Courtyard. But the key point is that each stall in Shangjun Courtyard charges 10,000 yuan, which is simply a robbery.
The rich people watching the excitement looked at the vendors with sympathy, feeling that they were extremely miserable, working hard to support their families, and yet being exploited by Shangjun Courtyard.
However, after they inquired carefully, they found that although these vendors paid a venue fee of 10,000 yuan, the money they earned in the past few days was far more than 10,000 yuan.
Because the rich people who come to see the fun inevitably have to eat and buy something. In other words, the wool comes from the sheep, and the money earned by Shangjun Villa comes from these rich people.
The rich fell into deep thought.
Some far-sighted people said with some concern: "If our country, Great Qin, really builds a fairyland on earth in the future, and everyone is like a banished immortal, then it will really be a loss of morals and a collapse of etiquette and music."
The rich people around nodded.
A nearby hawker said angrily: "Can farts, rituals, music, and morals be used as food? In the past, when rituals and music were not broken, we suffered from hunger. Now that the banished immortals have come, we can fill our stomachs." This shows that this etiquette, music and morality may not be a good thing."
The rich people's faces were livid with anger, but they couldn't think of anything to refute for a while. Just use force. If you can't defeat these poor people, order your servants to swarm them. Shangjun Courtyard will definitely intervene.
According to the rules of Shangjun Courtyard, these vendors have to protect the vendors after they pay the venue fee.
Finally, the rich people thought about it and sneered one after another: "A summer insect cannot be said to be ice-free. What do these stupid Guizhou leaders know?"
Then, they waved their sleeves and walked away proudly.

"My lord, my lord, the results are out." Wujiao trotted into Poppy's bedroom.
Poppy was chatting with the palace people. When she saw Wu Jiao running over, she said helplessly: "The banished immortal is not here."
Wu Jiao was stunned: "Not here? Where could it be?"
Poppy said angrily: "Maybe in the alchemy room."
Wu Jiao slapped his forehead: "Yes, there is also an alchemy room."
He bowed hastily, turned around and ran away.
Poppy looked at Wu Jiao's back and sighed, thinking: Wei Young is not young anymore...
Li Shui and Wei Yang were indeed in the alchemy room. They had closed the door tightly and were playing with small hole imaging using convex lenses.
Wu Jiao ran over sweating profusely and shouted from a distance: "Sir, the results are out, a total of ten people have been selected. Three of Xiang Yu's group were selected, and the other seven are all real people who know how to do it." Farming, a strong and physically fit cultivator.”
Li Shui nodded, and then said to Wu Jiao: "What are the ten of them doing now?"
Wu Jiao said: "The competition has just ended. They are all waiting at Shang Jun's Courtyard."
Li Shui thought for a moment and said, "At this time, I have to be present. It's been seven days, and it's time for me to meet Xiang Yu."
Wei Yang looked at him with a worried look: "Do I have to meet him in person?"
Li Shui smiled: "It doesn't matter, he won't dare to hurt me even if I try."
Afterwards, Li Shui said a simple goodbye to Wei Yang and hurried to Shang Jun's Courtyard.
Wu Jiao originally wanted to follow him, but Wei Yang stopped Wu Jiao and asked, "What kind of person is Xiang Yu?"
Wu Jiao sighed: "Princess, don't worry, Xiang Yu is a loser. His mind is stupid and his hands and feet are not agile. If the banished immortal had not ordered us to secretly help him, he would not be qualified to enter Shang Jun's Courtyard."
"If this person is like a firefly and candlelight, then the banished immortal is like the bright moon in the sky. The two are not the same."
Wujiao boasted about Li Shui. But after hearing this, Wei Yang was still a little worried. He asked: "How many feet tall is Xiang Yu? How is his character?"
Wu Jiao thought for a while and said: "He is quite tall, a head taller than me. He is also very powerful. His character... seems to be a bit irritable. When he was killing a pig a few days ago, it was said that he cut off the pig's head with one knife. .”
Weiyang was frightened when she heard this, and said to Wujiao: "Go back to Shangjun's courtyard quickly and choose a few more guards with strong martial arts skills to protect the banished immortal."
Wujiao thought: I still have to choose? The banished immortal had already secretly selected more than a hundred guards, and they were even wearing inner armor...
Wujiao laughed dryly and said to Weiyang: "Don't worry, princess, banishing the immortal will be absolutely foolproof."
Weiyang thought about it, but still felt uneasy, and said to Wujiao: "Wait for me for a moment. I will go to Shang Jun's Courtyard with you."
Wu Jiao had no choice but to wait patiently.
He is experienced and knows that when a woman goes out, she cannot finish cleaning up in an hour or two. However, this time Wei Young only went for a moment and then came back.
Wu Jiao found that she just changed her clothes and didn't wash herself up deliberately. It seemed that she was really anxious.
Weiyang got on the carriage, took a personal maid and a team of guards and went straight to Shang Jun's villa.
A quarter of an hour later, Wei Yang saw Shang Jun's courtyard.
Niu Da was sitting at the door. When he saw Wei Yang coming, he immediately opened the courtyard door.
Weiyang's carriage didn't stop and ran directly in.
In the middle of Shangjun's courtyard, there is a large courtyard, which is now full of people.
Some strong craftsmen surrounded Li Shui, and in front of Li Shui were Xiang Yu and others.
Weiyang didn't get close. After getting off the carriage, she looked over there.
She saw Li Shui standing on the steps with a relaxed and contented look on his face, while Xiang Yu and others were kneeling on the ground, motionless, looking sincerely convinced.
Wei Yang asked Wu Jiao in a low voice: "Which one is Xiang Yu?"
Wu Jiao whispered: "That's the youngest one."
At this time, Li Shui had slowly walked up to Xiang Yu and asked deliberately: "What is your name?"
Xiang Yu lowered his head and said: "I... No, the villain's name is Liu Ji. He is from Sishuiting in Pei County. Because of the war in Chu, he followed the caravan and came to Xianyang to seek life."
Li Shui was stunned after hearing this: Liu Ji? Liu Bang? Isn't this guy Xiang Yu?
But if I look carefully, I feel something is wrong. The ages don't match up. Liu Bang and Ying Zheng are about the same age, but Xiang Yu is obviously a young man.
Soon Li Shui realized that Xiang Yu had assumed Liu Bang's identity.
This world is really wonderful. So, the two of them have already seen each other?
Li Shui sighed in his heart, and then said to Xiang Yu: "Get up and talk."
Xiang Yu lay still on the ground.
Li Shui said calmly: "What, you don't want to get up?"
Xiang Yu said nothing with a grimace.
Li Shui laughed.
This was exactly Li Shui's plan to make him work non-stop for seven days, working eighteen hours a day. Not to mention humans, even animals can't stand it.
At this time, Xiang Yu couldn't even stand up, let alone killing people.
Xiang Yu lay on the ground, listening to Li Shui's laughter, his teeth itching with hatred. It's a pity that now my hands and feet are weak and I can't kill this person at all.
In the end, Xiang Yu could only comfort himself: Anyway, I had not come into contact with Huaiguzi when I was in Chu. Since he can't see through my identity, I can lurk in Shangjun Courtyard and stay by his side. Sooner or later I will have the chance to kill this person.
Xiang Yu was swearing secretly, and Wei Yang curiously asked Wu Jiao: "Why are these rebels so respectful when they see Huai Guzi?"
Wu Jiao said with a smile: "This may be the legendary aura. The banished immortal is an immortal, so he naturally has extraordinary aura. When the rebels saw him, they were frightened, so they knelt on the ground and did not dare to move."
Weiyang nodded and saw that there were many guards around Li Shui, and then she felt relieved.
She breathed a sigh of relief, got back on the carriage, and said to Wu Jiao: "You are here to help banish the immortal. I will return to the palace now."
Wu Jiaoqi asked: "Won't the princess stay and say hello to the banished immortal?"
Weiyang smiled and said: "No need. I am busy with the business of banishing the immortal, so I won't disturb you."
In the palace these days, the two of them stayed together all day long, and there was really no need to say hello.
Weiyang was in a hurry when she came, but when she left, she felt much more at ease, and the speed of the carriage naturally slowed down.
When passing the gate, Weiyang opened the curtain and smiled at Niu Da: "When you entered, you seemed to have forgotten to collect my ticket money."
Niu Dao smiled dryly and said: "How dare you, how dare you. Seeing a princess is like seeing an immortal. How dare a villain accept money from his master?"
Wei Young smiled helplessly: "It's incoherent, how can anyone flatter someone like this?"
Niu Diao stuffed money into the hands of the palace maid, while nodding and bowing and said: "Yes, yes, the villain is stupid. In the future, he must learn more from the banished immortals and learn how to flatter others."
Wei Young was completely defeated by him.
…………
After Wei Young left, Li Shui was still giving lectures to the new employees.
The craftsmen in Shangjun Courtyard all looked at Li Shui with admiration. They knew that Xiang Yu was a rebel and his purpose was to assassinate the banished immortal. But now? The rebels finally saw the banished immortal, but they didn't even dare to move.
Banishing immortals is really a god.
Li Shuizheng was talking happily when Tietou came over and said with some embarrassment: "Sir, there is an extra Liu Xian in the academy now. This person has been clamoring to see you all day long, which is really annoying."
Li Shui was a little confused: "Liu Xian? Whose family is he? If he doesn't study hard, what will he do with me? Tell his parents that these students who disobey discipline will have to pay extra tuition."
Tietou looked confused, and after a while he said: "He is not someone's son, he is Song E's bodyguard."
Li Shui was also stunned for a while, and suddenly realized: "Oh, it's Brother Xian, please come quickly, please come quickly. I arranged for Brother Xian to study in the academy, is he not satisfied?"
Tietou laughed dryly: "Satisfied, quite satisfied. I see that he is studying very hard, and he often comes out on top in grabbing food every day. He just wants to see the banished immortal, as if he is possessed." "
While talking, Xiang Xian had already been brought.
When Xiang Xian saw Li Shui, he felt like he was seeing a relative, and cried, "Sir, I finally see you again."
Li Shui said helplessly: "I placed you in the academy because I hope you can make a difference. No one else can ask for such an opportunity, so why are you still unhappy when I hear it?"
Xiang Xian was stunned for a moment and said: "It's not that I'm unhappy, it's just that the people in the academy are too cruel. Eating a meal is like fighting, really like wolves and tigers..."
Li Shui said: "If poor people want to get ahead, don't they have to fight for it? If your parents were Wang Wan and Chun Yuyue, you wouldn't have to fight for it. But it's not the case."
Xiang Xian nodded repeatedly.
Li Shui said: "Now that Song E has entered the palace, you don't have to be a guard beside her. Are you interested in coming to Shang Jun's Villa to be a guard?"
Xiang Yu, who was lying on the ground, heard this and felt envious in his heart: This is the job that he has always dreamed of.
Suddenly, Xiang Yu was shocked again: Huaiguzi and Xiang Xian seemed to be very close. Why are you so enthusiastic about him?
Xiang Xian said to Li Shui, "I want to find some folks from Chu. Then I can make plans."
Li Shui smiled, pointed at Xiang Yu who was lying on the ground and said, "Aren't your relatives here? They have already come to work as tenants."
Xiang Xian was startled, and when he looked carefully, he saw that Xiang Yu was indeed inside.
Xiang Xian quickly ran over, helped Xiang Yu up, and stammered: "How...how..."
Xiang Yu gritted his teeth and said, "Put me down."
Seeing that Xiang Yu looked unhappy, Xiang Xian suddenly panicked: "What's going on? Could it be that I did something wrong..."
Xiang Yu held his breath and squeezed out a sentence from his throat: "Standing... tired."
Xiang Xian let go in confusion, Xiang Yu lay on the ground again, and then let out a contented sigh.
Xiang Xian looked at all this blankly, and then said to Li Shui: "Young man, I am willing to be with the villagers and become an employer."
Li Shui said with emotion: "That's all, since you insist on doing this, I won't force others to do anything. Then you can be an employee. I will hire you today as an exception."
Xiang Xian was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.
The craftsmen around him looked at him strangely, thinking: This man is really stupid. How good would he be as a guard? He had to eat and drink enough every day and just go around and be careful. This person wanted to be an employee.
Later, the craftsmen thought again: Is this person a fellow villager with the rebels? He's probably a rebel as well. The rebels are really stupid. ntent
