While having a drink with the two alchemists Mo You and Yue Zhong and chatting about alchemy, Yong Zhi, Lu Kuang, Yong Laoshu, Dong Da, Ding Ran, Suo Laoliu, Zhang Xiaokeng and others came to visit. Unfortunately, the winter bamboo shoots were on the People went to chase the messenger Yanhua, otherwise Yongrentang would have been even more lively - the old man liked this kind of occasion full of people.
Yong Zhi, Lu Kuang and Uncle Yong were dressed neatly. After entering, they straightened their clothes and tied their belts. They bowed to Wu Sheng and said in unison: "Someone is willing to join the doctor's sect and serve as the master. I sincerely ask the doctor to accept you!"
Although he had been looking forward to it for a long time, Wu Sheng couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised when this moment arrived.
These three are all senior Qi Refining Realm practitioners. Among them, Yong Zhi and Lu Kuang are the top experts among senior Qi Refining Practitioners. They behave like national scholars and are really rare talents. They were originally disciples of Guolao Yongzifu and Sikong Lufang respectively, but they have been expelled by their masters, so there is no problem in switching to them.
Wu Sheng smiled and said, "Here comes the wine!"
Mo You and Yue Zhong hurriedly served Wu Sheng with wine: "Congratulations to Master Shen, for opening the gates of the mansion and welcoming high-ranking scholars!"
The wine cups were presented, Wu Sheng drank with them, and bowed to the three of them according to etiquette. These three were considered to have entered Wu Sheng's sect, and from now on they would be called corporals of the Keqing sect.
After collecting these three people, Wu Sheng helped them up one by one and ordered them to set up another meeting. Suo Laoliu and Zhang Xiaokeng went out to organize the meeting. They came well prepared. The banquet and other items had been prepared a long time ago and were immediately brought into the hall.
Wu Sheng held hands with each other, invited them to sit down, and happily said to Mo You and Yue Zhong: "Two alchemists, these are my famous men. The kings have heard of their bravery and praised them as tiger warriors. Today. If you come under my door, you can become my right-hand man!"
Mo You: "..."
Yue Zhong: "..."
In joy, Wu Sheng looked at Dong Da, Ding Ran and others, and saw that they were eager to try, so he smiled and said: "You have worked hard to die and helped protect the people. Your Majesty once praised you as 'strong men'. The day before yesterday I have been promised to recruit wise men..."
Isn’t this the day these people have been looking forward to? Everyone was overjoyed and bowed down to Wu Sheng, asking him to be a corporal of the guest family.
Wu Sheng, of course, approved, so when these people went out to say hello, someone else brought the prepared wine case, and the main hall of the inner house was filled to the brim.
Wu Sheng patted their shoulders and praised: "You are like my right-hand man, help me to achieve my great ambitions in the future!"
Mo You and Yue Zhong: "..."
Yong Zhi, Lu Kuang and Uncle Yong: "???"
Ding Ran waved, and several beautiful female actresses came in immediately outside the door. They were Qiaoqiao, Susu, Zhenru, Minghua, Jiuge, Chunxia, and Dongxue. It was difficult to see any of them in the past, but now they are all here. , fighting for beauty.
There was no room in the small Yongren Hall, so the banquet was placed under the eaves, while the female dancers danced, sang, played the harp or flute in the courtyard, which made people's hearts tremble.
During the dinner, Wu Sheng said to Ding Ran: "Next time, don't be so extravagant. It will cost a lot, right? How much gold will I pay?"
Ding Ran smiled: "You don't need a penny, just come here. Except Cai Niang and Aunt Liu, they all hope to imitate Ning Xiang and serve the nobles."
Late at night, someone from the palace came, carrying a big box and announcing an edict to Wu Sheng. It was King Qingyu who heard that Wu Sheng was hosting a banquet today, so he sent a special congratulatory gift.
It was said to be a congratulatory gift, but in fact it also meant a reward. Wu Sheng helped his heir ascend to the throne and made many suggestions. The strategies he proposed almost became Dayong's top national policy this year, and it was a big plan that could last for several years or ten years. , such a great achievement, only to worship a guest, Qingyu himself can't get over the hurdle in his heart.
For example, Si Wei Yi Pu will soon be promoted to Sikong, and the position of Si Wei will be taken over by Men Yin Yongji. These are important positions. When Yuan Sima's official position reached its peak and there was nothing more to add, Qingyu gave him a lot of money, so it was natural to bring a big box over.
After Wu Sheng thanked him, he opened the box on the spot. There were sixty yi of pure gold inside, as well as many magic weapons and spiritual materials, and they were all good things. Even though Qingyu had just sat on the throne and had not collected any gifts yet, he must have been giving rewards and spending money these days. However, he had stolen most of the property that could not be taken away, as well as the mansion of the dead ghost Bu Yin, which was enough. Let him eat well.
"Today, all the talented people have arrived. Your Majesty has given you something extraordinary. If you have something you like, please choose it yourself. You don't have to save it for me. This is Your Majesty's favor, and you all deserve it!" Wu Sheng was very happy! He is generous and does not say that he only makes people work hard and gain nothing. He has always adhered to this concept very well.
Except for Mo You and Yue Zhong, who declined for a while and were persuaded, the other diners were not polite and each chose one item according to their needs. Mo You and Yue Zhong chose top-grade spiritual materials, while Yong Zhi, Lu Kuang and other disciples chose magical weapons for fighting, either focusing on attacking or focusing on collecting, which greatly made up for their own shortcomings in fighting skills and enhanced their strength. They were all very happy. carry.
The palace official issued another edict, which was a fiefdom confirmation order for Wu Sheng after he became a guest minister. The guest minister belongs to the lower rank of the official, and the monarch can give him a fief or not. It all depends on his mood. Qingyu is in a good mood, so he must give it.
The fiefdom given to Wu Sheng was given according to Wu Sheng's wishes during the hunting tour a few days ago.
Qingyu originally wanted Wu Sheng to choose among the kingdoms, and grant him all the unowned land, but the kingdom was only a hundred miles across, and the good places had already been sealed, so where could he get anything else? Therefore, I was prepared for a heavy hemorrhage. If I had no choice, I would give Wu Sheng the fiefdom I had when I was a prince. It was a thousand acres of paddy fields by Zhuye Creek! Of course, after taking a fief, you will have to pay taxes to the monarch in the future. This is the responsibility of a minister.
But Wu Sheng did not choose to be in the country, but directly wanted Mangdang Mountain. To be precise, except for the Chengshuang Cemetery where the eldest son was buried, he wanted all other places in Mangdang Mountain.
Qingyu felt embarrassed at that time. Mangdang Mountain is a large piece of land, stretching for hundreds of miles, almost no smaller than Yongguo. However, this matter has nothing to do with the size of the land, but the effectiveness of the enfeoffment. To put it bluntly, it is not the land of Yongguo. Is it useful to enfeoff it to you?
Wu Sheng's answer was: "If it is not the land of mediocrity this year, then look at next year. If it is not true next year, look at the year after next. If it is not true in three years, I can wait for five years. I believe that it will not be more than ten years at the latest. Mang The mountains of Dang will be brought under the rule of your Majesty!"
After talking about it, Qingyu was very excited and immediately agreed: "I will grant Mangdangshan to your ministers, and I will never receive any gifts from generation to generation!"
At that time, not only Qingyu was excited, but also Yuan Sima, Zhong Situ and other officials were also excited after hearing about it.
Yuan Sima said that as long as the Baiyue barbarians dared to invade the Mangdang Mountain fiefdom, he would lead his troops to attack.
Zhong Situ said that he would find a way to communicate and negotiate with the big heads of the Lianshan and Cangwu tribes to get the two tribes to recognize the fact that Mangdang Mountain was Wu Sheng's fiefdom.
The one who works the hardest is Gong Yin. When he urges the savages to build roads, one thing he always talks about is: "Do you want to become Dr. Shen's subjects? Then hurry up, and hurry up!"
That's right, those who are selected to be promoted to the Mangdang Mountain Kingdom will become the first batch of Wu Sheng's subjects, with Wu Sheng as the main subject, loyal to Wu Sheng, taken care of by Wu Sheng, and receive gifts from Wu Sheng.
This is feudalism.
