Thinking of this, Zhu Renxia had an idea in his mind.
It's time to take this opportunity to deal with this kid, polish his naughty character, and let him return from his lost ways. Otherwise, if he is left alone, this kid will definitely become naughty.
"no!"
Zhu Renxia refused directly, "This golden dragon was accidentally dropped into our Chang'an Town by Tianzun's Taoist friend Yinuo. She will come to pick it up in a few days. You damaged it, how do you want me to explain to Tianzun?"
"Well……"
Jiang Xiaoyu suddenly felt a little discouraged. He lowered his head and drank all the porridge in the bowl in one breath. He begged with his last hope:
"Brother-in-law, my biological brother-in-law, this golden dragon is more than twenty feet long and is estimated to weigh tens of thousands of kilograms. If I cut off a piece the size of my fist, the queen might not even notice."
"The ruby is as huge as a carriage. It's insignificant to cut out a piece the size of a goose egg. At worst, I can just cut it out to the size of an egg. Maybe that lady thought it fell from the sky when she saw it."
"Jiang Xiaoyu, if I say no, I just can't!"
Zhu Renxia slapped the case and rebuked angrily, "One more thing, you must maintain respect for Tianzun's Taoist friends, this empress and that empress, I told you that is [Yinuo Empress]."
"Hmph...you two are breathing from the same nostril!"
Jiang Xiaoyu was so angry that he pushed the bowl away, stood up and left, "Is this how you two take care of me? Wouldn't my parents be heartbroken if they found out about it?"
Jiang Axiu's tears welled up in her eyes and she hurriedly shouted: "Xiaoyu, stop here and leave after eating!"
Jiang Xiaoyu walked out angrily: "I'm going to my father-in-law's house for dinner, so I don't have to look bad at your house."
"Xiaoyu, stop."
Jiang Axiu picked up two pieces of pancakes and trotted out the door, making Zhu Renxia's heart lift to his throat, fearing that Axiu might have fetal force.
"what?"
Jiang Xiaoyu deliberately slowed down his pace, pouting and looking up at the sky.
"It's the time when you're growing taller. You just drink porridge instead of filling your stomach. You take the pancakes home to eat."
Jiang Axiu grabbed her brother's shirt, feeling angry and distressed at the same time.
"I won't eat your Zhu family's food!"
Although he was not even 30% full after two bowls of porridge, not eating fried cakes was Jiang Xiaoyu's last stubbornness.
Jiang Axiu lowered her voice and said: "Since your brother-in-law won't let you touch that golden dragon, don't move it. My sister has saved some money. One day I will ask someone to go to the county to buy you gold jewelry for your third sister."
"That's pretty much it."
Jiang Xiaoyu turned from anger to joy, and then he took the fried cake from his sister's hand with a smile, "You really don't love me, you don't know how to put some meat in the fried cake for me. Forget it, I forgive you..."
Seeing Jiang Xiaoyu jumping out of the door, Jiang Axiu shook her head slightly, "Oh... forget it, he is only a child of thirteen or fourteen. When he grows up, he won't be so naughty."
When Jiang Axiu returned to the restaurant, Zhu Renxia had already eaten and drank.
"My husband, don't be like Xiaoyu. He is still young now, but he will be sensible when he grows up in a few years."
"Haha... I have my own concerns."
Zhu Renxia stood up suddenly and thought to himself, "There is a saying that if you are not a donkey at the age of three, you will be a donkey's colt when you are old." If you don't discipline this brother-in-law in time now, it will be too late to regret it when he grows up to be naughty!
"You don't have to do anything today. I'll go to the warehouse to find Axiu later."
Zhu Renxia walked out of the house with his hands behind his back and walked on the streets of Chang'an Town with his head held high.
It was just getting light now.
The gentle morning sun shone on the earth, and smoke rose from the kitchens in Chang'an Town. Every household began to light a fire to cook, and the sounds of various poultry could be heard from many people's homes.
There are the "bleating" sounds of sheep, the "woofing" sounds of dogs, the "clucking" sounds of chickens, and the "croaking" sounds of ducks...
Just in the spring, Jiangjia Village was still a village where no one had enough to eat, but now many families have bought poultry from Yinma Town and raised them, making Chang'an Town full of vitality.
There are still more than fifty horses in the stables of Chang'an Town. If Liu Gongfu, Fifth and others are included in the horses, the number of horses in Chang'an Town has exceeded one hundred.
To this end, Zhu Renxia specially established an "Animal Husbandry Bureau", with Liu Qiang, who was good at breeding, as the director, leading seven young people to be responsible for raising the horses, mules, and more than a dozen donkeys in the town.
The shops on the commercial street opened early, and there were sellers of tofu, bean sprouts, cabbage, fried dough sticks, and even stalls selling breakfast. All kinds of shouts came and went, making it a lively scene.
"Good morning, mayor!"
"Hello, Mr. Mayor, would you like to come over and have a bowl of tofu puffs to warm yourself up?"
"No, Axiu cooked the porridge and baked the pancakes this morning. I'm already so full that I can't be full anymore!"
"Axiu, this girl, has been diligent since she was a child. I have watched her grow up, and I have never seen this child sleeping in!"
"Haha... The third aunt will persuade her to rest more and work less in the future. Now that she is pregnant, she is not as good as before."
Zhu Renxia greeted the townspeople warmly along the way and strode straight to the west city wall.
Chang'an Town no longer distributes grain, meat and other materials to residents on a per-capita basis. This has made the people give up their mentality of lying down and now they have become hard-working and enterprising, making the whole town full of vitality.
"It seems that our original reform was correct. I am glad that we have found the right direction!"
Zhu Renxia was very happy.
Just when he and Jiang Guanjun led 400 men to Liping City, more than 20 families came to vote, causing the population of Chang'an Town to continue to increase.
Zhao Yun is worthy of being a talented person who has won the imperial examination. In the absence of the fifth person, he handled government affairs in an orderly manner and settled the newly arrived people properly. He was grateful and grateful.
"Zhao Yun is really a talented person. With him and the fifth person in charge of political affairs, it seems that even if the population of our Chang'an Town exceeds 10,000 in the future, we don't have to worry."
Zhu Renxia thought as he walked, and soon came to the west city wall.
I saw that the Gentleman Company who was ordered to guard this golden dragon was changing shifts. Thirty-six woke Minzhuang came to replace those on the night shift and continued to guard it day and night.
"Mayor, are you here to inspect?"
Seeing Zhu Renxia's arrival, Ding Xiao, who had not slept all night, came up to him and saluted with clasped fists: "I personally led thirty-six brothers to guard this golden dragon last night. It was a safe night."
Zhu Renxia snickered secretly in his heart. You may not know that there is a thirteen-year-old thief who has been peeping in the dark for a long time. If he hadn't been heavily guarded, he might have succeeded.
As Zhu Renxia spoke, his thoughts suddenly changed: The huge Chang'an Town now has more than 1,500 people. Are there others waiting for opportunities in the darkness?
"Are the townspeople really so honest and kind? Why don't I take this opportunity to test human nature?"
Zhu Changan muttered to himself and soon had an idea.
"Thank you for your hard work, Captain Ding. Go back to the dormitory and sleep!"
Ding Xiao was still energetic and said: "Mayor, don't worry, I'm used to staying up late. Sometimes I don't sleep for two or three nights. I just take a short nap and I'm still active."
At this moment, the morning sun has risen from the east, and the sunlight shines on the golden dragon, turning it into a bright golden light.
The huge ruby falling on the city wall radiates a dazzling brilliance, which makes people feel relaxed and happy and beautiful.
Zhu Renxia patted Ding Xiao on the shoulder and said: "When you see my third uncle later, ask him to send the Seventh Company to find some coarse linen clothes and wrap this golden dragon. In case the tree is big enough to attract the wind and be seen by outsiders, it will be unnecessary. Trouble."
"yes."
Ding Xiao agreed and turned around to go to the "Zhuang Committee Courtyard".
It won't be long before Battalion Changjiang Champion will host a daily meeting, and the mayor Zhu Renxia will not need to attend.
Zhu Renxia climbed up the city wall and roughly observed the golden dragon, which was more than twenty feet long. After confirming that there was nothing abnormal, he got off the city wall and went straight to the warehouse.
The "daily military meeting" in the courtyard of the Zhuang Committee was held at Si Shi.
Battalion Changjiang Champion presided over the meeting, with Deputy Battalion Commander Jin Zhu sitting in the second seat.
Seven company commanders including the first company commander Ding Xiao, the second company commander Lu Buping, the third company commander Zhu Junjian, the fourth company commander Xu Le, the fifth company commander Chen Daoming, the sixth company commander Hou Jie, and the seventh company commander Ouyang Feng were all present and sat down respectively. both sides.
Jiang Guanjun announced the mission for the next few days: the first company will continue to guard the golden dragon day and night. The seventh company is responsible for finding some coarse linen to wrap up the thick golden chain, hiding the light, so as not to be seen by the passing business travelers and cause an uproar. Chang'an Town caused unnecessary trouble.
In addition to patrolling at night as originally planned, the other companies all went to the school grounds to practice step by step.
Yang Yinglong has conquered Liping, and the wheels of rebellion have been launched. There is no turning back, and the land of Guizhou will soon be plunged into war. Therefore, the people of Chang'an Town must improve their combat capabilities in order to protect themselves in this troubled world. Power.
