Bird Dude Nie Bufan CH 013 A Pitiful Person Looking For Trouble

16 Comments

On a sunny spring day in March, Fragrant Illuminating Garden officially ushered in the marriage……cough, the garden party. The talented young men and beautiful young women gathered in Xishan City all participated.

The three of them dressed up gorg……in a dazzling manner, attire provided by Zhang Junshi, and prepared to go to Fragrant Illuminating Garden.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Li Yi originally planned to stay behind. The reason why he stayed in Chicken Nest Village was because he wanted to avoid this trouble, so naturally he there was no reason to run straight into the trouble he had been avoiding.

Nie Bufan said: “How can I bear to leave you alone and lonely in the village? Go, I will protect you. If you don’t want to be favored by the Tian Nu, then I guarantee you won’t be favored by her.”

Li Yi still shook his head: “No, it is better to do less than to do more. I would meet Li Huai when I go, and it will be difficult to leave then.”

“Li Huai?” Nie Bufan said with a smile, “Don’t worry, since we go together, we naturally have to go back together. We are the three invincible chicken musketeers.”

Zhang Junshi looked away silently.

Li Yi refused unwaveringly in a more determined tone than before: “No.”

Three invincible chicken musketeers, it was too embarrassing to even think about!

Nie Bufan threw an arm over Li Yi’s shoulders and sighed: “As your life savior, I never asked for anything in return. Not only do I provide food and clothing, but I also warm your bed. You don’t need to feel grateful, and can do whatever you want, I wont have any complaints, really. Who let me be such a good person?”

Zhang Jun took a few subtle steps away, and then gave Li Yi a very sympathetic look.

Li Yi’s face turned blue and his body stiff.

“Fine, you can stay behind.” Nie Bufan said generously, “In order not to make you too lonely, I will let the chicken brothers and sisters accompany you.”

Li Yi’s face became even bluer.

Nie Bufan also added: “Don’t be too moved, who let me be such a good person?”

Li Yi looked speechlessly up at the heavens, why did he run into such a guy? Can he die and return back to before?

As you can imagine, Li Yi compromised and succumbed under the power of this self-proclaimed good person and life savior.

But his invitation was still in Li Huai’s hand. If he wanted to enter Fragrant Illuminating Garden, he had to go back to where he resided before first. So the three separated after entering Xishan City, Li Yi went to get the invitation, and Nie and Zhang went ahead to the Garden.

Today outside the gate of Fragrant Illuminating Garden, there was a long queue of horse-drawn carriages, fresh talents and beautiful ladies sprung up like bamboo shoots after the rain.

Nie Bufan looked at the scene with his left eye and at the people with his right eye, a gentle smile on his face as he greeted the people passing by in a friendly manner.

Everyone returned the greetings. Although they were very unfamiliar with Nie Bufan, but Zhang Junshi beside him was very famous, known by everyone as the God of Wealth who can turn stones into gold.

This time the garden party will be held for half a month. Study tables were set up indoors and in the courtyard. On them were chessboards, brush, ink, paper and inkstone, musical instruments, etc. There were boats on the lake, fishing gear on the shore, and poems or puzzles hung on the trees. There was also a platform for everyone to show off their talents and skills.

Everyone can fully show their talents, and at the same time, they have to look for Tian Nu among the many ladies. If they confess to the wrong one then it can’t be blamed on anyone else. Of course, after such a garden party is held, it was very likely to bring about many good pairings.

Nie Bufan and Zhang Junshi walked into a hall where the tables were neatly displayed with brushes, inks, papers, and inkstones. There were rows of blank scrolls hanging on the surrounding walls as well. Many people were already working away at writing poems or drawing paintings, without exception they were all outstanding literary talents.

Nie Bufan’s eyes shined, looking very eager.

Zhang Junshi sweated profusely, remembering the abstract demon-expelling charm he painted during the New Years, and quickly stopped him: “Bufan, let’s go look elsewhere.”

Nie Bufan had yet to respond, when a few people walked over to strike up a conversation so Zhang Junshi had to first split his attention to socializing.

Nie Bufan strolled around on his own, scanning the paintings and calligraphy on the wall one by one, privately commenting in the manner of a master.

“Li Xiaoyao!” Someone yelled from behind.

Nie Bufan didn’t turn his head around, just privately wondering in his heart: There was actually someone named Li Xiaoyao?

“Li Xiaoyao!” The person behind shouted again, this time with obvious anger.

Nie Bufan turned his head and smiled when he saw who it was.

“Li Gongzi, how are you?”

Peacock man Li Huai walked over in a few big steps, simply wishing that he could slap that smiling face, he gritted his teeth and said, “How are you? What do you think?”

Nie Bufan looked him up and down, and nodded: “Face is ruddy, voice loud and resonating, it seems you are in quite good health.”

Li Huai could hardly breath from anger and said sharply, “Don’t pretend to be a fool. Why did you play me that day?”

He had never been so embarrassed in his life, dash and dine meal, he actually ate a dash and dine meal!!

Nie Bufan said calmly: “You kicked my pet, I only reciprocated it back a little. We’re even.”

“How is it even? It’s not even at all!” Li Huai exploded.

Nie Bufan subconsciously looked at the other’s chest, it was evidently very flat (TN: Chinese word for even and flat are the same).

“You actually fooled me for the sake of two chickens!” Li Huai pointed out, “You clearly wanted to make a fool of me!”

“You should look at it this way, being made a fool has its benefits.” Nie Bufan said earnestly, “Think about it, you have been made a fool once. If you encounter similar incidents in the future, you will have experience. How can others trick you anymore?”

What kind of fallacy was this! Being made a fool had become important experience?

Li Huai’s fingers trembled, and he didn’t know what to say anymore.

“Alright, if that’s all.” Nie Bufan patted him on the shoulder, “We both repaid each other. From now on, we will not owe each other anymore. If we meet again, we will just be passerbys. I’ll take my leave now.”

“Wait a second!” Li Huai said fiercely, “You have offended Ben Gongzi (TN: the use of ‘ben’ + whatever is a lofty way of referring to oneself), and you just want to leave like this!”

“Then what do you want?” Nie Bufan looked at him calmly.

“I want you to apologize to Ben Gongzi.”

“Sorry.”

“……”

“Then that’s all, I’m leaving.”

“Stop!” Li Huai said angrily, “You call this apologizing?”

“Isn’t it?” Nie Bufan looked puzzled.

Li Huai took a deep breath and said in an extremely restrained voice: “It seems that you will only pretend to be a fool if I don’t tell you clearly. Then, during the garden party, you will be my servant, you will do whatever Ben Gongzi wants you to do.”

“Are you sure?” Nie Bufan looked at him with extremely calm eyes.

“Of course.” Li Huai lifted his chin and looked at him contemptuously.

Nie Bufan tapped his head with his finger. Just how hard did this person take things that he was thinking about making this decision? Should he agree to it? It seemed a bit unkind to bully a person with a negative IQ……

Nie Bufan in a rare moment developed a trace of kind thoughts.

“What do you say?” Li Huai said proudly, “As long as you serve Ben Gongzi to my satisfaction, Ben Gongzi will let bygones be bygones.”

“Speaking of,” Nie Bufan asked suddenly, “Are you here to participate in the competition?”

“Does this still need to be said?” Li Huai looked at him with disdain.

“Then let’s change the terms. I promise that I won’t cause you trouble during this period, take it as me compensating you for your loss.”

Li Huai sneered: “Do you think just this can compensate?”

This person is really ungrateful for the heart of a good person, he had already decided to let him go, and yet he still had to look for trouble.

“For your sake, I really can’t bear to be your servant.” Nie Bufan showed a look of mercy and compassion, and said sincerely, “If you really are unable to take a lighter view, I can immediately let you lose the chance to win the heart of the beautiful woman.”

Li Huai sneered, “Who do you think you are? Do you have amazing literary talents or outstanding martial arts?”

“Let me teach you one more thing, you don’t need these to undermine others.” Nie Bufan said again in a good mood, “so what do think? If we agree on this, we will go our own ways and not interfere with each other.”

“In your dreams!” Li Huai said fiercely, “I want to see just how you will make me lose the opportunity ‘immediately’?”

Nie Bufan raised his head and sighed, some people truly liked to look for trouble.

“This is your choice, I didn’t force you.” Nie Bufan’s tone was very calm.

“What……what?” Li Huai suddenly had a bad feeling, wondering if it was too late to change his decision? No, he can’t go back on his words, he just won’t believe that this guy really has any special capabilities!

“Li Huai.”

“What?”

“I wheely, wheely wuv you!”

After saying these words, Nie Bufan suddenly hugged Li Huai and aimed at his mouth, heavily pressing a kiss there.

Li Huai’s brain was left with only blank whiteness.

There was dead silence.

Nie Bufan wrapped his arms tight around the other’s waist and gave him a hot French kiss that lasted for a whole minute.

Two men just displayed a great bromantic drama in front of thousands of staring eyes.

When he was finally let go, Li Huai’s whole body was still frozen like a statue. Nie Bufan reached out his finger and poked him, and immediately he turned into dust that dissipated into the air……

Nie Bufan shook his head: “Just like this and you want me to be your servant. Can you ‘receive’ it (TN: a play on the word recieve, as we all know shou (literally meaning receive) is the slang for the one on the recieivng end of BL)?”

Then, he looked around his sureoundings and said domineeringly: “Li Huai is my, Li Xiaoyao’s, man. When the Tian Nu chooses a husband, he doesn’t need to be counted.”

Instantly, Nie Bufan received a lot of amazed sighs and admiring glances.

He tossed his sleeves and walked away cool and confident.

This scene, Zhang Junshi saw from the beginning to the end, first he was curious, and then he secretly mourned Li Huai’s death defying willingness to provoke Nie Bufan, and finally witnessing Nie Bufan kissing Li Huai. At this Zhang Junshi inexplicably felt his chest tightening, and even had the urge to pull them away.

Not only does Zhang Junshi feel this way, but Li Yi, who had been hiding in the corner, also regretted a bit. Why didn’t he come forward earlier? He didn’t care about Li Huai being pranked, nor did he care about the damage to his family’s reputation. The lascivious rumors of these famous families had never been lacking, and the matter was harmless.

What he was unhappy about was that Nie Bufan actually kissed other people, very unhappy!

The consequence of this is that the forbidden love between Li Huai, the youngest son of the Li family, and the mysterious man Li Xiaoyao spread throughout Fragrant Illuminating Garden in a very short period of time.

The people who came to the garden party were all from extraordinary backgrounds from all over the country. You could imagine that Li Huai will become famous across all parts of the country in the near future.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

As for Li Xiaoyao? Changing the sock puppet (TN: internet slang for fake identity) he was yet again a good respectable man.

The next day, Li Huai understandably did not appear again, of course, he might be secretly looking for an assassin……

The sharp blade piercing through Su Mu’s shoulders completely provoked Su Mu’s hidden violence. Just now, Su Mu planned to catch one of them live in order to find the master behind the scenes.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

But now he just wanted to tear up all the people in front of him. In the dark forest, the man in black who stabbed Su Mu once again thrust his blade towards Su Mu’s heart. But this time no god blessed him.

Su Mu stretched out his right hand like lightning and directly grasped the blade, pulling it towards him. The man in black lost his center of gravity, falling forward only to feel a pain in his neck, and then forever departing from this world.

Su Mu carelessly threw away the dead man in black, and turned his focus on his next target.

At that moment, even if he was a professional assassin who had experienced many battles, the man in black felt chills running down his back, and he subconsciously paused. And it was in that instant his head fell to the ground.

When Yun Feiyu arrived, having rowed the boat over, he saw Su Mu standing in a pile of corpses covered in blood, his bloodthirsty eyes causing people to feel as if they have fallen into hell.

Su Mu forced himself to restrain the surging murderous intent inside his body, trembling slightly, and stood motionless.

“Your High……” Yun Feiyu looked at Su Mu not far away, but the instant he opened his mouth he felt a chill on his neck.

Su Mu appeared in front of Yun Feiyu in the blink of an eye, hands that tremored slightly held his neck in a tight grip.

“You Highness……” Yun Feiyu couldn’t breathe well and called out with difficulty.

Su Mu’s hands were tremoring more and more severely, and there was an obvious struggle in his eyes. Suddenly, with a violent palm he pushed Yun Feiyu away, instantly disappearing into the forest.

After a while, loud noises continued to come from the depths of the forest, and gradually the noise became farther and farther away. When Yun Feiyu arrived, he only saw a mess, half of the mountain was destroyed by Su Mu.

Yun Feiyu, who was standing a distance away, felt his heart beat rapidly. He only knew that the Crown Prince was very powerful. He could not be stopped by even thousands of troops and battle horses, but he never expected the Crown Prince to be this powerful. He frowned and thought, maybe even the city wall wouldn’t be able to stand up against such a powerful attack.

Su Mu lay curled up on the ground, and the memories he suppressed, like the flood of a bursting dam, slammed into Su Mu’s mind with a splitting headache.

The six-year-old child had already started to remember things, but the memories in Su Mochi’s mind was not at all beautiful.

His mother was just a low-born court lady. In order to gain prosperity and wealth she continuously climbed up using any means necessary. And when she was mistreated by the Emperor or other court concubines, she vented it out on him and the court ladies and eunuchs.

He was just an unfavored prince. When he had no protection from even his own mother, even a court lady dared to pour footwash water on him.

When Su Mochi was nine years old, his mother died from palace intrigue within the harem, and he was adopted by a concubine who had a grudge against his mother.

After that, Su Mochi lived a life that was worse than pigs and dogs. Beating and scolding was just commonplace. He had slept in the snow, kneeled over pegboards, and even ate with the dogs.

In addition to fighting for favor, women in the harem most often do when they were extremely bored was to torture people in different ways that won’t even leave any visible wounds.

When Su Mochi was thirteen years old, a graceful middle-aged man came to the palace, who claimed to be called Changsheng Sanren (TN: literally long-lived wanderer) and was regarded as a guest of honor by the Emperor.

After seeing Su Mochi by accident, Changsheng Sanren immediately showed his affection for him.

Su Mochi had lived a life of looking at and analyzing people’s expressions and emotions since he was a child, and naturally understood that Changsheng Sanren was not a good person, so he made detours whenever he saw him.

However, Changsheng Sanren had powerful martial arts and Su Mochi could not avoid him. But Changsheng Sanren did not do anything against him, and coupled with the temptation of power, Su Mochi became Changsheng’s disciple.

In the two years since he became the apprentice of Changsheng, Su Mochi had been the happiest in his life.

He even fell in love with a little court lady who took good care of him. But after this incident was known by Changsheng, the ferocious beast finally revealed his claws.

It turned out that Su Mochi’s physique was the rare Yin physique which was an exceptional lu ding (TN: refer to people who are used by male cultivators, both in wuxia and xianxia stories, to increase their martial prowess through taking the Yin to strengthen the Yang). Changsheng killed the court lady and imprisoned Su Mochi.

Su Mochi once again led a hellish life. One year later, Su Mochi finally found a chance to kill Changsheng and seized all his martial arts skills.

After that, Su Mochi became a complete demon, and could no longer do without men.

The reason why he abused men was because he wasn’t attracted to men at all, and he especially hated the men who he had no choice but to sleep with, particularly since he was on the receiving end of it. From beginning to end, he only liked that little palace lady.

This time the memories of the two different souls were finally completely fused together.

Su Mu clearly felt how desperate and sorrowful Su Mochi was after learning about Qingxue’s death, and he couldn’t help calling out the name.

“Qingxue……”

When Yun Feiyu arrived, he saw Su Mochi curled up weakly on the ground, whispering a name he hadn’t heard before. It invoked pity and distress.

“Qingxue……” Su Mochi curled up on the ground in pain, as if he had fallen into a nightmare that he could not get rid of.

Yun Feiyu walked over with a complicated expression.

Suddenly, Su Mu suddenly opened his eyes and shouted: “Get away!”

A cold light flashed in Yun Feiyu’s eyes.

Su Mu propped up his body and sat up, looking at Yun Feiyu not far away, and said, “I can’t control my strength, leave quickly.”

Yun Feiyu was surprised. He had seen Su Mochi who was fierce and violent, he had seen Su Mochi who killed people without blinking, and he had seen Su Mochi who tortured others for fun. But he had never seen Su Mochi having consideration for others like this.

For a while, he felt the novelty and humor.

“Your Highness, let’s go back to the palace.”

“Peng” the fist sized rock was smashed into pieces in Su Mu’s hand and he said angrily: “I don’t need your care, leave quickly.”

The repressed killing intent suddenly turned into sexual desire, and Su Mu secretly cursed at what kind of freaking body he was stuck with, turning into this once a man was in sight.

And what Su Mu thought had been extremely angry words, but in Yun Feiyu’s ears actually had no offensive power. Instead it had a trace of temptation, tempting him to walk over slowly.

The scent of Yun Feiyu gradually occupied Su Mu’s senses. He desperately suppressed the urge to throw the other down onto the floor: “Yun Feiyu, are you looking for death! Go away!”

“Your Highness, are you uncomfortable?” Yun Feiyu looked at him deeply.

Su Mu suddenly snapped up his head and pushed him away, turning around he quickly flew passed the treetops and disappeared into the night.

Yun Feiyu looked deeply at the direction where Su Mu disappeared.

Most of the people in the Crown Prince’s Palace were already asleep, so when Su Mu entered he didn’t alarm anyone.

Huang Xuan, who was sleeping, suddenly sat up, a strong smell of blood reaching him from the darkness. Huang Xuan was about to get up but was suddenly thrown back onto the bed.

“Your Highness, are you injured?” Huang Xuan asked in shock.

Huang Xuan, who was thinking of getting up, was pressed back down by Su Mu. He said: “Small injuries, it’s not a problem.”

After saying so, the room sounded with all kinds of noises that would cause one to blush deeply.

Early the next morning, Su Mu arrived at the morning assembly with a strip of cloth tied to his shoulder.

Everyone was shocked into gasps.

The Crown Prince was injured! The Crown Prince was actually injured! The Crown Prince can be injured too?!

Everyone was shocked. Obviously, the officials were not surprised by the assassination against Su Mu. From the shock of hearing the news of the assassination of the Crown Prince for the first time, to being accustomed to the whole matter after several times happening.

The craziest time was when the Crown Prince encountered more than a dozen waves of assassins a day, but that was all two years ago. In the end, none of the assassins made it back alive. Only then did the assassinations lessened.

They haven’t even heard any news of attacks against the Crown Prince in recent months.

Everyone waited fearful and trembling to bear the Crown Prince’s fury.

Su Mu was indeed very angry and immediately ordered the sealing of the entire capital to search for suspicious persons throughout the city.

Su Mu did not wish to kill innocent people, but he was not the holy father. When his life was threatened, he felt that he should reciprocate, no matter who the other party was.

The newly built dragon chair was gilded, and Su Mu felt it was much more comfortable to sit on.

After the officials routinely reported their affairs, Peng Han, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, stepped forward and said: “Your Highness, the official examination will be in a month. Please appoint the chief and deputy examiners.”

Su Mu nodded: “Peng Han, you are the main examiner, Yun Jing, you are the deputy examiner.”

“Thank you Your Highness.”

“Wang Wenze.” Su Mu called.

Wang Wenze stepped forward and responded: “Chen is here.”

“Ben Gong order you to go to Yishan to construct a weaponry plant. You will be the supervisor, and the Ministry of Revenue will allocate one million taels. Besides……” After Su Mu finished making successive orders, he felt like an old mother that needed to take care of everything personally.

After retiring from the court, Su Mu made his way busily to the Imperial Study Room to review the memorials.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Look, look, what is all of this. Li Shilang’s (TN: assistant minister) manner is not correct, lingering in the brothel every night; Wu Yushi (TN: imperial censor) does not adhere to filial piety, driving his old parents back to the countryside. Lord Lu is diligent and loving towards the people and should be promoted……

Su Mu’s head was about to explode from looking at all these trivial matters.

Luohuang City, County Residence

Shangguan Hao held a white letter in silence.

When the other people in the study saw that Shangguan Hao hadn’t said a word for a long time, they stood up anxiously and asked, “General, what did the beast Su Mochi write?”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Shangguan Hao raised his head and said, “Actually, I don’t know?”

“Ah?!” The questioner was dumbfounded.

Shangguan Hao handed him the letter, and then this military officer instantly became furious. “What exactly does Su Mochi mean? He doesn’t put us in his eyes, actually humiliating us like this!”

Other people went up and took a look, and they were immediately conflicted.

On the snow-white paper, the messy ink splotches were twisted this way and that way like ghost symbols. No one could understand what was written. It was even worse than what a three-year-old kid could write.

An old gentleman shook his head in deep lament and said: “The Emperor is muddleheaded and incompetent, the Crown Prince is uneducated, the kingdom in their hands will sooner or later be conquered by the neighboring countries. General Shangguan we have just gained a victory, it is the perfect timing to go on the offensive! As long as we occupy Luohuang City and the surrounding cities and cut off the supply of food, the imperial city will inevitably be thrown in upheaval. It is the perfect opportunity to capture and kill the dog Emperor and Crown Prince!”

“The people’s popular sentiment in the imperial city had long been in upheaval, but Su Mochi is still perfectly unharmed and intact. Why is this?”

Shangguan Hao glanced around and seeing no one answered, he then said: “Because of his high martial arts, and in order to continue the unscrupulous corruption and perverting of the law, the traitorous officials in the imperial court must set up a shield and protect him as well. Besides, even if we occupy the imperial city, I won’t be able to catch Su Mochi or kill him. When that happens, and he is driven into a corner he will kill us all one by one, and still he will be able to live well. Su Mochi sent a messenger to spread the word if we dared to seize other cities, he will slaughter Luohuang City.”

“Su Mochi, that beast! Then should we just watch the displacement and starvation of the people of Qing kingdom?”

Shangguan Hao clenched his fists tightly, and stared into the distance, saying decisively: “No, I will hang the heads of the dog Emperor and Crown Prince at the entrance of the market to pay tribute to all those who died in grievance because of their actions.”

Shangguan Hao revealed a bloodthirsty smile and said: “It won’t be long before this day will come.”

After seeing Shangguan Hao’s terrifying smile, everyone suddenly felt fear.

Realizing his loss in composure, Shangguan Hao immediately hid his emotions and said to those sitting around him: “You don’t need to worry, the Lord Master has set everything up. It won’t take long before we can seize the capital and capture the dog Emperor and Crown Prince alive. All we have to do now is to wait.”

Su Mu knew that his goal was achieved after hearing from the messenger.

At the same time, Chen Wei, the general who volunteered to lead the army during morning assembly, offended Su Mochi somehow, and all his family members were secretly executed, and Chen Wei himself had disappeared.

Three months later, Chen Wei, who took 50,000 soldiers and fled overnight, occupied the northern Bailu County and announced his rebellion of the imperial court.

In this way, Qing kingdom can be said to be surrounded on all sides and in a dangerous state, the Su royal family about to collapse at any time.

After knowing of the incident, the Crown Prince flew into a rage and violently killed more than a dozen people in the Crown Prince’s Palace, and violently demolished half of it before quelling his anger. Among these dozen people included the Crown Prince’s royal bodyguard Han Yi.

Crown Prince’s Palace, Feiyu Pavilion

Qin Ye, who had received the news, threw back his head and laughed: “Hahaha, retribution! Fortunately, I am not dead. You actually have today, Su Mochi. Let me see how long you can survive the siege from all directions in the south, east, north and west.”

Yun Feiyu, who was attending to the orchids, listened to Qin Ye’s crazy laughter and said nothing, no emotions could be seen in his dark eyes.

At the same time, in the tall and majestic palace located in the Shi kingdom southwest of the Qing kingdom, a handsome but cold and harsh looking man recieved news. Suddenly the look in his eyes became incomparably intimidating, and slowly his thin lips lifted up in a determined smile.

Crown Prince’s Palace

Han Yang stood respectfully next the debris that had once been the Crown Prince’s personal quarters. He resisted the emotions surging in his heart, and said in as calm a voice as much as possible: “Your Highness, a letter from Han Yi.”

Receiving the letter from Han Yang and opening it, only two words appeared, already settled.

After seeing it, Su Mu picked up a brush and wrote a few words before putting it in the envelope.

Then Su Mu disguised himself and with two small paper bags, came to the largest trading company in the seven kingdoms, Xingluo trading company.

Su Mu appeared directly in the person in charge’s room in the middle of the night.

Therefore, as soon as Yan Ming opened the door, he saw a veiled noble Gongzi sitting in a chair waiting for him. Yan Ming didn’t yell or run, instead he closed the door and walked up to Su Mu with a smiling face and said: “Don’t know why Gongzi has come to my humble house?”

Su Mu privately nodded his head, his his ability to keep calm was really good.

Su Mu said: “Naturally to discuss business.”

Yan Ming asked with a smile: “Don’t know what business Gongzi wants to discuss with me?”

“This.” Su Mu pointed to the two paper bags on the table.

A square-shaped plastered object and a pile of paper that is thin enough to transmit light?

“Don’t know what these two things are? And what they are used for?” Yan Ming asked.

“This is called laundry soap, this is toilet paper, which is used when going to the toilet.” Su Mu introduced.

Although it was a ripoff product that was tens of thousands of miles worse than the modern versions, it was still hard to come by in this time and space.

Yan Ming’s eyes brightened, and the businessman’s intuition made him feel that these two things will be profitable.

“Don’t know how to use this laundry soap? And what is the effect?”

Su Mu said: “Just try it and you will know.”

Two bowls of water and greased cloth that had been prepared long ago were taken out by Shi Nuo, another bodyguard who had been standing next to Su Mu.

According to Su Mu’s instructions, Shi Nuo dipped the dirty cloth in the water, and then put on laundry soap.

When a piece of clean cloth was presented to Yan Ming, Yan Ming’s eyes suddenly became brighter, and he asked: “Can it be mass-produced and how much is the price?”

Su Mu said: “It can’t be mass-produced, 50 coins for one piece.”

“How about a three-to-seven split? Gongzi.” Yan Ming secretly calculated out how to obtain greater benefits, waiting for Su Mu to make a counteroffer.

However, he did not expect that Su Mu directly agreed, but hoped the Xingluo trading company keep jis information secret. Yan Ming also requested refund for invalid products and exclusive cooperation, which Su Mu also agreed.

At the Crown Prince’s Palace, Su Mu just arrived at the entrance of his private quarters when he smelled a faint orchid fragrance, but the refreshing orchid fragrance did not calm Su Mu’s mind.

Yun Feiyu, what was he doing here?

Like the appearance of a fresh orchid after rain, it seemed incompatible with the ostentatious magnificence of the Crown Prince’s Palace.

He should be a hermit in the mountains, a mysterious person who is knowledgeable of important matters of kingdoms and possessed ability to set the world to rights, and not a small male companion in the harem.

Su Mu felt unfortunate for Yun Feiyu, but he dare not let him go. Once such a person like him was free, it would be like a dragon entering the sea, able to call the wind and call the rain (TN: expression for stirring up trouble).

He also couldn’t bear to kill him, didn’t want to kill him, so he could only slowly conquer him. What’s more, he may not be able to kill him anyway.

“Why are you here?” Su Mu walked over and asked.

“I heard that Your Highness is in a bad mood, so specially here to invite Your Highness to go boating on Yuping Lake.” When Yun Feiyu’s eyes are full of you, most people would never resist his gentle offense.

Su Mu smiled and said, “Alright.” He wanted to see what he was going to do.

At this time, it was late summer and early autumn, and the residual heat in the imperial city had not yet receded, but here it was very cool.

Under the soft starlight, a small boat quietly floated on the lake. The lake water was like a mirror reflecting the sky and stars. The beautiful faces of the two under the moonlight made this picture more perfect.

The ethereal sound of the qin (TN: 7 string plucked instrument) made people involuntarily calm, and appreciate the beauty of nature and the sound of the qin.

Sitting at the bow of the ship, Su Mu looked at the stars in the sky, the silhouette of the mountains, while listening to the beautiful qin sounds, his eyes gradually blurred. Truly, it would be wonderful if time could stop here.

It’s just that no matter how beautiful the qin sound was, the song will still end.

Yun Feiyu quietly looked at Su Mu’s perfect profile. The starlight coated him with a soft brilliance, as beautiful as a night elf.

How can a person change so much in just a few months? It was obviously the same person with the same face, but it made others feel that they were completely different people.

Are you really the Crown Prince? Yun Feiyu looked at Su Mu quietly, suddenly his heart beat faster. He hurriedly pressed down the emotion sprouting in his heart, and the look in his eyes deepened once again.

He looked at the stars and said, “These stars are so beautiful, don’t know if the gods and immortals in the sky are truly carefree.”

Su Mu said without turning his head: “If some things are too close, you will find his original ugly face. These stars shine because they are burning.”

Yun Feiyu looked at him with an expression of unexpectedness and said: “How does Your Highness know this?”

Su Mu was about to say something when he caught a glimpse of something moving on the shore, and then a sharp arrow flew through the air towards them.

A sharp cold light flashed in his eyes, and Su Mu’s sleeves flicked, and the short arrow turned into powder in front of Su Mu, scattering into the lake.

“Stay on the boat.” After saying so Su Mu’s foot tapped the boat lightly and appeared on the shore of the lake in the blink of an eye.

Soon, fierce fighting came from the woods.

Eight people in black blocked Su Mu’s retreat from eight directions. Six people in black hindered Su Mu, while the other two focused on Su Mu’s vital points and continued to attack.

A cold light flashed in Su Mu’s eyes, and he locked on a target and launched a fierce attack, in just a moment, the man in black lost ground and was sent flying by Su Mu. Slowly Su Mu made more and more fierce shots, and the killing intent in his eyes became heavier.

After sending another one flying, Su Mu frowned. He sensed that he was losing control. If he didn’t stop now, once he lost control completely he won’t be able to stop at all without killing enough people.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Just as Su Mu was about to get rid of these people quickly, there was a momentary blankness that struck him.

When Su Mu came back to his senses, a cold sharp blade had already penetrated his shoulder.

Bird Dude Nie Bufan CH 012 Hero

13 Comments

It was the spring season again.

Nie Bufan leaned on the second floor railing of the restaurant, watching the carriages passing by on the street, and exclaimed: “There are so many rich people!”

The news of the arrival of the Tian Nu had been circulating since last year. Young talents from all over the country have gathered in Xishan City. Not only men, but also even some young ladies have come all the way, in order to find a good marriage. Xishan City it seemed, had become a holy place for marriage hunting.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Nie Bufan turned towards Zhang Junshi and Li Yi and said: “The Tian Nu has not shown up yet, how does she plan to choose her husband?”

Zhang Junshi replied: “The Mistress of Divining Heaven Palace have sent people to buy a manor in Xishan City and renamed it ‘Fragrant Illuminating Garden’. Soon, young talents and young ladies of noble birth will be invited to participate in the garden party. The young ladies will be able to receive an invitation as long as they have a certain family status. But there are only forty-nine invitations for the young men. Forty-nine Jadeites sent by the tian nu will first do the screening, only the ones suitable will be given one of the 49 invitations.”

“Screening? How to screen?” Nie Bufan looked curious.

“It’s hard to say, at least you have to have a good impression on the Jadeite, looks and mannerisms are prerequisites.”

Nie Bufan looked at Zhang Junshi, then at Li Yi, and nodded: “Well, the three of us at least meet this prerequisite.”

Zhang Junshi shook his head amusedly, and continued: “Forty-nine Jadeites each have an invitation card on them. They will choose people according to their own preferences. Sometimes they just chat with you briefly, sometimes they will give a difficult problem that you must solve. But there are also several people who don’t need to go through this much trouble to get an invitation, such as the royal family members.”

“What about you two?” Nie Bufan looked at them and asked, “Have you figured out how to get the invitation?”

“I already have one.” Zhang Junshi smiled.

“How did you get it?” Nie Bufan asked in surprise. As far as he knew, Zhang Junshi was just a merchant.

Zhang Junshi said casually: “I sold Fragrant Illuminating Garden to the Mistress of Divining Heaven Palace.”

“So that’s it.” Nie Bufan looked at Li Yi, “What about Li Fourth?”

Li Yi didn’t answer, just drank his tea slowly.

Zhang Junshi replied for him: “With brother Li’s background, I believe he already has one.”

“What is the background of Li Fourth, don’t tell me it’s the Emperor’s relative?”

“No.” Li Yi said lightly, “Just a family of officials.”

Just a family of officials? The corner of Zhang Junshi’s mouth twitched. Since the founding of the country, the Li family had been granted hereditary nobility. And from the Li family came three prime ministers, two generals, four Shangshu, and the number of officials under the fifth rank was even more uncountable. The family of Li was well-known for its loyalty and talent, surviving for hundreds of years and was the most longstanding evergreen tree in the imperial court. (TN: Shangshu=high official)

Nie Bufan did not delve into Li Yi’s identity. He frowned and thought for a while, then said in a conflicted manner: “You all have one so I can’t fall behind.”

“Do you also want to find a Jadeite for an invitation?”

“Maybe.” Nie Bufan tapped his forehead with a finger, and said seriously, “I suddenly thought that this kind of invitation could also be stolen, right?”

“Steal?” Zhang Junshi disagreed, “Do you know why there is only one invitation card for every Jadeite? Because each invitation card is unique and the stolen invitation card will be invalidated. Additionally, the person who steals the invitation card will also be ineligible to attend.”

“Oh?” Nie Bufan said with a strange expression, “In this case, I can steal an invitation first, and then replace it with someone else’s, this way I can get rid of a competitor without amyone being the wiser.”

How darkly evil are you?

Zhang Junshi and Li Yi were both speechless.

“Even simpler, I can steal directly from a person who got the invitation!”

“You better stop such troublemaking strand of thought.” Zhang Junshi rubbed his forehead and said, “If you really want to go, I will help you find a way.”

Nie Bufan shook his head and tutted, “If I use your help, doesn’t it seem that I am too incompetent?”

“Then what do you want to do?” Zhang Junshi rolled his eyes, “Let me first remind you that you cannot use improper means.”

“Ah-la~, am I such a person?” Nie Bufan waved his hand.

Zhang and Li gave him a slanted 60 degree angle look of contempt.

“Can anyone tell me where I can find a Jadeite?”

“Look, there is one right there.” Zhang Junshi pointed to a place not far away from them.

Nie Bufan leaned forward and saw a seventeen or eighteen year old girl walking towards this side. She was dressed in a light blue and silver-rimmed robe. Her hair was simply tied into a ponytail without any accessories, looking very refreshing and neat. Behind her, there were dozens of people not far away, probably the servants of some Gongzi and young masters, planning to see where this Jadeite will settle down so that they could report back to their master and make a visit.

Nie Bufan raised his hand and shouted, “Lady Jadeite, look over here, do you want to have a meal with us and have a chat?”

This yelling voice caused the surrounding people to suddenly fall into silence.

Zhang Junshi covered his face. He had never seen anyone speak this way to a Jadeite, careless and unruly.

Everyone downstairs were also contemptuous of this hothead in their hearts. If this can even attract a Jadeite then what are they doing following with such difficulty?

But what caused everyone to be stunned was that the Jadeite actually walked towards the restaurant and went up to the second floor.

Everyone collectively turned into statues.

“Milady, please sit down.” Nie Bufan greeted the Jadeite, smiling as he pulled out a chair for her.

The Jadeite’s gaze swept across the three people present and was secretly impressed. One of them was graceful and elegant, one was stoic and unflustered, and the third was like a spring breeze, all of them were superior in manner and aura.

“How may I refer to milady?” Nie Bufan asked politely.

“Jadeites have no name, you can just call me Nineteen. And how may I refer to the three Gongzi here?”

“Humbly yours, Nie Bufan.” Nie Bufan cupped his hands in greeting.

“Zhang Junshi.”

“Li Yi.”

Jadeite Nineteen raised her eyebrows, it was the first time she heard such a simple introduction. However, just looking at the appearance and manners of these three people, they must come from good backgrounds.

“Don’t know which one of you want the invitation card in Nineteen’s hand?” Nineteen asked directly.

“Me.” Nie Bufan raised his hand excitedly.

Nineteen smiled at him: “Then how does Gongzi want to win it?”

Nie Bufan calmly replied: “Literary or martial arts, it is according to the milady’s wishes.”

As soon as these words came out, both Zhang and Li had on weird expressions.

“I didn’t expect Gongzi to be well versed in literary and military matters.” Nineteen however did not catch the looks of the other two people, and just continued, “In that case, I won’t test Gongzi’s literary and martial talent, instead I will test Gongzi on something else.”

“Please speak.” Nie Bufan was calm and composed.

“I passed the market just now and accidentally lost my handkerchief. I wonder if Gongzi can find it for me within the burning of a stick of incense?”

“Don’t know what milady’s handkerchief look like?”

“White silk with two plum blossoms embroidered on one corner.”

“If I find it, does that mean I will win the invitation?”

“If I am satisfied.”

“Okay, I will definitely help milady find it.” Nie Bufan agreed.

Nineteen was quite surprised, the other seemed confident, looking for one lost handkerchief was like finding a needle in a haystack. Why was he so sure about finding it?

Nie Bufan stood up, clapped his hands, and immediately from the corner two roosters walked out. One of them was naturally the loyal Lady Flower, and the other was a new member of Chicken Nest Village, the beautiful as a painting ‘Hero’. It had colorful feathers and was the most gorgeous and proud brother among all the chickens. Recently, because of Hero’s bad mood, Nie Bufan decided to take it out for a walk to avoid depression setting in and causing trouble for everyone.

Nineteen looked stunned when she saw two roosters suddenly appear in the room, especially when seeing that colorful fellow. A trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she couldn’t help asking: “This is?”

“My bodyguards.” Nie Bufan replied quite proudly.

“Oh, it’s……it’s quite chic.” It took a long while for Nineteen to come up with such a word.

“If you can please wait, Lady Nineteen, I will be back soon. Zhang Third Gongzi and Li Fourth Gongzi, please entertain Lady Nineteen. If I can’t find anyone when I come back, I will have Pokey accompany you when you sleep.” Pokey was a hedgehog chicken, its entire body of feathers were hard and sharp, and will even give off a peculiar smell. These two people will absolutely not be able to stand it.

Sure enough, both Zhang and Li had disgusted expressions on their faces.

After saying this, Nie Bufan led the two chickens out of the room.

After going out, Nie Bufan knelt down and whispered, “Did you smell it carefully?”

Lady Flower puffed up his chest with a natural self-confident look.

“Good, you lead Hero to find it together. The sooner the better, if you are picked up by someone, you are allowed to use force.”

Lady Flower clucked proudly, raised his head, sniffed the air, and then rushed off with Hero.

Nie Bufan waved his hand at their backs and exhaled as if some big issue was taken care of, then turned around and found a noodle stall, ordered a bowl of spring noodles, and ate it leisurely.

There was no choice, there wasn’t any time to eat the food just now, he was too hungry.

Just after eating two bowls of noodles, Lady Flower and Hero ran back, holding something in his beak. Nie Bufan took it over and frowned, “It’s not this one, but the one embroidered with plum blossoms, do you know plum blossom?”

He drew a picture on the floor with chopsticks. Lady Flower tilted his head to look, then nodded cautiously, and ran off again.

After a while, they once again appeared with another piece. This time the plum blossoms were there, but it was not white.

So the search continued.

The third time, Lady Flower actually brought back a bra……

After going back and forth several times, finally the target was found.

White silk handkerchief, with two plum blossoms embroidered on one corner, this was it!

Nie Bufan smiled widely, the time was just right.

He returned to the restaurant triumphantly and handed the handkerchief to Nineteen.

Nineteen’s expression when she got the handkerchief was very strange, blue and white in the face. After a while she asked, “Where did Gongzi find it?”

“The market.”

Nineteen took a deep breath, her fingers trembled a bit, she hadn’t lost the handkerchief at all, this handkerchief should have been in her room! The reason she used the excuse of losing her handkerchief was just to test the other’s reaction.

Who knew that he could truly find the handkerchief? Doesn’t this mean that he had sneaked into her room?

How vile!

She had always been cautious when she went out, and Divining Heaven Palace’s clothes were also changed in other places. At present, few people knew where she lived, even if they do know, they would not trespass.

What is the matter with this person in front of her?

Did he really think he can pass by taking a handkerchief from her room? What delusion!

“What’s the matter?” Nie Bufan asked her after seeing her strange expression, “Is there something wrong? Isn’t this your handkerchief?”

“This is mine.” Nineteen gritted her teeth.

“That’s good.” Nie Bufan said with a smile, “So, can I get the invitation card?”

In your dreams! Nineteen yelled in her heart, but said with a fake smile on her face: “Sorry, you didn’t pass.”

“Why?” Nie Bufan said unhappily, “Didn’t I find the handkerchief for you?”

“Hmph, just where you found it, you know it in your own heart, why should I say more?”

“I don’t know!” Nie Bufan retorted without hesitation, “Could the place where you dropped your handkerchief be somewhere unsightly?”

“Don’t pretend to be confused!” Nineteen threw out her previous image of a refined lady, and said angrily, “This handkerchief had never been lost!”

Nie Bufan was silent for a while, then suddenly said, “So, your handkerchief had been in your room all this time?”

“What do you think?” Nineteen exclaimed angrily.

“I truly didn’t know this. I thought it was picked up by someone else. Who knew that that was your room?”

“You dare to lie! If you hadn’t known where I was living originally, how could you find what I wanted so quickly despite having no clues?”

“You look down on me too much, I never lie!” Nie Bufan replied confidently, as if he was in the right and with justice on his side.

Lies! Both Zhang and Li, who had been watching from the side, at the same time thought this in their hearts.

“Knowing others, knowing their face but not knowing the heart, you say you don’t lie then you don’t lie?”

“Then what do you want to do?” Nie Bufan said in a righteous manner, “I will never allow others to insult my integrity casually.”

What is Nie Bufan’s integrity like? Both Zhang and Li slandered silently.

Nineteen’s face reddened and said fiercely: “If you want to prove your innocence, unless your chicken can speak! Otherwise I will never give you an invitation.”

“Are you sure? Have the chicken speak?” Nie Bufan revealed a deep and profound expression.

“Yes!” Nineteen pointed at the two chickens on the ground, “If you are really capable, let them testify for you.”

Nie Bufan picked up Hero and said with melancholy: “Your master is questioned by others, what do you think should be done?”

Hero’s eyes peered around, looking as innocent as if he didn’t understand.

Nineteen sneered and said, “Alright, don’t pretend to be pitiful. I’ve lost too much time here, so I won’t keep you company anymore.”

Saying so, she turned around and was about to leave. At that moment, a sharp and weird voice suddenly came from behind: “Milady, walk slowly.”

Nineteen’s figure paused, turning her head, she saw the colorful chicken standing on the arm of the chair, raising his head and saying: “I am Hero, hello milady.”

Nineteen’s mouth opened and closed pointing to Hero and stuttered: “You are talking.”

Hero spread his wings, clucked a few times, and said, “Cheer up, milady, do you need help?”

This time, not only was Nineteen in a daze, even Zhang Junshi and Li Yi were stiff as if they were struck by lightning.

After a while, Nineteen left the room in a daze, while Nie Bufan took the invitation and turned it over with interest.

Zhang Junshi and Li Yi looked at each other and couldn’t help but ask about the talking chicken.

Nie Bufan glanced at them contemptuously: “You have been in Chicken Nest Village for so long, but your knowledge of Chicken Nest Village is still so superficial?”

The two were silent.

“In Chicken Nest Village, there is only the unimaginable, never the impossible. Anything is possible so long as you can imagine it.”

Indeed, chickens can even talk, what else can’t be impossible?

At this time, they heard Nie Bufan mutter again: “If I put this invitation card out for auction, how much money can I make?”

Both Zhang and Li suddenly sympathized with Nineteen and her master……

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

On the other side, when Nineteen returned to her residence, she found that the room was in a mess. The cabinets and dressers had been turned over. The clothes and silk handkerchiefs were scattered all over the place. Occasionally there were some chicken feathers interspersed with several distinctive claw prints. What’s more maddening was her bra, bra, bra!

Damn Nie Bufan! Don’t let her meet him again!

The Cruel Tyrant

The Cruel Tyrant CH 005 Seize and Confiscate

7 Comments

After rejecting Yun Feiyu’s villa, he saw several other locations, and finally chose a mountain villa with an open terrain that can accommodate four or five hundred people.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Speaking of the origin of this villa, Su Mu was quite speechless. The place was built by a wealthy businessman from the south, but he just finished building only to come upon Su Mochi beginning his havoc causing ways. In the beginning, the wealthy businessmen could persist for the money.

But three years ago, after Su Mochi’s massacre of the nine cities, this wealthy businessman was frightened into a stroke and ran away to the neighboring Jin kingdom with his family overnight. Since then, he did not dare to step into the Qing kingdom.

And as for his villa, it was put up for sale. It’s just that what rich person would run to Su Mochi’s territory to buy a house!

The house had been empty for three years and cannot be lived in for the time being. Su Mu ordered people to clean the house and hired a few commoners who could make rough paper. Of course, their families would live with them in the villa.

Half a month later, there were already more than 100 people in the villa, most of whom were slaves and belonging to Su Mu’s private property.

Su Mu sat on the chair of Chinese cedar, behind him was Han Yi and Han Yang who were dressed in plain clothes but still not at all lacking in their out of the ordinary aura. Su Mu’ demeanor was also even more unspeakably noble.

The slaves and craftsmen stood in the courtyard waiting for instruction, some of them couldn’t help but peek at Su Mu, and then realized that they couldn’t move their eyes.

That little skin is so tender! That little mouth is so attractive! Those little eyes are so bright……

Of course these were the descriptions by a certain infatuated commoner who lacked vocabulary.

Most people just think that Su Mu’s handsomeness was out of the ordinary, knowing just from a glance that he was a dragon or phoenix among men. Privately they couldn’t help but look forward to the coming days. After all, the wages negotiated at the beginning were not low.

A sharp gaze swept across the crowd, and those who were peeking at Su Mu suddenly startled and hurriedly lowered their heads to listen to the instructions.

Of course, there was no need for Su Mu to come in person to give out instructions, he just came to have them recognize their furture master. And also to take care of the matter of soap, toilet paper and movable type printing.

After Han Yi made threats and promises, Su Mu brought three old men who could made coarse paper to the main hall.

After seeing Su Mu sitting down, the three of them bowed lowly and said: “Don’t know what orders Gongzi have for the three of us.”

Su Mu looked at the three elderly men who were visibly nervous and said with a smile, “The three of you don’t have to be so formal, please sit down.”

The old man hurriedly said: “How can this be done? This old man, I can just stand up. If you have any orders, please just let us know.”

Su Mu did not force the matter, putting down the tea cup, he said: “It is like this, I want the three of you to help me make a paper that is as white as snow, soft as silk, thin as gauze, and melts in water.”

“This……” The three old men looked at each other. As thin as gauze and melts when in water. What can this paper be used for, it would definitely be impossible to write on!

An old man in his early fifties stepped forward and said: “Don’t know what Gongzi wants this kind of paper for. Forgive this old man for saying so but this kind of paper that can neither write nor be used to paste windows, no one will be willing to buy. Also how can paper be white ike snow, soft as silk, thin as gauze, and melts in water?”

Su Mu said: “How it can be made, I don’t know, but I know it can definitely be done. Just follow the usual steps, but slowly make changes and improvements, this requires the three of you to spend more energy.”

“Gongzi is joking, this is originally what we should be doing.”

After the three old men left, Su Mu called in two other people.

“Master.” These were two middle-aged men who were demoted to slaves for offending officials, and both were literate.

Su Mu said: “I need two people to use grass dust and grease to make things that can wash clothes stains, how much grease and grass dust should be used, you two slowly experiment. You can also try to add other things.”

The two looked at each other, and then replied in unison: “Yes.”

After calling in the third wave of craftsmen to tell them how to make movable type printing, the sky was already dark.

After Su Mu left a dew dozens of guards to guard Qingye Villa, he went back home.

The outskirts of the city had particularly bad roads, causing Su Mu to become dizzy while sitting in the carriage, thinking to himself that he must quickly repair the roads.

But, he, had, no, money!

Su Mu felt that he was going crazy from being poor, so Su Mu who had been pretending to be a statue during morning assembly after it was resumed, felt that he should act.

The next day, after all officials had reported their official affairs, Su Mu who had not spoken in the hall for a month, suddenly smiled.

All the officials suddenly got a bad feeling.

Sure enough, the Crown Prince’s voice immediately sounded: “The whole of Qing kingdom, with a territory of hundreds of thousands of miles, but the treasury has only a mere five hundred thousand taels.” Su Mu paused, an expression half angry half amused on his face.

The officials below felt like their hearts were swinging up and down.

Su Mu beckoned to behind him and took a memorial from the old eunuch.

Su Mu casually opened the memorial, and sneered: “Using swallow’s nest soup to rinse mouth, ginseng decoction to soak feet, gold to pave the floors, white jade to construct tables……”

Along with each word recited by Su Mu, the officials’ faces became even more pale. For so many years, the Emperor had no interest in political affairs, spending whole days in the harem. The Crown Prince also only knew how to kill people and snatch men, disregarding of everything else. So these officials vigorously embezzled money to the best of their ability. Who knew that the Crown Prince would suddenly change his behavior, seeming to make better efforts.

And everyone knew who was mentioned in the memorial.

Su Mu closed the memorial, and stared at a certain official with sharp eyes, throwing the memorial to the floor on the spot, and said angrily: “Lord Zhang, Zhang Fu’an, you are truly rich!”

Zhang Fu’an knelt on the ground with a plop, howling and crying: “Your Highness, please spare me, Your Highness, please spare me……!” Zhang Fu’an knocked his head on the ground, not daring to stop even after he began bleeding from his forehead.

“Your Highness, please spare me, Your Highness, please spare me……!”

Su Mu’s eyes flashed with an icy light, and he coldly snorted: “You corrupt the law, selling and buying official titles and treat human life as grass yet you want Ben Gong to spare you?”

Wasn’t this model set by the Emperor and you? You promoted Liu Yuanhua for the sake of Liu Xi, and for Ye Qingfeng, you massacred hundreds in Xuefeng Villa!

Of course, the officials only dared to complain silently in their hearts, not daring to show the least bit of it on their faces.

Zhang Fu’an’s face was ashy grey and his whole body lost feeling. “Your Highness, chen, chen……”

A faint cold light flashed in Su Mu’s eyes, and he sternly called out: “Guards, take Zhang Fu’an away to be executed!”

The pleads and screams from outside the great hall doors came to an abrupt halt, and the officials in the Taihe Hall all broke out in a cold sweat, for fear that it would be their turn next.

Su Mu’s gaze swept the group of officials who appeared as obedient as little rabbits, and his mood became slightly happier. After a while of silence, he called out: “The Ministry of Justice……”

Before Su Mu’s words had yet to finish, the Taihe Hall began to eagerly echo with roof shaking screams.

“Your, Royal, Highness, this, old, chen, have, been, wronged!!!”

The harsh sound penetrated Su Mu’s ears, causing him to frown uncomfortably, and he shouted, “Shut up.”

Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice was like a duck pinched by the neck, his screams abruptly stopping.

Su Mu glanced at Chen Xurong, who was constantly wiping at sweat and shaking like a sieve. He frowned and said: “What are you shaking for? Ben Gong only wanted you to seize and confiscate Zhang Fu’an’s family property for the kingdom’s treasury.”

“Your, Your Highness……” Chen Xurong was overjoyed and promised that Zhang Fu’an’s estate would be seized and confiscated cleanly and completely, not even the newly born mice who haven’t even opened their eyes will be exempted.

Su Mu nodded with satisfaction, and slowly said: “The monarch is like a boat, the people are like water, and the water can carry and overturn the boat. Recently, 100,000 people are displaced by the Xijiang River flooding. Ben Gong’s heart feel anxious on their behalf but the treasury is empty and unable to provide disaster relief. In order to set an example, Ben Gong will donate 300,000 taels of gold and 100,000 taels of silver. I hope that you all will also contribute to the people.”

At the end of the speech, Su Mu’s tone had a clear chill, clear naked threat being conveyed. He donated his pure gold bed, do you all dare not to donate as well?!

Poor Zhang Fu’an was the chicken that was killed to warn the monkey (TN: expression that refers to punishing an individual as an example to others).

Su Mu’s intimidation techniques were very effective. After the morning assembly, hundreds of civil and military officials rushed home to check their property.

On the first day, two million taels of gold and 10 million taels of silver.

On the second day, seven hundred thousand taels of gold and five million taels of silver.

On the third day, one hundred thousand taels of gold and nine hundred thousand taels of silver.

In an instant, Su Mu raked in this much money that even when dreaming he would wake up laughing. But at the same time, he was deeply worried.

This country was already rotten to the roots, and it was as difficult to save it as it was to climb the sky. The Qing kingdom had yet to collapse so far because of Su Mochi’s horrifying martial prowess suppressing it. Su Mochi’s massacre of the nine cites prevented anyone from making a move, for fear of angering Su Mochi, and committing another “Bloodbath of the Nine Cities.”

Even so, the situation was already very bad. The borders continue to have friction every year and the kingdom’s territory was continuously shrinking. If this continued, sooner or later Qing kingdom will be wiped out.

Su Mu looked at the memorial reporting that the Southwest Army had occupied Luohuang city, and his expression became dark.

Luohuang city was located in the middle reaches of the Xijiang River, surrounded by tens of thousands of hectares of grain fields. One-third of the grains in the Qing kingdom came from Luohuang city and surrounding cities.

Su Mu rubbed his painful forehead, feeling that his head was about to explode. Most of the military officials in the imperial court were useless straw bags. And the only one capable, General Zhenyuan Qin Kunyu had hatred for him.

Su Mu thought about it for a long time, but he didn’t come up with anyone suitable for leading a campaign.

So the next morning, Su Mu asked directly: “Who is willing to lead soldiers to fight?”

Su Mu waited for a long time but didn’t see anyone stand out. The anger he had accumulated over the whole night broke out instantly, and the pure gold dragon chair under him instantly fell apart. “A bunch of useless pieces of trash, cowards, does the imperial court raise you for free, do you still have the face to go out in public? Ben Gong will ask again, who is willing to lead soldiers to fight?”

The officials practically wished to bury their heads into the ground, and the military officials in particular wished to shout out how wronged they were.

Who would dare to lead a group of soldiers who love ease and comfort but hate work and who can’t even lift their weapons? What’s more, most soldiers don’t even have weapons.

Suddenly, a plain-looking young general hesitated for a while and walked to the middle, saying: “Your Royal Highness, chen is willing to fight, but……”

Su Mu looked delighted and waved his hand, asking: “Just what, speak.”

The young military commander said: “It’s just that the soldiers have not been on campaigns for many years and lack weapons. Once they face the heavily armed Southwest Army, they will have no chance of winning.”

Su Mu silently paced back and forth. This was indeed a big problem. Without weapons it was just running to their deaths no matter how many soldiers there were, but the weapons cannot be made instantly.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

In the end, Su Mu could only grit his teeth and swallow down blood, he will remember this account.

But Su Mu can’t do nothing, otherwise it would not just be Luohuang city that will fall.

“Exploding the furnace, this……”

“This matter……”

Chen Half-Immortal said to Lin Yuan with difficulty: “It will take some time.”

They can’t do anything about it if the furnace doesn’t explode.

Lin Yuan was in a good mood due to the fake jade that could pass as the real deal. He said, “There’s no need to hurry this, but the gunpowder recipe can’t be slacking, you have to work harder.”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Chen Half-Immortal: “Of course, we still have to rely on you, Boss.”

Lin Yuan waved his hand: “No need for flattery. Do what you are asked to do and there will be no lack of benefits.”

The reward for making jade had already been given to them. Everyone was rewarded with a bamboo rat, and how it was cooked was all up to them.

In the absence of meat, this reward was very attractive.

Jiang Guang left two days later. When he came, he brought carts of medicinal materials. When he left, he took away only the huge fake jade. Chen Baisong and others naturally followed Jiang Guang. After all, the job concerned half a month’s worth of food for the people back at their villa.

Now that the bandit dens near their place have long been raided by them, they must find a way to find other ways to support their livlihood.

“Occasionally when you’re free, come back and visit.” Lin Yuan said to Chen Baisong.

Chen Baisong nodded, and he turned to look at Lin Yuan: “Young master, if you have a problem, only send for me, this is where I am staying.”

Saying so, he handed over a map drawn on linen cloth. Chen Baisong pointed to a place and said, “This is where I am.”

Lin Yuan solemnly put away the map. It seemed that there were many talented people under Chen Baisong’s command. Normal people can’t draw such a map.

“Young master, take care.” Chen Baisong clasped his fist.

Lin Yuan smiled at him: “You too, be careful on the way.”

Mother Chen was watching from a distance, her hand covering her mouth, fearing she would break out into sobs in the next second.

“When a child grows up, he will always leave.” Yang shi said softly beside her.

Mother Chen wiped her tears: “This slave just didn’t expect that he grew up so fast.”

Chen Baisong’s arrival seemed to be just an insignificant episode, but it did make Lin Yuan feel much better.

After the beginning of the spring, the farmstead became more and more busy. Although the city wall was built, the land still needed to be opened up for farming.

Liang er wiped a handful of sweat from his forehead, holding a hoe in his hand, and with a smile on his face, he said to San zi next to him: “Wonder what we will eat today.”

San zi inhaled twice: “I don’t know, but there will definitely be multi-grain steamed buns.”

Liang Er said: “Wonder who the best worker is today.” Nowadays, the farmstead will judge one outstanding laborer every day. This person’s food will be much better than others. He can eat a bowl of white rice and a dish that not only contain vegetables, but also meat with plentiful oil. And it was not required to eat in the cafeteria, even if you take it away to eat elsewhere it was fine.

Therefore, the degree of enthusiasm for opening the land was very high now, and everyone hoped that the person who was evaluated as outstanding was himself.

Liang er was also very hardworking, but he looked at his progress and found that there were many people who were faster than him. Now he fell into a bit of a slack.

“It’s not us anyway.” San zi had envy in his eyes, “If only I had that much strength, I would definitely be able to eat meat every day.”

“The one who had been rated as excellent in recent days were all Tietou.” Liang Er looked at Tietou who was plowing the land.

Tietou was a big honest fellow, he didn’t talk to people much, and always worked by himself. He had a relative in the farmstead, his only sister. All the rewards he had received these days were brought back to the dormitory and given to his sister.

His sister was born with weak health, so he always does more work alone, lest his sister will be disliked.

“Tietou! You should occasionally relax and give us a chance!” Liang Er shouted towards Tietou.

Tietou stopped and looked around, wondering who was calling him. After seeing Liang Er, he said in a low voice, “No.”

Liang Er said angrily to the San zi: “This man is really stubborn. He had eaten special meals for so many days.”

San zi comforted him: “Don’t be angry anymore, his sister is not healthy.”

Liang Er: “Bullying me because I don’t have a sister, right?”

San zi said in a small voice, “I don’t think you would work just as hard even if you have a sister.”

That night, Tietou was the same as the previous day, carrying white rice and a vegetable meat dish, his honest face finally showing a faint smile.

“Brother.” Tietou’s sister does not have a formal name, only the nickname Xiaohua, which was very countryside. In any village, girls from nine out of ten households were called Xiaohua.

Tietou put the stewed vegetables with meat and the rice on the table, and then carrying his sister to the table in a gentle and considerate manner at odds with his big clumsy looking body: “Hurry and eat.”

Xiaohua had been eating it for several days, but seeing the rice and stewed vegetable and meat dish she still craved to eat some more, she swallowed and whispered: “Have you eaten yet?”

Tietou: “I have eaten it, this is leftovers I brought back for you.”

Xiaohua smiled at Tietou, she didn’t doubt Tietou’s words at all, and took the chopsticks to eat.

“Brother, eat a piece of meat.” Xiaohua picked up the meat and fed it to Tietou’s mouth, and Tietou opened his mouth to take a bite.

The long-forgotten meaty taste encroached on his taste buds, Tietou took a deep breath and rubbed Xiaohua’s head: “You need to recover your health, brother will let you eat meat every day.”

Xiaohua nodded vigorously. She liked her life now. She didn’t have to worry about where she will sleep tomorrow, she didn’t have to worry about being hungry. She still remembered that when they first fled, if brother only sold himself, he could definitely find a master but because he was taking along a sickly sister no one had been willing to buy the siblings.

Only when they met Boss did they finally have a shelter.

“The more I think about it the more I’m angry.” Liang Er returned to the dormitory and complained to San zi. “He had gotten excellent so many days so what if he missed for a few days. If it wasn’t the fact that I can’t beat him, I would definitely teach him a lesson!”

San zi turned over, not really wanting to talk to Liang Er. Although it was difficult for them to get an excellent, they could still eat meat every seven days.

Of course, meat is never too much, but when many people can’t even fill their stomachs, it was already something rare that they do not go hungry.

San zi reminded: “You can’t fight in the farmstead. If you are discovered, you will be locked in the dungeon.”

The so-called dungeon was actually a cellar that was remodeled and was not for torture. But there was no light in the dungeon, a veritable little black room. After being locked in, no sound or light could be heard or seen.

No one had been in it so far.

But no one in the farmstead wanted to try it in any case.

Liang Er immediately lost his nerve, and whispered: “It’s not like I really want to teach him a lesson. You’ll see, I will definitely surpass him tomorrow.”

San zi don’t believe it: “I’ll go to bed first.”

The roommates also laughed and said, “Liang Er, you will have to work hard tomorrow. We don’t dare to fight with Tietou on getting excellent because of how desperate he appears.”

Liang Er went to sleep with confidence, and prepared to let Tietou know how good he was tomorrow.

However——

“Tietou is simply not human!” Liang Er threw the hoe onto the ground viciously.

The person next to him laughed at him: “Did you not say you wanted to show him up yesterday? You give up so soon?”

Liang er also felt ashamed to just give up, and could only toughen his skin and go on.

At the end of the evening, Liang Er glanced at Tietou’s ground, and knew that he would be laughed at by his companions today.

When the excellent worker was announced, Liang Er was absent-mindedly wondering if he should secretly put some croton seeds in Tietou’s rice tonight (TN: croton seeds are a strong purgative).

“Today’s outstanding laborers are: Tietou, Liang Er.” Jiang Gui explained after announcing the candidates, “Tietou had worked hard and had been excellent for several days. After we considered it, we decided that the second place can also enjoy the same treatment as the first place.”

The people were all happy, after all, it was impossible to defeat Tietou, they were almost ready to give up and slack off.

But the second place can still be fought for.

When the crowd dispersed, Liang Er still stood there thinking. San zi urged: “Why are you standing stupidly? Aren’t you going to the cafeteria?”

Liang Er walked to San zi’s side and asked: “Do you know where to find some croton seeds?”

San zi: “Why do you want croton seeds? If you eat that stuff, you will need to go to the toilet. No matter how much you eat, it’s useless. Maybe you will even die.”

There were many examples of people eating croton seeds and dying.

Liang Er whispered: “I plan to get some for Tietou.”

San zi widened his eyes: “Are you crazy?!”

Liang Er: “So I can take the first place, eat white rice and stewed vegetables with meat, and I will share half of it with you then.”

San zi had a complicated expression: “You can eat it now too.”

Liang Er: “Are you kidding? You don’t mean that you want me to steal Tietou’s? I can’t beat him.”

San zi sighed, “I mean, you can go to the kitchen to ask for white rice and stewed vegetables with meat.”

Liang Er was shocked: “Why?!”

San zi looked at Liang Er who seemed to really not know, and he suddenly said playfully: “The Boss said, anyone can get it tonight if they want to. Didn’t you hear what Jiang manager said just now?”

Liang Er said suspiciously: “I indeed did not listen carefully……”

He was just thinking about how he could defeat Tietou.

San zi: “I will take you there.”

San zi took Liang Er to the cafeteria. Now the cafeteria was already full of people. They were chatting and eating dinner. Because it was still cold in early spring, there were charcoal braziers in the four corners of the room, and with many people gathered together they can feel a rush of heat when they go in, it was extremely warm.

The women who were serving the meals sat behind the counter, chatting while serving.

“This is my brother, Liang Er, he wants white rice and stewed vegetables with meat.” San zi said to the woman who served the meal.

The woman had received the notice before, that two people were rewarded today, so the stewed vegetables with meat and rice were already prepared and kept warm so when they saw someone come to get it, they passed them over naturally.

“Remember to take the bowl and plate back after eating, or eat in the cafeteria.” The woman reminded.

And Liang Er, who was holding the wooden dinner plate, was still a bit at a loss, not knowing what happened.

He looked around and found that everyone was eating ordinary multi-grain steamed buns and stir-fried vegetables. No one had white rice or meat.

Liang Er looked at San zi vigilantly: “Boss definitely did not say to eat randomly, don’t lie to me.”

San zi cupped his belly and laughed: “Hahahahaha, how can you be so silly hahahahaha, you should really look at your expression just now.”

Liang Er looked at San zi with a displeased expression, but he was reluctant to put down the food in his hand.

San zi said after having laughed enough, “Manager Jiang said, because Tietou is always the first, so there will be rewards for the second in the future. You are the second today, so you can also get it.”

Liang Er stood there sluggish for a while before reacting.

He took the dinner plate and found an empty seat to sit down, looking at the whole bowl of white rice and stewed vegetables with meat, he picked up his chopsticks while swallowing.

San zi was also feeling a craving, after receiving his share of multi-grain steamed buns and vegetables he sat opposite Liang Er: “Can you give me a piece of meat?”

Liang er’s chopsticks stirred in the stew, and a lot of meat can be seen.

So Liang Er said generously: “Eat.”

San zi did not bother being courteous with him, he picked the biggest piece of meat he saw.

Lin Yuan was currently observing in Chen Half-Immortal’s research lab, in any case Lin Yuan didn’t want to call this room the alchemy room.

Chen Half-Immortal said to Lin Yuan with a little nervousness: “Actually, the furnace exploded once, but trying again according to the recipe it didn’t explode though.”

There were no precise measurement tools at this time, and every measurement depended on the feel. There were many uncertain factors, and Lin Yuan could understand it.

“Is there enough material?” Lin Yuan asked.

Chen Half-Immortal: “Enough is enough, we don’t use much each time, but it is better to prepare early.”

Still have to send someone to buy. Don’t know that there is any town around that sell these materials.

Lin Yuan could only call Zhu Yuanzhang and brother Dao to go out, each leading a team and had Chen Half-Immortal tell them what was needed.

“If we all go……” Zhu Yuanzhang still had some worries, “There won’t be many people left in the farmstead.”

After all, they will be taking away all the grown men.

Lin Yuan said: “Now the city wall has been built. While there are not many people left, but in total it is enough. There is also food in the farmstead. Even if there really is danger, it will be enough to last a siege. So you can return in half a month if you haven’t bought what is needed.”

Now that communication and transportation were inconvenient, he could only make calculations and stipulated times.

For ten or so days, even if bandits really come over, they will still be able to last.

As long as it was not an official army.

If it were, Lin Yuan could only surrender to the unfortunate circumstance. After all, once an official army arrived, even if Zhu Yuanzhang and brother Dao were in the farmstead, they wouldn’t be able to be of much help.

Lin Yuan made it clear, so Zhu Yuanzhang and brother Dao could only leave with their respective teams.

They have to pretend to be ordinary people, and they can’t buy too much each time, buying in batches to avoid being targeted.

It was the tenth year of the current emperor’s reign already.

Lin Yuan let out a sigh as he looked at their leaving backs.

The time left was really running out.

If at the end of this year, the number of people in the farmstead cannot exceed 1,000, he will truly not be able to do anything. Maybe he might even have to take the people to join the Red Turbans.

Recruiting troops was imminent.

Lin Yuan took a deep breath, but those he weren’t unsure of their origins, he didn’t dare to let them in.

Even if Chen Baisong had such a close relationship with the original owner, Lin Yuan didn’t completely trust him either.

Ah……he was truly close to going crazy.

Lin Yuan turned his head and looked at Er Liang who was cleaning up the house, staring in a daze. Er Liang felt that there was a line of sight focused on him from behind, the gaze causing his whole body to go numb. Turning around, he found that his young master was looking at him intently, and asked uncomfortably: “Young master? What are you doing looking at me? What, what is it?”

Lin Yuan sighed.

Er Liang became more nervous: “Did something happen? Young master, don’t not say anything, it’s scary.”

Lin Yuan: “Say, if I think less, will it be easier?”

Er Liang knew that this was his young master once again being peculiar. He picked up the rag and continued to wipe the dust. While wiping, he said, “Young master, you are now responsible for a big farmstead of people, if you think less you will be feeling easier, but if something happens you will not be feeling easy. “

Lin Yuan continued to sigh: “What you said makes sense.”

Er Liang: “Young master, if you have time to think about this, you might as well think about what to eat tomorrow.”

Lin Yuan waved his hand: “Anyway, it has been the same every day recently, so I don’t have to think about it.”

Er Liang: “Young master, why don’t you think about your life’s major event?”

Lin Yuan didn’t react for a while: “What major event? Life’s major event?”

Er Liang sighed: “You are already at this age, if it was still like before, I should have seen your son by now.”

Lin Yuan: “……”

Er Liang blabbered: “Master is also talking about this recently. It is a pity that this place is too remote to find a lady that matches your status. It is better to arrange two tongfang (TN: a servant girl who is actually a concubine as well) for you first.”

Lin Yuan’s face blushed instantly, he turned his head and said, “This……”

Er Liang winked and said, “Young master, this is just the ways of men.”

Lin Yuan stretched out his hand and pushed Er Liang’s head away: “Speak if you must speak, don’t get so close.”

“Forget it.” After careful consideration, Lin Yuan rejected the proposal.

Although it was a servant girl who take on concubine duties if needed, in the eyes of a modern-educated person like Lin Yuan, this was actually no different from his wife who does housework for him and have his children.

Although she would not be a wife in legal terms, Lin Yuan still can’t overcome this hurdle.

Besides, what should he do when he gets married and finds a wife?

Have several women live under one roof?

He felt that he probably didn’t have the skills of Long Aotian (TN: archetype in c-webnovels where the male MC travels back in time and finds himself a harem of women), when the time came he would definitely be surrounded by ‘enemies’ from all sides. If there was an additional battle between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, he can just say goodbye early.

Er Liang can’t believe it: “Young master, forget it? But you are seventeen now?”

Lin Yuan became angry with embarrassment: “Er Liang, if you want yourself then go tell that to my father, anyway, I can’t, and if you ask me again, I will punish you to clean the toilet bucket.”

Er Liang closed his mouth, stretched out his hands, and made a gesture of squeezing his mouth close.

“Speaking of toilet buckets……” Lin Yuan’s thoughts were taken astray, “I think the farmstead really needs a public toilet, and it can even be used to accumulate fertilizer.”

Although the people in the farmstead also save fertilizer on their own, in fact, most of them still go to the woods to do their business.

Er Liang heard Lin Yuan mention fertilizer, and his whole person felt strange, his expression difficult to put in words.

He didn’t even know who told the young master about fertilizer.

Hearing the young master mentioning compost seriously, his three views were shocked.

In the eyes of Er Liang, his young master shouldn’t know these things.

Lin Yuan: “What is your expression?”

Er Liang sniffed: “Young master, Er Liang did not take care of you good enough!”

Lin Yuan: “……”

After listening to Er Liang’s explanation, Lin Yuan was deeply impressed by Er Liang’s brain circuit.

But the matter of creating a public toilet cannot be forgotten.

Lin Yuan immediately summoned some people and started digging the public toilet. The public toilet was also simple. He followed the same structure as the modern farm toilet in the 1960s and 1970s. Dig a deep hole and cover it with two thick boards. If you are afraid of falling, you can use bricks to line it instead.

As soon as Lin Yuan gave the order, the people in the farmstead started to work in full swing.

After all, good work meant meat to eat.

Although——everyone thought digging a toilet was unnecessary.

But it was not called just a toilet, but a public toilet now.

“The Boss is truly extraordinary, there are actually special ways to shit.”

“That’s right, I used to think that it was already good if you had a toilet bucket like those landowning lords, but I didn’t expect that we are now actually building a special house for shitting, and have to dig such a deep hole.”

“I heard that a bucket of water must be placed outside, and you have to wash your hands after finishing.”

“Boss also had people go find a recipe for making paper, papers for wiping the butt.”

“Ai, no wonder he is the Boss, even the butt is more noble and high-born than ordinary people. Like us, aren’t we just fine with wiping with a leaf?”

“I heard that the lords all use silk and satin to wipe at their butts.”

“……Those lords who wipe their butts just once and it is more valuable than us wiping our whole life.”

Everyone reached an agreement and felt that the butts of the lords were all valuable butts.

The toilet was made very quickly. Two toilets were finished in two to three days, one for men and one for women. Lin Yuan also drew signs outside because everyone was illiterate. In order for them not to go to the wrong toilet, Lin Yuan drew a hoe for the men’s bathroom and a flower for the women’s bathroom.

This way it will be made clear.

As for drawing skirts and pants——at this age, men also wear skirts.

Although it cannot be called a skirt strictly speaking.

Lin Yuan naturally didn’t know that his butt was very valuable. He only knew that it would be much more convenient after having a public toilet. At least there was no need to worry about walking in the farmstead and accidentally stepping into a pit, only to discover ‘gold’ had been buried in the pit.

Now many people have to be supervised to make sure they use the toilets as many people don’t bother to take the few steps to the toilet at night.

Later, Lin Yuan had no choice but to come up with a method where they supervise on each other.

If they reported on someone not using the toilets as they should the reporter would be rewarded a piece of smoked meat, while the one reported on will have to eat one less meal the next day.

Once the punishment measures and incentive measures came out everyday there were people being reported.

It was busy for a few days at first, but then some people suffered, and some people benefited, so they now all go to use the public toilet obediently.

Now that the rectification had begun, Lin Yuan decided to rectify everything that can be rectified in one go.

For example, no drinking raw water, they can go to the cafeteria to drink the water every day.

No throwing things casually. The garbage must be gathered and they must take it a little further away to bury them.

Fortunately, having had the experience of the public toilets, the following rules were implemented very quickly, and the people in the farmstead have no more complaints or adverse reactions.

Lin Yuan was relieved and gave himself a like in his heart.

After having no other ideas to implement, Lin Yuan began to think once again about how to recruit soldiers and buy horses every day.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Maybe he should……just go raid some bandit villas?

After all, they had a little experience in raiding, and they had figured out how to rehabilitate the people who were captured back.

Or go to find the poor who have nowhere to go?

They can discuss it after Zhu Yuanzhang and brother Dao come back.
