Chapter 249

Hao Ren, who was in a confrontational state, didn't raise his head immediately.

He is an old man. The border war 50 years ago was the stage for the level star warlocks to show off their ambitions. All the gentlemen who survived the battlefield will be more cautious when facing the battle again.

Hao Ren stared closely at Jiang Gen's eyes, then put on a posture ready to attack, and then slowly raised his eyes to look up.

As per standard procedure, he would take one glance, lower his head, then take a second glance to make sure...

But Hao Ren raised his head, only glanced at it for the first time, and never lowered his head again.

There are at least 15 star warlocks floating in the sky, what else can they target.War experience also told him that those above him, looking down at him in a spectator manner, were definitely real astromancers, not just an apprentice astromancer with only one flying star array.

Considering the slim possibility of victory, Hao Ren canceled his battle preparations as slowly as possible, and even extinguished the star array.

Jiang Gen showed his big teeth and laughed, the tattoos on his face trembling, and said slightly teasingly: "Mr. Hao, I won't lie to you. Why do you say so?"

Jiang Huang is a fourth-level star warlock, Cheng Lu combination, plus 7 second-level star warlocks, and 2 first-level star warlocks.None of them was much less powerful than Hao Ren.There are even slower apprentice star warlocks flying over slowly.

Jiang Gen shrugged like Cheng Jinzhou,
Hao Ren was cowardly speechless.He didn't know how many star warlocks came to De'an with Cheng Jinzhou, and he didn't expect that Jiang Huang star warlock would come with Cheng Jinzhou at such a fast speed.

He probably couldn't understand how boring the star warlocks who had just arrived in De'an were.After sitting in the airship for two days, no matter how luxurious the furnishings are in the small space, people will not want to stay any longer.The ground was not a good place either, the construction site was full of dust, the sound of horns and the neighing of mules and horses along the way was annoying, and a dozen or so star warlocks were floating in the air without hesitating to waste their star power. There was really nowhere to go.

So, when everyone received the message from Jiang Gen, they flew to the county without hesitation.

Cheng Jinzhou was riding on Lu Xu, and he was also very curious about the troublemakers on his territory.The prosperity of Jinchuan Province is average, and there is no material that astrologists particularly like. The astrologists who have taken root here are also very interesting.Moreover, with the status of a second-level and two-star, not to mention the Cheng family in the past, or the most powerful Nanling County Prince's Mansion in Jinchuan, even the capital city has a lot of opportunities for him. It is also very strange to stay in Jinchuan Province, which is poor in astrology resources. matter.

Xiao Cheng thought about it, and asked with a condescending attitude: "Mr. Hao? You have been living in Jinchuan?"

When he was in the capital, Cheng Jinzhou had seen too many second-level star warlocks. Whether it was in the outer peninsula or Xia Jing Temple, all the star warlocks maintained a humble attitude towards Xiao Cheng.But Hao Ren didn't go through this. Strictly speaking, he was a little out of touch with the entire world of astrologers.

In normal times, being out of touch in the world of astrologists for two or three years is nothing.The star warlocks of Daxia and the star warlocks of Xingzhou are out of touch.However, in terms of interpersonal relationships, Hao Ren's disconnection made him angry.

He looked at Cheng Jinzhou, a first-level and two-star star, and no matter how many high-ranking astrologists were there, he snorted and said, "Even if you want to visit me, you should get off the servant first."

Lu Xu didn't like to wear badges, so Hao Ren didn't even know he was an astromancer.And his reason seems to be very reasonable, not to mention the status of a second-level and two-star warlock, even in terms of age, Hao Ren would be a few circles older than Cheng Jinzhou.He has been domineering in Jinchuan Province for 50 years, and he has never bowed his head to others.

Cheng Jinzhou was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and patted Lu Xu on the shoulder.The two flew up silently.Hao Ren was indeed old, and he didn't plan to talk to him any further. Anyway, if he wanted to know something, he would ask others later.

Hao Ren's stubbornness came into play again, and he flew up suddenly, wanting to chase Cheng Jinzhou.At the same time, Jiang Gen and Warlock Bai Jingxing dispatched at the same time to stop him.

Jiang Gen smiled wryly at the others, and turned to say: "Mr. Hao, stop chasing him. Mr. Cheng is the Priest of Chenguang, not an ordinary two-star warlock."

"So what. I'm an association star warlock." Hao Ren was still dissatisfied. He didn't believe that everyone was looking at Cheng Jinzhou, so he looked at fourth-level star warlock Jiang Huang.

He took it for granted that Cheng Jinzhou was just one of Jiang Huang's subordinates leading the team.As for why Jiang Huang came to Jinchuan Province, and even brought a group of star warlocks with him, there could be hundreds of similar guesses.For example, special mine veins, or find a place where there are few astrologists to retire, or even travel to famous mountains and rivers, etc...

However, Jiang Huang shattered Hao Ren's cognitive system with just one sentence.He said slowly: "Mr. Cheng Jinzhou is discussing friendship with my peers, let's forget about this matter."

Mr. Cheng Jinzhou?Just a title made Hao Ren, who was in a stalemate, speechless.

Jiang Gen's muscular body trembled with laughter. He patted Hao Ren's shoulder, and said without hesitation when the latter shook him off, "Mr. Cheng was not sitting on the servant just now, that was the second servant." Super Star Warlock Lu Xu."

……

The ashamed Hao Ren left De'an that night.The hotels left behind were naturally allocated to the astrologists who came with them.No matter how bad the conditions were, it was always better than living in an airship. Coupled with the crazy cleaning of more than a hundred servants, the decoration of the house was quite satisfactory.

Officials who were planning to come to congratulate also rushed to De'an at the last moment.

Since the establishment of this county, it has probably never experienced such a prosperous scene.

Officials from all over the country, officials' entourage.Aristocrats everywhere, entourages of nobles.More businessmen come and go.The small town of De'an can hardly accommodate so many "tourists" for a while, and many citizens can make a fortune by renting out their houses - most of the high-ranking officials cherish their feathers, After all, domineering people are rare, as long as anyone who is willing to rent a house can get a far higher premium than usual.

The Cheng family also sent a lot of people.Different from leaving Shaonan for the capital last time, the servants of the Cheng family sent this time are all elite soldiers and strong generals.

All wealthy nobles, from the day of their establishment, will focus on cultivating servants at home so that they can do their best to undertake some work.It is the easiest to read and study ink, and it is also necessary to keep accounts and peace accounts. Further masters, the so-called masters of money and food, masters of punishment, etc., need to be proficient in all kinds of knowledge.Not only that, if there is something like property, a steward who can be released, a housekeeper who can suppress the matter, and a clever errand are all indispensable. Once there is a need, servants who know some military knowledge will be helpful to the master. No small help.

Those high-ranking families even raised a group of private soldiers, usually collecting taxes and rents, and pulling them out under special circumstances to form a backbone non-commissioned officer regiment.

Naturally, the Cheng family also trained their own servants, but they were not the sons of the family who took up high-level positions, and they would not send them out for use at all. They were the most valuable property of the public guards.Because according to everyone's habits, if a servant is used by the second child, the third child will never use it again.Although it is considered human nature, it has always been the focus of competition among various households for whom the trained manpower will be given.

Cheng Jinzhou, as a legitimate son, would get different numbers of people if he passed the normal procedure, passed the Jinshi examination or promoted others, and was sent out to be an official.But after Sanfang lost power and went to the capital, there was no one on hand.

Now that Cheng Jinzhou has not only become a star warlock, but also has a high reputation, the Cheng family can no longer sit still.Even without Mrs. Cheng's suggestion, the other three branches of Qingyueyuan Longzhong proposed at the meeting to send people to Deping.

The final number of people naturally exceeded the number required by the county magistrate.

Cheng Jinzhou accepted them all without hesitation.He never thought of being limited to one county.

In fact, these people did help him a lot in the running of the government.In other words, in the absence of Cheng Jinzhou, a group of tacit servants can help Cheng Jinzhou organize the magistrate's work in an orderly manner.

Such thoughtful service is not only useful to Xiao Cheng, but also useful to any student who takes the imperial examination.

Those proud sons of heaven who have studied hard all their lives and don't understand anything, rashly go to a place where they can't even understand the local dialect to become officials. If they can immediately recognize the disadvantages of love, the title of genius is too worthless.

With the help of general affairs, Cheng Jinzhou asked people to start sorting out De'an's information, and officially took office at the same time.

The magistrate and Lord Bo of De'an County specially prepared a grand celebration.Lion dance teams lined up, Yangko teams lined up, drumming teams lined up...

But compared with Cheng Jinzhou's own celebration, it was far worse.

In fact, Xiao Cheng didn't do anything special, he just brought together middle and high-level civil officials from all over the place, had a meal, and introduced you astrologists by the way.

In the end, student Xiao Cheng announced something to the priests in Jinchuan governor's yamen in a calm tone.

When the announcement was made, Cheng Jinzhou silently recited a master's manuscript in classical Chinese, but the content was simple and clear: "Half a year ago, I built several Zhuangzi in Shaonan, all of which were quite unique. Ann, I don't want to leave those Zhuangzi over there to be stained with ashes, but Zhuangzi can't move here, so I came up with an idea, just connect them, so that everyone is convenient."

Taoist Kong Choushi, who was drinking, directly sprayed the wine out of his mouth.That was without the slightest hesitation, and there was no time to show the slightest embarrassment on his face.

From De'an to Shaonan, it is a full 200 kilometers away!Even if it is connected into a long and narrow strip, it is equivalent to 200 square kilometers, which is 30 mu of land.Master Daotai is not very good at mathematics, but he knows that it spans three counties and is in two different states...

The saddest thing is that Master Daotai of the fourth rank cannot directly object.Because Cheng Jinzhou announced it in front of everyone, if he opposed Cheng Jinzhou, it would be tantamount to opposing a group of star warlocks.

It's really a group of star warlocks!

Look at the astrologist standing behind Cheng Jinzhou chatting in another room, Kong Choushi wanted to cry but regretted coming to De'an after scrambling.
