Absolute Protagonist [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 58 The world is a game of chess 9
While Chu Si was thinking about the true thoughts of the sheriff here, in Boling City, not far from Xiaoyuan Village, where Chu Si temporarily lived, someone also mentioned him at the sheriff's mansion.
"What's the result of the investigation? What is the origin of that person in Xiaoyuan Village?" After Shen Wuyongduan, the governor of Boyang County, who was dressed in black uniform, sat in the case for a few days, Su Rong asked, "Is it related to other forces?"
Over the past six months, due to the appearance of Chu Si, Xiaoyuan Village has undergone earth-shaking changes. The improved new farm tools alone have doubled the harvest in their fields.
Although the people in Xiaoyuan Village held the idea of not letting the fat and water flow into the fields of outsiders, and did not publicize it everywhere, but as the sheriff who controls a county, at the same time, there are some unspeakable thoughts in their hearts. Shen Wuyong is naturally clear about all the big and small things.
Don't look at what Chu Si did in Xiaoyuan Village seems to be easy and not surprising, but if those new farm tools, farming and irrigation methods, waterwheels, fertilizers... and so on can be promoted to the whole world, it will make countless People no longer have to die of starvation.
Shen Wuyong, who was well aware of this, inevitably had thoughts about this talent who seemed to be quite good at farming, and wanted to recruit him.Then, finding out the origin of the other party is an indispensable prerequisite.
Thinking of this, the sheriff's expression became more solemn.
The next staff member who was sent to investigate this matter had a strange expression on his face. He waved his folding fan and said, "This person's identity is not ordinary... If you know, you must be shocked."
"Oh?" Shen Wuyong took the opportunity to show an expectant look. He has always shown a more easy-going and tolerant image in front of his subordinates, especially this staff member is a good friend who has known him for many years. more interested."
The staff stopped making rounds, put away the folding fan with a "shua", and said directly: "This person's surname is Chu Mingyuzhi, and his ancestral home is also our Boyang, and he is also known as Mr. Yulou."
"...It's actually him?!" The information revealed in these few short sentences made Shen Wuyong's expression straighten, and his eyes became sharp in an instant.
——Prime Minister Chu Buyi's youngest son, orphan of the Chu family... Suspected to be the most likely promoter behind the change of the Yongjing Palace... Ordinary people may not know it, but the information of this person may have already been placed on many people's desks.
Shen Wuyong, who is the governor of Boyang County, is no exception.
Before that, Chu Yuzhi's poems and articles have long been famous all over the world, but Shen Wuyong himself appreciates practical talents more, and has a general understanding of this young master of Yulou.It wasn't until the Yongjing Palace changed, and the world changed hands overnight, that he discovered the existence of this person from the intelligence of the follow-up investigation.
She was already waiting to die in Zhao Prison, but for some reason she got involved with the prince.Whether it is the prince killing the king and father, or the four princes bloodbathing Miyagi, they all seem to be inextricably linked with each other behind it, and it may even be the result of his subtle induction and catalysis...Some things that are not too secretive on the surface... Anyone who is interested can find out the information, but the more in-depth inside information is inferred by Shen Wuyong's staff based on the known information.
...It turns out that this person has also lit up the skills related to agriculture?
Shen Wuyong, who was confused by this unbelievable fact, looked at the staff in disbelief, and saw that the young man who was both a friend and a staff member opened the folding fan again at the moment, with a thoughtful expression on his face: "...I am afraid that this Mr. Yulou It’s not easy to recruit, and most of our original ideas won’t work.”
I thought they were just hermits and sages in the countryside, as long as they gave the other party enough courtesy and generous preferential treatment, they would surely be able to move people's hearts.
But Yulou son Chu Yuzhi?How could an aristocratic son who grew up in a heap of splendor be able to appreciate their so-called generous treatment?A person who can jump between two princes and calculate everything about the emperor and courtiers probably doesn't care about the fame and fortune recognized by the world.Otherwise, the other party would not have left everything in the past and left Yongjing, living silently in a palm-sized place like Xiaoyuan Village for nearly a year.
The two looked at each other, and they both saw the unwillingness in each other's eyes.
It's just that the situation in Boyang is different from other states and counties. Not only is it inland, the commerce and trade are not developed, but also the terrain is mostly hilly, and the agriculture is also barren.If they want to occupy a place in the coming troubled times, they must accumulate a solid capital, and the ability displayed by Chu Si is really crucial.
……
On this day, Chu Si once again molested the fish and shrimp in the luscious water, and came back full of joy.In front of that simple and quaint cabin, he met two figures who had been waiting for a long time.
The younger-looking young man was dressed in a Confucian shirt, with bright and clear eyes, and held a fan in his hand.The man beside him looked to be in his early thirties, with regular facial features, a slight beard on his chin, and the majesty of a long-standing superiority in his eyes.This is the obvious leader of the two.
While Chu Si was sizing up the two of them, the eyes of the two on the opposite side also slipped past him calmly.
The unique demeanor that cannot be concealed by ordinary coarse clothes, the calm and leisurely smile on the pale and almost sickly face, and the quietly burning flames in those dark and deep eyes... The young man in front of him has a kind of Seeing the unforgettable temperament, even if he is still holding a fishing rod that does not match him at all, it does not damage his special aura in the slightest.
Shen Wuyong stepped forward and was about to speak.
The young man who had been lazily glancing at them had already withdrawn his gaze, with a smile on his face: "It turns out that he is the governor of the county, and he has admired him for a long time. I am really sincere and terrified."
Then his tone and expression obviously didn't match the content of the words at all, and he was still in that casual and idle posture.It seemed that every word he said was just a customary politeness, which could be said to be quite careless.
Such an attitude interrupted the draft that the two had made.In order to reconcile the atmosphere smoothly, the young man in a Confucian shirt asked curiously: "I don't know how Mr. Chu would recognize our identities? Could it be that we were lucky enough to meet?"
"That's not the case." Putting down the fishing rod casually, the pale young man smiled and shook his head, "I'm just guessing casually. Unexpectedly, I guess right."
... Is it really a random guess?
Lu Yizhi put away the folding fan, not believing the other party's words in his heart.His intuition told him that this Mr. Chu seemed to have a deep understanding of the two of them.
Subsequent developments seemed to confirm his guess.
When Shen Wuyong proposed that he wanted to spread everything that Chu Si had done in Xiaoyuan Village to the whole Boyang, this Mr. Chu, who thought it would be difficult to speak, agreed without hesitation.
Even after Shen Wuyong tentatively proposed an invitation to ask the other party to stay in the sheriff's mansion for a while and ask for advice, Chu Si still agreed without hesitation.
Originally, they didn't expect to succeed once, but the two who were about to visit the wooden house three times were at a loss for a while.
Unexpectedly, not only the goal was successfully completed, but even a little bit exceeded.Returning to Boling City in a trance, even though Shen Wuyong has always been deep in the city, it is inevitable that his excitement will leak out.
The halo on Chu Si's body was really too shining.
Even if the prime minister's mansion no longer exists, with the name of the first-class family of the Boyang Chu family, no matter where he goes, he can be the guest of others.In this era when the aristocratic family is superior, just the innate bloodline will make the status of the aristocratic family's children a lot higher than that of Hanshu.
In addition, his own ability is also what Shen Wuyong urgently needs.So Shen Wuyong couldn't help being excited now.
In front of Lu Yizhi, a good friend and staff member beside him, the county governor couldn't help but feel a little flustered: "Yizhi, in your opinion, whether this young master of Yulou has been optimistic about me for a long time. Before that, he just waited and watched the situation in Xiaoyuan Village. consideration?"
... Otherwise, it is impossible to explain why the other party agreed so simply.Maybe, after a period of time, as we become more familiar with each other, this Mr. Chu will naturally join him.
Thinking of this, the county sheriff's face became even clearer.
Lu Yizhi gave him a strange look.
...Did you start drifting before you even touched a drop of alcohol, Mr. Sheriff?
Compared with the blindly optimistic Shen Wuyong who is in a good mood, Lu Yizhi, who is an outsider, is calmer.But he was also full of doubts.
If it was said that before meeting Chu Si, he still hoped to persuade this Mr. Yulou to work with him, then after meeting him, he gradually gave up this idea.
I don't know what other people's impressions of this Mr. Yulou are, but the first time Lu Yizhi saw him, the only word that popped up in his mind was "arrogance".
He sensed an arrogance that went down to the bone in this man.As for the external slack, unruly, calm, calm, or polite and humble, they are just a coat draped on the other party.
Such a person can never be convinced.
Lu Yizhi couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
...What is the purpose of the other party?
In the end, he shook his head, and decided to let go of his hair, which was not lush in the first place: "Why worry about it, a person like him, I'm sure he won't be a low-level worker."
·In less than a month, Lu Yizhi finally got the answer to the thing that he couldn't figure out.
This morning, everything was as usual.A low-key carriage slowly drove out of Boling City.The guards guarding the city just took a symbolic look at the travel token, and then let the other party pass.
After all, Mr. Chu has the habit of going out of the city to fish every morning, and everyone should get used to it during this time.
The morning breeze blows the azure car curtain, and the sun breaks through the clouds, shining on the face of the person in the car that is hard to draw with ink and paint.The young man who was caught by the light subconsciously narrowed his eyes slightly, and the smile on his lips was the same as every day in the past, lazy and undisciplined.
"I'm tired."
He naturally nodded to the guards guarding the city. The guards grinned subconsciously, as if they were infected by each other's smiles. They looked at each other and couldn't help sighing: "This nobleman is really good-natured..."
The carriage drove away from the city gate slowly, the rhythm was not hurried or slow, and the young man bathed in the breeze and morning light had a leisurely and soothing expression, as if he was just out of the city for an outing.
However, the familiar carriage never returned until the evening clouds dyed the sky and night fell.
The entire county guard's mansion was alarmed by this, and a large number of county soldiers were sent out to search for Chu Si's whereabouts.
Shen Wuyong was originally worried that this Young Master Chu would accidentally delay time, or meet bandits, but just as he returned to the study, he saw Lu Yizhi hurried in and handed him a letter.
"This is..." Shen Wuyong suddenly stopped when he was about to speak, and he saw the familiar characters on the envelope.
Lu Yizhi's tone was complicated: "This is the letter that Chu Yuzhi left in the hands of Xiaoyuan Village Villager a month ago, and I asked him to hand it over to the county governor now."
"A month ago?" Shen Wuyong took the letter with a low voice, "So he planned everything already?"
His gloomy face was full of resentment, his eyes seemed to be brewing with thunder, and his aura was like a volcano about to erupt.Finally, the power of a county sheriff broke out.
It's hard for anyone not to be angry after being teased like this.
·Outside Boling City, a carriage that had traveled an unknown distance passed through a dense forest. The wheels of the carriage rolled and rolled, and the fine fallen leaves were crushed to make a rustling sound.
The night sky was rendered layer by layer, and the light became dim.
"Stop! Take a rest for the night, and hurry up tomorrow."
Accompanied by a clear sound, the carriage slowed down and stopped slowly.
A young man in a plain white robe got out of the carriage, and the moonlight in the middle of the night elongated his shadow.
Amidst the blazing fire and the delicious smell of barbecue, the conversation between the master and the servant could be faintly heard.
"Young master, if you leave like this, will you anger the governor of Boyang and make him wanted by the world?"
"Undoubtedly, he will definitely do this—well, fat but not greasy, your technique of grilling meat is really amazing."
"It's just mutual benefit. During this period of time, I learned everything about Boyang through the channel of the Sheriff's Office. But I didn't hold back what he wanted from me."
Chu Si's voice still had that lazy tone.
"—At any rate, he can be regarded as a prince in troubled times. If he can figure it out, that would be the best."
"Where are we going next?"
"Well, let's continue to go south. Go flicker, cough, and inspect the next future prince."
... To be precise, it is to find out the situation of the other party's power - for a certain purpose.In short, it is not a boring drama like looking for the Ming Lord.
"Ah, by the way, this kind of wanted situation may happen many times in the future, you have to get used to it as soon as possible."
"What's the result of the investigation? What is the origin of that person in Xiaoyuan Village?" After Shen Wuyongduan, the governor of Boyang County, who was dressed in black uniform, sat in the case for a few days, Su Rong asked, "Is it related to other forces?"
