Chapter 23 A flash of thought of a big man
The next morning, the seducer left Ye Xiaotian's mansion. When he left, Tongren's prosperity had already left his mark on him, and the scenery of the Changfeng Taoist also left his mark on his heart. Perhaps this mark was not deep enough, but this was just the first step.
The so-called corrosion means that people can become wise without realizing it. If people are alert, they will fall aside. Ye Xiaotian has his own way. As long as there is a gap in his mental defense, Ye Xiaotian will have a way to pry the gap wider and wider.
When the Gdoulao's tribe was moved under Ye Xiaotian's order, the temple allocated a batch of gold to the tribe according to Ye Xiaotian's instructions. The gold was also brought to Ye Xiaotian's mansion by the Toutoulao, which was the gold sand raw mine collected from the gold mine in the deep mountains.
This mineral is hidden in the mountains. Since the seedling tribe lives around, it is not known to the outside world. The gold sand of this mine is very purity and almost no need to be refined. However, if you buy such a pure gold sand ore, it may cause suspicion among people, so Ye Xiaotian did not rush to take action.
On the day when the seducer arrived in Tongren, he sent someone to inform the "tycoon's grocery store" on Qinglang Street and asked the tycoon to see him at Tongren. Ye Xiaotian wanted to hand over this batch of gold sand to the tycoon, and the tycoon helped secretly buy farm tools, seeds, cloth, oil and salt, grain and other items.
Before the Gdolla tribe was able to reliably relied on its own, with these things, they could guarantee their lives to the greatest extent. Ye Xiaotian's purpose was to lead these devout mountain people to a civilized and prosperous life, rather than spending half of the savages in the mountains.
He thought the tycoon would come very quickly, but he didn't expect that the tycoon came late. A day after the seducer left, the tycoon's messenger arrived and told him that his young master was on the way. It turned out that the reason why the tycoon was so slow was because he moved his family to Tongren.
The tycoon had told him before that Tongren City was larger than Huxian. It was more suitable for him to show his strength and move to Tongren. But after repeated attempts, it was still difficult to make a move. Now Ye Xiaotian took the lead, and the tycoon finally made up his mind to move Tongren.
Fortunately, the tycoon had already been preparing to move to Tongren, and the houses and other places had been handled by his semicolon in Tongren, and it was not in a hurry to move in at this time. The two brothers finally got together again in Tongren.
In the Six Dragon Mountain Seven Mysterious Temple, Wang Ning and Hong Baichuan still play chess.
Wang Ning set up a son and said to Hong Baichuan: "Is the young master moving to Tongren?"
Hong Baichuan nodded and said, "This child has long been determined to move to Tongren, but it has not been done. He has just moved here, so I have an excuse to come over to live with my son, so as to avoid having to come to Tongren on the excuse of being busy with business from time to time."
Wang Ning smiled bitterly and said, "It was me who was deceived by Yang Yinglong. I really thought that the key point of his management of the Northeast was Huxian, so I made my elder brother make a wrong decision. Who would have thought that he was building a plank road openly and crossing Chencang secretly, and his real focus was Tongren."
Hong Baichuan said: "I can't blame you. Look at his destiny to Huxian. Who would have thought there was a fraud? Didn't the Tian family also be fooled by him? Otherwise, why would the Tian family send people to Huxian again and again? But now he has tied up with the chieftains of Tongren, and I hope we can still grasp his every move."
Wang Ning said: "We are one step late after all. Now we want to wedge nails in the middle of them. It's too late to insert the inner line. My brother wants to use a Taoist. Is that what I want to do?"
Hong Baichuan also set up a son and smiled and said, "No! When emperors and generals made major decisions or sent troops to expedition, they would ask God for divination to predict good and bad luck. Nowadays, many emperors and generals... still ask God for divination to divination, haha..."
What Hong Baichuan said is true at all. Landmines, lightning strikes, and some changes in the celestial phenomena, the emperor must consult the Imperial Heavenly Prison, issue an edict to punish himself, and impose a general amnesty in the world, involving some major decisions or military and national affairs. How can there be no reason not to ask God for divination?
Wang Ning said with a deep thought: "So that's it."
Hong Baichuan said: "As long as the Taoist Changfeng can be valued and trusted by them, we will beg him to divine it sooner or later. We may not get ordinary news, but we will definitely know some important news. Isn't what we need really important news?"
...
At this time, the Dragon Boat Festival is being held in Luowang River in Guiyang. On the river beach are dragon boats made of complete fir trees. The boats are seven or eight meter long and only three feet wide. They are carved with dragon heads and phoenix tails, and the dragon heads are male roots, bird-shaped, or fish-shaped signs to show praying for children and heirs, fish-water joy, etc. Of course, auspicious words such as "good weather and rain" and "peace of the country and peace" will also be engraved on the dragon horns.
There was a square table on the shore, with branches with leaves and branches tied to the feet of the table, umbrellas, red cloth, paper money and a handful of grass. On the square table was a liter of white rice, a white rooster with faded hair, and three glasses of water and wine in front of the incense burner.
An old man in white robe held three incense sticks and prayed silently to the sky. The wizard next to him reached out, grabbed the white rooster with his left hand, and grabbed the white rice with his right hand, and threw it at the dragon boats. He muttered to pay tribute to the dragon god. After casting the spell, he waved his knife to cut off the chicken's head and threw the chicken to the neatly arranged dragon boats.
Seeing this, the old man in white robe waved his big hand and shouted majesticly: "Start!"
The drums rang like thunder, and countless viewers watching on the beach suddenly shouted like tsunami. The young men with red belts and red-headed silk all bulged their tendons and rushed into the river like a dragon boat. While the dragon boat was still sliding forward by inertia, they jumped onto the boat quickly and rowed the oars.
The old man in white robe walked towards the third-floor stand on the beach with a smile. There was a shed on the stand and red silk was tied on the shed. This was the place where the Guiyang great men who hosted the dragon boat race watched the battle.
As soon as the old man in the white robe arrived, the people in the stands stood up in unison, because the old man in the white robe was surnamed An, and he was the king of chieftains. If more than 100 toasts of all sizes in Guizhou were more than 100 dragons, then he was the dragon king.
Mr. An walked towards his position calmly with more than a hundred powerful men on the third floor stands, and halfway through, he suddenly stopped. On his left hand was a pair of beautiful men, the man was as beautiful as jade, and the woman was as smiling as flowers. It was Tian Binfei and Tian Miaowen.
When the old man stopped, the Tian brothers and sisters hurriedly saluted him and said in unison: "Hello, old man!"
Mr. An looked at their brother and sister with a smile and said, "I heard that a seedling has emerged from the mountain and arrived in Tixisi?"
The Tian brothers and sisters looked at each other. Tian Binfei said in surprise: "My brother and sister don't know about this. Where did the old man hear about it?"
Mr. An smiled and pointed at them, "Are you two little foxes trying to play tricks with the old man? That little fat man Tongren should be frightened. Your Tian is his old master, and that little fat man will definitely ask you for it."
Tian Miaowen blinked and asked obediently: "Then... If the seedlings really come out of the mountain and the prefect Zhang asks us brother and sister, what should we do if the old man thinks we Tian family?"
Mr. An smiled and said, "The little fat man in the Zhang family is timid. You brothers and sisters are very brave. Are you scared too? Just comfort him. If you give birth to seedlings and come out of the mountain, I don't think it's a bad thing. Just let it go, just let it go!"
Tian Miaowen is still waiting for further questions. Mr. An has continued to walk forward. The voices of the three of them are not high. The audience on the shore is making thunderous shouts to cheer for the participating dragon boat team, so no one has heard clearly what the three of them said.
What is Mr. An? His every move, every word and action. How could the Tian brothers and sisters look at him casually? After Mr. An took his seat, everyone also sat down one by one. Tian Binfei and Tian Miaowen looked at each other, looking confused. Even though they were extremely smart and Lan Xinhuizhi, they did not understand the profound meaning of Mr. An's words.
The chieftain stopped deliberately. The two brothers and sisters of the Tian family, who were gradually declining and gradually became the last of the four heavenly kings, spoke cordially. In the eyes of others, they only thought that the old man had compassion for the decline of Tian family, so they took special care. No one expected that what the three of them were talking about was something that was not worth mentioning in the eyes of many Tongren people.

When Dai Tongzhi went to Tixi, there was one missing from Dai Li and Ye's three-member group. The only ones who often got together were Li Juan and Ye Xiaotian. The two were familiar with each other and had similar official positions, but they got along very well.
After drinking and massaged it again on the same day, Li Juan felt energetic and was really sorry for his increasingly fat body, so he was excited to go to the fireworks and willow alley. Ye Xiaotian was not good at this, so the two broke up halfway.
Seeing that it was still early, Ye Xiaotian had nothing important to do in the yamen at this time, so he walked to Xicheng to check the progress of the dredging. This dredging was indeed not something that could be done easily. It took a lot of time to dig out the decay mud that had been accumulated for more than 500 years, had a strong stickiness and strong suction force from the ground with human power, which was extremely time-consuming.
A large temporary factory area was enclosed by Yuji on an empty mine ground not far from the dredging site. Manager Ding almost temporarily suspended his brick and tile shop in the suburbs, and all his employees were transferred to the city.
Ye Xiaotian walked into the brick and tile stroll with his guards, and saw two shallow pits on both sides of the door, and several children led the buffalo and stepped around the pit like mud monkeys.
These silt dug from the ground are suitable for burning bricks, but they do not require "refining" at all, because they also need to add some other things to stir them into one to make brick embryos and tile embryos. However, because they are sticky silt, they only need to be slightly refined and not stirred for half a day.
When Ye Xiaotian saw so many child laborers, some of them were not very stumbled and frowned. Going further, he saw more children working on bricks. Although they were young and had little strength, they were chewing elephants and carried a lot of bricks and tiles.
Manager Ding smiled and sent a rich man out. The rich man's family was going to build a new house. He had just ordered a batch of bricks and tiles here. When he saw Ye Xiaotian coming, Manager Ding quickly claimed the rich man's crime and welcomed him to Ye Xiaotian.
Ye Xiaotian frowned and said, "Shopkeeper Ding, why have you... used so many young people?"
Shopkeeper Ding smiled and said, "Yes! They are all dolls whose parents are busy with their livelihoods and are unattended. They run to brick shops in groups to play hide-and-seek and play mud. I think they have nothing to do and it affects workmanship, so they simply ask them to help do things. Their parents are very happy to get some money back every day."
Ye Xiaotian was originally a little dissatisfied with the children who were helping the shopkeeper Ding, and he didn't want Manager Ding to show off his favor. He looked at the children carefully, all of whom were unkempt and ragged. His family background was predictable. I believe they could work hard and earn money from the family, and their parents were really satisfied.
Ye Xiaotian waved to a runny little boy. When the boy saw that the charity who paid them the wages were very respectful to the young man, he immediately ran over obediently. Ye Xiaotian bent down and asked, "You are working here to earn money, do your parents agree?"
The little boy wiped his nose, nodded proudly, and said, "Well! My parents said, I have grown up and can earn money for my family, and I am very promising!"
Ye Xiaotian smiled and asked again: "Then what are you planning to do after you make money?"
The little boy said, "I want to study! My father said that if you want to have a bright future, you have to read and read, but now your family is poor and you can't afford to hire a sir."
Ye Xiaotian thought that when he was young, he could not afford to hire a husband and go to a private school, so his father took the two brothers to prison. In order to let the criminals teach them to read, he accompanied them to run errands with a smile, and he couldn't help feeling sad.
The child ran back and continued to move bricks. Ye Xiaotian looked at the children's shabby clothes and his thin figure thought: "Since I, as a prosecutor, even doing nothing like digging canals, it would be okay to have more things. Just don't do your job to the end!"
