After the divorce, I became a mountain god

Xu Bo'an was curiously thinking about the source of the incense's power when suddenly he felt a strong calling.

Xu Boan instantly relied on experience and judged that this was the summoning coming from the Chenghuang Temple in Shanyang City.

It is said that it is the City God's Temple. In fact, this description is no longer very correct. After all, at this moment, the original City God's Temple has been built into a new open-air square. At most, it is called the City God's Square because of the huge statue of the City God. More appropriate.

At this moment, in the quiet night of the night in Chenghuang Square, which should have been empty, many people were standing together.

If Xu Bo'an were here at this time, he would find that these people are all prominent figures in Shanyang County.

These people are basically officials from the Shanyang City County Government and some of the brains of the Shanyang Order, as well as some of the top business owners and wealthy families in the county.

These people all held three sticks of standing incense in their hands, and they lined up neatly, moving slowly one by one, and were inserting incense into the incense burner in front of the City God's Temple.

……

After receiving the feeling of being summoned, Xu Boan quickly entered the mountain temple on the mountain of the backing village, and instantly saw the floating bubble, which showed the scene of the Chenghuang Square in Shanyang City.

Xu Bo'an did not hesitate, and immediately clicked and touched the bubble. In an instant, he came to the statue of the City God in the City God Temple, and his eyes were attached to it.

It was late at night in Shanyang County at this time.

The quiet Shanyang City gradually reveals its unique charm and charm under the baptism of moonlight.

The moonlight was like water, filling the entire county. Under the moonlight, the streets paved with bluestones cast a faint halo, as if they were lightly covered by a layer of gauze. The shops on both sides of the street have already been lit up, and the warm yellow light interweaves with the moonlight, adding a bit of warmth and peace to this quiet night.

The mountains in the distance appear even steeper and taller under the moonlight. They stand quietly behind this ancient town, as if they are giants guarding this land.

The small river at the foot of the mountain is sparkling under the moonlight, like a silver ribbon fluttering in the night. The river flows around the city wall and becomes the moat that Shanyang City has relied on for thousands of years.

But now, due to the drought, the water is very shallow, and it is difficult to even form a river. It is not an exaggeration to call it a stream.

The trees on the roadside swayed gently in the breeze, making a rustling sound, adding a touch of vividness to the quiet night.

Looking up, there is a bright moon hanging high in the sky. Its light is soft and bright, filling the entire county. The stars are even more dazzling under the moonlight. They are like pearls embedded in the night sky, shining with charming light.

The night view of the county town becomes more beautiful under the baptism of moonlight. Under the moonlight at the City God's Temple, two neat rows of government servants stand on both sides holding torches, and those in the middle are walking in rows like ants moving.

Xu Bo'an looked carefully and realized that these people were queuing up to burn incense. The county minister Wang Chaoyang who was walking at the front had already finished burning incense and was standing respectfully aside, watching those who came after him. Offer incense respectfully.

After about one stick of incense, these dozens of people were all finished at once, and at this time Xu Bo'an discovered that his incense power had actually increased to an astonishing one hundred and fifty wisps.

Since getting this bonsai, Xu Bo'an has never felt so rich.

Xu Bo'an was just trying to calculate how much incense power he had gained this time when he heard Chao Chao say loudly: "Your Excellency, Grandpa Mountain God, today Chao Chao will lead me to 50 highly respected people from Shanyang County, representing tens of thousands of people in Shanyang County." , gather here to celebrate the grand event of the temple fair and perform sacrificial rituals to usher in the prosperous times of the temple fair. Let’s pay tribute to the incense sticks today!”

Then, Wang Chao took out a piece of red silk cloth, slowly unfolded it, and began to read the words on it in a measured tone.

"Your Excellency, Grandpa Mountain God, on behalf of the people of Shanyang City, I would like to pay my sincere respect to the Mountain God. My gratitude is beyond words.

Grandpa, the mountain god, has protected us, Shanyang City, and it has never been lacking since ancient times. In Erpi County, the weather is good and the grain is abundant;
You grant to my people peace and harmony, happiness, longevity and health.

We are able to live and work in peace and contentment, and to multiply and thrive, all because of the mountain god's kindness and blessings.

Today we burn incense and make offerings with sincerity, and pray that the mountain gods will continue to protect Shanyang County, making the land more fertile and life happier.

I hope that the prosperity of the temple fair will inherit the culture of the mountain gods, promote the spirit of faith, and make our Shanyang County more prosperous.

I would like to offer my condolences to you. Grandpa, the mountain god, is here to show my sincerity. May the mountain god protect Shanyang County forever and may its blessings last forever. Future generations will share peace.

The head of the dynasty is here to tell the mountain god that you are in good hands! "

Wang Chao read one sentence of these words, and the country gentry, wealthy officials next to him read one sentence after him.

Until the end, after signing the speech with his own name, the matter is over.

Only after Xu Boan heard what these people said did he know what these people were here for.

It turns out that the temple fair here is about to start soon. The dynasty brought people to wish the temple fair a smooth opening and offered incense.

Bringing people to offer sacrifices and burn incense in the middle of the night is definitely a behavior that only occurs in places where incense is flourishing.

This move of the dynasty can be regarded as his intention.

After all, nowadays Shanyang County is full of waste and is full of places to spend money. His face will be used less every time.

At this moment, he is willing to summon these people to gather here, and he must have sold a lot of favors and face to get out.

After all, although the county official is the parent official of a county, he is basically the person with the most authority.

However, when the county official acts, he must also consider the impact.

Among these reputable people, there are some who have backgrounds. If they don't like today's arrangement, the dynasty's move will be harmful but not beneficial.

After all, money now should be spent wisely. Even if a new square is built here, after the temple fair, it will inevitably attract people's attention.

Xu Bo'an moved slightly, and immediately spoke loudly: "I am grateful for your sincerity, and I specially give you tobacco in exchange for gold and silver to help the development of Shanyang City."

Then, Xu Boan casually smoked a cigarette, pinched off the filter at the back, and placed the white pillar directly in front of the incense table.

The thing that was originally only one finger long turned into a white pillar that was thicker and taller than several adult men.

As soon as Xu Bo'an put this thing in, he saw a fat man couldn't help but twitch his nose and exclaimed: "Tembakur, this is the best Tembakut."

Some knowledgeable people also echoed this.

"Yes, I can smell it too. Tembakut, the best!"

"Oh my God, there is such pure tambaku leaves under the sky. It smells better than the tambaku leaves that I bought for one tael of gold and one penny last time in Kyoto."

"What does it mean to be under heaven! This is a gift from the mountain god. It should be said that this thing should only be found in the sky, and how many times can it be heard in the human world."

"I'll go, it makes sense."

"By the way, you just said that a good Tembak can only be purchased for one tael of gold. Then wouldn't we be rich?"

"Bullshit! Stop thinking about this thing. Grandpa Mountain God has his own instructions."

Dynasty looked at these backbones of the county management with confidence and listened to the instructions of Grandpa Mountain God as he wished. Xu Bo'an said softly to the dynasty: "The Tambaku you are talking about is called tobacco here. I know it is very expensive here. You can sell it through this temple fair.

The money earned can be used for post-disaster reconstruction of Shanyang City. From now on, I can provide some of this fine tobacco at every temple fair. This can be regarded as a report of my love for the incense to the people of Shanyang City. "

"Grandpa Mountain God's kindness and virtue will be unforgettable to the people of Shanyang City." Hearing this, Chao Chao shouted excitedly and knelt down to worship.

The hardest thing about being a leader is making money!

When being a local official, the most difficult thing is to develop the local economy so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment.

This is what the Dynasty is worried about now.

Shanyang County actually handed over a document, indicating that Shanyang City suffered from war.

However, the memorial sent to Qingmu Mansion had no effect. After all, Qingmu Mansion was also a disaster-stricken area and was unable to provide support.

When I handed the memorial to Qingyundao, I had the same problem, and it was hard to find any relief.

As for presenting it to the court, once the dynasty knows that the child is going to Kyoto, it will take several days to travel back and forth. When there is news, it will be at least a month later, and then it will take several months to wait for the money to be allocated. .

And it is more likely that even such a trivial matter as my own may not get into His Majesty's holy eyes.

After all, Da Jing Dynasty was so big, and the things that happened in Shanyang City happened in countless places every day.

Shanyang City is a big deal in my own eyes, but looking at the entire Da Jing Dynasty, it may not be so.

As a parent official here, I naturally have to take responsibility. Being an official for one term and benefiting one party is the most basic principle of holding office.

And all this requires is money!

Chao Chao knew that he couldn't wait just relying on funds from superiors. He was almost worried about money these days.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Grandpa Mountain God said something to help him solve the problem.

As a member of the dynasty who was born as a minor official, he naturally knew about the existence of Tembakut, and also knew that this thing was expensive.

Nowadays, Grandpa Mountain God has directly given so much top-quality Tambakut. Even if there are few stalls at the temple fair, this high-quality Tambakut alone is enough to make the almost empty ledger look better.

What's more, the mountain god grandpa said that every temple fair in the future will provide so many tempakul for sale.

This is equivalent to supporting the economic development of Shanyang City!

Dynasty even regretted a little. When he said that he would hold a temple fair for the mountain god, he only mentioned the first and fifteenth festivals.

If there were temple fairs every day, and with the great help of the mountain god Grandpa Tembakul, my own Shanyang City would not be so fat!
Of course, this was just a random thought in the excited state of the dynasty. Maybe if he attended temple fairs every day, Xu Boan wouldn't be too lazy to throw cigarettes in for him every day.

But even so, the dynasty is already very satisfied.

With money, my waist has become stronger, and my life will be much better in the future.

Thinking of this, Wang Chao excitedly knelt down to Xu Bo'an.

"Grandpa Mountain God brings great blessings to the sky! Thank you Grandpa Mountain God for your compassion for the people of Shanyang City!"

Xu Bo'an smiled and said: "Do a good job at the temple fair, I'm optimistic about you!"

Xu Bo'an made a rough calculation and found out that according to today's incense pledge, he would be able to receive almost this amount of incense pledge at every temple fair from now on. He was very excited just thinking about it!

It was getting late, and Xu Boyan was happily thinking about these things, and soon fell asleep in a daze.

Because he went to bed too late, Xu Boan got up from the bed at three o'clock in the morning the next day.

After a brief wash, Xu Bo'an couldn't wait to open the bonsai again, spent all his energy and incense, and took the initiative to come to the Shanyang City City God's Temple.

In the Chenghuang Square of Shanyang City, and even on the straight avenue directly in front of the square, the temple fair is in full swing.

In the bluestone-paved Chenghuang Square, dozens of small stalls are arranged neatly in rows and rows.

Further on, on both sides of the streets and in the alleys, stalls of all kinds are lined up, including red lanterns, green rice dumpling leaf-like things, yellow things that look like sugar paintings, and various things related to food, clothing, housing, and transportation, as well as storytellers. And the fortune teller, very complete.

The stall owners shouted one after another, or promoted their own crafts, or told various stories, attracting passers-by to stop and listen.

The air is filled with the aroma of various foods, the sweetness of sugar water, the aroma of barbecue, and the mellowness of wine shops, all intertwined to arouse people's appetite.

Children shuttled among the crowd, holding windmills made of straw and withered leaves, chasing each other and laughing like silver bells from time to time.

In the incense burner in front of the statue of the City God, the incense is still in full bloom and the smoke is lingering. From time to time, people come over and kneel down devoutly, praying for good weather and safety for their homes.

There was also an old man wearing gray linen clothes standing aside and seemed to be muttering chanting sutras and praying, adding a bit of solemnity and mystery to this lively temple fair.

On a high platform next to the square, some little guys who looked like theater actors wore various costumes and sang operas that sounded very ancient. The tunes were melodious. Although Xu Boan could not understand, he could see the singing above. It attracted cheers from the audience below.

This scene full of fireworks is like a moving picture. Xu Boan immediately thought of the famous "Along the River During the Qingming Festival".

Then, with a sudden thought, he took out his mobile phone, looked at this scene in the air, and pressed the camera button.

Soon, a vivid scene appeared on the screen.

Xu Bo'an looked at it, then reached in again, shot a fifteen-second short video, and immediately uploaded it to his Kuaiyin account without even bothering to modify it.

Caption: Life in the ancient city where the country is peaceful and the people are safe.

Just as he was about to log out of his account, Xu Boan was attracted by the red dots on the side, which was a reminder of new messages.

Xu Bo'an clicked in and found that he already had a lot of private messages on his Kuaiyin account.

Basically, it was all because of the video that Xu Boan posted yesterday of the courtesan Chen Shishi dancing. People who praised it were just asking for information.

Xu Boan flipped through it casually and didn't bother to pay attention.

Just as he was about to exit, he saw a shocking message that caught Xu Boan's attention.

"Oh my god, is this the legendary 'Nancy Dress and Feather Dance'! It's so similar, so similar! Please reply!" (End of this chapter)
