The Great Seminary

Chapter 57 The Big Show
When Zhang Gui heard the name Zhao Sanshi, the image of a young man who was neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin, with a regular appearance but not outstanding appeared in his mind.

Since we know each other, it’s not good to be too ruthless.

Moreover, unlike the recruitment of soldiers by offering huge benefits, from his past life to this life, the forced conscription by drawing lots had a 90% chance of those who passed crying and those who failed laughing.

In this case, it is difficult to say that it is cheating to allow those who fail to pass the exam to join the army.

Therefore, after a moment of hesitation, Zhang Gui said:

"Since he wants to defend his country after just becoming a naturalized citizen, we can't refuse him too much.

Old Sang Gui, just let Zhao Sanshi serve.

But it needs to be treated more strictly.

Let him know that exceptions are rare and should be cherished."

"Yes." Sang Gui glared at Song Wenhua angrily and responded to the king's order.

Although Old Song clearly felt Sang Gui's anger, he didn't take it seriously in his heart.

Regardless of the size of the organization, the underlying rules are the same.

When the boss is busy traveling outside and unable to take charge of the overall situation, how can the remaining leading figures make friends with each other?

It would be better if they were not in harmony with each other.

At this time, other civil and military officials of the Zhenlong Kingdom also rushed to the west wing hall of Guiyang Palace in groups of three or five.

Everyone bowed to Zhang Gui.

Zhang Gui smiled widely and bowed, "Everyone is here.

At the beginning of the new year, I would like to wish you all a happy new year.

Frankly speaking, everyone's adaptability and sincerity in following me have far exceeded my expectations.

So let’s have dinner together today.

Then I helped all those who had not yet become single stone corpse warriors to become so on the spot.

And Master Gui Sang, in the last month, you have to pick out the hundred best recruits.

I will also grant them the body of a stone corpse."

In fact, it is impossible for everyone present to sincerely change their allegiance within a few days.

The enthusiasm they showed was just like the old leader Song Huawen was given a shot of chicken blood, whipping them into a spinning top.

Some young and healthy people don't even want the identity of a Stone Corpse Warrior, because who knows what consequences may arise.

But the situation is stronger than the people.

At this moment, everyone's family is in the hands of others, and they are living a good life, just like a frog being boiled in warm water.

Apart from expressing my deepest gratitude and expressing my sincere thanks, what else can I do?
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is the eighth day of the first lunar month.

After a long rest, merchants in Pingyang Town lit up big red firecrackers to celebrate their business openings.

The fish market pier at the edge of town.

The boat owners and stall owners even pooled their money to hire a troupe of opera singers to perform the entire "Fu Bo Ping Hai" and "Selling the Golden Toad".

Fu Bo Ping Hai, as the name suggests, means praying that in the new year, boatmen will have smooth sailing and fishing without encountering waves.

Selling the Golden Toad tells the story of a fishmonger in ancient times who was from a poor family and couldn't even get married, but he still did his business honestly.

As a result, one time when he was selling a big sea bream and helping a customer to scrape the scales and remove the dirt, he found a golden toad, and this story began.

Before the show started, every merchant prepared his own firecrackers, including Zhang Gui's family.

The dock is filled with a fishy smell.

In the month when the crow wind rages, even though it doesn't rain, the moisture in the sea still rushes straight to the shore with the strong wind.

It is said that Zhang Qitai, the new head of the Zhang family in Pingyang, was invited from the county to look at his fortune for the New Year, but ended up staying in the town for the New Year. The fortune teller, who was hired for a large sum of money by the chief steward of the dock, calculated that the auspicious time was approaching.

The owner used force to disperse the coiled dragon whips one by one.

The bigger the firecrackers are and the more there are of them, the more prestigious and arrogant one becomes.

Zhang Gui's business was booming last year, so Yang Duojie bought a total of 90,000 heads of the No. 1 marijuana.

When it was lit, the crackling sound made people's ears buzz and smoke rose into the sky.

The children on the shore who were watching the fun jumped up and down, cheering and cheering.

"Good, good, this cannon is good, loud and big."
"Yes, yes, Auntie Yang is so grand this year."
"Oh, the thunder is so loud, I can't hear what you are saying."
The whole place was noisy and bustling.

The ground was covered with red firecracker shells so thick that they covered ankles.

The smell of gunpowder like white mist drove away the fishy smell and made people's noses itch. Zhang Gui also laughed among the crowd of people, but in his heart he didn't quite understand.

A head of moxa is worth one penny of white flour.

Ninety thousand heads of moleizi are equivalent to nine hundred kilograms of fine flour, which is worth three taels of silver.

I didn't know that he had already become successful and had built up a considerable business in Yeyang.

Why would you give up such a huge sum of money just to listen to the sound?

However, when Zhang Gui accidentally caught a glimpse of Yang Duojie's high-spirited look, he felt it was worth it.

Not understood but worth it.

To be able to make this old lady so proud and happy, even thirty taels of gold would be worth it.

The auspicious time has arrived.

On the stage that was just set up yesterday, the cheerful sounds of gongs and drums rang out, "Dong-qiang Dong-qiang Dong-dong-qiang."

"The show is about to begin, the show is about to begin!"

Yang Duojie squeezed into the crowd and shouted excitedly, holding a stool in one hand and holding her son with the other, and leading her two younger siblings and five nieces, they rushed to the stage excitedly.

It is said to be the opening of the market, but it is actually just a symbol.

On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, no fishing boats will go out to sea and no stall owners will set up their stalls.

We just get together once a year to have some fun.

Out of 365 days in a year, 357 of them are spent struggling to make a living.

Even if you have rested for eight consecutive days, what's wrong with taking one more day to have fun?

The show is on stage.

Although it was a very cold day, the troupe that performed in such a place outside was bound to have no famous actors.

But the harder it is, the more we know how to cherish it. Everyone on the stage really tried their best, and each of them sang with full energy and loud voice.

The cheers naturally became louder and louder.

As a result, the place became more and more popular, more and more people gathered, and more and more people started selling snacks and food.

Seeing that my mother was listening intently, Zhang Gui leaned over and whispered:
"Amu, I'm tired of sitting. I want to stretch my legs."

Yang Duojie nodded indifferently, but when her son got up to leave, she still pulled the stool under her feet and stepped on it.

I squeezed out of the crowd watching the show and felt refreshed when the cool wind blew.

Zhang Gui strolled to the seaside, sensing the location of his inheritance thousands of miles away, and thought greedily: "No, the level of the divine power in this region is not enough.

If you want to trigger the power of the rules of "capital elements", you must be in the realm of true dragon in the mystical sense.

I feel that the concept of "capital" in this world should be coined by me.

Then shouldn't the characteristic of 'uniqueness' gradually emerge after elementalization?

The three basic principles of capital elements, 'value-added, exchange, and circulation', should also be like this.

Now according to my understanding, 'circulation' represents freedom.

After becoming human, it was combined with divine power to extend teleportation.

'Exchange' represents transformation.

Allow me to transform the human symbols of 'capital elements', gold and silver, into elemental power and divine power.

However, it is difficult to do the reverse operation.

This should be caused by the difference in the nature of matter and consciousness.

Finally, 'value-added' represents compound interest.

The effect is still insignificant now, but I can already feel the accumulated elements, the accumulation of divine power itself, increasing automatically without any reason.

Alas, I don’t know whether these speculations of mine based on practice are correct.

Or the knowledge reserve is not enough.

Even the supernatural knowledge of Dongshengzhou is only partially understood, let alone other continents."

"What are you thinking about, kid?"

Suddenly a slightly shrill voice interrupted Zhang Gui's thoughts.
