Chapter 362 Master's Efforts
"What stupid things are you talking about? If a woman doesn't marry, does she still want to be an old girl?" After she glanced at her, Concubine Yun seemed very angry at her strange idea, and then asked with a straight face: "Xiangxiang, secretly give Empress mother, tell me if there is anyone she likes in her heart? Empress mother can go tell the emperor and let him come to propose marriage. "

"I've said that I won't marry, so I don't have anyone I like." Shaking her head, Xiang Xiang said coquettishly.

"If you don't have a favorite candidate, then the Queen Mother and the Emperor Father can decide for you? Choose a good family for you, and marry off after a while." Concubine Yun seemed to ask.

"Mother, why do you seem to want me to marry early? Don't you like Xiangxiang?" Seeing that the mother was so anxious to marry herself, Xiangxiang said aggrievedly with her mouth raised so that she could hang a vinegar bottle.

"Silly girl, why does the queen mother not like you? The boy will be married when the daughter is married, and the mother is also thinking about your future. After this age, it will not be easy to find a good family." Concubine Yun He couldn't help explaining to her that she really wanted to marry her daughter off early, and if she didn't marry off her daughter, she wouldn't be able to leave this deep palace compound with Cheng Cheng.The daughter is very young now, so naturally she doesn't panic, but she has been locked in the deep palace for more than ten years, and she doesn't want to delay her happy life anymore.

"But I don't want to marry. Queen Mother, don't force me, okay?" Xiang Xiang still insisted, as if she was really reluctant to get married so early.

"Why are you so disobedient? You have to listen to your mother on this matter. I will discuss it with your father and I will choose a good family for you in a few days. Don't worry, getting married is not such a terrible thing. Wait until you get married. Only when you have someone will you understand that it is a very happy thing to have someone who loves you and takes care of you." Concubine Yun couldn't help persuading her with a bit of reproach in her tone.

"Don't listen, don't listen. Anyway, I don't want to marry. If you bother me, I will run away from home and never come back." Covering her ears, Xiangxiang rebelliously ran away, not wanting to listen to her mother's preaching anymore. Some shocking words came out of his mouth.

"This child, I really shouldn't have spoiled her since she was a child. What should I do?" Concubine Yun saw Xiangxiang running away with her ears covered, a trace of worry appeared on her face. If she didn't marry her daughter, how could she dare to marry her? Escaped from this deep palace compound with Cheng Cheng?That would hurt my daughter.

As long as Xiangxiang is married, she will not have any worries. For the water thrown out by her married daughter, Xiangxiang married into a big family, and Nangong Lingtian dare not blame Xiangxiang for her escape. .

But her daughter was disobedient, which made her very sad. She was fed up with the life in this deep palace compound, and she didn't want to stay for a moment, but she had to be involved in her daughter's affairs, and she didn't know when it would be the end.I can't help but miss Cheng Cheng in my heart, wondering how he is doing now?
Cheng Sheng is living a good life now, like a fish in water, these two days and Mary Lou have stuck together like a dog's skin plaster, of course life is fulfilling and nourishing.

Above the main hall of the city lord's mansion, Marylou was watching the memorial in front of the case. As the city lord, in addition to spending time on the construction of the city defense without any mistakes, she also had to sort out many plans to drive the city's economy. At the same time, the size of the city She had to review and approve the affairs in person, which showed that the burden on her shoulders was not light.Fortunately, the burden of the auction house was unloaded and Sissy took over, otherwise she really didn't know if she would be able to survive.

Cheng Sheng, however, sat beside her and supervised, like a parent supervising the students doing their homework, expressing some of his own opinions from time to time, which kept Marylou with a happy smile on her face.After peeling a grape, she handed it to Marylou and said, "Open your mouth."

Marylou closed the completed paperwork, turned her head, pursed her lips and shook her head, "You feed me."

Cheng Cheng had no choice but to put the grapes in his mouth and feed them to her. This made the two of them more intimate, and it was also a kind of lubricant, which made Marylou enjoy it.While eating the grapes, she kissed him and parted her lips for a moment, the grapes became even sweeter in her mouth, and even her heart seemed to be filled with this sweetness.

"Now that Jade Girl City is gradually getting on the right track, it's time to readjust the officials of all sizes in the city. I found that many positions in the city are still vacant, and no one is qualified. These positions should be filled. You can't let everything happen to you." Come and approve it yourself. The city guard team is in charge of the Heroes Association, you don’t need to bother about this, you just need to fill the positions of officials of all sizes in the city, so you will save a lot of worry.” With one arm around her waist, Cheng Cheng sees that all affairs in the city, big and small, have to go through her hands to review and approve them personally. Isn't this looking for guilt?
"I've thought about this too? But the economy of Jade Maiden City is so bad that no one wants to be an official in Jade Maiden City. Everyone knows this. The acting city lord Guo Funong was an example. Serving as an official in Jade Maiden City It's better to go home and pick up the shit. This is a fact recognized by the officials of the Douwu Empire. With the salary of the imperial court every month, they have to do things that are several times more than other city officials. Who wants to spread such a stall? Huh?" Marylou shrugged her shoulders, it wasn't that she had a tendency to abuse herself and was willing to take on so much work, but that she really couldn't help it.

"In less than two years, I will turn Jade Maiden City into a place that all officials yearn for. Let them regret it? Since Jade Maiden City is my territory, I no longer need to recruit talents according to the salary of the imperial court. You will post a notice tomorrow Recruiting talents, as long as they are capable and willing to serve as officials in Jade Maiden City, they can receive double the salary of the imperial court every month." Since Jade Maiden City is already her own territory, the rules must be set by herself, so she tightened her grip. With a small waist, let her delicate body cling to his body, Cheng Cheng smiled.

"In this way, will it attract the attention of the court?" Mary Lou felt that she should not be too ostentatious now, if the court noticed the Jade Girl City, it would cause unnecessary trouble.

"What are you afraid of? This is the territory that the emperor bestowed on you as a man. Can you still go back on your word? You will have to face it sooner or later. What difference does it make if it is sooner or later?"

"Well, that's good. I'll draft a recruitment announcement tomorrow. As long as they can receive twice the salary of the imperial court, I believe many people will overcome the poverty of Jade Girl City and apply for the job." Marylou nodded, feeling that he said Makes sense.

Even if they can receive twice the salary of the imperial court, it is estimated that there will not be many people willing to come to the Jade Maiden City to be an official. First of all, the Jade Maiden City is poor and backward, and all walks of life are unwilling to settle down in the city. What kind of kickbacks are there to eat, and if there is no money for corruption, what is the point of being an official with that little salary every month?Secondly, Jade City belongs to the inherent territory after the division. Although it still belongs to the Douwu Empire, it is not the same as the imperial system, so it makes people feel uneasy.

"report"

"Come in and tell me something." Marylou put down the notebook in her hand and called out of the hall.

Afterwards, a guard walked into the hall, saluted and said, "Report to the lord and the city lord, the patriarch of the goblin tribe, Lord Ruvis, is here."

"Oh, invite him in quickly." Cheng Cheng's eyes lit up and he said happily.

"Yes!" The guard went out of the palace, and after a while, the thin Ruvis walked in with a small cane, with toad glasses on the bridge of his nose, and his mottled hair was a little messy, looking a little funny.

Cheng Cheng hurried forward to meet him, pointed to a seat and said enthusiastically, "Patriarch Ruwais, please sit down."

After sitting down and taking a sip of tea, Ruweis got to the point and said, "My lord, what do you want me to do when you come to the city?"

"There are only two things to hand over to the patriarch."

"What? Who would have something for the adults to hand over to me?" Ruweis blinked suspiciously, not sure why someone asked Cheng Cheng to hand over things to him. What kind of friend, he is naturally full of fog.

"Oh, it's like this. I was lucky enough to see the remains of Master Ruud. There is a message on the ground next to the bones, so that those who have the chance to see his bones can bring back two things to the patriarch of the goblin clan. Fortunately, I know Lu Wei Patriarch Si, otherwise it would be hard to find you." Cheng Cheng laughed.

He said it easily, but Ruwais couldn't hear it easily. When he heard Master Ruud, he immediately stood up from the stool, his old face flushed, and he asked in a trembling voice: "My lord, what is it?" Say, have you seen Master Ruud's skeleton?"

"That's right!" Cheng Cheng nodded seriously.

"Where is it?" He asked again, Ruvis seemed to be shocked by the news.

"In the desert, patriarch, don't worry, Master Ruud has been buried in the ground, so don't worry too much." After speaking, Cheng Cheng took out the two books that Ruud wanted to give to the goblins, and handed them to Lu Wei Si said: "Patriarch, please look, this is what Master Ruud left behind, and it is handed over to you."

Rould is the 92nd generation patriarch of the goblin clan, so he is naturally the ancestor of Ruvis, plus Ruud is the best inventor in fighting demons, and he has created many inventions and improvements that benefit mankind in his life, which can be said to be right The progress of history has also made great contributions. Such a great man is naturally the pride of the goblins.

So far, no one among the goblins can surpass the feats Ruud has made.

The relics left by such ancestors are naturally precious treasures. Hearing that Master Ruud died in the desert, Ruwais looked sad, and it was a little comfort to know that he had already buried in the ground.
