My name is Ren

Chapter 43 The Performing Artist

The weather is good today. The most beautiful weather in late autumn is like the sun shining brightly. The sun shines on people's bodies and makes their bodies warm.Ren took Celeste out to let the wind go, and inspected his territory by the way.The little girl was overjoyed. When he was in Milin City, the capital of Bell Province, Salcomo would not let her go out on the streets casually.Not all the plots with eroticism in chivalry novels are fake, there are always some people with special talents who can please a little girl in the shortest time.

So Salcomo kept Celeste at home most of the time, and the chances of getting out were few and far between.

"Good morning, Lord City Lord!"

Ren didn't even turn his head, he just glanced sideways at the person who greeted him from the corner of his eye.It was a 27-year-old young man with a strong body, carrying a pack of small clay bricks on his shoulders, weighing at least one hundred catties.The young man had a sincere smile on his face, and even though Ren didn't look him in the eye, he smiled understandingly.

Nobles, how could they look straight at commoners like them?

The young man didn't harbor any resentment because of this, that's too nonsense, the common people are too far away from the world of the nobles, no matter whether they like it or hate it, they can't reach it.The reason why the young man dared to greet him with a smile was because in his eyes, Ren was a good city lord and a good nobleman.He spent money to repair the city that was home to the common people, wiped out the forces in the city, and allowed them to earn money and have a bite to eat. In this world, it is simply a miracle that only the light and the gods can appear.

This city is not the fiefdom of Baron Wren, even if he develops it well, he will leave here one day.Everything he did could not be taken away, but could only be left behind. Many people were shocked by what he did, and at the same time had sincere admiration for this young city lord.

Passing by, Celeste, who was following Ren, looked back at the young man who couldn't stop smiling, and quickly followed a few steps, walking beside Ren, with a voice so sweet that he could get tired of it Come out honey, "Brother Ren, they all like you!"

The girl seemed a little proud, and a little reserved, with a pink face.Ren's steps were bigger and faster than hers. In order to keep up with Ren, her own steps were also faster than before, and she was a little out of breath.The red and white simple dress and the lace skirt made the girl look extremely cute. The flaxen hair was carefully combed by the maid, and it was slightly curled, which further brought out the fairness and delicateness of her skin.With a healthy complexion and the most primitive and unprocessed makeup, no matter who sees her, she will become happy.

Ren hummed a few syllables in his nasal cavity, "Fortunately, I am the Lord of the City!"

"It's a respectable city lord!"

Being complimented by the little girl, Ren wanted to hold back his smile, but the corners of his mouth couldn't be stopped from upturning. When he was with Celeste, his mood always became inexplicably like today's weather.The pure heart of a girl is crystal clear, without any blemishes. While making people feel close, the crystal-like heart is not allowed to be tarnished in the slightest.

After hesitating for a long time, her steps were a little chaotic, Celeste gently bit her pink lower lip with her glowing white teeth, her face was stained with an intoxicating blush, and she reached out to hold Ren's arm.She exhausted all her strength and courage. Although there are sluts and whores in this world, there are also innocent girls who cannot bear to be hurt.

Ren's pace paused, his speed slowed down, and he began to accommodate the girl consciously or unconsciously. It seemed that he felt the change in Ren's pace. The girl pursed her lips, but her eyes were bent into two crescent moons, and her footsteps became much lighter. .

"Ah! Is this your wife, my lord? She's so cute!" An octogenarian sitting on the side of the road basking in the sun leaning on a cane couldn't help but praise the lovely Celeste.

Now everyone in Ortrenburg knows that although the city lord is young, he should not be underestimated.He won't get angry for no reason, and he doesn't have bad intentions, but even so, for this suffering city, Ren is already a rare good person in their eyes.

Facing the old man's praise, Ren had to nod his head slightly. He could ignore those young people, but he couldn't despise those old people.People need to have some awe, which is not a bad thing, awe will make people cautious, not arrogant.The baptism of the old people has accumulated a lifetime of experience and experience. They may not understand the truth, but just the age of the years is worthy of attention.

As if frightened by Ren's nod, the old man stood up tremblingly on crutches. He wanted to salute Ren, but Ren waved his hand, "Excuse me."

Because of this episode, Ren stopped in his tracks.

Some old people around slowly leaned over, and Blair kept a straight face, protecting Ren's side.Ren pushed him away and walked to the old man, "Who else is in the family?"

The old man was flattered, and there was a trace of showing off on his face. He quickly said seriously: "There are two sons and one daughter, three grandsons, three granddaughters and two grandchildren." The old man habitually wanted to stroke He stroked his beard and raised his hand until he felt that this action did not seem to respect the Lord City Lord, so he stopped and said very seriously: "I, as well as my family, are very grateful for your move, Lord City Lord. Now They are all contributing to this city, you have improved the environment we live in, and at the same time you have given us enough to eat."

"I have lived for 71 years and have lived in three cities, but this is the first time I have seen a wise, great, generous and benevolent city lord like you. I have always asked my children and grandchildren to tell them that in their lifetime, they must serve You work!"

Ren was a little surprised. The old man spoke slowly and clearly, not like an ordinary old man.Ren's doubts were quickly resolved, and the old man on the side interjected: "Father Vincent once served as a community councilor, and what he said is very important."

A community councilor is a recognized and respected person in the community who actively participates in council activities and official inquiries.Later, the city lords and lords of various places felt that the existence of community councilors would have an impact on their own rule, and soon this policy was abolished.Since then, the council hall has deviated from the original intention of Orlando I to set up this department, and has become a way for some gang forces and wealthy businessmen to become powerful, and is no longer a voice for common people.

Such people have great influence in the community, and their words are often more effective than official decrees.However, most of the time, from the promulgation to the implementation of the decree, except for the spontaneous compliance and implementation of the civilians seeing the benefits, most of the time it is promoted by official violence.

The old people around saw that it was not difficult for Ren to speak, nor did he look like he didn't even want to see them, so they suddenly took courage.They are all old people who have lived for decades. They have experienced too many things in their lifetime, and their experience, experiences, and winks are all richer than those of young people.They chattered indifferently, some were praising Rennes, some were complaining about the policies of the previous city lords and Bell Capital, and some were imagining the future.

Ren listened carefully. It was a voice from the people, and he thought about writing down some things.Standing aside and watching Ren earnestly communicate with the old people on an equal footing, Celeste's dissatisfaction with Salcomo's tough arrangement disappeared.She proudly looked at this man who was almost ten years older than herself, thinking in her heart that this would be her husband, a man worthy of her respect, maintenance, care and love throughout her life.

"I have an idea!" Ren spoke for the first time after listening to a lot of suggestions, and the already bustling streets could be heard immediately, and he smiled faintly, "I will reopen the council hall and re-elect the community councilors. Orr Ortrenburg has suffered too much, and finally ushered in the light. This light belongs to me, and it also belongs to every Ortrenburger. We are not duckweed without roots, and this is our home."

"I know that many people look down on the people of Ortrenburg, thinking that this is the countryside and a place full of crime. It is undeniable that the pain caused by the mistakes of history has continued to this day, but!", the voice of Rennes Calm and powerful, when he mentioned this but, he suddenly raised his head, "Today, everything that used to be will become history, and we will turn a new page and move towards an unprecedented glory!"

"I have been thinking about what I need to do to develop Ortrenburg!" Many old people showed expressions of listening carefully. What Ren said next may affect their lives. It even affected the entire Ortrenburg.

Ren looked around, and gradually more people gathered. He said loudly: "Ortrenburg's excellent geographical environment makes it impossible for her to become a farming city. Ortrenburg, which is not afraid of suffering or pain People should become the economic center of Bell Province and even the southwest of the empire just like the people of Alexander. I will try my best to attract as many businessmen as possible to settle in Ortrenburg, develop light industry and textile industry, and form a real Ortrenburg People's business group."

"I want every Ortrenburger to feel proud when they talk about their hometown outside!"

"There is no good in this world for no reason, and there is no hatred for no reason. I will give you a life you have never imagined, and the most precious dignity. But at the same time, I also hope that all of you, the entire Oort Loyalty of the Lunburgs!"

"If you treat me well, I will give him a hundredfold gift. If you treat me badly, I will destroy him mercilessly!"

"I swear by the ancestors of the Golden Family and the sacred blood!"

……

Back in the city lord's mansion, Ren ripped open the neckline and sat on the sofa panting slightly.Today he almost walked through several of the largest communities in Ortrenburg, promoting his political ideas and aspirations all day long. This is a political show, an essential political show.Not everything he said is false, it can be said that 90.00% of it is true.He is very clear that if he wants to truly control the city, it is not enough to rely on other forces or official forces. The common people are much more cunning than those gentlemen imagined.

Indeed, nobility was based on money and privilege.

But Ren is more aware of the meaning of pleasing the people. These relatively penniless civilians are more reliable than those huge forces and nobles at critical moments.

This will be the first fortune that truly belongs to him after he came to this world.
