Chapter 803: A New Year and a New Year
Mermaids "self-reproduce" again!
Liang Qu was greatly surprised.
It was quite surprising to bring in the Leng tribe last time. It was understandable that they were the "remnants" of Pengze, but I never thought that after living in Jianghuai for nearly three years, Quan Linghan still has endless potential to be tapped!
"Why would Chief Quan think of going out to look for mermaids?"
"The production of mermaid silk in the tribe is insufficient."
"Not enough shark silk?" Liang Qu was surprised.
"Mermaids shed their scales twice a year, and the amount of mermaid silk they can weave is limited. The imperial court's trade volume is too large, and the annual production is just a drop in the ocean. It can't fill the gap in demand at all. From the beginning to the end, the consumption is all the reserves of the past few decades.
Therefore, the search for other mermaid tribes has not stopped two years ago. Now, with the protection of Lord Liang and the grace of the court, there is a chance to recreate the former prosperity of Jianghuai. People live for their own pleasure. As long as we can find them, it won't be too difficult to win them over. "
"I see."
of course.
There is another important reason that Quan Linghan didn't mention.
The number of mermaid tears in the tribe that Liang Qu had not touched was decreasing. In a few years, they would probably fall into the same situation.
In order to avoid being tortured, the Mermaid's Tears can only be 'left behind' by a mermaid of certain strength, and the conditions are harsh.
Although Liang Qu did not require annual payment, it would be easy for the relationship to become estranged if he did not show up once a year.
Having a fortune of a thousand taels is not as good as earning a penny a day.
"Since County Magistrate Quan has confidence, that's great. If any merman tribe is willing to relocate and become citizens of Dashun, Hebo will provide protection.
There is no need to worry about the Grand Theater. I will report to the court and allocate funds for support. During this period, County Magistrate Quan will encourage young mermaids to create good scripts. After all, they have read so many story books. "
"Thank you, sir!"
Quan Linghan happily said goodbye.
The water in the lake was surging, and the rising river water was surging, submerging the surface of the Liangqu shoe.
"Jiangchuan Grand Theater, the permanent residence of sea merchants, Lanzhou Port...all are open."
Think about it for a while.
Liang Qu couldn't even imagine how prosperous Pingyang Prefecture would be in a few years!
It is a port where the north-south canal intersects with the south and the north, and it is a permanent base for maritime trade. Apart from the imperial capital and the center of Nanzhili, there is probably no other prefecture in the world that can compare to it!
Full of vitality, everything is flourishing.
Although he does not work in the office, he is always working hard for work and prosperity!
Dry your shoes.
Jump down the slide into the Ice Crystal Palace, shake off the snowflakes, and face the rising hot mist.
Half a quarter of an hour after leaving, many new dishes were added to the table, and everyone's face turned red.
"Ah Shui, where did you go to eat secretly!" Xu Zishuai raised his cup and knocked on the table, "We are waiting for you! Everyone will raise their glasses and sing congratulatory words soon! If you can't sing, you will be unlucky for the whole year. Don't blame us for not waiting for you!"
"Here I come!" Liang Qu quickly returned to his seat, "Master, what is the congratulatory message this year?"
Yang Dongxiong declined: "The King of Yue and the Master are both here, how can I take over your duties?"
"Then teacher, master, can you sing one?" Liang Qu saw that his master was under pressure, so he didn't force him.
"On such a festive occasion, it is only right that the King of Yue should come to celebrate." The old monk said modestly.
The King of Yue shook his head: "The master suddenly opened the golden rope and achieved the status of an arhat. Who wouldn't envy and admire him? Since it's a festive occasion, why not let the children share in the joy?"
"Yes, yes, yes! Master, don't be stingy and let us have some of your good luck!"
Xu Zishuai was the first to respond.
"Master, come on!"
"It's time for the master to sing!"
"Oh, don't say it, really don't say it, on the day when the master came out of retreat, all the minor illnesses of the people in the city were cured, and someone in the martial arts hall even broke through the realm! He entered the fourth level and ran into the horse!"
Someone took the lead and everyone started to urge the old monk to speak, creating a lot of noise.
The old monk was promoted to Martial Saint in early February, less than ten days before and after. Singing a happy song will bring him great martial fortune!
That’s it for now.
It’s not beautiful to push it further.
The old monk stood up, raised his cup, pondered for a moment, and said with a smile.
"It is a good time to start a new year and receive blessings. From now on, everything will be better than before. May your life be strong and happy and the year begins!"
"it is good!"
Everyone raised their hands.
Liang Qu patted Wen Shiyun on the head, and Wen Shiyun quickly retracted his gaze, stepped on the stool and stretched out his little hand.
The glasses clinked.
Mix wine, tea and fruit juice.
"It is a good time to start a new year and receive blessings. From now on, everything will be better than before. May your life be strong and happy and the year begins!"
……
"Sister A-Di, I've taken Shunzi and Xiaokui away with me!"
"Nothing, just take him away, there will be less noise at home."
"Okay, anyway, Sister Di, don't wait for two days and think too much about it. Just cry secretly."
"Don't worry, she won't cry!" Chen Qingjiang hugged A Di and smiled. "Okay! Let's go!"
Liang Qu took the two people's hands, jumped onto the Red Hill, and went up to the pier.
Ice Crystal Palace.
Blue cat and brown rat.
It was definitely something new and novel that the world had never seen before, so Liang Qu originally wanted to invite Chen Qingjiang's family to celebrate the New Year together, but then he thought about it and decided not to force it.
Even with the King of Yue and the old monk present, Yang Dongxiong and Su Guishan felt under a lot of pressure, let alone Chen Qingjiang's family. They wouldn't be able to fit in if they went there, and it would be better for them to stay at home.
It is not appropriate to let the two children go alone. There is no reason to take other people's children away on reunion night.
There will be no problem if you bring it on the first day of the new year.
He rolled up his cloak to protect the two from the cold, and then he raised his hooves and walked on the water.
"Come again, come again!"
"Wuhu!"
On the ice, Ke Wenbin jumped into the ice cave and slid all the way into the Ice Crystal Palace at lightning speed.
Early this morning, all the colleagues from the River and Lake Bureau rushed over. When Liang Qu went to Pingyang County to pick someone up, he saw Ke Wenbin playing on the slide. He was still playing when he came back. When he saw him, he was not "grateful" at all. He jumped out of the north cave and started cursing.
"Liang Ashui, you really deserve to die!"
"Hey, what's the point... Be careful." Liang Qu took off his cloak, picked up the two boys who were looking around and put them on the ice, then looked up, "Is it the wrong person to invite you here?"
"Such a great place, why didn't you tell your brothers earlier? You like to eat alone, right? I won't leave if you don't arrange a room for me tonight!"
"If you really like it, why don't you find a wife who is a master at making ice?"
“Hey!” Ke Wenbin’s eyes widened, he covered his heart and sat down on the ground, “Evil creature!”
"Alright, alright, stop occupying the toilet without taking a shit!"
"I'll let you! My Ke family is a small family, we can't afford to offend Lord Xingyi."
Xiao Shunzi and Xiao Kui stepped on the snow and moved to the big hole with a creaking sound.
Needless to say, Habit was a bold one and he slid right in as soon as he sat down.
Liang Qu also didn't need to worry about whether the two of them would be able to get along well with the group.
Wen Shiyun visits Jianghuai once every six months on average.
Although every time they meet, like a wolf cub who has been away from home for too long needs to get familiar with the scent of his companion, as long as both parties are placed in the same space and cannot be separated, they will naturally spend one to several hours cautiously "smell each other" for a while, get through the awkward period, get along well again, and "recall" the happy times in the past.
No surprises.
After Liang Qu and Ke Wenbin chatted for a while, the three of them were already sitting in a row in front of the screen watching together, and Wen Shiyun was giving them a spoiler in a vivid manner.
"You kid, what do you mean by a godly life? You practice fast and enjoy yourself better than others."
Xu Yuelong held Liang Qu's shoulders.
"Time is a waste, like flowing water. Isn't cultivation for this?" Liang Qu laughed and sat on the bench. "Come on, Ke Wenbin, do you want to play cards?"
"I'm coming!"
"Ah Shui, you have a lot of ideas. Do you have any plans for tonight? Just eating?"
"Will you set off fireworks? We have prepared half a room full of them. It will be more interesting than setting off fireworks in Pingyang Mansion."
"Anything else?"
"let me see……"
Time flies, winter goes and spring comes.
After the comfortable New Year holiday, time flew to late February.
Those who want to go to the government office go to the government office, and those who want to go to school go to school. The tired life returns to normal.
Wen Shiyun grabbed Long Lingxiao, patted the black dog's head, and said goodbye with big eyes, reluctant to say goodbye.
Judging from the situation, it’s a good thing that Liang Qu didn’t draw too many episodes. There were only fifty episodes, and I watched them over and over again in less than half a month. Otherwise, the separation scene would have been even more difficult.
The King of Yue left.
The old monk also said that he wanted to go back to Datong Prefecture to visit the Hanging Temple.
The courtyard became deserted again.
The cold wind blew, and Liang Qu stood alone for a while, always feeling that he had missed something important.
half an hour.
hiss!
Jian Zhongyi's matter.
The old monk didn’t seem to give him an answer?
"Forget it, there's no rush for the time being."
As the temperature gradually warms up, lush grass begins to grow around the corners.
Late March.
The Xuanhuang Qi replaced by Liangqu in February is sent to Pingyang.
Umibozu also led the caravan to arrive as promised.
