Chapter 1024: Poetry Inspired, Traveling to the Imperial Capital (Two in One)
Sunset and dusk.
Deep in the Tianshui Chaolu Canyon, the sound of tinkling sounds continues and hot water is rising into the sky.
The big fish with the steel helmet on its head swung its tail vigorously, and with a violent sprint, the sharp spike of the steel helmet pierced into the rock. The big fish was exhausted and half stuck in it, unable to move. After a few swings, the rock broke apart. Then another big fish came, but the steel helmet was no longer a spike, but a flat shovel. They took over from each other in an orderly manner.
Occasionally a piece of white jade would turn out, causing a group of fish to cheer.
If any ore is dug out, it would be even more amazing. After cross-identification by the big fish, if it is a good thing, the reward will be given immediately, and even the "accommodation" and "food" standards can be improved!
In addition to simply digging for treasure, the entire canyon also serves as the "outpost" of the Huai Army. Currently, it is digging for treasures from the fairy island, but ultimately it is responsible for searching for white apes, so naturally it has to live there for a long time.
Ever since.
High-end caves are carved directly out of the rock wall for water beasts to inhabit.
From low to high, there are five levels in total.
The best one is naturally for the chief and deputy commander. Even if the two fish do not come often, they still have to build a villa, which is big and wide, not side by side horizontally or vertically. It is a "big villa" with all the necessary facilities inside. The meals are delivered by special fish, and they are all meals for practice. There are precious fish in every meal.
After that is the second tier monster, the "stacked villas" that are not arranged side by side. The meals include cooked food that is rare in the water and tastes delicious.
The third-level water monsters and big goblins are "large flats". They are not as high-end as the first and second levels, but their advantage is that each cave is extremely spacious and has a good view, where you can see the sun on the water.
These three caves all have a certain standard of living.
Get comfortable.
The situation starts to get different in the fourth tier, where people are crowded, but fortunately they are still "single rooms" where people can live their lives behind closed doors. The fifth tier is not only crowded, but more than a dozen people can live in one cave, and people have to queue up to go out during the day. It's a standard "labor dormitory" or "big bunk bed".
Each level has room for construction and is not entirely based on strength. If a goblin makes great contributions, he can also move up to the third or even the second level.
It is said.
All these things were drafted by the black foreman. Weird names like "villas", "duplex villas" and "large flats" were also proposed by the foreman and submitted to the commander-in-chief for approval and then built step by step.
The aim is to let the water beasts see hope, stimulate their autonomy and initiative, better participate in construction, and work hard to explore.
Even the top water beast of Jianghuai, Jiaolong, was full of praise after hearing the news. He praised the black foreman as a loyal and faithful minister and rewarded him with ten fine precious fishes.
Once upon a time, there was a little elf who dug out the Youlan Iron. He suddenly lived in a "big flat". Fish was delivered to him for three meals a day. After work every day, he would go to the scale cleaning shop next door to find a few beautiful fish. His life was so comfortable.
But then I found myself in a recession for several months in a row, with no income or achievements. My one-year term was about to expire, and I would be demoted to the fourth tier. I was extremely anxious.
From frugality to luxury is easy, from luxury to frugality.
Snapped!
The long whip whistled, cut through the water and lashed the lazy big fish.
Seeing that the other party was thick-skinned and was hesitating, the supervisor was about to increase his strength and hit him again, but with a glance, he saw the fish's skin suddenly tense up, the whole body stood at attention, and shouted.
"Black boss!"
A loud and clear shout awakened all the supervisors around. A shadow descended, and the fishes, seeing the huge fat catfish, all avoided it and greeted it.
"Hello, Black Boss!"
"Hello, Black Boss!"
"Black Boss! Loyalty!"
The fat catfish swung its tail and nodded slightly.
Wherever he goes, he is neither enthusiastic nor cold, and he grasps the heart of the fish just right.
He perfectly grasped the small scale of "The boss is watching me, I have to work harder to let the boss see my efforts and reach the peak of my life as soon as possible." This made every little fish feel like they were basking in the spring breeze.
Since becoming the foreman, the fat catfish no longer does the work himself. He spends every day leisurely, and he gets a share of the credit for all the working fish.
The subordinates' achievements are attributed to their superiors, and the subordinates are responsible for their superiors' mistakes.
According to what the gods said, this is the fish-eating class!
Watching the fat catfish leave, the little fishes looked envious and whispered to each other.
"Black Boss is a very busy man. I wonder what he is doing in the canyon today? Is there a new mission?"
"Let's inspect it. We have to perform well!"
"Hey, I heard that the black foreman made an exception and lived in a second-tier 'duplex villa', and all the people who came and went were great demons. I really want to go and see what kind of mansion it is."
"What a fuss! Black Boss is the big red fish in front of the big fish. He is getting busier and busier. Wait, what is Black Boss doing?"
The inspection was different from what the little fishes imagined.
When the fat catfish came to the canyon, it neither looked around from beginning to end nor returned to its "mansion" to rest. Instead, it swam halfway and kept floating up to the mouth of the canyon to bathe in the sunset. The whole fish was covered with a layer of brilliant golden glow, its fins on both sides fluttered, and it stared at the sky for a long time without moving.
A unique emotion came over me.
nice!
Apart from other things, the Black Foreman has a smooth body, a black back and a white belly, and a majestic tiger's mouth with long whiskers. It is indeed a rare and beautiful fish. Many little beautiful fish in the Dahuai Army have secretly developed feelings for it.
The fish were curious and urged the overseer in the school to come forward and ask.
moment.
The supervisor came back excitedly and told me.
"The black boss is in a poetic mood! He wants to recite a poem!
Hurry, hurry, find the fish and cut a piece of stone to record it! Record it! "
Wow!
Feeling like writing poetry?
The fish cried out in surprise.
It was a beautiful day and the black foreman was inspired to write poetry!
"I've heard that Heidayu is well-read and can compose poetry. I never thought it was actually true."
"Of course it's true. Hei Dayu has been to a private school. He is the only one in the whole Daze! I am so lucky today. I am so lucky!"
"Hurry up!"
Such a commotion even alarmed the big demon who was practicing and resting in the "Stacked Villa", and he stuck his fish head out to check what was going on.
"The slate is coming, the slate is coming!"
The fat catfish caught a glimpse of the supervisor swimming towards him with a stone slab on his head. He made sure the onlookers were in place, then swam around three times to get the fishes' full attention. Then he carried his fins on his back and sang leisurely.
"Holding a candle to illuminate the deep capital, holding a banner to imitate the phoenix chick, Xi Qin drinks the Wei River, Dong Luo presents the river map.
Carrying fire to move the stars and land, rising clouds out of Dinghu Lake, it is a rare opportunity to see the steps of a saint, and the court is rushing in the morning! "
Wow!
The little fishes didn’t understand, but they got the flavor!
"It seems to be praising Lord Jiaolong?"
"It must be!"
"Awesome, really awesome! When can I be like Black Foreman?"
Beautiful, talented and capable!
He is truly a role model for the demon race!
"it is good!"
A sudden shout silenced the fish.
Turn around.
I saw a huge monster from the Iron-headed Fish clan swimming out from the second-level "Stacked Villa", and I kept exclaiming in admiration.
"I never expected that among my Jianghuai demon clan, there is actually a great poet fish that is not inferior to the great poets! This poem can be a masterpiece for all ages!"
A stone stirred up a thousand waves.
An eternal masterpiece!
The small fish doesn't have much knowledge, but the big fish is very knowledgeable and has been influenced by human culture to a certain extent.
A good poem acknowledged by the Great Demon himself!
How many precious fish can be obtained by offering this to the dragon?
however.
The fat catfish remained calm in the face of the praise. It bowed to the monster neither arrogantly nor humbly, swam its tail, and swam three more circles.
This……
Skilled finning action.
The fish opened their eyes wide.
Is it possible that the poem is not finished yet?
The Ironhead Fish Monster also became serious. One poem was a burst of inspiration. Then two poems came in a short period of time...
"Holding a pearl and bathing in iron, he heads towards Shenzhou, his scales and mane shake the jade tower.
When the fire came in the middle of the night, we knew there was an enemy, and we all protected the Jianghuai and the Ze!"
"!!!"
The fish fell silent.
No more comments.
They all turned around and looked at the iron-headed fish monster with literary background.
After chewing for a long time, the ironhead fish sighed deeply and was filled with emotion: "From now on, the poetry world will no longer be dominated by humans alone! There are also good poems in Jianghuai!" The fat catfish restrained his emotions and lowered his head, as if he had experienced a hearty creation and felt a bit lonely and unfulfilled.
Hua Hua Hua.
Stone chips floating.
The little fish with helmets on their heads danced like dragons and phoenixes, carving poems on the stone slabs.
The overseer waved his big fin.
"Quick, hurry up, take this wonderful poem and send it eight hundred miles to the Dragon Palace to present it to the king!"
The Ironhead Fish Monster cordially invited the Fat Catfish to his home to eat fish and appreciate poetry together.
The unprecedented Jianghuai poetry scene was established in one day, and caused a huge sensation in one day.
Two poems praising the dragon spread rapidly.
"I wonder if the dragon will fall for this..."
After learning about the fat catfish's performance, Liang Qu kept his merits and fame to himself. He sat in the water pavilion, silently waiting for La La to start grilling the fish.
If the cultural and spiritual enjoyment hits the G-spot of the dragon, then there will definitely be benefits. Ah Fei may earn tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of essences, and will be within reach of the realm of the great demon, and truly enter the power center of the Da Huai Army.
It doesn't make sense, but the dragon will definitely give this Jianghuai Poetry Fish some benefits for the sake of face.
The difference between big profits and small profits.
However, before the great poet fish Ah Fei "came out of nowhere", the entire Jianghuai area was simply a "cultural desert", and he had no way of confirming whether Jiaolong had this hobby.
The steam is boiling.
Otter started to serve the fish.
Before the fat catfish went to the canyon, he first went to the frog tribe and delivered a brand new house model to the frog king. At the same time, he explained the situation of the old toad who was temporarily living in the Blue Lake. The frog king did not react to the old toad staying in the Blue Lake and not coming back, and at the same time gladly accepted the new model.
According to Ah Fei, the Frog King was quite happy to know that the old toad would not be back for a while.
Two precious fish were eaten.
[Water Essence +16784]
Not only that.
There were also five other people who came from Liangqu to visit Haifang.
[Water Essence +34574]
This is the end.
[Water Essence: 881,000]!
Also.
General Yuan’s plantation has not been moved yet, including the dragon people’s share of lotus seeds for July and August this year.
Adding these two items together, it’s definitely one million!
Only two hundred thousand essences away from three hundred, just one step away!
Good things come when they come.
"Boss, we've got the fruits. Sister Eying picked them herself. They're all plump! I ate two, they're so sweet!"
The lotus leaves were swaying, and the little mirage dragon rushed out of the pond carrying a bamboo basket.
Long Eying, Long Yao and Long Li followed closely behind.
Liang Qu was overjoyed. He took the bamboo basket, held Long Eying's shoulders and sat on the stone bench. He also asked Long Yao and Long Li to sit down and brought the rice pot over. "That's right, Tata Kai has cooked a whole fish feast. Let's sit down and eat together! After we finish eating, let's hurry up and head north!"
Then he knocked on the little mirage dragon's head again.
"Cheating, huh?"
The little mirage dragon floated in the air, touched his head, and was very dissatisfied: "There are five thousand, and I only ate thirty..."
"Take it from your pocket money."
"Sister E-Ying has also made up for the thirty!"
"That's also deducted!"
"hateful!"
My monthly pocket money is only one hundred taels, and even if I pay all the thirty lotus seeds, it won’t be enough!
"How do we get to the imperial capital?" Long Eying picked up the bowl and chopsticks, "The treasure ship hasn't arrived yet."
So far.
The obvious explanation for Liangqu's ability to quickly travel back and forth between east and west is that the white ape can carry a few people favored by Jianghuai back and forth in the Huaijiang River at a time, so it can only move east and west, and cannot move north and south.
They could travel freely between Hantai and Pingyang, but they could not bring the imperial capital.
"Isn't Chishan here?"
"Just you and me? Or should we all ride on dragons? Wouldn't that be too tiring?"
"There is a carriage. My Senior Brother Lu ordered one. It can accommodate five or six people. Just let Chishan pull the carriage."
Liang Qu had hardly used Senior Brother Lu's magnificent carriage since he got it, so it came in handy now.
The car is stylish.
After resting for two days in Pingyang Prefecture to build relationships and collect some "fish tax", Liang Qu, with a bulging pocket, rushed to the imperial capital without stopping.
"laugh."
Chishan snorted, then soared into the air and soared straight up.
Inside the carriage.
After a moment of bumpy ride, it became stable.
Liang Qu fumbled for the black shark silk bag.
[It can consume 999616 points of water essence and nourish it to make a Yin-Yang Five Elements Disk. ]
"Seventy-five a day?"
A rough calculation shows that if the giant clam is hung on an old giant clam and soaked in the Jianghuai Lake, the amount of essence that can be accumulated in one day is approximately seventy-five, and it only takes thirty-six years of soaking.
Old giant clams are still useful.
A large essence-absorbing amplifier.
"You can let the old giant clam carry it and raise it as a clam pearl."
[Yin Yang Five Elements Seed] sounds fragile, but it is actually very hard. Liang Qu didn't dare to try it, but at least he couldn't break it with "a little force", and the tiger hunter could hardly destroy it.
If others don't know, they won't come to snatch it, so your safety is guaranteed.
The Liangqu Canal itself can also soak and absorb water. In just six hours, it can earn five or six thousand yuan a month, which is not a small amount. However, it is not that he has nothing to do. It is not bad to earn two or three thousand yuan a month. Giving it to the old giant clam, who has nothing to do, will definitely be more efficient.
"Come to think of it, the total amount is 20 million, 5,000 to 6,000 a month, which is a bit like a salary."
Liang Qu touched his chin.
The accumulation of essence values in the current state is really similar to the salary level.
If he works honestly in the factory, he can get a basic salary of 5,000 to 6,000 yuan a month, which means he can have enough to eat but not starve to death. The big goal of 20 million is not far away. After all, he lives a long life and may retire at the age of several hundred, so he can save enough money.
But Liang Qu doesn't like to work, he prefers to earn extra money.
Frog King is a self-operated small customer.
At the same time, he did some sales for Dashun Company, Boss Shenghuang, and earned commissions based on performance, sometimes a few, sometimes a dozen, sometimes dozens. The most ruthless time was when he earned a big client, Hai Fangzhu, and earned a commission of one million!
I won’t say much about the kickbacks from middlemen transactions.
At the same time, he also held some shares in the means of production, the mermaids, the dragon people, and General Yuan, and received a fixed dividend of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands every year.
"I can still make a lot of money."
Liang Qu felt somewhat proud.
Twenty million, in the previous life it was an astronomical figure!
A few days passed in a flash.
end of August.
imperial capital.
The white elephant in the Jishuitan Pond spewed out water mist, which caused a rainbow.
Liang Qu asked Long Eying to return to the imperial capital to settle down, while he went to the palace to meet the Holy Emperor.
