The beginning is the emperor

Chapter 145 The Man Wearing Straw Sandals (Updated, 225)

Buildings such as palace gardens are not only for decoration, but can also produce cultural points. The more money spent, the more luxurious and expensive the garden, the more cultural points will be produced.

But this was directly ruled out by Ren Tian. What is most lacking now is money. It is impossible for him to spend money on this aspect.

So in addition to these, Ren Tian looked at other buildings, including bookstores, painting workshops and other buildings. If Taoism or Buddhism is accepted, ordinary temples can also produce cultural points.

In addition to the buildings that can produce cultural points, Ren Tian also looked at some activities that can increase cultural points, such as holding a folk poetry recitation competition, such as the grasshopper competition held, these can increase cultural points.

Another one is that if a country forms a fixed festival, it will also increase cultural points.

There are still many ways to increase culture points, so after much deliberation, Ren Tian chose the safest method, building buildings.

Buildings can stably produce cultural points, although not many, but stability is better.

"Decree, Nanxian, Pingxian, Mixian and other counties, new school buildings will be built, and Nanxian school buildings will be expanded."

"Decree, Nan County, Ping County, Mi County to Xin County, build a bookstore building."

Ren Tian built these two buildings first, and at the same time, he also planned to carry out some additional activities during the private visit of Weibo. Last time, he saw some players in the forum and went to the brothel to reward them. He also wanted to attract cultural celebrities. To imitate more.

After several imperial decrees were issued, the energy value was almost deducted, and the morning court was naturally impossible.

After ordering to withdraw from the court, the courtiers shouted long live, and the rest of the matter had to wait until the next day.

After returning to the palace, eating breakfast and changing clothes, Ren Tian's energy recovered, and after thinking about it, he called Wang Xuan to the imperial study.

Wang Xuan soon came to the imperial study.

"Wang Aiqing, the Qinglong pass has been built. You lead the Shanzi army to continue to Pingyuan County. I hope to know the terrain of Pingyuan County and the distribution of countries. If possible, see if there are scattered talents."

Wang Xuan cupped his fists: "Yes."

"You performed very well before. In case of loss, you can retreat to Qinglong Pass."

"I will understand at the end."

Ren Tian asked Wang Xuan to go down. Now it seems that Pingyuan County in the north must be attacked vigorously, while the east and west sides are mainly focused on developing commerce and diplomacy.

For Meng Ben's words, Ren Tian transferred him from the Shanzi Army and transferred him back to the camp. In addition, Ren Tian also checked Hao Meng's attributes.

Hao Meng had been with Tian Dan's army before, and had been suppressed by Tian Dan. His loyalty had neither increased nor decreased.

Ren Tian pondered for a moment and said, "Pass an edict to announce that Hao Meng will come to see you."

After just a while, Hao Meng came to the imperial study room. When he saw Ren Tian, ​​he immediately knelt down and worshiped.

"Hao Meng has met His Majesty."

"Stay flat, General Hao."

Hao Meng stood up, judging from his expression, he seemed a little reserved.

"General Hao, you are comfortable in our army. Are you dissatisfied with injustice?"

"Return to Your Majesty, the general will stay comfortably, and there is no injustice."

"That's good, General Hao. In fact, my new country urgently needs talents for development. You, Hao Meng, are also a talent, but I don't know if you can loyally join the new country."

Hao Meng was startled: "Your Majesty, the last general swears allegiance to the death."

Ren Tian smiled slightly: "General Hao, I have no doubts about your loyalty. In the new country, I will never be stingy with meritorious ministers. It is entirely possible to be granted the title of marquis and prime minister in the future, but these things cannot be proved by words. , can only be proven through military merit. General Hao, I also value you very much. I hope you can train under Commander Tian for a while. In the future, I will promote you to a separate legion commander and give you the opportunity to earn military merit."

Hao Meng was overjoyed: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Ren Tian nodded: "General Hao, let's go, don't let me down."

"According to the order."

After Hao Meng went down, Ren Tian also took a look at Hao Meng's attribute panel. In terms of loyalty, it only increased by 3 points.

"Unfortunately, after spending so much talking, it only increased by 3 points. Your loyalty is less than 80 points. How can I lead you troops?"

Ren Tian sighed, it seems that Hao Meng can only stay in the Tian Dan Army, as a partial general.

Looking at the little eunuch at the side, Ren Tian said, "Preparing for a private visit."

……

On the official road in the south of Xinguo.

A man is coming here, this man is wearing a linen robe, his face is covered, but he is stepping on a pair of straw sandals, his appearance is very strange.

On the official road, there are still many people pushing carts passing by, chatting with each other.

"When we get to the market, we will sell this cart of goods first, and then buy some pens and ink to go back."

A woman was muttering beside her, and the man pushing the cart laughed and said, "That's, that's, you can't neglect my baby."

The man walking next to him was curious, and couldn't help asking: "What does buying pens and inks have to do with your child?"

The man glanced at the strangely dressed man and couldn't help but said, "You're not from New Zealand, are you?"

The man nodded: "Yes, I am a scholar traveling across the mainland. I am passing through this place and am planning to find a city to stay and rest."

"Then you are on the right track. Not far ahead is Nan County, which is the imperial capital of our Xin Kingdom. His Majesty Xin Kingdom has treated us very well. He will reduce and exempt taxes as soon as he ascends the throne, and he will reclaim farmland and distribute the fields. The recent days are easy. too much."

When the man mentioned this, he was full of excitement.

The man listened patiently, and the woman next to him patted her husband: "What nonsense are you talking about? Why don't you explain it clearly to others."

The man smiled naively and said, "My Majesty the New Kingdom has specially built a school in Nan County and randomly selected children as students. My children were selected to study there. I need many scholars in my family."

"I won't tell you anymore. I have to rush to the market. If I get there late, it will be the end if I can't sell my goods."

The man and his mother-in-law quickly pushed the cart forward. The man wearing straw sandals also had some surprise in his eyes, and seemed to be a little curious about this new country.

Along the way, he came to Xinguo, only to see that there are many farms in Xinguo, unlike other places where there are few people, instead, there are villages in twos and threes not far away, many men are still busy in the fields , There are even farm cattle mooing and being put on the fields to graze.

Even on the official road, you can often see people on horseback passing by, or farmers who are about to enter Nan County to buy and sell something, or some scholars, with their servants, heading to Nan County.

In addition, the most numerous caravans came from the opposite Nanxian County, and some went to Nanxian County from the back road. In a short period of time, the caravans came in an endless stream, not as lonely as he was walking on the other roads.

Therefore, the man in straw sandals was indeed somewhat curious about Xin Guo.
