The beginning is the emperor

Chapter 20 Sir, I want to invite you out of the mountain

Ren Tian was wandering around in Nan County with his hands behind his back.

On the main avenue of Nan County, a few government servants stood aside, and craftsmen were busy there. They neatly put the green bricks piled up on the side into the ground and arranged them.

The road renovation is still in progress. From Nanxian Main Street to the west, there are dusty and dilapidated paths, while the east side along the city wall is neatly paved with blue brick roads.

Although it is still an ordinary road, it is indeed much cleaner and tidy than before, at least the dust and cow dung on it are gone.

A river runs through the city, and in the middle of the river, near a bridge, a group of craftsmen are also busy there. Various materials have been piled aside, and the tavern has begun to be built vigorously.

People were coming and going on the street, which was quite lively.

Nintendo is very satisfied.

As an emperor, the most fulfilling thing is nothing more than watching the joy on the faces of his people and watching his country gradually change.

But at this moment, Ren Tian heard a ding in his ear.

"Ding, Mi County's favorability towards Xin Guo has decreased."

Ren Tian was taken aback, and opened the system panel to see that in the diplomacy column, the favorability of Mi County had indeed dropped by 10 points, from 50 points before to 40 points now.

Although the reason was not written, Ren Tian could guess it, and the discussion fell apart.

Ren Tian frowned slightly, and his face was a little unhappy. This is his first diplomacy, and he just failed like this?

He pondered for a while, and finally decided to wait until tomorrow morning to discuss the matter, because the whole process could only be told to him when Fang Ren came back.

"Xiao Dengzi, where does the middle-aged gentleman I met yesterday when I performed the plowing ceremony live?"

The little eunuch on the side stepped forward quickly: "Your Majesty, we need to check this first."

"Go check."

"Yes."

The two guards behind him immediately went to investigate, while Ren Tian stood on the street of Nan County with his hands behind his back, looking at the long river.

Although Ren Tian hadn't set up a spy agency like East Factory and West Factory, Xinguo was his own country after all, so it was quite easy to investigate a person. Soon, Ren Tian knew the address of the middle-aged man yesterday.

Ren Tian walked towards the outside of Nan County.

Going out along the east side of Nan County, there is a small mountain village with beautiful scenery, lined with green trees, and shepherd boys passing by with their cattle.

In this mountain village, under a hillside, there is a farmhouse. Some chickens and ducks are being fed in front of the farmhouse. Seeing a stranger coming, they immediately screamed and ran away.

The servant next to the middle-aged man was busy in the room, when he saw Ren Tian coming in, he couldn't help saying: "Hello, Your Majesty the Emperor."

Even so, there was no element of respect in the servant's words, and he did not salute. After all, he is not a native of Xinguo now. If he insisted on giving him an identity, he would be considered a refugee.

Ren Tian didn't care, and asked, "Where's your husband?"

"Sir, I went to plow the fields, and I need to wait before returning."

While talking, the servant was cleaning the table for Ren Tian, ​​then took out a cup from the wooden cabinet beside him, and poured tea for Ren Tian.

The tea is naturally not good tea, but the kind of bitter big bowl of tea that ordinary farmers drink.

Ren Tian looked at this farmhouse, although it was simple, it was also very clean.

"Good tea."

Ren Tian took a sip of tea and couldn't help laughing.

"Your Majesty was joking, but I asked Ma Huang to borrow this tea from the farmers in the village, and it's not a good tea."

A voice sounded from behind, and the farmer I had seen before walked in with a smile, the hoe in his hand still leaning against the wall.

Ren Tian looked at the man: "The quality of tea is naturally related to the state of mind. When I see Mr., I naturally feel happy. Even a glass of water will taste sweet."

The man was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Ren Tian and laughed.

The servant named Ma Huang also took out the tea bowl and poured a cup of tea for the middle-aged man.

Then, the middle-aged man sat down opposite Ren Tian.

"I'm just a countryman now, why does Your Majesty flatter me so much?"

As long as you are a talent, don't talk about flattery, even if I talk about dry throat and talk about tiredness, there is nothing wrong with it. Anyway, your face is worthless to yourself.

Ren Tian grumbled in his heart for a while, then smiled and said: "Sir, you really know how to joke. Yesterday, I just met you in a hurry, and I felt that you are extraordinary. That's why I came here specially today, and wanted to have a good talk with him."

"Talk about what?"

"Yesterday, Mr. asked me how the new country should behave in today's world. I answered Mr. I don't know if Mr. can tell me, what should Mr. do in today's world?"

The middle-aged man said with a smile: "I am weak and shallow, so naturally there is not much I can do. In this troubled world, I have the final say. If Your Majesty wants to discuss some poetry and essays with me, I have some experience. I can do it. It’s just finding a quiet place and being an ordinary farmer.”

Ren Tian knew that the other party was going around in circles. After all, historical celebrities are not so easy to recruit.

He shook his head: "Sir, you are joking. If you only want to be an ordinary farmer, why would you ask me what I said yesterday? In such a troubled world, anyone with ambition should enter the world to calm down this troubled world. Why should he be born again?"

The man smiled and said: "In troubled times, first seek self-protection, and then talk about other things. I asked His Majesty yesterday, just to confirm whether the new country is safe or not, so that it will be convenient for me to live in the city for a long time. Come, Your Majesty, drink tea first."

Seeing the other party holding a cup of tea, Ren Tian had no choice but to pick up the cup and take a sip.

It is true that historical celebrities cannot be moved by wasting words.

So after putting down the teacup, Ren Tian directly asked directly: "Sir, I would like to ask you to come out of the mountain and become a member of our new country to help our new country develop."

After finishing speaking, Ren Tian even stood up, and then bowed to the man at a full ninety degrees.

The man stood up and grabbed Ren Tian's hand.

He did not receive this gift.

"Your Majesty, don't be joking."

Ren Tian felt helpless, and the middle-aged man said: "If your Majesty doesn't mind, you'd better sit down and have a good chat first."

Ren Tian nodded.

The middle-aged man pondered for a moment: "Your Majesty, do you know how many countries like Xin Guo are there on the mainland?"

"Perhaps millions?"

When the public beta of "Jiangshan" started, the number of players in the Huaxia region alone exceeded [-] million. A new country like Nintendo naturally had hundreds of millions of players.

The middle-aged man said: "There are so many. Since the disintegration of several great dynasties, there has been no unified country in the mainland. Small countries such as Xinguo have been continuously established on the mainland. As long as there are one or two cities and one or two counties, The land can be called a country. Your Majesty, if you were in my position, would you agree casually?"
