Crazy Xiuxian, boundless magic power

Chapter 167: All-rounder Chu Wen

Shangguan Qingyun didn't understand why so many flowers were planted, so he found a little girl of about twelve or thirteen who was collecting flowers in the flower field and asked:

"Why did you pick these flowers?"

"Selling?" the little girl asked, looking up as she carried a flower basket.

"To whom?"

"The perfume factory."

“What does a perfume factory do?”

"It must be perfume."

"Do you have flowers planted in your fields?"

"Yes."

“How much can you make in a year?”

"I don't know, but I can make a lot of money."

“How do you pay taxes?”

"We don't have to pay taxes, the perfume factory will pay for us."

"How much land do you have?"

"More than two acres."

"Do you have flowers planted in your fields?"

"Yes."

"If we can't sell these flowers, won't we have nothing to eat?"

"Don't worry, the perfume factory will buy it at a guaranteed price, and if there is a disaster, there will be subsidies."

"Do you trust that perfume factory so much?"

"That was done by Lord Chu, so I naturally believe it."

"Why do you trust Master Chu so much?"

"What are you talking about? Who doesn't believe Lord Chu? Let me tell you, my family's land was originally seized by Mr. Zhang in the village, and it was Lord Chu who helped me get it back."

"Oh? How did he help you get it back?"

"I went to school in Xincheng and was a classmate of Mr. Chu's sister. Miss Chu heard about my family's situation and brought Mr. Chu to our village. Mr. Chu beat Mr. Zhang up and not only took back our land, but also made Mr. Zhang pay a lot of money to my family. Miss Chu and I became friends."

Shangguan Qingyun was stunned when he heard this.

"You are in school? Master Chu did it himself?"

"Yes, Lord Chu stipulated that all children under the age of fifteen, regardless of gender, must go to school. Let me tell you, Lord Chu may have beaten them. He beat up eight servants of the Zhang family by himself. Mr. Zhang wanted to deny it, but Lord Chu knocked out all his front teeth. Now he can't even get out of bed."

"Aren't you afraid of Mr. Zhang's revenge?"

"He dares! With Lord Chu here, no one dares to bully us, not even the immortals!"

"The immortal can fly into the sky and hide in the ground, and turn the rivers and seas upside down. Why don't they dare to bully you?"

"You don't know, there were immortals fighting in Buffalo City, and Lord Chu made them pay a lot of money and locked them up."

Shangguan Qingyun couldn't help but smile when he heard this. The same thing, when told by different people, felt completely different. He asked again:

"Master Chu has any cultivation?"

"I don't know about that. Anyway, Lord Chu is very powerful. No one can beat him."

Shangguan Qingyun remembered that the fat boy who was turning the soil said that the president of Buffalo College was Lord Chu's sister, and asked:

"How many sisters does Lord Chu have?"

"Lord Chu has only one real sister, my good friend Miss Chu. The other sisters do not have the surname Chu."

Shangguan Qingyun heard this and secretly laughed at Chu Wen, who was both talented and rich, and must have many sisters. He took out a spiritual fruit and handed it to the girl who was picking flowers, saying:

"Why are you working alone? Where are your parents?"

The little girl took a bite of the spiritual fruit, her eyes widened immediately, and she said as she ate:

"Thank you. This fruit is delicious. My father works in a glass factory and my mother weaves at home. I tell you, Lord Chu is amazing. The loom he invented is much faster than the previous ones. The cloth it weaves is fine and dense, and very valuable."

"He also invented the loom?" Shangguan Qingyun was stunned when he heard this.

"Of course! Lord Chu knows everything! But you can't buy this loom. Only people from Buffalo County can buy it."

"How often do you get to eat meat at home?"

Shangguan Qingyun asked this because this is the best standard to measure a family's wealth.

"In the past, my family could only eat meat once a year. But now, my father said that we have money and we can eat whatever we want. I even had meat last night."

Shangguan Qingyun is a great man who can transcend tribulations. He can detect the slightest changes in expressions and naturally distinguish the truth from falsehood in these words.

After listening to the little girl's story, he was convinced that Chu Wen was a talented and good official who loved his people like his own children. He felt a little disgusted with Du Fengzhu, who was jealous of others' talents.

Although these people were thanking Chu Wen, Chu Wen was an official under Shangguan Qingyun's rule, and had a karmic entanglement with him, so he naturally had a share of the power of the wish.

He couldn't help but think, if every county magistrate could do this, he wouldn't have to worry about the difficulty of the natural tribulation.

After leaving the flower field, Shangguan Qingyun continued on the official road leading to Buffalo.

Along the way, you can occasionally see some Qi-refining practitioners working in the fields.

The monk with golden spiritual roots split the mountain and reclaimed wasteland.

The monk with earth spirit roots turned over the soil and prepared the land.

The monk with fire spiritual root burns the ground to kill insects.

The monk with water spirit roots watered the canal.

The monk with wood spiritual roots casts a spell to protect the seedlings.

Even the trees planted on both sides of the road are maintained by monks using spells.

Shangguan Qingyun was greatly enlightened.

What surprised him was not only that, there were endless stream of merchants and travelers on the road, but there was not a single beggar on the roadside.

The people along the road were busy, but everyone had a rosy complexion and a smile on their face, obviously full of hope for life.

He was infected by the vibrant scene of the world and was in a very good mood. He would talk to the people from time to time.

The more he heard, the more curious he became about Chu Wen.

In the mouths of these people, Lord Chu is omnipotent. He not only punishes bullies, helps the poor and the needy, but also invents and creates...

He also judged the immortals, subdued the river gods, and saved the souls of the dead...

She can be a door god to ward off disasters and misfortunes, or she can be a midwife to help people give birth.

Even last year's severe drought was only possible because Lord Chu prayed to the sky for rain.

Lord Chu is not only talented, but also has a noble character. Whenever the people mention Chu Wen, they all praise him. Some even say that they have set up a longevity tablet for Chu Wen in their homes.

If Shangguan Qingyun showed the slightest disrespect towards Lord Chu, he would immediately be met with frowns and angry glares.

It can be seen that these people not only respect Chu Wen, but also love Chu Wen.

Qingyun has been established for a thousand years, but no one has ever been an official to this extent.

Shangguan Qingyun was secretly amazed. Just as Zhao Yunting said, Chu Wen was truly a versatile person who could do everything. However, the job of midwifery was a little bit incomprehensible to him.

Continuing forward, Shangguan Qingyun soon saw the new city that the people were talking about.

He was really surprised when he saw it at first sight.

There are no towering city walls as imagined, only endless blue brick buildings.

Looking around, the city is full of two- and three-story buildings, one after another, spread out in an orderly manner on the plains.

The roads in the city are all paved with cement, with green trees lining the roadsides. The streets are wide and straight, crisscrossing into a network, dividing this strange city into regular blocks.

As you approach the new city, the first thing you see is a large parking lot.

In the parking lot, horse-drawn carriages, donkey carts, mule carts, ox carts... are arranged in an orderly manner and are guarded by people in uniform.

After Shangguan Qingyun inquired, he found out that animal-powered vehicles were prohibited from entering the city because animal feces would pollute the city's environment.

Shangguan Qingyun came from the east, and the entire East City is a commercial area.

Stepping into East City, the prosperity here was beyond Shangguan Qingyun's imagination.

There were shops lined up on the street, pedestrians were shoulder to shoulder, and the sounds of hawking, talking, bargaining... were endless.

The pedestrians had different accents and clothing, obviously coming from different states and counties.

Looking left and right, the street shops are simple yet elegant, with a unified design yet individuality, completely unlike the clutter of other towns.

Looking up, there are Buffalo Eyewear Store, Buffalo MSG Store, Buffalo Ironware Store, Buffalo Perfume Store...all of them are new and interesting things.

Shangguan Qingyun walked through East City as if he had come to another country, causing his calm heart to be stirred up.

Such a prosperous scene, is this really my Qingyun Kingdom?

Even in Zhongzhou there has never been such a prosperous town!
