Chapter 12 This city lord is too punishing
The next day.
In front of the granary in the north of the city, a temporary high platform suddenly appeared, with a long white banner stretched above it and a line of crooked writing on it.
The people who came to receive the food did not know why and were talking quietly in groups of twos and threes.
"Hey, why didn't you put food out today? Why are you building a high platform?"
"Who knows, just wait and see."
"We won't stop feeding food, right?"
"Probably not. Didn't the city lord say before that as long as the Chen family has something to eat, we won't be hungry. Just wait."
At noon, more and more people gathered around, and when they were almost there, Chen Muyun slowly walked up to the high platform, surrounded by several outer disciples.
"Hey, look, that's not the city lord."
"Really, what did he do here today?"
One after another, people in the crowd recognized Chen Muyun.
"Everyone, I am the lord of Liulic City, Chen Muyun." Chen Muyun stood on the high platform, clasped his fists and said loudly: "I guess everyone has many questions about setting up a high platform here today, so I won't deny it. To be honest, today is
I have some great news to tell you."
As soon as they heard something good happened, everyone came closer.
A few curious people asked loudly.
"Lord City Lord, what a good thing it is. Does it have something to do with what is written on it?"
The man pointed at the banner on the high platform and asked innocently.
Most of the people at the bottom of this world are illiterate.
So Chen Muyun pointed to the words on the banner and read them word for word to everyone.
"Heaven has sent treasures, and there is a way to make money!"
Everyone looked confused.
"What is it, a treasure descended from heaven, and there is a way to make money?"
Hearing this, Chen Muyun suddenly sighed and looked particularly reluctant.
"Hey, last night, I dreamed of meeting an immortal and got a way to make a fortune, but...hey."
As soon as everyone heard something strange, their curiosity was aroused. A few anxious ones asked directly: "What, please tell me how to get rich."
I saw that everyone was full of interest.
Is it possible that Chen Muyun acted for this reason: "Everyone, let me tell you the truth, I, Chen Muyun, am not a dignified person. I am greedy for money and lustful. I work less and take more, and I get something for nothing. This is my standard as a human being, but..."
Chen Muyun suddenly sighed and said: "Hey, the immortal said last night that it was because of this that he punished me and asked me to share this wealth with others."
As soon as everyone heard that the immortal showed them how to make money, they immediately felt no longer hungry, and everyone looked at Chen Muyun with great excitement.
Seeing that everyone had taken the bait, Chen Muyun then informed everyone about the need to build a vegetable greenhouse on the site of the garden.
Of course, in the course of the narration, the vegetable greenhouse was transformed into a cornucopia!
"This is the general story of what happened. However, the immortal said to share it with others, but he didn't say how many people."
At this time, Chen Muyun acted very stingy.
"So here, I will... give you twenty places."
"Twenty!"
When everyone heard this, they immediately went crazy.
"City Lord, what you are doing is extremely unethical. Since the immortal has shown you the way, you should follow the immortal's words."
"So many of us have heard this, so just give us twenty places. You're not fooling us, you're not giving the immortal face."
"Chen Muyun, we originally had a good impression of you, but now it seems that you are no better than Chen Boyuan."
"that is……"
Everyone was filled with righteous indignation and accused Chen Muyun of being unreasonable.
Seeing this, Chen Muyun raised his hand and said, "Then... then two hundred people?"
"Two hundred people are too few. Look, everyone has heard it. Lord City Lord, please take pity on us. Look what has become of us."
A ragged man in the crowd pointed at his tattered clothes.
"It's not that I don't give everyone a chance, it's really..."
Chen Muyun deliberately hesitated to speak.
"Forget it, let me tell you the truth. In fact, I do it for everyone's benefit. The amount of work to build the cornucopia is too big. I'm afraid that everyone can't bear it."
"It's okay, we can hold on!"
Chen Muyun added: "The key is that the immortal said that one must be sincere. If one's mind wavers even a little bit, nothing will happen."
"Don't worry, sir, our hearts are as solid as a rock!"
"Yes, our hearts are as solid as a rock..."
Everyone began to express their opinions in order to join in, and some even risked the reputation of their ancestors for eight generations.
Seeing that everyone was in high spirits, although Chen Muyun's expression did not change, his heart was already filled with joy.
Sure enough, drawing a pie is universal no matter where it is!
Seeing that the matter was basically settled, Chen Muyun stopped trying to keep things secret.
"Hey, okay then... everyone will gather at Liuxiang Garden in the west of the city later, but let me make it clear, it's completely voluntary! Don't be sincere..."
Before Chen Muyun could finish his words, the crowd of people who had just surrounded him all left in an instant.
Chen Muyun was left standing alone on the high platform, letting the bleak autumn wind blow.
"Hey, I'm the only one who is not sincere in my feelings..."
To the west of the city, Liuxiang Garden.
What does it look like when tens of thousands of people gather together?
Chen Muyun finally found out today.
In the past, the alley that no one cared about was suddenly blocked by a dark crowd of people.
Chen Muyun barely squeezed to the front when a group of outer disciples opened the way.
Moreover, several outer disciples were lost halfway along the way.
Arriving in front of Liuxiang Garden, Chen Muyun was surprised to find that not only did these people come neatly, they even brought their tools.
Some impatient people have already gone into the garden to pull weeds.
However, what depressed Chen Muyun was that among this group of people, there were actually a few inner disciples holding hoes.
But what made Chen Muyun most angry was that he didn't know who the "big smart" was who reported the letter, and even someone from the kiln came.
Chen Muyun originally wanted to defraud some free labor, but unexpectedly, things had developed into a somewhat uncontrollable situation.
"Damn it, sir, I'm exaggerating a bit."
Chen Muyun groaned secretly in his heart.
However, after all, more people are better than no one.
At this time, Chen Muyun, who was disheveled, said to Zhou Tianfang, who was also disheveled next to him: "Boss Zhou, you will bring a few people with you later, and quickly get those people from the kiln back to me and tell them to burn the kiln with peace of mind. They will not be left behind.”
Hearing this, Zhou Tianfang looked around and saw that the huge crowd looked embarrassed.
"Young Master, do you think I can live well?"
At this time, Chen Muyun couldn't control that much.
There is good in numbers, there is great power in numbers.
Chen Muyun rode on the shoulders of an outer disciple.
I briefly explained the work process to a group of people, but I don’t know if they understood it.
Then, he raised his hand and shouted: "Everyone listen to my command and level this place!"
Before he could finish his words, more than 10,000 people roared to the sky and rushed into the garden.
It seems that Liuxiang Garden is the threshold that prevents them from getting rich!
