The First Yamen of the Great Song Dynasty

Gao Ming waved his hand again to keep everyone quiet, and then said: "Then I won't say anything more, and the Double Ninth Cake will be distributed, and I will cut the first piece." As he spoke, he took a knife from the attendant with his right hand , holding the sleeve of his right hand with his left hand, bent down to cut this giant Double Ninth Cake.

Let him taste the taste first, which is also to verify the safety of the food, so that everyone can rest assured, and don't think that the prefect is fooling everyone with problematic food.

Gao Ming picked up the plate and took a bite of the Double Ninth Cake. It was very sweet, but it should be a good choice for soldiers who rarely eat sugar. Come on, everyone has a share."

The professional chefs brought in were called to the stage and began to cut.

Gao Ming was only responsible for carrying the plates, handing them to the generals who accepted them, and saying a few words of blessing and encouragement.

For example, the government is optimistic about you, you have to work hard and so on.

After the generals had received them one by one, and when it was the soldiers' turn, Gao Ming stepped aside, and Hua Rong distributed Chongyang cakes to the soldiers one by one, letting him buy people's hearts.

The huge Double Ninth Cake was eaten in such a way that nothing was wasted.

The pawns who were assigned pastries, eating sweet and soft Double Ninth Cakes, and thinking about the two hundred Wen that they were about to get, spent this festival very happily.

In the future, whoever dares to say that Gaozhifu and Huatong are not good, he must be beaten.

Gao Ming saw that everyone was beaming and smiling.

However, he wouldn't do this kind of operation often. This dynasty learned from the previous generation that he was afraid of generals' rebellion, and he was very wary of generals.

He and Huarong had just arrived, and the base of the masses was not stable, so they came to buy people's hearts. After the positions were firmly established, there was no need to do this, so as not to fall into the trap.

But today the effect is really outstanding, don't worry about not being able to sit still in the future.

By the way, I don't know how the Double Ninth Cake used for display in Happy Forest is doing. Is there any good one? Why hasn't Nie Liang, who was sent over there, come back yet?

Just as he was thinking, he saw Nie Liang poking his head outside the Martial Arts Hall, and Gao Ming asked someone to bring him over.

"how?"

Nie Liang said with a smile on his face: "Happy Forest is too lively, just like a temple fair, I don't know where so many people come from."

Gao Ming listened, put his hands behind his back, nodded and smiled constantly: "That's good, you continue to lead people there to maintain order, and don't stampede and other things happen."

Nie Liang was ordered to back away quietly.

Those who were supposed to receive the Double Ninth Cake had almost received it, so Gao Ming and Hua Rong left together.

After these days of getting along, many people already know Huarong's origin. He and Gao Yanei knew each other when they were studying in the Imperial College. Now that Gao Yanei came to Mengzhou to be the magistrate, he was transferred to be the governor.

What is a confidant?This is!

-

Happy Lin's Double Ninth Cake was even more amazing, it was one and a half feet long and two feet high, with various small flags and lifelike sugar figurines stuck on it, it looked high-profile and luxurious from a distance.

Because several companies made it together, of course they couldn't be displayed in a hotel alone, so everyone thought of a compromise method, built a table in an open space in Happy Forest, and displayed the Double Ninth Cake on it.

I found someone to write a plaque: The best cake in the world.

Cake and high have the same pronunciation. The Double Ninth Festival is about to ascend, but now there is the highest in the world, and those who want to rise step by step come to win the prize.

The original guests of Happy Forest came from outside, and those who ran out with Mengzhoucheng to watch the fun, were crowded in darkness, blocking three floors inside and three floors outside.

Those who passed by without knowing it saw so many people stop, went out to be curious and then came to see, so more and more people gathered.

Happy Forest has never been so lively, even the ants on the road have been trampled out.

Some of these tourists couldn't go back that night, so they stayed in Happy Forest, or went in and out of the casino, or looked for other pastimes. Although it wasn't Chinese New Year, it was more lively than New Year's, and the haze brought about by the previous murder was swept away.

Happy Lin came to life completely.

As for the hotels that made the Double Ninth Cake, because the names of the hotels they made were written on the plaques at the entrance, they attracted a lot of guests. The rooms were full and there were no vacancies at all.

The Double Ninth Cake was displayed in Happy Forest for a few days before being cut up and sold.

Because it is the best cake (high) in the world, in order to win this lottery, those who want to be admitted to the university, those who want to be promoted, those who want to make money next year, and those who want to go to a higher place in their future life, all come to buy it.

Those who ran slowly didn't catch it.

Gao Ming couldn't help feeling that the people in this era are still simple.

It's not like in the later generations, everyone is numb to the biggest food and the most attended activities. They are not interested in it at all, and they even sneer.

Gao Ming's trick "The World's No. [-] Double Ninth Cake" was a novelty, and Happy Forest and Mengzhou City were immediately revived.

Watching the excitement outside, I had a good experience in Happy Forest, the law and order is good and I have fun, and when I go back, everyone says that Mengzhou is good. As for Wusong and Wusong, everything has passed, and now Mengzhou is very good under the governance of the magistrate. .

Happy Forest's hotels and various banks have made a lot of money, so they naturally know who they should be most grateful for, and a little filial piety is what they deserve.

So after discussing it, they sent the boss of Keyuelai to invite Gao Ming.

Gao Ming still attaches great importance to this group of big taxpayers, and went out with Hua Rong to visit Happy Forest.

Happy Forest is indeed Happy Forest. Gao Ming thinks it is a bit like the Las Vegas of the later generations. Anyone can find fun here. The daily flow of funds is astonishing. Without blinking, it's just a small amount of money.

The largest hotel in Happy Forest, which was robbed by Shi En and Zhang Dujian before, has changed hands now. Because the case was unknown at the time, many people dared not accept it, so the third largest hotel was bought from Zhang Dujian at a low price. Relatives bought it.

At this time, Gao Ming and Hua Rong were sitting in the private room on the third floor of the hotel, surrounded by several selected representatives of the hotel owner to accompany them.

"My lord, since you came, Mengzhou is getting better and better. You are really the savior of Mengzhou." A boss with a gray beard poured wine for Gao Ming and praised him.

Gao Ming himself is a master at flattering people, of course he doesn't lose himself, he just smiles.

"My lord, don't think that we are sycophants. It's really not. After that incident happened before, we all thought that Happy Lin, although he couldn't just collapse, would also suffer a serious injury and needed to be raised for a while. I didn't expect you Come on, once you make a move, you will save Happy Forest. You are our great savior, this is true."

Gao Ming then said: "This government is a state official, so of course we have to make decisions for the people, these are what I should do."

When everyone heard it, they all praised Gao Ming for being too modest and virtuous.

Of course, Hua Rong, who was on the sidelines, couldn't be left out. He boasted that he was Li Guang, a god-armed general, and trampled on the previous Ma Guan, saying that he allowed the battalion managers and regimental trainers to do whatever they wanted in Happy Forest, and they lived in fear.

It's all right now, Huatongzhi is here, Happy Lin has a new look, we are so happy.

Hua Rong was not as good as Gao Ming in dealing with these scenes, so he slurred a few words and drank in embarrassment.

During the banquet, a girl from the Xingyuan came in to play the pipa and sing. She was charming and coquettish. This person was carefully selected by the hotel owners, no matter in appearance or talent.

It's all for a song, and the boss who accompanied him said: "Come here, pour wine for your lord."

The girl walked over in small steps, pouring wine for Gao Ming shyly.

Gao Ming also felt that this girl was very eye-catching, so he asked her to sit with her.

Originally, he and Hua Rong were both young men, plus a few middle-aged and elderly men in their thirties, fours, fives, and sixties. Drinking dryly was too boring.

Gao Ming asked the girl, "What's your name?"

"In the words of your lord, the slave's name is Zhu Yingyu."

"It's one letter difference from Zhu Yingtai."

The story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai has been widely circulated at this time, and most people have heard it. The story is roughly the same as the future, including the part where Zhu Yingtai jumped into Liang Shanbo's tomb and turned into a butterfly on the way to get married.

Zhu Yingyu lowered her head and said embarrassedly: "I dare not compare myself with Zhu Yingtai."

Gao Ming stared at Zhu Yingyu and had a sudden thought, "Hey, since the names are just one letter apart, it means that you are destined to each other. Have you thought about playing her on stage?"

Everyone was stunned.

Gao Ming said: "Our happy forest, according to our residence, has everything, but it lacks a place to watch a play, and it also lacks a famous signature play. If "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" can be performed on the stage, It must attract a lot of people.”

Although the story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai has been circulated, it has never been fully shown on the stage in a drama.

"My lord..." Someone came to his senses first, his eyes lit up, "Your words are absolutely true, my lord!"

"Then let's find someone to write the book as soon as possible." A boss said with a smile: "And let Zhu Yingyu play Zhu Yingtai!

Everyone thought that the Gao Zhifu wanted to praise this girl, and immediately appointed her to be the number one female.

Zhu Yingyu couldn't believe it, "Is my family coming to act? My family is afraid that the performance will not be good."

Gao Ming is very happy to encourage others to pursue their dreams and achieve greater achievements, "Then are you willing?"

The competition for pipa girls is too fierce, but anyone who comes from an academy can play and sing. If they can change their careers and become the leading roles in dramas supported by the magistrate, who would not be willing.

Zhu Yingyu hurriedly got up and bowed to Gao Ming, "Thank you for your kindness, my family will never forget your kindness."

"This government is just giving me a suggestion, so it's not a favor to you." Gao Ming waved his hand and told Zhu Yingyu to straighten up. Then she sat down again, poured wine for Gao Ming, and continued chatting while talking and laughing.

At this time, Gao Ming found that Hua Rong hadn't spoken all the time. Although his expression could not be said to be angry, he was definitely not very happy.

While several restaurant owners were discussing about drama, Gao Ming took the time to ask Hua Rong with a smile, "What's wrong with you, is the food unpalatable?"

In the end, I heard Hua Rong say: "I don't know what's going on, I suddenly feel unhappy. But, it should be fine, it will be fine in a while."

If someone else said this, Gao Ming would definitely not like it, it's nonsense, why don't you feel happy in your heart, you don't know?

But the other party is Hua Rong, he is not the kind of person who plays with his temper, so he should be really inexplicably upset, even he himself doesn't understand.

Since Huarong himself didn't understand it, Gao Ming naturally didn't understand it either.

Gao Ming once suspected that it was because of Zhu Yingyu. Huarong might not like the girls in the courtyard and thought they were of low status, but it was impossible after thinking about it. They went to Cui Niannu together before. Although Huarong was not interested in Cui Niannu, he definitely Don't hate her, it's natural to get along with her.

He couldn't figure it out, so he just didn't want to think about it, just treat it as an unpalatable dish.

After eating and drinking, Gao Ming and Hua Rong leave the table, and everyone sees them off.

At the bottom of the restaurant, Gao Ming got on the sedan chair, and a representative of the restaurant asked people to carry a two-foot-square box and a one-foot-square box on the back foot, and said: "This is the Chongyang cake that I didn't finish that day. I have left one piece for the adults and Hua Tongzhi, please accept it."

Gao Ming is so familiar with this set that he believes that there are Double Ninth Cakes in the box. Unless he is a fool, there must be filial piety in it, that's all.

Gao Ming guessed right, the big box for Gao Ming contained a pair of red coral ornaments, and the smaller box for Hua Rong contained a delicate short knife, but the scabbard and dagger were both made of gold.

Gao Ming said: "The Double Ninth Festival is over, so don't be in a hurry to eat the Double Ninth Cake. If Happy Forest's business continues to improve, then it won't be too late for me to come to eat again on New Year's Eve."

I declined the thank you gift.

The representatives of the merchants present were all good people, so they naturally knew that Gao Zhifu had seen their intentions and rejected them.

Mr. Gao didn't mean that, and they couldn't be too proactive. After all, they still couldn't figure out Mr. Gao's temper. Hearing Mr. Gao's meaning was to wait, then wait.

So the leading representative said with a dry smile: "Then... we will take it back temporarily, and prepare it for the adults on New Year's Eve."

Gao Ming got into the sedan chair and went back to the magistrate's yamen with Hua Rong.

After drinking, he felt stuffy and hot, so he opened the curtain of the window, poked his head outside to let the wind blow lazily.

Hua Rong was riding on a horse beside him, looking down at him, "I thought you would bring Zhu Yingyu back."

Gao Ming smiled and said, "Even if I want to see her, I can't just bring her back in public." After speaking, Hua Rong hummed softly, "So you have a long-term plan."

Gao Ming managed to build up a glorious image, how could it be destroyed? Seeing that Hua Rong wanted to despise him, he hurriedly explained: "You misunderstood, how could I bring her back, I am a parent official, how can someone give a woman away?" Just accept a woman, what will happen. You forgot, I have long since changed my ways."

Only then did Hua Rong smile and said: "Sure enough, you are like a mirror in your heart, you understand everything, and when you are new here, there are some things that you shouldn't touch."

"Of course not." Gao Ming held his chin and continued to chat with Hua Rong, "By the way, when they were talking about Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai just now, you kept silent. What do you think of this story?"

"What do you think?"

"What's your opinion?"

"How did Liang Shanbo not find out that Zhu Yingtai was a woman for three years? It's incredible!"

"Liang Shanbo is a scholar, so he may be rather dull." Gao Ming said: "I think what is even more incredible is that when Liang Shanbo thought Zhu Yingtai was his daughter, he didn't think about her at all, but when he knew she was a girl, he fell in love with her." He failed to propose a marriage, and died of depression."

Hua Rong also chatted with him, "A man can only be a brother, but if the other party is a woman, he can be a wife."

"It's still weird, how did the brotherhood turn into love?" Gao Ming was a little drunk, thinking of what to say, "It's like you and me, if one of us is suddenly found to be a woman, love Will it change too?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Hua Rong frowned and looked him up and down.

At this time, silence is better than sound, and the effect of embarrassment is doubled.

Then I heard Hua Rong say: "Let's talk about something else."

Gao Ming agreed with both hands, busy looking for topics ranging from the stars in the sky to the moon, from the weather to local customs.

The two returned to the magistrate's yamen and rested separately.

When it was time to rest, Hua Rong packed his luggage and asked the two soldiers to pack it up on the horse, and then moved to Gao Ming's spare house. The two civil and military officials in Mengzhou finally lived separately. , which is much more convenient.

At the same time, Gao Ming received a reply letter from Murong Yanda, the prefect of Qingzhou.

Murong Yanda expressed generously in the letter, brother, don't you just want Huarong?No problem, although you are waiting for the official appointment documents from the imperial court, but you also know that those documents are just a process, so hahaha, don’t worry, just let Hua Rong be with you, when the documents are ready, he will be yours people.

I heard that your Mengzhou Happy Forest is very lively. Brother, I really want to go and have a look. However, if you have time, brother, you might as well come to Qingzhou to have fun first. The lanterns and social fires here are very beautiful.

Gao Ming wrote back and said, brother, you are really a bright person, we must get together when we have time.

Just as Gao Ming expected, there would be no problems at all with the prefect of Murong. Murong Yanda also had generals like Hu Yanzhuo and Huang Xin under his command.Besides, he and his younger brother are still friends, and the prefect of Murong will not let him down.

As for the official documents, it was not as fast as the emperor's direct appointment of the prefect. Gao Ming was very efficient with the above-mentioned affairs. Such appointments submitted in the second half of the year were usually delayed until the end of the year.

There are good things in life and there are bad things. There is a problem in the military camp. It is not small or big, but if it is not handled well, it will be fatal.

The horses in the barracks were sick, not eating or drinking, and were sick all day long.

Horses are an important strategic material and cannot be sloppy.

Hua Rong first asked someone to invite a doctor in Mengzhou City, but it didn't work, so he immediately sent someone to Dongchang Mansion on his good horse to invite Huangfu Duan.

Gao Ming heard that Huarong sent someone to invite Huangfu Duan, he was a little surprised, as a veterinarian on Mount Liang, Huangfu was very low-key, because he didn't say a word in the whole book, he was pretty low-key.

At the same time, he is also an industry expert. The owner and the horse agree that the medicine will cure the disease.

Hua Rong went to invite Huangfu Duan, which means that he is very famous throughout Shandong, and Hua Rong, who works in Qingfengzhai in Qingzhou, has even heard of him from Dongchang Mansion.

The people sent by Hua Rong found Huangfu Duan, and without a word, they took him over after dumping the money. Because the situation was urgent, it was said that Huangfu Duan hadn't finished his lunch, so he was pushed and dragged onto the horse. , the two rode a horse together to Mengzhou.

When Huangfu arrived at the place, before he had time to eat dinner, he was dragged to the stables of the military camp to treat the horses.

Huangfu Duan is worthy of being the pillar of the veterinary field. These horses that have been registered as experts, after taking the prescribed medicine, will recover at night and can eat normally the next day.

Originally Gao Ming had forgotten about Huangfu Duan, but now that he appeared in front of his eyes, he had to take good care of him.

Such talents are not used by the imperial court, so they are prepared for Liangshan.

It is a little bit to be able to dig a little corner of the gable wall.

Gao Ming received Huangfu Duan cordially. As soon as he met him, Gao Ming saw that Huang Fu Duan had green eyes, and his hair and beard were yellow.

This lineage seems to be an indirect proof of Datang's openness.

Gao Ming looked at Huangfu Duan with a smile, "I don't know that there are talents like you in Shandong. You are overqualified in Dongchang Mansion."

Huangfu thought that Gao Ming would let him come to Mengzhou to work, but he definitely had to refuse. He also worked in the local state capital, and there was not much difference between Dongchang Mansion and Mengzhou. Moreover, Dongchang Mansion also had his wife and children, and the children went to private schools. The classmates are familiar with each other and don't want to move easily.

"My lord loves me so much, I am already satisfied with serving in Dongchang Mansion."

"That's a pity, the government still wants to recommend you to go to Tokyo to work in the Imperial Horse Supervisor."

As soon as the words fell, Gao Ming found that Huangfu Duan's eyes were full of longing, as if he was saying that if I didn't say anything just now, please recommend me.

Dongchangfu to Mengzhou and Dongchangfu to Tokyo are very different.

This Gaozhifu is the son of Taiwei Gaoqiu, if recommended by him, he will definitely be able to successfully enter Beijing.

Gao Ming smiled and said, "People can't be satisfied so easily. Since you have such talent, why bother to live in Dongchang Mansion. This mansion thinks that you should go to Tokyo to play a better role."

This time, Huangfu Duan didn't dare to refuse, and immediately seized the opportunity, "Thank you, my lord, for your recommendation."

Gao Ming took out a letter from his sleeve, "This letter, I have already written it, you take this letter to the Taiwei Mansion in Tokyo, and someone will arrange for you. In the letter between me and my father, there will be You can rest assured when you mention this."

It turned out that Gao Zhifu even wrote the recommendation letter, it was so considerate, Huangfu took the recommendation letter with both hands, "Adults love you so much, villains are unforgettable."

Gao Ming said that you are welcome, exchanged some pleasantries, and let Huangfu Duan leave.

Presumably, with the letter of recommendation, he will head for a better future.

In fact, in the established plot, talents like Huangfu Duan also have a good ending. Going to Liangshan is more like going to be plated with a layer of gold. On the contrary, it has reached another peak.

It can be seen that the imperial court can also distinguish who is a real hero with blood on his hands and who is a technical talent who is harmless to humans and animals.

Gao Ming and Hua Rong once suspected that the sickness of the horses was sabotaged by people with ulterior motives. After a thorough investigation, it was later proved that horses in the nearby state capitals were sick, and it should be a seasonal horse epidemic. .

Under Gao Ming's rule, Mengzhou City is thriving and orderly. In fact, Gao Ming believes in "Give God what is God's, and Caesar's what is Caesar's." , Those bosses who are monkey spirits know how to make money.

They also really know how to make money. Ever since Gao Ming reminded them that they could set up an outside theater, not only did they have a stage set up, but even the miscellaneous scripts were written.

I have also considered other forms of presentation, but after much deliberation, Zaju is still more accessible and has a wider audience.

Money can turn ghosts around. There are so many literati in this dynasty. Although there are noble ones, there are quite a few who are willing to go to sea in front of money. It is easy to write a miscellaneous script.

In a hotel, a stage was set up in the lobby on the first floor, and they took the lead in performing "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" to the diners, and the heroine was Zhu Yingyu.

And the story combines various attractive elements in one, whether it is sweet or sweet or cruel or cruel.

Men's clothing: attracting people's imagination; getting along with each other: sweet; turning into a butterfly: poignant and moving.

Variety drama and hotel: fire.

Looking at the other hotels, why, the idea came from Gao Zhifu, and you have no reason to monopolize it. Since Zhu Yingyu has already played Zhu Yingtai, Master Gao's entrustment has been completed, and the rest doesn't matter so much.

If you act, I will act too.

For a while, the floor was full of wishes for Yingtai.

As a result, some hotels discovered that customers love to see beauties, and even Liang Shanbo was replaced by a woman. As expected, the number of customers soared.

If other people see that you, Liang Shanbo, are playing the opposite role, then I, Zhu Yingtai and Liang Shanbo, will use men to snatch the guests back.

When people from all over the world heard about this, they all came to watch the excitement. Apart from merchants, there were also more and more tourists from well-to-do families in Happy Forest.

There are also people from Tokyo. In the past, only people went to Tokyo to get a share. I didn't expect to attract people from Tokyo.

The popularity is high, and good things also flow here. Delicious and delicate, rich in nectar and jade liquid, only those that cannot be consumed, and those that are not sold by Happy Forest.

In just a few months, the scale of Happy Forest is not much bigger than when Gao Ming first came here. It is said that the building is still being built on the edge and continues to expand.

It is said that a gang of robbers came over and planned to rob and do a vote, but they arrived at Happy Forest in the middle of the night.

Good guy, the city that never sleeps, in the middle of the night, every house is still brightly lit, and the streets are full of people, who don't sleep.

But he came all the time, and broke into a silver building bravely, and said he wanted to rob, but was beaten by a group of strong men with iron rods who rushed out from the backyard, beat him half to death, and turned him away to the yamen.

In the past, every shop liked to keep thugs. In addition, the business has improved recently, and the competition among peers is also fierce. All kinds of powerful men come here to try their luck to make a living. Every one of them is strong and strong, and they catch the bad guys and fight them from the main street of Happy Forest. Not soft in the end.

Mengzhou is thriving. Before, everyone knew that Mengzhou was rich, but they didn't expect it to be so prosperous.

They all know that Gao Zhifu has good governance. Before, they felt that the imperial court sent Gao Ming to Mengzhou to look down on them. Now they feel that the imperial court is too kind to Mengzhou, so they sent Gaozhifu. The only worry now is that Gaozhi The performance of the government is too good, what should I do if I am transferred.

As for Gao Ming, he accepts his father's compliments every day.

Through the letter paper, Gao Ming could see his father's tearful and happy face. In the letter, Gao Qiu boasted about his own children and belittled other people's children, saying that Cai Jiu from Cai Jing's family was the magistrate in Jiangzhou. After so many years of tossing, there is no political achievement.

The final conclusion is that they are not as good as you.

With Gao Qiu as a father, Gao Ming will never feel inferior in his life.

However, Gao Qiu mentioned in his letter that he wanted Gao Ming to have a family and have children, probably because now that the magistrate has been established, he should also think about his life-long affairs.

Gao Ming then replied to his father: No, I will be sick during Chinese New Year, so I can't go back.

After clearly not cooperating, Gao Qiu was so angry that he sent a letter to reprimand him, ordering him to go back to Tokyo during the Chinese New Year.

At that time in Tokyo, his father couldn't control him, let alone his wings are stiff now, so he replied: No, I have to do fire prevention and anti-theft work in Mengzhou during the Chinese New Year, so I can't leave.

Gao Qiu saw that this brat didn't intend to compromise, so he didn't write any more letters.

Gao Ming is happy and quiet, he is free and happy now, getting married?impossible.

The author has something to say:

Besides Liangshan heroes, in the original book, anyone who masters a skill, such as the genius doctor An Daoquan, Xiao Rang who can write hundreds of fonts, veterinarian Huang Fuduan, Jin Dajian who can engrave seals, and Lehe who can sing, all have better endings than the other. Fighting against Fangla on the battlefield, he went to Beijing to get an appointment after being recruited.It can be seen that it is very important to have a skill at any time, even in the world of Water Margin.
