On the third day, Xun You and Xia Wan left Yangquan and returned to Luoyang.
In response to the Emperor's question, Lu Peng simply used the words " the divine item will naturally be restored if you cultivate benevolent government " to prevaricate. After all, persuading the Emperor to govern benevolent government was a panacea.
Xun You actually wanted to stay for two more days. He was indeed interested in Yangquan County under Lu Peng's governance.
However, he was a little frightened. This county magistrate even said that the emperor might die... Hmm...
Farewell.
After the two of them left, Lu Peng didn't pay much attention to them. He immediately began to conduct a household registration survey in Yangquan.
From now on, all the registered citizens, whether they were former residents or new refugees, were the first batch of Yangquan citizens.
There were a total of 4,774 people, including the villages near the county town.
This group of people would be Lu Peng's foundation. He would also make this group of people the envy of the entire world in the future.
He wanted a young man with Yangquan household registration to be able to directly kidnap beautiful girls when he went out. He had to be able to kidnap a bunch of them.
As his prestige continued to rise, his skill points broke through 100 again. This time, of course, he was going to unlock the market.
With enough food, the commodity economy gradually began to circulate. It was usually in the form of a market, and Lu Peng directly built a market in the east of the city.
With the development of Yangquan, the market would become larger and larger, and it should be able to attract merchants from other places.
Lu Kang had come to collect his debts. He didn't know how much grain Lu Peng had collected, but he knew it was a good harvest.
In the end, after this old fellow took the four hundred stones, he blew his beard and glared at him."Didn't you say you'd pay me back double?"
Lu Peng's eyes widened as well." You're telling the truth in front of so many people? You're a magistrate who doesn't keep his word?"”
" I don't care." Lu Kang stroked his beard and smiled." I just know that you've made a fortune this time. You should share it with everyone who sees it." Sigh, your uncle is in trouble. There are refugees everywhere and people are starving to death.”
Lu Peng was only joking. He would always remember those who had helped him.
In the end, he returned Lu Kang 700 stones of grain. Governor Lu was satisfied and sighed,""It would be great if every county magistrate in the world had a talent like Nephew Peng.”
If every county magistrate is like me, the Han Dynasty will be finished…Lu Peng cursed in his heart.
The weather was getting colder. It was not suitable for farming at this time, so Lu Peng organized the people to start building cities.
The original Yangquan City was dilapidated, small and poor. The city walls were broken and basically had no defense ability.
In the past, building a city was a tough job, and it was often done by the lower-class people and prisoners. Under the leadership of Lu Peng, almost all the people of Yangquan City went to repair the city walls and fill the city walls. The working hours were not long, but with unprecedented enthusiasm, the progress was very fast.
After working for half a day, he could rest leisurely for the rest of the time. Looking at the sky, looking at the fields, bragging to the neighbors, praising Lu Langjun, and then going home to beat up his children and scold his wife. A life with food and clothes was so fulfilling.
However, the most enjoyable thing for the people of Yangquan was listening to Lu Langjun's lectures.
When night fell, everyone would usually just stay at home and sleep early in the morning. However, now, they all walked out of their homes and went to the square in the city.
Lu Peng felt that going to bed so early was too boring. In order to cultivate the people's nightlife awareness, he directly brought out the story of the Journey to the West and told it every night.
There was no doubt about the Great Sage Sun's charm, not to mention that it was personally told by Lu Langjun, who was like a god in the hearts of the people. Everyone regarded it as a story from heaven.
The almighty and ever-changing Monkey Sun soon became the idol of the people of Yangquan. When the children were playing, they all fought to be Sun Wukong. If they couldn't, they would cry and go home to find their parents.
Not only the people, Diao Chan, the two maids, Jiang Yan, Xie Qi, and the others were all engrossed in listening to it. Who had ever heard such an exciting story!
At first, Jiang Yan felt that it was beneath his status to go on stage personally, but Lu Peng ignored his obstruction. Now, Jiang Yan had become an active listener. Every time, he would take a pen and paper and record while listening.
If you can write it down and organize it well, I'll give you a share of the royalties when it's published in the future.
As for the original author, Teacher Wu, there's nothing I can do about it. Who asked you to be born too late? I'm really sorry.
In short, the spiritual life of the people of Yangquan was unprecedentedly enriched. After listening to the story every night, everyone was reluctant to leave. It was also fun to brag and chat with each other in the square. Gradually, it became a habit. They just ran to the square when they had time.
In two months, the habit was formed, and the tall city walls were also built.
Although the county was still not big, the repaired city walls were already quite imposing. Ordinary bandits would stop at the sight of them.
Moreover, the dense arrow towers around the city were Lu Peng's trump card. He could temporarily rest easy in terms of defense.
When winter was about to arrive, Lu Peng received a piece of good news.
