Obtain the divine power at the beginning

“Brother, please!”

Yao Chaohai wanted to follow Shi Tianyu to be an official, but also wanted to drive Tang Meiling away as soon as possible and monopolize the family property.

At this time, seeing that the overall situation had been decided, he no longer had any scruples. He called Shi Tianyu affectionately, took Shi Tianyu's hand, and stepped into the hall of Yao's mansion.

I hate Tang Meiling so much.

All the cash in the house has been transferred away by Tang Meiling.

He was hoping that Tang Meiling would get married quickly so that she wouldn't have to share the Yao family's property anymore.

I feel upset when I see Tang Meiling.

~~
Seeing that Yao Chaohai seemed to benefit the most, Zhuo Shicai could not help but secretly curse Yao Chaohai: Damn it, Yao Chaohai is so slick, he did this as soon as we met! It seems that I have to please Yao Chaohai in the future. This thief proposed a promotion to Shi Tianyu as soon as they met. Shi Tianyu will definitely promote Yao Chaohai when he returns to Fucheng.

It seems that it is only a matter of time before Yao Chaohai becomes the county magistrate.

How could the Yao family be so lucky that they ended up with Shi Tianyu.

Hey, it would be nice if I had a beautiful daughter.

~~
Yan Linshi secretly cursed Shi Tianyu in his heart: Damn, Shi Tianyu is really good at coaxing women!

Why can’t I learn this skill of coaxing beautiful women?

How much money does it cost for me to marry a concubine?

Alas! It is true that the waves behind push the waves in front, and the waves in front die on the beach.

~~
Xun Jinchi's legs felt as if they were soaked in lead and he could not move at all. He stood at the gate of Yao's mansion like a wooden chicken.

Peng Jinshi's eyes were dull and his hands and feet were stiff, like a zombie.

Shi Tianyu walked into the hall and waited for everyone to sit down, then said to Yao Luyang: "Father-in-law, I heard that you rowed a boat for business when you were young, and because of the heavy humidity in rivers, lakes and seas, you developed rheumatism in your arms. I feel distressed to hear this, so I would like to give you two bottles of Qiankun Holy Water to cure your rheumatism." After that, he took out two bottles of Qiankun Holy Water and handed them to Yao Luyang.

~~
The name of Qiankun Holy Water is known to everyone in the martial arts world. It can cure all kinds of poisons, all kinds of diseases, both external and internal injuries, and almost all difficult and complicated diseases in the world.

Yao Luyang was moved by Shi Tianyu's continuous sweet words. He took the two bottles of Qiankun Holy Water, tears welled up in his eyes, and he choked up and said, "This!? Thank you, Mr. Shi! Thank you, my good son-in-law!"

Tang Meiling said curiously: "Husband, this Qiankun Holy Water is the treasure of the Shenshui Palace. How do you have Qiankun Holy Water, and so much of it?" She secretly suspected what the relationship between Shi Tianyu and the Shenshui Palace was.

However, the previous Palace Master of Shenshui Palace, the androgynous Liu Rushi, was killed by Shi Tianyu.

The Shenshui Palace, which had originally surrendered to the Jin soldiers, later changed its palace master, Liu Rufei, and no longer surrendered to the Jin soldiers.

Why did he borrow money and grain from Shi Tianyu, the then commander-in-chief of Liaoxi?

There must be something fishy here.

Could it be that Liu Rufei is secretly having an affair with Shi Tianyu?
~~
Shi Tianyu smiled and said, "I am Yeji Jellyfish's apprentice. I naturally have all the treasures that Shenshui Palace has."

Tang Meiling uttered "hmm", and endless hatred towards Shenshui Palace surged in her heart.

It was decided to send Aobai back to Liaodong later to contact some highly skilled martial artists and completely destroy the Shenshui Palace first.

At the beginning of the year, many highly skilled martial artists were sent to infiltrate the Shenshui Palace, and the people there were devastated.

However, the Shenshui Palace was not completely destroyed.

Moreover, the Palace Master of Shenshui Palace, Liu Rufei, also escaped because Yeji Jellyfish suddenly came back to kill her.

~~
Zhuo Shicai then said admiringly: "When Lord Shi and Miss Tang get married, all the merchants and officials will come to congratulate them. The scene will definitely be very touching." Yan Linshi tried to please him even more, and echoed him: "Of course, Lord Shi's marriage to the daughter of the richest man in Sichuan will definitely shock the court and the public, and become a story of a hero marrying a beautiful woman that will be passed down through the ages."

However, to Tang Meiling, these words were the happiest feeling in her heart.

Although she came here to seize the Ming Dynasty, marrying Shi Tianyu was Tang Meiling's ultimate dream.

At this moment, Tang Meiling was so excited that her hands were shaking. She covered her chest with both hands, and tears of happiness instantly burst out.

~~
Haha! Everyone laughed for a long time.

Shi Tianyu said to Yao Luyang again: "Father-in-law, you, Zhuo Shibo and Yan Shibo have mobilized 600,000 people to participate in the construction of the new urban area of ​​Fucheng. The construction speed is very fast, but you need to give some subsidies to the people so as not to dampen their enthusiasm. This time, the construction fee is paid by the government office, which is different from the usual time. In the past, the cost of road construction and city repairs was paid by father-in-law.

Next, my father-in-law, Zhuo Shibo and Yan Shibo also have shares in the money from selling the house and can also share dividends.

Therefore, my father-in-law, Zhuo Shibo and Yan Shibo must provide some subsidies to the 600,000 people.

Otherwise, we will no longer cooperate with each other in the future."

After all, he was an iron-fisted prefect. As he spoke, he became very serious and his face became extremely cold.

Bringing together the people's hearts and minds is the most important means for Shi Tianyu to rise in the future.

We must never allow Yao Luyang, Zhuo Shicai, Yan Linshi and others to upset the people of Fucheng.

~~
Today, Shi Tianyu has all kinds of connections and resources.

In terms of military strength, it is already extremely strong.

With the support of Xifang Liang and his daughter, Yeji Jellyfish and her daughter, Tiandihui and Mingjiao, he can do whatever he wants in the martial arts world.

In the officialdom, he had the support of Zhu Youxiao, Empress Zhang, Wei Zhongxian, and Wei Xueyan.

In terms of commercial resources, mining areas have been identified, so there is no shortage of businessmen willing to invest.

As for the mine supervisors who represent the imperial court and the emperor, just give them a share of the profits and some bribes.

In other words, Zhu Youxiao, Empress Zhang, Wei Zhongxian and Wei Xueyan are now completely dependent on Shi Tianyu's fundraising for grain and funds.

Even the Donglin ministers Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, Yin Youzhao, Feng Wu and other court ministers who once hated Shi Tianyu to the core, felt that Shi Tianyu was too important in the current Ming Dynasty court.

Now, all Shi Tianyu needs to do is wait for a good opportunity to appear.

~~
Yao Luyang, Zhuo Shicai, and Yan Linshi hurriedly stood up and bowed as usual in response to the order: "Yes!"

Tang Yulin, Tang Meiling and Yao Chaohai burst into laughter.

Shi Tianyu also felt that he was too serious at this time, so he said again: "Father-in-law, the outside is melodious and warm, and the sky is filled with melodious music. I really want to go out for a walk with Ling'er. Please allow me, father-in-law."

Seeing that Peng Jinshi did not enter the hall of Yao's house, he was afraid that Peng Jinshi's emotional illness would relapse, so he did not dare to provoke him in Yao's house. He thought of a solution in a hurry and suggested taking Tang Meiling out for a walk. Yao Luyang noticed the happy tears of his beloved daughter and nodded.

"No, no, no!" Tang Meiling declined shyly.

~~
Shi Tianyu continued to invite calmly, stretched out his hand and held Tang Meiling's hand, and said softly: "Ling'er, I heard that there is a Yi Lake in the suburbs. My husband really wants to go and see it and relax. Please do me a favor."

Zhuo Shicai also hoped that Shi Tianyu would go away. Anyway, the matter had been done. Next, he would discuss the cooperation with Yao Luyang on mining shares, so he persuaded Tang Meiling: "My dear niece, it's rare for Mr. Shi to come to Chengdu. It would be good to go to a place with a better environment. You handsome men and beautiful women can communicate more."

Yan Linshi also hoped that Shi Tianyu could go away so that he could talk to Yao Luyang about the next mining cooperation, so he persuaded Tang Meiling: "Yes, Yi Lake is very beautiful, and my dear niece is a lucky charm for her husband. It would be best if you could accompany Master Shi for a walk.

Perhaps Lord Shi will come up with a new idea after observing the scenery, and will launch another move in Fucheng that will shock the people of the court and the country! Now, the Little West Lake in the new urban area of ​​Fucheng is a good idea that Lord Shi came up with when he was visiting the West Lake in Jiangnan.

At present, more and more tourists come to Fucheng to visit Xiaoxihu and see ice sculptures, which has boosted the food and accommodation industry and also encouraged many people to sell local specialties, making many people rich. Under the governance of Mr. Shi, Fucheng has been thriving and all industries are thriving. "

~~
Yao Chaohai hated Tang Meiling in his heart and wished she would leave quickly, so he persuaded her, "Sister, Yihu is just outside the city, very close to our home, and you can come back later, go ahead."

In front, there were Shi Tianyu's sweet words to please her, and in the back, there were two wealthy businessmen's auspicious blessings.

Therefore, Tang Yulin also advised Tang Meiling to take Shi Tianyu out for a walk, saying: "Ling'er, you should go out for a walk with Master Shi. He has come from afar and just attended the meeting of the Governor's Mansion. It is a rare opportunity for him to go out and relax."

Helpless, Tang Meiling had to nod in agreement.

Shi Tianyu then took Tang Meiling's hand and walked out of Yao's house.

Xun Jinchi was still standing at the gate of Yao's mansion in a daze, unable to react.

~~
The groom was originally Zhuo Shicai's man. When he saw Shi Tianyu coming out hand in hand with Tang Meiling, he hurriedly bowed to greet them.

Shi Tianyu hugged Tang Meiling and got into the carriage.

The coachman hurriedly followed Shi Tianyu's instructions, rode his horse out of the city and headed straight for Yi Lake.

Soon, we arrived at Yi Lake outside the city.

~~
Shi Tianyu jumped off the carriage, turned around, opened his arms, hugged Tang Meiling and got off the car, and said, "My wife, look, the scenery is so beautiful! It's so good to be with you!" He helped Tang Meiling to stand up, pointed at the beautiful scenery of Yi Lake, then held Tang Meiling in his arms and kissed her again.

The coachman hurriedly hid in the carriage, fearing that he would be killed for peeking at the scene.

~~
Tang Meiling and Shi Tianyu had been separated for many years. When she was surrounded by Shi Tianyu's warmth again, she seemed a little nervous and uneasy.

My body and mind were shaking uncontrollably, my heart was beating faster, and my whole body was hot.

Shi Tianyu separated Tang Meiling's hand and walked slowly along the shore of Yi Lake.

The quiet green trees surround the clear lake.

The shimmering lake water flows up and down, forming waterfalls with a gurgling sound.

Shi Tianyu praised with emotion: "Wow! Beautiful people and beautiful scenery, life is so beautiful!"

After saying that, he hugged Tang Meiling into his arms again.

Tang Meiling pushed Shi Tianyu away, suddenly got angry, and questioned Shi Tianyu: "Why did you ask my parents for marriage only now? How many years have you delayed my youth? Is this what you call love for me?"

~~
Shi Tianyu sighed and said, "Alas! I have been surrounded and attacked by people in the martial arts world. If I don't take my position seriously, I will have no guards to protect me. In addition, your senior brother is trapped in love, and people in the martial arts world keep harassing the three thousand-year-old temples in Fucheng. Therefore, I have to wait patiently for the opportunity.

Now, I am already a second-rank official, and it is almost time for me to revitalize Fucheng.

Moreover, under the pretext of protecting the Qiansui Temple, I have recruited 300 constables and more than 6,000 soldiers. The current group of experts in the Fucheng government office is enough to deal with those people in the martial arts world. Your senior brother's emotional injury is gradually getting better. It's time to marry you."

Although he sighed, he also gave a reasonable explanation.

Tang Meiling's eyes were no longer filled with anger and embarrassment, but were replaced by comfort and joy.

~~
The green trees, green water and green grass of Yi Lake are integrated into one.

Shi Tianyu embraced Tang Meiling again and whispered, "Zhuo Shicai and Yan Linshi are very good at dealing with people. They were originally asked by people in the Northwest Wushu World to be matchmakers for us. So, they would take advantage of our grand wedding to sneak in and secretly poison or assassinate us to death." Tang Meiling was so scared that she screamed, "What? What what?"

~~
Shi Tianyu explained: "However, in order to please me, Zhuo Shicai and Yan Linshi wanted to seize the mining rights in Anzi County, so they told me about the assassination plan of the Northwest Wulin people.

And those people in the martial arts world simultaneously implemented the assassination plan at our wedding, and simultaneously sent people to destroy the Qiansui Temple, and also took this opportunity to rob the property of the Yao Mansion. Therefore, it is impossible for the two of us to hold a grand wedding to avoid being attacked, to avoid the Qiansui Temple being destroyed, and to avoid the Yao Mansion being robbed.

We can only invite a small number of wealthy merchants and some officials from the Fucheng government to attend our wedding.

Please explain this clearly to your father, but there is no need to resent Zhuo Shicai and Yan Linshi.

Because they are businessmen.

Merchants are profit-driven; this is their nature, and your father is the same.

However, we see through it but don’t point it out, and we see through it but don’t expose it.”

Tang Meiling nodded thoughtfully.

Shi Tianyu held Tang Meiling's hand and called Zhouzi over.

The two of them rowed a boat on the lake, watched the fish from the covered bridge, and drank tea on the shore, which was a special experience.

There is a covered bridge along the water, and fish are swimming back and forth in the lake.

The tourists watching on both sides were laughing and talking happily.

~~
Shi Tianyu was inspired to write poetry. He embraced Tang Meiling with a smile and recited in a low voice: "The cicadas are chirping in the tall willows. The song of picking water chestnuts is interrupted by the autumn wind. The evening clouds are like a bun. The mountains above the lake are green. The curtains are rolled up in the west building. The rain makes my sleeves cool."

Handsome men and beautiful women enjoyed a leisurely tour of Yi Lake, attracting the attention and admiration of tourists. Some people were jealous and abused Shi Tianyu and Tang Meiling:
"Hey, isn't that the eldest daughter of the Yao family? Is she going to have a handsome brother by her side so soon?"

"Hey, that brother Jun seems to be Mr. Shi, the prefect of Fucheng?"

"What a handsome man and beautiful woman, a perfect match!"

"Wow! So it's really Mr. Shi and Miss Tang! They are a perfect match, a story that will be passed down through the ages!"

"Wealthy and noble! Wealthy means wealth, and official position means nobility. Miss Tang is rich, and Lord Shi is an official. Miss Tang and Lord Shi are together, which is a typical example of wealth and nobility."

"Damn it, no wonder the young master couldn't hook up with Tang Meiling, it turns out she already has a lover."

"My god, the young master came to the Yao Mansion yesterday to ask for marriage, and Old Man Yao said that Tang Meiling was young, but today she is paired with Shi Tianyu. Old Man Yao is such a piece of shit, he tells lies all the time, and that profiteer Yao Luyang is full of nonsense, not a single word of truth is told."

"Brother, you are such a fool! The richest man is also a human being and can lie just as well!"

"Are you being a jerk? Shi Tianyu is the iron-fisted prefect. Do you want to be hanged on a bamboo pole on the city wall by Shi Tianyu like Bai Youyou by talking nonsense?"

I don’t know whether it was Shi Tianyu’s singing to the wind and the moon that startled the tourists, or whether the tourists recognized Tang Meiling first, but suddenly, no one was appreciating the beautiful scenery and only people were appreciating people.

~~
The pavilions, bridges, and boats on the lakeside were immediately filled with a gust of foam.

No matter it was praise or criticism, it made Tang Meiling feel excited.

Before they knew it, Tang Meiling and Shi Tianyu were snuggling together.

Dusk falls and the sun sets.

Shi Tianyu and Pang Meiling left Yihu, but told the groom: "Uncle, leave a horse for me, you go first."

Tang Meiling looked at Shi Tianyu in confusion. In an instant, her pretty face turned red again and she angrily scolded Shi Tianyu: "What do you want to do? You can't touch my body before entering the bridal chamber. I'm not stupid, don't always think of taking advantage of me."

~~
Shi Tianyu smiled and said, "We made a promise at Yihu Lake for three lifetimes. My lady, let's ride on a horse together and have some romance. Didn't many tourists recognize us just now? My husband wants to let the world know that if he wants to marry Tang Meiling, there is only one man in the world who can match him."

After saying that, he hugged Tang Meiling and jumped on the horse.

~~
Tang Meiling was once again moved by Shi Tianyu's warmth and passion, and happiness welled up in her heart again.

Shi Tianyu hugged Tang Meiling and rode away on his horse.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, there was thunder in the sky, dark clouds gathered, and lightning flashed across the sky.

Tang Meiling sat in the front, swaying in Shi Tianyu's arms, and said worriedly: "Husband, please ride back home quickly, it's going to rain."

"Pah pah!" Raindrops as big as beans suddenly fell.

Shi Tianyu smiled and said, "People may not keep us here, but heaven does. We can't leave, and we will catch a cold if we get wet in the rain. Let's go to a farmhouse in front to take shelter from the rain." He raised his hand and pointed to a thatched farmhouse in front, then rode his horse straight to the thatched house.

Then, he leaped down holding Tang Meiling, and stood under the eaves with her in his arms.

The rain instantly soaked Tang Meiling's clothes, and the two peaks on her chest were faintly visible as they trembled slightly in the cold wind.

Shi Tianyu asked with concern: "Are you cold? Come in and see the owner, sit by the fire and warm yourself up."

After saying that, he let go of Tang Meiling's hand, walked to the wooden door of the thatched hut, and knocked gently.

There was no response, so there should be no one inside.

~~
The mountain breeze was blowing softly and the cold rain was falling continuously. Even the horses had to go under the eaves to take shelter from the rain.

Tang Meiling suddenly felt a little cold and quickly hugged her arms to block the cold wind.

Shi Tianyu knocked on the door again, but there was still no response, so he pushed the door open and walked in.

He scanned the room with his pair of golden eyes and found that there was indeed no one inside.

Shi Tianyu then said, "Madam, it turns out that this is a dilapidated house that has been in disrepair for a long time and no one lives in it. Come in, it won't be too late to leave after taking shelter from the rain." After that, he turned sideways and waved to Tang Meiling who was outside.

He went in first, gathered up some dead firewood and broken wood, waved his hand gently, slapped out a miniature flame knife, and started a fire.

Tang Meiling had no choice but to follow him in and asked suspiciously: "Why are there no water drops on your body? My clothes are all wet."
Shi Tianyu smiled and said, "I know Kunlun Blazing Flame Technique! Do you know it?"

Tang Meiling smiled, "Hehe", very beautiful and charming.

Shi Tianyu said, "Sit down for a while and dry your clothes. When the rain stops, hurry back to avoid worrying your father-in-law."

He waved to Tang Meiling, motioning her to sit down.

Tang Meiling looked at the house covered with dust, shook her head, and squatted in front of the fire.

Shi Tianyu laughed and said, "Haha! Are you afraid of getting it dirty? My husband will prepare it for you to sit on."

Then he moved the broken bed board to the fire, took off his robe and spread it on the bed board, and said with a smile: "You can sit now."

Tang Meiling's heart was once again moved by Shi Tianyu's tenderness and thoughtfulness, and she whispered, "Will you feel cold if you take off your robe?"

~~
Shi Tianyu laughed and said, "Have you heard of those ice sculptures on the streets of Fucheng? I can freeze others, so how can I be afraid of the cold?"

After saying that, he reached out and pulled Tang Meiling to sit next to him.

Tang Meiling stretched out her hand to lift the hair that was stuck to her forehead, and asked, "My husband, which sect are you from? I heard that Tian Lufeng, the best detective in Sichuan, defeated you in just a few moves. In the battles of Qiansui Temple, countless masters died tragically at your hands, and even Xie Zhichuan was killed by you. In fact, what you said before in my house, that you were the apprentice of Yeji Jellyfish, must have been a joke."

His tone became much softer, but he also wanted to get some secrets out of Shi Tianyu.

~~
How did Shi Tianyu know that Tang Meiling was Nurhaci's daughter?

Thinking about the fact that he was about to get married to Tang Meiling and the wedding was about to be held, he said frankly: "Which sect am I from? I don't know. My basic martial arts were taught by my father. Since I was fifteen years old, I have been hunted, besieged and assassinated by martial artists for six years, but I also learned martial arts from many sects. Therefore, my martial arts are pieced together, blending the strengths of hundreds of schools."

Tang Meiling asked in astonishment: "My father? My father-in-law? Isn't your father Shi Wangyuan? Isn't he just a small businessman selling horses?

I know him too! Your household registration is fake.

At that time, you had just met me and Shi Wangyuan. He didn't know martial arts! "I once traveled by water with Shi Wangyuan's family, and was escorted to Kyoto by Jiangnan martial artists such as Xie Wen. I knew that Shi Wangyuan didn't know martial arts.

~~
Shi Tianyu nodded and said, "That's right! In fact, I am an orphan. I recognized Shi Wangyuan as my adoptive father when I arrived in Hangzhou. I only knew him before I met you.

However, I did meet a good mentor, Yeji Jellyfish, which enabled me to make rapid progress in martial arts.

It was she who taught me many times how to practice various martial arts skills, and it was also she who helped me master the best skills.

She is my true martial arts mentor. Without her help, I would have died a hundred times already. "

When I think of the past, my eyes become red.

~~
Tang Meiling moved closer to the fire, warming her clothes. Her face was also illuminated by the fire and glowed red. She also exuded a seductive and elegant body fragrance. She tilted her head and apologized, "My husband, I'm sorry for causing you grief."

In the firelight, on that pretty rosy face, a pair of beautiful eyes revealed guilt and concern, and full of love.

Shi Tianyu said: "It's nothing. It's also a kind of happiness to be able to tell the stories of the past to the one you love."

He reached out and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, then smiled indifferently.

~~
When Tang Meiling heard this, she felt delighted and smiled shyly with a hint of anger in her smile.

Shi Tianyu turned his head to look at Tang Meiling lovingly. Through her light yellow dress, he could vaguely see her snow-white skin and the mountains and valleys. He then put his arm around Tang Meiling and held her in his arms.

The two men slowly fell onto the broken wooden boards, and just like the violent storm outside, they stirred up gusts of wind and huge waves in the room.

After a long time, the rain stopped and the wind stopped.

~~
Shi Tianyu climbed up from Tang Meiling and put on his clothes.

Tang Meiling asked shyly while getting dressed: "This time, my father participated in the construction of the new city district of Fucheng. I didn't receive a penny of the money allocated by the Fucheng government. Next, my father will participate in the mining business. Can you let Zhuo Shicai and Yan Linshi count the money I earn as my share? After I marry you, I will no longer have a share of the Yao family's money. Now, Yao Chaohai is eager for me to get married soon, but the Yao family has treated my mother and me badly. I will definitely take the cash."

In fact, it was for the benefit of the Jin soldiers.

The Jin soldiers also needed huge supplies of money and food to fight in Liaodong.

Tang Meiling, since coming to the Yao family, has made great contributions to the Jin soldiers, secretly contributing 6 million taels of silver to the Jin soldiers. But Tang Meiling is such a beautiful fairy-like girl, who would have thought that she was a spy sent by the Jin soldiers to sneak into the Middle Earth?

~~
Shi Tianyu nodded and said tenderly, "Yes! Zhuo Shicai and Yan Linshi dare not disobey my words. I will tell them to give you half of their shares and set up an account for you directly in Yujing Chain Bank. Let them deposit their monthly income in cash into Yujing Chain Bank, exchange it for Tongchao silver bills, and secretly give it to you."

~~
Tang Meiling was deeply moved. Her eyes were covered with a layer of mist, which turned into dewdrops, sparkling and dripping.

Suddenly, she threw herself into Shi Tianyu's arms, and said coquettishly, shyly, and angrily, "You must come and marry me soon!"

She had already made up her mind that as long as she became Mrs. Shi, all the wealthy businessmen in Fucheng would become Tang Meiling's pawns and the pawns of the Jin soldiers in the future. Under Tang Meiling's instructions, they would continuously supply money and food to the Jin soldiers in Liaodong.

Now, the Jin soldiers have only three places left to capture in the Liaodong region: Jinzhou, Ningyuan and Pidao.

Every time the Jin soldiers were about to capture Jinzhou and Ningyuan, they ran out of money and food, which resulted in them never being able to capture Jinzhou and Ningyuan.

Purchasing muskets and red cannons also requires huge expenses.

Because Pi Island is located in Liaodong Bay, the Jin soldiers are not good at naval battles and have no large ships, so they can only allow Mao Wenlong to cause trouble.

However, Mao Wenlong's tribe in Pi Island is not a cause for concern.

Mao Wenlong's only role was to occasionally attack Shengjing, and he did not play a decisive role in the entire Liaodong.

As long as Nurhaci left a light cavalry and a small number of infantry in Shengjing, it would be enough to deal with the attack of Mao Wenlong's troops.

As long as Jinzhou and Ningyuan were captured, Shanhaiguan would be under Nurhaci's nose.

~~
Shi Tianyu nodded and said, "Yes! I am yours for the rest of my life."

Then he gently let go of Tang Meiling, took her hand, and walked out of the room.

He picked up Tang Meiling, jumped on his horse, and rode back to the city.

The air is fresh after the rain and the breeze is cool and pleasant.

A spring rain made Shi Tianyu's heart moist, and he felt a sense of sudden enlightenment.

His emotions also exude the taste of sweetness after bitterness.

~~
Shi Tianyu held Tang Meiling in his arms and galloped on the streets of Chengdu. He was like a beautiful girl, looking forward to a bright future. Afterwards, he got off the horse at a tailor shop and asked Tang Meiling to ride back home alone, saying that he was going to find an inn to bathe and change clothes, and would later host a banquet for Yao Luyang, Zhuo Shicai, Yan Linshi and their families at the Caolu Inn.

Tang Meiling nodded tenderly, then rode back home alone.

When Shi Tianyu saw Tang Meiling riding away on horseback, he walked into the master bedroom of the system space garden to take a shower and change clothes.

~~
Hearing the sound of horse hooves, Yao Chaohai walked out of the Yao residence. Seeing Tang Meiling's clothes were wet and her hair was messy, he pretended to be distressed and said, "Sister, why did you come back so late? Oh, you're still wet from the rain. Hurry up, change your clothes, don't catch a cold, don't catch a cold and get sick."

Yao Luyang also came out upon hearing the voice and asked with concern, "Where is Lord Shi?"

I can't change my mind for the time being.

~~
Tang Meiling's pretty face flushed as she said, "He's also wet. Let's go find an inn to change clothes and take a bath. I'll host a banquet for you and your two uncles at the Caolu Inn later." After that, she quickly went back to her room to take a bath and change clothes.

The sky after the rain is clear and blue.

The people from Yao's mansion, Zhuo Shicai and Yan Linshi came to the "Thatched Inn".

Shi Tianyu hosted them with great ceremony.

~~
Three cups of wine.

Shi Tianyu turned his head and said to Yao Chaohai, "Brother, you can go to Pingting County to be a county magistrate. You will be promoted as an exception because of your contribution to protecting the Qiansui Temple in Guxiang County. Later, I will find an opportunity to let you be a county magistrate in other counties. Kong Fangming, the county magistrate of Pingting County, is very talented. Promote him to the government office as a prosecutor, and promote Ma Dehui to Guxiang County as a chief clerk."

Yao Luyang and his son Yao Chaohai immediately broke into smiles and were extremely excited.

Upon hearing this, Peng Jinshi felt very angry and thought to himself: There are so many vacancies in the Fucheng government office, why don't you let me go?

Oh, forget it. How can I be greedy for those good positions?
Only if I stay with Shi Tianyu can I better spy on the military secrets of the Ming Dynasty!
~~
Zhuo Shicai calculated that Shi Tianyu would not be the prefect of Fucheng for long, so he wanted to support Yao Chaohai to be the county magistrate.

Only through collusion between officials and businessmen can greater profits be made.

So, he said to Shi Tianyu: "Sir, Dai Yugang is illiterate, but he can be the county magistrate of Pingting County. After all, Master Yao is a scholar and the son of the richest man in Sichuan. He should be the county magistrate. Now, let Master Yao be Dai Yugang's assistant. Maybe someone will talk about it later!"

Who would have known that Dai Yuguang’s three beautiful sisters all married Shi Tianyu?

Now, they are all pregnant with Shi Tianyu's child!
~~
Shi Tianyu thought so too, thinking: If Yao Chaohai had three sisters as beautiful as Tang Meiling to marry me, I would let Yao Chaohai become the county magistrate directly! Hehe! It's a pity that Yao Chaohai only has one beautiful sister, so let's promote him step by step.

I thought so in my heart, but I couldn’t say it out loud.

Then he said tactfully: "Dai Yugang has a background! He is a relative of Wei Jiuqiansui. In a while, it is possible that he will directly become the prefect."

After saying this, he stood up and poured wine for the three Yin merchants.

~~
Yao Luyang, Zhuo Shicai, Yan Linshi and others were stunned. They had not expected that Dai Yuguang’s backing was so strong.

After being stunned for a while, Yan Linshi spoke well of Yao Chaohai again and said to Shi Tianyu: "Master Shi, Master Yao wants to work with you in the government office! He will make rapid progress with you. Now, even He Sihai has become the county magistrate."

Shi Tianyu shook his head and said, "He Sihai is a man of talent. He also has a good background. He is the younger brother of He Baofu, the governor of Kunyang Prefecture. He has made contributions in protecting the Qiansui Temple and was originally a juren. Therefore, it is normal for him to be promoted quickly.

In addition, with the marriage between Shi and Yao, it would not be good for Brother Chaohai to serve directly in the government office, as it would cause criticism from both the government and the public. Now, Pingting County is going to build 100 stone arch bridges. After they are built, we will reward them based on their merits. By then, Brother Chaohai will naturally be promoted.”

After such analysis, the reasons given are very sufficient.

~~
When Zhuo Shicai heard this, he thought of the many projects in Pingting County. He thought that after Yao Chaohai became the county magistrate in Pingting County, he could let him take over some projects and also let him enclose some fields. So he quickly changed his mind and said, "Yes, yes, yes! It's a good thing to let Master Yao gain more experience at the county level."

Yao Chaohai was overjoyed and quickly said, "Thank you, Brother Shi! When will you return to Fucheng? I will go with you!"

He was so impatient that he was thinking of following Shi Tianyu to Fucheng overnight and becoming the county magistrate of Pingting County tomorrow.

~~
Shi Tianyu nodded, and reminded Yao Chaohai, saying, "When you arrive in Fucheng tomorrow morning, you don't have to go to the government office. I will ask Jiang Xiaozhi to take you to Pingting County to take up your post, and at the same time send Liu Laifu to escort Ma Dehui to Guxiang County to take up his post."

Xun Jinchi had a gloomy face the whole time, but suddenly he blurted out, "Shi, Shi, Brother Shi, Jinchi also wants to go with Junior Brother Chaohai."

Shi Tianyu did not answer but asked: "Where is Senior Brother Bai?"

He was very concerned about Bai Jiaxin who had been serving tea and wine.

I also know very well what Xun Jinchi wants.

Just agree to them. As the prefect, it would be easy for me to create a few vacancies to accommodate these people.

I only hope that in the future, the Yao family can also be used by me.

As long as it's popular.

The Yao family was very excited to see that Shi Tianyu could arrange so many people in the Yao family to be officials. They all thought it was great to have a relative who was an official! Who would dare to bully our Yao family in the future?

~~
Bai Jiaxin said, "Brother Shi, Senior Brother Peng, Senior Brother Xun, and Junior Brother Chao Hai are going to follow you, and Junior Sister is going to marry in Fucheng, so I will stay at the Yao Mansion. I will be the only one left in front of Master."

He didn't think about becoming an official, but instead proposed to serve Yao Luyang until the end of his life. He is really a good disciple.

Upon hearing this, Shi Tianyu could not help but respect Bai Jiaxin and said, "Okay! I'll toast to Senior Brother Bai."

After they clinked their glasses and put down their glasses, Yao Luyang's face was already filled with excitement and tears.

Tang Meiling thought: Although Shi Tianyu is very good to me, I can't fall into his gentle trap. I still need to help the Khan to plan the great cause of the Central Plains. " Her eyes were also wet, but her mind changed instantly.

~~
Zhuo Shicai was thinking about making a lot of money from mining, so he also said, "Master Shi, I will follow you back to Fucheng tonight."

Shi Tianyu shook his head and said, "You can leave tomorrow and discuss with my father-in-law how to ensure that you can participate in the mining smoothly without showing up. At the same time, circle some names and invite them to attend the wedding of me and Ling'er on the Mid-Autumn Festival. Remember, it's a small group. In addition, please divide some of the mining shares of Zhuo Shibo and Yan Shibo equally among them and give them to Ling'er.

In the future, she will marry me, and she won't be able to make a living, so I have to give her a bowl of rice to eat. There are so many mines in Anzi County, you will definitely make a lot of money, and we can make money together. It's really good for everyone."

~~
Tang Meiling was overjoyed and her eyes immediately filled with tears.

Although marrying Shi Tianyu was a huge conspiracy, it was to better lurk in Middle-earth, make money and steal important military secrets.

However, seeing that Shi Tianyu valued his promises and kept his word so much, I was really touched.

~~
Yan Linshi thought about it and agreed happily, clapping his hands and cheering: "Great! Mid-Autumn Festival is the time when the moon is full and people are together. Lord Shi chooses such a good time to get married. He will definitely live happily with my good niece until old age. I will invite all the merchants I know in Sichuan to attend and sponsor all the expenses of Lord Shi's wedding."

Tang Meiling immediately questioned Shi Tianyu: "Didn't you ask Zhuo Shibo to invite some skilled sorcerers to calculate a good day before setting the wedding date? Why do you have to make the decisions on everything?" Her pretty face flushed and she pouted.

She felt somewhat conflicted and didn't want to hold a wedding with Shi Tianyu so soon.

~~
Yao Luyang said, "Ling'er, Dad agrees. Dad also hopes that you will have a good home. You must learn to cook in the future!"

He was so excited that he took Tang Meiling's hand and taught her something.

Tang Meiling lowered her head shyly, thinking: I really want to marry Shi Tianyu, but the Khan doesn't know about it yet!

How could I hide such an important event in my life from the Khan?

After I finish drawing the blueprint of the mountains, rivers and passes of the Ming Dynasty, I still have to return to Shengjing. What should I do with Shi Tianyu in the future?

If Shi Tianyu and I had children, how could I abandon my husband and children?
~~
At this time, Wang Chao hurriedly found the "Grassroots Inn" and bowed to Shi Tianyu and said, "Master Shi, Master Lu sent people to look for you everywhere. I just met Dai Kun, and he asked you to go to the Governor's Mansion as soon as possible."

I was very anxious, running around, looking for people everywhere, and was sweating profusely from exhaustion.

Shi Tianyu smiled and said, "Okay, Lord Wang, in order to make achievements for you, Lord Wang, Mr. Yao has invested money to build the new city district of Fucheng. What do you think? Let Yao Chaohai go to Pingting County to be the county magistrate? Kong Fangming, the county magistrate of Pingting County, is very talented. Let's promote Kong Fangming to be the magistrate of the government office? Xun Jinchi, Mr. Yao's favorite disciple, is good at both literature and martial arts. Let him go to Pingting County to be a captain of the police or something like that."

Wang Chao said helplessly: "Everything is up to Lord Shi."

He hated Shi Tianyu in his heart, but there was nothing he could do. Shi Tianyu was good at raising food and funds, and he was very popular and famous.

As long as Wei Zhongxian and Zhu Youxiao do not touch Shi Tianyu, no one can take away Shi Tianyu's official hat.

~~
Shi Tianyu then said goodbye to Yao Luyang and others.

~~
Zhuo Shicai said with emotion: "Mr. Yao, congratulations! Look how smart Lord Shi is as an official!"

After Shi Tianyu and Wang Chao left, he raised his finger and praised Yao Luyang for his vision.

Yan Linshi also praised: "My dear niece, your smile is so sweet!"

Then he tried to please Tang Meiling.

Everyone laughed.

The Yao couple burst into laughter.

~~
The lights in the governor's mansion were bright.

"This subordinate greets the two masters!"

Shi Tianyu rode his horse to the governor's mansion, but saw Lu Yuan and Xu Li pacing in front of the gate with their hands behind their backs. He hurriedly dismounted and bowed to greet them.

Xu Li was very friendly and greeted him with a smile: "Brother, you're welcome."

Shi Tianyu thought: It seems that Xu Li came to me to ask for money. Hehe!
Lu Yuan said in surprise: "Master Shi, it's a good thing that you are still in Chengdu. Come on, come in and have a seat and taste the good tea from Sichuan."

She was very enthusiastic and walked into the mansion holding Shi Tianyu's hand.

~~
As they walked, Shi Tianyu flattered them, "I congratulate you two gentlemen. You have raised nearly two million taels of silver in just half an hour. This is truly an unprecedented feat!" Of course, he also wanted to ask Xu Li how much money he had raised.

Xu Li sighed and told the truth, then sighed and said, "Oh! Brother, I am worried about this matter!
Don’t be fooled by the bustle in the court of the Governor’s Mansion yesterday, with people donating so much and so much, but you and Lu Wangyue are the only two people who can actually allocate funds and receive the full amount.

The prefect of Bazhong pledged 100,000 taels of silver, and the prefect of Panxiang pledged 80,000 taels of silver, but in fact only 10,000 taels of silver were received.

All the other prefects and county governors wrote IOUs, but the prefect of Nan'an and the county governor of Bazhong did not even write an IOU.

The amount of money I actually raised was only 390,000 taels of silver."

~~
Shi Tianyu asked in confusion: "Where is Lord Dai? The Salt Transport Bureau is so rich, can't his money be deposited all at once?"
