Chapter 73: The autumn harvest season depicts busy farming, while the leisurely mood depicts landscapes

Summer passes and autumn arrives.

The fields are full of people harvesting crops.

It was the busy farming season, and not only the people were busy, but also the magistrates of Zheng Guo's counties personally took the lead in helping.

This picture of harmony between the government and the people, and a harmonious government was also painted into the picture.

A somewhat curious voice sounded: "What are you drawing, Master?"

The speaker was a girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old. She was in her youth and had a pretty and pleasant appearance.

The girl's surname is Jiang and her first name is Jinyu.

Although his family is not very wealthy, it is not lacking in food and clothing. His father is a local master and is highly respected by the villagers.

Many people praised Jiang Jinyu for being beautiful and well-behaved, and that she would marry into a good family in the future.

And among the neighbors, there are countless young men who are in love with her, and the matchmaker who wants to marry her comes to visit her every day.

But Jiang Jinyu was deeply loved by her family, and the Jiang family was not willing to wrong their daughter.

Although even the county magistrate praised Jiang Jinyu's orchid and Huixin, it was a truly beautiful jade.

But Jiang Jinyu looked at the young master in front of him very clearly.

I am just an ordinary Xiaojiabiyu, and the young master in front of me is the real beautiful jade.

The book says that the people in Mo Shang are like jade, and the young master is unparalleled in the world.

The person you are talking about must be the young master, right?
His face is like a crown of jade, his eyes are like stars, his expression is indifferent, and his behavior is calm and gentle, as if nothing in the world can enter his eyes.

He has a temperament like a crane and a pine tree, and his body is always upright, as if nothing can crush his spine.

Be gentle with others and speak in a moderate manner.

Is this handsome young man really a man of this world?

Or a fairy?

Jiang Jinyu still remembered that Jiang Sheng came to Pingyuan County in summer time.

When he first arrived, Jiang Sheng was pale and very weak, and he was swaying a little as he walked, as if he had been caught by the wind and cold.

It happened to be a rainy day, and the heavy rain in summer made Jiang Sheng particularly embarrassed.

Many people saw Jiang Sheng in the rain and felt that Jiang Sheng was seriously ill and was not going to die soon, so they were unwilling to take him in.

But her father, Jiang Dewen, asked Jiang Sheng to rest at Jiang's house.

But within one night, Jiang Sheng's complexion improved a lot, and his body seemed to be less weak.

After a night of recuperation and tidying up, Jiang Sheng directly took out the hundred gold reward, which shocked Jiang Bowen and made him a little scared.

Afterwards, Jiang Bowen had a conversation with Jiang Sheng, and then he accepted the hundred gold.

After this incident spread, people in Pingyuan County said that the Jiang family had good luck and met a noble person.

But it was inevitable that some people would be jealous of a windfall on this day. Soon someone reported that the Jiang family was colluding with evil spirits. Otherwise, how else could we explain that life was so beautiful and could easily produce hundreds of gold?

However, when the county magistrate personally came to Jiang's house to check, he turned around and threw the person who reported the matter into prison.

Since then, Jiang Sheng's status in Pingyuan County has become extraordinary.

Some people say that Jiang Sheng was the son of a certain family, but he came to Pingyuan by accident.

Others say that Jiang Sheng was actually the illegitimate son of a big shot in the imperial court, who was suppressed by his mistress and ended up living here.

There are different opinions, but everyone knows that the Jiang family is really lucky.

When those people's claims reached Jiang Sheng's ears, Jiang Sheng just laughed it off.

He doesn't care about the gossip of ordinary people.

That day, Jiang Sheng and Lin Fan worked together to smash Ma Yunzhe's golden elixir, but they were almost exhausted.

After finally breaking free from the rainbow state, the two fell into the Thousand Layers Valley and lost track of each other.

At that time, Jiang Sheng himself didn't know where he was, but he encountered a monster and came looking for it.

Without even time to recuperate, Jiang Sheng took the elixir and had to deal with the monsters that came after hearing the news.

After going around and around, even Jiang Sheng himself did not expect to come to Zheng State.

In fact, Jiang Sheng had not rested for many days at that time, and was almost exhausted from the constant fighting.

It rained heavily again, but there was not even a trace of spiritual power left in the body to protect against the rain.

If Jiang Dewen hadn't been kind-hearted, Jiang Sheng himself didn't know what would have happened.

But now, after several months of nursing, Jiang Sheng's internal injuries have been repaired to some extent, and all the broken meridians have been healed.

It can be said that Jiang Sheng is stronger now than before.

Because in the previous wars, Jiang Sheng was mostly confident and had been facing the enemy in a calm state. Very few people could force Jiang Sheng to use his full strength.

However, this battle with the real Jin Dan had exhausted his spiritual power, and the meridians in his body were already damaged. However, he kept encountering monsters, forcing Jiang Sheng to drag his wounded body to face the enemy.

After all, not to mention the meridians, many bones in the whole body were broken.

That is to say, Jiang Sheng carried enough pills to support Jiang Sheng until he walked out of the Thousand Layers Valley.

This experience was undoubtedly a valuable experience for Jiang Sheng, and it was also a training for his Taoist heart.

Jiang Sheng has been thinking these days, if he could go back to that day, if he didn't agree to Lin Fan and they didn't fight against the Ma family's golden elixir, would they still end up like this?
If he had been more careful, avoided the monsters, and lurked in Qianzhong Valley for a period of time, would he have been as miserable as when he came to Pingyuan County?

In the end, these thoughts were thrown away by Jiang Sheng.

There are so many ifs and possibilities.

Whatever you do, there is no room for regret once it is done. Now that you have chosen it, you should never look back. Being able to survive this time can be said to be a fluke, but is it not his own luck?

After cutting off the messy thoughts in his mind, Jiang Sheng put down the last stroke and said with a chuckle: "At night, the south wind blows, and the grains and wheat are covered with yellow."

"I haven't seen this busy autumn harvest scene for a long time."

Jiang Jinyu was stunned for a moment. She looked at the scroll in front of her and then at the gentle and gentle young master. She couldn't help but say, "Young Master is truly a man among the gods."

"What kind of immortals are they, they are just people from the mountains and wild areas." Jiang Sheng looked at the scene of busy farming in the distance, but he was thinking about the situation of Zheng Guo in his mind.

The State of Zheng is different from the State of Chu and also different from the State of Qi.

In the Chu State, the twelve major surnames controlled all the resources and divided up the rights of the Chu State.

The three families named Xiong, Zhuang, and Xiang are at the top of the Chu pyramid, and the next nine families are on the second level of the pyramid.

Below are countless small families and all living beings.

The methods of cultivation, resources, and channels for advancement are all controlled by the twelve major surnames.

There are no sects, only families, because the establishment of the Chu State was the result of the combined efforts of the twelve major surnames to open up the territory of the Chu State.

A big surname in Chu State is like the aggregation of a state in Qi State, bringing together all the monks and resources.

Therefore, among the twelve major surnames of Chu State, under the control of their ancestors in the Yuanying realm, Jindan and Zifu emerged one after another.

Each big surname has the ability to initiate war independently.

In the Qi State, the royal family and Taoist palaces controlled most of the power, and the aristocratic families and sects from various places divided the place.

The Zifu family, the Jindan sect, the royal family and the Taoist palace with the Yuan Ying ancestor sitting in charge constitute the imperial court and local classes of Qi State, which are interconnected and orderly.

Because the Qi State is the result of a compromise between the royal family, the largest family, and local aristocratic families, the current Qi State was created.

If there is a war, the imperial court and the Taoist palace will issue a call, and the aristocratic families and sects from all over the country will gather together to form a huge force to deal with any surrounding country.

These are two completely different modes.

As for the State of Zheng, compared with the twelve pillars of the State of Chu, the royal family of Qi State co-governed, which was closer to strong branches and weak branches.

The strongest thing in Zheng State is the royal family, and the royal family is the undoubted controller of Zheng State.

It is rumored that a god-transforming monk came to this area and conquered the territory of Zheng State.

And that monk who transformed into a god was the first emperor of the Zheng Kingdom.

Therefore, the Zheng royal family had the greatest say, and local spiritual forces had to submit to the power of the royal family.

The royal family had absolute power and merged the sects from all over the country into the royal Tianguanyuan, and used the Tianguanyuan to cultivate monks who were loyal to the royal family.

After these monks achieved success in cultivation, they were sent to serve as local officials or as generals in the army.

Nowadays, most of the aristocratic families in Zheng Guo are left behind by those monks.

In today's Zheng State, everyone is eager to worship in Tianguanyuan.

Those who came out of Tianguanyuan in the past generations would serve as local officials and generals, and continue their own families.

Finally when the monk died, the family began to decline.

If their descendants can worship in Tianguanyuan, the family will naturally have the possibility of prosperity. If they cannot worship in Tianguanyuan, then they will decline and dissipate, completing a reincarnation.

Zheng Guo used Tian Guan Yuan to win over all the monks in Zheng Guo and took Tian Guan Yuan as their goal.

There are even grand martial arts gatherings held every few years to attract casual cultivators scattered among the people.

As long as the casual cultivators have outstanding ability and can reach the forefront of the martial arts association, Zheng Guo will support them with high-ranking officials and generous salaries.

All these actions were aimed at strengthening the weak branches, and the Zheng royal family was able to sit firmly in the temple for thousands of years.

The magistrate of Pingyuan County in Zheng Guo once discussed the systems of various countries with Jiang Sheng, and bluntly said that Zheng Guo's system was undoubtedly the best, fair to everyone, and the people's lives were the most peaceful.

Jiang Sheng did not refute this, but just smiled and nodded in agreement.

He didn't bother to say anything back.

Jiang Jinyu watched quietly as Jiang Sheng put the busy farming scroll aside, casually spread out a piece of white paper, and once again described the distant mountains and rivers.

I don't know why, but Jiang Jinyu likes to be by Jiang Sheng's side. She doesn't say much and just watches Jiang Sheng's every move quietly.

Sometimes when Jiang Sheng wanted to drink tea or sharpen ink, Jiang Jinyu would do it first.

Girls are very considerate, and it was Jiang Jinyu who took care of Jiang Sheng in the beginning. Over the past few days, Jiang Sheng has become accustomed to having such a person to serve him.

Compared to his young apprentice Tian Ming'an, Jiang Jinyu is undoubtedly more careful. Many times, some of Jiang Jinyu's actions can be described as just right, making Jiang Sheng feel comfortable and not abrupt.

At this time, Jiang Sheng wanted to paint again, so Jiang Jinyu ground the ink and sent it to Jiang Sheng's convenience.

Not long after, a landscape painting appeared on the paper.

"How?" Jiang Sheng asked.

Jiang Jinyu said softly: "This landscape has a bit more artistic conception than the busy farming picture just now."

Jiang Sheng said with a smile: "Because I am originally from the mountains, I have seen a lot of these landscapes, and my paintings have some charm."

The two of them were chatting first, and the county magistrate who was busy farming in the distance also finished his work.

Seeing Jiang Sheng painting, the magistrate's eyes lit up and he hurried over.

Jiang Sheng couldn't help laughing when he saw the county magistrate's actions:
"The county magistrate doesn't give up anymore."
