People live in the Ming Dynasty, evil spirits are soaring into the sky
Chapter 427: Guo Feixue was also famous in Jiangnan
Chapter 427: Guo Feixue was also famous in Jiangnan
To be honest, Guo Feixue has never spoken so much in front of so many people. Logically, she should be very nervous.
Many people who have had experience in giving speeches know that many times when we are giving a speech for the first time, especially when we are saying something against our will in front of a lot of people, we may be really nervous and our hands and legs may involuntarily become weak.
Guo Feixue had never spoken so much in front of so many people, so she should have been very nervous.
But I didn't expect that at this moment she was so calm, and even felt that these were just some words I should say.
At this moment she finally understood why she was like this, because she saw the expectations of many people towards her.
What she saw in the eyes of these people was trust and expectation.
Perhaps the people knew that Guo Feixue came from the White Lotus Sect and was a saint, and they had even heard of Guo Feixue's glorious deeds.
When a flood occurred in Wenzhou Prefecture, he stepped forward and directly pulled more than a dozen boatloads of food over without asking for any compensation. He even personally went to treat the wounds of many people and delivered food.
So that the people would not have to worry about drowning, starving to death, or freezing to death during that disaster.
Let the people see that it is not only the imperial court that may be able to save us, but also the forces in the underworld.
It even let the people see that under the leadership of the people in the martial arts world, the court officials would feel embarrassed not to save us.
It was under the influence of this sentiment that the people even saw that the government's attitude towards themselves and others had improved.
This is because the government really does not want to be at a disadvantage to the underworld forces.
Therefore, the people now believe that as long as the White Lotus Sect participates, the government will not dare to be vague or careless about building official roads and even making people's lives better.
After all, if they go back on their word and get rich, how can they face the people of the world?
Therefore, the common people understand very well that as long as the saint follows them, it must be a good thing.
This fine tradition is believed by many people.
The White Lotus Sect is now like a savior.
Of course, Guo Feixue could also feel the pressure, but for some reason she suddenly felt that this feeling of being needed was very good.
She used to live under the wings of many people, and had no idea how cruel the outside world was. The only time she felt the cruelty was when she was occupied by Chen Han. But now she finally felt that she could also spread her feathers and let others feel the warmth under her wings.
It feels good to protect others.
Princess Ning'an saw this scene in the carriage, and the Ningbo prefect and other officials came over.
"Your Highness, so many people have come to welcome the Saint. This is not something we planned. Although the people are here to welcome the Saint, all the pressure is on the Saint's shoulders. Isn't it a bit too much? She is still young after all."
The prefect of Ningbo is a considerate person.
After so many years in the local area, he knew very well that the people were conservative and not considerate, and most of the time they only thought about their own interests.
Of course they will be happy if you can satisfy their interests, and may even erect a monument or write a biography about you, but they will get angry if you fail to satisfy them in any way.
And their reasons are very simple.
As a capable person, you and the rest of us are the weak. You must consider things from our perspective and make sure we live a good life. Otherwise, why should you be treated preferentially by us?
Therefore, the prefect of Ningbo was very afraid that Guo Feixue would not be able to bear such pressure. If she was besieged by the people at that time, the Duke might get angry.
But after hearing this, Princess Ning An smiled and said, "Don't worry, the Duke is still training them and has never stopped. And I heard a long time ago that when they were in the capital, they stared at so many people's suspicions, but they still built the Zhaozhou Bridge, right?
Don't underestimate the experience you've gained by the Duke's side these days. If you don't even have this ability, it only shows that the Duke is blind.
But I believe that the Duke has a very good eye and will be able to clearly recognize their abilities and help these girls find their strengths."
The Ningbo prefect was relieved after hearing Princess Ning'an's words.
Although they all knew that the Duke was very young, he was very well-organized and able to appoint the right people to the right positions.
Just like Princess Ning'an now, she was able to build the Ming Bank in Ningbo, and now isn't she doing a very good job?
This is where Chen Han’s ability lies, knowing how to use people.
"If that's the case, I will gather officials and businessmen tomorrow to discuss this matter!" said the Ningbo prefect.
Princess Ning An waved her hand and said, "Don't worry. We have already done a lot of preparations. Now all we need is the cooperation of the local merchants. I believe that with the reputation of the Saint, we can solve this matter quickly."
The prefect of Ningbo actually admired Princess Ning'an very much. After all, Princess Ning'an was a real strong woman. During her time in Ningbo, she had set up a bank, which opened his eyes. He never thought that he could make money in this way.
You have to know that it is impossible for him, as the prefect, to ask the people to hand over their silver.
However, Princess Ning'an came to Ningbo to preside over the business, but she didn't expect that in such a short time she could get so many people to follow her and deposit their money into the bank.
Of course, in the beginning many people were prepared to watch the joke. After all, with so much money and so many people, there would always be some resentful people who would not be willing to take it, and there would definitely be people who would step out to cause trouble.
And it was true. Fake silver bills appeared just as the bank was getting it done. Although it was resolved quickly, many people still remained suspicious. Unexpectedly, this incident became a good thing for Ming Bank to improve its reputation.
Now that the powerful Princess Ning'an said that Guo Feixue could solve the problem, the Ningbo prefect felt relieved.
Even after feeling relieved, he was still a little curious.
That is who Chen Han is. He has achieved so much in his career, and his women are also leaders in their respective industries.
Is it really true that the better a man is, the more outstanding women he can attract?
Chen Han is so wise and brave, so all his women are also figures of character.
When the Ningbo prefect thought of this, he could only envy her.
If he could be so powerful, he would wake up laughing in his dreams.
However, he also understood very well that his ability only allowed him to be a prefect. In fact, if it weren't for You Guo Feixue who saved his life, he wouldn't know where he would be now.
Now that I have become the prefect of Ningbo, I should be content.
Not to mention that the Ningbo prefect was very envious of Chen Han, even other people were the same at this time. Everyone was very curious about who Chen Han was and what charm he had that could attract so many outstanding women.
The most enviable thing is that these women are not just pretty faces, but people who can actually get things done.
It is said that there is a woman from overseas in the capital, with blonde hair and blue eyes, and she is also the Duke's woman.
Even overseas relations can be easily handled, only the Duke can do that.
"The Duke is truly a god-like figure! Even his confidantes are all so outstanding. I don't know how you were attracted to the Duke in the first place. He must have been brilliant at the time, right?" the prefect of Ningbo sighed.
Princess Ning'an almost vomited blood when she heard the words of the Ningbo prefect.
Whenever she thought about the scene when she and Chen Han first met, she still felt like she was dreaming.
The Chen Han at that time was not as bright and dignified as he is now. He was simply a hooligan, and a hooligan who liked to bully women.
Although he was indeed powerful, he was a bit too demanding in that matter, but she really wanted to experience that kind of thing again.
At first, she thought she might not be able to bear it and hoped that Chen Han would come to see her less. However, as more and more women came around Chen Han, she realized that what she could not bear at the beginning was such a luxury.
When he thought of this, his face suddenly turned red and he hurried back into the carriage.
This is what happened to me, and it was the same with Guo Feixue at the beginning. To be honest, she was even worse than me. She was also forced to do something, and was finally conquered.
If the Ningbo prefect knew that he and his men were following Chen Han like this, he would probably spit out blood. Is this okay?
That's indeed the case.
But if you really think about Chen Han, you have to be afraid of being caught. After all, he was already in power at that time. Even if you went to sue him, you wouldn't have the courage to do so.
After all, who could have thought that the emperor's savior, the Duke of the current dynasty, would actually be a gangster.
But thinking back on it now, it really does seem like a dream. If I had known that Chen Han was so talented, I would never have waited for that damn guy to come to me. Instead, I would have cleaned him up myself and delivered him to him personally.
The more I thought about it, the more embarrassed I felt.
After Guo Feixue made the promise in front of the people, although she knew that it would definitely be a very heavy burden, she was not afraid this time.
She finally understood why Chen Han was so popular among the people. It turned out that the feeling of doing things for the people was so good.
Although she had personally participated in the flood relief work in Wenzhou Prefecture, she really didn't think too much about it at the time, and even felt reluctant to be forced to do so.
After all, she was still young at the time and only wanted to complete the tasks assigned to her by the church, so she did these things with a little emotion. However, she did not expect that because of these things, she would now become a person respected by everyone.
This is a bit embarrassing to say.
So now Guo Feixue has decided that since she has such an opportunity to make up for the fact that she did not work seriously in the past but won the welcome of so many people, she decided to make good use of her influence to help Princess Ning'an to the greatest extent and complete the construction of this official road.
The welcoming ceremony was over, and soon the matter was spread by word of mouth among countless people, and everyone in Ningbo City knew that Saint Guo Feixue had returned.
Although Guo Feixue was mainly active in Hangzhou Prefecture at that time, for the people of Zhejiang today, the incident in Wenzhou Prefecture was like the overflowing love of a fairy from heaven. Therefore, after hearing about Guo Feixue's arrival, everyone was willing to believe that Princess Ning'an wanted to build a so-called new official road and did not ask the people to contribute money or effort.
After all, the saint was involved, so it must be true.
Streets and alleys.
"Has the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus Sect really come?" One of the common people didn't believe it.
When they heard that the White Lotus Sect had been targeted by the Duke and that the Holy Maiden had been captured, they were actually quite regretful.
At the beginning, Chen Han certainly didn't know that the White Lotus Sect had some status in the hearts of the people. He only knew that this sect was prone to causing trouble, so he wanted to deal with it. Moreover, there were indeed no good people in their headquarters, so it was right to arrest them.
But when the people heard about this, they were actually quite resentful.
After all, the Saint Maiden of the Jiangnan branch of the White Lotus Sect was a pretty good person at the time, and was considered a celebrity among the underworld people in the southeast.
And if they knew that Guo Feixue was forcibly turned into a young woman by Chen Han before she was captured, many people would probably be heartbroken.
Because Guo Feixue was very famous in the south of the Yangtze River at that time, not only because of her high status in the world, but also because of her beauty that fascinated many talented and romantic men.
It’s a pity that the saint was finally taken to the capital by Chen Han, which made many talented and romantic men sigh with regret.
Now that she is back, many talented and romantic men are eager to make a move.
Although they heard that Guo Feixue had returned with an additional identity, that is, the Duke's woman, and although they didn't know yet whether she was married to him in a formal ceremony, having this label was like adding gilt to her reputation.
Even though they knew that Duke Chen Han was a ruthless killer, his admiration for Saint Guo Feixue still attracted many people to pay attention.
Even ordinary people were shocked when they heard the news.
"Back then in Wenzhou Prefecture, the saint did a lot of good things. It seems that your distant relative is from Wenzhou Prefecture. You were planning to send some food over there back then." said the old man's wife.
The old man recalled and nodded: "Many people were talking about this incident back then. Who would have thought that a little girl could have such great power, right?"
The teahouse on the other side.
When they heard that Guo Feixue had come to the city, many talented and handsome men gathered together to discuss it.
"Hey! Our Duke is so lucky. So many people admired our Saint back then, but the Saint didn't even raise her eyelids. Unexpectedly, when the Duke came, she followed him in the blink of an eye.
To be honest, I looked at the Saint from a distance at that time, and I was really shocked by her beauty. At that time, I thought that even if it meant losing everything, I would marry her home. But I didn't expect that it would be a dream!"
"Then why don't you go and see her now that you heard the saint is back?" another person asked with a smile.
