The Emperor is Above

Chapter 90 Maosheng Shuqiu Bing's Visit

"Oh oh oh-"

Early in the morning, the rooster crowed loudly and anxiously.

Qing Yi couldn't sleep because of the noise, so he had to get up reluctantly. He thought he could sleep in after returning from a long journey.

After washing up and opening the door, he saw Shi Dazhu, Gongsun Wu, Dongmen Hu and Dongmen Bao who had already gotten up and were standing in the yard chatting and laughing.

Following their gaze, I saw two fat round balls, a civet cat and a little fox, lying on the top of another locust tree, right next to the rooster's nest.

These two little rascals usually love to sleep in, especially the civet cat, who won't leave the warm kang until noon, but today he actually climbed up the tree early.

The two of them were lying on the treetops without any aggressive behavior. They were simply lying on the treetops near the bird's nest, with their four eyes wide open, staring at the little phoenix in the nest.

Yesterday, there was only a civet cat, but it scared the little phoenix. Now there is an eighth-grade little fox, and it hides in the bird's nest and dares not show its head.

"Meow-"

"Ah wu——"

The civet cat and the little white fox made noises from time to time, making the little phoenix tremble with fear. The big rooster stood on the edge of the nest, spread his wings to protect the little phoenix, and kept crowing loudly to warn it.

Qing Yi shook his head helplessly and said, "These two little rascals are so noisy so early in the morning!"

Shi Dazhu smiled at him and said, "I didn't expect these two little creatures to be so petty. The civet cat suffered a loss yesterday, so today it's trying to scare the little phoenix."

"I didn't really care about it at first, but the little phoenix is ​​so useful, how can I let them be scared? Otherwise, there will be no more eggs for the ferocious birds in the future."

Qing Yi originally wanted to give the two little rascals a good scolding, but the civet cat and the little fox were also great contributors to his promotion to the title, and they were also the treasures of Bo Wu and Niu, so he had to consider their dignity.

"Good morning, brothers!" Under the guidance of Aunt Bo, Niu Niu rubbed her sleepy eyes and greeted loudly and politely.

Seeing the little girl, Qing Yi's eyes suddenly lit up and he had an idea. He chuckled and said, "Niuniu, I have a lot of things to do today, so I'll let the little fox and the civet cat play with you."

"Okay, okay, I like Xiaobai and Hua Ni the best!"

Niuniu's sleepiness disappeared immediately. She casually took out a handful of preserved fruits made from dried spiritual fruit pulp from her pocket and waved at the tree, "Xiaobai, Hua Ni, I have something delicious here."

The child's innocent mind immediately grasped the fatal weakness of the little white fox and the civet cat, which is that they love all kinds of delicious food.

In just a blink of an eye, the two round fur balls quickly jumped to the haystack under the tree, each hugged one of Niu Niu's legs, and acted cute.

"Meow-"

"Ah wu——"

Even though the civet cat and the little fox had eaten so many spiritual fruits at Old Man Shi's house, they were still drooling with greed, which made Shi Dazhu, Gongsun Wu and others laugh, and Niu Niu even smiled happily.

After a simple and lively breakfast, villagers came to visit one after another.

These simple villagers were not in a hurry to come and collect the goods, but took the initiative to take on some odd jobs such as cleaning the animal sheds and tidying up the courtyard.

Not long after, the old man Bai and the old man Hei also came together. Seeing this scene, they nodded with satisfaction.

Hei Weng was particularly happy, saying, "Qing Yi, thanks to the farm tools you invented this year, everyone was busy with spring ploughing at this time of year in previous years, so they had no time to care about other things. I have led people to plow the thousands of acres of land in Huaiqiu these days, and your 500 acres of land have also been plowed. We will just wait for a dozen days when it gets warmer before we can start sowing."

Qing Yi didn't expect Hei Weng to be so active in preparing for spring ploughing. He smiled bitterly and said, "Hei Weng, the land where I was granted the title of a corporal may not be in the Huaiqiu. If you cultivate it so early, I'm afraid it will be wasted."

"Ah! What shall we do?" Hei Weng's face was immediately filled with disappointment. "If you cultivate the newly granted land this year, I'm afraid the spring ploughing will be delayed."

The old man smiled and patted Hei Weng on the shoulder: “Don’t worry, Old Hei, it’s a great thing for Qing Yi to become a corporal and be granted a title, not to mention that the harvest will only be in half a month.

If we can determine the location of Qing Yi's burial mound earlier, we can open it up now. After all, we have farm tools such as plows."

"That's true!" Hei Weng still said with regret, "But there's still time to choose new land for cultivation. The land in Huaiqiu has also been given to others at a lower price."

Hearing Hei Weng's sigh, Qing Yi was too late to comfort him.

Nearing noon, almost all the villagers in Huaiqiu rushed to their own courtyards, almost filling the originally spacious yards to bursting.

Niu Niu was holding the little fox and the civet cat and watching the fun on the side. Shi Dazhu also sat nearby and observed Qing Yi's behavior with interest.

Under the command of Aunt Bo, Da Niu, Dongmen Hu and Dongmen Bao put the commercial goods into a set, which was then handed over to the representatives of each family by Qing Yi himself, in exchange for endless gratitude.

Gongsun Wu was in charge of recording the list, while Jiang Ji was counting the other needs of the villagers, preparing to organize the Huaiqiuli militia to go to the capital for purchases at irregular intervals in the future, which would save 30% of the expenses.

Chai Yong was still thinking and suggested, "Head, I think we can go to the capital regularly to purchase goods, and we can make a lot of money by selling them at the Maoqiuting market."

Qing Yi was so busy that he had no time to calculate the benefits. He could only respond: "Uncle Chai, if you think it's appropriate, then take the lead in organizing it."

"Village head, village head, Pavilion Chief Maosheng and Diannong Shuqiubing are here to visit you!" The militiaman on duty on the corner tower in Huaiqiuli came running over to report the news, panting.

After handing the task of distributing the goods to Gongsun Wu, Qing Yi tidied his clothes and prepared to go out to meet him.

Before he even reached the gate, he heard Maosheng's hearty laughter: "Hahaha, I didn't expect that in just a few months, Lower Shu Yi became Upper Shu Yi, and now even Lower Corporal Yi. Congratulations!"

Then Maosheng and Shuqiubing were seen walking in from the door. Each of them brought five private soldiers with him. However, these private soldiers were very sensible and stayed outside the gate and did not enter without permission.

Diannong Shuqiu Bing even smiled and said: "Early this morning, Tuan Shigu went to the pavilion and asked for an increase in the land survey for the upper common people. He almost scared me.

The chief of Maosheng Pavilion and I came to congratulate him immediately. I wonder where the fief of Sergeant B is now? It would be even better if it is in Maoqiu Pavilion. "

"Yeah yeah!"

Mao Sheng, who was always reserved, no longer looked down at Qing Yi, and said expectantly,

“I heard from Master Tun, the senior commoner Gu, that when he and Corporal B were on their way to the capital, you killed several totem warriors from the Blood Wolf Tribe, including a beastmaster from the Blood Wolf Tribe.

I heard that the beastmaster had dozens of wild wolves as trainers, but they all died at the hands of Corporal B. This is really incredible."

Hearing that the two of them even believed Tun Shigu's unreliable words was a huge difference from their performance during the tribute before the New Year.

Qing Yi had no choice but to speak frankly: "Master Tuan Gu's words are often exaggerated. I wonder if the head of the pavilion and the dianon have other purposes besides celebrating?"
