The spring thunder sounded, and the swallow was also frightened.

All the people in Jinling City were startled by this sudden spring thunder, and for a while, Jinling, which was originally deserted because of this continuous spring rain, seemed to be alive again.

Those talented scholars who hid in their rooms and moaned because of the rain began to "flourish with poetry" again, or came to the street, or pushed open doors and windows, and chanted their feelings.

And those who were still interested in going out also began to talk about this sudden thunder in groups at this time.

"Thunder in the middle of spring, there is a demon in the matter!"

In the hall of the Jinling Prefect's Mansion, Luo Haotian, Shi Yuan, and Qiao Dacang couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this thunder, until the thunder passed for a while, and Luo Haotian said with emotion.

"Not necessarily! It is said that the sky is in the sky, and the spring thunder is hard. This spring thunder is not a good sign! Brother Shi looked at Luo Haotian with a slight meaningful smile, put down the teacup, and said lightly.

When Luo Haotian heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled slightly: "What Shi Gongzi said is also true, since this is the case, this Jinling Poetry Club will do it according to Shi Gongzi's wishes!" It's just that...... Although money is a good thing, if you have a crooked mind, this money will not be easy to earn! ”

You should say this to yourself, old thing! Brother Shi thought in his heart, but there was still a smile on his face, and he arched his hand and said, "In this way, I will congratulate Master Luo on your rich resources!" ”

"Hahaha......" Then the two of them laughed. The laughter spread from the room to the rain outside the room, and then accompanied by the sound of the rain for a long time, and then gradually weakened.

Qiao Feng, who was sitting on the side, although he felt that this laughter sounded full of conspiracy, he still laughed awkwardly twice.

Shi Yuan told Luo Haotian that the proposed method was to rely on this Jiangnan Poetry Meeting, and then let those talented people who wanted to participate in this poetry meeting pay the registration fee of ten taels of silver each.

In other words, only those who have paid the money can participate in this Jiangnan poetry meeting, not only that, Shi Yuan also said that he would set up a judge to select the best poems...... Then spread the news to these talents, saying that they could bribe the judges......

All kinds of money-collecting routines, Brother Shi can be said to come as soon as he opens his mouth, and he is completely familiar with the road.

Jiangnan Poetry Club, to put it bluntly, is just a talent show, since it is a draft, of course, it must follow the routine of the draft!

In short, a fair and just poetry meeting, after Shi Yuan said it, it became a great opportunity to make money......

So much so that Luo Haotian couldn't help but sigh in his heart, compared with Shi Yuan, his means of collecting money were completely unpopular. And Qiao Cannon was even more surprised on the side, he knew how ...... Shi Yuan's methods were Terrible.

Although these notes sound very unfair to those talents, this kind of thing has nothing to do with him, and what he hates most is those crooked readers......

Since the matter has been agreed, Shi Yuan and Qiao Dacang did not stay for too long, so they left this Yama Palace......

Speaking of which, there was no one who could enter and leave the prefect's mansion without leaving a dime like Shi Yuan, and I am afraid he will be the only one after that!

"Father, did you just let them go?" After Shi Yuan and the others left, Luo Haotian was still thinking about Shi Yuan's attention in the room, and Luo Wenfeng walked in with a dissatisfied face.

"If you don't let them go, are you still going to let them stay overnight?" Luo Haotian looked at his son, but he said angrily.

"But...... That Shi Yuan, he hit the child last time, I ...... with him" Luo Wenfeng was puzzled, he didn't know why his father's attitude suddenly changed like this.

"That's it! You'll put aside what happened last time for now. That Shi Yuan...... But you are much more clever than you, you should really learn more from him......" But Luo Haotian didn't wait for him to finish speaking, so he interrupted him.

Luo Wenfeng heard it and wanted to speak, but in the end he endured it, just clenched his fists tightly, and went out of the room.

Looking at his son, who walked out angrily, Luo Haotian shook his head with emotion......

"Shi Gongzi, you can be regarded as a lesson to my Qiao cannon today, listening to the attention you just told Luo Haotian about that old thing, I know that I can still make money like this." Out of the prefect's mansion, Qiao Cannon breathed a sigh of relief, and he couldn't stop saying to Shi Yuan.

"Oh? I wonder if Brother Qiao is interested in participating in this Jiangnan Poetry Meeting? With my identity as the organizer, it shouldn't be a big problem for you to be the first! When the time comes, those talented girls in Jinling will not give you a hug to Brother Qiao...... Hey hey ......"

"Gotcha! What annoys me the most is those delicate talents, talented women, or those old mothers in the eight alleys that suit my appetite! Hearing Shi Yuan's words, looking at Shi Yuan's obscene smile, Qiao Cannon touched the scum on his face and waved his hand without hesitation.

And Brother Shi heard Qiao Cannon talk about the Eight Great Hutongs, but he couldn't help but remember what he asked Dong Qingyun before, so he put away the ridicule and asked with a straight face: "Brother Qiao, are you from Beiqing?" ”

Qiao Cannon, who was laughing, couldn't help but look stunned, and asked in a panic: "Ah? Why did Shi Gongzi ask like this? ”

"Didn't Brother Qiao say that these eight alleys are in Bianzhou? Bianzhou ...... It seems to be the imperial city of Beiqing, right? ”

"I ...... Have I ever said anything like that? Shi Yuan's words couldn't help but make Qiao Cannon even more flustered, but he couldn't remember when he said it.

Looking at his appearance, Brother Shi didn't say anything more. Because he suddenly remembered that he had said before that he would not embarrass him again today. What's more, Dong Qingyun didn't dare to say anything about this matter, how could he dare to admit it? Anyway, after asking Xiaowei everything, she will know everything......

"Brother Qiao, don't be nervous, I'm just curious! Let us go out of the city. Thinking like this, Shi Yuan patted Qiao Cannon's shoulder and said with a smile.

"Am I nervous?"

"Didn't you?"

"Is there one?"

"It's just a joke, Brother Qiao, don't be serious! If you say you're not nervous, then you're not nervous! ”

……

It is also strange to say that the spring rain that was still huge before, but after the spring thunder that resounded through the world, this was actually smaller......

I don't know why, after Fang just came out of the prefect's mansion, Brother Shi kept feeling his eyelids jumping. He originally thought it was because of Liu Ruyan's incident, but it had been a long time, but it still didn't get better, and he always felt in his heart that something would happen today......

He heard only one spring thunder, but those talented people who played by Mingyang Lake outside the city heard two sounds!

I don't know why, although the second thunder was not as loud as the first, but after the second sound, those talented people who stood on the stone bridge by Mingyang Lake to enjoy the rain and play felt that the ground shook slightly......

At this time, they were discussing this matter.

"It's only the middle of spring, how can there be thunder? Isn't it...... What is going to happen? ”

"I heard the sound of that moment, it didn't seem to be thunder! It's like the ground is moving! ”

"Yes, yes, I just felt the ground tremble slightly, and the sound did sound a little strange......"

"Look, there's smoke up there!"

With this prompt, everyone couldn't help but look not far away. I saw that there was indeed thick smoke billowing there, even in this misty rain and fog, it looked extraordinarily obvious!

All of a sudden, the crowd exploded again!

The mouth of the Guo family's kiln, which is now the Lin family's paper mill, had an accident......

Zhou Xiong, as the new owner, may be called the factory director now, but he has been extremely excited recently. In addition to the reason for his ascension, of course, it is also related to the impact of the papermaking assembly line built by Shi Yuan.

As Nangong Rong's nominal personal apprentice, although he is not very old, he is the same as Nangong Rong, he is very obsessed with papermaking! He likes to tinker with these new things, so even when it rains, he is still in the factory.

He was originally in the "Product Research Center" with Nangong Rong and others, and he was still a little worried when he saw that Nangong Rong was going out. Because the road was a little slippery on a rainy day, he originally wanted to go out with Nangong Rong, but Nangong Rong, who was strong, stopped him.

He had no choice but to follow Nangong Rong's temperament, but he didn't expect that not long after Nangong Rong went out, there was a sudden spring thunder!

Hearing this spring thunder, he was staying in the house and was stunned, but before he could react, he heard a second sound...... It's just that this time, he felt the house shake slightly!

Immediately after, there was a thunderclap, and he realized that something was wrong!

He hurriedly ran out, and just in time to see the scene of the fire in front of him! and the chimney, which was originally tall, also collapsed at this time, and all of them smashed into the pulp pool not far away.

Although the flames did not last long and were quickly extinguished in the rain, the scene in front of him scared him! More than half of the papermaking line, which should have been in order, is in ruins at this time.

After a short period of shock, he also reacted quickly, this matter, must be notified to the owner quickly!

So, he quickly mobilized on the spot. Shi Yuan said that he is the director of the factory, and he has the greatest power and responsibility......

Because of the rain, there were only a dozen people at the scene at this time, and as he gradually ordered to move, his heart became more and more nervous. He found that Nangong Rong was not in the crowd......
