Nian: Brother-in-law! / Would the God of Farming Fall in Love with a Wooden Foreign Leader?
When True Dragon is enraged, millions will fall dead.
This is one of the advantages of the feudal system, especially in a worldview with extraordinary power, where powerful families are nothing more than pigs and sheep to be slaughtered by the imperial court.
And so, the True Dragon began to exert its power.
At this time, the Yan Country was in a crucial stage of industrial development, and therefore needed talented people.
We can't let these powerful families block the path for talented people to rise in society. If something goes wrong, they won't have enough heads to lose.
"Issue my order: the garrisons in various regions shall begin to investigate the taxes of powerful families and compile all unexplained income into a book and hand it over to me."
This is a warning; True Dragon really doesn't want to completely break ties with them right now.
Although powerful and influential families were corrupt, they did play a role in maintaining stability among the common people.
The food has been served; whether they want to eat it or not depends on their behavior.
"Mr. Huang has also come to Lungmen. Wait, are there other people at Lungmen? Where is my prince?"
The True Dragon suddenly remembered that his crown prince had sneaked out to play two months ago and had not returned since.
He was extremely worried about his own son.
Fortunately, she is quite intelligent. Although she has many minor flaws, she can distinguish between important and trivial matters.
He was only a teenager, yet he already showed the makings of a monarch. With careful nurturing, he could very well become a wise and benevolent ruler.
"Your Majesty, as far as I know, His Crown Prince is currently in Lungmen. Should we summon him back?"
At this moment, a eunuch spoke respectfully, not daring to look up at the True Dragon.
True Dragon shook his head. "Go down. Let this kid play over there for a while. He'll know what hardship is when he grows up."
Being the emperor of Yan Country is not an easy task; the officials under him are all formidable figures.
Moreover, this throne is a huge bomb; whoever touches it is doomed.
Otherwise, why do you think that the Great Yan dynasty has lasted for thousands of years, yet no powerful minister has ever dared to threaten the imperial power?
The treacherous ministers desired imperial power not to replace the emperor as the crater of a volcano, but to enjoy the fruits of their labor.
This is just like Terra next door.
When asked, they all claimed loyalty; when asked again, they refused to go to anyone.
Soon, the empty hall was left with True Dragon, who was holding his forehead in deep thought.
"Forget it, let me finish everything this generation has to do. I still don't trust future generations."
With a sigh, True Dragon shook his head and walked into a dark room.
The room was not decorated in any special way, and there was only a map hanging on the wall.
The map shows the locations of the various Sui Beast, one of which is located right at the Lungmen.
Its name is: Year.
Chapter 302 Year: Brother-in-law!
The next morning.
"What kind of behavior is this, making such a racket?"
"A great power should naturally possess magnanimity."
Master Huang was awakened from his sleep by a barrage of vulgar language from Lungmen.
And judging from the tone of their voices, it seems like their restaurant staff are arguing with a customer about something?
So, Master Huang was getting a little annoyed by the noise, made a phone call to the front desk.
"Didn't I tell you? Service means treating customers like gods!"
"Reporting to the lord, this customer has been dining and dashing here many times on credit."
"Is he a food critic? Or is there some reason why he dares to eat our Utopia's meal for free? He must have some tricks up his sleeve."
"This woman claims to know you, Lord, but none of our staff know her."
"It's a woman, too. None of the women I know ever dine and dash. Just break her two little fingers and throw her out. That'll keep her in pain for a while."
After hanging up the phone, Master Huang thought to himself that there were still people in this city who dared to mess with Utopia.
However, after the phone call, the noise downstairs did not stop; instead, it intensified.
"Wait a minute! I really do know your boss, my sister is really close to him! You really have to believe me!"
Wait, why does that voice sound so familiar?
Huang Cao stroked his chin and thought for a moment. After washing up, he went to the hall where the trouble was taking place.
Then, in the center of the hall, a white-haired girl was holding a large ladle and pointing at the staff with its round end, just like a swordsman.
If this guy hadn't been so used to dining and dashing that the restaurant's customers were already used to it, they would have really thought the white-haired girl was a chivalrous swordswoman.
"Oh no, this is going to be difficult. My dear sister, when will you finally succeed so that I, as your younger sister, can also benefit from it?"
The white-haired girl muttered to herself, because she had long since lost all her salary playing mahjong, which was why she had no money to pay her bills.
This was actually due to an accident.
The first time she ate at the restaurant run by Utopia, she thought she had money on her, but after finishing her meal, she discovered that she had already gambled away all her money.
The various institutions that Master Huang established in Lungmen all followed a relatively people-friendly approach, and as long as they didn't go too far, they would turn a blind eye.
So the first time, she bought on credit.
But the food at Utopia was Tai He for her taste; the chef's cooking skills were comparable to her younger brother's.
Moreover, in a sense, this young lady did indeed know a prominent figure in Utopia.
"Miss, you've dined and dashed here far too many times. Your debt is worth a hundred gold coins."
At this moment, the Abundance Warrior, disguised as the Branch Manager, took out his weapon and, without saying a word, wanted to show off his swordsmanship in front of the lord.
The lord is watching; we can't afford to lose face!
Just as the two groups were about to fight, the white-haired girl seemed confident.
To her, everyone present was a mob.
Only the Branch Manager with red horns on his head made her feel a little troubled, but it wasn't a big problem.
It's simply a matter of turning one slap into twenty.
"Stop it, I actually know this white-haired lady."
Huang Cao stopped watching the show, because there was only one Hundred Battles Abundance Warrior present, and he was having a hard time dealing with the white-haired girl.
If it were truly a life-or-death battle, his own Abundance Warrior would probably only be able to hold out for a short while.
"Yes, my lord."
Upon hearing the order, the staff present put away the daggers they were carrying and immediately continued their unfinished work as if nothing had happened.
The white-haired girl turned her head and discovered that the owner of the voice was none other than the familiar person she had just been longing to hear. (3*4)
"Master Huang, what are you doing here? And you seem even younger than before," Nian exclaimed in surprise.
That's right, the white-haired girl who ate so many free meals at Master Huang's restaurant is none other than Nian, one of the Beast of the Year Fragment.
He already knew most of the Sui family members when Yan Country borrowed grain from Huang Cao.
However, since their last parting, Huang Cao and the Sui sisters have not seen each other for many years, and they have even exchanged fewer letters.
"Miss Nian, don't try to get close to me yet. Let me settle your bill first."
Huang Cao ignored Miss Nian, who had opened her arms wide, revealing her warm bosom.
Instead, he took out a card from his pocket and swiped it at his own restaurant.
"My brother-in-law is such a considerate person!"
Wait, what did you just call me?
After paying the bill for the meal that Nian owed, Huang Cao suddenly came to her senses and stared at the girl in front of her with a suspicious look.
What did I just hear? Is it really okay to just casually say the word "brother-in-law"?
And which of your sisters is it?
Nian seemed to realize that she had accidentally let something slip, so she quickly corrected herself.
If I don't change, I think my sister will plant me in the ground.
"The sister I'm talking about isn't that kind of sister, but my older sister, Jie!"
Sorry!
I'm more afraid of millet than of you!
"Goodness, you almost got me completely confused. By the way, what's your sister particular about?"
"Jie loves writing and is also a clean freak. She always pays when my sisters and I have meals together."
In short, after much explanation, Nian finally dispelled Master Huang's doubts.
After paying the bill, the two casually found a table to sit at.
"Have you had breakfast? Would you like me to treat you?"
"I'm so sorry, I'd like a steamed bun with stir-fried pork and chili."
Sure enough, Nian has the thickest skin in the family, and he doesn't feel any guilt at all when he goes to other people's houses to freeload.
"So, what brings you here? You don't even have money for food. Didn't your brother give you any pocket money?"
Nian shrugged and said, "Of course it's to pursue my dream of becoming a director. All of us brothers and sisters are Long-lived species. If we don't find something new and interesting to do, we'll probably be bored to death over such a long period of time."
"I haven't seen your older sisters and brothers being that boring either," Huang Cao retorted mercilessly.
In 1949, Yan Country was a famous unemployed vagrant and Terra's top producer of bad movies.
In contrast, her older brother and sister, and even her younger brother and sister, are not strictly speaking unemployed.
Xi Gua might barely qualify as half a thing.
While devouring breakfast, Nian chatted with Master Huang, seemingly unconcerned about choking on it.
"Master Huang, you look even younger than before, you seem to be about the same age as my youngest brother."
Although she didn't feel much younger than before, and it wasn't like she hadn't seen old monsters who had turned back the clock.
Moreover, the younger Master Huang seems to be more approachable than before.
Sister Shu has good taste!
"It's easier to move around like this, after all, who would bother with a teenager?"
Huang Cao took a sip of tea and spoke softly.
After enjoying breakfast for free, Nian felt it was time to do something for her older sister.
Otherwise, it will be difficult to get free meals in the future.
Chapter 303 The God of Farming Won't Fall in Love with a Wooden Foreign Leader?
"By the way, Master Huang, do you have any advanced recording equipment? Could I borrow it? I really want to become a director!"
Halfway through his sentence, Nian took out a thin, somewhat light script from his bag.
"Do you really want to be a director? I think you're more suited to being an actor than a director."
"If I were to become an actor, the higher-ups in Yan Country wouldn't allow my film to pass censorship."
Nian said that his family had been under strict surveillance since childhood. Although they were not forbidden from appearing in public, being too conspicuous could easily cause unnecessary trouble.
However, the director was able to avoid this problem mainly because the films he made were simply too bad.
If actors can't become famous, then directors can't either.
Most of the short dramas that Master Huang watched in his previous life were terrible. At least short dramas were watchable, but the script for this year was simply not funny at all.
This guy can make comedies that turn into tragedies.
When filming tragedies, audiences can also find comedies that are hard to break amidst a flood of tears.
In short, he's incredibly bad at the game, but he still loves to play.
