After Shen Yongjia wrote the letter to Wang Yongchen, he began to fulfill his promise.

However, before starting to fulfill his promise, he had a question that he wanted to ask the local residents.

Why do you like his paintings?

You should know that there are only about 500 people on Daqin Island, and they make a living by fishing and seafood breeding on weekdays. The scope of activities is limited to various islands and sea areas. It seems that they don’t care about “art”.

Why did he think of asking him to draw a picture for everyone here?

To this end, Shen Yongjia specifically asked Guo Liming, the island owner of Daqin Island. Daqin Island is actually a village, and Guo Liming is equivalent to the village chief. But more people are willing to call him "Guo Island Master".

Master Guo is in his fifties and looks only forty years old. He may be sunbathing more every day, dark all over, burly, strong, strong and powerful, treats people with kindness and loves to laugh.

I was very happy to learn that Shen Yongjia was.

Master Guo’s accent is close to Shandong people, and he was originally moved from Shandong.

"I didn't expect Mr. Shen to come so quickly?"

"It's time to fulfill the performance early and end it early."

"Is it okay for Mrs. Zun?"

"Fortunately, I'm just weak and needing maintenance."

"To be honest, it is already a great miracle to survive." Master Guo said enthusiastically, "Young Master Shen is so trustworthy, I am not afraid to tell you that the island has been robbed more than once, and I have never heard of anyone who can come alive in the island of Death."

"This rescue operation was timely, and it used a lot of manpower and material resources, and the emperor was planning to plan, otherwise they might not be able to be saved."

"Just save the person. Mr. Shen needs any equipment and materials to paint. Please give me instructions and we can raise it for you as soon as possible."

"Thank you, Master Guo, but before painting, I have a few questions I would like to ask for, don't you know if it's okay?"

"Young Master Shen, but it's okay to ask."

“How could the residents of the island know that my paintings are valuable?”

"Some people on the island go to the capital to do kelp business, so they know a little about Mr. Shen's deeds." Lord Guo replied like this.

"Oh, so that's it. Things are rare and valuable. If you paint too many things, it may not be valuable. Besides, the most valuable part of my paintings should be His Majesty's inscription. If not, the value will be greatly reduced."

"We know. Let me tell you the truth. Let me stay and paint for us that day was just an excuse for us."

"What? Excuses?" Shen Yongjia was slightly stunned.

"Yes, there are basically businessmen on the island. It's true that we want to make money, but how many people really understand your paintings? And I heard that Mr. Shen uses a unique and unprecedented painting technique."

"So that day was not my painting?"

"How do you say this?" Guo Daozhu hesitated for a moment and said, "The decision to keep Mr. Shen on that day was mainly due to the situation and there was no way."

"Oh? How do you say this?"

"Your father-in-law looks gentle but a cruel man. He even broke his finger with a bird gun. If we don't cooperate, we still don't know what will happen? You just knelt down and beg us, and you are the son of the prime minister of the current dynasty, so let's leave you."

"Save me as a hostage?"

"Well, I can say that, when we face your father-in-law, we must cooperate until the end. Instead of doing this, it is better to sell you a favor. You are the son of the prime minister and have faith. And we offer the island of death. If the pirates know it, there may be a disaster for the village to destroy it. With you, there will naturally be more guarantees."

"Oh, so that's it." Shin Yongjia finally understood. He thought that the residents of the two islands were really just to let him paint. He turned out to be frightened by his father-in-law and had already made plans to give up the island of death. He just wanted to find a way to get a guarantee. He just jumped out and the residents of the two islands were reluctant to go.

"Of course it's good to make some money with Mr. Shen's paintings." Master Guo continued, "but this is obviously not what we want. In addition to the reasons mentioned just now, he also wants to use Mr. Shen's reputation to help us gain the reputation of Daqin Island and Tuoji Island, and tell people all over the world that we produce various seafood such as scorpions, kelp, sea cucumbers, abalones. In short, we want to use Mr. Shen as our image spokesperson."

"Image spokesperson?" Shen Yongjia said in surprise.

"Yes, it's just helping us promote it. After all, Mr. Shen is a famous person and the young master of the prime minister's family. But we won't treat you badly. Mr. Shen should be able to feel that we are in poverty, right?"

"Of course, I feel that it's so rich here." Shen Yongjia said, I don't know how much richer than Liaodong.

"But we can still be richer, because not many people know there are seafood here, so we just deliver the goods to promote it. If Mr. Shen is our image spokesperson, then the reputation will come out all of a sudden. At that time, the business on the island will be better, and maybe we don't have to give it to others, but someone will come here to get it."

Lord Guo said with longing.

Shin Yongjia understood, "Don't I need to paint each of you?"

"There are indeed people on the island who hope Mr. Shen can paint for them." said Master Guo.

"After I become your image spokesperson, I will help the residents who need to paint. Even if I fulfill my promise, I don't have to follow the time limit?"

"What does Mr. Shen mean?"

"Can you leave early?" Shen Yongjia thought of Wang Yu, the earlier you go back, the better.

"I'm afraid it's still necessary for a year." Master Guo politely refused.

"Oh." Shen Yongjia had nothing to say. After all, I had agreed with someone for a year before. It seems that Master Guo is indeed an honest and reliable person.

Just one year. Every day, as long as you have something to do, it will be a quick one year, and it will pass in a flash.

"Will Mr. Shen blame us?"

"No, no, thanks to the island owner for being honest and telling me the truth. I really think it was my people or my paintings that attracted you!"

"It is Mr. Shen's people who attract us!" said Master Guo, "It is impossible for the image spokesperson to find an ordinary person casually. Mr. Shen has a reputation and status, and of course, it is your people who attract us."

"Oh..." Shen Yongjia nodded, but it was obviously not the same as what he originally thought.

"When we make money, we will definitely give some of the fees to be the spokesperson for Mr. Shen's image." Master Guo promised confidently.

Shen Yongjia originally wanted to refuse, but when he thought of Wang Yu, he felt that he needed to make money. He still didn’t know if he had any income in this year of service.

As soon as he thought of this, Shen Yongjia swallowed the words he slipped to his mouth again.

After all, looking back now, the residents of the two islands seem to be "using" him.
