Chapter 424 Method
All the dignitaries in Huizhou County died quietly in this early morning, and the solemn and solemn county government hall turned into a purgatory on earth.
Turning into the back hall, there is a slender viewing corridor, with the scenery of the autumn leaf courtyard on both sides.
Here, Xu Yuan once again saw the beautiful woman by the artificial lake before.
This time, the other party put on a bellyband and was served by a maid, enjoying a rather luxurious breakfast with a man who looked somewhat similar to Magistrate Liu.
Handsome men and beautiful women, smiling and smiling, look beautiful with the golden leaves blown by the autumn wind.
The back of the hall is the county magistrate's living place. It seems that Xu Yuan's guess was correct at that time. The other party was indeed the county magistrate's concubine or daughter.
I don’t know what the other person’s expression would be like if he saw the scene in the courtroom?
Just a wall separates the **** **** in the main hall from the beautiful scenery in the back hall.
“Changtian, do you want to silence me?”
Lou Ji also saw a pair of beauties over there, and asked with interest: "These two people seem to be the children of County Magistrate Liu."
Xu Yuan looked back and asked, "Is it necessary?"
The two of them were enveloped by Lou Ji's normal realm, and others could not sense it at all.
Lou Ji narrowed her eyes and said with a smile: "Perhaps someone will get the opportunity of the technique in the future and come to Changtian to take revenge on you?"
“You want to take revenge on me?”
Xu Yuan glanced at Lou Ji strangely, shook his head and walked along the corridor: "Then they may have to wait in line for several years."
A smile flashed in Lou Ji’s beautiful eyes, and she sighed with some regret:
“Those who are in their twenties and have just reached the eighth level of cultivation can be spared. However, these carefree days will most likely have nothing to do with them. Maybe these two people will have to live on the streets tomorrow.
“Being an official is really one step from heaven to one step from hell~”
Xu Yuan paused for a moment. He heard the teasing in Lou Ji's words and chuckled:
“Sister, do you think I went too far?”
While walking, Lou Ji smiled, stepped forward and hooked Xu Yuan's arm:
“Sister, I didn’t say that it’s not an exaggeration to die a hundred times for what these people did, but it’s really a bit urgent to kill them all at once.”
Xu Yuan instantly understood the meaning of the other party’s words and said:
“You mean there will be chaos in Huizhou County?”
Lou Ji nodded and glanced at the **** government office behind her:
"Those who died this morning basically control all aspects of Huizhou County. Now that they are dead, those under them will definitely not be peaceful. When the order breaks down and interests are conflicting, I am afraid that Huizhou County will not be able to achieve even the most basic stability. arrive."
It is easy to kill someone, but what is difficult is the consequences of killing someone.
Chaos is inevitable when all the white and underworld people are brought under the same blame. Without a leader, there will be chaos.
However, Lou Ji did not remain silent for too long. She chuckled and changed the subject:
“Sister will help you deal with these things this time, but next time you remember to pay attention to the consequences.”
“Before coming here, I asked Bai Muxi to do it.”
Xu Yuan calmly interrupted Lou Ji: "The ordinary government affairs in Huizhou County are handled by the masters in the yamen. As for the six gentry families in Huizhou County, Mu Xi knows what to do."
Lou Ji raised her eyebrows, slightly interested: "Oh? How to do it?"
Xu Yuan smiled softly:
“Kill people, treat them, and treat them like dogs.”
The corners of Lou Ji’s ruddy and attractive lips were raised, and a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes:
“Using absolute violence to make people surrender may indeed be useful, but the problem is that we are just passers-by here. Can you stay here all the time, or can you come here to inspect from time to time?
“If not, these gentry will most likely revert to their original state after a few years of restraint, and may even evolve to use you as their backer to get even worse.”
“Of course I know this.”
Xu Yuan smiled and shook his head: "There is one thing I have always forgotten to tell you, sister."
Lou Ji Liu frowned slightly, with a trace of doubt in her eyes: "What's the matter?"
“There are still hundreds of thousands of people alive in the Jedi where Bai Muxi is.”
“.” Lou Ji’s eyes became more confused.
"I told Bai Muxi that if she handles this matter well, then all the property in this place will belong to her."
Lou Ji’s pretty eyebrows frowned tightly:
“You did this just to embezzle the property of these ordinary gentry?”
She was very dissatisfied with Xu Yuan's explanation.
The only praiseworthy thing about Huizhou County is that it is close to the official road. Other than that, there are no special minerals or spiritual fields for growing medicinal materials. The county is not too prosperous.
As for the industries inside and outside the city, let alone those industries.
The strongest among the six gentry in the city is just a condensed soul. The cultivation resources controlled by this kind of force are basically equivalent to none, and most of them are mundane things.
Thinking in her mind, Lou Ji's eyes suddenly glanced in the direction of the blood-stained government office.
She sensed where Bai Muxi's Qi machine had gone.
She took away many people's heads, and also took away the evidence that Xu Yuan threw on the ground. She must have planned to use these things to treat people as dogs.
Sighing again in her heart, Lou Ji felt a little calmer.
Looking at the best, if you can trap a talented grandmaster in this way, it will not be considered a loss.
“Hey, hey.”
Xu Yuan smiled and waved his hand in front of Lou Ji: "Sister, what are you thinking about?"
Lou Ji came back to her senses and glared at the other party, thinking that this boy still had a long way to go, and said angrily: "It's nothing. It's probably not difficult to move hundreds of thousands of people to Huizhou County."
“You will help, right?” Xu Yuan winked at Lou Ji.
Lou Ji raised her slender hands and rubbed her brows helplessly: "Do you know what the concept of migrating hundreds of thousands of people is?"
“Not helping?”
“Find your own solution.”
"Why?"
"No reason."
“Didn’t you say before that you would listen to me in everything?”
“Sister, I have changed my mind now, do you have any opinion?”
Lou Ji snorted lightly and turned away.
The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.
She thought that Chang Tian acted like this because she already knew that he could solve this kind of corrupt grassroots government. Unexpectedly, her eyes finally fell on these three melons and two dates.
Xu Yuan still smiled when he saw this:
“Sister, are you angry?”
“Not angry, a little disappointed.”
“Why are you disappointed?”
“#!”
Lou Ji pursed her lips slightly, and with her Qi-raising skills, she almost wanted to hit someone at this moment.
ˆ “.”
Looking at Lou Ji's somewhat unkind gaze, Xu Yuan's expression immediately became serious.
This old lady really knows how to beat him.
“Do you think I’m too superficial?”
"What do you think?" "What if I say that most of Bai Muxi's hundreds of thousands of people are qualified to practice cultivation, have been brainwashed by religion, and are loyal?"
ˆ “.”
Lou Ji subconsciously stopped and looked back at Xu Yuan's smiling expression.
After looking at each other for a few breaths, Lou Ji sounded serious:
“Changtian, are you telling the truth?”
As the absolute highest-ranking official in the Prime Minister's Office and the chief of the Black Scale Guards, Lou Ji knew what was behind these words.
Tian'an Martial Arts School is the "recruitment agency" of the Prime Minister's Office all over the world, but it is extremely difficult to recruit a Black Lin Army.
The majority of people in this world cannot practice, and there are only a few people who can pass through the layers of screening at Tianan Martial Arts School. And those who finally graduate from Tianan Martial Arts School may not necessarily choose to join the Black Scale Army.
To say it is the cream of the crop is a bit much.
The accumulated layout over decades is less than a million.
Now suddenly hundreds of thousands of people with spiritual qualifications and loyalty have arrived.
and,
These people are now unknown.
The autumn wind blew through the soft black hair, Lou Ji's breathing gradually accelerated, the soft waves on her chest began to rise and fall, and her green eyes looked longingly at the brat in front of her.
It was the first time he saw this old lady in such a posture. Xu Yuan's eyes swayed and he coughed lightly:
"I looked at the map before coming to Huizhou County. Although Huizhou County is not a strategic location, the transportation is extremely convenient. It is located at the junction of Guanghuai and Beijing North Prefectures. A hundred miles to the west is the Beijing North Official Road. To the north, It can control the Qinlong Pass, an important transportation road, and directly enter the capital area when going south.
"More importantly, with the war in the north, the floating population here is huge, and there are no cultivation resources and no scarce mineral veins. The influx of a large number of refugees from the north will not attract the attention of other forces, and they can be used Hiding soldiers.”
As he spoke, Xu Yuan continued to walk along the corridor towards the secret room where the formation center was:
"Besides, Bai Muxi followed me because I could save her people. As time goes by, she will have some complaints in her heart. This time can be regarded as an explanation for her."
Lou Ji followed slowly, her dress fluttering, leaving a charming fragrance:
“So, Changtian, you didn’t kill those officials on a whim?”
“No, it really was a spur of the moment.”
Xu Yuan shook his head and said in a calm voice: "Looking at the pile of their crimes, I feel uncomfortable if I don't kill them."
The crimes written on the paper are very simple, but what is behind those cold numbers?
Countless innocent people died due to the greed of these powerful people.
Lou Ji sighed quietly after hearing this, her eyes slightly complicated:
"I see."
"But Changtian, you should do less of this kind of thing in the future. Although your status allows you to kill these low-level dignitaries at will, the cornerstone of Dayan's rule now is these moths."
Xu Yuan chuckled lightly and said faintly:
“I know it’s far from time to use the knife on them.”
“A knife?” Lou Ji frowned slightly.
Hearing this slightly surprised voice, Xu Yuan returned his eyes with an equally surprised look:
“Father, he has never thought of using the knife on these people?”
Lou Ji’s charming eyes were a little funny and a little helpless, and she asked with a smile:
"How to move? There will always be nobles in this world. Even if a group of them are killed, new ones will appear to replace the old ones.
“One county can be suppressed by the authority of the imperial court. If it expands to a county, a prefecture, or even a continent, it will be the beginning of turmoil.”
Xu Yuan suddenly realized that the thinking of his macho father still had the limitations of the times, and was silent for a few breaths:
“At the very least, we must prevent the powerful from treating human life as trivial as they do now.”
Lou Ji smiled and looked at the man with calm eyes in front of her, as if she saw the shadow of the outstanding young man in the past:
"Your father also said that back then, but after so many years, he has given up. In a sense, he himself has become a powerful man who regards human life as nothing."
There is always an insurmountable gap between ideal and reality.
High ideals die from vulgar desires.
Hearing this, Xu Yuan chuckled and shook his head:
"There will always be a way. Even if my father can't do it and I can't do it, then future generations will always be able to find a way."
Lou Ji’s lips curled up and she said with a smile:
“Believe in the wisdom of future generations?”
While the two were talking, they had already walked through the long and narrow corridor and came to an area with stone tile courtyard walls, which is where the formation center of Huizhou County is located.
Under the influence of Lou Ji's normal realm, the warriors guarding here did not notice the arrival of the two men.
Xu Yuan was quiet for a while, and while stepping into the stone courtyard, he said softly:
“Not entirely, at least we can make a start.”
Lou Ji’s eyes flashed, she hooked his arm and asked with a smile:
“How to open it?”
Xu Yuan shook his head and sighed leisurely:
“It’s too far away. I’m just thinking about this before the sect’s problems have been solved. It feels like we’re celebrating at halftime.”
Lou Ji hugged her a little tighter and said in a soft voice:
“Let me tell my sister, Changtian, you seem to have some ideas?”
“There are too many, I can’t tell you clearly at the moment.”
“Then tell your sister one of them~”
Xu Yuan glanced at the old sister who was almost hanging on him, sighed, and slowly uttered three words:
“Enlighten the people’s wisdom.”
Lou Ji’s eyes looked a little strange when she heard this:
“Enable people’s wisdom?”
“It is often said that it is difficult for a poor family to produce a noble son, but it is said that a poor family is the most down-and-out gentry. In the final analysis, the gentry monopolizes knowledge and it is difficult for ordinary people to access books. The imperial examinations naturally have nothing to do with the common people at the grassroots level.”
Xu Yuan raised his finger and pointed at the county government office, and continued: "Since the people can't afford to study, why not let the government spread the word to the world, recruit talents from all over the world, and open up channels for the common people to rise to the top, supplemented by some institutional supervision? , we can eliminate the special characteristics of these gentry to a certain extent."
Hearing Xu Yuan’s rough description, Lou Ji understood quickly, her voice a little serious:
"This method is good. It is not difficult to support this move with the national strength of Great Yan."
Speaking of this, Lou Ji’s voice faltered.
She suddenly discovered the disadvantages of this method.
She narrowed her beautiful eyes and said in a slightly cold voice:
“Changtian, although this move can indeed weaken the gentry, if you act wisely and over time, it will not be as simple as threatening the rule of the dynasty!”
Xu Yuan shrugged and asked with a smile:
"Who would have enough time to live if they can live with enough to eat? Moreover, what is the difference between this and my father, he and the emperor who opened a martial arts hall to teach Dharma and the common people?"
“What a big difference!”
Lou Ji's voice was serious: "Changtian, you should be clear about the fundamental difference between enlightening people's wisdom and teaching Dharma, and the scale you are talking about is also far different."
Seeing that Xu Yuan couldn’t be fooled, he shrugged:
"Nothing is perfect in the world. Everything has pros and cons. And I also said that we are just the beginning. We must believe in the wisdom of future generations~"
Having said that,
Xu Yuan directly brushed off the topic, pointed to the secret room in front of him with the center of the formation engraved on it, and said with a smile:
“Sister, let’s go in and do business.”
Seeing this familiar shameless person, Lou Ji snorted coldly:
"You said that I will explain this to your father. After dealing with this assassination, you can wait for him to talk to you when you return to Beijing."
Xu Yuan was not afraid of being scalded by boiling water. He waved his hand and asked with a smile:
“I know, I know, sister, how long will it take for my uncle and Xu Changge to arrive?”
