Chapter 230: The Patriarch's Conference

As a large county in Fengzhou, Lulin County has a total of 58 counties, because of the shortage of food, the population of each county is about 20,000, and the modern county has a permanent population of 200,000 or 300,000.

Among these fifty-eight counties, almost every county has a family driven by the sect, which is why Jiang Beiran said that the sect's power has spread almost all over Fengzhou, where are there any people outside the jurisdiction of the sect.

At noon, the huge hotel hall was almost filled with guests from major families, and the four meeting rooms in the east, west, north and south were already full of people, because Lu Yinlong invited them to come this time, not coldly saying that they would come to the meeting, but a party, so many people were dragging their families, and it was not lively for a while.

"Your Majesty, all the patriarchs on the invitation list have already arrived."

After Li Minggao, the patriarch of the Li family, arrived, the middle-aged housekeeper came to the wing room and said to Jiang Beiran.

"Got it."

Jiang Beiran nodded, and walked out with Mu Yao and Deng Xianghan.

Before the meeting, he planned to get to know these patriarchs who "dominated the party".

The first to come to the West Courtyard Chenyou Hall.

"The emperor has arrived~"

The middle-aged butler stood at the door and shouted at the top of his voice.

Suddenly, the commotion in the Chenyou Hall suddenly quieted down, and only a few children were still playing by themselves.

"Greetings to Your Majesty."

At the moment when Jiang Beiran stepped into the threshold, all the patriarchs and the family members they brought with them saluted together.

It is impossible to kneel, many of these family patriarchs are strong people in the Xuanshi Realm or even the Great Xuanshi Realm, and saluting to Jiangbeiran is already enough to give face to the Guixin Sect, of course, if the sect master personally orders them to kneel, they will also kneel, but they will definitely take this as a humiliation in their hearts.

Nodding, Jiang Beiran spoke: "Welcome to Cangtao City, the road is tiring and hard. ”

Hearing Jiang Beiran's words, the patriarchs also breathed a sigh of relief, after all, they had heard a lot of rumors about the new emperor, and being tough was one of his characteristics, and they were originally a little worried that the new emperor would give them a word of disappointment as soon as he came, how should they deal with it.

Hard top, who's going to be the first bird? No, what if the new emperor really treats them as soft persimmons.

Now that I see that the new emperor's attitude towards them is quite kind, the entanglement in my heart has finally been let go.

In the midst of compliments, Jiang Beiran slowly walked towards the master's seat.

On the way, I suddenly saw three identical faces sitting there with tense expressions, looking like they didn't care about him at all, just sitting on the right couldn't help but glance at him with their peripheral eyes, and pretended to look at the scenery.

Seeing Jiang Beiran's gaze sweeping, the one sitting in the middle hurriedly turned the head on the right, and the three of them looked in other directions together.

'Alas~'

sighed in his heart, for the three sisters of the Yu family to appear here, Jiang Beiran was also expected.

After all, when he went to Tinglan Water Pavilion before, he knew from Yu Protector that the five golden flowers had taken leave together, and the reason was that his father was here, so he wanted to pay a visit.

Jiang Beiran was originally worried that these five would "do more" and help him talk or something, but now seeing that they are trying to avoid suspicion, he feels that they are still teachable.

Sitting on the master's seat, Jiang Beiran spoke: "Patriarchs, please take a seat." ”

Arching his hand towards Jiangbeiran, the patriarchs sat down one after another.

Judging from the number of seats, the Yu family is on the throne, just like what is written in the list of the sect master, and the towns in that part of the Jiangbei Lingshan are all looking at their Yu family.

As a representative of the family, a middle-aged man from the Yu family stood up and bowed his hand to Jiang Beiran and said: "Contemptible Yu Kang'an, meet Your Majesty, the contemptible people admire Your Majesty's policies after you ascended the throne, and you have always wanted to find an opportunity to see the face of the sky, and now you can see that Your Majesty is really wise and martial, and his bearing is extraordinary." ”

Listening to Yu Kangan's sycophant, Jiang Beiran naturally knew that his sycophant was for the sect master, because in the eyes of this patriarch, he was the spokesperson of the sect master, after all, it was the sect master himself who called them over.

However, no matter who this sycophant is for, it at least means that he Yu Kangan has no intention of taking the initiative to stir up trouble, and he is absolutely safe.

"It turned out to be Patriarch Yu, I have heard of you many times in Chu Baifan, saying that you have done things properly, and you have contributed a lot to the development of the sect over the years."

"Zhubai Fan is really a false praise, if it weren't for the support of the sect, my small family would have been on the streets a long time ago."

"Patriarch Yu is really modest, there will be many places where I need your help in the future, and I hope that Patriarch Yu can spare no effort at that time."

"This is natural, as a citizen of Shengguo, it is our honor to serve the emperor."

'Wow...... It's really the first time I've seen such a senior brother. ’

Although the three sisters of the Yu family knew that their senior brother was by no means just a registered disciple as they appeared to be, they still treated him as a peer, and now they saw that their father, who was extremely tall on weekdays, greeted him, which made them feel that the image of their senior brother was much taller for a while.

However, as the senior brother and father talked more and more, the attention of the three sisters slowly shifted to other places.

For example, Yu Guishui's eyes now quietly came to Mu Yao.

"There are so many beauties in the palace...... Even the maids are so beautiful, so how beautiful are the concubines in the harem? ’

Mu Yao quickly noticed Yu Guishui's gaze, and looked back a little strangely, and when her eyes staggered, Yu Guishui suddenly felt that Mu Yao was a little familiar.

'Hmm...... Where have you seen it? ’

Confused, Yu Guishui looked at Yu Guishui and Yu Guimiao next to him and blinked, and asked with his eyes: "Do you think the maid behind the senior brother is a little familiar?" ”

The two younger sisters instantly understood what their sister meant, and looked at Mu Yao at the same time.

Mu Yao, who was staring at the same time by three eyes, also looked back, and at the same time said strangely in her heart: "What's the matter with these three people, don't listen to the emperor's speech, what are you doing with me?" ’

After looking at Mu Yao, Yu Guiqi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he told the other two with his eyes: "I know, isn't she Yingjie the same Mu Yao who was defeated by Senior Brother Wu." ”

"Oh~" Yu Guishui and Yu Guimiao reacted at the same time. I also remembered that there is indeed such a number one person.

'Why is she by her brother's side?' ’

Yu Guishui suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his chest, and he always felt that something was wrong.

When the three sisters of the Yu family were discussing with their eyes why Mu Yao was here to be a maid for their senior brother, Jiang Beiran had already greeted the patriarchs of the other families under Yu Kangan's introduction.

Now that everyone should know is known, Jiang Beiran got up and left, leaving Chenyou Hall with Mu Yao and Deng Xianghan.

Then Jiang Beiran went to the other three living rooms, and saw Liu Zijin and Fang Qiuyao as expected, only when he saw the Lin family patriarch, Lin Yuyan was not present.

Another thing that surprised Jiang Beiran was that in addition to Lin Yuyan's identity, the three sisters of the Yu family, Liu Zijin of the Liu family and Fang Qiuyao of the Fang family, were all the daughters of the patriarch.

Jiang Beiran's surprise was not a coincidence, after all, there was Tiandao who "took care" of him so much, what is this kind of small coincidence?

He was surprised that these five golden flowers were really just the daughters of the three little patriarchs, so how could they cause a prefecture-level option?

'Shhh...... It seems like these five are more troublesome, but they have nothing to do with me anymore. ’

When Jiang Beiran was thinking about the five golden flowers, Mu Yao was also thinking about them, after all, in the first three halls, every time she went, there was a woman with a flower and a moon appearance who looked at her carefully, which made her feel that it should not be a coincidence.

'What a strange ......'

Waiting for Jiang Beiran to walk away, Liu Zijin quietly walked out of the Changxin Hall and came to the garden.

"Sister, sister?" Liu Zijin bent down and shouted quietly.

"I'm here~" A faint voice came from behind the flower bed.

Liu Zijin hurriedly trotted all the way over, looked at the person behind the flower bed and said, "Go back, sister, senior brother has already left." ”

After hearing this, Liu Qinghan immediately grabbed Liu Zijin and asked, "What is Senior Brother wearing today?" ”

"It's still the emperor's robe." Liu Zijin replied.

"Is that so?" Liu Qinghan took out a piece of drawing paper and asked Liu Zijin.

The painting is Jiang Beiran wearing an imperial robe, and the painting is lifelike, looking at the world.

"Well, that's it, even my father has to please the emperor when he sees it."

"If you take a closer look, is there anything wrong with the details?" Liu Qinghan asked, pointing to the painting.

"Well, I don't think there's anything wrong with it, or sister, you can go and see for yourself later, Senior Brother won't find you, and even if he does, I'm sure Senior Brother won't be so careful."

"Of course Senior Brother won't be careful." Liu Qinghan said while admiring the senior brother on the painting, and couldn't help but smile obsessively when he looked at it, "This is my punishment for myself, I will never appear in front of my senior brother." ”

"Alas...... It's all my fault. Liu Zijin sighed.

"You don't have to blame yourself, I have to tell you myself, if you feel sorry for me, just tell me what details are wrong on this imperial robe."

"Well, I'll take a look." Liu Zijin took the painting and looked at it carefully.

After seeing all the patriarchs, the time soon came to Shenshi, in the huge meeting hall, fifty-two patriarchs sat down one after another, and after sitting down, they immediately found that in addition to hot tea, there were several books with very special names on the table.

"Lulin County Plan for the Next Three Years", "Lulin County Land Reform Measures", "Lulin County Economic Plan"

……

Yu Kangan picked up one of the books and opened it, and after a while, he frowned and said to the other patriarchs around him: "Now I finally understand what this new emperor is looking for us to do." ”

A patriarch who had also read a few pages nodded and said, "I have heard that there has been a conflict between the new emperor and the Tao family, and it seems that this is because of this. ”

"This new emperor can't get those families outside, so he plans to use the coercion of the sect master to attack us?"

"Shhhh

"How can this be whispered? Look at what is written on this, what will we do in the future? ”

"At least the new emperor didn't give us orders directly in the name of the sect master, and called us all over, which means that he doesn't plan to come hard."

"Is it a question of hard or not? He ......"

"The emperor has arrived~"

When there was an uproar in the conference hall, the door of the conference hall was opened, and Jiang Beiran walked in slowly.

Coming to the master's seat and sitting down, Jiang Beiran looked at the patriarchs in the audience and smiled: "Judging by your expressions, you should have read the plan I wrote."

There was silence, and the patriarchs had completely lost the enthusiasm they had just greeted them, and they all seemed to be protesting with silence what was coming.

"Hahaha, it seems that all the patriarchs are not satisfied with my plan."

"Don't dare, the emperor is serious." Liu Sicun, the patriarch of the Liu family who was sitting in front, was the first to speak.

Someone took the lead, and the other patriarchs also spoke: "The emperor is serious. ”

"Why don't you give you two hours to read these plans, and then we'll get down to business?"

The dozens of patriarchs looked at each other at first, and then quickly replied in unison, "Obey." ”

Listening to the sound of flipping books in the conference hall, Jiang Beiran suddenly felt like an invigilator, and had the urge to go down and inspect it.

Two hours passed quickly, and some of these patriarchs in the council hall had already "handed in their papers in advance" as if they were excellent students, sitting in their seats and thinking about something.

The almost part is that I just finished reading it, and I haven't even had time to finish it.

Of course, there are quite a few who plan to "hand in the blank papers" directly.

These small details made Jiang Beiran know more about these patriarchs, they were like officials with uneven standards, if necessary, Jiang Beiran would also purge these patriarchs as he did with the Qing Dynasty.

"Patriarch Yu, you seem to have a question for me."

When the time came, Jiang Beiran looked at Yu Kangan, who had already finished the plan, and asked.

Although Yu Kangan didn't want to be this bird, since the emperor named him, he could only bite the bullet and say: "Your Majesty, the plan you mentioned has been read by everyone, it is very exciting and eye-opening, and it is worthy of being a wise man who can issue those new decrees." ”

Jiang Beiran didn't listen to these compliments, because he knew that there must be "just ......" in the back

Sure enough, after some praise, Yu Kangan hesitated and said, "It's just that the change is too big?" If you do what Your Majesty wants, it will cost immeasurable the amount of human and financial resources it will take. ”

"You don't have to worry about this, everyone here should know that in addition to being the emperor, I am also a disciple of the Guixin Sect, and Lulin County is the foundation of the Guixin Sect, so I will only bring benefits to everyone, otherwise Sect Master Lu will not agree, right?"

When the patriarch below heard this, he immediately felt that the taste was right, since it was the sect master who summoned them, it means that the sect master of these so-called plans should have seen it in person, and they were called to mean that the sect master had agreed to this matter.

Since the sect master can agree, it means that this matter will definitely be beneficial to their county.

However, they didn't completely put their minds at ease, after all, what is good for Lulin County does not mean that it is also good for them.
