When the money and grain were distributed, the farmers thanked them and left, and the pedestrians on the road were in a hurry, all of them were migrant workers who had returned home, and they were all smiling.

When they started work, they said that they would pay wages, but now they have confirmed it, and those who want to work are suddenly lined up, and a bucket of white rice is exchanged for one for two, which is enough for the whole family to eat, not to mention fifty literary wages.

At this time, it was already night, the sky was faintly starry, a bright moon was hanging, and the snow on the ground was still there, and the snow was shining brightly.

The roads were flat and spacious, large enough for three horse-drawn carriages to run side by side, which was a rarity in this era.

It's just that there is a pitch-black wooden checkpoint on the wide road, and the horizontal fence is on the road, no one has opened it, and there is no way to pass it, and several officials have closed the checkpoint.

"In the future, there will be a car passing by, but it will be charged. The middle-aged official looked at the checkpoint and said.

"One penny per car, not a lot, even a businessman can afford it. Someone picked up.

"yes, not much. ”

"It's not much. And everybody joined in.

The middle-aged official listened, was silent for a while, and said to a few colleagues: "At the end of the day, everyone is tired, let's go back early." ”

Several officials had already had the intention of going, and when they heard the words, they went back.

Watching them go away, the middle-aged official frowned and asked a young man, "What do you think?"

"Father, it's hard to say. The young man looked a little confused: "In the past, real people have also built roads and water conservancy, but they don't pay wages, but there is no shortage of rations." ”

"But after the official road is built, the money is collected, but it is unprecedented, father, do you think real people will be rare this money? Even if you collect one or two taels a day, it is less than a thousand taels a year, and real people want this money?"

"And according to the rules, according to the proportion of capital contribution, the county magistrate receives two-thirds of it, and one-third is obtained by the owner of the contribution, but in two-thirds, half of the officials who come to manage the affairs are given, which is regarded as additional income, which is still unprecedented!"

The middle-aged clerk nodded, according to the order, there are no permanent members at the checkpoint, and the gentry send people to collect money, and the officials in the yamen take turns to preside, and the officials who preside over their turn can enjoy one-third of it, although they only have three hundred wen a day, but it is also an income, which is really confusing.

No one would have the idea of bribing a real person to bribe a servant!

The middle-aged official was confused, not to mention it, all this fell into the eyes of a female crown.

The trees in front of the cave are lush and verdant, and there are green trees and flowers in this winter time, which makes people feel incredible.

Turning into decay, stealing heaven and earth to create, turning to the moon god machine, this is the cultivator.

In the lush forest, the cave wall enters, a cave gradually becomes cheerful, although there are water droplets falling, it is not necessarily dark, but there is a rich aura, which makes people feel refreshed and happy, it is really a good place.

There is a fine room inside, Song Yizhi is watching, a water mirror in front of him is sparkling, and many scenes are constantly changing, and finally frozen on the confused expression of the middle-aged official.

Song Yizhi looked at it and snorted coldly: "It turns out that he wants to collect money, it's really strange!"

She showed a disdainful and confused expression, this kind of road construction, bridge repair and water conservancy repair, all generations of real people have basically had it, although there is not much merit, it is better than nothing.

But with the matter of collecting money, it becomes nondescript.

Cultivators seek merit and build roads and bridges for the benefit of one party, but once they collect fees, the original meager merit is completely gone.

What does this Wang Cunye, or Xuan Shang, ask for?

The ocean is gray and misty, obscure and unstoppable, and the abyss lurks.

Several real people flew in the air, standing silently in the air, probing the situation in the ocean.

Some time ago, it was said that the sea surface was quite normal, although it was a little gray, and it was not excessive, but recently the fog has become bigger and bigger, and ordinary fishermen, seeing the gray fog, are inexplicably frightened.

"Cheng Jin Zhenren, how is the situation here?" A young girl real person, holding a jade pot, saw that Cheng Jin Zhenren had received the magic weapon, obviously after checking it, her beautiful eyes looked forward to it, and asked with words.

Several Taoists had different expressions, some were worried, and some were indifferent, but when the girl asked this, they all paid attention here.

Cheng Jin Zhenren is the Taoist prince of Chengping Dao, the master of the Ascending Immortal Palace, and has reached the level of the immortals, and is proficient in the method of Xuanguang, which is the same in terms of exploration.

They also want to know how the sea is changing.

"The breath of the Endless Sea is constantly permeating, and the changes in the sea area are caused by this!" Cheng Jinzhen said, telling everyone the results of this time.

"Hey, the power of the demon king of the outside world is getting stronger and stronger. ”

"The catastrophe is coming, how to break out of the catastrophe?" Several Taoists faintly knew that at this moment, Cheng Jinzhen made a final statement, and they couldn't help but change color, and the situation was getting worse and worse.

"We're not going to do anything here, let's go back and discuss it and see what we do!" the girl sighed and said to everyone.

"That's good!" This trip to the East China Sea was originally to investigate, and there was no need to stay here after the matter was over.

Cheng Jinzhen fell to Qianwen Mountain and entered the cave, and the aura rushed inside, and he felt that his whole body was clear, but there was not much joy on his face.

He was used to it.

"In ancient times, the Endless Sea was the boundary of this world, the environment was harsh, although there were islands, there were few human tracks, three hundred years ago the outside demon king invaded, but on the other side of the land was transformed into a land, at the beginning it was only like an island, and gradually became like a continent. ”

"Therefore, the gray mist seeped in, although there was an enchantment shield, but the situation was still more serious than the other, which showed that the Daoists sent were all killed and injured. ”

Cheng Jinzhen groaned, and subconsciously held a piece of jade rubbing, this piece of jade itself is a treasure, it is a treasure condensed into the essence of ten thousand years of yang in the mountain, the best way to clear the heart and drive away evil spirits, just a hand, I feel a trace of warm yang qi throughout the body, and my mind gradually calms down.

Cheng Jin Zhenren couldn't help but smile to himself, Daomen battles and then consume, it is not the same to reach the immortals, he will be ordered by the Daojun to enter the Ziqing Jade Mansion to cultivate, at this time when he is at the door, even if it is his own Dao heart, he has some gains and losses, so that Cheng Jin Zhenren feels a little self-deprecating.

After settling down, he saw hundreds of red lights hanging at the door of the cave, smiled faintly, and with just one move, one red light flew over.

This is the news of the report, which is carried out in the form of runes, and will be sent to the hands of Cheng Jinzhen every day.

Cheng Jinzhen's demeanor was originally calm, but when he received a message, he frowned: "En, what's wrong with this Xuanshang?"

There has been no movement for three months, Cheng Jinzhen will not be disappointed, after three hundred years of county governance, everything that can be done has been done, and naturally he can't get much Taoism.

In this way, if you follow the steps step by step and do nothing, you can always get basic points, which is enough for a Taoist who has just started.

But what is this hand now?

With a wave of Cheng Jinzhen's long sleeves, a ray of light rushed out and disappeared into the air in a blink of an eye.

In a moment, in front of the cave, Wang Cunye fell, and when he arrived at the gate, he said loudly: "Xuan Shang asks to see the master!"

"Hmm, come in!" I heard a voice coming out, which made people's minds clear, Wang Cunye stepped in, and saw Cheng Jinzhen sitting on the cloud couch, not far away was a female crown, who looked like a girl.

Wang Cunye saluted, and then looked at the young girl, and then said: "I've seen the master, I don't know what the master commands?"

Cheng Jinzhen nodded, looked at it, put down a jade book in his hand, and asked, "I heard that you built a road, but you set up a card to collect money?"

At this time, there was no resentment, Cheng Jin Zhenren had already calmed down, thinking that he would not look away, and a real person would ask for these hundreds of taels of silver?

The monthly ration alone is more than that.

Wang Cunye had already expected it, and the current chief inspector: "Yes, the disciple has this matter, but of course it is not for this money, but it is just for the governance of the county government, but there must be an entry point, and please let the disciples talk about it one by one......"

But before the words fell, Cheng Jinzhen glanced at the girl Zhenren and said: "As long as you know that you have a plan in your heart, you don't have to mess around randomly, you don't have to tell the details." ”

After speaking, he no longer asked, but patted the jade book, and asked: "You have been managing the county government recently, this is a good thing, but you can't relax your Taoism, if you have time, you might as well listen to the Tao often, the recent elders will open the lecture on the Dao, and the disciples in the door can go to listen to the lecture." ”

The elder opened the speech, it is not rare, but it is not very common, Wang Cunye's expression moved, he had actually heard a few times before, but there was a turtle shell, and he felt that these knowledge of the realm of ghosts and immortals could not benefit him much, so he did not go.

However, now that Cheng Jinzhen said this, Wang Cunye suddenly felt that he had to go often, not to absorb knowledge, but to make himself out of line.

Listening to lectures from time to time can not only get a good impression on the elders, but also have a reason to show your true colors later.

You can't say that you can understand the creation behind closed doors!

Thinking of this, Wang Cunye said: "Yes, thank you for your advice!"

Originally, I was summoned to interrogate, but now that I have figured it out, what should I do if I don't have an envoy?

Cheng Jinzhen smiled again: "There are three hundred volumes of Taoist scriptures in my cave, all of which I have selected, and you can also go and watch one or two." ”

That's why it's called.

"Yes!" Wang Cunye looked at it again, seeing that he had nothing to say, he waved his sleeve robe, and entered the cave mansion, which was very vast, with many stone rooms, Wang Cunye glanced at it lightly, and found the quiet room.

I found a dense bookcase in the quiet room, and when I looked at it, I checked the catalog first, and suddenly found that although half of it was read, half of it was not read.

Wang Cunye was overjoyed in his heart, and he didn't want to delay time, so he immediately pulled out and turned over silently.

At this time, the girl Zhenren smiled: "You are so cautious, seeing me here, let him hurry up and not talk more, it's really a lot of heart." ”

"It's not a lot of heart, it's just a rule, and we can't interfere in this matter. Cheng Jin Zhenren said calmly.

"Hmph!" the girl heard this, and just sneered.
