From the capital to Gumu County, there are more than 2,000 miles of road, and Xu Qingfeng has been stunned for more than a month.

He was now an official, and every time he passed through a city, he had to pay a visit to the local governor.

When he arrived at the provincial capital of Youyun Province, he stayed there for two days and visited all the governors.

Those are his future superiors, and they must visit a dock.

Although he is only a magistrate of the seventh grade, he is a new Jinshi, and he is also a Jinshi who has been admitted to the top ten in the palace examination, and he still has a little potential in the future.

In view of this, the bigwigs in the provincial capital did not turn him away.

In two days in the provincial capital, Xu Qingfeng visited the officials of several provincial capitals, and the silver also spent thousands of taels.

When I arrived at the state capital of Little Golden State, I stayed for another two days.

When he arrived in the city of Xiaojinzhou, Liu Qing had already come to his side.

Here Xu Qingfeng visited his immediate boss, Lord Zhizhou of Xiaojinzhou.

In addition, at the behest of Liu Qing, he also visited Master Yun Yi, the presiding officer of the Xiaojinzhou Hongfa Temple.

Master Yun Yi is the spokesperson of the Dao Palace in Xiaojinzhou, and he is the court's Yulu, which is the same level as the Zhizhou of Xiaojinzhou.

If Liu Qing wanted to engage in feudal superstition in Gumu County under the rule of Xiaojinzhou, he first had to obtain the consent of Master Yunyi.

When Xu Qingfeng saw Master Yun Yi, the first thing he gave was a jade ruyi, which he bought for five hundred taels of silver.

With such a gift, the next communication is harmonious.

Master Yun Yi is in his forties, and he came to Xiaojin Prefecture more than ten years ago, and at that time, Xiao Jin Zhou did not have the power of Dao Palace, he was a pioneer.

More than ten years ago, as soon as the imperial court passed the decision to exile prisoners to go to the Great and Small Golden Prefectures to reclaim the famine, the Taoist Palace sent Master Yun Yi to bring more than a dozen Taoist priests to Xiaojin Prefecture to establish the Dharma Promotion Hall and promote the Taoism.

Master Yun Yi, who was only in his thirties at the time, became the youngest mage in Daqian's hundred years.

Moreover, he was given a great deal of power to appoint the Taoist temple master under his own control, and all the incense money received by the Hongfa Hall did not have to be handed over, and he could decide the use of it at his own discretion - but he had to report it.

In addition, he was given a quota of 500 Taoist priests, and he could decide for himself who to admit as Taoist priests.

In this world, Taoist priests also enjoy various privileges, no worse than Xiucai.

Give him five hundred places for Taoist priests, and that would be a huge fortune.

Just like an official holding a quota of 500 talents, selling the quota to those who need it is easily tens of thousands of taels of silver.

Now the Hongfa Hall in the state city was established under his auspices, and the funds for the construction were not paid by the Dao Palace, but by himself.

One is to go to the provincial capital as his own mage, and the other is to sell the Taoist quota.

It's a pity that he is a mage in Xiaojinzhou, and his Taoist quota can only be given to the population of Xiaojinzhou, and cannot be sold to the provincial capital.

Xiaojinzhou is also a state with a predominantly migrant population, and the only people who can buy other Taoist priests are powerful families in the state town and the counties below, and there are few merchants.

Ordinary people can't afford it.

This also made his Taoist priesthood only sell out a few dozen times.

The financial embarrassment can be imagined.

When he was first appointed as a mage, Yun Yizhi was complacent, feeling that he had become a mage at such a young age, and his future achievements were limitless.

Ten years later, however, he was still a mage.

A few years ago, he already understood that the Dao Palace asked him to be the master of the Hongfa Hall in Xiaojinzhou, not to promote him, but to belittle him.

When I came, the Dao Palace didn't have any foundation here, there were only large tracts of barren land in this place, and there were some sinners who had migrated from the interior.

Up to now, his achievement is to build the Dharma Hall in the state city, and a total of more than 1,000 statues of gods have entered the temple to worship, and then it is the City God Temple in the state city.

According to the convention, every county has to build a Taoist temple, but it is not enough to raise that much money.

Even the City God Temple in the state city was only built two or three years ago.

The Taoist Palace asked him to come over in the hope that he would spread the Taoism all over Xiaojinzhou, but now don't talk about preaching, even Taoist temples in several counties have not been built.

Such an achievement obviously does not meet the criteria for promotion.

However, it is too difficult to make achievements in a place where the relocation of sinners only began to be reclaimed more than a decade ago.

The people who farm here are all guilty of crimes.

Without the protection of officers and soldiers, the Taoist priests did not dare to go out of the city, so how could they preach?

When he first arrived, Master Yun Yi still wanted to make achievements, and sent people to preach in the fields to attract believers to worship.

However, within half a year, the two Taoist priests who were sent out were killed.

After that, no Taoist priest dared to go out to preach again.

Master Yun Yi naturally didn't dare even more.

After the ambition wears off, all you want to do is mess around.

There are still some rich people living in the state city, and they can also receive some incense money every year.

Over the years, he has also saved some private houses, and he thinks that one day the Dao Palace will not be able to stand him anymore, and let someone else replace him, so that he can return to the mainland with the private houses he has saved over the years to live a good life.

Now there is no Tao in his eyes, only money.

- Aside from his identity as a mage, he is a middle-aged man whose edges and corners have been smoothed by the years.

As soon as Xu Qingfeng got started, he was a jade ruyi with a very good texture, which made Master Yun Yi have a very good impression of him, and felt that this person could be dealt with.

Now Master Yun Yi's criterion for judging people is whether they are willing to give him money.

If you don't want to give him money, that's picking goods.

Those who are willing to give him money are good people.

And those who are willing to give him a lot of money are even more good people.

Those who can give hundreds of taels of silver at a time have been out of the category of good people, and that is called beloved relatives and friends.

As soon as Xu Qingfeng made a move, he had already reached the standard of his beloved relatives and friends.

The communication between the two was very harmonious, and the mage even left Xu Qingfeng for a meal.

During the conversation, Xu Qingfeng knew that the palace was in Xiaojinzhou, and there was only this Dharma propagation hall and a city god temple in the state city, and he was secretly happy in his heart, feeling that this was his opportunity to repay Liu Qing.

So he told the Master that he had always been a devout believer, and since there were no Taoist temples and Chenghuang Temples in Gumu County, he was willing to assist the Dao Palace in setting up this there.

Although Master Yun Yi no longer had any idea of expanding the power of the Dao Palace, he was still quite happy that someone took the initiative to help him do things, and he expressed his gratitude at that time.

Then he called a young Taoist priest: "Mingxiu, you will follow Xu Zhixian today and go to Gumu County to build a Taoist temple. ”

Taoist priest Mingxiu was overjoyed and thanked.

Master Yun Yi said to him again:

"Xu Zhixian and I hit it off at first sight, they are my beloved relatives and friends, you have to treat him like me, you have to listen to him in everything, you must not collide unreasonably, do you understand?"

Daoist Mingxiu hurriedly replied, "Understood, Master." ”
