Early the next morning, after getting up and eating breakfast, Taoist Mingxiu set off with Xu Qingfeng's team.

From the state city to Gumu County.

The team sent by Old Lady Xu to help Xu Qingfeng had already caught up with him more than ten days ago, and now there are a total of twenty or thirty people in their team, and it will be Xu Qingfeng's team to govern Gumu County in the future.

Guarding them on their way were twenty men in armor.

There is no way, it is not safe to go out of the city, and you must have soldiers to protect it.

This insecurity does not come from the northern barbarians outside the border, but from the bandits within.

This is a place of exile, and those who live in the city are good people, and those who live outside the city are sinners.

Some criminals were very timid, and after they came, they honestly farmed the land for the government and handed over most of the harvest in the land to the government.

There are also some extremely vicious criminals, after coming here, it didn't take long for them to stop farming and go into the mountains to become bandits.

Sometimes they rob passing caravans, and sometimes they rob farmers who are farming.

The government has also launched several crackdowns on bandits, but the mountains here are high and dense, and it is difficult to find those bandits when they hide in the mountains.

After that, it simply didn't matter, and only when it was time to harvest the grain, soldiers would be sent to patrol.

Usually let it go.

The cities here were built to resist the invasion of the barbarians, and they were not necessarily large, but each city was strong and could not be attacked by bandits.

All the good people in the city are good people, and it is enough to protect the safety of these good people.

As for the exiled sinners, it is up to them to fend for themselves.

In any case, there is no shortage of people in the country, especially those who are of low quality.

There are not enough people here, so they continue to move people from the mainland.

If there are not enough people who have committed serious crimes, then count those who are not so serious.

Misdemeanors are not enough, so make sinners.

You can also catch all the beggars to make up the number, which can just give a clear space in the interior of the Great Qian.

As for the lives of those who have been exiled, who cares?

For the sake of the Empire's security, someone has to make sacrifices.

Then let them sacrifice.

People outside the city, no one will feel sorry if they die, as long as they can hand in the food on time.

It's just that the world outside the city is so chaotic, and the people in the city want to go out, either in groups, or in officers and soldiers.

This is also a phenomenon unique to the large and small Golden States.

Xu Qingfeng had never heard of such a thing in the mainland, that is, he only knew about it when he arrived at the boundary of Xiaojinzhou.

But he wasn't worried.

With a team of twenty or thirty people, plus twenty armored men to escort him, no bandit dared to approach.

On top of that, there is also the protection of the land god, so there is no need to worry.

No matter how powerful the bandits are, they are just ordinary people, flesh and blood, how can they be able to defeat the gods?

When I saw the land god in my dream, the burly figure standing on the top of the sky, it shocked him.

A god like that, with a single finger, could crush all the bandits—he thought.

I'm not worried about my safety, but when I think of having to be the magistrate of such a bad place in the future, my head has become big.

The poor mountains and bad waters make the people, and there are murders at every turn, which is a headache to think about.

In the past, I was most worried about the invasion of the northern barbarians, but now it seems that even if there are no barbarians, this official is not very good.

He walked side by side with Taoist Mingxiu, and asked about the situation in Xiaojinzhou, and the more he asked, the more he frowned, feeling that this errand was too difficult to handle.

Daoist Mingxiu was quite excited, full of hope for the future, just like when his master, Master Yunyi, first came to Xiaojinzhou.

He felt that he had only become a Taoist master in his twenties, and his future was great.

Maybe in a few years, he will be able to surpass Nai Shi and become the youngest mage in Daqian.

He was worshiped four or five years ago under the Yunmen, his father was stationed in the state city of Huang Qianhu, he had four brothers, because he was sick since childhood, his health was relatively poor, and he couldn't learn the ability to go into battle to kill the enemy, so his father spent money to buy a Taoist place from Master Yunyi, and worshiped under Master Yunyi.

In the past four or five years, I have learned some Taoist etiquette, and I have also encountered some small tricks used by the master to cheat people of money, but I have lost my awe of the Taoist Palace, and I feel that this is a gathering place for liars, and the gods and goddesses worshiped are all fake.

For him, the Dao Palace is not a spiritual support, not a spiritual refuge, but just an officialdom.

All he wanted to do was climb up.

This opportunity to become the master of the Taoist Temple in Gumu County is a huge opportunity for him.

Yun Yi gave him a lot of autonomy, and he only had to hand over 20% of the incense money, which was very exciting.

As long as you can collect more money, and then use the money to open up the official road, isn't it waiting to soar in the future?

Although there is no shadow of the Taoist Temple and the Chenghuang Temple in Gumu County now, this Xu Zhixian has promised to help him build it, so it will not be a problem.

He, a Taoist priest, did this in the past, and he didn't feel alone, but felt that he had infinite possibilities.

Master Yunyi sent him to Gumu County to brush his performance, and he still felt a little guilty in his heart, so he gave him twenty Taoist places.

These 20 Taoist priest quotas are his basis for fighting the world in Gumu County.

Xu Qingfeng did not forget the agreement with Liu Qing to build a temple for Liu Qing here.

At first, I thought of building more land temples in the countryside, so that the Dao Palace would not care.

Now I learned that the countryside of Gumu County was so bad, and I felt that it was difficult to implement the matter of building a land temple, so I started the idea of a city god temple.

He offered to Master Yunyi to help Dao Gong build a Taoist temple and a city god temple in Gumu County, just for this goal.

It's hard to say this goal clearly, so ask Mingxiu first:

"Lord Huang Guan, Gumu County is the county seat that has only been built in the past few years, and there was no city god before, if we want to build a city god temple in the past, which city god should be erected?"

Mingxiu glanced at him, wanted to laugh a little, and thought: "Isn't this just a random name and a god?" You don't think there really are gods in this world, do you? ”

If you think so, you can't say that, but say:

"Don't worry about this, Lord Xu, Xiaodao went there, he should bathe and fast, and communicate with God, who is Gumu Chenghuang at that time, God will make it clear."

Xu Qingfeng sighed, knowing that the power to set up who was the city god was in the hands of this little Taoist priest, his heart was settled.

The little Taoist priest is always easier to deal with than Master Yun Yi, who is in his forties.

Then he asked, "What about the land temples in various places?" And how to seal it? ”

Mingxiu couldn't help but laugh and said, "With the current situation in Gumu County, it's still too early to build a land temple. ”

Outside the city, it was a chaotic world, and he didn't want to develop incense over there, as long as he fooled the good people in the county.

Land Temple, leave it alone.
