After the people of the Liu family came to open a shop, Liu Qing's incense in Gumu County slowly became vigorous.

The incense stick workshop started making incense after a few days, and after half a month, there were incense sticks that could be sold.

Local materials are used and sold locally, so that the price of incense sticks will further fall, so that more poor people can afford to consume this thing.

The quality of the incense sticks made at the beginning was not so good, but the divine power that Liu Qing received was still the same, so he didn't mind.

And also to the people in the workshop, in order to make more people afford to burn incense, you can consider reducing the cost of incense sticks.

- As long as the divine power provided to you is the same, then there is no need to care about the quality of the incense.

On the 25th of August, the Chenghuang Temple was finally completed, and the Taoist priest Mingxiu presided over the ceremony of inviting the gods, and personally invited the statue of Liu Qing into the temple.

On this day, the people in the city came to offer incense to the city god, and people in a large area outside the city heard about it a few days ago, and they also came over to offer incense.

During this time, the story of Liu Qing, the city god, spread in the Gumu County area, and everyone knew that he was the god who protected the people of Gumu County.

On the day of the inauguration of the temple, it is natural that many people will be willing to come and offer incense.

It's just that some of them are too far away from the county seat, and it is very inconvenient to incense, and the most important thing for them is to live, rather than dedicating their beliefs for a legendary existence, so they can only give up such an important day.

On that day, thousands of people entered the temple to offer incense to Liu Qing, the new city god.

There are also people from other villages who take away the statue of the god and bring it back to the village to worship.

The completion of the City God Temple is another milestone event for Liu Qing after becoming a god.

At this time, the Taoist temple was still under construction, and it would take at least a month to complete.

It will take several months to carve out all the statues of the gods enshrined in the Taoist temple.

The opening of the Taoist temple will not be possible until the spring of the following year.

The City God Temple was able to be built first, mainly because of the small footprint and the fact that it only enshrined the statue of Liu Qing.

Liu Qing will not go to the construction task of the pipeline view.

After the construction of the City God Temple, I felt that I had completed a heartfelt matter, so I planned to do a big job here.

- Go up the mountain to suppress bandits.

In the branch of the Tibetan Gold Mountain, there are still more than 1,000 bandits.

Although they don't dare to make trouble in Gumu County at the moment, if they make trouble in the surrounding area, sooner or later it will affect this side.

If these bandits are not eliminated, Gumu County will not be able to find peace.

Most importantly, the life of the bandits was much more chic than that of the peasants who worked hard in the fields.

If the officers and men do not do anything to them and let them continue to be at ease in the world outside the city, it will play a bad role as an example for the common people who have worked hard to cultivate the land, and will cause more people to join the bandit gang.

There will be no peace in that place.

Therefore, in Liu Qing's opinion, those bandits must die.

Frankly speaking, Liu Qing has a lot of things that he can't stand about the Daqian court, which is a rotten court that relies on sucking the blood of the people at the bottom to maintain their drunken life.

If someone rises up against this court, he will pay tribute to that person.

But these bandits went into the mountains to become thieves, not to resist the Daqian court, they didn't dare to resist the court at all, but just aimed the butcher's knife at those bitter people.

You can't fight against the strong, you can only oppress the weak.

Liu Qing really looks down on such goods.

Those bandits are basically burdened with blood debts, and such people are damned no matter what world they are in.

Killing them, Liu Qing didn't feel excessive at all.

If you don't hand over those bandits to exterminate, the common people can't live in peace, and the local area can't develop, where is the mood to incense him?

With Liu Qing's current methods, it is not impossible to destroy those bandits by himself.

However, the women that the robbers robbed past, and the wealth they robbed, he had no way to turn them out.

So after thinking about it, I still have to let the officers and soldiers take action.

And Xu Qingfeng had to personally take the officers and soldiers to take action.

This can solve a lot of troubles, and at the same time, it can also give Xu Qingfeng a wave of political achievements.

Eliminating bandits and ensuring peace and tranquility is definitely an excellent political achievement.

Although Xu Qingfeng is not a believer of Liu Qing until now, he has made some contributions to the promotion of Liu Qing's incense.

His official work is bigger, and Liu Qing's incense is more.

Xu Qingfeng's suggestion to the governor of Xiaojin Prefecture to unite all counties to eliminate bandits did not receive a positive response, but his idea of Gumu County acting alone was tacitly approved by the governor.

As long as this operation can be successful, Zhizhou will not punish him for the crime of making his own claims.

With such acquiescence, Xu Qingfeng also began to prepare for this matter.

He also knows that this can help him make political achievements, and he also knows that if the people here can farm well and grow more food, they must be given a safer production environment.

Therefore, he is also quite concerned about the matter of suppressing bandits.

Of course, the most important reason is that he believes that with the protection of Liu Qing, the true god, the anti-bandit operation will inevitably succeed.

- Liu Qing had already told him that he knew the bandits' dens very clearly, and he couldn't hide at all.

The reason why the officers and soldiers failed to suppress the bandits in the past was because there was no way to find any trace of the bandits in the vast mountains.

But no matter how much they could hide, they couldn't hide from the eyes of God.

For such an anti-bandit action, Xu Qingfeng was full of confidence and felt that it was a matter of immediate success.

When the people outside the city said that everything in the field was harvested, Xu Qingfeng asked the county lieutenant Luo to take people to the villages outside the city to select 500 strong men to enter the city, and borrowed people from Xia Qianhu to teach them the art of fighting.

Those criminals outside the city, in addition to planting food for the border army, also have to accept the government's requisition to work, which is called conscription.

Let them do whatever they want, and it's still free.

The common people in the interior also have to hand in grain and serve in forced labor, but the time spent in forced labor is relatively small, and the proportion of grain handed in is not so heavy.

The magistrate's order was issued, and no one dared to disobey it.

After training for half a month, the day after the ceremony of inviting the gods in the Chenghuang Temple, he took those people to incense in front of the Chenghuang Temple and swore that he would go into the mountains to suppress the bandits, exterminate all the bandits in the Xiaojin Prefecture, and bring a bright future to the people here.

For such an important thing, taking an oath in the City God Temple is to raise the status of the City God and send a signal to the people here that the City God is the god who truly blesses this land.

After Xu Qingfeng took the oath, a black starling fluttered his wings and flew over the City God Temple and spoke:

"I am the messenger of the city god, and the city god told me that it is a great good thing for Xu Zhi County to enter the mountains to suppress bandits this time, and he specially ordered me to come over to assist Xu Zhi County in suppressing bandits."
