Ember Bing looked at the city gate in front of him, secretly looking forward to it. Third-order missionary, don't let him down.

Just before the tea, he was sent by Li Qingyun to the outside of Wuxian County. One moment ago, he was still thinking about experiencing the flying of the Imperial Sword that could only be cast after the Four Realms Star Yuan, and the next moment he saw Li Qingyun use Qingxiao to draw a crack out of thin air and kick himself in.

After opening his eyes again, Ember Ice had already arrived in Wuxian.

After lining up with a group of people entering the city, Ember Bing looked at his clothes, secretly thinking in his heart.

Find the sword in the sword tomb and accept the inheritance. It took almost four hours. He spent some time talking about the inheritance content that Li Qingyun remembered sporadically, such as the "Black Sky Curtain" and the "Bright World" outside the Sky Canopy. Li Qingyun frowned when he heard this, but after being silent for a long time, he only said that he didn't need to think about it.

It is worth mentioning that he did not forget to dig out the storage board buried at the foot of the mountain when he was practicing. There is no place to spend money in the mountains, so he is still rich in his pocket.

Look at the sky, well, find a safe place to stay and put your luggage first. Oh yes, he doesn't have luggage. Then find an inn first, this operation must be secretive. Let the missionary notice him, but not let him feel a sense of crisis. He must not be given the opportunity to endanger the people.

As for the yamen, they still don't know the stronghold of the missionaries and their identities on the surface, so it is not easy to swagger to rely on official power. Even apart from his father, Ember Ice is the biggest official.

Because the missionaries may well have bewitched the county order. Once lurking in the city, the official will definitely be the first target, which is not difficult to guess.

"Boy, can't you get in? If you don't enter, we'll close the gates. "Guarding the gates of the city was a big man in armor. Seeing the young man standing still, he spoke out to inquire about it.

Seeing that the young man was dressed in a linen robe and covered in dust, he should have escaped from Jingzhou. Otherwise, in the current situation, how can you be dressed in sackcloth and white, and you are not willing to change it.

He didn't know that there were no clothes under the mountain on the Sword Pavilion, and Li Qingyun didn't allow the young man in front of him to change into the exclusive robe of the Sword Pavilion, which made the young man wash his sackcloth. Otherwise, with the youthful temperament, even if you can think of wearing linen clothes, you will not think of wearing old clothes again.

"Ahh Isn't the gate closed at the time of unitary? Why did the eldest brother say this? Coming back to his senses, Ember Bing scolded secretly, after staying in the absolutely safe environment of the Sword Pavilion for a year, his vigilance had lost most of his vigilance. Immediately tried to use words to hide the panic when the train of thought was interrupted. You know, it's the unusual reaction that gets the attention of the guards the most.

Fortunately, the soldier is also the character of Da Ra, and after identifying the young man in front of him as a desert escape, his defense against the young man is much smaller. In his eyes, the young man's tremor undoubtedly showed his frightened bird state.

The soldier patted Ember Bing on the shoulder, took out a stack of copper plates from his bosom and handed it to the young man, and said in a tone that he thought was extremely kind: "Go in, find a cheap inn to live in first, and save some money enough for you to eat and live for two days." I wanted to find a job for myself, but I really didn't have a way out, so I came to the camp to find me. Anyway, I'm a good guy, and I can arrange a place for you. ”

For some reason, he always felt that the down-and-out young man in front of him was unusual, and his whole body exuded a fierce momentum, which was very extraordinary. That's why I made a good friend.

Ember Ice was puzzled, but still declined the soldier's kindness.

The soldiers did not give up, fearing that the boy in front of him would sleep on the streets and be thrown into prison by the unreasonable patrol soldiers after the curfew. Since other people's children fled all the way to their Wuxian County, he Wang Lu can't let his family be wronged as soon as he comes, right?

The argument didn't end until Ember took out a stack of about seventy or eighty Tongbao from his cuff.

Unknown Ember Ice walked into the city gate, until he saw the notice sign "Jing and Xiang Prefecture Famine". It turned out that he was a deserter. But even if you run away, no one will cross the state, right? How could an already hungry refugee go so far?

But one thing to say, the man just now was really enthusiastic.

The folk customs of a region can be seen from the soldiers. If the military style is clear, then the people are generally honest. If the soldiers take pleasure in eating fish and meat, then the people in the city will be disheartened, and the merchants will naturally be mercenary.

As for the chief like the one who didn't have any shelf at all just now, if it weren't for the case, then Wuxian County could really be regarded as a model for other states and counties.

After reading the postings carefully, there was no useful information, but there was a conscription notice recruiting young people under the age of 20.

The State of Shu, especially after Ember Qianzhen ascended to the throne, was very attentive to the army. Not only did they issue decrees to improve their full salary, but they also delegated their power to the battalion without interfering in the training of the battalion, and allowed the commanders and non-commissioned officers to mingle with each other, which was the best way to give full play to the autonomy of the army, and at the same time, it was also a full manifestation of its own strength and self-confidence. Only those in high positions who are not afraid of rebellion by their subordinates dare to do so.

High military salaries, all domestic consumption discounts, the loss of merchants is made up by the national treasury, and the families of those who donated their lives in the war can receive 100 taels of silver as a pension. According to the current rate of official silver, scattered silver and Tongbao, it is about 140 hanging money, which is enough for a family of three to live without food and clothing for twenty or thirty years. Of course, it refers to a life that does not pursue pleasure and luxury.

And under the generous treatment, there are also extremely strict rules. No matter how high or low their status in the army, but there are those who exploit the people and bully the civilians, they are put in prison and beheaded every day, and the men in the family are married, and the female relatives rush into the workshop. And those who bully men and women and cause their lives will be punished by the nine clans.

When the decree was first issued, because it touched the interests of many high-ranking military officials, many civil and military officials openly and covertly resisted. In addition, the methods of Ember Qianzhen were also disgraceful, and the implementation of the decree did not go smoothly. The arrogant soldiers in the army did not take the decree seriously. I don't even bother to do it.

Therefore, for those who have legitimate reasons to refute, Ember Qianzhen did not care, and those who violated the yang and the yin, whether it was those hussar generals above the eight or ninth realms, or Chen Yingxun, a military general, or Shen Hongxun, a former dynasty noble, took action in person, and none of the unfavorable people left behind. Half a decade later, half of the civil and military officials were missing, and most of the court was empty.

The military style changed dramatically in an instant.

This is not the end, after a year to make up for the courtiers, Ember Qianzhen attacked the local officials again, once in Beijing, the incompetently deprived of official positions, the punishment for poor political performance, and the corruption of the party and the reckless disregard for human life did not even give a chance to explain, and directly splashed blood on the spot above the government and court.

And the Bingyue Hall, which wanted to be arrogant and unwilling to be used, also appeared in the military camps in various places when Ember Qianzhen was cleaning up the officialdom, and liquidated the soldiers who knew the law and broke the law for half a year.

If there were still complaints about these laws and regulations in the army at the beginning, but after more than ten years of operation of the decrees, after reaping the real benefits and the love of the people, everyone from the officers to the non-commissioned officers was already enjoying it.

In this world, if you want others to listen to your reasoning, you must be able to calm him down and listen to your reasoning.

For example, fists.

Although this move weakened the strength of the court and the army, it completely returned a clean atmosphere to Shu. The benefits in the long run are immeasurable.

Walking slowly down the street, Ember Ice looked around, first looking for an inn to settle in. In just half a stick of incense, he had his own plan. How do you make the missionary aware of himself without startling the snake? He had to find a way to lure out the missionaries in the shadows, and he had to prevent him from breaking the jar and pulling in a large number of civilians on his verge of death.

The Ming people used the dissemination of teachings as a means of practice, and were especially fond of preaching to monks. However, their character is that once they encounter an incapable monk, they will run away, and they will be very desperate for their lives.

Therefore, he should show his cultivation appropriately, but not too exaggeratedly. Let that Ming think that he can be preached.

After turning a street, Ember Bing saw an inn called "Xian Zui Lou" at the end.

Well, good name. If his master saw it, he would definitely go in and have a big drink. And then smash the field. "Do you dare to call it Immortal Drunken Building? The wine is as light as water, and is the heart of your shopkeeper black? "Master will definitely say this in front of the guests, and then leave the silver and walk away. Ember Bing thought. After all, as the last immortal in the world, he hates that others make jokes about "immortals".

With a sigh, Ember Ice decisively turned around and walked towards the inn on the street. If nothing else, just for him Ember Bing to see that the wooden house is brighter than this bright tile, it is definitely not because of shyness.

"Poor ghost. Just like this, he dares to look at the best inn in the city. In the crowd, a somewhat shrill voice came.

"Let's not say a word, seeing that his cloth is washed white, it must be from a poor country. It is said that Jingzhou and Xiangzhou are fighting for famine, maybe they fled the famine, otherwise they would not be able to afford a cloth for more than a dozen dollars. It looks like he's only seventeen or eighteen years old, which is really pitiful. Another slightly gruff voice came. In the end, the owner of the voice sighed.

"Hey, don't you want to talk about poverty? Such a poor boy deserves this kind of place? Hey, poor devil, that means you! What to watch? Give it to the master, I'll get out. Dirty eyes. The first voice continued to shout.

Ember Bing's eyes lit up, and someone gave him a pillow just as he wanted to sleep. His chance to show his cultivation has come. He turned his head to see that it was a young man with triangular eyes who spoke. Seeing Ember Ice look over, he continued to taunt.

This kind of person he knows - he specializes in staying next to the best inn in the city, and earns some copper money by buying some fresh gossip for the innkeeper and the shopkeeper. Oh, this kid is very upright, and he is worried about how to show his cultivation reasonably.

At that moment, Ember Bing frowned and said to the triangular-eyed youth, "Do you dare to repeat what you just said?" ”

"Yo, you're not happy to say a word about you?" Triangular Eyes was startled by Ember Ice's tone, but came back to his senses and was greatly annoyed. Originally, he wouldn't have spoken so extremely, but he was just ridiculed by a guest in the inn today, and he was in a bad mood. Relying on the support behind him, he continued to sarcastically: "What's wrong with saying that you are poor? Is that wrong? Aren't you just a poor ghost? Ah, still angry? What's wrong, want to hit someone? This is the city, and if you dare to do it, officers and soldiers will arrest you. Come on, do it, I'm definitely not hiding, come on...... Hmm" Before he could finish speaking, Triangle Eye was beaten by a mouth and swallowed the rest of the words.

It wasn't far away, and as soon as the soles of his feet kicked the ground, Ember Bing was in front of the triangular-eyed youth. Before it could react, a slap was slapped.

With Ember Bing's physique, which is comparable to the Xingyuan Realm, even if he deliberately retracts his strength, half of his face is swollen with his triangular eyes and his face is swollen from this slap, and his speech is a little unfavorable.

When did he suffer such a grievance? Even his father never beat him like that. But today, he was slapped in front of everyone by such a poor boy, and his face was lost.

The triangular-eyed youth immediately turned red and rushed towards Ember Ice with a fist.

There was only a snap, and then the sound of the cloth tearing and the blade of the knife coming out of its sheath.

Then, the triangular-eyed youth's anger quickly subsided, and fear permeated his heart. Because a long sword with cold light was against his eyebrows.

"Fifty slaps on your own mouth, or, death." Ember Ice said, trying his best to imitate the tone of the big guy in the dream. Although I only learned a little bit of the surface, it was more than enough to scare some market minions.

At the same time, the breath of the primordial realm escaped.

"Boy, do you know who I am? Tell you, grandpa's surname is Qian, and our county order is my father at the moment! Do you dare to kill me? Hey, hey! Boy, don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive! No, it's not, brother, brother, I'll get out, I'll get out right away, I'll get out. Just as he reported his name to scare off this poor ghost, the triangular eyes only felt a pain in his eyebrows, and he was afraid in his heart, so he immediately gave in softly.

Seeing that the triangular eyes were soft, and looking around at the crowd of people around him, Ember Ice knew that his goal had been achieved, so he put away his sword and turned to leave.

His aim was to get the word out through the crowd to attract the attention of the missionaries, and he had no intention of killing anyone. Although the actions of this triangular-eyed young man are really disgusting, it is better to scare him into leaving him a lesson, and it is not too much. Killing people in the county town, even if he is a cultivator, is quite troublesome to deal with. Unless he reveals the identity of the crown prince. Of course, he himself was not willing to kill. As for the county order, Ember Bing is really not worried. After his observation along the way, the life of the people in the city is quite nourishing. can govern a county to such a point, how can it be a person who does not know right from wrong? He only slightly intimidated the triangular-eyed youth, but he didn't really do anything, and he wouldn't embarrass him if he wanted to come to the county order.

Besides, it's a big deal to show your identity. Compared with the backstage, who has Ember Bing been afraid of in Shu Kingdom? Of course, if the identity is revealed, the missionary's eight achievements will run away, and the remaining two achievements will directly take all the believers to play with themselves. So it's better not to say anything about this identity.

Eating the rock sugar gourd that had just been sold on the street for two pennies, Ember Bing looked at the street scene as he walked towards the cheap inn on the outskirts of town. This is the first time he has been to the east of the country, and it is really a bit new.

"Mother, I also want to eat sugar gourds." A childish child's voice sounded. Ember Bing followed the sound and saw that the girl about the size of enlightenment was staring at the sugar gourd he had eaten only one in his hand, saliva on his lips, and his hands pulled his mother's arm and pleaded.

"What to eat? Have you forgotten that you had a toothache from eating candy last year? A lady who was not very old replied, because she was a little annoyed by her daughter's request, and she had a headache.

"But my dad said that as long as I finish eating and brushing my teeth, I won't have a toothache. Yu'er brushes her teeth every day now, a string, just a string, okay? The girl said coquettishly.

The woman had a headache, but she was helpless. Well, it's all my own men! Look at what you're used to with girls? Seeing that your daughter can't marry with black teeth in the future, you are not in a hurry.

Seeing that Ember Bing looked over, in desperation, the woman had no choice but to "lead the water to the east" and said, "You go and ask that brother where he bought the sugar gourd from, if my brother tells your mother, will I buy it for you?" As she spoke, the woman quietly winked at Ember and motioned for him not to tell her daughter.

Ember Bing smiled back, but couldn't help but sigh in his heart: This is the charm of the prosperous age. He had read the history books of the previous dynasty. If it was in the previous dynasty, the famous family would not say that it was a daughter, but a son would only work with the elders in the family. And now he sees the agility and confidence in the eyes of this little girl that only after reading books can he have.

Not to mention that a woman dares to take her daughter out into the street without her husband by her side.

In today's Shu State, officials at all levels have spared no effort to promote basic education in order to open up the wisdom of the people. Undoubtedly, this is also the handiwork of Ember Qianzhen. More than ten years ago, Ember Qianzhen implemented a decree to order schools in various places. The cost of the treasury is the big one, and the students are the big one. Therefore, as long as the family has spare money, people are generally willing to send their children to school. After all, civilians have a special respect and yearning for scholars. In addition, you can listen to the sages of the Master for only one tael of silver a year, why not?

At the beginning of the decree, some courtiers were worried that the opening of the people's wisdom would lead to turmoil in various places, and all kinds of good and bad ideas would be difficult to control; Some are worried that the expenditure will be too large and that it will be difficult for the treasury to balance its balance between revenue and expenditure. As a result, Ember Qianxian cut at least fifty percent of the expenses in the palace, although it was only a drop in the bucket, but it showed his resolute attitude towards running the school, and at the same time silenced the ministers.

After more than 10 years of proof, most of the people who are making trouble are now less than half, and the government at all levels has reported that the people's customs within their jurisdiction have been greatly changed, and it is much easier to govern. This is also because of the first implementation of the decree, and a large part of the population is still in a wait-and-see mode

As for income and expenditure, how can people who have stayed in the school be willing to live only in firewood, rice, oil and salt every day? As a result, official revenues have risen significantly relative to expenditures. In the final analysis, it is because the knowledge in the book stimulates people's desire to buy, which makes them work harder. Catching up with the era of light and meager endowments, even if the amount of labor is larger than in previous years, there are few complaints, and all of them are happy.

Read thousands of miles of books, travel thousands of miles. It wasn't until this moment that Ember Bing somewhat understood Ember Qianzhen's intention of letting him go to the Sword Pavilion alone and confiscating his silver. Born in the clouds, even if you look down on the world, you can't see anything. Only by going to that earthly world can we understand what some people think, and only then can we know what those people really need. There are some things that cannot be explained in books or from other people's mouths. Sometimes, a will can really decide the survival of a country and the fate and life of a people.

"Brother, brother, can you tell Yu'er, where did you buy your sugar gourd? The mother promised Yu'er to buy a bunch for Yu'er too. But Yu'er doesn't know where to buy it, can you tell me? I really want to eat it. ”

Pulled by the little girl's sleeve, looking at her longing look, Ember Bing smiled: "It's not far behind." “

"Really, really? Great, great! The little girl smiled.

The woman on the side was a little annoyed, but she didn't say anything.

"But the last string was bought by my brother. That old uncle must have closed the stall. Ember added. One sentence instantly made the emotions of the mother and son exchange. Disappointment crept up on the girl's delicate little face, and the gold beads were about to fall.

Looking at the aggrieved girl, Ember Bing's eyes smiled even more, and looked at the rock sugar gourd that he had eaten two in his hand and four left, he took down the one he had touched on the top, and then handed over the bamboo skewer in his hand.

"I'm crying like a little cat, so it's not cute. Oh, my brother gave it to you. ”

The girl looked at the sugar gourd in surprise, then looked up at the ember ice, and then looked back at her mother, until the woman nodded, and then she turned around and snatched the sugar gourd, and her little face, which had been cloudy just now, was now full of smiles. Swallow the whole hawthorn in one gulp and stuff your mouth full. Don't forget to look up and smile at Ember Bing.

The woman smiled at Ember Ice and gave a shallow salute. "I'm in trouble."

"It's okay, such a cute little girl, who wouldn't like it?" Laughing and waving his hand, Ember turned sideways, only receiving the woman's half-salute. Stretched out his hand and pinched the girl's bulging little face supported by hawthorn, and quietly output a wisp of true yuan, transforming the little girl's teeth.

Although there is no guarantee that the little girl will not suffer from dental disease for the rest of her life, her parents should not have to worry about this problem in the next ten years.

After saying goodbye, Ember Ice continued to walk towards the inn. Along the way, watching the Mengtong children who got out of school early laughing and playing, Ember Bing's mood was surprisingly good, and a smile was inadvertently put on his face.

I heard my master Li Qingyun say that the immortals of 3,000 years ago could turn over the river and the sea with a wave of their hands, and I also knew that my father's full strength could make the stars and the moon turn upside down. Maybe he won't be able to reach that height in his life, but at least, he doesn't have too much rejection of being a human emperor now. I don't know that from that moment on, being an emperor is no longer just a simple deal of intrigue for him, he suddenly wants to do something for this country and the people of this country like his father Ember Qianzhen.

For some reason, he began to lose some of his life after spending more than ten years in disguise and coping. It's clearer to see what happened over the past year. Drinking and hunting with friends on the rivers and lakes to exterminate bandits; Practicing on the mountain, fetching water, sweeping the mountain gate, practicing with the same door, master, oh, and those days when I was forced to learn to cook by an unscrupulous middle-aged man on the mountain.

And now this girl's smile, he didn't like to deal with others, but he remembered this smile very clearly.

"The book says that if you want to see the world, you want to see the world, you want your own experience, and it is impossible to experience the joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness of others just by looking at it. This world is very real, there are corrupt officials, bandits, robbers, and big dogs who are not benevolent to the rich, but there are also friends, teachers, soldiers who are enthusiastic about the ancient road, and lovely girls.

Now I can understand why the immortals were willing to give their lives for this world when the Ming invaded three thousand years ago. They are not for this side of the world, but for the people who make it up. Maybe it's for the parents, maybe it's for the grandchildren, maybe it's for one person, maybe it's for everyone. From that point of view, the appearance of the Ming clan is indeed a bit of an eyesore. Hey, then you can kill one, just kill one. “
