Chapter 226: Greeting
Chapter 226: Greeting
Chasing Feng and Huo Quan arrived at Zhenjiang Mansion in Jiangnan Province first, and began to rectify the six gates of Jiangnan Province.
Jiangnan is the most prosperous area in the world, and in the same way, when it is an errand here, the oil and water are also the most abundant.
The two gods of Chasing Wind and Huo Quan are naturally the most aware of the Tao of it, and they just turn a blind eye to this. But the two of them dare not guarantee that after Yang Pan arrives, he will be so laissez-faire.
Therefore, the two of them rushed here first, and began to rectify the six doors, the water is clear, there are no fish, even if it is six doors, in a place like Jiangnan, if you stay for a long time, you will unconsciously make some oil and water.
This is not something that the existing system can stop, it is a normal choice of human nature.
Chasing Feng and Huo Quan are both smart people, they understand that Yang Pan is giving them time by taking the carriage and hurrying slowly, and at the same time, he is also giving the entire Jiangnan time.
What is certain is that if this time is not used perfectly, as soon as Yang Pan arrives in Jiangnan, I am afraid that there will be a bloody wind.
The prosperity of Jiangnan will inevitably be hit.
Yang Pan can forcefully raise the butcher's knife on the border side, and he will not hesitate to kill more than 100,000 people to rip off the tumor of smuggling in the frontier. That's because the frontier is related to national security and the safety of the lives and property of hundreds of millions of people.
No matter how big the price is, Yang Pan also has the courage to do it.
Is he afraid of killing people? Maybe another person, with Yang Pan's courage, would not dare to slaughter the knife like Yang Pan. More than 100,000 people, not everyone has such a psychological quality, and they dare to kill so many people without changing their faces, and the interests involved in this and the transactions between various forces are simply innumerable.
But Yang Pan dared to do this, because killing was a kind of cultivation for him!
In the same way, he is not afraid of the relationship between them, whoever dares to jump out, he dares to kill whomever he wants.
Because of this incident, there are no less than a thousand families that have been destroyed!
There are many official eunuch families, and there are not a few Jianghu families.
Anyway, Shanxi Province and other frontier provinces, the related interest chains were killed by Yang Pan. Now a few are still in vain, the economy has been hit hard, and business has come to a standstill.
However, fortunately, the Great Zhou Dynasty is a feudal dynasty, mainly based on agriculture, as long as agriculture is stable, commerce or something, whether there is or not, it is not a big problem.
This is different in Jiangnan, where commerce is the mainstay, supplemented by agriculture.

Two months later, Yang Pan's carriage officially entered the Jiangnan territory, in fact, Yang Pan's carriage had already changed three times, after all, along the way, there was no way to cross the river and the carriage.
Yang Pan's whereabouts are not a secret, as long as you have the heart to inquire, well, in fact, you don't need to deliberately inquire, as long as you pay attention to it, it is easy to get the news.
After three months of rectification, Jiangnan has a new look.
After Yang Pan entered Jiangnan, he once again gave up the carriage and took a boat instead.
This time, you can take a boat directly to Zhenjiang Mansion.
Touring the mountains and rivers along the way is a rare relaxation for Yangpan.
After all, before that, Yang Pan had only opened a killing spree in order to punish the immortal sword.
At this time, proper relaxation is also a rare relaxation for Yang Pan's state of mind.
One piece and one relaxation, the way of civil and military affairs.
On the boat, Yang Xin stood at the bow of the boat, the boatman was at the helm at the stern, and there were only Yang Pan and Shangguan Chenxi in the middle cabin.
There was a pleasant sound of the piano in the cabin, and Yang Pan sat on the side and listened to the piano with his eyes closed, while drinking two glasses.
After a while, a tune ended.
Shangguan Chenxi stopped and asked, "Young Master, what else do you want to hear?"
"Don't listen, come and have a drink with me, and talk by the way. Yang Pan waved his hand and said.
Shangguan Chenxi got up, walked to Yang Pan and sat down, picked up the wine jug, and poured wine for Yang Pan.
"Young master, what you have seen and heard along the way is indeed completely different from the scene that the concubine saw in Jiangnan before. It seems that your prestige, young master, is really useful. Shangguan Chenxi said with a chuckle.
"Oh, is it? It's all superficial, it's the same whether you look at it or not. Young Master Ben is too lazy to care about the grievances of the rivers and lakes and the things of the rich family. When I came to Jiangnan, my main focus was on public order and the survival of the people. Yang Pan opened his mouth and sighed.
"The young master is really a good official who cares about the suffering of the people. Shangguan Chenxi said adoringly and lovingly, she herself was born as an official eunuch, but her family was in the middle. Even so, she still admires those famous ministers and good officials who are famous and well-known in the world. Maybe that's where the family comes from.
"It's just a matter of taking his place. Yang Pan said honestly, he is a child of a family, and he has never experienced the hardships of the people since he was a child, and the same is true in his previous life.
ββββββββββββοΌββ
I've never eaten pork, but I've always seen pigs run, right?
Yang Pan only debuted before, and when he was a small catcher, he did see a lot of oppressed ordinary people. At that time, he did not have the ability or responsibility to help.
But now that he has ascended to a high position, whether it is for his own power or to accumulate merit, there are some things that must be done.
To put it bluntly, it's still a matter of the ass deciding the head.
Yang Pan will soar sooner or later, but people exist in the world, and they must always leave something.
Since he has achieved the position of the deputy general manager of the six doors, Yang Pan naturally wants to leave his mark for future generations.
To do things in the imperial court, there must always be a major premise of political correctness.
Yang Pan took the people first and the hundred officials second as a major premise of political correctness, and everything was done around this central point.
No matter what the starting point of Yang Pan is, now Yang Pan is indeed sincerely working for the well-being of the people.
The current Great Zhou is at its peak, and a group of famous ministers who fought with Zhou Taizu to guard the country are still active in the court.
Moreover, Emperor Taizong of Zhou was also a famous monarch, how could Emperor Taizong not see that what Yang Pan did was conducive to his rule? Therefore, for Yang Pan, a vassal who was destined to soar and would not threaten his throne, he fully supported it.
In the face of Yang Pan's politically correct position, even if Yang Pan does things too much, the voices above the court are generally mostly supportive.
At least among the scholars, Yang Pan's reputation is not as terrible as in the martial arts.
Of course, Yang Pan is also the reason for the time now, if this is in the middle and late dynasties, Yang Pan's behavior may cause criticism from Shilin, and his reputation is certain.

"Young Master, where are you going to start investigating? The Jiangnan region was originally the territory of the six major factions in the Central Plains, and the Demon Gate had very few strongholds here, and no masters were sent over. Shangguan Chenxi asked.
"The Demon Gate is not the focus of my visit to Jiangnan this time, the six major factions in the Central Plains have long been closed, all the forces have shrunk back, and only some influence remains, since they are so knowledgeable, why should I take the initiative to provoke them? This will make it seem that I can't be a man." Therefore, during this inspection, I put the Jiangnan area last, and at the same time left three months for these families and gangs in Jiangnan. Next, it's a matter of hitting a dozen flies, looking for any uninteresting tigers, and then going through the motions, and the team is closed. Yang Pan shrugged his shoulders and said, "If this kind of severe crackdown continues, even if I can stand it, the rest of the Six Doors will be under great pressure." β
Yang Pan also understands that this kind of strike hard is a palliative rather than a cure, but as long as he is still in power, I believe there will not be much backlash, and as for the ascension, it will not be within Yang Pan's purview.
Isn't it realistic?
Actually, that's the reality.
Yang Pan's cultivation techniques, whether it is "Blood Nerve" or "Zhuxian Sword Technique", are all killing exercises, and Yang Pan, who cultivates them, will inevitably be affected by the Killing Dao, and become cold and ruthless, and decisive in killing.
However, Yang Pan deeply understands that it is not his nature to be cold and ruthless, and if he is influenced by the exercises and becomes a ruthless and desireless person, then this means that he will not be able to join the Tao in the future.
Because none of our natures can sustain ourselves, we will inevitably fail.
How to control one's nature remains unchanged is the focus of Yang Pan's cultivation or that of all cultivators.
No one's spiritual experience is exactly the same, just as no one's personality is exactly the same.
So, in the end, it depends on the individual.
Yang Pan's choice is to contact the Dao of Sainthood, which is the opposite of the Dao of Killing, and at the same time fight against the coldness and ruthlessness brought by the Dao of Killing with a kind heart that has the world in mind.
This is the answer that Yang Pan got from his travels in the Datang world.
Because there is a blood god doppelganger who is the emperor, Yang Pan can better understand the emperor's lofty and hearty world, and his feelings turn to the depths of the ruthless changes.
As a wise man, he can't have family, love, and friendship.
Only by giving up the small love in the world can we have the great love of the people in the world.
Ze was born by the common people, and the saint came to the world.
Although Yang Guang was eloquent and strategic, he was not a qualified emperor.
For the people under his rule are actually not doing well.

As soon as he landed ashore, Yang Pan walked out of the dock and saw a team of people not far away carrying eight large sedan chairs, waiting in front.
The person standing in the middle of the front was wearing a five-grade official uniform, which was too conspicuous.
Yang Pan rolled his eyes, but still greeted him.
"Xu Yingqiu, the prefect of Xiaguan Zhenjiang, has seen Mr. Yang. "Xu Yingqiu has not seen Yang Pan himself, but he has seen Yang Pan's portrait. Yang Pan's temperament is so special, it's hard not to pay attention.
"There's no need to be polite, the official is not wearing an official uniform, so there is no need to be so formal. Yang Pan raised his hand and said, he didn't blame the other party, after all, this is the rule of officialdom to welcome and send off, and it is also a courtesy.
"Your Excellency, please get on the sedan chair, and the lower official will send you to the prepared mansion to rest. Freshen up, and the lower officials will pick up the wind and wash the dust for you at night. Xu Yingqiu greeted politely.
"You're welcome, the official will live in the six-door yamen, and the other mansions won't have to bother. After Yang Pan finished speaking, he got into the sedan chair.
Shangguan Chenxi also followed the sedan chair, and such eight sedan chairs were more than enough for three people.
Yang Xin followed next to the sedan chair, he was not stupid, Shangguan Chenxi was a personal maid and naturally had the privilege of getting on the sedan chair, but he didn't have such a privilege.
In addition to Xu Yingqiu, several big people with heads and faces in Zhenjiang Mansion also arrived at the scene.
"Get up in the sedan chair and go back to the official mansion. Xu Yingqiu commanded loudly, and after that, he walked into an official sedan chair carried by four people in the back. Others sat in the corresponding two-person sedan chair.
"Get up the sedan chairβ" A song was sung, and the team began to turn and move forward.
There are officials in front of them holding signs, and there are officers and soldiers guarding them in the back, and the pomp is not small.
The merchants and people along the way all consciously gave way to the sidelines and were talking to each other.
A well-informed local said ostentatiously, "Do you know who is sitting in the sedan chair in front of you?"
"What person?" asked some of the surrounding merchants and pedestrians curiously.
"This one is amazing, the new vice president of the six doors catches the head, you should always know, right?"
"You mean the tenth celestial in the world, Lord Yang of the Divine Sword?"
"Could it be this lord who came?"
"Hey, who else but this one can make so many big people greet each other?"
ββββββββββββ
The six-door yamen and the prefect's yamen are next to each other, but they are separated by a small alley.
Yang Pan entered the six doors of the yamen, and Huo Quan greeted him alone in the lobby.
"Sit down and talk, we don't have to be so polite to each other. Yang Pan said first, and then entered the lobby and sat in the first place.
Huo Quan smiled, sat in the first position on the left-hand side, and said, "How about it, big scene, right?"
"It's a big scene, I've seen it before. But I still don't like it, you know me, and I didn't bring the people from Six Doors to join in the fun. Yang Pan waved his hand and replied.
"I knew you didn't like these jobs and socializing. Huo Quan laughed and said, he likes to get along with Yang Pan, because he is very real and not pretentious. In officialdom, sometimes you have to act on the spot, it's difficult!
"Help me push off all those entertainments, I don't bother to deal with them. Anyway, when I want them to do something, whoever dares to disobey the yang and the yin, I will kill them. "Yang Pan should not pay them, even if they are dissatisfied, they dare not show it, and when it is time to do something, no one dares to delay.
This is a lesson from the past, and the officials who dared to disobey Yang Panyang were all killed.
Yang Pan can really be said to have no taboos, acting arrogantly and autocraticly. What he has to do, he tells him to go on, work hard, and if he does something wrong, it will be nothing. On the contrary, Yang Pan still appreciates such an attitude. To do things, attitude is very important, do things seriously, even if you fail, Yang Pan will not blame.
But if you don't even give this attitude, you will promise to be happy on the surface, but you will disobey the yang behind your back. Faced with this situation, Yang Pan didn't bother to talk nonsense with you, and directly killed the people below to come up and continue to do things.
It's so capricious, it's just so simple.
This is the act of the celestial beings who have broken free from the shackles of the world, who are beyond the world, and look down on the world.
If you treat them with a worldly eye, you will only suffer from other people in the end.
