Wu Sichen clapped his hands and smiled: "This is a good idea, if Luo Ling's envoy runs for election, she will definitely be the saint." ”

Luo Yongyan scolded with a smile: "You juniors, make fun of me, an old woman, Jiaoru girl doesn't want to run, let's Si Chen and Qi'er." ”

Wu Sichen and Luo Qi were the helpers sent by the Mirage Dragon King to Luo Yongyan, so naturally they didn't dare to disobey. Tong Jiaoru also breathed a sigh of relief, saying that she was excellent at killing the enemy, and it was really difficult for her to participate in the election of a saint.

The two Venerable Masters of the Golden Dome and the Dome have preached in the Heavenly Realm for many years, and their disciples are all over the heavens, and they have become the most prominent sects after the Western Sect, the Shura Sect, and the Yaksha Sect. Now that the two masters of the Golden Dome and the Dome have passed away one after another, the strength of the Golden Crow Sect is scattered, and there is a lack of leaders who are expected to return. The new Wenli has sprung up, and has been successful in the Rakshasa country, just like the bull's ear of the Golden Crow Sect.

The Rakshasa Emperor was quite jealous of the Golden Crow Sect, and he imprisoned the goshawk and exiled the New Wenli, which dealt a great blow to the Golden Crow Sect. This incident is related to the life and death of the Golden Crow Sect, Wei Zhenyi has been coordinating the overall situation and has been gathering momentum for a long time, and the United Mirage Society is just one of the links.

Mianhe's enthusiasm for holding the election of the Holy Maiden can be described as a rare event in the Rakshasa Sea City, and the deep meaning is intriguing.

If you want to participate in the general election, there are naturally some eligibility restrictions, this is the Holy Maiden of Haishi, which requires candidates to have Haishi nationality or live for more than ten years. Not everyone can participate. Other conditions are secondary. Eligibility for candidacy is strictly reviewed by the Governor's Office, and disqualification is immediately disqualified if there are any signs of fraud, but this is not a problem for sects such as the Golden Crow. These sects are already wide-ranging, and there is no shortage of locals, so they only need to be impersonated. As for the difference in appearance, you can use methods such as disguise or alchemy change, even if there is a portrait in the Governor's Palace, it is impossible to avoid some contrast with myself.

Several people went ashore, and all the women were veiled like Luo Yongyan, so as not to be too ostentatious. Rakshasa Haishi is adjacent to the bitter sea, the business and travel are prosperous, the atmosphere is open, the miscellaneous toilets of the three religions and eight ethnic groups are different, and it is common to do it on the street.

At this time, it was already dusk, and several people entered the city, and under the guidance of Luo Yongyan, they arrived at a dilapidated house.

Luo Yongyan explained: "Most of the people in this area are workers, and their lives are poor. There are a lot of disciples in this sect, and the Rakshasa court forbade us to preach, destroyed our altars, and arrested many of our brothers, but the climate has become a reality, and the court is doing such perverse behavior, just to drive fish for the abyss. ”

The contrast between this residential area and the opulent and bustling city of Haishi is full of dilapidated houses and dusty residents. In ancient times, it was said that the four people, the peasants and the industrialists, the peasants and the workers were the producers, and the scholars and merchants were the distributors, but the means were different, although it could not be said that they got something for nothing, and the oppression of the workers and peasants was too much. Scholars have a little ideal, often want to emphasize agriculture and suppress business, Chao erroneously argued that the reality at that time, the court valued peasants, peasants were poor, light merchants, merchants were rich, and the imperial court's decrees and social reality were just the opposite. This is also determined by the nature of agriculture and commerce. Scholars and merchants were engaged in distribution, so they inevitably filled their pockets and occupied the upper class. But throughout the ages, how many dynasties have risen and fallen, although these four occupations are more detailed, they are generally inseparable from production and distribution. Without major innovations in the mode of production, the wealth created by people will not increase or decrease dramatically. Therefore, the issue of distribution is particularly important.

Confucius said, 'Those who have a country and a family do not suffer from widowhood but inequality, and do not suffer from poverty but suffer from anxiety'. The disparity between the rich and the poor is too great, and it is often full of crises. 'Zhumen wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road'. Wasn't the crisis of the Kaiyuan era buried earlier than this time?

It is inevitable that there will always be rich and poor people. Confucianism has always had the ideal of equalizing the rich and the poor, and the means are the well field system, thinking that the land is equal to the rich and the poor, and the merchants themselves do not create wealth. The decline and fall of ancient dynasties is often the breeding of population, unable to make a living, the so-called 'no idle land in the four seas, farmers are still starving to death', one is that the superior people have gathered too much, and the other is that the wealth of the land after the population surge can not feed more people. Coupled with natural and man-made disasters, the poor went bankrupt and became robbers.

'People take food as the sky', and diet is a physiological need, which cannot be replaced by material and spiritual. High-rise buildings, BMW incense cars, if you don't eat, you will be hungry, Shouyang picks roses, eats and drinks, no matter how benevolent and virtuous people enjoy themselves, they still can't help but starve to death.

In the later generations, Taixi Instrumental Technique sprung up, swept the world, and the transportation was convenient, and there was a family from all over the world. Agricultural production is also indispensable, although it does not have to be confined to the country. In the fairy world, there are continents with prosperous commerce and poor states, but they are just foreign countries, and they don't seem to have the responsibility to help both. In fact, as distributors, scholars and merchants do not create wealth themselves, and every drink and peck is produced by workers and peasants.

The fairy world is a country, but it is currently one of the ancient counties, even if the mountains and seas are limited, the language is not understood, and there are business trips within the reach of boats and cars. The Shura people are known as wealthy, but they are just warmongers, who started by exploiting the colonies.

It is the principle of nature that the first thing to do is to control the population. With too many people, competition is bound to be fierce, and it is difficult to make a living. Even if the land cannot be fed, there is no other way to abandon war. In ancient times, it was not easy to give birth, and people did not feel the need to control their births.

The so-called rich and poor are mostly producers such as farmers and workers, and the rich are mostly distributors such as scholars and merchants. The way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency when there is more than is lost. The equality of the rich and the poor does not completely eliminate the gap between the rich and the poor, but only through the system of etiquette and law, the scholars and the merchant class are not too greedy.

Not only in the middle of Xia, most of the large countries in history were scholars organized governments, and only a few small countries with special geographical locations and prosperous business travel would have merchant governments, because merchants themselves did not create wealth, even if they did not oppress their own workers and peasants, they must have their own targets.

The nature of the scholars was very complex, including scribes and samurai. Divided by Taoism, there are Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism or other sects.

No matter what kind of scholars are in power, it is difficult to achieve fairness and justice, even if the heavenly court and the earthly government, known as the wise and true gods, there are still demon monkeys who are guilty of rebellion. It is forbidden to use the world's ways to deny obscurity and blame the ancients.

Luo Yongyan took the four of them to stop outside a dilapidated courtyard, raised his hand and knocked on the door, three long and one short, very rhythmic. Ming Qin knew that this was a contact signal from the Golden Crow Sect, and the Mirage Society had a similar cut, and many things in this kind of group could not see the light of day, so they had to be cautious.

After a while, an old man wearing a melon skin hat opened the wooden door and looked at Luo Yongyan with a puzzled look in his eyes.

Luo Yongyan lifted the corner of his cloak and said in a low voice, "Go in and talk." ”

The old man's face showed a sudden expression, and he hurriedly stepped aside, "Please." ”

Everyone followed the old man into the house, Luo Yongyan took off his cloak and asked, "Old Chen, is Sister Jiang back?"

The old man's name is Chen Xinian, and he is the backbone of the Golden Crow Sect, although he is more than half a hundred years old and wrinkled, he is a member of Yu Yuan, and his status is not low. Yu Yuan is a confidential organization of the Jinwu Sect and is under the direct command of Wei Zhenyi. Although Luo Yongyan is the envoy of the Golden Arrow, he has no right to ask about Yu Yuan's affairs.

Sister Jiang's name is Jiang Fang, and she is also from Yu Yuan, and she works in the Governor's Palace, which is crucial to this operation.

"Sister Jiang has already informed the envoy's decision, and she asked the envoy to take the two girls to the governor's mansion first, and she will try to contact you. This is the Wen Xian given to me by Sister Jiang. ”

Chen Xinian said and took out a few documents from his arms, which were the vouchers for entering and leaving the Governor's Palace, which were stamped with the official seal of the Governor Mianhe, which was very important.

Luo Yongyan took the Wen test and nodded slightly, she also knew that the temporary change would disrupt the original deployment, but this time the Holy Maiden election was extremely strict, the Golden Crow Sect originally selected more than ten disciples to enter the preliminary selection, and in the end, only two barely passed, if they could not enter the final election, they would lose the opportunity to get close to the sleeping crane. The Governor's Palace is heavily guarded, and if you don't know where the sleeping crane is hiding, you can't control the situation at all.

"How's your preparation?"

Chen Xinian is a newly established liaison base here, he is responsible for organizing the response, whether or not he can kill the sleeping crane, the Governor's Mansion will inevitably be in chaos, and they must go out to occupy the Governor's Mansion as soon as possible and control Haishi City.

Chen Xinian said confidently: "Let the envoy rest assured." We're already organizing people, and we're sure we're not going to make a mistake. I summoned some of the leaders to the meeting to see if the envoy would meet them. ”

"No need. I still have important things to do, so I won't delay much. ”

Luo Yongyan said with a solemn face: "Now is an extraordinary time, you must be careful everywhere, and you can't show the slightest rumor." ”

"I understand. ”

Chen Xinian's appearance is not amazing, this is also his advantage, he is inconspicuous in the crowd, and it will not arouse suspicion.

While speaking, there was a knock on the door again, and several people immediately became vigilant, Chen Xinian listened attentively, "It's our people, I'll open the door." ”

"Wait. We went over the wall. ”

Luo Yongyan was reluctant to meet with the visitor, although they were all members of the Golden Crow Sect, and their tasks were different, so there was no need to contact each other, so as not to cause trouble.

"It's fine. ”

Chen Xinian saw that Luo Yongyan was so cautious, and he didn't dare to say anything. Luo Yongyan led people to infiltrate the Governor's Palace, waiting for an opportunity to assassinate Mianhe, this is the highlight of this battle, although they have a lot of manpower, but they are on the periphery to respond, it is already the next step.

Luo Yongyan and several people are all masters of Taoism, and their light body skills are quite clever, leaving Chen Xinian's old house, their steps are hurried, and they go straight to the governor's mansion.

The Governor's Mansion is still the old official residence of the Goshawk, the Mirage King was the goshawk's right-hand man, and Luo Qi is the general of the Mirage Society, so he is no stranger to the Governor's Palace. However, the interests of the sleeping crane and the goshawk are very different, and after he moved in, the garden pool pavilion was quite rebuilt, which was not the old pattern.

Although the election was held at the Governor's Palace, the venue was not held at the Governor's Palace, but in the Plum Garden, which is adjacent to the Governor's Palace. The owner of the plum garden is called Mei Fangxin, and she is an oiran with the same name as Gu Pan. It is said that Mei Fangxin has the grace of knowing Mianhe, and when Mianhe was down, she funded him to study and study, and helped him introduce high-ranking officials and dignitaries, so that Mianhe can have today's status. Mianhe Guixian did not forget his old feelings and proposed to Mei Fangxin many times, but Mei Fangxin did not agree.

Mianhe also bought an old garden near the governor's palace and repaired it for Mei Fangxin to live in, which is the current plum garden. Some people say that Mianhe held the election of the saint to promote Mei Fangxin to the position of the saint, but Mei Fangxin and Gu Pan are the same age, and there is an age limit for running for the saint, and Mei Fangxin does not meet.

Mianhe set the election venue in the plum garden, and Mei Fangxin is the owner of the plum garden, which can be regarded as making a name for her.

When several people came to the Governor's Palace, they learned that the venue for the final election was set in the Plum Garden, and the Governor's Mansion was guarded by Rakshasa soldiers, and they were not allowed to enter even if they had a literary examination. The plum garden is on the back of the governor's palace, I don't know if there is a passage in the house, and if you want to go to the plum garden, you can only go around the street, but it is a little far away.

"Let's go, go to the plum garden. ”

Luo Yongyan is an old person in Haishi, she heard Mei Fangxin's reputation when she was a teenager, and she has traveled south and north over the years, passing through Rakshasa Haishi many times, but she has not entered the door, and she has heard this familiar character, and she has a sense of life and past.

"This Mei Fangxin and your Mrs. Gu are the same lotus, the same name, and the color and art are unique. However, today's reputation is far worse than that of Mrs. Gu. ”

After Gu Pan married the Mirage King, she lived in a simple place, and the Mirage Society was a famous gang in Rakshasa Sea City, so naturally no one dared to beat her idea, and over time, she was almost forgotten by the world. This may be Mei Fangxin's cleverness, not only did she personally fund a governor, but she traveled all over the years, befriended powerful people, and became famous, and everyone competed to see her brilliance.

Ming Qin has seen Gu Pan, although his appearance and posture have not deteriorated, compared with Luo Qi and Wu Sichen, these young girls, they are not much inferior. However, in the environment of the Mirage Society, it is rare to look up to the Mirage Dragon King's snort, tremble, force his face to laugh, and not become insidious and vicious.

It can be seen that the color of the appearance is only one end, the gold is not red, the person is not perfect, the beauty of the celebrities through the ages may not be impeccable in appearance, the key is that its special circumstances make people fascinated and irreplaceable. The story makes the characters fuller, and if you live in the world, if you don't see anything, even if you are full of talent, you are just a mediocre self-pity.

Several people detoured to the plum garden, only to see the traffic outside the garden, bustling endlessly. There are also Rakshasa soldiers at the gate of the garden to check the Wenxian, and several people lined up for a long time, and finally came to the door, fortunately, the inspection of the Wenxian was very smooth, and the Rakshasa soldiers let them enter with a wave of their big hand.

Mei Fangxin was originally a stage name, and she took Mei as her surname because of her love for plum blossoms. The plum blossoms of this plum garden can be called a must, plum trees are planted all over the lake, it is late winter, but the plum blossoms are full of fresh and beautiful, Ling Han does not wither.

The guests in the park gathered, most of them were dignitaries and nobles in the sea market, celebrities and rich gentry. The Governor's Palace held the election of the Holy Maiden, and it was rare to get a vote, and it was difficult to get a vote, and being able to enter the Plum Garden to observe the competition itself showed its value and status.

The stage was set up in the Lake Center Pavilion, on which a drama was being staged. Mei Fangxin can sing and dance, and later devoted herself to learning opera, visiting famous teachers all over the world, and Mianhe is also good at this, and the two often paint their eyebrows and sideburns on stage in person, which is no longer news.

There are many Rakshasa soldiers with weapons in the park patrolling and guarding, and there is a mixed stream of goods here, and they have done a lot of work for the safety of the venue. Besides, the Governor Mianhe came in person, and there could be no mistake in the slightest.
