Chapter 186: Ge Hong Weijie Returns!
"Get out! Get out of here!" A rough curse sounded in the room, followed by the sound of tables, chairs, pots and pans shattering!
When the government heard that the county keeper was so furious, he had already fled far away.
According to the usual practice, as long as he serves this Lord Yushi well and does what he likes, the rest of the matter will be handed over to him. But this Shanyuan has eaten food, received gifts, and played with the bitches of Yiqing Academy, but he still has to ask about the rest of the things, and he will do it himself.
"This person is soft and hard! It seems that he has endless energy, those bitches in Yiqing Yuan are really useless, and he still can't praise him when he goes to so many people! He is still alive and well, delaying the major affairs of the official, and this time he will go to dismantle their shop!" Liu Wei has already scolded Shanyuan's ancestors thousands of times in his heart.
Liu Wei was almost going crazy! When Shanyuan issued all the decrees of the imperial court, he was already dumbfounded, and the money he recovered was only afraid that he would have to be returned. It turned out to be this only son, and the court was not allowed to participate in the draft at all. For this reason, he had already frightened the big families in the city, and took the opportunity to loot countless gold and silver, and now he was afraid that all of them would be sent back!
Those poor families, children are not good at all, especially in this era of lack of food and clothing, not only is there one less mouth in the family, maybe they will have a better career in the future after entering the palace. Therefore, there is no oil and water to be scavenged from these poor homes.
He could only pin his hopes on these beautiful girls! But among the hundreds of girls recommended by the big families he took the opportunity to blackmail, this imperial envoy actually took a close look at only a few of them. The man somewhere took out a strange jar. All boys and girls must touch this jar, if there is no color change, no matter how beautiful the show girl is. were all eliminated by him.
In the end, among the more than 100 boys and girls, only one was a 12-year-old child and a 16-year-old girl, and the jar had a faint color change. It took more than ten days and painstaking efforts to select such a large Pingyang County, and only two men and women were selected. Naturally, it can't be justified. The gap from the hard indicators is still very large, because this envoy has to take from the remaining show girls. Nine more women with good looks and morals were selected to reach the minimum quota of 10 show girls in each county.
In this way, this huge county has a population of more than 100,000. It turned out that only one boy and 10 girls were chosen. When did Liu Wei's long-planned good things become a bubble, and the property that had been looted had to be returned. Such a rare opportunity to make money disappeared like this, and he couldn't jump like thunder!
If this envoy had arrived in Pingyang City and told all the things that needed attention, he would not have been so caught off guard and suffered so many losses. I thought that this person was very easy to handle, and he should have been in his hands by bribery. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be the last to take out this emperor's edict, and he was beaten like this. Hunting geese all day long, he was finally pecked and blinded by geese.
This Liu Wei was naturally very angry! I couldn't imagine that after decades of dominating the officialdom, he would be overshadowed by a yellow-haired boy! However, this person was the emperor's envoy, so what could he do? In the end, he had to send him off with a smile!
Although Shanyuan had made a fool of Liu Wei, he knew that if he wanted to remove him from his post and investigate him like this, he was afraid that this evidence would still be far from enough! Moreover, even if he was to take down a corrupt official like him, what could he do, and the whole country would only be afraid that there would be a lot of officials like Liu Wei. Along the way, he has already seen all kinds of corrupt officials and corrupt officials.
At this time, Shanyuan finally understood what it meant to "the government decree does not leave Luoyang City!" These local county guards are like the emperor of the soil. One set in front of you, one set behind your back. The imperial court has long strictly forbidden extravagance and waste, and the emperor and empress are all taking the lead in simple clothes, and this Liu Wei is so openly eating and drinking.
Lin Yi listened to this Shanyuan's indignant report with a blank face, he had already expected this to happen. Such officials are only afraid that the world is everywhere, and this Liu Wei is only afraid that it is better to be good, after all, he is just taking the opportunity to collect money and extort the rich in the city, not like Shi Chong, who openly pretends to be a robber to rob the rich and rob, which is more hateful than a robber.
I'm afraid that all of this has something to do with today's "nine-product zhongzheng system", these officials are all from those scholars, but the really talented people don't get the opportunity to do real work. In the Great Jin Dynasty, from top to bottom, from a high position like the third duke, to a position that cannot be called an official position like the lieutenant chief, the vast majority of them are crowded with the children of these scholars, they are of the same clan, they marry each other, and the officials protect each other.
Lin Yi naturally had already seen such a problem, but he knew that even if there was a good reason, he could only take action against a few children of those scholars, and if he completely took action against all the children of these scholars and shook the foundation of their rule, he was afraid that the entire country would collapse.
It was with the support of these big clans in the north that the Sima clan was able to ascend the throne as emperor, and the Sima clan was just the spokesperson of these scholars! No matter what, he couldn't cut off his own foundation, even if Lin Yi had the determination to break his wrist, I was afraid that his uncles and uncles would never allow him to do such a brutal thing!
"The Jin Dynasty is the Xingye Shi clan, and it is also the Shi clan who died. Lin Yi hopes that under his leadership, this status quo can be changed in this time and space!
A few days later, the Shandi and others sent by Lin Yi also returned, and in just one month, all the eleven counties in Sizhou were drafted. It seems that this speed is faster than Lin Yi imagined.
This result alone made Lin Yi very disappointed, but it was also in his expectation, how could these children with special qualifications be as common as cabbage! These qualified teenagers are just eight people, and these teenagers are all bright-eyed and bright-toothed, with faces like crowned jade, heroic and jade, and clear eyebrows, and suddenly the house is full of jade. It seems that these magistrates are based on their appearance as the first criterion, and there must be remnants in the countryside and mountain villages. But Lin Yi didn't care about these, among the thousands of carefully selected teenagers. Tight is a very small number of people eligible, and it seems that this probability is very rare! Such a low chance, no matter what method is used. I'm afraid I won't be able to find many people coming out.
These are the children of poor families, and the sons of rich people are naturally reluctant to be sent to the palace. "Except for a few lucky people who can be selected as the prince's companion as an accompaniment, I am afraid that most of them will become eunuchs. "This is the impression of Xiu Nan among the people.
Therefore, those families who have only children of school-age who meet the requirements, even if they are bankrupt, must find ways to redeem their children from the government no matter what. Of course. Lin Yi had already expected this, so he had already banned it as the only son in all the families. It is possible not to draft the draft.
Lin Yi only realized at this time that there was nothing that was so rare not only for the disciples of the five great sword cultivation families, but also for other cultivation sects, why they did not choose such men and women with higher cultivation qualifications from the people. In addition to being hindered by the prejudice of the door. These cultivators are the same as the secular scholars today. There is no more regard for the lineage of blood, and perhaps these traditions in the world are derived from this. There is also the scarcity of this cultivation resources, and with the same cultivation resources, they naturally give priority to cultivating their direct descendants!
The main reason for this is that there are too few children in this world who are born with this cultivation qualification. Thinking that Lin Yi spent such a price, with the strength of the country, in the most developed area of the Great Jin Dynasty, among the nearly 100,000 eligible children in the eleven counties in the entire Sizhou. There are only a few of them, and those cultivators naturally understand that the chances of this are extremely small. If this is the case, it is like hitting a big luck, and naturally I don't want to bother with it!
However, even if he only found these teenagers, Lin Yi was like a treasure and carefully cultivated, in addition to specially arranging for the master to teach cultural knowledge, he also specially invited Mrs. Bai Gu and Yao Da to tell them how to guide, hoping that they would have already been able to break through to the realm of refining themselves and building a foundation.
Although these children have superior qualifications, they only rely on absorbing this thin heaven and earth aura, and without the accumulation of countless cultivation resources, I am afraid that it will be difficult to break through to the realm of self-refining and foundation building.
Lin Yi went to another garden courtyard again. The courtyard is full of girls playing in twos and threes, not bursts of cheerful voices, this courtyard is surrounded by a group of warblers and swallows, as if falling into the gentle countryside, into the daughter's country.
Lin Yi was in a pavilion, and the people in the courtyard couldn't see him, but he could see anyone in the courtyard. This is the courtyard in the palace dedicated to the draft, and the pavilion is specially used for the emperor, the queen mother, and the empress to secretly observe the performance of these show girls.
Everywhere you look, there are twenty-eight beauties, all kinds of beauties in the country! More importantly, Lin Yi can do whatever he wants to any beauty in this courtyard anytime and anywhere!
Being able to control oneself in such an environment not only requires a lot of perseverance, but it is estimated that normal men cannot do it at all. Lin Yi was suddenly able to understand those emperors at this time, this was just the performance of a normal man!
Although there were more than 200 of these show girls, Lin Yi could already see at a glance that compared with those boys, there were only a few people with this cultivation qualification. There were about eleven people, a few more than the boy. This probability is a little higher than that of boys, and it may be that both large and small families are willing to send their daughters to the palace.
Since this show girl may become the emperor's concubine or even a noble concubine in the future, and inherit the royal lineage, this draft girl is much more complicated than those who choose eunuchs, and must go through several strict procedures. Therefore, Shandi and others, although most of these show girls are not in line with the emperor's wishes, they must also be brought into the palace, after all, they have to be selected several times when they arrive at the palace. Otherwise, there are only a few people, how to choose from them.
But from this point on, the result is already certain!
A few days later, the results came out quickly, and naturally some people were happy and some were worried! But what was touching and surprising was that it was not the most beautiful among them, or the people who were good at housework, but the people who were not impressive before. What's even more touching and surprising is that two show girls were recruited by the emperor to sleep that night and were given the title of beauty. For the remaining show girls, Lin Yi has already arranged for officials from all over the country to send them back to their hometowns.
Of course, these two show girls are people with that metallic qualification, and Lin Yi received the Yuan Yin Qi in their bodies that night. These two beauties may have been born poor, and they have endured much more hardships and exercises than Wang Jingfeng since they were children, so although this age is a few years younger than Wang Jingfeng, the Yuan Yin Qi in their bodies is far more than her! This is just a drop in the bucket, far from enough, but after these two times. Lin Yi had already felt that the two qi orifices in his nose had been opened, and there was a percent!
The remaining final selection of show girls is naturally the same as those show men, Lin Yi generously rewarded their parents with property to relieve their worries, and at the same time arranged for famous teachers to teach and train seriously, and the most important thing is to spend most of the time practicing the guiding technique every day.
These two beauties of Lin Yixin's favor, one is named Qiu Jing. One person's name is Jingyan, since she is a woman who has become Lin Yi, she has a husband and wife with him. Lin Yi was naturally reluctant to let them embark on the cultivation apprenticeship, and like that Wang Jingfeng, he could only stay in the palace honestly. In addition to the selfish position of this person, the most important thing is. Lin Yizhi said that they were already broken virgins. The cultivation speed of this channeling technique has dropped a lot, so it is naturally lagging behind others. The most important thing is that once such an intimate thing happens, with emotional involvement, Lin Yi can no longer treat them as real subordinates.
This draft is just an episode in life, and Lin Yi's main focus is still on governing the extravagant atmosphere of this society, although such a decree. For the time being, it is difficult for those royal relatives to accept, but Lin Yi believes it. As long as it starts with the palace and the emperor and his concubines, takes the lead in demonstration, and teaches by word and deed, after a few years, such a thrifty and simple atmosphere will slowly take shape.
In addition, for the matter of admonishing the people of the world, Lin Yi is even more of a pioneer, leading the hundred officials of the court to take the lead in opening up the wasteland, and the queen led the concubines and palace maids to pick mulberry and raise silkworms.
After the beginning of spring, the weather is getting warmer day by day, and the good news that Lin Yi has been waiting for for a long time is finally here!
With the shout of the great eunuch Wang Bao, Lin Yi saw that two familiar figures had already appeared in front of him, it was Wei Jue and Ge Hong!
I haven't seen them in just half a year, and these two people have grown a lot taller, especially Wei Jue is directly half a head taller, and now Wei Jue's height is almost the same as Ge Hong's, and even his voice has become significantly thicker, Ge Hong has begun to learn to grow a mustache like an adult, and the corners of Wei Jue's mouth are also full of velvet beards, which looks much more mature.
Ge Hong still looks like a tiger's head, it may be that he has been alchemy in the belly of the mountain for a long time in the past six months, and he has been in contact with the earth fire for a long time, which makes him look black and thin, but he gives people a very strong feeling.
Looking at this Wei Jue again, he is still like a beautiful jade on the side, and when compared with the person next to him, he is dwarfed, and he can't help but feel ashamed of himself. After not seeing the sun for such a long time, Wei Jue's skin looked even paler, and his eyes did reveal a very shimmering look, and the feeling of illness was gone, it seemed that he had stayed with Ge Hong for a long time. Under Ge Hong's organization and careful guidance, not only has his health been much better, but his guiding skills have also improved a lot. Lin Yi could already clearly feel that the growth rate of the peach blossom evil qi in his body was obviously much slower.
After wandering for such a long time, these two people have matured a lot. The children of ordinary people, at the age of fourteen or fifteen, may have already married and had children, but for those who are aspiring to cultivate the path of immortals and live forever, they are just the age of toddlers.
"See my emperor, long live, long live, long live!" These two people have already known along the way that Emperor Hui has died, and Lin Yi has already ascended the throne as the emperor. Just now, Wang Bao taught them the basic etiquette of facing the saints, and after seeing Lin Yi, they hurriedly bowed to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi hurriedly helped them up and said, "You and I are both fellow cultivators, why should you care about these mortal etiquette, besides, I have long regarded the two of you as virtuous brothers in my heart." ”
Wei Jue: "Your Majesty is not only the lord of the world, but also the supreme of the Ninth Five. It is also the leader of our Pure Enlightenment Path, whether it is as a king, a brother or a teacher, this humble etiquette is a must!"
"Your Majesty has a great kindness to us! This is the most basic etiquette that is naturally required!" Ge Hong continued.
Since ancient times, China has attached great importance to etiquette, and there is a distinction between the elder and the young, even if it is true for these cultivators, let alone ordinary mortals! As a modern soul, Lin Yi knows that these basic etiquettes are needed, but these so-called three bows and nine bows are no longer accustomed to it. But when he really ascended the throne and ascended the throne as the emperor, he realized that this was completely different from being the crown prince in the East Palace, and some things were not something he could do if he wanted to, even if he was an emperor, he couldn't be so casual. After all, he represents the interests of a class, and he is not the only one who lives.
Therefore, he wanted to inculcate the ideas of freedom and equality of these ancients, but it was too early, or too unrealistic, and I was afraid that no one would support him except himself. Doing what is common seems to be a universal truth.
As soon as Ge Hong opened the package, Lin Yi smelled a refreshing medicinal fragrance coming to his face. Lin Yi saw that this package was already full of several bottles of pills, it was really dazzling, the sun and the moon were brilliant, even through this sealed medicine bottle, Lin Yi could feel the rich medicinal power coming from it.
"If the hard work really pays off, it seems that you have finally succeeded!" Lin Yi was very pleasantly surprised.
"Fortunately, I have not failed in my mission!" replied Ge Hong.
"Take your time, tell me all the main things about this!" Lin Yi said to Ge Hong and Wei Jue, who were also very excited with expressions. (To be continued......)
PS: According to historical records, Ge Hong is two years older than Wei Jue, and the two are the same age, as for whether the two know each other, it is impossible to investigate, but I have written them as good friends here. However, Guo Pu and Xu Xun are indeed year-old friends who are dozens of years apart!
