Chapter 15 The Birth of the Beast(2/2)

The one who is wrong is the emperor, the literati, the local tyrants and evil gentry, and each of us.

And Lantian County is a place where mistakes are being corrected!

We are not independent to be emperors, powerful people, or rich people. It is the Ming world that is self-repair, self-awakening, and self-encouraging.

The Zhuming Dynasty is not the only master on this land. Each of us is, and this land belongs to each of us.

Mr. Lu, Lantian County belongs to all the people of the Ming Dynasty and to every Han family.

Over the past ten years, we have accepted all the people who come to Lantian County, whether they are royal relatives or relatives, scholars, scholars, merchants, farmers, handicraftsmen, and even beggars can survive well here!

Because, this is their land, they have the right to live here."

Lu Xiangsheng waited for Xu Wu to finish reading passionately before reaching out to ask for the letter, frowned and said, "How do you want to bring out my belief?"

Xu Wu thought, "This is arranged by the county magistrate. I want to read this severance to you at the right time and at the right time, and the effect will be better."

Lu Xiangsheng put the letter in his sleeve and looked at Tian Ye for a while. He thought to Xu Wu: "The Dharma is nothing. The Ming Dynasty used Xie Xi as an external manifestation. What did Lantian use as an external manifestation?"

Xu Wu thought, "Lu Xiangsheng! Lu Xiangsheng, who had suffered hardships, said that the former Lu Xiangsheng was like uncensored jade, like meteorite, like a valley, and now Lu Xiangsheng is like white jade, like a magic weapon, like a hut with its head hanging, which is of great use."

Lu Xiangsheng looked up at the sun and said, "It's low!"

Xu Wu wanted to say immediately: "Like the rising sun, like the sea tide, like..."

Lu Xiangsheng stopped Xu Wu and wanted to continue bragging, and with both hands retracted his sleeves and said, "Fa's status is low."

Xu Wu thought, "It's not low..."

Lu Xiangsheng shouted at Qingtian, "Low!"

Xu Wuying also shouted loudly: "It's not low."

Lu Xiangsheng stared at Xu Wu and thought, "When Yao was the emperor, he raised a Xiezi in his palace. Whenever Xiezi met a evil official in the palace, he would use his horn to knock the evil official over and eat it.

Xu Wu thought, tell Yun Zhao that I want such power.”

Xu Wu wanted to laugh and said, "Fortunately, you took on the responsibility of Xie Zhi in my Lantian County. If you were in the Ming Dynasty Palace, you might be suffocated to death.

This is the responsibilities of the Supreme Justice, please see it for yourself!”

As he said that, he took out a thick document from his arms and handed it to Lu Xiangsheng, turned around and left. Lu Xiangsheng grabbed him and said, "Are you leaving now?"

Xu Wu wanted to pat Lu Xiangsheng's hand and said, "Before this, you were a distinguished guest, so I, the local official, naturally, have to accompany you to show respect. Now, summer harvest is imminent, we are colleagues, I am busy with official business, so where can I have time to serve you?

Your servants and subordinates are waiting for you in the inn, and you are also busy building your government office. I think you don’t have time to stay in my Dali County anymore, right?”

After saying that, he really left.

Lu Xiangsheng shouted at Xu Wu's thought: "My hairpin really can eat people!"

Xu Wu wanted to wave his hand from afar and said, "You can't even eat my hair in this life!"

The rectification movement will always produce results...

This is why Yun Zhao appointed Lu Xiang to Supreme Justice.

As of now, Lu Xiangsheng is the most suitable person for this position that Yun Zhao can find. Whether in nature, family, experience, or fearless determination, this person is the best choice. In addition, he himself was wronged and survived with great honor, which gave him a further understanding of the judicial system of the Ming Dynasty.

Lantian County can no longer grow wildly and needs orderly and purposeful development.

Time is on Yun Zhao's side. No matter how the various forces outside develop, it is impossible to surpass Lantian County soon.

Give Yun Zhao another five years, and a complete system of Lantian County will stand in Guanzhong.

Lu Xiangsheng read the book in the inn for five days. When he opened the door and went out on the sixth day, he said to his young officials: "Go back to Lantian County."

He had many subordinates, including sixty officials, twelve clerks, one hundred and sixty fully armed armored soldiers, equipped with 300 war horses, ten carriages, and 30,000 new silver dollars, as well as six blank appointment documents without a name after signing and printing.

This was the first large-scale decentralization of power in Lantian County, and it was also the first time that Yun Zhao had so easily handed over an extremely important department to an outsider who was not a robber in Lantian or a Yushan Academy.

"You have made good arrangements for Lao Lu!"

Hong Chengchou, who was once again removed from military power, fell on a chair opposite Yun Zhao. His words were calm and gentle, but his eyes did not leave Yun Zhao's face.

"It was not what I arranged, he sent himself to this position. In addition to him, if you can find someone more suitable than him, I will lose."

Yun Zhao kept reciting the documents and handed them to Yang Xiong who was standing by the side.

After handling the business, Yun Zhao added tea to Hong Chengchou's teacup, sat beside him and said, "Why, can't hold on?"

Hong Chengchou pointed to the heart and said, "I can't stand it here."

Yun Zhao said: "I heard you are going to take office as the commander of the Nine Borders."

Hong Chengchou said: "I can't take the role, I don't want to go to Liaodong..."

Yun Zhao smiled and said, "If you can leave it behind, then come to me, but you can only serve as the magistrate of a certain county."

Hong Chengchou smiled, picked up the teacup and said, "One word is certain."

Yun Zhao took the map and pointed to Qingshui County and said, "Go here?"

Hong Chengchou shook his head and said, "Save it for me."

Yun Zhao frowned and said, "Aren't you here now?"

Hong Chengchou smiled and pointed to the capital and said, "I want to take the road like Brother Jiandou. After I die, I will come to Lantian County again, which is also a new life."

“There is a beginning and an end?”

Hong Chengchou sighed and said, "There must be a beginning and an end. If you can't even do this, you will look down on me. At that time, you may not be willing to hand over a county to me."

I am not afraid of going to the battlefield, and I have never fought with Jiannu, but Liaodong - in fact, it is no longer the world of Ming Dynasty.

I submitted a memorial to Your Majesty, hoping that the heavy troops would defend Shanhaiguan. I would be demoted to serve as the general of Shanhaiguan and serve as the last barrier to defend the imperial city. I was scolded by Your Majesty.

This is what I really want to do. I plan to build a steel defense line in three years, and then rely on this stable defense line to gradually advance northward..."

Yun Zhao was surprised and said, "You want to give up north of Shanhaiguan?"

Hong Chengchou shook his head and said, "There are chaos and different states. Generals do not know the soldiers, soldiers do not know the generals. Each general has a ulterior motive. There are a thousand strategies in the belly of civil servants that sounds great and powerful but are useless.

The Qing Dynasty had a sparse population, and even now the entire clan was less than 500,000. If they gave him some land, they needed more troops to guard it. As long as their troops were stationed in scattered, they would have the opportunity to defeat them one by one.

If they do not divide their troops, then this land is still a masterless thing, and it doesn’t make much sense to give in or not.

For our Ming Dynasty, this is not the case. For every 100 miles of defense to the north, the consumption will increase by 30%. After 300 miles, the consumption will increase by 100 miles.

It is not a matter of one day or one night to defeat the Qing Dynasty. Our Ming Dynasty has a vast territory, but it is even weaker than the Qing Dynasty. Liao pay accounts for 70% of our Ming Dynasty's military expenditure, and there is no progress every year... Alas!"

Yun Zhao shook his head after hearing Hong Chengchou's words: "You came up with this idea. The emperor did not cut off your head. It is already considered wise."

Hong Chengchou laughed and said, "I can't bear to leave the money I've thrown into Liaodong for decades! Everyone should carry it until the day when I can't stand it. If I accept my strategy, I will find that everything is too late.

But if you do this, it will be cheaper for you and your front will retreat even more!”

As Hong Chengchou spoke, he drew a line with a brush on the map hanging on the wall of Yun Zhao. This line was very close to the line that Yun Zhao drew a year ago.

This line starts from Lantian City and is outlined to the Yangtze River.

After Hong Chengchou drew this line, he left staggeringly. It seemed that he had drunk wine but not tea just now. Yun Zhao understood his thoughts very much. When a person wanted to get drunk, he would get drunk no matter what he drank.

He avoided Lu Xiangsheng and left Yushan City the day before Lu Xiangsheng entered Yushan City. He did not return to Xi'an, but came out of Tongguan and went to Henan.

He came to Lantian County for only one purpose - to find a destination for his heart without placing a place, and to prove that he still has value in use to this destination.

Hong Chengchou is a person who does not believe in friendship and friendship. Perhaps after being a long time, officials have little confidence in friendship and friendship.

In his eyes, one person wants to be valued by another person, the only consideration is that he has value.

He measured it for a very long time, and only Yun Zhao stayed here most comfortably, and the stroke on the map was his surrender.

Yun Zhao and Lu Xiangsheng sat in the newly built observatory of Yushan Academy all night, and neither of them was in a mood to speak.

There were two small square tables in front of the two, with the same dishes on the table, one with meat, one with vegetarian, one with soup, one with rice, and one with jar of wine.

Without saying anything, the meal was eaten clean, and two jars of wine accompanied the two from the stars to the sky, until the sun came out of the mountains, and the red clouds were everywhere.

After drinking the wine, people are not drunk. Some wines become more and more sober.

"Lu Xiangsheng is dead. From now on, I will be a magic beast called Xie Zhi."

"From the future, there will be only one name for the Supreme Justice to Lantian County, namely - Xie Zhi!"

"Can Xie Zhi contradict Yao and Shun?"

"It cannot be done at this stage. After all, in legend, Xie Xi is a beast raised by Yao."

"When can I contradict it?"

"When everyone in the world thinks that the emperor cannot be lawless."

"It may have been a little late at that time, and he has committed endless sins."

"The overthrow of the emperor always requires an extremely heavy price, and Lantian County is no exception."

"You are not a selfless person."

"So, don't treat me as a saint. My name is Yun Zhao. I am a wild boar spirit by nature. I want to use my nose to open a door of light for everyone, and use my fangs to pierce the gatekeepers, so that the people of the Ming world can have the opportunity to see what another world looks like."

"Are you sure that the world is better than our current world?"

"I don't make a promise, I just let everyone see it. If it doesn't work, it's no big deal to go back."
