"Man's plans are not as good as God's plans."

The Luanming County Lady spoke at this time, not targeting Su Yan but looking at the nameless person, saying:

"But we are going to the fiefdom of the Red King next. The Grand Master asked us to form a temporary team, which means we have to take office in a small border town directly and let us manage a city for half a year!"

"Everyone knows each other well, and we can compromise and make concessions even if there are disagreements. But we don't even know who the nameless person is or what kind of personality he has, so how can we form a team?"

As the daughter of the Xuan King, the Luanming County Lady is more informed than Su Yan and Zhou You. She already knows the destination and content of the outing arranged by the Grand Master, so she is not too willing to agree to the nameless person joining the team.

Zhou You pulled Su Yan over and complained, "Brother Su, you should be more careful! Don't pick up some unknown objects on the street. Even if the things you pick up are indeed of clean origin, how do you know if there are any hidden dangers?"

"Uh"

The nameless person squatting on the ground was a little embarrassed when he saw that all the spearheads were pointing at him. He stretched out his arm covered by long sleeves, and a plant root directly came out from the wide cuffs, controlling it to extend and twist in the void to twist out a few characters:

[I am the Imperial Physician and I don't comment. ]

The nameless person in front of him is a wood cultivator, and he is also the Imperial Physician from the Imperial Medical Bureau.

The Imperial Physician is the title of the Imperial Physician, and it is also an official position that requires passing an examination. Not all doctors and alchemists can call themselves Imperial Physicians.

Chapter 162: Flower City of the Red King Territory

No. 1 Flower City

"Ka Ka Ka"

The immortal boat located in Yongle Academy, after Master Jin boarded the immortal boat, the gangway on the stone surface made a crisp sound and gradually retracted into the hull. The bottom of the boat unfolded a complicated array to support the entire immortal boat.

The immortal boat floated to the sky channel on the original ground, and symmetrical wide and flat oars protruded from both sides of the hull. The actual prohibitions lit up one by one to unfold an elliptical protective layer to ensure that when flying at high speed, the hull would not be broken and disintegrated due to colliding with any flying monsters.

The immortal boat is different from the ships sailing on the water. There is no need to consider the draft and shape. It is like an aerial city built with countless arrays. Different arrays will be carried according to different uses. Some immortal boats equipped with powerful arrays can even temporarily block earth immortals.

However, those immortal boats are expensive, and only the "Qi Zong" can produce them in the entire cultivation world.

To build a war immortal boat, not only is the price and subsequent maintenance incredibly expensive, but it may also take more than ten years from construction to landing.

Except for some major forces and top masters in the cultivation world, ordinary cultivators dare not even think about war immortal boats.

………………

The immortal boat used for transporting troops in the Xiayu Dynasty rose to a high altitude and activated all the defensive formations. After a short period of accumulation, it directly cut through the sky and turned into a golden stream of light, and headed straight to the southeast of Xiayu according to the preset route.

Its sailing speed is extremely fast, not slower than that of ordinary Yuanying period cultivators. The monks of the academy sitting on the immortal boat can't even see the scenery changing. It has flown more than ten miles away in just a blink of an eye.

Compared with the Xiayu troop transport ship, the cargo immortal boat that Su Yan took before was as slow as a turtle.

But because of the blessing of the formation, the students of the academy sitting in the troop transport ship did not feel any discomfort.

"Su Yan, Jun Xia, Zhou You, Wu Mingshi, Feng Shiqi, the four of you will get off the boat at New Flower City. Here are the letters of appointment you will need."

After the immortal boat was running smoothly, Master Jin began to call out the names of the members on the immortal boat, and then took out all the letters of appointment that he had prepared before and began to distribute them to the students whose names he called.

"Take out the weapons in the storage ring, and then hand in the storage ring or bracelet."

Master Jin put the letter of appointment in Su Yan's hand, and then asked everyone to hand in the storage ring.

Su Yan thought about it, took out the red jade hairpin sword and a bag of dried meat from the storage ring, and then handed the storage ring to Master Jin.

Su Yan didn't have anything in his storage ring. The spirit stones and other things were all left with his aunt. Su Yan was worried about being robbed if he put them on himself, so he was particularly happy when handing in the storage ring.

"?!"

When some students heard Master Jin say that the storage rings would be confiscated, their faces suddenly changed.

Some radicals took off their storage rings without saying a word, muttered something, and destroyed the space array in the storage rings, causing the storage space and private items to collapse into nothingness.

Master Jin glanced at those people and did not express any opinions.

Storage rings are extremely private items, and they can store anything. Those who blew up their storage rings before handing them in should be worried that other monks would spy on their privacy, so they destroyed the storage rings in advance to avoid exposing their strange habits or outstanding behaviors.

"Hmm?"

Master Jin raised his hand and grabbed Zhou You, who had just handed over the storage ring and was about to turn around, and said jokingly: "Although this dean is old and weak, his eyes are not yet presbyopic."

As he said this, Master Jin pinched Zhou You's head and lifted him up, as if he was playing dice, and shook Zhou You's body vigorously. Zhou You, who was bound by the immobilization restriction, couldn't even scream, and was hung up like a cured duck and swung around.

"Ding ding ding."

As he was picked up and shaken by Zhou You, all the spiritual stones, wine bottles, medicines and other things he had hidden in his sleeves, lapels, and trousers fell onto the deck of the fairy boat.

After Master Sumire noticed that Zhou You stopped exploding the equipment, he let go of his hand and threw Zhou You aside. He said in a nonchalant way: "This student is lucky. If there is another hidden item, Healthy people, you may need to consider whether your teeth and throat can swallow the items you keep."

"Next group: Jiang Yin, Li Chun, Mou Qun. Come out and receive your letters of appointment."

"correct!"

Master Jin reached out to Su Yan, pinched the paper bag in Su Yan's arms with his thumb and index finger, ignored the shocked expression on Su Yan's face, and took away the dried meat snacks.

Su Yan: "."

Can I stop grinding my teeth when taking a boat ride? Although Su Yan secretly denounced Grand Master Jin's behavior, he did not dare to speak out directly, for fear that Grand Master Jin would not know where to find a copper sun to grind his teeth.

………………

……………

"Flower City is below. Just take the letter of appointment and hand it over to the county magistrate."

The fairy boat stopped at the edge of the Red King's fiefdom, above the new flower city. Master Sumire didn't even raise her head, and threw Su Yan and his party out of the fairy boat with a wave of his hand. Then he put a check mark on the book and controlled it again. The fairy boat moved farther and farther along the border of the Red King's fiefdom.

Every time he arrived at a given city, the Grand Master would throw a group of monks out according to the original plan.

It wasn't until all the students in the academy were thrown out that Master Sumire controlled the troop-carrying fairy boat and headed for the Red King's city.

The Red King seemed to have already known about the Grand Master's arrival. While the Grand Master Sumire was controlling the immortal boat to land, the servants and cooks in the Red Prince's Mansion were all busy preparing for the dinner.

The Red King, who was wearing yellow uniforms, with a kind smile on his face and a slightly fat figure, stepped forward to welcome Master Sumire with a smile and said:

"I didn't expect that we would meet again in less than a few days after saying goodbye to the imperial master in martial arts."

It was not surprising that King Chi knew that Master Jin was coming. The letters of appointment that Master Jin held previously were all double-stamped by the court and King Chi.

"Your territory is the most chaotic among the eight princes. It's not unusual to see me, right?"

Master Sumire smiled and made a gesture of invitation, and walked towards the Red Prince's Mansion with the Red Prince.

"Am I not working for His Majesty? If I can manage expansion, I can't manage people's livelihood."

Faced with Master Sumire's teasing, the Red King did not show any shame or embarrassment. Instead, he smiled brightly and admitted that the security of his fiefdom was indeed extremely poor.

The fiefdoms that Xia Yu awarded to kings with different surnames were all located on the outskirts of Xia Yu's dynasty. Moreover, the area of ​​the fiefdoms awarded was usually not large. At most, they could only build a mansion for Xia Yu's kings with different surnames.

but!

Kings with different surnames have unlimited rights to expand outward. They can use the banner of Emperor Wusheng to cultivate their own soldiers and expand their territories outwards. As long as the kings with different surnames pay taxes and tribute to Emperor Wusheng regularly and maintain the lives of the people in the fiefdom. Level is fine.

King Chi is the one with the largest area among the eight kings with different surnames.

Excluding tribute, half of the tax revenue on the fiefdom throughout the year was invested in the army and worship. As a result, the people's livelihood and public security could not keep up. People often wrote to Xia Yu City to complain about the security of the Red King. Sometimes it even affected the productivity of the people. .

Chapter 163 County Magistrate! Pack up, we're on vacation!

"It is precisely because of the unlimited expansion rights that kings with different surnames have different fiefdoms, different sizes, and different public security. Even some local government offices have no say at all. They are just decorations in the city. The locals have always followed their own traditional rules. Life."

After falling to the ground from high altitude, County Lord Luanming explained to Su Yan, who was looking at the city in surprise.

Xia Yu, a king with a different surname, has the power to expand externally. In the process of conquest, he merged a large number of foreign tribes or sects. Those tribesmen and small sects did not have the courage to say no to the king with a different surname and Xia Yu, so they could only watch their homeland. be annexed.

Kings with different surnames are not weaklings. Even in the world of cultivation, they still play the role of elders of a sect.

Those aborigines could not resist, so they could only integrate into the lives of the kings with different surnames and silently accept Xia Yu's subtle cultural and institutional education.

But the Red King is a war fanatic and has been constantly expanding the scope of his fiefdom to plunder.

This also resulted in the failure to keep up with the education of the indigenous people. The indigenous people were afraid of the strength of the Red King and did not agree with the local rule of the Xia Yu Dynasty. In other words, the official office established by Xia Yu here did not have much real power.

The closer to the border, the smaller the influence. The New Flower City is a newly built city. The people who currently control the Flower City should be the local indigenous tribes.

"As far as I know, the New Flower City is a brand-new city that was established less than ten years ago. Because the Red King is at war with the Eternal Life Sect and the tribes in southern Xinjiang, the management of the New Flower City is basically in charge of taxation, and most other things are in charge. A free-range state.”

County Lord Luanming said with helplessness on his face: "We have really reached a good place when we took office. No wonder the outing in Yongle Academy is a confidential matter. If you can fight your way out of the poor mountains and rivers alone and without help, why worry about being in Xia Yu's court? Can’t get a job.”

The outing at Xia Yu Yongle Academy is very mysterious and is specially reserved for students with the best grades.

As long as the outing trip is successfully completed, then returning to Xia Yu will definitely lead a successful career, and each one of them will be the most eye-catching and favored son of heaven in Xia Yu City.

In the past, Lady Luanming didn't understand why those people were so transformed after a trip, until it was her turn to be thrown into the poor mountains and bad waters beyond the reach of Xia Yu by Grand Tutor Jin, and she was appointed as the county magistrate of a city, and was about to face the indigenous people with a population of 100,000.

Lady Luanming understood everything.

Let alone managing the New Flower City, as long as she was healthy and alive and went home, it would be good enough.

Judging from the current situation, if you want to stand out from the test of the Academy Outing, you must make political achievements!

But if you want to make political achievements, you need to engage in a direct power struggle with the local indigenous forces.

It is also normal for someone to die on the street accidentally.

As soon as they arrived at the New Flower City, everyone faced a choice invisibly, whether to shrink and waste half a year, gain nothing until the Academy Outing was over, or to choose to make political achievements to obtain the resources in the hands of Grand Tutor Jin.

Rising to prominence or being mediocre is just a matter of everyone's thoughts.

……………………

As the daughter of King Xuan, Princess Luanming is quite clear about the management of the fiefdom. After being sent to the new flower city on the border of King Chi's fiefdom by Grand Tutor Jin, she already knew the content of the outing assessment in the academy and how to win.

But it was precisely because of knowing that that it felt difficult.

The crowd did not dwell too much on this. After landing according to the Grand Tutor's instructions, they went directly to the local government office.

Whether to make achievements or not is another matter. At present, the most important thing is to find a local guide to understand the local situation. The flower government office is a very good place.

Although the natives of the tribe do not care about the government office, they do not have the courage to demolish the government office set up by King Chi here.

Su Yan and his party came to the government office in the center of the city, but after going to the end, the yamen was empty. Helplessly, everyone could only swing the wooden hammer and knock on the drum to summon the county magistrate, county magistrate, and chief clerk of the flower government office to the lobby of the government office.

"Who? Who beat the drum in the hall to make me leave early today and not get the full attendance award!"

The drum in Xia Yu's office was not beaten to complain. The purpose of the drum was just to remind the officials in the office what time it was.

One drum in the morning to go to work, one drum at noon to take a lunch break, and one drum at night to get off work directly.

It's still lunch break now. Wouldn't the third drum let the people know that the county magistrate is going to leave the court?

Who! Who is plotting to harm this official's full attendance award!

However, when the county magistrate and his party ran out and saw the Jindan cultivators in gorgeous clothes opposite, their angry faces gradually turned into moved expressions, and their bad words suddenly turned into soft words and asked:

"Uh, four Jindan heroes, I don't know why you beat the drum?"

The officials in Xia Yu's border city were not highly cultivated, so after seeing the Jindan heroes and the foundation-building cultivators, the county magistrate's tone suddenly changed. He didn't want to be punished for no reason because of his mouth.

Although it can be reported to the Red King Army later, it is me who is being beaten and hurting now.

"Are you the county magistrate of the Flower Office?"

Seeing the disheveled fat man running out of the back hall in a panic, the Luanming County Lady frowned involuntarily and wanted to scold him, but when she thought about it, this was the fiefdom of the Red King, and no one cared about these guys who were eating empty salaries, so she shouldn't make trouble here and talk about those irrelevant topics.

The Luanming County Lady took out the letter from her hand, walked up to the Flower County Magistrate, and said: "We are here from Xia Yu Academy to temporarily take over the Flower City. The letter inside is the letter of appointment certified by the Grand Master and the Red King."

The county magistrate was startled when he saw the official number on the envelope, and hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, wait a minute, I will wash up and come back to receive the letter now"

Facing the letter from Xia Yu's second-in-command, the county magistrate read the letter more intimately than his own mother.

The county magistrate and the chief clerk were also startled. They followed the county magistrate to the back hall to wash and dress up again. They were all dressed up and shiny. Together with the yamen runners, they all ran to the front hall of the government office and lined up neatly to welcome them.

"Everyone welcomes the letter from Grand Master Jin and King Chi!"

Under the leadership of the county magistrate, all members of the Hualien government office stood in front of Luanming County Lady and bowed. The county magistrate stretched out his hands to Luanming County Lady to receive the letter.

"."

Although Luanming County Lady was speechless, she still handed the letter in her hand to the Hualien County magistrate.

The county magistrate was like finding a treasure. He leaned over the table and carefully opened the envelope and read the contents. He was surprised from time to time and happy from time to time. The yamen runners and others in the government office were very nervous, fearing that they would receive a letter of scolding from their superiors.

"It's settled!"

After reading the contents of the letter, the county magistrate shouted with great joy on his face, raised his hand and slapped it on the table, saying:
