In Xianwu, people evolve infinitely starting from the prince

The hot spring room in the Governor's Mansion is large and luxurious.

Yang An lay comfortably in the hot spring pool, his eyes narrowed slightly, and what emerged in his mind were the pictures of the birth of the Vermillion Bird and the ancient immortal artifacts.

Although the distance was far, he did not face the power of the Vermillion Bird and the ancient immortal artifacts directly.

But even though they were more than 3,000 miles apart, Yang An could still sense the powerful terror of the Vermillion Bird and the ancient immortal artifacts.

Under such terrifying power, even the first-grade Tianren Grandmaster of martial arts could feel his own insignificance.

At the same time, Yang An thought of more.

He was thinking, the Nine Sects and Six Paths and the Twelve Aristocratic Families in the world, for the sake of the dynasty's thousand-year catastrophe, even a terrifying beast like the Vermillion Bird could be tolerated. Can the Daqian Dynasty really survive this demonic catastrophe?

Also, is the immortal road above the imperial capital real?

Does the immortal world really exist in this world?

...

One after another doubts arose in his mind, but there was no accurate answer.

Fortunately, Yang An was not a person who liked to get stuck in a rut.

Since I can't figure it out.

Let's not think about it.

He lay in the hot spring pool, emptying his mind, enjoying the massage of the palace maids behind him, and looking at the layout of the hot spring room with interest.

It must be said that Governor Haizhou is a person who knows how to enjoy himself.

A hot spring pool is built larger than the indoor swimming pool in the previous life.

Moreover, the water in the hot spring pool is running water, and the replacement of the pool water depends on the developed and reasonable water pipes.

The water inlet pipe is connected to the canal in the Governor's Mansion, introducing clear and clean mountain spring water.

The downpipe is connected to the drainage canal, constantly discharging the dirty water outside the mansion.

In this way, the hot spring pool will always be a pool of cool and clean mountain spring water. People can bathe in it to relieve the heat and enjoy the comfort of hygiene.

Under the hot spring pool, there is also a controllable spiritual energy formation to adjust the temperature in the pool so that it can be used in all seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter.

The most wonderful thing is that there are hundreds of gauze or kudzu sachets at the bottom of the pool, filled with a variety of spices mixed with fine powder, quietly overflowing into the water, so that the fragrance always lingers on the surface of the pool.

The daily maintenance cost of just a hot spring pool for bathing is enough for an ordinary family of five in Tiannan City to spend half a year.

And this is just the maintenance cost of the hot spring pool, not including the precious spices burned in the hot spring room during bathing, disposable bath towels, towels, soap, floral essential oils, etc.

If you really want to calculate it strictly.

Take a bath in such a hot spring room.

In total, it costs at least several hundred taels of silver.

This is just a hot spring room for bathing.

If you calculate the daily expenses of the entire Governor's Office, it is impossible without tens of thousands of taels of silver a month.

And how much is the salary of the Governor of Haizhou?

According to the regulations of the Daqian Dynasty, the governor of a continent is ranked second in the imperial court, with a monthly salary of 800 taels of silver, a bottle of Zhenyuan Dan required for the practice of the second-grade Dharma Master, and 150 shi of grain.

Zhenyuan Dan is a second-grade elixir, and it is also the most common type of Zhenyuan recovery elixir among the second-grade elixirs. A bottle of ten pills is worth about 1,000 taels of silver.

So the monthly salary of a governor of Daqian is about 2,000 taels of silver. Compared with the monthly cost of tens of thousands of taels of silver to maintain the Governor's Office of Haizhou, it is estimated that it is not even enough.

Such a governor of Haizhou.

You say he is an honest and good official.

Who believes it!

Of course, this is also the national conditions of the Daqian Dynasty.

Small greed is not greedy, and big greed is even more normal.

Even in the eyes of most officials, the salary given by the court is not enough to support maids, servants, doormen and guards, let alone maintain their own practice.

They are busy every day, and they are a little greedy, take some hard-earned money, and enjoy it.

Isn't this a matter of course?

No matter how difficult the court is, it can't let these officials who are loyal to the country and serve the people wholeheartedly feel discouraged.

So things like greed and bribery.

It's completely a semi-open secret.

Not only do the people below know it, but even the people above know it clearly.

As long as there is no big chaos, just pretend that you can't see it.

"What a pity!"

"I originally wanted to kill Luo Sanxing and make him spit out all the money and resources he swallowed before."

Yang An looked at the luxurious hot spring room in front of him, and his heart was full of regret.

Originally, he was thinking that after he completed the assessment of the king, he would take advantage of the grass to kill the rabbit and send Luo Sanxing, the governor of Haizhou, to him and confiscate his property.

Now he has seen the terrifying power of the ancient immortal weapon.

Yang An carefully weighed it and finally had to give up this tempting idea.

He found that he had underestimated the Nine Sects and Six Paths and the Twelve Families in the World.

I originally thought that the Daqian Dynasty suppressed the sects, holy places and the world's aristocratic families with its own strength. Now looking back, I know how ridiculous this idea is.

The strength of the Daqian royal family may be able to suppress three or five of the twelve aristocratic families, but it can never suppress the union of the twelve aristocratic families.

And the twelve aristocratic families united together can probably only suppress one or two of the nine sects and six paths.

The correct order should be:

The holy place is stronger than the Daqian royal family, and the Daqian royal family is stronger than a single aristocratic family.

As for the Daqian court?

It is a force jointly established by the holy place, the royal family, and the world's aristocratic families. The Daqian royal family is just the apparent manager of this force.

That's right.

It is a manager, not an owner or controller.

Yang An does not have the strength to overturn the table directly now.

So even if he dislikes Luo Sanxing, he cannot take him down and confiscate his family property without real evidence.

After all, Luo Sanxing is not Yin Kaishan, but the general governor of Haizhou appointed by the Emperor of Daqian himself, a real frontier official, and a second-rank official. Behind him are the Dongshan Luo family and many big figures in the court.

And the Dongshan Luo family is not a gang force like the Jinhai Gang that can be touched.

Want to take down Luo Sanxing.

Unless there is real evidence to prove that he is involved in a major case that is sensational enough to reach the ears of the emperor, and the case must be made into an iron case in the first place, leaving no chance for the other party to turn the tables.

Otherwise, if you don't kill the snake, you will suffer from it.

Of course, Yang An can also find an opportunity to secretly kill Luo Sanxing without anyone noticing.

But his goal is the money and resources in Luo Sanxing's hands, not a grudge against Luo Sanxing.

If this assassination method is really used, even if Luo Sanxing is killed, the money and resources he has plundered in Haizhou will not fall into Yang An's hands, which would be a waste of time.

So Yang An thought about it and finally decided to let Luo Sanxing go for the time being.

Now his strength is far from enough, and it is not appropriate to directly confront the Nine Sects and Six Paths and the Twelve Aristocratic Families in the world. It will not be too late to settle accounts with them in a unified manner when he has enough strength in the future.

Thinking of this, Yang An leaned against the edge of the hot spring pool and dozed off.

On his left and right sides, there were two young and beautiful palace maids who served him carefully, either rubbing his shoulders and back, or rubbing and combing his black hair, with extremely gentle movements.

Just at this time, two palace maids carrying trays of robes and towels also walked in with lotus steps. They were all young and beautiful, with a variety of manners.

The arrival of these two palace maids seemed to make Yang An, who was dozing, aware of something.

He suddenly opened his eyes, and his eagle-like sharp eyes looked at the two people who were slowly walking towards him with scrutiny.
