The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 1678 Guatemala

"Say it, I'll listen."

Fang Yun sat in the pavilion, looking into the sky.

Huo Long didn't expect Fang Yun to be so straightforward and not arrogant. However, his words were full of strong confidence. He was saying "I listen", but in other people's ears, it was like "I order you to speak."

Huo Long lowered his head slightly, blinked a few times lightly and quickly, and after thinking for a few breaths, he said: "Master Ge is not too concerned about the matter of Yingfang Pavilion, just because Hua Qingniang has a relationship with Master Ge's elders. As for Qiu Xiucai and those ruffians, he had to stand up and say a few words. It doesn't matter, it's just a little trick played by a few shopkeepers. Mr. Ge has already tied up the three shopkeepers and handed them over to the Baling County Government for severe punishment. Qiu Xiucai and others have already signed a report to expose the siege by the eight people. The Xusheng of the human race and the governor of Jingguo, please ask the magistrate of Baling to deal with it in a low-key manner and this matter will never be reported to the official residence."

After saying that, Huo Long stared at Fang Yun nervously, fearing that Fang Yun would have an overreaction. After all, the person who dared to threaten the Dongting Jiao King when he first arrived in Baling really didn't care about a mere Ge Yiming, and even Ge Wanwan might not care about him. In the eyes of this virtual saint.

"Well, it's a good thing for me to handle this matter in a low-key manner. After all, it's not a glorious thing for me to be surrounded by scholars under my own rule. But...he is just a sinecure, and he can control Xiangzhou officials. Report from the mansion?" Fang Yun slowly turned his head and stared at Huo Long with his dark eyes.

At this moment, Huo Long felt like he was back in school when he was scared by the strict teacher and was about to urinate.

Huo Long wanted to slap himself in the face. He and Ge Yiming were used to being domineering in Xiangzhou. Even if they restrained themselves now, they still accidentally showed their flaws. Controlling the official residence newspaper could usually be said to Qingguan or his subordinates, but only You can't tell the governors of the two states.

Huo Long got wise in his hurry and said hurriedly: "I have some friendship with the editor-in-chief of "Xiangzhou Di Bao". In addition, this matter concerns the governor, so I have no choice but to sacrifice my face to ask for help."

Hearing the words "Xiangzhou Di Bao", Fang Yun thought of what he saw on the way to Xiangzhou, and concluded that the greatest ability of the editors and reviewers of "Xiangzhou Di Bao" was to turn the bad things in Qing Dynasty into good things. Write Jingguo's good things into bad things.

""Xiangzhou Di Bao"? If I remember correctly, "Xiangzhou Di Bao" is in charge of the Li Si Yamen. The current editor is the Li Si's right secretary in charge, right?"

"It's Mr. Guan Yi Guan." Huo Long said.

Fang Yun nodded and said, "Before coming to Xiangzhou, I read through the Xiangzhou Di Bao. This person has signed many articles, and he is a good writer."

Huo Long's heart trembled. The entire Li Department was a Qing official, and Guan Yi had always disparaged Jing Guo. Fang Yun's sudden praise was probably not a good thing.

"Your Majesty will definitely control Xiangzhou Di Bao." Huo Long didn't dare to say anything else, so he had to follow Fang Yun's wishes.

"Yes, his surname is Guan, so he can naturally control it." Fang Yun nodded lightly.

Huo Long didn't know what Fang Yun meant, so he froze on the spot, not knowing what to say, thinking rapidly in his mind to get out of this predicament.

Fang Yun stood up and said: "They are just scum among a few scholars. There is no need to go to war. It is too much to accuse Xusheng. However, since it involves me, it will be inconvenient for the magistrate to try the case, so let's hand it over to the Xiangzhou Procuratorate. Let's talk to the Secretary of Justice. As for this matter, it is not inappropriate to record it truthfully in the Xiangzhou Residence Report. In addition, there is no need to go back to the study.

"I excuse myself," Huo Long said, thinking as he walked back, and then couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"As expected, this person is just like the rumors. He doesn't look like an official at all. He doesn't act according to the rules of the officialdom at all. If it were any other official, he would have been ostracized long ago, but he is a Xusheng. Such a style will only cause trouble. There is nothing wrong with him. He follows the rules in the officialdom and wins the hearts of the people. However, is it because of his character or because of his desire to win the hearts of the people?

Huo Long thought as he walked, and finally shook his head slightly, whispered the words "can't guess" in a low voice, and then left the state Yamen.

Fang Yun sat in his study, thinking about his path in Xiangzhou.

Even as the governor of Liangjiang, Fang Yun decided to focus on cultivation and governance of Xiangzhou as a supplement. He refused to do anything that could be avoided.

However, there is one thing that cannot be pushed away, and that is giving Jingguo better control over Xiangzhou. This is the top priority.

The prerequisite for controlling Xiangzhou is stability. If Xiangzhou is unstable, neither scholars nor common people will be willing to become Jingguo people.

"We still need to maintain stability."

Fang Yun raised his head, looked at the map of Xiangzhou hanging on the wall, and then walked over.

To the west of Xiangzhou is Dongting Lake. Black ink and red ink appeared in front of Fang Yun. Without hesitation, he dipped his pen in black ink and drew the border line between Xiangzhou and Dongting Lake in black while thinking about it in his heart.

"Dongting Jiao King looks ferocious, but in fact he has been at ease for many years and lacks fighting spirit. Not to mention Ao Huang, even a visit from Ao Qingyue is enough to suppress him. He is the son of Jiao Sheng and has guarded Dongting Lake for many years. The Holy Spirit will not easily mobilize him, so there is no need to worry about Dongting Lake."

To the north of Xiangzhou is the Yangtze River. Fang Yun picked up his pen and painted the boundary line between Xiangzhou and the Yangtze River in black. However, he suddenly stopped writing and thought for a long time. He took out another pen and dipped it in red ink to draw the line between the Yangtze River and Xiangzhou. The place was traced with red ink, even traced twice.

Fang Yun looked at the map of the Yangtze River again, and finally wrote three eye-catching words in red ink on it, Jiao Sheng Palace.

"The area around the Yangtze River is my fiefdom. Jiangzhou is on the north bank. I don't need to be on guard, but... I ignored the Jiaosheng Palace. This time, the Jiaosheng Palace used the Dongting Jiao King to test me, and they will never give up. I just don't know how the Jiaosheng Palace will target me next time. I'm afraid that if they don't make a move, it will be fine. Once they make a move, I will be caught off guard and suffer a big loss. I must be on guard. At this time, I have to use the means of the Zongheng family. I can only trouble Ao Qingyue or Ao Huang to go to the Jiaosheng Palace."

Then, Fang Yun looked to the south of Xiangzhou.

To the south is Moyao Mountain.

Moyao Mountain is one of the five great monster mountains. During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, a monster saint sneaked in, causing five unstable space cracks between the two worlds. Fortunately, these space cracks can only allow the monster king and the barbarian king to enter and exit at ordinary times. Only at special times can the great monster king and the barbarian king enter. It is difficult for the great monster king at the emperor level to enter and exit. As for the monster saints, they can never enter and must pass through the two worlds.

A few years ago, Fang Yun's literary reputation rose suddenly and he became the target of suppression by the demon world. In order to prevent accidents, Wang Jinglong spent his own strength to block the five demon mountains, but now the blockade has been lifted.

Fang Yun painted thick red ink at the junction of Mo Yao Mountain and Xiangzhou.

Southeastward is Xizhou. Fang Yun didn't think twice and directly changed his pen to draw black at the junction of the two states.

The Xunsheng family is in Xizhou. Although the Xunsheng family's fiefdom is only Xun County, in fact, most of Xizhou is covered by the power of the Xunsheng family. The Qing monarchs of all generations are helpless. After all, the sub-sage family is far more stable than the Qing country. As long as Xizhou is not in chaos and taxes are paid on time, the Qing monarch will ignore it.
