Chapter 468
Little Wei Yuan suddenly felt that the whole world had become strange and eerie; what exactly was going on? Was it that the young girl Yin-Yang had true spirituality at this moment, or was it like the 'Human World Fireworks', because the calculation results of one subtle node after another were aggregated, and there was some false spirituality?
Little Wei Yuan hesitated for a moment and chose to reply: No.
All three questions passed, and the young girl Yin-Yang fed back an intention: The game has been deleted.
Then the young girl Yin-Yang quieted down and had no more movement.
Little Wei Yuan's spiritual sense exited the sea of consciousness, suddenly saw the relieved look of the officials in front of him, immediately realized something was wrong, and then discovered that there was indeed a faint smile on his face, so his face sank, instantly making the officials silent like cicadas in winter.
"Why is Magistrate Yuan still here?" Little Wei Yuan asked again.
Yuan Qingyan said: "The imperial court had already issued a transfer order, summoning the subordinate back to the capital to serve in the Ministry of Rites, but the subordinate refused."
"Hmm?" Little Wei Yuan was actually very surprised.
Ningxi was incorporated into his jurisdiction; normally, important officials and officials with connections would be transferred away. As the head of a county, Yuan Qingyan would be transferred away even if it was to an idle position, so why did he stay behind himself? Little Wei Yuan looked at the officials again; most of them were low-ranking small officials, who were the ones without connections, abandoned directly by the imperial court, and they couldn't afford the money for transfer, so they could only stay.
Once Xu Xi left, Sun Chaoen could naturally be promoted to County Governor. This time, it was to discuss with Little Wei Yuan the establishment of relay stations in the county to accept caravan refugees.

Yuan Qingyan gave a bitter smile and said: "To tell you the truth, Lord Wei, I am truly at the end of my rope. I can't just resign and become a loose cultivator, or be a rich man and wait for death, right?"
"Can't you find a position in the court?"
"I have already offended everyone; where is there still a real position? The last path is to go to the battlefield. But compared to Lord Wei, the subordinate's art of war is truly not worth mentioning. Once on the battlefield, I can't defeat the Dharma Form on the opposite side, and without care, it is very easy to fall."
"Their armor and heavy shield usage rate is very high, our crossbow arrows are not very effective, and we need to redesign."
The normal requirements for an official to be promoted are military merit, the people living and working in peace and contentment, and the growth of grain taxes; the other key is to have enough money in hand to move connections.
Regarding the planning of Bianning County, Little Wei Yuan had long had ideas. At this time, many people in the county also wanted to abandon grain and plant mulberry, which Little Wei Yuan firmly forbade, so he discussed with Sun Chaoen that not a single bit of grain fields was allowed to be moved. If there is grain, paying imperial taxes is not a problem. The rest is immortal silver.
Several Shaman tribes were communicating at a very fast speed. One Shaman said: "The new weapons used by the human race are very powerful; after reaching a certain number, they will form a dense rain of bullets, and our warriors simply cannot rush over."
When only Yuan Qingyan was left, Little Wei Yuan said: "Speak, why do you want to stay?"
Yuan Qingyan's words were not wrong; he was already not an opponent when Little Wei Yuan was at the Dao Foundation. Yuan Qingyan relied on luck for seven or eight points when he was promoted to Dharma Form, so in terms of Dharma Form, his combat power was even inferior to the old Daoist Chuhe who didn't bring his big brother; once on the battlefield, it was very easy to be instantly killed by the opponent's powerful Dharma Form.
But Yuan Qingyan was a Dharma Form cultivator after all, and he still had his uses; Qingming was expanding rapidly now, and people were needed everywhere. After Little Wei Yuan pondered, he said: "Since that's the case, you can just work with peace of mind; I'll see how to arrange it later. Oh right, it shouldn't be long before you can reunite with your family."
"Magistrate Yuan is truly able to bend and stretch."
"Secondly, I am a lone official in the court, and this time the errand of the appointment was messed up; after going back, I will be left idle. This time going to the Ministry of Rites will let me guard the sacrificial vessels; to put it bluntly, it's just a warehouse guard, opening the warehouse three times a year. I am not willing to waste my life like this; staying here with you, there is still a chance to fight for a future with my own ability."
Little Wei Yuan asked a few more questions and realized that Yuan Qingyan had long been guarding against others attacking his family, so he broke off his feelings and righteousness and didn't have much affection for his family. Last time, Little Wei Yuan sent people to take action, and Yuan Qingyan took two concubines, who were now almost ready to give birth.
Yuan Qingyan didn't hide it either and said: "To tell you the truth, the subordinate has newly married four concubines, and they are all pregnant now. Besides that, the subordinate has five illegitimate children outside, who have always lived the life of ordinary people; these are things others don't know. The few people originally in the family have very ordinary talent, and it doesn't matter if they come back or not." The cost of producing a breastplate in Qingming is only one or two immortal silver, and it can be sold for twenty or thirty taels everywhere else. Little Wei Yuan distributed a portion of the goods to Sun Chaoen, which was enough for him to accumulate a large amount of immortal silver and also fill the army's quota.
!.
After Little Wei Yuan took his seat, he smiled and said: "If Magistrate Xu wants to see me, just summon me; I also often go to Bianning County, so it's very easy to see."
Seeing that Yuan Qingyan didn't have much joy, Little Wei Yuan was a bit strange.
Such a response was truly something Little Wei Yuan hadn't expected, making all his self-assumed ruthless means fall through, and also making Little Wei Yuan re-recognize these people in the imperial court.
In addition, the County Governor was not Sun Chaoen's end point; he also wanted to go a step further, and at this time, he had to plan.
Yuan Qingyan said solemnly: "I heard that there is a method to improve the Dao Foundation in Qingming. That day, on a whim, I divined a hexagram and knew that my Dao path was related to Qingming; staying behind might allow me to go a step further, perhaps I could enter the Wan Hua Realm."
There was indeed a reason why these small officials were low in rank and light in power; even flattering didn't hit the beat. In comparison, the level of the few county magistrates like Niu Jinbao was much higher, every time allowing Little Wei Yuan to fully experience the joy of meetings; now even people like Cui Yu liked to have meetings with them.
This time Xu Xi came because he had been approved for transfer and didn't need to waste time in the position of County Governor of Bianning County anymore. During these days, the family fortune he had accumulated for many years was almost exhausted, and he almost couldn't even take out the gift for Little Wei Yuan. He sent a gift to Little Wei Yuan mainly because he was afraid of accidents on the way to leave office; after all, the horse bandits in the Western Regions were truly too powerful, and this was not the first time he had been scratched into serious injury.
Xu Xi hurriedly stood up and said: "What are you talking about? The subordinate should have come to pay respects to Lord Wei long ago! It was the subordinate who was ignorant before; now I know it was Lord Wei who raised his hand high, and the subordinate was able to get out of the mud. This time I came specifically to thank you; a small gift is not a sign of respect."
Little Wei Yuan immediately said a few words to the officials, and as he spoke, he felt empty; the officials' responses were enthusiastic, but the content was equally empty, and it was boring to listen to. So Little Wei Yuan didn't want to waste time anymore and directly blasted all the small officials out.
Sun Chaoen moved his mind to military expenses. Bianning County was configured as a border army, and one county had a quota of 20,000, but at this time, there were actually only 7,000 people in the barracks. Sun Chaoen prepared to take out all the military expenses to buy armor and weapons from Little Wei Yuan, and then sell the excess to other places.
After handling Yuan Qingyan's affairs, Little Wei Yuan left the County Governor's Mansion and headed to the Xu family mansion. Little Wei Yuan hadn't been here for a while, so this counted as revisiting an old place. It was near noon, and Xu Jingfeng held a banquet, with Sun Chaoen and Xu Xi also present. Everyone was already seated, just waiting for Little Wei Yuan.
At this very moment, deep in the Shaman domain, several Shaman tribes stood on a huge, incomparable tree stump. One Shaman tribe turned his back to the crowd and looked at the sky.
He pushed over a gift box on the spot, and Little Wei Yuan didn't stand on ceremony, took it and looked; inside the box was 10,000 taels of immortal silver.
By the time Little Wei Yuan boarded the carriage, the two had already discussed all matters in Bianning County, and Little Wei Yuan returned to Qingming.
After accepting the gift, the atmosphere at the banquet was much better, and the four of them talked and laughed. After sitting for about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Little Wei Yuan stood up to say goodbye, and then Sun Chaoen followed him out.
"The human race has also appeared with a new weapon called a 'cannon', but its range is very short, and our archers can shoot their gunners."
"The blood curse is still effective, but it has been offset by the power of the domain quite a bit, and we need to develop a new blood curse."
The Shamans discussed endlessly, one plan after another was proposed and overturned, some plans were accepted and then rapidly improved.
At this time, the Shaman tribe who had been silent all along suddenly said: "Don't forget his 'Immortal Path Twilight', prepare for the 'Heaven and Earth Forbidden', this time the ban: Spear!"
