Jianye.
In a certain restaurant, several officers from the Zhenyi Company were very drunk.
If Yu Youquan were here, he would even be able to recognize two of them. They were Zhao Tinglan and Gan Tong.
Just like Zhao Tinglan, he was comforting a drunken man at this time and said, "You should be more open about Yunzhang Seal. That Yu Juli is a direct disciple of the Lord Zheng of Tonglin, one of the four great families of the Jin Dynasty, like It is impossible for us casual cultivators like us who have no power and no foundation to compete with them."
The name of the man Zhao Tinglan consoled was "Yun Yifeng", and he had been in charge of the Yi Zhen Division for quite some time.
Recently, the Fuyan Fudu Division has made great contributions to the pacification of Longhu Lake. In addition, due to the urgent military situation in northern Xinjiang, the Zhenyi Division has temporarily projected stronger power in several major offices in northern Xinjiang.
then.
Fudusi was transferred from the Capital City Yisi Dusi to the local subordinate organization Daozhengsi to serve as the "Taoist Supervisor". Although he was still the deputy of "Daozheng", he was promoted to the third level and became the deputy first rank.
He is almost only one level shy of the Venerable, and can be said to have a prosperous official career.
As practitioners, they don't value secular official positions that much, but how could they not value them while living in them?
Things in the world are like this. If you have no desires, you will be strong. Once you have desires, you will become worried about gains and losses, and even lose yourself.
People fight for a breath, and Buddha receives a stick of incense.
What's more, every time you upgrade a level, the resource benefits you can obtain are real.
For many casual cultivators who join the Zhenyi Division, they rely on these qualifications to increase their cultivation speed. Promotion is equivalent to improving their cultivation level.
This time Fudusi was promoted and received a salary increase. As usual, Yun Yifeng, who had been the palm printr for many years, was the most promising rising star to take over Fuyan Fudusi's position and was promoted to the new Dusi.
Many people even think that this matter is almost certain, and they have begun to call Yun Yifeng Yundusi in private.
But what everyone never expected was that Yu Dusi would parachute in, causing Yun Yifeng's dream to be shattered and slapped in the face, which seemed particularly embarrassing.
Yun Yifeng said with drunken eyes, "Don't comfort me, Hier~ Zhenyi Division has always been filled with the weak and the weak. If you want to blame me, Lao Feng, I can only blame the second level of Qu Qu. If I, Lao Feng, am now a real person of the third level, , why care about these flies and dogs?"
Everyone was silent.
Yunyi Fengyun Palm didn't seem to have any complaints, but this was also the biggest complaint.
Because according to rumors, Yu Juli is only in the second level.
To put it bluntly, they still have no strength and no background. What can be done?
Wu Weiran opened his shaman palm seal and said, "Old Feng is more open-minded. How can those aristocratic families think of the position of Dusi? Most of them come to practice for a period of time. Once the experience is over, it will be your position."
"Yes, it's good to have a boss from a noble family. He has a powerful background. At least he won't take credit for our achievements and won't be bullied by other governors."
"Yes, yes, maybe you can get better benefits for us."
Everyone comforted Yun Yifeng with their words, but the drunk Yun Yifeng not only was not comforted, but also felt even more uncomfortable.
He just came here for a trial, but he easily took away what he had dreamed of but never wanted.
Zhao Tinglan and Gan Tong couldn't help but sigh.
The two of them know Yu Juli best here. From investigating the Blood Hand Gang in Jiaonan Township to slaying demons in Longlong Lake, they have almost witnessed Yu Juli's growth.
Especially in Longhu Lake, it plays a vital role.
In a sense, even their savior.
But neither of them expected that Yu Juli would suddenly transform and become their immediate boss, which was really a bit dreamy.
Wu Weiran said: "Almost all the great monks above the venerable level have been drafted to guard northern Xinjiang. The capital is empty, and evildoers will surely appear next. It might be a good thing to let a member of a family like Yu Juli serve as the capital."
Everyone's hearts trembled, even Yun Yifeng's heart couldn't help but feel cold. Thinking about it, he was more than half drunk.
Not everyone has the intention, especially those who practice evil practices. They don't care whether the country is in danger or not, but they are always fishing in troubled waters.
This is also the so-called "in the last years of a dynasty, evildoers will be born"!
It is foreseeable that the pressure on the Department of Suppression and Identity will inevitably rise sharply in the future, and if something goes wrong, one may die in the line of duty.
It seems that it would be good to have a son from aristocratic family standing in front of him. After all, most sons from aristocratic family have guardians.
The question is, can Yu Juli really take on this important responsibility?
If I remember correctly, he seems to be eleven years old this year, right?
It is inevitable that everyone here will become worried again!
When it comes to such a big matter as their wealth and life, they don't want to play house with a child.
time flies.
"Lang Jun, this is the Zhenyisi Yamen."
The person who spoke was Rui Man. As Yu Youquan's confidant, he also came over. He was mainly responsible for running errands such as serving tea, pouring water, and sorting out documents.
Even though it is just running errands, this job is very challenging for him and it is also an excellent opportunity.
After all, if you are close to your master, you will naturally become his confidant.
He still sees this very clearly!
Moreover, Lang Jun kept his word and not only fulfilled the promised exercises and secrets, but also gave them guidance from time to time, making Ruiman full of expectations for the future.
Also following was Zheng Shiyou. As one of the four and three heroes of the Zheng family and a relatively older one, he also needed to devote himself to training early so that he could shoulder more and heavier responsibilities. .
During the recent period, seventh sister Zheng Yingqiong dragged Liu Lang Zheng Shichang and was busy in the experimental field under her name. It is said that some preliminary results have been achieved.
Or maybe he has completely changed his mind. Not only did Zheng Yingqiong personally go to ask Da Si Nong for advice on farming, but he and Zheng Shichang also visited various large estates, conducted overt and covert visits, and interviewed the most experienced farmers to obtain first-hand information on farming.
Even Zheng Shichang slowly accepted his fate and began to concentrate on seed selection and various methods of compost fertilization, which was in full swing.
As for Zheng Yingqi, the fourteenth mother, it is better to practice and learn at the same time. Recently, she has made a major discovery in the field of "gu insects".
But it was this thriving learning atmosphere that made Zheng Shiyou feel somewhat at a loss.
According to his own plan, after refining the Cauldron of Houtu, the first goal is to understand the meaning of Houtu, and then refine various earth evil spirits suitable for the earth method, and continue to dig deeper along the Houtu path.
but.
How to understand the meaning, he currently has no clue, and then he followed Yu Youquan to Zhenyi Division to experience.
The current position he holds is "Zhangyin", which can be regarded as Yu Youquan's deputy, which he does not reject.
Yu Youquan's various feats have completely conquered him.
"Is this the Zhenyisi Yamen?"
What I saw in front of me was a very ordinary, even quite old courtyard. The gates and walls all looked a bit old, and they didn't look much different from an ordinary yamen.
The stone lion at the door was badly worn and had gone through many winds and rains; the tallest building in sight was a two-story building.
Moss grew on the tiles on the small building, and the vermilion paint on the doors, windows, and walls was very dull. It looked like it had not been renovated for many years.
There were two rows of government officials standing sparsely at the door, looking listless and yawning, as if they were some Qingshui government office with little luck.
Yu Youquan was quite surprised. Zhen Yisi was the only yamen in the imperial court that faced practitioners directly. This situation was a bit too worrying.
Can they really guard the safety of the capital?
Yu Youquan was a little suspicious, but he didn't make any hasty decisions.
He took out the capital's seal and showed it to the guards. The guards who had been yawning just now suddenly became energetic and respectful, and immediately led the way.
After entering the Zhenyisi Yamen, we walked through many twists and turns, passed through long corridors, walked through several gardens, attics, and waterside pavilions, and finally were introduced to an archway portal that was quite magnificent compared to the outside.
During this period, I also encountered many curious flag bearers coming and going. They were quite curious, but they did not pay too much attention.
The two yamen who led the way to the archway were not allowed to enter any further. They casually tipped some broken silver to thank the yamen who led the way.
The few entered the portal directly, and the scene inside suddenly changed, turning into a treasured place of cultivation with abundant vitality of heaven and earth.
Compared with places like the Chaofeng Pavilion on Zhuolong Mountain in the Zheng Family's Inner Courtyard, the abundance of heaven and earth vitality here is much lower. However, compared with most ordinary areas in the Zheng Family's Inner Courtyard, the abundance of vitality is not bad, and it is even better. Be better.
Yu Youquan suddenly understood.
This logic is the same as that of the inner court and the outer court of aristocratic sects. The inner and outer worlds are interconnected but distinct.
For example, the old and shabby-looking Yamen outside is not only a cover-up for the inner courtyard, but also a true reflection of the Yamen in the outer courtyard.
After all, there are many things in the world, and not all of them require the intervention of real practitioners. Most of them can only be solved by the intervention of flag bearers who are still ordinary warriors.
As for true practitioners, after all, they still need to find time to practice, and they cannot always pay attention to and intervene in various trivial disputes in the world.
If even a fight between two small gangs requires practitioners from the Zhenyi Division to come forward, then it is estimated that few practitioners from the Zhenyi Division will be willing to join.
Even so, Yu Youquan still felt that compared with the tall and magnificent government yamen seen in TV series in his previous life, the real yamen in this world were obviously much more shabby.
It can also be seen from this that the imperial court is indeed not as wealthy and lavish as he imagined.
It may be normal to think about it. The Jin Dynasty is currently in a precarious state. It seems that it is really at the end of the dynasty. It may be destroyed by the Northern Wei Dynasty soon. It is true that it cannot show much of its prosperity.
For example, in the old photos of the Manchu and Qing imperial palaces circulated on the Internet in previous lives, one can even see how dilapidated the palace was, with many places looking like overgrown wormwood.
This is true for the imperial palace, let alone an ordinary yamen.
He even saw in old photos that the so-called "yamen" was actually just an ordinary tiled house, with the yamen and officials all dressed in rags.
Yu Youquan reflected for a moment and realized that in the past six months, he had been living in Zheng's Inner Courtyard, a true treasure of worldly spiritual practice. All he could see was the Qiong Tower, Jade Yu, Pearl Palace, Bei Que, Guangxiu, Hua Shang, and Embroidered Luo Yi, and everything he saw at the entrance. Everything I tasted and drank was delicacies and delicacies, and I gradually forgot about the hardship and poverty in the world.
The fire is cooking the oil, and the flowers are blooming in the Zheng family's inner courtyard, not this world, this Jin Dynasty court.
The imperial offices are so dilapidated, but what about ordinary people's houses?
Yu Youquan's consciousness slightly extended outwards, and he soon sensed a large area of low and dilapidated houses. Many of the residents looked disheveled, and their clothes were tattered and patched.
Compared with these low-rise houses, the Yamen of Zhenyisi is really majestic.
Compared with half a year ago, the capital city, which had devoted a whole nation to building the defense line in northern Xinjiang, had indeed declined countless times.
The most intuitive manifestation is its popularity. You can hardly see too many idle people on the street.
He even sensed that some strong men were simply taken away, which seemed like the policy had been misconstrued.
This made Yu Youquan slightly alert!
As the capital secretary this time, I don’t have to say how clean I want to be, but I’d rather not disturb the people as much as possible without increasing the burden on the people.
Their life is not easy!
Especially now that the imperial court is recruiting young men to go north to build important border towns, it is a time when people's livelihood is in decline.
And at this time, the more he must be a good night watchman, minimizing the harm caused by demons, ghosts and evil cultivators to mortals.
And just after Yu Youquan entered the true heart of Zhenyisi, Yao Huangxi, who was in retreat, suddenly opened his eyes.
Yao Huangxi is not an ordinary person in Zhenyisi, but Da Sizheng who is currently in charge of Yisi, which is equivalent to the nominal leader of Zhenyisi.
There were several others who opened their eyes at the same time.
One of them was clearly the old man who guarded Zhenyisi's Sutra Pavilion, one was a one-armed middle-aged man who suppressed Zhenyisi's prison, and the other was teasing the baby in his concubine's arms with candy in a small courtyard. man.
This person looked at Yu Youquan from a distance, and even forgot to move the candy that had been shaking in his hand, letting the child in his concubine's arms snatch it away, laughing happily.
This man's name is Yuan Wengao, he is a distinguished person from the Yuan family, and he is currently ordered to take charge of Yisi.
The position is deputy director, and his status is equivalent to the "big Zhongzheng" of the Zhenyi Division. His core responsibilities are personnel appointments and removals, as well as recommending major aristocratic families, or in other words, visiting various leftover sages and inviting them to join the Yiyi Division. hold office.
It is also a crucial and crucial part!
It was Yu Youquan who took the lead in establishing relationships with Yuan Wengao when he entered the Zhenyi Division as the Dusi this time.
The Yuan family is able to occupy the key department of personnel appointment and dismissal of the Zhenyi Department, which shows the terrifying and powerful influence of the Yuan family.
Relying on this department alone, the Yuan family can easily arrange many of the Yuan family's children to serve in the Zhenyi Division and even the local Daozheng Division. They occupy a large number of key departments and can immediately control the natural resources and spiritual forces in various places. It is more convenient to make friends with practitioners from all over the world.
It is precisely because of this that the Yuan family has recruited many casual cultivators and is extremely influential among the people.
Seeing Yu Youquan coming, Yao Huangxi and Yuan Wengao rushed over to greet him immediately.
"Haha, I have been thinking about when nephew Ju Li and nephew Yuan Wei will arrive. Now I finally have you here."
Yuan Wei is the name of Zheng Shiyou.
The person who just spoke was none other than Yao Huangxi. He was tall and strong, and when he smiled, he had deep wrinkles on his face. From this, one could tell how old Yao Huangxi was. Not too small.
In other words, he was relatively old when he broke through and was unable to retain his prime years.
As for his naming method, he followed Yao's consistent tradition.
for example.
Yao Chilong, Yao Heihu, Yao Feixiong, and Yao Huangxi are basically all related to animals.
Some people even speculate that this may be related to the Yao family's strongest heritage, it may be some kind of beast refining using monsters as raw materials, or it may simply be some secret method of cultivating monsters.
Or it could simply be a secret treasure that drives the demon clan to fight. In short, there are a lot of discussions and speculations.
As for the naming method of the older generation of the Yuan family, it is quite satisfactory. Yun Wen and Yun Wu are different from the Yuan family's "Baxiang Bafang" naming method based on their respective "hexagrams".
"I've met Uncle Yao and Uncle Yuan."
Yu Youquan and Zheng Shiyou saluted at the same time.
Yuan Wengao also laughed heartily, "You're welcome. Not long ago, Yuzhi was asking when Ju Li and Yuan Wei would arrive. You can have a good time together when you have time."
Yuan Yuzhi, whose courtesy name is Liman, is the Lihuo hexagram among the eight elements of the Yuan family.
Since the life-and-death battle between Yu Youquan and Yuan Tan at Longhu Lake, he has gradually become familiar with other people from all directions of the Yuan family.
For example, Yuan Yuzhi is more like a friend's brother at present. We have eaten and drank together, and we are relatively familiar with him.
"Brother Li Man has unparalleled fire skills. With his help, those evil cultivators will definitely be frightened by the news."
Zheng Shiyou also talked about Yuan Yuzhi's various advantages and the Yuan family's great reputation in all directions.
Facts have proven that it is far more effective for parents to praise their children in front of their elders than to praise themselves.
Yuan Wengao was a little proud, and he said disparagingly, "Don't put gold on Yu's face. Everyone in the entire capital knows about the reputation of the Zheng family as the fourth generation, three heroes, and one person."
"Master, I'm really happy that you are willing to come to Zhenyisi."
After a few brief greetings, Yao Huangxi's expression became particularly serious.
"We have also talked about old times. Without rules, there is no rule. From now on, in private, we are naturally happy when Ju Li and Yuan Wei call us uncle. But in public, it is better to use official positions. After all, there is something wrong with giving people authority. inappropriate!"
"Yes, Yao Sizheng, Yuan Sizheng."
Yuan Wengao corrected him, "What kind of Sizheng am I? From now on, just call me Deputy Sizheng. We practitioners don't need to go around and around, and don't make fools of yourself."
"Yes, Deputy Sizheng Yuan."
The two immediately laughed when they heard this. It is good for everyone to separate the public and private matters.
Yao Huangxi said seriously, "Since you are here, you must also want to do something in Zhenyisi, so I won't say more. There won't be much time left for us. Once there is a lot of construction in Northern Xinjiang, At the critical moment, all kinds of monsters and monsters may appear in the capital. Get along well with your subordinates as soon as possible, and when the real test comes, be brave enough to fight and win."
"yes."
Then, Yao Huangxi handed Yu Youquan a token representing Dusi. With this token, Yu Youquan could receive various supplies exclusive to Dusi.
Official uniforms, official hats, regular uniforms, official seals, and some usual salaries are in the residence inside the Zhenyi Division.
As for the most important thing, he can know which department he will command based on the number on the official seal.
As for Zheng Shiyou, he also received various palm seals.
