I Just Won't Play by the Book - Chapter 362
362 Change… Begins
Liu Zijin stood up again and continued,””Because other than the big families, most carriages are used to deliver goods. Therefore, the carriage on the same track can greatly increase the efficiency of the caravan’s transportation.”
The three Yu Sisters couldn’t help but clap.””As expected of Senior Brother, to think of such a powerful idea.”
“It’s really fast.”Fang Qiuyao sighed.
“That’s right. I heard that Shixiong gathered the power of a country to change Lulin County.”
“Ugh, I wonder when we can help senior brother…”
!!
Fang Qiuyao muttered to herself.
In the Imperial Palace, Jiang Beiran was sitting in his study reading the memorials sent by the various towns in Lulin County. From the descriptions in the memorials, it seemed that the infrastructure of Lulin County was being built smoothly, and all aspects were progressing well.
“Beautiful, very beautiful.”
Putting down the memorial, Jiang Beiran began to imagine the city and town that would be filled with fireworks in the future. His heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment.
After marking the memorial, Jiang Beiran took out a letter from his pocket. It was sent by the Left Prime Minister of the Masked Moon Sect, Tai Yingzong, at noon. He said that a batch of good wine had just been released from the cellar and invited him to taste it.
Naturally, Jiang Beiran did not believe that Tai Yingzong would really invite him out for a drink. After all, their friendship was not that deep.
‘It shouldn’t be that you want me to help divide the territory again, right?’
However, from the fact that the system did not give him any notifications, it should not be the case.
She didn’t continue to think about it any further. She watched as Jiang Beiran, who was about to arrive at the Masked Moon Sect, boarded the Soaring Cloud.
After being brought to the conference hall by the gatekeeping disciple, Jiang Beiran went in to greet the few higher-ups of the Masked Moon Sect and found that Guan Shi ‘an was not there.
‘Is he still in seclusion…’
She seemed to have sensed that Jiang Beiran was looking for something. Tai Ying Zong stood up and said,”The Sect Master has yet to come out of seclusion. I’m the one who invited Your Majesty to drink with me.””
Jiang Jiang Beiran cupped his fists at Tai Yingzong again and said,””I’ve long heard that the Masked Moon Sect’s Ten Thousand Year Spring is incomparably fragrant. This time, I’m truly grateful to Left Minister Tai for inviting me here.”
“You’re welcome. Please take a seat.”
As they sat down, a maid quickly brought a jug of fine wine to Jiang Beiran.
“Please.” They gestured at each other.
Jiang Beiran picked up the wine pot and poured himself a cup of wine. Although Jiang Beiran’s words were a little flattering, this Wannianchun was indeed a rare spirit wine in the Sheng Kingdom. Not only did it taste mellow, but it also nourished all the meridians in the body after entering the stomach, making one feel extremely comfortable.
“Good wine.” Jiang Beiran said as he slowly put down his cup.
“As long as the emperor likes it.” Tai Yingzong also drank a cup after he finished speaking.
He closed his eyes and took a good look. After a long while, Tai Yingzong opened his eyes again and said to Jiang Beiran,””I’ve already seen the changes in Lulin County with my own eyes. It’s very interesting, and it’s indeed in line with what you said. So, besides inviting you for a cup of wine, I also hope that you can implement the same transformation in Chongyang County.”
‘So it’s about this.’
Jiang Beiran had already guessed that Tai Yingzong was not simply treating him to a drink, so he was not surprised by Tai Yingzong’s sudden request.
“Of course not.” Jiang Beiran smiled and nodded.
Chongyang County was the number one town in Feng Province. If he could complete the reform, it would be a good start for the transformation of the entire Feng Province in the future.
“Good, straightforward enough.” “Then I’ll arrange for you to meet the various clan leaders of Chongyang County later.”
Jiang Beiran cupped his fists and replied,”I would like Left Minister Tai to send someone who can intimidate the other clan leaders to negotiate with me.””
“Hahaha, you’re really thoughtful. No problem. I’ll arrange it for you later. Come, let’s drink!”
Raising the wine glass in his hand, Jiang Beiran once again downed the Wannianchun in one gulp.
As they were discussing more details, Tai Yingzong was suddenly summoned out. When he returned, he could not help but shake his head and say,”Bei Ran, do you know that there is a group of young geniuses in Feng Province who are causing trouble for the sects and the Demon Cult?”
Jiang Beiran’s heart skipped a beat when he heard that. He felt that the young talents he was talking about were probably the same group of people he was thinking of.
“This… I’m not too sure. I wonder which young talents made Left Minister Tai shake his head and frown?”
After hesitating for a moment, Tai Yingzong said,””I believe that the Emperor understands that some families will ignore the laws of the Imperial Court and recruit some commoners for their use. These young talents are dedicated to fighting injustice for these things. Moreover, their power is getting stronger and stronger, and many disciples from various sects and religions have joined them.”
‘Yes… It’s the World Association.
After changing his sitting position, Jiang Beiran asked,””May I know why Left Minister Tai is in a difficult position?”
” These young talents fight for the commoners all day long and have injured many members of the sects and clans. When the sects stand up for those clans, they realize that they are only dealing with disciples they know. If they kill them, it will inevitably cause enmity with the sects that these disciples belong to. Let’s not kill them…She couldn’t just watch him kill her family members without any fear.”
“In the end, those sect masters threw this difficult problem to us. How can we not be worried?”
“It does sound rather troublesome.” Jiang Beiran nodded.
Rubbing the bridge of his nose, Tai Yingzong suddenly turned to Jiang Beiran and said,””I wonder how the emperor would deal with this matter?”
“The only way is for the major sects and the Demon Cult to strictly discipline these young talents so that they can’t be so lawless.”
“Sigh, although this method is the simplest and most effective, the young disciples nowadays are too unruly. It’s fine to scold him a little, but if you insist on stopping him from doing this, those who are more hot-blooded will have to hand over the sect token and leave the sect.”
“This…”
Jiang Beiran couldn’t think of any way to restrain these brats.
“Emperor, your plan is destined to be carried out throughout the entire Sheng Country. At that time, these sects will naturally be obedient. If you think like this, not only will those young talents do useless work in the future, there will even be unnecessary sacrifices.”
“Then I wonder if Left Minister Tai has any good ideas?”
“If there was a good way to suppress me, why would I be worried here and ask the emperor?””
Jiang Beiran chuckled and shook his head.””It’s really not easy being the Left Minister of the First Sect. You have to worry about the entire Fengzhou.”
“Sigh, let’s not talk about these troublesome things. Come, come, let’s drink.”
“Sigh, although this method is the simplest and most effective, the young disciples nowadays are too unruly. It’s fine to scold him a little, but if you insist on stopping him from doing this, those who are more hot-blooded will have to hand over the sect token and leave the sect.”
