I Just Won't Play by the Book - Chapter 406

406 Taking In A Disciple
After learning more about the situation in the Sheng Kingdom from Muyao, Jiang Beiran realized that his plan was going more smoothly than he had imagined. Lulin County was indeed slowly evolving into what he had imagined.

“In addition, although things have not been as smooth in Chongyang County as in Lulin County, the lives of the people have improved a lot. Emperor, do you think we should promote this new policy to the entire Sheng Country?”

“Of course not.” Jiang Beiran vetoed.

“Why?” ” Yangchong and Lulin are the envy of the other counties,” Muyao asked in confusion.” There are even people from other counties sneaking into Lulin after going through so many hardships. This proves that your policies have been successful, Your Majesty.”

Glancing at Muyao, Jiang Beiran shook his head and said,””I really don’t know what you’ve learned after reading books for so long and practicing politics for so long.”

!!
“I…” Muyao was about to retort, but she remembered that she had never won against the emperor before, so she lowered her head to hear what she had done wrong.

“The reason why Lulin County can implement the new policies so smoothly is because I prioritized the resources there. In other words, I used the entire country’s strength to help it develop. Otherwise, where do you think so much money and food came from?”
“As for Chongyang County, as the number one county in the Feng Province where the Masked Moon Sect is located, they have extremely good resources. Therefore, there is not much resistance to the implementation of the new policy. As for the other counties…If there was a sudden influx of refugees, the food supply alone would be a big problem. Do you understand now?”

“Got it.” Muyao nodded.” Then…What about the other counties?”

“You will know when the time is right.”

As soon as Jiang Beiran finished speaking, there was a sudden knock on the door.

“Enter.” Jiang Beiran said.

With a creak, the wooden door was pushed open and Kong Qianqian walked in with her hands covering her butt.”Reporting to the emperor, the beating is over.”

“Yes, is there anything else?”

Kong Qianqian was just about to say,”No more” when she suddenly remembered something and shouted,”Reporting to Your Majesty, there is indeed something. There is a person called Hong Yaxuan who has been wanting to visit you for the past three months. She claims to be the disciple of the Sect Master of Lan Country’s Four Square Sect.””

Upon hearing Hong Yaxuan’s name, Jiang Beiran raised an eyebrow and asked,””Did she say what she was here for?”

“She said that she came to offer her assistance to the emperor on behalf of their sect master. This servant kept telling her to leave the thing behind and this servant would report it to the emperor, but she was unwilling and said that she had to personally give it to you.”

‘Congratulations…’ Jiang Beiran nodded secretly after hearing that. He finally understood why Hong Yaxuan was here.

“When was the last time she came?”

“Yes.” Kong Qianqian counted with her fingers.” It should be five days ago. She said that she would come back ten days later.”

“Zhen understands, you may leave.”

“This servant will obey.” Kong Qianqian left the royal study after she finished speaking.

When the door to the royal study closed, Muyao kept peeking at the Emperor.

“If you have something to say, just say it.” said Jiang Beiran, who was flipping through a memorial.

Muyao hesitated for a moment before asking,””Emperor, do you know that Hong Yaxuan?”

“We met once.”

“Is that all? Why do I feel like…”

Muyao was halfway through her sentence when she saw Jiang Beiran glaring at her. Knowing that she couldn’t ask any more questions, she could only say in her heart,””I wonder whose young lady is going to suffer again…”

At night, Jiang Beiran stood outside the palace and gazed at the galaxy, thinking about how he could most effectively maintain his barrier.

“Greetings, Emperor.”

As he was thinking, a figure came up to Jiang Beiran and cupped his hands. It was Li Fucheng, who was going to meet the Mystique Venerable One tomorrow.

“You look much more capable.” Jiang Beiran said as he sized up Lifu City.

If Li Fu City had been like a scholar before going to the Country of Liang, then after coming back this time, his aura had become as sharp as a martial artist.

Hearing Brother Wang’s praise, Li Fucheng pulled down the scarf that covered half of his face and replied with a smile,””The Liang Kingdom is too chaotic. We are often inexplicably involved in wars, and the number of times we fight with others is far more than in the Sheng Kingdom.”

Looking at the sword wound on the right side of Lifucheng’s face that was still recovering, Jiang Beiran took out a wooden box and handed it to her.””Tu Tu Tu”,”Tu Tu Tu”,”Tu Tu Tu”,”Tu Tu Tu Tu”,”Tu Tu Tu Tu”,”Tu Tu Tu Tu Tu”,”Tu Tu Tu Tu Tu”,”Tu Tu Tu Tu”,”Tu”,”Tu Tu Tu”,”Tu Tu Tu Tu Tu Tu Tu”,”Tu Tu Tu”,”Tu”,”Tu Tu”,”Tu”,”Tu”,”Tu”,”Tu”,”Tu”,”Tu”,”Tu”,”Tu”,”Tu”,”Tu”,” Tu”,” Tu”,” Tu”,” Tu”,” Tu”,” Tu”,” Tu”,” Tu,” Tu,” Tu,” Tu,” Tu”,” Tu,” Tu,” Tu,” Tu, Tu,” Tu,”,” Tu,” Tu,” Tu, Tu,”,”,” Tu,” Tu,” Tu, Tu,”,” Tu,” Tu,”,” Tu, Tu, Tu, Tu, Tu, Tu, Tu,”,” Tu, Tu”

“Many thanks for the emperor’s concern, but…” Li Fucheng touched the wound and said softly,””Let it stay. It will always remind me of this lesson.”

Jiang Beiran didn’t ask any more questions after hearing that. He quietly put away the wooden box and asked,””Is everything going well?”

“It went smoothly…It could even be said to be unexpectedly smooth.”

“Oh? What do you mean?” Creditor

“I originally thought that it would take some effort for us to sneak into the Country of Liang, but I didn’t expect that we wouldn’t encounter any obstacles along the way. We easily arrived at a county and settled down. Later on, I originally planned to investigate the provinces and counties we were in and then slowly plan. However, it didn’t seem like I got involved in a big war and got to know a forthright Fort Master. That Fort Master didn’t ask where we came from. He arranged a place for us just because we had a similar temperament. It allowed us to quickly find a foothold.”

‘Is this the protagonist’s halo…’

Although Jiang Jiang Beiran had thought that going to Liang from Lifu City wouldn’t be too difficult, he didn’t expect it to be so easy. It was as if someone had paved the way for him.
