He also didn't want to make any more troubles.
But I didn't expect that the time of his departure seemed to be estimated. Early in the morning, the entire city gate was full of people, and these people were ordinary people.
Most of the clothes are torn, but the eyes are unusually bright.
None of the thousands of people made a sound, just quietly guarding outside the city, waiting for Chen Yuan to leave the city, wanting to see him off!
In all fairness, Chen Yuan actually didn't take much care of these common people, he spent most of his time in cultivation, or was busy with other things.
Nor did he have the time to stand up for some common people, Li Shu.
What he did was just a matter of duty, but that was not the case in the eyes of the people at the bottom. They felt that Chen Yuan was a good official who really pleaded for the people.
Since Chen Yuan came to Tangshan.
Those rampant Jianghu gangs are gone, and there are very few officials who accept bribes. Jianghu warriors no longer oppress the people, and the government's tax reduction is very low.
He also opened porridge shops outside the city to continue the lives of some people who could not afford to eat.
Isn't such a person a good official?
Isn't such an official worthy of being called Qingtian?
Therefore, after hearing the news that Chen Yuan was going to be promoted to the capital, these common people felt both reluctance and joy for Chen Yuan. In the end, a certain node broke out.
Spontaneously saw Chen Yuan off.
Looking at the dark crowd in front of him, Chen Yuan's heart trembled involuntarily, and he let out a sigh of relief. To be honest, he really didn't want to be a good official.
Those Jianghu gangs disappeared because they blocked his way and wanted to join forces to kill him. In the end, they were caught by Chen Yuan and killed. Those big fish died.
Naturally, the remaining small miscellaneous fish did not dare to move.
There are very few officials who accept bribes, because he has cleaned up the officialdom and replaced them all with his own people, and those newly appointed officials dare not have the courage to stretch out their hands under his nose.
But when the water is clear, there will be no fish. Isn't it just for making money that many people work hard to become officials?
After he left, everything would gradually return to the way it was before, and now he was just coveting his power, and Chen Yuan didn't have much interest in investigating this.
As long as the other party is loyal and doesn't go too far, nothing will happen to him.
The vast majority of officials were arrested not because of corruption, but because the other party's backer was gone...
As for taxation, that is even more nonsense. The reason why Liu Zhengsong asked him to reduce the tax was only because the tax of Tangshan Prefecture had been received by the previous officials for 20 years.
The muddy legs can't scrape oil and water.
Their real targets are those clan powers with some family property. They are the big heads, rich in wealth and heavy taxes, but due to limitations, most of the common people don't know about it.
There is also the most widely circulated porridge shed to help the common people. Chen Yuan didn't know about it at all, and it was all done by Liu Zhengsong.
It's just that it was pressed on Chen Yuan's body.
Furthermore, the establishment of porridge sheds by the government is not to support idlers. It must do things for the government, such as reclaiming fertile land, or building roads and cities.
Most of Liu Zhengsong's political achievements were actually passed on to Chen Yuan. This was because Liu Zhengsong was grateful for Chen Yuan's kindness, but most of it was because those storytellers portrayed Chen Yuan's image so well.
It is simply reincarnation.
Those common people who don't have much knowledge, once passed on to ten, ten to hundreds, and hundreds to thousands, combined with the changes around them, they naturally deified Chen Yuan.
Heaving a sigh of relief, Chen Yuan didn't miss this good opportunity, and bowed his hands solemnly towards the people in front of him:
"It is my blessing, Chen Yuan, to be sent off by all my fathers and fellow villagers when I leave office."
"Chen Qingshi."
"Chen Qingshi..."
There was a burst of shouting.
An old figure was leaning on a cane, and with the support of several people, he walked to the front of the crowd, holding a colorful umbrella in his hand, and said:
"Chen Qingshi, this is an umbrella prepared by the people of Tangshan for Qingshi. I hope Qingshi will accept it."
Chen Yuan fell slowly from the void, supported the old man with his own hands, and said sincerely:
"Gift from the elders, I dare not say goodbye, Chen Yuan thank you all."
Then he looked at everyone, bowed his hands solemnly, and said loudly:
"I accept your wishes. It is not in vain for Tangshan to have such a common people. All of you...please go back."
After finishing speaking, Chen Yuan stepped out and came back to the void. Looking at a beautiful figure watching him not far away, he said via voice transmission:
"Be kind to the people."
A good reputation is still very necessary. Since he doesn't spend much time on this matter, why not do it?
In the future, perhaps these popularity will be a big help for him.
Then, Chen Yuan took a deep breath, and Yu Kong left.
Thousands of people in the dark looked at the stream of light going away, and said in unison:
"Congratulations to Chen Qingshi!"
"Congratulations to envoy Chen Qing..."
On this day, Chen Yuan left Tangshan, and the reputation of people sending officials to officials spread all over Qingzhou...
Chapter 416 The key
After leaving Tangshan Mansion, Chen Yuan came to Nanling Mansion City again along the only way to meet Zhang Xuan. The first thing he asked when they met was when Chen Yuan broke through.
In just a few days, he didn't expect that Chen Yuan had already formed the Heavenly Pill quietly, although Chen Yuan had already said this before.
But Zhang Xuan was still surprised.
Chen Yuan didn't say much, but just told him about the progress of the breakthrough. With Zhang Xuan's background, there was absolutely no shortage of these things.
Usually, from a young age, the sons of officials like him would take medicinal baths and accept the teachings of their family or their father, but Chen Yuan still said that these things are not harmful.
Zhang Xuan's attitude was also very dignified. After listening to the breakthrough process in detail, there was a bit of envy and helplessness in his words.
Again.
The gap between them is getting wider and wider. Whenever he sees Chen Yuan's cultivation base soaring, he will think of the situation more than a year ago, when he was at the peak of Tiangang.
After Chen Yuan came to Nanling Mansion, he first entered Ninggang cultivation base.
When he returned from the breakthrough, Chen Yuan had already reached the same level as him. When he broke through Tianyuan and entered the middle stage of Tongxuan, Chen Yuan had already broken through the Tiangong.
And then...he was still in the Heavenly Palace, and the other party had now formed a real pill and officially stepped into the realm of a master.
If he waits for him to step into the alchemy realm, what realm will Chen Yuan reach?
Zhang Xuan didn't dare to think about it. The more he thought about it, the more he was shocked and curious about Chen Yuan's talent. Obviously, Chen Yuan's talent before was very ordinary.
Why did it suddenly become so scary?
God favored?
"Congratulations to brother Chen for forming a real pill." Zhang Xuan cupped his hands solemnly.
"Brother Zhang has to hurry up!"
Chen Yuan smiled.
Zhang Xuan shook his head slightly and sighed:
"The gap between you and me will only get bigger and bigger. Compared with someone like you, it is simply torture."
"It's serious."
"Brother Chen, can there be a vision when he forms a pill?"
"Brother Zhang, what do you think?"
Chen Yuan looked at him with a half-smile and said.
"I guess there is, but I don't know what kind of vision it is?"
Chen Yuan pondered for a moment, then whispered:
"When Chen formed the alchemy, a bright moon rose."
"The moon rises from the sea?"
"Exactly."
It's not that Chen Yuan doesn't believe in Zhang Xuan, it's just that the vision of purple energy coming from the east is too frightening, purple is the most precious thing in the world, if this news spreads.
There are bound to be some waves.
It's better to be cautious.
This is what Jiang He and others warned him before. It is best not to disclose this matter to others. Anyway, no one has paid attention to this except for a few Taoist masters of the Taoist Palace.
"Brother Chen is really..." Zhang Xuan smiled wryly:
"Talent is rare in the world."
"It's nothing special."
Zhang Xuan stared at Chen Yuan, not wanting to suffer further blows, and immediately changed the subject:
"Which father-in-law announced the decree this time?"
"Yang Yuanqing."
"It's him?"
Zhang Xuan frowned, as if he was a little surprised.
"Why, Brother Zhang recognizes this person?"
"I do recognize it, but I'm not very familiar with it."
"Tell me..."
Zhang Xuan laughed out loud:
"It's nothing, but I'm a little shocked that His Majesty thinks so much about Brother Chen, and even asked a master of alchemy to announce the decree. This Yang Yuanqing is not an unknown person.
He is the confidant eunuch next to His Majesty. It is said that he has a lot of power in the palace, and is extremely relied on by several concubines in the harem. Of course, these powers all come from his foster father Cao Zhengxian. "
Chen Yuan nodded, saying that he had never heard of Yang Yuanqing, after all, he lived in the palace and was still a eunuch, so he had no reputation in the world.
But if he talked about Cao Zhengxian, he would have some understanding.
Not only did I hear about it from Zhang Xuan before, but in Jianghu, this chief executive, the supervisor of the imperial supervisor, and the owner of the factory are also very famous, and he has served three emperors so far.
Gradually growing from a small eunuch to an astonishingly powerful chief executive, it is indeed difficult for people not to notice.
The reputation in the capital is particularly prosperous. According to some anecdotes told by Zhang Xuan, the best way for some concubines to ask for Jingtai's blessing is to open up the relationship with Governor Cao.
Although it can't be said that the power is in the hands of the government and the public, it is also extremely extraordinary, especially in recent years Jingtai has deliberately weakened the power of the Xuntian Division and distributed it to the Imperial Supervision Division.
"Brother Zhang thought too much, the news of Chen's alchemy has not been spread, His Majesty must not know, how could it be possible to send a personal eunuch to make a special trip for me?
The other party had another purpose. According to Chen's deduction, Yang Yuanqing's purpose should be the south. "
Chen Yuan pointed in a direction.
Zhang Xuan immediately understood that if the personal eunuch who was in the alchemy realm made a special trip to proclaim the decree, apart from a few great gold envoys, it would be the Zhennan King in the south.
Although he is relatively low-key in the arena, being able to call himself a king with a different surname is enough to show his ability.
"It seems that there is another moth in southern border." Zhang Xuan smiled.
Although the southern border is not like the northern barbarians knocking on the pass every year, there are countless strong monsters hidden in the vast mountains, although the Great Chu Dynasty launched a war to destroy the monsters hundreds of years ago.
But after hundreds of years of rest and recuperation, the other party probably has recovered his vitality. There have been many demon turmoil in the Central Plains in these years.
The reason why there is no large scale is also because the Zhennan King led hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers to suppress it.
Chen Yuan smiled and didn't say much.
Whether the world is chaotic or not has nothing to do with him, and even more chaotic is more in line with the vision of an ambitious man like him. If the world is not chaotic, how can there be heroes?
The only ones who are hurt are those Limin people.
"Brother Chen's entry into Beijing this time may reach a new height. Zhang is here to congratulate him first."
"We need to rely more on Zhang Shenshi."
