Entertainment of Spring and Autumn

Chapter 476: Hold it in your hand

"Although Lingzhou is not as big as theirs, it is still a large county. It has an area of ​​nearly a thousand miles and beautiful mountains and rivers. It has eight counties under its jurisdiction. The whole county has a population of nearly three million. There are eight counties in and around Lingzhou City alone. More than 100,000." Zhang Bailing knew that Xue Mu, the city lord, actually knew nothing about the situation in Lingzhou, so he patiently gave Xue Mu a detailed introduction: "Martial arts schools of various martial arts sects in the territory are distributed in various mountains and regions, including Xingyue Sect and other demonic schools. Including the gate station, there are a total of sixty-eight sects with a mixed influence. There are also countless large and small families, including those who moved here due to the Yizhou Rebellion before, some who prefer martial arts, some who prefer business, and some who prefer Production, to name a few.”

Xue Mu nodded: "Xue just came to Lingzhou and heard people say that this is a place with chaotic power, but it is very rich."

"Chaos was in the past." Zhang Bailing smiled: "Since the rise of Xingyue, the situation here has long been stable, and every family has acquiesced that they are just making a living at the foot of Xingyue Mountain. To be honest, many righteous sects are also waiting. The Marquis will give you an explanation, if they want to establish a foundation with the Demon Sect, then they have also made preparations to move."

"No need... In the future, Xingyue Mountain Gate will be built on Xingye Mountain outside Ye County. After all, the city is not a good place for the gate. But Lingzhou County will be our political and economic backing. I don't want to imitate their lonely mountains. Outside, it is the practice of breaking away from the mortal world. Regardless of the position of good and evil, as long as they do not oppose us, we will not only not expel them, but will provide them with shelter. In my Lingzhou, they are Lingzhou people."

Zhang Bailing said with a smile: "Master Hou has a broad mind."

"Stop flattering me like this." Xue Mu sighed: "To be honest, I have absolutely no idea about the local development in the world of martial arts. I didn't ask about anything before, not just because I didn't want to get caught up in the political vortex, but Really not, I subconsciously avoid it. And now since I want to build the foundation of Lingzhou, I can’t continue to let it go. I must at least form a cohesive force so that the people of Lingzhou can recognize the rule of Xingyue Sect. Can Governor Zhang teach me?"

"Xiaguan doesn't know why Lord Hou specifically mentioned 'local development in the world of martial arts'. Could it be that there are other worlds..." Before Xue Mu could answer, Zhang Bailing said directly: "In fact, in Xiaguan's view, no matter what life, everyone The things we value are the same.”

"Appreciate further details."

"The first thing is to have enough food and clothing. This is basically not a problem in Lingzhou. Lingzhou is rich and there are very few poor people... so Mr. Hou's previous actions happened to be in line with the rhythm. Lingzhou people just need spiritual entertainment. In Mr. Hou Before coming here, music clubs had already formed spontaneously. After Mr. Hou came, he pushed this to a peak and met people's needs. Meng Lan's reputation as a fairy rose at the right time, in a war-torn world. When you are barren, who cares about you and what a fairy you are.”

Xue Mu nodded and said, "In addition to material and spiritual needs?"

"Of course, it is the pursuit of martial arts, which gives everyone a goal and a way to pursue better resources, better exercises, and better martial arts. The earlier Lingzhou martial arts competition was one of them. Perhaps the Marquis had another There is a purpose, but I didn't realize that that competition gathered a lot of people's hearts. As long as we continue this line of thinking and launch several similar measures, the people of Lingzhou will definitely only follow the lead of the Xingyue Sect." Zhang Bailing said leisurely: "To put it bluntly, the Zhengdao Sect Affiliates at all levels of the sect, in addition to seeking shelter, are also looking for a way to advance in martial arts? Otherwise, who would want to be bossed around by the superiors, and the accumulated resources must be donated in various ways, and it is not a shame."

"That makes sense... It turns out that many of my measures were unintentional and unexpectedly achieved extra results. It was just luck." Xue Muke politely continued to add tea to Zhang Bailing: "After hearing what you said, Xue suddenly became enlightened and saw a lot clearly. . I hope you will continue to teach me.”

Xue Mu's attitude made Zhang Bailing very comfortable. He was originally a defeated general, and was forced to join Xue Mu. He thought he would not be humiliated, even because Meng Lan was his concubine. Unexpectedly, he received such respect and attention, and Zhang Bailing felt a little touched by his knowledge. sigh.

Maybe following Xue Mu you can really show off your talents.

He continued: "Materials are abundant enough, martial arts has a ladder, and spirituality has leisure... Then as long as you are a person, you will pursue a more comfortable living environment and a fairer atmosphere. In the opinion of the following officials, the Marquis can give priority to it now. In terms of combating corruption and urban construction. This kind of political performance is very effective, whether it is to deal with evaluations or to raise hopes for the government and the public, it is of great benefit."

Xue Mu avoided the banquet and saluted: "Qu Zhang is the governor of a mere county. It is Ji Qingyuan's loss."

No wonder Meng Lan's qualities were better than ordinary people, and she stood out among the outer disciples at first. Coming from such a bureaucratic family, one really has some skills...

…

Instructing Meng Lan to send Zhang Bailing away, Xue Mu was in a good mood. Originally, I had no idea what to do after returning to Lingzhou, but now I really feel enlightened.

He was still humming a little tune all the way back to the bedroom. When Meng Lan was serving her at noon, the feeling that things were not going to be fun was completely gone. This time, he started to feel itchy to have more fun.

This is what the so-called full and warm thoughts are like...

As a result, the bedroom was empty this time. Xue Mu looked out strangely and asked the guard girl: "Where is Qingqing?"

"Sister Qingqing was called to help by Uncle Wei Ye. She is studying how to designate the center of gravity of the virtual and real formation."

"Hmm..." Xue Mu looked at the pretty guards and knew that it would be easy for him to call any of them, but he still couldn't say the words. He shook his head helplessly: "It's okay then."

Whatever... It's rare to have some peace and quiet, so let's plan a new album for Luo Qianxue.

Xue Mu picked up his pen, rolled out a roll of paper, pondered for a moment, and wrote: "The second series of Qianshan Muxue is planned: emphasizing storytelling, one song for each story, laying the foundation for the stage play. The title song..."

He raised his head and thought for a long time, and Xiahou Di's bright red cloak gradually appeared in front of his eyes.

Xue Mu pursed his lips and wrote: "Fox Yan."

"Nian Bai: Did you know that the capital has been busy recently? The new agent from the six gates is a little girl in red."

"The little girl is so good at being a police officer, and how decent it is to beat and kill her. Wait until I take action to save her prodigal son~ turn around!"

As he wrote, a smile appeared on Xue Mu's lips unconsciously. I wonder what Xia Houdi's reaction would be when he heard such a song?

Suddenly a little head popped out from beside him: "Sir, what is Nian Bai?"

Xue Mu put down his pen amusedly: "You will scare people to death if you suddenly come out like this."

Luo Qianxue muttered: "You asked me to come to your room at night..."

Xue Mu turned his head and looked at her red face, but said nothing. Luo Qianxue lowered her head, almost falling to her chest.

They had played like this when they were in Luzhou... At that time, Luo Qianxue was carefree and had a question on his forehead, "Are you a master of both talents?" But today she was extremely shy, and she knew this was different.

Even Xue Mu's eyes were different today, with obvious desire hidden in them. Luo Qianxue knew that she was really here to see him off today, so she willingly warmed his bed and slept with him.

"Isn't it just for sleeping..." Luo Qianxue's voice was as thin as a mosquito: "Sister Qingqing can do it, so can I."

Xue Mu reached out and hugged her on his lap. Luo Qianxue's body was trembling slightly and she was extremely nervous.

Xue Mu leaned against the side of her pink neck, kissed and smelled it gently, and whispered: "Qianxue... you should have been mine a long time ago..."

Luo Qianxue endured the tingling feeling and gasped: "Young master, this person is hypocritical... Qianxue was obviously willing at the beginning, but she insisted on delaying it until now to do the exact same thing that should have been done long ago..."

"Is it really the same?"

Luo Qianxue cried a little: "Young Master is the worst monster in the world. Others only want their bodies, but Young Master wants to hold people's hearts in his hands."
