Fairy, Please Let Me Explain

Change means conflict, and conflict means death.

Everything that is happening now, whether it is the barbarian battle with countless casualties, or the current undercurrent in the three northern continents, or these common people who died late at night without anyone paying attention, is just a prologue.

As long as one of the sect, the royal family, or the prime minister's office does not give in, many, many people are destined to die in the future.

Looking at it this way, these deaths really don't mean anything now.

but

"You misunderstood."

Listening to Li Yunqing's teasing question, Xu Yuan's eyes slowly fell under the tower.

He looked at these bustling people who were struggling to survive for a few coins, and his voice was very soft:

"Yunqing, why do you think those two people took this path now?"

Li Yunqing narrowed his eyes and then smiled:

"Sweep across the world and bring peace to the world."

Xu Yuan smiled slightly and shook his head:

"You are talking about the ideals of these two old people, and I was just asking about the reason why they had this ideal."

Saying,

Xu Yuan glanced back at the sitting third prince and asked:

"Isn't it because of these low-level commoners? Isn't it because we want this world to be free of evil and man-made disasters, and to have a peaceful and prosperous world where they can live and work in peace and contentment?"

"Sacrifice is indeed necessary on this path, but being accustomed to sacrifice does not mean that you can be numb."

A flash of complexity flashed in Li Yunqing's eyes, then returned to normal, shook his head and chuckled:

"Then I hope you can keep your true intentions."

Xu Yuan took a deep breath, sat down next to Li Yunqing, and said with a smile:

"Some things are far away. I was indeed a little angry just now, but it was not because of the death of the common man, but because of the inaction of the officials in the county, which made me feel a sense of powerlessness."

Li Yunqing's expression became a little strange:

"How can a county magistrate, the largest official in the county, who is no more than a seventh-grade magistrate, make you, the third young master, feel powerless?"

Xu Yuan turned around and stared into the eyes of the third prince and asked:

"One county magistrate is not enough, but how many county magistrates are there in Dayan?"

"."

Li Yunqing suddenly fell silent.

Xu Yuan also stopped talking for a while.

He thought of the fearful look that the common man looked at him just now.

Standing up and not allowed to kneel is a natural conflict with the feudal dynasty, but Xu Yuan feels that at least it should not be so fearful.

This is a kind of fear that life and death are completely unprotected and may be beaten and killed at any time.

Knowing the writing at a glance,

If we continue to explore the root cause of this scene, we will get a reality that makes people think deeply.

The laws of Great Flame are collapsing.

The root cause of these collapses was the thousands of grassroots officials in the Dayan Dynasty.

This is really powerless.

Sitting on the city gate tower and looking at the rising sun slowly rising on the eastern skyline, Xu Yuan sighed softly:

"I always thought that there were cultivators sent from the court to supervise, and these grassroots county magistrates didn't dare to defy the rules. Now it seems that I have taken it for granted."

Li Yunqing chuckled lightly, lay down directly on the city gate tower, put his hands behind his head, and said casually:

"You, the pampered Third Young Master, have never dealt with Mudlegzi. In fact, the current problem with grassroots officialdom is not the county magistrate, but the gentry in the city.

"My king, who leads the Royal Chamber of Commerce, often has to deal with the indigenous people in these places. Through a series of means such as marriage, intermarriage, and affiliation with industries, they have been operating in one place for several generations, or even more than a dozen generations, and have long been entrenched.

"Except for the officials parachuted in from the imperial court, the rest of the officials are basically monopolized by them. Most county magistrates have to cooperate with these people to implement administrative orders. Once cooperation tastes sweet, they will basically tacitly agree with these people. "

"The same applies to the supervision of cultivators sent by the imperial court. After all, cultivation also costs money."

"."

After listening carefully to Li Yunqing's complaints, Xu Yuan had a hint of surprise in his eyes.

In his opinion, compared to the sects that held military power, these grassroots gentry were just a bunch of pigs waiting to be slaughtered.

After all, it is easy for the royal family in the extraordinary world to massacre some secular wealthy families.

But as soon as this thought crossed his mind, he was immediately dismissed.

He suddenly understood what Li Yunqing meant.

Humans are creatures of desire.

It's easy to kill these people, but new ones will quickly grow.

These matters are not the main contradiction at this stage. As long as these grassroots officials are generally obedient and do not violate the court's decrees, then these dirty things will still be within the scope of the court's tacit approval.

Thinking of this, Xu Yuan breathed out lightly.

Li Yunqing glanced at Xu Yuan's expression and asked with a smile:

"Changtian, what are you going to do?"

Hearing this, Xu Yuan glanced sideways, raised the corners of his lips, and asked:

"What do you think I would do?"

Li Yunqing touched his chin and grinned:

"With your temperament, you probably won't tolerate these things."

"really."

Xu Yuan nodded and stood up on his knees: "Now that you have seen some things, you can't ignore them."

Li Yunqing also sat up and asked with interest:

"What are you going to do?"

"Lou Ji has just gone to the county government here."

"."Li Yunqing.

After a moment of silence for the gentry and officials in Huizhou County, Li Yunqing immediately stood up and prepared to leave the tower:

"In this case, I will excuse myself first."

Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows and asked softly:

"What are you doing?"

Li Yunqing looked back:

"You have to deal with the dirty things here. I don't have any lofty ideals. But when you come here, let's experience the local customs."

The words fell,

Li Yunqing chuckled and then jumped up.

Li Yunqing lied.

He did not go to the land of Yanliu to experience the customs and customs of Huizhou County as he said. After leaving Xu Yuan's sight, he wandered around Huizhou County aimlessly.

Huizhou County is the most common small county town in the north. The glitz of the night has dissipated and everything has become dull.

There are brick and wood structures on both sides of the road. The open market has gradually been occupied by vegetable farmers and vendors who come to the city for the market. Occasionally, you can see a luxurious-looking carriage passing by on the street. The rouge smell coming from it is probably from someone. The young master just spent the night in a brothel.

Walking on the street, looking at the various people around him and feeling the smell of fireworks in the market, Li Yunqing's idle eyes were still thinking about the conversation just now.

Li Yunqing had actually never thought deeply about what he and Xu Changtian had said on the city tower before.

After all, these things were described like this in the books on statecraft he had read, and the teachers at the Imperial College taught him this way, and this was also the way he came into contact with reality after taking over the Chamber of Commerce.

Officials protect each other and gentry collude. This is the basis of the official administration in Dayan.

Has a shadowy side, but can keep things going.

This has been true for thousands of years, it was true a hundred years ago, it is true now, and it should be true in the future.

After the conversation just now, Li Yunqing suddenly couldn't understand what the third young master was thinking.

That boy,

Some of the things I pursue in my heart seem to be more ambitious than what the two fathers want to achieve.

Thinking of this, Li Yunqing stopped and looked up at the sky where the mist had been dispersed by the warm sun, his eyes a little complicated.

After staring blankly at the sky for a few breaths, Li Yunqing sighed softly, but then curled his lips again.

He felt it was unrealistic, but a messed up person like him was not qualified to dictate to others.

Although I'm not optimistic about it, I hope that guy can keep his original intention.

"Your Highness."

Just as he was thinking, a voice like an orchid interrupted Li Yunqing's thoughts and sounded in his ears.

Hearing this voice, Li Yunqing's face did not change at all, and he did not reply. He walked along the market street, bypassed the most prosperous blocks, and turned into an alley.

The alleys are long and thin with green bricks and stone tiles, and are deserted. On both sides of the narrow passage are towering courtyard walls.

Continuing to go tens of feet deeper and turning several crossroads, Li Yunqing stopped in front of a closed courtyard gate with stone bricks and red walls.

When he opened the door, there were many flowers and plants in the courtyard, and there was already a voluptuous woman waiting for him.

The moment she saw Li Yunqing, the enchanting woman in the courtyard immediately bowed:

"Your Highness, you are here."

Li Yunqing walked into the courtyard and looked around:

"You just arrived yesterday, right? Where did you get this yard?"

The enchanting woman glanced at the inner room and said softly:

"Borrowing someone else's temporarily."

Li Yunqing raised his eyebrows and glanced at the inner room of the courtyard. After sensing that there were two unconscious mortals inside, he shook his head slightly:

"Remember to keep it a secret."

The enchanting woman narrowed her beautiful eyes and nodded:

"yes."

"Don't kill anyone."

"." Charming woman.

Walking to the stone table in the courtyard and sitting down, Li Yunqing patted his thigh with a smile:

"Come here, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I still miss you a little."

The enchanting woman's beautiful eyes flashed and her face turned slightly red. She stepped forward slowly, hooked her arms around Li Yunqing's neck, and sat on his thigh with her butt raised.

Li Yunqing conveniently held the enchanting woman's slender waist and asked with a smile:

"How did you investigate the information I gave you earlier?"

The enchanting woman hesitated slightly when she heard the words and whispered:

"That Third Young Master Xu must have encountered something when he came here."

"oh?"

There was a sound of suspicion in the silent courtyard, but there was no trace of surprise in Li Yunqing's eyes.

With the foot power of Xuanying Pavilion, he could fly directly back to Di'an City without repair, but Xu Yuan chose to settle in Huizhou County.

He wouldn't believe it if there was nothing fishy about it.

Thinking about it, he exerted a little force on his hands, frowned and asked:

"But assassination?"

"Most likely." The enchanting woman felt the dishonesty of the other person's palm on her body, endured the trembling, and responded: "Besides, I'm afraid the person coming here has a very high level of cultivation."

Li Yunqing couldn't help but sigh when he heard this:

"Tsk, if you really come, do you know which force it is?"

The enchanting woman was silent for a while and said softly:

"I don't know about this, but I followed the message left by Your Highness. I noticed the aura of the Saint of Jiantian Pavilion leaving near Pingye Mausoleum a few days ago."
