Evergreen Immortal

The tenth day of the first lunar month.

The New Year atmosphere in Qinghe completely disappeared, and the days became ordinary again.

Li Rui got up early, and walked through the great cycle of Qi in the room before opening the door.

Standing under the tree in the courtyard, his Qi and blood were harmonious and smooth, and they were restrained and flowing freely.

The next moment!

He pushed forward with both hands.

Faintly, it seemed that a dragon roar was heard.

Bang!

With a loud bang, a huge rock ten feet away was filled with smoke and dust, and pieces of rubble were exploded. When the smoke and dust dissipated, two handprints were seen on the huge rock, which were two feet deep.

"What a powerful force!"

Li Rui's eyes lit up.

The dragon form was a small success, and the power of the true Qi gradually emerged. This palm could break the bones and muscles of the enemy within ten feet, which was very powerful.

If it weren't for the fact that Liujin Realm was powerful, this true Qi alone was not something that the eighth rank could deal with.

You know, the three founding leaders of a big gang like Tiandi League were only the seventh rank.

Yang Yong and Wang Zhao rushed out after hearing the sound.

"What happened?"

"It's the tenth day of the first lunar month, which naughty kid is still setting off firecrackers?"

Yang Yong cursed, thinking it was just the sound of firecrackers.

But when he and Wang Zhao saw the boulder standing opposite Li Rui, they both gasped.

"Old Li, this is..."

Yang Yong looked at the two hand prints on the boulder.

"Did you hit it?"

Li Rui nodded: "I couldn't stop practicing for a while."

Yang Yong looked at Li Rui as if he was looking at a monster: "Old Li, this move of yours is more powerful than those martial arts masters in the city."

When he was at Zhu's house, he worked as a guard.

His understanding of martial arts is much higher than that of ordinary people.

So he is more aware of the value of Li Rui's hands breaking the stone.

Little did they know that Li Rui didn't touch the boulder at all, but just used pure true energy to hit the stone from a distance.

If Yang Yong and Wang Zhao knew about it, they would probably think that Li Rui had become a god.

Li Rui said calmly: "It's almost time, I'll go to the armory first."

After that, he walked out of the door.

Yang Yong and Wang Zhao were left looking at each other. What kind of opportunity did old Li get? He had such a big breakthrough in martial arts in just two years.

If they hadn't been together every day, they would have thought that Li Rui had been replaced.

This was too shocking for the two of them.

In a cup of tea, Li Rui arrived at the Dingzihao armory.

Lianghe went there and didn't leave at night.

The remaining three people were quite well-behaved and cleaned the armory early.

Just as Li Rui was about to inspect the armory as usual, one of his men came over timidly: "Master Li, we heard that the new magistrate was going to re-measure the land and guessed that the land might be divided. I was thinking about whether I could take a day off and let my family help me. What do you think?"

"New magistrate?"

Li Rui raised his eyebrows slightly.

It had been reported long before that Qinghe was going to change the magistrate.

In fact, this was also expected.

Although Magistrate Zhang Linkang was conscientious, he was limited in ability and was not a warrior, so he would definitely be suppressed by An Ning Guard. This also meant that the Magistrate lost the role of performing his due functions.

The court would certainly not allow such a monopoly to happen.

An official of equal rank would often be sent.

The county magistrate and the chief clerk of Qinghe County had been replaced long ago, leaving only Zhang Linkang. Now the new Magistrate was finally going to take office, and there was no old man left in the County Office.

"Go, no problem."

Li Rui was not a black-hearted boss, so he would not make things difficult for such a small matter.

"Thank you, Master Li."

The subordinate was about to leave when Li Rui stopped him and said, "Tell me about the land distribution."

"I heard that the county magistrate wants to check the registered land and redefine the taxes that everyone has to pay."

"We need to ask those wealthy families who have embezzled the land to give it back to those who have no land."

"The county magistrate has not even arrived yet, but he has already sent tax officials to investigate the matter. He may even take down a few wealthy families to establish his authority."

"This is a great thing!"

This subordinate is a temporary worker in the armory, and most of them come from ordinary families.

Li Rui nodded.

Land annexation happens in any dynasty, and the Yu Kingdom is no exception.

Some wealthy families take over the farmers' land through lending and robbery, and the farmers become tenants or even refugees, causing social unrest, and the taxes received by the court will also be reduced.

The court has repeatedly carried out reforms, but has always had little effect.

Why?

Of course, these great officials colluded with the local wealthy families to make profits and enrich themselves.

It's a good thing.

After all, some tenants will be re-allocated land.

However, Li Rui felt that the new county magistrate was the first to take office. He wanted to break up the complicated relationships in Qinghe and redistribute the benefits.

Who knows.

Now more and more forces have entered Qinghe, including the Ming Guangzong and Qingfeng Villa, which are well-known in Anning Prefecture.

Only a new county magistrate can calm these fierce dragons crossing the river.

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

In Qinghe City, there were bursts of exclamations on the crowded streets.

"What a big carriage!"

Five majestic horses that were ten feet tall drove from the direction of the city gate like a small mountain.

The five horses pulled the carriage that could be called a palace, and every step they took, a long white breath came out of their nostrils.

Fortunately, the streets of Qinghe City were expanded, otherwise it would be impossible to put on such a grand display.

"Demon horse!"

Li Rui stood in the shadow of the alley and secretly exclaimed.

These five horses are all specially trained monster horses. Their endurance and explosive power are several times stronger than those of sweaty horses.

certainly.

Expensive is really expensive.

One horse is worth three thousand gold.

"Tsk tsk, this Zhuang County magistrate is so generous."

If the guess is correct, the person in the sedan is the new county magistrate - Zhuang Renhe.

"I heard that this magistrate of Zhuang County comes from a wealthy family in Yunzhou, which is really extraordinary."

Li Rui went out today and happened to encounter this scene.

"Qingtian!"

"Qingtian!"

In my ears, the sound of kowtows and shouts kept coming.

blue sky.

But not every official can be called Qingtian, only good officials who make decisions for the people in the eyes of the people can be called.

Before he arrived, the magistrate of Zhuang County sent people to measure the land and divide the fields. He gained a good reputation as an upright official.

"Qingtian?"

Li Rui disagreed.

At this time.

Inside the chariot.

The unique fragrance of Yazhou agarwood fills the air, and the light smoke slowly floats out of the furnace and wraps around the furnace body.

The county magistrate Zhuang Renhe sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, and purple smoke rose above his head.

good.

Unlike those civil servants, Zhuang Renhe himself was a master of martial arts.

In fact, martial arts in the Yu State were prosperous, and low-level officials were fine, while almost all high-level officials were good at martial arts.

Although he is a county magistrate, his rank is not low.

The level of a fifth-grade county magistrate is even as high as that of a magistrate, and is the only one in Yunzhou.

Otherwise, if the level is too low, he will definitely be suppressed by the An Ning Guard.

In addition to the county magistrate Zhuang Renhe, there was another person in the chariot.

An old man wearing a black robe, with an exposed arm that was as dry as firewood.

"Mr. Qi, your magic of feeding monsters seems to have improved again."
