The Dark and Foolish King: The Fierce and Crazy Concubine Has Infinite Strength

Several people sat upright. Jun Ziyao closed the door, then poured himself a large glass of water. After taking a sip, he began to talk not about the plan to stop the borrowing of troops, but about the initial history of Tang City...

It turns out that the prosperity of Tang City did not exist since ancient times, but was changed by the appearance of a person ten years ago.

Jun Zhonglin, the lord of Tang City, is the only son of the previous lord. After the death of the previous lord, the position of lord naturally fell into Jun Zhonglin's hands.

However, Jun Zhonglin is a typical man of courage but no strategy. He has great martial arts skills, but has no idea how to govern the country.

After he came to power, although he wanted to be a good monarch and seek benefits for the people of Tang City, he was unable to do so. Nine out of ten decisions he made and laws he issued after he ascended the throne were unreliable.

Although he adopted the opinions of civil and military officials, he was unable to distinguish right from wrong and often adopted the opinions of some treacherous officials, inadvertently making his city even more chaotic.

In short, Jun Zhonglin, a simple-minded but strong-limbed man, had been in power for only over a year, but he had already messed up the governance of Tang City, causing the people to complain and groan. It was even heard that some people were going to revolt and overthrow his rule.

Jun Zhonglin was very upset about this. He seemed to be trapped in a maze, not knowing how to realize his ambition of stabilizing the country and leaving his name in history.

Just when Tang City was in dire straits, a monk arrived in Tang City. After hearing about the situation in the city, he took the initiative to come to the City Lord's Mansion and asked to meet the City Lord to offer his advice on how to govern the country.

At that time, Jun Zhonglin was really helpless in facing the internal and external troubles in Tangcheng, so he thought of giving it a try and summoned the monk.

The monk was extremely courageous and was not afraid at all when he saw Jun Zhonglin. He pointed out one by one the problems facing Tang Cheng and the wrong and ridiculous orders issued by Jun Zhonglin, and spoke with confidence and logic.

Jun Zhonglin had never met anyone who dared to speak so frankly and gave advice. He believed that he must be a brave and capable person. He was overjoyed and humbly asked him for advice on how to govern the country.

The old monk did not refuse and followed him to the study, took out paper and pen, and while explaining to him, he wrote down a series of policies for governing the country on the paper, and at the same time corrected many previous mistakes.

Afterwards, the old monk made a promise that as long as Jun Zhonglin was willing to govern Tang City according to his way of governing the country, Tang City would undergo earth-shaking changes within two years.

By then, people will live and work in peace and prosperity, and Tang City will enter an unprecedented era of prosperity!

On the contrary, if there is no effect after issuing a series of instructions, the old monk is willing to die as a token of atonement.

Having said that, Jun Zhonglin, who was at his wit's end, agreed without much hesitation. He gritted his teeth and quickly began to govern the country according to the old monk's advice.

As directives were issued one after another, very significant results were seen in less than half a year. The most obvious was that the original voices for uprising and rebellion gradually subsided.

Jun Zhonglin was overjoyed and treated the old monk as a guest of state power, and kept him in his house to entertain him well. While governing the country according to the monk's methods, he also asked him to teach him how to govern the country every day.

Jun Zhonglin was sincere, diligent and eager to learn, and the old monk was happy to teach him. The two of them often had long conversations, and sometimes they would talk all night long.

In this way, the arrival of the old monk brought about earth-shaking changes to Tang City. He not only corrected Jun Zhonglin's previous wrong instructions, but also came up with many new and incredible things.

"Wait!" Hearing this, Xia Younan suddenly interrupted him and asked in surprise, "Does the incredible and novel thing you mentioned include the invention of artillery, the agricultural policy of distributing land, and the social policy of gender equality?"

Jun Ziyao nodded his head in a rush, "It seems that you have already seen it. Yes, that is the second policy issued by my master. The artillery was also invented by my master. There are many more like this."

"Your master?" Lu Xiuyuan repeated the question.

Jun Ziyao raised his head proudly, "Yes, my father admired my master's talent and ability so much that he asked him to accept me as his apprentice!"

Lu Xiuyuan nodded and sighed sincerely: "When I first arrived in Tang City, I guessed that there must be a powerful person in this city to assist in governing the country. It seems that this powerful person is the monk."

"Of course, my master is a great benefactor to my father and even the people of this city!" Jun Ziyao praised and continued to tell them.

Just like that, three years later, with the help of the monks, Tang City reached the peak of prosperity, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and they led a happier life than ever before.

The city lord Jun Zhonglin also underwent a complete transformation under the old monk's guidance.

He was no longer the brave but reckless man he used to be. He worked hard to govern the city and became resourceful and strategic, able to handle all the affairs in the city easily and correctly.

Hard work pays off. Jun Zhonglin's deeds moved the people and he became a benevolent and wise ruler in their hearts. Everyone sang praises to him and praised him as a famous ruler who worked hard for the country and the people.

Jun Zhonglin was not complacent and was generous in informing the people about the old monk's existence, explaining that if it were not for the monk, there would be no Tang City today, and there would be no Jun Zhonglin today.

After learning the truth, the people were extremely grateful to the old monk. They regarded him as a god sent from heaven to save Tang City, and everyone respected and believed in him.

Jun Zhonglin even regarded the monk as his great benefactor. He was extremely grateful to him and treated him like a treasure. He even let his son recognize him as his master.

However, the three-year period had passed, the old monk had achieved his goal, and was about to say goodbye and leave.

How could Jun Zhonglin let such a capable person with both moral integrity and talent go? He sincerely requested the monk to return to secular life, appoint him as the Grand Master, and stay in Tang City to govern the country together.

At first the monk refused and insisted on leaving Tang City to travel around. The city lord was so anxious that he led all the people in the city to kneel before him and begged him to stay with tears in his eyes.

Finally, the monk could not refuse the kindness, and after much deliberation, he asked the city lord to build him a house in Nanshan for his practice, and to come to him if he had any problems in the future.

The city lord agreed with great surprise, and from then on, all matters big and small in the city would be consulted for his opinion and he would obey his orders unconditionally.

At this point, Jun Ziyao picked up the teapot, gulped down a few big gulps of water, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and said nothing more.

Obviously, this story ends here.

Lu Xiuyuan frowned and thought for a moment, then asked Jun Ziyao, "You mean to ask your master to go down the mountain and stop the city lord from lending troops to Ye Beimo?"

"Smart!" Jun Ziyao gave him a thumbs up. "My master is as important as the mountain god in the eyes of my father and the people. As long as he is willing to speak, not only my father, but all the people in the city will obey him!"
