Tong Ran stepped back and closed the door.

There is no couch in the study room of the county government office. Tong Ran sat down behind a chair, closed her eyes and concentrated her mind, feeling the energy gradually gathered in the altar.

In the three days since he took office, Tong Ran can feel the influx of righteousness from the way of conscientiousness every day, which is much more than when he was Tian Jian. No wonder everyone says that being an official is the best way to cultivate righteousness.

Today's stock is even more than a few days ago.

Tong Ran's perception sank into his body, checking the righteousness that had just poured in.

The only thing he has done recently is to reform Xiaoguo County's stall regulations, which must be the reason for this righteousness.He investigated carefully, and they really came from the way of reform and reform.

Tong Ran concentrated on refining, and the refined righteousness poured into his righteousness seeds continuously.

He is now at the peak of the top yellow rank, only one step away from the mysterious rank. When the seed of righteousness was just formed, it was crystal clear, as if it could shine through, and as his rank gradually increased, the color of the seed gradually increased. get darker.It is already swarthy now, and it emits a faint light every time it is devoted to righteousness, like a black pearl.Black means black, is it because the seeds of righteousness will turn black, so this level is named after Xuan?

Tong Ran was distracted thinking that he could handle it at first, but he didn't expect that the speed of the surge of righteousness would not decrease but increase, and its weight would also increase, as if rushing towards his altar from all directions.Tong Ran didn't dare to neglect any more, and concentrated all his mind to deal with it.

Many people inside and outside the county government office felt this surge of righteousness. Most people in the Huang rank could only feel it, while those above the Xuan rank could accurately perceive the direction in which the righteousness was rushing.

Gao Zhuo was sitting at home, and a confidant of the yamen came to report to him today's new regulations on setting up stalls.In the middle of speaking, Gao Zhuo put down his teacup and looked in the direction of the county government.

Such a large fluctuation of righteousness cannot be caused by any major event.

He only has a mysterious rank, and it is not yet possible to find out where this righteousness comes from, but there is only one major event in Xiaoguo County recently.

"Maybe it's not necessarily whose family's child is gathering the seeds of righteousness." The confidant said.

"Absurd." Gao Zhuo scolded, "How can there be such a big commotion? The regulations on setting up stalls you told me just now are going to be implemented today? How many people have set up stalls?"

"This..." The yamen servant dared not answer.

Gao Zhuo has already seen the answer from his face.

Since ancient times, thousands of ways to cultivate righteousness have only pointed to one-benefiting the country and the people.Being able to attract such a level of righteousness, the new law of this small county magistrate must be quite effective and popular among the people.

In the streets and alleys of Xiaoguo County, people set up stalls one after another in the areas designated by Tong Ran.Because the county government made a unified arrangement, there were many stalls without chaos. The officials in charge of this matter arranged the places according to the booth fees paid by each person, and there were other government officials patrolling. They discussed carefully, but no one dared to provoke and make trouble.

A wave of righteousness passed by, and the ordinary people without righteousness were ignorant, and the brows of the yamen servants and civil servants were hot, and the righteousness flowed into their altars like a trickle.

On Tong Ran's side, he frowned, not daring to be distracted for a moment.

His righteousness was like boiling water, steam constantly came up to lift the lid of the pot, but the lid of the pot was too heavy, it was pushed up and down, making endless popping noises.

There is only a little left, Tong Ran encouraged himself.

He accelerated the speed of condensing, and the refined righteousness kept pouring in, and the black color of the righteousness became more and more pure.

Eighty percent, ninety percent, ninety and a half percent...

Tong Ran's heart sank when the black pearl-like seed of righteousness burst, but he didn't dare to stop to check.

puff.

The turbulent righteousness that was too late to refine was suddenly absorbed, and merged into Tong Ran's righteousness with lightning speed.

Mysterious step!

Tong Ran obviously felt the change. His ability to refine righteousness was suddenly enhanced, and the righteousness that he had to deal with just now was simply refined at this moment.

He relaxed, and divided a part to check his seeds of righteousness.

During the process of being promoted to the Xuan rank just now, Tong Ran heard a cracking sound. At this moment, he scanned the outside of the Seed of Righteous Qi carefully, but he didn't find a single crack.

Impossible, there must be.

Tong Ran activated his perception again and scanned it carefully, but there were still no cracks, but on the smooth seed of righteousness, he actually sprouted a small bud, which looked like it was drilled from the inside of the seed.

Righteousness was still pouring in quickly, and the sprout grew half an inch taller visible to the naked eye.

After the refining of the surging righteousness was completed, the sprouts shook with the tail of the righteousness whirlwind and stopped growing.

The seed of righteousness turned out to be really a seed, with germination?

Tong Ran opened his eyes.

The study was very quiet, and the little tiger was sleeping soundly on the padded chair beside it.

Strange, that mysterious force did not appear today.

He originally thought that he might be able to investigate once or twice when he reached the Xuan level, but he didn't show up at all, and he didn't know if he would show up again in the future.

Tong Ran was promoted to the Xuan rank, he stretched out his body, feeling full of strength in his body.

"Sang Le." Tong Ran said.

Sang Le was just outside the door, and when he heard Tong Ran calling him, he immediately opened the door and came in, "My lord, have you finished refining?"

Tong Ran nodded: "You watch the cub for me inside. If it wakes up, if it's hungry, give it jerky. If it's thirsty, there's tea on the table. You can brew it for it. I'll go out for a while."

Sang Le nodded.Tong Ran glanced at the little tiger again, and took Yuan San away.

The implementation of the new regulations outside went very smoothly. Tong Ran went around for a while. Xiaoguo County is located on the main road between Dunan and Longyou. There are a lot of people on weekdays. When the regulations were implemented today, not only the villagers in the county, but also many people Merchants who rarely passed by also took out their goods and sold some on the spot.

Tong Ran returned to the county government office, and met Gou An head-on, looking for him.

"Master Tong, where have you been?" Gou An asked tentatively, "There are so many people outside, it's not good for some ordinary people to bump into you, why don't you ask someone to prepare a sedan chair for you?"

"No, it's just walking around. Do you have something to do?" Tong Ran said, he didn't go to the study, but to the main hall.

"It's not a big deal." Gou An hesitated.

When Tong Ran first came, he only regarded the other party as a 15-year-old child, thinking that flattering him would make him as he wished, but he didn't expect that this Tong Ran was more difficult to deal with than Deng Qi, and even Gao Zhuo was so angry that he called him sick However, the county government office is still in a thriving state. He came all the way just now and heard many people outside the sedan chair praising him, which is very popular.

He has won the hearts of the people, but those big merchants with shops hate him.

Originally, small vendors in the county were restrained by the law. They either stopped doing business at all, or rented shops from big merchants to do business.Now that the regulations are open, there will be more people doing business, and many people from other places will come to join in the fun.

This is only the first day, and it is expected that there will be more and more people doing business in Xiaoguo County in the future, and those big merchants feel the crisis one after another.

"Speak directly." Gou An kept dawdling, but Tong Ran didn't want to waste time with him. After some calculation, the little tiger should wake up, so he'd better go back and have a look.

Gou An gritted his teeth and said, "My lord, are your stall regulations... really changed?"

"Didn't you see the document?" Tong Ran asked back.

"I see, I see," Gou An smiled guiltily, "Sir, why don't you think about it again? As soon as your document came out, the big merchants in the county were all angry. Didn't you just make things difficult for them by helping the small vendors like this?" In the final analysis, what is really going on in the county is still pointing at these big households, there is no need to offend them."

The corners of Tong Ran's mouth curled up, but there was no smile in his eyes: "Master Gou, don't worry, this county knows it well."

Gou An shrank his shoulders, only felt that what Tong Ran shot out of were icicles.

He received a lot of benefits from a few rich businessmen in private. Those rich businessmen flattered him, of course, so that he could speak in front of the county magistrate, but if he couldn't help anything, who would take a look at him in the future?

Gou An was anxious, but he didn't know how to tell Tong Ran that the few times he flattered Tong Ran, it was like hitting cotton, and he didn't know how to use force.Gou Anlue arched his back and rolled his eyes. Since Tong Ran is not easy to break through here, why not use another method?

If Tong Ran wanted to implement the new regulations, Gao Zhuo would definitely be opposed to it. Why don't he go to Gao Zhuo to find out what he said. If it goes well, he might be able to incite Gao Zhuo and Tong Ran to confront each other further, and then he can reap the benefits.

Thinking of this, Gou An stopped messing with Tong Ran, said a few more innocuous words, and then retreated.

Tong Ran got up from the official chair in the hall, Gou An had already left the main hall, but he was thoughtful.

After ascending to the Xuan rank, Tong Ran was able to clearly detect that Gou An's righteousness was in the third stage of the Xuan rank.Officials, as long as they don't do things that harm the country and the people, they can gather a lot of righteousness just by working hard.Gou An had served as a Tongzhi in Xiaoguo County for six years, so he should have a middle-grade Mysterious Rank, no matter how bad it was, he should have a sixth or seventh rank of a low-rank Mysterious Rank, but he only had a poor third rank.

In Xiaoguo County, Tongzhi is in charge of civil affairs, while the county lieutenant is in charge of military affairs.

The servants in the county government can go on strike to protest because of Gao Zhuo. It can be seen that Gao Zhuo has a lot of weight in the hearts of the servants, but Gou An has no status among the civil servants. He was joking, which shows that he is very unpopular.

His unpopularity also helped Tong Ran, he easily mastered the civil servants, and didn't have to spend a lot of trouble like the yamen servants.

"Wow!"

When Tong Ran approached the study, he heard the tiger cub shouting inside.

Pushing open the door, the little tiger stood on the top of the museum shelf next to the desk, looking down majestically.Sang Le stood under the shelf with jerky in his hand: "Zai Zai, come down and eat some?"

"Wow!"

The little tiger roared again, the threat was very clear.

"Let me do it." Tong Ran stepped forward to take the jerky from Sang Le's hand, thought for a while, and replaced it with a new one.

Sang Le felt a little distressed when she saw the jerky that Tong Ran threw on the table.

He only knew that the county magistrate had raised a tiger cub before, but he didn't know that it was so pampered. The dried meat was very fragrant, except that there was no seasoning, the rest was similar to human food, and even looked better.

Not to mention the tea for it to drink, the most commonly used by the county magistrate is the can of Yipin Dahongpao, the magistrate himself drank ordinary tea from the county government, yet he gave the tiger cub such good tea.

This tiger cub is probably not the reincarnation of a good person from the ninth generation, and lives like an emperor.

Tong Ran replaced it with a new piece of jerky, and finally lured the little tiger off the museum shelf.

He asked Sang Le again, and Sang Le said that the little tiger didn't even touch the jerky and tea he fed.Tong Ran felt itchy in his heart, a little secretly happy, but raised his face and said: "Zai Zai, don't bully Sang Le."

"Wow wow wow wow wow!" It's your job to serve me, no substitutions are allowed!

Tong Ran grabbed the little tiger by the back of the neck, and the little tiger who was roaring fiercely just now was quiet for a second, staring at him fiercely with green eyes.Tong Ran brought it to him: "Don't be picky eaters, why can't you eat the jerky that Sang Le gave? It's the same as what my brother feeds."

"Wow." The little tiger roared weakly.

"If you don't behave well, you'll get a spanking, you know?" Tong Ran threatened.

"Wow!" The little tiger opened its mouth wide, revealing its short fangs.

"Cub, you're still a cub, don't keep threatening people with your teeth, it's useless." Tong Ran said, kissing Mao Mao on the side of its ear.

"Wow!" The little tiger exploded completely, broke free, jumped to the top of the museum shelf, and ignored people.

"Really, my temper is too bad." Tong Ran was helpless, and said to Sang Le again, "Sorry, I'm still young, don't take it to heart, go do something."

"Yes, this subordinate is leaving." Sang Le cupped his hands and retreated. Before closing the door, he took another peek. The little tiger cub was still on the museum shelf. The county magistrate sat back at the desk and picked up the documents to read. From the corner of my eye, I always glanced at the museum shelf.
