I Just Won’t Play by the Book Chapter 230: The Patriarch Conference
As the largest county in Fengzhou, Lulin County has a total of 58 counties. Due to the shortage of food, the population of each county is about 20,000, and the same county as Hyundai has a permanent residence of two to three hundred thousand. The population is definitely incomparable.
In these fifty-eight counties, almost every county has a family driven by the sect. This is why Jiang Beiran said that the sect power has almost spread throughout Fengzhou, and where is the jurisdiction of the sect? People outside.
At noon, the huge lodging hall was almost filled with visitors from the major families, and the meeting rooms in the east, west, north and south were basically full. Because the sect invited them this time, it was not coldly saying that they would come to the meeting. It was a party, and many people were dragging their families away, and it was so lively for a while.
"Your Majesty, all the patriarchs on the invitation list have arrived."
After Li Minggao, the head of the Li family, arrived, the middle-aged butler came to the wing to report.
"Got it."
Jiang Beiran nodded, and walked out with two maids, Mu Yao and Deng Xianghan.
Before the meeting, he planned to get to know these patriarchs who "dominated one side".
First come to the Chenyou Hall of the West Campus.
"The emperor is here~"
The middle-aged butler stood at the door and shouted.
In a short time, the hustle and bustle in Chenyou Hall suddenly quieted down, and only a few children were still playing around on their own.
"Welcome your majesty."
The moment Jiang Beiran stepped into the threshold, all the patriarchs and the family members they brought together saluted.
It’s impossible to kneel. Many of these clan chiefs are profound masters or even strong masters in the profound spiritual realm. It is enough to give Guixinzong's face to bow to Jiang Beiran. Of course, if the suzerain personally orders them to kneel, they He would also kneel, but he would definitely write down this as a humiliation in his heart.
Nodded, Jiang Beiran opened his mouth and said: "Welcome to the patriarchs to come here, the roads are tired, hard work."
Hearing Jiang Beiran’s words, the patriarchs also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, they had heard a lot of rumors about the new emperor. The tough calculation was one of his characteristics. They were still a little worried about this new As soon as the emperor arrived, he gave them a warning, how should they deal with it?
Hold the top, who is going to do this early bird? No, what if the new emperor really treats them as soft persimmons.
Now that the new emperor is kind to them, the entanglement in my heart is finally let go.
Amidst waves of compliments, Jiang Beiran slowly walked towards the master.
Suddenly I saw three identical faces on the road with a tense expression sitting there, looking completely indifferent to him, but the one sitting on the right could not help but look at him from the corner and pretend to look at the scenery Look like.
Seeing Jiang Beiran's gaze swept, the one sitting in the middle quickly turned the head on the right, and the three of them looked in other directions together.
‘Oh~’
Sighed in my heart, I expected that the three sisters of the Yu family would appear here in Jiangbei.
After all, when he went to Tinglan Shuixie before, he knew from the guardian that the five golden flowers had asked for leave together. The reason was that Daddy had come, so he had to visit.
Jiang Beiran originally worried that these five would "do nothing more", but now seeing them trying to avoid suspicion, I think they are still worthy of teaching.
Sitting on as the master, Jiang Beiran said: "Please sit down, patriarchs."
As he arched his hands towards Jiang Beiran, a group of patriarchs sat down one after another.
Judging from the seat order, the Yu family is in the seat, just like the sovereign's list, the towns in the Jiangbei Lingshan area are all based on their family's head.
As a representative of the families, a middle-aged member of the Yu family stood up and walked towards Jiang Beiran and said: "My dear Yu Kangan, see your majesty, I admire your majesty for the policies you implemented after you became the throne. I have always wanted to find a chance. Seeing the face of the sky, now you can see, your Majesty is indeed a wise man, with extraordinary bearing."
Listening to Yu Kang'an's flattery, Jiang Beiran naturally knew that his flattery was taken to the suzerain. In the eyes of the patriarch, he should be the spokesperson of the suzerain. After all, it was the suzerain who called them over.
However, no matter who this flattery is for, it at least means that Yu Kangan has no intention of proactively picking things up, and he is absolutely safe.
"It turned out to be Clan Chief Yu. I have heard of you many times in Chu Baishan, saying that you are doing things properly and that you have contributed a lot to the development of the sect over the years."
"Zhu Bai Fan is really ridiculous. If it weren't for the support of the sect, my little family would have been living on the street."
"Patriarch Yu is really humble, there will be many places where I need your help in the future, and I hope that Patriarch Yu can spare no effort."
"This is natural. As a citizen of Shengguo, it is an honor for me to serve the emperor."
‘Wow...it’s the first time I saw such a senior. ’
Although the three sisters of the Yu family knew that the brother was never just a named disciple, they still treated him as a peer. Now, seeing that his father, who is very tall and tall in his daily life, greeted him, let him For a while, they felt that the image of the brother was much taller.
However, as the brothers and father talked more and more, the attention of the three sisters slowly shifted to other places.
For example, Yu Guishui's gaze now quietly came to Mu Yao.
'There are so many beauties in the palace...Even the maids are so beautiful, how beautiful are the concubines in the harem? ’
Mu Yao quickly noticed Yu Guishui's gaze, and looked back a little strangely. Between her eyes, Yu Guishui suddenly felt that Mu Yao was familiar.
‘Well...Where did you see it? ’
In doubt, Yu Guishui looked at Yu Guigao and Yu Guimiao next to him, blinked, and asked with his eyes: "Do you think the maid behind the brother is familiar?"
The two younger sisters instantly understood what the older sister meant and looked at Mu Yao at the same time.
Mu Yao, who was watching three eyes at the same time, also looked back, and at the same time wondered: ‘What’s the matter with these three people, don’t you listen to the emperor’s speech well, what am I doing? ’
I looked at Mu Yao, Yu Guigao suddenly brightened his eyes, and told the other two people with his eyes: "I see, isn't she the Mu Yao who Yingjie will be defeated by Brother Wu."
"Oh~" Yu Guishui and Yu Guimiao reacted at the same time. I also remembered that there is indeed such a person.
‘Why is she with brother? ’
Yu Guishui suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his chest, and always felt something was wrong.
When the three sisters of the Yu family discussed with their eyes why Mu Yao would be a maid here for the senior, Jiang Beiran had already greeted the heads of other families under the introduction of Yu Kang'an.
I knew everyone who should have known each other, Jiang Beiran got up and left, leaving Chenyou Hall with Mu Yao and Deng Xianghan.
Then Jiang Beiran went to three other parlors and saw Liu Zijin and Fang Qiuyao as expected. Lin Yuyan was not present only when he saw the head of the Lin family.
Another thing that surprised Jiang Beiran was that, apart from Lin Yuyan's identity, he still didn't know the identity of the Yu family's three sisters, Liu Zijin of the Liu family and Fang Qiuyao of the Fang family. They were all the daughters of the patriarch.
Jiang Beiran’s surprise is not a coincidence. After all, there is a way of "taking care" of him in such a way. What is such a small coincidence?
He was surprised that these five golden flowers were really just the daughters of five small patriarchs, so why could they cause prefecture-level options?
‘Hiss... these five seem to be more troublesome, but they have nothing to do with me. ’
While Jiang Beiran was thinking about the five golden flowers, Mu Yao also thought about them. After all, in the first three halls, every time she went to a woman with a beautiful face and a moonlike appearance, she carefully looked at her, which made her think she should It is not a coincidence.
‘It’s weird...’
When Jiang Beiran walked away, Liu Zijin quietly walked out of the Changxin Hall and came to the garden.
"Sister, elder sister?" Liu Zijin whispered, bending over.
"I'm here~" A faint voice came from behind the flowerbed.
Liu Zijin rushed all the way and looked at the person behind the flower bed and said, "Go back, sister, brother is gone."
After listening, Liu Qinghan immediately grabbed Liu Zijin and asked, "What did the brother wear today?"
"It's still the emperor's robe." Liu Zijin replied.
"Is that so?" Liu Qinghan asked Liu Zijin, taking out a piece of drawing paper.
The painting is exactly the appearance of Jiang Beiran wearing the imperial robe. It is lifelike, looking at the world.
"Well, that's it, even dad has to please the emperor when he sees it."
"Take a closer look, what's wrong with the details?" Liu Qinghan asked, pointing to the painting.
"Well, I don't think there is anything wrong. Sister, please go and see for yourself later, brother will not find you, even if you find out, I believe brother will not be so careful."
"Senior brother of course will not be careful." Liu Qinghan said while admiring the senior brother in the painting, and she couldn't help showing an obsessive smile when she looked at it, "This is my punishment to myself, I will never show up. In front of the brother."
"Oh...I blame me." Liu Zijin sighed.
"You don't need to blame yourself. I want to tell you. If you feel sorry for me, just tell me what details are wrong on the emperor's robe."
"Well, let me take a look." Liu Zijin took the painting and looked at it seriously.
I met all the patriarchs, and time soon came to Shenshi. In the huge conference hall, fifty-two patriarchs took their seats. When they were seated, they found that besides hot tea, there were several books with very names. Special book.
"Lulin County Plan for the Next Three Years", "Lulin County Land Reform Measures", "Lulin County Economic Planning"
……
Yu Kangan picked up one of them and opened it. For a while, he frowned and said to the other patriarchs around him: "Now I finally understand what the new emperor is asking us to do."
A patriarch who also read a few pages nodded and said: "I heard that the new emperor had a conflict with the Tao family, it seems because of this."
"This new emperor can't deal with the families outside, so he intends to attack us following the coercion of the sovereign?"
"Shhh, keep your voice down."
"Why is this whispering? Look at what is written on this, and how we will do this in the future."
"At the very least, the new emperor did not directly give orders to us under the name of the sovereign, and even called us all over, which means that he does not intend to come hard."
"Is this a hard question? He..."
"The emperor is here~"
When there was an uproar in the chamber, the door of the chamber was opened and Jiang Beiran walked in slowly.
When he came to the master seat and sat down, Jiang Beiran looked at the patriarchs in the audience and smiled: "Looking at your expressions, you should have read the plan that I wrote.
There was silence, these patriarchs had completely lost the enthusiasm they had when they greeted them just now, and each of them seemed to protest the upcoming events with silence.
"Hahaha, it seems that everyone is not satisfied with my plan."
"Don't dare, the emperor is serious." Liu Sicun, the head of the Liu family sitting in front, said.
Someone took the lead, and other patriarchs also spoke up: "The emperor is serious."
"Why not, I will give you two hours to read these plans, and then we will discuss business matters, how about?"
The dozens of patriarchs looked at each other first, and then quickly reached a unified answer: "According to the purpose."
Listening to the sound of turning over the book in the chamber, Jiang Beiran suddenly felt like an invigilator teacher, and he felt the urge to go down and inspect.
Two hours passed quickly, and some of these patriarchs in the chamber had already "handed in papers in advance" as if they were excellent students, sitting in their seats and thinking about something.
Almost just finished reading it, even before it was finished.
Of course, there are also many people who intend to directly "hand in a blank paper"~IndoMTL.com~ These little details let Jiang Beiran know more about these patriarchs. They are like officials with varying standards. If necessary, Jiang Beiran also It will clean up these patriarchs as well as sorting out the court and the opposition.
"Clan Chief Yu, you seem to have a question to ask me."
When the time came, Jiang Beiran looked at Yu Kang'an, who had already finished the plan, and asked.
Although Yu Kangan doesn’t want to be the first bird, since the emperor has called him on his head, he can only bite the bullet and say: "The emperor, I have read all the plans you mentioned, it’s very exciting, and It’s very eye-opening, and it deserves to be a famous emperor who can issue those new policies."
Jiang Beiran didn't listen to these compliments, because he knew there must be "just..." behind it.
Sure enough, after some flattering, Yu Kangan hesitated and said: "Is it just that the change is too big? If you do it according to your majesty, the manpower and financial resources required can be said to be incalculable."
"Don’t worry about this. You should all know that I am not only the emperor, but also a disciple of Guixin Sect. Lulinjun is the basic place of Guixin Sect, so I will only bring you Good, otherwise Sect Master Lu won’t agree, right?"
When the following clan chief heard this, he suddenly felt right. Since it was the suzerain who summoned them, it means that these so-called plan masters should have checked it personally, and that they have been called to show that the suzerain has agreed to this. thing.
Since the suzerain can agree, it means that this matter must be good for their county.
But they didn't completely relax. After all, what is good for Lulin County does not mean that it is also good for them.
