Sheng Fu

Chapter 320 People are happy, the new year is approaching

The wine and meat were steaming hot on the table, and Gu Yong sat close to Beihan Fei.

The two haven't seen each other for many years, and Yu Wenjun remembered an old saying that a new marriage is better than a small farewell, and the situation of the two people is estimated to be better than a big marriage.

Bei Hanfei enthusiastically gave Chu Yu a few pieces of good-looking braised pork, and said softly, "I'm growing my muscles and bones, eat more."

Chu Yu giggled and said, "Understood."

Just now in the kitchen, Bei Hanfei already knew all the details. The twelve or thirteen-year-old boy in front of him had made great contributions. Without Chu Yu's help, Yu Wenjun might still be looking for the whereabouts of the Mountain of Bright Soul in the Demon Realm.

Bei Hanfei is not confused, forging a good relationship with this child, it is natural to ensure that he will become very strong in the future, and Gu Yong also thinks the same way in his heart.

When it comes to accepting apprentices, Gu Yong only accepted Yu Wenjun, but Yu Wenjun is not Gu Yong's true successor. Chu Yu is a jade in the rough. He will formally accept Chu Yu as an apprentice, which can be regarded as repaying his kindness.

After a lively meal, the two women and Chu Yu started to wash the dishes. Yu Wenjun, Gu Yong and Bei Hanfei walked out of the small courtyard and walked leisurely in the quiet forest.

Now that the matter has come to this point, Yu Wenjun has to inform these two in advance of some things.

Concisely said to Bei Hanfei: "There is something that I should probably tell you the truth, but I hope my wife doesn't mind."

Bei Hanfei smiled brightly and said, "You child, do you still need to cover up in front of me?"

Gu Yong also pricked up his ears, quite curious about what Yu Wenjun would say, and he could roughly think that one thing came from this child's idea, and it was a bad idea.

Yu Wenjun said in a low voice: "I was indeed involved in the matter between Gu Cheng and Sister Meng, and I also gave advice to Brother Gu Chengxian. Right now, Gu Cheng probably found a gentle woman to act on the occasion. He still likes Meng. Sister's."

"According to the plan, when Sister Meng doubts herself, he will fully express his heart, and he will take advantage of the trend to fight hard."

"It took about two months for me to go to the Demon Realm. At this point in time, Gu Cheng may have done something indescribable to Sister Meng."

Bei Hanfei was stunned on the spot, Gu Yong said with a smirk on his face: "This is very in line with your kid's style, can you think about the consequences?"

Yu Wenjun observed the face of his wife for a while, but he was not angry, and his emotions were complicated.

Raw rice cooked cooked rice, it is irresistible.

Bei Hanfei smiled strangely, and said word by word: "You will say that you were coerced by Gu Cheng and had to make such a bad move, right?"

Yu Wenjun replied awkwardly: "I can't clean it up by jumping into Qingming Dadu, but I guess this will be a good thing."

Bei Hanfei smiled helplessly and said: "No wonder Meng'er hasn't come to talk to me during this time, so it was all written by you. I don't know the details of what happened to the two of them."

"But they're really a good match."

Yu Wenjun said implicitly: "If I am lucky enough to reunite with Sister Meng in the future, she wants to punish me, and I hope my wife will hold me back."

Gu Yong laughed loudly at the side and said, "If I had known why today, you would have been afraid at times."

Yu Wenjun pursed his lips slightly, hesitant to speak.

Bei Hanfei patted Yu Wenjun's head, and said softly: "Let go and do what you want to do, maybe Gu Cheng is not a soft bone, so he won't sell you."

Yu Wenjun said: "I hope so."

Optimism is a deadly poison. It is true that Gu Cheng is tough, but facing Beihanmeng is a weakling. Moreover, Beihanmeng and Lin Qingyu also noticed the relationship between him and Gucheng.

Yu Wenjun asked Gu Yong: "I'm going to leave later, but what do you want to say to the dean?"

There is no need for Yu Wenjun to elaborate on the current situation, Gu Yong knows it well, people who everyone thinks are dead don't need to reappear in the world, and it is not bad to stay with the beloved woman in this chaotic space.

Gu Yong said solemnly: "It seems that there is nothing to say, when he returns to the chaotic space, just drink and talk."

Yu Wenjun hummed, and the friendship of the older generation is beyond words.

"It's better to leave the black lion here by the way, under your personal guidance, it can also return to its ancestors as soon as possible, and it will always be a bit hasty to follow me outside." Yu Wenjun suggested.

Gu Yong pondered and replied: "That's true."

They returned to the small courtyard, chatted for a while, drank a few cups of Qianqiu white water, and then Yu Wenjun left with Wu Mi and Dugu Li.

The two Xuepeng hid in the void without a trace and followed Yu Wenjun silently.

……

……

The end of the year is approaching, heavy snow is flying, the northern land is covered with snow, and the sparse land in the south is also covered with snow.

Henglong Mountain has mixed snow colors, some terrains are covered with heavy snow, and some terrains are like spring all the year round, which can be called a wonder in the world.

Everything in Hengchangzong was as usual, there was no heavy snowfall, and the color of snow could be faintly seen in the distance.

This New Year's Eve will be full of excitement. In the Hengchang Palace, Yan Beiyou, Gong Yan, Murong Qiushui, Jing Hanqing, Gao Zhi, Guo Shenghe, and Miss Si Xue who is in charge of Hengchang Pavilion's affairs are also here.

The table was full of delicacies, and Gong Yan, the oldest one, sat in a corner and made way for a few young people. He was very relieved. Today's Hengchang Sect is full of talents, and the waist is finally thick.

Murong Qiushui sighed quietly: "We are laughing and laughing here, but it's a pity that the suzerain and Wu Mi have not returned. I heard that there is a young guest elder in our sect."

"The suzerain still has some adventures abroad."

Yan Beiyou joked, "You do care about our suzerain, but have you ever thought that our suzerain might not like your concern?"

Guo Shenghe laughed happily at the side: "That's true, our suzerain is the one who likes to go wild the most."

Several people burst into laughter, and Gong Yan fanned the flames: "Maybe the next time I come back, I can add a strong general to our sect's construction."

Suddenly, Guo Shenghe, Jing Hanqing and Yan Beiyou froze on the spot.

At some point, three figures appeared behind Murong Qiushui, Gong Yan and Gao Zhi without warning.

Yu Wenjun looked at the few people with great interest, as if you continued to talk.

Gong Yan was the first to notice something was wrong, and when he looked back, he almost spit out the tea he drank into his mouth.

Murong Qiushui, Si Xue, and Gao Zhi turned around one after another, and they were overjoyed when they saw Yu Wenjun and the three of them coming.

"Finally you're back, I thought you wouldn't come back during the Chinese New Year." Murong Qiushui said with a warm smile.

Gao Zhi who was on the side hurriedly moved three chairs, Yu Wenjun, Wu Mi, and Dugu Li sat down in order, and Si Xue thoughtfully refilled tea for the three.

Yu Wenjun smiled softly: "For such an important matter during the Chinese New Year, of course I have to come back. If I don't come back again, I really don't know what you will talk about me behind my back."

The crowd laughed and laughed happily.

Murong Qiushui observed Dugu Li intentionally or unintentionally, thinking that the suzerain always has a lot of good fortune when he is away, let alone where he put the most beautiful oiran, now there is another Dugu Li, who is very powerful.

Jing Hanqing simply told Yu Wenjun what happened recently.

The dam that Gao Zhi built in Boya County has been completely completed, and all the mountain people have been resettled. After the spring, the terrain can be changed to develop the water conservancy industry in Boya County.

The military mansion was still under construction, but because of Guo Shenghe, some veterans who had retired from the army in the north also joined Hengchangzong, and the training of soldiers and horses was completely settled.

It is estimated that in the next year, Hengchangzong will be able to piece together two thousand elite cavalry. Although the number is not large, it is an absolute status symbol for each family. The mansion of an ordinary aristocratic family is invisibly intimidating.

Influenced by Zhang Benchu's general star, more and more people think that Hengchang School is a place of great prosperity, so many wealthy families are willing to send their children to Hengchang Academy to study.

Of course, children from rich families came here to study, and they paid a lot of money for studying here, which is different from children from poor families.

Now Hengchang Academy has [-] Hengchang Colleges with regular classes, and the number of students is close to [-]. Among them, more than [-] students have shown talents higher than ordinary people, and have been vigorously cultivated by the academy. As for these [-] students Leaving aside whether there will be any achievements in the future, at least Hengchang College has won the hearts of the people on a large scale.

Teachers are not all teachers who stick to the rules, less than half of the teachers have a lot of knowledge, and there is even an old man Feng Yuanqiu who sits in the town. When the school is closed, a large number of teachers will come to Feng Yuanqiu to attend lectures and study knowledge together. There is spiel.

In order to make the cultural atmosphere stronger, Jing Hanqing has ordered the construction of a Wenchang Institute dedicated to Feng Yuanqiu and his teachers to study knowledge, and it is expected to be completed in the next year.

The matter of learning can be a powerful tool for the country, but a small one can be a stepping stone for one person. It seems that the clouds are calm and the wind is light, but it is actually the most important thing.

Although Jing Hanqing doesn't expect a literary giant to emerge from the Hengchang Clan in the future, she will still spare no effort to make the atmosphere of the Hengchang Clan more intense, and this will never change.

Hengchang Academy is still not the enemy of Nanling Academy in terms of foundation alone, and perhaps within a hundred years, it will be difficult to shake Nanling Academy.

However, the Hengchang School paid equal attention to civil and military affairs, and the probability of producing talents has subtly narrowed the distance with Nanling Academy. Although the progress has not been much, there has been some slight momentum.

Yu Wenjun was in a very good mood after hearing this. Since Gu Yong's resurrection, he has always been in a good mood, and now it is even more icing on the cake.

He smiled and said: "If children from rich families flock to Hengchang Academy, they can also open a door for children from poor families invisibly."

"It seems that what I did really displeased the family."

Guo Shenghe laughed loudly and said: "No, because of you, many aristocratic families paid much higher wages for coolies, and the purchase of slaves has also begun to be tight."

"I can't wait to smash your corpse into thousands of pieces and whip your corpse to vent your anger."

Yu Wenjun took a sip of Wannian spring tea and said with a triumphant smile: "People have different understandings and qualities, but it is wrong to determine a person's status as soon as he is born."

"People live in this world just to live better."

Jing Hanqing said: "There is one more thing that you have to decide by yourself."

The atmosphere here suddenly froze, and Yu Wenjun frowned slightly: "What's the matter?"

Gong Yan said: "At the beginning when we built the Hengchang Sect, we recruited tens of thousands of coolie craftsmen, and now we have achieved some results in opening up wasteland and farming. Although there is a blessing from the king, we have actually built houses, and those coolie craftsmen also have their own land. I have also embarked on the way of merchants, and these things will not affect anything at all."

"But there is an extremely sensitive issue, and that is how to solve the tax issue. The people under Hengchangzong's rule now have the ability to strengthen their finances, and they will be able to pay taxes normally starting next year."

"The amount of money is still unknown, but whether the tax will be handed over to the national treasury or in our hands."

It is true that Yu Wenjun has someone and the king's order is true, but if he digests the tax alone, he will be charged with the crime of resisting courtesy, which will give many aristocratic families a gap.

The owner of the king's order can freely handle the tax revenue under the rule, and Yu Wenjun's situation is different from most princes.

Jing Hanqing added: "The situation of the Hengchang Sect is very good. Many people who live in hardship are also willing to enter the sphere of influence of the Hengchang Sect. There will be a large number of people at that time. With the population, taxes can be created. Over time, it will be Not a small amount."

"If the tax can be attributed to us, it can also reduce a lot of financial burden."

"Although our situation is good, the financial situation is not optimistic. According to the current situation, even if sister Qiushui's business is getting better and better, sooner or later the supply will exceed the demand."

By mastering taxation, one can master the sovereignty of many political affairs.

Yu Wenjun pondered: "I will discuss this matter with others after I return to the imperial capital. It is impossible for all the tax revenue to fall into our hands, and we still have to share it with the treasury."

"With the value of paying taxes, the foundation of Hengchangzong will become more stable."

Some bottom lines cannot be crossed, and rules are rules.

After everyone heard about it, and thought about it carefully, it was also the same reason. Hengchangzong's original intention was not to expand its power, but to appease many people who needed appeasement.

If Yu Wenjun was only seeking self-interest, he probably would not have established Hengchangzong.

Yan Beiyou said: "There is another matter, which can be disputed or not. In the spring of the coming year, all major sects will go to Ruiyuan to hold the Qingyun Conference."

"Young disciples from various sects will compete with each other, and they will be divided into birth and death. Whichever sect wins the most will get a piece of Qingyun Token. Having the Qingyun Token in hand is naturally a lot of convenience."

"Such as the division of cultivation resources and the division of geomantic treasures."

The Qingyun Conference is the moment when the young disciples of the practice sect really become famous. If they are on the Qingyun list, their future prospects will not be too bad.

Secondly, they can also train the young people under their respective sects.

There are indeed some good young students under the gates of Guyue Pavilion and Dijian Valley, but generally speaking, some of them still can't make it to the stage.

Not to mention competing with disciples of famous sects such as Nanshan Sword Sect and Juntian Sect, it is also extremely difficult to compete with disciples of sects such as Feiyun Temple and Liyang Palace, and the overall strength is at a disadvantage.

Yu Wenjun asked Guo Shenghe thoughtfully, "In your opinion, what should we do?"

Guo Shenghe said, "There is a sect in the north called Taixuanzong. Although its foundation is not as good as Nanshan Jianzong, the strength of its disciples is slightly stronger than Nanshan Jianzong."

"Our old friend Li Huaiyi came from Taixuanzong. Although he will not participate in the Qingyun Conference, he also has a younger brother named Li Huai'an who will go for the Qingyun Order. The competition between the cultivation sects is not weaker than the competition in the temple. , some things are very deep, and indirectly affect the general trend of the world."

"Our Hengchang Sect has not been established for a long time, and there is not much benefit in fighting for a Qingyun order."

"It can be a favor, so that Taixuanzong can get Qingyun order."

"I don't want to form an alliance with Taixuanzong, but I want to form an incense. The practice sect is different from the temple officials. If someone really dislikes you, they will definitely die. There are not so many rules and regulations. The way is extremely wild."

"Forging a good relationship with Taixuanzong is a beginning."

"In this way, we must ensure that our disciples under the command of Hengchangzong can successfully decide with Li Huaian to be the leader."

"It's a pity that all of us present here are already well-known. Although we are of the right age, we cannot participate in the Qingyun Conference."

After saying this, Yu Wenjun subconsciously looked at Duguli, and then everyone looked at Duguli.

Being so valued, Dugu Li blushed slightly, and said shyly, "I know, don't look at me like that."

Yu Wenjun smiled strangely: "Inside, you are the elder of Hengchang Zong Keqing, outside, you are the No.1 of the younger generation of Hengchang Zong. After the Qingyun Conference is over, we will decide according to the situation."

Dugu Li said softly: "I see, for me, it is also a kind of practice."

Among other things, Dugu Li's combat strength can easily crush Guo Shenghe and the others. Although she has not yet fought against Wu Mi, she is estimated to be slightly stronger than Wu Mi.

Only in this way, Dugu Li couldn't go to the devil world to act despite Yu Wenjun.

Yu Wenjun comforted: "I can only work hard on you. If Zhang Benchu ​​is here, I can entrust him with such errands."

Dugu Li said softly, "It's okay."

The first time Guo Shenghe saw Dugu Li, he wanted to test Dugu Li's depth, but after hearing Yu Wenjun's explanation, he immediately gave up.

Although the few young people didn't say much, they were very clear about the fight in their hearts. They were really not Dugu Li's opponents...
