Kunlun one millet

Chapter 309

"Isn't it possible?" He Qingchen said: "Instead of letting the government spend money and money to worship, it's better to let the country cultivate it from the beginning. And as long as the regulations are clearly stipulated, the world's talents will flock to them, and the talents will be under the control of the court. It's better than sending people in the past." It is safe and convenient to search and inspect various places.”

At the beginning, Zhao Mi planned to promote the establishment of disciplines and select scholars, so he had this kind of thought in mind. Unfortunately, after compiling the laws and regulations, he wrote to the Lord Huaxu, but there was no reply. Obviously, all parties were aiming at Liang Tao's ascension to the altar. , no time to promote the selection of scholars.

As for the Huaxu country ten years later, it is even more chaotic, and it is impossible to start a new system, but Xiong Guo learned it.

"To tell you the truth, I've actually been trying to implement it. It's just that it's not about school examination techniques, but about laws and regulations." He Qingchen got up and went to the side to search, but faced with the hill-like books and volumes, he searched for them. I found nothing for a long time, so I had to shout outside: "Sanniang, where did I put my "Huanglushuyi"?"

At this time, a woman in a bright red dress came out from the back hall. Her skin was whiter than snow and her appearance was beautiful, but her eyes were sharp and her waist was wrapped with a golden sword. She was full of sword intent.

The woman in red found the book with ease, handed it to He Qingchen, then came to the desk, raised her hand to touch the cup, and found that the tea in it had already cooled completely, she said slightly reproachfully:

"How many times have I told you? You need to use warm food more often to prevent the cold from hurting the spleen and stomach."

"Huh? Oh... I'm used to drinking cold tea, which can refresh my mind." He Qingchen replied.

Sanniang frowned slightly, looked at Qian Shaobai, and reprimanded: "As a junior, don't you know how to be considerate of your elders? When it's meal time, don't keep him busy."

Qian Shaobai hurriedly got up and cupped his hands: "Yes...the junior was negligent."

"As for you." Sanniang looked at Zhao Mi with her hips on her hips, her eyes flashed, she held the hilt of the sword, and the invisible sword intent passed Zhao Mi up and down, and then snorted coldly: "Hiding your head and face, the origin is unknown, could it be Are you here to assassinate?"

"Okay, why are you acting like a housekeeper?" Before Zhao Mi could speak, He Qingchen interrupted: "He is the master of Xuanpu Hall I invited, and he was the one who beheaded him in Puji City before. Cao Qingwei and others."

"It's him?" Sanniang stared at Zhao Mi closely, her face full of doubts, and her whole body was full of sword spirit, which made the air in the main hall stagnate. Looking at Zhao Mi with Yingxuan's lighting technique, Zhao Mi was surrounded by dozens of people at the moment. Hundreds of sharp swords pointed at a distance, can seal the throat and pierce the chest at any time.

"If Taoist friends want to test Xu's cultivation base and mana, I'm afraid this place is a little cramped. It's not good to damage the official document book." Zhao Mi replied expressionlessly, but he was also slightly surprised at the same time. It seems that the woman who is the third mother is not subject to the restrictions of the emperor.

"Enough!" He Qingchen threw the scroll on the table, with a solemn expression: "San Niang, I trust this person, you don't need to be suspicious."

Sanniang snorted coldly, restrained her mana and said, "Go eat first."

"I'm still talking about business here..." Before He Qingchen finished speaking, Sanniang asked, "Don't you even listen to me?"

At this moment, the high-ranking and powerful Master Zuo Xiang looked helpless, so he had to say to Zhao Mi: "You go to Taipingfang to have a look first, and we will talk about the rest later."

After He Qingchen and Sanniang left, Zhao Mi asked Qian Shaobai: "What is the origin of this Sanniang? What makes Master Zuoxiang so afraid? Could it be that Master Zuoxiang is also a person who is afraid of his own conscience?"

"Fear of internal affairs? Uh... almost." Qian Shaobai's face was a bit perplexed: "That is Zhu Sanniang, the elder of Xihe Jiange. I heard that she had a marriage contract with Lord Zuoxiang in the early years. It's just that Zhu Sanniang's father, brother and clan died on the battlefield , Since then, the family has declined, and the marriage contract has not been fulfilled.

However, Zhu Sanniang had achieved success in cultivation in Jiange of Xihe. Later, Master Zuo Xiang went down the mountain and set foot in the court, and Zhu Sanniang followed him.As for the relationship between the two, it seems that no one has taken that step.Moreover, Mr. Zuo Xiang has not married yet and has no heirs. "

"This is...unexpected." Zhao Mi was quite emotional. With He Qingchen's status and position, but he was alone and did not have a family, it was enough to show that he was determined with his heart.

But Zhao Mi thought again, isn't he also alone?Sometimes the concern of family and relatives can actually distract me.

……

With the appointment of He Qingchen, Zhao Shu settled down in the Zanli Department logically and began to organize the rituals and rituals.

It has to be said that although Zhao Shu's ancestors accumulated a large number of rituals and rituals in praise of officials, at best they are only a family of books.

After He Qingchen established the Zanli Department, he gathered the strength of Xiong Guo to collect Buddhist scriptures. Among them, in addition to the inheritance of Zanli officials scattered all over the place, many of them came from sects that withered due to the century-old war.

It can be said that this move almost reproduced the grand occasion of setting up a tribute officer and collecting Buddhist scriptures in the early years of the Tianxia Dynasty.

Moreover, the Taipingfang Zanli Department also brought together [-] warlocks from all over the Xiong Kingdom. Although none of them can surpass Zhao Mi in scientific rituals, the dispersion and evolution of hundreds of years has also opened Zhao Mi's eyes.

For example, although some quacks knew a few operations, they were actually stonemasons, carpenters, and masons who built houses, and even felled trees and laid waste.

In Zhao Mi's view, most of them are witches and gods, and they only know some superficial tricks such as drawing ghost symbols, burning incense and arresting spirits, and burying nails in nightmare towns.They pretend to be gods and ghosts in the countryside and markets, and they will also blackmail the people and steal chickens and dogs. They belong to the type of people that I despise the most in the past.

However, after some exchanges, Zhao Mi gradually discovered that most of them are poor people. Their ancestors may be the ceremonial officials appointed by the Tianxia Dynasty to the local counties, or they may be the village witches who passed down the magic skills from generation to generation. To make a living by inheriting the scriptures.

And the techniques these people master are closely related to their own professions.For example, the top warlock who cuts trees and releases platoons can arrest mountain spirits and water monsters, so as to open roads in the mountains and build bridges in the water.

If they encountered troubles caused by aquariums during the discharge of rivers, they would beat the big drums as a deterrent, and they could also use the sound of the choreographers to sing their horns to calm the eddies and undercurrents so that the wooden rafts could pass through safely.

Another example is that a sorcerer who practices masonry can set up an enchantment to prevent the house from being burned, and there is no lack of means to exorcise evil spirits and summon spirits to protect the house.

They can even turn it upside down, burying iron nails in front of the house and behind the house, intimidating the owner of the house, making them unable to sleep peacefully, and even attracting ghosts and ghosts.This method is usually used on wealthy landlords who squeeze the hard work of artisans.

What's more interesting is that there are still some craftsmen who dig mountains, mine, and smelt iron. They actually figured out the way to smelt iron with cursed water by themselves, and they are only one step away from forging rune soldiers.

Zhao Mi was deeply shocked by all these, changed his mind and re-examined, and found that these superficial and almost vulgar techniques actually concealed many mysteries, which were a great complement to his previous rituals and regulations.

Back then, the laws and regulations compiled by Zhao Shu focused on the Dao Kingdom in the human world, and focused on the layout of the mandala and the adjustment and use of Qi. Even if it was proposed to select scholars, there was no clear method.

At that time, Zhao Mi's experience was not as good as it is today, and many things were conceived out of thin air, without considering how the actual implementation would be.

Now seeing the gang of quack warlocks like the Zanli Division, Zhao Mi vaguely understood that perhaps the rituals and rituals should not blindly pursue profoundness. Others may not have such attainments as their own. .

He Qingchen wanted Zhao Mi's help in unifying etiquette, so he naturally hoped that it could be adopted in all parts of the world. This kind of thing should be simple and popular.

Zhao Mi pondered for a long time, and spent more than half a year. After consulting various scientific rituals and rituals, he recompiled a set of rituals and regulations, still retaining the pattern of five directions and five qi, but discarding many difficult and tedious details.

It is not entirely correct to say that it is abandoned, because in Zhao Shu's vision, the future ceremonial officials will accumulate merits and improve step by step according to the "Three Days and Nine Grades Guidelines", and then pass on the corresponding rituals, which will also be deepened step by step.

During this process, Zhao Mi often consulted with He Qingchen, and roughly established the requirements for the transfer of accumulated merits, as well as the corresponding salary, silver and lumi for high and low ranks.

In this way, the tribute officials of the Xiong Kingdom will no longer be pure magicians, but will completely become a member of the national bureaucracy.

In addition, He Qingchen is also preparing to open libraries in various places. At present, they are first opened in the capital of the emperor and nearby counties, which has attracted a large number of children of princes and ministers to come to study, and Zhao Mi will also teach in person.

Many people thought that since it was the academy run by Mr. Zuo Xiang himself, it must be a shortcut for future advancement, so they flocked to it.

Zhao Mi was worried at first that if things go on like this, the future tribute officials will also be dominated by nobles and dignitaries, but He Qingchen doesn't care too much, because his eyes are not limited to the vicinity of the imperial capital.

Along with it, there are also Buddhist altars spread throughout Youxiong Country.There is no doubt that this matter is to re-imitate the Tianxia Dynasty's act of establishing discipline and laws.

Different from Liang Tao's Dao Kingdom on Earth at the beginning, the Tianxia Dynasty's laws and regulations did not have a specific person who took control of the heaven and earth. Just like in the Tianxia Dynasty, the arrangement of the laws and regulations was a long process, which lasted for nearly a hundred years. It's done overnight.

Zhao Mi had to admit again that Liang Tao's Dao Kingdom on Earth was really too aggressive, and he personally faced the power of heaven and earth. The mainstay of the country.

It's just that He Qingchen is more concerned about the unification of etiquette and law than laying emphasis on establishing discipline and law. After more than half a year of preparations, in addition to compiling the law and rituals, Zhao Mi is also teaching the five hundred newly promoted ceremony officials.

He Qingchen didn't demand how proficient these five hundred people were in rituals and rituals, because in the future he would assign these people to various places in Youxiong Kingdom.

Most of these [-] newly promoted ceremonial officials came from mediocre backgrounds, they were able to gain the appreciation of the left minister and came to the imperial capital, and they were also instructed by "Xu Huaiyu", an expert of the immortal family. After half a year, they have been somewhat reborn. For He Qing Chen's loyalty can also be imagined.

Unknowingly, spring passed and autumn came, when Zhao Mi sent off the third batch of praise officials, he stood in the courtyard and saw the snow covered branches, only to realize that he had been here for nearly a year.

"You are free." At this moment, He Qingchen came, followed by Zhu Sanniang, who was full of sword spirit.

"I just need to concentrate on compiling laws and regulations and imparting legal rituals, unlike Mr. Zuo Xiang who has to deal with everything every day." Zhao Mi's words are true. He has lived a very fulfilling life this year, but he is not as poor as he was in Huaxu Country. Deliberately.

On the other hand, He Qingchen, he was originally an old man with gray beard and hair, but after this year, his complexion became a little stagnant, not as healthy as before.

Although He Qingchen also has a foundation in cultivation, it is far from advanced. Moreover, he is in a high position and has a lot of work, so he has almost no time for self-cultivation and recuperation. Naturally, it is difficult to curb the signs of aging.

Inviting He Qingchen to sit down in the room, Zhao Mi brought a pot of fragrant tea: "This is the Jingshan jade bud that the King of Yue gave me a few days ago, it has the effect of dredging the veins and nourishing the muscles and bones, Mr. Zuo, why not taste it? "

As soon as He Qingchen picked up the cup, Zhu Sanniang leaned over and took a closer look for a moment, and after confirming that it was correct, he allowed He Qingchen to drink it.

"Hey, after being teased by you like this, all my food and drink are tasteless." He Qingchen waved at Zhu Sanniang and said, "You go out first, I have something to say to Xu Xianshi."

"You forgot that a spy who was trying to poison you was caught in the mansion two months ago." Zhu Sanniang looked at Zhao Mi with a straight face: "How do you know that this person is not here to murder you?"

He Qingchen shook his head and smiled: "It's not the first time I've been alone with him, why should you worry too much?"

"You guys just chat, I'll watch by the side." Zhu Sanniang didn't leave either, but stood in the corner, watching Zhao Mi's every move.

Zhao Mi didn't care, and asked, "Another person tried to assassinate?"

"It's not surprising." He Qingchen said with a smile: "After the Rising Sun Sect was destroyed, I took the opportunity to order all the counties and counties to study their appearance and lose their nationality. .”

"Assassinating the Prime Minister of the Left, this is not heresy." Zhao Mi said: "The emperor is heavily guarded, and the servants who can help the Prime Minister are not randomly selected. I am afraid that obstructing the government's search for Ding Tiandi is the second. In order to cover up the real purpose, it is difficult..."

"Don't ask about this matter." He Qingchen interrupted Zhao Mi's words.

"Forget it." After all, Zhao Mi is an outsider, and he doesn't care about the disputes in Xiong Guo's court.

He Qingchen turned to ask: "Do you think that next year we can start setting up subjects to select scholars?"

"Next year? No!" Zhao Mi replied decisively: "I actually think that the ceremonial officials who have been trained in less than a year are already in a hurry. To rectify the etiquette and to teach in the museum, there is no one who will not see the results in three to five years."

"I know, but I hope that through the establishment of subject selection, all the monks who are still in the private sector will be recruited." He Qingchen said: "The establishment of subject selection is not done every year, but it can be scattered. The monks and artisans who have been placed under the jurisdiction of the imperial court can gather people's hearts and manpower."

As soon as Zhao Mi heard this, he knew that He Qingchen had another plan, so he asked: "We have gathered so many monks in a hurry, we must use them, I'm afraid it's not easy to arrange. Could it be that there is another big change coming ?”
