Chapter 117
Entering the city from the west gate, the new Hepu prefect Cui Ying is already waiting here, the prefect's mansion has been cleared out, just waiting for Li Qing to move in, the three classes of government servants in the city collectively stand guard on both sides.

"The ancestral temple is lonely and overwhelms the top of the city, overlooking the winding stream of Qinghao from below; the sun is blowing and the wind and dust are dark, and sometimes the flute and drum offer sacrifices to the Spring and Autumn.

Looking west to the thousands of trees in Taihao Temple, looking north to a hill of Fengjun soil; when tourists come to look at it, the heart of spring is easy to feel sad"

On the way, Li Qing suddenly heard someone reciting a poem, his voice was deep and powerful, with a trace of resentment, he couldn't help praising: "Good poem".

This man was in his 40s, wearing a shabby but very clean green shirt, his beard was well groomed, and moved slightly as he spoke, his body was thin and his face was full of sallowness.

Feeling Li Qing's scrutiny, the man cupped his hands and said, "Jingzhou Zhuchou pays homage to Duke Yue."

"I heard that there are many talented people in Jingzhou, and today I met Mr. Zhu, so I know what I said is true." Li Qing admired, and then asked, "Why is there so much resentment in Mr. Zhu's tone?"
Zhu Qiu said with a sad face: "I have been studying for [-] years, but unfortunately because of my birth, I have no way out, and even I can't eat enough. How can I not worry."

The tone was resentful, and both in and out of the words revealed a heart of underappreciated talents. At the same time, he carefully observed Li Qing, whether he can succeed or not depends on this time.

Li Qing smiled lightly, as soon as he saw this person, he knew what he was here for, judging by his luck, he was rosy, this blush should be the prestige brought by his studies, but the heaven is narrow, so he must have a vitriolic habit.

"It is fate to meet each other, why not visit the Hepu Town God's Temple together"

Seeing that Li Qing didn't speak out to solicit, Zhu Chou's heart sank. If Li Qing disagreed, he would have nowhere to go. He forced a smile and said, "It's a great pleasure to travel with the Duke of Yue. ".

Li Qing laughed loudly, and walked into the newly built Chenghuang Temple.

Since he was promoted to the City God with the help of human luck, he appointed various counties and counties to build the City God Temple by administrative order, and selected celebrities from all over the history or Longting virtuous officials to serve as the City God and land in Yangjian, which belonged to the jurisdiction of the Yin Division, and Shinto began to show prosperity.

The Town God's Temple is built on the mountain, with the Hehe Mountain behind it, and the Pearl River surrounds the Town God's Temple, which is very elegant.

"What do you think of the scenery of this temple, sir?"

Zhu Qiu's expression was startled, Li Qing was asking about the scenery of the temple on the surface, but in fact he was asking about the impact of the God of City God on Jiaozhou.

Thinking secretly in his heart, it is rumored that many gods have appeared in Jiaozhou in recent years, and what is even more strange is that these gods are all from Li Qing's sphere of influence, and develop with the advancement of Li Qing's influence, the meaning of which is thought-provoking.

"Many gods have appeared in Jiaozhou recently, including door gods, household gods, and even toilet gods. They seem to be different from the gods in the past. They are more enthusiastic about incense and clean up evil spirits, allowing people to walk at night. This is unprecedented in the state."

Speaking of this, he secretly observed Li Qing's expression, seeing the other party smiling, he knew it well, and continued: "But there are risks hidden in it, firstly, the gods in the world must be dissatisfied, and secondly, these newly born creatures are naturally in competition with the Taoist sect. state, and the Duke of Yue who promotes their development will also be resisted by all the Taoists in the world."

Li Qing nodded secretly. This person's analysis was very pertinent, but since he half-disclosed the matter, he thought about the resistance he would face.

At this time, Miao Zhu brought paper and pen, and asked Li Qing to keep his calligraphy.

The City God Temple was newly built, and it was indeed the fastest way to increase the incense in the name of Li Qing, the lord of Jiaozhou. This was a win-win situation, and Li Qing would naturally not refuse.

Thinking about it with a pen, an old man in the city god's official uniform was looking at him attentively on the divine case, and he couldn't help but laugh in his heart. This person must be the local city god.

"The bamboo shadows in Heshan are thousands of years old, the clouds lock the peaks and the water flows by itself.

The jade belt floats on the long river, and a bright moon rolls a golden ball.

Megatron is three thousand miles northwest and overwhelms millions of states in the southeast.

The beautiful scenery is endless for a while, and Tianyuan has a share to visit again. "

"good poetry"

Zhu Qiu admired, such talent is admirable, and what surprised him even more was the ambition leaked in the poem, which is powerful for three thousand miles in the northwest and over a million states in the southeast.It seems that Li Qing is not satisfied with the land of Jiaozhou. Yizhou is in the northwest, Jingzhou and Yangzhou are in the southeast, which are also the three directions for Jiaozhou to expand outward.

"My government is temporarily short of a Zhongshu Sheren, who is responsible for drafting the call-to-action and summarizing the official documents. I don't know if the gentleman is willing to give in."

"Dare not to accept orders, my minister Zhuchou pays homage to the lord"

Zhu Qiu hastily knelt down and thanked him. Zhongshushe was a seventh-rank official, which was just right for him. What's even more amazing was that this position was close to the center, and he was often by Li Qing's side, so it was convenient for him to show off his talents nearby.

"Sir, follow me to rest"

Li Qing walked out of the Town God's Temple with a smile, and the Hepu City God bowed to see him off.

When they came to the Taishou's mansion, the soldiers came in and resettled. Li Qing and Zhu Qiu were walking and chatting in the garden.

Li Qing's heart moved, since You Chang went to deal with the relocation of the ancestral tomb, there has been no sound, this is the first time to ask for an interview.

"Send him in"

Soon You Chang walked over quickly, and got up after saluting.

Li Qing invites You Chang to take a seat, his personal guards bring food and drinks, and he enjoys the beautiful scenery in the garden for dinner.

"How is things going sir?"

You Chang didn't dare to neglect, put down the bowl and chopsticks and replied: "The mausoleum has been built, and the relocation can be prepared after the Lord agrees."

"Um"

Li Qing nodded, Yulin County is not far from here, you can go and see for yourself after a while, there is one thing that needs to be inquired carefully, that is Youchang's attitude towards the gods of Jiaozhou, otherwise you won't feel at ease when using it.

"What do you think of the door gods and other gods that have recently appeared in Jiaozhou? I heard that the various branches of the Central Plains have some criticisms about this."

You Chang's face froze, the gods and the Taoist sect have been restraining each other since ancient times, the Taoist sect regards the gods as moths of human nature, and the gods that appeared in Jiaozhou now also have an influence on him.

But he couldn't object.

There are two or three kittens in Yuguimen, and the recent increase in luck is entirely due to Li Qing's unification of Jiaozhou. If he opposes, he will definitely break with Li Qing, and the Qianlong luck that he finally obtained will disappear.

He felt ruthless in his heart, anyway, the Taoist sect of the Central Plains regarded him as a heretic sect of controlling ghosts, so why not cooperate with these new gods.

With a secret sigh, he returned respectfully: "My lord, Yuguimen only knows to follow the lord, whatever Yuguimen chooses the lord will naturally follow, as for the dissatisfaction of the Taoist sect, what do I have to do?"
"You can have this idea, and the day when the Gate of Ghosts will flourish is not far away."

Li Qing pondered for a moment and said, "I set up the Sixth Division of the Central Center, and additionally set up Ghost Forbidden Cao to deal with sacrifices to ghosts and gods and clean up adulterous priests. For the time being, it is the seventh grade. Everyone from the Yuguimen can work in the Ghost Forbidden Cao in every county."

"Thank you my lord"

Youchang is overjoyed, the luck of Zheng Qipin from Qianlong has increased several times than before, and Yuguimen can achieve great prosperity through this.

Li Qing smiled and said: "Don't thank me in a hurry, your task is not easy, soon there will be city gods, land gods and other gods everywhere, you have to cooperate with them to clean up illegal sacrifices and kill evil spirits."

"Yes"

You Chang agreed, then took his leave and left.

After he left, Zhu Chou frowned and said, "My lord, since ancient times, the imperial court has used Taoist sects with a low level of authority to prevent the loss of luck. My lord, you must pay attention to it."

Now that he has joined the Duke system of the Yue State, he must consider everything for the Lord. He felt that the Lord's doing this seemed inappropriate, so he hurriedly spoke out to persuade him to build a new Jiaozhou.
