Chapter 73 Deputy Leader of the Valley God Cult
The unfolding events made Xu Tianyi truly feel that destiny was on his side.
Their friendly relationship with the Black and White Impermanence allowed them to attract the attention of the Golden Guard without informing the King of Chu of their existence.
The complex relationship between the judge and Wei Qing also kept the secret.
Then the Shen family helped cover it up.
And the incompetent prefect and general of Leizhou wavered back and forth.
In this way, Taikang County had at least another month to develop.
During this period, virtually no one paid attention to Taikang, this small county town.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xu Tianyi used a strong and oppressive policy, which led to the rapid transformation of the entire county.
Capitalism began to emerge.
Under the leadership of capitalist Xu Tianyi, his many key employees learned to apply what they learned to other situations after a month of work.
Along with the hundreds of warriors and five hundred soldiers below, they all became strict managers.
If someone is seen slacking off, the first thing to do is to try to persuade them, and if they don't listen, then hit them.
As a result, there were no more idle hooligans on the streets.
The troublemakers were all arrested and sent to repair the dam, and the public order naturally improved.
With Xu Tianyi's connections, many capable and prestigious individuals naturally emerged among these common people.
These individuals, recommended by at least ten people, received better working conditions and monetary rewards, and successfully became class monitors, group leaders, and supervisors.
With their cooperation and the people arranged by Xu Tianyi to supervise and manage, the dam was quickly repaired, the houses were rebuilt and planned, and the spring plowing was also planned.
His subordinates began to learn by analogy and their wisdom grew, while Xu Tianyi began to constantly brainwash them and boost their morale.
Simply put, it's just empty promises.
First tell them that they will receive benefits if they listen and do as they are told.
Even if the imperial court recovers Taikang, you won't lose out if you get the benefits.
Then tell them that the best performers can enter the mountain stronghold with their whole families, and they won't be afraid even if the imperial court comes.
Later, they could go to other counties, become higher-ranking officials, command more people, and even attend schools for free, and learn martial arts from masters.
After a complete brainwashing process, the entire organization sounds much more legitimate.
Another month has quietly passed.
As time flew by, Xu Tianyi felt that his life was becoming more and more fulfilling.
His cultivation level soared to the peak of Martial Spirit because he had done many good deeds and gained a lot of popular support.
At this moment, he needs to consider the path to becoming a grandmaster.
To become a grandmaster, one must create or modify one's own techniques.
Every master has their own insights and understanding, so everyone has a different way of practicing the same technique.
Gu Qinghan didn't know the Qi Refining Techniques of the Wuji Royal Family, and Gu Feixue hadn't taught her much either.
Currently, he has limited access to cultivation techniques. The Valley God Sect's techniques are wood-based and of a low grade.
Therefore, he was completely clueless at the moment.
It's too difficult to find better techniques to refer to.
Now I only regret not asking Ning Hongye about her cultivation technique; I estimate that her Extreme Yin Technique is also at an extremely high level.
Xu Tianyi could only consider heading to the Fog Sea to find Cui Sanniang and Ji Canghai.
This water-fire combination is still together; let's try to learn from their techniques.
In this world, the strongest techniques are nothing more than a few.
The Yin-Yang cultivation method of the Hidden Clan.
The extreme Yin and Yang techniques of Kunlun and Lieyang.
Royal Qi Refining Technique.
Old Man Liu Lian's Reverse Five Elements Technique.
The Reverse Five Elements Technique of All Things.
All other techniques are inferior.
For example, the Kun Yuan True Qi of the Yue family, the Huo Yan True Qi of the Ji family, and the Xuan Shui True Qi of the Wu and Cui families.
There are also things like the Netherworld Impermanence Skill from the Impermanence Department.
Having figured all this out, Xu Tianyi saw that things had stabilized in the county.
They also selected a scenic mountain stronghold nearby, with a rugged terrain that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, as their base.
Liu Qingfeng is currently under construction.
The location is near the breach of the dike in Taikang County. The mountain itself has no name, but the locals call it Grass Snake Mountain.
Simply put, there are many snakes on the mountain.
There are also many snake breeders down the mountain. Snakes are a good medicine, so they can naturally be sold for money.
He doesn't need to worry about these things.
After making all the preparations, they found a sunny day and prepared to leave by boat with Gu Qinghan.
Unexpectedly, the Valley God Cult, which had been silent for a long time, took notice of them.
Liu Qingfeng was previously just a sect leader of the Valley God Sect.
The Grain God Cult chose him because he was somewhat famous in Taikang County.
At this moment, Ma Luping, the vice leader of the Valley God Sect, seemed to have heard some rumors and came with a group of his confidants.
Xu Tianyi had no choice but to suppress his own desire to go to Bowuhai and received him at the county government office.
Ma Luping, Grandmaster level.
Originally, he was a captain of the henchmen of an underground gang. After obtaining the cultivation techniques of the sect leader Yu Linglong, his cultivation level skyrocketed.
With his extraordinary talent, he first killed the gang leader, turned the tables on himself, and then knelt before Yu Linglong to swear allegiance.
Seeing that he still had some ability, Yu Linglong, out of amusement, bestowed upon him a relatively suitable cultivation technique.
These techniques were all stolen by Yu Linglong.
That's right, he lived alone from the age of eight and possessed at least the cultivation level of a Grandmaster.
With no one to supervise her, Yu Linglong naturally enjoyed playing.
As a child, I stole grapes and watermelons; as an adult, I stole gold and silver treasures, as well as the treasures and martial arts techniques of powerful families.
If she weren't a wanted criminal from the Hidden Clan, she might have just robbed her.
Now, she is over eighty years old, and she still loves to have fun.
She's different from Canaan. Canaan steals with a purpose, but she does it purely for fun.
In conclusion, Ma Luping's ability to incite rebellion in three prefectures demonstrates his considerable competence.
He is also very ambitious.
Hearing that the eldest princess had actually come to Taikang County and even taken over his own power, he was shocked.
He naturally had to come and take a look.
Along the way, he saw the repaired dam, the simply repaired official road, the workers building the mountain stronghold, and the well-ordered city.
He was somewhat surprised, as this princess was said to have fled in her early years.
I never expected them to have such abilities.
Upon entering the county town, Liu Qingfeng came to greet them.
He knew Liu Qingfeng; the latter had even visited him before.
Unexpectedly, he and others did not see that kind of respect and longing in his eyes, which made him feel a little unhappy.
"Master Liu, I didn't expect Taikang County to be so peaceful. It seems Her Highness the Princess is quite adept at governing..."
His words carried a hint of mockery; clearly, he was somewhat resentful and disrespectful...
In the past, Liu Qingfeng would have wholeheartedly agreed with these words.
After all, in their eyes, these members of the royal family, or rather, high-ranking officials, were all greedy villains and incompetent.
Hearing this now, he only felt annoyed.
"Vice Sect Leader, please watch your words! We, her subordinates, must naturally respect Her Highness the Princess's actions..."
Ma Luping's face twitched; he hadn't expected him to retort.
He immediately realized that the man was no longer his loyal subordinate and had genuinely switched his allegiance to the so-called princess.
"Heh...it seems that Master Liu has great faith in the Princess..."
Liu Qingfeng chuckled: "The one in charge of this city is Prince Consort Xu Tianyi. Once you meet Prince Consort Xu, the Vice Sect Leader will know everything."
Ma Luping frowned, unsure of this prince consort's background, but without further thought, he simply snorted coldly, "Lead the way!"
As he continued on his journey, many questions arose in his mind.
"Master Liu, what are they doing here?"
Ma Luping saw a large crowd of people gathered around a small stage where a scholar was giving a speech. He didn't pay attention to the noise and asked a question.
Liu Qingfeng smiled slightly: "This is a public notice board. Generally speaking, there will be fifty of them set up throughout the city."
Each notice board informs the public about various things, such as recent high-achieving individuals, those promoted, and troublemakers.
Ma Luping frowned: "Do we really need to mention these things to them specifically?"
"That's natural. Those who do well and contribute to Taikang County should be mentioned to motivate the people. At the same time, the perpetrators should be severely reprimanded to show them what social death is."
"Heh... the royal family is indeed adept at winning people's hearts... they really know how to put on a good show..."
Ma Luping felt a sense of disgust but immediately continued walking forward.
Soon, he saw a group of yamen runners whipping several people.
"How dare you!!"
He immediately flew into a rage and slapped the constable.
Liu Qingfeng was startled and quickly stepped forward to stop him.
The powerful palm strike sent him flying backward, but fortunately, the opponent hadn't used much force.
Ma Luping angrily retorted, "We rose up for the sake of ordinary people, so why do you dare to beat them up under your rule!"
Liu Qingfeng steadied himself: "Vice Leader, does this mean that once the uprising succeeds, the people can act recklessly?"
"All I see is this bunch of bastards in dog skin whipping the people!"
"Are you just going to take action without any explanation? What if he's committed a crime, like theft or robbery? Are you going to ignore that?"
Ma Luping chuckled and said, "Look at him, he's thinly dressed and skinny. We started this uprising to help them survive, but now he can't even survive and you're still exploiting him!"
"So, now that you've joined the royal family, you think you're superior to everyone else, huh?"
Liu Qingfeng shook his head and looked at the three constables beside him: "Tell the vice leader what this person has done."
The three constables beside him calmed their frightened hearts and said nervously, "This man idles away his days. We arranged for him to repair roads, but he often ran back halfway because he was tired. He even broke into his neighbor Liu Laosan's house while he was repairing the road and tried to take advantage of Liu Laosan's daughter. He also stole money and food from other people's homes many times. Now that he has been caught, he will naturally be whipped, castrated, and exiled to repair the mountain stronghold."
No sooner had these words been spoken than the criminal kneeling on the ground began to kowtow.
"Innocent!! I didn't do it! I went in because I saw a thief had broken into Liu Laosan's house and wanted to help... Vice Leader, they're lying to you, I'm a law-abiding citizen..."
Ma Luping flew into a rage: "Fine! Fabricating lies! Maliciously framing someone! I knew it! You lot, following the royal family, are no different from those corrupt officials! Release him now!!"
