Chapter 2290 No One in the Court Should Be an Official
When they arrived near Liangwang Mountain, Xu Yi did not enter rashly, but rushed towards the nearby Mr. Ge's mountain gate.
Since he was going to give out benefits, Xu Yi naturally didn't want to get anything in return. If nothing else, he had to at least become familiar with him.
With Xu Yi's identity and the reason for giving benefits to the other big bosses, it would not be difficult to meet them.
But Xu Yi wanted to see the government official, so Mr. Ge's intervention was needed.
When Xu Yi arrived, Mr. Ge was cooking a pot of fragrant tea, and the aroma could be heard from a long distance away.
"Brother Ge is so interested. If I remember correctly, this should be the Sunny Sky Jadeite from Piaomiao Peak. I have heard of its name for a long time, but have never seen it. Today I feel like I have been honored by Brother Ge."
Xu Yi said with a smile.
Today, he and Mr. Ge have become familiar with each other, and they are quite fond of each other. Except that he has not released Mr. Ge's restrictions that do not affect Mr. Ge's practice and life, the two have become like friends.
Mr. Ge said, "This is only a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so don't expect to get some inventory from me."
"Aren't you stingy?"
Xu Yi sat down opposite him, his nostrils twitching and the faint fragrance entering his stomach, he couldn't help but feel at ease.
Mr. Ge picked up the jade green stove and shared a cup for Xu Yi, "You are wrong to blame me for this. I only got this pot. The last time the government order mentioned it, I didn't take it. Today, if it weren't for I want to apologize to you, Brother Xu, but I can’t bear to take out the inventory at the bottom of the box.”
Xu Yi's eyebrows twitched, and the tea cup that was being brought to his mouth stopped. He stared at Mr. Ge and said, "What, could it be that the government official doesn't want to see me?"
Mr. Ge shook his head, sighed and said, "It's not that I don't want to see you, it's that I don't want to see you. Anyway, you and I are not outsiders, so I'll just tell you the truth, Brother Xu, you are the subordinate of Dongshan." , I’m afraid it needs to be moved.”
After rubbing against the ground, Xu Yi stood up, the hair all over his body exploded, and the torrential flames forced Mr. Ge to break into a cold sweat on his forehead.
Xu Yi said in a ferocious voice, "Xu took charge of Dongshan, retreated from the Yellow River and opened up the country, pacified evil cults, and governed civil society. In less than a year, the population increased by 60%. The three originally barren cities have become a rich land. Such achievements cannot be overemphasized." Why do you want to ask for a reward from the government, but you still want to take away my position as the subordinate of Dongshan?"
Xu Yi felt that he had been wronged greatly!
Mr. Ge said, "Brother Xu is a wise man. He naturally understands this official matter. How can he judge the merits of the matter based on right and wrong?"
Xu Yi was silent, and the evil spirit he had released was gone in an instant.
He was not an innocent person. He was just angry before, but now he has calmed down. He stared at Mr. Ge calmly and said, "Is there any room for easing this matter?"
Mr. Ge shook his head and said, "Speaking of which, Brother Xu's tenure as an official was too short. If it had been a few years, he would naturally not have asked this question. Just imagine how much oil and water a subordinate order brings, and all of them are favourites. Dongshan is closely watched by all the major forces. If the conditions of Dongshan were not very difficult, it would be almost impossible to achieve political achievements. There is also a monster like Huang Kai, combined with the black lotus, it is like a fire cave. The position of Dongshan's commander, regardless of How can it not fall into the hands of Brother Xu, does Brother Xu think so?"
Xu Yi nodded slightly, obviously agreeing with Mr. Ge's analysis.
Originally, this was obvious and there was nothing to be pretentious about.
Mr. Ge continued, "And today's Dongshan, where the yellow leaves are blooming, the black lotus is scattered, and the people are abundant, it is a beautiful land, just like a treasure. But Brother Xu, you have no roots, so such a treasure falls into your hands, just like How can a baby be safe walking in a busy city with a treasure? If Brother Xu hadn't had the power to destroy the black lotus on Dongshan Mountain, which was so dazzling that it reached the ancestral court, I'm afraid you wouldn't have been able to wait for the harvest of wishing pearls, so you would have had to move to another place."
"Now that you have accepted the wishing beads, those people will no longer be polite to you. Secretly, the competition among all parties has already begun for the position of the new Dongshan subordinate commander. Therefore, if you do not move your position, it will be wrong. It's possible. Of course, it's not all bad news. After all, you are a meritorious official. I have informed the government order to prevent you from jumping to the next level to appeal. The government order will help you find a good position as appropriate. "
"In addition, since you are no longer in charge of the Dongshan Subordinate Order, this expensive trip to the dock can be ended early, and the wishing beads saved are also a considerable amount of wealth."
The slight good news after the huge blow could not calm Xu Yi's depression.
But the situation had become such that it was beyond human control. Thinking about it now, he couldn't help but laugh at himself for his simplicity.
At that time, there was a good harvest of wishing pearls, and he also dreamed of living in the position of Dongshan Subordinate for a long time and enjoying a large number of wishing pearls in his pocket every year.
In this cruel world of spiritual practice, having such an idea is so childish that it makes people laugh.
While secretly laughing, Xu Yi's brain was also racing. He was wondering if there was any way to save it.
Let Huang Kai come back? Invite the Black Lotus Cult troops to re-enter, and the remnant people will drastically reduce the population of the three cities...
One ruthless idea was running through his mind, but he finally rejected it.
What do the people of the three cities deserve?
Although he has hardened his heart after practicing so far, he is not to the point where he regards human life as nothing, and he will not treat people who have no cultivation like ants like other monks.
"That's all, I can't let myself take advantage of it all by myself."
After all, nothing could be changed, and Xu Yi could only comfort himself silently in his heart.
He was not someone who looked away. Since he could not occupy the throne of Dongshan Subordinate Order, he naturally wanted to try his best to find a more favorable situation for himself on this basis.
He picked up the teacup and drank it all, "Brother Ge, since he has a clear understanding of my situation, and even the subordinate order has taken care of Xu, I must have some ideas about the position of Xu, the Dongshan subordinate order. You and I are not outsiders. , Brother Ge will not let me down, if you have any suggestions, please make it clear, Xu will definitely choose what is good and follow it."
Mr. Ge gave a thumbs up, "Brother Xu can take things up and put them down. He is worthy of being a hero in the world. To be honest with Brother Xu, Ge did plan a lot for Brother Xu. There are many forces competing for the Dongshan Subordinate Order, but There are only four or five companies that are most promising. But the four or five companies are currently evenly matched. Brother Xu, your strength is very crucial. If it works well, you may be able to get a good seat, which is considered a loss. Harvest the mulberry trees."
Xu Yi looked confused and said, "My power? These big shots are fighting for it. What power do I have?"
Mr. Ge shared another cup of tea for Xu Yi and said, "Brother Xu, don't underestimate yourself. The Black Lotus Sect has been in trouble for many years, and even the ancestral court has turned its attention to it, but I have never heard of anyone who has completely eliminated the Black Lotus Sect." ? The merits you have made have already reached Zuting. Although Zuting has not responded yet, no one can ignore it. This is also the reason why no one chooses to use force against you. They just wait for you to recognize the situation and retreat. In short , your tendencies matter.”
Xu Yi smiled slightly, "It seems that Brother Ge has planned everything for me. I don't know who Brother Ge sold this useful body to. If the price is not good, Brother Ge, don't blame Xu for being evil."
