Chapter 548: A Journey to Success
Someone once said that the only people in this world who can treat you well unconditionally are your parents.
Even if you are an unforgivable criminal, even if you have committed a lot of evil, even if you are poor and destitute... your parents will still accept you without any regrets.
This is love!
After that day, Jiang Qingzhi went to Hanshan Temple again. Although he did not believe in these things in his previous life, he asked Hanshan Temple to perform a ritual for his parents.
Green lamps, ancient Buddhas, and bursts of Sanskrit sounds.
Jiang Qingzhi knelt on the cushion, looked at the Buddha, and said softly: "From now on, I am Jiang Qingzhi!"
At this moment, he felt that he had completely integrated into the Ming Dynasty and into this body.
Regardless of each other.
After returning to the base, Jiang Qingzhi packed his things and prepared to return to Beijing.
There was a sudden buzzing sound in my mind, and the cauldron suddenly accelerated its rotation.
This is……
Jiang Qing was startled for a moment, then overjoyed.
The big cauldron was constantly accelerating, and the purple energy was slowly released outwards, as if it was a child who had been held back for too long, constantly spinning rapidly in the void, and then dispersing in all directions.
A deep purple is faintly visible in the mottled copper green.
The void seemed to be more solid, and Jiang Qingzhi felt that it was an illusion.
After an unknown amount of time, the number dial began to turn.
One month!
Two months!
Three months...
besides?
Jiang Qingzhi thought that the biogas digester had rewarded Guozuo in the first place, and this time it was considered to be rectifying the wrongs, so why could Guozuo be increased so much?
Four months!
Five months…
One year!
Jiang Qingzhi was secretly delighted, "Master Ding, this is awesome!"
The number disk continued to speed up and finally stopped at years.
Jiang Qingzhi recalled the previous records and did some calculations.
"It's actually years? Holy shit! What a great harvest!"
But Jiang Qingzhi was a little confused, "Master Ding, what is the reason for this national reward?"
The big cauldron was turning slowly.
"Uncle Ding, could you at least give me a hint so that I know where to put my strength next time?"
The big cauldron was silent, and the purple color was faintly visible in the mottled copper-green areas.
Jiang Qingzhi thought carefully about the impact of this trip to Suzhou Prefecture on the country's destiny.
It was a meritorious service to put things right and allow biogas digesters to continue to be promoted in the south, but because Guozuo had been rewarded before, Jiang Qingzhi felt that the second time would be at most half a year, and it was impossible to be as long as years.
Why is that?
Caught the corrupt officials in Suzhou Prefecture?
It's of no use. Emperor Taizu Gao killed many corrupt officials in those days, but not long after he was gone, the subsequent officials were still the same. They continued to be corrupt and became even more corrupt and unscrupulous.
That is to clean up the powerful?
Jiang Qingzhi shook his head.
If the current structure of interests is not broken, clearing out more tyrants will only bring short-term benefits. It won't be long before new nobles emerge. They are more greedy and shameless than their predecessors...
Tsk!
Jiang Qingzhi was confused.
If you can't figure it out, just stop thinking about it. Jiang Qingzhi rubbed his hands, looking forward to the reward.
"Uncle, Rui Jingxian is here." Sun Bu Tong came in to report.
Hey!
The reward program that had just started in the void suddenly stopped.
Can this be intelligent and automated?
So sexy!
Jiang Qingzhi got up and went out.
As soon as he walked out of the room, he saw Rui Jingxian.
Rui Jingxian was followed by dozens of men, each of whom was armed and looked murderous.
"Chang Wei Bo is in a good mood." Rui Jingxian bowed.
"Old Rui, what are you doing..." Jiang Qingzhi thought that everything was settled, so why did you, Rui Jingxian, come to Suzhou Prefecture?
"Can I talk to you for a moment?" Rui Jingxian said.
The two went under a big tree nearby.
Rui Jingxian looked at him with an inexplicable look of envy and jealousy. "Not long after you left, His Majesty ordered me to take people to Nanjing to observe the situation in Suzhou Prefecture. If there is any discord, let me take action... We must suppress the situation in Suzhou Prefecture no matter what. Does Lord Wei know what this means?"
Back the pot!
Jiang Qingzhi seemed to see the Taoist sighing, "That little bastard is too ruthless, but I can't reach the south. If there is any discord during the East Factory's visit... we must resolutely suppress it."
"I am your Majesty's servant, and it is my duty to die for you." Rui Jingxian sighed, "When I left the capital, I left all my money to my adopted son. When I arrived in Nanjing, I heard that Chang Wei Bo had been assassinated. I was so scared that I almost died. It was not until I learned that you, Chang Wei Bo, were fine that I went to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha... Thank you for your protection."
Jiang Qingzhi smiled.
"We sent someone to report to His Majesty, and then the capital was furious. His Majesty sent a message, asking us..." Rui Jingxian's eyes became more and more envious and jealous, "His Majesty asked the East Factory to uproot all those involved in this matter... and exile the entire family! Long Wei Bo! This is exiling the entire family, a severe punishment that has not been seen in many years!"
Rui Jingxian pointed at the Dongchang thugs and said, "The people we have killed in the first half of our lives are not as many as those we have killed in the past few days."
Jiang Qingzhi remained silent.
He suddenly missed Dao Ye a little.
"We started from Nanjing, first arrested the Minister of Personnel Zhao Ben, then followed the clues and arrested more than ten officials. Then we went down... until Suzhou Prefecture... Lord Chang Wei didn't know that the scholars and officials in the south are now calling for war and killing, saying that they want to kill us..."
What the hell!
Rui Jingxian is so powerful?
Jiang Qingzhi couldn't help but look at this guy with admiration.
Rui Jingxian said calmly: "I am your Majesty's servant. All my honor and disgrace come from your Majesty. The scholars and officials... are nothing!"
Rui Jingxian said disdainfully, "When we entered Suzhou Prefecture, someone instigated people to surround us. I ordered my men to draw their swords and prepare to kill a few fools. Who knew that someone in the crowd would say... that we are good people. I was wondering, how can anyone say that we are good people?" "That person shouted that the nobleman killed the tyrants who destroyed the biogas tanks, and they were our own people. Then most of those people dispersed, and I had someone capture a few of the rest, and the rest ran away." Rui Jingxian wondered, "Speaking of which... Chang Wei Bo, the southern scholars and officials have never been polite to His Majesty and us, why has Suzhou Prefecture changed?"
There was a sudden noisy sound outside, then it sounded like someone was shouting, and then it became quiet again.
"Uncle, everything is ready." Mo Han came to report.
"I'm about to go back to Beijing, Old Rui, you..." Jiang Qingzhi didn't want to go with Rui Jingxian, so he pretended to be polite.
Rui Jingxian smiled and said, "We still have to stay in the south for a while."
Jiang Qingzhi nodded, "Then let's meet in the capital."
"Now the scholars and officials in various parts of the south are calling for the killing of you, Lord Wei. Be careful on your way." Rui Jingxian's concern was not in vain. "We have no credit this time, but we have worked hard. Please, Lord Wei, please..."
"No problem!" Everyone was carrying the fancy sedan. Rui Jingxian's arrest in the south this time was also a way to take the blame for Jiang Qingzhi's final act. He was determined and unswerving. Jiang Qingzhi naturally did not hesitate to say a few good words for him to the Taoist priest.
A guard whispered: "Rui Jingxian is a villain, why is the uncle like this to him..."
"What do you think of Lu Bing?" Sun Bu Tong asked.
"I heard Uncle once say that Lu Bing was a hypocrite."
"A true villain does what he says. A hypocrite says one thing and does another. Who do you think is better?"
"This... is such a mean person!"
A true villain is often more lovable than a hypocrite.
Jiang Qingzhi would rather drink and chat with Rui Jingxian than sit opposite Lu Bing.
But he sadly discovered that he seemed to be becoming more and more of a hypocrite.
He was escorted toward the gate and found that the guards outside were staring blankly around.
"Who is here? Why are you waiting like this?"
Jiang Qingzhi smiled and walked out the door.
He was also stunned.
There are people everywhere on this street.
There were crowds of people, young and old, men and women.
"This is……"
Jiang was used to being besieged, but these people were obviously ordinary people.
He subconsciously prepared to retreat.
Sun Bu Tong was about to rush to him, but Xu Wei stepped on his heel and almost fell to the ground. He turned back in anger, only to see Xu Wei's face full of joy.
"Back off, back off." Xu Wei whispered, "Don't steal the limelight from Master Bo."
Sun Bu Tong was startled. "What is this?"
Xu Wei stroked his beard, "All the people are seeing us off!"
At this time, Chen Ji came with Ye Bu Shou. Xu Wei waved to him and praised him, "Well done!"
"Mr. Xu, these people... were not called by me." Chen Ji winked, and Xu Wei and others saw dozens of people surrounding an old man not far away, and a group of people were looking at those people with confused faces.
What the hell!
Is this the person Xu Wei called?
Sun Bu Tong was stunned. "Mr. Xu, are you lying?"
"You know nothing!" Xu Wei cursed, "How many of those Wanmin umbrellas do you think are real?"
Chen Ji looked at the people, "These people..."
Xu Wei nodded: "These are true."
An old man came out, trembling as he prepared to salute.
Jiang Qingzhi quickly held him up and said, "No, you can't do that. This will shorten my life!"
The old man stood up and looked at Jiang Qingzhi carefully. After a long while, he said, "He is my Suzhou mansion kid. He looks friendly at first glance."
Jiang Qingzhi smiled awkwardly.
"I don't know what high-ranking officials are. I have lived for more than seventy years, and this is the first time I have seen the rice jar at home full. My children and grandchildren can eat a few more mouthfuls at each meal. Just these few mouthfuls... can keep me alive!
I asked why. My children and grandchildren said that a man named Chang Wei Bo in the capital built a biogas digester, which increased the harvest of his family's fields by more than 10%.
Sun Bu Tong's voice came from behind, "Uncle, this is not the person Mr. Xu called."
"Later, I heard about some divine punishment, and also heard that the uncle came to Suzhou Prefecture and fought with those powerful officials. I didn't know who was right or wrong, and I was thinking about... destroying the biogas tank for the sake of my children and grandchildren.
Just when I was about to ask my children and grandchildren to take action, someone said that the divine punishment was actually caused by the powerful colluding with officials. God, I was so angry that I didn’t eat or drink for two days.
The old man beat his chest and said, "I even cursed Uncle in secret. I feel guilty! When I learned Uncle was going back to Beijing, I hurriedly asked my children and grandchildren to prepare some things. Boss."
A man came over with a wooden tray with three glasses of wine on it.
"This wine is a farewell wine prepared by the people of Suzhou Prefecture for Master Bo. Some people say it should be a thank you wine. But I think Master Bo is a child of Suzhou Prefecture, a family member. Why thank him? If you want to thank him, just pray for him when you go back to worship Buddha. Master Bo, please!"
Jiang Qingzhi picked up the wine glass and drank three glasses in a row.
"Thank you, elders." Jiang Qingzhi bowed, and the people in front of him seemed less strange and alienated. An inexplicable sense of harmony arose spontaneously.
Is this the relationship between fish and water?
Jiang Qingzhi seemed to be thinking about something.
If you always think of the people, they will naturally support you highly...
"Second brother!" The old man turned around and a man came over holding an umbrella.
The old man took the umbrella. It was very big and he had some difficulty holding it.
"Uncle, we spent five days preparing this umbrella. We walked through the streets and even the countryside. Some of them were illiterate and were ghostwritten, but I guarantee that all the names are real."
The old man struggled to hand over the umbrella, raised his head, and looked at Jiang Qingzhi eagerly.
"This umbrella carries the name of the people, and accompanies you all the way to the career path... all the way to the top!"
