"What's wrong with the people outside the country? Our General's Office treats everyone equally, Taoist priest, you don't need to think too much." Bai Tu said with a big wave of his hand.
Yu Ji:……
What else can Yu Ji say? Besides, we have to think too much about Bai Tu, right?
If it weren't for the current peace in Yangzhou, and the dignitaries in Yangzhou, especially Jiangdong, would also be very fond of his methods... The most important thing is that if Yu Ji had received a secret message about Jiangdong before, he would really want to "move" now
.
It's just other things. If Yu Ji doesn't know whether "that" is in Jiangdong, he really doesn't want to leave, and... Jiangdong's donations are indeed very fragrant!
In fact, Yu Ji's influence is much smaller than in history without the White Rabbit Effect, but the people of Jiangdong are also much richer.
Now is the time of year when it is relatively easy to “attract people”.
Spring plowing has just ended, and in summer... officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs in each county are promoting scientific planting. Not only do they need to fertilize, but in some double-cropping experimental areas, they have to rush to harvest and plant in the summer, and they are busy.
Needless to say, the autumn harvest is a busy time, and when winter comes, the workshops will definitely be hiring!
Although the proportion of full-time employees is gradually increasing, many workshops still recruit part-time workers, targeting female workers and a large number of manpower during leisure periods.
When everyone is busy making money, supplementing their family income, and pursuing a happy life, who has the time to listen to his sermons?
There are quite a few people who seek medical treatment from him!
only……
After all, the influence of medical treatment is a little small. It is enough to have one or two cases as "legends" every once in a while. Opening the door for treatment every day and treating more than ten or twenty people a month will definitely not make the same profit as preaching every day and delivering isatis roots.
Come quickly.
After all, Yu Ji has to be selective in his treatment of diseases. He will only act on emergencies that he is sure of and can achieve quick results.
Otherwise, although Yu Ji's medical skills are very good, compared with the immortal's "curable all diseases" character, it is far behind...
"Then... I would like to thank the General for his kindness." Yu Ji decided to give in first.
Later, we will think of ways to create opportunities to "show the saint" in front of Bai Tu. If Bai Tu can also join the religion, that would be so happy!
Of course, if he hadn't been pushed to the limit, Yu Ji wouldn't have had such an idea...
Which of these princes is not evil-minded and ruthless?
For ordinary people, as well as ordinary dignitaries, as long as they believe that they are "immortals", they can be worshiped, or at least they will be treated with extra courtesy.
But for the princes and lords, after the other party believes it, the first reaction may be - is there really a god? Kill him quickly to avoid future troubles!
Although there were rumors before that Bai Tu was looking for Yizhou for the elixir, it was true that Yu Ji thought this would be his opportunity at first. However, Yu Ji, who had close relations with many Jiangdong dignitaries, soon learned from various channels that
Bai Tu didn't believe this at all. He was looking for Yizhou just for resources, overseas location, and population...
What a terrible person this is?
Looking for overseas fairy islands is actually to expand your own power?
Yu Ji felt that this single example proved that Bai Tu was a typical utilitarian prince with evil intentions and no romanticism at all.
Bai Tu was also a little dissatisfied with Yu Ji at this time, or...mainly dissatisfied with the person who reviewed it.
It’s just a matter of approving public sermons, but how is the scene arranged? Why is there not even a curtain of the General’s Mansion? Without the General’s Mansion, where would the moral deity come from?
Both the Ministry of Rites and Wu County are suspected of dereliction of duty!
It's just that Yu Ji's attitude is pretty good, and Bai Tu shouldn't go too far, and he hasn't actually done anything yet. As for the issue of Wu County... Magistrate Gu actually just settled the matter with Bai Tu.
The main reason is that there are some elderly people in each family who really like this, especially the two old ladies of the Sun family.
Therefore, he, the county magistrate, turned a blind eye to Ji's affairs.
When he heard that it was about the two old ladies of the Sun family, most of Bai Tu's anger disappeared. After all... wasn't Bai Tu responsible for half of the Sun family's waist?
Back in Ganlu Temple, whoever pulled someone off was almost called a mother? Bai Tu was not an unreasonable person...
It can't all be blamed on County Magistrate Gu being difficult to serve, so Bai Tu was just planning to inform the officials to write him off without saying anything else.
Bai Tu thought for a while, then jumped directly from the top of the carriage and sat on a good horse - because he didn't want to disturb the people, the horses in the carriage were not war horses, but real four-legged horses!
At the same time, Bai Tu asked Yu Ji to walk beside him and hold the rein, preparing to talk to him.
It is better to block than to open up. Since Yu Ji understands the interest, it is not impossible to talk about it.
Of course, Bai Tu didn't want Yu Ji to ride with him, lest rumors spread that Bai Tu invited Yu Ji to ride with him as a courtesy - could Bai Tu not understand the popularity?
Bai Tu asked him to lead the horse, which was not an insult. If he was traveling with Bai Tu's subordinates, the person holding the horse at this time would be either Su Wei or Bai Tu's closest subordinate. Queuing up like County Magistrate Gu
Can't make it!
Most common people feel the same way.
This is the effect of popular sentiment.
If it were Sun Ce at the same time in history, the people would not only trust Yu Ji more, but they would also feel dissatisfied when they saw Sun Ce disrespecting Ji.
But now, Yu Ji leads Bai Tu's horse?
This shows that Bai Tu trusts Yu Ji. As expected, Taoist priest Yu Ji is very capable!
Yu Ji forced out a fairy-like smile, then took over the reins and held the horse for Bai Tu. At the same time, it was chilly behind him... and he had to bear Lu Lingqi's focused, monitoring eyes a few steps behind.
"What does the Taoist think of Yangzhou?" Bai Tu asked after driving away from the people.
"A place of purity in a troubled world." Yu Ji felt that this was not flattering.
"Does the Taoist think... the Taoist can make Yangzhou better?" Bai Tu's voice became a little deeper.
Yu Ji hesitated when he heard the words, but he didn't dare to stop. He paused for a moment, and murderous intent came from behind, as if he was worried that he would be detrimental to Bai Tu.
"The teachings of Lao and Zhuang can also govern the world. In the history of the twelve emperors of the later Han Dynasty, none of them can match the governance of Wen and Jing... Of course, poor people from outside the world do not understand the principles of governing the world and do not have the ability to govern the world, but they can also
I will do my best to appease the people for Duke Bai." Yu Ji felt that he was still not flattering.
In the early days of the Pre-Han Dynasty, the imperial court did rule by inaction to recuperate the people and heal the pain caused by the Chu and Han Dynasties at the end of the Qin Dynasty.
The peak was the Wenjing rule, when the civil grain tax was as low as thirty-one tax, and corvée and military service were exempted whenever possible, which laid a solid foundation for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to conquer the Xiongnu.
Bai Tu shook his head and said: "What Yangzhou needs now is impassioned spirit and unity, and it does not need 'pacification'."
Bai Tu really does not need Taoism, or Taoist thought, to calm civil conflicts for itself. It is when great development is about to occur, and conflicts will naturally be covered by development. There is no reason to find someone to hold back.
"How about you go to Guanzhong to develop, and I can help you?" Bai Tu asked with burning eyes.
When Yu Ji heard this, his heart trembled - Guanzhong? That place where hungry people are everywhere and tigers and leopards are rampant in Xiliang... Why else do you want to help? Let me go there and be a "spy" for you? Just be a human being!
"Ahem, how can Guanzhong compare with Bai Gong's general mansion? I would rather be Yangzhou crucian carp than Guanzhong Jiao." Yu Ji felt that he was not flattering.
"Oh? Is Yangzhou so good? Haha... what is the ideal of the Taoist priest?" Bai Tu asked in a different direction.
Yu Ji was silent for a while, looked around and saw that there was no one else around, so he whispered tentatively: "Contribute to the construction of the General's Mansion?"
