Empress: Your Majesty, please respect yourself, I don't want to be promoted

"Don't panic."

Facing his son's eager question, the old man thought for a moment, and then his brows relaxed.

"That dog official is like the Lu lunatic before, he does things regardless of the consequences. If he does this, he will not be an official for a long time. Now we are not the only ones whose interests have been damaged. These damned warriors have been harmed, so many insightful people have written letters together, everyone’s connections in the court have worked together, and there are photo amulets to prove that it is only a matter of time before these dog officials are driven out of Yuzhou, there is no need to rush."

As he spoke, he shook the reclining chair under him slightly, and said again:

"Yuzhou, after all, is the Yuzhou of our Yuzhou clan. Those dog officials can't make any waves. Without our approval, they are nothing!"

The man's face rested for a while, but he still said unwillingly:

"But so many untouchables ran away..."

"It's just a temporary pain."

The old man squinted his eyes and said calmly: "As long as the dog officer is driven away, it should be ours, and it will still be ours. Not only that, the fields they cultivated during this period will only fall into our pockets in the end. , can’t escape our palms!”

Hearing this, the man's eyes lit up immediately.

"Father is right, I am impatient."

...

On the eastern outskirts of Huxian County, in a village that had obviously been recently renovated.

The villagers who had just had a hard day came back one after another.

The men gathered together to chat, the children played and played around, and the women went back to the house to bury the pot and cook.

In a short while, the whole village was filled with smoke, and it was full of vitality. Even in the prosperous age, the picture that might not be seen was displayed vividly at this moment. The lifeless scene formed a stark contrast.

"Lord Li is such a good official. As soon as he took office, he checked out the grain that had been embezzled by those dog officials before, and returned all of it to us. He also led us to open up wasteland to grow grain. In the future, we will never have to go to Xue Yuanwai, Li Yuanwai, etc. The devoid of conscience, the big family of the dog, was bullied by them."

In the grain drying field, a man said with emotion.

Others joined in.

"Yeah, if it wasn't for Master Li, our family doesn't know if we can survive this year."

"The Xue Yuanwai is really not a thing. He rented their family's land and worked hard for a year. As a result, after paying the taxes on the grain grown, he had to take 70% of it as rent. The remaining rations, No matter how frugal you are, it’s still not enough for the four of us to eat.”

"Who said it wasn't? I remember that when the harvest was not very good last year, the whole family of Huzi's family next door was starving to death. They knelt down to Yuanwai Xue and begged him to forgive him and reduce the rent by 10%. What happened?"

"The Xue Yuanwai not only didn't take less, but found an excuse to change the rent to a fixed amount. If the village chief hadn't been kind and set an example and called on everyone to help their family, Huzi's whole family would have starved to death!"

"Oh, it's a pity that Huzi still didn't survive hard labor..."

Having said this, everyone couldn't help being silent for a while, with a look of sadness on their faces.

Yuzhou's previous world was a purgatory for ordinary people like them without any power.

Just to live, they have to do their best for it, how dare they expect anything else?

"It's all right now, with Lord Yuli here, our days are finally coming to a head."

When it comes to the new Mr. Li, everyone's interest is much higher.

"Although Master Li is a bit strange, always tinkering with some messy powder, either burning stones or burning some colorful water, but she is really kind to us common people."

"With Lord Li here, I feel that I didn't come to this world to suffer..."

"It is said that Master Li is a protégé of Governor Lu. Governor Lu was worried that we would be oppressed by corrupt officials again, so he tried his best to promote his protégé to be magistrate of various counties and go to the counties to benefit the local people."

"With the support of Governor Lu, Master Li and the others can let go of their hands."

"Governor Lu is really the master of Qingtian in my Great Xia Dynasty. In order to let us and other small people live and work in peace and contentment, he not only relieved the poor, but also severely punished corrupt officials, and even recklessly killed the scourge of King Yu"

"Oh, it's a pity that Governor Lu can't stay in Yuzhou forever."

"What are you talking about?! Governor Lu is a great gentleman who cares about the world and saves the common people! How could it be possible to stay in such a small place as Yuzhou all the time? Besides, Governor Lu didn't ignore us, didn't he still have Master Li and the others?"

"As long as Governor Lu is in power, he will be able to support Lord Li and the others, and Lord Li and the others will be able to benefit our ordinary people!"

"I really hope Governor Lu can be a prince forever."

Everyone was full of emotion.

Good officials like Governor Lu, not to mention Daxia, have never been found throughout the ages.

The ancient sages are nothing more than this.

At this time, a man stood up suddenly, "Stop talking, I have to go home and worship Governor Lu's longevity tablet."

As early as when he learned that King Yu was beheaded by Lu Chen, he set up a longevity tablet for Lu Chen at home, and wiped it carefully several times a day, like some kind of pious belief, and dared not slack off in the slightest.

"I am coming too."

"Me too!"

"Governor Lu has done so much for us, so we have to repay such a great kindness."

"That's right, we ordinary people can't help Governor Lu, but we can pray for him, and bless him with no disease and disaster in his life, and step by step!"

"That makes sense! I'll go back and set up a longevity tablet for Governor Lu."

"."

Soon, there were only a few children playing around in the spacious grain drying field.

The cheerful and crisp sound of playing makes this small village reveal a touch of detachment.

It's like a rare peace in this turbid world.

at the same time.

Luo Jing.

Lu Chen, who had just registered, naturally didn't know what happened in Yuzhou thousands of miles away, and he didn't know that he somehow got hundreds of thousands of longevity tablets.

As usual, after he walked out of Ziji City, he passed through luxurious sedan chairs or BMWs, walked alone in the direction of the East City, and walked home. Change this habit.

At this time, several colorful and beautiful butterflies appeared in the corner of his eyes.

The beautiful colors made him subconsciously look over.

"There are more and more butterflies recently, is spring coming?"

Boring thoughts appeared in his mind, and then Lu Chen glanced at it for a while, then withdrew his gaze.

"I remember when I first came to this world, it was still deep winter, and before I knew it, more than four months had passed, alas."

He sighed inexplicably.

More than four months have passed, not to mention being promoted to immortality, he has not even touched the reward of being demoted, only a guarantee.

And all rewards other than the guarantee are becoming more and more distant.

Even guaranteed bonuses may not be guaranteed.

The system conditions, which were obviously extremely easy to achieve, have now directly become hell-level difficulty.

I don't know what went wrong.

Shaking his head, Lu Chen put away his messy thoughts and continued to walk quickly towards the East City.

About a quarter of an hour later, he came to Mingjue Street, which has an unusually wide street.

There are all the mansions of high-ranking officials and nobles nearby, and the mansion bestowed on him by the empress is in the middle of Mingjue Street, very close to the bustling East Market.

Go out and turn left and walk for a short distance, you can enjoy the prosperity and convenience.

And when passing by an inexplicably dilapidated vermilion gate——

"Huh? Something about Lu?"

A familiar voice suddenly sounded behind him.

He stopped and turned around, and suddenly saw a refined middle-aged man looking at him in surprise.

It was Gu Yanming who came to persuade him not to go to the troubled waters of the Gu family just after he was released from prison.

After recognizing Gu Yanming, Lu Chen's expression turned cold.

"Dingyuan Hou Rian."

Greeted casually and prepared to leave.

"Lu stay on top of things."

However, Gu Yanming came over suddenly.

"I have something to tell you next."

Looking at Gu Yanming who walked up to him in a few steps, Lu Chen couldn't help frowning.

MD, don't you have to add more drama?
