Time goes back to one day ago.

A side courtyard somewhere in Liguo's harem.

Bai Jinyu sat on a wooden chair and quietly tasted the food in the bowl. Opposite him sat Ma Yuanyuan, who was also silent.

"Ahem, Ma Xiao... Yuanyuan, are you still used to living here?"

Ma Yuanyuan, who was taking a small bite, was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "It's nothing I'm not used to. It's just that my sister is not at home all day long, so I feel a little lonely."

"Oh." Bai Jinyu didn't know how to answer, so she managed a few words and then fell silent again.

As for Ma Yuanyuan's experience, it actually has nothing to do with Bai Jinyu.

After all, when she was rescuing Ma Yuanyuan, the young lady herself had already been targeted by the obscene monk from Xiaoyao Temple.

It was only later that, in order to stimulate Bai Jinyu, Duanzhi blamed all of Ma Yuanyuan's experiences on the latter, which left a not-so-shallow scar in Bai Jinyu's heart.

As Bu Gaoxing had thought before, it was unlikely that this scar would develop into an inner demon under the suppression of the Demon Bead, but Bai Jinyu herself could not overcome this hurdle.

Only then did he use the "Heart Lock" talisman to eliminate Ma Yuanyuan's memory, and embed himself into Ma Yuanyuan's memory of her family, playing almost all important roles in Miss Ma's life from childhood to adulthood.

"However, sister, there is no need to worry about me. I will take good care of myself and prepare meals every day for you to come back." Ma Yuanyuan carefully looked at this sister who she feared, loved, loved, and feared.

"I'll be very busy recently, and I might be late for dinner."

Ma Yuanyuan was stunned and lowered her head, as if she had done something wrong.

"However, I will try my best to be back in time for dinner."

Ma Yuanyuan raised her head in surprise, and met Bai Jinyu's smile. Her heart trembled, her pretty face turned red, and her voice was almost like a mosquito: "Yeah."

The two of them didn't speak again during the meal.

Until Bai Jinyu put down her chopsticks, Ma Yuanyuan's cheeks quickly turned red.

Bai Jinyu stood up: "Let's go, it's time to heal."

"Sister, I remember that I used to be in good health, wasn't it? Why do I have to... exercise every day to heal my injuries?"

Ma Yuanyuan followed Bai Jinyu into the room, her face so red that she almost bled.

Thinking of her first healing experience yesterday, Ma Yuanyuan almost wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it. Fortunately, the other person was her sister. If she had been someone else, she would have killed herself long ago.

Bai Jinyu's expression did not change and he replied: "Didn't I tell you yesterday that you were injured by a thief before, which caused the depletion of energy and blood, so now you need to exercise your energy and nourish yourself every day to live a long time.

"

Feeling that her sister seemed to have some inexplicable emotions, Ma Yuanyuan did not dare to ask any more questions.

This is not Bai Jinyu deceiving Ma Yuanyuan, at least not entirely.

Ma Yuanyuan's body has indeed suffered serious losses.

Xiaoyao Temple's dual practice of cultivating yin and replenishing yang does not end simply after harvesting the tonic. For the recipient, every dual practice is a fundamental act that shakes the foundation.

If Ma Yuanyuan was not a perineal body, and Monk Duanzhi had no intention of killing the goose to retrieve the eggs in the short term, I am afraid that Miss Ma would have aged prematurely and been exposed to the wilderness.

But even so, Ma Yuanyuan's body was almost hollowed out, and her longevity was greatly reduced.

Judging from the current situation, Ma Yuanyuan can live for about five years at most.

Moreover, because Ma Yuanyuan's foundation has been damaged, ordinary tonic methods simply cannot bear it. The only way is to use dual cultivation methods to fully warm and replenish her body.

After checking Ma Yuanyuan's body yesterday, Bai Jinyu immediately used "Linhuang Xuanyin Dual Cultivation" on her.

Different from the dual cultivation among monks, Bai Jinyu worked almost unilaterally, consuming spiritual energy to warm and nourish Ma Yuanyuan's body and meridians, and found that the effect was surprisingly good.

It's almost like a cultivation method tailor-made for people who are depleted of energy and blood.

I remembered that this was a technique copied by Liu Yifei in the fragments of the future, and that it was created by herself.

It is difficult for Bai Jinyu not to guess whether this set of exercises is related to Ma Yuanyuan.

Otherwise, how could I create a set of cultivation methods between women in the future?

As for why Ma Yuanyuan was a little resistant, it was because she was receiving spiritual conditioning as a mortal, and her skin needed to dissipate a lot of heat.

Clothes can affect the spread of heat.

Therefore, before Bai Jinyu starts "Linhuang Xuanyin Dual Cultivation", Ma Yuanyuan needs to take off all her clothes, leaving no trace behind.

Besides, Bai Jinyu has replaced all the people close to Ma Yuanyuan in her memory. Logically speaking, she shouldn't feel shy about meeting each other openly.

But the problem lies precisely here.

Because two of the three closest people in Ma Yuanyuan's life are men.

One of them is naturally the father, and the other is the elder brother.

Although Bai Jinyu also replaced Ma Yuanyuan's biological mother, in Ma Yuanyuan's view, Bai Jinyu's identity is more masculine.

Taking off her clothes in front of Bai Jinyu, Ma Yuanyuan always felt a sense of embarrassment...

However, Bai Jinyu acted extremely calm throughout the whole process, and the guilt in her heart did not allow her to have any thoughts about the delicate body in front of her.

The two of them sat cross-legged on a soft platform, using their hands to perform the exercises.

Soon Ma Yuanyuan's body began to emit a large amount of mist, which was caused by the high temperature brought by spiritual power.

After a while, the exercise ended and Ma Yuanyuan slowly fell asleep.

Bai Jinyu changed the quilt for him and exited the small courtyard, reattached the protective talisman, and then turned around and left.

Every time she sees Ma Yuanyuan, she feels a deep sense of guilt.

Faced with this feeling of guilt, the only thing she could do was to try to make up for it and choose to escape.

…

Returning to the main hall, I first checked on Gong Qiao's condition and found that he was sleeping soundly on the dragon bed, but he honestly didn't cause any trouble.

When I left the palace, I happened to meet Ding Jin who came to report.

Side hall.

Bai Jinyu listened quietly to Ze Ding Jin's report, her face getting uglier.

The influence of Confucianism was far more profound than she expected.

She originally thought that at most 70% to 80% of the Confucian scholars would be affected and leave the country, but she did not expect that the number would exceed 90%.

Coupled with the officials who fled the disaster, the entire senior management structure of Liguo almost collapsed.

Looking at the long list in his hand and 90% of the lives that were crossed out on the list, Bai Jinyu rubbed his forehead even though he was mentally prepared.

"There is only one official, Huang Zian, left among the three ministers and nine ministers. It saves trouble." Bai Jinyu's eyes stayed on the only high-level official: "Since Confucianism is so decisive, don't blame me for messing around."

For Bai Jinyu, a sound bureaucracy has a sound plan, and a broken bureaucracy has a way to break it down.

The only difference lies in the difficulty of the early transition period.

From the perspective of the world after her, although this world is obviously different from the countries in history because of the existence of monks.

But as far as the system is concerned, it is really not flattering.

Whether it was the Kan State that had undergone drastic reforms by Li Wenzhi before, the Han Dynasty of the Central Powers, or the Li State that inherited the Han bureaucracy, they all had all the flaws of the feudal system.

The distribution of assets is extremely unfair, a large amount of fertile and high-quality land is in the hands of aristocratic families and gentry, there is a serious disconnect between the bureaucracy and the people, the central court has strict control over the local areas, and the local governments do not implement the central orders... and many other problems, Bai Jinyu almost

You can tell it without thinking.

If Confucianism were still around these issues, it would be extremely difficult for Bai Jinyu to take action.

For example, Kan Guoshi, although she was aware of the loopholes in Li Wenzhi's management, she never took the initiative to propose reforms.

But now her mission is to revitalize Liguo, so naturally she will pursue any good policies. Now that there are no Confucian scholars and high-ranking officials, she can save a lot of trouble.

Valleys, especially those lands that have been captured by powerful people and aristocratic families, since you do not contribute to the country, it is normal for them to be taken back by the state.

In particular, some aristocratic families who responded to Wang Yun's call to move their families could easily pocket the land they left behind.

What needs to be done next is naturally the land privatization system to liberate productivity.

However, these systems are simple to say, and it seems that everyone can understand them as long as they are a modern person. They are also a great welfare package for time travellers.

But if it is really implemented, it is far from being solved by privatization.

Management and taxation alone are beyond the control of outsiders, so Bai Jinyu still needs to find subordinates earlier.

This Huang Zian, the Sangong and Jiuqing, who has not left Liguo or stayed behind closed doors, is the most important link.

Monks are not allowed to interfere in mortal affairs, which is a strategy that the three sects in the world have been pursuing.

Among them, Qingyun Sword Sect's inaction cultivation is most suitable for them. In addition to experiencing the world of mortals and tempering their minds, these sword cultivators can almost have nothing to do with ordinary countries.

But Buddhism and Confucianism cannot do this.

The special one is Confucianism, which is almost related to the secrets of mortal countries.

Among them, fame and official positions in the mortal world are a key influence on Confucianism and Taoism.

It can be said that the high officials of all countries are not necessarily Confucian high officials, but the Confucian high officials must be high officials of a certain country before they are a hundred years old.

Therefore, there is a rule in the righteous cultivation world, that is, you can enter the court as an official before you are a hundred years old, and you can only return to the sect after you are a hundred years old.
