The Qihe Pier is bustling with people and boats are coming and going in an endless stream. From time to time, vendors and boat bosses can be heard arguing loudly.

The newly appointed local officials worked hard to maintain order at the scene.

This is the closest inland river terminal to Beijun, the capital of Kan State. Almost everyone who does business in Beijun must get on and off the boat from here.

At some point, two handsome scholars came from the street.

The scholar walking in front touched his newly grown mustache and looked at the scene at the pier with interest: "Wen Shu, what do you think of the scene in front of you?"

Xu Wenshu smiled bitterly. He could hardly remember how many times he had been asked this question during the private interview.

After searching for words of praise that I had never said before, I finally said: "Thriving."

Li Wenzhi laughed and said: "Thriving, well said! Can you believe that five years ago this place was just a small fishing village, and after three years of drought, you can even see the river bed?"

Xu Wenshu smiled bitterly again and did not answer. He looked at the dock and the city. The changes were indeed quite big.

It has been five years since Li Wenzhi succeeded to the throne, and this has also been the most difficult five years for the country of Kan.

There is a severe drought in the world, and everything is in ruins.

All the central government officials were almost slaughtered by the Mojia border troops, and local officials had long since disappeared in order to survive.

When Li Wenzhi ascended the throne, including the captains of the Mojia Frontier Army and the new court officials who had rushed to the throne, there were only a hundred people kneeling in the palace to congratulate him, and they were unable to even maintain the most basic principles of the court.

The people of Kan State were even more plagued by disasters, with ten houses and nine empty houses, and they exchanged their children for food.

However, the entire bureaucracy was replaced, and the problems of corruption, decay, and aging were also resolved. After the initial period of confusion, the central court almost immediately entered full operation.

The principle of governing the entire court by placing the most capable people at the top regardless of their origins has cultivated a large number of young and capable officials for Kan State in a short period of time.

The new emperor Li Wenzhi never left the meeting hall for a whole year. Every time there was a local memorial, he would personally review it and discuss countermeasures.

The young ministers all saw the monarch's dedication and dedication, and they all sighed that God would not destroy our country.

Taking this as an opportunity, the entire bureaucracy of Kan State took on a new look, and central policies were implemented at an unprecedented speed.

But after all, the country of Kan has been abandoned for a long time, and it is difficult to save the country with manpower.

One month after the new king ascended the throne, King Li Wenzhi personally visited the Holy Beast Hall and talked with the holy beast White Snake all night long.

The next day, the monarch carried twenty and three pieces of advice to the local area, and assigned full-time officials to monitor them.

There are countless grains in the brocade bag given by the holy beast, and one brocade bag can solve the famine in a state.

For a time, the reputation of the king and the sacred beast was unprecedented in the country of Kan.

White Snake temples have been built in all states, counties and even townships, and people have gone to Xingze Township to ask for the White Snake statue.

Later, he was given new grains and methods of making plows, windmills, and stone mills, and the famine in Kan country was solved in just one year.

Not only that, the farmers discovered that the climate in Kan country has been surprisingly calm and regular in the past few years. As long as they follow the sowing and transplanting seasons left by their ancestors, they will surely have a bumper harvest the next year.

"By the way, Wen Shu, you should have received your temple exam results, right?"

The Temple Examination is an examination held every five years in the Confucian Temple. Based on the scores obtained by students from all over the world, they are assigned to local Confucian temples to continue their studies or to study at the Holy Land of Haishu Mountain.

Every temple examination is a gathering of literati from all over the world. In fact, great Confucians and gentlemen from all over the world will visit the examination rooms in person to read and examine the students' files.

Once you are noticed by a big shot, you may reach the sky in one step and be astonished in your steps.

"I'm not very talented, but I was accepted as a registered disciple by Dong Daru and enrolled in Haishushan University to study in order to see the results. I'm really ashamed."

"Dong Daru?" Li Wenzhi was stunned and said eagerly: "Gongyang Ru Dong Zhongshu!"

Xu Wenshu nodded with a smile.

Although he is only a registered disciple of Xuehai Shushan, Xu Wenshu is only in his thirties this year. Even if he studies in the outer academy for a year, he is only a mere hundred years old. Although the time is not short for a foundation-building monk, it is not long either.

Moreover, after studying in the academy for a month and not breaking through to the golden elixir stage, Xu Wenshu no longer needs to read any more sage books and can go home and farm.

"Okay, okay, go to my palace, let's have a great time tonight!"

In the palace, the two of them drank and chatted happily, and when they were in the mood, Li Wenzhi raised his glass to the bright moon: "Wen Shu, the most fortunate thing in my life is that I have you, General Chen, and White Snake."

Xu Wenshu smiled. As a foundation-building monk, there is no difference between ordinary wine and water.

"By the way, what do you think White Snake is doing now?"

Xu Wenshu opened the folding fan and covered his mouth and said with a smile: "It's nothing more than eating and sleeping."

"What Wen Shu said is true. White Snake is good at everything, but he is too lazy, hahaha."

The two looked at each other and smiled, drinking wine from their cups.

…

Six yins are eliminated and one yang is born, hidden cuteness is hidden, and the snowflakes are light - Winter Solstice.

The winter solstice is an important node among the twenty-four solar terms, and it is also the day with the shortest sunshine in the year.

The weather is getting colder day by day, and the white snake is getting up later and later.

As a country's sacred animal, or mascot, it is certainly qualified to sleep in, and no one from the monarch to the common people think that it is wrong for the white snake to sleep in.

I am even afraid that the white snake will not sleep well and eat too little.

The monarch even moved his entire royal dining room to the Hall of Holy Beasts, and all the chefs who used to cook roast chicken in the Prince's Palace were also sent there, fearing that the White Snake would one day get tired of eating and run away.

After five years, the length of the white snake finally began to grow again. After shedding its skin twice, the length of the white snake was already close to eight meters. The scales on its body were as ice-like as jade, exuding a milky white brilliance.

But the body length is not the most outstanding thing. After five years of being delicious and lazy, the white snake has grown a lot of fat visible to the naked eye.

Several layers of velvet blankets were pressed under the body. When sleeping, the whole person... the whole snake sank into it. This kind of bed can sleep on it all winter.

Half asleep and half awake, White Snake seemed to hear the sound of the door opening. Two figures rushed in from the crack in the door, one after another, chasing around White Snake's pure gold dragon chair.

"Here...give me...stop...stop!"

"Bah bah bah!"

Two figures began to chase around the room.

A vein jumped on the white snake's head.

Bang, a vase given by the eldest princess Li Ruonan was broken.

Suddenly, the glazed screen brought out by the Demon Palace disappeared.

Bang, the agate tree given by the king fell down...

Sha~

The white snake couldn't bear it anymore and refused to let the snake sleep. Now is the most precious hibernation time in the snake's life!

Hisssssss~

His heart was filled with anger, and his words of instruction turned into a rapid hiss on his lips. White Snake was helpless for a while.

Being a snake is fine, but being unable to speak is too troublesome.

Fortunately, the two guys in front of me can understand snake language.

I saw Xiao Chiyi, who was wearing shorts and shorts, with a pouted mouth and lowered head, with a black seam covering his forehead, looking at his nose and heart, with a look of grievance on his face.

Behind her was a five-clawed little golden dragon with teeth and claws, staring at the white snake with a pair of big Kazilan eyes filled with tears.

White Snake slapped his forehead with his tail, how could these two little ancestors teach him such a lesson?

Seeing the white snake covering its eyes, the five-clawed golden dragon's eyes lit up.

With a move of his body, it turned into a ray of golden spiritual energy and flew towards Chi Yi.

When he arrived in front of him, he transformed into his prototype, attacked him unprepared, and punched Xiao Chiyi in the eye socket by surprise.

boom

Xiao Chiyi flew several meters away and smashed the remaining vase into pieces.

"You...you...you attacked!" Xiao Chiyi was furious and her words became even more awkward.

The little golden dragon stuck out his tongue, showing no consciousness of being a golden dragon.

The Little Golden Dragon's body is the Dragon Qi of the Kingdom of Kan, and it is naturally able to transform into Qi. Physical attacks are almost ineffective against it, and spell damage is also reduced by several levels, giving it a huge advantage in melee combat.

The little golden dragon that succeeded in the sneak attack raised its nose and looked like a winner.

But before it could be happy for a moment, Xiao Chiyi rushed over with a pair of short legs and punched the little golden dragon on the chin. Suddenly the two of them... one dragon and one demon were fighting.
