On the second day after Lin Li took office, all the powerful families in the city sent congratulatory gifts. Lin Li did not refuse and accepted them one by one. A huge amount of money worth five million spiritual stones made his pockets rich again.
.
After the tax reduction policy was promulgated, ordinary people were grateful. Many old people gathered together to tell the wisdom of the new city lord and wished the "old city lord" good health and long life. Little did they know that the city lord who promulgated the policy was not an old man, but an old man.
Just a young boy.
By accumulating virtue and doing good deeds, those who receive the favor will feel grateful, and what will be fed back is merit. Lin Li Youdi Ding can collect tangible merit energy, while when others do good deeds, the merit is ethereal, but it can bless the unpredictable destiny. Lin Li Zai's collection of books
The Buddhist scriptures I saw said that merit eliminates karma and good deeds lead to ultimate happiness. In the secular world of Dabingzhou, there has always been a saying that good people go to heaven and bad people go to hell.
Lin Li was naturally very happy as the aura of merit and virtue gathered in the Dizu Ding and Digen Ding every day. He wished he could cancel all the taxes in Binghan City, but that was obviously impossible to implement. The policy had not been released yet. He
The city lord was deposed first.
It is said in the classics that in the cities of the Great Confucian Prefecture, people not only care for their relatives, nor only have children for their children. The old will die, the strong will be useful, the young will grow, and the widowed, widowed, lonely and sick will all be supported. It is a truly peaceful and prosperous age.
Reaching that state cannot be achieved with just one or two policies, it must be subtle and subtle over a long period of time. That is the result of education, which has great merit.
On this day, after Lin Li refined his merit energy, he decided to take a walk in the city.
He brought two guards in full armor with him, patrolling the city, looking very majestic.
Lin Li walked towards Caiyuan Street, where there were many shops. Pedestrians looked over from time to time, guessing his identity, thinking that he was some high-ranking official showing off his power.
Lin Li looked up and saw a huge shop called "Songjiang Pu". The name was elegant, but he couldn't tell what it was selling. Lin Li looked in from the door and found that it was selling swords, sticks and other killing weapons.
The swordsmanship is sharp, but the name of the shop is elegant, which is really interesting.
Lin Li stepped in and walked in.
The store is very large, with four or five rooms. The business is also very good, and there is a bustling crowd. Lin Li looked around and saw that ordinary weapons were made of high-quality chrysanthemum steel and ice-patterned steel. The spiritual weapons were also very good. There were two guards behind him.
, it’s hard to look away when your eyes are fixed on it, but if it falls in Lin Li’s eyes, it won’t be able to get into his eyes. If he takes out an emperor-level spiritual weapon, he can buy the entire store.
Immediately, his eyes fell on a painting in the hall. The painting was only as big as a tabletop, but it was majestic. In the middle was a big river with turbulent waves, and there was still snow on the bank.
A strong pine tree emerges, as hard as iron, and will never fall.
This picture of Songjiang is probably where the name of the store comes from.
The author of this picture has great writing skills, and it gives people a sense of tenacity and uprightness. The poem next to it is very energetic, skinny, and has good calligraphy.
"Not bad." Lin Li nodded.
A waiter behind the counter saw Lin Li's eyes focused on the calligraphy and painting for a long time. He did not call for business, but explained: "My guest, this calligraphy and painting was painted by a great talent in this city, named Qin Feng.
His ancestors were also officials. I heard that he had been an official since the Jiangyin Kingdom, but it had declined in recent generations. Scholar Qin also had no interest in fame, so he did not become an official. However, his calligraphy and paintings are extremely popular, and he comes from a wealthy family."
Lin Li nodded, "I understand."
He just saw the painting style as good and was curious for a moment, but didn't take it to heart because he really wanted to trace his roots.
Seeing that the guest's attention had returned, the waiter continued to ask: "Objective, what do you need?"
Lin Li pointed at the back of the counter, "Two fine ice-patterned steel knives."
"Okay."
The attendant agreed, quickly holding up two knives and handing them to Lin Li's hands, "A total of one thousand spirit stones."
Lin Li handed over the spirit stone, took the knife, and pulled out a section of the blade. As expected, it was freezing cold and covered with ice patterns. It was hammered out with a special hammering technique. It was extremely tempered. Even if he
Forging it yourself is about this level.
Snap! Snap!
Lin Li turned around and threw the two knives into the arms of the two guards.
"Take off your knives and put on this."
He stretched out his hand to stop the two guards from talking, and started to walk out.
He walked into the shop out of curiosity. Since the attendant enthusiastically explained the pictures, he felt embarrassed to return empty-handed, so he bought two knives and gave them to the attendant who brought them.
But at this moment, there was a "bang" sound, someone hit the counter, and a voice came out, "I want this spiritual weapon. Ten thousand spiritual stones means ten thousand spiritual stones. Why is there so much nonsense?"
Lin Li turned around and saw two young men wearing Binghan Sect costumes. They had a dispute over the purchase of a spiritual weapon. However, the spiritual weapon obviously cost more than 10,000 spirit stones. It was the Binghan Sect disciples who were using their power to bully them.
The waiters in the shop did not dare to speak harshly, so they had to negotiate with each other and beg hard. However, the two Binghan sect disciples seemed to be unreasonable people, and they became more and more arrogant, threatening not to give out a single spiritual stone. If they did not agree, they would
The shop was smashed.
The shop owner with a goatee raised his beard angrily, "You are going too far to bully others. In the past, City Lord Zhu suppressed us for his own shop, so he let you do whatever you want, but now that there is a new City Lord, he
The old man is a wise man. As soon as he took office, he returned the shop controlled by the surname Zhu and reduced the taxes, but you will not be able to do whatever you want. If you continue to pester us, we can go to the city lord's palace to reason with you."
One of the Binghan Sect disciples chuckled and said: "It's okay if you don't say this. A broken city lord has nothing to be afraid of. He doesn't have to be polite when he sees us Binghan Sect disciples. The former Zhu City Lord was a sect
A relative of the Lord, he is not kind to our brothers, but now someone has taken his place, and I am about to speak out for him."
Lin Li touched his chin and smiled bitterly. When did I become an old man? But since he was mentioned, he couldn't ignore it. He stopped and gestured slightly to a guard.
The guard stepped forward, the armor on his body clanking, and shouted: "City Lord Lin of this city is visiting me privately incognito. Don't mess around and disturb my eyes and ears. You dare to slander me in private. You are really treasonous."
The disciples of the Binghan Sect took a step forward, their aura was surging, and they forced the guards to step back. They smiled disdainfully and said, "Who is your city lord? Not only do I say that, but I will also beat him if you don't obey."
Lin Li stretched out a hand and gently put it on the guard's shoulder, giving him the feeling of leaning on a mountain without being overwhelmed by the momentum at all. "I am the city lord, you can beat me."
"you?"
The Binghan sect disciple laughed, "You are a young boy, you are the son of the new city lord, pretending to be your father to show off your power. The Binghan sect disciples have a distinguished status, and the lord of a city must treat him with courtesy. If he is really the city lord, I can't
Beat him up, but you have another say."
As he spoke, one of his palms came over, intending to hit Lin Li in the face.
Another person kicked out, but the target was the guard, "If you yell at your uncle, you should hit him!"
Bang! Bang!
But it was Lin Li who came first and struck with lightning. The one who hit the person in the face was slapped in the face, and the one who kicked the person in the face was kicked. How could the two of them withstand Lin Li's strong force? They flew two feet away and couldn't get up for a while.
.
Lin Li took out the token and waved it in front of him, "The status of the city lord can't suppress you. Look what this is. I, the mighty Holy Envoy of the Holy Domain, am I still going to treat you with extra courtesy? Even if your sect leader arrives.
, and I dare not say any more criticism. As a disciple of the Binghan Sect, I am supposed to protect the people in the city, but I bully the weak and ruin the reputation of the sect, so I should be beaten!"
Lin Li collected his token and walked out the door, but a guard ran in from the outside. He knelt on the ground, held an invitation in both hands, and said, "What do you want from the Dean of Binghan Academy?"
When you have free time, go and inspect the work."
Lin Li pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, I just have nothing to do today. If you go back, just tell me that I will go today."
The guard took the order and went.
"It seems that the trip to find Cui Ying will be delayed."
Lin Li took out an ordinary jade slip, injected it with a burst of energy, waved it to a guard behind him, and ordered: "Send the jade slip to such-and-such a place, give it to Cui Ying, and ask her to come to Binghan City to meet you.
I."
Then Lin Li waved his hand, "Let's go to Binghan Academy."
…
Entering Binghan Academy again, Lin Li felt like revisiting his old place.
In a place dedicated to young people, Lin Li felt that he was also young. He asked the guards to step back and walked alone, feeling the vitality of youth that was far away from him.
Only at this moment did Lin Li feel that he was a twenty-year-old young man. Life was short and time did not wait for us. In order to improve his strength, he invested too much time in it and had more things to do than the average middle-aged person.
.
Wherever there is a loss there is a gain.
At Lin Li's age, he was just right to be a student. Who would have thought that he would become the lord of a city? What he lost was his dissolute youth, but what he gained was strength and status.
"Life is short, and youth is even shorter. Only strength can keep youth forever. I hope my choice is right."
Lin Li sighed, seizing the rare free time and taking a breath of youthful breath.
He looked at the young men and women walking around, hugging each other, talking sweetly, and some whispering as if they were running to the hotel outside the college. Lin Li was slightly envious. Although he could hug Qingxue, he could only stay with his hands.
If he could do something else, even if Qingxue agreed, he was afraid that Fang Baiyu would beat him to death.
As he was walking, a colorful scene came into his field of vision. It turned out to be several beautiful girls in tight-fitting clothes, which made people's eyes brighten.
"Lin Li, is it really you?!"
One of the girls actually had her fingers raised and she shouted excitedly.
Lin Li looked up and saw this girl with a picturesque face, a slim waist and long legs. He smiled and said, "It turns out to be Xue Qi. I can meet you just when I'm walking around. What a coincidence."
It turned out that this girl was none other than Xue Yiming's younger sister. Lin Li had crossed paths with Xue Qi that day because of the Great Emperor Tower sealing formation, which was considered a great coincidence. Meeting her again today was even more surprising.
…
ps: Every time I drive by the entrance of the university, I have the urge to turn in, see the beautiful junior sister, and say, "I am your junior brother, come with me." It's ridiculous to say that.
When I walked out of campus, I felt like I had grown up, but in their eyes, I didn’t know what I looked like.
