I Slay Demons in the Demon City/
Chapter 230: Becoming a County Magistrate
Cao Cao said:
"Princess Yan's family background is very prominent..
He has some conflicts with King Mahu now. Our county should be the least valued by King Mahu among the ten counties..
Therefore, it is inevitable that there will be a gap between Princess Yan and King Mahu..
Because after all, there is no blood relationship.
The other nine princesses are all relatives of King Mahu, that is, his sons and brothers are serving as princesses..
Princess Yan was not only disliked by King Mahu, but also sent troops to harass and rob and insult him..
The one King Mahu was most worried about was Princess Yan..
Therefore, Princess Yan definitely hoped that Master Ma would help him gain a foothold in politics..
Not to mention anything else, at least he can help us!"
Ma Ji nodded in agreement.
"This is understandable..
When a foreign surname becomes a king, he will definitely be looked down upon by other princes and princes, and will try his best to exclude them..
Besides, King Mahu was worried..
But he could not do otherwise, for the greater good he had to find a foreigner to be king, so that balance could be struck.
And give the people hope, that is, every ordinary person can become a prince through their own efforts..
In fact, it's just a way to deceive the public..
For Yan Jialong, he certainly did not want to be a vase, but a nominal king..
He hopes to at least retain his position..
The next step is to be worthy of the name!
Maybe he has bigger ideas in the future, I don't know now, then we'll wait and see!
I hope I can get a reply from him after I send this letter.
By the way, I need Lord Cao to relay this letter because I have no contact with Prince Yan in the past..
There is a superior relationship between you, so I will send you a text message through my mobile phone. When the time comes, you will forward the text message to him and see how he replies to me..
”
Cao Cao nodded vigorously, indicating that he would help Ma Ji forward the text message..
This is a big matter. It concerns how far Ma Ji and himself can go in the future. Cao Cao knows the severity..
and say,
"Well, well, that's settled..
In addition, I said about the specific candidate for the county magistrate, didn't you have a disciple named Uncle Fang? He is mature and prudent, and he is relatively reliable in handling affairs. I think he is the most suitable person to be the county magistrate of Huilong County..
”
Ma Ji was a little surprised:
" Oh, I thought you would promote someone from your family to be the county magistrate. You actually thought of my disciple Fang Bo as the county magistrate?"
Cao Cao 1 face justice color said:
"Ah, Master Ma, don't try me. My heart will never waver when I follow you..
As the saying goes, we should not avoid relatives when we recommend virtuous people. Of course, I want my relatives to promote my friend to be a county magistrate, but it will not do any good to our overall situation..
What we do now must proceed from the overall situation.
After you leave, only Uncle Fang will be able to keep things under control.
After all, he was also a monk and a local..
He can better manage the future development of this county.
Although he does not have much creativity that allows him to abide by the policies and plans we have formulated, his execution ability is still very strong.
”
Ma Ji was very satisfied. He looked at Cao Cao appreciatively and said,
"Lord Cao, we are very happy working together. Your thoughts coincide with mine..
We cooperate with each other, I don't know what surprises will come.
I trust you very much..
And I want you to believe that I will change the status quo in Russia and that this goal will be achieved..
Just wait and see!"
Cao Cao quickly corrected Ma Ji's words:
"How can I be an audience member? I'm an actor, I'm performing on stage, I'm a very important part!
Master Ma, you mustn't treat me like an outsider!"
……
Next, Ma Ji talks to Fang Bo.
:.
"Uncle Fang, you've gone down the mountain to purchase goods and take care of the lives of your disciples. It's really hard on you!"
Ma Ji took out a bag of immortal tea as a reward.
Uncle Fang likes tea. It's a waste to give immortal tea to other disciples..
Uncle Fang was someone who understood tea. When he smelled the fragrance of tea leaves, he felt his whole body float. His Dantian was operating at an accelerated speed, and his cultivation showed signs of breaking through..
I knew that the tea leaves Ma Ji took out must be the best in Luosha..
When he knew that this was the immortal tea that Ma Ji had brought back from the Thunder God Temple, he was so excited that he was at a loss. He did not know how to thank him..
Ma Ji smiled and said:
"Uncle Fang, don't be reluctant to drink it, it's helpful to your cultivation..
Now, I want to say something to you, and I hope you can promise..
”
Fang Bo immediately patted his chest and said:
" Master, if there's anything you need, just tell me. Don't mention one thing, even a hundred things. I promise to do it properly!"
Ma Ji said with satisfaction:
"Uncle Fang, I'm naturally at ease..
The current situation has changed. In the future, the development direction and center of gravity of our Alchemy Hall will shift..
But Huilong county is our base.
It's your home too. We can't give up..
Therefore, I hope you can play a leading role in building your hometown in Huilong County into a better place, so that every resident can live and work in peace and contentment and lead a happy life..
”
Uncle Fang was a smart man, he understood most of Ma Ji's words..
It's just that the word "leadership" burns my brain.
His heart sank and he said gloomily,
"I know what Master means. The Pill Refinery Hall has grown and will perform on a bigger stage in the future..
Among the disciples, I am the oldest and my cultivation progress is the slowest. In the future, I can only stay in Huilong County to buy rice and salt!"
Ma Ji knew that Fang Bo misunderstood his meaning, so he said with a serious face,
"Uncle Fang, you usually have too many things to do, which affects your cultivation, so your cultivation is slower..
But this is temporary.
The experience of life is the real cultivation. Uncle Fang has experienced many vicissitudes and has a deep understanding of life. These are your advantages..
Aji and the others are young. They improved faster than you when they first started, but they may not lead straight in the future..
As long as you can persist in your cultivation and integrate your life experience into your cultivation, I believe that your future achievements will not be worse than any disciple!"
After hearing Ma Ji's words, Uncle Fang felt like he had an epiphany. A lightning bolt flashed across his mind and he found his own cultivation tips!
"Master, I've learned my lesson. Thank you so much!"
Ma Ji waved his hand and said:
"Don't be polite between us..
The leadership role I mentioned just now is because there is a great opportunity now. You should know about the promotion of County Mayor Cao..
He strongly recommends that you be the county magistrate of Huilong County and carry out our reform line to the end. Do you have confidence in completing the task?"
Uncle Fang immediately felt a thunderclap, as if a great disaster was imminent. He opened his mouth wide and said nothing.
"I…used to be a commoner, hiding in a cave to survive!
Being able to meet Master in this life and embark on the path of cultivation has given my life meaning..
However, being a high-ranking official was something that he did not dare to think about!
Besides, am I cut out to be a county magistrate?"
Ma Ji laughed and said:
You are now a cultivator, and in the cultivation world, every cultivator is a god-like existence in the hearts of ordinary people..
Cultivators naturally treated ordinary people as ants. There was no question of whether they dared or not!
It wasn't that he didn't dare, but that he was disdainful!
Because of being an official, I have wronged myself too much!
A county magistrate is just a slightly stronger ant among ants. They are completely different from us cultivators..
Of course, I am not saying this to look down on ordinary people. On the contrary, our reform plan is to turn every ordinary person into a real person, instead of being a ghost or a beast..
And let them live a good life!
Uncle Fang, are you confident now?"
Ma Ji knew that although Uncle Fang and his disciples had embarked on the path of cultivation, they had also cultivated their own skills. These skills were immortal techniques in the eyes of ordinary people, and they were treated like immortals..
However, Uncle Fang and the others themselves still retained their fear of officials deep in their minds. This was a habit that had existed for many years. It was not something that could be changed at once after becoming a cultivator..
