Ye Xingyuan felt as if he had a dream, but the dream was so real. He held the Blue Sky Crown, General Pei's treasure sword and Tieyun boots, and the treasure of the Five Virtues. Later, he had to find Yan Wuxie and Zhong Qi's tomb and gather all the treasures to get the spiritual bones in the Saint's Tomb.

Thinking of the old man by the long river at that time, Ye Xingyuan always felt that he was a saint. Although his appearance did not match the portraits passed down from generation to generation, his temperament and majesty were really not the second person.

Later, he and Mrs. Li and Concubine Qing talked about this matter, and both of them were amazed, but neither could give a reasonable explanation.

Ye Xingyuan also knew that even if this old man was really a saint, it was not understandable at his current level. It was just that the saint gave him a hint, so there was no need to worry too much. It was the most urgent thing to deal with the current situation.

The Qiongguan Special Zone is on the right track. The group of iron merchants made trouble. Jiang Keqing, who was surrendered, took it right and cleared it out loud. The iron merchants were trembling and dared not cause trouble anymore. The operation of the iron factory and the ticket number did not have much impact.

Ye Xingyuan also secretly handed over to Emperor Longping, saying that all the steel produced by the ironworks factory belonged to the court, but it is not recommended to give priority to military use. Because the products at this time were not good enough, it is better to supply the civilians first, wait until the process is further improved, and then switch to military use, and develop steel armor to avoid wasting.

Emperor Longping was overjoyed and ordered him to act cheaply. He issued a secret decree to praise him generously and generously opened the inner treasury to reward Ye Xingyuan. However, the official was not promoted again for the time being. After all, Ye Xingyuan was still too young and had insufficient qualifications. The civil servant position could not be approved in the cabinet. The promotion of the Jinyiwei's official position too quickly would only arouse jealousy from others. I will remember it for the time being and will be promoted and rewarded in the future.

Ye Xingyuan knew that he had made too much contribution and was promoted to the fastest speed. After all, he was promoted last year. Although the grade has not changed this year, he was transferred to the deputy envoy of the Special Administrator for Transportation in the Special Administrative Region, which was a half-court. He could no longer be anxious for success, so he was patient and not in a hurry.

Everything was running smoothly. Ye Xingyuan passed the second year in Qiongguan. He stayed here for two years in a flash. Based on the annual income, this year can be considered for three years of employment. We have to consider seeking transfer.

This matter was discussed by Ye Xingyuan and Mrs. Li. Ye Xingyuan is very different from two years ago. Although he was the top scorer two years ago, he had no real achievements and could be controlled by others. It is different now. He needs military achievements and political achievements. If the cabinet was not suppressing him, just relying on the two things of guarding Qiongguan and the Special Administrative Region would be enough for him to be promoted to two levels.

What's more, there are also building ticket accounts to enrich the area and opening iron tools to enrich the internal warehouse. These two great achievements have been outstanding in the past two years, and it is probably impossible to lose the upper hand in the third year. The promotion is a certainty, but it is quite difficult to think about where to transfer it.

According to the general idea, Ye Xingyuan had already achieved enough political achievements, and at this time he could consider starting to return to Beijing and continue to cause trouble in the capital. The cabinet ministers and Yu Wenjing thought this way, and he had a year left to be on guard.

However, Ye Xingyuan's attitude was clear. He wanted to seek the treasure of the five virtues first, and he was not in a hurry to return to Beijing or to make a future. Now he is a low-ranking official position, and he is still being controlled by others when he arrives in Beijing. He has to nod and bow. He is very unhappy, so it is better to continue to be a local tyrant.

Mrs. Li carefully said: "What we need to consider now is to go to Yan Wuxie's tomb first, or to Zhong Qi's tomb first? Yan Wuxie's tomb is far away in Shu, and there is a severe malaria there. I don't know if you can adapt.

Zhong Qi’s tomb is in Jiangnan. Jiangnan Shilin is very opposed to adults. In the past, it was probably a fight, and the position was not easy to arrange."

According to the evaluation standards, there is no problem with Ye Xingyuan being promoted to two levels in a row, that is, he is from the fifth grade. However, the major officials in the cabinet will inevitably be bad. Ye Xingyuan never fears to speculate on their minds with the worst malicious intentions. As long as he can be promoted to the position of the sixth grade, he will be satisfied.

This rank is a bit embarrassing among local officials, and it is difficult to achieve the main hall of a government office. If you are a county magistrate and are too high, you will probably be the second-level official of a government office. If you go to Jiangnan, where is the place rich, there are many government offices, and your actions are even more constrained.

Ye Xingyuan thought for a while and said, "I was originally a Dinghuman, and I was only separated from Shuzhong. It was also a barbarian land, so I was not afraid of not getting used to it. I heard that Shuzhong has many mountains and difficult roads to walk, so let's go to Shuzhong first and take Yan Wuxie's scepter."

Yan Wuxie doesn't need to think too much about it. He must be the five virtues representing "Qi". His outstanding reputation is the story of his ceremonial sheep for more than ten years. It is said that when he returned to the Central Plains, he was still holding on to the ceremonial issued by the King of Chu, and all the hairs on it fell out. Some people praised him for his mission overseas, and his family was worthy of being extremely noble.

Yan Wuxie was originally from Shu. When he was young, he learned from the saints and worked tirelessly. The saints called him the most eager to learn. He studied with the saint for twenty years, and he did not serve in the State of Chu until he was in his forties. He was originally a low-level official. Because he was proficient in etiquette and understood the various languages ​​of various countries, he served as Taichang Temple and was responsible for receiving envoys from various countries.

The State of Chu was located in the south, bordering the southern vassal states. Some of these states were barbarians, and some were also established by humans. They were originally loyal to the Zhou emperor. However, because of the Warring States Rebellion, they were all ready to move and were disrespectful to the envoys in the Central Plains.

Especially in the South Yue Kingdom, they were arrogant and always wanted to attack the Central Plains. That year, Yan Wuxie was appointed by the King of Chu to serve as an envoy to Nanyue, asking Nanyue for tributes from Nanyue.

This was a natural thing, but the king of Nanyue was rude and detained Yan Wuxie, asking him to kneel down and submit to him. How could Yan Wuxie, a righteous gentleman, agree? The two stalemates, and the king of Nanyue ignored him as an envoy of Chu and drove him to the wasteland of Nanyue and let him shepherd the sheep to humiliate him.

At that time, the Chu State was in civil turmoil and the surrounding countries had not stopped attacking, so they had no time to take care of this envoy. Yan Wuxie lived in Nanyue for fifteen years, calming down, neither humble nor arrogant, and not eating soft and hard.

It was not until the death of the king of Nanyue that his son succeeded to the throne that he was released to the Central Plains because he admired Yan Wuxie's integrity. Yan Wuxie was in his prime when he was on a mission, but when he came back, he was already covered in white hair. When he returned, everyone followed him and praised him for his integrity and righteousness of being proud of the wind and frost.

In Ye Xingyuan's view, Yan Wuxie's actions are still much worse than Zi Yan. After all, Zi Yan has achieved great success in saving the people, and Yan Wuxie only has a good reputation. Although he can use this to inspire future generations, he still has some regrets in the end.

Yan Wuxie got sick in Nanyue and died less than two years after returning to China. It was a pity that he could not realize his ambitions.

In this regard, his situation is more similar to Gao Huajun, that is, they all have outstanding moral qualities, but their political achievements are far inferior to those of other disciples of the saints.

Mrs. Li also agreed with Ye Xingyuan's decision, "The situation in Jiangnan is much more complicated. Let's go to Shuzhong first. You have been too popular in the past two years and you should indeed sink a little."

Of course, you have to show off when you are an official, otherwise your superiors will not remember you at all. But you cannot keep showing off when you are an official, otherwise your superiors will not tolerate you.

Ye Xingyuan built Qiongguan Special Zone, which had left a deep impression on the cabinet and the emperor. Now he hid in Shu to avoid it, which is a way to retreat as an advance.

Although Mrs. Li thought so, Ye Xingyuan had other plans. He thought that even if he could shine, he would shine everywhere. I was afraid that even if he wanted to hide his strength, it would be difficult. Who knew what would happen in Shuzhong waiting for him?

What's more, he had thought that as a base, Qiongguan can also be used as another base. This place has rich mineral resources, easy to defend and difficult to attack. The so-called "Shu will be in chaos before the world is chaotic, and the world has been pacified and Shu has not been pacified. As a place where the world is separatist in troubled times, it is also a good choice.

However, Shu is not very peaceful now, and refugees enter Shu, causing many disturbances. Unlike Dinghu, Ye Xingyuan moved around and managed Zhu Ning'er and his daughter. Some people have already claimed to be king in Shu, which has made the court angry and suppressed him several times, but it still has no results.

Ye Xingyuan thought, "Yan Wuxie's tomb is in Tianzhou Prefecture, the capital of Shuzhong. The prefect of Tianzhou is at least a fifth rank. I can't win this position. You see, what official positions can I take down in the mansion. We must move easily before we can come and go smoothly."

Mrs. Li nodded and said, "I can save this, but Tianzhou Prefecture may not have any positions. If it is really not possible, can adults consider positions in the province?"

The provincial governor's yamen, governor's yamen, inspector's yamen and academic government's yamen, all have sixth rank official positions, but these positions are even more restricted. Ye Xingyuan considered that it would be better to go directly to the mansion unless necessary.

After all, with his grade, at most, there is only a magistrate and a direct boss. If he arrives in the provincial government, God knows how many bosses will cause trouble. It is better to save some trouble, always save some trouble.

Ye Xingyuan said: "Preferring to Tianzhou Prefecture is the first priority. If it really doesn't work, it's Shuzhong Province. This place is just an excessive amount. Please help me find a way."

Mrs. Li took the order and began to operate with the resources left by the Yao family. It was still half a year before. Shuzhong was not a popular place, so she should be able to operate a good position. Ye Xingyuan was not in a hurry, so he waited for the good news.

However, this time it seemed to be a little bumpy. Mrs. Li thought about a solution for a long time, but found that Tianzhou Prefecture was like a piece of iron, and water could not be poured in for a while. Looking back and analyzing Ye Xingyuan, there must be extremely deep problems in it, and I am afraid that officials will collude and there will be corruption.

Ye Xingyuan sighed: "I heard that Shu is comfortable and officials are prone to greed. From this point of view, I am afraid it is not a trivial matter. Fortunately, I still have the position of Jinyiwei. When I arrived at the place, I found a way to make some noise and move my position."

If Tianzhou Prefecture cannot be inserted, I can only consider Shuzhong Province. This is not difficult. Ye Xingyuan does not seek real power and position. He can also get a false name, so there will be more choices.
