Chapter 348 Entering Beijing
Time flies by.

The war in the north gradually eased, and Lingzhou showed signs of some peace.

The increase in population in the government household register is the best evidence.

In order to facilitate taxation in Xuanyang, everyone needs to be registered and divided into household registrations. However, in times of war and poverty, many people will hide in the mountains and become illegal residents, and come out only after stability is restored.

Except for a small number of people from other states, most of the new people added to the government household register were actually refugees who had previously fled into the mountains.

The attitudes of local governments towards these people vary greatly.

The Central Plains, which has the most severe governance, will certainly turn these refugees into slaves or even charge them with serious crimes.

In comparison, Kong Sen's approach was much gentler. As long as the people were not on the run for a crime, the rest would return to their hometowns. After all, Lingzhou did not have much wealth now.

With these gentle means, more and more people came to Huanglongfu, and it regained its former prosperity.

As the general, Bai Yuan naturally doesn't need to worry about these things.

Under his suppression, the demonic rebellion in Lingzhou has almost disappeared. Otherwise, even if Kong Sen wanted to be gentle, he would not have the environment to do so.

In the Bai Mansion.

"Master, look!"

Fang'e's voice is sweet and charming.

She was as light as a swallow, moving easily on the rooftops, and her lightness skills had already reached a certain level.

Bai Yuan smiled with relief.

The talent of this new disciple he had just casually accepted was indeed incredible, even not inferior to his eldest disciple Murong Fu.

Murong Fu is the contemporary genius of the Murong family, and he has definitely passed the cognitive test. Fang E can be compared with Murong Fu, and her talent can be described as monstrous.

Because of Shui Rougu, Fang E's practice of Taoist Kung Fu was a natural process and her level improved rapidly.

His lightness skill is even more impressive.

It takes others ten years to practice Kung Fu, but this little girl only used Ji'ge'yu
Fang E jumped from the roof and landed lightly in front of Bai Yuan.

Now she has quietly undergone a great change, and has grown into a graceful and elegant lady. If Fang's parents see her again, they will definitely not recognize her.

Bai Yuan said with a straight face: "These are just some tricks that I haven't even mastered yet."

"Oh."

Fang E said "oh" obediently.

Although he said this, he was probably still not convinced in his heart.

Bai Yuan felt a headache looking at his disciple.

Compared to Murong Fu, Fang E's personality is much more lively, so Bai Yuan had to suppress this little girl's temper.

Just as Bai Yuan was fulfilling his duties as a master, Yang Fangyu came over.

"Little Moth got scolded again?"

Yang Fangyu looked gloating.

He had already known Bai Yuan, his new female disciple, for a long time. Unlike Bai Yuan, Fang E did not care about seniority with Yang Fangyu and they often quarreled.

Fang E glanced at Yang Fangyu, the bad uncle, with her little mouth.

Yang Fangyu took out a document from his arms: "A Yuan, the document from the Ministry of Personnel has arrived."

Bai Yuan took the gilded letter from Yang Fangyu.

This was the document transferring him to Beijing to serve as an official.

It is inevitable that he has entered the Hidden Dragon List.

Although local officials could also become important figures like Jiedushi, they also had to have experience as officials in Beijing. Otherwise, how could they be reused if they had never even seen the emperor?
This document was drafted by the Minister of Personnel himself and approved by the emperor.

As for why the imperial edict is not used, do you really think it is as cheap as cabbage?

Bai Yuan, who had received three imperial edicts, was already a top figure in the court.

Yang Fangyu looked reluctant: "When do you plan to leave?"

"It should be tomorrow."

"I won't see you off." Bai Yuan nodded.

Of course, you don't just know about serving as an official in the court now. In fact, the Ministry of Personnel will usually make arrangements for the appointment and dismissal of officials early on, and the paperwork is just the last step in the procedure.

He, Li Huan and Bai Yuan had already had several drunken sessions, so there was really no need to see them off.

Fang E blinked.

Capital? !
Of course, she also knew that her master was going to Beijing to take up an official position.

When she was in Danshan, she often heard the legend of Kyoto from Grandpa Zhou. That was the capital of Xuanyang, a city paved with gold bricks!

Bai Yuan’s eldest disciple Murong Fu is a member of the Murong family, so naturally he has to stay in Shenfu Mountain.

Fang E was still young and had a shallow foundation, so she could only follow Bai Yuan to the capital.

For this reason, Murong Fu was extremely envious for a long time.

Yang Fangyu forced himself to cheer up: "Unfortunately, Li Huan has gone back to Lingzhou for something. If A Yuan goes to Kyoto, he can go to see Yang Ting, the Minister of Works. He is my cousin."

But he laughed at himself as soon as he finished speaking.

With the backers behind Bai Yuan now, Dong Wanjun, Xu Dingchun, Yan Shaoan, just the names of these big guys are enough to scare people to death.

Bai Yuan nodded seriously: "If I encounter difficulties, I will go."

Yang Fangyu blinked his eyes and said, "A Yuan, why don't we just not talk about it."

He suddenly felt that if even Bai Yuan couldn't handle the problem, his cousin probably wouldn't be able to handle it either, and he might even get his cousin involved.

This generation of the Yang family did not have a smooth official career.

The most he had done was just a minister of the second rank, and he could not be of much help to Bai Yuan.

The next morning.

Bai Yuan took the documents from the Ministry of Personnel and left Huanglong Mansion with the little girl Fang E.

He has deep roots in Huanglong Mansion, so there is no need to worry even if he leaves.

Not to mention the background of Shenfu Sect and the fact that Yang Fangyu is the co-governor of Lingzhou, the fact that he is half a disciple of Yan Shaoan is enough to make most people give up.

Even if a new general takes office, he will most likely not make things difficult for those who are familiar with Shenfu Sect and Bai Yuan.

As the saying goes, fish swim in shallow water, while dragons soar into the sky.

Since you are a hidden dragon, you naturally want to go to a wider world.

The Northern Territory is still too small for Bai Yuan now. Only the Central Plains is the place where he can truly show his talents.

The luck of Xuanyang martial arts, the Central Plains occupies six buckets, and the rest of the world occupies four buckets.

Even a prosperous place like Jiangnan is still inferior to China in terms of martial virtues.

Perhaps it was precisely because of the great clans in the Central Plains that had been passed down for thousands of years that Emperor Taizu of that time established the national policy of governing the world together with the clans.

As the core of Central Plains and even the entire Xuanyang, Kyoto is naturally full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

Even the common people in the streets can speak as if they were masters of perception. This kind of scene can only be seen in Kyoto.

In Lingzhou, a martial artist who has reached the peak of his powers is already a god-like figure, and no one dares to make irresponsible remarks.

This also shows the grandeur of the capital.

Most local officials who came to Beijing to serve as officials had to keep a low profile, for fear of offending some big shot.

There was a constant stream of traffic outside the gates of the capital city, and the queue to enter the city stretched a mile away.

A long dragon is particularly eye-catching.

The disciples of high-ranking clans who ride magical horses or even exotic beasts are of course exceptions.

They don't even need to verify their identity, and naturally they don't have to queue up under the scorching sun.

Because the sun was too strong, the people queuing looked a little listless.

But the girl next to the young man was particularly active.
