Restart the Disaster of Another World

In the early morning, sunlight poured into the room through the window, illuminating the figures of Jing Yao and Wen Qun. They had just enjoyed a delicious breakfast and were happily preparing to take a walk in the garden.

Jing Yao stood up, stretched out his hand, and motioned Wen Qun to hold it. Wen Qun stared at the hand that was stretched out, and a touch of emotion flashed in his eyes. He knew that these hands were full of strength and could give his heart, which always had nowhere to rest, a sense of security.

Wen Qun gently placed his hand in Jing Yao's palm. When the two hands were tightly clasped together, Jing Yao exerted a little force, gently pulled, and brought Wen Qun into his arms.

At this moment, the distance between the two became extremely close, so close that Wen Qun could feel Jing Yao's hot breath, which made his heart beat faster and he didn't know how to respond for a moment.

"Let's go out." Jing Yao noticed Wen Qun's shyness and said considerately. He took the initiative to hold Wen Qun in his arms. Although Wen Qun's face flushed, he did not resist. So Jing Yao took him out of the room.

In the morning, Shangjing was full of vitality, and people woke up and started a new day. Jing Yao took Wen Qun for a walk at home, feeling the tranquility and harmony.

Jing Yao took Wen Qun for a stroll in the garden, admiring the blooming flowers and green grass. The sun shone on them, warm and comfortable. As they walked, they chatted and shared each other's daily life.

Wen Qun was touched by Jing Yao's attentive care, and he gradually let go of his inner restraint and began to enjoy this wonderful time. Jing Yao looked at him with gentle eyes, as if he wanted to engrave every detail of him in his heart.

Jing Yao and Wen Qun's feelings gradually warmed up, and they enjoyed this rare moment.

In the hot spring villa, everyone is busy preparing for the upcoming experiment. They will plant various new plants, including corn.

The Great Yu State was a commercial state with a prosperous maritime trade, which resulted in a lot of wealth from commercial taxes. However, the reason for the empty treasury was not insufficient tax revenue, but corruption and embezzlement of public funds by senior officials.

Since Xuanyuan Ting ascended the throne, he immediately launched a thorough investigation of officials. Those officials who were high-profile and corrupt had their homes confiscated, which quickly replenished the treasury funds. With sufficient funds, the next work became more legitimate.

Jing Yao went to the study under the guidance of An Yi. When he opened the door, he saw the familiar face. Since there were other people present, Jing Yao bowed cautiously and said, "Your Majesty."

Xuanyuan Ting smiled and waved his hand, his tone friendly and gentle: "No need to be polite."

Jing Yao's eyes swept over the group of people in the study, and Xuanyuan Ting began to introduce them one by one: "This is Li Nan, the head of the Li family."

Then he pointed to another person and said, "This is Feng Dangjia from Lanzhou Prefecture."

Finally, he pointed at the third person and said, "This is Mr. Wang from Baiduan Pavilion."

After Jing Yao greeted everyone one by one, he remained silent and allowed Xuanyuan Ting to dismiss everyone.

Xuanyuan Ting looked at Jing Yao carefully, and then whispered, "I know everything that A Yao has done in the south during this period of time."

Jing Yao moved his lips slightly: "That's just what I can do."

Xuanyuan Ting's eyes gradually turned red, but he still smiled and said: "For A Yao, this may be an easy thing, but for the thousands of people in Dayu, it is like giving them a second life. The court's inaction over the years has chilled them to the core. And I am at a critical moment now, I really dare not make any big moves, I can only pretend to be deaf and dumb."

Jing Yao sighed helplessly: "Your Majesty is also helpless."

"Alas, even if I have no choice, it is difficult for me to face the people of the world, and I feel guilty and uneasy." Xuanyuan Ting sighed.

Jing Yao couldn't help but look sad.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore."

Xuanyuan Ting forced a smile and said, "I have something I want to ask A Yao for help."

When Jing Yao returned home, Wen Yu was also at home, sitting on the sofa and chatting with Wen Qun. Both of them were very happy to see him come back.

"Ayao, you're back." Wen Qun ran over excitedly and hugged Jing Yao's arm.

Jing Yao's originally depressed mood disappeared after seeing Wen Qun's smile. He smiled and took Wen Qun's hand, and they both sat down at the table.

Wen Qun considerately took a cup and poured a cup of tea for Jing Yao.

Wen Yu looked at Wen Qun's attentiveness and couldn't bear to look at him. He teased, "Why haven't I seen you treat me so well?"

Wen Qun ignored him, there was only Jing Yao in his eyes.

Jing Yao took the tea handed to him by Wen Qun, took a sip, and then threw the thing he had been holding in his hand onto the table.

Wen Yu picked up the thing curiously: "What is this..."

He unfolded it and found it was actually an imperial edict. When Wen Yu saw the content, he was shocked.

Jing Yao had a calm expression on his face, as if he had expected this to happen.

Wen Yu obviously noticed that Jing Yao was in a good mood, and asked in confusion: "What's going on?"

"Brother, is there anything you want to bring me here for today?" Jing Yao asked instead of answering.

"I'm going to be posted outside." Wen Yu sighed.

"Where is it being played?" Jing Yao frowned.

"Qingyang County."

Jing Yao took a deep breath, trying to calm his excitement, frowned and asked: "Brother, do you know? There are three most famous things there."

Wen Yu looked at him in surprise and shook his head slightly, indicating that he had never heard of it.

Jing Yao continued, "There are poor mountains, bad waters, and unruly people. In addition, the border areas are often invaded by foreign tribes. I am not afraid of these, but the geographical environment of the border is very harsh, coupled with the local customs and the local indigenous residents, who are said to be very barbaric. I am really worried that I will encounter many difficulties as an official there."

Wen Yu knew Jing Yao's worries and comforted him with a smile: "Ayao, don't worry too much. The poorer the place, the easier it is to achieve political achievements. As long as we work hard, we will definitely be able to make a difference."

This Qingyang County is adjacent to the Hu people, who make their living by riding horses and shooting arrows. Therefore, once the Hu people invade, Qingyang County will become their first target of attack. "

"Most of the original residents of Qingyang County have died. Many of those who remain there are former soldiers. These soldiers have experienced the baptism of war, their hands are stained with blood, they carry a bloody smell, and their personalities are more violent than ordinary people.

In addition, since Qingyang County is located in the frontier, the residents here have close relations with the generals in the court. If the county magistrate is not competent for his job, the soldiers can report it directly to the generals.

There is another reason. The land in Qingyang County is not fertile, and natural disasters occur frequently, often resulting in poor harvests or even no harvest. The people are unable to pay taxes, and the court needs to provide funds to help the victims.

After the war, Qingyang County almost became an empty city. In order to attract more people to settle there, the imperial court decided to exempt them from taxes and corvée for ten years. As a result, the local officials had very little money to make.

The people in Qingyang County were very tough, and many people didn't even take the imperial court seriously. If they wanted to collect taxes, it would be difficult to collect them. Moreover, the first three county magistrates of Qingyang County died in battles with foreign enemies, and the first two county magistrates resigned voluntarily.

This is very strange. Don't they want to be officials anymore? Jing Yao heard that these two officials were put in sacks in the middle of the night because they bullied others. They could not continue to be officials, so they had to resign and retire. As a result, the position of county magistrate of Qingyang County has been vacant for a long time.

It seemed to be a nightmare place for county magistrates, and no one was willing to take the initiative to go there. The reason was simple. Many county magistrates had been exiled there because they had offended the powerful, and it became the end of their political careers.

In addition, Qingyang County is located in the border area, the land is barren, and once the Hu people attack, it is always the first to bear the brunt. This makes the life of local farmers very difficult.

However, Qingyang County has another special feature: a border patrol team is retained there. This team has close ties with local villagers, and many villagers have deep relationships with patrol team members.

During the war, these villagers fought side by side with the patrols to resist foreign enemies. Now that the war is over, some soldiers have chosen to retire and return home, while others continue to stay in the patrols.

Therefore, if the county magistrate dared to act recklessly and oppress the people, the patrol members would never sit idly by and would even dare to take action to teach the county magistrate a lesson.

In contrast, county magistrates in other places are usually majestic and their words are law. But in Qingyang County, the situation is completely different. If the county magistrate is not competent for his job and handles things unfairly, he may face pressure and sanctions from the patrol team.

This situation makes Qingyang County a unique place, where the county magistrate must act carefully and not easily cause trouble.

Jing Yao looked at Wen Yu and asked, "Do you really want to be this official?"

Wen Yu nodded firmly and said, "I think this is a rare opportunity for me."

Jing Yao looked at Wen Yu quietly, with a trace of worry in his eyes. He asked, "Brother, are you really planning to go to Qingyang County?"

Wen Yu smiled and nodded, and replied firmly: "Yes, the higher-ups gave me three months to go to Qingyang County to take up my post."

He had already made up his mind and was ready to pack his bags and embark on a new journey as soon as possible.

Jing Yaozhi looked at Wen Qun with a puzzled look on his face, frowned and asked, "Wouldn't it be better for you to stay in Shangjing? You are the top scholar of the previous dynasty, and a fellow student of the current emperor. You have a bright future ahead of you."

He really didn't understand why Wen Yu would give up his current stable life and choose to go to the border.

Wen Yu sighed softly, looked into the distance with a determined gaze, and slowly said: "Although Shangjing seems to be prosperous on the surface, I am insignificant and my words are not taken seriously. Even if the emperor values ​​me, my qualifications are too shallow and I have no persuasive power. Once I encounter suppression, I will still not be immune. I need a broader platform to realize my ambitions."

He knew very well that the officialdom was like a battlefield, and it would be difficult to gain a foothold for long without sufficient background and resources.

After hearing this, Jing Yao nodded silently to show his understanding. He knew that what Wen Yu said made sense. However, he couldn't help but worry and reminded: "However, Qingyang County is a place of trouble!"

Wen Yu nodded. He had been to the border before, so he naturally didn't care. He smiled and explained, "Don't worry! Rumors are not entirely accurate. Many things are not as simple as they are rumored to be."

For him, political achievements are the most important consideration.

Jing Yao looked at Wen Yu helplessly, his heart filled with worry. He whispered, "It's easier to achieve political achievements over there, but it's also the most dangerous place!"

He was worried that I would encounter danger in that chaotic environment. After all, the dangers of officialdom were not something that ordinary people could endure.

Although this official position is not easy to hold, it is still an official position after all, which can give him the opportunity to display his talents.

Jing Yao thought about it, and finally nodded, agreeing with Wen Yu's idea. He knew that Wen Yu had always been eager to make a difference, and this position might provide him with a platform.

Jing Yao turned his head and looked at him, with a faint smile on his face: "Brother, accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger, right?"

Wen Yu frowned, as if he didn't quite understand what Jing Yao meant.

At this time, Wen Qun came out of the kitchen, saw the two of them, and said with a smile: "The food is not ready yet. What do you want to eat today? I will tell you."

Jing Yao put down the teacup in his hand and called Wen Qun who was about to turn back to the kitchen: "Don't be busy. We are going out to eat today. I am afraid that we will have a rare opportunity in the future."

"Go out to eat?" Wen Qun's eyes sparkled and a surprised expression appeared on his face. Although he didn't know why, he was still very happy.

Jing Yao nodded with a smile: "Yes, nothing is more important than eating now."

"Go home?" Wen Qun's eyes sparkled. Could he really leave the capital? His voice trembled slightly, as if he couldn't believe what he heard.

Jing Yao nodded with a smile, a gentle light flashing in his eyes: "I will probably leave in the next few days, and the time has not been decided yet. You should prepare yourself first, because you never know when you will leave." His tone was relaxed, but there was a hint of determination in his eyes.

"Going back to Lin'an?" There was a hint of anticipation and excitement in Wen Qun's voice, as if he had already seen the green mountains and clear waters of his hometown.

Jing Yao shook his head and explained with a smile: "It's probably further north, but the exact location is still unknown." There was a hint of mystery in his voice, which made Wen Qun curious.

"North?" Wen Qun was panicked and raised his voice unconsciously. He widened his eyes and looked at Jing Yao with confusion. To him, the north was a strange and distant place, with different customs and climate conditions from the south. He had never thought of living there, and his heart was filled with anxiety and fear.

Wen Yu left first as he still had many things to deal with. Although Wen Qun felt sorry, he also knew that he could not be willful and could only make an appointment with Wen Yu for another day.

Jing Yao took Wen Qun out and headed for Zhenxiu Tower.

Wen Qun grew up in the countryside, and Jing Yao also came from the countryside. They are both country bumpkins. Although they have been in Beijing for a while, they have never had the opportunity to visit the capital properly. This time, Jing Yao hopes to leave Wen Qun with a good memory.

Wen Qun was still a child, full of curiosity and enthusiasm for everything. As soon as he got to the street, he looked around excitedly, his eyes full of novelty and joy. Everything attracted his attention, making him want to see more.

Jing Yao did not stop him, but indulged Wen Qun's curiosity. As long as Wen Qun liked it and thought it was suitable, he would have someone buy it and give it to him.

Seeing Wen Qun's innocent smile, Jing Yao felt a sense of satisfaction. He had indeed neglected Wen Qun a little during this period of time, and today he finally had a chance to make up for it.
