The strongest nine thousand years old

Chapter 222 Heading to Yongzhou, the base for preaching

Since Chen Dong was appointed as the "General Inspector", he had to be responsible for this position.

Although he was reluctant to leave the ladies in the palace, he still packed his bags and embarked on a journey around the nine provinces.

Of course he was not alone, there were Qiuyue and those preachers, Yan Shiqi and the movable type printing block, and Zhang Xingchen and the other two.

This is both a patrol team and a preaching team.

The preachers who were willing to be captured by Qiuyue had their defenses broken directly.

If I had known that you were one of us and that you wanted to preach, I would have surrendered earlier. I would have saved myself from so many days in prison.

The only pity is that those believers were killed by Chen Dong overnight.

However, it was precisely because of the lives of those believers that Chen Dong was able to preach without obstacles—no one would believe that he was a preacher.

All I can say is that everything has a hidden price tag.

The group left Yanjing City on horseback, while Chen Dong and Qiuyue rode in a carriage together. The wheels of the carriage had been modified so there was no bumpiness at all.

The driver was Yan Shiqi. He asked through the curtain, "Commander, where is our first stop?"

Qiuyue wiped the corner of her mouth and glared at Chen Dong with embarrassment and annoyance.

That bastard, his displacement was too large, and it almost choked her and made her unable to breathe.

Chen Dong smiled leisurely, "Commander Qiuyue, where are we going first?"

Qiuyue said without hesitation: "Yongzhou."

There was a severe drought in Yongzhou, the people were exhausted, and food was as valuable as gold.

It is precisely because the people are exhausted and hungry that civil unrest arises and the soil is created for the spread of the various schools of thought.

It was because those preachers saw hope in the troubled times in Yongzhou that they could not help but stand out and want to overthrow the rule of Dayan.

Qiuyue went there to recruit believers and spread the teachings of the various schools of thought.

Chen Dong saw through her thoughts, but did not refuse. Instead, he asked Yan Shiqi to go to Yongzhou.

He also wanted to see how the people in Yongzhou were living after being rescued.

To get from Yanzhou to Yongzhou, one must pass Honghuaji. Chen Dong still remembers that when the imperial examination papers were printed and sent to various states, a swordsman in black snatched the papers from Honghuaji.

After investigation, Chen Dong discovered that the black-clad swordsman was actually a member of Julu Academy - Zhao Lu.

And Zhao Lu, like him, is also a preacher.

It can only be said that Yongzhou had become a base for preachers, and believers of the various schools of thought were particularly active there.

When Yan Shiqi drove to Honghuaji, it was already dusk. Chen Dong was not in a hurry to continue his journey and let everyone stay here.

Monitoring the world is one thing, and spreading the teachings of various philosophers is another.

That night, everyone stayed in the inn. Yan Shiqi called a few people to help print out the pamphlets of the various philosophers' theories and secretly stuffed them into the goods of the major merchants.

Qiuyue went into Chen Dong's room and didn't come out all night.

Chen Dong not only conquered her physically, but also conquered her psychologically - spreading the teachings of various philosophers.

Chen Dong alone is more powerful than all these preachers combined.

"Why do you want to spread all the theories of the various schools of thought? Wouldn't it be better to just spread the Yin-Yang School?"

Faced with Qiuyue's doubts, Chen Dong just smiled.

When only one flower blooms it is not spring; when hundreds of flowers bloom it is spring.

Since he has decided to preach, of course he has to preach all the teachings at once.

Only by enlightening the people can their thoughts be liberated, talents emerge and national strength prosper.

Chen Dong's vision is not limited to one city or one country, but the entire world.

But he had no way of explaining this to Qiuyue, and could only wait for time to give him the most fair judgment.

"What are you laughing at? Still pretending to be mysterious." Qiuyue rolled her eyes at Chen Dong and walked towards the door with her waist twisted.

After being tormented by that bastard all night, I feel my hips have become wider.

However, the woman who is watered is different, with a rosy face and full of charm.

When Qiuyue was dressing herself up in front of the mirror, she could feel that she had become three times more beautiful.

After packing up, the group headed for Yongzhou City.

The inspection teams sent by Yan Yunzheng also lived in Yongzhou City.

"Greetings, Consul General Chen."

"Greetings, Commander Chen."

As soon as Chen Dong's carriage arrived at Yongzhou City, the members of the inspection team and officials of all ranks in Yongzhou City were waiting at the city gate.

Chen Dong lifted the curtain and said calmly, "Don't stand here, let's go to the governor's mansion and talk."

Chen Dong lowered the car curtain and pressed Qiuyue's head hard.

"Woooooooo..."

Qiuyue let out a series of whimpering sounds and glared at Chen Dong fiercely.

Chen Dong squinted his eyes and smiled, pinching Qiuyue's smooth face.

Qiuyue snorted and turned her head away to ignore Chen Dong. This bastard only knew how to bully her and was not afraid of being seen.

When they arrived at the governor's mansion, Chen Dong and Qiuyue got out of the car, and Yan Shiqi and others stood respectfully behind Chen Dong.

"Commander Chen must have traveled all the way by boat and must have worked hard. I have prepared some wine to welcome you." Xu Zhiming said with a bow.

Chen Dong nodded gently, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Master Xu."

"Please in, Commander." Xu Zhiming led the way and introduced Chen Dong and others into the banquet hall.

"Commander, please take a seat."

Chen Dong naturally sat in the top seat, Qiuyue was on his right, and Yan Shiqi was on his left.

In addition to Xu Zhiming, the governor of the state, there were also military officer Wang Liang, chief officer Lin Yu, and nine members of the inspection team.

The leader of the inspection team, Zhang Qun, ranked seventh in the palace examination. He is an eloquent speaker and has a lot of knowledge.

"It's good to have General Manager Chen here. We have been in Yongzhou for a while and found that there are huge problems here. We are a little undecided. I would like to ask General Manager Chen for advice." Zhang Qun bowed.

Chen Dong asked in confusion: "Master Xu didn't cooperate with you?"

Xu Zhiming waved his hands repeatedly, "Commander Chen, you are joking. Team Leader Zhang asked for people and money, and I gave him everything I could except my official hat."

Zhang Qun also immediately said: "It's not Lord Xu, it's the people here."

Chen Dong raised his eyebrows, "Can ordinary people still be corrupt?"

Zhang Qun smiled bitterly and said, "It's not corruption, it's the teachings of various philosophers. When Great Yan was founded, it issued a clear order to ban the teachings of various philosophers, and related books were even listed as banned books. However, almost everyone here believes in the teachings of various philosophers. The customs of the people are like knives, and the opinions of the people are like furnaces. It's not right for us to ban them, and it's not right for us not to ban them."

Qiuyue glanced at Chen Dong subconsciously.

Chen Dong waved his hand nonchalantly, "You are investigating corruption, as for those theories, let them be."

Zhang Qun and his companions looked at each other, choked by Chen Dong's words.

Don’t you listen to Taizu’s words?

Chen Dong looked at Xu Zhiming and said, "Master Xu, I have worked hard on this journey. Is it possible to have some wine and food..."

Xu Zhiming slapped his forehead and said, "Look at my brain."

He clapped his hands and said, "Serve the food!"

As if to demonstrate his integrity, Xu Zhiming did not serve any meat or fish, and the vegetarian dishes were just ordinary home-cooked meals, not even as good as the food in restaurants.

Chen Dong frowned and lost his appetite instantly.

Seeing Chen Dong's unhappy expression, Xu Zhiming asked cautiously: "Commander Chen, but this food..."

Chen Dong coughed lightly, "A glimpse of the whole picture shows that Lord Xu is indeed honest."

This sentence seems to be both a compliment and a sarcasm.

Xu Zhiming twisted his buttocks and it felt like being pricked by needles.

"dong dong dong"

At this moment, the sound of drums suddenly came from outside the governor's mansion.

Beat the drum to appeal for justice!
