Chapter 165 The Birthday Banquet Begins
"My lord, what's the matter with you?"
In the lobby, Liu Yongfu looked at Li Changsheng who came out in surprise.
At this moment, Li Changsheng's eyes were full of depression, and his heart was filled with depression.
‘It must be excessive indulgence, tired. '
When Liu Yongfu saw Li Changsheng like this, he already had a conclusion in his heart. He really didn't expect that this Master Li was so unrestrained, so lustful, and he didn't rest for two days in a row.
"It's okay, let's go."
Li Changsheng smiled wryly, and could only swallow the depression in his heart.
I spent a full 20 million spirit stones, bought 70 Shengling Pills, and used 60 of them.
The breakthrough failed. After eating 60 Shengling Pills in a row, they were full, but still did not break through.
How embarrassing it would be if it got out.
Which monk can't break through after eating so many ascending spirit pills? How bad is this talent.
But this happened to Li Changsheng. After two days of tossing, he didn't break through to the Gold Core stage, and he was almost immune.
It seems that whether I can advance in the future depends entirely on luck.
Originally, my talent was poor, and I thought that I would spend my whole life eating and drinking in the Qi Refining Stage.
By chance, I went to the Abyss of Ghosts. I was lucky enough to advance to the Foundation Building Stage. I also ate the Longevity Fruit and forcibly cultivated to the late stage of the Foundation Building.
If he can reach the later stage of the Foundation Building, he still has nothing to be satisfied with, so let everything take its course.
After the two left White Tiger Tangquan, they returned to the official residence area. At this time, many officials had already started rehearsing and waiting.
Some officials even sat cross-legged at the entrance of the palace and lined up.
Tomorrow is the day to participate in the Longevity Banquet. I heard that there will be a big banquet for three days and three nights to celebrate with the whole country and amnesty the world.
Naturally, the other three countries also sent missions, many of whom also had relatives of the emperor, noble princes and so on.
"Master Li, should we also wait at the door?" Liu Yongfu couldn't help asking seeing the other county magistrates being so active.
"What's the use of doing these fake loyalty, go back to sleep."
Li Changsheng waved his hand and returned to the house. Liu Yongfu was right after thinking about it, and immediately followed him in.
"Master Li, I heard that you have developed tourist attractions there, and the development is very fast."
Liu Yongfu said with a smile at this time.
"Why? Master Liu also wants to join the joint venture."
"Isn't this for the country and the people? My county is too poor. I also want to develop it. I have to make some political achievements. It's not for appearances."
In fact, the main purpose of monks as officials is to maintain law and order. Many monks disdain to do such things as development.
Developing for the common people is like a useless effort for monks to govern by doing nothing.
Everything follows the imperial government's policy. As long as the imperial court does not act, they, the monks who are officials, will be like that.
"It's easy to say, as long as you are not afraid of death, you can work with me to ensure that you will develop into a prosperous big city in ten years."
"Ah? Is this still going to die? Is it so dangerous?"
"As a corrupt official, you have to be prepared to be killed at any time. You can't be corrupt for a lifetime and be safe, don't you think so?"
Li Changsheng said with a smile.
As soon as these words came out, Liu Yongfu's smile froze. Those who are greedy for the small are also greedy, and those who are greedy for the big are also greedy. Anyway, they are all greedy.
In the entire White Tiger empire, which monk is not greedy when he is an official? He used to be a nerd and a little greedy. Now Li Changsheng bought a county magistrate, who eats hot food, and the city lord secretly protects him. How can he not feel itchy? .
"Master Li is right. I will do it with you after I decide to go back. I hope Master Li will give you some pointers."
"Okay, when I go back, I'll give you a hand."
Li Changsheng smiled. Anyway, he slapped Luo Lingcheng to death and left. As for what will happen to Liu Yongfu in the future, he doesn't care.
Over the years, he has also seen that the entire White Tiger empire looks extremely powerful on the surface, but in fact, it has long been riddled with holes, and there is no corruption.
Where do you get the cultivation resources without corruption? 80% of the cultivation resources are in the hands of the royal family.
Even if it is a good performance, the imperial court doesn't care about those one or two honest officials.
As long as the resources are in the hands of the royal family and the ancestors of the Mahayana Stage are in charge of the empire, the empire will never fall.
As for the common people, as long as they don't starve to death, that's enough.
The reason why the Empire of the Four Gods let the monks control the empire is that they can control all the resources in the empire more accurately.
Compared with the original sects on the mainland, such an empire-style cultivation world has stronger control, and there are almost no extra resources for ordinary Independent Cultivators to divide.
As a result, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. The cultivation resources are always in the hands of the super family of the empire, and the Independent Cultivator will never be able to stand out for a lifetime.
On the second day, Li Changsheng and Liu Yongfu began to wash up and went to the gate of the palace.
As soon as I got there, thousands of officials were waiting there early.
At the front are the city lords of the empire, and they will be the first to line up to enter, and the county magistrates behind them have to register and give congratulatory gifts before they can enter one after another.
"Master Li, is it really okay for us to give away nothing?"
Liu Yongfu looked at the county magistrates queuing up to give gift boxes, big and small, and couldn't help feeling nervous.
"No, the city lord didn't say anything, what are you afraid of, no matter how much you send, it will be in vain."
Li Changsheng said frankly, a gift to the emperor? The emperor has no shortage of those things.
Work for the boss, can the boss still ask the employees for gifts? joke.
The queue lasted for more than an hour. After Li Changsheng and Liu Yongfu walked over, they just reported their names and the county seat and went in.
The eunuchs in charge of registration were a little confused when they saw that the two were clean and didn't give anything away, but they didn't say anything, and silently wrote on the record, rude.
Entering the imperial palace, it is really magnificent. The hall in front of it is majestic and tall, stretching tens of thousands of meters in depth. The further you go in, you can see more palaces and pavilions scattered on the mountain range, hidden in the clouds surrounded by aura , like a fairy palace.
Looking at the gorgeous palaces, Liu Yongfu was shocked and amazed. The palace is the palace, with incomparable grandeur. It is different from the palaces in the mortal world. There is a feeling of fairy everywhere, extremely grand and solemn.
The main hall of the imperial palace is located in the center of the mountain range, covering an area of tens of thousands of square meters. The White Tiger made of pure white spirit jade sits on both sides, and the surroundings are even more radiant and densely covered with runes.
The defensive barrier here is beyond imagination, Li Changsheng can see it at a glance, even if it is a Void Refining level powerhouse, it may not be able to shake it in the slightest.
In front of the main hall, the county magistrates could only wait outside. Only city lords, capital officials from other places, and foreign envoys were eligible to enter the main hall to face the saint.
When the bell rang from the palace, the morning court ended, and the eunuchs took the county magistrate to another, more spacious place deep in the mountains, where there were many palaces, and it was the place for the birthday banquet.
