The fewer words there are, the greater the content is and the more shocking it is.
To put it simply, the higher-ups didn't care about what Ruihai said about the demons eating people, but instead adopted policies that were not much different from those of the wealthy families in Jiangnan.
Such a policy that is completely inconsistent with Ruihai's original intention and nature will lead Ruihai to retire and return home directly.
Ruihai fully adhered to the teachings of the sages' books about serving the people wholeheartedly and worked diligently for many years. However, in the end, he discovered that the people he wanted were completely different from those desired by his superiors.
Rui Hai really packed up his things and returned to his most remote and wild island on the southeast coast.
But I feel something is not right. What kind of person is Ruihai? He is the one who thanks the emperor for the best memorial in the world and writes down the emperor's sins to his face. He is not afraid of death, so why would he be afraid of orders from people above him?
I continued to send letters to inquire.
Ruihai was very secretive about this and was unwilling to answer me directly.
I never got an answer.
The national trend is moving forward and does not stop.
I know that cooperating with the Japanese pirates is like raising a tiger to harm oneself. They are wearing human skin, but they are still beasts at heart.
No matter how well they learn the etiquette of Daxia, they are beasts at heart.
I chose to retreat. Since they have already made their choice on a big level, why should a small person like me worry about it?
The country no longer needs me to take care of it. It is enough for me to take care of my own family.
I didn't rush back to Jianyi, but instead took the initiative to choose to go to Longxing Martial Arts Academy for further studies.
With the current level of their operations, future unrest is absolutely inevitable.
I need to learn more systematic and comprehensive command and combat skills, and I also need to further improve my martial arts.
I am not as grand as Ruihai, who wants to save the collapsing building.
I just want to protect my little home.
I never think that my abilities are invincible. I am just an ordinary person with some abilities, and my intelligence is not top-notch.
Even with the help of the Book of Life and Death, he has only reached the level of geniuses of the same level after many years.
Only in a state or county can one be considered a top genius.
Looking at Daxia and the whole world, I am far behind.
In terms of martial arts cultivation alone, I don’t know how many years it would take me to catch up with the old Taoist in the Ten Thousand Mountains, not to mention the martial arts saint-level figures in the capital of Daxia.
In terms of literary talent, I am far inferior to Ruihai. Ruihai only passed the imperial examination and did not even pass the imperial examination.
With his help, he was able to write the best memorials in the world and became a saint through his literary talent and became famous in history.
I have the help of the Book of Life and Death many times, but I am not famous all over the world. I have long understood that I am just an ordinary person.
All I can do is put in a little more effort than ordinary people.
The martial arts academy is better than I thought, and I can learn a lot more.
Astronomy, geography, marching and fighting, talismans, and formations are all taught. I originally thought that in such a world of medium and high-level martial arts, all you had to do in fighting was use your muscles and rush forward without thinking. I never thought there were so many tricks.
In addition to studying, I did not completely give up on understanding the developments in the outside world, and I also continued to arrange things at home.
The situation in Jianyi deteriorated much faster than expected. Not long after Ruihai left, the atmosphere began to change drastically.
It is always like this: it is hard to get better, but it is easy to get worse.
The newly appointed county magistrate easily made one of his confidants a large landowner in Jianyi. Originally, there would be considerable resistance in this regard, after all, the wealthy landlords were not naive.
But we can only say that Ruihai's kung fu and skills are really amazing, and he swept Jianyi cleanly.
Ruihai had basically wiped out all the landlords who were very cunning and unkind in their wealth. The ones left were those who still had some conscience and were not that bad.
They are not very clever and are quite honest.
The newly appointed county magistrate simply used a few floods to deliberately gather a group of refugees.
After the refugees started causing trouble, the army was sent out to wipe them out. On the way, they happened to sweep away a few families, and it just so happened that the fertile land owned by those families was the best in that area. Isn’t that a coincidence?
I can only say that I am really lucky.
What’s even more coincidental is that these families just happen to have no background.
There were no famous people behind it, and the matter just calmed down quietly.
Although I have long realized the cruelty of this world, with Ruihai, the light of the times, in front of me, I have always held a glimmer of hope for this era.
After all, the world can accommodate a character like Rui Hai, so it seems that there is still justice in this world.
The result was exactly what I expected.
There are always great people in every era, but this is a dark age.
The overall darkness will not change because of the silence and moonlight in the night.
Those who go against the current are destined to have no good ending.
Just like the Ruihai going upstream, this is the nth time I have seen the Ruihai coming down.
I remember the last time was when I was slandered by the Censor and could not be promoted. More recently, I wrote the first memorial in the world, directly pointing out the emperor's mistakes, and was thrown into the Sky Prison, where I almost died on the spot.
And there were not many times when Ruihai was truly valued.
Rui Hai was promoted to the governor of Yangzhou before, perhaps because some people with a sense of justice wanted Rui Hai to stop the government or the aristocratic families from raising demons.
But the facts proved that it failed in the end. There were still people at the top who firmly supported this incident, and Ruihai had no choice.
The new Jianyi County Magistrate has no martial ethics and no rules. In the past, each family would give some of their land and wealth to the county magistrate, but this time they did not because of Ruihai.
Unexpectedly, the county magistrate took action directly and said, "If you don't give it to me, then I will take it directly."
His methods were quite sophisticated. The land and wealth were not recorded under a specific name. Instead, if he checked a confidant who had no relationship with him, only his confidant would be found.
It's obvious that he is a veteran. When the superiors come to investigate, he can sacrifice his car to save himself at any time.
Old white gloves.
I can't stand this kind of behavior, and what I can't tolerate even more is that if it continues at this pace, it won't be long before my three fake identities are exposed, and then the county magistrate will confiscate all of the more than 150,000 acres of land under my name.
After all, the three wealthy businessmen all had fake identities created by the Embroidered Uniform Guards, and they tried to make them have no connection with the official authorities as much as possible to avoid exposing their identities.
Now it has become a synonym for having no background, and there is a high possibility that the county magistrate will make an example of him.
And I feel like this time will pass quickly.
The land under my three fake identities were all rented out to local tenants at extremely low prices. Although it has only been a short time, I have already gained great prestige and a very good reputation in the local area.
The three wealthy businessmen are all well-known good people. Well, this situation is not good. Their reputation is better than that of the county magistrate, and their land and wealth are more than that of the county magistrate. In this era, they are seeking death.
There are many such things in the files of the Jinyiwei in Jianyi.
The local wealthy family was too famous, so they were directly targeted and killed by the county magistrate.
We in Jianyi will not allow such an awesome person to exist.
