Chapter 161 White Tiger Imperial Capital
After Li Changsheng returned, he made some arrangements and flew towards the imperial city with the city lord Shi Lun.
County magistrates like them cannot leave their jurisdiction casually.
Independent Cultivator can go anywhere, but every time you pass through a place, you will pay city fees, tolls, etc. The cost of Independent Cultivator is very high.
This time, I followed the city lord to the Imperial City of the Empire, and there was no need to pay any fees along the way.
Another colleague named Liu Yongfu was admitted through a proper examination, and the official was not bought.
People used to call him an upright official, but it seems that they don't call him that anymore.
There is a saying that the three-year Qing magistrate, one hundred thousand snowflakes, is vividly reflected in Liu Yongfu.
The city lord is a big corrupt official, which official in the entire empire is not corrupt, who can show him that he is an upright official.
Slowly, Liu Yongfu also became a big corrupt official, but the corruption was very subtle.
"Is this a birthday gift from you?"
On the giant sword, the strong wind is cold, but it is protected by the aura shield of the city lord Shi Lun, just like a spaceship flying in the air, it is very safe.
At this time, Liu Yongfu took out a domestic gift box, a very large gift box, which contained a large birthday character composed of various spirit stones, pearls and agates.
"Master Li, do you think I can afford this birthday gift?"
It has to be said that Liu Yongfu's birthday gift was thoughtful. Each diamond pearl on it has a strong aura fluctuation. These are not ordinary pearls and emeralds. They are connected together and sparkle, which is quite dazzling.
"The total value of this birthday gift is at least several million spirit stones, sir, are you really willing?"
Li Changsheng asked while appreciating the birthday gift, it seems that Liu Yongfu has also corrupted a lot in recent years.
It’s just a drop in the bucket compared to Li Changsheng. His corruption is corruption, but what he corrupts is the resources of the empire, but he has never corrupted the common people.
Liu Yongfu was corrupt. He didn't dare to embezzle the resources of the empire, but he took money from the common people.
"The Supreme Emperor celebrates his ten-thousand-year birthday, so what is this gift? As long as the Supreme Emperor is happy, the subordinate officials will be satisfied."
Liu Yongfu looked willing.
Shi Lun in front of him just glanced at the birthday gift and didn't say anything. He didn't care what his subordinates gave him. The birthday gift like Liu Yongfu can only be said to be so-so.
He had seen the world, the emperor had seen it countless times, and there were countless dignitaries in the city, Liu Yongfu's birthday gift seemed vulgar to him.
"Master Li, what is the birthday gift you gave? Could you let the lower officials appreciate it."
"Me? I didn't send it."
Li Changsheng shook his head and said.
"What? Master Li, this is a longevity feast. It's not right for others to give you away, isn't it?"
Hearing this, Liu Yongfu turned pale with fright. The county magistrate Li Qi in front of him was a corrupt official, with so much money in his hand, he didn't even get a cent out of it.
Wouldn't it be bad luck if the emperor found out about this.
If others send you off, isn't that just looking down on the emperor? Don't give the emperor face?
"What's wrong, the whole world belongs to the Supreme Emperor, what we give is precious, even the Supreme Emperor doesn't like it."
"Besides, I'm so poor. I'm an upright official. I'm poor and white. If this is a birthday gift of several million spirit stones, what would the emperor think?"
These words surprised Liu Yongfu.
His yearly salary is only more than 10,000 spirit stones, and the several million birthday gifts are given out directly, wouldn't it take hundreds of years to get them back.
If the emperor saw this birthday gift, he would think, where did you get so much money? It must be corrupt.
So if this is sent out, doesn't it prove that he is a big corrupt official?
Besides, so many officials in the White Tiger Empire gave gifts, his little gift was nothing but thrown away, how could the emperor remember his little gift.
"Master Li is right, what he said is right."
Thinking of this, Liu Yongfu hurriedly put away the birthday gift in embarrassment. Since Li Qi didn't want to give it away, he didn't plan to give it away either.
If someone blames him, then there will be the city lord who will bear the blame. He has been clean and honest all his life, serving the country and the people, how can he give gifts, the most important thing for the emperor is gifts.
If the emperor asked, why not give gifts? He can also say that he is an upright official, his salary for one year is not enough to eat, his clothes have not been changed for several years, and maybe he can get some rewards from the old man of the emperor.
A month later, Shi Lun brought Li Changsheng and Liu Yongfu to the White Tiger Imperial Capital.
From a distance, the imperial capital is majestic and majestic, close to the White Tiger Mountain range, the continuous peaks look like soaring tigers looking up to the sky and roaring.
Among them, the clouds and mist are lingering, more like White Tiger.
The imperial capital was built in this group of White Tiger Mountains. At the foot of the mountain was the imperial capital, where mortals lived, and the imperial palace was built in the center of the endless mountains.
In the entire mountain range, the pavilions and temples are well arranged, just like a fairyland.
This is the first time for Li Changsheng to see the perfect Integrated Union architectural style of the palace and mountains, which has the atmosphere of cultivating immortals and the majesty of the mortal royal.
After arriving at the imperial capital, the three of them could only walk forward. The aura in the surrounding air was three points thicker than other places. The closer to the palace mountain range, the more intense the aura.
It is rumored that the people who settle here will live a few years longer than those in other places. Thanks to the environment here, it can be regarded as the best geomantic omen in the empire.
On the street, the ground is paved with pure white marble, and the ground is cleaned like a mirror, and the surrounding shops are also extremely luxurious and magnificent.
Looking at the majestic mountains from a distance, it seems that the mythical beast White Tiger is looking down on all living beings.
After entering the city, Shi Lun took them with ease to the foot of the mountain range, where there is a special residence for officials from other places, and the hierarchy is strict.
There are clear regulations on the yards where officials of several ranks live.
"There are still three days. After you stay here, you can go around the city and gather at the gate of the palace in the morning after three days."
"yes."
Shi Lun arranged Li Changsheng and Liu Yongfu to live together, and after giving some instructions, he went to the area where the third-rank officials lived.
After Shi Lun left, Li Changsheng and Liu Yongfu's minds became active. When they turned their eyes, the other yards were also full of voices. According to the sense perception, there were many officials who came here, most of them were monks from the Foundation Building Stage , including some Core Formation Stage monks.
These people were all county magistrates brought by various city lords. At a glance, those people looked extremely grand, but the two of them looked like country bumpkins.
After getting acquainted with the environment, the two left the yard. When they came to the downtown area of the imperial capital, it was really an eye-opener.
Looking around, there is not a single refugee or beggar on the street, there are dignitaries everywhere, the women are dressed in gorgeous clothes, and the men's clothes are also considered luxurious and luxurious. Looking at it as a whole, it reveals the pride and luxury of the people of the imperial capital everywhere.
