The governance of a flourishing age

"Universe in the Sleeve."

Fang Zelin picked up the wine gourd, examined it for a long time, and pondered how to use Law Technique on it.

Just as Fang Zelin was pondering, his eyes suddenly flickered slightly.

Turning my head, I saw a Xiao Xiao head popping out on the river not far away, looking around as if it were observing something.

Then, they cautiously looked towards the wooden house.

But when her eyes met Fang Zelin's, she immediately plunged into the water as if startled.

Fang Zelin was speechless at the sight. What was wrong with this dragon girl? Why was he being treated like the villain?

"You're all here, what are you doing hiding to the side?"

Fang Zelin spoke, taking a sip of "All Things in Spring".

"Hehe, Uncle Fang found out."

Little Dragon Girl popped her head out, and then, as if she were very happy, ran straight out of the water.

Driven by Xiaolongnu, the river water, like a water bridge, carried Xiaolongnu from the Yongding River to her, before the water bridge retracted.

Fang Zelin narrowed his eyes slightly upon seeing this; Xiao Qin's water manipulation technique was becoming increasingly exquisite.

There was no sign of the other party using Law Technique, yet the water came simply as they controlled it.

"What's wrong? Are you uncomfortable staying in the Dragon Palace?"

Fang Zelin beckoned to the Little Dragon Girl, gesturing for her to sit down to the side.

"Yeah, the Dragon Palace is so boring, but the elders won't let Xiao Qin go to the human world to play, so I can only stay with Uncle Fang for a while!"

As Xiao Qin spoke, she sat down on a stone chair nearby, swinging her slender legs.

Fang Zelin found it somewhat amusing, "That's all?"

Xiao Qin hesitated for a moment upon hearing this, then cautiously said, "Of course, I'd also like to have a meal at Uncle Fang's."

"It would be even better if Uncle Fang could let Xiao Qin listen to the conch shell!"

It's been a long time since I've been here, and these are the only things Xiao Qin has been thinking about.

One was to try Fang Zelin's spiritual rice, and the other was the "Falling into the Mortal World" conch shell that she particularly liked.

"The conch shell is inside the house; go get it yourself."

To be honest, this conch shell really gave Fang Zelin a big surprise.

He spent ten years in these mountains, and in his spare time, he would take out the conch shell and listen to music.

"Thank you, Uncle Fang!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qin's face lit up with joy, and she quickly ran towards the house.

He quickly took out a conch shell from inside the house and held it to his ear to listen to it gently.

"If you have a conch shell, you can take another one back with you."

Seeing how much Xiao Qin liked it, Fang Zelin couldn't help but say something.

Xiao Qin became a little nervous upon hearing this, "That conch shell is very rare; there's only one like it."

Just one? Then there's nothing we can do.

Fang Zelin didn't say anything more after hearing this.

In the distance, through the mist on the river, a person could be seen slowly walking towards them, holding an umbrella.

Upon closer inspection, it was Zhang Weichu approaching with an umbrella.

"Brother Fang, do you have guests at home today?"

As Zhang Weichu approached, he saw Xiao Qin holding Xiao Qin and was slightly taken aback.

"Yes, she's a good friend's daughter, just visiting."

Fang Zelin was somewhat surprised to see Zhang Weichu. "It's been quite a while since I've seen Brother Zhang."

"Don't even mention it. The Underworld Bureau has been incredibly busy these past few years; they haven't had time to visit Brother Fang."

Zhang Weichu sat down next to him and sighed.

Fang Zelin brought over some fine wine, poured a glass for the other person, and asked with slight surprise, "The Great Qian has been established, and the Human Race Karmic Fortune is extremely strong. Why are you still so busy?"

This isn't a world plagued by disasters and filled with dead people, so why is it so busy?

"Brother Fang, don't you know? Over the past few years, the Great Qian Dynasty has been constantly waging war against vassal states, resulting in numerous deaths and injuries."

The deaths and injuries here were not only from the Great Qian Kingdom, but also from vassal states; some were prisoners who were transported here and then died.

Zhang Weichu explained, and then sighed, "Speaking of which, things shouldn't be so complicated anymore. The Great Qian Kingdom has now pacified all sides, the current emperor is diligent in his duties, has many good policies, and the people are loyal to him."

"The people of the Great Qian Kingdom live in peace and prosperity. In the past ten years, farmland has been fully restored, and water conservancy projects and official roads have been built in various places. Judging from this, this emperor can lay the foundation for a prosperous era for future generations during his reign."

Zhang Weichu spoke, his face was full of admiration, with a hint of longing in it.

He was thinking of the ambition he had when he took the imperial examination.

When he took the imperial examination, he thought about serving the court and bringing blessings to the people.

Unfortunately, while crossing the water, he was dragged into being a scapegoat, and his ambitions were thwarted.

Now, seeing the current emperor, who has accomplished what he wanted to achieve all his life, it's hard not to feel some respect.

Moreover, Zhang Weichu heard from some scholars that the current emperor had made many changes to the imperial examination system, so that some talented scholars would no longer have their talents buried.

These measures filled Zhang Weichu with even more emotion.

"Judging from Brother Zhang's sentimental expression, could it be that you still aspire to serve as an official in the imperial court?"

Seeing Zhang Weichu's expression, Fang Zelin immediately chuckled.

He knew Zhang Weichu's previous ambitions, and seeing him like this now, he knew exactly what the other was thinking.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Weichu immediately shook his head. "If it were before, I might have been able to think about it, but not now. The court is now full of capable ministers; any one of them could be a peerless talent. How could I, with my meager talents, dare to display them?"

"Moreover, to govern the Great Qian Dynasty to this state in such a short time is already beyond my ability, but to witness this prosperous era is indeed a great pleasure."

At this point, Zhang Weichu picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all in one gulp, a slight flush rising to his face. "With the Great Qian Dynasty in its current state, it can truly be called a golden age of prosperity."

"It seems that the world is indeed in great prosperity."

Fang Zelin poured the other person a full glass and couldn't help but smile.

Having been away from the mountains for ten years, Fang Zelin was unaware of the situation outside.

However, judging from the information Zhang Weichu received, Meng Jiuchuan is currently governing the country quite well.

This is a good thing.

"Yes, the world is in great prosperity, ghosts and gods have disappeared, and immortals are no longer appearing. I, Zhang, understand the meaning behind this."

In prosperous times, there are few wronged souls. When the Great Qian Emperor ascended the throne, he granted a general amnesty, and many wrongfully imprisoned people were released, which can be considered as releasing a lot of the resentment in prison.

Now, in this prosperous era, there are far fewer wrongful convictions, so naturally there are no more vengeful ghosts.

As for immortals like Brother Fang, after the establishment of the Great Qian Dynasty, they stayed in these mountains to cultivate and comprehend the Dao until now, and have never left the mountains.

It became increasingly difficult to see immortals in the mortal realm.
