Chapter 493 Wind and Thunder Bitter Apricot Tree

General Ikehashi Song is in charge of Jiangyou Province's military affairs - this is Ike Hashimatsu's new identity. The title is not long, but it means that he is the dictator of Jiangyou Province.

The political system of the Republic of China determined the absolute control of the local governor by the powerful governor.

Although the central government governs the whole country in name, it is more like a kind of cooperation with the local government. This is why the cabinet must be held by a great master or a great master.

Only the Great Celestial Master and the Great Master can order the place.

For a weak celestial master or mage, the local warlords are no bird at all.

From February onwards, Ikehashi Song, who was promoted to general, continued to be the hands-off shopkeeper, and all government affairs were handed over to the seven-member government affairs team.

He only occasionally shows up at the provincial government to decide on the general direction of reform, or to stand up for a certain policy.

The rest of the time he spent practicing in Sihan Tianshi Mansion, keeping in mind the Minister of Finance's instructions, did not leave Jiangyou Province, did not seek fault with the Pu and Banyan Clans, and did not behead Sun Yuman.

Even if he attended certain activities in the province, he would simply show his face, and then quickly leave in stealth, without giving any chance of being ambushed.

that's it.

February passed safely, and March came when spring blossomed.

The development of Jiangyou Province has entered the fast lane, and Ikehashi-song's reforms did not overthrow the measures of Wang Xinjian's era.

Still cooperating with the Education Institute to promote the martial arts school system, and deepening it to the level of internal strength; cooperating with the Transportation Institute to develop transportation, railways and highways are being built vigorously; accepting the tax reform of the Minister of Finance, merging the country and land, and checking taxes...

As long as there are measures that are conducive to development, he will vigorously promote them, no matter which committee is involved behind it, whether it is a committee of a hostile faction or a committee of a friendly faction.

"Treat things not people, do things seriously, and develop Jiangyou." This is the policy he proposed to the government affairs team in the provincial government.

In a flash, March passed again.

After entering April, the weather is gradually getting hotter, and the provincial government has completed personnel adjustments across the province.

Ikehashi Matsuya also took advantage of the adjustment of the division of labor to meet the masters who ate from all over the place, as well as scholars and officials who served as city officials and county governors.

On this day, he met a master from the original Ou Clan.

This master lived in the Daobao Tower.

Ikehashi Song said solemnly: "Wang Wenbin is the governor. From now on, he will be the governor of Fanyi County, Fuliang City. While concentrating on cultivation and suppressing luck, I still have tasks for you."

Wang Wenbin's posture was correct: "Please order, Commander!"

"You can visit Panyi County and quietly collect clues about auspicious beasts and exotic plants in the county. Remember to visit in a low-key manner and don't disturb the people. If you have any clues, you can report to me immediately. Remember, this is not an official business. It's just my private entrustment." Ikehashi Song urged.

"Promise to complete the task for the commander!"

"Very well, Wang Dutong, I wish you all the best."

"Thank you, handsome!"

Accompanied by Wang Wenbin was the county magistrate of Panyi County, a pure scholar official, aged 35, graduated from Pingjing University, an absolute top student.

Ikehashi Song has been promoting younger and highly educated cadres.

Only such cadres can accept reform more quickly.

After encouraging and admonishing as usual, Ikehashisong urged: "When you are in Panyi County, you should also pay attention to some news about auspicious and exotic plants, and report to me immediately if you have clues."

"Yes, Lord Overseer." Scholars and officials all called Ikehashimatsu a regular official position.

As such.

All the governors and officials in the whole province were entrusted by him to secretly search for auspicious beasts and special plants for him.

He was still not satisfied, so he asked his master Huang Facheng to give an order in Sihan Tianshi's mansion—to report to the higher authorities immediately if he finds auspicious beasts and strange plants during the mission of governing evil spirits.

He also personally talked with Shao Mingxiu, and also issued similar orders in Kuangshan Fairy Cave.

Afterwards, they visited the Longevity Palace, the Longevity Chongzhen Palace, and the Yuxu Gexian Temple one by one to pray for blessings. The three holy places, the headmasters, received them warmly and quickly issued instructions.

He even brought a lot of spiritual grass and spiritual flowers directly from his own mansion and dedicated them to Chi Qiaosong.

These spirit grasses and spirit flowers are all elixir medicines listed in the Pharmacopoeia. Unfortunately, there is no spirit root that Ikehashi Song wants, so he politely rejects these flowers and plants.

If he really wanted the panacea, he could buy it directly.

He is unwilling to collect elixir by accepting bribes or extorting bribes.

"General Chi, there is a plant in my house. It's very strange. I don't know if it is the type that General Chi needs." Luo Xiaojing, the head teacher of Yuxu Gexian Temple, said suddenly.

"Oh, show me."

"Please."

Led by Luo Xiaojing, Chi Qiaosong saw a half-dead apricot tree.

"General Chi, please look at this apricot tree. It has been growing in the mansion for 50 years. Not only is it not tall, the branches and leaves are always withered and yellow, and it has never produced apricots. Because it was planted by the previous master teacher, please forgive me. Few agronomy experts came to check it, and even transplanted it in several places, but they couldn't adjust it well."

There is no need for Luo Xiaojing to introduce the special features of this apricot tree. As soon as Ikehashi Songfu approached, he could feel the familiar aura emanating from this apricot tree-it is undoubtedly a spiritual root!

"I want this apricot tree, can your mansion give it up?" Chi Qiaosong said directly.

"Although it was planted by the former master teacher himself, it is the good luck of this apricot tree to be favored by General Chi. I will have someone pick it up and send it to General Chi's mansion."

"Thank you, just dig it out, I have room to accommodate it." Ikehashimatsu said lightly.

Immediately, he personally supervised several Taoists and dug out the apricot tree together with the root soil.

Chi Qiaosong didn't mind revealing more secrets anymore, and after dismissing the passers-by, he put the spiritual root apricot tree into the purple gourd in front of Luo Xiaojing.

Seeing this, Luo Xiaojing was startled for a moment, then regained his composure, and did not ask where Xingshu had gone.

From the time when Qingqiu Yao of Qingyu Mansion carried the magic weapon of space, Chi Qiaosong knew that this kind of storage magic weapon was not unique to his own red gourd.

Even a vixen family can have it, and those great celestial masters and grand masters must have it, and there are definitely not a few magic weapons for storage.

Declining Luo Xiaojing's dinner invitation, Chi Qiaosong drove the golden light directly to leave the Yuxu Gexian Temple. He thought it would be a waste of time, but he did not expect to be rewarded.

"Now I just wait for the governors, officials, and holy places of various places to present me with auspicious beasts and spiritual roots!" He disappeared in the air and returned satisfied.

In the past, when I was weak, I could only fight alone and search for these spiritual roots.

Now that you have the strength of your subordinates, you naturally need to make good use of them.

"It's a pity that ordinary people can't recognize the breath of spiritual roots, and most spiritual roots look no different from ordinary plants." He shook his head.

If they all recognize the aura of the spiritual root, it would have been scoured by the predecessors long ago, so how could it be left for him to discover.

Even spiritual roots like colorful gourd vines and yin-gathering money trees have their own mysteries, and I am afraid they will be hidden if they are discovered by those who are interested.

after all.

There were seven gourds of different colors hanging from a vine, and the fool knew something was wrong.

"I'm going to miss Bold Five and Little Cowardly Five again. They found me two outer spiritual roots, the colorful gourd vine and the phoenix sycamore tree. So far, they are still the most important spiritual roots!"

Thinking of this, Chi Qiaosong decided to send a batch of fresh fruits and vegetables to the two Wudaomei after returning to Songyuan Village.

Now Bold Five and Little Cowardly Five are used to living in Songyuan Village, because Songyuan Village itself is small and can't run around, so they usually stay in the other courtyard of Chifu.

"Jiji." Bold Five is getting fatter and fatter, but he still hasn't found a wife.

And Xiao Guiwu and his daughter-in-law gave birth to another cub. Now that the cub is raised, he is released to live in Songyuan Village, and rarely returns to the other courtyard of Chifu.

"When I find some more real dragon remains, Pine Garden Village will expand even more, and your living will be more comfortable."

Ikehashisong visited Wudaomei for a while, then walked into the 16-acre field, and exchanged Saburo Kinoshita: "Plant this apricot tree in the No. [-]-acre field."

"Yes, boss."

Wait until Saburo Kinoshita has planted the apricot tree.

Chi Qiaosong stared at the twenty acres of Shangtian, and the information of the spiritual root was clear at a glance, and there was a Fenglei bitter apricot tree among them.

"It turns out that this is a wind and thunder bitter apricot tree." Chi Qiaosong continued to stare at the apricot tree until the apricot tree gave feedback, "The spiritual root of the ancient apricot tree was stimulated to sprout by a ray of mana from a mage, and it can give birth to fairy apricots." , belonging to rare and exotic fruits."

For the time being, the wind and thunder bitter apricot tree has not blossomed and bear fruit, and the fairy apricot does not know when it will be conceived.

However, when it was transplanted into the upper field, the original withered yellow and short Fenglei bitter apricot tree became visibly energetic with the naked eye. It was obvious that it had been in the stage of malnutrition and acclimatization before.

"Recover quickly, blossom and bear fruit quickly, I can't wait to taste the taste of fairy apricot!"
