Beast Taming and Immortal Cultivation: Starting from Mountain Chasing

Chen Changqing looked at the gold leaves in the box with some surprise and uncertainty.

Fifty thousand copper coins is not a lot for Chen Changqing at present.

But he felt a bit overwhelmed by the fact that someone had given him so much for no reason.

Although I knew that these kinds of things would definitely happen once I became the village head.

But this is the first time in his life that someone has given him so much money for no reason.

the first time.

I'm always a little nervous.

As Chen Changqing stepped out of the reception room, he saw Wang Yuyan.

Wang Yuyan asked curiously, "Husband, what did that person want with you?"

After thinking for a moment, Chen Changqing told Wang Yuyan everything about Zhang Fugui sending him the gifts.

After speaking, Chen Changqing looked at Wang Yuyan and asked, "Can you help me analyze whether I should take this gold leaf?"

Wang Yuyan smiled slightly and said gently, "Whether or not you can take it depends on the specific circumstances. After you go to Sanhe Town tomorrow, first investigate whether Zhang Fugui has committed any illegal or criminal acts, or bullied the people."

If he commits a very serious offense, then of course the money cannot be accepted.

"That's right." Chen Changqing nodded.

Zhao Qingtian had told him before that he had become the village head.

One must manage the people of a town well, and never oppress them or allow them to be bullied by local bullies.

We must give the people a way to make a living and seek justice for them.

It's not just for the people, but because our interests align.

Instead, it is about giving people a way to survive and taking charge of their lives.

Only then can the people live and work well.

This will create a continuous stream of wealth for the Wang Clan of Immortals.

Wang Yuyan nodded: "But if he's only doing this to curry favor with you and keep his position, whether you accept him or not depends on whether you like him as a person."

If you think this person is capable and suits your taste, you can accept the money.

But if you hate this person, dislike this person, and want to remove them from their position as deputy village head and find a new deputy village head to handle your daily chores, then you can't accept them.

Chen Changqing understood.

Once we arrive in Sanhe Town, we'll conduct a thorough investigation.

If the other party violates the law and oppresses the people, then they will not be let off lightly.

If the other party just wants to keep their current position.

That might give the other party a chance.

after all.

He went to Sanhe Town to be the village head, but he only wanted to get the money and didn't want to deal with the trivial matters.

He definitely needs someone to do things for him.

Who does it, not what it means to do.

Wang Yuyan looked at Chen Changqing and said, "Do you know why the position of village head in the thirty-eight towns of Dayang County is so sought after?"

Chen Changqing said, "Because the income is higher."

Wang Yuyan said, "Yes, the village head helps the three great immortal clans manage the thirty-eight towns and collect taxes from the residents of the towns."

You can receive a portion of the tax revenue.

In addition to collecting taxes, it also includes handling neighborhood disputes among town residents and even criminal cases.

If a member of the public commits a crime, you can decide their fate with just one sentence.

For example, if someone steals, you can simply let them go without punishment.

They could even imprison him and beat him half to death.

So once you become the village head, you'll find that everyone in the town will try to please you and flatter you.

Especially those merchants, who will give you a lot of offerings every year.

They might even give you their own daughter to be your concubine.

In short, those with money give money, and those with connections give connections.

The village head was the local tyrant of these thirty-eight towns.

Chen Changqing thought about it, and it was indeed true.

At that time in Qingshi Town, Wang Chengwu was a local tyrant.

In addition to his eight wives, he also had fifteen concubines.

Wang Yuyan looked at Chen Changqing and said softly, "Changqing, after you arrive in Sanhe Town, there will definitely be many, many women offering themselves to you."

Many merchants and members of the public will recommend their daughters to you, refusing any bride price and even providing a large dowry.

To be honest, Wang Yuyan didn't want her grandfather to ask Chen Changqing for the position of village head.

Although the income is already very high, Chen Changqing will earn even more when he becomes a second-grade talisman master.

Once Chen Changqing becomes the village head, he will definitely have many women around him.

She knew that it was normal for men to have multiple wives and concubines.

Chen Changqing is a womanizer and it's impossible for him to marry only her.

Moreover, Chen Changqing already had a concubine before he married her.

She could accept it even if Chen Changqing married ten or eight women.

But if there's too much, she won't be able to handle it.

She also mentioned it to her grandfather, and he told her what happened.

Chen Changqing will become a talisman master in the future, and he will definitely have no shortage of women.

The more she gives to Chen Changqing, the better Chen Changqing will treat her in the future if he has any conscience.

If you have no conscience, then you can only blame yourself for your bad luck.

My grandfather also said that marriage is a gamble.

This made her uneasy, fearing that Chen Changqing would have no conscience in the future.

Grandpa also said that Chen Changqing should not be jealous of other women.

Do your job well and treat Chen Changqing sincerely.

If Chen Changqing had even a shred of conscience, he wouldn't abandon her.

Grandpa also said that he had observed that Chen Changqing treated his sister extremely well.

They should have a conscience.

Upon hearing this, Chen Changqing's eyes brightened slightly.

It wasn't for women, but for money.

He now has Wang Yuyan and Fang Rongrong at home, and he wouldn't even look at the ordinary women outside.

All he wants is to make money and train hard.

Wang Yuyan looked at Chen Changqing and said softly, "Changqing, I know you would never marry only me, but can you promise me you won't just marry any random person?"

If the woman you find is too ugly, the thought of having to serve you alongside such an ugly woman makes me feel a bit uncomfortable.

Chen Changqing clicked his tongue in amazement; the women of this world were truly tolerant.

In his past life, if he glanced at a pretty young woman on the street even twice, his wife would give him a severe beating.

Chen Changqing patted Wang Yuyan's head: "Don't worry about me. Right now, I just want to focus on my cultivation. I have you and Rongrong at home. I don't care about those ordinary women outside."

......

The next morning.

Chen Changqing took the appointment document for the town head of Sanhe Town and rode Xiao Hei to Sanhe Town.

Sanhe Town is located in the west of Dayang County, just over two kilometers away from the west gate of Dayang County.

Very close.

Sanhe Town is nestled against mountains and beside water, with flat terrain and surrounded by dense forests and winding rivers. It boasts beautiful scenery and a pleasant climate.

The town is small, but due to its advantageous geographical location, it has become a commercial hub for several nearby villages, and it is usually bustling with people coming and going.

The village head's office is located in the center of Sanhe Town, facing south, backed by a small hill, and facing the town's main street.

The mansion is surrounded by a tall blue stone wall, which is covered with vines, giving it an ancient and solemn appearance.

The main gate is a heavy mahogany gate with copper nails inlaid on it. A plaque hangs above the gate with the three large characters "Lizhengfu" written in vigorous strokes, exuding an extraordinary aura.

As soon as Chen Changqing arrived in Sanhe Town, he could see the outline of the village head's office in the distance.

The mansion's walls stood tall, and the bluestone tiles gleamed faintly in the sunlight, giving it a simple yet dignified appearance.

Eight guards, including Zhang Fugui, stood at the entrance.

Six men and two women.

Dressed in matching black outfits, with a sword at his waist, he had a solemn expression.

Behind each group of guards stood their respective contracted spirit beasts.

Deputy village head Zhang Fugui told them that early this morning...

The new village head, Chen Changqing, will come to take up his post.

Before dawn, everyone began to pack up.

After washing up and getting ready, they rushed to the village head's office as soon as possible.

No one dared to be late, for fear of leaving a bad impression and getting fired.

The position of town patrolman earns more than a thousand copper coins a month, which is definitely considered a high income in the town.

Moreover, the town's patrolmen held a high position and were highly respected in the town.

The position of town patrolman is very important to them.

The guards had their contracted spirit beasts waiting outside Sanhe Town, ready to report to Chen Changqing as soon as they saw him.

Sure enough, as soon as they spotted Chen Changqing entering Sanhe Town, a group of guards immediately stood in neat rows at the gate to welcome him.

Upon seeing Chen Changqing approach, the eight men simultaneously bowed and greeted him in unison, "Welcome, Village Head!"

The voices were very clear and loud.

Chen Changqing nodded slightly, somewhat surprised by the scene, but he didn't show it on his face, and simply said, "Thank you all for your hard work."

Zhang Fugui stepped out from the crowd and respectfully said, "Lord Village Head, please come in."
