Fang Zhou, I'm just a farmer, not Shennong!

"I do not know either."

"The Transformation Realm is the pinnacle of martial arts, and it is also a brand new beginning. It is not a specific level that can be described in words, but it can be recorded in secret books for people to refer to."

"The state of transformation is more like a feeling of self, a bodily instinct that cannot be described in words."

Lu Yuan could understand what Zhong Yue meant by this sentence.

In fact, he did not have high expectations at the beginning. If the state of transformation could really be described in words and written in books for people to learn, then there would be a lot of masters of the state of transformation in the world.

Speaking of this, Zhong Yue turned his head and glanced at Lu Yuan. Seeing that Lu Yuan did not show any expression, he continued speaking.

"Although I cannot describe the Transformation Realm in concrete words, I can give you a brief account of the changes that occur during that state."

Hearing what Zhongyue said, Lu Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Uncle Master, please speak."

"To sum it up in four words: harmony between man and nature."

"When I entered the realm of transformation, I felt not just myself, but the entire world. I felt like I had completely merged into this world. For me, martial arts no longer had any constraints, just like the highest realm of swordsmen, where the sword is more powerful without a sword. For them, they have long since broken away from fixed forms and fixed moves."

"Every gesture is a great move and a great supernatural power."

"I traveled all over Terra, across thousands of mountains and rivers, and saw countless people and events. I also communicated with many martial arts masters, exchanged ideas, and gained enlightenment. Only then did I set foot in this realm one day..."

There wasn't much Chongyue could say.

But he tried hard to find a way to explain it in more detail.

Lu Yuan listened to Zhong Yue's story in silence, thinking.

There is a state of enlightenment in martial arts, and there is also one in magic.

Don't stick to the moves, just be spontaneous and turn yourself into the world...

Lu Yuan pondered carefully.

Whether it's controlling 'water', 'fire', or 'wood', I've already reached a state where my body and nature are one, but why...

Lu Yuan couldn’t quite figure it out for the time being.

He had a hunch.

In the future, when he has figured all of this out, his strength will truly enter a new stage.

Seeing Lu Yuan lost in thought.

Zhong Yue did not bother to send Lu Yuan back to his residence, and then he went back.

Early the next morning.

After breakfast, Lu Yuan said goodbye to Zhongyue early, ending his half-month study journey in Yumen.

Although the time seems short, Lu Yuan actually gained a lot.

And everything you gain is applicable for life.

After saying goodbye to Master Zhongyue, Lu Yuan drove out of Yumen and embarked on a new journey.

This time.

Lu Yuan's destination was neither the Great Wasteland City nor the Dragon Gate, but...

The border of Da Yan.

..........

Da Yan border, Qingjiang City

If we talk about the border of Dayan, Longmen is the most border city of Dayan due to the special nature of Longmen and its autonomy.

This makes the relationship between Longmen and Dayan very special.

And put aside the dragon gate.

The most remote city in the entire Dayan is Qingjiang City.

This small town has always been synonymous with poverty.

However, a year ago, the city's original governor, who had been corrupt for many years, was transferred by an imperial decree, and then an organization called the Minliang Association arrived and took over the governor's job.

Qingjiang City, an originally impoverished city, has finally gotten better in the true sense.

After the Minliang Association moved in, they not only provided free rice porridge, but also created as many jobs as possible so that poor people could have a job. In addition to these, they also repaired infrastructure to make people's lives better as much as possible.

In just one year.

Life in Qingjiang City has undergone earth-shaking changes. At the same time, under the leadership of the mysterious vice president, the Minliang Association has developed towards the poor towns and villages around Qingjiang City.

at this time.

In the headquarters of the Civilian Grain Association in the center of Qingjiang City.

Lin Yuxia sat upright in the main seat, listening to the reports from the people below. Some of these people were brought by her from Longmen, and some were local residents or officials of Qingjiang City.

"Vice President Lin, this is the financial report for the fourth quarter of this year..."

"The fourth quarter financial report is somewhat..."

At this point, the cadre in charge of finance fell silent.

In fact, you don’t need to look at Lin Yuxia to know.

The fourth quarter financial report will definitely be extremely ugly.

According to the original plan, Lin Yuxia should have completed the investment promotion in the fourth quarter.

However, the envisioned plan was not completed.

There are not many places worth developing in the entire Qingjiang City, and the overall poverty level is too high, which leads to a vicious cycle.

Not only is there external capital coming in, but there is also capital from within Dayan.

In addition.

The bandit problem outside Qingjiang City is too serious.

A few days ago, 70% of the security bureau members sent by Lin Yuxia to support other villages and towns were attacked by bandits, and not only the surrounding villages, but even Qingjiang City was attacked.

This group of gangsters couldn't even do anything to the local government.

They come quickly and go quickly, just like cockroaches hiding in the corner. Even if you kill one nest, there will be another nest that you can never kill.

Fortunately, Minliang has a steady supply of money and food from its headquarters in Longmen, otherwise the funding chain in Qingjiang Town would have been broken long ago.

Funding is a small matter, but the loss of personnel made Lin Yuxia very distressed. This also made many senior executives on the Longmen side feel more or less uncomfortable.

"Put them all here..."

Lin Yuxia sighed and said.

The rest of the cadres quietly put them down and left.

This year, the results seem to be good, but in fact, only the members of the Civilian Grain Association know the difficulties involved.

Many of those who had originally followed Lu Yuan realized for the first time how difficult it was.

This is just one city.

However, Lu Yuan was able to complete the unification of Longmen in a short period of time.

visible...

It's simple not because the matter is simple, but because Lu Yuan is there, so others feel it's simple.

Just when Lin Yuxia was feeling a little worried, there was a knock on her office door again.

"Vice President Lin, there is someone at the entrance of the Minliang Association who wants to see you."

"see me?"

Lin Yuxia was stunned, but didn't think much about it.

For so long, all the people who were living in hardship would come to Lin Yuxia for help, and she had long been accustomed to it.

Volume 1: Chapter 173 I will negotiate in my own way

Qingjiang City, along with the surrounding towns, villages and farmland, were all gifted to Lu Yuan by the Grand Tutor.

only.

Since Lu Yuan was already far away in Ursus when the imperial edict was issued, he naturally had no way of seeing the overall situation of Qingjiang City with his naked eyes, so Lu Yuan was not very clear about the specific current situation in Qingjiang City.

Now that Lu Yuan had left Yumen and driven to Qingjiang City overnight, he finally saw the overall situation of Qingjiang City with his own eyes.

how to say...

Poor and destitute.

Banditry was rampant.

As the most border city of Dayan, even though the overall control of the Dayan court has surpassed that of most national governments, its control over border cities is still slightly weak.

In addition, bandits from all directions would habitually run to the border when avoiding government soldiers, so that they could attack or defend, resulting in more and more bandits on the border.

Each of them occupies a mountain and becomes the king.

His favorite thing to do on weekdays is to rob villages and even towns and cities.

Guang Guang and Lu Yuan encountered two waves of horse bandits on the way.

Of course, these two waves of horse bandits were naturally planted in the ground by Lu Yuan to serve as nutrients for the trees.

"It seems that it will be quite difficult for the local people's grain industry to gain a firm foothold..."

While driving, Lu Yuan immediately saw the core of the problem in this area.

Poverty is just one thing.

If it is just pure poverty, it can be almost completely changed with the injection of large amounts of funds and changes in residents' mindsets.

But the core problem of poverty in this area is not banditry...

There are many bandit problems.

This is the real problem.

Moreover, this bandit problem is like a cockroach nest hiding in a corner. It can be put to an end by sweeping the nest with thundering means.

Once we wipe out one nest of bandits here, another will naturally come back, endlessly. As long as the core remains unchanged, these bandit problems will not be eliminated.

When Lu Yuan slowly drove into Qingjiang City and looked at the surrounding environment, he saw staff from the Civilian Grain Association distributing porridge, and all the residents were queuing up in an orderly manner. It seemed harmonious and the process seemed standardized.

However, Lu Yuan felt a deep sense of helplessness.

This feeling of helplessness is like the despair of a terminally ill person who can only rely on the most brutal methods to survive, and there is no complete cure.

Lu Yuan did not immediately go to the local Minliang Association headquarters to look for Lin Yuxia, but instead took a look at the current situation of the entire city before going to the Minliang Association headquarters.

...........

"see me?"

"Any requests?"

"Did not say"

The member of the Minliang Association shook his head: "He just said he wanted to see you."

In the past, ordinary people could not see the governor of Qingjiang City whenever they wanted, but Lin Yuxia issued this new regulation in order to change the living conditions of the residents.

Any demands can be raised in front of the Civilian Food Association headquarters.

"Let him come."

"Yes!"

After the members of the Minliang Association left, Lin Yuxia continued to study the financial report full of red, with a deep frown on her face.

dong dong dong...

The regular knocking sound rang in Lin Yuxia's ears.

"Please come in..."

The door opened, and the member of the Minliang Association led the person who wanted to see him with a request into the office.
