I am the Dragon King of the Well

Chapter 439: The best at beating sap
The jade Ruyi in Qiu Ping's hand hit the woman's forehead with lightning speed and calmness.

The woman only felt her body shake heavily, and then the divine light around her body dissipated, and a sharp pain emerged, making her almost faint.

"You guys, it's okay if you don't work hard, but you want to kill people and silence them when I catch you?"

Qiu Ping raised his eyebrows at the woman and said angrily.

"Are you really going to fight us to the death?"

The woman was so angry that colorful clouds rose up around her, and at the same time she flew out the edict in her hand.

That edict was the decree of Lord Yuan, which contained the power to suppress everything.

"What? Are you from Doube?"

Qiu Ping was surprised. He seemed to have heard of this name. It seemed to be one of the eight tribes in the heaven, as famous as the Lei tribe.

Because he was familiar with the Lei Department, he had heard of this organization by the way.

"No one in any department is working well today."

The little loach laughed ferociously and waved Yu Ruyi away heavily.

"Boom."

As soon as the woman made a move, Yu Ruyi suddenly appeared behind her and was hit hard on the back of her head.

The woman was hit on the head by Ruyi twice in a row, her soul almost collapsed, and she fainted immediately.

And Qiu Ping grabbed the Yuanjun's decree in his hand and threw it directly into the scale space.

In line with the principle of thieves not taking advantage, since these are not our own, there is no psychological burden.

His eyes darkly swept over everyone, and all the Star Lords were shocked. This man had such powerful magical powers that even Fairy Baguio was no match for him.

Fear arose in everyone's hearts, they each took a look and prepared to leave.

But the next moment, I saw the figure of this little loach flash, and in an instant, its figure was everywhere in the world.

He evolved into dozens of figures, and at the same time, he raised Yu Ruyi high and smashed it into the back of everyone's heads.

Before everyone could remember to resist, they felt severe pain in their heads and their thoughts went blank.

The figures of the loaches flickered, and then they fell one after another.After three or four times, all the star kings fell unconscious and fell to the ground, and the divine light around them dimmed.

Qiu Ping clapped his hands and put Yu Ruyi on his shoulders.

This thing is really easy to use, and it just makes up for my lack of some methods that only hurt but don't kill.

He looked at the people who fell on the ground, happily ran forward, and took off all the clothes and magic weapons of many Xingjun, even the colorful rosy clothes on the woman's body were no exception, only filling the space between his scales. Gotta be full.

Unfortunately, happy times are always short-lived.

After plundering everyone, Qiu Ping's time for time travel was up, and his figure disappeared from the original place, returning to the dark [Lingzhu Division] again.

He continued to live a life of stamping day after day. Thousands of people had to pass in front of him every day. He had to stamp mechanically, but he was full of curses in his heart.

This kind of unskilled work can be completely automated in the form of an assembly line. Isn't this treating people as consumables?

I was a consumable before I traveled through time. I am still a consumable after I traveled through time. So I didn’t travel for nothing.

Fortunately, he gained a lot this time, which gave him some comfort.

While stamping, he could gain some happiness by taking stock of his harvest.

Most of the treasures are nothing to him.Although these star kings are all heavenly gods, the little loaches have also been eaten and seen, and they once looted the Dragon Palace treasure house in the East China Sea.

Although these Xingjun's treasures look good, they are nothing more than that in his eyes.

Only the scroll he snatched from the woman interested him.

It's not that this scroll has such tyrannical power, the main thing is... he can't open it.

Moreover, this object cannot be destroyed. Even if space cutting is used, nothing can be done about it.

This actually inspired Little Loach's competitive spirit, and he spent most of his boring stamping days competing with this scroll.

Unknowingly, this time passed quietly.

On this day, Qiu Ping was studying how to crack the scroll while stamping it.

But suddenly I heard some movement outside.

The priest who was slightly fat and always had a smile on his face pushed away the mist and walked over.

"Uncle Qiu He, today is the end of your watch on politics. You can follow me out."

The priest looked at Qiu Ping and said.

After Qiu Ping heard this, he threw away the [Spiritual Root Treasure Seal]. He finally got through it. Whoever is willing to do this job will do it in the future. Anyway, I won't do it.

He didn't want to stay in such a shabby place for a moment.

The priest wanted to call Qiu Ping, but the little loach swayed and disappeared into the distance.

"Uncle Qiu He is too impatient. King Minngling asked me to show him the list of immortal books. Why did he disappear all of a sudden?"

The priest shook his head slightly, put away the book in his hand, put his hands behind his back, and slowly went to find Qiu Ping.

……

"Hahahahaha."

At a restaurant in the Imperial Capital, Qiu Ping picked up a plate, poured a plate of shredded chicken into his mouth, chewed it twice, and swallowed it together with the bones and meat.

Jing Xinghuai and Xu Chengqing, who were sitting in front of him, were stunned when they saw his appearance, and felt their throats tighten.

Even if the soldiers and samurai are very good at eating, they are not so exaggerated.

"You don't know that, just a few days after I came back, my leader put me in solitary confinement and was only released in the morning."

Qiu Ping poured another plate of braised pork into his mouth, chewed it twice and swallowed it all.

It's not that he's hungry, he's just driven crazy by the dark life. This move is like revenge consumption. Only by eating delicacies in the world can he feel the beauty of life.

"I would also like to thank the gods for your help this time. If not for this, our water transportation would not be so smooth."

Jing Xinghuai was dazzled when he heard that, and he was very emotional in his heart, and he was even more grateful to Qiu Ping.

He felt in his heart that he was the one dragging down Qiu Ping.

Qiu Ping's suspension this time is probably his punishment for interfering in human affairs.

"By the way, after you rectified the water transportation last time, you should have been promoted to a noble position when you came back."

Qiu Ping ate several more dishes in succession, then wiped his mouth and spoke to Jing Xinghuai. "When I do things, I only think about being loyal to the emperor and fulfilling my responsibilities for the people. It is not my hope to be promoted to an official position, and..."

"After I came back, I took the initiative to resign. Now I am no more than Bai Ding."

Jing Xinghuai smiled and said calmly.

"Huh? Why?"

Qiu Ping suddenly felt a little more sympathetic to Jing Xinghuai. I am afraid that the officialdom of this world is darker than the officialdom of Shinto.

The most punishment King Ming Ling could give him was to be grounded and beaten, but it did not go as far as depriving him of his official position.

"It's not because the emperor has a weak character that he doesn't dare to continue to investigate further in the face of opposition from the government and the opposition. And Mr. Jing, who is leading the water transportation inspection this time, has to face criticism from the government and the opposition."

"In desperation, Mr. Jing had no choice but to resign."

Xu Chengqing was still a little angry. He was not a member of the imperial court, so he was naturally dissatisfied with the imperial court's decision.

"What? This stupid emperor is really unreasonable!"

"Isn't this about crossing the river to dismantle, going up to the house to take out the ladder, unloading the mill and killing the donkey, or scolding the cook when we are full? We have worked hard for a month to clear the obstacles for him, but he turned around and stabbed him in the back, but It’s really interesting.”

Qiu Ping was extremely angry. He saw his own fate from what happened to Jing Xinghuai.

This world is so dark, we honest people have always been bullied.

"Chengqing, don't talk nonsense."

"This time it's just retreat in order to advance. The emperor has the same difficulties as the emperor, and if I am always above the court, I will only be a target all the time, and my every move will be watched by interested people."

"And I am indeed tired. After some time, I want to go to Qingzhou to open an academy, teach and educate people, cultivate one's moral character, and live a happy life."

Jing Xinghuai was very open-minded.

It is enough for a person to accomplish one achievement in his life.

He ordered more than [-] navy troops to conduct a thorough investigation of water transportation and wipe out the country's silverfish from top to bottom. This could at least ensure the cleanliness of water transportation for decades.

Even if I die today, everything will be worth it.

"You want to go to Qingzhou to teach. That's just right. I also serve as the literary god of Changning County. If you go to Changning County, I will directly ask someone to allocate a piece of land for you, and then get you some money, and you can provide compulsory education. Wouldn’t it be beautiful to start a national literacy campaign in primary school?”

After Qiu Ping was full, he started chewing the fairy fruit again.

Compared with the food in the world, the fairy fruits he looted from the East China Sea were filled with strong vitality and spiritual essence, but a whiff of the smell gave Jing Xinghuai and Xu Chengqing a strong desire.

Fortunately, they were both determined people and suppressed this desire immediately.

"Holy God, what is... compulsory education?"

Jing Xinghuai immediately changed the topic and talked to Qiu Ping.

Although the deity looked cynical, in fact he had a deep rift in his heart. Jing Xinghuai felt that he could learn many new ideas from him.

"Compulsory education means that children and teenagers of school age must receive compulsory education from the government. If anyone blocks it, it is illegal. Let's not talk about it. Everyone must be able to write their own name and be able to add and subtract within one hundred. , be able to read some simple documents."

Qiu Ping also grew up in the village. These days, unless they are from wealthy families, most children do not have access to textbooks.

Generally, after they reach the age of twelve or thirteen, they have to go to work and farm.

As he gets older, the family will try to find a way to marry him a wife and then have children, and this will continue from generation to generation.

What Qiu Ping said about compulsory education is not that it hopes to bring much change to everyone's lives. In this era of low productivity, it is always unrealistic.

But some basic enlightenment and some simple knowledge may give people more choices, which is more meaningful than living in confusion.

After listening to Qiu Ping's narration, Jing Xinghuai felt a storm in his heart.

He felt that this idea was too bold, but it hit the scholar's G-spot.

If anyone can promote this, even if it is only carried out in one county, one prefecture, one state, it will be an immeasurable merit. I am afraid that after death, he will be able to enter the Confucian Temple and enjoy the worship and worship of countless descendants.

The highest pursuit of those who study is nothing more than this.

However, the difficulty of this matter is definitely not small.

There are three difficulties in this: First, the imperial court has limited control over the people, which is limited to the county level and then to the village level. If you want to collect all the people of the right age, you may need to conduct a new household registration census.

Of course, this is the least difficult one.Even if some people fail to enter the school, it will not affect anything. There are many people of the right age in every place.

Both are resistance from local gentry.Their families were well-off and had the ability to study. Naturally, they did not want more people to compete with them for places in the imperial examinations after studying.

As for this third point, it is also the most difficult point.

No money!

For a county, there may be hundreds or even thousands of newborns every year. If so many students have to be recruited every year, it will be a huge drain on local finances.

From a profit perspective, this matter is completely useless and will take a long time to achieve results. I am afraid that no local officials are willing to do such a thing.

With this in mind, Jing Xinghuai told Qiu Ping his doubts.

"What kind of thing is this? You can stop cooperating with the government and cooperate with the Chenghuang Temples in various places."

“The Chenghuang Temple in every place has several courtyards and dozens of houses, so it is perfect for use as a school.”

Qiu Ping devoured the fairy fruit in one gulp, then took out a trace of the fairy spirit lingering on the half peach core and put it into Jing Xinghuai and his wife's wine glasses.

The two of them drank it smoothly, and instantly felt a strong fragrance rising from their bodies. A ray of warm Qi rushed towards their heads. They felt that their brains were clear and their bodies were filled with endless energy.

Especially Xu Chengqing, whose body was no longer perfect after Qiu Ping cut off an arm last time.

But at this moment, I feel that my whole body is normal, and all the places that were originally stagnant have been filled up, and I feel pleasantly surprised.

"Cooperate with the City God's Temple? This is an idea, but I don't know if the City God's gentlemen can agree."

After all, this matter involves gods, and Jing Xinghuai has no confidence in his heart.

"It's just a trivial matter. When you arrive in Changning County... no, when you arrive in Qingzhou, tell me your name. You know Wei Linggong, he is also an acquaintance of mine."

Qiu Ping had a habit of bragging, and anyone who had dealt with him would be treated like a good buddy by him.

"In that case, I'll ask the gods to help me a lot when I go to Qingzhou." Jing Xinghuai believed Qiu Ping's words and immediately laughed, but his heart seemed to be filled with endless fighting spirit.

Since there is no way to go to the court, he will go to the people, so that everyone in the world can read books and bathe in the teachings of sages.

Qiu Ping didn't know how much change his small act of bragging at the dinner table would bring to the world, nor how much merit he had hidden behind it.

Just when he was about to change his bragging, he suddenly saw the sky sinking, and the rolling clouds covered and rolled over the entire imperial capital.

"what's going on?"
