    "You invited the leaders of the five factions?" At this time, Ban leader Liu led Lin Zixing in from the outside, and Ye Yi'an hurriedly stepped forward to greet them.  Before the greetings were finished, two more people walked in one after another outside.  Ye Yi'an had never met these two people before. After being introduced by Lin Zixing, he found out that they were the two stewards of Hongfeng Xiaozhu and Lanshan Jingshe respectively.  After everyone sat down, the sky was already at the top of the sky, and noon time had arrived.  Ye Yi'an withdrew his gaze from the window, poured cups of Xiangyang wine for the four of them, and then invited them to drink and start the banquet.  Although there was plenty of food and wine, everyone was not in the mood to enjoy the banquet. After hastily finishing the three drinks, Lin Zixing was the first to ask about the reason for today's invitation.  Ye Yi'an put down the wine bottle and smiled lightly and said: "You all must be aware of the recent chaos caused by the evil magicians in the city. Yesterday, I took the liberty to go to the properties of each sect in the city to invite the leaders of the five sects to meet in the city. It was for this reason  " Chen Fangzhuo and others' expressions froze, and they exchanged glances but no one spoke. Ye Yian continued to say: "I have been given the position of deputy capital chief by Mr. Fang for nothing, and I am responsible for the affairs of Jing'an in Xiangzhou City.  If you can't shirk it, you can only do it reluctantly. Today's meeting is in compliance with the wishes of Lord Zhou Yafang, asking each sect to send out capable disciples to go down the mountain to help the local Jing'an affairs." Sect disciples in the spiritual world are sent down the mountain to help the government.  Jingan place?  This is too incredible!  "Brother Ye, I'm not refuting your face. The fact is with the Danyuan Mirror here, what's the use of sending our disciples down the mountain?" "Guangyuan Temple has its own state government to negotiate with it. This is  "Brother Chen, there is no need to worry." At this time, the steward of Lanshan Jingshe, who had never spoken out before, smiled dryly and said, "Ye Dutou sent a letter to a certain person who will come immediately. Regardless of whether it is the state government or Dutou, I, Lanshan Jingshe,  Shedu Jin is right. But the world of spiritual practice and the human world are two different worlds. There is no reason for disciples in the world of spiritual practice to interfere in the affairs of local officials. Forgive me, Lanshan Jingshe cannot help with what Dutou said.  Busy." Hearing this, Ye Yi'an's face that had been smiling until now slowly darkened, "Although Lanshan Jingshe is established deep in the mountains, it is still under my jurisdiction in Xiangzhou.  It's really strange that the two levels of heaven between the chief steward and the chief steward were ignored. Ignoring the sudden change in the expression of the chief steward, Ye Yian shouted, "Here comes someone."  Seeing this, Steward Yin smiled instead of getting angry. The contempt in his smile was so obvious.  It¡¯s not scary but ridiculous to use official authority randomly without knowing the target clearly!  Under the table, Lin Zixing quietly kicked Ye Yi'an.  Ye Yi'an smiled at Lin Zixing, "Has it been verified that Laoma Cargo Station illegally hired refugees?" "The evidence is conclusive" Ye Yi'an slowly put down the tea cup in his hand, "Copy! Anyone who dares to arrest will be killed. The text is written in the state."  It governs six counties, and all merchants and trading houses related to Laoma Warehouse are sealed." There was a loud bang, and all the police officers rushed out.  The smile on Manager Yin¡¯s face could no longer be maintained.  Others don't know the details of Laoma Cargo Station, but the four people here know clearly that it is Bawangmen's property.  Searching Lao Ma's warehouse means completely cutting off Bawangmen's source of medicinal stones and its largest source of wealth.  Bawangmen is the only sect among the five sects that has not sent anyone to attend the meeting today.  Manager Yin¡¯s smile froze on his face. You could hear needles dropping in the Accord, and the atmosphere was suffocating.  Ye Yi'an stood up and refilled the bowls for the four people, and said lightly: "Everything in the world is the land of the king, and the shores of the land are the ministers of the king, and the practitioners are no exception. The five sects have established their foundations in the jurisdiction of Xiangzhou for many years.  The state government has not levied a millimeter or a millimeter of rent or taxes from each faction, nor has it imposed a single corvee. It can be said that it is more kind to each faction. Now when there is something happening in the local area, the state government urges you, but you are stingy.  "What's the point of this help?" "Compared with the harsh words when he ordered the inspection of Lao Ma Warehouse, Ye Yi'an's voice now was soft and calm, but the four of them listened very seriously, and the Yin Da steward who had just made a move to leave also sat down silently.  When he came down, the contemptuous smile on his face was wiped away.  In the Yage, Ye Yi'an's calm voice continued, "If you insist on refusing to help, let's not mention the issue of taxation, taxation and corvee collection for the time being. The state government will no longer tolerate the merchant trade of various factions in Xiangzhou.  Since you have betrayed the state government today, the state government cannot help but ask each faction to liquidate these merchants and trading houses and exit Xiangzhou within ten days. After ten days, if the state government really wants to clean up,  Everyone¡¯s faces look bad.¡± Manager Huang from Hongfeng Xiaozhu has a bad temper and can¡¯t stand anger.  There was a "pop" sound and he stood up, "Ye Yian, are you threatening us? Our Hongfeng Xiaozhu property in the city has always strictly abided by the "Datang Law"" Before he could finish his words, Ye Yian had already calmly said  ?After finishing the conversation, he said, "Guanshi Huang must threaten, so be it. I came here on Master Ma's order. I can tell you clearly that any sect that is unwilling to help the state government will never welcome them in Xiangya."  It is up to the state government to decide whether to abide by the "Laws of the Tang Dynasty" or not." At this point, Ye Yi'an has already made a decision!  Manager Huang stared at him with eyes flickering, and Ye Yian met his eyes without evading him at all.  The silent confrontation lasted for a long time. Finally, Manager Huang looked away, snorted angrily and sat back down again.  Seeing this, Ye Yian smiled lightly.  This result had been expected by him. Whether it was a shady manager or a yellow manager, he was just strong on the outside but weak on the inside.  If a spiritual sect wants to gain a foothold or even develop, it must have a stable source of medicinal stones and money. This is the foundation.  And this foundation must be rooted in the human world.  With this alone, Xiangzhou Prefectural Government has the capital to contain the cultivation sects within its borders.  Unless these practicing sects can really abandon Xiangzhou and go to other places to run their businesses, this is easier said than done.  Due to demand, all the merchants and trading houses run by cultivating sects are very similar in business, or at least have a direct relationship with medicinal stones. This will easily lead to competition.  There are different spiritual sects in different state capitals. How can these sects tolerate Hongfeng Xiaozhu and other foreign sects competing for food?  A strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. Unless the situation is at the end of its rope, running away is only a last resort.  What¡¯s more, across Shannan East Road, how many places are richer and more convenient for water and land transportation than Xiangzhou?  Silence returned to the Accord.  In the boundless silence, Huang Guanshi and others clearly and deeply realized for the first time that the practice sect that they had always been proud of was by no means as otherworldly as imagined.  The local government offices that they had despised in the past actually had power that they could not ignore.  At this moment, the words that Ye Yi'an just said came to mind again: The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's ministers.  Chewing these sixteen words carefully, Huang Guanshi and others felt that they had mixed feelings in their hearts that were difficult to describe.  In the silence, Chen Fangzhuo laughed and raised his wine bottle to Ye Yi'an for a drink. "Don't mention the state government or not. Since I have been promoted to the deputy capital head in charge of Jing'an, prefecture city, how can we have any friendship with you?"  I'm not going to help you. I'll make a decision and send ten disciples down to you for dispatch after returning to the mountain." Ye Yi'an stood up and bowed deeply to Chen Fangzhuo, "Tianji Valley is in urgent need of local difficulties. Brother Chen Yuntian is very righteous.  Yamen and I should keep it in mind. Mountains are high and rivers are long, and there will be rewards in the future." Chen Fangzhuo hurriedly left his seat and helped Ye Yi'an, "If you want someone, I will give it to you, but at this time we are both practitioners, and Ye Dutou is also  "You should understand that the human world is not conducive to practice, and it will be really inconvenient for these disciples to delay for a long time." Ye Yi'an took Chen Fangzhuo's hand and sat down together. He solemnly stated that after the first-level city returned to peace, he would immediately condemn these disciples to return to the mountain without any further delay.  It will delay their practice.  After saying this, he also smiled and nodded. Now is the time for the state government to employ people. What they want are elite soldiers and strong generals. It is not possible to make up for it with random tricks. The disciples who came down from Tianji Valley must be at least the spiritual elixir stage. Otherwise, Tianji Valley  How do you get it?  Tianji Valley is the strongest among the five factions. With Chen Fangzhuo¡¯s performance, Manager Yin and Manager Huang have nothing to say anymore.  Both of them pinched their noses and recognized the assignment of ten spiritual elixir stage disciples, and then left without wanting to stay any longer.  Ye Yian's face was full of joy and he sent the two of them downstairs respectfully. His attitude was completely different from that of just now.  He lowered his body so low that the depression in Yin and Huang's chests was finally relieved.
