Genshin Impact: The Sage's Disciple Doesn't Want Fame

Ji Ming put his hand down, took out an example from his pocket, and said in a casual manner, "Most of you are from farming backgrounds. You go to Liyue Harbor to work and support your families, but you have no place to stand in Liyue Harbor. I feel very sorry about this."

"It's not just regrettable, I even want to curse some of the officials in Liyue Harbor, fuck you."

Ji Ming's rude words caused an uproar. The immigrants couldn't understand sophisticated language, but they could understand this vulgar remark, and some of them immediately laughed.

The atmosphere relaxed a bit, but no one spoke.

"The lifeblood of farmers is the land. Farmers cannot live without the land. I have said before that if I ever come to power, I will distribute the land."

Because he had already activated the wind element, Ji Ming could hear that the immigrants' breathing had become much heavier.

"Who should we distribute the land to? Of course, we should distribute the land to the farmers. Guili County only has land now, so I have decided to distribute the land to you."

Hearing this, someone mustered up the courage to ask, "Sir, are you... telling the truth? It's not that I'm questioning you, it's just that I'm truly terrified of being deceived..."

Ji Ming looked at the person who spoke, pointed at him and said, "You choose the land first. Also, there will be no such thing as 'villains' in the territory of Guili County in the future."

"Ah! Thank you, sir! I thank you on behalf of my whole family!"

The man was terrified and hurriedly pressed his wife and children down to kneel, but halfway down he found that he could not kneel down.

The Eye of God at his waist trembled slightly, and Ji Ming said in a deep voice, "Get up, don't kneel!"

Someone else mustered their courage and asked, "Sir, will each of us be able to get the land?"

Ji Ming responded directly: "Thirty-two thousand people, divided into households, with larger households receiving more and smaller households receiving less. Each quarterly harvest, the government takes 20%, and you keep 80%. For the first three years, only grain will be collected, and taxes will be waived!"

There was a long silence, and then someone raised their hand and cheered enthusiastically, "Long live the Emperor!" Immediately afterwards, all eight thousand immigrants cheered.

For a time, shouts of "Long live the Emperor!" were heard everywhere.

Ji Ming reached down and waited until the scene was completely quiet. Then he waved his hand, and several Qianyan soldiers escorted several officials to the front of the stage.

“Some people outwardly comply with the Emperor’s decrees but inwardly defy them, and turn a blind eye to the orders of the Seven Stars. They use immigration as a pretext to amass wealth everywhere. You should all be very familiar with these people.”

Ji Ming's eyes were cold as he glanced at the indignant crowd and asked, "Do these people deserve to die?"

"Damn it! Even tearing him to pieces wouldn't be enough!"

"Lord Ji Ming, we beg you to do us justice!"

"My mother was driven to her death by them. They must die! Please, sir, do justice for us!"

Ji Ming waved his hand: "From now on, no one will stand up for you. You should stand up for yourselves. If you let them die, then they will not live today."

Then, Ji Ming gave a soft command, and the members of the Nine Gates beside him immediately took out the prepared nooses, ready to hang these corrupt and lawless people in front of the eight thousand immigrants.

Many people covered their children's eyes, while others let their children witness the whole thing, hoping their children would remember this day.

Liyue has produced a good official who speaks up for the people... no, Liyue has produced a good official who allows the people to make their own decisions.

"Long live Lord Ji Ming!"

Ji Ming smiled slightly: "The one who should be celebrated is not me, it's you all."

Chapter 169 Li Yue T1 Guilt Ji Ming (Total 4000)

"Have you grown wings?!"

In a remote wilderness far from Guili County, Ke Qing reached out and poked Ji Ming's face, questioning him angrily.

Executing officials in public without prior notice—this guy's really gotten too big for his britches. He just became the governor of Guili County and he dares to execute officials in Liyue Harbor. Will he dare to start a rebellion in a few months?

Ke Qing didn't dare to even think about it; she just kept lecturing Ji Ming, fearing that he might have some bad thoughts.

Ji Ming dared not disobey and muttered, "Tianquan Star knows about this matter. In a sense, I have already reported it."

Ke Qing paused in her poke at the cheek, then became even angrier: "Tianquan Star knows, so why don't I, Yuheng Star, know?!"

"You're jealous."

"I didn't!"

"Then why are you angry? I've already reported it, dear Lord Yuheng."

I'm so angry! We had intimate contact this morning, so we should be a couple. Why does this guy still like to bully her?

Having said his piece, Ji Ming put away his joking intentions and openly hugged the cat-shaped figure in front of him, gently kissing her forehead: "What do you say? Next time, for sure?"

Ke Qing suppressed her embarrassment, tiptoed, and returned the kiss, her words merciless: "No next time. By the way, are you planning to move to Guili County?"

Releasing Keqing, Ji Ming pondered for a moment: "I'll stay for a while. I'll start working today, and I'll return to Liyue Harbor in half a month."

Ke Qing was not satisfied and hinted, "Start working today, you little rascal. When did you become so diligent?"

As a workaholic, Ke Qing actually agreed with Ji Ming's idea that the prefect should stay in the yamen and work properly, especially now that the first batch of immigrants have arrived, he should take on the responsibilities of the prefect.

For some reason, upon hearing that Ji Ming was going to start work today, Ke Qing felt a surge of reluctance. This guy was too dull. They hadn't seen each other for two whole months, and he thought he could get rid of her with just a little treat this morning?

Reaching out and pinching the flesh on Ji Ming's waist, Ke Qing revealed a kind smile and repeated, "Starting work today?"

Ji Ming gasped. As the saying goes, a wise man doesn't fight a losing battle, so he immediately surrendered: "No, I misspoke. We'll start working again tomorrow."

Ke Qing was satisfied. After getting the answer she wanted, she changed from pinching to touching. Her gentle touch made Ji Ming sweat a little, fearing that the girl would pinch the soft flesh on his waist again.

"Since we're not working today, let's go shopping together?"

"Where are the streets in Guili County?"

Ke Qing stared at Ji Ming in silence, then playfully slapped him: "You're so unromantic. Everyone else knows to go out with their girlfriends."

Ji Ming, I hate that you're such a blockhead.

No, did she mean to say that she is Ji Ming's girlfriend?

Ke Qing stared intently at Ji Ming, her face tense. If he dared to deny their relationship, she would immediately draw her sword and teach this wicked man a lesson.

She'd already hugged and kissed him, and Ke Qing didn't care whether Ji Ming had other women in his heart. There was a high probability he did, with several in Liyue Harbor alone. She just hoped to firmly hold onto the top spot.

Walnut is nothing but a spoiled little girl who only knows how to show her cute little tiger teeth; she's not worth mentioning.

Despite being childhood sweethearts, Xiangling has made no progress with Bai, who has completely controlled her.

Gan Yu, a mere mortal, blushes when she hugs Ji Ming in front of outsiders. She's a blushing freak and truly pathetic.

Only Lady Keqing of Yuheng Star has the figure, can be arrogant whenever she wants, and gentleness is her nature. Now she can hug and kiss whenever she wants. Who on the Teyvat continent can rival her?

Based on those skills alone, Ji Ming would be completely captivated by her.

Sensing the definite killing intent, Ji Ming blinked, looked at Ke Qing who was clinging to his arm, and smiled, "Oh, where does Ke Qing want to go?"

Without hesitation, Ke Qing revealed the location she had been planning for a long time: "My home... well, I mean my temporary residence in Guili County."

Hey Chao, what are you saying, Keqing?

Ji Ming was caught in a mental storm. Could it be that Ke Qing was a predator, thinking about taking advantage of a younger woman on the very first day of their relationship? ...Ahem, twenty-seven is the prime of a woman's life, the most beautiful age. Ji Ming wouldn't mind being devoured by Ke Qing.

Seeing Ji Ming's constantly changing expressions, Ke Qing tilted her head, stood there thinking for a while, muttered what she had just said, and then blushed deeply.

"You...you...don't misunderstand me!"

Ke Qing's face was flushed, and steam was rising from her head. She gestured with her hands incessantly: "I just wanted to chat with you. I didn't mean to do anything unclean. That kind of thing is only for the wedding night. We're still a couple!"

Wow, what a self-inflicted wound! Ji Ming hadn't even said anything yet, and Ke Qing blurted it all out in one go. That's awesome.

Ji Ming's expression was interesting, but he didn't expose him: "Oh, I see. It seems I misunderstood Lord Yuheng Star."

Ke Qing closed her eyes and shouted, "Speak properly, you! Don't you dare bully me!"

Ji Ming blinked: "How did I bully you?"

"You're bullying me! You're my subordinate now, and subordinates aren't allowed to kiss their superiors!"

Ke Qing was furious, but the next second Ji Ming covered her mouth, and she could only make unwilling "mmm" sounds. However, she was only tough on the surface, and her body did not show any intention to resist.

This is what being proud and aloof is like. She used to have a tough mouth, but now her mouth is just as soft. Ji Ming is willing to give her a five-star rating.

Only when she felt dizzy did Ke Qing gently push Ji Ming away, her tone feigning ease: "Do you really like the feeling of kissing that much?"

"You don't like it?"

"Ahem, I like it (very quietly)"

"Louder, you can't hear me."

Ke Qing ignored him, turned her head to look at the bushes beside her, and muttered, "He really is bullying me."

Ji Ming chuckled: "I'll let you get back at me later. Let's go home first."

What a thick skin! But it's better to be thick-skinned. If Ji Ming were thin-skinned, who knows when he would be able to give away his first kiss.

Ke Qing reached out her hand, which Ji Ming naturally took, and they slowly walked towards Guili County, saying, "Ah... Ah Ming, you womanizer."

Having been shot by an arrow for no apparent reason, Ji Ming was full of questions: "My dear Comrade Ke Qing, what makes you say that?"

Rolling her eyes with a charming expression, Ke Qing wasn't angry at all: "I'm talking about Xiang Ling and the others. You can't just abandon them, can you? Let me make it clear beforehand, I'm very angry, you womanizing scoundrel!"

Ji Ming remained silent and began to act like an expert.

Seeing that Ji Ming remained silent, Ke Qing's gaze grew increasingly dangerous, and her other hand slowly moved towards his waist.

Ji Ming trembled slightly, and said in a serious tone, "I will take responsibility."

Ke Qing's eyes widened: "Huh?!"

Hey kitty, you're breathing on me again!
