Republic of China: My great warlord, many children, many blessings.

Upon hearing this, Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai were immediately intrigued and looked at Uncle Jiu with anticipation.

This is practically raising you until you're buried, what's there to think about?

Running a mortuary won't make you a penny.

Not only were the two apprentices excited, but even Uncle Nine was tempted.

Everyone has selfish motives.

Shen Hao's condition can not only eliminate demons and uphold the righteous path, but also defend the Heavenly Way.

You can still make money, and your retirement is also secure.

This life is simply heavenly.

Uncle Nine loves it.

But he was still a little embarrassed: "Isn't this treatment too good for Governor Shen?"

223. Attend the Governor's Meeting

Shen Hao laughed and said, "Uncle Jiu, don't worry, you deserve this treatment."

Catching demons and monsters, while upholding the natural order, is essentially about eliminating social harm.

Maintain social order.

As a regional administrator, it is only natural for me to help you solve your problems.

However, your authority only extends to Guangdong and Guizhou provinces. I have no jurisdiction over other areas outside of those two provinces.”

Uncle Nine nodded and said, "Thank you, Governor Shen. We understand. I'm willing to join the Paranormal Investigation Bureau."

Shen Hao laughed and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Jiu, you won't regret it. From now on, when you're catching ghosts and zombies, you won't be fighting alone anymore, but will have a powerful backer supporting you."

Uncle Nine was also feeling quite excited.

There are many powerful zombies on ordinary days, but you rarely encounter them.

But even one encounter could cost him half his life, because he had to do everything by himself.

Without help, the two apprentices are useless.

Besides, running a mortuary doesn't earn much money on a regular basis; most of it is spent on equipment.

Not wanting to cheat ordinary people, Uncle Nine has been penniless for many years, even less so than Master Four Eyes.

Now that Shen Hao is paying him such a high salary, 100 silver dollars a month, even Uncle Jiu can't believe it. He can't believe there's such a good thing in the world.

I wouldn't even dream of it.

Most importantly, unlike those evil Taoist priests who risk their lives for others, they are dedicated to eliminating demons and protecting the righteous path.

Uncle Jiu agreed, and Shen Hao thought it was a good idea.

After all, the Paranormal Investigation Bureau was something Shen Hao had planned beforehand.

This world has zombies and ghosts, so they will naturally cause trouble for the human world. If we find someone to organize all these powerful Taoist priests, wouldn't the efficiency of doing things be much faster?

There will be no need to fight alone anymore, and there will be far fewer casualties.

Another reason Shen Hao was also considering his own safety was...

After all, there are good Taoist priests in this world, and there are bad ones as well.

What if someone hires this kind of Taoist priest to harm Shen Hao? Wouldn't he fall victim to their scheme?

Therefore, it is best to strike first and nip this danger in the bud.

After things are settled here.

Shen Hao had just returned to the governor's mansion when he received a telegram from Yuan Shikai.

On October 5, Yuan Shikai sent a telegram to the governors and provincial governors of all provinces, requesting them to draft a proposal on electing a constitution and changing the election system, and that all governors come to the capital to attend the National Assembly.

In addition, the new head of the village, Jin Quan, was officially announced.

After reading this report, Shen Hao understood that Yuan Shikai wanted to change the constitution.

If the current constitution is not changed, his power as president will be limited.

Everyone knew that Yuan Shikai's regime relied on the support of the Beiyang Army.

However, China at this time was no longer the Qing Empire, and military force alone was not enough to win over the people.

With everyone gradually accepting the democratic republican system, if Yuan Shikai wanted to truly seize power, he had to go through the process of popular elections.

The biggest obstacle for him was the Provisional Constitution.

The purpose of convening officials at the governor-general level to attend the parliament is self-evident.

It must be a change to the election law.

Shen Hao didn't care about this.

Anyway, no matter how much trouble Yuan Shikai causes, he won't live for more than a few years.

In the end, it will all be nothing but a pipe dream.

Shen Hao wondered what benefits he could gain from this trip.

The women were very supportive of Shen Hao's trip to the capital to attend the governor's meeting.

Bai Xiuzhu and Jin Ruizhi were overjoyed; they had been away from home for so long and were already missing it.

So, they also went to the capital.

Shen Hao did not object to this.

So he called all the women over.

"Is there anyone else who wants to return to the capital?"

Upon hearing this, all the women shook their heads.

Tao Yingying, Hu Xueli, Ruigege, Xiaofuzi and others, although they all met in Beijing, frankly speaking, there was no one in Beijing they cared about.

Bao Shuang was a refugee who fled to the capital from another place, so she wouldn't have any lingering attachments.

Leng Qingqiu's mother also came from Guangdong to take care of the pregnant Leng Qingqiu.

Therefore, I will not go back.

Yuan Shuzhen and Yuan Fuzhen also shook their heads. Yuan Fuzhen was also pregnant and did not want to leave.

Seeing the women's reactions, Shen Hao smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then forget it. I'll take Xiuzhu and Ruizhi back to the capital and bring you gifts."

"Thank you, sir."

The women laughed.

"Alright, since we all have some free time today, let's sit down and have a meal together."

"Yes, Master."

At the dinner table, all the women's eyes were on Shen Hao, which puzzled him.

He subconsciously scratched his face and asked, "Is there something on my face?"

The women shook their heads and remained silent.

"So what are you looking at?"

The women opened their mouths, but hesitated to speak.

Hu Xueli smiled and said, "Master, it's like this, they all know about the Youth-Preserving Pill, and they all want it desperately."

The women all nodded, their eyes fixed intently on Shen Hao.

With such miraculous effects, how could they not want the Youth-Preserving Pill?

They were too embarrassed to accept such an expensive item.

Shen Hao said, "Everyone definitely has a Youth-Preserving Pill, but you're all still young, so it would be a waste to take it now. Everyone will have one after they turn 18."

"Thank you, sir."

The women were all beaming with joy, they were overjoyed.

Although I knew about the Youth Preservation Pill and that Shen Hao would give it to me, I could only feel at ease after Shen Hao personally guaranteed it.

Shen Hao said, "However, this pill is extremely miraculous and very rare. You mustn't spread this around, understand?"

"Understood, sir."

The two sisters, Duanmu Qingyu and Duanmu Qingrou, exchanged a glance and understood each other perfectly.

They really wanted to ask for one now, because they wanted to give it to their mother, Duanmu Mingyue.

Their mothers have worked hard for them for most of their lives, and they want their mothers to stay with them forever.

Now, Duanmu Mingyue is 32 years old, and her peak beauty period has passed. She needs this kind of elixir.

However, they dared not ask Shen Hao for such a precious Youth-Preserving Pill without his permission.

They are only 15 years old now, so they can only have this elixir after they turn 18.
