Chapter 894
In the past half a month, Ning Lefan also took a look at the drastic changes in the Eighteen Ancient City. Although the situation was very good, he always felt a little awkward and even annoyed.
As he said, Chu Xingyun spent a lot of time and energy to finally take charge of the Eighteen Ancient City. Now, he gives all the real estate, business, and even power of the Eighteen Ancient City to the people.
This made him unable to understand it, and the more he thought about it, the more he became more angry.
Chu Xingyun slowly opened his eyes at this time. When he saw Ning Lefan's entangled appearance, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He asked with a smile: "The bloody battle ended, and the Eighteen Ancient City was ruled by various major families. Among them, the four major leaders were headed. These people were not dead yet, and they did not say that they would transfer power. When will I control the Eighteen Ancient City?"
"This..." A simple rhetorical question made Ning Lefan speechless. He suddenly remembered that these eighteen ancient cities were still under the control of various major families, and the four major masters did not surrender and compromise, and still wanted to resist Chu Xingyun and Wanjian Pavilion.
The reason why these people did not resist was that they were still in Fengliu, and they knew nothing about the dramatic changes in the outside world, and they didn't know that Chu Xingyun was moving their power and resources to allocate them to the people.
"Besides, you said that I gave up the Eighteen Ancient City to the people, and this is a bit strange. When did I do this?" Chu Xingyun asked again. As he spoke, he slowly stood up and walked to Ning Lefan.
"Don't give up? What does the conversation between Master and Xia Qingcheng mean?" Ning Lefan was confused. For more than half a month, 80% of the real estate and commerce in the 18 Ancient City had been divided into the people. Isn't this because I want to give up, but what is it?
"I want to give it to you for free, but the reform moves I proposed are for sale, and I can give it to you for a fee." Chu Xingyun's tone increased, making Ning Lefan's eyes flash, as if he had some understanding.
"I have said that every real estate in the Eighteen Ancient City belongs to Wanjian Pavilion, but the people can purchase courtyards and have the right to live through spirit stones and resources. There is no fundamental contradiction between these two."
Chu Xingyun knew that Ning Lefan was not good at managing things, so he patiently pointed out: "There are not many spirit stones and resources, but the vast area of the Eighteen Ancient City is immeasurable. Now, 80% of the real estate of the Eighteen Ancient City has been stolen. The resources that Wanjian Pavilion can obtain are huge. If not, how could we acquire such huge resources in a short period of time to resist the invasion of the Shenxiao Palace and the Daluo Kinmen?"
Ning Lefan was not stupid. On the contrary, he was very smart and immediately heard the pros and cons of it, but he still frowned and felt something was wrong.
"If they use this method to collect resources from the people, once they understand this, will it cause even more intense chaos?" Ning Lefan expressed his concerns.
"Under the rule of the four major families, not to mention the common people, even some families live like duckweed and can only rely on their families. Now, they can buy real estate, live and work in peace, and no longer be afraid all day long. They naturally know how to judge which of the two is better."
"This all comes from reform. If they break out of chaos and resist me, it means that they will lose everything they have now and return to their unbearable life."
"What's more, the financial and material resources they have paid for reform will become the things of the four major families and cannot be taken back. From this point of view, all the people will never resist reform and Wanjian Pavilion, and will even swear to support them to the death and never leave them."
Explanation words were spoken from Chu Xingyun's mouth and passed to Ning Lefan's eardrums. He quickly resolved his doubts, and he couldn't help but nodded repeatedly, making a sudden sound.
"What about the businesses in the Eighteen Ancient City? These should be considered as giving up?" Ning Lefan asked again.
"It's fine, but it doesn't count." Chu Xingyun smiled faintly. The answer he said made Ning Lefan puzzled. He subconsciously listened to it and his mind was highly concentrated.
Chu Xingyun grabbed the teapot, took a sip, and slowly replied: "The business of the Eighteen Ancient City is so huge. Relying on the current Wanjian Pavilion, it is impossible to manage it, and it will only cause it to decline. Even if we hire merchants on a large scale, those people will have grudges and will never give their all their hearts and will not do their best."
"Even if they are willing to pay with all their hearts, this salary is not a small amount, and it will inevitably affect the accumulation of resources and will be unable to resist the Daluo Kinmen and the Shenxiao Palace."
Hearing this, Ning Lefan nodded undeniably.
The invasion of Daluo Kinmen and Shenxiao Palace is like a huge rock, oppressing everyone's mind. Under this premise, Wanjian Pavilion not only cannot use resources, but also has to plunder resources with all its strength in order to fight against each other.
"Now, all the businesses in the Eighteen Ancient City have been divided. Those people who have obtained shops and trade routes will devote their efforts to create endless wealth resources for the Eighteen Ancient City. We do not need to pay a slight amount of these, but we can still get taxes and accumulate them continuously." Chu Xingyun smiled and said with a smile on his lips. This is the core of the reform.
The people of the Eighteen Ancient City want to obtain real estate and business, and even more want to gain power and change their destiny. The reforms issued by Chu Xingyun can just make them obtain these.
At the same time, Wanjian Pavilion can also obtain huge resources from the hands of the people through reforms, so as to resist the Daluo Kinmen and the Shenxiao Palace and fight with all their might.
Both sides benefit each other, and neither of them takes advantage of each other. The only difference is that Chu Xingyun is dominant, while the people are vassals, and they must always support Chu Xingyun and remain committed to it.
"No wonder Master wanted to make the Lu Zheng enact a new criminal law. The reason was to obtain taxes and obtain more wealth resources to fight against the Daluo Kinmen and the Shenxiao Palace, and protect the Eighteen Ancient City and the Eighteen Dynasty." Ning Lefan finally understood everything.
As he spoke, his eyes suddenly condensed and he said to Chu Xingyun: "In the Eighteen Ancient City, there are many medicinal fields, minerals and forestry. These huge businesses, the master did not give them away, but sealed the gate with a large formation and belonged to Wanjian Pavilion. You still firmly grasp these precious strategic resources."
"Strategic resources are of great significance. As for those commercial resources, Wanjiange is unable to operate, so it can be divided into them to obtain taxes, enrich resources, and power matters, the same is true!"
Chu Xingyun nodded with a smile. He had seen through everything long ago, and then he thought about reform measures to completely change the pattern of the Eighteen Ancient City.
"I am worthy of being a master, and I am really in a mysterious way. I will help Xia Qingcheng and Lu Xing and others. I must get more resources in the shortest time!" Ning Lefan's doubts were answered, and he couldn't help laughing loudly. With a flash, he ran away from the courtyard.
Looking at Ning Lefan's departure, Chu Xingyun couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. He breathed a sigh of relief, raised his eyes, staring at the blue sky deep.
"Reclaiming resources and fighting against Daluo Kinmen and Shenxiao Palace is only an immediate task. The ultimate goal is to set foot on Jiuhan Palace and rescue Liuxiang safely."
"After all, I have no time anymore, so I can only come up with this solution..."
Chu Xingyun changed his confident attitude just now and slowly exhaled a helpless voice from his mouth. The dark eyes that looked at the blue sky also became sad, but mixed with strong perseverance!
Chapter 896 Chaos erupted
Chu Xingyun didn't care about power, money, and resources. Everything he racked his brains to save Shui Liuxiang safely, that's all.
Moreover, this feeling became stronger and stronger, and almost always filled his mind.
Whenever he practices, Chu Xingyun can feel in the dark that the fragrance of water flowing in the Jiuhan Palace is suffering endless pain and torture, and something strange happens.
This strangeness gave Chu Xingyun a sense of fear, as if the fragrance of water flowed away from him gradually, and the bonds that were closely linked together began to become blurred.
Chu Xingyun realized that this might be the disaster that Shui Liuxiang was suffering. He had to deal with the Daluo Kinmen and Shenxiao Palace as soon as possible in the shortest time and set foot on the Jiuhan Palace in one fell swoop.
In addition, Chu Xingyun sometimes feels the existence of an ice cave, which is very vague but very real.
This ice cave exists in the frost of thousands of years, dark and bottomless, with a mysterious aura. Even if a trace of spiritual power goes deeper, it will be lost in it and will never leave.
It was such a terrifying place that Chu Xingyun could hear a blurry female voice. Moreover, a trace of vitality was still permeated in the deserted ice cave, as if a new life was about to be born.
Whenever Chu Xingyun wanted to explore more deeply, this feeling would disappear immediately, and even the entire ice cave disappeared without a trace.
"As far as I know, there are thousands of frost lands in the entire True Spirit Continent, and there are very few. The most huge one is the endless ice domain where Jiuhan Palace is located. Could it be that the ice cave is in Jiuhan Palace?"
"Strange, why did I feel the existence of this mysterious ice cave, the vague female voice, and a faint trace of vitality, what does it have to do with me?"
Chu Xingyun was very confused. No one could answer these questions about him. Only by stepping into Jiuhan Palace can he be easily solved. Therefore, the thoughts in his heart became stronger and stronger and were always filled with deep inside.
"Master!"
Just as Chu Xingyun was in deep thought, a call came over. The speaker was Lu Ling. He saw him coming from outside the courtyard with a very fast expression.
"What's the matter?" Chu Xingyun came to his senses and returned to his original appearance in just a moment.
"Report to Master, on the road of Holy Star City, there are many senior figures from various major families gathered. They either verbally or beat them, causing the order of Holy Star City to be chaotic for a while, and even a few people died suddenly on the spot." Lu Ling came to Chu Xingyun and explained everything concisely.
Chu Xingyun narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard what Lu Ling said. He knew that with the implementation of reform measures, senior figures from major families would be unable to see them and would try his best to stop them.
However, the other party's actions were too ostentatious. Not only did they gather directly on the road, but they also fought, causing several people to die on the spot and did not take him seriously at all.
"The Eighteen Ancient City has just become calm, and there will be no chaos anymore. You can retreat first. I will contact Wu Jingxue and Senior Lin, and prepare to let the Jingtian Army launch a strong charge and suppress the riot in one fell swoop." Chu Xingyun snorted coldly. He was already ready, just waiting for an order.
After saying that, he was about to look for Lin Tianchong and Wu Jingxue, but Lu Ling hurriedly reached out and stopped him, whispering: "Master, the chaos this time is different."
"Um?"
Chu Xingyun was slightly stunned, not very familiar with Lu Ling's implication.
Lu Ling smiled bitterly and explained: "Those families did not interfere with the reform. They were divided into two factions, one was dressed in bright clothes, while the other was strongly equipped with military uniforms. The two factions had more than a hundred people. Once they were in contact, they fought each other, making the space extremely chaotic."
"The family members are divided into two factions, yelling and fighting each other?" Chu Xingyun was stunned at first, but now he was even more stunned. The family members actually rebelled and wanted to kill each other. This is really strange.
Lu Ling nodded like pounding garlic and continued, "Also, these two factions are also very interesting. One said to support the four masters, while the other was a madman and a beast. When he shouted, he kept saying other words, but the situation was too chaotic and it was difficult for me to hear it clearly."
"So that's it!" After hearing this, Chu Xingyun laughed suddenly. This scene made Lu Ling full of curiosity and couldn't help but ask: "Master, do you know the whole story?"
"I don't know, but I can guess." Chu Xingyun laughed and was in a very good mood: "The two factions that were caught in internal strife, one was dressed brightly and supported the four great masters, while the other was in a strong military uniform, shouting that the four great masters were madmen and resisted with all their strength. Obviously, the source of these two factions came from the distribution of wealth and power in the reform."
"The former supports the four masters, most of whom are corrupt people of the family, and only seeks comfort and enjoyment; while the latter resists the four masters, most of whom are outside the family, working diligently but unable to gain power. In the face of reform measures, these two will of course fight and even cause killing."
A family has a very strict structure, especially this ancient family that has existed for thousands of years, which is even more harsh. Ordinary people do not gain any power at all and can only become the grassroots of the family tower.
Chu Xingyun knew this very well, and he also guessed that there would be internal strife between major families, but he never expected that this internal strife would come so quickly and so strongly.
"Master, what should we do now?" Seeing Chu Xingyun laughing and silent, Lu Ling couldn't help but ask: "Would you like to call Senior Lin and Senior Wu, and with the power of the Three Thousand Jingtian Army, you will be extremely relaxed."
"It's not necessary." Chu Xingyun shrugged, sat down and said proudly: "Since the two factions are fighting each other, let them fight to the death, and there is no need to use the Three Thousand Jingtian Army. However, you must always pay attention to the changes in the situation. Once something goes wrong, tell the Ministry of Justice immediately to comply with the criminal law for trial."
"These two sects are from various major families. What they say is the most credible, and there are also some cunning things from the four major leaders and senior officials of various major families. This is of great significance to our reform and implementation!" Chu Xingyun added, slowly opening his palm to signal Lu Ling to deal with the matter, while he closed his eyes and entered a state of cultivation.
While Chu Xingyun was practicing, the chaos in the Holy Star City became increasingly intense. These two factions were completely opposite. Every word they said suddenly spread throughout the Holy Star City, and even the surrounding cities could be heard frequently.
When these public opinions were completely spread, Lu Xing finally came with a law enforcement team, collected all the evidence, interrogated every family member, and suppressed the riot.
But even so, the public opinion about the four elders became stronger and stronger, and soon everyone saw their ugly faces clearly. In addition to feeling disgusted, they also supported Chu Xingyun's reform proposal and were convinced.
However, all these matters could not be spread to Fengliuju, and even more so to the ears of the four masters and the senior figures of the family.
