Yu Yan thought of a question, "Are your armor, military seals, and swords related to the rebels in Daming Mountain?"
Jiang Yao nodded: "That's it. The things I picked up may belong to their military leader. To say that this Xuanfeng Army is really powerful, with more than 30,000 people, they defeated a hundred thousand Geng Army."
Yu Kuan looked serious, "Don't ever wear your armor again, and don't take out that military seal again. Especially the military seal, it is the most important thing for the remnants of the Xuanfeng Army. If they know that the military seal is in your hands,
…”
"There is also the ring in the Xuanfeng Army. There must be something very important in it."
"I'm not stupid, and of course I won't mention it to anyone again," Jiang Yao said, "I won't use the armor and swords of the Xuanfeng Army unless absolutely necessary."
But there were other thoughts running through his mind.
If I am strong enough and hold this military-seal armor, can I take the top spot in Daming Mountain? Or even go one step further...
Jiang Yao felt that her whimsical thoughts were too beautiful.
"Go back to Mingshan tomorrow!"
Jiang Yao didn't want to stay in Qinghuang City any longer.
…
The frost is cold, the wind is cold, and winter has arrived in a blink of an eye.
It has been half a year since Jiang Yao came to Mingshan to become the lord.
In the past six months, he has been vigorous and resolute in Mingshan and has done many great things.
The ten county offices in the mortal world have all been set up and have begun to operate. The freshly appointed county magistrates, police officers, and Liufang Township Magistrates have begun to manage civil affairs and public security according to the "Mingshan Law" compiled by the lord himself.
The county magistrates have no experience in governing the people. In the past, they were mostly village elders who arbitrated matters in the countryside. When martial cultivators killed mortals, their role was to collect the bodies and bury them.
Then there was the worry that when paying the spiritual rice tax, unqualified quality would cause trouble, so he took the initiative to supervise the serfs to inspect.
Of course they were powerless to deal with the murders, thefts, rapes, fights and other things that were common among slaves, let alone water conservancy and irrigation.
This makes the average yield per mu only a few dozen kilograms. Although there are many fields, it is not easy to have enough food.
Now, they have the "Mingshan Law" and the Lord's order, and of course they have power.
After several months of bumping into each other, the first batch of officials finally figured out how to govern the herdsmen.
"Mingshan Law" written by Jiang Yao himself is actually very simple.
He only stipulated very simple contents, intending to simplify things first and then make them more complex.
For example, how to file a complaint and how the county magistrate accepts it. In terms of criminal law, it is very simple and crude, that is, murderer shall die, adulterer shall die, and thief shall pay tenfold...
"Mingshan Law" contains less than fifty articles of civil law plus criminal law. Including the responsibilities and regulations of various departments of the county government, there are only one or two hundred articles, and it can be completed in seven to eight thousand words.
The impact it can bring is huge. Less than three months after the promulgation of "Mingshan Law", the mortal society, which was originally chaotic and ecologically cruel, immediately began to improve.
The high incidence of "crime chaos" suddenly decreased sharply. Frequent incidents of armed fighting and clan fighting were also curbed.
If you dare to commit murder and commit adultery again, not only will the victim’s family take revenge, but the government will also take revenge! There will also be law from the lord!
Those who used to be unscrupulous and evil-doers based on their strength and large family members were all arrested and executed by the newly appointed police officers. They were used as examples to set an example to others and to establish prestige for the new government.
In addition, a yellow household registration book was issued to divide villages and register them in the county government. A 10% grain tax was levied as salary for officials.
Each county also set up a school to teach "The Analects of Confucius" as a reserve official candidate.
The Analects of Confucius is the first textbook and a holy book for educating mortals.
In order to harvest the power of his wishes, Jiang Yao secretly ordered to build his own temples in each county, named Jiang Gong Temple or Jiang Gong Temple, and guided the people to worship himself, the lord.
At the same time, Jiang Yao ordered martial cultivators not to go to the mortal land without permission. Otherwise, they would be considered as snooping on the lord's property and punished with spiritual jade. Anyone who dared to kill mortals and rob mortal women would be punished as "infringing on the lord's property" and their cultivation would be revoked and demoted to mortals.
.
As the "Mingshan Tongbao" copper coins began to circulate, the common people's habit of bartering began to reverse, and the common people accepted the copper coins immediately.
Ginger medicine has gone as far as possible within the possible scope.
Any further intensification will lead to a backlash from the martial arts cultivators under the rule.
The second major event was the establishment of Mingshan Jade Shop.
However, not many people made deposits. After a few months, there were only hundreds of thousands of spiritual jade in storage.
On the contrary, there are many people taking out loans. The jade shop’s jade is simply not enough for loans.
Jiang Yao was not in a hurry, he knew very well that this required a process of acceptance. By next year, he would still be sure to deposit millions of spiritual jade.
The third major event is, of course, recruiting family soldiers again.
The Lord's Mansion once again recruited a hundred soldiers and purchased all the horses and armor. The number of soldiers in the Lord's Mansion reached 200 horses. However, Jiang Yao's hundreds of thousands of windfalls were all used up.
The financial pressure on the Lord's Mansion suddenly became apparent.
Apart from these major events, there was no delay in practicing ginger medicine.
What he spent the most time on was practicing the soul attack combat skill "Gloomy Soul Knife" and the boxing skill "Nirvana Punch" given by Yu Yan.
These two combat skills are one of Yu Clan's top combat skills. They are divided into seven levels and are very difficult to practice.
Even if Jiang Yao has the soul power of Qinghun Realm, coupled with the perfect Dao foundation, he can cultivate to the second level in a few months.
But even if he only cultivated to the second level, he still had two more powerful methods.
In addition, Jiang Yao also worked hard on the three Wish Power Skills and the "brilliant" sword skill.
He had to practice for four hours every day, and he practiced diligently. The jade and elixirs he used to practice in just a few months were worth two thousand yuan.
People without money simply cannot afford to practice.
In addition to practicing, he studies the "Medicine Master Buddhist Canon" and "Taimu Art of War", and studies the poison domain and the art of war.
Jiang Yao also did not forget to teach his three direct disciples to practice, and asked his family members to guide the inner and outer disciples in practice. The practice method was based on the "Deng's Heart Sutra", and he was very willing to spread Deng Jiu's practice.
The three direct disciples have finished practicing the "Yun Shui Jue", and the next step is to open the nine spiritual acupoints.
According to the excellent qualifications of the three of them, it will take another two years to enter the realm of warriors and become martial arts cultivators.
…
Yu Kuan is four years old.
Her eyebrows grew longer and she looked even cuter and more beautiful. Everyone in the Lord's Mansion disliked this little lady.
Especially the three lord's personal disciples, for some reason, she was making them run around in circles, talking and shutting up.
"Little Master Uncle is only four years old and can guide us even before we start practicing. He is truly a man of heaven who knows himself without a teacher. Alas, if our understanding is one percent of that of Master Master, why worry about not being able to become masters.
"
The eldest disciple Jing Xian said.
"Uncle Master is born with the ability to practice. He is truly a god-like figure. When he grows up, he will be a top powerhouse."
Second disciple Lin An said this.
The third disciple, Lin Chan'er, had a different perspective. She said, "Master is only four years old, how come you are so beautiful? Fairies in the sky are just like this."
The three of them seemed to sincerely praise Yu Yan, and the meaning in their tone was that he was a prodigy among prodigies.
What a coincidence was that when the three disciples were talking about this, they were overheard by Jiang Yao who had finished practicing.
Jiang Yao was speechless.
Whose disciples are you? Are you still a junior master?
"Master." When the three disciples saw Jiang Yao, they immediately came up to greet him obediently.
After half a year, they have become closer to Jiang Yao, and they no longer have the same fear of the lord that ordinary slaves had before.
"Master, there is a distinguished guest in the residence, and Junior Master-Uncle agreed to let him in. The distinguished guest is a female cultivator, and she looks very similar to Master." The eldest disciple Jing Xian first reported, "Little Master-Uncle is here.
Receive her in the atrium living room."
Jiang Yao knew immediately that it must be Jiang Xiucheng.
How did she find this place?
Jiang Yao went to the atrium living room, and sure enough he saw two beauties, one big and one small. Yu Kan was holding Ajiu, and there was a woman drinking spiritual tea.
No one spoke.
The person who came was indeed Jiang Xiucheng.
"Your sister." Yu Kuan let go of Ah Jiu and pointed at Jiang Xiucheng.
Jiang Xiucheng raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Yao, his eyes were very calm.
"Your place is not bad." Jiang Xiucheng said lightly.
"Why are you here?" Jiang Yao asked right away.
They are obviously brothers and sisters by blood, but when they meet, there is no such atmosphere as brother and sister.
Jiang Xiucheng took out a picture and said, "Look at this first."
PS: There will be another update before eleven o'clock.
