"Let's talk about your current situation first," Lu Yu said.
These star masters quickly revealed the situation of their respective stars without any reservations.
They knew very well that Lu Yu was giving them a chance.
Whether you can gain a foothold under Lu Yu in the future depends on it. If you don't seize this opportunity well, it will be impossible to turn around in the future no matter what.
Lu Yu listened very carefully and asked about the situation of almost every star.
The situation was more difficult than he thought.
All forty-one stars in the Imperial Capital Territory fell into disaster.
In many places, the land is thousands of miles away, and even the areas where monsters and beasts gather can no longer be maintained, and they come over to compete with the human race for territory.
Under the rule of various places, large-scale disasters have occurred, and large areas of human gathering areas have become deserted.
This is a natural disaster.
In the face of natural disasters, both monks and mortals are quite vulnerable.
No matter how you pray for rain, there is still no rain falling from the sky. Some monks go to various places to cast water-based spells, but they often drink poison to quench their thirst. In the end, the magic power is exhausted and only a small part of the farmland is irrigated.
Some places are severely affected by floods, and some are even covered by thousands of miles of ice. Extremely bad conditions are everywhere, just like a drought.
Granaries everywhere have already bottomed out.
When Lu Yu led the Qianlong Army to arrive here, he sent many people to various places to buy food.
But even many chambers of commerce don't have much food in stock, and everything is a desolate scene.
"Zhao Yuanyan, Zhao Yuanyan, you are driving me to a dead end." Lu Yu murmured.
Lu Yu knew very well that if he hadn't fought quickly, the huge Hidden Dragon Army would have been devoured by hunger.
Even the people above the forty-one stars will be buried with them.
"The source of the disaster lies in the disaster of the statues. From today on, no statues of Tang Dynasty gods are allowed in the Imperial Capital Territory! I will send people to assist, and you will search everywhere to ensure that these statues are not left!" Lu Yu said solemnly.
He had already noticed it when he first arrived at Ding'an Star.
The tall statue of Li Jing seems to be glorious and sacred, but in fact it is extracting the spirituality of the stars and using this spirituality to nourish itself.
These idols are parasites on this land.
This was a strategy that the Tang Dynasty had planned long ago. They wanted to use these statues as a medium to knock out the bones of all the stars and suck out the last trace of their value.
The Tang Dynasty had no intention of operating here for a long time.
"We will obey!" All Star Lords agreed.
They knew very well that the number of Tang Dynasty statues had long been overrun.
Although the Tang-Yu war was brutal, most of the Tang army's attacks were directed toward military strongholds, and they were unable to interfere in most places.
Even under the deliberate arrangement of the Tang Dynasty, the people began to worship the gods of the Tang Dynasty crazily.
These statues of Tang Dynasty gods are springing up like bamboo shoots after a rain, and they appear in endlessly.
If it is not dealt with early, sooner or later it will become an irreversible trend.
"In addition, all agricultural taxes should be abolished to allow agriculture to recover as soon as possible." Lu Yu said calmly.
A Star Lord complimented: "General Lu loves the people like his son and lives with them. It is really a blessing for the people. It is also a good idea to suspend the tax collection and let them relax for a while."
"Didn't you hear me?"
Lu Yu suddenly looked at him coldly: "What I'm talking about is, abolish the agricultural tax!"
"From today onwards, agricultural taxes will be abolished in all territories under the Imperial Capital's 41 Star Mansion! And it will be permanently abolished, not suspended. Do you understand?"
