Chapter 1018: Want to save Dongfang Bubai

"If I had known that Dongfang Bubai was such a slut, I should have worn a green shirt or a white shirt when going out!"

Su Mingzhe doesn't have many requirements for dressing up.

Under normal circumstances, as long as it's not ugly, it's fine.

After all, my appearance is very durable and I don’t need clothes to set it off.

The women around him knew that Su Mingzhe didn't care much about this convenience, so when they usually arranged clothes for him, they would follow the court regulations as much as possible.

The Duke of Zhen Guo is of the highest grade, and his clothes are of a very crimson color.

Crimson is dark red.

Deep red and purple are somewhat close.

Therefore, the clothes in Su Mingzhe's wardrobe, even regular clothes, are mostly dark red and purple.

Today, Su Mingzhe happened to be wearing purple uniform.

The regular clothes that originally looked luxurious and elegant were defeated by Dongfang Bubai's natural protagonist aura.

Sure enough, the halo of the protagonist is the most hateful!

"It's my fault too. I'm used to keeping a low profile. How could I have imagined that Dongfang Bubai would wear something as high-profile as Da Hongpao!"

Although he felt relieved, Su Mingzhe's attacks became faster and faster.

Dongfang Bubai was still worried about himself, but accidentally killed Su Mingzhe.

As a result, almost in the blink of an eye, the two men shifted their offensive and defensive positions.

Just now, Dongfang Bubai was attacking around Su Mingzhe, but now Su Mingzhe is attacking Dongfang Bubai's key point with his moves.

Everyone in the stands was dumbfounded.

Just now, everyone saw Dongfang Bubai looking like a ghost, and they already wanted to see her as a 'god of war'.

Now, Dongfang Bubai is retreating step by step under Su Mingzhe's attack, and no longer has the mighty and domineering look it had just now.

"Accepted!"

Su Mingzhe suddenly stopped his move and took a few steps back.

When Dongfang Bubai saw Su Mingzhe suddenly retreat, he was still surprised as to how he had lost.

Suddenly a gust of breeze blew, and a strand of black hair slipped from his temples to his chest, and then slowly fell to the ground.

"What a fast sword!"

I didn't see the trace of this sword clearly at all.

Since you can cut off your own hair, then cutting off your own head is not a problem.

Dongfang Bubai thought about this clearly and simply put away his sword, openly admitting that he was slightly inferior to Su Mingzhe.

Everyone in the stands was in an uproar.

Not many people could understand the competition between the two just now.

Only Fang Zheng, Chongxu, Zuo Lengchan, and a few people with profound skills tried their best to see clearly.

However, no one could see clearly how Su Mingzhe's last sword cut off Dongfang Bubai's hair.

Since you can't see clearly, you can't prevent it.

This is a very simple and easy-to-understand truth.

"Amitabha!"

Fang Zheng no longer remembers how many times he recited the Buddha's name today.

"Master, let everything take its course."

Chongxu, the Taoist priest, had a clear understanding of Fang Zheng. He smiled and whispered to his old friend, then stood up and walked towards Su Mingzhe with other spectators to congratulate him.

In today's battle, Su Mingzhe will replace Dongfang Bubai and become the new number one in the world.

And it is well deserved, there is no doubt about it.

If someone wants to deal with Su Mingzhe again, they will definitely give up the use of force.

The opposition to his regency from both the government and the public will also be much smaller.

Su Mingzhe invited everyone present to get together after returning to the capital.

Everyone did not dare to refuse and agreed one after another.

Dongfang Bubai also came over at this time, expressing his willingness to admit defeat and personally delivered the bet.

Although the seven beauties were not happy, they still came to Su Mingzhe obediently.

Su Mingzhe looked left and then again, smiling from ear to ear:

"The Eastern leader is a true believer."

"If Master Dongfang has no important matters, please come to the Prince Consort's Mansion later to discuss it."

"King Zhenhai cannot confer the title of Dongfang Cult Master. However, if Dongfang Cult Master does not dislike it, I am willing to request an edict to make Dongfang Cult Master the leader of Japan!"

"Forget it!"

Dongfang Bubai has the ambition to dominate the Central Plains, but he has no interest in becoming the king of a group of monkeys.

"Master Dongfang, think about it again."

In fact, Su Mingzhe also admires Dongfang Bubai.

Of course, his appreciation was only for Dongfang Bubai's character and did not involve other aspects.

Dongfang Bubai in the movie is powerful and domineering, not at all like the sissy character in the TV series.

Just before his eyes, he saw that Yabo Pi, who was nearly sixty years old, had already ascended the throne in Jianzhou and proclaimed himself emperor, and was given the title of "Destiny".

Su Mingzhe was ready to send someone to kill him after Boarskin came up with the "seven hates" statement.

And Dongfang Bubai is a candidate that Su Mingzhe is very optimistic about.

After a banquet.

The leaders of the two gangs of the Ten Factions left Jinling City one after another.

The Invincible Dongfang is also gone.

Su Mingzhe took seven beauties back to the Prince Consort's Mansion and became grooms seven times in one night.

I have to admire Dongfang Bubai, he has really good vision.

Each of the seven beauties is unparalleled in beauty.

Especially Xue Qianxun, with her black silk and white gauze and a pair of beautiful legs that are slender, well-proportioned and delicate, she has a bit of Nie Xiaoqian's charm.

He just has a somewhat strong personality.

Afterwards, I coaxed her for a long time before she gave up her intention to die.

In a blink of an eye.

More than a month has passed.

The results of the competition on the Dragon Boat Festival also spread all over the country.

There was less and less opposition to Su Mingzhe inside and outside the court.

Just then.

The navy who went to sea from Tianjin Wei finally returned from Shijian Yinshan with five million taels of silver.

Instead of returning to Tianjin Wei, these marines followed the ocean current and entered the Yangtze River from Songjiang Prefecture, and finally moved 3 million taels of silver ingots ashore at Jinling Prefecture Wharf.

You know, the entire Ming Dynasty was not very wealthy.

After Emperor Wanli went through the reforms of the powerful Prime Minister Zhang Juzheng, his annual income was only fifteen million taels of silver.

Now, within half a year of going out, the navy has brought back three million taels of silver.

Within a year, almost 10 million taels, or even more, can be shipped back.

This is the proper ‘God of Wealth’.

The news spreads.

The Donglin Party, which once opposed the establishment of a maritime ban, instantly became silent.

In the face of Chi Guoguo's interests, all voices will fall silent.

The Eunuchs and the Blackstones were so excited that they couldn't sleep.

However, the three parties did not have time to compete for the jurisdiction of Iwami Ginzan.

Su Mingzhe dropped a big piece of news.

Starting next year, the Ming Dynasty will abolish the head tax (Dingkou tax).

Not only did the head tax disappear, but the land tax also began to be abolished in disguise.

Su Mingzhe announced that after the land taxes are paid, they will all be reserved for local purposes and no longer need to be turned over to the national treasury.

In other words, it is no longer the emperor and the court who have the final say on how much land tax farmers pay for farming, but the county magistrates and gentry in various places.

As soon as the news came out, the court was in an uproar, the scholars were in an uproar, and the whole world was in an uproar.

No one can understand it.

This order is completely inconsistent with the policy of "strengthening the trunk and weakening the branches" that has been implemented since the establishment of the feudal dynasty.

Su Mingzhe didn't care whether these scholars could understand what he meant.

Anyway, he did it to promote this national policy.

Directly order the local Jinyiwei to go to all villages in the countryside to promote the campaign throughout the year.

As the news spread, people in remote areas still had little reaction.

After all, they couldn't believe that the imperial court would be so kind to the people.

However, the people in the Jiangnan area were the first to explode.

You know, the capital of the Ming Dynasty in this world is in Jinling City.

The reading rate in the Jiangnan area exceeds 10%.

As soon as the imperial decree came out, the local people knew about it.

The local county magistrate couldn't hide it at all.

Since the imperial court no longer requires the common people to pay taxes, then the fields that were previously ‘affiliated’ under the names of Master Juren and Master Jinshi should be returned, right?

The local gentry and jinshi lords had the intention not to repay it.

After all, it’s hard to let go of good money!

In order to pay less land tax, these poor people attached the land to themselves, and they themselves were responsible for a lot of things.

Now, the imperial court has issued an order to get their fields back, and no one is willing to do so!

However, it is impossible for them not to pay it back.

After all, if they really lose their conscience and refuse to return their fields, even if these farmers have no evidence and cannot appeal, their reputation among the villagers will be ruined.

In ancient times, reputation could really be eaten.

Therefore, these candidates and scholars had to bear the pain and shed blood to return the fields that had originally been attached to them.
