Chapter 181 He will become the public enemy of the martial arts!
Feng Ji looked at Yin Zhu and others who looked ashen and said sarcastically:
"Do you think that Senior Zhuang Xian was deliberately put into the Jun's Mansion by your people?"
"That's a big mistake. Senior Zhuang Xian, it was my lord who deliberately asked someone to open the formation and invite him in."
Yin Zhu knew in his heart that since he and the others were all under Qinglu's control, the situation must be over and he could no longer resist.
Based on his understanding of Qinglu, not only his own life and others would be in danger, but his family would also be destroyed.
"Fengji, you yourself are from a noble family, why did you do this?" Yin Zhu couldn't figure out why Fengji betrayed his own camp.
"Why?" Feng Ji asked, "Not everyone is like you, who puts their family's power and wealth more important than your Majesty."
Yin Zhu didn't believe it. However, that wasn't important anymore.
"Lord, for the sake of the monarch and his ministers for hundreds of years, can you save our family?"
Qingzhu shook his head indifferently and refused ruthlessly.
"Senior Zhuang Xian, I ask senior to take action and capture the traitor on my behalf."
Master Qing said a word and stopped looking at Yin Zhu and the others.
These are the people he has used for hundreds of years. Originally, Master Qing did not want to destroy his own wings and become a loner.
But they actually hired Wu Xian to kill the king. Then, they all deserve to die.
Just do it all at once and kill them all.
As long as you are successful in martial arts and have military power and resources, are you afraid that there will be no new loyal ministers? Just kill a group of old ones and replace them with a group of new ones who are more obedient.
It is best to use a loyal minister like the Prime Minister.
Master Qing gave the order to kill, entered the hall alone, closed his eyes and rested.
Zhuang Xian nodded, and the martial arts domain spread out, Yin Zhu and more than a hundred people were all imprisoned.
Then, Qingzhu's guards rushed out and started killing Yin Zhu and others who had lost the ability to resist.
"Pfft!"
"Pfft!"
The sounds of weapons piercing the vital points between the eyebrows kept coming and going.
Every once-high-ranking big shot was now like a pig or a dog, being mercilessly killed.
It is a pity that Yin Zhu, a great master of martial arts and the first general of the Qing Army, who has a high prestige in the army, was also killed by a Wuzong guard at this time.
Han Cang, a real person who had recently broken through to Wuzhen and the famous head of the Han family, was also beheaded.
In the Qinghuang Palace, a woman rushed in, knelt in front of the Qing Lord and said with tears in her eyes: "Husband! Han Cang deserves to be killed, but please forgive me for the sake of the Han family's loyalty to the king for generations and for the sake of my concubine.
The Han family…”
It was Mrs. Zuo Han Qi, Han Cang's sister.
It was she and Han Cang who recommended Jiang Yao to become a retainer of the Qing clan.
She knew she couldn't save Han Cang, so she just wanted to save the Han family.
Qingzhu looked at his wife coldly, then suddenly raised his hand and pierced her eyebrows.
Madam Zuo's beautiful eyes suddenly turned deathly gray and she fell down.
She could not have imagined that Lord Qing would kill her whenever he asked, without even the slightest bit of love between husband and wife.
"Anyone who dares to rebel against me will die, and you will be the same. The Han family cannot stay." Qingzhu said expressionlessly, and with a flick of his finger, he fired real fire and reduced his wife's body to ashes.
Killing his own woman is not a problem for Qingzhu at all. In the past hundred years, he has killed five or six.
After killing all Yin Zhu, Han Cang and others, Lord Qing ordered their heads to be displayed to the public.
As soon as the rebels in the city saw the heads of Yin Zhu and others, and learned that the powerful Wu Xian was actually Qing Zhu's helper, their military morale immediately collapsed.
The Qing Lord's military seal cleared the minds of the rebel generals and regained control of the rebels.
With more than a hundred people including Yin Zhu being killed, the situation in the city became one-sided, and the reformers took complete control of Qinghuang City.
The Taishang Clan Master laughed and said, "The Qing Clan is over, the Qing Clan is over." He cut off his life and died.
Under Qingzhu's order, groups of soldiers surrounded the rebels' mansion, blasted through the formation, and rushed in to kill them.
Jiang Yao quickly dispatched Hanshi officials to follow the soldiers into various mansions to make statistics on the confiscated resources and wealth.
By night, more than ten thousand people had been killed, and many families with a history of thousands of years had been uprooted and killed.
A bloody storm.
In the Yin family's residence alone, more than 50 million in spiritual jade were found, as well as various elixirs, real materials, magical weapons, spiritual rice, spiritual silk and other items that could be equivalent to tens of millions in spiritual jade.
The Yin family also owns commercial buildings, horse farms, spiritual mines, medicine gardens, manors, tea gardens and other industries, which can be counted as spiritual jade.
The wealth of just one Yin family is equivalent to hundreds of millions of spiritual jade!
Qingmeng's family wealth is also hundreds of millions.
Han family has hundreds of millions.
There are dozens of retainer aristocrats with net worths of hundreds of millions. Others also have fortunes ranging from tens to hundreds of millions.
The combined wealth of more than a hundred aristocratic families is equivalent to 20 to 30 billion in spiritual jade!
Is it all used up in practice?
There’s simply no way to use it up!
The spiritual jade and resources in their family's treasury are piled up like a mountain. Many spiritual herbs are rotten, and many real materials have been stored for hundreds of years, but they are not used!
What to do if you run out of money? Hide it in a treasure house and sleep, euphemistically called it: foundation.
I don’t know how many poor people there are who are casual cultivators. They are poor, lack resources, and lack caves. Even if they have good qualifications, they can’t break through.
But what about them? There are too many resources to use up, they have not paid taxes, and they are still monopolizing and plundering resources.
The total annual fiscal revenue of a second-class martial arts clan is only two to three hundred million.
It is equivalent to the total financial income of a second-class martial arts clan for a hundred years!
Jiang Yao's eyes widened when she saw the figures compiled by the officials.
Damn it, these people are so rich.
Is it so cruel?
A rough estimate is that at least 70% to 80% of the entire Qing clan's wealth is controlled by the Qing clan nobles and wealthy families.
No wonder the casual cultivators are so poor.
"Put it in the treasury! Put all the money in the treasury!" Jiang Yao quickly ordered.
"May I ask the Prime Minister, should it go into the treasury of the Ministry of Household Affairs or the treasury of the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
Chu Heng, the chief clerk asked.
Others also looked at the Prime Minister.
Jiang Yao smiled bitterly and said: "Of course it is in the imperial treasury. How can it be in the official treasury of the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
"You must remember that this court and the new law must uphold the public spirit! Only with the public spirit can we do great things!"
"What is the public heart? It is the way of heaven!"
"Such a huge resource does not belong to me, Jiang Yao, or even to the Jun Mansion, but to the entire Qing Clan. It should be used for all the people of the Qing Clan. This is benevolence."
"As long as you work with public intentions, the court and the orphans will naturally reward you as appropriate. Those who work diligently will never suffer. This is the distinction between public and private affairs."
"We will bear in mind the Prime Minister's teachings." The officials and courtiers were all sincerely convinced.
Even Yu Shu looked surprised when she heard this.
With such a huge wealth, including several billions of Guangling Jade, Jiang Yao was not tempted and had no intention of enriching his own pockets!
This kind of character is not only rare, but also a bit scary.
If it were someone else who had power, why not take hundreds of millions of spiritual jade as his own?
"Zhu Yan, you draw up a charter and work with the household department to allocate confiscated and seized resources." Jiang Yao gritted his teeth and said.
It's time to do this!
What? Allocate resources? To whom?
Everyone looked at each other.
Jiang Yao stood up, holding a snake staff in his hand, and said sonorously:
"More than six billion spiritual jade, I will dedicate 200 million to you, your Majesty."
"The imperial court left one billion for public use. One hundred million was left for public use by the Prime Minister's Mansion."
"Give 200 million as rewards to all the soldiers in the army."
"The remaining five billion will be given to all the poor cultivators in the thirteen counties!"
"Based on the early stage of the warrior, two hundred yuan will be allocated. For each small level, two hundred yuan will be added. For each major level, one thousand yuan will be added."
"Those who have perfected the martial arts of the poor family and have qualifications of level C or above can get more than 5,000 yuan of resources. Those who have achieved the level of martial arts of the poor family and have the qualifications of level B or above can get more than 30,000 yuan of resources..."
As soon as the words came out, many people were stunned.
"Prime Minister, Prime Minister, billions of spiritual jade are actually distributed to everyone. How can this monarch agree?" Zhu's eyes widened.
Everyone looked down in disbelief.
Chu Heng said: "Prime Minister, such a huge amount of spiritual jade, all scattered? This, this..."
Jiang Yao shook his head and said: "As the prime minister, I am naturally responsible for the relationship between the imperial court and the welfare of the people. I will naturally convince you about this matter. Even if the prime minister does not do it, he will still handle this important matter!"
"The poor cultivators have been in poverty for a long time. Looking for help is like looking forward to the rain after a long drought. It is precisely because of poverty that many people are unable to break through. As a result, the strength of our human race has stalled and is getting worse. It is a pity and a pity!"
"Look at it, everyone, the wealthy people have collected so many resources, and if they can't use them all, they won't give them to the casual cultivators. They just lie down in the treasure house and sleep. What is this?"
"This is an evil deed! It's a rich family's wine and meat that smells bad, and there are freezing bones on the road!"
Jiang Yao pointed outside: "They are all sinners! With their greed and selfish desires, they did what the demon wanted to do but couldn't!"
"When the demons destroy the human race in the future, will their inexhaustible resources be buried with their bodies and souls, and with their decayed families? Impossible!"
"So many idle resources will only fall into the hands of demons and become their trophies!"
"What are resources? Compared with people, resources are just tools to use! If we have resources, it is foolish not to use them to improve our martial arts strength, but to leave them idle instead of saving."
"So many resources are used to plunder casual cultivators, so we should compensate them!"
"What is the imperial court? The imperial court is the public!"
Jiang Yao slapped the snake staff hard, making Ah Jiuyi tremble on the snake staff.
The man pointed to his chest and continued:
"What are resources compared to the morale of the people and the military? That's bullshit! With the morale of the military and the people, even if the resources are used up, we can get more resources! There are ways!"
Listening to Jiang Yao's words, Yu Shu felt it was deafening and didn't know how to refute.
An uncontrollable thought came to mind: "Martial clans and noble families have accumulated a terrifying amount of resources over thousands of years, which cannot be used up, but they continue to accumulate as family heritage."
"But many casual cultivators lack resources. This has led to the deterioration of the strength of the human race. They only have a huge population, but they are becoming increasingly weak in the face of demons."
"Is this really a good thing?"
"Is what Jiang Zhongda did wrong? Of course he did not do the right thing when it came to the martial lords and powerful people. But when it came to the majority of casual cultivators, the entire Divine Continent, and the entire human race, didn't he do the same thing?"
Yu Shu suddenly felt sympathy for Jiang Yao.
This is truly a unique person, his heart is as bright as the moon.
But what he did was destined to fail.
The martial arts clans in Qiushan area will not allow him to do this, and the martial clans in the Western Region will not allow him to do this. The martial clans in the entire Shenzhou will oppose his approach.
He will become the public enemy of the martial arts!
