"Why don't you show up to see me, master? It would be detrimental to your reputation if you hide your head and tail like this!"
But Shi Yiyi chuckled: "You are not qualified to see this person. Even King Yama of the Underworld is not qualified in front of him. You, a mere ghost king, are the elders!!"
The Ghost King's pupils shrank. Although he didn't fully believe Shi Yiyi's words, he knew that he was no match for him secretly. And this girl wasn't weak either!
The Ghost King asked in a hoarse voice: "Who are you?"
"You are the only one who deserves to know my aunt's name? Take my sword again! The phoenix dances in the sky, and there is a phoenix coming!" Shi Yiyi's internal energy instantly turned into fiery red, and madness filled the air, making it look like
Like a fiery red sun.
"唳——"
With a phoenix cry that resounded through the sky, Shi Yiyi stabbed the Ghost King with a sword with boundless momentum. This sword seemed to have the ability to pierce the sky.
The Ghost King was startled. He put his hands in front of him and let out a loud roar. The sky dimmed for a moment, and ghostless hands appeared around him to form a series of lines.
But under the burning flames of the phoenix, Senluo's ghost hand melted away. He could not withstand it for a moment. The sword passed directly through the ghost king's chest. When Shi Yiyi appeared again, the person had turned his back to the ghost king.
. Drops of blood dripped down from the tip of the sword.
The Ghost King fell to the ground with a pop and was silent again. But Shi Yiyi turned around and said: "Now go back to hell, auntie. If I meet you next time, I will beat you to pieces!"
An illusory figure floated up from the corpse and thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you, thank you so much. I will never mess around in the world again. Thank you for not killing me!"
The Ghost King left, and Shi Yiyi returned to his original position and looked at the Prime Minister again: "I have taken away your support, what else do you have to rely on? Someone, drag him out and behead him!"
"Yes, yes!" After seeing Shi Yiyi's true ability this time, no one dared to be negligent anymore. Several soldiers immediately came out and escorted him out. After seeing the ghost king fall, the prime minister was completely stunned.
People are also demented. They don’t understand what they are saying!
The biggest thorn in the side was killed. So all the officials were trembling with fear. They didn't dare anyone to come forward. Shi Yi looked around and nodded with satisfaction: "This place has been damaged. Now find a new office location!"
Under the leadership of the king, all the civil and military personnel of the court came to a nice side hall. Shi Yiyi sat unceremoniously on the main seat and said to the king: "King, now we have to think about national affairs. You can go back and rest.
!”
The king felt quite embarrassed and smiled awkwardly: "That's right, then I'll bother you, the President!"
After sending the king away, Shi Yiyi said to the civil and military officials: "What is the population of the country, how much arable land is there, and what is the output. Please write down all the official information, how much money is left in the treasury, and various expenditures clearly for me. These are
I hope the basic information will be in my hands tomorrow morning!"
The same goes for the army. Anyone who has information about the officers, the total number of troops, the number of horses, standard weapons, and military expenditures will all be handed over to me tomorrow morning. Do you understand?"
"yes!"
"yes!"
"Okay, let's break up the meeting!"
After returning home, Shi Yiyi happily pulled her parents along and said, "I performed well today. Even that ghost king is no match for me!"
Wang Zhaojun fondly nodded her forehead: "You, you don't know how high the sky is. If the Ghost King wasn't afraid of your father's existence, you might not be able to beat him. After all, he is already a semi-immortal.
With your body, you will become a real ghost fairy after one step forward! And you are only at the Grand Master level now. However, your moves are very skillful and you have exerted 200% of your power."
"Hehe, of course I know it was daddy who scared him away. But I'm not a bad fighter either!"
Shi Lei also nodded with satisfaction: "It's indeed very good. I really injured him seriously. But have you thought about how to govern this country next?"
Shi Yiyi nodded: "I have already thought about it. The most important thing for a country is force, and then wealth! Let's not talk about force for the moment, and this country is also very poor regarding wealth. So the first thing to stabilize the country is to let
More people have food to eat.
The first is to establish trade routes and trade with other countries, and the second is to free up the invisible entrance and reclaim the land. I want everyone to have food to eat. At least there can't be so many beggars, or even people who freeze to death and starve to death every day."
Shi Lei didn't comment: "Just do it if you think it's feasible! If you have anything, you can discuss it with your mother. Dad will have his own things to do in the future. If you encounter danger, you can contact him through the jade card."
"Dad, where are you going?"
"Don't worry, nothing will happen to me. I will come back every half month!"
Shi Lei left. His first stop was Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, Xianyue Sanxing Cave! Looking at the dilapidated appearance of this place, looking back on the years of learning Taoism here, it was like yesterday!
"Master, have you really left? Where will you go?" His question was destined to not be answered by anyone here.
When they came to the back mountain, the Bodhi tree still stood tall. It reached into the clouds. Shi Lei bowed respectfully and said softly, "Master, Wukong will come out in less than twenty years. This time he will cause trouble in the Heavenly Palace."
, what do you think our chances of success are!"
Shi Lei then shook his head: "It's very small. How can the status of Heaven be so easily shaken? Maybe I really have to make Wukong suffer for those five hundred years. And I will use these five hundred years to rule the world and let Heaven.
Once again, he will take over the human race and become a new generation of human emperor!"
After leaving Fangcun Mountain, Shi Lei came to the Banana Cave in Cuiyun Mountain again. He knocked on the door and waited outside.
The door was slowly opened, and a beautiful woman walked out and asked, "Who are you? What's wrong with knocking on the door?"
Shi Lei asked with a smile: "This should be Brother Niu's home! Just say that his old friend Shi Lei is here. Please ask him to meet."
"Look for Lao Niu, just wait!" This woman seems to have a bad temper! Moreover, Shi Lei came here directly to find the Bull Demon King, so he naturally knew that this woman was the Rakshasa girl, the Iron Fan Princess.
Her magic weapon is the banana fan, and this place is called the banana cave. Naturally, it is known that the owner of this cave is Princess Iron Fan and not the Bull Demon King. But after the two got married, the Ox Demon King naturally became the owner of this place!
After a moment, a tall figure with a pair of horns and a nose on his head ran out in a hurry: "Who is looking for me, old cow!!"
"Brother Niu, I haven't seen you for many years. How are you?"
The Bull Demon King was startled when he saw Shi Lei: "Oh, it turns out it's you. Why do you have time to come and play with your Brother Niu today!"
Originally, Shi Lei was ranked first, but the Bull Demon King was not willing at all. In terms of status, he was the unparalleled Demon King, while Shi Lei was just an ordinary meat boy.
In terms of age, he was several thousand years older than Shi Lei. Naturally, he didn't want to call Shi Lei and Sun Wukong brothers. So he always called Shi Lei "boy" and Sun Wukong "monkey monkey".
I have nothing to do. It seems that Brother Niu is here to take a look. I heard that you also married a beautiful wife. You are really blessed!
The Bull Demon King felt a little guilty, but he still said: "Shi Lei, you came here today to blame us for not helping? But do you know that it's not that we didn't want to do it, but that we couldn't help at all. Do you think that the sky is full of gods and Buddhas?
Are they all vulnerable? If a real master takes action, we can't disobey him, right?"
Shi Lei nodded: "I understand. If this is the case, then I won't bother you anymore!"
After getting the answer he wanted to know, Shi Lei left here. In this world, the demon clan is still in decline. The six demon kings were frightened back!
The third stop is the Flower and Fruit Mountain of Aolai Country! The purpose of coming to the capital is to train troops and then seize the command of Aolai Country! Naturally, Shi Lei did not show up in person, but split an incarnation to incorporate Aolai Country. Aolai Country
Although it is still weak compared to the Han Dynasty, its national strength is definitely much better than Xichang.
This incarnation is not ordinary. Because this is a mythical world. An incarnation without strength is useless. There are definitely immortal masters in Aolai Kingdom. It cannot be as simple as Xichang Kingdom.
Therefore, this incarnation has half the power of mana and cultivation. I believe it is enough to meet all needs in the mortal world.
The development of Xichang Country is also normal. Under Shi Yiyi's high pressure, it feels like the entire country is no longer as slow as before and has begun to operate.
The number of entrances to Xichang is 800,000, and the land area is 500,000 square kilometers. The arable land reaches 300,000 square kilometers. Of course, the land currently planted is too little, and nearly 60% of the land is fertile farmland. These 300,000 square kilometers of land are cultivated.
There is actually no problem in supporting a population of 800,000 people within 10,000 square kilometers.
According to Shi Yiyi's estimate, there are at least 200,000 to 300,000 people left at the invisible entrance to Xichang. That's just over one million. In fact, the land can support that many people.
But now most of these good and fertile fields are abandoned there. The reason is exploitation by landlords! Land is bought and sold. Then the landlords have more and more land. The farmers become tenants, but the rent collected by the landlords is more and more.
This has resulted in many people having no way to live on the remaining food. They have no choice but to travel far away to find a living.
And these landlords are particularly hateful. They would rather let the land lie abandoned than rent it out cheaply. Even if you are a good landlord and want to rent it out at a low price, under the influence of the general environment, you will not be allowed to do that. Then you will
If you become an alien to the landlord class, the only fate for aliens is to be overthrown!
"Eighty percent!" Shi Yiyi exclaimed in fright when she heard the numbers reported by her subordinates: "They are simply seeking wealth and killing. They are a group of demons that eat people without spitting out their bones! Such demons must be eliminated!"
Eighty percent, this is the rent charged by those landlords. Think about it, after you have reaped the harvest of what you have worked so hard to sow for a year, you can only keep 20%. You have to hand over 80% to the landlord.
This is simply an undesirable rhythm for life! Especially those with families and dependents have no way of surviving in such circumstances!
"By the way, what's going on with the Jinyiwei I asked you to set up?" Shi Yiyi was sitting on the main seat. In front of him was a masked man in black. This man was actually a monster. When Shi Yiyi discovered this guy, he was
Hiding in the imperial kitchen to steal food. He is a falcon!
"Back to the Lord, Jin Yiwei has recruited more than 80 people. There are also four of my good brothers. Their identities are wolf, fox, owl and crow."
"Very good, your identity will be your code name from now on! Falcon, you will bear witness to the court and supervise all the officials in Kyoto. The four of them are responsible for the officials in the four directions of east, west, north and south respectively! If there are any violations of law and discipline, they will be arrested together.
Bring to justice!"
"Yes, my lord!"
After solving the problem of official inspection, the main thing now is to think about how to solve the land problem. According to all the cases that Dad has told, there are only two ways to solve this problem. The first is land tax. Pay as much tax as you have on the land.
, then those who own land will definitely have to pay more taxes. The more land, the more taxes they will pay.
But this treats the symptoms rather than the root cause! I believe there will be considerable changes if implemented. But it cannot cure the problem!
Then the only way is to adopt the second method. Nationalize the land. This can basically eliminate the sale of land. Although the resistance to reform will be great, it treats the symptoms and the root cause.
"In the face of absolute strength, everything is a paper tiger!" Shi Yiyi's mouth curved slightly.
The next day at the court, Shi Yiyi said: "In recent times, I have learned about the general situation in the country. Although we do not have much fertile land, it could have met domestic needs. However, the land was bought by landlords. This has caused farmers to
There is no land to farm, and 80% of the tax and rent have left the people desperate. Don’t tell me that you don’t know. Then tell me now what solutions you have!”
"this........."
Officials from the DPRK and the Chinese government were speechless one after another. In fact, they are basically all landlords. They did not expect to discuss such a sensitive topic today. What should they say? Is there any reason to ruin their own wealth?
Seeing the officials in the audience like this, Shi Yiyi snorted with disdain: "You are just a bunch of scum, a bunch of national worms who have the nerve to stand in the court and discuss national affairs. And you are all hopelessly stupid. You are killing the goose to get the egg."
Don’t you understand the truth?”
No one in the audience spoke. Shi Yiyi lost a lot of his temper after scolding, and said with a chuckle: "Since you don't speak, then I will tell you my solution. All the land
Receive it as state-owned. The land will be released to you. You only have the right to use it, not the right to buy or sell it. I will issue documents to you on the specific matters!"
"No. Such a ridiculous will cannot be carried out."
"Yes, land has always been owned by the people. If it is nationalized, there will be public resentment."
"For the sake of the country and the country, this decree cannot be made. Once the people rebel, the country will not be protected!"
