Time flies, and one year has passed in the blink of an eye.
At this time, on the outskirts of the town, in a continuous rice field, the golden wheat stalks were extremely tall and full of grains.
Many farmers are already harvesting rice with their families using sickles.
There is a wide blue brick road in the middle of the rice field. A carriage comes from a distance, and the driver is a dark-faced young man wearing a blue flying fish suit, with a knife on his waist and a cold face.
After a while, the carriage stopped, the black-faced young man got out of the carriage and opened the curtain of the carriage.
Immediately, a handsome young man wearing a white Confucian shirt and holding a white folding fan got out of the carriage.
The young man should have been described as handsome, but she has a delicate face, smooth jade-like skin, and no Adam's apple on her snow-white neck. She is obviously a Xibei young master disguised as a man, and she is none other than Song Yuxin, the current Heavenly Lord of the Ministry of Water. At the same time, she
He also served as a minister in the Ming Dynasty. Just like Wei Zheng, he was a minister of the Tang Dynasty during the day and a minister of the Heavenly Court at night. He also supervised and beheaded the Dragon King.
The black-faced young man said: "Sir, I'm going to call some farmers over and make inquiries."
"We can't delay the people's work. I'd better go over and ask in person."
After Song Yuxin finished speaking, she performed Qing Gong, stepped into the air, and landed on the edge of the field in a moment.
Next to it, a family of four is harvesting rice with a sickle.
Song Yuxin asked in Izumo language: "Uncle, how much grain can you produce from one acre of land?"
A middle-aged man with dark red skin wiped his sweat and said with a smile: "Sir, last year the yield was 5 shi per mu, but this year with the blessing of the river god, the weather is good, and the rice is growing much better than last year. It should be able to produce 10 shi per mu."
"What's your ten-dollar tax? No local officials can add other miscellaneous taxes to you?"
"Ten taxes are three! Under the supervision of Lord Jinyiwei, no official dares to increase taxes!"
The middle-aged woman next to me said.
The land tax of ten and three taxes is not light, but there are no various excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes. For the people, it is really a great virtue. The Jinyiwei is an organization created by Xiao Yi last year and is responsible for monitoring the world for him. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty has many officials in the Qingming Dynasty.
.
Song Yuxin nodded and continued to ask: "Are there any people who do not allocate land and farm for others?"
"Since the imperial court established households and distributed land to the people last year, most people have land to farm. Even those who farm for the landlord's family only pay 30% of the rent and 30% of the tax."
After hearing this, Song Yuxin looked quite satisfied. She continued to ask the farmers in other fields and got similar answers. Then she returned to the carriage and headed to the county seat.
Half an hour later, inside the county town.
On the streets, cars are flowing like water, horses are like dragons, pedestrians are in an endless stream, and businesses are flourishing.
Song Yuxin led the black-faced youth to patrol the streets to check on the public sentiment.
In the past, people did not have enough to eat, did not wear warm clothes, had sallow complexion and thin skin, and had little free time to wander around the streets.
Nowadays, most of the people have been allocated fields, have food and clothing, and the people are prosperous. In terms of business, there are forces such as Longgong, Daqian, Yuanmeng, etc. for trade cooperation, so business is prosperous.
The court's money mainly came from commercial taxes, and the court itself even had many state-owned industries, which enriched the Ming Dynasty's treasury and had the strength to build roads and water conservancy projects.
Immediately, Song Yuxin came to the Chenghuang Temple.
The Chenghuang Temple is full of incense and attracts many pilgrims.
Sensing Song Yuxin's arrival, a green divine light flew out of the City God statue, transforming into a transparent old man who looked the same as the City God.
The City God looked respectful and said: "The little god meets the Heavenly Lord!"
Although the real body of the County God is located in the realm of the gods under the City God's Temple, the statue contains distractions, which is why Song Yuxin's arrival is noticed.
Song Yuxin said coldly: "You don't need to be too polite. Are there people in the Shinto here who are living in corpses? If you know this and don't report it, you will be deprived of your godly status and cast into reincarnation in the underworld!"
The City God hurriedly said: "The little gods don't dare! There was indeed a river god half a year ago. He was a god of the earth and did not do practical things. The little gods reported it to heaven and were removed from the priesthood."
Song Yuxin nodded, then went to visit the nearby counties and then to the county.
The entire system was roughly checked before returning to the capital.
The next day, in the morning, the sun was shining brightly.
At this time, the royal palace and the imperial study room.
Xiao Yi glanced at Song Yuxin and found that she was already at the fourth level of the Yuan Dan realm, and her power of Dan Yuan was pure and her foundation was solid.
This is the function of the divine throne. The higher the level of the divine throne, the faster it will increase the speed of practice. Moreover, it can assist the gods to understand the laws of the great road.
Immediately, he asked: "Yuxin, how are the lives of the people during this inspection? God, are the officials slacking off?"
Song Yuxin said: "Brother, now the water god is responsible for the rain, the weather is smooth everywhere, the mountain god protects the forest, and cultivates elixirs. The land regulates the earth's atmosphere and nourishes the fields, and the people have a good harvest. The government is supervised by the Jinyi Guards and dare not act arbitrarily. There are also many officials who focus on political affairs.
In order to become a god after death!"
People are all selfish, and it is difficult to forcibly eliminate corruption. Therefore, Xiao Yi opened the Shinto canonization. As long as the officials under their control have great achievements, they can be made gods after death, and the gods will be determined according to the size of their achievements.
Compared with those gold and silver treasures, the allure of becoming a god is undoubtedly higher.
Xiao Yi nodded after listening to Song Yuxin's narration. He cares about political affairs, not only to gather national power and enhance dragon energy, but also because the stronger the national power, the more source power he can obtain.
Immediately, Xiao Yi discussed some political matters with Song Yuxin and asked her to leave.
At this time, he checked the source power reserve. The current source power was 9.731, an increase of 20 million.
This year, he didn't do anything. He was just running the country besides practicing, but he was able to obtain 20 million source power in a year. It really surprised him. It only takes a hundred years to get 2 billion source power!
In fact, with the same population and territory, if the official administration is chaotic, Xiao Yi may obtain less than half of the source power.
Sure enough, the ruling path is the most efficient in obtaining source power.
Immediately, he checked the attribute table.
Xiao Yi
Identity: Host
Realm: Dharma phase realm second level
Bloodline: Chaos Bloodline 100%
Foundation: Supreme and Ultimate
Combat Power: Peak of the Second Level of the Immortal Realm
His cultivation has improved by a small level, and his combat power has also improved by a small level.
His foundation is so strong that he can advance to a higher level every year, and his cultivation progress has been extremely fast. This is also thanks to the increase of dragon energy. Luck has a great impact on cultivation.
In this year, in addition to his true form, his incarnation of Emperor Fengdu also condensed the Immortal Holy Body and was promoted to the first level of the Immortal Realm.
The Immortal Holy Body condensed by Emperor Fengdu is a combination of the Holy Body of Death and the Holy Body of Underworld, and his Taoism is far superior to that of the Martial Saint who has just entered the first level of the Immortal Realm, and his combat power is comparable to the peak of the second level of the Immortal Realm.
And the body of reincarnation is now cultivating in the heaven, and its cultivation has improved a lot, and its foundation has been solidified.
Although the original deity and the two incarnations now have the combat power of martial saints, Xiao Yi is not satisfied. Because his current cultivation requires a huge amount of vitality, and it is extremely difficult to improve simply through hard work.
Therefore, he planned to go to the Western Region to kill the Underworld Saint and obtain resources to improve his cultivation.
At this moment, a guard came in and said: "Your Majesty, the great Qingzhou Shepherd Chilong Wuzun wishes to see you!"
Xiao Yi frowned slightly. The Red Dragon Martial Lord had an old relationship with him, so the imperial court sent him here just because he wanted to ask for something. But he hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said: "Invite him in!"
