Wuxu sat in the secret room, the scene just now passing through his mind over and over again.
The villagers of Niutou Village were naturally like ants, turning into powder and flying into ashes and being annihilated. Zhu Donglai, there is Shen Qian but I don’t know what happened?....
Listening to the words of the Great Zhou Emperor, it seemed that Zhu Donglai had colluded with the forces behind Shen Qian, and the crime was the so-called rebellion. Could it be that Shen Qian is now committed to the forces of the previous emperor?....
The divine consciousness just now was like an infinite moment, leaving Wuxu with a trace of inexplicable insights and emotions, but if he really thought about it, it felt extremely illusory.
In Wuxu's Dharma Realm, in Tianyuan Temple, the eight heavenly dragon auras left by Master Zen Guang were attached to the pillars and walls, lifelike. Fortunately, Zhang Cuilu and others, as well as Zhu Yuanzhang, were aware of it and used their own methods.
, suppress and refine one by one.
Then He Qifeng also woke up and turned around. Li Mingshan, in a corner, seemed a little uncomfortable.
Wuxu thought for a while, explained a few words to Zhang Cuilu and others, and took out Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Mingshan. Li Mingshan found a corner again and sat cross-legged; Zhu Yuanzhang didn't do anything else, he just smiled at Wuxu.
, "Senior brother, I can't leave now. There is a saying in the world, it is easy to practice in public, so why do you have to travel around?"
Wuxu nodded, "In that case, I won't leave. However, Wuxu can't do anything alone. I would like to ask my junior brother and fellow Taoist Li to stay for the time being and help us."
Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have expected and thought about it. He immediately smiled and said, "Is this natural?"
Wuxu looked at Li Mingshan, who said quietly in a cloud of demonic energy, "Dare you disobey your orders?"
Wuxu and Zhu Yuanzhang looked at each other and smiled.
As soon as you smile, it's dawn.
Soon, the annoying attendant was patrolling outside the door again.
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand slightly, the door opened and the attendant flew in.
Wuxu smiled and said, "Go to the left and right counselors, and the left and right counselors will come to discuss matters."
In the meeting hall of the city lord's palace, Wuxu looked at the three people below and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, "Where is the left counselor Sima Zhi?"
The right counselor, Xu Chuanshan, with a look of sorrow and anger on his face, replied in a deep voice, "To inform the city lord, the left counselor visited Niutou Village last night and has not returned yet. We have not heard back at all. I am afraid something unexpected has happened."
Has something unexpected happened? Sima Zhi was born into a noble family and had extraordinary cultivation. He was also the left counselor of Yongzhou City. However, there was no news last night. Is he afraid of something unexpected?
Wuxu immediately said angrily, "Find out the reason quickly. If something unexpected happens to Counselor Zuo, the murderer must be arrested."
A group of people were silent and did not speak. Last night, several Tongxuan major cultivators came. Zhu Donglai, the general who defended the city, was labeled as a traitor. He does not know whether he is alive or dead. It is really hard to talk nonsense about the matter of Zuo Counselor Sima Zhi.
Wuxu naturally knew the truth. After being so angry, he slowly put away his emotions and said slowly, "Now, Xuanyin is facing the catastrophe, the Great Zhou Dynasty is reforming the system, and the great repairman is coming to Yongzhou in person. How can we sit down and eat without food?"
The generals on the left and right, as well as the counselor on the right, responded in unison, "It all depends on the general (city lord)'s order."
When these people saw Tongxuan Daxiu appear, they all pretended to be grandsons. However, this was what Wuxu expected and wanted.
Wuxu then stood up and said to these people, "Since ancient times, reform has been extremely difficult. It is reasonable for the three of them to hide. However, the three of them also saw the scene last night.
It won't work if we don't change it. In this case, the little monk will take over the power for a while."
Immediately, Wuxu appointed
Zhu Yuanzhang was the supervisor of the Yongzhou city garrison and had all supervisory powers.
Li Mingshan is the general manager of the Yongzhou City Lord's Mansion and is in charge of all affairs of the City Lord's Mansion.
Then, the first city lord order was issued,
"From today onwards, Yongzhou implements the imperial court's "Spiritual Material Order". All the spiritual materials and spiritual objects belonging to the soldiers and civilians, except those needed for their own cultivation, should be handed over to the city lord's palace. The garrison will be implemented by the supervisory army and the left and right generals.
; The rest will be carried out by the general manager of the city lord's palace and the right counselor." At that moment, he explained the details to everyone.
Afterwards, Zhu Yuanzhang and his right and left counselors went to the military camp outside the city to issue orders. Li Mingshan and his right counselor went to various places in the city to issue orders. For a time, outside Yongzhou City, chickens and dogs were jumping like dogs; fortunately, the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, as well as several
Tongxuan Daxiu just showed up in Yongzhou, but there was no big commotion.
Soon, Zhu Yuanzhang, his left counselor General Fu Yizhi, right counselor Murong Xue, Li Mingshan and right counselor Xu Chuanshan finished their orders and returned to the city lord's palace. Then, a long queue formed outside the city lord's palace.
First of all, naturally they are all monks.
Moreover, according to Wuxu's instructions, the army and civilians were divided into two columns. Zhu Yuanzhang and others were responsible for the reception and handling of the military affairs; Li Mingshan and Xu Chuanshan were responsible for the civilian affairs.
Speaking of the monks who join the army, most of them have no background and family background, and their qualifications are average. Many of them have to rely on the military pay to practice. However, it is not necessary to have additional spiritual resources and spiritual objects. It is hindered by military law.
, and reluctant to part with the military pay and future that were paid on time, they had to come one by one to pass the test.
Wuxu looked at a few cases and told Zhu Yuanzhang and others to stop for the time being and why not go to the military camp to handle a special matter and end it as soon as possible.
The common monks in the city can barely be divided into three categories. One category is the monks from aristocratic families. There are several so-called aristocratic families in Yongzhou City, some have people in the imperial court, some have powerful families, and some have other backgrounds;
Immortal Medical Clinic, Talisman Shop,
Monks in industries such as magic weapon shops; and the other category are casual cultivators. Of course, there are some overlaps. For example, there is a family surnamed Xiao. It is said that one of the family members is still serving in Yushitai, so
Controlled two-thirds of the restaurants in Yongzhou City.
In a sense, the monks in the army are easier to deal with. Soldiers must obey orders, otherwise military law will be ruthless, and the interest relationship is relatively simple. These three religions and nine schools in this city are much more difficult to deal with.
After Li Mingshan and Xu Chuanshan issued orders in the city, the first people to come were the several aristocratic families in Yongzhou City, led by their heads, and there were hundreds of them.
According to common sense, the heads of aristocratic families need to be received by the Lord of Yongzhou City in person. Wu Xu ordered his right counselor Xu Chuanshan to go out to greet the heads of the family in person. He and Li Mingshan were sitting in the main hall, waiting for their arrival.
After a while, they saw Xu Chuanshan walking in front with a smile and leading five old men in. Then he invited the five old men to sit down and introduced them to Wuxu and Li Mingshan one by one. The family surnamed Li is the head of the family.
Li Shizhi; surname Luo
The aristocratic family, the head of the family is Luo Huan; the aristocratic family with the surname surnamed Xiao, the head of the family is Xiao Xianyi; the Huyan family, the head of the family is Hu Yanwu; the Yelu world, the head of the family is Yelu Zhaoming. All of these five family heads are around the true spirit level, and those who have not yet reached it are
There is only one or two small realms difference.
All of them were polite and polite, and they did not show any signs of neglect because Wuxu looked young. After greetings and greetings, they all handed over the number of people in their family and the list of spiritual materials that should be paid to Wuxu.
He took them and looked at them, and then handed them one by one to Xu Chuanshan, the right counselor. Xu Chuanshan took them and looked at them again, and then nodded meaningfully to Wuxu.
Wu Xu secretly sighed.
You must know that the aristocratic family itself has many materials, which are owned by the family and are not in the name of a specific person. The reason why Wuxu did not request the spiritual materials owned by the aristocratic family in the first order is,
When it was handed over to the imperial court, it was actually a step-by-step approach. As expected, these aristocratic families were also very "cooperative."
Wuxu thought for a while and said with a smile, "It's rare for all the family heads to be so reasonable and cooperative." Then he motioned to Li Mingshan and Xu Chuanshan to collect the rosters.
Those family heads smiled slightly and praised Wuxu, the city lord, for being reasonable and opening the door to convenience. Some even went to the extra mile and asked directly and rather cryptically about last night's events in order to find out the bottom of Xu's situation.
Wuxu muttered, "The reform of the Great Zhou Dynasty is full of difficulties and problems. The young monk is not talented, so he was appointed to Yongzhou City. It is all due to the strong support of all the aristocratic families. Today, it is also the first time for the young monk to meet you.
.so,"
When Wuxu said this, he said to Li Mingshan and Xu Chuanshan, "Since there is a roster, it's a little complicated, so we just need to compare it with others. It's rare that all the heads of the aristocratic families gather together, and the young monk wants to entertain him as the lord of Yongzhou City.
.”
The monks in the army retreated; after the head of the aristocratic family came in. The monks from the aristocratic families outside the city lord's palace originally followed the family master to make up the numbers. After receiving the news, they immediately dispersed. Outside the city lord's palace, it was empty again, and no one else was seen.
The monks came, and there were no ordinary people. It seems that the monks from this family are taking the lead today.
The banquet place is located in a place in the city lord's palace with excellent scenery, lush flowers and plants, and rippling water.
The five heads of the family, Wuxu, Zhu Yuanzhang, Li Mingshan, as well as the left and right counselors, formed a circle and sat on the ground.
All kinds of fine wines and delicacies were brought out one after another, some of them with signs saying so-and-so restaurant, so-and-so aristocratic family...
Perhaps it was because Zhu Donglai, the former general who defended the city, was missing, and Sima Zhi, the left counselor of Yongzhou, was missing. Wuxu, the new city lord, seemed to be very cooperative. The heads of the families were cautious at first, but then they gradually started talking and laughing.
But it was just chatting and laughing at the banquet, no one took the initiative to talk about anything serious
I only talked about the customs and customs of Yongzhou. Even so, it makes people feel the great influence of these aristocratic families in Yongzhou.
In the end, Wuxu couldn't help but said, "Most of the collection of spiritual materials and spiritual objects, as well as the subsequent cultivation techniques, have to be handed over to the court. However, for the normal operation and development of Yongzhou, it is also necessary
Guaranteed. When the time comes, I hope you will have a lot of support from all the aristocratic families."
The banquet suddenly became quiet. After a while, Li Shizhi, the head of the Li family, said, "To be honest, there are still some spiritual materials and spiritual objects left in our family. These materials, in addition to the reserved items for each person,
In addition to monthly taxes, it is also because the family guards the restricted barriers and has various business transactions, which have to be preserved. Otherwise, everything will not be able to operate normally. If this is the case, I am afraid that the entire Yongzhou City will also lose its luster."
"Brother, don't be fooled by them." At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang secretly sent a message, "Although this is the truth, in fact, most of these aristocratic families have secretly kept most of them, and what they handed over this time is just a drop in the bucket. Think about it.
When I was in the human world, junior brother, I attacked cities and plundered ponds. Everywhere I went, the local gentry always said such things. They still needed to be beaten hard. If that didn't work, I would kill one or two."
Wuxu naturally knows this routine of attacking local tyrants and dividing their land. At present, although it is not a rebellion, with their combined strength, settling some charges, and destroying one or two aristocratic families, Wuxu and the others can still do it. But Wuxu doesn't want to do it all.
It was so simple and crude from the beginning. After all, I didn't really want to rebel, but I couldn't leave for the time being, so I simply took the opportunity to carry out reforms in the monk world.
Wuxu thought for a while and decided to use another move.
"The young monk believes what the head of the Li family said is true. Otherwise, he would not have collected the roster and held a banquet to entertain you all." Wu Xu said with a smile, "In my opinion, there are two core points in this reform.
Point 1. Concentrate resources and unify
The second step is to introduce competition and accelerate improvement. Collecting spiritual resources and spiritual objects, and even practicing methods are just the first step. Coordination and deployment are not clear to the young monk, but the subsequent introduction of competition and acceleration of improvement, the young monk has some insights."
What Wuxu said has actually been secretly and widely circulated. Not only that, it is said that the capital city of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Tianren Academy, has implemented a new policy of allocating spiritual resources based on rankings in cultivation competitions, which is a new policy of magic.
The five heads of the aristocratic families naturally knew it, and they were speechless. They only looked at Wuxu, wanting to hear how Wuxu implemented it in Yongzhou City.
All I heard was that Wuxufu said again, "Little monk, we plan to build a monastery in Yongzhou City. Anyone who has the qualifications to practice can sign up to join. From then on, both the garrison and the city lord's palace in Yongzhou City will select talents from this monastery.
"
The banquet suddenly became quiet again. Not only the five aristocratic family heads, but also the left and right counselors, as well as the right counselor, all looked at Wuxu.
According to the system, Yongzhou City's garrison generals and city lord's palace administrative officials, as well as middle and high-level personnel, must be appointed by the court. Wuxu said, "Both the garrison and the city lord's palace in Yongzhou City select talents from this monastery." This is
Building an independent kingdom? It is not a rebellion, but it is the same as a rebellion. Or is it that Wuxu received a special order?
"If the imperial court really wants to reform the system, it must delegate power to the local governments in this way. Otherwise, I am afraid that even the spiritual capital order will not be able to be implemented." Wuxu said with a smile, but he just raised his head to the sky, as if he was not giving advice.
People around me explain.
In the sky above Yongzhou City, a voice suddenly sighed, "I didn't expect that this little monk recommended by the demon would be so knowledgeable."
The demon smiled and said, "He and his senior brother were originally characters who experienced changes in dynasties in the human world."
After a moment, another person suddenly said, "If not, kill all these aristocratic families and even the guilds?"
"Infinite Heavenly Lord, if all these aristocratic families and guilds are killed, how many talents will I, Xuanyin, have that can be cultivated?"
"Amitabha, such killing may cause great karma. When the time comes, the blood of Xuanyin Star will flow into a river, and people will be panicked. You and I have too much time to take care of ourselves, so why talk about other things?"
A figure in royal robes appeared, "It's just a mere Yongzhou, so I followed him for the time being." Then, the figure sank rapidly, gradually solidified, and loomed over the Yongzhou City Lord's Mansion, "It's just a monastery, I'm sure!"
Sure enough, they are still there! Wu Xu's heart tightened inexplicably, and at the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang, Li Mingshan, the left and right counselors, the right counselor, and the five heads of the aristocratic families stood solemnly and bowed respectfully.
Sure enough, they are still there! Outside Yongzhou City, in a remote rural area, Shen Qian, with long hair and shawl but wearing a tattered monk's robe, suddenly got excited, let go of the hare in his hand, and looked towards Yongzhou City.
