Chapter three hundred and seventeen: maid, poor master
Throughout the ages, it is not unusual to add layers of funds.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, when Chongzhen levied Liao rates, perhaps in Chongzhen's eyes, the Ming Dynasty had hundreds of millions of people and hundreds of millions of acres of land, and the Liao rates were only a few million taels of silver each year, which was not much at all.
There are so many people, and if each person pays ten cents a year, there are millions of taels of silver. If each person contributes dozens of cents a year, there will be no income.
However, what he never expected was that he said in the court that he would collect millions of Liao's wages, but when it came to the local government, two capitals and thirteen provinces, the number would become ten million taels a year.
When the decree to increase Liao's salary came to various counties, the number became tens of millions per year. When the officials started to implement it, the number directly reached hundreds of millions.
Perhaps the total wealth collected by the low-level officials in the name of Liao's salary has exceeded 100 million every year, but what reaches the court is only a few million taels.
This is actually typical official corruption.
So the question is, if the government is not corrupt, will it be possible to implement the decrees formulated by the above?
That’s too much to think about!
If you don't make it clear today which law can be applied flexibly, the officials who implement it will dare to pull the flag and do all kinds of things that are ridiculous and even damaging to Daxia's credibility.
Therefore, whether to punish without teaching is still a matter of debate. As for which law can be used flexibly, there is no argument about which one can be used flexibly.
Of course, it has been agreed that those who commit heinous crimes and are anti-human should be killed immediately when caught.
Therefore, all along, even in Beihai County, Daxia first followed the rules of local powerful powers to annex other powerful powers.
Although at that time, Daxia directly snatched away the land of other powerful people, this was in line with the rules of the time.
Therefore, in the following Ming Dynasty, Daxia will also seize the land of other landlords in a way that conforms to the rules of this era.
If you can't grab it directly, then start a war.
According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, the war was won and it was natural for the new dynasty to obtain all the land.
Of course, in order to show Daxia's difference, Daxia would inform them before taking action.
You can choose to force redemption, or you can choose to fight to the end!
Even in Beihai County, Daxia first informed other powerful people that I was coming to annex you. If you agree to the annexation honestly and give up all the land, you can get a large amount of financial subsidies.
It is a pity that whether it is Beihai County or the Three Kingdoms period, there are always very few people who are willing to agree to annexation.
You can’t blame Daxia for not giving him a chance!
Therefore, this is not considered killing without teaching!
After all, you have been notified!
I can kill your whole family in one go, but I choose to reason with you slowly. This is benevolence and righteousness.
It's your choice to refuse and resist, so you can't blame Daxia for not teaching and punishing you!
Therefore, after listening to the introduction by Jiang Ju and others, Qida only felt that his face was still too thin.
"No wonder it's the Heavenly Demon. What you did has completely confirmed the title of Heavenly Demon. I am the old demon and you are the Heavenly Demon. It's so perfect for us to be together!"
…
"Destiny has changed."
On Mount Emei, feeling the changes in heaven, Changmei's mood was extremely complicated.
Although there have always been heroes who have tried one after another to control the destiny and use it, and although no one has completely succeeded, after so many years of hard work, everyone has also found a way to indirectly use the destiny.
But one thing is certain, that is, the secret will not change at will.
Although the Will of Destiny did not directly modify the identity of their extraterrestrial demons as Xiong Yan requested, it also set up a 'safe zone'.
Those inexperienced Qigong practitioners may only feel that the will of destiny has changed, and are surprised, but cunning and cunning ones like Changmei are thinking about another thing: How powerful must the extraterrestrial demon be? Give in to the will of destiny?
Is it possible to take advantage of such a powerful group or existence?
Can you make good use of this opportunity and use it to control the destiny?
Changmei thought for a while, then began to observe the secrets of the universe with Yuanshenhedao, and then he felt the significant progress in his cultivation.
Originally, long eyebrows were not far from the peak of the Heavenly Immortal (commonly known as the Golden Immortal), but in many cases, the difference between it and the peak of the Immortal Realm was just too small.
But at this moment, he could clearly feel the progress of Taoism, as if the peak of immortality was within reach, and he could directly break through with a little stretch of his hand.
Sure enough, Destiny's will was impatient. Thinking of this, Changmei calmed down and practiced seriously.
After more than a month, Kutoutuo, Miaoyi Zhenren Qi Shuming and Xuanzhenzi gathered together again. Looking at all the information collected in the past month, the three of them were in a somewhat unhappy mood at the moment.
Originally, there were very few immortals and powerful beings in the whole world of cultivation. The experience of each immortal and powerful being is a legend if you look closely.
Let’s not talk about the lineage of the old demons from Montenegro throughout the generations. The fact that their lineage can be passed down to this day is a legend in itself!
The chief ministers of the Ming Dynasty's cabinets in all dynasties, but they also relied on the national destiny and the blessing of the national destiny, and they were comparable to gods in a short period of time.
What about other than that?
Who else?
Yes, there are indeed some righteous ways. The masters of Buddhism have been reincarnated and cultivated through successive reincarnations and tribulations. It seems that their cultivation has reached the level of immortals. But how many years have they practiced hard? How many lives have they been reincarnated? How many opportunities have they received before they achieved success? Fairy?
In the original Shushan world, not everyone could ascend to the spiritual world. Anyway, there were those from the side sect who were still in the demonic realm, so they couldn't ascend.
But in today's world of Shushan and Black Mountain, if you don't ascend, you will suffer thunder disaster.
The loose immortals will suffer a thunder tribulation once every hundred years, and each time is more severe than the last. Therefore, if the loose immortals cannot break through in time, they will most likely die from the thunder tribulation.
Therefore, the loose immortals are very interested in joining the world to assist the imperial court. By assisting the imperial court, they can gain national fortune, and national fortune can be converted into magic power. With magic power, their strength will be enhanced, and then they can survive the thunder tribulation and become earth immortals. That way You can live happily for five hundred years!
Every five hundred years, the Earth Immortal will suffer another disaster. This time, it is not a thunder disaster, but a murder disaster. It is a murder disaster involving cause and effect.
Even the powerful immortals can only stay in this world for 1,500 years!
If you don’t leave when the time comes, there will be countless calamities waiting for you!
Why is it called calamity?
Because Tianxian is already a giant ant, it is very difficult to eliminate a Tianxian by coercive means.
Therefore, the will of destiny will often use the method of causal involvement and changes in heaven's secrets to eliminate an immortal who refuses to leave.
Direct forced killing saves time and is highly efficient, but the killing process itself consumes a lot of money.
Therefore, the catastrophe against the immortals is not a simple thunder catastrophe, nor a simple killing catastrophe, but a large-scale killing catastrophe targeting the immortals, their friends, and their relatives.
Such killings and robberies often have wide-ranging implications and can easily evolve into mass catastrophes and mass killings.
Over time, after fifteen hundred years of being in the world, the immortals will automatically ascend and leave, instead of staying in the human world.
Therefore, among the many monks in the entire human world today, there really are not many powerful immortals.
Like the senior master of the Qingcheng sect, a proper righteous master. In the original Shushan world, he was implicated and could not ascend. At a very old age, he still had to work hard as a nanny for the Emei sect.
But in today's hybrid world, people have long since ascended to the spiritual realm to enjoy their blessings.
There are also all the old monsters in the original work who have died over the years. When I ascended to heaven after preaching, half of those old monsters were dead.
Later, before Confucius and other disciples ascended, they basically had to take away a few old monsters.
Nowadays, there are very few immortals and old monsters in the demonic path.
Basically all the great monks at the immortal level of Buddhism have ascended and gone.
Coupled with the fact that the Black Mountain Old Demon is such a troublemaker, there are only a handful of immortal powers left in the world.
At least, according to the understanding of Qi Shuming and others, there are no more than ten immortals left in the world today, and this does not include the giants of the demonic path such as Youquan Blood Demon.
The reason for this change is mainly due to the rise of humanity!
The founding emperors of the past dynasties are basically strong men who have conquered an era and are invincible. In front of such strong men, any old monster of the demonic path, any master of the righteous path, or any great Buddhist sect are nothing!
Therefore, when the founding hero was still there, all the monks in the world were extremely honest. But when the founding hero died, the monks slowly started to behave.
"There is something new in Tantric Buddhism... (I won't type those two words because they cannot be typed out, and any typed words will be blocked). According to the rules of Tantric Buddhism, only those who have cultivated the soul of the Great Sun Tathagata can become the only ones."
of……."
"So, the previous generation... was Pasiba. In the intervening years, there has been no next generation of great monks. But now there is such a great monk who unites all factions of Tantric Buddhism. Now he is already a heavenly immortal!" Xuan Zhenzi
First, he shared the information he had obtained.
Kudutuo thought for a while and said: "I came into contact with this fellow Taoist three hundred years ago. At that time, he was a bit of a showman (that is, he didn't look very good on the outside at all, so I can only say that he was a showman). I didn't expect that he would be a showman again.
When I heard the news, I had already developed the spirit of the Great Sun Tathagata. This is a time when all things will change and there will be no end."
Immediately, Kudutuo's eyes became even more intense when he looked towards the Changmei retreat.
Even that kind of thing can successfully break through and become a heavenly immortal with the help of destiny and will. Then isn't the master, the best person in the world, expected to become a golden immortal?
"A few days ago, a big sun suddenly appeared above the capital. There were two days in the sky at that time, so that there was a lot of discussion in the capital. The chief minister of the cabinet finally successfully became a heavenly being."
"It's a pity that he doesn't understand the principle that profit cannot last forever. The stronger he is, the more vulnerable he is to setbacks and damage. Before he became an immortal, the local gentry could tolerate him, and the emperor could tolerate him as well. But after he became an immortal,
He will definitely die soon."
"If nothing goes wrong, he will definitely die in the next battle with the Black Mountain Old Demon. It's a pity, I have seen him from a distance. He is a real dragon among men. Even without the help of national luck,
If you practice slowly, you may not become a heavenly being one day, it's such a pity." Xuan Zhenzi said with a look of regret.
In the eyes of traditional Qi practitioners like Xuan Zhenzi, the court is the darkest place in the world. Any kind of good person who enters it will be stained black in a short time.
However, Xuan Zhenzi also had to admit that the most powerful figures in history were all in the imperial court.
Many prominent ministers of the cabinet basically have the possibility of becoming immortals, but they are not willing to practice slowly. Instead, they go directly to the center of the imperial court and become a trend-setter.
This is also the reason why many officials become lower and lower as they move up the ranks. In the end, when their families are ruined, they become Taoists instead.
It’s not that middle-aged and old people see through the world of mortals and it’s easier for them to enter Taoism. It’s that they were born with the seeds of Taoism, but now they are hopeless in the human world, so they start to follow the path of cultivating immortals and practicing Qi.
Hearing this, Qi Shuming slowly shook his head: "Brother, how many years have you been practicing? How many hardships have you gone through? How many life and death crises have you had?"
"I have been reincarnated three times since I started practicing, which is a thousand years in total. The hardships I have experienced in the process can only be said to be countless. As for life and death crises, there are too many, really too many."
"Then what level of cultivation are you at now?"
"Earth Immortal, after I met Master in this life, I was taught the Nine Heavens Mysterious Sutra by Master. Now I am an Earth Immortal. I also survived the Earth Immortal Killing Tribulation, and now I have accumulated two thousand years of mana in my body.
"
When he talked about two thousand years of mana, Xuan Zhenzi looked proud. But when he looked at his junior brother Qi Shuming, he couldn't be proud anymore.
This junior brother of mine is the real genius!
Immediately, Xuan Zhenzi understood what Qi Shuming wanted to say.
It has only been a few decades since Zhang Juzheng went from being a mortal to condensing the Great Sun Spirit and dominating the world.
Moreover, Zhang Juzheng has been a well-known child prodigy since he was a child. He was admitted as a Jinshi at the age of twenty-three. He ranked ninth in the second class and only three in the first class. In other words, in the Jinshi examination where elites from all over the country gathered, Zhang Juzheng directly passed the exam.
12th place.
Isn’t this more difficult than getting admitted to Qingbei University?
He started out as a shujishi, and soon he was favored by Xu Jie and became his student. After twenty years in the Hanlin Academy, he directly became the minister of the Ministry of official affairs and the bachelor of Dongge, and directly entered the cabinet.
.
After another six years, he became the chief minister of the cabinet.
It has been ten years since he served as regent as the chief minister of the cabinet.
You are a little maid, but you don’t feel that your own life is miserable, but that your master’s life is miserable. What are you thinking about?
Does Zhang Juzheng need your pity?
However, he was a senior brother after all, and it was difficult for Qi Shuming to explain clearly, so he just stopped there. After finding out that Xuan Zhenzi understood, he casually said: "Zhang Taiyue has no choice. The situation has reached today, he can only move forward and cannot retreat."
, However, you will reap melons if you sow melons, and you will reap beans if you sow beans. Everything is his own choice, and no one can blame him."
