Chapter 710 – Knowing What You Want
Even more interestingly, Xu Duo, who was recognized as the most greedy and profit-seeking person in the world, as well as Lin Wuya, who was recognized as the most single-minded breakthrough person in the world, both disdained the Xuan Tian Grass that might still remain in the valley, and didn’t even have the heart to turn around and go over to check it out before leaving the ice cave with Mu Jianli.
They were both the most sober people, one clear about the pros and cons, and one with a clear sword heart. There is no need to check and know that the Xuan Tian Grass inside must be a problem, this entire environment is reborn as an evil spirit, and it is possible for you to grow a Heavenly Dao exotic treasure inside? Are you kidding.
Most of these grow Xuan Tian Grass under the ground are spread all over the evil spirit, grow out exactly what is considered a thing are two say, rather than Xuan Tian Grass is also said to be the evil evil grass it, and then tempting is useless ah.
Besides, Lin Wu Ya never thought that he needed such a thing to harmonize the Tao.
His Dao had long been characterized, and was only a layer of windowpaper away.
Mu Jian Li peeked at her own master, and it wasn’t until she left the ice cave and saw the light that she let out a breath and revealed a relaxed smile.
“What?” Lin Wu Ya coldly said, “Think Master would go and covet those things?”
“Uh ……” Mu Jian Li compensated with a smile, “No no ……”
“Everyone needs to recognize themselves, or at least know what they need and what they don’t want.” Lin Wu Ya glanced at the departing Xu Duo: “That bald fatso understands it well. The so-called untainted heart of the sword, the so-called emptiness of all laws, and the so-called clarity of pros and cons are in fact the same path. People like Xu Duo Duo don’t have a cave of emptiness, but there are just too many chores …… but this is exactly what he seeks, and it can be said that he seeks benevolence and obtains benevolence.”
Mu Jianli nodded slightly. She thought of Feng Lieyang, did he understand?
Perhaps he also understands that he is also seeking benevolence.
What everyone needs is different.
What about Xue Mu?
“What Xue Mu wants, Master may not understand it as well as you do, but I know that he has always had a clear understanding of himself, otherwise he wouldn’t be able to walk today. This is the Dao.”
“Yes.”
Master and disciple briefly ended their conversation, Lin Wu Ya’s gaze cast to the eastern sea, “The moment I killed Chang Tian Yuan, I found out where the person I’m looking for is, this is where I’m going, you heal yourself.”
Mu Jian Li wondered, “Master is looking for Void Pure? Could it be to stop his chaotic behavior?”
This is really unlike master ah, master would care about this?
“What does messing up the world or not have to do with me?” The corner of Lin Wuya’s mouth twitched, “The next time I find Xue Mu in trouble, you hide far away or I’ll even cut you down together.”
After saying that, he turned into sword light and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Mu Jian Li looked at the direction where the sword light disappeared in a daze, was Master looking for trouble with Void Pure or Xue Mu?
Mu Jian Li is a little torn, she is most afraid of the master and Xue Mu have a conflict …….
Aiya think so much for what, might as well hurry to Xue Mu report, here no star Luo array, have to find someone to fly to the line …… coincidentally also almost to the time of the spring festival, by the way, send a person to observe the ceremony?
“Under the Questioning Sword Sect, listen to the order.”
“Patriarch, we are in.”
“Guard all entrances to this cave, no one is allowed to enter until Xue Mu arrives.”
Several people were skeptical, “Xue …… Xue Mu would come to this shithole?”
Mu Jianli smiled, “Of course he will come.”
Since there was no Star Luo Formation in the vicinity, the news was not conveyed to Xue Mu’s ears so quickly.
These days were also the days when Xue Mu was lying drunk in the Forbidden Palace and was the most bloated.
Even Mo Xuexin lived in the palace, living from a sect leader who degraded herself into an imperial consort, but the emperor serves the same man with them every night What about …… the real emperor?
But the ministers were silent, no one dared to say a word about the chaos of the palace.
Most people also do not want to say, because these days the capital is almost visible to the eye began to prosper, Xiahou Di a series of several decrees, promote capable ministers, tax cuts, tax exemptions, improve the salaries of officials, redistribution of power and benefits, the benefits of the dynasty and the field of a piece of joy, who went to say that a little personal, looking for unhappiness?
Tax cuts and salary increases all need money, where does the money come from?
Copied hundreds of lords and nobles, property into the treasury, the emperor has never had a moment as now this rich, make Xiahou Di eyes blue oil staring at many officials, the eyes are like staring at a head of meat pig, pondering where to open the knife like, scared a lot of people took the initiative to run to hand over the stolen money, so Xiahou Di more money …… to take the treasury’s money to patch up! The court, pinching the upper and lower money bags of the emperor is even more words follow the law, so do more wacky decree.
The first decree is called Push Grace Order. In addition to the symbolic titles of the eight great clans, all other official titles can be passed on to their descendants, for example, if you are a duke, you can give two or three sons to inherit the title of marquis, and a dozen grandchildren to inherit the title of earl, and the cognacs will be divided accordingly, so that everyone will be happy.
Everyone knows that there is no such thing as a happy ending; within a few generations, the title will be gone. It’s impossible to have a hereditary succession like the one that has existed for thousands of years since the founding of the state …….
But now the emperor’s authority is too much, and the capital has been slaughtered to no more than a couple of masters, the other distribution of the place can not make any trouble, the decree on this into line.
The second decree is the government and the gentry one tax order, in the past Ji Wuxing these people’s restaurants and casinos do not tax is just, the most critical is the output of the forest land are not taxed, resulting in land dependence, the growing annexation, the people lost the basis of life, reduced to tenants, and the court is more and more can not collect what things. The government and the gentry to pay taxes as a whole, may not be a cure, but for this situation is effective for a temporary relief.
It was also a decree that would have provoked great resistance in ordinary times, but at the moment there was no problem.
It was always easier for a tyrant to do something than a benevolent ruler.
The third was a ban, members of the royal family were not allowed to have financial dealings with officials. Places such as the Garden of Forgetfulness, where the name was rented, but in actuality no one knew if it was privately owned by Ji Wuyou would no longer exist.
Coupled with the five-year tax exemption order for the white lands of Yizhou, the gift of land, mountains and forests, the gift of grain seeds and plants, and the call for population migration, the people who had been subjected to all kinds of oppression and annexation flooded into the thousands of miles of Yizhou, and the capital city and the surrounding affluent areas instantly went down with ease and combed out of their stripes.
Sandwiched amongst many of the new initiatives was a very interesting partition.
The ten miles around the northern outskirts of the capital, around the Questioning Pool, became Xue Mu’s fiefdom. There is not a single household or valuable land, it is just a pool without any aura, and after the fiefdom Xue Mu did not build a palace there, he just took his sisters for a day of bathing ……
This strange edict is also in the people’s head shaking in disbelief, not a ripple.
In fact, Xiahou Di does not know why Xue Mu wants this pool, only know that it is something that Xue Mu wants …… District a pool, of course, send him la ……
Time quickly came to the day before the spring festival.
The capital became more and more lively, the world’s officials to the capital audience, to participate in the spring festival, but also includes the eight major clans representatives, even when Ji Qingyuan reign of the spring festival did not have this face, now Xiahou Di’s authority can be imagined.
The big clans are not to the emperor’s face, not because the new emperor is previously responsible for the Jianghu matter of the former Xiahou Chief Constable, and not completely to Xue Mu face, but the newspaper’s role in the propaganda really show the terrible effect.
The authority of the first is to deter out, the second is to do practical things out, this third, of course, is propaganda out.
This time Xue Mu is in the capital journalism station, looking at Li Xiaorui write propaganda: “…… emperor heard An Guo Gong and other fish and flesh people, the Jinji cry, the sound of blood, can not help but angry hair, crown cracked, angry eyes angry scolding said: the thieves of the people, when my sword is not favorable to it! Around advised that: fear of shaking the national capital. The emperor said: for the people, that is, the state also! Even if the dragon carriage crumbles, I will be!”
“God damn crowns and crowns are cracked ……” Xue Mu was sighing, but did not object. How to see these things are really do not need to teach themselves, not only than their own can brag, this rendering is also very touching, and this writing is also very considerable …… Where is still a martial arts world, early all crooked to a hundred thousand eight hundred thousand miles to go ……
There is nothing to be overtaken by the loss, what they want is not this?
