When the dignitaries who came to meet him all left one after another. The atmosphere in the entire hall suddenly became extremely solemn.
Feng Taiji and Zhao Yanran both looked at Zong Shou with livid faces and a bit of confusion.
Before, I was giving this guy face, and I didn't want this person from Yuanlian Realm to see the differences between them.
Therefore, he never spoke to interrupt Zong Shou's questioning.
At this time, the outsiders were no longer around, so naturally it was time to settle accounts.
"Your Majesty is so generous. The national tax has been reduced by a full 30%!"
Even after the battle in the deep underground lake a few years ago, Feng Taiji's temperament has become much calmer. At this time, his words could not help but contain a hint of sarcasm.
As for the voluntary matters of the countries, he was even more lazy to talk about it.
"And these kings chosen by your Majesty are all outstanding people in the Yuanlian world, and they are very ambitious. Once people of this generation come into power, they will definitely not be willing to be manipulated by others!"
There is a hint of worry in the words. Surrounded by a pack of wolves, Zong Shou just didn't find it troublesome enough.
Zong Shou smiled heartlessly: "Brother Feng, what use is this national tax to us? In the current situation, it may be useful?"
Feng Taiji raised his eyebrows, Jiujing layman collected civilian taxes to support the army.
Without a large army, it would be difficult to resist the invasion of surrounding countries.
Immediately, a thought occurred to them. For them, these taxes were really of little use.
There are only 300,000 soldiers, even if they are temporarily recruited in Yuanlian Realm. After being oppressed for hundreds of years, the people are in dire straits. Also very loyal.
Like the layman Jiujing, he recruited soldiers from his original small world.
Now most of them have been taken away by those spiritual monks who escaped.
"Looking at these seven countries alone, they really need to recuperate and let them take a breather. Furthermore, the people of the seven countries are now panicked. How can someone other than such a hero stabilize the situation within a month? Only mediocrity. I only know that It's good to be submissive. But now, we are in a situation. But there are dangers everywhere - "
I know that Feng Taiji is a very smart person, so he protects the sect. Just hit the mark, not much to say.
Feng Taiji was also deep in thought, his eyes not wandering, and a bit of understanding flashed through him.
That’s really the case! In addition to talent, the people selected by Zong Shou all have the same characteristics - they hold great power and have sufficient resources and connections.
It is indeed possible to control the overall situation, unite people's hearts and resist foreign aggression in the shortest possible time.
So the tax is 20%. But it’s also quite meaningful—
"This test is good, but it can only cope with the present. There will still be some hidden dangers in the future. How will we control these seven countries in the future?"
"Why do we need to control them? Just make these people willing to work for us."
Zong Shou laughed: "It's not up to them!"
Feng Taiji thought that it was true. The 20% tax restored the morale of the people of the seven countries.
It also made the new masters of the seven countries have to try their best,
Now that he has become the king of a country, his status is noble, but he has completely lost his room for change.
If Daqian withdraws from the Yuanlian world. Then their ministers might be able to survive. The seven monarchs headed by He Daoren had no hope of survival.
Even if it means your own life, you still need to do your best to cooperate.
As for the future, if Yuanlian Realm gets it, there is no need to care about these seven people -
I thought that this was probably the difference between him and Zong Shou. Although this guy claimed to be not good at scheming, he was tolerant of others. He is also good at taking advantage of the general trend and makes people work for him regardless of whether they are willing or not.
Compared to this one, Feng is indeed a bit narrow-minded.
No wonder this person has achieved such a foundation in just a few years.
Shaking his head slightly, Feng Taiji felt the lump in his chest finally subsided.
However, there is one more thing that still needs to be considered carefully.
"That's all, but Feng Taiji really doesn't know why our Sword Sect wants to establish a mountain and recruit disciples in this Yuanlian world?"
Zhao Yanran also snorted coldly: "And I, the common people, when will it be your turn to make the decision?"
In fact, with his status as Zong Shou, he can naturally take charge.
But to accept someone from the Yuanlian world as a disciple is unthinkable.
But Zong Shou blinked in confusion, and looked at the two of them in shock.
"Aren't you two alone? Ci Fang has already selected a site in Yuanlian Realm and is preparing to open ten Zen monasteries in one go
Feng Taiji raised his eyebrows. He had heard a little bit about this matter, but what does this have to do with them accepting disciples
Zong Shou then asked with a smile: "Then let me ask you again, why are you here? Is the expedition to other worlds to plunder resources, or is it to strengthen the foundation of the sect? After taking this world, how to defend it? Is Yuan Lian Outside the world, Jian Zong is not going to do any further development?"
The population of the Cloud Realm is very limited. I really want to be like the Lu family and dominate the eight hundred worlds. Inevitably, countless monks and countless armies are needed.
The power of the Cloud Realm alone cannot provide it.
Feng Taiji was stunned and apparently woke up.
I haven’t thought much about continuing to explore the outer lands.
But it would not be bad if we could always gain something like Yuanlian Realm.
The power of the Seven Sects of Sword Sect can still take care of a Yuanlian Realm.
However, if there is some foundation in this world, it will undoubtedly reduce the pressure on the sect.
Disciples from this world can also be chosen on a merit basis—
Speaking of which, the same is true for Buddhism.
Thinking of this, he still frowned: "People from the Yuanlian Realm have different physiques from my people from the Yun Realm."
"Much the same!"
Zong Shou shook his head. He had always suspected that the people from the Yun Realm might also have moved in from outside the realm.
Why are human races so similar
There is almost no difference between the Lu family and the people in the Yun Realm.
"With Brother Feng's ability, you shouldn't be troubled by this technique?"
Feng Taiji's teeth ached when he heard this, and his complexion turned green and white. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "I will also ask the elders in Qiong Realm and the sect for instructions before making a decision."
If the Yunjie side really agrees, this cultivation method will also need to give headaches to the saint-level and god-level experts in the sect.
I secretly felt something was wrong in my heart. Coming here with Zong Shou was just a small attempt by Jian Zong. Just to see if we can plunder some resources from the outside world to benefit the sect.
Why, at this moment, something seems to have changed.
Zong Shouze smiled, most people above the Jian Zong spiritual realm have traveled to the outside world, and their knowledge is much wider than that of Feng Taiji. Then he looked at Zhao Yanran: "There are no Taoist or Confucian sects in the Yuanlian world. There are not many places where Taoism can spread among the people. Isn't the environment here suitable for the spread of your religion? If we can take over Yuanlian, Gu Ke will put one of the states under the control of Cang Sheng Dao."
Zhao Yanran had a troubled look on her face. She had no interest in the teachings of Cangshengdao.
But I know that if those fellow disciples of the common people know these words, they will definitely be ecstatic and even more excited.
Even the elders want to be happy. Most likely, he would be greatly comforted and fall in love with Zong Shou even more.
After thinking for a long time and unable to find a reason to refute, Zhao Yanran finally shook her head with a strange look on her face.
"It's about tax cuts, about recruiting disciples, and about exchanging spiritual objects. How do you feel that this time we are not here to conquer the Yuanlian world, but are here specifically to do good deeds?"
Fortunately, she had been prepared a month ago. If necessary, a mass killing will be carried out in Yuanlian Realm.
She, Zhao Yanran, never lacks Shura means.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I, Da Qian, have always loved the people like sons and established the country with benevolence and filial piety. Since the seven Yuanlian countries have become vassals, the people of their countries should also treat them as their own subjects. How can I carry out the harvest? thing?"
Zong Shou heard this with a straight face and a sonorous tone, as if he was very angry at Zhao Yanran's words. He also had a righteous look on his face.
"Yanran, you need to remember that I, Dagan, cannot bear the suffering of the people of Yuanlian Realm, so I came all the way to save the people of Yuanlian Realm from the sea of suffering. What is it called? By the way, it is liberation! Even if we harvest 20% To pay taxes, take some spiritual stones, which are also necessary to expel evil spirits."
Feng Taiji couldn't help laughing: "So your Majesty, you are planning to open a market under Yuanjing Palace?"
First time feeling. This King of Daqian is really interesting.
They clearly came here for plunder, but they said it as if they were righteous.
I roughly understand Zong Shou's intention, and just because I want to take advantage of the great righteousness, I can only act in this way.
At this time, he no longer had any objection. Jiujing's previous practice was to have the seven countries pay tribute regularly.
Zong Shou's approach was undoubtedly much smarter. Bartering is said to be the exchange of things of equal value.
But they still have the final say on how to set the price.
Furthermore, things that are scarce elsewhere are ordinary in the Yuanlian world. There are many things that Yuanlian Realm does not have in Yun Realm.
By exchanging what you have, you can make a lot of money just by earning the price difference.
He vaguely understood that although Zong Shou's method was gentler, it could not completely control Yuanlian Realm like Jiu Jing could. But it is more obscure. The final harvest may not be worse than Jiujing.
Gradually, my heart became calm, and it seemed to be a good idea to act like this.
"Of course!"
Zong Shou nodded slightly proudly, with a teachable expression.
If you can use gentle methods to plunder property, why do you have to be stained with blood and fight to the death
He laughed again: "In fact, Gu is acting like this for the sake of your three religions. Since you are participating, Gu will naturally take care of you more! If you don't win the hearts of Yuanlian people, how can you spread the teachings?"
There is quite a bit of appreciation in my words that you should remember to appreciate.
Zhao Yanran was speechless, right at this moment. Outside the door of the palace, Ci Fang stepped inside and saluted solemnly: "Your Majesty is so kind, I, the Buddhist family, can't thank you enough!"
He looked at Zong Shou with a complicated expression. When I came here before, I was still worried.
At this moment, it is certain that Buddhism will flourish in Yuanlian Realm.
It is indeed a blessing for Buddhism to meet such a king.
At the same time, within the cloud world.
Kong Rui walked out of the house in astonishment and looked above. That was the huge silver dragon that was soaring and circling, with its head held high and dragon roars that could be heard all over the place. Next to the giant dragon is the phoenix shadow—
"Dragon Qi is blazing? It doesn't seem right -"
Kong Rui picked up the Wen Wang Gua money and looked at it carefully, and then his expression became increasingly weird.
"Your Majesty, what did he do in the outer realm? To cause dragons and phoenixes to sing together?" (To be continued) RQ
