But if there were good weapons that were convenient for mortals to use, it would be great to use them to defend the earth.
They can't defeat the demons and ghosts and the Qi-refining practitioners, but can't they deal with ordinary bandits, robbers, and wild beasts in the forest
That's a good idea.
Song Yin listened and nodded, "Okay, I'll leave this to you. Yao Ningqing..."
He looked at Yao Ningqing and said, "I appoint you as the chief clerk of Baishou City, in charge of the political affairs of the territory ruled by my Jinxian Sect. Zuo Yizhi, you will be in charge of the financial power."
To govern a place, you naturally need money. This money may not even be gold or silver, but it must circulate in the market and serve as a medium of exchange, and it must also be controlled.
otherwise
"During the household registration investigation, I discovered something."
Song Yin looked at them and said, "The prices are strangely rising. Zuo Yizhi, you have been in this city the longest. Do you know how much the prices are in the city after the death of the evil Pu De? Take the candied haws in the market as an example."
Zuo Yizi actually knew this. He used to be a businessman. After entering Baishou City, he naturally started to investigate the prices.
"My Lord, candied haws are two cents a string, rice is seven cents a pound, and pork is fifty cents a pound."
He listed the prices of goods in the city one by one.
"What about eating out?"
Wang Qizheng couldn't help but ask, "When we went to a restaurant before, we went to the 'Yuchunlou' for dinner. For five people, how much was a normal meal?"
That was the place where he was charged five taels for taking people out to eat.
"For five people in Yuchun Tower, two taels of silver is more than enough," Zuo Yizi said.
"Two taels? Damn it, I want five taels!"
Wang Qizheng gritted his teeth and said, "I knew that the prices were wrong. Brother, can I go and tear down the Yuchun Building?"
"no."
Song Yin shook his head and said, "The city has its own laws. If it is found that this is true, it is not your turn to intervene. The government will solve it themselves. Yao Ningqing, if it were you, how would you solve this matter?"
"this"
Yao Ningqing was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect to be asked so soon.
He thought for a moment and said, "Since immortals and mortals are one, the five taels of silver are not enough to demolish someone's restaurant. Just pay compensation. If a Golden Immortal sect member demolishes someone's restaurant, he will also be punished. I hope this great immortal will not be impulsive."
"you"
Wang Qi's eyes widened. What the hell, he's here right after taking office
He is the third senior brother of the Golden Immortal Sect. He was cheated when he opened a restaurant, and he is not allowed to demolish the restaurant
After all, you, the official, are appointed by the Jinxian Sect and the eldest senior brother. How can you use this to control them
But his senior brother was here, so not only could he not say anything, he also had to admit it obediently.
"Price gouging, illegal operations, forced buying and selling can be punished with fines, and serious crimes can also be subject to detention."
Yao Ningqing thought of a way, and then bowed to Song Yin and said, "How about this?"
Song Yin nodded, "But this time, we have to investigate it. Although I was born a savage, there is a saying that goes, 'No investigation, no right to speak.' Why did the restaurant raise the prices? And a candied haws went from two cents to five cents. Is there something wrong with that?"
Song Yin's eyes gradually became cold. "Find out. If anyone is hoarding food and other key supplies, kill them if you find them. Since we are protecting mortals, we must do our best. We can't say that we are here to consider mortals, while mortals are hoarding and dreaming of getting rich."
"For things like money, I allow you to fight for them through reasonable means, but you can't do that in a way that causes others to suffer losses, otherwise..."
Song Yin picked up the gavel and slammed it heavily on the table, "My Golden Immortal Sect also has thunderous means!"
“Hoarding.”
Zuo Yizi was stunned for a moment, as if he had thought of something.
"Oh? You knew?" Song Yin looked over.
"My Lord, maybe it is true. There are many wealthy businessmen among those who came from the north. They have a lot of wealth. When they come to a strange place, they will naturally try to gain a foothold. Stockpiling food and materials should be what they are good at. I am afraid that the rising prices in the city are related to them."
As he spoke, Zuo Yizhi knelt on the ground and said, "I was negligent and didn't pay attention to this. Please punish me, Master."
"It's normal for us to make some mistakes when we first enter the master's room. We haven't set some rules ourselves, so it's not your fault."
Song Yin shook his head and said, "Everyone, this Baishou City is a place of disorder. When we, the Jinxian Sect, took over, we didn't have time to come up with all those rules and regulations. I am just one person, and there are many things I can't pay attention to, so I need your help. Whether it's mortals or Qi cultivators, everyone wants the same thing. Mortals want stability and peace, and we want to help the world and save people. Not only do these things not conflict, but they can also unite together."
"Whether mortals live well or not is also related to the purpose of our Golden Immortal Sect. Don't think that if you rule a city or a territory, the mortals there will be able to make themselves better. That is unrealistic!"
He clenched his fists and said loudly, "Only by combining everything together can we create a paradise for mortals to live in this world full of evil ways, a place where we can realize our ambitions and practice our purpose! This Baishou City is our testing ground. I will personally participate and plan everything here. We can get started now. Only then can we truly rule the world!"
"The evil ways are not just about demons and ghosts, nor are they just about sects that absorb mortals. Among mortals, those who do not care about the lives of others and disrupt order with their own strength are also evil!"
"We must also eradicate this evil way. Only in this way can we succeed!"
He had a plan of what the Baishou City would look like. His encyclopedia introduced some information about the major countries.
But what is mentioned above is either the upper class or the sect, and it has nothing to do with mortals.
Brother Fu Qing also has his own limitations. Although he is fighting for a way out for mortals, he does not pay attention to the details of mortals and just brushes them over. Therefore, many things still need to be understood by Song Yin himself.
But this is not without benefits. The more you understand and the clearer it is, the more you will know what to do next.
He could go straight to the royal family of Nanping Kingdom, find the culprit, and kill the royal family of Beigao Kingdom along the way, but what would be the use
It will still be messy.
There are not many people in the Golden Immortal Sect. Even if these twenty or so people are all as great immortals as Song Yin, they cannot even make a splash in this world.
Therefore, they must cultivate an effective government that fits their Golden Immortal Sect and create a world where everyone is happy, so as to eliminate the soil for evil ways.
It doesn’t matter if there are many things to do. Just solve them one by one. As long as you keep moving forward, you will eventually finish them!
Only then will the master's legacy, the purpose of the Golden Immortal Sect, and Song Yin's wish to promote the righteous path be truly fulfilled!
