The challenge in front of the palace turned into a farce, and the impact was not great, but some people in the imperial capital had more conversations after dinner.
On the contrary, Li Dai was deducted half a year's salary afterwards.
But Li Dai didn't care, for him, a steamed bun, a bowl of water, and a rusty sword were enough.
This is a very pure person who lives in his own world, in the world of swords.
As for Xu Baimei who came fiercely but left abruptly, not many people cared about it.
Maybe he has a high reputation in Daxia, but here is Dayao.
…
A week later, the imperial court officially announced the details of the wealth tax, and Ren Baqian interviewed the heads of some wealthy families. Although there were still objections, they were forcefully suppressed.
In Dayao, there were two voices, one was the Empress, and the other was Ren Baqian.
No one dared to question the former's dominance over the ancient clan.
And Ren Baqian's reputation in Jing Clan and Izumo is also extremely high.
Therefore, under the forceful implementation, the matter of wealth tax was pushed down.
As for whether anyone dared to cover up the data in the tax declaration later, Ren Baqian didn't bother to think about it. Anyway, he caught one and dealt with it. For this reason, he even recruited elite troops to add investigation and force departments to the Finance and Taxation Department.
At that time, I will let everyone know that I can do anything and never owe money to the court.
"Master, the little Luoli who has been with you for the longest time every day is here!" There were two flashes in the air, and Luoli in a cool swimsuit but with a washboard figure appeared in the air.
"Tell me if you have any news." Ren Baqian didn't raise his head.
"It's really... perverted indifference!" Luoli pouted.
Ren Baqian finally looked up at her, thoughtfully: "These words from your mouth are not convincing at all. Besides, I haven't heard these words before. Recently, I have a feeling that your intelligence has grown again. gone?"
"Master, are you going to slice me up?" Luoli shrank back.
"Do you want a body?" Ren Baqian asked back.
"You really want to slice me up!" Little Luoli was shocked.
"Forget it!"
"Yes, of course, you can look as you like..." A figure flashed in the air, turning into a girl with iron armor and glasses who bulged forward and turned backward.
"Cough, Erha is more suitable for you." Ren Baqian's face darkened, he subconsciously glanced at the door, then turned his head and said angrily.
"Forget it, I'll think about it again. If you have any news, let's talk."
"Alright, we have found the home of the Earth Spirit Tribe." The Iron Armored Glasses Girl said in a cold voice.
The Zixiao star is very big, and it took a lot of time to find the location of a race even if it wanted to take pictures in the sky.
"It's pretty good at learning." Ren Baqian didn't pay much attention to the other party's eagerness to learn, with a happy expression on his face.
"Pass the data over."
A map appeared in the air, and then a point was marked.
Ren Baqian made an estimate first. It is very far away from the Two Realm Walls, probably in the middle and west of Outland.
The last time the Earth Spirit Clan walked for nearly two years before arriving.
Of course, the opponent is moving forward with a large army. If there are a few masters, they can arrive in two or three months at most.
"Zoom in and see the details."
Following the instructions, the screen began to gradually zoom in, and a large group of mountains became bigger and bigger, and occasionally a small dot could be seen, which was an extremely huge beast.
"The environment is somewhat similar to the 60,000 mountains. Hey, these mountains... look like a circle." Ren Baqian could see its special features at a glance, as if a pair of big hands had arranged those mountains into a circle. A barrier was formed outside.
Due to the overlapping mountains, it may be difficult to detect it in person, but it can be seen at a glance from a high altitude.
Inside, there are countless towering peaks, like sharp swords.
"Jian Linping!" Ren Baqian spat out these three words.
That's right, these peaks in the middle are very close to Jianlin Ping outside the 60,000 Mountains.
"Continue!" Ren Baqian pressed these two questions to the bottom of his heart.
The screen continued to zoom in, and soon everything became clear, and there were altars on the peaks.
And around the sword peaks are many Earth Spirit tribes.
"What is the approximate number of Earth Spirit Race?"
"There are 22 large-scale settlements, each with a population of tens of thousands, 342 medium-sized settlements, each with a population of 3,000, and small settlements close to 7,000, each with a population of 300 to 500 Between them, the total number is about 4 to 4.5 million, regardless of men, women, old or young can fight, but there are more than 2 million fighters, of which there are about 400,000 above the Good Fortune Heaven."
"This is the middle race!" Ren Baqian sighed softly.
There are 400,000 Good Fortune Heavenly Warriors. According to the ratio of these alien races, there are at least 20,000 Supreme Heavenly Warriors, and there are also a thousand Longevity Heavenly Warriors.
However, there is a strange god in the Earth Spirit Tribe, whose combat strength is lower than that of the same level, and the proportion of being among the top existences of the middle races may be even higher.
While the human race has a population of billions, there are only tens of thousands of Heavenly Warriors, and there are only more than a hundred people in Changshengtian.
"From the Two Worlds Wall to the area of the Earth Spirit Race, calculate a route to avoid those powerful races as much as possible. Continue to do what was arranged before. I want all the information of the alien races, especially the wars between the alien races." Ren Baqian stared at the picture for over an hour before slowly giving instructions.
Although it is not ready yet, the route can be planned and calculated first.
Then Ren Baqian flipped through some other pictures, and all the important cities in Outland, including Wugou City, were all photographed.
In addition, there is the distribution of the main races in Outland, which is a relatively large project and is expected to take at least several months to complete.
With these things, at least they have a certain understanding of the situation of the alien race, so that no matter whether they formulate plans or countermeasures in the future, they will not be aimless.
Now we still have to wait for the progress of the research institute's research on the Earth Spirit Race.
As for the relationship between different races, maybe there is something that can be used.
…
As soon as Ren Baqian finished giving instructions about the Earth Spirit Clan, before he could lower his head, he heard a voice.
"Your Highness, Izumo has reported that Guang'an City Commander has been assassinated." A voice said outside the door.
"The city order was assassinated?" Ren Baqian frowned, the city order is the master of the city, and Guang'an is not a small city, so the assassination of the city order is not a trivial matter.
"Come forward and talk, is Liu Xiang the Guang'an city order? Is he dead? Was it done by the remnants of the former Izumo dynasty? There are still remnants?"
"What happened this time has nothing to do with the remnants of the previous dynasty..."
"What's going on?" Ren Baqian asked.
He holds the Guard Captain's Mansion in his hands, so the news is naturally well-informed, no matter what news it is, it will immediately spread to him layer by layer.
"There is a warrior named Wu Xian in Guang'an, who is quite famous in the local area."
"Continue." Ren Baqian thought for a while, but he had never heard of this name.
"This Wu Xian is twenty-six years old this year. He has the strength of the Earth and Embryo Realm. He is tall and handsome, and has a reputation as a hero. Therefore, he is extremely popular. Many people admire his reputation as a hero."
Ren Baqian looked straight down, waiting for the next sentence.
I have some doubts in my heart.
"Earlier when he went to a restaurant, the others stood up and respected him. One student treated him like nothing and talked and laughed freely. When people who admired him saw him, they stabbed him to death in the alley after the student left the restaurant.
The Guang'an City Order ordered Wu Xian to be reprimanded, and if there was another incident, he would be asked to move out of Guang'an.
Afterwards, the assassination of the Guang'an City Order happened. The person who assassinated the Guang'an City Order was Wu Xian's admirer. Guang'an Chengling was seriously injured, and the minister was already in critical condition when he received the news. "
"If that Wu Xian really did something chivalrous, and he didn't know about it, he should be innocent." Ren Baqian shook his head slightly.
Since it is not a disorderly party, then this is a trivial matter, and it is not worth spreading to yourself.
But since it was passed to him, there must be another hidden story.
"According to rumors, the person who assassinated the Guang'an city emissary had a good relationship with Wu Xian's younger brother. He had leaked it to him before, but Wu Xian's younger brother, Wu Jun, has never been able to hide his words. He would tell Wu Xian about anything. Should be known.
Moreover, Wu Xian was very brave and fierce in his early years, and he was often seriously injured and disabled when he competed with others. Although he has restrained a little in recent years, he often repays hatred with kindness, but his heart is extremely cruel, and he often rages and hurts others because of trivial things. "
"So, he knew about it a long time ago, but he didn't stop it? Is there any evidence?"
"No, but I dare to guarantee with my name that everything is true."
Ren Baqian closed his eyes and pondered for a moment: "The memorial of the Guang'an City Order is probably different from what you said, so you specially reported it to me?"
"His Royal Highness, it is clear! The Guang'an city decree was attacked, and now Zhishou is in charge, and Zhishou and Wu Xian are old, so naturally they will not report the truth."
"Is Liu Xiang a member of your Lingshan sect?" Ren Baqian snorted softly.
"Your Highness, it is clear! Although Liu Xiang is a disciple of my Lingshan Sect, everything I said is true, and there is absolutely no falsehood."
"If it is indeed as you said..." Ren Baqian's eyes flashed coldly.
Over the past few years, Dayao has undergone great changes in the country, with advanced information and convenient communication. With the emergence of local newspapers, TV, and the network that is being prepared one by one, some things that should have and should not have also emerged.
For example, Wu Xian's admirers are actually not only him, but many warriors will have them, especially some young warriors with outstanding appearance and high strength. Their admirers are turning into fan groups on Earth.
This is not a good phenomenon.
In particular, some people will guide and incite these admirers to do something in private. Although they don't show up, they are for their own benefit, and if they don't get it right, they will cause trouble.
This time the opportunity is right, then kill the chicken to make an example to the monkey, and the ground must be covered with blood, so that others can learn a lesson.
Know what to do, what not to do, what to touch and what not to touch.
And since they have this reputation, they have to do things that conform to their reputation.
This is what it means to wear a crown and bear its weight.
For example, this Wu Xian really thought that it would be all right if he was taken out
"However, a disciple of your Lingshan Sect was attacked and killed by an admirer of a warrior. Your Lingshan Sect has suffered from mud and sand all these years!"
The people below were suddenly shocked.
"Forgive me, Your Majesty. I will send a letter to the elders of the sect to close the mountain for three years from now on, and carefully discipline the disciples."
He knew in his heart that what Ren Baqian was referring to was not Liu Xiang's being attacked and killed, but the disciples of the Lingshan School who were blooming everywhere, occupying high positions and intertwined, this one in front of him was a little displeased.
The three-year closure of the mountain is just a talk, and the next step is to pay attention to the situation of the disciples in the sect becoming officials.
Lingshan faction has been upholding itself all these years, and he has always been impartial, His Highness has only tolerated it until now.
But if you don't know the fun, the unlucky one is yourself, and the whole Lingshan faction!
