Jiang Mansion.
Jiang Yuyan sat in the main seat.
Below, the Nanhai Divine Nun and several disciples were kneeling in a row.
I have to say that this Nanhai Shenni is quite good at recruiting apprentices, and all of them are as beautiful as flowers.
"Murong Xian, I heard that you told your senior sister that you would spit on me when you see me. Now you got what you wanted? Why don't you spit on me now?" Jiang Yuyan said with a smile.
Murong Xian's eyes widened immediately, he looked at the eldest sister, hesitated for a moment, and said directly to Jiang Yuyan: "Bah!"
Then the saliva flew right back into her face.
Murong Xian:......
"Xiang Fairy, what moves do you have, come at me!" Xiao Yu'er from behind shouted quickly.
Jiang Yuyan casually sealed his throat with a silver needle.
A useless man, not worthy of talking to her.
"Nan Hai Shenni, you have seen the faces of those people clearly today. What do you think now?"
Nanhai Shenni straightened his chest: "The winner is the king, the loser is the bandit, I have nothing to say. I just hope that the commander will give me and these disciples a happy time for the sake of us being women."
All the disciples were stunned:? ? ?
Nanhai Shenni is now looking forward to death. She can't imagine what kind of torture the disciples will suffer if they fall into the hands of those rich and powerful men with their appearance.
After listening to this, Jiang Yuyan looked at these little girls, began to think, and tapped her fingers on the table.
She is so beautiful, wouldn’t it be a pity not to give Brother Le a bath and massage?
"Winter, winter~"
Every tap on the table seemed to hit the hearts of these people, making them uncomfortable and difficult to breathe.
Murong Xian's legs tightened and he even wanted to pee.
Only when they really face death do they understand the beauty of life.
Acting chivalrously? It turns out it was all a scam by adults.
After a while, Murong Xian finally couldn't help it and cried loudly: "Wow~"
After a while, the baby-like face was covered with tears, which were mixed with the saliva just now. Coupled with the delicate skin, it had a different kind of fun.
At least Miao Le, who was nibbling on the chicken drumsticks next to him, watched it with gusto and started eating!
Jiang Yuyan looked at the girl amusedly, and then at Xiao Yu'er whose anxious eyes were bloodshot behind her, and suddenly had an idea.
She was actually too lazy to care about outside affairs. Whether it was good or bad had nothing to do with her, it was just her sudden interest.
Even she practiced martial arts just to protect herself. Now that she has the power to protect herself, why is she so tired?
Wouldn't it be more interesting to stay at home, play the piano, practice cultivation, and grab food with Brother Le?
She waved her hand and took out the silver needle from Xiao Yu'er's throat. After he coughed a few times, Jiang Yuyan asked slowly: "Do you want to stay and fly with Murong Xian?"
Xiao Yu'er's heart sank, and without hesitation, she said loudly: "I want to!"
"Well, work for me and supervise the gentry to complete the tasks assigned to them. When the tasks are completed, you and Murong Xian will be free."
Murong Xian cried so hard that when she heard this, she quickly shouted in a sweet voice: "Xiao Yu'er, don't listen to this big devil. Isn't it just death? I'm not afraid!"
The little girl is very cute and naive.
Jiang Yuyan glanced at her: "Do you want to urinate at this time? Do you believe it or not? I will throw you at the door and let the guards in royal robes see how such a beautiful daughter urinates? Let them see how the fairy urinates. Are their things different from others?”
Murong Xian paused and looked at Jiang Yuyan with wide eyes in horror, as if he was looking at a real big devil.
"Okay! I'll listen to you!" Xiao Yu'er agreed quickly.
If the goddess in his heart was treated like this by Jiang Yuyan, he felt like he would go crazy.
"Haha, Shan Zuo, you lead one hundred Jin Yiwei, and Mr. Xiao Yu'er will temporarily command you. If you do something good, I will give you three Yuan Building Pills!" Jiang Yuyan chuckled and gave the order directly.
Upon hearing the reward, Shan Zuo was overjoyed: "Yes!"
"Take these little cuties down first, no one is allowed to touch them without permission."
"yes!"
After a while, Xiao Yu'er took over the plan from Jiang Yuyan's hand and glanced at it casually. She was shocked. I am afraid that only a peerless strong person like her could have the strength to integrate the entire Suzhou gentry.
"I hope Fairy Xiang will keep her word."
"Don't worry, I like these cute little girls more than you do."
Xiaoyuer:......
He felt that his wife seemed to have entered a bigger devil's pit, but think about what two women could do?
At most, wouldn’t it be just smeared with saliva?
…
Suzhou, the governor's office.
A clean plaque hangs on the mighty and upright yamen, with four big characters painted in iron and silver hooks on it: The mirror hangs high!
This plaque is hung here to show that the officials of this government make fair decisions and enforce the law strictly.
In the hall, the prefect, Kuang Ning, was sitting at the head of the table in an upright manner, enjoying the dance of several singers in the hall.
It is the lifelong dream of most scholars to win the Donghua Roll Call and become a Jinshi in high school. Being an official, making decisions for the people, and asking for orders from the people are the ambitions of most scholars when they are studying.
But Jinshi was assigned to Suzhou after high school, which was lucky or unfortunate for him.
Unfortunately, this place is completely under the control of aristocratic families. He wants to do anything, even if he wants to see the faces of those gentry first.
If they offend them, they have too many ways to make themselves fail in the court performance evaluation, or even cause their civilian servants to riot and go to jail.
Fortunately, within a few months of coming here, he passed numerous tests from the wealthy families: money, beauty, and power.
Then, as long as he lay still, he would get excellent grades every year.
Flood prevention and disaster relief, tax payment, field census, etc. will all be handled with care by him. The only thing he has to do is to be a stamped tool man.
Even for an official like him, the emperor would see people asking for orders, saying that he was the great master of Qingtian, and allowed him to continue to serve as the prefect and the guardian of the side.
"Hey!" Kuang Ning sighed, too lazy to think about it anymore, and continued to watch the singers dance.
What should I do if I have such a comfortable life and can't sleep due to so many thoughts?
After a while, the master hurriedly walked in and whispered a few words.
Kuang Ning was stunned, waved his hand, and the singers retreated obediently.
"You said those wealthy families have converted all their slave registrations into farm registrations? In the future, they will hire farmers to farm their families' fields? And the land tax is only 30%? Is it still calculated based on the harvest of that year?"
"They also said that in the future, taxes in Suzhou will be calculated based on fields. Whose fields will pay the taxes?"
After hearing the news, Kuang Ning was dumbfounded. He had never seen anything since he became the prefect, but he had never seen anything so outrageous.
He really couldn't understand what these tycoons were doing now. The money they lose every year by doing this may be a huge amount. Are they crazy?
Who is it?
Kuang Ning's mind suddenly turned to the new commander he had visited. Although he had never seen the fairy's face, his facial features and temperament were otherworldly.
How can such a fairy-like figure be so courageous?
"Sir, it is now widely spread that the new commander, 'Fairy Yuyan', has unrivaled martial arts skills and is the best in the world. The gentry in Suzhou all worshiped her. In order to bring blessings to the fairy, they took the initiative to exempt themselves from slavery and were willing to pay taxes for the common people. ." Master continued.
"I also heard that the gentry are planning to set up a chamber of commerce. This chamber of commerce will set unified specifications and prices for all goods in the Suzhou market. In the future, farmers who plant orchards and raise silkworms can also get better prices."
"Furthermore, this chamber of commerce will organize shipping on a regular basis. As long as you are a Suzhou businessman, you can trade with the ship."
…
After hearing these regulations, Kuang Ning was really eye-opening.
If these measures can really be implemented, big players will definitely lose a lot. After all, the original monopoly business has become a shared one.
But the lives of ordinary people in Suzhou are far better than before. Among other things, the prices of agricultural products produced with hard work have gone up, and there are no longer so many exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and they can even save some grain every year.
Does Jiang Yuyan still want to be a saint?
"Master, our Ming Dynasty prohibits shipping." The master next to him reminded.
Kuang Ning glanced at him sideways. Didn't he have any idea why the Ming Dynasty banned shipping?
If the government goes into shipping, how can they, the big coastal households, still make money? What are the reasons for those who strongly oppose official shipping?
A huge expense with no profit.
The other coast has a strong wall and clear wilderness to prevent pirates.
Isn't this nonsense? If there is no profit, why are the big players building ships one after another?
pirate? Those pirates were probably raised by the wealthy families themselves, and they might even be their own family members.
"If the people don't help, the officials won't investigate!" After saying this, Kuang Ning staggered away with his hands behind his back.
As long as the common people didn't riot and rebel, it didn't matter to him.
Whoever achieves success will not be blamed on the Suzhou Prefect?
He completely understood this official.
…
Hangzhou Prefecture, official road.
Su Ying drove the carriage slowly toward Guishan, which was the home of her mother and her mother, and the best memory of her mother and father.
From time to time, fast horses pass by.
Raising a horse costs a lot of money, so those who can ride a fast horse must be experts, and only they can easily obtain money through various methods.
"Have you heard? That Jiang Yuyan is called the best master in the world, and he is not even eighteen years old!"
"How is that possible? Even if you start practicing martial arts from your mother's womb, you won't be that strong, right?"
"Then you don't know, that Jiang Yuyan cracked the secret of the Liuren Divine Dice, the most precious treasure in the world, and obtained an unparalleled magical skill: transplanting flowers and trees, and became the best in the world in just a few months!"
"So exaggerated?"
"Yes, it's such an exaggeration. Nowadays, many masters are asking for martial arts advice. I heard that Wudang and Shaolin, the great martial arts schools in the world, think that this kind of martial arts is harmful to the world and should be handed over to them for safekeeping!"
"Isn't this like being a bitch and building a memorial arch?"
"Hahaha~"
…
Su Ying's carriage gradually stopped as she listened to the heated discussion of the martial arts people passing by.
"What's wrong?" asked the white-haired Su Ru.
Su Ying frowned: "I feel something is wrong, the news about Sister Yuyan spread too fast. She is still the best in the world, and she is trying to replace others with others. Isn't this obviously a flattery and trying to put her on the opposite side of everyone in the world?"
Su Ru nodded: "Indeed."
Su Ying was anxious. She had mixed feelings towards Sister Yuyan, who admired, envied, and loved her. She was also a rare friend she had at this time.
With her temperament, how could she just watch her being attacked.
"Mother, I want to go back." Su Ying thought for a moment and said firmly.
Su Ru looked at her daughter with a smile. She had the same temperament as she did back then, and she couldn't get back what she decided.
"Have you decided? You may die."
Su Ying lowered her head: "Mom, I'm sorry, you can only go back by yourself."
Su Ru smiled and said: "Yuyan saved my life, but am I the kind of person who never repays my kindness? Let's go back together and let those Jianghu people once again recall the fear of being dominated by poison!"
"Yeah!" Su Ying turned the horse's head happily.
"drive!"
…
"The Commander is such a good person! If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have dared to set up a stall. In the past, it was a crime for goods to leave the village! The prices were all determined by those bastards, and we suffered a huge loss."
"Yes, yes, Fairy Yuyan is Master Qingtian! Oh, oh, oh, why didn't my poor daughter survive until this time!"
"What's the use of bragging here? I've already set up a memorial tablet for immortality at home? By the way, do you want one of the guardian beasts next to Mr. Qingtian?"
Tie Xinlan was walking on the street, looking at the vivid kitten made of bamboo, and felt deeply confused.
How could the female devil, who had not been out for a few days and was still being shouted at and killed by everyone, turned into a fairy again?
Not only the low-level merchants and farmers praised her, but even the scholars praised her, wishing they could say she was a fairy descended from heaven.
Evil cannot prevail over good? She suddenly understood the meaning of this sentence.
What is righteousness? The winner is right!
…
Jiang Mansion, study room.
After Jiang Yuyan finished playing the piano, she was playing Go with Brother Le in the study. Of course, she had to bet something.
Whoever loses takes off some clothes.
Of course, the little yellow cat doesn't have any clothes, so if he loses, he can just pluck out his hair.
Of course Miao Le was very excited. After all, he would change his hair every time he made a breakthrough. It was just one hair. Did it still have more clothes than the poop shovel?
Besides, with his mental strength and powerful calculation power, how can he play Go? Even against a quantum computer, he still has a chance of winning1
"Brother Le, I am a little girl, you should give me a ball, right?"
Miao Le frowned, feeling that things were not that simple. He thought about it and nodded.
"Brother Le, look, there is such a big difference in strength between us, you have to give me one, otherwise it's not fair!"
Miao Le pondered for a moment and nodded again.
"Brother Le, you see, I give you a massage every time I take a shower, so you can't show off?"
…
After a while, Miao Le was stunned when he looked at the chessboard with ten black stones on the table, and then fell into deep thought.
How to win?
After stretching his tail out in front of his eyes and looking at it for a while, Miao Le felt relieved. Fortunately, he was hairy.
Alas, the river is declining, and people's hearts are not as good as before!
How could any of the previous poop shovelers lie to themselves about their hair?
"Xiang Fairy, Xu Dabai, the best swordsman in Hubei, please enlighten me!" A swordsman came from outside Jiang Mansion and shouted loudly.
False fame is tiring. For the title of No. 1 in the world, the one who challenges these days is no longer the first one.
Jiang Yuyan in the inner room frowned, curled her fingers, and shot out a silver needle.
Outside the house, Xu Dabai was calm and focused, holding a single sword and facing the door.
When he saw the silver needle, he shouted: "Strike Huashan!"
"Bang~"
A moment later, Xu Dabai was already tens of meters away from the house, lying on the ground in confusion, and the single sword that he regarded as his life had been shattered on the ground.
They are the same people, why is there such a big gap?
"Brother, have you heard of Jin Yiwei?" Suddenly someone came over and asked quietly.
The man took out a medicine from his arms and stuffed it into his mouth: "Try it, it can cure your internal injuries."
Xu Dabai was doubtful, but he was completely unable to move at this time and could only take the medicine voluntarily.
After a while.
"Do you still have this medicine?" Xu Dabai was very excited. Apparently this medicine has miraculous effects.
"Join the Jinyiwei, patrol every day, and get one pill per month for a first-grade Jinyiwei!" the man said seductively.
Xu Dabai was a little hesitant. After all, he was a Jin Yiwei and a court eagle dog. It would not sound good if he said it out loud.
"If you perform meritorious service, you can exchange for high-quality Yuan-Building Pills when you are promoted to the fourth rank of Jin Yiwei. One pill can increase your skill for three years, as well as various top martial arts, including the 'Crazy Lion Palm' of the former martial arts leader Tie Ruyun. There is also the 'South China Sea Divine Sword' of Nanhai Shenni."
"If you can get to the ninth-grade Jinyiwei, you can even exchange for the commander's unparalleled magical skills: transfer flowers and trees, shape-shifting, and the infinite magic needle, as well as a holy yuan-building pill that can increase the skill for ten years.
Brother, Suzhou is only so big, and there are only so many positions for Jinyiwei. If you don't join, there will be no positions! "
Xu Dabai gritted his teeth and took out the money and secrets he had on him: "Okay, I'll join!"
"To join, you must first hand over the martial arts and internal skills you are good at, as well as the money you have on your body as a deposit. What if you run away?" The man said.
Xu Dabai was stunned and hesitated.
"Shan Qianhu, one of the best swordsmen in the northwest joined us behind the house just now. Now there is only one spot left before the quota set by the commander! There is a person over there in the south who is considering it." Suddenly someone came from the side and reported.
When Xu Dabai heard this, he quickly shouted: "I join, I join!"
Jiang Mansion, back door.
"Shan Qianhu, there was one of the best swordsmen in the Northwest who just joined us at the front door..."
"Stop talking, I'll join!"
