"Whew!" Mu Tianxiang let out a low roar, lying on Shangguan Jin's body, reluctant to get up for a long time, Shangguan Jin also hugged Mu Tianxiang like an octopus.

"Amazing!" Mu Tianxiang looked at Shangguan Jin and asked. After the pleasure, Shangguan Jin's white body also glowed with a pink color.

"You're like an animal now!" Shangguan Jin kept panting, his towering chest continued to rise and fall violently, and finally breathed a sigh of relief after a long time, and said coquettishly.

"I can't stand it, do you want to call Ouyang Xiaoweaving and the others over to rescue them?" Mu Tianxiang said proudly, Mu Tianxiang found that since he broke through the yellow level and reached the Xuan level, he has also become a lot stronger in this regard, and now that he has capital, sleeping together is Mu Tianxiang's dirty ideal.

"Say you're fat and you're still panting, come on, fight for another three hundred rounds, see if I don't squeeze you dry. Shangguan Jin pointed his finger at Mu Tianxiang's chest and said.

"Don't make a fuss, it's been three times, and there's going to be a meeting tomorrow!" Mu Tianxiang decisively admitted, this kind of thing, no matter how powerful a man is, except for the kind of talented, it is always a man who loses in the end. This is something that cannot be changed.

"Cut, even I can't deal with it, and I want to be slept with. ”

......

The next day, a refreshed Mu Tianxiang came to the conference hall early. Li Muran and his gang have been waiting for a long time.

"How is it, how have you caught violations of rules and discipline in the army recently?" asked Mu Tianxiang straight to the point. Due to the recent continuous wars, military discipline has been relaxed, and the robbery of people's women, property, shortage, burning, killing and looting has occurred from time to time, and the people are extremely angry, Mu Tianxiang asked Li Muran and others to investigate.

"After our detailed investigation, there are such things, mainly in the surrendered army and the army recruited by Zhang Wei in Little Rock. Li Muran said.

"Do you have any of the recruits we've trained?"

"There are, but not much, and the new army as a whole is still good. Li Muran said.

"How many people are there, are they under control?" In the face of these things, Mu Tianxiang also hated it, but there were too many people, and it was always difficult to avoid it.

"There are more than 2,000 people, less than 3,000!"

"Is there anyone involved in the generals?" asked Mu Tianxiang.

"There are about 100 people at the level of a deputy army commander, three divisions, and brigades and regiments......" Li Muran said with a long sigh.

"We now have an army of less than two million people, nearly 3,000 people take military discipline seriously, and there are so many high-ranking generals, what is the matter with you generals who are commanding the army, victorious and carried away......," Mu Tianxiang rebuked angrily.

"This kind of thing is more common in the armies of other kingdoms, and I believe that such things will gradually decrease with the replenishment of the new army. Seeing Mu Tianxiang angry, Liao Huayu explained.

"I don't care what happens to other people, in my army, such a thing is absolutely not allowed to happen! How does your staff plan to deal with these things?" Mu Tianxiang knew that it was very difficult to build an army with strict military discipline, but it would be quickly corrupted.

"We plan to select about a hundred people who are very angry and killed, and the rest will be punished!" Ma Xiaoke said in charge of military discipline.

"No, it's too light, kill them all, escort the culprits to various cities, and kill them in front of the people!" Mu Tianxiang thought about it and said categorically.

"Mr. Mu, this is a bit too much, there are many good seedlings among these people, I hope to be exempted from their capital crimes and allow them to wear their crimes and make meritorious ......"

"Iron discipline must be verified with blood, and we don't have that much time, I estimate that we have two years to rest at most, this is a troubled time! In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army, these black sheep must not be spared, since they take military discipline seriously, then they must pay the price...... Mu Tianxiang said.

"Kill half of it......" Liao Huayu asked.

"This matter cannot be bargained, if you make a mistake, you must take military discipline to assess, since we have formulated military discipline, those who violate discipline must be punished accordingly, I believe that you have reported these people after consideration, there must be many people who do not constitute a capital crime, but also violate discipline!" Mu Tianxiang said: "These people are blamed in front of the whole army, and then they are cleared out of the army." ”

"In this case, there will be a lot shortage of command personnel at the grassroots level, which is not conducive to the stability of the army!" Liao Huayu did not agree with Mu Tianxiang's handling method.

"Let the students of the military academy graduate early and replenish to the grassroots level. Mu Tianxiang said: "I know that you can't bear it, think I'm making a big fuss, but you have to understand that the path we are going to take now is different from other kingdoms in this world, and we will rely on an army with strong combat effectiveness and strict military discipline in the future. How great can an army that harms even its own people be in the future, and how far can it go? We are just getting started......

"Okay, our staff will come down and execute it immediately!" Li Muran stopped Liao Huayu, who was still arguing.

Li Muran has been following Mu Tianxiang to fight in the south and the north, and has a deep understanding of Mu Tianxiang, knows that Mu Tianxiang's heart is very big, and he has always taken the affairs of the common people very seriously. Now that Mu Tianxiang has made up his mind, everyone will no longer say anything.

"It is better to suffer a temporary pain than to annihilate the whole army in the future, and the reason why we are feared is not how many high-ranking monks we have, but that we have an army with strong combat effectiveness. We have 50,000 men who have repelled hundreds of thousands, and hundreds of thousands of people who have stood tall in the face of a siege of millions of enemy troops...... Why are these theses!, go down and think about it!" Mu Tianxiang finally said.

......

"Guess what's the purpose of the Heavenly Maiden Sect sending the Holy Maiden to travel around the world!" Putting aside these unpleasant things, Mu Tianxiang asked.

"It's nothing more than deterring all countries and sects!" Hao Jun saw that the atmosphere was dull, and he was the first to speak, and Hao Jun unconditionally supported Mu Tianxiang's resolution.

"This is only one aspect, I estimate that the Heavenly Maiden Sect will intervene in the battle between the Liuyun Sect and the Bloodthirsty Sect and mediate the war. Mu Tianxiang said.

"No, if you think that the existence of the Heavenly Maiden Sect will not usually interfere in the battle of the forces below," Geng Biao felt very strange and said.

"Normally, no. But now the Heavenly Maiden Sect is facing a predicament, and it needs to integrate all the strengths below to overcome the hardships together, this is the information that Ma Tiejun has recently transmitted...... "Mu Tianxiang handed the information in his hand to everyone.

"Ma Tiejun, this kid is good, it's only been this year, and the situation has been opened," Li Muran looked at the intelligence and praised Ma Tiejun's intelligence department.

"Ma Tiefeng and Ma Tiejun spend so much money a year, if they don't get some results, they can really kill and feed the pigs, so as not to waste food!" Hao Jun said unconvinced.

"You can go, I'll let Ma Tiejun come back!" Mu Tianxiang glared at Hao Jun and said.

"I still need to protect you, don't go!" Hao Jun knew that he was not the material in that regard, and decisively confessed.

"Hahaha......" Everyone burst into laughter, and the dull atmosphere just now was swept away.

"Now that the Heavenly Hate Sect and Lishui Palace have joined forces, there is a lot of pressure on the Heavenly Maiden Sect!" Li Muran handed the information to the people below and said.

"The Heavenly Maiden Sect controls the Liuyun Sect, the Bloodthirsty Sect, the Immortal Sect, the Yin-Yang Gate, the Reverse Water Villa, and the Guangming Peak, plus our Ethereal Sect, there are a total of seven sects, among which the Reverse Water Villa is about the same strength as ours, but the Yin Yang Gate and the Guangming Peak are close to the existence of the second-level sects, and one sect tops the three of us, which is the main force of the Heavenly Maiden Sect. Mu Tianxiang said.

"Although the strength of the Heavenly Hatred Sect and Lishui Palace is still a little different from the Heavenly Maiden Sect, the two sides join forces, and there are also twelve sects, and the Heavenly Maiden Sect is also very difficult to deal with. Mu Tianxiang continued to tell everyone about the situation he is facing.

"Heavenly Palace and Flame Mountain won't interfere, right?" asked Liao Huayu.

"According to the analysis of the intelligence in hand, it shouldn't be, after all, their sphere of influence has no intersection with the Heavenly Maiden Sect, and there are few contradictions, and they are willing to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and they won't interfere...... Mu Tianxiang replied.

"It's really a troubled time, the trees want to be quiet and the wind doesn't stop," Tang Buregret sighed and said helplessly.

"The general trend is the same, and we can't do anything about it, once the two sides fall into conflict, we will not be spa......red," Mu Tianxiang said.

"If the Flowing Cloud Sect and the Bloodthirsty Sect stop fighting, we will become a thorn in their side, will they target us?" asked Ma Xiaoke.

"There is a Heavenly Girl Sect pressing, it shouldn't be for the time being, but it can't be guarded against. Mu Tianxiang said: "But even if we won't be requisitioned, we still need to pay a price, at least our purpose of controlling the Star Gorge alone will not work, and we will definitely share it with them." ”

"We have to prepare now, Geng Biao, Zhao Yu, how is our treasury now?"

"In the past two years, we have taken over tens of millions of displaced people, and we have just settled down, and we have also taken over the spirit stone mine near the original Sword Villa, plus the transaction between Tianshui City and the water tribe, the spirit stone is barely enough. Zhao Yu said.

"How much of our military spending now accounts for the revenue of the state treasury?"

"It's about five out of one," Mr. Geng said.

"It's too little, other kingdoms start at least fifty percent, and many even reach seventy percent, and now the situation is tense, you have to increase our expenditure. The commander of the division led by Li Muran began to be reluctant.

"At most, twenty into five, no matter how much people's livelihood will be seriously affected, after all, we have just founded the country, and what we inherited is a mess," a group of officials in charge of the people's livelihood headed by Geng Biao and Tang Buregret quit.

......

"Increase it to three into five!" Seeing Geng Biao and Li Muran arguing, Mu Tianxiang said.

"In this way, our plans will be disrupted, and many plans cannot be implemented!" Tang Buregret was a little reluctant, although Li Muran was not satisfied, but it was acceptable, after all, the people's livelihood is difficult now, and Li Muran and others also know it.

"Spending on education cannot be moved, and the original plan to build the imperial palace and the canal connecting the Liuyun River has been temporarily suspended until later. Mu Tianxiang said.

"Thirty percent of military spending is already a lot, and your military can do a lot of things if you save a little money. Mu Tianxiang turned his head and said to Li Muran.

"Do you want to stop the research of guns first, that thing is too expensive, and now although there is the help of dwarves, but if you want to make a unified barrel, it is still not easy, but if the size is different, the bullet can't be done, the most important thing is that the power of the gun is not much different from the bow and arrow, and the cost is indeed several ......times that of the bow and arrow," Liao Huayu said.

"The research of guns can't stop, don't look at the current guns and bows and arrows are about the same power, but the bow and arrow we have done the extreme, and it is impossible to make great progress in the future, unless we can create an artifact, and the gun is different, we have just started, the power is already about the same as the bow and arrow, the future will be great, believe me, the gun will eventually replace the bow and arrow." Mu Tianxiang said categorically.

"We also need to expand and train the army, and this time the army is reorganized, it is estimated that at least 100,000 veterans will be lost," Liao Huayu said.

"Don't talk about military discipline anymore, the construction of the walls of various cities also accounts for a lot of military spending, stop, and no more cities will be built in the country in the future!" Mu Tianxiang said.

"Without the protection of the city wall, once we encounter an enemy attack, we will be very passive!" Ma Xiaoke was reluctant.

"Our Xianglong Empire must establish the determination to resist strong enemies outside the country, and must not allow foreign enemies to invade our territory, and the internal security will be handled by General Zhou and General Wu, and ordinary robbers and bandits are still no problem. If the people of the whole country rise up against us, it means that we are doing very poorly, and it is useless to rely on a few cities. Mu Tianxiang said.

"From now on, Geng Biao, you have to cooperate with Li Muran and them to accumulate a large amount of grain, steel and other strategic materials, and we are now implementing wartime regulations," Mu Tianxiang said.

"Shall we contact Qi Lihong!" Li Muran suggested.

"Yes, ask Qi Lihong to sell spirits and clothing in exchange for the materials we need," Mu Tianxiang nodded and agreed.

......

After discussing the current major events, under Li Muran's instructions, Mu Tianxiang and Li Muran came to a mountain near the Ethereal Peak.

"Mr. Pastor. I find that you have a lot of confidence in the gun, although I haven't seen its power yet, but I feel that Mr. Mu should have touched it!" Li Muran asked.

"Yes, I have been in contact with you, but I can't explain it to you, and there are some things that you don't understand and can't understand. Mu Tianxiang said lightly.

"Mr. Mu doesn't want to say more, I don't ask, but I always feel that Mr. Mu knows a lot about guns, but you just guide the direction, but never personally guide, I don't know why, I think with your personal guidance, we will take a lot of detours, save a lot of costs......" This is the main reason why Li Muran asked Mu Tianxiang today.

"I'm available to coach. But I think what we want is not the result, but the process, a process of continuous accumulation and exploration, I don't want my guidance to limit the thinking of which craftsmen, you find no, although our **, Gun research is very slow, and it is not satisfactory, but how many things extend from it, as long as these craftsmen continue to study, our talent accumulation will change with each passing day, after all, we will study not only guns in the future, but also many things, if I intervene directly, although it can be effective in a short time, but it may stifle the thinking of these craftsmen, it is worth the loss...... "For his confidants, Mu Tianxiang is still willing to spend time to explain carefully.

Mu Tianxiang's words had a great impact on Li Muran.
