Text Chapter 119 Absorb the jade pendant and lure it down
In the early morning, a ray of morning light shined through the window and hit Sun Ling's face lying on the bed. Slowly opening his eyes and feeling the soreness in his arms and leg muscles, Sun Ling suddenly sat up straight and looked around.
"The master is awake! Yesterday's appearance of the master scared those subordinates a lot. Qianqian floated in front of the bed, looked at Sun Ling who woke up, patted her chest slightly raised, made a little woman's scared look, and said.
Yesterday? Have you been in a coma for a day? What's going on? Sun Ling only remembered that he was reading the battle report, and then suddenly he was in a very irritable mood, and he didn't know what happened after that.
"It seems that the master doesn't remember what happened yesterday.,Yesterday the master suddenly went crazy.。。。。 Then the colorful energy returned to the jade pendant, but it was not yet known what that colorful energy was.
But what can be known at the moment is that the colorful energy is beneficial, and the strange man before gave the owner something terrible. In Sun Ling's surprised gaze, Qianqian told yesterday's events, and finally pointed to the jade pendant on Sun Ling's waist and said in amazement.
After listening to Qianqian's words, Sun Ling picked up the jade pendant on his waist and looked at it carefully. From the outside, this jade pendant is the same as an ordinary jade pendant, and there is no difference. But why is there such a magical energy inside? Guigu Road, it seems to be very mysterious.
After asking Qianqian about his physical condition and learning that the muscle aches were due to the invasion of evil qi, Sun Ling stepped out of the bed with confidence and walked out of the house.
Not only does there be information from Xuzhou, but you need to deal with it yourself. And yesterday Zhao Yun and Dian Wei were injured by themselves, and I don't know what happened to them now, thinking of these things, Sun Ling couldn't lie on the bed with peace of mind.
"Lord, you're awake!" As soon as he walked out of the door, Sun Ling heard the exclamations of Zhao Yun and Dian Wei, coming from the left and right.
Hearing this, Sun Ling raised his eyes and saw Zhao Yun and Dian Wei, who were standing outside the door at this time, bowing to him with surprise in their eyes.
Looking at the slightly tired expressions of the two, Sun Ling's heart couldn't help but flow a little warm. It seems that the two of them are worried that they will have an accident again, so they have been staying here, thinking that they have never rested.
Thinking of this, Sun Ling looked at the two of them with emotion and said, "Well, my body is no longer in serious trouble." It's hard for the two of you, I was injured yesterday, I should have gone to recuperate, and I asked you to insist on guarding me here, how is the injury? ”
Seeing that Sun Ling still remembered that the two of them were injured, Zhao Yun glanced at Dian Wei in some surprise. As far as they knew, the people who had entered the demon should not remember what happened at that time, how could Sun Ling be so special?
"No surprise, I naturally have the means to know these things. Tell me first, how are the injuries on your body? Seeing the expressions of the two, Sun Ling naturally knew what the two were wondering about. But because of Qianqian's existence, it is not appropriate to reveal it, so it is nothing to make yourself mysterious, anyway, the two of them have also seen some magical things.
Hearing Sun Ling say this, the two of them no longer guessed, after all, the magical process of strengthening had always been deeply imprinted in the minds of the two. Compared to that kind of means, knowing that he was in the devil and what happened, it didn't seem to be a great means for Sun Ling.
"Lord, General Yun and Dian, there is nothing wrong with the body, but those evil qi in the body will take some time to get rid of it." In Sun Ling's inquiring eyes, Zhao Yun spoke.
"What effect will that evil qi have in your body?" Hearing Zhao Yun's words, no matter how stupid Sun Ling was, he should know that the evil qi in their bodies was definitely harmful to them.
"There is no impact on the body, but for the time being, you need to use half of the internal strength in your body to slowly consume those evil qi, and when the evil qi is eliminated, it will naturally be fine." Regarding Sun Ling's worries, Zhao Yun seemed a little light-hearted, as if it was not him who was invaded by the evil qi.
Zhao Yun's words made Sun Ling frown and think about it. Don't look at Zhao Yun's words, Sun Ling clearly knows that it is definitely not a trivial matter to let them, who are masters with internal strength, use half of the internal strength in their bodies to deal with it.
Is it evil? In the eyes of Zhao Yun and Dian Wei, Sun Ling lowered his head and thought about it.
"What a stupid host! The colorful energy in the jade pendant, since it can absorb the huge evil qi on the master's body, isn't it easy to collect the slightest evil qi on the two of them? Just when Sun Ling was thinking hard, Qianqian's crisp voice came to his mind.
Belch.. After getting Qianqian's reminder, Sun Ling reacted at this time, he was carrying a treasure, but he didn't know how to use it.
Because he didn't know how to awaken the energy in the jade pendant, Sun Ling picked up the jade pendant on his waist and pressed it against Zhao Yun's abdomen under the puzzled eyes of the two.
In Sun Ling's nervous eyes, the jade pendant that was clinging to Zhao Yun's abdomen emitted a fleeting colorful light, and then a trace of black evil qi floated out of Zhao Yun's body and into the jade pendant.
Seeing that the evil qi was really sucked into the jade pendant, Sun Ling looked at Zhao Yun with a happy face and said, "Zilong, can you feel it and see if there is any evil qi in the body?" ”
Sun Ling's performance was completely confused in the eyes of Zhao Yun and Dian Wei. Holding the jade pendant on the abdomen, the evil qi in the body can be eliminated? Although he didn't believe it, Zhao Yun still followed Sun Ling's words and felt the situation of the dantian in his body.
"Lord... Lord! Cloud.. The evil qi in the cloud body has really disappeared! Feeling the evil aura in his body that had disappeared, Zhao Yun looked at Sun Ling and said incredulously.
"It's good to be useful! Dian Wei, in exchange for you! After being confirmed by Zhao Yun himself, the evil qi had disappeared, and Sun Ling put the jade pendant close to Dian Wei's abdomen as he did just now.
Just like Zhao Yun, after a while, the evil qi in Dian Wei's body was also sucked in by Yu Pei. This magical jade pendant made the two of them amazed.
The evil qi in the bodies of the two has been removed, and Sun Ling can be regarded as letting go of a concern. Let them go back and have a good night's sleep, and Sun Ling himself went towards Xun Yu and the others, not only because of the news that they woke up, but they didn't know it. And about what happened in Guangling City, Sun Ling also needed to discuss it with them. Jingzhou Liu Biao, Sun Ling will never be reconciled with him!
"No matter what you two say, I don't agree with going back. For now, we should wait for the lord to wake up and deal with the affairs of Qingzhou first. If we keep the 200,000 Qingzhou yellow scarves, we will have to place soldiers and horses on the border of Xuzhou to take precautions, in short, it is imperative to take Qingzhou. As soon as he walked outside the conference hall, Sun Ling heard Guo Jia's voice coming from the hall.
"Fengxiao, the matter of Qingzhou can be discussed again in the future, the lord became like that yesterday for the matter of Guangling City, and you also witnessed it with your own eyes. It's not that we don't want to take this opportunity to take Qingzhou, but I'm worried that after the lord wakes up, he will mention the matter of Guangling City. If I don't agree to this, I can't guarantee that my lord won't fall into that state again. Xun Yu saw that Guo Jia resolutely opposed the matter of leading his troops back to Xuzhou, and persuaded bitterly.
When Sun Ling outside the hall heard this, he knew that the two were arguing about something, and it seemed that his state yesterday really made these people under the account worry a lot. Guo Jia, who usually doesn't care about these things, will argue with Xun Yu for this kind of thing, so you can know how much impact what happened yesterday had on them.
Thinking of this, Sun Ling stopped listening and walked into the hall with a step. "Feng Xiao is right, the top priority now is to take Qingzhou first. Yesterday's events have made you worried! ”
"Lord!" Seeing that Sun Ling had woken up, and listening to him, it seemed that he was not as obsessed with finding Liu Biao for revenge as yesterday, and the three people in the hall were all relieved, stood up, bowed their hands, and saluted Sun Ling.
"What do you mean, I heard it outside the hall just now, I can put the matter of Guangling City for the time being, but it doesn't mean that I will let Liu Biao go. Send the news back first, let Yu and Xu prepare for it, and when Qingzhou is pacified, I will go south to Jingzhou! Coming to the top of the hall, Sun Ling said to the three Xun Yu below.
Xun Yu and the three of them heard Sun Ling's words, and their faces showed relaxed smiles. As long as Sun Ling can calm down, he will take Qingzhou first and consolidate internal stability. With the strength of the Badao Battalion, it is not a big deal to go south to Jingzhou.
"My lord, Jia has investigated in those garrisons before, and most of them will join the Qingzhou Yellow Turban because of the excessive taxes paid by the imperial court. Now the yellow scarves in Qingzhou, three, go to one, the lord can make a fuss about the tax, used to lure the remaining 200,000 yellow scarves, so Qingzhou can be determined! Seeing that Sun Ling had already decided, Guo Jia said the plan he had thought of before.
Is it taxable? Hearing Guo Jia's words, Sun Ling thought about it. To say that this tax, the tax of the Eastern Han Dynasty, is absolutely inhumane. The fields have to be taxed, this is secondary, the most important is the various taxes of the population, and it has been growing, and the people are overwhelmed and it is difficult to survive, and it is no wonder that they are going to rebel.
Taxation in later generations was not as complicated as it is now, and in the end, there was no longer any poll tax, and often commercial taxation was the most important. Thinking of this, Sun Ling looked at Guo Jia and asked, "Then how does Feng Xiao think he should formulate a tax so that those yellow scarves and their families can be tempted?" ”
"Hmm... This kind of thing, Wen Ruo is still good at it, so it's up to him to explain it to the lord. Although Guo Jia is also good at government affairs, he is obviously blind to the problem of taxation, so after hearing Sun Ling's question, he pushed this question to Xun Yu beside him.
Guo Jia's words made Xun Yu can't help but cast a roll of the eyes at this friend, he is good, and he throws out a plan. For this reason, I have to come up with a tax plan that will not harm Sun Ling's interests and can make those yellow turbans excited.
"My lord, the problem of taxation, in fact, the land tax, with today's thirty taxes and one, is already within the range of the people's affordability, and it can even be said to be very low. The most important problem is the population tax, if the population tax can be reduced accordingly, the problem of excessive tax can be easily solved. Xun Yu thought for a moment and said.
After listening to Xun Yu's words, Sun Ling couldn't help but nod his head secretly in admiration. Xun Yu is worthy of being an expert in internal affairs, and with a little thought, he can get to the crux of the problem. But Sun Ling wants more than these, through some ideas just now, he wants to use Qingzhou as a test site to implement some tax plans for later generations, if it can be successful, the future Yu and Xu will also follow the implementation of such a tax model.
"If I want to completely abolish the population tax and only take the land tax and the commercial tax, what does Wen Ruo think?" In the horrified eyes of Xun Yu and the others, Sun Ling said with a light smile.
Since you want to reduce taxes and use this to lure those Qingzhou yellow turbans, it is better to take this opportunity to spread your ideas in Qingzhou, this is what Sun Ling thinks at the moment. Although for the three of them, this idea is a bit shocking, but for Sun Ling, this tax method is inevitable.
