Li'an City, Maxi Street, Tao Mansion.

After being brought here by Tao Yingfa, Jiang Beiran and his party of four sat in the middle hall and drank the tea served by the maid.

After a while, a personable man in white walked into the middle hall, and Tao Yingfa followed behind the man in white.

"You are the emperor?"

Looking at Jiang Beiran, who was sitting on the upper seat drinking tea, the man in white asked in a slightly playful tone.

However, when the white-clothed man finished asking, there was silence in the middle hall, and no one spoke.

The white-clothed man frowned, walked up to Jiang Beiran and said, "What a new emperor of Shengguo, what is the intention of coming to my Tao Mansion to compose music?" ”

At this time, Mu Yao stood up abruptly in front of Jiang Beiran and said, "In this hall, we only heard the barking of dogs, but we didn't hear anyone's words, but I don't know where the barking sound of dogs came from. ”

"What a sharp-toothed girl! This son will let you know who is barking! The white-clothed man said that the mysterious qi around his body suddenly exploded, and he was already in the realm of the Great Xuanshi.

Seeing that the man in white was disrespectful when he entered the door, Jiang Beiran knew that Tao Yingfa took him back to the house not to talk about things, but to move the rescuers.

However, this kind of provocation Jiang Beiran is very happy to see, after all, whoever makes the first move will take the loss, which is conducive to the negotiation after cleaning him up.

Seeing that the other party was already in the realm of a great Xuan Master, Mu Yao did not hesitate at all, and directly pulled out the Frost Hua Sword and burst out his ice blue Xuan Qi.

"Humph! Even the Xuanshi realm dared to draw his sword in front of his son and look for death! After the white-clothed man finished speaking, he directly gathered the cyan Xuan Qi and placed it on the sword, and the whole person swept towards Mu Yao like a violent wind.

"Fall."

With Jiang Beiran's whisper, the originally amazing boy in white instantly fell to the ground with a dog eating, making a loud "bang"!

'Very good, it can also have a good effect on the Great Xuan Master. ’

Although Jiang Beiran had 10,000 ways to make the Great Xuanshi in front of him make a fool of himself, he thought that Yan Ling had not used the Great Xuanshi as a test subject, so he tried it, but he didn't expect the effect to be so outstanding.

The man in white who fell to the ground inexplicably felt extremely ashamed! In anger, he hurriedly got up, glared at Mu Yao and shouted, "What kind of demon technique did you use!" ”

Mu Yao, who didn't know what the situation was, said inexplicably: "You fell by yourself, what's the matter with Miss Guan Ben?" ”

"Yes, there are some doorways, then you can take my trick again!" After the white-clothed man finished speaking, his momentum rose again, and the whole person jumped high, and the cyan Xuan Qi wrapped his body like a tornado.

The momentum of this move was much more terrifying than just now, which made Mu Yao have to be on standby, ready to take out his talisman weapon to resist at any time.

"The Wind ......"

Just as the man in white was about to shout the name of the move, Jiang Beiran whispered again: "Fall." ”

Then I heard the sound of "boom" again! The white-clothed boy in mid-air fell vertically, smashing a deep pit on the ground.

Now everyone in the audience was stunned, it was possible that the fall just now was accidental, but the second time it fell like this, it was obviously artificial.

The embarrassed man in white jumped up from the ground again, but this time he didn't dare to make any more nonsense, and immediately took two steps back.

'This girl is too evil, obviously just a mere Xuanshi realm, but she has mastered such a powerful demon method, I don't know what's going on, I'm really terrible. ’

Of course, Mu Yao was also confused, the great mystic master on the other side was genuine, and the power of the two moves was above her, originally she thought that she would have to sacrifice the mystery-level magic weapon given by the big father to win this battle, but the person in front of her seemed to have suddenly lost his mind, and did something stupid.

"Big brother, are you okay?" Tao Yingfa hurriedly stepped forward to support his brother and asked.

"It doesn't matter." The man in white waved his hand.

It's not that he was reckless, the two falls just now were indeed just ordinary falls, and there was no Xuan Qi power attached to it, as if a master was teasing a junior.

When the surprise slowly faded, Tao Yingfa's arrogance was also slightly restrained, and he looked at Mu Yao and asked, "I don't know which sect's senior disciple the girl is." ”

"Phew! Who is the master disciple of the sect, listen up, this girl is a disciple of the Spirit Dragon Sect. ”

'Spirit Dragon Sect ......'

Hearing that Mu Yao was a member of the Spirit Dragon Sect, Tao Yingfa's little remaining arrogance was completely extinguished, just kidding...... Spirit Dragon Sect, this is the Demon Sect created by Yin Jianghong, a Xuanzong-level powerhouse, where can they afford to provoke a small family.

Although I heard that the new emperor who came to the throne this time had received strong support from the two realms of righteousness and demons, I didn't expect that Yin Jianghong would actually teach middle school disciples to be the new emperor's guards...... Does not giving the new emperor face mean not giving him face......

Although he was still very unhappy in his heart, after all, all along, no court in the Shengguo Kingdom dared to meddle in the affairs of their sect, but the situation was stronger than people, and the disciple of the Spirit Dragon Sect in front of him was not only more powerful than him, but also had a more ruthless background than him.

"The heroes don't suffer the immediate losses, and they have the right to endure them this time, and then tell the Tang sect master about this matter, I don't believe that this little emperor can really let the sect make concessions to the imperial court." ’

Swallowing this breath, the white-clothed boy first whispered a few words to Tao Yingfa, and only after he left did he put away his sword and arched his hand towards Mu Yao: "It turned out to be a disciple of Sect Master Yin, disrespectful and disrespectful, just now the younger brother was not clear and made some misunderstandings, and I ask a few forgiveness." ”

Seeing that the other party was instigated, Mu Yao also put away his frost sword and retreated behind Jiang Beiran.

The white-clothed man, who understood that the emperor in front of him was the one who was the main speaker, swallowed a breath, stepped forward and saluted: "I didn't entertain well just now, and I apologized to the emperor below." ”

"Since it's a misunderstanding, then let it pass, is Childe the person who talks about this Tao Mansion?"

"No, it's just that when my father is not at home, I manage it on my behalf, and my surname is Tao, and my name is Fengxue, and I am the son of the Tao family."

"I see, then you should have heard from Brother Ling about what happened to me in your Tao Mansion."

Tao Fengxue nodded, sat on the master's seat and said: "It's just that the emperor seems to have misunderstood something, those workers in the mine were all recruited by us in the village, and recruiting workers shouldn't be considered illegal, right?" ”

The farmer, who had been watching from the sidelines, immediately became anxious when he heard this, and took his straw and shouted, "You brute with no eyes! Obviously you forced us to go! It's time to recruit us! Lao Tzu forked you to death! ”

After speaking, he raised his straw fork to Tao Fengxue is fork, and while inserting it, he didn't forget to look at Jiang Beiran and explain: "Your Majesty! You can't believe the words of this wicked man, this little white face is not a good thing at first glance! ”

After appeasing the farmer, Jiang Beiran looked at Tao Xuefeng and asked, "In this case, can I go to the mine and ask those workers, if they are really voluntary, then I will not ask about this matter anymore, if they are not voluntary, then ask Tao Gongzi to release them back into their own village, how about it?" ”

Tao Fengxue's face froze after hearing this, and he felt a little roasted on the fire, if he agreed to the new emperor's request this time and released those workers, what if the new emperor went to inspect the property elsewhere in their Tao family? You can't put it all down.

Don't you agree...... He didn't know what kind of consequences he would suffer, in case that Yin Jianghong came to the door, he would become a sinner of the Tao family.

In embarrassment, Tao Fengxue changed the topic and said: "Your Majesty, it has been quite hard for you to come over the mountains and mountains all the way, why don't we have a meal first, and then we will discuss this matter after the meal?" ”

After taking a sip of tea, Jiang Beiran replied: "Master Tao, this is to wait for Ling Zun to return to make a decision, it doesn't matter, I can wait." ”

Hearing that the idea of his intention to delay was said lightly by the emperor, and it didn't matter at all, Tao Fengxue was inexplicably shorter, so his brain was hot, and he said: "The emperor has thought about it a lot, I can make my own decisions about this matter, I can let the emperor go to our mine to inquire about those workers, but if they do volunteer to work for my Tao family, should you apologize to our Tao family, the emperor?" ”

Jiang Beiran laughed, looked at Tao Fengxue and said, "I'm afraid that your Tao family can't stand it." ”

In an instant, Tao Fengxue felt a huge pressure coming towards him, and his head felt as if he had been hit hard by some blunt object.

'How is that possible!? Isn't the emperor only an ordinary person to be an emperor!? Why does this emperor have such momentum!? ’

In a panic, Tao Fengxue, who was becoming more and more lacking in confidence, already felt that his head was a little dizzy, and he also regretted what he had recklessly promised just now.

'How could I be impulsive!' ’

Just when Tao Fengxue regretted it, a neutral voice came from outside.

"The distinguished guest welcomes the door, the old man can't welcome him from afar, and invites the distinguished guest Haihan!"

Hearing this voice, Tao Fengxue instantly breathed a sigh of relief, and the backbone of their Tao family returned.

Jiang Beiran was a little regretful, he had just provoked the Tao Fengxue a little, which could have made him show more flaws, but this time his father came back, and he naturally had no part to speak.

After a while, a middle-aged man with a long beard walked into the middle hall, looked at Tao Fengxue on the director's seat and said, "Feng'er, have you entertained your guests well?" ”

Tao Fengxue immediately greeted him and replied: "Back to my father, there was a little misunderstanding at the beginning, but now it has been made clear, the child is planning to invite the emperor to dine in the mansion." ”

The middle-aged man glanced at the deep pit on the ground, and then smiled: "That's good." After speaking, he looked at Jiang Beiran and said: "This is the emperor, the old man Tao Yangbo, who just returned from the Thundering Sect, took the car by mistake, and asked the emperor not to blame." ”

'Hmm...... The old ones are still better than the younger ones. ’

In one sentence, he first expressed his position that he did not intend to tear his face, and then took out the Thunder Sect to suppress himself, which can be described as neither humble nor arrogant.

"Consul Tao is polite, I came suddenly, and it is normal for Consul Tao to be absent."

Sitting on the vacant master's seat, Tao Boyang arched his hand again: "I heard the dog say, the emperor came here because of the mine?" ”

"Exactly." Jiang Beiran nodded, "I don't know if Consul Tao knows about the new decree issued by me?" ”

"I know, of course I know, there are notices posted all over the street, and there are special people to read them, it's hard for the old man to think about it, the emperor's thunderous means are really eye-opening for the old man."

"Then why does Lord Tao still want to arrest the villagers of Xinhe Village to mine for you?"

Tao Yangbo sighed after hearing this and said: "Alas, the old man also has a hard time, although the old man's Tao Mansion is backed by the Lei Ming Sect, it is very majestic on weekdays, but only he knows this hardship." ”

Although Tao Yangbo's words were a little ambiguous, as soon as they came out, it was tantamount to admitting that he had indeed arrested the villagers to mine, rather than making some clumsy excuses like his son.

'The old fox wants to play the emotional card?' ’

In Jiang Beiran's speculation, Tao Yangbo continued: "The old man has to offer hundreds of spirit stones to the Lei Ming Sect every month, as well as grain, mines, paper, silk and other things. ”

After hearing Tao Yangbo's words, a white light suddenly flashed in Jiang Beiran's mind.

'Yes! ’

Jiang Beiran suddenly found that he had been thinking wrong, as the emperor, what he wanted to deal with should not be those sects, even if Shi'an and Yin Jianghong supported him, if he came hard, it would be okay to suppress it for a while, but these sects would definitely regard him as a thorn in their side, and they would deal with it quickly.

Moreover, the policy of coercion is a method that cannot be used for a long time, after all, where there is oppression, there will be resistance.

Only a win-win situation is the best way to keep the relationship going.

I have been thinking about how to make those sects change their minds, but I don't know why the masters of sects like Guan Shi'an are so lacking in the understanding of the people at the bottom, there is only one reason, they don't "exploit" the people at all, and almost every sect has a "folk spokesperson", just like the Ye family and the Shao family in the first and second places in Jiyuan Town, which seem to be majestic, but in fact, they are just a miscellaneous work under the Sifang Sect and the Full Moon Sect.

For cultivators, cultivation is the top priority, and as for the work of inferior people, such as digging spirit stones, planting vegetables, raising silkworms, etc., they naturally won't do it, and they all directly lose it to their subordinate families.

And these subordinate families not only have to ensure the completion of their own tasks, but also to get oil and water from them, and naturally only the people are suffering.

So at this moment, Jiang Beiran realized that what he wanted to deal with was not those sects, but those big families under the sects!

Only by letting these families understand that if they want to make money, they can not only exploit the people, but only the way to let the people live a comfortable road, of course, this is easy to say, but it is difficult to do, after all, no one will think that they make more money, even if the exploitation of the people can only make them earn a few more taels of silver, it is also in vain.

Anyway, there is no cost to oppress the people.

Therefore, it is a great waste of the potential of the people to let these families exploit the people in this way, and a perfect social structure can achieve a win-win situation, and there is no need to oppress the people to the way they are now.

Thinking of this, Jiang Beiran instantly changed some of the blueprint in his mind, making it more perfect.

Seeing that the emperor was suddenly stunned, Tao Yangbo asked, "But what did the old man say wrong?" Displeased the emperor? ”

"Nope." Jiang Beiran waved his hand: "I can understand Consul Tao's difficulties very well, but things are one yard at a time, and I still have to take care of the affairs of the villagers in Xinhe Village." ”
