In the evening, Shu Gang, who had discussed the new decree with Jiang Beiran, said goodbye and left.

Mu Yao, who had been waiting at the door all afternoon, just saw Shu Gang come out, and couldn't wait to walk into the meditation hall.

Jiang Beiran, who was writing down the things he had just discussed with a brush, glanced up at Mu Yao, lowered his head again and said, "Have you finished reading the book?" ”

"I'm done." Mu Yao nodded.

"What do you think?"

"It turns out that there were no cultivators in the world in the beginning."

After hearing this, Jiang Beiran couldn't help but complain in his heart: "Most of the co-authored aborigines don't have this common sense." ’

When reading the history books, Jiang Beiran learned that in ancient times, there were also ordinary people on this continent, and the system of sub-feudal kings was implemented, that is, there was only one master in the whole continent, who was called the king of people.

After the death of the human king, the continent is inherited by his eldest son and becomes the next human king, while the rest of the concubines and concubines are called princes, and can obtain a huge fief, and at the same time have all the resources and subjects of this fief.

And this huge fiefdom one after another slowly evolved into a state.

Then the same script is played out again, and when the princes of each country die, his eldest son becomes the next prince, and the rest of the sons and concubines are given a small fief in the prince's country, which is called a family, and the owner of these houses is called a doctor.

Further down the same script, the doctor's son continues to be fiefdom and is called a man.

Scholars are the lowest level of nobility and will no longer have fiefdoms, but they are still nobles and have the power to be officials.

In this way, the kings, princes, doctors, and scholars formed the original aristocratic class of the land.

Further down the Shi are civilians who have no identity at all, and are called the Shu people.

But the Shu people are not at the bottom, because there are slaves further down.

The aristocratic class has property and status, the Shu class has property and no identity, and the slave class is a complete black hukou with no property and no identity, and can only be exploited and exploited all their lives.

In this original dynasty, officials were hereditary, and the aristocratic class had a complete monopoly on the power to acquire knowledge and become officials, and there were no avenues of ascent between the classes.

In the favorite words of netizens, it is.

If you didn't have some things when you were born, then you won't be able to have them in your life.

This reign lasted for hundreds of years, until one day the princes discovered that the world was not infinite, that the kings of men did not always have a kingdom to share with them, and that they did not always have land for the doctors......

As a result, this seemingly perpetual motion machine began to collapse, and the king who could not give land was quickly hollowed out, and the princes began to fight for land and population.

It was during the war that history reached an inflection point that belonged to this continent alone.

Countless commoners and slaves suddenly activated their inner potential during the war, and they gradually learned how to absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, and the first batch of cultivators quickly emerged on the continent.

After becoming cultivators, these commoners and slaves who had been oppressed by the aristocratic class for a long time began to take bloody revenge on the nobles, but when they killed all the nobles and sat on the throne themselves, a whole new problem arose.

If you spend your energy to rule the country and your cultivation can't keep up, the cultivators of the country next door break through and they will quickly come over.

But if the emperor concentrates on cultivation and ignores the government, the country will soon have a poor life.

As a result, a completely new political system emerged, in which the cultivator elected an emperor from among the common people to be his spokesman, while the cultivator himself established a sect to oversee the state.

In this way, the prototype of this state system unique to the Xuanlong Continent was preliminarily completed.

In the time that followed, the attacks between countries never stopped, for the sake of richer cultivation resources, and for the sake of a larger population, or cultivator reserves.

Several powerful sects quickly occupied the Central Plains region, which had the richest cultivation resources, and while groping for how to break through the current cultivation, they joined forces vertically and horizontally.

At first, because most of the cultivators were slaves and commoners, they were extremely disgusted with the aristocratic class, and regarded the imperial court as a plaything, and the emperors and officials in it all had no titles, but in fact, they had no real power at all.

After such a long time, the governance of the country naturally became chaotic again, so at this new inflection point, different choices appeared among the cultivator groups.

For example, on the Fengzhou side, as Yin Jianghong said, after discovering that the people in various places were not living well, the cultivators became decent and let their disciples maintain peace everywhere, but still did not give the imperial court any power to control the cultivators.

Another option is that like several powerful countries in the Central Plains, the strongest sect will endorse the imperial court, that is, be a backer, and give the imperial court great power, it can be said that in addition to the suzerain of this "backer sect", the imperial court can manage everyone.

Because those cultivators all realized that if the people were gone, the country would be meaningless, and at the same time, the sect would lose fresh blood, and it would only be a matter of time before it was eliminated.

Yin Jianghong also recognized this point and understood that if he wanted to become a real power, he must overthrow the status quo in Fengzhou, and even Deng Bo understood this.

It's just that compared to Deng Bolai, Yin Jianghong has the strength and is better to perform, Jiang Beiran feels that the reason why he is now in the "honeymoon period" with Guan Shi'an should be to take the opportunity to fool Guan Shi'an into agreeing with him, so that Fengzhou can subvert the political pattern of Shengguo without bloodshed.

In the next question and answer with Mu Yao, Jiang Beiran taught Mu Yao these things in plain and simple terms.

"That's what Big Daddy thinks......"

Looking at Mu Yao, who was reminiscing about knowledge, Jiang Beiran picked up the teacup and took a sip of spring tea, and asked, "Do you have any insights after learning this?" ”

"Feelings?" Mu Yao pondered for a moment, "I also support giving the imperial court enough power to control cultivators, otherwise many parts of the Shengguo Kingdom will still become inaccessible by government decrees." ”

'Oh? ’

Jiang Beiran was still a little impressed that Mu Yao could realize this, after all, it would be very good for this stupid girl to have a feeling, not to mention this kind of insight into the overall situation.

Looking at Jiang Beiran's surprised eyes, Mu Yao, who felt that she was being underestimated, raised her head and said, "What's so difficult about this!" I have been to many counties and counties, and some of the famous and decent people have indeed taken on the responsibility of saving the people from fire and water, but there are also many so-called decent people who have enclosed a piece of land under the banner of protecting the people, and the people in the circle are simply their slaves. ”

'It's something I've seen...... No wonder there is such an insight. ’

Nodding, Jiang Beiran took out a few more books and put them in front of Mu Yao and said, "Go and read these books again." ”

"Yes!"

Mu Yao, who felt that she was gradually recognizing the entire continent, immediately picked up all the books and left happily.

……

With all kinds of decrees being given in an orderly manner, a month passed quickly.

On this day, Jiang Beiran had just returned to the meditation hall after going down to the court, when he saw a figure suddenly appear in front of him.

Jiang Beiran was stunned for a moment, and then saluted: "Meet Sect Master Yin." ”

Yin Jianghong looked at Jiang Beiran, stroked his long beard and said, "Why did you salute when you just met, it's been almost two months, and your imperial qi has not been cultivated enough." ”

Jiang Beiran responded with a smile after hearing this: "Sect Leader Yin said that I was joking, even if I was full of imperial energy, I was still a junior when I saw you, Sect Master. ”

"You're going to have to change your mind."

However, Jiang Beiran listened to Yin Jianghong's words, and he didn't intend to take it seriously at all, he understood everything he said.

followed Yin Jianghong to the Meditation Palace, and on the way, Yin Jianghong opened his mouth and praised: "I went to see Yaoyao just now, and you taught you very well." ”

"It's Miss Mu, she's smart herself, and I've just guided her a little."

"Hahaha, still so modest, Yaoyao What kind of father can I still know?" After laughing, Yin Jianghong strode into the meditation hall, "I came today because I have something I want to talk to you about." ”

Hearing the two words, Jiang Beiran immediately waved his hand to the palace maids and eunuchs in the meditation hall and said, "Go out, you don't need you here." ”

"Yes." After hearing this, the palace maid and the eunuch immediately withdrew from the meditation hall in an orderly manner.

Closing the door, Yin Jianghong casually found a chair and sat down and said: "First, I want to tell you, the trouble of exterminating those traitors is far more than I imagined, they dispersed all regions of Fengzhou too quickly, and the other ......"

"Bang!"

At this time, the door of the Meditation Hall was suddenly pushed open, and Guan Shi'an walked in and said, "Old man Yin, this seat knows that you are here, didn't you say that you would discuss with Jiang Xiaoyou before you came, and you old man went back on his word again." ”

Glancing at Guan Shi'an, Yin Jianghong shook his head and said, "It was you who suddenly meditated and settled, why do you blame me?" ”

Jiang Beiran got up and bowed his hand towards Guan Shi'an: "Meet Sect Master Guan." ”

After nodding cordially at Jiang Beiran, Guan Shi'an turned his head to look at Yin Jianghong and continued: "It's not that you don't know that this seat doesn't like to listen to this court, so naturally you have to meditate to kill time. ”

"The deity has no such obligation." Yin Jianghong said and got up and poured herself a cup of tea.

Seeing that Guan Shi'an was still arguing over this matter, Jiang Beiran also poured a cup of tea and brought it to him: "Sect Master Yin has just arrived, Sect Master Guan, you take a sip of tea first, I don't know what is important today, I need the two of you to come to the palace together." ”

Taking Jiang Beiran's teacup, Guan Shi'an smiled and looked at Jiang Beiran's dress and said with a smile: "This imperial robe is quite suitable for you, this seat said that you are the material to be the emperor, how have you been in the past two months?" Do you have the confidence to govern this Shengguo well? ”

"The younger generation should do their best."

Yin Jianghong, who was on the side, immediately corrected after hearing this: "Why did you change your claim in front of this old man?" Afraid he doesn't like to hear it? Rest assured, with the deity supporting you, anyone you see can call yourself me. ”

Glaring at Yin Jianghong, Guan Shi'an shook his head and said, "Jiang Xiaoyou, this is respecting the teacher, what is the matter with you?" After speaking, he patted Jiang Beiran on the shoulder: "It's okay, you can call yourself me in front of this seat, it's good, Old Man Yin is right, with the two of us supporting you, anyone you see can call yourself me." ”

'Tsk...... I haven't seen him for two months, and Sect Master Guan's way of speaking is becoming more and more like Yin Jianghong, and it seems that he is not far from being completely homogenized by Yin Jianghong. ’

After drinking the tea handed by Jiang Beiran, Guan Shi'an, who put the cup aside, continued: "You just asked what you want us to come together, right?" There are really some things I want to hear from you. ”

"You two really think of me as a think tank......

At this time, Yin Jianghong on the side interjected: "I told you just now, it takes far longer than we imagined to exterminate this rebel party, and now there is a problem in front of us, in order to prevent these rebel parties from escaping from Fengzhou, we have arranged for many sect masters and sect masters to guard the border pass." ”

"But now the rebels can't be exterminated for a while, and it's impossible to keep them there, so in this matter, the deity really doesn't know whether to withdraw them, or continue to let them stay there, if they want to stay there......

Although Yin Jianghong didn't finish speaking, Jiang Beiran already understood what he meant.

It has been used for so long to use other people's suzerain-level figures as "doormen", if you continue to let them continue to be the ones, when it comes to sharing the cake, it will naturally be necessary to share a little more people, but if you share a little more of them, it is bound that others will have a little less.

This obviously made Yin Jianghong and the two of them very entangled.

Jiang Beiran was about to leave when he saw three options jump out.

[Option 1: Don't get involved.] Completion Reward: Qingyun Demon Book (Prefecture-level Medium Grade)】

[Option 2: It is recommended to withdraw the suzerains at the border gates.] Completion Reward: Heart-Destroying Secret Scroll (Top-Grade)】

[Option 3: It is recommended that the two continue to let the sect masters guard the border pass.] Completion Reward: +1 for random base attribute points]

'Shhh...... The prefecture-level middle grade is okay, can letting those traitors escape can cause such a catastrophe? ’

Jiang Beiran, who was a little surprised in his heart, thought for a while, and chose three to answer: "I think that those sect masters should continue to guard the border pass. ”

"Oh?" Yin Jianghong raised his eyebrows, "Tell me your reason." ”

"According to what I know, those traitors who have lost everything now can be said to hate the two of them to the core, if they are allowed to leave Fengzhou, they will definitely find ways to deal with the comeback of external forces, and then it will be a great disaster for Fengzhou, which is in ruins."

After hearing this, Guan Shi'an replied: "We haven't thought about what you said, but they are now weak, and it is not so simple to find other forces to help them. ”

Jiang Beiran thought for a while before making a firm expression and said: "Sect Master Guan, to be honest, we can't afford to gamble on this matter, Fengzhou has undergone such a big change, and the internal consumption is already serious, and the other countries around it are likely to be ready to move." ”

"If we can finish beautifully, then maybe we can stop the aggressive desire of those countries, but if we let these traitors escape and encourage those countries that are already ready to move, they are likely to invade on a large scale because they think that we can't even finish beautifully, and they must be greatly damaged."

After hearing this, Guan Shi'an was silent, and Yin Jianghong nodded after thinking for a while: "This is reasonable, the deity was originally inclined to this choice a little more, but now Beiran, you also think so, then you can't be wrong." ”
