Chapter 437: Mortal King

Many experienced ordinary mortal monarchs often had to carefully read more than 100,000 recitals with a total of more than 100,000 reports for more than ten years, and even in the process of contacting many cronies and foreign ministers, they could accumulate a lot of experience that the princes and princes could not teach. If a monarch is not very diligent and not very intelligent, but only fishes for three days and dries nets for two days, then he may not be able to accumulate a lot of experience even if he becomes a king for two generations. It's just that at this time, Zhang Fan found that when the wisdom broke through a certain bottleneck and the accumulated knowledge of the rivers and lakes also had a considerable extent, through the deduction of different materials printed in his mind, it seemed that he could find a lot of doorways and even possibilities at once. Less than a day or so of meditation is more than a thousand experiences that a wise monarch can accumulate in more than half a generation.

In this case, the children around Zhang Fan will have little leisure time in the coming days. And Zhang Fan gradually summed up the law in many aspects. For example, if different people plan to deceive, they actually have different language habits. Not all people have the habit of being a very shrewd civil servant, an old minister, or an old official. In particular, when the first batch of more than 10,000 reports sent from thousands of lines was collected and analyzed, it is easy to notice the difference.

Zhang Fan also told the children, "People's energy and memory are sometimes limited, in order to increase the ability to judge cats and even grasp a more accurate profile." There is a lot of material classification and diagramming that needs to be done, so that you will have a more intuitive impression of many things. Among them, the methods of quantifying charts include bar combination charts, pie combination charts, curves and moving averages, etc. These materials can also be grouped into two categories. One is something clear, the other is about the proportion and frequency of the gold and silver content of the report itself... ”

However, in a few days or so, Zhang Fan was able to find that in order for these children to master what they could summarize, even if these children were still smart and obedient, it would take at least more than a year to reach a rough passing level. As a result, many of the previous plans were put on hold.

In the eyes of outsiders, it seems that after returning to the Tower Palace, Zhang Fan only occasionally appeared in a month or a few months or so, and there seemed to be some signs of appearing in other places, but more often it seemed that he was simply secluded in the central underground palace without asking about the world.

This phenomenon also makes Ling Ling, the female minister of state in the Prime Minister's Mansion, always feel a little uneasy. Although with Ling Ling's ability to perceive and even recognize people, based on past experience, he can judge that the so-called Venerable Lord is actually not too mature in mind, and it may not be impossible to indulge in women and the like. It's just that it's always a little too weird to be like this when someone like yourself who is obviously suspicious still exists.

"The limelight should be over now, right?, should we have some temptation and action?" When a whole year passed, the maid Caihuan beside Ling Ling still felt that her master was a little too careful.

After thinking for a while, Ling Ling still gave up his intention to carry out some deviant behavior: "Everything is as usual, but in the report sent, you can arrange some seemingly unintentional mistakes and omissions. Let's expand the scope of the previous concealment a little more. Since the Venerable Lord intends to be a deep palace emperor. Then don't let it bother too much... ”

In this way, Zhang Fan and the children around him discovered many things that were different from the actual situation in the following months. Some situations that are easy to hear in the people, such as where there are disasters, where the year is like, and what the general situation of people's income and taxes can still be barely reliable, but there are small discrepancies. It's just that some information on administrative expenditure items and some property rights has begun to be untrue. And these are difficult to detect through simple visits and rumors, and Zhang Fan doesn't seem to care about them.

It wasn't until this time when Zhang Fan came back for two years that Ling Ling also put his heart down to a large extent. Through some of the information channels he had, Ling Ling seemed to be able to judge that as he had guessed in the past, although the so-called Venerable Lord possessed some immortal-like means, he did have one weakness or another like a mortal.

It's just that at this time, Ling Ling didn't expect Zhang Fan to suddenly reply to himself, hoping that he and all the cronies around him would hold a meeting in the place indicated by his diagram.

Although he couldn't say why, Ling Ling always had some bad feelings at this time.

"Could it be that what we did in the past was discovered, but I don't think the last year has been very serious, if we beg for mercy this time... ”

Ling Ling seemed to be more sure of some of the risks he might encounter at this time, but after a moment of careful consideration, Ling Ling finally planned to take an adventure. Because in his empathy, Ling Ling seemed to realize that the Venerable Lord, who possessed some abilities that mortals did not possess, was likely to have included his own whereabouts and that of many people around him in the scope of direct monitoring at this moment. If you plan to leave, maybe some people around you can walk away, but obviously you can't. The only thing that made Ling Ling at this time still have some peace of mind was that it seemed that many things had been arranged before. Although I may not be able to fool the past in the worst situation I imagined, and I am not a very determined person, but if I am lucky, it is completely different.

This time, Ling Ling didn't choose to rebel in the end, but let a total of seven cronies around him in Pingyang New Town follow him to the direction of the secret path shown in the picture in the reply.

Although he didn't see Zhang Fan's figure, when he arrived in the specific underground court, Ling Ling still asked the woman beside him to kneel down seriously with himself in front of the entrance, "I respectfully follow the order of the Lord, Ling Ling and even all the top floors of Pingyang New Town are here, I don't know if I want to gather more people to come over... In the words, Ling Ling didn't dare to mix too many things, but there were still some unique things mixed in that voice, which seemed to make people feel a unique affinity unconsciously.

Zhang Fan didn't say anything after that, but seemed to be a little scornful, "You still seem to be hesitant before you come over, or before you leave, right?"

Hearing such an inquiry, Ling Ling also felt unprecedentedly nervous, but in the end, he still said frankly, "Ling Ling... Ling Ling was indeed worried that the Venerable Lord would make up his mind because he didn't trust Ling Ling, but then he thought it through. Whatever the Lord does, we simply cannot disobey ... ”

"Okay, you can ask one of the people around you to make arrangements, and gather the people on these lists in the entire Pingyang New Town, as well as the surrounding neighboring prefectures, to come over!" Zhang Fan did not shy away from saying anything, and sent over a list that seemed to have been prepared a long time ago and was not too short through some unique method.

At this time, Ling Ling was finally able to realize that some of the doom he was about to face might have come, but at this time, he didn't dare to say anything, and only when he ordered the matter to continue, and after the next two hours, with his unique technique, he could hear many familiar footsteps in a secret passage not too far behind him, and finally decided to beg for mercy in this situation.

"Your Excellency ... Ling Ling understood that any suspicions of the Venerable Lord were reasonable, and Ling Ling had indeed done a lot of things wrong before, but he still hoped that the Venerable Lord would make it clear how to punish him... ”

What Ling Ling didn't expect was that Zhang Fan didn't say anything more in a tone of condemnation, but just said very indifferently, "Actually, it's nothing, I just want to try some things in person, and I'm usually idle." This time, it may be months, maybe years. I hope to be able to try to rule the world myself as a mortal monarch or a monarch with a little bit of skill in the sky... ”

After Ling Ling was silent for a moment, he still felt that he should argue a few words, "Ling Ling knows that the Venerable Lord has great powers... But without some of the very specific supervision above, I am afraid that there may be chaos in many places... ”

"Probably not. If there is really any chaos, then fine, doesn't that just prove that you are indispensable?" Zhang Fan still seemed to return indifferently, as if he was impatient and did not notice it, and he didn't seem to be interested in showing some skills himself.

At this time, Ling Ling seemed to have guessed something when he thought back to some things, but it was obvious that there was not much point in saying anything more in this situation.

In this way, in the following days, Zhang Fan adjusted the mechanism of the recital system in the entire Pingyang New Town for the last time through spiritual power transmission, and set up a new place for the court meeting in a not very secret underground palace, and from then on, Zhang Fan and the children around him did not want to be as carefree as before.

In the case that many people want to assist, even if they don't use some special abilities, the ability of Zhang Fan and even the children around him seems to be significantly more than that of a top king who forgets to sleep and eat. It was only through the reading and analysis of the report and the materials that took only about three days that I soon discovered that there were a lot of cats. In the face of this situation, Zhang Fan and even many people around him unceremoniously carried out a large-scale personnel purge and adjustment. It's just that it didn't set off a bloody storm again as many people imagined.

In the last month or so, a total of 10,000 officials were subjected to various degrees of treatment, which maintained considerable pressure and did not bring much turmoil. And it seems that many people have a feeling that the fine work around them is everywhere, and many specific things can be noticed by the lord who is far away in the tower palace of Pingyang New Town.

A follow-up effect brought about by this is that many cases squeezed out by the new round of people, and even many people and things that need to be dealt with, have set off a wave of indirect fluctuations. From the administrative to the judiciary to the maintenance of law and order, and even the ranks for basic garrison purposes, they have begun to be reorganized to varying degrees.

Of course, this kind of rectification cannot be described as a purge, nor does it exceed the scope of imagination and even expectation of many people. If it's just a gust of wind, it doesn't seem to be as strong as it seems. It's just that as time continues, many people feel that this is not as simple as a gust of wind, but that many of the previous rules and spaces have been reshaped to a large extent.

The result that followed was not the kind of turmoil that had been brought about by the great compression of the needs of many other areas. Because of the improvement of the entire business and judicial system, benign spontaneous industry and commerce have also been greatly improved. The quality of products from culture to ordinary products has also undergone changes with the improvement of the cost and income of many industries. Of course, this process may seem immediate and fast, but it took a year or so or more to manifest itself.

Because many of Zhang Fan's actions suppressed the market from the military garrison to many other places, at least in the first year, it seems that the tax situation did not improve, and even declined, and the scale of the unemployed was not small.

But from the second year onwards, it became clear that the situation was much more ordinary. Many people have found that in many places there is a significant reduction in the resistance to normal business activities in the city, and the costs in all aspects have been greatly reduced. There are still a lot of additional burdens, but they are fundamentally different from what they used to be.

It's just that at this time, Zhang Fan also learned some more complicated things through the analysis of various reports and even some situations on his own patrol. Even if the problems of the administrative and power systems are solved, there are many long-standing ills in the spontaneous business habits and customs of the people. For example, invisible industry thresholds and local barriers, and even exclusion and restriction of new households. Plagiarism, imitation and even various judicial disputes among the people are often resolved through very backward methods, or even impossible to solve at all. In this case, Zhang Fan also began to prepare, spend a certain amount of energy and time, improve a number of codes, and widely popularize and popularize the problems found. According to Zhang Fan's original preparation, tens of millions of words are counted, but there are no codes and principles for water, including the construction of various systems, etc., even with his own unique ability, it will take at least a month or more to complete, but the actual time is still much shorter than he imagined.
