At this end, Zhao Yunling wanted to go back to see how the subordinates who were trading with Linshui Country were living now, after all, they had not been in touch for a long time, and when they arrived at their homes, she found that they had gone to the empty building.

For this reason, Zhao Yunling sighed with emotion, and felt that there was no longer any concern for the Holy Ma Kingdom, and the two of them were about to leave.

"Hero! Please stay, please have mercy on us, stay and help us. The people regarded Zhao Yunling and Rong Yan as heroes in their eyes, people knelt on the street, begging bitterly, the people of Shengma were indeed innocent, and the people took out the only food they had at home, hoping to keep them, Rong Yan was a little moved when he saw this scene.

The ministers of the Holy Kingdom rode over and blocked the city gate directly, and the ministers really had no choice, the original king was too suspicious, and the army was directly managed by the king alone, and now the hundred officials want to manage the army again, it is really powerless.

"Please help the people of the country of Shengma, now, although the country of Linshui has not annexed our country, but now this matter has been spread, if there is an enemy army at this time, the country of Shengma will not be able to resist, and then the people will become slaves, displaced, and their families will be ruined." These old ministers spoke earnestly, their eyes were red, and it was helpless to beg Rong Yan to stay.

Although what they said is indeed reasonable, Rong Yan now has both children and daughters, he has experienced too much recently, and he no longer wants to wade into this troubled water, "Don't hide it from you, I have no intention of this, I'm afraid I will let you down." ”

A little girl suddenly ran out of the street, hugged Zhao Yunling's legs, and wanted Zhao Yunling to agree, Zhao Yunling saw that this little girl looked very pleasing, so he asked, "Why do you want us to agree?" ”

"My parents were killed in the chaos, and I am now being adopted by Sister-in-law Li, who said, you can change here, and there will be no other children who will lose their parents in the future." The little girl had a milky voice, her eyes were wide open, and she didn't see the damage in her eyes, but looked at Zhao Yunling with hope.

couldn't help but sigh, Zhao Yunling only felt that there was something blocked in his throat, turned around, and looked at Rong Yan.

Rong Yan was also looking at the little girl, and it could be seen that Rong Yan looked guilty, the little girl ran away, and everyone was still trying their best to persuade Rong Yan, but Rong Yan didn't refuse, just paused, and then replied: "Okay, I promise, but I also said in advance here, just temporarily manage, and I will leave when I have a suitable candidate." ”

"That'...... Well, anyway, as long as you're willing to help us. The ministers looked at each other at first, but then they felt that Rong Yan might just want to be modest, so they agreed, after all, it was so easy to find someone who was suitable to be the king.

Zhao Yunling and Rong Yan refused all extravagant things, but for convenience, they still accepted the minister's proposal and moved into a quiet and simple room in the palace closest to the main hall.

"Your letter, King, is from a neighboring country." At this moment, a servant ran over with a nervous look on his face, and a letter in his hand.

Neighbors? Rong Yan was a little surprised, seeing that it was Ling Fengchen's signature, Rong Yan nodded, and let the servant go, Ling Fengchen was arrogant and naïve, and now the political situation in Linshui Country has stabilized, at this time, there is probably no urgency to find Rong Yan, Rong Yan opened the letter unhurriedly, leaned back in the chair to read the letter.

The letter probably reads: Rong Yan, since I sent troops to help you, the court of Linshui Country has become more stable, and the people and ministers are very convinced of me.

"Okay, I'll wait." When Rong Yan saw this letter, he was pleased, and actually said to himself on the letter, he witnessed Ling Fengchen's growth, it was indeed not easy to go all the way, the days when the tsundere boy found fault from time to time, it was quite interesting to think about it now, Rong Yan smiled faintly, folded the letter, and put it in the cabinet.

Rong Yan did not officially go to court, Rong Yan sat at the bottom, and he asked everyone to report on the things within their jurisdiction, although these ministers complained, but they swallowed back because of their admiration for Rong Yan.

"King! We have recently caught a gang of thieves who steal the tributes of the Holy Church, and according to the law, they are to have their hands chopped off to warn the world. The minister also knows that this move is cruel, but this is the law that has always been the case, if it is not implemented according to the rules, I am afraid that no one will obey the law in the future, but if it is implemented, it will arouse public resentment, so he said this matter, and wanted to ask Rong Yan's thoughts.

Rong Yan was a little surprised for a while, he never knew that there was such a law here, the Holy Sect was a scam from beginning to end, and there were a large number of people in the sect who only cared about collecting money, and misled the disciples not to follow the right path, resulting in fewer and fewer laborers in the Holy Ma Country.

"From today onwards, all activities related to the Holy Religion are prohibited, and in the future, our people will believe in themselves, their conscience, and a clear country, and they will not need the Holy Religion in the future." Rong Yan sat with the ministers with a solemn expression, even if he didn't use the dragon chair, the aura on Rong Yan's body and the charm of his personality made the ministers respect him.

But as soon as Rong Yan's words came out, the ministers still talked about it, after all, the Holy Religion has not existed in the Holy Ma Kingdom for a year or two, and there are more or less believers in the family, "King, please think twice, there are many believers in the sect, and this move may stimulate more radical believers to come out and make trouble." The minister was worried about Rong Yan's move.

"Ask for the people's life, why be afraid?" Rong Yan's voice was low, but very powerful, echoing in the huge palace.

Although this proposal caused public anger, but after all, it did not infringe on any big interests, so it was only displeased in the hearts of some people, and a few ministers saw that Rong Yan had made up his mind, so he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "The king is really a great king, this kind of courage is not comparable to us." ”

Rong Yan announced that there was no more Holy Religion in the Kingdom of Shengma.

"You are frightened, from today onwards, everything in the kingdom of Saint-Mar has come again, and I invite you to dinner just to hear your thoughts." Rong Yan invited the people who stole the tribute, and he asked them to make good dishes to entertain them.

When these people saw the meat, they devoured it and stuffed it into their mouths, not caring for anything.

Rong Yan smiled helplessly, and had to wait for these people to eat before asking, "I have abolished the Holy Sect now, but I still want to ask you, why do you steal?" ”

"To tell you, king, we are honest farmers, but we will not steal anything if we stutter, we are hungry, and if we are used to stealing, we will not be easily caught." The person who spoke had an honest face, rough knuckles, and calluses on one hand, but what he said was true.

Rong Yan frowned tightly, even more puzzled, "Recently, I haven't heard of any drought or flood, and besides, this country is not big. ”

"Lord King, you are really wise, where can we get our turn in drought and flood? The land and official positions of the Holy Ma Kingdom are hereditary, we have no land, and the rent has risen sharply recently, and we have no food to eat if we don't farm, so we have to steal the tribute of the Holy Sect. After this person finished speaking, he couldn't help but smile bitterly for a while, and Rong Yan couldn't laugh anymore.

Rong Yan sensed the stakes, snapped the chopsticks in his hand and threw them on the table, his face was pale, and he immediately turned around and summoned the minister to discuss the matter.

"I am calling you here to tell you what you cannot delay for a moment! In the future, the throne was elected by election, the official position was subject to the imperial examination system, and the land was redistributed according to the population. Rong Yan endured his anger, he didn't come to discuss with the ministers, he just came to inform them.

His face was not good-looking, and Rong Yan now knew that the country was rotten, the peasants had no land to plant, and they had been taxed for generations, and they still had to feed the children of these families with fine clothes and fine food.

"What? I disagree! Six generations of my family have been officials in the court, if it is broken in my generation, go underground, how to explain to the clan? "The hereditary officials came forward one after another, and the emotions were agitated, which undoubtedly hurt his interests.

The crowd boiled and became two parties, discussing the pros and cons of doing so, and many of them were in favor of it, but they had many doubts about its implementation.

Only some children from poor families stood up without hesitation, "I agree, I am a book cultivator, and I have compiled two very famous books during my tenure, but because of my poor family, I am still idle." ”

"You're just going to make up a broken book here to ask for credit? My ancestors were the founding fathers of the country. The two sides quarreled with each other, and for a while, the hall was like a vegetable market, and the noise was abnormal, and these big-bellied children of the family stood here with the merits of their ancestors, and they were ashamed to oppress the people, Rong Yan's expression was gloomy, and he suddenly stood up.

"If you don't listen to me, it's okay, since I can't do anything, and I won't do this king, you can find the master, I want to see, after the kingdom of Saint Ma is gone, what will you still inherit?" Rong Yan took off the yellow coat that symbolized the king, and threw it directly to the ground, and then walked out, the room was quieter than before, and the ministers were stupid.

Just as Rong Yan's leg was about to step out, a person suddenly pounced over and saved Rong Yan's leg, "King, we know it's wrong, just forgive us, we actually understand that there are no eggs under the nest, and we were in a hurry just now." Everyone nodded, and these people stopped making trouble, and they all agreed with Rong Yan's policy.

Rong Yan thought of the law of the Kingdom of Shengma from these two things, and after checking the legal code, he found that there were many loopholes in the law, and he ordered it to be revised again.

"Have you gone to see the new law? This law can be said to be beneficial to the country and the people, and many laws are aimed at our people. As soon as the new policy came out, everyone in the streets and alleys of St. Mar applauded the new law, everyone had their own livelihood and could eat, and St. Mar naturally became stable.

Although some people are still dissatisfied with Rong Yan's approach, most people understand that these changes are enough to make those neighboring countries who are eyeing the country of Saint-Ma rein.
