Chapter 282: The Land of the Fall of the Dou Emperor

"Let's get started. Youkai, you can set up your teleportation array. After speaking, Mo Lan closed his eyes and sank into the fighting spirit again. In Sprite's white and black pupils, the light kept flickering, as if she was struggling inside.

After a while, he seemed to have decided something, and began to set up a teleportation array with high-grade magic crystals on the side.

Spicy Tiao sighed slightly, and smiled faintly at Rheintes, "If you want to unravel the secret that exists in the ancient times of the Dou Emperor's Fallen Land, I'm afraid you need to take a little risk." ”

Reintes' face was very ugly, and from the bottom of his heart he did not approve of such a dangerous act that was somewhat crazy. But he knew that the three of them would not be at ease that he would stay on the mainland alone. If he showed the slightest intention of not leaving, the three of them would inevitably do their best to keep themselves in the valley.

Reintes, who was helpless, smiled bitterly at Spicy Strip: "I hope we are not committing suicide." A ray of golden light that is difficult to see with the naked eye, a hazy white light, a distorted space, and at the same time vaguely integrated into the body of the falling sky.

The Three Great Dou Emperors didn't know that Mo Lan, who was leaning against the tree and seemed to be unaware, was urging the wooden sword hidden in the Falling Heaven Body with all his strength in the fighting soul to defend against the dangerous forces that entered the Falling Heaven body.

Time was passing slowly, and half a day passed quickly. Sprite in the teleportation array suddenly sensed the calm of the line in the entrance, and the four people in the teleportation array disappeared out of thin air, as if they had never existed. When Falling Sky opened his eyes again, he was the only one left in the empty valley of Samat.

Mo Lan's voice still echoed in the Falling Sky Fighting Spirit, "Quickly get out of the valley, and my blessing will disappear soon." Go to the Flame Empire, join the Holy See, how to do it, the Jade Pavilion will inform you. And their one-year agreement was canceled. You are not allowed to enter this valley again. ”

Mo Lan's message made Luotian's heart secretly chill. He was sure that Mo Lan wanted to trap the other three in the place where the Dou Emperor fell forever......

The imperial capital of China, in the palace of Qinzheng. As usual, at 10 a.m., the most important administrative meeting of the empire, the Early Dynasty, was held.

This time. It is the time when officials at all levels in the imperial capital, as well as representatives of various territories in the imperial capital, gather the most. No one dared to use any excuse to evade the emperor's early dynasty, and the emperor had a complex set of monitoring and supervision methods for officials who were not in the dynasty.

Fu Suifeng looked down at the hundreds of officials in the main hall, and his eyes, which had become sharper and sharper over the past few months, swept over their brand-new official uniforms. After a moment, he said with a calm face: "A few months." The Imperial treasury has shrunk by a third, what explanation do you have. ”

Fu Suifeng's face made the atmosphere of the entire hall very dull, although Xu Ying had a special relationship with Fu Suifeng, but as the Minister of Finance, Xu Ying had to step out of the queue under pressure and kneel in the center of the hall, "Your Majesty, the imperial finances have shrunk. The main reason is that the recent reform efforts of the director of the Ministry of Etiquette are too strong.

He not only redesigned the clothing, etiquette, supplies, and racks of officials at all levels, but also in the people. They also began to increase subsidies to stimulate people to change some customs, clothing, and etiquette, and this series of seemingly meaningless reforms was very useful. ”

For those who have opinions about Dong Lao, it seems that Xu Ying is not alone, and his voice fell. Mo Biao also stood up, walked in the center of the main hall, and after saluting Fu Suifeng, he said, "Your Majesty, what Lord Xu Ying said is very reasonable. Various reforms of the ceremonial secretary elders. It seems to me that these are trivial things, useless for the development of the empire, and the costs of all kinds of trivial things are very staggering. ”

"In the case of the official seal system proposed by him, it is indeed beneficial for officials at all levels to form a system to facilitate the management of the whole empire, as well as the identification of various systems.

However, in the texture of the official seal, Dong Lao insisted on using amethyst, and the process and procedure of the formation pattern added in the production were very complicated. This official seal alone consumes one-tenth of the empire's amethyst reserves, and I don't think it's necessary at all. ”

As an imperial general, Mo Biao spoke, and many officials came out to reconsider, all of which were the shortcomings and trivialities of the reforms implemented by impeaching Dong Lao.

The theory of the uselessness of reform slowly took shape under the controversy of the ministers.

Fu Suifeng frowned, although he couldn't see some of Dong Lao's intention to reform for the time being, but this was what Mo Lan meant, and before showing great harm, Fu Suifeng didn't want to resist Mo Lan's decision. He really believed in his heart that Mo Lan would not do anything that would damage the empire.

Floating Sea Treasure, dressed in a black gold-patterned robe, walked out of the line. The black official uniform on his body is also designed by Dong Lao, this color official uniform, in the empire, only the left and right prime ministers are qualified to wear it.

Fu Haibao moved to the ministers in the debate with a pair of empty eyes, and coughed lightly: "Regarding Dong Lao's various reform plans, they are all approved by His Majesty and the God King, what's the matter, you have better suggestions?"

Although Fu Haibao himself knew the significance of Dong Lao's actions, it must be more effective to raise Mo Lan to these ministers with rigid thinking than to explain.

Fu Haibao's words made the hall instantly quiet, and many ministers, with their eyes a little flustered, swept over an empty chair in the corner of the hall. Floating Haibao seemed very satisfied with the effect of his words, smiled and continued, "Instead of arguing here about how to throttle money, you should think about how to open up the source for the empire. ”

Mo Biao finally knew why Fu Suifeng didn't stop Dong Lao, who seemed to be reforming indiscriminately. It turned out that Dong Lao had his grandson behind him, as a grandfather, how could he be against his grandson.

The divine light in Mo Biao's eyes flashed, and Xiang Fu said with the wind: "Since Dong Lao's reform is the intention of His Majesty and the God King, then there must be a meaning that we can't understand, but the financial crisis faced by the empire must also be solved." ”

Mo Biao paused, seemed to sort out his thoughts, and continued: "Your Majesty, in fact, with the huge territory of the empire, it is possible to bear the cost of these reforms, and there is more than enough. It's just that the various taxes in the various territories of the empire are now unequal and not transparent enough, which is probably the root cause of the treasury's inadequacy. ”

Mo Biao said it very tactfully, in fact, there are many harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes in the various territories of the empire, but the taxes handed over to the central government are never much. Therefore, although the Chinese Empire was rich, it only enriched the major lords, not the country.

Fu Suifeng waited for a long time, and finally waited for someone to raise the question he really cared about, he nodded approvingly to Mo Biao, "Representatives of the major territories, what do you think of Mo Biao's question?"

Mo Biao, who rolled in the court for more than thirty years, took the lead in taking a step forward, "Your Majesty, the old minister is willing to return the right to set taxes and taxes in the Mo family's territory to the central government." Of course, it is hoped that the central government will also be able to arrange the rational use of the territory. (To be continued.) )
