Chapter 518: Tyrant or Benevolent?

The highest level of the Great Heavenly Immortal Law is also to cultivate to the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

It's not that the Great Heavenly Master has cultivated to only reach the Heavenly Immortals, but that the True Immortal Road can't be displayed at all.

According to Jiang Sibai's understanding, the heavenly immortals are the position, interaction, and coordination between themselves and heaven and earth, while the true immortals are to cultivate themselves and realize their own truth.

It is the 'Returning to Truth' that he himself has pondered earlier.

He didn't have much understanding of this realm before, and he didn't know how to achieve it.

But thanks to Hei Tianzun, under the oppression of Hei Tianzun, he almost returned to the True Spirit River.

It was in that situation that he saw his 'true nature'.

It was his true spirit, and it was impossible to describe its appearance, but it was a light, a spiritual light that belonged to him.

Jiang Sibai pondered and pondered about the various inheritances of the Great Immortal Sect, and at the same time began to pursue his own true spirit.

He withdrew his gaze, which had been looking into the distance, and began to monitor himself, to feel his own mind.

The process is slow, and it also needs to be quiet.

Fortunately, everything was with Master at this time, and he could carry out this part of his practice with peace of mind.

He thought about it a lot, because there was that moment of feeling, so he desperately wanted to recall, define that feeling, and then grasp it for himself.

However, he thought a lot and gave many definitions, but no matter how deeply he felt that he thought about the true spirit and how comprehensive the definition was, he could never really touch it.

If it can't be reached, how is it different from a fantasy?

Eventually, he became dizzy and simply lay down and closed his eyes.

But his mind was still habitually cranky.

He didn't pay attention to it anymore, and gradually he actually had the feeling of being a bystander, as if his other self was 'watching' his own thoughts.

Jiang Sibai thought this was really interesting, so he maintained this state of 'spectator' for a while.

It wasn't until the chaotic thoughts slowly dissipated that he fell into an indescribable silence.

There was a brief moment in the silence in which he could not think of anything, only an ethereal silence that surprised him.

However, it was precisely because of this surprise that all the thoughts in his mind popped up again, breaking his ethereal.

Rao is like this, that short ethereal silence makes Jiang Sibai full of aftertaste and yearning.

He wanted to continue to pursue this feeling, but he was soon swallowed up by a cloud of distractions.

The next day, he reluctantly got up, realizing that he must have touched his true spirit again, but unfortunately it was only for a short time.

"It seems that the next practice is to cultivate the mind well."

He muttered to himself.

The way of cultivation, return to the virtual realm to comprehend the void, the Mahayana period has cultivated the immortal body, the heavenly fairy realm is the induction of heaven and man, and the true fairy realm should naturally cultivate itself.

Is this time the cultivation of the mind, or the cultivation of nature?

Jiang Sibai suddenly discovered that many of the ways of cultivating the mind of the Sex Peak were actually similar.

Maybe the inheritance of the Seeing Sex Peak is just to go further on the road of cultivation, but Jiang Sibai looked back at this time, if the inheritance of the Seeing Sex Peak could go all the way, he always felt that he could go straight to the true immortal.

Of course, the premise is that the cultivator can endure loneliness and realize the true Tao in a mere hundred years.

Then once awakened, he became an immortal.

Jiang Sibai suddenly thought that his own Shenhua Zhenren didn't seem to have given up the cultivation of the Seeing Peak until now, maybe he would be the next True Immortal in the future?

Jiang Sibai failed to grasp his true nature this time, and was a little annoyed, and after thinking about it for a while, he simply got up and went to Mr. Wen to relax.

Gongsun Zhi has been leading the army to fight outside for more than half a year, and he doesn't know what the situation is now?

"I've seen the Divine Monarch."

When Mr. Wen saw Gongsun Zhi coming, he immediately brought his subordinates to greet him.

No one dares to be disrespectful, after all, this is the Sheji Divine Monarch.

The living kind.

"Don't be surprised, I'm just here to ask how the state is doing now?"

Jiang Sibai greeted with a smile.

Mr. Wen treated him like a monarch at this time, so he immediately sorted out the folds and other things, and said as if he was reporting his results to Gongsun Zhi.

"Most of the northern regions occupied by my Great Zhou have been able to achieve self-sufficiency, and the grain production in the Gyeonggi region has also recovered to seventy percent of what it used to be in previous years, but because the king collects taxes according to the acres of land without discrimination, the grain and grass obtained are enough to support the 100,000 army for half a year."

"As for the king, he is sitting in Korea at this time, and if there is a king in Korea, all the cities in Korea will not dare to oppose it."

"However, after the defeat and death of King Zhao's soldiers, the new king of Zhao succeeded to the throne, and he did not dare to fight the king head-on."

"They used city after city as a barrier and started a tug-of-war with the king."

"The king is indeed invincible in the field, but the loss of the siege war cannot be avoided, because the king is temporarily stopped at the border of Zhao State, and he will not attack at will before there is a good way to attack those fortified cities."

Jiang Sibai nodded, in fact, Gongsun Zhi was also dragged down by this Han land after seizing the Han land.

The fundamental reason for this is that he does not have the support of the wealthy people of the Korean land.

So he asked, "What do the people of Korea think of the Monument to Judgment?" ”

Mr. Wen said: "The people are very receptive to the Judgment Monument, but those wealthy families are quite disdainful of it. ”

Jiang Sibai nodded and said, "That's enough." ”

Then he didn't worry about Gongsun Zhi anymore, according to his understanding of Gongsun Zhi's temperament, this overlord should soon be impatient to attack these local wealthy families.

After all, in Gongsun Zhi's heart, these wealthy families are of no help to him, they are just dragging their feet.

Things turned out as Jiang Sibai expected, and Gongsun Zhi soon implemented 'tyranny' in Korea.

The number of registered households in Korea is very small, less than six or seven hundred thousand people, but the number of people hidden by the family is at least one million, and this is the population that is not registered in the household registration.

And Gongsun Zhi's 'tyranny' is to measure the land, and then collect taxes with more land!

The work of measuring the land does not need to be bothered by people at all, and with Jiang Sibai's order, the local land god can report all the detailed data.

Taxes are then levied at different levels according to the proportion of the population to the land per household.

For example, if a family has two acres of land, then the tax is less.

If there are ten acres of land per capita, the tax will be slightly more.

And per capita 100 mu or even 1,000 mu, the tax ratio will jump up geometrically.

This is undoubtedly a policy specifically aimed at large households.

If the big families really pay taxes according to this ratio, I am afraid that they will go bankrupt directly.

They had only two ways to go: first, hand over the vast majority of the encroached land, dismiss most of the tenant farmers, and limit their family business to a certain extent.

Second, rebellion.

These two choices, one is to break the fortune, and the other is to lose your life.

And Gongsun Zhi hadn't given them any time to hesitate.

If you delay and don't pay taxes, then you will send troops to attack on the spot, and you will directly raid your family and destroy your ancestors.

For a time, the wealthy families of South Korea were in mourning.

Of course, there are many people who choose to rebel.

But will Gongsun Zhi be afraid of rebellion?

His rule over the Han Land was already unstable, and it was just a matter of killing a group to be peaceful.

It's just that he seems to be so murderous, but in fact, he gives all his gentleness to Qianshou.

This really benefited the people, because the high tax was only for those who had more land, and the tax for those with less land was lowered.

For a time, the tyrant in the mouth of Haoqiang was a benevolent king in the mouth of Qianshou.

Gongsun Zhi's image in the eyes of the world is quite divided.
