In the year of Yi Mao, early summer.

The secret realm of Lanqingji in Yongning Prefecture was closed, and the Immortal Sword Sect topped the Chu State, ushering in another spring.

The next decade...... The royal family does not need to pass on the handle to emigrate, and it is still the Du family that is protected by the Immortal Sword to dominate the Chu State.

At the same time, the treacherous court gradually calmed down.

The Du family lost a queen mother in the foundation building period, and a Dan master in the Jindan realm was missing.

But he got the effectiveness of the Zhou family, and Zhou Yunfeng, the grandfather of the Zhou family, broke through the golden pill, and the longevity continued for another two hundred years, which was enough to curb the decline caused by Duan Wen's desire to leave the imperial city.

Compared with the turmoil in the court, the cultivation world has set off even more amazing monstrous waves.

The Immortal Sword Sect traveled thousands of miles and pocketed all the veins in the eight southwestern counties.

The three Jindan elders of the Sixiangmen disappeared and fell apart completely, and their disciples also became scattered cultivators without sects and sects......

The Danxia Sect, which is far away, although there is no ore vein, still retains a county of land to recuperate.

In Qingquan County in the Northern Desert, the cold ice valley is gaining momentum, swallowing the veins of the three counties and Fang City, and no one stops it.

A young man surnamed Li with an indifferent face walked away from the northern desert land in the wind.

Instead, he went to Tianshui County to find an opportunity to tie the Dan.

At this time when the world was in turmoil, one after another government decrees also came out from the imperial city and distributed to all parts of the Chu State.

Nanze removed the county seat and was included in Wu'an County.

The county guard of Qingquan County can enter the Cold Ice Valley to become an elder of Keqing.

The shark people of the East China Sea made trouble, and the garrison increased 50,000 troops to stabilize the counties and towns along the coastline.

However, before the imperial decree reached the East China Sea......

The isolated island, called Shendao Island, has already drifted to the end of the sea between the huge waves.

Countless monks watched quietly...... This time, Lan Qingji, the Divine Sword Sect Master Lu Qing, entered the world brazenly, but he didn't want to end up like this.

The Qingyun Wall on the island, which has been singing about the Chu State for decades, still stands quietly. The word "kill" on it is incomparably vast, and you feel a chill just by looking at it.

That is the essence of the sword intent carved with Yuan Ying Xiu, if you can't comprehend it but you have to force your gaze, it will damage the soul.

But what was even more terrifying was the sword qi that came from outside the sky!

On that day, there was no wind but the tide rose, and the clouds retreated by themselves, as if they were afraid of the sword light flying from Songshan County in Chu State.

The sharp sword seems to have been transmitted by the wind and clouds, and it seems to be distorted by time and space.

A little sword intent!

There was a loud bang and a thousand waves.

The Qingyun Wall of Shendaoyu was suddenly cut in half, and then there was no sound on the sea.

Everyone has already understood that the Immortal Sword is declaring its absolute control over the Chu State, Lu Qing had previously killed Nanze County, and the Immortal Sword Sect had not made any moves.

Instead, wait until the overall situation is settled, and then take action directly...... Completely frustrate the sharpness of the divine sword.

And in the extreme south of the Chu State, the yellow sand is flying all over the sky.

A pair of young men and women in the Qi refining period rode a fast horse together and entered the territory of Liguo.

The woman's face was a little haggard, and she said softly, "Husband, is there any news from the sect?" ”

Miao Jian's face was full of determination, and he shook his head slightly: "Let's go and leave the country to join Senior Brother Qian...... He has already built a foundation, and he is still surrounded by many disciples of Danxia in the past. ”

"Good...... I'm with my husband. ”

The young man clamped his legs between the horse's belly, and his weak consciousness always paid attention to the movements around him, and then tightened his waist around Shen Shi and left the Chu State, where he had lived for more than 20 years.

……

Fifteen days later...... The long-stretching turmoil has finally arrived in Lanxian Town.

On the sheep intestine path between the mountains and fields, five soldiers with knives in thin armor pushed each other and laughed and hurried.

It didn't take long to reach this tiny village.

The leader pulled out the household register he had with him, and with a wave of his hand, the four servants behind him began to knock on the door.

"It's time to pay the Ding tax!"

"The man in charge of the town came out to answer!"

"If there is a man in the house, open the door!"

……

Wang Shuyue quietly listened to the movement in the town and looked at her husband: "Husband, I came to collect taxes." ”

Zhao Qing nodded slightly, ordinary people have to pay taxes.

After a little thought, he pressed his wife's shoulder and stepped forward to open the courtyard door.

The aunt jumped off the eaves and said softly: "I should be able to recreate the household register, just answer truthfully." ”

"Our name and surname can't go out of Lin'an County, so we don't have to make branches in the town."

Half an hour later.

Zhao Qing's family sat in the courtyard and ate noodles quietly, and it was the beef stew cooked by the aunt herself.

The five servants wandered slowly into the courtyard, glanced at each other, and sat directly on the bluestone steps.

I didn't think of myself as an outsider at all.

"When I came over a few years ago...... You're not the one who lives here, are you? ”

Zhao Qing put down his chopsticks, got up and said with a smile: "Official, we moved from Songshan County......

The leading officer twisted his body, slowly relaxed, rested his elbows on his legs, and carefully flipped through the household register.

Then he asked, "If you are not temporarily resettled, you will have to be registered in the Provisional Household Register, and if your family is lost in the future...... The government can also have traces to follow. ”

Zhao Qing smiled.

I didn't expect this Lin'an errand officer to be quite easy to speak, although the other party's tone was gentle.

But he is undoubtedly asking who his surname is and where he lives in Songshan County, I am afraid that after making the register, he will have to send it to Songshan for verification.

"Contemptible Zhao Qing, these three are my wives."

"Wang Shuyue, Gu Qinghuan, Zhou Xiaoyi."

"In the spring of this year, I moved from Nanluoguxiang, Songshan County, and went directly to Lin'an County."

He directly reported his name and surname according to the earlier arrangement, and his aunt was born in the Prime Minister's Mansion and would not mess up such a simple matter.

The difference was expressionless, and his eyes looked at the table full of beef noodles.

He said: "The imperial court announced that for the Qing Changsheng Sword Sect Yongzhen Dachu, the local Ding tax will be reduced for three years. ”

"You only need to pay the remaining seven years of taxes."

"One young man, two hundred dollars a year. Three women, each of whom is worth 120 yuan per year. ”

"It should be three thousand nine hundred and twenty wen, which is equivalent to three taels and ninety-two coins of silver."

As he spoke, he took out the scissors from his bosom and prepared to weigh the scissors silver.

The corners of Zhao Qing's mouth twitched.

Seven years of tax at once?

Wang Shuyue went to the room and took a little bit of broken silver and handed it to the officer.

The other party simply said that he had cut four taels, and then said with a smile: "Four people are four taels, not much." ”

"If the court is turbulent, it is really the common people who suffer."

He looked at the errand officer beside him and said with a smile, "Is there still a face...... The brothers didn't eat, and we gave money. ”

Charge an extra 80 yuan for Lao Tzu to buy noodles to eat, right?

Zhao Qing smiled bitterly: "No, I'm sorry for the official." ”

What are you kidding, it's not easy for my aunt to cook a meal, how can I give it to others.

After the errand left, Wang Shuyue closed the courtyard door.

Returning to the table to continue eating, she looked at Qing Huan and then said with a smile: "The husband has been in the sect for too long, and the Ding tax of the imperial court is actually not heavy, and it used to be paid for ten years......

"Shuyue saw it once when she was young."

Zhao Qing nodded silently and said softly: "There are 130,000 people in Lin'an...... This tax alone has 13,000 taels of gold, which is equivalent to more than 1,000 spirit stones. ”

Zhou Xiaoyi tapped her head and put down the dishes and chopsticks in her hand.

He said in a low voice: "There are too few people in Lin'an, and the imperial court ...... this time At least two million spirit stones will be credited to the account. ”

Two million spirit stones!

Zhao Qing smacked his tongue slightly, low-level monks also have a certain demand for gold and silver, and most of the silver money taken by the imperial court was exchanged for spirit stones.

However, when I think of the ten-year Ding tax, it is only two million spirit stones...... Actually, it's not too much.

Auntie's consciousness swept, and then Dai Mei frowned slightly and shook her head and sighed.

"Wang Deren couldn't pay the money, so Leshan people came out for him."

"I'll go to the town and fill in any gaps."

As soon as her voice fell, she left the mansion directly.

Only half a bowl of meat noodles is left in the porcelain bowl with oil, and the sauce-red beef tendon meat is lumpy and exudes an enticing aroma.

Auntie's cooking skills have made great progress......

Zhao Qing sighed in his heart, then looked at Shuyue and Qinghuan, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry about Xiaoyi." ”

"The spirit stones of the imperial court should be used to cultivate their own foundation building masters, and they should also be offered to the three golden pills."

"One of them is the ...... of the Zhou family"

He sighed slightly.

Jindan overhaul! There is Duan Wenyi in the front, and Zhou Yunfeng in the back.

The cultivation and worship of the imperial court are all ordinary fish and rice......
