Chapter 606: Jade Note
Wuxu sword slashed the plum fairy, Zhang Cuilu and others subdued the four maids.
The Nara Mei Fairy, who was seriously injured by Zeng Shan before, barely recovered most of them by taking advantage of the many souls that appeared on Chinese New Year's Eve last night. It didn't take long for him to be stabbed by the Enlightenment Nebula Sword, and then he was ingested into the Enlightenment Void Dharma Realm and annihilated, leaving no trace of fragrant soul behind.
The Lamei Fairy, the soul was scattered, and the four maids couldn't last long, so they were immediately restrained by Zhang Cuilu and others, ingested into the Dharma Realm and extinguished.
Wuxu fused with Zhang Cuilu and the other Dharma realms, and gave them the pure vitality obtained by the Silent Plum Fairy. Subsequently, together with them, he manifested the appearance of the law, swept through Yongzhou, collected all the souls of the dead, and reinstated the wishes of ordinary people.
Zhang Cuilu and others, after this incident, actually realized their own understanding, and they all retreated. Wu Xuan had to be in the Dharma Realm all the time, not only to maintain the Great Array of City Protection, but also to maintain the Great Array of Heavenly Eyes in Snow Peach Valley, and also to deal with the aftermath of the Chinese New Year's Eve.
After Chinese New Year's Eve, the new dollar begins. In Yongzhou City, in addition to some garrisons (including monks) and the city lord's mansion, they are the children of the Xiao family and the people of the Demon Domain.
After some deliberation and bargaining, the plum garden was officially fixed as a garrison in the general's permanent residence. The Luo family's mansion was allocated to the anti-smuggling detachment. The mansion of the Huyan family and its related properties were assigned to Xiao Jiadong. The big collection of everything is under the private names of Fairy Yu and Xiao Jiadong. The mansion of the Yelu family, considering the relationship between the Yelu family and the Daomen, is temporarily empty. The rest were all owned by the city lord's mansion, and the Li family's mansion was placed under Wuxu's personal name, and Wuxu was kept as the monk's stronghold in the city.
With so many empty houses, Wuxu originally wanted to relocate the ordinary people back to the city to increase some popularity. However, due to the provisions of the "Promotion of Amendment Order", it had to be abandoned.
It was also during this period that Wu Xuan received news one after another, on Chinese New Year's Eve, in the first month, in many places in Dazhou, there were similar changes, and many local wealthy families no longer existed; luckily the remainder, like the Xiao family in Yongzhou, rushed to the imperial court, and took the initiative to accept the reform, dismissing most of the family.
This process was extremely rough and bloody, and it is said that tens of thousands of monks in the Great Zhou Dynasty (including the monks of the six major sects in the Great Zhou) died, and there were more than 100 true spiritual monks among them. As for the layman, there were not many casualties, because the vast majority of the layman had been relocated in a centralized manner according to the "Promotion of Amendment Order".
It wasn't long before another decree was issued. This decree is called the New Tax Order. The main content is that in the territory of the Great Zhou, in addition to the official belonging, every monk above the real level and below the level of true spirit must pay a spiritual tax every ten years, which is complicated to be levied by the state capital and county seat where he is located. If there is any resistance and non-payment, it can be punished by the local state capital and county. The amount of the first tax payment is 1,000 spirit stones (which can be discounted by other things), and the specific deadline is set within three months after the promulgation of this order.
A thousand spirit stones, it is not too much to say, and it is not too little to say less. The point is that this is a poll tax, which has never been done since the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty! Many monks oppose it, but they dare not and are powerless to resist. Some of the monks began to flee, after all, at this time, the six major sects did not have such legal measures.
According to the agreement between the Great Zhou and the six major sects, Xuanyin Star can't help the normal flow of monks, but there is also a policy. To put it simply, one party is willing to let go, and one party is willing to accept it, of course, generally speaking, if this person is cultivating and is not a traitor, he will not be stopped after a certain procedure.
Therefore, in a border place like Yongzhou City, there is an influx of monks. On the first day, more than 100 monks entered Yongzhou City, and then blocked outside the City Lord's Mansion to submit an application to the Demon Domain.
In such a situation, it is impossible for the City Lord's Mansion to come forward to strengthen its efforts, maintain order, and deal with those applications to go to the Demon Domain. Fortunately, Zhang Cuilu and the others are cultivating very smoothly, and there is no need to understand the void and protect the Fa. Na Suji, who was almost well, was urgently summoned by Wuxu to help him deal with a mundane task. Then, Wu Xuan sent a message to his divine sense, and urgently discussed with Na Zeng Shan and Fairy Yu before formulating a rough charter.
1. All applications to the Demon Realm must be carefully reviewed and a certain amount of spiritual resources must be charged. The list of applications, like the border trade, was copied to Zeng Shan.
2. The anti-smuggling detachment is a part-time picket detachment to assist the sergeants and guards under the jurisdiction of the city lord's mansion to maintain order.
2. All applications must not only be reviewed and stamped by the City Lord's Mansion, but also must be approved by Fairy Yu before they can be released.
When the guest officer saw this, he may have some doubts. After the promulgation of the Spiritual Resources Order, if a monk has spiritual resources, according to the decree, he must turn them in. Zeng Shan was ordered to set up an anti-smuggling detachment, which is for this reason.
So, theoretically, ordinary monks today have no spiritual resources. Why, then, does the "New Tax Order" still levy a tax on monks at the level of true spirits above the real person level every ten years? The charter discussed by Wuxu and Zeng Shan also stipulates that a certain "immigration" examination fee will be charged?
This is actually not a contradiction, there is no problem. It's to be taxed!
No, figure it out for yourself!
You don't have a spirit stone, so go earn a spirit stone? You have hands, feet, and cultivation, you can fly to the sky, and you can escape to the ground, do you want to enjoy the peace brought by the Xuanyin Star Zhou Tian Star Array in vain? Enjoy the aura of the Xuanyin Star in vain?
The "Spiritual Resources Order" does not allow monks to own spiritual assets privately, but allows monks to earn spiritual resources, which are notarized and booked by the government, similar to the contributions of the six major sects.
Because of the regulations agreed between Wuxu and Zeng Shan, none of these monks who poured into Yongzhou could leave the country immediately and stayed.
Wu Xuan was kind, and distributed the original Li family's mansion and some other empty houses to these monks for free, and then announced a task: to clean up the inside and outside of Yongzhou City. After repeated changes, inside and outside Yongzhou City, some are dilapidated, some are messy, and some are unlivable.
To put it bluntly, it's cleaning. Perform a water purification method here, get ten low-grade spirit stones, you can use it to offset the "Immigration Demon Domain" to get the audit fee; there, spend some spiritual energy, so that the dead wood spring, the same; move the boulder blocked at the mouth of the valley, this is also the same way to earn spirit stones; the same is true for helping ordinary people in Snow Peach Valley to see some diseases; you can also get that spirit stone when you go to the monastery and help arrange some formationsγγγγγγγ
This is actually a kind release of water, otherwise if Zeng Shan came to preside over this matter, it would not be so easy.
The monks, when they heard this, were silent for a while. The dignified monk was forced to do this, and became a miscellaneous servant. But in the end, he still realized his feelings, and he didn't show any dissatisfaction, and went to work separately the next day. It can be said that:
The monks are busy, purifying water and planting trees to repair the school.
Pull out the mountains to clear the roadblocks, and the time is not conducive to planting flowers.
Wu Xuan was above the City Lord's Mansion, watching this scene from afar, and couldn't help laughing.
"Why is the city lord so open-minded?" Zeng Shan flew over, "According to the spies in the army, there are still many monks coming towards Yongzhou. β
There are still many monks coming to Yongzhou?
This is a trouble, because these monks, who are of all religions and nine streams, are fleeing more and more, and when they gather together, it is inevitable that there will be a lot of disputes, and even a big mess, even if there are no true spiritual monks.
Wuxu thought about it, but it was not good to say the "New Tax Order" to Zeng Shan, so he only said, "In this case, we still have to discuss with Fairy Yu, how much will the Demon Domain receive in a day?" If these middle-level monks in Yongzhou City are too stranded and stagnant, it is better to think of a way to leave some of them in Yongzhou. Yongzhou City can't be too empty. β
"Master, it's a compassionate heart and a good calculation. Zeng Shan smiled, "It's just that before Zeng left the palace and left Beijing, he also received a secret decree." β
Wuxu was a little speechless, a little annoyed. Emperor of the Great Zhou, why did he pay attention to the small border city of Yongzhou?
"Order the imperial guard Zeng Shan, together with the city lord of Yongzhou, to search for the traitor. Zeng Shan took out a golden scroll, did not unfold it, but read softly, "Your Majesty has a word, when Yongzhou is reformed and the law is changed, this matter will be done, and it is urgent." β
Where are the traitors in Yongzhou?
Although Wuxu was expecting it, he still couldn't help but ask.
Zeng Shan stared at Wuxu, as if smiling, "Master Wuxu, there is a disciple, the Dharma name Shenqian, has the master forgotten?"
Speaking of this, Zeng Shan flew away.
"Kyoto Duobao Pavilion seized the treasure, the villagers of Niushou Mountain broke through, and even the death of the former General Zhu and Zuo Counselor Sima Zhiγγγγγγγ These things are not unrelated to the master disciples and those traitorsγγγγγγ β
Its voice is faint.
"Fellow Daoists, don't be anxious, come one by one. Su Ji sat in the side hall on the left side of the hall of the City Lord's Mansion, and said with a smile to the monks outside the door who had completed their tasks.
When Sugi assigned his assignment, he also assigned an overseer. Those monks who applied to leave the country, under the leadership and supervision of the supervising monks, arrived at the place, completed the task, and came here, which was regarded as a mission. With the confirmation of the overseer monks, Suji selected another one of these monks, and then sent them to Wuxu in batches, who marked them with the seal of the city lord's mansion, and then sent them to Suji, who gave them back to the monks.
The monks, then took the degree and went to the Pavilion of Departure. If Fairy Yu allows it, it will be temporarily marked with a unique mark on its degree. Then, these monks, this can hold the degree, through the city protection array presided over by Wuxu, go out from the east city gate, and go to the demon domain.
According to the agreement, Wuxu will send a copy of the list of all monks who apply to leave the country to Zeng Shan. If Zeng Shan felt that anyone was suspicious or inappropriate to let him out, he would inform Wuxu, who would inform Su Ji that he would not assign them when these monks came to receive the task.
Theoretically, so far, Zeng Shan has not informed Wuxu that a certain monk cannot be released.
That Fairy Yu is there, but it's very fast. What tasks she also assigns, as long as the monk who came to apply makes a contract, owes ten spirit stones to the Heavenly Remnant Sect, and promises to pay it off within a year.
Generally speaking, the first day to receive the task, the second day to hand over, the third day of Wuxu review and then immediately after the application to the love pavilion, fast, the third day can leave the country, at most one day slower, the fourth day can leave the country.
To tell the truth, this temporary policy is quite "close to the people". The process is not complicated, the task is not difficult, and the money owed to the Heavenly Remnant Sect is also very small, and the deadline is still one year. Therefore, these monks are quite cooperative, and when they start their tasks, they are also doing their best, without any discount, and some even deliberately sell well. For example, a monk received a task of planting ten spiritual flowers in Huanzhu Tower, but he took out some seeds by himself, planted ten plants, and when planting, he first tested the soil, then selected the seeds, and then sprinkled the spiritual liquid, and even spent spiritual power to give birth.
Therefore, in this way, inside and outside the entire Yongzhou City, a day's work will be renewed, with flowers, beautiful mountains and rivers, and a dazzling aura. According to Wuxu's words, if this continues, within a few days, Yongzhou will be the south of the Yangtze River.
Yongzhou is so "close to the people", the news gradually spread, and there are more monks who come to Yongzhou to go through the exit procedures, and there is a steady stream. Within ten days, the number of monks who entered Yongzhou reached nearly 3,000, which was even more than the number of monks when Wuxu first arrived in Yongzhou.
At this time, an order came from Yanjing Mansion to strictly control the pass, control the number of people leaving the country, and not let it go if it can be released. Yongzhou is a subordinate area of Yanjing Prefecture, and Yanjing Prefecture's orders cannot be disobeyed.
What should I do? Wuxu has quite a headache.
The order of Yanjing Mansion is not a disorderly order, it has its own reason. If this is allowed to happen, the monks will be lost, and how will the imperial court still collect taxes? To put it more deeply, the more monks leave the Great Zhou, the weaker the strength of the Great Zhou will inevitably be.
Let's not talk about these big truths. If they are controlled from leaving the country and not allowed to leave, won't these monks who have poured into Yongzhou want to make trouble? The maintenance of order is a big problem, and even if it can be suppressed, I am afraid that the whole of Yongzhou will become a crime city with a high crime rate.
Wuxu will Zeng Shan, Yu Xianzi, Xiao Jiadong, please go to the Huanzhu Tower to listen to the Snow Pavilion.
Zeng Shan was quite concerned about this matter. He originally thought that in a few days, he would carry out the last and most important task given to him by His Majesty the Emperor, that is, to eliminate the traitors. But I don't want to, and now there are such branches.
"In the past few days, I have to wait a little harder. He was the first to say, "Fortunately, the imperial court soon issued an order that all monks who leave the country must first pay the spiritual tax." β
"Oh, General Zeng, sure enough, the news is well-informed, last time I said here that the Council of Elders passed a resolution that all spiritual resources with medium-grade spirit stones must be organized and supervised by specialized agencies. The next day, a similar order was issued by the imperial court. I don't know when the imperial court's order will be issued this time?" asked Wuxu.
Zeng Shan pondered for a moment, "This order involves a wide range of issues, and there are some controversies, and it may take a few days before it is issued." Before the order is issued, we should think of some ways to strictly control the number of people leaving the country. β
"Raising the audit fee and increasing the difficulty of the task, Su Ji can sort out a charter for these things. Fairy Yu next to him smiled, looking like he knew it well.
Wuxu thought for a moment, "There's nothing wrong with that. The little monk was worried about the order in the city. β
"If there is trouble, there is no forgiveness for killing!" Zeng Shan said lightly.
Wuxu looked at Zeng Shan, "Kill a few thorns, it's nothing." But thousands of monks, dragons and snakes are mixed, if they stay in Yongzhou for a long time, there will definitely be a lot of lawlessness, and I am afraid that there will be a miasma of smoke at that time. β
"It's still that word, kill!" Zeng Shan replied, "In extraordinary times, you must use heavy codes." β
Wuxu shook his head, quite displeased, "Only in troubled times do you need to use heavy codes." When the time comes, General Zeng will kill all sides in Yongzhou City, a bloody light, and a miasma of black smoke, what's the difference?"
Zeng Shan glanced at Wuxu, "Kill one, you can set an example." The lord of the city need not be so worried, not to mention that the order should be issued soon. β
Language is indeed an art, a thing, an order, Zeng Shan first said "there will be an order soon", then said "it may take a few days to be issued", and finally said "it should be issued soon".
Wuxu had to ask, "All monks who leave the country must first pay the spiritual tax, how long will it take for this order to be issued, or will it really be issued?"
Zeng Shan snorted coldly, but he didn't answer, obviously he was a little unsure.
At this time, it was still the poppy who came forward to the round, mainly to explain to Wuxu, "The Great Zhou and the six major sects once had an ancient covenant, and the monks could move freely. Now, although there are elders who can decide that Xuanyin Star should be a major matter, there are different opinions on this order internally. Speaking of this, she paused, "This palace thinks that it is limited to ten days. Within ten days, according to General Zeng's words, if this order is not issued after ten days, the city lord should be merciful for all sentient beings, or if the Yongzhou city road will not be left behind and the door will not be closed at night, we will discuss a safe and long-term plan here. β
Fairy Yu said this, Wuxu had nothing to say for a while, so he said to Su Ji who was standing aside, "Since this is the case, you will make a charter at this moment and deal with these ten days." β
Su Jiluo thought about it, so he bowed down and replied, "The big aspect, Fairy Yu's predecessor has already pointed out. Su Ji is here, a little refined, and I also ask you to read it. With that, he took out a jade slip, branded the message with his divine sense, and then respectfully offered it to Wuxu with both hands.
Wuxu didn't pick it up. only looked at each other with Zeng Shan and others.
Suji wrote in the jade slips:
1. Increase the audit fee, whether it is the City Lord's Mansion or the Liqing Pavilion, it is recommended to increase the previous ten lower-grade spirit stones to 100 lower-grade spirit stones.
2. The tasks issued by the City Lord's Mansion will be carried out in a corresponding increase in difficulty or time. In addition, the number of tasks released per day is strictly limited to ten, and they are distributed by lottery.
3. Before the review of the City Lord's Mansion, in the name of eliminating the traitors, the audit link of the garrison side will be increased, and the fees can be referred to the City Lord's Mansion and the Divorce Pavilion.
Fourth, in the name of eliminating the traitors, comprehensively strengthen the maintenance of order in the city, and if there is any trouble, all will be handed over to the Meiyuan military law.
"Good!" Wuxu looked at Su Ji and nodded with satisfaction.
Zeng Shan snorted coldly again, "Okay, the murder thing, for the time being, I, Zeng, will do it, and we must not damage the name of the city lord's compassion for all sentient beings." β
Fairy Yu smiled without saying a word, but a jade slip flew out of her long sleeves and sent it straight to Wuxu.
When I saw it, there were more than a dozen monks.
Wu Xuan was puzzled and looked at Fairy Yu.
Fairy Yu said with a smile, "These people, when the time comes, I hope that the city lord will make it convenient." β
Wuxu suddenly woke up, this was handing himself a note/child, and immediately smiled, "The first level is at General Zeng's, how can the fairy be sent to the little monk first." β
As soon as the words fell, I saw Zeng Shan, who also concocted the same method, and a jade slip flew out of his sleeve, and he was in front of Wuxu.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Jiadong, who had been silent like a puppet, also took out a jade slip and sent it to Wuxu, "The Xiao family has been in Yongzhou for hundreds of years, and they still can't escape the sophistication of the world. β
Searching for a traitor?
Wu Xu's heart moved, and he couldn't help but think of what the Heavenly Demon had told him before. Take care of the following Xiao family and assist the Xiao family in finding people in the Demon Domain. But I don't know if this is the same person or the same group of people as Zeng Shan's mission?γγγγγγ
Wu Xuan thought so in his heart, and only said with a smile on his lips, "It turns out that the order that General Zeng said will not be issued in a few days, but the truth is here. Well said, well said. β
Then he accepted the jade slips of the three of them and handed them to Su Ji next to him.
That's right
The reform and reform of the law are turbulent, and the tax is not high.
Flying to the sky is useless, and the magic power is vast jade note.
