Forced To Start The Game, Summon A Hundred Thousand Snow Dragon Riders

Chang'an City.

The imperial palace, the imperial study room.

The news of Dongfang Bubai's conquest of Famous Sword Villa has already been sent back to the palace.

"This Eastern Invincible is indeed a genius who manages the Rivers and Lakes Martial Forest."

Li Xiu Longyan Dayue.

In less than a month, Dongfang Bubai had completed the mission and wiped out the two Martial Forest sects that were opposed to the imperial court.

Let the name of the Sun Moon God Sect spread throughout the Martial Forest of the Central Plains.

Let other Rivers and Lakes Martial Forest sects tremble.

Both righteousness and evil are terrified.

"Pass on my word of mouth, let Dongfang Bubai continue to grow the Sun Moon God Sect, and I will give him another three months to unify the entire Martial Forest of the Central Plains!"

Li Xiu looked at Cao Zhengchun who was on the side.

"The old slave obeys the order!"

Cao Zhengchun cupped his hands immediately.

Even Cao Zhengchun was surprised by Dongfang Bubai's speed.

After all, conquering the Rivers and Lakes Martial Forest is no less difficult than conquering feudal towns.

What's more, there are so many masters in the major Martial Forest sects, Dongfang Bubai started from scratch, and wiped out two major sects within a month, which is simply unimaginable.

Today, the Sun Moon God Sect is gaining momentum in the Martial Forest, like the Japanese side.

In Cao Zhengchun's view, the days when the Eastern Undefeated dominates the Martial Forest of the Central Plains may not be too long.

...

the next day.

On the court.

Civil and military officials entered the hall one by one and stood on both sides of the royal road.

Among the courtiers, the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War strode out and said loudly: "Your Majesty, there is a good news from the front line. Xiang Yu, the general who conquered the East, has led his army to conquer the three towns of Fanyang, Pinlu and Shuofang successively, and made the three towns Jiedu envoy Yu Dang , kill them all!"

"In addition, Master Shang Shu also successfully pacified the two towns of Hexi and Longyou. Now, in the two towns, there are only sporadic remnants of the rebellion, and they will be completely wiped out in a few days."

Hearing the report from Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War, the court was filled with joy and joy.

They originally thought that the imperial court encountered resistance from the Rivers and Lakes Martial Forest during the crusade against the feudal town.

The progress of conquering feudal towns may be greatly affected.

Unexpectedly, Dajun cleared the obstacles so quickly.

Now, the Wulu feudal town has basically been pacified!

More than half of the chronic diseases of the Tang Empire have disappeared at once!

However, Li Xiu on the Dragon Throne was not surprised at all.

He had sent Dongfang Bubai to destroy the two Martial Forest sects that hindered the Tang court. After these two resistances were swept away, the court's army would naturally no longer encounter any strong resistance.

It is not difficult for Xiang Yu to conquer the three towns and fight well.

As for the Minister of War, under the threat of his three-day deadline, he also fought to the death, and obviously achieved considerable results. Although there were still sporadic remnants making trouble, the task was barely completed.

These five powerful vassals were now eradicated successively by Li Xiu, and the remaining vassal governors were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

"His Majesty."

At this time, the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs suddenly came up and said: "The areas of the feudal towns have been severely exploited by the Jiedu envoys of the towns, and now they have suffered repeated wars, and the lives of the people have been devastated."

"I implore Your Majesty to reduce the burden on the people of the feudal town, resettle the refugees, and resume farming."

Li Xiu nodded, "Quite."

Food is the paramount necessity of the people.

Farming was the foundation of the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

All the feudal clans and towns are militaristic, fighting for years, all kinds of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes emerge one after another, and the lives of the people are in dire straits and on the verge of collapse.

Many people were forced to flee their hometowns and became refugees in order to avoid military disasters and exorbitant taxes.

If the refugee problem is not resolved, it is likely to trigger a civil uprising and endanger the rule of the dynasty.

"Preach my decree, let the local governments count the number of refugees, resettle them on the spot, and distribute the land according to the head."

Li Xiu looked at the Minister of the Household Department and said in a loud voice: "Fanyang, Pinglu, Shuofang, Hexi, and Longyou Wulu Fanzhen, plus the former Huainan and Hedong towns, the people in these seven places will be exempted from paying taxes for one year. And abolish all exorbitant taxes!"

As soon as Li Xiu said this, all the officials were stunned.

Even Hubu Shangshu looked at Li Xiu in disbelief.

He just mentioned the matter of the refugees in the feudal town, and there was no hope at all that Li Xiu would care about such petty matters.

After all, His Majesty is a man of great talent and strategy, and his plan is to unify the world. How did the little refugees get into His Majesty's eyes.

Unexpectedly, His Majesty paid great attention to this matter, and directly proposed a solution, and incidentally exempted the people of the feudal town from taxes for a year!

It seems that His Majesty understands the truth that water can carry a boat and capsize it...

"Your Majesty is holy!"

Hubu Shangshu took a deep breath and looked into Li Xiu's eyes with sincere admiration.

His Majesty is not only literary and martial arts, but also has a heart of love for the people, which is really commendable.

After Hubu Shangshu retired.

During the shift of civil servants, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials came out and said, "Your Majesty, since the last time Your Majesty purged the court, there have been many vacancies in the imperial court, and the problem has not been completely resolved yet."

"I suggest that you start a course to recruit scholars as soon as possible, and select scholars to fill the vacancies in the court."

"The matter of the imperial examination is indeed urgent."

Li Xiu nodded, then looked at another courtier, and said, "Minister of the Ministry of Rites, how are you preparing for the restructuring of the scientific examination system?"

The Minister of the Ministry of Rites hurriedly came out, bent over and said, "I would like to report to Your Majesty, the reform of the imperial examination system has already been announced to the world, and this matter has been promoted within the entire territory of the Tang Dynasty."

"However, it encountered a lot of local resistance."

"resistance?"

Li Xiu was immediately displeased, "This is a national policy, who would dare to stop it?"

The Minister of Rites said: "When I heard the news of the reform of the imperial examination system, the entire Tang scholars were in an uproar."

"The Confucian scholars in the Tang Dynasty, headed by the four major academies, all said that His Majesty did not study much and did not understand the essence of poetry and articles, so he tampered with the ancestral imperial examination system without authorization, and put the poems and prose that they had learned all their lives in an irrelevant place. It doesn't matter if you don't participate."

"A group of poor and rotten scholars dare to ridicule His Majesty and talk about the national policy set by His Majesty. They really deserve to die!"

Cao Zhengchun immediately cupped his hands to Li Xiu, and said in a deep voice: "I implore your majesty to allow this old slave to lead the guards of the East Factory, burn down the four major academies, and kill all these poor and corrupt scholars, as an example to others!"

"This... shouldn't be the case, right?"

The expression of the Minister of Rites changed slightly.

The Confucian scholars just complained a few words, so it wouldn't be like killing them all, right?

"Scholars who slander the country are not guilty of death."

Li Xiu waved his hand, signaling Cao Zhengchun to back down.

It also made the hearts of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and others fall back into their stomachs.

"However, they actually laughed at me for not reading enough, saying that I don't understand poetry?"

"It's ridiculous!"

All the ministers looked at each other in blank dismay.

Did the Daoists say something wrong?

In their impression, they have never heard that His Majesty has written any poems...
