In the final analysis, isn't this just cutting down the feudal clan?
Look at what happened to Zhu Yunqi who wantonly cut down the vassal in the Ming Dynasty?
The courage to make drastic reforms must come from absolute strength.
If the Star Luo royal family dared to take action against these provinces and kingdoms before the rise of Davis, it would probably cause a lot of turmoil, and some kingdoms and provinces would even directly announce that they would break away from the control of the empire and fall into the arms of other forces.
But now, Davis' prestige in the Star Luo Empire is gradually reaching its peak.
The combat power of the title Douluo directly under the Imperial Royal Family has Davis and Li Fu on the surface, and the combat power of the White Tiger Army has also been proved in the battle of the Bandit Alliance.
At this time, take advantage of Davis's prestige to promote reforms and strengthen the centralization of the empire's center. As long as it is not too much, those kings and provincial governors will be knocked into the dust at once, and those earth emperors can only knock down their front teeth. And Xue Tun, never dare to resist directly.
However, even with the threat of force, Davis was not too radical in the reforms of the major provinces and kingdoms. He only focused on two things:
Taxes and the military.
In terms of taxation, according to the laws of the empire, those provinces need to pay the full amount of taxes to Star Luo City, and even the major kingdoms need to pay half of the taxes.
But since the royal family's control over these provinces and kingdoms has become weaker and weaker, the taxes they pay have also decreased year by year, and now it can only be said that nothing is better than nothing.
This time, Davis dispatched tax inspectors to supervise the taxation of various places in Xingluo, and put an end to the behavior of these local governors and kings who concealed taxation.
In addition, in terms of the army, he also sent some generals of the imperial army to various places to rectify military affairs. He did not want to be able to control the armies in various places, at least to plant the eyes of the imperial family in these armies.
[In other words, currently the best app for reading and listening to books, Jingshuge installs the latest version. 】
As for the safety of these imperial envoys and generals?
This is the meaning of Title Douluo's combat power.
The empire does not try to completely control all places in a short period of time, and those local emperors should not think about the high emperors far away, and let the imperial envoys die in "accidents".
Otherwise, Davis, the young hero, would be really angered. As soon as the White Tiger Army and Title Douluo arrived, the strength of resistance would be turned into powder in an instant.
It was not too different from what Davis had expected. After the messenger delivered his will, although the governors and kings of various places were somewhat dissatisfied and resentful, they basically did not dare to confront him.
Except for the province of Ahakuwa, which is the closest to the border of the Heaven Dou Empire, that is, Gu Shoucheng's family.
Gu Qingfeng, the head of the Gu family, is also the most powerful among all the governors and kings of the province.
Yes, this family, which is actually the most loyal to the Dai family of the royal family, has expressed strong "dissatisfaction" to Star Luo City at this juncture.
The general meaning of the Provincial Governor Gu Qingfeng's reply to Davis is:
The Gu family guarded the province of Ahakuwa for generations, shouldering the important task of confronting the Heaven Dou Empire.
Now you Davis, a young boy, has just been established as the prince and given the important task of supervising the country. Instead of thinking about stabilizing the country, you want to use a letter to let the Gu family put down their military power, give up local taxation, and compete with the courtiers for profit. Killing a donkey is no different.
The Gu family and the province of Ahakuwa will never slip their shoes on this kind of behavior.
……
Davis received Gu Qingfeng's reply letter at the court meeting, and was immediately furious. He was about to take command again and lead the White Tiger Army to break through Yanlong City.
Many ministers tried their best to persuade Davis, which allowed Davis to suspend his anger.
But even if he didn't send troops immediately, he ordered someone to write an imperial decree on the spot in the most severe terms, reprimanding Gu Qingfeng as the governor of the province for disregarding the overall situation and disrespecting the emperor's orders.
Only this time, it was no longer an ordinary imperial envoy to announce the decree, but the titled Douluo Li Fu.
Li Fu was appointed by the emperor, and he arrived at Yanlong City in only half a day.
He stayed in Yanlong City for a total of 3 minutes and made three palms.
It takes 1 minute to arrive at the City Lord's Mansion, 1 minute to read the imperial decree, and 1 minute to leave Yanlong City.
The first palm shattered the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, the second palm injured dozens of City Lord's Mansion guards and fell to the ground, and finally, in full view of the crowd, Gu Qingfeng, who was at the Contra level, was seriously injured and vomited blood.
Then, looking down at Gu Qingfeng who fell to the ground, he read Davis' second edict.
Chapter 124 The two women finally meet, cats and snakes fight each other
With Davis' reforms, the Star Luo royal family's control over the region began to gradually increase, and the prestige of Davis, the Crown Prince, also began to spread in the major provinces and kingdoms.
A large number of civilian soul masters among the people regard him as the light of Xingluo, and the layout of the Wuhun Temple among the civilian soul masters of the Star Luo Empire for many years was finally torn apart by Davis.
During this period of time, the number of soul masters who came to Star Luo City to join the White Tiger Army has been greatly increased in a short period of time.
Thanks to this, the White Tiger Army's military expansion plan and the soul master cavalry regiment's plan began quietly.
The divine craftsman Lou Gao was also kept in Star Luo City by Davis with great courtesy.
He is helping Xingluo improve ordnance and design cavalry equipment.
Tang Hao and Tai Tan left together.
This pair of masters and servants haven't seen each other for many years, and Tai Tan has always been obsessed with Tang Hao, and Tang San's talent is now beginning to take shape, and he will definitely shine on the mainland in the future.
Tang Hao is planning to pave the way for his son's future, so of course such a good retainer of the Lizhi Clan cannot let him go.
Davis doesn't care about that.
Now that his cultivation level is getting higher and higher, and he has gradually reached the top level of the Douluo Continent, he is no longer as afraid of a certain double-standard god king as he was when he first traveled to this world.
Moreover, many opportunities necessary for Tang San's rise have been cut off by Davis in advance, and there may be more in the future.
For example, the 2000-year-old man-faced demon spider with the eight spider spears attached to the spirit bone, although its spirit ring is no longer suitable for most of the demon king's team, it is just suitable for the youngest Ye Lengleng.
As the owner of Nine Hearts Begonia, Ye Lengleng didn't have any requirements for absorbing the soul ring except for the year.
After all, no matter what kind of soul ring it was, absorbing it into her would only enhance its healing ability.
An astonishingly lethal Eight Spider Lances paired with a harmless nurse, isn't it a perfect match?
When the enemy breaks through all kinds of difficulties and dangers and breaks through to the auxiliary system of the Demon King's team, they are greeted with eight deadly poisonous guns. Isn't it a surprise?
In order to prevent accidents caused by the butterfly effect, Davis had sent someone to capture the man-faced spider alive in Wanjin Villa in advance, and suppressed it next to Davis's training room.
Just wait for Ye Leng Leng to break through the Soul Venerable, and then he will be able to obtain materials on the spot.
Immortal Grass, Eight Spider Lances, Asura God's Throne, each of these opportunities is very important to Tang San, but if he lacks one, his growth path will be greatly reduced, but now all of them have been acquired by Davis.
Today's Tang San, the one who can compete is not the prosperous Davis, but Dai Mubai who has cultivated hard since childhood, never indulged himself, and has taken root in Shrek Academy for several years.
Perhaps, he might not even be able to grab Dai Mubai's title as the leader of the Seven Shrek Monsters.
……
Davis resumed his daily practice and dealing with government affairs.
Although level 79 to level 80 is not a big hurdle for him, it still needs some hard work.
With Davis' current strength, as soon as he reaches level 80, he can obtain a powerful enough spirit ring and a 10-year spirit bone...
At that time, even if Qian Daoliu came in person, he would have the strength to resist.
However, I thought there would be a period of dull life, but it was suddenly broken by a person.
Dugu Yan.
She was worried about Davis.
There is a bond between the two of them of "communication of mind, life and death together".
Although Dugu Yan could hardly provide any help when Davis was facing a fatal threat with Dugu Yan's ability to bear it, the connection between the two still existed.
Previously on the sword casting platform, when Davis faced the ninth thunder, he did take some risks.
Although the injury he suffered was not fatal, let alone transmitted the injury to Dugu Yan, but the extremely violent and endless thunder and lightning bombardment still made Dugu Yan, who was thousands of miles away, feel a burst of paralysis all over his body. .
At the same time, there is also the feeling of suffocation when the catastrophe is approaching.How could Dugu Yan be able to sit still?
She immediately begged her grandfather to take her to Xingluo City.
Dugu Bo didn't want to come, but he couldn't stand his granddaughter's pleading, so he was forced to agree.
So, not long after Davis succeeded in forging the sword, Dugu Yan arrived in Star Luo City.
Davis's current soul perception is so powerful. The moment Dugu Yan stepped into Star Luo City, he found her figure by virtue of the special bond between the two of them.
Through "communication of mind", he could feel the deep worry in the girl's heart.
Even along the way, Dugu Yan had already heard from many people in the Star Luo Empire the legendary story of "His Royal Highness raised his sword to slay the thunder and lightning dragon".
But without seeing Davis alive and kicking in front of her, she still couldn't feel at ease.
Therefore, Davis immediately put down the government affairs in his hands and handed them over to several ministers in the cabinet, who went out of the palace to meet Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo's grandfather and grandson in person.
At the same time, a message was sent back to Wanjin Villa, and Zhu Zhuyun was informed.
These two girls are always going to meet each other, and choosing a date is worse than bumping into it, just today.
Davis said that it is impossible to have a Shura field. After all, besides the main concubine, Prince Xingluo can have two side concubines.
And with the ancestral system of Xingluo Zhu's daughter as the queen, even Dugu Bo, the title Douluo, would not forcefully ask Dugu Yan to be the main concubine.
So there is no real conflict between them.
However, Davis, who is full of confidence, missed one point——
Cats and snakes are not compatible by nature.
It didn't take much time for Davis to find Dugu Yan in the vast crowd of Star Luo City.
As soon as Jinfeng Yulu met, they won but countless on earth.
When the girl saw her lover whom she hadn't seen in three years, she immediately threw her grandfather aside and threw herself into Davis' arms.
Dugu Bo stood aside alone, bearded and stared at by his precious granddaughter who was elbowed outwards, but there was nothing he could do.
Of these two irritating little fellows, one is really invincible, and the other is his own granddaughter, who is completely reluctant to do it, which makes Poison Douluo, who is known as the tyrant of drugs in the world, stare blankly.
After a long time, when Dugu Bo's eyes were staring dry and he wanted to kill someone, the boys and girls were willing to part from the embrace.
Davis took out the Green Snake Pearl Sword forged for Dugu Yan from the space soul guide, and he also equipped the sword with a very exquisite scabbard.
Dugu Yan fell in love with this sword the first time he saw it.
She drew the sword out of its sheath, and a green-gold light shone on her face. Under the infusion of soul power, the sword seemed to turn into a real green snake, ready to bite the enemy's vitals at any time.
With a simple glance, one can tell that this sword must be a treasure that is hard to find in the mainland.
Even Dugu Bo, who was always critical of Davis, couldn't find fault with this meeting ceremony, and Dugu Yan himself loved it to the bottom of his heart.
Davis stretched out his hand to hold Dugu Yan, and unexpectedly found Dugu Bo standing beside him, then nodded to him and said, "Long time no see, Senior Dugu."
