Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 14810
14808. Chapter 14808 Method
After Gong Xuandan and the others had all turned into the Undead Clan, Zhao Hai took them directly to the Blood Killing Sect and let them stay there for a few days. He also gave them all the benefits of the Blood Killing Sect. Then he released them directly. As soon as Gong Xuandan and the others returned to Qingying Star, they immediately went to see Baiyan. Baiyan and the others had been waiting for Gong Xuandan and the others here. As soon as he heard that Gong Xuandan and the others had arrived, he directly asked someone to invite Gong Xuandan and the others to his study, and he also stood up to greet them.
When Gong Xuandan and the others came in, Bai Yan greeted them and laughed at Gong Xuandan: “Xuandan, how about taking a look at the Blood Killing Sect? What do you think about joining the Blood Killing Sect? Are you still unwilling?”
Gong Xuandan’s old face turned red, and he immediately smiled bitterly at Bai Yan and said, “Elder Bai, please don’t laugh at us. We didn’t know that the sect was so powerful. If we had known that the sect was so powerful, we would have joined the sect a long time ago, and we wouldn’t have angered the young master and caused ourselves to lose our lives.”
Bai Yan laughed loudly, then said, “Don’t worry, the young master won’t blame you. Forget it, you will know later. Come, let’s talk business. I called you here this time because I want the list of the elders in your hand. We must make the elders and everyone in it our people. What do you think?”
When Gong Xuandan heard Baiyan say this, he immediately nodded and said, “We have already sorted it out. This is our list, it’s all here.” After saying that, he handed a jade slip to Baiyan.
Baiyan took the list, took a look at it, and then said, “I will arrange people to clean up now. We must make all of them our people, and then let these people hide immediately. We must not let the empire find out their identities. Xuandan, what you have to do next is to continue to do what you should do when your identity is public. Don’t arouse any suspicion. At the same time, deal with the people of the six realms and don’t let them suspect you. Apart from this, there is nothing else to do. If you don’t make any progress here, the people of the six realms should not blame you, right?”
Gong Xuandan said, “It’s strange that they don’t blame us, but under normal circumstances, they will deduct some of the training materials they give us every year. But now this thing can no longer threaten us, and if we suddenly do nothing, this seems a bit bad, and it may arouse their suspicion.”
Baiyan smiled slightly and said, “If they doubt you, what will they do?”
Gong Xuandan said, “If things go wrong, they might send someone to replace us, or send someone to the Star Empire to check on the situation.”
Bai Yan laughed loudly and said, “If they are going to send someone to replace you, isn’t that perfect? You can go back to the Six Realms. The sect is now sending people to the Six Realms. If they send someone to replace you, then you can just go directly. As for the sneakers coming here to check the situation, that’s even better. We can just make them our own people. What is there to worry about? Xuan Dan, don’t forget that you are a member of the sect now. If there is anything, the sect will help you solve it. There is nothing to worry about.”
When Gong Xuandan and the others heard what Baiyan said, they were stunned at first, and then they couldn’t help laughing. Baiyan was right. They no longer relied on the Six Realms for their livelihood, but on the Blood Killing Sect. So what was there to worry about?
Bai Yan continued, “But don’t say you didn’t do anything. You can tell them that you are buying off some star masters, real star masters, not star master-level masters. If you succeed, more planets will obey the orders of the Six Realms. I believe they will be very happy. At worst, we can find a way to remove the star masters you bought off.”
When Gong Xuandan and the others heard Baiyan say this, their eyes lit up. They immediately responded. Baiyan then said, “Okay, all of you should go back. After you go back, just do your own things well and don’t let anyone see any flaws.”
Several people all responded, then Baiyan discussed with them again and let them leave. Gong Xuandan and the others also used their original identities again and returned to their original places.
On the other hand, Zuoqiu Zheng was a little annoyed. He found that the court seemed to have returned to its previous state. Although Xu Kang and his people were royalists, that is, his people, they were not honest. They were also trying to expand the power of their families. And the person they really obeyed was not him, but Zuoqiu Wen. Now these guys, one by one, were all busy developing their own families. If he didn’t control these guys, they would probably become too powerful again.
But if he controls these guys, that would also be a problem. It might cause dissatisfaction among them. Then, these guys might unite with those big families. This would be a big problem indeed. He couldn’t possibly deal with all these big families, right?
Thinking of this, Zuo Qiuzheng couldn’t help but feel a headache. Then he called Jia Yu and the others to his study. After Jia Yu and the others arrived, Zuo Qiuzheng said to them, “My dear ministers, you have all become familiar with the situation in the court these days. What do you think of the current situation in the court? If you have any, please tell me directly.”
When Jia Yu and the others heard Zuo Qiuzheng say this, they were all stunned, because Zuo Qiuzheng’s words were a bit too general, which made them not know how to answer for a moment.
Zuo Qiuzheng frowned when he saw their expressions, and then he said, “Why? My dear ministers, don’t you have anything to say? My dear minister Li, you have the shortest time in the court, so please tell me.”
Li Mingde did not expect that Zuoqiu Zheng would be the first to call his name. He was stunned for a moment, then he nodded and said, “Yes, Your Majesty, I have been in the Ministry of Revenue these days to understand the situation of the Ministry of Revenue. Let me tell you about the situation there. Your Majesty, I found that the revenue of the Ministry of Revenue seems to be decreasing every year, especially on the planets controlled by some big families. The revenue there is even less. This is very abnormal, so I think we should check it out. I suspect that those big families are using various methods to put all the wealth on those planets into their own pockets.”
Zuo Qiuzheng was stunned when he heard what Li Mingde said, then he said, “This is indeed a problem, and we should investigate it. However, those big families have controlled those planets for a long time, so it is not easy to investigate. They will use various excuses, saying that they did not collect so much tax, and the officials on those planets are all theirs, so it will be difficult to find out anything.”
Everyone nodded. This was the most headache-inducing thing for emperors of all dynasties. Those emperors had always wanted to deal with the major families, but they had never succeeded. This time would probably be the same.
At this time, Jia Yu said, “Your Majesty, why don’t you invite the Imperial Master to come and discuss this with us? The Imperial Master is much better than us at giving advice.”
Jia Yu’s words made Zuo Qiuzheng stunned, then he frowned, and then he said: “The national master is doing experiments on the poisonous Mars, Decai, go and call the national master to see if he has time.” Decai responded and immediately went to call Zhao Hai.
Not long after, Decai came back and reported: “Your Majesty, the Imperial Master has returned and will be here soon.” Zuoqiu Zheng nodded, and then said: “Tell us more about your ideas.”
Jia Yu smiled bitterly and said, “Your Majesty, this is also the most troublesome thing for me. Over the years, the ministers in the court have rarely been replaced. Their positions are very stable and there is no way to move them. In this situation, even if we want to do something, it will be very difficult. I now understand the situation of the late emperor at that time. It was indeed very difficult.”
Zuo Qiuzheng nodded. At this moment, a young eunuch came in and saluted to Zuo Qiuzheng, saying, “Your Majesty, the Imperial Master wants to see you.”
Zuo Qiuzheng bowed and said, “Please come in quickly.” The eunuch responded and then turned to leave. After a while, Zhao Hai came in. He clasped his fists towards Zuo Qiuzheng and said, “Your Majesty, may your Majesty be well.”
Zuo Qiuzheng said quickly: “No need to be polite, Imperial Master. Please take a seat.” Zhao Hai thanked him and sat down. Zuo Qiuzheng then said: “Imperial Master, we are discussing how to break the current situation in the court. Does Imperial Master have any ideas?”
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Zhao Hai said in a deep voice: “I don’t know much about the situation in the court, so I’m afraid I can’t give you any advice.”
Zuoqiu Zheng was a little disappointed, but at this time Jia Yu said: “Imperial Master, the current situation in the court is that the positions in the court have not been changed for many years, and everyone’s position is very stable. Moreover, the tax revenue from the territories controlled by those big families is getting less and less every year. We are all worried about these things.” Zuoqiu Zheng also nodded.
When Zhao Hai heard him say this, he nodded and then said, “I see. If that’s the case, then I have a way to solve the current predicament.”
Zuo Qiuzheng was overjoyed when he heard what Zhao Hai said. He immediately said, “Master, please speak.”
Zhao Hai smiled and said, “Your Majesty, we will use taxation as a breakthrough to investigate this matter. I think we should set up a new department. This department is mainly responsible for taxation, and the person in charge of this department should preferably be a eunuch in the palace to be responsible for this matter, and the specific people who do the work can invite some royal family members to join. I heard that in recent years, some royal families have not lived very well. Because they are distant branches, the salary they can receive every year is only enough to make a living. They have no way to do other jobs, and they can’t be officials. They will also be squeezed out by those big families, so their lives are not easy. Your Majesty can select some talented people from them to join this department, and then tell them that as long as they can find out the tax problems, the recovered taxes can be allocated to improve the lives of the royal family. As royal family members, these people are naturally close to Your Majesty, and their current predicament is mostly caused by those ministers. They will definitely be loyal to Your Majesty, and at the same time they will work hard to investigate.”
