Realizing This Is A Wuxia World After Cultivating For 300 Years

As the capital of Fengzhou, Changfeng Prefecture is not as prosperous as Lu County, but it is a gathering place for big shots.

Most of the powerful people in Fengzhou live here.

Relatives and friends of county officials and state officials all have a large number of properties and shops here.

Many sects and families gather here. There are as many as 20 sects and families that control gold, iron, grain, salt, cloth, coal and other livelihood industries.

Each one is a large and powerful family that has lasted for thousands of years.

They are not weak in terms of force either. In this city of Changfeng Mansion alone, there are six top warriors.

In any other county, this would be almost impossible to happen.

After all, Fengzhou does not have a wealthy family with the Qiwang surname, nor does it have a leading sect such as Dao Yigong or Baolin Temple. The top figures in the inner scene are rare, and there will not be more than twenty of them.

Now, there are six in this prefecture alone. If we look at the entire Changfeng Prefecture, there may be no fewer than ten!

These people are the biggest local gangsters in Changfeng Prefecture and even the entire Changfeng Prefecture.

It is not easy to deal with them.

Even if Cui Heng succeeded Fengzhou Mu, it would be extremely difficult to suppress these people head-on with his power.

Therefore, after Hui Shi came to Changfeng Fucheng in advance, he chose the simplest, most direct, but also the most effective method.

kill!

In his hand, he held a list of the city's dignitaries, which he had obtained from Wu Yin. After arriving here, he immediately went door to door to find them.

Come and ask directly.

Anyone who disrespects the new envoy will be killed on the spot!

Now Hui Shi has been promoted to the interior level by Cui Heng due to his meritorious service in implementing new policies in various counties in Lu County.

Even if you don't count the runes of "Tianlong Dawei Bodhisattva Fist", this kind of martial arts is already the best in the world.

It is naturally easier to deal with these powerful and powerful people.

When Hui Shi first took action, there were many resisters, and even some wealthy families gathered private soldiers. The sect asked its disciples to form a team to surround and kill Hui Shi.

But as Huishi killed more and more, and the killing became more ruthless, the dignitaries in Changfeng Mansion did not resist much.

Some people even directly changed their attitude.

As soon as he saw Hui Shi coming to visit, he would immediately express that he would definitely welcome the new envoy to his post without any complaints.

Of course, it is not enough to just kill and subdue.

After Huishi suppressed these powerful people in all aspects, he began to use his best skill in implementing administrative orders in the counties of Lu County to confiscate homes and divide land!

The ordinary people in Changfeng Prefecture who have long been squeezed by the powerful, wealthy, and wealthy merchants all cheered.

Moreover, when dividing the land, they always said that this was a decree issued by the new envoy to make all the people have enough food and clothing, and live and work in peace and contentment.

This immediately overwhelmed the hearts of the people in Changfeng City.

Therefore, when Cui Heng led everyone to the gate of Changfeng Prefecture, he saw countless people coming to greet him with joy.

This is not an arrangement given by anyone.

The people in the city spontaneously came to greet them.

"Your Majesty has already been loved by so many people even before he entered the city. Fengzhou is in great control!" Wu Yin said excitedly. He had been a farewell guest here for many years and had never seen the people welcome a person like this.

"This is just the beginning." Cui Heng nodded gently and smiled, "Let's go, follow me into the city!"

…

After being beaten by Hui Shi with an iron fist, the local gangsters in Changfeng Prefecture became much more honest.

Moreover, after the death of Cao Quan, Wu Yin, a special commander, had already begun to manage people's livelihood.

Therefore, this time when Cui Heng came to the city to take office, he did not encounter a lot of difficult things as soon as he arrived like when he went to Juhe County and Lu County.

However, after taking control of the entire Fengzhou financial army, he discovered a serious problem.

My plan to rely on the entire Fengzhou to implement the new decree, make the people love it, disgust the merchants of the aristocratic families, and then collect the seven emotions of all living beings is not perfect.

Because, after the Rebellion of King Yan, the people's livelihood in Fengzhou had declined to the extreme. Except for a few counties, there was not even much population left.

In the state pastoral office.

"The disaster caused by the Yan bandits' war has caused such harm?!" Cui Heng looked at the information he had just received and suddenly felt extremely speechless. "In such a huge Fengzhou state, Jilu County alone accounts for 30% of the population!"

Although he had long known the style of the Yan King's army, burning, killing, looting and committing all kinds of evil wherever they went, this was the first time he saw the damage suffered by the entire Fengzhou from a macro perspective.

This is the prerogative of the state pastor, and it is also the information that only the state pastor has access to.

Fengzhou has one prefecture and twelve counties.

As the capital of a state, Changfeng Prefecture has gathered a large number of wealthy sects and has not encountered military disasters. Although the population is not as large as that of Lu County, it still has more than 1.1 million people.

Among the twelve counties, Lu County is the most prosperous and has the largest population, with more than 1.3 million people.

Xiling County, which is adjacent to Lu County, originally had more than 800,000 people, but now it has been bloodied by King Yan's army. Nine out of ten households are empty, and the remaining population is less than 100,000.

Yanshan County is the place where King Yan's army rebelled, and it can also be regarded as the rear area of ​​King Yan's army. It has been managed for several years, and the people's livelihood should not be too bad.

But Yanshan County is already barren, with only over 500,000 people before the war. Now it is good to have 200,000 people left.

As for Hedong County, Hongyuan County, and Shimen County, they were also devastated by the Yan army. All industries were ruined, the people were in dire straits, and the population also dropped sharply. It was a blessing to have more than 500,000 people in total.

In addition, there are Luo'an County and Changxing County.

Although neither of these two places suffered from military disasters caused by the Yan rebels, the local governor, who came from a wealthy family, only focused on military power and did not care about the people's livelihood, and who was just waiting for death and ignoring military affairs all day long, was not a good person.

Under this kind of governance, Luo'an County and Changxing County were naturally in a mess. Countless people in each county starved to death and froze to death. There were refugees and beggars everywhere. The total number was estimated to be less than 600,000.

Yunshu County is a frontier fortress, with a permanent population of less than 100,000, and no wealthy families, not even a few merchants. In a place like this, whether or not to implement the new decree does not actually make much difference.

After all calculations, the population of Fengzhou as a whole is at most four million.

When Cui Heng saw this data, he felt numb.

How big is Toyosu?

In terms of area alone, it is equivalent to one Shanxi Province and half of Hebei Province on Earth.

It also has fertile soil and a lot of land suitable for farming, hence the name Fengzhou.

In such a large place, with such land conditions, there are only about four million people left.

How terrifying!

In fact, this was not that unusual in ancient societies that were riddled with wars.

But for Cui Heng's practice, it is quite a tricky thing.

In places like Hedong County and Xiling County that suffered serious military disasters, the new decree was of little use.

Because the local wealthy sects had been killed long ago.

Although Hongyuan County and Shimen County also suffered from military disasters, there are Dasheng Temple and Lianhua Temple in these two places, and there are many powerful landowners left, which can be used as the second batch of operations.

However, the total number of people is still too small.

Even if the new decree is implemented throughout Fengzhou, I am afraid that not enough sentient beings will be able to collect the seven emotions.

In this case, the decree must be radiated to the surrounding areas.

Otherwise there won’t be enough people.

Moreover, this can also cause dissatisfaction with forces in other states and counties.

You can also get a lot of emotional feedback.

The so-called surrounding areas are actually the jurisdictions of neighboring states. To put it bluntly, they want to expand the territory and population of Fengzhou!

boom!

Cui Heng closed the information, closed his eyes slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he opened his eyes and looked at the people below, and suddenly said: "Hui Shi, Chen Tong, please obey."

At this time, there were seven people standing in the inner hall: Zhang Shuming, Hui Shi, Liu Litao, Chen Tong, Xu Fengan, and Wu Yin.

Upon hearing this, Hui Shi and Chen Tong immediately went out to standby.

Cui Heng nodded gently and said in a deep voice: "I ordered Hui Shi to be the governor of the seven counties. He can temporarily take over the administrative and military powers of the seven counties of Lujun, Yanshan, Hongyuan, Shimen, Luo'an, and Changxing to implement the new decree.

"Order Chen Tong to serve as a soldier. He will temporarily accompany Hui Shi to go to various counties and counties to implement the new decree. He can recruit soldiers and form an army. If he sees people being oppressed at the border with other states, he can take advantage of it and lead the troops on his own. rescue."

As soon as this order came out, everyone present knew what he meant.

It is obvious that they want to conquer the city and expand their territory.

"Yes! I will obey your orders!"

Hui Shi and Chen Tong said in unison and accepted the order happily.

Liu Litao and Xu Fengan would naturally have no objections. They were already familiar with Cui Heng's work style, and they would definitely complete whatever they decided on.

As for Zhang Shuming, he already regarded Cui Heng as a heavenly king.

Tianjun naturally does whatever he wants.

Not to mention in this lower realm, even in the upper realm.

"Your Majesty, have you acted too hastily?" Wu Yin was a little worried and stepped forward to persuade him, "I know that you want to practice the cause of great harmony and benefit the people of the world. This is a good deed.

“But if we rashly implement such a drastic policy and seize other states and counties for reforms, I am afraid it will trigger a crazy counterattack from all the sects and families in the world.

"Three hundred years ago, King Hongwu killed all the gods in the world, wiped out the sects of the aristocratic families, almost unified the world, and rebuilt the world. However, he suddenly disappeared when he was about to succeed. This was definitely without the help of the immortals and Buddhas in the upper world.

"Your Majesty, now that a hundred years are approaching, the Immortals and Buddhas from the Upper Realm are about to come. If you act too hastily, the Immortals and Buddhas from the Upper Realm will intervene by then, which may cause a lot of suffering. Please think twice."

"Haha, the situation Wu Biejia said is exactly what I want." Cui Heng laughed when he heard this, and said with his head, "If I implement the executive order like this, those sects and aristocratic families who fought back against Hongwu will indeed jump. come out.

"Moreover, in two months' time, when the immortal Buddha from the upper realm comes and discovers the decree I have implemented, the people who took action against Hongwu in the first place will also be unable to restrain themselves.

"At that time, we will catch them all in one fell swoop and liquidate them together!

“How much research does this save me?

"Why not?"
