Chapter 480: Ten years of reform, Xue Zijing who came from the state, Dragon

As the most famous gold-selling cave in Yan Ling City, the top level of the Shigui Restaurant is not only reflected in the high origin of the singing girls, dancing girls, waiters, and servants, the high standard of various top-level fine wines and delicacies, and the high cost of spending money like water, etc.

Its privacy is also first-class!

The main structure of the entire building is made of ten thousand-forged iron materials, and the inside and outside are covered with a layer of yellow pear wood. It is not only pleasing to the eye but also has sound insulation. If the doors and windows in the building are closed, even if people are stuck to the wall, they can't hear any movement.

The specifications of the private rooms on the third floor of the restaurant are even higher.

The four walls of the private room, along with the floor, are all covered with blood jade cedar produced from Zhu He Ridge in the north of Longxing City, which is said to be equal in value to silver.

The internal structure of this blood jade cedar is extremely similar to human flesh and blood. Even after being cut and cut, the blood energy will continue to be born inside. Usually, powerful people, whether it is perception or peeping, are basically through the movement of Qi and muscle, and the unique structure of this blood jade cedar directly cuts off this possibility from the root.

This super high privacy is the core reason why it is equal in value to silver.

Just at the same time Xia Hong and Ji Hong were talking.

In another private room on the top floor, a middle-aged scholar with a blue jade-colored brocade suit and a black Bian crown sat by the window, holding a wine glass, carefully examining the furnishings in the private room.

"Ten thousand-forged iron materials for the foundation, yellow pear wood for decoration, plus this blood jade cedar equal in value to silver, and all the furnishings and decorations in the building, this restaurant alone, just to build it, will cost at least one hundred million taels of silver. These noble family disciples, the money they spend on singing girls is enough for a slave to save for decades. No wonder people say that in the four feudal towns, below the noble status, they are all ants. This is not false!"

There was not only him in the private room, but also five other people, three of whom were middle-aged people of similar age to him, all wearing black robes and waist-worn weapons, and the remaining young man and woman in green brocade suits and waist-worn long swords.

Xue Wuhen heard his uncle's words and couldn't help but say: "Uncle cares about the common people, traveled far and wide, and came to Chen Cang to make suggestions, but didn't want them to be so ungrateful. Since this is the case, why stay here for a long time? The Ice Abyss is vast, are you afraid that you can't find a strong feudal town that can implement your philosophy?"

"It's not ungrateful..."

Bai Qingqing, the green-clothed woman beside Xue Wuhen, immediately retorted him upon hearing this, and then paused and continued: "Chu Fangbo has the heart to reform, but he is constrained by others and has no power to promote it at all. Chen Cang Lingyi, the six departments, the five major county governors, and the two city masters, among the top-level people who agree to reform, there is only one Yan Ling County Governor Chu Tianxu. Even the Fangbo's own family does not agree. The Longxing Chen clan doesn't even need to trip him up, just waiting to watch the joke."

"Watch the joke?"

Hearing the words of his niece Bai Qingqing, Xue Zijing couldn't help but smile, turned his head to look at her and asked: "Is Qingqing feeling that the Yan Ling reform cannot be achieved?"

Bai Qingqing didn't answer immediately, but lowered her head and thought.

Uncle Xue Zijing came to the Moao River ten years ago. After traveling for four years, he finally chose to come to Chen Cang. He won the appreciation of Chu Fangbo with a reform theory, was given a high position as Taiyi, led the government, and promoted reform slowly.

But reform, where is it so easy?

The Fangbo lineage of the four feudal towns of the Moao River, together with the noble families surrounding them, have been passed down for a short of one hundred years and a long of three or four hundred years. The six-grade register system has been implemented for nearly a hundred years. Suddenly saying that reform is needed, the resistance is imaginable.

Three years ago, with the support of Chu Fangbo, Uncle topped the scolding of the entire Chen Cang high-level and finally won the collection right for the slaves.

The subsequent three-year growth of the financial department's income fully verified the correctness of Uncle's reform theory, but it also made the counterattack of the Chen Cang conservative faction even more fierce.

Taking advantage of the Lu He Valley Camp incident five days ago, the conservative faction belittled Uncle, saying that the income growth of the financial department for three consecutive years was not enough to offset the millet field losses in Lu He Valley this time, and then attacked Uncle's many reform measures, and even jointly petitioned Chu Fangbo to remove Uncle's Taiyi position.

"The Lu He Valley mutiny incident further proves the urgency of reform. The Frost Ash Society knew that the uprising could not succeed, why did they make such a big commotion? They are afraid, afraid that the deeper the reform is promoted, the less soil they will have to survive on..."

Fortunately, Chu Fangbo is ultimately a hero who knows talent. Under Uncle's argument, he not only withstood the pressure of the Chen Cang high-level but even listened to Uncle's admonition, pushed aside all opinions, and let Uncle take Yan Ling as a pilot, with a ten-year period, to comprehensively promote reform. As long as the reform is proven feasible and can strengthen Chen Cang's strength, it will be promoted throughout the feudal town at that time.

"Is Qingqing feeling that the Yan Ling reform cannot be achieved?"

Uncle always asks to get to the bottom of things and draw inferences from one instance. If she just answers that it cannot be achieved, it will definitely not work, so she must think clearly about the reason.

Xue Zijing knew that his niece was thinking, so he didn't disturb her, and waited quietly with a smile on his face. After waiting for thirty or forty breaths, Bai Qingqing finally opened her mouth.

"Of course it cannot be achieved, for three reasons:

First, Chen Cang has two clans side by side, the internal situation is complex, Chu Fangbo is still constrained by others, and it is difficult to move. Not to mention Uncle, an outsider Taiyi?

Second, the resistance to reform is too great. The decentralization of collection rights and the growth of the financial department's income for three consecutive years are mostly due to the increase in the output of lower-level spirit plants and medicinal materials, which in turn affects the decrease in the price of lower-level spirit pills. For major noble families, they don't lack these things at all, and lower prices are useless to them. Moreover, it will also reduce the income of major families doing this kind of business. In the end, the income benefit is only good for the Fangbo, and the bottom layer benefits.

However, having said that, Uncle's reform, in the final analysis, is to damage the noble families to supplement the Fangbo. The commoners benefit from it. For those noble families, it is a hundred harms and no benefits in the short term. They will inevitably make trouble from it and will not let Uncle promote it smoothly in Yan Ling County.

As for the third reason, it is this Frost Ash Society..."

After Bai Qingqing finished speaking, she paused, a hint of incredulity rose in her eyes, and then she shook her head and continued: "I originally thought that this Frost Ash Society was supported by external feudal town forces. Now it seems that even if there is external feudal town force intervention, the basic disk of this organization is still their own people in Chen Cang.

And it is very likely to be the Chen clan. Chu Fangbo should also know it in his heart, but because of the Chen clan's strength, and the things the organization did before were not too much, he has never dared to take action.

It's just that I didn't expect that in order to oppose reform, they could be so crazy as to burn a hundred miles of millet fields, a loss of more than ten billion. Chu Fangbo was also angered this time, so he was so tough, suppressed the voices of many opponents, and let Uncle go to Yan Ling to promote comprehensive reform..."

Speaking of this, Bai Qingqing paused again, shaking her head repeatedly: "But the more this is the case, the greater the split within Chen Cang. The Frost Ash Society can even do such things, which is equivalent to directly telling Chu Fangbo that reform is absolutely impossible. Chu Fangbo is tough again, how can he beat so many people?"

"Internal chaos and opposition; Fangbo is constrained by others, alone and helpless; the conservative faction is deeply rooted and difficult to shake; and there is internal and external collusion, and the Frost Ash Society is already making trouble; the total population of the feudal town is 22 million, and the slave status and base status people account for nearly sixty percent. The upper layer is extravagant, and the lower layer is miserable. This Chen Cang seems powerful, only one line worse than Wei Bo, but the internal problems are as many as cow hair, and it is already a boiler that is crazily heating up. Some ailments have even reached the point of being difficult to return, sigh..."

It was originally to test his niece. Bai Qingqing could see the problems, how could Xue Zijing not see them? He said all the problems of Chen Cang in one breath, and then couldn't help but shake his head repeatedly.

"Then let's go! There are five feudal towns in the Moao River. Uncle doesn't look down on the Lu Long feudal town, but the cousin just mentioned Wei Bo, didn't Uncle look very good at Wei Bo before? At worst, just go to Wei Bo!"

"Wei Bo?"

Xue Zijing thought for a moment upon hearing this, then shook his head: "Although Wei Bo is strong, the location is too bad, there are many disasters in the town, the population is not prosperous, and in my opinion, that Li Gangfeng is obsessed with longevity, wholeheartedly cultivating, and his ambition is not in the four feudal towns. In the end, it is difficult to achieve big things. Furthermore..."

Speaking of this, he paused, swept away the decadence on his face just now, and revealed a hint of self-confidence in his eyes: "The more difficult things are to handle, the greater the harvest will be after they are handled. Knowing that it cannot be done and doing it, is precious!

The human race struggles to survive in the Ice Abyss world, and it is also the same reason. If you change your path as soon as you see difficulties, if you retreat, where will the five feudal towns of the Moao River come from, and where will the prosperity of my Daxu state come from?"

When Xue Zijing mentioned the Daxu state, his face was full of piety and solemnity, and the three black-clothed middle-aged men beside him, as well as Xue Wuhen and Bai Qingqing, also had expressions identical to his.

"The more complex and difficult the situation in Chen Cang is, the more we must meet the difficulties. Among the five feudal towns of the Moao River, only Chu Fangbo has the posture of a hero. As long as the Yan Ling reform is thoroughly promoted, let him see the effect, increase support, and then promote it to the entire feudal town, I have confidence, within thirty years, the effort of one generation, Chen Cang's strength, will surely rank first among the five feudal towns.

At that time, slowly annex the four feudal towns, expand in all directions, wait for the territory to be ten thousand miles, the four barbarians to submit, and achieve a supreme state..."

Xue Zijing suddenly stopped, seeing his nephew and niece looking at him with strange expressions, realizing that what he said was a bit outrageous, and couldn't help but laugh and shake his head: "Hahaha, passed, a bit passed."

Xue Wuhen shook his head. He naturally had confidence in his uncle's talent, but to say that Chen Cang could achieve a supreme state one day was too outrageous. He only thought his uncle was joking;

Bai Qingqing is a girl, with great courage and a straightforward personality, couldn't help but directly hit: "Uncle, you are wholeheartedly thinking about assisting Chen Cang to achieve a supreme state, but Chen Cang doesn't appreciate it! Now it is rumored that we are all Lu Long sinners, and the whole family was exterminated by the Lu Long Fangbo, and we had to escape to Chen Cang to avoid disaster."

"Tsk..."

Xue Wuhen sneered with disdain after hearing his cousin's words. He was speechless about this outrageous rumor.

"Hahaha..."

Xue Zijing didn't care, laughed a few times and said: "Just making up some rumors, to put it bluntly, it's just that they don't like me!"

After speaking, he stood up directly, his spirit slightly shook, and he laughed loudly: "Fangbo treats me as a national scholar, I will naturally go through fire and water, and return it as a national scholar. Whether Chen Cang can leap over the dragon gate and take a peek at the prosperous state, it depends on the success or failure of the ten-year reform in Yan Ling. Let's go! Follow me to see this Chu Tianxu, the only Chu County Governor in Chen Cang who supports my reform!"

The two young people immediately followed behind him, and the three black-clothed middle-aged men stepped forward quickly to open the door for him. ===== CHAPTER 481 =====
