Chapter 445: Thoughts of Leaving

The three-legged Golden Crow had escaped, and Ying Zheng was naturally somewhat unwilling, but he could not blame Bai Qi and the others. They had already tried their best; one could see it from the injuries of each person.

And before this, they had also killed many deities of the Divine Court, and Ying Zheng could not demand more.

But fortunately, at the end, that Divine Court Lord had also paid a heavy price to escape.

From Bai Qi's words, Ying Zheng also concluded that this time, not to mention the opponent's cultivation quickly recovering to its peak, it would be good if it didn't fall.

Wanting to recover to its peak would likely require a hundred years or even longer.

This was still a piece of good news for him. Lacking this powerful strength, the Divine Court's strength had also dropped a lot.

He believed that with the current power of that three-legged Golden Crow, it would definitely not dare to return to the Divine Court. Without a powerful powerhouse sitting in charge, the Divine Court was still leaderless and fighting on its own.

Then as long as Great Qin recovered to its peak, they could attack the Divine Court.

Ying Zheng naturally also knew the Divine Court's lair. As long as he destroyed that divine palace, even if he couldn't kill all the deities, it would be enough.

Overthrowing the divine palace that suppressed the Divine Court would also be enough to overthrow the Divine Court's luck.

He had never thought about killing all the deities of the Divine Court; that was impossible. After all, these deities, if they couldn't win, could also escape.

Great Qin also didn't have the ability to pursue everyone. Their plan was originally to kill the important figures of the Divine Court.

And the Divine Court's lair was the top priority. As long as they took down the Divine Court's lair, that divine palace, they could also overthrow the Divine Court's luck.

This time, Bai Qi and the others killed quite a few Three Flowers deities, and added to the ones that fought internally, quite a few died—about a third, or even more.

Dying so many was definitely a heavy blow to the Divine Court, and the Divine Court itself was not stable.

Ying Zheng understood that now was the best opportunity, and it was also his last opportunity.

Of course, this also required Bai Qi and the others to recover.

After the Zhangtai Palace visit, Su Fan and his group also returned to their respective homes.

Bai Qi and the others had suffered very serious injuries, but fortunately, compared to that three-legged Golden Crow, they must be much better off.

With the resources provided by Great Qin, they wouldn't need several years to recover.

Su Fan knew that Ying Zheng was very eager to take action, but he had to wait for Bai Qi and the others to recover.

"Three-legged Golden Crow!"

Su Fan could only shake his head. Plans could never keep up with changes. Ying Zheng's plan was already very good, but unfortunately, he still encountered the reborn three-legged Golden Crow, and that three-legged Golden Crow's plan, schemed for ten thousand years, also encountered Ying Zheng, this emperor through the ages.

Perhaps it was a fateful confrontation.

After all, Great Qin inherited Great Shang's will, first destroying Great Zhou, then dealing with the Divine Court.

Great Shang's destruction had a direct relationship with the Divine Court and Western Zhou, and of course, there were also some feudal lords.

However, those feudal lords had either disappeared in history or become nobles of various states, but now, they were either dead or prisoners, and some could only hide everywhere like mice.

Naturally, after Su Fan's reform, Great Qin's national strength constantly climbed, and the bottom layer became increasingly peaceful. Those nobles wanting to borrow the power of the locality was also very difficult.

After all, there were not many true ambitious people.

Mixing with Great Qin, at least they could eat and drink their fill, and their power would not be too restricted.

Especially these large local clans—Great Qin's official authority was strict, but with their ability, they quickly integrated.

After all, the number of officials needed by Great Qin's official authority was truly too many. Talents were insufficient, and they also needed these people with high prestige in the locality.

Many people before felt that Great Qin's laws were too strict and could not accept them, nor did they want to accept them.

But now it was different. Great Qin's reform also became relaxed toward the local large clans.

Even if a portion of their interests was cut, it wouldn't hurt their bones. Plus, Great Qin's agricultural technology was also not bad for the large clans. As long as they could work, the harvest was much more than in the past.

The only thing was that there would be fewer tenant farmers.

After all, the grain in the fields increased, and many people didn't need too much land to support a family and were unwilling to become their tenant farmers again.

Unwilling to be exploited by these large clans—this was also the reason why these large clans were afraid.

Losing these bottom-layer commoners, they had no ability to resist at all.

And those nobles, losing the help of these local large clans, all became extremely difficult.

Su Fan's reform could be said to be drawing firewood from under the cauldron, solving the thoughts of those nobles from the root.

Without bottom-layer commoners and local large clans, these nobles were duckweeds. Even if they had some experts, so what? Could they dare to directly attack Great Qin?

Once revealed, if discovered by the Net, Shadow Secret Guard, or even the Black Ice Terrace, they would also be hard-pressed to escape death.

"Ten years."

Su Fan stood on the top of the Marquis Mansion's pavilion, looking at Xianyang City, lost in thought. Coming to this world, it had already been more than ten years.

This time, compared to the previous few worlds, was not long. After all, he had stayed in those few worlds until his physical body decayed and he died naturally before returning.

Now in this world, if he really wanted to stay, even a few hundred years would be fine. With his current cultivation, he was enough to live for three hundred years.

This was still the restriction of this world. If it were in the main world, with his realm, he would at least be over eight hundred years old; that would be Peng Zu.

However, Su Fan also felt that he could almost leave. This world, for him, was ultimately just a passing traveler.

He had brought many things to this world, especially for Great Qin—he was truly a saint in the world.

Agricultural technology—now Great Qin's one mu of land was enough to produce four or five shi of grain. An ordinary adult ate only three or four shi a year, so ten mu of land was enough to support a family.

And ten mu of land, for the current Great Qin, was not very difficult.

Great Qin's official authority was quite active in reclaiming wasteland and also very encouraged the commoners to go and reclaim wasteland.

And with the end of the war, Great Qin was no longer bellicose, and the grain tax in the fields also began to decrease.

So in these few years, almost no commoners would starve to death.

Even if they encountered any disaster, Great Qin's official authority had enough grain, and Great Qin's official authority was not like some dynasties in later generations, where officials were greedy to the extreme.

Su Fan had reformed, but for officials breaking the law, it was a crime plus one degree. Especially in terms of corruption, they had not modified the original Qin law.

So in Great Qin, being an official was not so wonderful; they were tired to death. Of course, the salary of Great Qin's officials was absolutely the best among many dynasties.

It could be considered high salary to raise honesty. ===== CHAPTER 446 =====
