Chapter 342 Three Palaces and Six Courtyards
Daming Sect.

A thousand evil knights besieged the hilltop inside the city.

The evil army was led by the prince himself, with General Hei as his deputy commander. At this moment, they had completed the incorporation of the defeated soldiers.

After excluding the private soldiers of aristocratic families and various relatives, the total number rose to more than 30,000 after absorbing children from good families. At this moment, 5,000 were allocated to Wuzong to serve as the basis of the Wuwei Army.

Ah Er was walking slowly on the mountain road when several teams of vicious knights passed by from behind. They rushed into a closed martial arts house not far away and started hacking and killing, beheading dozens of warriors who were resisting stubbornly.

The Daming Sect is an alliance of various underworld forces in the Daming Prefecture. As it is ranked among the 27th sects in the world, the sect’s fields do not need to pay taxes to the court. This benefit has attracted countless small landowners to join it. The sect also manages its own finances and personnel appointments and dismissals, making it look like a country within a country.

Mountain top, big name.

More than twenty elders and two deputy sect leaders sat in silence to express their protest. Among them, there were three grandmasters, all of whom were at the peak of bronze level, which showed their profound foundation.

You could hear a pin drop in the hall, and the two deputy sect leaders closed their eyes to rest.

Pingluan Hou had previously displayed his invincible fighting power, and Daimyo clan had already given up the idea of ​​armed confrontation, but the conditions given by Wuzong were too harsh.

Donate copies of all martial arts books.

Join Wuzong and hand over the command of the Wuwei Army.

From now on, taxes must be paid strictly in accordance with the standards of the “Daqian Law”, and all land under your name will be redistributed.

Any one of these three clauses would seriously damage the interests of the sect. The only good news is that the sect’s management can be retained and assets other than land are allowed to be inherited.

Faced with the evil and unruly people, the two deputy clan leaders and elders chose to use non-violent tactics.

The order has been given, but the army has just entered the city and there is unrest. It takes time to execute, notify, and investigate. As for the issue of the amount of land, the Discipline Hall and the Treasury are discussing it, and it has not yet been clarified who will be responsible.

“Everyone, are you planning to resist to the end?” Ah Er said with a smile, his tone quite kind.

The deputy leader stood up and said with an apologetic smile, “What are you saying, sir? We will definitely fulfill the request of the Marquis of Suppressing Rebellion, but the matter is indeed complicated. Even if you kill us, the disciples who take our place will not be able to do it immediately, and it will waste time. We must study things to gain knowledge.”

Ah Er nodded, “That makes sense, let’s kill him and see.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ah Er took action immediately. His silver-level physique combined with the Leopard Knight Construct Armor allowed him to reach the table in the blink of an eye. He punched out, and the deputy sect leader’s head exploded.

The elders watched coldly, and another deputy sect leader wiped the flesh off his face and sighed:

“Your Excellency is extremely powerful, but the skills, army, and land are our lives and property. Without them, let alone personal gains and losses, what will happen to our descendants?”

“Violence cannot solve all problems. You can kill all of us, and you can kill all of the Daming Sect. But if you can’t kill all of the sects in the world, the experience of the Daming Sect today is for everyone to witness.”

“I hope you will put the overall situation first. Once the overall situation is overturned and all the skills are burned, I am sure that the Marquis of Suppressing the Rebellion will not forgive you.”

Ah Er sneered: “You guys have been spoiled into bad habits.”

boom!
Another punch, and the second deputy sect leader died.

Boom boom boom!
Ah Er kept punching with a ferocious look on his face. The elders were terrified, but facing a grandmaster-level fighter, resistance was meaningless, and bodies fell one after another in the hall.

After five elders had died, it was finally the turn of a guy who was really afraid of death.

“Sir, please stop fighting!”

Ah Er withdrew his hand with satisfaction, summoned a flying bird, and said with emotion: “Commander Wu is right indeed. You have deep-rooted weaknesses. You will be the lord of the Daimyo clan next.”

“As for strength, it’s not important at all, but you should have seen that life is not life in my eyes. I only care about the orders of the Grand Lord.”

“Take care of yourself. Or maybe you think you are the only one in the world who is afraid of death. If you are really irreplaceable, then I don’t mind admitting defeat. That’s all I have to say today. I’ll come back tomorrow.”

The bird landed on the head of the new daimyo clan leader.

After the executive officer hunting mission was launched, the authority of Wuhe’s intelligence officers was greatly enhanced, and the scope of monitoring and communication was restored to the level of the remaining life world, and it was no problem to include Daqian.

After seeing off A’er, the Daimyo clan leader was immediately glared at by his former colleagues.

“What are you looking at? Who can do anything about this trend?”

……

At the same time, above Yizhou.

A crow carrying an electronic device patrols the earth.

You can see the rivers, lakes, seas, grasses, mountains and rivers.

“…population 952 million…”

“…fertile land under cultivation…”

“…weather forecast data…”

“… a comprehensive estimate of food production…”

Wuhe uploaded all the data to Dawn Intelligence. With the prism equipment of the Void Battleship Saint Lilith, Dawn’s computing power was significantly enhanced and could already support massive computing.

Because of its absolute military support, Yuwangcheng intends to violently transform Daqian and adopt the overall strategy of governing the country with AI.

Yizhou is now regarded as a whole, and all personnel have their voice and status determined by their contribution points. Specifically, the total amount and quality of grain produced by a farmer throughout the year can be compared with the intelligent estimation standard to obtain an accurate contribution value. Considering the current productivity of Yizhou, contribution points cannot be used as a common currency, so new banknotes need to be exchanged with the Gold and Silver Bureau. The cross-era technology provides a guarantee for anti-counterfeiting. At the same time, the members of the Gold and Silver Bureau are all Shuguang people, which eliminates internal problems.

“The introduction of new banknotes is a big problem.”

“How to build credit also needs to be considered.”

“Happiness comes from comparison, and we need to set up levels and establish promotion channels…”

Wuhe felt a headache about the heavy work that was coming. With the current number of Dawn People and Evil Soldiers, they could only control Yizhou for the time being. He had to deal with all aspects of the problem so that his boss could become the emperor comfortably.

……

June 5, the first year of Jianyan.

Twenty thousand Anbei cavalrymen were stationed at various intersections between Yizhou and other states, blocking the border. Yizhou entered a period of brutal and rapid turmoil.

A large number of spies crossed mountains and rivers in an attempt to sneak in, but they were killed by the evil knights and the bird legion.

Daming Mansion, Anbei Governor’s Mansion.

Jiang He woke up from his antique bedroom, ending a two-hour sleep. He pushed open the door and walked into the yard, where the wing rooms were brightly lit.

Now all the military and political affairs of Yizhou have been handed over to “Commander Wu” and “General Hei”. He is only responsible for dealing with possible high-level creatures or armies of other forces.

At this moment, Yizhou does not seem to have changed much, but the underlying operating rules have long since become intelligent algorithms. The strategy that Wuhe chose to implement is an unlimited version of the planned economy. First, the framework is created, and then it is applied to all aspects of Yizhou. Where there are differences, they are directly cut down. The Damingfu Prison is happily overcrowded.

Jiang He came to the wing room, where Lao Hei and Wu He were working hard. Their diligence led to the destruction of more than a dozen middle-class families, and the resistance to land redistribution was beyond imagination.

“Cancel miscellaneous taxes. Whoever collects them will die.”

“The annual grain supply will be split equally between the farmers and the Marquisate, with the Marquisate taking out 29% to regulate the economy…”

“Human trafficking and assault, just kill.”

“If the amount of land exceeds a thousand acres, just kill them directly.”

“You dare to take the high salary to maintain integrity? Kill you directly.”

……

Dozens of words “kill” were written all over the documents in the Marquis’s mansion.

Jiang He bent down and tilted his head to take a look at Wuhe’s mental state. He was slightly relieved when he was sure that there was no serious problem.

These orders are far from perfect. For example, on the highly controversial issue of infringement, direct execution may result in the victim being killed after the process is completed. Knowing that the criminal will die, there is a high probability that he will completely indulge his malice.

On the other hand, many Shuguang people believe that concessions are the main reason for the emergence of such cases.

For such situations, the decision of the Marquis’s Mansion is to cut off Yizhou with one stroke, ruthlessly. Since the stay time is only half a year, the integrity of the framework cannot be compromised, otherwise the adjustment will greatly prolong the adaptation period.

After a while, Wu He looked up and saw that the boss had already practiced the Sun Breathing Method, so he could only say softly:
“Boss, among the four great families in Yizhou, the He family would rather die than surrender. Ah Er killed General He. The Anbei Army is being incorporated and the land has been redistributed.”

“The Yan family wanted to surrender, but I refused. The head of the Yan family and his second son are in prison now.”

“The Zhu and Hong families are willing to cooperate unconditionally with any action of the Marquis’ Mansion. The two family heads expressed that they do not want to go against several great masters, but the prerequisite is that the Marquis’ Mansion marries the legitimate daughters of the two families. Otherwise, with more than a dozen middle-grade aristocratic families destroyed, they really cannot be trusted.”

“Finally, King Anbei was also willing to cooperate. He didn’t have a legitimate son, but he had a niece.”

Wu He said sincerely: “With the Zhu family, the Marquis’ Mansion will be able to greatly speed up the control of Yizhou’s officialdom. The Hong family’s words are the law of the world, and the King of Anbei was originally half the master of Yizhou. As long as we are moderate, we can greatly speed up the progress.”

Jiang He was a little stunned. He wanted to retract his judgment that there was nothing wrong with Wuhe’s mental state.

Lao Hei said earnestly: “Xiao He, if you want to be the emperor, how can you be alone?”

Jiang He stroked his chin and said, “So, I have to marry three women at once?”

Wuhe shook his head. “Three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines, Boss, these are all indispensable to the emperor. As long as it is profitable, there is no need for us to refuse…right.”

Lao Hei consoled him, “There’s no need to invest your feelings in it. The Silver Powers’ creatures and ordinary people can’t give birth to offspring.”

Jiang He pondered for a while, then stood up and said, “You guys make the arrangements. I’ll go to the cell with Zhuang Ya first. Black Rose’s promotion is the most urgent matter. Also, if we find any violators, we need to control them first. Once they die, Wuhe’s authority will be restored to its original form.”

“I understand.” Wuhe and Laohei replied.

Jiang He walked out of the room and saw Zhuang Ya still standing guard at the door.

“Good morning, Snake.”

“You will probably be promoted to the chief eunuch soon.”

“I’m not a eunuch.”

“The functions are the same.”

“don’t know.”

Jiang He led Zhuang Ya out of the Anbei Governor’s Mansion. Daming Prefecture was as prosperous as ever. After a week, a total of 102,000 volumes of martial arts had been collected from the Daming Sect and the royal palace’s armory.
