At this moment, the Tonight Rain Pavilion was as silent as death. All of the Confucian scholars present were sitting there with blank and pale faces. They seemed to have lost their ability to react as they muttered to themselves.
Those Confucians who only agreed and didn't say anything bad all had a look of relief in their eyes. Within Da Qian, one couldn't use words to offend people. The words they said weren't enough to cause them to be convicted.
At most, if people found out, it would be tough for them to enter the government.
The few people who were cursing were completely disheartened. All of their energy and spirit had disappeared without a trace in this instant.
On the contrary, those merchants and rich people were all pumped up and delighted.
"Jun Shang, he actually won …"
"Ruler ascended at 15 and expanded tens of thousands of miles in these 10 years. He also laid down a huge foundation in the outer region. Although he hates ruling the country, his military strategy is unparalleled. How can such a Ruler be compared to Taishang's Emperor Yuanchen who could only defend the city? How can he be the stupid ruler that the Confucians are talking about? "
"Haha! What amusing is that those Confucians really thought that Ruler built the Jiuchi Palace for fun? Ruler isn't some arrogant Zhou … "
"I couldn't stand it long ago. They are actually so rude! I really wish Jun Shang could capture them and cut them into a thousand pieces. "
Their words didn't bother about the many Confucians in the pavilion as they mocked. However, the current situation had already flipped. If it was the latter, they would be furious but not dare to say anything, all of them feeling dejected.
"Tsk tsk, luckily I locked my kid at home and didn't allow him to come out. This kid was tempted by the Confucians and actually believed Zhu Zi's words. Those Confucian Colleges are really troublesome … "
"Now that our Da Qian has won, can we move into the mid plains? Jiangnan is undefended, so we should be able to take it down, right? The five states of Jiangnan are famous for being rich. "
In the southern corner, Yang Ming and Wen Wei were looking at each other in a daze.
Zong Xi was also in a daze, totally distracted.
Taishang losing was something unimaginable to him. The mid plains Emperor Dynasty was really strong, ten times stronger than Gan. How could he be defeated so easily?
However, looking at how everyone was speaking in unison, it seemed like it wasn't fake.
"Eight hundred thousand elites were all wiped out in front of the Jiuchi Palace, in the Godfall Plains? Looks like the world is really going to be in chaos. "
'Yang Ming' took a sip of wine and sighed. He expected that Yin Yu and the three sects would try to break the stalemate.
He had also guessed that the Taishang might attack from the Jiuchi Palace. He had no choice but to enter the battlefield that China had chosen. However, he did not expect that the Taishang would lose so miserably.
Eight hundred thousand men was only one out of twenty-two of the eighteen million strong army.
However, at this time, Taishang's spine had been completely broken by Zong Shou!
Although there were still tens of millions of troops north of Min River, they were already meat on the chopping board, waiting to be slaughtered. They were powerless to reverse the situation.
After losing these elite soldiers, the north of the Taishang would be in an even more dire situation. As for the country itself, it was going to be chaotic.
"It's not just this world that's in chaos."
'Wen Wei' laughed bitterly and frowned. Although the world was in chaos, there would also be disputes within the Confucian Sect.
There were countless factions within the Confucian Sect. In the past, the Confucian Sect was the strongest. With Zhu Zi suppressing it, the side factions within the Confucian Sect could only bow their heads and not say a word.
However, after this huge change, who knew how many people would jump out and question Saint Zhu Zi?
"Yang Ming, in your opinion, how trustworthy is it that the Da Qian ruler is the reigning saint?"
He was most concerned about this matter. If Zong Shou was really the ruler recognized by heaven and earth, then the current situation of the Confucian Sect would be much worse.
'Zong Xi' also perked up his ears and was also curious about this matter.
"I don't know about this either!"
Yang Ming shook his head. After all, he had not seen it with his own eyes and did not know the real news. How could he be sure? However …
"However, if the Da Qian ruler is really the saint, then he has the Qilin as his companion. Then, the Taoist Sect's Purple Qilin Flame Spear Cavalry will definitely be wiped out! "
"Oh?"
Wen Wei's eyes flashed and he understood what he meant.
The Saint Beast Qilin King had the ability to counter the Xuan Flame Golden Qilin Beasts of the Confucian Sect.
The Purple Qilin Flame Spear Cavalry was a top Dao Soldier, but if they faced a true Saint Ruler, they wouldn't be able to fight back at all.
It seemed like the defeat of the three factions was due to this. If not, why would they lose so badly?
"Most probably! Speaking of which, the Gan Country ruler's actions are the true path of a benevolent king? He was recognized by the Heavens and the Dao … "
"How is that possible, it's so preposterous …"
Zong Xi was in a daze. Today's matter had a huge impact on his ideals and it could be said that it was toppling.
"He is the Saint Ruler!"
Yang Ming looked out of the window in a daze. "As they say, a gentleman doesn't stand beside a collapsing wall. I am prepared to move my family over to Donglin. From what I see, the Taishang won't collapse in a short period of time. However … "
This time, 'Wen Wei' wasn't surprised.
The Da Qian won and had become the overlord of the Cloud World. The country was strong and the people were happy. On the contrary, the Taishang was in a precarious situation after this defeat. Even if they could maintain it, they wouldn't be able to hold on for long.
Actually, when he heard the news of the Da Qian victory, he had such a thought in his heart to temporarily move to Donglin to avoid the chaotic world.
"If possible, it is best to become an official in the Da Qian. If we want to observe the economy of this country, it will be like looking at flowers in the fog and we won't be able to understand it. Only after becoming an official and holding a certain amount of power can we understand the foundations. "
Zong Xi was shocked and anxiously said, "But that Taishang Ruler personally said that he wants to burn books and destroy Confucianism to wipe out our Confucian Faction."
Yang Ming didn't reply, only exchanging glances with that 'Wen Wei' and smiling. How would they not know that the Da Qian Ruler was only unhappy with the current Confucian teachings and Zhu Zi?
They believed that in the Confucian Faction, they weren't the only ones who saw through this matter.
Zong Xi still wanted to speak, but outside of the Jinyu Pavilion, a heaven-shaking cheer spread out.
"The Ruler has won, there are five decrees to spread to the world …"
"Farmers don't need to pay taxes and instead will be subsidized? This, this is really a legend! "
"Speaking of which, our Da Qian taxes are really little. Instead, the three taxes take up 90%. It is okay to remove them! "
"Set up retirement funds for the farmers and workers of the world? So that the people of Da Qian can be taken care of and won't have to worry about ten thousand years of poverty? His Majesty is really a Saint Ruler! "
"Demon Slaying Decree? These Demon Path people really deserve to die! If my cultivation wasn't not enough and I was only Grade-2, I would want to personally kill a few of them! "
"Remove the three Law Divisions and set up a Law Department. They won't listen to the Cabinet and will only be supervised by the Meeting Hall. From today on, the Ruler will be under the law? If the Ruler breaks the law, he will be punished the same as the people? I don't understand, how weird. The Ruler is a rare Saint Ruler, so why is there a need to do this? "
"Remove all physical punishment? Good! Good! Good! The Ruler is really benevolent! However, why couldn't my nephew meet such a Saint Ruler earlier? He only took three rounds of money and cut off three fingers. Even if he regrets it now, his broken limbs can't be regrown … "
"Banning all land transactions, the government will buy it and give it to the landless people? Is there a need? Farming now doesn't earn money. My family has long wanted to sell some of their land. Who knows how much the government will subsidize? "
A bright glow flashed in the eyes of Yangming and Wen Wei. With a flash, they were outside of the Jinyu Pavilion.
The place where the notice was posted was not far away, two thousand feet away on a green stone wall.
At this moment, this place was filled with people. Who knows how many there were.
Luckily, the two of them had the ability to float in the air. Their spiritual eyes could see a thousand miles. Looking out from afar, they were able to see all the contents of the notice.
Wen Wei instantly sucked in a cold breath, "The moment this decree goes out, the hearts of the people will all belong to Da Qian! If he can do that, then the Ruler of Da Qian is indeed the Saint Ruler of the world! "
Yangming looked around, "The officials will take in grain and distribute land equally. This plan can be said to have offended the nobles of the world. What is weird is that looking at the situation here, these people actually have no intention to resist. "
Among the crowd, there were many rich people and even officials. However, some of them were filled with righteous indignation and dissatisfaction. Although some of them were unhappy, most of them were expressionless and didn't care much about it.
It was obvious that Zong Shou's decree didn't touch their sore spot.
Was it related to the policy of focusing on commerce? Yangming was deep in thought.
When one did business, one's income far exceeded that of farming, and one might even lose money. To these people, there was no need to keep the land in their hands.
Actually, be it Donglin or South Wind Cloud Road, they were both vast and sparsely populated.
There were still numerous pieces of land that could be developed. Zong Shou's plan was most probably to prepare for entering the Central Cloud Continent.
First, he set the country policy. When he entered in the future, he would face resistance from the aristocratic families of the central plains.
However, it was better than the country policy being held hostage by these aristocratic families in the future.
His plans were far-reaching!
He was becoming more and more curious about this Da Qian Ruler. Unfortunately, he wasn't famous enough and had no chance to meet him …
Shaking his head, Yangming looked at the last decree. He heard an arrogant laugh in his ear.
"Is the King under the law? What Xun Zi wished for and what Hanzi wanted was personally realized by a Cang Shengdao disciple. What would the two of them think if they knew about this? The descendant of Xi Zi, who advocates for equality in the world, is the Saint Ruler. Has the heavens really opened their eyes? "
That laughter reverberated for miles, attracting the attention of everyone here.
Even Yang Ming and Wen Wei were also curious and turned their heads.
They saw a middle-aged Prince dressed like a scholar, but he didn't care about his appearance, walking into the distance.
"Gathering the scholars of the world to comment on the Confucian Faction. Talking about the merits of the Confucian Faction and their faults! Commenting on the Confucian Faction! How vicious, but I like it! As expected from the Emperor of Shengming, he is much stronger than that Qin Emperor! "
Yangming kept silent. Zong Shou's decree was indeed vicious. He wanted to rip open the Confucian Faction for everyone to see.
Wen Wei frowned and wanted to walk up. However, Yangming reached out and stopped him.
