"… Investigate that Shili Ling Xiangding is immoral and immoral. Like Quiet Cloud Pavillion, men and women are all evil and promiscuous, announcing it in front of everyone. After a long time, there will be immoral and ruin the martial morals of our Gantian Mountain. From today onwards, we will seal up Shili Ling Xiangding as well as all the brothels in Gantian Mountain City. From today onwards, there will be a curfew in Gantian Mountain City at night! "
The teen instantly smiled and knew that this was the reason for the curfew. Martial customs and morals? This reason was barely passable.
Zhao Yanran who was at the side also paid attention, expressionlessly saying, "Quiet Cloud Pavillion is the outer sect branch of the Qingyin Mountain Sect. 2 days ago, Zong Shou was splashed with a bucket of cold water by the disciples of the Qingyin Sect. "
"So they are using their power to take revenge? Such a personality can't be used. However, it is really interesting … "
The young man in scholarly robes chuckled and glanced at the second decree. He had originally planned to take a cursory glance and leave, but in the next moment, he let out a cry of surprise and completely stopped where he was.
"… All adult couples in Gantian Mountain City who can give birth after 3 children. Those who give birth to an extra child will be rewarded 1 grade 2 beast crystal. Those who give birth to an extra girl will be rewarded 8 grade 1 beast crystals. Those who give birth to more than 3 children, those who don't have enough money to raise their children. You can apply to the city lord manor, after it is verified, the city lord manor can provide for you … "
Compared to 2 days ago, this decree had a large change, in some details it was even more perfect.
The teen's eyes shone, deep in thought, who knows what he was thinking about.
Zhao Yanran who was at the side was slightly shocked, "Your revered one, is there something special about this decree?"
She didn't know much about politics and didn't take a close look at the decrees that came from Zong Shou. She didn't feel much about the benefits of having more people. She only knew that when there were more people, there would be more people in war. As for rewarding people for giving birth, it was indeed a first in Donglin Cloud Continent.
However, according to what she knew, this revered one was once a famous border official in the Central Cloud Continent. He had also traveled in the flourishing lands of other worlds for many years and was very knowledgeable. It was truly surprising that such a character would be surprised by the decree of a Demon King in a desolate land.
"This is indeed rare. Is it to strengthen the foundation of the race? Interesting! "
The young man in scholarly robes nodded. When he was still an official in the Central Continent, he was well aware of the ways of farming and warfare. However, this was the first time he had seen such a method of directly rewarding people with money to stimulate population growth.
Especially for the Demon Clan, whose population was gradually decreasing, it was more like a heart-strengthening pill.
He had looked down on this Zong Shou previously, but he did not expect that this lad was actually quite capable in governing a country.
Then, he looked at the third item — Three days later, the library of the City Lord's Mansion would be opened. The library was divided into five levels. All disciples of the Gantian Mountain Zong Family can choose 5 books from the 1st layer before they reach adulthood. As for the other Gantian Mountain tribes and the Human Race, there were four. The thousands of secret manuals on the 2nd and 3rd layers could be exchanged for with merit points …
The eyes of the teen lit up once more. When the 4th and 5th entered his eyes, a red glow appeared on his face.
"… Any Gantian Mountain citizens, as long as someone is a guarantor, they can borrow money from the City Lord's Manor to purchase pills and weapons. All army disciples don't need a guarantor, interest free … "
"Specially set up a bank with the City Lord's Manor as a guarantor. From today onwards, we will collect retirement and disability funds so that our Gantian Mountain people won't have to worry about being old, disabled, sick and weak. All Gantian Mountain people can participate … "
"Loaning money to raise soldiers, bank to retire. So this is a political matter. It can actually be done like that? "
The teen only looked at half of it before he used his spiritual energy to pull the few worthless beast skins in front of his eyes. Like a treasure, he held it in his hand and looked at it carefully. In his eyes, the crude and simple words seemed to have an endless aftertaste.
He pondered over each sentence and thought about it. A red spiritual pattern slowly appeared at the center of his brows.
After a long while, he gave out a self-mocking laugh and kept the beast skin into his sleeves.
"I can't see any flaws. This is really an eye-opener! If one hears the Dao in the morning, one can die in the evening. This Zong Shou, I really underestimated his ability to govern a country. There were only a few strategies, but they were imposing and majestic. If the Three Saints hadn't deduced that the Divine Emperor a hundred years in the future was a human, they wouldn't have known. I almost thought that this kid was the real godly emperor seed … "
Zhao Yanran could not help but raise her eyebrows. She did not expect that this' revered one 'would have such a high evaluation of Zong Shou. However, when he thought about Zong Shou's narrow-mindedness towards Tranquil Cloud Pavilion and how he used his power to avenge private wrongs, he disapproved of this.
However, no matter how arrogant she was, she didn't dare to refute this Cang Shengdao. Not to mention his identity and cultivation, just his seniority alone was much higher than hers.
"Speaking of which, in the eyes of the revered one, this Zong Shou is a wise ruler?"
"Allowing the old to rely on him and the young to be raised. How is he not a wise ruler? If he was born in the Central Dynasty and was able to do these things, then it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he would be an eternal saint. "
Scoffing coldly, the Confucian-dressed teen corrected her with a straight face. Then, he regretfully shook his head.
"Unfortunately, this method is only suitable for this Gantian Mountain City. The Central Dynasty has a huge population, officials are corrupt and have too many people. No matter how good the decree is, it won't be effective there. It would even torture the people to death. "
Following which he looked curiously at the 6th beast skin, a weird expression appearing in his eyes.
The only one he didn't understand was this one.
"Setting up an elder hall to monitor the flow of money? This is also a good plan. However, this commotion seems a little too big. I feel that something isn't right. It seems like this Zong Shou has other intentions … "
His brows jumped. He could feel that this plan had something to do with him and even Cang Shengdao. It concerned luck.
However, thinking about it carefully, he had no idea. The Confucian-dressed teen could only shake his head, solemnly placing these few beast skins into his sleeves.
Raising his head and looking up, the teen suddenly smiled, "This is the soul calming spiritual tune of the Qingyin Sect? This little girl is really lucky to enter a state of enlightenment. That Zong Shou is also really lucky! No, he is really unlucky … "
Although he couldn't understand the true meaning of Zong Shou's 6th decree, he was looking forward to meeting the new Monster King of Gantian Mountain.
※ ※ ※
The first thing he did after walking out of the ruins was to take a good bath.
After his body was clean, he asked someone to call Renbo over in the middle of the night.
This Renbo was also skilled in the martial path. However, due to him dealing with administrative matters, he didn't have much time to cultivate. This person's foundations weren't bad. However, he only reached the martial ancestor realm when he was forty. When he went up the mountain, his face was filled with exhaustion.
Looking at Zong Shou, his eyes were filled with a fierce glow. From morning to night, he didn't even sleep for 4 hours. Naturally, he was annoyed at this kid who disturbed his sleep.
Even if he was the Monster king of a city, his ruler, he was still annoyed!
It wasn't that Zong Shou didn't feel that he wasn't nice at all. However, that Xuan Yunlan had been staring from the side and wasn't willing to go down the mountain.
She was even kneeling outside his room. She looked like if he didn't agree to give that Shili Ling Xiangding girl a way out, she wouldn't stop. He was forced to do so.
However, after meeting, Renbo kept his emotions, solemnly persuading, "I heard that ruler hasn't dealt with administrative matters for 2 consecutive days. I feel really pained. Ruler focusing on the martial path is a good thing. However, ruler needs to remember that the 10 cities of Gantian Mountain, 80 million people are all tied to you and can't be careless … "
Zong Shou laughed awkwardly and waved his hand. Another line of words was typed out, "I have my own plans for this matter. Let's talk about it after a few days. It won't affect administrative matters."
Just as he was hesitating about how to open his mouth. If he said it openly and other people found out that Xuan Yunlan had come up to persuade him. Then, if he changed his mind that night, how bad would his reputation be?
Following which Renbo's brows relaxed as he said, "Since ruler said that, then you should know that a king's words are worth a lot of weight! There's also one more thing. Shili Ling Xiangding has been sealed up. However, the 100 thousand women inside need a way to survive … "
Zong Shou was delighted when he heard that. He really wanted to sleep and a pillow was sent over. His expression didn't change, "I have thought about this matter. Why not choose a place outside of Gantian Mountain City to build a citadel? Those merchants can also move over. "
"Citadel?" Ren Bo looked at the words formed in the void and muttered to himself. Then, he nodded, "The Monarch is benevolent. This method seems good. Allow this old subject to return and think about the pros and cons before replying to the Monarch."
Zong Shou wasn't surprised. If Renbo agreed right away, he would be disappointed instead.
In his heart, he was thinking about buying land in advance to build houses and collect rent. Zong Shou smiled in satisfaction, "There is also the cloud ocean hunt. Prime minister needs to prepare for it. Inform the races that it would be best if we could set off within a month. "
Renbo's brows rose up. He had been waiting for this matter for a long time. This was a huge matter in Gantian Mountain. If there wasn't such a reason, then it was still okay to call him over in the middle of the night. He instantly bowed, "Ruler, those 250 Cloud Ships, along with the resources and war machines, I have already prepared them. We can set off at any time! "
Zong Shou held his breath, thinking that during this month unless his backer came to find him, he wouldn't dare to run out. Following which he casually changed the topic, "Oh right! Prime minister, I want to copy the Central Continent Emperor Dynasty and build a 6 ministry cabinet system. In a few days, send a name list to me. You have to recommend people who are capable … "
Renbo was startled before he calmed down. Building 6 ministries was a good thing. The official system of Gantian Mountain City was a mess. However, this cabinet probably wanted to split his power. Since it was a cabinet, naturally there would be many ministers …
As expected, a new ruler would have new ministers. This ruler's methods were the same as before, righteous. He, Renbo, would accept it!
However, why did he need him to recommend? That's right, he was definitely testing whether or not he was ambitious and wanted to take power. Hmph, I'll just do my best … (To be continued) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
