Jing Hongchen was very fast. In the evening, he and his group arrived above the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy and landed.
Just like facing the exchange students from Shrek Academy, Jing Hongchen pulled out ten senior researchers and teachers from Mingde Hall, who were selected by the students and teachers, fully demonstrating the grandeur of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy.
Xuan Ziwen was not among this group of teachers, so Xu Tianxi deliberately crossed out his name and replaced him with another one.
To prevent accidents, strategic talents like Xuan Ziwen should not have contact with foreign personnel. If they are abducted or cheated of something valuable, it would be too late to cry.
Xu Jiujiu smiled and saw Lin Jiayi distributing campus cards and Mingdu temporary ID cards to students one by one. He asked Xu Tianxi:
"Duke Zhenguo, these things seem very new? Haven't you heard of them in a long time?"
Xu Tianxi took out his campus card and ID card and introduced: "The laboratories of our college teachers all need this card to open the door. As for the ID card, it was also my suggestion."
Xu Jiujiu blinked her beautiful eyes and asked, "Why do you suggest this?"
"It makes it convenient for me to search homes and register people." Xu Tianxi said calmly.
"Without identification, they can't escape Mingdu. This technique isn't very difficult. If you're interested, you can let your people learn it."
Xu Tianxi generously shared his rich experience with friendly forces and was even willing to share relevant technologies.
He really hoped that the Xing Luo Empire would crack down on those lawless nobles. This would, on the one hand, improve people's lives to some extent, and on the other hand, prevent him from doing the same thing again in the future.
It should be noted that most of those nobles are fence-sitters who change their stance according to the wind. If he launches an attack from the Mingdou Mountains in the future, and these people voluntarily kneel down and open the gates to surrender the city, will he bring up old scores or not, and kill them or not?
In order to avoid such a headache, Xu Tianxi was happy to see Xu Jiawei clean up the house himself.
As for whether killing the nobles would strengthen the military, Xu Tianxi was not worried at all. The technology that was more than a thousand years behind could not be easily caught up.
And for a long time...
She was also shocked again and again by Xu Tianxi's undisguised ruthless methods and calm attitude, and was speechless for a moment.
Before going out, she thought about many things and tried to find some common topics to chat with this person, all of which were prepared to appeal to his compassion.
When she started the conversation this time, she had intended to use the refreshing of civil service as an introduction to open up the topic and let the other party see the changes in their Xing Luo Empire over the past two years. Who would have thought that this man's methods were much more radical than theirs.
During this year, my brother the emperor has pushed forward drastic reforms in the country and demanded money from the aristocratic groups, which has caused widespread resentment in the country and he has been labeled a tyrant by many people.
The nobles argued confidently, accusing the emperor of taking a step backward in history. Apart from the Spirit Hall era and the holy war of that year, no country dared to exploit its domestic nobles in this way. They were simply competing with the people for profit and destroying their own reputation!
Recently, the Xu family has caught some nobles secretly contacting the White Tiger Duke in the border areas, claiming that they are willing to serve the White Tiger Duke as their leader, re-establish the Dai family's White Tiger flag, and restore order.
Many nobles also secretly contacted Shrek City, hoping that Shrek would step in to uphold justice and stop Xu Jiawei's atrocities, based on the friendship between their ancestors and Lord Poseidon who had conquered the Spirit Hall ten thousand years ago and the ten thousand years of alliance of interests.
Someone also delivered a message to Xu Jiujiu, hoping that she could go and persuade the stubborn Xu Jiawei. Even she herself was wondering if her brother was being too radical.
Now it seems that their Xingluo Empire is still too conservative!
Xu Tianxi has even gone to the extent of confiscating property and exterminating the entire family, but they are still arguing for ten days or half a month over whether a certain marquis or earl should be killed!
She and Xu Jiawei originally thought that the one who really wanted to take action against the Sun Moon Royal Family was the Sun Moon Empire's Worship Hall faction.
They wanted to overwhelm the royal family in order to reorganize their military; letting Xu Tianxi supervise the execution was to hone the younger generation, so that this kind-hearted younger genius could hone his edge.
It now seems that even if Xu Tianxi was not the mastermind, he was definitely the core figure of the operation, and he was even more willing to be the executioner.
What has this person experienced? Why is his behavior so different from two years ago?
He was also born into the Sun and Moon royal family, so how could he kill a member of the royal family ?
"What's with that expression on your face, Princess? Do you think I'm being too cruel?"
Seeing that Xu Jiujiu was shocked by the little invention he had just picked out, Xu Tianxi coughed twice and said with a faint smile:
"I heard that His Majesty Xing Luo's reputation isn't very good these days. I think it's because he hasn't killed enough people."
"Huh?" Xu Jiujiu suddenly raised her forehead, confusion written all over her beautiful eyes.
Xu Tianxi said casually: "Tell your highness the princess, when I confiscated the first prince's mansion, the whole family of that prince's mansion scolded me; the more houses I confiscated, the more they scolded me."
"But when I raided 30 houses, those whose houses were raided dared only stand there quietly and watch me act; when I raided 40 houses, many people took the initiative to confess their crimes over the years, leaving me with no doubts about their actions."
"When I raided fifty houses, they all knew that they could not defy fate, so they got on the prison cart and went to the imperial prison. When I raided sixty houses, everyone knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and I could not hear a single voice cursing me. When I raided seventy houses, I did what I wanted, and they could not find any fault with me."
"I stood on the execution platform, upstream of the blood river, quietly watching those who deserved to die being beheaded. No one in this world dared to scold me in front of me anymore."
"If someone dares to scold you, it means they still have the courage to resist. Then it's very simple. Just kill them until no one dares to resist. It's a very simple thing."
The more Xu Jiujiu listened to the other party's theories, the more she felt that the other party was probably crazy. She might also go crazy after listening to so much.
Xu Tianxi shrugged and didn't care. This was a fantasy world where great power belonged to oneself, not the Blue Star in his previous life. What was the big deal about killing a person?
Bear the infamy? Just bring a wave of dark turmoil to the royal family and kill all their descendants. Who dares to leave a bad reputation? Who can leave a bad reputation? It's just the dust of history.
"Okay, that's all the advice I have for you. Is there anything else you need me to introduce? If not, I'll leave first. Here is the key to the reception desk and the villa where you live alone that the dean arranged for you."
Xu Tianxi knew that the other party needed some time to digest his thoughts, so he took the key from his assistant Gu Zhaoqiu and handed it to Xu Jiujiu, then waved his hand, said goodbye and left.
What Xu Jiujiu said reminded him that he had to quickly send a message to the Tianhun Empire. If it was too late, those royal fugitives might not be captured.
You have to keep your word when you are out there. If you are told that the whole family should be executed, then the whole family should be executed. You can't give up the hunt just because they were not in Mingdu at the time.
After taking the key, he stared blankly at the other person's back as he left, pursed his lips, and said to himself:
"We have to inform my brother right away..."
The other party has a political marriage relationship with him, but there was no talk of love during this meeting, it was all about political affairs, which was really pure.
But this is good, it makes everyone feel more relaxed.
After thinking for a while, she said to Shattered Star Douluo beside her:
"Your Majesty Broken star, I need to write a letter to my brother. I'm sorry to bother you to make another trip back and forth."
"Your Highness, there is no need to say these things. His Majesty asked me to come here to do this." Shattered Star Douluo shrugged, indicating that he had the cultivation of a tool man.
He has spatial abilities, and in terms of pure speed, he is among the top three in the Star Luo Empire.
…
"Brother, I am very grateful for your letter."
"I met that man again two years later. He made many powerful suggestions. After thinking about it, I thought that although they were drastic measures, they were indeed effective. "
"According to him, the assets seized from the homes of those royal princes, dukes, princesses, and princesses whose entire families were executed are equivalent to ten years of taxes collected by the Sun Moon Empire. There is a lot of room for improvement in enriching the country and strengthening the military."
"After hearing about my brother's actions this year, he was inspired. After informing me, he has already prepared a letter to inform Prince Xueyu and Princess Vina of the Tianhun Empire, asking them to unite with the Body Sect and start a massacre of the royal family and nobles in the country."
"He personally proposed that the emperor use him and the Tianhun Empire as a deterrent to inform the nobles in the country that there is no way to survive in the outside world. If they are unwilling to pay taxes to save their lives, they will be in danger of exile if they leave the country..."
"I think this move is overbearing, but it is indeed the best choice to enrich the country and strengthen the army. The empire has supported the nobles for thousands of years, and now is the time for them to sacrifice their lives and shed their blood to repay the empire's kindness..."
"I hope my royal brother takes care of himself. I will pay my last respects to you."
Late at night, in the palace of the Xing Luo Empire, Xu Jiawei, who had just returned to his bedroom to rest, was notified that Shattered Star Douluo wanted to see him. He was wearing a bathrobe and reading the letter from Xu Jiujiu word by word.
The more I watch, the more I laugh and cry.
"This Jiujiu, I asked her to talk to someone about feelings, why is she discussing how to kill someone instead?"
Xu Jiawei put down the letter and asked casually, "Your Majesty, are these things really what that person said?"
"He said it all on his own initiative. The princess only asked one question the whole time." Shattered Star Douluo answered without hesitation.
Xu Jiawei's face twitched, and he was silent for a moment, then asked: "What do you think of the Sun Moon Zhenguo Duke?"
Star Shattering Douluo thought about it and gave a heartfelt evaluation:
"He has a lot of ideas about confiscating property and exterminating clans. He is ruthless and cruel. He even made the road guide into a soul guide to facilitate him to check accounts, confiscate property and kill people."
Xu Jiawei: "…(⊙o⊙)…"
He was clearly a great saint two years ago, how come he became a great killer two years later?
But these are not the main points. The main point is that the nobles whose properties were confiscated across the continent mentioned in Xu Jiujiu's letter made Xu Jiawei feel that "they are deeply in my heart".
It turns out that I was too gentle?
"Your Majesty Shatterstar, please go to the Prime Minister's house again and invite him to discuss matters. I want to discuss with him whether it is more appropriate to increase the tax on the nobles by 80% or 90%. "
"I obey your command."
"After you call the Prime Minister, take a few hours to rest and then return to Sun Moon. Remember to record the words and deeds of the Sun Moon Zhenguo Duke and send me messages more often. There are still many things in the Sun Moon Empire that are worth learning from."
"I... obey your command."
Shattering Star Douluo's face twitched, and he walked away with a swaying step.
For some reason, he felt that those nobles would have a good life in the future.
…
A few days later, within the territory of the Tianhun Empire, on the peak of the Body Sect.
Princess Vina of the Tianhun Empire brought Muxue, followed by Prince Xueyu, to find the young master of the Body Sect, Long Aotian.
"Aotian, we received a message from a friend yesterday and reported it to the emperor. The emperor was quite interested in this matter and wanted to ask for your opinion."
Vina handed the handwritten and revised version of Xu Tianxi's letter to Long Aotian, with a look of joy on her cheeks.
Long Aotian took the letter and read it, and couldn't quite understand the significance of confiscating the property of the nobles.
So he waved his hand and led the three people to find Du Bu Si.
"I don't understand these things. You guys should talk to the teacher. I still have practice to do."
After reaching the top of Du Bu Si's mountain, Long Aotian said hello to Du Bu Si and the three others, and returned to the training ground to practice.
Prince Xueyu did not expect that the future prince consort, who devoted all his time to cultivation, could understand the significance of confiscating property to enrich the country. He just explained it to Du Bu Si and invited the Body Sect to help confiscate the property of the nobles.
The confiscated property was divided into two parts, 70% went to the national treasury and 30% went to the Body Sect clan.
Du Bu Si listened with a confused look on his face as Prince Xueyu talked about a bunch of big principles like "confiscating the property of nobles can enhance ruling power", "it can reduce the burden on the country and increase tax revenue", "it can enrich the country and strengthen the army and fight against the Sun and Moon Empire".
When he heard that there would be a huge amount of benefits, he agreed very happily.
"Okay! Don't worry! With our main sect here, those nobles won't be able to escape even if they flee to Shrek City!"
Du Bu Si laughed heartily, and then asked, "By the way, which capable minister came up with this good idea? The more the better!"
Prince Xueyu looked strange for a moment, and said perfunctorily: "He is a hermit with a special identity."
Xu Tianxi's suggestion is very good. In the future, we can send more spies to investigate their words and deeds. Maybe we can learn some useful policies from the Sun and Moon Empire.
In short, from now on, the unlimited escape contest for the nobles of the three empires has officially begun, and it depends on who runs faster.
"Oh, then I won't ask."
Du Bu Si didn't care, and then he laughed and said, "I have good news for you. We have recently made preparations to do something big!"
