Everything starts from Menghualu

Chapter 581 Under Prosperity
After hearing this, Tianjun did not say anything else, but left directly. They both understood in their hearts that from then on, there would be no room for improvement in their relationship.

Baijie seemed fine and returned to his previous position. Tianjun also came back naturally. Everything seemed so normal, as if nothing had happened.

After three full hours, the coronation ceremony was finally completed. The guests from all sides naturally left one after another, although some stayed behind.

However, there were not many such people. Among them, those from the Immortal Realm left the fastest. As soon as the ceremony was over, the Heavenly Emperor left directly.

As for his departure, both Shen Yue and Shen Li thought it was normal.

"What did you say? You said that the Lord of Heaven warned you? When did it happen? How come I don't know anything about it? Why didn't you tell me?" Shen Li said in surprise.

"What? Is there anything to say? Isn't this a normal reaction? Besides, you didn't have time to listen to me at that time?" Bai Jie said directly
Shen Li was silent for a while after hearing this. Yes, she didn't have time to listen at that time.

"Okay, Madam, today is your first day on the throne. Don't forget that you still have to attend court tomorrow. If you don't sleep now, you won't have a chance." Bai Jie said.
After hearing this, Shen Li naturally hurried to bed, but how could Baijie be so kind as to remind her to rest? All this was naturally premeditated.

After all, my wife is no longer a prince, but a spiritual master. Isn't this a sense of accomplishment? So naturally, I have to take action.

When Shen Li realized that she had been fooled, it was too late and she could only accept it passively.

On the second day, Shen Li got up very reluctantly and attended a court meeting. In order to avenge Baijie's deception last night, she also pulled Baijie up and went together.

The expected difficulties did not occur, and everything was just as Baijie had said before. Everyone in the court, both civil and military officials, was very obedient and there were no worries.

So it was over very quickly. After returning to the palace, Shen Li asked in confusion, "My husband, you are really amazing. How come they really didn't react at all like they said?"

Madam, didn’t I tell you before? In fact, all the fights are because of insufficient benefits, so they fight each other, the purpose is to be greedy and take more.

"But now, there are a lot of benefits waiting for them to make, who has the heart to fight among themselves? Every time they delay for an hour, the other party will have one more hour to make money."

"They are not stupid. Since they can still have food without fighting, why do they still fight?" Bai Jie said
"I didn't quite understand it before, but now I understand. You are really amazing." Shen Li said
"Madam, this is a very simple truth. Don't think you can sit back and relax. After all, no matter how much benefit you get, it will eventually be eaten up."

"When that time comes, you will need to step forward. Remember, don't always favor one side, even if you are from the military."

"Civil servants naturally have their uses, we cannot just ignore them." Bai Jie said
"Well, I understand, husband. By the way, husband, what can I do now? I can't be idle every day, right?" Shen Li asked back.
"Of course not. Although there is nothing wrong in the court, it doesn't mean that you have nothing, right? The people of the spirit world, although they all knew you, Madam, at that time, you had another identity."

"What you need to do now is to take advantage of this time to go around more, let the people know your current identity, and let them support you as always." Bai Jie Dao
After hearing this, Shen Li nodded slowly. Time soon came to the next day, and Shen Li really started visiting one city after another.

When the civil and military officials in the court heard the news, they were naturally surprised and a little worried. After all, they had heard about the current situation in the lower realms. It was fine before, because the spiritual world was always in a precarious state, so the people and officials were very united.

But since the recovery of lost territory, some people's mentality has changed. The people want to live and work in peace and contentment, while those officials naturally began to think of ways to make money.

After all, he had suffered for so many years before. Now that he finally had a chance, he should make a fortune. Therefore, Shen Li's visit this time shook the entire officialdom.

Some ministers in the court naturally received a lot of benefits from their subordinates, so they passed the message to their subordinates, asking them to restrain themselves and not be discovered by Shen Li.

It was useless. After all, who asked Shen Li to go with Bai Lian? As long as Bai Jie took a glance at any account, he would know whether it was true or false.

At first, Shen Li went crazy with killing. As long as she found someone committing corruption, she would kill him. Later, she found that there were too many people and she couldn't kill them all. Besides, no one would be willing to work if she killed them all.

So he thought of a way: if the amount of embezzlement was above the horizontal line, as long as the stolen money was returned, the past would be forgiven. However, Shen Li still couldn't make up his mind about how much this number should be.

In the end, Baijie gave her a reminder: look at the taxes. The higher the tax in a city, the higher the bottom line of that city.

Although this method has problems at first glance, it does solve a lot of problems.

After all, as long as there are rules, it is better than having no rules. Of course, this creates a new problem, that is, the official positions in the new city are becoming more and more valuable.

There was no way. The taxes in the old city were fixed. Even if he levied heavy taxes, it could not catch up with the annual tax revenue of the new city.

Faced with this problem, Shen Li actually wanted to intervene at first, but was later persuaded by Baijie.

That night, Shen Li said, "Husband, why, why don't you let me take care of it?"

"Madam, it's not that I don't allow you to manage them, but you simply can't manage them. Do you think you can control them in any way? Will it be useful if you manage them?"

"Madam, because civil officials didn't have to go to the battlefield before, they all became members of aristocratic families. They almost occupy all positions in the officialdom. What can you do?"

"If you replace someone, they will just find someone else to take his place. No matter who issues the certificate, they are their own people. It has no impact on them at all."

"But now, it doesn't matter anymore. Everyone knows that the new city is good, so they are naturally willing to be officials in the new city."

"Why don't you double the number of officials in the new city and let two people do the work of one person. This way, the old city will inevitably be short of people, and you can replace them with your own people?" Bai Jie said
