Grow from a fairy seed

Chapter 166: The first census of the Great Ling Dynasty cannot solve the debts, nor can it solve the debtors?
When they arrived at Cuiping Mountain, Ji Qiu gave 120 low-grade magical artifacts to Li Li.

Li Li informed this matter.

In the Shouzhuo Sect, there were waves of cheering young voices.

Ji Qiu smiled, returned to Shanyu's secret realm, and continued to retreat.

Three days passed.

Wen Chunfeng returned to Shouzhuzong, called Ji Qiu out, and chatted about the court affairs.

"The head of the Tang family took the initiative to plead guilty to Emperor Daling. He said he was holding his breath and wanted to scare you."

"Your Majesty has obtained a lot of things for you, please see if you can use them."

Wen Chunfeng took out a storage bag.

Ji Qiu's spiritual consciousness penetrated into it, and his face showed a hint of joy.

Refining materials!

And there are top-grade materials such as dragon blood crystal and universe stone for refining flying swords!
Ji Qiu can use these materials to try to imitate the Qinglian Sword!

At the worst, it should be possible to refine an earth-grade flying sword that is stronger than the Daqiao Flying Sword!

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Wen Chunfeng waved his hand: "You need these, say hello when you're done."

"There is still more in the treasury. Your Majesty can allocate more for you."

"The name is easy to find. The Guards Division is currently expanding. In order to strengthen the Guards Division's force, a large number of resources can be mobilized."

Ji Qiu's expression was serious: "That's enough."

"The financial resources of the national treasury should be used for good purposes, and I will not cause any trouble to His Majesty."

Wen Chunfeng squinted his eyes and smiled, feeling very good.

He said: "I'll talk about this later, let me tell you about the trend of the family first."

"By the way, I have to tell you some truth first."

"The Qin family and the Su family are families that His Majesty trusts and stand with His Majesty."

"The other ten families have their own thoughts."

……

Ji Qiu listened carefully for three hours and probably had an idea in his mind.

The investigation of the Lingzhou river destruction case made the other nine sects somewhat wary.

According to Ji Qiu's plan, Wenren said in public after a long absence: "The Great Ling Dynasty cannot live without the plutocrats."

The arrogant and extremely confident family heads were indeed comforted.

People always like to believe what they want to believe.

The one who has the closest contact with the Tang family is the Haizhou Song family.

The materials transported from the Dabo River are traded at the ports of Haizhou.

The two families have a very close relationship.

The Ling family in Yongzhou has a good relationship with the Song family. The Song family has established connections and has some contacts with the Tang family.

These three sects had the greatest response to this investigation.

They have strengthened fire prevention measures in the docket.

And they have stated many times in court that they will appoint a general envoy to the Guards Department.

They wanted to squeeze Ji Qiu out.

Moreover, the Song family suggested that Ji Qiu should go to court according to the etiquette system and receive rewards.

In fact, he wanted Ji Qiu to come out, meet with the major aristocratic families, and bring Ji Qiu to the front.

These proposals were all blocked by Emperor Daling.

In Wen Chunfeng's words, Emperor Daling was full of majesty, and he dispelled the thoughts of these powerful people with just one sentence.

The actual situation is that people who hear someone after a long absence look down at their hands and pretend that they cannot hear.

Whenever Song Shuqi, the head of the Song family, asked Ji Qiu to go to court, he would look at his fingers when he heard that someone had not been with him for a long time.

No one could do anything about Emperor Daling who was pretending to be stupid, so the matter ended up being settled.

Several other gates and valves have made little movement for the time being.

However, they are also shrinking their power and are guarding against the Imperial Guard Division.

Wen Chunfeng's eyes were somewhat cold: "The intention of these powerful families to gain power is no longer hidden."

Ji Qiu said: "None of this is important."

"Your Majesty's orders are legal authority for mortals and ordinary monks."

"It will not be difficult for the Guards Division to gather enough strength to replace them."

Wen Chunfeng's eyes were bright: "Then tell me, what is the most appropriate thing for Your Majesty to do now?"

Ji Qiu looked strange and said, "Changlezhou needs to be attacked first."

"The next thing is the four coastal states. We need to investigate as soon as possible and at least provide some deterrent."

"At the same time, it would be best to send some monks to go overseas to check the situation. I always feel something is not good."

Now the map of the Great Ling Dynasty is bright in the eyes of evil cultivators.

But Daling Chao couldn't see anything on the overseas map.

The gap in field of view is a huge hidden danger.

Wen Chunfeng's face was solemn: "That's right."

"However, monks who go to sea are always caught and killed. What should we do?"

Ji Qiu said: "Of course you can't send monks there directly, it's best to send mortals."

"Just let the mortals pass by in the name of doing business and let them do business normally."

"Businessmen know the local connections and customs best. Just wait until they return to Daling Dynasty and ask them again."

"The business of the merchants of the Great Ling Dynasty is getting bigger and bigger. It will be much safer if they arrange for the monks to follow them."

Wen Chunfeng clapped his hands and said, "Okay! Just do as you say!"

"Wait a minute, I'll report this to Your Majesty first!"

talking.

Wen Chunfeng disappeared.

Wenren opened his eyes after a long absence, called Qin Haishou and Su Xingfang, and relayed Ji Qiu's method calmly.

Su Xingfang was overjoyed: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Qin Haishou frowned: "Your Majesty really didn't come up with this, right?"

thump.

Su Xingfang stood out of the palace gate and went to arrange the matter.

Qin Haishou knelt out of the palace door and was responsible for assisting Su Xingfang.

……

Wen Chunfeng quickly returned to Ji Qiu: "Your Majesty has made arrangements."

Ji Qiu reminded: "Don't talk too much to these mortals, just choose people who are smart and willing to go."

"The evil cultivators are cruel in their methods. Although merchants who go overseas to do business are relatively safe, they must be careful."

Wen Chunfeng nodded: "The Su Family Master and the Qin Family Master both know this."

"Your Majesty asked me to ask, is there any way to annihilate a group of evil cultivators?"

Ji Qiu thought for a while and said, "It really does."

"tell me the story!"

Ji Qiu said: "We will conduct a census of the Daling Dynasty and issue new identity certificates."

Wen Chunfeng looked puzzled: "Population... census? Survey all the population?"

Ji Qiu nodded: "That's right."

Wen Chunfeng was a little confused: "What does this mean? Is it different from household registration?"

Ji Qiu shook his head: "Of course it's different."

"Household registration is managed by the states, which then provide backup to the imperial court. The imperial court has no direct control over the population."

"There are many opportunities for fraud, and there are also many refugees who are unable to naturalize for various reasons."

At this point, Ji Qiu paused and gave the boss time to think and let him figure it out.

Wen Chunfeng thought for a while and said, "Go on."

Well, boss, he doesn’t want to waste his brain.

Ji Qiu continued: "The imperial court can give everyone a chance to be naturalized. The only requirement is to pass the spiritual power check."

"In this way, we can screen out whether those without identity are evil cultivators or refugees who cannot be naturalized."

"We only need to calculate how many people there are in an area, and then check the naturalized population, and we can roughly deduce how many evil cultivators there are in this area."

Divination must have specific clues and specific deduction demands.

The clearer the results of the divination are, the more accurate the results will be.

Wen Ren's long-awaited deduction skills are extremely deep, and he cannot deduce out of thin air how many evil cultivators there are in a place.

But Ji Qiu changed his mind.There is no need to deduce how many evil cultivators there are, just deduce how many people there are in a certain place.

Without the process of identifying one's identity, this deduction is very simple for a person who has been separated for a long time.

Those who are naturalized are normal people, regardless of whether they are refugees or not, and whether they have violated the Daling Dynasty's regulations on refugees.

Anyway, as long as you are naturalized, you will definitely not be an evil cultivator for a period of time.

Those who are unwilling to naturalize under such circumstances are either evil cultivators or have committed crimes.

Just kill it.

Wen Chunfeng laughed: "Clever! This method is so clever!"

"How on earth do you have such a brain? Why do you always have such easy-to-use methods?"

Evil cultivators are difficult to catch, not only because they hide deeply, but the key is that they often hide among ordinary cultivators.

Distinguishing is difficult.

Ji Qiu's method not only eliminated the identification process, but also determined the relatively clear number of evil cultivators!

Wen Ren couldn't hold back his admiration after a long absence and applauded again and again!

Ji Qiu smiled and said nothing.

This is actually a result of different perspectives and differences in thinking.

From the Daling Dynasty to the emperor and down to the three divisions, everyone felt that household registration was an ancestral system and could not be changed, and there was no need to do so.

No one thought about starting with household registration.

Ji Qiu has no such restrictions.

Wen Chunfeng stood up: "I will go and report to His Majesty."

Ji Qiu grabbed Wen Chunfeng and said, "Senior, don't worry, there are still some details you need to pay attention to."

Wen Chunfeng suppressed his excitement and sat down: "You tell me."

Ji Qiu said: "When investigating, you must proceed in one direction."

"It doesn't matter from north to south, or from south to north, it's a trend of outflanking."

Wen Chunfeng thought for a moment, and a flash of understanding flashed in his eyes: "Because the evil cultivator will run away?"

Ji Qiu praised: "Senior is smart."

Wen Chunfeng smiled and narrowed his eyes.

Ji Qiu continued: "We consciously outflanked them, and finally we were able to block the evil cultivators in one state and kill them."

"Also, it is necessary to develop an identity certificate that cannot be copied."

"Take advantage of the opportunity of the Qing Dynasty to suppress evil cultivators and bring the household registration rights into the imperial court."

"The Daomeng's formation method seems to be quite easy to use."

Wen Chunfeng waved his hand with some disdain: "The imperial court has better ones!"

"It's just that... so many mortals have to issue identification certificates, and the resources consumed will be astronomical."

500 years ago, people would not think about how much resources would be spent after a long absence.

Not enough spirit stones?

He just needs to cut a piece off the spiritual vein.

Unfortunately not now.

Down and out, family.

He also had to consider the issue of cost.

Ji Qiu suggested: "This matter can be done together with all the clans."

"Eradication of evil cultivators is a major event, and they should provide some resources both emotionally and rationally."

"If that doesn't work, the identity jade token can be recycled."

Wen Chunfeng was stunned for a moment: "Recycle?"

Ji Qiu nodded: "Spend more manpower to seal the state boundaries and kill evil cultivators."

"After cleaning up one state, they take away all the identification documents and use them in the next state."

"Recycling will affect the progress of the Great Spirit Dynasty's centralization of power, but if you really don't have the resources, you can only do this."

After killing the evil cultivator, and then go back to reissue the identity jade tokens, you will encounter resistance and suspicion from the clan.

But this trouble can be avoided by issuing identity jade tags during the crackdown.

Wen Chunfeng was a little confused: "This... is really difficult to choose."

"It's hard to live without money."

"Is there any cheaper way?"

Ji Qiu did know some anti-counterfeiting techniques, but without a computer, verification of counterfeiting would still have to rely on spiritual power and formations.

The cost is probably not much lower than the status jade token.

Ji Qiu suggested: "Maybe we can wait until the war in Changlezhou is over, grab enough resources, and then conduct an investigation."

Wen Chunfeng touched his chin and said, "It's too long to wait. Your Majesty doesn't want the evil cultivator to be arrogant for so long."

"Is it possible for the clan to release these resources?"

"You think of a way!"

Ji Qiu couldn't laugh or cry.

He thought about it carefully and whispered: "Actually, it's not impossible."

Wen Chunfeng's eyes lit up and he asked, "Is this okay?"

Ji Qiu said: "In the name of the imperial court, some natural resources and treasures were pledged to the clansmen in exchange for resources."

"The court just pays the interest."

Wen Chunfeng frowned: "How can I lose the face of my court by borrowing money from a wealthy family?"

Ji Qiu smiled: "You don't have to ask His Majesty to come forward in person, just find a trusted aide to take charge."

"This matter is kept secret. Whoever spreads the news will die."

Wen Chunfeng's face looked better.

This seems to be OK.

After a while.

Wen Chunfeng asked in a low voice: "What if we can't get enough of these resources?"

Ji Qiu smiled: "If you can't pay it back, why don't you pay it back?"

"Then...didn't the clan take the treasures from the treasury?"

"That's a bad word."

"Oh? Come on, what's wrong?"

Ji Qiu smiled: "If you can't solve the debt, can you still not solve the debtor?"

If the family is eliminated, won’t the debt also disappear?
Wen Chunfeng's eyes widened, and after a while, he suddenly laughed: "It makes sense!"

"But you have to tell me a time. How long will it take to eliminate the clan valve?"

Ji Qiu cupped his hands and said, "This is something I can't explain clearly."

Wen Chunfeng was good at tempting: "Your Majesty can mobilize all the resources of the Qin and Su families, as well as the Guards Department and the three departments of the Imperial City."

"I'll give you all these things. How long do you think it will take to eliminate the clan?"

Ji Qiu instinctively wanted to refuse.

But as he spoke, he remembered the way Tang Tianren looked at the victims like pigs and dogs.

Think for a moment.

Ji Qiu said seriously: "It's safer, probably within 20 years."

This 20 years is when Ji Qiu estimates that he can enter the Mahayana stage.

Wen Chunfeng nodded: "How about I write that I will pay it off within 50 years?"

Ji Qiu considered it carefully for a moment and nodded: "Okay."

Wen Chunfeng patted Ji Qiu's shoulder: "His Majesty asked me to ask you if you are really interested in becoming the general envoy of the Guards Department."

"The conditions are open at will."

Ji Qiu thought for a while and said: "It's okay to take it, but after settling the family affairs, please allow me to step down from my post."

Wen Chunfeng thought for a moment and said uncertainly: "I will try my best to tell His Majesty."

Ji Qiu bowed his hands and said, "Thank you, senior."

In fact, Ji Qiu didn't care much about Emperor Daling's answer.

As long as Emperor Daling can't defeat him by then, then it's not up to him whether he wants to do it or not?
Wen Chunfeng looked at Ji Qiu and asked, "Tell me, what do you want?"

Ji Qiu thought for a moment and said, "I need some materials to refine the flying sword."

"can."

"I also want some spiritual soil to grow some spiritual grass I need."

Wen Chunfeng asked with a half-smile: "Should I plant your spiritual grass, or plant that strange crop that can make your strength increase rapidly?"
