Peerless Tang Sect's Shepherd Star Silver Dragon

Chapter 324 Xu Jiawei: Save some face for me, the emperor
  "It really makes me sigh. Do you actually want to stand up for those ordinary people? Do you know what you are doing? This is the way to make the world an enemy." Xu Jiawei's voice was low, and his voice echoed in the palace.

"The world is the enemy? Your Majesty is joking. I have never had such an idea." Yinglong shook his head, "Your Majesty should know that I am also a member of the soul masters. How can I be the enemy of all soul masters? I just want to give They are just a channel for advancement.”

Basic skills, Xu Jiawei suddenly realized that this is the case, no wonder such a skill was born.

"It's just a rising channel, then your goal has been achieved." Xu Jiawei sat on the throne, with his hands crossed and resting on his chin.

"Achieve it? Did your Majesty misunderstand something? I hate nobility more than soul masters, especially hereditary nobility. How many elites can there be under the hereditary system?" Ying Long shrugged, so he proposed military aristocracy and civilian politics .

Xu Jiawei's mouth twitched: "You are shaking the foundation of the empire."

"Foundation? Your Majesty is joking. I said these noble soul masters were never the foundation. They are just vampires attached to this empire and are the worms of the country." Yinglong emphasized his point of view again.

The disgust was visible to the naked eye, and Xu Jiawei had a headache. It was so obvious that he was worried that Ying Long would start a fight with the nobles. Moreover, Xu Jiawei's eyes were dark, and the person in front of him did not hide his emotions at all. What was the reason?

"And is there really a so-called promotion channel? In the eyes of those nobles, civilian soul masters are just a bunch of useful cannon fodder!" Ying Long's words were spicy, "Also, even though His Majesty said that titled Douluo can become a member of the Enshrinement Hall. , but it’s actually just a decoration and has no real power at all.”

Xu Jiawei frowned: "Governing a country requires more than just force. The army needs military tactics and strategies, and the ruling party also needs sufficient knowledge."

"Then why do they have no knowledge? Isn't it because knowledge is in the hands of nobles?" The disgust on Yinglong's face could not be concealed. This was also what he hated most, the monopoly of knowledge. It is difficult for soul masters to stop the emergence of civilian soul masters due to the independent awakening of their martial souls, but with a monopoly of knowledge, the nobles can openly and honestly prevent the mud-legged people from grabbing power from themselves.

"Isn't marriage the method they are best at? Internally digesting the rising civilian soul masters, the rest will naturally be nobles. They and their descendants will always occupy the most resources and the greatest power."

Xu Jiawei smiled bitterly, was it appropriate to slap him in the face like this? The Xu family was also a member of the nobility.

"Your Majesty, do you think there is something wrong with my thinking when I tell you these things?" Ying Long saw the embarrassment on Xu Jiawei's face.

"Let me ask your Majesty, do you think we can face the Sun and Moon Empire by maintaining the status quo and relying on those nobles?" Yinglong sighed in his heart. He had to say that reform is only possible in this situation where countries are fighting, and if they are strong, they will become stronger, and if they are not strong, they will perish. There is maximum room for implementation.

"I have already ordered people to research soul guidance devices."

Ying Long sneered: "Your Majesty, are you deceiving yourself? Let's not mention how long it will take for the soul guide to catch up with the Sun and Moon Empire. Even if the technology of the soul guide catches up with the sun and moon, so what? Two people with the same soul skills and the same soul Your majesty, the soul masters with the same spirit level, wouldn’t think that their combat power is the same!”

"National power never refers to a single aspect, but to all aspects. Is there no reason why the Sun and Moon Empire can defeat the Three Kingdoms?"

"To be honest, Xingluo has always remained the same, stuck in its ways. The best outcome is to run away in a hurry and establish a country overseas. The worst is to destroy the country."

It's the truth, but it's a slap in the face! Xu Jiawei felt his forehead twitching, and he wanted to beat the man in front of him.

"So what method do you have?" Xu Jiawei decided to tolerate him for a while. There was no practical method. He would let the other party know what the consequences would be if he slapped an emperor in the face.

"Of course. What I gave to Your Majesty last time was an idea. Your Majesty should be worried about how to translate it into practical measures recently, right! And how to implement reforms?" Xu Jiawei nodded heavily. This is indeed what he has been worrying about recently. He The only successful thing was to popularize the basic skills. As for the nine-year compulsory education, he encountered huge resistance, so he actually planned to go to Shrek Academy again to ask Si Muqing.

"Taxes and armies, as well as currency, this is your Majesty's opportunity to intervene."

"In order to deal with the Empire of the Sun and Moon, a new type of army must be formed. In order to better raise military expenditures, the tax and currency systems must be reformed. Naturally, soldiers and money can be obtained through the mobilization of personnel."

Xu Jiawei's eyes lit up. This was indeed a way to bypass the control of the nobles and gain more power, and it was so fair that no noble could give a reason. Of course, there would be a wave of competition for the power of the legion later. This is It depends on his methods.

Ying Long and Xu Jiawei began to discuss how to reduce the power of the aristocracy and centralize power.

The conversation lasted until the evening.

Xu Jiawei kindly stayed with him and had a sumptuous dinner.

After dinner, Ying Long and Wang Qiu'er left the Xingluo Palace. By the way, Xu Jiawei also presented a mansion to them, which was the mansion of a former prince.

Wang Qiuer frowned and felt a little uneasy: "Xing Luo is too kind to you!"

"This is a routine operation. People with ability and talent can get preferential treatment everywhere." Ying Long shook his head and said very narcissistically. As for Xu Jiawei, he was not worried. First of all, he did not sense any malice. Secondly, In the original work, people who judge the situation and can relinquish the throne decisively are worthy of his trust. On the contrary, people like Xu Tianran are naturally disgusting. He is aiming at Shang Yang, but he does not really want to end up like Shang Yang.

"I hope your trust will not be wrong." Wang Qiuer nodded, maintaining a certain degree of trust in Ying Long's words.

"Ye Yun, what do you think?" Wang Qiuer took the initiative to raise the topic of Ye Yun.

"What do you think? Jun'er is our life-and-death partner!"

Ying Long's words undoubtedly stopped Wang Qiu'er from exploring the topic. He could handle the matter of Yeyun by himself, and there was no need to involve Wang Qiu'er.

"I want to bring Yejun over to live with me. Don't you feel too lonely in such a big house with just the two of us?" Wang Qiuer said seemingly unintentionally, with a hint of loneliness on her face.

"I also want a best friend to whisper to." Wang Qiuer's eyes showed a hint of pleading. She held Ying Long's wrist with her palm and shook her upper body gently.

Yinglong said helplessly: "Okay! As long as you can persuade Jun'er, I have no problem."

A smile bloomed on Wang Qiuer's lips, she kissed Ying Long's side face gently, turned her head and winked her left eye playfully, her plan was successful.

Satisfied, Ying Long received a kiss from Wang Qiu'er, and then smoothly pulled Ye Yun to his side. Careful observation of Ye Yun's secrets would surely reveal clues.
