Become the Emperor of Man by starting from the Qiyun entry

Chapter 534: Everything for War, Chu Wujiang's Project Bidding and Expectation Management (7.2k)

What is the most important skill for a general?
make money.

Yue Fei wanted to sell alcohol to raise money for the army and to provide rewards.

Qi Jiguang wanted to give the Qi Family Army the highest amount of military pay to maintain its combat effectiveness.

The Jingyuan Rebellion told emperors that if their soldiers were not well fed, they would resort to cannibalism.

The importance of soldiers in the martial arts world has decreased, but that doesn't mean the generals don't have to pay them. On the contrary, they have to pay more silver.

The soldiers need meat, elixirs, secret manuals, pensions, and so on.

Because the battle was at the soul level and had the power to burn mountains and boil seas, the death rate of the soldiers was extremely high.

The last time Chu Wujiang commanded the Chu army to fight against the mermaids, just one day of fighting resulted in massive losses and tens of thousands of deaths.

The cost of blood tax makes the soldiers make higher demands. Otherwise, who would be willing to fight under the pressure of the soul-level?

Once the soldiers collapse, the military spirit will also collapse.

Chu Wujiang didn't understand until this moment why Nangong Wang's first sword, the Dragon Wing Sword, was full of wealth. (Note: Chapter 20)
Because military generals also have to be the God of Wealth.

In order to conquer the evil god Wang Ting, Emperor Wu finally invented the "Counting and Reporting Silk", which made the whole country desolate.

The good thing was that he did get a lot of money to pay for the war.

As for Emperor Hao, he established tomb keepers and dug up most of the tombs of previous dynasties in Mangshan to pay his soldiers.

Money from the dead is always better than money from the living.

Chu Wujiang is different from the above two people. He proposed a pioneering national debt system.

Duke Zhenguo and Prime Minister Fang couldn't help but sigh with emotion after hearing this.

He who is truly capable is able to do anything.

Although the subsequent debt repayment would be troublesome, the two soon realized the benefits of this financial mobilization model.

Sects and families all over the world are willing to subscribe to national bonds for the sake of the imperial court.

Chu Wujiang is not afraid of the imperial court becoming stronger. He has the fortune of [Eternal Prosperity of Humanity]. If he does more things that benefit the human race, he will be rewarded.

As long as 80% to 90% of the 10 billion taels of bonds can be redeemed, it will be enough to support the war.

An excited look appeared on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's face, and his mind was full of thoughts.

But Chu Wujiang quickly persuaded:
"Your Highness, the court must have laws and regulations. When issuing national debt, the interest must be paid and the principal and interest must be repaid."

“Don’t abuse it.”

"Otherwise there won't be a next time."

"The court needs to pay attention to the long-term, and someone needs to manage all of this."

You must not try to play with the gold yuan coupons or the treasure notes.

Chu Wujiang takes good care of his reputation.

He proposed the national debt system in order to boost the court's war mobilization capabilities, not to allow the court to make money for free.

The fundamental reason why Britain established a national debt system and was able to implement it well and raise funds from the nobility was that it was an aristocratic democracy and could not forcibly deprive the nobility of their property.

The Tianming Dynasty was highly centralized, but it was also populated by nobles and aristocratic families, which was closer to the situation in the Han Dynasty.

In this case, the national debt system can provide a certain degree of protection.

For example, if the Chu family subscribed to 100 million taels of silver worth of national debt, would His Royal Highness the Crown Prince dare to go back on his word?

As expected, when the prince heard the warning, he immediately came to his senses and a look of regret appeared on his face.

Since we have 10 billion taels, can we add another zero and sell it for 100 billion taels?

As for paying back the money?

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince borrowed money and never intended to pay it back.

The Tao family gave money to the Prince's Mansion, which was giving him an opportunity to advance.

If we could gather so much silver, wouldn't we be able to train ten field armies? Then, relying on the military force, we could overwhelm the King of Qin.

The King of Qin has crushed us, do we still need to pay back the money?

It’s a pity that the dream was extinguished by Chu Wujiang as soon as it appeared.

The prince had no choice but to cough and say:

"Mr. Chu is right. The court is reasonable."

"Of course, the government bonds issued must be repaid."

Fang Xiang then stood up and said:
"Your Highness, I have a few things to ask the Marquis of Guanjun."

Although Chu Wujiang proposed the national debt strategy and received the full support of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Duke of Zhenguo and others had no objection.

However, its method of borrowing money from the world still aroused considerable doubts. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince nodded and said:
"Please speak, Prime Minister Fang."

Fang Yuan looked at Chu Wujiang and said in a deep voice:
"Guanjun Hou has a brilliant idea. The national debt absorbs the money from all over the world. The expenses of the court seem to be much more comfortable all of a sudden, but there are two problems."

"First, the court purchased a large amount of military supplies at once. The original one field army became two. The rapid absorption of such a large amount of military supplies will easily cause the price of all goods to rise, and the price of grain will rise."

"Secondly, the court has a hard time spending money. Once the war starts and the silver is all gone, how can the interest be repaid?"

"If we have to pay off old debts with new ones, I'm afraid the court will be in a dilemma when it comes to paying the interest every year in the future."

"I wonder what the Champion Marquis thinks?"

Tao Jincheng, the Minister of Revenue, shouted:
"What Fang Xiang said is very true!"

"This 10 billion is too much, it's better to have less."

To be fair, the court issued treasury bonds with an annual interest rate of 8%, which was an absolutely low interest rate in the Tianming Dynasty.

However, the scale of 10 billion was completely beyond Tao Jincheng's ability to bear.

The annual fiscal revenue of the Tianming Dynasty fluctuated around 40 billion taels.

It would be too painful to repay 8 million taels of silver as interest every year.

The Minister of Industry also echoed:
"Your Highness!"

"The construction of the Hero Battalion has already consumed most of the Ministry of Industry's inventory. If we want to build two field armies at the same time, armed with more than 100 million combat soldiers and 500 million auxiliary soldiers, I'm afraid we won't be able to do it."

The Minister of Revenue and the Minister of Works complained together.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not blame them, it was indeed difficult.

What the martial arts world needs is elite soldiers, which is completely different from Chu Wujiang's previous life. There is no such thing as chopping wood for weapons or raising a pole as a flag.

Instead, the army must be built with the samurai class as the core.

Their weapons and armor are [Hundreds of Refinements], [Spiritual Weapons] or even [Treasure Weapons]. The imperial treasury normally maintains an arsenal of military equipment of about 200,000 in case of emergency.

But in the early spring of next year, building a million-level military equipment will be enough to give people a headache, even without considering the issue of standardization.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince couldn't help but look at Chu Wujiang.

"Mr. Chu, do you have any advice?"

He hoped that Chu Wujiang could use magic again to solve these headaches, otherwise no matter how much money was spent, it would only cause a serious surge in prices.

Chu Wujiang pondered and said:

"Don't worry, Your Highness. These questions can be answered one by one."

"There are a large number of weapon shops in various sects, families and gangs. These weapon shops can share the burden and assist in manufacturing standard weapons."

"The Ministry of Industry can make the project public and call for bids..."

In the past, when the imperial court manufactured weapons, the Ministry of Works employed its own people or purchased them directly on the market. Chu Wujiang changed the method and had the imperial court announce the orders, and then weapon shops across the country took over the orders.

Chu Wujiang added:

"The court can first investigate each company's largest production capacity, and then allocate orders based on the situation."

“Every quote must be reported and made public.”

"Let the court review the qualifications and grant the order."

"Finally, the army will come to inspect and accept the project, and then the final payment will be made."

"There are as many weapon shops as you want in the whole world. The imperial court can take this opportunity to screen and eliminate a group and then select another group."

Open bidding, collective negotiation, and collective price-cutting will attract craftsmen from all over the world.

Chu Wujiang would not accept the premium. Even if it delayed the Northern Expedition, he would not let the weapon shops in various places make more money from him.

The imperial court is going to place an order for several million copies and will be the only party A.

There are plenty of people fighting for these fat pieces of meat, and Chu Wujiang will not allow anyone to take advantage of the opportunity to make more money.

Of course, even in an open bidding, there are plenty of corrupt practices.

What Chu Wujiang has to do is to inspect the goods.

If anyone dares to provide the army with defective weapons, Chu Wujiang will come and confiscate their property.

His Royal Highness's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately shouted:

"good idea!"

"From now on, the Ministry of Industry's purchases and the use of military equipment will be handled in this way!"

"I will check all the accounts and make sure not to spend even a tael of silver more than necessary."

"This money is the blood and sweat of the people."

The expression of the Minister of Works Yu Liang suddenly turned ugly.

Even though he was complaining just now, he had already figured it out in his mind that the one million pieces of armaments would be enough for him to eat up in one go.

Unexpectedly, Chu Wujiang directly used his ultimate move and brought out all means such as open bidding and mutual competition.

Yu Shangshu could only bite the bullet and object:
"What the Champion said makes sense."

"But the field army's equipment is a military secret and cannot be leaked!"

The lower the level of openness, the higher the level of corruption.

The military, especially when it comes to secret purchases, is often a high-incidence area for corruption.

The Pentagon sells you a bag of screw bushings for $90,000, and that's a reasonable price.

Chu Wujiang smiled and said:

"Bao Bing and other things below that are not considered secrets."

"Even if the evil king's court knows about it, it won't matter."

"The cost savings will be more important than this small leak of confidential information."

"I think Minister Yu can tell the difference."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked at the Minister of Works and said coldly:

"If you need Marquis Guanjun to give you advice on everything, I don't know what the point of being the Minister of Industry is."

Yu Shangshu's face turned pale, and he quickly explained:
"I am incompetent!"

The Minister of Works can be said to be the weakest of the six ministers. He is mainly responsible for various engineering construction and weapons research and development.

Since they are in charge of armaments, the benefits are not bad, but it is a bit hard.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince nodded and said:
"I know that many people like money. Even before the 10 billion yuan in national debt is written down on paper, some people want to get a piece of the pie."

"I will keep an eye on all of this. If the field army is not built, I will be a sinner of the human race."

"No matter who he is or what his relationship is, I will not let him off easily."

Emperor Jiahe rarely used dragon energy to shock his ministers.

The descendants of the true dragon cooperated with the fortune of the flying dragon in the sky. Except for a few people such as the Duke of Zhenguo, Fang Xiang, Chu Wujiang, etc., all the ministers in the Hall of Supreme Harmony lowered their heads unconsciously, secretly shocked.

Chu Wujiang also felt that the prince's dragon energy was growing exponentially and was several times stronger than before.

Originally, [Flying Dragon in the Sky] was famous for its abundant dragon energy. Now with the blessing of [Descendants of the True Dragon], it finally had the capital to subdue all the ministers.

The ministers shouted:
"We will obey your Highness' orders."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked at Chu Wujiang with satisfaction and said with a smile:
"Chu Qing, if you have any ideas, please tell me."

"As long as it's useful, I will do it."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince trusts Marquis Guanjun too much, to an abnormal degree.

The ministers communicated secretly in private.

Ever since Prince Yusheng died, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince chose to burn himself and improve himself at the fastest speed, hoping to kill his enemies with his own hands.

He knew that the one who killed his third brother was a demon saint, and that he was not as talented as the other party, so His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had to launch the Northern Expedition when the gap between the two sides was the smallest.

For this reason, he could put aside the emperor's suspicion and allow Chu Wujiang to display his talents.

Chu Wujiang took a deep breath and said:
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness."

"As Prime Minister Fang said just now, the armaments problem can be solved through collective negotiation and mobilizing all the weapon shops in the world."

"Then the food problem may require the Duke of Zhenguo to take action."

The ministers' eyes returned to the Duke of Zhenguo. Could this farmer's saint have any killer trick up his sleeve?
Seeing this, Fang Xiang felt vaguely uneasy.

The Duke of Zhenguo is already powerful enough. If he makes another breakthrough in agriculture, his fortune will also see new growth.

The Duke of Zhenguo said in a deep voice:

"I have verified that the Complete Book of Agricultural Policy by Champion Marquis is indeed extraordinary. The seeds I have cultivated recently have an increase of about 10% per mu in production compared to the past."

"It's just that it has many flaws, and its potential is far from reaching its limit. I don't plan to promote it urgently."

The prince was delighted when he heard this and asked quickly:

"Your Excellency, have you discovered a new Jiahe?"

"How many kilograms can this new improved variety yield per acre?"

The imperial court attached great importance to agriculture, especially good varieties of crops. Since the advent of the human emperor, a special minister of agriculture was appointed to cultivate good varieties of crops. Officials from all over the country would regard it as a good omen when they encountered high-yield crops.

For tens of thousands of years, humans have used this primitive breeding method to increase the rice yield per mu to 800 kilograms.

The per-acre yield of grain fluctuates with conditions such as land, water, and light. The national per-acre yield is maintained at around 800 kilograms, which is difficult to increase.

Now that the Duke of Zhenguo suddenly said that it could be increased by 10%, it was already surprising enough.

The Duke of Zhenguo pondered and said:

"It's not that Jiahe was found, but that Guanjun Hou found a lost book on agricultural policy. There are some planting techniques in it that can help a lot with grain production." "It's just that the results of the experimental field are good, and we need to verify it and further increase the production."

If the yield of the experimental field increased by 10%, and if farmers all over the world were to plant the crop, they would be happy if they could increase the yield by 3%-5%.

A climate fluctuation can offset such production capacity.

Of course, the most troublesome thing about hybrid breeding is that the seeds must be cultivated generation after generation and then sold to farmers.

Through hybrid breeding, farmers will lose the ability to save seeds.

The Duke of Zhenguo must cultivate enough seeds to supply all the states in the world, which puts him under certain pressure. In addition, there is the issue of whether the hybrid seeds can adapt to the local environment.

Therefore, the Duke of Zhenguo has never planned to publish his research results, but this is enough to make His Royal Highness the Crown Prince happy:
"My Lord, this is very good."

“I wonder if this hybrid technology can be planted next year?”

The Duke of Zhenguo pondered and said:

"I'll do my best."

"If this improved variety can increase the yield by 20%, we will announce the success to the court."

The original yield per mu of 800 kilograms has increased to about 1000 kilograms, which is already a remarkable achievement. Not to mention solving the famine problem, it can at least greatly alleviate the food crisis.

The prerequisite is that Chu Wujiang can use cheats, close his eyes and open them again, and all the people in the world will plant the new seeds and take good care of the hybrid rice, thereby increasing production collectively.

This is obviously impossible.

Fang Xiang couldn't help but ask:
"I admire you very much for cultivating new species."

"But these new species seem to be unable to quench the thirst of the near future."

Yes.

Even if the Duke of Zhenguo worked desperately to prepare a large amount of hybrid seeds before next year and plant them, it would take at least until the summer grain harvest to alleviate the food crisis.

Chu Wujiang smiled and said:
"Prime Minister Fang, is there really a shortage of food in this world?"

Fang Xiang pondered and said:
"Of course there is a shortage, otherwise the price of food would not have risen so sharply."

Chu Wujiang shook his head and said:

"This is not just a food problem, it's a distribution crisis."

"There is plenty of food in the warehouses of the gentry, noble families, and clans in various places."

"Large quantities of old grain are stored in cellars and warehouses, and they would rather rot than sell them."

"Because they see that food prices will continue to rise, they will naturally stockpile more."

"First, it can prevent food crisis, and second, it can make some money."

"Eventually, this all fell into a vicious cycle. The higher the price of grain, the more the gentry in various places hoarded it."

Just like Chu Wujiang's previous life, if the world's food was distributed equally, with more than one ton per person, people would still starve to death.

The Mandate of Heaven is heading towards a food crisis, which is caused by both real shortages and structural contradictions, and is composed of multiple factors.

First, food production has not increased but has decreased.

Second, the population continues to expand, and the contradiction between people and land is becoming increasingly intensified.

Third, the continuous expansion of the warrior group and their demand for meat expanded the scale of the breeding industry.

Fourth, the squeeze of special rice on ordinary crops.

A strong man in the martial arts world can eat a hundred kilograms of meat a day if he lets his stomach go.

Even the poorest warriors are much stronger than ordinary people. They eat a lot of meat to replenish their energy.

In other words, the warrior class and the nobles ate too much, causing the lowest class of people to have to eat sweet potatoes, and if they were worse off, they could only eat tree bark.

It cannot be considered an absolute deficiency, but rather a structural contradiction.

A meal of spiritual rice for one warrior is equivalent to the daily ration of 800 people.

If the wealthy class of Chu Wujiang in his previous life could eat 800 kilograms of rice a day, the lower class would still suffer from famine.

Fang Xiang said in a deep voice:
"According to the Champion Marquis, are you planning to crack down on hoarding, or force them to sell grain, or ban breeding?"

Warriors eat too much, and it is also for the sake of the human race's combat effectiveness, so it is difficult to stop them from eating and drinking too much.

Requiring local gentry to sell grain would directly suppress prices, which was beyond the control of the existing imperial court.

Chu Wujiang smiled and said:
"of course not."

"What I mean is that we must break this vicious cycle and make people in the world believe that food prices will fall."

The ministers present did not understand this.

If there are good seeds that can increase production, then food prices will fall, forcing local gentry and wealthy families to sell their food?

Anyway, the court has to purchase a large amount of military rations, which, combined with the stored grain, is normally not enough.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also did not understand and immediately asked:

"Mr. Chu, what's your plan?"

Chu Wujiang smiled and said:

"I do have a plan, but I cannot let it out."

Everyone present was a big landowner. The Duke of Zhenguo owned 20 million acres of fertile land, and there were also people from various aristocratic families. Together, they not only controlled the pricing of grain, but at least they made a lot of money.

Everyone said quickly:

"I don't dare to wait."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly had an idea and added:
"If you don't want to sell your food at a low price, you can leave now."

"I won't care."

How could the ministers dare to leave? If they left at this time, they would be disgraced.

The agricultural production structure of the Tianming Dynasty was one in which large landowners and estate owners coexisted with self-cultivating farmers and small landlords.

This allowed the aristocratic families and nobles to unite and, to a certain extent, influence the trend of grain prices.

They all promised to put the overall situation first and lower food prices.

Chu Wujiang smiled and said:

"Since the ministers are willing to sell at a low price, I will do my best to reduce your losses."

The ministers said in unison:

"Champion, please speak."

Chu Wujiang took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:

"Your Highness, my method is very simple. I will rely on newspapers to promote the new improved variety developed by the Duke of Zhenguo. It can currently increase production by 20%, and it is expected to increase production by 50% if its full potential is released."

"In a few years, this fine variety will hopefully double in value!"

"By then, the yield of 1,600 kilograms per mu will no longer be a dream."

what?
All the ministers looked at the Duke of Zhenguo.

Is this new planting technology really so powerful?
The Duke of Zhenguo was just about to reject Chu Wujiang's nonsense.

Don't talk nonsense.

I just said that there is a 20% chance of success. As for words like 50% or double, they are nonsense.

Unexpectedly, just as the Duke of Zhenguo was about to refute, he heard Chu Wujiang's secret voice transmission.

[My Lord, as long as everyone in the world believes that this good seed has such power, it will be able to save the world.]

The Duke of Zhenguo was not stupid either. He looked embarrassed and said:

"Champion Hou, if we want to double the output, I'm afraid it will be difficult."

"But if we can increase it by 30-50%, I am still somewhat confident."

Thirty to fifty percent?
The ministers began to calculate how many more kilograms of grain their own fields could produce, and they all showed expressions of surprise.

Chu Wujiang showed a smile of success:

"With the good seed of the Duke, I feel more confident."

"In addition to promoting improved varieties, the newspapers will also publicize the Prime Minister's measures to restrict the use of high-quality rice and encourage the planting of grain."

"In short, the ministers can cooperate with the newspaper propaganda, sell a large amount of old grain, and completely bring down the grain price."

"The court wants to create a long-term bearish trend in grain prices."

"My Lords, this improved variety may not be able to increase production all at once next year, but it will definitely have a large-scale impact on food in the next three to five years."

Now the Tianming Dynasty as a whole has food.

A wealthy farmer would save for three years, small and medium-sized landlords would save for five years of food rations, and large families and clans would save for ten years of old grain.

From the perspective of the whole society, there is food, and it is not in absolute shortage. It is just that the court's governance is not good and the price of food continues to rise.

The higher the grain price, the less food there is. Coupled with the impact of spiritual rice, grain prices cannot be reduced in a short period of time.

Chu Wujiang’s opinion is to use newspapers to carry out propaganda to make people believe that grain prices will gradually fall, grain production will increase next year, and grain prices will skyrocket the year after.

In Chu Wujiang's previous life, this was called expectation management.

For example, the Federal Reserve’s interest rate hikes and cuts allow the market to fully accept regulation in order to intervene in the flow of funds.

If the imperial court simply and crudely announced that it would purchase a large amount of grain, it would only further worsen the domestic market.

The ministers present were stunned.

Is there such a method?

Chu Wujiang added:

"The Tao Te Ching says: If you want to take something, you must first give it."

"All ministers collectively sell old grain to create a miracle where grain production increases by 50% next year and 100% the year after, etc."

"We should first break down the grain price, and then the court will slowly purchase the grain. We must not make a big fuss about it."

Of course, once the market reacts, the results could be dire.

Therefore, the imperial court had to lower the price of grain in the first action, so that landlords from all over the country, including nobles and clans, would rush to sell their old grain in order to reduce losses.

The Tianming Dynasty built warehouses in various places for disaster relief and other purposes, but they rarely saw Chu Wujiang take the initiative to intervene and influence market prices.

In addition, Chu Wujiang was also worried that the major families might be traitors, and added:

"My dear ministers, if anyone actively sells grain during this operation, his family will be given priority to obtain the new and improved varieties."

"My Lord, the yield of these fine varieties will not be too high at the beginning."

The Duke of Zhenguo smiled and said:

"Of course."

"The new improved varieties that I have cultivated will be handed over to the court for distribution."

"The court can also use it to reward meritorious officials."

Everyone's expression changed when they heard this.

If others can produce 1600 kilograms per mu, but they can only produce 800 kilograms, wouldn't that be a loss of 800 kilograms?

Whoever cannot obtain good seeds will have to pay the price of limited output.

They all said:

"We are willing to sell food."

Fang also said that he would go to other families to negotiate and bring down the price of grain.

But they still don’t know how insidious Chu Wujiang is.

What is the biggest disadvantage of hybridization technology?
If farmers cannot save seeds, the yield of the next generation will plummet.

Henceforth, farmers will be constrained by seed supply.

But for Chu Wujiang, this is actually a new power that can be used to regulate the output and supply of food.

He hopes that both spiritual rice and rice can be regulated so as to avoid sudden price increases or decreases.

This is just a small experiment.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could not help but ask:
"Mr. Chu, you are truly a pillar of the country."

Fang Xiang echoed:
"The Champion Marquis has foresight and foresight, which the old ministers cannot match."

"The problems of armaments, military supplies and food prices have all been solved."

"But what should I do with this last bit of interest?"

The court's income is there, and with so much silver to repay the principal and interest every year, the court doesn't even have to work anymore. It's not even enough to pay the interest alone.

Chu Wujiang smiled and said:

"The Prime Minister is currently implementing taxes on alcohol and tobacco, and it is said that the effect is quite good?"

Fang Xiang nodded and said:
"Thanks to the efforts of the Marquis, this liquor tax is expected to increase the tax revenue for the court by 1 million to 2 million taels per year if it is implemented nationwide."

Liquor tax is easy to collect. As long as you focus on big cities and big restaurants, they won’t be able to escape it.

In the 2100th century, Tsarist Russia could collect million taels of silver in liquor tax, let alone the Mandate of Heaven with a population of billion.

Prime Minister Fang estimated that the liquor tax would be around 2 million taels, which had already taken into account corruption and tax evasion.

Chu Wujiang smiled and said:
"Then this will be easy to handle."

"The court can use the name of war to collect elixir taxes and use the money to pay back the interest."

"If the pharmacy sells the elixirs to the imperial court, it can be tax-exempt."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince originally wanted to make the people suffer further, but Chu Wujiang thought this was not feasible.

But if the middle class and the children of martial arts schools can suffer a little more, then there will be no problem.

They had no way to purchase illegal, tax-free pills, so they could only buy them from pill houses, which happened to tax them heavily.

There is only one way to get tax exemption.

Join the army and join the war.

The biggest benefit of war is that it can reduce resistance to reform.

Once the human race and the evil god's court open up, the power of Taoism to oppose the spiritual medicine tax will weaken.

With justice in hand, who dares to stop it?
