Cultivation begins with separation.

Chapter 208 Calculation
Kanshui lasts for a hundred years.

Without any surprise, the Yi family became a sixth-rank family in Pingyuan County.

Most of the former aristocratic families of county origin became seventh-rank families, the dominant families in the county became eighth-rank families, and all other aristocratic families became ninth-rank families.

The immortal kingdom's aristocratic families are ranked ninth.

The top three ranks are families of merit, the middle three ranks are ancient families and the sixth-rank families in the county. They are basically difficult to change, and the Immortal Kingdom has not issued any decrees on the promotion or demotion of the top six-rank families.

Only those of the lower three grades can apply for upgrading.

The Immortal Kingdom levies taxes on aristocratic families, and nominally all aristocratic families are subject to taxes.

But in reality, only the lower three ranks of noble families need to pay taxes according to the law.

The higher the quality, the more preferential treatment you will receive.

The meritorious families and the ancient families are the controlling class of the fairyland. How could they possibly pay taxes?

The sixth-rank aristocratic families are the executors responsible for collecting taxes in each county.

As an executor, embezzlement is a basic operation, and paying taxes is completely impossible.

The sixth-rank family that controls the Book of Earth is not an existence that the Immortal Kingdom can abolish at will.

When the Immortal Kingdom levies taxes, it not only looks at the grade, but also the number and quality of spirit veins.

The first aristocratic family meeting of Pingyuan County was held in the county seat.

At the first Aristocratic Family Conference, Speaker Yi Dong was absent, so Vice Speaker Yi Fu took over the meeting.

Originally, Chairman Zhengfu should not be from the same family, but the situation in Pingyuan County has become a situation where the Yi family is the only dominant family, and the rules are no longer applicable in Pingyuan County.

In the parliament, Yi Fu presided over the work of evaluating the grades of spiritual veins, as well as the various obligations that the lower three-grade families needed to undertake.

The taxes levied on spirit veins are collected in spirit stones. A first-level spirit vein costs one thousand to two thousand spirit stones, a second-level spirit vein costs two thousand to five thousand, and a third-level spirit vein costs five thousand to ten thousand.

There are fluctuations because the spiritual veins are divided into three grades: high, medium and low.

In Pingyuan County, there are still a few families that are still unwilling to sell their spiritual veins. The spiritual veins of their families have all been rated as top-grade and they need to pay the highest taxes.

Moreover, some dangerous or tiring tasks, such as corvee labor, were also placed on those families.

With the Daqian Mirror, the Yi family had already thoroughly understood the situations of the members of those families. Even newborn babies in their families were arranged to do corvee labor.

The naked malice frightened the representatives of the aristocratic families in Pingyuan County.

It also allowed the parliamentary representatives sent by the official Xian Kingdom to see the tyranny of the Yi family.

Of course, those who were targeted were not only the families that were unwilling to sell their excess spirit veins, but also some families that followed the Zhu family during the underground war. Those families were also given a lot of trouble by the Yi family.

There were nearly a thousand parliamentary representatives in the huge parliamentary hall.

One seat for a ninth-rank family, three seats for an eighth-rank family, and ten seats for a seventh-rank family.

Originally, there was also a limit on the number of parliamentarians for sixth-rank families, but this limit basically did not exist in Pingyuan County.

Yi Fu, who had already reached the Nascent Soul stage, sat on the vice-speaker's throne, looking down at the parliamentary representatives of more than 700 aristocratic families in Pingyuan County. An unprecedented sense of satisfaction surged in his heart.

Of course, Yi Fu was not lost. He knew without thinking that many people in the Yi family were trying every means to replace him, including some of the Yi family members present.

Those people were waiting for him to make a mistake.

Now, Yuanying stage cultivators have appeared one after another in the Yi family.

Since the Yi family had not yet expanded its influence in Pingyuan County, it was difficult to assign specific positions to those Nascent Soul cultivators, so they were all given the status of councilors.

Now, the Yi family, including Yi Fu, has thirteen Nascent Soul cultivators.

There are many people who apply for Yuanying loans, but most of them get stuck at number two. Since the success rate of breakthrough is too low, they fail the final review.

Most of the current thirteen Nascent Souls are from the ruling class of the Yi family, and the resources for forming Nascent Souls are basically accumulated by themselves.

These Yuanying parliamentarians naturally coveted the position of Vice Speaker Yi Fu.

With Yi Dong rarely showing up, the vice speaker is basically the most crucial person in deciding the future of the major families in Pingyuan County.

Among the representatives of the Yi family, there was a young man with green pupils sitting in the front row of the parliament seats.

This person is Yi Shounan, the swordsman with the Breaking Law Eye who had demonstrated his skill in front of Yi Dong in the Falling Star Sea.

Over the years, not only did his eyes evolve into Dharma-breaking Eyes, he also compiled many secret methods to help the purple eyes evolve into Dharma-breaking Eyes, allowing many of his tribesmen's purple eyes to evolve into Dharma-breaking Eyes.

With this achievement, Yi Shounan's status in the Yi family continued to improve, and he obtained more and more resources.

Currently, he has served as the commander of the Yi family's First Legion and has also served as the person in charge of the Zhutian Sword Tomb.

In order to better manage the major families in Pingyuan County, the Yi family set up several departments, namely the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Finance, and the Business Department.

Each department is under the charge of six elders.

And Yi Shounan is the grand elder of the Ministry of Works.

Yi Shounan has reached this position. If he wants to go one step further, he will have to replace Yi Fu.

Yi Fu, as Yi Dong's spokesperson, is basically equivalent to a prime minister in the secular court. He commands six ministries and is in charge of all miscellaneous affairs among the aristocratic families in Pingyuan County.

Yi Shounan was very patient. Back then, he waited silently for decades for an opportunity and finally showed up in front of Yi Dong.

Now, in order to replace Yi Fu, he can still silently wait for Yi Fu to make a mistake.

Of course, Yi Fu was not the only one waiting for him to make a mistake. Many members of the Yi family who were waiting for the position were jealous of Yi Fu's position. Power and interests are usually connected.

As far as Yi Shounan knew, Yi Fu had secretly collected countless spiritual objects during this period of time.

Of course, Yi Fu accepted the gift, but he knew very well what he could do and what he could not do, and this little thing could not bring down the other party.

However, Yi Fu himself knew that not all of his children and grandchildren were clear-headed people.

Just like.

Yi Shounan couldn't help but look at a man with a somewhat arrogant look in his eyes.

This person is the grandson of Yi Fu, and has dual spiritual roots.

Nowadays, having dual spiritual roots is nothing in the Yi family, because some internally circulated Bu Tian Dan can give birth to dual spiritual roots.

But this clan member named Yi Daocheng recently had a son with natural spiritual roots.

Ever since his son was found to have a natural spiritual root, the baby has received all the love and care from the Yi Fu lineage.

Within the Yi family, there is an abundance of Bu Tian Dan (Bu Tian Dan). Apart from Yi Dong's family, it is rare to find someone with natural spiritual roots.

After Yi Daocheng's son was found to have a natural spiritual root, he became more and more arrogant.

Recently, Yi Shounan heard Yi Daocheng say in some private occasions that his son had the potential to be the head of the family.

Ever since hearing this rumor, Yi Shounan knew that the opportunity that he thought he would have to wait for two or three hundred years might come soon.

Although the Yi family has a lot of clan laws and regulations, Yi Shounan knows one thing that is not recorded in the clan laws, that is, challenging the status of Yi Dong's family is the biggest taboo.

In the Yi family, Yi Dong's family has the final say. Yi Dong is so overbearing, how could he allow others to challenge his position?

Although it is still a private rumor now, Yi Shounan knows that as long as Yi Daocheng does not restrain himself, Yi Fu will soon be implicated by him.

Even without Yi Daocheng's involvement, Yi Fu would suffer because of that great-grandson with a natural spiritual root.

“Heavenly Spiritual Roots?

It’s just a joke.”

Yi Shounan knew very well that if one was not a natural spiritual root of Yi Dong's family, his situation in the Yi family might not be better than that of an ordinary member of the family with double spiritual roots.

"., Ladies and Gentlemen, the underground war in Pingyuan County has not yet ended. The Dark Sky Clan is still threatening the stability of our Pingyuan County, so the militia cannot be disbanded. Not only can it not be disbanded, it needs to be expanded.

Now, there are still ownerless spirit veins in Pingyuan County. Who can obtain the spirit vein depends on their performance in the war. "

Although the spiritual veins on the surface basically have owners, there are many spiritual veins underground, and no one has stipulated that a family cannot be established underground.

Yi Fu was giving a passionate speech, but the representatives of the aristocratic families below were listening in a drowsy way.

They had long understood that the Dark Sky Clan had been crippled as early as the time of Zhu Ziwen. The reason why the Yi family had been dragging its feet and not destroying it was to rationally recruit soldiers from the militia to go mining underground.

The underground spiritual veins have nothing to do with their families. The Yi family does not allow other families to own new spiritual veins.

Now, not only the militia needs to help the Yi family mine, but even the Dark Sky Clan is helping the Yi family mine.

The Dark Sky Clan was basically enslaved by the Yi family. The purpose of their existence was to prevent the militia from disbanding and to serve as labor.

Yi Fu talked about the militia and then began to talk about the land veins of Pingyuan County.

"The ground veins are the foundation of our Pingyuan County. Repairing the ground veins is the duty of every cultivator in Pingyuan County.

The earth veins are unblocked, and more spiritual veins will be born in our Pingyuan County."

The meeting of aristocratic families lasted for a full half month. Yi Fu would also let people discuss some unimportant proposals to show that Pingyuan County was not a one-man show by the Yi family and to make the official representatives of the fairy countries look better.

After the Aristocratic Family Council ended, Yi Fu hurriedly sorted out the meeting minutes and related videos and sent them to Zijin Mountain.

No matter whether Yi Dong is watching or not, Yi Fu will do his job well.

The various disturbances kept Yi Fu busy for three months before he had time to deal with matters related to his own lineage.

He immediately ordered people to capture Yi Daocheng.

"Evil creature, do you want me to die?"

"what happened?"

"What's wrong? Don't you know what good things you have done recently?"

"Father, are you talking about my application to allow Mingxian to go to Zijin Mountain to follow the ancestor?

This is the tradition of our Yi family. Isn't it the rule for people with natural spiritual roots to be taught by the ancestors before entering the intermediate Taoist academy?"

"what!"

Yi Fu was horrified. With his Nascent Soul cultivation, he actually dropped the teacup in his hand.
"You actually did such a thing?"

Yi Fu originally thought that Yi Daocheng was just bragging everywhere, but he didn't expect that the other party actually asked Yi Dong to help him teach his son. This was simply courting death.

A palm composed of magical power hit Yi Daocheng, injuring him and making him unconscious.

Yi Fu was no longer in the mood to scold this stupid thing, and rushed to Purple Mountain.

Since the establishment of Purple Gold Mountain, no member of the tribe could ask Yi Dong to do anything. Yi Daocheng's behavior had already made Yi Fu feel disappointed.

He knew that many people coveted his position, but he didn't expect those people to take action so quickly, and the means were so vicious.
