Chapter 969: Corruption in the Han Kingdom

"I have something I want to ask you, my friend."

"What's the matter?"

Ruo Shi obviously wanted to choose his words carefully, but after hesitating for a while, he chose to tell the truth: "Is the catastrophe over?"

Deng Chanyu looked at him seriously: "Why does Tianzun ask when he knows the answer?"

The person in front of him is Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun, who was named the Eastern Qinghua Emperor by Haotian. He is very old and slightly inferior to the Earth Mother, Thunder God, Zhulong and others. He is about the same as Yunzhongjun. He is also an ancient god and a quasi-saint who participated in the three lectures of Zixiao Palace in the past. If he looks like this, he should be the incarnation of the Qinghua Emperor.

Ruoshi smiled bitterly: "I am isolated from the news and I really don't know whether it is true or not, so I would like to ask for your guidance."

Even the veteran Quasi-Saints were frightened by the successive great calamities of the prehistoric world. Deng Chanyu stared at him for a moment. This information was completely worthless to her, and he wasn't as ignorant as he appeared. She said with certainty, "It's over."

"Thanks for the advice, fellow Taoist."

"Thank you very much for the clams, I'll take my leave now."

Deng Chanyu rode on the five-colored divine bull and floated away.

She collected clams from the East China Sea, forehead yellow and purple jade from the South China Sea, and various natural treasures that seemed to have little value but were actually related to preserving and stabilizing the fetus. She then returned to Mount Emei.

Deng Chanyu can be said to have cut off worldly ties very thoroughly. She was originally a time traveler. Even if the memories of the original Deng Chanyu were integrated, her relationship with the Deng family and those blood relatives was just like that. She was very self-centered. I think I have done my best for you, so I can cut off these worldly relationships and focus on cultivating my own path.

Daji couldn't do that. The relationship between Daji and her father, brother, sister-in-law, nephews and nieces could not be severed in a short time.

Kinship ties cannot be severed, but it is also difficult for fathers and daughters, or brothers and sisters to say anything friendly to each other on a regular basis.

This is just like those classmates who gradually lose contact after graduation. Their paths are different and they lack common language, so naturally there is no need to keep in touch.

Deng Chanyu was able to talk freely with her father and brother because she had some qualities of a community leader, and she was not much influenced by the etiquette of that era. Once I spoke, you listened, and that was it.

This is not the case with the Su family.

Fathers and daughters, brothers and sisters care about each other, but they don't say it out loud, and seem very reserved and implicit.

Not to mention this period, even in the new society, when the richest man Wang sent his son to study abroad, he didn't know what to say, and finally came up with "revitalize China".

Now the people in the Su family don’t know how to express their friendly relationship with Daji, and they don’t know what to say to her. Daji herself is not good at dealing with this.

When Deng Chanyu was completely in charge of the affairs of the Han Dynasty, Daji took over some of the government affairs that her father was in charge of, so that they had a common language.

Her father Su Hu could not be said to be illiterate, but he was not good at handling government affairs either. Now some of the more troublesome matters were sent to Mount Emei via paper figures one by one.

"Pfft, cough, cough, cough!" Daji was looking at the documents when she suddenly coughed forcefully, her face flushing crimson. Deng Chanyu, who had been in seclusion in her secret room, instantly appeared beside her, patting her back and rubbing her stomach. He used his telepathy to the utmost, fearing something might go wrong. "What's wrong? What's wrong? Is it a stomachache? Or nausea? Do you want to vomit?" she asked in a series of questions.

Daji's eyes were full of spirit, and she couldn't help but pursed her lips, with a look of sweetness that came from being cared for. When two maids hurried over to help, she waved her hand to show that she was fine, and at the same time patted Deng Chanyu gently, thinking that she was too nervous and that she was really fine.

"I'm looking at this. How can I put it? It's kind of funny, right?" She pointed at the document and said vaguely.

"What is it that's so interesting? Let me take a look." Seeing that Daji was vague in her words, Deng Chanyu also picked up the document on the table and took a closer look.

After reading it, she was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and looked back at Daji with a look of speechlessness in her eyes.

Daji covered her mouth and chuckled, like a fox who had successfully stolen a chicken. She was disgusted by it, and you couldn't escape either.

Deng Chanyu coughed and pointed at the document, saying, "See, these guys, once they're no longer threatened by the Eighteen Layers of Hell, will always come up with something new to do to you."

Daji had a strange look on her face, as if she was afraid of being overheard by the maids who hadn't left yet. She lowered her voice and said, "Is this... is it really possible to do this?"

Deng Chanyu scratched her head: "Maybe he has gone through some special training?"

It seems like we are in the Shang and Zhou dynasties now, but actually, seeing that they often dispatched armies of 600,000 or 800,000 to fight wars, we know that the productivity of this period was more than ten times higher than that of the Shang and Zhou dynasties in history.

With high productivity, business flourishes. The business of the Han State was more prosperous than that of all other princes combined.

In such a wealthy country, corruption is inevitable. Deng Chanyu early on sent ghost messengers to take those corrupt officials to stroll through the eighteen levels of hell, which was considered to have curbed the corruption in the early Han Dynasty.

However, this trick can only be used temporarily, not forever. As she and Daji became less and less involved in the affairs of the Han Dynasty, this method could no longer be implemented.

She later established the Iron Bank based on the model of modern banks, which was specifically responsible for managing money. She then formulated various rules and regulations, such as mutual supervision, such as changing clothes before entering and leaving the house to prevent smuggling. When she was there, supervision was strong and corruption could be avoided. After she was gone, no matter how good the system was, it could not withstand greed, and the corrupt method of paying silver on the dry road was born.
Daji was in a dilemma: "Now my father is in charge of the Iron Bank and has killed a lot of people, but what should I do in the future? Or should I send some more ghost messengers over there?"

"It's not right, it's not right. We can't follow the Han Kingdom all our lives, right? We have to kill the corrupt officials, and do we have to kill the traitors as well? What about those who are derelict in their duties?" Deng Chanyu opposed using immortal methods to govern the country. Everything should be looked forward. The Han Kingdom is a thing of the past. Since you have left, don't look back.

Daji muttered, implying that she must think of a way out for her.

Deng Chanyu used her brain and kept thinking.

Can this be avoided? I remember that in history, smuggling began in the Shunzhi period and was not exposed until the Daoguang period. This is really a skill that has been passed down for a long time.

She quickly came up with a solution and started drawing: "The edges of our current silver ingots are all rounded to facilitate transactions. Next time, tell your father that the silver ingots in the Iron Bank are cast into squares with sharp edges."

Practice from a young age? Peanuts at seven, pebbles at ten? Silver ingots will have sharp corners in the future, so you guys should practice hard.
