Man covers the sky and conquers all worlds

Chapter 135: Protecting the Country and the People, Heaven and Man See the Qi

Over the past few months, Liming has successfully refined nearly one-tenth of the human dragon energy by spreading the Heaven-Covering Method in this world.

Gradually, he discovered that he had gained the ability to see air from a distance!
This ability is somewhat similar to the ability that was expected of a man of great spirit in the pre-Qin period.

For example, it is recorded in "Records of the Grand Historian: The Biography of Xiang Yu".

The strategist Fan Zeng had the ability to predict people's fortunes.

This is also the reason why, although he had no martial arts skills at all, he was still treated as a guest of honor by Xiang Yu.

With his extraordinary ability to see through people's energy, he discovered many talents for Xiang Yu.

At the same time, when Liu Bang appeared, he could see the dragon and tiger aura in Liu Bang.

Unfortunately... although Overlord Xiang Yu was powerful, he was just a remnant of the pre-Qin feudal system.

There is no determination to dominate the world and unify the nine provinces!
Therefore, in his opinion, although Liu Bang had great ambitions, it had little to do with him.

What he wanted was only to redistribute the states after destroying Qin.

At that time, under his leadership, the State of Chu would become one of the hegemons in history.

This is what he pursues!
At the same time, he also did not believe that Liu Bang, a knight-errant, could accomplish the old dream of unification that even the Qin Dynasty had failed to carry out!

Until later he was trapped in the Wujiang River, suppressed by the Dragon Locking Formation set up by hundreds of thousands of troops, and finally consumed to death by countless soldiers!

This... was also the first first-rank martial saint in history to be trapped and suppressed by a military formation, and then consumed to death by a dozen grand masters!
Unfortunately... after Han Xin was surrounded and killed by Lu Zhi in the harem, this volume of the Dragon Locking Formation was completely lost.

Fan Zeng's destiny was also buried along with him in the depths of time and earth.

Gradually no one knew about it.

But Dawn's technique of observing qi seems to be different.

He can not only vaguely see a person's fortune.

At the same time, you can also see the fortune of an entire area from a distance.

For example, no matter where there is a rebellion or where someone has evil intentions, almost nothing can escape his eyes.

Therefore, combined with his ability to see qi, he can distinguish between loyalty and treachery and understand turmoil based on certain specific conditions.

This enabled him to stabilize the entire Song Dynasty in just a few months with the tens of thousands of troops under his command.

And... most importantly, he stopped the stupid practice of collecting taxes with the help of local tyrants, and directly collected taxes with the army under his command and then handed them over to the national treasury!
This, to a great extent, prevents local tyrants from interfering too much when collecting taxes.

To the extent that it arouses public anger and resentment, and conflicts are deliberately guided and diverted.

Even if the army were to come, it would be impossible to completely eliminate this possibility.

But he chose the lesser of two evils. Currently, his ability to control the army is far superior to that of local tyrants.

Governing a big country is like cooking a small fish, which is completely different from his previous style of openness and suppression.

At the beginning, he felt that he couldn't move his hands and feet freely and was restricted everywhere.

But when he figured out the rules of the game, he relied on his strong state of mind and the accumulation of multiple worlds.

He began to feel at home.

This is also a kind of practice, an improvement and accumulation that will not take effect immediately at this moment.

In this way, most of the land within the former Song Dynasty gradually became stable.

The vast majority of people were not affected by the wars and weapons during changes of dynasties.

On the contrary, after the tax reform in the early morning, the huge burden on the heads of many people was gradually lifted.

The surplus grain in ordinary people's granaries gradually increased.

……

"Your Majesty, long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long, long live the emperor!"

Amidst a thunderous roar of praise, all the courtiers knelt on the ground. On the throne, Li Ming, wearing a five-clawed dark golden dragon robe, looked through the swaying tassels in front of him, raised his hand slightly,
"Please, my lords, please stand up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

All the ministers responded in unison and slowly stood up under the leadership of the two generals, Zong Ze and Zhong Shidao, and the prime minister, Huang Shang.

Today, the ministers under the imperial rank are mainly divided into three major forces.

One is a group of old ministers of the Song Dynasty headed by Shi Dao and Zong Ze.

The other is a force headed by Erlongshan, which was recruited by Li Ming from the underworld.

As for the last category, most of them came from the local ethnic groups who were the first to seek refuge.

Now, in the early days of the new dynasty, these three major factions are still in the stage of mutual testing and mutual restraint.

However, as the interests of all parties gradually stabilized, some minor frictions also slowly emerged.

There is no faction in the party, all weird and strange.

Dawn did not blame them for the friction and conflict between them. This was also a means of checking and balancing each other.

Politics is all about balance.

If one company really becomes the dominant player, it would actually be a problem.

If it really comes to that, Dawn will have no choice but to bear the pain and clean it up himself!

Thinking of a eunuch in purple robes, he shouted loudly,

"If you have something to report, go back to court if nothing happens!"

"Your Majesty, I have this report!"

Before the old eunuch finished speaking, Zong Ze, who was standing in front of the ministers, took a step forward.

"Taiwei, please speak!"

Dawn's eyes were calm, and a part of his mind was separated from him at any time.

Either he would fall into the depths of the Map of the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Daos to challenge Shi Hao and Ye Fan, or he would take advantage of the opportunity to enter the secret realm of the Wheel Sea and continuously refine the dragon energy of humanity.

There are so many different things.

At this time, Zong Ze, after turning to practice the secret realm method, has already initially built the divine bridge, and his comprehensive strength is even close to the first level!
He is Li Ming's subordinate, more powerful than Lu Zhishen, and ranked among the top three masters.

He bowed slightly.
"Eleven months ago, His Majesty, on Erlong Mountain, issued invitations to all heroes in the martial arts world and convened a martial arts tournament, hoping to gather all the heroes in the world."

"It's less than a month until the agreed date. I, your humble servant, have discussed with General Zhong and requested that this martial arts conference be designated as Daxia's first martial arts examination!"

In this world where martial arts are rampant, the martial arts imperial examination appeared even earlier than the civil arts imperial examination!
After all... if he cannot recruit many powerful warriors under his command, the chaos he will cause in the world will be a hundred times greater than that caused by scholars.

Especially those who have achieved success in martial arts are mostly at least familiar with literature.

"good!"

Liming nodded slightly, and the sound resounded in the hall like a huge bell.

"Spread the word throughout the world. Participants in this martial arts examination who place among the top three thousand will not only be granted official positions, but will also receive the third-grade Gangqi True Method and the Bitter Sea Secret Method!"

He knew very well that no matter how many empty slogans were shouted, they would not be as touching as real and tangible benefits.

"On behalf of all the students in the world, I bow to thank the Emperor for his grace!"

Zong Ze bowed deeply.

He grew up in a poor family, and it was through the imperial examination that he had the opportunity to read more books and travel more.

Therefore, no one knows better than him how great an opportunity the promise made by Liming is for many poor students!
(ps: I was drinking with Party A today and felt a little dizzy. The drinking party hasn’t ended yet, so I took the time to code these. I will try to make up for it later.)
