Supreme King

Chapter 873 Soul Eater Shuttle

You must know that although Ye Chen was seriously injured, his strength should not be underestimated. In addition, the congenital jade gourd is a magic weapon that the evil emperor has managed for many years, and its power is far from comparable to that of Han Xue and Wei Piaopiao , Qi controls the Soul Eater Shuttle in a distant place, how can it be possible to break free from Ye Chen's grip?
But Qi was also generous, seeing that he couldn't break free, he simply ignored the Soul Eater Shuttle and let him be taken in by the Xiantian Jade Gourd and fell into Ye Chen's hands.

Ye Chen reached out and took the soul-devouring shuttle out of the congenital jade gourd, and threw it into the blood demon cauldron, allowing the blood demon cauldron to refine the primordial spirit left on the soul-devouring shuttle.

But after doing all this, Ye Chen couldn't hold it anymore, spit out a mouthful of blood again, fell into a coma in Shan Zhu's arms.

Ye Chen was seriously injured this time, and he was in a coma for more than half a month before waking up.As soon as he opened his eyes, Ye Chen saw people around his bed, parents Ye Zhanlong, Yun Yuner, Shanzhu, Qingcheng, Jingxin, Han Xue, Ling Hexin, and Ye Chen also noticed that there was blood outside the door, Longwu, Longxin, Wei Piaopiao, Ning Nannan and the others seemed to have been waiting for Ye Chen to wake up.

"Xiaochen!" Han Xue, who was sitting by the bed, was the first to notice that Ye Chen had woken up, and rushed over to hug Ye Chen in surprise, her voice choked up.

"elder brother!"

"woke up!"

"Master, how are you?"

Ye Zhanlong and the others were also overjoyed, and surrounded Ye Chen's bed one after another.

"Everyone is here." Ye Chen smiled weakly and wanted to sit up. "Don't move around, you are still very weak now." Qingcheng said quickly.

"Come on, go and invite Yao Lao and Princess Taiping!" Jing Xin shouted outside the door.

Immediately a maid came down outside the door, and Remnant Blood and others rushed in. Seeing Ye Chen woke up, they let out a sigh of relief, but hurriedly saluted Ye Chen.

"You don't need to do this in private. If you really want to say it, Yulong is the Emperor Yulong." Ye Chen said with a smile, motioning everyone to get up, "How long have I been in a coma?"

"More than half a month, thanks to Yaosou, otherwise you would have died by now!" Jing Xin rolled his eyes at Ye Chen and said, "I think you are not willing to give up your life, are you?"

Ye Chen chuckled, but also knew that Jing Xin was caring about herself.

"How is Magic Dragon Continent? Has anything happened recently?" Ye Chen asked again.

"Xianyue Xianshan has been suppressed. The seven patriarchs were killed by Emperor Shitian. The elders of Xieyue Xianshan died and were injured. Most of the disciples fled to the East China Sea. Yulong said that the poor should not be chased. The Dragon King of the East China Sea was not allowed to lead troops to encircle and suppress them, but they were still seriously injured, and their current strength was not even as good as that of Guishui Fudi. The Nine Sects of the Magic Dragon lost another one. He guards." Jing Xin said.

"Natural disasters and man-made disasters are still happening. More and more forces, large and small, are raising their troops to establish a country, trying to separate the Huanlong Continent and annex the surrounding forces. Yulong has adopted the method of offering rewards to deal with them. The major sects will rehabilitate and successfully suppress the rebellion. Those who are in the army can be named county kings or city lords according to their merits."

The method of Yulong is still good. Originally, the Magic Dragon Continent was divided and managed by the princes of the eight directions, with two princes in each state, and Zhongzhou was controlled by the Yulong Palace. The county kings dispatch city lords to the cities in their respective fiefs.

In terms of management, each county king can have 20 military power in his hands, while the princes can have [-] military power in their hands. The city lord has no military power and can only form his own personal guard army. thousand.The city owner must obey the dispatch of the county king, and pay a certain amount of tribute to the county king every year, while the county king must obey the dispatch of the princes, and pay the tribute to the princes, and finally the princes pay the annual tribute to Yulong Palace, which is filled into the capital. The treasury is used to govern the Magic Dragon Continent.

But there is a disadvantage in this way, that is, the power of the princes from all directions is too great. The county kings and city lords in the fief are firmly in their hands. The Dragon Continent became eight empires, controlled by the Eight Illusory Dragon Sects, who recruited troops to strengthen themselves, but Ye Chen had no choice. After all, if he abdicated, he would have no identity to stand up and interfere in these matters.

If the monarchs of the eight empires are all Mingjun, then it's okay, anyway, didn't Bai Fengyun also have a Fengyun Empire before.But if a faint tyrant appears in the eight empires, the Magic Dragon Continent will start killing again, competing for interests and territory, and setting off a war bigger than the battle of slaughtering gods.

And if Yulong does this, it will be able to weaken the rights of the princes from all directions to a certain extent. For example, if a second-rate force suppresses many rebels, its suzerain or patriarch can be named a county king and have land and military power.Originally, the Magic Dragon Continent consisted of thirty counties on five continents, each state had six counties, and each county had [-] to [-] cities.

Yulong is now distributing this right and setting up a few more counties. For example, the fiefdom of each prince has changed from three counties to six counties, and then three county kings will be added under each prince. The city lords of relatively large cities are replaced, so that the military power in the hands of the princes can be reduced.

Now each of the princes of the eight directions has 20 military power in his hands, and if he gives 11 military power to each of the three county kings in his fief, he still has 20 military power in his hands.And if there are six counties, the 12 military power in the hands of the princes will be divided into six shares. Even if the military power of each county king changes from [-] to [-], here will be [-] military power, and only [-] troops will be left in the hands of the princes. Wan's military power.

In addition, the city lords in the relatively large cities in each county are not controlled by the county king. At that time, they will form a party under the county king for personal gain, and they will have certain strengths. The county king will suppress these forces, and it will become mutual restraint.

In this way, if Ye Chen abdicates, he will first take back the military power in the hands of the princes and county kings, and disband the army. The military power in the hands of the city lord is relatively small, and with the suppression of the county king, no matter how much the power expands, it will not become too large. When Ye Chen abdicated, no matter whether he was a feudal lord, a county king, or a city lord, he could only go back to his own home and find his own mother.

At most, it is just a few more powerful second-rate sects in Huanlong Continent. These second-rate sects will not pose a threat to Huanlong Continent, and their status will be the same as that of Hanhai King before.In this way, after Ye Chen abdicates, Huanlong Continent can return to its state before Tushenliangjie. Even if there are one or two heroes who can raise troops and establish a country under such circumstances, they will at most be similar to Fengyun Empire, or even worse. Go to the original Fengyun Empire.

"As for natural disasters, Yulong entrusted the task of disaster relief to the princes of the eight directions, and then the Yulong Palace allocated a part of the money. The princes of the eight directions must rescue the victims in their fiefdoms. Nirvana-level powerhouses control part of the natural power of the heavens and the earth, and the disaster situation is temporarily under control." Jing Xin continued.

The taxes collected from the people of the Huanlong Continent will naturally be used on the people of the Huanlong Continent. Ye Chen will not embezzle a vitality pill in the treasury of the Yulong Palace, and the princes of all directions will never imagine filling their pockets and collecting layers upon layers. The tax money that comes up will go to their respective sects!
To put it bluntly, Ye Chen is a coolie. When Ye Chen is the emperor of Yulong, he can't deduct his own food from the tribute tax. He can either use it from the Yulongzong, or use the gifts and gifts sent by the princes along with the tribute tax. Gift money, these things are given to Emperor Yulong, not to Yulong Palace, Ye Chen can use it or not.

The tribute tax collected every year is used to distribute food and salaries to the army and salaries to the civil and military officials of Yulong Palace, and the rest is stored in the treasury for disaster relief or building cities and so on.The same is true for the princes of the eight directions. The military salaries of their troops have to be deducted from the tribute they leave every year, and they have no salary.

However, the princes from all over the world are better than Ye Chen. They can keep [-]% of the tribute tax paid by each county in their fief, and [-]% of it must be used to pay their respective soldiers and horses, and to the officials under their command. As for the salaries, [-]% is kept in the treasury for disaster relief, city construction, etc., and the other [-]% is left to their own disposal, whether it is handed over to the sects behind them, or kept for squandering, Ye Chen will not care.

The same is true of the county king, while the city lord is on a salary.Regarding taxation, Ye Chen also has strict regulations to prevent excessive taxes and heavy taxes. If such a situation is discovered, the official will be dismissed at the slightest, and even executed at the worst!

"Where's Huang Tian's puppet? Is there any movement?" Ye Chen nodded, quite satisfied with Yulong's series of actions.

"No." Ye Zhanlong took over the words and said, "After the Huangtian puppet was born, there has been no movement until now. The Tianji Hall and Tianxing Pavilion of our sect have been paying close attention to the Huanlong Continent, but they have not found a trace of Huangtian puppet's hiding place. clue."

Ye Chen squinted his eyes when he heard this, and kept reasoning and guessing in his mind, trying to figure out what Huang Tian's puppet was planning, or what Qi was planning.

"Ye Chen, Qi said there is still the last chess piece, isn't it Gongziya?" Just as Ye Chen was concentrating on thinking, Jing Xin suddenly asked from the side.

"No." Ye Chen squinted his eyes and said, "If I'm not wrong, Qi's last move is probably on Huang Tian's body. Of course, it can't be ruled out that it will be on Murong Xiu's body, but the possibility is smaller. .”

Everyone was stunned when they heard the words, and looked at each other for a moment, and finally Qingcheng asked with some worry: "Doesn't that mean that if you get Qi out, you have to kill Huang Tian's puppet first?"

"Yeah." Ye Chen nodded, "Also, after I recover from my injury, I plan to hand over the matter of the Magic Dragon Continent to Yulong, and set off to find Xiaoyaotian in the outer void."

"Are you going to find Xiaoyaotian?" Qingcheng was stunned when he heard the words, "That's the place where the Dragon King of Xiaoyao Shen lives.

"Do you know the Dragon King of Xiaoyao Shen?" Ye Chen was also taken aback, looking up at Qingcheng.

He knew that Qingcheng's first life was the Dragon King Bhajara, a dragon king during the reign of the dragons, and the second life was called the Nine Yin Demon Emperor, also known as the Candle Dragon, the Holy King Realm Demon King during the reign of monsters. The third life is called Qingcheng. After breaking through the Void Realm, he lived 33 days away, that is, in the void outside the territory. He opened up a space and rarely appeared in the Magic Dragon Continent.

Since Qingcheng was also a dragon king during the period of Shenlong rule, it is expected that he would have some contact with the rest of the dragon kings. You must know that it is extremely difficult for a strong person in the holy king realm to break through. In the later period, there were only ten or twenty dragon kings at most, and there were only six of them left in the Huangtianliang Tribulation. Ye Chen could call them by name. After all, he almost relied on their dragon jade all the way. To improve cultivation.
