The Great Qin: Starting with marrying Jingni, I began my quest for immortality.

Now, although they have moved from Snowcloth Fort to the General's Mansion.

However, given his past behavior, it's not surprising that he's been quiet for a while.

The King of Han was somewhat worried.

But now, he has already married his daughter Honglian to Bai Yifei and appointed Bai Yifei as the Grand General, so he can only entrust the heavy responsibility of protecting Han to Bai Yifei.

They didn't rush to send people to search for Bai Yifei's whereabouts.

Such behavior will only widen the gap between himself and Bai Yifei, making it seem as if he doesn't trust Bai Yifei.

Although the King of Han was muddleheaded, he was not so muddleheaded as to deliberately damage his relationship with the Grand General.

After Jiang Chuan returned, he first learned about Xin Zheng's recent situation from Yan Ling Ji. After learning that he was safe and sound, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. If possible, he did not want to give up the identity of Bai Yifei for the time being.

As for Ru Shuang, she has not yet returned.

This made Jiang Chuan somewhat worried.

He and Ru Shuang split up into two groups, one heading to Mount Shu and the other to the Taoist temple.

He and Zi Nu went to Mount Shu and successfully lifted the Yin-Yang curse seal.

Ru Shuang, however, was unaware of these matters. She went to the Taoist temple and has not returned to this day.

Although Taoism is different from Yin-Yang School, Jiang Chuan knows very well Ru Shuang's personality; she is actually quite extreme. He doesn't know what kind of trouble her going to Taoism will cause. Jiang Chuan decides to wait a while. If Ru Shuang still hasn't returned after a while, he will personally go to Taoism.

Even though the Yin-Yang School was also in the Qin State, not far from the Daoist School, he still had to go there.

Before waiting for Ru Shuang's return, another thing he did was to enter the palace as Bai Yifei to reassure King Han.

Chapter 231 The Beginning of the Reform

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Inside the palace, Jiang Chuan, disguised as Bai Yifei, was dressed in armor and exuded an imposing aura.

Upon seeing the visitor, the King of Han's tense mood finally eased. "General, there's no need for such formalities."

Heaven knows how happy the King of Han was after seeing the other party.

Although he had long known that Xueyi Hou Bai Yi was not aloof, the other party's current status was extraordinary. He was a general of the State of Han, with the responsibility of presiding over the court and deterring all villains. Normally, he was required to attend court every time there was a court assembly.

The results of it?

Bai Yifei cut him off for several months straight.

Fortunately, he was quite tolerant of Bai Yifei.

If it were an ordinary person, the King of Han would have been furious long ago.

Even so, the fact that the general had not appeared for several months still made the King of Han worried. If other countries knew about this, would they think that their new general had also died suddenly and prepare to attack Han?

Even though the most powerful state of Han has established friendly relations with Qin by sending Han Fei to Qin as an envoy and hostage, Han is located in a strategically important area surrounded by four states: Zhao, Wei, and Chu, in addition to Qin.

Among these countries, even Zhao and Wei, which were repeatedly invaded by Qin, were inferior to Han, not to mention the powerful Chu in the south. King Han was genuinely afraid of those countries invading Han, and he did not want to go to war.

Wouldn't it be better for countries to coexist peacefully?

This is the truest thought in the heart of the King of Han.

Jiang Chuan sensed the change in King Han's emotions and apologized to him, explaining that he had recently reached a bottleneck in his martial arts cultivation and was eager to break through, which was why he had been in seclusion for so long.

He won't stay out of the public eye for so long anymore.

After hearing Jiang Chuan's explanation, King Han was stunned for a moment, then his face lit up with joy.

"The General's martial arts have broken through, this is a good thing!"

The King of Han quickly replied that this was his opinion.

Why was Ji Wuye hailed as the strongest general in Korea in the last century? Besides his ability to lead troops into battle, his personal strength was also incredibly powerful, allowing him to roam freely on the battlefield.

Blood-Clad Marquis Bai Yifei was also such a person, which is why King Han entrusted him with an important task.

Now, Bai Yifei's strength has improved again, which means that he now has even greater strength to protect South Korea and protect him.

After meeting with King Han in the palace and reassuring him, Jiang Chuan returned to the General's Mansion. Then, under the identity of Bai Yifei, he met with many officials from the Grand General's faction and members of the Nightfall organization.

Having not appeared for so long, it's not just King Han who's nervous.

Many members of the general's faction, as well as those from the Nightfall faction, were equally tense.

Jiang Chuan didn't mind spending some time trying to reassure these people.

Only by reassuring these people could he proceed with the subsequent preparations.

change!

Initially, Jiang Chuan only wanted to usurp Bai Yifei's identity and obtain cultivation resources to enhance his own strength.

After his trip to Mount Shu and after hearing Zi Nu's words, he gradually came to understand some things.

The saying goes, "When you achieve success, you should help others throughout the world."

Since I have that ability, why can't I try to make some changes and give many poor people a way to survive?

He himself rose from poverty on the border of the State of Wei.

Therefore, he was well aware of how miserable the lives of ordinary people were under the constant war, natural disasters, and man-made calamities.

In South Korea, the situation is even worse for the people.

Aside from the effects of war and natural disasters, the rampant corruption among officials is the real reason for the suffering of the lower classes in Korea. Various levies and exorbitant taxes are nominally imposed by the King of Korea, but how much of that tax money actually ends up in the King's pocket and the national treasury is anyone's guess. Well, that's not entirely true; Jiang Chuan does know.

Who told him to become the new Grand General of South Korea under the identity of Bai Yifei? Besides, he also controlled the night.

He could give an exact figure: of all the taxes levied, only 30% went into the pocket of the King of Han.

Then, 50% went into Ji Wuye's pocket, and the remaining 20% ​​was divided among the officials, which could be considered as a benefit given to them by Ji Wuye.

Therefore, it is not difficult to understand why Han Fei wanted to get rid of Ji Wuye.

Now, as the one who replaced Ji Wuye, Jiang Chuan is prepared not to take his 50% share of the taxes.

Because he was already rich enough.

With the remaining wealth left by Ji Wuye and Bai Yifei, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were richer than a country.

The key point is that Jiang Chuan doesn't want to be a merchant. For him, money is enough as long as he has it. Of course, if he were to rebel, he could accumulate a lot of money and grain to lay the foundation for his rebellion.

However, Jiang Chuan did not have a high pursuit of power or money.

That's why he doesn't mind improving the lives of South Koreans at the bottom of society.

Perhaps the state of Han will still be destroyed by the state of Qin in the future, but at least some people will benefit. Why should the poor be the ones to suffer before the country is destroyed?

Can't we make those officials suffer a little?

time flies.

A while has passed since Jiang Chuan returned to South Korea, and Ru Shuang still hasn't come back. Jiang Chuan is very worried about Ru Shuang's situation.

However, in the South Korean court, he also began to stir up some trouble as Bai Yifei.

As a general, he reported many officials to the King of Han, accusing them of corruption, embezzlement, and misappropriation of taxes.

Upon hearing this, the King of Han was immediately enraged.

Those officials were immediately arrested and dealt with.

Jiang Chuan's actions also caused a great uproar in the imperial court.

This has caused many officials to feel uneasy.

Because the officials he reported were all pillars of Ji Wuye's faction. After Ji Wuye's death, they all sided with Bai Yifei. Earlier, when Bai Yifei emerged from seclusion, he met with these people. However, not long after, Bai Yifei investigated and dealt with them, betraying them.

Why on earth?

If it's about embezzling taxes, then Bai Yifei, who inherited everything from Ji Wuye, how good is that?

Many officials from the former General's faction were filled with fear and anxiety.

Some even speculate that Bai Yifei is planning to eliminate all of Ji Wuye's original team and then cultivate his own.

Only Jiang Chuan himself knew the reasons behind his actions.

Chapter 232 Ru Shuang Returns

If you want to bring about change, you absolutely cannot solve the problem by simply killing a few corrupt officials.

Specific reform measures need to be implemented and effective.

Why was the Qin state able to successfully implement reforms in the past?

Because Shang Yang and Duke Xiao of Qin were determined to offend everyone, the Qin state at that time had been weak for a long time. If it did not change its laws, it would be bullied by other states and even destroyed.

In order to make the Qin state stronger, Duke Xiao of Qin did not hesitate to eliminate all forces that were unwilling to cooperate with the reforms. This included not only the old families of Qin, but also the royal family.

Even so, during the process of Shang Yang's reforms, Shang Yang still offended many people. After Duke Xiao of Qin died, Shang Yang was directly purged and ultimately brought about his own downfall.

Even though he didn't do it properly, his law still remained.

This was also the foundation upon which the Qin state became powerful.
