As for South Korea, it's not that it hasn't undergone reforms. Shen Buhai, a fellow Legalist figure, once implemented reforms in South Korea, which made the country powerful for a time. Unfortunately, Shen Buhai's reforms were not thorough.

This left many problems in South Korea's political system. Both the monarch and the ministers were obsessed with power struggles. Their infighting only exacerbated the problems in South Korea, and the country failed to truly achieve its goal of becoming rich and powerful.

Jiang Chuan was not a Legalist; he didn't know how to reform the law. He only wanted to improve the lives of the lower classes in South Korea.

As for whether it will offend people?

He doesn't really care.

South Korea won't last many more years, and besides, he's not the real Bai Yifei. He'll just go straight to Kairun when things get bad.

Because of Bai Yifei, the King of Han executed a group of corrupt officials.

This caused many officials who had sided with Bai Yifei to feel uneasy.

The officials from Zhang Kaidi's faction also didn't understand what General Bai Yifei was doing.

These people used to be Ji Wuye's men. After Ji Wuye's death, they all submitted to Bai Yifei. But now Bai Yifei is taking the initiative to execute these people.

Is this self-destructive?

What exactly is Bai Yifei planning to do?

Amidst everyone's confusion, Jiang Chuan, in his capacity as Bai Yifei, proposed numerous reform measures.

Decisions such as reducing taxes and corvée labor and providing work relief.

It is also said that the root of South Korea's problems lies in the rampant corruption of officials, and those who were executed were one of them, but certainly not all of them.

After that, General Bai Yifei made many surprising remarks at each court assembly.

As time went on, the civil and military officials in the court finally understood what the Grand General was planning to do.

The general is preparing to implement reforms!

Upon realizing this, the entire court was utterly shocked.

They never expected that Bai Yifei, who succeeded Ji Wuye as the new Grand General, would have such ambitions and want to do such things.

Is it possible that even the position of a great general and marrying a princess cannot satisfy him?

Given South Korea's current situation, can it withstand legal reform?

It should be noted that after the Qin state's reforms, the six states east of the Qin state did attempt reforms, but the results were not very good.

However, they also had to admit that if Bai was not truly determined to reform, they would not be able to stop him.

Because in terms of status, Bai Yifei was already a Grand General, in charge of the entire Korean army. He held the most important military power, which meant that if they wanted to stop Bai Yifei's reforms, he might overturn the table at any time.

What else can they do?

There's nothing we can do but go along with it.

If Bai Yifei wants to reform, then let's help him reform.

In any case, they didn't want to suffer the same fate as those officials who were executed.

However, as it turns out, even if they obeyed Bai Yifei, they would hardly have a good ending. As long as their corrupt and illegal acts continued, what awaited them was Bai Yifei's accusation and the King of Han's edict to execute them.

This has caused many officials who have engaged in corruption to feel uneasy and indignant.

It's just a little bit of petty profit, isn't it?

Is it necessary to treat us like this?

Bai Yifei, if you want to change the law, then do it! We've helped you, haven't we? You actually reported and exposed us, as if you haven't been corrupt or lawless.

They did want to report Bai Yifei to the King of Han and drag him down with them, but they also knew that it was pointless.

Did the King of Han not know that Bai Yifei was corrupt and lawless?

know.

He actually knew about what Ji Wuye was doing back then.

But the King of Han didn't care; all he cared about was whether Bai Yifei would protect Han.

In an effort to win over Bai Yifei, he even married Princess Honglian to him.

Regardless of the complex feelings that the court officials had towards Bai Yifei because of his reform efforts, everyone was concerned.

The reform movement was indeed in full swing in South Korea.

Every day, corrupt officials are executed.

Every day, new measures to benefit the people are implemented.

Jiang Chuan also knew that even the best policies could still bring disaster to the country and its people if problems arose during their implementation. The most obvious example was Wang Anshi's reforms during the Song Dynasty. Although the original intention was good, problems arose during the implementation process, which made the lives of the lower classes even more difficult.

Therefore, he did not intend to implement too many measures to enrich the country and strengthen its military.

A simple reduction in taxes and levies would suffice.

In addition, provide some work-for-relief programs for the disaster victims, so that these people have more hope of survival.

Time flows slowly by.

At a time when South Korea is undergoing great changes.

Inside the general's mansion, as Jiang Chuan was teaching Yan'er to speak, a long-lost figure returned.

Like frost!

Several months later, she returned from the Taoist temple.

"Husband!"

Upon seeing Jiang Chuan, Ru Shuang was also very excited, but her expression soon turned somewhat somber.

"In Taoism, I have not found a way to break the Yin-Yang curse seal."

The Taoist master, though kind in attitude, did not teach her how to break the Yin-Yang curse seal. If he had come to Jiang Chuan's side in person, he might have been able to break it, but Ru Shuang was unable to persuade him.

She stayed at the Taoist temple for several months, trying to persuade that person, but unfortunately she failed in the end.

They could only return with a heavy heart and a sense of loss.

"Don't worry, I've already broken the Yin-Yang curse seal in Shu Mountain." Jiang Chuan noticed Ru Shuang's disappointed and distressed expression and spoke gently to her.

Ru Shuang was stunned upon hearing this, somewhat incredulous. "Really?"

"Really." Jiang Chuan nodded seriously.

Chapter 233 Unexpected, Yet Reasonable!

Ru Shuang thought that Jiang Chuan said those words to comfort her and to convince her.

Jiang Chuan could only loosen his clothes.

Seeing that the curse mark that had been entrenched on her husband's heart had completely disappeared, Ru Shuang finally believed what Jiang Chuan had said.

Then Jiang Chuan recounted his experiences in Mount Shu to Ru Shuang.

Upon learning that the legendary Shu Mountain clan was so hospitable, Ru Shuang couldn't help but feel a great curiosity about the clan.

Of course, what made Ru Shuang the happiest was that Jiang Chuan had resolved the Yin-Yang Curse Seal in Shu Mountain.

As long as the Yin-Yang Curse Seal remained on Jiang Chuan's body, she would worry about him constantly.

Although, according to Zi Nu, the Yin-Yang Curse that Jiang Chuan was afflicted with was not like the Six Souls Curse that would directly take his life, Ru Shuang still found it hard to accept the thought that her husband was about to become Donghuang Taiyi's puppet.

She felt very guilty.

If I had been stronger that day, my husband wouldn't have been able to have the Yin-Yang curse mark placed on him.

Of course, after her trip to the Taoist temple, she learned a lot from the old Taoist master and realized that even if she were stronger and became a grandmaster, she would not have been able to change the outcome.

Because that person's strength exceeded her expectations.

"Fortunately, my husband is unharmed."

Thinking of this, Ru Shuang's heart was filled with joy.

Jiang Chuan looked at Ru Shuang and said, "I have finished telling you about my experiences. Madam, you should also tell me about your experiences in Taoism. It seems that you have gained a lot from Taoism."

He couldn't help but scrutinize Ru Shuang.

During his trip to Mount Shu, he received a blessing from the Fusang Divine Tree, which expanded his foundation to an unprecedented level and made his strength advance by leaps and bounds. Although his realm was still at the Grandmaster level, his strength had long since exceeded the limits of the Grandmaster realm.

After Ru Shuang returned, he sensed the extraordinary aura emanating from her.

Without a doubt, through her Taoist journey, Ru Shuang also received tremendous good fortune.

Of course, since she had not been able to find a way to break the Yin-Yang curse, Ru Shuang was not very happy, and therefore had not brought it up earlier.

Now that she knew Jiang Chuan had broken the Yin-Yang Curse Seal, Ru Shuang was overjoyed. When Jiang Chuan asked her about this, she readily explained it to him.

She claimed that she defeated many Taoist disciples and successfully ascended to the Taoist Heavenly Sect. Thereupon, she met a master from the Heavenly Sect who called himself Bei Mingzi.

Ru Shuang did not recount the details of her encounters with numerous Taoist disciples.

But Jiang Chuan could vaguely guess some of it.

Ascending to the Taoist Heavenly Sect by defeating numerous Taoist disciples was clearly not a smooth process.

After all, Taoism is one of the Hundred Schools of Thought, and its strength is extremely formidable. Although Ru Shuang's strength is not weak, she is still not too strong when facing Taoism.
