Chapter 600 Changes in the Upper Camp

The mere appointment of Meng Qi as the Chief Situ actually means selecting the most capable person, because he is not a nobleman, nor was he recommended by an official. Therefore, after King Chen officially announced it, the Chief Situ Kong Gongyang Zeng, the Chief Kou Tianheng and others all He expressed his opposition unabashedly, but King Chen was very determined and did not waver at all, forcing the matter to pass.

Then, he asked Meng Qi to come out and announce and explain the new national policy as the chief situ.

Meng Qi took a breath, quickly went through all the previous discussions and his own considerations, slowly walked out of the official team, and stood at the foot of the steps.

Just when he was about to speak, another official came out, it was Tian Guang.

He first bowed to King Chen, then looked at Meng Qi: "I have something to ask Da Situ."

The language was not respectful, just like most of the nobles present.

Meng Qi deliberately looked back at King Chen, and when he saw him gently nodding, indicating that he should use his eloquence to deal with the questions and try to persuade as many nobles as he could, just like how he persuaded him in the first place, he smiled and said: "It's okay to say it, doctor."

At this time, Tian Guang and Meng Qi were less than five steps apart, and their energy was entangled with each other.

Tian Guang looked directly at Meng Qi and spoke slowly: "I wonder if Master Situ has ever heard about the affairs of the Wu Kingdom in the south?"

Meng Qi was stunned: "I would like to hear the details."

When he sensed it, King Chen was also confused. It seemed that the Tian family, which had a close relationship with the Chu State, had obtained exclusive information from there.

Tian Guang smiled calmly and said: "The king of Wu selected talents regardless of their status. He appointed Wu Hao, an idle mountain man, abolished fiefdoms, adopted food towns, established counties, and praised military merits. This aroused fierce opposition, and Wu fell into civil war and foreign invasion. , In ten days, this news will be known to everyone, I wonder how the Great Situ will view this matter?"

What do you think of this? Meng Qi's current mood can only be described as "fuck". Is this the rhythm of a Legalist saint? Or which reincarnation person was lucky enough to be drawn to the Legalist family when accepting the mission?

But he was so direct from the beginning, leaving no room for buffering. No wonder he encountered a fierce counterattack!

Meng Qi made eye contact with Jiang Zhiwei and others, and felt that Wu Hao was very likely to be a reincarnation, and there was probably a small team behind him to support him.

This is not surprising. After the first death mission, the Lord of Six Paths of Reincarnation mentioned that it is entirely possible to encounter other teams in non-camp confrontation missions. As for cooperation, fighting, or just passing by each other, it all depends Own.

Wu State is separated from Chu and Tang by several relatively small countries. Meng Qi has no interest in provoking Wu Hao. He believes that Wu Hao, who is suffering from internal and external troubles, will do the same.

It's outrageous that someone who has drawn such a good lottery from the Legal family can still play like this... Meng Qi couldn't help but sneered, if it weren't for the fact that King Wu is one of the few strong men in the world. There are many strong soldiers who are loyal to him. Wu Hao and the others may have failed long ago in their reforms, but unlike now, they are still struggling to hold on and slowly gain the upper hand.

Maybe they dared to do this just because they liked King Wu's strength?

And in order to unify the world, King Wu sought a way to condense the Dharmakaya from human nature?

After hearing this news, King Chen also changed his color slightly. Is Tian Guang using the incident of Wu State to exhort or even warn?

While Meng Qi was running through many thoughts in his mind, Tian Guang took a step forward and said in a deep voice:

"What does Great Situ think of this matter?"

He changed from his calm and superior attitude just now and became aggressive.

Meng Qi quickly sorted out his thoughts and was about to answer when he suddenly saw Tian Guang's whole body glowing with blood, and he suddenly felt something bad in his heart.

The blood light quickly condensed on Tian Guang's right hand, and he slashed Meng Qi with the force of his sword!

This change happened in the blink of an eye. No one expected that Tian Guang would do such a thing in a gathering of powerful people. Even the Grand Master Chen Wang was unable to react in time.

How dare he directly assassinate someone in court?

Even if he succeeds, he will not be able to escape the wrath of King Chen, and he will surely die!

How decisive it is to risk your life completely to do this!

Tian Guang's body seemed to have shrunk, his eyes were full of martyrdom, and his expression was firm. He wielded the knife very fast, and with a flash of blood, he had already hit Meng Qi's left chest.

when!

The sound of gold and iron clashing erupted, Meng Qi stood peacefully, as steady as a mountain, and the place where his chest was struck emitted a faint golden light, showing no damage!

No damage? Tian Guang's eyes widened and he was horrified!

The "Secret Blood-Transforming Divine Sword" that he was taught by a stranger was useless to Su Mo!

Doesn't this sword technique claim that once struck by the sword, the gods will not be able to escape and will turn into blood instantly?

With his own strength, he didn't expect to be able to deal with a top master, but how could Su Mo ever have the strength of a top master?

He is also a decisive person. In a second thought, he got rid of the shock, the inner scene trembled, and the acupoints all over his body retracted, and he was about to self-destruct directly, looking for a way to perish together.

At this moment, Meng Qi moved his shoulders, exerted force on his waist and hips, and his chest collided with Tian Guang's hand!

boom!

Tian Guang was directly knocked away, with constant clicking sounds. When he hit the pillar reinforced by the secret method and fell to the ground, his right hand was already hanging limply, his chest was completely sunken, and blood spurted out of his mouth, as if he had been hit hard by a giant hammer. Flesh!

Eighty-Nine Mysterious Skills, every part of the body is like a treasure weapon!

When Meng Qi reached the third level of heaven, there were not many protective doors left on Meng Qi's appearance. Only the front and back of his body and the center of his brows. In fact, the mouth orifices also count, because if he is hit, it is easy for force to penetrate into his internal organs, which are relatively soft and not as good as muscles. skin.

Of course, when Meng Qi attains the immortal Dharmakaya, his whole body will be clear and the inside and outside will be consistent!

"Evil son!" Before King Chen could take action, Tian Heng slapped Tian Guang, looking extremely shocked.

Tian Guang accepted it calmly and stared at Meng Qi:

"You fallen descendants of the immortal gods, who violated the rites and laws of the nobles and commoners, must not die well!"

"You fallen descendants of the immortal gods, who violated the rites and laws of the nobles and commoners, must not die well!" Tian Guang had died at the hands of his father, but his voice echoed, extremely generous, which made Meng Qi's eyelids twitch slightly, making him seem to be the righteous side, calmly facing the national crisis!

Humph, ignorant and conservative remnants that have been rolled over by the wheels of history! Meng Qi thought to himself.

The hall was silent, and you could hear a pin drop. What happened just now happened so fast that most of the strong men had not yet sorted out their thoughts.

However, Tian Guang's cry before his death drilled into their ears, making them feel a little self-pity, the rabbit died and the fox mourned!

Tian Heng stepped forward, bowed and confessed his guilt, saying that he had not taught his son well.

King Chen was furious, but he could not involve the Tian family in this matter. He could only dismiss Tian Heng from the position of the Grand Sikou and said that he would thoroughly investigate the matter.

Then, he let Tian Guang's body lie there and let Meng Qi continue what he had just done.

Under the double shock of corpses and anger, the nobles were suppressed. They could only listen to Meng Qi's announcement of the new national policy and look at him with strange eyes.

He could actually use his chest to hit Tian Guang's palm knife?

He also hit Tian Guang as if he was hit by a precious weapon!

This is simply a wild beast in human form!

Taking advantage of this sudden incident, Meng Qi raised his own momentum and wanted to shock the nobles and let them choose to avoid the limelight in a short period of time. When the benefits begin to appear, things will be much easier.

The new national policies were announced one by one, all of which the nobles had heard of, but at the end, Meng Qi said in a deep voice:

"The king has ordered that anyone who collects taxes at customs will be killed without guilt!"

"Killing without guilt?" The court officials and nobles could not hide their astonishment.

What kind of strange order is this?

Soon, they came to their senses. Some thought that the little tricks they had prepared might not be useful, while others stood out in anger: "Grand Tutor, once this law is implemented, Chen State will be in chaos. What if some unscrupulous people attack and kill those guarding the pass and falsely accuse them of collecting taxes at the pass?"

Meng Qi was well prepared and said loudly: "Most of the checkpoints will be abolished, leaving only the border fortresses and city gates. They should avoid private contact with merchants. If there is no private contact, there must be circumstantial evidence. If all the circumstantial evidence is gone, the matter is still unclear?"

He paused and said: "In the past, there was a law: 'If you encounter bandits, you can kill them.' This matter is the same. How it was solved before, it will be solved now."

There are many officers and soldiers in this world who really act as bandits and rob money. How to distinguish similar things in the past can also be done now.

The opposing court officials raised questions one by one, and Meng Qi refuted them calmly. In addition, the nobles' momentum was suppressed by the incident just now, and the new national policy was successfully implemented. Most of the nobles planned to avoid the limelight first, cancel the checkpoints for a period of time, and then secretly connect and look for opportunities to make trouble.

…………

One month later.

A Chu caravan entered Shangying City. The number of people was not large, but the aura was not weak. The traces left by the carriage were also heavy. Obviously, the goods were valuable.

Of course, the most valuable items were in the mustard ring of the leader. If there were strong people from the outside, these goods would be traded by them. After all, they could fly, be flexible and free, and not easily encounter accidents. However, with the current situation in Shangying, there are all kinds of goods. Strong people from the outside are also willing to choose to trade here, at most secretly, without paying market taxes.

"A few months later, Shangying is really much more lively." The leader looked around and saw people rubbing shoulders on the street, and caravans were everywhere, no less than Anjiang, the capital of Chu.

His son laughed and said, "Eight or nine out of ten are here to avoid collecting customs taxes. I don't know what King Chen is thinking, he actually cut off his own financial resources. Hey, it's good for us anyway. This trip can save more than half of the expenses!"

His father stroked his goatee and said, "Those who collect customs taxes are innocent if they are killed... I'm afraid King Chen has other intentions..."

As he walked forward, he found that the goods in Shangying were more than doubled than before, and he had some other guesses about abolishing customs taxes.

This seems to be similar to his own small profits but quick turnover, and King Chen's benefits are probably not that great.

Mo family Su Mo is really talented!

"Father, all the inns are full!" His son returned from the front.

"Full?" The leader frowned and asked.

His son nodded heavily and sighed, "It is said that the number of merchants passing through the Chen State route has increased several times, where are there any extra guest rooms?"

Several times...The leader tasted the unusualness of abolishing customs taxes more and more.

Just as he was about to speak, an old man came over and said with a flattering smile: "Dear guests, I have a yard at home, which can be rented to you for temporary stay."

Is this possible? The merchants were all surprised. Ordinary people also run inns for a living?

"Thank you for your kindness, old man. Why don't you take us to have a look? If it is clean and fresh, the price can be negotiated." The leader said in a deep voice.

"Okay." The old man said happily, leading them to turn into the nearby street and enter an ordinary house. Although it is not big and there are not many rooms, it is very neat and clean, which does not make people disgusted.

"The guards live in the yard, and the remaining houses are enough..." His son looked around and whispered.

The leader nodded, took out a small ingot of gold, and handed it to the old man: "It is inconvenient to use copper coins when you are away from home. Please don't despise it, old man. This thing will be used as collateral first, and it will be settled when you leave."

The old man took the gold and said with a smile: "Let me ask someone to take a look."

Ask someone? The merchants were surprised. The old man ran out of the house and pulled over a patrolling expert on the street, asking him to identify the authenticity of the gold. The man politely did so.

The leader followed behind, dumbfounded. Normally, most officials are nobles, and they are born with their duties. How can they work hard? They just muddle through the day. But what I saw in Shangying today is completely different. Not only are they active in catching thieves, but they don’t even shirk responsibility for irrelevant matters!

Is this the selection of talents?

After settling the merchants, the old man returned to the firewood room, where their family is temporarily living.

Looking at the small ingot of gold, the old man’s son was stunned for a moment: "This is really, really possible..."

He has always opposed changing his home into a temporary inn.

The old man laughed and said, "How can it be wrong for the Grand Tutor to personally instruct me?"

In order to accumulate merit, Meng Qi did good things in his spare time, such as taking the opportunity of inspection to instruct the people how to seize opportunities to make money.

As he spoke, the old man sighed: "Since the arrival of the Grand Tutor, our lives have become better and better. Even the Gao brothers, who beg for a living, know how to go to the mountains to collect horse grass to make up for the lack of horse feed in the inn. Now at least we don't have to go hungry for three meals a day."

"People on the street say that the Grand Tutor is a saint who has come down to earth, and they all call him Mozi and Suzi." His daughter-in-law interrupted.

…………

In a room, dots of black and white and golden light lingered around Meng Qi and others.

Since the new national policy was successfully implemented, the aura of merit and morality began to increase, and the way of heaven has "reward"!

"It will be back in a few days." Zhao Heng sighed.

"The nobles have become much quieter. I'm afraid they are secretly connecting, accumulating strength, and preparing for a crazy counterattack." Meng Qi did not relax.

Although the saying that a scholar dies for his confidant is a bit too much, the attention of King Chen made Meng Qi and others hope to find an excuse to leave after laying a solid foundation, such as seriously injured and needing treatment, leaving Bai Song as the Grand Tutor to maintain the new policy.

…………

“My son has finally returned home.” “Grand Minister” Gong Yangzeng looked at the person in front of him and smiled, “Have the immortals of Jinguang Cave made a decision?”

The network is down, I’m a little late, sorry.
