Chapter 423 Secret Visit 2

After walking around the Xiuxian City for a few times, they found that there was really no problem with this prosperous city. The two left here and followed the main road to a mortal city.

Compared with the Xiuxian City, the mortal city was also prosperous, but there were many more wanderers.

Wang Nannan walked over to ask and found out that it was caused by the drought in the surrounding villages.

"No cultivators help to rain?" Wang Nannan asked. Many spiritual plant husbands mastered spells such as cloud and rain spells, so it was easy to make a little rain.

Besides, spiritual plant husbands are the inheritance that the Wang family has the most, and now it can cause drought.

Wang Nanjun was also a little embarrassed and immediately sent a message to the clan members in charge of this place.

A bloated clan member came in front of the two, his eyes dodging.

"There is a department in the family that specializes in regulating the climate, why is there a drought here?" Wang Nanjun said in a serious tone. Such a thing actually happened in the area he was responsible for.

The bloated clan member wanted to say something but stopped, and was scolded by Wang Nanjun again.

"A special spiritual plant was born nearby, absorbing all the water, so..."

"So you don't care about the lives of ordinary people?" Wang Nanjun was very angry. Many of the ordinary people were members of the Wang family, and now they have become wanderers.

"How long has it lasted? What is the scope of the drought?" Wang Nanjun continued to ask.

"The scope is 3,000 miles around, and it has lasted for two years." The bloated tribe member's tone was a little trembling.

Wang Nannan was curious. The spiritual plant that could cause such a large-scale drought should not be of low grade.

"Immediately arrange disaster relief and mobilize food and water from other places."

"While settling the victims, set up formations around the spiritual plant to isolate the outside world." Wang Nanjun ordered. If they continued, all the mortals nearby would die, which was absolutely not allowed.

The bloated tribe member immediately went to do it after receiving the order.

"When the disaster relief is over, none of these members who are idle will be able to escape, and they must be punished." Wang Nanjun was angry. There is a supervisory agency in the family. It seems that this supervisory agency will also be expanded and readjusted.

As the family develops, many things need to change. This needs to be done little by little, and there is no rush.

"Aren't you curious about that spiritual plant?" Wang Nanjun suddenly turned around and asked.

"Curious, but not in a hurry. If necessary, I will naturally know what that spiritual plant is." Wang Nannan replied with a smile. The two continued to wander, looking at the cracked earth. Ordinary plants were dried up and burnt yellow, the same color as the earth.

If a spark jumped into it, a fire would inevitably start in an instant.

But soon, the sky was covered with dark clouds. It was obvious that a strong man in the clan was raining.

The heavy rain was instantly swallowed by the land, nourishing it again, and letting the dormant seeds begin to rejuvenate.

Those wanderers were also sent back to their respective villages to start a new life.

"It seems that we don't pay enough attention to mortals!" Wang Nanjun thought, "Why don't we set up a Mortal Division to manage mortals in various places, involving all aspects."

"Okay." Wang Nannan agreed, "But it is still best for mortals to manage mortals. We cultivators have a very different way of thinking from mortals."

Wang Nanjun nodded, and was already thinking about the operation mode of the Mortal Division.

The two continued to walk, unknowingly walked out of the drought area, and entered a ravine.

Mortals are everywhere, even in such ravines, there are mortal villages.

The two found a family and asked for a bowl of water.

"Old man, how is the harvest?" Wang Nannan asked casually.

The cultivated land on the mountain is full of crops.

"The harvest is good, the weather is good, we have been practicing martial arts since childhood, we are all strong and strong, and we are not lacking in strength."

"After paying the taxes, it is enough for the family to eat." The old man said happily. Their family are all martial artists, they are strong, but they can eat, they are already very satisfied.

"What is the tax rate?" Wang Nannan asked.

"Grain is taxed at 10%, poultry is taxed at 8%, and there are other miscellaneous items." The old man replied.

"What are these taxes used for?" Wang Nannan turned around and spread the word.

Wang Nanjun thought for a while and said, "Paying wages, building new mortal cities and roads, repairing infrastructure, etc."

Wang Nannan thought for a moment and transmitted the voice, "Are all mortal taxes like this?"

"No, it is determined by the environment and crop types of different regions, the density of people, etc." Wang Nanjun replied.

"Why don't we discuss with the clan and cancel the taxes on mortals? Of course, not all of them can be canceled. For families with relatively small scale, agricultural tax and poultry tax can be canceled, as well as some other miscellaneous taxes."

"As for the large-scale ones, continue to collect them, but they can also be reduced moderately."

"The family should focus on taxes on business and cultivation." Wang Nannan suggested that if these taxes can be reduced, ordinary mortal families can live a little easier. The extra gains can be converted into silver and invested in consumption, which can boost the economy and business taxes.

"After returning, I will call the clan members to discuss this matter." Wang Nanjun took note.

Wang Nannan asked the old man again, "Where did you learn your skills and martial arts?"

The old man: "There are schools outside, and children will be sent there to read and write, and they will be trained from a young age. When they reach the age to test their spiritual roots, those with spiritual roots will cultivate immortals, and those without spiritual roots will practice martial arts. The school will teach some basic martial arts."

"What about the tuition?"

"You can study and write for free in the first three years, but you need to pay for martial arts training yourself." The old man replied.

The two were very satisfied with the coverage of the school. Not only are there branches of Tianyuan College in various places in the Dakang Dynasty, but there are even more in the Minghai Xiuxian Realm, and even a three-level training system of primary, middle and high levels has been formed.

"Can the cost of laying the foundation and practicing martial arts in the junior college be waived?" Wang Nannan sent a voice message again. The three years of the junior school are mainly about reading, literacy and laying the foundation. Now the Wang family has waived the cost of studying, but laying the foundation requires a lot of medicinal materials and equipment, which costs a lot of silver. For ordinary mortals, it is quite stressful.

Especially under the policy of the Wang family calling for more births and more children, each family has many children, which further increases the burden on the family.

"This cost is not small! Equipment is easy to say, each academy is equipped uniformly, and everyone can use it."

"But the consumption of medicinal materials is very terrifying. You have to know that there are a lot of mortals in the Minghai Xiuxian Realm." Wang Nanjun has some disagreements on this point.

"It doesn't need to be free for all, just let the descendants of the Wang family do it for free, which can also increase the probability of the Wang family's mortals finding a spouse." Wang Nannan replied.

"If that's the case, it does work. Ordinary medicinal materials can just let the spirit plant husband induce birth a few more times." Wang Nanjun agreed.
