come to the heavens

To unify the world, Ye Chen began to implement his own plan, and began to drastically weaken the powerful families in various places, suppressing what should be suppressed, even the Dugu Clan and the Song Clan.

Of course, the circumstances of these two families are special, and he can't go too far for the sake of seeing Dugufeng and Song Yuzhi, not just for the sake of the two supporting him.

For these two families, the military power must be taken away first, this is not negotiable, and then the land must be remeasured, not all taken away like other big clans, but the privately hidden land must be spit out, the two families are only on the bright side There are 10,000+ acres of private land on the Internet, and there are probably many more that have not been registered in private. These private fields must be handed over.

Yang Jian and Yang Guang have done what Ye Chen did, but unfortunately they don’t have enough power to suppress those big landlords and nobles, but he is different. Whenever the founding king of a dynasty is the most authoritative, he is even more powerful, and his force is invincible. , and after a change of dynasty, the most powerful and ambitious clans have been wiped out, and the remaining strength has been greatly reduced, and they are no longer able to compete with him. This land policy can only be implemented slowly.

He is not exactly like the later generations, nor can he copy the later generations. He just gives ordinary civilians a little more opportunities and makes ordinary civilians live better.

In this era, the requirements of common people are really low. As long as they can survive, no one will be full to support them to rebel. When they rebel, they will not be able to survive.

In addition to land reform, Ye Chen's second major policy is the problem of official corruption, which is more difficult than the previous one, and it is difficult to cure it.

Ye Chen is not a god and he can't think of a cure, he can only find a way to cure it.

He thought of a simple solution, which was to disperse power and establish a sound supervision mechanism. For example, in a county, the county magistrate is in charge of the administrative work of a county, but he no longer has the power to adjudicate the case. The investigation and trial will be handed over to the county magistrate. The Ministry of Punishment is directly in charge, the county soldiers and the township militia in various places are managed by county lieutenants, and the Ministry of War is directly in charge. These three official positions, county magistrate and county lieutenant, are at the same level as county lieutenant, and county magistrate is half a level higher, but they have no command jurisdiction and are independent of each other.

In addition, each level of locality also has a supervisory censor to supervise the various places. The supervisory censor is independent of the locality. No one has the right to command and is only responsible to the emperor.

In order to better strengthen the centralization of power, Ye Chen activated the Jinyiwei department, which is similar in size to the Ming Dynasty. It is divided into four major township divisions in the southeast, northwest, and north. will wait for the function.The leader is still called Jin Yiwei Commander, who is a female official trusted by the emperor in the palace and is directly responsible to the emperor.

2 Chapter Seventy

Considering the notoriety of the Jinyiwei in the Ming Dynasty, Ye Chen restricted the power of his Jinyiwei. He could no longer arrest anyone at will, but the Jinyiwei of different levels directly arrested people of a certain status, and the interrogation was open, but no one could be arrested. People interfered with the interrogation.

In this way, although Jin Yiwei still has so much power, it is not as terrible as the Jin Yiwei of the Ming Dynasty, and it is more controlled.

In addition to these, Ye Chen also reset and enacted the laws, amending the laws that are too inclined to the rich and easily arouse public anger, and at the same time gradually established schools at the township level, allowing children to study, breaking the monopoly of the nobles on knowledge, so that poor families can also have progress. Chance.

In addition, the power of military generals is restricted, and the country is divided into seven major military regions. The generals of each military region are changed every few years, and each general has to retire when he reaches a certain age. The army has been in the army for too long. If you turn this army into a private army, if you continue to mobilize it, the general will have to leave after a short time in a military region. It is difficult to convert an army into a private army, which can greatly reduce the ambition of the general. Even if a general dared to rebel, his subordinates would not listen to him.

After doing all this, Ye Chen also made the most important decision, that is, no longer respecting Confucianism alone, but it does not mean abandoning Confucianism. It is undeniable that Confucianism is a very suitable school for rulers, but respecting Confucianism alone is not enough. It is not conducive to the country and the nation, and other schools of thought must be used to check and balance so that one family does not dominate.

Like in real history, Confucianism itself was very good, but it was only because Confucianism was the only school in the past that there was no competition from other schools, so that the literati group was unprecedentedly strong, just like the Song Dynasty suppressed the warriors too much, fooled the people, and made the nation weak and invaded by foreigners.

In the Ming Dynasty, the literati group was even more crazy. The famous Tumu Fortress Change was a defeat on the surface, but the deeper meaning was the game between the literati group and the founding meritorious group of the Ming Dynasty. When it comes to the fate of the country, not only the Emperor Yingzong was captured in that battle, but also the nobles who made great contributions to the founding of the Ming Dynasty were wiped out, all of them were wiped out, and then the literati dominated.

In the later period, the Donglin Party became more monopolistic, which harmed the country and the people. The literati and Confucians who were usually righteous and awe-inspiring immediately shaved off their hair, braided their pigtails and knelt down as new masters after entering the Qing Dynasty.

Every time he saw this, Ye Chen was very angry, and he was powerless to change anything. Now he has an opportunity to weaken Confucianism without hesitation.

First of all, the descendants of Confucius were deprived of all privileges. If the title is not stripped, they will still serve the emperor, which is the same as hereditary, but they will no longer have all privileges.

He has opinions on Confucianism, but he still respects Confucius, the first teacher. Confucius' Confucianism was originally good, but it was only used by later generations of literati.

Then, he made a decree to revive the hundred schools of thought, and hoped that the hundreds of schools of thought in the Spring and Autumn Period would still be handed down, and vigorously supported them to reproduce the grand occasion of the contending schools of thought.

Of course, this is estimated to be a long time later. Ye Chen spread the decree to the world first, planting a seed first, and reaping it later.

After completing these key tasks, he didn't care about the rest. He delegated his powers and formed a cabinet to help him handle government affairs. The first batch of cabinet members consisted of only ten members. Mausoleum, Dugu Peak, and Earth Sword Song Zhi will be added as appropriate in the future, but that's all for now.

Ye Chen will limit the power of the generals in the army, but will not suppress them in particular. The status of the soldiers is still very high. There are two generals in the cabinet, namely Zhang Ling and the Minister of the Ministry of War.

With the help of the cabinet to deal with the administrative affairs, he would be free to work in the harem every day, and occasionally take the harem concubines out for outings and do some shameful things.

After his hard work, all the concubines were finally killed by him one after another, especially when Fan Qinghui confirmed that she was pregnant, he was finally relieved and relieved, as long as she was born, the task was completely completed.

There are still several months before the opening of the Temple of War God. During this period, Wusheng Sword Master came to him again. The two decided to act together at that time. Ye Chen went out for a long trip and began to retreat when he came back.

In a large underground palace deep underground in the imperial palace, Ye Chen sat on a stone platform in the center of the underground palace. The surrounding air was a bit cold, and the occasional breeze blowing across his face from the vent felt very comfortable. He looked straight ahead and said in a low voice:

"Destiny!"

As soon as the voice fell, the long-lost attribute and ability panel unfolded. The bottom of a series of martial arts is the potential point.

Taking a deep breath, he said in a deep voice:

"promote!"

In the next second, the massive potential points disappeared, turned into an invisible flame and exploded in his body, permeating every inch of his bones and muscles like a pervasive water flow, and began to burn impurities in his body.

The flame burned for a full minute, until all the dark wounds, blood and impurities in his body were completely burned, and the invisible flame began to transform into a substantial milky white flame, instantly enveloping him and turning him into a huge fireball.

"boom!"

A huge flaming fist hit the ground fiercely, smashing the nearly one meter thick basalt on the ground of the palace, causing the whole palace to shake slightly.

He could no longer see anything, and his entire field of vision had been covered by milky white flames, which seemed to be burning himself with real flames, and he could feel that it penetrated deep into the bone marrow of his body, burning to the point of burning his soul, the unimaginable pain was his never experienced.

At the same time, he could clearly feel that as the flame burned, the power that came from the depths of the body in his body was slowly increasing and becoming stronger and stronger in the pain that penetrated into his soul.

This power is intangible and qualityless, but it really exists. He can really feel that this power is being continuously produced, and it is reintegrated into every inch of the body's muscles, bones, tendons and even blood, and penetrates into every cell of the body. make him stronger.

I don't know how long it took, the one hundred thousand potential points were exhausted, and the milky white fireball in the underground palace had disappeared, replaced by a fireball burning with golden flames, the fireball was two feet high, and the flame had changed from milky white to pure. Golden, brilliant, atmospheric!

Not long after, the fireball began to shrink slowly, and the pure golden flame shrank inwards. The nine, eight, six, and three feet became smaller and smaller. Shrinking, slowly revealing a golden head, followed by the face, the muscular thick neck and other bodies, and the golden flame is melting into this golden body.

In less than a minute, all the golden flames melted into the golden body, but Ye Chenren hadn't woken up yet, just standing in the underground palace like a flawless golden statue with a height of one foot and the proportion of a god.

Chapter 271 The Golden Giant, the Licentious Tyrant

I don't know how long it took, the underground palace suddenly lit up, and the golden statue that had been standing still suddenly opened its eyes, and a torrent of life breath emanated from the golden body, forming a circle of golden air waves that spread out. A huge golden phantom condensed above his head, and quickly dissipated.

"This power!"

Ye Chen stretched out a thicker arm, already a little bit thicker than Wanwan's extremely slender willow waist. The palm of his hand was almost as big as a small washbasin, and he could directly hold a person's head in his palm.

Putting five fingers together and pinching, there was a series of popping sounds, several white air waves sprayed out from between the fingers more than ten meters away, and one of them flew obliquely and hit the ground, blasting a big crater the size of a bathtub.

"I'm afraid it has a force of several thousand tons!"

The clenched fist punched out, there was a loud bang, the void in front of him shook violently, and countless tiny black lightning bolts appeared in the void within a range of nearly one meter, hanging in the void like a spider web out of thin air. At this moment, violent energy surged out from behind the shattered space and flooded him, submerging the entire underground palace in less than a second.

In the pitch-black space energy, a golden giant stepped out of it. He was completely naked, his majestic body was as perfect as a god, and the violent space energy couldn't hurt him even a little bit.

After about two seconds, the broken space was repaired by the rules of the world, and the violent space energy also merged into the world. If it wasn't for the violent energy breath remaining in the void, no one would know what happened here just now.

In the underground palace, Ye Chen got used to his soaring power and slowly controlled it so that it would not get out of control. By the time he left the underground palace, he had become a strong man only two meters long with normal skin.

The three-meter-high golden giant just now is the ability obtained after the [-]th layer of the Shengang Body. In that state, his strength is beyond imagination. He can shatter the space with just a few gestures, even if he doesn't use any force. The world has been unable to accommodate his existence.

After fully mastering his own power, he restrained this terrifying power into an ordinary human state, but even now the ordinary human state is stronger than the thirteenth layer of the divine gang body, which is about twice as high, that is, as high as 300 The strength of [-] kilograms and the corresponding physique, if transformed into the state of a golden giant, will once again triple on this basis, approaching the strength of [-] tons.

Ye Chen doesn't know how strong he is after transforming into a golden giant, but he is confident that he can defeat any opponent in this world, even if he is not afraid of the super powerful genius who comes directly from reality after the opening of the Temple of War.

There is no way to practice in the future. He used to think about whether he could continue to deduce it. Now he knows that there is no way to go. To be precise, there is no way forward in this world. If he If you want to go further, you can only go further by breaking the void and entering another higher world.

To be honest, he is actually very curious about this Shattered Void, because according to the experience of some people in the Tower of Eternity, if the Shattered Void ascends, he can directly enter a certain higher world, and he can be directly attracted by those powerful forces in the higher world. Focus on cultivating masters who can be 100% respected by others, not natives of the higher world, but strong descendants.
