Quick Wear: After Binding the Boss

"You know, above the Grandmaster is the Martial Arts Golden Elixir. At this stage, after refining the Golden Elixir, not only will your life span increase greatly, but your Martial Arts realm will also be completely formed.

When you reach the martial arts soul realm, your body's ability to recover will be greatly enhanced. Even the regeneration of broken limbs, broken hearts, and other injuries that ordinary warriors fear are just ordinary injuries for those who have condensed their souls. Even if you give up your physical body, you can survive for a long time with your soul alone. If you have treasures, you can condense your body again."

Emperor Cheng'an and the Crown Prince showed envy in their eyes.

"In fact, if you study and comprehend the skills of our Wei family carefully, it is enough to cultivate to the level of martial arts. Of course, I am talking about the complete version, not the defective one now."

"But when Taizu made his fortune, he only got a fragment. Since Taizu, successive emperors have had people search for it. It can be said that they have searched all over the place, but still have not been able to complete it."

The reason why their Wei family was able to sit firmly on the throne was not only because they had no major political problems, but also because of this cultivation method.

At that time, Emperor Taizu divided the martial arts into eight levels: two acquired levels, two innate levels, three master levels, and one grand master level.

This level of Grand Master was speculated by Emperor Taizu. In fact, the original incomplete version could only support cultivation to the peak of Grand Master at most.

Of course, this is not bad. Looking at the whole world, there are very few martial arts that can be cultivated to the peak of the grandmaster level.

Over the years, the strong men of the Wei family have not been sitting there to do nothing, and some of them have continued to deduce their skills.

However, it can only allow people to cultivate to the middle stage of the Grand Master, and it is impossible to go any further.

"I can help complete the Wei family's skills, but I have a request."

Xingzhou then expressed his demands.

"You say." Emperor Cheng An sat upright. This was a major matter that concerned his climb to a higher level, and he could not be careless.

Then, Xingzhou took out a stack of papers, each of which was densely written with words.

“This will be accomplished within fifty years.”

What was written on these papers were nothing else but people's livelihood issues, such as the land tax, water conservancy construction, river management, girls' schooling, pension and so on and so forth.

It involves many fields such as economy, politics, society, and culture.

"This...these are..."

Emperor Cheng'an's hands began to tremble as he watched. There were many things in it that he did not understand, but he knew that as long as he could do what Xingzhou wrote, Dajing would surely enter an unprecedented period of prosperity.

Even if the imperial power will be reduced in the future, as long as their Wei family is still on the throne and the dynasty is still called Dajing, there will be no problem at all.

Da Jing has been prosperous for two hundred years. Everyone wants his family to sit on the throne forever, but as we can see from history, this is impossible. There are many ways for dynasties to be destroyed, but in all of them, the people could not survive and so they rose up in rebellion.

As long as the people can survive, and even live well, they will go crazy and overthrow the regime.

"Okay, I will implement these policies even if it means I am hostile to all the landlords in the world."

Xingzhou raised his eyelids. He thought Emperor Cheng'an would go back and think about it, but he didn't expect him to be so decisive and agree on the spot. He really underestimated the emperor.

"If you want to reform, you need strong soldiers. I happen to have a method of cultivation used in the army. After practicing, ten people can form a formation to fight against a master, a hundred people can form a formation to fight against a late-stage master, a thousand people can form a formation to kill a great master, and a million people can even fight against immortals. Of course, it is very, very difficult to form a formation with a million people."

"I am going to set up another Supervisory Department and you will be the Supervisory Commander. I know you don't want to be in charge, so I will assign you the Left and Right Chief Justices. You only need to give instructions on major matters and supervise the two Chief Justices."

Regardless of whether Xing Zhoutong agreed or not, Emperor Cheng'an immediately began to consider a series of issues including the number of people, power, official positions, etc. in the Supervisory Office.

Dajing naturally also had a supervisory body, called the Censorate. However, this reform involved so many things that even the Censorate was not immune, so Emperor Cheng'an naturally had to set up another supervisory body.

When the situation stabilizes in the future, it is possible to merge the two or redistribute their functions.

"Okay." Xingzhou nodded slightly. Although what he took out was advanced, it was not that advanced. It was something that the current Dajing was fully capable of doing.

Serving as the envoy also has its advantages, that is, he has a positive reason to participate in the court, and those ministers who rely on their seniority to bully others will not be able to blame him even if they hate him to death.

It just so happened that policies needed to keep pace with the times, so he had no choice but to talk to these lovely court officials every year.

Of course, all of this requires the people to have enough to eat first.

It just so happened that this year's potatoes and sweet potatoes had already been planted in the imperial farm. After the harvest, Xingzhou did not plan to eat them, but wait until the beginning of next spring, and only keep a small part of these fruits, and grow the rest into seedlings and spread them out.

The fruits left behind were naturally for the people to see. Otherwise, they would not dare to plant them, and no matter how good the seeds were, they would be useless.

Three years later.

Potatoes and sweet potatoes have spread throughout Dajing, and the people of Dajing all know His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin.

In addition, rubber was also developed by Xingzhou. In addition to being used in horse-drawn carriages, other rubber products also entered the lives of ordinary people.

It is worth mentioning that the "national highway" from the capital to various provinces was also built. In order to give full play to the subjective initiative of the wealthy, Xingzhou personally went to solicit sponsorship.

By means of court honors, engraving names, and historical records, it is easy to induce these wealthy businessmen who have money but nowhere to spend it to contribute money and effort without much talk.

After all, in this society, agriculture is emphasized over commerce. Although merchants are rich, their status is not high, so they can easily be targeted by officials, and there is nothing you can do about it.

But now that there are names on the roadstones, local officials dare not ask for too much protection money. After all, it was engraved by His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin himself, as a favor to them. If you dare to ask for protection money, it would be a slap in the face of His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin. How many lives do you have to dare to be so presumptuous?

Of course, smart wealthy businessmen would not go too far. They still had to give the offerings, but it was much easier than before. After all, they only had to send gifts during festivals and holidays, and they did not have to bear the cost of the official's family's food, drink, and shelter, nor did they have to pay for the official's young masters to visit brothels. It was very comfortable, wasn't it?

Those gentlemen took advantage of the situation and restrained their greed.

Of course, all this happened because a businessman donated money to build a road, but was blackmailed by local officials. The businessman reported this directly to His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin, and Xingzhou sent people to investigate the official. All the past of the official's family was investigated thoroughly, and according to the laws of Dajing, the official was directly imprisoned and his mansion was raided. The official and his son were also facing the situation of beheading.

After this news spread, the number of wealthy businessmen who came forward to sign up to donate money increased dramatically.

Xingzhou also takes out 500,000 taels of gold every year for consumption by all parties.

It's not that you can't take too much, but if the amount of gold increases too much out of thin air, it will easily cause gold depreciation and inflation, which is not what Xingzhou wants to see.
