Chapter 368: centralization

After the Central Forbidden Army became more and more prosperous, it was obvious that it could help the court and strengthen centralization.
Taking back the local powers in Pingzhou and Jizhou, various local privileges, strengthening the authority of the government, and letting the government take care of things in various places, such as reducing private vengeance and reducing lynching trials within the local powers. This can be effective Reduce the control of members by some small schools, small families, and small forces; strengthen the inventory of local resources and industries to ensure taxation; major forces need to submit a list of personnel for recruitment.
These items correspond to legal rights, financial rights, and personnel rights.
Of course, these changes are not implemented all at once, but done bit by bit.
For example, the first thing we did was to inventory the industry. This incident was because the imperial court was facing financial difficulties.
In previous years, the Dayan court did not make such attempts, but there was great resistance. How could various local forces accept that their own fate was handed over to the court?
Of course, the imperial court had a deep control over them, and even the imperial court was them in a sense. Most of the officials in the imperial court system came from these local forces, which meant that some emperors and scholar-officials ruled the world together.
Attacking them, on the one hand, these local forces themselves will resist; on the other hand, there are also some meanings to let the court destroy its own destiny.
This is due to the internal resistance of the court.
The Lu dynasty's problem in this aspect is not big. Their basic disk, unlike the original Li Dynasty, was built on the court, but originated from the north. What's more, after the previous catastrophe, the court had been washed up and down again. There was internal resistance, but it was not that big.
And after the internal resistance decreases, those local forces are also unlikely to be rebellious; secretly using some means, because of the collapse of the faceless meeting, has become smaller and more innocent.
But in this matter, there is another trouble, which is external resistance: Yunxiaozong.
These small families and small sects, of course, are more inclined to maintain their own independence in Dayan's system. And Yunxiaozong also supports this to a certain extent.
It is not that there are too many considerations in terms of interests, but the most important thing is the relationship between people. The various forces always like to send their talented descendants into the Yunxiao Sect. Various cooperations also often convey benefits to some senior monks in the Yunxiao Sect. Just looking at the relationship of a certain family in the Clouds Sect, it may not be so ironic, but when the number reaches a certain level, they gather to speak, and it will always make many senior monks in the Clouds Sect have some reactions.
In the past, every time the central court had the idea of ​​centralizing power and harmed the interests of the local powers, they would always find someone from the Yunxiao Sect, or some familiar people, to help speak. In the end, the Yunxiaozong formed pressure on the imperial court and obstructed the advancement of centralization.
And objectively, this is also weakening the court, and it is also good for Yunxiaozong.
But in the past decade or so, Lu Chaoxi has actually solved a large part of fiscal power. This was recovered by the financial difficulties of the imperial court after the war, and even the difficulty of giving the Yunxiaozong a tribute.
The Lu family had just taken office, and had been in the honeymoon period with Yunxiaozong for a period of time. Including now, it is actually still in this honeymoon period. After all, no matter what, the Lu family helped Yunxiaozong a lot at the time, and since becoming the emperor, it has also been quite obedient.
Taking advantage of that time, by solving the financial problems of the imperial court, the industries of various local forces have gone through a round of inspections, and the tax quotas have been clearly defined. This has also uncovered many tax-avoided industries that were concealed in the past.
And now that these things are in their hands, even if the court's financial situation eases, there is no idea of ​​returning them.
There is no Yunxiaozong to help with various local forces, and there is much less room for resistance in this matter.
But to go further, it is impossible to withdraw law enforcement and personnel rights, to disintegrate the control of those local forces over the monks under their command, so that the court can mobilize more abundant manpower. This is unlikely to cause opposition.
Moreover, at this point, the Lu family also lacks the same reasons that can persuade Yunxiaozong as before withdrawing financial power.
At that time, the financial power was recovered in order to solve the financial difficulties of the imperial court and to facilitate better support for the sect. Then take back the power of law enforcement to the government and let those local forces hand in the list of personnel. What are you doing?
It is really difficult for the Lu Dynasty to advance this matter.
However, one thing to note is that Yunxiaozong’s opposition is not a series of policies directed by the imperial court in the name of the sect. The form of their objection was which one came to intercede, and a certain senior monk of the Yunxiao Sect sent a letter to the court in the name of which one, either interceded or asked. The imperial court is not good at it, so it can only let it go for the time being.
In fact, Lu Chaoxi was very upset about this.
Not to mention the identity of the emperor, even if it is an ordinary person who does things normally, it is still impossible to feel much refreshed in his heart when he is criticized like this.
But what can be done? If you turn your face, you can't turn your face, hard top is also hard to top, things have to go down...
Then you can only pinch your nose, let it go, and then speed up the process. And the ones that are let go are not simply let go and they are done, and pressure can be applied from other directions. For example, making their business difficult to do, the government looking for faults from other angles...
As for Lu Qing, he was only paying attention to this matter by listening to reports, and his consciousness did not go there.
The matter itself, the son can handle it steadily, just step by step. Lu Qing thought about this kind of thing. Even if he interfered personally, it would be difficult for him to have a particularly big impact on the overall situation.
Moreover, he has his own business.
For good luck and rising stars, the two exercises that had only four stars in the past were two shortcomings in the Taikoo exercises after his fusion. He broke through to the Nascent Soul, only after he got the five-star Holy White Sword Tome. These two exercises, which were originally short-board, have been upgraded to the five-star level and the shortcomings have been supplemented. Lu Qing's practice speed has been much faster than before.
It was only a few years later, and his cultivation at the third floor of the Nascent Soul meant diligence again.
Until next time, he can practice outside the starry sky, or can enter the Spirit Gathering Temple, he may not just break through to the fourth floor of the Nascent Soul. Perhaps, it will not be impossible to rush to a higher level in one go.
As for the younger generations of other families, they all have further results in their cultivation.
Ming Chao and Chaoxi both entered the middle stage of the Golden Core and became the monks of the fourth layer of the Golden Core. Yan Ling pressed one head, now it is the fifth floor of the Golden Core. Chaohe was a bit close, and it was still on the second floor of Jindan.
Although Ming Chao, Chao Xi, and Yan Ling stayed in Yandu for a long time, they would return to Yuyan Mountain once at a certain time. One year in the Temple of Gathering Spirits and ten years of practice experience cannot be given up.
However, compared to the four who have entered the Golden Core Stage, the fastest growing family is still the two little guys of the writing level.
Wen En was still a bit close, but Wei Wen had already reached the ninth floor of Qiming and was ready to break through the golden core.
She had no external pill, but even so, Lu Qing still had sufficient confidence in her.
She broke through the materials needed for Jin Dan, and the family prepared them luxuriously. The cost of light materials has reached more than 150,000. If you count the arrangements made by the alchemist, refiner, and formation mage of each level, the cost will probably be even higher.
Of course, if it is for ordinary monks, without the help of outer pill, it is still very difficult to complete the breakthrough. But for her, the problem is not big.
Jin Tian Ling Root plus Jin De Spirit Body, there are also more alloy attributes that have been upgraded once, not bad sword body supernatural powers. The talent bonus she could get before entering the order was completely full. In a normal state, it's hard to imagine, before the Golden Core, what other ways and means could be used to obtain a more powerful talent than Weiwen's present.
Relying on these, she can obtain a very high probability of breakthrough without using external pill, and directly relying on relatively conventional preparations.
What's more, Lu Qing also prepared a four-star rare breakthrough bottleneck for her.
In fact, Lu Qing has recently planned to do one thing: the exploration of the underground Linghe in the Linghu vein.
The underground Ling River was discovered long, long ago. At the very beginning, there was still a lake where water ghosts were entrenched. Lu Qing found a piece of yin marrow water jade in it, and found an underground spirit river with ample aura in the ground, and opened it up with the ground to divert water outside. , Forming the Linghu Vein.
That is a treasure.
Without that piece of yin marrow water jade, Ming Dynasty's achievement of Qiming would not be so smooth; Linghu Vein, as a third-order water spirit vein itself, had also brought great help to the family when the Lu family had just begun to rise. Although this place is not the key to the rise of the Lu family, it is also a place that helps a lot.
Moreover, it is clear that when Lu Qing first explored the Underground Linghe, he clearly felt that the end of the Linghe would not be too simple. At that time, due to the limitation of the time he was out of the body, he was not flying fast enough to explore the end of the Linghe River. But only the part she explored, the concentration of aura has reached the level of Tier 4.
But precisely because of this, Lu Qing did not continue to explore.
On the one hand, it was important to follow the family's affairs one after another; even when he was free, Lu Qing had to focus on his own practice.
In addition, there is also a very key point that he explored the Underground Spirit River for the first time, but only halfway through it, the richness of the spiritual energy he could feel had reached the level of the fourth-order spiritual vein. So it is conceivable that at the end, the intensity may rise again.
There may be some very important secrets hidden there, and there may be great benefits, but in the same way, opportunities come with risks, and the degree of danger there may not be too low.
In the past, the Lu family was far less powerful than it is now. Even if you are exploring and finding something in the state of your consciousness, you want to complete the development of the Lu family and transform it into the benefits you can use. An easy thing.
But the time is now very ripe.
Lu Weiwen is about to make a breakthrough in the Golden Core Period, but it takes a little bit of preparation time before this. Lu Qing planned to take advantage of this effort to explore and take a look. And in the follow-up, if Weiwen can save money, perhaps in this matter, he can still help.
Now that it is decided, do it.
The Linghu Vein now has no special help to the Lu Family. However, the aura there is special after all, very suitable for the monks of Shui Linggen to cultivate in it. At the same time, it is also suitable for some water-walking elixir to be planted there, so the Lu family still has a little industry there, and there are also some tribesmen who practice in it.
This makes Lu Qing a lot more convenient.
He directly activated the experience mode, locked a family monk in the Linghu Vein, directly teleported to the past, and quickly found the entrance of the underground Linghe and got in.
The Linghe River flows from low to high, and Lu Qing follows the direction of the Linghe River flowing upstream.
His current flying speed in the state of consciousness is much faster than before. It didn't take long for him to surpass the position where he himself gave up exploring.
Without staying more, Lu Qing continued to fly far away.
But soon, he felt that the time he was out of the body this time had come to an end.
Not in a hurry to spend karma to supplement the time away from the body, he first opened the map function in the system interface and checked it. He found the location of the nearest family member, not far away, so he directly transmitted it in the mode of experience, white prostitutes a wave of time away from the body, and then continued to drill underground, found the location of the underground river, and continued to go down the current. .
In this way, UU reading www. uukanshu.com can save a lot of karma.
Although Lu Qing has a lot of karma now, after all, after all, the supplementary price of the time away from the body will become very expensive after it has doubled many times.
Who knows, how long is this underground river? This time, since Lu Qing was determined to explore, he didn't want to give up halfway.
Of course, sometimes if you can't find a family member close by, there is no other way, you can only spend karma to supplement the time you are away from the body, and then continue to fly.
In this way, after a not-so-short period of time, Lu Qing headed east all the way to the Linhai location in Donghai County.
This underground river came from the sea?
"I didn't expect this."
Lu Qing's curiosity became heavier.
