Chapter 150 The City Lord Wiped Out The Clan And Ran Away
"My lord, this is the land leased by Independent Cultivator Cave Mansion."
In a small mountain range with plenty of aura, Li Changsheng's figure appeared.
In the small mountain range, there is a faint mist, and Cave Mansion can be vaguely seen scattered among them.
After Li Changsheng landed, he closed his eyes slightly, stepped on his feet, and the world of heavy sense appeared, and the ripples of all the creatures in it appeared in the world of heavy sense.
This place is the place where spiritual energy gathers in Pingdan County. In every county, some Independent Cultivators gather in this kind of place to practice and live.
Of course, the Cave Mansions in the county are all owned by the empire, and it is illegal for Independent Cultivators to build Cave Mansions privately, but as long as they take the initiative to report and pay sufficient taxes, they can become regular Cave Mansions.
The White Tiger empire is strictly hierarchical, and the Independent Cultivator must study hard, obtain fame, and enter the court as an official in order to have a bright future.
If it doesn't work, then go to the city to serve as a thug for officials, and you can also earn a small amount of cultivation resources.
Compared to Li Changsheng's original continent, the monks on this continent of the Four Gods had a miserable life.
During the conversation, Zhong Fang had already sent people to the gates of the Cave Mansions in the small mountain range to call for people to collect the rent. The rent was collected once a year, 1,000 spirit stones at a time, which didn’t seem high, but for these Independent Cultivators, it was already A big payout.
Just an hour later, Qi Refining Stage's subordinates had collected 20,000 to 30,000 spirit stones.
"grown ups."
Zhong Fang respectfully handed over the Lingshi, and Li Changsheng put it all into his pocket without saying a word.
Damn, after wasting five years of time and finally turning Pingdan County into a bustling city, can't he come back with some money?
Starting from this year, in addition to the fixed tax payment, he must keep all the money for himself.
It's time to fill your pockets.
A few years later, Li Changsheng's political achievements have already surpassed all the counties in Fengling City, and the population has reached an astonishing 500,000.
Taxes are also getting higher year by year, but Li Changsheng is not polite at all for the excess taxes, and has taken them all for himself.
However, the wealth of all people in Pingdan County gradually became richer. The richer the people, the higher the tax payment, and the poorer the people, they were exempted from tax.
As the economy has become more and more developed, this place has long been rich.
The magistrates of other counties all wanted to come to him to search, but they had no chance.
Li Changsheng has been working here for nearly 20 years, and the policy has never changed, but the tax revenue has been increasing year by year, and the population has exploded.
Other county towns also followed suit, driving the overall economy, and Fengling City's political performance has taken a qualitative leap.
I thought that Li Changsheng would rise to prominence and soar into the sky. With his political achievements, he could be promoted to the lord of a city, and he would not be able to enter the court and become an official in the capital.
But unexpectedly, because the city lord Feng Tianzong wanted to reform the political law, an imperial decree came down, and Feng Tianzong was thrown into the jail for unfounded charges.
After Li Changsheng inquired, he found out that Feng Tianzong reported Li Changsheng's new policy to the court.
In order to suppress Feng Tianzong, officials within the imperial court were thrown into the prison for unreasonable charges of disrupting government and subverting traditions before the memorials reached the emperor's hands.
After all, once Li Changsheng's new policies are implemented, the Xiuxian family in the entire empire will have to hand over half of their property. The empire is rich, super rich, but the Xiuxian family and those wealthy nobles will become paupers.
They don't want to hand over the wealth accumulated by the times to the empire.
So Feng Tianzong's move is tantamount to confronting the entire imperial cultivating family, and naturally there is no place to die.
After Li Changsheng found out, his heart was over and he had to run away.
Although the money I have embezzled over the years has been recovered, I haven't made much money because I haven't had time to earn it yet.
In just 20 years, he earned 20 million spirit stones at a cost, and he felt that he was awesome.
Feng Tianzong has always indulged Li Changsheng, kept him secretly, and has been implementing Li Changsheng's new policies in the city, but Feng Tianzong thought too well.
If he didn't take the initiative to report this new policy to the imperial court, he would develop insignificantly and take advantage of it fiercely. If he didn't rush to show off, he wouldn't be punished by the corrupt officials in the imperial court.
It's all right now, the Feng family in Fengling City, ransacked all over the family, just because they moved the cake from the imperial family of cultivators.
Sure enough, throughout the dynasties, it was very difficult to reform and implement the New Deal.
Originally everyone was fine, if you embezzled you got it, I embezzled mine, if you insist on messing with me, I won’t screw you to death.
I don't care about your old or new policies, as long as you dare to touch my cake, I will kill you.
As for the future of the empire, that's none of their business.
The White Tiger Empire has gone through tens of thousands of years of history, and it is not going on as usual. Although it has come to an end now, and everyone is corrupt, sooner or later, there will be a family of cultivators to replace the White Tiger Empire, change the dynasty, change the name and surname.
At that time, it will naturally be a new round of world, and they don't need to worry about it.
"Why are you following me? Who is she?"
On a jungle path, Li Changsheng looked at the figures behind him with a depressed expression.
"My lord, she is the granddaughter of the city lord, her name is Feng Yingying. Before the city lord went to prison, he specially ordered the young one to give her to you for protection."
Zhong Fang said with blood all over his body.
Behind Zhong Fang were several heartfelt guards and a silent beauty with big eyes.
This woman is a Foundation Building Stage monk, with a graceful figure and a proud figure, but her eyes are extremely melancholy.
She is Feng Tianzong's granddaughter, Feng Yingying, 20 years old, because of her withdrawn personality, after the whole family was killed, she didn't shed a single tear.
At this moment, Feng Yingying was also looking at Li Changsheng with an indifferent expression, not knowing what was going on in her heart.
"Where did your blood come from?"
Li Changsheng glanced at Zhong Fang and asked.
"I had a wife who cheated on me, and I killed her when I got back."
Zhong Fang said coldly.
Hearing this, Li Changsheng was startled. He has known Zhongfang for 20 years, and this guy has always looked like a frail scholar. He never thought that killing his wife would be so ruthless.
"There are too many of you, we are fleeing for our lives, not traveling, let's break up."
Li Changsheng glanced at the crowd, and took out tens of thousands of spirit stones and gave them to Zhong Fang.
"We'll meet later."
"My lord, you can't go, the city lord trusts you so much, don't you have the heart to abandon us?"
Zhong Fang changed hands and threw the spirit stone to the subordinates behind, grabbed Li Changsheng sincerely and said.
Li Changsheng frowned when he heard this. Does this mean that he killed the city lord?
Who knew that the empire could not tolerate the New Deal, Feng Tianzong made his own proposal to send the New Deal to the court, even if the court didn't praise it, he let the city owner's family all beheaded, I have to say, being an official is also an extremely dangerous job.
Helpless, Li Changsheng had no choice but to take Zhongfang with him, Feng Yingying set off on the road, while the others gave tens of thousands of spirit stones and sent them away, hiding their names.
