Chapter 29: Reform (II)
Unlike the Qingyun Realm, he would strip out every causal line that flew towards him, but instead connected it to the second tiger, freeing himself from the shackles of fate from the beginning.
The second tiger replaced Tang Zheng and became the child of fate, and at the same time, he was also assigned by Tang Zheng to constantly adjust his actions to affect those causal lines.
This is somewhat similar to a puppet, but it is the opposite.
The puppet is to control the actions of the puppet through the guò line, and the Tang Dynasty is to control the "puppet" of the two tigers to control the zhì line in order to achieve the purpose of influencing fate.
He detached himself from the web of fate, looked at this qiē from the perspective of a bystander, and then carefully plucked the strings of fate with the help of Erhu's hand.
As a result, the world has undergone some unknown changes.
These changes were small and inconspicuous at first, but they snowballed as time went on, and eventually produced the desired results.
At the same time, this is also a long-term project, Tong Guò is diligent in governance, Tang Zheng's hand is stretched out longer and longer, and even once crossed the restrictions of the monastic sect, stretched out his claws to Wenxin and state affairs, and openly interfered in national affairs.
Although the Immortal Sect is high, it is very rare to openly interfere in politics like this.
There was a big uproar in Wenxin's country, and there were even many stubborn and unafraid of death masters who accused Tang Zhengchen of being too heavy-hearted and worthy of being Tianzun.
Tang Zheng said disdainfully: "The order has been issued, what you should do is to carry it out." If you don't comply, then I don't mind changing to some obedient people. ”
As soon as this statement came out, the opposition immediately diminished a lot.
In fact, most of the national politics of the Tang Dynasty are measures to benefit the country and the people, but once any good policy is launched, it will inevitably touch the interests of some people, and some people will even fight to the death because of this.
It can be said that reform from above has always been extremely difficult, but in contrast, it is a sparkling peasant uprising that is simpler, because it crushes all the old ones, and then rebuilds them naturally.
Tang Zheng didn't plan to tear it down and start over, but if these people were disobedient, he didn't mind simply starting over.
In 100 years, 10 regimes are enough.
What he needs now is a good regime that can be obedient and execute.
Ling Xiao and the others were puzzled by his active interference in mortal things, saying that he would not want to make progress after he was promoted to the Purple Mansion, Tang Zheng was now more motivated than anyone else, and he had never seen him play. But if he has any grand plans, what is the strength of competing with mortals every day?
I wanted to persuade him, but if I looked at the policies he promulgated, they were all good. Although Ling Xiao Biehan actually did not do a good job in taking care of people's livelihood, he was not the kind of person who did not allow others to do well if he did not do well, so he stopped again when he wanted to dissuade him.
Ling Xiao still persuaded Tang Zheng earnestly, and said a few words such as "cultivators should focus on the path", as if he was persuading adults not to run to the kindergarten to play.
However, Tang Zheng was bent on being a kindergarten teacher, and he made up his mind not to look back, and more and more orders were issued from the Xiaoyao Palace, which made the disciples of the Moon Washing Sect complain one after another.
Ling Xiao saw that he was in good order, and he was also happy to be free and practice with peace of mind, but every time he thought of the exquisite covenant in a hundred and fifty years, he was worried about him. Secretly determined, if it really doesn't work, I will fight this old face to save the Tang Tribulation.
As far as the Moon Washing Sect is concerned, Tang Zheng is already the hope of the Moon Washing Sect to prosper in the future and even unify Qixia.
It's just that he obviously has the qualifications to be the sword master, and if he has to rely on the palm teaching route, it really makes people speechless. You must know that for most cultivators, the sword master is actually more attractive than the master of the sect - what a good thing it is to be in charge of the Tianxuan Exterminating Divine Sword, to devote himself to practicing and not asking about the world, to be worshiped by thousands of people, and to be in the position of not losing to the master.
In the blink of an eye, ten years have passed.
In the past ten years, the Tang Dynasty has made great efforts to govern the country, and the morning bell and tomb drum have made the governance of a huge Wenxin country in an orderly manner, the wind and rain are smooth, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, and live a prosperous life.
Although in the eyes of the cultivator, this kind of wealth is like a castle on the beach, without the protection of the cultivator, others can crush it lightly. But before it gets crushed, there's no denying that it's pretty good to do that.
After the people lived well, even the efficiency of doing things became higher, coupled with the good weather every year, the output of some spiritual fields scattered all over the country also increased, and the income of the entire Moon Washing Sect increased. Tang Zheng ordered that at the end of the year, each person would be given an additional bottle of high-quality cultivation pills according to their rank, causing the whole faction to cheer.
A thriving scene.
At this point, even the opposition to Tang Zheng has been much smaller.
I have to admit that what Tang Zheng did may be incomprehensible, but it is really bringing benefits to the Moon Washing Sect, to everyone, and to the entire Wen Xinguo.
But that's not all.
The land is interconnected, and changes between countries can affect neighbouring countries as a result.
Under Tang Zheng's deliberate instructions, all kinds of novelties and things from Wenxin were infiltrating into the surrounding neighboring countries, and slowly but firmly influencing them in the same way, making Tang Zheng's web of fate begin to spread to the Qixia Realm.
The gap in living standards, coupled with the deliberate guidance of the web of destiny, began to flee in patches from the surrounding countries of Wenxin, and a large number of ordinary people fled to Wenxin from neighboring countries.
And Tang Zheng ordered that no matter how many people came, they should be sheltered as much as possible, arranged well, and helped them quickly become Wenxin citizens.
For a thriving country, a large amount of manpower is one of the resources it needs most. In the past, the state used the method of mass birth to solve the problem of manpower shortage, but now it directly uses immigration.
At first, the nations did not pay much attention to it, but soon they found that the land under their rule began to be abandoned in large numbers, and many of the places where the land was too harsh even showed signs of being empty.
A large amount of land was uninhabited, the poor fled the country, leaving only the rich who had nothing to do, and the whole structure of the state began to have problems, which also caused all kinds of chaos.
However, in the end, these problems only panicked mortals at the national level, but for cultivators, there was no problem at all.
They never cared for mortals, just as humans don't care about the sand under their feet.
But if one day, the sediment is empty, where will human beings stand?
No one knew this, and no one understood what kind of big thing Tang Zheng was doing.
Everyone sees that the people are losing and the country is being poor and weak, but the people who see it can't do it, and the people who have the means don't care.
Cultivation is important!
As a result, under the deliberate impetus of Tang Zheng, the gap between Wenxin and other countries continued to increase.
This process lasted a full twenty years.
During these two decades, the population of Wenxinguo tripled, while the populations of other countries decreased in different ways.
The geniuses that have emerged in the Moon Washing Academy are also endless, in the past, there may have only been one nine-turn talent in one session, but now there are several in each session.
The number of students enrolled in the academy began to expand, and the number of students admitted each year suddenly tripled.
There are more and more outstanding disciples entering the sect, and the resources are becoming more and more abundant.
In contrast, the talent of other factions has withered.
While losing a large number of mortal people, the major factions also mean that they are losing fresh blood.
And if a sect does not have enough fresh blood to maintain it, it will form a situation where it will not be able to make ends meet, and the number of cultivators will decline, and the overall strength will also decline.
In all aspects, whether it is the external travel or the handling of the affairs of the sect, it is a little worse than that of the Moon Washing School.
For example, when the disciples of the two sects were exploring in a public area and accidentally discovered a fortune, the disciples of the other sects might summon only three or five companions in a hurry, but the people of the Moon Washing Sect shouted loudly, and a dozen or dozens popped up nearby.
As a result, in the disputes between lower-level cultivators, the Moon Washing Sect began to gradually gain an advantage.
The advantage of lower-level cultivators is the advantage of middle-level cultivators in the future, and if it is postponed over time, it will become the advantage of high-level or even top-level cultivators.
This is a long-term process, which could have taken hundreds of years to manifest, but under the deliberate impetus of Tang Zheng, it only took twenty years for the first signs to emerge.
As the web of fate expands, the impact intensifies, and the changes are accelerating.
It will soon be discovered that what was casual at first, in the blink of an eye, has formed a flood beast that affects every person who stands tall in it.
Until that moment, it finally came.
――――――――――
Seven unique gates, ethereal peaks.
A middle-aged scribe in a green shirt watched the celestial phenomenon and pinched his fingers, as if he was calculating something.
After half a ring, he whispered to himself: "The stars are moving, and the sea of life is spinning, is it possible to say that the general trend of Qixia, which has been balanced for more than 2,000 years, is going to change again?
His eyes were full of doubt.
It's a pity that although he is an earth immortal, he is only rough in the way of fate, and he can't see through the mystery of fate, and he can't untie the messy silk thread, so he can only feel the waves of the web of fate that has been balanced for more than 2,000 years, giving birth to a whirlpool, but he can't see the connection with what happened today, let alone where this whirlpool gathers.
But suddenly, the green-shirted scribe still glanced back at Wenxin's direction and said to himself, "Could it be there?"
In the invisible dimension, the web of fate envelops the entire world.
The Qixia realm is like a small square on the net, firmly covering the Qixia world.
Over the past 2,000 years, the network has been quiet and has not changed much.
But now, if you look at it from a perspective beyond the object, you will find that this web of fate has gradually formed a vortex at some point.
It's like a funnel cloud, gathering a lot of luck in one point, and the direction that the funnel points to is the person fate loves.
If you look through the funnel of fate, you will find that this funnel is located on Mt. Izumo.
But it was not on the head of Tang Zheng, nor on the head of the second tiger, but on the small hillside behind the Star Peak, in the low thatched hut, on the old man with white hair and meditating.
His eyebrows moved slightly, the old man opened his eyes and looked into the air, and let out a light sigh: "Gather the spirit of heaven and earth, gather the love of the world, bless my body...... Good boy, but he is getting more and more powerful, and there are already signs of condensing the Dao Law. ”
Unlike the green-shirted scribe, he knew the details of the Tang Tribulation.
