People in Zongwu: Starting with the Yin Gui Sect

In the sixth year of Chongzhen, Wu Yu once again waved the stick of reform after realizing that the conditions were ripe. On the basis of the original one-whip law, he advanced to the land tax system.

As expected, this policy was directly resisted by all landlords, but Wu Yu, who had expected it, directly asked Brother Li to move again.

This time, under the slogan of the White Lotus Sect, all the stubborn gentry landlords were directly seized, and then the court sent a large army to suppress them, and all the land and property were nationalized.

In half a year, more than one-third of the land in the entire Jiangnan region fell into the hands of the court, and then was redistributed to other farmers.

And just like in the north, the people only have the right to cultivate but not the right to buy and sell. Once a citizen dies, the state will take back the land and redistribute it to others.

As the leader of the rebellion, Brother Li once again escaped from the encirclement of the army and hibernated again.

However, Wu Yu did not stop there. This time, he made a shocking decision, requiring all officials and gentlemen across the country to bear the burden of labor and pay grain taxes together!

Once this national policy was promulgated, it was like a heavy bomb thrown into the lake, instantly stirring up thousands of waves and causing a great uproar. The whole country seemed to be involved in a huge earthquake, shaking the earth and mountains, and people were panicking.

After hearing the news, the literati and scholars from all over the country were all shocked. They could not accept such a change and believed that it seriously violated the interests of their class.

So they rushed to the streets, gathered together, raised their arms and shouted, and the voices of protest rose and fell, resounding through the sky. Among them, the Kong family in the north was the most active and the most noisy.

Not only did they organize various rallies again and again, gathering many literati and scholars together to launch fierce attacks and criticisms on the current policies of the country.

But they also openly issued calls in an attempt to incite more people to join their ranks in opposing national policies.

However, facing the overwhelming abuse, Wu Yu, who had been prepared, did not tolerate them. First, he asked the "Da Ming Di Bao" to report all the crimes committed by the Kong family in recent years and distribute them all over the country.

Then he showed all the evidence that the heads of the Northern Kong family had contacted foreign races and took the lead in surrendering after the foreign races occupied the Central Plains. One of them was the current head of the family and the Jiannu Huang Taiji.

At the end of the dibao, the Northern Kong family was summarized with the four words "Shi Xiu Jiang Biao".

As soon as the content of this dibao came out, everyone in the world knew what kind of urine this so-called Yanshenggong family was, and even the Nan Kong lineage on the other side did not forget to stand up and give the opponent a knife.

It is believed that this kind of surrender faction without any character is not worthy of being the descendants of Confucius, let alone the title of Yanshenggong.

The Kong family, who got the news, naturally would not sit idly by and wait for death. They would lead the whole family to the north to surrender to the Mongols.

But before they had gone far, they were blocked by Wei Zhongxian, who had expected it, and they could no longer quibble.

So far, the Northern Kong lineage was completely defeated, and the hereditary title of Yanshenggong was also given to the Southern Kong lineage by the court.

In this way, under Wu Yu's drastic measures, the national fortune of the Ming Dynasty once again ushered in an explosive growth.

Time quickly skipped the seventh year of Chongzhen and came to the eighth year of Chongzhen. After realizing that the development of the Ming Dynasty had stagnated, Wu Yu once again ordered the scientific research department to start studying the use of electricity to prepare for the second industrial revolution.

In the same year, a major event also occurred in the Tang Dynasty, which was also one of the three major countries in the Central Plains. Li Shimin, the second son of Emperor Tang Li Yuan, launched the Xuanwu Gate Incident with the help of Cihang Jingzhai, shooting Crown Prince Li Jiancheng and King Qi Li Yuanji inside the Xuanwu Gate, and eradicating all the demonic forces behind them.

Finally, he imprisoned his father Li Yuan in Taiji Palace and forced him to issue an edict to make him the crown prince.

However, for some unknown reason, the evil emperor and the evil king, who were the actual controllers of the Demon Sect, did not come out to stop it from beginning to end, as if they had already given up the line of the crown prince.

And this is exactly the case. After Li Shimin controlled the entire Chang'an City and the overall situation was settled, Shi Zhixuan, the royal family worshiper who represented the Demon Sect, stood up again.

This made Li Shimin and Cihang Jingzhai, who originally thought that a big battle was going to happen, confused for a while.

However, although he didn't know the reason, Li Shimin still accepted the surrender of the Demon Sect. After all, it would be good to have fewer people die.

He didn't want to cause the two sects of Buddhism and Demon to fight each other because of his momentary impulsiveness, thereby weakening the overall strength of the entire country.

In fact, how could he know that the Demon SectThe fundamental reason why the top leaders of the Demon Sect did not take action was because of the Heavenly Gate, or Emperor Shitian.

After realizing that continuing to be in charge of the Tang Dynasty by Li Yuan or Li Jiancheng would not bring much growth in national fortune, Emperor Shitian ordered the top leaders of the Demon Sect to abandon the crown prince Li Jiancheng and choose to support Qin Wang Li Shimin.

Because in his opinion, the Tang Dynasty could only become strong as soon as possible under the leadership of Li Shimin, and only when the country was strong could he use his means to steal the national fortune and let his subordinates reach the extraordinary realm as soon as possible.

In this way, with everything ready, Emperor Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty finally passed the throne to the crown prince Li Shimin in September of the same year, and Li Shimin ascended the throne in the Xiande Hall of the East Palace in Chang'an, the capital.

So far, the Xuanwu Gate Incident, which was four years earlier than the official history, finally came to an end.

"It seems that Emperor Shitian and others are also planning the same thing as the Mongols!"

Looking at the intelligence from the Tang Dynasty, and thinking about the fact that the Demon Sect's high-level officials who should have supported Li Jiancheng had not taken action, Wu Yu understood the plan of Emperor Shitian and others. They wanted to use enough luck to send people to the extraordinary realm like the Mongols.

And this person must be the evil emperor Xiang Yutian, because only he is the most likely person under Emperor Shitian to take this step.

But think about it, it is right, relying on the luck of a country to promote to the extraordinary, this is also the fastest and most reliable method known so far.

Even Wu Yu suspected that the reason why Emperor Shitian chose to become the king of a country in troubled times was because of this reason.

In fact, the Great Sui Dynasty also had this plan, but it was a pity that the country's national life was too short, and Yang Su, who should have been the strongest and most likely to take this step, was also killed by them. So until the destruction of the country, the Great Sui Dynasty failed to cultivate a supernatural person of its own.
