Realizing This Is Wuxia World After Cultivating For 300 Years
Chapter 114

Capture All at Once and Complete Scores Together

***

As the capital of Fengzhou, although Changfeng Prefecture was not as prosperous as Lu County, it was the gathering place of important figures.

Most of the strong people in Fengzhou live here.

Relatives and friends of county officials and state officials all have many farms and shops here.

Many sects and clans also gathered here. Only sects and clans controlled 20 gold, iron, grain, salt, cloth, coal, and other industries. Each of them was a great sect or clan that had existed for thousands of years.

Their martial power was also not weak. Only this Changfeng Prefectural City alone had six leading Inner World experts.

In any other district, this is almost impossible.

After all, there were no large clans like the Seven Distinguished Families in Fengzhou, nor were there top sects like the Daoyi Palace or the Baolin Buddhist Hall. The leading figures in the Inner World realm were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns, and there were no more than 20 in the entire State.

Now, in this Prefectural City alone there were already six. In the entire Changfeng Prefecture, it might not be less than ten!

These people were the biggest local tyrants in Changfeng Prefectural City and even the entire Changfeng Prefecture.

It's not easy dealing with them.

Even if Cui Heng replaced the position of Fengzhou State Supervisor, it would be very difficult for him to suppress these people with his strength.

Therefore, after Hui Shi came to Changfeng Prefectural City earlier, he chose the simplest and most direct method.

Kill it!

He held a list of powerful people in Prefectural City. He got it from Wu Yin. After coming here, he immediately went to look for them.

He immediately went to ask.

Anyone who disrespected the new Master Supervisor would be killed on the spot!

Since Hui Shi had currently contributed to the implementation of the new decree in the various counties in Lu County, he had been promoted to the realm of the Inner World by Cui Heng.

Even without counting the runes from the Mighty Bodhisattva Fist of the Heavenly Dragon, his martial skills were already among the best in the world.

It was naturally more convenient for him to deal with these nobles.

At first, when Hui Shi first attacked, there were many attempts to rebel. There were even large clans who gathered personal and sect troops and let their disciples form a team to surround and kill Hui Shi.

However, as Hui Shi killed more and more people, the nobles in Changfeng City no longer resisted.

Some people even change their attitude.

As long as they saw Hui Shi visiting, he would immediately declare that they would definitely welcome the new Overseer with respect and would not complain.

Of course, killing them alone was not enough. After Hui Shi suppressed these rich and powerful people in all aspects, he began to use his best abilities when he implemented government decisions in various counties in Lu County — the ability to confiscate property and divide land!

The commoners who had long been oppressed by the rich and powerful in Changfeng City were all cheering.

Moreover, since the officials said that this was a decision issued by the new Supervisor, they wanted all commoners to eat enough and live peacefully.

This immediately caused the hearts of the people in Changfeng City to faint.

Therefore, when Cui Heng led everyone to the entrance of Changfeng Prefectural City, he saw countless citizens coming to greet him happily.

This is not an arrangement made by anyone.

They were all people from the city who sincerely came to greet him.

“Master Supervisor, you have not even entered the city, but you are already loved by so many people. Fengzhou can be mastered!” Wu Yin said excitedly. He had been here for so many years, but he had never seen people welcome someone so warmly.

“This is just the beginning.” Cui Heng slightly nodded and smiled. "Come, follow me to the city!"

….

After being beaten by Hui Shi's iron fist, the local tyrants in Changfeng Prefecture became much more obedient.

Moreover, after Cao Quan's death, Wu Yin had already begun to rule the lives of the people.

Therefore, after Cui Heng entered the city to occupy his post, he did not encounter many troublesome problems.

However, after taking control of the entire finances and army in Fengzhou, he found a serious problem.

He wanted to rely on the entire Fengzhou to implement the new government's decisions everywhere and gain the love of the people and the hatred of his enemies. But his plan to collect the seven emotions of life is not perfect.

It was because after the chaos of King Yan's rebellion, Fengzhou's people had shrunk drastically. Other than a few counties, there were not many people left.

The State Supervisory Office.

“The disaster left by the war is actually very heavy ?!” Cui Heng looked at the information he had just obtained and immediately fell silent. “In the vast Fengzhou, Lu County alone constitutes 30% of the population!”

Although he had long known the style of King Yan's army, burning, killing, and looting wherever they passed by, this was the first time he had seen the destruction of the entire Fengzhou from a macro perspective.

This is the privilege of the State Supervisor, and it is information that can only be accessed by the State Supervisor.

Fengzhou has one prefecture and twelve counties.

As the capital of a State, Changfeng Prefecture had gathered a large number of aristocratic families and sects, and they had not suffered much from the military disaster. Although the population here was not as large as Lu County, it was still over 1.1 million.

Among the 12 districts, Lu County was the most prosperous and had the most population. It has more than 1.3 million people.

Yanshan County was the place where King Yan's army rose up. It was also considered as the rear of King Yan's army. It has been ruled for several years, and the livelihoods of the people should not be too bad.

However, Yanshan County was initially barren. Before the war, there were only about 500,000 people. It's very good there are still 200,000 people left.

As for Hedong County, Hongyuan County, and Shimen County, they had also been attacked by Yan bandits. Most of the people's businesses are gone, and people are struggling to survive. Their population has also plummeted. It is already a blessing to have over 500,000 people. Moreover, it was Luo'an County and Changxing County.

Although none of these places had experienced the calamity of war, the local governor came from a wealthy family and was only concerned with military force. He did not care about the livelihood of the people, and the other was a freeloader who did not care about military affairs. None of them are good people.

Under such a government, Luo'an County and Changxing County naturally fell apart. Countless people starved to death and froze to death in various districts. There were refugees and beggars everywhere, and probably less than 600,000 in total from both counties.

Yunshu County was a border fortress. The permanent population was less than 100,000, and there were no large clans or sects. Not even many traders. In such a place, implemented or not the decision of the new government does not make much difference.

Overall, Fengzhou's population was at most four million.

When Cui Heng saw this data, he was numb.

How big is Fengzhou?

In terms of area alone, it was equivalent to one Shanxi Province and half of Hebei Province on Earth.

Moreover, a lot of fertile soil is suitable for growing crops, which is why it is called Fengzhou.

In such a vast area and with such conditions, only about four million people remained.

How scary!

In fact, this was not considered rare in ancient societies that were destroyed by war.

However, to cultivate Cui Heng, it was a rather troublesome matter.

In places like Hedong County and Xiling County that suffered serious military disasters, the new decision was useless. This was because the local aristocratic sect had long since been killed.

Although Hongyuan County and Shimen had also suffered a military disaster, there were still the Great Prosperity Monastery and the Lotus Flower Monastery in these two places. There were quite a number of powerful landlords left, and they could be used as a place for second wave forces.

But no matter what, there were still too few people.

Even if the new government's decision was implemented throughout Fengzhou, it might not be able to gather enough Seven Emotions.

Therefore, he had to spread the decision to the surrounding area.

Otherwise, there will not be enough people.

Moreover, this would also cause dissatisfaction among the other district factions.

He can also receive a lot of emotional feedback.

The so-called surrounding area was actually the territory of a neighboring country. To put it bluntly, it was to expand Fengzhou's territory and population!

Whooshing sound!

Cui Heng put down the pile of information and closed his eyes slightly. After pondering for a moment, he opened his eyes and looked at the people below. He suddenly said, "Hui Shi, Chen Tong, listen."

At this moment, Zhang Shuming, Hui Shi, Liu Litao, Chen Tong, Xu Feng'an, and Wu Yin were standing in the inner hall.

Hui Shi and Chen Tong immediately stepped forward waiting for orders.

Cui Heng slightly nodded and said in a low voice, “I ordered Hui Shi to patrol seven counties. He could temporarily represent the administrative and military authorities of Lu County, Mount Yan, Hongyuan, Shimen County, Luo'an County, and Changxing County to implement the new decree.

Chen Tong, your order is to act as a military officer. You will temporarily follow Hui Shi to various districts to implement the new government decree. You can recruit soldiers and form an army. If you see commoners being bullied on the border with other states, you can act at will and lead your troops to save them.”

Once this order was given, everyone present knew what he meant.

He was clearly trying to expand his territory.

"Yes! We will follow your orders!”

Hui Shi and Chen Tong answered in unison and happily accepted the order.

Liu Litao and Xu Feng'an certainly did not mind. They were already familiar with Cui Heng's style of doing things. As long as he decided on something, he would definitely do it.

As for Zhang Shuming, he had already treated Cui Heng as the King of Heaven.

The King of Heaven naturally did whatever he wanted.

Not to mention in the Underworld, even the Upper World was the same.

"Supervisory Master, aren't you in too much of a hurry?" Wu Yin was a little worried. He stepped forward and persuaded, “I know you want to carry out the plan of Great Harmony and benefit the people of the world. This is a good deed.

However, if we rashly carry out such an intense campaign and seize another county to reform, I fear that it will cause all the sects and families of the world to go on a crazy counterattack.

300 years ago, Heavenly King Hongwu killed all the Divine Realm experts in the world and exterminated aristocratic families and sects. He almost brought the world together and rebuilt it. However, just as he was about to succeed, he suddenly disappeared. This was definitely not without the help of the Gods and Upper World Buddhas.

Master Supervisor, the 100-year period is approaching, and the Gods and Buddhas of the Upper World will soon descend. If you are too anxious, the Gods and Upper World Buddhas will definitely interfere. I'm afraid it will add to your suffering. Please reconsider.”

"Haha, what Master Wu said is exactly what I wanted." Cui Heng laughed when he heard that. He nodded and said, “With my political decision, the sect and aristocratic families that attacked Hongwu back then will indeed jump out.

“In addition, in two months, when the Gods and Upper World Buddhas descend and find the decision I have implemented, the people who attacked Hongwu back then will not be able to hold back anymore.

“At that time, we can catch them all and settle the score together! (revenge)

“How much effort has this done to save me?

"Why not?"
