Douluo: At the beginning, I mistakenly regard Bibi Dong as my sister

Chapter 252 The mess left by the elder hall
For decades, the Hall of Elders and the Hall of Wuhun have been attached to the army.

The two are not affiliated with each other, and are even on guard all the time.

For Wuhundian as a whole, it is undoubtedly a waste to have an army with two systems.

"Your Majesty, absolutely not!"

Ye Tian's words, once spoken.

There are officials who stand up against it.

Ye Tian glanced sideways, and he was still an official who originally belonged to the Pope's Palace.

His name is Wang Li, and he is the dean of Wuhundian Academy.

Although he is a Contra cultivator, his status is respected and he has the title of elder.

Although Wang Li's hair was white, his face was quite young, as if he was a middle-aged man.

He took a step forward, glanced at Ye Tian, ​​and saluted Bibi Dong:
"Army everywhere is the cornerstone of our Spirit Hall's stability."

"Now that Wuhun City has just experienced turmoil, the integration of the army must not be too hasty to avoid repeated turmoil."

After reporting his thoughts to Bibi Dong, Wang Li did not forget to teach Ye Tian suddenly.

"Ye Tian, ​​I've often heard about your reputation in recent days."

"It's just that Wuhundian has its own national conditions."

"The army and the major soul master families in the region break their bones and connect their tendons. Once you choose to attack the army, do you know how many families' interests you will touch?"

"If these families are alienated from our Spirit Hall and seek refuge with the two great empires, if one ebbs and the other, our Spirit Hall will lose the most!"

Wang Li's words resounded loudly, causing the officials on the left side of the hall to applaud.

As for the officials on the right, most of them were from the Hall of Elders. Now that the Hall of Elders has just been defeated, all the officials are afraid to speak out.

After listening to Wang Li's analysis, Bibi Dong's fair neck twitched slightly.

His expression was pensive.

Starting with the army is indeed a hassle.

After all, integrating the army is not as simple as appointing a few generals and canceling some numbers.

It is more about a series of complicated things such as the army's logistics, procurement, command authority at all levels, and defense zones.

Taking statistics as an example, the annual military expenditure of Wuhundian exceeds 500 million gold soul coins.

There are countless families of soul masters behind this.

If you want to integrate the army, you will inevitably run into the interests of these families.

It's better to divide the cake, but if you want to take the cake back, the resistance you will encounter will be even greater.

Bibi Dong rubbed her temples and sighed lightly.

The Hall of Elders did leave her with a good financial foundation, but it also left a mess waiting for her to clean up.

She looked at the handsome young man in front of the hall with her deep eyes, and said in a calm voice, "Ye Tian, ​​do you have a different opinion?"

"The plan for now is to cut the mess quickly."

Ye Tian looked at Wang Li not far away, and said seriously:
"Although I haven't stayed in Wuhundian for too long, I also know that the military composition of Wuhundian is similar to that of the two great empires."

"It is filled with a large number of desperadoes, old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers. As for the things that are empty-paid and domineering in the garrison, I don't need to say more."

"May I ask Dean Wang Li, how much combat power can such an army exert?"

Wang Li couldn't answer for a moment, he stared and said:

"Even though the Wuhundian's army has many shortcomings, they are all staunch supporters of our Wuhundian."

"It is precisely because of their existence that our Spirit Hall can be regarded as the number one force in the mainland, and the two great empires are in awe!"

At the end, Wang Li threw his sleeves angrily and raised his head proudly.

There was a smile on the corner of Ye Tian's mouth:
"Let me tell you, this kind of army will only spend the money of the Wuhun Temple, living in a comfortable state, dreaming and dying."

"When the mainland is full of wars, we may still be able to fight with the wind. Once the Wuhun Temple falls into a disadvantageous position, it is estimated that they will suddenly become an uprising force to encircle and suppress the Wuhun Temple."

"You..." Wang Li pointed at Ye Tian's nose and said angrily, "Why do you slander my Spirit Hall army out of thin air!"

"You, what reason do you have to accuse them!"

"Hehe, do you really have to wait for a war and the destruction of the Spirit Hall before you can fully agree with me?" Ye Tian's expression suddenly became solemn.

He didn't even look at Wang Li:
"May I ask Dean Wang Li, how many families of soul masters in various places are absolutely loyal to the Spirit Hall?"

"The world is so big, how can I know such things?"

Wang Li snorted and put his hands behind his back: "What's more, how can people's hearts be measured lightly?"

As expected of the dean of Wuhundian, the logic of the debate is indeed very clear.

But Ye Tian wouldn't fall into the hands of a little dean.

In other words, he never took the dean seriously.

Knowing the plot line well, he stands much higher than Wang Li.

It is too easy to find the reason to do it under the premise of knowing the result.

Ye Tian smiled slightly:
"Since the hearts of the people cannot be underestimated, Dean Wang Li should always know the taxes paid by the families of soul masters from all over the world, right?"

"Don't tell me that President Wang was dozing off today and didn't hear you when you were checking the taxes in various places."

"...Of course I know that!" Wang Li said with a blushing face.

"Now that I know, I have a question for Dean Wang Li."

Ye Tian folded his hands, smiling unabated:
"Excuse me, the mainland has been peaceful in the past few decades, but why is the annual tax of Wuhundian decreasing?"

"The military has hardly changed for decades, but why is military expenditure gradually increasing?"

"Where did the money go?"

Following Ye Tian's words, they were thrown out sentence by sentence.

Wang Li's complexion also turned livid.

In the original hall, there were still voices talking about Ye Tian.

But when he finished speaking, there was almost silence.

Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes kept turning around Ye Tian.

There is always a smile on the red lips.

Getting Xiaotian's help is really the greatest luck in her life.

"Principal Wang Li, why are you silent?"

Ye Tianping's peaceful eyes cast on the other party, which made Wang Li feel great pressure.

"This……"

"There is a specialization in art! I teach soul masters to practice, and I am not an official who counts finances!"

Wang Li's body couldn't help shrinking back, he said with a guilty conscience.

He didn't expect that the young man in front of him could speak more words than him.

Seeing Wang Li flinch, Ye Tian didn't say anything mocking.

Just state a fact calmly:
"These money all fell into the pockets of soul master families from all over the world."

"Most of these families have no loyalty to Spirit Hall at all."

"It's just that I feel that Wuhundian is a big tree with deep and stable roots, so it can enjoy the shade."

"When the tree falls and the hozen disperses, these families will not only be of no benefit to the Spirit Hall, but will even pick some fruits from the tree to please the new master."

Ye Tian's words were not loud.

But spread to every corner of the hall.

All the officials shut their mouths tightly and remained silent.

Isn't the family of soul masters that Ye Tian is talking about referring to officials like them?

Behind them is a family that has been passed down for hundreds of years.

The children of the family hold important positions in various parts of the Wuhun Hall, forming a huge network of relationships.

Ye Tian's words, in normal times, all the officials would definitely stand up and refute desperately.

After all, integrating the army is simply robbing them of their pocketbooks.

But today, it is different.

Pope Bibidong suppressed the digital offerings in the Presbyterian Hall forcefully.

This thunderous method really scared them a lot.

Even the enshrined in the elder hall, who is as strong as the elders, can't fight against Bibi Dong.

If they stand up, they will be the leaders.

Whether you can walk out of the hall is another matter.

Therefore, the officials are all silent at this time, and dare not speak out to refute.

"Crack, snap, snap."

Several crisp applause resounded in the hall.

On Bibi Dong's majestic face, there was a rare stretch of smile.

This smile makes the country allure.

But this kind of smile, in the eyes of the officials, is full of arrogance and murderous intent.

Their heads were lowered even more, for fear of being called by Bibi Dong.

Bibi Dong stood up lightly from her seat, and glanced coldly at the hall officials:
"I think what Xiaotian said makes sense."

"Who is for and who is against?"

"..."

Silent.

Bibi Dong waved his hand: "Well, then do it like this."

"It's getting late, everyone back down."

"Ye Tian stay."

Finally, Bibi Dong added a sentence.

As soon as this word comes out.

All the officials left in an orderly manner.

The entire Angel Cathedral has returned to its former emptiness.

Da da.

Bibi Dong stepped on the steps, walked down from the throne, and came in front of Ye Tian.

The expression put down the majesty just now, put a jade hand on Ye Tian's shoulder, and said with a light smile:
"Xiao Tian, ​​didn't you let me plan the swap policy a few days ago?"

"Today I thought you would continue to promote the swap policy."

"How did it become a purge of the army?"

Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes were full of doubts.

"Times are changing, too."

Ye Tian took Bibi Dong's jade hand and walked towards the inner hall of the Angel Church.

"Actually, the dean Wang Li just now said part of what he said, and he was right."

"Once the Hall of Elders falls, the entire Hall of Spirits will be in turmoil."

"If the swap policy is implemented at this time and the interests of the majority of soul master families are touched, there may be a real rebellion."

"But just purge the army, it's different."

"The interests in the army are only part of the interests of the families."

"If you implement this, there will be much less resistance."

Following Ye Tian's pace, after Bibi Dong pondered, a gleam of light flashed in her beautiful eyes.

"I understand that the integration of the army and the exchange of local officials are not unrelated."

"If the integration of the army is successfully implemented, it will be much easier to carry out the swap!"

"You're pretty smart." Ye Tian wanted to reach out and pinch Bibi Dong's fair face, but he stopped in mid-air.

After all, Bibi Dong is not Hu Liena, she has an aloof personality, and it's not suitable for her to use her hands and feet.

Seeing Ye Tian's hand movements, Bibi Dong's lips flashed an indifferent smile, and she didn't pay much attention to it:

"As the pope, he is always in the midst of calculations, and his head is not smart, so he can't do it.

Now that the focus of the next work has been determined.

Bibi Dong also raised her head and asked:

"Xiaotian, which part do you think is more appropriate to start integrating the army?"

Hearing this, Ye Tian also hesitated for a moment.

Then said: "Disarmament."

"I have already thought about the reasons. Now that the mainland is peaceful, the Wuhundian has reduced the size of the army in order to be an envoy of peace."

"In this way, the two empires can be paralyzed."

"Did I hear you right?" Bibi Dong was slightly taken aback: "You mean disarmament?"

"But now the army of Wuhundian is less than 30."

"Not even comparable to either of the two empires."

"I'm still thinking about expanding the army while I have money."

"In this way, the Wuhun Palace will be safe."

Regarding Ye Tian's words, Bibi Dong was deeply puzzled.

Ye Tian said angrily: "Abolition of the army does not mean that the combat effectiveness of the army has declined."

"My wife, you don't think that the entire army of the Spirit Hall is like the three major knight orders, each of which is an elite?"

Ye Tian doubted whether Bibi Dong had ever inspected the army.

"Although it is not as strong as the Tiance Army in your hands... it shouldn't be much worse, right?" Bibi Dong frowned.

These words made Ye Tian ashamed: "Huh?! Not much worse?"

"Soldiers of the Wuhun Temple in Donghai City, my wife, have you always been in contact with them?"

"I have indeed been exposed to this, and the combat effectiveness and discipline are indeed very poor." Bibi Dong nodded: "However, in a small place like Donghai City, the discipline is poor, so it should be considered within the normal range."

"But what if I told you that the army of Donghai City is considered the elite of the Spirit Hall?"

Ye Tian said quietly.

This is not a lie.

Donghai City can be regarded as a small and wealthy trading city, so it has more money than other cities in terms of army building.

Moreover, Donghai City is adjacent to the sea, and pirates often harass it.

With the enemy's army, the combat power will naturally not be stretched anywhere.

But the troops stationed in inland cities are different.

In the Douluo Continent for nearly a hundred years, there have been few large-scale wars.

Therefore, the army also released the horses to Nanshan, returned the weapons to the warehouse, and completely let themselves go.

Absence from daily training can only be considered a minor problem.

After listening to Ye Tian's words, Bibi Dong's footsteps obviously paused.

Some couldn't believe it: "Such an army can be counted as the elite of the Spirit Hall?"

"Although it's hard to believe, it really exists." Ye Tian shrugged.

Bibi Dong's expression became more and more dignified, and she put her hand on her chin and said, "It seems that the reform of the army is imperative."

"Fortunately, you are here, Xiaotian, so you can discover this problem in time."

"Otherwise, there will be an embarrassing situation where there will be no soldiers in the Spirit Hall if there is a real friction with the two great empires."

Speaking of this, Bibi Dong turned sideways and said:
"Xiaotian, can your Tiance Army be sent to the Wuhundian army as an instructor?"

"If the army of Wuhundian has the strength of Tiance's army, then I can also sweep the entire continent."

Regarding Bibi Dong's request, Ye Tian shook his head and said with a smile:

"My wife, think about it simply."

"The army cannot be trained overnight."

"The Tiance Army's troops are all peasants, and they have been good for generations. They have long been accustomed to submitting to others, so they only need a short period of training and instilling a glorious belief, and they can achieve the goal of prohibition."

"However, the composition of the Wuhundian's army is very complicated, and many of them are desperadoes. They serve as soldiers just to make a living. Soldiers like this don't train a few times before they can show the effect of order and prohibition."

There was some regret in Bibi Dong's eyes, and she smiled bitterly: "As expected, nothing is easy to accomplish.
