Chapter 469 Adjustment
After gaining absolute authority, Zhou Ming was only busy with one thing for more than a year.

kill.

Killing all the time.

He didn't know exactly how many were killed. Anyway, after the establishment of the Purge Bureau in his hands, twelve elite purge teams were in action every day, killing people every day.

Very busy.

Later in the Xiaoyao Palace, when people heard the words "Cleaning Bureau", their faces changed drastically, and they kept silent like a cicada, no one dared to be presumptuous.

The existence of the Clearing Bureau created an extremely terrifying atmosphere.

Not only a large number of Shuoshu in Xiaoyao Palace were slaughtered, but even greater changes took place in the mortal world.

Heads also drop more.

And most of them are the heads of the disciples of Xiaoyao Palace.

Because Zhou Ming implemented the reform of "separation of immortals and mortals", except for some important mines, all monks sent by Xiaoyao Palace to garrison mortal cities must return to Xiaoyao Palace within a time limit.

For the cities in the mortal world, Xiaoyao Palace no longer sends people to directly control them, allowing these cities to return to self-government, and then set an offering quota. Among the thousands of cities in the world, countless cheers were attracted, the people of Xiaoyao Palace are leaving, it's great, it's great!

During this process, some were used to domineering in mortal cities. Of course, they were reluctant to become disciples of Xiaoyao Palace of the Shangtu Emperor, and even flatly refused, and recruited troops, preparing to launch a rebellion.

Such recalcitrant elements were naturally reduced to dust under the attack of the Lingyuan Fleet, and their wealth, together with the property they frantically looted, all entered the coffers of Xiaoyao Palace.

And those disciples who accepted the recall order and had no choice but to return to Xiaoyao Palace did not end well, and most of them were killed by the Clearing Bureau.

Because Zhou Ming drew a red line for these disciples, if these disciples brought property from the mortal world with a total value of more than 500 million spirit coins, they would be executed immediately, and the property would be put into the treasury.

Relying on this method, Zhou Ming gathered more than 3000 billion spirit coins.

And the total value of the property collected from their homes by the group of Shuoshu that was killed also exceeded 5000 billion spirit coins.

The sum of the two is more than 8000 billion Lingcoins.

In just one year, the money bank of Xiaoyao Palace has become extremely full again.

But the palace lord Jiang Ruonan didn't feel happy at all, instead he was extremely annoyed.

Because Zhang Shanhe killed too many people, too exaggerated!
For example, in Xiaoyao Palace, there were more than 1000 people who were defined by him as "big rats", all of them were executed, and the number of elder disciples in Xiaoyao Palace's inner sect was reduced by one-third... Among them, dozens of them were the ones she relied on the most. Confidants, advisers, and flatterers, these people were suddenly eliminated without her noticing, often catching her by surprise.

For example, there were two disciples who were unwilling to hand over their belongings but were afraid of being killed by the Clearing Bureau. They followed Jiang Ruonan every day. Zhang Shanhe's thoughts.

Unexpectedly, the two waited outside the bathhouse for a while while Jiang Ruonan was taking a bath, and then they were killed by the action team members of the Clearing Bureau.

What's even more exaggerated is that Jiang Ruonan didn't know the fact that the two disciples were killed until two months later.

For this reason, she was extremely angry, called Zhou Ming over, and scolded him coldly.

She also threatened: "If you dare to kill my disciple at will, I will kill you!"

Zhou Ming had a calm face, and said lightly:

"These two good disciples of yours have taken tens of billions of money belonging to you from the treasury, and possessed hundreds of beautiful mortal women. In your three thousand harem, there are dozens of people who are related to the two of them." Ran, and some even gave birth to their children."

"Do you know how the two of them call you behind their backs? Bitch, you owe a man a bastard, if your cultivation level is not high enough, you would have already been at the mercy of these two disciples, but you still think they are very good?"

"Let me tell you, in Xiaoyao Palace, almost everyone speaks ill of you behind your back, laughs at your stupidity, almost everyone deserves to be killed, do you really think anyone among them is trustworthy?"

"Don't deceive yourself, you have said it yourself, you have no confidants, only servants, naturally, in this Happy Palace, apart from using each other, don't expect anyone to be loyal to you."

There was an extreme pain in my heart.

Heart-eating Gu broke out.

violent seizures.

Zhou Ming's face instantly turned into a piece of gold paper, as if his heart had been eaten away.

There was a wry smile on his face. Over the past ten years, he has been looking for a way to deal with the heart-biting Gu, but all of them are ineffective. It is said that only the Holy Spirit has the ability to eliminate this Gu.

After a long time, when I really felt like I was going to hang up, I felt a sharp pain in my heart, which disappeared like an ebb tide.

Jiang Ruonan also disappeared. He disappeared for more than three months without knowing why.

During this period of time, Zhou Ming handled the affairs of the mortal world well. Except for those important mines, the "separation of immortals and mortals" was basically realized.

In addition, for the more than 100 large-scale projects that Jiang Ruonan ordered people to carry out, Zhou Ming stopped funding and stopped all of them. Hundreds of millions of people were liberated.

Countless lives were rescued.

Countless families have been reunited.

Everywhere in the mortal world is the voice of singing praises, and hundreds of millions of civilians kowtowed and bowed in the direction of Xiaoyao Palace with tears in their eyes.

"Okay, bad people and bad things are all done by me alone, good people and good things are all done by you alone!"

"Now the mortal world is preaching about you as a 'Saint Zhang', and no one in Xiaoyao Palace dares to oppose you. Well, my world, how about you, Saint Zhang, take it all away?"

Jiang Ruonan appeared again, with a face full of frost, and appeared next to him, gnashing his teeth in his words.

"No hurries?"

"Those projects of yours are just short-lived."

Zhou Ming didn't turn his head to look at her, and said lightly: "Recruiting civil servants is the method of project development with the lowest work efficiency, the worst construction quality, and the highest economic cost. If it were in Wancheng Country, there would not be a city that would adopt this backward method. approach to large-scale projects.”

"Moreover, Xiaoyao Palace doesn't know how to play the role of a monk except to drive weak civilian husbands."

"I have already sent several telegrams to Wanchengguo. A large construction team is being formed there, carrying cranes, excavators, mixers and other engineering equipment. After they are sent to Dongyuanzhou, the projects you proposed , the construction cost will be reduced by at least [-]%, the time will be shortened by half, and as for the manpower, it only needs a few hundredth of the previous one.”

Under purely mechanized construction conditions, a spiritual crane is equivalent to thousands of civilian workers; an excavator or mixer is also equivalent to hundreds of civilian workers, and the efficiency is of course high.

For example, if Jiang Ruonan wants to use the thousand-storey pagoda to enjoy the scenery, if the professional construction team of Wan Chengguo can do it, it can be guaranteed to be completed within three years. Not to mention, the total cost of the project will not exceed 50 billion spiritual coins... The cost can be saved in half.

In terms of quality, we can strive for excellence.

Naturally, it also satisfies Zhou Ming's own little selfishness - to stimulate the economic growth of Wancheng Kingdom through the Dongyuanzhou project.

When Zhou Ming said that hiring a professional construction team has so many benefits, Jiang Ruonan had nothing to say and could only nod.

And when she heard Zhou Ming's thoughts about the "man-made lake" project with a radius of three thousand miles, Jiang Ruonan's eyes lit up even more.

"For your 'man-made lake' project, in fact, you don't need to spend a single spirit coin, and you don't need to recruit hundreds of millions of people to dig for more than ten years. You only need to drive the Lingyuan fleet over, with the main guns facing the ground, and bombard them continuously for several months. A big pit, after the water flows in automatically, a man-made lake will naturally form, why bother?"

Jiang Ruonan clapped his hands and applauded, this method is wonderful, it is really wonderful!

"We will drive the Lingyuan Fleet over tomorrow and blast out a lake!"

Jiang Ruonan, who was eager to try, turned from cloudy to sunny, and she was so playful that she wished to create a lake right away.

Therefore, after the man-made lake was successfully blasted out by the Lingyuan Fleet, Zhou Ming became the play instructor of Jiang Ruonan, the female devil, for quite a long time. While accompanying her in all kinds of nonsense, he also provided her with countless ideas.

For example, he designed a variety of mazes. After building this maze in a short period of time, he experienced it first, then put a lot of treasure in the center of the maze, and asked someone to set up a ticket collection point, which attracted many people. Many people entered the experience and actually earned a lot of ticket fees.

For example, next to a mortal city, there is a Disney playground, which has dozens of experience items such as roller coasters, carousels, slides, and pirate ships. , Set up a ticket collection point, fully open to the public, and generated considerable income.

So Zhou Ming said to her like this:
"It doesn't matter if you love to play. Everyone has a nature to love to play, but it is meaningful to play. While bringing happiness to yourself, you must also bring happiness to others. By the way, a small entrance fee will be charged to create hundreds of jobs. The profits generated are enough to keep these projects forever, so that you can continue to play in the future, unlike other projects that cost countless money, but you can only play once or twice."

"What's more, it's better to have fun alone than to have fun with others. Playing alone is really meaningless."

Zhou Ming's nagging words were actually to persuade her not to spend money recklessly. Jiang Ruonan didn't take it seriously, but the last sentence touched her heart.

She turned her head and looked at the white-haired old man beside her. The wrinkled face was full of persuasion and helplessness, which moved her heart.

"Zhang Shanhe, you are too old. I don't want you to die so soon. Then I will refine one Zengyang Pill for you. After taking it for you, I will serve me for a few more years."

After saying these words, for some reason, Jiang Ruonan found that his heart beat a little faster.

Immediately, I cursed secretly in my heart: what's going on, it's just an old and ugly old man.

But Jiang Ruonan suddenly thought that in addition to Zengyang Pill, there are many other types of elixir that can restore youth.

If so...

His heartbeat quickened a little, and he looked at the old man beside him again... He was quite handsome when he was young.

"No need, life and death are predestined, life is determined by God, you must not go against the sky, and you don't want to kill for me, then I would rather commit suicide."

Zhou Ming shook his head and refused.

But he didn't see Jiang Ruonan's beautiful eyes, which seemed to have made up his mind.
