Lu Linfeng worshiped Wu Yazi as his teacher, and Gan Baobao worshiped Tianshan Tonglao as his teacher. Although Lu Linfeng's cultivation method is different from the Xiaoyao sect's inner strength cultivation route, given his current state, the true energy in his body is flowing smoothly, and he can move the true energy according to any route.

In just three days, Lu Linfeng mastered the Tianshan Six Yang Palm under the guidance of the Tianshan Child Elder. As for Gan Baobao, although he worshiped Tianshan Tonglao as his teacher, his "Bahuang Liuhe Solitary Self-respecting Gong" requires food and blood to cultivate, so Gan Baobao did not practice, but practiced "Small Wuxiang Gong". As for the origin, it is No more cliffs.

Half a month later, Lu Linfeng learned the Tianshan Liuyang Palm, Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand, Life and Death Talisman and Sound Transmission Soul Searching Technique. As for Gan Baobao, she only learned "Xiao Wuxiang Kung" and "Lingbo Weibu". Her cultivation level is still shallow and she cannot practice martial arts such as Tianshan Liuyang Palm.

That day, Lu Linfeng left Leigu Mountain with Gan Baobao and rushed to Kaifeng. There is a Tianshan child grandmother here in Wuyazi. If Ding Chunqiu comes again, she will probably be torn into pieces.

Lu Linfeng flew the aircraft swaggeringly above the Song Dynasty Palace. Such a shocking thing immediately alerted the civil and military officials of the entire court. Song Shenzong led a group of officials to the aircraft. Seeing someone wearing a dragon robe coming out, Lu Linfeng opened the hatch and flew out with Baobao Gan on his hang glider. He opened the space door of Xiaotiandi in the sky, and Sha Niu drove the aircraft in. Seeing this scene, the group of people below felt that Lu Linfeng was a god.

Seeing Lu Linfeng slowly falling down, Zhao Xu quickly knelt down and shouted: "The Emperor of the Lower Realm, pay homage to the angel!"

Song Shenzong believed that Lu Linfeng was a messenger from heaven.

Lu Linfeng raised his hand, and Zhao Xu was pulled up by a force. He said: "Get up!"

"Thank you angel!" Zhao Xu said excitedly.

When Zhao Xu got up, Lu Linfeng said to him: "I have actually been demoted to the lower realm this time. The Jade Emperor wants me to assist the Human Emperor to restore the prosperity of the Kaiyuan Dynasty and to surpass it on this basis."

Zhao Xu was a little excited after hearing this, and Lu Linfeng continued: "I have been in the lower world for several months. I have been in Hangzhou and Yangzhou before, and I have a somewhat understanding of the current situation. In Yangzhou, I opened a bank called Lu's Yangzhou Bank. I think someone here should have heard of it?”

"It turned out to be the work of an angel! No wonder there are those magical things!" Zhao Xu had obviously heard about it.

Lu Linfeng nodded and said with a smile: "I will stay in the lower world for about thirty to fifty years this time. You can make me a powerful prince and make me happy."

There is an essential difference between the vassal kings of the Song Dynasty and the vassal kings of other dynasties. The vassal kings of the Song Dynasty only gave wealth and honor, not rights, and had no actual rights. Princes can be crowned kings, but the king's title is only reserved for one generation. The descendants of the vassal king can only choose the oldest person to be crowned as a duke. In fact, to put it simply, the son of the vassal king can no longer be crowned king. , only one person can succeed the Duke. After two generations, the children of the clan can only join the court and pass the qualifications like ordinary officials. Only if they do well can they be named county kings. As for vassal kings, forget about them.

"I wonder what word the angel wants to use as a title?" Zhao Xu asked. The angel wanted a prince to title him, which had to be arranged, and it was a piece of cake for him.

"It doesn't matter." Lu Linfeng said, "It's up to you. Besides, everyone happens to be here now. Let's go to Zichen Palace first. I want to set the tone."

Zhao Xu welcomed Lu Linfeng and Gan Baobao into the Zichen Palace. He respectfully asked Lu Linfeng to sit on his dragon chair, but Lu Linfeng refused.

Zhao Xu was still sitting on the dragon chair, but he had people move seats for Lu Linfeng and Gan Baobao. During the Qin and Han dynasties, monarchs and ministers sat down to discuss matters, but from the Northern Song Dynasty onwards, ministers had to stand.

All the courtiers lined up and stood up. Lu Linfeng stood up and said: "The Jade Emperor asked me to at least restore the Kaiyuan prosperity, so that I can be recalled again. If it can be more prosperous than the Kaiyuan prosperity, I will go further. Therefore, the decrees I will issue in the future , I will not be lenient to anyone who violates the law. Although my divine power is sealed, I still have some means. As for what means, you will naturally know when someone falls into my hands."

"I'll obey!" The officials below looked at each other and said in unison.

"Very good." Lu Linfeng laughed, "I learned about Xining's reform some time ago and thought it was pretty good. However, there was a struggle between the old and new parties in the government, and Xining's reform touched the interests of some conservative people, so it is still I haven’t seen any big results.”

As soon as Lu Linfeng said these words, those who opposed the reform felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts.

As expected, Lu Linfeng continued: "The first thing is to make every effort to reform the tax system. Starting tomorrow, the head tax, also known as the Ding tax, will be abolished and replaced by an acre tax. Anyone who has fields at home will be taxed according to the number of acres. Twenty If the amount is less than 10 acres, the tax is 1; if it is more than 20 acres and less than 100 acres, the tax is 2; if the amount is more than 100 acres and less than 200 acres, the tax is 3; if the amount is more than 200 acres and less than 500 acres, the tax is 4; For more than 100 acres and less than 1,000 acres, the tax is 50 per ten; for the land above 1,000 acres, the tax is 6 per 10.”

After hearing this, the ministers all opened their mouths. This tax system is completely killing big landowners like them!

Lu Linfeng continued: "Of course, the tax system reform cannot be accomplished overnight. It will be implemented starting from Kaifeng and surrounding areas..."

There wasn't much going on on this day. Lu Linfeng just decided on the agricultural tax reform, and also gathered craftsmen to study muskets and artillery. Of course, the agricultural tax reform cannot be what he said, and the specific content still needs to be studied, but the tone will not change. In addition, Zhao Xu named Lu Linfeng the King of Lu based on his surname. According to Lu Linfeng's wishes, his fiefdom was Youzhou, which was still in the hands of the Liao Kingdom.

Lu Linfeng and Gan Baobao temporarily lived in the palace for the past two days. As for his palace in Kaifeng, Song Shenzong Zhao Xu had already sent people to take care of it. The mansion was originally the residence of a second-grade official. Three years ago, he committed a crime and was thrown into the sky jail, so the mansion became vacant. Although compared to other royal palaces, this palace is still not worthy of his status, Lu Linfeng is not a fussy person. For him, this palace is big enough.

After dinner with Zhao Xu and the Queen, Lu Linfeng and Zhao Xu came to the imperial study.

After the two sat down, Lu Linfeng said to Zhao Xu, "Do you know why I set such a heavy agricultural tax?"

Zhao Xu said: "The angel wants to attack those wealthy gentry."

Lu Linfeng said: "This is just one of them. The demise of a dynasty was due to excessive annexation of land. Farmers lost their basis for survival and had no way to survive, so they rebelled. Although the Song Dynasty is still far away from that step, there are already signs... …”

Lu Linfeng had a conversation with Zhao Xu about land and business, which benefited him a lot, but it still took Lu Linfeng to make the reform go forward, and Song Shenzong was not that courageous yet.

"In addition, tomorrow you choose two people as envoys. I will take them to the Liao Kingdom tomorrow to let them and the people of the Liao Kingdom experience the power of my magic weapon, and then bring back the Sixteenth State of Yanyun."
