Douluo: Possess Eight Magic Skills
Chapter 550: a new beginning
After a short period of time, in the entire Douluo Continent, almost all the evil soul master organizations that had colluded with the local government were wiped out.
In the process, more Evil Soul Masters have been annihilated than the Spirit Hall has destroyed in the past ten years. Among them, there are as many as five Titled Douluo-level Evil Soul Masters, and hundreds of Soul Douluo and Soul Saint-level masters. Evil Soul Master, this is something that has never happened in the past hundred years.
If you don't count the evil spirit masters who were annihilated in this large-scale operation, the last time the titled Douluo-level evil spirit masters appeared in the Wuhun Temple can be traced back to two hundred years ago, and the Soul Douluo level is also in the more than eighty years ago.
It is enough to show that the evil soul master has always been hiding in this continent, and has always been developing silently and secretly watching everything that happened on the continent, waiting for the opportunity to make a comeback.
Without this crackdown, I don't know how much chaos will be caused in the future.
Although major troubles have been avoided, there have been many small troubles.
As we all know, this operation not only wiped out the Evil Soul Master, but also dug up a large number of government officials who had various connections and transactions with the Evil Soul Master.
Moreover, because this time, Spirit Hall and Si En Hall were solely responsible for all related actions, and other spirit master forces and countries basically cooperated with each other.
After all, Spirit Hall is the strongest old-fashioned power. Although Si'en Hall is a new force, it has both a well-known titled Douluo and actually controls most of the territory of the former Star Luo Empire. Neither one is easy to mess with. One has the ability to characterize himself as an "Evil Soul Master" at this time.
In this sensitive period, it is natural to do more than one less.
Therefore, each of the officials who were identified did not have someone to "wipe their butts" for them, and they were directly dealt with by the two organizations that were mainly responsible.
Whether it was captured by Wuhun Temple or Sien Temple, they were directly paraded in the city where they once belonged, and they kept reading the year they took office and the year they had contact with the evil soul master, as well as the interrogation. offense.
In this way, this action has achieved the effect of killing two birds with one stone.
"Destroying Evil Soul Master" is the first bird, and the second bird is that it completely crushed the prestige of various countries among their people.
Thanks to the propaganda among the people since the establishment of the Wuhun Temple, almost all the people know that the evil soul master is not a good thing, and some people who are affected by the evil soul master even hate the evil soul master.
Now those people who have been harmed by the evil soul master know that the government of their city not only doesn't care about the harm they have suffered, but also acts as a helper and abuser, which may be the culprit behind their tragedy.
These officials have done so many things related to the evil soul masters, and they have never been discovered by their superiors. They have been eating and drinking on their heads for so many years, and they are naturally excited!
Some people even pointed out that the princes and nobles of various countries, and even the royal family, said that these people may also be the vested interests of trading and cooperation with the evil spirit masters, which has allowed these officials to exist for such a long time.
As a result, people everywhere have lost their trust in the local government. In this world where the class is extremely rigid because of soul masters, many ordinary people have the idea of uprising.
But there are always a minority of people who think this way. They have neither money nor soldiers. The key point is that few soul masters will respond. More people just want to say goodbye to the current government completely and hope that they will be replaced by a new government. .
People's minds change, this is not a good thing for the princes and nobles who rule the country, especially the Heaven Dou Empire that is now split into two pieces. I don't want to pay tax anymore.
Those people also wanted to use force to solve the problem and force the people to pay taxes, but many soldiers' relatives were also persecuted by the evil spirit masters. Basically, very few soldiers would seriously urge the people to pay the taxes. The big deal is to go home and farm.
Naturally, this matter was nothing to the half controlled by Spirit Hall. Of course, they hoped that these officials from the former Heaven Dou Empire would be as prestigious as possible, and they would not be in a hurry to spend money, and this would make it easier for them to operate in the future.
But Xue Xing, who controls the other half of the territory, is not at all uncomfortable. He has always regarded it as his responsibility to fight against the Spirit Hall. He never thought that there could be any problems with his subordinates, and he probably almost forgot about the evil spirit master. exists.
But that's right, how could a royal family member like Xue Xing be harassed by evil soul masters in this era? Who cares how the people are? Always keep in mind that "Wuhun Temple is not a good thing" and that's it, don't worry about the rest.
Xue Xing's mentality is also the mentality of the rulers of other kingdoms and principalities. Although they are not unable to collect taxes, the people are dissatisfied with the government, productivity has plummeted, and taxes have been reduced by more than half.
However, there is a large area of people who are very safe~lightnovelpub.net~ Not only do they pay what they should, but they are also very motivated to produce, and the total tax is 20 to 30% higher than before.
This place is naturally the territory of Si En - the territory of the entire former Star Luo Empire.
As the Abyss Demon Sect around Musian City was completely wiped out, Sien Hall naturally marched south and took down the remaining big city in one fell swoop.
However, because Si'en Hall contributed a lot in the process of exterminating the evil spirit masters and won the approval of a large number of people, the remaining cities basically surrendered.
The army was still ten miles away from the city gate, and they could see the city gate wide open, and the only thing left was the people holding up banners with the words "warm welcome" written on them.
First, they tried their best to exterminate the evil spirit masters. Later, the army entered the city and put the people first. The military discipline was strict. There was not a single incident of looting the people's fat and the people, and they didn't even bother the residents, which formed a sharp contrast with those "old times" troops.
At the same time, since the city was occupied without a single soldier and there was nothing to repair, the Sien Hall simply opened a branch hall to replace the previous administrative organization and the branch of the Craftsmen Association to improve the level of local craftsmen.
In addition, the Sien Hall had deliberately captured those former Star Luo Empire officials who had colluded with the evil soul masters but had been replaced and retired, and paraded them on the streets and hanged them in public, which further strengthened the trust of the common people in the Sien Hall.
After such a set, the common people naturally feel that it is far better to do things under the command of the Si'en Hall than before, and the former Xingluo royal family can't compare with the Si'en Hall at all.
With so many positive buffs, it can be said that everything is ready, only the last step is needed.
Half a year after the extermination of the Yuan Demon Sect, Davis issued a declaration as the current emperor of the Star Luo Empire:
Due to the recurrence of the old wounds in the Battle of Xingluo City, it was difficult for me to handle political affairs, and there was no prince or blood relatives alive.
