Chapter 179 I am too poor to comply!
After the family affairs were quickly resolved, Xu Tianyi's next problems were not so complicated.
Most of them are about the details of carrying out the task.
This includes aspects such as population census, class regulations for aristocratic families, land reform, and industrial and agricultural development.
This series of transactions recorded over a thousand items.
The management of an entire city is contained within it, and even the management of villages are included.
Other tasks included recruiting and pacifying mountain bandits, eliminating them, and opening up roads.
After experiencing a series of major battles, Xu Tianyi realized that he was still limited by the inherent mindset of the feudal dynasty.
Using the military to fight nowadays is completely inefficient.
We should consider using elite warriors in combat, or in other words, only consider military operations after we have a sufficient number of skilled fighters.
Therefore, the army was temporarily used to defend the city, not to attack.
I currently control Leizhou and urgently need time to develop my strength.
Therefore, Xu Tianyi temporarily established a martial arts academy, gathering martial arts experts from Leizhou to exchange ideas and strive to acquire more grandmasters.
Everything must be done with the defense of Leizhou as the top priority, so a large number of masters will come to give lectures.
He would even give lectures himself.
. . . .
The series of matters have finally been discussed and resolved.
The full-day meeting left everyone both excited and exhausted.
The meeting resumed the following day, reviewed the previous day's content, and reiterated the tasks that needed to be carried out.
On the third day, the officials and noble families returned to their towns one after another and began to gradually implement the new policies.
. . .
Three days later, Xu Tianyi also began to gather the martial spirits to prepare for the lecture.
There are over a hundred martial arts experts in Leizhou, but only seven are grandmasters. Including Xu Tianyi and others, there are still more than ten.
But he was still somewhat worried, as Gu Qinghan had not yet returned.
He instructed the guardians of the Valley God Sect to inquire about Wei Qing's whereabouts, but there was no follow-up.
A large number of remnants of the Valley God Sect from Yuanzhou joined Leizhou.
In the second half of the year, Leizhou quieted down.
. . .
Let's rewind to four days ago.
Gu Qinghan suddenly received news that the Crown Prince was seriously ill and urgently summoned her back.
In fact, she also found it suspicious, but she couldn't help but believe it.
After leaving a few words, she quickly headed to Yanzhou.
Originally, she thought that as a grandmaster, she would be no match for him, and since the other party was her father, he wouldn't be a threat to her.
After all, I've been there several times myself.
Unexpectedly, they had just arrived in Yanwu City.
The crown prince was safe and sound, and his younger brothers and sisters were also there.
Gu Qinghan suddenly felt a sense of panic.
"What does Father mean by this?"
The Crown Prince was filled with resentment: "What do I mean? Qinghan, what do you mean? You raised the banner of rebellion under the leadership of our father, and now that I have returned, you dare to try to establish yourself?"
He had tried to appeal to Gu Qinghan's emotions countless times, but to his surprise, she didn't buy it at all.
He even produced the recording stone, demonstrating that Ning Hongye had killed Gu Feixue.
Gu Qinghan still didn't believe it, and even brought up a Taoist priest to cover up the lie for her enemy!
Now that she has returned to the Wuji Empire, as the eldest princess, she not only refuses to let her send people to take over Leizhou, but also wants Yanzhou to implement their policies as well.
It's absolutely ridiculous!
My own benevolence and righteousness are reserved for the scholar-officials; what do they have to do with these lowly slaves?
He has now lost patience.
Xu Tianyi made excuses, saying he was in seclusion, but who knows how long his seclusion will last?
Who knows if he's just making excuses to avoid relinquishing his power?
Everyone has ambition, and the Crown Prince was well aware of this.
After hearing this, Gu Qinghan felt a chill in her heart.
In the past, the Crown Prince had always been a gentle father figure in her presence, doting on her. She felt guilty about losing her father's love and wanted to make up for it.
But now, amidst the intertwining of power and ambition, the Crown Prince's true colors disgust him.
"Leizhou was taken down step by step by Tianyi and me. It is the result of our hard work."
Tianyi is currently in seclusion, yet you can't even wait a few more days?"
The crown prince chuckled and fell silent.
Pei Qing, the strategist below the stage, immediately stood up and said, "Your Highness, we have now sent the letter of reward to Muhua City. I believe that after reading it, Consort Xu will agree to submit to and assist the Crown Prince."
Ji Yan from the Ji family echoed, "That's right. All the major families in Leizhou, including many officials and wealthy merchants, are hoping that the Crown Prince will come to Leizhou and ascend the throne again in the future."
Now that the rebellious King Qi has suffered a crushing defeat and his morale is so low, we should press our advantage and storm the capital city in one fell swoop!
“That’s right, Princess, don’t forget, you are a member of the royal family! Without this status, how could you have obtained the entire Leizhou?”
...
A series of classical allusions fueled Gu Qinghan's extreme anger.
She was a person who hated evil, and her stubborn nature, which made her even more determined.
"Enough!!"
Her sharp shout silenced the entire room.
"Father! If this is all you have to say, then Qinghan is afraid she cannot comply!"
Her eyes were resolute as she coldly stared at her so-called father.
He existed in her memory, but now that he had suddenly appeared, Gu Qinghan felt that he was not one of her kind.
They are not family.
Because she had been living with Xu Tianyi for a long time, she had already found her place in life.
The cause in Leizhou is not only Xu Tianyi's, but also hers.
This was also one of the reasons she rebelled.
Upon hearing her words, the Crown Prince understood immediately.
He immediately said, "Qinghan, you are a princess. You have not followed proper etiquette and have already pledged your life to me. I can declare that Xu Tianyi is not worthy of the title of consort, and I can also betroth you to someone else."
Everything depends on your single thought! Loyalty and filial piety are the foundation of survival. No one in Leizhou will believe in or follow a person who is neither loyal nor filial.
On the contrary, everyone will call him a traitor who stole the country!
Gu Qinghan's heart sank, and tears slowly fell from her eyes.
"No one believes him, but I do! Even without the identity of the princess, he can still achieve immortal feats!"
The Wuji Empire is already corrupt, and even if you, Father, return to the throne, it will still be rotten to the core!
I'm fed up with you bureaucrats of the old world!
I'm tired of your so-called loyalty, righteousness, filial piety, and integrity!
You think you can take Leizhou without bloodshed? You can't do it!
Qinghan dislikes fighting, but she hates it even more when she can't get what she wants!
Goodbye!
Upon hearing Gu Qinghan's words, the Crown Prince slammed his fist on the table: "You've gone too far!! Seize this rebellious daughter!!"
