C215 Complete His Last Wish
Everyone looked at Zhou Xiyao and found that this little girl was really ruthless. But thinking about it, what she said was right. If the root of a family was broken, it would be even more painful than killing them.
Zhao Yiming chuckled and said, "Regarding the destruction of Zhao Family, let's think about it carefully. I think what we need to do now is to fulfill our mother's last wish. Otherwise, this will inevitably become the devil in our hearts. It will hinder our advancement.
If our cultivation base is really high, then we'll be able to reach the Sovereign Stage now. There's no need for us to discuss this here. We'll just go straight to our doorstep, and no one will dare to fart."
Jian Chenzi nodded and said," Third Brother is right. We should do what we are doing right now. "
Very soon, it was the auspicious day of the Huang Family. Everyone went to Jian Chenzi's mother's grave first. He was also wearing mourning clothes. He held a broom and lightly brushed the dust off the grave.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Bihan and Xue Ying also tied a mourning belt. This local custom was that only family members could do it. In other words, the two of them played the role of daughter-in-law.
It seemed that both of them had feelings for Jian Chenzi. This was a clear indication of their feelings for Jian Chenzi. This caused the various Chief who came to watch the ceremony to feel shocked in his heart.
After Jian Chenzi finished sweeping the tomb for his mother, he took over the position of Chief in front of his mother's tomb. He officially became the Chief of Zhao Family and appointed Zhao Yiming as Grand Elder.
He felt relieved. He had broken through the bottleneck. An extremely sharp Sword Qi soared up from his body like a holy sword, making everyone want to submit to him.
Zhao Yiming looked at Second Brother with a smile. He had never thought that Second Brother would be such a rare genius in the Sword Path. He had actually broken through the bottleneck and stepped into the Master First level. Although he had just stepped into the ___, Zhao Yiming felt that Second Brother's combat strength was definitely above the old Wu Guangtian's.
Jian Chenzi took a deep breath and said, "The current Saint has decreed that the Banyan City will be conferred to me, Third Brother. I, Third Brother, am a noble and upright person. I will officially transfer the land of the Banyan City to the Zhao Family.
I hereby announce that the Zhao Family respects the interests of the various families, but at the same time, we also love the interests of the people. Everyone knows that water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat. This theory was first proposed by me, Third Brother.
Therefore, in the Banyan City, whether it is the children of the noble families or the common people, their status is equal. I will absolutely not allow bullying to happen. However, the land of the ordinary people is used to rent the land of the noble families.
The noble families will hand over 20% of their annual income to the Zhao Family as their own tax. The ordinary people will no longer be able to collect it. All the privileges of the noble families will be abolished, and it will be changed to the examination system."
All the aristocratic families were in an uproar. However, Jian Chenzi's Master Stage cultivation base was still there, and none of the people below had even reached the Transformational Stage. Who would dare to fight back?
As expected of a scholar, Luo Jianxiang's reaction speed was extremely fast. He felt that these words were probably planned by Zhao Yiming, and although Zhao Yiming wasn't by King Huainan's side, but his every action reflected King Huainan's intention.
Could it be that this was King Huainan's future administrative program? If he deliberately tested it on Zhao Yiming's fiefdom, then he should follow the flow and show his value.
He immediately coughed and said, "This is the fiefdom of Zhao Family. I was only sent by His Majesty to assist in the management of Zhao Family. Since Chief has set the rules, this official will definitely do so in the future."
Li Yunsong also smiled and said, "Master Luo is right. Our Li Family is willing to obey, but we don't know what Chief Zhao meant by the exam."
Zhao Yiming coughed and said, "This is a new policy that I and Second Brother, King Huainan, have come up with. I feel that it is unfair for all the officials to come from big families.
So we have decided to adopt the Imperial Examination system, be it aristocratic families or poor people. We can first take the preliminary examinations in our cities. The winner of the preliminary examinations can head to the prefecture for the middle school examination. The winner of the preliminary examination can head straight to the Duke Huainan Palace. The final exam.
Pass. Those who passed the exam did not have to pay taxes for the rest of their lives. Those who passed the exam could be given official positions. If they did not have official positions, they could also enjoy certain privileges. The winner of the exam would be entrusted with a heavy responsibility.
This exam will be divided into the theory exam and the martial arts exam. As for which exam you want to take, it will be up to you. "
Everyone's eyes lit up. However, they knew that this had shaken the foundations of the major families. It was said that King Huainan was fighting against the major families. It seemed like he was going to fight to the end.
Li Yunsong's mind was quite sharp. He sized up the two people on the stage. Both of them had a deep background. One of them could represent the White Cloud Valley. The other could represent the Profound Sky Sword Sect. These two people could be tested in their own fiefdom. It wasn't as if King Huainan had no chance of winning.
Jian Chenzi continued, "Next, I want to announce another thing. As the Chief of the Zhao Family, I will welcome my Third Mother's memorial tablet and enter the ancestral hall of the Zhao Family.
I, Third Brother, have worked hard and made great contributions. Since ancient times, a mother is valued by her son. My Third Mother will be officially written into the family tree and become my father's only wife with my mother.
As for my original aunt, Zhang Yuan, she was just a woman who did not follow the wife's path and was an immoral woman. She will be officially famous in the family tree of my Zhao Family and I will write a divorce letter on behalf of my father. Because the Zhang Family has been convicted, I will personally deliver this divorce letter to the Zhang Family in South Hua. "
Another wave of exclamations erupted from the crowd. They had never thought that these two brothers would play so well. This was truly not giving them any leeway. However, some of the people who knew the inside story were also secretly shocked. They never thought that the annihilation of Zhao Family would involve the Zhang Family of South Hua.
The tomb sweeping had been completed. Next, it was time to open the ancestral hall to welcome the memorial tablet of Zhao Yiming's mother. Then, they would officially enter the ancestral hall and modify the family tree.
Zhao Yiming was also wearing mourning clothes at this time. Unexpectedly, Zhou Xiyao had gotten a mourning belt from somewhere and tied it on his body.0
Just as he placed the memorial tablet on the table, he heard two tender cries from outside. "Beloved, wait a moment. The two of us will also come and offer incense to mother."
Zhao Yiming raised his eyes and looked outside. Two young girls walked in gracefully. The two girls were also wearing mourning clothes and their eyes were blurred.
These two girls were none other than Zou Xiaoyun and Xiang Sibing. He did not know how the two of them got together and even came together.
The corners of Zhou Xiyao's eyes twitched slightly. Clearly, she was a little angry. Although these two women's looks were slightly different from hers, they could still be considered extremely beautiful.
The two women also secretly sized Zhou Xiyao up and quickly classified her as the number one rival. This was purely a woman's intuition.
