Li Xuandu planned to divide the thirty-six real people into four sects, each secting nine.

Among them, nine people from Taiping Road: Zhang Haishi, Li Feiyan, Yun Chengzong, Shen Yuanzhou, Lan Xuanshuang, Liu Yushuang, Lady Leng, Lu Shizhen, and Situ Xuanluo.

There were nine people in the same way: Yan Feiqing, Su Yunxian, Zhang Daishan, Zuo Yuhan, Qi Yinbing, Tang Wan, Lou Xinqing, Gu Yusheng, Bai Meiniang.

The nine people of Quanzhen Dao: Yao Xianglian, Chen Mian, Nalan Xu, Yuying Zhenren, Wanshou Zhenren, Taiwei Zhenren, Sanxuan Zhenren, Yu Qingning, Xiao Shiyu.

The remaining nine people: Ning Yi, Lu Yanbing, Lu Shiying, Li Shixing, Zhong Wu, Wang Zhongfu, Murong Hua, Ji Shuye, Shi Wuyue, and directly belong to the chief sect.

The so-called "I am in you and I am in you." For example, several Ming officials were subordinates of Shangguan Wan, but they were divided into his own name by Li Xuandu. Wu Xian and the two fake immortals should have been classified into Li Xuandu's name, but Li Xuandu was divided into Quanzhen Taoism.

The reason is like dividing the boundaries of states. The people of Hanzhong Prefecture are very similar in customs and languages ​​to the people of Shuzhou, but they have to separate Hanzhong Prefecture from Shuzhou and divide it into Qinzhou. Because Hanzhong Prefecture is the gateway to Shuzhou, if Hanzhong Prefecture belongs to Shuzhou, then Shuzhou will become a trend of easy defense and difficult attack surrounded by mountains, and it is very easy to separatist and independent. Therefore, Hanzhong Prefecture must be included in Qinzhou to check and balance Shuzhou.

Quanzhen Dao is the same principle. If all the Ming officials are placed in Quanzhen Dao, Shangguan Wan and Yao Xianglian and Yuying Zhenren are in good terms, it is easy to make Quanzhen Dao a one-man hall for Shangguan Wan. Therefore, Li Xuan transferred out the three Ming officials and included Chen Mian and Nalan Xu, who had no connection with Shangguan Wan, into it, which not only strengthened the strength of Quanzhen Dao, but also formed differentiation to prevent Quanzhen Dao from becoming an independent kingdom.

As for the other two, the same is true.

In this way, the future Taoist pattern will be almost certain, and there will be some modifications to the details.

In fact, Li Xuan still has some ideas, but after several deep conversations with Qin Qing, he gave up the overly radical ideas.

As a immortal person, Qin Qing was not too attached to the throne like ordinary people. For him, it would be best if there was, and it was not a big deal that the sky was falling and the earth was falling. The two even discussed whether they could depose the emperor's throne.

The final answer of the two was no, or it was not possible for the time being. If you want to complete the actual change, you must first make an idea change, just like from a nobleman who can be an emperor to a commoner who can be an emperor, that is, an idea change. When everyone in the world thinks that the emperor should not continue to exist, what people want, then they can depose the emperor.

But the reality is that the Confucian ethics are still deeply rooted in people's hearts and there is no soil for deposing the emperor. If the emperor is forcibly deposed, it will only cause chaos in people's hearts and instead cause many unpredictable troubles.

If there is really a world of Datong, then Datong cannot be built in one day. There is no reason to build a ninth floor, and the eight floors in front cannot be missing. One generation has its own responsibility. The development of the world must always have a gradual process. The key to the quality of a rule lies in whether it can adapt to the current world. Too advanced is equivalent to boosting growth.

Because of this, the Supreme Taoist ancestor said: "I dare not be the first in the world, so I can become a talented person."

What Li Xuandu and Qin Qing can do now is to guide the world to further develop and be down-to-earth, rather than reaching the sky in one step.

Clearing the land and pursuing taxes is only the first step. If we stop there, the upstarts in Daxuan will still merge the land and not pay taxes, and eventually embark on the old path of Dawei.

So the second step for the two was to spread the dime into the acres, which is to deepen the "one-whip method" of Zhang Suqing.

The one-whip method mainly summarizes the taxes and services of a county, and is all combined into one. That is, first merge the taxes and services separately, and then merge the labor service of a state and a state, and merge them to collect them, so that the labor service mainly falls on the land owners, and has initially become the nature of scattered people into the land. This seriously damages the interests of the gentry and landlords. As a result, when Zhang Suqing encountered the change of the imperial capital, he was the largest landlord in the world, and the Confucian clan was indifferent and sat down to watch Zhang Suqing die.

After Zhang Suqing's death, the "One Whip Law" was in name only, but instead became a tool for the gentry to make money, accelerating the corruption of the Wei Dynasty and eventually destruction together.

As for "spending a stake into a mu", compared with the "one-whip method", the stake into a mu will cause greater harm to the landlords and gentry. Even if Qin Qing promoted it as the emperor, he would encounter unimaginable pressure and criticism. I am afraid that Qin Qing's reputation will not be very good in a thousand years, and the title of a "tyrant" cannot be escaped.

Qin Qing was already prepared for this. He once told Li Xuandu that in this regard, he was willing to follow Wei Taizu and kill the world.

Li Xuan is quite optimistic, and there are three main reasons.

First, the interests of the Taoist sect are mostly in the word "industry and trade". They will stand firmly on Li Xuandu and Qin Qing's side. The two of them can take Taoist sect as the cornerstone and get the support of many emerging gentry who started with trade, and will not fall into a situation where everyone is enemies.

The second is that the Confucian school was defeated, and the power of the gentry was in a low point. As the saying goes, "Take your life while you are sick", it is suitable for taking advantage of the victory.

The third is that the old dynasty was destroyed, the new dynasty was first established, the old rules were broken, the new rules were not yet completely decided, the old nobles had already gone to destruction, but the new nobles were like undried lime rice slurry, which failed to form a solid city wall, but dough, and allowed to be flat and round, which was the best time to implement the new policy.

After several discussions, the two decided to take Qizhou as the pilot project, with the Governor of Qizhou Qin Daofang being fully responsible. If the results are feasible, they will be promoted to other states with the point and fully implemented.

This is a huge project, ranging from more than ten years to more than decades to complete it. As the leading people, the two of them should not be eager to achieve success, but should do it slowly.

On the other hand, there were frequent reports of good news. Qin Xiang led his army south, and his troops were invincible.

In just half a month, Qin Xiang had already captured half of Luzhou with the assistance of Taipingzong. After all, Luzhou was back to the sea and had a prosperous trade. The emerging gentry was very strong, and Taipingzong was the example. Therefore, wherever the army went, various prefectures and counties surrendered, and they were almost in a position to go without fighting.

As the saying goes, defending the river must guard the Jianghuai area. From the terrain, a flat horse in the north is conducive to the cavalry galloping, high in the north and low in the south. If the north falls and the northern army forms a high and conquering force, then the south and the south will only have the ability to resist and have no power to fight back.

If the Northern Army has a firm foothold in Jiangbei and the Yangtze River stands across the river, then the Thousand Mile River Defense may become a breakthrough everywhere. If defenses are set up everywhere and the troops are dispersed, then the entire defense line is in vain and any place is broken through. If the Northern Army establishes a stronghold on the south bank, the natural danger of the river becomes a common place between the north and the south, and the defense line of the river fails.

The foundation of Jinling is the four prefectures along the river. Once the Northern Army crosses the river, it will immediately threaten the fundamental key of Jinling. Even if the Northern Army fails to conquer Jinling immediately, as long as it occupys the four prefectures around Jinling, Jinling can basically only sit in the sad city. If you want to defend the river, Luzhou must be turned into a deep state. In this way, you can attack and retreat and defend. You can advance as Luzhou as the foundation. Go north to the north and retreat to Luzhou as the barrier of Jinling to defend the river.

Now that Qin Xiang has captured half of Luzhou, it means that a gap has been torn into the defense line of the Southern Wei Dynasty. When Qin Xiang conquers the entire territory of Luzhou, the so-called natural danger of the Yangtze River will be in vain.

At the same time, there were also a group of side troops, led by Han Huo, who invaded Zhongzhou.

The situation in Zhongzhou has always been complicated. Not only are there many sects of the Taoist sect, but also the Wanxiang Academy and the Taishi Academy. However, now that the Confucian sect has been defeated, he has to sign a alliance under the city, and the situation is quite clear.

Regarding the remnants of the Confucian sect, Li Xuan decided to appease the main force, so he sent Shangguan Guan and Ning Yi to represent him to the Vientiane Academy, and met with the high priest Jiu Sikong Dao Xuan and talked in detail, and cleared the way for the army to recover Zhongzhou.

From beginning to end, there was no movement in the northwest. The small court of the Southern Wei Dynasty wanted to form an alliance with him several times, but they were all over the sea. Li Xuan understood that this was Dan Taiyun who gave up the competition for the Central Plains early and retreated to the next best. He advanced all the way westward. If he could occupy the Western Regions, although he was not as good as the emperor of the Central Plains, he was also considered a hegemony.

At this moment, the missing Yachi finally arrived at the Imperial Capital.

During this period, Yechi returned to the Golden Treasure Royal Court under the order of Li Xuandu, met Yili Khan, Xiao Yan and others, as the envoys of Li Xuandu, and conveyed Li Xuandu's intentions.

Now the Central Plains is in chaos, starving and killing people everywhere, and thousands of miles of naked land, and many people are killed and injured. Li Xuandu and Qin Qing both believed that the main energy of the court should be focused on restoring people's livelihood and resting, rather than going to war with the outside world in a strong manner, so we must ease the relationship with the gold tent.

The internal strife of the Golden Treasure is now endless, and Yili Khan and others are unable to go south to attack the Central Plains. In addition, the Northern Expedition not long ago, the Central Plains army defeated the Iron Cavalry of the Golden Treasure with sharp firearms, which forced Yili Khan to re-examine the relationship between the Golden Treasure and the Central Plains court.

Finally, shortly after Qin Qing ascended the throne, Yili Khan made up his mind to resist the opposition and recognized the orthodox position of the Daxuan court to replace the Dawei court. The two sides stopped fighting, turned war into jade and silk, and implemented a tribute and trade.

After the news came, Qin Qing sent an envoy to send a letter to Yili Khan, which said: "I hope from now on, the court will have no worries about the war, the army will not be warned by the southern herds, the border gangsters will not be killed, and the troops will not be dispatched. The people of the two tribes will be drunk and full and sang, and they will never return."

Yechi was able to leave the Golden Treasure Royal Court, return to the Central Plains, and report to Li Xuandu.

Li Xuandu lives in Yuying Temple most of the time now, and under the leadership of the inn, he met Li Xuandu here.

Li Xuandu praised Ye Chi and asked about his intentions. In the future, he planned to join the Taoist sect or join the Daxuan court to serve as an official. Ye Chi was originally the commander of the Qiexue Army. After a little thought, he decided to join the Daxuan court to serve as an official.

Li Xuandu recommended Ye Chi to Qin Qing. Qin Qing was grateful to Ye Chi's contribution and appointed him as the commander of the Three Thousand Battalions.
