Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 29: Reform (Part 2)
Unlike the Qingyun Realm, he would peel off every causal line that flew toward him, and instead connect it to Erhu, freeing himself from the shackles of fate from the beginning.
Er Hu replaced Tang Jie and became the son of destiny. At the same time, he was also assigned by Tang Jie and constantly adjusted his actions to affect those causal lines.
This is somewhat similar to a string puppet, but opposite.
The string puppet controls the action of the puppet through strings, while Tang Jie controls the strings through the "puppet" Erhu to achieve the purpose of affecting destiny.
He was detached from the web of fate, watching all this from the perspective of a bystander, and then carefully plucked the strings of fate with the help of Erhu's hands.
As a result, the world has undergone some unknown changes.
These changes were not big or noticeable at first, but like a snowball, they would become bigger and bigger as time went by, and eventually produce the results Tang Jie expected.
This is also a long-term project. Through diligent governance, Tang Jie's hands stretched longer and longer, and even once exceeded the restrictions of the monastic sect, extending his claws to Wenxin's state affairs and openly interfering in state affairs.
Although the Immortal Sect is superior, there are very few cases of openly interfering in politics like this.
There was an uproar in Wenxin's country, and many masters who were stubborn and not afraid of death accused Tang Jiechen of being too serious and unworthy of being called a god.
Tang Jie said disdainfully: "The order has been issued, and all you have to do is execute it. If you insist on not obeying, then I don't mind replacing some obedient people."
As soon as this statement came out, the opposition immediately subsided a lot.
In fact, most of Tang Jie's state affairs are measures that benefit the country and the people. However, once any good policy is launched, it will inevitably affect the interests of some people, and some people will even fight to death.
It can be said that reform from the top down has always been extremely difficult. In contrast, the spark-like peasant uprising is easier, because it will destroy everything in the past and rebuild nature. Simple.
Tang Jie doesn't intend to start over, but if these people don't obey, he doesn't mind just starting over.
In one hundred and ten years, ten political powers are enough to establish.
What he needs now is a good government that can obey and execute.
Ling Xiao and others were confused by his active interference in mortal affairs, saying that he would not be enterprising after being promoted to the Zifu. Tang Jie was more motivated than anyone now, and they had never seen him having fun. But if he has any grand plans, why should he compete with ordinary people every day?
I wanted to persuade him, but looking at the policies he promulgated, they were all good. Although Ling Xiao and Xiao Biehan actually did a very poor job in taking care of people's livelihood, after all, he is not the kind of person who doesn't allow others to do well if he can't do it well, so when he wants to dissuade him, he will say it again. Stopped.
It was Ling Xiao who comforted Tang Jie with sincerity and said a few words such as "Practitioners should focus on the path", as if he was persuading adults not to go to the kindergarten all the time.
However, Tang Jie was determined to be a kindergarten teacher and made up his mind not to look back. More and more orders were issued from Xiaoyao Hall, causing the Xiyue Sect disciples to complain one after another. It was really the spiritual wind that made the cultivators resentful. Make Xiaoyao a god.
Ling Xiao was happy to see that his affairs were in order, and he could practice with peace of mind, but every time he thought of Linglong's promise one hundred and fifty years later, he was worried about him. He secretly made up his mind to save Tang Jie even if it didn't work.
For Xiyue Sect, Tang Jie is already the hope of Xiyue Sect to prosper in the future and even unify Qixia.
It's just that he has the qualifications to be a sword master, but he insists on following the route of being a sword master, which is really speechless. You must know that for most cultivators, the sword master is actually more attractive than the master - he is in charge of the Tianxuan Destroying Divine Sword, he concentrates on cultivation and pays little attention to worldly affairs, he is worshiped by thousands of people, and his status is not inferior to that of the master, how wonderful it is. thing.
In the blink of an eye, ten years have passed.
In the past ten years, Tang Jie worked hard to govern the country, and managed the huge Wenxin Kingdom in an orderly manner, with good weather and smooth weather, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.
Although in the eyes of cultivators, this kind of wealth is like a castle on the beach. Without the protection of cultivators, others can easily crush it. But before it is trampled to pieces, it is undeniable that it is quite good to be able to do this.
After the people live a healthy life, even the efficiency of work has become higher. Coupled with the good weather every year, the output of some spiritual fields scattered in various places has also increased, and the income of the entire Xiyue Sect has increased accordingly. Tang Jie ordered that each person be given an extra bottle of good cultivation elixir according to their level at the end of the year, which caused the whole sect to cheer.
A scene of prosperity.
At this point, even the opposition to Tang Jie has become much smaller.
I have to admit that what Tang Jie did may be incomprehensible, but it really brought benefits to the Xiyue Sect, everyone, and the entire Wenxin Kingdom.
But that's not all.
The land is connected, and changes between countries will also affect neighboring countries.
Under Tang Jie's intentional instructions, all kinds of novelties from Wenxin are infiltrating into neighboring countries, and slowly but surely affecting them in the same way, causing Tang Jie's web of destiny to begin to move forward. The Qixia Realm spreads.
The gap in living standards, coupled with the deliberate guidance of the web of fate, caused mass exodus from the surrounding countries of Wenxin, and a large number of people fled to Wenxin from neighboring countries.
And Tang Jie ordered that no matter how many people came, they should try their best to accommodate them, arrange them well, and help them quickly become Wenxin citizens.
For a booming country, a large amount of manpower is one of the resources it needs most. In the past, countries solved the problem of manpower shortage through mass births, but now they directly use immigration.
Countries didn't pay much attention to it at first, but soon they discovered that the land under their control began to be abandoned in large quantities, and many overly harsh places even showed signs of empty houses.
A large amount of land is uninhabited. The poor have fled the country, leaving only the rich who have nothing to do. The entire national structure begins to have problems, causing all kinds of chaos.
However, these problems ultimately only make mortals at the national level panic, but for cultivators, there is no problem at all.
They have never cared about mortals, just like people don't care about the sand under their feet.
But if one day, all the sand is gone, where will mankind stand?
No one knows this, and no one understands what a big deal Tang Jie is doing.
Everyone can see that the people are losing their lives and the country is getting poorer and weaker, but those who see it have nothing to do, and those who have the means don't care.
Cultivation is important!
As a result, under Tang Jie's deliberate promotion, the gap between Wenxin and other countries continued to widen.
This process lasted for twenty years.
In the past twenty years, the population of Wenxin Kingdom has tripled, while the populations of other countries have decreased to varying degrees.
The talents emerging from Xiyue Academy are also endless. In the past, there might only be one ninth-level talent in one class, but now there are several in each class.
The number of students admitted to Xiyue College began to expand, and the number of students admitted each year tripled.
There are more and more outstanding disciples entering the sect, and the resources are becoming more and more abundant.
In comparison, the talents of other factions are withering.
While losing a large number of mortals, the major factions are also losing fresh blood.
If a sect does not have enough fresh blood to maintain it, it will be unable to make ends meet. The number of cultivators will decrease, and the overall strength will also decrease.
At all levels, whether it is external travel or the handling of sect affairs, they are far behind the Xiyue Sect.
For example, when disciples of the two sects were exploring a public area and accidentally discovered a fortune, the disciples of the other sect might have summoned a few three or five companions in a hurry, but the people of the Xiyue sect shouted loudly, and the people nearby were nearby. Dozens and dozens of them popped up.
This caused the Xiyue Sect to gradually gain the upper hand in the disputes among the lower-level cultivators.
The advantages of lower-level cultivators will be the advantages of middle-level cultivators in the future. As time goes by, they will become the advantages of high-level or even top-level cultivators.
This is a long-term process, and it might have taken hundreds of years to manifest itself, but with Tang Jie's deliberate promotion, the first signs of it emerged in just twenty years.
As the web of destiny expands, the impact is intensifying and changes are accelerating.
People will soon discover that what was initially inadvertent has turned into a scourge in the blink of an eye, affecting every high-ranking person.
Until that moment finally arrived.

Qijuemen, Misty Peak.
A middle-aged scribe in blue shirt looked at the celestial phenomena and twirled his fingers as if he was calculating something.
After a while, he whispered to himself: "The stars are changing, and the fate of the sea is spinning. Could it be said that the general trend of Qixia, which has been balanced for more than two thousand years, will change again? It's just that this time, luck will be independent again. Who is Zhong?"
My eyes were full of doubts.
It is a pity that although he is an earthly immortal, he only has a rough understanding of the way of destiny. He cannot see through the mystery of destiny and cannot untie the tangled threads. Therefore, he can only feel the ripples in the web of destiny that has been balanced for more than two thousand years. A whirlpool was born, but it was impossible to see the connection with everything happening in the world today, let alone where the place where the whirlpool gathered was.
But vaguely, the blue-shirted scribe still looked back in the direction of Wenxin and said to himself: "Could it be there?"
In the invisible dimension, the web of fate envelopes the entire world.
Qixia World~IndoMTL.com~ is like a small square on the Internet, firmly covering the Qixia world.
In the past two thousand years, this network has been peaceful without any major changes.
But now, if you look at this place from a detached perspective, you will find that this web of fate has gradually formed a vortex.
It's like a funnel cloud, gathering a lot of luck at one point, and the direction the funnel points to is the person fate loves.
If you look through the funnel of fate, you will find that this funnel is located on Mount Izumo.
But it is not on Tang Jie’s head, nor on Erhu’s head, but on the small hillside behind Zhaixing Peak, in the low thatched house, the man with white beard and hair who cannot meditate. On the old man.
The eyebrows moved slightly, the old man opened his eyes and looked into the sky, and let out a sigh: "Gathering the beauty of heaven and earth, bringing together the love of the world, blessing me with luck, blessing me... What a good boy, but he is getting more and more powerful. There are actually signs of condensing Taoism."
Unlike the blue-shirted scribe, he knew the details of Tang Jie.
