My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare! Chapter 615 - 381: Encountering an Old Friend Again

Zhao Country.

Capital.

Li Nuo waved to the won, including Zhao Zhiyi, and a ’giant bird’ soared into the sky, quickly disappearing among the clouds.

This was the first plane on the continent, having the advantages of both a helicopter and a passenger plane, capable of vertical takeoff and landing, with incredibly fast speed. It traveled thousands of miles at the cost of Li Yun’s entire True Qi, environntally friendly and pollution-free.

During the days in Zhao Country, the Empress arranged everything ticulously for them.

For Jiaren to break through to the Grandmaster soon, she convened a Martial Arts Tournant in the na of the court, inviting Grandmasters from major Martial Arts Sects in Zhao Country to the capital, ostensibly for competition and exchange, but in reality, for Jiaren to practice.

She also gave Anning a token, allowing her unrestricted access to investigate cases at Zhao Country’s Ministry of Justice.

The Empress’s thoughtful arrangents assured Li Nuo to go out for cultivation without concerns.

Although the Phoenix didn’t co along, to so extent, the Empress was just right to fill her place.

Yiren and she had a relationship where they could share a bed; Jiaren and Anning, though not as close to the Phoenix, Li Nuo believed they were like sisters, it was just a matter of ti.

After sending off Li Nuo, the four won went together to the backyard of the King Mansion.

A huge amusent park was built here, several palace maids were playing slides with the four children.

Yiren looked at Li Yan, Li Nian, Li Zhi, and Zhao Che, feeling speechless; surprisingly, among the four children, the one most like Li Nuo was Zhao Che, who had no blood relation.

However, they were still so young, their features not developed; perhaps they would not look alike when grown up...

...

A state in Daxia.

Inside the State Governnt, several officials were talking.

"According to information from the Secretariat, the court might cancel the tax exemption privilege for officials in the future, and we will have to pay taxes alongside ordinary citizens."

"Alas, being an official is becoming increasingly challenging; not only does one’s head uneasy rest on the neck, but the court is also constantly limiting our powers."

"Spending ten to twenty years studying, just to be such an official, seems sowhat unworthy."

"I heard that Li Nuo started inspecting places again, in Qing State from governnt office to County Magistrate’s Office, he took down sixty to seventy percent of the officials. Who knows if he will inspect our Huang State..."

"Huang State is so far from Qing State, it shouldn’t be too soon, right?"

"Maybe not, Qing State is also not close to Chang State; he appeared in Qing State the day after finishing inspections in Chang State, catching local officials unprepared, thus the severity of the situation..."

"We still should prepare in advance; don’t let him find anything. Those unruly folk need warnings or handling; don’t let them cause trouble at this ti..."

While several were discussing, a Governnt Official suddenly rushed in, shouting: "Gentlen, the Imperial Censor Li Nuo has arrived, demanding all gentlen to gather in the front office!"

Everyone turned pale upon hearing this.

"So fast!"

...

Three days later, Li Nuo left Huang State.

Since he found that inspecting state by state in order allowed so officials to prepare in advance, or find excuses to leave the area before he arrived, making them hard to catch, Li Nuo stopped following routines in inspections.

After finishing one state’s inspection, he went not to the adjacent state but chose another one a thousand miles away.

With the continuous improvent of Confucian cultivation, his mastery over the Righteous Qi Cloud grew increasingly proficient; crossing a thousand-mile distance only took him a few two-hours.

On the official road, a map of Daxia slowly hovered in the void.

Li Nuo, with a dart between his middle and index fingers, closed his eyes and casually tossed it, the spot where the dart landed would be his next place of inspection.

Li Nuo opened his eyes, stepped forward, took down the dart, and below.

Were two striking characters—Bing State.

Amongst the hundred-plus states of Daxia, on the map, the characters of so states were enlarged and bolded.

These states were often strategic or economic hubs, like Chang’an, or a few military-heavy states.

Bing State was both an economic center and a military hub; none of this was due to Bing State itself, but because of Jinyang County under Bing State’s rule.

Nominally, Jinyang County was under Bing State’s jurisdiction, but the Governor’s power in Bing State was far less than the Jinyang County Magistrate; not only Bing State, but several neighboring states to Bing State were deeply influenced by Jinyang County, simply because Jinyang County was the location of the Wang family.

Dongfang Xuan glanced at Li Nuo, asking, "Need to change one? This old man can at best contain one in the Sixth Realm, but Jinyang’s Wang family has two Martial Path Half-Saints..."

Li Nuo smiled slightly, saying, "It’s alright."

He could contain one, Li Nuo himself could contain another.

It’s rely consuming a large amount of his lifespan; forr Li Nuo couldn’t even afford one exchange for the Sixth Realm cultivation even if drained completely, but now, he was different from before; the accumulation over these months was enough for multiple exchanges.

Legalism and Confucian cultivation inherently ant managing those things ordinary people didn’t dare to handle, killing those whom others dared not.

The greater the difficulty, the bigger the reward.

An invisible cloud appeared under their feet; the two rose into the air, their figures quickly disappearing...

Bing State.

Among Daxia’s states, Bing State was one of the most stable; no matter how the court’s decrees changed, none affected Bing State.

The court restricted tax exemption lands for officials; Bing State’s officials were not included. The court made strict price restricciones on dicinal materials; instead, Bing State’s pharmacy prices were slightly higher; the court just implented a nationwide minimum monthly wage of two silver taels, but so well-backgrounded shops in Bing State still did not comply...
