As they were talking, they came to the place where they first met.
"The Liu family's affairs will be handled by you." Xu Jiujun let Xu Ning'er walk in front. He didn't intend to take action. After all, with Xu Ning'er's strength, taking action would be considered bullying.
"By the way, this sword is for you." Xu Jiujun took out the Merciless Sword given by the system and handed it to Xu Ning'er: "This sword is called Merciless."
Xu Ning'er looked at Xu Jiujun gratefully, then took the Merciless Sword.
The moment of contact, Xu Ning'er inexplicably had a sense of déjà vu. After calming herself down, her gaze gradually became firm. She held the scabbard in her left hand and drew out the magic sword with her right hand.
As the sound of a sword chant resounded through the sky, the Liu family's ancestor hurriedly appeared and asked, "Which master has visited my humble abode?"
"Master Liu, do you still recognize me?" Xu Ning'er asked coldly.
"You are..." The Liu family's ancestor was confused. Although Xu Ning'er was beautiful, she had always been dressed in a dirty manner, so not many of the Liu family members could recognize her.
"Hmph, go ask your darling grandson in the underworld!" In the blink of an eye, Xu Ning'er passed through the ancestor of the Liu family, and with him passed the ruthless sword in his hand.
The two walked into the inner hall of the Liu family, and a group of Liu family members and Liu family servants immediately rushed out from all directions and surrounded Xu Jiujun and Xu Ning'er.
"You are... Ning'er?" The young master of the Liu family stared blankly at Xu Ning'er. How could she be so beautiful...
"Young Master Liu, let's settle all the old and new accounts." Xu Ning'er took out the Ruthless Sword. At this moment, her face was as cold as frost, living up to the name of this sword.
"Hmph, so what if she has a sword? She's still useless!" The young master waved his hand and shouted, "Kill her!"
"Just you guys?" Xu Ning'er snorted coldly and swept out with a sword, killing and injuring everyone instantly. These servants were at most in the Qi Refining Stage, and the slightly more advanced managers were at the Foundation Establishment Stage, and they could not withstand Xu Ning'er's angry sword at all.
"You! You can't kill me! My grandfather is a great master in the Void Refinement Stage! If you kill me, my grandfather will not let you go!" When Master Liu saw Xu Ning'er walking towards him, he was so scared that he collapsed to the ground.
"Your grandfather? I'll take you to see him." Xu Ning'er swung the sword with half his strength, splitting the man and the house into two halves.
Ninety percent of the Liu family members were sent to hell by Xu Ning'er before they could even react.
"Old butler, I won't kill you." Xu Ning'er said lightly as she looked at the old butler who was shivering in the corner.
"You saved me back then, it was a favor."
"I'm not killing you now because I'm repaying you."
"Now that the Liu family has collapsed, you are very familiar with the Liu family's assets. If you take over, it will be enough for you to live on for the rest of your life."
"Young Master, let's go." Xu Ning'er didn't have much affection for the Liu family. She only had some gratitude towards the old housekeeper, but his temperament was unstable. Once he was not satisfied, he would curse or even fight. Xu Ning'er had been beaten many times in the past few years.
In the end, Xu Ning'er did not kill him because she remembered that he had saved her life.
"Tell the other two families not to take over my Xu Mansion." Xu Jiujun left a message and left with Xu Ning'er.
The old butler nodded hurriedly behind them and watched the two of them leave.
On the other side, Emperor Tian Wanwu of the Frozen Dynasty was visiting his old friend Li Dongzheng.
"Hahaha, Old Li, your Taxue Dynasty is truly a country of peace and prosperity. Do you have any governance methods that I can learn from you, old brother?" Tian Wanwu asked with a satisfied look on his face as he sat on Li Dongzheng's dragon throne.
"Old dog Tian! Get down here!" Li Dongzheng finished his curse and didn't forget to answer his question: "Collect less tax, listen more to the people's voices, appoint two trusted aides to the top of each department, increase their benefits to the highest level, and have them supervise each department."
"In this way, the confidants can supervise each other. While they are treated well, they also have the corresponding leverage in their hands. This is called combining kindness and power."
“This is how to govern a country.”
"There is a public opinion box under the people's command. This box is escorted by the most trustworthy person. I usually let the sword immortal escort it, and it must be guaranteed to be intact."
“This is for the people.”
Tian Wanwu nodded continuously after listening to this, and then asked, "How many percentage points do you charge in taxes?"
"It depends on the industry. Casual workers are not taxed, merchants are taxed half, and grain taxes are taxed half of half."
"If that's the case, then the national treasury will be empty?" Tian Wanwu asked in confusion.
"Hahahahahaha, you don't understand this, right? Although the tax is not high, I have set a value. If a household's tax revenue reaches a certain level, they can be rewarded with gold and silver." Li Dongzheng laughed proudly, "This way, farmers are happy to grow crops. They grow more, the tax is low, and they still get money."
"This way, the national treasury will be well-stocked, and military rations will naturally be guaranteed. This way, the welfare of the army can also be improved."
"Local officials would take extra care of the soldiers' families, giving them gifts on holidays regardless of whether they were dead or alive. If they died, they would receive large pensions, and additional monthly pensions."
"Until they grow old and the children in their family grow up."
"You said that with such a recycling system, the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and soldiers can serve without having to worry about their families or the supply issues during the campaign."
"The soldiers can concentrate on conquering cities and territories. Every acre of land means more food."
"If this continues, the country will become more prosperous. How can the treasury be empty?"
"Hiss...that makes sense." Tian Wanwu recalled his tax policy, which was indeed a bit high and some areas complained about it.
"I say, you old dog Tian, what exactly are you doing here?" Li Dongzheng didn't believe that the old man came here specifically to ask this question.
