Douluo: Summon the God and Demon Li Xin, Thousand Flows Tremble

Chapter 37: Founding Jixia Academy! Where is my money?

Chapter 37: Founding Jixia Academy! Where is my money?
Xue Luochuan glanced at the Chang'an soldiers standing on the city wall with spears in hand.

There are beacon towers on the Great Wall. By lighting the beacon, troops from all directions can be quickly gathered.

However, most of these soldiers are mortal soldiers.

The military funds were used to build the Great Wall, leaving no extra money for conscription.

But there is no need to conscript mortal soldiers.

This is the Douluo World, and soul masters are the dominant ones here.

He needs to form an army of soul masters.

Just like the Spirit Hall.

Obviously, the number of troops of Spirit Hall is far less than that of the two empires, but they can challenge the two empires at the same time.

It’s because the Spirit Hall’s army is composed entirely of spirit masters!

Their strength is much stronger than the mortal armies of the two empires!
However, it is not easy to form a soul master team.

The Chang'an Empire does not have many soul masters.

That is the Soul Master Academy.

"I have decided to establish the Jixia Academy to recruit soul masters from all over the continent. Regardless of age or origin, anyone who is willing to serve Chang'an can enroll!"

Xue Luochuan waved his hand, and his brows were full of flying colors!
The Spirit Hall is now in disgrace, and his Chang'an Empire has shown great potential again!

He believed that he would be able to attract a group of soul masters soon!
"Your Majesty, we are out of money!" Hua Mulan blinked her big eyes and said seriously.

"No money again?" Xue Luochuan's lips twitched slightly, "Where's my money?"

It seems that building the Great Wall is really a huge and expensive project!

However, the wall under his feet was indeed built solidly. Even a full-strength attack from a Three-Ring Soul Master could not shake a single brick of the Great Wall!
"Looks like I have to get money again!" Xue Luochuan frowned slightly and began to ponder.

He squeezed all the corrupt officials in Chang'an dry.

Those rich people are either fleeing or being caught, leaving no one to exploit!

However, because of the construction of the Great Wall, a large amount of money flowed into the public.

With all industries flourishing, Chang'an is now thriving!
The people are rich, but the country is weak.

"Should we increase taxes?" Kai asked cautiously, staring at Xue Luochuan's expression anxiously.

"No, only a trickle of water can last a long time."

Xue Luochuan's deep eyes turned slightly.

He thought of some state documents he usually looked at:
"How was your anti-corruption campaign?"

Li Xin answered very fluently:

"During the last crackdown on corrupt officials, many of the local real estate of the corrupt officials' families was seized and confiscated."

"But there is still a lot of money being transferred out."

"Many officials have been detained, but not a penny of their money has been taken away!"

"After all, they have been entrenched here for many years and have extensive connections. It is possible for them to take some small paths to avoid the guards or bribe them."

"This place used to be under the jurisdiction of the Tiandou Empire, and most of their property was transferred to the Tiandou Empire."

Xue Luochuan looked towards the Tiandou Empire outside the Great Wall, and the fighting spirit slowly rose in his eyes:
"Chang'an's defenses have been improved. It's time to go on the expedition."

"Is the war finally going to start again?" Baili Xuance licked his fangs excitedly, and his pair of furry ears stood up.

Hua Mulan took out a folded map from the bag at her waist, placed it on the battlement of the city wall, and pointed at the city outlined on the map:
"I have also basically found out the defense arrangements of the nearby Tiandou City."

"The situation between Tiandou and Wuhun Hall has been tense recently, and both sides have deployed large-scale defenses on the border."

"Because we have not taken any action for a long time, the Tiandou Empire has withdrawn some troops from nearby cities to confront the Spirit Hall."

"Each of the three cities to the north has only 20,000 defenders. Although they are close and can be quickly reinforced, they are the easiest targets to attack."

Xue Luochuan nodded slightly:
"Okay, then I decide to send out 30,000 troops, divided into three groups. Hua Mulan, Baili Xuance, and Kai, each of you will lead 10,000 troops to attack the city."

He nodded to Shuiyue'er behind him, and Shuiyue'er took out three military talismans from the box in her hand and handed them to the three people.

The three men took the military token respectfully.

Qian Renxue, wearing a golden dress, stood quietly behind Xue Luochuan and watched him select his generals. Since being exposed last time, she had witnessed the retreat of the allied forces.

She then had less thoughts about leaving Chang'an.

After so many days of training, she began to develop a strange feeling for Xue Luochuan.

It is a kind of dependence of the victim on the abuser, which in turn creates a kind of affection.

Xue Luochuan was very satisfied with her service and allowed her to go out with him.

Just like Shui Bing'er and others.

"Ten thousand people attacking twenty thousand people," Qian Renxue murmured in surprise.

She didn't know much about this, but she knew that the attacking party was the weaker side.

When others attack a city, they use the majority to attack the minority, but Xue Luochuan uses the minority to attack the majority. How can he win?
The three armies set out from three sparsely populated passes of the Great Wall.

Soon it disappeared into the mountains.

Xue Luochuan ordered people to set up rocking chairs and rose-colored tables above the city wall where the army was leaving the city, so that they could sit down comfortably and enjoy wine and snacks.

Shui Bing'er and a few others, along with Qian Renxue, lined up behind him, meditating and practicing quietly.

Li Xin and his companions did not need to practice. They sat together with Xue Luochuan and enjoyed snacks.

The Tiandou Empire also took great pains to resist the attack on Chang'an.

But it was all in vain.

Within half a day, three fast horses rushed into the Great Wall.

"Your Majesty, victory news!"

Three snow-white papers were spread out on the table.

All three cities were successfully captured!
But the losses were also extremely heavy.

There were 30,000 soldiers and horses in three routes, with a total of more than 10,000 casualties!
This is a very good battle report for the siege!
After all, the total number of defenders is 60,000.

This time, we were able to complete the attack in such a short time.

There is a slight price to pay.

But there are also a lot of spoils.

In total, more than 20,000 people were captured in the three cities!
The more you fight, the more troops you will have!
The situation in the Chang'an Empire was very good.

But the same cannot be said for the Tiandou Empire.

The stronger the Chang'an Empire is, the weaker the Tiandou Empire will be!
Tiandou Imperial Capital.

Emperor Xue Ye looked at the urgent battle report from the border and sighed heavily:
"Three cities! Sixty thousand soldiers!"

"I couldn't even hold out for a day!"

This is just the Chang'an Empire, which has only been reorganized for two months and is not very powerful.

Once the Chang'an Empire develops.

He couldn't even imagine how fast Chang'an would annex Tiandou's territory!
But the emotions of the Tiandou people were attracted by the Spirit Hall.

They were both afraid and terrified of the Chang'an Empire, which had a legitimate reason to fight and was as ferocious as a wolf.

The plan to attack Chang'an had to be shelved.

The Tiandou Empire is now surrounded by enemies on all sides.

It's like a piece of cake, everyone wants to take a bite.

One of the two great empires is now approaching a precarious time.
