Peerless Taoist

Lu Yu's eyes flashed with a cold light.    

Back in the Great Yu Dynasty, Lu Yu had already noticed this.    

The Xu family had wealth comparable to that of a country, so they began to influence the direction of the government. Even the future crown prince had to do his best to curry favor with the Xu family to ensure his succession to the throne.    

In the Great Yu Dynasty, nearly half of the property was monopolized by the great houses, and if the rest of them wanted to survive, they had to rely on the means of these great houses.    

Less than ten percent of the aristocratic families controlled eighty percent of the wealth in the Heaven Realm.    

"Back then, the Tai Gan Emperor had dealt with these sects. Unfortunately, he died young and did not completely reform them." Lu Yu suddenly remembered his previous life.    

However, in Lu Yu's opinion, the methods of the Tai Gan Emperor were just a last resort. He did not even touch the true foundation of the Wealthy Class.    

This resulted in the rise of the Wealthy Class after the death of the Tai Gan Emperor and the usurpation of power by Shen Linglong.    

"The old Wealthy Class has been lost, and the new Wealthy Class has appeared. The Xu family is gone, and now there's the Song family... But it's inevitable. Although I can't prevent the new Wealthy Classes from appearing, I can limit their power and keep them from being lawless."    

Lu Yu gradually retracted his gaze from the vast galaxy and the scene of Xianyang appeared in front of him.    

At this moment, every brick, every tile, every blade of grass, and every tree in Xianyang's pavilions were reflected in Lu Yu's eyes.    

In the city, the figures of a few wealthy families had already appeared. These aristocratic families usually did not show off their wealth, but they hid a vigorous amount of Fate. It was as if with just a thought, they could make the heavens tremble and the entire Great Qin tremble.    

Lu Yu knew that these were the cancer of Great Qin.    

In ancient times, many emperors would keep a close eye on the aristocratic families in order to prevent their throne from being lost. Whenever a noble clan became too powerful, the king would support a new clan to suppress it.    

However, in the end, it would become a situation of raising venomous insects, and if the successors were unable to suppress these aristocratic families, they would suffer a backlash that would eventually cause the empire to collapse and disappear into the river of history.    

"Looks like I need to think of a way to suppress the development of these aristocratic families. If we let them continue like this, Xianyang City will be like the Imperial Capital of Great Yu, where the rich kids bullied men and women on the streets."    

Lu Yu made up his mind and took back the soul.    

"Go out and call the Grand Secretary over," Lu Yu said.    

"Yes, Your Majesty."    

The chief eunuch left in a hurry. Not long after, he called Li Si over.    

"Your servant greets Your Majesty." Li Si bowed.    

Lu Yu waved his hand and asked, "What do you think of Song Qingfeng?"    

Li Si was slightly surprised, but he still spoke with confidence, "Song Qingfeng is indeed capable. Your majesty is indeed good at reading people. This Song Qingfeng is very good at reading people. He is in charge of the Department of Personnel's evaluation of merit, and he is also in charge of the Merit Points Board. He is also very well organized. He is a capable man."    

What he said was the truth.    

The Prime Counsel took care of the affairs for the king, so he was familiar with many officials in the court.    

Some of them did well, while some of them didn't. Li Si was able to see everything clearly.    

"I am not talking about that."    

Lu Yu shook his head. "Don't you know that Song Qingfeng started an elite club?"
