273 Chapter 273 Monster King Government Decree (1/2)

Pretty much at the same time, within the Gantian Mountain Chongzhen Hall, the atmosphere was unusually solemn. Hu Zhongyuan stood behind all of them in a more central position. His expression was really respectful, his eyes not looking away. However, for some reason, he felt the atmosphere today getting more and more wrong.

He could feel a knife-like gaze sweep down on him from the elevated portion of the hall, causing him to feel a chill down his spine. But when he carefully looked over he couldn't see anything wrong.

Only Zong Shou sat on the throne. Just 14 years-old, that slightly thin body sat in that wide chair. It seemed quite funny.

However, his face was tightly scrounged up. Thinking back to 3 days ago, his killing intent and decisiveness, cruel methods, it made one feel like bursting into a laugh.

”Since the ruler once to consider this war loses into the country's treasury then I have nothing to say.”

The one who spoke was Ren Bo. He was around 40, wearing a scholarly crown and a white robe.

Gantian mountain city didn't have any official arrangement and also no office. Hence, there weren't any designated uniforms which were why their clothing was all different.

At this moment, the white robbed prime minister's brows were furrowed as he said coldly, ”I only want to remind your majesty that our Gantian mountain city hasn't gone down the cloud ocean to hunt beasts, and we can see the bottom of our treasury. If there are any additional expenditures, we would be unable to form another cloud ocean hunt.”

Zong Shou sat on the throne. He was first slightly astonished. He had forgotten about this matter. Gantian mountain city's normal tax returns and various income took up less than half of the country treasury. The true big one was beneath the cloud ocean.

Gantian mountain hadn't had a ruler for months and this cloud ocean hunt was naturally put to a stop.

After he became ruler, his subordinates looked forward to this. This was also the most important mission of Gantian mountain city.

He waved his hand without much care, signaling Ren Bo, who was cold towards him, to back down. Then, he gave a hand signal towards Chuxue at the side.

Chuxue hesitated, after a short while he took a few scrolls and stood in front of the throne. She coughed softly, ”The ruler now has several government decrees to make, please listen up!”

The people in the hall all were solemn when they heard that. They all lowered their heads and quietly listened.

New rulers often made changes when they were appointed, much less this well-hidden, extremely strong young Monster king who had suppressed all the powers in the city just as he was appointed.

This was also the 1st decree after he took the throne so they treated it respectfully and carefully.

Seeing the situation Chuxue was more relaxed, calming down and reading according to the bright yellow words on the decree, ”2 days ago I ordered Hu Zhongyuan to secretly visit various parts of the city to check the morally wrong and harmful Shili Ling Xiangding. In the future, it might affect our culture. Especially the Quiet Cloud Pavilion. Within it, all the males and females are flirty and obscene. The prostitution within can't be accepted. After he reported it, I was furious. This evil wind cannot be left to grow. I order left pillar general to check on this place as well as all the brothels in the city. From today on after 11 o'clock, we will have night curfew!”

When she read that Chuxue was enlightened. Thinking that the prince's revenge was here. Moreover, he was settling a personal matter through his official position. How evil. However, checking the brothels was a good thing.

Hu Zhongyuan below was stunned. When did he receive instructions from the ruler to observe and investigate the city? He also didn't say how it affected the culture and was morally wrong? Although this Quiet Cloud pavilion was an entertainment place, the girls inside didn't sell their bodies. No prostitution and any obscene stuff happened within.

The officials in the hall were instantly silent. Hu Qianqiu's face was also changing, staring angrily at his son. The other people all had weird expressions.

They were all not proper righteous men, so who here hadn't been to that Shili Ling Xiangding? They more or less had 1-2 people they frequented there.

Although it affected the culture and was immoral, it wasn't anything serious.

He really couldn't understand why Zong Shou would treat this matter so seriously and make it his first decree since he took the throne.

They all exchanged glances with one another. It was still Ren Bo who stepped out, ”Ruler, that Shili Ling Xiangding's tax is enough to support 3 towns! They are all poor girls who are unable to find jobs elsewhere. If you think they are immoral you can increase tax. Moreover, it isn't wartime. I don't think there's a need for this night curfew...”

Zong Shou pouted. Then, he took up 3 pieces of paper from his table. One writing ”too busy at night”, the other writing ”population” and the last one was ”war wind.”Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.

He muttered and pointed out towards Chuxue. She looked for a long while before she understood, helping him relay the message with a weird expression on her face,” the ruler said that it is too busy at night and isn't a good thing for our Gantian Mountain City. So he wants the night curfew so the young boys can go back to give birth to children. Our Gantian mountain relies on our people for war, and we rise only because of our great martial cultivation. That small income from hands-on businesses can be forgotten. Increasing our population and keeping the prosperity of our races is most important!”

So the young master wasn't taking revenge, but he was giving out a proper decree? Yesterday he went to understand the lives of the people?

The entire hall's atmosphere turned solemn, and everyone's expression in the hall changed.

The race leaders who looked at him with weird gazes, their expressions had more respect for Zong Shou.

How did they not understand such a simple theory? Their kids from morning to night they were getting wilder. They should rush back to train or to accompany their wives to give birth to kids to strengthen the race. It was better for the nights to be more mundane, so a night curfew was a good choice.
