Chapter 689: Senior Zhu's Past (Part 2)

The great purge of the Kingdom of Machadon began.

Senior Zhu first used his outstanding eloquence and some promises to stabilize the three seventh-order people and their forces, and then launched a round of brutal purges against forces across the country that might pose a threat to him.

The first to bear the brunt were the four princes.

Senior Zhu has concrete evidence in his hands that they assassinated him and wanted to turn him into a puppet.

Under the overwhelming evidence, he personally led the Royal Guards to the residences of the four princes, and killed many people in a short time.

The power of the four princes disappeared under the iron heel of the Royal Guards.

The four princes were eradicated, and Senior Zhu found a large amount of property and land deeds from their mansions. All the consortiums and large enterprises controlled by the four princes also fell into his hands. This suddenly made the nearly dry treasury plump.

Then he worked hard to actively deal with the hostile big capital and landowners in the country, feed war with war, purge or exile them all, and move all the accumulated resources into the national treasury.

Senior Zhu thought very clearly that in order to carry out the purge, he must gain the support of ordinary people.

With the blessing of abundant resources he seized, he actively promoted reforms in the country.

He proposed an eight-hour work system, two days off per week, a substantial increase in the minimum wage for workers, the abolition of agricultural taxes, a substantial increase in the minimum purchase price of grain, and all grain purchases by the government...

Not only that, he also encouraged individual entrepreneurship with low interest rates and promoted the improvement of infrastructure construction.

His series of policies won the support of the people and completely revitalized the country's originally rigid economy. The kingdom's gross national product increased by 6% in just three months, completely creating history!

…

These policies can be said to be left-wing policies, which are completely opposite to the right-wing conservatism surrounding the Kingdom of Makadon.

If it were in the past, the international right-wing conservative forces headed by the Sun Empire would have already begun to intervene.

But as luck would have it, the time when Senior Zhu's policies were implemented coincided with the launch of Manina XIII's "Gravity Funnel" plan and the "Green Crown Bird" plan.

After the "Green Crown Bird" project ended, Senior Cao returned to Blue Star. All the attention of the Sun Empire was drawn to him, and he had no time to pay attention to the left-wing reforms in the small country of Makaton.

…

Seeing that the "Third Prince" became more and more powerful after he came to power, the Lieyang Empire didn't care at all, and there were no international economic sanctions. The three seventh-level princes gradually became unable to sit still.

At first, Senior Zhu would deliberately avoid their interests and single out the hostile nobles, but they would still turn a blind eye.

But as Senior Zhu's wings gradually matured, more large enterprises were transformed from private to state-owned, which completely touched their cake.

So these three giants gathered together to discuss whether to overthrow the evil-doing Makaton III and restore the glory of the kingdom.

But at this time, God helped Senior Zhu again.

Just recently, Manina XIII was unable to guard all the giant springs on Blue Star. He sent out invitations to all the god-level and seventh-level powerhouses in the world for help.

As a small country, Makaton's economy is highly dependent on the Sun Empire, so of course it cannot refuse the invitation of the suzerain.

In desperation, the three seventh-level players could only take their core team to the invitation to Blue Star.

And at this moment, Senior Zhu successfully returned to the seventh level integration stage, which was his peak strength!

He is the only one powerful in the country. Now he has begun to think about how to fully integrate the entire country, cleanse all opposition organizations, and make the entire country stronger.

…

It was at this time that Senior Zhu received the news of "A Thousand Beakers Arrested" and the red notice issued by Emperor Lieyang.

The news took him by surprise.

Unexpectedly, Blue Star actually sent 12 people at once this time. You must know that the previous two times totaled only 4 people.

Moreover, these 12 people are all players and their strength is very poor.

Most of them were directly upgraded by refining materials. They did not have complete equipment or complete sets of skills, and their combat effectiveness was quite poor.

To put it bluntly, the worst among them can only compete with the peak level 5 people, and are no match for ordinary level 6 people.

In this case, Senior Zhu must find a way to protect his people.

He increased investment in intelligence agencies and ordered them to monitor every move across the country and report any abnormalities immediately.

At the same time, he also took stock of the resources in the treasury. If he met a Blue Star player, he would definitely ask the player to bring some precious resources back to Blue Star.

Now that the space tunnel is open again, theoretically he can return to Blue Star again.

But with his current situation, he will definitely not come back!

Now that he is prosperous in the Kingdom of Macadon, he will definitely continue on this path and strive to stab the Skrull Expeditionary Force in the back after the war begins!

…

…

Senior Zhu's deeds come to an end here.

The screen returns to the 12 players who came to Skrull.

The news of "Being Drunk and Arrested" quickly spread throughout the Internet.

Due to the advanced information exchange on Skrull, everyone in the world was basically aware of it that afternoon.

The remaining 11 Blue Star players either haven't entered the Skrull settlement yet, or they already know the news.

Players who knew the news, while mourning for Qian Bei Bu Zui, also became more cautious about everything around them.

They now have the Red Wanted Order of Emperor Lieyang on their heads, and there are countless people who want to kill and capture them alive.

No matter what they do, they can't let ordinary Skrulls suspect them. They try to blend in with ordinary people and carefully cover their whereabouts, acting like spies behind enemy lines.

Some players are particularly good.

Two players from the Blue Star foreign server have arrived at the border of the Savage Continent. After learning that they have been issued a Red Wanted Order, they simply stay in the Savage Continent and don't come out!

Anyway, when they came, everyone was equipped with a space ring, which contained sufficient spiritual energy, food, drinking water and other supplies.

So they simply kept killing monsters in the Savage Continent and no longer had any intersection with the Skrulls.

There is no danger if there is no intersection. They just need to wait for the space channel to open again and return to Blue Star with the spoils.

Of course, not all players can have no intersection with the Skrulls, such as Xiaotian, Bing Hongcha, Snow Leopard and Yunzhong Mudi, who have tasks to do and must deal with the Skrulls.

That afternoon, Xiaotian successfully arrived at a border town near the Savage Continent.

She used the Lieyang coins given to her by Su Yu to buy a mobile phone, and learned about the arrest and wanted order of Qianbei Buzui through the phone.

"We must speed up!" Xiaotian sighed softly.

Staying in the Skrulls' territory will only become more and more dangerous, even in Baker Country.

She'd better complete the task given to her by Su Yu quickly, and then go to the Savage Continent to hide, which is the real safe place.
