Chapter 134: Completion of the Longevity Statue
What Butei said is indeed reasonable.
In this case, the military advisor didn't say much anymore and just said flatteringly: "My lord is wise!"
"Lord, Holy Ming!" For a time, all the backbones of the rebel army also echoed.
"in addition...."
On the throne.
Wu Detective continued: "Wukang, go and order a thousand men and horses, and seal all the official roads from the royal capital to various places. Don't let those royals run away!"
Wukang is a rough man.
After hearing this, he said without thinking: "What if the members of the royal family do not follow the official path and directly leave the royal capital through the alley?"
"This is unlikely." The military advisor smiled and said, "It's easy to encounter strange people when walking on small roads, and most of the people in the royal family have never practiced strength. If you walk on small roads, you are almost certain to die."
Without further ado.
After hearing what the military advisor said, Wukang no longer hesitated and just replied to Wu Zhen: "Brother, I'll go right now."
After that, he walked out of the main hall...
At the same time.
within the walls.
From the conversation between Wu Detective and others, Su Xing had already figured out that these people probably didn't know the secret of the 'Holy Land'.
Otherwise, Wukang would not let Wukang lead troops to block the official road.
Since he could no longer find out more information, Su Xing would not stay here any longer.
He maintained his 'enchanted' state and quickly returned to his home from the palace...
…
The next day.
The rebel forces headed by Wu Recon quickly took control of the entire Taoist sect and issued a series of announcements to appease the people.
That afternoon.
The military detective held a coronation ceremony outside the main gate of the palace and promised the people of the world in public that he would build a world without oppression and slavery.
Another day passed like this.
With a series of measures successfully implemented, the craftsmen and slaves at the 'Shou Statue Construction Site' have also been dismissed.
At night, all the residents in the royal city shouted the name of the Holy Lord Wu Detective.
But within a few days, after the craftsmen were sent home, a wave of unemployment began to sweep across the entire royal city.
The craftsmen lost their jobs, and even the Jiaofangsi and snack vendors near the 'Shou Statue Construction Site' were unable to sustain themselves.
The rebel forces don't understand what economics is, and they don't know why the economy in the royal capital collapsed as soon as they dismissed the craftsmen.
With no other choice, Wu Detective listened to the suggestions of the Sword Master and Jianghu Baixiaosheng, and made the difficult decision of 'maintaining the status quo'.
——While shouting "no oppression", they still hired craftsmen and rebuilt the meaningless "Shou Statue".
And the residents of the royal city soon discovered.
The arrival of the rebels does not seem to have changed the status quo in any way:
The craftsmen, traders, and farmers who work hard every day are still working hard and need to hand over part of their income to those in authority.
The superiors in the palace were replaced by high-level officials in the rebel army, and they chanted slogans such as "equality" and "no oppression" all day long.
But in fact, these people are still like Taoists, enjoying the various benefits brought by the "Dragon Cultivation".
As the saying goes, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
Now that you have exhausted all your efforts and become a master, how can you let it all go so easily?
Not only do they not let go, they also want to pass it on from generation to generation.
Of course.
There are indeed some people in the rebel army who have not forgotten their original aspirations.
For example, a military advisor.
For example, Takeei's younger brother Takekan.
Because they entered the main hall with their left foot first when going to court, the two men were tricked to death by the ministers in the court on the twentieth day after they took office.
Also executed for the 'Left Foot Incident' were more than a dozen other people who did not forget their original aspirations.
After killing a group of people, by mid-January, no more dissenting voices could be heard in the court, and the entire new dynasty was a scene of peace and prosperity.
There was only one thing that gave Wu Detective and the entire court a headache.
Although the Dao Sect has been destroyed, the mess left behind by the Dao Sect before its destruction, and the 'poverty disease' raging in the royal city, has become more and more rampant.
also.
As early as when he was in Tupo Village, Su Xing had already come to the conclusion that Taoism itself could print 'currency', that is, lifespan.
Because of this, people in Nanbuzhou can use life span as currency and circulate it in the market.
Although the rebel army captured the royal city, they were unable to unravel the secret of the Tao Sect's "lifespan born out of thin air".
They are incapable of issuing 'currency'.
As we all know, when the total amount of money increases, prices will skyrocket.
Otherwise, it will plummet.
Both of these will have a huge impact on the economy.
As the lifespans were being consumed continuously and no new lifespans were flowing into the market, a situation of ‘goods but no price’ began to appear in the royal city.
Prices in the city plummeted and the economy gradually collapsed.
In desperation, the forces of the new dynasty headed by Wujian had no choice but to borrow money from the "Shuzhuang" in the royal city and promised an interest of one cent per year.
With this, Ma Wansan, the big boss of Shouzhuang, successfully entered the court.
By the end of February, with the help of Boss Ma, the economy of Wangcheng had gradually stabilized, and the 'Shou Statue Construction Site' had been successfully completed....
…
The first day of March.
Nanfanbuzhouwangcheng, the construction site of the Shou statue.
Although Nanfanbuzhou is located in the south, the weather in February is still somewhat cool.
Due to the temperature, although Su Xing was wearing the hood on his black robe, he did not look out of place in the crowd at all.
——After all, the rest of the people who eat melons also wear hats.
The residents of the royal city gathered here today just to take a look at the elegance of the ‘Shou Statue’.
Influenced by the Taoist sect, most people in Nanfang continent believe in the indescribable creature ‘Shou’.
In this regard, even the new dynasty is unable to change and can only comply with the public sentiment and actively promote the "Shou Statue".
The content of the new propaganda is very simple:
Under the governance of Taoism, this 'Shou Statue' could not be built for more than ten years, but when the new dynasty took over, it was completed in just two months.
Comparing the two, Xinchao and Daomen are clearly superior to each other.
In the square of the Shou Statue construction site.
Wujian stepped forward, lit the incense in his hand, knelt down and bowed to the longevity statue, and then placed the incense in his hand on the incense table.
Don't know why.
Just as Wu Zhen was offering incense, Bai Xiaosheng, who had been mixed in the team, suddenly rushed out of the crowd and knelt down towards the incense table.
Seeing Bai Xiaosheng doing such an outrageous thing, there were immediately soldiers around who wanted to stop him.
At the critical moment, the sword master Shan Yuxing took action.
He just tapped his finger forward, and immediately countless swords flew to Bai Xiaosheng, forming a barrier composed of swords.
Butei was anxious.
An ominous premonition suddenly occurred in his heart, and he glared at the sword master: "Shan Yuxing, what do you want to do? Rebellion?"
Sword Master Shan Yuxing glanced at Wu Zhen and said nothing, but focused on Bai Xiaosheng.
Bai Xiaosheng, on the other hand, still knelt down in front of the incense table with a devout look on his face, and kept muttering in a low voice: "In the eternal mansion, in the abyss, the indescribable things that sleep forever are waiting... In the name of all the ignorant,
Serve the omniscient, almighty, great God of longevity.”
Bai Xiaosheng's words seemed to have some kind of magic power.
As he kept chanting in a low voice, he saw the clouds over the Shou Xiang construction site quickly surging and gathering together.
Not long after.
The cloud has turned into a huge eyeball exactly like the 'Shou Statue'.
Chapter completed!
