Chapter 499 Unexpected Visitor
"Buddhist Kingdom, have the troops withdrawn?"
Three days later, the capital of Dashang.
The war report on the southwest border was heard, and the Qingdeng Buddha was seriously injured, and the Buddha's country retreated. The rare good news made the civil and military officials in the court and the people in the city very happy.
Since the outbreak of the war, Da Shang has been defeated again and again, especially in the northern border, where the army in the northern desert has advanced straight into the country, bringing great pressure on Da Shang.
Da Shang, it takes a victory to inspire people and morale.
The King of Southwest finally won a victory for Dashang at the moment when Dashang needed victory the most.
"The Heavenly Sword Ruoye is worthy of his reputation."
Imperial Palace, Shou'an Palace.
After hearing the detailed battle reports from the southwest border, a stream of light flashed in his sinister eyes.
Originally, he thought that the Heavenly Sword would only delay the Qingdian Buddha at most, but he did not expect that the Heavenly Sword Ruoye would seriously injure the Buddha in the human world.
It was really a surprise.
In this way, the southwest border of Da Shang was able to breathe for a short time.
The Li family finally became useful.
The Emperor Shang looked at the chess game in front of him, and his face showed a look of thought.
Now, there is one thing that needs to be resolved as soon as possible.
Military pay!
When fighting, military pay is required.
Da Shang, over the years, disasters have been constant in various places, and the cold winter tide has also occurred. People's harvest has dropped sharply, and tax revenue has also been greatly reduced.
The treasury is no longer as full as it used to be.
Although I can barely hold on now, I can't hold on for too long.
The war started on multiple fronts of the big merchants, and almost half of the big merchants were fighting. The military pay they needed was so huge that they could not bear it even if they had a solid foundation. They had to find a way to solve it.
Increased taxes may be able to solve this problem briefly, but the sequelae are also obvious.
If the taxes are too heavy, the people's dissatisfaction with the court will intensify, and may even lead to civil unrest.
Such things are not uncommon in all dynasties.
The gain is not worth the loss.
For military pay, we must think of another method.
The Emperor Shang held a black piece in his hand and looked at the chessboard, his expression becoming more and more serious.
On the chessboard, surrounded by black pieces, Bai Zi is in danger, and Bai Zi is the word "Li".
Move, still don't move!
The Emperor Shang held a black man in his hand, and there was a look of hesitation in his eyes.
The Li family can undoubtedly solve the problem of military pay to the greatest extent, but the consequences are also endless.
Over the years, there have been more and more people involved in interests in the Li family, whether local or court, and one moves the whole body, and the Li family will inevitably have great resistance.
Moreover, the Li family itself is a huge force. On the surface, there are many experts involved with the Li family. In secret, no one knows what kind of power the Li family hides.
After the imperial court has investigated for so many years, it still has nothing to find. It can be seen that the precision of the Li family intelligence network is.
It was not easy for the court to move the Li family.
I'm afraid that he had just had some thoughts and the Li family had already heard the news.
If the Li family cannot be destroyed with thunder, the Li family will definitely not sit still and wait for death.
Although the fish may not be broken, it is enough to cause the big merchants to get into big trouble.
Nowadays, foreign troubles in Dashang and there can be no more civil strife.
Thinking of this, Shang Huang clenched his right hand tightly and crushed the black spot in his hand without falling.
The Li family cannot move yet.
However, if the Li family is not moved, how should we solve the problem of military pay?
The Changsun family, Shang League, Yin family money house, and the people in power behind them are all powerful people. The power of the Shang Dynasty is deeply rooted in it and is closely involved with the court. It is also not easy to get them to take out the money.
Moreover, their financial resources are much different from those of the Li family. If they move, it is better not to move.
It's difficult!
Shang Huang's eyes looked at the word "Li" on the chessboard in front of him again, and light flashed in his eyes.
Li Yuan.
East Courtyard.
Li Ziye sat down with a small stool, holding a plate of watermelon in his hand.
Then, while watching the fun, he was a melon-eating crowd.
It's cold this year, and the watermelons are no longer sweet.
In front, Bai Wangyu, one man and one sword, was alone against the thirty-six Heavenly Gang masters. In less than half an hour, everyone was knocked down again.
but.
The progress of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang masters is obvious.
From less than a quarter of an hour at the beginning to now, it can last for half an hour, and its growth rate is amazing.
This is mainly due to Little Red Riding Hood.
After all, Little Red Riding Hood has thousands of years of martial arts experience and insights from the Confucian scholars. You can see the shortcomings and shortcomings of the thirty-six people at a glance. With a little guidance, the thirty-six people of Qingyi can benefit a lot.
Half an hour later.
Bai Wangyu walked out of the Tiangang Immortal Formation.
"sit."
Li Ziye patted the small stool beside him and grinned, "Eat a piece of watermelon to quench your thirst."
"Um."
Bai Wangyu nodded, and then sat aside, picked up a piece of watermelon and started to chew it.
If the disciples of the Confucian disciples saw that their senior brother was eating melons in public so much regardless of his image, his chin would probably fall off.
"The war report came from the Southwest Royal City, and the senior Tianjian severely injured the Qingdian Buddha."
Li Ziye said happily, "That old monk is not very good, it doesn't match the name."
Although Senior Tianjian was also seriously injured, fortunately he was saved by the Southwest King in time and his life was not hindered.
"The Heavenly Sword has indeed created a miracle."
Bai Wangyu said calmly, "The five realms are at its peak, and three flowers appear on the top. It's a pity that they are condensed but not real, higher than the five realms. Before breaking the five realms, they are only half a step away."
"Not a pity."
Li Ziye smiled and said, "It was the best result to defeat the old monk and save his life. I think that even if the old monk had a treasure like Zhaoshi Qingdeng, it would not take a day or two to fully recover. Da Shang could finally take a breath."
Bai Wangyu had heard the words of the boy around him, and sighed softly, "This war should not be. The cold winter is coming, and the countries on earth are still consuming each other. When the cold winter comes, there is no power to fight against the cold winter."
"You and I understand the truth, and those who raise troops also understand it. Unfortunately, if resources are unevenly distributed, there will be war."
Li Ziye said with a calm expression, "Standing from Mobei's standpoint, if I were the great king of the Eight Tribes of Mobei, I would not be able to watch the people freeze to death. In war, there is no absolute justice. Everything is just a different position."
"Brother Li's vision and mind are always so broad." Bai Wangyu said softly.
"Broad, fart."
Li Ziye said angrily, "That's not threatening my Li family. If someone dares to steal the rice from my Li family, I will definitely cut him to death!"
The words just fell.
Li Ziye felt a violent throbbing for no reason.
So sudden, without any warning.
Li Ziye was stunned and looked subconsciously at the north.
What's going on?
At the same time, Dashang Capital, outside the North City Gate.
A woman in a light blue dress came over and walked straight into the city.
A woman with an ordinary appearance looks ordinary, and her clothes and appearance are no different from normal merchants.
Tai Academy, East Court.
The woman had just entered the city and the book of heaven gave a warning in the wooden house.
A page is turned, and the broken scroll reflects the woman's face.
"I actually came to Dashang Capital."
Confucius casually glanced at the Book of Heaven, and a look of surprise appeared on his old face.
This girl is so brave.
Aren't you afraid of dying under destiny?
