In an ordinary house.

Fang Xuanling stood beside a bed: "Stay rest, everything in the court is fine."

The patient lying on the bed coughed twice, his face as if he was as golden as paper, and he tried hard to sit up: "You don't need to comfort me... Cough cough cough, I know, the situation outside is now chaotic."

Du Ruhui's eyes were tired, and he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief: "When something happened to the prince, someone in the court is ready to move again, targeting the three religions under the guise of dealing with ghosts. This time it is a Taoist sect. But they don't know that this is like destroying one's own arm."

"The three religions are the key pillars for maintaining the stability of demons and ghosts. The Taoist sect is now becoming more and more born. Is there any more demons and ghosts in various places? "

"I have been supervising Youwei for many years, cough cough, cough cough, I know very well."

"You said, you said."

Fang Xuanling was silent for a moment: "This matter was unexpected."

In the past two years, with the deposed prince, the young and strong, who are politically radical, have been actively offering suggestions to launch a large-scale clearance of ghosts to shock the slut.

Most of this group of people are young or in the army. They want to make achievements, but they are not sensitive to the large-scale impact caused by the change of policy guidelines.

However, they have now become the implementers of the imperial orders.

The order to kill You was more like unbuttoning their hand holding the sword. All regions launched a vigorous suppression of You. If there were no one, they would be questioned instead.

As a result, most of the ten prefectures were carried into a turbulent river.

"I am not as good as you in strategy." Du Ruhui covered his mouth: "But analytical assertions, I have some experience in this regard."

"I really don't know that such a matter that may shake the country's foundation and damage the country's destiny was actually launched so hastily? Why?"

He stared at his old friend who had been with him for many years: "The only one who discusses this matter is Your Majesty, you, the Painting Saint and the Sword Saint, what do you want to do? He will bet on the people of the world as a bet?"

Fang Xuanling just whispered: "Eighty or nine out of ten things that have never been satisfactory."

“This could have been avoided!”

Du Ruhui coughed and said, "If the court nods, the prefecture can make this happen! The ghost is only targeting the officials of the court and does not touch the people at all. This is putting pressure on the court!"

"The conflict suddenly intensified, forcing demons and other guardians to resign a lot. The power of the Jianyou Guard expanded, further exaggerated the establishment of checkpoints and arrested people everywhere. Tell me, are these people really ghosts? Is one-third of them?"

Fang Xuanling was speechless.

"I'm sick and can't get out of this door, but I have eyes and ears."

Du Ruhui looked heartbroken: "This year, there were heavy rainstorms, floods could not escape, and farmers were unable to harvest. All localities would definitely lie to get rid of their responsibilities and use the vague power given by the court to exploit the people! The people can only escape. Tell me, how many refugees are there now?"

Fang Xuanling said slowly: "The Ministry of Revenue statistics show that there are about 1.6 million."

"One and six million?"

Du Ruhui smiled bitterly: "How many people died?"

Silence for a while.

"There are more than 200,000 people killed by bandits during the arrest, and more than 200,000 people were killed by bandits."

Du Ruhui was dizzy: "I'm confused, I'm confused, the emperor is confused!"

He suddenly supported himself: "I want to see the emperor!"

Fang Xuanling supported him: "Stay more..."

"What are you afraid of? The emperor can't even listen to these words!" Du Ru's cheeks flushed with bad luck, and she glared at her old friend: "There is a locust plague in front and a secret disaster in the back, and now it is a flood. Do you want to see the fate of the Tang Dynasty from its prosperity to its destruction?"

"How long has the former Sui Dynasty just passed away!"

Fang Xuanling sighed.

Just the opposite.

It is because the emperor could listen that he had to compromise.

If that secret is exposed, the world of Posa will be truly divided and the country will be destroyed and the city will be destroyed... Therefore, we must integrate our strength, let the young and strong factions come to power, clear the internal compromise factions, and fight with the Three-Phase Youwang and his party!

No matter how much sacrifice, you must make way for this!

"Have you ever thought about it? What should those people do?"

Du Ruhui was so angry that he was so angry that he was out of breath: "What do they use to protect themselves? They had no food to eat, and they had to face the prison disaster that could occur at any time, and they had to be wary of bandits, and demons might attack them at any time... What about them? Have you ever thought about it? Just let them not speak out?"

Fang Xuanling couldn't answer, so he could only turn around and leave.

He was the left prime minister of the Tang Dynasty and had to bear some things.

...

On the South China Sea.

Shen City has become extremely prosperous and lively now. However, a year after the opening of the market, ships of all sizes have been moored around, with merchant ships constantly coming and going, and the port workers have been shouting, and boxes of packaged goods were sent to the market south by mule carts.

Businessmen, farmers, and refugees from all over the world came to this seaside to look for opportunities. This place is different from the inland area, and it is peaceful and even if there is friction between them, they will restrain each other.

The reason is simple. No one wants to be expelled by the divine weapons and generals of the Dragon Palace in the South China Sea, and there is no chance to set foot.

This is the territory of the Dragon King of the South China Sea.

Unlike the chaos and noise in the port, the Shenshi Market District is in order. Next to people walk, there is a horse road where horse carriages and mules carriages walk. If there is a dispute, look for Shenshen generals and soldiers.

The god general, Snake Demon, led a group of divine weapons to patrol the Shen City. Most people looked at awe wherever they passed.

He enjoyed this feeling very much.

It is no longer pure fear, but also respect and envy.

Datou warned a businessman: "You, don't park the mule cart in the middle of the road blocking the road. Do you see the marking place next to it? There is a stop."

"Yes, yes, yes, this is the time for a young man to come here, I don't understand the rules."

The businessman obviously came here and was not familiar with the place.

Datou nodded: "It's nothing new to come. Shenshi is a place that follows rules. It's easy to do if you understand the rules."

After giving a few instructions to the other party, he walked forward swaggeringly.

When passing by the shop in Fuyun Temple, Datou immediately changed to a smile: "Master Wu, are you here today?"

In the past, Master Wu basically went back and forth between Wudang and Fuyun Temple.

Wu Qi also greeted him: "Thank you for your hard work, come in and have a cup of tea?"

"No, there is also official business."

Big head left.

Wu Qi turned his face and looked at Wang Yang opposite him: "Senior Brother Wang, the 'Langya Restaurant' you bought is a prosperous business. Is it the closest restaurant here, right?"

Wang Yang smiled and said, "It's not that we're having too hard to eat, we're setting up a restaurant to change the taste."

He was also a little proud.

Just relying on the revenue of this Langya Restaurant in the year has made him highly praised in the family.

Vision and achievements are indispensable.

However, my best vision is that I didn't look at the person in front of me. This is the greatest investment I could possibly invest in my life.

"There are also demands for spiritual feasts made of various spiritual materials."

Wang Yang changed the subject: "But I'm all a small business, I'm making some hard money. Jin Zihan and Bian Yanzhi next door are called making money every day. Then 'Nan Shipyard', hey, I'm queuing every day and I can't finish the orders."

Wu Qi nodded.

Nanshi Shipyard is a shipyard led by Jin Zihan and Bian Yanzhi and built in a joint venture between Longhushan and Maoshan.

This shipyard does not do other businesses, but only builds auxiliary ship-like magic tools.

A magic weapon ship like "breaking" is extremely difficult to refine. It also requires a lot of time to sacrifice and repeatedly melt forging. It is not a quick product, and there is not enough manpower in Shenshi.

But if you think about it, you don’t do the whole ship, but only provide magic tools such as using spiritual energy to speed up the speed, increase flexibility, use wind power more efficiently, identify wind directions and directions, and even make the ship more flexible and stable in the face of wind and waves... These are all very practical things.

This type of magic weapon is an indispensable equipment upgrade for maritime merchants, and it immediately attracted a large number of ships to dock. Many of them were ships from other sea areas, just to assemble the accessories of this maritime magic weapon.

The Nanshi Shipyard has extremely high profits, and has received a large number of rare treasures collected by merchants. There were even two magic weapons in it, and the profits were quite high.

"But what I actually didn't expect the most was fellow Taoist Ji Zhan."

Wang Yang whispered: "I heard that he is in the secret realm of the South China Sea, and it is still in the early stage of the Dan Gang, right? In other words, he has reached the late stage of the Dan Gang within a year... This is simply a monster, and even envy him."

Wu Qi smiled: "Fellow Daoist Ji is already a talented person, otherwise he would not have been accepted as a disciple by the deputy head of Qingcheng Mountain "Sheng Ding Jushi".

Women will only affect my sword drawing speed.

This sentence is very suitable for Ji Zhan.

Since Ji Jiuzhen cut off his desire for men and women, Ji Zhan has become colder and colder, like a human-shaped sword weapon. On the plus side, he is getting closer and closer to the sword path he is pursuing.

It looks like a classical sword cultivator.

However, Meng Changge, the head of Qingcheng Mountain here, eats and drinks every day, and goes to chat with a female cultivator led by Bai Jie, looking like she is lingering in the flowers.

I feel quite happy.

Wu Qi sometimes wonders, if Meng Changge and Bai Jie really become Taoist partners, would one day Meng Changge be dealt with by Bai Jie... If that were the case, that would be great.

"...It's not a good life in the Tang Dynasty. So many merchants, farmers and refugees came because business was difficult to do there, and bandits and demons were everywhere. The world became more and more chaotic, and I don't know what I was doing today."

Wang Yang complained: "But the business of the Xihai Yaksha Army is getting better and better, and they serve as guards everywhere."

Wu Qi took a sip of tea.

The back door was suddenly pushed open.

Chen Gao looked excited: "Junior brother, junior brother!"

His voice was trembling: "The "Sword Pill Gourd" has been completed, it has been completed!"

Wu Qi stood up suddenly: "Go!"
Chapter completed!
