Time Loop: Caught by Six Doors at the Beginning Chapter 509: Make a Hole
Shangjing was quite uneasy today. It rained heavily twice in total.
This made the young emperor who was sitting in the palace thinking about countermeasures extremely happy.
He stretched out his hand, touched the raindrops falling from the sky, and couldn't help but sigh:
"The sky produces water, and nectar rains down everywhere. It's good." Note 1
"Are you saying that Chu Aiqing used Taoist magic to bring down this rain?"
Hai Lingqing, the maid who has been accompanying the young emperor, said quickly:
"Your Majesty, it is absolutely true. The Prime Minister sent an urgent report, saying that Zen Master Zu'an of Wanshou Temple invited Chu Qianqiu back to Wanshou Mountain and wanted to spend a lot of money to buy secret techniques."
"Since Chu Qianqiu is greedy for money and profit, why not let our Hai family come forward and buy this secret skill."
The Hai family is the purse strings of the royal family and the young emperor. As the personal maid of the young emperor, Hai Lingqing naturally has no shirk in her responsibilities.
"Wanshou Temple will not agree."
“It’s not easy for Buddhism to have this opportunity.”
The young emperor shook his head and then ordered:
"These days, it's better to do nothing."
"Let's wait until the blood elixir subsides."
"You don't want to join in either."
"Your Majesty." Hai Lingqing asked dissatisfiedly.
"Listen to me." The young emperor said without any doubt, the trouble caused by the blood pill had just begun.
Maha Temple will send people to investigate, and Zhenwu Sect will also send people to assist in the investigation in accordance with the Buddhist and Taoist Agreement.
Now is not the time for extraneous matters.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Hai Lingqing said reluctantly.
"Have all arrangements been made for Imperial Physician Dian's family?"
"I said that I would protect their glory and wealth." The young emperor continued to ask the old god, and Hai Lingqing quickly replied:
"Your Majesty, don't worry. They have all been arranged to join the Hai family's trading firm. They are arranged according to their status. The legitimate son of the Dian family has also entered the Sihai Bank and asked him to take charge of one side."
"People from the Dian family can get regular money every month from now on."
After hearing the news, the young emperor nodded with satisfaction.
"Very good. With the Hai family here, I feel relieved."
"In the future, I will still use people from the Dian family."
These words made Hai Lingqing ask worriedly.
"Your Majesty, will this Dian family member be dissatisfied?"
"If they think that Imperial Physician Dian is doing it for His Majesty..."
I couldn't bear to say the words "take the blame", which made the young emperor say in a funny way.
"Ling Qing, I asked you not only to manage money, but also to read more words of saints. It seems that you rarely read."
"Please give me your Majesty's teachings."
Hai Lingqing asked with a blush on her face. She squatted beside the emperor and blinked.
"The sage has a saying: If the advantage comes from one hole, the country will be invincible. If the advantage comes from two holes, the army will be invincible. If the advantage comes from three holes, the army cannot be raised. If the advantage comes from four holes, the country will be destroyed." Note 2
"Ling Qing, you know...
What do you mean?" the young emperor said with a chuckle.
"I don't know." Hai Lingqing was a little confused and shook her head.
"What is a hole? It is a channel."
"What it means is that there is only one way for the people and subjects to gain glory and wealth, and that is the imperial court."
"Like the Liu family in Yuzhou, who built some textile looms and just want to be rich and prosperous?"
"If I don't allow it, they will not be able to be prosperous and wealthy, and they will have no choice but to go bankrupt."
"This is a sharp hole."
"There are so many chaotic parties in the world now, because there are wealthy businessmen, sects, aristocratic families, and martial arts holy places in the world."
"They can be prosperous and wealthy without relying on the imperial court. Naturally, they do not know how to respect the imperial court, and they are prone to become rebellious officials and traitors."
"The world is in chaos."
The young emperor sighed.
If the common people earn money by standing still, will they still fear the court?
They will feel that they are very capable and do not know how to be grateful to the court.
"My servant understands." Hai Lingqing finally realized that just like the Hai family, their prosperity and wealth depended on the emperor, so they naturally had to be slaves.
"As for the Dian family you mentioned, they will understand where their glory and wealth come from." The young emperor smiled and spoke directly.
"The sage has said: Therefore, it is up to the king to give, to take away, to be poor, to be rich, and to be rich. Therefore, the people wear their clothes like the sun and moon, and love the king like their parents." Note 3
"Even if I kill their parents, their glory and wealth are all in my hands, and they will naturally work for me honestly."
"People will forget the hatred of killing their father, but they will never forget the hatred of taking wealth."
"Your Majesty is wise!" Hai Lingqing was convinced. She really did not study too much.
"Ahem, so I want to build a true royal paradise, so that the world's wealth, whether it is martial arts, secret books, official positions, everything they pursue can only be given by me."
"Buddhism is not allowed, and Taoism is not allowed either."
All mountains, rivers, fields, minerals, and all wealth in the world belong to me, and I will distribute it to build a royal paradise.
It's all my money!
"This slave is willing to follow Your Majesty forever."
Hai Lingqing finally understood the dream of the young emperor, and couldn't help but feel a little crazy for a while.
If His Majesty possesses all the wealth in the world, then she can also share His Majesty's glory.
"It's a pity that a person as elegant as Chu Aiqing can understand what I mean."
Wanshou Temple, Jingkong Zen Temple
Chu Qianqiu succeeded in making rain and used the Taoist secret technique in front of everyone, finally convicting Taoist Yi of his crime. Everyone had a tacit understanding to let him take the blame, and the matter ended there.
Otherwise, if the imperial court intercepts the rainwater from Fengzhou and uses it to irrigate Yongzhou, it will become the fuse that triggers chaos in Fengzhou.
Except for the Shenwei Army, which may be happy to see the result, other forces are unwilling to accept such a result.
Therefore, Yidao people must take all the blame...
The prime minister's conspiracy was extinguished by the heavy rain, and he could only leave with a sigh, but Zen Master Zu An brought Chu Qianqiu here very respectfully.
Chu Qianqiu didn't know how many times he came to Wanshou Temple, but his attitude was completely different. Zen Master Zuyuan personally greeted him outside the door, politely invited him into the Zen room, made tea himself, and asked him about his welfare.
"As expected, Patron Chu is a genius. He actually cracked the secret technique that Wanshou Temple has been unable to obtain for the past two years..."
"Zen Master, I just want to ask you a question." Chu Qianqiu said bluntly without being polite.
"Do you want this secret technique of rainfall to be owned exclusively by Wanshou Temple, owned by Buddhism, and owned by the world?"
"Almsgiver Chu, I don't understand. What's the difference?" Zen Master Zuyuan was stunned. He didn't expect that Chu Qianqiu was going to sell it at three prices for a secret technique.
"If it belongs to Wanshou Temple, then Chu will not sell it to anyone else, even if Maha Temple asks for it."
"If it belongs to Buddhism, then Chu can sell it to other people."
"As for everyone in the world, Chu will sell it to every sect or force that is interested."
There are many ways to sell a piece of technology, and the prices are naturally different.
Anyway, Chu Qianqiu can recycle, so he doesn't care how much money he sells at one time, he just wants to test Wanshou Temple's bottom line.
"Then it belongs to everyone in the world."
"I wonder if Donor Chu wants a magical elixir or a secret book?"
Zen Master Zuyuan hesitated for a moment, of course he wanted to monopolize it.
But if the secret technique of rainfall is exclusive to Wanshou Temple, it will also bear corresponding responsibilities, which means that it will be responsible for the drought in the world.
"One Wanshou Pill is enough." Chu Qianqiu was not greedy, because this secret technique was not worth much.
"Almsgiver Chu is indeed compassionate." Zen Master Zuyuan was already prepared to be ripped off, but he didn't expect Chu Qianqiu to take a step back.
"Hold on, Zen Master. I also hope that Wanshou Temple will agree to an additional condition."
"Donor Chu, it's okay to say it."
"Go to Fengzhou to bring rain and help the victims."
"How many victims do you think this secret skill is worth?"
Zen Master Zuyuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
"Namo Amitabha, I agreed."
"Thank you Zen Master for your help."
"If money is needed, Chu will never be stingy."
Chu Qianqiu smiled in relief. Ever since he learned about the severe drought in Fengzhou, his mood had been very heavy. It was not until this moment that he felt much more comfortable.
Dog Emperor, I understand your ideal of possessing everything and controlling everything.
