There are eight characters in total - if you are ordered by heaven, you will live a long and prosperous life. There is nothing new, but since it has been the same for all kings and dynasties, Zong Shou can only follow the custom and is too lazy to innovate.
Only the boy under his command is a little different - the seal of the Lord of Qiantian Kingdom is written in these six seal characters.
Look at the silk. It is also made of century-old dragon silk, and the dye is also extremely expensive.
According to Ren Bo and his ministers, animal skins can no longer be used. Ordinary paper cannot be used either.
Since it is already a big country, it should have the style of a big country. Some money cannot be saved.
But the words on the silk made Zong Shou's heart tighten even more. There was no need to look at the rest, but the number of eighty-two million fourth-order beast crystals made people's hearts beat with fear.
This was Zong Shou's own plan for the compensation for the fallen generals and the rewards for the armies after the victory.
Although this battle was a complete victory, almost all the larger forces in Yunlu to the east were defeated.
But it wasn't perfect, just when he led all the elite cavalry troops to the foot of Shangxiao Mountain.
The 360 military towns in Qiantian, plus the hundreds of thousands of elite troops in Xuanshan City, struggled to withstand the fierce attack of the Thousand Cities Alliance, and the damage reached 300,000 people.
After careful calculation, plus the cost of supporting an army of more than three million in conquests, as well as the subsequent expansion of the army, the number was so large that it almost completely depleted the Qiantian treasury.
He even needs to take out part of his expected income from his pocket to supplement it.
His heart ached so much that he didn't want to read it anymore. Zong Shou hurriedly threw the roll of silk in his hand into the corner of the desk.
After taking another deep breath, my mood calmed down a little, but I was still extremely confused.
Right opposite the book desk, Ren Bo was standing with the presence of the old god. When he saw this, he couldn't help but feel secretly amused.
He took the edict in his hand, opened it and looked at it, but he was shocked: "Your Highness is so generous! With 82 million fourth-level beast crystals, even the most ordinary soldier can gain a lot this time. .However, this money is in the national treasury and cannot be withdrawn now."
Zong Shou waved his hand and said angrily: "The shortfall can be temporarily borrowed from the inner treasury. However, you will have to pay me back in the future. This time it will be 20% interest per month."
This time, Ren Bo did not argue with the amount of interest, but looked at Zong Shou strangely: "I thought that His Highness could not increase taxes, so the reward must be reduced -"
Zong Shou sneered, thinking that although I, Zong Shou, may not know how to govern the country, I can still win over the morale of the army. Please keep this in mind.
At this time, no matter how distressed he was, the money must be taken out.
The spiritual tide has just begun, and the Tianshan Mountains are far from being released to the Nanshan Mountains.
"Then just follow your Majesty's orders!"
Ren Bo smiled, leaned down and saluted, accepting the order. Then he asked: "So, what are your plans for the invitation of the Great Merchant Alliance?"
Zong Shou frowned, wanting to allocate his strength to conquer the outside world. But he couldn't ignore this matter.
That space-time rift is actually closer to the Central Cloud Continent. Even if the sky is dry, it cannot escape responsibility.
Then with a sigh, Lingyun Sect's power declined greatly, and all the sects in Qiantian fled and were destroyed.
Qian Tianshan will eventually have to take on this kind of thing. Now he can only get more benefits from Dashang.
"In addition to the five hundred military towns, there will be an additional two hundred thousand elite cavalry!"
Fortunately, Qian Tian was unified, and all he had to do was to suppress the cities and reduce their troops. Once Donglin was completely pacified, the burden would be light.
But it's not good to have no war at all. That place can be used for military training.
Before the spiritual tide, he planned to gradually replace all the military towns in Qiantian Mountain with Xuanwu Masters as the main ones.
In addition, there must be at least 100,000 fourth-level powerhouses to form an elite.
Thinking about it this way, it is even more necessary to conquer the outside world and plunder resources.
Ren Bo nodded, knowing that the expansion of Jingqi was to deal with this matter.
Then he looked around: "So, does this palace need to be expanded and rebuilt?"
The Yanyan Palace on the top of Qiantian Mountain is said to be a palace, but in fact the city lord's palaces in some big cities to the east are several times stronger than this one.
It was built in the Zong Weiran era, and was completed shortly after the construction of Qiantian Mountain City. It was fine before, but now compared to Qiantian Mountain's status in the Yun Realm, it can only be called simple.
Zong Shou was immediately moved when he heard this. He also felt that this palace was too simple.
He has only two pursuits in his life, one is to pursue the ultimate in martial arts, and the other is to live a good life. This was his desire after being lonely as a child when he was talking about Qiu in his 'previous life'. It can almost be said to be an obsession.
But thinking about it carefully, Zong Shou couldn't help but sigh. It wasn't that he didn't want to repair it, but that he really didn't have any money in his pocket. Even if he had it, he couldn't bear it. He had to use it on Zhou Shu first.
"No! This smoke palace can still be used. Let's wait for two years."
Ren Bo was inexplicably moved and bowed: "Your Majesty is wise! After the war, it is time to cherish the people's strength and cultivate themselves. Your Majesty has clear rewards and punishments, and acts with moderation. It's funny that I was still worried when your Majesty raised taxes. This is Only then did I realize that Ren Bo was unfounded in worrying about heaven. Today, I will serve the people of heaven on my behalf, and I would like to express my gratitude to you! With a king like you, why should I care about the power of heaven and not prosper?"
There was actually a bit of sobs in his voice.
Zong Shou immediately opened his mouth with a look of astonishment on his face. Until Ren Bo left, he still didn't understand what was going on.
Shaking his head, Zong Shou also stood up and walked to the back of the palace. On the corridor in the backyard, he saw a girl in white standing quietly under the moon, looking up at the sky.
Although there were guards around, no one came to take care of him.
Zong Shou frowned and thought that this posture of looking up at the stars was quite popular. But in this place, one should be able to hear what was said in the palace.
Fortunately, what he and Ren Bo were discussing today was not something urgent. However, it seemed that the guards here needed some discipline.
But he saw Kong Yao retracting his gaze from the sky and looking over. The look in his eyes was still deathly gray. But at this time, there was a bit of inexplicable color in his eyes.
"This is the Holy King——"
He murmured in a low voice, questioning himself, not believing, and feeling relieved, all kinds of emotions mixed together.
Then Kong Yao walked to the side room with a dazed look on his face. When he was about to leave, he turned around again and said: "There is a strange person hiding in Qiantian City. If you are interested, you can send someone to investigate. If you can With his help, great achievements may be expected——"
She didn't know why she said this. After saying it, she left in a daze.
Zong Shou was confused, but he was only slightly stunned and ignored it.
What kind of saint? What kind of strange person?
Could it be that Kong Yao was hit too hard and went a little crazy?
This is not good. What I want is a handsome man who can command thousands of troops, not a crazy woman. Zhao Yanran is enough for the lunatic. It seems that Xuanyuan Yiren and Xuan Yunlan still need to be together. Just go and console him.
Since I've snatched it away, it's not up to you.
Returning to his room, as Zong Shou thought, the flow of time around him began to slow down slightly.
And Zong Shou also made a move and took out the Zhouji Life Book.
At this time, he had opened the second page and spent several decades of his life.
However, the gains are not cheap. In addition to understanding some of the laws of phenomena at the basic level of time, I have already begun to try to master the magical power of accelerating time.
In the past, Zong Shou could unintentionally speed up time five times when the sword was drawn out, but he didn't know why.
But now, not only can he freely use the time increase speed to double or triple, but he also knows the principles and knows what he should do to achieve it.
But the more I study, the more confused I feel. How did the virtual illusion in the previous life achieve time acceleration?
He originally thought it was the result of accelerated thinking. But now the higher his cultivation level was and the more he understood the great ways of heaven and earth, the more impossible he felt.
However, this matter was just a side detail. What happened ten thousand years later had nothing to do with him, so he didn't bother to worry about it.
But today, Zong Shou chose to use Zhoushu to speed up time, but it was to learn swordsmanship.
The battle at Shangxiao Mountain gave him countless insights into the way of swordsmanship, and it took time to digest them.
Therefore, even though Zong Shou knew that this 'Book of Zhou' was a bottomless pit that swallowed gold, he did not hesitate to use it.
Just because what he lacks most now is time——
Just standing in the room, Zong Shou picked up his sword and stabbed him flatly, then took it back and stabbed again!
His movements were unremarkable, and he did not bring any inner breath energy. But every moment, the inner breath energy and even soul power, energy, and blood in Zong Shou's chakras were constantly surging, trying various methods.
Route and find the best way to draw the sword.
It was vaguely the sword that Void thrust out in front of Long Ying that day.
It’s the beginning of Yuan Yijian——
There is also a correspondence, Yang is the beginning and Yin is the end.
Yuan Yijian was supposed to have only one sword, and only one sword. But as time went by, Zong Shou had no choice but to use the Yin Sword, Yang Sword, Black Sword, and White Sword styles to develop their own sword styles.
.
The more I am immersed in this way, the more I realize how arrogant I am in trying to unite the swords of hundreds of schools of thought into one.
He is not only good at swordsmanship, but also the laws of heaven and earth!
It was already the forty-fifth day to use the Book of Zhou to speed up cultivation. In the previous twenty days, Zong Shou had been studying the second page of the Book of Life in Zhouji to consolidate his spiritual cultivation.
Twenty days later, Zong Shou was trying to integrate the meaning of Taichu into his own sword intention.
The progress was extremely fast, but it was still not as good as the sword he thrust out that day under the pressure of Shen Xiao and Long Ying.
At that time, I clearly felt that I could break through to the peak of the Sword Intention Soul Realm. I was only one step away from breaking through——
But at this moment, I have been practicing hard for more than twenty years, constantly perfecting and sculpting this sword style, but I still can't get in.
Sure enough, it's because his cultivation level is still too low?
Abandoning distracting thoughts, Zong Shou continued to improve his inner breath and breath circulation succinctly, and continued to visualize Taichu. With the sword in his hand, the sound of wind and thunder gradually sounded.
It wasn't until a few days later that he finally stopped. One day later, it would be his wedding to Xuanyuan Yiren.
