In the palace, many maids looked pretty and dressed very simply. Some of the maids were sitting outside the royal dining room picking vegetables. When Qin Mu saw this, he thought he had entered a vegetable market.
Obviously the Yankang Kingdom was very wealthy. The Yankang Imperial Master opened two smooth roads to connect the Western and Central Territories, linking the Western Territory and Yankang, and commerce and trade developed. Qin Mu also saw that the imperial court was building bridges and paving roads, and the people were prosperous. However, the emperor and the palace
But he was poor.
It should be that the war in Taihuangtian affected the national treasury, leaving it empty.
The war in Taihuangtian is a bottomless pit. There is no economy at all. To fight the war, it depends entirely on Yankang as the rear area to provide Taihuangtian with all kinds of military supplies, food, grass, and spiritual soldiers.
Moreover, the Li people from Taihuangtian are also constantly migrating to Yankang. To settle these people, the state treasury also needs to pay for and provide food, which is also a huge expense.
No wonder Emperor Yanfeng was overjoyed and lost his bearings when he saw that he could make a fortune by forming an alliance with the remaining Chiming tribe.
Not long after, Yan Zhigui came and said: "Your Majesty, the envoy has been accommodated. I would like to ask Your Majesty how to negotiate with the Chiming envoy?"
Emperor Yanfeng handed the list made by Qin Mu to Yan Zhigui and said: "According to the conditions on this list, I will grant the rest of Chiming a place to live, a commercial port, transportation, buildings, ships, and carriages, everything you need.
"
Yan Zhigui looked at the list and was startled. He glanced at Qin Mu and said tremblingly: "Master Qin, is this list a joke?"
Qin Mu said: "It's not a joke. Chixi will also agree. These magical weapons are actually of little use to the rest of the Chiming tribe. They don't have so many people to use these things. Master Yan just remember one thing, it's their request
For us, it’s not that we ask for anything from them. Also, we have to get the Divine Wheel of Creation no matter what!”
Yan Zhigui left in a hurry.
Emperor Yanfeng said with emotion: "Taihuangtian has been receiving battle reports some time ago. It makes my blood boil and I am frightened. I wish I could go to the front line to kill the enemy in person. The imperial master compiled Taihuangtian's cultivation method, and I have been studying it for a long time.
I have gained a lot, but I can’t help but feel a little regretful that I can’t go to battle in person.”
Just as he was talking, a surprised voice came: "The cowherd!"
Qin Mu looked at the sound and said in surprise: "Sister Xiu, why did you come back from Taihuang Heaven?"
Ling Yuxiu rushed towards this side, and when she saw Emperor Yanfeng standing next to Qin Mu, she quickly slowed down her steps, with a serious look on her face and a dignified demeanor as she walked towards him.
Emperor Yanfeng smiled and said: "There has been no war in Tai Huang Tian recently, so Xiu'er has come back. I still have some affairs to deal with, so I will take a step first."
He slowly walked away, looking back from time to time. Qin Mu and Ling Yuxiu were standing there without acting too much, so he left with peace of mind.
Ling Yuxiu caught a glimpse of him leaving, immediately grabbed Qin Mu's hand and walked forward, smiling: "After my father became a god, he became more majestic, but he was a little sneaky, and he was mostly hiding in the dark to observe us. We
Go to the Royal Garden and leave him alone!"
Qin Mu was pulled by him and staggered forward. He turned a few corners and passed through several corridors in the air. In front of him, he met several concubines who were playing together. Ling Yuxiu quickly let go of Qin Mu's hand.
, with a dignified manner, greeted the concubines politely, waited until the concubines left, then took Qin Mu's hand and continued to run forward happily.
After running a few more steps, she encountered many palace maids approaching the Queen Empress. Ling Yuxiu was startled, and quickly restored her image as a serious princess, saluting the Queen: "Mother."
The empress pulled her over, muttered for a while, then looked Qin Mu up and down, and said with a smile: "Master Qin is getting taller and more handsome."
Qin Mu felt that there was something wrong with the way she looked at him. It was like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, standing aside with a blushing face.
The queen walked away, and Ling Yuxiu pulled him forward again, and finally came to the imperial garden. Then she giggled: "It's really uncomfortable in the palace. I'm always bound by all kinds of etiquette and can't let go of my nature.
.It’s better to be in the world and be as happy as you want.”
Qin Mu followed her and looked around. There were many beautiful flowers and plants, but there were also some vegetable fields. Many palace maids were watering the vegetables and catching insects. It must be that the palace had no money, so they had to grow their own vegetables.
"Xiumei, has the Fragrant Saint returned to Yankang?" Qin Mu asked suddenly while admiring the scenery.
Ling Yuxiu was angry: "We haven't seen each other for a long time. Instead of being affectionate to each other, you asked her? How much do you miss her?"
Qin Mu said quickly: "I have business to see her, not because I miss her!"
"Back! The fragrant fairy came back with me!" Ling Yuxiu walked forward angrily.
Qin Mu quickly followed her, and the two came to a flower tree. The flowers were in full bloom and the tree was not high. Qin Mu held a flower branch and leaned down to smell the fragrance of the flowers, with a smile on his face.
He activated the Three Yuan Shen Hui Jue, and when the tip of his nose was about to touch the flower petals, the Yuan Shen had already left the body.
Ling Yuxiu saw his profile, which was delicate and handsome. She felt that the fragrance of flowers was a little intoxicating at this moment, and her heartbeat accelerated, her face flushed, and her breathing became a little short.
On the other side, Si Yunxiang suddenly felt something in her heart and hurriedly activated the Three Yuan Shen Gathering Technique. The Yuan Shen left the body and saw Qin Mu's Yuan Shen flying over.
"Holy Maid of Fragrance, Princess Xiu and I are in the imperial garden. The matter is urgent. I'll speak quickly."
Qin Mu Yuan Shen's thoughts fluctuated and he said: "The Yankang treasury is empty, does the Holy Religion still have money?"
Si Yunxiang smiled and said: "You and Yuxiu Xiaolangtu were having a tryst in the imperial garden, but you came to have a private meeting with your little lover. It is really the style of the demon leader! The holy sect is rich, and it is not a problem to buy half of Yankang. My holy sage
The religious industry is spread all over the world, and churches are blooming all over the land. Whether it is the exchanges between China and the West or the mining of mines and the forging of spiritual soldiers, the Holy Cult is involved, so there is an endless stream of money."
Qin Mu thought for a while and said: "The Holy Cult will keep the money for daily expenses, and the other money will be donated to the emperor, and the emperor will use it for the national treasury."
Si Yunxiang immediately objected: "No! These are the money earned by the brothers and sisters of the holy sect, so why should they be given to the emperor for no reason?"
Qin Mu patiently said: "Business also has a way. The Holy Religion was not founded for the purpose of doing business, but for the daily needs of the people and to make the people live a better life. The Holy Religion was engaged in business to facilitate the people, not to make money. What you earn
The money is Dafeng coin, the currency of Yankang. Yankang country no longer exists, so Dafeng coin will be of no use. Now that the holy religion has gathered half of the world's wealth, I think disaster is not far away."
Si Yunxiang was still reluctant to give up: "Obviously it's all hard-earned money..."
Qin Mu said: "Cultural farming can make you rich, but it can also cause disaster. You can do it if it is beneficial to the people, but not if it is harmful to the people. The Tiansheng Sect is not so big that it can override the common people or the country. It is not so big that it can't be done.
To the point of collapse! The original intention of Tiansheng Sect in establishing the religion is the way of the saints, not to seek wealth in the world."
Si Yunxiang was still a little unwilling. Suddenly, an old woman came towards the two souls, looked up at them, and said: "Xiang'er, the Holy Master is right, what we take from the people should be used for the people. Our company
The family manages the finances and is in charge of the Holy Religion's wealth, but the Holy Religion's wealth is still decided by the leader. You have become obsessed with money and have forgotten the original intention of the Tiansheng Religion."
Qin Mu said quickly: "I have met Grandma Si's ancestor!"
The old woman hurriedly returned the gift and said with a grin: "Holy Master, Xiang'er is greedy for some petty gains, but she is not a stingy person."
Qin Mu thanked him and said, "So this is the Si family. I broke in rashly and alarmed my grandma. I apologize. I'm still in the imperial garden and must go back as soon as possible." After that, he bowed and the soul disappeared.
Si Yunxiang also took back her soul and returned to her true body, saying, "Why did Grandma give the wealth of the Holy Religion to the emperor?"
Grandma Si Jiazu smiled and said: "The leader is right. When the people are rich and the country is weak, it is not the people who are rich, but a few powerful people. When invaded by foreign countries, the country is destroyed, and the people's wealth will no longer exist. All wealth will be lost."
The best way is to make the people rich and the country strong. If the country is undefeated, the people will be rich for a long time."
In the imperial garden, Qin Mu's soul returned to its true form, only to see Ling Yuxiu opposite him bending down and sniffing the fragrance of flowers with her eyes closed. There was only a flower between them.
Ling Yuxiu secretly opened her eyes, only to see Qin Mu staring at her, and her pretty face turned red.
Qin Mu let go of the flower branch and kissed her gently on the lips. Ling Yuxiu screamed, ran away, parted the flowers and flew away from the willows. The voice came from far away: "You are acting like a gangster, my father will definitely kill you if he finds out."
head!"
Qin Mu laughed loudly and followed him.
Behind the willow tree in the distance, Emperor Yanfeng looked gloomily and said to the little eunuch behind him: "Bring me my pamphlet!"
The little eunuch hurriedly presented the pamphlet and pen and ink. Emperor Yanfeng opened the pamphlet and wrote: "If you disrespect my precious daughter, I will kill your head. Let me record the account first!"
"Your Majesty, there is something wrong with us spying here, isn't it?" the little eunuch said cautiously.
Emperor Yanfeng glared at him: "I want to kill your head. If I don't kill you now, I will write it down first."
The little eunuch curled his lips: "Your Majesty, you have killed this villain's head more than a dozen times."
Qin Mu caught up with Ling Yuxiu, and the boy and girl played for a while, but they felt comfortable. They felt that their feelings were getting stronger. When they were about to do something, the first ancestor Human Emperor came looking for her. Ling Yuxiu saw this and quickly retreated.
"She's not a bad girl." The first ancestor, Human Emperor, said.
Qin Mu was startled: "You have seen it all."
"The emperor also saw it, it's over there."
The First Ancestor Human Emperor pointed to the bushes in the distance and said: "He has been following you for a long time. The Queen is over there, hiding behind the rockery. I just looked at them, but they didn't notice."
Cold sweat broke out on Qin Mu's forehead. He looked towards the bushes and saw the emperor carrying the dragon robe and running away with the young eunuch. Behind the rockery on the other side, the empress and the maids left in a hurry.
The First Ancestor Human Emperor looked at Qin Mu's embarrassment and said with a smile: "You, like me, are hands-off shopkeepers and don't do everything personally. Now that the negotiation with Chixi has been handed over to the emperor, it's time for us to talk about business. You have to learn from
My seal of heaven and earth? You have also seen how powerful my seal of heaven and earth is, but I have never been able to find a successor. Only you can inherit my seal..."
"First Ancestor, it's not that I don't want to learn, it's just that you and I have different moods."
Qin Mu said seriously: "I don't have your experience, so I can't learn your seal technique."
The first ancestor was stunned, as if he had suddenly suffered a huge blow. He suddenly became depressed, dejected, and looked much older.
Qin Mu couldn't bear it and said: "How about you pass it on to me first? If I can learn it, I will learn it. If I can't, I will help you find a successor."
The First Ancestor turned his sorrow into joy and said with a smile: "Since you are a hegemonic body, you will definitely be able to learn it! My technique is called the Holy Art of the Heart of Heaven and Earth. I am the heart of heaven and earth. I stand between the crumbling heaven and earth. It is the power of the sky and the earth.
Unyielding, the power of the sky and earth shattering turned into my seal of heaven and earth!"
He passed down his skills and seals to Qin Mu in detail, and Qin Mu studied, memorized, and understood with all his heart. The skills and seals of the first ancestor Renhuang were indeed unparalleled, inferior to the Sutra of the Undisciplined Heavenly King, and
, which contains various knowledge and insights from the Kaihuang era.
However, this kind of magical power has a strong imprint of the times. Qin Mu studied it but couldn't figure it out.
The First Ancestor Human Emperor was full of expectations, waiting for him to display his seal. However, he saw that after Qin Mu learned his seal, he continued to study the rune imprints on the Divine Wheel of Creation, trying to combine the runes to display the magical power of creation.
Qin Mu flew out with a random seal, and a little palace maid who walked by them screamed, which turned into a Mianyang bleating.
Qin Mu was surprised and happy: "It's done! It's done!"
The first ancestor, the Human Emperor, was devastated. Qin Mu caught the little sheep running all over the ground and reversed the seal. The little sheep turned into a palace maid again and left in panic.
Qin Mu caught a glimpse of his face and said with a smile: "First Ancestor, I have told you that I am not in a harmonious state of mind. I do not have your state of mind and cannot use your seals."
The First Ancestor Human Emperor shook his head, turned and left, with a desolate look on his face: "You haven't tried it, how do you know it won't work? I thought you, like me, were orphans of the Qin family, abandoned in this world..."
Boom——
Suddenly there was a violent tremor behind him. The First Ancestor turned around and saw Qin Mu standing alone in a toppled world, fighting against the impending disaster alone.
The first ancestor was stunned, showing a hint of expectation.
"There is no seal technique that Ba Ti cannot learn." Qin Mu felt sad with one hand for the sky and the other for the earth.
