Nearly a million feet in the sky.

A Royal Airliner, flying at ten times the speed of sound, is speeding east.

In the luxurious first-class cabin, Zhou Ming, who was already full of silver hair, was still so sharp in his eyes, and his energy was much worse than before.

"I'm 65 years old, but I look like an 80-year-old man. ”

It's not that Zhou Ming doesn't know how to maintain health, and it's not because of excessive voice, it's purely because he works too hard.

In the past forty years, in order to build the country of ten thousand times, he has not had a good rest for a few days, and many crises and difficulties, if it were not for his brain spinning rapidly, it would not be easy to get through.

As the founder of the kingdom of ten thousand vehicles, no one has paid more than him.

So this caused him to age faster, causing him to no longer make progress in his cultivation, and causing him to live for a few more years at most.

Of course, Zhou Ming doesn't plan to live long, 70 years old is enough, and he has to get rid of this body as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, he smiled in his heart, "Speaking of death, no one can talk about death like me like me, right?"

Shook his head, this is normal, I have lived and died dozens of times, I used to feel that life was precious, and I acted carefully, but now I am not even afraid of death.

And his trip to Dongyuanzhou, if he accidentally plays with it, or makes a mistake in operation, maybe it will really be a trip to the death.

So, what exactly does he want to do this time?

Exorcism.

Get rid of Jiang Ruonan's female devil.

It's just that it's quite difficult.

Because Jiang Ruonan's cultivation was actually at the peak of the late stage of his devotion, he was infinitely close to the level of breaking through the Spirit Sage.

In the entire Dongyuan Continent, there are few ancestors who are her opponents.

And she also has a superb concealment aura and the ability to move stealthily, which is not only unguardable, but also wants to assassinate her, and the probability is 0.

Before Jiang Ruonan became a female devil, he could still live for decades under all kinds of pursuits, and it was impossible without a few brushes.

Zhou Ming planned to get rid of her.

This is quite difficult.

Once it fails......

"You still have to be careful, don't show flaws, strive for enough trust, and then succeed!"

……

Dong Yuan Zhou, Central.

In the middle of a majestic mountain range.

An incomparably large palace, standing tall.

The palace covers an area of more than 5,000 acres, with more than 100 floors and a height of more than 800 meters.

Looking down from the sky, the palace looks like three isosceles trapezoids superimposed on top of each other, divided into three layers, upper, middle and lower, from bottom to top, shrinking and shrinking in turn, like a pyramid.

The top-floor building, which is almost triangular, covers an area of more than 300 acres.

The palace is light red and is made of the strongest man-made materials, with more than 10 million tons of building materials such as yaojin, dark iron and high-adhesive cement, which can be called a "super project".

Escape the Palace of Elysium.

is the name of this palace.

It took eight years to build, millions of people were requisitioned, and more than 10 billion spirit coins were consumed.

And in order to build this palace, it took eight years to exhaust at least 100,000 people.

So much so that the faint red paint on the outer wall of the palace was privately called "the blood of the dead refugee".

"100,000 dead people, 100,000 broken families, in her eyes, 100,000, I'm afraid it's just a number, right?"

Zhou Ming sighed, he regarded human life as child's play, and exchanged human life for his own temporary happiness, I'm afraid only people like her can do it, right?

In addition to the Joy Palace, in recent years, he learned from intelligence that Jiang Ruonan ordered his subordinates to engage in a number of large-scale projects.

If you want to spend 10 billion yuan to build a thousand-story tower, stand on the top of the highest tower and watch the scenery of the world.

If you want to dig a large lake with a radius of 3,000 miles and row boats and raise fish in the lake, you will need to recruit about 100 million people.

He also gave an order for a "city in the sky" to the Yukong Passenger Aircraft Factory in Wancheng Country, requiring the Yukong Airliner built by the Passenger Aircraft Factory to be at least 1,000 zhang long, and to have a bedroom with a length and width of no less than 100 steps inside for her to rest.

As for the cost of this "castle in the sky", just quote a figure.

There are countless such projects, and sometimes Jiang Ruonan has a brain hole, and he will have one more project.

"With such extravagance, how can the money be spent?"

Zhou Ming muttered secretly, for this kind of behavior, there are only two words to evaluate: nonsense.

……

Inside the Palace of Elysium.

In a place similar to the wine pond meat forest, Zhou Ming met Jiang Ruonan.

At this time, she was dressed in a half-transparent tulle, and a beautiful woman was in her arms, and her clothes were disheveled.

After seeing Zhou Ming, she was slightly taken aback, "Zhang Shanhe, why are you old like this, you are like this, you are not far from old death, right?"

She shook her head again and again: "No, no, no, I have to find a way to let you live for a few more years, and serve me well, I have a pill prescription in my hand, called '100,000 Zengyang Pill', just use the blood and soul of 100,000 people as a medicine guide, and refine the Zengyang Pill, after eating it, you can live for another hundred years...... I ask you, do you want this Dan?"

"No need, if you want me to serve you for a hundred years, I'd better kill myself. ”

Zhou Ming waved his hand and refused directly.

"Hmph, I don't know how to lift, you old and ugly thing, think I want to either? If I was a few dozen years younger, I might think about it. ”

Jiang Ruonan glared at him, wanting to urge the Heart Devouring Gu and torture him, but he canceled this plan again...... Because it's useless.

"Master, a bad old man, what are you considering?

"Master, he's so old, do you think that thing under him is still useful?"

The two beautiful women in Jiang Ruonan's arms rolled their eyes, pointed at Zhou Ming and sneered.

"He's more useful than you!"

Jiang Ruonan smiled coldly, put his two hands on the heads of the two beautiful women, and suddenly inhaled, and in a frightened scream, the two beautiful women aged at a speed visible to the naked eye, and within dozens of seconds, they aged into an appearance older than Zhou Ming.

Full of gray hair and wrinkled face.

"Ahh

"I'm wrong, master, I'm wrong!"

Two women, one screaming frantically, the other kneeling and kowtowing.

“？？”

Zhou Ming was stunned by this scene, this ......

Shaking his head, the Adversary, the Adversary.

……

Inside a side hall.

Jiang Ruonan, who had changed into normal clothes, sat leisurely on the main seat and drank tea.

Zhou Ming, who was sitting next to him, held a thick stack of ledgers in his hand, lowered his head, flipped through the pages one by one, and frowned into a washboard.

After a long time, Zhou Ming stopped flipping through the pages, raised his head and asked, "You mean to say that there is not a single spirit coin in the treasury of your Xiaoyao Palace?"

Jiang Ruonan put down the teacup and nodded to him lightly.

What the hell are you kidding me?

Zhou Ming glared at her, "You said before that your Xiaoyao Palace has countless cities, destroyed nine major sects, plundered trillions of wealth, and enjoyed endless resources. ”

He asked, "Now, what about your trillions of wealth, what about your endless resources?"

"Ahem!"

Jiang Ruonan coughed twice in embarrassment, shook his head and said, "I don't know, it may be that the flowers are out." ”

"What did it go to?"

"Well, I repaired the palace, built the house, and got some interesting things, and then my subordinates told me that there was no money in the treasury. ”

"That won't be so fast! trillions of spirit coins, at least hundreds of projects must be carried out at the same time before it can be spent. ”

"Well, there seem to be more than 100 projects that I asked my subordinates to do. Jiang Ruonan thought for a while.

Zhou Ming turned his head to look at her, froze for a while, and shook his head: "It can't be spent so quickly, it takes one to several years to complete any project, not to approve a project, and spend all the money immediately, this is a trickle of water." ”

He guessed that there must be a group of rats among the officials in charge of managing the treasury in this Xiaoyao Palace, and they embezzled a considerable part of the money.

"I think so too, Zhang Shanhe, help me find out all those people and put them all to death!"

Jiang Ruonan said angrily: "Even dare to reach out for my money, are they tired of living?"

Zhou Ming said: "Internal corruption and embezzlement is only one of the reasons for the financial bankruptcy of Xiaoyao Palace, and the most fundamental reason is that there seems to be only expenditure and no income in your account books. ”

He put the account book in front of Jiang Ruonan and turned a few pages: "You see, in the income and expenditure records of the past few years, eight or nine out of ten are expenditures, and twelve out of ten are inputs, and most of them are the income from several mines in the mortal city, and there are no common agricultural taxes, commercial taxes, and factory taxes.

If you don't even have a tax system, no matter how much property you have in your treasury, sooner or later you will have to sit on a mountain of empty food.

"Taxes?"

This unfamiliar word made Jiang Ruonan's face full of embarrassment, and he was hesitant, those cities, populations and goods in the mortal world were not all private items that she appointed, once she was short of money and things, she would directly send someone to take it, and what kind of tax system would she have?

How much trouble is that?

"You-"

Seeing her expression, Zhou Ming, who knew that he had guessed, was completely speechless at the moment.

What kind of supreme ruler is this, it is clearly a strange thing that can be labeled as an "idiot" and govern the world like a family.

If she does this, it won't take many years for the entire Dongyuan Continent to be defeated by her.

"I can help you solve the financial problem, but I want you to give me enough rights. ”

"Yes, as long as you help me get the money back. Jiang Ruonan is very refreshing.

"Don't promise so quickly, if this matter is handed over to me, I will kill a lot of people, some of them will be your confidants, you think about it again. ”

"And kill at will, I have no henchmen and favors, only slaves, including you. Jiang Ruonan's white fingers pointed at him.

"Just agree. ”

Zhou Ming nodded, and had a rough plan in his heart.
