Chapter 223: In Progress

After King Pingxi returned to the imperial capital, he quickly went to see the emperor and made a detailed report to the emperor about what he had seen and heard in Flame City during this time, as well as the things arranged by the emperor.

"Aiqing, this errand is very good, you can't be idle after you come back, you have to pick up the burden of logistics support. Now is the time to employ people, thank you for your hard work. "The emperor praised King Pingxi.

"Your Majesty, this is the duty of a courtier. King Pingxi hurriedly said.

When King Pingxi left, the emperor's face became solemn. The front is a daily report, it is not easy over there, the king of Zhennan is under a lot of pressure, but he commands properly, and he fights very tenaciously, the two sides are currently in a tug-of-war, and they don't take advantage of sleeping.

"Your Majesty, there is no problem with our supplies in the short term, the key is that it will inevitably be stretched out after a long time, which needs to be prepared in advance. Ye Zhengdao reminded.

"We can't increase taxes now, we have to stay stable. If not, increase taxes in Flame City, where it is relatively wealthy. ”

"Your Majesty, Flame City has already increased by five percent, wouldn't it be too heavy to raise it any further?

"I believe that the Zhao family can handle this matter well, and this is the only way to do it at present. The emperor shook his head, he was already aware of the credibility of the Zhao family in Flame City, and the people of Flame City believed in the Zhao family.

"Now we must maintain the stability of the empire, let the Zhao family try their best to maneuver first, it will definitely not work with the power of Flame City alone, and we will discuss the rest." The emperor told the king of Pingxi what he thought.

The day after King Pingxi left, Zhao Zhenduo and Xu Baichuan were sitting in the living room of the mansion discussing the matter.

"We will do our best in this matter, is there any good way to discuss with you now?" Zhao Zhenduo asked Xu Baichuan.

"Although there are many medicinal herbs in Qinghuang Mountain, it is not so easy to pick, and the biggest problem is transportation. It can't solve the transportation problem, and no amount of medicinal materials can be turned into treasures. Xu Baichuan said.

"Almost everyone in our Zhao family can make alchemy, plus this group of alchemists who have been trained, if they want to turn the medicinal materials of Qinghuang Mountain into treasures, they have to make a fuss about the pills. ”

"Do you have to make a fuss about this, how to do it?" Xu Baichuan now needs to solve these problems.

"It's a pity that Zhao Fei is not here, there should be a way to solve this problem if he is there. ”

"We can't rely on Zhao Fei for everything, we also have to be a little assertive. Xu Baichuan continued.

"If we raise taxes by another five percent, it will affect everybody. How much does a million troops spend every day? This is not something that we can solve in a single city of flames, so now there must be a way to solve this problem by raising revenues without raising taxes. This is the method that Zhao Zhenduo thought of.

"It's still Zhao Fei's trick, collecting medicine on the mountain, alchemy on the spot, and then sending it down the mountain. Xu Baichuan hurriedly said.

"That's right, the medicinal herbs in the depths are dense, and it's much easier to pick. But the depths are also full of dangers, which is not something ordinary people can do. The Qi Refining Realm is definitely not good, and the Refining Realm must be at least above the seventh or eighth order before they can go up, and they are not enough to protect themselves, and they must be protected by a master. ”

"Thirty alchemists refine twenty Transformation Realm Pills a day, and there are hundreds of them a day, plus the use of herb pickers, these pills are also a drop in the bucket. Zhao Zhenduo has already calculated this account.

"Once the medicinal herbs of Qinghuang Mountain are exhausted, Flame City will also be wasted. So everything we have to do around medicinal herbs, and this is the only way. Zhao Zhenduo's face became solemn when he said this.

"Don't expect the people, and don't expect tax increases, the only way is to find a way in Qinghuang Academy. Now there are more than 30,000 people, and if each person has the value of one pill per day, then this income is enough to temporarily support the war. ”

"Then how do you say you can do it?" Zhao Zhenduo was very puzzled.

"This has to be asked to Zhao Fei, Zhao Ming and them, we don't have the ability to solve this problem. Xu Baichuan shook his head with a wry smile.

After the old man Qingfeng came out of Yanshan, he didn't delay for a moment, he quickly walked into Qinghuang Mountain.

In the past few decades, he has been present in every war of the Blue Wolf Empire, and they are the key to the victory or defeat of the war.

The reason why he quickly entered Qinghuang Mountain was that he wanted to see the old man Pingtian and the others earlier.

"Don't worry, old man, they won't do it so early. Although those of us can influence the course of the war, we still rely on the strength of the country. For example, the Great Liang Kingdom is rich in resources, and if a few of us go in and plunder, how much can we take back? The army is the first element, and if they don't move, we won't move. The old man said with a smile.

"I don't understand this? A war is the power of the whole country. Except for Prince Yin, the eight kings of the Great Liang Kingdom are not good things. How have you been refining the elixir lately?" the old man Qingfeng changed the subject.

"I have accumulated a lot of Divine Realm Pills here, Zhao Ming hasn't come out yet, let him take them out when Zhao Ming comes out. ”

"I can guess some of Zhao Fei's plans and measures, now I need a lot of pills, let's go back and see how to refine them. ”

After Zhao Ming entered the mountain, he went directly to the Immortal Tree, and Qing Xuzi took hundreds of people to cultivate here.

"Senior, the war outside has begun, I want to take some people out, they need to ...... outside" Zhao Ming told Qing Xuzi in detail about the situation.

"There aren't many God Refining Realm masters here, most of them are Refining Earth Realm, and their progress is still very fast. Qing Xuzi also introduced the situation here to Zhao Ming.

"Lin Feng and Lin Hai have already entered the God Refining Realm, they have been in for too long, they should be let out. Zhao Ming was overjoyed when he heard this, these brothers were the sons of Lin Huai, the king of Zhennan, and Lin Xuejiao's younger brother. The two of them entered the God Refining Realm, which was a great help to Lin Huai.

"Zhao Wei has also entered the God Refining Realm, and a few of them are already at the ninth order of the Earth Refining Realm, or it won't be long before your Zhao family can have a few more God Refining Realms. Qingxuzi said with a smile.

"Well, that's good. Now is the time to employ people, and the more masters, the better. Zhao Ming was very happy, this was much better than he expected.

"I don't have time to go inside, it takes nearly two months to get in and out, there's a lot to do outside, I'll stay for a few days and leave. ”

"Zhao Ming, didn't you find a situation when you came in? The fog in the mountains is getting lighter and lighter, and it used to take more than 50 days to go back and forth to go inside, but now it has been shortened to more than a month. The fog here is getting thinner and thinner, and I feel that if it goes on like this, the fog will disappear completely. ”

"Senior, I noticed it, and I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing. Forget it, let's not study this matter at the moment, let's study who to take out......"

A few days later, Zhao Ming left the Immortal Tree, and he returned to the Great Waterfall with more than forty people. At this time, Old Man Qingfeng and Old Man Pingtian were still waiting for Zhao Ming here, and they had something to explain.

"After you go out, you have to prepare quickly, Zhao Fei will definitely make a big move when he comes back, everything is mainly about the front war. ”

"Grandpa, are you going out with us now?" Zhao Ming hurriedly asked Old Man Qingfeng.

"I won't go out for the time being, you bring these things back and give them to Zhao Fei when he comes back. Ping Tian and Old Man Qingfeng took out many boxes full of pills and handed them to Zhao Ming.

Others don't know what's in the box, but Zhao Ming knows. Old Man Pingtian and Old Man Qingfeng were only refining Divine Realm Pills now, and the value of the pills in this box was amazing.

"We still have a lot of things to do, so you don't have to worry about us, I'll go out when it's time to go. Just do what you have to do, don't stay long, and get back quickly. Zhao Ming nodded again and again after hearing this.

Ten days later, Zhao Ming took everyone back to Qinghuang Town, many people had not come out for several years, and they were excited when they saw Qinghuang Town for the first time.

Lin Feng and Lin Hai have also been in the mountains for a few years, and when they entered, they had just entered the Refining Land Realm, and now they had reached the initial stage of the Refining God Realm, and their gains in it were huge.

Zhao Ming handed over Lin Feng and Lin Hai to Zhao Chun, and asked her to take the brothers to see Lin Xuejiao, after all, they hadn't seen each other for a long time.

"Sister, we're back. When Lin Feng and Lin Hai saw Lin Xuejiao, their tears almost fell.

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back. Lin Xuejiao was also very happy.

"Brilliant, Rong'er, call your uncle. ”

"Uncle, uncle. Zhao Huanghuang and Zhao Rong'er called them in immature voices.

From the time they were born to the present, it was the first time that Lin Feng and Lin Hai had seen them, and they quickly picked up the two children and took them to play.

"Sister, Zhao Ming asked me to take the two of them back first, he came over after he had something to arrange, and he said that you should prepare dinner. Zhao Chun said to Lin Xuejiao with a smile.

"With so many excuses to come and eat, these guys are getting more and more treacherous. ”

"Hahahaha. Sister Xuejiao, it is estimated that there are not a few people who eat at night, so you should do more. Zhao Chun laughed out loud.

"How many people have entered the God Refining Realm this time?" Lin Xuejiao asked Lin Feng.

"Sister, there aren't many people. It's just the two of us and Zhao Wei, but there are more than a dozen people who have reached the critical point, and they only need an opportunity to enter the God Refining Realm. It's been too long inside, and Brother Zhao Ming said let them come out and break through. ”

"Hehe, if these dozen people can break through, it will be a big help. Lin Xuejiao is very happy, what is lacking outside now is a master.

"The rest are also the seventh and eighth orders of the Earth Refining Realm. Zhao Ming said that they were needed outside, so they were also loaned out. In the past few months, there have been no additional people to enter, and the people with low realms in our place are all at the third order of the refining realm, and their combat power is also very terrifying. Lin Feng told Lin Xuejiao about the situation inside.

"Okay, that's good, we'll discuss it carefully when Zhao Ming comes over in the evening. Lin Xuejiao had some plans in mind.

has lived with Zhao Fei for a long time, and she is familiar with some of Zhao Fei's thoughts and concepts. If Zhao Fei was at this time, how would he arrange it? Lin Xuejiao still understood Zhao Fei's mind to some extent, so she decided to talk to Zhao Ming and them at night, some things had to be arranged in advance.
