Lu Yao asked his father this question when she was the only one and the emperor were there.

Lu Yao said: "Father, you asked me to sort out these treasury, and I found that thirty percent of the annual income of our Yu Kingdom is missing. There are also mostly some mineral deposits, gold and jade, treasures, medicinal herbs, silk and other things. Who is so bold and dares to embezzle something from the treasury like this? ”

Emperor Longqing smiled slightly and said, "Yao'er, you are still young, and it is normal not to know about this matter." However, this matter is not known to ordinary people, only a few wealthy families, as well as the princes of the royal family, know about it. ”

"You know that our country of Yu is very large and produces a lot. There are seven neighboring countries around us, and some of them are good friends with us, such as your eldest sister and the second sister's married family. Some are enemies with us, such as the Tang Kingdom, the Shangshi Kingdom, and the Shuiyin Kingdom. You know why? ”

Lu Yao hurriedly asked, "The child doesn't know." ”

Emperor Longqing said: "Our countries are all managed by people. ”

Lu Yao was shocked and asked, "Do we still have someone to manage?" ”

Emperor Longqing nodded and said: "Our Yu State, as well as your eldest sister, the Chu State married by the second sister, and the Jin State all belong to the Shangqing faction. So our countries have always had a good relationship and intermarried with each other. If you are the eldest or the second, no matter how much I cherish you, I can't let you marry in your own country, you must marry in these two countries. Because this is the unwritten rule that the Shangqing faction has set for us. ”

"In my harem, there was originally a noble concubine who was the princess of the Chu Kingdom, and the earliest queen of me was the princess of the Jin Kingdom. Unfortunately, they died without leaving any children. My mother, Queen Innocence, is the princess of the Chu Kingdom. Therefore, I and Yao'er both have the blood of the royal family of Chu State. ”

"In addition to these countries, the Tang Kingdom and the Lin Kingdom belong to the Wanfa Sect. The Qi Kingdom, the Shangshi Kingdom, and the Shuiyin Kingdom are all true demon sects. So, these five countries, historically, have often been at war with our three countries. ”

Lu Yao was very surprised, it turned out that the country could be manipulated in the hands of gangs, and this gang was too powerful, right?

Emperor Longqing continued: "In our countries, no matter which faction they are, we must hand over 30% of our production to the faction to which we belong every year. In this way, these immortals can send a protector mage to help us suppress our luck and protect us. ”

Lu Yao was shocked again: "Immortals? Father, you say it's an immortal? Isn't it the Shangqing faction, the Wanfa faction, and the True Demon faction? Isn't it a gang? How is it a fairy? ”

Emperor Longqing smiled and said, "Yao'er, you are so smart, why are you confused?" What gang in the world can rule these empires? ”

Lu Yao thought, this is true, these gangs are not on the stage, even those underworlds in the previous life have always been suppressed by the government, and no gang has ever been able to manipulate national affairs.

Emperor Longqing said: "The Shangqing faction, the Wanfa faction, and the True Demon faction that I mentioned are all sects of immortals. They can all fly to the sky and live forever, and they are the masters of this side of the world. The royalty of our country is nothing but sent by them to govern these lands, these people. For example, the ancestor of our Lu family was an outer disciple of the Shangqing faction. ”

Lu Yao was dumbfounded, what kind of world is this, there are immortals, they can still fly to the sky, they can live forever, and even their ancestors are a cultivator.

originally thought that it would be a palace fighting drama after crossing over, and he had already made sufficient preparations, Lu Yao felt that with his experience in his previous life and his super analysis and management skills, he would definitely be able to deal with these ancients, and he would definitely be able to mix smoothly and live a chic life. But who knows, this is actually a world of cultivation, how can this be played?

Lu Yao's brain was no longer enough, but Emperor Longqing didn't notice his daughter's abnormality, he continued: "We are a vassal state of the Shangqing faction. The Shangqing faction guards our safety, and we also have to take on some tasks every day. Among them, the most important ones are two, one is that 30% of the annual income should be contributed to the sect. One is that every ten years, the sect will send people to the entire empire to search for young people under the age of twenty, who have spiritual roots, and who can cultivate immortals, or children, to be included in the sect. ”

Lu Yao understood this, she perked up, and hurriedly asked, "Father, are there many people who are selected every year?" "You must know that there are hundreds of millions of people in the entire Yu country. With such a large population base, it is possible to have as many talents as possible.

However, Emperor Longqing said: "Very few, sometimes, there is not one in ten years, and in good times, there may be more than a dozen." ”

Lu Yao was stunned for a moment, how could there be so little, hundreds of millions of people, only a dozen? Or is it more than that? So that's a 1 in 10,000 chance?

Lu Yao asked, "Are there many people from the Shangqing faction?" There are only a dozen people every ten years, and sometimes no one is selected, so how many people can there be in their sect? ”

Emperor Longqing smiled and said, "The continent where we are located is called Tianlan Continent, and there are five factions and ten thousand countries on the Tianlan Continent, and our Yu Kingdom is just a small country among them. Those big empires are a hundred times the size of our Yu country. The natural population is a little larger. They also produce more talent. If the Shangqing faction only relied on our Yu country, wouldn't it be going to destroy the faction? ”

Lu Yao felt that his brain was about to crash again. This country of Yu is thousands of miles in circumference, which is already very large, how can such a country be a small country. Such a country, there are tens of thousands of deposits on this continent. There are also some countries, big countries, that are a hundred times the size of Yu countries, how big is that? Isn't it a million miles? Isn't that one country bigger than the earth in the previous life?

With such a continent, how big is the Tianlan Continent? Isn't it a hundred times larger than the earth in the previous life, if not more? Moreover, listening to the tone of the father, such a continent should not be one, so how big is this planet?

Lu Yao asked: "Father, hearing you say this, our Tianlan Continent is not the only continent?" ”

Emperor Longqing said: "Yes, there are three continents in our world, one is the Tianlan Continent, which is mainly inhabited by the human race. There are also some demons and demons, and there are fewer ghosts. There are two other continents, one is the Demon Continent, as the name suggests, it is the continent where the demons are mainly inhabited, and it is said that the area is larger than our Tianlan Continent. On that continent, there are also many Terrans, but the Terrans are only less powerful. ”

"The smallest is the Yin Wind Continent. It was the abode of the aristocracy. The human race and the demon race are all slaved status. ”

"In addition to these three continents, there are also huge oceans. These oceans separate the three continents, and it is basically impossible for the immortals of those sects to travel back and forth between the three continents. Because there are many fierce sea beasts in the ocean. ”

Oh my God, and demons? As soon as he heard this term, Lu Yao's mind unconsciously remembered the opening and ending songs in "Journey to the West" in his previous life. Where is this? There are also immortals, and demons, by the way, there are ghosts, sea beasts, what kind of crazy world is this?

Emperor Longqing found out at this time that his daughter was very shocked.

Emperor Longqing smiled and said: "Yao'er, in the past few months, you have helped your father to preside over the government, and you have always been very mature and wise, I really think that you are simply a genius, there is nothing in this world that you don't know, there is nothing you don't understand, and there is nothing that can be difficult for you." I thought, why are you a princess? If only I were a prince, someone would inherit my country. But you're just a princess. Ay. What I didn't expect was that you were so shocked by the things of gods and demons, well, but, yes, ordinary people, at first hearing, it is inevitable that they will react like this, I originally thought that you would be different. ”

Lu Yao shouted in his heart, can I be like you? You are a native of this world. But I'm not, I'm from that atheistic world, I grew up under the red flag, listened to the party's education, broke feudal superstitions, where did I think that when I came to this world, there were gods, there were cultivators, there were demons and monsters, oh my God, I didn't collapse and I was already determined, right?

Emperor Longqing said: "Actually, I am not satisfied with the empress and the two princes born to the empress, and their qualifications are not good. The Ling family has been too arrogant in recent years, and I don't want the crown prince to succeed to the throne. However, other princes have no talent. However, when I was in a difficult situation, the qualifications you showed were very appreciative to me. ”

"I only discovered at this time that your younger brother Lu Yuan, at a young age, showed extraordinary qualifications. I thought, I'm still middle-aged, enough to wait until your brother grows up. In the future, I want your brother to be the crown prince and inherit the Yu kingdom in the future, and at that time, you can help your brother to manage the government. In this way, I will be relieved. ”

It turned out that the emperor had such a thought in his heart. Lu Yao was actually not surprised at all. Because of this period of time, Lu Yao realized how annoying and hateful the Ling family was, even the emperor hated it, and through the contact between Guò and the prince's brother, she found that the prince born to the queen was really a fool, and if the country was handed over to him, it would be strange if the country would not die.

It's good that the father has such thoughts, but Lu Yao has already regained her composure, and she hurriedly said: "Father, the child, and the child's mother and younger brother, are all people who have no ambitions. In the future, my father will give my younger brother a fief, and we will manage the fief well. We won't compete with the queen and the prince's brother for the throne. Father, the crown prince is the prince of a country, and the easy prince is a major event that shakes the country's foundation, I hope my father will not mention it again. ”

Emperor Longqing smiled and said, "You, you're too smart. If you don't tell the truth to your father, don't you know the danger of the Ling family? Don't you know that your prince's brother is a fool? Okay, here is our father and daughter, let's talk for a while. ”
