Chapter 229: The Rules of Heavenly Court
The surplus grain in the middle of the year is handed over to the heavenly court? Luo Qianqian had never heard of it, or even thought about it.
This sounds more like the government collects money from the people every year, which seems so cold-blooded and ruthless. But that's heaven! Heavenly Court stands tall above the clouds, it is a heavenly fairyland, how can you do such a down-to-earth thing?
Luo Qianqian looked stunned, thinking that Emperor Shu came this time to talk about helping Lingshan. However, for some reason, Emperor Shu actually brought up the issue of the mid-year balance.
Emperor Shu continued: "You are silent for a long time, it can be seen that you are still in the dark. Do you think that this spirit lord fell from the sky, and it happened to fall on your Luo Qianqian's head, which is a lucky thing? Do you think that if you dominate the Spirit Mountain and then fight the hostile forces, you can really sit on the throne of the Spirit Lord and sit back and relax? ”
Obedient Feng was wrong, Luo Qianqian was stunned, and staggered back two steps.
Emperor Shu came this time, not as simple as Luo Qianqian thought, but for another purpose.
Luo Qianqian said in her heart: I really think about the fairy world too simply, and I think about this ancient immortal cultivator too simple. Emperor Shu has something to say, there must be some purpose. No way! I must be up to the spirit, I can't let this thousand-year-old antique be bullied on a full moon night.
She straightened her back, held her chin high, strode forward, and came to Emperor Shu's side.
She was no longer afraid, but bravely looked directly at Emperor Shu, and said: "Emperor Shu came this time, the meaning is far-reaching, although I Luo Qianqian is still young, but my mind will never lose to adults." Since Heaven has chosen me to be the Spirit Master, I have also made an oath. If you want to make decisions for Lingshan, I won't break my word. ”
"Good!" Emperor Shu said, sat sideways on the chair next to him, and then waved his hand to Luo Qianqian, motioning for her to sit down. Then, his far-reaching voice echoed in the empty courtyard, and said, "You are still young, but you should not be underestimated, and Heavenly Court naturally has some reason for choosing you. Still, what should be said. If Heavenly Court doesn't say it, it doesn't mean that it doesn't. I am an elder in the fairy world. There are some things that I still have to make clear to you. Otherwise, even if I help you defeat Gu Dezhong, after that. You may not be able to secure the throne of the Spirit Lord. ”
"Please Emperor Shu speak up." Luo Qianqian said politely.
Emperor Shu said: "Spirit Lord." Please also your old ministers of internal affairs. Come with a book of your annual accounts, and take account of your annual accounts, and you will know what I am talking about. ”
"Good!" Luo Qianqian responded. Turning his head to the guard on the side, he said, "You go and find Gu Bing, let him come with the annual accounts, and say that I want to check the accounts." ”
The guards humbly responded, then turned and hurried away. After about a quarter of an hour, I saw Gu Bing and the guards hurrying over, Gu Bing was carrying a cloth bag in his hand, which seemed to be very heavy.
Seeing this, Luo Qianqian turned to Emperor Shu and said, "Emperor Shu, my courtiers are coming with accounts. Don't wait, I'll fill you with a glass of wine made from the spring water of the green mountains, and you will be my sister and I respect you. ”
Emperor Shu bowed his head and said nothing, without looking at Luo Qianqian.
Luo Qianqian held the wine glass, looking very embarrassed. The Shushan guards standing behind Emperor Shu pointed at Luo Qianqian and said: "Emperor Shu is unwilling to drink with people at will, especially you, this kind of superficial person, Emperor Shu is even more unwilling." I advise you, it's better to save it! ”
was scolded by the Shushan guards again, where can Luo Qianqian's face go. Before, it was just enough to be angry in Shushan, but now in her own territory, she has to suffer from this grandson's anger, Luo Qianqian naturally can't bear it.
She slapped the table and said, "What kind of dog is yelling here, we Lingshan are not subject to this." ”
The Shushan guard is obviously a bully who is afraid of the hard, he clearly bullied Luo Qianqian is a little girl, so he dares to be so pretending to be a tiger. Originally, Emperor Shu, who was silent and silent, never wanted to manage his courtiers. However, seeing Luo Qianqian's angry face today, she also planned to ease the atmosphere and prepared to say a few words.
Emperor Shu said: "The spirit lord is not strange, it is me who is negligent in discipline on weekdays. However, the spirit master must not scold people, after all, you are a woman, or a junior, and you are not suitable for such unreasonableness. ”
Luo Qianqian listened to Emperor Shu's words, and she was mostly biased towards the guards of Shu Mountain, but she couldn't offend Emperor Shu because of this. She said to herself: Forget it! Focus on the overall situation, just look at the face of Emperor Shu, and bear with it!
Luo Qianqian felt embarrassed, so she lowered her head and said nothing, and she really didn't know what to say. She could only swallow all the grievances into her stomach.
After half a quarter of effort, Gu Bing carried a big cloth bag and ran awkwardly in front of Luo Qianqian. He put down the bag and said respectfully: "Spirit Lord, the minister has arrived and brought the accounts that the Spirit Lord needs, all of which are here." ”
"Hmmm! Present it. Luo Qianqian said. She guessed that the intention of Emperor Shu's words was in this account.
She flipped through it carefully to check Lingshan's annual income and expenses.
After looking at the accounts for two years, she also came to a conclusion: Lingshan's annual income is all the property handed over by the people. A small part of the whereabouts of these belongings were deposited in the storehouse of the royal palace for the use of the officials of the capital city, and a large part was handed over to the heavenly court at the middle and end of the year.
Some of the items handed over to the Heavenly Court include: silk, cloth, utensils, gold and silver jewelry, musical instruments and other daily necessities. From time to time, he also handed over food such as tea, rice wine, and cakes to the heavenly court, as well as various spirit stones and weapons.
Luo Qianqian couldn't help but say, "Aren't the people of Heavenly Court all in the valley?" How can you still eat? Want rice wine and sweets? ”
"Huh!" Emperor Shu couldn't help but laugh, "Look at your sudden realization!" I ask you, why do you still set up a wine banquet here, prepare wine and cakes, and invite me to the banquet? ”
"You are the Emperor of Shu! I have a very high status in the fairy world, and I, who is new to the world, naturally want to feast on you. Luo Qianqian said.
Emperor Shu said: "The people of Heaven are the same as us, even much more leisurely than us, they have nothing to do all day long, so they naturally want to have fun." ”
"Huh?!" Luo Qianqian gave this account a headache. She patted her forehead and said, "I really thought wrong, I thought that immortals were sitting and meditating on immortals every day. They also do mortal things. ”
"Huh! The gods in the sky are no different from the gods on our earth, except that they live in the sky and we live on the earth. However, their power is greater than ours, and their treasures are greater than ours, so they will naturally be ruled by them. Emperor Shu said, his face was bitter.
"Emperor Shu, what do you mean?" Luo Qianqian felt that Emperor Shu had something to say.
Emperor Shu approached Luo Qianqian and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "If you promise me to help me dominate the immortal world and overthrow the heavenly court, I will answer your help in leveling Gu Dezhong." ”
Yes? Luo Qianqian was stunned, where could she have thought that the seemingly otherworldly Emperor Shu would have such ambitions. (To be continued.) )
