Chapter 966: Founding and Liberation
"Doesn't the chairman know that either? I thought if you knew, you could explain it to me! I just accidentally turned to a book in my study when I was a child, and there was a book with the same words as it, although I was still young and ignorant and greedy and didn't care what the words on it meant, but I wrote down its shape, and there would be no mistake that it looked like this. Qu Zong explained.
"You said that this book was found from those treasures of the Blue Heaven Holy Cloth Sect, so are there any other similar books? For example, covers of different colors? Supreme Treasure continued to ask.
Qu Zong replied puzzledly: "I definitely don't have it, these people of the Qingtian Holy Clothes Sect pretend to be very noble on the surface, but in fact they are all dirt buns who only recognize money, in all the places where they hide treasures, except for this book found in this place in Henan City, the other places are just ordinary gold and silver jewelry and nothing special." I have placed all the belongings I have found in a secret place, and I will tell the Chairman of the place when the time comes. ”
Supreme Treasure was a little disappointed when he heard that this Seventy-Three Witch Sutra was the only book among all the treasures of the Qingtian Holy Clothes Sect, but he still said to Qu Zong without giving up: "Mr. Qu's book must be a very important thing for the Qingtian Holy Clothes Sect, otherwise you don't think they would put this book together with the treasures, you also said that there are not only gold and silver treasures but also gold and silver treasures, how can you put a separate book like this?" What exactly does the above text mean, and what is the relationship between it and this Qingtian Holy Clothes Sect, these are all worth exploring. ”
The Supreme Treasure woke up the dreamer with a word, "Chairman, you are right, why did they put this book that they couldn't read, why didn't I think at the time, I will take you to the place where the treasure is buried now." ”
So Qu Zong took the Supreme Treasure and the others to the basement of a dilapidated room on the outskirts of Henan City, where he had just looked for the treasure. If it weren't for Qu Zong leading the way in front, the Supreme Treasure would really not have been able to find such a secret place, and they wouldn't have thought that there was actually a basement hidden under this place, and there were so many treasures hidden in the basement.
"Where did this Qingtian Holy Clothes Sect loot so many treasures, and the gold and silver treasures here are estimated to be much more than the treasures in the Jingzhou Imperial City that we confiscated from the Empress Dowager of Southern Chu last time and transported to Xiang Yuna." Zheng Ze sighed when he saw the treasures all over the ground.
"These are the people's fat and people's ointment that they scraped off the people's bodies, and they are all some ill-gotten gains. How many people have paid for their life's labor, thinking that by joining this Qingtian Holy Clothes Sect, they can become immortals and get rid of the suffering of the mortal world, but the result is just a game and a dream, and in the end, the dream is shattered, there is nothing, and these people are still the victims! Supreme Treasure said sadly.
"Chairman, I beg you for one thing."
"Mr. Qu said it doesn't matter, if it's a good suggestion, I will definitely take it."
"Chairman, I believe you know that it is easy to fight the country and it is not easy to defend the country. These people who have suffered so much are people who hope to live a good life under your leadership, President. They don't want to be deceived like they used to be, and they are the ones who will be hurt in the end. Such a cult cannot reappear, and every time it appears, it will be a great blow to the common people. I hope that in the future, there will be no more sectarianism in the republic, and that the people will have a peaceful and prosperous world. Qu Zong pleaded.
After hearing this, Supreme Treasure shook his head helplessly, "Mr. Qu, the cult is certainly very hateful, but the personal beliefs of the people are something we can't deprive, and we don't have the ability to influence their thoughts, if we can, it will be the same as the situation under the rule of Nan Chu and Xiang Yu before." This can only lead the people towards correct values, but it cannot inhibit them from emancipating their minds. This will only end up worse than the previous one. I don't know if you can understand Mr. Qu, in short, this is the truth, and I'm afraid I can't listen to your opinion. However, I promise you that as long as such a bad seedling appears in the republic, I will definitely curb it as soon as possible and prevent it from harming others. ”
Qu Zong seemed to understand the meaning of the Supreme Treasure, nodded and saluted him: "The Chairman of the Supreme Treasure is indeed worthy of his reputation, listening to your words is better than reading for ten years, and I will have to ask the chairman for advice in the future." ”
"If Mr. Qu is a loyal servant and can contribute to our republic, I would welcome it very much. In the future, I will also have a lot of things to ask you about governing the country, sir! ”
After the two of them exchanged polite words, the Supreme Treasure personally counted the treasures in this treasure place, and found that there was nothing special except for the Seventy-Three Witch Sutras, there were indeed only some gold and silver treasures and other belongings, in the eyes of the Supreme Treasure, he saw much more gold during this period of time than he had seen more than the sum of the previous twenty years, so he had already had visual fatigue, and he was not as excited as before.
After the counting, this amount still made the Supreme Treasure feel very amazing, a total of 100,000 taels of gold, 300,000 taels of silver, and the remaining gems such as agate silk and satin are countless. These things, as Qu Zong said, all the cult property that he had collected in other places were put into the treasury first according to the order of the Supreme Treasure, and then slowly returned to the people to bring them benefits.
The Supreme Treasure was slightly disappointed that he didn't find a clue about the Seventy-Three Witch Sutras, but it doesn't matter if this book is put up, maybe it will be useful in the future, now looking at the world, the entire Southern Chu has now been liberated. The time of the republic had come, and he was the first president of the republic, which made him feel extremely proud.
Back in Henan City, Han Xin and others were still cleaning the battlefield with the soldiers, Yuan Xiaohua and Huan'er were each holding their children and wiping the sweat from their foreheads for their husbands, and at this moment Supreme Treasure once again felt lonely. After he came back, he had already learned from Han Xin's mouth that he and Tao Kan had already had their own children, and it was very appropriate to name the children "Founding of the People's Republic" and "Liberation", which made Supreme Treasure feel quite surprised, this was the most popular name in the Celestial Empire in the sixties and seventies, and it would not be copied in the Republic!
At this time, the Khitan army in the north of Henan City knew that Xiang Yu was dead, and the soldiers had surrendered, and there was no point in holding on any longer, so Ming Jin collected his troops and went back to restore his life.
The liberation of the whole territory of the Republic does not mean that the wish of the Supreme Treasure has been fulfilled, and the day after he led the People's Liberation Army into Henan City, he received letters from the Khitan, Mongolia and Western Xia, and the time has come to pull out the fangs of the Khitan in the Central Plains!
