Chapter Forty-Six: The Return of the Plain

In the tenth year of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Great Zhou Emperor announced the opening of sea routes and encouraged voyages to the sea. At the same time, the Great Zhou Navy was established, which could accept the employment of seafaring ships. However, the maritime merchant tax was increased to fifty percent, but it could be exchanged for points for the nobility of the Great Zhou Dynasty according to the amount of tax paid. At the end of the year, the top 10 points will be invited to the palace by His Majesty the Emperor. Go to a royal banquet. The top 100 who pay the most taxes, are recruited by the imperial examination, and priority is given to children who are within the top 100 rankings. Today, the Holy One will personally inscribe plaques to merchants within the ranks. The unification is all four words: "the house of goodness". Officials have to salute when they see the plaque.

However, this point is graded once a year, and if you are not in the ranking in the second year, sorry, the plaque will be automatically withdrawn. However, within five years, the opportunity to be nominated for the imperial examination can be retained once.

The hearts of the maritime merchants who had just raised their opposition immediately turned into absolute support. Many large merchants who had money but no power, even if they did not rely on the sea for food, invested their money in the seafaring trade. You can't vote if you don't vote, this noble point is only open to the nautical industry. From ancient times to the present, they are rich and statusless businessmen, and they are all red-eyed. Regardless of the merchant's criterion, it is to be profitable, and there are some hidden rich families. It is better to lose money and exaggerate your trade quota to earn points.

It wasn't until a few years later that no one dared to discriminate against him in his status as a businessman. No official will be jealous of his wealth and use his power to seek wealth and kill him. This gradually subsided. However, several top-ranked merchants have been competing for the first position. It is only because the merchants who ranked first in the first year have received a pair of ink treasures that are rewarded by the saints today. This is the first pair of people to circulate. Even the current prime minister, that is, the queen's second brother Li Tianfang, failed to get one. As soon as the businessman in second place came home, he beat his chest vigorously and shouted vigorously: "It's 500,000 taels, it's 500 points." My "role model in the world" has left me. I knew this earlier, don't say 500,000 taels. I'll give you five million taels."

In the fifteenth year of the Great Zhou Dynasty, a green building in Yangzhou opened for business. Behind the boss there are seven proprietresses, all of whom are as beautiful as flowers. It's a pity that they are all proprietresses, otherwise how many ticket customers want to kiss Fangze. Just when the boss had just ripped off the red cloth that covered the plaque. Standing next to the Qinglou all the time, a middle-aged literati with an extraordinary bearing. After looking up at the name of the plaque, he stared at one of the proprietresses a few more times. turned around and left, and muttered as he left: "Mu Jianping, you'd rather be with a gangster in Yangzhou Kailichun Courtyard." I didn't want to accept me, I didn't expect it to be in this world. There are also things that I can't get...."

In the sixteenth year of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Great Zhou Emperor launched a war. Several small countries close to the Great Zhou were wiped out one after another. In the eighteenth year of the Great Zhou, the Great Zhou, which continued to conquer other small countries, launched a colonial war. The five-year war of extermination of the Japanese was fought until the eldest son of the Great Zhou Emperor succeeded to the throne. Only then did he completely subjugate the Japanese Kou Island, and let the Japanese become the slave soldiers of the Great Zhou. Blood was shed for the struggle for overseas colonies.

In the twentieth year of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Great Zhou Emperor issued a decree. Five-year compulsory education is enforced, but it is not the study of the Four Books and the Five Classics. It's about learning the math of things. And it is stipulated that after five years, after the imperial examination, the main subjects will be Gewu and mathematics. The scholars of the world have vigorously studied these two new disciplines.

In the twenty-third year of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Great Zhou Emperor abdicated. The eldest son, Wu Shifan, succeeded to the throne. Continue to continue the governance philosophy of the Emperor Taishang. Twenty years later, the banner of the Great Zhou Dynasty was almost all over the world. In the past 20 years, it has fought countless naval battles with Great Britain, the Netherlands, Portugal and other countries, and finally defeated these maritime powers with their own population and industry. Officially dominate the world.

In the 80th year of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Holy Ancestor Emperor Wu Yingxiong died. At the age of XXX (this author can't even figure out how old he should be.) At this time, the eldest son of the Holy Ancestor had died. The current emperor is already his eldest grandson. The emperor of the current dynasty established the next day as the day of national mourning. Since then, no marriage or celebration has been allowed on this day every year around the world. The state funeral lasted for three months. Since then, people in the world have also studied the deeds of the Holy Ancestor and found that many trends began with the Holy Ancestor. For example, most of the current officials are monogamous, starting from the Holy Ancestor. Due to the life of the Holy Ancestor, there was only one queen, and there were no other concubines. The later emperor also followed suit, and he was also an empress. His Majesty the current Emperor did not dare to compare with the Holy Emperor, and he only married one queen. In order not to make the emperor look unpleasant, various officials also follow suit. All of them are married to only one.

And the Holy Emperor only circulated three pairs of ink treasures in his life, which were also hyped up by later generations to sky-high prices. The rest of the Mobao are in the royal collection. It was not until three hundred years later that the museum was established. Ten pairs of original handwriting of the Holy Ancestor were hung out for future generations to enjoy. It immediately triggered a crowd of onlookers.......

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As if Nan Ke was in a dream, he slept at home for an hour. Chen Ao has lived in the film and television world for more than 100 years. In a hundred years, Chen Ao only practiced the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill to the eighth layer in the Luding World. The Arhat Mind Method has also been practiced to the peak. However, Na Shending could only bring back one-tenth, but this one-tenth also saved Chen Ao ten years of hard training time.

As soon as he teleported back, Chen Ao couldn't wait to meditate on his luck. Focused. The stored in the Nashen Ding, the internal strength of the Arhat and the dragon elephant were extracted. After closing his eyes for a long time, two breaths slowly flowed out from the dantian. A stream passed through the body meridians from the dantian, according to the route of the Arhat mind, like a trace of heat flowing. The other is extremely domineering and blends into the flesh and blood, if the Arhat mind is a sheep, then the dragon elephant is like a rhinoceros with crazy hair. All the way on a rampage.

The domineering behavior of being like a dragon elephant made Chen Ao suffer enough. At the beginning, it was a trace of integration, and Chen Ao still resisted. As time went on, Na Shending released the two exercises faster and faster. Chen Ao was forcibly integrated by the dragon elephant Panruogong, causing blood to ooze from his eyes, ears, mouth and nose, and a trace of black blood oozed from his body little by little. If it weren't for the fact that the Arhat Mind Method began to exude a gentle aura, it stabilized the flesh and blood inside the body. Chen Ao may have exploded and died.

After three hours, Chen Ao collapsed to the ground. And one lay down for a day, and the next morning. Chen Aocai got up in pain while **. After walking to the bathroom and washing off the blood stains all over his body. I started meditating again. Before I knew it, another 2 hours had passed, and then I exhaled and finished my work.

The physical body has been tempered by the dragon elephant prajna gong, and the impurities of the blood and muscles are expelled from the body. But the process is not very pleasant. However, at this level of pain, Chen Ao was already immune, but his luck and pranayama were good, and his strength suddenly increased dramatically. Then I opened the system as if nothing had happened.

An idea is given, and a 3D screen appears in front of me. Chen Ao swept the others at a glance, and then directly clicked on the body attribute interface: "Body strength: weak." Special exercises: the third layer of the dragon elephant prajna gong, (thirteen layers in total) internal martial arts: arhat heart method (slightly smaller) bloodline: low-level human race. Overall Evaluation: Weak (This evaluation is based on the standards of the Starry Sky Universe). ”

"Ma Dan, how can the overall evaluation be weak. With the Dragon Elephant Prajna Gong, my strength has at least tripled. I really don't know how this broken system is calculated, it's really. "Muttered about the system that had already tricked him a few times. Chen Ao's stomach immediately growled. Hurriedly brushed his teeth and washed his face, and walked out of the door just to rush with light work. As soon as the foot exerted force, he hurriedly stopped. Accustomed to using light work, I forgot for a while that I had returned to the real world and almost made a mistake.

Fortunately, there is a breakfast shop near his house. I bought meat buns and soy milk for 10 people in one go. I hurried home and began to chew on it. After eating breakfast, I only ate five points full. I had to cook another bowl of noodles by myself.

After finally filling himself up, Chen Ao began to cultivate at home again. I practiced for more than a month, and during that time, I just sent messages to a few familiar people. In addition to going out often to buy some Chinese medicine and food. Chen Ao basically stayed at home. Practicing is one reason, and more importantly, he has been in the Luding World for too long this time. Now I'm not used to the life of modern people, so I can only be an otaku for a while.

Now that a month has passed, Chen Ao still has the strength to increase his body's internal strength. It's all under control. He was still thinking about it, like a whim. Packed a few sets of clothes. After making a few phone calls to inform a friend. Throw away your backpack and drive the car. I started to travel everywhere.

All the way from south to north, Chen Ao, who had no goal, wandered around. Three months later, Chen Ao's car was almost scrapped. The reason is that I forgot to add engine oil. I had to put the car in the local area for repair, paid some storage fees, and said that I would come back to pick it up in a few months. Chen Ao took the train and began to travel again.

He called this purposeless wandering as experiencing all kinds of life. So I don't take a plane, I just go wherever I go. But don't say it, after three months of wandering. When Chen Ao just came back, the twilight in his eyes faded a lot. Finally regained the demeanor of some young people. Chen Ao, who went all the way north, wandered blindly for another month. came to a place that was both familiar and unfamiliar to him, the capital.
