Chapter 35: Treasury Mission, Accomplished
"Those who descend live, and those who do not descend will be killed!"
At this time, Chen Xiu, the Bright Left Envoy of the Sun Moon God Sect, took the opportunity to shout.
All the disciples of the Tibetan Sword Villa looked depressed and lost their fighting spirit.
They fell to their knees in large swaths and surrendered to the Sun and Moon Cult.
The Eastern Sect Master watched all this, and then that indifferent voice also spread in this square, "From today on, everything in the Hidden Sword Mountain Villa belongs to my Sun Moon God Sect!"
There is no doubt that from now on, the famous and decent Tibetan Sword Villa, which has been crisscrossing the Jiangnan martial arts for hundreds of years, has been declared extinct!
......
Palace.
The Imperial Study.
Zhao Lin had already received the news that the Dongfang Sect Master had sent back through the East Factory.
Even if he is as calm as Zhao Lin, he is a little happy at this time.
In just half a month, the Eastern Sect Leader led the Sun and Moon God Sect and had pacified the three major martial arts sects of the Nine Shadows Sect, the Giant Whale Gang and the Hidden Sword Villa.
Cao Zhengchun's East Factory did not provide much help to the Sun and Moon God Sect.
Even so, the Eastern Sect Master still conquered the three major sects for Zhao Lin.
Today, the foundation of these three major sects is basically inherited by the Sun and Moon God Sect.
The Sun and Moon Divine Sect is gaining momentum in the Jiangnan martial arts, like the sky.
has already controlled most of the Jiangnan martial arts.
Only one Qinghu Island remains, struggling to hold on.
In Zhao Lin's opinion, the remaining half a month was enough for the Eastern Sect Master to destroy Qinghu Island.
The entire Jiangnan Wulin Xian is under the control of the imperial court, which seems to be predictable.
"Your Majesty, the head of the household is still asking to see you. ”
At this moment, suddenly, the voice of the little eunuch came from outside the door.
"Xuan!"
Zhao Lin put down the note in his hand, his eyes moving slightly.
Tobe Shangshu asked to see him, it must be for the sake of the national debt.
"Your Majesty, a happy event, a great happy event!"
Hubu Shangshu had just entered the door, and Zhao Lin had already heard his voice of surprise.
"What is so joyful?"
Zhao Lin shook his head with a smile, looking at the Hubu Shangshu who was as happy as a child, "But the matter of the national debt, has it settled?"
"It's not just that there is a fall. ”
Hubu Shangshu's eyebrows danced, and he looked like he was dead in the court two days ago, and he was like two people.
"The 20 million taels of treasury bonds issued by the household department were snapped up in just two days, and now Weichen has asked the household department to add 30 million taels of treasury bonds, according to this momentum, at most, these 30 million taels of treasury bonds can be sold in seven days. ”
Tobe Shangshu is in a good mood.
The national debt was finally issued.
A boulder in his heart fell to the ground.
What's more, I finally don't have to lose my head.
"Not bad. ”
Zhao Lin nodded, the treasury bonds of 20 million taels of silver were sold out in two days, and he still underestimated the pockets of those rich businessmen.
Or strictly speaking.
It was he who underestimated the desire of these businessmen for the imperial examination.
The desire to be a leader.
Even if the merchants are rich and rich, they are inferior after all, and if they want to become masters, they can only pass the imperial examination and become officials.
In the past, the imperial court explicitly forbade merchants and their descendants to participate in the imperial examinations.
Therefore, even if they have this idea, they can only bury it deep in their hearts.
But now, Zhao Lin opened a window for them.
The price is only to buy the treasury bonds of the imperial court, and there is interest to be earned.
This kind of thing, in the eyes of the merchants, is a great thing.
It seems not surprising that the 20 million taels of silver treasury bonds were snapped up in just two days.
"It's all thanks to Your Majesty's sanctity. ”
The attitude of the head of the household is respectful.
If it weren't for the method that Zhao Lin came up with, it would have been impossible to sell the treasury bonds.
He is now impressed with this majesty.
The words "smart and wise" and "wise and martial" are not enough to describe it.
"Now that the national debt has been issued and the household department has raised silver taels, the matter of moving the capital can be put on the agenda. ”
The reason why Zhao Lin came up with the method of issuing treasury bonds was to raise the expenses needed to move the capital and solve the urgent need.
"Pass the decree down, let the civil and military officials start preparing today, and in three days, move the capital to Jinling!"
......
Once the will to move the capital was issued, the entire Yashan City acted quickly.
The palace, the imperial court, the hundred officials, and the forbidden army must all be moved.
There are many merchants and people in the city, and no one wants to stay in this small Yashan city.
Naturally, they all want to follow.
Most of these people were the remnants of the exile from Kyoto, but now that the capital has changed again, it is natural that they will follow closely behind the imperial court.
Three days later, the imperial court's capital relocation team officially set off.
The vast expanse stretches for hundreds of miles.
At the same time, the Sun Moon Divine Sect also made a move against the last major faction of Jiangnan Martial Arts, Qinghu Island.
Qinghu Island, located in the Taihu Lake, is known as the first major school of martial arts in the south of the Yangtze River.
There are 3,000 disciples under the sect, and many of them have even started their own sects and made a name for themselves.
This undoubtedly makes Qinghu Island more firmly in the position of the largest faction in the south of the Yangtze River.
On the edge of Taihu Lake.
The banner of the Sun and Moon Divine Cult is a large area of black oppression, covering the sky and the sun.
After successively destroying the Giant Whale Gang and the Hidden Sword Villa, most of the sects in the Jiangnan Martial Arts fell to the wind and surrendered to the Sun and Moon God Sect.
After they defected to the Sun Moon Divine Cult, they immediately changed into the clothes and banners of the Sun and Moon Divine Cult, and acted as pawns in this attack on Qinghu Island.
This is what makes the team of the Sun and Moon God Sect look so vast.
At this moment, the Eastern Sect Master was lazily reclining in a gorgeous chariot, and seemed to be recuperating with his eyes closed.
There is not a hint of the atmosphere of a big war.
"It's strange, my Sun Moon God Sect Brigade is here, and there is no movement on this Qinghu Island, is it because I have given up resistance. ”
On the shore of the lake, Chen Xiu, the left envoy of light, looked at the Qinghu Island that was silent in the distance, and couldn't help frowning.
"Unlikely. ”
The right envoy of the light shook his head, "Qinghu Island has been open for three hundred years, the foundation is stable, and it is the number one sect in Jiangnan martial arts, how can it be possible to give up resistance so easily." ”
"I think that this Qinghu Island is probably laying some kind of trap, waiting for us to act rashly and enter the trap. ”
After hearing this, Chen Xiu's face also became solemn, and he nodded, "What you said makes sense." ”
"However, the sect leader has already sent the Holy Aunt to Qinghu Island to find out if it is a trap, I believe there will be results soon. ”
Swish!
Just as his words fell, a graceful shadow suddenly passed by on the surface of the lake.
"Master!"
Qianying's light feat, in the blink of an eye, she had landed on the shore and half-knelt down in front of the Eastern Sect Master's chariot.
It was a woman with a veil, her posture was graceful, her skin was white, but her whole body was basically wrapped in a black robe, and only a pair of beautiful eyes were exposed.
When Chen Xiu and Qu Feng saw this, they were both amazed.
There was a hint of envy in his eyes.
The holy aunt in front of her is the personal disciple of the Eastern Sect Master, and she has a high level of understanding, and is very favored by the Eastern Sect Master.
At a young age, his cultivation has already reached the innate seven grades.
"What's the situation on Qinghu Island?"
The Eastern Sect Master slowly opened his eyes.
The Holy Aunt's eyes lit up, and she immediately said, "Master, the sect on Qinghu Island is empty!"
"What?!"
Chen Xiu and Qu Feng both had an unbelievable look on their faces.
The entire Qinghu Island is empty!
Even the Eastern Sect Leader showed a rare look of surprise on his face.
