Hearing Han Yi's words, Zhu Youzhen sighed, although he didn't want Su Hao to profit from it anymore, but now Henan can't stand the toss, and the land grain transportation in the past two years has requisitioned a large number of conscripts in Henan, resulting in almost no livelihood for the people in Henan.

There have been several rebellions against officials because of conscription, but because the transportation of grain is extremely important to the imperial court, the imperial court has a strict view of Henan, and a lot of soldiers and horses have been stationed in Kaifeng and other places, so there has been no major disaster.

But it is not a matter to forcibly suppress it all the time, and now the conscription on the Henan side has reached the limit, and if it continues, sooner or later there will be chaos, and at that time, Beizhili will really become an isolated island.

After being silent for a moment, Zhu Youzhen gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go lucky." ”

Although this will allow Su Hao to get a lot of food and raise more soldiers and horses, this is also better than the Henan chaos.

Han Yi replied: "The minister obeys the order." ”

After a pause, Han Yi continued: "Your Majesty, in the past few years, Shaanxi and Datong have been in great drought, resulting in rebellions, and now that the rebellion in Guizhou has been decided, we should provide disaster relief and reduce taxes as soon as possible to calm the people's hearts and quell the chaos." ”

Over the years, the Ming Dynasty has been raising taxes, and in the past ten years, the Liao salary has not been broken, and the An Bangyan rebellion has also levied a lot of taxes from Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Shaanxi and other places, and two years ago because Su Hao has increased taxes from Jiangnan, Huguang, Fujian, Guangdong and other places.

It can be said that now the taxes in various parts of the Ming Dynasty have been extremely heavy, almost to the extent that the people are not able to make a living, as long as there is a little natural and man-made disaster, it is the result of a spark in the prairie fire.

"Then let's reduce Shaanxi and Datong Mansion first."

Hearing this, Zhu Youzhen fell into deep thought, and only spoke after a while.

………

Time flies, time flies, in the blink of an eye, the year has passed, winter has gone to spring, everything has recovered, at this time, a news stirred the entire Shandong cultivation world.

The thousand-year-old sea snake demon entrenched in the East China Sea Cave Heaven Secret Realm Monument Island, Hai Gongzi failed to cross the robbery, and was attacked and killed by a Dengzhou Mansion warrior, and the thousand-year-old demon pill fell into the hands of this warrior.

The capital city of Jinan.

Great Qi Palace, Zichen Palace.

"Do you want me to mobilize forces to find that Dengzhou warrior for you?"

Looking at Dong Shichang and Xie Bing, Su Hao's eyes narrowed slightly, Dong Shichang is the leader of the Meishan lineage, and Xie Bing is the leader of the Yinshan faction, although Dong Shichang and Xie Bing have sent many disciples to join him, but Dong Shichang and the two did not take refuge in him, and the real pillars of the Meishan lineage and the Yinshan faction have not been invested in his command.

"Back to Your Majesty, the treasures appear in Your Majesty's territory, and they are the treasures that should be owned by Your Majesty, and the two of us just don't want to see Your Majesty's treasures stolen by thieves."

Xie Bing bowed and said, although they also coveted the thousand-year-old demon pill, but the two of them also knew very well that this kind of treasure was not something they coveted, as far as they knew, there were many strong people who were attracted by the thousand-year-old demon pill this time, and even the two families of Buddhism and Taoism had strong people who came to Shandong.

With the strength of their two factions, even if they get their hands, they can't keep it, and more importantly, the entire Central Plains can refine the thousand-year-old demon pill into a pill, only the Taoists, and they are a waste if they get it.

Therefore, after discussing with Dong Shichang for a long time, he decided to come to Su Hao, and now Su Hao has the appearance of success, although they have already bet on Daqi, but they have not made any great achievements for Su Hao, and it is not so easy to carry forward the Dao system by virtue of the dragon's skill.

For example, today's orthodoxy is Buddhism and Taoism, and even the White Lotus Sect has to bear the name of Buddhism and Taoism if it wants to develop secretly, and if they want to carry forward their Taoism, they have to compete for territory with Buddhism and Taoism, and it is impossible to rely on the strength of their two families alone.

And with the current role of the two factions on Su Hao, it is impossible for Su Hao to carry the two families of Buddhism and Taoism for them, at most he will give them some rewards, so after discussing with Dong Shichang, he decided to snatch this thousand-year-old demon pill for Su Hao.

Su Hao is also a cultivator, presumably he also attaches great importance to his own cultivation, snatching this thousand-year-old demon pill for Su Hao is not only a sign of loyalty, but also an increase in the status of Su Hao's mind, in the future, they want to carry forward the Dao system, and they can also get support from Su Hao.

Of course, the main reason is that they can't find the Dengzhou warrior themselves, and if they want to find the Dengzhou warrior before the others, they can only use the power of Daqi.

"Is that so?"

Hearing Xie Bing's words, Su Hao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at the two of them with a smile, but he thought about it in his heart.

The thousand-year-old demon demon pill is also an extremely rare treasure in the Central Plains, if it is refined into a pill, it can not only greatly improve the cultivation, but also have the miraculous effect of the flesh and bones of the living and dead, as long as there is a breath left, it can be saved, and it is even said to have the miraculous effect of prolonging life.

However, the thousand-year-old demons are all in the deep mountains and old forests, basically not setting foot in the human world, and the deep mountains and old forests are the territory of the demon clan, and in order to protect themselves, some powerful demon clans will gather together, and there are very few strong people who dare to break into those places to hunt thousand-year-old demons.

Now that a thousand-year-old demon pill has appeared, it will definitely be able to attract those hidden powerhouses in the entire Central Plains, and even the Ming and Jurchen people may send people to fight for it.

If he can obtain this thousand-year-old demon pill, then after refining into a pill, his strength can definitely usher in a wave of skyrocketing again, and it is definitely not a problem to reach the innate martial arts within a year or two, once he has the innate strength of the martial arts, he will no longer have to be trapped in the city of Jinan.

"Since the two of you have this idea, I am very pleased."

After thinking for a moment, Su Hao spoke: "I will ask the Black Ice Platform and the Demon Suppression Division to assist in a thorough investigation, and at the same time, I will also send another martial arts master and six first-class masters to attack." ”

Although Dong Shichang and Xie Bing's strength is not weak, they are not strong either, at most they are top-notch first-class masters, and it is not easy to win the Millennium Demon Pill among many masters.

It doesn't matter if Daqi doesn't participate, since they have decided to participate, they naturally have to show the corresponding strength, otherwise others should look down on Daqi.

"The ministers will live up to your majesty's expectations."

Hearing Su Hao's words, Dong Shichang and Xie Bing only felt a lot of pressure, and they were quite clear about the strength of Daqi, the lineup sent by Su Hao could be said to have hollowed out their family foundations, and if they couldn't succeed, their status in Su Hao's mind would be completely over.

…

After Dong Shichang and Xie Bing retreated, Su Hao asked people to invite Fang Haichuan, and now in the entire Great Qi, in addition to him, there is also Fang Haichuan, a martial arts master.

"Hai Gongzi is dead?"

Hearing Su Hao's words, Fang Haichuan was also stunned, he had also been a Jinyi Wei Qianhu in Jinan Mansion for several years before, so he naturally knew this Hai Gongzi.

This sea boy's lair is located in the depths of the seabed of Monument Island, and he usually does not go ashore, but occasionally after getting some natural treasures at the bottom of the sea, he will let his subordinates take them ashore and trade with the human race, so it is also one of the few demon powerhouses who have dealings with the human race.

"This time, I invited Brother Fang over, mainly because I wanted Brother Fang to come over and press the formation."

Su Hao said with a smile: "If you can take this thousand-year-old demon pill, after refining it into a pill, there will be a share of Brother Fang." ”

Hearing Su Hao's words, Fang Haichuan was also moved, once as a high-ranking Jinyi Wei commander Tongzhi, he naturally knew the value of a thousand-year-old demon pill, now the demon clan has long since declined, in the entire demon clan, the thousand-year-level old demon is also only a handful, the entire Ming Dynasty for more than two hundred years, there are only five known thousand-year-old demon pills in the world, and they are all still demon pills of tree demons.

After all, the thousand-year-old demon is already comparable to the innate powerhouse in the human race, except for the dryad who can't escape, it is not easy to kill any thousand-year-old demon.

After pondering for a long time, Fang Haichuan nodded and said, "Brother Su, don't worry, I will do my best." ”

Now that he has comprehended the palm intent, he is only one internal force away from the innate realm, and a thousand-year-old demon pill can be refined into at least four or five pills, even if he can only get one, it can save him five or six years of penance.

Hearing this, Su Hao nodded with a smile and said, "Then it's troublesome Brother Fang." ”

…

The county seat of Jiyang.

In a private house, a plainly dressed young man looked at the box in his hand, his face full of confusion.

His name is Zhang Yi, originally a young master of a dart bureau in Dengzhou Mansion, his parents died of illness at an early age, the dart game failed, he was brought up by his grandfather, practicing the family heirloom of the wind swordsmanship, and later his grandfather also passed away, leaving him alone.

Because he had nothing to worry about, he liked to explore the strange and secluded, and hunted around, because he heard that the historic island was beautiful, and there was a market opened up by the demon clan, so he invited the boat family to send him to the historic island.

Who knew that he would encounter the Hai Gongzi tragedy, and by chance he got the Hai Gongzi's Millennium Demon Pill, although he was lucky to return to Shandong from the Monument Island, but the news that he got the Hai Gongzi's Millennium Demon Pill has spread throughout Shandong, and now the cultivators of the entire Shandong are following his traces and want to snatch the Demon Pill from him.

"Alas!"

After looking at it for a long time, Zhang Yi sighed deeply, and then took the wooden box back into the package, after all these years of traveling, he also knew the preciousness of this demon pill in his hand, this thing was not something that he could keep as a small second-rate martial artist.

But a windfall from the sky, let him give it up, he is reluctant, as the so-called people die for money, birds die for food, such a large amount of wealth, who is really willing to let go.

But fortunately, he has been wandering around all these years, he has always had no fixed residence, he has houses in various places, plus some disguise modification skills, it is not easy for others to find him, he only needs to avoid this limelight, he can find a way to sell this demon pill, in exchange for a great fortune, and he will be free for a lifetime.

Just thinking of this, Zhang Yi also had a headache, this demon pill is good, but it is too good, according to what he knew from hearsay before, this kind of thousand-year-old demon pill is hard to find.
