Asgard 114.

In a good year, the fairy palace received 600,000 catties of grain.

In some places, there is a suspicion of comparison, and the increasingly exaggerated yield per mu has made the local city lord's mansion miserable.

Because of Li Changsheng's dedication to the rule of law, as well as the reasons why the wealthy families, magnates, and officials have abused their power many times before. The Castle Lord's Palace, as a local administrative body, has been domesticated into a mere tool with extremely limited power.

As for the grain tax, which is the most important thing in the agrarian society, they can't touch it at all, and they can only mechanically complete the orders of the Asgard.

But now too many people are handing over food indiscriminately, and according to the procedure, the local government needs to verify it. One is to prevent the local government from using the harvest as an excuse to increase tax revenue, and on the other hand, it is also protecting the local government.

The City Lord's Mansion reported the situation, and as long as the situation is guaranteed, no matter what happens, he can be exempted from responsibility.

Commonly known as throwing pot.

Li Changsheng's desktop is also piled up, and it is basically the grain collection situation in various regions. For this reason, Qingxuan, Taiyin Xingjun, Zhu Xue and others also need to help review the account books compiled by the lower-level departments.

Although the actual work of the department responsible for collecting the grain has been completed, they only need to confirm the stamp. The monks of Asgard, who have a hundred years of administrative memory, are already familiar with the road, and there will be basically no problems.

"But it's still going to be seen."

Li Changsheng was lying in the arms of Taiyin Xingjun, holding the account book in one hand and appeasing Zhu Xue, who was dissatisfied with the temporary increase in work, with the other.

"If you don't look at it today, tomorrow the people below will dare to be perfunctory, and the day after tomorrow will dare to fool you. And sometimes people blindly follow, and there are too many people in some areas, and sometimes it's not enough to deal with emergencies, so I need to give them a cover. ”

"There is an urgent need to return some of the food to the people in the form of incentives."

Nowadays, there is a trend of comparison in many areas, and whoever pays more grain is glorious. For many people, face is more important than life, and some old people even feel that they have a few years to live, so it is better to hand over all the food.

Some people don't have many grains of rice in their stomachs, and they tighten their belts and brag about how much they have paid.

For this kind of stupid child, Li Changsheng felt coaxed. It is certainly not possible to send the grain back directly, regardless of the workload, the vast majority of the people will not receive it.

Therefore, it is necessary to distribute part of the food to everyone in the form of incentives to ensure their living needs.

This will not hurt the self-esteem of the people, but also reduce the workload.

"As a monarch, as an example to the world, Shushu, how can you be tired?"

Zhu Xue muttered dissatisfiedly: "But I'm not a king, and the immortal chief promised me to play with me this year." ”

"But Poor Dao wants Shushu to be the king."

"Why?"

"This is a family business that has been laid down with great difficulty, and of course it must be passed on to those closest to you. Looking at the emperors of mortal dynasties hundreds of years ago, how can there be a reason to pass it on to outsiders? ”

Li Changsheng said with a serious face, and these words suddenly made Zhu Xue, who had a pure heart, turn from anger to joy, and her heart bloomed, and she laughed out of two pear vortexes.

She hugged Li Changsheng's thighs and confirmed them over and over again.

"I'm the closest person to me, really?"

"Really, but you also have to work hard to be someone who is worthy of this position."

"Uh-huh!"

I wish the snow god to be fully open, dozens or hundreds of account books in front of him, and he can use all kinds of things wholeheartedly, and one person can stand up to the entire grain collection department.

The most important thing is that Zhu Xue is absolutely loyal to Li Changsheng, she will not lie, and she will not deceive Li Changsheng for her own selfishness.

When the old Taoist priest next to him saw this scene, he couldn't help but smile, and there were some more memories in his cloudy eyes.

Many years ago, there was a Taoist who told him the same thing, and then he worked for the world for thousands of years.

At that time, he was as happy as wishing snow.

Maybe that's the inheritance.

Heaven and earth go back and forth, countless Tianjiao appear and fall, all of them are fleeting, only the way of heaven and immortals are eternal.

"Xiao Qi, how about accompanying me for two?"

Li Changsheng's gentle voice like a spring breeze interrupted Qing Xuan's reminiscences, and he looked up to see a plain face as he did back then, with a light smile on the corner of his mouth.

Or the figures coincide, or it may be that the Taoist has not changed from beginning to end.

"It's been a long time since I've played chess with the Immortal."

Qingxuan did not refuse, dragging the body of heaven and man to sit in front of the chessboard.

As a master of the talisman, he has always had few opponents in chess, and he prefers to play chess in terms of entertainment. Compared with Li Changsheng's mastery, Qingxuan is very single-minded.

When the high verdict is set, the gap will naturally widen.

Li Changsheng couldn't give birth to Qingxuan, and soon lost a game.

Qing Xuan said modestly: "The immortal chief has many hobbies, and he has very little investment in playing chess, but he is only a little worse than me. ”

Although it is modest, it is indeed the truth. Spending the same amount of time, Qing Xuan didn't think he could win against the Immortal Chief.

Even if he is given a life of 4,000 years, it is estimated that he will not have 1/3 of Li Changsheng's ability. Take supernatural powers as an example, he can learn more than ten or twenty at most, and he will definitely not learn thousands.

Li Changsheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Come again." ”

"Okay."

Qing Xuan waved all the chess pieces back to the chess table, and then he smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and said, "Immortal Chief, please first." ”

Li Changsheng picked up the white seed and landed in the middle at will. When it was Qing Xuan's turn, he also dropped the sunspot at random, and his heart suddenly sank before he landed on the chessboard.

The chessboard in front of him is infinitely magnified, and it seems to turn into heaven and earth in an instant.

And every time a chess piece is dropped, it's like lifting a mountain.

“……”

Then Qingxuan lost for a day and a night.

The only good thing is that the Divine Soul is also a little stronger than before, and a small improvement is rare and valuable for a powerhouse of his level.

Because every time he falls, it is like lifting a mountain with divine thoughts. And the chessboard is like a small world, containing a variety of laws, if you want to drop the chess pieces, you must have a certain understanding of heaven and earth.

Every time you make a move, you need to rack your brains and think.

In this regard, Qingxuan also protested.

But Li Changsheng also has a point.

"The chessboard is like heaven and earth, and playing chess is not only about playing chess, but also about understanding heaven and earth. Xiaoqi, you are in this realm, don't you understand? ”

"I'm doing this all for you, maybe in a few more games you will break through to the peak of the gods."

The Taiyin Xingjun next to her also nodded in agreement, as long as Li Changsheng said it, she nodded and praised. As far as Qing Xuan knows, this rabbit spirit is probably also questioning the immortal chief in the boudoir.

Qing Xuan took a deep breath and said, "Come again." ”

Between the two games, the world is still in spring.

——————————

Asgard 115 years.

A monk crossed Kyushu and returned to Tianshu from the East China Sea to inform Asgard of his visits to all sides of heaven and earth in recent decades.

In the East China Sea, there is an earth fire that crosses the ocean, turning the sea into a hot pot of soup, in which all kinds of miasma are rampant, and even monks can hardly survive.

Most of the original overseas monks fled to the ancient land of Youzhou, and many krakens from the East China Sea threw themselves into the submerged land of Kyushu.

In the second half of the year, someone came back from the Ancient Sacred Mountain and learned that the demon clan was also full of disasters and difficulties, and he was too busy to take care of himself.

All kinds of natural disasters are rampant, even if it is a Jindan demon, sometimes it will be killed by a thunderbolt if you are not careful.

The whole world has fallen into a catastrophe.

Perhaps it was the calm before the disaster, but this year's Tianzhou was also a bumper year.

The Asgard side has prepared enough food for the entire human race to eat and wear for four years, according to the standard of one pound per person per day.

At the same time, the fairy palace hides the idea of being rich to the people, and the people do not have to pay the court silver every year like the feudal dynasty. After decades of accumulation, the people basically have enough food and clothing, and there is surplus food at home.

According to the standard of one pound of grain a day, the surplus grain in people's homes can generally support half a year.

When Zhao Si and the others entered the illusion realm again, they saw an incomparably huge grain granary, and the grain in front of them was piled up, at least dozens of meters high at a glance.

There is some kind of formation protection on the periphery, which can be known through Xuanben.

"This formation was also developed by Zhu Xue, a killing formation whose power has been weakened countless times. Any creature that enters it will be attacked by the divine soul of the formation, and mortals who stay in it for a year will die violently, and the grain worm will die in three days. ”

"Consume one spirit stone a day, covering 1,000 square meters."

The investigation team recorded this formation.

The grain protection array, a formation specially used to kill mosquitoes, is less harmful to people and has low consumption, and can be used in large grain storage warehouses.

Record: Asgard has applied spells to people's livelihood, reflecting the advanced nature of immortal spells, and the value of their production far exceeds consumption.

At the same time, it is demonstrated that the immortal law is reasonable for people's livelihood.

Low value and unsuitable for modern use.

Zhao Si saw Xu Danting write down the evaluation of low value, and couldn't help but ask: "The value of this formation is still low?" This is a formation that kills grain worms 100% without any additives, how can there be this technology now? ”

"And I've heard that the loss of modern granaries is 0.6%, but it's actually 1%. 100 million tons of grain will lose 1 million tons, of which insect pests account for at least 300,000 tons. ”

Not long ago, due to the flood caused by the Dragon Palace, Zhao Si was assigned to the granary rescue mission for a few days, and learned some information that he couldn't reach before.

Xu Danting replied: "The current grain is relatively cheap, not enough to make up for the value of the spirit stone. We can still afford the loss of insect infestation, but we can't do it with spirit stones. ”

"The weight of the Asgard standard spirit stone is 109 grams, and ours is 10 grams, which is the new standard four-grade spirit stone."

As a hard currency among monks, the spirit stone often serves as a currency.

Modern times have also formulated corresponding standards, in fact, it is modeled after the existing monetary system, the quality is divided into upper, middle and lower three grades, and the weight is divided into six grades.

Its weight units correspond to one, five, ten, fifty, one hundred.

The main reason for this is that many of the current spirit veins produce finely broken spirit stones, which are easy to break, and it is too expensive to re-smelt them together.

As a result, the broken spirit stone collectively referred to in the cultivation world has become a modern "one dollar".

"According to the current pricing of spirit stones, one gram is equal to 5,000, which is more than 100,000 a day."

Zhao Si tugged at the corners of his mouth and said: "The market price is used to harvest the rich, and I think that in addition to the high-grade spirit stones, it is basically equivalent to gold." ”

"Prices are never defined by their own value, this is true of luxury goods, and the same is true of the food in front of them. Rice and sorghum have a shelf life of up to 5~10 years in a low-temperature and dry environment, and the decision of Asgar Palace is impeccable. ”

Xu Danting squatted down, grabbed a handful of rice, and looked at it carefully, the particles were a little smaller than those of modern times.

"It should have been bred to a certain extent, but compared to the rice that has been cultivated for countless generations in modern times, it is still a little worse."

Shenzhou has never been inferior to others in farming, and at present, all kinds of genetically modified rice can be grown on most of the land.

Xu Danting recorded the size and state of rice, and the staple grain can well reflect the production of society, and then deduce the state of the whole society in all aspects.

"Bad ......"

Zhao Si suddenly exclaimed, everyone's eyes gathered at once, and then followed the other party's line of sight to look at the rice.

I saw that the pile of grain in front of Zhao Si, under the golden rice, crawled out one by one.

Everyone was stunned.

Isn't there a formation?

The Qingxuan Daoist in his memory also found the worm, and the monk in charge of managing this place suddenly turned pale with fright, and the whole person seemed to be drained.

He stumbled to the grain pile, pulled open the wormed area with his hand, and saw the rice that had been eaten into empty shells.

"How is this possible? The formation was never closed, and it was checked every three months. ”

Qing Xuan Shen Nian swept over the entire granary, and with a wave of his hand, all the milky white special rice worms were put into his sleeve.

Then he didn't get angry, and he didn't scold, and said, "Take the account book related to the formation, if you do your duty, you don't need to be afraid." ”

"But this is all the food saved by the people, which is to be used for winter, and now it is all in my hands, I am sorry for my father and fellow villagers......"

The monk in charge of the granary sat on the ground, not so much afraid of punishment as of of failing the people.

The human heart is made of flesh, and the monk is not made of steel.

Nowadays, immortals and immortals live together, and the monks in many places are natives. When they can't continue to practice in the Immortal Palace, or they feel that their cultivation is hopeless, they will choose to return to their hometown to take up their posts.

Refining qi and building a foundation are the vast majority of monks.

An hour later, after Qingxuan's repeated inspections, the granary did not operate in violation of regulations.

And the rice worm actually has a certain resistance to the attack of the divine soul.

This special pest was quickly sent to Li Changsheng, and after another investigation, he finally came to a conclusion.

Natural disasters, pests that come into being.

Yang Cang borrowed this special rice worm and pinched his fingers, and was even more frightened to the point of bloodlessness.

"Heaven is going to kill my human race! This is providence! ”

When the words of the decisation reached the ears of the major immortal sects, there was another turmoil, and the Cave Heaven Doctrine raised its head again.

There can never be only one voice in a large collective, and opposition is a normal and inevitable phenomenon.

Dongtianism is fugitivism, just like during the great flood of the year, advocating the sacrifice of the small self to achieve the big self, and allowing the outstanding to enter the cave to take refuge and continue the fire of the human race.

This is a well-thought-out and more realistic idea.

But how to define excellence?

Li Changsheng has asked many people, and he can always get very fair tirades, and there are even people like Feixing Zhenren who really want to continue the fire of the human race, and they have tried their best to think of a plan.

But when asked how to define excellence, everyone was speechless.

In fact, everyone understands that of course it is the powerful and advanced with background, and then the talented, and finally a few ordinary people to preach morality.

Li Changsheng didn't like it, and the Dongtian Sect could only bow his head.

The general direction of the human race remains unchanged, and Zhu Xue has developed a new formation that can kill this special rice worm, but it requires three times as many spirit stones.

At the end of the year, the weather starts to get colder.

A fox fairy came to Asgard.

Qingqiu fox fairy Luoshui, with stunning colors, a light veil and a holy demeanor.

She said to Li Changsheng: "Fellow Daoist, I have a way to solve the Heaven and Earth Tribulation. ”

"How?"

"Hedao, heaven and earth must be yours."

Li Changsheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he came to the fox fairy in a flash, grabbed the opponent's snow-white neck, and directly thundered and instantly penetrated the opponent's body protection method.

Just grabbed each other like this and slowly lifted them into the air. The flickering thunder entwined the lifeblood of the fox fairy, and the other party would fall on the spot with just one thought.

The fox fairy light veil fell to the ground, revealing a face that was suffocating enough, and there was no fear in the eyes.

It was this fearlessness that made Li Changsheng perceive the strangeness.

How many years have passed, and there are still people in the world who are not afraid of themselves. If there is, there is only one.

"How can the poor Dao be virtuous, worthy of such a concern from the Heavenly Dao?"

"Heaven and earth are made perfect, but if you exist, you are no longer perfect."

The fox fairy's eyes were slightly closed, and she fainted completely.

Li Changsheng put it down, and then let the rabbit take care of it. About a month later, the fox fairy woke up again, knowing everything she had done and what she was doing.

But only this time I was in awe of Li Changsheng.

——————

Asgard 116 years.

The first snow fell in Tianzhou, the earth put on winter clothes, and the temperature continued to drop.

For a year, the wind and snow never showed signs of stopping. Originally, because the immortals changed the heavens and the earth, the wild animals that were able to survive in Tianzhou have now migrated into the Taigu Sacred Mountain.

In the whole of Tianzhou, only the human race and the captive domestic animals remained.

This year, the people of the world spent time in cold and boredom.

Asgard provided the people with plenty of food as scheduled, just as the people unconditionally handed over their own food.

In the same year, the construction of the Earthfire Array began.

The people who were unable to carry out productive activities were put into it, and one or two mortals could not help, but when the number rose to ten thousand, it would be a force to be reckoned with.

Li Changsheng looked at the snowflakes that kept falling in the sky, and felt more and more that this piece of heaven and earth was sick.

He is determined to fight between heaven and earth.

Qing Xuan asked, "How can a man overcome the sky?" ”

The investigation team standing behind him outside the long river of history also had such doubts.

I saw a light smile on the face of the Taoist in Tsing Yi, and said lightly: "Everything in heaven and earth is one of the ways of heaven, and the sky will not abandon me, and no one can be defeated." If the heavens forsake me, it is the way to die. ”
