Chapter 97: The Saint's Taboo, Untouchable Bottom Line
There are clear rules for the three exam questions of the Qing Yuan Society.
It's not just a matter of asking any question.
The three questions correspond to governing the country, discussing the Tao, and skill.
Governing the country is a test of the ability to govern the country and secure the people.
On the Tao, the test is the understanding of cultivation and the mastery of supernatural spells.
The skills are more special, refining utensils, alchemy, cooking, tea ceremony, architecture, painting, feng shui, etc., all of which are skills.
The Thirteen Princes, Mu Tianxin, and the lucky ones who were selected each asked three questions, corresponding to governing the country, discussing the Tao, and skills.
There are nine questions in total.
Then the referee randomly selected three questions with different themes from the nine questions and announced them, which were answered by the guests present.
Everything is ready to go.
Special guests who have been invited to serve as referees appear.
It was none other than the dean of the Outer Heaven Academy, Dao Yan.
An ordinary old man with gray hair, a kind face, and a short and fat build.
Standing in front of people, Dao Yan clenched his fists with both hands and said with a hearty smile: "Although Xiao Lao'er is famous outside the customs, he is just a no-name person in the world. Today, I am very afraid to be able to preside over a grand event for His Highness here. However, entrusted by others to be loyal to people, since the little old man should be on the errand of His Royal Highness, he also has to do a beautiful job for His Highness. ”
"Later, if the little old man has something that he can't handle well, you can't sigh, you have to applaud and cheer for the little old man."
"Otherwise, the little old man will be very uncomfortable, hahaha."
Dao Yan's words immediately amused everyone present.
"Dean, if you say that, we won't agree. No one outside the border knows your name, and if you are all unknown, we are as small and pathetic as ants. ”
"Hahaha, Dean, you're still so funny. Wait for you to watch, who dares to sigh to you, I will unscrew his bag. ”
Everyone laughed, whether it was the monks of the Great Summer Dynasty or the young talents of Southern Xinjiang, they all showed goodwill.
Dao Yan, the dean of the Outer Heaven Academy.
Tianwaitian is the first college outside Guanwai that is willing to accept lowly students and students from southern Xinjiang regardless of origin, nationality, or race.
Therefore, Daoyan has an excellent reputation outside the customs.
Many young talents from southern Xinjiang have gone to the outer world to study.
"It's a great honor for you to be so supportive. Now let's look at the first question. ”
Dao Yan smiled and bowed his hand, and came to the question box in front of him.
A boxy box.
Forbidden Spirit God Gold.
The surface color resembles bronze.
The chest made of forbidden spirit gold has many effects of banning divine thoughts and blocking supernatural powers, which can effectively prevent practitioners from manipulating and drawing questions through divine thoughts and supernatural powers.
Nine balls of the same weight and shape were already placed in the box, except for the different numbers inside.
Dao Yan shook the box with it, and then reached into it with his right hand under the eager attention of everyone.
Pulling out his right hand, there was already an extra crystal ball with numbers inside.
Number Eight!
It represents the eighth question.
Dao Yan took out the exam questions according to the number.
The exam questions are also sealed in a metal box made of forbidden spirit gold to prevent anyone from prying into the content of the exam questions in advance.
Dao Yan opened the box and took out the exam questions.
Question 1: [Governing the country: The dispute between Yunmiao. 】
The moment they saw the exam questions, the scene suddenly became restless, and some people couldn't help but scold their mother directly.
"Damn, which ghost lacks virtue actually came up with this question."
"It's actually the dispute between Yunmiao and Yunmiao, this problem has been solved by no one for 800 years, isn't it a joke."
"Haha, that's good, no one in the world can solve the problem, our first problem is to stand on the same starting line."
"Cool, what Lao Tzu is most afraid of is the exam questions for governing the country, now it's okay, everyone doesn't have to play."
Everyone looked at the exam questions, some were happy, some scolded their mothers, some were irritable, and some were helpless.
The battle of Yunmiao was an examination question proposed by Emperor Daxia eight hundred years ago to test the ability of the courtiers of the school.
Taken from a real history of this world.
The dispute between Yun and Miao tells about the dispute between Yun and Miao.
The country of Yunguo is in danger of mountains and rivers.
However, the land area is small, only one-fifth of the size of the Miao country.
The number of people is even smaller, only one-tenth of that of the Miao country.
Candidates will consider how to defend the country under the offensive of the Miao State and counterattack the Miao State from the perspective of Yunxiao, the general of the Yun Kingdom.
Of course, if this is the case, it is not impossible to win.
But the problem is that Yunxiao needs to face not only external pressures, but also terrible internal pressures.
The monarch of Yunguo was too suspicious, there were many contradictions within the court, and various forces were intertwined.
Miao is a strong soldier, although the monarch is not a fuel-efficient lamp, greedy for money and lustful, tyrannical and killing, but after all, the country's foundation is thick.
The two countries clashed for 18 years, and finally the Yun Kingdom was destroyed, and the capital was slaughtered.
In the face of such an almost crushing advantage, it is difficult to counterattack Miao State from the perspective of Yunxiao, the general of Yun Kingdom.
Therefore, since the question was proposed, no one has been able to solve the question perfectly.
With the passage of time, this question has become more and more famous, and it is well known to practitioners from almost all countries, and now it is listed as one of the top ten unsolvable problems in the world.
For 800 years, countless cultivators have not solved the problem, and naturally they will inevitably be scolded by the young talents present.
Dao Yan looked at this question and couldn't help but feel extremely stunned.
He also did this question before, but he died a little embarrassed.
Thinking about it to this day, Dao Yan has an urge to hit someone.
It's all a sabbi question.
It's not human at all.
"Ahem, this question is not from Xiao Lao'er."
Dao Yan spread his hands and had an innocent expression on his face, but this could not alleviate everyone's resentment and dissatisfaction.
"Dean, did you forget to wash your hands before you always draw questions?"
"Haha, thank you so much for this question, governing the country or something, it's really not something that a rough person like us can play."
The crowd either complained or laughed.
But what should come will come after all.
The problem-solving tools were distributed to everyone.
A prop that resembles a compass.
It is golden, with a star pattern on it, and it looks very mysterious.
The name of this object is called the Tianyan Astrolabe, which allows people to enter the illusion of history and experience a complete history in the first person. Of course, the historical illusions in it are all set in advance according to known information, such as character design, historical trends, natural environment, etc., not really going back to the past, or seeing the past scenes.
In a more modern interpretation, the Celestial Astrolabe is like a game console.
The Battle of the Clouds and Seedlings is the first-person strategy game of this console.
All NPCs in the game have artificial intelligence, which is no different from normal humans, and is a highly open virtual game world.
Candidates will play the role of Yunxiao, the general of the Cloud Kingdom, and try to change their lives against the sky!
Liu Xian was not interested in this thing in the first place.
He came here this time just to see what strength the so-called young heroes have, what magical means they have, and by the way, they have a good time, but they are not participating in the imperial examination.
Governing the country has nothing to do with us.
But after understanding the role of the Tianyan Astrolabe, Liu Xian was excited.
Game consoles!
This isn't the game console we've always dreamed of.
What a cloud seedling dispute.
Unimportant.
It doesn't matter at all.
The important thing is to fulfill our dream of playing games.
Enter a historical fantasy.
Liu Xian had a lot of information in his mind.
Cloud Country's.
Miao Guo's.
as well as its own.
Here, he is Yun Xiao, the general of Yun Kingdom, the uncle of the current Yun Kingdom monarch, and the great warlord who controls forty percent of the country's army.
For many years, the town has guarded the border town of Yunmiao and Tiange.
It's just that although Yunxiao's identity is noble, it is in a very difficult situation.
Externally, although Tiange had 200,000 of the most elite army of the Yun Kingdom, the number of troops of the Miao Kingdom on the opposite side was as high as five million!
Twenty-five times the difference.
If it weren't for the dangerous terrain of Tiange, like the mountains and mountains of Sichuan and Shu, the army was difficult to march, and many demon beasts were raging, the Yun Kingdom would have been bulldozed a long time ago.
Internally, Yunxiao, as the monarch's own uncle, has a huge military force, how can he make a suspicious monarch feel at ease.
The monarch of Yunguo placed several overseers in Yunxiao's army, and often threatened with grain, grass, and silver to ensure that Yunxiao did not dare to act rashly.
In addition to the suspiciousness of the monarch, the surrender faction led by Xiang Guo in the court also regarded Yunxiao as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, and they were eager to get rid of it quickly.
After all, the difference in strength between Yun and Miao is too big.
There can be no odds.
Instead of angering the Miao State, it is better to bow down and surrender in exchange for peace between the two countries.
Knowing the general background of the game, Liu Xianle was happy.
It's a hellish start.
There are almost invincible enemies on the outside, and pig teammates on the inside.
But who are we, the backbone war criminals of P Society, is this difficulty difficult!
Not counts!
As an excellent P Club player, Liu Xian immediately had a plan after learning more about the story background of the current history.
If you want to win this game, you must first eliminate your pig teammates.
To put it simply, how did Your Majesty rebel!
Yunxiao has been in charge of the army of Yunguo for many years, and the army is full of protégés, and his control over the army is extremely high, which is also the source of the monarch's worries.
Liu Xian relied on this advantage of Yunxiao, through the war between the two countries, openly and secretly killed all the supervisors and generals loyal to the monarch. Although the prison army was hit by an arrow in the back, isn't it normal that there are Miao State spies in the army?
Therefore, the prison army must have died honorably in the war with the Miao State!
Taking advantage of the death of the prison army, the destruction of the generals loyal to the monarch, and the temporary loss of contact with the monarch to the front line, Liu Xian sneaked into the national capital with three hundred elites.
At the same time, the henchman who had been ordered first infiltrated the palace and poisoned his dear eldest nephew.
When Liu Xian arrived, because the monarch was poisoned, the imperial city was already in chaos.
Liu Xian, who lost his beloved eldest nephew, controlled part of the imperial city by virtue of his prestige in the army, and then sent his henchmen to Xiangguo's mansion to arrest him on charges of connecting with Miao and poisoning the monarch.
However, the thief of Xiangguo did not die, resisted stubbornly, and died in the chaos.
It's miserable.
At the same time, several of Xiangguo's confidants tried in vain to rebel, and they were all razed by the three clans and their homes were raided.
As for how they rebelled with even a little bit of military power, it doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter why the general guarding the border came back so coincidentally.
No, this is very important, of course, because I have long known that Xiangguo is not a good thing and wants to rebel.
It's a pity that the general came one step late, so that His Majesty was killed by traitorous ministers, and he cried out in grief.
Overnight, the monarch died violently, and the capitulation faction suffered heavy casualties.
As the monarch's own uncle, Liu Xian, with a sad heart, set up his dear eldest nephew's two-year-old son-in-law as the new emperor, proclaimed himself regent, the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, and took care of the eldest nephew's precious son and queen.
It is truly a model of family harmony.
It's just that apart from Liu Xian, who in the world dares to do this?
This question is tested to be loyal and courageous, and to be loyal to duty.
You and his meows have all killed the king and rebelled, and the Son of Heaven is coerced to order the princes, do you still need to see the results of this test paper?
You don't need to look at it at all, you just have to be pushed out and clicked, and you don't have to die unjustly at all.
This is the Devil's Way!
It's the act of the Great Devil!
But Liu Xian didn't care, and had a good time.
Having mastered most of the military power of Yun Kingdom, Liu Xian had no worries at all. But if you want to defeat the Miao Kingdom, which is completely crushed by strength, it is definitely not enough to rely on the strength of the Yun Kingdom.
However, this is still difficult for the excellent hardcore players of the P Society.
Liu Xian sent his henchmen to join the Miao State with a plan for the rejuvenation of the Yun State, and denounced the cruelty and unkindness of General Yunxiao in front of the monarch of the Miao State, how to cause trouble in the harem, how to humiliate the queen, how to brutalize the monarch, and how to brutally treat loyal ministers. And said that he was loyal to the Lord, and he wanted to be inseparable from the monarch killer Yunxiao, and took the thief Yunxiao's plan to rejuvenate the country as a gift, and asked Miao to seek justice for the murdered monarch of Yunguo.
Miao Guo would not directly believe this minister of Yun Guo who came to take refuge rashly.
But soon, they found out that Yun Guo was really reforming according to the plan to rejuvenate the country, and then they faced up to this loyal minister who came to take refuge.
Subsequently, the monarch of Miao asked the courtiers to study the great plan of rejuvenating the country that was sent.
Bank!
In the name of the state, banks were built all over the country, paper money was issued to the people, and it was forcibly promoted, and paper money was docked with copper coins, crystal coins, and Tianjin, which was called the gold standard system.
Ordinary people can take the banknotes issued by the state and go directly to the bank to exchange the same amount of crystal coins and Tianjin.
For the so-called bank, Miao Guo felt inexplicable.
A mere piece of waste paper can be counted as a copper coin, or even a crystal coin?
Can the people recognize this thing?
But they soon found out that the people couldn't recognize it. All the courtiers' money was cashed in paper money, and all the goods of the government industry were settled in paper money. Salt, food, basic cultivation materials, etc., if people want to buy them, they can only exchange the copper coins and crystal coins in their hands into paper money, and then they can go to the government store to buy them.
Even taxes must be settled in paper money, forcing the people to use paper money.
In a short period of time, paper money has become the mainstream currency of Yunguo.
Although many people like to exchange paper money for copper coins, crystal coins and other items as soon as they get it. However, some businessmen found that compared with the previous copper coins, paper money is easier to carry, and can also be turned over through the bank, which greatly improves business efficiency and ensures the safety of funds. After all, in the past, large transactions required to carry boxes of crystal coins, not to mention the trouble of counting, the slightest carelessness may become the target of thieves.
How nice it is now.
Large transactions require only a check and can be cashed in any city, never worrying about being robbed again.
Looking at the beneficial changes brought about by Yunguo Bank, the monarch of Miao State smelled the opportunity to make a fortune.
If you learn from Yunguo's banking method, cough cough, and then issue a little more banknotes, is it equivalent to earning a lot of wealth.
As a fan of wealth, the monarch of Miao immediately arranged for his courtiers to follow suit.
Miao's bank was soon established.
In the mole, phew, with the help of the loyal ministers of the Yun State, the bank of the Miao State was soon on the right track.
Then the monarch of Miao found that no one noticed that his slightly over-issued banknotes did not cause any adverse effects. With the forcible promotion of paper money, a large amount of private wealth flowed into their own pockets. Looking at the huge wealth that he had never had, the monarch of the Miao Kingdom was intoxicated and indulged.
In the first three years, I didn't dare to go too far.
But as paper money was accepted and gradually replaced by traditional currencies, the Miao monarch gradually became bolder.
In the fourth year, the water was continued to be released and paper money was printed, and the paper money circulating in the market has reached 12 percent of the margin.
But the market is only slightly affected, not much.
Beginning in the fifth year, the monarch of the Miao State gradually became bolder.
More and more banknotes were being printed, and even reached 200 percent, 300 percent of the margin.
At this time, the prices of Miao began to rise, the paper money in the hands of the people continued to depreciate, people's trust in the paper money decreased, and there was a run on the country all over the country. The people waved paper money and asked the bank to exchange it for copper coins, crystal coins, and gold.
Because there were too many people to exchange, the monarch of Miao was afraid.
The additional banknotes issued in the market have reached three times the amount of the security deposit, and if these civilians continue to make trouble, it will not be enough to lose all the gold in the national treasury.
At this time, the loyal ministers from the Cloud Kingdom made small, constructive proposals.
Since it's not enough, let's just mess it up and smash it.
The gold standard system was abolished, and from then on, paper money was no longer linked to the crystal coin Tianjin.
Of course, this is a rhetoric to ordinary people, and for those families who are the pillars of the country, we can lower our posture a little and allow their paper money to be exchanged for crystal coins and gold at 30% and 50%.
When the news spread, the family was not very satisfied.
But in a blink of an eye, I found that by the dear monarch so tossed, ordinary people were desperate and began to sell their sons and daughters, and ordinary small families had to sell their ancestral homes and properties.
The original land price of one crystal coin per mu is now so cheap that one crystal coin can buy twenty acres!
The store that used to be a hundred days gold now only needs three or five days gold!
In this way, if the crystal coins and heavenly gold exchanged from the monarch are used to buy the property of the bankrupt people and small families, not only will they not lose money, but they will also make a lot of money.
For a while, the family was full of oil, and they wished that the disaster would be more serious.
The catastrophe is an opportunity for them!
And they're going to do the same.
Some of the great families asked the monarch to print more paper money for personal gain.
The lord of the Miao Kingdom, who had been blinded by the huge wealth, had no worries at the moment, and agreed to the plan with the support of many clans.
Paper money was printed more and more, prices were getting higher and higher, the people were impoverished, their livelihoods were difficult to maintain, assets were wantonly plundered by the big families, and the whole country was in chaos.
However, in the face of the great families and royal families with absolute force, the anger of ordinary people is like a candle flame, insignificant.
This is the world of the strong.
A monk of the Dharma Realm can easily destroy a city, like a humanoid nuclear bomb.
They are not qualified to compete with the great families.
And in the years when Miao Guo was frantically tossing, Liu Xian was not idle, while brushing the technology tree of the immortal cultivation world, and studying weapons similar to modern guns through refining, while watching Miao Country go to a catastrophe.
When power is uncontrolled and greed eats the heart, this tragedy is already doomed.
Because the history of mankind has answered this question countless times.
The bank is good, but when it is used as a tool to loot the people's fat and ointment, it will become a beast that destroys the country.
The human heart is unfathomable.
Liu Xian took a fancy to Miao Guojun's greedy character for money, so he gave him terrible modern financial tools. And now what he needs to do is to continue to brush the gun technology tree, accumulate the arms inventory of the Yun Kingdom, and wait for the people of the Miao Kingdom to gently push them as a good neighbor and give them weapons for revenge when they can't bear it anymore.
A psionic gun forged with modern gun theory and combined with this world's refining system.
Even if an ordinary person is armed with such a weapon, he can kill the cultivators of the Divine Realm, and even concentrate their firepower against the cultivators of the Faxiang Realm!
That would be the hunt time!
Liquidation of the people!
And Liu Xian didn't know at all that what he had done had touched the most untouchable taboo in the world.
Let ordinary people have weapons against cultivators!
This is the rule set by the saints!
A taboo that cannot be touched!
Recommend it to a friend.
Title: "Chewing the Dragon"
Author: Dragon Slayer
Brief introduction:
To open up Hongmeng, who is the Taoist? The fairy road is long, magnificent and magnificent.
The young Orion Qi Jingzhi walked out of the mountain and crashed headlong into this vast and mysterious world.
Along the way, he was sincere, brave and diligent, and he became a ghost under the knife, wearing hair and horns as food in his belly.
Suddenly looked back, but saw the lonely mountain and the waning moon, the evil spirits all retreated, the blue yellow spring, and the saints lowered their eyebrows.
This is exactly what it is:
I have a sword like frost and snow, forged by a thousand hammers.
Sharpen the knife and scrap stones, and the purple gas pierces the clouds and the stars collapse.
Men must be bold in case of trouble, and cut the dragon where there is a dragon.
Once he sucked the blood of the immortal Buddha, no insect dared to make a sound.
