Western Zhou, Danyang Prefecture.

Danyang Prefecture is located in the northeast of the Western Zhou Dynasty, bordering the Southern Xinjiang Demon Beast Forest.

Mingyue City, located in Danyang Prefecture, is a city that enters and exits the Southern Xinjiang Demon Beast Forest, where the warriors on the rivers and lakes of the Western Zhou Dynasty gather, and then form a team to hunt in the Southern Xinjiang Demon Beast Forest.

At night, in a quiet courtyard in Bright Moon City, the full moon hung high in the sky, sprinkled like mercury in every corner of the courtyard.

An old man with white hair was meditating in a rain pavilion with an emerald green gourd in front of him.

When a martial artist is promoted to the Soul Palace Realm, he no longer needs Yuan Jing to cultivate, but instead condenses his Yuan Shen.

Obviously, the old man already had a very high level of cultivation, and he no longer needed to continue to use the Yuan Crystal to meet his cultivation needs.

Suddenly, a ripple suddenly rippled in the middle of the air in the courtyard, and then quickly amplified until it turned into a whirlpool.

A piece of flesh, still oozing with blood, was teleported out of the vortex and fell downward.

It's just that before this piece of flesh and blood fell to the ground, it was invisibly like a hand dragging it, so that this piece of flesh and blood could not fall to the ground, but slowly flew in the direction of the old man.

The old man opened his eyes from meditating with his eyes closed, looked at the piece of flesh and blood in front of him, and his eyes flashed with a strange light: "I really didn't expect that there would be someone in this world who could kill you who had two pieces of Heavenly Dao Jade." ”

"Even let you only teleport back one of the pieces of Heavenly Dao Jade."

At this moment, a man appeared in the rain pavilion at some point.

If Su Yu was here, he would be surprised to find that this man was Chu Xuan, who had a one-sided relationship, and he was also the one who once possessed the Heavenly Dao Jade of the Fixation Technique.

"My lord, this piece of flesh is"

Chu Xuan looked at the piece of flesh floating in the air and asked tentatively.

"It's Song Jingfu."

The old man replied.

"Song Jingfu?"

Chu Xuan's face couldn't help but change.

He was brought back by Song Jingfu in the first place, and he also has a general understanding of how strong Song Jingfu's strength is.

Coupled with the fact that Song Jingfu had his own Heavenly Dao Jade in his hands, he really couldn't imagine that apart from the old man in front of him, there was anyone in this world who was Song Jingfu's opponent.

But now that Song Jingfu's flesh and blood appear here, it means that Song Jingfu has encountered an accident.

What a terrifying cultivation should the enemies that Song Jingfu encountered?

The old man's eyes were deep, and he said slowly: "Chu Xuan, you send a thousand miles of falcons to contact the moon envoys and Japanese envoys in the territory of Great Wei to investigate what happened in Great Wei tonight. ”

Being able to kill Song Jingfu will inevitably cause great movement, and you only need to inquire a little to know what is probably going on.

"Yes!"

Chu Xuan responded, and then his figure disappeared.

The old man stood up, looked in the direction of Great Wei, and muttered, "If it is not surprising, there are already half-saint martial artists in the territory of Great Wei?" ”

"It seems that the old man also has to go out to move his muscles."

Following.

Su Yu got up early to wash, dressed up and ate the breakfast sent by Ma Zai below, and then drove slowly in the direction of the palace.

"Your Majesty, Liangzhou has suffered from drought this year, and the imperial court urgently needs relief for the victims."

"Your Majesty, Yunzhou has suffered a flood disaster this year, and there is no grain harvest, coupled with the previous Wei Seal levy grain, Yunzhou has no grain to survive the winter, and the imperial court also needs relief ......"

Wei Lianyi frowned slightly, the treasury was stolen before, and now the court is also tightening its belt to live.

Liangzhou and Yunzhou need disaster relief at the same time, and it is difficult for the imperial court to cook without rice.

She looked around, and then said aloud: "Do you Aiqing have a good proposal to help Yunzhou and Liangzhou survive this cold winter?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he can increase the taxes of the other seven states, and then use this tax money to help the victims."

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible to increase taxes, the people are already struggling, and the merchants are profit-seeking, increasing taxes, which will inevitably make merchants migrate to the Northern Qi and Western Zhou, not only that, it takes a lot of time to collect this tax silver, and local officials also need to collect it for a long time, and when this tax and silver are collected, they will be used to buy food for disaster relief, and the displaced people in Liangyun and Yunzhou have already starved to death......"

“……”

The civil and military officials of the court offered suggestions one after another, but Wei Lianyi was not satisfied.

Either way, it takes a long time or has great drawbacks.

"I'll put this matter on hold for now, I'll think about it for a day, and I'll make a decision tomorrow."

"Retreat!"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Wei Lianyi walked out of the Taihe Hall in a bad mood and walked in the direction of the Heart Cultivation Palace.

"Everybody out."

Su Yu didn't wait long in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and Wei Lianyi came to this side in the morning.

After seeing Su Yu, Wei Lianyi immediately ordered the father-in-law and palace maid in the palace to leave.

After the palace maids left, Wei Lianyi couldn't help asking, "What's going on?" ”

Facing Wei Lianyi's gaze, Su Yu nodded, and then said, "Fortunately, I don't disgrace my life!" Song Jingfu has been killed by me. ”

Hearing Su Yu's words, Wei Lianyi's eyes couldn't help but light up, and his pretty face looked a little excited.

Song Jingfu, as the main person who plotted rebellion at the beginning, picked two transcendent forces one after another, which can be said to have become a big problem for her.

Now hearing Su Yu say that Song Jingfu has died, this undoubtedly gave her a big surprise.

"Why didn't you come to tell me about this last night?"

Wei Lianyi glanced at him dissatisfied, and then said.

When Su Yu heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Yesterday, in order to deal with Song Jingfu, he could be said to have tensed his nerves and did not dare to make the slightest mistake.

Afterwards, the tight heartstrings were finally relaxed, and all he could feel was tiredness.

Even the surprise of the fourth piece of Heavenly Dao Jade that he had just gotten couldn't suppress his exhaustion, and he fell directly on the bed and fell asleep deeply, how could he have the heart to report to Wei Lianyi.

And after the huge movement last night, Wei Lianyi was worried that he didn't sleep all night.

She desperately wanted to know what the situation was and whether Su Yu was in danger.

Now seeing Su Yu appear here, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

No matter what the outcome is, Su Yu is here, at least there is still room for everything to turn around.

Su Yu explained: "In order to deal with Song Jingfu, I spent a lot of energy, after the battle last night, I felt as if my body was hollowed out, and then I fell asleep on the bed. ”

Hearing Su Yu's explanation, Wei Lianyi couldn't help asking, "Tell me what happened last night." ”

Su Yu nodded, and then told Wei Lianyi everything that had happened after leaving the auction house.

When he heard Su Yu say that Song Jingfu used the teleportation method in his hand to teleport away the piece of Heavenly Dao Jade with the ability to fix himself before he died, Wei Lianyi couldn't help frowning.

"In your opinion, where will Song Jingfu teleport this piece of Heavenly Dao Jade?"

Wei Lianyi couldn't help frowning and asked, "This old thing is dying, and he hasn't forgotten to stumble on you." ”

"If he teleports that piece of Heavenly Dao Jade to some unknown demon beast forest, or into the sea, then if we want to find that piece of Heavenly Dao Jade, I'm afraid it will be a needle in a haystack."

When Su Yu heard this, he shook his head and said with a smile: "No, the piece in Song Jingfu's hand that can be used to transmit gossip has been studied by me." ”

"Oh?"

Wei Lianyi raised his eyebrows and said suspiciously: "What do you say?" ”

Facing Wei Lianyi's puzzled gaze, Su Yu explained: "The Bagua Order is a teleportation treasure developed by martial artists in ancient times. ”

"It's very different from the Wanli Teleportation Charm, which is a kind of random teleportation talisman that once used, even the user himself doesn't know where it will be teleported."

"The Bagua Order is a more powerful teleportation treasure, it can set the coordinates in advance, and then when using the Bagua Order, no matter where the user is, he can be teleported to the coordinate location set before."

"In other words, when Song Jingfu teleported that piece of Heavenly Dao Jade away, he must have set the coordinates in advance."

"So he must know who the piece of Heavenly Dao Jade that he teleported away fell into."

"If it is not expected, that piece of Heavenly Dao Jade should still be in the hands of someone in the Nian Organization."

After listening to Su Yu's analysis, Wei Lianyi nodded.

"And what are you going to do?"

Wei Lianyi couldn't help asking.

She had heard Su Yu say that he had spared no effort to obtain the Heavenly Dao Jade because he wanted to find out the secret hidden after all the nine Heavenly Dao Jades had been collected.

Now that a piece of Heavenly Dao Jade in Song Jingfu's hand has been teleported away, it is necessary to find a way to know where this piece of Heavenly Dao Jade has been teleported and who has fallen into it.

Su Yu chuckled and said, "Don't worry about this, if it weren't what I expected, the person in the Nian organization who got the Heavenly Dao Jade would definitely find a way to find out what happened to Song Jingfu." ”

"Maybe he'll come to the door himself."

In Su Yu's opinion, he just had a slower time to get that piece of Heavenly Dao Jade.

Song Jingfu sent the piece of Heavenly Dao jade away, thinking that it was also to remind the other party, and wanted to avenge himself through the other party.

It's just that the other party doesn't know his details, and he doesn't know who he is, and the other party has no clue if he wants to find himself.

If the other party is coming to the door, Su Yu doesn't mind giving him a ride.

This piece of Heavenly Dao Jade will be put aside for the time being, and what Su Yu is thinking about now is how to get the Heavenly Dao Jade in Yuan Xiao's hand.

Yuan Xiao got the Longevity Pill last night, and he thought that in the future, he would definitely not use the Heavenly Dao Jade as timidly as before, resulting in a decrease in his longevity.

And this is in line with Su Yu's plan.

Wanshou Dan can only increase the longevity of more than ten years, if Yuan Xiao wantonly uses the Heavenly Dao Jade in his hand, it is tantamount to digging his own grave.

At the same time, hunting Yuan Xiao is not a difficult thing.

He was going to find an opportunity to go to the Western Zhou Dynasty to release the news, and said that there was a 10,000-year-old medicinal material that had become a fine in such and such a place.

If Yuan Xiao wants to impact the Martial Saint, he will definitely not miss this opportunity.

When the time comes, you can just wait for the rabbit.

"Then you should be careful during this time."

Wei Lianyi frowned slightly, and then said, "I always feel that things are not so simple. ”

"Hmm."

Su Yu nodded, and then smiled: "If there is nothing else, then I want to go back." ”

"Wait."

Wei Lianyi seemed to remember something, and then stopped him.

"Oh?"

Su Yu was puzzled: "Is there anything else?" ”

"That's right."

Wei Lianyi said: "Liangzhou suffered from drought this year, resulting in no harvest for the people, and the imperial court is in urgent need of disaster relief. ”

"And this year, Yunzhou suffered from flooding, and the people's harvest was not good, plus Wei Zhen went north with an army of 300,000 before, and the granary of Yunzhou was almost emptied along the way."

"Now that winter is coming, Liangzhou and Yunzhou all need grain relief from the imperial court."

"But this year's eventful season, as well as the previous theft of the treasury, so that the treasury no longer has any silver to help the victims in the two places."

"I thought about increasing the mining of Yuanjing ore veins, and then exchanging Yuanjing into silver, buying grain in other seven states and transporting it to Liangyun and Liangyun to help the victims."

"But the mining of Yuanjing, plus transportation, is exchanged for silver to buy grain, and then transported to Yunzhou and the two states, it will take at least a month."

"After such a long period of time, at least millions of people will starve to death."

"Not only that, mining a large number of Yuan Crystals will also allow a large number of Yuan Crystals to flow into the rivers and lakes, making the cultivation of martial artists on the rivers and lakes grow rapidly, which is not conducive to the rule of the imperial court."

"As for increasing taxes in other states, and then buying food to provide relief to the victims in the two states, it will also take a lot of time, and it will not be able to quench the thirst of the near future."

"What do you think I'm going to do with this incident?"

After listening to Wei Lianyi's words, the corners of Su Yu's mouth lifted, and he chuckled: "This matter is actually quite easy to do. ”

"Pretty easy?"

Wei Lianyi's face was stunned.

Regarding the relief of the victims of the disaster in the two states, there has been a disturbance in the court this morning.

She also gave her ideas several times before, and now she will make a temporary decision to see if Su Yu has any good ideas that can allow her to skillfully resolve this crisis.

The civil and military officials were all overwhelmed by this matter, but Su Yu said that this matter was very easy to handle, was there any way that he hadn't thought of?

Facing Wei Lianyi's puzzled gaze, Su Yu chuckled and said: "The methods you mentioned are all slow to achieve results, and after you raise enough silver, the people affected by the disaster in the two states have already starved to death, and it has no point in sending food over." ”

"And if you want to raise enough money quickly, you can't get money from the teeth of those ordinary people, these people are also poor, you tax him, maybe he will become a disaster victim next year."

"So if you want to make money, you can only find a way from those gentry."

Wei Lianyi frowned and said, "But how could they obediently take out the money?" If they are forced to be in a hurry, they will definitely take the silver and drag their families to the Western Zhou Dynasty or move to the Northern Qi Dynasty. ”

Su Yu smiled: "Hehe, I just want them to hand over the money willingly." ”

"Think about it, what do you have in your hands?"

Wei Lianyi's face was stunned, what do I have in my hands?

Seeing that Wei Lianyi was still puzzled, Su Yu chuckled and said, "As the empress of the Great Wei, you have the supreme power of life and death, and with power, it is not easy to make money?" ”

And what do these rich people crave the most? They are not short of money, so naturally they lack power"

"We can sell official titles and buy and sell official positions at a clear price."

Wei Lianyi's pretty face changed slightly, and he shook his head and said, "Selling officials? Isn't this nonsense? ”

"If the official position is clearly marked and sold for sale, this Great Wei Kyushu will not be able to make a mess in the future?"

Su Yushu smiled and said: "Selling officials, you don't have to give them real power." ”

Wei Lianyi was puzzled: "If they don't give them real power, can they willingly pay for a fictitious official position?" ”

"Not giving them real power, but it's not completely without benefits."

Su Yu smiled: "We can set up titles from the first to the ninth rank." ”

"I'll give you a sample, the ninth-class title, which can be purchased for only ten taels of silver, and the power of the ninth-class title is to exempt the owner of the ninth-class title from servitude."

"Every year, the official roads are repaired, the city walls are built, and the water conservancy is built, all of which need to be recruited by the people."

"Many gentry of the noble clan would spend a lot of money to give the magistrates to save their children from the pain of forced labor."

"This money is at least no less than a hundred taels of silver."

"Now that the imperial court sells the ninth-class title, he can be exempted from servitude back then, and these dignitaries have to pay obediently, right?"

"As for the eighth-class title, it requires one hundred taels of silver, and you need to buy the ninth-class title on the basis of buying the eighth-class title."

"And the eighth-class knighthood can exempt him from personal lifelong servitude."

"As for the seventh-class title, it will continue to increase, and so on, the first-class title can even give him a gold medal for exemption from death, which can exempt him from capital crimes, and even exempt him from all taxes that he needs to pay in business"

After hearing Su Yu's idea, Wei Lianyi's eyes couldn't help but light up.

The method of selling the official lord that Su Yu said really opened the door for her to make money.

It turns out that it is so easy and simple to have rights and make money?

Wei Lianyi's pretty face was a little excited, and she muttered, "Why didn't I think of this?" ”

"If this method is used, it is completely possible to let the local gentry of the affected scholars obediently pay for the title, and then use the money to buy food to help the victims, and no longer have to find a way to raise food from other places to transport it, which can be described as killing multiple birds with one stone!"

She looked at Su Yu seriously, and said in a deep voice: "Su Yu, thank you, your words can at least save tens of millions of people in Great Wei from hunger and cold." ”

Su Yu smiled: "I just drafted a general direction, and I still need you to implement it, okay, I'll go back first." ”

This is just a solution that a certain emperor who can make money in his previous life came up with.

If he really had to figure it out on his own, he might not have been able to figure it out so quickly.

In order to fight, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty racked his brains to loot money.

Selling his official beard is just one of his means to make money.

Looking at Su Yu's departing back, Wei Lianyi's eyes flashed with an inexplicable abnormality.

Her ascension to the throne, and even the subsequent sitting on the throne, is almost inseparable from Su Yu's advice.

If it weren't for Su Yu, she wouldn't even have a chance to succeed to the throne.

He thinks that the problem is tricky, every time he asks Su Yu, he can always immediately find a good way to help him solve it.

"By the way, there is one more thing, after you go back, find an opportunity to announce the news of your promotion to the Hidden Dragon Realm."

Looking at Su Yu's distant back, Wei Lianyi seemed to remember something, and then reminded.

Su Yu paused, then nodded and smiled: "Okay." ”

When Su Yu walked out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, Wei Lianyi finally withdrew his gaze.

She let Su Yu reveal the cultivation of the Hidden Dragon Realm to the outside world, and she had her own plans.

As the Empress of the Great Wei Dynasty, ordinary people are naturally not worthy of her.

But in the future, if Su Yu's cultivation rises, he will do some things that will cause a sensation in Great Wei and Kyushu.

At that time, she can arrange for the mouthpiece to spread the rumors, and prepare to establish Su Yu as the monarch, so that outsiders will naturally not say anything.

After all, for outsiders, if they have the cultivation of the Hidden Dragon Realm in their twenties, they can't find a few in the whole world.

Wei Lianyi established Su Yu as the monarch, which is a matter of course.

Only in this way can she justifiably give Su Yu the identity of a monarch.

Of course, she is still waiting for the best time.

She believed there would come a day.

"Su Yu, thank you for everything."

Wei Lianyi muttered, and then said loudly: "Come on, quickly summon the six departments to see me!" ”
