As soon as they heard the money, the Taiping Dao people were not good.

Until this moment, Taiping Dao people still remember when they sold 100 billion development bonds three years ago, when they thought they had made a fortune, but who would have thought that money was really unspent!

Especially now that every town in Taiping County has officially entered the third stage of the Taiping world, the entry to this stage is that everyone has a book to read.

But this kind of thing is very expensive.

If literacy alone is true, it really doesn't cost a lot of money, but when you build a school and impart knowledge, you find that this thing is really expensive!

And relying on the common people to farm their own fields, there is a high probability that they will not have this money, which is all a benefit for the congregation. That is, after becoming a member of the Taiping Taoism, after obtaining the approval of Huang Tian, you can get the right to read for free. As long as you actively listen to the sermons of the Yellow Heavens, even if you don't recognize the concept of Taiping Dao from your heart, you can enjoy the treatment of two meals a day.

Although this treatment is not high, it is not starving to death, and it is much better than the outside world. But because of this, there are a lot of lazy people. Many people don't seek to be motivated all day long, but whenever there is a Taiping Taoist preaching, they run over to listen to the sermon.

Other than that, do nothing.

I am very positive about becoming a member of the Taiping Dao, but the reason is not that I recognize the teachings of the Taiping Tao from the bottom of my heart, but that I feel that the official members of the Taiping Dao are better treated.

People who think like this, of course, can't pass Huang Tian's test, and they will fail no matter how many times they join.

Therefore, many people think that this is unreasonable, thinking that this is raising lazy people, this is raising people to waste.

But there are also Taoists who say that in the real world of Datong, how can you not even have such a little mind? There must be anyone who has it, as long as they don't break the law or violate the teachings of Taiping Dao, what's wrong with being lazy? Moreover, it is also a good thing that a large number of unsuitable people can be screened out through simple management and control.

How can a truly like-minded person change his or her mind because of a person who is in charge of food and housing?

The two sides are inseparable!

Whether this is right or not may only be known in the future.

Reading is inherently very expensive, and learning extraordinary knowledge is even more expensive, the cost of various medicinal baths, spiritual rice, and spiritual springs, a person's 100,000 yuan a year is very easy to disappear, just like playing in the water.

And Taiping Dao has 100,000 sect members, and the annual cost of these 100,000 people is easily 10 billion gone.

But the Taiping Dao people think: the value of the flower!

It is this investment of at least 10 billion yuan per year that makes today's Taiping Dao have 30,000 monks and 2,000 warlocks.

It's just that the alchemists and warlocks spend more every year. Fortunately, both the alchemists and the warlocks can go to Yancheng to work and earn money, which can be regarded as subsidizing the family.

Today's Yancheng not only has migrant workers and warlocks from Taiping County, but also several counties that do this.

So much so that many local priests and warlocks felt that those tasks that should have belonged to them had been robbed by foreign warlocks. They also felt that these alien warlocks had reduced the rewards of the mission......

"Yanjun, money is a good thing, the problem is that there is no money!"

"I remember that after the issuance of 100 billion bonds in the first year, my second brother and my third brother and I also planned very seriously, thinking that we must work hard to develop Taiping County in the future and strive to return the money!"

"In the past three years, there have been five counties, and the leylines of each county have been sorted out, there are many plains, the Taoists have personally taken action, and more than one river has been built."

"Moreover, due to the purchase of Yancheng's improved seeds and soil treasures, and also learned Yancheng's farming methods, the average yield per mu has reached eight stones, which is double that of the past, and the income can be said to have increased greatly."

"Coupled with the efforts of Lao Dao and the sect members, the Fu Gong industry has developed into a characteristic of Taiping County."

A fire talisman is refined and sold by himself, and there is a high probability that it can only be sold for 1,000 yuan, while the fire talisman made in Taiping County costs 2,000 yuan, which is still in short supply. The talisman made by Taiping Dao, the same material is of better quality and the price is higher, and now it has slowly become famous, and there are many purchases in Wu, Yue, and even Chu, Xu and Qi in the distance.

Relying on the income from the grain in the fields and the income from the Fu Gong industry, the annual income of Taiping County is now as high as 20 billion yuan, not including the money earned by Taiping Dao people and other Taiping Dao high-level people and the warlocks and monks under them who go to Yancheng to work.

However, Taiping County has been able to develop to this day by relying on 100 billion bonds per year, and Taiping County can't afford to pay it back after selling it!

What's even worse is that the repayment time of the first batch of bonds is five years later, that is, there are still two years to go, and Taiping Road will repay the first phase of 100 billion bonds with interest. At that time, the Taiping Dao people will really have to be ready to sell the Taiping Dao inheritance.

It's a headache to think about!

A moment later, the Taiping Daoist departed.

However, speaking of conscience, Jiang Hua is not optimistic about whether the Taiping Daoist can succeed in this trip.

If all goes well, then it is likely to be a win and then a defeat.

If it doesn't go well, it's defeat!

However, it is better to lose, and only by losing can some thoughts in the hearts of some Taoists be dispelled: That's it? I'll do it too! Isn't this right-handed? That Jiang Hua is just lucky, if I were him, I could do better than him!

After thinking about it, Jiang Hua called Xiao He, and this time they met directly in the Lotus Pond Cave Heaven.

"That's the way it is, what do you think? What do you think we can do about it? ”

"It may take advantage of some of the first moves, and may even occupy several county seats, or take away many people. But it is impossible to completely destroy Hanoi County. ”

"Even if the other party doesn't use off-the-plate tricks all the time, then you can ask for help from the Han family's son-in-law next door, as well as the Zhao family's son-in-law."

"Even if Gongzisi wants to carry out this battle in a dignified manner, then after losing some counties, the ministers can be allowed to move freely, once the ministers pull down their faces, how can these counties resist it?"

"Actually, in the minister's opinion, it is quite good for them to choose a county to practice their ideas, but it is impossible to find an opponent, start a war, or even destroy the opponent through war."

"Chen thinks that we can almost prepare for the aftermath."

"This battle, if it continues to be fought, sooner or later someone will break through the bottom line and directly slaughter ordinary soldiers with the strength of the prime minister, or even plunder ordinary towns. A prime minister is shameless, wouldn't it be easy to rob you of dozens or hundreds of people at a time? ”

In the end, Taiping Dao was not satisfied, Gongzisi was not satisfied, and the people who were watching all day were not satisfied. A hundred schools of thought contended, and they simply became local tyrants who fought each other without a bottom line, if this is the case, we Yancheng will also lose! ”

"However, this battle cannot be left unfought. If they don't fight, they will always fail to recognize themselves. This battle must be fought, both sides will participate in the war, and we will mediate at the right time, so that the two sides can decide the winner or loser in a different way. ”

Jiang Hua nodded slightly, Xiao He's thoughts were similar to his: "Then what kind of way do you think?" ”

"You can make a war between the two sides, just like the old nobles can make a war."

"One side decides the place, the other side decides the time, and then the war is carried out at different levels and on different scales."

"The winner gets certain benefits, and after the battle is over, it lasts for three, five, or ten years, and when the time is up, the two sides can fight again."

For example, the income of Taiping County this year is 20 billion yuan, and if it loses, then it will have to give at least 2 billion yuan to the opposite Hanoi county every year. Hanoi County has a large land and rich foundation, and this year's income has already reached 40 billion yuan, and if Hanoi County loses, it will also take out 10% of its income, which will be 1.4 billion yuan. Until the next battle begins, during which time the loser will be paid the winner! ”

"In addition to the indemnity, the bet can also be some supernatural powers and Taoism."

"As long as both parties are willing, this bet can even be a big brother, and if you lose, you must call the big brother when you win, and admit the other party's ......"

Also, the highest evaluation of the winner when my friends were children is: You are amazing, right?

"There are a lot of benefits to making an appointment." Jiang Hua said.

"With the covenant war, you can develop seriously in peacetime, and whoever dares to break the contract will have to face the punishment of the entire Yancheng."

"Moreover, before the battle comes, it can attract a lot of attention. This kind of gambling covenant war, many people like this, especially when the two sides of the covenant war are nobles and qi refiners, it is even more eye-catching, so that it can develop benignly, instead of always thinking about destroying each other through war. ”

"Then fight!"

"Forget it, I'll hold a meeting later, so that everyone can pay attention to it, this battle can be fought and expanded, but everything must be under control, and you can directly intervene if necessary!"

……

Shudi, Li family

Li Jiaerlang led a big black dog, a slingshot tied to his waist, and a strong bow on his back, and swaggered home.

The Li family is also a doctor's family, and it is not too big or too small to be a serious nobleman, but the Li family Erlang behaves like a wild child, he has been very skinny since he was a child, digging birds' nests in trees and catching fish in the water.

However, the big guys think he's a good boy, because this kid is really good when he meets a monster!

Last year, when the aura fluctuated, a wild boar in a nearby village suddenly became a sperm, just hit and killed a person, and was about to continue the disaster when Li Erlang happened to pass by, and without saying a word, he picked up the slingshot in his arms and gave the wild boar essence.

The slingshot turned golden at that time, and Li Erlang also took out a silver-white marble from his arms, and directly knocked the wild boar essence unconscious, and then, the big black dog rushed up without saying a word.

When he pounced, the big black dog suddenly became several times larger, and it was as big as the big black boar several feet long, and while the wild boar was unprepared, he bit off his neck, and after a while, the big black boar died thoroughly.

Li Jiaerlang left a pork leg for the dead man's family and a pork leg for the village, and the rest was taken back to the Li family by Li Erlang.

Since then, no one has said that Li Erlang is idle and a second-generation gentleman, and he will give a thumbs up when he mentions it, saying that he is a good boy.

"Father, the latest issue of the Yancheng official newspaper has been released, do you want it?"

"Oh? Show me! ”

"I don't know what happened to Yan Jun, I didn't think it was when Yan Jun was still there, but this time he was attacked by a secret method, but his father suddenly began to worry about him."

"Hehe, what's that called, when Jun is still there, he doesn't feel different."

As he spoke, Li Erlang took out a thick stack of books: "I have already read the official newspaper on the road, which says that Yanjun will now get a projection every day and sit on a rocking chair and be carried around the street." ”

"Moreover, Yanjun now summons people of different identities in the Jun's Mansion every afternoon and chats with them to prove that he is indeed not dead."

"However, Yan Jun also admitted that he was really seriously injured by the secret method this time, and he had to slowly recuperate from his injuries next, and he might only be able to deal with political affairs through projection for a long time, and he would be able to parade the streets."

Speaking of this, Li Erlang laughed: "If we go early, maybe we can also see the scene of Yanjun parade on the street!" ”

Hearing this, Father Li gently patted his son's head: "What words?" Can't you say something auspicious? ”

"Okay, let's talk about some auspiciousness, Yanjun Ji people have their own natural appearance, he is a disciple of Mo Sheng, as long as he doesn't die on the spot, then he can't die, Mo Sheng can just take out some treasures or spiritual root fruits, you can save him, and even the foundation will not be affected in any way."

Li Erlang casually picked up a Xuan-level periodical, and finished reading it after a while: "Father, it's too expensive, it's too expensive, and if our family continues like this, we can only use our ancestral property to buy books." ”

"This yellow-level periodical, one copy is only 10,000 yuan in Yancheng, but when it comes to our Shudi, you can't buy it at all, there is no formal way to speak of, you can only buy it from the black market. Even on the black market, not every issue is available and is often out of stock. Even if there is a stock, it will start at 100,000 yuan. ”

"It is estimated that our family buys more than 20 yellow-level journals and three Xuan-level journals every month, and it costs tens of millions of dollars just to buy books in a year."

"However, our family's fiefdom, there is only one county in total, after so many years, there are only twelve towns, father, you pity the people, our family has always been with the people is fifty-five, the average yield per mu in the county can not reach the ten stones of Yancheng, even if our father and son have been governing the water together for so long, it is only five stones per mu, our family's annual income is not as much as it costs to buy periodicals, and if it goes on like this, we can only use the ancestral property......"

"So, let's just go to Yancheng and have a look."

"Yancheng is really a good place, we have been here for three or four years, and we haven't been to Yancheng, every time you want to go, you always have all kinds of excuses, father."

"But what if everything is ready one day in the future, but Yancheng is gone?"

"Let's go, father, now!"

"But what about the people in the fiefdom? We have a lot of demons and monsters in Shudi. ”

"With big brother, what are you afraid of? Anyway, sooner or later, this fiefdom will be passed on to the eldest brother, and you will be regarded as passing the throne to the eldest brother in advance, and he will have to face these sooner or later. ”

"Good!"
