Chapter 169: Mortals, Tremble in the Face of Capital!
Zhao Lei looked at the city wall, and the large number of people who were busy grinning.
Seeing the smile on Zhao Lei's side face, even Guanyin Bodhisattva couldn't help but feel a little creepy.
How insidious and vicious is it to laugh at this kind of smile?
Sure enough, what Zhao Lei said next subverted her three views.
I saw Zhao Lei suddenly take out a few pieces of broken silver: "Do you know what this is?" β
Guanyin Bodhisattva frowned slightly and nodded.
Isn't this the currency that mortals use to trade?
What's so special?
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Lei put away the broken silver and took out a few newly developed banknotes. These banknotes are all processed by mana, which is difficult for ordinary people to copy.
Zhao Lei held the banknote in his hand and continued: "What if this king says that in the near future, this king will use these papers instead of silver? β
Guanyin Bodhisattva heard it in a fog.
Even if she used these papers instead of silver, what did it have to do with her?
What does it have to do with the westward journey?
Guanyin Bodhisattva sighed secretly in his heart, a little tired: "Daoyou, I really can't think of these things, what does it have to do with your enslavement of mortals, and I ask Daoyou to say it." β
Zhao Lei put away the banknotes, smiled knowingly, waved his hand, and motioned to Guanyin Bodhisattva to look at the people in the city: "Fellow Daoist, how do you think the people of this king, the god and tiger country, are living?" β
Guanyin Bodhisattva looked at the people under the city: "Don't hide it from fellow Daoists, in the long years of cultivation in this seat, the people of the Divine Tiger Kingdom are indeed the happiest people in this seat I have ever seen. β
Zhao Lei laughed: "Hahahaha, Daoyou's words are wrong." If that's the case, what the Daoist sees is just the surface. Moreover, this is only the first step of this king. β
"Surface?"
Guanyin Bodhisattva is still in the clouds.
Surface?
The first step?
Zhao Lei nodded and put his hands behind his back: "That's right, what Daoyou saw was the people living with smiles on their faces, which seemed to be very happy, but this was also the first step that this king used to confuse them." Why don't you try to see through the essence? What are mortals really doing? β
Guanyin Bodhisattva frowned and looked at the people under the city again.
He saw vendors in the street drinking.
There is a shop boy who is pulling customers.
Someone is entertaining customers.
There are vendors congratulating each other, being polite, and so on.
Her frowning brow slowly stretched, and she suddenly noticed something! That is, most of the people are actually working! Guanyin Bodhisattva and the others looked at Zhao Lei with big eyes, as if they wanted to ask her if her guess was correct or not: "They are all ......"
Without waiting for her to finish, Zhao Lei nodded and said, "Yes, don't look at these mortals with happy faces." In fact, they are all working hard and trying to find money. And the reason why they are full of happiness is because this king gave them hope. Let them have a path to a fulfilling life. β
At this moment, Guanyin Bodhisattva was even more confused.
Isn't that great?
After all, in the mortal world now, it is already very good to be able to eat enough, not to mention that you can live a happier life?
Zhao Lei didn't let her wait too long, and suddenly smiled politely: "But is the road of a happy life really so easy to lead?" β
Seeing Zhao Lei's treacherous smile, Guanyin Bodhisattva was a little suffocated.
Zhao Lei continued to laugh and said: "The first step of this king is to give them hope. And the second step is to let the people really realize how far away this happy life is!
If they want to pursue a better and better quality of life, they must keep working and making money!
Fellow Daoist, look there. β
The direction Zhao Lei pointed to was a place where a house was being built.
Zhao Lei led the puzzled Guanyin Bodhisattva, looked at the site, and continued: "Those are the latest cement houses launched by this king. Whether it is beautiful or practical, the quality is several times higher than that of the current house! The price has also multiplied several times!
This king will make the people of the entire Shenhu Kingdom form a concept, that is, only if you live in such a good cement house, then you can be regarded as a human being! will be looked down upon!
And these cement houses, with the passage of time, the price will only get higher and higher!
If the common people want to get this kind of cement house, they can only spend a lifetime working and making money!
And what this king needs to pay is only the same land and the same building materials!
Fellow Daoists, look at it again. β
This time, Zhao Lei asked Guanyin Bodhisattva to see a clothing store that sold clothing.
However, what is sold in the clothing store is obviously not a style that belongs to this era, and the fabric is not forbidden, and the word 'Guchi' is sewn on the fabric.
"Before the establishment of the Divine Tiger Kingdom, the pursuit of the people was only to dress warmly. But now? Now it's more than just getting warm! This king also wants everyone to form a concept, that is, to dress well and dress beautifully!
From the bottom of the day, it would be a shame to go out without wearing such clothes!
And what does this king need to pay?
Less fabric, and just two words sewn! The price can be multiplied countless times! β
"Hahaha! And this concept of consumption will soon spread throughout the entire Shenhu Country! Let mortals have endless desires! Let mortals have to work hard to make money for this king in order to pursue a better life!
In the end, even if they even marry a wife and have children, mortals have to prepare a large fortune to do so!
Hahaha!
And what does the king have to pay for all this?
It's just some randomly printed banknotes! Hahaha! Fellow Daoist, you say, isn't this the best way to enslave mortals?! As long as the paper money is given enough, in the end, mortals will even dare to slaughter the gods for these worthless paper money! Fellow Daoist, do you still question that this king is not enslaving them? β
The words fell.
The surrounding environment seemed to be responding to the atmosphere created by Zhao Lei, and suddenly darkened.
Then thousands of light bulbs in the Divine Tiger Kingdom lit up at the same time at this moment!
It was also the first time that Guanyin Bodhisattva had seen such a splendid scene.
Her expression became a little exciting.
Zhao Lei on the side continued to introduce: "These are also gadgets that this king ordered people to make up. It's ridiculous that this group of mortals thought that the king had created these gadgets so that they could be lit at night and improve their quality of life. As everyone knows, this king is to let everyone from now on, be able to work for this king for twelve hours without interruption!
Hahaha!
This king wants everyone to know that 007 is a blessing! β
Although Guanyin Bodhisattva had been shocked by Zhao Lei's remarks, he still subconsciously asked: "Zero...... Zero seven? β
Zhao Lei looked at Guanyin Bodhisattva with a playful face: "It's every day from ugly time, working until noon, seven days a week, all year round!" This king has to let these stupid mortals know that having this opportunity to work hard for this king is a blessing they have cultivated in a few lifetimes, hahahahahaha! β
Hear here.
Guanyin Bodhisattva couldn't help but gasp!
Just imagine, if the Buddha told her to let her watch over the mortal world for twelve hours a day, and give her a little merit every month as a reward, for ten thousand years, as long as she thought about it, she would feel broken!
After Guanyin Bodhisattva listened to Zhao Lei's overall plan, she couldn't help but feel a chill in her back.
Zhao Lei is now in her mind, and has been engraved with various labels such as insidious and cunning, scheming, etc.
And a conclusion was drawn.
This son is terrifying!
Hissβββ!!!
Zhao Lei wiped the tears that were laughing until he cried, then restrained his emotions, and said to Guanyin Bodhisattva with a kind face: "Therefore, Daoyou, this king's grand wish to benefit the people has no conflict with your westward journey. Although on the surface this king is benefiting all peoples, in reality, this king is enslaving them.
When the westwalkers come to the kingdom of this king, you only need to tell them the truth and let them come to the rescue of the people. At that time, Daoists will be able to reap a lot of merits, what do Daoists think? β
Guanyin took a deep breath.
Ease your shock a little.
I have to say that Zhao Lei's plan is comprehensive.
It does not affect her great ambition, but also perfectly helps her lay out the westward journey, she really can't find a reason to refuse Zhao Lei.
After thinking for a moment, Guanyin Bodhisattva regained his calm face and folded his hands: "Amitabha, then this seat is here to thank you first." β
Zhao Lei also nodded with satisfaction: "Good~"
After understanding the problems of the Divine Tiger Kingdom, Guanyin Bodhisattva flew back to the Chaoyin Cave of Luojia Mountain in Putuo in the South China Sea with her lotus flower.
On Zhao Lei's side, he summoned the Long Live Fox King, the Jade-faced Fox, the White Deer and the Black Sheep to the palace hall to discuss major matters......
β¦β¦
Palace.
In the main hall.
After receiving Zhao Lei's summons.
Long live the fox king, the jade-faced fox, the white deer and the black sheep, and hurried to the main hall.
As soon as he stepped into the main hall, the Long Live Fox King hurriedly strode towards Zhao Lei.
Zhao Lei also stepped forward to greet everyone.
"Virtuous son-in-law! My good son-in-law! What do you think? Guanyin Bodhisattva, is she gone? How's your situation? Has our plan been debunked? β
Long live the fox king's mouth asked a lot of questions.
Zhao Lei didn't know how to answer him, so he could only hold the arms of the Long Live Fox King and seriously comfort: "Father, don't worry, it's okay." I have everything for me. β
Long live the fox king was stunned.
Even Zhao Lei's cultivation is still very poor.
But Zhao Lei's series of behaviors after leaving the customs, coupled with his current performance, made the Long Live Fox King feel at ease instantly.
Long Live the Fox King smiled comfortingly, then nodded.
Zhao Lei crossed the Long Live Fox King and came to the jade-faced fox.
Look at each other for a moment.
The two sides hugged each other fiercely.
He didn't say anything, but tears flowed from the corners of the jade-faced fox's eyes.
During this time, I was really worried about her.
After hugging her for a while, Zhao Lei let go of her.
Zhao Lei, who is two meters tall, wiped the tears on his face from the jade-faced fox of one meter seven.
At this moment, they are really talented and beautiful, and they are not worthy of it.
While wiping away tears, Zhao Lei said in a magnetic voice: "Don't worry, it's okay." Everything has me. β
The jade-faced fox smiled and nodded.
I was so moved.
Then, he crossed the jade-faced fox and came to the white deer and the black sheep.
"Big brother!"
"Big brother!"
didn't say anything, Zhao Lei directly gave each of the two brothers a bear hug.
After letting go of the two, Zhao Lei looked up and down and looked at the two with great satisfaction.
During the year of retreat, Bailu and Heiyang also successfully entered the realm of refining and refining Qi, and with the bonus of the Five Thunder Righteous Method, they can be regarded as the top existence among the little demons.
"Very nice! The two of you really didn't disappoint my eldest brother! β
With Zhao Lei's approval, Bailu and Heiyang were also very excited.
After a little pulling.
The party finally got to the point.
Zhao Lei told the few people present about what happened and the westward trip, which made the reactions of several people shocked again and again: "That's the way it is." Remember, this matter can only be known to a few of us here, and it must not be revealed! β
Matters related to the overall situation of the Three Realms, Long Live Fox King and the others had to nod cautiously.
After agreeing, Long Live Fox King sighed again.
He didn't expect that all the top figures in the Three Realms would have this attitude.
But it's right to think about it, these top people have lived so many yuanhui, how can they care about everything?
As for the westward journey......
In fact, it was not a secret that the world would be destroyed when the Yuan Society ended, but he didn't expect that Guanyin Bodhisattva would be the lucky one elected by those top existences.
I didn't expect the other party to have laid out so many years ago.
Even Monkey King is one of their pawns.
No wonder the monkey made trouble in the Heavenly Palace back then, and he was able to escape with his whole body......
After sighing, when the Long Live Fox King looked at Zhao Lei again, his face was full of complicated expressions. He was very relieved that Zhao Lei, his son-in-law, was very filial and determined to renew his life.
He was also guilty.
Because to renew his life, it will cause a lot of trouble.
He is an old guy who has lived for nearly 10,000 years, and he still has to bring trouble to his younger generations, and he is really a little unhappy.
He began to consider whether to sacrifice himself in exchange for the happy life of Zhao Lei and his daughter.
Long live the fox king thought here.
Zhao Lei seemed to see the thoughts of the Long Live Fox King next to him, and directly interrupted: "Father, you don't have to think too much. There's no need to think about what you don't have. The resentment accumulated by those immortals for so long is definitely not something that can be quelled with a single life, father.
Since they have chosen to put pressure on Taishang Laojun.
That means your death doesn't really matter to them.
All they care about is whether their purpose will succeed or not.
Therefore, even if you choose to sacrifice, father, as long as the goal has not been achieved one day, the group of immortals will not let go of the branch of father, you and Yu'er.
The only thing we can do is fight them to the end! β
Long live the fox king was stunned.
Originally, he wanted to say something, but he also understood that what Zhao Lei said was very reasonable.
did not refuse Zhao Lei's kindness again.
But he soon became worried again.
Can they compete with the immortals and gods to the end?
Zhao Lei seemed to see his thoughts, and comforted again: "Father, don't worry. With my current qualifications, the entire Three Realms can be said to have absolutely nothing. As long as I am given a certain amount of time, no one in the Three Realms will be my opponent anymore. I'm going to be able to take care of our family. β
Seeing Zhao Lei so resolute.
Long Live the Fox King had no choice but to nod and no longer persuade each other......
