Volume 5 The Sea and the Sky Chapter 27 The Autonomous Council (II)
However, as Xie Tang expected, Xu Hu had no intention of fighting for inheritance rights at all, and ran to the Tianhe camp at a critical moment, nominally as an "overseer", but in fact, to avoid these chaotic things. Meng Rong had nowhere to hide, so he simply played it and automatically gave up the inheritance of Shangqingtian.
Emperor Taiqing was a little embarrassed. If it is exactly according to his meaning, no one should worry about this Shangqing Tian, since the people of the Meng family don't want it, then it will be owned by the Immortal Court, and the annual income will also belong to the Immortal Court. In fact, it was put into his own pocket. But the emperor can't be like this, he has more than 100 Huangzhuang in the entire fairy world, although they are not in the ranking of "three days and six sources, twelve continents overseas, and thirty-six mountains in the United States", but that piece is not worse than these places, if he occupies another Shangqing sky, and does not give any "oil and water" to the people below, this emperor will not be able to sit steadily.
It's just that the four great halls are arguing endlessly, and each of them represents a force, and giving Shangqing Heaven to any force will break this balance. The way to be an emperor lies in this balance, and the forces under him control each other. Emperor Taiqing was really in trouble, and he secretly scolded Xu Hu in his heart for not being angry, why not take this opportunity to lay a little foundation for himself first?
Luo Qian didn't know what was going on with his eldest brother, so he found Du Condensing, and the two of them leisurely cultivated in the heavens of Shangqing. Li Xuexuan came to accompany him, saved his father and daughter, and occasionally brought some mountain treasures to visit. Luo Qianjing waited for the Immortal Court to decide the ownership of Shangqing Heaven, and then paid the money to buy the land. The Immortal Court has not been decided, and Luo Qian decided to take this opportunity to take a trip
The large number of materials brought back from the Holy Realm need to be identified by the two masters, the rough old man and Xin Yezi, to see what the materials are. If the Immortal Realm also has this kind of material, it can be smuggled from the Immortal Realm to the Saint Realm. It's a lucrative business. In a trance, Luo Qian returned to the role of the smuggler who traveled between the two worlds.
Under the auspices of the rough old man, the mountain palace has been opened to seven floors, looking at the meaning of the rough old, even so, the place is a little insufficient. His old man deliberately imitated the underworld and made an eighteenth layer out. Only those five designers were rescued, and Luo Qian was rescued from the underworld, and entered another "underworld".
Luo Qian, accompanied by the old man, went down the stairs all the way down the third floor, and felt a little impatient: "Old man, why don't you install an elevator?" "Elevator?" The skyscraper in the sky of Yuqing, the Roche Yunding on the source of Zhenhua. Although they are all tall, the immortals are flying in and out, and they don't need any elevators at all, but the underground palace is different, and it is really troublesome to go down one step at a time.
Luo Qian told him the basic idea of the elevator, and the rough old man frowned: "This." The energy of lightning is very large, I'm afraid your power generation box can't be driven, right?" Luo Qian also thought so, the power generation box developed in order to drive things like notes back then, although it was easy to carry, but the voltage was low. current, some large ones can't be applied.
"Rough old man, why don't you help improve it?" The rough old man patted his chest: "No problem, but you need to find me a cultivator who specializes in thunder and lightning spells to help." Luo Qian also agreed: "Okay." ”
He took out the precious materials he had bought from the Holy Realm, one gram or two of them, and transplanted them into a palm-sized cloth bag, which contained a bag as if it were rice. He fell on the table in an uproar, and made the rough old man and Xin Yezi happy: "Luo." Where did you get such materials?" Luo Qian thought of the face of the shopkeeper in the Holy Realm, and said angrily: "Don't worry about this, you just need to distinguish it and see what it is." ”
Afraid that there would be more than a hundred kinds of materials on the table, Xin Yezi twisted one and looked at the light: "Luo, if it is an ordinary material, we can recognize it at a glance, but cherishing the material is different, not only is it difficult to identify." And it's easy to get confused. We also have some work to do to identify it. The rough old man also nodded. Luo Qian said: "Then you will identify it first, and if there is any result, call me." The rough old man began to complain: "We still have a lot of work: the magic cannon to support the Demon Realm, the weapons of the God Realm, the Shangqing Heaven and Earth Building, the books of the Luo Bookstore, and the power generation box you asked me to improve just now...... There are so many things. I'm afraid I won't be able to identify these things for you for a while. ”
Luo Qian thought about it in his heart: It's really a lot. "Alright then, you guys take your time, there's no rush on this matter anyway. ”
If you want a horse to run, you have to feed more grass. Luo Qian in; The reward of 1,000 high-grade immortal jade, as for the two masters, the rough old man and Xin Yezi, the villa in the Yuqing Heaven, each gave a set.
Back in Shangqing Tian, there happened to be someone waiting for him. "Lord Luo, you can come back, let's break our family into the palace......" The voice was soft and the face was white and tender, it was the palace man who had not collected the benefits of Luo Qian. Xu Hu hid in the Tianhe camp, so this errand fell on his head. Luo Qian didn't understand, he was pulled aside by the palace people, and hurriedly asked, "Father-in-law, what is the matter with Your Majesty looking for me?" "Lord Luo, it's not that our family doesn't say it, and neither does our family."
。 Your Majesty has not been in a good mood lately, so when you reply, you should add some more
—
If you are the boss, your four King Kongs are noisy all day long, carrying knives bare-chested, and you may be angry at any time, and your mood will not be too good. The situation in which Emperor Taiqing was in was much more complicated than this, so he was in a worse mood.
"Luo Dadong's family is so difficult to invite, I have to wait for you every time. There was a lot of dissatisfaction in Emperor Taiqing's words. Luo Qian was silent, touched what he touched on his body, felt something out, and presented it with both hands.
Emperor Taiqing frowned: "What is this?" "Your Majesty, this is the communication conch produced by Weichen's company, if you have something to summon Weichen, just call a certain channel, and Weichen will appear in front of you immediately, and you will be invalid and refunded......"
Emperor Taiqing couldn't help but say: "Forget it, I'm in a bad mood, but I won't be angry with others." Get up and talk. "Yes. Luo Qian breathed a sigh of relief. Emperor Taiqing knocked on the table, and there were four stacks of music on it: "Luo Qian, I came to you today because you are now a member of Shangqing Tian, I want to hear your opinions, the merchants of Shangqing Tian, who wants to be in charge." ”
"The four major halls are all sparse, and they have recommended their own candidates for the Shangqing Heaven to take over, these days, my ears have not been quiet, for the sake of this benefit, they are making a lot of trouble, alas!"
Luo Qianxin said, last time you said that I experienced the riots in Shangqing Tian, and asked me to evaluate the incident; this time you said that I was a member of Shangqing Tian, and you also asked me to choose who to be in charge of and how to push all the problems on me? Emperor Taiqing actually has no choice, he is indeed difficult to decide, even if he is an immortal emperor, he is also an immortal after all, in this case, people often want to get the opinion of their friends. Friends of the Taiqing Emperor, count it all over and down, and you can't use up a slap: the mysterious colorful beauty on the mountain counts one, the Tianhe Dragon Emperor counts one, Xu Hu counts half, and Luo Qian counts one.
These government affairs, there is no way to discuss with confidants, and the colorful beauties are discharged. Although the Dragon Emperor was his friend, both of them were classified as monarchs, and he asked Emperor Taiqing to ask the Dragon Emperor about government affairs, and he couldn't afford to lose this person. Xu Hu hid far away, and only Luo Qian was left. Therefore, Luo Qian, a person who could not have been consulted, automatically took the position because all the "competitors" were not qualified to bid.
After Emperor Taiqing finished speaking, he looked at Luo Qian expectantly. Luo Qian smiled bitterly: "Shangqing Tian's merchants, what kind of people do you like to be managed......" He had an idea, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, I am now a merchant, the owner of the Luo family, not your Qin Prison Captain, this matter, I am arrogant, you are arrogant, if you are not satisfied with anything, just let me say nothing, okay?" "Zhun Song, I forgive you for your innocence, say it." ”
"You ask the minister, what kind of people do the merchants of Shangqing Heaven want to be managed. In fact, no matter which merchant does not like to be managed, what we like the most is that we manage ourselves. If His Majesty really can't determine the successor, you might as well let him hang for the time being. The merchants of Shangqing Heaven can form their own chamber of commerce, pay taxes to the Immortal Court on a monthly basis, and settle everything between the merchants by themselves, do you think this is okay?"
Emperor Taiqing touched his chin: This idea sounds a bit bold at first glance, but it doesn't seem to be impossible to think about it. The Immortal Court does not have to be responsible for Shangqing Tian, but it can still collect taxes. It also avoided the struggle of the four major forces, and left them with nothing to say.
"The people of Shangqing Heaven govern Shangqing Tian. Luo Qian said: "Shut up the mouths of people with ulterior motives." He smiled bitterly again: "But Your Majesty, if, I mean if, you decide to adopt this suggestion, can you not mention my Luo Qian? This idea was come up with by your own majesty, Wise Shenwu and Yao Shunyu Tang." ”
Emperor Taiqing smiled dumbly: "Quasi-play." But Luo Qian, do you want me to help you get elected as the president of that chamber of commerce?" Luo Qian shook his head: "Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about it, with my status in the fairy world business world today, who would dare to be the president of this president besides me?"
On the second day, Emperor Taiqing announced: the owner of Shangqing Heaven is temporarily suspended, Shangqing Heaven is autonomous, the Chamber of Commerce is formed, the president and directors are elected, all affairs are voted by the Chamber of Commerce, and the Xianting Court grants the Chamber of Commerce the right to collect taxes, but 95% of the taxes are handed over to the Xianting, and the remaining 5% is used for the daily maintenance expenses of the Chamber of Commerce.
