Chapter 326: The White Lady
Although prisoners, sons-in-law, and merchants can be requisitioned, such as those with very low social status, there must always be food. If the food is not enough, the taxes must be increased, and the people of the Qin State are better, and they have long been accustomed to heavy donations and heavy taxes, but the Six Kingdoms are different, most of them are areas of commercial prosperity, and the living conditions are relatively high.
In fact, in the end, it was the people of the Six Kingdoms who rose up to resist, especially the Chu State, and there have long been rumors that 'although Chu has three households, if Qin dies, Chu will die'. Military service and conscription are all unpaid, and with the addition of taxes, the common people will not be able to live? If they cannot survive, they will have to flee to the mountains to become vagrants and thieves, and the abandonment of fields has become a vicious circle.
In fact, simple political experiences such as lightly repaying and meager endowments did not exist at that time, and these were all lessons summed up after the death of Qin. In other words, Emperor Hui of the Jin Dynasty, who was going to encounter 'why not eat minced meat,' did not know the suffering of the people at all, so how could he divide the importance of it? Or like the late Ming Dynasty, the treasury was empty, and there were internal and external troubles, and there was no other way to raise taxes.
In all fairness, the pins are sharp, and the famous city is blameless, which is somewhat similar to the storage of swords and guns of King Wu of Zhou and the release of horses in Nanshan. However, King Wu of Zhou wants to cultivate the text and no longer fight. Qin Shi Huang still had to fight in the south and in the north, but the people were powerless to resist.
The immortals said that it was a pity that you built so many palaces and were idle, and the people's resentment boiled due to such endless requisition and labor, and sooner or later something would happen. Now it's best to move the nobles of the Six Kingdoms to Guanzhong and let them buy your palace.
First, these palaces are built in imitation of the palaces of the Six Kingdoms, and letting them live in them can reduce homesickness. Second, the nobles of the six countries all maintained the atmosphere of the Warring States Warriors, and the dragons and snakes under their subordinates were mixed, which was the source of the disaster. Let them buy more houses and have no money to support their soldiers, and they can eliminate the evil.
Qin Shi Huang refused to agree, his palace was all admired by himself, and even if he couldn't live in it, he didn't allow others to touch it. It's all a collection habit to take for granted. As for the hidden danger of turmoil in the world, it is not enough to worry, it has only been more than ten years since the unification of the world, and the army of the Qin Dynasty is still very strong. Recently, there have been rumors of the Warlock that there is a genius in the southeast, and he plans to go out on a parade to suppress this restless sign.
The immortals also had many ideas to ease the situation. But Qin Shi Huang refused to accept it, and he had no intention of listening, and of course the meeting broke up unhappily.
............
The hustle and bustle of the day finally fell silent, and the gold diggers were guarded separately. It is said that the next day the spiritual power will be sealed by the people of the Imperial Palace, so that they will not be willing to lie in wait and cause trouble.
The Imperial Palace is undoubtedly a god-like existence, with a supreme position in the Qin Palace, and even the First Emperor treats him with courtesy. As for them, they are the rulers of the spiritual map. It is not known whether he is a cultivator who entered the spiritual map first.
What is certain is that it is a very tight organization and has unrivalled control over the empire.
At night, dozens of people were crammed together in a simple house, with thatched mats on the floor, and the stench in the room was, and of course there was no bedding.
There were a few big-footed women sitting by the door, very unfriendly, and if anyone dared to whisper, they would rush up and punch and kick each other. In addition to the guards, there are sky lanterns and copper pillars arranged in the Imperial Palace. It's hard to escape. In order to avoid the humiliation of these simple women, everyone had to swallow their anger and lie down on the wet and cold straw mat and be relatively speechless.
The dilapidated windows shone in some thin moonlight, a faint oil lamp burned by the door, and the woman swept around with her ghostly eyes.
Yan Qiuqing pillowed her arm, dragged Yan Shunying's jade hand and slowly scratched it in her palm: "What should I do?"
Yan Shunying is also at a loss. It's not that she's afraid of this little sky lantern, it's just that the Imperial Palace has vast magical powers, and it will be difficult to do it alone. But if this momentum continues, the Golden Crow Yuan Dan will definitely be in their pockets. In the end, the heavy armor is beyond the reach of others. After thinking about it for a long time, I wrote four words on Yan Qiuqing's hand, "Wait and see what happens."
Yan Qiuqing was disappointed, and she scratched it a little bit, and couldn't help but laugh.
This time it stabbed the hornet's nest, and the woman on guard stood up with an oil lamp and rushed over. He said in a rough voice: "What are you laughing at, what's so funny." You country. Thinking about it, she also knew in her heart, knowing that her face was hateful, and when she heard any changes, she suspected that she was laughing at her.
Yan Qiuqing is a mortal born person, she has learned martial arts since she was a child, and the Taoism may be inferior, but she has practiced kung fu since she was a child, and she pounced on the woman and stretched out her leg to cut it dexterously under her feet, the woman stood unsteadily, and the sound of 'ouch' pressed on several female monks, the oil lamp knocked over to the ground, and the grass mat burned quickly.
Everyone panicked, and you couldn't help but push me and fight to escape. The woman was born fat, and was pushed by the friars, intentionally or unintentionally, and could not get up for a long time, but the hem of her clothes was burned by the oil fire, and she immediately shouted in terror.
Several of her companions were lying on the side, waiting for the night to rotate, when they were disturbed and woke up one after another, and when they saw that the situation was not good, they hurriedly rushed to the door of the house and called out to the guards.
"Sisters, let's do it, we cultivators are not easy to bully. ”
Everyone had already held a resentment in their stomachs, and when they saw the fire burning, a kind of happiness rose in their chests, not only did they not fight the fire, but threw all the straw mats into the fire, and there was a shout of extraordinary martial arts that kicked over the doors and windows, and the palace courtyard set fire.
When the guards heard this, they rushed to the scene and said in astonishment: "Do you want to rebel? Whoever dares to resist will be killed." ”
Everyone's eyes lit up, Qin Shi Huang was surprisingly strict with the control of gold and iron, although the people could chop wood for soldiers and unveil the pole for flags, but this dilapidated palace did not even have a decent wooden pole, and even if there were, it was not as good as the blade. These guards couldn't have been better with swords.
"Sisters, the weapons are here. ”
Yan Qiuqing raised her voice and smiled, rushed to the front, made a move of entering the white blade empty-handed, grabbed the wristguard of a guard and slammed it, the man screamed, the long knife fell out of his hand, Yan Qiuqing grabbed it casually, and the dancing tiger and tiger were angry, and killed several people in a blink of an eye.
Mingqin spread his wings and flew to a high place, looking from all sides. Most of the houses here are made of wood, which is highly flammable. The guards outside are all guards of the Shaofu, and the combat power is not strong, even if the monks do not use their spiritual power, it is enough to support, but if they alarm the guards of the Imperial God Palace and the Qin Palace, it will not end well.
He squatted on the eaves and sighed repeatedly, and there was a meow in his ears, and a white raccoon slave jumped on the roof with agility to see the fierce fight in the courtyard. He looked at Ming Qin again, and the dark cat's eyes showed a misty color.
"Where did the wild cats come from?" Mingqin wondered.
The tanuki seemed to be very interested in Mingchin's changing parrot, and walked towards him, meowing twice. As if to whisper to reassure him not to be afraid.
Mingqin laughed and laughed, but it was in a hurry, and quickly flew up and jumped down on its head, and the tanuki slave seemed to be very intelligent, stretching out his fluffy claws and scratching back and forth on the top of his head.
"Xiao Chang—"
With a soft call. The white shadow on the roof flashed, revealing a beautiful woman in a cloud dress.
Ming Qin was slightly surprised, this girl was wearing a snow-white dress, beautiful and impeccable. Strangely, there was a sense of déjà vu that made him secretly wonder.
The tanuki glanced back at her, and reached for the parrot above her head, when suddenly one foot slipped and fell to the sky, and his limbs were scratching, and he was overjoyed.
"Xiao Chang. Let's go back with the master. ”
The girl jumped forward and lightly hugged the tanuki slave into her arms, the tanuki struggled twice, the halo on her body flowed, and suddenly turned into a five or six-year-old little girl, stretched out her hand at Ming Qin, and shouted anxiously: "I want to play...... Meow ......"
Mingqin was stunned, and he didn't know if this was a girl turned into a kitten, or a kitten turned into a girl.
The girl sighed helplessly and stared at Ming Qin carefully. He frowned and said, "You're wise, aren't you?"
Ming Qin was a little surprised, although Yan Qiuqing's three daughters all knew that he had spiritual intelligence, it was that he deliberately revealed it, and almost everyone who traveled with him regarded him as a spiritual pet. I didn't expect this girl to be able to see through it at a glance.
"Don't be afraid. Actually, we are all the same kind. The girl showed a hint of amazement, and said in a soothing tone, "How many years have you been cultivating?"
Ming Qin's mind flickered, knowing that this girl was most likely a figure from the Imperial Divine Palace, and now the cultivators of the entire Qin Dynasty were under the control of the Imperial Divine Palace, if she wasn't a person from the Imperial Divine Palace, it would be impossible for her to act so freely.
The two of them got closer. Ming Qin saw that this girl had a good appearance and a noble temperament, and she was very similar to the senior sister in her impression, so it was no wonder that she was a little familiar. In addition to Jing Meiwei, his master also has two apprentices, but they have only met once when they were young, and it is said that they have both served in the heavenly realm, and they have rarely seen each other for many years.
Of course, this is also the distance between the heavenly realm and the mortal world, and it is not very convenient to move around, and besides, 'one day in the sky, one year on the earth', the immortal family has a long life, and in order to practice more restraint**, it is not as profound as the feeling of parting among mortals.
When Ming Qin was a child, he always thought that he was a fox like his master, but later he became more sensible and slowly realized that things were not as he imagined.
............
Once the demons have spiritual wisdom and know how to practice, they are very close to humans, not only mixed in the world, but few people can distinguish between them, including language, writing, life, and habits, and the difference between humans and demons is not even as great as that of region and race.
To be precise, the demons, as the remnants of the four spirits, have long since perished. Since the six demon gods and the nine golden crows were shot and killed by Dayi, Di Jun's abdication also made the four spirits lose their strong support, Di Jun is extremely dependent on the Yu clan, whether it is to compete with Xingtian Honglie for the God Emperor, or to divide the galaxy with the Earth Emperor Zulong, the four spirits with the Yu clan as the backbone have given him great support. The two have long become an inseparable community of interests.
The prosperity of the human race is the most powerful support of Taiqing Laozi, he was originally the patron saint of the water tribe, the last of the four gods, and the heir to the mantle Zhuang Zhou is actually the queen of the sea emperor, so he will say that he is willing to drag the tail of the old turtle in the mud. Taiqing Laozi IX reincarnated, acting as the emperor's teacher, it can really be said that he has a unique eye, after the human race dominates the Three Realms, he is also the head of the Three Qings, the new generation of Dao Ancestor, the master of the four heavenly masters, and the dignity of status is only afraid that the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother of the West will be slightly inferior.
Comparatively, the four spirits are indeed much stronger than human beings, not only the strongest human beings are difficult to match, but also the intelligence of the Dragon Horse River Map, the Divine Turtle Luo Shu, the Phoenix Dan Zhao Tianshu and the Pixiu Diagram White Tiger Xuanjie. It may be that ruling the Three Realms for 160 million years is too long, and after a catastrophe of heaven and earth, it will finally disappear.
The holy kings of the human race, Fuxi, Xia Yu, Shang Tang, and King Wen, obtained the four spirits, these supernatural maps, and continued to grow and increase, although they only ruled for thousands of years, the immortal road Changming has its own place that cannot be underestimated.
Since Dayi eliminated the six demon gods, the demon clan is declining, who knows that people are not as good as heaven, Emperor Shun exiled the four fierce guards to the four yi, these four people hit it off with the demon clan, and turned into a new saint who dominates the demon clan. It is the lion king Qiqi, the Peng Demon King, the Yu Rong King arrogant, plus the Jiao Demon King Danzhu, the Bull Demon King, the Macaque King, and the Monkey King have become the seven sages of the demon world today.
But these seven holy capitals are mixed in the border areas of Siyi or the famous mountains and fairy islands overseas. In fact, it is not enough to fight against Heavenly Court. More than 1,500 years ago, the Monkey King's skills were first formed, and he didn't know the height of the sky, so that as soon as a few demon kings were agitated, they would go to the heavens to call for the game, and as a result, they planted a big root, and they were miserable.
Nowadays, the common cultivation method of the demon clan is to open the spiritual wisdom, cultivate the adult, and then further cut the hair and wash the marrow, be reborn, and cultivate into an immortal. Therefore, if the demons want to achieve the fruit, they have to learn from the human race step by step, and in the long run, of course, there will be no difference.
Ming Qin entered the mortal academy since he was a child, and most of the friends he made belonged to humans. Although mortals are wary of the monsters who drink the blood of Rumao, they also hate the vicious thieves and corrupt officials who suck the blood of the people.
It is not uncommon for humans and demons to have a friendly attitude towards each other and even get married, and when Pu Liuxian wrote "Liao Zhai" hundreds of years ago, it was the culmination of this way, which fully demonstrated the good wishes of humans and demons to live in peace.
But then again, there is a saying that 'those who are not of my race will have different hearts.'" Blood relatives are indeed easy to tie up, and can even be used by conspirators to wage war.
A monster as perfect as Bai Suzhen is still incompatible when he meets Fahai, who claims to be a Taoist monk. What's more, many monsters are not as beautiful as the White Lady, and the conspirators are more serious about abuse than Fahai?
............
Ming Qin didn't want to reveal too much, so he pondered it for a moment and replied, "Three hundred years." ”
"It's rare to be able to understand human language for 300 years. The girl said curiously, "Who is your master?"
Ming Qin's thoughts turned sharply, this girl is thoughtful, and she knows the roots of the demon clan, what is it to sit with Luan Feng Jiu Chick and discuss, Han Ji came to Middle Earth from the Western Regions, and You Heng can't say anything about "Parrot Fu".
"I don't dare to hide it, in fact, I don't have a master. It's just that many years ago I entered your house, and the master Haodao often recruited warlocks to talk about the Taoist scriptures, and I listened to it a lot, and gradually gained spiritual wisdom and found some doorways.
