Zong Shou took the list and looked at it, then he laughed. Thinking that Qiao Han, the outer deacon of the Kongqi Sect, was severely cheated by him just a few months ago, it would be weird not to hate him to the core.
As for those fire-thunder arrows and ice-fiery arrows, he didn't expect the Kong Weapon Sect to craft them carefully for him. In short, as long as it can be used, there are tens of thousands of spiritual masters in Qiantian Mountain, so there is no need to worry about the other party cheating.
As for Ren Bo's last few words of advice, he just pretended that he had never heard them and thought to himself, could it be that he was treating these Taoyun City envoys better now and that the Taoyun City Lord would be merciful
If the situation is reversed in the future and Qiantian Mountain is almost restored to its former glory, will Taoyun City still dare to disrespect his clan due to this small humiliation
The last item on the list is the number of spirit stones spent. All the bows, arrows, soldiers, food and medicines were prepared by Ren Bo long ago and taken from the inventory of Qiantian Mountain. The ones that cost the most were the merchant ships collected and the spiritual arrows purchased from the Kongqi Sect. In fact, these fire and thunder arrows and ice fierce arrows can also be refined by the weapon refiners in Qiantian Mountain City. However, the number is too small. Even if they are rushed day and night, it is estimated that there are only a few thousand.
A total of five thousand fourth-level beast crystals were spent. It seemed that Deacon Qiao of the Kongqi Sect really hated him to the core. The price was suddenly increased four times, which was a huge blow to him.
In addition, about a thousand coins were spent in collecting merchant ships. If there is any damage, compensation must be made according to the price afterwards.
At this time, Qian Tianshan's treasury had already dried up, and in the end he still had to pay for it.
Zong Shou didn't care, put away the list, and then smiled at Ren Bo: "Prime Minister! I don't need to repay these beast crystals and the three hundred and three-armed spiritual crossbows from the treasury. They are all my early investments. As long as When you come back from hunting in the Sea of Clouds, just give me 10% of the profit."
Ren Bo's complexion turned green immediately. I just feel extremely weird in my heart. Isn’t this Tianshan Mountain all your Zongshou’s family property? Nowadays, Qiantian Mountain City is in danger. A wise and promising king would only spend more money from the internal treasury and try his best to strengthen Qiantian Mountain City.
This gentleman is not only keeping a close eye on his own money bag. He also tried his best to take money out of the treasury of Qiantian Mountain City.
Don’t you know that if the skin is gone, how will the hair be attached? Qian Tianshan’s foundation is gone, can you keep the money in your pocket
Observing in the past few days, I found that this new king may be extremely smart, and many things can be solved with just one click. More whimsical and proficient in political strategy. But this temperament is really too weird.
It doesn't make sense to say that he is stingy. The last time he proposed to build a bank, he did not hesitate to pay for it as a start-up fund.
Puzzled in his heart, Ren Bo could only say angrily: "I can only give you half a percent at most!"
In the past, Qian Tianshan sent cloud ships to hunt under the sea of clouds. Even if Zong Weiran personally led them, the maximum profit could only be 100,000 fourth-level beast crystals. Even though the spiritual tide has shown signs of recovery recently, the number of monster beasts has increased tremendously. According to his estimation, the income this time will never exceed this amount. Half of the amount is only 5,000 fourth-level beast crystals.
It can be used to exchange for the three hundred and three-armed spiritual crossbows and these second-level spiritual arrows, which is also very good. It can be said to be a profit.
Since the three cities of Taoyun Lieyan are joining forces this time, it is always good for them to prepare more killing weapons.
"Half percent?"
Zong Shou raised his eyebrows and showed displeasure, but then he actually nodded and agreed: "Half is fine! But this matter needs to be informed by the Prime Minister to all clans."
Then Ren Bo handed over a piece of animal skin. Zong Shou unfolded it and saw that the names of people and officials were written on it.
It was the six-department official system and suggestions on official candidates that he asked for a few days ago.
A closer look shows that it is very similar to the three provinces and six ministries of the Central Plains Dynasty. But it is not a blind copy. It has been slightly improved based on the situation in Qiantian Mountain, making it more suitable for wild places like Yunlu in the east.
As for those officials, it was obvious that Ren Bo had no selfish motives. The candidates listed are all extremely talented and moral people he has recently known.
Several of them even have grudges against Ren Bo.
Zong Shou did not comment, and also put this list into his sleeve. Then he smiled and said: "This matter is not urgent. I will talk about it after I return from the sea of clouds in a while. My prestige is not established now, and rashly changing the system will only make my subordinates panic. The top priority in the Tianshan Mountains is this hunting."
Ren Bo was furious when he heard this. In fact, the official system of Qian Tianshan is almost the same as the six-ministry system. Zong Weiran has been deliberately guiding the government in recent years, and the political system has far surpassed that of other cities. Now there is only one name left. Determining the institutional names of three provinces and six ministries will only make people's hearts more stable.
Therefore, when Zong Shou proposed the establishment of a six-ministry system the previous time, he did not stop it. Just because the early preparations were in place, and then he seemed to have some realizations, could it be that Zong Shou still couldn't trust himself with his excuse? Need to check more carefully about the people on the list
Thinking of this, Ren Bo was speechless. The emperor's mind is really unpredictable. Even though he knew that Zong Shou's approach was the right way for the king, he still couldn't help but feel discouraged. For the first time, he had the idea of hanging up and leaving.
Thinking about the relationship between the monarch and his ministers when Zong Weiran was still alive, it is as if they were separated from each other, which makes people feel sad.
Once the emperor and his courtiers, this new king does not renew himself, so what is the use of keeping him
Zong Shou was unaware of Ren Bo's thoughts and said with a smile: "That's right! If the Prime Minister has nothing to do recently, he might as well prepare a budget again."
"Budget?" Ren Bo raised his eyebrows slightly, a little confused.
"It's the budget!" Zong Shou nodded. Thinking about this era, there was no such name yet, so he explained again: "It's the estimate of the income and expenditure of Qiantian Mountain City next year, and the statistics of various expenditures and sales. It means living within one's means. "
In fact, he didn't know exactly what this budget was, so he could only explain it vaguely. Ren Bo was able to figure it out with just one click, but then he was completely silenced by Zong Shou's next sentence.
"We might as well calculate it as ten times the expenditure in previous years! The price of beast crystals has not yet reached the bottom, and it has depreciated greatly. It is better to use it all, collect more materials, and build a house, which is a good deal!"
Ren Bo looked dazed, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. Ten times, that is at least three million level four beast crystals.
Is this sect's guardianship of the sea of clouds his own back garden? Where did the confidence come from to be able to hunt many beast crystals under the sea of clouds
Not only was Ren Bo puzzled, but a group of people accompanying him also looked astonished.
※※※※
Ren Bo came here worried and left with a depressed look on his face.
Seeing the veteran of the second dynasty go away, Zong Shou couldn't help but twitch the corner of his lips bitterly. What he said was the truth, but he completely ignored it. With his current age and prestige, it was far from enough to let him His subordinates were convinced.
Instead, he was regarded as arrogant and unrealistic by his own ministers.
Sighing softly, Zong Shou looked to his side and saw Chuxue Ruoshui and the others beside him. They also looked over with strange eyes and couldn't help but get angry: "Don't you even believe it?"
Chuxue licked her lips and then stopped. After a while, he decided to tell the truth: "Young Master! Ten times, that is more than three million fourth-order beast crystals! I once heard my father say that the innate experts in our Tianshan Mountains are only one in total. More than ten thousand."
Xuan Yunlan over there also raised her eyebrows slightly and said: "Maybe your Majesty, you don't know what is going on under the sea of clouds. Under the sea of clouds, the number of evil spirits and beasts has increased greatly recently. But the dangers are also increasing year by year. Even our Qingyin Sect , each hunting is only an income of 600,000 fourth-level beast crystals. Even the top ten holy places are not too much. Your Majesty, it is better not to have too much hope this time."
Zong Shou couldn't help but be speechless. If he told these people, in fact, not only did he explore all the evil abyss below in the God Emperor Game in his previous life. In reality, he also went there alone to hunt the spirit beasts below. He knew the terrain under the sea of clouds and the distribution of the spirit beasts and monsters very well, so he had a good grasp of it. These people in front of you will never believe it, right
Shaking his head slightly, Zong Shou didn't bother to explain and walked directly towards his ship.
Anyway, when the time comes, the facts will naturally speak for themselves. Let Ren Bo go this time, but he has collected four hundred merchant ships that can carry one hundred thousand stone, and they are not just for watching.
His five-toothed ship is the most majestic ship in Hongcheng Port. It is twenty feet high and divided into twenty floors. It can carry five thousand soldiers and store one hundred thousand stones of supplies.
However, the decoration inside is extremely simple. Like the Yanyan Palace on the top of Qiantian Mountain, it continues Zong Weiran's simple and pragmatic style without losing its grandeur.
Zong Shou frowned, this was too crude. Even though his life was dedicated to the art of swordsmanship, he could risk everything, endure the torture of swimming in the underwater whirlpool, and bury himself in the sand for months.
But if conditions permit, they also attach great importance to the quality of life. When you are alive, you should enjoy yourself in time.
As for whether these enjoyments will wear down the mind, Zong Shou has a unique opinion. Ruoran can't even control his own heart. Then pursuing the ultimate in swordsmanship is just empty talk, so it would be better to give up as soon as possible.
To be able to experience extravagance, glitz and glamour, while still remaining true to the Taoist spirit, is true training. Forcing yourself to maintain an ascetic life is not necessarily a sign of a firm Taoist heart.
His residence is located in the very center of this five-toothed giant ship, and it is extremely spacious. There are a total of forty rooms next to it, all used by his maids and guards, just like a small palace.
But Zong Shou entered his bedroom, sat down, and waved everyone away. Just take out a book. Turning through the pages.
Within the soul sea, there are stars twinkling. While memorizing, I tried my best to deduce and calculate.
This was one of the secret codes that Wei Xu left for him before he left, and it happened to be quite beneficial to his world-shaking spiritual skills.
