This is his newly carved seal, prepared for the upcoming founding ceremony of the country. There are eight characters in total - if you are ordered by heaven, you will live a long and prosperous life. There is nothing new, but since this has been the case with kings and dynasties throughout the ages. Zong Shou could only follow the custom and was too lazy to innovate.
Only the boy under his command was a little different—these six seal characters were written with the seal of the Lord of Qiantian.
Look at the silk. It is also made of centuries-old dragon silk, and the dye is also extremely expensive.
According to Ren Bo and his ministers, animal skins can no longer be used. Ordinary paper doesn't work either.
Since it is already a big country, it should have the air of a big country. Some money cannot be saved.
And the words on the silk made Zong Shou's heart tighten even more. You don’t need to look at the rest, but the number of eighty-two million fourth-order beast crystals is enough to make people’s hearts tremble.
This was Zong Shou's own plan for the compensation for the fallen generals and the rewards for the armies after the victory.
Although this battle was a complete victory, almost all the larger forces in Yunlu in the east were defeated.
But it wasn't perfect, just when he led all the elite cavalry to the foot of Shangxiao Mountain.
The 360 military towns in Qiantian, plus the hundreds of thousands of elites in Xuanshan City, struggled to withstand the fierce attack of the Thousand Cities Alliance, and the damage reached 300,000 people.
After careful calculation, plus the consumption of supporting more than three million troops in conquests, and the subsequent expansion of the army. The amount was so large that it almost completely drained the treasury of Heaven.
He even needs to take out part of his expected income from his pocket to supplement it.
It hurts so much that I don’t want to watch it anymore. Zong Shou hurriedly threw the roll of silk in his hand into the corner of the desk.
He took another deep breath and finally calmed down a little, but he was still extremely confused.
Just opposite the book desk, Ren Bo stood with the presence of the old god. Seeing this at this time, I couldn't help but feel secretly amused.
He took the edict in his hand, opened it and looked at it, but he was shocked: "Your Highness is so generous! Eighty-two million fourth-level beast crystals, even the most ordinary soldier can gain a lot this time . But this money is in the national treasury and cannot be taken out now."
Zong Shou waved his hand and said angrily: "The shortfall can be temporarily borrowed from the inner treasury. However, you will have to pay me back in the future. This time it will be 20% interest per month."
This time, Ren Bo did not argue with the amount of interest, but looked at Zong Shou strangely: "I thought that His Highness could not increase taxes, so the reward must be reduced -"
Zong Shou sneered, thinking that although I, Zong Shou, may not know much about governing the country, I can still win over the morale of the military. At this time, no matter how distressed he was, the money had to be taken out.
The spiritual tide has just begun, and Qian Tianshan is far from the time when Ma Fangnan Mountain is released.
"Then just follow your Majesty's orders!"
Ren Bo smiled and bowed, accepting the order. Then he asked: "So what are your plans for the invitation of the Great Merchants Alliance?"
Zong Shou frowned, wanting to allocate his strength to conquer the outside world. But this matter cannot be ignored.
That space-time rift is actually closer to the Central Cloud Continent. It's just Qian Tian who can't escape responsibility.
Then with a sigh, Lingyun Sect's power declined greatly, and all the sects in Qiantian fled and were destroyed.
Qian Tianshan will eventually have to bear this kind of thing. Now we can only get more benefits from Dashang.
"In addition to the five hundred military towns, there will be an additional 200,000 elite cavalry!"
Fortunately, Qian Tian was unified, and all he had to do was force the cities to reduce their troops. Once Donglin is completely pacified, the burden will be lightened.
But it's not good to have no war at all. That place can be used for military training.
Before the spiritual tide, he planned to gradually replace all the military towns in Qiantian Mountain with Xuanwu Masters as the main ones.
In addition, there must be at least 100,000 fourth-level strong men to form an elite.
Thinking about it this way, it is even more necessary to conquer the outside world and plunder resources.
Ren Bo nodded, knowing that the expansion of Jingqi was to deal with this matter.
Then he looked around: "So, does this palace need to be expanded and rebuilt?"
The Yanyan Palace on the top of Qiantian Mountain is said to be a palace, but in fact the city lord's palaces in some big cities to the east are several times stronger than this one.
It was built in Zong Weiran's time and was completed shortly after the construction of Qiantian Mountain City. It was fine before, but now compared to Qian Tianshan's status in the cloud world, it can only be called simple.
Zong Shou was immediately moved when he heard this. He also felt that this palace was too simple.
He has only two pursuits in his life, one is to pursue the ultimate in martial arts, and the other is to live a good life. This was his desire after talking about Qiu Qiu in his 'previous life', after being lonely as a child, and it can almost be said to be an obsession.
But thinking about it carefully, Zong Shou couldn't help but sigh. It wasn't that he didn't want to repair, but that he really didn't have any money in his pocket. Even if there is one, it is reluctant to part with it. It needs to be used in Zhoushu first.
"No! This smoke palace can still be used. Let's wait until two years later."
Ren Bo was inexplicably moved and leaned over and saluted: "Your Majesty is wise! After the war, it is time to cherish the people's strength and cultivate themselves. Your Majesty has clear rewards and punishments, and acts with moderation. It's funny that I was still worried when your Majesty increased taxes. Now. Only then did I realize that Ren Bo was worried about the sky in vain. Today, I will serve the people of heaven on my behalf, and I would like to thank you! With a king like this, why should I worry about the prosperity of the country in heaven?"
There was a bit of sobs in his voice.
Zong Shou suddenly opened his mouth wide with astonishment on his face. Until Ren Bo left, he didn't figure out what was going on.
Shaking his head, Zong Shou also stood up and walked to the back of the palace. I saw a girl in white standing quietly under the moon on the corridor in the backyard, looking up at the sky.
Although there were guards around, no one came to take care of him.
Zong Shou frowned and thought that this posture of looking up at the stars was quite popular. But in this place, you should be able to hear what is said in the palace.
Fortunately, what he and Ren Bo were discussing today was not something urgent. However, it seems that the guards here need to be disciplined.
But Kong Yao looked away from the sky and looked over. The look in his eyes was still deathly gray. But at this time, there was a bit of inexplicable color.
"This is the Holy Lord—"
He murmured in a low voice, asking himself, not believing, feeling relieved, all kinds of emotions mixed together.
Then Kong Yao walked to the side room with a dazed look on his face. When he was about to leave, he turned around and said: "There is a strange person hiding in Qiantian City. If your Majesty is interested, you can send someone to investigate. If you can get his help, great achievements may be expected - "
She didn't know why she said this. After saying that, he left in a daze.
Zong Shou was confused, but he was only slightly stunned and ignored it.
What holy king? What strange person
Could it be that Kong Yao was hit too hard and went a little crazy
This is not good. What I want is a handsome man who can command thousands of troops, not a crazy woman. Zhao Yanran is enough for the lunatic. It seems that Xuanyuan Yiren and Xuan Yunlan still need to be comforted.
Since you were snatched away by me, you can't help it. Return to your room, and with Zong Shou's thoughts, the flow of time around you begins to slow down slightly.
And Zong Shou also made a move and took out the Zhouji Life Book.
At this time, he had turned to the second page and spent several decades of his life.
But the gains are not cheap, in addition to understanding some of the laws of phenomena at the basic level of time. He has already started trying to master the magical power of accelerating time.
In the past, Zong Shou could unintentionally speed up time five times when the sword was drawn out, but he didn't know why.
But now, not only can he freely use the time to increase twice as fast, but he also knows the principles and knows what he should do to achieve it.
But the more I researched, the more confused I became. How did the virtual illusion in the previous life achieve time acceleration
I originally thought it was the result of accelerated thinking. But at this time, the higher his cultivation level and the more he understood the great ways of heaven and earth, the more impossible he felt.
But this matter is just a side detail. What happened ten thousand years later had nothing to do with him, so he didn't bother to worry about it.
But today, Zong Shou chose to use Zhoushu to speed up time, but it was to learn swordsmanship.
The battle at Shangxiao Mountain gave him countless insights into the way of swordsmanship, and he needed time to digest them.
Therefore, even though he knew that this 'Book of Zhou' was a bottomless pit that swallowed gold, Zong Shou did not hesitate to use it.
Just because what he lacks most now is time—
Just standing in the room, Zong Shou picked up his sword and stabbed him flatly, then pulled it back and stabbed again!
The movements were ordinary and did not bring any inner aura. But every moment, the inner energy, energy, and even soul power, energy, and blood in Zongshou's chakras are constantly surging, trying various routes to find the best way to use the sword.
It was vaguely the sword that Void thrust out in front of Long Ying that day.
It’s the beginning of Yuan Yijian—
There is also a correspondence, Yang is the beginning and Yin is the end.
Yuan Yijian was supposed to have only one sword, and only one sword was needed. But as time went by, Zong Shou had no choice but to make the sword styles of Yin Sword, Yang Sword, Black Sword, and White Sword independent.
The more I am immersed in this way, the more I realize how arrogant I am to think of uniting hundreds of schools of swords into one.
He is not only skilled in swordsmanship, but also in the laws of heaven and earth!
It is already the forty-fifth day to use the Book of Universe to speed up cultivation. In the past twenty days, Zong Shou was studying the second page of the Zhouji Life Book to consolidate his spiritual cultivation.
Twenty days later, Zong Shou was trying to integrate the meaning of Taichu into his sword intention.
The progress was extremely fast, but it was still not as good as the sword he thrust out that day under the pressure of Shen Xiao and Long Ying.
At that time, I clearly felt that I could break through to the peak of the Sword Intention Soul Realm. It’s just one final step away from breaking through—
But at this moment, I have practiced hard for more than twenty years, constantly perfecting and sculpting this sword style, but I still can't get in.
Sure enough, it's because his cultivation level is still too low
Abandoning distracting thoughts, Zong Shou had no thoughts and thoughts, constantly improving his inner breath and breath circulation concisely, and constantly visualizing Taichu. Using the sword in his hand, the sound of wind and thunder gradually sounded.
It wasn't until a few days later that it finally stopped. One day later, it will be his wedding to Xuanyuan Yiren.
