Heshen definitely did not want to be an official and was willing to be a businessman, but he also knew that as long as his past behavior was known to others, no one would dare to use him easily. Not many people could tolerate a corrupt official, especially a huge corrupt official in history. Such concerns could not be ignored by anyone in a high position.
He Shen was very smart. When faced with the solicitation, he retreated to advance. He acted as if he had seen through the officialdom. In fact, he wanted to turn the situation in his favor.
In particular, Heshen did not make any final statements in his words, nor did he express with certainty that he would never take up an official position.
"There are both advantages and disadvantages to recruiting a corrupt official like He Shen. Although history is written by people and the historical records are based on the will of the emperor, his money may have come partly from corruption, but it cannot be denied that part of it came from his own business. With his talent, it is not difficult to make money and abuse his power for personal gain. If he uses it well, he is a top talent. A corrupt official can also be a talented person."
Jia Xu said with a faint smile.
To be honest, before this, he really didn't realize that He Shen would be such a corrupt official. His wealth was richer than the national treasury. It was equivalent to the tax revenue of several years of the previous dynasty. He was simply a giant among corrupt officials. His wealth was so rich that it was no exaggeration to say that he was rich enough to rival a country.
Even his eyes could be concealed, so you can imagine. This kind of psychological quality and concealment ability are definitely not something that ordinary people can possess.
"He has talent, but I need to observe and consider him further. After all, this is not a trivial matter. Whether to use him or not, how to use him is a big problem. To be honest, I didn't expect that I would meet such a person before."
Yi Tianxing smiled and shook his head. This really brought him a difficult problem.
"There are thousands of kinds of people, but as a monarch, the most important thing is to have a heart and courage that can accommodate everything."
Jia Xu said meaningfully.
Yi Tianxing nodded secretly. He had personally experienced the reincarnation of an emperor time and time again, and felt the emperor's life experience in a detached manner. Few people could match his understanding of the emperor's art.
If he didn't know that the most important thing for an emperor is his mind and courage, he would have turned away the moment he knew it was Heshen, and would not have gone in to talk to him. However, some things still need to be carefully considered.
After meeting He Shen, Yi Tianxing didn't have the heart to continue visiting other people. After wandering around the city for a while, he returned to the city lord's mansion.
Enter the core space as soon as possible.
In the Qiyun Tianchi, there was already a layer of red liquid that was constantly flowing. In the past three months, a lot of Qiyun water had accumulated. At least, it had covered the bottom layer, allowing the golden dragon snake to swim in the pool. From the spring, a stream of spring water was flowing out continuously. The Qiyun brought by the people's will was continuous and endless.
Little by little, it adds up to a lot, and your luck is increasing every moment.
At this point, it can be seen that there are no major problems in Xuanhuang City or even in the towns and villages in the surrounding areas. The people are all on their side, and are tending towards stability.
Only when there is stability can the people's hearts be stable and luck can be gathered.
"The people are in a stable mood. However, it is not an easy task to completely fill up the 810-foot-wide Heavenly Luck Pond. It will take a long time. We must come up with a better way to accumulate luck faster. The biggest shortcut to luck is plundering. Plundering the luck of other races is even faster. This kind of plundering has no hidden dangers. There is only the strong and the weak. The strong prey on the weak. This is the rule of heaven and earth."
Yi Tianxing took a deep breath and pondered to himself.
That's how luck comes. Big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp. It's nothing more than that. The key is to know where to attack. Foreigners are not easy to deal with. They are definitely not cattle and sheep that can be slaughtered at will.
Looking at the cash cow.
The size of the money tree is more than ten times larger than it was three months ago. The money tree formed by the eternal coins gathered together is almost completely shrouded in endless divine light. A huge amount of heaven and earth energy is constantly gathered in the money tree. With every breath, the heaven and earth energy swallowed and exhaled is huge. Fortunately, the money tree directly draws heaven and earth energy from the endless void. Otherwise, the whole Xuanhuang City will have strange phenomena. An amazing picture appears.
On the money tree, you can see white and black divine lights interweaving together. It's like a mysterious gem is flashing, changing unpredictably. It looks extremely magical.
"Xuanhuang City has a population of over one million, and tens of millions of people in the surrounding areas use Eternal Coins. The various wishes gathered every day are huge, and the wish beads and magic beads that can be harvested every day are beyond imagination. It seems that the speed of forging the supreme artifact can be accelerated in Xuanhuang Immortal City."
A hint of joy secretly arose in my heart.
This is good news. The more wish beads are harvested, the faster the supreme artifact can be forged. Now it can be felt that a large part of the main foundation of this fairy city has been completed. From illusion to substance.
If you calculate it, the number of wish beads and magic beads harvested every day is over tens of thousands.
If the population is 10 million, then based on the speed at which the money tree gathers the power of will and desire, it can condense 20,000 to 30,000 wish beads and magic beads in a day.
Three months, ninety days. That's more than two million wish beads, more than two million magic beads.
Once such a huge number is spread out and integrated into the embryo of the Supreme Artifact, it only makes a part of the area condense into substance. There is still a large part of the area that is illusory. According to calculations, it only occupies one tenth of the area of the embryo of the Supreme God City.
"The magic beads cannot be moved. They must be used to mint eternal coins to ensure that the currency system can be fully maintained. If we really count the number of wish beads, it will take at least two years to mint the Supreme Immortal City. This is not a short time. Especially in such a chaotic world."
Yi Tianxing sighed secretly, but in the end he didn't say much. At this time, he didn't want to wait, but he had to wait. There was no shortcut, unless the population in the territory doubled again during this period of time, or even the circulation of eternal coins covered a larger area, benefiting more lives. Only then could this process be accelerated.
In this process, an opportunity must appear.
But where is this opportunity
He took a deep look at the scene in the core space, and then disappeared.
... ... ... ... ... ..
Yi Tianxing's emergence from retreat brought a new vitality to the entire Xuanhuang City.
All major departments have burst out with stronger motivation. It's like a wound-up alarm clock, running very fast.
Especially the hunters in the Hunter Hall, every day there are hunters who find new people and vagrants and bring them back. However, this time, most of the people brought back are being diverted to other towns and villages. Let them settle in the surrounding towns. Register the household registration and enjoy the same treatment as the people in Xuanhuang City. There are no restrictions on entry and exit, and they are also qualified to obtain the inheritance of skills and practice.
However, there are also many problems encountered.
Various ferocious beasts attack villages and towns from time to time, and different casualties appear every day. This is normal in troubled times. Fortunately, after a large number of villages and towns received certain support from Xuanhuang City, not only were various buildings quickly improved, but also various new armors and weapons were installed in their armaments, which greatly increased their combat effectiveness.
This reduced the number of casualties to an extremely low level.
These are unavoidable. Fierce beasts kill people, and people kill ferocious beasts. There is no right or wrong, only strength and weakness, life and death. Being killed is because you are not strong enough. There is an inherent contradiction between the two.
This day, early morning.
Woohoo!!
Suddenly, a horn blew without warning. The horn sounded ancient, vast, and high-pitched. It was as if the ancient gods and demons were summoning the army and calling for war.
"what is that?"
"It looks like a horn, a really big horn, unexpectedly appearing in the void. Could it be that this horn is a rare treasure, and now it is time for it to be born, so it exploded with amazing phenomena."
"The sound of the horn is so loud. Moreover, the moment I hear the horn, I can feel a strong sense of solemnity, as if I am about to go to the battlefield. An invisible pressure envelopes my body."
In Xuanhuang City, common people couldn't help but look up into the void.
No one knew how far the horn was from Xuanhuang City, but it could be clearly seen by every cultivator. It seemed to be right in front of them. On the horn, they could see lifelike patterns, which were the figures of gods and demons. It seemed that the gods and demons were fighting and conquering.
The penetrating power of the horn is very strong, and it can transmit clearly even from a distance of thousands of miles.
Some people even felt that the circulation of their internal Qi seemed to be slightly shaken by the sound of the horn, and it kept fluctuating with the sound of the horn.
The blood seemed to be ignited at the sound of the horn.
"Where did the horn come from? The sound of this horn is so unusual that it can have an impact even from a distance of thousands of miles. This must be a powerful treasure. It is extraordinary. It appeared at this time, so something big must have happened."
Yi Tianxing also stood up at the first moment and looked at the horn emerging in the distant void.
Either a rare treasure has been born, or someone has done it deliberately. The former is okay, but if it is the latter, it is definitely not a trivial matter. The most crucial thing is, if this horn has an owner, who is controlling such a weapon of war
"To all the powerful monks of all races who heard the horn, I am Qing Tianyu, the leader of the Qingkong Winged Clan. I am now issuing a message and a call to action."
Just as the speculation was going on, a majestic voice came from the horn. Mobile phone users please visit m..Read for a better reading experience.
