Chapter 71: Whoever loves to be cheap will build (please read)
Jiang Ziya left Yanshan at dawn, arrived at Youli City in the evening, talked to Ji Chang for a while, and then returned to Chaoge.
Ji Chang made a divination and found out that Boyikao had received the silk letter. He was finally relieved, but he didn't know that his eldest son did not obey his orders.
Jiang Ziya returned to Songjiazhuang, burned incense and bathed for a while, and then used the Yuxu method to breathe out the breath.
Today's rest is over, and tomorrow he has to go to the Sitian Prison to do some urination.
However, Jiang Ziya liked this job very much. It didn't matter how much the salary was, whether he was an official or not. The main thing was that it could help people's luck and luck, and it was really leisurely.
Before dark, you just need to sort out the classics, take a look at the changes in the celestial phenomena over the years, the disasters in Kyushu, and occasionally work the night shift. This is also simple, just watch the celestial phenomena for a while.
Don't look at Bigan, King Wu Cheng and others who hold high positions and have generous salaries, but don't look at how many things they have to do and how much energy they have to spend a day.
If you have a bad state of mind, you may get angry and get sick if you play in the Jinluan Hall every day and look at King Zhou's arrogant behavior every day.
Jiang Ziya meditated all night with anticipation, put on his official uniform early the next morning, and went to the palace.
It would have been nice if he didn't go, but he caused trouble if he went.
Jiang Ziya suppressed the anger in his heart, nodded and lowered his eyebrows, waiting to give up.
Jiang Ziya took out his tooth tag, verified his identity, and then entered the palace gate. He was about to go to Si Tianjian when he heard King Zhou's order and summoned him.
"Jiang Shang, if you dare to delay the construction period, it will be a crime of deceiving the emperor. When the time comes, I will kill you with the dragon and phoenix sword."
"Jiang Shang, I know that you are very skilled in Taoism, but you have a big responsibility entrusted to you.
If the people can no longer survive, it is better for the emperor to be replaced by someone else.
Jiang Ziya knew that Daji was deliberately making things difficult. He didn't know how much manpower and material resources this tower would cost. Even if he planned it well, it would still take five years to build.
Jiang Ziya didn't squint his eyes and answered calmly.
"Your Majesty has learned clearly that Jiang Shang is loyal and has no intention of deceiving the emperor."
As for how to travel, where to travel, and in what way to travel, only King Zhou himself knew.
Jiang Ziya hurriedly acted as guarantee. Although he said this, he didn't think so in his heart.
King Zhou was overjoyed when he heard this. He originally thought that this platform would not be built in ten or eight years, but he never expected that it would only take such a short time to travel with the flying immortals.
Wen Zhong went to Beihai to quell the chaos for many years, and the national treasury was not very rich. If Lutai was to be built, corvées would have to be collected.
You are well versed in yin and yang and the five elements, and you know Feng Shui and Yu, so you are the best candidate."
Jiang Ziya didn't care, though. If a brick were thrown at this palace, it would kill many of the officials.
Naturally, Daji did not want to see Jiang Ziya being proud, so she set a time limit and made clear the interests and consequences. If Lutai was not built in the future, there would be ways to deal with him.
But then he thought about it, even if he didn't supervise the construction, someone would supervise the construction, and it would still cost people and money, so it was better to take over this job first and fish in troubled waters every day.
Jiang Ziya sealed the giant palace with a restraint, not daring to reveal the slightest bit of sword energy to avoid being noticed by Daji. He touched his sleeves and went upstairs with some anxiety.
"Jiang Shang, if I hand over this platform to your supervision, how long will it take?"
"Doctor Jiang is really very capable, but I have something to say beforehand. If you fail to build this deer platform in three years, you will be burned with a cannon."
Daji leaned in King Zhou's arms and put her hands on his neck.
In recent years, the life of the people of the great merchants has not been very good. The officials in the court are all burned one day and quartered tomorrow, and each has his own way of death, not to mention the common people.
Although he didn't want to learn these skills back then, his arms couldn't twist Yuanshi Tianzun's thigh, so he had to learn it honestly, and it came in handy today.
Jiang Ziya made a big salute and then stood up.
After receiving the order, he immediately headed towards the Star-Zhailing Tower without any delay.
King Zhou supported Daji at the right time, and he was Daji's biggest supporter in the world.
Jiang Shang was shocked when he heard this. The Dragon and Phoenix Sword is an imperial sword, which implies the destiny of humanity. If you use this sword to kill him, it will probably be effortless.
But now Daji has confused King Zhou and made him eager to build a platform. It is a bit conservative to say that it will take five years.
Jiang Ziya lowered his head, not wanting to see the monster confuse the emperor.
He walked slowly, but he was thinking secretly in his heart, wondering what the evildoer was thinking.
"Exactly."
"Your Majesty, I know that Dr. Jiang is quite talented, but this platform is for entertaining with the gods, so it must be completed quickly."
If we really want to impose corvee labor and add more fuel to the fire, then the people's dissatisfaction will really boil over.
In less than three moments, he arrived at the Star Reaching Tower.
"Si Tianjian Jiang Shang, please pay homage to your Majesty and your Majesty."
He saw that the deer platform had a magnificent structure and was decorated with pearls, agate and other precious stones. He knew that it would be extremely difficult to build and would cost a lot of money.
Although Jiang Ziya knew that his destiny was not in Chaoge, he did not want to build this platform without conscience and let the people suffer.
Jiang Ziya knew that Daji was the incarnation of a monster, so he was always on guard and hid the giant palace in his sleeve as soon as he entered the palace.
Jiang Ziya seemed to be very old, but in fact he had just begun to attain immortality and was very agile. He stretched out a palm to catch the scroll, and then slowly unfolded it.
He was originally a citizen of the Shang Dynasty, so there was nothing wrong with worshiping King Zhou, but worshiping a demon, he only felt the three corpse gods beating.
The palace maid stepped aside and invited Jiang Ziya to enter the building.
"Your Majesty, if you want it to be perfect, it can be built in three years. If you need to save some time, it can be completed in two years."
"But the next doctor, Jiang Shang?"
"Your Majesty, this deer platform is indeed well designed. Jiang Shang is not talented and would like to give it a try boldly."
Concubine Su presented a treasure scroll with a picture of a pavilion named Lutai. This platform was so exquisitely designed that no one could supervise its construction.
"Your Majesty has a decree, ordering you to go to Zhaixing Tower and wait for your fate."
Jiang Ziya closed the scroll and bowed to King Zhou.
When King Zhou saw that Jiang Ziya had accepted the mission, he was quite satisfied. He was about to issue an order to appoint officials and allocate manpower, but was interrupted.
The eunuch's words were frivolous, he was not qualified for his official position, and he had no imperial edict in his mind. He obviously did not take Jiang Ziya seriously.
His behavior has already broken the etiquette of big businessmen, but at this moment, there is no official voice, so he naturally acts unscrupulously.
King Zhou smiled and pinched Daji's waist, causing her to squeal and tremble.
Daji hated him so much that she gnashed her teeth. Yesterday she wanted to summon him and give him the responsibility of supervising the construction of Lutai, but it happened that he was taking a rest, so she had to give up.
The palace maid stood outside the building and stepped forward to ask.
King Zhou was right, Jiang Ziya was indeed very knowledgeable and "understood a little bit" of everything.
King Zhou hugged Daji's slender waist and threw the scroll towards Jiang Ziya.
When he was studying Taoism in Kunlun Mountain in the past, in addition to practicing Yuxu Dharma, he also learned political affairs, art of war, public opinion, construction and other secular knowledge.
However, the current situation is stronger than human beings. King Zhou has a lot of luck in his body, so suppressing him is just normal. Daji has cultivated for thousands of years, so it is not difficult to kill him.
“Just go straight to the top floor.”
Jiang just dragged him away, saying that whoever likes to be cheap will build it. At worst, he will burn your foundation and walk away.
Thanks to Qingyun Dun for the reward.
If nothing else, I’ll just add this much today. I’ll try to add three or four chapters tomorrow. Please read more.
As well as the continuous switching of scenes in these chapters, they all need to be connected in series later on. It may be a bit unfamiliar, but you will understand it later.
