"There's no room for maneuver? I'm afraid there's no room for it. It's not much, maybe a hundred or ten thousand taels of silver. It's not much. It just wipes out the wealth of most of the wealthy businessmen in the world." Zhu Houcong was very casual, but it wasn't much.
It’s just over a billion, and I’m afraid that many families’ fortunes have been wiped out by him. Coupled with the practice of harvesting grain last time, there’s no room left.
"More than ten million?" Chongxu was completely confused. How much money would it cost? He couldn't even think about it.
Chongxu looked at his young apprentice with a strange expression. No wonder, after cheating others of so much money, it would be good if he didn't rebel. No, it seems that he has already rebelled. I heard that there was a lot of trouble in Henan, and it turned out that it didn't happen for a few days.
Nothing more to say. I heard a few days ago that he had left the city and surrendered.
"More or less, it's less than twenty anyway, so there's no room for maneuver now. Either I'll beat them to death with a stick, or when they recover, I don't have to tell you where they're going to get the money back from."
Zhu Houcong shrugged his shoulders, looking very casual, but it is true that if you don't kill them and keep them for the New Year, it is completely meaningless. If this batch is eliminated, the next batch can grow and the water can live.
"I didn't expect that you have done so many things this year. What are you going to do with the money? Are you going to distribute it to the people?" A few taels of silver per person is enough for this money.
"Fa? I still have a lot of things to do in the future, but I can pay them through work. They can get paid for their work, but these reforms have to be done slowly. There are places where money can be spent. This money is not enough to spend. Slowly
Take your time." The subsequent transformation will be very slow, but with money, the process can be accelerated. However, Zhu Houcong may not be able to sustain this speed of burning money by then.
Of course, these are all preliminary investments. Once the taxation is settled and a few pillar industries are occupied, there will be no need to worry about running out of money. Then we can just invest in infrastructure construction. If you want to get rich, build roads first.
All correct.
"Well, I don't understand the matters of governing the country. You are the emperor, and you need to consider many things yourself. I am very pleased to know that you are not slacking off." He didn't understand these things very well, but he knew that his apprentice did not neglect government affairs.
, he felt relieved, maybe the apprentice could really find a way out for the people of the world.
"I know, I know, if I really don't want to be the emperor, I won't stick to this position and just give it up. As long as I am still in this position, I will definitely not stop doing things. Of course, I
It must be left to capable people to do it. Let me, the emperor, do it. I won't die from exhaustion."
Zhu Houcong patted the master on the shoulder to reassure him that he could do well as an emperor. The people of the world will usher in a brand new world, which may be a little strange, but it will definitely be much better than the current life.
If you have more, at least you won’t have to worry about eating and drinking.
"That's good, that's good. By the way, I heard that there is a war on the border. How about it? Can we win? I have heard that the border of Ming Dynasty has been often harassed by the Mongols in recent years. It's okay.
Right?" Chongxu is still a little worried. He is not well-informed, and of course he is not too backward. I heard that he seems to be a bit invincible.
"Okay, okay, don't worry, my master. There is no problem at all. He will be beaten if he doesn't want it. If I hadn't kept them, they would still be useful. I would send troops to destroy them now. What's the point of sending people there?
, it should be over soon." Zhu Houcong was very casual, and indeed, if he hadn't been retained as a cheap labor force, he would have been sent to their hometown long ago.
"What do you want to do with them? Why don't you just join in if they can fight? If they are not of my race, their hearts will be different. Disciple, please don't have any compassion. Think of the people who were harmed by them. Think of the people who were harmed because of the war.
If you have the ability to destroy a family, you will certainly have to fight it off. Not to mention avenging shame, at least you will have to beat him until he can't hold his head up."
The old Taoist priest Chongxu immediately started preaching. He thought he couldn't beat them. If you can beat them, why would you use a hammer? If there's anything to talk about, just hit them. He would convince them directly that they would not dare to dare in a few years.
Recidivism is the real thing.
"Haha, master, don't be anxious. I know, but it is indeed useful to keep it. Keep it. Why are you fighting? It wastes people and money. The country is still very fragile now. Just take your time." Unexpectedly, the master is still a bad temper.
However, I think people of their generation don't have any good thoughts towards foreign races, and it has been spread for many years that those who are not from our race must have different thoughts.
"Okay, okay, you can make your own decisions. The master just sighed, you don't have to listen to me, just follow your own rhythm. The master doesn't understand either, but he is just afraid that you will suffer a loss. You must always have a high attitude toward these alien races.
Be wary, they are just feeding unfamiliar wild wolves. If you treat them well, they will still bite you. If you are weak, they will keep chasing you. Once you are strong, they will appear to give in, but in fact they will look for opportunities to bite you.
One bite, don’t take it lightly.”
Chongxu was afraid that his apprentice would not understand the pros and cons involved. Although his apprentice had been sensible since he was a child, he could not withstand the cunning of the Tatars.
"I know, I know, does your apprentice look like a fool? Don't worry, it'll be no problem." Zhu Houcong assured him again and again, how could he suffer a loss? What's the point now? He just wants to earn more.
Zhu Houcong would not be finished if his benefits were not given to them.
"Okay, okay, it's good that you know. After talking too much, you find me annoying as an old man. What's the matter? Did you encounter something? Why do you think of me, old man?" The old Taoist priest Chongxu picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip.
It is indeed a good tea, better than the one on Wudang Mountain. Even the brat doesn’t know how to show respect to it.
"Hey, Master, you have wronged me. Why can't it be me who misses you and wants to see you?" Zhu Houcong looked aggrieved, but Chongxu didn't do this at all, no matter how good he was.
The routine becomes difficult to use if used too much.
"Come on, you are so busy here, why do you have time to think about me, a bad old man? Come on, tell me if there is anything you need my help with. I am your master and not an outsider. If you have something, just say it." Chongxu rolled his eyes.
, how can he not know what this young apprentice is like? It’s not that he is unfilial, but he is so busy here, it is obvious that he has trouble with him.
"Hey, I can't hide it from you, master. By the way, master, do you have any news about Patriarch Zhang Sanfeng?" Zhu Houcong put on a playful smile. Only at the old Taoist priest Chongxu could he feel at home.
"Grandmaster Zhang Sanfeng? Didn't I tell you that he traveled around the world back then, and when he left, he had already reached your level and was an innate great master, but he has not come back for so many years. Although he has a beautiful vision, but
It is generally believed that he has passed away, why, do you still want to find him?"
Chongxu didn't hide it. This was also a fact. In the past, when Zhu Houcong was still young, it was okay to brag. But now that he has grown up, there is no need to brag. Birth, aging, illness and death are normal. Don't brag too much in the end and let the apprentice have any trouble.
Realistic fantasies are bad.
Immortality, such an imaginative word, has made countless kings bend their backs and do so many absurd things. He didn't want his apprentice to become like this.
"Master, you also know that I am already an innate grandmaster now. When I was in Wudang Mountain, I had half a foot in it, but now I have fully stepped in. This realm has transcended too much, and it is not at the same level as the day after tomorrow.
, and the road ahead is vast, and it will inevitably feel lonely to explore alone. I hope to have a like-minded Taoist friend. My ancestor is undoubtedly a good candidate. If you have any clues, I can send someone to try and chat with him.
, I should be able to gain a lot.”
It would be best if they could meet each other, and Zhu Houcong judged based on his own condition that there was still a chance of Zhang Sanfeng surviving. As long as the innate energy in his heart continued, there was hope.
"Well, then Master can't help you. I really don't know the news about Patriarch Zhang Sanfeng. Master advises you not to have too high expectations. Patriarch Zhang Sanfeng was a figure from a hundred years ago. It may be that rumors are passed down.
"It's better to pour cold water on him. He really doesn't want his apprentice to worry about this matter.
"Hey, hey, master, you didn't say that before. You told me with great certainty that Grandmaster Zhang Sanfeng was still alive. Why did you change your story now?" Zhu Houcong curled his lips. People nowadays are really powerful. They changed their story.
It was so fast. Those who didn’t know better thought he didn’t say those words.
"Ahem, doesn't that make our sect a bit taller? But if you think about it, you will know that Patriarch Zhang was already over a hundred years old when he traveled around. Now, almost a hundred years have passed. Do you think it is possible for a person to live over two hundred years old?
, I said that before, didn’t I want you to have beautiful thoughts, but who knew that Wuzong died and you came to take over the throne. "
Speaking of this, Chongxu also sighed. Life is really unpredictable. The big intestine wraps up the small intestine. I had thought about it when I accepted it before. He is just a young prince. He has a high status and no real power. He has no worldly ties. His talent is easy to cultivate.
Training is also good.
Unexpectedly, his talent was really good, and his cultivation level kept rising, and even his innate state could not stop him. He was so happy that he went crazy, but his emperor passed away, and the little prince became a little emperor.
The prince can come over and inherit the orthodoxy, but what about the emperor?
Although I am very reluctant to give up, I have no choice but to do this. I can only hope that my apprentice can be a good emperor. The people of the world are suffering too much.
"Things are fickle, who knows, but sooner or later the country will have to finish playing with him. The main reason is that he is too young and can't fight those people. If he doesn't kill himself to death, he has to wipe his ass with me. Forget it.
, I won’t say it anymore, you can’t find it if you can’t find it, it all depends on fate. The main reason why I came to see the master is because I recently discovered some problems of my own and discussed it with the master to see if I can solve it. After all, at this point, I have already
It is basically impossible to abolish my cultivation and rebuild it, unless I want to die."
If you can find Zhang Sanfeng, that's the best. If you can't find him, then so be it. It's all a matter of fate. When fate comes, there will be opportunities. If fate doesn't come, even if you pass each other, you won't know each other.
"You have a problem? You are already innate, how can something go wrong? If you have a problem, you can't reach the innate world. What's going on?" The old Taoist priest Chongxu immediately became anxious. This is his precious apprentice.
, nothing can happen.
"Hey, master, don't worry. It's not as exaggerated as you thought. It's just that there are some things I don't understand. Why do you think a drop of ink can dye a vat of water black, and a little impurity can make a pure internal energy no longer pure?
Why is this? Shouldn't these two forces be mutually exclusive? Just like yin and yang, there is no right or wrong, so there shouldn't be any problem of exaggeration."
Zhu Houcong just didn't understand it. The ink was just a metaphor, but as for power, he really didn't understand it.
"This..." Chongxu was speechless for a moment. What was his precious disciple thinking? It was so mysterious that he didn't understand it either.
Especially regarding innate matters, he himself is only in the acquired realm. Don't ask him such profound questions, okay? What is power? Even you, a great innate master, don't know, and I don't even know.
"Master, don't be anxious. Let's just chat casually. Maybe I'll find inspiration. Drink more tea if you have nothing to do. Also, I've been practicing a lot of elixirs recently. How about it?" Zhu Houcong began to follow.
Master chatting, in fact, sometimes this thing is a very simple thing. If you understand it, you will understand it. If you can't figure it out and don't understand it, you will get stuck, and it may even be easy to get into trouble.
Zhu Houcong chatted with his master for a long time. Although the master was stuck in the acquired realm, his research on Taoism was not bad at all. Zhu Houcong had just received a lot of inspiration. He originally planned to take a look and leave, but after Zhu Houcong's strong persuasion
I'd rather stay for a few days.
"Haha, master, just stay here with me. I have all the delicious food and drinks. I'm going to open a few pots of pills recently. Master, do you want to see them?" Zhu Houcong raised his eyebrows.
He knew that his master also liked to make alchemy, but the products he produced were all weird things that he didn't dare to eat. Moreover, the mountain's funds were limited and he couldn't open several furnaces in a month.
However, he has unlimited conditions here. He can practice whatever he wants, and he has also mastered several relatively certain unilateral formulas. He can teach the master if he has nothing to do. He also has a lot of books in Ouchi. It would be good to read more books if he has nothing to do. Zhu Houcong estimates
The master won't be able to leave in a short time.
"Who wants to see it? You should be the emperor properly and don't do your job so seriously. Besides, what kind of elixir can you make? Don't use the kind of fake stuff." Chongxu curled his lips, although he really wanted to see it.
, but it’s just a tough talk.
"Haha, if there is a good thing, can I forget you, master? They are relatively certain elixir recipes, and the efficacy of the medicine has been tested. It is still relatively mature. Master can practice it himself when he goes back." Seeing that the master is still a little young.
Tsundere, Zhu Houcong couldn't help but be happy and looked a little cute.
