The clouds are falling eastward, and the sky is began to become orange colors. The color also pushed over time, getting deeper and deeper.
The rotary king's hand played out of the Beiyin Middle Temple, and several nine birds that dangled in front of the temple to show their wings.
Nine heads, Qi Qi made a sharp sound, echoing above the Temple of Heaven in Beiyin.
The rotary king went down the base of the hall and went straight to the palace door.
The rotation king left, and the emperor of the palace said to the palace slave: "The envoy of the Dongcang.".
The palace slave didn't ask much, I responded, hurriedly walked, and left the hall without returning.
The Emperor of the Du Du lifts up again, take a closer look at the eunuchs, and then review it.
It is undeniable that the Emperor and Xiao Shizhu are not lazy ruler.
But recently, the internal and external problems of the North Yin dynasty have been constantly, and playing the book always accumulate like mountains every day, which makes the Emperor of the Du Du very hard.
Recently, the time of free time is already luxurious for Emperor Du Du Great. In the past, it was more that in the past, he had to criticize the minister or stay up late to deal with government affairs.
Two hairs also added a lot of unknowingly.
Especially after completing the compensation delivered to the Jiuyou Kingdom, the northern dynasty's treasury has already appeared in emptiness. The folk complaints have said that they no longer trust the Beiyin Chao.
I don't know how long it has been, the Du Du Du Du has reviewed three or five play books. When the brows are getting more and more locked, the palace slaves return.
Following him is a fat yellow hair monster.
This rat demon is fat, but it is not tall. His short body makes his body look bloated. It is just as white as the beard and top of the rat demon.
It seems that this rat demon is not too young.
These two thick plate teeth are erected outside the lips, which is the Mencang envoy of the Emperor of the Great. He works in the treasury in the east area of the East.
Management.
Don't look at him as a rat demon, but he is very proficient in management of money. In terms of careful calculations, it is more proficient in planning and calculating money for money and money.
That's why Emperor Du Du dared to put the country's inventory money to him to take care of him.
This is where the Emperor of the Du Du Du was properly used.
There are Dongcang messengers to take care of money and food. The Beiyin Chao has always been abundant money and food.
Dongcang's messenger came to the depths of the hall. Before the case was covered by Rouguang, he kneeled down and hugged his head.
"Dongcang's envoy, how much money does the state treasury still do now?"
Only when the words were exported, the Emperor of the Du Du continued to bow his head again, watching the black paper and white characters on his hands.
Dongcang's envoy who was kneeling in front pulled out of his neck, but the golden abacus of the size of the palm of the palm, and the upper and lower flickered.
Calculate the beads lightly, the golden light flashed.
Dongcang was not rushed to answer, but instead silently raised the abacus that was lifted on his hand.
The sound of the pops sounded uninterruptedly from the abacus.
The Emperor of the Du Du was not affected by the noise of the beads. He continued to concentrate on his mind and looked at the player in his hand, waiting for the envoy of Dongcang to give him a positive result.
After a long time, the crackling sound of the beads finally stopped.
"Return to Your Majesty." The Dongcang envoy narrowed his eyes, stretched out his hand to stroke his silver beard, and replied: "If we do not exclude this year's military expenditures throughout the country, the national treasury now only has less than three billion taels.
I’m done with my fortune.”.
The Dongcang envoy's memory was also extraordinary. He felt sleepy after reading other books, but that account book not only made him feel refreshed at first sight, but also made him never forget it.
All the income and expenses of the Northern Yin Dynasty were deeply imprinted in the mind of the Dongcang envoy.
Even if there is no account book in the main hall, the Dongcang envoy can still understand every revenue and expenditure of the treasury.
After a slight pause, the Dongcang envoy continued to say to Emperor Fengdu: "But our military expenditure, as well as pensions and compensation for the family members of soldiers who died in the past battles, and settlement expenses, total an expenditure of 800 million gold per year. Excluding these expenditures, the imperial court
The available gold for this year is only 2.2 billion."
As the Dongcang envoy spoke, a trace of imperceptible embarrassment appeared on his face.
There seems to be a lot of money left in these treasury, and they are very wealthy. However, the Beiyin Dynasty currently has six continents under its jurisdiction. It has a vast territory and tens of millions of miles of land. Money is needed everywhere, and this little money is not enough.
Nothing.
If we pay close attention to taxing the ghost people now, it will only be a drop in the bucket for the Northern Yin Dynasty's treasury. For a time, the Northern Yin Dynasty's vitality was seriously damaged.
"Improve taxes on princes from various places and ask them to pay tribute. Adjust taxes in various places, increase the output of workshops under the imperial court's management, and make money as soon as possible." Emperor Fengdu didn't seem to care about this, and he didn't have the distress of the Dongcang envoy. He was careless at the moment
Said: "All money and food expenditures must first be used for the reconstruction of the army and passes in the southern part of Liutianzhou."
The memorial in the hand that Emperor Fengdu was staring at at this time was none other than a boy from the Shangqing Dynasty who came from the southeastern coastal area of Liutianzhou.
The boy from Shangqing Dynasty has written clearly in this memorial that Jiuyou Kingdom had already begun to build fortifications on the islands around Mianhai.
It even began to expand the reef; Jiuyou Kingdom took the reef as the center on the Minghai Sea and reclaimed the sea in all directions to build islands, allowing some independent islands to be protected.
Without thinking too much, we know where the funds for these plans come from. It must be the compensation money from the Northern Yin Dynasty.
However, when Emperor Fengdu saw this matter of reclamation and island building, his heart immediately skipped a beat and jumped to his throat.
Although his face was calm, his heart was like a falling stone in the water, with constant ripples and constant panic.
This kind of industrial products and techniques came from the wisdom of the ancient demon gods. Little did he know, but Emperor Fengdu knew it all. At that time, there were only Kyushu in the underworld. There were no three continents in the North, but only two.
The devil used this technology to fill in a continent on the sea within a year without relying on the power of magic.
Just to prove that what magic and ghost arts can do, craftsmanship and skills can also do.
According to the description in the memorial by the Shangqing boy, the current method of reclamation in Jiuyou Kingdom is the same as that of the Demon God back then. They also first laid hard and rustless Tianxuan iron pipes around the reef, so that the people who are good at controlling fire can
Ghost, at the connection point of each hollow pipe, use tin powder and ghost fire to weld them together, and then weld many pipes into a circle.
These pipes were all struck at the bottom of the sea and were firmly embedded in the rocks on the seabed. They could not be moved by the wind or shaken by the waves.
A circle of large and small iron pipes are connected one by one and extend in all directions.
Then evacuate the sea water in the circle and the iron pipe, and place countless connected solid iron rods inside, all welded together. Finally, fill it with sand and gravel mixed with clay, white plaster mud and glutinous rice juice, making it
become land.
And it is baked with salt and alkali to make the inside solid and impervious to rainwater.
In this way, even if the outermost iron pipe is broken and the island has been created, no damage to the island will be allowed.
Finally, the island was covered with loose earth and rocks and planted with vegetation. Countless rocks were piled up around the channel pipe, which became an island on the sea.
This is the island-building technique of the group of demon gods who worked hard to develop various ingenious and obscene skills in the ancient gods.
From this point of view, Xiao Shizhu has obtained the Fengdu Emperor and is looking for the demonic skills that have been elusive for thousands of years.
This made Emperor Fengdu feel a little creepy and sent chills down his spine.
He has experienced the war between gods and demons and knows how terrifying the skills of those demon gods are.
Therefore, the Shangqing boy's report required a large amount of funds. In order to deal with and defend against these reclamation tactics of Jiuyou Kingdom, Emperor Fengdu did not hesitate to call the Dongcang envoy.
Let the Dongcang envoy meet the financial needs of the Shangqing boy no matter what. As long as the money is worth spending and can block the future attack of Jiuyou Kingdom, Emperor Fengdu will not hesitate.
The Dongcang envoy didn't say anything, he just responded.
Now that the Jiuyou Kingdom and Beiyin Dynasty have ceased war, the strength and resources of the two countries will no longer continue to be consumed. Other ghost countries, as long as they are not stupid, dare not provoke these two ghost countries for the time being. The city of Beiyin Dynasty is facing downwards
It would be easy for Pluto’s ghost kingdom to collect more taxes and tributes.
This could also replenish the national treasury, so the Dongcang envoy agreed without hesitation.
"Go." Emperor Fengdu put down the memorial in his hand, picked up his pen, and told the Dongcang envoy: "Work hard and don't be passive and slow down."
"No." The Dongcang envoy responded again, kowtowed, stood up, bowed his head and backed away, exiting the hall.
The sky outside has darkened, and the dimness of the overcast sun in the east has fallen between the sky and the earth on time, followed by the darkness of night, which is about to come.
Many palace lanterns in the Six Heavens Palace of Gods and Ghosts were lit, and the centipede beads and dragon beads inside and outside each palace and pavilion shone brightly in the darkness.
Over there, under the soft light of the centipede bead, Emperor Fengdu had already written down the contents of the review on the memorial book of the Shangqing boy: "Continue to monitor every move of Jiuyou Kingdom in Minghai, and report all situations in a timely manner."
.
The palace slaves carrying food also came in one after another and served today's dinner to Emperor Fengdu...
After night falls, the Jade Palace is also brightly lit.
The laurel trees in Yuebi Palace are illuminated by palace lanterns.
The main hall was brightly lit, with bright lights illuminating every corner.
After dinner, Lai Yueqi, with the support of the palace maid, took a walk in the palace garden and then came to the main hall.
Recently, the ghost doctor told her that the fetal gas was stable, the fetal position was correct, and the baby was growing healthily, which made Lai Yueqi extremely happy.
In order to keep her child healthy, Lai Yueqi did not dare to neglect walking and exercising after meals, and she was always careful about herself.
After taking a walk, she came to the main hall and sat behind the desk.
Lai Yueqi's personal maid followed her in, brought her some fruits and pastries, and then retreated behind the gate.
But Lai Yueqi's desk is still so messy, with countless large and small drawings and books on it, as well as things like wooden rulers, rulers, and compasses.
These tools are all commonly used by Lai Yueqi.
It was on this several-foot-long desk that Lai Yueqi used these tools to design new weapons and armaments for the Jiuyou Kingdom from generation to generation, and they were constantly updated and upgraded.
In this way, the combat effectiveness of Jiuyou Army will be continuously improved.
As soon as Lai Yueqi sat down, she took a yellow book at hand and started reading.
Now on the desk in front of her, most of them were the devil's works that Xiao Shizhu had brought back from the underworld, translated by the ghost mother and Chen Ruo herself.
The contents of these books are all records of the demon's skills and superb craftsmanship, covering all aspects.
Lai Yueqi wanted to seize the time and do more research while she could still move.
Try to research a few more things that will benefit Jiuyou Country and its people before giving birth and confinement.
Lai Yueqi's plan was timed very accurately; she wanted to research things and put them into pre-production experiments before she was about to give birth.
After she gives birth and undergoes confinement, the experiment will be roughly completed.
When the time comes, we will produce things that work, and continue researching things that don’t work.
After reading the book for a long time, Lai Yueqi felt a little sleepy, so she opened her mouth and let out a long and slow yawn.
After yawning, Lai Yueqi's eyes lit up again, and she saw a strange ancient pagoda painted on the scroll in her hand.
The stone tower in this picture has a strange shape and unique style.
The stone tower is straight, large at the top and bottom and narrowed in the middle. The middle is long and strip-shaped, a bit like the inside of a gourd. But the outside is without any decoration, and it has eight edges when going down the mountain.
But it has no eaves and no corners, which is very strange.
Upon closer inspection, it looks like an hourglass. However, the annotation next to it has been clearly written, and it is solid in the center. It can be seen that there is nothing inside the tower.
"Why did the ancient demon god build such a strange stone tower?" With this thought in mind, Lai Yueqi concentrated again and took a closer look.
At this glance, I really don't know what to look at, and I am shocked when I look at it.
After Lai Yueqi repeatedly read the annotations and notes next to it, she was even more surprised.
Her new discovery opened her eyes and gave her a new understanding of the past of the underworld.
Before this, Lai Yueqi never imagined that demon gods could create such miraculous creations.
What she sees now was just the conjectures and hopes of many craftsmen in the ghost world in the past. But she didn't know that the demon god thousands of years ago had turned their conjectures and hopes into facts.
Now that Lai Yueqi knew this, excitement surged from the bottom of her heart.
"Come here, please, my lord, please please my lord and your wife." Lai Yueqi, who had been stunned for a long time, the first thing she did after reacting was to shout excitedly to the maids and palace people around her: "Hurry, hurry up
Go and invite them."
Lai Yueqi must tell Xiao Shizhu and Ghost Mother about this new discovery.
The maids and palace officials didn't know what was going on. They all stayed where they were, looking at each other, and no one moved.
"Go quickly." Immediately afterwards, Lai Yueqi hurriedly urged.
The palace maids and palace maids, who were at a loss for a moment, did not dare to neglect, and had no intention of asking any more questions. They immediately selected a few palace maids who could walk quickly and rushed out, heading straight to the Juexiang Garden.
Lai Yueqi took a deep breath, controlled her excitement a little, and then slowly put down the book in her hand.
But his face and eyes were still full of excitement and excitement.
On the scroll she put down, on the page she opened, next to the picture of the stone tower structure, at the very edge of the page, there was a line of red ghost characters written - Thousand Miles of Shadow Tower.
This ancient god's creation is Lai Yueqi's new discovery, and it is also the reason why she is so excited now.
Next to the name of this picture, the translated note written by the devil clearly describes the function of the stone tower: "A communication device that can transmit the phantom images and sounds of ghosts to thousands of miles away."
