Guide to the Empress becoming a God

Chapter 1256 The money is gone

Xing Yushan nodded: "I know about this. Next year, the seven-year line will strengthen the coastal defense, protect the people and fishery projects, and the additional payment will be used for this."

Xing Yutang frowned: "The last time the reinforcement was done, the common people didn't raise their salaries. Why did they increase their income this time? There haven't been any major construction projects in these years."

Xing Yushan sighed: "It is true that there have been no major construction projects in these years, but there is one thing that has not happened yet, but it has to be prepared."

After finishing speaking, Xing Yushan looked at Xing Yutang, his eyes were full of concern and asked: "How is father's body? Can you give me an accurate answer?"

Xing Yutang was taken aback for a moment, and his voice suddenly raised: "Brother, are you planning for your father's offspring?"

Facing Xing Yutang's surprised eyes, Xing Yushan looked a little embarrassed: "I don't know what to do!"

"Even people like Island Master Wen failed to cross the tribulation. Two years ago, there was news that my father was in ill health, and now he is only willing to see you alone, even me."

"If it was you instead, can you not think of other places?"

Xing Yushan sighed helplessly.

Xing Yutang lowered his eyes to hide the emotion in his eyes, and asked: "Since elder brother has doubts, why didn't you come to ask me? Why didn't you discuss with me about the increase in payment? Instead, you asked your cousin?"

Hearing that he changed the name of Xing Suhan from "Second Brother" to "Cousin" Xing Yushan, he knew that Xing Yutang was unhappy.

However, Xing Yushan has always been good-tempered, and patiently explained: "Suhan was originally responsible for collecting and paying the salaries of those cities. At the beginning of the year, I was thinking about this matter. He happened to be in front of me, so I casually mentioned it."

"Suhan felt that what I said was reasonable, and he also felt that this matter should be prepared in advance. He suggested to me that it is better to pay from a few richer towns first, and then take turns, so as not to disturb the people's voice. blame……"

Xing Yutang didn't wait for Xing Yushan to finish speaking and got up and said: "I just want to tell my brother, father is still healthy!"

After finishing speaking, Xing Yutang stepped out of the study.

After people had left the cross courtyard of the study, Xing Yutang's sound transmission came from Xing Yushan's spiritual consciousness.

"Brother, think about it carefully. Could it be that the people won't complain if we conquer a few cities first?"

"Brother, how do you not know: don't worry about widows, but worry about inequality, don't worry about poverty, but worry about uneasiness. It doesn't matter if the people are poor, but the most disturbing thing is that the law is not uniform, and people's hearts are unstable!"

Xing Yushan stared at the door of the study in a daze: "Don't worry about scarcity but inequality... Am I wrong again?"

Lowering his head, the piece of paper written with nursery rhymes fell into Xing Yushan's eyes again, and Xing Yushan frowned even tighter.

He also wondered if the person sung in the nursery rhyme was his cousin Xing Suhan, but one thing he was sure of was that Xing Yutang was indeed more capable and cunning than him in handling government affairs.

It's not unreasonable for my father to be partial.

However, he didn't tell Xing Yutang about it because he didn't think it was a big deal and there was no need to disturb his brother's cultivation.

He also wanted to relieve Xing Yutang of some trivial matters in government affairs. Could this be wrong?
Xing Yushan suddenly felt very tired.

A cousin who has worked with you for many years is not to be trusted.

His biological brother did not understand him.

Xing Yushan suddenly missed his father very much.

----

He Ji suddenly missed the suzerain very much.

Since he entered Canglang City, he hadn't seen the suzerain for several days.

The suzerain has been shutting himself in his room these days, and has never come out once.

He, his master, and Uncle Zhongkun are quite at leisure. They have nothing to do and can go out for a stroll.

His master would not go out for a walk.

When the suzerain is in the inn, the master will not go anywhere, just like in the town of Huntun back then.

If the master didn't go out, he also stayed in the inn.

The master served the suzerain with peace of mind, so he served the master with peace of mind. How could he feel that this was also a kind of inheritance.

However, He Ji found that Uncle Zhongkun often went out during this time, especially at night.

For several nights, He Ji saw Uncle Zhongkun coming back at the end of the ugly hour.

And he felt that Uncle Zhongkun didn't seem very happy.

He Ji also discovered that the ancient silver storage ring on Uncle Zhongkun's right hand seemed to be missing.

But he wasn't sure, so He Ji decided to stay in the corridor tonight.

He wanted to see if the ring on Uncle Zhongkun's hand was missing.

He was alone in the quiet corridor, He Ji felt a little bored, so he stretched his legs out of the railing and swung around.

His spiritual root opened late, and the master said that he had already passed the best age for practice, and the quality of his spiritual root was also average, so the master never forced him to practice hard.

He Ji thinks this is already very good, the master and suzerain are the people he likes, he can be with the people he likes every day, even if he can't cultivate into a god, He Ji also feels very happy.

Just when He Ji was happy, there was the sound of dull footsteps coming up the wooden stairs.

He Ji's dangling legs stopped moving.

He knew that Uncle Zhongkun had returned.

He took out the constant dial in his arms and took a look, it was indeed about the same time as the master uncle came back yesterday.

When the dull footsteps stepped up the last wooden steps, He Ji turned his head and looked at Master Zhongkun's right hand.

The ring is gone.

really!
He Ji moved his gaze upwards, and met Master Zhongkun's slightly reddened eyes.

He knew that the uncle had been drinking.

With a calm expression, He Ji saluted, then turned and walked to his room.

Zhong Kun just nodded, without looking at He Ji, he pushed open his door and walked in.

He Ji didn't go back to his room, and he didn't knock on the door, he pushed open the door of Master's room and walked in.

In the room, Bo Chengxian was sitting cross-legged in front of the tea table by the window, and he was meditating in meditation. The spirit qi lingering around him merged into his body little by little, and it was gradually condensing into substance.

He Ji's eyes were full of envy and admiration.

The master is about to hit the late stage of the Nascent Soul in the near future, and his master's talent is considered the best among his peers, Shiboli.

Qi breath gradually subsided, Bo Chengxian opened his eyes and looked at He Ji who broke in without even knocking on the door, and was about to ask.

He Ji first put a finger on his own lips.

This movement is learned from the suzerain, which means don't talk.

Bo Chengxian also knew that He Ji learned this movement from Yan Yan, shook his head and smiled, and immediately opened his own barrier.

"What's the matter? You don't practice, why are you walking around at night?"

Although it was a reproach, Bo Chengxian's tone didn't really imply any reproach.

He Ji leaned over, frowned and said: "There is something, the apprentice doesn't know whether to tell the master or not."

Bo Seung-hyun raised his eyebrows and looked at him.

He Ji rubbed his nose: "Apprentice discovered that Uncle Zhongkun's silver ring is missing."

The gentleness on Bo Chengxian's face gradually subsided: "Did you see clearly?"

Seeing that even the master became serious, He Ji nodded quickly: "Yesterday, I found out that it was gone, but the apprentice is not sure. Today, I specially guarded the uncle's return, and the apprentice saw it clearly tonight!"

Bo Chengxian's expression changed immediately.

Bo Chengxian knew that all their entanglements were stored in the ring He Ji mentioned!
