Chapter 108. 107. Faith Casts Spirit Coins, the Great Controversy
Chapter 108 107. Belief in casting spirit coins, a great battle
Ning An stared at the spirit fruit in Bian Que's hand for a long time before going forward to pick it up.
[Special spiritual fruit, which can change one's body constitution and blood after swallowing it]
Looking at the introduction, Ning An's eyes lit up, this is a good thing.
Quickly asked: "How many special spiritual fruits like this are there in this orchard?"
After hearing this, Bian Que quickly replied: "I would like to report to the Heavenly Emperor, the spiritual orchard has been planted in Shennong Valley for more than a month, and only three of this special spiritual fruit have been produced so far..."
In one month, such a large forest orchard only produced three special fruits.
Ning An was taken aback by this statistic.
This probability is a bit low.
Originally, he wanted to swallow one to try, but considering that the production of this spirit fruit is scarce, compared with the soldiers in the army, his own demand is not great.
So, after thinking about it, he said: "Then send it to General Yue and the others later. If the Spirit Orchard produces new fruits in the future, they will be sent first."
Bian Que was taken aback, and asked: "Emperor, don't you try it? The old minister is holding these fruits in his hand, and he feels that they are unusual just by smelling them."
Bian Que swallowed as he spoke.
Ning An smiled and said: "I stay in the palace all year round, unlike General Yue and the others who often fight on the battlefield, they need these more, and I can take it easy."
When Bian Que heard this, his expression froze, and finally he expressed admiration and emotion: "Heavenly Emperor is holy!"
"Go, let someone send them there quickly."
Ning An waved his hand, and Bian Que stepped back immediately.
Bian Que's speed was very fast, and the three fruits were quickly sent to the army.
After learning the magical effect of the fruit, and the news that even the emperor of heaven was reluctant to taste it, Yue Fei and the others were also full of shame.
He took the initiative to distribute the three fruits to Bai Qi and the others: "Several generals, invite you first, Yue is waiting."
After everyone gave in for a while, it was finally Yue Fei who spoke. Bai Qi, Wang Jian, and Li Mu belonged to the four major legions. No matter their seniority or other things, they all had the most prestige in the army, so the three of them were the first to try.
After giving in, Bai Qi and the others swallowed the fruit, squinted their eyes, and meditated on the spot, feeling the changes in their bodies carefully.
About a quarter of an hour later, Bai Qi and the others stood up one by one, with excited faces: "It's really a miracle! After swallowing this fruit, not to mention blood churning, strength doubled, and even some hidden diseases in the lower body seemed to be cured instantly."
Wang Jian also nodded: "That's right, Wang was planning to find a book of spells to cure hidden diseases in his body in the future, but he didn't expect to be solved by a small fruit today."
Li Mu didn't say much, just nodded, his expression was similar to that of Bai Qi and the others.
Bian Que took note of all the changes in the bodies of the generals after they ate the fruits of the mutation, and then he left immediately.
He is a doctor, and he has formed the habit of recording any slight changes in the 'patient'.
This mutated fruit has such a good effect, naturally he will not let it go.
At this time, in the palace.
Ning An met a special guest.
It was a middle-aged man with a mustache, leading a camel in his hand. This camel was much taller and burlier than ordinary camels, at least twice its size.
There is also a hut supported on the back of the camel, which seems to be able to accommodate a person.
He was brought in front of Ning An by the guards, and immediately knelt down and said, "Wu Donghai pays homage to Emperor Daning!"
Wu's surname?
Ning An looked at the man in front of him in surprise.
The overall appearance and skin color are not much different from those of Chinese people, but some edges and corners are more protruding, which looks more like a mixed race.
Today, when the guard said that a man with a strange appearance wanted to see him, he refused at first.
Now there are more than 3000 million people in Daning, and everyone wants to see him, so how can there be so much effort.
But later the guards reported that the man said he would send a big gift to the Emperor of Heaven, and if there was any falsehood, let him deal with it.
After hearing such a confident guarantee, Ning An finally became interested and summoned this person.
Looking at Wu Donghai who was kneeling on the ground, Ning An waved his hands: "Get up, I heard that you have a big gift for me?"
Wu Donghai stood up slowly, nodded with a smile, and said, "I'm from Cruise Island."
Cruising the island?
Ning An frowned, tried his best to recall, and finally confirmed that there is no such island in Daning, because Daning itself is inland, and there is no island at all.
After Wu Donghai finished the introduction, he immediately explained to Ning An: "The Emperor of Heaven must be very confused now, he must have never heard of the power of Xunyou Island."
"Actually, the location of Cruise Island is far away from Daning, and our mission is to travel through the foggy world and trade with countries and races."
"Because we have a camel in the sea of clouds, it is the only spirit beast that can travel through the fog without getting lost. Over the years, it has carried us around, passing through countries and seeing different customs and customs."
"Now, we have arrived in Daning for the first time."
A camel that can travel through the mist?Even he doesn't have this ability.
When Ning An heard this, his eyes lit up immediately, and he looked at the camel behind Wu Donghai with fiery eyes.
Wu Donghai seemed to be used to Ning An's eyes for a long time. He smiled and said, "Your Majesty the Great Emperor Daning, you have such a huge country and so many people. Shuttle in the world, but it will not bring you much use, but it will make you lose your mind and even get lost in various worlds, thus ignoring your own country and people."
"Besides, this camel in the sea of clouds grew up with us. It has been eclipsed and stayed overnight for 100 years. We have been with each other for a long time. Even if you kill it, you can't get it. Why don't you let me continue to drive it? Travel through various foggy worlds and provide you with different trading items."
Wu Donghai's words directly put the greed in people's hearts on the surface.
Although the straightforward words are too straightforward, they can solve a lot of troubles.
He patiently explained everything to Ning An, including many details.
Ning An listened, and finally understood what kind of power Cruise Island was.
This is a special island, and there are many people like Wu Donghai in it. They drive camels in the sea of clouds, travel through various foggy worlds, and whenever they go to a country, they will visit the king of this country.
Then they will take out various instruments or rare treasures for trading.
Because no one, including people like Ning An, can travel through the foggy world, and naturally they cannot obtain magic weapons from other places. Therefore, the appearance of Wu Donghai can solve this problem.
Moreover, in order to prevent other people from arousing greed when they arrive in the local area, all the spiritual weapons in their hands are sealed in a special mithril box, which contains special mechanisms that require a drop of their blood and only they themselves know. The spell can only be undone.
If an outsider takes the box and forcibly dismantles it, it will only touch the mechanism inside, causing the Mithril box to self-destruct, and at the same time, it will be blacklisted by Parade Island.
After listening to the explanation, Ning An fully understood what Parade Island was for. It was a group of businessmen who relied on special abilities to run businesses to earn rewards.
Moreover, it is still a monopoly.
This is a very profitable industry, and Ning An is somewhat envious.
Soon, Ning An shifted his attention and looked at Wu Donghai: "What do you want to trade with me when you come to see me? And what is the big gift you are talking about?"
After hearing this, Wu Donghai smiled and took out a box from the wooden house on the camel's back.
The box was not opened, after he opened it, there were many mithril boxes piled up inside.
He took out a box from it and handed it to Ning An: "Your Majesty, whether a country is strong or not depends on how much its people believe in their king."
"This is a template that can convert faith into spirit coins. I think you will definitely need it."
Belief?Spirit coins?
Ning An knew what faith was. It was probably what Fa Zhi told him before. When the people enshrined the golden body of the Heavenly Emperor at home and worshiped devoutly, faith was born. The higher the faith, the faster they would cultivate.
And the thing in front of him can convert the national beliefs into spiritual coins.
Lingbi sounds like a kind of transaction currency, but Ning An still doesn't know what its specific function is. He has to wait for Wu Donghai's explanation.
Wu Donghai saw Ning An's doubts, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this spirit coin is the most important existence in the universe, because it is connected with beliefs, and the higher the people's faith, the higher the purity of the spirit coin. The greater the role and energy efficiency it plays.”
"With spirit coins, you can conduct trade with various countries, and you can use spirit coins to buy magical instruments or some special materials."
Ning An thought about it: "You mean to let me use spirit coins to buy the magic weapon in your hand? Then you are earning some rebates from it, that is to say, in addition to using spirit coins to buy magic weapons, I also have to give Do you have some spirit coins as a reward?"
Wu Donghai smiled and nodded immediately after hearing this: "Great Heavenly Emperor Daning, you are the smartest emperor I have ever seen. I believe that under your leadership, Daning will surely prosper, the people will live and work in peace, and the country will be peaceful."
Ning An remained silent, ignoring Wu Donghai's flattery.
But he still said: "When more foggy worlds are unlocked in the future, I will trade with them directly. Why do I need to ask you to be this middleman?"
Wu Donghai smiled after hearing this: "Your Majesty, you may not know how big this universe is, it is endless...a country like yours, I know there are millions of people...it may be far away Not only that, some countries are as far away as the world from your Daning, even if you have the strength of the Nascent Soul Stage, you may not be able to fly there for 100 years..."
Wu Donghai's words are not sure whether they are true or exaggerated, but when he talked about the Nascent Soul Stage, Ning An's face changed slightly, and the other party could see through his cultivation at a glance, which is not easy.
As for people like Wu Donghai, there are many, many more on their cruise island, and this cruise island is very powerful.
And at present, it sounds more like a neutral force.
Ning An was thoughtful, and asked: "I have dealt with some immortals who claimed to be from the fairy world before, if according to what you just said, there are millions of people in a country like my Daning, what about the fairy world? How much does it have?"
Wu Donghai looked at Ning An, pondered for a while, and then smiled, "Your Majesty, because of our first meeting, I can give you this information for free."
"The fairyland is just a general term. It doesn't exist in another world. In fact, it is also in this foggy world."
"It's just because they have more and more beliefs. In the later stages of development, their overall strength far surpasses yours. You said that the fairy gate above Daning... can be understood as a simple and fast way to your country. The portal, its function is to better occupy your territory."
"If you are strong enough, you can completely destroy them, or in other words, you can even use this door to counter-invade them..."
Anti-invasion fairyland...
When Ning An heard this, a shadow immediately left in his heart.
Wu Donghai didn't want to mention it too much, he returned to the topic: "Master Tiandi, I came to your country this time because I can feel that you are getting stronger and stronger. I believe that it will not take long for you to come into contact with more countries and more people." The vast world, this time I came here just to give you these templates that can create spirit coins."
"I hope that when you come back next time, your country can still exist, and I can trade with you with the spirit coins produced here."
Ning An heard some clues from Wu Donghai's words. It should be that Daning's development has broken through a certain bottleneck, and the surrounding foggy world will be unlocked on a large scale.
After unlocking, you may need to buy some magic weapons to strengthen your country.
But to buy a magic weapon, you must use spirit coins.
So, Wu Donghai came.
"Thank you for letting me know, but although I don't have spirit coins in my hand now, I do have some small items. Are you interested?"
As Ning An spoke, he took out a purple gold crown and some broken magic weapons from his backpack.
The purple golden crown was taken off from Lu Fengxian last time in the battlefield of the heavens, and the damaged magic weapon is the inheritance left by the monks who besieged Lu Fengxian.
Wu Donghai was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect that Ning An would have a magic weapon in his hand. According to the normal development of a country, Daning's current comprehensive strength should not be able to produce a magic weapon.
After all, even the establishment of foundations for all the people has not yet been achieved.
However, when he saw Zijinguan, Wu Donghai froze.
He hurriedly stepped forward to pick it up, put it in his hand for a long time, and finally said: "This should be Lu Fengxian's purple gold crown... You have been to the battlefield of the heavens..."
"It seems that Lu Fengxian's death has something to do with you..."
Wu Donghai muttered something, but he didn't ask any further questions, but his eyes were a little more shocked. It's unbelievable that a monk in the Nascent Soul stage survived on the third floor of the battlefield of the heavens, and even got Lu Fengxian's purple gold crown.
Although shocked and puzzled, Wu Donghai didn't ask any further questions. Their rule is that no gossip and prying are allowed.
After seeing the Purple Gold Crown, Wu Donghai also became interested. He took out mithril boxes from his backpack and said, "Your Majesty, according to the market price, I took out a magic weapon corresponding to the level of the Purple Gold Crown. You can Pick and see if there is anything you need."
"As for the broken instruments next to it... Even if it is not broken, I am not interested in it, but you can try to disassemble them, maybe you can get some scattered special materials, or throw them directly into the refining furnace Straight to remelting."
Ning An nodded, since Wu Donghai didn't want to be interested in the damaged magic weapon, he could only exchange it with the Purple Gold Crown for useful ones.
Walking in front of Wu Donghai, Ning An took a look.
There are seven or eight mithril boxes, large and small, each the size of a palm.
But when you hold it in the palm of your hand, you can sense what is placed inside.
Seeing Ning An picking up the first box, Wu Donghai immediately explained: "This is a cloak that can conceal the effect of your own breath, as long as the other party's cultivation level does not exceed two realms of yours, then he will not be able to sense your presence , at this time, all you have to do is to find a place to hide your figure, so as not to be seen by his naked eyes."
After hearing this, Ning An silently put it down and walked to the next one.
Looking at the second box, Wu Donghai continued to explain patiently: "This is a magic weapon like a sword. It can expand and contract on its own. I think that if you face many enemies chasing you, maybe you can try to turn it into a box. Block the wall and block the road behind to prevent the enemy from pursuing."
After hearing this, Ning An couldn't help but ask, "Can it be stretched? Is it the same as the Ruyi Golden Cudgel?"
Wu Donghai smiled awkwardly: "Of course it's far beyond comparison."
Ning An immediately lost interest and silently put it down.
Next, he looked at the rest of the boxes in succession, and none of them was satisfactory to him in the end.
Seeing that Ning An did not find his favorite magic weapon, Wu Donghai comforted him: "It doesn't matter, Your Majesty, you can wait for me to come back next time. Now I am in charge of Daning, and I will come once a month." , when the time comes, I will bring some novelties over, and you can see if you are satisfied."
Ning An nodded, thought for a while, and said, "What do you think our Daning lacks the most?"
Wu Donghai was stunned, thought for a while, and said: "Da Ning is flourishing, the monarch is wise, the ministers are diligent, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, I don't see anything lacking, but regarding your Majesty the Emperor of Heaven..."
Ning An glanced at Wu Donghai's hesitation, and immediately said, "Please speak up."
Wu Donghai said softly: "How can the king of this country have no heirs? I travel through the mist and travel all over the world, but I have never seen a king who is as lonely as you. To put it bluntly, the heirs are The most important thing for a country is that if there are no heirs, if something happens to the king of the country one day, wouldn't the country have no successors?"
Ning An's expression slowly froze, and finally nodded indifferently: "I see."
Wu Donghai chuckled: "Then I will resign first, and I have to go to the next one... Let's see each other in a month..."
After Wu Donghai left, Ning An shook his head to dispel distracting thoughts.
In the conversation with Wu Donghai just now, he analyzed many situations.
The most important of these is probably the foggy world around Daning, which may usher in a large-scale unlock.
Daning will also meet more countries!
The last time Yumenguan encountered the Golden Horde Khanate, this is one of the four major borders. What if the four major borders unlock the fog at the same time and encounter the invasion of four countries at once?
Ning An frowned, and immediately issued another order. The plan to increase the troops of the major legions is no longer 30, but 50!
The four major inland armies and the four border armies add up to 400 million.
According to normal calculations, ten people usually support one soldier. Daning has a total population of 3000 million, but it has to supply 400 million soldiers. In the past, it must have exceeded the budget.
But now that there is Shennong Valley, there is no need to dispatch a large number of people to grow herbs and food, and as the number of people who build the foundation increases, the daily consumption of food and grass will become less and less. The demand will be reduced to the minimum. At that time, food reserves are only prepared for the convenience of annexing other countries in the future, absorbing new populations and new civilians.
The Emperor of Heaven once again issued an order to increase troops, and the commanders of the major legions did not hesitate to start recruiting directly.
It's only been a month since the last recruiting, and now a large number of recruits have begun, and the atmosphere in the whole Daning has become serious.
No one is a fool. From the actions of the Emperor of Heaven, it is not difficult to see that a new war is coming.
When the major legions were recruiting soldiers, Ning An went directly to Tiangong Pavilion and handed over the spirit coin template to Lu Ban.
This thing is obviously much simpler than studying any blueprints. It is a complete template, and you only need to follow the above.
In front of Ning An, Lu Ban spent an hour making a pattern.
Ning An looked at it. It was a coin with a purple halo. It was crystal clear and had a somewhat transparent texture. It was cold in the palm of his hand.
Holding a bamboo tube in his hand, Lu Ban looked at the words on it and said, "To the Emperor of Heaven, casting spiritual coins requires the faith of the people, and you need to do this yourself."
Ning An nodded, according to the content on the bamboo tube, tightly holding the spirit coin in his hand.
Consciousness began to travel to the sky, and in the dark, there was more communication and exchange with Daning's national destiny.
A strange feeling rose in Ning An's mind. He seemed to see a cloud cluster like a dragon, which represented Daning's national destiny.
Ning An made a request to Yun Tuan.
The cloud group swayed slightly, and Ning An felt the spirit coin in his palm was hot, and there was a rolling warmth.
Then, Fa found that another breath in the spirit coin was constantly rising.
Discern carefully, these auras are exactly the power of belief of the entire Daning people in themselves.
The beliefs of each citizen are different, and every time a group of beliefs are fused together, a spirit coin can be produced.
These powers of faith that had been accumulated for a long time broke out directly at this moment.
Its number rose crazily, and soon broke through the [-] mark.
One hundred thousand does not sound like much, but it cannot be compared with ordinary Fan coins.
In the end, the number of Lingcoins stayed at 13 before slowing down the growth rate.
At the end, the speed of spiritual coins formed by the power of faith became slower and slower, and there were fewer and fewer. Ning An knew that it should have reached its peak.
With this ability, Ning An found that he could also observe the degree of belief that the entire Daning people had in him.
Among them, the first to follow him, that is, the original Dazhou territory, these aborigines have the highest level of belief, so they also contributed the most, and then began to gradually decrease towards the periphery.
From the seven countries that were annexed later, to the sixteen countries that were annexed recently, the farther you go, the farther you are from the capital, the less faith those people provide.
Ning An almost had a general idea in mind.
The power of faith is actually the same as loyalty. In the ruling list, the one who is most loyal to oneself will provide the most faith, and vice versa.
Therefore, in order to gain more faith, the loyalty of the people of Daning must be increased.
But now, with a huge population of 3000 million people, if you want to collectively increase their loyalty, the money and materials that need to be consumed are incalculable, and the current Daning cannot support it at all.
And there is another problem, that is, with the passage of time, there will be more and more successful foundation builders, and fewer and fewer ordinary people. beyond ordinary people.
Therefore, increasing loyalty must be accelerated.
"Tax cuts, I want to cut taxes!"
After Ning An figured it out, he gritted his teeth and said immediately.
Lu Ban on the one side looked confused, wondering why the Emperor of Heaven suddenly clamored for tax cuts, but it must be a good thing for the people to reduce taxes, he thought about it, and immediately said: "The Emperor of Heaven is merciful!"
After leaving Tiangong Pavilion, Ning An returned directly to the palace, and then issued an order to Guan Zhong, ordering him to implement the tax reduction policy.
This sudden order also made Guan Zhong confused. He is now serving in the cabinet. It is not a major national event. He can write on behalf of the emperor. He has to deal with a mountain of official affairs every day. Now that Ning An's order has come down, he can't sit still. He rushed to the palace and asked to meet the Emperor of Heaven.
In this country, it is a good thing for the king to be kind, but tax cuts cannot be done casually. This depends on the overall level of the country.
Guan Zhong felt that the country's taxation is already very reasonable. If it is reduced or exempted, the treasury will be too much to bear. Is it possible that the treasury will be empty every year when the financial report is made every year?
Without waiting for Guan Zhong to explain a lot of truths, Ning An informed him of the situation of Lingbi first.
Guan Zhong was taken aback, he naturally knew the importance, now is the world of immortal cultivators, the role of this spirit coin must be far greater than others.
So, instead of persuading Ning An, he nodded, "Please rest assured, the emperor, I will go down and make preparations, and immediately implement the tax reduction policy."
The policy of tax reduction is urgent. This is the fastest way to increase the loyalty of the people. Guan Zhong knew the importance. After leaving the palace, he non-stop called the officials of various ministries to start discussing countermeasures.
On Ning An's side, he continued to cultivate immortals. A qualified king must be good at discovering the abilities of his subjects. It is enough to leave all matters to his subordinates. As long as they are loyal, there is no need to worry about everything.
As for him, he continued to practice, and at the same time ordered the border soldiers to pay more attention to the situation of the fog, and if there was any sign of unlocking, he would report it immediately.
Five days later...
Name: Ning An
Cultivation: Nascent Soul Stage
Aura value: 28963/1000000
At the Nascent Soul stage, Ning An would feel that his cultivation was not growing fast enough every time he looked at the breakthrough requirements.
Although people have to practice in seclusion for at least 100 years to reach the Nascent Soul stage...
But I'm still too slow...
"Report to the Emperor of Heaven, General Yue asks to see you."
The eunuch outside the door screamed.
Ning An came back to his senses: "Let him in."
There was the sound of walking, and Yue Fei entered the hall with a list.
Kneeling in front of Ning An: "Yue Fei pays homage to the Emperor of Heaven."
Ning An waved his hand: "But there is a change at the border?"
Yue Fei got up slowly, shook his head and said, "I would like to report to the Emperor of Heaven, the border has been very quiet recently, and there has been no abnormal movement. Finally, I am here to collect statistics on the recruitment of each battalion, and hereby submit it to the Emperor of Heaven."
Hearing that there was no change in the border, Ning An nodded silently. He has two moods now. One is that he hopes that the border will be unlocked slowly so that Daning will have more time to develop, and the other is that he hopes that it will be unlocked faster so that Daning If you can continue to fight in all directions, you can replenish some treasury.
After the implementation of the tax reduction policy, although the loyalty of the people has increased a lot, the daily expenses of the treasury are still there. They are all spending now, and there is no extra money in the account. If this continues, the tax reduction policy will be suspended. Or wait for the fog on the border to unlock, and go directly to snatch neighboring countries.
For robbing neighboring countries, Ning'an has no burden in his heart. If you don't rob others, others will definitely come to rob you. If you want the people of Ning to be less persecuted by war and live in a comfortable environment, you must quickly unify the border countries.
Without opponents, the country will naturally be at peace.
Without thinking too much, I took the list from Yue Fei.
Ning An checked it carefully.
The list is detailed, concise, and free of superfluous nonsense.
Yue Fei of the Qinglong Camp, Bai Qi of the Baihu Camp, Wang Jian of the Zhuque Camp, and Li Mu of the Xuanwu Camp, the strength of each regiment: 50.A total of 200 million, all soldiers are above the foundation stage, and four of the main generals have reached the alchemy stage.
The four major armies guarding the border, Meng Tian's Mengjia Army guarded the Yumen Pass in the east, Wuqi's Wei Wuzu guarded the Shanhaiguan Pass in the south, Lianpo's Wuling cavalry guarded the Qinling Pass in the west, and Tian Dan's Fire Bull Armored Guards guarded the North Pass. At Yanmen Pass, the strength of each of them is also maintained at 50, for a total of 200 million.
The same is true for the general, who swallowed the special mutated spiritual fruit, and his aptitude and blood have been significantly improved, and he also swallowed a large number of ordinary spiritual fruits every day without side effects. Because they have all reached the alchemy stage.
These are all piled up with money...
However, Ning An felt that it was all worth the money.
The generals under his command are all going to fight the world for him, and there will be no rewards and gains if he doesn't pay. He doesn't feel bad about it at all.
Today's Daning has a strong national power and sufficient military strength. The only shortcoming is the lack of money.
He needs a lot of money to increase the loyalty of his people, and then he can better harvest their faith in exchange for spirit coins.
Ning An himself felt that he was an old capitalist. While practicing every day, harvesting the spirit value of the people below, and at the same time harvesting their power of faith, this leek was not counted after a cut, and it would be cut again, which is really familiar.
"I have seen the efforts of all the generals, and the progress of the training of soldiers recently must not be slackened. After all, no one knows who the next enemy we will face will be."
Ning An put the list back, and finally boosted morale again.
Yue Fei and the others all had firm faces, their eyes were full of fighting spirit, and they all clasped their fists together: "I will live up to the entrustment of the Emperor of Heaven, and I will never hesitate to die!"
Ning An nodded, waved his hand again, and the officials left.
In the following days, except for the occasional visit to Tiangong Pavilion, Ning An basically continued to practice in the palace.
In reality, I occasionally look at the current trending searches every few days to understand the situation outside.
After the humans and the monsters joined forces, the cracks have almost been cleaned up.
In reality, the number of people building foundations is also constantly increasing. Everyone is full of expectations and visions for the future. Many people even speak frequently, wanting to see a wider world. what does it look like.
Ning An could only smile and shake his head at such remarks.
Now, in reality, the key to open the door of the fairy world is in his hands. He has been holding this key firmly and has not let others get it. Otherwise, the key will be left outside, and some fool will open it one day. As far as it is concerned, it is a real disaster.
These people who threaten to go to the outside world every day are afraid that they will be beaten countless times by the society.
Cultivation continues.
In this way, another five days passed.
Finally, getting information today is different.
According to Ning An's request, a piece of information must be passed on to the border every day to inform them of the situation.
For a long time, the border has been safe and sound, without any changes, and the black fog has always maintained that concentration.
But today, the latest information has changed. It is no longer safe and sound, but an urgent information with a hand-drawn map.
The hand-drawn map is very simple, but it allows Ning An to understand the current situation on the border as quickly as possible.
This time, the black mist disappeared without any warning, and Daning was directly facing the surrounding countries.
On the map, there is an extra river to the north of Daning. According to the information, the river is very wide. The exact size has not yet been calculated. Anyway, it directly isolates Daning from the opposite country, forming a natural river. barrier.
And along the river to the other three sides, there are also branches. Although the land is still the mainstream, it seems to be faster to walk from the river.
To the west is a mountain range, the mountain is steep, and it is not clear what country is on the opposite side. There are many trails in the mountain, but it is very difficult to walk.
On the southeast side, there are land and plains, which are very vast. The countries leading to these two sides have a lot of information, more than before. The specific data cannot be counted for the time being, because the intelligence network cannot be extended to the opposite side.
Ning An continued to scroll down.
Among them, rivers and mountains are specifically mentioned.
According to Ning An's original thinking, the rivers and mountains are actually nothing. Now the minimum requirement for lieutenant officers and soldiers are foundation-building stage monks. If they want to go to the opposite country, they can directly control the sky.
However, it was mentioned in the intelligence that there is miasma and fierce beasts in this mountain. Many soldiers were sent to investigate on the border of Daning, but they never returned. This means that it is impossible to travel in the sky.
The same is true for the waterway in the north. This big river is not as calm as it looks on the surface. Involve the monks and grind them to pieces, leaving no bones left!
The mountains and waterways are full of dangers, and the only safe place is the land plain on the southeast side. This will be the area that Daning needs to focus on, and it will also be a high-risk area for wars.
At present, the Junji Pavilion has ordered that Li Mu lead the Xuanwu Battalion to support the Shanhai Pass in the south, and Wang Jian leads the Suzaku Battalion to assist the Yumen Pass in the east.
Yue Fei's Qinglong camp and Bai Qi's Baihu camp temporarily stayed inland to wait for dispatch.
In addition to these countries and terrain, the intelligence also highlighted that among these countries, there are many more resource-rich treasure lands.
For example, there are mines rich in ore, large forests rich in trees, and, moreover, there are the most critical spiritual stone mines and so on.
These resources are special resources, no matter whether it is ore or forest, they are not the same as in the mortal kingdom. They are rare in number and their value is immeasurable. If they are sent to the craftsmen of various countries, they will definitely exert miraculous effects. Grab the main target.
After reading the latest information, Ning An finally destroyed it on the spot. He took a deep breath.
Now that the border fog has finally been lifted, it is also expected that there will be many more countries, and the strength is still unknown.
Moreover, Daning is not the only one who is confused, these border countries are also very strange to these countries that appear on their borders.
However, even if they are unfamiliar, it is inevitable to go to war. Just like what Ning An thinks now, Daning will definitely send troops to these resource-rich spots.
Tiangong Pavilion now produces equipment that can be worn by monks every day. The ordinary resources have already been eliminated. Wearing it on the body of monks not only cannot provide any protection, but is also a burden.
The special material is different, it is the product of aura, which can provide vital help to monks.
Just like those magic tools, the basic materials they produce are inseparable from these special ores, as well as the spirit stone mine, the purity of the mined is also different, but even the worst, it also stimulates some magic tools An indispensable material for harmony formation.
This kind of important resource point is the primary goal for all countries to compete for. Today's Daning actually holds a very important resource point, which is Jiaolong Lake.
The dragon bred in Jiaolong Lake is the most important material for making keel bows, and the scales on the new armor that Lu Ban is currently developing are also taken from Jiaolong.
It is because of wearing these special equipment that the soldiers of Daning have greatly enhanced their combat power.
After shaking back and forth in the hall for a while, Ning An thought about it, took out Fang Tianji, went to the Military Aircraft Pavilion, and met Yue Fei and Bai Qi.
"The two generals should also know the current situation on the border. I decided to go to fight for the resource point by myself."
As Ning An said, Fang Tianji pointed to the sand table that Yue Fei and the others had just made.
There is a forest that produces special wood, which is closest to Shanhaiguan in the south of Daning.
Knowing the importance of resources, Ning An decided to give priority to capturing the nearest resource point.
Yue Fei and Bai Qi looked at each other, they didn't stand up to stop Ning An Yujia's personal conquest, they knew the ability of the Emperor of Heaven, his cultivation level was far above them, it seemed ridiculous to say something dangerous to dissuade them.
Moreover, they are generals, so they can keenly observe the importance of resource points, so they both nodded and clasped their fists at the same time: "The last general will obey the emperor's orders!"

(End of this chapter)
Ning An stared at the spirit fruit in Bian Que's hand for a long time before going forward to pick it up.
[Special spiritual fruit, which can change one's body constitution and blood after swallowing it]
Looking at the introduction, Ning An's eyes lit up, this is a good thing.
Quickly asked: "How many special spiritual fruits like this are there in this orchard?"
After hearing this, Bian Que quickly replied: "I would like to report to the Heavenly Emperor, the spiritual orchard has been planted in Shennong Valley for more than a month, and only three of this special spiritual fruit have been produced so far..."
In one month, such a large forest orchard only produced three special fruits.
Ning An was taken aback by this statistic.
This probability is a bit low.
Originally, he wanted to swallow one to try, but considering that the production of this spirit fruit is scarce, compared with the soldiers in the army, his own demand is not great.
So, after thinking about it, he said: "Then send it to General Yue and the others later. If the Spirit Orchard produces new fruits in the future, they will be sent first."
Bian Que was taken aback, and asked: "Emperor, don't you try it? The old minister is holding these fruits in his hand, and he feels that they are unusual just by smelling them."
Bian Que swallowed as he spoke.
Ning An smiled and said: "I stay in the palace all year round, unlike General Yue and the others who often fight on the battlefield, they need these more, and I can take it easy."
When Bian Que heard this, his expression froze, and finally he expressed admiration and emotion: "Heavenly Emperor is holy!"
"Go, let someone send them there quickly."
Ning An waved his hand, and Bian Que stepped back immediately.
Bian Que's speed was very fast, and the three fruits were quickly sent to the army.
After learning the magical effect of the fruit, and the news that even the emperor of heaven was reluctant to taste it, Yue Fei and the others were also full of shame.
He took the initiative to distribute the three fruits to Bai Qi and the others: "Several generals, invite you first, Yue is waiting."
After everyone gave in for a while, it was finally Yue Fei who spoke. Bai Qi, Wang Jian, and Li Mu belonged to the four major legions. No matter their seniority or other things, they all had the most prestige in the army, so the three of them were the first to try.
After giving in, Bai Qi and the others swallowed the fruit, squinted their eyes, and meditated on the spot, feeling the changes in their bodies carefully.
About a quarter of an hour later, Bai Qi and the others stood up one by one, with excited faces: "It's really a miracle! After swallowing this fruit, not to mention blood churning, strength doubled, and even some hidden diseases in the lower body seemed to be cured instantly."
Wang Jian also nodded: "That's right, Wang was planning to find a book of spells to cure hidden diseases in his body in the future, but he didn't expect to be solved by a small fruit today."
Li Mu didn't say much, just nodded, his expression was similar to that of Bai Qi and the others.
Bian Que took note of all the changes in the bodies of the generals after they ate the fruits of the mutation, and then he left immediately.
He is a doctor, and he has formed the habit of recording any slight changes in the 'patient'.
This mutated fruit has such a good effect, naturally he will not let it go.
At this time, in the palace.
Ning An met a special guest.
It was a middle-aged man with a mustache, leading a camel in his hand. This camel was much taller and burlier than ordinary camels, at least twice its size.
There is also a hut supported on the back of the camel, which seems to be able to accommodate a person.
He was brought in front of Ning An by the guards, and immediately knelt down and said, "Wu Donghai pays homage to Emperor Daning!"
Wu's surname?
Ning An looked at the man in front of him in surprise.
The overall appearance and skin color are not much different from those of Chinese people, but some edges and corners are more protruding, which looks more like a mixed race.
Today, when the guard said that a man with a strange appearance wanted to see him, he refused at first.
Now there are more than 3000 million people in Daning, and everyone wants to see him, so how can there be so much effort.
But later the guards reported that the man said he would send a big gift to the Emperor of Heaven, and if there was any falsehood, let him deal with it.
After hearing such a confident guarantee, Ning An finally became interested and summoned this person.
Looking at Wu Donghai who was kneeling on the ground, Ning An waved his hands: "Get up, I heard that you have a big gift for me?"
Wu Donghai stood up slowly, nodded with a smile, and said, "I'm from Cruise Island."
Cruising the island?
Ning An frowned, tried his best to recall, and finally confirmed that there is no such island in Daning, because Daning itself is inland, and there is no island at all.
After Wu Donghai finished the introduction, he immediately explained to Ning An: "The Emperor of Heaven must be very confused now, he must have never heard of the power of Xunyou Island."
"Actually, the location of Cruise Island is far away from Daning, and our mission is to travel through the foggy world and trade with countries and races."
"Because we have a camel in the sea of clouds, it is the only spirit beast that can travel through the fog without getting lost. Over the years, it has carried us around, passing through countries and seeing different customs and customs."
"Now, we have arrived in Daning for the first time."
A camel that can travel through the mist?Even he doesn't have this ability.
When Ning An heard this, his eyes lit up immediately, and he looked at the camel behind Wu Donghai with fiery eyes.
Wu Donghai seemed to be used to Ning An's eyes for a long time. He smiled and said, "Your Majesty the Great Emperor Daning, you have such a huge country and so many people. Shuttle in the world, but it will not bring you much use, but it will make you lose your mind and even get lost in various worlds, thus ignoring your own country and people."
"Besides, this camel in the sea of clouds grew up with us. It has been eclipsed and stayed overnight for 100 years. We have been with each other for a long time. Even if you kill it, you can't get it. Why don't you let me continue to drive it? Travel through various foggy worlds and provide you with different trading items."
Wu Donghai's words directly put the greed in people's hearts on the surface.
Although the straightforward words are too straightforward, they can solve a lot of troubles.
He patiently explained everything to Ning An, including many details.
Ning An listened, and finally understood what kind of power Cruise Island was.
This is a special island, and there are many people like Wu Donghai in it. They drive camels in the sea of clouds, travel through various foggy worlds, and whenever they go to a country, they will visit the king of this country.
Then they will take out various instruments or rare treasures for trading.
Because no one, including people like Ning An, can travel through the foggy world, and naturally they cannot obtain magic weapons from other places. Therefore, the appearance of Wu Donghai can solve this problem.
Moreover, in order to prevent other people from arousing greed when they arrive in the local area, all the spiritual weapons in their hands are sealed in a special mithril box, which contains special mechanisms that require a drop of their blood and only they themselves know. The spell can only be undone.
If an outsider takes the box and forcibly dismantles it, it will only touch the mechanism inside, causing the Mithril box to self-destruct, and at the same time, it will be blacklisted by Parade Island.
After listening to the explanation, Ning An fully understood what Parade Island was for. It was a group of businessmen who relied on special abilities to run businesses to earn rewards.
Moreover, it is still a monopoly.
This is a very profitable industry, and Ning An is somewhat envious.
Soon, Ning An shifted his attention and looked at Wu Donghai: "What do you want to trade with me when you come to see me? And what is the big gift you are talking about?"
After hearing this, Wu Donghai smiled and took out a box from the wooden house on the camel's back.
The box was not opened, after he opened it, there were many mithril boxes piled up inside.
He took out a box from it and handed it to Ning An: "Your Majesty, whether a country is strong or not depends on how much its people believe in their king."
"This is a template that can convert faith into spirit coins. I think you will definitely need it."
Belief?Spirit coins?
Ning An knew what faith was. It was probably what Fa Zhi told him before. When the people enshrined the golden body of the Heavenly Emperor at home and worshiped devoutly, faith was born. The higher the faith, the faster they would cultivate.
And the thing in front of him can convert the national beliefs into spiritual coins.
Lingbi sounds like a kind of transaction currency, but Ning An still doesn't know what its specific function is. He has to wait for Wu Donghai's explanation.
Wu Donghai saw Ning An's doubts, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this spirit coin is the most important existence in the universe, because it is connected with beliefs, and the higher the people's faith, the higher the purity of the spirit coin. The greater the role and energy efficiency it plays.”
"With spirit coins, you can conduct trade with various countries, and you can use spirit coins to buy magical instruments or some special materials."
Ning An thought about it: "You mean to let me use spirit coins to buy the magic weapon in your hand? Then you are earning some rebates from it, that is to say, in addition to using spirit coins to buy magic weapons, I also have to give Do you have some spirit coins as a reward?"
Wu Donghai smiled and nodded immediately after hearing this: "Great Heavenly Emperor Daning, you are the smartest emperor I have ever seen. I believe that under your leadership, Daning will surely prosper, the people will live and work in peace, and the country will be peaceful."
Ning An remained silent, ignoring Wu Donghai's flattery.
But he still said: "When more foggy worlds are unlocked in the future, I will trade with them directly. Why do I need to ask you to be this middleman?"
Wu Donghai smiled after hearing this: "Your Majesty, you may not know how big this universe is, it is endless...a country like yours, I know there are millions of people...it may be far away Not only that, some countries are as far away as the world from your Daning, even if you have the strength of the Nascent Soul Stage, you may not be able to fly there for 100 years..."
Wu Donghai's words are not sure whether they are true or exaggerated, but when he talked about the Nascent Soul Stage, Ning An's face changed slightly, and the other party could see through his cultivation at a glance, which is not easy.
As for people like Wu Donghai, there are many, many more on their cruise island, and this cruise island is very powerful.
And at present, it sounds more like a neutral force.
Ning An was thoughtful, and asked: "I have dealt with some immortals who claimed to be from the fairy world before, if according to what you just said, there are millions of people in a country like my Daning, what about the fairy world? How much does it have?"
Wu Donghai looked at Ning An, pondered for a while, and then smiled, "Your Majesty, because of our first meeting, I can give you this information for free."
"The fairyland is just a general term. It doesn't exist in another world. In fact, it is also in this foggy world."
"It's just because they have more and more beliefs. In the later stages of development, their overall strength far surpasses yours. You said that the fairy gate above Daning... can be understood as a simple and fast way to your country. The portal, its function is to better occupy your territory."
"If you are strong enough, you can completely destroy them, or in other words, you can even use this door to counter-invade them..."
Anti-invasion fairyland...
When Ning An heard this, a shadow immediately left in his heart.
Wu Donghai didn't want to mention it too much, he returned to the topic: "Master Tiandi, I came to your country this time because I can feel that you are getting stronger and stronger. I believe that it will not take long for you to come into contact with more countries and more people." The vast world, this time I came here just to give you these templates that can create spirit coins."
"I hope that when you come back next time, your country can still exist, and I can trade with you with the spirit coins produced here."
Ning An heard some clues from Wu Donghai's words. It should be that Daning's development has broken through a certain bottleneck, and the surrounding foggy world will be unlocked on a large scale.
After unlocking, you may need to buy some magic weapons to strengthen your country.
But to buy a magic weapon, you must use spirit coins.
So, Wu Donghai came.
"Thank you for letting me know, but although I don't have spirit coins in my hand now, I do have some small items. Are you interested?"
As Ning An spoke, he took out a purple gold crown and some broken magic weapons from his backpack.
The purple golden crown was taken off from Lu Fengxian last time in the battlefield of the heavens, and the damaged magic weapon is the inheritance left by the monks who besieged Lu Fengxian.
Wu Donghai was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect that Ning An would have a magic weapon in his hand. According to the normal development of a country, Daning's current comprehensive strength should not be able to produce a magic weapon.
After all, even the establishment of foundations for all the people has not yet been achieved.
However, when he saw Zijinguan, Wu Donghai froze.
He hurriedly stepped forward to pick it up, put it in his hand for a long time, and finally said: "This should be Lu Fengxian's purple gold crown... You have been to the battlefield of the heavens..."
"It seems that Lu Fengxian's death has something to do with you..."
Wu Donghai muttered something, but he didn't ask any further questions, but his eyes were a little more shocked. It's unbelievable that a monk in the Nascent Soul stage survived on the third floor of the battlefield of the heavens, and even got Lu Fengxian's purple gold crown.
Although shocked and puzzled, Wu Donghai didn't ask any further questions. Their rule is that no gossip and prying are allowed.
After seeing the Purple Gold Crown, Wu Donghai also became interested. He took out mithril boxes from his backpack and said, "Your Majesty, according to the market price, I took out a magic weapon corresponding to the level of the Purple Gold Crown. You can Pick and see if there is anything you need."
"As for the broken instruments next to it... Even if it is not broken, I am not interested in it, but you can try to disassemble them, maybe you can get some scattered special materials, or throw them directly into the refining furnace Straight to remelting."
Ning An nodded, since Wu Donghai didn't want to be interested in the damaged magic weapon, he could only exchange it with the Purple Gold Crown for useful ones.
Walking in front of Wu Donghai, Ning An took a look.
There are seven or eight mithril boxes, large and small, each the size of a palm.
But when you hold it in the palm of your hand, you can sense what is placed inside.
Seeing Ning An picking up the first box, Wu Donghai immediately explained: "This is a cloak that can conceal the effect of your own breath, as long as the other party's cultivation level does not exceed two realms of yours, then he will not be able to sense your presence , at this time, all you have to do is to find a place to hide your figure, so as not to be seen by his naked eyes."
After hearing this, Ning An silently put it down and walked to the next one.
Looking at the second box, Wu Donghai continued to explain patiently: "This is a magic weapon like a sword. It can expand and contract on its own. I think that if you face many enemies chasing you, maybe you can try to turn it into a box. Block the wall and block the road behind to prevent the enemy from pursuing."
After hearing this, Ning An couldn't help but ask, "Can it be stretched? Is it the same as the Ruyi Golden Cudgel?"
Wu Donghai smiled awkwardly: "Of course it's far beyond comparison."
Ning An immediately lost interest and silently put it down.
Next, he looked at the rest of the boxes in succession, and none of them was satisfactory to him in the end.
Seeing that Ning An did not find his favorite magic weapon, Wu Donghai comforted him: "It doesn't matter, Your Majesty, you can wait for me to come back next time. Now I am in charge of Daning, and I will come once a month." , when the time comes, I will bring some novelties over, and you can see if you are satisfied."
Ning An nodded, thought for a while, and said, "What do you think our Daning lacks the most?"
Wu Donghai was stunned, thought for a while, and said: "Da Ning is flourishing, the monarch is wise, the ministers are diligent, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, I don't see anything lacking, but regarding your Majesty the Emperor of Heaven..."
Ning An glanced at Wu Donghai's hesitation, and immediately said, "Please speak up."
Wu Donghai said softly: "How can the king of this country have no heirs? I travel through the mist and travel all over the world, but I have never seen a king who is as lonely as you. To put it bluntly, the heirs are The most important thing for a country is that if there are no heirs, if something happens to the king of the country one day, wouldn't the country have no successors?"
Ning An's expression slowly froze, and finally nodded indifferently: "I see."
Wu Donghai chuckled: "Then I will resign first, and I have to go to the next one... Let's see each other in a month..."
After Wu Donghai left, Ning An shook his head to dispel distracting thoughts.
In the conversation with Wu Donghai just now, he analyzed many situations.
The most important of these is probably the foggy world around Daning, which may usher in a large-scale unlock.
Daning will also meet more countries!
The last time Yumenguan encountered the Golden Horde Khanate, this is one of the four major borders. What if the four major borders unlock the fog at the same time and encounter the invasion of four countries at once?
Ning An frowned, and immediately issued another order. The plan to increase the troops of the major legions is no longer 30, but 50!
The four major inland armies and the four border armies add up to 400 million.
According to normal calculations, ten people usually support one soldier. Daning has a total population of 3000 million, but it has to supply 400 million soldiers. In the past, it must have exceeded the budget.
But now that there is Shennong Valley, there is no need to dispatch a large number of people to grow herbs and food, and as the number of people who build the foundation increases, the daily consumption of food and grass will become less and less. The demand will be reduced to the minimum. At that time, food reserves are only prepared for the convenience of annexing other countries in the future, absorbing new populations and new civilians.
The Emperor of Heaven once again issued an order to increase troops, and the commanders of the major legions did not hesitate to start recruiting directly.
It's only been a month since the last recruiting, and now a large number of recruits have begun, and the atmosphere in the whole Daning has become serious.
No one is a fool. From the actions of the Emperor of Heaven, it is not difficult to see that a new war is coming.
When the major legions were recruiting soldiers, Ning An went directly to Tiangong Pavilion and handed over the spirit coin template to Lu Ban.
This thing is obviously much simpler than studying any blueprints. It is a complete template, and you only need to follow the above.
In front of Ning An, Lu Ban spent an hour making a pattern.
Ning An looked at it. It was a coin with a purple halo. It was crystal clear and had a somewhat transparent texture. It was cold in the palm of his hand.
Holding a bamboo tube in his hand, Lu Ban looked at the words on it and said, "To the Emperor of Heaven, casting spiritual coins requires the faith of the people, and you need to do this yourself."
Ning An nodded, according to the content on the bamboo tube, tightly holding the spirit coin in his hand.
Consciousness began to travel to the sky, and in the dark, there was more communication and exchange with Daning's national destiny.
A strange feeling rose in Ning An's mind. He seemed to see a cloud cluster like a dragon, which represented Daning's national destiny.
Ning An made a request to Yun Tuan.
The cloud group swayed slightly, and Ning An felt the spirit coin in his palm was hot, and there was a rolling warmth.
Then, Fa found that another breath in the spirit coin was constantly rising.
Discern carefully, these auras are exactly the power of belief of the entire Daning people in themselves.
The beliefs of each citizen are different, and every time a group of beliefs are fused together, a spirit coin can be produced.
These powers of faith that had been accumulated for a long time broke out directly at this moment.
Its number rose crazily, and soon broke through the [-] mark.
One hundred thousand does not sound like much, but it cannot be compared with ordinary Fan coins.
In the end, the number of Lingcoins stayed at 13 before slowing down the growth rate.
At the end, the speed of spiritual coins formed by the power of faith became slower and slower, and there were fewer and fewer. Ning An knew that it should have reached its peak.
With this ability, Ning An found that he could also observe the degree of belief that the entire Daning people had in him.
Among them, the first to follow him, that is, the original Dazhou territory, these aborigines have the highest level of belief, so they also contributed the most, and then began to gradually decrease towards the periphery.
From the seven countries that were annexed later, to the sixteen countries that were annexed recently, the farther you go, the farther you are from the capital, the less faith those people provide.
Ning An almost had a general idea in mind.
The power of faith is actually the same as loyalty. In the ruling list, the one who is most loyal to oneself will provide the most faith, and vice versa.
Therefore, in order to gain more faith, the loyalty of the people of Daning must be increased.
But now, with a huge population of 3000 million people, if you want to collectively increase their loyalty, the money and materials that need to be consumed are incalculable, and the current Daning cannot support it at all.
And there is another problem, that is, with the passage of time, there will be more and more successful foundation builders, and fewer and fewer ordinary people. beyond ordinary people.
Therefore, increasing loyalty must be accelerated.
"Tax cuts, I want to cut taxes!"
After Ning An figured it out, he gritted his teeth and said immediately.
Lu Ban on the one side looked confused, wondering why the Emperor of Heaven suddenly clamored for tax cuts, but it must be a good thing for the people to reduce taxes, he thought about it, and immediately said: "The Emperor of Heaven is merciful!"
After leaving Tiangong Pavilion, Ning An returned directly to the palace, and then issued an order to Guan Zhong, ordering him to implement the tax reduction policy.
This sudden order also made Guan Zhong confused. He is now serving in the cabinet. It is not a major national event. He can write on behalf of the emperor. He has to deal with a mountain of official affairs every day. Now that Ning An's order has come down, he can't sit still. He rushed to the palace and asked to meet the Emperor of Heaven.
In this country, it is a good thing for the king to be kind, but tax cuts cannot be done casually. This depends on the overall level of the country.
Guan Zhong felt that the country's taxation is already very reasonable. If it is reduced or exempted, the treasury will be too much to bear. Is it possible that the treasury will be empty every year when the financial report is made every year?
Without waiting for Guan Zhong to explain a lot of truths, Ning An informed him of the situation of Lingbi first.
Guan Zhong was taken aback, he naturally knew the importance, now is the world of immortal cultivators, the role of this spirit coin must be far greater than others.
So, instead of persuading Ning An, he nodded, "Please rest assured, the emperor, I will go down and make preparations, and immediately implement the tax reduction policy."
The policy of tax reduction is urgent. This is the fastest way to increase the loyalty of the people. Guan Zhong knew the importance. After leaving the palace, he non-stop called the officials of various ministries to start discussing countermeasures.
On Ning An's side, he continued to cultivate immortals. A qualified king must be good at discovering the abilities of his subjects. It is enough to leave all matters to his subordinates. As long as they are loyal, there is no need to worry about everything.
As for him, he continued to practice, and at the same time ordered the border soldiers to pay more attention to the situation of the fog, and if there was any sign of unlocking, he would report it immediately.
Five days later...
Name: Ning An
Cultivation: Nascent Soul Stage
Aura value: 28963/1000000
At the Nascent Soul stage, Ning An would feel that his cultivation was not growing fast enough every time he looked at the breakthrough requirements.
Although people have to practice in seclusion for at least 100 years to reach the Nascent Soul stage...
But I'm still too slow...
"Report to the Emperor of Heaven, General Yue asks to see you."
The eunuch outside the door screamed.
Ning An came back to his senses: "Let him in."
There was the sound of walking, and Yue Fei entered the hall with a list.
Kneeling in front of Ning An: "Yue Fei pays homage to the Emperor of Heaven."
Ning An waved his hand: "But there is a change at the border?"
Yue Fei got up slowly, shook his head and said, "I would like to report to the Emperor of Heaven, the border has been very quiet recently, and there has been no abnormal movement. Finally, I am here to collect statistics on the recruitment of each battalion, and hereby submit it to the Emperor of Heaven."
Hearing that there was no change in the border, Ning An nodded silently. He has two moods now. One is that he hopes that the border will be unlocked slowly so that Daning will have more time to develop, and the other is that he hopes that it will be unlocked faster so that Daning If you can continue to fight in all directions, you can replenish some treasury.
After the implementation of the tax reduction policy, although the loyalty of the people has increased a lot, the daily expenses of the treasury are still there. They are all spending now, and there is no extra money in the account. If this continues, the tax reduction policy will be suspended. Or wait for the fog on the border to unlock, and go directly to snatch neighboring countries.
For robbing neighboring countries, Ning'an has no burden in his heart. If you don't rob others, others will definitely come to rob you. If you want the people of Ning to be less persecuted by war and live in a comfortable environment, you must quickly unify the border countries.
Without opponents, the country will naturally be at peace.
Without thinking too much, I took the list from Yue Fei.
Ning An checked it carefully.
The list is detailed, concise, and free of superfluous nonsense.
Yue Fei of the Qinglong Camp, Bai Qi of the Baihu Camp, Wang Jian of the Zhuque Camp, and Li Mu of the Xuanwu Camp, the strength of each regiment: 50.A total of 200 million, all soldiers are above the foundation stage, and four of the main generals have reached the alchemy stage.
The four major armies guarding the border, Meng Tian's Mengjia Army guarded the Yumen Pass in the east, Wuqi's Wei Wuzu guarded the Shanhaiguan Pass in the south, Lianpo's Wuling cavalry guarded the Qinling Pass in the west, and Tian Dan's Fire Bull Armored Guards guarded the North Pass. At Yanmen Pass, the strength of each of them is also maintained at 50, for a total of 200 million.
The same is true for the general, who swallowed the special mutated spiritual fruit, and his aptitude and blood have been significantly improved, and he also swallowed a large number of ordinary spiritual fruits every day without side effects. Because they have all reached the alchemy stage.
These are all piled up with money...
However, Ning An felt that it was all worth the money.
The generals under his command are all going to fight the world for him, and there will be no rewards and gains if he doesn't pay. He doesn't feel bad about it at all.
Today's Daning has a strong national power and sufficient military strength. The only shortcoming is the lack of money.
He needs a lot of money to increase the loyalty of his people, and then he can better harvest their faith in exchange for spirit coins.
Ning An himself felt that he was an old capitalist. While practicing every day, harvesting the spirit value of the people below, and at the same time harvesting their power of faith, this leek was not counted after a cut, and it would be cut again, which is really familiar.
"I have seen the efforts of all the generals, and the progress of the training of soldiers recently must not be slackened. After all, no one knows who the next enemy we will face will be."
Ning An put the list back, and finally boosted morale again.
Yue Fei and the others all had firm faces, their eyes were full of fighting spirit, and they all clasped their fists together: "I will live up to the entrustment of the Emperor of Heaven, and I will never hesitate to die!"
Ning An nodded, waved his hand again, and the officials left.
In the following days, except for the occasional visit to Tiangong Pavilion, Ning An basically continued to practice in the palace.
In reality, I occasionally look at the current trending searches every few days to understand the situation outside.
After the humans and the monsters joined forces, the cracks have almost been cleaned up.
In reality, the number of people building foundations is also constantly increasing. Everyone is full of expectations and visions for the future. Many people even speak frequently, wanting to see a wider world. what does it look like.
Ning An could only smile and shake his head at such remarks.
Now, in reality, the key to open the door of the fairy world is in his hands. He has been holding this key firmly and has not let others get it. Otherwise, the key will be left outside, and some fool will open it one day. As far as it is concerned, it is a real disaster.
These people who threaten to go to the outside world every day are afraid that they will be beaten countless times by the society.
Cultivation continues.
In this way, another five days passed.
Finally, getting information today is different.
According to Ning An's request, a piece of information must be passed on to the border every day to inform them of the situation.
For a long time, the border has been safe and sound, without any changes, and the black fog has always maintained that concentration.
But today, the latest information has changed. It is no longer safe and sound, but an urgent information with a hand-drawn map.
The hand-drawn map is very simple, but it allows Ning An to understand the current situation on the border as quickly as possible.
This time, the black mist disappeared without any warning, and Daning was directly facing the surrounding countries.
On the map, there is an extra river to the north of Daning. According to the information, the river is very wide. The exact size has not yet been calculated. Anyway, it directly isolates Daning from the opposite country, forming a natural river. barrier.
And along the river to the other three sides, there are also branches. Although the land is still the mainstream, it seems to be faster to walk from the river.
To the west is a mountain range, the mountain is steep, and it is not clear what country is on the opposite side. There are many trails in the mountain, but it is very difficult to walk.
On the southeast side, there are land and plains, which are very vast. The countries leading to these two sides have a lot of information, more than before. The specific data cannot be counted for the time being, because the intelligence network cannot be extended to the opposite side.
Ning An continued to scroll down.
Among them, rivers and mountains are specifically mentioned.
According to Ning An's original thinking, the rivers and mountains are actually nothing. Now the minimum requirement for lieutenant officers and soldiers are foundation-building stage monks. If they want to go to the opposite country, they can directly control the sky.
However, it was mentioned in the intelligence that there is miasma and fierce beasts in this mountain. Many soldiers were sent to investigate on the border of Daning, but they never returned. This means that it is impossible to travel in the sky.
The same is true for the waterway in the north. This big river is not as calm as it looks on the surface. Involve the monks and grind them to pieces, leaving no bones left!
The mountains and waterways are full of dangers, and the only safe place is the land plain on the southeast side. This will be the area that Daning needs to focus on, and it will also be a high-risk area for wars.
At present, the Junji Pavilion has ordered that Li Mu lead the Xuanwu Battalion to support the Shanhai Pass in the south, and Wang Jian leads the Suzaku Battalion to assist the Yumen Pass in the east.
Yue Fei's Qinglong camp and Bai Qi's Baihu camp temporarily stayed inland to wait for dispatch.
In addition to these countries and terrain, the intelligence also highlighted that among these countries, there are many more resource-rich treasure lands.
For example, there are mines rich in ore, large forests rich in trees, and, moreover, there are the most critical spiritual stone mines and so on.
These resources are special resources, no matter whether it is ore or forest, they are not the same as in the mortal kingdom. They are rare in number and their value is immeasurable. If they are sent to the craftsmen of various countries, they will definitely exert miraculous effects. Grab the main target.
After reading the latest information, Ning An finally destroyed it on the spot. He took a deep breath.
Now that the border fog has finally been lifted, it is also expected that there will be many more countries, and the strength is still unknown.
Moreover, Daning is not the only one who is confused, these border countries are also very strange to these countries that appear on their borders.
However, even if they are unfamiliar, it is inevitable to go to war. Just like what Ning An thinks now, Daning will definitely send troops to these resource-rich spots.
Tiangong Pavilion now produces equipment that can be worn by monks every day. The ordinary resources have already been eliminated. Wearing it on the body of monks not only cannot provide any protection, but is also a burden.
The special material is different, it is the product of aura, which can provide vital help to monks.
Just like those magic tools, the basic materials they produce are inseparable from these special ores, as well as the spirit stone mine, the purity of the mined is also different, but even the worst, it also stimulates some magic tools An indispensable material for harmony formation.
This kind of important resource point is the primary goal for all countries to compete for. Today's Daning actually holds a very important resource point, which is Jiaolong Lake.
The dragon bred in Jiaolong Lake is the most important material for making keel bows, and the scales on the new armor that Lu Ban is currently developing are also taken from Jiaolong.
It is because of wearing these special equipment that the soldiers of Daning have greatly enhanced their combat power.
After shaking back and forth in the hall for a while, Ning An thought about it, took out Fang Tianji, went to the Military Aircraft Pavilion, and met Yue Fei and Bai Qi.
"The two generals should also know the current situation on the border. I decided to go to fight for the resource point by myself."
As Ning An said, Fang Tianji pointed to the sand table that Yue Fei and the others had just made.
There is a forest that produces special wood, which is closest to Shanhaiguan in the south of Daning.
Knowing the importance of resources, Ning An decided to give priority to capturing the nearest resource point.
Yue Fei and Bai Qi looked at each other, they didn't stand up to stop Ning An Yujia's personal conquest, they knew the ability of the Emperor of Heaven, his cultivation level was far above them, it seemed ridiculous to say something dangerous to dissuade them.
Moreover, they are generals, so they can keenly observe the importance of resource points, so they both nodded and clasped their fists at the same time: "The last general will obey the emperor's orders!"
