Paper Maker: This is the end of the Ming Dynasty in Liaozhai

Chapter 207 Mr. Hai, the Millennium Demon Pill!

Hearing Han Yu's words, Zhu Youjian sighed. Although he didn't want Su Hao to profit from it, Henan can't afford it anymore. The land transport of food in the past two years has required a lot of corvees from Henan. , As a result, almost the people in Henan are in dire straits.

The killing of officials and rebellions that occurred just because of corvée appeared several times, but because grain transportation is extremely important to the imperial court, the imperial court took a stricter view of Henan and stationed many soldiers and horses in Kaifeng and other places, so it did not appear. disaster.

But it’s not a problem to forcefully suppress it all the time. Now the corvee in Henan has reached its limit. If it continues, there will be chaos sooner or later. By then, Beizhili will really become an isolated island.

After a moment of silence, Zhu Youjian gritted his teeth and said, "Let's take water transportation."

Although this will allow Su Hao to obtain a large amount of food and raise more soldiers, it is better than the chaos in Henan.

Han Yu clasped his hands and said, "I obey the order."

After a pause, Han Yu continued: "Your Majesty, there have been severe droughts in Shaanxi and Datong in the past few years, resulting in rebellions. Now that the rebellion in Guizhou has been confirmed, we should provide disaster relief and reduce taxes as soon as possible to calm the hearts of the people and quell the chaos."

Daming has been increasing taxes these years. In the past ten years, Liao's salary has not been cut off, and An Bangyan's rebellion has also raised a lot of taxes from Yun, Gui, Sichuan, Shaanxi and other places. Two years ago because of Su Hao's change Taxes are collected from Jiangnan, Huguang, Fujian, Guangdong and other places.

It can be said that the taxes and taxes in various places in Ming Dynasty are extremely heavy now, almost to the point where the people are struggling to live. As long as there is a little bit of natural disaster and man-made disaster, it will be the result of sparking a prairie fire.

"Then let's reduce or exempt Shaanxi and Datong prefectures first."

Hearing this, Zhu Youjian fell into deep thought, before speaking after a while.

.........

Time flies, time flies, in the blink of an eye, the New Year has passed, winter is coming to spring, and everything is recovering. At this time, a piece of news stirred up the entire cultivation world in Shandong.

The millennium sea snake demon entrenched in the East China Sea's secret place, the Historic Site Island, Mr. Hai failed to overcome the robbery, and was attacked and beheaded by a martial artist from Dengzhou Prefecture. The thousand-year-old demon pill fell into the hands of this warrior.

Jinan Fucheng.

Daqi Palace, Zichen Palace.

"You two want me to mobilize troops to find that Dengzhou warrior for you?"

Looking at Dong Shichang and Xie Bing, Su Hao narrowed his eyes slightly. Dong Shichang is the leader of the Meishan Dharma Line, while Xie Bing is the leader of the Yinshan School. Although both Dong Shichang and Xie Bing have sent many disciples to join him, But Dong Shichang did not join him, and the real pillars of Meishan Dharma and Yinshan School did not join him either.

"Returning to Your Majesty, if a treasure appears within His Majesty's territory, the treasure must be chosen, and it should belong to His Majesty. The two of us just don't want to see His Majesty's treasure being stolen by thieves."

Xie Bing bowed and said, although they also coveted the Millennium Demon Pill, the two of them knew very well that this kind of treasure was not something they could covet. As far as they knew, the strong man who was attracted by the Millennium Demon Pill was not At least, even Buddhists and Taoists have powerful people who came to Shandong.

With the strength of the two factions, even if they get it, they can't keep it. More importantly, the only one in the entire Central Plains who can refine the thousand-year-old demon pill into a pill is the Taoist school.

Therefore, after discussing with Dong Shichang for a long time, he decided to come to Su Hao. Now that Su Hao has the appearance of success, although they have already bet on Daqi, they have not made any great achievements for Su Hao. They want to rely on Conglong It is not so easy to carry forward the orthodoxy through the merits of Taoism.

Nowadays, the orthodoxy in the world is Buddhism and Taoism. Even if the White Lotus Sect wants to develop secretly, it has to be in the name of Buddhism and Taoism. Strength is simply impossible.

And given the effects of their two factions on Su Hao, it is impossible for Su Hao to fight against Buddhism and Taoism for them. At most, he would give them some rewards. So after discussing with Dong Shichang, he decided to snatch the millennium gem for Su Hao. Yao Dan.

Su Hao is also a cultivator, so he must have valued his own cultivation. To snatch this millennium demon pill for Su Hao is not only a show of loyalty, but also an increase in the position in Su Hao's heart. In the future, they want to carry forward the orthodoxy, To some extent, I can get support from Su Hao.

Of course, the main reason is that they couldn't find that Dengzhou warrior themselves, and they had to rely on the power of Daqi to find that Dengzhou warrior before others.

"Is that so?"

Hearing Xie Bing's words, Su Hao narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the two with a half-smile, but thought about it in his heart.

The thousand-year-old demon's demon pill is also an extremely rare treasure in the Central Plains. If it is refined into a pill, it can not only greatly improve the cultivation level, but also have the miraculous effect of life and death. As long as there is one breath left, it can be saved. It is even said that it has the ability to prolong life magical effect.

However, the thousand-year-old monsters are all in the deep mountains and old forests, and basically do not set foot in the human world. The deep mountains and old forests are also the territory of the monster clan, and in order to protect themselves, some powerful monster clans will gather together and dare to break into those places to hunt The powerhouse of the thousand-year-old demon is very rare.

Now that a thousand-year-old demon pill appeared in the world, it would definitely be able to attract all the hidden powerhouses in the entire Central Plains, and even Da Ming and the Jurchen might send people to fight for it.

If he can obtain this thousand-year-old demon pill, then after refining it, his strength will definitely usher in a wave of surge again. It is definitely not a problem to reach the innate martial arts within a year or two. The city of Jinan was trapped.

"Since the two of you have such an idea, I am very pleased."

After thinking for a while, Su Hao said: "I will ask Black Ice Terrace and Zhenma Division to assist in the thorough investigation, and at the same time, I will send another martial arts master and six first-class masters to take action."

Although Dong Shichang and Xie Bing's strength is not weak, they are not strong either. At most, they can be regarded as top first-class masters. It is not an easy task to win the Millennium Demon Pill among many masters.

It's fine if Da Qi doesn't participate, since everyone has decided to participate, then naturally he has to show the corresponding strength, otherwise others will look down on Da Qi.

"The ministers will live up to His Majesty's expectations."

Hearing Su Hao's words, Dong Shichang and Xie Bing only felt that the pressure was huge. They were also quite aware of Da Qi's strength. The lineup Su Hao sent out was worthless. The position in my heart is all over.

...

After Dong Shichang and Xie Bing retreated, Su Hao asked someone to invite Fang Haichuan. Now in the whole Daqi, apart from him, there is only Fang Haichuan, a master of martial arts.

"Master Hai is dead?"

Hearing Su Hao's words, Fang Haichuan was also taken aback. Before that, he also worked as a royal guard in Jinan Mansion for several years, so he naturally knew this Mr. Hai.

The old lair of this Mr. Hai is located deep in the seabed of the historic island. He usually does not go ashore. He only occasionally gets some treasures from the bottom of the sea, and he will let his subordinates take them ashore to trade with the human race. Therefore, he is also one of the few people who has contacts with the human race. The monster race is strong.

"This time I invited Brother Fang to come over, mainly because I want Brother Fang to go over and hold the line."

Su Hao said with a smile: "If you can take this thousand-year-old demon pill, after refining it, Brother Fang will definitely have a share."

Hearing Su Hao's words, Fang Haichuan's heart was also moved. He used to be the commander of the high-ranking Jin Yiwei, so he naturally knew the value of a thousand-year-old demon pill. Now the demon clan has long since fallen. There are only a handful of demons. For more than [-] years in the Ming Dynasty, there are only five thousand-year-old demon pills known to exist in the world, and they are all demon pills of tree demons.

After all, the thousand-year-old monster is already comparable to the innate powerhouse in the human race. Except for the tree demon who cannot escape, it is not an easy task to kill any thousand-year-old monster.

After contemplating for a long time: Fang Haichuan nodded and said, "Brother Su, don't worry, I will do my best."

Now that he has comprehended the meaning of palm, he is only short of internal strength from the innate realm. A thousand-year-old demon pill can be refined into at least four or five pills. Even if he can only get one, it can save him five or six years of hard work. .

Hearing this, Su Hao nodded with a smile and said, "Then I'll trouble Brother Fang."

...

Jiyang County.

In a private house, a young man dressed plainly looked at the box in his hand, his face full of confusion.

His name was Zhang Yi, and he was originally the young master of a bodyguard agency in Dengzhou Prefecture. His parents died of illness early on, and the bodyguard agency fell into disrepair. He is alone.

Because he had nothing to worry about, he fell in love with exploring strange places and hunting around. Because he heard people say that the ancient site island has beautiful scenery and there is a market opened by the demon clan, so he invited a boatman to take him to the ancient site island.

Who knew that he would meet Mr. Hai to cross the robbery, and by chance, he got Mr. Hai's thousand-year demon pill. Although he was lucky to return to Shandong from the ancient site island, the news that he got Mr. Hai's thousand-year demon pill has spread all over the world. The entire Shandong, and now the practitioners in the entire Shandong are following his trail, trying to snatch the demon pill from him.

"Ugh!"

After looking at it for a long time, Zhang Yi sighed deeply, and then put the wooden box back into the package. After traveling abroad for these years, he knew the preciousness of this demon pill in his hand. Second-rate warriors can be kept.

But the windfall came from the sky, let him give it up, and he is reluctant, as the saying goes, people make money and birds die for food, who is really willing to let go of such a large amount of wealth.

But fortunately, he has been wandering around these years, has never lived in a fixed place, has houses in various places, and with some disguise and modification skills, it is not easy for others to find him, just need to avoid the limelight , he can think of a way to sell this demon pill, in exchange for a huge fortune, and live happily ever after.

Just thinking of this, Zhang Yi also had a headache. This demon pill was good, but it was too good. According to what he had heard and heard before, this kind of thousand-year-old demon pill was hard to find even if it was ten thousand gold.
