Obtain the divine power at the beginning

Whoosh!
However, in an instant, dozens of poisonous arrows shot out.

Fortunately, Shi Tianyu did not come near.

Those poisonous arrows did not hit Shi Tianyu.

If the tree is moved, hidden weapons will be shot out, but Mi Tian did not remind Shi Tianyu about this.

It seems that Mi Tian wants to use these hidden weapons to kill Shi Tianyu. How vicious!

Of course, Shi Tianyu also has a very powerful body-protecting skill, and he is not afraid of any hidden weapons in the world. However, if he falls into a trap or is hit by those poisonous arrows, he will definitely be very unhappy. After all, he is the God of War!

How could I be plotted against by others?
At this moment, a short knife slipped out of Mi Tian's sleeve. He jumped up with the knife in his hand and stabbed Shi Tianyu in the back.

When he failed to assassinate Shi Tianyu with hidden weapons, he decided to do it himself. How cruel!

Unexpectedly, when Mi Tian was in the air, his bones suddenly made a creaking sound.

Bang! Mi Tian himself fell to the ground in mid-air, and suddenly his muscles and bones shrank. Suddenly, his left eye slanted to his left forehead, and his right eye slanted to his right cheek. One hand was long and the other was short. His left leg was bent and could not be straightened.

The sole of his right leg was turned sideways, and he could only use the edge of his foot to support himself on the ground.

In an instant, Mi Tian's entire body shortened by two-thirds, and he looked like a dwarf, lying on the ground like a puppy.

Just now, Mi Tian was hit by Shi Tianyu's two "Dwarf Magic Palms", so how could he not transform? Because Mi Tian had a bad reputation on the grassland, and he was so poisonous and domineering when he was on the shore of "Otter Lake". Therefore, Shi Tianyu had been on guard against him, and just now he gave him two "Dwarf Magic Palms" to let Mi Tian enjoy the fun of turning into a puppy.

At this time, Shi Tianyu turned around and walked over, looking at Mi Tian with a smile, and said: "You old thief, you are really cunning and vicious. But do you know who I am? Have you heard of the saying 'Shi Lang's clever plan brings peace to the world, and the yellow sand wears out golden armor after a hundred battles'? I have been through thousands of battles, so why should I be afraid of a lone wolf like you? Are you playing with me? If you dare to plot against me again, I will shorten you by two thirds and turn you into an ant. Humph!" Mi Tian's vision was blurred, and he saw Shi Tianyu as a double image. He opened his mouth but could not speak.

He lay on the ground and nodded, not quite understanding.

However, he was shaking all over and sweating coldly. He knew that Shi Tianyu would not kill him, but he was afraid that the outlaws on the grassland road would come to seek revenge. Now, his body was severely deformed and he could not even beat an ordinary person!
Oh! How miserable!

Hey! This guy's method of punishing people is really cruel.

More vicious than me!
Hey! How am I going to live the rest of my life?

Will other dogs bully me in the future?

Shi Tianyu leaned over and picked up the short knife again, exclaiming: "Isn't this the Kunwu sword?"

A passage from the Classic of Mountains and Seas immediately came to my mind: "Two hundred miles west of the Yi River, there is the Kunwu Mountain, one of the ten famous knife mountains. On the mountain, there is a lot of red copper, which is red in color. If you use it to make blades, it can cut jade like cutting mud.

Shi Tianyu was overjoyed, and he leaned over to take out the scabbard from Mi Tian's pocket, put the sword back into the sheath, and threw the precious sword into the study of the No. 2 locker in the system space.

Then he grabbed Mi Tian and threw him into the tunnel.

Now, who would care about Mi Tianzhi’s life or death?

Not killing him is already a very kind act.

Bang! Crack! Mi Tian, ​​who was still weak, fell down with a bloody head, a fractured shoulder, and two broken ribs. He tumbled down the steps of the tunnel, screaming. When he reached the last step, he fainted from the pain.

Shi Tianyu drew his sword and walked out, holding it to protect himself, walked into the tunnel, and went down step by step. He felt that this secret tunnel was well built, and Mi Tian was really ingenious, unique, and creative. Because this secret tunnel was first built on this small island in the middle of the lake. Secondly, there was a big tree planted above the entrance of the tunnel, which outsiders could not detect. Thirdly, the entrance of the tunnel was covered with poisonous arrows. Even if someone could detect that the big tree was different, if they tried to move the big tree, they would surely die.

Fourth, if ordinary people wanted to steal the treasure, they had to prepare some boats and row to this small island in the middle of the lake, which would definitely alarm Mi Tian and lead to him killing him.

Shi Tianyu entered the tunnel with a knife in hand, and walked into the cave, where he found piles of gold, silver and food. Because Mi Tian had always been a traitor on the grassland for decades, robbing countless gangs of their money and food.

There is nothing to spend big money on in this boundless prairie.

Maybe it's just to meet psychological needs.

Mi Tian had so much money and food that he simply couldn't spend or eat it all.

He is just a one-legged thief who keeps to himself and lives alone.

However, they were good at martial arts and were ruthless, and the amount of money and food they robbed far exceeded that of any other gang on the prairie.

Looking at the countless gold, silver, jewelry and grain, Shi Tianyu was overjoyed again. He didn't expect to get so much by stealing this time. Next, he returned to the Ming Dynasty court and went to various places to raise grain and funds, so that he could allocate some money to please the officials and gain the praise of the people. If you want to achieve great things, the most important thing is to have a good reputation.

With a good reputation, you can gather popularity and build up your network.

So, Shi Tianyu immediately moved the money and grain to the No. 2 locker in the system space and piled them together with the money and grain of treacherous officials such as Wei Zhongxian, Wei Guangwei, Cui Chengxiu, etc.

The money and grain here are meant to be spent, to improve people's livelihood, and to consolidate the Ming Dynasty.

The countless money and food in the system space garden and other storage cabinets are used to support the family.

In addition to the dozens of wives and maids and servants to support now, there may really be three hundred sons to support in the future.

The Shi family now has 150 dogs.

This expenditure is really huge.

Therefore, Shi Tianyu himself did not dare to spend money recklessly and was very frugal.

Afterwards, Shi Tianyu walked out of the tunnel with a knife in his hand, moved the big tree back, and no longer cared about Mi Tian's life or death.

Then, Shi Tianyu flew back to Liu Cong's horse team, and transferred 100,000 taels of silver, 100,000 dan of grain, and some good wine from the No. 2 locker in the system space. He ordered Liu Cong to lead people to count the money and grain, and ordered Jiang Xiao, Liu Laifu and others to load them onto the car.

He also told Liu Cong to give everyone wine for lunch today, so that everyone could have a good rest for an afternoon, and then return directly to Kyoto. In this way, Liu Cong's cavalry, together with the original silver and food, now has a total of 350,000 taels of silver and 660,000 shi of food. After returning to Kyoto, some of this money and food will be distributed to the Jinyiwei Office, some will be used to comfort the families of the casualties and reward the soldiers who participated in the war, and some will be sent to the palace, which will be enough. Then, Shi Tianyu walked to the shore of "Otter Lake".

At this time, Wei Xueyan, Kou Yanming, Murong Sheng, Luo Baozhong and others had led 3,900 Jinyiwei to kill all the evil bandits. The Jinyiwei began to carry the bodies and pile them together to prepare for burning.

Yu Li, Cen Zhan and others were counting the horses.

In this battle, more than 400 fine horses were seized.

Wei Xueyan sheathed her sword, walked up to Shi Tianyu, and angrily yelled, "Where the hell have you been? We are fighting the enemy desperately, and you are just wandering around. Do you really think this princess is your thug? Humph!"

Shi Tianyu smiled and said, "I will collect the money and food from these gangs for you! This time, we not only won a great victory in the battle, but also brought money, food and horses back to Kyoto, which will make the princess proud! How happy will His Majesty be when he hears your report! This is your achievement. Because you are a princess, you have a title, but I don't.

Everyone would say that this battle was won because of Princess Changxiang's good supervision. Then, word spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, until it became known that Princess Changxiang led her troops to fight in the border area, winning eight battles in a row, showing her unparalleled wisdom and martial arts.

Let's go and count the money. Let Yu Li take people to buy some sheep. We will roast a whole sheep for lunch today. After we are full and have a good sleep, we will go back to Kyoto. This time, I also confiscated some good wine from the headquarters of Jackal Hill and Black Tiger Village and the tunnel of Mi Laozei.

In addition, if there is a battle this afternoon, I will fight alone, and you can eat meat and drink wine at noon, and you can get drunk. Everyone, relax and have a good time. "

"Good! Oh! Great!"

Suddenly, the 3,900 Jinyiwei cheered, jumped on their horses, and led the confiscated horses back to their base.

Wei Xueyan felt comfortable hearing Shi Tianyu say this.

Girls must be very concerned about their reputation.

Wei Xueyan's pretty face relaxed, and she asked Shi Tianyu again: "How much money and grain have been confiscated? Not only do we have to give 100,000 taels of silver and 100,000 dan of grain to the Jinyiwei Office, but we also have to reward the soldiers who participated in the war, and we also have to provide relief to the families of the soldiers who were killed or wounded.

If there is any surplus, we have to send some money and food to the palace. Don't you want me to speak well of you in front of His Majesty and Empress Zhang?
The palace is also short of money and food! I will also persuade His Majesty for you to let him accept your help in activating his Qi and prolonging his life."

He has no selfish motives at all, takes the overall situation into consideration, and cares about Shi Tianyu.

Shi Tianyu laughed and said, "How much money and food can these robbers get in this sparsely populated grassland? In total, I have seized 200,000 taels of silver and about 200,000 dan of grain from the headquarters of these three gangs.

However, with the money and grain collected from Guangning Prefecture, it is enough for the purposes you mentioned! There may be a little surplus. The remaining money will be used as travel expenses for me to leave Kyoto and go to other places to raise funds and grain. "

Wei Xueyan nodded and said, "Not bad! The prairie is sparsely populated, and it's really great that we can achieve such a good result. Okay, it's settled."

At this time, "Dudu" and "Minmin" came riding on horses.

"Minmin" jumped off the horse, put the reins around the horse's neck, and then jumped onto the BMW "Zhuifeng", riding together with "Dudu".

Shi Tianyu pointed at "Dudu" and "Minmin" and said with a smile: "They are riding together, should we ride together too?"

Wei Xueyan gave Shi Tianyu a cold look, jumped on her horse, and rode away.

Shi Tianyu laughed and waved at "Dudu".

"Dudu" then rode his horse back to the base at full speed.

However, Shi Tianyu took a leisurely walk back to the base, admiring the picturesque scenery on the prairie.

Lunch isn't that fast anyway.

Yu Li and Cen Zhan had to lead their troops to find the herdsmen, buy some sheep, slaughter them, barbecue them, etc.

It will take at least two hours to finish all these tedious tasks.

However, when he returned to the base, Shi Tianyu found that many herdsmen were slaughtering and roasting whole sheep.

Yu Li ran over and bowed to report: "General Shi, those herdsmen saw that we had wiped out several major gangs, so they sent us some sheep as a reward, thanking us for helping them to eliminate the bandits and freeing them from suffering from the banditry from now on, and they also helped us roast the whole sheep."

Shi Tianyu nodded and said, "Good people will always be rewarded. Let's do this. You go find Liu Cong and give each of these herdsmen two ingots of silver and two hu of rice, and let these herdsmen shout our slogans.

Later, when we come back to fight the Jin soldiers, those herdsmen will come back to help us. Yu Li, follow me, you must have a long-term strategic vision, think long-term, and don't just focus on the small benefits in front of you. Go."

“Yes!” Yu Li bowed and responded, then turned and ran away.

At this time, Wei Xueyan had already bathed and changed her clothes into the colorful skirt of a grassland girl. She came over skipping and spinning around, and asked with a smile, "Does it look good? This skirt was given to me by Princess Tarji of the Lindan tribe."

Shi Tianyu praised: "You look beautiful! You are beautiful! So, you look good in any dress." After praising, he smiled and said: "A man dies for his confidant, and a woman dresses up for the man she pleases. Not bad! You are really beautiful!" Wei Xueyan blushed and scolded: "Can you speak human language? You are always slick and frivolous. You are really a piece of shit."

Shi Tianyu laughed, turned around, walked into his tent, lay down and fell asleep.

However, at this moment, Shi Tianyu heard a loud cheer: "Shi Lang's clever plan brought peace to the world, and he wore golden armor after a hundred battles in the yellow sand."

It is estimated that those herdsmen had already received money and food from Liu Cong, so they followed Yu Li, Cen Zhan and other Jinyiwei and shouted.

Two hours later, Shi Tianyu woke up, joined the soldiers for lunch, and celebrated with the herdsmen.

The soldiers also drank and partied with the herdsmen.

The Jinyiwei were all military men, most of them liked to drink, and the atmosphere was quite lively.

Shi Tianyu took the opportunity of toasting the soldiers to leave Wei Xueyan's sight, took the opportunity to float away and came to the main peak of Tianshan Mountains.

On the mountainside, Shi Tianyu requested system support to help contain 200,000 barrels of black spring water.

Shi Tianyu was observing his surroundings and looking up at the sky.

After a while, he walked into the system space again and came to the warship in the green lake. He took a knife to cut the skin of the nine-tailed fox, took ten bowls of blood, drank ten bowls of blood, and then floated Shangguan Xiaoxi to the warship.

The two rolled into bed in the cabin's bedroom, intoxicated and happy.

The bedroom door and windows were not closed.

Anyway, no one will peek.

Outside, the waves are rippling, fish are leaping and birds are flying.

Shangguan Xiaoxi felt a different kind of exhilaration and infinite happiness, and was strangely intoxicated.

The nine-tailed fox "Yamai Taro" almost fainted due to excessive blood loss after Shi Tianyu took away ten bowls of blood.

"Yamai Taro" hated Shi Tianyu very much, but he couldn't break free from the rope. He finally recovered some of his strength, but Shi Tianyu took away ten bowls of blood. This "Yamai Taro" was really painful, and swore that if he could escape one day, he would definitely contact all the ghosts and demons in the fairy world to take revenge on Shi Tianyu and cut him into pieces.

Two hours later, Shi Tianyu and Shangguan Xiaoxi jumped into the green lake to swim and bathe, scaring the fairy chicken in the green lake away. Shangguan Xiaoxi was very happy and smiled, and really hoped to be with Shi Tianyu all the time.

Afterwards, Shi Tianyu drifted Shangguan Xiaoxi back to locker number 10, changed clothes and put on makeup, then flew out of the system space again.

At this time, the system had already filled 200,000 barrels of black spring water for Shi Tianyu, and transferred the black spring water to the second courtyard of the second locker. Shi Tianyu then flew up the mountain and walked towards the glaciers.

There are more than 500 glaciers here, and the ice and snow cover stretches for thousands of miles above 4,000 meters above sea level.

With his golden eyes, Shi Tianyu could clearly see extremely precious wild animals such as snow leopards, wild camels, wild donkeys, snow chickens, and argali. So, Shi Tianyu tentatively moved the glaciers to the mountains in the system space. If possible, he could send these glaciers to Feiyu Island in the future, thus solving the problem of fresh water drinking on Feiyu Island.

After all, the population on Flying Fish Island is growing.

There are more than 100,000 newly married people.

Next year, there will be more than 100,000 newborns, and the year after, there may be more than 100,000 newborns. In a few years, the population of Feiyu Island can quickly grow to 2 million, 3 million, 4 million, or even tens of millions.

After the population and spouse issues have been resolved, we will need to solve the food, fresh water, business, and ship issues. After the island becomes lively and prosperous, we will also need to solve the island safety and public security issues.

Problems always come one after another.

At this time, Shi Tianyu was standing on a big glacier. After thinking for a while, he faced a small glacier, shook his body, and with a flick of his palms, he moved the small glacier to the mountains in the system space.

Sure enough, the drift was successful!

There were also rare animals such as snow leopards, wild camels, wild donkeys, snow chickens and argali on the glacier, which drifted into the system space with the small glacier. The system space also expanded rapidly and naturally, and a space was moved out between the countless mountains and hills in the system space, allowing the entire small glacier to fall.

Shi Tianyu was overjoyed, and then he drifted dozens of large and small glaciers into the system space.

In this way, the mountains and green lakes in the system space became more beautiful, and finally there were four scenes of spring, summer, autumn and winter.

There are also countless snow leopards, wild camels and other rare animals that live in the ice and snow.

The glaciers are extremely cold, and the tigers, wild wolves, giant pythons, etc. in the mountains will not run to these glaciers.

Shi Tianyu then drifted some snow chickens from the glacier to the warship in the green lake to feed the nine-tailed fox some good food, and also threw a few snow chickens into the green lake to feed the fairy chicken.

Shi Tianyu could see that the fairy chicken had grown a lot of meat at this time.

Soon, we can slaughter the fairy chicken and eat it.

But, I hope that next time I can eat that magical chicken with Wei Xueyan, roll into bed together to indulge in the heat and increase my skills.

After a beautiful fantasy, Shi Tianyu flew away with satisfaction.

When they returned to the grassland, they found that the soldiers were lying down and sleeping on the grass.

Wei Xueyan, He Xiangu, Ju Ping, Murong Sheng and Liu Cong's cavalry soldiers did not drink, nor did they dare to drink, because the money and food were with Liu Cong. Murong Sheng was always self-disciplined and always guarded Liu Cong.

Liu Cong heard Shi Tianyu say that he would have a chance to be a governor in the future, so he was particularly serious in his official duties recently. He was talented, but he lacked background and was timid. Now that he had experienced the test of war and had a strong background like Shi Tianyu, he became bolder. He ordered the cavalry not to drink alcohol, and ordered the scholars who accompanied him to count every penny and every grain of food, and record every battle and casualties. Otherwise, they would be punished by military law and executed.

Therefore, one of the carriages in Liu Cong's horse team was filled with account books, clearly recording every income and every expenditure.

Wei Xueyan was sleeping in the tent, while Juping, He Xiangu, and "Dudu" and "Minmin" were patrolling the temporary military camp and its surroundings.

In the evening, the sun slowly set.

The sunlight gradually turned red, and there were some golden clouds around it.

Afterwards, the sun moved slowly, the dark clouds came over little by little, the sun slowly passed through the clouds, the light became darker and darker, but then there was a brilliant glow.

The sunset dyed the sky and the earth red.

The water of "Otter Lake" is rippling, like a beautiful girl swaying in a red dress, so beautiful.

The sun slowly sank, and its light changed from golden to deep red and finally to gray.

The sky and the earth were hazy.

Wei Xueyan woke up, washed up, walked out of the tent, and saw Shi Tianyu. She thought Shi Tianyu had just woken up as well, so she smiled and said, "You woke up too? The sunset on the grassland is so beautiful!"

Shi Tianyu put his arm around Wei Xueyan and whispered in her ear, "Because you are with me, this trip to the grassland is more beautiful. I really don't want to return to Kyoto, because you may not be able to accompany me on the next trip."

The beautiful scenery is picturesque, the kind words are pleasant to the ears, and make people feel comfortable.

Wei Xueyan did not push Shi Tianyu away, nor did she get angry.

Their relationship grows stronger amidst the test of blood and fire.

So, Wei Xueyan said, "I will accompany you to raise grain and money. Because I want to monitor you. I feel that the money you raise is not right. Why do I feel that you are not raising as much grain and money as when you were a small county magistrate in Guxiang? Haha! Should we set off to return to Kyoto now? Next, your first stop to raise grain and money is Luoyang? Are you going to fight with Prince Fu? Your Majesty has always had a knot in his heart, and this knot is Prince Fu. As long as Prince Fu is not dead, Your Majesty will never be able to sleep or eat well."

Shi Tianyu gently separated Wei Xueyan, held her hand, walked a few steps, and then let go of her hand, saying, "Wait a moment, let the soldiers sleep until they wake up naturally. If I am not mistaken, the commander who suppressed the rebellion must have been killed by others.

Ye Xianggao is the chief minister of the cabinet, and the candidate he recommended to His Majesty must be his favorite student, Yang Ting, the commander of the Northwest Command. So, let's go slowly, I want to stay with you for a while.

In addition, my first stop for raising grain and funds was Jiangnan, so that Prince Fu would think that I was afraid of him and thus paralyze him first.

Next, I will go to Yihua Palace to find Princess Zhu Yingya and ask her to find Prince Fu and ask him to donate money to ease the relationship with him. Later, I will find an opportunity to fight him. He is very powerful, and for the time being, I am not his opponent. "

Upon hearing this, Wei Xueyan raised her finger and praised: "Shi Lang's clever plan brought peace to the world, and he wore golden armor after a hundred battles in the yellow sand. Shi Tianyu, you are really mature now, very thoughtful and smart. In the future, your military thoughts can be written into a book. I also want to go to Yihua Palace, can you take me with you?"

Her beautiful phoenix eyes blinked, full of anticipation for the next trip to Yihua Palace.

A few years ago, Wei Xueyan was the first to find Yihua Palace and told Shi Tianyu the news. However, Wei Xueyan and the high-level warriors around her had no way to get to Yihua Palace because it was located in a 700-li desert.

Shi Tianyu shook his head and said, "You can't go, because you are too beautiful and unmarried, so you will be kept by the elders of Yihua Palace to be trained as the next palace master. My sister Yue'er was lost in this way.

Yue'er may be the next Palace Master of Yihua Palace, but this will make Yue'er suffer for the rest of her life.

How could she live without a man? It was really hard for her.

However, I couldn't go in and rob people, otherwise, if we started fighting, the Yihua Palace would collapse. As a thousand-year-old gang, the Yihua Palace has a unique palace, and it was built on a 700-mile desert, so we have to maintain it, not destroy it.

The best way is for you to go to Luoyang and wait for me, and wait for Princess Zhu Yingya to arrive. Then, we will go with Princess Zhu Yingya to meet Prince Fu. If possible, let Princess Zhu Yingya take you to Yihua Palace, put on some makeup, and act ugly, so that you won’t be left behind to be trained as the next Palace Master. "

Wei Xueyan nodded and said with emotion: "Since you have matured, then I will listen to you. Six years have passed, and you have changed a lot. Six years ago, you were stupid and dirty. When I saw you before, I felt that you were disgusting and wanted to vomit. Now, I look up to you mentally. Okay, I will listen to you."

Shi Tianyu laughed and said, "Let the soldiers get up and go back to Kyoto while eating lamb legs. Kyoto is my dream and our home. Oh, no, wait a minute, I will ask Jiang Xiao to lead the team to find some herdsmen and hire some herdsmen who can roast whole lamb to open a restaurant in Kyoto and sell roasted whole lamb."

Wei Xueyan asked in shock: "What? What what?"

Shi Tianyu smiled and said, "We can't just rely on coercion to raise food and money. Simply asking wealthy merchants from all over the country to donate money and food is not a long-term solution. We must have our own industry and our own blood-making function. At noon today, the herdsmen on the grassland roasted a whole lamb, how delicious! So, I thought of a way. Let's go back to Kyoto and open roasted whole lamb restaurants all over the city. Then issue an order that no one can eat and drink in our roasted whole lamb restaurants. Diners must pay, otherwise they will be beheaded as a warning to the public.

In this way, with the Jinyiwei Office protecting our roasted whole lamb restaurant, the business will surely be prosperous, and it will definitely not be a problem to earn hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every year. Not to mention relying on this little money to support our 200,000 Jinyiwei, at least it can solve the livelihood problems of our Jinyiwei families, right? In this way, the court will also have taxes. Let our troops' family life improve, and they will not do anything wrong again. The people's hearts are like water, water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it.

I'm going to say something you may not like to hear. The Jinyiwei have always relied on the imperial power and have always been arrogant and domineering, and have a very bad reputation among the people. So, when I was the prefect of Fucheng, I killed the Jinyiwei of the Jinyiwei Qianhu Suo you set up in Sichuan.

But I have the imperial sword! If I didn’t have the imperial sword, how could I dare to provoke them? And other officials who didn’t have the imperial sword didn’t even dare to fart when they were bullied by the Jinyiwei. "

"Haha!" Wei Xueyan smiled sweetly, turned around and left, instructing Ju Ping and He Xiangu to pass on the message to wake up Kou Yanming, Luo Baozhong and others. As for Shi Tianyu's killing of Jinyiwei from the Jinyiwei Office stationed in Sichuan, Wei Xueyan naturally knew about it.

But, in his heart, he wished Shi Tianyu would do so.

Ever since she hated Lu Yuan, Wei Xueyan wanted to close that position, but she had no excuse and no opportunity.

Shi Tianyu swung his knife and killed those Jinyiwei, which also gave Wei Xueyan an excuse to withdraw from that point.

Shi Tianyu then went to find Jiang Xiao, Liu Laifu, and Liu Cong to discuss the matter of opening a roasted whole lamb shop after returning to Kyoto to solve the living problems of everyone's family. Everyone's family can run errands in the lamb shop and earn a little money every month to help supplement the family expenses.

After all, when raising food and funds along the way, there will occasionally be fights with robbers, and there will inevitably be some casualties.

While we are alive, we must think of ways to plan our family income so that our family can live a good life without worries.

Everyone thought it made sense, so they followed Jiang Xiao to buy more than 3,000 sheep from herders, and hired dozens of herders to open a restaurant in Kyoto. In order to train Liu Cong well and prevent him from being lazy, Shi Tianyu asked Liu Cong to act as his agent after returning to Kyoto.

If Liu Cong has any questions about business that he doesn't understand, he can ask Zhou Shaozhou, the head manager of Yujing Chain Bank.

Liu Cong readily agreed, as this way he could both make some money and get some benefits.

Why not do such a good thing?
The crescent moon rises and the stars are shining.

The soldiers got up, washed, and then each grabbed a piece of mutton or mutton leg, rode on their horses, eating as they ran, and returned to Kyoto.

The crowd traveled day and night without stopping.

The crescent moon disappeared into the clouds, and the stars twinkled and loomed. The next morning, everyone returned to Kyoto.

Shi Tianyu only left 50,000 taels of silver and 50,000 dan of grain for Liu Cong to take charge of opening a mutton shop.

The rest of the money and grain were all given to Wei Xueyan to provide relief to the families of the wounded and injured, and to distribute reward money to the soldiers who participated in the war and send it to the palace in order to please Zhu Youxiao and Empress Zhang.

Shi Tianyu returned to Mingjing Inn and "sent a message thousands of miles away" to ask Helan Minyue whether he had found the headquarters of the Qilu Iron Gang and the money and food?

Helan Minyue replied with a smile, saying that not only had she found the headquarters of the Qilu Iron Gang, but she was also monitoring the gang's headquarters personnel. She just didn't dare to disturb her husband fighting outside the Great Wall, so she didn't call her husband to come and attack the Qilu Iron Gang.

He also told Shi Tianyu that the Qilu Iron Gang was on the Thousand Buddha Mountain in Jicheng Prefecture.

So Shi Tianyu quietly flew away, as it was more important to raise food and funds.

Taking this opportunity to pay tribute to Empress Zhang, Wei Xueyan came to the Qianqing Palace and reported to Zhu Youxiao and Empress Zhang about the situation and achievements of the battle outside the border. In the report on the details of the battle outside the border, she mentioned many times the details of "Shi Tianyu using his internal energy to heal the wounded soldiers and to transfer Qi to prolong their lives". Zhu Youxiao and Empress Zhang would look at each other every time they heard this.

Because Zhu Youxiao often coughed up blood and became seriously ill from time to time, he could die at any time.

Crown Prince Zhu Junkai and Prince of Xin Zhu Youjian were both listening to Wei Xueyan's introduction to the battle outside the border. They both stared at Wei Xueyan intently, feeling that Wei Xueyan was so beautiful and charming.

Zhu Youxiao then said tactfully: "My dear Wei, wait for my dear Shi to rest for two days, and then ask him to come into the palace to help me with my internal energy and qi. I often have back pains. I need my dear Shi's support. I have heard that my dear Shi is a master of martial arts, and I hope that his skills can cure my lumbar pain." In his heart, he naturally wanted Shi Tianyu to help him with his internal energy and qi to prolong his life.

How great it is to be an emperor!

Moreover, Zhu Youxiao had an easy time being emperor.

However, because the Ming Dynasty had been in power for more than 200 years, people's ideas were deeply rooted, so no one would oppose the Zhu family's rule. The court officials had to obey Zhu Youxiao. Although there were occasional rebellions, so far, no waves had been set off.

Empress Zhang thought: If the emperor's illness can be cured by Shi Aiqing, will I be able to get pregnant in the future? If so, that would be great. I really want to have a child of my own! Without a child of my own, I will regret it for the rest of my life.

Wei Xueyan nodded with a smile, then said goodbye and left.

The goal has been achieved.

I hope Zhu Youxiao can live to be a hundred years old, so that the Shi and Wei families can be guaranteed a hundred years of prosperity and wealth.

As for a hundred years later, Wei Xueyan couldn’t do anything about it, and she might not live to be a hundred years old.

After leaving the Qianqing Palace, Wei Xueyan came to the Jiuqiansui Mansion to pay her respects to her father Wei Zhongxian and report to him the details of the battle outside the border, making Wei Zhongxian laugh from time to time.

In the Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Youxiao said to Empress Zhang with emotion: "Empress, you have a unique vision. Let Shi Aiqing go to the border to fight and once again show the power of our Ming Dynasty. Good! Good! The most important thing is that Shi Aiqing can also bring back some money and food.

When others led troops to war, they all asked me for money and food.

But, Lord Shi is different! Whether it was the two previous times when he was powerful in Liaoxi, or when he was the county magistrate in Guxiang, or the prefect in Fucheng, or when he was fighting in the frontier now, he never asked me for money or food, and he even sent some money and food to me and the court. Good! Good!" Zhu Junkai's eyes lit up when he praised Shi Tianyu so much.

Now, Zhu Junkai also misses that "uncle" very much.

Because he was very young, after taking the "magic pill", his strength increased greatly, and he was able to defeat some eunuchs and fight with some young guards. Therefore, Zhu Junkai also liked Shi Tianyu very much.

But what he didn't know was that Shi Tianyu was his real father.

He feels so close to Shi Tianyu because of their blood relationship.

Empress Zhang waved to Zhu Junkai and Zhu Youjian.

Several eunuchs and palace maids then led Zhu Junkai and Zhu Youjian out.

Empress Zhang whispered to Zhu Youxiao, "Your Majesty, Shi Aiqing is so outstanding, he should be given a more important position! You see, should Shi Aiqing be the commander of the troops to quell the rebellion in Sichuan?"

Zhu Youxiao laughed and said, "Shi Aiqing is too young to convince the public!"

Empress Zhang said disapprovingly: "Didn't you become emperor when you were only in your teens?"

Zhu Youxiao was startled, then smiled and said, "This is different. I became the emperor because this world belongs to the Ming Dynasty and the Zhu family. However, if Shi Aiqing becomes a minister at the age of 21, what will happen to other meritorious officials? Wouldn't it be a waste of money and grain for the court to set up so many ministers? Moreover, Shi Aiqing now holds the title of Shangshu of the six ministries. Although Shi Aiqing has no right to make the final decision on the affairs of the six ministries, he can still intervene in the affairs of the six ministries. This power is great enough. Most importantly, Shi Aiqing can go to various prefectures, counties and cities to open offices and handle official affairs. He has great autonomy and freedom of action. I can say that I am very kind to Shi Aiqing."

Empress Zhang was still not satisfied and said, "However, you want Shi Aiqing to help you keep alive. And Shi Aiqing has fought twice in the frontier, both times he has promoted the power of the Ming Dynasty. No matter what, he should be commended and rewarded, right? It would be good to give him a nominal title! The rebellion in Sichuan and the post-war reconstruction all require Shi Aiqing's efforts. How about that? Let's make Shi Aiqing concurrently the governor of Sichuan!"

Zhu Youxiao seemed to be thinking about something. He stood up and paced back and forth for a while, then said, "How about this? Let's follow the Queen's suggestion and appoint Shi Aiqing as the governor of Sichuan, Yunnan and Shaanxi provinces. Yunnan and Shaanxi were poor, while Sichuan was originally rich, but after this war, it has also become poor. There are countless refugees and the refugees are rebellious. Shi Aiqing needs to spend a lot of money to appease them, and he also needs to rule with an iron fist. I will also appoint Shi Aiqing as the Prince's Guardian, which is a first-rank official title. How old is Shi Aiqing? Twenty-one! That's fine, not bad."

"Haha!" Queen Zhang suddenly smiled sweetly.

Qianfo Mountain is a branch of Mount Tai, with an altitude of 285 meters.

After the preliminary investigation by Tiandihui disciples such as Ma Deming, Wang Jingqiao disguised herself as a dancer and went deep into the courtyards of Jinan City to investigate. In particular, Wang Jingqiao disguised herself as a dancer and went deep into Fengqin Courtyard. With the help of Zhou Shaozhou, the chief treasurer of Yujing Chain Bank, she found the location of the headquarters of Qilu Iron Gang in these places.

With Wang Jing's beauty, she can naturally charm all men in the world.

All kinds of information come naturally.

At this time, Wang Jing, Lu Ying, Hua Qianduo and other super-high-level martial arts ladies were guarding at the foot of Thousand Buddha Cliff, lurking near the headquarters of the Qilu Iron Gang.

On the Thousand Buddha Cliff, there are nine caves with more than 130 Buddha statues carved from the 7th to the 15th year of Kaihuang in the Sui Dynasty.

Among them, in the middle of the main cave of the statue group, there is Amitabha Buddha sitting cross-legged in meditation, three meters tall, with Buddha light behind him.

On the right stands Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva, and on the left stands Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, both nearly three meters tall.

The other caves are scattered on the stone walls outside the cave.

Jinji Ridge, Fohui Mountain, Pingding Mountain to the south of Qianfo Mountain and Yanzi Mountain to the east naturally form a huge turtle.

The Ao formed by the mountain here looks like a dragon head, a turtle body, and a unicorn tail. Its head faces east, its tail faces west, its back is connected to Qianfo Mountain, and its feet are located at the southern foot of Fohui Mountain. Its crown reaches the sky, as if it is about to take off.

The headquarters and home of Liao Tong, the leader of the Qilu Iron Gang, are located in a small castle at the foot of the Thousand Buddha Cliff.

This is a very regular small castle that can accommodate more than 7,000 people.

The city wall is 160 meters long and 7 meters thick. It is built in a slightly tilted east-west, south-north direction.

There are corner towers at the four corners of the castle, buildings in the middle of all four sides, and only one city gate on the south side.

The other three sides are defensive facilities.

Like a corner tower, it protrudes from the wall, using the space on three sides to form an attack angle for the invading enemy.

Outside the castle, there is a moat eight meters wide and three meters deep.

Therefore, the Liao Tong family has remained here for hundreds of years and has accumulated countless money, grain, various weapons and chariots.

Even though there was turmoil at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and there were invading troops, they were killed in the castle by Liao Tong's ancestors.

The Salt and Iron Gangs have existed openly for hundreds of years.

The government always turns a blind eye to this. It is not difficult to eradicate it. The key is interests.

As there were benefits, no official was willing to completely wipe out the Salt and Iron Gangs.

And once a major war breaks out, the imperial court will also need the Iron Gang to help forge various weapons.

Therefore, the Salt and Iron Gangs have existed for hundreds of years, but they have caused great harm to the common people.

Especially the control of salt.

Therefore, Shi Tianyu did not allow it to exist, but also wanted to use it to raise money and grain to consolidate the foundation of the Ming court for a hundred years.

As in the past, Helan Minyue, the leader of the Tiandihui, still bravely took the lead. He led Zhang Hui, Situ Yan, and Guo Lingyu to jump over the wall at midnight last night and slipped into the back garden of the Liao Mansion like a flying bird.

At that time, Helan Minyue and other beauties had just stepped onto the ground when they suddenly heard the sound of clothes rustling in the wind behind them.

Helan Minyue's heart trembled: This man's martial arts skills are not weak!

Then he poked him with his backhand.

"Boom!"

The man fell to the ground without a sound.

Zhang Hui cooperated closely, stretched out her foot and lifted the man up, preventing him from falling to the ground and making any noise. (End of this chapter)
