I am a fairy in the world of mortals

Chapter 246: To Use Humanity to Overcome Heaven's Will

The vast land of ten thousand miles is all between clouds and rain.

It took Li Lang more than a month to walk from Yujing to the border.

From the border to Yujing, he accompanied Tianshan Yue, watched the sunrise and sunset twice in the room, and fought more than a dozen exciting battles.

When they arrived outside Yujing City, Li Lang pushed open the door and felt the sunlight outside was a little dazzling.

"Do you have any feelings on your way back?" Yu Ruyi, who had been teased by Li Lang for two days, took the initiative to ask him.

Li Lang: "The country is in danger of collapse."

Cheng Xu's plan of offering his head as sacrifice led to the annihilation of a million soldiers in the Western Regions.

But this only eliminated the foreign enemies and solved Daqian's worries, but the country's fortune was greatly damaged and its foundation was lost.

Disasters occurred frequently in all parts of Daqian, and there was no timely dispatch of manpower and material resources to provide relief and compensation. The number of refugees in many places became increasingly large. It only took a small spark to cause chaos in the world and rebellions would break out everywhere.

Of course, there have already been many local armed uprisings, but the time for them to actually break out has not yet arrived. Instead, the local tyrants are just testing the waters.

The team that has raised the banner of rebellion now is mostly just ordinary people who can't survive. There are no powerful people who have officially joined, and no large number of practitioners have entered.

With the strength of the Daqian court, it would be easy to suppress such a rebellion.

"Do you have any good ideas?" Yu Ruyi asked.

Strength means the right to speak. Li Lang, who has achieved deification through the Six Six Great Combinations, is no longer the man who barely entered the divine map and left Beijing in disgrace.

Yu Ruyi was born in this world and cannot escape the worldly customs. Because of Li Lang's strength, she chooses to believe in his wisdom.

Of course, this is not prejudice or narrow-minded thinking. After all, those who can cultivate to the realm of deification are all rare heroes, and even those who are not good at planning are by no means stupid.

"Yes! Man can conquer nature!"

"Please ask those practitioners with great supernatural powers to come out."

"If it rains a lot, we collect the rain. If there is a severe drought, we bring rain. If there is an earthquake, we adjust the ground's energy. If there is a locust plague, we eliminate the locusts. If it is freezing cold, we stimulate geothermal heat and use the advantages of the land to counter the weather." Li Lang responded.

Yu Ruyi said: "I have arranged for someone to do this, but it can only solve the urgent problem temporarily."

"When man's strength is exhausted, the heavens have infinite power, which is difficult to resist."

Li Lang stood at the bow, looking at the huge waves rolling up from the bow, and said proudly: "Then we will build canals, highways, sea transportation, and bridges. We will open up mountains and block rivers. When the sky collapses, we will kill giant beasts and use their bones to support the sky. When the ground collapses, we will kill earth dragons and fill the ground."

"If Heaven does not support you, you will not abandon me!"

"Dare to change the sun and the moon into a new sky!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Ruyi seemed to be intimidated by Li Lang's courage.

After a while, he replied: "After you enter the capital, come to the palace immediately and discuss this matter in detail."

Looking at Yujing City from afar, the white walls are still there, and the poems written in the past are still left on them. People always stop to watch.

Some people still talk about how carefree Li Lang was when he first entered the city.

At the city gate, someone recognized Li Lang and shouted from afar: "Monk Xuelang! You have long hair! Are you leaving the monastery? Are you not going to become a monk?"

Li Lang laughed: "I was originally a layman, why would I return to the secular world? I was originally in the secular world, why would I become a monk?"

"Do you have any new poems?"

Upon hearing this, Li Lang stopped in front of the city gate and wrote a line of poetry on the opposite wall where the poem was originally written: "The country is ruined but the mountains and rivers remain. The city is overgrown with grass and trees in spring. The flowers shed tears when they feel sad, and the birds startle my heart when I feel sad. The war has been going on for three months, and a letter from home is worth ten thousand gold. My white hair is getting shorter and shorter, and I can hardly hold a hairpin."

This poem is heavy, and in contrast to the free and easy and romantic "White Jade Capital in the Sky" on the other side, it is completely like the other extreme.

When everyone saw this, they fell silent.

Although the capital city is still prosperous, the merchants coming and going are well aware that Daqian is now in turmoil.

Li Lang's poem seems to be about the present, but it is more like about the future. Although the poem is good, no one praises it.

If Li Lang had written such a poem during the heyday of Daqian, there would have been people who would have ridiculed and mocked him.

But at this moment, many people simply covered their faces and entered the city without reading the poem anymore.

Just because: lies don’t hurt people, the truth is the sharpest knife.

Li Lang rode his horse into the city and headed straight towards the imperial palace, having an unobstructed journey.

When he entered the palace, he saw Yu Ruyi.

Compared with the jade ruyi I saw last time, it is mysterious and has a cold aura.

At this moment, Yu Ruyi was dressed in cumbersome clothes and looked tired. She no longer looked high and mighty, but revealed her mortal side.

Huangfu Qian was also beside her, covering her mouth and coughing softly.

"You came?"

"Sit anywhere!" Yu Ruyi said.

Perhaps because of Li Lang's constant teasing over the past two days, Yu Ruyi became more casual when talking to him and no longer put on airs.

"Can you elaborate on what you just said?" Yu Ruyi asked.

Li Lang said: "The universe is a big cycle. The so-called natural disasters are nothing more than taking away what is lacking and replenishing what is in excess. Since man must conquer nature, then we should forcibly take away the surplus and send it to the places in urgent need, so that the whole country can form a healthy and complete big cycle under human planning."

What Li Lang said is actually some north-south and east-west resource integration and exchange projects in modern society.

Although Daqian has no technology, it has spiritual practice. Anyone who is in the Minor Three Combinations already possesses extraordinary abilities. By integrating their abilities, the effect that can be achieved may not be worse than modern scientific methods.

"Ahem! This is a good idea, but cough! Have you ever thought about how much money it will cost and how much manpower and material resources will be needed to complete such a plan?" Huangfu Qian said while coughing.

Her injuries seemed to have never fully healed, and now she was working so hard every day that her body could no longer take it.

Li Lang nodded and said, "This requires a plan, taking it step by step, and prioritizing."

"Moreover, wasting manpower and material resources is not a terrible thing in itself. If work-for-relief is used well, it can effectively absorb the growing number of refugees."

"The problem is that the national treasury is empty now, and there is not much available silver and money. The treasures used to attract monks for cultivation are even more scarce." Huangfu Qian said with a grim expression.

"Then issue government bonds and bundle all the major forces into buying them." Li Lang responded.

"How could they buy it?" Huangfu Qian asked.

Li Lang: "It's very simple! Your Majesty promises great benefits, and I will find a few particularly brave ones, knock on their doors, and stop them from thinking of doing so."

"When a giant beast falls to the ground, it can crush a large number of ants to death. We need to let them see this kind of determination and courage."

"As long as we can mobilize enough forces through national debt, it will be much easier to implement our plan. Once we see some results, and let them see the benefits, the chaos among the powerful will be stopped."

Li Lang and Huangfu Qian asked and answered questions quickly, and it seemed that with just a few words, they solved the problem of the mountains and rivers being torn apart and the storms that were very likely to occur in the next hundred years.

"You are truly a talented person. I underestimated you before!" Yu Ruyi walked up to Li Lang and actually saluted with her arms crossed.

This is both an apology and a kind of surrender.

She knew about Li Lang's abilities and wanted Li Lang to do his best to help her repair the sky.

"Since you know you're owed, then compensate me." Li Lang said directly.

Huangfu Qian wanted to speak, but was stopped by Yu Ruyi: "What compensation do you want?"

Li Lang laughed: "I want you to be willing to invite me to stay on the dragon couch for the night!"
