The Pope of Douluo, please let me save nine hundred times

Chapter 182

Another half year...

The mainland is still peaceful as usual, except that there are a lot of job changes, nothing major.Wuhundian, Empire, who do you work for?As long as you are willing to give money, your life is yours.In principle, how much is a catty?

The only thing that is strange is that the price of metals continues to rise. Among them, the price of rare metals is more expensive than the equally important gold, which is simply outrageous.There is also the blacksmith, when did the humblest profession become so popular?The average income has actually tripled, and you are still being vying for it?
It's a strange thing that happens every year, especially this year.

Heaven Dou Empire——

The Minister of Finance couldn't help but click his tongue when he saw that there was a hill of gold soul coins in the treasury!Since Spirit Hall deliberately raised the price of metals, in just half a year, the profits of the Heaven Dou Empire have already rivaled taxes.After all, the empire controls the most land in the mainland, and the resources in the northern veins are more abundant.It's just that the degree of attention is not high, and mining is more difficult than in the south, so the metal capital falls on Gengxin City in the south.

But with the value of the metal, it is natural to pay attention to the mining of this vein...

When the Minister of Finance handed over the report to Emperor Xue Ye, and then signaled him to give it to Xue Qinghe, Prince Xue Xing and other ministers below, they couldn't help but stare blankly.

"His Majesty……"

After a while, Xue Xing called out cautiously, he is a younger brother, so he will show some affection no matter what.

"I wanted to restrict the purchase of metals from Wuhundian. I didn't want to suffer a loss after Wuhundian deliberately raised the price. I even secretly took a batch of metals to make a fortune! But I forgot that there are mountains of metals in the national treasury. Wealth is the blood of our own people!!"

Today's Emperor Xue Ye looks older, and looks quite energetic, but his face is as black as ink.

"I know that the empire restricts the purchase and excavation of ores so that the Wuhun Palace can take advantage of it, but I think you should also take the opportunity to make a lot of money, which is more than the national treasury!?"

"I'll be damned!!"

The minister below quickly knelt down.

Ning Fengzhi frowned, and thought: "It seems that the big battle is not far away!"

Master Yu Xiaogang looked at the report in his hand and fell into deep thought for a long time.

It wasn't right, and it made him very uneasy.With Emperor Xue Ye's control over the empire, even the Wuhundian couldn't have taken away the wealth of the empire under his nose.But the empire has already investigated the caravans coming and going, unless it was set up seven or eight years ago.Just how is this possible?Who set up such a big game?

"When I set my sights on metal and blacksmiths, Wuhundian took the opportunity to purchase countless grains, land, medicinal materials and war supplies, and you, my dear ministers! Someone should have responded to me a month ago, But in order to earn more gold soul coins, I turned a blind eye to these things. It is my old fool who can see it for himself, he is really my good servant!!"

Emperor Xue Ye glanced at everyone present, his extremely cold gaze seemed to be able to pierce the bone.

"Tell me, whose caravan is it? Whose handwriting is it? People in the Wuhun Temple have high vision, and even if they want to secretly form or buy them, there will not be many. I have checked the mainland soul master competition two years ago. , [-]% of them belonged to free caravans, but they don’t know who to sell their supplies to? It’s as if they disappeared out of thin air.” Xue Ye growled at the enemy like an enraged army.

"This……"

Everyone is in trouble, those are small caravans, they are inconspicuous, and there are not many buyers.

Fortunately, although these losses are huge, they are still within the tolerance of the empire. Otherwise, instead of calling them to a meeting late at night, they would be thrown into prison directly.

"Your Majesty, all the businessmen caught by this official have confessed. They are all ordinary people. If you insist on the faction, they belong to the caravan of Wuhun Palace." A middle-aged man in his forties walked in outside the palace, Wearing silver armor, the blood all over made the minister inside frown slightly.

"Otto, is the news accurate?"

Emperor Xue Ye was still Emperor Xue Ye, he immediately took action regarding the changes in the empire, and found a group of suspects in just midnight.It just surprised him, when did the interrogation department of the empire become so powerful?How long?

The middle-aged general Otto said: "They didn't resist at all, and they spoke out everything very cooperatively."

"It's from the Spirit Hall?"

Emperor Xue Ye was puzzled, if it was Wuhundian, he should resist it anyway.

Otto smiled wryly: "They are all free agents, they were favored by the Holy Son of the Wuhun Temple when they went back and forth between the Empire and the territory of the Wuhun Palace. Some of them were funded by the Holy Son to help build them, and the strange thing is that he didn't Joining any caravan does not require them to be affiliated to the Wuhundian, so they do not belong to anyone."

"What about their supplies?"

"Wuhundian took precious metals and their Pope, and then I don't know how to transfer them."

quiet……

Originally thought that His Majesty sent the caravan that belonged to or cooperated with Wuhundian in [-] to be too cautious, wasting so much manpower and material resources.But I didn't expect that the Holy Son actually started the layout ten years ago!
Do not manipulate or manage these chambers of commerce, let them develop, at most give some small favors and leave connections.No wonder it took so long to find out that he was nobody at all, so how to check?
Emperor Xue Ye took a deep breath, and smiled angrily: "The contacts that I started to build ten years ago, what a holy son of the Wuhun Temple! Even I am curious about how much he has done these years? The businessman seeks profit, Now metal is more expensive than soul coins, but with the cooperation of Wuhundian, these people are not afraid that I will cut off their heads? Or are they really willing to work for that kid who has disappeared!!?"

Having been an emperor for decades, he certainly knows that soul coins are just a unit of currency, and in the final analysis, they are also a kind of metal.You say it's worth it?And indeed there are.However, compared to the land, food is just a pile of cold, shiny metal, and its essence is no different from those metals.

You can't eat it when you are hungry, and you can't use it as a quilt when you are cold.It is not as good as a piece of pig iron for forging a weapon.

He still forgot, how many people are there in Wuhundian?How many people are there in the empire?The metal Wuhundian needs is probably already enough, but it just creates the illusion that it needs more, trying to arm everyone to the teeth.Raising the price, taking the opportunity to exchange excess metals for huge amounts of wealth and materials, and then transferring them... The chain is intertwined, and the experienced ones don't seem to be the work of Wuhundian.Their focus is on the soul master.

Is there also your handwriting here?He is restless when he leaves, what a difficult person to deal with!
Square fish white...

The subsequent economic decline of the empire is an irreversible fact. The price must be lowered, and then these bastard ministers who have fallen into the eyes of money will spit out their profits with interest.

"Your Majesty, please listen to me. The merchants are looking for profit, and it is the Wuhundian who came to them, and it is the Wuhundian who actually took away these materials. It has little to do with them. These merchants are very clear, you must know To whom do they owe the kindness, Wuhundian came to them to buy things, can they not give it? Besides, there are too many people involved in this matter. "

"That's right, killing these people is exactly falling into the trap of Wuhundian."

Grandmaster and Ning Fengzhi stepped forward to dissuade them, even Xue Ye had to think about their weight.

Ao Tuo said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Yu and Sect Master Ning are right. The subordinates found out that the Holy Son was interrogating and left them a life-saving talisman: If His Majesty really killed these businessmen, the news will be announced the next day." It will be spread, and it will inevitably arouse the resentment of merchants. The empire will find it difficult to replenish supplies in future wars."

"Okay! What a holy son of Wuhundian! He even helped these people figure out the way to retreat! He is more considerate than my courtiers, no, than my son and wife!!!"

Sometimes they really refuse to accept it, no wonder they dare to take risks, they are a little moved by the huge benefits and the retreat they have prepared in advance.

This kind of big-picture view and subtle means of nourishing things... unexpectedly came from a child in his early ten years old.

"Otto, you lead your knights, dispatch soldiers from the border cities, and seal the border for me." Emperor Xue Ye roared angrily, "I want you to find them! Defeat them! Not a single one will be left behind! Every grain of rice will be brought to me." stay home!!"

"Yes!"

Otto responded immediately.

"You guys, go back to me tonight. Go find me, and find out those who have been treated in Yanyu Pavilion and have received favors!!"

tao tao…

Ning Fengzhi left the palace side by side with Grandmaster, they were silent all the way.

"It's a terrible overall situation. It seems meaningless, but it is deployed among these merchants that we ignore. I don't think Your Majesty can imagine how much has been left in the past six years. Wuhundian really has an incomparably outstanding I am envious of your heir." Ning Fengzhi sighed and cleared his mind.

"After this night, Emperor Xue Ye will definitely have doubts about the ministers and generals, even you and me."

The master is also worried, but he knows that there are several children in the academy who have a good relationship with the Holy Son, especially Zhu Zhuqing, and he can't hide it at all.An emperor's suspicion is often fatal.

"When the Holy Son appeared for the first time, people in the mainland couldn't sleep. Now that he has left, he still disturbs the tranquility of the night. Tonight, everyone in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will not be able to sleep!"

"No way, who makes tonight not peaceful?"

Wuhun Temple.

"Your Majesty, this is our income for half a year!"

Bibi Dong asked: "What is this?"

Ju Douluo swallowed and said: "You'd better see for yourself!"

What the hell is this?Soul coins, land deeds, medicinal materials... the total value exceeds 7000 million gold soul coins.

"This is?"

Yue Guan smiled wryly: "The delivery from Putuo City was prepared by His Highness long ago. He invited a big businessman and took the opportunity to earn a fortune from the two empires."

Even Bibi Dong couldn't help being surprised, she took a deep breath: "Are you sure?"

"Your Majesty, your subordinates have already confirmed it. According to what Luo Shigang said, they transported more than 2000 million gold soul coins to the northern border. The first is to disrupt the empire's eyeliner, and the second is to establish several soul master academies. Your Majesty, there is no doubt , this time we added the income from Putuo City. In the next ten years, our Spirit Hall will not have to worry about wealth."

Bibi Dong let out a breath slowly: "I have Xiaobai, so why not worry about things failing!"

"From now on, you can handle these trivial matters. I should prepare to retreat."

"Yes……"

Time passed quietly in sleep.

hum~~
Just as the yellow-yellow sun was about to poke its head, a humming sound flashed through my mind while I was asleep or waking up.

There was no specific voice, it just appeared in the mind, as if Heaven and Earth were telling them some kind of mysterious information.

"!!"

After the buzzing sound, all the beings on the mainland opened their eyes one after another, and immediately discovered a shocking scene.

In the sky, dark clouds are densely covered, and on the Sea God Mountain, there is a tendency of rain and wind to fill the building.Even though it was shrouded by the rising sun a moment ago, it became dark again, as if time had gone back and returned to the darkest moment.

The sea began to boil violently.The waves surged, and layers of strange ripples spread along the sea water.

At this time, the layer of Seagod's Light covering the surface of the mountain became extraordinarily bright, like a lighthouse on the dark sea, illuminating...

"Bo Saixi, something serious happened!"

There are various patterns carved on the huge stone pillars in front of the Sea God Hall, Gu Yuan was not in the mood to visit, so he took Yubai and went through the layers of Sea God's Light and came here.

"Gu Yuan, do you want to fight me?"

"You think I want to come to this shitty place!? You are also a Titled Douluo, so you can't feel that Heaven and Earth are warning us?"

Walking into the Sea God Temple, there is not a single window in the entire hall, so naturally the light from the outside cannot be seen, and besides it is dark now, it is reasonable to say that this place should be dark.But the entire hall exudes a faint golden light, illuminating the hall.

In this hall, there are no redundant buildings, only eight platforms.The seven platforms outside form a circle, and each platform has a different style, which is similar to the seven platforms where the Sea God's Seven Sacred Pillars are located.It's like a reduced platform of the Seven Sacred Pillars.It's just that there is no sacred pillar here, only the seven platforms.

In the center of the seven platforms, there is another huge platform that can be seen from between the two outer platforms in front. This platform has three floors and is several meters higher than the seven outer platforms.The entire platform is circular, and the area of ​​the platform becomes smaller the closer it is to the top.In the center of the top platform, there is a long stick standing upright.But it is not very regular, the top is larger, conical, and the whole body is pitch black.

Bo Saixi was sitting in the center of the front of the first floor of the platform.

"Xiaobai, do you feel it?" Bo Saixi's faint voice sounded, echoing in the empty hall.

"The world turned pale, Xuanyin wailed, someone has become a god! The methods used are not recognized by the world."

Yubai said very solemnly, his martial spirit is gone, but the spirit bone in his right hand is still there, and he still has the ability to peek into a corner of the world.

Bo Saixi smiled kindly and said: "That's right, there is someone who has become a god at level 99. Lord Sea God has given me instructions, and it is in another continent. This god-bearer has not yet fully become a god, and now he is just a false god. Although the strength is still strong, but with Sea God Island, and me and Gu Yuan, two level [-] Title Douluo, I am not afraid of this god for the time being."

"Senior, please allow me to leave Sea God Island after the third test."

"Have you decided?"

"Yes……"

After this day,
[The first god appeared, what kind of god is better?
And the thunder that was buried before is finally going to be taken out. Kindness at the beginning does not mean stupidity. Some people have indeed made a profit, and it doesn't matter if ordinary people don't pay it back.But after knowing his identity, there are some things that you can't just let go.I have invested in you and helped you, so it is convenient to ask you to help me.Make up?That's fine, you can figure it out yourself, right?

These Douluo II's Treasure Appreciation Clubs have said that they invest in geniuses, while the protagonist invests in insignificant people.Maybe it's because of his background, but the protagonist from a poor background pays attention to what the nobles don't...]
