Chapter 727 The People
Walking in the gathering place of refugees, Yi Siman finally couldn't help but look at Chu Qiguang who was beside him, and asked, "What exactly do you want?"

Over the past month, Yi Siman has watched Chu Qiguang enter the grassland, subdue Tuoya and others, and then come to Shengjing City to spread blessings and longevity chapters, and teach a group of little demons martial arts.

Although he watched Chu Qiguang do so many things with his own eyes, he never understood why the other party did it.

As for Chu Qiguang's possible relationship with Dagan... He also had more and more doubts in his heart, because the other party hadn't contacted any senior officials of Dagan at all in the past month.

At this moment, seeing that Chu Qiguang seemed to care about the refugees outside the city made him even have a bad premonition.

Chu Qiguang smiled when he heard the words, and said: "Lead the people of the monster clan to get rich."

"My favorite thing to do is to lead everyone to become rich together."

Yi Siman naturally didn't believe Chu Qiguang's nonsense. In his eyes, the other party was a monster that was even more monster than a monster. When he was a big man, he would kill people everywhere, amass money, and use any means to achieve his goals.

Chu Qiguang didn't mind Yisiman's suspicion and guard, he looked at the gathering place of refugees in front of him, and asked, "Did the imperial court provide disaster relief?"

Gibb gave the teacher a strange look, shook his head and said: "Where does the imperial court care about this kind of thing? There is always not enough food on the grassland. I heard that I could live longer by going south to grab food, but that When I was too young, I couldn’t go there even if I wanted to.”

"After the peace talks with the big man, the food can no longer be robbed, but the business on the border can only be done by the old man, and the common people naturally have no way to survive."

Just when Chu Qiguang and the others were walking in the refugee gathering place, suddenly an old monkey monster with a ravine face came up and knelt down on the ground: "I beg the three masters to do me a favor and give me something to eat, my little one." can do anything..."

Chu Qiguang looked at him and asked, "Get up first, how dare I ask the old man's name?"

The old monkey monster said: "Master, just call me Badarila."

Chu Qiguang asked: "Looking at your body shape and muscles and bones, you also have the cultivation base of the second level of martial arts when you are young? Now that you are getting older, your energy and blood are exhausted, and your physical strength is declining. You are also quite organized when you speak. The family conditions should be good. yes."

The old monkey demon sighed: "This master cat is really far-sighted. My family used to be a herdsman. At most, there were hundreds of cattle and sheep in my hands. The conditions are quite good. My parents even invited a master to teach me martial arts."

Yisiman who was on the side also asked curiously after hearing the words: "If that's the case, why did you end up here?"

The old monkey demon sighed helplessly: "More than ten years ago, when the imperial court wanted to fight a war, they confiscated my family's cattle and sheep."

"Later, I heard that there was some money to be made by smuggling the Han people, so I took my sons to the south together. In the first few years, I was on both sides, and I could indeed earn some money."

"After the peace talks, the dry man traded, and I thought life would be better, but I didn't know that after all kinds of business taxes were collected, the income was not as much as before, and the arrest was stricter than before. Miscellaneous taxes for those checkpoints."

"As a result, a group of bandits robbed me last year. They robbed me of a batch of cotton cloth I had brought from the south, and my two sons died."

"After returning home, I still didn't pay for the goods, and the rest of the family property was taken away by the wolf master, and I also became a slave."

"Later, the village was hit by a snowstorm and looted by refugees. I couldn't survive, so I fled here..."

At this moment, there was a sudden noise in front of him.

Chu Qiguang and the others raised their eyes and saw a few wolf demon nobles standing on the carriage, throwing dough pancakes downward, and burst into laughter as they watched the monsters scrambling below.

Seeing this scene, the old monkey demon immediately ran up and joined the ranks of scrambling for the noodles.

Chu Qiguang turned to Yi Siman who was at the side and said: "Didn't you say that a big man is better than a big man? I think he is not as good as a big man."

Yi Siman remained silent with a sullen face. He hadn't returned to the grassland for several years, but he didn't expect that after the peace talks... there seemed to be more refugees fleeing famine on the grassland than in the past.

Yisi said coldly: "Did you come here today just to humiliate me?"

Chu Qiguang shook his head: "I just want to give more monsters... a chance to choose."

"You too."

"Yisiman, you are talented, I hope you don't waste your talent, after all, there is not much time left for you to choose."

Yi Siman was shocked when he heard the words, and looked at Chu Qiguang in surprise, not knowing what the other party meant.

After observing several refugee gathering places, villages, and pastures, Chu Qiguang returned to the yard that night and notified Toya and the others to include all the common people outside Shengjing City into the target of the Fushou Chapter.

Toya said reluctantly, "Teacher, why do you want to distribute the blessings and longevity medals to those low-level monster races? Most of them don't even know martial arts, and it's hard to control even if they increase their energy and blood."

Seeing how Tuoya and the other wolf monsters were not cooperating, Chu Qiguang once again understood how serious the division between the upper and lower levels of Daqian was.

Although Chu Qiguang is confident that he can force the other party to do it, his work enthusiasm is too low.

So he gave up the idea of ​​letting the wolf monsters like Toya spread the Fushou Chapter outside the city, but after sending them away, he called Ji Bu and a few other little monsters.

"Have you heard of the blessing and longevity badge that has been circulated in the city recently?"

"I can't bear the suffering of the people outside the city, and I want to boost their blood to resist the severe cold."

……

Just when the villages and refugees outside the city began to spread the blessings and longevity chapters gradually.

In the palace, the fourth prince's mood is getting worse and worse.

"Your Highness, the Dragon Mission has come to urge us again, asking where the Chilong King has gone."

"Your Highness, we have searched all over the city, but there is no trace of the Chilong King."

"Your Highness..."

The fourth prince sighed: "Okay, temporarily appease the missions, don't let them move without authorization, and look for the Chilong King...continue to do it."

Although it is said that it is going to continue, the fourth prince no longer has much expectation in his heart.

But fortunately everything is going well with the ritual preparations, as long as the ritual can be completely completed...

"As long as that person is revived and then controlled, the rise of Daqian will be unstoppable."

As the chief steward of Daqian, the fourth prince is very aware of how much resources the entire country has invested in completing the continuous rituals.

A sacrificial utensil made of a lot of gold, silver, copper and iron by Shenxiandao.

A large number of Han people plundered from the south and many monster races on the grasslands were supposed to be good slaves, but they were all used as sacrifices.

There are also various elixirs, herbs, and joss sticks specially imported from Dahan in order to increase the chances of success in the rituals of the Immortal Dao.

In addition, in the past few years, in order to make altars and blood pools, they have expropriated labor and captured slaves in various places on the grassland, consuming countless manpower and material resources.

There are also all kinds of blood food needed by immortals to maintain living corpses.

Such a huge investment not only further exacerbated the famine on the grassland, but also increased the financial burden of Daqian. Even the people in Shengjing City starved to death, and they, the royal family, often defaulted on the pills.

Every time he thinks of this place, the fourth prince envies the big man for his vast land, abundant resources, large population, and rich resources.

I am even more envious of Emperor Yong'an, even if he spends countless resources every year to promote his cultivation, the big man can last for 20 years.

The fourth prince deeply understood that this ceremony was an action that bet on the fate of the country for Daqian.
