stand back, let me come

Chapter 1489: Hundred Billion Merits (Part 1489) [Seeking monthly votes]

“Know the right people and assign them to the right positions, so that they can make the best use of their talents.”

These eight words are compulsory courses for a qualified lord.

Shen Tang dares to say that he is second, and no one in the world can claim to be first: "If it were someone else, there would be no use for Ji Shou's card."

Who said the God of Plague is bad?
Kang·God of Plague·King of Hell·Shi is so authoritative!
"...Ji Shou is the bait. Once released, we can catch big fish without making special nests." Shen Tang leisurely carried a special umbrella made of fine iron and cowhide on his shoulder, choosing to remain unchanged in the face of ever-changing circumstances. Even his almond-shaped eyes showed pride.

She was indeed feeling quite proud of herself at the moment.

I am sure that Kangshi will gain something from this trip.

Because she has her own logic.

Every time Kang Shi chased the enemy, he was always beaten up by the enemy. What does this mean? It means that other people may lose the enemy, but when Kang Shi goes out, he will definitely encounter a large enemy force, and it must be elite! If it is not elite, it will not bring pressure to Kang Shi!

It sounds dangerous and unfortunate, but if you look at it from another angle, doesn't this mean that Kang Shi can 100% find the enemy's main force?
The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind.

Use Kang Shi as bait to catch big fish. Kang Shi leads the way in front, and Shen Tang arranges people to follow quietly. It is impossible to catch a big fish with the empty air force.

After hearing this, Gu Chi felt like he was having a heart attack on Kang Shi’s behalf.

At the same time, there is also some gloating.

The master had been suppressed by Kang Shi for more than ten years, and finally learned to fight back and take advantage of him. Not only did he take advantage of him, he also learned to predict Kang Shi's predictions, and elegantly took out a special large umbrella, and just needed to get a lounge chair to bask in the sun. He was so leisurely that even Wei Lou couldn't stand it.

"Get out of the way! What do you look like?"

How can you look like a leader of a country?

Wei Lou inexplicably felt a little irritable recently.

"I am who I am, a firework of different colors! Who dictates what I should look like? Since there are no rules, how can I not look good?" Shen Tang hugged the umbrella handle tightly, fearing that without the umbrella's protection, she would be soaked in shit. "You are capable and should do more work."

Instead of criticizing her here, it is better to [be half-hearted] and work more. The Central Allied Camp has a lot of baggage that has not been moved away in time. These baggage allow Shen Tang to relive the fun of opening blind boxes. Even though Shen Tang is the ruler of a country, he can't help but envy the Central Aristocratic Family's wealth and power. The packages and boxes looted from the camp are filled with good things, including but not limited to priceless rare books.

There is even a single copy of a military book containing spiritual formations.

The other gold and silver items could not be cleaned up in a short time.

There were no generals and quartermasters in Shen Tang's camp, but the Central Allied Forces did. The Allied Forces retreated without taking them away, leaving behind piles of accounts that made Shen Tang drool. This is what it means to be rich! The tip of the iceberg that was accidentally revealed allowed Shen Tang to see the heritage that was comparable to the Gongxi clan's. You have to know that the wealth given to her by the high priest helped Shen Tang get out of poverty in an instant.

If she plundered the Central Region families as well...

I can’t imagine how happy she can be.

Not only can she pay off Xun Zhen's credit card in one go, but she also doesn't have to worry about Xun Zhen squandering money next time. The Kangguo Treasury and her private treasury can even have a surplus. When Shen Tang thought about turning a loss into a profit, he felt his heart beating like a deer in his chest. It was exciting!
Tsk, she had to find an excuse to kill all these people.

They robbed all their property.

Not a single layer of ground was left.

Wei Lou almost laughed at her words: "The former Lord didn't order me around like this, but you're using me for your own good."

He didn't have Alzheimer's, so he could see that Shen Tang had used him to do some unscrupulous things several times, and she had taken all the benefits, while he had to bear the reputation of being struck by lightning. Wei Lou didn't care much, but he couldn't stand Shen Tang's self-righteous attitude.

Shen Tang said: "Knowing people and assigning them to the right positions will enable them to make the best use of their talents."

How can this kind of thing be called being ordered around and exploited?
Wei Lou was so angry at her shamelessness that he wanted to walk away in anger, but a flying stone came from somewhere and smashed through the umbrella. Shen Tang just raised her head when the stool under her butt broke by coincidence. The aftermath of the earth dragon's overturning collapsed the tunnel in the camp and buried her alive.

Several things happened almost simultaneously.

Wei Lou and Gu Chi didn't have time to change their expressions.

"Quick, dig out the master!"

The second wave of aftershocks buried the hole that had just been opened. If Shen Tang had not been so strong and strong, two waves would have sent her to hell. She stretched her hand out of the ground with difficulty, spat several times in embarrassment, and gasped in cold air as she felt the pain in her ribs.

"My Lord, please ask him to -"

He was in good health, but his leg was broken while he was walking.

While lying there, my ribs broke again.

The broken ribs happened to pierce a very important meridian, which directly caused the flow of Wen Qi to be blocked. Qi Shan couldn't even use the Word Spirit Barrier to protect himself. What does this mean? It means that Shen Tang also suffered the elbow of fate! This is also the reason why Shen Tang couldn't get out of the collapsed ruins in the first time. Both martial and literary Qi have to go through this meridian_(:з」∠)_
She pulled herself out a third time and was buried again.

Shen Tang: "...Murder, Kang Jishou!"

All the elite soldiers in the Central Allied Forces barely touched her clothes, but Kang Shi alone drained half of her health, leaving her with a lot of debts. Sometimes, Shen Tang suspected that Kang Shi was a spy sent by the enemy. She was alive until now, all thanks to her strong physique.

After being dug out with great difficulty, Shen Tang looked so miserable, as if he had fought with someone for 800 rounds, and his blood could be used to make mud.

Wei Lou was forced to swallow what he wanted to say.

"…Forget it, just consider it as my pity for you."

Shen Tang's arms were wrapped like dumplings and hung around his neck, his fingers were swollen two or three times: "...Then I thank you?"

Wei Lou: "..."

Tsk, that sounds sarcastic.

Regardless of whether it was sarcastic or not, Shen Tang just wanted to know how much luck Kang Shi had given her this time? Throughout her turbulent life, with many battles, half of the few times she was seriously injured and died were caused by Kang Shi. She was really lucky to not die.

Shen Tang just sighed when his fingers started to itch inexplicably again.

She looked down expressionlessly, looking at the injured and swollen fingers and trying to calculate. She felt pain when she moved them once, and pain when she moved them twice. When the doctor Xinglin turned his head and saw this scene, he almost cried out: "No, Master, your fingers are still broken--"

No matter how skilled the Xinglin doctors are, it is impossible for broken bones to heal in a few minutes. Moreover, the master's meridians are damaged and he cannot activate his own civil and military energy to nourish himself, so the repair time will be longer. Shen Tang's smile is uglier than crying: "You may not believe it, I-"

Her voice stopped abruptly.

Doctor Xinglin heard a few subtle sounds of bones cracking.

Gu Chi also heard his master's heartbreaking cry.

The former was because of the calculation, and the latter was because Shen Tang calculated the bill. No matter whether Xun Zhen was a spendthrift or Kang Shi was a tyrant, Shen Tang, as the debtor, did not know the specific amount and let the creditor deduct it. When there was a surplus in the private treasury, it meant that she had paid off Xun Zhen's bill. When Shen Tang's luck returned to normal, it meant that Kang Shi's Huabei was also over. There was no specific number.

This time, she "saw" the bill. Not only did she "see" every expense, she also saw the repayment amount for each Huabei installment and... the interest that was considered usurious. Shen Tang blinked in disbelief, and immediately pinched with her other hand.

The calculation result is exactly the same as before.

Well, two hands to add insult to injury.

"...No, the pain of the body is not even one ten-thousandth of the pain of the soul!" Shen Tang ignored her injured leg and forced herself to stand up. Her raging anger suppressed her perception of pain, and she raised her fingers, wrapped like dumplings, to the sky, "Fuck you——"

The anger rushed to the top of his head.

These are the words Jimo Qiu heard when he arrived.

He looked at the furious prince, then at the sunny day that had inexplicably dispersed the dark clouds and revealed the bright sunshine, and was silent for a few breaths - despite the prince's scolding, the Lord of Heaven was not only not angry, but there were even signs of auspicious signs being sent down... This was really a bit abnormal.

Shen Tang also noticed this and was stunned for a moment.

Then came even greater anger. "...No, what does that bastard mean? What the hell does he mean? He actually dared to let the sky clear up?" Not only did it clear up, it was a rare sunny day, and the humid air filled with gunpowder smoke also became fresh, making people feel relaxed and happy.

Of course, the relaxed and happy mood is only limited to people other than Shen Tang.

She was about to explode with rage now.

"You bastard, you feel good about being scolded by me, right?"

Anyone who sees the bills from these years will go crazy.

Shen Tang has always known that Xun Zhen and Kang Shi are prodigals, one is for money and the other is for life. She also knows that their use of the Way of Scholars will deduct her money and luck, and they are all overdrawn, so she just needs to make up for it later. The rules of heaven lend money and repay the loan by yourself. The whole process may generate certain interest, and Shen Tang is mentally prepared for this.

The good news is that there is no additional interest for the lending party in the early years.

Bad news will deduct your “merits”.

The number in the “Merit” column is staggering!
The worse news is that after the Central War broke out, additional money and transportation were charged for bill expenditures, and the annual interest rate was at the usury red line.

Shen Tang just glanced at all the bills.

The total amount of "merits" deducted over the past decade has exceeded 8 billion.

Shen Tang didn't know what "merit" was, nor did she know what it was used for. She guessed that it was something similar to national destiny, and normally she shouldn't be angry - national destiny was just a number to her. She didn't feel bad about opening a "family card" for Yang Ying, so she should have the same attitude towards "merit". However, she couldn't control her anger for no reason when she saw the account for the first time...

Her instinct told her that this bill was intolerable! The value of the "merit" deducted far exceeded the money and luck she had overdrawn over the years!

Shen Tang felt that Xun Zhen spent hundreds of billions of her money and it was well worth it.

War means spending money, so spending billions of dollars is very normal.

It was acceptable for Kang Shi to burn more than 1 billion of her luck.

As I said, there is no war without fire.
As long as we can win the battle, we will never have to worry about firewood.

There are many things that are not as precious as life.

but--

Why are “merits” still being deducted???
why?

baby why!

Shen Tang's intuition told him that he shouldn't have this expense.

At least it shouldn't be so much. This is not usury, but a loan with interest compounded. She can't stand it anymore!
After Shen Tang pointed to the sky and cursed, auspicious signs descended from the sky.

Suddenly, golden flowers fell from the sky and golden lotus emerged from the ground, which was very cool.

Shen Tang: "..."

The others were almost speechless watching this scene.

This kind of auspicious effect has never been seen before. Even the records of the sacred land of mountains and seas only say that this is only possible when a saint is born.

The master cursed God himself, but God not only did not get angry and strike him with thunder, but instead, he brought down auspicious signs?
No, is this really cool?

Gu Chi, who knew Shen Tang's background best among the crowd: "..."

This is indeed a bit perverted.

Before he had finished digesting it, his master spat out a large mouthful of blood in front of everyone. His face turned pale, and he fell backwards with his eyes closed. The doctor felt her pulse and turned pale with fright. The master was so angry that he almost died.

Those who had survived the Kangshi period were angered to death by the auspicious signs from heaven.

When Shen Tang slowly woke up, it was already dark outside the tent.

Shen Tang raised his hand and touched his chest.

"The high priest's medical skills don't need to be so good."

Let her die! Shen Tang finally knew why she was so lucky that she couldn't die. It wasn't because Kang Shi didn't work hard enough, or because Kang Shi wasn't evil enough, but because someone in the dark didn't want her to die. If she died, how could they secretly deduct her "merit"?
Jimo Qiu: "Your Highness, this is God's will."

Shen Tang: "..."

After a long time, she asked Jimo Qiu with the last bit of hope: "Does the high priest feel that... this account is wrong?"

Jimo Qiu: "Take it with all your might, and use it like dirt and sand."

It is not easy to earn "merit".

But if you want to spend it, Lord Tiandao has ten thousand tricks to rip off your customers.

Shen Tang still felt something was wrong: "...Since they are so random, why do they want me to be so unlucky?"

This loan company is too shady.

Not only did he deduct her money and her luck, he also took a huge amount of "merit" as interest, and finally made her unlucky in various ways. Several times, Shen Tang suspected that she was going to be killed by Kang Shike...

Isn't this a repeated debt collection?
Jimo Qiu didn't know why, but he could guess that the way of heaven was fair and also the most stingy. When dealing with other living beings, one sin would require one merit to pay off the debt. But if the sin was to insult Him, then the pricing power would be in His hands.

Ordinary creatures don't have much merit.

There won’t be much profit even if all the money is deducted.

If you are a person with great merits, then it will be profitable.

Especially since His Highness’ merits and virtues are not ordinary.

Jimo Qiudu suspected that there were hidden expenses in the accounts, such as deducting 10,000 or 100,000 merits for cursing. Anyway, Her Highness couldn't see the specific accounts, and she wouldn't find out if she was plagued by bad luck. Just as he was thinking, there was thunder outside.

His heart suddenly became heavy and he almost couldn't breathe.

Undoubtedly, this was a warning from God.

Jimo Qiu: "..."

No, would Lord Tiandao really do such a thing?

A blue-purple lightning bolt as thick as a thumb went straight through the tent and exploded at his feet. Everyone was used to this scene. When their master was unlucky, he was often struck by lightning, burned by fire, and hit by hail. Even drinking water would get stuck in his teeth. Shen Tang also thought that the lightning was coming for her.

She rubbed her chest with her hands wrapped like sticks.

There's a hint of doubt in my mind.

"…No, why can I see the real account?"

If she was a shady lending company, she would not let the borrower see these things at all. It would be in her best interest to let the other party borrow and repay the loan without knowing what was going on. Before this, Shen Tang had never suspected that there was something wrong with the lending company. Even if she suspected that the lending company was deducting money randomly, she had no concrete evidence. She even thanked God for letting her overdraw, which made her feel that the overdraft was worth it.

As a result, she saw the true accounts of previous years.

You couldn't be trying to make her angry on purpose, right?
Shen Tang raised his head and looked toward the night sky through the big hole in the tent roof.

Or is it that Wuhui's way of writing is so powerful?
