Hanging pot to help the world, I just want to live forever

Chapter 219 Enthusiasm and Wealth

Qi Yinglong opened his eyes wide and was speechless for a moment.

It is an indisputable fact that the winner enjoys the right to dominate everything.

What Gu Dan wants to do has nothing to do with whether he supports it or not, and he doesn't even have the right to oppose it.

When a person's mighty power reaches this level, no one can check and balance, and he can indeed do whatever he wants.

Benevolence, righteousness and morality are better than jackals.

Emperor Daqi prayed for Long to open his mouth several times, and finally said: "You can do what you want. See if the result is the same!"

In history, there are also some strong people who tried to establish a world of great harmony. Although it was only a world of great harmony in a small area, the final result would make people sigh.

Such a small place, let alone a country?
It sounds wonderful that ideals come into reality, but in the process of reality approaching ideals, there are too many hardships and the road is too tortuous, which is enough to make people daunted.

"That's not what you can see."

Gu Dan glanced at him coldly, then picked up another stack of papers from the ground.

That was the condition that Qi Yinglong offered for the second time, to pray for [-]% of the national treasury.

"Get your pen!"

Gu Dan said.

Praying Dragon was silent for a moment, then beckoned.

Soon, a servant brought the brush over.

Gu Dan took the brush and began to revise directly on the handwriting written on the paper.

Prayer Dragon was a little curious, but it was hard to look around, so he could only stand there silently, listening to the subtle sound of the pen tip scratching across the paper, not knowing what he was doing.

People who even say that the entire national treasury is not enough, what will they do with the gold and silver treasures in the Daqi treasury?
Gu Dan's speed was so fast that he didn't need much time to think. He put aside one piece of paper after another, and after he had sketched all of them, the attendant who was standing aside to deliver the brushes was already standing there in amazement. His eyes couldn't help sweeping over him.

"Take it."

When the ink on the last piece of paper had already fallen off, Gu Dan raised his chin slightly.

"Yes!"

The attendant didn't dare to be negligent, and gathered the papers together as if afraid of Gu Dan's regret, and handed them to Qi Yinglong.

Qi Yinglong reached out to take it, and after his curious eyes fell on it, he was stunned for a while.

It's not because Gu Dan lion opened his mouth, but because the things Gu Dan wants are too few.

Yes, too little.

It was even less than what he offered for the first time.

It's only about [-]% of the national treasury - in other times, this is of course a huge sum, enough to make him heartbroken, but this is compensation, compensation related to his wealth and life!
It can be called benevolent if you don't take everything, let alone only [-]%?

Qi Yinglong couldn't help rubbing his eyes with his palms. His eyes didn't look at flowers, let alone dream.

Immediately afterwards, he couldn't wait to look through the second and third sheets. Almost all the things he had prepared were greatly reduced. Only the cloth and food were slightly more, and they only reached [-]%.

Compared with the [-]% of the treasury's wealth that he took out for the first time, it was almost completely discounted in half!
When turning to the last page, Qi Yinglong discovered something different.

There are a lot of words on it.

For example, abolish the hierarchical system of Daqi people. Since then, there will be no first-class people, second-class people, and third-class people. Xian, Shang Tong, festival music, festival burial.
After reading all of them, Qi Yinglong felt full of doubts and unreality in his heart.

These conditions were much better than the best results he had imagined.

It was so good that he felt that this might just be a bad joke, a bad joke that wanted him to see hope, and then witness the embarrassment when the hope was shattered.

"This is your condition?"

Even though he knew that this condition was probably playing tricks on him, like a predator catching a prey, Qi Yinglong couldn't help asking.

"Of course not."

Gu Dan said firmly.

"."

Even if Qi Yinglong had some mental preparations, he still felt struck by lightning when he heard it.

Sure enough, how could it be so simple?

"After the compensation this time, how many years Daqi has conquered Dayue, he will have to pay for how many years. The amount is set at [-]% of the national treasury."

Gu Dan said.

"That's it?"

Emperor Daqi couldn't help but said.

Immediately he reacted, and quickly explained: "I mean, there are only these conditions?"

"What I said before is true. Those local gentry, aristocratic families, and even royal nobles who dare to embezzle the people's fat and anointing will be slaughtered. I want the hungry to have food, the cold to have clothes, and the laborers to rest."

Gu Dan lowered his eyes slightly, "Do you think I'm joking?"

Daqi Emperor prayed for the dragon to lose his mind for a while.

He suddenly understood that Gu Dan came here not just to settle accounts.

He not only wants to ask for an explanation for the people of Da Yue, but also seeks a future for the people of Da Qi.

The morality of the world. The morality of the world has never been limited to one place.

This is true of Da Yue, and so is Da Qi.

It's a pity that he tried to please in every possible way, and his posture and etiquette were sufficient, but he didn't even know what the other party really thought.

Even if Bai Xundao brought him the words "the morality of the world", how can someone who has never witnessed the morality understand it?

Now, he understands.

The opponent has not only the strength that is the best in the world, but also the heart that is the best in the world.

What Gu Dan wants is not to gather all the wealth in the world and pile it up into a mountain of gold and silver, and lie on it and enjoy it safely.

It is to make the people of the world suffer less.

The word morality is easy to say.

But when this choice is really in front of them, how many people can resist the endless temptation?

It's ridiculous that he planned in every possible way, but he only ignored the answer in front of him.

The world, the world, he himself has never regarded Daqi as a part of the world, and he thinks that the world in the other party's mouth refers to the people of the land of the big moon.

At this moment, he truly understood why some people regard others as saints.

The disaster that was originally expected has never been crushed on top of their heads.

On the contrary, they are always judging the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

"I understand."

Emperor Daqi prayed for the dragon to look solemn, and he bowed deeply to Gu Dan, bowing to the end, sincerely convinced.

Immediately, he said loudly: "What I want now, I will do my best to cooperate, even if I die, I will have no regrets!"

The price of this defeat was far better than what he wanted.

In the end, a foreigner cared more about Daqi's people than the emperor.

This is really like a joke.

"The matter is not over yet. Over the years of war, the taxes have increased a lot, right? I don't want anyone to be frozen to death this winter and starve to death. I also don't want to hear that when I come to Daqi next time, The powerful and evil gentry in a certain place rely on someone behind their backs to do evil."

Gu Dan accepted his gift calmly, and said without doubt: "Otherwise, Daqi's royal family can be changed."

Qi Yinglong hesitated for a moment, even though he knew that he should not continue to question at this time, but he had to say something, "The transformation of the system did not happen overnight, not to mention that there was no preparation at all before. It is from now on to liquidate, until now." It may not be possible to finish it in the next spring. The territory is vast, and it will take at least a month for news to go back and forth.

"Then you can do as much as you can, so many masters, all of them are dead?!"

Of course, Gu Dan also understands this truth. In this era, the king can decide many things, but there are also some things that he can't do anything about. The passage of government orders is definitely not just the emperor's mouth, and the people below will do it wholeheartedly.

But if you don't say anything, these guys don't care at all.

Gu Dan turned his gaze to Xue Wenjian, walked in front of him, and pulled up his collar, "You dare to draw your sword against me, but you dare not draw your sword against corrupt officials?"

Xue Wenjian's face was flushed, he didn't know whether it was because of his internal injuries or he was ashamed, "Of course I dare!"

"Then go kill it, and you want me to teach you?"

Gu Dan threw him away and turned his eyes to the two masters Tan and Xin, "You two continue to stay in Daqi and do these things with them. , then you can help them face up. If someone stops"

Gu Dan smiled, "If you think I'm easy to talk, then you might as well try again."

His words were relaxed and natural, almost without any murderous aura.

But it made Emperor Daqi's heart tremble.

Why were you so humble before?

Isn't it because Bai Xundao died in front of his eyes!
Don't look at Gu Dan's appearance as a living saint talking about benevolence, righteousness and morality now, but when he strikes cruelly, he will never show mercy!

What's more, people like them don't have the slightest sympathy on Gu Dan's side, instead they have hatred.

There is no chance for them to make a mistake, this is a stark warning.

From the beginning to the end, what Gu Dan valued was not these people, but the group of people living in the land of Daqi.

To Gu Dan, it doesn't make any difference whether they are in charge of this authority or someone else is in charge of this authority.

"Don't worry, I will do my best! Whoever dares to stop, even my own son, I will not let go!"

Daqi Emperor Qiyinglong patted his chest and assured.

"You guys, do you have any questions?"

Gu Dan looked at the masters again.

These masters usually don't set off, but when they set off, they are indeed the top forces in the world.

It's just that this power is usually used to ensure its own rule, rather than as part of the power of change in the world.

In a hurry, the masters, who usually don't interfere too much in power struggles, have to act.

"no problem."

The seven masters looked at each other, feeling grateful.

They had recovered a life, and they were not forced to death like Bai Xundao.

These little things, of course, agreed to come down.

After all, as a master, who hasn't killed a few people yet?
"When I come back next time, I won't be as easy to talk as today."

Gu Dan scanned the audience and said calmly.

Until this time, Qi Yinglong breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that what Gu Dan said was serious, "Don't worry, I will send the compensation for the people of Dayue as soon as possible. As for what you want us to do Those things will be done as quickly as possible without any delay.”

Gu Dan glanced at him, nodded in disinterest, and beckoned to Xun Ke who was beside him, "Let's go."

Watching the two figures, one big and one small, actually start to walk outside the palace like this, Qi Yinglong couldn't tell what kind of feeling he felt.

When the figure in the green robe gradually drifted away in his eyes, Qi Yinglong just woke up like a dream, and Qi Yinglong couldn't help but said: "I know your name, but people in the world only regard Moqiu as someone." Saint, these things you have done are not exaggerated by all families and Buddhas, why don't you want to mention your name?"

"I do not need."

In the distance, Emperor Daqi heard the voice from the wind, which was faintly transmitted.

Misty and cold, as if separated by a whole piece of heaven and earth.

Suddenly, a sentence that I once saw in a book but had been forgotten in the depths of my memory suddenly flooded into my mind.

A saint is nameless, a god is useless, and a perfect person is useless.

When they walked out of the palace, the sky was already dimly lit.

When they set foot on the avenue again, many people on both sides of the street began to rush for their livelihood.

The night is over and a new day is about to begin.

The two strangers walked in a foreign land, walking lightly and calmly.

"Mr. Gu"

Xun Ke, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly called out.

"Ok?"

Gu Dan responded.

"Actually, you have already thought about it? These things."

Xun Ke asked.

"I've thought about it for a while. Killing people can't solve everything. Force is a good thing, but you can't do things with force. Sometimes, you need both kindness and force."

Gu Dan replied.

"so good."

Xun Ke smiled.

Wars always start with blood, but hopefully they don't all end with blood.

People in this world can't always be bitter, it's time to be sweet.

"Hey~ hey!"

When passing by a small vendor, a guy desperately greeted the two of them, shouting non-stop.

Turning around to look, it was the peddler who enthusiastically told them about the beauty of Daqihuangdu.

"You two, are you really going to the palace?"

The peddler asked curiously and enviously.

He got up early in the morning and saw these two people set foot on Chaotian Street from the area in front of the palace. If they hadn't spent the night in the palace, who would believe it!

"Yeah, I didn't lie to you, did I?"

Gu Dan said with a smile.

"Amazing! Did you see the emperor? How is the palace? Isn't it beautiful?"

Surprised and envious, the peddler asked questions one after another, full of curiosity.

"seen."

Gu Dan turned his head to look in the direction of Daqi Palace.

At this time, when the morning sun was rising, there was thick fog on the mountain on which the Daqi Palace relied.

There are many pedestrians here, and the beautiful scenery in the distance is in sight.

The clouds and light pull each other, and the white mist covers the mountains.

Like a fairyland.

"It's really beautiful."
