Everything starts from Menghualu

Chapter 575: Two Years and the Birth-Prompting Decree

Shen Li didn't speak for a while after hearing this. After a long while, she said, "Husband, let me ask you now, do you have anything to say about my Master's thoughts?"

"Hmm? Madam, why do you ask that? My heart has never belonged to anyone before. I only care about money. I will go wherever there is more money."

"But then I married you without thinking. To be honest, I thought that even if that happened, it wouldn't change me that much."

"But later I found out that things were far from what I thought. He was not that simple, especially now that you are pregnant."

"From my heart, I don't really care about the spiritual world or the immortal world. The only people I care about right now are you and this child who is about to be born."

"But I don't know what will happen next. I don't know how it will end. I don't know if I will change in the future, but at least it is like this now." Bai Jie said in a deep voice.
After hearing this, Shen Li did not speak for a while, but continued, "I know. I am very satisfied with your answer. I can hear that you did not lie to me. That's enough."

"After that, I won't ask about this matter anymore. Just focus on your pregnancy. As for other matters, you can talk to my master. But I can accept any result." Shen Li said
Baijie smiled, and Shen Li also smiled when he saw this. The couple understood everything without saying a word.

After the couple finished talking, Shen Li really stopped caring about anything from the next day onwards, whether it was the distribution of weapons or anything happening with her master, she didn't care.

Ling Zun didn't say anything about this. After all, she had said everything she needed to say and done everything she could. If there was really no other way, she could only watch.

Time passed quickly, and two years went by in the blink of an eye. Although Shen Li's belly grew bigger day by day, the baby in her belly was not born.

Although Baijie was a little worried, he did not show it. Instead, he took care of everything step by step, starting with weapons and then supervising the construction of the city.

It can be said that these two years were the busiest two years for him, but they were also the happiest two years, because for the first time he felt a sense of concern, a feeling he had never experienced before.

At the same time, he also discovered that he didn't seem to love money so much now. No, it should be said that his love for money was gradually transferred to Shen Li and the child in her belly.

That's why he has been worried, because this is obviously a calculation by heaven, and he is now trying hard to restrain himself every day.

Because he knew very well that when this emotion was completely transferred, that would be the time for God to take action, and he could not imagine what he would become at that time.

So he could only force himself every day and tell himself how much he loved money in order to resist the calculations of heaven, but sometimes, he still couldn't help but be unable to resist.

"Xingzhi, the calculations of the Heavenly Dao are getting more and more serious. I feel like I can't bear it any longer. I don't know how the Heavenly Dao is going to calculate against me this time?" Baijie said with a smile.

"I really admire you. You can still laugh at this moment?" Xingzhi said
"What else? If I don't laugh, can I cry? The key is, will this work?" Bai Jie said with a smile

"Haha, you are right. Heaven doesn't care what we think. After all, we are just tools created by it." Xingzhi said helplessly.

"So, some things are not impossible to do, but it depends on how to do them. For example, I am doing this now, even though I know I might be plotted against, I still do it."

"I know it may be in vain in the end, but I just don't want to admit defeat. After all, I have survived all these years, and I don't want to fall here." Bai Jie said directly
"Haha, well said. Just for what you said, I should have a drink with you. But unfortunately, I want to ask you again, what do you think?" Xingzhi said seriously.

"Hmm? What do you mean by that? What are you thinking?" Bai Jie asked in confusion.
"Okay, stop pretending. Do you really think I can't see it? I really let you fool me before. I really thought you were doing this for the money."

"But when I found out that you actually control the spirit world, I knew something was wrong. What are you thinking? You don't want to..." Xingzhi continued
"Yes, that's what I think, Xingzhi. There are some things I have to try. If I don't try, I won't be satisfied."

"The more the Heavenly Dao doesn't want me to do something, the more I will do it. I want to see how the Heavenly Dao will treat me after I unify the three realms!" Bai Jie said directly
"As expected, as expected, you still want to be like this. If I try to persuade you now, I guess you won't listen. What I want to know now is, what are you going to do in the Immortal Realm?" Xingzhi said
"The Immortal Realm? Except for the Heavenly Monarch, no one in the Immortal Realm can attack me. Do you think that the Heavenly Monarch alone can be my opponent?"

"As long as I want, these three realms are mine at any time. It depends on when I want to take them." Bai Jie said
"Bai Jie, if you continue like this, I may have to take action against you one day in the future. Then...?" Xing Zhi said in a deep voice
"It's okay. I understand. Just go ahead and I'll find a way. I've thought about that day long before I did all this, so don't worry." Bai Jie said.
"Well, well, you go back first, I have to be busy now." Xingzhi waved his hand.
"Okay, I know you are in a bad mood, so I'll leave first. I'll come to see you again in a few days. I hope we can have a few drinks then." After Baijie said this, he disappeared.

Xingzhi looked at the place where he left, and drank the wine in the glass with a lonely expression.

After Baijie came down from Tianwaitian, he went straight to inspect the city. Yes, after two years, the city had been completed.

Although the population in the city was still sparse, Dan Tart could feel that the number of children was gradually increasing, which made him very happy.

After all, this has been his goal all along. As long as there are more people, there will be more wealth. After all, there are too many gaps everywhere now.

Before, people were needed to build the city, the shops of the major families needed people, and the industries behind them also needed people. The generals held a large amount of land.

Nature cannot be left to waste, so nature needs people to cultivate it. It can be said that the spiritual world now is in a state of disrepair, just like it was more than a thousand years ago.

"Madam, I'm back. Did you miss me?" Bai Jie said with a smile

"Haha, husband, do you think I am thinking about you now? I don't know what's wrong with this little guy. He always gives you a hard time." Shen Li said unhappily.
"Haha, Madam, I see this little guy can't wait to come out, you should be happy, right? You know, now that he's out, won't you feel relieved?" Bai Jie said with a smile, "You're still laughing? You still have the nerve to laugh? Because of you, it's all because of you!" Shen Li said directly
"Yes, yes, Madam, don't be angry. Don't be angry. It's because of me, because of me. I was wrong. I was wrong, okay? Don't be angry. It's not good to get sick from anger." Bai Jie said.
"Humph, you really are! By the way, now that the city has been built, do you want to call them all over? After all, there will probably be trouble after this." Shen Li said
"Hmm? Madam, what do you mean? Are you talking about the conflict between the military commanders and the civil officials? Then you don't have to worry at all. They can't fight each other now."

"Don't think that everything seems to be over, but in fact it's still a long way off. After all, don't forget that there are not that many people in the spirit world."

"Whether it's the shops of the civil officials or the land of the military commanders, it takes a lot of time to fully cultivate them. Under such circumstances, how can they have time to fight?"

"Even if they robbed it, what would happen? There would still be no one there. Even the civil servants wouldn't be interested in that little piece of land. If they had that much time, they might as well run the shop properly." Bai Jie said with a smile

"Well, it seems that what you said is true. This is indeed a big problem. Do you think we should issue a decree to encourage people to have more children?" Shen Li asked back.
"Of course there will be such a decree. I guess Ling Zun is already preparing for it now." Bai Jie said with a smile

When Shen Li heard this, it seemed that if she could think of it, her master should be able to think of it too, so she nodded.

"Madam, since you've been having fetal movements recently, I won't go out starting tomorrow. You shouldn't worry about anything else and just focus on taking care of your baby."

"After all, you didn't worry so much before, and the spirit world has been fine, hasn't it?" Bai Jie said
After hearing this, Shen Li felt a little unconvinced, but she didn't say anything. After all, although what her husband said was unpleasant, it was the truth.

In the past, she didn't worry about state affairs, and everything was indeed fine. In fact, the things she was worried about were also the things that Ling Zun was worried about at this moment.

"My dear ministers, you have said so much, why not listen to my opinion? Now the area of ​​my spiritual world has increased by 30%. In comparison, the number of civilians is naturally much less."

"After listening to what you said just now, I thought about it and found that there are many good points in what you said, but you also encountered a problem."

"That's because the treasury has no money. If we want these people to keep having children, we need to meet their basic needs without doing anything productive. Otherwise, I'm afraid the effect will be small."

"So what I mean is that you should pay for it first. The children born by these people will need to work in your family's industry to pay off the debt when they grow up."

"Of course, in order to relieve the people from any concerns, I will hand over your investment to Bailian Xianjun for supervision, so as to relieve the people from any worries." Ling Zun said directly
After hearing this, none of the ministers spoke for a while. After all, on the surface, Ling Zun's method was very beneficial to their big families.

After all, in twenty years at most, there will be a group of people who can make up for the lack of personnel in their own industry, and they don't have to pay too much money at the beginning. It is cost-effective no matter how you look at it.

But this is not how the account is calculated. After all, it doesn't matter if there is no interest. They have plenty of ways to inflate the cost. But if we let the Immortal Lord Bailian supervise it, that would be troublesome.

After all, this guy is famous for his cleverness, and their little tricks may not be hidden from him at all. If it were someone else, they would naturally not be afraid.

After all, their families have been rooted in the spiritual world for countless years. As long as there is someone supervising them, they are naturally not worried. But when this person is the Immortal Lord Bailian, they have to worry.

After all, this Immortal Lord Bailian was first a person from the fairy world, and then the husband of King Bi Cang. Most importantly, they had invested huge amounts of money in the city and shops, and their safety was still in his hands.

This forced them to be cautious, and some people already wanted to oppose it. After all, this matter seemed to be a good thing, but it was actually very troublesome, and if they were not careful, they would get into trouble.

But some people don't think so. After all, the spirit stones have already been invested. If they can't be fully circulated for a long time, the loss every day will not be a small amount.

Compared with these losses, twenty years of food and clothing is just a few dollars? After all, they control a large amount of material trade.

Once anything falls into their hands, the cost is at least 30% lower than the market price, so when you add it all up, it really doesn't cost much.

It would only take 20 years to get their store fully up and running, so the deal was pretty good. So they naturally agreed.

But they had a tacit understanding with each other. No matter whether they were the one who agreed or the one who opposed, neither of them spoke first. They were waiting for the other to come forward first.

Since Ling Zun proposed this plan, he had naturally anticipated the possible problems that might arise.

"Everyone, why don't you say anything? Do you agree or disagree?" Ling Zun said directly
After hearing this, the ministers looked at each other, and no one spoke for a while.

"Okay, since you're all silent, then listen to me. I know you must have different opinions, some agree and some disagree."

"But it doesn't matter. Let's give it a try first. Let's try it with a city first to see if it works. If it works, then we'll continue to promote it." Ling Zun said directly
After hearing this, the two parties almost said in unison, "I second the motion."

Just like that, the matter was settled, but Baijie, who was the most important link in the whole matter, still knew nothing about it.

When the time came to the next day, Baijie Nanzhi did not go out, but stayed in the palace. But not long after, he heard that Ling Zun wanted to see him, so he followed him into Ling Zun's hall.

"Ling Zun, I wonder why you called me here this time?" Bai Jie asked directly
"My Lord, I called you here because I have something to discuss with you. This is the situation from yesterday. What do you think?" Shen Yue said directly.
