Grow from a fairy seed

Chapter 161 I'll Dig a Hole Here First, Superstar Wen Qiufeng will Appear Again, Imperial Envoy
Most of the materials transported to Changlezhou depart from the Imperial City.

Flying boats and spirit beasts are more efficient for transportation, but the cost is also high.

As we all know, there are some problems with the Daling Dynasty's treasury.

Most supplies heading northwest pass through the canal and then transported by air.

Those who bombed the river should be aiming at the emptiness of the Daling Dynasty's treasury.

Ji Qiu asked: "Are there any powerful monks taking action? It shouldn't be difficult to protect the river, right?"

Li Wenjie whispered: "I heard that Emperor Daling was about to take action immediately, but was stopped."

"Four hours later, the flood was brought under control."

"At Wudukou, more than a million people were killed or injured, 10 people were missing, and the number of people affected is incalculable."

Ji Qiu frowned and asked, "Did the evil cultivator do it?"

Li Wenjie still kept a low voice: "Yes, the one who made the move was a Mahayana evil cultivator named Wen He Taoist, and I heard that there is an inner ghost."

"Many unexploded talismans were found in the river. The evil cultivator has been planning for a long time. Normally, they will be discovered."

"The imperial monks who were responsible for the inspection were all killed when they were found, and there was no way to investigate further."

"The imperial court... is very worried. The victims are already arguing about whether to save them or not."

Li Wenjie just finished speaking.

Ji Qiu noticed Wen Chunfeng's aura.

"We'll talk about it later."

After cutting off the conversation with Li Wenjie, Ji Qiu fell into the yard, set up tables and chairs, and made hot tea.

Wen Chunfeng sat down with a little anger on his face: "Have you heard about it?"

Ji Qiu nodded: "If the senior is talking about the river destruction case, I just heard about it."

Wen Chunfeng gritted his teeth and said: "A dignified monk has repeatedly taken advantage of ordinary people and consumed the imperial court's financial resources. It is shameless."

"If you have the guts to come out and have a fight, I... Your Majesty won't smash that blameless head into pieces, he won't be worthy of being called the Great Spirit Emperor!"

Ji Qiu waved his hand quickly: "Senior Wen, be careful what you say."

Wen Chunfeng took a deep breath, calmed down, and asked: "What should I do? Is there any way?"

Ji Qiu was a little helpless: "I just heard about it..."

"Then just think now, I'll wait for you here."

Wen Chunfeng picked up the teacup, took a sip, closed his eyes and thought.

in the hall.

Wen Ren opened his eyes after a long absence and looked at the heads of the Third Division and the Twelve Houses who were still arguing.

Tang Tianren: "We can't save them. The national treasury is empty. It would be too expensive to save more than 100 million people!"

The head of the Su family in Yuzhou, Su Xingfang frowned: "Do you, the Tang family, want to get out of this matter?"

Su Xingfang was wearing a white robe, with half-white beard and hair. He was an energetic old man.

"The Tang family is responsible for the oversight in this matter. The rescue resources should be provided by the Tang family."

Tang Tianren slapped the table: "You put it lightly! Can the Tang family save people who the national treasury cannot save?"

Xu Haoming, the head of the Xu family in Bazhou, echoed: "This should be the responsibility of the imperial court."

"The Tang family's responsibility will naturally be investigated, but it has nothing to do with this matter."

Xu Haoming has a black beard and a tall build. He looks dignified and wears a dark red robe.

"save!"

"No help!"

"The imperial court saves!"

"Tang family help!"

……

Wenren stayed silent for a long time, and felt a headache after listening to it.

A quarter of an hour later.

Wen Chunfeng opened his eyes and looked at Ji Qiu: "Have you thought about it?"

Ji Qiu nodded: "Some immature suggestions."

Wen Chunfeng's eyes lit up: "Oh? Say it quickly!"

Ji Qiu said: "These people are saved."

Wen Chunfeng nodded: "Your Majesty also wants to save, but the problem is... there are not enough resources."

"The problem of the national treasury will not be clear for a while. Anyway, there is almost no food, and the gold and silver are also empty."

"There are some spiritual stones, but not enough to save people."

Ji Qiu was slightly surprised. He didn't expect the imperial court to be so poor.

Isn’t there a spiritual mine?

How come there are not enough spirit stones?

Ji Qiu didn't ask any more questions, just said: "The court does not need to pay."

Wen Chunfeng frowned: "Let the Tang family come out?"

"Correct."

Wen Chunfeng's voice was cold: "They didn't come out and said it was a matter for the imperial court."

Ji Qiu said: "Just ask them to come out, of course they won't come out."

"Since he said this is the responsibility of the imperial court, then the imperial court can naturally exercise its power."

"Send someone there first, and seal up Wanbao on the grounds of investigating the source of the talisman."

"All aristocratic families should sort out their property and accept the court's investigation."

"The Tang family is naturally inconvenient to move, but the mining of minerals and spiritual materials must be stopped to prevent evil cultivators from taking advantage of the situation."

……

Ji Qiu said something, and Wen Chunfeng's eyes lit up.

"The three divisions in Lingzhou are all members of the Tang family, so this time we have to let the Guards Division appear."

When Ji Qiu finished speaking, Wen Chunfeng clapped his hands and said with a smile: "What a great idea!"

"I...asked His Majesty to cut off the Tang family's financial resources. As time went by, the losses would be greater than the lives saved, so they naturally compromised!"

"The Guards Department is also a master of one move! Without the Guards Department, this matter would be really difficult to handle!"

To be honest, there is nothing too profound about this plan.

It's just that the development of the Great Ling Dynasty in terms of political strategy is really average.

Ji Qiu said: "If you have the chance, you can ask His Majesty to dig a hole for the Tang family to jump into."

"Let His Majesty say this..."

After a while.

Wen Chunfeng smiled and closed his eyes.

in the hall.

The heads of each family are still arguing.

Wenren coughed after a long absence.

All sounds disappeared instantly.

Wenren said after a long absence: "I have made a decision."

A flash of surprise flashed in Qin Haishou's eyes.

This is from the external brain, which has heard the whole idea.

Wen Ren gave Qin Haishou a warning look after a long absence.

Don't talk too much, kid.

Qin Haishou rubbed his knees, looked away, shut up and sat down.

Wenren said after a long absence: "This matter really should not be the concern of the Tang family."

"According to the ancestral teachings, the imperial court should manage the people and bear the responsibility of rescue."

Tang Tianren's face brightened, and he quickly said, "Your Majesty is wise!"

Wenren smiled after a long absence: "The Tang family has actually done quite well in Lingzhou these years, so you family heads don't need to make things difficult for him."

"This matter will be handled according to the instructions and regulations of the Great Spirit Ancestor. Do you have any opinions?"

"No."

"I have no objection."

"But these victims... Your Majesty, can the court still save them?"

After hearing that this matter should be handled according to the instructions of the Great Spirit Ancestor, the Tang family was the first to jump out and support it.

Su Xingfang had some objections and was worried that the court would not be able to save these people.

Wenren looked at Su Xingfang after a long absence, with some approval in his eyes.

The ancestors of the Su family and the Qin family followed Wenren Ke to conquer the world.

These two families have the deepest feelings for Daling Dynasty.

The other ten clans were conquered from various places during the war.

Wenren said after a long absence: "There is always a way to solve things."

"First replace it with 5000 million kilograms of grain and distribute it."

"That's it for disaster relief, Old Tang. How is the investigation of the mole going?"

Tang Tianren quickly stood up and saluted with his hands raised: "Still investigating."

"But... the person died. His Majesty personally performed the divination and did not deduce the result. I really don't know how to investigate."

"Anyway, I can ensure that no one from our Tang family is involved in this matter." Wen Ren narrowed his eyes after a long absence and asked, "Does the head of the Tang family want this matter to go away like this?"

Tang Tianren quickly shook his head: "Of course not, I will investigate carefully and find out everything that can be found!"

Wenren's tone was still gentle after seeing him for a long time: "I also know that it is difficult for you."

"The local aristocratic families are complicated and have been intertwined with each other for many years. It is naturally not good to conduct a thorough investigation."

Tang Tianren said quickly: "Your Majesty is considerate and I am touched!"

Wenren smiled after a long absence: "Don't be so impatient to be impressed, I will give you some more benefits."

The family heads present all showed expressions of confusion and shock.

What do you mean?
If you do something wrong, can you still get a reward?
What's the point of this?
Wenren said after a long absence: "The Tang family no longer needs to investigate the matter of evil cultivators. The Department of Guards will be responsible for the Tang family."

"During the investigation, the Third Division of Lingzhou was transferred to the Division of Guards, and obeyed the orders of the special investigation's imperial envoy at this time."

"Do you have any opinions?"

Just two sentences.

The expressions of the heads of the family present and the boss of the Third Division changed.

What a big hole!

His Majesty said a lot, it turned out that he was waiting for the Tang family here!

According to the teachings of the great spirit ancestors, if there is a war or a foreign enemy invades, the emperor must not think of favors and be merciful.

We need to control each state and thoroughly investigate hidden dangers.

In order to avoid the cost of disaster relief, Tang Tianren respected the ancestral rules and regulations of the Daling Dynasty.

Now that he heard that Ren was going to take over Lingzhou after a long absence, Tang Tianren had no position to refute.

Mahayana monks generally still have a sense of shame.

Jumping left and right, and eating back the words that come out of your mouth, the heads of each family cannot do it.

Tang Tianren's face was ugly, he was silent for a moment, then he cupped his hands and said, "My lord, I accept the order."

Wenren said with a smile on his face after a long absence: "I can see that Old Tang is very touched."

Tang Tianren forced out a smile that was uglier than crying: "Your Majesty is considerate, I am... very touched."

Wenren waved his hand after a long absence: "Since we have agreed, let's do it."

"We will discuss this after the results of the investigation by the Imperial Guards Division are available."

"Everyone, please go back."

Done.

The heads of each family left one by one.

Qin Haishou glanced at the smiling Wen Ren after a long separation, but still couldn't hold it back and came over and said, "Your Majesty, you really didn't come up with this plan by yourself, did you?"

thump.

Qin Haishou knelt on the spot.

outside the palace.

The heads of each family got on the treasure ship and left separately with some thoughts on their minds.

Qian Tongxian, Gui Mandrill, and a deputy envoy from Qin Tiansi who replaced Yu Fanxiao came together.

Qian Tongxian said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, do you mean that you want to cut the power of the Third Division?"

Ghost Mandrill shook his head: "Probably not. This matter is just to investigate the Tang family."

Qian Tongxian's eyes were sharp: "But how long will the investigation last? When will it be completed? Your Majesty said nothing."

"During the investigation, the entire third division was placed under the control of the Guards Division."

The deputy envoy of the Qintian Division next to him said: "What's going on with the Imperial Guard Division now?"

Qian Tongxian looked at it with both hands: "Qin Haishou is responsible, how could I know?"

"But it shouldn't be strong, the time is too short."

Deputy envoy Qin Tiansi said: "I'm afraid this investigation may also be dangerous."

"How could the Tang family do nothing?"

Ghost Mandrill said coldly: "They don't dare."

Qian Tongxian shook his head and sent Qin Tiansi's deputy envoy away first.

Wait until only Qian Tongxian and Ghost Mandrill are left.

Qian Tongxian used his secret technique to prevent anyone from eavesdropping, and then said: "Your Majesty wants to ban the Third Division, what do you think?"

The mandrill remained silent.

Qian Tongxian smiled: "This question is really difficult to answer."

"I don't have an answer in my heart. Let's see how this matter will turn out."

Ghost Mandrill nodded, and the two dispersed.

……

"Ha ha……"

Wen Chunfeng in front of Ji Qiu smiled happily.

"You haven't seen it. Tang Tianren's face at that time was uglier than when his mother died."

"Things are also going very well."

Ji Qiu poured a cup of tea for Wen Chunfeng: "Disaster relief requires not only food, but also land."

"These disaster victims can actually be resettled in Jinzhou. It just so happens that Jinzhou's population is much thinner. There is land but no one."

Wen Chunfeng nodded: "It's a good idea. It's not far away anyway. We'll start moving them in a few days."

Ji Qiu's face turned serious: "The investigation by the Imperial Guards Department will not go smoothly."

"They have offended the profit-seeking forces in Lingzhou. Please inform Your Majesty to protect them."

It is not easy to kill imperial envoys, but it is not impossible to kill them.

Wen Chunfeng narrowed his eyes: "If the Tang family really has such courage, it may not be a bad thing."

"The selection for the Guards Division went extremely smoothly."

"As for family status, it doesn't seem to be that important. It's not impossible to wipe it off."

The basic operation of the Great Spirit Dynasty was previously supported entirely by the gate valve.

The emperors of all dynasties also knew that there was a problem with the clan.

But it’s hard to change.

The resources and manpower controlled by the clan are bottomless.

The Taoist League is still plotting evil on the outside.

The appearance of the Imperial Guard gave Wenren an idea and a chess piece that could be manipulated after a long time.

Ji Qiu did not agree with this statement.

A battle of this level was not something he, a young monk in the middle stage of becoming a god, could participate in.

Wen Chunfeng looked at Ji Qiu and said with a smile: "You helped a lot this time."

"Tell me, what reward do you want?"

Ji Qiu thought for a while and asked: "Can you ask your seniors to help prepare a copy of the materials for breaking through and returning to the void?"

Wen Chunfeng nodded: "No problem."

"Although the treasury is short of money, food, and spiritual stones, there are not too many treasures like this."

Ji Qiu's doubts came out at this time: "There are spiritual mines all over the Great Spirit Dynasty, why are there not enough spiritual stones?"

Wen Chunfeng's face became a little dignified: "It's gone."

"what?"

"No matter how many spiritual veins there are, if they are dug out in 10 years, they will be almost used up."

Wen Chunfeng said: "Originally, new spiritual veins should be generated, but the imperial court has never found a new spiritual vein suitable for mining."

"Every large formation consumes spiritual stones. The spiritual stones in the national treasury must have been maintained for more than 400 years. They finally bottomed out in the past few years."

Ji Qiu nodded and became silent.

Is the theory of national destiny true?
Could the spiritual veins have gathered elsewhere?
Wen Chunfeng looked at Ji Qiu and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. This time we go west to Changle Continent, we can capture a lot of spiritual veins."

"There are unexploited spiritual veins in every state, but the imperial court doesn't want to give in to them, so it hasn't touched these resources yet."

Ji Qiu nodded: "That's good."

Wen Chunfeng looked at Ji Qiu, and a smile gradually appeared on his face: "Do you want any other rewards?"

"Only nine treasures are too few."

Ji Qiu shook his head: "That's enough. Thank you, senior."

"Really?"

Wen Chunfeng asked.

Ji Qiu's heart skipped a beat when he suddenly discovered a problem.

Who is suitable to lead the Guards Division to carry out this mission?
This person must know Wanbao Town very well.

Have a clear understanding of various personal connections in Lingzhou.

The strength also needs to be stronger.

The key is to be able to make changes on the spot and be able to deal with various emergencies.

He...can't say bad words.

Isn't this pit perfectly suited to the new superstar of Da Ling, who can compete with the three Jiang Wuhuo, the dream lover of thousands of girls... Wen Qiufeng? !

Looking at Wen Chunfeng's eyes, Ji Qiu smiled bitterly in his heart, knowing that he probably wouldn't be able to escape this time.

He cupped his hands and said, "Senior, please speak frankly. Wen Qiufeng is ready."
