Grow from a fairy seed

Chapter 175: Reluctant to marry his daughter, plotting against his old father-in-law, the shocked Wen Chunfeng
Qian Tongxian’s reaction was the most intense: “No money!”

"Your Majesty! Fighting against Changle Continent has already consumed a lot of resources. Fighting against Wandao Continent will probably consume more than ten times the resources of the western front!"

Wenren Jiubie asked: "Didn't you just retrieve so many spirit stones?"

Qian Tongxian counted on his fingers and said: "The spirit stones must be kept to supply various formations."

"The imperial city's city protection formation, the coastal defense formation, the sound insulation and anti-theft restrictions of each department..."

"And spiritual grass cannot be exchanged for spiritual stones. The amount of spiritual grass that the Great Spirit Dynasty can harvest every year is limited, and there is a serious shortage of elixirs to restore spiritual power."

……

Qian Tongxian even took out an account book and an abacus made of lapis lazuli, a precious material.

He hammered away and carefully calculated the accounts for Wenren after a long absence.

Wen Ren wanted to interrupt several times after a long absence, but Qian Tongxian ignored them.

Qian Tongxian had known Wen Ren for a long time, and they had known each other for no less than 500 years. Qian Tongxian usually respected Wen Ren for a long time, and rarely opposed Wen Ren for a long time so fiercely.

But a cross-sea war would have a major impact, and he strongly opposed the war.

Wenren tried to interrupt for a long time to no avail, so he could only listen to Qian Tongxian's words quietly.

After a moment of incense, Qian Tongxian finally finished speaking and sat back down.

Wenren looked at the other four Mahayana monks present after a long absence: "What do you think?"

Ghost Mandrill was the first to speak: "We should fight and eradicate the roots. If the evil cultivator is not completely resolved, it will inevitably get worse."

Yu Fan smiled and sighed: "Both of you are right, but Lao Qian's words are more realistic. Right now, I really have no resources."

Qin Haishou asked: "Can I exchange it with the Dao Alliance? Their elixir storage should be sufficient."

Su Xingfang frowned: "If you trade with the Dao Alliance, you will definitely be ripped off, and it depends on their faces."

Ghost Mandrill said coldly: "You want to get things done, but are you afraid of losing face?"

"Master Su is afraid of losing face, so I, Gui Zhu, can go and talk."

Qian Tongxian said loudly: "Everyone! Anyway, you have to find a way to deal with resources! Jinshisi really doesn't have a single pill!"

"It's okay to borrow elixirs. Based on the current annual output of elixirs in the Great Ling Dynasty, if we attack Wandaozhou once, the debt we owe will be enough to repay it in 30 years!"

After Qian Tongxian finished speaking, the hall fell silent.

Wen Ren glanced at him after a long absence and knew in his heart that there were only two people who supported the war.

Qin Haishou and Ghost Mandrill.

Wenren closed his eyes after a long absence.

Qin Haishou felt a lot more at ease.

It seems that His Majesty is looking for ideas again, and this matter should be solved.

After a while.

Wen Ren said excitedly after a long absence: "Recently, seven medium-sized spiritual veins have grown on Peach Blossom Fairy Island in Wandao Continent."

"There are so many spiritual herbs at Lingmingwu that the price has dropped. You can even buy spiritual herbs by trading gold and silver."

"General Manager Qian, you said we want to conquer this place, how should we allocate resources?"

Qian Tongxian's eyes suddenly brightened: "Of course, fill up the treasury first!"

"Elixirs for restoring spiritual power must be stored in excess of 4000 million pills! This is the bottom line!"

"We must stock up on the rest of the various elixirs, formation bases, and talismans! We must not let this situation happen again where the Jinshi Division cannot provide resources!"

Wen Ren agreed with all his strength and nodded vigorously: "Okay, I'll listen to you!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Yu Fan couldn't stand it anymore and coughed: "Old Qian, do you agree to be beaten?"

Qian Tongxian was stunned for a moment, and his expression became tangled again.

I was excited just now, thinking that I had all the resources, but it turned out that we still had to fight...

Wenren waved his hand after a long absence and said: "This matter is not urgent. You can go back and think about it yourself."

"Please also think about it, how many powerful evil cultivators will appear when we fight ten years later."

……

Several people in charge of power left the imperial city in the dark, each with their own concerns.

Ji Qiu was sitting in the courtyard drinking tea. After waiting for a while, he saw Wen Chunfeng coming through the space.

He took the initiative and asked, "How was the conversation?"

Wen Chunfeng picked up the teacup, leaned on the bamboo chair, and shook it comfortably: "It should work."

"I know Qian Tongxian very well. He is a hoarder. The treasury is empty. It would be more uncomfortable than killing him."

"If this battle can be won, the deficit in the national treasury will soon be made up."

"But it has to be you. Those words make me think, but I can't think of them."

Ji Qiu smiled humbly: "Senior, you are overly praised."

"Now it's time to think about who should lead the team to fight."

Wen Chunfeng glanced at Ji Qiu.

Ji Qiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "It can't be me again, right?"

Wen Chunfeng waved his hand: "The front line is very dangerous and we cannot let you go."

"I asked Your Majesty to divine twenty hexagrams for you, and the results are all very bad. Your kid has been targeted by the Mahayana evil cultivator."

Ji Qiu smiled bitterly, but there was no surprise on his face.

He has done so many things, so the evil cultivators should use their brains to target him.

The hostility of Mahayana monks...

Ji Qiu's fingers touched the storage bag.

It is still necessary to eat the Dao fruit quickly and break through as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Ji Qiu retracted his thoughts and asked about the business: "Then who is suitable?"

Wen Chunfeng sighed: "I... His Majesty and I are also struggling."

"Princess Hai Ling, what do you think?"

Did she apply to go to the front line again?

Ji Qiu was a little surprised, but with a calm face, he said: "Princess Hailing has performed well on the Western Front, so she is considered a suitable candidate."

Wen Chunfeng whispered: "Princess Hailing...has fallen in love with a man whose identity your Majesty does not know."

"If she leads a team to attack Wandao Continent and wins, then Your Majesty... I'm afraid she will have to agree to let her get married on her own."

Ji Qiu asked: "Your Majesty is unwilling?"

Wen Chunfeng was a little excited: "Of course not!"

"Who knows where that kid came from? And... forget it, what do you think?"

He originally wanted to complain angrily that that brat actually had close contact with Shuya.

But after thinking about it, he didn't say anything.

My little daughter has grown up, so it’s better not to talk about this kind of thing outside.

Ji Qiu probably guessed what Wen Chunfeng wanted to say but didn't say it.

Simultaneously.

He also guessed Wen Chunfeng's true identity.

His Majesty would probably not talk to his ministers about such private matters.

And this kind of probing is extremely impolite.

Wenren Shuya was discovered by Qin Zhi that she had lost her Yuan Yin.

I'm afraid very few people know about this kind of thing.

Combined with Wen Chunfeng's various previous performances, Wen Chunfeng's true identity is about to come out.

Emperor Daling...

Ji Qiu took a deep look at Wen Chunfeng and said, "This matter is His Majesty's family matter, and it is up to Your Majesty to decide."

"But there is a saying among the people that a child cannot grow up by his father, and a daughter cannot grow up under her mother."

Wen Chunfeng repeated this sentence and sighed: "Your Majesty also understands the truth, otherwise he would not let Princess Hailing go to the Western Front."

"Who knew Princess Hai Ling was so good? If we fight again, I'm afraid she will get married within three to five years."

"too fast……"

It turned out that he was reluctant to marry his daughter... Ji Qiu said with a smile: "Senior, you can advise your Majesty to relax."

"Great Lingchao is not a big one. If His Majesty is reluctant to part with his daughter, he can see him anytime he wants."

"Until something comes out, it's hard to say whether it's a good thing or a bad thing."

There will be many opportunities for us to meet in the future, so you don’t have to be so reluctant.

Wen Chunfeng patted Ji Qiu's shoulder: "You still make people feel comfortable when you talk." I hope you can say this when you know that I am thinking about your two daughters... Ji Qiu smiled and said nothing, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

Wen Chunfeng drank the tea in the cup.

Ji Qiu quickly refilled his glass.

While holding the tea cup, Wen Chunfeng said: "Actually, there is another choice."

"Who?"

"Princess Red Sleeves, her fighting ability is also good, but her temper is a little reserved. She should go and experience it."

"If she goes, you can change your identity and follow her."

Wen Chunfeng winked at Ji Qiu, still thinking about letting Ji Qiu get in touch with Wenren Hongxiu more.

The eldest daughter is okay. Although there are signs of being abducted, she still has some thoughts.

Maybe Ji Qiu can come forward and cut off Wenren's red sleeves.

Ji Qiu stared at a piece of floating tea, thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Princess Red Sleeves is also good."

When he learned that Wen Chunfeng was most likely to be the incarnation of His Majesty, Ji Qiu found that the hint of His Majesty had a different value.

A powerful official suggested that Ji Qiu should contact the princess, but Ji Qiu didn't want to listen.

This is none of your business.

However, it would be different if the person who persuaded Ji Qiu became the Great Ling Emperor!

And Emperor Daling didn't know Ji Qiu, the bastard he wanted to cut ten swords.

When the matter comes to light, Ji Qiu can completely throw away the blame. "Your Majesty, it was you who put me in contact with Princess Hongxiu. Do you still remember?"

Wen Chunfeng looked at Ji Qiu with some confusion: "Why did your tone suddenly change?"

"After a few days of contact, do you think Princess Red Sleeves is very good?"

Ji Qiu said with a serious face: "Princess Hongxiu is strong enough. If she wants to, she can lead troops to fight."

"As for other things, I still have nothing to think about for the time being."

Deny it first, then slowly change your attitude.

Give His Majesty some buffering time.

Wen Chunfeng was a little disappointed, but still nodded: "You're right. When talking about business, you should only consider the pros and cons of business."

"The other candidates are the new generation scions of various chaebols."

"His Majesty is considering whether to let them come and take the opportunity to weaken the power of the clan."

Ji Qiu thought for a moment and expressed his objection: "It's not good."

Wen Chunfeng asked: "Why?"

Ji Qiu put down the teacup and said seriously: "If you want to get rid of the gatekeepers, you have to create an environment that makes the gatekeepers feel at ease, so as to catch them off guard."

"Be born in sorrow and die in happiness, this is the truth."

Wen Chunfeng's eyes lit up and he praised, "This sentence is a bit interesting."

"Okay, you can rest, I'm going to practice for a while."

He must seize the time to write down this sentence so that he can show off during the meeting tomorrow.

By the way, you have to add a little bit of your own understanding.

That kid Qin Haishou always had mistrust in his eyes.

Ji Qiu stood up and sent Wen Chunfeng off respectfully, with a flash of surprise in his eyes.

He had just controlled it well, but after guessing that Wen Chunfeng was Emperor Daling, he was still very surprised.

It took him a few breaths to calm down and think about the current situation.

The old father-in-law has one more opportunity to solve the problem.

Next, we should meet Wenren Shuya.

If the time is right, should she meet Hong Xiu?
As for Zhou Yusha, when will she be arranged?

Ji Qiu is a little bald.

After thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of a good way.

We can only take one step at a time.

Consider first the question of warfare.

Ji Qiu turned his hands over and took out some files.

This is all the information brought back by the businessmen. There are about 4000 pieces of information, most of which are about Peach Blossom Fairy Island and Lingmingwu.

Ji Qiu compared it carefully, and through deduction and analysis, gradually confirmed some information with relatively high credibility.

Peach Blossom Fairy Island is a large island surrounded by more than [-] small islands.

It is basically certain that the evil cultivators who invaded the Great Ling Dynasty all set out here to go to Haizhou.

The defensive array of Peach Blossom Fairy Island was strengthened more than 40 years ago.

Now the large formation for protecting the island of Peach Blossom Fairy Island is composed of dozens of small formations, a super large composite formation including more than 40 small islands.

There are many monks on Peach Blossom Fairy Island, but Ji Qiu cannot determine the specific number.

Of the more than 4000 confessions, more than 1000 involved the total number of evil cultivators, and not a single number was repeated.

Ji Qiu could only make a rough inference.

There are no less than 6 evil cultivators on Peach Blossom Fairy Island.

This is just a big island.

There are a total of 140 large islands of this size in Wandaozhou.

Looking at the summarized data, Ji Qiu squinted his eyes, carefully deduced the calculations, and finally wrote a number.

20 million.

To successfully conquer the Peach Blossom Fairy Island, the number of monks mobilized must be at least 20.

And at the very least, they must be strong men above the Golden Core stage.

Only when you reach Jindan, and something unexpected happens while crossing the sea, is it possible to fly long distances with a flying sword.

Once something happens to the flying boat that the foundation-building monks are riding in, they basically have to wait for death.

In addition to sufficient numbers of people, elixirs must also be adequately prepared.

The alchemist must bring at least [-] people to supplement the elixir with local materials.

After Ji Qiu finished the calculations, he felt that if His Majesty was determined to fight, he would be able to gather enough manpower and resources to form a group within a year.

But Dao Alliance is always a problem.

Before setting off, we must first deal with the Dao Alliance.

We need to talk to the Qingfeng Sect as soon as possible.

……

Early the next morning, Wen Chunfeng appeared in front of the family master and came to Ji Qiu refreshed.

"Qian Tongxian agreed to fight, but asked His Majesty to carefully calculate how many people are needed."

"Really petty."

After Wen Chunfeng finished his rant, Ji Qiu took out the report he had prepared yesterday.

"Senior, please take a look."

After reading it, Wen Chunfeng was overjoyed: "You are still reliable! I will hand this thing to Your Majesty and ask him to meet Qian Tongxian again!"

"Senior, wait a minute." Ji Qiu stopped Wen Chunfeng and said, "Senior, please take the opportunity to talk to Your Majesty about wooing the Qingfeng Sect."

"In this battle, it would be best if the three traditional sects also send people to support us, and tie the imperial court and the Taoist Alliance on the same boat to prevent the other side from sneak attacks."

Wen Chunfeng touched his chin and said with some worry: "The previous few communications were not very smooth."

"You also know that the monks of the Dao League are arrogant, and the monks of our court are even more proud."

Ji Qiu asked: "Can we negotiate the terms directly?"

Wen Chunfeng nodded: "This is a way. I would like to suggest that your Majesty send more people to try it."

"I'm leaving."

"Senior, be slow."

"What else?"

"Can you ask senior to bring these materials for me?"

Ji Qiu took out another piece of paper.

There are 72 kinds of weapon refining materials recorded on it.

After reading it, Wen Chunfeng asked in shock: "Are you going to refine a heavenly magic weapon?!"
