Obtain the divine power at the beginning

But after hearing Xu Huan's analysis, Liu Cong, Zhu Xiang, Ma Dehui and others were shocked, and all asked in trembling voices: "My Lord, what should we do?" Shi Tianyu smiled calmly and said: "Everyone, don't worry, I have a clever plan to deal with Cheng Ji Chong's evil plan. The strategy of this clever plan of mine is actually very simple, that is, the wool comes from the sheep!"

Everyone was stunned, unable to understand or comprehend for a moment.

Because in the minds of Liu Cong, Zhu Xiang, Ma Dehui and others, Shi Tianyu has been a god-like existence for many years.

God's strategy is truly incomprehensible to mortals.

~

Shi Tianyu looked at the confused eyes of the crowd and smiled again, "Wait a minute, draft a memorial to His Majesty immediately, saying that before I set out to conquer Liaodong, I sympathized with the people and inspected Huguang on His Majesty's behalf.

From this, I also discovered that people in the Huguang area are living in poverty.

Especially last winter, many people were affected by the heavy snow.

To this end, I hereby request the court to allocate one hundred thousand taels of silver and one hundred thousand shi of grain to support the Huguang Provincial Administration Office in order to solve people's livelihood issues and appease the people's emotions. This money will be directly allocated to the Huguang Provincial Administration Office and will be used exclusively by the Huguang Provincial Administration Office.

In this way, we have done a favor, and as for whether the court will allocate funds or not, that is the court's responsibility.

The day after tomorrow morning, Cheng Jichong will leave Jingzhou. I will hold a thank-you banquet tomorrow night to entertain Cheng Jichong and his accompanying officials.

At that time, I will let Xu Huan read this memorial in public, and then Xu Huan will send the memorial to the capital and hand it over to the Ministry of Revenue.

Xu Huan can look for our classmates at the Imperial College and ask for help.

In this way, it shouldn’t be difficult to send the memorial to the Ministry of Revenue.”

~

"Hahahaha!"

"Good! That's great!"

"What a brilliant plan! Your Majesty, this is truly a brilliant plan!"

Liu Cong, Zhu Xiang, Xu Huan, Ma Dehui and others found it very interesting and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

They all raised their fingers and praised Shi Tianyu for being a master of military strategy. Only then did they leave Shi Tianyu's room with peace of mind.

Shi Tianyu also asked the guards outside the door to call Song Ziqing and ask him about the posters posted everywhere for the singing and dancing performances of ladies such as Chen Yuanyuan, Lu Ming, Yaoyao, etc., as well as about mobilizing the Shang people in Jingzhou city to come and watch and collect donations.

~

Song Ziqing said that he had led people to post posters of Chen Yuanyuan, Lu Ming, Yaoyao and other ladies performing songs and dances all over the streets and alleys.

However, Song Ziqing also expressed his worry that not many people came to see the posters.

It is estimated that the performances of Chen Yuanyuan, Lu Ming, Yaoyao and other ladies in Jingzhou had no effect.

Therefore, I hope that the prince can find another way to raise funds and grain.

~

Shi Tianyu explained with a smile that Chen Yuanyuan was very famous in Jiangnan, but she might not be famous in Jingzhou, the heart of the world.

However, the purpose of this action of mine is not to raise money or food, because I am not short of money or food.

This action of the king is to annihilate the martial artists who come to cause trouble. The king will kill until there are no more martial artists or rebels coming to cause trouble. Because in the future, the responsibility of pacifying the world will also fall on the shoulders of the king.

Therefore, I will use this opportunity to pretend to hold Chen Yuanyuan's singing and dancing performance to lure the rebels and some martial artists to Jingzhou to annihilate them. This will reduce the resistance to my suppression of the rebellion in the future and prevent some martial artists from running to Xiliang to cause trouble.

This is my true intention!
~

Song Ziqing was overjoyed when he heard this, and said excitedly: "Your Highness is worthy of being a master of military strategy. I understand. I will immediately go to the generals and heroes to explain it clearly." Shi Tianyu nodded with a smile.

Song Ziqing then said goodbye and left.

~

The lights were bright in front and behind the inn.

There is a faint scent of flowers floating in the night breeze.

The three hundred guards from King Kaoshan's palace who were brought from Xiliang, led by Lu Dedao, Jiang Huotian, Li Zhenhai, Lu Ming, Lu Liang and others, guarded the "Jingmen" Inn strictly.

Dudu and his seven concubines, Jin Liufu, Leshan, Gongsun Ren and others were stationed outside the city with their troops.

Shi Tianyu opened the window and looked outside the inn. Seeing nothing was happening, he closed the window.

Then, Shi Tianyu walked into the big garden of the system space.

Shi Tianyu told Kui Xinlong, Han Yuchang and Youyou that he had led his troops to Jingzhou and would soon host singing and dancing performances by Chen Yuanyuan, Lu Ming, Yaoyao, Meiyu and other beauties.

Then, Shi Tianyu asked Kui Xinlong, Han Yuchang, Youyou and others to go out and familiarize themselves with the environment of Jingzhou. Once there were rebel forces or people from the martial arts world coming to make trouble, Kui Xinlong, Han Yuchang and Youyou could lead their troops to attack quickly and encircle and annihilate the troublemakers.

~

Kui Xinlong, Han Yuchang, Youyou and others applauded.

They always think about fighting, but they are always so idle. They are really not used to it.

Now, after hearing Shi Tianyu's plan, they knew that a war was about to be fought, and they all became excited.

Therefore, Kui Xinlong, Han Yuchang and Youyou led three thousand soldiers and followed Shi Tianyu out of the system space and came to the "Jingmen" Inn.

Then, Shi Tianyu returned to the system space.

As for how to familiarize himself with the terrain, Kui Xinlong will consult Li Zhenhai.

After returning to the system space, Shi Tianyu first went to visit the ladies who were pregnant, including Baihe'er, Dezhu'er, Liu An'er, Cheng Honglian, Li Qi, Ma Yingchun, Yang Miaoyun, Li Gongchun, etc.

Afterwards, Shi Tianyu went to sleep with the three beauties, Situ Yan, Guo Lingyu and Xue Feihua, and comforted the three ladies in this way.

~

There were bursts of spring thunder and raindrops falling.

After a while, the rain gradually became heavier, making a "rustling" sound.

Gradually, splashes of water appeared on the ground, and ripples dispersed and gathered again.

The night wind blows, and the petals of the winter jasmine flowers fall with the wind.

There were many lanterns lit inside and outside the walls of the Liang Mansion.

Zhang Hai, Huang Chengcheng, Cheng Zhengfu, Ma Lingtao and his wife, and others all came to the Liang Mansion.

They were all brought from Jiangnan to Huguang by Pan Ruzhen, the governor of Jiangnan.

Even though they had disagreements in the past, they were now on the same side and had to unite.

Otherwise, they will be squeezed out by other local officials.

The open and covert struggles in official circles are the same no matter where you are.

Boom! There was a burst of thunder and lightning, and heavy rain fell from the sky.

The spring rain fell, dancing on the roof and the leaves in the backyard, making a "pa pa" sound, and also beating the hearts of the people in the Liang Mansion.

~

Liang Laixing said with foresight: "This time, Lord Shi came to Jingzhou to raise grain and funds, and we must cooperate with him.

Lord Shi was the one I recommended to study at the Imperial College. He grew very fast and he can be considered my disciple.

In just seven or eight years, Lord Shi grew from a student of the Imperial Academy to a king who supported the court and became the pillar of our Ming Dynasty.

Although Prince Shi had some conflicts with the current Emperor, he was once neglected by the Emperor.

However, in today's Ming Dynasty, there are internal and external troubles. Prince Shi is a man of both civil and military talents. He is a world-renowned master of military strategy, a famous general who fought against the Qing Dynasty, and a hero in suppressing rebellions. His Majesty still has to use Prince Shi.

Therefore, we must never blackmail Prince Shi like Cheng Jichong did.

What Cheng Jichong did as that old thief was extremely unkind and immoral.

There are gods above people's heads. People who do evil will be punished sooner or later.

Now, Lord Shi has just arrived in Jingzhou with his troops, and has not yet established a firm foothold, nor raised a penny, but has extorted a sum of money from Cheng Jichong. I really don't know how Lord Shi will deal with it, and I am really worried about him!
That Chen Yuanyuan is quite famous in our hometown, Jiangnan.

However, in Jingzhou, Chen Yuanyuan might not be able to raise money and food."

~

Cheng Zhengfu urgently stated, "Sir Liang, I have a plan that can help Lord Shi raise the first batch of money and food.

My plan is very simple, that is, we will donate a sum of money to Lord Shi in the name of rewarding his troops.

I will pay this amount personally.

When I was in Jiangnan, I had some savings because of my business.

Lord Shi serves the country and the people, and I, your humble servant, have always respected him.

Anyway, I am now receiving a salary from the court, and I have no worries about my life. Whether I have savings or not does not affect my life."

~

Zhang Hai couldn't help but slam his head and said excitedly, "Great! Master Cheng, you're great!"

I fully support Cheng Zhengfu's decision.

After all, his son-in-law Liu Sen was a general under Shi Tianyu.

Zhang Hai also knew in his heart that Cheng Zhengfu was an old wily man and would not donate money and food to Shi Tianyu's troops for no reason.

Cheng Zhengfu's move was nothing more than wanting to rely on Shi Tianyu to support Cheng Zhengfu.

Moreover, after receiving this donation, Shi Tianyu will definitely promote Cheng Zhengfu.

In the future, Shi Tianyu will also recommend Cheng Zhengfu to return to Jiangnan to serve as an official.

Because Shi Tianyu was famous for promoting his cronies in the officialdom in the past. This matter was known to everyone in the government and the public! How could Cheng Zhengfu not understand it?

~

Liang Laixing, Huang Chengcheng and others also nodded in agreement.

~

Seeing that these officials had no objection, Ma Lingtao decided to go to the "Jingmen" Inn overnight to tell Shi Tianyu the good news in order to please Shi Tianyu. So Ma Lingtao stood up and bowed and said, "Master Liang, it's late, we'll take our leave first."

Although she was forced by Shi Tianyu to remarry Cheng Zhengfu and the Youlong Gang was also wiped out by Shi Tianyu, Ma Lingtao was smarter than anyone else. After she came to Huguang, she did not run a brothel like "Baoer Shuang".

Anyway, my husband is an official, he lives a rich and powerful life.

Ma Lingtao didn't want to do anything in the Huguang area, didn't want to cause trouble, and didn't want to hold Cheng Zhengfu back.

On the contrary, the charming Ma Lingtao has been following her husband's lead since she remarried Cheng Zhengfu, and the couple has worked closely together to promote Cheng Zhengfu's promotion in officialdom.

Although Cheng Zhengfu is an old fox and a big liar, ever since he has been with Ma Lingtao, he has obeyed Ma Lingtao's words and made full use of the money and food that Ma Lingtao has accumulated for half his life to pave the way for him in officialdom.

Now, Ma Lingtao only hopes that after donating this money to Shi Tianyu, Cheng Zhengfu can get further support from Shi Tianyu.

Later, he begged Shi Tianyu to find an opportunity to transfer Cheng Zhengfu back to Jiangnan to serve as an official.

It’s easier to make money in Jiangnan!
Jiangnan is now the richest place in the Ming Dynasty. It has a dense population, open minds, and developed handicrafts.

Ma Lingtao's ideas and strategies are amazing.

~

So, everyone stood up and said goodbye.

~

Ma Lingtao and Cheng Zhengfu took hands and came to the "Jingmen" Inn to ask to see Shi Tianyu.

However, the couple was stopped by Li Zhenhai and a group of guards.

Ma Lingtao told Li Zhenhai about the reward they were going to give to the troops coming from Xiliang tomorrow.

Li Zhenhai excitedly stated that he would definitely report this good news to Prince Shi.

However, it is too late now, and Prince Shi must have rested. Please ask Lord Cheng and Madam to come back tomorrow.

With that, Cheng Zhengfu and Ma Lingtao bowed and said goodbye.

~

The sky after a spring rain is exceptionally blue.

The sky is clear and the white clouds are floating.

The dewdrops were crystal clear, and the flowers, plants and trees that had just sprouted new buds were all wet.

in system space.

In the early morning, Shi Tianyu, Xue Feihua, Situ Yan and Guo Lingyu woke up, took a bath together, and played in the water like mandarin ducks, looking very happy.

Afterwards, Shi Tianyu hugged the three beauties and flew to locker No. 3 by the Green Lake, where he had breakfast with ladies including Wang Jing, Zhu Lili, Tan Ruofeng, Mei Qiaoqian, etc.

Then, leaving Qiongying, Yan Xijiao, and Hu Sanniang to look after the house and take care of some of the newly born children, Shi Tianyu led dozens of ladies including Wang Jing, Mei Qiaoqian, Lu Ying, Hua Qianduo, and more than a hundred beautiful maids and servants and grooms, driving more than a thousand carriages out of the system space. Shi Tianyu also pulled down a box of gold ingots and two boxes of large silver ingots from the system space vault, and asked Wang Jing to lead the ladies and maids and servants to visit Jingzhou City and purchase various supplies.

Shi Tianyu took Chen Yuanyuan and several maids who served her back to the "Jingmen" Inn.

Li Zhenhai led Cheng Zhengfu, Ma Lingtao and the servants and guards of the Cheng Mansion, and escorted 100,000 taels of silver and 100,000 shi of grain donated by Cheng Zhengfu to pay a visit to Shi Tianyu.

~

Shi Tianyu was overjoyed and immediately expressed his support, promoting Cheng Zhengfu to the position of deputy commander of the guards in Prince Kaoshan's palace, with a sixth-rank title.

Later, when he went to Jiangnan to raise grain and funds, he recommended Cheng Zhengfu to return to Jiangnan to take up a post, and asked Xu Huan to draft an official document and send it to the Huguang Governor's Office. Cheng Zhengfu and his wife were immediately very excited and knelt down to thank Shi Tianyu.

~

Shi Tianyu also ordered Li Zhenhai and Kui Xinlong to accompany Cheng Zhengfu, Ma Lingtao and his wife out of the city to Dudu's military camp to reward the three armies.

Then, Tian Yingluo, Chen Lie, Tian Cailing, Tan Chuqing, Shi Yuyan, Qi Meizhen, Qi Juan, Lu Dede, Jiang Huotian and others were asked to protect Chen Yuanyuan, Lu Ming, Yaoyao, Huiyin and other beauties in the performance in the lobby on the first floor of "Jingmen" Inn.

~

Chen Yuanyuan is indeed not very famous outside of Jiangnan.

On this first day, there were definitely not many people coming to see Chen Yuanyuan's beauty and singing and dancing performances.

However, Liang Laixing, Zhang Hai and Huang Chengcheng led the officials of Jingzhou government to show their support, and donated 10,000 taels of silver and 30,000 shi of grain to Chen Yuanyuan and the Liaodong soldiers.

Because they were from Jiangnan, they liked Chen Yuanyuan's beauty and liked watching Chen Yuanyuan's singing and dancing performances.

Because Chen Yuanyuan was so beautiful.

Throughout the morning, Liang Laixing, Zhang Hai, Huang Chengcheng and others were clapping and cheering, their palms turned red from clapping.

Their throats were smoking from shouting.

~

The performances of Chen Yuanyuan, Lu Ming, Yaoyao and other beauties have ended, but Liang Laixing, Zhang Hai, Huang Chengcheng and others are still in a daze and are still sitting there without getting up, as if they are still waiting for the next performance.

Chen Yuanyuan, Luming, Meiyu, Yaoyao and other beauties are really working hard in these days when the weather is suddenly warm but still cold.

All of them were wearing thin clothes as thin as cicadas, but they ignored the cold weather and performed bravely and resolutely to raise food and funds for Shi Tianyu and the Liaodong soldiers.

~

Until Chen Yuanyuan, Luming, Yaoyao and other beauties bowed to Liang Laixing, Zhang Hai, Huang Chengcheng and others under the stage, thanking Mr. Liang and other gentlemen for coming to watch the song and dance performance. Chen Yuanyuan then said in a sweet voice that this morning's performance was over.

Only then did Liang Laixing, Zhang Hai, Huang Chengcheng and others come to their senses and reluctantly left the "Jingmen" Inn.

On the way back to the yamen, all the officials praised Chen Yuanyuan's beauty as unparalleled.

As the news spread, it immediately sparked heated discussions throughout the city.

More than a dozen wealthy businessmen came to the afternoon performance and donated 30,000 taels of silver and 100,000 shi of grain to Chen Yuanyuan and the Liaodong soldiers. This had an initial effect and began to cause a sensation.

~

That evening, Shi Tianyu hosted a grand banquet for Cheng Jichong and his accompanying officials in the lobby on the first floor of the "Jingmen" Inn, and asked Chen Yuanyuan, Lu Ming, Yaoyao and other beauties to perform songs and dances for Cheng Jichong and other officials, but the performance was only once.

Cheng Jichong and his accompanying officials all stared with their eyes wide open and drooling.

Countless pairs of eyes seemed to be bulging out.

After Chen Yuanyuan, Lu Ming, Yaoyao and other beauties left the stage, Cheng Jichong and his accompanying officials were still unable to recover for a long time.

~

Shi Tianyu then seized the opportunity and asked Xu Huan to go on stage to read the memorial written to the court.

Xu Huan did as ordered and said that Prince Shi had fulfilled his promise. He submitted this memorial to the court to apply for a grant of 100,000 taels of silver and 100,000 shi of grain as relief to support Huguang, support Lord Cheng in solving people's livelihood issues, and appease the people's emotions. It was a small gift, and Lord Cheng was asked to accept it.

"Pa, pa!" Suddenly, the whole audience cheered and applauded loudly.

When Cheng Jichong heard this, he became so angry that his face turned blue and fumes came out of his seven orifices.

However, Cheng Ji Chong could not say anything, knowing that he had fallen into a trap.

This move earned Shi Tianyu a good reputation as someone who cares about the country and the people, but Cheng still got nothing.

Hey! I really can't beat this bastard Shi Tianyu!
If there is any small gain, it is that I was lucky enough to see a performance by the beautiful Chen Yuanyuan.

~

After the dinner, Cheng Jichong led everyone away.

Although Cheng Jichong sighed, the officials accompanying him praised Chen Yuanyuan's beauty, saying that she was undoubtedly a fairy from heaven, and that her singing and dancing were wonderful and unmatched. This caused a sensation in the whole city.

On the morning and afternoon of the next day, there were two singing and dancing performances by Chen Yuanyuan, Lu Ming, Yaoyao and other beauties. More than a hundred merchants came to watch and donated 300,000 taels of silver and 300,000 shi of grain to Chen Yuanyuan and the Liaodong soldiers.

That night, when the heroes and some generals were having dinner with Chen Yuanyuan at the "Jingmen" Inn, suddenly several strange howls were heard from the sky.

The chief leader of the Black Evil Society in Jingzhou, You Bingmeng, and his deputy chiefs Su Qinghe, Hu Zhaoxuan, and Tan Xiongxiong, led a group of experts. After the disciples of the Black Evil Society found out about Chen Yuanyuan's beauty, they came to cause trouble. They wanted to kidnap Chen Yuanyuan and rob her of the 610,000 taels of silver and 400,000 shi of grain that she had received as a gift.

Jiang Huotian was holding the split iron rod, and when he heard the strange roar, he rushed out of the door of the "Jingmen" Inn first, raised his head and shouted angrily: "Who are you, you rat, trying to sneak attack me? Get out of here! Humph! Your grandfather Jiang has been waiting for you rats to come and die for several days."

"Swoosh!" As soon as Jiang Huotian finished speaking, three flying spikes were thrown from the air.

This cone was shot by Hu Zhaoxuan.

The cone tip is tempered with poison, it can kill blood instantly, it is extremely powerful!
At this time, Hu Zhaoxuan fired three cones into the air at the same time, and the cones actually separated in the middle, attacking Jiang Huotian from the upper, middle and lower directions.

Jiang Huotian was really caught off guard by this hidden weapon attack.

However, before Jiang Huotian could swing the split iron rod to block the hidden weapons, he heard a few continuous "ding-ding-dang-dang" sounds, and his three flying spikes were knocked back.

In the lobby on the first floor of the inn, someone flew out in the air, passed over Jiang Huotian's head, and threw a handful of sand towards Hu Zhaoxuan who was floating down. At the same time, a beautiful voice shouted angrily above Jiang Huotian's head: "It's rude not to return the favor! Humph! Dead evil thief, let you also taste the taste of my Mei Qiaoqian's deadly magic sand. Humph!"

Hu Zhaoxuan hurriedly sent out a palm strike to break up the deadly magic sand, and then leaped sideways a few steps to avoid Mei Qiaoqian's fatal blow.

Following Hu Zhaoxuan down from the sky were three other people.

One of them was a fat monk, one was a Taoist priest, and the other was a middle-aged scholar with three long wisps of beard under his cheeks.

The fat monk swung his iron staff and knocked down Hu Zhaoxuan's three flying spikes, shouting angrily, "Ma Lao Ba Zi, where are Mei Qiaoqian and that old immortal Mei Zhongqiu? Back then, you two thieves, the father and daughter, used Longquan Villa to collude with officials and bandits to kill so many people in the martial arts world? Humph, Mei Qiaoqian, you damn bitch, it's better for you to stay here, take this beating from me!"

It turned out that the person arrived as soon as the sound was made, and his feet had just touched the ground when he jumped up in an instant.

When he said the word "stick", the stick in his hand, as thick as a bowl, had already hit Mei Qiaoqian in the face.
