Chat group: Living in a fantasy world, investing in countless realms

Chapter 282 The Measuring Ruler Appears, Untouched by Cause and Effect (5/7, Please Subscribe)

The world of The Sword Stained with Royal Blood.

Yuan Chengzhi carried the Golden Snake Sword on his back, head held high, feeling quite smug.

After years of training, he finally mastered martial arts and could finally seek justice for his father.

"Tonight I will enter the palace and demand that the emperor ask why he killed my father!"

Yuan Chengzhi's eyes were resolute, and his expression turned dangerous. "The hatred for killing my father is irreconcilable. Even if I bear the infamy of regicide, I will never turn back."

Since descending the mountain, Yuan Chengzhi had witnessed far too many instances of gentry oppressing the common people.

He has absolutely no goodwill towards the current emperor.

Just as I was thinking this, I felt my sleeve being tugged.

"Young Master Yuan, look at the sky!"

Yuan Chengzhi turned around and saw He Tieshou looking up at the sky with a look of horror. He couldn't help but look in the direction of the sound.

Above, countless soldiers stood densely packed, each clad in armor and wielding a long, gleaming spear, like celestial warriors descending from mythology.

“This…” Yuan Chengzhi was stunned.

Why are all the legendary heavenly soldiers and generals appearing when I'm living in an ordinary world?

This is impossible.

However, the reality before him was shattering his worldview, which he had formed over more than a decade.

"I am Zhu Biao, the eldest son of the founding emperor. I have been ordered by the Supreme Lord of the Primordial Chaos to descend with heavenly troops to restore order to the Ming Dynasty. The people who are causing trouble are only due to the coercion of the gentry and the influence of the weather. Their crimes will not be investigated."

"Zhu Biao, the eldest son of Emperor Taizu?"

"The Primordial Chaos Supreme Mystery Dao Lord?"

Yuan Chengzhi felt a chill run down his spine. "Could it be that the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty has already become an immortal? Seeing the world in chaos, he requested the Daoist Emperor to send heavenly troops down to the mortal realm."

"Young Master Yuan, what should we do?" He Tieshou asked with difficulty, pulling his gaze away.

Yuan Chengzhi let out a long sigh and said, "Let's hold back for now and see what happens."

Just then, the soldiers in the sky dispersed and went in different directions.

In an instant, only one hundred soldiers remained in the skies above the capital.

These people landed directly on the city wall and began to guard it.

Zhu Di and Zhu Biao also landed on the city wall and frowned as they looked at the original guards.

"How could soldiers like these possibly defend a city?"

"I never imagined that the garrison system had become so corrupt by the end of the Ming Dynasty," Zhu Biao sighed. "Fourth Prince, issue an order to abolish the garrison system and select new soldiers."

Zhu Di nodded: "Given the current situation, this is the only option. Alas..."

Leading a few soldiers of godlike caliber, Zhu Di took over the capital's military camp and began to implement reforms in earnest.

"Have you heard? The heavenly soldiers have descended. Emperor Chengzu himself came down to earth and changed the military system. Now, soldiers can receive two taels of silver a month, which is personally distributed by a heavenly soldier."

"You're underestimating us. Besides silver, soldiers also get a hundred catties of white rice every month! That used to be something only men could afford."

"really?"

"Of course it's true! Heavenly soldiers don't need any earthly silver, and they don't skimp on anything. Heaven has finally opened its eyes! I'm going to join the army now. If I get selected, I'll be set for life."

"Aren't you afraid of dying?"

"Hilarious! With heavenly soldiers around, do we even need to fight?"

"Besides, as long as the money is right, I'll sell these few pounds around my neck to the royal family."

"Brother, please wait for me, I'll come with you!"

"With your skinny arms and legs, you want to join the army?"

"Just to make up the numbers. If I get selected, my family won't have to worry about food and clothing."

Two taels of silver and a hundred catties of white rice are definitely enough to feed a family of five or six.

It can be said that Zhu Di offered a very high price.

If one person joins the army, the whole family will not go hungry.

The day.

The capital's military camp was packed.

Although this is the capital, most people here are still poor, and there are many who want to make a living.

In the live broadcast room.

Su Xiaoxiao: "Goodness, these people are really enthusiastic. It seems that it's not that Ming soldiers can't fight, but that soldiers who haven't received enough pay can't fight 々｀ ."

Ying Zheng: "That's normal. Fighting is a high-risk job for soldiers, and they don't even get paid. They wouldn't play like that!"

Li Shimin: "Zhu Di's abolition of the garrison system was correct. With the chat group, we can maintain a 100,000-strong superhuman army, which is enough to suppress the world. The old system should be abandoned."

Zhu Yuanzhang: "The original intention of the garrison system was to give soldiers their own land, but it has developed into this way in the later stages, which is really beyond our expectations."

Zhang Taixuan: "It's inevitable. Systems are maintained by people. Once people's hearts change, the systems will change too."

Zhang Taixuan: "Fortunately, everyone is now immortal and has great supernatural powers, so they can monitor the world themselves and avoid many problems."

As they discussed, the group switched the live stream to another location.

It must be said that the live stream in the chat group is quite advanced. During the live stream, you can not only see the capital where Zhu Youjian is located, but also the regions where other heavenly soldiers are located.

Jin land.

The eight imperial merchants were arrested by the imperial soldiers and ordinary soldiers, and tens of millions of taels of silver were confiscated.

Huashan.

The Divine Sword Immortal Ape Mu Renqing stared blankly at the sky, rubbed his eyes, and confirmed that what he was seeing was not fake.

"There really are gods!"

The rebel army's tent.

As the heavenly army descended, an imperial edict was issued, and all the people immediately threw down their weapons and surrendered.

They followed the rebel leader in battle, wasn't it all for a bite to eat?

Now that the Heavenly Army is directly distributing food, and with the promise that the imperial court will later distribute land, who would still follow the rebel king?

People in this era are still very superstitious about gods and immortals.

Especially those white rice grains that appear with a wave of a god's hand—that's absolutely undeniable.

Jiangnan.

According to historical records, the heavenly soldiers searched the area one by one and quickly arrested all the guilty noble families. Their land and property were confiscated and distributed to the people.

The gentry cried out in despair, while the common people sang and danced, praising the emperor and the Daoist ruler's benevolence. For a time, these places were just like celebrating the New Year.

At the foot of Mount Hua.

Mu Renqing arrived in a hurry and saw a soldier in armor stick out his spear and poke it. Then, a well several meters in diameter appeared on the ground.

Ordinary people can't reach underground springs, but for terrestrial deities, this is not a problem.

"May I ask where you, immortals, come from?" Mu Renqing asked cautiously as he stepped forward.

The soldier glanced at him and said, "I come from the Immortal Qin World, here on the orders of the Dao Lord and the First Emperor. If you want to ask about cultivation, wait for your own court to notify you. I cannot teach you cultivation methods without authorization."

"We can cultivate too?" Mu Renqing's breathing became rapid.

Immortality, who wouldn't want that?

Especially since he is getting old, he is no longer as carefree as he was when facing death.

"As long as the imperial court allows it, of course it is possible," the soldier explained. Led by a group of villagers, they arrived at another village and began digging a well.

“Immortal, this well water may only provide temporary relief,” Mu Renqing said worriedly. “If the drought continues, it will dry up very soon.”

The soldier was speechless: "You're quite nosy. Since the Dao Lord has issued the decree, he must have already made preparations. He has already sent Crown Prince Zhu Biao with the Cloud and Rain Mandate to bring rain. Now, all that's left is for the people to plant their seeds, and then the rain will fall. At that time, not only will the water problem be solved, but the food problem will also be solved."

"The rain that Daojun commanded to fall was not ordinary rain, but spiritual rain."

"When the time comes, the grain will ripen in a single day, and you will all be able to enjoy the good life."

"Thank you very much, Daoist Lord!"

"May the Daoist Lord have mercy!"

The people were overjoyed upon hearing this, and many prostrated themselves on the ground, bowing and kowtowing three times and nine times.

"You seem to know the immortals like the back of your hand. Could it be that your homeland received the Dao Lord's grace long ago?" Mu Renqing asked.

The soldier said proudly, "That's only natural. The ancient land of Xianqin has already received the Dao Lord's blessings several years ago, with an endless supply of food and meat. Now, the weather is favorable, and no one is starving anymore."

"With favorable weather and abundant harvests, no one has starved to death!"

Upon hearing this, the people all wept.

They've been suffering from drought here for many years. People have resorted to cannibalism, eating clay and tree bark, and countless people have starved to death.
