Dugu Bo was stunned for a moment. He looked at Qin Qi and saw his serious eyes. He swallowed hard.
"Are you really going to do this?"
Dugu Bo gritted his teeth and asked.
"Correct."
Qin Qi nodded.
"Alright, this old man will go crazy with you, but I have one condition: spare Xuexing and the others' lives."
“He saved my life back then, after all. I can’t watch him die.”
Dugu Bo made up his mind; he would stand with Qin Qi. He had chosen Qin Qi back then, and now there was no going back.
"can."
Qin Qi revealed a hearty smile and turned to look at the soldiers of the Spirit Hall.
"Now that you have surrendered, you will normally become prisoners of the Heavenly Dou Empire."
“You will be imprisoned, and your families will be treated as prisoners, but now I am giving you a chance.”
"Follow me, follow me to fight against the heavens, and I will surely lead you to victory."
"Then you will no longer be prisoners, and your families will no longer be prisoners. You will be the pioneers of a new era!"
Qin Qi spoke loudly, and the soldiers of the Spirit Hall were stunned by his words, as were the soldiers of the Heaven Dou Empire.
The titled Douluo from the major sects were also stunned; they didn't understand what had happened.
Chapter 208 The Dragon Soul of Destiny, the Fate of an Emperor!
"Young Master Qin Qi, what are you doing!"
"We have already won, why do you want to start another war!"
Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, and Ning Fengzhi rushed over, completely baffled by Qin Qi's thoughts.
"If it's for power, then with your strength and prestige, you would become the number one in the world even without starting a war!"
"What you are doing now is not only pointlessly increasing the number of deaths and injuries, but also tarnishing your own reputation."
Ning Fengzhi pushed up his glasses and began to offer his advice.
"Sect Leader Ning, from a businessman's perspective, your words are fine, but unfortunately I am not a businessman."
"I don't want power, I don't want fame, I want a new world!"
"A new world that fits my vision."
Qin Qi spoke up.
"A new world... what kind of new world do you want?"
Ning Fengzhi did not understand what Qin Qi wanted. In his mind, everyone in the world was driven by profit.
It's all just business and profit.
"I want to create a world where everyone can go to school, everyone can cultivate themselves, and everyone has a chance to succeed."
"I will make the Soul Master Academy a completely open institution for everyone on the continent."
"Whether you are rich or poor, you are entitled to go to school."
"I will continue the Soul Master bonus system and do my best to increase it."
"From now on, whether they are orphans, poor families, or destitute people, they will all be able to afford to eat."
"And most importantly, from now on there will never be any more cases of Soul Masters bullying the people."
Qin Qi spoke up.
"You want to become the second Spirit Hall!"
Ning Fengzhi understood Qin Qi's words. What Qin Qi wanted to do was create a second Spirit Hall and a second Spirit Empire!
"You could say that. To be honest, the Spirit Hall's organization is quite good."
"The leaders are mentally ill. They don't care about the people of the world; instead, they only care about worshipping some angel god."
"In my world, there will be no place for gods; only humanity matters!"
Qin Qi's impression of the Spirit Hall was neither good nor bad; the good impression came from Su Yuntao when he was a child.
Despite being a Soul Master, he showed no contempt or impatience towards the village children.
Even after learning that Qin Qi couldn't afford to eat, they gave him some money to buy food.
Su Yuntao was a low-level Soul Master in the Spirit Hall, and people like him were not uncommon in the various branch halls.
The bad impression is that the higher-ups in the Martial Soul Belt, those cardinals, are arrogant, domineering, and collude for personal gain, bullying the people.
"........."
Ning Fengzhi remained silent for a long time, pondering what he should do: continue to support the Heavenly Dou Empire in its war against Qin Qi.
Or should we abandon support for the Heaven Dou Empire and let Qin Qi do as he pleases, or...?
"Will your future empire have a place for our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"
Ning Fengzhi raised his head, staring intently into his eyes as he asked.
He didn't care who became emperor; he only cared whether his sect could continue and whether his family could be passed down.
"Of course there are. I am not a tyrant. I will break the blockade of the upper levels, but that does not mean I will eliminate all sects and families."
"In the future, my empire will not only have a place for you, but you will be very important."
"For an empire to prosper, the first step is to ensure that people have enough to eat; this is the most important thing."
"To accomplish this, it is not only necessary to develop agriculture, but also to control commerce and prevent merchants from making exorbitant profits."
"This leads to a situation where there are plenty of items available, but people can't afford to buy or use them."
"I don't think anyone is better at this than you."
Qin Qi had studied ancient learning with Tang Shiying and others for a period of time, including the ideas of the agricultural school.
The meaning of "emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce" is not to suppress merchants, but to ensure that the value of goods is commensurate with the labor input.
The craftsman originally sold the item for one, but the merchant should have sold it for a little over one.
However, some people monopolize the market and elevate it to the second, third, or fourth tier in order to reap huge profits, and these situations should be curbed.
It is not about suppressing or belittling the status of normal businessmen.
"The most important thing is to ensure that people have enough to eat. There are many goods available, but people cannot afford them. This truly hits the nail on the head regarding the current problems."
Ning Fengzhi nodded after hearing Qin Qi's words. As a top businessman, no one understood the current situation better than him.
Many things are not lacking, but they become extremely expensive because of the monopoly of merchants.
Many things that would make the empire better if supplied to the people were not desired by the emperor and nobles.
"I have one last question: how will you deal with the nobles?"
Ning Fengzhi asked his final question, at which point, whether in Xingluo or Tiandou, the nobility was a huge problem.
They are like a huge, festering mass of flesh; if they are not removed, they will continue to erode the empire, but removing them would require tearing out the flesh and bones.
"I'm already called the Demon King, do you think that's still a problem for me?"
Qin Qi smiled and spoke.
"Yes, you are not a wise ruler, you are a tyrant, a demon king."
Ning Fengzhi understood Qin Qi's meaning: others might be concerned about their reputation or the situation.
But Qin Qi would not do that. He only had one sentence for those people: those who obey me will prosper, and those who oppose me will perish!
If you honestly follow his rules, you'll live; if you don't, you'll die!
He has enough strength and courage to do this.
"Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is willing to support the new king."
Ning Fengzhi placed one hand on his chest, bowed his head, and paid his respects to Qin Qi. He had already foreseen the general trend of the world.
Qin Qi's unification of the world was an unstoppable trend; he could only adapt to the changing circumstances.
"Sect Leader Ning, you made the right choice."
"Soldiers of the Heavenly Dou Empire, will you choose to surrender and follow me, or will you choose to continue fighting?"
Qin Qi looked at the soldiers of the Heavenly Dou Empire, who were filled with confusion.
They were afraid of Qin Qi and had no desire to resist him.
They looked at Dugu Bo, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo, these former commanders of the First Army, and they didn't know what to do.
"Let's give it our all!"
The soldiers of the Heaven Dou Empire were unsure what to do, but some of the soldiers of the Spirit Hall had already taken action.
They gritted their teeth and picked up the weapons they had left on the ground.
"Brothers, rise up and fight!"
"Just as the Demon King said, if we surrender now, we will become prisoners, and our families will also become prisoners!"
"It's better to fight than to do that. If we can win, we will be the founders of a new era and a new empire!"
"But what if we lose?"
Some soldiers were shouting, trying to boost morale, and many were moved, but some still had reservations.
"I have never lost since I awakened my martial soul. I am invincible in every battle at the academy!"
"I am equally invincible in the Soul Arena, and I single-handedly defeated all enemies at the Advanced Soul Master Academy!"
"The same applies to this battlefield; I remain invincible, winning every battle and conquering every city!"
Qin Qi looked at the hesitant person, and his killing intent changed instantly, replaced by a fierce fighting spirit that was determined to win.
Under the shadow of this fighting spirit, the soldiers' morale gradually began to rise.
