“Poverty and wealth are actually relative concepts? "The curse of the Fallen Sect is also based on the same criteria?" Mingyue was slightly stunned and a little surprised, and was carefully pondering these words. There is a sense of relief. Although, there isn't much of that feeling. "Then what?" Mingyuexin felt a little guilty and asked Xu Gu in a daze, "What should we do?" Xu Gu's mouth twitched. He was sure that this brainless, big-breasted woman in front of him had never thought about solving the problem of the Yin-Yang Sect's curse. They don't even understand such basic issues. Being looked at like this by Xu Gu, Ming Yuexin felt more and more guilty, her pretty face blushed, she tightened the hem of her skirt with her delicate hands, not daring to look Xu Gu in the eye.
She actually felt very aggrieved. It’s not that she doesn’t want to find a way to solve the Yin-Yang Sect’s curse, but that she doesn’t have the energy to do so. Because, just keeping the Yin Yang Sect alive has exhausted all his strength. How can he have the energy to find a way to resolve the Yin Yang Sect's curse? Xu Gu obviously knew this, and did not blame Ming Yuexin. He just smiled and said: “In this case, we just need to make all the forces in the area where the Yin Yang Sect is located become wealthy. "Then, even if the Yin Yang Sect becomes a little richer, as long as it does not exceed the surrounding forces, it will still be outshined by poverty and will not trigger the curse of destitution." He had investigated the Yin Yang Sect before and knew that this set of operations would work. The curse of the Wu Gu tribe is not very intelligent. The judging criteria are very simple. They will only limit an area, which is roughly the scope of a state of Da Shang. Then, a ranking will be made based on the per capita wealth of disciples of the same realm from various forces within this scope. As long as the average wealth of people in the same realm of the Yin-Yang Sect is in the bottom range, it will not be triggered. The per capita wealth of people in the same realm is a concept conceived by Xu Gu. Simply put, each realm is a group, and the per capita wealth of this group is calculated separately. Of course, if we use a concept that is acceptable to everyone in this world, it is called "fortune". Everyone has a corresponding fortune. The fortune of each realm is calculated by taking the lowest and highest fortune of the monks in the area, which are recorded as 1 and 9 respectively. Then the difference between these two parts of fortune is divided equally into levels 1 to 9. If it is lower than 3, it means bad fortune, and higher than 6, it means good fortune. As long as the Yin Yang Sect's disciples' fortune is higher than level 3, they will suffer the backlash of the curse of desolation and lose their wealth. After saying this, Xu Gu was afraid that Ming Yuexin might not understand, so he very considerately told Ming Yuexin the working principle of the Doom Curse summarized above. "hiss!" After hearing this, Mingyuexin suddenly looked up, feeling extremely excited and excited, her eyes full of heat, shock and disbelief. She never dreamed that she could resolve the Yin Yang Sect's curse in this way. Especially the concept of "fortune" that Xu Gu talked about! It also gave her a very clear understanding of the curse that had plagued the Yin Yang Sect for tens of thousands of years. This concept is simply amazing.
She looked at Xu Gu with great love and admiration. As expected, he is my Xu Lang, he is indeed extremely wise! The problem that had troubled the Yin Yang Sect for tens of thousands of years was easily solved! Seeing this, Xu Gu rolled his eyes. Why are you reacting so strongly? Could it be that your Yin Yang Sect has never seriously studied the characteristics of the Fall Curse in the past tens of thousands of years? You deserve to be poor your whole life. As if seeing through Xu Gu's thoughts, Mingyuexin chuckled and felt a little embarrassed. However, she then hesitated and said: "But, making the area where the Yin Yang Sect is located prosperous, isn't that very difficult?" "It is indeed huge." Xu Gu spread his hands and said, "However, it should be far from making the Yin Yang Sect rich. It is difficult." "This... seems to be true." Mingyuexin's pretty face flushed. She grabbed the hem of her skirt, feeling more and more guilty and completely unable to refute. Because, this is indeed true. Then, she was extremely expectant and said anxiously, "Then Xu Lang, do you have a way to make Daoqizhou, where the Yin Yang Sect is located, rich? And, much richer." As she said this, she felt unsure. Because, in her opinion, this is too difficult. Daoqizhou has a vast territory, with tens of millions of monks and thousands of large and small forces. Wanting to make Daoqizhou rich, and at least several times richer, is completely wishful thinking. Xu Gu did not deny it, but said calmly: "Of course, this is not a difficult thing." "what?" Hearing this, Mingyuexin was stunned again. She was extremely excited, her breathing became rapid and she was extremely out of control. She never thought that Xu Lang actually had a way. Isn't this incredible? Even if an immortal were to come, he would not dare to double or triple the wealth of a state in a short period of time. "Of course, it's hard to be truly wealthy." Xu Gu said with a smile, "But it's easy to pretend to be wealthy." "How do you pretend to be rich?" Mingyuexin asked with great concern. Xu Gu said: "Daoqizhou has a superior geographical location. It is basically located in the middle of the southern part of Dashang, and is connected to the Dadu River. “So, we can establish a cargo transit system directly in Daoqizhou.” "Cargo transit system?" Mingyuexin frowned, not quite understanding. The Yin Yang Sect had always been receiving subsistence allowances and had not run any business at all, which resulted in her, as the sect leader, not knowing much about business matters. Not to mention, what Xu Gu said was a completely unfamiliar word to the world of immortal cultivation.
It's normal that she doesn't understand. Xu Gu was not surprised and explained with a smile: "How do we send the goods from Sect A to Place B, Place C, Place D, etc?" "Of course they will be sent one by one. From A to B, from A to C, from A to D." Mingyue thought to herself. "But wouldn't that mean we have to take a lot of routes?" Xu Gu asked back. "Isn't it always like this?" Mingyuexin said a little unconfidently. Xu Gu said: "This is undoubtedly very troublesome. You can choose a place with developed transportation, such as Daoqizhou, and transport your goods to Daoqizhou in a unified and centralized manner. "Then, the supplies will be concentrated from the prefecture to the various places." From A to B, A to C, A to D, etc., it becomes from A to B, and then from B to C, D, E, etc. "In this way, all goods can be escorted together over a certain distance, saving a lot of distance and reducing the maintenance of other routes and the risks in transporting goods." Mingyuexin blinked her eyes and thought it made a lot of sense. Delivering goods in this way was obviously more convenient and saved time and effort. Xu Gu added: “Moreover, we can build many warehouses in Daoqizhou to store these goods. "This way, if a force wants the goods, you don't need to escort the goods from your own forces and send them to the other party. You can directly transfer the goods stored in Daoqizhou warehouse in advance and send them to the other party. "In this way, won't the delivery time be reduced by at least half? Wouldn't the recipient be happy if they have to wait less than half the time?" "Yes!" Mingyuexin's eyes were burning with admiration and she agreed with him more and more. Xu Gu added: "Besides, escorting goods is a very tiring job. If the monks escorting the goods are tired, can they rest in Daoqizhou?" "Of course!" Mingyuexin agreed. Xu Gu said, "Tell me, if I make such a good suggestion to the court, will the court adopt it? Will the righteous path adopt it?" "Of course they will! They certainly won't refuse such an obvious good thing." Mingyuexin said quickly. "Once they agree, Daoqizhou will really become a freight transit state. Then do you think Daoqizhou will become prosperous quickly?" Xu Gu asked back. "Will it?" Mingyuexin hesitated, a little puzzled, "This suggestion saves a lot of time, manpower, and material resources for all parties, and saves a lot of money. But, what does it have to do with us, Daoqizhou?" Xu Gu was not impatient, but said: "You have to know that if there is a piece of fat meat in front of you, even if you don't share it, just pass your hands through it, your hands will be full of oil. “If these goods were all transported through the state. "Do you think they have to pay for building or renting warehouses? Do the people escorting the goods have to pay for rest and accommodation? Do they have to pay for docking at the pier? “You can even collect tolls directly. "It won't be long before Daoqizhou will become wealthy and many times more prosperous than before." "It seems so." After hearing this, Ming Yuexin's eyes curved with smiles, and she couldn't help but imagine what the Yin Yang Sect would be like when it became wealthy. The Yin Yang Sect finally no longer has to be poor. Sure enough, it was the right thing to leave this problem to Xu Gu to solve! The curse of doom that has plagued the Yin Yang Sect for tens of thousands of years is no longer effective!
Seeing this, Xu Gu shook his head slightly and said, "This is nothing. Your Yin Yang Sect is a super-class force after all. Even if it is several times richer than it is now, compared to other super-class forces, it is still poor. What is there to be happy about?" "Hehe." Ming Yuexin just giggled foolishly, and laughed so hard that she fell back and forth. The huge waves on her chest rose and fell with it, which was quite spectacular. Her requirements are not high, just being able to pass on the Yin-Yang Sect is enough. However, she was not stupid, and she realized the hidden meaning of Xu Gu's words. She said with a little expectation and excitement: "Xu Lang, do you have any other way to make Daoqizhou richer as a whole?" Xu Gu said: "This brings us to the topic of false wealth. “As a transit state, it is normal for Daoqizhou to collect tolls, but the tolls must not be too high, otherwise no one will be willing to use it. “But if we set the toll very high, it would allow every faction to build a branch in Daoqi State. "They collect tolls from their own forces, or they find a way to collect tolls from their own forces in disguised form. "Then do you think these forces will agree?" Mingyue thought, "They will definitely agree. They won't lose anything, and they can help our Yin Yang Sect." It is the mission of the entire righteous path and the imperial court to support the Yin-Yang Sect as much as possible. Otherwise, the Yin Yang Sect would not have survived for tens of thousands of years until now relying on the minimum living allowance regularly issued by the imperial court and the righteous path. Because the strategic significance of the Yin Yang Sect is very important and cannot be lost. Then predict the destiny! If the Yin-Yang Sect had not predicted the fortunes of the Shang Dynasty, allowing the Shang Dynasty to respond early when faced with various disasters or catastrophes, it would never have been as prosperous as it is today. Therefore, it is only natural to give the Yin Yang Sect some policy benefits. "In this case, will the wealth of all forces be concentrated in Daoqizhou?" Xu Gu said with a smile. "Yes." Ming Yuexin finally understood and said, "They pay high tolls and need to bring the money here, and I collect high tolls and have to temporarily save the money. "They will also establish subordinate forces in Daoqizhou and send people to garrison and operate them." Although, it seems that allowing these forces to collect high tolls from us in disguise is an additional meaningless step. But it did add a lot of practical business activities to Daoqizhou. This step will lead to many steps to create wealth. "We can have more designs like this." Xu Gu nodded slightly: "When Daoqizhou becomes more prosperous, I will propose to the court to establish a secondary capital in Daoqizhou." "Secondary capital?" Mingyuexin was stunned, feeling confused and hesitant. Xu Gu said: "It is the second capital. In the secondary capital, all facilities and functions are built according to the capital. Even the official system is based on the capital." "Could there be a second one in the capital?" Mingyuexin widened her eyes in surprise. "Of course." Xu Gu said: "Under normal circumstances, it is definitely not necessary. "But the situation is different now. It is necessary to have it." "Why?" Mingyuexin asked back. Xu Gu said: "What do you think is going on now? The Destiny of Heaven is raising the devil, and countless ancient devil forces and ancient forces are ready to make a move, trying to stir up chaos and overthrow the Great Shang Dynasty.
“In other words, if we are not careful, chaos is coming. "By then, if the capital falls, the accompanying city can immediately play the role of the capital and continue to maintain the rule of the Central Continent, and will not allow the turmoil to intensify." "Hiss." Mingyuexin stood up suddenly, shocked: "This proposal is too important and powerful! In this situation, we really need a secondary capital." Then, the look in her eyes when she looked at Xu Gu was filled with admiration and love that reached its peak. She always thought she had overestimated Xu Gu enough. But after sitting here and chatting for a while, I found that I had completely underestimated Xu Gu! So many amazing ideas! Each one has a huge impact and can change the world! Xu Gu smiled and said, "When Daoqizhou becomes the secondary capital, it will undoubtedly become more prosperous and wealthy. By then, the low-income households in Daoqizhou like your Yinyang Sect may be wealthier than the few wealthy forces in some of the poorer states." "In this way, the curse of doom that has troubled our Yin Yang Sect for tens of thousands of years can be completely solved!" Mingyue jumped for joy, extremely excited and delighted. She was so overwhelmed that she couldn't help but throw herself into Xu Gu's arms, hesitated for a moment, and then passionately asked for a kiss. At the same time, tears couldn't help but flow from the corners of my eyes. These were tears of joy. She had never thought that the Yin-Yang Sect's curse could really be resolved one day. Xu Gu felt the sweetness in front of him, and after savoring it for a while, he smiled and said, "This is not a complete solution, it can only be regarded as a temporary solution. If we really want to solve it, we still have to find the Wu Gu tribe." (End of this chapter)
