Chapter 577: Princess Qingcheng

The Shouchun forest at dawn is hazy and beautiful, and several gorgeous and delicate carriages from the west walk slowly in the forest. The horses that pull the cart are all rouge horses. This is actually a kind of domesticated monster that is extremely precious, and its whole body is like a red emerald.

A charming maid sniffed the air tenderly: "This is the legendary Shouchun Kingdom? It's so beautiful! There seems to be a faint fragrance in the air.

Ah... princess princess, come and see, what a beautiful bird.

Wow, the sky seems to be covered with red gauze, so beautiful..."

At this time, the red sun rises in the east, and the morning sun dyes the forest fog in Shouchun Forest red. The breeze blows the forest fog and rolls, and the sky and the earth seem to flow like red clouds. The Shouchun Forest at dawn is like a fairyland, so beautiful.

The small carved door of a carriage in the middle opened, and an elegant, elegant, and slim figure walked slowly.

What kind of beauty is this? Words can no longer describe it. Her appearance may be as beautiful as the Dragon Princess, but she does not have the arrogance of the Dragon Princess, nor the aloofness, arrogance, indifference, and cruelty of ordinary practitioners.

Without the cold arrogance of rejecting others for thousands of miles, there is a little more elegance and beauty.

There seemed to be a faint scent of books on her body. This breath makes her more elegant and dignified. This is an invisible decoration, better than thousands of treasures.

She has no pearls and jade, no powder and daisy decorations, no gorgeous silks and satins, and no pretentious coquettishness.

The movements are very natural and generous, and the clothes are very simple, but there is a kind of beauty that cannot be ignored in such simplicity.

Like a white lotus in the turbid world of mortals, it is simple but cannot be ignored.

She got off the carriage slowly and quietly watched the beautiful morning light around her; man and nature formed a beautiful ink painting conception.

She didn't speak, but made the surrounding maids and female guards dare not speak, as if they were afraid of interrupting this beauty.

Even the wild rouge horses around them lowered their heads quietly, gnawed at the surrounding green grass, and snorted a few times from time to time, as if they were very comfortable.

Birds and butterflies came lightly, circling and dancing around her.

After a while, when the sun rose, the beauty dissipated; she sighed slowly, her voice echoed like a clear spring, elegant and somewhat sad, and quietly passed away in the breeze.

After a sigh, an elegant and natural smile appeared on her face.

Seeing the smile, the previous maid immediately cheered, "Congratulations princess, the princess's cultivation state of the unity of man and nature has improved again. Maybe it won't take long before she can achieve the real unity of man and nature without resorting to natural landscapes." .

At that time, the princess must be the youngest Confucian innate.

Confucian innate, that is comparable to the existence of a master in the stage of transforming gods..."

The princess smiled slightly, "Fangfang, if you study hard and read the notes I made, you also have the hope of becoming innate."

"I don't want to read books. Confucianism is too complicated. From practice to life, from speech to action, there are requirements for everything. It's better to stick to traditional Taoist practice."

"You." The princess gracefully walked back to the carriage and ordered softly, "Go on."

A row of beautiful, elegant, dignified and extravagant carriages moved forward slowly, guarded by extraordinary female guards on both sides, all of them were masters of Jindan stage or above.

…………

In Qingyun Kingdom and the main hall of the imperial palace, Xu Ren stood in front of the emperor's throne and talked eloquently - the emperor of Qingyun Kingdom gave up his seat.

It could be said that Xu Ren sat up here, and the guards over there dragged Xu Ren down and chopped him down.

But with Emperor Qingyun's statement, the officials listened carefully, not daring to miss a single word, not even Xu Ren's tone of voice.

Xu Ren talked eloquently, talking about capitalism, industry and commerce, rejuvenating the country and strengthening the army, and what he said was penetrating and to the point.

But there is one thing, Xu Ren only talked about the situation of the Shang Kingdom, and absolutely did not criticize the centralization of power and so on. Anyway, the emperor of Qingyun Kingdom was very satisfied.

The officials of Qingyun Kingdom looked at each other, but all of them were shocked.

Everyone did not expect that the theory of industry, commerce and capitalism that popped up suddenly was so "exaggerated".

One person can own the wealth of a country; the steel output of a factory in one day is equal to the steel output of a country in the past year. The skyfire bomb that wiped out Yang Guo is a product of industry...

From wealth, to politics, to military affairs, etc., to the future—flying to the fairyland, Xu Ren's speech this time brought an unimaginable shock to Qingyun Kingdom.

"Actually, this is another way to ascend!" Xu Ren finally concluded.

The officials of Qingyun Kingdom discussed it, and everyone was shocked for a while, and they couldn't think of what questions to ask for a while.

The emperor of Qingyun Kingdom saw this, "Well, Mr. Xu will stay in Qingyun Kingdom for three days. Everyone go back and think about it first, and discuss it with us tomorrow morning."

…………

In the same early dynasty, Shao Guo was quite dignified.

In the past few days, Shao Guo was extremely busy.

The construction of the Shang Kingdom's railway has started, it's nothing, it's already planned; a little hectic is expected.

Shao Guo attacked Cao Guo to the west, but it was troublesome. Shao Guo wanted to retreat, but Cao Guo quit—oh, fight as you say, and leave as you say, Cao Guo is weak, but we will fight you Shao Guo to the end!

In the north, because Zhu State cut off the "Taoshui" river, Shao State and Wu State jointly put pressure on Zhu State, and the war was imminent.

But the biggest thing for Shao Guo is to draw a picture, a phoenix. Well, it’s actually a metaphor, to find a direction and core for Shao Guo’s future and development. (see Chapter 563)

But the actual situation is always deplorable. This phoenix is ​​not easy to draw! As he drew and drew, he approached the Kingdom of Shang.

Originally, Emperor Shao planned to draw this "Phoenix" in about half a month, but in fact, it has been almost a month and a half now, and he still has no clue.

According to the Kingdom of Shang, first of all, those with vested interests quit; and this also threatens the foundation of centralization. Secondly, the emperor of the Shao Kingdom does not have as much aura as Li Xian, and there is no industrial and commercial foundation like the Shang Kingdom in Shao's country, and capitalism cannot be taken over and used.

All in all, into a dead end.

"How about asking Shang Kingdom for advice? Ask Li Xian for advice!" Prime Minister Shao Guo had no choice but to give such a suggestion.

"Can this work?" Not to mention the emperor, even the Taiwei, Taishi and others expressed doubts and even objected. The phoenix that King Shang painted for us, isn't it a 'dead phoenix'?

Prime Minister Wan Shun has some considerations: "Your Majesty, Honglu Temple Minister Gongsun Jue once said that reputation and reputation are the greatest interests of the Shang Kingdom. Now, everyone recognizes this point.

Therefore, the minister believes that the Kingdom of Shang will either not give an opinion, if it gives an opinion, it must be feasible!

But again, just be afraid of the price..."

Good stuff, the price is definitely not cheap! What's more, Shao Guo is still standing in the way of Shang Kingdom's expansion. If you think about it with your toes, you can understand that if Shang Wangguo gives a suggestion, then in terms of asking price, it will definitely be a lion's mouth!

Emperor Shao frowned and thought, while the officials waited quietly.

After a while, Emperor Shao finally made up his mind, and asked the Minister of the Household Department next to him: "Zhan Tianlin, how much money can we transfer now?"

"If it doesn't affect the next operations, you can also mobilize 8 million taels of gold.

In addition, there are some elixir and spiritual materials that can be realized, about 30 million taels.

In addition, now that the end of the year is approaching, new taxes will come up, and it is estimated that 5 million taels of gold can be squeezed out of the taxes. "

After hearing these figures, Emperor Shao smiled wryly, and laughed at himself a little: "Hey, adding up the entire Shao Kingdom, the woman named Xie Yuhua is not as rich as that woman named Xie Yuhua."

After a short pause, Emperor Shao looked at Prime Minister Wanshun, "Prime Minister, within 50 million taels of gold, can you get guidance from Shang Kingdom and invite Shang Kingdom to help us lay a relatively complete industrial foundation?"

This... is a bit difficult! Prime Minister Wan Shun secretly wiped his cold sweat: Your Majesty, don't you know that a set of half-old and obsolete oil refining equipment in the Kingdom of Shang was sold to the Kingdom of Yue for 200 million taels of gold! This incident was quite a sensation.

Thinking about it this way, as a subject, the prime minister can only bite the bullet and say, "I will do my best."

Do your best... Whether you can succeed or not is up to fate. It is almost impossible to say that 50 million taels of gold is enough to lay a complete industrial foundation for the country. Everyone understands, but there is always a negotiation, right?

(Finally brought Confucianism over. O(∩_∩)O ha!)
