Chapter 685 The Coolie God
The Fifth Xuan often goes into seclusion, but most of the time he goes into seclusion under his own statue in the fairyland.
But he has not appeared for three years since his last departure, and when he disappeared, the gods had just left the fairyland. After
the gods left the fairyland, they were still under the control of the Ancestral Witches according to the Fifth Xuan's instructions, but the gods had just left and had to explore the way to balance.
If the Fifth Xuan was there, everything would be fine, but when the Fifth Xuan was not there, the gods and the Ancestral Witches were a little confused.
It was fine at the beginning, because no one knew that the Fifth Xuan would not be back for a long time, and the gods were relatively well-behaved.
Gradually, when they had something to ask for advice, they found that they could not contact the Fifth Xuan, and they were not satisfied with the control methods given by the Ancestral Witches.
The friction between the two sides is getting bigger and bigger, and the gods are not used to the discipline of the ancestors, so the contradiction is getting bigger and bigger.
Not only that, the gods' suppression of the four cities also makes the people of the four cities feel confident, and they also begin to consider their own interests more. The reduction in taxes is only one aspect.
The inclination of resources and the supply of talents are also slowly changing.
Although the alliance has always focused on the development of the five major cities, it has also provided great support to the towns.
But since the crazy attempts since last year, the four cities have already had an impact on the surrounding towns for their own development.
If it was just the plundering of the capital's resources, the capital could still tolerate it. After all, the capital has been supplied by the four cities for many years and has abundant resources. But now that the towns are being exploited, the capital can no longer tolerate it.
In addition, the plan to go south and north is being quietly implemented, and the actions of the four cities have a great impact on the implementation of the plan.
Among the four cities, Longcheng is the most serious in terms of interception of funds, materials, and talents, and it is also Longcheng that takes the lead.
But Longcheng did all this in order to go south and expand its territory, which is different from the other cities.
The other three cities saw what Longcheng did and followed suit, which made the capital very uncomfortable.
And the one that learned the most was actually Bronze City, which was really beyond the expectations of everyone in the capital, so the first stop of the fourth generation of ancestor witches was to go to Bronze City.
After leaving the courtyard and strolling around the capital, the fourth generation ancestor witch was very satisfied with the changes in the capital, and then he went out of the city directly and headed north.
He was not particularly anxious along the way. If Taichu did not come back, the plan to go north would not be implemented, so it would be okay even if supplies, funds and even talents could not be stored in the capital.
How much was eaten and how much was taken were all recorded there, and when Taichu came back, these would be brought back.
Starting from the spring and flying north until the summer came, the fourth generation ancestor witch was getting closer and closer to the Red Bronze City.
Just when he saw the Red Bronze City from a distance, he found that to the east of the Red Bronze City, there was a tall figure digging hard.
The figure was very huge, dozens of feet tall, made of copper, iron and other metals, and was constantly bending over to dig.
The fourth generation of ancestor witches immediately flew over, stood in the air, and asked the tall figure: "Gold Master, what are you doing?"
The tall figure heard someone calling him and immediately stood up.
As he stood up, copper and iron fell from his body, making a rumbling sound.
The fourth generation of ancestor witches frowned and looked at his feet, and found that it was a mine, and the huge body of the God of Gold Master was actually mining.
"I'm... mining."
The voice of the God of Gold Master was very slow, and it was obvious that his big body was not smoothly controlled.
"Speak with your original body."
The fourth generation of ancestor witches didn't want to talk to him like this.
"Okay."
The huge body said, and then opened its mouth wide. Not long after, the God of Gold Master, who looked like Iron Man, flew out.
The fourth generation ancestor witch looked at the flying God of Gold and couldn't help but tremble his eyebrows. He was surprised because the God of Gold's appearance was too shocking.
There were several thick gold chains hanging around his neck, and a bunch of small chains hanging on his arms. He didn't know what the God of Gold was thinking about this appearance.
"Why do you hang these chains?"
asked the fourth generation ancestor witch.
He guessed that this might be a new method of the God of Gold, such as throwing chains during battle, but it was too ugly and too hard to look at.
"Every time I dig up a mine, my tribe will reward me with one. Look, I have dug... one, two, three, four..."
The fourth generation ancestor witch was shocked by the words of the God of Gold. Is this god a coolie?
He waved his hands to tell the God of Gold to stop counting, and asked, "How long have you been mining?"
The God of Gold also gave up the desire to count. It was okay on his neck, but the chains on his hands were tangled together, making it too difficult to count.
"It's been more than two years. I've been mining since I came here. Didn't Taichu say that I should do more for the people?"
The God of Gold looked at the fourth generation ancestor witch with a proud face. This guy is quite proud.
"With you mining here, the output of your Red Copper City ore, isn't it much more than before?"
The fourth generation ancestor witch asked, ignoring his pride.
"Of course, I heard from the people that it has more than doubled."
The God of Gold continued to be proud.
"But they didn't mention this when they reported it, and the iron ore they paid was even less than before."
The fourth generation ancestor witch stared at the God of Gold. He wanted to know whether this was the intention of the God of Gold or his people.
"Crunch, crunch..."
The God of Gold rubbed his iron fingers on his head and asked in confusion, "Why? Is it that the more I dig, the less iron ore I produce?"
The fourth generation ancestor witch understood that the decision of Red Copper City had nothing to do with him.
"The reason given by Copper City is that you want to save these resources."
"I didn't."
The God of Gold said unjustly, his pair of metal eyes were full of grievances, but then, he thought of something.
"Is it because I want to make this body, so I used too much copper and iron?"
He was referring to the body that was mined before.
"Impossible, your body is nothing compared to the annual output of Copper City, not to mention that with you joining, the output will only be more."
The fourth generation ancestor witch shook his head and said affirmatively.
"Then why the capital city would... I know."
The eyes of the God of Gold lit up, and an angry expression appeared on his face: "It must be that among my people, there are those corrupt officials that Taichu mentioned."
The fourth generation ancestor witch slapped his head, he felt a little headache.
It's not impossible for corruption to occur, the question is who can embezzle half of the resources? Is this corrupt person a fool?
"Let's go to the Red Copper City and ask, and we'll know the result."
The fourth generation ancestor witch was not prepared to reveal anything. Since the God of Gold was not involved, he would just find the mastermind directly.
His face became a little cold. If he were alive, people would definitely be terrified to see such an expression.
Because this means that the fourth generation ancestor witch is very angry, and the consequences are very serious.
