Qianyuan County.
County government office.
Yin Shiqing reported to Chen Shiyan, "Sir, the temporary ID token has been prepared. When do you think we should take action?"
"No hurry, wait a little longer, make some preparations so as not to be in a rush."
Cheng Qian has been hanging around various restaurants in the city during this period, under the pretext of tasting spiritual food.
In fact, I was trying to listen to whether these monks were spreading the news about the ruins of Qianyuan County.
When everyone in the city knows about it and spreads the news, Chen Shiyan can take action.
"Yes, sir." Yin Shiqing was somewhat enthusiastic about this matter, or rather, all the monks in the Mission Department were somewhat enthusiastic about it.
Because Chen Shiyan offered them a price they couldn't refuse.
For each temporary sign, the county government only needs thirty-five spirit stones, and the remaining fifteen spirit stones are considered their commission.
He was not afraid of the people below playing tricks, because each batch of brands would be stamped with the seal of the Household Registration Department. That seal was now with Chen Shiyan, so he knew the total amount.
He doesn't care how much money they charge, and of course don't go to him if you meet a tough guy.
The extra spirit stones collected will eventually reach his hands, and he will be happy to see some extra money to boost his morale.
"Sir, we have done everything you asked, except that some families and shops are reluctant to do so."
Wu Guiming put it more tactfully.
Many monk families were very dissatisfied. They saw this opportunity and wanted to make a fortune from it.
As a result, now your county government has issued an order to increase the price of the extra spirit stones sold, and your county government wants 70% of them. Why don’t you just rob them directly?
Oh, this is the robbery! It's too dark.
Chen Shiyan didn't even raise his head, still looking at the map of the county on the table.
"Organize the dissatisfied monks, take them to visit the execution ground, and let the executioner explain the beheading process to them."
Wu Guiming shrank his head and replied, "Yes, I think they can understand your painstaking efforts."
Seeing that Wu Guiming had nothing to say, Dou Zhengyuan said to Chen Shiyan.
"Sir, the formation at the ruins has been completed. Would you like to go take a look?"
Chen Shiyan finally raised his head, "It's been less than a month and it's over?"
Wu Guiming was full of resentment, "Lord Dou spent a lot of spiritual stones!"
"If the old doesn't go, the new won't come, and I haven't spent your spirit stones."
"Let's go and take a look."
The formation is ready, now all we need is the east wind from the capital.
......
In the city, Cheng Qian came to the prince's residence, this time he was invited.
The Ninth Prince was quite satisfied with his performance last time.
In the Ninth Prince's hall, besides the eunuch at the peak of the Golden Core Realm and the Ninth Prince, there were five other cultivators.
Cheng Qian was among them. He had the lowest cultivation level among them, at the third level of foundation building.
During this period of time, he did not dare to delay for a moment. Even though he had used up all the resources for cultivation, he only managed to reach the third level of foundation building.
It was just that his life span was greatly increased, and the "Four Seasons Longevity Kung Fu" this martial arts book obtained from Lingyun Sect gave him a pleasant surprise.
Generally, the lifespan of a person at the peak of the foundation-building stage is only about 200 years, and those who can live a little longer can only live about 230 years.
Cheng Qian is now at the third level of foundation building, and his life span has reached more than 160 years.
Laying the foundation is just the beginning of cultivating immortals. The lifespan during the Qi Chain Period does not increase much and has not yet exceeded the scope of mortals.
After he established his foundation, his life span increased greatly. He felt that he had reached the peak of foundation building, and his life span might be similar to that of a cultivator who had just entered the golden elixir stage and was more than 300 years old.
Being able to survive is an incomparable advantage in the world of immortal cultivation.
It’s a pity that the “Four Seasons Longevity Exercise” has only reached the foundation-building stage.
"My fellow monks, you are all talented people. I have encountered a problem and would like to ask for your advice."
"I am willing to share the prince's worries."
"Perhaps you have also heard that a relic appeared in Qianyuan County within my fiefdom. What do you think I should do with it?"
The reason for asking this question is that any ruins or secret places that appear in the dynasty should be reported to the imperial city first, and the imperial city will arrange people to explore first.
Those who explore privately are considered to be rebels.
"The prince should report to the imperial city, but the initiative should be in our hands. I have an elder brother in the imperial city. If the prince recommends one or two, he should be able to lead the team here."
The Ninth Prince gave this person a cross in his heart. Are you trying to solve my problems?
You are really thinking of letting your people step on me to get to the top!
"This is inappropriate, Prince. I think we need to investigate this matter first to see the scale of the ruins. If it is normal, it would be fine to report it."
The implication is that if the scale is very large, it will not be reported.
The Ninth Prince nodded. This man actually thought about himself a little.
As he listened, he labeled them in his mind.
This is related to the important decision of whether or not to bring the person with him when he returns to the imperial city in the future.
"Prince, I think it would be best if you just pretend you don't know."
Cheng Qian scoffed at their views.
Grasp the main contradictions and secondary contradictions.
Is it the relics that the Ninth Prince lacks? What he lacks is the throne!
Their cultivation bases are quite high, but their eyes cannot see upwards.
The Ninth Prince became interested. This unexpected strategist had brought him two surprises last time!
"Tell me about it."
"Yes, in my opinion, the best thing for you to do now is to disappear from everyone's sight."
The monks were shocked, and the eunuchs took half a step forward, locking their spiritual senses on Cheng Qian.
Cheng Qian remained calm and acted as he did in his previous life, presenting PPT to his bosses.
Let’s not talk about whether the thing is useful or not, or whether the content is good or not, let’s first create momentum.
"Prince, your eyes should not be on the gains and losses of a city or a place, nor on a secret realm or a relic. You should concentrate on the imperial city and look up to the sky above, overlooking all living things."
The Ninth Prince felt really good. This really touched his heart.
"You will inevitably have a fight with the princes. Now because of this relic, you may be exposed. This will be extremely detrimental to your future, so you should try to reduce your presence as much as possible."
In fact, he has a more appropriate method.
For example, weaving an extremely attractive story, creating some strange visions, and turning the ruins into giant ruins.
Attract some princes to come here. Even if the prince himself does not come, he will send some confidants.
Then they were all killed to weaken their strength to a certain extent.
But this is not suitable for him to say in his current identity.
Weak strength and low position make one's words less influential.
The Ninth Prince now really admires Cheng Qian. Although his cultivation is not high, he has a very thorough understanding of things.
This is the same reason why he used Fan Chixiu and Huang Yunling to defile himself.
Although preference is one aspect, the key point is still to perform yourself in a worse way.
In every dynasty’s fight for the throne, the prince who emerged first rarely lived to the second half.
Although it was somewhat different from his plan, it was indeed done with his best interest in mind.
"Yeah, I'll think about it."
Cheng Qian returned to his own courtyard, and suddenly, for a moment, he began to doubt what had happened between Fan Chixiu and the other woman.
"Does the Ninth Prince really like it or is he doing it on purpose to show off to others?"
His original intention had two points. First, he wanted to give some sincere advice, as he knew a lot about matters like the fight for the throne.
I have watched too many TV dramas and read too many novels.
Second, to buy some time and support for his clone Chen Shiyan.
The later we report it, the more money Chen Shiyan will make.
If the Ninth Prince doesn't step down, Chen Shiyan can act more recklessly. The Ninth Prince may even be happy to see Chen Shiyan making trouble.
"I don't know how much the Ninth Prince listened to."
After they left the mansion.
The Ninth Prince sat there thinking for a while, then instructed the eunuch: "Among these people, focus on investigating An Guangli and Cheng Qian."
"yes."
"Also notify your people, it's time to start!"
"Yes, sir."
After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the outer house. The Ninth Prince was under a lot of pressure!
