Chapter 373
Cheng Hui told Lin Qingqiu his idea, and Lin Qingqiu naturally supported it unconditionally.
As a hands-off boss, he really doesn't care much about his territory.
In other words, the vast majority of demon cultivators don't think about infrastructure.
As for demonic cultivators, isn't it normal for them to fight and kill each other every day? If you get implicated, then consider yourself unlucky. How could an ordinary person seek revenge on a cultivator?
Lin Qingqiu did not exploit the hobbies of ordinary people, but he also did not pay special attention to them.
His attitude is similar to that of all other monks, ignoring mortals.
So, in his opinion, since Cheng Hui likes it, then do it. Not to mention that it is just a group of mortals. If Cheng Hui wants, he can easily capture a group of cultivators to cooperate with Cheng Hui.
Then... Cheng Hui assigned him a bunch of tasks.
Lin Qingqiu: ...
First and foremost.
We must first discuss with those giants of the demonic path that demonic cultivators will not be able to slaughter mortals at will in the future.
If you are in a bad mood, you can just go to a small town and kill someone to vent your anger. This kind of thing is absolutely not allowed.
As mentioned before, the few bigwigs invited by Lin Qingqiu are all those with a relatively low moral standard in the magic world. The real murderers are not among those invited by Lin Qingqiu.
The main skills practiced by these people's sects do not require killing humans, and as the top leaders of the sects, they also understand what sustainable development means.
Each major sect has its own territory. Although they will not deliberately control the flow of population, they cannot take away other people's territory when recruiting disciples.
Once you've completely destroyed your territory and your foundation has collapsed, where will you recruit next time? Genius disciples can serve as leaders and role models for others, but it's the mid-level disciples who truly form the backbone of a sect.
For example, you have to guard the production areas of various mineral resources, right? If you don't, what if others steal them?
If you want to defend, you have to use people. You can't let those talented disciples do these trivial things, so the final task will still fall on those mediocre disciples.
Killing too many mortals will cause a lack of successors, so they can completely accept the ban on killing mortals.
Cheng Hui knew very well that it was difficult to change human nature, and it was unrealistic to expect the demon cultivator to change all his past bad habits at once.
Lin Qingqiu is very powerful, but not strong enough to overwhelm the entire Xuanheng Realm, so if he wants to save the lives of most mortals, he can only do it slowly.
He couldn't afford to offend those demonic sects whose nature was cruel, or whose main skills were based on human lives and souls, but he secretly made a decision that sooner or later, he would destroy those sects full of murderers and completely cut off that kind of harmful inheritance!
Lin Qingqiu's negotiations went very smoothly. He and Cheng Hui were both well aware that taking too big a step could easily lead to trouble, so they discussed with those giants things that would not touch their foundation.
For example, do not slaughter mortals at will, do not fight at will within the city, and have certain business cooperation with each other, etc.
No one would disagree with something like this that would benefit everyone, so at Lin Qingqiu's suggestion, everyone signed an agreement and formed a loose alliance.
Although in the magic world, the effect of an agreement is basically equivalent to the strength of the person who wants to maintain the agreement, compared with Lin Qingqiu's strength, as long as he does not die, this agreement can continue.
After seeing off those giants of the magic world, Lin Qingqiu looked around and found that most of the people who needed his attention had left.
Master Wuyouzi didn't like noisy places, so after attending the dual cultivation ceremony, he left the square and did not attend the subsequent banquet.
At this time, most of the people at the banquet were the leaders of some small and medium-sized sects. Although these people were not subordinates of the Demon Palace, they had to give face to the Demon Lord and came out to participate in this ceremony.
At the same time, many of them heard the conversation between the Demon Lord and those big guys, and secretly remembered it in their hearts, planning to go back and warn those restless disciples at home, so that they would not anger the Demon Lord because of a momentary impulse and bring disaster to the family.
Lin Qingqiu was very satisfied with the results of this ceremony. Not only did he gain the recognition of Heaven, but he also successfully dealt with Cheng Hui's friends from his previous life.
He has always been dissatisfied with those people. It would be better if he could cut off contact with them. After all, among those people, only Master Changping is worthy of being Cheng Hui's friend. The others... ha!
After instructing Feiyu to entertain the guests well, Lin Qingqiu greeted everyone and then left the square.
When he returned to the bedroom, he saw Cheng Hui in red clothes lying on the table writing furiously.
He walked over curiously. Cheng Hui didn't even raise his head when he heard him: "Are you back?"
"Well. What are you writing?" Lin Qingqiu asked.
"My five-year plan. It's not finished yet. What do you think of it?" Cheng Hui proudly held up the paper and showed it to Lin Qingqiu.
Lin Qingqiu took a look and the expression on his face was hard to describe.
Cheng Hui: ...
He glanced at Lin Qingqiu and asked, "What does that expression of yours mean?"
Lin Qingqiu stammered, "Nothing." He didn't quite understand. To improve the lives of ordinary people, couldn't they just give them more money? Or, if they lowered the price of grain, making it cheaper, ordinary people could have enough to eat. If they could eat their fill and not starve, and if they worked harder and earned some pocket money, that would be considered a good life, right?
Cheng Hui's plan was so densely packed with details that it was terrifying. It was completely comprehensive, with adjustments made to every aspect of life, from food, clothing, housing, and transportation.
He was not against Cheng Hui working for the welfare of mortals, but... this plan form was so long. If Cheng Hui wanted to complete all the tasks, wouldn't he be so busy that he wouldn't even have time to go home?
How can this be!
Lin Qingqiu felt sick when she thought about herself staying alone in an empty bed, waiting for Cheng Hui to come back every day like a wife waiting for her husband.
When I was Lin Qingyang, we could spend time together, but now that I have become the Demon Lord, you have more things to do?
Then it’s better for the Demon Lord not to do it!
Cheng Hui had no idea that his plan had already led Lin Qingqiu to abandon his position and flee, but he instinctively felt something was amiss. The man's volatile expression was enough to prove that what he was thinking was definitely not a good thing.
"Ahem... Qingqiu, what are you thinking about?" Cheng Hui asked tentatively.
Lin Qingqiu was unhappy, but he didn't say anything. He pursed his lips, looking aggrieved: "Ah Hui, don't you want me anymore?"
Cheng Hui: ???
No...how does this have anything to do with not wanting you?
"No? How could I not want you? If I didn't want you, why would I become your Taoist partner?" Cheng Hui quickly comforted her softly.
"Look..." Lin Qingqiu pointed at the long form: "You have so much to do, do you still have time to accompany me?"
Cheng Hui looked at the form, then at Lin Qingqiu, who looked aggrieved, and suddenly laughed. He tapped Lin Qingqiu's forehead with his index finger and said, "What are you thinking? There are so many things to do, how can I possibly do it myself? In your words, if I have to do everything, then what is the point of having subordinates?"
When Lin Qingqiu heard this, his expression immediately turned from cloudy to bright. He was saying that Ah Hui still loved him, so how could he bear not to stay with him.
As for work? Of course, it was left to Feiyu to handle.
Anyway, those who are capable should work harder, so I think Feiyu won’t mind having more work to do.
(Fei Yu:!!! I care!!)
Cheng Hui pulled Lin Qingqiu and they both lay on the bed. He pointed at the items on the form and explained them to Lin Qingqiu one by one.
What is this item for, what is that item for? The subsequent item is related to the previous item. If the previous project is not completed, the subsequent one will also be postponed.
Lin Qingqiu also put forward his own idea about raising grain prices. Cheng Hui did not laugh at him, but analyzed to him in detail why grain prices cannot be suppressed at will. Not to mention suppressing grain prices, even when adjusting them, one must be careful, even more careful, to avoid economic collapse due to changes in grain prices.
Cheng Hui didn't really understand much, but he had listened to a lot of news in his previous life, so he naturally had some understanding. Besides, if he couldn't do homework, he couldn't copy homework. Various modern systems could be slightly modified and tried out in a certain area. As long as they worked, they would be promoted to all places.
The only good thing about the cultivation world is that the existence of cultivators and magic spells can guarantee Cheng Hui a bottom line, so that many people will not starve to death due to a certain action. Moreover, the environment here is very suitable for top-down reform. After all...
If a famous scene from a TV drama were to appear here, where an old minister would rather die than carry out the Demon Lord's orders, or someone pointed at Cheng Hui's nose and called him a demon concubine who brought disaster to the country and the people, then the result would most likely be that the person who did such a thing would be hung on the wall by Lin Qingqiu.
How can you have any say in the Demon Lord's orders?
Cheng Hui: ╮(￣▽￣\")╭
As for what to do after doing these things?
Hey, there's a saying that goes, "Civilization will find its own way." At most, he's pointing these people in a direction; how they proceed depends on how the world develops.
Cheng Hui talked about his plan for a full hour, and his mouth was dry. After he finished speaking, strange phenomena suddenly appeared around him. The sky fell, golden lotuses emerged from the ground, and countless golden sands fell from the sky, turning Cheng Hui into a golden man.
Cheng Hui: ???
Lin Qingqiu looked at the golden sand of merit falling down in surprise. After being shocked, he realized something and smiled with joy.
Such a huge amount of merit proves that Cheng Hui's plan is beneficial to this world. The way of heaven in this world must have deduced something and obtained a very good result, which is why it bestowed so much merit and gold sand.
With these golden sands of merit protecting him, it can be said that as long as Cheng Hui does not commit suicide, his life in the second half of his life in this world will almost be as he wishes.
Even if he leaves this world, people like him who have great merits will be very welcome in other worlds.
If Lin Qingqiu didn't know very well that Cheng Hui came from another world, he would really suspect that he was the illegitimate son of Tiandao after receiving such treatment.
Uh... maybe it is true?
Thinking back to Cheng Hui's experiences in this life, wherever he went, he encountered trouble, but he always managed to turn danger into safety and even gained something. It seems that it is not wrong to say that he is the son of heaven...
Lin Qingqiu fell into deep thought. If Cheng Hui was the Son of Heaven, then what was he? The Son-in-law of Heaven?
Snap!
A small flash of lightning appeared above his head, blackening a strand of his hair.
Lin Qingqiu: ...
Well, it seems that Heaven doesn't want a son-in-law like him... Then, a daughter-in-law? He thought tentatively.
Tiandao: ...
Nothing happens.
Lin Qingqiu was satisfied.
Very good, then I am the daughter-in-law of Heaven.
Tiandao: ...
The Heavenly Dao said that there is no fucking thing to say about this person’s shamelessness.
Lin Qingqiu silently swore that he would treat Cheng Hui well and ensure that your son would live comfortably for the rest of his life.
Tiandao: ...
From his perspective, the rich golden light of merit on Cheng Hui's body was flowing into Lin Qingqiu's body along a blood-colored connection.
Under the influence of the golden light of merit, Lin Qingqiu's karma was gradually worn away, and he eventually turned into a little golden man.
Tiandao was speechless watching the two little golden figures leaning against each other sweetly. In the end, he could only hold his nose and accept this daughter-in-law.
Lin Qingqiu felt that he had been recognized by Tiandao, and quietly reminded himself in his mind that today was his and Ah Hui's wedding night, and he hoped that Tiandao, the old father, would not peek.
Tiandao: ...
What a psycho!
How can it be called peeping when he has only the consciousness of Heaven?
Thinking this angrily in his heart, Tiandao withdrew his attention from Cheng Hui.
This guy is pretty good, but his eyesight is a bit poor. I'll have to be more careful next time I choose.
Lin Qingqiu had no idea that the laws of nature in this world were actually silently criticizing him. He looked at the sky. It was already late, the auspicious time for the wedding night.
He took two glasses of wine, which were the wedding wine prepared for ordinary couples, and silently handed one glass to Cheng Hui.
Cheng Hui understood his hint and couldn't help blushing as he took the wine glass.
After they drank the wedding wine, their eyes were glued to each other, lingering tenderly. In Lin Qingqiu's beautiful eyes, there was a strong desire hidden. Cheng Hui almost didn't dare to look into his eyes, but he couldn't bear to look away.
The two of them kept getting closer, and eventually overlapped into one reflection...
The night wind blows gently outside the window, and lovers are affectionate inside the window.
