protect our patriarch

……

Half-step immortal weapon?

Shocked, Yao Baichuan took a few steps back, envy and jealousy written all over his face.He glanced faintly at Houhou, then glanced at Wang Anye, as if he was holding back something and wanted to say something.

Even Wang Anye was a little shocked, looked him up and down and said, "Why didn't I hear you say it before?"

"Mr. Anye, look at what you said, we haven't known each other for an hour." Wanhou said in a coquettish voice, "I can't tell you everything, can I? Besides, it's just a half-step immortal weapon, but the name is not good enough." It sounds good, but after all, it is only in the category of Taoism.”

"You can't say that." Yao Baichuan wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Perhaps in the Shenwu period, there were a lot of half-step immortal artifacts, but in our era, there are very few families that can own half-step immortal artifacts. There are a few aristocratic families, plus some from the royal family and Asgard, each of which is well-known, as a bottom-of-the-box existence."

"Young Master An Ye, you are really lucky. From now on, the background of the Wang family has been improved again." Although Yao Baichuan was extremely envious, he didn't dare to have any wrong thoughts.

On the one hand, the Yao family and the Wang family have a good friendship, and the two sides have in-depth cooperation in many fields.On the other hand, he also heard that Yuan Gang's patriarch, who joined the royal family, is still visiting the Wang family.

"After all, I took Yao's light this time." Wang Anye cupped his hands gracefully, "I will report to my great-grandfather later and ask him to help make some compensation to Yao's. Brother Yao should be credited with this credit. .”

"Then I would like to thank Mr. An Ye." Yao Baichuan immediately smiled, "Since your master is safe, I won't disturb your rest, and I will direct the subordinates to repair the flying boat."

After exchanging pleasantries, Yao Baichuan left to get busy.

Wang Anye returned to the luxury cabin of the flying boat, set a restriction, and began to have a more in-depth communication with Houhou: "Wuhou, since you came from the Shenwu Tianxu, what do you know about the interior of the Shenwu Tianxu?"

"You call it the Shenwu Tianxu, but in our opinion, it is the final battlefield." As soon as this matter was mentioned, Wanhou's voice unconsciously lowered, revealing a deep fear, "The demons from outside the territory tear The sky was opened, and endless monsters descended, and our Third Army Ninth Army fought fiercely with foreign monsters on the defensive position."

"We killed countless monsters from outside the territory, but the opponent's army was too strong. Gradually, the number of our Ninth Legion became smaller and smaller, and finally we were exhausted. My master, the commander of the Ninth Legion of the Third Army [Yao Guifang] ], also sacrificed heroically at the last moment.”

Listening to Houhou's description, Wang Anye could vaguely feel the tragedy and despair at that time.

I don't know what kind of mentality those ancestors had in order to be able to fight to the death in such a situation and stick to it until the last moment.

He stood up and bowed in the direction of Shenwu Tianxu with a solemn expression: "Salute to the ancestors who died heroically, and salute to Commander Yao."

After mourning for a stick of incense, he finally asked: "I heard that His Majesty the Holy Emperor used some kind of powerful trump card to perish with the monsters from outside the territory, which created the current Shenwu Tianxu. Do you know a thing or two?"

"I vaguely remember that I seem to have heard of this rumor, but my master's identity is just an ordinary army commander, and he has no access to that level of secrets." Recalling the situation at that time, Houhou's voice trembled slightly, and even the sword The light on his body dimmed a bit, "I only remember that shortly after my master Yao Guifang died in battle, there was a violent explosion. Then everything fell silent. I was trapped in the broken space debris, I have been suffering and suffering, until this time the energy tide swept away the space debris where I was hiding, and then I took the opportunity to escape."

"Then I met you, and I felt that the true meaning of the sword in you was very attractive to me. It seemed that you had a very good potential, so I decided to live with you. Speaking of it, this is also a kind of fate."

Wang Anye knew that the final battle between the Shenwu Dynasty and the foreign monsters was very tragic, but he didn't expect it to be so tragic. For a moment, he only felt heavy in his heart, and he also had a deeper understanding of the threat from the foreign monsters.

No wonder his great-grandfather has always wanted to develop his strength and strengthen himself.Only if the Wang family has enough strength, in case of disasters in the future, the Wang family can have the power to protect themselves.

"Wu Hou, can you tell me something about the Shenwu Dynasty?" Wang Anye tried to collect more information, so that he could take it back and give it to his grandfather for reference.

"Oh, I'm just a tool spirit, and I don't know much about miscellaneous things. And I have been trapped in the space fragment for so long, and I have been attacked by too many energy tides during this period, and many memories are already very blurred and incomplete." Hou said helplessly, "If you have any practical questions, you can ask them and see if I can remember them."

"Do you know Wang Chuanwu?" Wang Anye asked.

Wang Anye is also very concerned and curious about this rumored ancestor of the Wang family.

"Wang Chuanwu? I have a little impression." Houhou was lost in thought, "It seems to be a certain regiment commander of a certain group army. I seem to have vaguely heard it mentioned, but I can't remember the specifics."

"Do you know Wu Panpan?" Wang Anye asked again.

"We know each other!" Upon hearing the name, Hou Hou suddenly became excited, "She is the boss of our third army. I have met her many times with the master. She is very powerful, and she is also very beautiful. Sa, my master has always regarded her as an idol."

As she spoke, her tone suddenly darkened again: "Our Third Army should have been completely wiped out, and most of Boss Panpan is also... Sigh~"

Wang Anye was also shocked.

What a heroic war it was, even the true immortals would fall.It seems that the future development of the Wang family and the human race has a long way to go.

Afterwards, Wang Anye asked a bunch of questions one after another, some of which she was able to answer, and some she didn't quite understand. After all, she was a weapon after all, and she was not always by the master's side, and her memory was washed away by the energy tide. Dropped too much.

In the end, Houhou got a little impatient with his questioning, and said straight away: "Young Master Anye, I'm just a weapon spirit. It's okay if you let me kill people. Can you stop interrogating me? I really can't stand it." gone."

Only then did Wang Anye put her away apologetically and let her have a good rest.

Of course, Wang Anye is also happy to have an extra half-step fairy weapon.

What he cultivated was the Sword Formation Shuangjue Collection, and his main method of battle was [Sword Formation]. Of course, the more excellent swords, the better.

However, before, he had always used [Years] as the main sword and eyes of the sword formation, but now it seems... I am really sorry for Master.

……

some time later.

Dagan Palace, Humble Administrator's Pavilion.

The end of the new year is approaching, and now the temperature in Guilong City is getting lower and lower, and even the palace protected by formations is getting colder and colder, and there is gradually a winter atmosphere.

In the past few days, with the arrival of a cold wave, there has been heavy snowfall, and the entire city of Guilong seems to be shrouded in a field of ice and snow.

Inside the palace walls, the ordinary servants and maids of low cultivation have already put on tightly wrapped winter clothes, and the flowers and plants in the imperial garden have also opened isolation covers for cold protection. Already put on the tinder blanket with its own warmth.

At this moment, in the courtyard outside the Humble Administrator's Pavilion, a group of internal servants were busy clearing the snow on the road with shovels and brooms under the command of the commander of the internal guard, Xiao Xiangzi. They looked busy but orderly.

Suddenly.

A young man in a cloak strode into the yard.

The surrounding snow was piled up, and his ink-colored cloak was particularly conspicuous in this vast expanse of whiteness, as if ink was dripping on the snow-white rice paper.

On the back of the cloak, the pattern of a blue dragon elaborately embroidered by the most powerful embroiderer is also showing its teeth and claws, which is so lifelike that it is particularly impressive.

This young man is naturally Emperor Zi'an and Wu Mingyuan.

Seeing that it was him, the servants in the yard quickly stopped what they were doing, and saluted him in awe.Xiao Xiangzi, the commander of the internal guards, immediately went up to greet him, and respectfully supported half of Di Zi'an's arm.

Emperor Zi An waved his hands at the other servants, signaling them to keep busy, then stepped up the steps, pushed open the door of the Humble Administrator's Pavilion and walked in.

In the pavilion, Wang Shizhao has been busy alone for a long time.Seeing Emperor Zi An coming in, he hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Your Highness."

"How many times have I told you that you are my own, don't be so polite to me." Di Zi'an's tone was a little helpless.

After taking off his cloak under the service of Xiao Xiangzi, he took off his stiff leather boots and put on comfortable velvet soft shoes, and then entered the warm pavilion in the inner room, and asked the royal family, "Has this year's tax report come in? "

"Meng Yuanbai, Director of the Taxation Department, handed over the memorial an hour ago." Wang Shizhao said, picked up a memorial from the table, and handed it to Xiao Xiangzi, "I took a rough look, and this year's The total tax revenue is about 12 billion dry gold, which is a lot more than last year."

You must know that when Emperor Longchang was in power, Dagan's annual tax revenue was only four to five billion dry gold. Even if the tax revenue that the aristocratic families evaded at that time was added, the figure has doubled now.Moreover, this data is still increasing year by year.

It can be seen how rapid the development of Daqian has been in recent years.

"Good guy, out of the 12 billion in taxes, [-] million actually came from Longzuo County." Di Zi'an turned to one of the pages, and his expression was a little emotional, but then he became happy again, "With this batch of taxes, the treasury's The shortfall can finally be filled, and there will be a large surplus.”

Seeing that he was so happy, Wang Shizhao struggled for a while, but still had to pour cold water on him: "Your Highness, don't be too happy. Take a look, this is the development plan for next year and the estimated funds needed."

As he said that, he handed over another booklet in his hand.

Di Zi'an took a look, and his expression immediately collapsed: "This requires the construction of official roads, the construction of a public transportation system, the establishment of government schools, and the establishment of iron-clad cruisers. If we really want to do this, there are so few in the treasury. Wouldn't the money be spent all at once?"

"Yes." Wang Shizhao nodded, "The official way is okay, it's just strengthening on the original basis, but the rest of the projects have extremely high requirements for funds. I calculated that it can last until early autumn at most with taxes alone."

Don't look at the high tax revenue every year, but now Dagan is doing large-scale infrastructure construction in various places, and the border is still fighting, so the money can't be kept at all, and it is often spent out of the water soon after it is acquired.

Fortunately, Dagan has made a lot of money in foreign trade by exporting grain seeds and other items to Xianchao in recent years, so he is not really poor enough to get rid of the pot.

Wang Shizhao looked at Di Zi'an's face: "Your Highness, should we still approve this development plan? If it is really not possible, I will let them go back and redo it."

"Approved! Why not?!" Emperor Anxin was bleeding, but still gritted his teeth, "Daqian is currently in a period of rapid development, and the pace of development cannot be stopped, otherwise it will affect a series of follow-up plans."

Speaking of this, he suddenly glanced at Wang Shizhao: "Shizhao~ I heard that your family has made a lot of noise in Northern Zhou Dynasty and Yan Kingdom this time, and made a lot of money~"

Wang Shizhao froze in alarm: "Your Highness, the trophies obtained by sending troops abroad to support the country are considered meritorious service. The country has policies, so there is no need to pay taxes."

"Who told you about paying taxes?" Di Zi'an was speechless, but recalling the content of the information he received before, he was still jealous, "I knew that sending troops to Yan Kingdom could make so much money. In the past, now there is no need to worry about construction funds.”

"..."

Wang Zhao was speechless.

Your Highness, have you thought about it?
The Imperial Guard is one of the trump cards of a country, and it will never move lightly except for batches of shifts in foreign battlefields.

Not to mention that it is still at war with neighboring countries, even in peacetime, if Dizi An really dared to send the imperial guards to other countries, the Southern Qin and Western Jin would probably go to war immediately, taking advantage of the emptiness in the rear He bit off a piece of meat on Dagan's body.

"No, I have to talk to Wang Shouzhe." Emperor Zi'an gradually calmed down after being jealous, "The Wang family can't digest so many trophies for a while, why not lend them to me and use them to develop the country .By the way, how do you say that word?"

"By the way, [loan]."

This time, his emperor Zi An had no choice but to ask Wang Shouzhe for a loan.

……

Soon after.

Longzuo County, Changningwei.

Wang's main residence.

With years of development, and with more and more members of the Wang clan, the scope of the Wang clan's main residence is also getting bigger and bigger, and now even Ping'an Town can hardly accommodate it.

But even so, the house near Zhuwei Lake is still the residence of important members of the Wang family.The residences of Wang Shouzhe, Wang Shouyong, Wang Shoulian and other brothers, as well as Wang Longyan, Wang Xiaohan, Wang Dinghai and other elders of the Wang Ding family are basically near here.

Of course, dozens of sets of guest courtyards have also been repaired for the relatives of various in-law families to live in when they come to visit.

Not far from Wang Shouzhe's small courtyard, there is a small courtyard with a peaceful environment and full of aura, named "Qianlong Xiaozhu".

The location of this small building is excellent, the courtyard is full of aura, and you can also get a little bit of the fairy spirit of Lixian. There are also many exotic flowers and plants planted in it. The overall layout is also very quiet and elegant, and the residents can enjoy themselves. Quite a hidden charm.

This Qianlong Xiaozhu is a leisure guest house built in response to Di Zi'an's strong demand.

It's just that Dizi An usually has a lot of state affairs, is too busy, and has endless worries every day, so that since the completion of Qianlong Xiaozhu, he has only come here two or three times.

now.

In the garden pavilion in Qianlong Xiaozhu, two figures with extraordinary bearing are drinking tea, playing chess and chatting, and there are many people serving beside them.

One of them is naturally the rare Emperor Zi'an, and the other is naturally Wang Shouzhe.

The end of the new year is approaching, Guilong City is full of wind and snow, but Longzuo County is not bad, the weather is still sunny, but the temperature has dropped a little.

Unknowingly, 14 years have passed since Wang Shouzhe first entered Beijing that year.

After so many years, Daqian is no longer what it used to be, and has a brighter future. Even Zhao Zhikun, who was given a commuted sentence, has long since served his sentence and gone to the Immortal Dynasty.Thinking about it carefully, there is quite a taste of vicissitudes.

After going through the world, the temperament of the two of them has changed a lot compared with the original, and there is more calmness and stability accumulated over the years. Even if they are both wearing loose casual clothes at home, they still can't help but feel awe. Don't underestimate it.

"Hahaha~" Di Zi'an won a game of chess again, feeling refreshed all over, and laughed heartily, "Shouzhe, Shouzhe, your chess moves are as good as ever. The days in the city are over, I am really carefree and contented."

Most chess masters actually don't like abuse.After all, it is too easy to abuse food, and there is no sense of accomplishment after winning.

But how is Wang Shouzhe different from ordinary rookies?To abuse him, naturally, it would be a joyful experience.

"Your Highness is busy with state affairs, and it's the end of the new year, when there are the most trifles. This time I came to my Wang family, you can't miss Shouzhe's chess skills, right?" Ke Ke picked it back into the chess basket, and said in a calm tone, "If you have any requests, just speak up. Everyone is busy, so save each other some time."

"Hehe~ I just love the slight sense of frustration and frustration of you guard Zhe." Di Zian stretched his waist and laughed, his expression was full of comfort, as if he was enjoying all of this.

"Ahem!" Wang Shizhao, who was serving at the side, couldn't stand it anymore, coughed and reminded, "Your Highness, don't forget about business."

business?

Correct.

Only then did Di Zi'an realize that there was still work to be done, and immediately took a sip of the fairy tea, and said solemnly: "Shou Zhe, the situation is like this. I have a few big projects to start on my hands. I think it's between our two families." You are a relative, and because you helped me a lot back then, I am going to take you to participate in the project."

"As for you, Mrs. Wang, you only need to contribute money. When the project becomes [-]%, Mrs. Wang will be one of the biggest beneficiaries. The specific project is like this..."

Wang Shouzhe looked at Di Zi'an's calm and eloquent appearance, and listened seriously.

After a long while, he clapped his hands and said, "It's really the ass that decides the head. Your Highness has been in the position of the lord of this country for a long time, and his thinking is really strong."

"Shouzhe, what do you mean?" Di Zi'an's serious expression froze, a little embarrassed, and he always felt that Wang Shouzhe's words meant something, "If you have any dissatisfaction with the project and the reward, you can talk about it, why bother?" Yin-yang weirdness?"

"Your Highness, do you want to look in the mirror? You have a sentence written all over your face right now." Wang Shouzhe sipped his tea and said with a chuckle, "I, Di Zi'an, pay money! Your Highness, do you really think I'm stupid?"

"Pfft!" Wang Shizhao couldn't help laughing from the side, "Your Highness, I told you not to play such empty tricks a long time ago. In front of my grandfather, you might as well tell the truth."

It's strange if you don't get caught playing these things.

"Cough cough~"

Di Zi'an gave Wang Shizhao an embarrassed look, then refilled Wang Shouzhe's tea with a smile on his face, and babbled about his suffering: "I'm not afraid of your jokes, I, the emperor, supervise the country, I am really tired If I had known this, I would not have been willing to fight for the position of the emperor. Now that we are working hard, we also lack money for this, and there is also a lack of money for that. It is hard for me, a clever woman, to make a living without rice. Thinking about us back then..."

"Don't..." Wang Shouzhe interrupted him hastily, "Borrowing money, right? Just say it when you borrow money, and don't beat around the bush."

"Yes yes yes, it is to borrow money, to borrow [-] million immortal crystals." Di Zi'an said with a shy smile, "Don't worry, I will borrow money in the name of Daqian, and I will pay as much interest as I want."

"Two hundred million immortal crystals?" Wang Shouzhe squinted at Di Zi'an, "How could Your Highness float like this? Two hundred million immortal crystals is a total of 200 billion dry gold."

"According to my inference, the national tax for one year of our hard work is only 200 billion dry gold. With the current speed of hard work, the money can't be said to be beyond our means, and there is absolutely not much left. Even according to His Highness's annual income Calculated by saving [-] million dry gold, it will take at least [-] years to pay off this debt, not to mention the interest issue."

"Shouzhe, your calculations are wrong." Emperor Zi An said eloquently, "You also said that our Dagan is developing very fast. Although the national tax is only 12 billion yuan now, will it still be the same in ten years and twenty years? ? If the national treasury has this money, Dagan can quickly embark on the fast track. In the future, the economy will develop well, and the debt will be paid off within two to 20 years."

"Even if Your Highness is right, but my Wang family is only a fourth-rank family, how can He De give out [-] million immortal crystals?" Wang Shouzhe laughed, "This amount of money is astronomical for a first-rank family."

"Shouzhe, you're going to be bored if you say that." Di Zi'an curled his lips and stared at him quietly, "Let's not talk about anything else, just say that the big order from Xianchao Xuanjia that your Wang family just received can make you money." How much? Also, how much did our rich family earn from going out to fight? That’s [-] million, plus a Taoist weapon!"

It's all like this, and you still put it aside and tell me that you have no money? !
Di Zi'an was really envious of the dead Wang family, who was able to cultivate such a God of Wealth as Wang Fugui.Obviously the Wu clan also sent many children to study in the Wang clan school, why didn't there be such a talent?

"Since Your Highness sincerely wants to borrow it, I can't refute your face." Wang Shouzhe took a sip of the tea cup in his spare time, and said leisurely, "I did receive the news that Fugui made some money, but , that money is the meritorious service earned by Fugui and Anye, and it can't be lent to the treasury for nothing, right? How about this, our Wang family can lend 30 million fairy crystals to the treasury, and charge interest at [-]% per year, within a time limit How about a [-]-year return?"

"Three percent?" Di Zi'an's eyes were about to pop out, "Shouzhe, isn't the interest rate too high? It's going to double in just 30 years."

"If it's not high enough, how can I add some pressure and motivation to Your Highness?" Wang Shouzhe said in a leisurely manner, "And it can also prevent your chess skills from improving rapidly due to too much leisure."

In this world, because the economic development is generally not fast, and even tends to be stable, and the aristocratic families are mainly engaged in long-term operations, the interest on large loans is often very low.

"Revenge, Shou Zhe, this is revenge! If I had known this, I would deliberately let you abuse me a few times when I was playing chess." Di Zi'an felt remorseful and felt deep pressure.

But after thinking about Daqian's development speed carefully, he also felt that the interest was not unacceptable.

"It's just that [-] million immortal crystals seems like a lot, but Daqian is currently implementing a series of reforms, and there are too many places that need to spend money. The money invested in the construction of Daqian is still a bit small." Di Zi'an He frowned again and said, "Couldn't Mrs. Wang squeeze any more?"

"Your Highness, my Wang family is not a dairy cow, not to mention that we are also a big family with a lot of expenses and development plans." Wang Shouzhe didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and then he took out another plan, put it in front of him and said, "However, I have a lot of money here. There just happens to be a plan, His Highness can take a look, it may be able to solve the urgent need."

He knew that Shouzhe must have a solution.

Di Zi'an took the plan book with bright eyes and read it.

However, after seeing the content clearly, his face collapsed again: "Shouzhe, are you crazy? If I really want to do this, I will be killed by those old princes and old county kings in the clan mansion." Criticized."

"If you're not crazy, you can't survive." Wang Shouzhe's face gradually became serious. "The situation is getting more and more tense now. No one knows how much time the monsters from outside the territory have left for us to develop. We must develop as soon as possible." , the sooner the better. The stronger we are, the more chances of survival we can earn."

Hearing what he said, Di Zi'an's face gradually became serious: "Shouzhe's words are true, I will accept this plan! Even if it is broken, I will not hesitate."

Suddenly, his face showed some weirdness again: "Shouzhe, even though that's the case, why do I always feel that I was fooled by you this time? I feel like you are trying to throw the blame."

"How come? Your Highness is a powerful person, so he should take on more burdens."

"No, no, Shouzhe, you are the tall one, and you still have to shoulder the burden."

"Your Highness, don't be humble. The sky will send a great mission to the people, and you must first work hard on your heart."

"Shou Zhe, don't you think the name of the fourth-rank family is too small? It doesn't matter, I can make you a king with a different surname, and the Wu Wang family will share the world."

"Your Highness, your idea is too beautiful, I will not blame you."

"..."
