Take the earth to enshrine the gods

Chapter 407 The newly promoted Tianjun, the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit!
It's spring again.

The peaceful days always pass quickly, and it has been 12 years of Shenwu in a blink of an eye.

In the past year, Dagan's maritime trade volume with the three countries of Wu, Yue, and Yan has increased day by day, and has basically returned to the previous export volume, stabilizing the cultivation industry.

Not only that,

With the help of the Wu and Yue countries, Daqian comprehension products even began to enter the market of the Shang Dynasty.

In contrast, Zhao and Chu had a more difficult time because they interrupted their trade with Daqian. Not only did they lose a lot of tariffs, but the key was that they caused dissatisfaction among domestic cultivators.

Accustomed to high-quality and cheap high-quality products, let practitioners buy "expensive" products from their own country, it will kill them.

As a direct result, smuggling was born.

The chambers of commerce that Zhao and Chu directly participated in maritime trade with Dagan before, caused a wave of closures due to the interruption of trade.

Those merchant ships that cost a lot of money to buy from Dagan can only be parked in the port.

Perhaps, neither Zhao nor Chu realized before that the five-year maritime trade with Dagan had unknowingly reshaped the cultivation market and industrial structure of the two countries.

The influence of Dagan has penetrated into the cultivation industries of the two countries, and it cannot be erased just by erasing it.

The main force of smuggling is these chambers of commerce with large backers in their own countries, and the top leaders of both countries turn a blind eye to this.

The problem is, Dagan is not happy.

This will cause Dagan to lose a lot of tariffs, and even affect the new markets that have just been opened up.

In order to combat smuggling at sea, Qianyuan directly dispatched the Penglai Fleet, and also set up checkpoints at the border of Dongsheng Shenzhou to strengthen inspections and prevent all smuggling.

Even so, it couldn't hold back the desire to survive of the Zhao Chu Chamber of Commerce.

They set up branches in Wuyue and Wuyue, and then used the two countries as a transfer to ship large quantities of goods back to China in the form of curves to save the country.

Only in this way, tariffs have to be paid twice, and the cost will inevitably increase.

Why bother.

It is reported that some chambers of commerce have already started to petition the imperial court to reopen trade with Dagan.

…………

The 12nd year of Shenwu, the first day of April.

In Zichen Hall, Qian Yuan, Pei Ju, the monarch and his ministers sat together again.

After more than a year of rest, the five major corps have basically recovered, and all soldiers have been replenished. Through the previous battle, many generals have broken through the bottleneck.

Many of the fighters who survived broke through to the late stage of martial arts masters, or even the early stage of Wuzong.

"Your Majesty, the soldiers are asking, when will we start the war against Chu?" As Minister of the Ministry of War, Pei Ju also gave in to those war madmen who only had war in their minds.

It's too dry.

"You're asking, when will the army expand?" Qian Yuan smiled.

Pei Ju just laughed.

Qian Yuan said: "I have an idea, is it possible to continuously update the strength of the five major corps through the elimination system on the premise of not expanding the army?"

"Elimination system?" Pei Ju was a little surprised.

"In the five major corps, those fighters, or even generals, who are unable to break through the bottleneck, or have reached the limit of their qualifications, will be sent to the local army. Then from the local army and martial arts academy, good qualifications will be transferred to the five major corps. Form a fixed blood transfusion mechanism." Qianyuan explained.

He is going to be eliminated at the bottom.

The benefits of doing this are obvious.

First, you can put pressure on the soldiers of the five major corps and encourage them to strengthen their cultivation during the non-war period, instead of talking about fighting all day long.

It seems that the energy cannot be released.

Second, the soldiers eliminated from the five major corps were designated as those who had seen blood on the battlefield. They were all veterans and elites.

In a disguised form, the combat effectiveness of the local troops was improved, allowing the five major corps to be more free.

Third, it is easy to create false impressions for surrounding enemies if we do not expand the army.

Who would have thought that the large army, which was at the bottom of the list in the beginning, would catch up and even surpass the armies of other countries in a short period of time.

The only way to do it is to work hard and be willing to invest such a huge amount of cultivation resources in the army.

In countries like Qi, Chu, Zhao, etc., strategic materials such as spirit grass, spirit rice, and black iron for large troops are either divided up by the big and small sects, or go into the pockets of the big and small families.

There is no way to compare with Daqian.

The most important thing is that through the elimination system, the five major corps are slowly transformed into a gathering place for geniuses, and the potential of the five major corps is improved every moment.

Through war, this potential is transformed into real strength.

If things go on like this and he persists, Qianyuan is even thinking about whether it will take more than ten or twenty years to raise the minimum standard of the five major corps to the Wuzong level.

This is much better than blind military expansion.

Qian Yuan has long realized that in a high-magic plane like Yu Yutian, quality is always higher than quantity.This point, in Venerable Yinshen, is even more vividly reminded.

The five major corps should not become cannon fodder corps, they will only eat after the Yinshen Venerable.

Pei Ju's eyes lit up, and he obviously figured out the key. He frowned and said, "Your Majesty, if we really want to implement the elimination system, although we will not expand the army, the annual military expenditure will continue to rise."

This is easy to understand.

According to the current standards of the five major corps of Dagan, the average annual consumption of supporting a martial artist is about [-] spirit stones; while supporting a Wuzong, the average annual consumption reaches [-] spirit stones.

More than tripled.

In other words, for every additional Wu Zong in the five major corps, the annual military expenditure will increase by [-] spirit stones.If all of them were Wuzong, then the military expenditure for a year would reach [-] million spiritual stones.

This is only the consumption of the soldiers themselves, and does not include other expenditures in the army.

It's really scary.

"Good steel should be used wisely." Qian Yuan didn't feel distressed. In his view, although military expenditures have increased, the cost performance is actually constantly being optimized.

Besides, Dagan is not short of money right now.

Pei Ju laughed: "Your Majesty said so, and my ministers naturally agree with it."

"Then it's settled." Qian Yuan is also a decisive person, "As for the war with Chu, we can't act too hastily, just wait for the right time."

With the development speed of Daqian, every passing day is a catch-up of Qi Chu and Zhao Three Kingdoms.

The longer it accumulates, the more violent the outbreak will be.

With Changmei Daoist and the blood god Deng Yin sitting in command, Qianyuan's layout of Dongsheng Shenzhou has actually become more calm.

It is also possible to think about the strategy of Daqian in a longer time span.

There is absolutely no need to rush.

"I understand that after going down, I will go to the five major corps to inspect, do more ideological work for the soldiers, and convey the king's will." Pei Ju was determined.

Through this conversation, Pei Ju gradually figured out His Majesty Tou's thoughts.

Very exciting.

"so be it!"

Qian Yuan finished this conversation, raised his head, and looked outside Zichen Hall, but he didn't know how long this round of calm would last.

…………

This wait is a full three years.

It was not until the 15th year of Shenwu that after the countries of Dongsheng Shenzhou had gradually become accustomed to the new order, a shocking news suddenly came out in Xiniuhezhou far to the west.

The ruler of the Suzaku Dynasty, the Yangshen Zhenjun, the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit, successfully survived the fourth catastrophe, entrusted the primordial spirit to the void universe, and advanced to the rank of Tianjun.

It is also another heavenly king born by Yu Yutian in the past 1000 years.

In contrast, Emperor Xin, the true king of the Yang God, had just passed through the second catastrophe, and he was already behind the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit, and now he was far behind.

The balance between the human and demon races was completely broken.
