Start Summoning West Factory Flower

"A minimum of 58 spirit stones is required per month."

Zheng Ming was speechless for a while.

The seventeen spirit stone mines produce more than 50 spirit stones per month, while the Dali Shrine Hall, the Governor's Mansion, and court officials consume nearly 60 spirit stones every month.

It seems to be similar, only the output of the spirit stone mine is consumed.

But don't forget, Dasheng used to have 800 million troops, but now Dali only has 250 million troops.

If Dali's army is also expanded to 800 million, then the military expenditure alone will cost millions of spirit stones every month.

"What about Lingshi tax?" Zheng Ming asked again.

Xin Qiji said dully, "I haven't figured it out yet, but it's estimated to be around 300 million per year."

Zheng Ming nodded slightly.

In the past, in Sihai County, the annual tax revenue was about 14 yuan, but now in 300 counties, the tax revenue is about [-] million yuan.

If the status quo is maintained, tax revenue and spirit stone mine output are sufficient to support the operation of the court, but if Zheng Ming wants to develop Dali, the current income from spirit stones is far from enough.

"There is still a lack of spirit stones!"

Zheng Ming said helplessly.

After all, Dali's various industries are still underdeveloped, and various technologies are not good enough. If you want to open up business, you can only sell the most primitive spiritual materials.

If Dali has the level of Tian Yuzong's alchemy and weapon refining, he can earn a lot of spirit stones from outside the dynasty.

"Little Fuzi, ask Ximen Chuuxue to contact Xiaomeng and ask about the alliance with Tian Yuzong?"

Zheng Ming ordered.

Xiaomeng has been back to Tian Yuzong for more than half a month, and things should have made some progress.

"Also, tell Jinxian that it's time to expand the trade of the undersea demon clan." Zheng Ming said again.

In order to avoid hostility from the strength of the sea monsters, the trade of Qinglan Island was only within the range of the six surrounding monster clans.

Now that the Yaosheng Palace has started to make troubles, Zheng Ming doesn't need to worry about these anymore.

As long as he can earn spirit stones, he doesn't care about the demon palace.

If you can't fight, it's a big battle.

Thousands of years ago, Dasheng was able to resist the invasion of the Yaosheng Palace, and now Dali can too.

Chapter 4 We want Tian Yuzong to join Dali

Tian Yuzong.

Royal Thunder Peak.

Thin clouds and mist swim among the mountains, turning the mountains into landscapes like splashed ink, and turning them into pictures.

On the top of the towering peak, Zhang Zhiwei was dressed in a blue robe, standing on the edge of the cliff, his slender body was straight, his beard and hair fluttered gently with the breeze, and his eyes looked deeply at the emerald green mountains.

Xiaomeng, dressed in a cyan gauze dress, holding the Qiuli Sword and holding a fly whisk, came riding the clouds.

"senior!"

She landed behind Zhang Zhiwei like floating clouds.

Zhang Zhiwei turned around, with a warm smile on his old face.

"Miss Xiaomeng."

He didn't call Xiaomeng the suzerain, because the one in front of him at this time was Miss Xiaomeng from Dali, not the suzerain of Tianyuzong.

In other words, Xiaomeng has always been Dali's Xiaomeng girl.

Xiaomeng said with a cold face, "Senior, I have persuaded fourteen elders, and among the remaining seventeen elders, twelve rejected my proposal, and five others were vacillating."

To form an alliance between Tianyuzong and Dali, it is necessary to obtain the consent of the elders of Tianyuzong.

For more than half a month, Xiaomeng has been convincing many elders, and the harvest is not small, but it is still not enough.

"Did Mr. Dugu break through?" Zhang Zhiwei asked.

"Breakthrough has been made!" Xiaomeng replied.

"That's enough." Zhang Zhiwei stroked his long beard and smiled.

He, the public loses his hatred, and Dugu seeks defeat. These are the three elders.

Including the [-] people Xiaomeng persuaded, the number has reached [-], and it has reached half of the elders.

Xiao Meng hesitated, and said, "Li Sansheng does not agree to form an alliance."

The opinions of other elders can be ignored, but Li Sansheng's opinions cannot be ignored.

Li Sansheng is the elder with the highest qualifications in the Tianyuzong. Although Sheng Tianze and Si Yuansheng are contending with him, if he insists on not agreeing to form an alliance with Dali, there may be instability within the Tianyuzong.

Zhang Zhiwei said with a smile: "Old man, go talk to him."

In the past, Zhang Zhiwei was not qualified to negotiate with Li Sansheng in Tianyuzong, but it is different now.

Zhang Zhiwei is not only the peak master of Yulei Peak, but also has the cultivation base of the Ming Dao Realm. Combining the two, although his qualifications are still young, he has some confidence.

"This will trouble seniors." Xiaomeng said.

Zhang Zhiwei shook his head and said with a smile, "It's not a trouble."

"The supporters behind Li Sansheng are the three affiliated dynasties. He represents the interests of the three affiliated dynasties in Tian Yuzong. If you want to persuade him, you must give the three affiliated dynasties enough benefits."

"This old man is still sure."

Xiaomeng nodded slightly, agreeing with Zhang Zhiwei's opinion.

For Li Sansheng, it is more appropriate for Zhang Zhiwei to come forward than her suzerain.

She had a bad relationship with Li Sansheng before, and her persuasion would only cause counterproductive effects, but Zhang Zhiwei's persuasion was just right.

Subsequently.

The two bid farewell.

Zhang Zhiwei walked through the air from the cliff, and after a while came to the other courtyard where Li Sansheng lived on the main peak.

A small courtyard with three green brick houses looks like a small farmyard.

For advanced cultivators, the prosperity of the secular world is long gone, and very few strong people will be greedy for the secular wealth and honor.

It is enough to have a tile-roofed house for shelter from wind and rain.

"Yu Leifeng Zhang Zhiwei, please see Senior Li." Zhang Zhiwei stood outside the gate of the courtyard and shouted.

next moment.

There was a clear sound from inside the door.

"Please come in!"

Zhang Zhiwei pushed open the courtyard door, and the door inside opened immediately. Walking into the room, there was a spacious hall with simple decoration, only a tea table and two chairs.

Li Sansheng was sitting at the tea table making tea.

Zhang Zhiwei looked at the two teacups on the tea table, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.

"I've seen seniors!"

He bowed his hands.

Li Sansheng raised his head and said calmly, "Please sit down."

Hearing this, Zhang Zhiwei sat opposite him.

"You have made a breakthrough." Li Sansheng poured a cup of tea for Zhang Zhiwei and said.

"It's not worth mentioning to break through to the Ming Dao realm by chance." Zhang Zhiwei said.

With the three-turn golden elixir provided by Zheng Ming, Zhang Zhiwei easily broke through the bottleneck, which is really not worth mentioning.

But in Li Sansheng's eyes, it was different.

"Not only you, but also Dugu Qiubai who held the sword peak also broke through."

Although he lived alone in a shabby room, nothing about Tian Yuzong could escape Li Sansheng's eyes.

Zhang Zhiwei and Dugu Qiubai broke through almost at the same time, how could he not know?

Zhang Zhiwei nodded, took a sip of tea.

It is a rare good tea with light tea fragrance and rich spirit.

"I'm very clear about your reason for coming, but I still don't agree to form an alliance with Dali." Li Sansheng said, looking at the tender tea floating in the teacup.

Zhang Zhiwei was not surprised, but he still asked "why".

Li Sansheng looked at him with extremely deep eyes, as if he could see through everything in the world.

"You all come from Dali, and you all want Dali to be superior to the Tian Yuzong."

Zhang Zhiwei shook his head, and said: "We want Tianyuzong to join Dali, not to let Dali overtake Tianyuzong."

Let Tianyuzong join Dali is their ultimate goal in Tianyuzong. Although it is not possible now, Zhang Zhiwei believes that it will be a matter of time.

Li Sansheng stared at him closely, and said, "Are you not afraid of our opposition if you say so clearly?"

"Don't be afraid!" Zhang Zhiwei said calmly: "Now Dali's strength is enough to compete with the Tian Yuzong. Even if you oppose it, it will not be able to affect Dali's rise."

Li Sansheng smiled helplessly.

"The old man is a bit regretful. You shouldn't have been allowed to join the Tianyu Sect in the first place."

Zhang Zhiwei said: "Regret is the most useless thing, and it can't change anything. We joined Tianyuzong, Miss Xiaomeng became the suzerain, and the old man also became the peak master of Yulei Peak."

"Even if you objected at the beginning, it can't change any results."

"Because you are only in the Ming Dao Realm, not the Immortal Terrace Realm."

Although the elders group in charge of the affairs of the sect in the Tianyu Sect, it is the three elders who really decide the future of the Tianyu Sect.

Even if Li Sansheng is the elder with the highest qualifications, he cannot refute the decision of the three elders.

It was not the decision of the three elders that they joined the Tianyu Sect, but it was the consensus of the three elders that Xiaomeng became the suzerain.

These are facts that Li Sansheng cannot change.

"That's right! So I can only watch you devour Tian Yuzong." Li Sanchang sighed.

"Hehe, senior seems to be very dissatisfied with us." Zhang Zhiwei chuckled.

"You guys are all eaters, how can I be satisfied?" Li Sansheng said with lowered eyes.

"Eat inside and out!" Zhang Zhiwei said softly.

This is a bit harsh, but it seems to be true.

Being in the Tian Yuzong, being trained by the Tian Yuzong, but having a heart for Dali, is indeed a bit unkind.

But Zhang Zhiwei disagreed.

They didn't do anything to harm Tianyuzong, although they intended to let Tianyuzong join Dali, but they would not use despicable means, they just followed the trend.

What follows is the situation of Dali's rise. When Dali is strong to a certain extent, it is also a good thing for Tian Yuzong to join Dali.

"The Tianyu Sect will not start a war with Dali now!" Zhang Zhiwei said slowly.

Li Sansheng couldn't help but turn ugly when he heard this.

What Zhang Zhiwei said was the truth, Tian Yuzong would never start a war with Dali now.

Because going to war with Dali would not do any good to the Tian Yuzong, on the contrary, cooperating with Dali would bring a lot of benefits to the Tian Yuzong.

Zhang Zhiwei went on to say: "Compared to Da Li, the Tian Yao Dynasty in the south is the great enemy of the Tian Yu Sect."

The Heavenly Demon Dynasty is located in the south of the Tianyuzong's sphere of influence. It is a Yaozu dynasty, and its strength is not inferior to the Tianyuzong.

The battle between the Heavenly Emperor Sect and the Heavenly Demon Dynasty has lasted for thousands of years. Although there has been no large-scale war between the two sides in the past hundred years, small conflicts have never stopped.

Li Sansheng was silent.

He doesn't like the Dali Dynasty, but he doesn't like the Sky Demon Dynasty even more.

If he had to choose between the two, he would rather choose the Dali Dynasty.
