Original God: The Eternal Lord of Bliss

Just as Zhu Yuncheng said, Zhang Caier's wedding was extremely grand. The wedding procession was several hundred meters long, carrying all kinds of precious gifts on their shoulders. Huang Yu rode on Lianyi, wearing a red dress, and came all the way to the Human King Palace under the envious gaze of the Guili people. Then, he took Zhang Caier's arm from Zhu Yuncheng and carried her on his back.

Watching the farewell team go away, Zhu Yuncheng felt dazed. The twelve-year-old Zhang Caier seemed to be still in front of him. That thin little girl who asked Liuyun if he was an immortal was now married.

Time flies so fast.

As Zhang Caier became Huang Yu's new wife, Guili became gradually calmer, just like a lake. Occasionally, a naughty child would throw a stone into the lake, stirring up ripples, and the rest of the time was just calm.

In the blink of an eye, another year has passed.

During this year, apart from Liu Yun choosing to leave Aozang Mountain and come to Guili City to become a clerk in a factory, nothing else happened.

With the end of winter, the canal project, which had been planned for more than a year, finally began.

A year ago, Yuhengxing presented a memorial to Zhu Yuncheng, hoping to build an artificial canal from Liyue to Guili City. At that time, Zhu Yuncheng paid close attention and approved a full 3 billion Mora.

Now, detailed plans have emerged, with the canal measuring 40 meters at its widest point and 22 meters at its narrowest.

More importantly, Zhu Yuncheng did not agree to any suggestion from elemental life forms to come out and help. This canal was completely developed by humans themselves.

Facing Gan Yu's puzzled questions, Zhu Yuncheng explained: "This is a suggestion made by Yuhengxing, so it will naturally be up to us humans to complete it. The Emperor and other elemental life forms may be able to complete it faster, but we should not underestimate humans."

The construction of the canal began, and two million workers were recruited from Xumi, Mond and Fontaine, plus one million workers from Guili, a total of three million humans.

Just when the construction site was in full swing, Huang Yu arrived at the Human King's Palace.

"How are you doing lately?"

Zhu Yuncheng was still fishing in the pond, leaning against a pillar, as usual, but his words of greeting were no longer the same as before. Instead, they sounded like greetings between family members.

Huang Yu said: "It's okay, and Cai'er is pregnant."

Zhu Yuncheng's hands trembled and his eyes were full of disbelief.

Ganyu stopped writing and envy appeared in her eyes.

"One year, one year my junior sister got pregnant. Are you born in the Year of the Pig? How can you be so fertile?" Zhu Yuncheng gritted his teeth, "So, you came here just to tell me this?"

Why did Huang Yu and Zhang Caier get results in just one year, but Gan Yu and I have nothing in all these years!

"No, it's not!" Huang Yu didn't know why Zhu Yuncheng was so angry, and hurriedly explained: "This matter should have been reported to the Human King a year ago. It's about someone in the Qianyan Army who is eating empty salaries and raising thieves."

Zhu Yuncheng calmed down instantly: "Tell me about it."

Through Huang Yu's narration, Zhu Yuncheng gradually understood the cause and effect.

It all started after the Demon God War ended, when Zhu Yuncheng ordered a reduction in the total number of the Qianyan Army.

During the Demon God War, the entire Guili was in a state of war economy, and the Qianyan Army was treated very well. After the Demon God War ended, Huang Yu and Tian Quanxing began to suppress the welfare and number of the Qianyan Army.

Even though Huang Yu had explained it very clearly, and Tianquanxing had offered generous conditions to those who chose to leave the Qianyan Army, there were still some people who were reluctant to leave.

But how could those who have long been accustomed to spending lavishly tolerate a reduction in their salaries, and so the problem of empty salaries emerged.

The so-called empty salary means that a fictitious character is created to collect salary. For example, a centurion uses his power to create a fictitious Qianyan Army squad, and then collects the salary of this squad and its captain.

It is easier said than done.

Because Zhu Yuncheng wanted to retain only 1.5 million Qianyan Army troops, those high-ranking Qianyan Army soldiers, in order to receive empty salaries, would often let their servants pretend to be Qianyan Army soldiers in order to deal with roll call.

This resulted in a total of 1.5 million Qianyan troops, but in reality there were only more than 1.4 million.

More than one hundred people, including the deputy coach of Qianyan Army, were drawing the empty salaries of nearly 20,000 people. Over the past five years, the accumulated Mora exceeded 100 million!

In fact, the main responsibility for this matter does not lie with Huang Yu and Ren Wang Wei, because these extra people were all dispatched to the garrisons of the six countries under various names, and Ren Wang Wei's duty was to monitor the Seven Stars and the people, and did not interfere in military affairs. The members of Shen Bujue who were far away in other countries would not investigate the affairs of the Qianyan Army.

If Zhu Yuncheng could barely tolerate this matter, then he could not tolerate the following matter at all.

Raise the bandits to respect themselves.

This incident was also due to the end of the Demon War. The Thousand Rocks Army was no longer useful, and the reduction in the army made some generals and officers in the Thousand Rocks Army feel a sense of crisis.

They understood that if they continued like this, one day the Qianyan Army would be reduced to only a few hundred thousand people. By that time, it would be hard to say whether they would still be able to stay in the Qianyan Army.

In order to prevent this from happening, under the leadership of a Qianyan Army commander, they secretly united together and deliberately let the thieves in the mountains and forests go, allowing them to continue robbing passing merchants. After the merchants reported it, they immediately sent the Qianyan Army over.

They said they were taking it back, but in fact they were dividing the spoils.

In the past, the Qianyan Army would return half of the profits to the vendors, and split the rest 70% with the thieves. However, after a few times, when they saw that Zhu Yuncheng didn't find them, they started to get bolder. Now, they are not satisfied with the small vendors anymore, and they hand them over directly to the thieves. Only then do the big vendors take the initiative to take action.

After reading this, Zhu Yuncheng put down the memorial in his hand, his eyes were cold, but he laughed: "Interesting, Huang Yu, do you know that there is a sect called Guhua Sect in Chenyu Valley?"

Huang Yu nodded slightly: "It is because of the emergence of that sect that I discovered these sloppy things in Qianyan Army."

"Ha, when I heard about this sect, I was very curious. At present, my country is peaceful, the grain production is sufficient, and the government is clean. Why is there such a sect formed by a large group of martial arts people? After seeing what you presented today, I finally understood."

Zhu Yuncheng's voice was extremely cold, and also contained deep disappointment.

"It turns out that in our Guili, there is no absolute fairness. In places that I cannot see, in those dark corners, those maggots grow wantonly. They pretend to be law-abiding during the day, but when the sun sets and night falls, they bare their fangs and attack those weak people without any scruples!

It is because of the existence of these people that the Guhua Sect was born. If we trace the source of this, they will say that it is all because of me, the Human King, who refused to let them live!

Is it because I won't give them a chance to live? It's because they are greedy. They are just rocks rolling down from the mountains. They either keep getting bigger as they roll down, or they crash into other protruding rocks and get smashed to pieces. Now I will smash them to pieces!"
