Black Fairy, the master is a female ghost

In Longzhou City, His Majesty the King was furious.

He threw out the fifth gold medal: "Tell him to get back to me immediately, otherwise, I will charge him with treason and exterminate his entire clan."

Prime Minister Wen quickly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down and allow me to speak a few words."

His Majesty the King said angrily, "If you have to fart, fart now."

Minister Wen said, "Your Majesty, the taxes paid by Jingdu Prefecture in the past six months have been rising continuously."

"In the first month, I submitted zero results."

"In the second month, pay three thousand taels of silver."

"In the third month, pay thirty thousand taels of silver."

"In the fourth month, pay three hundred thousand taels of silver."

"In the fifth month, pay three million taels of silver."

He saluted and said, "Your Majesty, the sixth month's payment is still on the way, but according to previous reports, there are 30 million taels of silver."

He said earnestly, "Your Majesty, a state paying 30 million taels of silver in taxes a month is something we never dared to imagine before."

"Even the slightly more powerful Nanjun Prefecture only pays one million taels of tax per month, which is a difference of thirty times."

His Majesty the King said impatiently, "You are talking so much, what exactly do you want to say?"

Minister Wen said, "Your Majesty, although he disobeyed the imperial order, he is helping Dongyan make money in Kyoto. What I mean is, give him some time."

"Maybe in a year, the national treasury will be filled to the brim with silver..."

Jia Shangshu interrupted him and said, "Prime Minister Wen, who cares about the little money he makes? This is not a question of money, it's a question of principle."

"If he dares to disobey the order now, he will dare to raise an army and establish his own regime in the future, and will turn against us."

Minister Wen said, "Minister Jia, you are exaggerating."

Minister Jia snorted and said, "Am I exaggerating? He's been living in seclusion in Kyoto, and it's entirely possible that he could declare himself king."

"Prime Minister Wen, I heard that Lu Chenglong was the talent you recommended. Why are you so partial to him? What's your intention?"

Minister Wen was anxious: "Mr. Jia, you are... talking nonsense."

At this time, Prince Yan Bei spoke.

"Alright, stop arguing. Lu Chenglong is a talent discovered by this prince. He has nothing to do with the Prime Minister. If anything really happens, it will be this prince's responsibility."

He bowed to the king and said, "Father, I will go to Kyoto to take a look."

His Majesty the King nodded: "You brought him back, you might as well go and take a look..."

In the hall, Minister Jia objected, "Your Majesty, this is absolutely not allowed."

The king asked, "What's wrong?"

Minister Jia said, "We no longer know what Lu Chenglong is thinking. It would be too risky for Your Highness to go there rashly."

The king stroked his beard and thought for a moment, "Yes, if he has any intention of rebelling, his life would be in danger if he went to Yanbei..."

He turned his gaze towards Prime Minister Wen: "Then... Prime Minister, please go..."

Minister Jia objected again, "Your Majesty, this is impossible. Minister Wen and Lu Chenglong are birds of a feather. Will he ever come back?"

When Prime Minister Wen heard this, he was furious.

"Jia Baoyu, you...Okay, I won't go, you go."

His Majesty the King asked Minister Jia, "Lord Jia, how about you go?"

Minister Jia shook his head: "No, Your Majesty, I cannot go. If Lu Chenglong really has the intention of rebellion, I would be seeking death if I go."

His Majesty rolled his eyes and said, "Then forget about that. Gold Medal, summon him back to Longzhou immediately."

In Kyoto, it is the dead of winter and snow is falling.

Lu Xunhuan took Qingdai and walked along the street, looking around.

"The supply of materials today is a hundred times richer than when the city was first captured."

"As long as the people have food to eat, a house to live in, and clothes to wear, my initial goal will be achieved."

Qing Dai asked, "Do you have an ultimate goal?"

Lu Xun Huan said, "That's too far away. I have a lot of things to do and can't take care of it. Time is tight. I can't stay here for two years."

Qingdai nodded: "Yes, there is indeed a lot to do."

Lu Xunhuan continued, "The reason I repeatedly disobeyed the orders of Longzhou City was to maintain policy stability, strive to develop Jingdu and Luocheng, and set an example for the entire Dongyan."

"Those guys in Longzhou City, seeing the achievements of the two states and the large amount of silver flowing into the treasury, will not abandon the policies I previously formulated."

"I don't care whether they will promote it throughout Dongyan or not. As long as these two states can be maintained and the people's good life can continue, that's enough."

Qing Dai said, "Although you are wandering outside, your love for the people of Zhou will never change."

Lu Xunhuan walked over to a hot stall and said, "Have a cup of hot tea."

He asked the stall owner, "How much is a cup?"

When the stall owner saw that it was the general, he quickly made two cups of hot tea and gave them to Lu Xunhuan and Qingdai.

"General, without you, we wouldn't have the good life we ​​have now. This humble servant pays tribute to you."

Lu Xunhuan took out a silver ingot and handed it to the stall owner.

"I, Lu, don't eat for free, so don't try to ruin my reputation, haha."

The stall owner held the silver and said, "This..."

He asked Lu Xunhuan, "General, there are rumors that you are originally from our Zhou Kingdom. Is this true?"

Lu Xunhuan looked up at the snowflakes floating in the sky.

"Zhou Guo is gone, so don't mention it anymore. No matter where I'm from, I'm just like you, a citizen of the world. I'm leaving now. I wish you a prosperous business."

The two of them walked around the city for a while and then returned to the mansion.

The soldier on guard at the gate reported: "General, two elders have brought a group of old men into the palace."

Lu Xunhuan nodded: "Okay."

He was about to go in, but then he stepped back.

"Where is your hometown?"

The soldier replied, "From Nanjun."

Lu Xun Huan patted his shoulder and said, "Okay, we're from the same hometown. By the way, are you married?"

The soldier shook his head: "Not yet. Let's talk about it when we return home."

Lu Xun Huan pondered and said, "Why return home? This is Kyoto, a big city. Don't you want to settle down here?"

The soldier said bewilderedly, "I...have nothing. Where will I live after I get married? I can't sleep in the barracks, right?"

Lu Xun Huan nodded. "It's my mistake. Tomorrow, I will issue a notice that all the vacant land in the city that can be developed will be used to build 100,000 houses."

"All unmarried soldiers in the army will find local women to marry in Kyoto, and each will be given a small courtyard."

The soldier's eyes suddenly lit up: "Really?"

Lu Xun Huan said, "There are several maids in this general's mansion who are still unmarried. Later, you can secretly tell me which one you like and I will match you with a girl."

The soldier was happy and excited: "Thank you, General."

In the huge reception room of the general's mansion, a large brazier was lit for warmth.

The headmaster said, "How come it's even colder in Kyoto than in the mountains?"

Elder Liu chuckled: "The main reason is that there is a big river, which is wet and cold."

As everyone was talking, Lu Xunhuan pushed the door open and came in.

He smiled broadly and bowed to everyone, "Masters of Taiqing Sect, welcome, welcome."

The headmaster stepped forward and shook his hand.

"Chenglong, you keep disobeying my orders. Are you planning to establish yourself as king?"

Lu Xun Huan shook his head and said, "I don't have the time to be a king, nor do I have the interest to do so. I..."

He called out to the headmaster and the elders: "Come, come, take a seat."

After asking everyone to sit down, he shouted to the door, "Dai, arrange for someone to send some fruit. Also, arrange the luncheon quickly."

The head of the sect was surprised and asked, "In Kyoto, there are fruits in winter?"

Lu Xunhuan said, "Yes, we have reached a border trade agreement with Zhongzhou, and fruits are continuously shipped over from Zhongzhou."

He asked the Sect Leader, "By the way, Sect Leader, we've all come together, aren't we going to get the Divine Stone again?"

The headmaster chuckled and said, "No, no, Junior Brother Gao went to Longzhou City to look for you many times, but you didn't come back. We also heard that you repeatedly disobeyed the emperor's orders, so we were worried about your safety in Jingdu City."

"So, let's all come to cheer you on."

Lu Xun Huan smiled and said, "Okay, that's great. Thank you, Master."

He turned to Elder Gao and asked, "Did you succeed in your research?"

Elder Gao nodded: "Yes."

He took out two porcelain bottles and handed them to Lu Xunhuan: "But how do you make him eat it? You have to figure out a way."

Lu Xun Huan turned his gaze towards Elder Liu again: "Well, are you willing to take on this important task?"

Elder Liu chuckled and said, "Hehe, I'll give it a try, but you have to ensure that... that thing... is foolproof."

Lu Xunhuan nodded: "Of course."

He then said to the headmaster, "Since we're here, why don't you all stay here and spend the winter here? Next spring, we'll go back to Longzhou together, okay?"

The headmaster stroked his beard and said, "Okay, we'll go and cheer you on."
