Become the Archbishop from Douluo

Chapter 89
A few hours later, Leng Xiyue, who was sleeping soundly, turned around, as if she wanted to hug something, but she missed it, opened her eyes suddenly, and looked at the emptiness beside her, suddenly feeling a little lost.

Since time travel, Leng Xiyue seldom wakes up so late, or can't sleep well all the time. After all, in this different world, no matter where she sleeps, she doesn't feel safe. It's better after encountering Tianmeng , but at that time, he had to cultivate his mental power, and every time he fell asleep from exhaustion, the quality of sleep can be imagined.

It's been a long time since I slept like this until noon.

It can only be said that sleeping next to Qian Renxue is indeed unprecedentedly solid, and Leng Xiyue doesn't know why, maybe it is the characteristic of the angel Wuhun?
Hard to say, hard to say.

Seeing that it was almost noon at this time, Leng Xiyue also got up quickly, tidied up, and then prepared to go out the window, but saw the people coming and going below, and encountered difficulties again.

In broad daylight, if someone finds himself out of the prince's room, wouldn't it be a big deal?
Just when Leng Xiyue was in a dilemma, she suddenly found a note pasted on the bedside table:
"Elder Porpoise is guarding the door, just go out directly from the door. After I go out, no one will visit this floor where I am staying, so don't worry."

After reading it once, Leng Xiyue relaxed, and walked out directly from the gate.

Standing at the door of the room was a short, fat old man who looked like a tortoise. At this time, he was leaning against the door for a nap, and had no intention of talking to Leng Xiyue, so Leng Xiyue went directly to Tianmeng.

Tianmeng and Xuanwu were practicing at this time, and they seemed to have sensed the arrival of Leng Xiyue, so they opened their eyes.

"Tianmeng, where's Xiao Ao?" Leng Xiyue asked after looking left and right without finding Oscar's figure.

"Oscar was invited by Ning Rongrong to accompany the prince to inspect the construction site of the Star Wall. It's inconvenient for the two of us to be light bulbs."

Leng Xiyue nodded. It would be a good thing if these two people could get together. In the original Oscar, he had no connections and could only be his son-in-law. However, if he were to talk about the marriage as Oscar's backstage, he would be a good match. As for Whether it can be done or not depends on whether Xiao Ao can capture Ning Rongrong's heart.

"It's fine if you're not here. Let's talk to Mr. Lin later to discuss business. By the way, Xuanwu, give me a bowl of blood."

When Xuanwu heard this, he didn't ask what Leng Xiyue was going to do, and went directly to get a bowl, then stretched out his hand and exerted a little force, the flesh burst open, and a ray of golden-red blood flowed into the bowl along his arm. After that, with a slight shake of the hand, the wound healed instantly and returned to its original state.

"Xiyue, do you want to...?" The blood of the 10-year-old soul beast was connected to the half-dead Duke Lin Sen. Tianmeng didn't know what Leng Xiyue was going to do.

"Tianmeng, don't you think that Duke Linsen is a good man? He has no party, no affiliation, no sons and daughters, no fame, and no money. He only loves this forest and the people who defected to him. Even if such a person does not find a handle to hold in my hand, I dare to use it boldly."

Along the window of the guest room, Leng Xiyue looked out the window. The guards in the castle were all armored by the Tiandou Royal Guards, and the maids were also dressed in palace attire. They were obviously brought by Qian Renxue, and the rest were only a group of Ordinary people in coarse linen came in and out here, some were gardeners, some came here to deliver supplies, they were obviously local residents of Xingdou Town, and they probably only had an employment relationship with the Duke's Mansion, rather than purchased domestic slaves.

In addition, there are a few old hunters who are sitting in the shade of the tree with guns in their arms. They also look very sloppy. These people seem to be the original guards of the castle.

Don't look at the tall, big and magnificent castle, but the castle itself is not a mansion for living, but a fortress. Presumably it was built to defend against the invasion of spirit beasts. In the middle of the castle, there are more people behind it, and then it slowly expands outwards into a town.

Now that time has passed, it is estimated that those few old hunters were the first to follow the duke's loyal ministers, but if the entire castle is guarded by such old hunters, then the defense of the entire castle is probably quite poor, so bad that it is almost none. Ren Xue would keep some of the people she brought, otherwise there would not be enough people to connect with the guests.

"Hey, Xiyue, I also inquired about Lin Sen. He is indeed a good man, but if you let him continue his life, it may not be certain."

Tianmeng has always been in awe of people's hearts. He never thinks that loyalty and admiration can last for too long. Not to mention such a Contra who has just met for less than a day, even those young ladies in Soto City, he will There is no guarantee that all will remain loyal to them.

Human beings are all selfish, Tianmeng thinks he doesn't have that ability, so he prefers to directly use spiritual means to control others, only in this way can he ensure absolute loyalty.

Leng Xiyue wants to use this Xingdou Town as a pilot to launch a set of effective plans in all aspects, which will require a lot of investment, but don't forget that the people here are all loyal to Duke Linsen.

That is to say, if one day afterward Lin Sen announces to sever ties with them, then they have nothing to do, even if they claim the title of duke at the empire level first, but if the other party really repents, the duke will have another chance What's the use?
"Don't be so pessimistic. I think Mr. Lin understands the righteousness and will not betray us. Besides, even if he betrayed, it's nothing more than losing some money and weapons and equipment." Leng Xiyue laughed Said.

Tianmeng thinks so too, after all, the current weapons and equipment are all from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for free, and even if hundreds of thousands of gold soul coins are spent on construction, with Leng Xiyue's family fortune, it won't cause too much damage if all of them are lost. Loss.

After returning to Soto City and officially starting to distribute the goods, the money will be earned back soon.

Seeing that Leng Xiyue's attitude was firmer, Tianmeng stopped trying to persuade her: "Alright, alright, since you have made up your mind to pay attention, then I can only hope that everything goes well."

After talking about this, Leng Xiyue and Tianmeng went to look for Lin Sen.

I searched around the castle, but couldn't find the other party, and finally Leng Xiyue found him in the woods.

"Mr. Lin, we are here."

Lin Sen was still sitting on the deck chair under the tree, looking extremely tired. Seeing the two of them coming, he struggled to sit up and said with a smile: "It seems that you have a specific plan?"

"Of course." Leng Xiyue said, and handed over the plan written last night.

As an important place, Xingdou Town's income is actually quite considerable. After all, the people who come and go are all soul masters, and they basically don't lack money, but the profitable business is controlled by those regular businessmen. There is no benefit at all, and the merchants wantonly increase the price on the grounds that the cost of transporting food or other products is too high, so most of the people are in a state of poverty.

Find a reason to send these unscrupulous businessmen away, and those who do evil can find a reason to search their homes, reorganize these industries in the name of the Duke's Mansion, and integrate the most profitable businesses related to soul animal products and medicinal materials into a centralized trade area for easy transactions.

At the same time, bidding was carried out to make the merchants roll up, and finally obtain a relatively low price on basic resources such as grains that are only available in the mainland.

The salaries and benefits of ordinary people will also be guaranteed. A set of fixed remuneration standards will be given directly. Those who do not accept it or violate it will be directly fined or ransacked. .

Although the businessman can no longer squeeze the ordinary people working under the ground, and has to pay more money to the Duke's Mansion, he can still make some money. If he doesn't accept it, he can't make any money at all, so he can only accept it.

Under this series of changes, the tax revenue of the Duke's Mansion will increase a lot, and the people will get real benefits. With spare money, they can send their children to the school that Leng Xiyue plans to send people to set up next. You can find well-paid jobs in various industries under the Duke's Mansion.

According to the development of this regulation, everything seems to be booming. In a few years, the town will expand in size and the resident population will increase further, and the town will be transformed into a city.

Things in this area were not something that Leng Xiyue came up with on the fly, they were almost picked up from the Wuhun City's decrees. After all, Wuhun City is also an independent city like this, and its development experience is worth learning from.

Of course, merchants will do everything to make money, and these people can only be treated as big injustices in Wuhun City, but if the Duke's Mansion doesn't have enough strength to suppress them, then these merchants may cause something.

Lin Sen also realized this, so he asked: "Little friend, your policy sounds good, but now I only have a few old hunters in my hands, and they are all ordinary people, so I don't have enough strength at all." .”

"Really?" Leng Xiyue didn't answer, but just stared straight at Lin Sen. To be honest, she really didn't believe that the other party was willing to lure wolves into the house and treat them like fish and meat.

Lin Sen was terrified by Leng Xiyue's distrustful eyes. After thinking about it carefully, he finally made up his mind: "Well, to tell you the truth, I actually have five hundred top hunters in my hands. People who fought against me in this castle and met the beast horde back then."

"At that time, there were no firearms produced by the Wuhun Temple, and all the bows and crossbows were used. Even with simple equipment, they could survive hundreds of thousands of high-intensity battles. Although most people are now five or sixty years old, they Their combat effectiveness is still very strong, and with the cooperation of new weapons, I think they have the strength to destroy the prince's royal guard."

"They are scattered throughout Xingdou Town. Even if I die, if this town is really oppressed by others, I believe they will organize and take up arms to fight for their own rights."

"500 people?" Leng Xiyue was a little surprised when she heard it.

Naturally, the experience of these warriors cannot be generalized with that of ordinary people. In other words, these hunters who have survived countless battles can become instructors or commanders. With these elite teams, recruiting new recruits does not have to worry about the situation that no one is available. Appeared.

Since Lin Sen dared to say it, it means that there is a high probability that the 500 people are scattered in various parts of the city. If it is a frontal battlefield, it must be free to deal with the Royal Guards, but if it is a street battle, the Royal Guards may not even know how to die.

It seems that Mr. Lin has turned his back on him a long time ago!
Thinking of this, Leng Xiyue asked solemnly: "Mr. Lin, I want to ask you a question. What is your attitude towards the Heaven Dou Empire?"

Hearing this, Lin Sen was a little annoyed and said, "Heaven Dou Empire? It's just a group of insects. Don't look at me as the duke conferred by Heaven Dou. In fact, I don't have any gold content. The royal family will not give any help except for the title, and You have to bear certain obligations, as long as you are a Contra, you can get this level of title, but others are too lazy to ask for it."

"If it wasn't for protecting the people and giving them an identity so that they wouldn't become refugees, who would accept this identity?"

Leng Xiyue saw that Lin Sen's behavior did not seem to be a fake, it was obvious that he had been deceived before, but the world was as black as crows, and there was no better choice except to commit himself to the empire.

"Then, Mr. Lin, what do you think of Wuhundian?"

"Wuhundian?" Lin Sen thought for a moment, and finally shook his head: "Wuhundian is nothing more than a selfish organization, and all it does is to win over soul masters, and it is precisely because of these soul masters By the way, adopting them are just ordinary people's family members, which makes Wuhundian look like it takes care of ordinary people."

"Wuhun City, as the base camp of Wuhun Palace, is naturally inclusive. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the most prosperous city in the world, but the branch temples in various places don't care about the interests of ordinary people at all. The law considered by ordinary people, of course, from the perspective of Wuhundian, this is understandable, after all, it is enough to collect young soul masters to make achievements."

Leng Xiyue can't refute this, whether it's the original work or what she saw, the local Wuhun Temple really doesn't get involved in all kinds of chaos, and there are many people who oppress civilians for their own benefit, Ruin the reputation of Wuhundian, such as the one in Gengxin City.

Coincidentally, such things are definitely not uncommon.

Sure enough, Lin Sen's words became fierce next: "However, those people who are greedy for money to the core, even want to extend their poisonous hands into the civilians! They were already oppressed by the empire, and now they have to give It is really a grievance for the people of Wuhundian to impose a hidden tax, how many decent families have been displaced because of this?"

"In my opinion, this Spirit Hall is nothing more than mediocre, and I can only stay here and do my own thing well."

These words can be said to hit the nail on the head, but this kind of thing is unavoidable, there are only degrees of severity, and there is no good way to punish. After all, people who can affect a city are at least at the level of the Soul Emperor, so how can they kill people? just kill?
Without these people, Wuhundian would not be able to control the entire continent, and if people's hearts were scattered, it would be difficult to lead the team.

Unless the power of science and technology can make soul masters a slightly higher level of support than ordinary people, just like integrating the martial arts settings of Tangmen into modern times, no matter how high your martial arts are, you know that you can make a big killer like Buddha Fury Tanglian Weapon, a few missiles will go directly, and the entire Tangmen will be blown up by you.

"What the old man said is true. That's why I want to find a paradise, so that all people in this world can live a good life without relying on the soul power bestowed by God, and everyone is equal."

"I hope that the talents bestowed by the gods on soul masters are not for classifying, but for the future of mankind. Soul masters can have extremely generous treatment, but in terms of rights, I hope they are at the same level as ordinary people, not Soul masters are respected, commoners are lackeys, so as to achieve true equality for everyone."

"And it just so happens that I have a system that can help ordinary people gain power on par with soul masters."

Speaking, Leng Xiyue took out a handful of G43 produced by Qibao Liulizong from the storage space.

In order to show sincerity, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect uses steel of the second grade, which greatly increases the cost, but it is much stronger than the strength planned on Leng Xiyue's blueprint. Although the weight has increased, it can also launch some more For the high-strength warhead, Leng Xiyue also modified some special armor-piercing ejections for this purpose, which has a miraculous effect on the soul master's possessed qi.

After all, the positioning of the G43 can barely be regarded as a sniper, so after using these special armor-piercing bullets, it can defeat the soul king, and it can also pose some threats to the soul emperor. There is no need for this separate modification of other medium and short-range guns. The shuttle will not die or be disabled, but the transformation is a waste of resources.

"I always believe that the power of human beings lies in wisdom, not talent, and what I have to do is to arm these people and form a powerful force that cannot be resisted by you and me under the leadership of you and me. Everyone is equal, and the world is one."

"And this Xingdou Town, or the future Xingdou City, will serve as a pilot for this system. In the future, I hope that this city will become a spectacle that can be compared to the Wuhun City in the Douluo Continent."

Hearing Leng Xiyue's lofty ideals, Lin Sen didn't know how to answer for a moment, he was just kind and wanted to protect the people here, and Leng Xiyue's ideals were much higher than his, so he couldn't help but feel ashamed .

"Little friend is really not an ordinary person. With such a lofty ambition, if the time goes back 30 years, I will definitely help you with all my strength. It must be a career worth fighting for a lifetime."

After sighing with emotion, Lin Sen took the gun that Leng Xiyue took out, and skillfully played with it in his hand. Obviously, he is not ignorant of these things, and he can even be said to be very proficient. Although the design is somewhat different, but The principle is the same.

"Huh? The bullets in this gun seem to be a little different?" Lin Sen was surprised after examining it carefully.

"Yes, the weapons produced by Wuhundian fire bullets with soul power, which is complicated to manufacture, but I only need to mix minerals to make gunpowder. Thanks to the update of weapon design, the explosive power is even stronger than bullets with soul power. The higher the output, the greater the output." Leng Xiyue introduced.

"Tsk tsk, it's really a good thing. With this thing as the basis, what my friend said earlier is by no means empty talk. I'm afraid that ordinary farmers can become good fighters after they are skilled. Maybe Xingdou Town can really become a paradise for ordinary people all over the world. Don't need to look at the face of the empire"

Lin Sen gently touched the gun, and then expressed regret: "Unfortunately, I can't see all this."

"No, I think you can, and you'll have to work for it for a long time." Saying that, Leng Xiyue took out the bowl of Xuanwu's blood.

"Drink this, and I promise you, old man, that you can live for at least another 20 years. With this period of development, I don't think it's difficult to see that prosperous age come."

"I just don't know, is the old man willing to try with me, this road that may have never been seen in tens of thousands of years of history?"
