The Richest Man in the Heavens Starts from Outlaws of the Marsh

Chapter 710 On a whim

Du Yu drove the spacecraft through the atmosphere of the living planet.

After the spacecraft turned on the stealth mode, he flew the fighter plane to explore several suspicious places marked on the map one by one.

Instead of exploring the places where the natives built cities, he first flew to several uninhabited areas on the planet, and then drove a powered mecha through the mountains and into the sea to investigate in depth.

The result was the same as before, still empty-handed. At most, I saw some strange creatures.

More than ten days later, there was only one spot left on the planet that had not been explored, and it was near the city built by the indigenous people.

The most interesting thing is that one of the mountains is regarded as a sacred mountain by the royal family of that indigenous country. Whenever an emperor dies, he will find a geomantic treasure place on the mountain to be buried.

After thinking for a moment, Du Yu simply parked the fighter deep in the mountain.

He put on an ancient brocade robe and simply used an invisibility spell to fly with his sword to the place called Lingtai Mountain by the indigenous people.

Du Yu had a long sword hanging on his waist and walked leisurely on the stone steps.

Now is the time of crisp autumn, and the scenery of this mountain is somewhat similar to Wuhua Mountain in the Black Province of China in the main world.

The mountains are full of red pine, larch, birch, maple and various trees unique to other worlds.

This is when it is at its most beautiful, showing various shades of green, white, yellow, red, and purple, which are exceptionally gorgeous under the blue sky.

The most important thing is that we are in a low-level civilization, there is no modern industry, there is no pollution, and the air is extremely fresh.

Of course, this was for Du Yu. It would be impossible for people on earth to adapt to such an oxygen-rich environment.

'The scenery is really good. How could it be rated as a 5A-level scenic spot if we changed the main world? ’ he sighed.

Appreciating the scenery along the way did not slow him down, and he soon arrived at the 'Ancestral Dragon Hall' built by the indigenous royal family.

Looking at the square characters with iron paintings and silver hooks on it, Du Yu's affection for this feudal country greatly increased. Although they did not use Chinese characters, they had an inexplicable feeling of blood connection.

Although no detection methods were activated, he still heard someone praying in the hall.

By chance, he stepped into the 'Ancestral Dragon Hall' to see who was worshiping inside.

"My ancestors are above all, my unfilial son Sun Jingkai..." The man burst into tears while describing the difficulties of the 'Great Song Dynasty'.

Du Yu stood aside quietly, admiring the great achievements recorded under the ancestral tablets of the Song Dynasty royal family and the portraits of previous emperors, while listening to the other party's story.

After listening for a long time, I finally got some clues.

The man who knelt down to apologize to his ancestors was named Zhao Jingkai. He was the eleventh emperor of the Song Dynasty. He ascended the throne at the age of seventeen because his father died of illness.

The first year was fine, but in the second year something extremely difficult happened.

Originally, the 'Great Song Dynasty' was in the middle and late stages of a feudal dynasty. There were many internal conflicts. Maintaining the stability of the country was a very difficult task for Zhao Jingkai. Unexpectedly, a big river burst its banks and flooded three provinces, which caused natural disasters.

This was what the feudal dynasty feared the most. Zhao Jingkai immediately issued an order to the court to provide disaster relief. However, 80% of the disaster relief money finally squeezed out of the treasury was divided up before it left the capital, leaving almost nothing left.

Disaster relief has naturally become a joke, and at this time there are countless careerists inciting the desperate people to revolt.

The imperial court had to switch from disaster relief to counterinsurgency. Zhao Jingkai, who was already strapped for money, could only sell a batch of the royal family's treasures and barely scrape together military expenses.

What made Zhao Jingkai even more speechless was that before the rebellion here had subsided, the barbarians in the north began to knock on the gate again to "threat the grass valley".

Two things and one thing, it is almost the same if we don’t say that the people are not living in poverty.

Zhao Jingkai had no choice but to sell the royal family's assets to raise military funds to fight on both sides. Fortunately, good generals emerged from the national crisis, and the Northern Expeditionary Army pushed the barbarians out of the border and barely maintained the situation.

It's just that everyone can see that the "Great Song Dynasty" is probably going to be exhausted. If everything goes smoothly in the next few years, it will be fine, but if there is a slight disturbance, it may be another catastrophe.

As a relatively smart and diligent emperor, Zhao Jingkai could naturally see that the country was in turmoil, but the interest groups in the court were deeply entrenched, and even if he wanted to, he would be unable to reverse the situation.

The feeling of powerlessness filled Zhao Jingkai's heart, and he was so worried that he quietly left the palace under the protection of Cao Zhan, the commander-in-chief of Yu Longzhi, and went to Lingtai Mountain outside the city to worship his ancestors.

When Du Yu heard the other party's story, he felt that it was somewhat similar to the situation faced by Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian in the late Ming Dynasty in the main world. There were numerous internal and external troubles and civil servants formed cliques for personal gain.

The only difference is that Zhao Jingkai does care about the people and treats his loyal ministers and generals well. At least he does not kill loyal ministers in other ways like Zhu Youjian did. 'It was fate that we met. 'Du Yu decided to do something on a whim, just as a sideshow in this interstellar journey.

Seeing that the portrait of Zhao Jin, the ancestor of the Song Dynasty, enshrined in the Ancestral Dragon Hall, his appearance was somewhat similar to that of Yang Xuyan from the Double Dragon World, so he simply used Taoism to transform into the other person's appearance.

"Snapped!"

Du Yu gently patted Zhao Jingkai on the shoulder.

Before the little emperor could react, Cao Zhan, the commander of Yulong Zhida, immediately drew his sword and rushed over.

"Oh!"

Cao Zhan slammed into an invisible air wall, and the huge force launched him five or six feet away before he could stop.

"Be careful, Your Majesty!"

Cao Zhan roared, and charged over again with a sword swinging under his feet.

"Noisy!" Du Yu said coldly.

After that, he waved his hand and used a magic confinement technique to trap Cao Zhan in place, unable to move.

The guy was sweating profusely, but no matter how hard he mobilized his inner strength, he couldn't break free and could only watch them helplessly.

After all, Zhao Jingkai is a mortal. Even if he exercises normally, he is not a warrior. He didn't react until now.

After turning his head and seeing Du Yu's face, he felt a surge of emotion in his heart. He immediately knelt down and said with a trembling voice: "There is a spirit in the sky, and the ancestor shows his saintly..."

He kept chattering and prostrating.

Du Yu chuckled when he saw this, waved his hand and gently lifted Zhao Jingkai up with a breeze, while calming down the other person's excitement.

"Are you Taizu?" Zhao Jingkai asked.

Du Yu nodded lightly. To be honest, in this small world, this guy has lived for hundreds of years. With his strength, even the real Zhao Jinlai would be willing to kneel down and proclaim his ancestor, let alone the young boy Zhao Jingkai.

"Ancestor, my grandson is unfilial..." Zhao Jingkai recounted what happened to him after he inherited the throne.

"Well, I understand." Du Yu said.

"Does Ancestor have a way to break the situation?" Zhao Jingkai wiped his tears and looked at him expectantly.

"Of course there are, and there are countless of them." Du Yu said with a smile.

"Please give me the law, ancestor!" Zhao Jingkai said excitedly, and after saying that, he bowed down again with great piety.

However, Du Yu had so many things in his pocket that he didn't know which one to choose. After thinking for a while, he slowly asked: "Jing Kai, first tell me about your views on the royal family, ministers, gentry, and common people. idea."

Zhao Jingkai was stunned and asked: "Ancestor, my master once taught me..."

Before he could finish speaking, Du Yu interrupted him and said, "That was instilled in you by others. I want to hear my own voice. Just say whatever comes to mind, even if it is some rebellious thought."

"Ancestor, my grandson thinks our royal family should..." Zhao Jingkai said.

He simply combined his feelings as emperor for the past two years with his truest thoughts and poured them out.

In his mind, even if this was a dream, it would be much better to let it out than to hold it in.

Du Yu nodded repeatedly after hearing this. This boy did have some advanced ideas and had compassion for all people in the world. He was considered a kind-hearted emperor.

"Ancestor,...this is my grandson's true thoughts." Zhao Jingkai said.

"I am very happy to be the first to think of the common people. The 'Great Song Dynasty' is not hopeless after all. There are several ways to solve the problem and I will tell you one by one." Du Yu said.

After that, he let go of his spiritual consciousness and used Taoism to pour some knowledge of the main world into the other person's mind.

In addition to ideas such as the idea of ​​​​sharing the land between farmers and the government and the gentry, there are also some reform ideas that are in line with the actual situation of the feudal dynasty, and of course some basic knowledge of industrialization.
