key to come

Because of the incident of General Zhenbei before, although the attitude of those nobles towards Shen Lang has not changed much, they don't completely regard him as an enemy.

"Master Guo, this incident has alarmed you forever." Shen Lang was fair to Qi Guo.

"You boy, you must think of a perfect plan for the old man." Qi Guogong patted Shen Lang on the shoulder and said with a smile: "If you do well, the old man owes you a favor."

"This matter has something to do with Duke Qi?" Shen Lang asked in surprise.

"Do you know how long I have been staring at the sea?" Qi Guogong couldn't help feeling: "As the aura gets weaker and weaker, the sea's restrictions on us will only get worse. As long as we can trade by sea or fight by sea, Then the more we know about the sea, the better we will have an advantage."

"Treat all the countries on the other side of the sea as imaginary enemies, then we will not be wrong in taking the initiative."

"If we can successfully drive a nail in the sea, then sooner or later we will be able to pass through the sea and conquer more countries."

"The Duke actually wants to take the initiative to attack?" Shen Lang asked in surprise, "Will those civil officials agree?"

"They know nothing!" Qi Guogong snorted: "The resources of Da Zhou are still enough, but if we want to develop better, we need more resources."

"Resources or something, how slow is it to dig a little bit, if we directly grab other people's, how fast will we grow?"

"Eh..." Shen Lang said dumbfounded: "My Great Zhou is a state of etiquette."

"It's not us who did it." Qi Guogong looked up at the sky: "That's a thief who fled from our country."

"My lord, I feel more relieved to have someone like you in court."

Chapter 611

Seeing Shen Lang coming, Ji Qianhe wanted to get closer, but Qi Guogong stood between the two of them, making it impossible for her to talk to Shen Lang.

Really, seeing Shen Lang's face, Ji Qianhe won't fight now.

She still remembers that Shao Yun, Shen Lang said that she was a spy sent by Nanzhao, but it's better for you to leave the spy by my side.

Are you afraid of surveillance and let me block it?My secret is more important than your secret!

Soon, all the ministers began to enter the hall, and the early court began.

After a long time, Shen Lang almost forgot what it was like to go to court, and he didn't know if those ministers had made any progress.

I didn't pay attention when I was outside before, but now many people find out where Shen Lang is standing, and they can't help being secretly startled, wondering what Shen Lang is doing, why is he standing at the Duke's place?

Marquis?He is too young!

What's more, his qualifications in the court are full, and it's less than a year.

Just like the style of going to court before, there were some unnutritious topics at the beginning.

After talking for a quarter of an hour, Ji Nanxian seemed a little impatient, and said to the crowd, "Xinchang County Bo Shenlang, this time he came back from Nanzhao and gained something. Xinchang County Bo, come out and talk about it."

"I'm here." Shen Lang came out and said loudly: "Minister Shen Lang, because I found out that the Nanzhao candidate for the saint went to Xinchang County where I was, I didn't know what she wanted, so I worked with her for a while. There are His Majesty, the King of Peiping, and Commander Yuan Daren.”

"What I thought at the beginning was to see if I could help the candidate for the Holy Maiden to win the election in Nanzhao. If it succeeds, everyone will have friendship and it will be more convenient for the exchanges between the two countries."

Situ Mowen nodded secretly.

This son of Shen Lang is really a great talent, among other things, his thick skin has already caught up with countless courtiers.

Look at how level-headed it is to describe election manipulation as facilitating exchanges and friendly assistance between the two countries.

"During the period, there were many twists and turns, and a big event happened in Nanzhao."

"Back then, Senior Tianzong, Daoist Nanhua..."

"Cough cough."

At this time, Yang Tai, the Daoist leader of Renzong came out, and said to Shen Lang with a gentle face: "Then Nanhua is a senior of my Renzong, not a senior of Tianzong, and don't make a mistake."

"Hmph, he is clearly a senior of my Tianzong."

Yu Wensu, the head of Tianzong Dao, was still in seclusion at this time, practicing the spell given by Qingyao, and the one who came was a fourth-rank old man.

Generally, people who have cultivated to the seventies and eighties in Tianzong have not yet broken through to the third rank, which means that the road is too far behind Tianzong, and they are all in charge of the administration.

"Well, Daoist Nanhua, the predecessor of Taoism, and Cai Yongcai, the predecessor of Confucianism, fought against the monster clan Gu God in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, and finally set up a secret realm, sealed countless monsters, and even set up the entire Hundred Thousand Mountains. Under the seal."

"At this point, monsters are not allowed to come out of the Hundred Thousand Mountains."

Shen Lang said, I'm not in the mood to argue with you whether Nanhua belongs to Tianzong or Renzong.

"And just when I arrived in Nanzhao, two demon foxes happened to offend Nanzhao and broke the big formation set up by those two seniors back then. The secret realm is revealed and the seal is removed."

"Nanzhao is a vassal state of our Great Zhou. I couldn't bear to see its life in ruins, so I negotiated with one of the foxes..."

Soon, Shen Lang spoke a little bit about how he fooled me, Qingyao, and the Golden Wolf King.

Some of the people present frowned, some were pensive, some were shocked, and some laughed that Shen Lang was overwhelmed.

All living beings are in various states, all in the court.

"In the end, I negotiated with two-thirds of the monsters. They are willing to establish a country, go overseas to multiply and live, and use the ore there as goods in exchange for the cultural transmission of our Great Zhou and establish diplomatic relations with my Great Zhou."

"To cooperate with the monster race?" The Minister of Rites stood up and said in a deep voice: "Shen Lang, do you know that my human race has grown up to now, how many monsters have blood feuds with?"

"They are all blood-drinking people. Many monsters have blood debts from my human race. You just cooperated with them with such a fluffy sentence? How will other countries think of me!"

"Master Shangshu." Shen Lang said lightly: "If you don't cooperate with them, what will they do? Take revenge on me Da Zhou."

"They are in Nanzhao territory." The Minister of Rites said decisively.

"Nanzhao territory?" Shen Lang shook his head: "Master Shangshu, don't forget that it was Nanhua and Cai Yong who sealed them back then. If they want revenge, they will naturally find the country where Nanhua and Cai Yong are located."

"Indeed, the new dynasty is gone, but will the Taoists and Confucians of my Great Zhou deny these two people?"

"If the past dynasties are gone and the sages are forgotten... In the eyes of my lord, Lao Tzu, Li Er, and Confucius, Kong Qiu, can't be counted as historical figures of my Great Zhou, but should they be counted as foreigners? My lord, you really want to deny it The inheritance of the entire school of thought!"

"You!" The Minister of Rites' face turned pale with anger.

This Shen Lang is completely a mudslide on the court.

I said that there is a problem with the cooperation with the Yaozu. They are in Nanzhao territory, so they should toss Nanzhao, but why do you say that I deny all schools of thought?

Extending from my own words, it seems that I really have this meaning, but this is definitely not my original intention.

"Master Shen." The servant of the Ministry of Rites came out and said loudly: "Those two people are indeed my Da Zhou's, and they will indeed cause trouble for my Da Zhou, I understand that."

"It's good to understand, I Da Zhou is not afraid of these monsters, but where is it? Is there a large army guarding nearby?" Shen Lang replied: "If the monsters go eastward and directly cut into the hinterland of my Central Plains, then people will definitely die. "

"That's just your guess." The Minister of Rites adjusted his mentality, and continued: "Nanzhao can't make those monster races make trouble. I still have time to gather an army in Da Zhou."

"Impossible?" Shen Lang laughed out loud: "In the battle of Tianmen Gorge on the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, [-]% of Nanzhao's [-] troops died, all the monster army's zombie army was wiped out, and all the purchased weapons against monsters were exhausted. Breaking through from the demon clan."

"My lord, don't treat Nanzhao as my Great Zhou. I can handle it, but Nanzhao may not."

"Nanzhao is just a small country. How much hatred do you have against Nanzhao? Do you want to see Nanzhao destroy the country? Don't forget, Nanzhao is a vassal state of my Great Zhou. How do other countries see us if we are dying?"

"Okay, even if you think from Nanzhao's point of view, it can only be a tactic to delay the attack, and you can't really cooperate with the Yaozu." The Minister of Rites put aside Shen Lang's hat.

"Why not?" Shen Lang snorted: "I have been fighting with Rouran for so long, isn't Rouran's blood feud deep? The last time the nations came to court, there was also Rouran's envoy? Why didn't I see your lord?" Rushing up to seek revenge on him, my lord thinks that I am a dignified Da Zhou who bullies the weak and fears the strong?"

"Humans and monsters are naturally different." The Minister of Rites said decisively: "Shen Lang, where have you read all the sage books?"

"Ha, different?" Shen Lang sneered and said, "In the 139th year of the new dynasty, the Xianbei Huns marched into the new dynasty together, and captured countless people. They not only treated those people as slaves, but also as two-legged sheep. What am I talking about? I mean, adults don’t understand, do they?”

"If you meet monsters, you will be killed at most, but what about meeting them?"

"First humiliation, then slavery, and finally to the step of monsters."

"My lord, do you think they are worthy of being human? How different are they from beasts!"

"Okay." Situ Mowen came out and said calmly: "The monster race is no different from ordinary people after evolution. People also have different skin colors and different races. Why bother with this?"

"My Da Zhou is not cooperating with the Yaozu, but exiling them overseas."

"Your Majesty is benevolent, with great grace, imitating the saints, teaching without discrimination, and bestowing cultural inheritance."

"When is it time to repay the injustice, as long as they can abandon evil and do good in the future."

"According to the law of the Great Zhou, their crimes don't necessarily require beheading, just as if they were exiled, imprisoned, and released after serving their sentences for a hundred years."

"Or should all crimes be capital punishment?"

Shen Lang said that all crimes are the death penalty, which he is familiar with...

This old boy Situ is quite knowledgable, once he said a few words, the meaning changed completely, from cooperating to throwing them over there to go to jail.

Minerals or something?They were all used to pay tribute for atonement. According to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there is indeed a saying of spending money to reduce crimes.

Where did those monster races come from? For them, as long as they help them, that's the same thing.

Minister of the Ministry of Rites saluted, since Situ said so, then there is no problem.

To put it simply, he just wanted to be a bitch and set up a torii. This is politics. To put it another way, it is completely different.

"Since there is no objection to the treatment of the Yaozu, then..." Shen Lang smiled triumphantly.

"Wait!" The Seventh Elder hurriedly stood up: "Master Shen, this is still not right. Aren't they just playing white wolves with empty hands? How many people do I need to send to help them? This is all my work." Talent, how can it flow out so easily?"

"Also, if they want to go to the island you mentioned, they have to pass through my territory, right? Just looking at them, how much military expenditure is that?"

"People who are not of my race will have different hearts. Who knows what they will become in the future, there are too many variables."

"If you want to talk about it, it's better to give half of the military expenses to the Mo family, and let the Mo family and the army take action to ensure that none of the monsters killed will be left behind."

The Seventh Elder was upright, with the look of 'I'm thinking about Da Zhou'.

Shen Lang's mouth twitched.

What Liang Zan said was indeed correct, the Seventh Elder was greedy for the materials on those monsters!

"My lord." Shen Lang hurriedly said to the Seventh Elder: "I have an idea, as long as it can be realized, the future manufacturing industry will no longer need to rely on demon cores, but can use renewable resources."

"As long as we use new kinetic energy, why bother to stick to temporary benefits?"

"Those monsters can create countless years of benefits for us!"

"Oh?"

If someone else said that, the Seventh Elder would not believe it, but what Shen Lang said should be true.

Ji Nanxian heaved a sigh of relief. What he was most worried about was that the Seventh Elder was actively incarnating as a main fighter because of his immediate interests.

There are so many monster materials, if not for the imminent Northern Expedition, he would be tempted.

Just like for some dynasties, nomads are a nightmare, but for a dynasty as powerful as the Great Zhou, these are money and experience babies...

"Master Shen." The Minister of the Household Department said to Shen Lang: "What about the military expenses? The Northern Expedition is imminent, and I really can't afford that much money in Da Zhou."

"That's right." Minister of the Ministry of War frowned slightly: "This is not a small expense."

"I have a magic weapon here." Shen Lang took out the secret realm that Cai Yong turned into a ball: "There are still nearly 10 people trapped here."

"What did you say?" Ji Nanxian couldn't calm down: "This place can hold 10 people?"

"Many secret realms are fine." Shen Lang said inexplicably.

"No, this secret realm can be moved!" Ji Nanxian pointed at the ball, his fingers trembling.

"I know what your Majesty is thinking." Shen Lang smiled wryly: "This secret realm can only be used for a limited time, less than a month, at most it is only enough to transport the monster clan to the sea, and it can't even reach the destination. "

"Besides, I don't know if there is any risk in this. Otherwise, I will bring this back as soon as possible, and Rouran will be broken within a month."

The advantages and disadvantages of this magic weapon are obvious. Shen Lang can assure you that as long as he dares to put troops in it, the magic weapon will be broken after the big week, and the soldiers inside will probably die. clean and dry.

If you want to make good use of this, you still have to look at the great luck of me, Qingyao.

Not only that, but this time she has to borrow the air of the emperor again.

Moreover, the monster is contained in it, so it must be stabilized constantly.

The army formation of soldiers is indeed powerful, and it is not in vain to face the same number of higher-level monsters. The disadvantage is that there are not many practitioners, and the golden aura of the army formation cannot maintain the secret realm, and it is a sharp weapon for killing.

"Huh..." Ji Nanxian calmed down.

"The living facilities in this secret realm are complete, and those monsters can live in it for a while." Shen Lang said: "Just send Qingyao to the vicinity of Wu County, release the monsters on the sea, and let them cross the sea by themselves."

"The monsters are all trapped inside, and when the magic weapon is broken, will all the monsters die?" The seventh elder raised his eyebrows: "Isn't this the easiest solution?"

"My lord, the corpse of that monster will also dissipate in the turbulent space." Shen Lang said with black lines all over his head.

"Tsk, it's a pity." The Seventh Elder shook his head.

Qi Guogong said: "Master Shen's idea is very good. Those monsters don't understand anything yet. We can send more people with ideas to find a way to open up there as my territory."

"Didn't you always think about the problem of sea routes before? Humans have to face a lot of troubles when crossing the sea, but if the monster race crosses the sea, there will be less trouble, so our business can also be opened."

"I suggest building a shipyard over there, stationing troops that they can rest assured of, and then gradually controlling them in our hands."
