Daoist Liyue, I live in the Hall of Rebirth!

And taking this opportunity, Ningguang also completely liquidated the extremists in Yinyuan Hall. She had wanted to do this for a long time, but it was not easy for her to do it clearly when it involved beliefs, but now they have stepped on the line. Liquidate who they liquidate.

After this matter was made public, Fools fell into a complete disadvantage diplomatically.

In the end, Beiguo Bank was fined 14000 trillion yuan, and was forced to give up various rights. In recent years, the large and small banks that have been making hostile acquisitions have almost lost all their influence in Liyue.

Since then, Beiguo Bank can only be an ordinary commercial bank honestly, and at most provide some funds and temporary bases for the activities of fools, but more, it can no longer be done.

The Beiguo Bank would not be able to get the money by itself, and Zhidongguo could only pay for it. Zhidong's various industries, which had been developing at full capacity, suddenly stagnated because of the sudden and heavy fine.

The Zhidong Kingdom, which originally invested as much power as it had in its development, had to stop the pace of development in order to solve the social problems caused by economic tension.

The immortals observed everything silently in their respective caves, and had no intention of making a move. As long as the top fools executives of the fools did not end, the immortals would not show up.

However, there was one person who quietly left Liyue when Liyue vented her anger to Zhidong's diplomatic department, and that was Liyue's rock king, Mr. Zhongli.

Mr. Zhongli didn't tell anyone where he was going, but he just told Hu Tao and Shen Ming that he would visit the Seven Kingdoms, catch up with old friends and say hello to new ones.

Hu Tao didn't know Mr. Zhongli's true identity, so he acted normally towards Zhongli's decision, but it was a pity that he couldn't see Mr. Zhongli for a while, and couldn't let him give lectures.

But Shen Ming knew, could he not know where Mr. Zhongli had gone? It was almost obvious.

Mr. Zhongli came back after only two or three days of traveling, which surprised Hu Tao, who thought he would have to wait for a long time, but it was a good thing after all.

A few months later, as another batch of merchant ships from the Winter Kingdom came to Liyue, gossip and rumors about the Winter Kingdom also spread.

It is said that a few months ago, a super earthquake occurred in the Winter Palace where the Queen of Ice is located. The ice and snow flew together, and the vibration was strong, which directly caused three-fifths of the Winter Palace to collapse.

Many extremely precious items were buried underground one after another, and even many top-level laboratories were completely destroyed by the earthquake, causing incalculable losses, which made the already tense economy due to fines even worse.

Afterwards, the Ice Queen announced that she would not be in power for a month, and would be temporarily replaced by the executive officers of the Fools. This made the people of Zhidong a little flustered, but after a period of time, they found that it was no different from usual, and calmed down again.

A month later, Ice God returned to his former appearance, and everything was operating as usual.

But whether it's really all right, who can say for sure, hehe...

This matter has been circulating secretly, and no one knows where the source of the rumor is, and it has become like this.

......

After Zhongli came back, Shen Ming once asked Zhongli how the situation was.

Zhongli did not answer directly, but asked a question.

"I once saw a businessman in an alley encouraging his employees, saying, your work is done, you can rest."

"And I have guarded Liyue for thousands of years, and I am thinking, has my work been completed?"

Chapter 94 The Monarch's Remuneration

Today is another beautiful day, the sun is shining and the streets are full of people.

"Oh, I'm exhausted." Shen Ming lay down on the sofa as soon as he opened the door, not wanting to move.

"Where is this? And it's rare to have business, so you can't just leave it there." Hu Tao closed the door and nestled on the sofa with Shen Ming.

There was a new death job last night, it was an old man from a wealthy family who passed away.

This time, nothing happened, just a normal death, a normal cremation, and the urn was returned to the family.

There were no ghosts, and no man-made disputes.

That's right, where did all the grievances and sorrows come from? Most of the people are just ordinary people. The people I met this time had a very open-minded attitude.

Although the package recommended by Hu Tao has not been sold, but his job is very smooth. For this old man who is dying, the children are not stingy with money.

After a night of work, the old man's children left Hu Tao and Shen Ming to have breakfast before letting them go back.

But after working all night, it also made Shen Ming quite troubled, no, when he returned to the Pastoral Hall early in the morning, he wished he could bury himself in the sofa.

Hu Tao is not much better than Shen Ming, but she is more happy, she is really enjoying this work, so it is not a big deal to be tired, she is still full of energy.

It has been three months since the last incident of the Winter Kingdom and the Fools, and it has only taken three months from the excitement at the beginning to the return to calm now.

After all, it was just a plan, and before it could be fully implemented, it would be scrapped halfway. For the people of Liyue, they only knew that a high-ranking official in Liyue was an undercover agent of the Zhidong Kingdom.

After knowing that the Beiguo Bank and the fools had been punished accordingly, Liyue's angry voice gradually diminished. People still have to live, and it is impossible to pay attention to this matter all the time.

Everything seems to be the same as before, but some things have changed.

On the streets of Liyue, the banks that had been annexed by Beiguo Bank reopened, but most of them were under the banner of Ningguang.

Most of the original shop owners lost their ambition to open again after being swallowed up by fools, or even the shop was demolished, and they had no savings to start over.

At this time, Ning Guang came forward and bought the bank that could not continue to open at a fairly reasonable price, and turned it into his own property.

In contrast, the business of Beiguo Bank is much more miserable, and it seems that it has basically become another temporary stronghold for fools. Besides, there are basically no people in Liyue to save money.

The reason is that Ningguang seized the opportunity and took advantage of the blow to Beiguo Bank's reputation to vigorously promote the local bank in Liyue, so that most of the people in Liyue's country and even some foreign businessmen had their money deposited there. Liyue native land.

Although Ningguang advertised the Liyue Bank, anyone who knew a little bit about the top-level structure would not know that most of the banks and related industries are in the hands of Ningguang.

Why this year's Liyue Seven Stars respect the power of heaven is because Ningguang relied on her business sense and keenness to make her industry stronger and stronger, which has surpassed the other six by a large margin.

For ordinary people, the only feeling is that the stores of Beiguo Bank are gradually desolate and no one goes there, and some newly opened savings points in Liyue have increased.

Although Hu Tao and Shen Ming were the first-hand witnesses of this incident, they didn't have a general idea of ​​how much the Zhidong Kingdom had paid. Until one day, when the two passed by the office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, they found that there had been Not many fools left.

On the surface, it seems that the Zhidong Kingdom has given up the erosion of Liyue, and given up the all-round suppression of diplomacy, politics and military affairs. Even the members of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are left with only a few.

With just such a few people, if there is any conflict again, when fighting for the interests of the country, I am afraid that the voice of Liyue's diplomatic corps cannot be called out at all.

It seems that there are fools, or there are some problems in the Zhidong Kingdom, which caused the Zhidong Kingdom to turn its attention back to the country.

However, Shen Ming has doubts about this. Rather than saying that Zhidong voluntarily gave up his interests in Liyue due to domestic reasons, it is better to say that he reached an agreement with Bingshen and Zhongli.

Because judging from the emperor's performance after returning, it seems that he has already had the idea of ​​resigning, and combined with the plot of the emperor's invitation to Xian Dianyi, the contract to end all contracts is likely to be signed at this time.

"Shen Ming."

In the afternoon, Zhong Li found Shen Ming and asked him to come to the study.

Shen Ming closed the door of the study.

"Dijun, I'm here."

"I called you this time to give you what I promised." Zhong Li opened his eyes, and his golden pupils looked at Shen Ming.

"The promised thing?" Shen Ming was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly remembered, could it be...

Zhongli raised one hand, and a bright yellow light rose from his body, gradually resonating with Shen Ming.

Shen Ming suddenly felt that he had been grinding for a long time but couldn't see the growing elemental power. At this moment, he was lifting violently like a rocket into the sky.

It was slow at first, as if laying a foundation, and then the speed began to increase, and after a few minutes, it was so fast that Shen Ming felt in a trance.

He was obviously at this level just now, but he didn't know where he went in the next second.

From the five-month level that Shen Ming himself had at the beginning, to the one-year level, and then to the two-year level...

Three years, four years, five years...

It wasn't until the six-year level that it finally stagnated.

Shen Ming felt the surging power in his body in a daze.

Just by moving a finger, the elemental power will spew out uncontrollably, almost breaking a vase.

"Dijun, didn't you say you won't help me improve my elemental power?"

"At that time, it was no different than today. The form of the international competition had changed, and the way of rewarding had to change." Zhong Li said with his eyes closed, sighing, "It's true that doing this is to encourage growth, but you must know that I... don't have many people in the world anymore." It's bit time."

Shen Ming was shocked.

Dijun, there is still some time before I invite Xian Dianyi, don't say it so bleakly.

"Next is the name."

As soon as the emperor waved his hand, a projection appeared in front of the two of them. In the projection was Shen Ming's life in this world.

From Qingce Zhuang's fortune, to suppressing water ghosts, to deploying formations in Guyun Pavilion, and uncovering the conspiracy of fools, all the deeds have gone through, and finally the moment when Shen Ming and Zhongli meet in this study is fixed.

"This is a contract, a contract that even I would not easily promise."

"I have established a connection between your name and heaven and earth. From now on, your name will be engraved between heaven and earth, and reciting your name will be known by heaven and earth, and will be assisted by heaven and earth."

A golden contract appeared in the void, and was divided into two parts in Shen Ming's eyes, one part disappeared into the air, and the other part entered Shen Ming's body.

A golden light flashed in Shen Ming's eyes, the pupils of his eyes turned golden, and his body moved forward slowly, saluting to heaven and earth.

"Shen Ming, you have to remember that today you have received help from the heaven and the earth, and when the sky and the earth are in trouble tomorrow, you should stand up."

"No flinching."

In the study room, Dijun's deep words echoed, and his voice was long.

One month before the ceremony of Chapter 95

Recently, many foreign businessmen and tourists have come to Liyue.

"There are so many people, and they are all from other countries." Hu Tao covered the sun with her hands and looked around on tiptoe.

"I've expected it a long time ago. After all, it's almost time to invite Xian Dianyi, and it will only take a month or two." Shen Ming accompanied Hu Tao calmly.

The two of them came out to buy materials for making coffins and related tools. Although Hu Tao always complained that the business of the Changsheng Hall was not good, it was just not prosperous enough, and there were still two to three businesses every month.

It's just that these businesses are all done by other shop assistants in the Hall of Death.

And Hu Tao hadn't purchased related materials for several weeks. This time when he caught Shen Ming, he dragged him out to buy things.

As soon as he came out, Walnut found that it was different from usual, that is, in the past few days, foreign businessmen and tourists suddenly increased.

And it was around this time in previous years, just before and after the opening of the Xian Dian Yi, not only Liyue's businessmen, but foreign businessmen would also come here to explore business opportunities during this time period.

After all, if you look at it according to the usual invitation to Xian Dianyi, the most important part of it is that Emperor Yanwang will personally come down to guide the general business opportunities and direction for the next year.

This is not only for local businessmen, but even foreign businessmen will benefit greatly, so many foreigners come to Liyue one or two months earlier, especially those who specialize in traveling between their own countries and Liyue trade routes.

As time goes by, this ceremony has a double meaning. On the one hand, it is a local traditional festival in Liyue, and on the other hand, it has become a slightly international business circle gathering.

With the meaning of a traditional festival and its very commercial nature, the combination of these two things has produced a wonderful change, that is, tourists also come.

After years of holding, Xiandianyi at this time has become a comprehensive festival integrating celebration, commerce, and tourism. For people from other countries, Xiandianyi is more attractive than the Sea Lantern Festival to some extent .

"Wow, that, that, is that a Monde?" Hu Tao suddenly saw a pair of obvious foreigners eating happily beside the snack street.

"Are they also attracted by Xian Dianyi?"

Shen Ming looked in the direction of Hu Tao's finger, yo, aren't these siblings who are regular customers at Zhongyuan Chop Suey.

"No, haha, you finally got it right once, but it's a pity that they didn't come here in the past few days. They came here long ago and often eat here."

"Are you here often? I don't know you." Hu Tao said strangely.

"I don't know each other, but I often eat here, so I am quite familiar with them." Shen Ming said, "Come on, let's take a look."

"Ah, wait, I remember we are here to buy materials." Hu Tao.

"Know that you are still walking towards the snack street?" Shen Ming glared at Hu Tao, "Do you think your steps are going to stop a bit?"

"...Who knew that I came here just by turning around." Hu Tao followed up with a straight face.

The Meng brothers over there also noticed Shen Ming and Hu Tao.

"Hey, Fletcher, how are you doing recently?" Shen Ming asked.

"It's not good, I'm getting fat." Fletcher squeezed her stomach, "Liyue's food is really tempting, ah, my figure."

Shen Ming glanced behind him, and found that her younger brother Jerry was looking at the vegetables in the bowl with hesitation on his face.

"Your brother is still not used to offal?" Shen Ming whispered to Fletcher.

"It's still the same." Fletcher shrugged helplessly, and then saw Hu Tao standing next to Shen Ming, "This is... your little girlfriend?"

"Just... just friends! No girls, no kids!" Hu Tao.

"Oh?" Fletcher frowned, carefully looked at Hu Tao's reaction, then covered her mouth, and smiled meaningfully, "Hey, I understand, I understand."

"......"walnut.

"Recently, I saw a lot of Mond people coming here. How about it, did you miss your hometown?" Shen Ming said with a smile.
