Chapter 1567: Everyone Gathers Firewood to Make a High Flame

~8 min read 1,597 words

His heart felt heavy.

Even a heavyweight figure like the Heavenly Palace Metropolitan Envoy rushed to White Fur Mountain; what kind of magic does the secret array on the mountain have? The Xiaoyao Sect has not been easy to establish for more than a hundred years, so don't let it be folded in his generation!

Amidst the undercurrents of all parties, and amidst the hustle and bustle of Tianshui City, half a month passed quickly.

This was a month when the news of Tianshui City's eastward expansion spread fully, and it was also half a month when heroes from all walks of life in the Yao Nation showed their supernatural powers and poured into the capital.

He Lingchuan even heard that a large number of friendly people and foreign merchants also rushed to Tianshui City, wanting to get a share of the wealth feast.

Also, because the "Black Armored Army" had been appearing everywhere on the Glittering Gold Plain, a large number of Yao people withdrew to the country. Many of these wealthy people, upon returning to the country, happened to catch up with the soaring price of residential land in the new city of Tianshui. Seeing that this opportunity was rare, they immediately invested all the money they earned abroad.

Today's Tianshui City is not just for the people of Tianshui City.

Everyone gathers firewood to make a high flame.

From top to bottom, from officials to civilians, everyone's enthusiasm was like firewood poured with oil, making this fire in the new city burn half the sky red.

There is opportunity here.

There is wealth here.

There is an opportunity to get rich overnight here.

The money of Tianshui City, and even the money from the surrounding areas, poured in, flying toward the national treasury like snowflakes.

It was really like what was said in the storybook; the gold and silver in the national treasury couldn't be piled up; the rope strings for bundling money couldn't bear the burden and broke.

How many years has it been since the national treasury of the Yao Nation and the inner palace of the Yao King were so full? The construction of the new city is also in full swing. Although the timber has not been raised and the pavilions have not been seen, it is still a piece of yellow mud land, but the leveling and planning of the ground have been put on the agenda. Whenever someone comes to step on the plate and watch the progress, the propagandist stationed in the locality by the government will take them to visit everywhere:

"This is the workshop, this is the water canal, this is the lake, this is the shop street lined up along the water bank. When the time comes, you can stroll while riding a boat, not tired, and then go ashore to buy if you see something you like..."

"Is there still nothing?" It just rained, and it is said that the place where the river canal will be built in the future is now only muddy mud. Walking over it, one step deep and one step shallow, it is quite like transplanting rice seedlings in the field. The only bit of green in the field of vision is the grass roots that were not dug up under the big stones.

"Don't look at the yellow soil facing the sky here. In seven or eight months—no, five or six months, the wide and straight bluestone street will be finished, and the residential land bought by everyone can also lay a foundation and show a prototype. Hey, such a big project, what's wrong with waiting for a year or two? Can't you wait, or can't he wait?"

If there are still people who don't believe it, the propagandist will take them to see the government offices and schools:

"Look, the government office is almost finished! Look, walking here in order are the town warehouse, the wood yard, the money warehouse, the wine warehouse, and the farthest building is the capital works courtyard... The outer walls are built, see?"

"Eh, where is this again?"

"Medicine Bureau."

"What about there?"

"The Heavenly God Temple that is about to be built!"

Asking here, the person who asked the question was also satisfied. The government offices and various public facilities have been built, and the rise of the new city is a nail in the coffin, just needing a little time.

And Tianshui City during this period of time is bustling with streets, low prices, and almost everyone is as happy as the New Year; families that used to quarrel endlessly over trivial matters are now alive and twisted into a rope, thinking in one place, exerting force in one place, and even mothers look at their own bear children as pleasing to the eye, chicken flying and dog jumping turned into mother kindness and child filial piety; the topic of the whole family every day cannot be separated from the residential land of the new city, cannot be separated from where the land price rises fast, cannot be separated from how much money can still be borrowed, whether it is enough to buy an extra piece of land in the new city...

The restaurants and inns in Tianshui City are even more crowded, and people are drinking and dreaming day and night.

The price of restaurants has doubled, and the price of inn rooms has risen by three times, but it is still hard to find a table or a room.

He Lingchuan passed through the street at night, seeing the lights bright on both sides, the singing and dancing, and the tourists weaving on the street, and the prosperity of all industries, and he couldn't help but sigh at this prosperity like cooking oil on fire.

"The foundation laid by the Yao Nation for two hundred years is really good. Any other place on the Glittering Gold Plain does not have such a high frequency of handling affairs." Although he was mentally prepared, the speed of appreciation of residential land and the fanaticism of people's pursuit still greatly exceeded He Lingchuan's estimation.

He reported the progress of the Youhu Villa to the palace twice, and the Yao King was smiling, visibly happy.

For He Lingchuan, who suggested the eastward expansion of the new city at the beginning, the Yao King also showed rare generosity, rewarding him high-profile, but not giving magic weapons, but opening several exclusive commodity sales rights to Yangshan again.

With this sales right, taxes are also reduced a lot.

He Lingchuan thanked him grandly, but the Soul-Sucking Mirror in his arms hummed: "Old goods, mouth favor but no real benefit. Give some sales rights, in the future, heh, hehe!"

As one of the close ministers, You Rongzhi reminded the Yao King twice: "The Liang Master and the temple seem to be unhappy recently, what do you think...?"

He mentioned it tactfully, which is actually that the Heavenly God is a bit dissatisfied recently. Even You Rongzhi felt that the Yao King was not respectful enough to the Heavenly God recently.

In the past, the temple always came to the Yao King to make requests, saying that this place needs to be coordinated today, and that place needs to be rebuilt tomorrow. Although the Heavenly God and the temple officials are not easy to serve, having communication is always a good thing.

Unlike now, the Liang Master himself hasn't looked for the Yao King for more than half a month, at most sending subordinate temple officials to do some work handover with Yao officials.

You Rongzhi felt a little uneasy, and he felt that this was a bit dangerous.

But when he mentioned it for the second time, the Yao King waved his hand, not caring: "What are you afraid of? When the national treasury is fuller, we will prepare some food and weapons and go to the Glittering Gold Plain to fight ten or eight battles, and the Heavenly God will be satisfied."

He knew very well what the Heavenly God wanted.

As long as the Great Yao is strong and the treasury is full, these are not things!

Those evil spirits, he will definitely make up for the Heavenly God when he turns back.

The Yao King was in high spirits, and You Rongzhi didn't want to say anything more. He knew the monarch's temper too well; at this time, he must not touch the bad luck.

That night, the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce in Jucheng sent two messages:

The Allied Forces have been smooth recently, breaking through the enemy like a bamboo, capturing three major towns of Bixia in a row, faintly pointing at the capital.

When the time comes, the world will work together. Today, the Allied Forces are already the dominant side, and support for it comes from all directions. On the contrary, Bixia has changed from an aggressor to the weak side now, and half of its territory has been occupied. But after reading all the materials, He Lingchuan believes that there are still variables in this war, and Bixia still has a chance to turn the tables.

This variable is the Yao Nation.

The recent Yao national treasury has gradually become full, and the Yao King's actions finally don't have to be measured by income and expenditure, and he is in a good mood, so he waved his pen and gave Bixia a steady stream of money, food, and weapon support, and two mercenary groups "voluntarily" aided Bixia, enthusiastically entering the country.
