Chapter 1628: Red-Hot to Purple

"Heavenly Gods are always stingy; Naluo Heaven suddenly being generous is mostly because there is profit to be made." He Chunhua's connection with Naluo Heaven wasn't a matter of one or two days, or one or two years; He Lingchuan's body still carried the mark of Naluo Heaven in his consciousness. In the past, when He Chunhua was fighting alone in Black Water City, he suffered no small amount of hardship and fatigue; how many times did Naluo Heaven take action? Over the past two or three years, the Heavenly God suddenly increased his investment generously, which shows that he had set his sights on He Chunhua's potential and determined that he was worth investing in.

Now He Lingchuan's understanding of Heavenly Gods far exceeded the past, knowing that there were cliques, ranks, and layers among Heavenly Gods, and main gods like Naluo Heaven were often surrounded by a large group of gods.

It could also be said that each main god formed an ecological circle, distributed in order from the main god downwards.

This point was similar to the human world.

Therefore, as a group leader, every major decision of Naluo Heaven seemed to be decided by himself, but in fact, he had to be responsible to the gods behind him and could not act completely arbitrarily.

Without Beijia as a backing, Heavenly Gods other than the Profound Void crowd found it actually not easy to cultivate their own power in the human world. This shows that Naluo Heaven's move to use resources and help He Chunhua end the civil war was carefully considered and also revealed urgency.

He Lingchuan said to himself: "What does he want to do?"

"Ah, who?" The mirror asked, "Are you asking about Naluo Heaven, or He Chunhua?"

He Lingchuan looked out the window. On this rainy and snowy night, there was only boundless darkness between heaven and earth.

"Both. He Chunhua has ascended the throne as King, and his long-cherished wish has come true. And then?"

"Can't he just guard the throne?"

"Naluo Heaven is so kind, helping him ascend the throne for free?" He Lingchuan shook his head, "People who offer sacrifices to gods have a contractual relationship with the gods. He Chunhua has achieved his goal, so he must fulfill his original promise. Therefore, his subsequent actions will inevitably be partly to satisfy the requirements of the Heavenly God, which is worth our key attention."

The mirror asked him: "Why pay attention to them?"

"Naluo Heaven's performance is inseparable from the turmoil in the God Realm. We know too little about the situation in the other world and can only make reverse inferences from the changes in the human world." He Lingchuan analyzed, "I even suspect that the less and less faith and evil energy collected in the Flash Gold Plain has also forced those gods to turn their targets to the west and increase their investment in the Shen Nation just established by He Chunhua."

"In the past, this might not have been the best choice; after all, Beijia was right next door." Capable and bad-tempered, who wouldn't be afraid of such a neighbor? "But Heavenly Gods cultivating forces in the human world is not like planting crops; planting melons gets melons, planting beans gets beans; the greatest possibility is that it's like fetching water with a bamboo basket, the people they want to support can't be supported, but those they don't want to support grow like wild grass."

"So in the end, they have to settle for it?" The mirror laughed, "It's amazing that there's a He Chunhua who can emerge. Naluo Heaven is worthy of being the God of Fate, and he has some luck himself."

"Yes, Naluo Heaven wants to find someone stronger than He Chunhua; I don't know how long he'll have to wait." He Lingchuan also said, "Looking at their anxious performance, the chaos in the God Realm probably makes them unable to wait."

"That is to say, the Shen Nation under Naluo Heaven's control won't be restless?"

"The Yuan Nation was weak and poor, and for many years it was trapped in civil strife; He Chunhua finally managed to replace it. Look at the one thing he did before he ascended the throne, which was to loot the Yuan capital, and you know how short of money and grain he was."

He Chunhua fought to the death with Dong Hao Ming; although he gritted his teeth and held on to victory, it was also a case of killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred, with the people poor and the wealth exhausted. Therefore, he had to ask the wealthy official families for money.

He killed until blood flowed like a river in the Yuan capital; on one hand, it was to eliminate future troubles, and on the other hand, it was to scrape every drop of fat.

He Chunhua knew better than anyone how inefficient the Yuan Court was and how corrupt the officials were. Most of the wealth of the Yuan Nation was concentrated in the hands of these officials.

Slaughtering them with the prestige of a great victory, the new country would have reserve funds for operation.

However, during Dong Hao Ming's occupation of the Yuan capital, he had already plowed through the capital once, and the money and grain he scraped were all used for the war. He Chunhua didn't get the first soup, and the wealth of the Yuan capital was diluted a lot.

"Therefore, the most important thing for He Chunhua right now is to recuperate and restore the people's strength—it just so happens that the Imperial Flowing Nectar erupts frequently, and the spiritual energy in the human world is rising, which is a great opportunity for the new country." He Lingchuan sighed softly, "I hope he has concentration and is not completely swayed by Naluo Heaven. Otherwise, this human world will be a purgatory for the people of the Shen Nation!"

But he understood that the Shen Nation replacing Yuan was far from the end, and it was likely the beginning of a new round of variables in the west.

He Chunhua could not be underestimated, although he was only a King of a small country.

Afterwards, He Lingchuan opened the second letter.

This one was longer, mainly Ding Zuodong reporting the recent situation of the Yangshan Archipelago.

Every seven to ten days, the Yangshan Archipelago and the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce on Flash Gold would make a flying report to He Lingchuan.

Actually, how should one describe Yangshan's recent business? It was red-hot to purple!

Because the Mou Nation placed a large number of orders, not only purchasing a large amount of medicine, weapons, and protective gear from Yangshan, but also negotiating several exclusive big deals with Yangshan, involving twenty-six categories. You know, the Mou Nation's domestic weapon casting really needed catalysts like Weiyin Agent, but they were always sought after but not obtained, because it was only produced in Beijia and the Yao Nation.

This kind of key material controlled by the state was not sold to the Mou Nation by the Yao Nation even now, but He Lingchuan had long been the exclusive agent for foreign merchants of Weiyin Agent, and the Yao Court, in order to find ways to make money for the Heavenly Water eastern expansion project, had been frantically sweeping goods over the past few months, purchasing not only Weiyin Agent but also a massive amount of high-quality assets.

When the Mou Nation learned of this news, they came to Yangshan to do business.

Qing Yang, as the Regent of the Yao Nation, had many opinions on this and mentioned it several times in the morning court. Although the Yao Nation didn't sell it itself, the Mou Nation could still transfer key materials from the Yangshan Archipelago, and the Mou Nation was still fighting Beijia.

Rounding up, it was the Yao Nation selling key materials to Beijia's opponent; it would be strange if Qing Yang and Beijia didn't have opinions.

However, the Yao Nation did not abolish the most-favored-nation treatment of the Yangshan Archipelago for the time being; firstly, He Lingchuan was the backbone of the Heavenly Water eastern expansion project and was on the front line against Qing Yang, so the Yao King had to appropriately concede some benefits to him; secondly, He Lingchuan judged that the Yao King also wanted to use this matter as a bargaining chip to negotiate with Beijia in the future.

The Yao Nation was no longer obedient to Beijia.

From this perspective, it was not easy for He Lingchuan to continue selling Weiyin Agent, and the pressure and risks he bore were not small, so the price was naturally not cheap. ===== CHAPTER 1629 =====
