Chapter 1304: Discussion at Tongfu Inn, everyone's decision (2/5, please subscribe)
Zhu Wushi: "Serves you right!"
Zhu Youjian: "Can't you say something nice?"
Zhu Wushi: "No!"
Zhu Youjian: "That's not right, there were quite a few Princes Xin in history."
Su Xiao: "But the one that the current dynasty would pay so much attention to must be the tomb of the Prince Xin of the current dynasty, right?"
Bai Zhantang: "What are you guys talking about? What Prince Xin, what Qing army, why can't I understand?"
Zhu Yuanzhang: "You'll know if you look at the History of Ming."
Bai Zhantang: "Okay."
Bai Zhantang: "No way? The Qing army entered the pass?!! How could this happen! The Great Ming was clearly so strong!"
Su Xiao: "Your side is an alternate history world, it might not happen, don't worry too much."
Bai Zhantang: "How can I not worry about something like this? I'm logging off, I need to discuss this with everyone; this matter cannot be taken lightly. If the Qing army enters the pass, given that situation, we might not be able to enjoy our old age."
Tongfu Inn.
"Something big has happened!"
Bai Zhantang suddenly exclaimed, drawing everyone's attention.
"What is it now?" Tong Xiangyu rolled her eyes, "Don't scare the guests."
Li Dazui was speechless: "Manager, it's already closing time, where would there be any guests?"
"You talk too much, watch out for your wages." Tong Xiangyu was speechless, "Old Bai, what exactly happened?"
"I told you about the chat group before, right?"
Tong Xiangyu nodded: "Yes. What about it?"
Speaking of this, her eyes suddenly lit up, "Could it be that there's more delicious food? Don't tell me, that glowing food is truly mouth-watering."
Li Dazui's eyes shone: "Old Bai, don't forget me, we're good buddies."
"And us!"
Lu Licentiate and Guo Furong also came over, full of anticipation.
Bai Zhantang was speechless: "What are you guys thinking about, only knowing how to eat every day!"
"Old Bai, food is the most important thing for the people. We think about eating every day, there's nothing wrong with that, right?" Lu Licentiate shook his head and said.
Bai Zhantang: "There's nothing wrong with that. But today, we're not talking about food."
"Tch!"
Hearing this, everyone started to disperse.
Bai Zhantang said: "This matter concerns the world, it's very important."
Guo Furong was surprised: "Concerns the world? Since when do you care about world affairs, Old Bai? The officials in the court are smart enough, it's not our turn as commoners to worry about world affairs."
"If I could, I wouldn't want to either." Bai Zhantang sighed, moved his thoughts, exchanged for the History of Ming, and handed it to everyone.
"What is this?"
"History of Ming? Old Bai, you have some nerve, you dare to write history?"
Tong Xiangyu was startled and said: "Keep your voices down. If we get caught, none of us will be able to run."
Everyone observed carefully for a while, and after confirming there were no outsiders, they breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Dazui hurriedly ran to close the door.
"This naturally isn't history I wrote, it's the History of Ming from another world." Bai Zhantang whispered, "You guys take a look and see if my worries are justified."
Lu Licentiate nodded and began to flip through the history book.
He was the most educated one here, so naturally, he was the one to read it.
"Yongli reign?"
"Prince Xin Zhu Youjian ascended the throne?"
"Qing army entered the pass?"
The further he flipped, the more shocked Lu Licentiate became.
"Are you saying you're worried that the Qing army will enter the pass on our side too?"
Bai Zhantang nodded: "Yes. I originally thought it would be fine if we just lived our plain lives. Now that I see this, it won't work. If the Qing army enters the pass, can we still enjoy our old age?"
Li Dazui, Guo Furong, and the others also gathered around. Seeing the descriptions in the book, their faces turned pale, and they shook their heads repeatedly upon hearing this.
"This won't do, we have to think of a way." Li Dazui looked at Bai Zhantang, "Old Bai, if the Qing army really enters the pass, won't our little lives be gone?"
Tong Xiangyu's teeth chattered: "Old Bai, is this Qing army really that cruel?"
"I don't know about our world. In other worlds, as written in the book, they really killed people for thousands of miles in the Central Plains." Bai Zhantang's expression was serious, and his back felt cold.
Tong Xiangyu: "Then what should we do! If we really let them enter the pass, couldn't we all become ghosts under their blades?"
"Yes." Lu Licentiate sighed, "By then, there won't be any peaceful place left, and our days will likely be over."
Bai Zhantang said: "The immortals in the group said it might not happen."
... Please give flowers.
Lu Licentiate shook his head: "Old Bai, don't think about winning before thinking about losing. You have to think about the worst in everything to prevent it from happening. Otherwise, if you wait until it happens, it will be too late to prepare."
Tong Xiangyu nodded: "Licentiate is right. If you wait until the last minute to pray to Buddha, it will be too late."
"Old Bai, you can't just ignore us." Li Dazui said, "Aren't you in contact with the immortals now? Think of a way?"
Bai Zhantang: "I've asked. There are two ways: one, contract the world to an immortal and let him govern our world; the other is for us to cultivate as well. By then, if the Qing army enters the pass, will they be able to defeat us?"
"But that costs a lot of points." Tong Xiangyu hesitated.
As soon as money was mentioned, she started calculating in her heart.
Li Dazui: "Manager, that's the art of longevity, do you really want to give it up?"
"Easier said than done, the one paying the points will be Old Bai." Tong Xiangyu snorted, "You just wait to cultivate. You don't have to pay back the points."
Li Dazui: "Manager, I can help plant spiritual herbs. Didn't Old Bai say that as long as we have a cave heaven, we can plant spiritual herbs to exchange for points. Then we'll have a steady stream of money."
"This kind of thing is clearly a good thing, why did you guys think for so long?"
Tong Xiangyu sneered: "You're still young. Don't you have to think before doing big things? You're the one who's in such a hurry!"
She looked at Bai Zhantang and asked: "Old Bai, what do you think we should do?"
"I think both can be implemented together." Bai Zhantang pondered, "We don't have the ability to govern the world, so it's better to contract the world to an immortal. Firstly, we can sit and wait for the benefits; secondly, we can seek welfare for the people of the world; thirdly, we can harvest points from the contract to buy cultivation techniques so that we can all benefit."
"Is that immortal reliable?" Although Tong Xiangyu is usually stingy, she is actually a warm-hearted person.
If doing this would plunge the people of the world into misery, she would certainly not agree.
"That immortal is the Taizu of the Great Ming, do you think he's reliable?"
"Great Ming Taizu?" ===== CHAPTER 1305 =====
benefit, and secondly, it can also seek welfare for the people of the world, and thirdly, it can also harvest contract points to buy cultivation techniques, so that we can all benefit."
"Is that immortal who made the contract reliable?" Although Tong Xiangyu is usually stingy, she is actually a warm-hearted person.
If doing this would plunge the people of the world into misery and suffering, she would certainly not agree.
"That immortal is the founding Emperor of the Great Ming. Do you think he's reliable?"
"The Great Ming founding Emperor?"
