Chapter 678

Zhao Kuangyin: "【Video】 In half a month, the Daoist Lord's temple was built."

Su Xiao: "Good guy, Old Zhao, your execution is top-notch. Such a large temple was built in just half a month; it must have cost a lot of money, right?"

Zhao Kuangyin: "My Great Song has nothing else, but we have plenty of money!"

Zhu Yuanzhang: "That sounds like a wealthy landlord; no taste."

Zhao Kuangyin: "Emperor Ming, you are too poor, don't be sour! I just said I wanted to build a temple, and the ministers started donating money, donating over ten million strings of cash directly!"

Zhu Yuanzhang: "Corrupt officials!"

Zhu Youjian: "They should all be skinned and stuffed with straw!"

Zhu Wushi: "Well said."

Zhao Kuangyin: "Our Song Dynasty is different from your Ming Dynasty; we implement high salaries to foster honesty."

Zhu Yuanzhang: "And has it fostered honesty?"

Zhao Kuangyin: "... Alright, human greed is endless; high salaries to foster honesty simply doesn't work. Sigh..."

Zhao Kuangyin: "The harsh laws you implemented are useless too; they are so strict, yet officials are still corrupt. This official governance is truly the most troublesome thing in a dynasty."

Zhu Yuanzhang: "That's true. My head hurts just thinking about it. Let's talk about something happy!"

Zhao Kuangyin: "Then let's talk about the temple! After the temple was built, the people who donated money were rejuvenated. Isn't that magical?"

Zhu Yuanzhang: "It has that function too?"

Su Xiao: "Brother Taixuan, what's going on? @Zhang Taixuan, you aren't still playing, are you?"

Zhang Taixuan: "Where would I have so much leisure to play every day?"

Su Xiao: "Hehe, really?"

Zhang Taixuan: "Speaking of this, it's actually being managed by Yushi and Annie."

Umaru: "Who is Yushi? Why haven't I heard of her?"

Huang Rong: "Of course you haven't heard of her; she is a new angel created by my husband using the Angel Rebirth Pool, specifically in charge of the wind and rain of the Three Realms."

Su Xiao: "What about that golden dragon? You didn't eat it, did you?"

Umaru: "How cruel."

Su Xiao: "Exactly, you didn't even call me to eat dragon meat!! 【Drooling】"

Miyamizu Mitsuha: "... You guys are too terrifying. The golden dragon isn't dead; it's just that the guy is too lazy and sleeps all day. As there are more and more humans in the Taixuan World, if the wind and rain only cycle on their own, it's easy for problems to occur. That's why my husband chose a new person to preside over this matter."

Su Xiao: "..."

Hu Yifei: "Good, good!"

Yao Yue: "Such a lazy dragon, shouldn't the Daoist Lord discipline it?"

Zhang Taixuan: "No need. Divine beasts are different from humans; their growth period is very long. During the growth period, they will all use deep sleep to increase their strength; this is unavoidable. Rather than punishing them, it's better to let the angels do a little more work."

Gabriel: "Angels feel offended. So angels are just the most suitable workers to be exploited?"

Zhang Taixuan: "That's exactly right!"

Gabriel: "..."

Kikyo: "Little Gabriel, don't compare these reborn angels to yourself. For them, having things to do is the most comfortable thing; otherwise, they would suspect that they have fallen out of favor and that their master doesn't like them."

Xiaobai: "Yes, my husband arranged work for her, and she doesn't know how happy she is. Now, she has already gone to the A Chinese Odyssey world with Sun Wukong to subdue the original dragon race and organize the divine official organization in charge of wind and rain."

Zhong Suqiu: "Can the new angels beat the dragon race over there?"

Wanwan: "Do they even need to fight? Angels represent the Daoist Lord. If the dragon race over there is sensible, they will absolutely not resist. Besides, there's Sun Wukong; his strength is still quite good."

Jin Chanzi: "Rest assured, those dragon races are the most docile; they have long known about the Daoist Lord and would absolutely not dare to resist. Besides, I'm still here; just say the word if needed. If the dragon race resists, it's just the right time for them to taste my iron fist. 【Eager to try】"

Ye Hei: "Good guy, the Master is still so violent!"

Jin Chanzi: "A leopard cannot change its spots; there's no help for it."

Zhu Yuanzhang: "It seems the construction of the temple on my side also needs to be put on the agenda."

Zhao Kuangyin: "Remember to pass down the Nine Great Divine Mantras; that thing is too useful. Once the common people recite the mantra, they will know the Daoist Lord's divine powers, and the construction speed will increase many times over."

Zhu Yuanzhang: "You actually passed down the Nine Great Divine Mantras too?"

Zhao Kuangyin: "Of course, I have decided to change. Valuing civil over military is not a good thing; I want to be proficient in both, to create a transcendent Great Song. The stronger the people, the better; anyway, I can hold them down since I've joined the chat group!"

Li Shimin: "I saw you valuing civil over military and originally thought you didn't have much courage. Today, it seems you have quite a lot of guts."

Zhao Kuangyin: "This isn't a question of courage, but a question of reality. If you, Li Er, had experienced the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms like I did, you would only have one path to take—limit the military power of generals; otherwise, I don't know how long the chaos would continue!"

Zhu Yuanzhang: "That's true. The era before you was too chaotic."

Li Shimin: "The Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms were indeed a mess; the chaos of military generals cannot be guarded against."

Ying Zheng: "In that situation, it can only be said to be a last resort. Even if I were in that period, I'm afraid I would only have the path of limiting military generals. In the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, military generals were like wild horses off the leash, acting recklessly; it wouldn't work without restrictions!"

Zhao Kuangyin: "Now that I've joined the chat group, I don't have to worry anymore. Unifying the mountains and rivers is just around the corner!"

Zhao Kuangyin: "By the way, I heard before that the chat group can provide loans; can I do it too?"

Zhang Taixuan: "Of course you can. 【Red Packet】 I'm free today, so I'll do it. Others who want to borrow can also do so!"

Su Xiao: "You are so active in building the temple; you aren't trying to send a 'letter of allegiance,' are you? Actually, there's no need; this loan is an investment from the Daoist Lord. Even if you don't build the temple, you can still borrow."

Zhao Kuangyin: "Is that so? That's fine too; building the temple has no downsides. The hearts of the people in Bianliang City are more united, and the minds of the civil and military officials are more aligned. It will be much easier for me to launch a Northern Expedition in the future!"

Zhu Wushi: "Daoist Lord, I want to borrow too!"

Yue Fei: "Can I do it on my side too? I'm just an ordinary military general; it will probably take a long time to pay it back."

Zhang Taixuan: "No matter, it's just a few thousand points and a cave-heaven. You can pay it back whenever. The reason for setting a ten-year deadline is just to make you more active and not slack off. 【Exclusive Red Packet for Zhu Wushi】 【Exclusive Red Packet for Yue Fei】"

Su Xiao: "Princess Ningxiang, aren't you borrowing?"

Ningxiang: "Can I do it too? I feel that my strength is very strong now; there's no need at all."

Umaru: "No, it's very necessary. With a cave-heaven, your mother will have a place to live, and no one will ever be able to hurt her again."

Su Xiao: "Besides, you only ate one spirit fruit; your strength isn't too strong yet. If you are surrounded by thousands of troops, you will still get hurt. Borrow some points, and you can totally be a god of the current age; if you're in a bad mood, you can even replace the emperor."

Hu Yifei: "That's so filial; the current emperor is Princess Ningxiang's biological father, right!"

Su Xiao: "In short, Ningxiang understands the meaning."

Xiong Ba: "I suggest borrowing; this is the Daoist Lord's support. Don't take it for nothing; would Princess Ningxiang complain that her strength is too strong?"

Zhang Sanfeng: "Besides this, if you take a loan to buy a cave-heaven, there will be a steady stream of income later. With points, not only can you live forever, but your mother can also live forever with you."

Ningxiang: "Let my mother live forever with me? Since that's the case, then I'll trouble the Daoist Lord."

Zhang Taixuan: "【Exclusive Red Packet for Ningxiang】"

【Ding, Ningxiang has claimed Zhang Taixuan's red packet.】

Ningxiang: "Thank you, Brother Daoist Lord!" ===== CHAPTER 679 =====
