Chapter 266: Ten Days, the Second Taixu Fantasy Trade Fair

After entering June, the scorching summer seems to be melting Tianjin. Such days make people more and more sleepy, and when they feel sleepy, they want to run to Linshuixuan.

Zhou Tieyi was the same. He would check in every day and go to the young lady to listen to music after noon.

Although Miss Shanyin is a little stupid, she looks cute when she is stupid.

Especially her reluctant look and her poor tea-making skills, combined with Guan Guan, an old hand at tea ceremony, made Zhou Tieyi feel a different feeling.

I really want to see Miss Shanyin thinking that all her plans have succeeded, and then seeing them shattered by her own hands.

That's really interesting, much more interesting than listening to the music.

Of course, this is just a spice of life. By keeping Shanyin, in addition to trying to see if there are any surprises on the Shinto side, he can also help senior sister make a quick decision.

After entering the Soldiers' Tomb, he can use the tiger talisman to connect to the rules of the Soldiers' Tomb, and Zhou Tieyi's White Emperor statue can condense faster.

All that was left was to take Ya Lao and Xu Yu to slowly explore the weak points of the space inside the Soldiers' Tomb every night. Such a large place would take quite a while even with Xu Yu's help. Especially since the Soldiers' Tomb was not absolutely safe, in many places the two still needed to move forward bit by bit even with Ya Lao's protection.

After Li Jianhu entered the Lakeside Academy, a third-rank Confucian figure had taken over. After all, they were dealing with Prince Ning, and with someone to help protect the base, Zhou Tieyi naturally had less to worry about and only had to wait to reap the fruits of his labor.

The days passed peacefully like flowing water for more than ten days.

Zhou Tieyi did not cause any trouble in the past ten days, so that the officials in the court felt a little uncomfortable for a while.

After asking around, he found out that there were two beautiful maids in Linshuixuan who were pestering Zhou Tieyi.

Everyone was surprised but also felt it was reasonable.

During the tense political struggle before, Zhou Tieyi ran to the beautiful maid in Lvyi Garden whenever he had time. This shows that although he had been hiding for a long time, his love for the beautiful maid was real. Only if he really loved the beautiful maid could he hide it so well.

Moreover, the political situation has now found its balance again. Zhou Tieyi won a great victory and is digesting his gains. The Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Propaganda, and the Ministry of Education lost their power and were shackled by the "Warehouse Burning Case". For a while, they quietly retreated and licked their wounds. The Mohist School, the Agricultural School, the Medical School and other schools obtained the newspaper rights opened by Zhou Tieyi, and also began to prepare for the newspaper business in full swing. They kept an eye on Zhou Tieyi and the Confucian School to see who made the mistake. This time they would not just be bystanders. Once they reacted, they would naturally want to get a piece of the pie.

So everyone hopes to see Zhou Tieyi loving the beautiful maid. If the beautiful maid was not sent suddenly, it would arouse Zhou Tieyi's vigilance. The officials in the court might have been secretly planning how to collect beautiful maids from all over the world and send them to Zhou Tieyi's bed, preferably to make Zhou Tieyi unable to get out of bed!
It is normal for young people, full of vigor and vitality, to indulge in beauty for a while when they gain power.

At this time, they actually felt that the prince was right to stop everyone that day.

When Zhou Tieyi skipped class, the censors stopped making a fuss and even hoped that it would be better if this tiger Zhou Tieyi could be tied up in the land of gentleness forever.

It would be a big mistake to wake up the tiger at this time.

Now that the God-Slaying Division is on the right track, small flags and general flags from all over the country have begun to enter the capital one after another, and two to three thousand more people have been added at once. There are useful people in this world, it depends on whether the benefits you give are big enough.

The opportunity of opening a military tomb could obviously arouse the greed of most people in the world. Even Zhou Tieyi had heard that many legitimate sons of powerful families were temporarily admitted to the God-Slaying Division and then sent to Tianjing for further studies, all for the purpose of getting the opportunity to open a military tomb.

Zhou Tieyi did not stop this matter.

This time the military tomb was not just a good thing. After talking with the Queen Mother yesterday, Zhou Tieyi understood that although the emperor had been ignoring state affairs for three years, it was not that he had done nothing. In response to the situation after his fall from the throne, the emperor had been planning for a long time and had made many backup plans.

Even the Queen Mother may not be fully aware of how many tricks the Emperor has, which is why she agrees with her own assessment of the Emperor as a 'lonely man'.

On the Shinto side, the first test against the emperor is inevitable. In the contest between the two top forces, those who can survive this time have intelligence, ability, and luck. These are the people who are truly worth cultivating.

Of course, Zhou Tieyi was not completely unaware of the reminders. During this period of time, Zhou Tieyi had arranged the training in the Zhushen Division meticulously, including the grand competition to be held at the end of the month. His purpose was to make those who were not strong enough retreat and not rush in.

In addition to the training within the Zhushen Division, another authority of the Zhushen Division is also being built in an orderly manner, and that is the authority of taxation.

Although the Zhushen Division had seized the property of a large number of wealthy merchants in Tianjing after the warehouse burning incident, those were all one-time transactions. Only by controlling the luxury tax could the entire Zhushen Division be supported in the long term.

When it comes to making laws, even though the Legalists, the emperor and Zhou Tieyi have reached a tacit understanding, the necessary procedures are still necessary, especially the appearance of newspapers. In order to show respect for public opinion, even though he knows that this is a formality, Zhou Tieyi still has to go through the newspapers twice.

Many formalisms can be transformed into precedents when appropriate, so that the authority of newspapers can be extended to the legal system. Of course, the prerequisite is that you have to make everyone in the world accustomed to this practice.

Anyway, it was a cost-effective task and would only take a few extra days, so Zhou Tieyi naturally let Wu Qian handle it.

This also proves the saying that if you say one thing above, the people below will run themselves ragged.

However, Wu Qian also enjoyed it. Not only did his ability to handle government affairs and his interpersonal communication skills in various departments improve significantly during this process, but it also laid a solid foundation for his practice of the Legalist school. In the wild world, as Zhou Tieyi mastered the authority of the water near the West Mountain, he followed the water veins and went out of the primeval forest, and soon found traces of the human tribe.

These days, Wu Mu and his companions have been observing the habits and strength of this tribe, and thinking about how to make contact with them.

Zhou Tieyi did not intervene in this process, which is also a kind of training.

In the middle of the month, the trading party in the illusory world of Taixu was convened again.

This time, without the panda to lead the way, Zhou Tieyi also skillfully located himself through the Taixu Illusion Surface and arrived at the temporarily rented room in the market.

The host, Baili, who was the one who looked like a water god from some place, said with a smile, "I'm glad that so many of you came this time. We haven't had so many people participating in our gatherings for a long time."

Although separated by fog, Zhou Tieyi could still feel the joy in Baili's words.

He looked at the luck above Baili's head, and sure enough, a faint dragon shape was surrounding his water palace.

The [Dragon-like Golden Body Shaping Method] he learned last time obviously brought him considerable benefits, so he lived a very comfortable life this month.

And because of the spread of [The Method of Creating a Golden Body with the Appearance of a Dragon], many old hands who were lurking in the Great Illusionary Realm were hooked out. They understood that the top management of the Great Illusionary Realm might intend to spread this very cost-effective method at many middle-level gatherings. Only by participating in these gatherings can they obtain these methods in the first place.

Increase user activity.

Zhou Tieyi commented in his heart when he saw that there were nearly one-third more people.

Taixu Illusion Realm is not just a simple trading organization, but also a huge villain camp.

In the past, all parties in the camp were suppressed by Da Xia and did not dare to act rashly, but since the top leaders of Taixu Illusion Realm wanted to "increase the activity of users", they naturally wanted these middle-level practitioners to start making trouble.

After each transaction at the trade fair, there will inevitably be an exchange of information and even joint actions. As more people participate, even if they initially only come to trade cost-effective martial arts techniques, they will gradually become involved in certain things.

It's like shopping. During a big sale, everyone had planned to only buy things with high cost-performance. But when they really see the dazzling array of information and see that some people are getting a great bargain, they naturally want to take action.

As for whether you make money or lose money in the end, it depends on your luck.

Now all that’s left is one explosive point to break the myth of Daxia’s invincibility.

Therefore, the phantom priest did not reject Guan Guan's proposal for the military tomb because of this consideration.

Baili once again took the lead in livening up the atmosphere, and this time he really took out something good.

"I want a secret treasure that can create a large area of ​​fog. The fog must be able to cover at least ten miles and have a certain ability to conceal the secrets of the heavenly arts."

After Baili made this request, a guy who didn't attend the last gathering but looked like he was at the same level as Baili suddenly laughed and said, "The secret treasures that conceal the secrets of the Heavenly Secrets Art are all good things. They are not enough for me to use myself, so why would you exchange them?"

Baili gave a reason for everyone to change. This time he materialized a gem. The gem was round, and its white color revealed five colors. It was surrounded by five dragon emblems. What's more amazing is that there was a group of dark yellow energy under the gem in the shape of a dragon, supporting the gem itself.

"Dongzhu!"

Many people couldn't help but speak, and they became slightly excited for a moment.

Zhou Tieyi also looked at the pearl carefully, and even he was a little moved.

The Dongzhu in this world refers to the pearls worn by the emperor and the empress, and also refers to certain special pearls.

Ordinary clam pearls, even if produced by thousand-year-old mother shells, are of limited value. Only this kind of pearls that have settled in the dragon's lair of water veins have absorbed a part of the national fortune of the water veins, and therefore can be called Eastern Pearls.

As for the pearls that His Majesty and the Queen wear all year round, they themselves can be regarded as absorbing the national fortune from them, so the two are essentially the same.

The production sites of most of the Dongzhu, that is, the water veins and dragon caves, are actually in the hands of the Daxia royal family. However, the world is so big that it is inevitable that some small dragon veins are hidden due to the movement of the terrain and are found by those who are interested.

If you want good things, you have to exchange them for real good things. No one is stupid.

Baili waited for a while, and seeing that no one answered, he dispersed the illusory Dongzhu. He did not expect to complete the transaction in one go, and still said with a smile, "Those who are interested can contact me individually. Everyone knows how precious Dongzhu is."
