Chapter 1389: You Forced Me to Do This (Part 2) [Please Give Me a Monthly Pass]

Sometimes, Cui Zhi really wanted to report to the police.

Can you send someone to arrest Shen Youli, who was blackmailing and taking money? Haha, she opened the government office.

Cui Zhi secretly calmed down the anger in his chest.

Although it was not straightforward, Shen Tang's words really hit his weak spot. Now Cui was tied to the warship of Kangguo, and it was difficult to get off the tiger. The eldest son and the second son had a relationship with her, and Taishan's wife was also in her camp. Cui Zhi and the Cui behind him could only choose one way to go to the end, betting on Shen Youli to win in the end! If Cui wins, they can take everything and go to the world. If they lose, they will never recover.

Cui Zhi is not a gambler and does not like illusory luck.

He firmly believes that man can conquer nature!

The hesitation in his eyes faded, leaving only the confidence that he must win.

[Since Mr. Shen thinks so highly of Cui, he will do his best in this matter. But...】 No matter how outstanding Cui Zhi's personal ability is, if he wants to suppress the chaos in the southwest, he also needs military power as a stabilizing force, and he also needs the cooperation of the Kangguo Royal Court. To put it bluntly, give him people, money, and food, and let him show off his operations, and don't worry about other things. And all this requires Shen Youli's trust.

Cui Zhi has heard of the reputation of the Kangguo Imperial Censorate.

Rumors are heard and reported, and they are all pervasive.

Shen Tang said: [I know your worries, don't worry. ]

These two simple words have the weight of a heavy mountain.

Cui Zhi tried to find out whether Shen Tang's words were true or not.

Was it her sincere words, or a perfunctory trick to deceive herself?

Shen Tang did not explain much, and the facts were more convincing than any sweet words. She used the remaining two days to settle the affairs in the southwest, but it was not to shrink the defense line and recruit young and strong people as Cui Zhi thought, but to finalize the official roads in the southwestern states.

These official roads are the main branches, connecting the southwest.

Cui Zhi: [……]

You are still thinking about building roads at this critical moment? With these money and food supplies, they can be invested in the front line to train more soldiers and horses for war preparation, and used for rear construction. If the war is lost, it will be an advantage for the enemy.

Moreover, this kind of corvée will occupy young and strong labor.

Not only Cui Zhi did not understand, but some newly promoted officials in the southwestern states and counties did not understand. They received the order and rushed here, thinking that they were asked to recruit soldiers and raise food in their jurisdiction. Shen Tang looked at the officials below. Some of them were local officials from the southwest, who were more suitable for communicating and dealing with local forces, and some were transferred from various parts of the northwest. Shen Tang did this, firstly to decentralize power, to ensure that the military and political affairs would not be concentrated in the hands of one person, and to reduce the risk of chaos. Secondly, because these officials in the northwest are more familiar with the operation of local governance and the operation of the royal court, they can help the southwestern states and counties better adapt and integrate.

Of course, military power is mostly in the hands of officials from the northwest.

The customs and habits of the north and south are different. Shen Tang heard that there are some conflicts between the two groups, and even regional discrimination - many places in the southwest countryside have slang that discriminates against the northwest. Uh... This phenomenon actually also exists in the northwest. Regional discrimination really exists in every era. Fortunately, it did not rise to the level of bloodshed. It only stayed in verbal quarrels, at best, disagreements.

The painful period of running-in is inevitable.

Shen Tang pressed his fingers on his eyebrows.

[It is not unreasonable for you to think about it, but the young and strong going out to fight is like a ladle scooping water. A pond that only goes out but not in will dry up sooner or later. People's livelihood is always the foundation, and the common people are the cornerstone of Kangguo. The more wartime, the more it is necessary to boost the morale of the people at home, so that the old and the young can be supported, and the young and the strong can make a living. The construction of official roads is not just to make the mobilization of troops from all over the country faster and the transportation of food and grass safer, but to provide a bottom line. 】Corvée in all countries is forced labor for civilians without compensation, which naturally occupies young and strong laborers, but it is different in Kangguo. The projects that are too difficult are handled by soldiers and warriors, and the less difficult ones are provided as jobs to the common people during the slack season to increase extra income.

Even if the harvest is not as expected, it will not affect the life of the family.

The common people have a livelihood and can eat and wear clothes, so they will naturally not think of rebelling, but will work harder and continuously feed back to Kangguo. Even if Kangguo occasionally loses in the central battlefield, one or two battles will not shake the confidence of the common people, which can be regarded as a win-win relationship.

After the official road is built, there is no need to elaborate on the subsequent benefits.

It seems that Kangguo is constantly spending money and occupying money and material resources. If you carefully calculate those invisible skills, it can't be said that this is a loss-making business. The only flaw is that the payback time is too long, and other warlord forces simply don't have this patience.

Shen Tang broke down her plan bit by bit. It was not because she thought that the people below could not understand, but to show her attitude - the Southwest Continent was not an "outsider" to her, but a "family member". Whether it was her as the king or the royal court of Kang, they took care of the Southwest Continent with the mentality of their own family and their own house.

There was absolutely no intention to plunder the interests of the southwest to nourish the Northwest Continent or to throw it away after use. They could put their worries back in their stomachs. As long as she was in the same day, the southwest and the northwest were treated equally.

There was also another layer of hint -

Treat the two places equally, and treat the people above the two places equally. Officials from the southwest do not have to worry about their interests being damaged.

Kangguo's "precautions" against various places in the southwest were only temporary. They were guarding against the remnants who were ready to move, not those who worked diligently for the royal court. When the situation stabilizes, everything will be on the right track. In short, everything is based on political achievements!

A confession did have a magical effect of appeasing.

Shen Tang was so dry from talking.

Ever since the news came back from Xun Ding, I have been working without sleep for several days. Even a strong man would feel exhausted.

Even Gongyang Yongye, who was watching from the sidelines, had to admire him and condescended to stew a bowl of nourishing soup for yin and yang.

In terms of nourishing, he was second to none.

[You were born too late. ] Gongyang Yongye said regretfully, [If I had met you when I was young, I might have followed you to death. Finding a master who is dedicated to doing business and not tempted by beauty is even harder than having children for me. ]

There is always an indescribable magic in such a master, just like iron hitting a magnet, you can't help but want to stick to it.

I wish I could follow him for the rest of my life.

Shen Tang: [You didn't say that before...]

Gongyang Yongye said: [This is a different time. ]

He couldn't help but imagine that picture.

When a teenager meets the most high-spirited self, the two of them must have a lot of common topics. Even if the boy is weaker, but has a very good character and the appearance of a wise ruler, he will definitely look up to him and regard him as a strong man who can have an equal dialogue. At that time, there were wars everywhere, and the boy could naturally embark on the road to becoming king if he was involved in any war.

If he met a like-minded Che Hou, he might be able to make the other party look at him differently and be willing to lend a hand. When the boy's power is bigger, it is not impossible to completely pull Che Hou into the group.

Gongyang Yongye realized the terrifying point. It seems that no matter how you imagine it, as long as the boy can survive in the muddy world of chaos, she will definitely be able to establish a country and become king. This is not an accident, but a necessity.

Now---

The old man just wants to hold his own blood-related children in his lifetime, and he doesn't choose whether it is a boy or a girl, just give him one.

Shen Tang smiled and said: [I am flattered. 】

You should know that these old Dengs are more stubborn than each other. Once they have a bad impression of someone, it is difficult to correct it. Even if they realize that they are wrong, they are unwilling to apologize. They are very arrogant in their bones.

A simple poison test, Shen Tang closed his eyes and swallowed it in one gulp.

The taste is strange, but the effect is immediate.

A heat spread from the Danfu to the limbs, and the whole body was warm and comfortable. Shen Tang was about to praise the other party, and two warm red snakes snaked down the nostrils.

[Are you suffering from kidney deficiency? ]

Shen Tang: [……]

She no longer believes in Gongyang Yongye, the quack doctor.

I don’t know how many tonic herbs Lao Deng added to it. Not to mention the nosebleed, she also felt hot all over and full of energy. Gongyang Yongye suggested that she could find a man, exercise and fever and she would be fine, so why bother.

Shen Tang pointed at him with a nosebleed and said: [Quack! ]

Specializing in men’s medicine for many years is still at this level!

Gongyang Yongye was unhappy.

He could tolerate other insults, but he couldn't tolerate insults to be a mediocre doctor!

He said angrily: [Then you can bear it yourself. ]

She was at the age of vigorous blood and energy. She was a king, a scholar, and a warrior. Any of these identities could have sexual resources that ordinary people dared not think of. Men and women lined up to offer themselves for her bed, but she didn't have this intention? Was she reincarnated from wood and stone in her previous life?

Or was she incompetent?

Shen Tang lay on the cold golden copper table, using the table to lower the temperature of her cheeks. If she didn't feel cool enough, she would turn over. This was the scene Jimo Qiu saw when he came over.

Shen Tang lay on his back and waved at him: [Come here. ]

Jimo Qiu sat obediently beside her. He knew what the residue at the bottom of the porcelain bowl on the table was: [When Gongyang Yongye prescribed medicine, he didn't even ask the imperial physician to look at the pulse record of His Highness? ]

His Highness was diagnosed with kidney deficiency a while ago.

As the head of state, she could not stop her work, so she could only ask the imperial physician to prescribe some warming and nourishing medicines, and even the imperial meals were changed to matching medicinal meals. Gongyang Yongye, a wild and mediocre doctor, is good at prescribing strong medicines. The medicine is good, but it is a bit too nourishing for His Highness now.

He is also a warrior with vigorous blood and qi-

He must be feeling uncomfortable at this moment.

Jimo Qiu obediently stretched out his right hand and handed it to Shen Tang, who grabbed his hand and put it on his face, using his hand as a pillow, and continued to maintain the posture of lying on the table just now: [Your hands are just right to be cold, much more comfortable than this table. ]

Jimo Qiu replied: [It's because of the divine power. ]

There is no mistake in the poem, the content, and the content of the book!

The divine power attribute is wood yin, and the most direct effect is that his skin temperature is much lower than that of ordinary people, but it is not the kind of ice that makes people sweat. The breath of divine power is neutral and peaceful, which can best soothe the heat. It can really soothe. Not only did the temperature in the body drop, but also the irritated mood of the past few days has calmed down a lot.

Shen Tang turned his face and looked at Jimo Qiu.

[So are you fulfilling the duties of the high priest now? ]

Jimo Qiu said: [Accompanying is. ]

Even if you don't say anything and do nothing, knowing that there is such an existence, you will no longer feel lonely.

Shen Tang smiled and asked: [Do you only want these? ]

[Only these, the rest are all gifts from God. ]

What he gets is not decided by him, but by God.

Shen Tang looked at him in a trance.

His eyes were too focused, so Jimo Qiu couldn't ignore it. She asked: [I always feel that I have seen you in my dreams, younger than you are now, and more mature than you are now... Are those my memories of you in the past? ]

Shen Tang couldn't put himself in it.

I always feel very suspended and torn.

It's her, but not her.

No one would dislike a person who is absolutely obedient and looks up to them. He is gentle and harmless, and is someone who can definitely let down his guard. Shen Tang is no exception. He even gave away his ancestral property without reservation. The strange thing is that Shen Tang can never have an excessive affection for Jimo Qiu - it seems that he has a separate affection bar with her, and it can't be increased once it is full. She is different from Yuan Liang and others. There is no upper limit to her liking and trust, and it increases anytime and anywhere.

This makes Shen Tang a little distressed.

She doesn't like this feeling of being deliberately controlled.

It feels like she has become a puppet, and her body has been restricted. Once the keyword is triggered, the restriction will take effect.

But she is a living being, not a puppet of anyone.

Logically, she will weaken her favorability towards Jimo Qiu.

Even weirder is coming. No matter how strong the sense of separation is, Shen Tang can't hate him a little bit, as if the favorability is fixed.

Jimo Qiu: [Yes. ]

Shen Tang knew that Jimo Qiu was also restricted in some way, and some secrets could not be confessed to her, but she still wanted to ask.

She poured out all her inner distress.

At the end, she asked him: [The favorability points that the high priest worked hard to earn were swallowed up. Do you feel a little frustrated? ]

[No. ]

Shen Tang was surprised: [Is your true form Capybara? ]

Are your emotions too stable?

[The true form is not Capybara. ] The high priest shook his head, [I don’t feel frustrated because it took hundreds of years to ask for the mercy of His Highness. Now you and I have only known each other for a dozen years. In fact, I am flattered that His Highness does not dislike me. ]

This is the normal progress.

Shen Tang: […So, it’s not that my favorability is limited, but that there is a problem with my time perception? ]

It’s just that she doesn’t understand one thing.

Who can refuse Hakimi who offers everything with both hands?

Why is he willing to show mercy after hundreds of years?

Shen Tang looked at Jimo Qiu and sighed again and again.

[Your Highness is still uncomfortable? ]

[There is a feeling of powerlessness like a eunuch forced into a prostitute's house. ]

[Hmm? ]

[I have the will but not the strength. ]

Jimo Qiu: […normal. ]

The instinct of trees is not to reproduce and seek pleasure, but to take root in the soil and extend the root system, and to grow upward to embrace the sun.

Shen Tang: […]

I suspect that I was not only diagnosed with kidney deficiency, but also stomach nourishment.

On the second day, the camp was moved.

After she explained the various matters in the southwest, she led a part of the elite troops back to the capital. If she wanted to go to war with the central part, the current force was not enough, and the generals needed to be rearranged. In addition, she also needed to return to the capital to show up and appease the emotions of her subjects.

In the past, she did not like to mobilize troops, but this time, she was uncharacteristically, and specially sent someone to send a letter to the capital in advance, and made a grand ceremony for the return of the royal division. Sometimes, making a scene can also give people a reassurance and give confidence to the officials and common people——

The Southwest Continent was defeated.

Can the Central Region be exempted?

That is just a stumbling block to push Kangguo to the top.

Shen Tang sat on the back of a motorcycle wearing silver armor, raised his hand to his brow, squinted slightly, and looked at Jiuhou's figure facing the morning sun.

"Yuanliang!"

_(:3」∠)_

Gongyang Yongye's tonic soup was too much, and Tangmei really had the idea of ​​having sex with the high priest (a very suitable candidate in all aspects, relieving the heat and not worrying about affecting the court), but when she saw the other party, she was empty-handed.
