Three parties profit?
Well, indeed, it looks like three parties are profiting. The Jingjiu Dynasty hired the needed manpower; the lower-level sects had a way to make profits; each major sect could legitimately gain another expropriation project from the lower-level sects.
Looking at it from another angle, the Jingjiu Dynasty paid the reward, and the lower-level sects contributed their manpower. The only ones who seemed to be taking advantage were the major sects.
But is this really the case?
It depends on whether your vision is long-term enough. If you just stare in front of you, then indeed, the major sects will make a lot of money. But if we take a longer view, we will come to another conclusion.
For example, if things go on like this, whether it is the lower-level sects or the major sects, they will slowly get used to relying on the Jingjiu Dynasty to obtain huge resource benefits. This creates subconscious dependence, especially among lower-level sects.
Once it comes time to choose a side, for those lower-level sects, one side is the "parents of food and clothing", while the other major sects only know how to exploit themselves, how should they choose?
At the same time, "interests" were used to subtly bind the entire sect circle to the Jingjiu Dynasty, instead of each doing their own thing as in the past.
With interests tied up, whoever wants to touch this chain of interests will offend everyone on the line and will surely be attacked by a group of people.
This is Shen Hao's back-up preparation for possible external dangers after Fenghong Villa's "Blood Armor Technique" fails. The target was no one else, but the city of Fu Si, which had always been outside the Jingji Dynasty.
In Shen Hao's view, once the Jing Dynasty lost the blood armor technique as a means of settling down, the various sects within the territory were still fine. After all, they were entangled with each other's interests, and even some noise would not cause any big trouble. . But the city of Fusi is different. That is a powerful force that can dominate the underground palace of the City of Waste for thousands of years with the power of one city. If they see that the Jingjiu Dynasty is weak, it is not impossible to prepare to take advantage of it and sweep them away. At that time, the various sects tied to the same boat will not sit back and ignore it. On the contrary, they will also fight hard to protect their own interests.
Of course, relying on interests to bind the major sects to resist external threats is just a back-up, and it is not certain whether it will be useful or not.
But having said all that, although there is a crisis, it is not something we need to worry about in the near future. Because even if everyone knows that the Blood Armor Technique is ineffective, the news about the Creation Realm master "Breaking the Sky" can still frighten the surrounding covetous people for three to five years, or even longer.
A lot of things can happen in three to five years, such as Shen Hao's cultivation. What state will he be in three to five years?
Now Shen Hao has entered the sixth level of the Mysterious Sea Realm, but he feels that the energy stored in the black beast tattoo on his chest has only decreased by a little more than 10%. It is conservatively estimated that with the remaining energy, even if Shen Hao does not take a single pill, it will at least be enough for him to hit the seventh or eighth level. As for Shen Hao's Nine Levels of Perfection, it is not easy to deduce yet.
But Shen Hao is confident that he can enter the seventh level of Xuanhai Realm within at least three years. By then, if Wushiteng comes and invades, he will at least be able to help the Jingjiu Dynasty suppress the battle.
...
"Bang, clatter!" A beautiful antique vase fell from the wooden stand and broke into pieces.
The initiator was a fat boy wearing crotchless pants. He laughed, turned his head and got under the table. His movements were as nimble as a little monkey.
The girl who was chasing after her was a girl from the fox tribe. She felt heartbroken when she saw the vase smashed, but with a sullen look on her face, she walked to the table with strong steps and blocked the escape route of the fat boy below.
"Okay! Little Yueyue! You broke the master's vase! When the master comes back from work later, your little butt will suffer again! If you obediently come out and take a bath with me now, I will let you take a bath later. Sanniang begs you for mercy and spares you a beating!"
After a pause, the little fat man under the table stretched out his head and looked at the fragments of the vase on the ground. Then he looked up at the proud-looking Fox girl standing in front of her with her arms akimbo. She pursed her lips and said, "Sister, please don't lie. People! Otherwise I will tell dad not to look for you at night!"
Guxiang
"Bah! Just follow the example of an adult! Let's go and take a shower with me!"
"I...I wash it myself!"
"no!"
"Well, then I'll wait for Daddy to come back and take a shower with Daddy!"
"no!"
"I'm a man! Men can't take a shower with women!"
"...You will never say that again."
Basically, similar situations would occur in Shen's mansion every few days. There is never a dull moment in the excitement.
Shen Yue will be three years old in three months. The little fat boy has a strong body, can run when he is a little over a year old, and speaks fluently. He is now learning literacy and enlightenment from his family. On weekdays, Hong Silk is responsible for taking care of this naughty guy.
Just last year, three fox girls, including Xia Nu, were exempted from their status as slaves by Shen Hao and became maids and concubines. So Shen Yue would call Jinxiu Siniang.
Compared to Shen Yue's naughty and mischievous nature, his sister Shen Qing, who was born earlier than him, is much quieter and obedient. He is the kind of little baby that everyone loves.
It was almost dinner time in the evening when Shen Hao came back wearing court clothes. There was a court meeting today, and I didn’t change my clothes after the court meeting.
Moreover, there was an acquaintance who came in with Shen Hao, Nie Yun.
"Uncle Nie!"
"Nie Baibai!"
The two children each shouted Nie Yun's name and trotted towards Nie Yun, very affectionately. They still remembered that not long ago, Nie Yun took them to Teng Yun to have barbecue by the river outside the city, and they were extremely happy.
After dinner, Yu Qiao and Chu Linxiang led the two children to the backyard. After reviewing their homework, the two children went to bed early. Shen Hao and Nie Yun moved to the study room and continued talking about business over a pot of hot tea.
"Brother, are you really going to go there in person this time when the underground palace of Wusi City opens? Is there something else in the underground palace that could attract you?" Nie Yun took a sip of tea and then put it down. He couldn't get used to the medicinal materials from the Shen family. He always felt they were too bitter.
"Yes. Brother Nie came here just to ask about this matter?"
"Haha, isn't that right? Now everyone in the Jingjiu sect respects you. You haven't been to Waishi City for many years. Moreover, Waishi City has not been friendly to Jingjiu Chao recently. It must not be easy for you to go there. The sect is now Along with the Jingjiu Dynasty, many monks in the circle are worried and worried. You have to give me a sure idea, right?"
Shen Hao also put down the tea cup in his hand and said: "Let's fight? Waishi City is not the Wanjuan Shushan and Mingshan Sect of the past. Their composition is more complex and their power is more dispersed. It's okay to stay in the small place of Waishi City. Really If you want to run away, you are asking for trouble. So you can tell people outside that you can't afford to fight.
In addition, as you just said, the city of Wansi has been very unfriendly to the Jing Dynasty recently. Not only has it hurt many people in the carriages and horses of the country, but it has also arbitrarily lowered prices or defaulted on the supply of grain, grass, etc., as if it is deliberately looking for trouble. . So I am here to make them sober and not to make mistakes. "
