"So that's the case …"
Renbo opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he kept silent.
Although he had doubts in his heart, he was unable to accurately judge such matters. After all, he wasn't a cultivator and his vision was limited. He couldn't tell if what Zong Shou said was true or false.
Looking at the other officials in the hall, he saw that they were deep in thought. No one made a sound. It was obvious that they didn't object.
Thinking about it, four million elites were enough to suppress Donglin. If they had a hundred thousand grade 4 soldiers, Gantian Mountain's military strength would explosively increase.
However, with that, the consumption would be slightly larger. However, with the current wealth of Gantian Mountain, it was enough to support it!
"Since the ruler is so determined, then we will follow your orders!"
"I will need all of you to take care of it!"
Zong Shou nodded his head slightly, his tone was really sincere. The current Gantian Mountain wasn't a place where he could do whatever he wanted. Especially when it came to finances. Not only did he have to pass the cabinet, but he also needed half of the people in the meeting to agree.
He was secretly helpless. Could this be considered as him finding his own shackles and locking himself up? He only felt that no matter what he did, his hands and feet were tied.
However, since he wouldn't spend most of his time in Gantian Mountain, he wouldn't have time to deal with administrative matters. Then, no matter how unhappy he was, he had to continue maintaining such a system.
As for what he said just now, although it was a little frightening. However, in the illusion, after witnessing the battle of Guangwu between Chu and Han, he felt more and more anxious.
When the Xiangchu overlord ruled, it was already at the end of the cloud desolate era, and the spiritual wave had started to weaken.
Even then, when he was at his weakest, he had tens of thousands of grade 6 cavalry.
Such strength was enough to flatten any sect in the world.
As for the Han king, he had millions of grade 4 and above soldiers.
Zong Shou estimated that three years later, he had some confidence in building a hundred thousand pure grade 4 elite army.
With the spirit salamander blood essence pill that Xuanyuan Yiren made, it was enough for Gantian Mountain to produce enough grade 4 experts.
However, this pill was still a secret of Gantian Mountain. There were many people here, and it wasn't convenient for him to speak about it.
Then, he looked at his left hand thoughtfully. In the palm of his hand, there was an incomparably pure blue aura, like a miniature version of a tornado, floating above it.
Zong Shou had gathered the spiritual energy of the Wind Element, and it was almost tangible.
Not only was it rich, but it was also pure. If it was in the past, if he wanted to do it, he would have to do it in an environment like the Spiritual House Holy Land.
However, at this moment, it was easily done. On one side, due to the Avici Throne, the meridians under Gantian Mountain were being sorted out. On one hand, his recent spirit master cultivation had improved.
On the other hand —
Zong Shou's eyes narrowed slightly, without a hint of joy.
The growth of the spiritual energy in the world was far beyond his expectations. It was almost double the difference of the past Cloud World!
Two years ago, the martial cultivators and spirit masters of the cloud world, with average talent and a slightly better environment, could cultivate to grade-4 in twenty to thirty years.
But at this moment, this time could be shortened by at least a third!
Martial cultivators could easily borrow the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to train their physical bodies and charge at their meridians.
The soul of a spirit master was also easier to nourish. In an environment with abundant spiritual energy, one's soul power could easily grow and strengthen.
The reason why those shrines and sects in the world could go up against a country was because of this.
However, this also meant that those alien races who left the cloud world during the ancient cloud desolate era would come back even earlier.
Many spirit realm and even celestial realm cultivators who left the cloud world would return one after another.
This was totally different from what he remembered!
Was this 170-year long spiritual wave going to start in advance? Who knows if this change was because of him?
Anyways, it wouldn't be wrong to prepare ahead of time.
Thinking back to the changes in Yin Dragon Canyon, Zong Shou's spiritual sense actually felt signs of danger.
It seemed like there were many things that needed to be done in advance.
"Renbo can't ask about military matters. Not only the purchasing of pills, I will go all out! "
Renbo bowed slightly, solemnly bowing. This was his promise to the ruler. However, following which his tone turned cold once more.
"However, what is the reason for the energy destroying crossbows and spaceships? I wonder if Your Majesty can clear up some of our doubts? "
Zong Shou's lips twitched when he heard that. He only felt that the current Renbo was like a volcano that was about to explode.
He was suppressing himself now because he was waiting for him to finish before he exploded.
However, he had to pass this hurdle in the end.
Just as he was about to speak, from the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw Zhang Huai, who was silently standing behind the officials with the title of national advisor.
Speaking of which, this new subject of his looked more and more similar to Zhang Liang in the illusionary realm.
Not only his looks, but his aura was similar, elegant and calm.
At this moment, his eyes shone brightly like he was thinking about something.
With a thought, Zong Shou smiled and asked, "What does advisor Zhang think about my actions?"
This was not only a question but also a praise. Only by letting this person display his ability in front of everyone. Only then could he convince the people and promote him.
"Junshang is ambitious and farsighted. Zhang Huai admires you. Although repairing spaceships will cost a huge amount, you have to do it! "
Renbo's brows rose up. He knew that this person was a good friend of Ren Tianxing. They had spoken a few words before and his impression of him was not bad. His talents and knowledge were not bad. This was why when Zong Shou appointed him as an advisor, he didn't spend much effort to organize it.
However, looking at him today, he felt that Zhang Huai's character was so bad. He only sucked up to the ruler and wasn't a good subject.
Just as he was about to open his mouth and spit on this person's face, he heard Zhang Huai speak up once more, "The Taishang country is prosperous and can't be plotted against. The Central Cloud Continent has touched the nerves of many sects. Ruler probably has a huge ambition in your heart but you can't use your fists and legs. Then, plotting against the outside is the best strategy. The strength of a country is like a boat going against the current. If you don't advance, you will fall behind. At this moment, our Gantian Country is prosperous and our soldiers are all sharp. We can try … "
The moment these words were said, the entire hall was silent. Renbo kept silent. Although Zhang Huai's words were vague, it woke him up. However, it reminded him that Zong Shou wanted to fight in the outer region!
His heart tightened and he was a little annoyed. How could such a secret matter be said in such a situation?
Then, he understood. Once those six spaceships were rebuilt according to Zong Shou's intentions. At that time, not only would they be able to travel through space, but they would also be great siege weapons.
Ten shrines, five vast habitats, and even Taishang, who wouldn't be wary of them?
Zhang Huai purposely said those words because he wanted to use the mouths of the people in the hall to calm the hearts of the sects.
Borrowing the strength of the outer region to strengthen the Da Qian Country?
Renbo was tempted. He wasn't a pedantic scholar. He didn't care about using all his troops, as long as Gantian Mountain was able to obtain enough benefits.
However, where would the money to repair the spaceships come from?
Does Ruler have a plan in mind?
Zong Shou squinted his eyes and smiled, his tone filled with bad intentions, "I heard that the various sects in the world have many treasures. If I borrow from them or directly invest, who knows if it will work? "
Renbo was frowning, calculating where he could take out the money and where he could cut off the excess.
When he heard that, he exclaimed, filled with shock.
Not only him, but Hu Zhongyuan and the others in the hall were also shocked. There was actually such a method?
Inconceivable, but thinking about it, it seemed feasible. Not only could they borrow from the sects, but they could also borrow from the people.
Now, they only needed to worry about whether or not there would be returns from conquering the outer region. Would they be able to obtain enough wealth to repay the debt?
Zhang Huai, on the other hand, was slightly startled as he looked up.
He only felt that this Ruler was a wise Ruler!
This plan wasn't just about borrowing money, it also had deep meaning.
However, why didn't those End Realm people during the Cloud Desolate Era predict such a Ruler who could compare to ancient Saint Emperors?
At this moment, Renbo suddenly thought about something, "Oh right! During these few days, that Taishang envoy has found me several times to rush me. When is the Ruler prepared to send troops? "
Zong Shou felt his head hurt. He nearly forgot about this matter.

On the peak of Gantian Mountain, just as Zong Shou was feeling frustrated. The Ten Thousand Sword Vast Habitat was filled with a cold and solemn energy.
It was also a Vast Habitat, but this place was different from the Common People's Vast Habitat. This place was a world of swords, one could see them all around. Even in the desolate land, there were all sorts of swords stabbed into it.
Even the mountains and rocks exuded a sharp aura.
The main body of the Vast Habitat was a mountain known as Sword Ask Mountain. It was three thousand feet tall, towering and precipitous, as if it was a sword stabbed into the ground.
At the peak of the Swordsmanship-seeking Mountain, in a stone palace. Tai Chi was sitting expressionlessly. Beside him was his Senior Brother Ruotao. He was expressionless and didn't move at all.
At this moment, in this huge stone hall, not only were there ten over elders of the Kenzō Sect sitting above.
Beside them were close to ten thousand Kenzō Sect disciples sitting upright.
At this moment, numerous gazes looked over. Some were judging, some were praising, some were gloating, some were mocking, some were filled with pity and pity.
Tai Chi knew that most of these gazes were on him. Although his expression didn't change, his chest was filled with emotions.
The feeling of falling from the clouds wasn't good.
About a few months ago, Senior Apprentice Brother Ruo Tao experienced this feeling. At that time, he was too pleased with himself.
Thinking about that, Tai Chi laughed bitterly. It was said that the agreement between the Kenzō Sect and Cang Shengdao was that he and Tan Qiu would each take one.
At this moment, Tan Qiu had already defeated Jueyu and was the third of the six pinnacle swords. At this moment, he was smashed into the mud in the Yin Dragon Canyon battle.
Although the one known as the Sword Emperor had never shown others that he had the ability to merge spirit and martial arts. However, Tai Chi didn't dare to underestimate anyone, especially the top swordsman who defeated Leidong. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me.
