Zhang Huai shook his head like he couldn't help but laugh, "Those weapon and armor merchants are all in a mess. Almost half of the senators in the Senate were supported by them. The important thing is that our Gantian Mountain people themselves aren't willing. After several failed attempts, the ruler could only give up. "
Thinking about it, he added, "Now in Gantian Mountain City, the largest weapon shop is under the ruler's name …"
In Kong Rui's chest, he was originally filled with emotions. Instantly, it was like a bucket of cold water being poured over him, disappearing without a trace.
So the one who benefited the most from this weapon business was the ruler …
Even if he wasn't willing to think about it, he couldn't help but guess that this Gantian Mountain monster king wasn't going with the flow?
Could it be that he was just putting on an act when he proposed to ban weapons?
Taking in a deep breath, Kong Rui tried his best to calm himself down.
"A few days ago when I came to Rainbow City, I coincidentally saw the coachmen in the city going on strike …"
"There was such a matter?" Zhang Huai was slightly shocked, following which he smiled bitterly.
"Sorry for making you laugh! This matter is normal in our Gantian Mountain! "
Kong Rui frowned slightly, was this person really used to it?
"These commoners are ignorant and don't know logic, only looking at what is in front of them. Even if you give them a mountain of gold and an ocean of silver, they won't be satisfied and won't know how to restrain themselves. There is a saying that people without manners will cause chaos, those who don't know manners will go against them. Gantian Mountain just allows them to do whatever they want? Don't they know that if they ask for too much, what money can those employers earn? If this goes on, who would go into business … "
"This …"
Zhang Huai's brows furrowed, why did he feel that Kong Rui's words were filled with grievances? It was like he was really unhappy, what was going on?
Hesitating for a moment, he still said patiently, "Zhang Huai came to Gantian Mountain for just a month. Minister Ren also mentioned this matter to the ruler. I heard that the ruler said that then what is the use of having a cabinet? As a ruler, you should have the responsibility to adjust yin and yang and balance the economy. "
However, Kong Rui snorted coldly and did not let it go. This was clearly pushing the wrong person!
Following which he heard Zhang Huai say, "Ruler also said that everything in the world has its own cycle. There were some things that needed to be smoothed out. There was no one to do business, and no one to do work. After several times, these people knew the truth, and naturally would not go overboard. And if they felt that the wages were suitable and that there were profits to be made, there would naturally be people who would continue to run the business. There was no need to care too much. He would not interfere. All misfortunes and blessings are brought about by oneself … "
Kong Rui immediately let out an 'ah'. There was such a saying? Even if Gantian Mountain declined, he didn't care?
Zhang Huai smiled and said, "Actually, I have a different opinion on this matter. The higher the labor cost, the higher the daily expenses, the more the merchants could earn. This is why our Gantian commerce is far more prosperous than other countries. Naturally, everything has to be done perfectly! "
Kong Rui's brows were tightly furrowed. Why did even this person say that?
The saints said that there was a fixed amount of wealth in the world. What kind of narrow-minded logic was Zhang Huai talking about?
Zhang Huai didn't say anything else, but there was a worried look on his face. What Kong Rui saw was just the tip of the iceberg.
He thought that it was all like that within Gantian Mountain. Actually, such a situation was only limited to the few cities directly under Gantian Mountain. These few places were filled with people who were brave and had relatives in the army. This was why those people didn't dare to forcefully force them.
Elsewhere, however, everything was calm and peaceful. Even if there were, they were suppressed. It was said that there were many casualties, but it was kept really well hidden. Even some of the discussion groups joined in.
Even when the Saint Emperor ruled, there were such things that one couldn't bear to hear about …
When the carriage arrived at the foot of Gantian Mountain, Kong Rui heard a Buddhist chant that entered his ears.
Thinking back to when he was outside the city, he could roughly hear it. Kong Rui couldn't help but look towards Zhang Huai. The latter smiled, "It isn't a secret. Not long ago, the Ruler obtained an Avici Throne. He felt that the souls of the six country descendants who were forcefully locked up were really pitiful. He asked the Ten Thousand Buddha Vast Habitat to invite the monks over. It was said that it would take a full 49 days! "
Kong Rui was enlightened, following which his eyes lit up. That's right, that must be the case!
It must be because of the Buddhist ritual that there would be such a phenomenon! He was really making a fuss out of nothing.
It seemed like after his injuries healed, he needed to use the Wen King Divination Money to take a closer look.
He thought back to how in just a moment he would be able to see Kong Yao. His eyes lost focus once more. Apart from the thick kinship in his heart, he actually felt a little nervous.
In the next moment, he saw a petite and extremely familiar person standing beside the stone path at the foot of the mountain.
She was looking over, her clear eyes were filled with joy.
It was Yao 'er!
Kong Rui got up from the carriage. At this moment, he felt really happy.
However, after a moment, his hands trembled slightly.
Like he didn't recognize her anymore, he looked right at Kong Yao's face.
The fracture mark that only top-level arcane masters could see between his eyebrows was no longer there.
No! It should have been a little earlier, there was still a rumbling grey aura.
However, it wasn't like before when her life was totally cut off. Between the broken marks, there were already many thin marks.
Why did her life suddenly change? It seemed like as long as she passed this hurdle and broke this killing calamity, she would be able to solve it. Her life would be smooth and unobstructed …
There was also this aura, the white light hidden within was becoming thicker and thicker. It was like a tiger had grown wings and lost all restraints. Her face gave off a jade glow like she was being supported by a noble. She was just waiting to fly into the sky and break out of her fate.
At that moment, she would definitely be the center of attention of the world!
Kong Rui couldn't help but feel really confused. There was obviously someone who shared the burden of Kong Yao's death calamity …
Who was it to actually leave such a chance for her to live?

Within the room, Zong Shou was currently in a giant hole. He didn't know that Kong Rui had arrived and didn't bother about those monks who were doing their rituals.
The hole was eight hundred feet deep, the four walls and below. They were all made from a layer of Black Mystic Steel that was four hundred feet thick, refined from Black Mystic Iron. Ten kilograms of black iron, only one kilogram of black steel was produced. Along with the ocean pattern cinnabar, the material was grade 7.
These things that were supposed to be used on the spaceship were all used by him.
And in this deep pit, there were countless Black Mysterious Steel Sand. If one looked carefully, one would notice that the so called 'steel grains' were all clearly defined. There were at least five to six extremely sharp protrusions.
Zong Shou was in this deep hole, using the chaotic splitting wind fist over and over again.
Before he reached xiantian, he trained his body underwater. Only then could he build up a strong foundation and break through the human barrier of the barriers from heaven.
In his last life, to break through the last layer of the heaven barrier. Zong Shou had considered various body training techniques, in the end, he chose to directly copy them, which was such a dumb method.
However, at that time, he didn't expect that he would have such conditions. He only planned to use normal sand and stones to train his body in the desert.
At this moment, he changed to this black steel sand. Although it was harder to train his body, the effects were more obvious.
Punching out randomly, within Zong Shou's hole, the weight of the sand and stones wasn't much. However, he only felt that when his body danced, a heavy and sluggish force wrapped around his body, making him feel helpless and unable to move.
Luckily, after each punch, the surrounding would become looser and his punches would become more relaxed.
However, it also caused astral winds to dance, and those towering iron sand unceasingly revolved around him. They forcefully broke the body protecting energy that spread out from his body and then slashed many bloody wounds on his body.
His muscles, bones, and skin could even go up against a grade 7 spiritual weapon.
However, under the intense rolling and friction of the sand and stones, in just a moment, he was covered in blood.
Zong Shou frowned, but he still persisted. It caused the iron sand in the deep pit to swirl like a tornado.
A full 15 minutes later, he flew out of the hole and fell to the side powerlessly.
At this moment, his body was in a bad state. There wasn't a single piece of good meat on his body.
However, he was still smiling. It had been a long time since he was like this. He felt that he couldn't take it anymore.
On the contrary, the energy and meridians in his body were in conflict. Training his body like this consumed a lot of energy.
Refining one's body in this' sand 'pit was really not an ordinary kind of hardship.
… However, he punched out fiercely! Only to see that in the air, there were actually waves of energy ripples.
It spread to the roof and the stone slabs on the ground, causing numerous pieces of stone to fly up.
This fist, he didn't use much strength or true qi. He punched out. Just relying on the speed of the fist to break the wind, it caused such a huge commotion.
Using the Book of Eon as well as the mind stones that he extorted, Zong Shou pretty much did this every day.
His physical body was strengthening at a visible rate. However, the most obvious benefit was the speed.
When he punched out, it was a full 30% faster than before!
He felt that the 10 heaven veins that had merged into his body before had been totally tamed.
In a few more days, he would be able to complete the merger of the 6th meridian and charge for grade 9 realm to become a spiritual grandmaster!
First, Zong Shou used energy to push away the iron sand that was embedded in his body. Then, he reached out with his hand and took out a pill from his heaven and earth bag, swallowing it into his mouth.
Following which, he took out some spiritual liquid and rubbed it on the wounds on his body.
These wounds looked like his flesh and blood had been ripped open. However, they were just skin wounds and didn't hurt his bones and tendons.
After consuming the medicine, in just a few dozen breaths, those wounds were swiftly healing.
In a few more breaths, the blood scabs fell off. Zong Shou's skin was still clean and tender, there weren't any scars at all.
Zong Shou sighed. This was the bad thing about fox race males. Their skin was too good and they weren't manly at all.
However, that wasn't right. His father was really domineering.
Following which he felt a wave of worry. He didn't have much medicine left in his heaven and earth bag.
It wasn't that he didn't have any place to find it. Pill Fountain Sect could provide as much as he wanted. However, he was embarrassingly short of money and didn't have the money to buy it.
