Chapter 275 Preliminary explanation of doubts
Three days later, at noon.
Li Qi arrived at Tiandou City after a long journey and immediately went to the Spirit Temple in the city.
Facing His Majesty the Pope’s envoy, the Platinum Bishop Savander of the Wuhun Temple, he performed a very high-standard welcoming ceremony.
And when he learned from Salas that Ling Yi had agreed to hand over nearly 80% of the blue silver rice in Douluo Continent to the [Martial Spirit Palace] for dissemination, Ling Qi was surprised. , and it feels reasonable.
He Qi, who had dealt with Ling Yi, was very impressed by this young man. He was a true wise man who looked at things very transparently. He was definitely not a short-sighted person who put interests first.
“This kid is still so smart.”
When talking about Ling Yi, Li Qi inevitably became a little more eager, and a sincere smile appeared on his face.
Seeing this, Salas looked surprised, and the platinum bishop Savandersa next to him also became somewhat interested in this.
Seeing the two people looking at him, Li Qi recounted his previous experience in "Gengxin City" with a smile.
Salas looked slightly sideways when he heard that Ling Yi actually had such a relationship with the emissary of His Majesty the Pope in front of him.
At the same time, Salas also thought of the deputy palace master named Lu Yi in the Wuhun Main Hall of Muzhi City, the capital of [Shuimu Principality].
Through this calculation, it turns out that Ling Yi actually has a lot of friendly relations with our [Martial Spirit Hall]. It can be said that although he is not a member of [Martial Spirit Hall], he is better than a member of [Martial Spirit Hall].
......
"Brother Yi, I still don't understand why you want to hand over all the blue silver rice to [Martial Soul Palace] for spreading?"
< br>
In a small courtyard in the east of Tiandou City, Long Yin looked at Ling Yi with a puzzled expression and asked.
Ling Yi sipped tea leisurely and looked up to see that not only Long Yin, but also Qingqiu Xin, Zhang Mufeng, Dugu Xin, and even A Yin and Yang Shirley, all turned their heads and looked at her silently. .
“Haha~”
With a chuckle, Ling Yi put down the tea cup, looked around, and finally looked at Long Yin, saying:
“It’s not all bad. Leave it to [Martial Soul Palace], isn’t this the northern region of [Tian Dou Empire], and is it entrusted to the third prince (Xue Ye) to help spread the word..."
Long Yin: "..."
Faced with Ling Yi's answer, Long Yin was speechless. Although he was not very smart, he could hear how unintentional these words were.
On the other hand, Qingqiu Xin squinted his eyes, looking thoughtful.
Zhang Mufeng, who was sitting next to Qingqiu Xin, saw it and immediately asked: "Axin, do you know what Brother Yi means?"
"Hmm~"
Qingqiu Xin responded to Zhang Mufeng, but looked at Ling Yi and asked in a somewhat uncertain tone: "Brother Yi, were you ready to hand over the spread of Blue Silver Rice to [Martial Spirit] from the very beginning? Palace]? "
As soon as Ling Yi heard this, everyone on the side could not help but widen their eyes before Ling Yi said anything. Immediately, they all looked at Ling Yi, waiting for his response.
Ling Yi raised his hand to refill Qingqiu Xin's empty tea cup with hot water, and said in a leisurely manner: "Oh? Tell me, how did you see it?"
“Really?”*N
At this moment, many people were surprised by Ling Yi’s words. Whether it's inside the small courtyard or outside the small courtyard.
"Oh! I know——!"
At this moment, Long Yin shouted and pulled everyone back from the trance.
Qingqiu Xin and Zhang Mufeng rolled their eyes at Long Yin angrily, not believing that he could figure it out at all.
On the other hand, Dugu Xin was very considerate, imitating Ling Yi’s actions, pouring hot water into Long Yin’s tea cup, and asked: “Brother Yin, tell me——”
Said It doesn't matter if you're wrong. Anyway, the real person is sitting next to you and can answer your questions at any time. Dugu Xin thought so.
When Longyin saw that his little brother was giving him face like this, he immediately took a sip of tea happily, not caring about the scalding temperature.
"Okay!" Qingqiu Xin couldn't see his arrogant look, and said: "If you want to say something, just say it quickly, don't delay us from asking Brother Yi for advice-"
"You Didn't you already guess it? Why are you so anxious?" Long Yin said immediately.
Qingqiu Xin shrugged and said: "I just saw Brother Yi so calm and had a little guess. How can I be so 'wise' like you!"
"Hmph! ”
Hearing this, Long Yin put down the teacup unhappily and ignored Qingqiu Xin. He first looked at his younger brother Dugu Xin, then turned to Ling Yi, who looked leisurely, and said:
"I just I remembered that a few days ago, we went to the Wuhun Temple in Tiandou City to receive the monthly gold soul coin subsidy. What Brother Yi said after we came back..."
"Brother Yi said If so~”*4
Dugu Xin, Yang Xueli and others entered the memory mode together.
"I remember that you were complaining at the time about why [Martial Soul Hall]'s subsidy was only given to level 40 but not to Soul Sect, right?" Qingqiu Xin said in retrospect.
"Yes." Dugu Xin also remembered and added: "At that time, brother Yin, you also said that you should polish more when you reach level 40, and gather the wool of [Martial Soul Palace] for at least two months before hunting. Soul ring, breaking through the soul sect..."
"I also said that he was obsessed with money~" Zhang Mufeng made up for it and said: "For a mere two hundred gold soul coins, it will delay our current practice of gold. Two months of precious time during the period..."
"No," Long Yin looked a little confused and shouted: "Why did you mention this? I wasn't just to liven up the atmosphere?"
"The key point, the key point I want to say is what Brother Yi said at that time. Why do you want the three of you to repeat these words?"
Speaking of this, Long Yin fiercely gouged out three of them with his eyes. Friends whose friendship has collapsed, especially Dugu Xin, the little brother who I thought was good just now, is now a little conspicuous.
"Cough!"
With a tactical cough, Long Yin ignored the friends next to him and turned to face Brother Yi and the two 'sister-in-laws' who were smiling at him and others, showing his trademark silly smile. , with two rows of big white teeth bared, he said:
"Brother Yi, I remember that at that time I complained about [Martial Spirit Hall]'s search, and the subsidy was only given to level 40. You tell me, [Martial Spirit Hall] These subsidies issued by [Martial Soul Palace] are money from the two empires, and then distributed by [Martial Soul Palace] on their behalf..."
"Yes" Ling Yi nodded and said: "So, it's not. [Martial Soul Hall] Search, but follow the rules of one gold soul coin per month for a first-level soul master, ten gold soul coins per month for a second-level great soul master, and one hundred gold soul coins per month for a third-level soul master. If the subsidies continue, even if there are currently less than 100,000 soul masters registered with [Martial Soul Palace] in the entire Douluo Continent, it will be enough to bring down the finances of the two empires..." According to statistics from [Martial Soul Palace], currently The number of registered first-level soul masters and above is more than 97,000.
This is the official data released to the outside world. As for the real data, I can only say that everyone understands it.
But even for these registered soul masters, if you add a soul ring and add a zero after the number of gold soul coins, the number of soul masters will increase to one thousand, soul kings to ten thousand, soul emperors to one hundred thousand, and soul saints to One million, ten million Soul Douluo, one hundred million Title Douluo, the entire Douluo Continent cannot support a few Titled Douluo level beings.
After all, these subsidies are paid on a monthly basis.
So, based on reality, the two empires set the rule that subsidies only reach third-ring soul masters, so as to encourage and help low-level soul masters to practice and improve their strength as soon as possible.
As for reaching level 40 or above, you can be considered to have considerable power, and you can choose to be loyal to the empire or join the army. In this way, the empire will naturally pay corresponding rewards.
Of course, soul masters also have the right to choose freely, and they can earn a lot of income by investing in certain families.
Whether it is accepting an imperial title or joining a certain soul master family to accept offerings, since you have received remuneration from others, you will naturally have obligations that you should fulfill accordingly.
For example, in a war between countries, or a dispute between a soul master family and a soul master family, the responsibility assigned to one's head must be fought with one's life.
For this reason, the [Shrek Academy] in the original book, such as Flanders, Zhao Wuji, Shao Xin and other soul saints, would rather stay in a small village and do whatever they want. The Pheasant Academy is unwilling to join any force because it does not want to work for anyone casually.
What I want is just two words: freedom!
"Brother Yin," Dugu Xin spoke at the right time, bringing the topic back on track: "Aren't we discussing why Brother Yi had decided to hand over the blue silver rice to [Martial Soul Palace] before?"
"Yes~" Zhang Mufeng nodded in agreement.
“Don’t worry,” Long Yin glanced at the two of them sideways: “We’re about to talk about it——”
Then, he looked at Ling Yi and said, “At that time, I He also complained that the two empires are not good people. It is their own money, but they actually let [Martial Soul Palace] distribute it, which will not win over people's hearts at all..."
Hearing this, let alone the people in the small courtyard. Friends, even some people, thought of something at this time.
Long Yin's words continued:
"Brother Yi said that the two major empires cannot and cannot do this kind of subsidy to all soul masters in the entire Douluo Continent. Looking at the mainland, only [Martial Soul] Temple] can do it.”
“So, I wonder if Brother Yi’s blue silver rice is the same as the soul master’s subsidy and must be handed over to [Martial Soul Temple] for dissemination. It’s the same. "The reason?"
"What reason?" Duguxin blurted out and asked.
In response, Long Yin rolled his eyes, "I don't know, I don't know, why the two empires are clearly paying for themselves, but they still leave good people to [Martial Soul Palace] to do it——" ”
After saying that, Long Yin turned his eyes to Ling Yi, looking at him eagerly with an expectant look on his face, wanting to get answers to his questions.
Not only Long Yin, at this moment, more than ten eyes were all looking at Ling Yi, waiting for him to speak.
Seeing this, Ling Yi did not disappoint them. He raised his hand slowly and raised three fingers.
"Three reasons." Ling Yi said lightly.
“First, the two empires of Tiandou and Xingluo, the kingdoms of Barak, Silvis, Haagen-Dazs, and two principalities, there are more than ten countries in the entire Douluo Continent. If these soul master subsidies are paid by oneself, how should the data be unified among empires, kingdoms, principalities, different national powers, and different number distributions of soul masters? "
"Although the King of [Balak Kingdom] is a brother to Emperor Xue Rong of [Tian Dou Empire], is he willing to allow people from [Tian Dou Empire] to harvest the hearts of soul masters in the kingdom?"
“Don’t forget, since [Kingdom of Barak] and [Kingdom of Silvis] each occupy a former province of the empire and are separated, they are naturally no longer willing to return to the rule of the empire.”
< br>Indeed, as the sovereign state, you can recruit my troops to die for you, but you cannot directly go to my country to win people's hearts. This is digging into the foundation of a country.
Ling Yi, who has experienced the era of information explosion in his previous life, knows very well that public opinion sometimes means people's hearts, and people's hearts, to a certain extent, are the stability of society, which can be called the foundation of the country.
So, why there is a literary prison, it is because of the emergence of ‘turmoil’.
No matter the source of this 'turbulence' comes from 'inside' or from 'outside'.
Stability is the most important thing. The difference is that some wise men will choose to treat the symptoms and the root cause, while some 'experts' will choose to whitewash...
The first point Ling Yi mentioned is just a superficial mention, there is no Going deeper, everyone who listened seemed to understand something, but when they thought about it deeply, they felt like they were seeing flowers in the fog.
“Second,” Ling Yi continued: “[Martial Soul Hall], as a pure soul master organization, is not a political group like the two empires, nor is it a family force bound by blood. In terms of purity alone, [Martial Soul Hall] is 'cleaner' than them..."
"Let's not talk about the high-level officials, just the middle and lower level deacons in [Martial Soul Hall], it's like Uncle Lu Yi and Uncle Yan Bin may be arrogant when facing people like us from civilian backgrounds, but they will not be arrogant..."
Long Yin, Dugu Xin and others nodded silently. They were no strangers to these two people. They had had many interactions with them before when they were in the Shuimu Principality.
“In addition, the adjudicators in [Martial Soul Hall] are so prestigious that no one dares to use their brains on the subsidies paid to soul masters, no matter the personnel of [Martial Soul Hall] themselves , or other people from the outside world."
"But if it were any other country, from top to bottom, there would always be someone who would lend a hand, and then..."
Ling Yi shook his head. No more words were said. But Long Yin, Zhang Mufeng and others couldn't help but think of someone.
Huang Liang, Master Huang, is a veteran of the ‘Blue Silver Collar’ Beikouhe Town.
At the same time, he was also Ling Yi's master who learned fighting skills such as swords, guns, and sticks when he was a child.
Because when the team was patrolling outside the "Frost Forest", they were attacked by a group of "Gray Shadow Wolves" and broke a leg. He retired due to injury. In the end, the amount of disability allowance and other things he brought back to his hometown was only 30%.
......
"What about the third one?"
In the study room of the third prince's residence, Xue Ye sat behind the desk and looked at the bodyguard who was standing in front of him, his face His expression was incomprehensible, a little surprised, a little appreciative, and a little expectant.
"Go back to Your Highness," the guard bowed down and said with pity: "When Mr. Ling was about to continue speaking, the control soul emperor named Dugu Bo suddenly came back and pulled Mr. Ling involuntarily. Then, he went outside the city, Fei Bai followed him secretly, and his subordinates rushed back to report to His Highness..."
Xue Ye: "..."
Xue Ye was inexplicably confused. The feeling of pain in the balls, it’s like reading a book and seeing a wonderful part, and it suddenly stops. It’s so exciting, it’s so damned——!
Continue tomorrow, good night everyone~
