Start with the Soul Forge

Chapter 352 352. Right hand begins to rise degrees (first update)
This time's exploration of Taixu Realm was due to the suggestion of Kongsang School Director, who was a prophet, saying that what Mo Hao needed was here.

Out of trust in the famous prophet, Mo Hao carried out this exploration of the Taixu Realm.

Finding what he needs in this Taixu Realm is Mo Hao's primary task in this exploration.

The secondary task is to fulfill Zhang Jue's obsession, or to put it bluntly, to rebel.

Given the current situation of the [Leinigman Empire], Mo Hao knew that the time would not be far away when the people would become dissatisfied, start to lose hope in the upper class, and even undergo a violent reshuffle.

At this time, if he wanted to learn from Zhang Jue and wish for the [Leinigman Empire] to die, then he'd better not have too close interest relations with the nobles of the [Leinigman Empire].

Otherwise, he will definitely be looked at with suspicion in the future, which will be a very troublesome situation for Mo Hao.

After having close contacts with the nobles of the [Leinigman Empire], he also planned to lead the people in a rebellion. The first thing he had to face was the suspicious eyes of the people.

Doubt whether you are really doing this for their benefit, doubt whether you will sell them at a good price to pave the way for your own future.

If he has such an experience, his behavior cannot prevent people from deconstructing it.

Although a good leader can easily resolve such suspicious looks, Mo Hao is not good at being a leader.

He is even better at telling you that if you don't follow me, you will have to follow Mr. Ulyanov.

Mo Hao knew where his shortcomings were, so he didn't intend to give anyone an excuse from the beginning.

"Is this so..."

Mo Hao's refusal made Xiyue frown slightly. She knew that she was not Mo Hao's team member, nor his captain, and she did not have the authority to order him to do things for her.

"Then I may need to have more contact with you in the future to avoid unnecessary actions."

As an explorer, Xiyue knew that a noble identity in the Taixu Realm could bring many conveniences, and could even sometimes be used to reverse an inevitable fatal situation.

Therefore, if she had a choice, she would try her best not to give up this identity that brought her a lot of help.

"no problem."

As long as there was no exchange of interests that could be discovered, Xiyue's frequent visits to him would only be seen as an aristocrat trying to win over a retired soldier with particularly good skills.

Or maybe it's the curiosity that arises after a hero saves a beautiful girl.

There are so many excuses to use.

The consequences of this level of interaction are completely within Mo Hao's ability to handle.

As he spoke, Mo Hao raised his hand slightly and cast a [Blood and Qi Diversion] on Xiyue.

A stream of refined blood energy surged within Xiyue's body, suppressing the Taixu Realm power pollution that was beginning to become active into a corner, and even greatly reducing the activity of the pollution.

The enhancement of blood energy did not have much effect on Xiyue, but suppressing pollution and reducing activity obviously helped her a lot.

After the activity of pollution was suppressed, the brain suddenly became much clearer.

"What plans do you have? I'll see if I can cooperate here."

"To put it simply, because of the defeat, the Reinigeman Empire will have to sign a number of unequal treaties. Congress and the nobility will definitely not afford the money, and the compensation will probably be shared equally among the people."

As both were explorers, and there was no obvious conflict of interest between the two parties, Mo Hao did not hide his plans.

Because if you say it out loud, you can get Xiyue's help in some cases.

"Signing an unequal treaty and having the people bear the cost of compensation, over-issuing banknotes will dilute the people's wealth. After that, the prices of food and goods will definitely increase significantly, and the money in the hands of the people will no longer have value."

Mo Hao pointed his fingers and began to make predictions about the future one by one. In other words, he was retelling a certain history that was bound to repeat itself.

"Everything else is fine, but when the price of food exceeds what people can afford, it will inevitably cause unrest."

If the history textbook that Mo Hao has studied is condensed into one sentence, it must be that when the people can't afford to eat and can't survive, there will inevitably be a tsunami that will sweep away all the existing order and return everything to zero.

Generally speaking, this behavior is called [uprising], [rebellion] and [revolution].

Everyone knows this truth, but everyone feels that the oppression is not severe enough. Those people will not just rebel and continue to intensify the oppression.

"So, you want me to secretly help you increase the intensity of exploitation within the aristocratic circle?"

"No." Mo Hao shook his head. "As for my ability in this area, the ideas I have come up with after racking my brains are not as powerful as the ideas they came up with while using the toilet. I never use my hobbies to challenge other people's professional fields. You just need to help me pay attention to the trends in the aristocratic circle and convey the information."

Xiyue couldn't help but ask, "So what are you going to do?"

"Watch and wait until food prices are high enough, until the people's wealth evaporates, and until life becomes increasingly difficult. If you are free, you can contact my team members and bring them here."

Whether it is Mo Hao or Xiyue, they need manpower to accomplish what they want to accomplish, and in the entire Taixu Realm, there is no one more trustworthy than his teammates.

"Also, I need some time to find a common enemy recognized by everyone."

People need enemies, no matter where they come from.

Common enemies and common beliefs are equally important.

……

After saying goodbye to Xiyue, Mo Hao walked on the street, walking very slowly and looking very seriously.

Looking at the store clerk coming out of the store with his personal belongings in his arms, looking helpless and heavy, it was obvious that he had been fired.

Maybe it’s a problem with business performance, or it may be that the work does not meet the boss’s requirements.

But no matter what, it means that there is one more person in the city who is worried about tomorrow's food supply.

Looking at the long queues in front of grocery stores and bakeries, even though the store clerks have repeatedly stated that there will not be enough goods once the queues reach a certain length.

But the others still did not leave, looking at the increasingly shorter line with hope, hoping that there was still enough stock.

And the fifth time I saw the store clerk come out to post a notice of price increase.

In contrast, on the street that Mo Hao left, police were patrolling in groups of two or three, and driving away people wearing tattered clothes who looked like beggars.

Because it is a place frequented by rich people, and they cannot allow ragged beggars and peasants to disturb them.

A retired soldier in military uniform sat in an inconspicuous corner, holding drawing paper and a wooden board that he got from nowhere, and completed a sketch of a street scene.

Thanks to excellent muscle control, what he draws is 70% to 80% similar.

Whether it was the arrogant faces of the policemen or the shivering bodies in thin clothes in the evening breeze.

The down-and-out painter in military uniform watched the scene calmly, but his eyes seemed to be burning with flames.

Using ambition, hegemony, and viciousness as fuel, the flame of desire burns fiercely.

“They need food.”

"But what is needed more is a fire, a fire that destroys all spiritual shackles."
