The Journey to the West is over, and the Perfect Life System is here

Chapter 272: The Chan Sect's Plan
"Lord Xibo, didn't you say that the seeds distributed by the king had problems and could not be planted? Why did their yield increase so dramatically?" someone questioned.

Ji Chang was speechless. How did he know that the seeds planted by Emperor Xin were so magical?

Moreover, it was the people in Youli who voluntarily said not to plant these seeds.

Now the blame is on him?
"Everyone, don't worry. I think these crop seeds must have been cast under some kind of magic. I don't know if there will be any hidden dangers after eating them." Only after Ji Chang explained this did the people give up.

But after the grain was harvested, those who ate the increased grain were not only fine, but they all praised the grain for being delicious.

This is a big deal.

The people of Youli immediately directed all their anger at Ji Chang.

Although Ji Chang gave the people many small favors on a daily basis, he was even respected and loved by the people of Youli within a year.

However, when it comes to their most fundamental interests, the people are not buying it. Although they haven't gone to the extent of smashing up the Xibohou Mansion, they don't trust him as much as before.

Those who are good at water will drown!

This time, Ji Chang, who was good at manipulating people's hearts, failed!

After finally sending the group of people away, Ji Chang's face became gloomy and he waved his sleeves.

"Di Xin!"

In fact, compared to Ji Chang, the ones who regretted the most were the literati and landlords.

They hold the vast majority of the land.

But in the end, basically no high-yield seeds were planted, and the loss was huge.

They are the ones who truly regret it.

During the morning court session, Emperor Xin said with a smile, "Now that the autumn harvest is over, do you have anything to say?"

The ministers looked at each other in confusion.

The last time we distributed seeds, they strongly dissuaded us and refused to take any seeds home to plant.

Only now do we realize that they are just clowns.

Even Shang Rong, who jumped the most fiercely, did not come out to say anything at this time.

"Your Majesty, we were wrong and shouldn't have questioned you. I hope you can give us some more seeds for the spring plowing next year." A minister came out and said.

The other ministers were also looking forward to it. As long as they could get the high-yield seeds, their own harvests would increase several times next year, which would be incredible.

In the Shang Dynasty, the literati and landlords definitely occupied 90% of the land, and only the remaining 10% belonged to the people.

"You want seeds? Okay! You have to exchange them for something." Emperor Xin said leisurely.

"I wonder what the king needs?" Shang Rong asked.

"Slave!" said Emperor Xin.

slave!?
The ministers were shocked again. They knew that Emperor Xin wanted to abolish slavery, but they didn't expect it to come so soon.

Moreover, after hearing Emperor Xin say that he wanted to exchange slaves for seeds, the ministers acted as if they hadn't heard it.

If we talk about the most valuable property, the first one must be land, and the second one is slaves.

A slave could work for his master for free for decades, and the value he created was inestimable.

Exchanging slaves for seeds seemed uneconomical no matter how the exchange was made, and the batch of seeds that could increase the yield several times had already produced a lot of seeds, and they were planning to take those seeds.

But unexpectedly, Yu Xian'er said: "You may not know that the seeds we distributed last time can only reproduce one generation. The seeds produced by the crops will not bear fruit again, and you can only collect them again.

So the number of seeds is limited, and after they are distributed free of charge in the first year, they will not be distributed again in the second year."

The ministers looked at each other in bewilderment. How could this be possible?
But after they thought about it, they felt that the growth of such a magical seed must come at a cost.

And the price should be the death of a generation!

"One slave in exchange for one liter of seeds, please consider it." Emperor Xin said again.

The ministers were once again in a dilemma.

"Your Majesty, the slavery system is also a legacy left by our ancestors. I think it cannot be easily changed. In this matter, you can't overturn the table and act recklessly!" Shang Rong suddenly shouted.

It would have been fine if he hadn't called out, but once he did, the ministers were startled.

They were so focused on the seeds that they almost forgot that His Majesty had been in a bad mood recently, beheading people, killing people, and overturning tables at the slightest provocation.

If you anger the king, you may lose not only the seeds but also your life.

Thinking of this, the ministers felt a little scared and looked at Shang Rong with gratitude.

It would be nice to exchange some slaves for enough seeds, at least there would be no risk of being beheaded.

Then one of the ministers said, "Your Majesty, one liter is too little! How about two liters?"

"Two liters is too much. It's impossible to use less of those seeds!" Emperor Xin said coldly.

"How about this, my king? How about a compromise in exchange for a slave?" Shang Rong said.

Emperor Xin thought for a while and said, "Okay!"

The ministers looked at Shang Rong with gratitude again.

After the court was dismissed, Emperor Xin said happily, "Old man Shang Rong was quite sensible today! He didn't even talk back to me."

Su Hong and others smiled but said nothing.

On the other hand, Jiang Ziya frowned. After almost a year of getting along with Emperor Xin, he still hadn't made up his mind to judge that Emperor Xin was a tyrant.

Although this guy likes to chop off people's heads and does things a little bit unconventionally, his achievements, whether it is the curved plow or the increase in grain production, are both unprecedented!

Forget it, let’s observe for another year.

However, in the court, all the ministers gathered together.

"Prime Minister Shang, it's a good thing you reminded us before, otherwise we would have made a big mistake." said a minister.

The other ministers were also very grateful.

Shang Rong then said, "When you exchange seeds, try to use some old, weak, sick, and disabled slaves. This way, you won't lose anything and you can still get seeds. The king will have nothing to say."

Joy filled the eyes of all the ministers.

"Wonderful! Wonderful!"

"Thank you, Minister Shang, for your guidance."

They are more convinced of Shang Rong.

But these people didn't see that Shang Rong was happier than them.

Step by step, what a good step by step approach.

Prime Minister Su is indeed a man of great talent.

Although Shang Rong and Su Hong are at loggerheads in the court, they have an unknown friendship behind the scenes.

The more Shang Rong communicated with Su Hong, the more he felt that Prime Minister Su was extraordinary.

The drama in the court was a collusion between them.

Although only a part of the slaves were liberated, it was still a process.

Under Shang Rong's leadership, the ministers will become more and more tolerant.

Moreover, according to their idea, in a few years, when there are more knowledgeable people, those officials who are just sitting there doing nothing will be dismissed.

Soon another three years passed, and Chaoge was thriving. Slavery was being abolished, new laws were being implemented, and schools were being established everywhere.

In three years, the bad reputation of Su Hong and others was wiped out, and with the cooperation of Shang Rong, ministers were dragged out and beheaded by Emperor Xin every year.

And every time he cut someone down, they found out that they were all corrupt officials.

Year after year, although Jiang Ziya recorded all of Emperor Xin's evil deeds, he did not leave in the end, and even joined Su Hong and their small group imperceptibly.

In Yuxu Palace.

Yuanshi frowned slightly and said to his disciples.

"The Shang Dynasty's destiny was destined for only twenty-four years, but why was it growing stronger and stronger? Wasn't Ziya an official in the Shang Dynasty? Why didn't he disrupt the Shang Dynasty?"

Their main purpose during the Conferred Gods Tribulation was to follow the will of Heaven, support the Zhou Dynasty and destroy the Shang Dynasty, and then use Shen Gongbao's characteristics to push him to the Shang Dynasty and kill the Jiejiao disciples. However, now, the Shang Dynasty's national fortune is growing day by day, showing no signs of decline.

This is against God's will.

It will also increase the difficulty of attacking Shang.

"Master, Junior Brother Zi Ya has not yet entered the immortal path. Maybe he has the will but not the ability." The Immortal of the South Pole said.

Yuan Shi said, "You must think of a way to destroy the Shang Dynasty's national fortune."

"Master, I have two ways to achieve my goal," Guangchengzi said. "First, I will use my immortal power to suppress the human race, causing natural disasters and then man-made disasters. When unrest breaks out, the people will surely refuse to obey the human king."

"This won't work. We don't know how many tricks the human race has up their sleeves. If we are too extreme, we can't guarantee they won't take action. What's more, Nuwa is the Holy Mother of the human race, and Master Taiqing is the leader of the human religion." Nanji Xianweng directly rejected this idea.

"The second option is the best strategy," Guangchengzi smiled and continued, "As the saying goes, beautiful women bring disaster. We only need to send a beautiful woman to charm Emperor Xin, causing chaos in the palace. If the harem is in turmoil, the Shang Dynasty will definitely fall."

"Senior Brother Guangchengzi, isn't this too bad? The people will be the ones who suffer in the end." Jade Ding Zhenren said with some reluctance.

"People who achieve great things don't care about trivial matters. Do you want to be on the list?" Nan Ji glared at him.

Jade Ding Zhenren couldn't say anything more.

"I agree with Senior Brother Guangchengzi's second plan." Chi Jingzi said.

The others also agreed that this was undoubtedly the best way.

Even Yuanshi nodded and asked.

"But who should we send? Do you have anyone suitable?"

"I think it would be better to send a witch."

"No, no, Goddess Nuwa governs the demon tribe. If she sends demon girls to wreak havoc in the palace, what will Goddess Nuwa say?"

"Which fairy?"

"inappropriate."

"I've been traveling around the world and heard that the daughter of Jizhou Hou Su Hu is very beautiful. How about..."

"It still doesn't work. How can the human race be of one mind with us?"

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, what should I do?"

At this moment, Nanji Xianweng laughed and said, "You are really confused. We in the Xianjiao have an excellent candidate. Why can't you see it?"

"Who is the good candidate?" everyone asked.

The Immortal of the South Pole pointed, and everyone looked over, their eyes suddenly lit up.

Cihang!

Guang Chengzi laughed and said, "That's right, Junior Brother Cihang is very beautiful. He only needs to dress up as a woman, and he will be more beautiful than a fairy. The most important thing is that Junior Brother Cihang has an elegant temperament, which few people can match.

"Everyone, how about sending Junior Brother Cihang?"

"This... this is not good!" Cihang said in embarrassment, but he was a little eager in his heart. At the same time, he secretly glanced at Yuanshi.

"Cihang is indeed a good candidate, let's decide it!" Yuanshi made the decision directly.

Soon, Cihang changed into women's clothes.

At this moment, he had a dignified appearance, a handsome appearance, and his every frown and smile was captivating.

"Ah, this... is this Junior Brother Cihang?" Ju Liusun asked in surprise.

"This... is so beautiful."

The others also praised collectively.

Yuan Shi frowned slightly, then said calmly, "Ci Hang, this mission is now yours. You must confuse the Human King and make him make a grave mistake, thus ruining the fortunes of the Shang Dynasty."

"I obey your command, Cihang!" Cihang replied, then turned into a beam of light and left.

Yuanshi continued, "The Conferred God Tribulation has begun. Cihang will surely be able to confuse the King of Shang. Ziya has also taken advantage of the situation and will find a chance to release and force Shen Gongbao to rebel!"

"Master, this isn't good! Junior Brother Shen Gongbao is also a disciple of my Chan Sect..." said a middle-aged man who looked honest and simple.

"A disciple of the Chan Sect? Is he worthy? Didn't Master accept him as his disciple just so he could be of some use now?" Guang Chengzi sneered, "Junior Brother Huanglong, are you trying to intercede for Shen Gongbao?"

"No... no..." The honest middle-aged Taoist immediately shook his head.

This is Taoist Huanglong among the Twelve Golden Immortals. He became a disciple of Yuanshi by chance.

It is no secret that Yuanshi does not like people with fur and horns, so Yuanshi does not like this disciple.

Taoist Huanglong was actually the one who had the worst fate among the Twelve Golden Immortals. Yuanshi did not love him and did not even give him a magic weapon. The other brothers always excluded him intentionally or unintentionally. Only Shen Gongbao, who also achieved enlightenment through an unusual means, had a good relationship with him.

"That's good! The Conferred God Tribulation is a big event. No one can bear the responsibility if any mistakes are made." After Guangchengzi finished speaking, he said to Yuanshi.

"Master, if Junior Brother Cihang cannot successfully deceive the Human King, what should we do?"

"He is just the Human King, not the Human Emperor. There is always a way to deal with him." Yuanshi said.

Nan Ji Xian Weng, Guang Chengzi and others also nodded. Besides, which man in the mortal world can resist the temptation of beauty?
……

Jinxia Cave in Yuquan Mountain.

After Jade Ding Zhenren returned, he sighed heavily, and a young man with a special vertical line on his forehead walked over.

"Master, what happened?"

This young man was Yang Jian who was taken away by Jade Ding Zhenren.

"Your master called us together to discuss matters. He said he wanted to devise a plan to destroy the Shang Dynasty. The people will suffer again. I, your master, cannot bear it." Jade Ding Zhenren said.

Yang Jian remained silent. With his abilities, he was unable to help his master solve his problems.

"You don't have to worry about this matter. The catastrophe of Conferred Gods is approaching, so you should practice well. When the time is right, you can go to Taoshan to rescue your mother. Later, I will teach you how to Conferred God with your physical body." said Jade Ding Zhenren.

"Yeah!" Yang Jian responded.

After Yang Jian left, he returned to the cave.

A black dog was lying on a chair inside, with a large pot of bones on the stone bench next to it. Its tail was wagging, and it looked very comfortable.

"Xiaotian, Master seems to have encountered some difficulties. Do you have any suggestions? I want to become stronger so that I can rescue my mother, find my father, my elder brother and my younger sister, and help Master."

"How many times have I told you to call me Lord Xiaotian?" Xiaotian Dog lazily opened his eyes and said, "Since you've begged me sincerely, Lord Xiaotian will reluctantly help you this time."

"Your main technique is the Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique, which is a technique left behind by Pangu. This shows that your master is quite kind to you."

"I have another method here that can assist you in practicing the Eight-Nine Profound Art. It can also speed up the process of practicing the Eight-Nine Profound Art."

"What kind of martial arts?" Yang Jian's eyes lit up.

He picked up Xiaotian Dog, and one day he suddenly started talking.

Afterwards, he agreed to Xiaotian Dog's request and did not tell his master Jade Ding Zhenren about it.

However, Yang Jian could guess that there was an ancient soul in Xiaotian's body.

And Xiaotian also helped him a lot, he felt that he and Xiaotian were good friends.

"This method is called the Heaven-Swallowing and Earth-Eating Method. It is a method left behind by the Demon God." Roaring Sky Dog stood up and put his two front paws behind his back in a serious tone.

I don't know how he did it, but the fact is that he did it.

"The method of swallowing the sky and devouring the earth? How to practice this method?" Yang Jian asked hurriedly.

"Simple! This method has only one way to practice, and that is - eating!" said Xiaotian Dog.

"Eat???" Yang Jian was a little confused.

"That's right, it's all about eating." Xiao Tian Dog explained, "Eating immortals, gods, monsters, humans, and natural treasures can all be converted into energy to propel the Nine Revolutions Profound Art. As long as you can eat, as long as you have enough to eat, your strength will improve rapidly.

However, it is not a good thing to improve your realm quickly. You still need to cultivate your state of mind. If your state of mind cannot keep up, you will be driven by desires, and then you will be gone!
Overall, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages!"

If it weren't for the fact that this kid had served him for so many years, Xiaotian Dog wouldn't have been so dedicated.

Moreover, Xiaotian Dog's plan is to first rely on Yang Jian to enter the catastrophe. The stronger Yang Jian is, the safer he will be.

"Okay! I'll practice this method!"
