Douluo Continent: Reincarnated as the Rock King Emperor, Wandering the Mortal World

Chapter 49: Identity Exposed

"A powerful empire should not have orphans or slave trading."

Liyue, the most powerful of the Seven Kingdoms, occasionally experiences orphans and abandonment, but these are all properly handled by the immortals or the Seven Stars.

This is why the House of Hearth has orphans from the other six kingdoms, but not from Liyue.

"We don't say we'll achieve equality for all, or that everyone will be like a dragon."

"So that they can have enough to eat, clothes to wear, and shelter..."

At this point, Zhong Li paused and glanced at Xue Qinghe, who was taking notes in a small notebook.

"???"

Zhong Li was filled with questions. What was going on with Qian Renxue?

"Huh~"

Xue Qinghe was taken aback, looked up, and met Zhong Li's gaze. She subconsciously said, "Guest Elder, please continue?"

"Once I become emperor, I will find a way to make these things happen one by one!"

"However, I'm thinking about something else now."

"How can we develop the empire's economy?"

"Doing all this isn't actually difficult, it's just a matter of money..."

Xue Qinghe said honestly, “In the Douluo Continent today, whether it is industry or manufacturing, it is underdeveloped and even extremely backward!”

Aside from oppression, most ways to obtain Gold Soul Coins involve taking crooked paths...

Upon hearing this, Zhongli couldn't help but glance at Xue Qinghe a few more times.

Does she really trust herself that much?

Zhongli saw only sincerity in her eyes. Based on his extensive experience in judging people, he knew that her gaze was genuine.

Qian Renxue truly trusted him, almost to the point of unconditional trust.

Qian Renxue: Sincerity is the ultimate weapon!

After a moment's thought, Zhongli finally spoke, "If we want the empire to become wealthy, we must first make the common people wealthy."

"Among them, selective development will be targeted at industry, manufacturing, agriculture, and commerce."

"In areas suitable for planting, agriculture should be practiced; in areas unsuitable for planting, manufacturing and other industries can be developed."

"In the business sector..."

Qian Renxue listened and took notes, occasionally asking questions, which Zhong Li answered perfectly.

This made Qian Renxue want to say something, but she couldn't bring herself to say it.

so amazing!

This isn't just about knowing everything about astronomy and geography; he's practically omniscient and omnipotent!

Even how to develop an empire, how to transition from agriculture to industry, and how to transition from industry to commerce, he explained it in great detail!

After a little reasoning, it seems that Zhongli's suggestion makes perfect sense...

He wasn't just talking the talk; he acted as if he had actually managed an empire!

That's so strange!

On the Douluo Continent, aren't there only the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire?

Zhongli's seemingly "practiced" development path truly left Qian Renxue's eyes glazed over.

His eyes were filled with admiration.

That's amazing! So that's how it's solved?

Suddenly, Xue Qinghe seemed to realize something and subconsciously said, "But, but the land is almost entirely in the hands of nobles, this..."

This is a very serious problem. The land is in the hands of the royal family, nobles, and various powerful forces.

Commoners did not own their own land; the land they cultivated belonged to the nobles, not to them.

This is one of the reasons why, despite being busy every day and having a good harvest, they can only afford one meal a day.

They can't even get enough to eat, yet they hope to awaken soul power and a powerful martial soul?

This is even harder than buying a lottery ticket.

Upon hearing this, Zhong Li stroked his chin without speaking, and instead looked at Xue Qinghe.

Does she think she's really the crown prince?

What does the interest of the nobles in the Heaven Dou Empire have to do with her?

Of course, doing so would inevitably provoke resistance from the nobles, and a major war would be unavoidable.

Ultimately, force is still needed to solve this problem.

"Practice diligently. When you are strong enough and have many supporters, you will find that there is nothing you cannot accomplish."

Zhong Li said earnestly.

Liyue, even if he were to build such a prosperous era on his own, could not have done so.

Xue Qinghe paused, as if he had thought of something, glanced thoughtfully at Zhong Li, and finally nodded.

Yes, cultivate diligently.

She was destined to become the God of Angels.

Once she becomes a god, any noble rebellion will no longer be a problem.

With the assistance and guidance of the Rock King Emperor, they will surely be able to create a golden age!

"Sigh~"

"Why can Pain understand every single word you say, but he doesn't understand what you're saying?"

Paimon, munching on an unidentified fruit, remarked instinctively.

The two of them kept babbling on and on, but she really couldn't understand a word they were saying!

It seems to be about how Zhongli once built Liyue...

It also seems like some new things have been added.

"Little Paimon, everything on the table is yours. Eat well, and if you're still hungry, ask the auction house for more."

"Oh? Okay!"

Xue Qinghe had figured out Paimon's personality; as long as she had something to eat, she would be quiet for a while.

At this moment, in the sparsely populated white area, Tang San and Xiao Wu were exchanging something.

"What the hell? These people are just looking down on others!"

"Seeing that we didn't have many gold soul coins, they acted like they didn't care!"

"We're guests too, you know!"

Xiao Wu was very dissatisfied with the host's attitude and said angrily.

Before Tang San could speak, a gentle voice rang out.

"Young lady, you can't blame them for this. You are of no value to them."

"They naturally won't take you seriously, and they certainly won't greet you with a smile."

Upon hearing this, Tang San and Xiao Wu looked towards the source of the voice and saw a middle-aged man dressed in fine clothes, leaning on a scepter.

He was also wearing a mask, so his true appearance was not visible.

Behind him stood an elderly man with a straight posture and a full head of white hair flying in the wind.

Suddenly, the old man shuddered, his heart pounding with excitement and his hands trembling!

When luck comes, there's no stopping it!

It's important to know that since Tang San wasn't taken away by Dugu Bo, he naturally never came into contact with the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well...

No, Zhongli moved the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Wells away. Even if Tang San is taken away by Dugu Bo, he still won't be able to access the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Wells.

Without access to the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, there is naturally no Love-Sickness-Breaking Red!

Xiao Wu was completely exposed in front of a level 96 Super Douluo!

As if sensing Chen Xin's gaze, Xiao Wu suddenly felt a little guilty, and she had a feeling that something bad was going to happen.

This old man's gaze is far too intense.

"Oh, I wonder where to begin with this?"

"We are guests, and those people are guests too, so why are we being treated differently?"

Tang San noticed that this person spoke elegantly and seemed quite extraordinary, so he decided to have a conversation with him.

"It's very simple, they are commodities too."

"But you don't have the means to purchase these goods..."
