Awaken Chapter 304

With the ma*sive amount of gold transported.

In full view of the people of Kyoto, the visual impact of the gold stones was so powerful that even the powerful people within Kyoto were dumbfounded one by one.

No one had ever seen so much gold.

Piling so much gold together, it could be called a gold mountain.

It was breath-taking.

Soon, the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Penalty sent people to take over the gold, after making sure that there were no mistakes in the inventory materials.

The Divine Martial Cannon was also personally escorted by the five First Grade powerhouses of the Immortal Sect, but Xu Qingnian had an arrangement, and the two dynasties were not sure in whose hands the Divine Martial Cannon was hidden.

They would go to the Sudden Evil Dynasty first, and then to the Primordial Yuan Dynasty, while the First Grade martial artists of the two dynasties would wait at the corresponding locations.

In other words, with seven First Cla*ses escorting the two Divine Martial Cannons, who would dare to make a fuss?

At the critical moment, the two divine Martial Cannons also represented two First Grades, which meant that a total of nine First Grades could not possibly dare to come and make a fuss.

Even if Prince Yongping had the means to do so, it would be impossible for him to compete with them.

However, confident as he was, he had to be cautious.

This deal, after all, had the world’s attention, and the Sudden Evil Dynasty and the First Yuan Dynasty were the most nervous.

They were afraid that something might go wrong in the middle.

Inside a large hall.

The two princes, Prince Sudden Evil and Prince Chor Yuen, were waiting in the hall with a group of their men.

All the supplies are being counted, and they are waiting in silence for the results.

The supplies are definitely in order, but the two princes are still a little uneasy. Not only them, but even the two emperors behind them still can’t believe that the Great Wei would be willing to give them the Divine Martial Cannon.

It was as if they were dreaming.

But at that moment, Wang Xinzhi, the Minister of Rites, came slowly to the hall and arched his hand slightly towards the two princes.

“I have met the two princes.”

Wang Xinzhi came up and arched his hand towards the two princes.

The two princes did not dare to be arrogant and immediately bowed back towards each other, and then smiled and said.

“Dare I ask you, Wang Xinzhi, how is the liquidation of the supplies?”

The Prince of Tusi opened his mouth, the first to ask about the liquidation of supplies.

When he heard this, Wang Xinzhi did not sell himself short and looked at the two men and said straightforwardly.

“The two princes, the king of pacification, explained that the two dynasties cooperated in good faith, the material liquidation is just a process, the king has already sent people to the two dynasties and sent the main stem of the divine martial artillery over.”

“This time the two princes need to escort the formation jade, double insurance, if the formation jade is broken, at least the main body is still there, the big deal is that our dynasty sends someone to the two dynasties.”

“If the main body is destroyed, there is no need to worry, I believe the two dynasties can also refine it, in short, Your Majesty hopes that this transaction will go smoothly.”

“This transaction does not only represent the friendship of the three dynasties, but also the hope that the Central Continent will be peaceful, only that there are many people in this world who do not want the Central Continent to be so peaceful.”

“Therefore, the two princes should pay more attention.”

Wang Xinzhi spoke up, and he reminded the two of them, and the latter immediately understood what Wang Xinzhi meant.

About this, they understood.

So after nodding their heads, the two did not say much.

About two hours later, the group started their return journey.

They had come quickly, but they were also leaving quickly, they had no time to waste, they had to leave quickly.

And so it went.

The rest of the day looked a bit frightening.

For the people, it was just a deal, for the stability of the Middle Continent.

But for many, the deal was fraught with danger.

One misstep and someone will come along and sabotage the deal.

There are definitely not a few people who do not want such stability in China.

But in the end, the result was very satisfying.

It was only two hours.

The Great Wei First Cla*s had already escorted the main body to the two dynasties.

People from both sides rushed back almost as fast as they could.

It was not until eight hours later that the two Princes also sent the jade formation to the two dynasties.

As soon as the divine martial artillery arrived, the Great Emperor of Sudden Evil and the Great Emperor of the First Yuan had holy decrees drawn up for the two dynasties, the lines of which were extremely grateful to Great Wei and expressed the feelings of the two dynasties.

They also expressed their gratitude to the two dynasties and expressed their intention that the Central Continent would be safe and secure.

The deal came to an end with the arrival of the imperial decrees of the two dynasties.

Sudden Evil Dynasty.

On a plain.

The divine martial artillery was set up on a high mountain, and all the civil and military officials, ministers and princes of the dynasty, were present.

With an order from the Great Emperor of Sudden Evil.

At that moment, the Divine Martial Cannon was activated.

In an instant, the sky was filled with dark clouds and beams of lightning entered the Divine Martial Cannon.

The terrifying sound of thunder was deafening, and the lightning rushed through the sky like a dragon cutting through the sky.

Boom.

In the next moment, the Divine Martial Cannon, which had been infused with the power of infinite thunder, instantly exploded with unparalleled power.

A beam of thunder light pushed across 300 miles, crumbling the earth, leaving the sun and moon without light, and turning the towering mountains into flat land in an instant.

An unparalleled power, destroying everything.

In front of this power, the powerful officials of the Sudden Evil Dynasty were utterly and completely dumbfounded.

Those princes and marquises, civil servants and military generals, were also completely numb.

They knew that the Divine Martial Cannon was very strong, but they did not expect that it would be this strong, this was simply unparalleled power.

To say that it was invincible was definitely not an overstatement.

This kind of power made even the Sudden Evil Emperor shake with emotion.

On the dragon carriage.

As he looked at the scene, his body could not help but tremble slightly.

At this moment, the civil and military officials all bowed in unison towards the Sudden Evil Emperor, looking incomparably excited.

“Congratulations, Your Majesty, with such a divine object, the Sudden Evil Dynasty will be stable for a thousand years.”

The officials knelt down and worshipped, firstly because they were shocked by the Divine Martial Cannon and it came from their hearts.

The second reason was to flatter the Emperor and make him happy.

The emperor was really proud of the fact that he was facing the worship of the ministers on the dragon carriage.

However, he also knew that the divine martial artillery was not his own, but was given to him by others.

Therefore, after taking a deep breath and suppressing the excitement within himself, the Emperor looked at the hundred officials and said.

“Great Wei has such a divine object, yet it does not know how to make use of it, and now it is even more so that we have seized the opportunity to claim it.”

“This means that the heavens are helping me, and the heavens are looking after my sudden evil.”

“Otherwise, such a divine object, whether obtained by our dynasty or the Primordial Yuan Dynasty, could dominate the entire Central Continent, so how could it be taken out for trade?”

The Great Emperor of Sudden Evil was overwhelmed with emotion.

He thought that the Great Wei was really stupid, but equally, he understood that the Great Wei was forced to do so.

It just didn’t matter if it was forced or what, the end result, which benefited them, was a good result.

“Your Majesty, I have watched the situation of the Divine Martial Cannon, if there is no accident, within three years, I can build three of them.”

At this moment, the Minister of Works came out, and he was full of confidence, saying that he was going to build three of them out.

When this was said, the Great Emperor of Sudden Evil was overjoyed, while the other courtiers also showed their astonishment.

This one cannon is so terrifying, if you could build three, wouldn’t it be invincible?

“If you can build three Divine Martial Artillery cannons in three years, it will be like a tiger with wings for my Sudden Evil.”

“It is not that I am arrogant and C*cky, if you build three more divine martial artillery cannons, together with this one, I will have four divine martial artillery cannons for my Sudden Evil, and I think the Great Wei will be no better.”

The Great Emperor of Sudden Evil said with unparalleled confidence.

Based on such power, Emperor Tuo Xie could also roughly calculate how many divine Martial Cannons Great Wei had.

However, even if the Emperor was so confident, those who were his subjects could not be blindly confident, and at this moment, someone could not help but speak up, it was Prime Minister Tuzi.

“Your Majesty, Great Wei dares to send two Divine Martial Artillery Cannons, I am afraid that their number will not be less than ten, we still need to be more cautious.”

He spoke out, reminding the Great Emperor of Tusi at a crucial moment not to be conceited nor arrogant.

Just as soon as this was said, the voice of the Minister of Works could not help but ring out.

“Lord Prime Minister, I understand what you mean, but this Divine Martial Cannon, indeed, is crafted from extremely fine spirit gold, and even if the Great Wei had the means to refine it, it would not have so much material.”

“Even with the extremely fine spirit gold that our dynasty possesses, it can only refine three doors, how can Great Wei refine more than ten doors? Counting the six great immortal gates, Great Wei would not be able to scrape together so much extremely fine spirit gold.”

The Minister of Works was not convinced, he just thought that Great Wei did not have so many Divine Martial Cannons.

But at the end, he continued to speak again.

“Your Majesty, I will do my best to build more Divine Martial Cannons, but Your Majesty should also focus on the issue of materials, after this transaction, the Primordial Yuan Dynasty will definitely collect extremely high quality spirit gold, and Great Wei is only afraid that they are collecting it in secret as well.”

“We must not lag behind, we must deploy war and plunder the other powers for the extremely fine spirit gold.”

The Minister of Works proposed, and as soon as these words were spoken, the Ministry of War immediately responded.

As long as it was a matter of fighting a war, the Ministry of War would not refuse.

However, the Sudden Evil Emperor understood the other party’s meaning, but he shook his head and said.

“At the moment there is no need for this for the time being, you can deploy in advance, but do not conquer the war, the reason why Great Wei is willing to trade is that it does not want a great war, and now in exchange for the Divine Martial Artillery, the whole country is paying a great price.”

Gu/span “Rest and recuperate first, and we will discuss things down the road.”

The Great Emperor of Sudden Evil did not advocate conquest.

As he opened his mouth, the ministers did not say anything more.

Likewise.

What was happening in the Sudden Evil Dynasty was also the same in the Primordial Yuan Dynasty.

Everyone was dumbfounded for some time after seeing the power of the Divine Martial Cannon.

They had heard about the power of the First Grade Divine Martial Cannon, but when they actually saw the power of the Divine Martial Cannon, they were even more shocked.

They also understood how insignificant they were.

This time, there was also the First Grade of Primordial One personally coming to watch the parade.

After watching it, the First Prime could not help but be astonished for a long time.

In the end, the answer he gave was that the power of the Divine Martial Cannon was more powerful than the First Grade in terms of range, and a little less powerful than the First Grade, but this difference did not matter.

The impact is not significant.

However, the flexibility is much worse, but after all, it is a dead thing, and this is understandable.

All in all, it is suitable for war, and is a well-deserved war killing weapon.

But compare it to the Sudden Evil Great Emperor’s War Stopper.

The Primordial Yuan Emperor is then inclined towards the main war.

Perhaps because of the Heavenly Thunder Cannon, they understood better that the material for something like the Divine Martial Cannon was one less to refine.

So the Primordial Yuan Emperor deployed two things.

One was to raise the country’s strength to refine more Divine Martial Cannons.

The second was to deploy a war, not a war in the Middle Continent of course, but a war outwards to plunder the very best spirit gold.

Within two years, the war was bound to go out.

They want to win the first opportunity.

This was the idea of each of the two dynasties.

But for Great Wei.

After the deal for the First Grade Divine Martial Cannon was over.

In less than three days, the city was filled with rumours of the gold stone shipments.

It could be said that the whole country knew about it, and together with the great coverage in the Great Wei literary press, the entire population of Great Wei, almost no one knew about it, no one was unaware of it.

The newspaper even described it as one third of all the gold in the world had been gathered in Great Wei.

As a result, all the people knew one thing.

That was that Great Wei had become fat this time.

It was really fat.

There was too much gold.

In this way, the people felt that the deal was not so unpleasant.

At least in exchange for a large amount of gold, it would be of great benefit to the country’s development.

However, countless people were also curious as to whether Great Wei would be exempted from taxes when it received so much gold. After all, when Xu Qingnian was crowned king, Great Wei was exempted from food taxes for three years.

It was also because of this three-year tax exemption that the people were well fed and clothed, and now, as long as they worked hard, they had no worries about food and drink.

Moreover, because of the Dragon Cauldron in the Middle Continent, the grain grown in the grain fields of Great Wei was different.

This has led to competition from all countries and the prices are extremely high.

Not to say that everyone in Great Wei is now rich, but at least they have no worries about food and drink, and they can see some meat and drink every day.

Naturally, they hoped that Wei’s trading of the Divine Martial Artillery would bring some benefit to the people.

Just another day pa*sed.

When the conversation reached a boiling point, finally an imperial decree came out from the Imperial Palace of Great Wei.

The contents of the decree were that the trading of the Divine Constellation Cannon had resulted in a large amount of gold for Wei, and that the people of Wei had been instrumental in making this trade go smoothly.

Therefore, half of the gold was taken out and given to the hardworking people of Great Wei.

However, due to the problem of verification, it was extremely labour-intensive, so a different model was adopted, completely opening up the Great Wei money bank and depositing all the gold in the Great Wei money bank.

As long as the people of Great Wei deposit their silver in the Great Wei Money Bank, they can exchange it for Great Wei Treasure Banknotes, which are paid at an annual interest rate of five per cent.

From now on, the Great Wei Treasure Banknotes are a new type of currency and can be withdrawn or deposited.

This was the general content of the decree.

The news spread, and the people of Great Wei were immediately abuzz with excitement.

Nowadays, the people of Great Wei do have some silver on hand, but they are afraid of being cheated if they take it out for business, or keep it for themselves, because they want to think about future generations.

They were worried about how to generate silver, but they didn’t expect the court to come up with such a thing.

What is the concept of saving silver and getting a five per cent return a year? A hundred taels of silver placed in the Great Wei Money Bank would give an extra five taels of silver a year.

Five taels of silver is a lot for ordinary people.

It is mainly for the next generation.

If it was for oneself, it was indeed not much, but how much silver could the next generation take if they saved for 30 or 50 years?

Therefore, when the news spread, the Great Wei money changers all over the various provinces could be described as crowded.

At the same time, the previous deed signed between the Sudden Evil Dynasty and the First Yuan Dynasty explicitly required that gold be the settlement currency within the Central Continent.

Now, Xu Qingnian’s move was to counterbalance the Great Wei treasure notes into gold.

In other words, within the territory of the Central Continent, as long as one held the Great Wei Treasure Banknotes, they could be exchanged for gold, and this was the effect Xu Qingnian wanted.

And while it was currently the Middle Continent, the next step was the entire world.

If this plan succeeded, Great Wei would really be rich.

Only, the matter of the Great Wei Money Bank had just been implemented.

Soon.

In the middle of the King’s Palace of Peace and Chaos.

The Minister of Rites came in a hurry with an important matter.

“Your Majesty.”

“Something big is wrong.”

“Someone is secretly causing trouble.”

“Forces from all over the Eastern, Southern, Northern and Western Continents have come to demand the Divine Martial Cannon from my Great Wei.”

“And they are coming with great force.”

“His Majesty means to say that he is joining hands with the Primordial Yuan Dynasty and the Sudden Evil Dynasty to suppress it.”

“What do you think, Your Majesty?”

Wang Xinzhi walked in, and just yesterday, a large pile of letters arrived, letters from various countries, from all the major powers on the five continents, all asking for the Divine Martial Cannon from Great Wei.

The scene they most feared and least wanted to see had happened.

However, just as Wang Xinzhi finished saying this.

In the middle of the royal residence.

Xu Qingnian’s voice could not help but ring out.

“There is no need to negotiate with the two dynasties.”

“Whoever wants it, give it to them.”

Xu Qingnian said indifferently.

He had been waiting for the various powers to come and demand the Divine Martial Cannon.

Now that the other side had sent it to his door, what reason was there not to give it?

One divine Martial Cannon for each power, this could completely balance the major powers.

No one would dare to make the first move against anyone then, after all, they all had Divine Martial Cannons.

Fire the cannon and you’re dead.

But who is the real hegemon?

It must be the Great Wei.

And if you want the Divine Martial Artillery, you need to pay a huge price.

Gold, plus all kinds of precious materials, plus a few dozen contracts.

Recognition of the status of Great Wei, recognition of the Great Wei monetary system.

Great Wei does not need to unify the world.

But with the help of these things, it could control the economic lifeline of the world.

The purpose of fighting a war is also for profit.

What harm could Great Wei do by not fighting a war, by gaining benefits directly, by simply taking out the one thing that, for them, could only be used for self-preservation?

This was Xu Qingnian’s overall plan.

With the help of the Divine Martial Artillery, all crises were defused and economic control was accomplished indirectly.

However.

Xu Qingnian was also clear.

Once it came to this point, the other side would only use their last resort.

Therefore, he had to travel to the Devil’s Domain.

To meet the Midcontinent Immortal Corpse.
