After eating the Dragon Blood Fruit, the officials sat down and listened attentively to Emperor Hong Wu's words.

"The Dragon Blood Fruit is said to be produced when dragons' blood splashed onto the earth and the fruits are the rare immortal fruits in the Mysterious Gate. "I have studied in the Gate of Creation at a young age, so I know a lot about these things. This fruit was stolen from me when I attacked the Mysterious Ten Thousand Stars Sect. Now, I don't have much of it." Emperor Hongwu spoke earnestly as if he was recalling something, "Those outsiders and cultivators who call themselves' immortals' and 'cultivators' are actually at odds with our imperial government. They feel that they are superior to others, and that they view the people as ants. "

"Your Majesty, the three thousand disciples of the Celestial Sect of Wonders who came from the mortal world wholeheartedly wanted to break away from the mortal world and look down on ordinary people. They view the common people as worthless and ants, and they think themselves to be above others, yet they think that the common people would worship them. Sun Qing, this great scholar, stood up. "Could it be that the whole world is filled with kings? "This official believes that these outsiders should follow the laws of the kingdom and bow before the imperial government. They must at the very least keep their tails between their legs and not interfere with the development of the imperial government."

"I know that I will have to do it sooner or later. What does that mean? It was the location of the Royal Transformation! Those Three Thousand Mysterious Gates outside the city who boast to be carefree and unfettered, in reality, only want to break away from order and disrespect the emperor. " The Great Celestial Emperor narrowed his eyes. "One day, I will let everyone know that 'Immortals' are nothing special. 'Immortals' are also cultivated by humans. If they can be cultivated, it is not impossible for everyone in the world to become immortal!"

We, the monarchs, have talked too much today. Let's talk business first. "In the case of government affairs in the world, if it is not a major event, all of you can decide it yourself. But in the case of national policy and national destiny, it must be decided by me."

"This subject and others do not dare to comment on the national policy. "It is up to the Emperor to decide. We subjects can just execute it." Sun Qing stood up, "Now, the most important thing is the sudden flood in Yangzhou, the relief for the victims, and the princes coming out to collect the barbarians. There had been a sudden flood in Yangzhou, countless houses had collapsed, cattle and livestock had been killed or injured, dozens of families had disappeared, and hundreds of thousands of people had been displaced. This was a huge problem. Furthermore, the princes and officials of the front lines are also in the middle of the war, and I am afraid that if news of this matter were to spread to the front lines, their morale will be shaken. "

"Your Majesty, I have a song to play on this matter as well." At this time, Dong Yong also stood up, "The Yangzhou flood. The corpses of wild beasts and livestock were everywhere, and this subject was afraid of a plague. Thus, I sent people to migrate among the tens of thousands of victims and to leave the area that was flooded with floods. I also have different views on the placement of these victims. Now that the princes had come out for battle, all of the princes had taken down their fiefdom in the past two months. The thirty-six princes have even come later. With the completion of the previous generation's construction, even the road has been cleared. Right now, there are too few people in the feudal fiefdom and their resources are limited, making it difficult to do business. "

"Thinking of all these, I wanted to place these victims in his fiefdom. Firstly, it was to relieve the disaster, and secondly, it was to fill up the population for him. Thus, I decided to use the tone of the Cabinet and the Emperor to issue an imperial edict for them to carry it out." Dong Yong kneeled down. "Please forgive me, Your Majesty! Regarding these, the thirty-sixth prince also has a memorial paper, which he sent back using the Greater Thousand Transmission Talisman. "

As he spoke, he handed over the paper that Hong Yu had written.

"Old Thirty-Six's words are getting more and more powerful." Emperor Hong Wu looked at the calligraphy paper that Hong Yu had written. The handwriting was vigorous and majestic with some charm. He could not help but chuckle: "Stand up, I do not blame you. You are doing this for the sake of the disaster, for the sake of the people. My affairs are entangled, I can't focus on all of them, big and small. Tens of thousands of victims have already been settled down, so it is a matter of utmost urgency. By the time we come to a conclusion, who knows how many citizens will starve to death and freeze to death. As long as it is for the sake of the people, I am willing to give you the right to do as you please. "

"Yes sir!" Dong Yong stood up.

"Old Thirty-Six said a lot in the paper." He talked about how he had subdued the barbarian god envoys and how he had used the ancient Divine Manipulation Talisman to control them. However, he had seized the talisman and had taken control of the third level divine envoy of the thousand year old demon corpse of the barbarian race. The Monarch continued to look down at the paper. He was reading very carefully, as if he was carefully reading every word.

"The thirty-sixth prince does indeed have some demeanor of a great man. He also mentioned that he had fought against the barbarians and obtained quite a number of spoils of war. Some of them were exchanged for the Desolate Dragon Thunder of our Godly Academy and the Mo family's Pangu Energetic God of Great Spirit, who attacked him at the same time, built a land for him and opened up a road for him. "In addition, the Mo family's fourth lady, Mo Ningxiang, has been subdued by His Highness 36. She has now led her troops to seek refuge with him and is currently stationed at his feudal fiefdom." It was obvious that Dong Yong had long since looked through the reports, and even sent people to secretly gather quite a bit of information.

However, the information he knew about Hong Yu was much more than the others.

"Oh? The Desolate Dragon Great Fighter of the Godly Industry Institution's class, and also the Great Strength Giant Spirit God of the Mo family who was overseas? I knew they were old enemies, but they attacked at the same time? It was unbelievable! What sort of treasure did Old Thirty-Six take out to actually move the hearts of these two families? "

Emperor Hong Wu revealed an expression of interest and was about to inquire further when several eunuchs suddenly walked in from outside the door. They knelt at the entrance and a box was held high above their heads.

He then took the box and showed it to Emperor Hong Wu. "Your Majesty, these are the spoils of war that the thirty-six princes acquired during their expedition to the barbarian race, and they sneaked into the temple. He picked up the most precious piece of treasure to offer to Your Majesty as a token of filial piety," he said.

"Oh?" Celestial Emperor Hongwu's eyes narrowed as he laughed, "Old Thirty-sixth has such intentions? My son has hundreds of people, and my daughter has more than ten people, but does that mean she still remembers me? Now that they have something good, it means that they want to keep it for themselves, afraid that others will find out and use all of their treasures to expand their own power.

"Your Majesty, you can't say that. Only when the princes become stronger can they share more of Your Majesty's worries." From this point of view, the princes may not necessarily be without filial piety. On the contrary, they are charging the barbarians for the kingdom. No one dared to reply. In the end, Sun Qing, the first in command, quickly stood forward to help.

Emperor Hong Wu smiled and did not speak. He extended his hand and opened the box, revealing a glass bottle. Inside the bottle was a square imprint of a medicinal pill.

There were even mysterious runes sparkling on top of the pill. Strange images appeared one after another as precious light scattered throughout the room.

"Demon Grandmaster's heirloom pill!" Several cabinet ministers stood up in shock. They were knowledgeable and experienced, and each one of them was a great and deep figure. They were all geniuses, so how could they not see through the origins of this pill?

"Your Majesty, this is the pill. Your Highness thirty-six has received countless of these divine pills, and he is using these pills to invite the Divine Arts Academy's class and the Mo family from overseas to help him. " Dong Yong pointed to the pill in the box as he spoke.

"Oh? This pill was no trivial matter; it belonged to an ancient legacy. If he could use this pill to invite the Mo and Ban Families to help him build his fiefdom, it wouldn't be surprising for them to open up a path. However, I also didn't expect that he would actually be willing to give such a priceless treasure to me. "You sure are considerate." Emperor Hong Wu closed the box and waved his hand towards Zhao Gao, "This pill contains the will of the Ancient Thousand Demons Master. Taking this pill is equivalent to hearing the teachings of the Thousand Demons Master, it might be able to awaken the sacred art. To me, this pill has no effect. "But it's rare for me to have such a kind heart. Pass on my orders and pick out the words that I've personally written to give to Old Thirty-Six."

"Yes sir!" Zhao Gao quickly accepted the order and retreated to work.

The ministers looked at each other, exchanging shocked looks.

The words of Emperor Hong Wu were truly priceless treasures. Putting aside the fact that the Hongwu Emperor was the Celestial Emperor, his every word and action represented the will of the imperial government, covering the entire world. Even if one were to scribble with this word, it would be equivalent to a protective treasure, equivalent to the books and coupons of the past, which could save one's life.

In addition, the words personally written by the Great Emperor contained limitless amounts of divine power.

Just like the Desolate Dragon Great Fighting Thunder of the Godly Artefact Academy, it was precisely because of the talisman written by the Great Emperor himself that it was able to possess divine strength and could be used by others.

However, what were the contents of the words that Emperor Hongwu wanted to bestow to Hong Yu?

Different characters and different content contained different divine power.

Up till now, there had not been a single person who had obtained the handwriting of the Hongwu Emperor. Not even the crown prince, the fourth son of the crown prince, or the most favored eighteenth prince, the Hongtian Talisman …

"Alright, let's continue with the report." Let's not talk about the prince first, I have my own plans for the Wilderness. " "What I'm concerned about now is to advertise the matter of the banknote meter and the dragon spitting out money under the heavens," Emperor Hong Wu continued.

"Your Majesty, the various prefectures and provinces have already begun arranging the promotion. In all areas of prosperity, there are banknote dragons, free registration of information for the people, and the distribution of money meter. Many of the Patriarchs of the Wealthy Classes have joined hands to write a letter saying that they wanted to resist the money meter so that the emperor could take back his order. They said that the money meter was an instrument representing gold, silver, and paper money, and that the money should be replaced with a virtual number.

Another cabinet minister, Crown Prince Fu Weizheng, stepped forward. After he thought about the words, he continued to speak his thoughts, "If someone were to crack the money meter and change the balance to an enormous number, it would bring about a disaster. "What I mean is that we should also suspend the promotion of the money meter and the money spitting dragon, observe the public opinion, and inspect the changes before we make any other plans."

"Humph!" "Old fool Wei Zheng, what do you know?" Sun Qing suddenly stood up and berated.

Ever since Sun Qing and Wei Zheng quarreled in the study room over Hong Yu, the situation between the two was like fire and water.

However, the reason why Sun Qing stood out today was not for personal gain. "In the future, when money is used as an instrument and when money is spat out, these two items will become extremely popular in the world. This is already a trend. Back then, the Emperor had promoted the use of paper money in place of gold, silver, and copper. As a currency, wasn't it still something everyone disliked? However, the fact was that since the issuance of the paper money, everyone had shown that they were advanced. They no longer carried a large amount of copper, gold, and silver on their journey, and instead found it convenient to carry the paper money, easy to circulate, and firm in their purchasing power.

The machine and the dragon were even more advanced. It was much more convenient than paper money. The structure was complicated, and it was even more difficult for the criminal to crack it … Whether it's paper money or money meter, both of them will impact the gold, silver, and jewelry in the hands of those Wealthy Class families. But for the people, this is a real reform, and the success of this is a thousand years in the hands of the people, are you making an enemy out of the people of the world? "

"You! "This old scholar's views …" Wei Zheng was so angry that his face turned red. He was about to continue refuting when he was interrupted by Emperor Hong Wu.

"Alright, let's promote the money meter and money dragon. This is my idea, and it can't be changed." Emperor Hongwu waved his hand and firmly said, "From the ancient cultivation of swords and fires to the trade of gold, silver, and copper, to the present paper, the currency has evolved as history requires it to change. We do what the people need, what's wrong with that? Although paper money can solve some of the problems, it's not enough. Only the banknote instrument, the merchant or the commoner can carry a small instrument and travel the world. This is the true convenience, and can be solved once and for all. "

"The emperor is determined to spread the matter of the banknote instrument. However, creating this Hongcun Instrument requires costs and regular "upgrades". Otherwise, it would be just as Young Master Wei Zheng said, it would be easy for some experts in the outside world to find out the flaw and use it to commit crimes. " Dong Yong suggested, "The emperor has requested that the money meter be distributed free of charge, and it is changed regularly. I'm afraid the burden is quite heavy. Whether it is properly charged or not, the cost can be more or less offset."

"This matter cannot be discussed. If the fee was charged, the citizens would probably feel more conflicted. The only way to gain the public's approval was to get free of charge. If they wanted the commoners to pay their own bills, they would have to resist. "This is the most vile nature of human nature."

Emperor Hong Wu thought for a moment, then waved his hand and said:

"Desire and bad nature are not all bad things, they are also a great driving force for the development of humanity. However, if they were not guided in time, the people's desire would burn in their hearts, breeding evil thoughts and being tempted by the Evil Gods. From time to time, the rise and fall of the dynasty could not be like this. To promote the money meter and to spit out money dragon, this is a big event in the autumn, we should not because of a moment of urgency, cut off the prospects. Knowing my position, any action will affect the future of the world. "The imperial government cannot be stingy with a few coins and obstruct the grand scheme …"
