Translator: 549690339
The news of Black Wind Town about to become a nation spread throughout the entire town and nearby villages. Particularly, the benefits after becoming a nation drove the residents insane.
Even.
Many residents from the Western Hami Empire and the Wusi Tibetan Empire on either side of Black Wind Town also got wind of the news.
Its said that people regard food as their sky. Just come to Black Wind Town, and you would be given a mu of good farmland for free. The temptation is even stronger than you can imagine.
Moreover, farming is tax-free?
What does that mean?
For the people in this world, most of them farm for others as tenants. If they produce one hundred jin, they will have to give up eighty jin.
Even if they themselves own good farmland, they would be taxed over sixty percent by the government office. It was not until Gentleman Bai She established the New Yamen that the situation improved.
Now, their agriculture tax is waived, they could harvest as much as they plant, and all they harvested belonged to themselves. Its simply beyond their imagination.
Insane.
Completely insane!
The citizens of the Western Hami Empire and the Wusi Tibetan Empire.
Anyone who found out the news, they all brought their families, crossed the long border, and headed for Black Wind Town.
The locals of Black Wind Town also didnt just stand there. They organized groups and went to the border to welcome these foreigners.
You should know that anyone who brings in a foreigner could earn one or two silver. If the accumulated number is large, they would even be rewarded with gold.
Of course.
Facing such a huge benefit, some people did have their schemes and did some things out of the norm.
But Xuanqing promulgated this policy to develop Black Wind Town, not to satisfy the selfish desires of a few.
Under the gaze of a deity subordinate, if you contribute your own strength honestly, then you deserve to be rich.
But if you have thoughts you shouldnt have and do things you shouldnt do, you will be welcomed by the wrath of thunderbolt.
Yesthe real wrath of thunderbolt, like the thunder from heaven.
Just like that.
With the madness influx of people from the outside and the locals actively welcoming them, the population was growing at a visible speed.
In such a situation.
Time slowly passed.
One month later.
In the crossroad of Black Wind Town, the original low buildings were completely demolished, replaced by five three-story buildings and one six-story building.
The five high-rise buildings are used to set up the five bureaus of History, Agriculture, Industry, Commerce, and Civil Law after becoming a nation. Each office occupies one big building as an office space.
In addition, in the middle of the five buildings, a taller six-story building was constructed.
This building naturally is the royal palace, used for the daily accommodation of the emperor and for conducting court meetings among officials, etc.
In front of the royal palace.
On the vast square.
A nine-meter high altar has been set up. Gentleman Bai She, Black Bear Essence, and a crowd under its command had all stood on the altar.
Below the altar in all directions.
The crowd of common people surged. These people were representatives from various villages and major families.
They were about to witness the birth of the Black Wind Kingdom in front of this palace.
Worship Heaven!
A tremendous sound, like a muffled thunder, resounded from the high altar. If you listened carefully, you would realize its the roar of the Black Bear Essence.
Then.
Above the altar, smoke raised from the igniting stove.
This expressed the intention of human beings respect for heaven being communicated to heaven above.
The emperor performs the ceremony of kneeling and worshiping in front of
Emperor Haotian, and then scenting incense in front of ancestors seats
Though Gentleman Bai She didnt have any ancestors, he had Daoist Xuanqing. Having him lower-ranked is no different from having an ancestor.
At the end of the ceremony.
Gentleman Bai She, wearing a five-clawed black dragon robe, wearing a golden silk crown, held a golden edict in his hand.
Decree!
The edict was thrown into the nine cauldrons used for the heaven worshiping ceremony.
Boom-
The flame instantly burned the minor edict document, transforming it into a wisp of blue smoke that slowly floated towards the sky.
At the same time.
In a room within the palace.
Xuanqing sat cross-legged, his gaze firmly fixed on the direction of the altar.
When he saw the Gentleman Bai She in the black robe throwing the edict document into the Nine Cauldrons.
Now is the time!
A glint flashed in Xuanqings eyes as his palm flipped, revealing a document.
The contents of the document essentially stated that the Black Wind Town was his, Xuanqings territory, and that the establishment of the country was also arranged by him, Xuanqing.
In the end, the document also mentioned that this matter related to Daoist Xuanqings cultivation and he hoped that the Heavenly Court would not hinder this matter and so on.
Boom-
The document of the countrys establishment burned by Gentleman Bai She at the altar!
The advisory document burned by Xuanqing in the room!
Both documents burned at the same time, transforming into blue smoke that floated towards the sky.
About a quarter of an hour later.
Outside the altar.
Heavenly music echoed in the sky, giving rise to a five-colored rainbow bridge. Vaguely, a golden beam of light could be seen descending from the sky.
Black Wind Country has been established!
Amid the cheers of countless commoners, Gentleman Bai She in his black robe leapt into the air.
In an instant.
A golden beam of light enveloped Gentleman Bai She, completely eradicating the demonic energy on him and instead giving birth to an imperceptible special energy, named Dragon Energy!
We salute the King of Black Wind Country, long live the king!
We salute the King of Black Wind Country, long live the king!
We salute the King of Black Wind Country, long live the king!
The people fell to their knees one after another, shouting in unison, celebrating the birth of their king.
They were sincerely congratulating the birth of their king.bender
To be honest.
No matter what kind of world, or what era it is, the common people at the bottom of society are extremely simple. They will support whoever is good to them.
Even the Tang Dynasty, which is a Celestial Dynasty, does not have a country like Black Wind that allocates land and exempts agricultural tax.
Under such circumstances, if they do not support Black Wind, who will?
Palace.
Inside the room.
Xuanqing was jolted awake.
He could sense an indescribable energy gathering in the sky above Black Wind
Town no, it should be said, above Black Wind Country.
This world really is magical, it is much more prosperous than the real world, but there is not a trace of what you would call luck.
This is no longer just about the existence of spiritual energy.
Xuanqing felt that this probably involved rules, the difference in the operation of the rules of heaven and earth between the two worlds.
Whats more.
Under this strange force of national luck.
Xuanqing felt that the Dragon Pearl within his body had a faint reaction.
You should know.
This Dragon Pearl was originally condensed from the Human Path destiny of Black Wind Town.
Now that Black Wind Town has leaped to become Black Wind Country, naturally this Dragon Pearl also started to react.
With a thought!
A pearl emitting a golden glow floated in the air.
Xuanqing gently stroked the Dragon Pearl, a glint of anticipation in his eyes.
Luck Dragon Pearl, its time for you to advance too!
