Unless you can abandon all your own qiē, there is nothing left to cut off the relationship between yourself and luck. Otherwise, it would be impossible to cultivate. will be suppressed by luck.

For example, Wen Fei now wants to practice, vipassana the light of the heart, and cultivate his life. But luck, merit, incense, and wishing all these rays of light will obscure all his own faint light.

For example, every time Wen Fei goes out of his body, his soul will be wrapped in a lot of luck and merit, and he can't see the original light of his soul clearly. And the divine soul is the greatest foundation of a cultivator.

To put it bluntly, the foundation of Wenda Heavenly Master's cultivation has been cut off. Wen Fei doesn't like to think deeply about this thing, so he vaguely understood these things before, but he didn't think too clearly.

It wasn't until I was in bed for a few months last time and bored that I had time to calm down and think through the path I was going to take.

The path of ordinary monks has been cut off at Wen Fei's feet. There were only two paths he could practice, and one was to turn to the path of God.

And Shinto, ordinary acquired deities, are limited by luck and incense. Gray with the changes of luck at any time......

For example, Wen Fei, the celestial master, was sealed by the Northern Song Dynasty with the help of the luck of the Northern Song Dynasty, if the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed by the Jurchens. If the Jin people refuse to recognize their status, then these acquired gods will only be annihilated and dissipated.

Therefore, the way of the acquired gods, although for Wen Fei, is extremely simple. For example, the current Ghost Emperor Dazun is still in the category of acquired gods, although he is already the most powerful type of acquired gods.

But in terms of the current vision of the Great Celestial Master. But it is absolutely unacceptable. Unless it is a congenital god, Wen Fei is interested. And this Ghost Emperor is the key.

Wen Fei estimated that as long as the Ghost Emperor Dazun ruled the entire Yin World. Recognized by the laws of the underworld, contact with the Great Dao Force. will become an innate god who presides over the underworld.

In any kind of early mythology, the gods of the heavens, the gods of the underworld (the gods of the underworld), the gods of the earth, or the gods of the sea, were the most powerful gods of the first age of heaven and earth. Whether it's ancient Greece. It is also reflected in Japan, and even more in mythology.

Therefore, he can completely control the laws of the netherworld. It will definitely be one of the most powerful innate gods. This is the path that Wenfei is really likely to take in the future.

And this Ghost Emperor is the opportunity for the enlightenment of the Great Heavenly Master in the future!

The other is even more difficult. But the achievements are also even greater. Wen Fei didn't even think clearly about whether he should take that path in the future! This is the case for yourself. That road seems to be more suitable.

However, even if you go that route. The body of the Ghost Emperor is also very useful.

So no matter how you calculate it, it is impossible for Wen Fei to let the Ghost Emperor Dazun give birth to an independent personality, beyond his own control.

It seems that now, the only solution is to be more diligent in the underworld. Don't give independent personalities any chance to grow!

Day 2

The palace is not far away, but it is not that Wen Fei has to put up a shelf, but it is really Wen Fei who is beginning to worry about his safety.

The Tao is not up to the nobles. The nobles have the protection of dynastic luck and the protection of official spirit. Ordinary cultivators absolutely do not want to provoke.

Say practical. In the land of Shenzhou, the most powerful force in history has never been gods and Buddhas. It's a dynasty, it's the Son of Heaven. Taoist monks who have always interfered in politics have never ended well.

But Wen Fei is different, he doesn't use Taoism to mix and politics!

Accompanied by all the honor guards, Wen Fei entered the palace directly without notification.

Knowing that Wen Fei, the Shang father, was coming, Zhao Ji hurriedly walked out of the palace gate. His face was not very good, but he smiled and said, "Why is Father Shang so free today?" Alas...... Yang Jian is bold and reckless. He actually stirred up a popular uprising in the locality, and even mobilized officers and soldiers without permission, and lost several battles in a row......"

Zhao Ji vaguely knew some of these things before. But Zhao Ji was busy having fun, and he didn't think that those thieves could cause any big trouble. didn't take it to heart, but the most important thing is that Yang Jian and Wen Fei have a special relationship, and they have to give Shang's father some face.

So Zhao Ji didn't take it to heart, turned a blind eye, and let Yang Jian clean up the mess and wipe his butt by himself. But he didn't expect that after Yang Jian was killed this time, Zhao Ji paid a little attention to state affairs, and felt that the world didn't seem to be very good.

It doesn't seem to be the peaceful and prosperous appearance of the people around him. In particular, many places have been dry, and watching the twists and turns of the night made him a little thrilled. And he wouldn't have looked at these things carefully before.

Zhao Ji got serious, he had a "huge" empire. I don't really care much about my subordinates causing trouble. The key is that Yang Jian's accumulation of wealth is actually to help him Zhao Ji gather.

In recent years, there has been another war, and there have been successive major battles in the northwest, and military spending has risen sharply. Originally, even if there was no war every year, the annual military expenditure accounted for more than half of the total income of the imperial court.

The cost of raising soldiers in all dynasties has never been as high as that of the Northern Song Dynasty, with as much as 50 or 60 million yuan every year. If it is calculated according to the proportion of one tael of silver in the usual money, then the annual treasury income of the Ming Dynasty in the future generations will only be three or four million taels. Only a fraction of the Northern Song Dynasty......

One of the biggest flaws of the conscription system in the Northern Song Dynasty was that there was no reasonable retirement system. Once a young man is recruited into the army, he can work until he is 60 years old. And the age of the truly combat-effective soldiers should be from 20 to 40 years old, so the imperial court of the Northern Song Dynasty used state finances to feed the ineffective veterans for 20 years.

This is not counting, Song raised soldiers, following the disadvantages of five generations, in addition to the moon year, there are also various additional rewards. The most prominent is the triennial outskirts. In the suburbs, the soldiers were rewarded, and the five dynasties at the end of the Tang Dynasty appeared repeatedly, and it became customized in the Song Dynasty.

For example, the last time Wen Fei participated in the Huanqiu Festival, he spent tens of millions of dollars in the end......

Just to feed these millions of redundant soldiers who lack combat effectiveness, they consume nearly 80% of the fiscal revenue every year.

This is not just the pay for the army, not the cost of the war. In the event of war, it is likely that tens of millions will be added. This time, the Song army was powerful, first destroying Tibet, and then fighting Western Xia. Money is spent like flowing water. The treasury is already stretched thin.

In addition, it is necessary to build Gen Yue and build the Shenxiao Heavenly Palace...... All kinds of expenses need money. Otherwise, Cai Jing would not have been forced to issue ten dollars. That's why Zhao Ji pretended to be confused, and let Yang Jian's goods go to mess around and make money......

In fact, the reason for this situation is also clear to Wen Fei, he went back for more than ten hours that night, checked I don't know how much information, and consulted several "masters".

To put it bluntly, the forbidden army of the Northern Song Dynasty was a refugee camp. Every time there is a flood or drought, in order to prevent the displaced people from unresting, the imperial court will recruit the young and strong people in the affected areas into the Xiang army, so that they can serve as soldiers, feed their families, and live, so as to eliminate the turmoil.

Many criminals in the Northern Song Dynasty were sentenced to assassinate and conscript, which was also an important source of recruitment. Many times, the more local recruits are recruited, the more the recruiters are rewarded. And these armies are raised like pigs, they don't practice at all, and they have no combat effectiveness at all.

It can be said that among the millions of troops in the Northern Song Dynasty now, only the tens of thousands of Western troops can really fight...... As for saying that he can't defeat Shuibo Liangshan, it can't be said that the enemy is too strong, it's just that he is too incompetent......

Zhao Ji is very clear about these problems. In fact, the emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty in all dynasties were very clear. Otherwise, there would not be a new policy for Qingli, and Wang Anshi would change the law. It's just that Zhao Ji is romantic by nature, and romantic people are just ambitious, and they are unwilling to be down-to-earth.

Let Zhao Ji pursue Fengheng Yuda, and let him carry out reforms without hesitation, that is to kill him...... Anyway, let's get by, and wait for the next emperor to solve it...... But this mess, he still has to maintain.

Of course, Wen Fei knows Zhao Ji's temperament and mentality best, and in the past, Master Wen Da Heavenly Master also had a concern for this. After all, he is also the kind of ordinary person who gets by.

Ninety-nine percent of the people in this world are mediocre. When everyone reads, they know that if they work harder, they will have a better future. But if you really work hard, you have already started working hard......

If you are unwilling to work hard, even if you know this truth, you still refuse to work hard.

When working, everyone knows that they have to work harder in order to have a better tomorrow. But everyone would rather complain about social injustice than become a workaholic and put in 120 percent of the effort.

To put it bluntly, everyone is dissatisfied with their current situation, but they are unwilling to change it with hard work.

Only one percent, or even less, has that kind of perseverance and perseverance. This kind of character, if he fails, he can be called a hero.

Wen Fei realized this a long time ago, but fortunately, he was lucky, he had an adventure, and he stood high enough. It's almost the same as the second ancestor who inherited the family property.

The difference is that Wen Fei clearly knows that it won't be long before he will go bankrupt, so he is still making some efforts to save the fate of going bankrupt......

In essence, he and Zhao Ji are a kind of people. So he never felt that Zhao Ji was anything mediocre. Because he was not much stronger......

But now, it's a little different. The opportunity for enlightenment beckoned to him. Now Wen Fei deeply understands that the root cause of the Qiē problem in the Northern Song Dynasty is the problem of money.

Even in the past dynasties, or in modern times, the biggest problem faced by the government is the problem of money.

Zhao Ji smiled bitterly: "That Zhang Tianjue is dead, and the local officials in Hengzhou sent a condolence report. Yang Jian's goods are indeed not angry, and the mess caused is too big. The Liangshan Grass Bandits were all forced to rebel by him, and I immediately sent a large army to wipe out the Liangshan Bandits in one fell swoop!"
