Chapter 73 The Jade Emperor’s plan?
After leaving the chariot room and arriving at the reception hall, I saw a man wearing a tall crown, with a face as black as coal and as strong as iron, sitting in front of the hall, blowing tea and sipping tea.
"Gu Yunli, the Master of the Internet Palace, I am sorry for not welcoming you, and I am so disrespectful!"
As soon as he stepped into the reception hall, Gu Yunli clasped his fists loudly.
“No, no, I am sorry for disturbing you. I hope Gu Zhenzai won’t blame me!”
Upon seeing this, the iron tower man quickly stood up and returned the greeting.
"I don't know what to call you?"
"I am the Marshal of the Orthodox Oneness Xuantan - Zhao Jinyuan. I have heard of Gu Zhenzai's great reputation for a long time, so I came here to pay a special visit to him!"
"So it turns out to be the God of Wealth. I've heard of you for a long time! I've heard of you
Gu Yunli was surprised. He never expected that this person was the God of Wealth, who held the fifth rank and was one of the four marshals!
No wonder Zhao Mancang said that it looked elegant and luxurious, and he had quite good taste!
only……
Since you are an immortal official in the immortal court, why don’t you announce your name when you pay a visit?
Is there something you can't tell?
Or is it too shameful to see the light?
Full of doubts, the guest of honor took his seat.
After the ghost messenger served the tea, the God of Wealth said straight to the point:
"To be honest with Master Gu, I came here to seek an alliance."
"Oh? I'd like to hear the details."
"I am in charge of the legitimate finances, I control thunder and lightning, I can eliminate plagues and ward off disasters, I have temples all over the world, I have countless believers, I can be an online bank, if you and I join forces, we can definitely benefit the world! What do you think, Gu Zhenzai?"
Wu Caishen's tone didn't sound like a discussion but more like a notification.
In other words, by not asking questions or launching an attack at this time, he was already giving face to Emperor Qingxu.
No one knows that the emergence of online banking has already divided the power of the God of Wealth again, and there is even a tendency for it to replace it.
As all the forces in the world were flocking to him, Zhao Jinyuan felt only fear and anger.
But he was helpless.
Because the God of Fortune also has the power to make extra money.
He has a legitimate reason for being a teacher!
This is also the common situation in the fairyland at present.
Except for a very small number of people with special Taoist lineages, the powers of most immortal officials overlap. You are in me and I am in you.
It’s like although he is the God of Wealth, he also serves as a military general.
"If you want to set up an online bank, you need to have a business license. This is the rule set by Emperor Qingxu. I can't go against the Emperor's will. I hope you can forgive me!"
Gu Yunli declined politely without thinking.
The business license has been issued.
How can I let you off just because of one word from you?
You know, there are quite a few people in the Immortal Court who hold the power of the God of Wealth.
Once a precedent is set, there will be endless troubles.
"Gu Zhenzai is the master of the network. Isn't the matter of the network just a matter of Gu Zhenzai's words?"
"You think too highly of me! Without the cultivation of Emperor Qingxu, how could I be called the True Lord? If you really want to open an online bank, it would be better to find someone to cooperate with you."
Gu Yunli doesn't like to be flattered.
However, when he refused, he still pointed out a clear way forward.
He issued twenty business licenses, and as long as you are willing to negotiate hard, you will always find a sect willing to cooperate.
What’s more, the God of Wealth is a fifth-rank immortal official?
Little did he know that the God of Wealth Wu was already furious when he mentioned Emperor Qingxu all the time.
——He boasted that paying a visit was already an honor, but he didn't expect that Gu Zhenzai would be so ungrateful and simply refused to accept his toast!
"If I were to issue an order to the whole world that the people burn incense and give money, what would Gu Zhenzai think?"
Wu Caishen's expression turned stern, with a threat hidden in his tone.
——The subtext is clearly saying that if you don’t give me a business license, I can’t open a bank?
Speaking of which, since he could set up a bank privately, why did he come to Gu Yunli?
It turns out that he wanted to earn two kinds of incense. One is the incense redeemed by Internet points;
One part is for common people to offer incense.
After all, when people go to the temple to withdraw money, why shouldn't they burn incense at the same time?
"Excellent! There is great potential in this matter!"
Gu Yunli clapped his hands and laughed, not taking the threat from Wu Caishen seriously at all.
"Okay, okay, it seems that I was just being sentimental! Goodbye."
The God of Wealth laughed in anger, suddenly stood up and left angrily.
"Go slowly, don't send me away!"
Gu Yunli stood up and bowed, but was too lazy to see him off.
I sneered in my heart.
You really have a good plan. You want a business license from me without any evidence?
Where were you when I issued the business license?
Do you want to learn from that expert who just stands by and watches while others make money, and then shamelessly go to their house to ask for money?
It's fine to just go to the door and ask for it.
But he doesn't even have the right attitude when asking others to do something for him.
Look at the Emperor of Jiujiang, how many of them are not humble and generous?
No wonder he came here in such a secretive manner, it turns out he has some sense of shame.
……
After leaving the Internet Palace, the God of Wealth returned to the Immortal Court and summoned his confidants to plot a major plan.
After some discussion, he immediately ordered all the troops to move in all directions.
Naturally, the actions of the God of Wealth could not be concealed from the immortal officials in the Immortal Court. After some inquiries, they were all extremely surprised.
"What is Wu Caishen doing? Did he get a business license and open an online bank?"
"No! It is said that the God of Wealth asked for it privately, but was rejected, and he became angry. He is going to imitate the Internet, set up a private bank, and burn incense to give money."
"Ridiculous! As a fifth-rank immortal official, you are imitating the behavior of merchants and peddlers. Don't you feel ashamed?"
"It is better to be disgraced than to lose power."
"Exchanging money and food for incense is such a groundbreaking move. Let the God of Wealth give it a try. If it succeeds, it will be good for you and me."
Gu Yunli did not take Wu Caishen's threat seriously;
However, he did not expect that every move of the God of Wealth had attracted the attention of countless immortal officials.
……
……
The mysterious purple qi is vast and the green spiritual palace is empty.
Enshrouded by millions of mysterious purple qi, palaces appeared and disappeared in the golden light, with only the golden beasts on the ridges of the palaces remaining, silently listening to the secrets of the fairyland in the sea of purple qi clouds.
"…When the Internet set up online banking, I should have written to His Majesty to ban it. Now, it has attracted immortals to follow suit. If it continues like this, how is it different from the devil? If it continues like this, it may become a big trend! Fellow Daoist, why don't you and I jointly write a letter to His Majesty to implore him to ban it and to maintain order in the court!"
"The Buddhas of the heavens in Xiniuhezhou nurtured demons and evil spirits, and used suffering to nourish the incense, and the world praised them. How come when they came to Nanzhanbuzhou, Taoism became a demonic path to help the world?"
"Hmm? What do you mean, fellow Daoist?"
"If Emperor Qingxu said so, how should Daoist friend refute it?"
"In everything, excess is as bad as deficiency. This is the poison of the Taoism. How can it be compared with the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism?"
"So your majesty will only think that this is a dispute over the orthodoxy."
"This……"
"Fellow Daoist, please be patient. The Internet is tied to Gu Yunli. It is easy to ban him. It is easy to ban one Gu Yunli, but if more Gu Yunli appear, how will you deal with them?"
"The Internet is Gu Yunli's innate magical power, how can it be easily reproduced? Hmm? Daoist friend, you mean that Gu Yunli is just a chess piece?"
"No, what I mean is that it is precisely because it is the innate magical power that it is more precious! Wouldn't it be a pity to kill it before it has been comprehended?"
"Is there anyone trying to comprehend the meaning of the Internet?!"
"Since it is so easy to use the prayer technique to reduce the incense, why doesn't your majesty spread the prayer technique? Everything has a price to pay. The Immortal Court hasn't been this lively for a long time. Some people and some things should change. Your majesty will probably be happy to see it happen."
