The Monkey King

How much gold essence did this trip to Huaguoshan bring? It's hard to explain.

There are twenty-one gold essences the size of soybean grains in large and small boxes. If you want to count them all, you will have to sleep for months to count them all. I briefly weighed the box together with the imprecise iron scale of the Royal Horse Supervisor, and estimated it to be worth 689,000.

After tearing off the seal and opening the box, the golden light suddenly illuminated the entire room.

When they learned that the monkeys were about to transport the gold essence from Huaguo Mountain, Yumajian and the other immortal slaves were all worried, but at this moment, their expressions were nothing but dumbfounded.

The monkey stepped on the box, raised his head and looked at these "little soybeans" lightly, and said: "Yue Shuang!"

The little beauty who was standing aside in a daze suddenly woke up and said quickly: "Yue Shuang is here."

"come over."

Yueshuang walked carefully to the monkey and whispered: "What are your orders, sir?"

"hand."

"Hands?" Yueshuang opened her eyes wide and didn't know why.

Pulling her hand, the monkey casually grabbed a handful of novels and stuffed the gold essence into it. After finishing it, he frowned, as if he felt that it was missing. Taking Yueshuang's hand, she grabbed the hem of her own skirt and stretched it into a bucket shape. Monkey put both hands together and sprinkled a large amount in.

Yueshuang was dumbfounded and fell to her knees: "Sir... this is..."

"Thank you for your hard work these past few days. I really don't understand the matter of the Royal Horse Supervisor. I will have to trouble you next. You also know that someone wants to scratch my sore feet. Don't let me fall behind in this official business. stain."

Yueshuang blinked violently and was so excited that she couldn't breathe for a while. I held it in for a long time. Then he whispered: "Sir, this is Yueshuang's duty, no...it doesn't need to be like this."

The monkey looked down at her and said: "I am the head of the Royal Horse Prison, and it is up to me to decide whether you need it or not. Do you understand?"

Yueshuang trembled slightly and lowered her head, saying: "No, No..."

The voice was so quiet that it was hard to hear clearly.

Turning his face, the monkey shouted again, "Li Ping!"

"Sir...little one. Are there any little ones too?"

Li Ping's body leaned forward slightly, his eyes widened, and the expectation on his face could no longer be concealed.

"It's not just you." Monkey raised his head and said calmly: "There are also Yunshuang and Liu Da Liu Er. How many pockets do you have on you? Until they are full."

"Long live my lord!" The three immortal slaves cheered and knelt on the ground and kowtowed violently.

"Long live this, don't scream randomly."

"Then...that master is nine thousand years old!"

The monkey almost choked to death.

"This is worse than Long Live..." Monkey waved his hands lazily and said, "Stop talking nonsense, hurry up, it's all yours to pretend as much as you can."

After that, he stepped aside.

The three immortal slaves have jumped towards the fine gold with cheers. Yunshuang still maintained the reserve of a woman, and only walked slowly to Yueshuang to wait for her sister's approval.

The monkey looked back at the three ecstatic immortal slaves. Smiling, he walked towards the wind chime standing at the door.

"Is this okay with you?" she asked in a low voice.

The monkey folded his hands and leaned against the door, quietly watching the three immortal slaves stuffing their clothes into his pockets, sighing leisurely: "It is said that 'money can make ghosts grind'. I think you are rich, gods." Not much different from a ghost."

"They are just the lowest level of immortal slaves."

"Really?" Monkey couldn't help but think of the deal in Evil Dragon Pond, and laughed: "For most gods, there is no way to make them become ghosts, just because the price offered is not high enough."

…

Money may not necessarily buy people's hearts, but temporary loyalty can definitely be bought, and what the monkey needs is just that "temporary loyalty", which is enough.

Under the generous reward, the morale of the Royal Horse Prison immediately changed, especially those of the three immortal slaves.

The small institution of the Yuma Supervisor does not have its own suspended ship like other departments. Hearing that the monkey was going to the treasury the next day, Liu Da Liu Er spent the night cleaning the only carriage that the Yuma Supervisor had that had not been used for a long time. The house was spotless, and Li Ping waited angrily outside the monkey's door all morning.

Driving the carriage that was flying and creaking non-stop, Monkey, Li Ping, and a wind chime, took the carriage full of golden spirits and set off towards the heavenly treasury in Jiuzhongtian.

The journey from the eighth heaven to the ninth heaven is actually quite close, but that is based on the speed of a monkey. If we use a carriage pulled by these six horses to run, it will take at least an hour.

Out of boredom, Monkey simply climbed onto the roof of the car and started chatting with Li Ping who was driving.

"Do you have any long-term goals?"

Li Ping said cheerfully while driving the carriage: "To tell you the truth, I didn't have it originally, but...hehe, now I plan to get some elixirs and exercises back, so that I can practice the Tao of the Master."

The monkey was stunned for a moment and asked: "Practitioner's way? Are you qualified enough?"

"Qualifications are definitely not enough, but the way of enlightenment requires a famous teacher, and understanding... I am not afraid of adults' jokes. I know how to raise horses when I am a child, but I don't know anything else. If I can first cultivate the way of a practitioner to the realm of refining gods, even if No matter whether you are in the Nascent Realm, there are always other ways out, so you don’t have to raise horses all the time.”

"That's true." The monkey nodded, remained silent for a while, and asked: "How many immortal families are there above the seventh heaven, not counting the heavenly soldiers and generals?"

"Sir, are you referring to the true immortals above the realm of transformation into gods?"

"Just...counting those who live in Heaven, how many of the so-called 'immortal families' are there?"

"About more than two million. Excluding the heavenly soldiers and generals, there are probably more than two million. I don't know how many small ones there are specifically." Li Ping said.

"More than two million..." Monkey's eyes couldn't help but twitch.

Heaven is actually not as simple as the world imagines. It is a behemoth with extremely complex functions.

For monsters, the most familiar thing is the heavenly army that chases them all day long. However, the millions-strong heavenly army that guards the Three Realms is just a component of the vast heaven.

As far as the Hongxi Palace is concerned, Yue Lao is the chief executive of the Hongxi Palace. This is known to everyone in the world.

But how many marriages are there in the world? That is an astronomical number comparable to the names on the Book of Life and Death. The Ten Palaces of Yama plus hundreds of thousands of ghost servants can just manage one underworld. If there is really only Yue Lao in Hongxi Palace. One mortal year. One day in heaven. But for twelve hours, let alone supervision, even a casual glance could not be seen.

If marriage is like this, what about happiness, wealth and longevity? Are all the thunders in the world really caused by the God of Thunder and the Mother of Lightning?

The fact is that there are over a million people living above the seventh heaven alone who are responsible for the front-line supervision of the three realms.

And what is the cultivation level of most of these front-line supervisors?

It seems that Li Ping's cultivation level at the Condensation Realm is average, and a better one like Yueshuang has a Nai Shen Realm. If he reaches the God Refining Realm, he will already be the best. As for the Divine Transformation Realm... how many Divine Transformation Realms are there in total among the heavenly armies that are conquering everywhere? Except for the immortals who hold high positions. In the ordinary department, the Divine Transformation Realm is definitely an existence that can only be encountered but not sought.

Since you are not a true immortal, you have to eat, drink, poop and sleep.

In order to take care of the food, drink and sleep of these one million frontline workers, another one million is needed. This does not include institutions such as the Four Seas Dragon Palace, the Underworld, and the Earth Mountain God. If we really wanted to count them, I am afraid that even the Jade Emperor would not know the specific figures.

According to Li Ping's introduction, a long time ago, there was no such thing as a golden spirit in heaven.

In those years, everything was arranged in a unified manner, but later on, as the heaven expanded step by step. All hell breaks loose.

In fact, it becomes clear when you think about it.

As small as each individual, as large as the entire heavenly army sequence. There are countless needs, and once they are not met, various problems will arise. Mortals have to eat, drink, poop and sleep, but immortals have one more thing, they have to practice.

When it comes to spiritual practice, there are countless more types of things needed.

If this demand cannot be met, it would be okay for immortal slaves like Li Ping and Yueshuang who were brought up directly from the mortal world, but if it were replaced by those cultivators from famous schools, they would not be able to accept it at all.

You must know that in the mortal world, they can still find what they need on their own. In heaven, as the supervisors of the three realms, they are not allowed to meddle in various affairs at will. In this case, it is equivalent to cutting off their path to immortality.

Therefore, these needs must be met if they can be met, and if they cannot be met, they must be met, otherwise the heaven will fall apart.

However, in an era before digitalization, we need to get rid of money, coordinate everything for millions of people, properly match even a piece of ink or a bamboo slip, and accurately evaluate whether this thing is really needed across many levels. Is that thing really needed, is it possible?

Obviously, that can only be a fantasy.

As a result, gold essence as the currency of heaven came into being.

Pricing everything, distributing gold essence directly to each department, and letting them make their own arrangements, as long as they can do a good job - this is the most basic management method of Heavenly Court today.

And what was born at the same time as the golden spirit was the heavenly treasury.

All gold essence is issued by the treasury, and only when the gold essence returns to the treasury can its value be truly reflected. In other words, as long as you have enough gold essence and the treasury accepts the account, you can command the more than one million people in heaven, excluding front-line supervisors, to help you collect anything.

Although after listening to Li Ping's description, Monkey already had a basic idea of ​​the treasury, when he saw it from a distance, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, and the wind chime in the carriage was even more startling.

The treasury is formed by countless disk-shaped pumice stones suspended together. It is so big that it is boundless. If Li Ping hadn't mentioned it first, the monkeys would have mistakenly thought they were seeing a new continent.

On each piece of pumice, there are three-dimensional warehouses with a height of seven to eight feet. Some warehouses are even sandwiched between two pieces of pumice, and there are many attics scattered between the warehouses.

Countless ships loaded with cargo flew back and forth, and the heavenly soldiers patrolled back and forth...

A large ship with its mast removed carried a huge tree stump and sailed slowly past the carriage.

Seeing that the monkey's eyes were wide open, Li Ping pointed to the tree stump and said, "A new palace should be built somewhere. This kind of tree stump can only be used as the main beam of the palace."

"You know this too?"

"The younger one also heard someone here mention it, so he remembered it."

"Well, where are we going now?"

Pointing to a piece of pumice at the edge, Li Ping said: "As usual, the young ones would go directly there. There is a warehouse dedicated to Tianma fodder. You can basically find all the other things you need in the warehouse next to it. As for what the adults want, the little ones really don’t know where to get it.”

"First ask someone you know."

"I obey, little one. Drive!" (To be continued...)

ps: It must be there! !

Damn, it's almost two o'clock. Go to bed quickly, there are two more updates tomorrow... I feel like my life is so painful.

By the way, the monthly tickets have dropped a lot, and now the ranking has started to drop. The number is now 78, and there will be 75 in the afternoon. Everyone will be rewarded with a few more votes. If we break through 70 tomorrow, the turtles will continue to fight the day after tomorrow! ! o(n_n)o~
