Chapter 222 – Abolish the transport tax and reform the sea, one word disrupts the country

Zhao Changhe was called "good brother" by someone, and he felt a little numb. He thought that the demon woman was powerful.

Since he crossed over, he had often encountered demon women. The biggest demon woman in his heart was not mentioned, but Chi Chi, Sisi, and Rosefinch were all similar in appearance, although their true nature was different. The winged fire snake in front of him was even more so. Her enchanting charm couldn't even be covered by her mask, it was about to overflow.

Her figure was different from the young girls like Chi Chi and Sisi. It was hot and full of mature charm. He didn't know what kind of enchanting face was under the snake-shaped mask, but it couldn't be ugly, right?

But who knows, what if she's a "Qiao Biluo"...

"Speak, good brother..." Rosefinch suppressed her anger and said in a sweet voice, "Don't tell me you're just lying to me casually. Good brothers like you can really die, you know. Don't think I won't dare to kill you. In this wilderness, I can secretly kill you without anyone knowing..."

"Cough cough, am I that kind of person!" Zhao Changhe said sternly, "Actually, this kind of thing is very simple. It just requires a change in mindset."

"Hmm?"

"Take the example of the Cao Gang. Aren't you trying to influence Wan Dongliu and make his father join the Four Elephant Sect? However, Wan Tianxiong is a hero of his generation and has his own profound understanding of martial arts. He may not agree with the meaning of the Four Elephants. That's why you can't handle it, right? Most of the people you develop are young disciples who need to be trained from scratch, and that's the reason, right? It's because it's not easy to deceive those who already have their own understanding."

Rosefinch said, "Yes, your so-called change in mindset, wouldn't it make Wan Dongliu kill his father and seize power? He won't cooperate with us if that's the case. The Four Elephant Sect is not like that..."

Zhao Changhe interrupted directly, "Where did you think of that? The Four Elephant Sect is not like that, and am I Zhao Changhe that kind of person?"

"Then is it forming an alliance?"

"Not exactly. You should have had secret alliances long ago, right? I don't believe that Wan Dongliu can't be influenced even by these subtle connections."

"Well... is it to force a reversal?" Rosefinch sighed, "When necessary, of course, we will consider this, but the nature of the Cao Gang is special. It can be said that your example of the Cao Gang is not appropriate. They have the closest relationship with the government and many officials share their interests, sucking the blood of this river together... And they will suffer a lot if they rebel. It's almost the same as killing his father and seizing power if we really push Wan Tianxiong to a dead end. How can Wan Dongliu cooperate?"

"It seems that you have already considered it thoroughly."

"Yes, if you really think that the Venerable hasn't thought about anything, just waiting for Wan Tianxiong to die and Wan Dongliu to succeed him?" Rosefinch said disappointedly, "If you only think about these plans, then there's no need to say more."

Zhao Changhe shook his head, "It's not that complicated. To force a reversal, you only need a proposal."

Rosefinch widened her eyes.

"Wang Jiaxiong is exploring the Eastern Sea with ships. I believe it won't be difficult for them to go south along the coast. As long as your influence in the court is strong enough to propose abandoning the canal and developing sea trade, Wang Jia will definitely be ecstatic and cooperate. Wan Tianxiong will contact the Venerable on the same day, anxiously asking when the rebellion will happen..."

Rosefinch was stunned.

As if a flash of lightning struck her mind, her red lips under the mask began to tremble.

The maritime navigation level of the Wang family... not to mention the Wang family, even the Tang family could conduct nearshore navigation along the coastline.

This plan was definitely feasible, not only feasible, but it would also make the Wang family and the Cao Gang go crazy. The Four Elephant Sect didn't want to dominate, nor did they care about how much power they could gain. They just wanted chaos. It didn't matter who became the emperor. If this plan could be implemented, they, as the hidden manipulators, would have a lot of room to maneuver.

Before this, no one had thought about maritime trade... because in this world, no one had a perspective beyond the ruins of the era. It was still unknown whether there were any civilizations overseas. Judging from the names of the Chaos Chronicles, there might not be any civilization overseas. With this limited perspective, whose mind would turn to maritime trade?

But once maritime trade opened up, what about canal transportation?

This was digging the roots! Wouldn't Wan Tianxiong be anxious?

It turned out that it was just a matter of changing the mindset. There was no need for any clever strategies, just a missing word, an enlightening idea.

But why did this come from Zhao Changhe's mind? He was a poisonous strategist in this chaotic world!

"Aren't you helping Tang Wanzhuang? Wan Dongliu is somewhat your friend too," Rosefinch asked incredulously, "How... how did you come up with such a cunning plan to create chaos?"

"Wan Dongliu has already joined the Four Elephant Sect. Isn't he pursuing the martial arts and the stars? Why is he still concerned about how the Cao Gang monopolizes profits?"

"What about Tang Wanzhuang?"

Zhao Changhe said calmly, "As you said, the Cao Gang and the officials associated with them are sucking the blood of the river. Is that the river's blood? That's the blood of the people. Why should I protect their interests? We should destroy backward things. If Tang Wanzhuang is only protecting the qualifications of those who suck blood, I would be equally disappointed. Why is the world in chaos? I believe she should understand."

Rosefinch stared at him in a daze, speechless for a while.

"Maritime trade will develop sooner or later. I even hope it will develop sooner. And canal transportation can actually coexist. It doesn't have to be a life-or-death situation like it is now. This is the inevitable result in the future," Zhao Changhe said again, "Of course, I don't want chaos in the world. It would be better to have a stable strategy. At least, it shouldn't be like now, when the Hu people invade and cause chaos. That's equivalent to being a traitor. If you mention this to Venerable Rosefinch when you go back, I hope she won't act now and give me face."

Rosefinch remained silent for a moment and shook her head, "You also know that the Cao Gang is just an example. There are many other... of course, we won't start immediately. Since you don't want to start now, why are you telling me all this now?""Eh? Weren't we discussing the strategies of the Rosefinch?" Zhao Changhe said, "I was just telling you that changing your way of thinking can solve many problems. The Rosefinch is indeed very skilled, but after all, she is just one person. Without anyone to discuss with, thinking alone will always have limitations and dead ends... You can actually discuss more with Chichi. Chichi is very clever, don't just see her as a junior."

Rosefinch remained silent.

Zhao Changhe continued, "Perhaps you have forgotten the original intention of the master sending you to accompany me north... It was the master's intention for us to interact more, to determine whether to join the sect. Discussing these matters is the real purpose of our conversation, little snake, are we really going to chat about brother and sister?"

Rosefinch finally laughed, "Have you said all the good and bad? Is it me who is stupid enough to call you 'good brother'?"

Zhao Changhe grinned, "Just call it, it sounds nice when you say it."

Under the snake-shaped mask, her beautiful eyes were moving, lingering on his face for a while, and she chuckled, "If you have any more brilliant ideas in the future, one idea for one 'good brother', fair and square."

"Tsk, do you think I'm a sucker? There will be other conditions in the future." Zhao Changhe took a few sips of wine, casually leaned against a tree, "I'm going to sleep, the cave is yours, I'll rest outside."

Rosefinch slowly ate the remaining cakes, her beautiful eyes always on his face, not knowing what she was thinking.

After a while, she found that Zhao Changhe had already started practicing his internal skills.

Rosefinch nodded slightly, even during the breaks on the journey, he was silently practicing... Everyone said that Zhao Changhe practiced fast and was a world-class genius, but how many people could work as hard as him?

In fact, it's the same for everyone, to be able to practice to the level of Rosefinch or Tang Wanzhuang, who hasn't gone through such a period?

It's just a pity that they are both busy with worldly affairs now, and it's hard to have such pure practice. Looking at people like Zhao Changhe and Xia Chichi now, it's like seeing their own past.

Speaking of which, she didn't know whether Zhao Changhe's thoughts just now were because he was familiar with the gang and had been thinking about it for a long time, or because he really had the talent... If it's the latter, then regardless of whether he has any connection with the Night Emperor, such a talent must be absorbed into the sect.

Following him this time was indeed the right choice... She felt that even Chichi might not understand that he had such insights. Perhaps what everyone in the world knows about Zhao Changhe is just one side, and he still has a lot of things that he hasn't revealed.

But it's a bit difficult to want to know more... The face under the Rosefinch mask was a bit bitter, this time it's 'good brother', what will it be next time?

Rosefinch pinched her fingers, secretly thinking that after this matter is over, she should find an excuse for the Winged Fire Snake to "die" quickly, otherwise if it is discovered in the future that the Winged Fire Snake is her, Rosefinch, would she still want to live...
