C5323 The Prime Minister of the Sage Emperor
"Ah! Little brat, don't pull my hair!"
As soon as Blackie was sucked into the storage bag, he was immediately entangled by the life and death compass.
Ignoring it, Lu Yu looked at the gradually falling Spirit Mountain and left.
Young General Hong handed all the captives to the army behind him and immediately led his troops to charge toward the Condor Galaxy.
The Northern Emperor's regime submitted official documents to Great Qin asking why they had suddenly gone to war.
"Shen Linglong doesn't even have a Human Emperor Sword; she's a fake Emperor. Are you going to help her?" Minister of War Lu Jingsheng replied in a tough tone.
The Minister of War once again gave the order to move nineteen legions from Great Qin to the Vientiane Star River and head straight for the core of the North Emperor's regime.
Everyone in the Heaven Realm was shocked. The new Great Qin Dynasty had just finished fighting against the Tang Dynasty, and in the blink of an eye, they had pointed their weapons at Shen Linglong!
However, everyone's gazes did not gather here, and they instead focused on another matter.
The Holy Spirit Mountain had finally been breached by Lu Yu!
After Hong Shaowu led his troops away, a few more Great Qin legions moved in, and a total of 170 million people moved into the Spirit Mountain's Sage State.
Some of the monks who had colluded with the false Buddhas were investigated and dealt with according to the laws. The innocent civilians were placed in the various stars and started to live again.
Many people in Spirit Mountain lived in the world that was covered by the false Buddhas for their entire lives. From birth, they were taught to respect the Buddha.
Many people worked for more than half their lives, but they had to donate a large amount of their savings to the high and mighty Buddha statues. The Buddha statues became their spiritual sustenance, and their power of faith was completely controlled.
When Lu Yu killed the false Buddha, many believers were affected as well. They became sickly and listless.
However, these were all temporary. After a period of recuperation, they could recover.
After returning to a brand new world, many people's lives began to show a new chapter. The one billion living beings were no longer trapped by the fake Buddha. What awaited them would be an unknown future.
As for the wealth found in the Sacred Spirit Mountain, the Ministry of Revenue chose not to announce it to the public.
That was an astronomical figure, and it was enough for Great Qin to remain rich for a long period of time.
Following Lu Yu's orders, the Ministry of Revenue calculated all of the Buddhist products and made arrangements. Almost 70% of them were used on the Qin army.
The other 30% were used for disaster relief, education, health, and basic facilities.
Great Qin had experienced countless wars in various places, and it was currently in a state of chaos. Many places required a large amount of money.
The entire Imperial Court did not have any objections to these arrangements.
There was nothing else. Just because of this massive amount of wealth, Lu Yu and the Lu Family Imperial Family did not take a single spirit stone from it!
This was something rarely seen by emperors since ancient times.
Even someone as wise as Zhao Tianyin would also allocate some money from the Ministry of Revenue to build a residence for his concubines.
Mi Concubine's Temple alone had more than thirty thousand of them in the Emperor Capital Domain. The incense offerings were never-ending all year round, and all of them were used up by the people.
But Lu Yu was the only emperor who did not take money from the national treasury. Instead, he would often take money out of his own pocket!
Although he was new, Lu Yu already had the appearance of a Sacred Emperor. Even many sharp and mean old Confucians would not question Lu Yu's Dao of Emperor.
