Chapter 784: Governor of the Pacific
Lu Bu had no idea how amazing the god-shaping method he had created was.
If the foundation of gods is faith, then usually faith comes first and then existence, which is why countless mythological beings emerge.
Then the method created by Lu Bu was to create first and then believe in, to enfeoff gods with human power, which involved the realm of speaking the law of heaven.
As for not being able to increase strength, this is actually Lu Bu's misunderstanding.
Things like faith will not show results without ten or eight years. Even if Lu Bu used his powerful divine support, he would still be unable to construct the entirety of a god. It was already outrageous that he could construct authority first.
As for Diao Chan and Yan Shi, the two of them occupied the throne but did not preach. Where did the believers come from? Where did the faith come from? So there is no way for them to improve their strength.
But then again, you have no way of practicing so-called faith in the Han Dynasty, because 99% of the people in the Han Dynasty are non-believers. What they believe in is exchange. If I believe in you, you have to protect me. If you are useless, I will not believe in you .
This kind of environment created a situation where the mythological figures of the Han Dynasty could not appear at all, and it was already very good to have some magical features.
It is completely different from those foreign gods that can come to the world. It is a true mythical creature that only exists in mythology.
Lu Bu didn't know how precious the thing he gave to Gan Ning was, but even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
So what if he is a mythical figure? Anyway, he, Lu Bu, is the best in the world.
Just kill the gods and Buddhas.
Relying on Lu Bu's fast portal, Gan Ning returned to Luoyang to meet Chen Xi.
"So, you are now the biggest pirate leader in the Pacific?" Chen Xi looked at Gan Ning strangely . "By the way, I remember we asked you to cooperate with us in fighting Japan, how come you suddenly ended up like this?"
"Well, he is also the only pirate leader!" Gan Ning said with a silly smile.
"Tsk, just keep pretending!" Chen Xi rolled his eyes at Gan Ning. He didn't believe that a guy who could survive in a place like Dongwu was a simple-minded person.
"Your dilemma is quite simple. The black market shouldn't exist. I will issue you a few plunder trade licenses. Then you can trade in the areas I designate and just follow the market price."
Chen Xi waved his hand and said casually.
Just kidding, instead of giving this business to outsiders, it is better to let him make the money. If he goes through this process, he will have a lot more liquid funds on hand.
"By the way, don't leave today. I'll make you the Governor of the Pacific tomorrow, and then you can just do what you want. Do you understand me?"
Chen Xi explained, as for why tomorrow, it was because the appointment letter needed the princess' seal with the imperial seal, and now it was already late, and except for Guo Hao, others usually would not choose to enter the palace at night.
Gan Ning was overjoyed, he was promoted!
"By the way, you will be the one to be rewarded for the achievements you reported earlier, do you understand?" Chen Xi continued to explain.
Gan Ning's face fell instantly. To reward those big guys would be like asking for his life.
"Go away, go away. I've given you so much power, and now you're pretending to be pitiful in front of me." Chen Xi rolled his eyes and told Gan Ning to get out.
"Bell King, that's an interesting name!"
The Governor of the Pacific, in fact, when translated, is no different from a king of a different surname. However, because it is on the sea and close to Qingzhou and other places, he is only a governor, but in essence he is already at the level of a king of a different surname.
As long as he is not in Luoyang, Gan Ning can call himself the Bell King and regard himself as the king!
Gan Ning knew that he could not get any other benefits, so he left decisively. Just as Chen Xi said, although he seemed to be as stupid as Sun Ce and Ma Chao, he actually knew everything and being stupid was just his nature.
Now Chen Xi promised to give him a trading port, in other words, to use an extremely thick blood vessel to give blood transfusion to his pirate kingdom.
In other words, pirates can do business without any cost. The looted items will not be piled up on hand, but can be exchanged for the most useful supplies. This is simply the music of nature for pirates.
Do you really think that pirates are all dragons who are reluctant to spend the money they robbed, but instead make it into treasure and bury it, then wait for others to find it using treasure maps?
That's because they can't spend it. The more famous the pirate group is, the easier it is to be targeted. The gold and silver jewelry on them can only be used for appreciation.
Unless there is someone behind you, but that is only one-sided exploitation. It is the limit for them to be able to help you occasionally. How can they let you develop independently? What if you are out of their control?
The place that Sun Fan has opened up now provides the pirates with another way out.
At the same time, it also gave Gan Ning a rein to control the pirates. After enjoying the convenience of equal exchange, magic weapons, strong ships and powerful guns, what kind of pirate would want to go back to the exploited past?
Of course, they traded everything to Gan Ning and exchanged things from Gan Ning.
In this way, the more they invest in Gan Ning, the more spontaneously they will maintain Gan Ning's dominant position.
Gan Ning, on the other hand, dumped the goods to the Han Dynasty for trade, and even made a profit from the difference.
Gan Ning simply won the game.
Of course, how could Chen Xi possibly lose money? Gan Ning seemed to be reaping all the benefits, but in fact, he was just a tool for him to boost the economy. He would only earn less and would never lose money.
After finalizing the specific details, when Gan Ning followed Lu Bu back, he directly gave Lu Bu a boatload of jewelry, calling it a reward from the court.
In the future, he will have to rely on Lu Bu to run more times, so he has to give him more things.
He knew that Lu Bu had no particular ambitions, so he gave gifts directly to Lu Bu's family.
To be honest, Lu Bu was a little surprised. He was strong, sure, but a shipload of jewellery was indeed a big shock to him. He was not a worldly-wise man, but Gan Ning's generosity still surprised him.
"You are good. You can come to me if you have any problem!"
Lu Bu patted Gan Ning's shoulder with satisfaction. What a bullshit! The gift is insignificant but the sentiment is profound. Who doesn't like a generous gift, especially such a legitimate one.
Seeing that even Lu Bu was moved, Gan Ning understood instantly. He waved his hand and took out the useless gold and silver reports that were only for display in the warehouse, and gave one box to each of the generals who had participated in the war.
His pirate group had no supplies, meaning no food, salt, fruits, vegetables, arrows, kerosene, ships, etc. However, there were countless gold, silver and treasures, all of which were collected in warehouses or buried somewhere as treasure.
All the wealth accumulated by pirates over the past hundreds of years has now belonged to Gan Ning, and he is extremely rich.
