Chapter 49: Bute Ma Wen
There is a wrong view that three visits to the cottage are just a story of pretending. This is too underestimating Zhuge Liang. Do you still need to pretend like a master like Wuhou? This is simply a tentative act full of wisdom.
The same is true for Sun Dakong. He only communicated with the old Jade Emperor once, but it was done indirectly through the foodie Wuhuo Monkey.
Just relying on a verbal promise without any endorsement guarantee, trusting the old Jade Emperor? That's not his Sun Dakong, that's Sun Dasha.
The Tianpeng descended to the earth not only did not bring any strong guarantees, but instead allowed Sun Dakong to see the difficulties of opening the Huaguo Mountain.
The four emperors in the heavens are the most powerful, and in the legends of later generations, this one has ever met the old Jade Emperor!
Even he is so cautious, will this matter be small? And it took so long for the old lady Bai to come to Huaguo Mountain. It can be seen that his previous guess was completely correct. The old Jade Emperor is currently blind.
Sun Dakong needed to know how determined the old Jade Emperor was to cause this matter, otherwise he would rather miss this opportunity. At most, he would choose to engage in low-key activities, Xutu Development, and formulate a five-year or ten-year development plan for Huaguoshan.
Reforms are never achieved overnight. Sometimes they take a long time, and sometimes they even need to throw their heads and blood.
Of course, if you need to throw blood from your head, it is better to use someone else's.
Simply put, if the old Jade Emperor was willing to follow Uncle Liu, he would risk going to heaven and walk?
On the contrary, even if this opportunity is wasted, there is nothing wrong with it. Hou Xiaohua is getting more and more beautiful. The male monkey and the female monkey are making little monkeys. Huaguo Mountain is growing slowly in the spring breeding, and everything is developing in a positive direction.
What is the difference between reform being a girl from early spring or a beauty from late autumn? The latter may be more interesting...
The story of the old lady Bai coming to Huaguo Mountain soon spread in Huaguo Mountain. For most monkeys, there is no big difference between an individual coming from the sky and a bird flying in, and they will not have many thoughts about it.
The "old Wen Jing" with certain political wisdom is different. Wen Jing's eyes are always glowing recently. Marshal Liu and General Ba often gather together to drink a few drinks. After drinking too much beer, they will say something that Ma Beng Erhou can't understand. These two guys have no political minds and know how to train the monkeys every day, looking forward to when they can fight...
Compared to them, Tai Zhou was the one who satisfied Sun Dakong the most.
After hearing that he could go to heaven, Tai Zhou was also excited. Flying is the ultimate dream of mankind after all.
It is rare that he can quickly calm his mind and return to normalcy.
Recently, he was studying iron smelting techniques and was very interested in this craft. He had to take care of his stomach first because of his life. After being rich, he was busy with salt profit and had no time to develop his hobbies.
Now I have money and leisure. A few days ago, I don’t know how to tinker with iron. I’m exploring how to improve the quality of Aolai’s weapons.
Sun Dakong naturally supported this kind of healthy, optimistic and positive love, and after a few tips, he felt like he had a treasure.
Now Taizhou has learned to use filtered charcoal powder to improve the quality of weapons. Marshal Liu quickly discovered the benefits of steel weapons. With his strong support, the "Soldiers and Construction" of Huaguoshan has begun to take shape.
Don’t think that you can pick up divine weapons anywhere in Journey to the West. The little demons in the lower world all use hoes.
Now Sun Dakong's face is not too great to be able to capture the magic weapon of the Heavenly Court. He is still a monkey who is useless.
Taizhou is the example that Sun Dakong most hopes to see. The wise man always only guides the theoretical direction and lets the people below develop and create.
Humans and monkeys in this world are not simple. If you draw an egg for them, they can become Da Vinci if they can't prepare it.

"The monkey is not in Huaguo Mountain, so he has gone to the clouds?"
Zhang Bairen's expression was very strange.
Those who believe this are fools! When will it be a monkey turn for a noble thing like Yunyou? If you change to the Eight Cave Golden Immortal, you will be almost the same as the level of Fu Lu Shou Three Stars.
The first time I saw an angel descending, a wild monkey in the lower world dared to show his words! Zhang Bairen was really happy and angry, and it was angering that the monkey raised his own value. It was indeed not easy to like him.
The more difficult it is, the better. Are ordinary wild monkeys paired with Lingxiao Palace to enter the room?
"I have neglected it. This monkey is born and raised in nature, and the most important thing is to be true. Although the matter of Huaguoshan is related to his personal interests, it also has risks. He has no official position, so he will naturally be dissatisfied... Besides, I do owe this monkey..."
Thinking of the secret words that Queen Mother had said before leaving, Zhang Bairen felt a little guilty and asked Taibai Jinxing: "In Taibai, look, should the Heavenly Court give this monkey a clergy?"
"Emperor, this matter requires caution. How can the priesthood of the Heavenly Court be given lightly?
Those who can enter my heaven either have loyalty, righteousness and courage to move the world, or have unparalleled filial piety and brotherhood, or have made contributions to the world, or have virtue to the people.
But even such a person will inevitably gradually decay his soul over the long years, causing this situation.
Although the flower and fruit mountain stone monkey was nurtured by spirit stones, it has no merit in the world. Giving him a priesthood may make the three realms disobey!”
"Taibai, you know me the best among the ministers in the Heavenly Court. Can't you see my intentions?"
Taibai Jinxing's heart was thrilled and he hurriedly said, "I don't dare."
"Okay, it's the most dangerous thing to figure out your heart. You can just pretend to be stupid.
Since you have guessed my thoughts, don’t stop me. If I must give the monkey a title, what should I do?”
Taibai Jinxing's face turned solemn: "The Flower and Fruit Mountain Stone Monkey Sun Dakong was originally nurtured by the Heavenly Replenishment Spirit Stone. Although he did not see virtue in the acquired world, he had already made achievements! What's more, this monkey is smart and intelligent, and he passed on the method of salt treatment in the world. Although it is still slow to achieve results, he will surely benefit all the people in the future. Many gods and immortals in the heavenly realm cannot... Such a divine monkey should be granted the title of Heavenly Court!"
Zhang Bairen's face twitched slightly, and suddenly he wanted to kick the old lady's white ass.
If I remember correctly, weren’t you who were fiercely opposed just now?
The limelight is too fast, have you even thought about the words? What does it mean to "although it is still slow to achieve results now, it will benefit all the people in the future." The monkey has preached the method of treating salt. Now a group of hunters in Aolai Country rely on this to sell private salt. Do you think I don't know?
This old guy is really a big fence-bearer, but I like it...
"Taibai, I will enthrone the monkey as you said just now. However, I can't think of what official position to enthrone this monkey for a while. Why don't you help me think about it?"
"The Emperor, when people raise horses, they will most likely put a monkey in the stable, so that they can avoid horse plague.
We might as well give him a position of "Bimawen". Although he is a priest, he is not a good rank, so as not to be dissatisfied with the Three Realms and say that the Emperor is partial to a monkey."
Zhang Bairen thought for a while and shook his head, "I'm afraid it's inappropriate... I developed the Huaguo Mountain because I saw that this monkey was smart and intelligent, and every unexpected thing happened.
Huaguo Mountain is actually a touchstone to change the three realms, but Bima Wen is a real job. If he raises horses from heaven, no one will preside over Huaguo Mountain. You are not unaware that although Huaguo Mountain is in the three realms, I cannot install the gods in the heavenly court to manage it..."
"The old minister had already thought about this and gave him a position of Bima Wen, but he was allowed to take a long leave. Isn't this a decision for the Emperor?"
