Due to the heavy snowfall, the road was difficult to navigate, and the Leilin family, who had been pardoned by the king, did not return to the royal capital immediately, but stayed in Heihe Town.

Wait for the winter year to pass, and after entering the spring year, return to the royal capital.

Moreover, after being made an earl, Zhou Ming, who got the entire Black Swamp as his fief, also needed someone to help take care of his territory.

Who should take care of it?

Of course, it's his own family - the Leilin family is better.

And from the letters that came and went, Zhou Ming found that Cohen, the father of this body, had a strong interest in things like "oil" and felt that it was very promising and could be vigorously developed.

In this case, Zhou Ming planned to hand over all the oil processing to Cohen Leilin, let him stay in Heihe Town, and then build Heihe Town as the center to build an important oil industry town, and the future Leilin family will be the oil tycoon of the Adud Kingdom.

And what about Zhou Ming?

What does he do?

Such a wealthy "oil tycoon", he doesn't want to be his own?

Instead, he handed over the territory to the family, earned benefits, and most of it belonged to the family?

Shook his head.

I don't have time.

Zhou Ming really doesn't have that much time.

If he gets involved in any industry, does he still want to cultivate?

Do you want to clear the customs sooner?

Besides, the money can't be earned, and after controlling the financial system of the Aduid Kingdom, and then issuing banknotes, Zhou Ming feels that it is almost enough, and he can stop it.

In all walks of life, it is enough for him to help guide him, and there is no need to block everyone's financial path.

And what is the most fundamental reason why the Leilin family can be pardoned this time? It is not that he is particularly generous, he took out 30% of the shares of the pharmaceutical production plant, took out 10% of the bribe Duke Rudolph, and took out 30% of the shares of the Dilo Bank, and gave it to a few powerful earls, plus a bunch of assurances such as "will not support the family to carry out radical reforms", these bigwigs relented and voted in favor.

It is estimated that some people are going to be puzzled again: as Zhou Ming, who is a traverser, what does the life and death of the Lei Lin family have to do with him, isn't it foolish for him to take out so much interest to please those nobles?

Is he stupid?

In order to save a group of people who have no emotional foundation at all.

In fact, Zhou Ming can indeed be saved, or not, no matter which one he chooses, there is no loss for him, and he will not get any benefits, on the contrary, there may be many new problems...... For example, it is necessary to deal with the relationship with family members, etc.

He was eventually saved.

For no other reason.

Because his surname is Leylin.

This surname is synonymous with "loyalty", "courage", and "change" in the kingdom of Addud.

The family represented by this surname, although notorious and hated among the nobility, has a very positive image among the common people at the bottom.

Even among the aristocracy, there were a small number of admirers of the family.

The word Thunder - is a golden signboard.

This sign may not work in other countries, but in the Kingdom of Adud, it can sometimes achieve many magical effects.

For example, after Zhou Ming became the financial director of the kingdom, he implemented a series of reform measures, some of which were beneficial to the aristocracy, some were beneficial to the commoners, and some were beneficial to everyone, but no matter what the reform was, Zhou Ming found a pattern:

The aristocracy was mostly welcoming, but the common people were particularly welcoming.

For example, some time ago, the paper money that began to be promoted on a small scale, the use and acceptance rate of the people at the bottom are much higher than those of the aristocracy...... This was completely beyond Zhou Ming's expectations.

He also can't scientifically explain why the common people are so receptive to the reforms he promotes, in short, his popularity is very high among the people at the bottom.

From this, Zhou Ming also realized that his surname "Lei Lin", which represents "reform", actually represents the desire of the people at the bottom in a society where classes are almost completely solidified...... The desire for change.

Whether it is the cake shop, clothing industry, pharmaceutical export industry, financial industry and various industries listed in the plan for the next ten years, they are all influencing and changing the fate and life of countless people.

Naturally, in the Kingdom of Aduld, Zhou Ming also hopes to fix his popular image and even become more perfect.

and set an example to the servants and sons...... As long as he is willing to work hard, the servant son can also achieve a counterattack and write a legend.

Therefore, for the sake of "reputation", Zhou Ming cannot be a "selfish person" who ignores his parents.

As for money and benefits, he has thousands of ways to obtain them, and the best way is to build himself into a signboard, no matter where he goes, there are countless people who take the initiative to come and send money to attract money...... This is much better than going out to make money yourself.

……

The snow is getting heavier and heavier.

In September, when the temperature is so low that people have to stop all outdoor activities and stay at home every day.

There was a lot of food in the cellar, bread, bacon, dried fruits, firewood, cold wine...... Each household has prepared a amount of more than half a year.

However, as a result of the war a few months ago, many people's homes were looted by the rebels, leaving little food to store.

Princess Severnis was busy for two or three months for this matter, trying every means to help the victims solve the problem of food, and Zhou Ming also helped a lot, calling on everyone to donate, among which he personally donated millions of gold coins.

After the problem of the victims was basically solved, Princess Xiwenis won a high reputation among the people, and Zhou Ming finally had a lot of time to carry out his cultivation

……

Vase Castle, fifth floor.

Zhou Ming's bedroom.

After a night of meditation, he slowly opened his eyes.

He spread out his palms and released his magic power, and the magic particles around him were converging towards his palms.

A small glowing white ball is formed.

Gradually, they converged into a fist-sized, transparent-colored ball.

The first-level water magic [Water Polo Technique] was successfully released.

This also marked that Zhou Ming had once again stepped onto a new level and become a high-level magician.

Click on the character data panel provided by the system to view your personal cultivation data——

Rank: Advanced Magician

Mana: 873.014 (5000 next)

Sensing range: 15.31m (next level 50m)

Soul Frequency: 1.30 (1.50 next)

Can release magic: wind, fire, earth, water

Energy: 0 (unable to continue meditating)

Looking at the data on the panel, Zhou Ming shook his head.

He felt slow.

It's just too slow.

Although this was a demonic cultivation speed in the eyes of others, he was still not very satisfied.

Why?

The increase in soul frequency cannot keep up with the increase in mana.

As long as the mana value is meditated, there will be a certain increase, but the soul frequency really cannot be quickly increased through continuous meditation.

This value rises very slowly, in order to break through to become a high-level magician, Zhou Ming drank all the [Super Magic Elixir] in the space ring, and it is still a value of 0.01, and he can't raise it alive or dead, so he can only wait patiently.

The system also told him: "It is estimated that it will not be useful to drink [Super Magic Potion] in the future, so the host should spend more time on cultivation." ”

"I know. ”

Zhou Ming nodded, if you can't take a shortcut, you can only rely on time to pile up...... Almost every one of those great mages and legendary mages will spend a lot of time researching and improving the soul frequency.

And there are some people who have found a brilliant solution.

For example, Duress Du Lisa of the Dolan Empire, the secret of her breakthrough to the legendary mage is to make herself excited, and when a person is excited, the soul frequency will naturally increase...... That's why she likes little girls so much, because every time she sees those cute little babies, she can't get excited, and her soul frequency increases very quickly.

Of course, there are also some legendary mages, and there are not a few who go crazy or go crazy because of their excitement.

Secondly, there are those who achieve the "stimulant" effect by taking some special drugs.

For example, Manlo pollen, a white powdered particle, has a strong hallucinogenic effect when smoked, and the user is extremely excited, and the soul frequency soars.

The specific performance is very similar to that of Zhou Ming's world.

Manlo pollen is equivalent to this world's duë product, and many magicians rely on this thing to break through.

Of course, there is also a strong addiction, once you smoke it, it is difficult to quit, and you are pale, afraid of the sun, and your body is skinny...... Many powerful magicians in this world are in this image.

They went from noble magicians to half-human, half-ghost addicts, with the aim of gaining greater power, of course.

But Zhou Ming didn't want to follow the path of these people, he wanted to break through, but not in this way...... He had to find a better way to break the limits of his soul frequency on his strength.

During this time, in the process of discussing with the system, I was thinking about what kind of methods should be adopted in order to break through to a higher realm relatively quickly.

A chance flash of inspiration gave Zhou Ming a bold idea.

After the simulation of the system, it is believed that his idea has a success rate of about 70%...... You can try it.

Zhou Ming began this risky attempt called "soul overclocking".
