New cotton-growing areas have been determined, and the electronic satellite map provided by "Old Mama" has already marked the annual average temperature, precipitation, humidity and other data of the region. With an adequate food supply on the ground, it is only a matter of time before cotton-producing areas are developed and planted.

Tianhao has more and more cards to play, especially after conquering the Deer Clan, and the vast plains between Broken Horn City and Red Moon City are all under control. This is not an undeveloped wasteland north of Blackhorn, but a fertile land with a complete irrigation system that has been managed by the Deer people for thousands of years.

Rice, wheat, potatoes, corn, the four main crops of the production set, this year the wind and rain are smooth, there is no drought and flood pests, plus the seafood caught in the eastern coastal cities dominated by Panshi City, it is expected that by the autumn harvest season, all the warehouses can be filled, and the dragon people can live an unprecedented harvest year.

A tall obelisk has been built since the summer and stands in the square of Pointe-Noire.

On the day of completion, Tianhao took all the high-ranking members of the Dragon Clan, including Ayi and a few children, to form a neat line and kneel respectfully in front of the solemn and tall monument.

The prison cow is nine years old. According to the rules of the northern barbarians, next year will be an adult.

He knelt beside Tianhao, curiously watching Tianhao fold his hands in front of his chest, bending down in an unprecedented solemn posture, his forehead touching the ground, kneeling three times and knocking nine times.

"Daddy, are we worshipping the gods?" The prisoner cow is becoming more mature physically, but the mind is still a child.

"Gods?" The corners of Tianhao's mouth curved into a very good-looking arc, he slowly shook his head, stood up, looked up at the tall stone tablet in front of him, and said with a faint smile: "Only those who are the greatest are worthy of my salute to them." ”

"Does Daddy mean the Great Master?" The captive cow flashed bright eyes.

"He's just one of them." Tianhao was full of thoughts, and sighed with emotion: "There are many people who are greater than him who have left their names in history. Those people should not be forgotten, but they are gone forever, not even leaving a trace. ”

"Have I heard their names?" The prison cow has a strong curiosity about this.

Tianhao smiled.

"Taizu, Prime Minister, Li Zhizhi, Wang Tieren, Two Bombs and Three Stars...... Yuan rice scientist ......"

He meditated in his heart, and no one knew.

I'm a latecomer.

I will carry on the legacy of my ancestors.

I swear that the dragons will never be plagued by hunger, and I will lead them to occupy and gain control of the entire world in the most powerful form.

You are our ancestors, true gods.

……

Dragon Territory, Black Horn City, Royal Palace, Secret Temple.

When Jongo woke up, he felt a sore pain coming from the outside of his left leg. He looked down in that direction and saw that there was an additional wound in that place, which had been sewn up with black thread, oozing a little blood, and a ball the size of a ping-pong ball swollen in the middle.

“…… What's wrong with me? He looked up and looked around blankly, seeing Tianhao sitting in his chair with a smile on his face.

"You're so tired, you got some sleep." Tianhao wiped his fingers with a wet towel and comforted: "I arranged a room for you, and the guards will help you over later, so have a good rest!" ”

This explanation makes sense, although Zong Gu feels that something is not quite right, but he can't say it. He nodded ignorantly, watched Tianhao put down the towel, clapped his palms, the door was pushed open from the outside, and two tall and burly forbidden soldiers walked in, grabbed their arms respectively, and helped themselves out of the room almost as if they were lifted.

Silence returned to the Secret Temple.

Tianhao poured a cup of hot tea and drank it slowly.

Two years ago, Zongguang had already completed a spore transplant.

Now, it's his father's turn.

The surgery was successful and Jongu showed no rejection. He was unable to recall what had happened before he fell asleep with the anesthetic, which meant that the spores had successfully parasitized, affecting the implanter's brain, erasing the main part of the memory that could trigger a negative effect.

From now on, the surrounding area with Mishui City as the core will be under control and will directly obey Tianhao's orders.

Since the time of Rock City, the father and son of the Zong family have worked closely with Tianhao, and they have received lucrative dividends from foreign wars and business operations. Mishui City now has a population of more than 150,000, plus the surrounding areas are divided by Zonggu, in fact, family members are in charge, forming a huge circle of interests, with a total population of more than 200,000.

No one will give up the benefits in vain. What's more, what Zonggu values most is his son Zongguang. The ancient rules of succession of the city lord determined that Zongguang could not directly become the lord of the city of Mishui, so Zonggu could only choose a village with the best comprehensive development and surrounding environment, appoint Zongguang as the leader, and then set aside a part of the residents of Mishui City to enrich the village under Zongguang's name.

This is the process of the emergence and rise of Huaiji City. Of course, Zong Gu has a unique vision, and he chose Tianhao as Zong Guang's guide early. Facts have proved that he is not mistaken, whether it is a war against the pig clan or against the deer clan, Zongguang followed Tianhao's side closely, learning various methods and experiences at the same time, he also obtained a large number of prisoners of war. Today, Huaiji City has become the fourth largest city in the Bison Division, with a population of up to 40,000.

Whether it was Zonggu or Zongguang, they did not have the slightest hostility towards Tianhao. So when Zong Gu walked into the secret hall, facing Tianhao who was smiling and handed over a cup of liquid, he subconsciously thought that it was a cup of tea, and drinking it would make him feel happy and healthy.

The taste of the tea was very good, Tianhao slowly drank the tea in the cup and poured himself another cup.

This is a modified version of the traditional black leaf tea, with the addition of tea leaves found in the northern mountains. It is a real tea tree, which has survived countless severe cold, heat, drought and flood disasters to this day. Tianhao transplanted a part, and the young leaves picked in the spring were mixed with black leaf tea and stir-fried in the traditional way, resulting in this special drink with a good aroma and aftertaste.

The door of the secret hall was hidden, and the captain of the guard, Yan Ya, hurriedly walked in from the outside, knelt down on one knee in front of Tianhao, and said respectfully: "Your Highness, the three patriarchs of the mad bull, the bison, and the fierce bull have arrived, and they are now waiting in the council hall. ”

Tianhao took a sip of tea and asked lightly, "How is the situation of Zonggu?" ”

"The subordinate arranged a place for him to live, and he was already asleep."

Tianhao nodded, put down the cup, and stood up: "Let's go!" Meet the ill-intentioned ones and see what their attitudes are. ”

……

In the middle of the chamber was a large long table.

In civilized times, many people sang the praises of the equality and harmony between King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, believing that this was the true way of kingship. However, the same standards do not correspond to this era, where the limits of dignity and humility are the basis of rule, and without piety and reverence for those who are superior, the world will only become a mess.

When Tianhao walked into the venue, Yuan Wei, Zongyu, and Ling Xiao were already sitting on either side of the long table. They all stood up in unison, showing their respect for the young regent with this simple gesture. Then he watched as he sat sideways on the main seat in the center, and then they each took their seats.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's been a long time, but everyone looks good." Tianhao smiled and greeted everyone one by one, which was a comfortable and unpretentious opening.

Yuan Wei replied with a smile: "Thank you, Your Highness, for still remembering my old bones." Speaking of which, we can win against the Tiger Clan this time, and even the natural danger of Tiger Prison Pass can be captured, which shows that His Highness not only governs the clan well, but also deserves praise in military aspects! ”

He said as he gave Tianhao a thumbs up.

Seeing this, Ling Xiao, the king of the fierce bull, secretly sneered, and was very disdainful of Yuan Wei in his heart, and secretly scolded himself, "Old immortal sycophant." ”

The Bison Patriarch Sect was the oldest among the three, his expression was grim, and he patiently waited for the greetings between Yuan Wei and Tianhao to end, then he turned sideways to face the head of the table, and said, "Ah Hao, you summoned us over today, what is the matter?" ”

As long as it is not in public, the Zongyu has always used the title "Ah Hao", and never respectfully called Tianhao "His Highness".

There was too much resentment accumulated in Zongyu's heart.

He admits he's lost sight.

I think that at the beginning, when the Mishui City Lord Zonggu recommended Tianhao to him, this young man was just the Rock City Lord. The reason why they are willing to cooperate is not because the clan wants to promote the younger generations, but because of the abundance of products in Rock City, and the trade between the Bison Department and the bison tribe can complement each other.

To put it simply, it's for profit.

Later, too, it was because of interests.

Whether it is the eldest prince Niu Weizhan or the second prince Niu Weifang, the sect does not like it. He was inherently wary of the royal family. Age is the same as experience, and in the past few decades of life, the clan has seen too many royal families take advantage of the dirty things of one patriarch and city lord after another. In order to keep his family and power, the suzerainty must and can only seek help from the outside world and find allies.

At that time, Tianhao was an excellent natural ally.

He was a natural ruler, and Rock City prospered.

He was quite strategic, and annexed the pig and deer tribes one after another.

The most important thing is that he knows how to be a man very well, whether it is business or sending troops to fight, he will pull a few friends, and the Bison Department has also benefited from this, and a large number of people have been added to the front and back.

At that time, Zongyu was full of praise for Tianhao. He thinks that Tianhao is very worthy of support, not the kind of guy who sees the benefits and wants to be alone, and forgets the righteousness when he sees the benefits. Therefore, on the issue of succeeding Niu Weibang as the patriarch of the Lei Niu tribe, the sect voted in favor.

From the city lord to the patriarch, it is tantamount to ascending to the sky in one step. Zongyu never thought that Tianhao could pose a threat to him, on the contrary, he would only be his help. Especially during the period when the first king was mourned, the two princes fought openly and secretly for the throne, and the princess Niu Yanfang secretly planned a conspiracy, and the sect was also not idle. He was openly and secretly courting people from all walks of life, thinking that this was an opportunity, maybe there would be some kind of accident in the process of the prince's struggle for the throne, and then the situation would become that the patriarchs of each branch would promote the new king...... With his own strength and connections, although he can't get everyone to agree, the number of opponents is definitely not much.

What happened next confirmed the conjecture of the sect.

Niu Weizhan and Niu Weifang both died, and Niu Yanfang killed the great master in an attempt to become the new queen in the history of the Niu clan.

When he led the army to attack the palace of Black Horn City, the sect who got the news smiled. He was well aware that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As long as Niu Yanfang is captured, it is equivalent to controlling the throne.

Respect for the royal family? I'm sorry, but with the death of the first king, this kind of thing no longer exists. Only those who can afford to sit in that position, and if it were a hairy boy or a woman, I would have only two options: either eat them as snacks or grab them and play with them as pets.

Especially on the second option, there is not much difference between men and women.

The clan was very shrewd in his calculations, and he had also considered various factors in various aspects. His only deficiency was that he thought too carefully about the problem, so that he hesitated in the implementation process and lost the opportunity.

He has been hesitating on the two issues of "killing Niu Yanfang" and "capturing and controlling Niu Yanfang alive".

At that time, there was not much time left for Zongyu to think, from leading the army into the palace to meeting the princess, it was only more than twenty minutes before and after.

After all, Zongyu is old, he can no longer be as impulsive as when he was younger, and his brain is running slower.

Tianhao is crazy, one can even say barbaric. His emotional outburst at that time was largely due to the news of the death of the Great Master, coupled with Niu Yanfang's previous evil deeds in Thunder Point City that wanted to kill Ayi and replace him, Tianhao never thought of letting go of the princess from the beginning.

In that secret battle that was unknown to everyone, and there was not even the slightest sign of it, Tianhao took the lead with a speed far beyond the sect domain. By the time the sect came to its senses, it was too late.

Tianhao angrily reprimanded Niu Yanfang in front of everyone and exposed her conspiracy.

"Avenge the great power teacher" is a loud slogan, and it is too late for the sect to regret it.

What's more, Tianhao discovered Brimstone early, and his elite musketeers were unstoppable in the palace assault.

If the opportunity is lost, there will be no return. Zongyu could only watch as Tianhao received support from all sides, and then relied on the powerful army under his command to control Blackhorn City in a short period of time, and then became the regent.

The so-called "Council of Four Patriarchs" is only a façade. The sect that had gone to the general trend had no choice but to knock out its teeth and swallow blood, and against his will to recognize Tianhao's status, he once again voted in favor.

When you experience too many things, especially too many bad things that you are not satisfied with, you will have a very strange psychological change, thinking that the whole world is against you, and then you will have a sense of disgust for many things.

That's how the sect felt about Tianhao. He had always thought that that person could only be called "Ah Hao", not the honorable "His Royal Highness the Regent".

Tianhao didn't care about this.

At least on the surface.

He smiled and said loudly, "I invite everyone to come over today to discuss the matter of population migration. ”
