Chapter 469: An Opportunity to Expand

Lingnan Song valve grinding knife hall

Song Que carefully flipped through the seven luck charts in his hand, closed his eyes and thought carefully for a long time, and suddenly his face turned pale and spurted out a mouthful of reverse blood.

"Big brother, what's wrong with you?"

Song Zhi, who was sitting next to him, was shocked and asked urgently, so he was going to come over to check.

"It's okay, it's just a spit of blood from the retrograde of true qi!"

Song Que slowly closed the seven exercise luck maps, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "This thing, I can't cultivate, it depends on whether the children in the clan have such luck!" ”

"Big brother, aren't you afraid that Wu Hou will do something here?"

Song Zhi couldn't help but say: "It's just a mere seven pairs of luck diagrams, and there is no other text to corroborate it, which makes it hard to believe!" ”

"If you don't believe me, can you stop practicing?"

Song Que said leisurely: "Wu Hou wouldn't do such a thing, and with his strength, there is no need to act like this!" ”

Song Zhi froze for a moment, opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Yes, if he doesn't believe it, can he not practice?

But in front of the secret book of divine skills, how could he bear not to cultivate?

Wu Hou is really harmful!

The emperor of Zhongnan Mountain stepped on the peak, and Cihang Jingzhai was located in the hall.

The sandalwood in the room is ethereal, and in front of the offering table of the Guanyin statue, there are seven pages of Xinggong luck map, which is the "Immortal Decision" cultivation qi map promoted by Lei Hu.

Cihang Jingzhai's new fasting master, Fan Qinghui, and several Jingzhai high-level officials stood quietly, and after a long time, Fanjing Zhai slowly spoke: "These seven luck charts are indeed the method of the 'Longevity Formula', but it's a pity that many disciples in the sect practice are difficult to even get started!" ”

"Lord Zhai, what is the intention of Wu Hou to comprehensively promote the practice luck map of the 'Recipe for Longevity'?"

Elder Jing Zhai next to him opened his mouth and asked, "Right now, the rivers and lakes are boiling, I'm afraid it will trigger a wave of cultivation!" ”

"Then let the tide come harder!"

Fan Qinghui said indifferently: "If no one can get started for a long time, the hustle and bustle on the rivers and lakes will slowly decrease. ”

"Then let the world's Buddhists pay close attention!"

Another Jingzhai elder nodded in agreement, and directly set his future behavior.

……

On the other side, Daomen's reaction was also very fast.

Lou Guandao, who was in the middle of the Northern Dao Gate, reacted as soon as possible, and was personally led by the principal Qi Hui, who rushed directly to Qiantang City to meet with Wu Hou, wanting to find out Wu Hou's true thoughts.

"The Secret of Eternal Life", as a miracle of Taoism, should it be spread all over the world so that almost everyone in the rivers and lakes has a copy?

Of course, all the sects of the Dao Sect actually have a copy of the "Recipe for Longevity", but there has never been a Dao Sect heir to comprehend the entry, and now that there is such a noise, the Dao Sect naturally has to react in time.

In addition, Wu Hou made such a big noise, it was obviously impossible not to have a little calculation.

It is very likely that Wu Hou is sure that someone will be able to comprehend the "Longevity Formula" and directly achieve the innate realm.

Such a talented and beautiful jade, so developed Lou Guan Dao naturally wants to be included in the command, in order to strengthen the strength and momentum of Lou Guan Dao, Qi Hui this trip is to discuss this matter with Wu Hou.

Wu Hou was born in the Dao Sect and was not passed on to the Dao Ancestor True Lineage, and he was also a disciple of the former sect master, if he brought all the good talents and beautiful jade who could comprehend the "Longevity Formula" into his command, causing the Dao Ancestor True Transmission to be too big, how could the mainstream factions of the Dao Sect be embarrassed?

The core members of the Northern Daomen of the Louguan Daoist Association went south, and Lei Hu did not receive him personally, but asked the master to clear the lake of the old Dao, and he had other important things to deal with.

It is said that Emperor Yang Jian of Sui is seriously ill, and the situation in Guanzhong is very tense.

There is no force to think of rebellion, at this time, the Great Sui country is strong, if anyone dares to make trouble, the end will inevitably be defeated, and a fool will do that mantis arm as a car.

However, seeing that Yang Jian's health is not good, at the time of the replacement of the old and the new, many forces are thinking of fishing in troubled waters, and making a lot of money for themselves and their families.

As the crown prince and the rightful heir of the Great Sui, Yang Guang's ascension to the throne is a sure thing, unless Yang Jian suddenly abolishes the crown prince, there will be no more obstacles to his ascension.

It's just that the forces that are dissatisfied with Yang Guang's ascendancy, or want to reap greater benefits, don't want this to take over the throne easily and securely.

Buddhism, for example, is not very happy.

Once Yang Guang became the emperor smoothly and safely, he had to suppress the development of Buddhism, who called the most supportive force behind him the Yinkui faction?

There are the other three gate valves, they don't have any personal hatred with Yang Guang, but unfortunately the interests of the gate valve conflict with the interests of the dynasty, Yang Guang's prestige is far worse than Yang Jianke, they naturally want to take advantage of the critical moment of the transfer of the throne to win more authority and interests for themselves and the family.

In short, the current Guanzhong is peaceful on the surface, but in private, the undercurrent is already turbulent and agitated.

Originally, this had little to do with the southern forces, for example, the Lingnan Song Valve didn't even have the opportunity to participate, so they could only watch the ups and downs in Guanzhong from afar.

But Thunder Tiger is different!

He is not a clan lord in the traditional sense, but a feudal town power that has risen with military power.

And his relationship with the gate valve of the northern family is average, and there is not much entanglement of interests in the Daxing court in Guanzhong, the key is that he also has the title of the world's number one master on his head, which is very much Prince Yang Guang to see.

During Yang Guang's stay in Yangzhou, the relationship with Wu Houling has been maintained very well, and at this time, he wanted to invite Lei Hu to go north to Tongguan to deter Xiaoxiao.

There is no way, there are too many forces that want to take advantage of the opportunity to make waves.

In addition to the important ministers within the imperial court, as well as the family gate lords, even the Turks outside the gate are not very peaceful.

Emperor Yang Jian of Sui didn't know why he made a stupid move, and actually helped the Turkic Qimin Kehan to unify the chaotic Eastern Turks, do you really think that this person is loyal to the Great Sui?

If there is a civil strife in the Great Sui, let's see if this Turkic lord will raise troops to the south?

At this time, the strength of the Eastern Turks is quite amazing, the land area controlled by the control of millions is not smaller than that of the Great Sui, and there are top masters such as Wuzun Bi Xuan and Demon Marshal Zhao Deyan to assist, which is definitely not a good existence.

Especially Wuzun Bi Xuan and Demon Marshal Zhao Deyan are both well-known strong players in the rivers and lakes, once they take advantage of the critical moment of the change of the throne of the Great Sui Emperor to make trouble, it will be really a big trouble.

Therefore, Yang Guang didn't know whether he was in his personal thoughts, or if he had a staff member to mention it, but he wanted to invite Lei Hu to go north, not to mention participating in the dispute in Guanzhong, at least he had to shake the martial arts Bi Xuan and the demon marshal Zhao Deyan who were about to move on the grassland, so that the situation in the rivers and lakes in Guanzhong would calm down.

The price given is not small, in addition to the Huiji County that Lei Hu tried to ask for, he also generously took Danyang County as an add-on.

Lei Hu had to be moved, what is Danyang County?

It is the Jiankang area at this time, which can be said to be the most developed and most commercially developed area on the south bank of the Yangtze River before the development of Wuhou Ling, and it is an absolute place of ointment.

Yang Guang's handwriting is not insignificant, although he knows that there is a big problem inside, Lei Hu has to accept it.

Once he held Wu County, Huiji and Danyang in his hands, Lei Hu controlled the essence of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces in later generations, as well as the essence of the south of the Su Gaoguan River. 、

The water system here is continuous, the water transportation is developed, the land is fertile, it is an important grain production land, and most of the population in the south and the Han people are concentrated here, which is definitely a rare treasure for Lei Hu.

He doesn't lack anything now, the food production in the territory is quite surplus, the people with developed commerce live a stable life, and even the people in the essence of Guanzhong can't compare to the life.

Unfortunately, there was a serious shortage of population in the territory, and although Lei Hu tried all kinds of means, except for the initial official road repair project that used civilian labor, the rest of the canal excavation projects and a series of other projects were all carried out by purchased prisoners as the main labor force, and no longer consumed too much civilian labor.

Then there are all kinds of encouragement reputation, and even the unprecedented promulgation of a fairly strict and perfect reward system, as well as a more perfect medical education and orphan support mechanism, almost using the strength of milk, it took more than ten years, the population of the territory only exceeded two million, reaching the level of two million and three million.

There is no way, the population base of the entire territory was too small before, and the people from the south who have migrated over are only a mere 800,000, and it is quite good to be able to reach close to 2.5 million in the past ten years.

According to Lei Hu and the Hou Fu staff, they collected the opinions of local governments and garrisons, as well as the core personnel of the Production and Construction Corps, and estimated that the next population outbreak should be ten years later, when the newborn children have grown up completely.

Right now, more than 100,000 babies can be born every year, and Lei Hu and the Hou Mansion staff have to be happy for a while.

However, if Lei Hu can control the two counties of Huiji and Danyang at this time, the population under his rule will suddenly exceed 4 million, and even reach the level of about 4.5 million!

This is already very remarkable, you must know that when Nan Chen fell, the number of people registered in the official household registration was just over two million, which is simply a big joke.

In recent years, there have been frequent wars in the south, and they are all incidents in the land of Wuyue and the border of Lingnan in the south, but they have nothing to do with the essence of the south.

After more than ten years of stable life, even if the medical standard is poor, the population has slowly risen.

Lei Hu is very confident, and after he completely controls Huiji and Danyang, with the policy of encouraging childbirth promulgated by the territory at this time, as well as the gradually improving medical system, there will be an explosive period of population growth at that time.

Ten years from now, the population of his territory will exceed 10 million!

At that time, it is not impossible to wait for Yang Guang to die by himself, first take the entire south, and then move his army to the north, and it is not impossible to unify the north with the south in advance.

Of course, the premise of all this is that the territory can be expanded smoothly, and there should not be too many turbulence and twists and turns in the meantime.

Of course, Lei Hu knew the reason why Yang Guang was willing to make such a heavy bet, but he didn't care.

As long as he sits in the territory, no matter which way the cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods have to stand aside, and if he is not honest or disobedient, he will be sent to the labor camp, anyway, there has always been a shortage of labor here.

Of course, the premise is that he has to promise to go north to Tongguan immediately to help Yang Guang deter Xiaoxiao.

With such an opportunity, Lei Hu will naturally not give up easily.

He had already told his master Qingxu Lao Dao before, this time he would personally go to the north, and the territory would be handed over to Qingxu Lao Dao to take care of.

At the same time, he also greeted the representatives of the various territories stationed in the Holy Gate, and even communicated with Song Que, the Lingnan Song valve, and Song Que would personally take action in case of emergency.
