After spending two days in the room, Yao Ruoyu ended the retreat with a smile on her face.

He didn't do much during this retreat, first he used soul talismans to evolve Yang Renjie's thunder and lightning, Wu Xue's flames, and Song Kai's poisonous mist, all of which he had seen many times.

Then, he carefully experimented a few times, using soul talismans to evolve some less powerful spiritual techniques into his Destruction Sword Path. Although in the end, it was automatically shattered because the spirit method could not withstand the peak-level sword intent, but it gave Yao Ruoyu some confidence in his heart.

After discovering that he could evolve thunder and lightning that day, Yao Ruoyu suddenly thought that since he could evolve thunder and lightning, could he evolve the spirit method and turn it into his own sword path to make up for the weakness of his lack of sword skills.

After experimenting, Yao Ruoyu found that this inspiration was actually feasible, but because the destructive power of the Destruction Sword Dao was too huge, so if you wanted to transform into the Spirit Method, you had to choose one that was extremely powerful and could compete with the Destruction Sword Dao.

After thinking about it, Yao Ruoyu finally chose [Water and Fire Splashing Ink Trick].

This is the top ten killing moves in the trickery, and it is difficult for Yao Ruoyu at this stage to perform this trick unless he uses all the means such as the Ice Season Altar, [Heavenly Performance], and [Broken Mirror].

But the power of this secret technique is indeed huge, and it was with this move that day that he severely damaged Planck in the half-step six realms in one fell swoop.

After two days of deduction and simulation, Yao Ruoyu successfully transformed the [Water and Fire Splashing Ink Technique] into the Sword Dao of Destruction, and named it [Spiral Sword]. Although the power is not as good as the genuine [Water and Fire Splashing Ink Technique], using the characteristics of the [Spiral Sword], his sword power can be more than four times greater, and the penetration power is almost comparable to that of the [Ice Waterfall Sword].

After leaving the customs, Yao Ruoyu learned from Su Mei that Bai Qiuyu had just come to look for him yesterday, and he seemed to have something important, but because he was in retreat, he could only give up.

sent someone to inform Bai Qiuyu that he had been out of the customs, and then Yao Ruoyu went to the dining room to have a full meal, because he was intoxicated with sword skills in the two days of retreat, he didn't care about eating more, and as a result, he was already hungry and rumbling before he got out.

As soon as she had finished eating, Su Mei came over and told the legend that Bai Qiuyu had arrived, but she still took the two of them with her. Yao Ruoyu didn't think much about it, and asked her to lead Bai Qiuyu to the front hall, and then he touched his belly, got up and left the dining room, and walked to the front hall.

The dining room and the main door are almost far away from the front hall, so Yao Ruoyu and Bai Qiuyu entered the front hall almost front and back, Yao Ruoyu arrived later, and as soon as he entered, he saw Bai Qiuyu and two young people standing in the hall.

Before thinking about it, Yao Ruoyu walked into the front hall and smiled at the three of them: "I'm sorry, I've been waiting for a long time." ”

"King Wen. When Bai Qiuyu and the two saw him coming, they immediately saluted.

"Okay, I don't have so many rules here, sit down by yourself, Su Mei, serve tea," waving his sleeves, Yao Ruoyu smiled and came to the upper seat to sit down, casually picked up a word plum from the table and threw it into his mouth, and asked, "Brother Qiuyu, who are these two?"

Seeing Yao Ruoyu's casual posture, the faces of the two young people changed slightly, the former was pleased with the agreement, and the latter frowned slightly.

As early as in Chongqing, Bai Qiuyu met Yao Ruoyu, and his temperament itself was a little free, otherwise he would not have traveled alone back then, so when he saw Yao Ruoyu say this, he also let go of his body and said with a smile: "King Yuwen, these two are friends made by Weichen when he traveled in his early years, and this time he was invited by Weichen to come to my Wenbang." ”

"Oh, I can get your approval to send out an invitation, I think there should be a great talent," Yao Ruoyu became interested, looked at the two of them with a smile, and asked, "I don't know what the two gentlemen are called?"

"Yuzhou Guo Fengjie, the word Jiawen. ”

"Caomin Wen Yuancai, the word Borong, a native of Xuzhou, Jiangsu. ”

Seeing Yao Ruoyu's inquiry, the two replied one after another, but Guo Fengjie's words were chic and calm, quite free-spirited, and Wen Yuancai was a little steady, and his expression was much more serious than Guo Fengjie.

Yao Ruoyu groaned slightly, and said with a smile: "Since Qiu Yu is so strongly recommended, I believe that the two of them must have great talents, but there are countless heroes in China, I don't know why the two of them chose this king here?"

To be honest, just after speaking, Yao Ruoyu inexplicably felt as if he had returned to the time when he was still the vice chairman and interviewed new students when the student union was recruiting.

Wen Yuancai groaned slightly when he heard this, as if he had doubts, but Guo Fengjie smiled indifferently: "I refused Brother Ali's solicitation, but I angered him, and I had to stay away from my hometown and settle in Chongqing Mansion two years ago, so I met Brother Qiuyu." ”

"I see. Yao Ruoyu nodded abruptly, with a little surprise in his eyes.

Ali Buge is the seventh son of the Mongolian Khan Torre, in charge of Henan's large and small civil, political and military affairs, and is the first person in Henan.

At the same time, Wen Yuancai said: "The grass people were originally the master of the longevity city lord, but the city lord's temperament really made the grass people dislike it, so he left half a year ago, and later got acquainted with Brother Qiuyu. ”

"Longevity City Lord?" Yao Ruoyu was slightly stunned, he didn't know this city lord, so he could only turn his head to look at Bai Qiuyu, who lived up to his expectations, and explained with a smile: "The name of the longevity city lord is Yang Guang, and he is now one hundred and seven years old, it is said that this old man is extremely afraid of death, and it seems that in the past two years, even the political affairs have been handed over to his granddaughter to deal with, and he has maintained his health in the mountains in order to live a long life." ”

"Wow, one hundred and seven years old?" Yao Ruoyu couldn't help but sigh, even in modern times, centenarians are rare, I can't imagine that this time I knew one in ancient times, and I was so afraid of death.

After briefly thinking about the origin of the two, Yao Ruoyu smiled and said, "How long have you been in my Wenbang?"

"Brother Zai Xia and Yuancai both arrived yesterday. Guo Fengjie said.

Bowing slightly, Yao Ruo smiled foolishly: "Well, presumably the two of you should have already understood Wenbang before coming, I don't know if you have any suggestions for our city-state?"

Knowing that Yao Ruoyu was going to test the two of them, Guo Fengjie smiled slightly and said, "Brother Yuancai, please ask first." ”

Wen Yuancai did not shirk, and after a little silence, he said: "The grass people have three suggestions, first, the laws of the city-state are not secret, there are many loopholes, the grass people have studied the laws of the state before they came, if there are grass people as teachers, even if they kill people, they are sure to become innocent." ”

"Oh?" Yao Ruoyu raised his eyebrows, but he didn't ask in detail, the laws of the city-state were formulated by him and Bai Junru and others back then, because he didn't understand these things before, so he was changed on the basis of the previous laws, and it was normal to have loopholes.

"Second, there are too many ministers, the ministers live in the king, after a long time, there will be changes," Wen Yuancai frowned, puzzled, "The grass people don't understand, why the prince will distribute so much power, not to mention anything else, just Brother Qiuyu's family, one family and two ministers, what a glory and what a power." ”

Bai Qiuyu smiled embarrassedly when he heard this, he knew that Wen Yuancai's character was like this, so he didn't get angry, Guo Fengjie was giggling beside him, looking like he was watching the excitement.

Yao Ruoyu was also happy when he saw this, and glanced at Bai Qiuyu mockingly, before asking, "What about the third?"

Speaking of this, Wen Yuancai did not hesitate, and said straightforwardly: "Third, the king has been absent for a long time, as far as the grass people know, the prince has stayed in the city-state for almost half of the time in the past half a year, and the rest of the time is outside, the city-state is currently not large, and it cannot be compared with the Song Dynasty, if the prince is not here for a long time, he will lose the support of the people after a long time." ”

When Yao Ruoyu heard this, he suddenly asked, "Sir, do you think that the people's heart lies in the king himself?"

Wen Yuan was stunned when he heard this, and then Yao Ruoyu looked at Guo Fengjie and said with a smile: "What does Mr. think of the people's hearts?"

He asked suddenly, but Guo Fengjie seemed to have expected it, and shook his sleeves unhurriedly, and then said: "If the politics are clear, the people will be stable." ”

"That's right," Yao Ruoyu nodded and said with a smile, "This is also what this king thinks, if the city-state policy is wise, so that everyone has a home to live in, everyone has something to eat, and everyone does not have to worry about their livelihood, how can the people's hearts be lost?"

Wen Yuan was slightly silent when he heard this, and then bowed and said no more.

Yao Ruoyu looked at Guo Fengjie and said with a smile: "What about Mr.?"

"Population, farming. Guo Fengjie said with a smile.

Yao Ruoyu was slightly stunned when he heard this, and after thinking about it for a few breaths, he was suddenly startled, and suddenly slapped his thigh, and said with his chin bowed: "If it weren't for Mr. Reminder, I would have almost noticed." ”

What Guo Fengjie said is a problem that no one is aware of at present.

Because of Yao Ruoyu's policy of absorbing displaced people, the population of Diaoyu City and Hezhou City increased dramatically, and in the future, all the people in the towns and villages in the territory will be relocated to the Yitong City and Sanjiang City that are under construction, and it is estimated that in another year or so, the population of the entire Wenbang will reach nearly 500,000.

With such a large population, the daily food needs are also huge, but there is not much land suitable for growing crops in the city-state, and most of the food has to be purchased from outside.

Now because it belongs to the vassal state of the Song Dynasty, it can still be purchased from the territory of the Song Dynasty, but if Qin Hui or other forces attack them in the future, once the source of food is cut off, hundreds of thousands of people in the city-state will be in a situation where they have no food to eat.

Seeing that Yao Ruoyu woke up so quickly, Guo Fengjie's eyes flashed with a hint of appreciation, and then he said: "Jiawen is willing to be a courtier of Wenbang, and I also ask King Wen for permission." ”

Coming back to his senses, Yao Ruoyu smiled and said: "My state is now full of high-level official positions, and there are no vacancies for the time being, I wonder if Mr. is willing to succumb to Yitong City before going to Yitong City to serve as the head of the city street?"

"City Street Administrator?" Guo Fengjie was slightly stunned when he heard this, obviously he had never heard of this position.

"This is a new creation of this king, and his responsibility is to manage the affairs of the streets in the city," Yao Ruoyu explained, and then said, "There will be an evaluation every six months, and if you do a good job, you can naturally be promoted." ”

Guo Fengjie suddenly understood, groaned slightly, and said, "There is nothing to do." ”

Seeing Yao Ruoyu looking at him, Wen Yuan thought for a moment and said, "The grass people are also willing to be your courtiers." ”

Yao Ruoyu said with a smile: "The city will be completed in half a year, and there will be a criminal branch hall to manage criminal cases in the city, is Mr. willing to be the master of the branch hall?"

Wen Yuancai immediately bowed his head when he heard this: "Naturally willing." ”

Guo Fengjie and Wen Yuancai both knew that they had just arrived in the city-state after all, and even if they were a little talented, they would not become a high-level in one step, so they were very satisfied with being able to serve as a middle-level manager.

At the same time, Yao Ruoyu is also quite satisfied with the two.

Since the rebellion of the remnants of the Western Xia, Yao Ruoyu has also thought about it carefully, and found that there are indeed some problems with the strategy of holding power firmly all along.

Xu Xuanrong and Song Kai are indeed talented, and Yang Renjie and others are not bad, but relying on them alone cannot support a huge city-state, not to mention that the scale of the city-state may grow in the future, even if they are all talented, they will not be busy at all.

That's why Yao Ruoyu will allow each city to form an army of one town, so that it can make up for the problem that the overall number of literary and artistic armies is too small when the war is urgent and the troops are insufficient.

However, the release of military power is military, civilian, and political, and they still need more talents. For example, Guo Fengjie and Wen Yuancai, who Bai Qiuyu introduced this time, although they couldn't see it when they met for the first time, but the exchange just now also showed some talent, so Yao Ruoyu gave them two middle-level management positions.

Looking at Guo Fengjie and Wen Yuancai, Yao Ruoyu suddenly thought that in a few years, how many talents there would be in the city-state, and how many civil and military generals would be under his command.

Thinking about it, he was a little stupid.
