Wu Zhou Dynasty, sealed the palace.

As soon as Zhou Chuan stepped into the palace hall, Fan Zhongyan walked in with a white-clothed bishop dressed in the Southern Branch of the Holy Sect, and said with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, the Southern Branch of the Holy Sect has sent an envoy to discuss the matter of entering the palace. ”

Zhou Chuan raised his head and looked at the white-clothed bishop in the main hall with a headache, to be honest, he really didn't want to let them settle in, and under the high cost, he couldn't see any benefits, he really didn't want to.

But the face project still has to be done, and it is one thing to talk about it or not, and the face of the southern branch still has to be given.

A large comfortable seat was lifted out of the apse and placed in the hall, He Deliao respectfully invited the distinguished guest to the seat, and the melon and fruit cakes were also brought up by the little eunuch one by one.

The white cardinal sat on it, waiting for Fan Zhongyan and Zhou Chuan to explain the meaning and reason.

The feelings are not here to make money this time, but to send benefits, because the Wuzhou Dynasty has risen strongly, and there is a big backer of Buddhism behind it. At the same time, because the Wu Zhou Dynasty attacked and eliminated most of the mountain bandit and pirate forces in the southwest, this was a great achievement for the Holy Sect, especially since Zhou Chuan had not yet been settled by the other two holy places, which made them pay attention to it at once.

In addition to the surprise, after investigation, they believed that the Wu Zhou Dynasty had the potential to become a high-level dynasty, so they hoped that the Wuzhou Dynasty would be settled by the Southern Branch as an intermediate dynasty and enjoy the treatment of a high-level dynasty.

And the fee is still paid according to the fee of the intermediate dynasty, which makes Zhou Chuan a little confused, because the southern branch is directly responsible for the southern high-level dynasty, unlike the Sunset Dynasty and the Mobei Dynasty, which are responsible for the local branch.

Especially in the southwest, this place is very special, in the heart of the Holy Sect, this is the absolutely safe rear after the outbreak of the God War in the future, and he is naturally willing to envelop it, and the other point that the cardinal did not say, that is, the southern branch is not in agreement with the southern local branch, and Zhong An needs a potential intermediate dynasty like Zhou Chuan to support him.

Soon, after Fan Zhongyan finished speaking, the white-clothed bishop began to read: "The Southern Branch of the Holy Church, after careful consideration, the intermediate dynasty Wu Zhou Dynasty has all the potential to become a high-level dynasty, and hereby settle in the name of the Southern Branch, pay 300 million yuan per year, and hope that the Wu Zhou Dynasty will build a temple as soon as possible to welcome the arrival of the cardinal archbishops, priests, and holy knights, and the scale of the temple shall not be smaller than the local temple." ”

"If Your Majesty has no objections, you can put your seal on it, and I can also take it back to the Southern Branch. The white cardinal smiled mildly and handed over the scroll protocol in his hand.

"In that case, I will cover it. ”

Zhou Chuan doesn't ink either, since the warmth is here, if he doesn't pick it up, there is a problem with his brain.

"Then farewell!" the cardinal took back the stamped settlement agreement, instructed him, and turned to leave, taking the boat back to the Southern Branch, as if he had been rehearsed.

After sending off the resolute white bishop, Zhou Chuan and Fan Zhongyan looked at each other and smiled, but they didn't expect that the southern branch, which was still a rival at the beginning, suddenly became a partner of the Wu Zhou Dynasty. No matter what grudges the southern branch and the local branch have, it has nothing to do with Zhou Chuan anyway, and they have picked up benefits.

If it weren't for the Southern Branch, Pu Cheng would not have come to look for trouble, the Southern Branch would not have noticed the Wu Zhou Dynasty, not to mention that their impression of the Wu Zhou Dynasty was not very good at the beginning.

Now, everything will be different, the southern branch settled in the Wuzhou Dynasty, paying 300 million yuan per year, and it is also necessary to send a holy sect equivalent to the local branch to come, which can be described as an earth-shattering event in the southwest, because there has never been a dynasty in the southwest that can be settled in the southern branch. The bishop is not the archbishop of the local branch, but the real bishop from the southern branch, who is so powerful that even if he is in an outlying place, he is the absolute leader.

It is enough to see the importance of the Southern Branch to the Wu Zhou Dynasty and to Zhou Chuan, so at the expense of blood.

The high-level dynasty could only obtain such a holy order, and if it weren't for the Wu Zhou Dynasty's constant standing on the cusp of stirring up the storm during this time, the Southern Branch would definitely not have made a decision so quickly.

In the Holy Order, there are generally two categories, one is the Bishop of Peace, who spreads the teachings of the Holy Religion and spreads the glory of the God of War and Peace. The other group is the bishops who advocate war, and this group tends to be extremely fond and passionate about fighting, and is more popular, but there are not many Southern chapters.

"If it's a bishop who is a believer in the god of war, that's great. Fan Zhongyan said with anticipation.

"Hehe, the believer bishop of the God of War is a sought-after commodity in any high-level dynasty, will they come to the middle-level dynasty?" Zhou Chuan shook his head and said lightly: "But anyway, this is an opportunity, just to take advantage of the situation to send troops, using Baoqing as a starting point, to send troops to the Tongji Dynasty." ”

"What Your Majesty said is very true, and the old minister will go to draft the documents and requisition 300,000 farmers to build the temple. Fan Zhongyan nodded and hurriedly said yes.

"Fan Xiang, you can't be too harsh on the people, they are all my people. Zhou Chuan stretched his waist and said lightly.

Now that the agreement has been signed, then the construction will naturally begin, Fan Zhongyan quickly drafted the charter, the temple must be in the main city, so Baoqing chose the location of the temple, and Zhou Chuan put it outside the address of the military academy, so that the younger people can be afraid of the prestige of the holy sect.

And this news was naturally going to spread, when the people were requisitioned, it was said that it was to build a temple and welcome the Holy Order to settle in, and the people of the Wuzhou Dynasty were ecstatic, and immediately many laborers expressed their willingness to be requisitioned.

One month of requisition period, each person can get two yuan stone income, this is simply a high income, many people immediately put into the fanatical labor, in order not to delay the construction period, uninterrupted from the Wu Zhou Dynasty, directly the building with the food therapy also brought over.

In the following month, all the scriptures of the Wu Zhou Dynasty were recorded in the construction of the temple, and the temple was next to the military academy divided by the Wu Zhou Dynasty, and the progress was extremely fast, and all the people hoped that the Holy Order would arrive as soon as possible.

Hundreds of thousands of laborers, eating, drinking and Lazar is also a problem, but fortunately, at the beginning of the establishment of the new capital, Zhou Chuan built the underground sewage tank, which will also become an important building for the people of the Wu Zhou Dynasty in the future.

Zhou Chuan has long been aware of these problems, through the plan given by Fan Zhongyan, after a series of discussions, the plan was finally finalized, Zhou Chuan didn't want to see people defecating on the street, it would affect his mood too much.

However, this time came news again.

Originally, Zhou Chuan planned to attack the Tongji Dynasty first, but what he didn't expect was that others would come to attack the Wuzhou Dynasty.
