Chapter Fifty-Three: Saving Daji and Sacrificing the King of Witch Sacrifices

At the end of October of the second year of Emperor Xin, the Eastern Expeditionary Army triumphed, but Qin Lan first stayed in the territory of Jiang Huan Chu, the Eastern Bohou, for dozens of days...... While Jiang Huan Chu's territory lavishly rewarded Dong Bohou for his achievements in this expedition, it was for him to gain face, but the most important thing was to secretly explain that he would rebuild a new class of troops according to Qin Lan's previous plan.

Qin Lan left behind the method of iron-making, and also left some talents, allowing Dong Bohou to build five types of conventional troops in Donglu.

Scouts, swords and shields, changge, archers, light cavalry.

Ten years later, when the Three Sects signed the Divine Bang Xiqi Army, presumably the Donglu army would give them a big surprise.

After everything was arranged, Qin Lan set off with Wen Zhong and the others again, this time planning to return to Chaoge directly, but when passing through the territory of Hou Suhu in Jizhou, Qin Lan suddenly remembered, isn't Su Daji the daughter of Su Hu? It's just that she was killed by the fox spirit found by Nuwa in the future...... At this time, Su Daji should have just been born, if I take her away, who will Nuwa's nine-tailed fox spirit go to possess in the future?

I have to say that Qin Lan's temporary intention saved a person, a person who was very important to him.

When Qin Lan mentioned his daughter in front of Su Hu, Su Hu's face had been very strange, so Qin Lan showed that something was wrong, so he immediately asked to see Su Daji...... Sure enough, as he guessed, Su Daji was only five or six years old this year, but she was locked up in prison by Su Hu, living a life that was even worse than that of a prisoner.

What's going on?

Su Daji sat on the dirty and messy straw mat and looked at Qin Lan and the others curiously, this little girl's head was unkempt and messy, and her whole body was so dirty that she didn't know how long she hadn't changed her clothes, the only thing special was that her eyes were big and bright.

Is this the childhood of the enchantress Daji, who will be famous for thousands of years in the future?

"Di Xin doesn't know, this little monster is actually more than seventeen years old this year...... Su Hu seems to dislike Su Daji very much, and the title is very unpolite, "She has been very abnormal since she was born, and she can even speak at birth, and then she often says some inexplicable things, and then she has not grown up, we all suspect that she is the reincarnation of the mountain spirit monster, so we locked her here." ”

"You mean...... Is she seventeen years old this year?" Qin Lan narrowed her eyes slightly, "I ordered all sixteen-year-old women to be sent to the palace that year ago, and you didn't do so?"

"Di Xin forgives the sin" Su Hu and the others hurriedly knelt down, "It's just that she looks like this, where does Xiaohou dare to send it?"

"Let her out first. ”

Qin Lan looked up and down at Su Daji who was standing in front of her, she was too small, because she couldn't eat well and wear well, she looked a little yellow and thin, so Qin Lan squatted down and beckoned to her, "Do you know me?"

"I don't know you......" Su Daji blinked wide, "but from your expression, I know you know me." ”

"Ha......" Qin Lan smiled, "Then Xiao Daji, are you willing to follow me in the future?"

"I'm still young...... I can't sleep with you and have children. ”

“......”

Qin Lan took Su Daji away, Su Hu didn't dare to have any opinions, in fact, if it wasn't for the fact that Daji was indeed born by his wife, maybe he would have killed Daji in the morning, although he didn't understand why Di Xin knew that he had a daughter, and he didn't understand why Di Xin was interested in his daughter, but after sending Qin Lan and the others away, Su Hu was indeed relieved.

Qin Lan soon returned to Chaoge with the army, and now the big merchants are still singing and dancing, except for Dongyi, there is basically no external trouble, and there is a dog Rong in the north, but this is a small problem, and after Qin Lan pulls up a cavalry, it is simply not necessary to destroy them.

Chaoge has Uncle Wang Bigan in charge, Qin Lan is still more assured, no matter what, Bigan is absolutely loyal to the big business...... But Qin Lan couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw Bigan who came to greet him, Bigan's face was yellow, and the dark circles under his eyes could be compared to that of a panda.

"Uncle Wang, what are you?"

"Dixin, it's not the things you left behind...... It's been a bad year for me. Bigan even complained, which really surprised Qin Lan, and it wasn't until he returned to the palace and listened to Bigan explain that Qin Lan understood why Bigan was so tired.

Qin Lan's Eastern Expedition left a shadow of political reform, he planned to start from the highest point of the imperial court to implement the reform from the top down, the advantage of this is that it will be a little difficult at first, but once it is implemented, it will become easier and easier, so he only put forward the proposal to build six departments, and asked Bigan to implement it himself. This is a very simple matter in Qin Lan's mind, this is because the era in which Qin Lan lived before was already the Three Kingdoms era of this model, but in the big merchants who are still in the slave system, it is definitely a big event to implement such a detailed division.

Bigan is not an ordinary person, of course, he saw from Qin Lan's idea that a more advanced management method is only good for the country...... So he vigorously promoted the reform when Qin Lan was away, and the extent of what he did was too much beyond Qin Lan's expectations, and even in some of the princes' fiefdoms, he also planned to implement the six-ministry system, but in this way, there were too many people who were touched on their interests, so Bigan began to suffer resistance and resistance, but Bigan was also a stubborn person, he thought that what was good for the country must be implemented to the end, so he had been running around for the implementation of reforms for the past year, and naturally became what it is now.

"At present, more than 100 of the eight hundred princes have agreed to accept the six-part system, and I am currently doing the work of Xibohou Jichang, the four princes, he is your uncle, and he is most likely to agree......" Looking at Bigan triumphantly inviting credit in front of him, Qin Lan was speechless.

"Uncle Wang, there is no one else here, and I won't lie to you, do you know what the six-part system represents?" Qin Lan helped Bigan sit down, but he stood there looking at him," If the six ministries are successfully implemented, it means that the whole country is controlled by my emperor, and the eight hundred princes of my Dashang will be abolished, they are no longer kings, and they have no right to make laws in their own territory, and even all things must be reported to me before they can be implemented, even to the army, they have no right to interfere, simply put, the six ministries system is the means I use to recover the power of these princes...... Our Great Shang relied on the princes to guard the Quartet, but now that the princes are powerful, if we don't take back our rights, our Great Shang will be in danger of destruction soon after. ”

"......" Bi Gan looked at Qin Lan in amazement, since he started the reform, he had thought about the benefits of the six-part system, but he didn't expect that the main purpose would be this......

Centralized system?

"So Uncle Wang, my dear uncle will never agree to the six-part system, and even, ten years later, he will send troops to destroy my Great Shang ......" Qin Lan shook his head indifferently, "The territories of the four princes have become their own small kingdoms, before I asked Dongbohou Jiang Huan Chu to send troops together, he actually allocated all the old and disabled soldiers, it was purely perfunctory, if it wasn't for the strength of my Wang Division, his soldiers would just be a drag...... I personally conscripted, Jiang Huan Chu still dared to do this, it can be seen that although the four princes still nominally obey my song, but in fact, they already have other ideas in their hearts, how can your decree work, Uncle Wang?"

"Dong Bohou dares to do this......" Bigan was stunned again, "Isn't he afraid that Di Xin will send troops to denounce him?"

"Huh...... After all, I am just a young new emperor, and I have no prestige, how can the four princes willingly surrender? Uncle Wang, the matter of reform, let's take our time, first take Chaoge as our heart, slowly think about the surrounding territory radiation, and then ......" Qin Lan narrowed his eyes, "The land of the eight hundred princes, I will take it back one by one"

When Qin Lan ascended the throne two years ago, the lively scene of the eight hundred princes gathering to sing and congratulate had not dissipated, but now Qin Lan announced loudly in this hall that he would abolish the eight hundred princes

Bigan slowly stood up, straightened his clothes, and knelt down. "Originally, Di Xin went to the soup to fight the fire and prosper my big business foundation. ”

“......”

It's much easier to do with the support of Bigan, so the big and small officials of Chaoge don't know when it started, and there are many more talented people under the young master than Gan, and Bigan gave them some privileges and placed them in the newly built six departments, with this group of strangers, the efficiency of the six departments began to be greatly improved, and then many people showed a very sad fact that they seemed to be hollowed out......

Huang Feihu, the king of Wucheng, has also been very busy recently, because he saw the power of the special troops created by Qin Lan during the Eastern Expedition, especially his love for cavalry, so he took the initiative to ask for orders to rebuild the cavalry corps that had been basically destroyed.

Of course Qin Lan agreed, but what Huang Feihu didn't know was that the Ministry of War here had already begun to transform and rebuild the arms, and the Ministry of Industry was now also going all out to make iron......

There is more than Gan and Wen Zhong to help in state affairs, and Qin Lan really doesn't have much to do in normal times...... Zhan Lan and the others are all hurrying up to cultivate, although they are Qin Lan's concubines, but Qin Lan can see them once a month is considered good, so when Qin Lan is fine, she can only go to Daji for recreation.

Although Daji is small, her heart is not small at all.

In fact, Qin Lan had always suspected that she was Chu Xuan, but there was no evidence. It is impossible for Daji to remember everything before him, because he is not an artifact, so he has no strength to break through the power shackles of reincarnation, and others can't help this even if they want to. Qin Lan summoned Daji from the demon refining pot and let the two Daji meet, but Xiao Daji knew that he also had another world, so he clamored to go over and have a look.

It's amazing to see this, Xiao Daji doesn't want to come out at all, because there are a lot of things she wants to learn......

Qin Lan lost even the last bit of fun, this day was really boring, so he put on ordinary people's clothes and went shopping on the street...... He is not a private visit to Weifu, in fact, the current big business is not bad, at least what he sees in Chaoge is thriving, he Qin Lan does not levy any heavy taxes, the people basically live and work in peace and contentment, and there is nothing that needs him to pay a private visit to Weifu, just go out shopping and breathe, another purpose is to ...... Look for those immortals who like to wander around the world, and of course it is best to find Jiang Ziya.

Some people may ask, since he knows Jiang Ziya's identity, why didn't Qin Lan, as the emperor, directly order to find Jiang Ziya and then kill him?

It's very simple, Jiang Ziya is the person who was found by Yuan Shi Tianzun to be a god, although he is essentially a trick, but he is still a little bit important in Yuan Shi Tianzun's mind, and Qin Lan doesn't want Jiang Ziya's position to be obtained by Shen Gongbao in the future, so Shen Gongbao is better to help himself...... And who knows what reason those guys who think they obey the destiny of heaven will find in the future, if Qin Lan ordered Jiang Ziya to be killed, Yuan Shi Tianzun doesn't know what dirty water will be used to splash him in the future.

Therefore, Qin Lan's purpose in looking for Jiang Ziya was just to control him.

How do you need to ask this?What is the Demon Refining Pot for...... Of course, the more secret this thing is, the better, and it is better that no one can show it.

In the Great Merchants, the history of barter has completely become a thing of the past, the commercial behavior of bartering money has begun to take shape, the land and water transportation trade is also relatively up, there are many kinds of goods in the market, the most is bronze handicrafts and pottery, there are also some expensive goods, such as silk, sea pearls, etc., the currency used for circulation is a special copper shell. The market of Chaoge is full of people, it seems very lively, and the defense of men and women at this time is not as strict as the market, and the restraint on women is not high, many women go out lightly, Qin Lan is pleasing to the eye, and is thinking about when to follow the example of the king of Shang in history to hold an open-air unashamed meeting, suddenly there was a burst of exclamation from the front.

Qin Lan hurriedly walked a few steps, it was difficult to get out, of course, it was the best to see what was lively......

As a result, he was taken aback when he saw this, it turned out that there were some unwanted guests coming to Chaoge, which caused the onlookers and exclamations of the locals of Chaoge.

The Witch Sacrifice King.

The Witch Priest King, who was hidden in the cloak, walked the first kilometer, followed by several burly men, covered in steel armor, with a scimitar captured from Qin Lan on her waist, and a longbow on her back, which may not be anything, the key is that there are hundreds of attendants behind her, leading horses and luggage...... Such a large army marching through the lively Chaoge, and it is also of an alien race, naturally causes surprise.

Not to mention the ordinary people, Qin Lan was stunned for a while when he saw them, how could the Witch Sacrifice King personally run to the big business?

And by the direction in which they were walking, it seemed that they were heading towards the king's house.

The Witch King came to me?

Qin Lan suddenly fell into deep thought, he remembered that it seemed that he had only returned from Dongyi for less than two months...... Just said that there will be no time after that, this witch sacrifice king actually sent it to the door by herself, has she already made up her mind? It seems that it shouldn't be so fast, it is not easy for the nine clans of Dongyi to unify their opinions.

And the most amazing and strange thing that made Qin Lan feel was how she broke into Chaoge all the way?

Dongbohou Jiang Huan Chu knew her, so let her understand through this Qin Lan, but there are many places from Donglu to Chaoge, and she can easily pass through these hundreds of people? And Chaoge doesn't have soldiers guarding the city? This is completely impossible, how did they let her in?

Anyway, since the Witch Sacrifice King had already come, Qin Lan couldn't continue to wander outside, so he immediately turned around and went back to the palace, and not long after changing his clothes, he heard a report from his subordinates, saying that the Dongyi Witch Sacrifice King asked to see him.

......

Qin Lan met the Witch Sacrifice King in the main hall, she took the initiative to take off her face towel for the first time after seeing Qin Lan, and sure enough, as Qin Lan guessed, she was a stunning woman, maybe because she didn't see the light for many years, most of her face was a little pale, but in the face of Qin Lan's curiosity, her complexion actually showed a burst of crimson.

It turned out that the witch sacrifice king and his people were on the grounds that they had come to Chaoge to offer treasures to Emperor Xinjin, so that the checkpoints along the way were released.

What is it that is so important? No one makes it difficult?

Faced with this question, the Witch Priest King was silent, but his face turned even redder...... So Qin Lan didn't continue to ask, but changed the topic to ask her about her intentions.

"Di Xin, you also know that we Dongyi are the descendants of Chiyou, and we have always been at odds with your original Xuanyuan descendants, so although we know that the original is strong, the nine clans are not very willing to accept Di Xin's kindness...... I couldn't figure it out, so I simply didn't think too much about it, so I came to Yuan to see your transformation and technology in person, and maybe I could show something to improve the situation of my clan. ”

"I see. Qin Lan nodded clearly, if the Dongyi people are so easy to subdue, how can the great merchants die for six hundred years?" "In this case, I will explain it, and let people give convenience to the Witch Sacrifice King, what do you want to see, what you learn, just explain." ”

"Thank you, Dixin. The Witch Sacrifice King stood up, "In front of Di Xin, the concubine can not be an adult, Di Xin only needs to call me Yao Ji." ”

"Yao Ji?" How does it sound like a demon queen, Qin Lan smiled, "Then I'm welcome, but I didn't expect that as a member of the Nine Clans, you would be so young and ...... Pretty. ”

"Is the concubine really beautiful?" Yao Ji's eyes turned, and then turned away a little, "I don't know how it compares to Di Xin's concubine?"

“......”

―――――――― the dividing line of nonsense――――――――

Maybe there will be a new book next month......

So this book ...... Possible...... Maybe...... There will be interruptions, and everyone knows that I am really busy...... But let's say, perhaps, I really don't have time to think about novels now, I just hope that the work will be done soon.

My protagonist in the new book is tentatively Haotian Tower, and his ability may not be imagined by many people, well, we will definitely write it well in the next book, which can be assured, but I don't know if the editor can pass it. I really haven't been in the mood at all lately.
