Chapter 1: Post-War Summary
Wen Taishi was rescued by Our Lady of the Golden Spirit and disappeared. Jiang Ziya was not disappointed because of Wen Zhong's escape, but seized the opportunity and joined forces with Huang Feihu, Nangong Shi, and King Wu to annihilate all the soldiers and horses led by Wen Taishi and the reinforcements from Qinglong Pass.
At this time, the defense of Qinglong Pass was empty, and there was no general to defend it, so it was a good time to seize the pass.
However, Jiang Ziya did not attack Qinglong Pass, but retreated back to Xiqi and continued to defend.
Qinglong Pass is far away from Xiqi, and if you occupy an official, you will drive straight in.
At this time, Xiqi had not yet integrated the two hundred princes of the West, and it was difficult to compete with the Great Shang, once it went deep into the Qinglong Pass, it was cut off from the back road, and it had to face the threat of Bishui Pass and Sanshan Pass, but it was difficult to support it alone.
Of course, Qiao Kun also knew one of the most important reasons, the key to the robbery at this time was still in Xiqi, and he had not yet reached Qinglong Pass. Jiang Ziya did not dare to act against the will of heaven.
Wen Taishi has been in the world for decades, invincible, rarely defeated, this time in Xiqi halberd, the news spread, the world was shocked, Xiqi was shocked.
Although Wen Zhong himself fled, all the elites of his subordinates were lost, and it was also a fact that the strength of Dashang was greatly reduced.
Originally, there were 200 princes in the West, and less than half of them supported Xiqi. is still waiting and watching, most of the princes support it openly, but in fact, the first rat is at both ends. He has never supported the army, equipment, grain and grass for Xiqi, and there are only a few inferior horses.
This is also the result of Ji Chang's efforts to govern the country and influence the two hundred princes of the West with benevolence and virtue.
Now that the Xiqi army has been defeated and heard of the Taishi, the two hundred princes in the West are all happy and convinced, and they have supported them, sending soldiers and horses, grain and grass, and materials.
Of course, Jiang Ziya said that it was more artistic, only saying that the world had been bitter for a long time, and now that Xiqi was defeated, the Western princes were naturally happy.
Although these princes provided many men and horses, Jiang Ziya did not accept too much, but only accepted a thousand soldiers and fifty horses from each prince.
However, there were more than 200 princes, with a large base, and in the end they also gathered a large army of 200,000 and 10,000 war horses.
This is similar to paying tribute, but Jiang Ziya chose to be mutually beneficial, accepting soldiers and horses, grain and grass, equipment, and materials, and compensating them financially.
The compensation is cotton cloth, brown sugar and other economic products, as well as some seasonings developed by Qiao Kun and so on. The basic value is equivalent to that given by the princes.
It's certainly not entirely well-intentioned. Xiqi was originally the richest of the two hundred princes.
In recent years, intercropping, intercropping, and so on, and improve agricultural tools, Xiqi has a variety of grain crops, grain production is quite abundant, and there are cotton cloth, cotton clothes, cloth clothes, brown sugar, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, etc., businessmen have many contacts, more wealthy.
However, more than 100 Western princes have not been too closely connected with Xiqi, and now they are promoting special products and other things, in order to use the wealth of Xiqi to control the 200 Western princes from the economic level, so that the 200 Western princes have to fight in coordination with Xiqi.
This plan has to be protracted to see the effect, but Jiang Ziya still insists on implementing it, and Ji Fa naturally agrees.
Among them, the work of determining the value of various items, coordinating manpower, and escorting grain, grass, materials, etc. among the two hundred princes was handed over to Ji Dan, and Qiao Kun was responsible for assisting.
Because Qiao Kun was already responsible for the Xiqi army's military rations, grass and materials, clothing weaving, weapons, shields, armor and so on.
This work is not easy, Jiang Ziya sent many people such as San Yisheng to assist, and also deployed many generals and unknown generals to be responsible for transporting materials back and forth. And that knot was in it.
Qiao Kun has 100,000 heavenly soldiers and gods to assist in the calculation, and the calculation is naturally easy, but the manpower is a little stretched, only Long Huan, Wu Qian as adjutants, generals, and the eldest nephew Ji Yi help.
Jiang Ziya also arranged for many young people to help, including the son of the Sanyi family, the son of the Sanyi family, the son of the Mao family, Mao Zhen, the son of the Mao Gongsui family, and Ji Ke, the son of the Zhaogong family.
At this time, there was no imperial examination, and education was not fully popularized, even if Ji Changxing was educated, there were still many illiterates. Naturally, it is the children of these high-ranking official families who occupy key positions.
Like San Yisheng, there were several other sons, some of whom were ranked as township teachers and were responsible for cultivating the fields, while others were zaifu and assisted in the management of the fiefdom.
But fortunately, although these sons have a prominent family background, they are very modest and not squeamish, and they work hard under Qiao Kun.
Later, Qiao Kun found out that these were all the little brothers of the eldest nephew Ji Yi, so he didn't dare to play tricks in front of him.
Mao Zhen and Ji Ke are relatively close to Qiao Kun, both of them are both civil and military, both of them practice the eight strengths of Qiankun, and their cultivation is not too bad, in short, they can't compare to Huang Feibiao, and they are about as much as Huang Feibiao worse than Huang Feibiao.
San Yijin is a Shuchang Jishi, and he is not skilled in martial arts, although he has a sunny name, but his personality is relatively cold, and he is very gloomy and very strange when he occasionally looks at Qiao Kun.
Qiao Kun has the ability of a god to sense emotions, but this ability is not omnipotent, what can be sensed depends on the other party's cultivation, identity, and closeness to Qiao Kun.
If the other party's cultivation is too high and his identity is too high, it is very likely that he will not be able to perceive anything. In addition, if you are not close to him, or if you are wary, the emotions that can be sensed are very ambiguous.
For example, the golden immortals such as the Burning Lamp Daoren, Guang Chengzi, and Red Sperm are too high in cultivation, and they don't have a single thought, and their emotions rarely make waves, so Qiao Kun basically can't sense their emotions.
Ji Fa is in a high position, and he is protected by the luck of all the people, and it is not easy to sense, but Ji Fa is extremely close to Qiao Kun, and Qiao Kun can sense many emotions.
Although this San Yijin is not high in status and his cultivation is not deep, he is not close to Qiao Kun, so he naturally feels less.
Qiao Kun only vaguely felt that the mood was sour, a little jealous, and there seemed to be many other feelings, which were very complicated, but not hostile.
Qiao Kun was a little inexplicable, I didn't know what this guy was jealous of him, identity, status or martial arts. You can't be jealous of his beauty, can you? But since it was not hostile, Qiao Kun ignored him.
Anyway, San Yijin will always complete the task honestly, and the efficiency is quite high, and Qiao Kun also needs such talents.
Later, when Miss Ji Xinrou took San Yilian to see him, San Yijin appeared that emotion again, and Qiao Kun understood that this guy was still a sister control.
Because San Yilian has a good impression of Qiao Kun, San Yijin has this emotion.
Qiao Kun sensed that San Yilian had a good impression of him, he didn't know why, obviously the last time they met, he was very cold to this girl.
As for Miss Ji Xinrou, Qiao Kun can sense more emotions, because Ji Xinrou is very close to him.
This young lady is in a more interesting mood, she is a pure sister and brother to Qiao Kun, and she also wants to match him and San Yilian, it seems that she is afraid that he will die alone, and she is worried about her little sister.
There is also a more subtle emotion, which is a kind of show-off, if translated into words, it is probably "Look at my brother, look good" or something like that.
Qiao Kun almost burst out laughing. He didn't know that this young lady was so cute. The ability of the gods to sense emotions is indeed very interesting.
Although he knew that the young lady wanted to match him and Xiaolian, Qiao Kun didn't want to cooperate at all, he didn't like San Yilian, this Xiaolian was still a child in his opinion.
What's more, he wants to practice and cultivate into a golden immortal, and he doesn't want his children to grow up.
is the Golden Immortal, who is cannon fodder in the God Tribulation, let alone him?
If it weren't for the fact that he had 100,000 Heavenly Soldier Gods to help sort out all kinds of information and turn his cultivation into walking, sitting and lying, he wouldn't even want to do the work of a "little winter official".
Fortunately, his Yuan Shen is getting stronger and stronger, and he can cope with the work with only a little thought, and there are more thoughts to understand, summarize, and precipitate, and there is also "Easy Map Change" to help him sort out the gains of these days.
Although Xiqi's affairs were delayed, he was not slow in efficiency, but in just a few months, he sorted out all the gains from the Dao of Enlightenment.
During this time, he worked every day, Ji Xinrou took San Yilian to see him, he practiced with the fiery eye beast every day, and his life was very regular.
But many other things have happened.
First of all, Nanbohou Eshun heard that Xiqi defeated Wen Taishi, and sent someone to congratulate him, accompanied by Eshun's daughter Exinling, but Eshun hoped that his daughter could make a marriage contract with a son of Xiqi.
This girl is supple when she hears the name, and she looks petite, but she is a little heroic between her eyebrows, but she seems to be assertive.
Ji Fa looked around, and then his gaze fell on Qiao Kun. At that time, Qiao Kun was still a little nervous, so he simply chose the eldest nephew Ji Yi in the end.
In addition, Ji Fa rewarded the generals. Qiao Kun has a lot of credit because of his military merits, military supplies, and internal affairs.
King Wu moved his heir up two places and ranked him fifth in the Great Zhou Dynasty. gave him an extra county fiefdom, and also gave him a vacant rank, which was slightly lower than Sikong, and was a small Sikong.
Although he is nominally close to Sikong, he does not grab Sikong's work, and is only responsible for hundreds of workers in the army, so he is a small Sikong.
At this time, Sikong was not the third duke, but the sixth qing, who was responsible for hundreds of work, and was called the "winter official".
Qiao Kun was originally in charge of the affairs of the army. Now it's even more true. He is also known as the "Little Winter Official".
Qiao Kun doesn't care, as long as he is not called "Chunguan", because "Xiaochunguan" sounds weird.
However, the "spring official" is mainly responsible for the sacrifice of the clan and praying to the heavens, and is often held by the highly respected seniors in the clan, and with his status and status, he does not have this qualification.
If the war ends, Qiao Kun will become Sikong, and he will be able to go to Dasikong in the future, responsible for the affairs of the national hundred workers, which is very promising.
Even now, this official position is not bad. After all, they are civilian personnel in the military system, and they don't have to charge into battle nominally, which is very safe.
Of course, whether to charge forward or not, that is Jiang Ziya's final say, there is really no one Qiao Kun still has to be on top.
It's just that a civilian is always allowed to charge, after all, it's not appropriate, it will look like no one in Xiqi. I think Jiang Ziya will also pay attention to the impact.
In fact, Qiao Kun just wants to cultivate immortals quietly, and he doesn't value ordinary human wealth.
But he did not refuse to be promoted, after being promoted, he had more right to speak, and he could put forward some suggestions appropriately to transform the surroundings of Xiqi and make the people of Xiqi live a better life.
Now Xiqi has entered a rare period of rest, and it is time to restore people's livelihood.
Even if no one listens to him, he can also make the people in his fiefdom live well.
However, Ji Fa and Jiang Ziya still followed some of his suggestions, built roads, built water conservancy, and even let Qiao Kun personally take charge of this matter.
Qiao Kun comprehended the wonder of the immortal method, and often used the immortal method to analyze what he was used to before, and then sorted it out into steps that ordinary people could complete, and then completed it by his subordinates.
Sometimes he needs the help of the people, and he will pay the people for their work, so that the people can spend money again.
Qiao Kun also made a suggestion to collect the coins of the Great Merchants and mint the coins of the Great Zhou, and in the future, grain, cotton, cotton cloth, brown sugar and other things were circulated with the coins of the Great Zhou.
Jiang Ziya and Ji Dan are very supportive, but the matter is big and has not yet been carried out.
After this battle, Ji Fa became closer and closer to Qiao Kun, and he didn't know why. Even contrary to the norm, he once again rewarded the "East Kitchen Division Destiny Blessing Divine Monarch", so that the Lord of the Stove could be sacrificed in Xiqi City.
"The major affairs of the country are in Rong and worship", rewarding and sacrificing to the gods is actually a consumption of human luck, the power of sentient beings, every king attaches great importance to sacrifices, Ji Fa did this, Qiao Kun couldn't understand why.
It may be that Ji Fa also sensed that the Burning Lamp Dao was thinking about planning his royal luck. So consume these luck in advance.
"The East Kitchen Division Destiny Blessing God Monarch" was rewarded by Ji Fa again, and there was part of the authority of the Si Ming given by the "Taiji Jinque Emperor", which improved a lot, even if there were millions of people in Xiqi City, the Lord of the Stove could also protect the people of Xiqi City and prevent the people from suffering.
The new idol is carved in comparison with the previous image, and unlike the previous one, this idol has a large black cauldron behind it.
As the king of the stove, there seems to be nothing wrong with carrying the pot, but Qiao Kun inexplicably remembered the word "carrying the black pot", and always felt that his god clone would suffer some great grievances in the future.
Qiao Kun contacted his Shinto clone, and the Shinto clone was happily responding to the believers.
One of the abilities of the Shinto clone makes the food of the believers more delicious, so that they can familiarize themselves with the way the food is handled, and improve on the original taste, and cannot force the taste to taste regardless of the ingredients and craftsmanship.
But it's obvious enough that chefs are improving their cooking skills very quickly, especially if they are dedicated to improving their cooking skills, and the food they make can even make people feel happy.
It's just that the time is still short, and if a few years pass, I'm afraid that more people will come to Xiqi to learn cooking and worship the King of the Stove, and Xiqi will become a holy place for chefs.
In addition, the Lord of the Stove can also protect the safety of the kitchen, determine good and evil, and impose rewards or punishments according to good and evil.
The divine power of the priest is healing, and the Shinto clone can cast spells to dispel diseases and save people, at this time the medical science is not developed, and the divine power of the priest can save people's lives.
These supernatural powers are very useful, so the "Eastern Chef Destiny Blessing Shenjun" has a very popular base and obtains a lot of incense.
The power of the incense of all living beings is continuously transmitted through the Shinto clone to the Heavenly Palace transformed by the "Cave God Heavenly Emperor Yuan Transformation Sutra", and after being refined by the Heavenly Palace, half of it is intercepted and then returned to the Shinto clone.
The part that is passed on to the Heavenly Palace is divided between the 100,000 Heavenly Soldiers and Divine Generals and the Star Monarch Heavenly Officials, and the calculation ability of the Heavenly Soldiers and Divine Generals and the Star Monarch Heavenly Officials is constantly improved. The "Cave God Heavenly Emperor Yuan Transformation Sutra" has also been greatly improved.
It's just that it is too difficult to support 100,000 Heavenly Soldiers and Divine Generals through the power of the Shinto clones and promote the progress of the "Cave God Heavenly Emperor Yuan Transformation Sutra".
Seeing that everything was on the right track, Qiao Kun wanted to retreat and summarize everything he knew, learned, and understood during this time.
