There are mostly mountains and hills in Fentie County, and the branches of the Liang River that flow through them have dried up one after another, so they are not well populated.

In addition, the natural disasters and wars since the end of Xiangxing have caused serious population losses and outflows, and now there are only more than 500,000 registered people in the six counties, which is far from the county-level regulations.

Due to the lack of manpower and the loss of technical support from the Daxu Ministry of Industry, it is difficult to open a new mine, so it can only barely maintain the operation of the old mine, which is less than 20% of the output at the peak.

At the beginning, Zhao Qi married his daughter and generously sent two mines, which was purely difficult to develop and utilize, and it was a favor.

The status of Fentie County in Liang State and even Liangzhou is like the status of Border City County in Dingzhou, with only poverty and backwardness.

But such a small county and a poor county immediately underwent a major change after Zhou Bai was stationed and the Great Xia court took over the jurisdiction.

Whether it is survival or life, they have been basically guaranteed, which cannot be compared with Dingzhou itself, but it is very different from the neighboring Liangzhou counties.

First of all, the Great Xia Daolu Division and the Martial Academy sent a large number of Taoist officials and warriors to carry out a carpet sweep of the places where ghosts haunt Fentie County.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao'an exterminated the bandits from all over the country, and those who did not register down the mountain within a month were killed together.

In terms of the most fundamental personal safety, the people of Fentie don't have to worry too much, even in the countryside, they can see patrols and rangers from time to time.

After the establishment of Wuwei, a series of measures were introduced, such as the establishment of township offices, the establishment of shelters for displaced people, the distribution of green seedlings, and the encouragement of trade, all very quickly.

How rich is the accumulation of several years of recuperation in Daxia, it has been verified in Fentie County, and the reserve of talents and resources is ready to cover the system of a state.

Needless to say, the storage of the harvest every year, even if there is a famine in the whole territory of Liangzhou, there is no need to worry about it in a short time.

And reserve officials, it may not be enough to raise people and show talents, but Tongsheng must be enough.

Today, with the steady progress of the enlightenment and literacy system in Daxia, those who have excellent grades in primary schools and colleges will not have a problem in the examination.

In the sixth year of Tongzhi alone, 1,536 new children were recorded on the register of reserve officers.

Children who are born can then participate in the Daxia Public Service Examination and complete the selection of grassroots practical affairs management, and then they can serve as village officials and even township officials.

These child officials do not need to be like the purple-robed ruler to dominate the country's major policies, nor do they need to be like a landlord to connect the upper and lower officials, they only need to carry out the imperial decrees.

It can make the people of a township and a village know and understand the imperial decree and obey it, even if it is dutiful.

The basic route of the Great Xia imperial power to the countryside has been copied and promoted unconsciously.

At this point of centralization, the control over the local area has reached its peak, and in terms of the princes of the world, few can compare with Zhou Bai's human power.

Sometimes Zhou Bai observed the humanity and luck he had gathered, and he only felt that it was majestic and immense, and the gold content of Emperor Dayan's fake character was not as good as his current duke character.

The Great Yan Dynasty of the heterogeneous plane, like Daxu, has the county level at the grassroots level, and then downward, it can only be governed by the cooperation of the three elders and Haoqiang.

It's just that the humanitarian development of the Tianyuan Continent has gone through hundreds of dynasties and thousands of dynasties, so isn't there a single male lord who has broken the special status of the great clan in the local area?

The answer is definitely not.

Not to mention the monarch of the future generations, the founding ancestor was mostly a prancing horse and bent the bow to take the world personally, and it was not difficult to establish a system of imperial power to go to the countryside.

It is even said that some Emperor Taizu is extremely intelligent, and the centralized system he has built is more perfect than that of Great Xia.

And there are only two reasons why it is difficult for the imperial power to go to the countryside.

First, all dynasties pursued the policy of ignoring the people, and the spread of knowledge was controlled in the hands of the gentry family.

The wisdom of the people is not opened, and long-term peace and stability are profound historical experience, and there are few emperors who violate this iron law after the Middle Ages.

The second is that luck is limited, a three-hundred-year-old dynasty under the supervision of the Heavenly Court, the development of all aspects is deeply limited, and the luck will naturally not have much surplus.

In this case, how can there be a complete system of luck to supply the imperial power to the countryside, such as Zhou Xia set up a township bureau and village officials, and the luck required for the staffing alone is an astronomical amount.

Zhou Bai dared to be the first in the world, which is the abundant luck brought by the growing humane productivity of Great Xia.

Just a plan to "eradicate hunger" from the very beginning of the layout to the current harvest has produced a huge amount of luck.

The vast fertile land on the land of Dingzhou is generating white qi all the time, supporting what outsiders think is a "bloated" system.

In addition, the production workshops invested by the Tiangong Institute and the application of industrialization and spiritual technology are leading the development of Daxia faster and faster.

……

At the end of June, Zhou Bai personally inspected the dredging project by the side of the Liang River, a branch of the Liang River.

Tens of thousands of river workers are busy in the dry river, dredging and widening the river as much as possible.

The number of famous Taoist officials in the Daolu Division of Great Xia is increasing day by day, which has far surpassed the former Dingzhou Governor's Mansion, but there is still a big gap compared to the demand of Great Xia.

The amount of river dredging work is too large, and the mana of the officials needs to be used in key places, such as the blockage of estuaries upstream and downstream.

The earth tremors that came from time to time in the distance were the actions of the Earth Spirit Root Dao officials who opened the river.

Because Great Xia borrowed the most from extraordinary power in infrastructure projects, marching and opening roads, farming and breeding, etc., now the Taoists of various sects and scattered cultivation in Dingzhou who have not entered the Tao hope to awaken the "ordinary" water and earth spiritual roots when building the foundation.

What thunder wind and ice spirit root, what gold fire main attack spirit root, is not as real as water and soil.

There is no way, the Taoist official compilation is also rolled, even if you are not highly talented, the imperial court still raises you, and you also have luck and spiritual stone pill resources for repairing roads and fields, and it is expected to go to the realm.

But if the other spiritual roots don't have outstanding talents in all aspects, then they don't need to think about directly obtaining the establishment.

The disciples of the sect are fortunate to say that there is a channel for obtaining resources, even if most of the tasks are related to the official affairs of the imperial court.

And most of the casual cultivators can only be co-opted by the imperial court if they want to have a promising path, and there is a way to follow at least the two and three realms with the establishment of Taoist officials.

Nowadays, ordinary casual cultivators are on the right path, either joining the front-line battle of the Taoist group, or taking over tasks from Tianya Pavilion, so that they can accumulate contributions and become regular.

"Hey, brothers, work hard, there's mutton soup at noon!"

"The Dao officials and adults in the difficult and dangerous places have helped us through, no matter how slow our progress is, we are worthy of the imperial court?!"

"Hey, after Lao Tzu finishes this work, he can buy a Qi and Blood Pill for the cub......"

With a load of silt dug out, the river in front of Zhou Bai and his party was visibly widened and smoothed with the naked eye.

"Your Majesty, according to the progress of the project, it is estimated that in one month at the latest, the Dingliang River will be completely restored." Shi Changxing, who is now the right attendant of the Ministry of Works, said respectfully.

"It's easy to say that manpower can do it, and the key is water." Zhou Bai's eyes narrowed slightly, looking in the direction of the lower reaches of the Dingliang River.

In the field of vision, a god with elegant manners and an ancient and noble aura sat on the other side of the downstream, attracting an incomparably abundant gathering of water vapor.

In the keen divine sense, Zhou Bai actually brought a tingling sense of oppression, such divine power, it can only be a revived water god.

As an innate deity, its essence is Qingyi, and the lower limit may only be the power of ordinary golden edicts, but the upper limit is difficult to predict.

After being recognized by the Great Xia Imperial Court and the people of Dingzhou making many big sacrifices, his divine power has been constantly recovering, and now he has a bit of an ancient god's demeanor.

If Zhou Bai didn't use the power of luck, he wouldn't be able to suppress this water god who had only been recovering for half a year with his own Dao method alone.

Of course, he doesn't have to press, one mountain and one water are now officially recognized as the gods of Great Xia.

Suddenly, a touch of water vapor came with the wind, and condensed water droplets hung beside Zhou Bai.

"Xia Gong, the Dragon King of Lianghe has agreed to connect the water veins." The soft voice came into his ears, which made Zhou Bai a little surprised.

Since it can transmit sound across the state, it is enough to show that the water and gas can penetrate to this point.

"Thank you for your help, otherwise it would be difficult to support logistics by land transportation alone." Zhou Bai shook his hand at the end of the Dingliang River.

Seeing this, the entourage of the ministers was immediately silent, and although they did not understand who the lord was talking to, they were not surprised by the scene of the conversation in the air.

Since the era of the establishment of the General's Mansion, Zhou Bai has not been an ordinary master, but a person with extraordinary power.

"Your Excellency is polite, expanding the waters can also accelerate the recovery of the power of Canglan."

"The Dragon King of Lianghe and all the water gods will give me some face, you don't have to worry about the lack of source water, but it is best to organize a sacrifice, so as to recognize Lianghe's merits." Between the words of the water god, he seemed to put himself in a subordinate position, without the slightest disrespect.

Thousands of miles away, the sound transmission originally showed the unpredictable magic power of its water god position, and now it can make the gods such as the Dragon King of Lianghe give up the waters, what a background this is.

The other water god Zhou Bai didn't know, but after all, the Lianghe River was the main water vein in a state, and even if the Lianghe Dragon King was weaker than the Ningjiang Dragon King, it was at least a true immortal level.

Now that he wants to give face to Canglan, who has only recovered for half a year, could it be that Canglan was a heavenly immortal or higher in its heyday?

Zhou Bai's heart moved, and he hurriedly said: "Respect God is hard, we can be friends." ”

He said this without a clue, but Canglan understood, and chuckled: "The lowest water vein dragon soul can't be exchanged for an innate god, since my husband agreed to join the Great Xia Divine Court, then how can I regret it." ”

"The monarch is not only the god lord, but also the son of luck who will lead Tian Yuan through the catastrophe in the future, and it is our duty to assist you with Tingshan."

The vest of the god lord, as well as the identity of the son of luck, all let the god of water see through, which made Zhou Bai feel a little lucky.

Fortunately, the cause and effect between them are deep enough, and they can be regarded as their own people, otherwise they will be targeted by such hostile gods, and it will be difficult for the divine court to be protected.

Canglan River, in ancient times, I am afraid that it was really not a small and medium-sized river limited to just one county.

"If there is a day when you will rule the world alone, you will be restored to the glory of the ancients." Zhou Bai was silent for a moment and made a promise again.

Last time, after he got the water vein dragon soul, he promised to unify Dingzhou, that is, to open up the Canglan water vein and awaken the Canglan water god, and it was obvious that he had fulfilled his promise.

Zhou Bai was only a child at the time of the promise, and the Tingshan Mountain God who bore cause and effect was at most a dead horse as a live horse doctor, who would have thought that he could really become the lord of a state.

Now that Zhou Bai has once again made a promise that can be called "arrogant", Canglan can't help but have mood swings even as an innate god who has experienced the vicissitudes of the world.

Arrogant? Definitely.

When he reawakened, he really thought that Zhou Bai could complete the great cause of dominating the world.

"You are not a man of his word, but Yinuo also has the weight of Dingzhou, Tianyuan World, only in your hands can the leap be completed, and you are willing to follow the ...... under the command of the Holy Lord."

A pilgrim to the Holy Lord, or a Realm Holy Lord, Zhou Bai looked at the disintegrating water droplets, and his heart was full of pride.

The courtiers around him only felt that the aura of their lord was a little thicker, as if their luck was rising.

This is the secret of the superiors, of course Zhou Bai will not explain, immediately shake off the messy thoughts, and start working by the riverside.

"The Ministry of Rites has made arrangements for the festival, the first sacrifice to the Dragon King of Lianghe, and the second sacrifice to the water gods of Lianghe."

"Well, the subordinates immediately go to the main sacrifice of Lianghe to communicate, the water god sacrifice can be carried out immediately, and the Dragon King Festival needs you to participate in person, or it can be arranged after January." When the expedition went out of the state, a considerable number of officials from the six ministries accompanied him, and at this time, it was the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites who came forward to accept the task.

"Ministry of Industry, how is the mineral development arrangement in Fentie County?"

Shi Changxing, the left waiter of the Ministry of Industry, immediately stepped forward: "Back to the king, there are now thirteen old mines in Fentie County, of which only five can ensure stable output. ”

"After investigation, Mengshan produces the best copper ore, there is a city named Mengcheng, two hectares of land, four furnaces are built, one zhang high, one zhang wide and five feet."

While Shi Changxing was talking, a household Langzhong took the opportunity to hand over a few copper coins.

"This is the Great Xia Tongbao cast according to your instructions, with a diameter of eight points, weighing two baht and four threads, accumulating ten Wen weighing one tael, and one thousand Wen weighing six catties and four taels."

Zhou Bai took the copper coin and looked at it, the stars and moon were swirling, the style was exquisite, the copper was heavy, and he couldn't help but bow his head slightly.

These four Mengshan furnaces are coinage workshops, and they will also be the first batch of Tongbao outflows in Great Xia.

Before he was called emperor, it didn't have much impact to continue to use the name of the Great Glory Year.

It's just that the various copper coins circulating in the market in Daxia today are really unbearable for Zhou Bai.

In order to make the world's wealth, Daxu Guangfa Tongzhi Tongbao, which is doped with excessive lead and tin, can be called ugly.

As long as Daxia trades with foreign countries, wealth will flow into Daxu in the middle of the region, and the economic lifeline is not entirely up to itself.

Now that there is a high-quality copper production area, Zhou Bai is the first time to let Daxia have a self-cast Tongbao.

Tear face? Not long ago.

"Yes, just mint this kind of money, and try to start circulating before the unification of Liangzhou."

"What is the internal situation in the Liang Kingdom, the Xu family or the lion is open his mouth?" Zhou Bai seemed to think of something, and asked coldly.

"Back to the king, Liang Guo's luck is sluggish, the military strength is insufficient, I am afraid that there is only one blow, and now the court is arguing over the candidate for the general of the counterinsurgency......"

……

A month later, Fentie County's summer revenue was successful.

Although it could not fully support the food and grass needs of the Great Xia army, at least there was no need for Dingzhou to transfuse blood to Fentie County, which greatly alleviated the logistical pressure.

At this time, with the support of various efficient policies in Daxia, the hearts of the people of Fentie County were attached, and the people of Xia were proud.

The disaster was expelled, the overall legal network turned red, and the government was stable.

It's just that there are still a few gray and white colors firmly embedded in the core, as if the flow of luck is blocked.
